I don't exactly have a problem with it being there, but the infobox that was on this page before was deleted. Also, why doesn't any other vehicle article have an infobox? Hbriz 08:21, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Someone has deleted the information in location sections about the Patriot from Stevie's Car Thefts remains in its place after completing the car theft missions. I added this information because it has happened on my game, but it seems since it was deleted that it was only my game that this occurs. I can take the car but it still keeps re-spawning, Does the car remain there for anyone else? Or is this just a glitch that has happened to me? Hbriz 05:45, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- I think it's a glitch, i read what you wrote and tried to find it, it wasn't there. However, the info was gone from the page anyway.

The Patriot in GTA III
Buchodude (talk) 08:04, June 18, 2013 (UTC) The bulletproof patriot in GTA III is best used in the last mission, but it would normally get destroyed, and even if it survived, it'd probably disappear because you spawn in a different location after the mission.

Journeyman Maddox was one of the members of Darren's party who went to Uldaman. He was the youngest journeyman in the group. After moving away from the group in order to smoke his pipe, he saw a pair of flaming red eyes open in front of him. Maddox felt a sharp pain in his side, as a cruel voice spoke from the darkness. "Need a light?" His fate is unknown.[1] (DF 113)

When inquired about her recent 'Omg! Ben f except my final rose!' tweet, the 'Client List' star explains to Ryan Seacrest, 'I was looking for something pop culture to sort of tweet about.'
Jennifer Love Hewitt is in line with "The Bachelorette" reject Ben Flajnik about them not having any special relationship with each other. The Samantha Horton of "The Client List" made use of her Wednesday (August 17) interview with Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM radio show to clarify that she is "totally single".
Back on August 2, Love caused a stir with her tweet about Ben that read, "Omg! Ben f except my final rose !!! I love that ring. Neil lane u rock!! Happy for Ashley.... Gotta book a flight to Sonoma !!!:):)" When asked about it during the chat, she clarified, "I was looking for something pop culture to sort of tweet about."
The "Ghost Whisperer" star went on to explain, "I'm new to Twitter. I wanted to have fun with the tweeters out there in the world. So, I sent out funny tweets about Ben F. and then it got all blown out of proportion." She did admit to have met Ben by coincidence, but said with a laugh, "Rumors are rumors," when questioned whether she has ever made out with him.
Earlier this month, Life & Style reported that Love flew to San Francisco on August 6 and had a sexy date with Ben at Lion's Pub. One witness said, "Ben from The Bachelorette is making out with Jennifer Love Hewitt," while another claimed, "Oh yeah, Ben and Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared to be dating."
Quick to deny the swirling speculation was Ben himself. Shortly after news of the sexy date came out, he took to his Twitter and cleared up the air. "Dear Rumor Mill, I am not dating anyone," he wrote. "Far too busy with work right now @evolvewines to even think about it. Go Giants. Out."

LOOKING for a new jacket for winter?
Well, if you're like an increasing number of Australian consumers, you'll look no further than the internet to start your window shopping.
A recent study by the Australia Institute shows 65 per cent of shoppers used the internet to compare products and prices even if they didn't end up buying online.
And shoppers are doing that in increasing numbers, too. Last year we spent $10.5 billion on the web and it's growing fast.
Research also tells us that most of us prefer to shop locally if offered competitive prices and an equal range of choices. But therein lies the problem.
When The Age went virtual window shopping for a jacket, it started with embattled department store David Jones. Australians love to support an underdog.
But the online search garnered just 15 jackets. None of which took our fancy.
So, it was over to Myer. This time, the search turned up 25 jackets, ranging from $59.99 to $499. The lack of choice meant the search had to go on.
It wasn't until we did the search at British e-tail clothing giant Asos that the vast discrepancy in product range and price, described by retail analysts this week, between the websites of Australia's biggest department stores and some of the world's most-visited clothing e-tailers, became apparent.
At Asos, we were given 248 fashionable jacket styles to choose from - conveniently categorised according to price, colour, size, brand and style. The average price was between $50 and $150 and the site offered free delivery and free returns.
At the equally popular British fashion website Net-a-porter.com, more than 500 on-trend jackets were on offer. At British fast-fashion giant Topshop, there were 166.
Matt Glasner, from online data company Experian Hitwise, says the greater range of choice, as well as the competitive pricing on these websites, demonstrate why Australian retailers are losing out to the international retailers.
The company's data shows that half of all department stores Australians visit are based overseas, and 31 of the 100 most visited websites in the apparel category are international.
He says traditional retailers, who have been slow to embrace online, are also losing market share to a growing number of domestic online-only retailers such as Ozsale.com.au - the most visited fashion site by Australian consumers (according to Experian); EziBuy Australia (the fifth most-visited website) and shoe e-tailer Style Tread (7th).
An online search at EziBuy turned up more than 350 affordable jackets. But in terms of fashionability, much of the range left much to be desired. So, it is back to Asos and Net-a-porter for the winter shopping spree to begin.

Well done, very easy!
The app is very easy to use. The lite version works very well without hassle and the kids even love to play with it.
Great app but..
Great app, does what it says but the prompt window boxes don't fit on the iPhone 4 screen so they're hard to read and use. Pretty minor issue that I expect they'll clean up soon.
Not worth it
The app doesn't work, unless you're taking a picture with the camera right then and there. You can't use a photo from your library, unless you pay for the Pro version. If you want to edit photos that you already have, it'll be better to find another app.

Matthew - Chapter 21
Matthew Chapters
1 When they were near Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 saying to them, 'Go to the village facing you, and you will at once find a tethered donkey and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3 If anyone says anything to you, you are to say, "The Master needs them and will send them back at once." '
4 This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet:
5 Say to the daughter of Zion: Look, your king is approaching, humble and riding on a donkey and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had told them.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt, then they laid their cloaks on their backs and he took his seat on them.
8 Great crowds of people spread their cloaks on the road, while others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in his path.
9 The crowds who went in front of him and those who followed were all shouting: Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heavens!
10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil as people asked, 'Who is this?'
11 and the crowds answered, 'This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.'
12 Jesus then went into the Temple and drove out all those who were selling and buying there; he upset the tables of the money-changers and the seats of the dove-sellers.
13 He said to them, 'According to scripture, my house will be called a house of prayer; but you are turning it into a bandits' den.'
14 There were also blind and lame people who came to him in the Temple, and he cured them.
15 At the sight of the wonderful things he did and of the children shouting, 'Hosanna to the son of David' in the Temple, the chief priests and the scribes were indignant and said to him,
16 'Do you hear what they are saying?' Jesus answered, 'Yes. Have you never read this: By the mouths of children, babes in arms, you have made sure of praise?'
17 With that he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night.
18 As he was returning to the city in the early morning, he felt hungry.
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it and found nothing on it but leaves. And he said to it, 'May you never bear fruit again,' and instantly the fig tree withered.
20 The disciples were amazed when they saw it and said, 'How is it that the fig tree withered instantly?'
21 Jesus answered, 'In truth I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt at all, not only will you do what I have done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, "Be pulled up and thrown into the sea," it will be done.
22 And if you have faith, everything you ask for in prayer, you will receive.'
23 He had gone into the Temple and was teaching, when the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him and said, 'What authority have you for acting like this? And who gave you this authority?'
24 In reply Jesus said to them, 'And I will ask you a question, just one; if you tell me the answer to it, then I will tell you my authority for acting like this.
25 John's baptism: what was its origin, heavenly or human?' And they argued this way among themselves, 'If we say heavenly, he will retort to us, "Then why did you refuse to believe him?";
26 but if we say human, we have the people to fear, for they all hold that John was a prophet.'
27 So their reply to Jesus was, 'We do not know.' And he retorted to them, 'Nor will I tell you my authority for acting like this.'
28 'What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He went and said to the first, "My boy, go and work in the vineyard today."
29 He answered, "I will not go," but afterwards thought better of it and went.
30 The man then went and said the same thing to the second who answered, "Certainly, sir," but did not go.
31 Which of the two did the father's will?' They said, 'The first.' Jesus said to them, 'In truth I tell you, tax collectors and prostitutes are making their way into the kingdom of God before you.
32 For John came to you, showing the way of uprightness, but you did not believe him, and yet the tax collectors and prostitutes did. Even after seeing that, you refused to think better of it and believe in him.
33 'Listen to another parable. There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard; he fenced it round, dug a winepress in it and built a tower; then he leased it to tenants and went abroad.
34 When vintage time drew near he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his produce.
35 But the tenants seized his servants, thrashed one, killed another and stoned a third.
36 Next he sent some more servants, this time a larger number, and they dealt with them in the same way.
37 Finally he sent his son to them thinking, "They will respect my son."
38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, "This is the heir. Come on, let us kill him and take over his inheritance."
39 So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?'
41 They answered, 'He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other tenants who will deliver the produce to him at the proper time.'
42 Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this is the Lord's doing and we marvel at it?
43 'I tell you, then, that the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.'
45 When they heard his parables, the chief priests and the scribes realised he was speaking about them,
46 but though they would have liked to arrest him they were afraid of the crowds, who looked on him as a prophet.

Bible Resources
The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.
Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

Glen Campbell & Alzheimer's
June 23, 2011 by Post Team
Glen Campbell & Alzheimer's, The famous country singer Glen Campbell has Alzheimer's disease, announced today. The sad news was communicated in an exclusive interview with People magazine and his wife Kim at his side.
Campbell told People magazine that he wanted the fans to be aware of their condition and planning a farewell tour of America. What is some sad news, but here is praying for Mr. Campbell. Even if you're not a fan of country music, at least give some of his ear, especially my favorite "Rhinestone Cowboy". And hopefully find a cure for Alzheimer's disease.
In that sense, Alzheimer's disease is more than "memory loss" and People magazine website has a link to the 25 accompanying symptoms. The fact that you or your parents may forget something does not mean they have Alzheimer's disease. But if they forget the same thing several times a day, indicating no short-term memory, which is a sure sign of a problem of this magnitude.
A representation of the pop culture of the extreme memory loss was demonstrated in 2001 classic Memento, Christopher Nolan. In that film, Guy Pierce plays a man who is short-term memory is nonexistent. That did not stop trying to find the murderer of his wife – a trip that takes you to a person. Himself. Moreover, the loss of an idea of?? The correct time or place is another symptom. If you see these problems begin to develop with their loved ones, work to get help for them as soon as possible.

MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker's recall election victory and votes to curb pensions in two California cities are set to embolden political leaders across the United States to take on labor unions.
Walker on Tuesday survived a recall election forced by labor leaders and liberal critics opposed to his bold moves to limit the powers of public sector unions in a Midwestern state that could be a battleground in the November 6 presidential election.
Voters in two of California's biggest cities, San Diego and San Jose, on Tuesday overwhelmingly supported cutting pensions of city government workers to save money.
With many states and cities facing budget problems, it won't only be Republican politicians who are likely to see the results as a catalyst for attempts to curb costly retirement and other benefits for public sector workers. The San Jose mayor pushing the cuts in that city is a Democrat.
"This is a watershed moment, a historic moment," said Gary Chaison, professor of labor relations at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. "They (unions) gambled heavily and they lost heavily. It's a real problem for them," Chaison added.
"I think governors and mayors will look at this and say the unions are fair game now. They seem disadvantaged and weakened. You can smell it," Chaison said.
Union leaders such as AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa said that Republicans bought the victory in Wisconsin with tens of millions of dollars in spending, overwhelming what the unions contributed.
But CNN exit polling data showed that 88 percent of those surveyed made up their mind in Wisconsin before May, when the deluge of television ads reached a crescendo.
The data also showed that 52 percent of Wisconsin voters approved of restricting the collective bargaining rights of public sector unions, as Walker had done. Even worse for unions, 37 percent of those who said they had a union member in their household voted for Walker, according to CNN data.
This was a wake up call for unions and the Democratic Party, said Marick Masters, a professor of business and director of labor studies at Wayne State University in Detroit. "Both have lost momentum and inspiration. They underestimate the intensity of the feeling against big government and organized labor itself, particularly in the public sector," Masters said.
The Wisconsin result posed difficult questions for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, which has struggled to match the enthusiasm of his 2008 White House run and has battled to compete financially with the huge sums of money being raised by conservative outside groups.
At the least, the result moved Wisconsin from a relatively safe haven for Obama, who won it by 14 percentage points in 2008, to a competitive tussle with Republican rival Mitt Romney.
Several high-profile Republican state governors including New Jersey's Chris Christie, Louisiana's Bobby Jindal and South Carolina's Nikki Haley campaigned alongside Walker in Wisconsin, and said were thrilled by the outcome.
Haley has sparred with the Obama administration over a National Labor Relations Board finding that Boeing put an aircraft factory in South Carolina to avoid union restrictions in Washington state.
"I have been a union buster and proud of it," Haley told reporters in the South Carolina capital of Columbia on Wednesday. "We are going to make it difficult for unions."
The outcome on Tuesday was not solely a Republican ideological drive against unions, experts said.
Chuck Reed, the mayor of California's third-largest city San Jose, said a quarter of his city's budget now goes for retirement benefits to union workers. Voters overwhelmingly supported cutting those benefits.
"Pension reform cuts across political lines," Reed said. "It's not a Democrat-Republican issue at all. Most of my city council is Democrat."
States and cities such as San Jose are drowning under the weight of unfunded obligations and benefits pledged to union members.
"Voters are starting to understand the current deals cannot be followed through on," said Tammy Frisby, a research fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
Union representation in the U.S. workforce has been in decline for decades to only 11.8 percent of U.S. workers in 2011 from a peak of 28.3 percent in 1954, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This masks an explosion of unionized workers in government jobs to nearly 37 percent of all public sector employees, the figures show.
Fifteen states have no restrictions on collective bargaining by public employees, according to the National Conference on State Legislatures. Many more, including Wisconsin, allow collective bargaining by at least some public employees but with either minor or major restrictions.
This contrasts sharply with the private sector, where only 7 percent of workers are now represented by unions, according to latest government figures.
Very few private workplaces offer full pensions for retirement and even the 401(k) plans offered at many workplaces have suffered with the U.S. economy. Voters who have no or limited benefits are less likely to be sympathetic to union members crying foul over reductions in generous benefits paid for by taxpayers.
While Wisconsin went the farthest, 10 states - Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Wisconsin - passed laws in 2011 alone that restricted the collective bargaining rights of public employees in some way, according to the National Conference on State Legislatures.

With the kick off of the second half of their season hours away, the New York Mets are certainly feeling good about themselves. The Mets won eight of ten games before the All Star Break, giving themselves a boost in the standings up from last place to third in the National League East. The Mets have set their sights much higher in the second half, and one Met made a bold proclamation.
Jenrry Mejia told reporters before leaving for San Diego that he believes the Mets will make the playoffs. Mejia said, "We're gonna make it, because we believe in ourselves. We're gonna make the playoffs, we're gonna be there." Mejia backs up a sentiment David Wright had before the break, when he told ESPN New York's Adam Rubin that he felt the Mets could give playoff contenders a run for their money.
It is nice to see that Mejia and some of the Mets believe they can be a playoff contender. Reaching the playoffs would likely require approaching 90 wins to secure a wild card berth. The Mets would have to go 45-22 over their last 67 games to win 90 games, which is improbable but not impossible if the Mets can carry over their strong first half finish into the second. The Mets have a lot of work to do to back up Mejia's guarantee, and that will start tonight in San Diego.

Eurocopter X3 Reaches 180 Knots
Eurocopter's X3 hybrid helicopter has reached its first speed target of 180 knots…
Eurocopter's X3 hybrid helicopter has reached its first speed target, slightly ahead of schedule, when it flew at 180 knots (207mph) for the first time during tests at the Istres Flight Test Center, in southern France, November 29th, 2010.
The company had originally planned to reach such speeds by the end of December 2010. The November flight puts them ahead of schedule as the program moves into the next phase; a period of inspection focusing on the life of parts, especially the gear box.
During its recent tests, the X3 was able to fly for a sustained period at 12,500 ft, and 'performed maneuvers up to 60 degrees angle of bank.' [Ares Defense Blog]
Herve Jammayrac, the test pilot, says the helo is showing "handling and flight qualities that are exactly in line with our ground-based simulator evaluations." [Ares Defense Blog]
After the inspection period is complete, the X3 will continue flight trials starting March.
By the end of 2011 Eurocopter will decide if the X3 is worth marketing, if the program goes ahead, the company has given themselves 6 years to produce and market the craft.

Progress through focused development.
Innovation is key to our success. Many surgical and diagnostic procedures have migrated from the inpatient setting to the cost effective outpatient setting resulting in significant growth of the ASC industry. This migration has been propelled by clinical advances, including improvements in anesthesia and pharmaceuticals; innovation in surgery, including development of technology for minimally invasive procedures; and an overwhelming preference among physicians and patients for quality and convenience.
Expansion of reimbursed procedures
Approximately 3,500 surgical procedures performed in ASCs are reimbursed by Medicare. As the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) continue to add surgical procedures to Medicare's list of approved procedures, this will further expand our opportunities for growth.
Through our strong relationships with vendors and suppliers we remain ahead of the innovation curve constantly researching new procedures, techniques, and technology, and equipment.
Providing our facilities with a comprehensive package on a complete implementation of new innovations allows for an accelerated implementation timeframe.

Integrating applications usually involves at least one of three costly approaches: hand-coded software, complex EAI platforms, or design and deployment of an SOA.
Jitterbit offers a fourth approach: integration by business analysts with no coding involved. Its Java client-based software allows business analysts to point to applications and data services or open the URLs of Web services to get a list of all methods, data types, and so on. They then drag and drop the components you want to tie together, using wizards to create a metadata repository of all those connections. With those relationships established, the Jitterbit environment provides the run-time engine to test the integration and then deploy it.
The use of metadata is crucial because that allows users to share integration work with others, whether business partners or someone down the hall with a similar need. Jitterbit CEO Sharam Sasson believes this will give smaller businesses the ability to more quickly integrate applications not just internally but also with business partners and customers.
CTO Ilan Sehayek acknowledges that the integration process requires upfront work to understand data types and methods, typically by the user delving into product and service documentation because Jitterbit can't know what the underlying service logic is. "But the next users will need to know a lot less," he says, given that the integration profile can store contextual information and even user notes, as well as sample data, to make the relationships clear. And Jitterbit hides the transport, security, and conversion layers from the user, handling the provisioning and execution automatically.
Jitterbit's technology is available in an open source form, though there's also a commercial form that includes EDI support. Further down the road, Sasson says the company hopes to deliver metadata-based workflow tools that allow the same type of abstraction both to let business analysts do the work and to let those workflows be shared easily with others.

The Pacific Fast Mail
Class B 2 Truck Shay
|Model Photo
|Model Information
Brass HO scale two truck Class B Shay, imported by Pacifc Fast Mail, built in Japan by United. PFM Shay models are among the most popular HO brass steam models, even though most were imported with solid brass wheels and a relatively crude gearbox. With addition of a new flat can motor and flywheel these models run even better and a bearing can be added to the gearbox to improve and stabilize gear mesh. Details on how I did it below.
|The Mechanism
As would be expected with a Geared locomotive, this model's mechanism has a lot of gears. All the axles are driven from gears on the right side of the engine; a center gear tower powers the side drive shaft thru gears hidden behind the cylinders. A large Pittman motor provided dependable power and also provided alignment for the upper gears. Misalignment of these upper gears can lead to poor running, premature gear wear and ultimately an inoperative model. The photos below show the mechanism and the upper gear alignment I found in a used model.
Not all of these hand-assembled gearboxes are exactly the same. Slight variations in assembly angles can mean that the upper gear on the motor shaft cannot be properly aligned and keep the motor inside the space available. Note how the stock motor is as wide as the engine frame in the photo below. This is also a problem in other PFM geared models. Better gearbox designs provide bearings for alignment of all the gear shafts as part of the gearbox, especially the critical upper worm shaft. Adding a second bearing on the upper worm shaft will allow improved alignment of the gears independent of the motor shaft. A short universal drive will be used to connect the motor and gearbox. Replacing the large Pittman motor with a more modern flat can motor will also allow the use of a flywheel to provide smoother running qualities.
The motor shaft on this model is 2.4mm, a common size on Japanese models. NorthWest Short Line (NWSL) among others have made 2.4mm hat bearings available that can be used to support the front end of the worm shaft. To create the front bearing support I used K&S square tubing, rectangular tubing can also be used. For a foundation for the bearing support I soldered K&S 1/4" angle stock to the vertical post. The angle stock can be held to the frame by screws or soldered, your choice. I drilled a slightly oversized hole for the bearing in the vertical post. I mounted the worm on a piece of 2.4mm shaft stock (NWSL) and positioned it for good alignment and used the shaft end to mark the vertical post for the bearing hole. I drilled a slightly oversized hole for the bearing, this will allow some final adjustment before soldering the bearing to the post.
Be sure to add thrust washers in the gearbox to eliminate end to end play in the worm shaft.
|Motor and Flywheel
I have used several flat can motors in PFM geared models. Many years ago I was using Canon CN2231 motors, then I switched to the Kato motor used in their HO diesels. This model has the motor secured to the frame with a phosphor bronze strap soldered to a K&S angle; on the other side the strap is tightened to the angle piece with a screw. Both angles pieces are soldered to the frame. On other models I mounted the motor with 5 minute epoxy on a flat brass plate (see Climax guide). The flat brass plate is held to the frame with screws. Both methods allow easy removal of the motor. A small flywheel is mounted on the worm shaft extending out the rear of the gearbox. A short Hobbytown universal drive completes the drive train.

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa again rejected calls for tough action against Zimbabwe on Tuesday ahead of a visit by Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is expected to press the issue.
Blair is scheduled to meet South African President Thabo Mbeki, who has been mediating between President Robert Mugabe's ruling ZANU-PF party and the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) opposition through quiet diplomacy.
Britain and other Western powers have accused Mugabe of widespread human rights abuses and mismanaging the economy.
Newspapers said Blair, who has urged African leaders to pressure Mugabe, might make another attempt to push Mbeki on Zimbabwe this week during a farewell trip to the continent.
South African Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said in a speech to parliament on Tuesday that a hard line on Zimbabwe would only backfire.
"You must not push the country over the brink, you must pull it back from the brink. That is our approach," she said.
Mbeki, who successfully mediated in several conflicts on the African continent, has been criticised for being too soft on Mugabe and his increasingly authoritarian government.
South Africa wields considerable power by having Africa's biggest economy and is seen as setting an example on democracy after decades of apartheid.
Blair's efforts on Zimbabwe so far have earned him the wrath of Mugabe, who said in April he had beaten off any attempt by Blair to "get Zimbabwe to collapse".
Mugabe has remained defiant, despite growing political tensions and an economic freefall that has worsened with inflation now at more than 3,700 percent.
Dlamini-Zuma said countries should not take a "war approach" to Zimbabwe and pursue mediation.
Mugabe has rejected international mediation on Zimbabwe's political crisis and dismissed accusations that he has run down one of Africa's most promising countries and abused human rights in a bid to hang on to power.

- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1. In a large saucepan, bring 1-in. of water, cauliflower and broccoli to a boil. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
- 2. In another large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in the cheese, jam, curry, salt and pepper. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat.

Reviews for Swiss-Almond Floret Bake
Average Rating
Reviewed Jan. 1, 2014
"I have tried this veggie dish twice now, and my family have not cared for it. I thought we would like swiss cheese and curry sauce since we love asparagus mornay, but over all, this was very bland in flavor, the casserole was too wet after baking, and the vegetables got too soft. although I don't usually overcook veggies, I have not been successful with this recipe to find a firmer texture and thick flavorful cheese sauce. We will not be trying this again"

Parkinson's Meds Help -- But May Cause Scary Side Effects
Last updated: Jun 30, 2008
Worried that your parent gambles too much? Or maybe you've noticed she buys loads of things she doesn't need from TV shopping channels? If she also has Parkinson's disease, the culprit may be her medication.
A new study, from the University of Pennsylvania, isn't the first to make the link, but it's the largest to date, involving more than 3,000 people. It finds that dopamine agents used to treat Parkinson's symptoms place people at higher risk for impulse-control disorders. The risk is two to three times higher for such disorders as:
- Problem or pathological gambling
- Compulsive buying
- Compulsive sexual behavior
- Binge eating
It seems that dopamine helps motor control but also affects the part of the brain involved with reward systems. The effect held true both for levodopa and for dopamine agonists (pramipexole, ropinirole, pergolide). Thirteen percent of Parkinson's patients on these meds had at least one impulse disorder -- and more than a third of that number experienced multiple disorders.
What's the message here for all of us?
- Odd behaviors may not be what they seem (and are usually a red flag of some kind).
- It's not enough for your parent to be informed about the side effects of medications being taken -- caregivers need to be aware of them, too.

Hands On: Windows 7 Release Candidate (Build 7100)
- Installation
- Internet and Networking
- Security and Compatibility
Security and Compatibility
A surprise feature of the Release Candidate is Windows XP Mode, a virtual environment that lets you run older XP applications that are simply incompatible with the new operating system. This mode is based on Windows Virtual PC, which isn't included in the operating system by default, so no one's really gotten to see this environment in action. That said, some Web Sites are reporting that it's based on a next-generation version of the software that requires processor-based virtualization support. This software will reportedly be available via a free download to Windows 7 users.
The bottom line is that Windows 7 Release Candidate is more polished than the beta; seems to be better optimized for operating speed, responsiveness; and has a few new features that are of interest, too. We've only had it in the labs for a few days, however. We're going to be testing it extensively in the coming weeks, and we'll continue to report as we discover more about the latest version of Microsoft's operating system.

You have placed a deposit, but you have not piad for the answer yet. Let me ask you a couple of questions
What kind of work are the two of you doing?
What is he depressed about?
What type of behavior?
Real, for some reason I have not been getting your responses. I apologize for the delay, and I strive to make every customers experience here a great one. Because of the problems we've been having, I am going to see if I can get you a $2 refund, if that is ok with you (as long as you are satisfied with my answer, of course)
As for your relationship, he is asking you to overlook his nagging as his previous partners have done? That sounds very arrogant, ie; ignore me while I torture you. You said you do not feel willing or able to do this, so let me ask you, if it wasn't for the job, would you leave?
No one deserves to be treated badly. ESPECIALLY when they are going out of there way to help someone. Unfortunately sometimes when people know that they need you or depend on you, it can make them even more difficult to get along with, or make them treat you even worse. Maybe that's the case here and he's angry that he has to depend on you. You've asked, what is reasonable to expect of him? It's reasonable to expect that he will treat you like a human being considering how much you've been there for him. The fact is, you've supported him and yet he still continued to treat you badly, perhaps what he needs is for you to bail on him so he can truly understand what you've done for him. If you leave, nothing will be your fault, because you tried to give him a hand and he pushed you away.The best indicator of future behavior is past behavior, and you've told him how you feel, to no avail. It's not likely that he will change anything since he's already made excuses for his behavior and basically told you to deal with it. It's only left to you to decide if you will.
I welcome your thoughts, let me know if you want to talk more.

Lodz (Nov. 18)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Three Jewish boys of this city were tried in the district court here on charges of having desecrated a Christian Holy Picture.
The accused, Abraham Munlicic, 14, and Israel Benker, 11, were sentenced to two weeks in jail, Simon Dickermann, 14, was sentenced to one week in jail. The sentences were suspended for one year. Two other Jewish boys, younger than the ones sentenced, were acquitted of the charges.
The American Ort will take part in the direction of the forthcoming tour of the Hakoah Club of Vienna in the United States, a statement from the headquarters of the Ort declared. By arrangement with Mr. Nathan Agar, owner of the Brooklyn Wanderers, which is sponsoring the tour, the Ort will participate in the coming visit of the Jewish players, which is scheduled for April and May of the coming year. Preparations are already being made in Vienna, and the Club has been strengthened by the acquisition of several Jewish stars noted throughout Europe.
The last tour of the Hakoah, which gave much impetus to Jewish participation in athletics, was sponsored by the American Ort. Out of this tour has grown a persistent demand for the return of the Vienna players, culminating in an invitation extended by the United States Football Assn., and addressed to the Hakoah and to the Oesterreiches Fuss-ball Verband.
The coming tour will include visits to Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Newark and New York.

Customer Reviews for Speedo Futura Biofuse Swimming Goggles Clear/Clear
4 out of 5 Great value pair of googles
Newitts Verified Purchase (16 Nov 2016)
Bought these goggles for my teenage son as the last pair fell apart. They fit great, give him a great view and are very comfortable. Great value for the money.
3 out of 5 Speedo goggles
Newitts Verified Purchase (24 Sep 2016)
Not 100% happy with these goggles as they are not watertight. They seem light and feel ok but when they let in water it obviously is not what is expected or wanted.
5 out of 5 Speedos
Newitts Verified Purchase (13 Jul 2016)
First time I've used newitts. Good quick hassle free delivery. Product brand new and delivered in good condition. Would definitely recommend.
5 out of 5 Very good adult goggles
Newitts Verified Purchase (6 May 2016)
These are very popular, the best adult goggles I have come across for resale purposes. Good range of colours available.
5 out of 5 Best goggles I've had
Newitts Verified Purchase (11 Feb 2016)
Yes, they are! Clear pair, easy fit and quite high suction. Comfortable and easy to adjust. Newitts are pretty good too. Recommended.
5 out of 5 Great goggles, great service
Newitts Verified Purchase (27 Jan 2016)
The goggles are great, they fit well and are comfortable.
Excellent service from Newitts in terms of correspondence and delivery times.
5 out of 5 Outstanding value
Newitts Verified Purchase (18 Nov 2015)
Swim googles are such personal things -- some people seem able to keep water out of their eyes with almost any old goggle, but I've had to try out dozens of different types to find something that fits my wrinkly old face. I didn't hold out much hope for these, but at such a low price I thought they'd be worth a try. To my surprise and relief they fit very well, and my swimming pals couldn't believe the low price.
5 out of 5 Just the job
Newitts Verified Purchase (9 Nov 2015)
I've spent more on goggles that don't match up to these. Great seal and crystal clear. Second pair I've had now.
5 out of 5 Comfy and at a fantastic price
Newitts Verified Purchase (24 Aug 2015)
I lost my first pair of these goggles and have now got an identical pair, that's how good they are.
Very comfortable and durable - highly recommended.
2 out of 5 Not great
Newitts Verified Purchase (27 Sep 2014)
I haven't got on well with these goggles; when underwater I see everything double, which makes me feel quite dizzy. The pressure around my eyes from the frames is quite headache-inducing as well. I wouldn't recommend them.
5 out of 5 Excellent Buy
Newitts Verified Purchase (17 Jul 2014)
I am a regular recreational swimmer, who will spend around an hour or so swimming per session. What I really like about these goggles is the surrounding seal. It is both water tight but very comfortable, compared to other models of Goggles I use I have found these to be the most comfortable to wear and am not left pressure marks when I take them off. Would thoroughly recommend them to your customers.
5 out of 5 Brilliant value
Newitts Verified Purchase (16 Jul 2014)
These goggles fit perfectly and don't leak at all. They have a nice wide-angle view and at this price they are absolutely unbeatable.
5 out of 5 Swimming goggles
Newitts Verified Purchase (14 Jul 2014)
very pleased with goggles. arrived very quickly, they fit well and are a nice colour, they are well worth the money
5 out of 5 Speedo Futura Biofuse swim goggles
Newitts Verified Purchase (10 Jul 2014)
Well, these goggles are indeed the business. I love to swim but it's so frustrating when I have to keep stopping and de misting. Now I can complete my swim without stopping it's great. I did purchase two pairs at the same time, but will certainly buy some more when I need to.
5 out of 5 Good goggles - bought a second pair
Newitts Verified Purchase (10 Jul 2014)
I've had a lot of issues with goggles in the past, both with water tightness and nose pain. But never with this model. I now bought my second pair, because I lost the first one
4 out of 5 Bio fuse goggles
Newitts Verified Purchase (19 Jun 2014)
Great goggles at a fantastic price. I use these regularly and find them comfortable and watertight. A bit fiddly to adjust. Would recommend.
5 out of 5 Well pleased
Newitts Verified Purchase (31 May 2014)
I am well pleased with my new goggles. No more leaks, good visibility, comfortable fit and simple adjustment at the push of a button. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend the product and the website. Delivery was prompt.

5 out of 5 Speedo Futura Biofuse Goggles
Newitts Verified Purchase (12 Apr 2014)
Great Value but most of all very comfortable, superb visibility and they do not leak. I highly recommend these goggles try a the black ones when abroad as they stop the glare from the sun.
2 out of 5 Not as good as I'd hoped
Newitts Verified Purchase (4 Feb 2014)
I was really hoping these would solve the problem of my goggles fogging up and the first time I used them they were great but by now, after just two weeks of use they're fogging up just as badly as the old ones I bought these to replace. And I still get panda eyes...
4 out of 5 Very satisfied
Newitts Verified Purchase (3 Dec 2013)
pros Very good field of view, well made, good fit, easy to adjust. No leaking , no fogging. I look good with them!
cons 4 out of 5 because my nose sometimes touches the nose bridge. There are no instructions on how to adjust the length of the strap.
5 out of 5 Speedo Goggles

I'm not about prescribing extreme dieting techniques as a long-term solution to losing fat. That being said, I understand there are times when losing 5, 10 or 20 pounds as fast as possible is in order.
Maybe you have a vacation, high school reunion or some other event you want to impress for and you need to quickly shed some unwanted body fat to guarantee you're looking your best.
If this describes you, I'm going to share with you a technique I've used at times like these to get incredible short-term results.
Before I get ahead of myself, I need to give you a couple of disclaimers:
1. This plan is not easy and will require a high level of discipline and dedication
2. I don't recommend following this plan for more than 2 or 3 months because it could lead to noticeable losses in muscle mass if followed for extended periods of time
If you're okay with these caveats we can keep going…
Still with me? Alright, let's dig in!
I told you this plan isn't easy and you're about to see why. You're going to be limiting your calories to what is likely a significant degree when compared to what your body is used to.
As such, you might feel a decent amount of hunger for the first few weeks as your body slowly adjusts to your new caloric allowance.
The hunger you'll experience won't kill you, and isn't a sign that anything is physically wrong, but I wanted to give you fair warning.
Add to this the fact that following any structured nutrition plan takes effort and you can see why this is not a plan for someone that isn't serious about getting fast results.
Alright, here it is…
You're going to fast in the morning and not eat your first meal until around 11am-12pm. This first meal should consist of about 6 ounces of meat, chicken or fish and a couple of normal-sized handfuls of peanuts, almonds or pecans.
Then, about 1-2 hours before your workout you'll eat a piece of fruit (apple, banana, pear, peach, plum, etc.) and 6 ounces of meat, chicken or fish. You can substitute the meat, chicken or fish with a scoop of whey protein mixed with water if you prefer.
Although, this won't fill your belly as well as food would, which could lead to an increase in hunger.
Immediately after you workout you'll follow the same nutritional guidelines as before your workout by eating a piece of fruit and 6 ounces of meat, chicken or fish.
Then, within an hour of going to bed you should eat 20 grams of protein with as few carbs as possible. This bedtime snack can be chicken, meat, fish, cheese, eggs or whey protein powder mixed with water.
If you're following this nutrition plan for quickly shedding body fat and have to train in the morning you'll want to train on an empty stomach and then eat a piece of fruit and 6 ounces of meat, chicken or fish as soon as possible after your workout.
Then, you'll eat 6 ounces of meat, chicken or fish and a couple of handfuls of peanuts, almonds or pecans 3-5 hours later. After another 3-5 hours you'll eat a piece of fruit and 6 ounces of meat, chicken or fish and then end your day with 20 grams of protein within an hour of going to bed as I describe above.
On days that you take a break from working out you'll eat 6 ounces of meat, chicken or fish and a piece of fruit for your first meal of the day.
Your next 2 meals should consist of 6 ounces of meat, chicken or fish and a couple handfuls of peanuts, almonds or pecans. Then you'll finish the day with a 4th meal containing 20 grams of protein within an hour of going to bed.
The most challenging aspect of following this rapid fat loss nutrition plan is dealing with your hunger. One strategy I use to help mitigate my hunger is to drink a cup of black coffee or tea in between meals.
The stimulating effect of caffeine in these drinks serves as a hunger suppressant that will help to make your hunger more bearable between meals throughout the day. Coffees and teas are also rich in antioxidants, so there are some health benefit reasons to integrate coffee and/or tea into your daily routine as well.
Another helpful tip is to eat a cheat meal every few days. This will give you a chance to put more substance in your stomach and can actually help to stymie feelings of hunger for a day or two afterward.
If you can avoid cheat meals altogether, that will obviously lead to the best results. But, having one or two a week will only slightly hinder your results, and can actually help keep you on track over the course of 8 weeks.
If you have a number of pounds of fat to lose, and not much time to do it in, this diet will induce the kind of fast fat loss you're looking for. While this diet will provide improvements by itself, for the best results you'll need to be sure that you're doing 20-30 minutes of cardio every day and mixing in some weight training 4 or 5 days a week as well.
Extreme diets like this aren't for the feint of heart. You'll need to make a commitment to doing what it takes to reach your short-term fat loss goals up front and remind yourself often of why you're doing what you're doing.
Having a vision of what you're working towards will motivate you when you're tempted to cheat on your diet or skip a workout and can mean the difference between dropping 20lbs of fat in 60 days or only dropping 5lbs of fat.
It won't be easy, but you can do it!
Be sure to email me or leave me a comment below to let me know about the results you get from following this rapid fat loss diet plan.
Take a before picture before starting, along with an after picture, so you can see the difference 60 days can make when you're committed to transforming your body.

DETROIT — At a time when his team looked lifeless, he returned its energy.
At a time when the offense looked clueless, he returned its control.
At a time when embarrassment hung in the air, he returned sanity to the afternoon.
Given all that, is four games enough time to pronounce Clifton Smith as the finest return man the Bucs have ever employed?
Based on early returns, this is what Smith does: He returns things. Punts, passion and possibilities. Kickoffs, order and hope. He catches a kick, he steps around trouble, and he runs toward possibilities. Give him a lane and he will return a team to life.
And as of today, by golly, Smith just might be your favorite new Buccaneer.
Once again the kid from nowhere has stopped the Bucs from heading in that direction. This time Smith had two electric plays, a 70-yard punt return for a touchdown and a 49-yard kickoff return. Together, those plays helped the Bucs return from their first-quarter ugliness and dispatch the winless Lions 38-20.
How long have the Bucs searched for such an amazing toy? How many returners have they sifted through until they found one this quick and this fearless and this dangerous?
The word "forever" comes to mind, doesn't it?
Four games and already the kid they call "Peanut" is a reason to stop going to the bathroom during punts and kickoffs. Four games and he has returned the Bucs' second kickoff and 10th punt for touchdowns. Four games and in two of them he has sparked his team to comeback victories over the Chiefs and Lions.
"The return game was almost laughed at here for years," Bucs coach Jon Gruden said. "We weren't able to take a kick back, and this guy comes out of nowhere and has taken a kickoff and a punt back."
With Smith the impact has not been just the plays he has made. It also has been his timing.
For instance, the darkest of moment for the Bucs on Sunday came with 11 seconds to go in the first quarter. Once again they were on the road, and once again they were far behind, and once again they looked worse than one of the dregs of the NFL. It was 17-0, Detroit-of-all-teams, and the Bucs looked like they were in trouble.
And Smith started the return trip. His 49-yard kickoff return after Detroit's third score gave the Bucs an initial spark, and seven plays later Tampa Bay was on the scoreboard. Then, in the third quarter, Smith took a punt and went 70 yards to score.
Like always, Smith started both plays with the simple task of reading his shoes. Really. Written on them, just above his toes, is a simple message: 1 chance.
"I only have one chance to make something of myself," Smith, 23, said. "I look at it every time I go out there. You could do something big, or you could be home tomorrow."
Perhaps that explains why Smith wasn't overly excited Sunday afternoon. He also had a fumble on a kickoff return (the Bucs recovered). And once again, a wound was reopened.
For Smith, ball security has his been his only flaw. He has fumbled in each of his four games this season, and for a man who makes his living returning kicks, that is the cardinal sin.
All last week, whenever he was at One Buc Place, Smith carried a ball, and all week his teammates tried to rip it from his hands. The rule was simple: Take the ball away from him and Smith was going to buy you a steak dinner. Only once did it happen — linebacker Adam Hayward managed it — but Smith got the ball back. No steak for Hayward.
On Saturday night, teammate Ronde Barber put Smith on the telephone with his brother Tiki, who had fumbling problems early in his career with the Giants. Smith came away with this message: "It is better to lose your arm than to lose the football."
For that reason, Smith wasn't prepared to call Sunday a success. The disappointment of fumbling again, he said, was bigger than the excitement of his returns.
"Fumbling the ball is killing me slowly," he said.
The rest of us, of course, would be dancing across the locker room. After all, Smith was an undrafted free agent, and if No. 2 draft choice Dexter Jackson hadn't fallen on his nose — literally, and often unassisted — then Smith might never have gotten his chance.
"I could easily be home on the couch or still on the practice squad," Smith said. "I'm proud of making it the hard way. I definitely think there is a message there."
He grinned, and his face lit up. You know, the way it does when he sees a punter in his way. "No way a punter is going to stop me," he says. "If I get to the punter, it's showtime."
Smith likes this stuff. There are NFL players who would retire before returning kicks, before staring at stadium lights while sprinters run 50 yards with the singular idea of ripping your head from your shoulders. But Smith returned 13 kicks for scores while in high school and five punts for touchdowns while at Fresno State. He's done this before.
Back then they called him Batman. That explains the tattoo on his left biceps. These days they call him Peanut. Why? Because he isn't as big as a cashew.
That, and because no one is laughing at the Bucs' return game anymore.
These days, every kick looks like Peanut's harvesting time.

Infinite Redirect Loop after moving blog
Help! I need this resolved ASAP as this is a production blog – any help would be appreciated!
My blog was set up at http://myaccount.host.com/blog, but it was actually pointed to by http://www.company.com/blog. In other words, my "WordPress Address (URL)" was set to the former, my "Site Address (URL)" to the latter.
I need to convert this to a multisite setup with domain mapping, but unfortunately this required me to move the physical location of my blog from http://myaccount.host.com/blog to http://myaccount.host.com/.
This was easy enough to do: I worked with my host to move the blog from the "blog" subdirectory to the root folder. Then I contacted my IT department and they pointed http://www.company.com/blog to http://myaccount.host.com instead of http://myaccount.host.com/blog.
In WordPress, I was able to change my "WordPress Address (URL)" to http://myaccount.host.com instead of http://myaccount.host.com/blog. So far, so good – I have access to the backoffice.
Unfortunately, the front end results in an infinite redirect loop. The ONLY way I can get it to stop is to change the "Site Address (URL)" to match the "WordPress Address (URL)", which is http://myaccount.host.com.
However, if I do this, when a customer visits http://www.company.com/blog, they are redirected to the ugly host address, http://myaccount.host.com." This also kills our SEO.
Ultimately, I need this to work EXACTLY as before, where a customer views our blog through http://www.company.com/blog, but the blog needs to be in the root directory of my hosting account instead of the /blog subdirectory.
I hope that was reasonably clear – please help!
PS – I haven't even starting setting up multisite yet – all these problems are on a simple installation.

Way too connected
Just thought this was funny. I'm in San Francisco today at Oracle corporate. Went downtown to visit a friend. I got downtown early and found a Starbucks, got online. Saw they were online as well and instant messaged them to let them know I was here early.
Turns out we were both in the same Starbucks sitting maybe 25 feet from eachother. Good thing the network was networking or we might have sat there for an hour without knowing the other was there ;)
Now off to dinner, then redeye back to the east coast for tomorrow. I'll be home for two days and then I'm off to Iceland and Prague for two weeks. Everyone who says "asktom never takes questions in my time zone" might have a chance over the next two weeks – I'll be on European time. Have two seminars to give so I might not take a lot of new questions, but when the queues are open, they'll be relative to GMT, not east coast time.

Westmoreland County Community College exceeds fund-raising goal for capital campaign
Westmoreland County Community College officials said on Wednesday they have exceeded their goal of raising $28.5 million toward building an education center in Latrobe, relocating business and industry programs, and renovating labs on its main campus.
President Daniel Obara said nearly $31.2 million has been raised since the capital campaign began on Jan. 1, 2012, from public funds, foundation grants and private donations. All trustees, foundation board members and cabinet-level employees — and many faculty and staff members — contributed, Obara said.
"I was really apprehensive when we announced we were going to undergo this capital campaign and raise $28.5 million," Obara said. "I'm thinking to myself, 'I never did this before,' and I really didn't know what the response was going to be to the community college. ... But I have to tell you that being part of this campaign has been the most gratifying aspect of my presidency."
Obara has announced he will retire in June. The projects funded by this campaign are viewed by many as his legacy to the college he's led since April 2009.
"This campaign is not measured just in financial results, but in the relationships we've established," said Gene Ciafre, a trustee and fundraising co-chairman. "I think the success of this campaign simply acknowledges that people now understand what we do, and what we do is important."
Some of the largest donations included a $2 million grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, a $500,000 grant from the Katherine Mabis McKenna Foundation for the Latrobe campus and a $300,000 gift from the Hillman Foundation for the Advanced Technology Center at the former Sony plant in East Huntingdon.
College officials said they expect to spend about $10 million on construction and equipment for the 30,000-square-foot Latrobe Center, formerly called the Laurel Education Center, at Depot and Jefferson streets.
About $12.5 million more will go toward renovating 73,500 square feet of the former Sony plant and buying equipment for the Advanced Technology Center. The center will house WCCC's workforce development programs, such as welding, electronics, metallurgy and mechatronics that squeeze into about 18,000 square feet on the main campus near Youngwood.
"For me ... it's all about economic development and about moving forward, and the community college is the engine that makes that happen," said Charles Anderson, chairman of the county board of commissioners. "Companies come into Westmoreland County and they're looking for people to do the job. The community college makes that happen."
The capital campaign also will fund $3.2 million in biology lab renovations and $1.8 million in upgrades to the nursing lab, both on the main campus. About $1 million will go toward a scholarship endowment for students.
"We're not done yet. We hope to continue this movement," said Ciafre. "We have many more scholarships to grant, many more buildings to build, so we have much more work to do."

As long as one doesn't have an excessive amount of horsepower, the RE-11's from Bridgestone are a perfect match for the car.. And you also cannot drive this kind of vehicle on ice, or snow. Exceptionally dangerous with ANY Manufacturer's tires.
*** I now have a C6-Corvette that's going to need tires soon.. You should convince your contacts at Michelin to MAKE those new Pilot Super Sports in 245/40ZR-18 & 285/35ZR19. Because right now they don't have any intentions of making them available in their latest series.. And there are many C6 Corvettes that could fill the demand in those sizes.

SANFORD, Fla. - A judge on Monday sentenced convicted murderer William Davis III to death after he repeatedly requested the death penalty at prior hearings.
Davis was found guilty in May of kidnapping, sexually assaulting and murdering 19-year-old Fabiana Malave at a car dealership in 2009. Davis, 33, met Malave at a Seminole County used car dealership where she worked. Officers say he abducted her, raped her, strangled her and then drove around with the teen's body in the trunk of his car.
Davis' numerous felony convictions contributed to his sentence, according to the judge.
Malave's family was very emotional, crying and yelling obscenities before leaving the courtroom after the judge sentenced Davis on Monday.
"I do feel pleased with the judgement because even though he's not gonna die anytime soon," said Malave's sister, Wendy Melez. "I'm OK with the fact that's he's going to live every single day knowing it's a countdown to his life."
Malave's brother was taken away in an ambulance after the sentencing. Family members say Malave's 31-year-old brother developed a heart condition after his sister's death.

WHERE the pheasant roosts at night,
Lonely, drowsy, out of sight,
Where the evening breezes sigh
Solitary, there stray I.
Close along the shaded stream,
Source of many a youthful dream,
Where branchy cedars dim the day
There I muse, and there I stray.
Yet, what can please amid this bower,
That charmed the eye for many an hour!
The budding leaf is lost to me,
And dead the bloom on every tree.
The winding stream, that glides along,
The lark, that tunes her early song,
The mountain's brow, the sloping vale,
The murmuring of the western gale,
Have lost their charms!--the blooms are gone!
Trees put a darker aspect on,
The stream disgusts that wanders by,
And every zephyr brings a sigh.
Great guardian of our feeble kind!--
Restoring Nature, lend thine aid!
And o'er the features of the mind
Renew those colors, that must fade,
When vernal suns forbear to roll,
And endless winter chills the soul.
