If you ever find yourself needing a good Riverside taxi service you should call Riverside cab and get that ride with a safe and sound feeling. You can call the best taxi service in the county of Riverside California. Knowing you are getting a ride in a brand new vehicle that is clean and smells good is a major plus. But knowing your driver is very well trained and background tested is the top of the muffin. So take the time to learn your city and know who is the go to taxi service in your area. that way you will always have a ride home even on those late nights that include many drinks and beautiful women. Don't wait until the last minute and try to use your phone when the battery is going dead. Have the phone number saved ahead of time or better yet memorize it so you can just give it to your friends.
Some of the the benefits are no stopping to get gas, no worrying if you are too drunk to drive, no having to think about where you are going, you can make out with that girl you are taking home, you can take a nap if it is a long drive, the taxi will probably be nicer than your hoopty ride you are currently driving.
Riverside Cab Service is the premier riverside taxi service and should be treated like royalty. Help them to keep their awesome reputation by giving them a good review on Google and maybe even tipping your driver a little extra next time you catch a ride. You can also help by spreading the word that you know a great Taxi Service in the city of Riverside. You can tell your friend to use Riverside cab whenever possible so they are always grateful and actually keep a cab near your local hangouts to give you the best service possible.
So in closing i would like to say thank you for taking the time to read this blog. I know it sounds like I am just trying to pump up this business and maybe i am. Consider it me doing my part for the cause.

Topic: Klatskin Tumor
Hi my name is fran, my partener of 37 years was diagnosed with a Klatskin tumor March 2007. It is cancer of the gall bladder bile ducts and liver. He has been told that no treatment is available for this tumor. No one seems to know what to expect or how long he has got. He has days when he has high fevers shakes and bad pain in his gut. He bounces back after a couple of days and it is as if he has nothing wrong with him. Eating has become quite difficult as most foods seem to upset his digestion.
It seems like I am on an emotional rollercoaster as we have no idea what to expect. Col is amazing and just takes each day as it comes and carries on as normal when he can, his mind is extremely strong and nothing seems to get him down, I would be interested to hear if anyone else has this type of tumor.

Lake Fork Public Meeting Update
TYLER — On Thursday, February 4, 2010, the Wood County Industrial Commission (WCIC) and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will be hosting a public meeting at Lake Fork. This "State of the Lake" meeting will feature presentations by TPWD Inland Fisheries biologists, local TPWD Law Enforcement, and the Sabine River Authority.
Two topics that are of concern to local residents are the management of invasive aquatic plants (particularly water hyacinth) and the status of water pumping facilities at Lake Fork. These topics will be discussed along with other issues such as the status of the largemouth bass fishery at Lake Fork and an update from TPWD Law Enforcement. A large portion of the meeting will be reserved for attendees to ask questions in a "town hall" format.
All local business owners, lake homeowners, fishing guides, recreational anglers, and anyone else with an interest in the resources at Lake Fork are invited to attend.
This public meeting will take place from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Land's End Fire Department. The meeting will immediately follow the Wood County Industrial Commission's monthly meeting which begins at 6:45 p.m. The WCIC meeting is also open to the public.
Driving directions to the Land's End Fire Department: From Highway 515 (at Fisherman's One Stop) take FM 1970 south for 3.6 miles towards the Links at Land's End Golf Course.
For questions or additional information concerning the upcoming meeting, please contact TPWD Inland Fisheries management personnel in Tyler at (903) 593-5077.

2012 Ferrari 458 Spider Test Drive
400-hp 3.8-liter flat six
Price: $97,350
The inexpensive imitator: Chevy Corvette
Chevrolet's Corvette has been competing with the Porsche 911 since it first landed on our shores in 1964. Back in the 1960s, the Vette would smoke the Porsche on any road—as long as that road didn't twist. Today the sports car icons are much more evenly matched.
430-hp, 5900-rpm 6.3-liter V-8
Price: $49,525
Both should hit 60 mph in just a tick over 4 seconds. The Porsche, with its endless new technology like the Dynamic Chassis Control, which replaces the traditional antiroll bars with active ones to get you around corners faster, would probably squeak out a quicker lap time on the track. But is the Chevy less fun? No way. In fact some would argue that with fewer driver technologies, the Vette might be the purer experience.
We're not expecting to convert any lifelong 911 fans here. Behind the wheel, the Porsche is like a luxury coupe—the interior is gorgeous. The Corvette is as it's always been: a bit down-market by comparison, especially with its thinly padded thrones. But if what you want is muscle and you don't care much about the name on the back of the car, you could get the Vette and buy some very nice seats with the $47,825 you'll save. In fact, you could almost buy another brand new Corvette.

We are in Charlottesville VA
The Ultimate 4 Card Trick is exactly that! It's an astonishing card miracle performed with four cards: a "Money Card" (a card with a printed face) and three blank cards. As you take your fascinated spectators through this pasteboard adventure, you invite them to follow the "Money Card". Of course, they can't! Like the famous Monte card con, they always think they know where the Money Card is, but they are fooled every time! And as a great ending to the trick, ALL the cards turn into the Money Card!
Yes, this one takes a little skill and some practice, but it's well worth it! You'll get clear and detailed video instruction on the special "move" you'll need to learn. And once you learn it, you'll be able to use that move to perform a lot of other card tricks as well. Of course, it's a lot easier to learn when you can watch a professional magician as he explains the move to you- and that's exactly what you'll have with the DVD!
And that's all you need!

Ship Weight:0.05 Smart Girls Who Surf Surf-Vival Sport Sunscreen Broad Spectrum Face Stick SPF 30+ - 0.56 oz. Smart Girls Who Surf Surf-Vival Sport Sunscreen Broad Spectrum Face Stick SPF 30+ is formulated to provide a broad-spectrum of UVA/UVB protection! That's right; Surf-Vival's face stick is eco-friendly, biodegradable, water and sweat resistant, and made in the USA. This 100% organic face stick protects your skin with Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide and has NO chemicals, NO Parabens, and NO fragrance! Great for extreme sport junkies and all outdoor enthusiasts. Their Non-Whitening Mineral SPF 30+ Sunscreen Line has broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and is formulated with natural ingredients. We do not use any parabens or chemical sunscreen active like octinoxate and oxybenzone. Their products are sweat resistant, won't sting your eyes and made here in the USA. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration proposed implementing long over-due rules governing the ingredients, labeling, and testing of many sunscreens which claim to protect skin from both the sun's UVB rays, which cause sunburn, and more importantly, UVA rays which cause more serious long-term damage such as aging of the skin and skin cancer. Currently there are few products on the market considered broad spectrum (protect against both UVA and UVB rays). Fortunately, Smart Girls Who Surf and Surf-Vival SPF 30 sunblock are products that are considered broad-spectrum. Surf-Vival contains an active ingredient called Zinc Oxide, which is one of few FDA approved ingredients which provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Our sunblock is a natural sunblock using active ingredients called Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, to make up the SPF of 30+ and are two of the few FDA approved ingredients which provide protection from both UVA and UVB.Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?UVB rays produce that too familiar sunburn. They also cause skin cancer. Current SPF (sun protection factor) ratings effectively rate the level of UVB protection that they provide their given products. UVB rays have a shorter wave length which means that they do not penetrate in to the deep layers of the skin. UVA rays produce aging aspects of skin which include: deep wrinkles, pigmentation (sun spots) ,dry skin, and loss of elasticity. More and more studies are showing a strong link between UVA rays and the development of various types of skin cancer, specifically melanoma. What Does SPF mean?SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measure how long it takes protected skin (skin with sunscreen) to turn red or sunburn compared to unprotected skin (no sunscreen). For example if a person was out in the sun with no protection and started to burn after 10 minutes, then a person with a SPF 15 or higher sunscreen on will take 150 minutes to burn SPF values only measure the level of UVB protection. Is there really a SPF 45 or higher?No, many sunscreen companies use the SPF values as a way to market and sell their sunscreen. The reason is after reaching a level of SPF 30, there is a plateau in the effectiveness of UVB protection in sunscreen. So, a sunscreen with a SPF 30 will block 97% of UVB rays from the sun while a sunscreen with a SPF 50 will block approximately 98% of the suns UVB rays. This 1% increase equates to an additional 10 minutes, more or less of fun in the sun. When should I apply sunscreen and how often?This is the million dollar question! You should ALWAYS apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before leaving the house. Why? Because that is exactly how long it takes your skin to absorb the sunscreen and allow the the active ingredients to retract/ deflect the sun's damaging rays. Re-application of sunscreen is the key to prevention. ALWAYS re-apply sunscreen after 2 hours in the sun. There is no such thing as ALL-DAY protection. This is the biggest misconception with any sunscreen. Skin Cancer Facts More than a million people will be diagnosed with skin cancer this year One in 5 Americans will get skin cancer in the course of a lifetime More than half of all newly diagnosed cancers are skin cancers One person dies every hour from skin cancer, primarily melanoma Melanoma kills more young women than any other cancer Nationally, there are more new cases of skin cancer each year than the combined incidence of cancer of the breast, prostate, lung and colon. More than 90 percent of all skin cancers are caused by sun exposure, yet fewer than 33 percent of adults, adolescents, and children routinely use sun protection. The risk of developing melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, has more than doubled in the past decade. One in four person who develop skin cancer is under the age of 40 About Smart Girls Who Surf Some people think that a name defines who or what you are. Some people think that Smart Girls Who Surf is just for surfers. Their name was chosen because it reflects who they are and what they do. They are smart and they surf. They also snowboard, ski, play volleyball, run, swim, and spend time at the beach with their friends. They are outdoors pursuing the sports and hobbies that they love. They are aware of the need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and vigilant about protecting their skin. They are in awe of their surroundings and want to take care of their environment. The Smart Girls Who Surf name does not define who they are. Although their roots will always be in surfing, they have discovered that their superior sunscreen products can benefit men, women and children that participate in all types of action sports. While they have decided to expand into other industries, the one principle that they have not compromised is their singular commitment to deliver a high quality sunscreen formula manufactured here in the USA.

Well, running late with this blog. Personally I was thinking about passing a blog on this show over, but it is the Free Per View spectacle that is Hardcore Justice.

It's time to pick on TNA again. Now this will be the third week straight that I pick on these poor bastards. Now, it's not because I hate them. Quite the contrary, I've been looking forward to TNA the most every week. The BFG series is clearly the best reason to tune in to their program. But...the last two weeks, the stories have sucked, they really have. The lawsuit, the August 1st mystery,
Updated 08-09-2013 at 04:16 AM by wil2197
Well, after two straight TNA blogs it's time to pick on RAW, which tends to get a bit exhausting. Usually I do these blogs one of three ways:
1) Take notes on all segments shown and organize them in a blog later.
2) During commercial breaks, write on the segment that I just saw. When you see my blogs timestamped an hour after the show ends, this is usually what I've done.
Updated 08-07-2013 at 11:54 AM by wil2197
So this is it. August 1st has arrived. The big August 1st mystery shall be revealed tonight. MY problem with it...I really don't care. I expect to be disappointed by this surprise. I haven't been following the hype. I'm more so interested in Sabin/Bully build up which I'm sure will take a backseat to this crap tonight. But hey, maybe TNA will completely wow me tonight.
Updated 08-01-2013 at 11:01 PM by wil2197
Well it's been a while. Sorry, between work and internet porn, I've had distractions. But that doesn't mean that I've kept out of the loop. Actually I've been very interested in TNA, who I believe has been on a streak of putting on some pretty damn good quality shows as of late. A shame that TNA will probably be brought down in a year by terrible upper management, but that's a story
Oh boy...am I waving the naughty finger. An overall very unspectacular RAW to talk about, but first thing first...and oh boy, am I pissed.

ASSATEAGUE — Legal wrangling continued last week in the ongoing civil suit filed by a local resident against the U.S. and a National Park Ranger at Assateague over the alleged use of excessive force during an arrest on the barrier island in the summer of 2011.
Just over a year ago, Ocean Pines resident Bonnie Preziosi filed suit in U.S. District Court against the U.S. and Assateague Island National Seashore Park Ranger Dana Condron alleging false arrest and excessive use of force in violation of her Fourth Amendment rights following an incident that escalated at the national park in August 2011. Preziosi had been providing private surfing lessons to area children at the National Seashore and Park Service rangers were prepared to file charges against her for conducting private business in the park without the appropriate licenses.
Earlier this year, U.S. District Court Judge Richard D. Bennett dismissed the false arrest component of the suit after a trial court determined Preziosi indeed had been operating a private business in the national park without a license or permit. However, the judge allowed the excessive force element of the suit to continue and the case appears to be headed toward trial early next year. The suit is seeking $1 million in compensatory damages and $1.5 million in punitive damages.
In advance of the trial, legal posturing by both sides has continued with each adding subsequent witnesses to their lists after the original discovery period had expired. Preziosi has added a chiropractor to provide testimony regarding her continued physical condition following the attack, while Condron has added a witness expected to provide testimony about the training received by National Park Rangers and the options available to rangers when affecting an arrest under certain circumstances.
Because neither side has had the opportunity to depose the new witnesses or offer a rebuttal to their late entry, the judge last week approved a new scheduling order to allow for the added witnesses by both sides to be interviewed. As a result, the deadline for discovery has been moved to Jan. 7 and the deadline for dispositive pre-trial motions has been pushed back to February.
According to the suit, on Aug. 23, 2011, Preziosi had just finished giving surfing lessons to two small children in the surf at Assateague Island National Seashore. After escorting the two small children to their parents, who were waiting in the parking lot, Preziosi intended to pack up her vehicle and return home. As she was about to back out of her parking space, she was approached by ranger Condron.
"For unknown reasons, Condron then began banging on the plaintiff's car window, screaming and demanding that she open the window or else he would 'break all of the [expletive] glass in,'" according to the complaint. "The plaintiff did not attempt to drive away, resist or otherwise attempt to flee. When the plaintiff opened her car door, she was grabbed by Condron, pulled from the car, tackled and pushed face first into the asphalt of the parking lot. Condron proceeded to handcuff and forcefully restrain the plaintiff, who was wearing only a bikini bathing suit, and pushed her with his knee into the pavement."
According to the complaint, Preziosi posed no threat or potential threat to Condron's safety and there was no need whatsoever for force of any kind.
"Condron did not stop, but continued to forcibly restrain the plaintiff until she was eventually dragged in handcuffs to park headquarters, where she was given citations for failure to obey a lawful order and for conducting commercial business without a permit," the complaint reads. "Numerous persons visiting the park who happened to be nearby at the time of the attack stopped whatever they were doing to observe this misconduct."
However, in Condron's motion to dismiss the case, the defendant alleges he resorted to force to restrain and arrest Preziosi after all other methods available were exhausted.
"The defendant's actions were lawful and objectively reasonable under the circumstances because upon being asked to speak with the defendant before she left Assateague Island National Seashore and after seeing the defendant approach her and making eye contact with her in the parking lot, the plaintiff jumped in her car, locked herself inside, attempted to flee the parking lot, failed to obey the defendant's orders to roll down her window or open her car door, and became combative as a crowd of visitors gathered," Condron's answer to the complaint reads. "Plaintiff continued to barricade herself in the car even when she was told she was under arrest and another National Park Service Ranger arrived on the scene."
According to Condron's formal answer, the use of some force became necessary as the situation escalated.
"After many minutes elapsed and the plaintiff continued to refuse to obey orders, the use of some degree of coercion became necessary to affect the plaintiff's lawful arrest," the answer read.

Speculation that a late challenger might still emerge in the increasingly bitter race for the Republican presidential nomination is set to surge after former Florida governor Jeb Bush made remarks criticising the current field.
Bush, who is the brother of President George W Bush and son of President George Bush Sr, is a beloved figure among many conservatives who see him as a strong and charismatic leader who is popular in the must-win swing state of Florida. (Must be the Free Meds George Jr gave them?)
That contrasts with a widespread unease among many Republican leaders and grassroots activists with the remaining crop of Republican candidates and the vitriolic nature of the fight between frontrunner Mitt Romney and his main challengers Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.
In answers to questions from the audience after a speech in Dallas on Thursday, Bush cautioned the remaining Republican campaigns from drifting so far to the right that they put off the key independent voters needed to beat President Barack Obama in November.
"I think it's important for the candidates to recognise though they have to appeal to primary voters, and not turn off independent voters that will be part of a winning coalition," Bush told the audience according to CBS news.
Bush also directly took on the strident tone of recent Republican debates, accusing participants of scare-mongering. "I used to be a conservative and I watch these debates and I'm wondering, I don't think I've changed, but it's a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people's fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective and that's kind of where we are," he said according to Fox News.
With Mitt Romney failing so far to secure the nomination but with no convincing challenger emerging to unseat him, many Republican pundits have speculated about the possibility that none of the current field will be able to amass enough support to secure the nomination this August in Tampa.
Though that is still unlikely, and Romney remains favourite to win the contest, it has led to a slew of names being mentioned as possible "white knights" (KKK?) who could still enter the race or emerge at Tampa as a compromise candidate to unite a splintered party. They include Bush, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, Indiana governor Mitch Daniels and Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan.
Though none of these figures have expressed any intention to run, and several have repeatedly denied it, Bush's comments are likely to set the rumour mill spinning furiously.
They also come after Tea Party favourite (Cousin) Sarah Palin entered the fray, raising the idea that she might see herself as her party's saviour. In recent interviews the former Alaska governor has said she would "help" out the party if a contested convention happened and told CNN earlier this month that she believed such an event would be a good thing. "I don't think it would be a negative for the party … That's part of the competition, that's part of the process and it may happen," she said.
Ron Paul's campaign has also complicated matters. Though the libertarian-leaning Texan congressman has not yet won a single state's popular ballot, he is trying to build up a large number of delegates to take to Tampa. In caucus states, where complex rules mean the number of delegates assigned to a candidate can outweigh their score in the popular vote, Ron Paul's campaign is working hard to win as much support as possible. That could see him amass a body of delegates in Tampa that far exceeds his standings in the polls and makes a contested convention, with no one having enough support to secure victory, more likely.

Struggling Cabrera looks to turn things around
TORONTO -- Melky Cabrera was supposed to be the perfect man to fill the two-hole in the Blue Jays' lineup, but like just about everything else this season, things haven't gone exactly as everyone hoped.
Cabrera was an ideal fit, because he gets on base, hits for extra-base power and has above-average speed.
However, as April shifts into May, Cabrera has shown only brief flashes of his multifaceted skill set.
"When I see Melky, I think he's a little off-balance. I think his timing's off, he's off-balance and he's leaning back," manager John Gibbons said before Tuesday's contest against the division-leading Red Sox.
The biggest concern for Toronto comes from Cabrera's lack of extra-base hits. Through 26 games, Cabrera has only three of them -- the last one coming in the middle of the team's recent trip to Baltimore -- despite leading the team with 26 hits prior to Tuesday's game.
Although Spring Training numbers typically are irrelevant, Cabrera's spring showed everything that the Blue Jays were seeking when they signed the 28-year-old in the offseason.
However, since facing Roy Halladay in Philadelphia on March 30 during Toronto's final exhibition game, Cabrera hasn't been himself.
"He swung through a ball and it hit him right on his thigh, and that kind of threw him into a rut for a little while," said Gibbons, who believes that may be what's thrown off Cabrera's balance and impacted his timing.
"The big thing is balance. ... When they start leaning back, back-legging things because they're late, that leads to a lot of fly balls and a lot of swings and misses."

In response to requests for more light-hearted themes, the 18th annual event includes more comedies than in past years.
In a scene from the documentary Handa Handa 4, Ronen Davidov waits to take the stage during a performance with his Israeli Bukharian theater group. Before their cue, his older brother — dressed in drag for his "diva" costume — jokes that Ronen and his girlfriend, Orit, are like the opposite of Romeo and Juliet: Their families want them to get married, but the couple is content just to date for years.
It's easy to laugh at this conversation and others in the film, which focuses on the pressure the couple faces from their relatives, several of whom say, "Two dates, then get married."
But in the film, which will be screened during the 18th annual Israeli Film Festival of Philadelphia, director David Ofek also shows how this relatively unknown ethnic group from Central Asia exhibits some of the same traits and idiosyncrasies as Jews from anywhere else in the world.
"You can laugh and see it as primitive, but you can also see the other side of it and understand and appreciate the goodness in them," said Ofek, who will travel from his home in Ramat Gan, Israel, to make an appearance at the April 5 screening at Gratz College in Melrose Park.
This year's festival, which starts March 8, features more comedies than in past years. And yes, a documentary can be a comedy, too. In addition to Handa Handa 4, the festival features Hunting Elephants, a crime comedy starring Patrick Stewart about three gray-haired men and a teenager who decide to rob a bank in Jerusalem, and Peeping Toms, about an old hippie who sells assorted items on Tel Aviv beaches to make a living.
The comic relief came by request.
"People have been complaining" about the lack of humor in past years of the festival," said chairwoman Nurit Yaron, laughing. "There was one person who went up to a director of a film last year and said, 'How about making a comedy?' "
That's often easier said than done in Israel, Yaron continued.
"Usually, the American way — you have the happy ending. The Israeli way — you don't have the happy ending," said Yaron. "As you know, Israel is not always a happy ending. It's part of the culture, part of the existence of being Israeli."
This year's festival is not all laughs, though. Other films include the 2008 documentary Sharon: An Inner Journey from War to Peace, in honor of the former prime minister who died in January, and Israel's 2013 submission to the Academy Awards, Bethlehem, about a Palestinian teen torn between loyalty to his militant older brother and an Israeli secret service agent he has become close to.
Ofek said he got the idea for his documentary after spotting DVDs of the Handa Handa theater show in a Bukharian neighborhood of Tel Aviv.
The 46-year-old director, who is from an Iraqi Jewish family, said he could relate to the experience of growing up in a small, tight-knit ethnic group in Israel.
"In Israel it was hard to speak Arabic or have Arabic culture. It was the culture of the enemy," Ofek said. "Inside the house, we had Arabic music but it was all very closed."
He found his angle for a story about the Bukharian community in the ultimatum Ronen and Orit eventually faced from family and friends — get married or break up.
Most Israelis know that Bukharians are "a very strong community, but they don't know much about the inside," said Ofek, who has also made Home, a documentary about his family's experience observing the first Gulf War from afar, and No. 17, in which he tries to identify a victim of a terrorist attack in Israel.
One of the comedic scenes in Handa Handa 4 features Hay Davidov, the main character's older brother, impersonating his grandmother talking to him when he was little.
"Don't go to kindergarten," Hay says, in his grandmother's voice. "They'll kill you there! I'll raise you. I don't need your money. Just remember me. That's enough."
Despite being a traditional community, the Bukharian stakeholders agreed to be filmed, Ofek said, because he promised them the chance to voice their opinion.
"Every side in this conflict felt that he was doing the right thing," Ofek said. "And every side was willing to defend his opinion."
Initially reluctant to participate in the film, Ronen said he agreed to take part because he thought it could help "the younger generations.
"In the Bukharian community, the younger generations, they really respect their parents," said Ronen during a phone interview while he and his brother were in the midst of a U.S. tour. "They are telling them what to do and when to do it and most of the time, they are listening, but we want young people to be able to say, 'We respect you guys but we can choose for ourselves,' and that's the idea of the movie, to make your own decisions about your life."
Careful not to have their message turn into a public service announcement, Hay said that a Bukharian friend in New York who had enjoyed the movie described it as "making striptease for your soul."

U.S. defense contractors eliminated from the $10 billion competition to provide India's medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) cite several other international programs and competitions as opportunities for their respective platforms. But the start of Japan's F-X contest in April and fighter requirements in countries including Denmark, Malaysia and Brazil did nothing to mask the clear disappointment expressed by U.S. Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer and contractors Boeing and Lockheed Martin, over India's down-select decision.
The Indian Defence Ministry on April 28 said it had short-listed the Dassault Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon for the MMRCA requirement, eliminating Boeing's F/A-18IN Super Hornet and Lockheed Martin's F-16 as well as the Saab Gripen and Mikoyan MiG-35. Roemer resigned as ambassador to New Delhi the same day, although reportedly his decision predated the down select choice.
Lockheed Martin is contracted to produce the F-16 through mid-2013. Deliveries under the 126-aircraft MMRCA program would have started in 2015 or beyond, extending F-16 production.
"It's certainly a loss; let´s not sugarcoat it," said Bill McHenry, Lockheed Martin director of business development for F-16 programs. "We were spending a lot of effort and a lot of time. We took the Indian competition seriously and we were planning on those aircraft."
Nevertheless, Lockheed Martin is set to provide F-16s under Foreign Military Sales to Iraq and Oman. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) in September notified Congress of the Obama administration's intent to sell 18 F-16IQs to Iraq, a sale worth $4.2 billion with associated equipment and services. DSCA notified Congress in August of the intent to sell 18 Block 50/52 F-16s to Oman in a transaction valued at $3.5 billion.
India was the first international competition in which Boeing's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet was offered. Australia has ordered 24 tandem-seat F/A-18Fs as an interim step to Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II.
"We have work with the U.S. Navy going on that guarantees [Super Hornet] production to 2015," said a Boeing spokeswoman. Beyond that, she said, Boeing plans to compete for Japan's F-X requirement, for which bids are due in September, and fighter acquisitions by Brazil, Denmark, Malaysia and unidentified Middle Eastern countries.McHenry said Lockheed Martin is offering either the F-16 or F-35 for many of the same competitions.

Andy Coulson, British Prime Minister David Cameron's former media chief and an ex-editor of Rupert Murdoch's News of the World, was tonight charged with perjury by Scottish police.
"Strathclyde Police have arrested and charged Andrew Coulson with perjury following his detention on 30 May 2012," police confirmed.
Mr Coulson, 44, was detained in a dawn raid on his home in London and then driven to Glasgow.
His arrest relates to evidence that he gave in the perjury trial of socialist politician Tommy Sheridan at the High Court in December 2010 in a case relating to a story in the News of the World.
"Officers from Strathclyde Police's Operation Rubicon team detained a 44-year-old man in London this morning under section 14 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 on suspicion of committing perjury before the High Court in Glasgow," a spokeswoman said.
"This is an ongoing inquiry and therefore no further information is available at this time."
Mr Coulson was arrested separately in July last year by London's Metropolitan Police on suspicion of phone hacking and corruption during his tenure at the now-closed News of the World from 2003 to 2007.
After quitting the News of the World in January 2007 following the jailing of the paper's royal reporter and a private eye over hacking, Mr Coulson become communications director for Mr Cameron's Conservative Party in July that year.
He became the government's communications chief after the Conservatives entered office in May 2010 but he resigned in January 2011 after coming under pressure over the phone-hacking scandal.
Mr Coulson was still in his Downing Street role at the time of the trial involving Sheridan, a former Scottish Socialist Party leader and ex-member of the Scottish Parliament.
"We now have a start to what will hopefully become criminal charges and hopefully Mr Coulson won't be lonely but he will be joined by colleagues in the future," Sheridan, 48, said.
The News of the World - which closed in July 2011 because of the phone hacking scandal at the paper - had claimed that Sheridan was an adulterer who visited a swingers' club.
Sheridan won a 2006 defamation action against the weekly and was awarded £200,000, but in 2010 he was charged with lying on oath in relation to the case.
A jury convicted Sheridan, who represented himself, of perjury during the 2006 civil action. He was jailed for three years in January 2011 and released from prison a year later.
Operation Rubicon is the investigation into allegations of phone hacking, breach of data protection and perjury in Scotland, a separate jurisdiction to England.
Its officers have been tasked by state prosecutors the Crown Office to examine aspects of the evidence presented during Sheridan's perjury trial.
Strathclyde Police, Scotland's largest constabulary, is liaising with the Metropolitan Police, which is running the main investigations relating to alleged activities at the News of the World.
Mr Coulson appeared before the Leveson Inquiry, the probe into the culture, practices and ethics of the British press, on 10 May.
He said Mr Cameron had accepted his assurances that he knew nothing about phone hacking at the News of the World and insisted there was no "grand conspiracy" between the media empire and the Conservatives.
Mr Coulson admitted he kept shares in Rupert Murdoch's US-based News Corporation while working for Mr Cameron, and that he might have had unsupervised access to top secret documents despite not having a full security clearance.

PERTH trainer Adam Durrant is not concerned that his arrival in Melbourne with vastly improved stayer Mr Moet has been largely overshadowed by the appearance later this month of Western Australia's unbeaten sprinter Barakey in Victoria.
In fact those involved with the Australian Cup hopeful are more than happy to fly under the radar and allow the speedy Barakey to absorb the media attention and leave Mr Moet to make his Melbourne debut as a relative unknown.
It has been a quick and heady rise to group racing for Mr Moet, who only last June started to show any semblance of worthwhile potential.
His remarkable vein of form translated into group success during the WA summer carnival.
So rapid was his leap from restricted company to winning the group 1 Railway Stakes with a withering finishing burst, it led connections to decide on a trip east and a shot at the Australian Cup.
''He's come a long, long way that's for sure. He showed nothing in his first six race starts. In fact after his first three trips to the races I thought he was just no good,'' Durrant said.
''But suddenly in June things clicked and he just went from battling to better to very good, and now we are in Melbourne having a crack at major races like the Australian Cup.''
Durrant, 29, knows that match fitness is very much on the side of WA gallopers at this time of year. With the summer carnival having just concluded, those emerging from the major races still have the sort of residual fitness that the two major contenders for Saturday's group 1 Orr Stakes at Caulfield - All Too Hard and Callanish - will be lacking, particularly so as both are making their first racecourse appearances since the spring.
''We have the fitness angle very much on our side. It was only a matter of winding [Mr Moet] up a few weeks ago and he's back to a very high level of fitness. Some of the others may be caught off guard,'' Durrant said.
''He's showed back home that he is pretty clean winded meaning that a short break since he last started and Saturday's race looks ideal. But horses like All Too Hard are very smart and can never be taken lightly.''
Mr Moet arrived last Friday and Durrant said the gelding had travelled well and was thriving at Jason Warren's Mornington stables. WA jockey Daniel Staeck will ride Mr Moet in all his races in Melbourne.
''We feel he's going better than he was before the Railway,'' Durrant said. ''He's nice and bright and doing everything right. The 1400 on the Caulfield track might be a fraction short, but he'll give it a big shake.''
A bold showing on Saturday at Caulfield and Mr Moet will be well and truly on the radar for the $1 million Australian Cup (2000m) at Flemington on March 9.

Broussard Mayor Says He Is Withdrawing Lawsuit Against The City Of Lafayette
An announcement has come from Broussard Mayor Charles Langlinais in regards to the City's lawsuit against the City of Lafayette. Langlinais has said that he will withdraw the lawsuit over the annexation of Vieux Chenes Golf Course and the property on Ambassador Caffery leading to it. The mayor has shared with KPEL News the following statement:
"I have instructed the attorneys for the City of Broussard to withdraw our objection to the efforts by the City of Lafayette to annex its golf course and the two and a half miles of Ambassador Caffery Parkway leading to the golf course. We objected to that annexation only because we felt that inclusion of any portion of the Ambassador Caffery roadbed was both unnecessary and unreasonable. Nevertheless, we will end our opposition to that annexation as a sign of good faith in the hope that Lafayette will respond in kind. We will continue to oppose the annexation of citizens that petitioned to come into the City of Broussard.
Langlinais has also called on Lafayette City-Parish President Joey Durel to make a similar showing of good faith. He says he would like to sit down with Durel, along with Broussard's representatives and a neutral mediator, to resolve any remaining disputes that stand between Broussard and the City of Lafayette.
Langlinais also said,
Pending Lafayette's response to this offer, we will continue to protect the safety of our families in their homes, children in school, elderly in nursing homes, businesses, and all others who depend upon the binding water contract signed by the parish government, and the emergency services funded by our taxpayers."
At question was the timing of Langlinais' announcement. Just a week ago on KPEL's "Lafayette Live," Durel had threatened to suspend fire dispatch services for Broussard if the smaller city didn't drop the lawsuit. Amy Jones, a spokesperson for the city of Broussard, said Langlinais wanted to make sure that such services for citizens would remain uninterrupted.
"We're hopeful that we'll be able to go to mediation and get all these other issues resolved and then move forward as good neighbors to one another," Jones said.
On several occasions on "Lafayette Live," Durel has implored Langlinais to sit down with a mediator to resolve their issues. Jones said Broussard has repeatedly requested such mediation, but those requests were ignored by Lafayette.
Jones said,
Until earlier this week was the first time that they've agreed to do so. So it has been months of Broussard saying, 'Let's go to mediation. Let's get these issues resolved.' And really, until earlier this week, that was the first time that there has been any talk of going to mediation to get these things resolved.
KPEL contacted Durel, and he issued the following statement in response,
I have not seen the press release, and once again Mayor Langlinais has decided to do this through the media instead of contacting me directly. It's a move in the right direction. They have taken one step and now they have to take the other step."

I went to a White Sox vs. Yankees game recently and got a ball from one of the players during batting practice. I then went over by the White Sox dugout and was shocked to see that Reggie was signing autographs. I got in the crowd of people and managed to get the ball signed by Reggie. The ball is not in perfect condition at all since it was used in a game and in BP but the grass stains and scuff marks add to the elegance of the ball.

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 20 (IANS) Minister of State for Human Resource Development Shashi Tharoor Sunday locked horns with the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) expressing his displeasure after two Duleep Trophy matches were washed out in Kochi.
The Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha member said KCA has brought disgrace to the state after the first semifinal (Oct 10-14) of the prestigious tournament was rained out and the ongoing final (Oct 17-21) has seen just 10 overs being bowled yet.
"Who benefitted from the Rs.8 crores spent on the drainage system in the stadium," tweeted Tharoor.
Consequent to this, cricketers Harbhajan Singh and Virender Sehwag's chances of making a comeback has almost disappeared, with just one day left to play.
National selection committee chairman Sandeep Patil left Saturday evening and it is unlikely if selector Roger Binny will make it to the ground now.
"It's a big folly on the part of KCA and its president T.C. Mathew to schedule a match of prime importance when the rains come down heavily in the state in the months of October and November. The ideal time to stage a match would be in the month of January," said Ajith Kumar, former KCA secretary and arch rival of Mathew.
Meanwhile, Mathew hit back at Tharoor by saying that the total cost of setting up a drainage system at the stadium was just Rs.1 crore and not Rs.8 crore.
"Tharoor is miffed at not being made an office bearer of the KCA. Not a single paisa has been spent from the state exchequer and the only way for the impasse to end is a stadium owned and operated by the KCA. Here too, there is a section who is playing games," reacted Mathew.
Incidentally, with the north-east monsoon beating down on the state, all eyes are on what would happen to the first One-Day International (ODI) scheduled for Nov 21 against the visiting West Indies side.

I am pleased to welcome you to your school, Notre Dame of Louaize, you who have come willingly, urged by your enthusiasm and want for knowledge, in order to acquire and develop new skills and pursue your project; that of building your personality, your behaviors and your attitudes based on moral, human and social values.
Dear students, I would like to assure you that your school, Notre Dame of Louaize, in which your tutors have renewed the covenant of trust, is in the first place a space open for your reunions and your cooperation in a framework of respect, understanding and collaboration. It is also the ideal place for your growing maturity, developing capabilities and rising culture. Finally, it is the horizon which hosts and supports your talents.
Each one of you is an objective of our objectives.
We think and act for each one of you.
We seek to renew and to progress at all levels for your sake, for you are not mere numbers on an insignificant list, or customers pursuing a specific item, but human beings who, once gathered, form the largest part of the Louaizean family.
Our school is neither a prison nor a military barracks. It is a place where there is no room for fear and worry. Our school is rather an oasis in which dream, thought, work and creativity are in perfect safety. Trust us and be sure that we are at an equal distance from all of you; we treat you equally, relying on justice, which we have chosen to be the slogan for the coming years.
I expect that each one of you lives these positive aspects of education under the banner of general regulations and public order, because anarchy, God forbid, destroys all plans, deteriorates all work and distorts all dreams…
I invite you to spend a distinguished and unique school year, during which you dedicate yourself to work in joy, peace, love and compassion, in the hope of achieving through this change a good share of your ambitions and a new aspect of your personality, far from the unnecessary chaos and negative behaviors that do not fit the Louaizean student.

In return, put everything at work in order to accomplish your goals and never forget that rights and duties should always be equal …

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The wife of a Nova Southeastern University professor stabbed to death in his home testified Tuesday about the night he died.
Linda Morrissey took the stand in the trial of Randy Tundidor Sr. and recounted the sequence of events on a night in April 2010 that led to the death of her husband, Joseph Morrissey.
Prosecutors said Tundidor stabbed Joseph Morrissey to death in his Plantation home because Morrissey was about to evict him. They said Randy Tundidor Sr. worked with his son, Randy Tundidor Jr., in the robbery and killing.
Prosecutors said Randy Tundidor Jr. forced the couple to drive to an ATM to get cash, tied them up in their home, covered their faces with towels in the master bedroom, and then let his father in the house to finish the job.
Linda Morrissey said that while she was tied up, the intruder forced her husband into the living room. She counted his hops -- 32 -- and then listened as he pleaded with the killer for mercy.
"At first he said, he said, 'Randy, you know me. I have kids. Please, please don't do it," Linda Morrissey said.
Jurors now have to ponder whether Joseph Morrissey was talking to Randy Tundidor Sr. or Randy Tundidor Jr.
After killing Joseph Morrissey, investigators said, the killer set the house on fire.
Linda Morrissey was tied up in the burning home, and her husband was bleeding to death in the other room. That's when she said her 5-year-old son, who witnessed most of the ordeal, stepped in to save her life.
"I couldn't get up and I started crying, and I called Patrick, and I said, 'Patrick, you have to be a big boy. You have to help Mommy and Daddy. Please help me,'" Linda Morrissey said. "He's standing in the door, looking. He's scared. And I said, 'Patrick, please be a big boy and go get the scissors.'"
Linda Morrissey told jurors she cut off the zip ties that bound her legs and quickly ushered her son to the front door, away from the raging fire in the kitchen. Joseph Morrissey lay dying with nine stab wounds on the family room floor. His wife said she struggled to move his bloody, lifeless body away from the flames.
"I couldn't understand when I was standing next to Joe why there was so much warm mud on the floor. I couldn't understand that. It didn't make sense, and then I realized. I slipped. It was slippery stuff," she said. "When I picked him up, my hand, this hand, went right into him, and I thought I was hurting him more."
Defense attorneys said Randy Tundidor Jr. acted alone in the case and is framing his father.
Both men are charged in the case. If convicted, Randy Tundidor Sr. faces the death penalty.
Linda Morrissey was expected to continue her testimony Tuesday afternoon.

This morning, Wal-Mart (WMT) reported a disappointing top line across all segments -- but we were braced for much worse considering the recently leaked internal company emails.
A domestic 1% comparison for the fourth quarter was not exactly inspiring, especially considering the all-important traffic metric turned negative for the first time in five quarters. What happened to all those price investments driving more people into the stores? After a leaked email that asked, "Where are all the customers?" (referring to January business), investors' minds were working overtime.
Wal-Mart cited all the reasons we have been worrying about: higher payroll taxes, rising gas prices and delayed tax refunds. Sam's Club was not spared either, as both divisions warned of a slow start to February. Enter rogue email No. 2, where a Wal-Mart executive suggested February was off to the worst start he had seen in seven years.
I would add another pressure to the mix: the dollar stores. As I previously have pointed out, Dollar General (DG) and Family Dollar Stores (FDO) have signaled that pricing was getting ugly as far back as October. Pricing battles have intensified since. That can't help the "Every Day Low Price" leader already struggling to keep traffic positive.
In terms of guidance, first-quarter comparisons are estimated to be flat. The plan seems aggressive considering the company is up against a 2.6% comparison. That implies acceleration in the two-year trend. I don't see any reason to believe trends will improve in the next three months.
For now, the market can thank those emails for setting the bar incredibly low.

Corporate Taxes: No Safe Haven
The US has been trying to get multinationals based in the US to pay taxes on revenue generated outside of the country for years. Now Europe is going after multinationals, as well.
The New York Times reports today that several European nations, particularly France and the UK, are pushing to collect taxes from US companies such as Amazon.com and Google that conduct their business primarily on the Internet. Though the companies are in compliance with EU tax laws, governments struggling to balance their budgets are taking a second look at tax codes.
The US has been fighting a similar battle on two fronts: state taxes and corporate income taxes. Some US states have been able to collect taxes from Internet sales when a shipper (such as Amazon.com) has a physical presence in the state. Corporate tax efforts have been less successful. International companies are in full compliance with US laws when they bank their revenue in foreign countries, and companies such as Amazon, Apple, Cisco, Google, and General Electric pay virtually no US taxes on that revenue. (See: It's Only a Holiday if You Actually Pay Taxes.)
Several remedies have been suggested by the US, including amnesty or one-time-only charges for companies that want to repatriate their cash. (See: Apple, Cisco, Google, Seek Tax Relief to Repatriate Cash.) Detractors reject the proposals, saying the revenue derived from such moves would have little or no effect on the nation's debt crisis. They are absolutely right. The US -- like many other nations -- is beyond a onetime fix. Closing tax loopholes has been a popular campaign promise in the US, but little progress has been made. Now it will be a race to see which government collects those international taxes first.
Clearly, the US fiscal cliff and the EU's debt crisis are fueling those efforts, and maybe it does take a global economic crisis to spur tax reform. But it shouldn't. Either the tax codes are equitable, or they're not. The furor over multinationals' revenue implies the tax laws are OK until somebody really needs the money. According to the NYT, companies like Google and Amazon.com "pay little or no taxes in Europe, despite generating billions of dollars in revenue on the Continent."
Business models such as the Internet do change tax implications, and tax codes should be updated accordingly. The Internet is still a relatively new business model, and it's understandable that it may take a while for tax codes to catch up. However, globalization isn't new. Tax loopholes should be identified and closed when questions first arise. "While some American corporate leaders have been lobbying in Washington for another tax holiday, lawmakers in Europe are moving to collect a greater share of multinationals' taxes," the NYT says.
Though it's tough to have a lot of sympathy for multinational corporations sitting on piles of cash, their revenue shouldn't be the spoils of an international tax war.

Exclusive: THE X FACTOR Standout Carly Rose Sonenclar Talks Broadway Beginnings, WONDERLAND and More
The X Factor's pint-sized powerhouse Carly Rose Sonenclar made the leap to the $5 million singing competition this fall with her audition to Nina Simone's "Feeling Good," which has skyrocketed to over 15 million views on YouTube in just over a month.
Theater audiences know Sonenclar from the 2006 revival of Les Misérables or in 2011's Wonderland, but the 13-year-old found the perfect time to change gears. "There aren't many shows I could do right now. There's Annie, but I'm a little too old for that," Sonenclar said in a phone interview on Monday. "This is a good time for The X Factor."
The Westchester, NY native's first stage role came in the form of 2006's musical The Night of the Hunter, based on the horror novel of the same name, at just 7 years old. "My friends and I went to acting workshops. I got signed from one of those, and it all just kind of happened from there." She explains. The Night of the Hunter role almost didn't happen – the show had been cast for its NYMF run and had even started rehearsals, but halfway through the rehearsal
process its youngest star departed the production and Sonenclar stepped in.
A role in Broadway's Les Misérables followed. Cameron Mackintosh, the lauded producer who brought Les Misérables to Broadway, described the process for casting for Young Cosette in a 2006 New York Times interview. He grew teary relating Sonenclar's audition: "She was vulnerable," said Mackintosh. "You felt this was a girl that was abused, and that is the situation she is in."
She was cast as an alternate for both Young Cosette and Young Eponine, understudying the supporting role of Gavroche, the street boy. "I never did go on as Gavroche," she says, but she impressed as Young Cosette and would go on to reprise the role in the 2008 tour of Les Mis.
Sonenclar was then offered the role of Carrie, the second youngest member of the famed Ingalls family, in Little House on the Prairie in 2009. The touring show was also home to some other notable faces: in addition to then 10-year-old Sonenclar, it featured Kara Lindsay, now starring in Newsies on Broadway as Laura; Jenn Gambatese, who will next appear in The Lyric Opera of Chicago's starry Oklahoma! as Mary; and Melissa Gilbert, best known for playing Laura Ingalls in the 1970s Little House TV series, as Ma. "We all got really close," Sonenclar says. "We keep in touch – I just talked to Kara. Melissa lives in LA, and I'm in LA now, so it's been great. Melissa came with her son to see The X Factor the other day."
In 2010, Sonenclar landed a starring part in Frank Wildhorn's new venture, Wonderland, a musical based on the world of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. The show, which featured Sonenclar in a lead role as Chloe – daughter to Janet Dacal's Alice – received a lukewarm reception but still made its Broadway debut in 2011. "Things were changing constantly, right up until opening, so it seemed like maybe they weren't that confident in it," she admits, "But I don't think any of us thought that it would close so soon." Though Wonderland did close after just 33 regular performances, its cast recording was released that May.
Following Wonderland, Sonenclar spent her time in New York volunteering for the Starlight Children's Foundation, which offers outpatient, hospital-based and Web offerings to brighten the lives of young patients. "I'm an ambassador for the foundation," Sonenclar says. "I'd go and I'd talk with the kids and sing for them." Carly and Friends ran on KidZone closed circuit television in Mt. Sanai and featured Carly singing, sometimes with guests (Spider-Man's Rebecca Faulkenberry and Archie Comics' Nancy Silberkleit have joined Carly in past shows). "What's great about the Starlight Foundation is that they offer support for the families, too," Sonenclar says. "So you get to help the families and the kids."
Then, of course, came The X Factor. This fall, Carly Rose took the show by storm, easily making the top ten and placing an impressive second in overall votes not once, but twice. Of her most recent performance, "My Heart Will Go On," X Factor judge Simon Cowell joked that he didn't believe she could be human. "I don't believe you are a human being," he said. "You can't do that at 13. You can't." The top 10 perform tonight, singing songs to people they're thankful for (Carly chose "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" for her brother, Russell). Tune in at 8/7c to see the performance!
The X Factor airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8pm on FOX.

On leave for Thanksgiving, the last thing marine lieutenant Talia Barnett expects to find is Liam Brodie waiting for her at the airport. He's had a starring role in her fantasies for the past two years, and although she'd love to make them a reality, she has a dark secret that prevents her from taking things further.
A former marine, Liam's specialty is planning tactical operations, and that's just what he plans to do to win Talia. The woman has kept him at arm's length for too long, and this time he's finally going to claim her - body and heart.

Though she desires him, she's going back on deployment and doesn't want to dump all her drama on him. Will he find a way to break through the protective walls around her heart and convince her they have a future that goes far beyond the bedroom?

I enjoy historical, paranormal, and contemporary romance. Also steampunk, sci-fi, fantasy, suspense, and fiction. I'm open to about anything
"Lots of angst"
I wasn't particularly fond of the lead female character, nor all her angst. I did like the male character and his being supportive, but the girl just didn't seem to be able to appreciate it. You know, there still could have been a plot without all the angst.
"Good Book but SLOW Down"
I enjoyed the book and the story but the narrator was too fast.
She read way too fast! It was very hard to enjoy the story itself when she just never slowed down.
Well, sad to say that my husband couldn't handle my inner bad girl. He did something very stupid, and we are no longer together.
"I have found a new author to read"
It ranks up at the top
The way that he moved in and took care of her. Sometime you just need someone to take over and move you out of the way.
The bathroom scene. I got goose bumps.
I need more books written by Callie Croix, and narrated by Natasha Vincent.
Say something about yourself!
"Not a bad read, not erotica"
I would call this more romance novel than erotica. It was good as that though, I don't think I'd have liked it better if it was less romance-y though. I'd also have like to have seen more of the dom/sub than was there. It was just hinted at, not prevalent as other books related to this one have been.
To relax I listen to my books. It's like yoga but better, you don't have to bend your body!!
"Not the best"
I have and it was ok but don't waste credits or money.
Don't know.
Don't have a clue. Just know I didn't like the book.
The story was okay and it held my interest. I'm all for a hot steamy love scene but not this kind. Back door knocking just doesn't do it for me. Sorry!
"Good read but not what I wold call erotica"
This was a good short story. I love a dominant man, and this lead was very dominant. I would recommend it for any one who is not looking for instense erotic scenes but a good love story.

This bike was handed down to me as a child. I rode it everywhere though its not the height of fashion for anything current. I didn't care as I love it very much. I just wish I had more info on it. It still has the tires I got it with and with a little air you can still ride it around. It says on the front plate B.F. Goodrich Challenger but on the chain guard it says B.F. Goodrich Vanguard II. So I am confused as to which model it is. The fenders still shine as does most of its chrome. The seat is worn but still all there. I took good care of it and just would like to know more about it. The paint is starting to fade off but its the original colors. I included what stamping I could find on it if anyone else has info to run it against. I've looked for years on the internet to no avail. Thanks for looking.

Duke likely to take on emergency starter role
JUPITER, Fla. -- If Chris Young is, indeed, out of the picture, the Nationals will likely turn their attention to a hurler currently in their clubhouse to be the sixth starter, if ever needed.
In fact, lefty Zach Duke happened to be standing close when manager Davey Johnson was asked Tuesday who might fill that role.
"He just walked by, probably," Johnson said.
Duke figures to be the long man out of the Washington bullpen this season, and perhaps the team's only lefty in the bullpen. It could be a similar scenario to Tom Gorzelanny's last year, a lefty long man (though not the only southpaw in the bullpen) who could be used to spot-start.
Of Duke's 189 career appearances (eight with the Nationals), 168 have been starts. He's appeared in seven games this spring, with a 5.40 ERA.
"Zach's still learning how to pitch out of the 'pen," Johnson said. "He's been a starter his whole life. I thought he did a good job last year coming in. But it'll be a learning experience for me and him, and how much he can do coming out of there, since he's the only one out there."
Johnson said he wouldn't consider the durable Craig Stammen an option, though Stammen logged 88 1/3 innings last season and has proven he can handle lengthier stints.
Young, signed to a Minor League contract late in Spring Training with an invitation to big league camp, was granted his unconditional release on Tuesday. He had made it clear throughout that he enjoyed being with the Nationals organization, but if a Major League opportunity came through, he'd take it.
"Obviously, if he gets a big league starting job, he's gone," Johnson said. "So I think that's all up to him. He'd be awfully good insurance."

I have taken a New project for SEO. It is E-Commerce website which sells mobile phones. It is a completely new site.All its keywords now are out of 500. I want to ask that how much time will it take in SEO for my keywords to start coming in ranking?Your suggestions would be really appreciated...
It all depends on Keywords you take.is it what you take are HIgh, medium or low competition or have you taken keywords either with high search volume or low volume.If you are starting a new seo campaign, always remember to take keywords with medium competition and search volume in order to get ranking to such keywords quickly.And, never target all keywords simultaneously as it may also lead to more time spent in getting keywords to the top.
Agree with SEOexp here, it depends very much on the competitiveness of the keyword you choose, regardless of the search volume. Some keywords can have 200-300 searches per month but if it's very targeted and buyers keyword, then it can still be competitive.Your domain age has a lot to do with how fast you can build your backlinks as well. Buy aged domain that's in your niche and have a look at their backlink profiles before you buy. If someone has spammed the heck out of the domain before they let it go expired, it's usually not worth to buy.
I really appreciate your suggestions. According to you, should I work on inner page keywords before or start targeting home page keywords as home page keywords have more competition. and it will take time to come up.
You should build more authority to your homepage (using high PR backlinks pointing to your homepage with 80-90% generic / branding / raw url anchor texts + 10% target keyword anchor text), + social profiles (200-300 profiles) + high PR blog commenting on relevant sites + press release service (make sure to post on the paid ones as they have higher authority and also it's a source of visitors given that your press release is attention grabbing and newsworthy).
For the inner pages, build some backlinks to them using web20's, socialbookmarks, social sharing should be enough given that you do the above , and that the competition is medium.
hope that helps!
Its all depends on keywords you are selecting. I suggest you to start with long trail keywords, they are easy to rank
It'll depends on sites on page accuracy. If sites on page is perfect then hopefully your keyword gain rank very fast. If not then Google never indexed and ranked. Check your site care fully.
First you need to get some back links to this site on these keywords
Secondly I don't recommend to stuff plenty of keywords which would affect negatively on SEO
I hope that I helped you,
For Your Success
It may depend about your techniques and your work. But if you do well than your sites keywords ranking will come in 3 to 4 months approximately.
I wish you to go with long tail keywords which will be easily to optimize if you want to rank for short keywords make sure to have less competition and good searches.In case if you choosing heavy competition it will take more time to optimize and build some authority links between don't forget to engage with social media profiles
Thanks all , for your valuable suggestions and spending your time in resolving my query. I will surely keep all these things in my mind while working on my site and these things will really help me in getting my website ranking early.
