Carolyn WenglarOkay, since we're talking about Warren's, we'd better make this one "best bar moms." The bartending babes -- young and old -- of this venerable downtown watering hole are all delightfully skilled in the stuff of drinks. They can mix virtually anything with flair and flavor; and they can most certainly mix it up with the eclectic blend of patrons drawn to this Market Square institution. When namesake Warren Trousdale died about 15 years ago, there were fears that the place would go with him. But sister Carolyn Wenglar took over and took Warren's to new heights. She and her crew survived the near-death of downtown, the regrettable passing of master bartender Jose Serna and stiff competition from newcomer nightspots. Credit more than a little motherly love from this wonderful cast: Mom's the word when talk turns to Warren's.

Mid-term madness: High temperatures and heated debate on Election Day
Putting the environment to a vote in California has resulted in some counterintuitive coalitions and regulatory machinations.
Tue, Nov 02, 2010 at 04:35 PM
Temperatures are running high here in Southern California this week, and after the intense run-up to the Nov. 2 general election, it feels a bit like we're all in a giant pressure cooker.
In California, we not only elected a new governor (after seven years, it's time to bid Schwarzenegger adieu), but also cast votes for senators, congressional representatives and a handful of important state officials. Additionally, Southland residents considered nine ballot measures, two of which dealt directly with environmental laws and regulations.
And the results of yesterday's election?
What a tangled electoral web we weave
This election cycle found AB 32, the landmark Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, challenged by Prop 23. AB 32 sets an ambitious goal to cut state greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020, and is part of California's bid to be a leader in environmental and energy reform. The hope is that as AB 32 is enacted (the process for cutting emissions is set to begin in 2012), a "green collar" jobs and clean energy sector will grow in California, and air quality, a continuing issue, will improve. To many on both sides of the political aisle, AB 32 is a step in the right direction for the country as we address the complex matter of climate change.
Prop 23, however, aimed to put a freeze on AB 32's efforts to curb warming. Backed mainly by oil companies, the proposed legislation would have put a hold on requirements for significant polluters to report their greenhouse gas emissions, at least until state unemployment drops below 5.5 percent for three consecutive quarters (which has happened exactly three times since 1976).
The issues around Prop 23 resulted in some unexpected alignments. Our Republican governor, Mr. Schwarzenegger, is a proud sponsor of AB 32 and touts signing it into law in 2006 as one of his main achievements. He stood firmly against Prop 23. Prominent Republican George Shultz also spoke out in support of AB 32, framing opposition to Prop 23 as a national security issue and dispensing some sharp criticisms of the measure.
It looks like the backers of Prop 23 are already preparing a challenge to the defeat. Fresno County printed the wrong wording on its ballots, neglecting to incorporate a change ordered by a Sacramento Supreme Court judge. Language in the proposal originally referred to "major polluters," but the judge's ruling ordered it changed to "major sources of emissions." Fresno County Clerk Victor Salazar said it was too late to change the ballots, but the county issued a press release and posted the correct language at all polling places. The difference seems a little semantic, but conservatives argue that the offensive word "polluters" might have prejudiced voters against Prop 23.
Wolf in sheep's clothing
As for Prop 26, which the Huffington Post called a "sneak attack" on emissions regulation, the exact text reads: "Requires that certain state and local fees be approved by two-thirds vote. Fees include those that address adverse impacts on society or the environment caused by the fee-payer's business."
Prop 26 essentially gives "fee-payers," also known as polluting businesses, whose actions result in "adverse impacts on society or the environment" a "get out fee free" card, because our notoriously fractious state legislature rarely wrangles a two-thirds majority for anything, including the budget. Prop 26 will let offenders off the hook for such things as air, water and other pollution created by their activities, or improper handling of hazardous materials in a way that endangers the public or the environment.
Passage of Prop 26 is discouraging. It's reasonable to think that weaker penalties could correlate with weaker compliance. Also, the new legislation could present a challenge to enforcement of greenhouse gas emissions penalties outlined in AB 32, according to Business Week.
An interesting thing I noticed about Prop 26: California Secretary of State information on campaign finances for the proposition shows that one committee was formed and registered with the state in support of Prop 26, while there were five committees formed to oppose its passage. That one support group raised over $13 million since the beginning of 2010. Numbers available for the five opposing committees show their campaign dollars came in at just under $3 million.
California saw some mixed results from voters this time around in terms of the environment. We certainly do have to be vigilant about protecting public health in the face of corporate interests. On the bright side, yesterday we also elected leaders who will keep the environment in mind: Governor-elect Jerry Brown is a clean energy enthusiast, and Senator Boxer, who kept her seat, has a history of strong environmental advocacy.

Part II
In part I, I examined the history leading up to the creation of the Voting Rights Act as well as the immense role that it has served our nation ever since. In Part II I will examine how one decision by 5 Supreme Court Justices has lead to the rebirth of Jim Crow out of the smoldering ashes of the VRA. The doppelganger to the Phoenix has risen.
Haven't Seen Part 1? Read Part I.
The Ghost of Voting Present
This past year, in an extremely questionable 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court decided in Shelby County v. Holder on June 25th, 2013. Authored by Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and joined by Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy, and Samuel Alito, the decision ruled that the landmark legislation of The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was obsolete, and unfair to those States that had warranted oversight under the VRA.
Roberts wrote as his argument "Our country has changed, and while any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions," continuing with "obsolete statistics" and that the coverage formula "violates the constitution."
5 out of the 9 Supreme Court justices struck down the essential "coverage formula" as unconstitutional, stating that it was "no longer responsive to current conditions". The Court left in place Section 5 intact, but lacking Section 4b, no jurisdiction is subject to Section 5 preclearance.
Once one of the country's greatest success stories in the pursuit of equality, the VRA of '65 had been sufficiently lobotomized. "The Coverage Formula" which covered nine states (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) and parts of six others (in California, Florida, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, South Dakota) was dropped from the bill, leaving enforcement of the VRA dead on the Court room floor. Justice Clarence Thomas went on to take it one step further and stated his belief that Section 5 is also unconstitutional, which he had previously stated in an early encounter with the VRA in 2009.
So, was Jim Crow dead? Did the 5 Justices have insight that we were lacking?
On behalf of herself and Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg issued a wide-ranging dissent.
"The sad irony of today's decision lies in its utter failure to grasp why the VRA has proven effective…The Court appears to believe that the VRA's success in eliminating the specific devices extant in 1965 means that preclearance is no longer needed…the record for the 2006 reauthorization makes abundantly clear [that] second-generation barriers to minority voting rights have emerged in the covered jurisdictions as attempted substitutes for the first-generation barriers that originally triggered preclearance in those jurisdictions." Justice Ruth Ginsburg
The Fallout- In short, Jim Crow is alive and well
Literally, within hours of the decision having been made by the Supreme Court, the States once held accountable for their previous practices of disenfranchisement of their own citizens began to implement new restrictive tools for stacking the deck.
The Brennan Center Study
The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, findings…
The Citizens most greatly affected by the Photo ID laws…
- The Elderly
- Students of Voting Age
- Minorities
- Women
The Brennan Center Study estimates over 500,000 eligible voters in 10 states who could be negatively affected by these photo ID laws.
In Texas, nearly 13%, close to two million inhabitants, of the state's eligible voting–age, live a distance greater than 10 miles away from the nearest state office issuing voter ID's. the study goes on to note that in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas, many of the part-time ID-issuing offices are the ones found in the rural regions with the highest concentrations of people of color and people in poverty who are not able to find transportation nor the proper time slot in which to get a new voter ID.
"In Wisconsin, one town's government ID-issuing office is only open on the fifth Wednesday of the month. Admittedly, the town's population is under 5,000, but the fifth-Wednesday rule results in the office being open only four times during 2012. With February and May behind us, it will open again on Wednesday, August 29, but not in September. If you miss August, wait until October 31." Then there is the "Mississippi Catch-22: in order to get a government-issued photo ID to vote, one must present a birth certificate, but a photo ID is required by the state before a birth certificate can be issued." New America Media (link below)
"The analysis by Cohen and Rogowski was recently released by the Chicago-based, Black Youth Project, a nonpartisan coalition launched in 2004 to examine the political participation of African-Americans aged 15 to 25. It estimated that new photo requirements potentially could turn away:
"170,000 to 475,000 young black voters.
68,000 to 250,000 young Hispanic voters.
13,000 to 46,000 young Asian-American voters.
1,700 to 6,400 young Native American voters.
700 to 2,700 young Pacific Islander voters."
"In 2004, turnout for minority voters ages 18-24 was 44% for blacks, 20.4% for Hispanics, and 23.4% for Asian-Americans. In 2008, 52.3% of young blacks, 27.4% of young Latinos and 27.8% of young Asian-Americans turned out to vote." CBS NEWS.com
As for women's voting rights… Beware these new ID Laws may greatly affect you as well.
Judge Sandra Watts of the 117th District Court has already felt the harsh reality of what is to come in the next round of major elections later this year. Quoted as saying:
"What I have used for voter registration and for identification for the last 52 years was not sufficient yesterday when I went to vote…This is the first time I have ever had a problem voting…"
So, what was the reasoning for Judge Watts coming into such complications as to be stripped of her voting rights? The difference came down to the way her name appeared on her drivers license when compared to her voter registration form. Her license read that her maiden name, was her middle name and on her voter registration her actual middle name appeared.
This is already proving to be a black hole of voting disenfranchisement for women voters. Marriage status changes are often not kept up with on all documents. If ID's don't perfectly match voter registration cards, the vote will not be heard.
Racial/and political party Gerrymandering
Although Racial Gerrymandering is still covered under sections 2 and 5, these laws too have been greatly weakened over the past 20 years. Gerrymandering has become an Art form as States are dicing up their counties into ever intricate patterns to get the best yield in their electorate's favor.
Practices that had once been overseen by the Federal Government to protect the balance of keeping Fraud out of the system has been dismantled and those States who cried that the VRA was outdated and that they were being wrongfully punished, have once again proven that the VRA's existence and reinforcement is just as necessary today as it was in 1965.
The Ghost of Voting Future
The Future is not set in Stone, but one thing is certain; If the VRA is not strengthened, our country will see a level of Voter Fraud which has not been seen since before 1965. These Photo ID laws, which are said to prevent fraud, are actually the largest voter disenfranchisement tools of the Jim Crow kind since the 60's.
"Supporters of the voter ID law, such as Governor Rick Perry, argue that it's necessary to stop the rampant menace of voter fraud. But there's no evidence that voter impersonation fraud is a problem in Texas. According to the comprehensive News21 database, there has been only one successful conviction for voter impersonation—I repeat, only one—since 2000.
Texas has the distinction of being one of the few states that allows you to vote with a concealed weapons permit, but not a student ID." The Nation.com
The question I have for our politicians is, where was this mass voter fraud that these ID laws needed to fix? There has been only 1 recorded case of voter fraud in Texas in the past 14 years, and such voter fraud could very well be in favor of the conservatives not just the liberals. Their case falls flat. There are no such grave voting fraud issues that needed fixing. An excuse was needed to stack the deck and so the fear was created.
Is there light at the end of this tunnel?
Perhaps. In the wake of the Supreme Court's short sighted decision, Representatives Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and John Conyers (D-MI) and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced legislation to put the tooth back into the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The legislation, known as "The Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014," represents the first attempt by a bipartisan group in Congress to reinstate the vital sections of the VRA that the Supreme Court said were outdated and no longer needed.
This bill would help reinstate much of what was lost but it will not fully address the issues raised by the New ID Laws and therefore is far from perfect. The issue with this weak link is that VRA supporters may very well also veto this New Amendment based on the lack of Photo ID coverage, but if currently added the Conservative Congress which does not benefit from voting equality, is sure to strike it down. The timing seems perfect for a Congressional election season in which many GOP candidates are finding themselves against the wall for their behavior of the 113th Congress.
The question I have for all of the citizens of the USA, is, "What do we really want? Do we want a vote that is weighted in one party's favor, if it means that the vote is fraudulent, or do we truly stand for every vote to count?"
As for me, I stand strong behind the belief that the true majority should be heard, whether I am part of that majority or not. The now Corporately Controlled Congress and Supreme Court are obviously weighing in, in favor of stacking the deck and winning, for their sponsors, by cheating the US citizens out of their right to be heard, to help pass more laws granting more tax subsidies to the corporations sending our jobs over seas, more tax breaks for the richest 1%, and less Environmental oversight in Industry, which as we speak is poisoning the waters of West Virginia.
Partisan Politics aside, the disenfranchisement of voters only strengthens the global corporate strangle hold on our nation. Our votes are meaningless if our politicians are all working for private corporate entities and not the people. Ethically and constitutional every legal citizen has the right to be part of the process.
This is the Oath that every Supreme Court Justice swears to uphold
"I, _________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as _________ under the Constitution and laws of the United States; and that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
Are these 5 justices in violation of this oath? Are they serving the interests of the People, the constitution and it's laws that they were put on the bench to uphold, or are they serving the interests of a Corporate few to which they have great financial ties to and that have the most to gain from striking down the VRA?
Not perhaps well know is this little fact
Although Supreme Court Justices are awarded life long positions on the Bench, they can also be removed from their position through impeachment. If found guilty of neglecting their duties or misusing their power, they can be asked to step down. In light of the recent decisions made by the 5 Justices in question, most importantly, Citizens United and the VRA decision of 2013, we should be concerned as to what further damage they might do to our nation before they finally meet their maker.
There has been a great deal of talk from the GOP of Impeachment. I agree. I just do not agree on who needs to be impeached. Congress was asked by the Supreme Court in 2009 (during this 113th congress) to update the necessary studies on the VRA, to allow the Court to review newer data. Congress somehow forgot to fulfill this demand, or more precisely, ignored the demand in order to see the VRA collapse. Impeachment, is a word that deserves to be used a lot right now. The Tea Party Congress held the country hostage for 16 days costing the nation $24 billion dollars in service of the privatized health care industry. I think we should start impeachment inquiries into many of these members and the dirty money trail that has been hidden with help of the other unjust Supreme Court decision made by the very same 5 Justices in Citizens United.
Perhaps, the time has come for all citizens, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Liberal, conservative, male female, black, white, Gay, Straight, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Jew, and Buddhist and all others alike, to band together and stop being spun by our politician's smoke screens and mass media, paid for by the very rich who are extorting the system. We have a common struggle to take back our nation from the now ruling 1% in their ivory towers. Let's put "The People" back in power of our great culturally diverse nation. Make your vote count.
I believe that, prosperity does not come from the few greedy ruling the masses, but our collective nation, with varying thoughts, wisdom and opinions, deciding on the best direction forward, in the interest of the People.
If you are interested in being heard by your Senators, Congressmen and the Supreme Court and wish to help move the civil rights of the nation forward, then here are some links to sites and petitions for protecting the VRA.

Gene Higginbotham, the editor of our fansided.com fellow NFL site, Who Dat Dish, took time out of his busy schedule today to answer some questions we had about the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints matchup.
Before the season started, one would have been stunned to think this week four game in Green Bay would feature a winless Saints team marching into Lambeau Field. One would also be surprised to think the Packers would be sitting at 1-2.
This is a huge game for both teams as each looks to get back on track before the season gets along too far.
So, here's our questions and how Higginbotham sees things:
The Saints say that they are dialed in and have been practicing fast this week. But they have been saying that since the first week so the proof will be in the pudding.
I think the Saints will try to go back to the run but try to establish a passing game as well. The Packers secondary to me is pretty solid though, so Brees should proceed with caution.
If the team can ever get into sync on defense they will. The glaring problem of course seems to be in the pass rush department which the Packers don't have a problem with.
Two stand out so far as a disappointment and both are first round picks, cornerback Patrick Robinson and running back Mark Ingram. Defensive end Junior Galette seems to be stepping up more and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks is also looking very promising.
Q. What young players have made a difference for the Saints this season and should be watched?
Defensive end Cameron Jordan is doing better than last year and hopefully will develop further this year.
I think the tempo especially on offense which the Saints are used to controlling should be a difference.
They say it's not that bad but it obviously is. Payton had that fire and could get players motivated by getting in their face which interim head coach Aaron Kromer doesn't seem to possess. The team has got to find a way to spark some fire from themselves or it won't happen.
Q. Tell us how you feel this game will go and, of course, provide us with a final score prediction.
This will probably get me some fire from Saints fans but the way they have been playing, I just don't know if they will be able to turn it around this quickly especially in Lambeau Field.
30-27 Packers

|Can't figure out the cause of your E.D.? Check out these 15 Natural Cures.
|Combine supplements for max erectile strength? Go with This Approach.
3. Erectile Supplements and Herbs. Most herbal and supplement impotence preparations do not have the ingredients listed. And, even if they do, can in some men induce priapism. One severe case involved a preparation called "All Nite Long" and the researchers reported that "a cavernoglanular shunt was then attempted with a large biopsy needle (Winter shunt) and subsequently with a scalpel (Ebbehoj shunt), without success." [6] Needles and scalpels - it hurts just to think about it!
Yohimbe (Yohimbine) is also common such preparations and can lead to priapism. [8] Why is that? One compounnd in yohimbine is an alpha adrenergic antagonist. One poster on our forum also mentioned another "formula" that resulted in the same. Did it also have yohimbine in it? Who knows?
Of course, the tragedy is that many men are taking these concoctions in the hopes of helping their sex lives only to find that they have potentially damaged themselves permanently.
4. Alpha Blockers. Did you know that there are a whole class of drugs that are, by definition, alpha adrenoceptor antagonists? And, yes, these can cause priapism. Again, middle-aged and senior men are particularly vulnerable, because these are commonly prescribed for BPH (enlarged prostate). One nasty case of this is mentioned in the literature, where a man's priapism persisted even after shunt surgery on his penis. [9] Prazosin has also been linked to the same issue. [10]
5. Cocaine and Prescription Narcotics. Cocaine is notorious for priapism and, again, the reason is related: it depletes the body of noradrenaline. As noradrenaline (norepinephrine) levels fall, eventually the body loses its ability to shut off an erection in many cases.
This can happen with prescription narcotics (vicodin, percoset, oxycodone, etc.) as well. One strange story out of the U.K. in late 2011 tells of a man who, due to a medical condition, supposedly experiened painful long-lasting erections and then robbed his own father at knife point to get money to buy pain killers. [11] We ask the question, "Could he not have been first addicted to pain killers which then led to his priapism?"
6. Pomegranate Juice and Viagra. There have been several case reports of priapism resulting from this combination. Pomegranate juice is not only a potent stimulator of nitric oxide but can alter liver function. Those taking any PDE5 inhibitor (Cialis, Levitra, Stendra, etc.) should also use caution. [12]
CAUTION: If you have a medical condition or are on any medications, please discuss any changes with your doctor first. Certain supplements, foods and even juices can alter absorption rates of certain medications for example. Play it safe.

Security Ends at Front Gate of Water Plant in New Jersey
Murder of an employee inside secure area raises question of security needs inside facilities
Each morning, workers arriving at the Passaic Valley Water Commission plant drive between 10-foot-high gates, past a uniformed guard and into the gaze of a surveillance camera.
Security inside the water treatment complex in Totowa, where a missing chemist was found drowned earlier this month, is a different story. All employees have access to all buildings, with no doors requiring pass cards and no indoor video capturing their movements, workers and borough officials said.
"There are no secure doors. There's no card access. Even if you come in from the outside you can go anywhere," said Allen Del Vecchio, Totowa's fire marshal and emergency management coordinator and one of the first to respond to the missing persons call. "We walked that entire site without any problem at all."
That freedom of movement and lack of surveillance have complicated the work of detectives seeking to explain how senior chemist Geetha Angara wound up dead in an underground water tank - apparently at the hands of one of her co-workers.
The question of why continued this week to bedevil Angara's relatives and friends, including a lab technician who was among the last to speak with the Holmdel woman and saw no signs that she was in trouble.
On the morning of Feb. 8, Harshad Naik found Angara in a staff break room, chatting with another colleague about favorite movie actors. "She was just the same cheerful Geetha I always knew," Naik said.
Authorities say the mother of three was last seen after 10 a.m. that day. A plant manager and Angara's husband, Jaya, called police late that night, sparking a search that ended with the discovery of her body the following evening.
Authorities believe a co-worker forced Angara through an opening that leads to the 35-foot-deep clearwell tank. About 60 of the plant's 85 workers have been interviewed, but detectives remain confounded by the crime.
"We have no apparent motive. We have no witnesses. Physical evidence is sparse to non-existent. Where do you go?" Passaic County Prosecutor James F. Avigliano said.
Commission officials declined to say if security changes are planned for the site. A spokesman said PVWC, which directly supplies water for 17 North Jersey communities, has invested $70 million in recent years "to ensure the safety and security of our water supply."
Naik said few workers would have any reason to walk through the purification building where Angara was last seen. Authorities say she was on her way to check water quality monitors that line a corridor above the tank where her body was found.
Normally, a 50-pound, aluminum plate covers the tank opening. The plate is kept in place with about a dozen screws, Del Vecchio said. But he and several officers who went to search for Angara found the screws either broken off or missing, he said.
"There's no way that thing was screwed down," Del Vecchio said.
Among conflicting points in the investigation is whether the panel was found in place or dislodged when workers first began searching for Angara.
None of the workers interviewed this week by The Record said they had ever come across an uncovered tank opening.
Family members declined to address the issue of internal security at the plant, but they have questioned why Angara's disappearance went unnoticed for more than 10 hours.
Their attorney, Greg Shaffer, said the family "just wants to make sure that if there are any deficiencies in the security that they be corrected."

How to clean smoke stained grout lines.
Just purchased a new house where the previous owner smoked alot. The tile work in the bathroom is newer but much of the grout lines appear to be smoke stained. Just like most of the walls in the house. I've tried Mr. Clean and that did nothing. I also sprayed a mix of bleach and water. That kinda worked. Anyone know of anything that would do the trick. Thanks.
Castrol Super Clean will take nearly anything off of anything:)
Give it a try, Just don't let it sit too long before you get it off, It can "set" a stain if it dries.
Worth a try, sells for around $6.00 gallon here at Wal-Mart.
have you tried a baking soda & peroxide mix?
I hear a toothbrush is the tool for the job, with a bit of elbow grease :)
Good Luck!
PS-Let us know if it works!!!

The day that the 2011 Ford Fiesta will be available in the U.S. is nearly here. The small car has already been a big hit on the Internet with two pre-launch social media programs. Its television debut will be a 60-second television ad that you can preview above. The spot debuts May 18, 2010, during the live broadcast of American Idol, which airs 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. EDT on FOX. Even with all this stardom, the Fiesta is still frugal, recently being certified by the EPA at 40 mpg highway, making it the most fuel-efficient car in its class.
The ad campaign for the new Fiesta – which arrives in dealer showrooms this summer – includes national broadcast, print, digital and out-of-home components as well as a comprehensive multicultural marketing strategy. The entire campaign is built around the tagline, "It's a pretty big deal."
The print ads get straight to the point with headlines like, "The Fiesta gets 40 miles per gallon. 21 hybrids do not," and "The Fiesta has enough new-world technology to put a 50-grand car to shame." The ads will be featured in a variety of publications – from women's magazines like In Style and Women's Health to men's lifestyle titles such as GQ and Maxim.
Ford is expanding the Fiesta website to include webisodes featuring agents from the Fiesta Movement proving – in their own unique ways – why Fiesta is better than the competition. More than 337,000 people have viewed the first six webisodes since they debuted last week. You can view several of these webisodes in the video playlist above after the 60-second ad spot plays.
The introduction of the new Fiesta in the U.S. started last year with the Fiesta Movement. In the ultimate foreign exchange program, 100 Fiesta Agents spent six months behind the wheel of a Fiesta, lifestreaming their experiences, and completing monthly missions to show you what the Fiesta is all about. By October of 2009, agents had accumulated more than 1 million miles total. And their Fiesta Movement-related content gained huge traction on the Internet, with:
* More than 4.3 million YouTube views
* More than 540,000 Flickr views
* More than 3 million Twitter impressions
Through the accompanying nationwide test-drive program, more than 162,000 customers have interacted with the Fiesta through walk-arounds and social interactions, and 35,000 have taken a test-drive.
Fiesta Movement Chapter 2 consists of 20 teams comprised of two agents each. These agents were selected from over 1,000 applicants. Their mission will be to redefine the way Fiesta is brought to market by interacting with consumers online and offline, while bringing Fiesta to their communities. After completing a challenge, agents will produce and place the creative content online at www.fiestamovement.com, where followers also can keep up with their favorite agents.

I am a 77 yr old young lady, who has the pep of a 39 yr old, wears in style clothes but realizes they have to be mostly conservative. I am married, have 5 children, 9 grandchildren and almost 6 great grandchildren (6th one due in June, I am an RN and retired 2 years ago and really miss my nursing. I've always kept my appearance up, but since retirement, my wt. is up.
So, I'm not going to the glue factory any time soon, so I've decided to improve where improvement is needed.
My experience thus far has been positive. I have a wonderful PS who in 2006 rescued me from loosing my leg after a motorcycle accident. Hes board certified and I have the utmost
respect for him and his skills.
I've had saline implants since 1974, never have had any problems with them and they are still soft and intact. My PS was amazed when he examined me. However, my breasts are sagging and I appear very matronly in whatever I wear. So, I am having explantation and a lift, aiming for the natural look. I am also having the mini TT at the same time, as a revision to an abdominoplasty scar, as I have gained weight and my tummy is not flat anymore...I know you may be thinking "now why would a senior citizen want to spend money on plastic surgery?"
Well, for one thing, its not comfortable to have saggy breasts that don't fit in a bra that is comfortable, and my belly is also uncomfortable especially when I'm doing exercises, so I pray that a nip and tuck will have me feeling comfortable till I meet the good Lord....which probably won't be for another 20 years, my family has longevity to middle 90's....I am healthy without any health issues at all and so I'm going to enjoy keeping myself attractive for my husband......I've had a face lift about 20 years ago, and my skin is glowing, I keep it that way by using the OBAGI skin care. so I'm going to be a real happy camper after I am in shape again...
I am seeing my PS for my pre-op appt on Mon. April 29th. My surgery is scheduled for
May 14th at 8 am. I am very excited and will keep you all posted...I guess with the "you all",
you can tell I'm a southern bell......:) God Bless you all and thank you for being interested in
My Story.... I have read and replied on many of your posts and I am truly proud of you gals.

Note to parents:
CAUTION: Motorized wheel toys have the potential for hair entanglement
To prevent entanglement, keep hair away from wheels.
If hair gets caught by winding around a wheel, simply stop the wheel by firmly grabbing it. Next, press the back or head button once to stop motor from running. Next, slowly unwind hair from axle by turning the wheel by hand.
Zhu Zhu Hamsters™ are not designed to be a sleep toy, remove the batteries if your child wishes to take it to bed.
Your Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster needs you!
Right out-of-the-box you can hear it "chatter" and make its own silly noises when you press its nose...
If your Hamster is already "exploring" and running around, when it bumps its nose it will make a startled noise, and back-up out of the way, and then run off to explore some more!
When you want to cuddle with or "reward" your hamster, pet it on the head (right behind the ears... they like that a lot) Your hamster will chirp and purr and coo contentedly. These little furballs love it when you pet them... and they'll keep "talking" until they get bored and go to sleep.
To let your hamster know it's OK to run around and explore its environment, press it on its back and watch them go! Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters love to run around and explore. If you want to calm them down, you can pat it on the head button to cuddle (and it will stop running) or you can press it on its back and you will hear your Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster yawn and then go to sleep.
Spare Parts
We are partnering with the charitable organization, Lighthouse for the Blind, www.lhbindustries.com , which provides meaningful employment for blind and legally blind individuals. They will be taking and filling orders for replacement parts for our hamsters and accessories*.
Costs are intended to cover normal shipping and handling, with any surpluses going to support their Charitable Mission.

With Nate Burleson off to Detroit, Baltimore targeting Kevin Walter and Miami still the favorite to land Antonio Bryant, Terrell Owens could be moving quickly up the Bengals' wish list, especially after the monthlong campaigning by Chad Ochocinco.
Pro Football Talk early Friday morning said that Owens is being looked at by two teams. Baltimore was mentioned by name but the Bengals are also at the top of the list since they need a No. 2 or 3 receiver with the release of Laveranues Coles.
Should Walter and Bryant go off the market, and that should happen in the next day or two, Owens would be the top unrestricted free agent out there. Yes, he's 36 but he also still has the ability to beat teams deep with at least seven receptions of 25 yards or more (the Bengals as a team had only 12 last year). Others out there include Derrick Mason (whose also 36), Chris Chambers and Torry Holt. Chambers might still be a bargain, but of the four, T.O. would be the best option.
Meanwhile, after being released on Thursday, Laveranues Coles said he did not enjoy his one season with the Bengals.
Coles told Dave Hutchinson of the Newark Star Ledger: "I didn't fit into the offense at all.(Quarterback) Carson (Palmer) wasn't comfortable with me. He likes tall receivers. He told the coaches he wasn't comfortable throwing to me.
"I didn't have a great year if you just look at my stats, but I think in the situation I was in, I did a pretty good job."
Other than that, it is shaping up as another somewhat quiet first day of free agency. It wasn't until Day 6 last year that the Bengals signed an unrestricted free agent (Coles) and they spent the first five days either re-signing their own or losing guys.

Don't forget to watch this!!
The change of sky colour at sunset (red nearest the sun, blue furthest away) is caused by Rayleigh scattering by atmospheric gas particles which are much smaller than the wavelengths of visible light. The grey/white colour of the clouds is caused by Mie scattering by water droplets which are of a comparable size to the wavelengths of visible light.

Trojans and Hildas
Here are some asteroids viewed in a rotating frame of reference where Jupiter almost stands still. The Trojans, in green, are asteroids that stay near the Lagrange points 60° ahead or behind Jupiter. They go around the Sun once each time Jupiter orbits the Sun. But the Hildas, in purple, go around the Sun 3 times while Jupiter goes around twice. We say they're in a 3:2 resonance with Jupiter.
The Hildas seem to be moving in a triangular pattern. But actually each one takes an elliptical orbit around the Sun. There are three kinds of ellipses. Two go farthest from the Sun near the Lagrange points, while one goes farthest from the Sun opposite Jupiter. Although the whole triangle of Hildas is nearly equilateral, it's not quite. The side between the two Lagrange points is a bit different from the two other sides. You can also see the whole triangle pulsing as Jupiter moves in and out!
These animated gifs were made by Petr Scheirich, and you can have hours of fun looking at his website: http://sajri.astronomy.cz/asteroidgroups/groups.htm
There's a lot to say about Trojans and Lagrange points, but let me talk about Hildas. Over 1,100 Hildas have been found, the being Hilda, named after the discoverer's daughter. It's big - 175 kilometers in diameter - but not very bright, because it's made of ancient stuff containing lots of carbon, similar to the nucleus of a comet.
The Hildas don't form a 'true' asteroid family, because they aren't fragments of a single parent object. Instead, they're a 'dynamical' family: they're defined by having similar orbits. Any Hilda's orbit has an eccentricity less than 0.3, an inclination less than 20°, and a semi-major axis between 3.7 AU and 4.2 AU. Remember, the semi-major axis of an ellipse is half the distance between the farthest points.
So, the Hildas are outside the main asteroid belt, which lies between the 4:1 resonance with Jupiter at 2.1 AU and the 2:1 resonance at 3.0 AU.
The density of Hildas near the triangle's corners is more than twice the density on the sides. The reason is that the Hildas move more slowly when they're farther from the Sun! So, they stay near the corners for an average of 5.0-5.5 years, but move along the sides of the triangle more quickly, for 2.5 to 3.0 years. The overall period of the Hildas is about 7.9 years, which is 2/3 the period of Jupiter.

Ten years ago today in 2004, NASA's robotic exploration rover Spirit touched down on the surface of Mars. Consisting of two rovers, the Mars Exploration Rover Mission (MER) received reinforcements three weeks later when robotic exploration rover Opportunity made a successful landing on Martian soil. Opportunity is still exploring the Red Planet to this day, paving the way for the eventual landing of Curiosity years later in 2011.
"We succeeded beyond my wildest dreams, clearly both Spirit and Opportunity succeeded in their missions and have left a big impact for future study," stated Ray Arvidson, deputy principal investigator for the Mars Exploration Rover Mission.
Arvidson continues, "We will be analyzing data from the Spirit rover for years to come; we have a lot of information so we have a lot more to learn from its mission. These rovers set the bar really high in terms of robotic exploration. They were well tested and well designed."
One of the groundbreaking geological discoveries was the observation of bright, white soil near Home Plate, a low plateau NASA identified for Spirit to explore upon landing on Mars. After the data was analyzed with the rover's on board X-ray spectrometer, scientists determined that the material was nearly 100% pure silica; positive evidence that the Red Planet once was the home of ancient steam vents and hot springs, similar to those found here on Earth.
"The data from Spirit show us that Mars was a very different place in the past from what we see today. This surface area that Spirit explored had a lot of explosions as it was a hot, wet, watery place," concluded Steve Squyres, principal investigator for MER.
Both designed for short, three-month long exploratory missions, Spirit and Opportunity have far surpassed NASA's wildest dreams. Bruce Banerdt, NASA project scientist for the Mars Exploration Rover Mission, stated the following:
"Spirit faced a lot of challenges on Mars. When the wheel went out, we had to relearn how to drive the rover. It is truly remarkable what we were able to achieve with this rover with only five wheels."

Susan Minker's Event Journal
How was your experience?
Frankly, no one wants to say anything bad about the iconic Olympia Dukakis but her role is quite limited and she's really not that good (she plays the "Chorus," not Clytemnestra, a much juicier role, camped up to the hilt by Caroline Lagerfelt). Rene Augesen strikes one note - hysteria - throughout her entire screaming performance as Elektra. Costumes were all over the place and staging was more annoying than effective.
