Rafa happy for Harry
By Paul Higham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Rafa Benitez was delighted Harry Kewell finally got back on the scoresheet.Rafa Benitez was delighted for Harry Kewell as he finally got his name back on the scoresheet for Liverpool in spectacular fashion.
The Australian has never really shown his true capabilities since moving to Anfield from Leeds, and has struggled in the past year or so with continuing injury problems.
Of late though he has started to show glimpses of the form that made him one of the best left wingers in The Premiership as he enjoys a settled run in the side.
Kewell showed his quality with a thunderous volley against Tottenham on Saturday that was enough to give The Reds a 1-0 win at Anfield.
It was a fitting way to win the game and Kewell must have enjoyed his first Liverpool goal in 13 months, and his first Premiership strike at Anfield since November 2003.
"If you are to win a game by just one goal you would want it to be a goal like that," said Benitez.
"It was good for Harry to score a goal like that and in front of the Kop, considering all the problems he has had over the past season or so.
"There were times when I was disappointed with the situation he found himself in, but I have talked to him and he knows how important he is to us.
"If he continues to play like this he will give the side something extra on the left.
"He is training now without pain, training every day and he now knows with his recent performances that he can now play again at this level."
Benitez was happy with the display against a solid Spurs side who had a point to prove after their FA Cup exit at Leicester.
"This was a very good win for us and it was difficult against a good team who played well.
"They had a lot of the ball and had a clear chance at the start of the second half from our mistake, but we kept going and had some good chances.
"We didn't play fantastic football today but the team is more mature now to win games like this and work hard and play as a team."
Benitez is still looking to strengthen his squad before the end of the transfer window, but insisted he would not buy just for the sake of it.
"We are looking for good players, who are good enough to play for us. But it is not easy because we have a very good team."

text: I was looking at Petteri's review on Etowalk today, and I'm worried that the HD2 looks a little on the slow side? It may be the video not doing it justice, but is does look sluggish, Petteri, can you confirm how much slower it is than the original? It's 460 dual core I believe, so that should come in about 920? I would not expect it to be much slower than the original. but having looked at the vid on Youtube for the desire it looks as though it's running rings around the HD2 for speed, and it's only running at 533! So, is it that the HD2 isn't really that fast at all, or the graphics chip on the desire is just better? Or, that the HD2 is really quite a fast phone but the video isn't doing it justice? Mike

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles these days. Auto enthusiasts know that a brand you can trust is built into each Chevrolet, and understand that only the highest quality replacement K3500 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. Chevrolet vehicle drivers have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their K3500 around town. Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to find genuine or original equipment quality replacement parts for your K3500.
The need to heat the interiors our vehicles came before our ability to cool them. The engine of your Chevrolet K3500 constantly pumps and turns a mixture of water and ethylene glycol through the engine block in order to absorb the heat it generates, and transfers it through heater hoses to the heater core so you can warm up the passenger compartment. Your heater core sits inside a heater box, mounted behind your glove compartment, and you can find it by following the two heater hoses towards the passenger side of the firewall. To make a long story short, your Chevrolet K3500 heater core acts like a radiator; in that it uses the engine coolant to emit heat for the blower motor to propel into the inside of the car.
Don't let a broken Heater Core spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the best replacement parts. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Chevrolet K3500 part for your project or repair. Need 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988 Chevrolet K3500 Heater Core parts? We've got them right here.

It was a gruesome and horrific crime. Now 11Alive is trying to understand what went through the mind of a now-convicted killer.
Jeffrey Hazelwood's lawyer said he was off his medications and hallucinating the night he killed two teens behind a Roswell grocery store. Did he know what he was doing? And could he even tell right from wrong? 11Alive spoke with a clinical psychologist to try to get inside Hazelwood's mind.
Hazelwood showed no emotion Wednesday in court as he was sentenced to life without parole after pleading guilty but mentally ill.
► Jeffrey Hazelwood sentenced to life in prison in murders of Roswell teens
► Judge: Accused Roswell teens' murderer fit to stand trial
► What we learned about mental capacity of Roswell teens' murder suspect
► New charges filed against accused Roswell murderer
"The benefit of that is that he will likely get some of the help that he needs," Dr. Erik Fisher said.
Fisher is a clinical psychologist not affiliated with this case.
Hazelwood's lawyer said his client has shown great remorse now that he is on medication and can comprehend what he did one night in August 2016. That's when he killed Natalie Henderson and Carter Davis.
"His ability, if he has psychotic issues, to really be able to be aware of what's the real world and what's manufactured through his psychotic thoughts, beliefs, behaviors and hallucinations - that there's a question in his ability to accurately judge reality from fantasy," Fisher said.
Hazelwood's lawyer said he tried writing an apology letter to the families. He wanted to tell them he wasn't a monster. But he couldn't get through the letter without crying. Natalie's father said it was a relief for this case to end.
"Their lives had, and will continue to have, great meaning for all of us," Tad Henderson said holding back tears.
A psychiatrist who examined Hazelwood said he suffered from five mental illnesses that resulted in hallucinations, suicidal thoughts and anxiety. He's battled mental illness since he was a child.
"It's the combination of those diagnoses and it sounds like the severity of some of those issues that really make this a complex case and difficult to really find solutions for," Fisher said.
The state psychiatrist who examined him said Hazelwood has shown improvement since he first saw him. Henderson's family said this was the outcome they wanted - a quick case and life without parole.

Obviously, you bought your Ram 2500 because you understood you would be getting great performance and American engineering both rolled up into one automobile. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the aggressive styling built into each Dodge, and know that only top quality repair Ram 2500 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. You purchased your Ram 2500 because its dependability and versatility agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Dodge vehicle enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of reliable transport when driving their Ram 2500 around town.
The longevity of our engines depends on how well they are cared for and lubricated. For over 100 years, engine oil has been that lubricant... and it is kept in your Dodge Ram 2500 oil pan. The oil pan is the lowest part of the crankcase, where all the oil collects; so it is sometimes called a sump. Since your oil pan is exposed to the road underneath it, it can be easily damaged by rogue debris or rocks. The oil pan will also rust if your Dodge Ram 2500 sits for too long.
Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. When your Dodge requires the best replacement Oil Pan, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Get your Ram 2500 back on the road with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. When it comes to Dodge Ram 2500 Oil Pan parts, you can find them for 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Huge thanks to Iain Duncan Smith for a speech on marriage which, with its pointed allusions to Hello!, supplied both an excuse to buy that magazine for the first time in two decades and the pleasure of finding it untouched by the modern world, unless you count Coleen Rooney. Unlike The Lady, with its regrettable excursions into the darker side of life, Hello! has kept faith with readers who wish only to escape into celebrity holidays, celebrity houses and, above all, celebrity weddings. Divorces may have soared since it appeared, in 1988, and the marriage rate dropped to its lowest in history, but Hello!'s enthusiasm for the sacrament that once united Bill Wyman and Mandy Smith remains, as indeed it is for Iain Duncan Smith, its essential, defining feature.
Here Come the Brides was last week's headline, focusing on the coming spectaculars of Kate Middleton, Kate Moss and Zara Phillips. The last, we learn, is hiring "a top wedding planner for her July ceremony". Whatever immorality and the Labour party have done to sideline matrimony, enough life evidently remains in the institution to reassure anyone hoping, like top wedding planner to the stars, Peregrine Armstrong-Jones, to make a career out of it. "Peregrine," reports Hello!, "celebrated for his signature style of 'voluptuous' floral arrangements and opulent decor, is no stranger to organising royal occasions." Yet Peregrine is equally happy to apply his style to commoners. "Peregrine organised the Sudeley Castle ceremony when Elizabeth Hurley wed Arun Nayar in 2007," says Hello!, characteristically drawing a veil over the less cheerful aspects of that union.
Altogether a delightful promotion of marriage, you might think, and nicely timed for Marriage Week UK in the past few days, but it is the very Peregrinisation of weddings that alarms Iain Duncan Smith, to the point that he blames Hello! for weakening the institution it purports to celebrate. Addressing the reasons why people might not feel so much like doing it as they did 100 years ago, or even 10, he stresses the deterrent cost of these events, which now averages £20,000. "What has changed has been the Hello!-style idea that if you get married and can't show yourself in a Hello! light, then somehow you are a bit of a failure."
For those who do marry, IDS said, this means a "hangover of debt" that can only be ominous: "It must put enormous pressure from the relationship right from the start." Thus, when it does not depress marriage figures, Hello! contributes to the divorce rate: a contentious observation from such a quiet man. Many people will be familiar with the curse of Hello!, a kind of celebrity nemesis whereby those idiotic enough to flaunt their happiness in its pages generally find themselves overtaken by tragedy, in the shape of weight gain, bankruptcy, divorce, or sometimes, as with Fergie, all three. But his theory that this curse on marriage now afflicts everyone, requiring the state to supply blandishments for properly certificated couples, is surely worth examining, as with any supernatural claim, against more pedestrian explanations.
Is it credible that Hello!'s celebrity culture has so turned the heads of the eligible that they are unable to emulate the personal decisions of Iain Duncan Smith? If so, as someone who esteems the institution of marriage, I hardly like to have the magazine in the house. Or could it be that some combination of affluence, tolerance, personal freedom, access to divorce, birth control, secularism and longevity, in the context of widespread marital desertion, has reached the point where a large percentage will never risk marrying, particularly if they are hard up? And if that is so, should Mr Duncan Smith be trying to herd them into it, reinforced by the Archbishop of Canterbury and an assurance (inaccurate) that a wedding need cost no more than a licence?
Long before the arrival of Hello!, unhappy spouses, such as Arnold Bennett, were predicting the collapse of marriage within 100 years: "The origin of trouble in most marriages is the too close and too constant companionship of the twain, who simply get sick of one another." Life expectancy when he was interviewed in 1926 was around half the 100 years now anticipated for one in six of the population. Bennett's objection is one with which IDS does, to his credit, engage, with his proposal for increased government investment in marital counselling. Even so, this engagement with people's intimate lives sits uncomfortably with Cameron's famous aversion to the big, interfering state.
Duncan Smith would like to go further, with marriage tax breaks inevitably subsidised by, among others, the widowed and betrayed. The justification, of course, is society's benefit from stable marriages as opposed to dodgy cohabitation, supposing you believe this proceeds from the institution rather than the kind of couples who go in for it. Either way, Cameroons agree, married people are better.
"We all live in an impoverished society if more and more people choose to put me before we," said Michael Gove, on a detour into archbishop territory. "The picture isn't pretty," agrees the great Tory philosopher, Phillip Blond. "With family breakdown for many, the fundamental bedrock of civic life in Britain has been destroyed. It was some of the very people who thought themselves left wing – the pleasure-seeking, mind-altering drug takers and sexual pioneers of the 1960s who instigated the fragmentation of the working-class family and sold the poor the poisonous idea of liberation through chemical and sexual experimentation." If this terrifying diagnosis puts Hello! in the clear, it does not, immediately, suggest any measures whereby the working classes can be saved from themselves, other than by the revival of the conventional family featuring, ideally, a male earner plus dependent helpmeet. But perhaps that really is the Tory plan for the family? "The fact that many now celebrate its destruction," writes Blond, "as somehow part of the liberation of women only testifies to the destruction of the chance for a real feminism founded on what most women want – marriage and children alongside creative work and social engagement."
The reconstruction of the fabled nuclear family c 1950, resembling, one imagines, something like Brief Encounter minus the soot and roving eyes, might look, to borrow Nick Clegg's terminology, like a fairly big ask, particularly given Clegg's objection to preaching. And yet IDS sounded confident last week, when he hinted that there might be good news ahead for the fascinator industry: "There is no one stronger on this than the prime minister." And Cameron has certainly made a start, having already established via the child benefit anomaly and the coming universal credit that lone-parent households are less deserving than double ones, and then affirmed undimmed enthusiasm for a transferable tax credit for families living the Phillip Blond dream.
So if it is just money that's stopping you, why not propose to the little woman on Valentine's Day tomorrow and see her face light up? Including ceremony and certificate, it could still come in at around £100.

Michael Wise Ready to Lead New U-Haul Company of Clearwater
TAMPA, Fla. - (Feb. 19, 2013) Executive Vice President (EVP) Bob Willson and District 12 Area District Vice President (ADVP) Mario Martinez jointly announced today that Michael Wise has been promoted to marketing company president (MCP) of the new U-Haul Company of Clearwater.
Wise began his U-Haul career in October 2004 as an assistant general manager (GM) for U-Haul Moving and Storage at Gandy Blvd, and shortly thereafter was promoted to GM of U-Haul Moving and Storage of West Tampa. In November 2006, Wise transferred to U-Haul Company of Tampa and served as field relief manager (FRM) before being promoted to traffic control manager (TCM) for U-Haul Company of Tampa, the position he held until his recent promotion. Today, Wise will oversee all operations of U-Haul Company of Clearwater.
"Michael brings many years of management experience to his new position," Martinez affirmed. "He is a hardworking individual ready and eager to succeed with his team. Michael's proven leadership abilities will lead this team to high achievement."
When asked what he was most excited about in assuming his role, Wise said, "The opportunity to work with an awesome group of people." Wise explained that he has a seasoned group of team members who already have been hard at work establishing themselves within the communities they serve. Wise feels fortunate, because even though he is taking over as leader of a new company split from U-Haul Company of Tampa, he and his team members already have great working relationships established. Wise says he has always believed that a president, manager or boss is usually the topic of conversation around dinner tables each night, and he plans on keeping that in mind and using it as a core value when leading his new team. He wants to make sure his team members' conversations are positive ones.
"I value the chance to make a difference in people's lives," Wise stated. "I want to do this for our customers by doing all that I can to ensure that their moving experience is a seamless process, and for my team members whose lives I will impact with the decisions I make."
Develop and train…develop and train--that's going to be Wise and his teams' new motto. Wasting no time getting started, Wise already plans to acquire new self-storage, more dealerships and more U-Box portable moving and self-storage containers. Wise knows there are so many more aspects of the Company that need attention day in and day out and, as president, he intends to ensure that processes are efficient and effective within U-Haul Company of Clearwater.
Having worked in all aspects of U-Haul, and having been mentored by Bob Magyar (his former MCP)--who has kept him hungry to make a difference and learn all that he can about U-Haul--Wise feels lucky to have an opportunity to make a difference as a leader himself. He says that the opportunity to serve as president gives him the chance to train and develop team members, execute U-Haul programs and procedures, and personally take responsibility to grow both personally and professionally.

The law firms of Lindquist & Vennum LLP and Patterson Thuente IP announce the completion of their joint project, a comprehensive guide to setting up patent law pro bono programs, titled Patent Law Pro Bono: A Best Practices Handbook. A provision of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) requires the United States Patent & Trademark Office to work with IP law organizations to develop pro bono programs for low-income inventors. The Handbook will serve as a guide for these organizations, located across the country, as they create patent law pro bono programs. Currently there are at least five state and regional programs in some stage of development.
The first patent law pro bono program was a pilot project in Minnesota, developed before the pro bono provision was added to the AIA. It was created by leaders in the Minnesota legal com-munity who recognized the need to provide pro bono assistance to independent inventors and was set up to assist inventors with prosecuting patent applications. As news of the project spread and interest in other states increased, it was clear that others could benefit greatly from what was learned during the Minnesota pilot. The Handbook explains the issues vetted during the pilot and the resulting solutions. It provides sample forms and acts as a blueprint for other programs to follow that will be updated as other projects come on line and can share lessons learned.
The Handbook was authored by Mark R. Privratsky, a partner at Lindquist & Vennum and Chair of its Intellectual Property Group, and Amy M. Salmela, a partner at Patterson Thuente IP, both of who were instrumental in setting up the Minnesota pilot program. Commenting on the Handbook, the authors said, "We are proud to be part of the Minnesota pilot project, which recently celebrated its first anniversary and is about to have its second patent grant on behalf of a client."
The Handbook will be published online and in print through Cybaris, An Intellectual Property Law Review, and will also be available through WestLaw.

I came to work at 4cs almost 5 years ago. I have and continue to enjoy being a part of a great organization that serves the community. I am grateful to take part daily in helping so many families receive financial assistance toward the cost of child care so they can work or attend school. I also have utilized the referral services and found a great child care provider for my own two children.
I can say that 4C's has changed my life, I am a single mom of two kids age 11 and 7, I go to school full time I could never afford childcare without the help of 4C's, i have one more year to graduate and I never would have made it without 4C's. They also helped me by referring me to other services and programs. I am so thankful to 4C's for all their help.My case worker is wonderful, she always answers my questions if I needed more information about daycare, she is kind and very pleasant. Thank you so much for C's for helping my family.
I can say if I didn't have 4C's I don't know what I would of done . 4C's made it possible for me to work and still have time to spend with my son. If there was no 4C's I would have to work two jobs just to pay for childcare and I would still be stressed because I wouldn't know who to leave my son with while I worked two job.. I'm very thankful to just work one job and be able to have that special time with my son. I thank 4C's for being there for single parents like me.
My Family has been with 4Cs of San Mateo County for more than 5 years. Without 4Cs my husband and I wouldn't have been able to work all these years and would probably be homeless and jobless due to the constant rising of childcare costs in San Mateo County. When we first joined with 4Cs my oldest son who couldn't talk even though he was almost two years old, went to daycare for the first time and learned to talk within a week of going to daycare, my oldest son is now almost 9 years old. 4Cs is a great organization that helps families everyday and in every way that they possibly can. 4Cs is one of a kind and I don't know what my family would do without them.
In 1998, I was a single mom in a new city and needed support with my child. The 4Cs San Mateo was exactly the resource I was looking for with child care referrals near my area of work and home in Redwood City. I am so grateful that 4Cs provided such an extensive list. It helped me cut time trying to find child care on my own. I am proud to say that I wanted to continue my support of the organization and currently am a Board member.

The suspects were convicted over their involvement in a massacre in the German city of Duisburg two years ago.Rome -- An Italian court Thursday sentenced 31 people to prison, one of them for 13 years, for a 2007 mafia massacre in Germany in which six people were killed, the court announced.
Ten people were acquitted by the court in the southern city of Reggio Calabria, which handled the suspects from two rival mafia clans accused over the killings in the German city of Duisburg.
Antonio Pelle, head of one of the Vottari-Pelle gang, was sentenced to 13 years in jail for his role in the battle between his and the Strangio-Nirta clan, according to the official court judgment.
Santo Vottari, accused of ordering the killing of a rival mafia gangster's wife, got 10 years and eight months in jail.
Both clans are based in the village of San Luca and their battle has left 16 dead since 1991.
Six men, between the ages of 16 and 39, were killed in the German city of Duisburg on August 15, 2007, and their bodies left in the boots of two cars near an Italian restaurant.
The execution-style killings highlighted the long-running vendetta between the Ndrangheta clans.
Dozens of suspected Mafiosi went on trial last year following a probe into the feud that began well before the Duisburg massacre, claiming nearly 20 lives since 1991.
The chief suspect in the Duisburg killings, 30-year-old Giovanni Strangio, was arrested in the Netherlands on March 12. Germany and Italy have both asked for his extradition.

A throwback to the days when Disney would recruit second- and third-tier stars to stroll through indifferently written, modestly produced comic fluff that served as family entertainment. show more
It's painless, especially if you have a small child in tow, and the Rock, bless his heart, acts like it's all new to him. The star should do more comedy - he's got quick reflexes and a face that lends itself to cartoon double takes, and he's not afraid to look completely ridiculous. show more
The two best things about this logic-challenged, predictable and overlong (110 minutes!) film are The Rock's performance - surely he's one of the more likable people in the movies, and here he handles physical sight gags with aplomb; and the parallel disciplines of football and ballet, which provide a way for father and daughter to understand each other. show more

(Adds details of pricing and restructuring)
By Davide Scigliuzzo
NEW YORK, Feb 6 (IFR) - Venezuela's U.S. oil refiner Citgo Holding restructured and raised the yield on a proposed US$2.5bn financing package following lackluster investor demand, a source familiar with the deal said on Friday.
The company, which plans to use proceeds to pay a dividend to Venezuela's state-owned oil company PDVSA, also agreed to pledge 100% of its operating company as collateral for the sale, the source said.
Concerns over the outlook for the battered US energy sector and default fears surrounding cash-strapped Venezuela have already forced Citgo to sweeten terms on the deal twice this week.
In the latest revision, the company raised the yield on a US$1.5bn bond offering to 12% area, removed a call option after the first two years, and cut the note's maturity by six months to five years.
Original price talk on the note was 11.75%, which was wide to initial price indications - or whispers - of high 10% to 11%.
The structure and pricing of the US$1bn loan part of the package was also altered to make the deal more attractive to investors.
The maturity on the senior secured term loan has been reduced to 3.25 years from the originally targeted five years, while pricing is now seen at a spread of 850bp over Libor.
That is wide to revised talk of 825bp over Libor announced on Thursday and to the 800bp announced two weeks ago.
The loan will have a Libor floor of 1% - meaning that the interest paid on the principal would be at least 9.50% at the latest price talk.
New terms on the entire package will require the company to maintain a debt service reserve account worth 12 months of principal and interest payments on the debt, up from six months originally.
Addressing one of the most contentious issues in the original structure, the company also agreed to pledge as collateral 100% of the equity of Citgo Petroleum Corp, its operating company, up from the 49% originally announced.
Mid-stream assets worth US$750m will also be pledged as collateral, as originally planned.
Order books for the bond deal, originally scheduled to close at 12:00pm EST on Friday, will remain open until the same time on Monday.
Deutsche Bank is sole bookrunner on the financing package, while Brazilian investment bank BTG Pactual is joint lead manager on the bond issue. (Reporting by Davide Scigliuzzo; Editing by Jack Doran and Natalie Harrison)

2017 Chrysler Pacifica Review Sep 15, 2016 by Cedric (Driver Weekly)
As the newest minivan on the market, it makes sense that the Chrysler Pacifica is the most feature-packed option for families who want the latest technology. The new platform features sporty styling and an upscale interior that parents and children alike will love. The Pacifica is also the only minivan in its class to offer an available hybrid engine if you are concerned about fuel economy or the environment.
The standard powertrain in the 2017 Pacifica is a 3.6-liter V6 with 287 horsepower and a torque of 262 pound-feet. The Pacifica also comes with automatic engine stop and start as a way to increase fuel efficiency. Thanks to its design, the Pacifica has average fuel economy figures of 18 mpg in the city, 28 on the highway, and 22 combined. When configured correctly, you can expect the Pacifica to tow 3,600 pounds. It works with a nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. While the Chrysler nine-speed transmission has received criticism from reviewers in the past, the latest edition found in the new van has smoothed out the vast majority of issues found with this gearbox.
Standard technology in the 2017 Pacifica starts with the 5-inch touchscreen display, voice commands, Uconnect Access, Bluetooth, auxiliary audio input, and USB input. Higher trims offer satellite radio, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, surround sound speakers, and second-row entertainment featuring two 10-inch touchscreens and a Blu-Ray player. The highest trim also offers a powerful vacuum built into the chassis. Safety technology includes blind spot monitoring, parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alerts, and low-speed automatic braking in addition to the standard rearview camera.
Interior Versatility
Versatility is a strong point for this next generation van. The successor to the Town & Country, the Pacifica is equipped with Stow 'n Go seats that let you quickly fold the second-row seats before storing them right in a convenient compartment under the floor. When the seats are in use, you can use these storage compartments for other items. The Stow 'n Go seats will even slide and tilt forward with a child safety seat in place. You can also choose to configure your Pacifica with second-row captain's chairs or a removable center seat. The third row has a standard 60/40 split and folding seats. Adults will find the third row of seats to be incredibly comfortable, perhaps the best in the class. When all three rows of seats are upright, the Pacifica delivers 32.3 cubic feet of cargo space, which increases to 87.5 and 140.5 cubic feet when the second and third rows are folded flat.
Hybrid Model
For interested buyers there is a hybrid model available for the Touring L, Touring L Plus, and Limited Trims that pairs the 3.6L V6 with a16-kilowatt-hour floor-mounted battery pack and electric motors. It hybrid engine has an estimated 260 horsepower and the battery can be recharged at home in two hours with a 240-volt charger. This vehicle delivers 80 MPGe and can go 30 miles on electric power alone, providing family's with a versatile and efficient electric option for the first time.
The Pacifica offers an exceptional range of trims and accessories that are reflected in the price. Chrysler has positioned their latest model as a premium minivan, and the relatively high MSRP can increase quickly. However, at this time the new model is more advanced and stylish than the competition. If you are looking for a new minivan, the Pacifica should be a strong contender, especially until newer platforms from other automakers arrive.

Heading to the gym with a bit of Eau des Hesperides
Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire. Made by perfumer Delphine Jelk and foodie Sylvaine Delacourte who used something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue! The old thing is in the drydown, a trail of Jean-Paul Guerlain's "love years", mixing Habit Rouge's rooty-sweet patchouli and Chamade's fruity amber. What's new is at the start, a tangy, succulent combination of Sicilian lemons, jammy raspberry and an addictive black note of anise, smoked tea and licorice. In the middle we find the borrowed stuff, the Muscinade straight from L'Instant Magic, bitter almond, rose, musk and vanilla, heavenly chewy and luscious like a freshly baked French macaroon, with a touch of amaretto and burnt sugar, precisely so Guerlain and deluxe as to make raspberry and licorice suddenly smell like a proper perfume. The blue is the colour of the juice, a cool-blue nuance as unique as the fragrance, tinted with drops of black and red-violet, that makes your mouth water long before pressing the spray button.

{Celebrate} The Simplest Homemade Wrapping Paper
February 16, 2011 in All Posts, Celebrate, Play, Toddler Activities
Completely enamored by Chloe's new fragrance, Love, Chloe, I bought my own Valentine's present this year. (Well, Hubby also got me something). But buying your own gift doesn't mean it shouldn't be presented beautifully. I didn't have any wrapping paper handy, so I enlisted Jane's help. This is by the far the easiest wrapping paper we've made and it took just a few minutes.
- construction paper*
- tape (clear or double-sided is best)
- crayons or markers
Step 1: Arrange the gift in the center of the construction paper. We chose red for Valentine's Day, but any color works. Keep in mind that the darker the color, the less crayon will show up.
Step 2: Fold one edge of the paper over the gift. Then, do the same thing from the other side. To keep the paper taut, tape down the first side to the gift before pulling over the second side.
Step 3: Fold in the two edges as you would normally do with regular wrapping paper, using tape to secure the construction paper.
Step 4: Give your toddler crayons or markers and free reign to decorate as s/he sees fit.
And voila! The simplest homemade wrapping paper.
*In fact, you don't even need construction paper — any paper bag (like a brown grocery bag or retail store shopping bag) can be your wrapping paper canvas by turning it inside out.

Fort Wayne is truly emerging as a destination for its scrumptious dining choices. They will cause chaos in your stomach because you will stuff yourself to sleep.
The food scene here will make any pro chef jealous. But for whatever reason, there are still haters out there. For all we are concerned, buff bros with enlightened masculinity like Idris Elba can munch in another place. Although they would be welcomed with open arms! We will battle anyone in the court of food opinion over this. And it will be a case we will win uninamously. We can't wait to celebrate by feasting at one of these restaurants.
You really can't go wrong ordering a traditional roasted turkey with sweet potatoes. However there are more advanced choices on the menus if you want to change your routine. The menus are filled with fresh flavors of lemon, spice and oranges. Some are cheap hidden gems while others are for fancy nights on the town. Rest assured, all are worthy of Facebook bragging.
We have picked a mix of classic establishments. And we then mixed in the new trendy places. This is the first complete tour of the restaurants in Fort Wayne. After eating around here, you will demand copycat restaurant recipes so you can try to recreate the experience at home.

Color or No Color – You Be The JudgeBy
Several months ago I was contacted by a "mom" that wanted a special gift for her son for his anniversary. She was quite passionate on presenting a special gift for a special day. This particular mom got the privalage of officiating at the ceremony that joined her son with his new wife. The event happened on March 21st, 2003 and it was the first day of Spring.
Well, spring here in Chicago today is non-existant and we are gearing up for another snow.. My thoughts on that sentence is.. filled with $%^&W#$^$^% explicit language.. but my problem, not yours.
Anyhow, after going back and forth with Jan – the mother of the groom – we decided on a photo.
The only thing collectively we really couldn't decide is whether to add color to this, I have been successful adding a slight coloring to a grey scale drawing. I did Tommy Katona and When It's Shinin' Blue and it turned out pretty well from what I am told.
But this particular scene, came on a chilly Maine Morning, the color of the ocean was deep yet the blue's still shone through, the color of the sand, was a dark amber, but where it began to dry was a lighter peach. So, the story goes, Jan and I communicated back and forth as the drawing was developing.
The final outcome, with color, was not as she expected, and I have not a single issue when folks are not completely pleased, so I decided that I would re-do it, completely in gray scale. The jury is still out on my favorite and Jan is framing them both.

hello I like the idea of pencil drawing
her is my opinion how about making the couple in color and the background bw? or visa versa

During his visit to New Delhi last year, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on a civil nuclear cooperation. The nuclear agreement will allow Japan to export nuclear power plant technology to India. The deal will be unique in the sense that, first time in the history, Japan will export its nuclear technology to a non-NPT signatory state, India.
This is not going to be an easy assignment because there is a significant political resistance within Japan against any kind of nuclear deal with non-NPT signatory states. During the previous rounds of negotiations, Japan had consistently insisted on the "nullification clause" which would allow automatic freezing of India-Japan nuclear ties if New Delhi carried out any further nuclear tests. However, Japan expressed its satisfaction over India's voluntary moratorium on further nuclear testing. Yet, it seems quite difficult for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to justify discarding of the "nullification clause" in the Japanese parliament.
Japan, the only country to witness the ruinous consequences of nuclear attack has to ensure a robust mechanism to prevent India from using the Japanese nuclear technology to enhance its nuclear weapons capabilities. Japan has long been a proponent of global nuclear zero; hence, in past it refrained from signing a nuclear pact with non-NPT signatory states. A nuclear agreement with India will affect Japan's long standing against nuclear weapons development particularly when India is yet to sing nuclear nonproliferation regime.
Another problem that Japan would face in case of successful nuclear deal is the reprocessing of spent fuel which can be converted into nuclear weapons. India to reprocess nuclear fuel burned in a plant built with Japanese components and materials. In such a scenario, Japan needs to ensure that it has robust check on its nuclear technology particularly in context of Indian intentions to expand its nuclear arsenal by taking advantage of this pact.
Modi government at home is facing immense criticism for its nuclear pact with Japan. Soon after Fukushima disaster, much of the world constrained its dependence on nuclear energy. However, contrary to global trend, India has a vision to expend its nuclear program. India's nuclear power market is estimated at $150 billion and it aims to boost energy generated from atomic plants to a quarter of the total by 2050. It will be beneficial for Japan based nuclear conglomerates to fetch billions of dollars at a time when nuclear power is under severe criticism. There is a massive protest underway in India against existing nuclear power plants. People are worried because, In case of a nuclear accident Like Fukushima the lives of millions of poor Indians will be at risk.
There is another factor that softened Japan's tough stance on nuclear pact with India, the China factor and South China Sea dispute. Sino- Japanese relations have deteriorated over the past few years, and are likely to be exacerbated due to South China Sea dispute. Japan sees India as a reliable partner against China particularly in context of China's growing influence in South China Sea, a resource-rich strategic waterway through which more than $5 trillion of world trade is shipped each year. There are reports that India will take an anti-China stand against South China Sea dispute. That's the reason that Japan has relaxed its stance for a possible nuclear agreement with India.
However, a controversial Indo-Japan nuclear agreement will come up with a great cost. The agreement will pose serious questions on Japan's policy behavior towards Non-NPT signatory states as well as its commitments to the global nuclear disarmament. Being a major player in the nuclear energy market, Tokyo has to be cautious regarding its nuclear arrangements with New Delhi which lacks a convincing track record due to its nuclear explosion back in 1974 that used plutonium from a heavy water reactor gifted by Canadian government for peaceful purposes.
Prime Minister Abe is under immense pressure from nuclear lobbies at home as well as in India to conclude a nuclear agreement with non-NPT signatory state, but it will also be a difficult task to convince opposing political leadership in Parliament.

Every month my wife gets together with her friends for book club. Appropriately named, "Between the Wines", they have a great evening talking about the book (some) and life (a lot). In the end, it's as much an excuse to share life stories as it is to discuss the book. I think it's great.
For me, I'm passionate about reading entrepreneurial and/or inspirational books. I overwhelm my wife and my friends with the latest Guy Kawasaki book I'm reading or the biography of Theodore Roosevelt. It occurred to me that those with whom I share would have a great deal more to share if they too had read the book. So...I'm starting an entrepreneurial book club here in Keene. We'll read books like Good to Great, Art of the Start, The E-Myth Revisited, etc. It'll be a breakfast club where we share coffee and thoughts on both the books and our businesses. Really looking forward to it.

Do consumers behave as the life-cycle/permanent-income theory of consumption predicts?
Widely accepted theories of consumer behavior suggest that consumers act according to a lifetime budget, spending against future earnings so long as they are predictable. Yet this study finds that many consumers respond to changes in income only when they are realized. Furthermore, adjustment costs lead to deviations in the short run from the Life-Cycle/Permanent-Income path. ; These findings suggest that some temporary economic policies may have a larger impact on consumption than LC/PI theory predicts, since consumers do not or cannot spread out the effects over their lifetime. Conversely, permanent policies may have more sluggish results than the theories predict, as consumers require time to adjust consumption to the new level of lifetime resource

Strengthening Performance Management to Drive Outcomes
Measuring, monitoring and communicating how GSA operates against planned targets and goals leads to better results for customers and the public. Managing operations in this manner also allows GSA employees to understand how they contribute, what is expected of them, and how they are performing.
- A strategic, data-driven workforce that uses data to track progress toward planned goals and to envision what is possible for GSA in the near- and long-term.
- A well communicated performance cycle that adds value to organizational and individual performance planning as well as to GSA's budget process.
- A focus on GSA employees and their performance plans as the key to creating a culture of performance.
- A database that streamlines all reporting requirements and promotes data use through dashboards and other analytic tools.
Progress to Date
GSA has made major strides on performance management and is well positioned to make progress with this initiative in 2016 and beyond. GSA has created the Office of Strategy and Performance in the Office of the Chief Financial Officer to coordinate all performance activities across GSA and to improve the way we collect and leverage performance data. The Office of Strategy and Performance instituted quarterly performance reviews for each HSSO and assured that FY16 performance planning for each HSSO included quantifiable targets. Additionally, in 2015 OHRM created performance plan templates for common job series.
