if you are wise, stay away from telewest, they bad news, the price is %300 what they claim it to be, the phone call prices are gigantic, the service is shite if you are serious about the interenst I had them on for two years and think it's the worst mistake I have made in my life.
it took me about £12 in phone calls just to tell them I don't want them no more!!
and it was only when I wrote to a solicitor to get them to understand that I did NOT want their service that they accepted the fact that we dont wish to be fooled into this big scam anymore.
In April this year we subscribed to Telewest and had the package of broadband, telephone and tv packages. Each month, however when the bill came in we could of died. It is not the amount due that was shocking us, but the month in advance for all services. Surely if you work out you are paying a constant month in advance each month, then you are essentially paying 24 months a year. What happens to this extra 12 months? Not only that, what Telewest fail to tell you in the contract or ever, is when you upgrade you again have to pay this month in advance AGAIN. Confusing, yes! During the time we have been with Telewest (since April) We have paid over £1200. This is including the connection fees. Our phone bills were not that much, about £25 per month, minus the £35 1mb for about three months. The rest goes to the tv packages. When i contacted them, after spending the usual 45mins in queues and automated systems, they advised me it was policy to charge an extra month. However my bill often shows 6 weeks in advance. They offered no explanation and could not even send me a copy of my contract, despite persistant phone calls. As you can see we have been well and truly stitched up. Those thinking that telewest seems a good offer, make sure you find out the not so little 'extras' they like to add onto your bill. Our phone has also been a nightmare. We had to change our number four times. Firstly they gave me a number which was rang persisantly by market reasearchers and insurance companies who got really rude and offensive, and began making hoax calls. Secondly, thirdly and finally we have been given numbers previously owned by fax machines so we were called throughout the night by these damn things. And would block the phone all day long, literally. We were offred no compensation and was advised if we wanted our number changed again we would have to pay, they soon backed down when we threatened to cut our services. Which we finally are :( No wonder Bt say everyon
e comes back to them. Advice for those with telewest, ring up and say you want to disconnect, they fall over themselves with discounts and money off your bill ;)
A Short history. Once upon a time I was a BT customer. I wanted a second line for internet access. They wanted £50 to install it. Telewest (Yorkshire Cable as it was then) wanted £9.99 if I transferred to them. Au ree-voir BT. Since that time I've added the cable TV which effectively gave me the line rental on line 2 for free. Then took Broadband, and finally hooked up with Talk Unlimited, a standard fee for all-you-can-talk 24/7 (mobiles excluded). Like a lot of plc's today, their customer service side is run on a shoestring. If you accept this (and you really shouldn't have to deal with them that often), the package is very good. I pay £54 per month for the basic TV deal including the internet and phone service. Broadband is the jewel in the crown, few problems (and then only minor and temporary) and high speed, good for downloads, videostreaming etc. If you live in a Telewest area, how come you aren't using it? ********** UPDATE ************* Point taken about the category, however the best value is achieved if you take out a package of products, rather than broadband in isolation. Before I took broadband, I was paying £19 per month for an extra phone line and unlimited 56k access. The broadband service was only another £6 a month more. As for connection speeds, the Blueyonder claim of 'nearly 10x faster' is accurate in my experience. And it's always on - no logging on, or broken connections. I've a fair experience of ISP's on 56k modems, and none of them approach broadband speeds. Maybe higher demand in areas of high uptake impact on connection speed. I can't complain.
I have been on the internet for over 5 yrs and have been with a lot of service providers. So when I heard about blueyonder and the hi-speed internet service i thought yes that is for me. I called and payed my money for install £50 and the first month up front and waited on installation.I couldnt wait to have a fast connections up to 10 to 15 times faster than my 56k. At first it was fine and there was no problems but as the months went on there was the odd hickup,the modem acting up and it seemed a bit slow at times but we put it down to teething problems. But over the last 2 months the word nightmare springs to mind sometimes all we have is a can't display page and we can't get on the net even though it shows the modem is on, basically the lights are on but no-one is at home. So i phone the help line the free phone number they provide that is know 24 hrs service and wait and wait and wait and some times wait some more,I must be the most patient person on the face of this earth one night i waited for 3 and a half hours but no one answered. I have called on a number of occasions over the last few months spending anything from 40 minutes to 3hrs 30min waiting for a reply. On one accasion being told you are in the wrong Q and i will transfer you,only to but put back in the wrong Q again, and on the 3rd time got thru to an operator only for her to take my details and then cut me off thinking common sense will provale as she had my details she will call me back. I waited and waited but no one called so again had to wait in a Q for someone else that day i spend 2hrs and 20 minutes on the phone. I have had a refund twice for the problems i am having as i can not rely on the connection. And if you send a email be prepare to wait on a reply because they say it is 24 hr but it is more like a week. And after writing all this i still have a open case with them.
i have had this service since december 2000 and to start with i was impressed. at the beginning i had a few days of no internet due to it just going dead for over 24 hrs on me, i was NOT happy. When it worked however it was unbelievable. FANTASTIC to be honest! However all good things come to an end. The last 2 month it has been appalling. takes a life time for connections. i timed a site earlier, www.spl-extra.com, and it took 10 seconds to load a page that was hardly full with huge graphics. thats just poor. I reckon it would be faster or at least as fast with 56k. If you are thinking of getting this service, i would probably say go for it, but dont expect a flying speed connection. Downloads are great, if you download alot you will do well with this service, 80k a sec usually on a good server. However its the downloading of webpages that suck badly recently. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Telewest offers a large amount of services from cable television to telephone lines. The best of all their services are in my opinion their relatively new unmetered internet service. Telwest is one of, maybe even the cheapest unmetered isp. At a small price of £10 a month subcribers can enjoy 24\7 free internet access. For anyone using a metered isp and paying more then £10 a month on call charges I think it is time you came into the unmetered world. So I suppose your thinking well you dont get this great deal for nothing I bet it is hard to connect and very slow net connections. Wrong, in all my time as a Telewest user their has not been one time I was unable to connect. Also i am enjoying connection speeds of 54,000 bps much faster then my older isp's. Now onto the enenvitable problems of Telewest. firstly the dail up software Telewest give you with their Cd in my opinion is terrible. It causes system crashes and takes up valuable system resources, a problem amplified for users with low ram. All of this hassle is for nothing, as all you need to do is find out the number you dial to and make a dail up connection to that number with your Telwest user name & password. Their homepage is nothing special but then thats not really important, the real problem is their web mail has been very slow and unresponsive for me and many of my e mails have just been lost. Customer service wise Telewest also prevail, their help line is charges a the local rate and the person on the other end normally knows what they are talking about and are more then happy to help. Problems are normally dealt with promply and effieciently however problems are very few and far between with Telewest. Telewests isp is also already a success so unlike other unmeters isps's you can be sure this service is going to be up for a long time yet. Broadband users can also enjoy an amazing deal of £25 a month for a broadband connection, definately the best
broadband deal in the UK. So if your currently on a more expensive or slow unmetered service or even if you are a heavy pay as you go net user Telewest is the ISP for you!
I have been a Telewest customer for over four years now for my telephone and T.V. I must admit, I've not had any problems with them. The only thing was, the salesman said we would save money on our phone bill, (WRONG). I decided to connect to the internet and after trying many ISP's and becomming more and more hooked, I looked around for the best deal. It was right on my doorstep. Telewest Surf Unlimited. For £10 per month you could surf the net 24 hours a day. As the phone bill had been growing by the hour I decided to give it a try. I'm really glad I did. Not only has it saved me ££'s, it has opened up the internet to everyone in my house. Their Technical Support is a freephone number, also a saving, some companies charge premium rate for their help. I have had a few problems with my e-mail retrieval and sometimes it takes a while to log on, but on the whole the service has been good and their Technical Support Team a god send. On the whole I have found Surf unlimted good value and on-par, with most other ISP'S.
I have two phone lines which makes it easier to use the net. Cableinet is good value for money, but can be slow at times. Netscape Navigator is the problem. If you connect to cableinet and use Internet Explorer your connection is faster. Very often it crashes and you have to reboot, but overall it is a very informative and good service provider. I have been with cableinet for a good few years now, but they did put the phone line price up a few months ago and I am quite peeved about that. I think at least if you have two phone lines you should not be penalised for this. After all you are making them more money and with all of it combined ie., Cable TV, phones and surfunlimited, they are gaining.
Having suffered three previous 0800 ISPs in the last year each of which fell apart after gross maltreatment of customers, I didn't expect a great deal from Telewest who didn't impress much in the past with analogue TV service. Surprise and delight..... Digital TV and ISP service now first rate for the price. Two ring telephone reponse -free- and a rock steady 45kbs average performance. Quick connection too. Unfortunately, cable services are not being rolled-out much nowadays, so if the cable runs past your door you are lucky.
Summary (for those who want to skip the detail) With blueyonder I'm getting reliable fast Internet access for not much more than it costs for 56K line rental. The support could be improved. Service is excellent, I've had 3 computers sharing the connection for over 3 months now with very little downtime. Any server problems they have had have been swiftly sorted and apologies posted in the Tech Support area of the web site. Intro Sadly my old ISP RedHotAnt closed down a while ago leaving me without 24/7 unmetered net access. Having looked at the options I signed up for blueyonders high speed access a few months ago and have found the speed improvment tramendeous. Cost At first I thought it was a bit too expensive and looked into the costs of the alternatives. I use the Internet a fair bit and my partner works night shifts so uses it during the day so 24 hour access was needed. We also didn't want to use the home phone line for the Internet. So basically we wanted 24/7 Internet connection on a line of it's own. There are other companies similiar to red hot ant that offer 24/7 access for a year - but the one I checked (connect24 if I remember correctly) didn't fill me with confidence when I asked how they planned to support the free phone numbers. I decided not to risk £100 on a company I knew very little about. BT's surf time costs around £20 per month on top of a further £10 for line rental. Blueyonders surf unlimited was £9 for the extra phone line £10 for the net time. We also had to make up £10 in normal non-net calls - which with most our friends having cable phones and us getting free calls to them off-peak we'd never do). N.B. Having just checked back on ther site they seem to have dropped the £10 of normal calls now as far as I can tell. Blue yonder costs £50 setup (one off payment then £33 a month or £25
a month if you have other telewest services (like cable TV)) Improvments BlueYonder could make to their service. 1) It's possible to share the connection over a LAN - why not provide some advice on how to do this (even if it is an "at your own risk" type guide)? 2) With a pernament connection to the Internet a firewall is a good idea. Firewalls are mentioned in passing on the website. However it would be useful if some advice was given on obtaining firewall software and setting it up. Better yet, make the engineer that plugs in the cable modem earn the £50 connection fee for his 5 minutes work by installing a firewall and providing some basic training on how to use it! 3) It would have been nice if when I went into the Telewest store to ask about BlueYonder the staff had known about it! Finally If you do decide to sign up and don't know anyone else already on Blueyonder e-mail me and you can get £25 knocked of your installment charge and I'd get a months free access :)
After deciding that spending £20 to £30 a month on calls to Virgin.net was too much and that as a Telewest customer I could get blueyonder access for just £10 a month I thought I was on to a good thing. Alas my 56k V90 modem appears to be only compatible with blueyonder systems at 33.6k (if I'm lucky!), and after asking tech support (once I'd got through the 25 minute wait) I was told that it is very rare for a 56k modem to be able to reach speeds higher than around 33.6 ... strange, I've been getting 46k to 52k consistently with Virgin.net and BTClick. After explaining this the engineer decided that I must have a modem that is compatible with equipment being run by Virgin and BT but not with blueyonder, and that I was expecting too much from them. I'm now looking for a flat rate ISP who can offer access at V90 speeds and not the old 33.6 system, for around £10 - £15 a month, but there don't appear to be any unless I switch to BT ... yet another excuse for dumping Telewest and going back to old faithful.
Having read some of the moans about Telewest's Blueyonder ISP I feel I must balance the picture. Not that I'm a fan of Telewest particularly (I've had trouble with them before with my cable phone and TV), but there is a great service offered through Telewest that I think should be promoted. SurfUnlimited is the tariff package offered through Blueyonder (or Cableinet as it used to be) that for a flat fee of £10 a month gives you unlimited surftime on and off peak with no call charges. Last month alone this saved me £70 on my phone bill. The deal is supposed to be that you have to spend £10 on other calls (i.e. non-internet) but I've spent less than this before and not been charged for the internet calls. (Whether this was an admin error I don't know). Of course being cable you have to have a Telewest phone line to get this service, but that's not such a dire thing. With Telewest you get free calls to other Telewest customers (off peak), plus if you take both the telephone and TV package your standing charge for the phone line is absorbed into the cost of the cable TV. I rarely spend more than £40 a month on digital TV, phone and internet time combined. Now bear in mind that I spend approx 3-5 hours on the 'net *every day*. I don't think it's excessive. In answer to the complaints about the connection, I've never had a problem. I get connected first time, every time. Yes, I occasionally get disconnected, but that happens with all phone modems. And considering the amount of time I spend on the net I get disconnected perhaps once a week (out of around 30 hours online time per week that's not bad). The customer service I've had from Blueyonder (not Telewest) has always been good. Blueyonder operate the technical support and once you find their phone number (Telewest never seem to know they exist), the tech support people are knowledgeable and friendly.
Other benefits of Blueyonder include 30Mb free webspace to each member (no hosting though so you can't put your own domain name on there) and up to 15 e-mail addresses. The Blueyonder website doesn't offer a lot however. It's tricky to navigate with a lot of links obviously waiting to be made live. It's lacking information in general, and especially on building your first website, so it's probably better for more experience users rather than the complete beginner. These minor problems aside, if you're in Telewest's catchment area (the South East) and you use the net a lot, I'd definitely recommend getting SurfUnlimited from Blueyonder. It'll save you a lot of money from day one.
As I was already tied in to Telewest with the Cable TV and my potential BT connection is an ancient overhead line I signed up for Surftime. Apart from the initial problems of a very noisy line one of the most annoying things is if you complain by email you are totally ignored. Complaining by snail mail is the only way of getting a response. They have their email servers configured so that third parties, spammers & the like, can use their email service. No problem you may think but some ISP's reject mail sent from other ISP's with this sort of security risk. They do this to protect their users from unwanted spam but it would appear that Bluyonder just does not care. What do I like about the service - it has halved my monthly phone bill
As we are with telewest for our cable an phone service, we recieved a telephone call from telewests sales department enquiring if we wanted unlimited surf time for a tenner a month. We jumped at it. We were told it would take about 4 weeks to get the cd out to us. About 3 months later and about 100 calls later we recieved the cd. After a few teething problems, hey presto, it is fine. The e-mail address they give you is extremely long and a pain in the back side, but, we kept our freeserve e-mail so we were not to fussed. For the past 3 months it seems to have speeded up. It does tend to slow down at about 4pm (I suspect when school kids get home and log on)..and even slower at 6pm. The customer service is as good as the phone and cable customer service. Poor beyond belief. Luckily the other half knows enough about the computer to tackle most problems himself. Usually first time connection. Every 20 minutes or so it prompts you to 'stay connected' or 'disconnect now' or 'auto disconnect'. Just key 'stay connected' and it does just that. But you do have to look out for the flashing prompt which is sometimes difficult if you are engrossed in the dooyoo chat room or writing an opinion. For the £10.00 a month cost, I really cannot complain. I just wonder how long it will last. I hate telewest with a passion for their cable and phone service, but I cannot as yet, fault them for the internet service. APART from the customer service side.
This is how it is with telewest. If you suspect that you will be able to get, install, connect and use the service then the chances are that any review you write about it would be a 100% recommend to a friend. If on the other hand you could foresee any type of problem creeping up say like you have had trouble with your computer before then there is only one thing to do: DON'T BOTHER! Telewest no matter what you pay them for be it TV, Internet or phone have probably the most difficult and annoying customer service set-up. If you do ever get through you struggle to get any action taken. If you do manage to get it done it is very rarely done quickly. Don't get me wrong the Internet connection itself I would praise 200%, as I have had no problems whatsoever. Connects first time (sometimes little problems after 18:00hrs with all of the off-peakers lumping on), speed is good, stays connected, unlimited access,and all this for what equates to £29.00 a month (£10 for service, £10 calls, £9 line rental) if you start from a fresh.

I'm working on some cheap homemade wide loaders for the Sun made from parts available at Lowe's. I'll post details this week for anyone interested.
My main beef with Sun is not that the bike is inherently flawed. It's that you have a 50/50 chance of getting a good unit when you special order the bike. Hit or miss from a quality control standpoint if you're detail oriented and picky about pretty welds and paint.
*note, this is my take. I am not criticizing any previous posts*
Sounds to me like the Sun is a great bike given that one is not expecting premium quality at a discount price. At that price, something has to give. A compromise in "beauty of craftsmanship" seems entirely fair as long as it is still structurally sound. I'm glad they build and sell a bike like this.
If you want high quality, you're going to have to pay for it. Nothing wrong with that.
You're right in large part in my opinion. My beef is partly with low quality and maybe more with inconsistent quality. I looked at the cheapo bikes at Wally World the other day, and on the whole the $100-200 bikes found there have prettier welds and better paint than my $600 Sun Atlas Cargo. Realizing that the Sun is not a $1500 bike, it's still disappointing that the fit and finish is in many ways inferior to a bike that cost less than half the price sold at a discount store.
Of the three SACs I've had, they rank:
1. Nice looking welds that were structurally sound.
2. Rough looking welds that in my opinion not only looked bad but were poorly executed from a functional standpoint.
3. Rough looking welds that are better than #2 and probably are at the minimum acceptable level from a functional standpoint.
2 out of 3 of my bikes have had functional welds, one had pretty functional welds, and one had ugly welds of dubious functional value. Very hit or miss, and I recommend that anyone who buys a SAC lay eyes on it before plunking down cash. If you're satisfied with what you see after you give it a thorough once over, by all means buy one.
Here are a couple pics of the subpar (in my opinion) welds on bike #2. Hard to show them in pics without a macro lens. A lot of places on the bike were similar. Overpenetrated, underpenetrated, insufficient bead, etc. They looked worse in person. In the second photo, the bead is incomplete and there is actually a pinhole burned through the base metal tubing to the left of the rust spot where the bead is incomplete. Makes one wonder what more of the welds looked like under the paint. Speaking of paint, bike #3 has a lot of fisheye in it. Again, the average bike at Wally World has nicer paint quality. Today I noticed that the Sun badge on the head tube is peeling off already, and I've ridden the bike twice. Not the end of the world, but still.
Did you have to drill or modify the rack to get a Yepp to work, or was it a plug-and-play installation? The main reason I would get this bike is being able to simultaniously haul children and cargo.
I'm looking pretty hard at getting a Sun for reasons of budget, I'm not too concerned with aesthetics. Has anything changed in quality recently? Any bugs that I should be looking out for?
I know that this bike is a one size fits most. I'm 6'3", wife is 5'6". Will this work for both of us?
Check out the welds on the bike and especially on the rear part of the bike where the rack and wide loaders insert into the bike frame. I have seen one bike with awful welds in this area.
You can easily haul kids and cargo. I'm working on some homemade wide loaders made with material you can get at Home Depot or Lowes. I'll post details when I get it done. I meant to have it done by now but have been to busy to get around to it. Cheap and easy.
That's a big height difference. I can't give you guidance on that one. Bike sizing is all theoretical until you actually sit on it and see what works, I've found. I'm 5'10" and my wife is 5'7" and the bike is fine. 6'3" would probably work but might be pushing the upper boundary of what would.
If you need pics or measurements of anything specific, let me know.
Thanks for the information and the photos, both have been a tremendous help. I think we'll pull the trigger on the Sun sometime this fall, I'll let you know how the height difference works out.
I finally got around to finishing my homemade wideloaders today and have posted a thread on the subject for those interested.

All over the world, people know the benefits that can be achieved using Reflexology as a part of their lives.
Long known in Eastern cultures, the "Western" world has slowly begun to see therapeutic benefits of many "Eastern" traditions for balanced health.
Having been watching this rise, I have followed many online news articles and research being published.
Along with a Big push from Oprah's "Dr. Oz", Reflexology, Reiki, and many "Energy Therapies" have been getting a second look. "Western Medicine" isn't quick to budge, however, with help from the people who have actually experienced these therapies with a Qualified Therapist, more and more people in Western societies are jumping off the fence, and welcoming therapies such as Reflexology, whole-heartedly, into their health regimes.
Let others know how great it is to treat your feet!!!

CHESTER, Pa. -- There was certainly no lack of excitement.
Sunday's Mother's Day matinee at PPL Park featured five goals, a controversial red card, and 21 scoring chances for Philadelphia.
But the 10-man Union came up just short in a 3-2 loss to the rival New York Red Bulls.
"It's frustrating," said forward Danny Mwanga, who started his third game of the season. "We had a lot of chances. We got one goal in the first half and another in the second half. We were winning 2-1 even down a man. At that point maybe we could have been smarter and tried to manage the game better. At the end of day, it's frustrating losing a game like that."
Philadelphia managed six shots on goal and earned 11 corner kicks on the day. New York scored three goals with just four shots on target and one corner kick.
Even after Freddy Adu's first half red card -- a second yellow for simulation -- the Union still controlled the run of play. Philadelphia took the lead in the 46th minute and had 10 second-half scoring chances.
"It didn't really make a difference for us," Keon Daniel said of the red card decision. "The guys know they have to come out and step it up a bit. We did that and we got chances. We just didn't finish them. That's the way football goes sometimes. We hit the target but we didn't get the result we wanted."
The highlight of the day was striker Lionard Pajoy's brace. Pajoy scored his second and third goals of the season -- not counting his goal Wednesday vs. Schalke 04 -- and broke a personal scoreless streak dating back to the March 18 game against Colorado.
"It's confidence, just seeing the ball hitting the back of the net," Daniel said of Pajoy. "Just seeing that happen builds your confidence and suggests that there's better to come."
Sunday's match was the first multi-goal game for the Union in 2012.
It was also just the second time this season in which Philadelphia used a starting formation with two outright strikers. Mwanga paired Pajoy in front of midfielders Gabriel Gomez, Brian Carroll, Daniel and Adu.
"(Having two strikers) makes life easier, not just for me, but for everyone else attacking," said Mwanga. "I was trying to be in the center of the pitch and trying to occupy the two center backs. That gives Lio and Freddy the free space to go one on one, and they had shots on goal. Whenever you have more offensive players on the field it helps you create more chances. We can attack -- we can definitely create chances."
On Sunday, the Union were simply a couple of conversions short.
HIGHLIGHTS: Red Bulls 3, Union 2

Bill of Rights Day–1941
As part of my research on FDR and the Bill of Rights, I came across a Proclamation that he issued on the 150th Anniversary of the ratification of the first ten amendments (about two weeks before Pearl Harbor). Here are some excerpts:
"It is fitting that the anniversary of its adoption should be remembered by the Nation which, for one hundred and fifty years, has enjoyed the immeasurable privileges which that charter guaranteed: the privileges of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition the Government for redress of grievances." [Note that FDR only quoted from the First Amendment]
"It is especially fitting that this anniversary should be remembered and observed by those institutions of a democratic people which owe their very existence to the guarantees of the Bill of Rights: the free schools, the free churches, the labor unions, the religious and educational and civic organizations of all kinds, which, without the guarantee of the Bill of Rights, could never have existed; which sicken and disappear whenever, in any country, these rights are curtailed or withdrawn."
. . .
"Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men died to win them. They come in time to take these rights for granted and to assume their protection is assured. We, however, who have seen these privileges lost in other continents and other countries can now appreciate their meaning to those people who enjoyed them once and now no longer can. We understand in some measure what their loss can mean. And by that realization we have come to a clearer conception of their worth to us, and to a stronger and more unalterable determination that here in our land they shall not be lost or weakened or curtailed."

Oh, Sue, you must be a wildcat in the boudoir, because Reed sure isn't keeping you around for your contributions to his scientific pursuits.
It's not that there isn't oxygen in water, it's that our bodies can't process it. Did you grow a set of gills or something in between issues? If not, I'd say this is the perfect time to panic!

To be fair, she DOES hang out with Namor an awful lot. Maybe he's shown her a thing or two.

I bought a 10 inch Lodge cast iron skillet the other day and I've been trying to season it, but I can't really get a nice black patina. Based on some previous postings on chowhound, I first washed the inside with some soap and scrubbed a bit. I could tell that some of the preseasoning was being washed off and the iron was being exposed. I then started scouring the inside with 100 grit sandpaper. More iron was being exposed, but it wasn't completely bare. I washed the skillet again and heated it on the stovetop to dry. I then added a light layer of extra virgin olive oil and baked it upside down in a 550F oven for several hours. I've been adding new layers of oil and baking for a few hours for the last 2 days. I've probably add about 8 layers. It's still going.
I checked this morning and the surface is shiny and not sticky, but it's still kind of brown. Through the surface, I can still see the iron that I had previously exposed by scouring.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Field of 11 Entered For Wide-Open Illinois Derby
In what has to be the most wide-open race of the 3-year-old season, 11 horses from all across the country converge on Hawthorne Race Course for Saturday's $500,000 Illinois Derby (gr. II).
In what has to be the most wide-open race of the 3-year-old season, 11 horses from all across the country converge on Hawthorne Race Course for Saturday's $500,000 Illinois Derby (gr. II).
With plenty of down time left before the flood of Kentucky Derby (gr. I) preps begin on April 3, this is a good opportunity to continue looking for new angles, new faces, and a new perspective on the Derby picture.
Ten additional 3-year-olds were nominated to the $500,000 Illinois Derby (gr. II) before late nominations for the April 3 race at Hawthorne closed Friday, March 19.
Lloyd Madison Farms' favored Silver Minister drew away from the field to post an impressive victory over a strong group of invaders in the $100,000 John Battaglia Memorial for 3-year-olds Saturday, his fourth consecutive victory at Turfway Park.
Three East Coast-based colts are scheduled to tackle the local contingent of 3-year-olds Feb. 28 in the $100,000 John Battaglia Memorial Stakes--final local prep for the March 20 Lane's End Stakes (gr. II)--at Turfway Park.
Is there any possibility that the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner can come out of the Miracle Wood, Baldwin Stakes (gr. IIIT), Southwest Stakes, John Battaglia Memorial or Borderland Derby? Not likely, but that doesn't mean there won't be any potential Derby contenders competing this weekend.
Michael Gill's White Mountain Boy won a three way thriller in the $75,000 Goss L. Stryker Stakes for Maryland-bred sophomores Saturday at Laurel Park.
So, Godolphin, which has been intent on winning the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) the past several years, has decided not to nominate a single horse this year. For a stable that focused each year on the first Saturday in May, this is a perplexing turn of events. Or is it?
White Mountain Boy got away to the lead and was never challenged in Wednesday's $100,000 Maryland Juvenile Championship at Laurel Park, winning easily by six lengths.
The 2003 racing season ends at Laurel Park on Wednesday with a pair of $100,000 stakes races for Maryland-bred juveniles.

I just received my free samples from EpiTea, and I had to go straight for this one — it seems to be one of their more well-liked teas on Steepster, and I'm a nut for anything floral even though I'm not much of a bergamot person.
In the sachet, this seems like a pretty typical tea. There's not a huge number of lavender buds, but they're visible and I can smell the lavender as well. The dominating scent, however, is something I can't place… it doesn't smell like tea or bergamot, so the only other thing I can think of is it being the sachet itself. In any case, the liquor itself has exactly the scent I would expect (it smells like, well, the ingredients, although it's not very strong) so I can't complain.
Tasting it… this is nice! The initial flavor is lavender, which I appreciate and am mildly impressed by considering the lavender-to-black tea ratio. The second half of the sip tastes more of the base, a black that's very strong and spicy — the aftertaste actually leaves the same burning feeling in the back of my throat that I usually only get from spicy food. (Disclaimer: I am very sensitive to spicy food) That's not to say that I dislike it, but I would have preferred a more delicate base.
Oh, right… this is an earl grey! I never would have guessed or noticed if I hadn't been told; I can't taste even a bit of bergamot. That's fine by me, although now I'm curious as to what it would be like if EpiTea had gone for a less flavorful base and a greater amount of bergamot.
Overall, I'm digging the lavender content of this tea even though the black tea that was selected could have been better for me! It's a solid offering from this new company.

Filling The Employment Void
Hiring practices for both in-house facilities operations and building service contractors (BSCs) is a critical business area for successful operation of a department.
Hiring practices is a broad topic, but a successful hiring program should have the following four elements:
- Recruiting
- Applications and interviewing
- Onboarding and initial training
- Ongoing training.
Recruiting needs to be an ongoing process for every facility type and business model.
All too often, management determines a "need" and then goes into "hiring mode," which is a mistake.
An ongoing recruitment strategy is essential for maintaining a topflight frontline workforce and for top grading an existing workforce when management deems necessary, rather than from a position of need.
Effective strategies for recruiting are many.
Some firms run ads continually either with paid job boards, in newspapers or on free job posting sites.
Other companies find effective recruitment methods through current employees and contacts and incentivize those programs to motivate those influencers to refer top quality candidates.
Incentives are usually based around an actual hire and subsequent onboarding and tenure goals.
For instance, management may pay an incentive bonus to an employee only after a candidate has been hired, trained, onboarded and has worked successfully with high evaluations for a period of 90 days.
Second Element: Applications And Interviewing
Receiving and reviewing applications can be a chore for hiring managers.
In the current economic environment, even entry-level open positions generate substantial response.
It is important to have sufficient resources — such as a dedicated human resources (HR) department — to sort those applicants with input from management.
Interviews can then be conducted with those applicants who have been chosen to move forward in the process.
One note: Successful companies look at more than just the résumé and have methods for sorting candidates based on attitudes.
The attitudes or outlook of the applicants is likely the single most important factor in successful hiring and retention of a frontline custodial workforce.
Do you want workers that take pride in their work?
If so, you need a method to identify that attitude, among others, during the application screening process.
The bottom line here is that successful operations hire for attitude and then teach and coach to the skills necessary for job performance.
When interviewing, make certain you''re following all applicable laws and best practices — both state and federal.
The interview is an opportune time to further explore attitudes you''re seeking from your frontline custodial workforce, not just ask questions about technical competence.
According to HR firm Scheig Associates, a three-part test will be a good indicator for desired behaviors and the willingness of the applicant to happily perform specific duties.
Mark Tinney, president of Scheig Associates, says, "Interviews fall prey to that autopilot nodding syndrome: ''Oh yes, I''ll do that. I love doing that. I love vomit, and I''ll clean it up until the cows come home.''"
Many interviewees express these types of responses, but will they perform well if hired?
Instead of a typical interview format, Scheig has developed testing to evaluate technical proficiencies, willingness to perform tasks, behavioral ratings based upon other top-performing custodial workers and multiple choice situational questions.
All of these help ascertain if the applicant has the desired attitudes to perform the job duties at a high level.
Third Element: Onboarding And Initial Training
Once the ideal future employee is identified and the offer is made/accepted, management must have in place a plan for orientation and training.
New employee orientation should be geared towards introducing the new hire to the policies and procedures of the firm, but also to the culture and mission.
It is important to know you''re required to clock in and clock out each day, but it is equally vital to stress the company-specific culture, mission and goals.
Orientation should also address any specific benefits and incentive programs.
Plant the seed early that top performance is rewarded and what those rewards entail.
At the minimum, initial training should consist of safety training — the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration''s (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogen (BBP) Standard and Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), etc. — and site-specific and duty-specific training.
All training may be conducted in a classroom setting or on the worksite as applicable to the specific training.
Employees should sign acknowledgement of training and supervisors and trainers should evaluate proficiency in key areas.
One strategy involves a pre-training evaluation, followed by another evaluation on the subject matter after training.
This method can be a good motivator for new employees, as they quickly see their proficiency in the subject matter increase, which is reflected in their scores and evaluations.
Initial training should not attempt to cover every possible topic or cross training on various positions.
Keep the training simple and streamlined for early success with your new hires.
Fourth Element: Ongoing Training
Once your new hire has completed the initial training and orientation, it is important to offer ongoing training.
Areas for ongoing training should be those critical to the success of both the employee and the employer.
Safety training, simple equipment preventative maintenance, equipment repair protocols, information routing, planning, checklists and reporting are all segments for possible ongoing training.
Basically, a successful custodial operation should constantly train on material important to their success and that of the employee.
Cross training for other positions can be introduced as your new employees become a bit more seasoned and show a high level of proficiency.
Management can set performance benchmarks for determining when to begin cross training for added responsibility and greater compensation.
Share those benchmarks with the employees to motivate them to the levels you desire they achieve.
Hiring practices by in-house custodial operations and BSCs that incorporate these principals will lead to better decisions in hiring, more effective interviewing, onboarding and training.
But, more importantly, best practices in hiring will help reduce turnover and improve the atmosphere and motivation levels among your frontline custodial staffs.

Thirteen years. Thirteen All-NBA seasons. Four championships. Three Finals MVPs. Two league MVPs. One team. One city. The numbers tell us this much about Tim Duncan: Nobody has ever done it quite like him. What don't we know about the greatest power forward of all-time? Everything else. In Dime #59, I sought to find the rest of the story.
*** *** ***
Pain becomes art. Novelists, rappers, painters, singers … the suffering of one has long birthed testimonies that resonate with millions. The ones who are really good at it, who turn pain into production into profit, go on to become living legends, and then, icons in immortality.
Is basketball an art? Or is it just a game? Are the stakes of winning and losing at the professional level too high to allow for artistry? Does one become a better basketball player through suffering, struggle and pain?
These are the kinds of questions I want to ask Tim Duncan.
And maybe he'd have great answers. Or maybe — because he's been blessed with 6 feet and 11 inches of height, 260 pounds of lean muscle, and the footwork and body control of a dancer, or because he won the first of his four NBA championships in just his second year in the League, or because it all seems so easy for him — Duncan will reveal that he doesn't really know suffering and struggle in his chosen sport.
But I haven't asked those questions, because Tim Duncan is perpetually unavailable. Not that he's hard to find: His work schedule is posted for public view and readily accessible to fantasy owners, gamblers and stalkers alike. Rather, Duncan makes himself unavailable for voluntary probing into his mind. One rule of interviewing is that you want your subject warmed-up and loose before throwing your deep, thought-provoking darts — but Duncan rarely leaves the comforts of frigidity. The most successful "thinking-man's" ballplayer of his era has spent the better part of 13 years in the public eye keeping his life a closed book.
"He didn't really say much to me when I was a rookie," recalls Tony Parker, the San Antonio Spurs point guard who has since won three championships with Duncan and formed arguably the League's best point guard/big man tandem. "Tim is a quiet guy most of the time, but after you get to know him he's a great guy and a great teammate. He's a great leader."
And yet, from a media standpoint, Duncan might be the most difficult player in the NBA. Nowhere near the unnamed disrespectful, mean-spirited, miserable athletes that sportswriters share barstool stories about, Duncan really is a nice guy. He has been the face of the NBA's signature squeaky-clean franchise for more than a decade. The quintessential All-World Nice Guy, Hall of Fame center David Robinson, will stick up for his former teammate any day.
But he's tough. And because Duncan is so tough to figure out — treating interviewers to the same poker face with which he's played each of his 1,100-plus pro games — and because there's no flexing after dunks and no trace of playground in his style, he's earned the scarlet letter in athlete marketing and media hype: Boring.
"That's garbage," says Robinson. "He does have a personality. But he's no-nonsense. You know what he has? He has a dogged determination, and the team has taken that on. But it's a low-key kind of determination, where you don't talk about it, you just go do it. Tim prepares himself for the season physically and emotionally, and I think all the other guys know they've got to be as prepared as him."
Somewhere along the way, in trying to solve the Duncan puzzle for this story, I figured out this much: Tim Duncan is not boring. He just isn't interested in being interesting.
"What would I do if I weren't playing basketball?" Duncan repeats a reporter's question during a media scrum at All-Star Weekend. He sighs. He may have heard this question 30 times before. He's not intrigued. "I don't even know what I'd be doing."
After some light-hearted prodding by another reporter, Duncan finally admits: "I would not be a reporter."
Over the years, I've pined for Duncan to appear on a Dime cover. Before the conversation got too far, the b-word would surface and things went downhill from there. Beyond the question of whether TD would sell the front page, could I create a story about him that wouldn't put readers to sleep? I still don't know. (Let me know if you stay awake.)
The challenge would be getting something good from a Duncan interview. I'd run into him at All-Star Weekends, at New York Knicks games, at adidas events, but never in a setting for a proper sit-down, soul-searching attempt. At Knicks games, during the pre-game media time, Duncan was always cloaked in the no-fly zone of the trainer's room. One of those times I approached a Spurs media relations employee and pitched one of my great ideas for a Duncan cover story: I wanted Duncan, who has a Psychology degree from Wake Forest University, to break down the psychological mindset of different types of athletes. The champion. The leader. The follower. The loser. Would I be able to get 20 minutes on the phone with Duncan?
The man practically laughed in my face. "Tim hasn't done a 20-minute phone interview in 12 years."
*** *** ***
Duncan should be more famous than he is. He is one of the standard-bearers of the NBA. In the recognized post-Jordan era of 1998 (MJ's Chicago retirement) until now, Duncan's rivals can be counted on one finger; maybe two. He has been the anchor of four NBA championship teams in San Antonio, winning three Finals MVPs, two league MVPs, 12 All-Star nods, and 13 All-NBA and All-Defensive Team honors. He has averaged 21.1 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.3 blocks for his career, ranking in the top seven all-time in each category in the playoffs.
While Kobe has been through ups and downs from Lottery seasons to off-court drama, and Shaq has gained and lost dozens of pounds while playing on a handful of teams and burning bridges in his wake, Duncan is the model of consistency. Every year it's the same thing: Same team, same 50-plus wins, same championship threat, same 20-and-10-and-2. Only death is more dependable, because some people skip out on their taxes. But no opponent can avoid Tim Duncan.
"He's just so patient. He never rushes," says Orlando's Dwight Howard, the best center in the League. "He takes what the defense gives him and he's always under control. That's one thing that as you get older in basketball, you start to learn. I guess it's just like with life: the older you get in life, the wiser and stronger you become. And that's why he's the best power forward to ever play the game."
"He's timeless. He's like a fine wine," says Chicago Bulls' All-Star power forward Carlos Boozer. "Honestly, he's one of those guys that as he gets older, he gets better. More efficient, almost like less energy, but still the same efficiency. Guaranteed 20 and 10."
As our athletes get quicker, faster and more athletic, Duncan is the tortoise from the old fable. He's like Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th, catching sprinters from behind and taking them out while he's walking with the same ol' slow bop.
"Am I a better player than I was five years ago?" Duncan repeats the question. (He does that often.) "I'm a different player. Am I better? I don't know. I'd argue with myself.
"You always try to stand pat with the things you're comfortable with, and improve the things you're not," he says. "I'm probably a better shooter than I was five years ago. But then, I'm not as athletic as I was five years ago. So where do you draw the line? What do you compare? I don't know."
He's 34 years old now, and conventional wisdom says he doesn't have much time left to play at an elite level. Duncan's 17.9 points per game last season were a career-low, as were his 10.1 rebounds and 1.5 blocks. He still led the Spurs to the playoffs — the team has never seen the Lottery during Duncan's tenure, and has only been knocked out in the first round once when he was active — but they were swept in the second round by the Phoenix Suns, usually one of the San Antonio's perennial victims.
Over the summer, trade rumors surrounded Parker, who will be a free agent in 2011, and the Spurs have made moves to feature a younger core that includes Brazilian frontcourt prospect Tiago Splitter. Duncan is still the glue holding everything together, but time is running out on his run.
"He's been their best player," says New Orleans power forward David West, a two-time All-Star. "He's the guy they've built around, the guy they function around. He's where it starts, and teams know that. We all get older, but as long as he's still putting up 20-and-10 and they're still winning, you can't say he's slowing down or anything."
Duncan, of course, shrugs it off. "As long as we're winning games, it doesn't matter who gets credit for what," he says. "One person doesn't win games, it's a bunch of guys playing well. You do your part as much as you can, and it is what it is."
And that is … what, exactly? Duncan secured the title "Best Power Forward of All-Time" years ago. Should he get a fifth championship and perhaps a fourth Finals MVP before he's done, does he challenge Wilt and Kareem and Russell as arguably the greatest big man, period, the game has ever seen?
"The only person in the League that slowed me down was a brotha named Father Time," Shaquille O'Neal told the New Orleans Times-Picayune in September. "But no big man is ever going to do what I and Tim Duncan have done in our careers. It was time for 10 consecutive years that either me or Tim was in the NBA Finals. It was broken two years, but there will never be another big guy to do that."
*** *** ***
They traded Wilt, though. They traded Kareem, traded Moses … they traded Shaq three times. Russell got traded on Draft Day 1956, before they knew what they had. They traded KG, C-Webb, Barkley, Artis, Elvin, Pau, Dikembe and Big Ben. While big men win championships in the NBA — or at least they make up the foundations on which championship wishes are built — so many of the game's giants have at one point or another been deemed expendable by their teams.
Not Duncan. This summer Kobe Bryant said he was "99.99 percent sure" he'll retire as a member of the L.A. Lakers. Duncan is the only player in the League who can point-oh-one-up Kobe. He will 100 percent retire with the Spurs. And then he'll have a statue made in his likeness to stand outside San Antonio's AT&T Center, throwing hook shots or dropping finger rolls or hitting bankers or whatever pose the sculptor suggests, long after Duncan has faded away from the spotlight. The ultimate steady rock of the NBA, now carved out of a chunk of stone. Fitting.
Will we see much of you when you retire?
"I don't know," Duncan says. "Right now it seems very unlikely, but maybe."
"When you leave something, you always wonder the hands you're leaving it in," says Robinson, the cornerstone of the Spurs for eight years before Duncan arrived as the No. 1 pick in the 1997 NBA Draft. "You wonder if it's going to be secure. There's nobody better I could have left this team to than Tim. He's phenomenal. The team has kind of taken on his personality."
More than any team in the League has done for any superstar, the Spurs have converted to Duncan-ism. Parker and Manu Ginobili have built potential Hall of Fame careers by keeping their noses clean, mastering the fundamentals, producing winning (if not always exciting) basketball and, like No. 21, working the referees. Bruce Bowen went from an NBA journeyman to a starter on three title teams by following the Duncan model. Notorious wild card Stephen Jackson, who won a ring with the Spurs in '03, names Duncan as the player who had the most influence on him during his San Antonio stint. Even the coach acts like Duncan. Gregg Popovich's unintentionally hilarious mid-game interviews on national TV have the same clipped, uneasy feel of some of Duncan's interviews. Not surprisingly, Popovich has often said he'll probably retire the same day Duncan walks away from the game.
"The thing about Tim," says Bowen, who retired in 2009, "is that we wouldn't have had success without him. With certain players on certain teams, they just define the team."
I relay the words of Robinson and Bowen to Duncan. Tell him that two of his most accomplished teammates credit him with being the foundation of the franchise.
"What does that mean to me?" Duncan is genuinely thinking about this one. "Umm … I think it's an osmosis thing. I've been there for a lot of years now, and the team is somewhat built around me. So I guess you could say that."
*** *** ***
In putting together this story, my latest attempts to reach out to Duncan weren't answered before press time. Before that, the last time I tried to get inside the mind of Tim Duncan was during another All-Star Weekend, at an adidas event where Duncan and Howard, the new three-stripes marquee name, were in attendance showing off new product. The two sat for group interviews. Naturally, Dwight's oversized personality drew most of the attention. I zeroed in on Duncan and tried again.
You told me once that you grew up a fan of the Lakers and Magic Johnson. Do you think team leaders have to be like a Magic, like a Michael Jordan?
"No, because I'm not built like them and I'd (still) consider myself a leader," Duncan says. "I'm built different — I would guess. I'm a different type of leader. I try to lead by example, try to be the best player I can on the floor. I'm not a big locker-room speech guy. I don't do that stuff. I think what I do is effective."
The event's MC announces there are 30 seconds left for interviews. As I try to think of one last gem, Duncan looks like he's ready for a nap. Soon, the MC starts counting:
The contingent of Chinese reporters (Duncan is very popular in China) have shut off their recorders, content with what they have.
It's just Tim and myself now. One question won't break down a dozen-years wall, but there could be time for a breakthrough.
I'm looking at him; he's looking at me. The great icebreaker is floating in the air somewhere. I can't find it. He won't help me.
Time's up.

According to a recently leaked screenshot, it looks like Sprint may be planning to announce shared data plans as early as June 12th, which is this Sunday. The information suggests the data plan will cover both 4G and 3G data and reads as follows;
"4G Data Share Plans: SNAP enables activation of 4G and 4G/3G combined bucket data share plans. This enhancement allows accounts with multiple subscribers to share data usage across subscribers with common Share IDs.
As a result of this change, a data share plan could have separate 4G, 3G or 4G/3G buckets. In addition, rate plans can have a voice pooling ID with voice minutes and a data share ID with data allowances. SNAP will not show pooling options for team members to help guests setup polling share options for guests."
That being said, while we like the idea of shared data plans though we still need a bit more information before we get excited — namely we need to know what the pricing will be and how much data will be included. And something of worry, at present Sprint offers a nice unlimited data package, will that go away with the introduction of shared data?

As a quality Thai restaurant, Thai Noon fits the bill. In fact, its commitment to quality is what differentiates it from the eight billion other Thai restaurants in Portland. The kitchen uses fresh vegetables in their dishes, with green beans that spike your meal with brilliant color and carrots that have just a hint of rawness. The food is decidedly not greasy (even when dishes involve deep-frying) and you leave feeling healthily recharged instead of weighed down.
The typical dishes like the Pad Thai and spicier Pad Kee Mao are both good bets at Thai Noon, although I do wish their portions were a bit larger. The green curry is top notch, loaded with peas, green pepper, Thai Noon's signature Chinese eggplants (which are small, and purple and white in color), and meat or tofu as usual. I wouldn't recommend ordering the shrimp because on both occasions I had it, it had the dank taste of having been frozen. Also be careful how spicy you order the curry--levels as low as medium will give you the hiccups. One need not be as careful with the noodle dishes, where the medium level isn't quite as potent.
Specials such as the Spicy Eggplant and Chicken and Stuffed Chicken Wings are well executed. The Eggplant dish is loaded with the tender purple eggplant, white meat chicken, and a spicy but pleasantly unassuming sauce. The Stuffed Chicken Wings are deboned, fried, and stuffed with vegetables, glass noodles, and pork. Both of these dishes are good for people who don't like the sweetness of most Thai fare.
My complaints about Thai Noon are limited to a couple things. The Thai iced tea and coffee taste artificial, like they're made from a mix. Also, when my dining partner and I asked for a little more rice with our curry, they threatened to charge us a dollar. I don't know, to me that seems petty; plus I'm used to the owner of Sivalaya comping half my meal out of crazy niceness.
But unlike the homey, knick-knacky feel of Sivalaya or Khun Pic's Bahn Thai, Thai Noon is bright orange and clean, with intimate tables (some outdoors) and big garage doors that are open in nice weather. The waitstaff isn't super confident, but they're friendly and the place is only a month old. Really, I'm just happy to have another option in the Northeast besides Mexican. Plus, healthy restaurant food is generally uncommon, and for someone who eats out as frequently as I do, it's nice to leave a restaurant knowing you ate something good for you, instead of feeling like you just clogged another artery.

I was kind of surprised, I did a search on the above restaurant and did not get many if any "hits". My friend recommended this place. He said it was near El Camino off of a street called Bruce. I went up and down El Camino for over 15 minutes, and could not find it. It's actually off a street called Spruce, about 1/2 a mile from El Camino. I
I must say it's EXCELLENT dim sum for the price/quality ratio. We ordered a total of 14 plates for 4 people. We were hungry after going to the gym. It came out to about $12-$13 per person. We ordered all dim sum, basic stuff, small and medium priced dishes.
All the items were piping hot and fresh. I could not say anything was awful or bad. The only thing I personally would not order again would be their Xiao Lung Bao. Of course, even Koi's could not match the XLB from any decent Shanghainese restaurant (IMHO).
My friends did not care for the Sweet Runny/Watery Egg Yolky steamed bun. I did not care for some sort of Green Tea Tapioca pudding.
For the variety, price, and quality, it beats restaurants high and low, Koi, Gold Mountain, Yuet Wah, the various Mayflowers, etc. etc.

The best test is the test that gets done – that's the message from NBC5's Newy Scruggs, baseball great Darren Oliver and Tarrant County Commissioner Roy Brooks at Moncrief's free prostate screening event. Watch here.

Millions of dollars are available for cancer services for uninsured Texans, thanks to state voters who approved funding for the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). Dr. Keith Argenbright tells us how CPRIT grants are saving lives every day here in North Texas.
Mar 2017
New state grants from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas help Moncrief fight women's cancer, says medical correspondent Carolyn Poirot in Fort Worth Business.

Fertility preservation, such as sperm, egg or embryo freezing, will be offered to underserved young adults diagnosed with cancer through a Moncrief/Rutledge Foundation partnership. These services can be expensive and often beyond the reach of young adult patients.
I went to their Navigating Nutrition class. I thought it was excellent. I learned a portion does not mean that you
should cover your plate with food! And I learned that if you chop garlic 15 minutes before cooking it, it improves its cancer fighting properties.
When the results indicated she had cancer, she vowed to tell other women to begin screening at age 40. Sherri's mammogram was fully
funded through Moncrief's partnership with the Greater Fort Worth Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
It's never too late to discover better ways to recover from cancer. That's what Granbury resident Karen Schrepel is learning as the new Mobile
Cancer Survivor Clinic rolls into Hood and eight other counties. Although Karen was diagnosed with cancer years ago, she's discovering Moncrief is
bringing free services that, until now, were unavailable in rural areas.

Ballistic knife....Spetznaz
Ballistic knife - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They really have an auto knife...it launches the blade at an attacker.
I know one model from Benchmade has a national stock number(NSN). This means it is in the supply system. I need to refresh my memory. I don't think there is a standard auto knife for U.S. special forces. I could be wrong.
Umm... I've only met one Soldier (SF type) and he carried an emerson... check out this site and look in their knife section. Professional Soldiers ® - Home I suggest you spent a lot of time reading through the site before registering and asking a question like in this post. Can I ask why your searching for an "SF" Auto?
I think the Benchmade AFO (auto) has a NSN. Back in the day when I could buy Benchmade knives, I was accidently shipped a "military" AFO model....it came in a different colored Benchmade box than the regular production knife boxes that are used for the general public. When I was talking with Benchmade, trying to get this straightened out, I asked them about the box color....they said that their knives for the military came in that box color.
i got a couple benchmade auto's when i was in, granted i wasn't special force but they were decent little knives, if you want a auto though get a microtec or something and i am especially fond of the out the front kind like in brads picture by his name
and now for the disclaimer so the Feds don't run up in my spot i don't own any automatics and am not recommending someone buy one cause we know how serious it is lol
I had a benchmade auto open when I was in and I had one made by Gerber(unfortunately I don't have any other info than that). I will tell you, the gerber was slightly bigger, but it was way more durable. I guess it will come down to ergo's and how it feels in your hand.
I'm not sure about federal, but I can tell you here in IN it is a B misdemeanor.
Warriors act, fools react
" If they ask what 'Semper fidelis' means, tell them my story", John W. Ripley.
i love protech autos very good knifes for very good prices, and for hard use lol i recommend a fixed blade that way you don't have to worry weather or not the knife opens you already know the deal in a stressful situation

So I'm willing to try this to run NSMB and Wii Sports Resort, but I'm still curious, how would one go about returning the Wii to factory FW and "un-hacking" it?

So I'm willing to try this to run NSMB and Wii Sports Resort, but I'm still curious, how would one go about returning the Wii to factory FW and "un-hacking" it?
I followed all the instructions, as I had the same problem.
Now, I get the 002 error, whereas, i didn't get it before, what can I do to make the 002 error go away?
Also, what file or setting makes it so that You don't have to update your wii to play wii motion plus games?
The game IOS and software of the gamke handles WM+.
#002 error is fixed by the loader usually by choosing the relevant #002 Anti/On option or whatever.
The loader provided in this thread, doesn't have any options, it just auto loads the game, and then says 002 error.
Also, doesn't it make you update your wii, possibly brick it, to play WM+ games?
Well you are following an old post. Get a newer Loader such as Neogamma, USB Loader GX etc.
No update needed. Block all updates with Priiloader's options. Probably best if you stop working from an older thread.
Now I'm confused
By the way, i am softmodding my wii, and using 3.2 update.
Where can I get Neogamma or a newer version of backup loader?
Also, what is priiloader?
Finally, can you give me a link to a newer thread?
There are some good tutorials in the Tutorials section of the forum, one in particular is a full softmod for 3.1-4.1 Wiis which installs HBC, cIOS, Priiloader, IOS and USB and Neogamma disc loaders. Everything you need should be there and the guides are updated regularly.
So can someone make a tutorial to unhack a wii? I wanna unhack my fathers wii. He doesnt know i hacked it, i just wanna put it back to factory settings before i give it back to him. I have a 4.2U system menu.
Tutorials section.
Ok so I did everything , but how do u install the last file the Wii-ish_Force_NTSC file? Do you do it in wad manager or do u install it as an app. And if in wad manager what is it called?

Blue Kentucky Girl Loretta Lynn
Rodeo Austin's opening weekend kicks off a cold bang
By Raoul Hernandez,
10:10AM, Mon. Mar. 3, 2014
In his final local appearance, George Jones, 79, subbed for a topmost 2011 Rodeo Austin headliner. Despite him having gone to pasture as a performer, it was quite the substitution. Loretta Lynn, 81, made good Sunday, and though the "Blue Kentucky Girl" continues playing well past retirement age, her voice remains a delight.
A tiny woman in a overflowing pink ball gown, Lynn climbed the round, moveable, and revolving stage in the middle of the Travis County Expo Center arena where bronc bustin', calf ropin', barrel racing, and bull riding had galvanized a full house on a frigid day when none of the carnival rides outside were in service.
As unsteady as she looked getting out of the soccer van that deposited her at the foot of the stairs, onstage she mostly kept to a couple spots while rifling through one two-minute Country & Western smash after another. After 25 minutes, when she sat down and let her seven-piece backing band run through a couple covers of Ray Price and the Eagles, she'd mowed down 10 tunes.
"Thank you. Thank you very much," she said after the fourth one. "It's raining like the dickens out there. Just look at my hair – but don't you say a word."
True, the first lady of country had lost a quarter of the house once the Rodeo portion of the evening was done, but the reverence and awe in the arctic arena remained palpable throughout the 50-minute set. Not only is Lynn's voice still high and sweet, when she sang "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man," you damn well believed her.
Her breath, intonation, and belief stood at the door of that song with a loaded shotgun. When she delivered the last word and note in Patsy Cline cover "She's Got You," heartbreak name's was Loretta Lynn.
"We've been in Texas three days and that tickles me to death," giggled the singer, later recounting that her earliest tours were to the Lone Star state, where she played for $50 a night. "I never forget Texas. I love Texas. It kept my family from starving."
Certainly no one went hungry in the second day of Rodeo Austin (check the live stream), which this year strings together consecutive Sabbaths of superstars – Lynn, Willie Nelson & Family next weekend, and Dwight Yoakam closing out on the Sunday of South by Southwest Music. From her very first composition ("I'm a Honky Tonk Girl") to her most famous ("Coal Miner's Daughter"), Sunday's belle of the ball sounded positively girlish.
Do women's voices mature better than those of men? Loretta Lynn's hasn't aged at all.
Set-list, Travis County Expo Center, 3.2.14
"They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy" "You're Looking at Country" "When the Tingle Becomes a Chill" "I Wanna Be Free" "Blue Kentucky Girl" "You Ain't Woman Enough (to Take My Man)" "Love is the Foundation" "Fist City" "She's Got You" "Lead Me On" "Crazy Arms" "Peaceful Easy Feeling" "One's on the Way/The Pill" "I'm a Honky-Tonk Girl" "Your Squaw is on the Warpath" "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (with Lovin' on Your Mind)" "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven" "Where No One Stands Alone" "Coal Miner's Daughter"

Adam Johnson jailed for six years
Footballer Adam Johnson has been jailed for six years for grooming and sexual activity with a girl aged 15.
Sentencing the ex-Sunderland player, Judge Jonathan Rose told him he had abused a position of trust and caused his victim "severe psychological harm".
The judge told Johnson, 28, he had engaged in sexual activity with her knowing she was under 16.
Bradford Crown Court heard the sexual abuse happened in the footballer's Range Rover last January.
Judge Rose told the footballer, who played 12 times for England, that the girl had "suffered threats and thousands of abusive remarks" on social media.
Judge Rose said there had been "an abuse of trust – you are trusted by young fans to behave properly".
He said: "She had only just turned 15 when you began grooming her, because, as you were to admit, you found her sexually attractive."
At the start of his trial last month, Johnson had admitted grooming the girl and one charge of sexual activity. He was found guilty of sexual touching and cleared of one charge relating to another sexual act.
Judge Rose said Johnson had had "every opportunity" to enter guilty pleas to the charges he finally admitted. He ordered the footballer to pay £50,000 of the prosecution's £67,132 costs.
Earlier, Dr Philip Hopley, a consultant psychiatrist giving evidence for the defence, told the court: "This is a man who, at the age of 28, is socially and psychologically immature."
The doctor said he found no evidence in Johnson of an attraction to pre-pubescent children or "sexual perversion".
How apps helped to convict Adam Johnson
Speaking after Johnson was sentenced, Det Insp Aelfwynn Sampson, of Durham Police, said: "Fame, celebrity and a position of power does not give you the right to break the law in pursuit of whatever you desire.
"This girl should have been safe but she was used by the public figure she looked up to most."
Outside the court, Gerry Wareham from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "Adam Johnson exploited a young star-struck fan, actively grooming her over a number of months in single-minded pursuit of his own sexual gratification."
Earlier, the court was told the player had lodged an appeal against his conviction for sexual activity with the girl.
He is due back in the dock this afternoon.
Johnson began his career at Middlesbrough before moving to Manchester City and then on to Sunderland in 2012.

Agitate, America!: How bad can it get?
By Nancy Churchill
A Progressive Visionary
Note: The following is part one of two parts, written originally on Nov. 26, 2010. Part two will explore what each of us can do to reconnect with Kennedy's new human possibility, starting now.
James Douglass' JFK and the Unspeakable details how John F. Kennedy was assassinated for contemplating how bad it could get when he stood up to "The Unspeakable" military-industrial complex over the Cuban Missile Crisis.
According to Douglass, the generals were furious that Kennedy had refused to order air strikes against a Soviet nuclear arms buildup in Cuba, which would surely have launched a global nuclear war that would have precluded us even having this conversation.
Thomas Merton coined "The Unspeakable" to describe what lurked behind Kennedy's assassination, the Vietnam War, the nuclear arms race and subsequent assassinations of Malcolm X, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy.
According to Douglass, Merton was "pointing to a kind of systemic evil that defies speech," manifest in our government as the "covert-action doctrine of 'plausible deniability,'" which sanctioned assassinations and the overthrow of foreign governments.
"The Unspeakable," says Douglass, "is not far away. It is not somewhere out there, identical with a government that became foreign to us. The emptiness of the void, the vacuum of responsibility and compassion, is in ourselves."
Fifty years after Kennedy's assassination, we are embroiled in a War on Terror, the Great Industrial Complex pours billions of dollars into elections to ensure legislative outcomes that block any attempts at curbing its insatiable appetite and Republicans first blocked Obama's attempts to ratify the START treaty with Russia to monitor nuclear weapons. So, what is new? No one has been assassinated recently, but impeachment is always on the table.
Because Kennedy foresaw how bad it could get, he began secret talks with, and thereby humanized, his Cold War opponent, Nikita Kruschev. Five months before he was murdered, Kennedy envisioned a way out of hostilities in a commencement address at American University, June 10, 1963. "What kind of peace do we seek?" he asked. "I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children — not merely peace for Americans, but peace for all men and women — not merely peace in our time, but peace for all time."
Douglass provides our takeaway from that speech: "In his American University address, John Kennedy was proclaiming a way out of the Cold War and into a new human possibility." We need to reconnect with Kennedy's new human possibility by conscientiously objecting to the Unspeakable Great Industrial Complex that currently rules our lives. To me, this means becoming mindful of every little thing we do: what we buy and use, where we work, what we do when we get there — and just how each one of those things might be contributing to our distressed lives, not to mention the death of our species and the planet.
Nancy Churchill was raised in the D.R.C. (Congo), raced stock cars on short dirt tracks for 25 years, and is a proud, lifelong member of "We, the People." She lives in Oregon, Ill.
