Walsh Doesnt See Domino Effect from K.G. Deal
Aug. 3, 2007
With Kevin Garnett off the market, more attention may shift to Jermaine O'Neal because he is perceived to be the most prominent name available. There's talk the Lakers, in the unending quest to make Kobe Bryant happy, will rekindle their pursuit. There's been some thought the Nets will reconsider what appears to be a decision to stick with the current roster.
So far, that's all speculation. Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh has seen no increase in actual activity since the Garnett trade.
"The Boston-Minnesota trade was being talked about before the draft, during the draft and obviously after the draft," he said. "There were a lot of teams that were interested in a player like Kevin Garnett. Most of those teams fell by the wayside early in the process and that's what made this Boston-Minnesota trade somewhat of a surprise.
"There may be one or two teams that felt they had a chance to get Garnett that will continue to search for that kind of trade but there's really no way of knowing that. So it's really up in the air as to whether this is going to shake loose teams that are going to continue to search for major trades but it's a possibility."
Of course, O'Neal's availability likewise has been an assumption.
"It's a similar situation to where it is every year," Walsh said. "You'll talk about every player on your team but whether you're going to do something or not depends on how good the trade is and whether it makes you a better team.
"There are very, very few trades that involve players of the caliber of Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Jermaine O'Neal, LeBron James, etc. They're few and far between."
Boston has thrust itself into the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, without question.
Beyond that, however, what really has changed? There's been so much discussion of a shifting balance of power in the East, I'm feeling a bit wobbly.
With Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joining Paul Pierce, the Celtics have a formidable trio that should certainly assure a reversal of fortunes in Boston. Of course, there is that small matter of the league requiring five players on the court at any given time, but that's Doc Rivers' problem.
Some have decided to ordain the Knicks contenders because of the Zach Randolph deal and the deletion of Steve Francis from the overcrowded backcourt. Others believe the Knicks simply traded a problem at guard for the same problem in the post. Will Randolph and Eddy Curry fit together any better than Francis and Stephon Marbury?
Orlando should be better with Rashard Lewis but that team always seems to make more headlines in summer than winter. Aside from the headline deals, the vast majority of moves have fallen into the category of tweaks, not overhauls.
"After all these trades are done, it always comes back to the same place and that is: how do all these teams come together, and what effect did trades or whatever have on each team?" said Walsh. "We changed coaches. What effect will that have? Each team has something that they're hoping lifts them up from where they were last year and that's what makes this year, in my mind, really exciting.
"You may now pick Boston to win the East, but it isn't like picking San Antonio to win the West. It's all up for grabs still, but they're in a better position than they were before the trades. And some of the Eastern teams have made what look like improvements on paper but you have to look at how it affects the way they'll play, the chemistry they have, all of it.
"It's always been humorous to me how in August there's this rush of articles after trades that declare who's now going to win. The interesting thing is that nobody really keeps track of those articles to see what happened."
After one remarkably odd season in Dallas, Austin Croshere has found comfort in more familiar surroundings by signing with Golden State.
The Warriors' executive vice president is Chris Mullin, Croshere's teammate his first three seasons with the Pacers. Golden State also has ex-Pacers Al Harrington, Stephen Jackson and Sarunas Jasikevicius. And Croshere was a senior at Crossroads High in Santa Monica, Calif., when Warriors point guard Baron Davis was a freshman.
Croshere averaged just 11.9 minutes, 3.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in Dallas, shooting an uncharacteristic 28.6 percent from the 3-point line. He signed a reported one-year deal for the league minimum
Were very happy to add Austin to our roster, said Mullin. He provides another veteran presence on our team and we feel that he is someone who will be able to come in and make a contribution.
With Chuck Person's hiring as an assistant to Reggie Theus in Sacramento, all of last seasons assistant coaches have found employment.
Dan Burke and Leonard Perry remained with the Pacers, while Johnny Davis (Memphis) and Chad Forcier (San Antonio) signed on with other teams.
"Chuck, who has built a strong coaching career in the league thus far, comes highly recommended by people within the league who I respect tremendously," Theus said.
Person also has a strong relationship with Kings forward Ron Artest, who has maintained his home in Indianapolis and frequently worked out with Person during the offseason.

HATTIESBURG — Several longtime members of the Hattiesburg Cable Advisory Board have resigned over a new franchise agreement with Comcast Cable that one board member has called a "detriment to citizens."
WDAM TV reports five of the 7 board members announced their resignations. They are chairman Ken Smith, Leon Pringle, Brown Miller, James Duncan and Jack Harris.
The board members are upset with the Hattiesburg City Council and the city administration over an agreement it signed with Comcast in August.
The board had opposed it and all five members who resigned said they only recently learned that the city council had voted on the new agreement.
The mayor and council will get together at a later date to discuss filling the vacant positions on the board.

Detailed Description:
Different antiplatelet drugs played various role in coronary artery disease. The mechanisms were unclear. Platelet reactivation maybe was one of major causes. Compared with clopidogrel, Ticagrelor is more powerful antiplatelet drug. However, because of increased bleeding and dyspnea risk, both loading double dose and following second dose time had potential risk and inconvenient in routine clinical work, especially in elective PCI of comparable stable patients in Chinese. The benefit and risk should be balanced in such patients. The investigators supposed loading single dose and followed by second routine time dose was superior to clopidogrel and safer than ticagrelor previously prescribed.

Fitting Instructions
All Venetian blinds come complete with all the fixings to allow you to easily fix your blind.
Please click below to view or print our fitting guides for Venetian Blinds:-
You will need to use the appropriate fixing for your venetian blind depending on the material of the wall or, window you are fixing it to.
Here are some guides to help with this process
When fitting directly into a wooden window, wood screws are the best option. Wood screws of 20- 25mm are recommended if your frame allows, to ensure that the blind is fixed securely.
PVC Windows
Although it is possible to fit your venetian blind to a uPVC window we do not recommend this method, as this is likely to void any warranty you may have in place with your window supplier. The alternative to this which we suggest is to fix the blind above the window on the wall wither inside or outside of the window. Once again, please ensure appropriate fixings for your wall type.
Fixing to a Wall
When fixing a venetian blind to a wall, you must choose the correct fixings for your wall type.
Hollow wall fixings or Raw Plugs are will be suitable. PLEASE NOTE: When operating the blind, exertion will be applied to one side of your blind so it is best to ensure that sides fixings are particularly secure.
If you have any other questions regarding your venetian blind please do not hesitate to call our customer service team who will be more than happy to help.

ICE Chills Mambo Seafood
Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided two outposts of the seven-restaurant Mambo Seafood chain yesterday and hauled off 33 suspected illegal aliens. According to KHOU, ICE also raided the company's corporate office and hauled off boxes of documents, but refused to release details.
More from Channel 11:
An Immigration Customs and Enforcement spokesperson said the agency was exercising a court order. "We will secure the facility and make sure that the business that we are conducting is not affected in any way," said ICE Spokesperson Greg Palmore. In a statement the restaurants' management said; "We are cooperating fully with the ICE inquiry and it is our intention to restore normal operations to the affected restaurants as soon as possible."
Phone calls from Eating Our Words revealed that both of the raided locations - 6101 Airline and 10002 Long Point - were open as of Thursday afternoon.

U.S. U-23s Drop Third Place Game 4-3 in PK Shootout
GUADALAJARA, Mexico (Thursday, February 12, 2004) - The U.S. Under-23 MNT tied Honduras, 1-1 tonight in the Third Place match of the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament before falling 4-3 on penalty kicks to finish fourth in the tournament.
Alecko Eskandarian and Emil Martinez each tallied their fourth goal of the tournament during regulation to move into a tie for the event's scoring leader with Bobby Convey and Mexico midfielder Diego Martinez, who scored on a questionable 98th minute penalty kick in their 1-0 golden goal win over Costa Rica tonight to win the tournament.
In the penalty kick round, Honduras converted all four of its attempts, while goalkeeper Donis Escobar saved shots by Logan Pause in the second round and Brad Davis in the fifth round to clinch third place for Honduras.
Like the previous match between the two teams, a 4-3 loss on Feb. 7 in which both teams rested their top players and those with existing yellow card cautions, the U.S. controlled the majority of the play, only allowing Honduras back into the match by virtue of penalty kick goals. In fact, of the four goals that Honduras scored against the U.S. in the two matches, three of those were from penalties.
This time out, while Honduras was missing just their back-up goalkeeper and fielded 19 players, the U.S. was reduced to 14 players due to the loss of their top attacking trio -- midfielders DaMarcus Beasley and Bobby Convey and forward Landon Donovan -- and defenders Nat Borchers (two yellows in the previous match) and Ricky Lewis (two yellows in last three matches) to suspension, as well as Zak Whitbread, who was injured in the team's opening 4-3 win over Panama.
The U.S. had their first good chance on goal in the 22nd minute, with defender Jose Luis Burciaga getting a head on a Brad Davis corner kick, but it was saved by Escobar. Just three minutes later, Eskandarian's free kick was just a foot high of the crossbar.
After going into halftime tied 0-0, the U.S. needed just five minutes in the second half to strike for a 1-0 lead. The series started with Gaven on the left flank, who found forward David Testo at the top of the box. Testo deftly back-heeled a perfect square pass into the path of Eskandarian, who took a quick touch and finished past Escobar in the 50th minute.
Eskandarian almost made it 2-0 in the 62nd minute, beating defender Maynor Figueroa into the box and firing a shot that Escobar was forced to save over the bar.
The U.S. had another golden opportunity to increase its lead in the 68th minute, when Davis sent a perfect cross from the left touchline over the head of a defender to Testo in the box, but his right-footed volley from 15 yards out rocked the crossbar and was cleared.
Honduras almost equalized in the 71st minute, as second-half sub Israel Abidan Solis beat defender Chris Wingert one-on-one, dribbling in on the right side of the box, but his hot clanged off the right post and out for goal kick.
The "catrachos" got their equalizer on a difficult penalty kick call on Burciaga, who went shoulder to shoulder with Wilson Palacios, with the midfielder sprawling out in the box. Midfielder Emil Martinez stepped up to convert the resulting penalty kick under the arms of a diving Warren in the 76th minute.
The U.S. had a few other challenges late in the match after forward Ed Johnson was brought on for Testo, but could not find the go-ahead goal. Clearly heading to at least one 15-minute overtime, golden goal period, the U.S. got a break when defender Hendry Thomas received a red card and was ejected in the 90th minute after elbowing midfielder Kyle Beckerman after a battle over a 50-50 ball.
But even playing a man up, the U.S. U-23s could not solve the opposition, who resorted to bunkering in for almost the entire 30 minutes of scoreless regulation. Honduras waited until an opportune counter in the 118th minute to go for the game winner, breaking out into 4-on-3 breakaway, but they squandered it with the U.S. recovering and Chevrolet Man of the Match Logan Pause tackling the ball out for corner kick.
In the penalty kick shootout, after Gaven converted, Pause's shot was saved. Johnson and Eskandarian converted the next two attempts, but Davis's fifth round attempt was also saved, giving Honduras the final 4-3 result after they were perfect on each of their attempts.
Sadly, the loss represented the final match for all but one of the 20 players on the USA's final Olympic Qualifying roster. Midfielder Eddie Gaven, who won't turn 18 until October 2004, will have a chance to play on the next Under-20 Men's National Team for the 2005 World Youth Championship, as well as the next Under-23 MNT that will be looking to qualify for Beijing 2008.
Finally, CONCACAF announced earlier today that midfielder Bobby Convey and forward Landon Donovan were both named to the All-Tournament Team.

Chevrolet Man of the Match: Logan Pause
On the qualifying tournament as a whole:
"I'm proud to have been the coach of this group. Our goal was to go to the Olympics, but we fell short of that. Mexico was a better team than we were. That was the telling game in the tournament. My message to my players was that's the measuring stick, that's the standard, in our zone of the world, in our age group. They should take a message from that, to use that as the bar and the standard."
On the inexperience of his team, and what they can learn from the tournament:
"We have a number of players on our team who are not regulars on their MLS club, and their goal is to become regulars on their clubs, and that is the path they need to follow if they hope to pull on the national team jersey at the full national team level."
U.S. U-23 MNT midfielder Kyle Beckerman
On tonight's result:
"It was disappointing, but I was really happy that the guys--that everybody--put out their best effort the way they did. It was amazing how everybody got their stuff together after such a tragic loss on Monday (the passing of Nicole Megaloudis, the step-daugther of assistant coach Thomas Rongen) and a tough result on Tuesday (the 4-0 loss to Mexico). To get back up and even come out and play a game was a lot to ask, and everybody came with a good attitude. I was just happy that everyone was on the field with me battling tonight. It was disappointing, but when it comes down to penalty kicks, it's basically a coin toss."
On the end of his Youth National Team career, which included a U-17 world championship tournament:
"The opportunity that the Youth National Teams gave me was unbelievable. All of the places I never would have seen otherwise, I got to go there and live there for a couple of weeks. It's just been amazing. It's helped my soccer grow so much. I have to give all the credit to (U.S. Soccer) for getting me to where I am now, especially with Colorado. It's just been a lot of fun. Hopefully, I can keep going and I'd love to try and make a push for the World Cup team. So far it's been awesome...first class."
U.S. U-23 MNT defender/midfielder Logan Pause
On the disappointment of the last two results:
"Obviously, it was a do-or-die situation against Mexico, and it's just crushing to go out knowing that it's one game and you're done. We didn't want it that night, and Mexico showed that they did. Then turning around and playing Honduras tonight, it would've meant everything in the world to get a win in our last go-round together, but it's been a good run."

Pittsburgh Huskies U16 squad treasures experience, memories
The Pittsburgh Huskies traveled to Troy, Mich., hoping to bring home a USA Hockey National Championship in the Under-16 Tier II division.
A couple of tough setbacks, including a 7-2 defeat at the hands of the Michigan Ice Hawkes in an elimination pool-play game April 5, scuttled the team's chances to make the playoff quarterfinals.
The other loss was a 7-3 final to the Southern Stars (Connecticut), the eventual national champion.
Despite not bringing home the gold, the team was able to bring home memories that will last a lifetime, as well as a 6-0 victory over the Quincy 67s from Massachusetts in one of its three pool-play games.
"The kids really surprised me this season with the execution of the method and style of play that we teach," Huskies head coach Vic Whann said. "It was a great season."
Eight players on this year's team went to nationals in 2009 on the Huskies U12 team.
"They realize how hard it is to get back to nationals," Whann said. "There were lot of talented teams along the way, and they appreciated the journey."
Christian Miller led the Huskies with five goals and two assists over the three games, while Dustin Davis and Cam Williams each added two goals. Jake Snyder and Nick Whann also put pucks in the back of the net during the tournament.
Davis had a team-best three assists.
The Huskies began the season with some new faces, as eight players from last year's group moved on.
"With that turnover, we really didn't know what we had," Whann said. "We went into preseason practices trying to formulate lines and defensive pairings that made sense. It was an accomplishment for the kids to come together and play good hockey."
Whann said a preseason tournament in Detroit, a hotbed for youth hockey, got the team ready for its Pittsburgh Amateur Hockey League season.
"Good way to see what we had against some good competition," he said.
The Huskies battled North Pittsburgh
for the top spot in the Midget U16 division, and finished second in the regular-season standings at 16-3-1.
North Pittsburgh beat the Huskies in a placement game before the start of the season.
"They rattled us pretty good in that game," Whann said.
But the Huskies came back and beat North Pittsburgh, 4-3, in an early-season game, and it proved to be North Pittsburgh's only PAHL loss, as North Pittsburgh would go on to win the regular-season and playoff championships.
The Huskies hoped to meet North Pittsburgh in the Midget U16 championship game, but they were upended by the Butler Valley Dawgs, 3-2, in the semifinals.
"I think we looked past Butler Valley, and Butler Valley is a good team," Whann said. "We beat them three times during the course of the regular season, and I think we suffered a little bit from overconfidence. I give Butler Valley all the credit in the world. They took it to us."
Whann said that lost to Butler Valley helped the team refocus for the state tournament and their shot at nationals.
"That loss let the team know that you can't take anything for granted," Whann said. "You have to come out and work hard every game. You have to play disciplined. It was a good learning tool going into states."
The Huskies started the state tournament at Ice Castle in Castle Shannon with a 2-1 overtime shootout loss to the Mid-State Mustangs, but they didn't get rattled and fired off three straight wins to take the state title.
"That was a tough loss, but we gained a valuable point from it," Whann said.
Included in that run was a 5-3 triumph over North Pittsburgh and a little revenge against Butler Valley.
"We knew going into the state tournament that North Pittsburgh was the team to beat," Whann said.
"The North Pittsburgh game was arguably the best game we played all year. We changed things up a little bit to combat their style of play. The luxury of playing them four times in the season gave us the opportunity to put in a game plan that we felt would be able to stop them. The kids really executed that game plan."
Goaltender Clay Bachman stopped 137 of 145 shots for a .945 save percentage.
"We had some tremendous goaltending throughout the season," Whann said.
Miller led the Huskies in the state tournament with five goals and three assists, while Davis added three goals and three assists.

'I found my niche in prison'
As part of a series of profiles for the BBC's Cracking Crime day, Steve Hawkes speaks to "career prisoner" turned probation officer Bob Turney about whether criminals can really reform.
Bob Turney can kill a conversation.
"There is a bloke in Surrey who has a metal plate in his head because I did him with an iron bar."
There really is no answer to that, so Bob is free to continue.
"There was a tyre lever handy, it was private property - he was in a coma."
"When he came round he would not press charges because he was scared."
More silence - I'm beginning to know how he felt.
"I denied doing it and the Old Bill had to let me go."
I start to speak - but Bob cuts me off.
"If I could find him I would beg him to forgive me."
Oh ... well ... er ... that's all right then - I manage.
Some 20 years ago Bob regained consciousness in a public toilet.
His shirt was covered in blood and both of his wrists were slit.
He had been drinking for four days straight.
But since then he has not touched a drop.
"I was admitted to a rehabilitation clinic after finally acknowledging I had a problem.
"The psychiatrist said I was institutionalised and now using hospitals instead of prisons to hide in and unless I changed I would end my life as a long-term inmate somewhere."
So Bob knows a bit about institutions too.
"I found my niche in prison.
Prison 'gave security'
"I became a career prisoner rather than a career criminal.
"It offered me a strong sense of security - boundaries I never had in the outside world.
"And although the attention I got was negative, at least it was attention.
"But prison could not change me because it did not make me take responsibility for my life.
"We were not given any purposeful activity and talked about drugs and crime all the time."
At the age of 58, Bob still spends most of his time talking about drugs and crime.
He is a probation officer attached to a Young Offenders Team in Reading.
"If I was Home Secretary for a day I would call for a return to family values," he said.
"In the 60s if someone was pregnant and not married they were shunned.
Electric chair
"But these days kids have relationships while they are still children.
"Crime prevention should start in the high chair and then perhaps it would not end in the electric chair.
"You have to nip crime in the bud."
Bob has seven children and a grandson.
But his own childhood was touched by tragedy.
His mother was deaf and when his manic depressive father killed himself, it was Bob who found the body.
He was just 10 years old.
Idiot boy
At school, Bob was dubbed "that idiot boy".
Severely dyslexic, he sat at the back of the class looking at picture books, oblivious to what his teachers were talking about.
"No one ever talked about dyslexia then - everyone just thought I was thick.
"A blow to the side of the head was the normal way to deal with someone who did not have the correct answer."
And, as we have already established, that is something Bob knows a bit about.
Bob's autobiography, I'm Still Standing, is to be made into a film.
It is a tale of retribution and repentance, restitution and redemption.
Bob is hoping the doctor who helped him through rehab will be played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, with whom he has already collaborated on a film for the probation service.
And he hopes to persuade Stephen Fry, whom he interviewed for his second book, Going Straight, to play his sadistic schoolteacher.
But who will play Bob?
He fixes me with a steely stare before cracking a smile.
"I'm in discussions with Leslie Grantham ..."

text: Judge approves Freedom evidence-collection request By Kate White March 4, 2014 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A bankruptcy judge approved a request from Freedom Industries on Tuesday to hire a company to help collect and preserve its electronic documents, like cell phones and emails.The documents from current and former Freedom officials must be collected to comply with subpoenas issued by U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin's office and other agencies investigating the company after a Jan. 9 chemical leak into the Elk River fouled the drinking water of 300,000 West Virginians, an attorney for the company said.Freedom will pay Vestige an estimated $42,500 to collect, restore, catalog and preserve the evidence, according to Steve Thompson, an attorney for the company.Freedom filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Jan. 17. Chapter 11 allows a company to reorganize and continue operating, but during a hearing last month, Freedom's attorney said the company would soon shut down.Goodwin is conducting a criminal investigation of the leak. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board also is examining the incident.Vestige has already started collecting the evidence, Thompson told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ronald Pearson. "They started, I believe, when the subpoenas were first issued by the U.S. Attorney's office," Thompson said.A federal grand jury in Beckley started meeting about the leak in January, officials have said. Federal hazardous materials investigators in January climbed into the tank where the leak occurred.A tank at the company's Barlow Drive location leaked Crude MCHM, a coal-cleaning chemical, into the river. The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection is overseeing the cleanup, which is being carried out by Freedom Industries and contractors for the chemical company.The hole in the tank "appears to have come from an object piercing upwards through the base of the affected storage tank," according to bankruptcy documents filed by Freedom.There are about 240 unsecured creditors to whom Freedom owes money. Many of the unsecured creditors are those who filed lawsuits against the company before its bankruptcy filing. There are at least 30 lawsuits against Freedom.Reach Kate White at email@example.com or 304-348-1723.

Mainland High's Seniors Say Goodbye as a Flashmob [VIDEO]
You missed a dramatic ending to the high school careers of Mainland Regional High School's senior class if you weren't at last night's commencement ceremonies.

Well done by the class of 2012!


text: West End stars have been treating fans to a musical Christmas countdown to raise money and help transform lives with safe water and sanitation. The Room 9 Advent Calendar has been organised by musical theatre performers Anton Zetterholm and Rob Houchen – named after their dressing room in one of London's top theatres. The singers are calling on people to help them raise £2,400 for WaterAid's work. So far, theatre fans have donated more than £1,500 to help transform lives with safe water and improved sanitation. Anton said: "It's very easy to take water for granted even though it's so important. Just to get through one show I drink around three litres of water. It's shocking to think that 2,000 children die each day because of diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. "We have a guitar in our dressing room and from day one we have always tried to create a good atmosphere backstage by writing songs. It's been great to support a fantastic cause while doing something we enjoy." Every day at noon, people can open a new door on the calendar to reveal a song performed by theatre stars from London and New York. They perform a mix of classic Christmas tunes and their own song adaptations. Here's today's song: Chris Wainwright, Head of Communications at WaterAid, said: "It's always inspiring to see the creative ways people raise money for our work, and it's been great to have the support of West End performers. "It can cost as little as £15 to help one person access a lasting supply of safe water, improved hygiene and sanitation. If the Advent calendar reaches its target of £2,400, it could transform the lives of 160 people – what an incredible gift for Christmas that would be!" To see (and hear!) the musical Advent calendar, visit the Room 9 website, or join in the fun by following the fundraising efforts on Twitter @Room9Advent. Spread some Christmas cheer and help them get to £2,400 today > See the thank you song we made >

Last night's 2014 MTV Movie Awards was full of hits (hat tip to Zac Efron's six-pack) and misses (we're looking at you, Pia Mia Perez).
But one celeb totally (and unexpectedly) killed it: Nicki Minaj. Best known for her over the top makeup choices, the rapper swapped her go-to combo of hot pink lips and pastel wigs for a cat-eye, dewy skin, and a hair color actually found in nature. To copy Minaj's gorgeous look IRL, try Cynthia Rowley Beauty Liquid Liner in Black. The smudgeproof liquid liner creates a laser-like inky line.
Dressed in a black Alexander McQueen number, she completed the flawless look with statement-making gold jewelry. (She even managed to upstage feline internet phenomenon Grumpy Cat, who walked the red carpet in a très chic oversized, floppy hat.)
After years of Lady Gaga-esque red carpet shenanigans, we are totally loving Nicki's less-is-more vibe. What do you think?

Verona Tote With Laptop Pocket
This laptop tote caught my eye because it's a shoulder bag. For me a shoulder bag is often more convenient. It seems to be roomy enough for other things like business documents, notebooks, water bottle, a snack (always important). It has a pull down flap on one side for cell phone, business cards, etc. Beautiful Italian leather. $279.00.

Small Engine
Small Engine Troubleshooting Problems? Ask a Mechanic Now.
Welcome to JUST ANSWER small engines, let me try to help you !! The gap between the coils and fly wheel should be .010in.
The book calls for .008 to .012in.
Would coil packs cut off spark to the spark plugs?
main problem is no spark to plugs.
reconfirming that no spark to plugs is the main problem.
Coils can go bad, but usually not two at same time. Check the kill wire that connects the tow coils, by unhooking it and checking for spark.
Two, not tow, sorry.
Do coil packs require an ignition power source?
Seems like this engine does not have a power source connected to it.
No, the magnet in the flywheel and the coil is all it takes.
Thank you for the information, have a gr8 day!
The kill circuit is the only thing that can cause coils not to fire. If kill wire is grounded, no spark. Sometimes the key switch can cause problem. That is why you need to remove the kill wire to test.
Thank you.

Show Prices: £28.50 - £106.00
Ballo Della Regina / La Sylphide Synopsis
Precision, speed and beauty are the essential qualities of this Royal Ballet programme. 'Something virtuoso. Wonderful Verdi music' was how Balanchine described his inspiration for Ballo della regina, the first of the two works. Using ballet music from Don Carlos, Balanchine fashioned choreography that requires dazzling footwork as well as precise leaps and turns from its solo couple in sections that quickly alternate in mood to match Verdi's tuneful and varied score. The heritage of the Danish choreographer Bournonville is found in the unique delicacy and lightness of his choreography, passed down in an unbroken tradition in his home country. His La Sylphide has become one of the great classics of ballet and returns to The Royal Ballet repertory in a production by fellow Dane and Bournonville expert Johan Kobborg. It is a touching drama full of Romantic colour to tell the story of how a young man chases in vain a beautiful, elusive spirit at the cost of his happiness as well as that of his fiancée. An evening of dazzling choreography and great Romantic ballet that brings the whole Company together in style.

Well it happened again. There I am, deep in sleep, this past "early" Saturday morning. 2:45 (am) to be exact. The phone rings.
I answer it and the guy says, "Yea, we need a ride, we are at 574 Lucas Street". "Okay", I reply. "Go stand out at the corner, and I'll be there in 10 minutes", I added.
You see, I live within 15 minutes, of a big college town, and my taxidermy yellow page add, is in the next column to the taxi service. Young kids, lots of beer, closing time, Get the picture?
Anyway, I wonder how long they waited? (he, he)
Return to The Taxidermy Industry Category Menu
....And the BEST part is, they're so drunk they won't remember who they called.
And DON'T call me for tax advise in early April. "Sure it's legal to take as a deduction" and "Take at least twice that for your deduction, it's in the tax code on page 922!" Those are a couple of the "pearls" of tax wisdom, I've handed out.
Obviously you use your home and business phone in conjunction. Even though mine are separate, we shut off the ringer on our home phone in our bedroom. That way no wake ups in the middle of the night. The only phone call I'm going to get anyway is possibly a relative dying and they can wait til morning - lol!
Yep , in the past 2 months I've had about 6 calls . The worst part is that some of the people tell me the operators give them my phone # . Even the operators are stupid . Rick
hang up on me one day. After she answered the phone, she looked at her caller ID which read "Real Stuff Taxi" and thought I had called the wrong number. Go figure!
...I would bet most if not all of the taxi vs. taxidermy calls are routed via directory assistance. They just find the number and go. It's like they have some quota to meet or something...
You guys are gonna LOVE my latest Yox Yax if you find this thread funny...it should be out any time now...

" Manufacturer: Sweet Botanicals / Type: Sweets "
We received a box of these "Hangover Drops" as a Christmas present and I was not too sure what to make of them at first. I have barely drunk any alcohol since last summer so I was not sure when I would get the chance to test these out to see if they do what they say on the box - to me "Hangover Drops" means "is going to get rid of your hangover".
You get a flimsy when open, see through plastic tub containing 150g of oval shaped sweets. Th tub measures around 3 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches deep. The sweets are hard like boiled sweets and have a fine sugar coating. Each sweet measures 2cm long x 1.5cm wide and 1cm deep. So they are not too big to fit in your mouth comfortably nor are they too small to feel like a sweet. I would guess at there being around 45-50 sweets per tub as we still have 35 left and I have polished off a good few of these just pottering around the house.
I was feeling like something sweet after my lunch the other weekend, and spotted these sat on top of the fridge. I decided to open the pack and have a few to see if they tasted as awful as I assumed they would (the words 'Botanical' and 'Apothecary' had resulted in me thinking they were going to taste like raw nettles or something equally as botanical. The pack is flimsy and opening the pack simply means eeling back one of the two short bits of sellotape holding the top half of the plastic tub in place.
I was instantly pleasantly surprised as these taste like Vimto! They are really yummy and I enjoyed eating them just for their fruity Vimto like taste. The sweets do slowly disintegrate as you eat them but I ended up biting into them after a short while and they are hard all the way through and not chewy in the middle as some hard sweets can be (cola cubes etc). These do have a similar sugar coating to a cola cube.
These contain:
Bramble, Raspberry, Lemon, Ginseng and Rosehip flavourings.
The ingredients on the pack are:
Sugar, glucose syrup, citric acid, panax ginseng, natural flavourings, colouring- plant extract.
So despite the glucose syrup/ sugar- these do contain very natural ingredients.
There is no nutritional information printed on the pack.
Around 15 minutes after eating two of these I felt a mild tingle and slightly more awake for around 10 minutes- so I assume that had something to do with the ginseng. It was very mild and did not last very long.
Mr Norton woke up with a hangover around a week later after treating himself to a few bottles of white wine one evening and although he has this crazy rule he will not eat anything sweet until he has eaten something savoury first (he's quite unique, we just go with all his little quirks).... He did actually have two of these (he must have been feeling rough!) and his first proclamation was "MMMMMM" followed shortly after with a "well, they must do something as my headache is subsiding"- whether it was the painkillers or the Hangover drops or a combination of both, Mr Norton concluded these so actually help you out a bit if you have over indulged in alcohol.
It would make sense that they would make you feel a bit less like you have been hit by th infamous Beer Scooter when you wake up with a hangover as they have sugar and glucose in which is always good to make you feel a little less ill. You give people who have had a shock or who are going into shock something sweet as it helps your body/ brain to cope, sugar also does as Mary Poppins pointed out "help the medicine go down" so if you have had some painkillers, something sweet it always good to help them get to work. So, I can see how they may be beneficial if you are hung over.
I have looked these up on line and they sell for around £2.80 a tub and are sold in chemists mainly or you can but them online. I would recommend these to have in the house if you like boiled sweets or even to have in the car glove box as ginseng may help you feel more alert (might be good in the car if you are driving- but not with a hangover of course!). They are not the sort of thing you would buy frequently, more as a one off random purchase or something to keep in the cupboard.
Although the jury is out whether they do actually do miracles for hangovers, they did seem to do something for Mr Norton. They are quite pricey, but I think they were a nice present and we will savour them whilst they last! The plastic tub is a bit flimsy and I think they would have been nicer in an actual tin- that would justify the price a bit more, but that is my old criticism.

Conservatives might find it hard to digest but young women in
are choosing it as a profession and are becoming Hindu pundits ....sorry…. punditai. Soon you will find women solemnizing marriages. Women performing religious ceremonies are becoming a common scene in eastern Uttar Pradesh. India
The number of women pundits is still negligible in
. But with more and more women candidates queuing up for the Functional Sanskrit course in universities in India the number is sure to increase. India
Dr Asha rai, D.Litt in Dharmashastra, who teaches the subject in
feels that the field should no longer be a male domain and gender bias must end. "Touching a woman purohits feet should not be considered an insult. In ancient times women used to perform rituals and various types of poojas." Lucknow University
As expected, male pundits have already expressed their reservations on women performing pujas. But people who have hired women pundits feel they are far better than their male counterparts.
Interestingly, attitudes seem to be changing now with people who invite women purohits to perform religious processes actually considering it a matter of great prestige. As businessman Pawan Gupta says, "The women pundits who performed the puja at my house recently made the function stand apart. I think compared to male pundits, they have greater clarity and concentration and leave the other participants spellbound."

Diabetes indicators, Australia are a set of key national statistics on diabetes, risk factors and diabetes-related complications. These standardised measures provide important information for establishing benchmarks; monitoring the health of the population; comparing population groups; and evaluating the effectiveness of policy, prevention and management strategies.
The diabetes indicators presented here are based on National indicators for monitoring diabetes (2007). In this report, a set of indicators were identified as high priority for informing and guiding policy. Where possible the most recent data are used to update the indicator, however data are not available for all indicators included in the 2007 report.
The definition and data sources of each indicator are described in the indicators specification table.
Almost two-in-three adults (63%) were overweight or obese in 2014–15, with rates remaining stable since 2007–08.
However, rates of obesity among adults increased by 13% between 2007–08 and 2011–12 (from 24% to 27%), and have remained stable since then (28% in 2014–15).
Two-in-three adults (66%) did little or no exercise in 2014–15. While rates of physical inactivity declined between 2007–08 and 2011–12, since then rates have been stable.
The proportion of adults not consuming the recommended amounts of fruit and vegetables remained stable between 2007–08 and 2014–15:
In 2011–12, over half (51%) of those with type 2 diabetes were effectively managing their condition.
There are currently no data available to update this indicator.
Prevalence of self-reported diabetes has increased―proportions have tripled over the last 2 decades, increasing from 1.5% to 4.7% between 1989–90 and 2014–15.
Type 1 diabetes incidence rates remained relatively stable between 2000–2014, fluctuating between 11 and 13 new cases per 100,000 population each year (in 2014, the rate was 11 per 100,000 population).
Note: there are currently no data available on the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
Cardiovascular disease among people with diabetes is on the rise―proportions increased by 17% from 52% in 2011–12 to 61% in 2014–15.
Vision loss caused by diabetes remained relatively stable at 8% between 2011–12 and 2014–15.
End-stage kidney disease among people with diabetes increased from 4 cases per 1,000 people in 2001 to around 7 cases per 1,000 in both 2011 and 2014.
Hospitalisation rates for lower limb amputations remained relatively stable between 2000–01 and 2014–15, fluctuating between 3 and 5 per 1,000 people with diabetes (in 2014–15, the rate was 3 per 1,000 people).
Diabetes-related death rates have remained relatively stable at an average of 57 deaths per 100,000 population between 1997 and 2013 (in 2013, the rate was 55 per 100,000 population).
This information was last updated in August 2016.

Guo Named AGF Teacher of the Year
Sunday June 28, 2015
Xinming Simon Guo 1d, of Chicago, Illinois, has been named the AGF Teacher of the Year, winning a free trip to the 2015 U.S. Go Congress in St. Paul, Minnesota. Guo has been active in youth go promotion for years, first partnering with the Confucius Institute in Chicago in the fall of 2012 to offer go instruction to Chinese language classrooms. "This program has been very successful," Guo told the Journal. "Some schools requested more instructional hours, and some schools added go to their after-school program. More teachers joined this program in 2014 and 2015. One school started a tournament after my introduction courses. Meanwhile, I have started to train teachers to meet the increasing demand for go in Chicago's schools."
In 2012, Guo founded the GoAndMath Academy, whose mission is "to use go to help develop students' math ability, especially number sense." In 2013 and 2014, Guo organized several workshops, one was to aid Chinese teachers in the Chicago area in bringing go to the classroom as a part of Chinese culture. The other two workshops were directed towards math teachers at ICTM (Illinois Council of Teachers of Mathematics) in October of 2013 and MMC (Metropolitan Mathematics Club of Chicago) in February of 2014. "During these workshops, I gave a presentation on the link between go and Common Core State Standards," Guo told the E-Journal. "I taught teachers how to play go and how the game can be integrated into math classrooms. Specifically, the teachers learned ways to incorporate go to help students develop number sense and incorporate three domains in Common Core standards — Counting and Cardinality, Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Number and Operations in Base Ten." Guo's approach to integrating go into American school curricula affected about 3,500 students and 50 teachers in 2013, and subsequently 6,500 students in 2014.
"As a licensed math teacher and a go instructor, I will continue to research how go helps develop students' number sense and other math abilities. Currently, I am designing a go and math curriculum that can be easily used in school settings, especially in math classrooms." Guo is currently affiliated with over forty schools in the Chicago area, three universities, and three museums and libraries. Guo will give a talk at the US Go Congress on Monday, Aug. 3. "My plan is to let go players know that go can help math and it is correlated with the new Common Core Math Standards. This is a powerful research result to extend go to school programs, and this is what I have done for years. Usually I present this go and math correlation to math teachers and educators in conference. I will adjust it for go players. I am a go player for math teachers and math teacher for go players," adds Guo. -EJ special report, by Amy Su. Photo: Guo (standing) teaching kids, from GoandMath Academy's Facebook page.
Vendors Donate for Go Camp
Wednesday June 24, 2015
"The AGA Go Camp would like to extend a hearty thanks to Kiseido, Slate & Shell, and Yellow Mountain Imports for their generous donations to the 2015 camp," says camp director Amanda Miller, "in addition to go lessons and outdoor activities, we also run small tournaments and other go-related activities every night. These activities include 13×13, pair go, and team tournaments, and we plan to use these items as prizes in those events. We've received some especially generous donations this year, and we have more than enough to go around, so every camper should receive at least one prize!" Donations include books, travel go sets, and other go-related merchandise.
For anyone between the ages of 8 and 18 who wants to join in the fun, there's still time to register. This year's camp will take place from July 18th to July 25th at YMCA Camp Kern in Oregonia, Ohio. Directors Amanda Miller and Nano Rivera are excited to have Myungwan Kim 9P as this summer's professional teacher, and they invite those interested in the camp to apply for need-based scholarships, which are still available. Anyone who participated in the NAKC or the Redmond Cup is eligible for a $400 scholarship. "The camp currently has 15 registered campers from the ages of 8 to 18 and with strengths ranging from 30-kyu to 1-kyu. Camp should be a lot of fun, regardless of age or rank," adds Miller. For more information, visit the camp website, or email Amanda Miller at email@example.com. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor.

More Go Players Streaming
Thursday June 18, 2015
More go players and teachers are starting to stream their games on Twitch, the world's leading video platform and community for gamers. More than 45 million gamers gather every month on Twitch to broadcast, watch and chat about gaming. Several go players are getting in on the action, including Shawn Ray 4d, who reviews games and holds lectures; Battousai 5d, who teaches and has lectures using different go servers; and Xiaocheng-Stephen Hu 3d, who goes over many go concepts.
Shawn Ray will have Yoonyoung Kim 4p, a pro from South Korea, in his next lecture this Saturday at 8 pm central time, on June 20th. "This should be a fun event as well as my first professional guest on stream. If it goes well I also plan to do more events like these," Ray notes. The event can be watched on Ray's Twitch channel here. He also has a list of teachers that are streaming reviews and teaching games, which can be found here.
Xiaocheng-Stephen Hu, also known as xhu98, is the host of an ongoing tournament between teachers found on OGS and KGS. The schedule and participants can be found here. "I am really enjoying the tournament," says Triton Perrin, "of course I am not strong enough to get far, but it has inspired me to work just a little bit harder to do my best against other teachers I look up to. To me, it seems like this tournament is helping the go community come together and get more people involved." Hu has a lecture every Friday for all ranks, and occasionally has players join him in his lectures. Times can be found on the spreadsheet link from Shawn Ray above.
Josh Allen, also known as Battousai, has been doing lectures for years, and now puts his videos on his website, as well as Twitch and YouTube. Click here to visit his site. Allen has lectures every Wednesday afternoon from 3pm to 9pm EST. "I love games and problems, but I don't even play go,' says username Wreqt, "I stick around because I like you. Your instruction and teaching is fantastic, and it is a blast to hear your commentary on this game. Thanks for such a great channel!"

Go Spotting: Hikaru no Go in Symmetry Plus
Tuesday June 16, 2015
Symmetry Plus, a magazine for young mathematicians in the UK, published an article about Hikaru no Go and math in its latest issue. Calin Galeriu, a professor at Becker College, writes that go is a "board game with an incredible amount of mathematical content." Young people reading Hikaru learn about area, the coordinate plane, deductive and inductive reasoning, and more. The problem solving techniques Hikaru and his friends use for go problems are similar to those used when solving mathematical problems.
But the manga does even more than introduce mathematical concepts, Galeriu argues. Hikaru no Go promotes a "message of hard work and dedication" that applies to more than learning go. It teaches kids about the values of staying calm, of using intuition, of perseverance, and of working together. Hikaru no Go is an introduction to go and mathematics, but it also "offers our youngsters an authentic learning philosophy" that lasts for life. Galeriu's article can be read in full here.

Mexico Bests Portland in School Match
Tuesday May 26, 2015
Mexico City triumphed over Portland, OR in a friendly children's tourney held May 16th on KGS, reports organizer Peter Freedman. Each city fielded a team of six children, ranked from 10-21k. They participated in a three-round tournament using 19×19 boards and KGS handicaps. "Luke Helprin's parents hosted the Portland team at their house, and his dad Ted graciously provided snacks and helped with Spanish," said Freedman. Portland got off to a good start in round one by winning 4 out of 6 games. Round two was a tie with each team winning 3 matches, setting the stage for a decisive showdown. In the third round, Mexico City came up from behind by winning 5 out of 6 matches. -Austin Freeman with Paul Barchilon. Photo by Siddhartha Avila: Members of the Mexican team Skyping with Portland.

Chicago Kids Compete in First Tourney
Thursday May 21, 2015
Students from Andrew Jackson Language Academy(AJLA), in Chicago, just finished their first go tournament for kids in the Chinese program, reports organizer Xinming Simon Guo. "Students first played with opponents in the same grade, and then the winners in each grade competed for the school championship, which was won by Winston from, the 7th grade," said Guo. A year ago, few students at AJLA had ever heard of go (weiqi in Chinese). "We started to introduce this game to our students in March of 2014. The kids loved this game. I still remember that they were chanting 'Weiqi Weiqi' while waiting outside of the classroom after the first lesson", said Christina Xu, the Chinese language teacher at the school, who also ran the tournament.
The weiqi class is part of the Chinese Artists-In-Residency Program, co-sponsored by the Confucius Institute in Chicago and Guo's own GoAndMath Academy. "We support teachers in integrating weiqi into language teaching classrooms," says Guo, "participating and learning are more important than winning. Weiqi is also an innovative tool for teaching elementary math. Our research shows that there exists a natural connection between weiqi and the Common Core State Standards of math. During the game, students experience numerous math concepts without even noticing them." The school is considering bringing more weiqi classes to the students, and planning to organize a 2nd weiqi tournament next year. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor.

Top 5 Moments of the 2011 WSOP Thus Far
We are around two weeks away from the 2011 WSOP Main Event. A lot of big moments have happened so far, and I thought I would give my top 5 moments of the 2011 WSOP so far.
#5. Phil Ivey Sits Out 2011 WSOP
Some of you will question why this goes on a Top 5 list, but for the first few days of the WSOP, Phil Ivey's lack of prescience this year was the big story. That lack of Ivey in the events is definitely felt by those that love the game, and if stories are true, the impact of the lawsuit may have long lasting effect on Full Tilt's ability to repay funds to U.S. players.
#4. Eugene Katchalov Epic Comeback for $1,500 Stud Bracelet
At one point during heads-up play with Alessio Isaia, Katchalov was behind 6:1 in chips and had just over 6 big bets remaining in his stack. He then proceeded to go on a run that not only saw him regain the chip lead, but ultimately pull off his own monster chip lead before he pulled off the comeback victory. This was the first WSOP bracelet for Katchalov.
#3. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier Wins Stud World Championship
Much like Eugene Katchalov, Bertrand Grospellier had to pull of his own comeback against Steve Landfish. There were a couple of differences. First, Landfish had a 14:1 chip lead over Grospellier at one point during heads up play and the next was that Grospellier had just over 2 big bets remaining.
Grospellier went hot at exactly the right moment to make the comeback and he rode that wave until he captured his first bracelet. Ironically, this was the first ever stud tournament in Grospellier's illustrious poker career.
#2. Jason Mercier Wins 2nd Bracelet
Going into the final table of the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Max Event, Jason Mercier held the chip lead. He was able to make it to heads-up play, but was behind Hans Winzeler to start the match-up. The two exchanged the chip lead for a while before Mercier pulled away and finally took down his second bracelet.
This was Mercier's second bracelet in PLO. He won his first bracelet in 2009 after winning the $1,500 PLO Event. Mercier continues to show the poker world why he is among the best in the world at tournaments.
#1. John Juanda Comes Back From 3:1 Down to Deny Phil Hellmuth 12th Bracelet
Phil Hellmuth looked to have his 12th bracelet locked up as he entered heads-up play with John Juanda in the $10,000 NL 2-7 Lowball Event. Juanda faced a 3:1 chip deficit and proceeded to catch good hands and make some hero calls at the right time to come back and take the chip lead. Hellmuth did give up and put up a fight, but in the end, Juanda was not to be denied.
John Juanda now holds five WSOP bracelets with his recent win. This is his second in lowball as he took down the $1,500 Triple Draw A-5 Lowball Event in 2002. Juanda also won the 2008 WSOP Europe Main Event.
With two weeks of prelims still ahead as well as the 2011 WSOP Main Event, there is still plenty of time for many more memorable moments. How many will trump the ones above? Time will tell, but one thing is for certain and that is that it will be a great ride.

Intertemporal evaluation criteria for climate change policy: the basic ethical issues
The evaluation of long-term effects of climate change in cost-benefit analysis has a long tradition in environmental economics. Since the publication of the Stern Review in 2006 the debate about the 'appropriate' discounting of future welfare and utility levels was revived and the most renowned scholars of the profession participated in this debate. But it seems that some contributions dealing with the Stern Review and the Review itself mixed up normative and positive issues to defend the own position. Furthermore, as we argue in this contribution, it also seems that the debate misses the heart of the problem. The aim of this work is to bring together economic and philosophical reasoning about justice and intergenerational equity in the context of climate change. So we adopt the normative view in order to present the most important ethical issues that, particularly in the context of climate policy, are most relevant for the choice of intertemporal welfare criteria. Subsequently we explore whether ethical considerations may also be helpful to determine the parameter values (or at least to delimit their range) which, after the choice of some type of intertemporal social welfare function, are needed to specify the concrete criterion that is employed to make decisions on climate policy.

Scarlett Johannson's Uncensored SodaStream Super Bowl Commercial Found
Scarlett Johansson's SodaStream Super Bowl commercial might not be hitting television screens during the game, but we have it all in its uncensored glory right here.
Scarlett Johansson's SodaStream Super Bowl commercial might not be hitting television screens during the game, but we have it all in its uncensored glory right here.
Maybe you can beat the real thing.
If you're a sugar lover -- or a news viewer -- you're aware the recent soda ban that was supposed to go down in New York didn't happen. Naturally, to celebrate, the city went crazy in elation, rocking out with their super-sized Coca-Colas and drenching each other in the sugary goodnes that is soda. Or maybe that was just on 'CONAN'...
Mountain Dew is about to become part of a balanced breakfast.
First there was soda, carbonated sugar water that was sure to expand your waistline. Then there was "diet" soda, which didn't add any calories to the equation but was sweetened with chemicals that may not be so great for you.
Now, in Japan, there is something called Pepsi Special. This drink is so chock-full of chemicals -- mainly indigestible dextrin -- that there are claims it can actually make you skinnier.
If you've been hearing about the "soda ban" that was just passed in New York City, and you were wondering just what exactly it entails, this is (sort of) the video for you.
Sony Pictures has slowly been eeking out teasers for James Bond's upcoming adventure in 'Skyfall,' and whether you can bring yourself to admit it, we've all been a little 007 obsessed lately.
First there were all those trailers and movie posters storming the web, then came the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony (leave it to the Queen to out Bond James Bond) and now the franchise is taking over Coca-Cola... for a limited time only.
When you drink your favorite sodas, you're getting more than just a kick of caffeine.
France's National Institute of Consumption tested 19 popular carbonated soft drinks and found that 10 -- including Coke and Pepsi -- contained a very small amount of alcohol.
By this time next year, residents of New York City won't be able to buy an absurdly large and absurdly overpriced cup of soda to go alongside their absurdly large and absurdly overpriced vat of popcorn when they are enjoying a movie.
That's because New York mayor Mike Bloomberg has proposed a ban -- which is widely expected to be ratified by the city's board of health -- that would outlaw the sale of sugary drinks that are over 16 ounces.
While most teens are preparing to spend big bucks on a prom dress, Colorado's Regan Kerr decided to make one herself using -- get this -- 5,114 soda can tabs and wear it to her high school dance on April 28th.
Before he became Vice President, then Delaware Senator Joe Biden was commonly referred to as a
"Gaffe Machine." Looks like he could have messed up again while giving a speech.
Gross fact of the day: if you stick a mouse in Mountain Dew it will dissolve into a "jelly-like substance."
Lawyers for PepsiCo, which makes Mountain Dew, were forced to concede this most unappetizing of facts in a court of law as they contested a $50,000 suit from Ronald Ball of Wisconsin, who claims he found a dead rodent in his Mountain Dew can mid-sip.
Anyone who's ever been cheated by a vending machine should pay close attention to this video, in which a group of people score three sodas for the price of one. It's a small win, for sure. But it's a victory nonetheless.
Coca Cola, a company with a notorious history of making changes to its product that the public didn't approve of, has stepped in it again.
Last month the soft drink giant introduced a white seasonal Coke can featuring polar bears as part of campaign to raise money to help save the endangered species. However, Coke drinkers rebelled against the new design -- with the most common complaint being they looked too much like silver Diet Coke cans -- and the soft drink giant announced they would discontinue production of the white cans and reintroduce the polar bear can with a more traditional red background.
Look, we all know suicide isn't something you should usually joke about, but Michael Abraham has made it kind of funny by posting on Mountain Dew's Facebook page.

Denver Nuggets' Chris Andersen Poses For PETA's Anti-Fur Campaign, 'Ink, Not Mink'
Waka Flocka Flame appeared in the campaign earlier this year, and now inked up NBA player Chris "Birdman" Andersen (Denver Nuggets) is the latest to choose "Ink, Not Mink."
The 33-year-old basketball pro is the latest to display his extensive tattoo collection in a campaign for PETA's iconic "Ink, Not Mink" campaign, enjoying others to pick tattoos to cover their skin instead of an animal's fur.
Each year, millions of animals (including foxes, minks, coyotes, rabbits, and even dogs and cats) are bludgeoned to death, electrocuted, strangled, or skinned alive -- all in the name of fashion.
Andersen feels for them, and wants to do his part to support a cause for anti-fur.
"These animals aren't dying in a good way. ... Animals, they don't deserve to be beaten or slaughtered [for fur]," he tells PETA.
For every coat, collar, cuff, or piece of trim made from real fur, animals were trapped in the wild or kept in cages their whole lives, only to suffer agonizing deaths. Chris urges his fans never to buy or wear fur and shares an important message alongside PETA.
"Be aware of what was really going on behind the scenes, and tell your friends and your family members what's really going on and not to purchase fur," he said.
Below is a behind the scenes look at Andersen's "Ink, Not Mink" photoshoot, as well as a little about why he wanted to be involved.
PETA is also running a contest, giving away the PETA T-shirt worn and autographed by Chris Andersen in his shoot. Head to PETA.org to enter.
