So you've had enough! You're over 50, and you're fed up with violent, too intense, crude, blockbuster or youth-driven films that ignore your craving for uplifting, inspirational, real life or romantic movies that move you or fill your heart with love and joy, and whose protagonists are in your age group.
Now's your chance to tell Hollywood how you feel!
New York Times bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker James Twyman is launching a movement under the banner of The Senior Cinema Circle to gather 1 million or more signatures to place on the desk of Hollywood's decision makers demanding movies that appeal to the Baby Boomer and esteemed elder set.
"Seniors are usually ignored by the Hollywood system," says James Twyman, the president of The Senior Cinema Circle and producer/co-writer of the upcoming film "Redwood Highway."
"An occasional film focused on older adults comes out of the UK now and then, like 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' or 'Quartet,' and even France with last year's 'Amour.' But the American film industry hasn't caught up, and doesn't seem to want to."
Hollywood is overlooking a source of financial gold and customer loyalty.
"Studies have shown that seniors are far more likely to see films in theaters than younger people," notes Twyman. "They aren't as adapted to movie streaming and all the new media options, so they just get in their cars and drive to the local cinema when a movie comes out they can relate to. Seniors have more time on their hands and they are a market that is simply waiting to explode. Give them what they want and they will come!"
Consider these facts:
1. The senior age group is now, for the first time, the largest in terms of size and percent of the population in the United States.
2. There are an estimated 76 Million "Baby Boomers" in the United States, and approximately 43 million over 65.
3. Last year 7.9 million adults 50-plus saw a film once a month or more, up from 6.2 million in 2011.
4. Boomers and seniors have four times more disposable income than their younger counterparts.
5. They support films that resonate with them — "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" did $46 million business in the United States and $90 million globally.
6. Consider the box office success of "Hope Springs," "The Bucket List" and "The Notebook" in recent years, films that appealed to audiences in multiple demographics.
"Someone has to see the opportunity here," Twyman said. "Give people better films and they will come more often. Every person I know over the age of 50 is complaining that there is so little at the box office that is worthwhile spending money on."
Twyman's Senior Cinema Circle is taking the lead, creating an online survey and petition aimed at demonstrating to Hollywood that there is a market to serve, and demanding that film industry decision makers no longer overlook this willing and growing demographic.
The information gained from the "One Million Senior Voices" campaign will be shared with movie studios, producers and film distributers to convince them that it's time to stop ignoring Baby Boomers.
"The movie industry must hear directly from seniors who want to see more films being made that suit their interests," observes Twyman. "With the focus on mega-films based on comic book characters and action movies that cost $100 million or more, there doesn't seem to be much room for story-driven movies based on mature themes.
"If we can gather at least one million names, it will show them that seniors are committed to paying to see films they believe in."
To fill out the survey and join the online petition, go to www.seniorcinema.com
James Twyman is the New York Times bestselling author of 15 books, as well as the producer/director/writer of five films, including the award-winning feature film "Indigo." His newest film, "Redwood Highway," will debut on Grandparents Day, Sunday, Sept. 8, and will be previewed earlier that week in more than 6,000 senior residences around the nation. He currently travels around the world promoting films for what he believes to be the most important, and underserved film audience in history — elders.
The Senior Cinema Circle is the only organization completely dedicated to producing inspiring films for seniors and Baby Boomers, and is leading an effort to revolutionize the film industry. Its mission is to create more movies that appeal to this vital demographic, to drive consumer demand for such films and to mobilize Hollywood to bring forth box office fare that fills the current void.

National Child Passenger Safety Week
Monday (Sept .19) marked the beginning of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) annual Child Passenger Safety Week, a campaign aimed at raising awareness about child passenger safety issues. The weeklong campaign (September 18-24) ends with "National Seat Check Saturday," a day where parents and caregivers are encouraged to get their child seats checked by safety experts for free.
"Child Passenger Safety Week is an annual campaign to bring public attention to the importance of properly securing all children in appropriate car seats, booster seats or seat belts- every trip, every time," NHTSA.
Child Seat Safety Statistics
- Every day in 2009, an average of two children age 12 and younger were killed and an average of 340 were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes as occupants of passenger vehicles.
- For children ages 1 through 12, car accidents are the leading cause of death.
- Research shows car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for children younger than 1 and by 54% for children 1 to 4 years old.
- An estimated 8,959 lives were saved by child restraints from 1975 to 2008.
Child Seat Requirements
- 0-12 months- Children under the age of 1 should always ride in a rear-facing car seat.
- 1-3 years– Keep your 1 to 3 year old children in rear-facing car seats for as long as possible. They should remain in a rear-facing car seat until they reach the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer. Once outgrown the rear-facing car seat, they are ready to travel in a forward-facing car seat with a harness.
- 4-7 years- Keep your 4 to 7 year old children in forward-facing car seats with a harness until they reach the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer. Once they outgrow their forward-facing car seat with a harness, it's time to travel in a booster seat but still in the back seat.
- 8-12 years- Keep your 8 to 12 year old children in booster seats until they are big enough to fit in a seat belt properly.
Car Seat Safety Inspections
Car seats are your child's number one defense in an auto accident. Unfortunately, research shows that three out of four car seats are used improperly. Child Passenger Safety Week ends with National Seat Check Saturday- a day when parents and caregivers are encouraged to get their child seats checked by safety experts for free. The Child Car Seat Safety Inspection Locator allows you to search for certified technicians near you, who will inspect your child car seat and show you how to correctly install and use it.

Breast Feeding
my daughter is 8 months and have six teeht aint it t ime tyo stop breast feeding
Breastfeeding is a wonderful experience for both you and your child. Just because she has teeth is no reason to stop breastfeeding. You should consider weaning your daughter when both you and your daughter are ready to stop.
Infants have a need for closeness and sucking during the first year of life and breastfeeding helps to meet these needs. Your daughter will begin to give clues that she is ready to stop nursing. You will notice that she will nurse often and for a shorter time.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all infants be given breastmilk during the first year of life, so if you are able to continue breastfeeding it would be of great benefit to your daughter.

RACHEL Brown will know whether her Olympic dream is going to be realised in less than a fortnight – but for the moment she is focusing fully on England's Euro goal.
The Burnley-born goalkeeper is hoping to be between the posts for tomorrow's crucial Euro 2013 qualifier against group leaders Holland at Salford as she looks to complete a memorable double over the next couple of weeks.
England's women are over half way through their European Qualifying Campaign and, trailing to the Dutch by five points with a game in hand, know a win tomorrow is crucial to keep their hopes alive.
Only the winners automatically qualify for Sweden 2013 with the runners-up taking part in play-offs in October – leaving Brown in no doubt about the importance of the clash.
The 31-year-old was included on the provisional list for selection for Team GB in the Olympics and, with the final squad due to be announced on June 26, is dreaming of playing a big role in London 2012.
But, for the moment at least, she is putting her summer plans on the back burner as she looks to reach her sixth major finals.
She said: "At the moment, none of us are particularly thinking about the Olympics because we have a job to do with England against Holland first.
"The Olympic squad is named on June 26 and of course we are all hoping we get named in that but that can wait, because the games we have coming up with England are huge.
"Once we do our job here, and hopefully get the win we need, then the nerves and anticipation can set in about the Olympics.
"It is something we all want to be involved in, of course we do, but we also want to make sure England qualify for Euro 2013."
England reached the quarter-finals of the Women's World Cup in 2011 in Germany and the Final of the last European championships in 2009.
They are currently ranked 9th in the world by FIFA and Brown knows booking their place in the Sweden finals next summer is vital.
She said: "I have been involved when we have not made major championships. It has only been the last eight to 10 years when we have started to regularly make the big tournaments.
"Not qualifying for Euro 2013 would be a massive backward step. It is important for the continued development of the women's game in this country that we make the tournament.
"Hopefully we can get a big crowd behind us at Salford to help us make that next step we are all looking for."
Brown added: "The difference is tomorrow Holland know they just need to avoid a defeat whereas we have to go for the win.
"Everything has been positive. We beat them narrowly in the European Championships semi finals four years ago.
"It is absolutely massive playing for your country. Most England players would tell you that and if you got to the stage when you didn't feel like that, maybe it is time to call it a day.
"This could be the last major championships for a lot of us."
Tickets are priced £5 for adults and £2.50 for concessions. To purchase, simply call the Salford City Stadium Ticket Hotline on 0844 888 0200.

Wells better, but Cards fall to Padres
Wells better, but Cards fall to Padres
Or maybe it was just all Jake Peavy, setting the timer to roughly the mid-90s and channeling an at-his-best John Smoltz. Whatever the year on the calendar was, the unfortunate fact is that the number on the scoreboard for the Cards was a too-familiar one: zero.
A St. Louis team starved for any kind of spark couldn't build on its offensive breakout from two days earlier, going quietly in a 7-0 loss to San Diego at PETCO Park. Peavy carved up the Cards just like he's done to quite a few teams lately, while Kip Wells (1-7) lost his sixth straight start.
"The guy was filthy out there," said Albert Pujols, who went 0-for-4 on the night, striking out twice against Peavy. "He was throwing some good pitches. He didn't give you any chance."
Russell Branyan hit a pair of home runs for the home team, one that gave the Padres a 2-0 lead and one that turned the game into a 7-0 rout. St. Louis lost by five or more runs for the 10th time in 2007. The Cardinals have been shut out five times this season and have been held to two or fewer runs 17 times in 33 games.
In fairness to the Cardinals, when Peavy is going well, it's nearly impossible for even a hot offense to get anything going. But St. Louis has been slowed by stars and lesser lights alike this year. The Cards are tied for last in the National League in runs scored with 105, alone in last with a .330 team slugging percentage and 15th with a .307 on-base percentage.
As for Wells, it certainly wasn't pretty -- but compared to his recent struggles, Friday night did offer a couple of glimmers of hope. He struck out eight in six innings, his highest total as a Cardinal. And after three straight games of seven earned runs, four tallies in six innings counts as improvement. But Wells again seemed to splice innings where he was in complete control with innings where the game handled him instead.
"He showed you what he's capable of doing, but he's got to improve his consistency," said manager Tony La Russa. "[Pitching coach Dave Duncan] is going to work on it, that's for sure. He's just got to improve. Not good enough now."
All 10 San Diego baserunners against Wells came in a three-inning span. In the first, fifth and sixth innings, Wells retired the side in order with a combined four Ks and five ground-ball outs. In the second, third and fourth, he was touched for seven hits, three for extra bases, and three walks.
"My pitches are not straight," Wells said. "And so for me, I can't be too fine with throwing pitches that are on the corner. But on the same token, you don't want to make middle-of-the-plate pitches."
Wells hasn't pitched with a lead since April 19 in San Francisco, a game the Cards went on to lose. That certainly hasn't helped him pitch well.
"Ultimately, I've got plenty of starts to make where I can even the record and even the score," he said. "I need to avoid having this 'poor-me' attitude where it seems nothing goes my way, because those things tend to come to fruition. When you feel it's going to go wrong, it will go wrong. So you can't go out there with an attitude of 'When is it going to happen? How am I going to lose this game?'"
After he breezed through the first with a pair of strikeouts, Wells allowed a leadoff single to Adrian Gonzalez in the second. After a strikeout, he allowed Branyan's first home run, a shot to left field on a hanging breaking ball. He walked three batters before the inning was out, but escaped without further damage. A solo homer in the third made it 3-0, and Mike Cameron's RBI double stretched the lead to four.
"Once they got that four runs, I'm not sure," La Russa said. "Then you're kind of caught in a box where you've got to work the pitcher and not make too quick an out, instead of just be aggressive and make something happen. And that's a tough way to play against a guy as tough as Peavy."

Baby's introduction to food may include some arsenic, too
Posted May 3, 2016
Rice cereal is often the first "solid" food a baby receives at age 4 to 6 months. But a new study published in JAMA Pediatrics suggests that arsenic levels in the popular baby cereal may suggest caution.
According to NPR, "Multiple studies have found that rice-based foods contain traces of arsenic, and sometimes levels are surprisingly high."
"The highest arsenic concentrations were among those who consumed infant rice cereal," Dartmouth epidemiologist and researcher Margaret Karagas told NPR. "Among those (babies) who ate rice snacks, levels were about double (that of) non-rice eaters."
In an email to Reuters Health, Karagas wrote that, "Arsenic is a known carcinogen that can influence risk of cardiovascular, immune and other diseases. There's a growing body of evidence that even relatively low levels of exposure may have adverse health impacts on young children including on growth, immunity and neurodevelopment."
As Reuters explained, "The researchers studied 759 infants born to mothers age 18 to 45. Parents reported their infant's intake of rice products like rice cakes or puffs or dried breakfast cereals containing rice, or brands of cereal bars sweetened with brown rice syrup, in interviews when the baby was 4, 8 and 12 months of age. The researchers also collected infant urine samples to test for arsenic levels."
CNN reported that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has taken action to limit the accepted levels of arsenic in some foods and beverages, including water to apple juice. "In April, the FDA proposed a limit of 100 parts per billion of inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal," according to the article, which said the agency is still accepting public comments on the proposal.
CNN's Sandee LaMotte asked a pediatrician and author for suggestions on what parents can do to limit the levels of arsenic their babies ingest. Tanya Altmann, who wrote "What to Feed Your Baby: A Pediatrician's Guide to the 11 Essential Foods to Guarantee Veggie-Loving, No-Fuss, Healthy-Eating Kids," suggests that parents eschew white rice cereal "as there is little nutritional benefit and it simply primes young palates for a lifetime of eating white carbs, not to mention the arsenic issue, which this study confirms."
Instead, Altmann told LaMotte that parents should provide "real, single-ingredient foods as much as possible for both meals and snacks." Her proffered list of suggestions includes "berries, steamed or cooked veggies, peanut puffs, Greek yogurt, string cheese, a thin layer of nut butter on whole-grain bread, hard-boiled or scrambled egg, whole-grain O-shaped cereal and pieces of lean chicken (or whatever is left over from lunch or dinner)," the article said.
Those recommendations are in line with advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which said to introduce babies to solid food around 6 months, offering a "wide variety of healthy foods" and a "variety of textures." It said "a new eater only needs 1-2 tablespoons of each food and will gradually increase to 3-4 tablespoons as she gets older. By getting your baby used to lots of different foods, you'll help him build a healthy diet for life."
The national pediatric group recommends oats, barley, quinoa and wheat, as well as a variety of other foods.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States on Wednesday called for a full investigation of twin bombings in Nigeria, denouncing the latest violence blamed on Boko Haram militants, which left at least 42 dead.
Washington "deplores" the attacks in the city of Kaduna targeting a prominent cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, and former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari.
State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said the United States wants to "extend our sympathies to the loved ones" of those killed.
"We call on Nigerian authorities to fully investigate these attacks, and we urge all Nigerians to avoid reprisals and continue to practice the interfaith cooperation that violent extremists seek to undermine," Harf added.
Nigerian police said the first attack was carried out by a suicide bomber on the convoy of Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, a cleric who has fiercely criticized Boko Haram's deadly five-year uprising.
The second attack some two hours later that killed 17 people targeted Muhammadu Buhari, a prominent opposition leaders who formerly ruled the country as a military dictator from 1983 to 1985.
Both men escaped unhurt.

"GOONIES" star JEFF COHEN's acting dreams were shattered when he slimmed down, but he's gone on to become a heavyweight entertainment attorney!
The once-portly child star shot to fame at age 10 playing "Chunk," the junk-food loving teller of tall tales in the 1985 cult classic, but now he does his talking in court.
In an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW, the 38-year-old told The ENQUIRER: "Becoming a comic actor was my dream, but then you hit puberty and start to change. And being called 'Chunk' all the time was a pretty good incentive to get fit – which I did! I lost weight and started playing football."
After he slimmed down, Jeff ran into the film's executive producer Steven Spielberg, who took one look at his new physique and joked: "You used to be Chunk, now you're a hunk!"
No longer able to audition for the "fat kid" parts he'd become famous for, Jeff pursued another career. He graduated from prestigious UCLA Law School, founded his own law firm and has become one of TinselTown's top entertainment attorneys.
"I wanted to stay in showbiz, and being an attorney is my way of helping other artists create art," he explained.
The kid who made the phrase "Truffle Shuffle" famous was named one of "Hollywood's Top 35 Executives Under 35" by The Hollywood Reporter a few years ago, and he says his clients definitely get a kick out of saying they're represented by Chunk!
"I was very fortunate to have been in 'The Goonies' – and once a Goonie, you're a Goonie FOR life," added Jeff, who returned to the movie's shooting location in Oregon in 2005 to celebrate its 20th anniversary. "But being an entertainment lawyer is pretty great, as well…and I don't have to audition anymore."
Another thing that's great? Being in The ENQUIRER!
"My mom reads The ENQUIRER religiously," he said, "and she'll be over the moon that I'm in it!"


text: In 2009, the Centers of Light began hosting Inner Peace Festivals as a way to promote peace in the community. From humble beginnings in parks and recreation centers, Inner Peace Festivals are growing to become a major event to raise awareness, guide people in practicing peace, and educating communities about the importance of peace and how it is possible. Various cities have different activities during the Inner Peace Festivals. Some hold meditations and drum circles, and others hold peace walks and live music.

Is there a monthly plan or is it pay all on same day?
Can You Pay Monthly for Ear Gauge Repair
Doctor Answers 3
Payment for earlobe repair
As with all cosmetic surgery, payment is due on or prior to the date of surgery. However, most plastic surgeons accept credit cards and you may be eligible for Care Credit, a patient financing program, as an alternative.
Ear Gauge Closure
The repair of the stretched ear lobe is a great procedure that can restore the ear lobe to a "normal" appearance". Care must be taken during this procedure to avoid reducing the size of the air and/or creating a notch/ depressed appearance in the area of the rim of the ear lobe. It is usually done under local anesthesia with very high patient satisfaction rates.
in regards to the finances, once you have found a surgeon you feel comfortable with, options will be discussed.
I hope this helps.

It's too soon to gauge the longer-term impact the disaster will have on U.S. agricultural exports to Japan, but industry representatives indicated they expect limited effect to beef and pork shipments. Japan is also the third-largest export market for U.S. beef and a top buyer of dairy products.
Still, the prospect supply disruptions or an economic slump that weakens Japan's meat consumption triggered selling in the futures market and prompted meatpackers to pull bids in the cash market, traders at CME Group in Chicago said.
"The concern is how much damage to the ports they had" in Japan, Jim Burns, a CME hog trader, said March 14. "And infrastructure-wise, even when the ports are open, how much product can they get into the country… and how can they distribute it?"
The tsunami, triggered by a massive March 11 earthquake off the northeast coast of Japan, destroyed entire towns and is believed to have killed at least 10,000, according to news reports.
Beef and pork imports to Japan may have only limited disruptions because most shipments are delivered to ports from Tokyo southward, livestock analysts Steve Meyer and Len Steiner said in a March 14 report. The earthquake's epicenter was about 250 miles northeast of Tokyo.
While many Japanese ports were closed at the end of last week, most were not heavily damaged and were expected to be open again this week, Meyer and Steiner wrote.
"Refrigeration is indeed an issue, but reports indicate that the power grid is operational in many areas and power will be diverted and re-routed to areas in need," Meyer and Steiner said.
Japan bought $1.65 billion worth of American pork and related variety meats in 2010, 67 percent more than the next-largest buyer, Mexico, according to U.S. Meat Export Federation data. In terms of volume, shipments to Japan last year, at 1.28 billion pounds, accounted for 5.7 percent of U.S. pork production.
Jim Herlihy, a spokesman for the U.S. Meat Export Federation in Denver, said the group didn't have enough information yet to make any broad assumptions about any impact for beef and pork shipments to Japan.
"While this is an unspeakable tragedy for communities along the northeast coast of Japan, it's important to keep in mind that the major population centers have been impacted to a much lesser degree," Herlihy said in a March 14 e-mail.
"Right now we have little reason to think consumer demand in Japan will suffer significantly or that trade will be dramatically impacted," he said. "How Japan's national economy will weather this disaster and how quickly it will recover is obviously a more complex question, but we're awaiting more factual information before drawing any conclusions."
Shares of Smithfield Foods, Inc., Tyson Foods, Inc., and other food processors fell today as the Japan disaster triggered a broad stock market slide. Springdale, Ark.-based Tyson is the largest U.S. meat processor and is also a large exporter.
"Like others, we're waiting for more information" about the disaster, Tyson spokesman Gary Mickelson said in an e-mail. "However, at this point we're not currently aware of any disruption to our exports to Japan." Eight employees in Tyson's Tokyo office were not hurt, Mickelson added.
CME cattle futures also declined today amid concern over Japanese demand. Live cattle futures for April delivery fell 0.625 cent to $1.1665 a pound, down from a record $1.18425 March 10.
In 2010, U.S. beef imports to Japan totaled $639.5 million, up 36 percent from 2009 and the third-highest behind Mexico and Canada, according to the Meat Export Federation
Analysts Meyer and Steiner said longer-term, Japan's rebuilding efforts likely will offset any short-term demand slowdown for U.S. products.
"We have to remember that whatever is lost - in terms of food products as well as buildings, roads, cars, planes, etc. - will be replaced and the process of replacement will boost the Japanese economy in the months to come," the analysts wrote. "The short-term impact may indeed be negative, but stocks of food and other items will eventually be replenished, and that process will be a positive for U.S. exports."
For the near-term, however, hog prices probably will weaken further, CME trader Burns said.
"I don't know how low we can go," Burns said. "We still have to wait to see how it plays out."

I have patched the locking code to use POSIX semaphores (if appropriate define is turned on) and it appears to work. Passed 100% of regression tests in parallel mode. It turned out to be impractical to use existing locking abstraction with POSIX semaphores due to the way they are allocated. So I had to change prototype for IpcSemaphoreCreate() which caused little changes in proc.c and spin.c. Other than that all changes related to this are localized to ipc.c and ipc.h. The code should be usable for number of other platforms, like QNX4, Linux, Solaris and anything else with support of POSIX semaphores and mmap(). It probably will provide some performance benefits (as I told before, POSIX semaphores appear to be a LOT faster on Linux than SysV ones). The patch is made against 72b2 tarball (not CVS). Do you want me to just post diffs or what do I do to get it merged? And where do I post it, PORTS or PATCHES (as it might be interesting for many platforms)? - igor Tom Lane wrote: > > > Do you really need semaphores at all?

ANSAN, South Korea - Students who survived the South Korean ferry disaster testified Monday they were repeatedly ordered by loudspeaker to stay in the sinking ship but eventually helped each other flee after their cabins were flooded too much.
The six girls testified Monday at a court session for 15 crew members responsible for the ship's navigation who face charges of negligence and failing to perform their duties to rescue passengers, with four of them facing homicide charges. The students from Danwon High School near Seoul revealed how chaotic the scene on the ferry was, recalling they wore life jackets and were helped by friends to float out and leave flooded rooms. They saw some schoolmates swept away by the waters.
Five of the six students spoke at the courtroom while the rest one gave her testimonies by video at another room. The court asked the media to not identify the teenagers to protect their privacy.
"We continued to wait but only came outside because the water filled the room so much," one student said. She said she heard a message blared from the ferry's loudspeaker that said "'Danwon High school students. Do not move!"
She also recalled how severely the ship listed, saying "The wall became the floor." Another student said "The kids all slid down to the window side . and luggage fell down."
The teenagers said they wore life jackets at the request of a broadcast announcement or at the recommendation of friends. They said they struggled to get out of the cabins due to tumbled furniture but also stepped on them to escape the rooms.
"When I was floating, the room's door was above my head. I came out of the cabin as a friend of mine outside grabbed my hands while another friend took my hip and lifted me up," one student said. "After we got out of the room, we lined up at a corridor and we told each another not to cry."
The April 16 sinking left more than 300 people dead or missing, most of them Danwon students who were travelling to the southern island of Jeju for a school trip. A total of 325 Danwon students were aboard the ship but only 75 survived, according to local officials.
The sinking, one of the deadliest disasters in South Korea in decades, has caused an outpouring of national grief and renewed scrutiny about public safety.
Survivors said they heard no evacuation orders and prosecutors argued a timely evacuation order could have saved more lives. Prosecutors say the 15 crew members abandoned the ship even though they knew passengers would be trapped and killed when the ferry sank. The defense has denied any collusion, saying the crew members were confused, injured and panicked.

2007 Compass shuddering!
My Compass has been shuddering when I'm idle or when I accelerate. Have had this issue happen more often in the past few weeks. A mechanic who happens to be a customer in our store suggested a changing of the transmission fluid. Would this sound like it would solve the problem?
Check transmission fluid, but it sounds more like a broken motor mount to me.
Do you have any issues accelerating? I recently had a bad ignition coil on my Liberty and it shook the heck out of my Liberty. Then on acceleration the chugging was terrible.
It all started out as a terrible shudder at idle and acceleration.
Could it be the fuel filter needs changing? Recently did this to resolve a shuddering issue on our Patriot CRD (07 model) that caused jerking at low and high speed.
Only really on the export diesels.
Did you resolve the issue? Were you also having problems with engine shuddering on deceleration? I've checked plugs, leaks, treated the gas, replaced air filters, and I still have hesitation on acceleration and deceleration when the car's cold. When it warms up, however, it goes away.
Thanks for sharing your solution!

Prior Notice Information Sheets: Shipments of Food that Appear to be for Commercial Purposes
See all current information on Prior Notice.
December 2004
The following materials may be used by officials of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) when shipments of food appear to be intended for commercial purposes and arriving as baggage accompanying a traveler, by international mail, or by another method of shipping and prior notice has not been submitted as required.
These information sheets may be attached to any shipment that FDA and/or CBP believes is subject to prior notice and doesn't have it. The intent of these information sheets is to educate individuals to the fact that FDA and CBP will enforce the requirement for prior notice on future shipments of food for commercial purposes notwithstanding the method of shipping.
For further information see the Compliance Policy Guide: Prior Notice of Imported Food Under the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, issued December 2003 and revised, June, August, and November 2004. The CPG states in Section III, B, 1 Education/Communication, that FDA, to the extent possible, will provide an information sheet on prior notice when:
- An article of food that is carried by or otherwise accompanying an individual is not for personal use and has inadequate prior notice or the individual cannot provide FDA or CBP with a copy of the prior notice (PN) confirmation,
- An article of food arrives by international mail with inadequate prior notice or the PN confirmation number is not affixed, and
- An article of food is imported or offered for import for non-commercial purposes with a non-commercial shipper
Sample Information Sheets:
- Information about International Mail shipments of food subject to prior notice requirements
- Information about Commercial Shipments of food subject to prior notice requirements with Non-Commercial Shippers
- Information for International Travelers who are carrying or otherwise accompanied by an article of food subject to prior notice provisions

NEW ORLEANS — A bad break unwittingly provided a helping hand to a broken down New Orleans Saints running game Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.
With Darren Sproles on the sideline nursing a broken left hand, fresh-legged running back Chris Ivory saw his first action of the season and joined running mates Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram to pump some life into a dormant phase of the Saints offense.
Ivory (48), Ingram (44) and Thomas (44) combined for 136 yards rushing, sparking the Saints to a crucial 28-13 victory against the slumping Eagles before a sellout crowd of 73,099 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Throw in a short run from fifth-string running back Travaris Cadet, and the Saints amassed 140 yards rushing for their second-most productive game on the ground this season, trailing only the 162-yard output in a Game 2 road loss against the Carolina Panthers.
The Saints (3-5) entered Monday night's game with the NFL's 32nd-ranked rushing offense, averaging 72.6 yards through the first seven games. Though no individual running back eclipsed the 50-yard mark, the group accounted for nearly double the team's previous average.
And it all started with Ivory, the subject of trade rumors right up to last Thursday's trade deadline. He rushed for a team-high 48 yards on 10 carries, including a nifty 22-yard scoring run that boosted the Saints' lead to 14-3 with 8:33 remaining in the first half.
"I waited eight weeks for this,'' Ivory said. "I cherish it, and I've just got to move on from tonight. I had a lot of energy tonight for obvious reasons, but playing on Monday Night Football gives you a lot of energy.
"It felt good to be able to contribute tonight and not just standing on the sideline watching. I just wanted to make something happen when I got an opportunity, and I got that opportunity tonight.''
Ivory had been conspicuously absent through the first seven games, dressing for five but never playing, which only served to fuel trade speculation.
"I talked with people in our organization, but they informed me they didn't know anything about a trade,'' said Ivory, who will become a restricted free agent at the end of the season. "But it really didn't matter to me, because at the end of the day, I knew (a trade) could have opened up another door for me. All I could do was stay patient and keep optimistic
"But I'm glad I'm still a Saint, and I'll keep working hard. Hopefully, I don't vanish again. That would be disappointing.''
Whether Ivory vanishes again and how many touches he ultimately gets in the coming weeks probably depends on the status of Sproles, whose injury would typically sideline a player between four-to-six weeks.
Regardless, Saints interim coach Joe Vitt and players seemed happy to have some semblance of a running game, if only for one night.
"We got a lot of work to do but tonight was encouraging,'' Vitt said.
"When we run the ball like we did tonight, it makes us a more balanced offense,'' Saints receiver Marques Colston said. "Any time you can have that balance, it makes the play-action a lot more viable. It also makes the play-caller's job a lot easier.''
It also takes pressure off Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who stands to benefit from a balanced running game.
"We got a great stable of running backs,'' Brees said. "When they were given the opportunity tonight, they made the most of it. They know their opportunities will come, they just don't know when.
"But they know that on any given night, we will feed the hot hand. So they never know but they know to be ready.''

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Westborough, MA, United States, 2009/10/23 - Despite the worldwide recession, ecommerce continues to build sales momentum thanks to merchant initiatives, growth in the mobility sector and more sophisticated back-end systems, according to a new report from FFP Global.
Despite the worldwide recession, ecommerce continues to build sales momentum thanks to merchant initiatives, growth in the mobility sector and more sophisticated back-end systems, according to a new report from FFP Global, entitled 10 Ecommerce Trends for 2010. The report says that online shopping is moving from a transaction mentality to one that also embodies discovery, entertainment and social bonding experiences.
Five of the report's key ecommerce trends for 2010 include:
A Smarter Mobility:
Smartphone growth with its wider screens and compelling applications will continue to accelerate in 2010. Just as ecommerce sites have contributed to sales in physical stores, we will see more aggressive pushes by mobile applications to drive ecommerce sales. One emerging way will be through Augmented Reality (AR), where information is overlaid on images or video.
Fulfillment Rules:
More retailers will consider regional fulfillment centers because of the volatility of fuel costs and marketplace demand for accelerated delivery times. To minimize inventory, drop shipping from manufacturers will gain traction. Reverse logistics will also be a point of emphasis as recapturing the value of goods not only fits into heightened environmental concerns, but for businesses represents an opportunity to reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction and increase marketing opportunities by offering refurbished products.
Customer Service is Everywhere:
As consumers utilize an increasing number of communication channels - from texting to responding to YouTube videos, their expectations to access information, express themselves, and receive feedback in an immediate time frame, poses a complex challenge that e-retailers are beginning to take very seriously. As a result, Call Centers are being replaced with Customer Experience Centers that deliver consistent superior touchpoints with consumers over a wide spectrum of communication channels.
Being Relevant is Virally Important:
Whether they like it or not, e-retailers are expected and valued as more than suppliers of goods and services. Accordingly, they must proactively take on personalities that their market segments feel comfortable with. This relevancy requires e-retailers actively listen, converse and engage in a variety of areas such as online destinations and social responsibility forums,
Business Intelligence Meets Business Process:
While companies retain a wealth of data, they often lack the capture tools, analytical processes and personnel bandwidth to turn this information into actionable activities. In 2010, there will be a greater commitment to unleash the intelligence residing in data banks to create sophisticated marketing and sales business processes that provide competitive advantages.
Elise Chow, President and Chief Executive Officer of FFP Global in commenting on the report said: "Traditional analysis has suggested that the growth of ecommerce represents a powerful shift to the consumer, because comparative information is readily available at their disposal. However, FFP Global believes that e-retailers are being infused with considerable clout as well through extensive data capture capabilities, influential interactive mediums such as Facebook and Twitter along with the availability of robust outsourced back-end services."

If you ask people to come up with one food that is absolutely Southern, they will probably mention grits. I have always said you have to be born below the Mason-Dixon line to truly understand the dish.
• 6 cups cooked grits (see below)
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 pound butter
• 2 cups grated mozzarella
• 2 teaspoons roasted garlic
• 2 tablespoons rosemary
• 2 teaspoon thyme
• salt to taste (start with 1 teaspoon and adjust)
• optional: 4 eggs and 3/4 cup of cream
Follow the directions on a box of Quaker or Jim Dandy Quick Grits to make six cups of cooked grits. Do not make them too thin.
In small sauce pan melt butter and cream cheese, and add cream and garlic.
In a mixing bowl add grits. While it's still warm, add the butter and cream cheese mixture, mozzarella cheese, herbs and salt. Mix well.
Option: if you want this dish more "soufflélike," beat eggs and cream until pale yellow and fold into mixture. Increase baking time by 40 minutes.
Spray baking dish with spray oil and then pour grits into baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes (or 60 minutes if you added eggs and cream).

The deeper I think
The holier I be
Life is a game
Which we all wish to flee
Cogency is what everyone wants
Laconicity respected by none
For peace we say we can't
Love is now, all for fun
We fell sad for any kind of cide
But it matters for no one
Then why are we petrified
When care for us is done by none
Jealousy, hatred is what mind mounts
Happiness, love, peace, now no one counts
We are angry, burning now
Few want to make things perfect
But they don't know how
Sleepless nights, somniferous days
They live
Love, love, love is all they
Try to give
The day will come
When we all will die
Try to evolve love
Otherwise a day before
We will cry
Some days come and some pass
The memory get stuck to some
Which always lasts
I remember those days
So what if they were sad
I smile when I think
About the days which were bad
Painful were some,
Neuralgic few
But when I sit alone
It gives me a nostalgic view
Sometimes I stop midway
Don't feel to think
But it's always too late
And I fall somewhere in a blink.
I struggle hard to come out
But cannot see any gate
Cry, shout all I try
But there's no escape from the fate.
But days pass too
And thought dries
All I hear now is
No more cries.
I remember those days
Yes, they were happy
Still thinking of those memories
Pain and sadness ensembles in my gallery
Opened eyes but nothing seen
Blindness that covers me within
Droplet of water that flows down
Have some painful memories which it surrounds
The mistake was made
Long time back
Why do I regret now?
Sea of guilt has reached my neck
I feel low
I feel low
I feel low
Yes, the mistake was mine
I took that blow
But now things appears to be fine
Then why do I feel so low
Things were different then
Indifferent now
I was sad then
Not so much happy now
The path of life has been narrow
Which always had some glibness
It gave me lots of sorrow
With a life, spiritless
With these situations, now I cope
But things will alter soon
I keep inside a light of hope
Hope to see a new moon

I really like Tanith, but imo the striped hair was...too stripey, which made it look like a wig.
Didn't she used to have very blonde hair?
I really like Tanith, but imo the striped hair was...too stripey, which made it look like a wig.
Didn't she used to have very blonde hair?
Tanith has brown hair, not that dark, but not blond. she highlights it blonds to contrast with Ben. I agree in the FD, her highlights looks weird, with the lines. However, when she has it down, you can't tell the lines.
There's a fierce Olympic competition brewing for tomorrow night, and all we can discuss is Tanith's hair color?
Those stripes were just plain fugly. [color=red]*[/color][color=red]*[/color][color=red]*[/color] was she thinking?
As I said in the Free Dance thread -- what on earth is UP with those stripes? It makes the top of her head look like a huge, over-ripe gooseberry.......
Go to
and vote for Tanith in the ESPN "Hottest female athlete" poll. Tanith is leading, with 34% of the vote.
I like 'em! It's the kind of thing I wish I could do with my hair. It's too much of an upkeep for me though.
The kind of stripes that Tanith has is actually the fastest & easiest kind of color to do. For maintenance you just comb it tight like Taneth's in OD & stripe the roots. There are kits available at the grocert store for this. Never ever was color off before the recommended processing time has elapsed no matter how it looks or you will end up this orange or yellow stripes.Originally Posted by childfreegirl
I agree, it looked strange.Originally Posted by Johar
I can see why Tanith left Canada for the States. She can cash in on her looks from what I have been hearing - just like Pam Anderson who is from Vancouver Island. Interesting. I didn't consider Tanith all that striking to look at. She looks like a little girl all done up to me. I guess she is trying the hollywood look, perhaps?
Her hair doesn't look bad down, but it looks really bad up. On the subject of ice dancers' hair, I love Federica Faiella's hair.
Are you seriously comparing Tanith Belbin's appearance to Pamela Anderson's?!? Or, even worse, her career ambitions? Good grief.Originally Posted by Ladskater
That's Ridiculouis!Originally Posted by Ladskater
I think Tanith's decision to seek American citizenship was a little more complex than a desire to cash in. I don't agree with that at all; she has been an exceptionally graceful person throughout this process who seems to think about other people.

Find the Distortion
Once I have named the fear or doubt, I try to see if I can file it under any of the forms of distorted thinking that Dr. David Burns describes in his bestseller "Feeling Good," like all-or-nothing thinking, jumping to conclusions, magnification (exaggeration), or discounting the positive (ie "None of my accomplishments count"). My obsession almost always involves at least three forms of distorted thoughts. So I then consider Burns' ten ways of untwisting distorted thinking to help me to undermine my obsession.
For example, using his "cost-benefit analysis" method, I examine how my fear of my co-workers finding out abound my depression is benefitting me and what it is costing me. In the end, I decided to tell my colleagues the information because I realized that I wanted to write about my experience (benefit), and that was worth the risk (cost) of having them reject me based on my diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

Mubadala Aerospace and several of its subsidiaries are at the Singapore Airshow (Booth No. D11). Much of the emphasis for the fast-growing Middle East group is on opportunities for it to develop its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) business in the Middle East. Mubadala entities Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies (ADAT) and SR Technics are at the forefront of these efforts, and they are joined here this week by sister companies Sanad Aero Solutions and Piaggio Aero Industries.
The Abu Dhabi-based group is a subsidiary of the $45 billion sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala Development Co., which was formed in 2002 to diversify the oil-rich emirate's economy. It is here at the Singapore show to promote the burgeoning status of the United Arab Emirate's capital as a global aviation hub and to build on major business wins in Asia over the last 12 months.
For instance, last year, Swiss-based SR Technics announced MRO deals with Asia Pacific-based carriers Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines and Virgin Australia. It also set up offices for operations in Australia and sales in Singapore.
"The Asia Pacific region is an important market for the Mubadala Aerospace MRO network as we work toward our goal of becoming a global market force with unique capabilities, geographic reach and scale," said James Stewart, group CEO of the Mubadala Aerospace MRO network.
Since its formation in 2010, Sanad has built up a $250 million portfolio of aircraft spares and engines under management. It seeks to complement the MRO offerings of ADAT and SR Technics by providing inventory-reduction and sale-leaseback deals, allowing airlines to plow savings on spares financing into fleet growth. Here at the show, the group is promoting a range of services of particular interest to Asian carriers, including integrated component solutions for the Boeing 787.
Speaking at an international inventory and engine asset management forum in May, Stewart said he expected emerging market airlines to fare better in 2012. A regional gap between regions like Asia Pacific and the Middle East and the weaker European and North American markets, still buffeted by the economic crisis, is all too evident, he said.
Mubadala, which set up its aerospace arm in 2006, increased an earlier 40-percent stake in SR Technics to 70 percent in 2009. Until 1997, SR Technics had been the engineering arm of Swissair. It has recently branched out into VIP cabin interiors for widebody private aircraft.
Just in December, SR Technics announced contracts for exclusive repair cycle management (RCM) and engine maintenance with flagcarrier Philippine Airlines. The RCM agreement includes the airline's entire Airbus fleet of 33 wide- and narrowbody aircraft, and a total of 2,000 spare parts. The engine maintenance contract covers 21 CFM56-5C engines for the carrier's Airbus A340-330s.
Last August, the company won a contract from Virgin Australia for MRO services. Some of this work will be handled by ADAT in Abu Dhabi for completion, with component finance provided by Sanad. A first contract covered Virgin's first two Airbus A330s and is to be extended to include at least three more by 2013. Last May, SR Technics announced a 10-year maintenance contract for Asia's third-largest low-cost carrier, Cebu Pacific, servicing 18 CFM International CCFM56-5B engines in its A320 fleet.
Also part of the Mubadala Aerospace group are composites manufacturer Strata, which has just been awarded work on the Airbus A350XWB program, as well as the Horizon Flight Academy. Both operations are based in Al Ain.
In the defense sector, its Advanced Military Maintenance Repair and Overhaul Center is a joint venture with Sikorsky Aerospace and Lockheed Martin to provide support to its operators in the Middle East. And on the civil side, its Piaggio sister company makes the P.180 Avanti II twin pusherprop business aircraft and is working on plans to develop a jet.

A recent addition to our household cookbook library got a bit of a trial by fire when, in the mood for something new, we decided last-minute that the usual Sunday roast needed a rest. In my sights were the sweet potatoes that would've been an accompaniment, and the Paul McCartney-endorsed Meet Free Monday Cookbook. Inside its visually appealing pages, one of the first recipes listed is a dish of sweet potato gnocchi, which are little dumplings that are traditionally sauced and eaten like pasta. So I decided to give the spotlight to the sweet potatoes, mashing them up into a quick dough. To make this Monday dish a bit more Sunday special, I took more care with forming the gnocchi, employing a traditional Italian technique of rolling the cut gnocchi against the tines of a fork to make grooves in them for gripping the sauce.
In short, my groovy meat-free gnocchi were a big hit. They were quite easy to make and the spring-like no-cook sauce hit just the right note. Time will tell if the book will be as much a household staple as its main proponent's music, but so far, we're off to a sweet, meat-free meal start.
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Arugula Pesto
1 1/3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 2)
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup semolina (cream of wheat)
Freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the pesto*
2 ¼ cups arugula
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons pine nuts
½ cup olive oil
Cook the sweet potatoes in boiling salted water for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and leave to cool.
Place all the ingredients for the pesto in a food processor or pound with a mortar and pestle to make a coarse paste.
Mash the potatoes in a bowl until smooth. Add the butter, flour, semolina, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Mix to a dough. Divide the dough into four pieces and shape each piece into a long roll about ¾ inch in diameter, using additional flour as necessary. Cut each roll across unto equal-size disks. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the water in batches and cook for 3-5 minutes until they rise to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm while you cook the rest. Once all the gnocchi are cooked, stir in the pesto, thinning with pasta cooking water as necessary, and serve.
*spinach or herbs, like basil, may be substituted for the arugula if you prefer, and almonds or walnuts can stand in for the pine nuts.
Recipe adapted from Meat Free Mondays Cookbook, forward by Paul, Stella and Mary McCartney.

Canadians are spoiled
I was on my way to a job in Ontario along the North shore of Lake Superior. You guys are spoiled. I had a rod, but I didn't have the daylight or time.
In the states it would be elbow to elbow. Noone!!! Truly beautiful country.
Re: Canadians are spoiled
That looks like my kind of place! Even all the way up here if you don't have a jet boat and plenty of gas it's hard to find an empty river. I manage but to do so I've had to learn the ropes.
Re: Canadians are spoiled
That is beautiful scenery for sure. Canadians truly are spoiled. We might as well throw Alaskans and Minnesotans in here too. I mean where else can a guy go ice fishin in May, and take your kids Trick or Treatin dressed up as snowmobilers. :) They pay their dues and those pics are the reward.
Re: Canadians are spoiled
The North Shore is truly amazing... I've jumped across the Pigeon River and was in Canada... Then made my way back over because I felt I was being watched through a scope.
Re: Canadians are spoiled
Come on over! It can't be any worse than where you'all are :frogdance
Seriously though, I do love where I live; maybe TOO much according to wifey who would like to travel. I tell her we live in the best place on earth so why leave? :D

This comes at no surprise, really.
Jennifer Lopez was recently named the "World's Greatest Musical Comeback Act" and it wasn't determined by a panel or fan votes. This was based on pure numbers. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Boricua superstar's ranking came from Accuracast, a digital search agency that analyzed one billion online Google searches from 2004 to present. We're not one to toot our own horn, but we think Latina.com definitely helped boost J.Lo's Google cred. Do you know how many times we've Googled that woman?!
Jennifer Lopez Makes a $20+ Million Deal to Return to 'American Idol'
The 42-year-old singer/actress beat out other Latinos for the top spot, compatriot Ricky Martin and part-Venezuelan songstress Mariah Carey were hot on her heels. It isn't rocket science to understand how Lopez landed where she has; her business savvy has landed her numerous lucrative deals and she always seems be busy working on new projects. Lopez also had tremendous success with her smash hit "On The Floor," which made it to number five on the Billboard 200 charts.
This past April, People Magazine named the star as the "World's Most Beautiful Woman." La Lopez also experienced incredible success with her 17th fragrance, Love & Light, which sold out in just six hours while she appeared on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). Also, who can forget Lopez's judging gig on American Idol? Her seemingly endless list of projects is overwhelming enough that we created a whole slideshow about it recently.
As for her love life, it is definitely of great interest to Lopez's fans; she and estranged husband Marc Anthony rocked entertainment media this past summer when they announced they were splitting after seven years of marriage. Since then, Lopez has been romantically linked to hottie actor Bradley Cooper and now Los Angeles-based Casper Smart.
So yeah, no wonder J.Lo was ranked "World's Greates Musical Comeback Act."

"(I am) shocked to be in this position. I can't believe this is happening and I'm really disappointed when people make things up," Pomersbach was quoted as saying by The Weekend Australian newspaper.
Pomersbach, who has not played a single game for RCB this season, was today arrested on charges of molesting an Indian American woman and severely attacking her fiancee leaving him in hospital.
The Australian player allegedly misbehaved with the woman, a US citizen of Indian origin, at the Maurya Sheraton Hotel here last night after RCB's IPL match against Delhi Daredevils.
A case has been registered against him under various sections of IPC including section 354 of IPC (outraging modesty of woman), 323 (hurt), 454 (lurking house trespass) and 511 (Punishment for attempting to commit offences punishable with imprisonment for life or other imprisonment).
The woman said the player invited himself for some drinks with the couple and some common friends from Mumbai in their room. She left the men alone and went to her bedroom for catching some sleep but Pomersbach followed her and misbehaved with her, she alleged.
When her fiancee intervened, Luke allegedly beat him up, she said. The woman's fiancee has been admitted to a hospital.
Later in the day, Pomersbach was produced in a Delhi courtroom, where he fainted but was released on bail for 24 hours.
The Indian Premier League organisers have already distanced themselves from the controversy, while RCB has banned Pomersbach till he is proven innocent.

When I first discovered the concept of borderline, I felt like there was a ray of hope. I knew my feelings weren't just depression, I had a deep need to find "self" and figure out who I was. But that relief is now gone. I am glad to find this forum, because I felt like I was at the end of my rope with no support. I do not have resources for therapy, but have been trying to read as much as I can about DBT and borderline self care.
But where do I begin? I feel like my problems are a big circle - one leads to another. I feel overwhelmed sometimes by the enormity of "solving" it all - I know it's not a math problem to be solved, but I want to start moving torward some form of normalcy.
Do I need to find my core abandonment issue to get started? I keep getting stuck on this - so I get stuck in regretting the past, angry at myself for not being better and worrying over lost friendships and relationships.

Under The Knife
Study Your Pain
If I seem a bit distracted, blame hockey. I have the iBook out and I'm writing in the few breaks and in between periods tonight (or last night, for you guys). Planted firmly on the couch with a Sam's Club case of Guinness and a pair of pizzas in the fridge, I'm ready to go. With only one MLB game on tap due to the quirks of interleague scheduling, one would think it would be a quiet night for UTK, but just as much happens on off-days as on game days. Trainers don't get days off or even much of an off-season. I can remember a cold January day when I called 10 trainers and nine of them were in their training room. The 10th? He was at the team's spring training facility.
(OK, game over...congrats to the Devils. Enjoy taking the Cup to the Bada Bing.)
If you've written to me from an AOL account recently and not received a reply, it's not me--it's AOL. AOL has dropped some sort of weird filter and Comcast doesn't yet have a fix. I'm answering the urgent ones from my backup free-mail account, but I wanted everyone to know the deal.
