The Air Max Pillar has been outfitted in several colorways throughout the year, most recently with the "Michigan Wolverines" version. But for their newest pair, Nike went with a much more subtle approach by simply combining Black/Metallic Silver to the construction of the silhouette. These look to be a great wear for the winter season. Anyone interested in scooping these should check with their local retailers on December 8th.

First, you need to obtain a copy of your credit report and study it to see what your credit problems are.
How much does credit repair cost?
You can repair your credit absolutely free if you do it yourself! However, many people choose to get professional help in rebuilding their credit health either because
1) they do not have the time to do it themselves or
2) the credit issues are too serious or complex and require expert help to resolve.
If you choose outside help, the cost is usually a few thousand rupees depending on the seriousness of the issues involved. When choosing someone to help repair credit in India, it is important that you identify a company that does not offer an instant increase in your credit score. Sometimes, some unscrupulous companies who claim to repair credit immediately, can indulge in fraud to instantly raise your credit score. While this might get you a loan in the short term, you will face long term, irreversible damage to your credit when the fraud is detected by the authorities.
How can I repair my credit on my own?
First, you need to obtain a copy of your credit report and study it to see what your credit problems are. Below are some of the more common issues involving credit repair in India and how you could go about resolving them on your own:
1. Administrative/reporting errors: If you identify any mistaken entries that are dragging down your score for no fault of yours, you need to report it to the credit bureau immediately and file a dispute. In India, the 3 credit bureaus that issue credit reports are CIBIL, Equifax and Experian.
2. Large number of missed or delayed payments: Making all your payments in time and in full will significantly help increase your score.
3. High credit utilization rate: If you spend more than 30% of your total credit limit on your credit card, it signals that you are hungry for credit. This will cause your score to drop. You will need to work on reducing your monthly expenses and bringing down your credit utilization rate.
4. Large number of credit accounts: If you have numerous loans and credit cards accounts, it implies that you have insufficient credit and need to tap multiple sources to fulfill your financial obligations. If this is an issue for you, you will need to optimise the number of credit accounts so that you have a healthier credit profile.
If you do not have the time to undertake these steps, or if the credit report seems too technical, it is simple to sign up for professional help. CreditMantri can help you obtain a free credit report, analyse the contents, suggest specific actionable steps on how you can rebuild your credit health, and execute those steps for you as well.

Troy Hedge (Yam) stormed into the lead at the start of a thrilling I25cc A main event to lead Lenz and Tom Hansen around the heavily watered track, which was doused by man made inventions. Hedge and Lenz had their usual war for the lead with Hedge getting the nod for the win. Positions changed in the 250cc A main with Lenz, Hedge, Guy Morden and Scott Coyne (Yam) fighting for top positions. Lenz and Hedge buried the competition as they do every race but it was Lenz coming out on top ahead of Hedge. Morden took third with Coyne fourth. Hayman hauled into the lead in the 250cc Expert main as the skies drew incredibly·black and many had their doubts about completing the pro-. gram. Hayman was out to beat the showers and rode a rampant pace, putting Clint Baskett and Rod Ginn In the place and show positions. The most bizarre race of the season was the 12-lap Open Expert main event, that was cut short considerably due to some nasty thundershowers that made the going rather soupy after a heavy downpour. Amidst all the confusion was the Open Pro main, gating a full field which saw National number 46 Ron Yamamoto (Hon) take the lead into turn one followed by Tony Cruickshank (Suz) and Rusty Yamamoto (Mai). Things got tricky when the finalists hit the east turn and the entire hoardecrashed into one another and looked at each other in disbelief. Ron Yamamoto made things pay off with his roosty holeshot and by holding the lead at the end of a lap was declared the winner. Cruickshank, Rusty Yamamoto, Jeff Seldon and Tim Stults (Hon) were in the money with their top five positions before the incident. The real surprise came when the riders were collecting their machinery and watched in horror as lightning ripped through the tower, sending all scattering for safety and bringing an end to a most bizarre night of racing in the panhandle.

Orlando Magic guards Arron Afflalo and Victor Oladipo have been selected to participate in the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest and Taco Bell Skills Challenge, respectively, at the 2014 NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans, La. Coverage for State Farm All-Star Saturday Night, which will be nationally televised by TNT on February 15, 2014, begins at 8 p.m. ET.
The Magic (14-37) have had another rebuilding season but Afflalo is averaging a career high 19.9 points per game along with rookie Oladipo's 13.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. Both giving Orlando a reason for hope in the future.
Afflalo is shooting 43 percent from beyond the arc this season and has been considered a player that was snubbed for the All-Star game it self.
Oladipo has also been selected to participate in the BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge as part of 2014 NBA All-Star Weekend. The Rising Stars Challenge will take place on Friday, February 14 at 9 p.m. ET and will consist of both NBA rookies and sophomores selected by the NBA's assistant coaches.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello, My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will use all of the available technical information at my disposal to assist you with your vehicle concern.
Wow, you have picked some real nice vehicles. I can honestly say that I have worked on all the models you have looked at, and really have nothing to say negatively about any of them.
It seems that you have loading issues, but do you have trailering issues? The Subaru's would get you where you need to go {camping, kayaking} but wont haul what you need to if you wanted to take the boats camping or install a trailer package to tow a rental trailer for wood, furniture etc. Think about it. How much of that will you get into a Element, Leaf, Forester, Outback, or Impreza? They also lack towing Umph.
Looks to me like you may have already made your answer. The X-Terra. It has towing capacity, a roof rack option, and will get you out of that mud hole you get into after the wet weekend of camping.
If you were not needing an SUV type vehicle, my next choice is the Element. Can't beat a Honda with a stick. Very reliable, but not outfitted for what your wanting to do.
Haha, thats what my husband says, but the mileage is horrible and the emissions are too. We're both fond of the Xterra but the guilt is too much for me with all the environmental options out there now. Its pretty much the same thing with the Element, I like how open you can make it with the way the seats fold up, and the fact that you can hose it out, but it still gets terrible mileage and emits like a truck.
Don't think of the X-Terra as Big. I have a few customers that own them {I am in the mountains of NC} and they love them. I put them on the severe maintenance schedule and pay special attention to servicing the drive train {differentials, transfer case and transmission} more than the scheduled maintenance, due to the abuse they put them through. So, remember that.
Like Kermit said, It ain't easy being green
They're popular here too, we're in city but the mountains are so close most of our friends have trucks. But with the kids I really don't want a truck for the space issue and the rolling concern.
I guess I just have to invent a green gas guzzler! lol
You need to remember that all vehicles manufactured today are emission compliant. The volcano in Iceland emitted more carbon, Hydrocarbons and other gasses than man has in 100 life times, so how much damage are you really doing? Just my opinion.
They're all emission compliant? Is that why gas milage has gone down so much since we bought our last car? 10 years ago
I deal in gasses at work to verify that the vehicle pass, and I can say since they forced ethanol on us, they have reduced, so maybe that will help your decision. I am practical. Like many guys, I install the "What if" factor. That is why he and I agree. From the list you provided, it is the practical choice.
Ethanol. Remember, it takes twice as much to burn like gas.
hmm, well he'll like that
I married, so us guys gotta stick together. ;-}
Haha, yeah and we girls over here wanting to be 'green' ... well I still get a new car! Not many things more exciting then that. Thanks a lot for your help.
Love that new car smell. Watch out for the skunks and bears. I hope I helped you .

NFL Power Points: Titans flexing muscle
Updated: November 19, 2003, 12:41 PM ETBy By Ryan Early | NFL Insider
In a week that saw the NFL turned upside down, the Chiefs and Titans are looking like the cream that has risen to the top. Both teams are now at least a touchdown better than any of the other thirty. The Chiefs remained at a +15.0 Power Point rating when their improved offensive rating was balanced by a lowered defensive rating. There is some evidence that the Chiefs defense is only playing at their high level because for the majority of their games their opponents are playing from behind and become one dimensional in their offense. When they have been given a challenge, such as Week 6 against the Packers or Week 5 against the Broncos, they have buckled under a strong rushing attack. With their weak remaining schedule, it is very possible that the Chiefs go undefeated this season. But just like the '72 Dolphins, they might not be the favored team in a postseason match-up.

Cash4Gold, which rose to national prominence after a Super Bowl ad (and whose business model is based on people blindly mailing off their gold jewelry simply because the TV tells them to do so), has dropped popular blog Consumerist.com as a defendant in its lawsuits against two ex-employees, Michelle Liberis and Vielka Nephew.
We are happy to hear that the famously fierce defenders of consumer rights over at Consumerist are no longer named in the suit, and are also glad that Cash4Gold can now get back to what it is chiefly known for—cheesy television ads and profiting off of a soft yellowish metal that our species for some reason values highly.
Luckily, I literally own nothing made of gold, so I don't have to decide whether Cash4Gold is the best value out there (according to Consumerist, it isn't).
With the economy as it is, I feel it's kind of frivolous to purchase anything that can't be eaten or turned into a makeshift weapon… you know, in case of Armageddon.
Ben Popken, co-executive editor at Consumerist, told MainStreet via e-mail: "We're glad Cash4Gold has realized that prosecuting a meritless lawsuit against Consumerist.com is a fruitless enterprise. For the sake of our former co-defendants Michele Liberis and Vielka Nephew, and for the rights of whistleblowers everywhere, we look forward to the courts swiftly vacating the improperly obtained default judgment against the defendants before Liberis and Nephew had obtained proper counsel. Deep pockets and legal bullying can't stop the truth."

On the Surf's Side
Everyone likes an excuse to party, especially when it's for a good cause. The Texas chapter of the Surfriders Foundation is hosting a benefit, Surfstomp, at the Last Concert Cafe to support its work preserving our coast. Revelers will not only dance and booze the day away, they'll contribute to the group's fight against erosion, litter, polluted runoff and other environmental problems. Surfriders' activism is for the good of the planet, yes, but it's also self-serving. Surfers can't surf without beaches. With the Texas legislature in session, the group is fighting to make the government protect the coastline by, for example, more strongly enforcing the Texas Open Beaches Act, established to keep buildings from encroaching upon public beaches. As Ellis Picket, chairman the Texas chapter, says, "Once again we are fighting an uphill battle in Austin."
Of course, the best cure for any problem is money -- hence this weekend's benefit. Partiers can check out bands Los Rauncheros, Shovelhead, Well Inside Out, the Mandy Smith Group, Mike Perkins, Bobby Breaux, Silvertrip, Mono's Jungle and Scattered Pages. Surfriders will be raffling off a nine-foot, eight-inch Henry Fry retro model surfboard, a five-foot-six Yancey Spencer Boardworks surfboard and a Rip Curl Elasto wetsuit. Door prizes include surf memorabilia and skateboard accessories. 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday, March 29. Last Concert Cafe, 1403 Nance. For information, call 713-906-3940 or visit www.surfrider.org.texas. $10 -- Cathy Matusow
Home Run
The uninspired red-brick houses and town homes that have come to dominate Houston neighborhoods often obscure the city's more interesting abodes. This weekend, the Rice Design Alliance invites Houstonians to tour seven homes in two Museum District neighborhoods, the NP Turner Addition and West Ranch Estates. One 2001 home, built at 1319 Banks Street by New York architect Francois de Menil, found a clever solution to the problem posed by the less stylish houses surrounding it: the use of indirect sunlight, but few large windows, to brighten the inside. The home may sound claustrophobic, but it's really a breezy oasis. 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 29, and Sunday, March 30. Start at any home on the tour. For information and addresses, call 713-348-4876 or visit www.rda.rice.edu. $10 to $35. -- Cathy Matusow
Spin Art
DJ TrickHips, the artist formerly known as Patrick Phipps, is planning a little night music for his exhibition at Mixture Contemporary Art. To that end, he's created Club Monster Island, an alter ego for Mixture, by hanging up a disco ball and bringing in DJs. On Thursday, March 27, DJ Carole F. Smith will spin "only the best in northern soul, roots, early ska and rocksteady." And Thursday, April 3, brings the "post-punk moodiness" of DJ Grils Baloy. Mixture is located right next to Brasil, so you can get hopped up on caffeine products then hit the dance floor. Both events take place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Mixture Gallery, 1709 Westheimer. For information, call 713-520-6809. -- Kelly Klaasmeyer

The Rhythm Room's Green Machine"
God, I feel like I'm living in Twin Peaks," said the guy sitting next to me at the Rhythm Room (1815 Washington, 713-863-0943). The band on stage, Felix Madison (with some assorted hangers-on from the earlier open-mike session), was doing a note-for-note re-creation of "Sidewinders," and I had to admit, the mood was a little creepy. When I asked a bartender named Nicole for a little something different to drink, she batted her eyelashes and proceeded to whip up a Green Machine. The drink wasn't bad, but by the time I got halfway through it the sound guy had picked up a bass guitar and jumped on stage to sing Hall & Oates' "Sarah Smile." This isn't Twin Peaks, I thought; it's a real live nightmare.

Leaving the echoing halls of Hogwarts in his broomstick's wake, Daniel Radcliffe is on a mission to prove he's more than just The Boy Who Lived.
From Kill Your Darlings to A Young Doctor's Notebook, Radcliffe has been tackling a series of interesting roles that showcase his skills not just as a wizard, but also as an actor.
His latest is What If, a fun rom-com starring Zoe Kazan, Rafe Spall, and the soon-to-be-star of the new Star Wars film, Adam Driver, who you'll recognise from Girls. Radcliffe plays Wallace, a dropout who falls for the oddly named but charming Chantry (Kazan). But she's only got a boyfriend, hasn't she? The path of true love, and all that. Smart and funny, with a great soundtrack, it's totally worth checking out.
As is the shirt that Radcliffe wore to film's recent premiere, because it's from ASOS. Daniel has made this bad boy — a short-sleeved number in geo print — his own by pairing it with some smart slim-fit jeans and a pair of tan desert boots. It's a simple, smart/casual look that'll work for tons of occasions. Accio, style!

Rihanna Partying at Barbados Crop Over Festival | Pictures
Rihanna's Wild Week in Barbados
Rihanna modeled a series of skimpy bikinis during her return to her native Barbados this week. She has been documenting her trip on her Instagram account, sharing photos of her hitting the beach, relaxing poolside, and reuniting with her BFF during her downtime at home. Rihanna may be taking time for a bit of rest and relaxation after a wild weekend of celebrating Barbados's annual Crop Over festival. For the festivities, Rihanna showed serious skin in a tiny sequined leotard, to party it up in the streets. It seems she got a head start on the celebrations last Friday night, sharing the experience on her Twitter account: "Woke up in paint and a veil from partying in the street all morning! Crop Over almost here!" The party continued on Monday as Rihanna left little to the imagination in a bedazzled ensemble as the historic Kadooment Day Parade took over the capital city of Bridgetown.
Rihanna's latest sexy snaps are just her latest during her busy yet bikini-filled Summer. Last month, Rihanna hit the beach in a black swimsuit during a stay in Monaco, where she performed as part of her Diamonds world tour. She also got to sneak in a bit of bikini time in Sopot during her tour stop in Poland in early July.

NonprayingMantis: Aside from Netflix etc, would using Fyx also be a handy way to totally avoid getting pinged with a copyright notice?
Pretty sure there are hard and fast laws around that.
GeoffisPure: I think this is a terrible idea. A few points:
1. Maxnet need to make up their mind what they're about. On one hand they encourage censorship by having the DIA filter, and on the other hand they create a business model that appeals MOSTLY do those who want to access stuff they're not allowed to (albeit for different reasons). Their website claims "FYX is an ISP that is all about open access and freedom", yet they know how many people feel about the DIA filter.
Side question: Isn't Maxnet run by some conservative religious group, like the Exclusive Brethren or something? Forgive me and delete this question if I'm wrong.
I can't see why people are comparing the DIA filter to Geo unblocking. The DIA filter is a opt-in kiddie porn filter, ISPs who make use of the service can opt-out if legitimate content started to be blocked. FYX are in no way promoting such viewing at all from what I've read, not sure where you got that impression from.
I'd be more worried about the state of those who want to be able to access the type of content that filter blocks anyway...
Tabuti: This looks awesome.. Once someone jumps on it could you post a speedtest to kiwi servers & some east coast us ones?
Will try tonight

" Virgin Cola first launched onto the scene in the UK in 1994 and has since expanded into Cola flavours with Virgin Vanilla. "
Just a rather quick review today folks. My local shop had no coca-cola left this morning (oh the horror, I mean what kind of shop runs out of coca-cola, I mean its probably one of the nations favourite fizzy drinks) and having a hangover I was greatly in need of a nice 2L fizzy juice.
The shop assistant pointed out to me that they did however have virgin cola, and that it apparently tasted just the same.
So I decided to give it a try. I paid £1.60 for a 2L in comparison to £1.65 for the leading brand in the same shop so first of, there isn't much of a saving.
The packaging is your average transparent plastic bottle, with red plastic lid, and a large label wrapped all the way round displaying the logo, dietry info, size, use by date, etc.
Anyways, the taste, in my opinion was horrible. It wasn't so much the first drink taste, but the awful after-taste it left in your mouth. NOT NICE. ALso it lacked the fizz, that the leading brand has, it seemed to go flat almost immedietly after pouring into the glass.
I have tried various other brands of my favourite fizzy drink, and this I think is definetly not one of the better alternatives, for its price, it tastes dreadful, smartprice cola from Asda is even prefrable, although its bland, it doesn't have the melted plastic aftertaste that the Virgin Cola does.
So please don't waste your money, on this almost same price, crappy tasting alternative.
NOTE: May add to this review at a later date, as it's rather on the short side with only 250 wrods consumer opinion, just wanted to rant though lol.
Thanks for reading!
If you like Coca Cola, you probably won't be a fan of Virgin's cheapy take on it! This is a fizzy cola drink very similar to the popular brand most of us know but for some reason, this has a chemical after taste to it and doesn't stay fizzy as long as Coca Cola does no matter how carefully you store it.
I'm not a fan of this company after the stunt where they sold tap water in bottles so it's no surprise to find this is a cheap tasting soft drink - it probably is cheap for them to make despite the high price tag they pass over to the consumer.
Fortunately for us consumers though, you won't find this adorning the shelves of most local shops or supermarkets thanks to it's general unpopularity. In fact one of the few places I know of that continue to sell it is Virgin Airways, in which case you're best off flying with British Airways or packing your own!
Really not recommended. At least when you pay a cheap price for a cheap cola you get what you pay for.
In 1994 the crazy man that is Richard Branson released Virgin cola on us, now usually I would have nothing against having a virgin released upon me but this stuff that was designed to take on the American giants, Coke and Pepsi leaves a lot to be desired.
For me Virgin cola is just another cheap version of Coke and Pepsi, no better or no worse than the many stores own brand versions that are floating about. It goes flat too quickly after opening, it has a poor imitation cola taste and it is not all that much cheaper than the big two so why bother with it in the first place.
It was announced as the cola drink of the people but then that is how good old Richard or dick as I like to call him markets all his things, as being for the people, let me tell you now for those of you who have not already figured it out these things are not for the people, Virgin media, Virgin airlines and all the other Virgin brand things including this cola are not for the people they are for Richard Branson to line his pockets.
I have nothing against a man making money and doing well for himself but to claim to be doing it all for the people really gets my back up. I have to be honest and say that even if this cola was the best on the market I would not drink it out of principle but the fact is that it is not the best, nor second best in fact it is not even third best although it is the third most expensive.
Don't be fooled, steer well clear of this imitation muck he calls the cola for the people!!
Richard Bransons company originally launched Virgin Cola in 1994 with the intention of rivalling the American giants, even going so far as to drive a tank through New Yorks Time Square in a marketing campaign and launching 'The Pammy', a bottle shape modelled on the body of Pamela Anderson. Although the Virgin brand is well established around the world, Branson admits that cola is one of the less succesful Virgin ventures. Princes have produced, marketed and distributed Virgin Cola under franchise since 2002 in the UK, and relaunched the product in 2004 with the 'great new taste' campaign, in which taste tests were undertaken that showed people preferred Virgin to other leading cola brands. It was admirable of Branson, although probably foolish, to take on Pepsi and Coke, but in comparison to them I prefer Virgin - it's better both in terms of value for money and, more importantly, taste.
It's a sweet tasting cola that lacks the gassiness of the Yankee brands. It is fizzy, but not too much so, which makes it especially good as a mixer, (I'll have a whisky in mine thanks!). For the same reason it's more refreshing to drink if you're thirsty. It does the job of quenching thirst which doesn't happen with drinks that are too sharp and just make you burp if you glug them down too quickly. More differences from other colas are; the lack of aftertaste and lack of icky feeling on your teeth after drinking. That's not to say it isn't full of sugars and other additives, so you shouldn't drink a lot of it, but if you do, be sure to brush your teeth regularly. Like most soft drinks it tastes best chilled and it does have a tendency to go flat if left in the bottle for too long.
On average Virgin is cheaper than Coca Cola and Pepsi, (you shouldn't pay more than about £1.35 for a two litre bottle oop north), and it's often on special offer. It's available in regular, diet, vanilla and caffeine free varieties and in the usual varied sizes of cans and bottles in most supermarkets and various independent retailers.

We're getting married in Texas
I am from Chile. I met him on June 10th. I had been a member of LDS Mingle for a long time, but with no good results. When I met him I wasn't looking for anything, just to talk. So, we had a chance to become great friends. We laughed so much. We started talking on the phone in July, we often jokingly said I should fly up to see him. In August, he had to go through an Army leadership training course, but we were not apart, he called me on his cell phone whenever he could.
Before his training course was over, I decided I would go up to the United States to see him. Without telling even my family, I did all the paperwork to get my passport, visa and (with my dad's help) a plane ticket. When I told them (my family and Carl) the news that I was going, I got a lot of reactions. My family cried, Carl was extremely excited, my ward was excited too.
But, I was going up just to see him. He put me up with a young couple in his ward, I am staying with them until we get married. He proposed on October 10th after visiting the Dallas temple. But, where he proposed was in a gun store.
We're getting married in Texas and having a reception in Idaho on December 10th with his family.

Loads of talent is what they say about Mohanbabu's daughter Lakshmi Manchu. But her moves, not know whether intentional or unintentional are said to be confusing our directors.
Every other time, Lakshmi is busy hearing scripts from wannabe directors and burns her hands if she likes one. But this is not confusing or disturbing our wannabe directors. Now and then, Lakshmi's photo shoots are somehow appearing in internet pushing people into thinking whether she will do acting or producing. With her hot photographs scorching screens, she is rather taken as an actress but not as a producer. The talented beauty needs to erase confusion soon.
And, without settling in any particular trade, it is unsafe to travel on multiple boats. Even Mohan Babu started producing movies after he has won accolades as an artist.

Why does the headless horsemen chase Ichabod Crane in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" ?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
Most people believe to a certainity that the headless horseman is Brom Bones. That being the case, Brom knows very well the degree that Ichabod is scared of nearly everything. His objective is to keep Ichabod away from Katrina Van Tassel, so he hopes to scare him very badly and make him stay away.
It is speculated that Brom wanted to kill Ichabod, but I don't see anything in Brom's character to indicate that. Undoubtedly, since Ichabod is not seem in Sleepy Hollow again, it is likely that Ichabod learns that Brom had let other people in on the headless horseman stint and Ichabod is too humiliated to be seen in Sleepy Hollow again.
In any event, the chase is just the start of this whole sequence of events and speculations.

KELSEYVILLE -- A marathon first doubles victory by Mary McCallister and Aaron Fultz has the Kelseyville Knights exactly where they want to be going into their final Coastal Mountain Conference tennis match of the season ... on the verge of winning an outright championship.
McCallister and Fultz beat Trevor Smith and Christian Nikolov 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (8-6) on Tuesday afternoon to give Kelseyville a down-to-the-wire 3-2 victory over the Middletown Mustangs at the Gard Street School courts in Kelseyville.
While avenging a 4-1 loss to Middletown earlier this season, the Knights (6-1) also moved to within a win of capturing the outright conference title, something they can achieve on Monday with a victory at St. Helena (5-1). St. Helena also has a match remaining with Middletown (4-2), leaving open a handful of scenarios as to how the race will end.
As far as the Knights and coach Jeff McLaren are concerned, the best scenario is beating St. Helena on the road Monday, which is easier said than done. In the battle between Kelseyville, Middletown and St. Helena this season, none of those teams has won on the road.
"Someone among the big three has to win on the road if they want to win this thing," McLaren said.
Kelseyville swept the doubles portion of the competition against Middletown. Along with McCallister/Fultz, the Knights' second doubles team of Justin Lombardo and Drew Ashby also came away victorious, beating Ariana Diaz and Elena Garay 6-1, 6-1.
Middletown won two of the three singles matches. While Kelseyville's Kyle Schmidt dominated Cassidy Parker 6-2, 6-2 in first singles, the Mustangs' Chris King and Robert Amante notched wins in second and third singles, respectively. King beat Max Lehman 7-5, 6-4 while Amante rallied for a 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 win over Claire Vargas.

RICHMOND, Va. – "I wouldn't want any other governor to go through what I've gone through over the last couple of months."
Governor McDonnell continued to answer questions on WRVA's "Ask the Governor" about what has been a dark cloud over his office for the past few months. Thousands of dollars in gifts and loans given to his wife, daughter, and a side business with his sister by Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams.
"I realize that over the last several months that this has been a distraction to the people of Virginia. I issued an apology last week," McDonnell said.
The governor said he's returning the loans and gifts, and announced his daughter has since given $15,000 she received for catering at her wedding – doing so under her own volition.
"It has done some things that have begged questions about why this particular donor gave us so many gifts and to the degree it has undermined trust that is critically important to me."
The governor says he's now working on coming up with proposals for more disclosure and potential gift bans for lawmakers.
"Everything from the definition from personal friend, to some limit on gift bans, to dealing with gifts to children that perhaps reside in your house."
While the governor has said he will return loans and gifts, some democrats are calling on him to pay for more than $50,000 in attorney fees that taxpayers are now paying in regards to a case against a former mansion chef.
McDonnell says they are looking at what the federal government and other states do regarding gifts before making recommendations to the General Assembly.

NBA Franchise Notes: 76ers Not Raising Prices For '07-08
Comcast-Spectacor President Peter Luukko in an e-mail indicated that the 76ers will not be raising ticket prices next season. Luukko: "We've readjusted some of our pricing for the Sixers and when you look at it (on average), some of our prices have been slightly reduced." He added the ticketing structure for the Mezzanine Level will be reconfigured from four price categories to three, dropping the average price there from $33.62 to $31.58. In all, the "average overall ticket price will go from $70.26 to $69.39." In Philadelphia, Paul Vigna noted the 76ers finished the season with "around 15,000 tickets sold per game, their lowest average attendance" since '95-96 when they averaged 11,935 at the Philadelphia Spectrum (PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS, 4/18).
SONICS: With the Sonics looking at possibly relocating before their KeyArena lease expires in 2010, Save Our Sonics & Storm's Steven Pyeatt in a guest commentary for the DAILY OKLAHOMAN writes, "The message we are sending to Oklahoma City is don't get too excited at what you see going on in Seattle right now. ... We all hope you get to have a NBA team in your fine city, but we will not allow it to be our team" (DAILY OKLAHOMAN, 4/20). Sources said that if the team "gets the NBA's okay" to move to Oklahoma City, Sonics Owner Clay Bennett will "likely go after" Spurs GM R.C. Buford (ESPN THE MAGAZINE, 4/23 issue).
T'WOLVES: In Minneapolis, Sid Hartman notes just 64% of T'Wolves season-ticket holders have renewed for the '07-08 season (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 4/20).

Eight years later, we can say to Mr. Bush:
My published articles are archived at iSteve.com -- Steve Sailer
My published articles are archived at iSteve.com -- Steve Sailer
Well, it says a lot about Canada's importance in American minds that the only comment for this post so far is from a Canuck ! BTW, his visit unleashed an unseemly orgy of adoration from his Canadian fans. Maybe the fact that it's not their country he's gonna bankrupt has something to do with it.
Bush's by-the-textbook artificial boom & inevitable bust economics turned out to be the fatal flaw.
Construction workers have been heading back to Mexico ..
I note that Obama revealed that he has never seen a hockey game. Hmm, I wonder why…maybe hockey doesn't have the right kind of diversity for a post-racial um, person.
And Obama was generous enough to say that the 'sand oil' Canada sells to the USA is bad for the environment so I guess Canada can sell it to China instead.
All I can say is, considering Obama's hometown Blackhawks are chasing the Stanley Cup Champion Red Wings…Go Red Wings!
Canada is very much into 'diversity', of course. The majority of Canada's visible minorities hail from south or east Asia, yet so many TV adds will feature the almost mandatory black person. What sins against blacks does Canada has to atone for, I often wonder ?
Oh man, don't get Steve started on hockey. I suspect that if he started watching it, we would see a new "Mulatto elite" post regarding Jarome Iginla.
Maybe Obama wants to make America more like Soviet Canuckistan.
He could be there to inspect their human rights tribunals that have outlawed free speech.
Our presidents should stop visiting foreign countries for inspiration.
Canada itself is heading towards a future which looks like a mix of Haiti and Karachi. The way things are going there will be no essential difference in standard of livings from Alaska to Brazil in the future (except for the elite enclaves, East Asian neighbourhoods and some small traditional North American White towns dotted around in Third World America)
Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don't worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

Don't want to read our hands-on preview of Lost Planet? Head over to the VideoGamer.com video player for a video preview of Lost Planet on PS3, including three minutes of direct feed footage.
After what seems like a mammoth wait for PlayStation 3 gamers, Lost Planet will finally be released on Sony's console in February. The game enjoyed monumental success on the Xbox 360, so is Capcom putting together a port that Sony's platform deserves?
The game takes place on an earth-like world covered in ice and snow, inhabited by humans and an alien species known as the Akrid. Unluckily for the humans on the planet, Akrid are more or less a species of bugs of all shapes and sizes, but they do harvest and store precious thermal energy. This glowing orange liquid is at the heart of the game's story, being the vital resource the main characters are after and what keeps Wayne, the game's pivotal character, alive.
For a large portion of the game, particularly early on, Wayne moves around on foot, and the Akrid are by far the biggest threat to his life. These bugs range in size from dog-sized walking and flying nasties that constantly spawn from gruesome looking nests, to amazingly large beetle and crab-like monsters that wouldn't be out of place in the Starship Troopers movies.
Walking around is only one of the ways to get about in Lost Planet though, with Vital Suits providing a more lethal way to tackle the pesky Akrid. Wayne can hop in and out of these mechs whenever he wants, but like pretty much everything else in the game they'll only run while you have thermal energy to power them.
As in the Xbox 360 game boss battles crop up frequently and are real highlights of the game. The majority of levels feature a boss at the end and although we're yet to see all of the PlayStation 3 game, all so far have appeared as they did in the 360 original. We're also going to have to spend more time with the game to see if the often infuriating difficulty of the original has been balanced out at all for this PlayStation 3 release.
Capcom has told us that work is still being carried out on the game, primarily with the visuals. While the build we played is far from ugly, it certainly lacks the polish of the Xbox 360 version. Hopefully Capcom's ongoing work on the frame rate and anti-aliasing will give the final game a smoother appearance so PlayStation 3 gamers can experience the same high quality visuals that wowed 360 owners early in 2007.
Something very much intact is the rather cheesy acting and voice work. Throughout the game you're treated to lengthy in-engine cutscenes with the main characters and at times it's hard not to raise a smile at what's being said. It's not quite to the extreme level seen in the Devil May Cry series, but still incredibly Eastern in its design.
The PS3 game also requires a 15-minute install before you begin playing. While this didn't make for hugely improved load times over the Xbox 360 original, the PS3 game certainly has the edge in this area.
With a full compliment of online game modes, including all the content found in the Xbox 360 game as well as its downloadable expansions, Lost Planet for PlayStation 3 is shaping up like a title all action game fans should be interested in. Hopefully Capcom will have sorted out the numerous graphical issues in time for the game's late February release date.

Madrid • Euro-area economic confidence declined more than economists predicted in August, backing President Mario Draghi's warning that more stimulus may be needed.
An index of executive and consumer sentiment fell to 100.6 from a revised 102.1 in July, the European Commission in Brussels said Thursday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of 25 economists was for a drop to 101.5.
With investors' price expectations for the euro area sliding and data forecast to show inflation at the weakest since 2009 and stubbornly high unemployment, Draghi has signaled he's moving closer toward quantitative easing. Manufacturing and services activity slowed in August amid rising political tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East, after the 18-nation economy stagnated in the second quarter.

A southwest Ohio truck driver has been charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the death of a Kent man in a traffic crash on Interstate 76 in Summit County on Sept. 6.
Daniel C. Ballard, 48, of Cleves in Hamilton County, is charged with one count each of vehicular manslaughter, a second-degree misdemeanor, and failure to maintain assured clear distance ahead -- or following too closely -- which is a minor misdemeanor, according to Stow Municipal Court records.
Ballard recently pleaded not guilty to the charges and is free on bond pending a pretrial hearing in Judge Lisa Coates' courtroom on Nov. 5, according to court records.
Tallmadge police filed the charges after Ballard's semi-truck allegedly struck W. Roak Zeller's vehicle from behind in traffic while headed westbound on I-76 shortly before 8 a.m. Sept. 6. Zeller had slowed down in traffic caused by a different crash in the Akron area. Zeller's vehicle then struck a third vehicle.
Zeller, 42, of Kent, was ejected from his vehicle and died at the scene, according to Tallmadge police. Ballard was treated for minor injuries. The third driver was not injured.

Here, freelance writer Aaron Glantz hones in on the momentous impact of the Iraq war on injured veterans as they return home.
The War Comes Home is structured around the different experiences of US veterans of the Iraq war. Sections of the book are dedicated to the difficulties of reintegrating to civilian life after coming home, living with disability, unemployment, dealing with the military bureaucracy, suicide, and homelessness - as well as more upbeat sections about families, communities and fellow veterans pulling together to help each other.
Each section is told primarily through personal stories of Iraq war veterans and their families, backed-up by statistics. Some veterans appear as regular characters throughout the book, some only appear for a short discussion. Such a structure shows both the scope and the humanity of the issues at stake. In this way, The War Comes Home is conversational, readable, and informative.

"A biased but thoughtful look at soldier's issues"
While this book is slightly biased to the left side of the political spectrum, I would recommend this book to any friend struggling with the same issues addressed within. The stories of returning veterans and wounded warriors will help to show they are not alone in their struggles and trials. The author also provides a plethora of helpful websites, hotlines, phone numbers, and Veteran Service Organizations' information that could be very useful to those seeking assistance with problems.
I found it very interesting to read this because of the point of view. It was written by a war correspondent that was dealing with the aftermath of those things he witnessed covering our most recent conflict.
I would probably not listen to anything else by Mr. Stampone, but I would recommend this book.
I was not inspired to anything that I was not already doing or planning. But the book did inform me of some of the organizations that are attempting to help our returning soldiers.

XLS or XTi for hi-fi use?
Mctwins replied to kanny's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionHallo! I would go with XLS instead of XTi. The XTi is more for sound reinforcement and you will have more "ppssshhhhhh" sound from the tweeter with XTi. The XLS is perfect for hifi use. But, I am using a MA5000i in my hifi system and there is no "ppssshhhhhh" sound.
XLS Series 2 Amp Trigger / Sleep Connection?
Mctwins replied to luisv's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionHallo! I have Crown DCi 2/600N and also have this feature. In this amp the sleep mode is controlled via System Architect. Don't now if it is the same for XLS 2502 amp via menu display. On my pre amp I have power control cable of type mini jack 3,5mm. With this cable I connect it to my amp(AUX) and when I turn ON from Output 1 on my preamp the Crown turns ON as well. When I have my Crown ON and no signal present then the amplifier goes into Sleep Mode, adjusted for 1 hour via System Architect. In this case the Amplifer does not turn OFF, the voltage rails inside the amp turns OFF. Only when I turn ON/OFF from my preamp the Amplifer does the same(like if the ON/OFF push button from front panel is used) It was a little bit tricky at first to make it work, I think I had my Crown in OFF position and then connected the minijack cable to turn it ON and from there it worked via my preamplifer ON/OFF. If my memory serves me right.
Hallo! I contacted the Crown support and talk to a nice guy and he told me that there is no "Input Compressor" on these amplifiers and maybe never will be. Some sort of printing error on that "Data Sheet". I coulden't agree more. We talkt about LevelMax limiters instead and here I understand perfectly Anyway, as I said before, very satisfied with this amp. Thanks
Hi Alain Yes, I have the latest firmware AA 1.40.1 and my current version and available version is for that amp 22.214.171.124. The icon or button for the Input Compressor isin't there.
Crown DCi 2/600N
Mctwins posted a topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionHallo! First of all I have to say that I am very satisfied with this amp running with my JBL 4429 speakers. But, I have some question? When I read the data sheet on "Features" and on "Digital Signal Processing (DSP) features included" in this link http://www.crownaudi..._101113_Int.pdf it say's that there is "Input Compressor" Well, I have to say that I don't find it anywhere on my AudioArchitect. Everything is there exept for Input Compressor. and LevelMax limiters for Input and Outputs? Don't find any Input Limiters as well. Do I miss something here or will there be an update? I would like to have more info on this, Thanks.
YES I have the MAi5000 and dbx260. I dont understand why OP have to use both output 5 and 6 from 260 in mono and use 2 cables to the amp and run it in stereo??? There is a feature in MAi called Y-link, just use it. Thanks
Hi I don't understand what you are doing, why use the y-link on MAi in the first place?? I will wait for your reply. Thanks
So, in RCA and XLR it is 1,4Volts. Is this the same as in +4 dBu. If I have a preamp that has RCA and 0,775 Volts as standard then this means that I cant get full power from the amp?? Can this be correct?? Thanks
If you were working in stereo, then you will notice a difference, more notably in sound quality rather then pure SPL. Iv'e posted a question for you on DBX Forums. The big question here is where the subs are placed. The tops on the subs left and right or subs together in the middle to take advantage of mutual coupling. The OP have to give the right info about the setup. Thanks Thanks
I allready gave the answer. Thanks
In Y Mode, the amp takes the signal from channel 1 and puts it into both channels of the amp, this way only the volume control knob of channel one controls the volume of the whole amp. Output is on both speakons. If you need both channels (5 and 6) then Y Mode is not for you... What you need to do is use signal summing for channels 5 and 6 on the DR260 (you have this feature), now it doesn't matter if the amp is on dual mode (stereo) or Y Mode. I totally missed this one. In Y mode on MAi you put the cable to ch1 and you CAN adjust the knobs independently. I think you are refering to bridge config. Thanks
Ok, I will look into it. But I have checked via GUI snd using wizard and there is sure no indication if it is A+B, stereo or A and B, only what output you want, stereo or mono if using the presets or custom. If one is using JRX speakers and crown amps via presets, and have mono sub and two tops. Then it is stereo in and stereo out to the tops and mono out to sub. How do I know if it is A+B stereo or A and B for the subs??? I will check via panel off course. Thanks
Maybe I should wrote Kevin Heber. You refer to another Kevin. Why the abandoned by the tech support. Thanks

It's time for a Starbucks history lesson…a particular store worth talking about because of its very unique story. Every Starbucks store has its history, fans, and tall tales. But the Columbia Center Starbucks, located at 4th and Cherry in downtown Seattle, has one of the longest histories of any Starbucks. The store dates back to the 1980s, a time when there were a handful of Starbucks. It was Howard Schultz's first store, and originally called "Il Giornale" the name of his espresso bar chain before he purchased Starbucks. The modern Starbucks was born when Howard Schultz merged his existing Il Giornale business into the coffee company he purchased, called Starbucks (and that's a very abbreviated version of the story).
This store was the earliest Starbucks hub. Howard Schultz purchased Starbucks on August 15, 1987, and in the book Pour Your Heart Into It he describes going to Il Giornale on that eventful day (now Starbucks store 101, and the store number begins with a "1" because it started as an Il Giornale.)…
"It was a sunny Friday afternoon in August that greeted me when I walked out of the lawyers' offices after closing the deal to acquire Starbucks…
I strode across the street to Columbia Center, to that first Il Giornale store. At 2 p.m. on a summer afternoon, there was only one other customer, a woman standing at the window, deep in thought. I greeted the baristas, who had no idea of the transaction we had just completed. They made me a doppio macchiato…and a cappuccino for Scott. We sat on barstools near the window."
Chapter 7, Pour Your Heart Into It
(By the way, as I write this, there are no bar stools at Starbucks store 101 anymore).
The Columbia Center Starbucks opened as Howard Schultz's first Il Giornale on April 8, 1986. In 1986, if you had walked into this Il Giornale coffeehouse, here's what you would have experienced:
"In that first store, we were determined to re-create a true Italian-style coffee bar. Our primary mission was to be authentic. We didn't want anything to dilute the integrity of the espresso and the Italian coffee bar experience in Seattle. For music, we played only Italian opera. The baristas wore white shirts and bow ties. All service was stand-up, with no seating. We hung national and international newspapers on roads on the wall. The menu was covered with Italian words. Even the decor was Italian."
Chapter 6, Pour Your Heart Into It
In the year 2010, the customer based hasn't changed one bit for this store (stand up seating makes some sense for this intensely busy store). From Pour Your Heart Into It, we learn that "[o]ur customers, most of whom worked in the busy downtown office buildings nearby, were always in a hurry." This is absolutely still true. The store clientele is almost entirely very hurried business professionals, some lawyers, some judges, county and city employees. You could sit in the store for a week and never see a minor. One time I saw a court bailiff (whom I recognized) using a courtfile cart to make a "Starbucks run" for all the court-staff in her courtroom at Seattle Municipal Court!
So why am I writing this short blog post about the Columbia Center?
First, in some ways, I get the sense nothing has changed. It's still – by design of the location – a central hub of activity for that area of downtown. It is literally close to the King County Court House, Seattle Municipal Court, King County Administration Building, City Hall, and other governmental buildings. Starbucks where you're most likely to run into an elected Seattle official? Columbia Center Starbucks.
Secondly, the unique story behind this store is worth telling. Really, no other Starbucks has this unique legacy. It's as important to the development of Starbucks as the story of the original Starbucks at 1912 Pike Place.
Third, by chance, this is a regular Starbucks for me because it is both a Clover location as well as being centrally located to Seattle's courts. These days, you're much more likely to find "Starbucks Melody" at the Columbia Center Starbucks than the big H in deliberations over whether paper cups are needed to run a coffee business…
"We even debated whether we should have paper cups for the to-go business, which we knew would constitute a large part of our revenues. Although espresso tastes better in ceramic cups, we didn't really have a choice: If we didn't offer coffee to go, business would have been minimal."
Chapter 6, Pour Your Heart Into It
Recently, a Starbucks partner who has been with Starbucks about 14 years told me that she remembered the Columbia Center store being the main training store in the mid to late 1990s. In that era, you learned about coffee and espresso first in a training setting before being given on-the-job training. Modernly, this Starbucks has a great team of baristas who work together to deliver quick drinks with a smile. The current store manager is "Hallie". Several coffee masters will help you pick out some great coffee. They are a fantastic team.
Just to point out what kind of a great team this store has, here is a mystarbucksidea.com thread with props for the store (I have no idea who "SeattleBuber" is who started the thread):
For a previous blog entry mentioning the Columbia Center, click here. That blog entry focused on an older version of the Siren logo.
And for a current look at the inside of the Columbia Center (inside photos taken 12-31-2009 – Note, there is no Christmas Blend in the store because this Starbucks sold through ALL their Christmas Blend in flavorlock bags):

Welcome to the show: Shatha Hassoun to perform live at Hala February Festival 2014
Shatha is to perform live at the Hala February Festival this year in Kuwait. (Image: Facebook)
Iraqi-Moroccan singer Shatha Hassoun Instagrammed some good news to her fans this week; she will be performing her best hits at the upcoming Hala February Fetival this month.
Shatha asked her fans which of her songs they'd like to hear her perform at her concert on 13 February.
Hala February Festival is an annual festival, which is organized by Kuwait city. Variety of activities, carnivals and special events are organized through the festival. Festival attendants, also, enjoy spending their time in shopping, as well as, attending musical parties, poetry evenings, cultural seminars and plastic arts.
In relevant news, last December it was reported that Syrian singer Mayada El Henawi was denied an entry Visa into Kuwait, where she was intending to perform at the annual Hala February Festival.
Speaking to Sham FM, Mayada said that she was planning on performing at the February festival, by special invitation from the organizers, but believes that she was denied access into the country because of her political views.
Mayada is a supporter of Syrian President Bashar Al Assad, who is accused of killing hundreds of thousands of people in the ongoing Syrian Revolution.
The singer is convinced that Kuwait is against her political stance, but said that she isn't regretful at the price she's having to pay for it, because according to her, it's her duty to stand by her President.

text: I'm trying to figure out how I can manage my emails via my computer that are on my phone. I have two email accounts I mainly use. @Live.com, and @hotmail.com Is there a way to sync them so I can delete the emails from Windows Live version of Outlook? So I don't have to go threw 100's of emails on my phone. EX: I delete them from my PC client and they are deleted from my phone. Also, I'm trying to figure out the server info for my work email. I work at Walmart. I want to be able to check it at home. No one at work can comprehend what I mean. I just got hired and I'm being asked to do IT work on their computers... That email is @email.wal-mart.com if that helps. I'm still fairly new with the Android platform. If you can't help me, will you please point me in the right direction for any of the above. I appreciate it. Thank you for your help in advance.
