In the long history of the Howard College-New Mexico Military Institute series, Howard has frequently won but just as frequently struggled against the Broncos.
Thursday night's latest edition of the rivalry was no exception. The Hawks eventually won, 72-64, but had to hold on for dear life late to secure the victory, which improved their record to 13-3 overall and 2-0 in Western Junior College Athletic Conference play.
Howard held double-digit leads in both halves, but watched the Broncos (7-9, 0-2) rally to make things close each time.

FORSAN — A power outage of sorts kept the Forsan Buffaloes and Lady Buffs out of the win column against Lubbock Roosevelt Tuesday night.
Defensively, both teams had their moments against Roosevelt, but it was a different story on the other end of the court, as offensive shortcomings plagued both teams — The Lady Buffs dropped a 59-27 decision, while the Buffaloes ended the night on the short end of a 51-38 score.
Forsan's girls fell to 12-11 overall and 2-6 in District 3-2A play, while the boys dropped to 11-10 and 2-4.
Girls Roosevelt 59 Forsan 27
The first quarter of Tuesday's District 5-3A basketball game between Sweetwater and Big Spring featured five lead changes and ended with the visitors up by just a point, 11-10.
Midway through the second quarter, it was still a contest as the Mustangs trailed by just three (17-14). But the Steers caught fire at that point, going on a 15-1 run to lead by 17, 32-15, at halftime, and never looked back en route to a 64-35 win at Mustang Gym.

SNYDER — Both Howard College basketball teams turned to defense to earn wins in their Western Junior College Athletic Conference-opening games against Western Texas College Monday night.
Howard's women limited WTC to only 30 percent shooting en route to a 48-39 victory, while the HC men held Western scoreless over a crucial five-minute stretch of the second half to take a 63-53 win.

BOYS — WOODROW — A fourth quarter rally would fall short for Lubbock Cooper, as Big Spring held on for a wild 59-57 win Tuesday night. The Steers were led by Marc Segundo in the non-district game with 18 points. Chazzell Robertson added 12 for Big Spring as well in the winning effort.
Big Spring outscored Lubbock in the first three quarters to take a 44-36 lead into the game's final frame, while holding Cooper to 12 points in each of the first three frames, Big Spring scored 16, 15 and 13 respectively.

Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse
Online Reservations
Was really looking forward to trying the lamb.... Had asked one of the server's if it was on the menu, he stated yes, halfway through the meal told a different server that we have yet to try the lamb but still nothing. 3 servers notified, and not one of them had gone out of their way to make sure the server with the lamb came over to our table. Other than that it was a great experience... doesn't not compare to the Brazilian restaurant in Vancouver "Samba" but then again... it's Edmonton!
The Service was outstanding ! We tried most of the meats, and lots of the Salad bar, really enjoyed the variety
I have been to several Brazilian Steakhouses before, in Canada and in the USA. This has been my best experience in Canada by far. Great salad bar selection - nice mix of items. The carnivore in me had a wonderful time as well. Service was exceptional and timely. I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant to others.
Pampas is aaaaaamazing!!! So tasty and a great dining experience!! Will definitely be going back! Most amazing little cheesy buns! And the mashed potatoes are to die for. There were 12 cuts of meat and I think I tried them all. My favorite was the bacon wrapped chicken. But the garlic steak and the Parmesan pork were both VERRRRY good as well. Only reason I gave 4* instead of 5 for service is that we had to ask twice for more cheesy buns cause the lady kept skipping us and had to ask to try the pork since the guys never brought it around our side of the room. We did not have room for dessert but they all looked and sounded heavenly! Book reservation after 6pm and you get free parking in parkade.
Pampa offers a delightfully different dining experience. The salad bar is not your run of the mill salad bar, but full of unique and wonderful fresh and creative selections. This Brazilian BBQ approach to meal service allows you to try a variety of beautifully prepared meats and eat as much as you wish. We tried quite a few at our table, (some of them more than two or three times!!) and every one of them was succulent, seasoned perfectly and simply delicious. They were not shy about offering meat selections to us! Our waiter was attentive, without being overbearing. The atmosphere was relaxed and enabled us to have pleasant conversation while we ate our way through all that Pampa offers. From drinks to desserts, a great place to dine.
We always love the experience we have at Pampa and this visit was no exception. The service is wonderful and the food is amazing. Just when you don't think you could have another bite, along comes the dessert menu with some real gems. I always find them to be refreshing and light after a large meal. We will definitely be back!
The food was fantastic, we were definitely very full when we left! Service was excellent, we never went a minute without being tended to if needed. Drink recommendations were great as well but if there was one thing that wasn't amazing, I guess it would be the noise level…we found it to be a bit too loud, at times I could't hear the waiter or even my friends around the table! Other then that, it was really great and we'll go there again!
We reserved a round table, perfect for the 8 of us. We could all talk and enjoy each other's company. The meat just keeps coming so don't worry if your plate is full you won't miss anything. Everything came back over and over. It was wonderful. I am celiac and all the meat is safe and most of the salad bar. The cheese buns on the table are also gluten free. Had a wonderful night and can't wait to go it again.
Good experience all around, but was surprised at the number of little people - seemed more like a family restaurant at times than a place for quiet dining. Some of the meats were wonderful and we felt that the buffet/salad bar was quite updated and improved from the last time we were there, which was shortly after it opened. Perhaps some small bowls/dishes for sauces like the hot papaya (?) could be added.
My wife and I went to Pampa's for our 7th anniversary dinner. It was a fantastic experience. From the food, to the environment, to the service. Everything was perfect. My wife and I were extremely happy with the experience. And we will go back, and plan to take friends to enjoy it next time!
Had a great time twice in one week- different groups! Wine on both occasions were excellent and a great compliment to all the different meat! Food was very good too.
It is a pricey place. But that is understandable when you realize you are getting an unlimited supply of meat brought to your table. Excellent food! Good for a special occasion. A unique dining experience (unlimited variety of meats served at your table) that you should try at least once
This was our first time at Pampa's and we were glad to have tried it. Very different from your usual dining experience. The food was delicious! In other reviews people complained about $2/person for water...if you are spending $50 a person anyway..it really doesn't matter. Our server had a good knowledge of the wine list and was able to recommend a great bottle for us. All of the cuts of meat were great with the exception of a couple of the beef cuts, which were a bit tough. The chicken and sausage were fantastic. Salad bar was good as well. We would go back.
We've been to Pampa twice now and we really, really enjoy it. The atmosphere is more for groups; it's good for parties. it's a little on the louder side but not so loud that it discourages conversation. It's just not a place for a quiet, romantic dinner. The food is unbelievable, the staff is extremely attentive, and the meal is an experience. As a side note for parents, this is NOT a restaurant for kids. I have kids that are 8 & 9 years old and I would never bring them here. The dining experience takes a good couple of hours and kids would be bored, plus with the focus of the meal being on meat (and a lot of it rare-cooked), many children just wouldn't enjoy it.
The buffett had a wide selection of food that go great with the type of meats that come around. The meats are excellent and well cooked. Great atmosphere accompanied by great service! Price does seem quite steep relative to coming in for lunch instead. Found not too much of a difference asides from the greater selection of meats in the evening. Could go for lunch and still be very satisfied! Otherwise, would highly recommend!
The food was tasty good variety of meats everything was tasty.
We enjoyed the Food and the Experience!! Wonderful friendly staff.. We can't wait to go back! It's our new FAVORITE place!
Best steakhouse I've ever experienced. Amazing meat. This is coming from a canadian beef producer. Service was great and the atmosphere was outstanding. Had the best night out in years.
This is one of the few great restaurants for someone on a low carb-diet in Edmonton; there's plenty of options accessible to us and we don't have to feel left out or cheat to have a great meal.
Our waitress was attentive and very friendly which usually lacks in a buffet style dining. The food was excellent with several options at the salad bar. The meat is delicious with the signature cuts being my favorite. The lamb and chicken are not the greatest although I make a point to try it every time I am there.
Rodizio restaurants are a favourite. For me, I'm a meat guy, and there is no shortage of meat here. For my wife, she's has to eat gluten free, and Rodizio restaurants are usually pretty good that way. Service was better than excellent. As soon as my wife identified herself as gluten free the waitress went through the list of meats and identified which ones to watch out for. She was also prompt with pop refills and other requests. Staff were professional and happy. The food was terrific. After the salad bar we flipped over our cards and a tsunami of meat started to arrive. Within minutes I had several different types of meat on my plate! Most of it tasted great. The only thing that didn't get a thumbs up was the lamb. Had a great time!
Very good selection of food, enjoyed it tremendously.
Another great date place for a night out. The red wine our server had picked was fantastic and went with our food amazily. Salad bar has some interested ting things but amazing. A must go to place
Another great time at Pampas. Out of town guests loved it!
Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse is a gem of a restaurant to have here in Edmonton. The service was awesome and the food was to die for. I would highly recommend Pampa to my friends and family. It was especially nice that the owner Oscar came to our table and talked to us. It was an amazing night and a highlight to our Anniversary.
My boyfriend and I went to pampa for the first time for a birthday dinner for myself, I'm nine months pregnant and thought I could out eat anyone so this whole 'ten meats selection' was going to be no problem. I left so full I could hardly move and every bite was worth the food baby! The salad bar is huge and so much to choose from, but be careful don't fill up on all that goodness, there's so much amazingly tender and juicy meat cuts to try! I'd recommend getting a couple things from the salad bar, then just grab a few more things throughout your dinner so that you have enough room. All the meats were cooked to perfection and were so good that both of us were trying to figure out if we could make any of them. We both were so impressed
Excellent food. Attentive staff. Excellent service.
This restaurant has an awesome salad bar and the choice of meats it superb. My only complaint would be at the salad bar the dishes weren't filled back up quickly.
This time they stuck us in the very back corner, which we really liked because it was private and quiet. The only downside was that we got forgotten because the server couldn't see us. Anyway. Still a great experience. The meat guys and the lady owner were super attentive as usual, especially to my partner's obsession with the garlic steak.
Best place to have dinner in Edmonton. Amazing selections of meat and a salad bar that is second to none. I look forward to coming here when ever I have the chance.
Food was great. Waitress service was attentive service and meat service was also attentive at the start of the meal but was lacking towards the end of the meal. Had to ask the waitress to send the meat carver to our table since he was ignoring us... after that the meat service was fine. Should not have had to ask the waitress to send the meat carver since our green tags were clearly visible to him. Otherwise lunch was great.
The atmosphere of the place was relaxed and enjoyable. The server came around every so often (not too little & not too often) to see how everything was going and if we needed anything. The choice of mear selection was nice, same with the salad bar. Would definately come back again.
All the selections of meats, porks and chicken they bring to the table are very tasty. They have a nice selection if different cocktails and drinks, a great salad bar and very friendly staff.
Very unique dining experience. Food was delicious!
Our waiter was great! He helped us with our wine and had a great attitude. no delay with service. I loved how they brought a candle on my boyfriends desert as it was his birthday. Can't wait to come back!
I did not realize there was no set menu, but more buffet style. So for the amount I ate, found it expensive. Service was excellent. It was quiet when we arrived at 6pm, but very busy at 7:30 when we left. I love the uniqueness of the restaurant.
Having been to Brazil and eaten at many Rodizios there this comes very close, even the salad bar has most of the exotic Brazilian dishes. The meat and service is very good, the only thing lacking is the Samba music and dancers. Highly recommend it if you don't want to travel all the way to Brazil and the Caipirinha is great.
I really enjoyed my birthday dinner at Pampa's. The service and food was exceptional and the price although pricey, was worth it. We were seated by a window and I was unfortunately seated directly below a cold air return, on a very snowy (blizzard) night, which truly was the only downside to an otherwise great night out. The concrete floor and the large windows do not in any way add to the warmth of the interior of this otherwise delicious eatery. I couldn't get out of there fast enough and that could very well be a clever 'moving of clientele' by the restaurant.
Fantastic again! We have been to this restaurant a couple times and it was just as good if not better than the last.
My husband booked this reservation to try something new. It was great for us as he is a big meat eater while I like to try a variety of things...this complimented both our food preferences. Service was good although a bit slower...it felt European as we weren't constantly interrupted during our dining experience which is nice if you're not in a rush or a needy diner. Although pricey, I feel it was worth the experience and great quality and variety of food. I would recommend Pampa for more adventurous diners or for those tired of the same routine. Also great for special occasions. Sagu dessert was fantastic! Planning a return soon.
Had a amazing meal - will definitely go there again and again - even kids enjoyed- must love meat or don't go- great price, worth every cent
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the step up of the entire restaurant .it was very Canadian friendly with the assortment of meat and the salad bar.also helped that there were double sets of doors so you were never cold.only bad thing I exspirienced was one of the specialty cocktails , it wasn't bad tasting but it was way too sweet that it was almost bitter.other then that very good place to go and I would go again for sure!
This was my first dinner at Pampa, having eaten lunch there once before. I was there with my wife and another couple. The service was very attentive with two servers assigned to look after us. That is in addition to those serving the meats at the table. With 10 different meats and an extensive salad bar, there are a lot of choices to satisfy and no one goes away hungry.
Our third time here and another outstanding experience. Everything was excellent!
Salad bar was great, meat was amazeballs!! Service was great too. Desert awesome. Pouring the liquor 43 from the chair, awesome!!
This was our first time to Pampa Brazilian Restaurant. The atmosphere and service were exceptional. The salad bar was great and the meat just kept on coming. It was very flavorful and almost melted in your mouth. The variety of meats was also unexpected. It was a special occasion for us and this was the right choice. Great food, Great service and Great atmosphere.
Excellent service and great food with an awesome atmosphere I will definitely be back
Need more choice for the food items. Just 2 kinds of lamb, 2 kinds of chicken, no pork chop, a lot of beef. After 2 rounds, we don't have too many choices for our dinner.
Excellent service, wine list. Food really good, the different kind of meat perfect. A good place for good meal
This place is a dream. The food is great, salad is all cold but the meat is great !

Hey Everyone – in my last post, I was responding to loads of contact about the song in our TV ad. Well, new ad; new song; loads more contact…
Somebody once told me that, in life, "the right thing to do, is always the right thing to do".
That's why we chose the current music track for our November and December TV adverts. It's a cover of a Steve Winwood track called Higher Love. And this unique, haunting and emotional version is sung by a fella called James Vincent McMorrow.
I stumbled across it after I saw him on Later with Jools Holland. Straight away I knew this was the right track for us, so I started digging. As it turns out, James and his record company are great people as well as great musicians. Because the best thing about all this is that proceeds from the use and sale of this track are going to a charity in Ireland called Headstrong.
I am very proud of that fact, and that we can support it by using the song. And we're delighted to have got involved with something that is (to my earlier point) the right thing to do.
Everybody wins here, basically, so if you want to find out more about the Headstrong charity, click here.
And if you want to hear James' Higher Love, here it is…

Posted: Dec 28, 2012 8:44 PM by CJ, The Associated Press
NEW DELHI (AP) - Doctors say a young Indian woman who was gang-raped and severely beaten on a bus in New Delhi has died at a hospital in Singapore.
A statement by Singapore's Mount Elizabeth hospital where the 23-year-old victim was being treated said she "died peacefully" early Saturday.
The horrific ordeal of the woman galvanized Indians, who have held almost daily demonstrations to demand greater protection from sexual violence, from groping to rape, that impacts thousands of women every day, but which often goes unreported.
She and a male friend were traveling in a public bus on Dec. 16 evening when they were attacked by six men who raped her and beat them both. They also inserted the rod in her body, stripped both naked and threw them off the bus on a road.

Bruce Clay, an SEO thought leader and educator since 1996, now offers marketing executives everything they need to know about SEO in 111 minutes in a FREE online training course. Executives can now learn the best practice methodology for SEO so they can recognize a song and dance when they hear one.
SIMI VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Even though Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) and senior marketing executives are 63% more familiar with SEO today than they were 12 months ago, the industry speed, growth, terminology and best practices are in a constant sea of Google change. Where does a CEO, CMO or senior marketing executive begin to cut through the meta tag jargon and learn the executive version of brass tacks SEO?

Bruce Clay introduces an 111-minute SEO course designed for busy executives, covering the "need to know" technical SEO and management issues to equip decision makers with an overall understanding of today's search engine optimization best practices, trends and factors. Bruce Clay's Executives Guide to SEO is available online, on demand, and for free at http://www.bruceclay.com/eseo.
"CMOs and other top executives need to be SEO advocates within their organizations," said Bruce Clay, president of Bruce Clay, Inc. "Without an understanding of what it takes, the boss will not be able to make crucial decisions that support a website's organic search success."
The 111-Minute Executives Guide to SEO covers:
"The course fills a need," Clay explained. "Looking at what's available online today, we realized there's not a good SEO training course geared for executives who don't have time or desire to learn the programming side of it."
Bruce Clay's Executives Guide to SEO provides basic technical background of issues affecting a website's ranking power. While many SEO courses offered today teach people the "how tos" of optimizing a website for search, executives have a different set of questions for which they need answers. They need to know what SEO involves so they can make informed decisions. Some technical understanding and background can help management speak the same language and understand the scope of SEO initiatives.

Choosing an energy drink or a sports hydration drink these days can be a little like throwing a dart blindfolded, you just never know what you are going to get. Well it is time to take the blindfold off and grab a Golazo and try a sports drink that will change the way you view sports drinks forever.
A soccer mindset, a little inspiration and the desire to get it right led to the creation of Golazo. Golazo co-founders Richard Tait and Alex Rosenast were looking to change the world of sports drinks that is known for poor taste and even worse ingredients.
"I noticed kids on the soccer field mixing Red Bull and Gatorade, trying to get a combination of energy and hydration and I thought there had to be something better than that," Richard said. "I wanted a healthy alternative and wanted to create a phenomenal product, so we went through multiple focus groups and had soccer players give us feedback on the taste until we got it right."
What they came up with was two all-natural product lines and chose the Spanish term "Golazo" as the name, which means "super goal." First there was Golazo All Natural Sports Energy, launched in March 2011, and that was followed up by Golazo All Natural Sports Hydration, which came out in February of this year.
Unlike a beverage market that is saturated with drinks that seemingly are the same, there is nothing typical about Golazo. The energy drink comes in Jamaica, Mandarina, Mango Limon and Sugar-Free. I will say this is the best taste Sugar-Free product on the market. I normally would turn away from these beverages due to the poor taste as well as the aftertaste, but this is not the case with Golazo. You would have a hard time even knowing that it is Sugar-Free. The hydration drinks come in the following flavors; Jamaica, Limonada, Mandarina and Mango Limon, all are refreshing and perfect for any type of workout. An all-natural, non-gmo drink that contains coconut water, organic agave syrup as a sweetener and less sodium than your typical drink, they all taste as good as they sound.
While Golazo does not have the advertising and marketing budget of Red Bull or Gatorade, they have a passion from their love of soccer and an insight unlike these behemoth companies that are more focused on the dollar sign than what the customer truly is looking for.
"We noticed three big trends coming together; increasing enthusiasm in soccer, increasing influence of the Latino community and the move towards natural products," Richard said. "The flavor profiles came from insight from within the Latino community, we started with Latin fused flavors that have a little flare with their passion."
Golazo does not just talk about soccer, they live it. From giving out Golazo at Seattle Sounder soccer games, to supporting a variety of soccer groups, such as the Seattle Street Soccer Team and finally making it part of the workplace. They took a converted BMW dealership and created a 75-foot by 25-foot indoor soccer field fashioned out of painted carpet. This makes for some competitive lunchtime games and also home to some amazing soccer parties hosted by Golazo. Some nights you will find three-on-three matches with a DJ in the background.
Golazo is currently being sold in the Seattle area but is looking to branch out and should be hitting the Southern California market sometime this summer. In the meantime you can try Amazon.com but check often because Golazo is such a hit that they are often sold out. The first day they went national last July, they sold out within 24 hours. Also make sure to check out Golazo on Facebook, Twitter as well as a number of great videos they have posted on YouTube.
Next time you are looking for a drink take the blinders off and reach for a Golazo. You are in for a surprise from the first drink and there is no question that it won't be your last and you might just love it so much you might let out a "GOLAAAAAZOOOO!!"

How We Began
Meet The Founder
What We Believe
Since our start in 1995, The Good Home Co. has always believed in using natural ingredients whenever possible. We not only take great care to create unique home care and laundry products that work great and smell exceptional, but we are committed to using cleaning surfactants that are biodegradable, vegetable based and phosphate free as much as we can. And, from the very beginning, we have always tested on good people, not good animals.
If you've purchased our products before, you know that you can rely on our fragrance quality and potency. This is because we use very high quality fragrances in our products and we also use a lot of them. We also use essential oils as an ingredient in some of our fragrances, however in some of our cleaning and laundry products, we also include man-made ingredients. We believe that scent has the power to enrich our lives and we do not want to be limited to a few essential oils, as there are just a handful that are truly pleasing to smell. If you are an essential oil enthusiast, one of our favorite products is our Lavender Sheet Spray, which is made with essential oil of Lavender.
Lately "organic" products have become popular in the market place, however none of our products would be deemed organic. Why? Because while some of the ingredients we use may be deemed organic, unless 100% of our ingredients (such as soaps) are "grown" within strict organic codes, then our product cannot be called "organic." We use "grown" food items, but we also use other ingredients as well, such as water and soaps, that simply cannot be "grown." We hold ourselves to high ethics and will not deceive our customers with claims that do not pertain to our products, no matter how trendy they currently are.
We hope you enjoy our products as much as we enjoy making them, and we always welcome your questions and comments. If there are any questions not covered here, you are always welcome to contact us. We do our best to answer each and every question promptly. Thank you for your support of our products.

Subaru WRX STI 2004-2005, CW-Style Carbon Fiber Side Skirts (SS0405SBIMP-CW) by SEIBON®, 1 Pair. Give your car a high-tech aerodynamic look with these carbon fiber side skirts. Side skirts minimize the amount of air flowing under the car, and make it look like it's "hugging" the road. Whether you're a racer or just want to look the part, you can depend on SEIBON for style, performance, light weight and durability. SEIBON components are carefully hand-crafted using only the finest materials.
- Finished in glossy clear coat that will not chip or flake
- Aerodynamically designed
- One-piece carbon sheet construction for consistent weave pattern
- Exceptional carbon/resin ratios for high stiffness and extra product strength
- Manufactured from the highest grade carbon fiber raw material
- Up to 50% lighter than original panel
- Over 15 years' experience creating carbon fiber components
- 6-month limited clear coat warranty
- This product is designed for style and performance. Please be aware of your local laws and regulations
SEIBON creates performance oriented carbon fiber body panels that save weight, add style and are durable enough to hold up under grueling racing conditions. The production team at SEIBON has over 15 years' experience, and they use the latest cutting-edge technology to manufacture hand-laid or vacuum infused carbon fiber panels.
Construction starts with the highest grade carbon fiber raw material, the same kind used in aviation, satellites and rockets. All SEIBON panels are made with 1-piece carbon sheet, so appearance and strength are not impaired by the broken lines and patterns characteristic of multiple sheets put together. The carbon sheet is supported by a fiberglass "skeleton", but SEIBON builds the carbon sheet into the mold so it doesn't break and split, like inferior carbon fiber panels where the carbon is only wrapped around the skeleton.
SEIBON uses a clear coat finish, for a shiny, durable "wet" look, as opposed to the duller finish found on panels with a gel-coat finish. A special mix of high-tech resin results in excellent transparency with no clear coat chips or flakes. SEIBON's construction process also utilizes a high carbon/resin ratio, for exceptional product stiffness and high strength. The end result is a strong, durable, attractive panel that will look great on your car and weigh up to 50% less than the original panel.
Once created, all SEIBON carbon fiber components are meticulously inspected for quality and to ensure fitment. However, the buyer should understand that no aftermarket body part will fit exactly like the original equipment part. Some products may require minor modifications, and minor adjustments may be necessary as part of the normal installation process. We recommend professional installation by an installer familiar with the installation of aftermarket carbon fiber components. If parts are to be painted they should be pre-fit to the vehicle before painting because painted products cannot be returned.
To prevent damage to carbon fiber hoods and trunks/hatches, SEIBON recommends that the stock springs or shocks/dampers/struts not be reinstalled. SEIBON also recommends that hood pins be installed for safety when installing a carbon fiber hood.
SEIBON will replace any carbon fiber component that exhibits heavy cloudiness under the clear coat or has a clear coat bubble larger than 3/8". They will also replace any panel where the clear coat changes more than a full shade within 6 months. Slight fading and discoloration over time is natural. To preserve carbon fiber hood finish, SEIBON recommends that the heat shield from the original hood be transferred to the carbon fiber panel, or that an aftermarket heat shield product be installed.
612.00Brand: SEIBON Part Number: SS0405SBIMP-CWSEIBON® Carbon, a division of SEIBON International, Inc., specializes in the design and manufacture of high-quality carbon fiber automotive body components such as hoods, trunks, fenders, and aerodynamic body additions such as rear spoilers and side skirts.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
A man is in jail Tuesday morning after the SWAT team surrounded his home.
El Paso County Sheriff Deputies arrested 26 year old Kevin O'Rourke around 4am. The arrest happened on Huntington Beach Drive, that's north of the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
Deputies say they were trying to pick up O'Rourke on an arrest warrant around 8:30 Monday night, but he wasn't cooperating. That's when Deputies called in their SWAT team. They used tear gas and broke through the front door. Deputies found O'Rourke hiding inside the home and took him into custody.
O'Rourke was wanted on charges of sexual assault and kidnapping.

Agricultural summary
Most of the state experienced warmer and drier weather than normal last week. Rainfall late in the week delayed the final fieldwork for some portions of the state with an average of 5.0 days suitable for fieldwork. Temperatures averaged 46.6 degrees statewide, 3 degrees above normal. Rainfall averaged 0.25 degrees, 0.47 inches below average. Topsoil moisture levels have largely recovered from the effects of the drought, with 4 percent rated as surplus, 78 percent adequate, 15 percent short, and only 3 percent very short.
There are only a few stands of corn or soybeans left to be harvested as 99 percent of the corn crop and 98 percent of the soybean crop have been harvested. Eighty one percent of the winter wheat has emerged, compared to 84 percent last year; the five-year average is also 81 percent. The sorghum crop is 99 percent harvested. With harvesting activities virtually complete, most farmers have turned their attention to tillage, fertilizer applications, preparing equipment for harvest and planning for next year.

Bear Aware will do a late-night garbage-can blitz to remind Kamloops residents they need to be ever vigilant in preventing bear-human clashes.
The campaign follows the killing of a mother bear and one of her three cubs this past weekend after the sow became aggressive and charged a conservation officer. The two surviving cubs have been sent to a wildlife rehabilitation centre.
Provincial Bear Aware co-ordinator Frank Ritcey said Wednesday despite the recent flurry of bear-family sightings in Kamloops and the surrounding region this year, the bruin problem hasn't been much different than other years.
While the most recent human-bear encounter did not end well for the bears, the fact is there have not been more bear complaints than usual.
That one bear family prompted several of the 335 black-bear calls made to officials between Jan. 1 and Sept. 19 of this year, compared with 442 during the same period last year, he said.
"Things have picked up in the last couple of weeks, so people get the sense there's more bears being seen. But it was a wet spring, so there was lots of grass that bears fed on when they first came out. Then there was a good natural berry crop. So the bears had lots of natural foods to get into," said Ritcey.
At this time of the year, bears are trying to fatten up for winter and they're seeking out fall fruit harvests, bird feeders and trash cans to do so. They need 20,000 calories a day — about 40 Big Macs, or 2.5 kilograms of birdseed.
"They're not going to make it eating berries only," he said.
"We as citizens of Kamloops have to take our responsibility. I see so much garbage out before collection day. That's just an open invitation for the bears.
"Garbage is the number one attractant in Kamloops."
Darcy MacPhee, acting inspector for B.C. Environment Ministry's conservation service, said the latest bear family casualties had already been relocated, only to make their way back to town.
The mother and her three cubs hung around McArthur Island this summer, but were trapped three weeks ago and taken about 20 miles north of the city past the McLure area. The adult female was ear tagged.
On Friday, his office got a call that a female and three cubs were at Riverside Park.
"We heard about someone who ran into these bears and was chased a short distance by the sow."
Another sighting was called in Saturday. By Sunday afternoon, the family had crossed the river and returned to McArthur Island.
"Sunday couldn't have been a worse time. It was 3 p.m. and the park was full, there were soccer games on and hundreds of people around," he said.
By the time conservation officers arrived, the mother bear was on one side of a fence and her three cubs on the other — the separation and presence of people was making the female anxious.
She chased after one of the officers, who shot her on the spot. The three cubs were treed and tranquillized with darts.
MacPhee said two of the cubs came down and were loaded into a holding trap. The third wasn't reacting to the drug as it should have, and two other darts were fired.
The tranquillizing didn't work, so the conservation officer made the call to shoot it, he said.
"The officer involved beat himself up over it, but he did what he could. It doesn't always go as planned," he said.
"To be honest, it's terrible. It's bad enough to put down a full adult bear. Certainly if it's behaving aggressively and a threat to the public it's a little easier, but it's still a live, beautiful animal. But when you have to put down a cub, that's a tough thing on the officer."
The two surviving cubs were sent to North Lights Wildlife Society, a rehabilitation organization that will take the young bears, fill them with fruits and then wild meat and fish until hibernation. They'll release the
"We've sent six cubs this year. I've never seen that in my career," said MacPhee, noting with the latest pair, the total is eight bears to Northern Lights. Two were from Merritt and two from the Adams Lake area.
"It's a disappointing ending but it's not one we're surprised about. I'm pleased we managed to save the two."

Simple, clean, contemporary and surprisingly sturdy, the Overlea White Plastic Modern Dining Chairs have given our kitchen a quick and easy (and quite affordably priced) breath of fresh air. They are used every day and have stood up well to a busy, hectic family with five kids, two dogs, three cats and a parrot. And believe me, all have used these chairs. Thankfully, they clean up really easily and are stackable, too.
We purchased 3 packs of these chairs for our contemporary glass dining table. They look great & are a smaller scale than the wooden chairs we previous had so they make our eat in kitchen feel larger! The look is sleek & modern. We did have some missing parts for one of the chairs & one of the chair backs was damaged during shipping. Customer Service prompty solved this problem by sending a replacement for both. The chairs do "give" a little if you lean back but I feel they are good quality for the price. We are very happy with our first purchase from Overstock.com & will certainly shop there in the near future.
These are fantastic utility chairs that are perfect for having as extra seating whenever the need arises. Stackable, molded, light and super easy to maintain, these chairs don�t take up a lot of room. In fact, we normally have them in a closet, and when we have a dinner party, out they come! Their minimal look goes with pretty much anything. We have two sets and we use them regularly.
I bought several of these sets for the conference room of my small design studio and they are just perfect. Since space is a huge premium, when they are not in use, they are neatly stacked and placed in a closet. When we need more seating, they don�t take up too much space and they go very well with the minimal d�cor of the office. White and chrome is a combo that always looks good.
I absolutely LOVE these chairs. They went together quickly and easily with only one person and look very stylish and modern in my dining room. Also, they easily stack for storage and they are very comfortable. They supported my 300+ lb relative for a long dinner with no problem.
These chairs were exactly what I was looking for. I finally found them a t a good price at Overstock. Thanks!
The product came on the time stated and in great condition. It was great looking, exactly like in the pictures.
They come with a million screws and weird little plastic plugs. No directions. One of them had a defect in the back, almost like it was melted on the production line. Overstock sent a new chair right away, no questions asked. easy to put together but I didn't use the plugs.
These chairs are really great looking for the price and exactly what I needed for an apartment without a dining area. I also purchased the black tokyo console table to go with them and they look great together. However, the delivery on these chairs was a mess. The box literally had a gaping hole in it and all the parts were (little screws and washers) just floating all over the place. Luckily the chairs were easy to figure out assembly because the directions were missing and so was some of the hardware needed. I actually was short some washers and had to pick some up at the hardware store. Overall, I am happy with the chairs they look great and are the perfect size. We even spilled some stuff on them and they clean up easy and perfect. Like some customers mention the backs are flexible not stiff so if you think that's going to bother you then I wouldn't get these.
I bought these chairs for my office area. I wanted something mid-century modern and fun, while still being fairly comfortable. These chairs were the perfect choice. The back of the chair actually gives a little, softening the feel of the chair and makes it very comfortable. I paired them with a modern black leather fouton and it gave the room some "pop". I can see adding them to a modern dining room table as well. Very happy with this purchase.

Special General Memorandum 86-1
The Indian Health Service (IHS) has instituted a new identification procedure for Headquarter's initiated memorandums which are to be classified as "Special General Memorandums" (SGM). Such correspondence will usually include directives on those items where subject material identifies, interprets, designates and/or reiterates policy or policy related matters and to which special attention must be given. Each SGM will be designated with a unique identification number located in the upper right corner of the page. The unique number will consist of the abbreviation SGM followed by fiscal year and numerical sequence, ex. SGM 86-l. In addition, the Headquarter's office that initiated the memorandum, ex. OD/PRS, will be typed flush with the left margin, two lines below the last line of the signature. Area/Program Offices are expected to retain copies of all SGM's in sequence for ready reference. If there are any questions on the above, please call Dr. G. Verrone at 443-1083.

Elections Have Consequences….or My Smackdown of Michelle Bernard. [Update--Bernard Admits to voting for Obama--Case Closed!!]
Last night, Michelle Bernard, who is the CEO of the Independent Women's Forum, a conservative women's group founded in 1992, decided to write a diary for Redstate.com endorsing the DC voucher program. Well, Ms. Bernard's diary was actually quite good—she made a rational and eloquent argument for school choice. However, my problem is with Ms. Bernard herself, not what she stated in her diary.

Yo, I'm LoveAnime18, just your average anime nerd.
I'm and 18 years old and now an official college student.
For those of you who wish to know, I currently attend Rutgers University.
Still reading? Wow, I'm impressed.
Since you're so interested in me, I'll continue on.
My favorite anime series is Yuu Yuu Hakusho.
Kurama is my favorite anime character aka the love of my life.
I am a true supporter of YukixTohru.
And I'm also obsessed with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.
In my free time I like to draw, write, create AMVs and work on cosplay. Especially cosplay XD
I've been making AMVs since Oct. 2005 and according to one of my friends I have an actiony style.
The shounen side of me prevails over all XD
I know, there has been a lack of my making AMVs lately.
But I have not retired in the AMV making.
I'm actually working on a new project now.
.:Recent News:.
I hate to say this but recently my external drive died.
So all the projects I started have been lost.
To sum it all up, aside from the current project I'm working on now,
all my AMV projects are bye bye.
So I may never finish those other projects.
Re-ripping YYH is gonna be a pain, I know it -_-'''

Early in your career is the perfect time to start a habit of saving for retirement because you have one huge advantage you'll never get again-time.
Investing Opportunities
An employer-sponsored contribution retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b), works by you electing to have money automatically deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis.
401(k) or 403(b)
- Try to save at least 10 percent pre-tax income in your plan, up to the limit the plan allows.
- If 10 percent is too much on a tight budget, a smaller percentage can still make a dramatic difference.
- If your employer matches your contributions, try to contribute at least enough to maximize the match-typically up to six percent of your salary.
- Saving six percent matching means you immediately double your savings.
- Don't cash out your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan when you change jobs. You'll pay income taxes and a penalty tax on the withdrawal. In addition, you'll lose the ability for the money to grow tax deferred. Roll it over into a self-directed retirement plan, such as an IRA, or transfer it to your new employer's retirement plan.
Please Note: If your employer offers a Roth 401(k), be aware that the employer's matches will be made with pre-tax dollars, but your contributions will be made with after-tax dollars.
Traditional IRA
A tax-deductible option is a traditional IRA. Through 2008, you can put up to $5,000 annually into one (up to $10,000 as a couple), with additional increases after that. Or, you currently can contribute up to $5,000 annually in after-tax dollars to a Roth IRA, with the advantage that earnings generally avoid taxation. In addition, you can put unlimited amounts into taxable investment accounts and start building your portfolio of stocks, mutual funds, annuities and other investments.
Self-employment Options
If you're self-employed, you have more tax-deferred choices. You can open a solo 401(k) plan, simplified employee pension (SEP), savings incentive match plan for employees (SIMPLE) or Keogh plan. You can find more information about these types of retirement plans at the IRS Web site (www.irs.gov).
Investment Types
What types of investments should you use for your retirement plan? That depends on several factors, including your tolerance for risk, your overall financial situation, job stability and so on. In general, however, most experts say that a younger age, you can probably afford to invest as aggressively as your comfort level allows. Dollar-cost averaging-investing the same dollar amount each month-is another way to build wealth over the long-term.

E-Retailers Feeling Holiday Cheer From Consumers In 2009
December 14, 2009: Although many retailers are feeling the pinch of consumers dealing with the economy, online spending during the 2009 holiday season is up, albeit slightly, from 2008. During the holiday season, retail e-commerce spending for the first 41 days of the November–December 2009 period has hit $19.9 billion, with two individual days surpassing $800 million in spending, according to digital marketing and resource company comScore, Reston Va.
Online consumers spent $887 million on Cyber Monday, Nov. 30 and $886 million the next day, Dec. 1. comScore said that the first $900 million one-day online spend could happen Dec. 14, which also is known as Green Monday, defined as the Monday at least ten days prior to Christmas. According to comScore, online spending during the first 41 days of the period was up 3% versus the corresponding days last year. In addition, online spending during the week of Dec. 5-11, 2009, was up 4% versus year ago, from $4.5 million to $4.6 million. One factor: Hanukkah this year began the night of Dec. 11; in 2008, Hanukkah began the night of Dec. 21.
comScore lists Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2008 as the No. 1 single biggest online spending day ever, with its $887 million topping Nov. 30, 2009 by percentage points. The top five days also include Green Monday, Dec. 10, 2007 ($881 million) and Green Monday, Dec. 15, 2008 ($859 million). This order could change if comScore predictions are accurate.
"Dec. 14 is likely to produce our heaviest online spending total for the season and represents our best opportunity to surpass [the] $900 million spending threshold."
"Although this most recent week of holiday shopping did not produce the first $900 million spending day, we saw above average growth rates including a strong end to the week," Gian Fulgoni, comScore chairman, said in a statement. "Monday, Dec. 14 — otherwise known as Green Monday — is likely to produce our heaviest online spending total for the season and represents our best opportunity to finally surpass that elusive $900 million spending threshold."
comScore said that online spending would still be heavy through the week ending Dec. 18, but that traditional stores should expect an increase of consumers in the final week before Christmas.
"The early part of this upcoming week should bring us the heaviest online spending days of the season before consumers refocus their attention on brick-and-mortar retail locations to finish up their holiday shopping," said Fulgoni."


text: Home History Adopted in Louisiana and Looking for Kin? Tracing Your Roots: It's a closed-record state, and Katrina complicated things, but don't give up. By: Henry Louis Gates Jr. Posted: April 6 2013 12:01 AM 0 Generic image (Thinkstock) (The Root) -- The search for family roots takes on a special intensity for individuals who were adopted and don't know their birth parents. Find out why this woman's husband doesn't feel like a "free black man in America." "I am writing you with hope in my heart that you could assist us locating my husband's roots. My husband was supposedly born to an unmarried, lightly colored black woman in New Orleans on May 2, 1941, at Flint-Goodrich Hospital. She was allegedly raped by a married black servant who worked for the same white family as her. At 18 months of age, my husband supposedly developed severe asthma, and his birth mother was unable to provide the necessary care for him. Through a mutual friend, a stable, black married couple came to the rescue and agreed to take over the care and custody and informally adopt him. No legal documents were signed by the parties. My husband's birth mother stayed in the area for a while, found a suitor whom she married, and then they moved to Denver with her new husband and family. We are led to believe that her next two children were born in Louisiana before the move to Colorado. I am of white ancestry and have been able to trace my roots to my European relatives. Since meeting and marrying my husband, I thought it would be beneficial for him to locate his birth mother. In 1977, we made a pilgrimage to Denver and met his birth mother and her family. His half-sister Louise told my husband to ask whatever questions he had for his birth mother. When my husband posed his questions to his birth mother, she was most reluctant to provide any real substantive information about the circumstances of his birth. My husband reasoned that perhaps after she got to know our family better, then perhaps she might be more forthcoming with the particulars of how he became born and informally adopted. Over the ensuing years, his birth mother sent Easter and Christmas cards with brief notes and occasional letters inside. We politely inquired about extended family members and telephoned on special occasions. Nothing that my husband did changed their view of him or his family. About 10 years ago, we no longer received her annual Christmas card. I performed some research and discovered that his birth mother died, without notification from either of his half-siblings. At this point in time, it is clear to both of us that his siblings desire to have nothing to do with our family. We accept their decision. My husband only desires to better understand his roots. Unfortunately, 9/11 and Katrina took place and with them more stringent and restrictive measures for individuals to research their roots in Louisiana, a closed-record state. I have spent days and hours utilizing Ancestry.com -- with no success -- trying to locate my husband's birth mother's maiden name, Rose Bailey, born 09/02/1919, or finding a Louis/Lewis Marks born in Mississippi in approximately 1909. We performed the DNA test and uncovered that my husband is 76 percent West African, 18 percent British Isles and 6 percent Eastern European. Understandably, my husband doesn't totally feel like a 'free black man in America' when he is prevented from finding his basic roots. We sincerely hope that you can provide us with some leads." --Patricia E. Bowles, on behalf of Julius Frank Bowles From what you have explained, your husband should be able to order his birth record and that of his mother (if she was also born in the state) directly from Louisiana's Center of State Registrar & Vital Records at the Department of Health & Hospitals for the State of Louisiana. Since his adoption was informal, it is likely that his original birth record was not sealed. These certificates can be ordered online or by mail. As you say, Louisiana is a closed-record state, but that simply means that for records less than 50 years old, the person ordering the records needs to prove their identity (typically with photo identification like a driver's license).
