Resistance to 'Stimulus' Bill 'Irresponsible,'
ABC's Cokie Roberts denounced as "irresponsible" conservative opposition to the "stimulus" bill and suggested those who voted against it should be punished, declaring on Sunday's This Week: "I just think that when you're in a situation like this, to do nothing is so irresponsible that you can't, you can't get away with it."
Earlier on the show, host George Stephanopoulos pressed Congresswoman Maxine Waters to agree banks must be nationalized: "A lot of economists now saying that what is really -- could be needed is bite the bullet nationalization." Citing a professor's op-ed, "Nationalize the Banks! We're all Swedes Now," Stephanopoulos recited the argument "we should just do what they did when they faced their crisis. They nationalized the banks and they came out of it okay." When the far-left House member resisted -- "I don't think that we're ready to move to the point of a formalized, nationalized banking program yet" -- Stephanopoulos pleaded: "Even if it's the only thing that would work?"
George Will criticized the Roberts formulation as "the fallacy of a false alternative" since "there are lots of things that could have been done that weren't and lots of things that are done in this bill that shouldn't be done." Sam Donaldson then jumped in to support Roberts' take: "So the big rolling stone following Indiana Jones is coming down. And somebody says 'let's go to the left and escape it.' And someone says, 'that's the wrong direction, let's go to the right.' Do you just sit there? No, you go to the left if that's what the majority wants to do." Yes, let's all jump off the cliff in bipartisan harmony.
Roberts, however, despite her castigation of Republican opponents as people who shouldn't be allowed to "get away" with their "irresponsible" vote, conceded: "There's no reason for Republicans who feel that they ideologically, philosophically are against this kind of spending to go along with it just in the name of bipartisanship. That would be voting against their principles."

The February 15 Washington Post "Outlook" section piece, "Nationalize the Banks! We're all Swedes Now," by Matthew Richardson and Nouriel Roubini, "professors at New York University's Stern School of Business, contributed to the upcoming book Restoring Financial Stability: How to Repair a Failed System." See: www.washingtonpost.com
From the February 15 This Week on ABC, a panel with Waters, Senators Lindsey Graham and Chuck Schumer, plus Congressman Peter King:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: A lot of economists now saying that what is really -- could be needed is bite the bullet nationalization. Nouriel Roubini, one of the men who saw the crisis coming said nationalization's the answer in today's Washington Post. President Obama says no.
(Obama's comment on nationalizing banks was prompted by ABC reporter Terry Moran's question: "There are a lot of economists who look at these banks and they say all that garbage that's in them renders them essentially insolvent. Why not just nationalize the banks?" That exchange aired on Tuesday's Nightline. More in the February 11 CyberAlert item, "ABC's Moran: Obama 'Too Nice,' Empathizes: 'You Got No Honeymoon,'" at: www.mrc.org )
From the roundtable:
COKIE ROBERTS: And the extension of unemployment benefits. The extension of health care for the unemployed. The addition to Medicaid for the states. All of that is just money on the table immediately. And I just think that when you're in a situation like this, to do nothing is so irresponsible that you can't, you can't get away with it.
CNN's Anderson Cooper: Has Insurgent
[This item, by the MRC's Scott Whitlock, was posted Friday afternoon, with video, on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
A few minutes earlier, Cooper theorized about the possible GOP threat, speculating: "But, do developments today also speak to something deeper, a war, an insurgency by Republicans against the President, against Democrats in the House and against their agenda?"
Talking to reporter Ed Henry earlier in the hour, Cooper complained about the timing of Gregg's announcement. "I mean, this guy [Gregg] held a press conference when the President was just about to make a big speech, kind of upstaging him. How annoyed is the White House by all of this," he queried.
Cooper promoted his war concept throughout the show. At the beginning of the program, he asked if it was "all out war." Later, he darkly suggested: "The larger question raised by Gregg's about-face, is it a sign that Republicans have no desire for real bipartisanship? Have they, in fact, declared war on President Obama?"
In yet another piece on the subject, reporter Tom Foreman asserted that Republicans have "startled political analysts by launching vigorous assaults on his [Obama's] initiatives."
To be fair, there was some speculation as to how much blame Obama deserves for this latest political problem. Reporter Henry noted that the administration built up the cabinet position, in terms of its importance. He observed, "Now he [Gregg] pulls out. And so it's almost like they have created the controversy a little bit, because they have really built up a job that previously was not that big of a deal."
Stephen Hayes, of the conservative Weekly Standard, was also featured in a brief soundbite. He, too, dismissed the concept: "It's just the opposite. I think, actually, Republicans are being very careful right now not to declare war on Obama." But, for the most part, Cooper seemed far more concerned over whether or not the Republicans were fighting an insurgent war against Obama.
A partial transcript of the February 12 show:
COOPER: The larger question raised by Gregg's about-face, is it a sign that Republicans have no desire for real bipartisanship? Have they, in fact, declared war on President Obama? Republican Congressman Pete Sessions suggested they learn from the Taliban a while back and operate as insurgents against the Democrats. Blogger Andrew Sullivan today suggested the war against Mr. Obama is real. Republicans, he wrote, want failure. You can decide for yourself if that theory makes sense. Some facts now from Tom Foreman.
Network Morning Shows Mostly Ignore Gregg
CBS's Early Show and ABC's Good Morning America on Friday almost entirely ignored the embarrassing departure of yet another of Barack Obama's cabinet nominees, with only NBC's Today providing any real information on the event. GMA devoted a scant 15 seconds to the withdrawal of Republican Senator Judd Gregg as the President's second nominee for Commerce Secretary. (Previous choice Bill Richards dropped out for tax reasons.) Instead, the networks included segments on aphrodisiacs for Valentine's Day and how to make a flour-less chocolate cake.
Early Show doubled ABC, managing a still insignificant 30 second anchor brief. NBC's Today actually featured a full report and had the most coverage, three minutes and 21 seconds. Out of a combined eight hours of programming, the total for all three came to only four minutes and six seconds. None of the coverage made any mention of Senator Gregg's opposition to the Obama administration's goal of moving the 2010 census count from the Commerce Department to the White House. (The census issue was mostly ignored on Thursday's evening news programs as well. For more, see a February 13 CyberAlert posting: www.mrc.org )
[This item, by the MRC's Scott Whitlock, was posted Friday afternoon on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
Now, obviously, much of the networks' coverage revolved around the tragic plane crash that occurred in New York on Thursday night. But, that doesn't fully explain the lack of reporting. A sampling of Good Morning America's other stories included one on how to make affordable, romantic Valentine's Day meals. (Sam Champion created a flourless chocolate cake with cook Emeril Lagasse.) Barry Manilow also performed and a full segment was devoted to cute stories of how couples met. In total, GMA provided 23 minutes of coverage to frivolous topics, compared to their 15 seconds for the Gregg story. On The Early Show, the CBS program touted what foods could be aphrodisiacs for Valentine's Day.
On ABC, guest news anchor Bianna Golodryga vaguely asserted that Gregg stepped aside because of "conflicts with President Obama's policies." Over on The Early Show, Russ Mitchell simply proclaimed, "The New Hampshire Republican said he cannot support Mr. Obama's economic stimulus plan." Lester Holt, during a Today show news brief, cited "differences." In the program's full report, reporter Savannah Guthrie mentioned "irresolvable differences over policy." To repeat, none of the journalists specifically mentioned Gregg's opposition to the moving of the 2010 census from the Commerce Department to the White House.

Bill Maher on the U.S.: 'It's Still Not
Despite the election of President Obama, Bill Maher is still not happy with his native land, due to the lack of belief in evolution. He voiced his disapproval on Thursday evening's Larry King Live: "I read the other day, I think only four in 10 Americans believe in evolution. It's still not a very bright country, Larry." He later compared Sarah Palin to former American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar: "She's like a reality show contestant who just lost, and they're always like, you know, you haven't heard the end of me. I'm not going. Yes, you are, Sanjaya. Good bye, bye-bye."
Maher's criticism of his fellow citizens came three minutes into the 9 pm Eastern hour CNN program. King had asked him about the President's first weeks in office and the proposed economic stimulus package. Despite the Obama administration's various problems, Maher defended the President as "learning" and that "he certainly is the smartest guy we've had there that I can remember." He also stated that the tax cuts that are part of the proposal "really are not stimulus." The host then asked Maher: "Do you think he's [Obama] going to solve this economic problem?" The comedian replied, "Well, he can't personally solve anything....I mean this is a mess like -- and I don't think they're telling us really how -- how bad it is. I think that's why Geithner was so vague the other day when he presented his plan, because I think he just didn't want to say it's even worse, because I think there would be more of a panic than there is."
[This item, by the MRC's Matthew Balan, was posted Friday afternoon, on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
The evolution issue came up when King followed-up by asking if Maher thought the economic siutation was worse than presently believed:
KING: You think it's worse than it is?
More than a half-hour later, the CNN host brought up Governor Palin. As you might expect, Maher had an opinion on the matter:
KING: And is Sarah Palin going to be a force?
On the other hand, Maher also had some criticism of Palin's opponent, Vice President Biden. Earlier in the program, he told Biden to "shut up -- you don't always have to be voicing your interior monologue." King also brought up Biden after the two discussed the Alaska governor. Despite King's defense of the former Delaware senator ("You want someone who speaks his mind" and "Joe has been doing that all his entire career"), Maher repeated his "shut up" advice: "Well, as I mentioned a few minutes ago, he needs to, you know, not always speak his mind."
FX's 'Rescue Me' Will Push 9/11 'Inside
"A coming episode of the acclaimed FX drama Rescue Me will tackle what may sound like a far-fetched plot line: that the attacks of Sept. 11 were an 'inside job,'" Brian Stelter reported in the New York Times, noting the ludicrous plot "may represent the first fictional presentation of 9/11 conspiracy theories by a mainstream media company (FX is operated by the News Corporation)." Actor Daniel Sunjata (IMDB page), who plays New York City firefighter "Franco Rivera" -- and who in a photo with the Times story sported a shirt emblazoned "INVESTIGATE 9/11" -- "predicted that the episode would be 'socio-politically provocative.'"
In the episode, the second in the new season starting in April, "Mr. Sunjata's character delivers a two-minute monologue for a French journalist describing a 'neoconservative government effort' to control the world's oil, drastically increase military spending and 'change the definition of pre-emptive attack.' To put it into action, he continues, 'what you need is a new Pearl Harbor. That's what they said they needed.'" Now that's some crazy paranoia.
Left-wing actor/comedian Denis Leary created Rescue Me in which he stars as New York City firefighter "Tommy Gavin." A promo for the new season gives you a flavor of the series in this exchange between "Tommy Gavin" and his teenage daughter "Colleen" as he offers his fatherly advise about another firefighter:
DAUGHTER COLLEEN: Are you actually telling me to have sex with Sean?
[This item, by the MRC's Brent Baker, was posted Saturday on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
More from the short February 2 New York Times article, "The Political Suspicions of 9/11," by Brian Stelter:
....Mr. Sunjata surprised some of the TV reporters when he said that he "absolutely, 100 percent" supports the assertion that "9/11 was an inside job."
The alternative theories "seem to me to make a lot more sense than the ones that are popularly espoused," he said, calling it admirable that the conversation was allowed within "Rescue Me."
Peter Tolan, an executive producer, said Mr. Sunjata is "well read" and has "done a lot of research."
"Look, obviously not all of us buy in," he told reporters. "But we went: 'Wow, that's interesting, and he's passionate about it. Let's use that.'"...

A 31-year-old man was sentenced Jan. 29 in Anoka County District Court to 180 days in jail for pointing a gun at another man.
Luke William Dobrava of Andover had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of second-degree assault Oct. 14, 2013. He was first arraigned back in October 2012.
In addition to the jail sentence, Dobrava will be on probation for the next seven years. He cannot have any contact with the victim and he must go through anger management classes as recommended by the Minnesota Department of Corrections. He cannot consume alcohol or possess any firearms. He must maintain employment or be in educational programming. He was also fined $200.
According to the criminal complaint, Dobrava sometime after 2 a.m. on Sept. 30, 2012 went to the Ham Lake home of his girlfriend's brother and asked him to apologize to her for something that had taken place between them years ago.
Dobrava pulled out a handgun and pointed it at him when he refused to apologize. The two wrestled over the gun before Dobrava put the gun in his back waist band. The other man went into the bathroom and called 911 and Dobrava left the home.
Authorities later arrested Dobrava without incident at his Andover home. An Anoka County District Court judge signed a search warrant and police found a handgun under the futon bed in the living room.

Texas Stars win Game 5 in OT and take Calder Cup Championship
Here is the press release:
ST. JOHN'S, NFLD - Patrik Nemeth scored the game-winning goal at 14:30 of the first overtime to lift the Texas Stars to a 4-3 win over the St. John's IceCaps in Game 5 to capture the 2014 Calder Cup Championship on Tuesday night at Mile One Centre. Travis Morin, the AHL's regular season most-valuable player, was named the 2014 Calder Cup Playoff MVP.
The two teams battled to a near-stalemate through much of the first period as both goaltenders handled the limited shots thrown their way. However, the Stars struck the first blow with just 68 seconds left in the frame. Cameron Gaunce sent a long pass up the right side to Brett Ritchie, who gained the line and laid the puck off to Mike Hedden, who slashed through the IceCaps defense and then made a sensational backhand-to-forehand more and snapped the puck over the glove of Michael Hutchinson and into the top left corner of the net. The goal was Hedden's eighth of the playoffs.
Things continued to go the Stars' way early in the second period. Ritchie doubled the Texas lead at 4:59 of the middle frame when he took a shot from the high slot and the puck eluded the blocker of Hutchinson and found the net. It was Ritchie's seventh goal of the playoffs, scoring for the third straight game, and was assisted by Gaunce, his second point of the night. The IceCaps turned the momentum in their favor at 11:06 as defenseman Jordan Hill threw a wrist shot towards the net and the puck found an opening with heavy screens in front of Cristopher Nilstorp and went it. Six minutes later Josh Lunden redirected a cross-ice pass from Zach Redmond into the net to tie the game at two, leveling the score with 3:02 left in the period.
At 6:33 of the third period, Blair Riley intercepted a cross-ice pass by Jamie Oleksiak in the Texas zone and quickly snapped a shot over the blocker of Nilstorp to give St. John's a 3-2 lead, the team's first of the game. However, the Stars fought back and tied the game at 13:26 as Justin Dowling's centering feed was deflected off the glove of Hedden and into the net. It was Hedden's second goal of the night, his ninth of the playoffs, and was assisted by Dowling and Gaunce, who picked up his third helper of the night.
The overtime session featured wild back-and-forth action as both teams searched for the winning goal. Oleksiak nearly atoned for his third period giveaway when he rang a wrist shot from the right circle off the near post. Both Nilstorp and Hutchinson came up with dazzling saves, keeping the fans clinging to the end of their seats. Then, with 5:30 left in the first overtime, Morin sent a pass up the middle for defenseman Patrik Nemeth. The blueliner made a skillful toe-drag around one defender and the ripped a backhand shot into the top left corner of the net, winning the game and the Calder Cup Trophy for the Texas Stars.
Cristopher Nilstorp (13-5) finished the game with 33 saves on 36 shots to earn his Calder Cup Playoff-leading 13th victory in goal for Texas. Michael Hutchinson (12-9) had 41 saves on 45 shots and suffered the hard-luck loss in goal for St. John's. The Stars out-shot the IceCaps 45-36 and both teams went 0-for-2 on the power play.
Texas Stars will now enjoy a very well deserved, although abbreviated, off-season and will prepare to defend their 2014 Calder Cup championship. Texas Stars season ticket packages for the 2014-15 season are on sale now. For more information, call (512) GO-STARS (467-8277) or visit www.TexasStarsHockey.com.
Here is the release from the Dallas Stars:
FRISCO, Texas - The Texas Stars, Dallas' development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL), claimed their franchise's first Calder Cup Trophy as the victors of the Calder Cup Playoffs Tuesday night by defeating the St. John's Ice Caps by a final score of 4-3 in overtime in their fifth game of the series (won series 4-1).
"One of the trademarks of an elite organization is their ability to train and develop players in a winning environment," said Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill. "The Texas Stars have done a great job with all of these facets this season and I know firsthand that the rewards from winning the Calder Cup will have a profoundly positive impact for each of our prospects and our team in Dallas as we move forward. We congratulate Scott White, as well as Willie Desjardins, the players and the rest of the Texas Stars staff for an outstanding season."

Chick Trophy as the West Division Champions.

College of the Redwoods will reopen Friday following a bomb threat on a student's Facebook that shut down the campus this morning.
CR spokesman Paul DeMark said a thorough search of the campus conducted by staff and various public safety agencies -- including the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, Cal Fire, the Eureka Police Department and Humboldt Bay Fire -- has been completed and nothing out of the ordinary was found.
"Their search went extremely well," DeMark said. "CR staff, along with emergency personnel, went through all of the campus' buildings and didn't find anything suspicious. We feel that the campus is safe for students to return."
The roughly 135 students living on campus -- who were transported to a Eureka middle school at 6 a.m. this morning -- are set to return to their dorms late this afternoon or early this evening, DeMark said.
According to Sheriff's Office Lt. Steve Knight, the bomb threat first appeared on the Facebook page of a CR student. The student called the sheriff's office to report the threat shortly after midnight, stating that the Facebook account had been hacked. The sheriff's office notified campus officials, who made the decision to evacuate and close the campus.
"We are actively looking for the perpetrator of this bomb threat that was posted on the Internet," Knight said. "You know, it really is a concern today with what has been going on recently in Boston. This is really unfortunate that this is going on."
CR President Kathryn Smith said the safety of students and staff were the campus' first concern
"If it is a threat to the campus, we want to take care of that, in the event that it is a serious and credible threat," she said.
Officials turned away a steady stream of students and staff arriving in the morning.
College of the Redwoods math professor Todd Olsen said he was shocked to hear the campus was closed due to a bomb threat when he arrived just before 9:30 a.m. to teach a lab class.
"I've been teaching here since 1993, and I've never seen anything like this," he said. "You just never think something like this could happen."
Olsen said he was grateful campus officials reacted quickly to the threat.
"It's reassuring," he said. "This is absolutely what needs to happen in a situation like this."
The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity to call the sheriff's office at 445-7251 or the sheriff's office crime tip line at 268-2539.

A first innings 55 by Japen Patel boosted USA after an early wobble to get them to 138 for 7 which wound up being enough to beat Bermuda by 30 runs on Sunday at Brian Piccolo Park in Cooper City, Florida.

Scorecard powered by New Inning Foundation
A first innings 55 by Japen Patel boosted USA after an early wobble to get them to 138 for 7 which wound up being enough to beat Bermuda by 30 runs on Sunday at Brian Piccolo Park in Cooper City, Florida. USA swept the three-match Twenty20 practice series between the two sides and will now have a few weeks off before heading to the UAE next month for the 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier from November 15-30.
USA won the toss and elected to bat for the second day in a row, bringing Patel and Adil Bhatti into the squad for the final match in which USA used 16 players. Two days removed from recording a half-century for USA in an eight-wicket win, Fahad Babar was out first ball of the match, LBW to Kamal Bashir. Akeem Dodson departed seven balls later for 7, caught by Bermuda captain Janeiro Tucker off Derrick Brangman to make it 13 for 2.
Patel joined Massiah and the pair managed to take USA through the rest of the power play overs at a steady pace with each player hitting only one boundary in the first six overs. Massiah lasted until the ninth before he was removed for 24 by Jacobi Robinson to make it 57 for 3. Orlando Baker entered at five and managed just 7 off 14 balls before being bowled by Tucker to make it 68 for 4.
Karan Ganesh entered and provided USA with another efficient knock, scoring 24 not out off 22 balls. Although he went without a boundary, Ganesh only had six dot balls and turned over the strike regularly to get the set batsman Patel as many opportunities to score as possible. The pair added 44 for the fifth wicket, with Patel teeing off on Tucker and Malachi Jones in the 15th and 16th overs for a pair of sixes. He brought up his 50 in 41 balls with a two off Tucker in the 17th but fell four balls later on the third ball of the 18th to Jones, caught by Christopher Douglas to make it 112 for 5.
Steven Taylor came in at number seven but couldn't provide a late flourish, lasting just five balls for his 6 before getting out to Bashir in the 19th. Srinivasa Santhanam was the last man to go, run out for 2 off the final ball of the innings trying to stretch a two into three for Ganesh. Bashir was the only bowler to claim two wickets for Bermuda but went for 37 runs in his four overs. Robinson was the most economical bowler for his side, finishing with 1 for 19 in four.
Douglas opened the batting for Bermuda and was the only player to get more than 10 in what was another dim performance on the batting side for the visitors. He made 30 in 28 balls and was one of only two players, along with Robinson, who was able to reach the boundary. Lionel Cann opened with Douglas but the 41-year-old stayed for just five balls before he was out to Adam Sanford for 4. Tre Manders was dismissed three balls later for 2 to make it 14 for 2 halfway through the third over of the chase.
Tucker reached 10 before he was bowled by Danial Ahmed to make it 44 for 3. Douglas was eventually removed by McGarrell in the 10th to make it 57 for 4. Terryn Fray was runout for 2 in the 11th and when McGarrell claimed Jones for 8 in the 14th to make it 67 for 6, Bermuda was well on their way to another defeat.
Robinson struck a four and a six on his way to 17 before Sanford bowled him to end the 16th at 91 for 7. Brangman was Sanford's third wicket, out for 7 to make it 101 for 8 in the 18th before two men were run out to end the match, Dion Stovell for 7 and Brian Hall for 3, as Bermuda was all out for 108 in 19.4 overs. Sanford finished with USA's best figures taking 3 for 16 in four while McGarrell took 2 for 17 in three overs.
USA is expected to announce their official 15-man squad for the 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier on Monday. They used 16 players during the trial series against Bermuda, so one player who was in the Florida squad this weekend will miss out on the final 15 to go to the UAE. USA will be placed in Group A at the 16-team event alongside Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Namibia, Uganda and the UAE.

text: I would suggest before storing them that you fully charge them! I had a pair of motorola s305 stereo bluetooth headphones and blew out one of the speakers. I set them aside till I got around to replacing the speaker and forgot to periodically charge them. When I went to fix and charge them 4 months later, the battery would not take a charge. Some batteries are funky like that, it's hit or miss. Some batteries cannot be allowed to remain uncharged for extended periods of time and this includes phone batteries. I had the same thing happen on a droid x, I left the battery in and stored the phone for a couple of months, next thing you know I went to use it and the battery was puffed up! This isn't a well known issue, it took me hours to find this info on google back a few months ago when that happened to my droid x. Better to be safe than sorry. Just charge your headphones once in a while when not in use and when it comes to smartphones, charge the battery and remove it from the phone before storage, if your phone has a removable battery. If your phone does not have a removable battery and you want to store it, just be sure to charge ot once in awhile, maybe at least once a month. I realize most times things will be fine because I have stored things in the past like headphones and phones without charging and they were fine when I went to use them. It's just better to be safe than sorry. It could be a motorola thing.

Coast Guard rescues 10 near Bald Head Island
Posted July 25, 2014
Oak Island, N.C. — The U.S. Coast Guard rescued 10 people from a 22-foot pontoon boat that started taking on water southeast of Bald Head Island on Friday morning.
One of the boaters fell into the water, but they were all in good health, the Coast Guard said in a news release.
The boaters were trying to cross the Cape Fear River entrance about 10: 40 a.m. when the vessel was slammed by waves. Witnesses notified the Coast Guard, which had crews training in the area.
The boaters were taken to Station Oak Island while the Coast Guard crew pumped water from the pontoon boat and towed it to the station.
"The Coast Guard would like to remind mariners to wear a life jacket and to check the weather and tides prior to their departure from port and to plan accordingly," Senior Chief Petty Officer Anthony Kannan said in a statement.

Went to ballfields yesterday for first time since the reopening. lines for pupusas and huaraches were very long - 20-30 deep. Fortunately they were short for the ceviche, which was what I'd come for.
Today I went to the flea market. No line at all for pupusas! Two dollar sandia juice! Maybe five deep for huaraches! Plus cookies, popsicles and all kind of dessert items. If only the ceviche place would open up at the Flea - my happiness would be complete.
It might actually be quicker to buy your food at the flea market and hop the G to the ballfields if you must eat on grass.
Side note - Le Toukelour (sp?) set up a mini-restaurant at the flea today - full meals for under 10 dollars. looking good!

ARCHIVISTS are seeking the identity of a First World War nurse who compiled a moving pictorial record of the days when the First Duke of Westminster's palatial mansion served as a hospital for wounded troops.
An album of 300-plus photos depicting nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic splendour of Eaton's Waterhouse Hall was acquired by archivists from a Chester book shop in 1979.
It shows Eaton's cavernous drawing and dining rooms – still containing fine paintings – transformed into wards for injured servicemen, many of whom lost limbs in the war.
Among the volunteer and professional nursing staff helping to run the war hospital was Lady Arthur Grosvenor, daughter-in-law to the First Duke of Westminster.
As his home doubled as a hospital for wounded heroes, the Second Duke, known as Bend'Or, was pursuing a distinguished military career with the Cheshire Yeomanry in Egypt. He had converted his Rolls Royce into a prototype armoured car and won the DSO by leading the regiment's armoured fleet in a 120-mile dash across the desert to rescue the captured crew of HMS Tara from Senussi tribesmen.
While several of the album pictures – dated 1914-17 – show its creator in her nursing uniform, many are captioned simply with the word 'Self'.
"The album is a wonderfully evocative record of times when the country stood together to face the horrific results of the greatest conflict the world has ever known," said archivist Liz Green.
"While many of the soldiers and fellow nurses are named, it gives no clues to 'Self's' identity – apart from one associated shot of her in a garden at Churton, which may or may not be her home.
"We are hoping her photograph will be recognised by descendants who will be able to provide information to bring added meaning to the album she so painstakingly created."
The Eaton war hospital album will play an important part in the ongoing exhibitions held by Cheshire Record Office to mark the centenary of the Great War.
It can also be seen at the Chester Library Poetry workshop on Thursday, June 5.
Anyone who believes they may be able to help with 'Self's' identity should call the Cheshire Record Office on 01244 972574 or visit archives.cheshire.gov.uk
Eaton Hall was an all-ranks hospital from 1914, run by a Voluntary Aid Detachment.
In 1917, under a tenancy agreement with the War Office, it became a hospital for officers.

Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane recently told Jim Bowden of ESPN's "GM's Office" video blog that the he hopes the team is still active in the trade market prior to the July 31 deadline but what move could be made to make a already deep team, deeper?
The Oakland A's might have one of the league's most potent offenses so far this season but they have gotten little production from the second base position. While clubs don't normally rely a great deal of offensive production from their second basemen, they have been a relative non-factor Oakland in 2014.
[The last wrinkle in the Oakland A's starting rotation]
In the regular season such holes can be masked, especially with a line-up as deep as the A's but come the playoffs those gaps begin to be exposed by facing the league's best pitchers on a daily basis.
Nick Punto always seems to be on winning ball clubs and he has been a great role player for A's this season but when Punto is at his best he is just that, a platoon player, not an everyday guy.
After going 13-for-35 (.371) in his first 10 games back from the paternity list, veteran infielder Alberto Callaspo has cooled down as of late going 6-for-33 (.182) in his last ten games. Callaspo was sidelined with a strained right hamstring, trying to beat out a ground ball in Friday night's loss to Seattle. The injury does not appear to be serious but Callaspo was placed on the 15-day DL. Much like Punto, Callaspo would be much more valuable to the A's as a platoon player.
Due to Callaspo's emergence Eric Sogard has seen his playing time significantly diminish. Sogard is hitting a puny .194 and his roster spot may be in jeopardy with the return of Josh Reddick from the DL.
Combined Oakland A's second baseman are hitting only .212 with 51 RBI's and 4 home-runs so far this season but those struggles have yet to impact the club's offense as a whole in 2014. However, in the playoffs offensive deficiencies are magnified by good pitching and the A's can expect the lack of production from second base to manifest itself eventually.
There are legitimate options for the A's front office to pursue prior to the deadline but a significant upgrade will cost the club another piece of its future.
Either Ben Zobrist of the Rays or Daniel Murphy of the Mets would be the best available options for the front office to consider. Zobrist is a veteran with an expiring contract and he would provide the A's with a reliable every day second baseman, that has plenty of playoff experience. Murphy, on the other hand, has no playoff experience but he has been very productive in 2014, hitting .297 with 37 RBI's and 7 home-runs.
With several teams interested in Murphy and Zobrist, the price tag will be steep but the recent acquisitions of Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel has shown the Oakland A's are all in to win in 2014.
Like the addition of Samardzija and Hammels provided the pitching staff depth, the addition of either Zobrist or Murphy would give the Oakland A's offense another level of depth, allowing both Punto and Callaspo to settle into and flourish in more comfortable roles a complimentary players.

TEL AVIV (Jan. 5)
Cesar Yaacov Douek, an Egyptian Jew who hid in a cellar for 22 years, died in Cairo Sunday at the age of 82, Israel Radio reported.
Douek went into hiding in 1957 when then Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser ordered Jews expelled from Egypt in the aftermath of the Sinai campaign. He concealed himself in the cellar of his sister's house. She had married an Egyptian attorney and converted to the Moslem faith.
Douek emerged rom hiding when the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty was signed in 1979. But he rarely left the house after that because of advanced age.

Waterfront resort marks a milestone

Please Help! Rubicon express sway bar link
Hello everyone! I came to this forum is search of some help from fellow jeepsters. Recently i installed a 4.5 inch lift rubicon express kit. The other day i decided to put some spacers in the front to level the car out. I was driving and for the past 3 days i kept hearing a clunk in the passenger side. today i noticed that the sway bar link pin is gone and was causing the link to slide in and out of the bracket! Does anyone know any way to replace it being its the 4th of july and no ones open! Thanks :thumbsup:
No clue here but, you could goto the hardware store and get an assortment and just return what didn't fit. Also call Rubicon Express and they could tell you what to get to replace it. Might have to wait till Monday. Good luck.
Now might be a good time to ditch the whole factory sway bar and install a Currie Antirock system. When I put my Rubion Express lift on my TJ (3.5" superflex) I didn't even bother with the swaybar links - I sold them new and put the money towards the Antirock.
Are these what your looking for?
Similiar, the ones i was looking for are called linch pins. I would drive without my front sway bar links but i do so much highway driving and im scared to do so. Thanks guys
Drove without a sway bar for about 60mi. Truly not as bad as I thought. It does gain a ton of body roll and if you must swerve it could get ugly. IMO perfectly fine to do for short distance. Would not advise for a dd. Luckly my jeep is not a dd.
Plus, I bought new pins for my RE lift at home depot.
Yeah i went to home depot to look for the lycnh pins and they had but were too big. I just drove on the highway and wasn;t and bad as i thought it would be. Im just confused on how that pin slipped out or got stolen. :confused:
To be honest I got tired of fussing with my sway bar links and now my jeep is 10 pounds lighter without the sway bar hardware:-)

Great blog from Jim Sinur at Gartner talking about Transport Management Centre (TMC) a government agency in New South Wales, Australia.
This agency has done remarkable things using Pega to intelligently automate the operations of managing traffic flow and incident management. As Jim writes in the blog, the agency covers roads, rail, busses, ferries, and heavy vehicles, with traffic controllers working around the clock. Using Pega, TMC built its FMS or Fault Manage Service, a foundation they can grow on, to monitor and respond to over 20,000 devices, including variable message signs, variable speed limit signs, traffic signals and monitoring. In an event driven world we have to work smarter than ever before, and that's what TMC has done, using business rules to automate prioritization and escalation to ensure rapid response to the event that matter most first. Managing the process flow to technicians so they work as expeditiously as possible makes obvious sense but when you have an accident on the Sydney Harbor Bridge at rush hour (which I have climbed by the way ) it helps to have an intelligent business process management system helping you to dynamically prioritize and respond!
Thanks to TMC representative Robert Peake for speaking about this amazing success at the Gartner BPM Summit in Sydney, Australia last month. The team gave credit to Pega's agile methodology and tools but the real credit is to them. It is great to see a solution as important as this delivering real business value in just four (4) months!

Roberts and Co are Wales number 1 estate agents boasting a multi branch agency covering mid to South Wales
It seemed to be the best option for us at the time and for the future.
Starting with just one office, we have now adopted Dezrez across our network of branches. We looked at several other agency software solutions, but dezrez is the only one that would grow and adapt with us. No need to do the hard work, it does it all for you! Dezrez is so comprehensive, we are still only scraping the surface of what it can do for us and how it can help streamline our in-house day-to-day functions. It is so easy to pick-up and navigate, but the support staff are always there to help out – Their patience and helpfulness would appear to be limitless! The software is being constantly updated to keep up & sometimes ahead of new technology, which means we don't have to worry about keeping track of new developments ourselves. We would not hesitate to recommend Dezrez to anyone.

The number of major breaches of protected health information occurring in 2012 increased by more than 21 percent compared with the previous year, but there was a 77 percent decrease in the number of affected patients. And breaches by business associates historically affect five times more patient records than breaches at covered entities.
Those are just some of many good nuggets of information in the 3rd Breach Report/Protected Health Information from security testing and auditing firm Redspin Inc. Since August 2009, for instance, 538 breaches each affecting at least 500 patients have been reported to the HHS Office for Civil Rights, and the breaches total 21.4 million patient records. Other stats from 2012: two-thirds of major breaches result from theft or loss, 38 percent of breaches come from unencrypted laptops and other portable devices, and 57 percent involve a business associate.

Wth games to come against Torino, Palermo, Atalanta, Cagliari and Sampdoria, it would take something truly catastrophic to prevent Juventus from retaining the Serie A title. As for Milan, they remain in third place but Fiorentina's victory against Torino earlier today means that Allegri's side are in the final Champions League spot courtesy of only a solitary point. Thanks for joining me, Max Bentley, on this Goal.com live commentary. Make sure to check out the match report, reaction and player ratings. Until next time, goodbye!
FULL TIME: JUVENTUS 1-0 MILAN. Arturo Vidal's second half penalty inches the Bianconeri closer to a record 29th Scudetto title. In truth, the game lacked the typical excitement and quality that this fixture normally offers but Juventus supporters will hardly care as they now require only four points from their remaining five matches. Milan's 14-game unbeaten streak in 2013 comes to a halt.
90' + 2'SubstitutionKwadwo Asamoah Federico Peluso
Another change for Juventus as Kwadwo Asamoah, who won the Juventus penalty, is replaced by Federico Peluso. I'd be surprised if he had time to get a touch.
90' + 2'Allegri will be really disappointed with the lack of attacking threat his side have posed in this second half. El Shaarawy and Pazzini have been anonymous.
90'SubstitutionMirko Vučinić Fabio Quagliarella
Mirko Vucinic has not got his goal today and the Montenegrin is replaced for the dying moments by Fabio Quagliarella.
89'CHANCE FOR MILAN! Pazzini prevents Montolivo's fierce free kick from going behind but Mexes can only send the ball wide of the target courtesy of a slight deflection off Bonucci.
88'Juventus are just looking to see this game out now and they slow down the tempo with a lengthy spell of possession. It seems another substitution is imminent as well.
86'Constant finds Montolivo in space 30 yards from goal and the midfielder forces his international colleague Buffon into a smart stop from his swerving strike. Time running out for Milan to extend their unbeaten record in 2013.
84'Tempers starting to flare on the touchline here as Luca Banti comes across to talk to Massimiliano Allegri. It seems the Milan coach was unhappy with a tackle from Chiellini.
83'Juventus look to wrap things up when Pogba tries to play a clever reverse pass behind the Milan defence for Marchisio, but Mexes reads the danger expertly to make the interception.
81'SubstitutionStephan Lichtsteiner Simone Padoin
Juventus make their first substitution of the game with Simone Padoin replacing Stephan Lichtsteiner. Some fresh legs to counter the threat of Constant down the left.
81'Juventus are pinned back deep into their own half at the moment but Milan are really struggling to find that killer pass. Antonio Conte's side are set to go 11 points clear of Napoli as things stand.
79'Constant advances from left-back again and this time he sends a much better cross into the box, but Bonucci rises above Boateng to clear the danger.
77'Kevin Constant does well to trick his way past Lichtsteiner but his cross into the box is overhit and the move breaks down. 13 minutes remaining for Milan to find an equaliser.
75'Milan suddenly seem to have more urgency and Muntari unleashes a left-footed effort from the edge of the box which is well held by Buffon.
73'Boateng capitalises on a Chiellini slip to get in down the right but the Ghanaian cannot pick out a black and red jersey with his low cross and Bonucci hoofs the ball upfield.
71'Yellow Card Philippe Mexes
Philippe Mexes picks up his 16th Serie A caution of the season for obstructing Vucinic.
71'SubstitutionRobinho Bojan Krkic
Allegri decides to make his final change and unsurprisingly Robinho is withdrawn in place of Bojan. Can the Spaniard inspire the Rossoneri to an equaliser?
70'Milan's vulnerability from corners is exposed again when Bonucci latches onto Pirlo's delivery at the back post, but his volley is well saved by Amelia.
69'Juventus are pushing for a second here and Pirlo's corner causes chaos in the Milan box but it won't quite fall for Chiellini and Abate hacks the ball clear.
68'FANTASTIC MOVE FROM JUVENTUS! Pirlo starts it off with a sublime long ball to Pogba, who in turn finds Vucinic, and the Montenegrin is denied a goal when his fierce effort is blocked at the last moment by Mexes.
66'Yellow Card Cristian Zapata
Zapata is the second name taken in Luca Banti's notebook after a foul on Vucinic. The Colombian defender will now be suspended for Milan's next match.
65'Milan have offered very little threat going forward in the second half and both Robinho and El Shaarawy have struggled to get on the ball. With one more substitution at his disposal, surely Allegri will decide to make a move soon.
63'Pirlo delivers an outswinging corner into the Milan box and Pogba rises highest to narrowly nod over the bar.
61'Is Milan's 14-game unbeaten streak set to come to an end? They have just under half an hour to find an equaliser.
60'Juventus attempt to double the lead when Pirlo finds space outside the box, but his speculative effort swerves comfortably wide of Amelia's goal.
58'If the scoreline stays the same, Juventus will only need four points from their remaining five games to retain the league title.
57'Penalty Goal Arturo Vidal
1-0 JUVENTUS! The Bianconeri move closer to a 29th Scudetto title when Arturo Vidal smashes a crucial penalty into the top right-hand corner. Great penalty from the Chilean.
57'Yellow Card Marco Amelia
PENALTY FOR JUVENTUS! Amelia and Abate are involved in a mix-up when neither is sure who should clear and Asamoah accepts the invitation to nip on before being felled by the substitute goalkeeper.
55'Ten minutes into the second half and although both sides have shown attacking promise, neither goalkeeper has been forced into making a difficult save.
53'Juventus nearly cut Milan open when Vidal sends a dicing pass between the centre-backs, but Zapata does brilliantly to outmuscle Vucinic and allows Amelia to claim.
51'Moments after Boateng sends an effort wide, Milan attack again with Mexes and the Frenchman bursts forward from defence before forcing Buffon into a save with his low left-footed strike.
49'No Serie A team has done the double over Juventus in a season since Antonio Conte took charge. Can Milan become the first side to do so this evening?
48'Much better start to the second half from Juventus and Marchisio unleashes a stinging drive from outside the box which forces Amelia to make a smart stop down low to his right.
47'Early chance for Juventus as Chiellini meets Pirlo's corner with a thumping header, but it goes just over Amelia's crossbar.
46'SubstitutionMassimo Ambrosini Sulley Muntari
Milan make a half-time substitution with Sulley Muntari replacing Massimo Ambrosini, who picked up a knock just before the break.
In the past five Serie A seasons, Milan have racked up 365 points whilst Juventus have accumulated 345. Which team can snatch three more this evening? The second half awaits...
Milan enjoyed 62% of the possession in that first half. Will Conte be tempted to make a tactical change at the break or will he be happy to take a point? Let me know your thoughts and predictions via Twitter @MaxBentley1.
HALF TIME: Juventus 0-0 Milan. The visitors go into the dressing room the happier side after a comfortable opening 45 minutes in which they have looked the more likely in scoring. Antonio Conte will not be satisfied by the way in which his side have failed to hold on to possession and his players can certainly expect an earful at the break. Not too many chances to report of although Pirlo's deflected freekick which was well saved by Abbiati was the closest either side came to breaking the deadlock All level at the interval, all to play for in the second half.
45'Abate looks to get in behind Asamoah once again but the right-back is denied a one-on-one when Robinho's lazy pass is easily intercepted by the Ghanaian.
43'Pazzini is giving his best up front but Chiellini and Bonucci have done an excellent job in marshalling the 28-year-old so far. Can he be the man to turn this game in Milan's favour?
41'Juventus nearly unlock the Milan defence when Vucinic squeezes a ball through for Marchisio, but the Italian midfielder is denied a shot on goal by the linesman's flag. That was very close; good line from the Milan back four.
39'Not seen too much of Asamoah on the other wing however. The Ghanaian international has been forced to track the run of Abate on numerous occasions in this first half and has struggled to get forward.
38'Most of Juventus' attacking play is coming down the right and Lichtsteiner gets in behind Constant excellently but his dangerous cross towards the front post just evades the run of Vucinic.
36'Juventus are really struggling to get Pirlo on the ball here and it is Milan who are enjoying more of the possession. Can Allegri's side snatch a goal before the break?
34'In an attempt to volley Mexes' diagonal pass across goal, Pazzini's cross-come-shot forces Buffon to backpeddle and the Azzurri goalkeeper is relieved to see the ball loop onto the roof of the net.
32'Abate gets away down the right impressively once again and after Bonucci heads his cross towards the edge of the box, Boateng miskicks before Montolivo sends a strike high over the bar.
30'Half an hour gone at the Juventus Stadium but the deadlock is yet to be broken. Milan have perhaps shaded it but the best chance fell the way of Pirlo, when his deflected freekick was excellently saved by Abbiati. Will we see a goal before half time? Remember that you can let me know your thoughts and predictions via Twitter @MaxBentley1.
28'Pirlo lines up another freekick from outside the box, but Amelia is equal to it and makes a comfortable save.
27'Ignazio Abate is never shy of getting forward and the Italian right-back does fantastically to drive past Asamoah before his low cross into the box is flicked into the side netting by Robinho.
25'Massimo Ambrosini is fortunate to escape a booking when he catches Chiellini with a late challenge. Luca Banti reluctant to get his cards out so far.
24'Milan are certainly not afraid to shoot this evening and El Shaarawy looks to score only his third goal in 15 league games with a shot from distance, but Buffon gets down low to his right to comfortably claim.
22'Another wasted opportunity for Milan as Ambrosini seizes on a sloppy Pirlo pass, but the 35-year-old midfielder drags his left-footed effort wide of Buffon's goal.
20'Kevin Constant heads Pirlo's corner towards the edge of the box and it is met by a stinging drive from Asamoah which blazes wildly over the crossbar.
19'Milan's away form in Serie A reads W6, D7, L3 and they are undefeated in their last seven fixtures away from San Siro. Will the Juventus Stadium prove a happy hunting ground for Allegri's side this evening? Goalless after 19 minutes.
17'Juventus are growing into this game now. Lichtsteiner bursts down the right wing and his cross towards the back post is met on the volley acrobatically by Pogba, but the ball goes narrowly wide of the Amelia's goal.
15'SubstitutionChristian Abbiati Marco Amelia
Milan are forced into an early change when Christian Abbiati is replaced by Marco Amelia in goal. He appeared to have picked up an injury when saving from Pirlo's set-piece.
14'Mirko Vucinic is yet to have a sniff of goal but the Montenegrin striker is already causing Zapata problems with his physical playing style. Can he add to his 13-goal league tally this evening?
13'Massimo Ambrosini is one of the more unlikely players expected to get on the scoresheet and the Milan captain capitalises on a loose, bouncing ball in the Juventus final third before skewing a shot well wide of Buffon's goal.
11'Paul Pogba has scored some special goals this season and he looks to add to his collection when he lets fly from outside the box, but his strike blazes high over the crossbar. What a fantastic breakthrough season it has been for the 20-year-old Frenchman who made his international debut last month.
10'Incidentally, Abbiati has kept only ten clean sheets this season, about one in every three games. Elsewhere there is an early concern for Milan as Giampaolo Pazzini goes down and requires treatment.
8'GREAT SAVE FROM ABBIATI! Andrea Pirlo comes so close to scoring against his former club when his free kick takes a wicked deflection off the Milan wall, forcing the veteran goalkeeper to change the direction he was diving and make a fine fingertipped save.
6'Milan threaten again when Boateng switches the ball out to the left, but El Shaarawy's curling strike is comfortably saved by Buffon. Allegri will be pleased with how his side have started.
4'With six games to play, Juventus need only seven points to retain their Scudetto. You feel that it would take something truly remarkable to prevent Conte's side from winning a record 29th title.
3'Positive start from the visitors who are enjoying the lion's share of the possession in the early minutes.
2'Robinho is the first player to try his luck on goal, but his swerving effort flashes comfortably wide of Buffon's post. The Brazilian was the matchwinner when Milan triumphed 1-0 back in November.
1'Luca Banti blows the whistle and this Serie A contest gets underway...
Wonderful atmosphere here as captains Gianluigi Buffon and Massimo Ambrosini exchange handshakes. Splendid rainbow choreography from the home support. Both teams in their customary colours.
The Juventus youth team were crowned Primavera Coppa Italia winners with a 2-1 win over Napoli on Wednesday and those players parade the trophy around the stadium before kickoff.
Mario Balotelli is of course suspended for the visitors, despite seeing his three-match ban reduced on appeal. Can Pazzini fire Milan to a double over Juventus in his absence?
Since Milan beat Juventus 1-0 on November 25, no Serie A side has claimed more points that the Rossoneri. Allegri's side have accumulated 44 points from the following 19 matches, whilst the Old Lady have gained 42.
Massimiliano Allegri makes two changes to the side which drew 1-1 with Napoli. Leading goalscorer Stephan El Shaarawy is recalled to the starting lineup in place of Sulley Muntari, meaning that Kevin-Prince Boateng drops back into midfield. Mathieu Flamini's red card rules him out, meaning that Massimo Ambrosini is handed a start.
Juventus make only one change from the side which defeated Lazio 2-0 on Monday evening. Giorgio Chiellini returns from an ankle injury to replace Federico Peluso in the heart of defence. Andrea Pirlo starts against his former club, with top goalscorer Mirko Vucinic (13 goals) leading the line.
Milan (4-3-3):: Abbiati; Abate, Zapata, Mexes, Constant; Montolivo, Ambrosini, Boateng; Pazzini, El Shaarawy, Robinho.
JUVENTUS (3-5-1-1): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Marchisio; Vucinic.
Here are this evening's lineups, starting with the Bianconeri...
One of the fiercest rivalries in Serie A takes place as title-chasing Juventus host a Milan side who are yet to be defeated in the league this calendar year. There have been so many special moments between these two heavyweights and with so much at stake this evening, it's all set to be another classic. Can Juventus extend their eight-point lead over Napoli at the summit or will the Rossoneri continue their impressive push for Champions League qualification? Bringing you all the action from the Juventus Stadium, my name is Max Bentley. Feel free to let me know your thoughts and predictions on the match via Twitter @MaxBentley1.

|The Long Term Significance of Exercise Induced Ventricular Arrhythmias in Trained Athletes
|Brief Summary
|Athletes with complex ventricular arrhythmias are potentially at risk of sudden death. The aim of the study is to investigate the relevance of ventricular tachyarrhythmias induced by an exercise test in a retrospectively evaluated athletic population.
|Detailed Description
Athletes with complex ventricular arrhythmias are potentially at risk of sudden death. The risk is increased when the athletes are engaged in competitive activities.
Ventricular premature beats (VPB's) are a common finding in the athletic heart. In the majority of cases these arrhythmias are part of the "athlete's heart syndrome" and do not increase the risk of sudden death in the athletes with an apparently normal heart. The data available in the literature deal with ventricular arrhythmias assessed only by 24-h ambulatory electrocardiograms.
To date, there are no guidelines concerning athletes who develop ventricular arrhythmias during a stress test. It is unclear whether they should be allowed to continue with their competitive activity or they should be denied to do so. A study looking at the long term follow-up of these athletes will help us determine whether the development of ventricular arrhythmia during a stress test imposes any risk on the athletes.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hello fanda,
You can use a razor ( the kind you can buy at a hardware store that has a small handle on it ) and get the worst up . Then use a SCOTCH-BRITE pad with the range top cleaner - polish that comes in a bottle ( it's sold in most groceries now ) to get the rest. Don't overdo it with the razor as you don't want to sctatch the glass. Thanks for using justanswer.
OK fanda,
This might sound crazy but try using AVON SKIN-SO-SOFT , I know that it works great on glued on tape and glue residue. Lighter fluid is another thing that may work.

Although our school years started at the beginning of August, after a month then it is time for a pick me up and a little reminder. 🙂 ~Kelli
Setting an Example for a Successful School Year
Dr. Susan Bartell
I love the crisp notebooks and brand new, no-colors-missing boxes of colored pencils of the new school year. However, what I enjoy more than anything else is the feeling that this year is another chance for each child to start fresh—with a new teacher, additional friends and another opportunity to show herself that this will be the best year yet!
There are many ways to help your child have a successful year, but one of the most important is to consistently role model the 'tools' of success. You are one of your child's most important and best teachers. Therefore, you play a critical role in helping your child have a truly successful school year.
By taking the following suggestions to heart, I'm confident you will help your entire family have a successful year—let me know next summer!
- Be on time. Teachers request timeliness, but when parents regularly run late, it reinforces that this is okay. In fact, it sends the message that another's person's time (the one waiting for you) isn't as important as your own. So teach your child to be on time by living this way.
- Show effort. Of course, you tell your child to work her hardest. But, do you do so yourself? Whether you are completing a work project or cooking a meal, take pride in your own work because it is important feel good about what you have produced, and know that other people will appreciate your effort as well. Your efforts won't go unnoticed by your child.
- Plan ahead. The school year includes the completion of long-term assignments, each of which requires careful planning. Life has many of these long term "assignments' too. When planning vacations, work projects, home renovations or other big ventures, discuss these with your child, helping him see the importance of advance planning.
- Compromise with friends and family. Kids learn many of their social skills by observing you. Therefore, when you are flexible, compromise frequently, and reduce bickering and fighting to a minimum, your child will do the same!
- Be polite. You may be frustrated on a long line at the supermarket, or when a telephone operator is rude, but your child focuses only on your behavior. She will mimic your words and intonations in the classroom or on the playground. Thus, be aware of how you speak to people—no matter how aggravated you may feel inside!
- Listen. Paying attention is one of school's—and life's—most important skills. So put down your phone, turn off the TV and really listen to your kids, your partner and anyone that is talking to you. Not only is it a good way to teach your child, but it will improve the quality of your life as well.
- Organize your workspace. Kids need an orderly space to do their homework and so do parents! If you keep your space organized, your child will be more likely to keep his space tidy too.
- Be open minded and curious. Approach every situation and person with as little pre-judgment, negativity and ambivalence as you can muster. Be enthusiastic and optimistic whenever possible. Fake it if you must! These are important life skills to role model for your child.
- Read! Parents who read are more likely to raise children who read. In addition, read to younger kids. Children who read will have better reading comprehension and overall better success in school.

I recently took m...
I recently took my vehicle here and was disgusted with the way "the owner" spoke to me. She is rude and told me "I was making her blood pressure rise, and she was about to lose it on me". All for asking qquestions concerning the work they did to my vehicle. Im very disappointed in the way the situation was handled, looking for someone to fix the problems the caused. They know how to waste your time and money. GM specialist is not what I would call them.
Merchant Reply September 29, 2015
she had a her vehicle diagnosed at another shop needing a new module programmed to make her rear window wiper work (we are one of few shops that do programming outside the dealer) the module is expensive an cannot be returned once programed. so we had a quick look at it an told her she did not need the module that here rear wiper motor was seized an programming the module would not fix her problem an that she wouldn't be able to return her module she bought. she yelled at us an said I already had it diagnosed you just program it. so we programed it (which cost us to buy the program every time) an guess what her wiper didn't work. so we had to charge her it cost us money but for some reason it became all are fault.
