This wah cries with versatility.
Bob Bradshaw of Custom Audio Electronics designed the MXR MC-404 CAE Dual Inductor Wah Pedal with the Cry Baby design team to create a highly versatile wah-wah with top-grade components. The MC404 CAE Wah features dual Fasel inductors with 2 distinct voices (high-end emphasis or low-to-mid resonance), and a built-in MXR MC-401 Boost/LineDriver that adds even more flexibility.
Choose between inductors and turn the boost on or off with the side-mounted kickswitches. Bright LEDs on each side of the wah indicate operation status. The MC404 CAE Wah boasts true hardwire bypass, a long-life CTS potentiometer, and internal pots for the Q control—which varies the intensity of the wah effect—and gain adjustments. You get the high performance and quality that you expect from Dunlop, the world leader in wah-wah technology.
Bob Bradshaw has been one of the world's foremost designers of custom guitar pedalboards and effects systems for many of rock's most influential guitarists for 3 decades. And for just as long, MXR and Cry Baby have been synonymous with the effects pedal innovations that have shaped the tone of modern electric guitar playing. So it was only natural for them all to join forces to create a dynamic line of pedals offering the ultimate in tone, functionality and road-worthy dependability. Since 1980, CAE's groundbreaking pedal designs were made in limited quantities only for a select clientele of world-class guitarists. But now these very same devices and circuits are available to all.

Transporting your bikes goes off without a hitch when you use the Thule Raceway Platform. This tray-style, trunk-mounted 2-bike rack offers easy loading, keeps bikes separated with frame clamps and secures to your trunk with a locking knob.
The Thule Raceway Platform two-bike carrier gives you the convenience of a wheel-mount-style carrier even if you don't have a trailer hitch. The tray-mount design allows for bike loading and unloading at a lower, more manageable height, and the telescoping base adjusts to carry a variety of bikes, including children's. Adjustable bike-frame clamps grab each bike at the top tube or seat post, keeping your bicycles separated and secure. The clamps also lock to secure your bikes to the carrier.
The Raceway uses Thule's patented FitDial system to ensure a snug fit on your Mazda 6 and to make installation a snap. The included instructions indicate which FitDial number is right for your Mazda 6; simply lift the lever and adjust the arm until the arrow lines up with the right number.
Sure-Tight ratcheting cables are extremely sturdy and provide outstanding security for your bicycles. They require only four attachment points for safe use, unlike standard straps, which require six attachment points. Having fewer straps makes it easier for you to put the rack on and take it off as needed. The installation instructions indicate the best attachment points for your Mazda 6. Hook the cables around the trunk panel, then tighten them by turning one of the oversize ratcheting knobs. The locking knob keeps the cables in place and deters would-be thieves when your trunk is closed.
The locking clamps and locking knob both use Thule's One Key System lock cylinders, so they lock with the same key. These cylinders can also be changed out to make all your Thule products keyed alike.
The bike rack folds up for storage or for those times when you're not carrying bikes but don't want to remove the carrier.

Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer
installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today on our 2013 Chevy Cruise we'll be test fitting the Thule Raceway platform style trunk mounted 2-bike carrier, part number TH9003. Now before we begin our test fit, we will first need to refer to the Thule Fit Guide or the included instructions to determine what number our fit dial should be at. After setting our fit dial, we'll place the carrier onto the vehicle. We'll put the top hook to the top part of the trunk, and the bottom hook to the bottom part of the trunk. You may need to open your trunk to get the bottom hooks into position. We'll then tighten down the gray knobs on the left and right hand side of the carrier to secure the carrier to the vehicle.
With the carrier secured to the vehicle, we're ready to load our bike. We'll raise the frame hooks and lower the platform. We'll undo the frame hook, loosen up the tray straps, and unlock the trays to slide them out. We'll set the bike onto the wheel trays, adjust the frame hook tightly against the frame, adjust the wheel trays, lock them in position, and secure with the straps. And that completes today's test fit for the Thule Raceway platform style trunk mounted 2-bike carrier, part number TH9003..
Average Customer Rating: 3.0 out of 5 stars (8 Customer Reviews)

Again too heavy. Damaged Jetta Sedan (mk5 2010) with two bikes installed by leaving two dents in the bumper. Even when only one is mounted a small dent is left. Based on the installation the dent may not get worse but still the damage has now been done.19022
by: Kevin L06/28/2011
It's just way too heavy. It damaged my bumper and trunk lid. I think the weight of bikes and the rack together is way too much for a passenger car to handle. The pulling force on the upper straps are strong enough to lift my 2011 Infiniti G37 sedan's trunk lid by 1/2 inch even before driving around. Just imagine what will happen when driving on bumpy roads. I just took it off and returned it and paid a huge return shipping fee including the original shipping fee. This rack is WAY TOO HEAVY. Or at least it should say it DOES NOT FIT my G37.18055
by: Brian C05/08/2013
This carrier is heavy, so you won't be using it casually, and the instruction sheet for setting it up for my car ( the entire make) was missing. Thule customer service resolved the second problem, with apologies. Other than that, the everything is positive. The carrier is sturdy, extremely well built and engineered, and unlike other trunk carriers, keeps the bike well away from the car. No marks at all from the contact points on my new black clear coated car. Set up was simple, once you gut the weight balanced.. Very satisfied 79469
by: Anna07/18/2011
I had the same problem with my 2010 Toyota Camry. This rack fit well and seemed like a great idea. The first time I used this rack, the weight of the rack and mountain bike caused my trunk to open going over speed bumps creating two large dents in my bumper. I would not recommend this rack.19617
by: Marty07/18/2011
I installed this rack, per the instructions, on my girlfriends 2010 Camry. She transported her bike three hours away for the weekend. When she returned I took off the rack and was horrified to see two large dents on the top of her rear bumper (where the rack supports rest)!! Rack is too heavy and it WILL dent the bumper! If you have car from pre 1980 with steel bumper, this rack might work. The rack itself works well, but can't get past the two huge dents in an "almost" new car.19605

Recognizing whether your plumbing fixtures have leaks as early as possible is very important to avoid future problems that will cost you more money on repairs and even reconstructions. Through water leak detection, you can make earlier and affordable measures to resolve problems in water leaks.
You know you have serious house leaks when you see water stains on your wall or see some under your kitchen's sink. Water stains can mean that your house might have a rotten roof, floorboard, or pipes. Long term leaks which are undetected can even cause serious damage to your home's interior from appliances, fixtures, to furniture. On top of that, the moisture from leaks can further lead to much dangerous problems like molds. When it comes to leaks, it's wise not to take any chances.

One of the best places to start when checking for leaks and water damage is the kitchen as it is where water is frequently used.

InsureMe-On-Line is a leading provider of life insurance in the UK.
A simple look at some of the terms that the life insurance world uses to confuse you.
Term Assurance with the built in option to 'convert' the policy into something different, such as a Whole of Life policy, in the future.
Another word for policy.
This means that the sum assured you are covered for goes down gradually over the policy term
A stipulation that the policy will not cover for i.e. an activity, event or illness
Instead of paying a one-off lump sum this type of cover provides a tax-free annual or monthly income until the end of term specified at outset. Following death, this pays out a regular income for the remainder of the term. You can choose a level amount or an income which increases each year.
Where an employer or sports team or union, takes out a policy covering the life of employees or members
Rates will stay the same throughout the term of the policy.
This means that the sum assured you are covered for goes up gradually over the policy term. Often by a set percentage or linked to recognised indices
Policies can be linked to inflation where premiums and benefits increase annually
These are life insurance policies that pay out if either you or your partner dies first. Once the claim has been paid, the policy ceases.
These are life insurance policies that pay out on the death of the second policyholder. Nothing is paid out if the first policyholder dies and there will only be a payout if the second policyholder dies within the term of the policy.
Life cover taken out by a business to protect it against the unexpected death of a key person, owner, director or senior employee.
Life assurance is exactly the same product as life insurance.
This means that the sum assured you are covered for will not change throughout the term of your policy.
A life insurance quote will tell you how much cover you may get and how much it may cost. This will depend on a number of factors such as age, smoker status and the term length you require.
Similar to a quote but is often a rough price guide .A full quote may need a complete proposal form and other information
Where terms, acceptance and price vary depending on your and your family's medical history. Information obtained by proposal, as well as questions online, in mail and on phone. Information from your GP may be requested
Term Life cover where the lump sum reduces in line with the mortgage over time.
A business life cover for partnerships for surviving partners to fund the purchase of a deceased partner's interest in the business.
The monthly/annual amount you pay for cover
Covers the cost of premiums during periods of ill health and/or unemployment. Usually kicks in after six months. Can be included or an optional extra
Short-term life cover that can be renewed without medical underwriting every 5-10 years. This gives you the option, at the end of the original term, to extend the policy for a further term. The new premiums will be based on your age at the time you take up the option. But it does not reflect any change in health - your state of health is assumed to be the same as it was when you took out the original policy
Reviewable rates can be increased at the insurer's discretion (usually every five years)
Shareholder Protection life cover is for businesses and enables funds to be available in the event of the death of a shareholder.
The sum assured is the amount of life insurance which would be paid out on your death.
The payout on death may be described as tax-free. This means that benefits will be paid out free of income and capital gains tax. However, your dependents may have to pay inheritance tax unless your policy is written in trust.
A term is the number of years you are covered for under the policy. Life Insurance offers terms in numbers of years.
Many life insurance policies now automatically include terminal illness cover. This means that if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness before the last 12 months of the policy term, you can choose to receive a lump sum payment in advance of your death
Insurance is a contract of 'utmost good faith'. This means that when you apply for cover you must tell the insurer about everything that affects the likelihood of your claiming. If you don't, your claims can be refused.
The policy provider checks each application to decide if the risk of providing cover is in line with the premium the policyholder will pay.
Covers the cost of premiums during periods of ill health and/or unemployment. Usually kicks in after six months. Can be included or an optional extra.

I've often wondered that, at the very least if you are going to install then you should just download a tgz of the root partition rather than the hassle of automagically installing/configuring packages. I guess as long as it works it's worth taking the path of least resistance for installing nodes, it's not like you do it every week anyway so if it takes an extra twenty minutes who cares?

You can of course have a pool of ip's for unknown mac's and then when a node first boots it can work out it's network position and create a static entry in the dhcp config file for itself. Ashley,

DNR officials tell 7&4 News that the first fire started around 3:00pm Sunday afternoon in Foster Township, off of Grass Lake Road, near Clear Lake. It reached more than 125 acres in size but was contained by around 8:00pm.

A few houses were evacuated after the first fire but they have been cleared to return home.
The fires were spotted by a DNR Fire Detection Plane that was flying over the area.

Fears of higher interest rates after banks downgraded
Four UK banks have had their credit ratings downgraded by ratings agency Moody's, leading to concerns that our borrowing costs may increase.
Ratings agencies Moody's has downgraded the credit ratings of 15 of the world's biggest banks, including Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland.
There are fears that the downgrade could lead to higher interest charges for customers as the banks themselves will face higher borrowing costs.
Moody's says all of the banks "have significant exposure to the volatility and risk of outsized losses inherent to capital markets activities". Essentially, it's worried about the impact of the ongoing Eurozone crisis.
However, many analysts believe the impact won't be dramatic as the banks have already made contingency plans.
Many banks have already increased both the Standard Variable Rates (SVRs) and other interest rates on their mortgages, blaming the increased cost of funding, as Christina Jordan explained in Mortgage rates are going up... and down.
On Wednesday, the banks borrowed £5 million in cheap loans from the Bank of England, which is the first instalment of the Extended Collateral Term Repo scheme. This scheme is designed to get the banks lending more.
There have been calls for the Government to make sure that banks are passing on this cheaper credit to customers, rather than using it to improve their balance sheets. This has been one of the major criticisms of the quantitative easing (QE) programme, where the Bank of England has bought back Government-issued gilts from the banks.

Alfonso V Hotel Leon Guest Reviews (2)
Lovely, but it took us an hour to find it! There is nothing outside to say it is the Hotel, it is above the shops/businesses, only the rather insignificant entrance (to a nice enough lobby) is on street level. We were there in winter so got a very good price, at full rate we would perhaps have been less happy.

The hotel is in the centre of the city and within walking distance of all the major tourist attractions. The hotel is very clean and the staff very helpful and friendly.

HOUSTON (AP) — DNA has linked a newly freed inmate to the 2006 slaying of an alleged accomplice in a Houston-area utility and robbery scam.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office on Thursday announced Alvin Wiltz has been charged with capital murder.
Wiltz was arrested Wednesday — a day after being released from prison in a drug case. Online jail records don't list an attorney for Wiltz, who's being held without bond in the slaying of Jermaine Clemons.
Homeowner Oscar Richmond awoke when Clemons knocked on his door, falsely claimed to be a utility worker and told him to evacuate due to a gas leak. Richmond knew his neighborhood didn't have natural gas and he got his gun.
The pair fought before a second suspect opened fire — wounding Richmond and fatally shooting Clemons.

Wounded, I think the real question is whether NOVA would have been ready to accept cash for their property (probably yes) and if yes, whether Allana would have had enough money to pay for what NOVA was asking.

The Hauppage USB MCE remote is a true RC6 MCE compatible remote. It even sends IR commands for the arrow buttons.
On thing to be aware of if using a class 2 remote is the order that the keyboard events occur. Only the actual keystroke is captured (I'll use Ctrl-Shift-P in my examples). Ideally, the remote only sends a Ctrl-Shift-P keypressed event which can be captured. In practice though it will send one of the following 4 sequences of keystrokes:
Ctrl (keydown ctrl)
Ctrl+Shift (keydown shift)
Ctrl+Shift+P (keydown p)
Ctrl+Shift (keyup p)
Ctrl (keyup shift)
(keyup ctrl)
Shift (keydown shift)
Shift+Ctrl (keydown ctrl)
Shift+Ctrl+P (keydown p)
Shift+Ctrl (keyup p)
Shift (keyup ctrl)
(keyup shift)
Ctrl (keydown ctrl)
Ctrl+Shift (keydown shift)
Ctrl+Shift+P (keydown p)
Shift+P (keyup ctrl)
P (keyup shift)
(keyup p)
Shift (keydown shift)
Shift+Ctrl (keydown ctrl)
Shift+Ctrl+P (keydown p)
Ctrl+P (keyup shift)
P (keyup ctrl)
(keyup p)
If either of the first 2 sequences are sent, then you're fine - you can just capture the Ctrl+Shift+P and the remaining combinations are ignored (modifier keys have no active effect).
If OTOH you get a remote that sends either of the second 2 sequences (I've had one before) you're in trouble. You capture Ctrl-Shift-P for XBMC ... and the next combination that's seen is either Ctrl-P or Shift-P. If you don't also capture this combination, it gets passed through to any other applications. Similarly with the following P. You can find some very strange things happening ...
The way I dealt with this (until I got a real MCE compatible remote - the Hauppage above) was to configure EventGhost to:
1. Capture the Ctrl-Shift-P and set a flag that we're capturing the event.
2. Capture Shift-P. Check if we're currently capturing Ctrl-Shift-P. If so, swallow it, otherwise pass it on.
3. Capture P. Check if we're currently capturing Ctrl-Shift-P. If so, swallow it, clear that we're capturing Ctrl-Shift-P and trigger the action for Ctrl-Shift-P, otherwise pass it on.
It worked, but was very very clunky. It's not something you could do with just XBMC since it needs decision-making logic.

Is it an outdated article?
"BMC doesn't recognise the MCE shortcuts like control-shift-P, so the class 2 remotes are pretty useless for XBMC " Because on keyboard.xml it can be recognized right? EDIT: Yes it is but he told it on last item

Ross is one of the best massage therapists in Chico California. He listens to what you want, provides a relaxing and professional atmosphere, and even checks up on you afterward to see how you're doing. He has my highest recommendation."
I have been to eight different Massage Therapists. I also have had different types of massages including deep tissue (my personal favorite because they seem to have longer lasting effects). Ross Lemcke is my absolute favorite Chico Massage Therapist. He has strong hands, with a great touch. I feel like a new person when I get a massage. Treat yourself to one and you will see what I mean!!"
I have a history of some recurrent pains that I was controlling with acupuncture. Since I have been getting therapeutic massage from Ross in Chico, I have had excellent pain control. The massage is very pleasant compared to the needles. I have no hesitation in recommending his service."
Thank you so much for the awesome massage! I was so relaxed afterwards. I'm hooked! :-)"
I have gotten many massages from Ross and they have always been excellent. Ross has excellent techniques, relaxing and comfortable manner, and a healing touch. I highly recommend him!!"
My fiance and I have been visiting Ross for therapeutic reasons. I was experiencing headaches and my fiance was experiencing backaches. Since visiting Ross occasionally for massages in Chico, both of our issues have diminished and severely reduced in frequently. We consider Ross's massages to be one of our greatest finds in Chico!"
I have been the fortunate recipient of many massages in my long life. None of them come close to the quality and excellence of those given by Ross. Ross can adjust the massage to be gentle, or more aggressive, depending on the specific need or desire. And always given in an absolutely professional manner. The massages are SUPERB and unbeaten by anyone."
My father and I both have had massage's from Ross and it helped my back pain and overall health as well as put me to sleep while being massaged, I would recommend Ross to all my friends and family!"
Being a very active person, I have consistently incorporated massage therapy into my life to help treat pain and injury as well as to balance my emotional and physical well being. In my opinion, massage is not just about relaxation or "zoning out," it can be used as a very powerful tool to both identify and treat chronic pain, stiffness and constrictions in the body. Having recently moved to the Chico area, I feel blessed to have discovered a wonderful massage therapist, Ross Lemcke. Ross is truly present during every one of his treatments and genuinely cares about his clients' well being. He is empathetic, giving and clearly committed to his profession. Ross provides more than enough time for a thorough intake and treatment and always follows up with his clients for feedback on how they are feeling or if they have any questions or concerns. Gifted CMTs are one of a kind. Chico is lucky to have one in Ross."
Let me tell you that I have had many massages in the past and Ross is truly gifted. He listens to you and provides the right pressure and touch. I was totally relaxed after the massage. I think he is fantastic and I highly recommend him."

I happened to be home today and watched the president's press conference announcing the $17 billion bail-out loans for Chrysler and GM, though I'll admit I was only half-watching because, as a former public speaking teacher, everytime I watch Bush give a speech, regardless of topic, it just makes me wince. (Sorry--I digress.)Anyway, I liked the fact that there are stringent strings attached to the loans, but I wonder if any, like the March 31, 2009 deadline to show they can be profitable, will be enforced. That's not a comment on the new adminstration, who will be the ones to judge this, but a comment on government in general. Will the companies be held accountable, and if so how? I keep hearing our government officials say, "Well, we can't let them fail, it would be a terrible drag on our already compromised economy," but this IS capitalism, is it not? If not the banks, or the car companies, then whom SHOULD we let fail? My grandfather used to have a saying that I think applies here: If you make it your policy to shoot horsethieves, you only have to shoot a couple before they get the general idea. Just a bit of a rant. . . Pam |

Pam I'm afraid it's come down to damned if you do, damned if you don't. Look at the the bail out for the big banks recently - on the evening news tonite it showed the end of year bonuses these bozos are going to get even in the midst of the govt. bailout. To keep on topic, we have to do something for the auto industry to preserve the thousands of jobs, however they have to make significant changes - competitive products, more realistic union contracts (jes - 75 bucks an hour, I make good money but not close to those union guys).

Doc, I saw that too about the banks. One of the "experts" said something like companies like Goldman Sachs needs to keep the best people in order to be profitable, which means giving big bonuses. I understand the logic, but I don't agree with it in this economy. . .which is probably why I'm not an employee at Goldman Sachs! (Not that they've asked!) The town I live in used to be a factory town, mostly clothing, and way back, cigars and caskets. The last large factory employer left about 10 years ago. Our country is becoming less and less reliant on factory jobs, although in auto country where the auto industry is the largest employer, it may not seem that way. If I worked a factory job of any kind, I think I'd be more than a little worried, union or not. If the job's not there, no union can save you. FYI--I did hear on the news that the $75 an hour minus benefits, overtime and pensions is more like $45. . . still not bad, though. Pam |

Pam I still have a twin brother down in north Louisiana who says that they will be closing 1 local paper mill completely and another one for a couple of months. Don't think we've seen the worst of it yet unfortunately. The only thing we can be thankful for is, oil is < $40 a barrel. However, because of this they're laying off a lot of oil patch people. Listening to Johnny Winter Blues to get me through all of this. Doc C |

Good to see some well thought-out comments about this subject. You both sound torn on the subject of the bail-outs, and actually I salute you for that. One of the problems we have as a nation is we always want to fight things on ideological grounds. Unfortunately. ideology isn't always aligned with reality. In my gut- just pure instinct - I'm opposed to bailouts. But how realistic is that? I would have liked to see Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac go under. Problem being they would take half the US mortgages with them. Instinctively, I would say let the car companies go under, after all it was their stupidity and greed that put them where they are. I could even justify in my mind the auto workers losing their jobs, since it's also their greed that got them where they are. But when you start to think of the myriad of secondary industries they would take with them: sand pit workers who supply the sand for the auto glass, glazers who make the windshields, metal workers who fabricate, computer chip makers, plastics workers, retail auto supply store workers, and on and on. I really do think the economy could collapse. Do we want that for the sake of ideology? Just two small points. The $75,000 per worker thrown around is deceiving. Truth is that (and this is an amazing stat if you think about it), it costs the Big Three $35,000 per year per active employee to pay the legacy costs of those already retired. That figure is added in to come up with the "they earn $75,000 a year" line. Sad to say, but someone down the line's going to have to tell the retirees "sorry, we tried, but your benefits are going to have to be cut or eliminated". Second point: boy do we have a bunch of idiots in Congress (both parties). We have Dingell (D) from Michigan who has catered to the stupidity of the Auto industry at every chance, right up to today. And we have Shelby (R) and other Southern Senators demanding they go into bankruptcy because they think they're protecting the foreign carmakers in their states. Wonder if they ever stopped to think about all the non-union workers in their states involved in the secondary industries I mentioned will go under. Idiots. Damn, now my fingers are tired. Good thread. |

Joe, I AM torn, for one simple reason: the people who would get hurt by letting these banks and companies go under are NOT the people who should pay the price, literally and figuratively. I'd like to sound all cut-and-dried and say, "They screwed up, let them fail," but the double-sidedness of this makes that impossible for me. I would even say that knowing that a worsening economy would affect me, too. I do feel that way, but as you so rightly pointed out, there are so many related businesses that would get caught in the domino effect of bankruptcy, and the little people would get crushed. Easy for me to say, "Well, sorry folks, but you should've known the company you worked for was in trouble, and found another job," but I am 2000 miles, and a world away, from Detroit. Not for me to say, no matter how much I begrudge handing my tax dollars over to guys who fly corporate jets to Washington to ask for a hand out. The sadder thing about a bail-out is that I'm not sure in the long run it'll change anything. Past experience has shown the people who should learn a lesson from this won't--from the auto company bosses to the politicians. And by the way, where is Ole and his two (or three or four) cents' worth?? Pam Last edited on Sat Dec 20th, 2008 02:59 am by pamc153PA |

Joe is right about the wage issue. The figure of $75 to $85 per hour is loaded with retiree costs. I really don't know the true wage rate (net of benefits) of the top tier wage earners. I suspect it is more in the $30 range. But new hires go in the second tier and make $16 to $18 per hour. Hardly an amount that will make someone rich. What is being missed in this dialogue is what will happen to the retiree pensions if the automakers go bankrupt. The thinking is that is this will allow the auto companies the opportunity to restructure contracts with employees and auto dealers to make them more competitive. But there is a huge cost for us taxpayers. All the pensions are guaranteed by the Pension Guarantee Act. In other words the government picks up the cost! These pensions may be less but they do not go away! |

Ashbel Pensions may be backed by the govt. but pensions have been replaced by 401K's which save companys millions. These aren't guaranteed like pensions. I feel for those individuals whose 401K portfolios have dwindled to next to nothing and who now or in the near future depend on those funds. DO WE BAIL THEM OUT ALSO? How are people who work in the auto industry different from other American workers? Whose next? Hard questions with no easy answers. Glad I'm just a lowly physician. Doc C |

Doc 401K's and pensions covered by the Pension Guarantee Trust are two different things. Pension's are "insured" much like the FDIC insures bank deposits. Companies that offer pensions pay a percentage of their deposits each year to insure the continuation of their programs - even if they go bankrupt. This program was started in the 1970's and was in pretty good shape until a few years ago. Now it is several billion dollars in the red. Any deficits in the Trust are guaranteed by the government. All government bailouts represent a "slippery slope." Where do you stop? I, for one, favor those that keep the most jobs. |

Ashbel Exactly, the majority of corp. retirement plans today to my limited knowledge are 401K's therefore not backed by the fed. Like mine, they've taken a significant hit lately, thank godness I'm not planning to tap into it for many years. Doc C |

Top Teachers: Samuel Turner
Holman M.S., sixth-eighth grades
Growing up, Samuel Turner always assumed that he would follow the family military tradition and end up in a job in which he designed or built airplanes, tanks and helicopters, or perhaps joined the Military Corps of Engineers. But a Saturday morning during his senior year of high school changed all that. Spending time at the Nottoway County home of his English teacher, the late John B. Cyrus, completely changed his perspective, said Turner. It was Cyrus – along with other teachers and principals he admired – who gave him an appreciation of the opportunity teachers have to make a difference in young lives. Looking back, Turner said, he always had people around him who provided advice and "taught me a different way to view things." His sister and brother both challenged and nurtured him, and he noted that both have had successful military careers, in addition to becoming teachers in their respective fields. As a teacher of pre-engineering, technology, and 21st-century learning, Turner (who taught at Short Pump Middle School before Holman opened) said that among his biggest challenges are the misperceptions that exist about gender in that curriculum. He has found it especially rewarding, as a result, to watch female students blossom. He described one such student who began besting older students in competitions as a sixth-grader, delivered winning campaign speeches as a seventh-grader, moved on to leadership positions in TSA (Technology Student Association) and "almost single-handedly increased the female interest in engineering, technology and TSA." Recently, he said, he was honored to provide letters of reference as she applied to schools of higher education. Another challenge of teaching technology, he said, is what he calls the "influences of the modern Information Age." While modern electronic marvels save time and provide instant information and entertainment, he said, they also foster a perception that technology is the answer to everything, "and that success is just a keypunch away. "I try to instill in the students," said Turner, "that no matter what electronic gadgets we have at our disposal, they are [simply] tools . . .The greatest computer or tool ever made sits squarely on their shoulders – and its potential is limitless." He also strives to find special and unique things about what interests each student, and to teach "every student in every class like they are preparing to go to Harvard." Seeing his students embrace new ideas and apply their classroom lessons in exciting ways at technology competitions, he says, is "marvelous to behold." Turner succeeds at getting to know every student, according to parents, because his work day often lasts from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. "His door is always open," marveled one parent. "Kids will hang out in his classroom both before and after school, when they need a place to 'just be', or need a shoulder to lean on. . . He teaches so much more than just technology. He welcomes all children, and finds a way to connect with each one." |
VBS seeks blood donations
Citizen Staff Reports 12/16/2013
Virginia Blood Services (VBS), the sole supplier of blood for more than 20 hospitals throughout the state of Virginia, is in need of blood donors to help replenish the local blood supply over the holidays.

Kick off 17:00 BST at Donbass Arena, Donetsk, Ukraine
Euro 2012, Group D
France - Nasri 39'
England - Lescott 30'
by Jamie Bradbury
England got their Euro 2012 campaign off to a solid start in Donetsk as they drew 1-1 with France. It was also a good night for Manchester City players Joleon Lescott and Samir Nasri, who both scored first half goals, the 39th-minute strike from the Frenchman cancelling out the Englishman's header nine minutes earlier to get Group D under way. The only blot on the Three Lions copybook was the first goal conceded in the Roy Hodgson era, but after a game that was edged by the French, England will head home to their base camp in confident mood. France had arrived on the back of an impressive 21-match unbeaten run, stretching back to a Euro 2012 Qualifier against Belarus in September 2010. That run also included a victory against the Three Lions at Wembley, so England started as outsiders. And Laurent Blanc's side stated their intention of extending that record early on by dominating the possession. Cabaye, Nasri and Ribery were providing the impetus as the French kept the ball away from their rivals. It was Nasri who had the first serious sight on goal eleven minutes in, shooting from 25 yards but his City team mate Joe Hart had it covered as the ball hit the side-netting. Moments later, and against the run of play, another of the four Premier League champions on display had a glorious chance to open the scoring as England cut through the French defence. Ashley Young slipped in James Milner running in behind the back four,and he ghosted past Hugo Lloris inside the box. Unfortunately, though, he was unable to convert from the angle with his left foot and, like Nasri, found the side of the goal. Not wanting to be left out as his City colleagues had goalscoring chances, Lescott showed them where the back of the net was on the half-hour mark. Gerrard's re-taken free-kick from the right, was met superbly by the defender, who out-jumped Alou Diarra six yards out, and Lloris had no chance at keeping out the header. The 29-year-old couldn't hide his delight at scoring his first international goal. It gave England more confidence and they were soon enjoying their share of the football. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, in his first competitive start, was showing no fear when he had the chance to surge forward, while Danny Welbeck was working hard to provide an attacking option, with Ashley Young running from deep. Diarra almost made up for it inside five minutes, with an almost identical chance at the other end. His powerful head was a good height for Hart, and he was able to beat away. France were level shortly after, though, as they popped the ball around outside the England box. Ribery laid off to Nasri 25 yards from goal and he steadied himself before drilling through the crowd as Gerrard tried to close him down. The ball squeezed inside the post out of Hart's reach and sent the teams in level at half-time. Nasri combined with Benzema for the first opportunity after the break, with the second period 20 minutes old. A quick one-two between them 25 yards from goal opened up the space for the Madrid man to drive at goal. The power was there, but it was straight at Hart. Glen Johnson had a sight on goal moments later, cutting in from the right as he so often does for Liverpool, but his left foot shot was always rising over the bar. When he was called into action in his own box with 15 minutes left, Johnson mopped up a promising French attack, coming around to cover and cut off Benzema and his pass forward set Welbeck away as England countered. The Manchester United forward squared for Chamberlain arriving 25 yards out, but he looked for the chance to shoot, which didn't arrive. It was the Arsenal winger's last involvement as he made way for Jermain Defoe, while Scott Parker was also replaced by Jordan Henderson. With both teams tentatively looking for a winner, knowing that a draw would still represent a good opening result, Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye came close to giving the French the advantage with ten minutes remaining. A ball into the box was flicked out by Ribery towards Cabaye who shaped, volleyed goalwards but could only watch as Welbeck's dangling foot directed wide of the post. Johnson was again involved at the start of another England move with a minute remaining. He played cross-field to Ashley Cole in space on the left who carried forward and laid into the feet of Defoe. The Spurs striker turned, slipped in Milner on the right and he crossed low to where Welbeck was arriving. A last-ditch slide from Philippe Mexes was enough to deny him a chance to pounce. The last chance of the game was from Benzema, as France found continual difficulty in getting behind England's defence, he shot from distance and Hart scooped up at the second attempt. A difficult test out of the way for England and they are off the mark at Euro 2012. Next up, Sweden on Friday.

1> Attock Fort:
Attock fort was completed in 1583 under the supervision of Khawaja Shamsuddin Khawafi, a minister of Emperor Akbar. The Mughal caravan sarai outside the fort, which is almost on the G.T. Road, was also built during this period
Gandhara (gəndä'rə) was an historic region of ancient India, (which corresponds to areas of north west Pakistan including Attock). Situated astride the middle Indus River, the region had Taxila and Peshawar as its chief cities. It was originally a province of the Persian Empire and was reached (327 B.C.) by Alexander the Great. The region passed to Chandragupta, founder of the Maurya empire, in the late 4th cent. B.C., and under Asoka was converted (mid-3d cent.) to Buddhism. It was part of Bactria from the late 3d cent. to the 1st cent. B.C. Under the Kushan dynasty (1st cent.–3d cent. A.D.), and especially under Kanishka, Gandhara developed a noted school of sculpture, consisting mainly of images of Buddha and relief's representing scenes from Buddhist texts, but with marked Greco-Roman elements of style. The art form flourished in Gandhara until the 5th century, when the region was conquered by the Huns.

JINGDEZHEN, China, Oct. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The kiln reactivation and certification ceremony for the Blue and White Kiln, the Dragon Pattern Vat Kiln and the Wind and Fire Kiln, three royal kilns built and used during the Ming and Qing dynasties, was held at the Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Museum on the morning of October 22, 2013. Officials including Liang Gaochao, CPPCC Chairman of Jingdezhen, Wang Ligeng, member of Standing Committee of Municipal Committee of Jingdezhen and Chief of Publicity Department of Municipal Committee of Jingdezhen and Zhang Chunping, deputy mayor of Jingdezhen, were present at the ceremony.

Amid praises and cheers from the on-site attendees, kilnmen moved the exquisite masterpieces, which had previously undergone firing at the three kiln sites, to the certification stage. Ye Peilan, a well-known ceramics expert from Beijing's Palace Museum, Chen Runmin, head of the ceramics team at the Palace Museum, Li Jian'an, head of the Archaeology Institute of Fujian Museum, Ren Zhilu, head of the Archaeology Authentication Institute of Shenzhen, Guangdong province, Li Jianmao, deputy director of the Hunan Provincial Museum, Li Kecheng from Peking University, Lu Wenhu, former director of the Art College of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Wang Yongqing, deputy secretary general of China National Arts and Crafts Society, Jiang Jianxin, head of Jingdezhen Ceramics Archaeology Institute, and other ceramics experts took part in the on-site certification. The works from the three kilns were deemed excellent in terms of padding and glazes as well as form and transparency, demonstrating Jingdezhen's outstanding porcelain shaping and firing techniques and evidence of a successful reactivation.
At the end of the ceremony, Wang Ligeng, on behalf of the Municipal Committee and the Municipal Government of Jingdezhen, donated a piece of precious porcelain to world champion winner Cheng Fei. Since 2009, work has been ongoing to reactivate the Qing Dynasty Zhen Kiln and Gourd Kiln, The Song Dynasty Dragon-shaped Kiln and the Yuan Dynasty Steamed bun-shaped Kiln. The ancient kilns started to be replicated and reactivated as royal kilns during the Ming and Qing dynasties - Blue and White Kiln, Dragon Pattern Vat Kiln, Wind and Fire Kiln, Colour Glaze Kiln, Lanhuang Kiln and Sagger Kiln, all adding up to a wonderful experience for any visitor to the Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln area, one of national 5A-level scenic spots in China. Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln has been an active protector and promoter of intangible world heritage - Jingdezhen's handmade porcelain making skills and traditional kiln techniques. We continue to be impressed by Jingdezhen's achievement in protecting this heritage.

My neighbor put this old desk out at the curb for trash pick up last week. My 5 year old daughter, the Frog Princess, and I were out for a walk and spotted it. She asked me if we could bring it home to use as a desk in her room and I laughed and immediately said, "no". Then I realized that with a little bit of paint and it just might work.
So, we decided to use our collective "girl power." The Frog Princess pushed her little sister (19 month old, Mini-Saurus) in the stroller while I strapped the desk onto our dolley (in the rain!) and wheeled it home into our garage. My hubby was still at work and was "surprised" to see such a lovely treasure waiting in our garage when he got home. Several coats of white and purple spray paint later, during Mini-Saurus' naps while the Frog Princess was at Kindergarten, we have her new big girl desk. Yes... I know it's not the "Green-est" way to paint but at least I'm not going out and buying a new piece of furniture. She is over the moon in love with it. Maybe I'll just dumpster dive for the rest of her Christmas gifts this year.

The Patton Memorial of Pilsen is the only museum in the Czech Republic that is devoted to the American army. The exhibition historically maps the progression and residence of the United States Army in the former Czechoslovakia in 1945; it then maps the post-war economic aid provided by UNRA to our country and the period of the totalitarian regime in Czechoslovakia from 1948 – 1989. The largest exhibition area is formed of period equipment and ammunition of members of the army and many items used daily by soldiers. The exhibits come from private collections.

I'm pretty sure a number of you have seen this by now, either circulating through facebook, reddit etc.
I'm curious to see how many people are repulsed or surprised by this.
Also, a number of people have the belief that this may be fake/set up, you guys think so or is that just people trying to find more humanity in the human race?
Me personally? My reaction in a nutshell is...
However, this doesn't surprise me. There are enough ignorant and inhuman people in existence that the fact people would say stuff like this to someone doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
Although it is possible this is a fake, out of 6 billion or so people this is especially in the realm of possibilities, especially with how barbaric humans can/have been in the past.
I could go on a long rant as to why this letter is wrong, pathetic etc.
1) Not worth my time, hell even making this topic gives it more attention than it deserves
2) I'm about ready to fall asleep at my keyboard
3) It can be wrapped up pretty quickly (like with the vid)
But really, it's wrong to discriminate and wish harm to others because they were born differently. If you're unable to deal with the fact such people exist and may live near you than you get up and move.
They still have their human rights and that shouldn't be taken away because some people are insensitive to those who may struggle in things that they don't.
And to note, I don't know the age of the child but such conditions always do have the chance of recovery through stuff like therapy.
The younger you are the more likely, so to claim this person will 'never be hired' or 'never have a girl love him' is both at the bottom of the barrel cold and untrue since you can't prove that for a fact or that he may not do better in the future.

And lots of companies buying ANC -- the largest movie theater chain in the US.
And -- kind of from more than two and a half billion dollars making it China's largest corporate takeover in the US ever.
But how does this time from taken over the entire US we -- -- economist Peter Larry -- Peter I know you've been hot on this for awhile now but.
AMC entertainment purchased.
A big deal.
Absolutely as -- folks might not recognize is exhibitors as as theaters or call them in the Hollywood business.
I have -- -- can't have a lot to say about what producers make because they can control what goes up on those screens.
And -- movies that might not be sympathetic to China or might not be sympathetic to their view of the world could easily find themselves not getting into theaters.
And then this could influence.
You know what what produces are able to make and make a profit.
That's a corporate transactions so I'm when he and you don't wanna -- we don't know close our borders we don't -- ourselves in we wanna allow and need to happen.
On the flip side though you have the Federal Reserve recently approving China's application to buy it US subsidiary of -- bank of the US subsidiary.
And then we also hear recently that now.
That China's central banking ocean to rate the -- and buying treasuries themselves there's no world block anymore that's something -- little.
Well it's not sketchy -- may.
China's got special access when it -- US treasury securities that other governments don't have.
They can -- they can bid for those securities.
Right alongside Goldman Sachs and and Citigroup and JPMorgan as a primary dealer in government securities.
No other government in the world.
Has that access why because it's so large.
Why is -- so large you know our choice and it holds a trillion dollars in US -- because -- never done anything about -- huge trade deficit we have with China you know our trade deficit with China.
It's 300 billion dollars a year.
What that much money -- taken by a 150.
AMC's every year.
And it's scary no I mean that scares me that China's -- in next to JPMorgan all vying for the same treasury.
It scares me that -- -- buying next to JPMorgan for the same treasuries and it also scares me that they're they're buying AMC.
Why well be in Chinese companies that come here you know they often have.
Have significant government connection.
Which means significant connection to the Chinese Communist Party.
You know they are you know that there isn't this separation of the private sector and the public sector in China.
As we know it here it's capitalism but what are very Asian flavor and it as a consequence.
You know how they invest has something to do it their foreign policy there are real issues of American sovereignty here.
-- -- Capitalism I think it's called communism right can be ended today well I always try not to name.
I was trying not to -- Bay -- but that's different but that's exactly what I'm what I'm talking about but yeah.
You know we we seem to think that you know we just embraced the Chinese in trade with them they'll become more and more like gusts.
Then you know the world is how growing chorus that America we caught the Americans -- to becoming more like them.
Right and you bet number look we know they don't audit financial statements they don't have an FDA there's no policy national rules and regulation so they are if it seems coming.
Like they're -- -- -- to take a silver are they doing isn't any other country or is it just kind of all eyes on the US.
Oh no this.
Reading their tentacles around the world because they wanna be the new rule maker they wanna be the new hedge Iran.
You know and we have created a system -- we're based on human rights and and free markets through the WTO in the United Nations and all these international institutions conservatives rail against.
But a reality all the infrastructure of an open and transparent global economy.
And the Chinese really don't like them very well.
They're buying up -- -- and handle it in Australia they're buying every sources in Africa and wherever those dollars go it makes it tougher.
For us to sell our brand of capitalism.
-- -- our brand of democracy around the world.
Sneaking he Mary C university -- an economic profess their wish I had your class -- base there.
Thank you very -- nice.

I decided in the off season to wait until rounds 9 and 10 to grab closers and only then if elite closers were available. My first choice was Joel Hanrahan. Hanrahan had a MM score of 76 going in and after adjusting for reliability he jumps up to 92. This basically gives me an elite closer in round 9. Moving into the 10th round I had my choice as I had the back to back slot selection. I went with a know commodity in Heath Bell. Bell had a MM score of 64 going in and when adding for reliability he jumps up to 85. Miami gave him a three year deal to be the closer and he should keep the job. Attempting to find a couple closers that will keep the job is the same as gambling. I try to keep it to a minimum with safe picks. Nothing is safe with closers.
Monthly Archives: March 2012
$375 NFBC Slow Draft League 7 15-Team Mixed
The strategy going in was to roster four starters and four batters in the first 8 rounds. Here is what I ended up with. For the record I am a huge fan and member of Baseball HQ. Most of the decisions were made with the Mayberry Method and reliability in mind.
Round 1
Evan Longoria 3B Tampa Bay Rays
With my custom tiers I had him as tier 1. Should be a rebound candidate. Should get 10 stolen bases and qualify as a power speed guy at a thin position. Good value at this spot.
Projection: 38/8
Round 2
Roy Halladay SP Philadelphia Phillies
Had my choice here of stud pitchers. I went with a proven pitcher on a team that will win games. 8.0 K/9
Round 3
Eric Hosmer 1B Kansas City Royals
Most of the big guns were off the board by now so I took a chance with a power speed guy. If Hosmer avoids a sophomore slump the return could be huge.
Projection: 20/11
Round 4
Zach Greinke SP Milwaukee Brewers
Injured to start the year in 2011. Solid performer only two years removed from Cy Young Award. Elite skills. 9.4 K/9
Round 5
Howie Kendrick 2B, OF Los Angeles Angels
Picked up a guy here who will bring a power speed mix and some positional flexibility if needed.
Projection: 18/15
Round 6
Mat Latos SP Cincinnati Reds
Changed coasts in a big trade. Some are worried about the new home park. Latos pitched well on the road last year. Will get help from offense. 8.4 K/9
Round 7
Alexei Ramirez SS Chicago White Sox
I did not take Ramirez here because I am a huge Sox fan. I took Alexei because he is a consistent power speed guy that is often overlooked.
Projection: 17/10
Round 8
Cory Luebke SP San Diego Padres
Lefty in one of the best pitcher parks. Solid all around last year and I expect more of the same. 8.1 K/9
