In February, 2014, General Motors recalled 1.6 million vehicles because of a faulty ignition switch that has been linked to the deaths of 13 people. To make matters worse, the company may have known about the defect for over a decade.
The recall was followed by members of Congress asking for an investigation into whether GM broke any laws while waiting so long to inform the public. By October of 2018 the federal case was dropped because of GM's "good behavior."
Owners who disagree with that behavior assessment can still sue the automaker.
The Recall and Recall Expansion
In February, 2014, GM finally announced a recall of 780,000 vehicles for the ignition switch problem, expanding it to over 1 million vehicles just a couple weeks later. According to documents filed to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) , the problem is caused by the torque performance of the ignition switch.
Customers who have previously had their ignition switch repaired will be reimbursed1, but still need to have their ignitions replaced again as part of this recall.
The Affected Vehicles
- 2005-07 Chevrolet Cobalt
- 2006-07 Chevrolet HHR
- 2007 Pontiac G5
- 2006-07 Pontiac Solstice
- 2003-07 Saturn Ion
- 2006-07 Saturn Sky
GM plans2 to provide loaner cars to those affected by the recall.
The Ignition Switch Problem
The problem is with the ignition switch3 which can get knocked out of place by a heavy key chain or in the event of an accident. When that happens it can cause the car to stall, disabling electrical systems and the car's airbags. That's exactly what happened in 31 known accidents that led to 13 front-seat fatalities.4
Natasha Weigel and her friend, Amy Rademaker, 15, were riding in a 2005 Chevy Cobalt when the car suddenly lost power and slammed into trees on a rural Wisconsin road on Oct. 24, 2006. Amy tragically died four hours and 33 minutes after the crash, while Natasha Weigel lingered for 11 days in a coma.
Everyone agrees, if you have one of the affected cars you need to get it fixed as part of the recall and minimize the weight of your keychain until then.
A Decade in the Making
As Jake Fisher5 of Consumer Reports pointed out to NPR's Morning Edition this recall is unique:
"A lot of times recalls include "this may happen" but basically this recall it's not a 1-in-a-million defect, they all have this defect, it's just a matter of time under the right circumstances that can actually turn the ignition off and cause this to happen.
The other thing that is peculiar about this recall is the timeline. GM appeared to have known about this problem for a decade before finally issuing a recall in February, 2014.
Car companies like GM are getting all sorts of information from its internal engineers, dealers, parts suppliers and from customers through sites like CarComplaints.com. In a perfect world as soon as a manufacturer receives information about a potential safety defect, they would investigate the issue and, if a problem exists, issue a recall to protect its customers. Unfortunately this isn't a perfect world.
GM has acknowledged that its engineers first experienced issues with the ignition switches in 2004. A redesign to the ignition system was approved in 2005, but later cancelled.
"New" GM versus "Old" GM
GM's new CEO, Mary T. Barra, is doing everything she can to distinguish the "old" pre-bailout GM from the "new" GM. I wonder how that's going?
To be fair, Ms. Barra has owned up to the problem. She admitted that she first learned of internal safety committees analyzing the ignition switches in late December, 2013 but she says she wasn't aware of how serious the problem was until January 31, 2014.
"Our goal is to make sure that something like this never happens again," she said.
To date, Ms. Barra hasn't dismissed or disciplined any GM employees who knew of this problem for years, stating that she's waiting for all the facts to come in6. She appointed long-time employee, Jeff Boyer, as the company's first vice president in charge of global vehicle safety.
GM's Rebate Offer and Sales Figures
Following the recall announcement, GM released an [internal memo]1 to dealers on how to deal with unhappy or concerned customers. The memo outlines the terms of a [limited-time]7 $500 rebate which is only good towards the purchase of a new, un-recalled vehicle.
What if customer indicates they do not feel safe and would like their vehicle bought back? "General Motors is not offering repurchase as a remedy. To assist dealers in helping customers who are involved in this recall that request assistance, we are announcing a special cash allowance in the amount $500 … We ask that Dealers do not market to or solicit these customers either."
So let's break it down. If you're unhappy with your death-trap of a vehicle, GM will help you out if:
- You buy a new, more-expensive GM vehicle
- Do it by April 30, 2014 – giving you less than two months from the start of the rebate offer
- Learn about it through some other means other than your local dealership, who isn't supposed to talk about it.
This "new" GM sounds a heck of a lot like the "old" GM.
People Keep Buying these Recalled Cars Anyway
Despite all of this, according to an article on CNNMoney car shoppers haven't been scared away from these vehicles at all. Citing data from sales and price trackers like Kelley Blue Book and Cars.com, the article states that used inventory of the recalled vehicles continues to attract consumer interest and in some cases prices have gone UP!
Let me state that again, just in case you missed it: despite a massive recall tied to 13 deaths, prices and consumer interest in these vehicles has actually risen.
"The cars are not very expensive to begin with. On average, they have about 100,000 miles on them, so they usually cost between $4,000 to $8,000, said Kelley analyst Alec Gutierrez. "People shopping these cars are shopping for bargains," he said. "These prices tend to move pretty broadly, and pretty slowly."
Perhaps that's why Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) urged GM to warn owners to stop driving and potential owners to stop buying these vehicles until they're fixed8.
"I urge you to issue a stronger warning to drivers of recalled vehicles of the acknowledged risk they are facing, including a warning not to drive recalled cars. This warning should be issued as soon as possible — in advance of your testimony before the subcommittee," Blumenthal wrote, saying the vehicles pose a "present urgent danger."
A Series of Investigations
The law requires a manufacturer to issue a recall if it knows a safety-related defect exists. And this means the manufacturer can't play ostrich either – they can't uncover a problem only to stick their heads in the ground and pretend like it doesn't exist. But that's exactly what they did, prompting former head of the NHTSA to call it an "immoral act"
"This is an immoral act by General Motors to cover up this defect, not tell people and then the result was inevitable, that people were going to die and be injured and that to me is unconscionable. It's like throwing an airplane passenger out without a parachute."
A House committee opened their own investigation and was quickly followed by the Justice Department, who opened a criminal investigation into if GM knowingly put consumers in harms way. It is unclear whether any of the inquiries will lead to charges against G.M. If the prosecutors in New York are unable to prove criminal liability, they could pursue civil charges instead.
Test Time: Taking GM Back to School
General Motors might have been known as "Government Motors" after receiving billions of dollars in bailout money, but their old-buddy-old-pal might now be asking for $35 million back if GM failed to follow recall regulations.
The NHTSA sent GM a "special order" 27-page document with 107 specific questions about the history of the ignition switch problem. The questions, which must be answered under oath by April 3, cover everything from lawsuits related to the problem to internal memos. Among their requests:
- A detailed explanation of how GM's examination process "was not as robust as it should have been," as GM's North American president, Alan Batey, stated as part of an apology to the public, and how GM plans to improve such processes.
- Information showing why a redesign to the cars' ignition key was approved in 2005 but later canceled without being implemented.
Did NHTSA Ignore The Safety Defect?
Meanwhile, while NHTSA is asking GM questions they might have a few of their own to answer. The Center for Auto Safety (CAS) wants to know why didn't NHTSA take action years ago after receiving complaints of airbags failing in many GM vehicles?
CAS did an investigation of the government's Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS) — I hope you don't mind acronyms — and found 303 fatalities in some of the cars that were recalled for ignition switch problems. The CAS says in every case the airbags failed to deploy, although not all are attributed to a problem with the ignition switch.
CAS says NHTSA should have opened an investigation years ago because there's no way they didn't know of the defect. In fact, according to Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety:
"…the only way NHTSA could not see a defect trend is if it closed its eyes."
Them's fightin' words.
Class-Action Lawsuits Begin
Hagens Berman9, a consumer law firm, opened an investigation into these serious defects in late March, 2014.
"Hagens Berman believes that the families and loved ones of customers who lost their lives due to this oversight deserve retribution, and that those who have endured dangerous and potentially deadly safety flaws in their vehicles have been done a great disservice by a major corporation."
GM owners who have experienced issues with their electrical systems shutting down or have had other problems with their vehicles can contact Hagens Berman.
""We want to understand why G.M. didn't warn drivers who were still operating the defective system" said Rob Carey, an attorney with Hagens Berman.
Don't we all, Rob. Don't we all.

The ignition switch is where you turn the keys to activate the electrical system or start your car's engine. ↩
It should be noted that in some of those accidents that resulted in death, the front seat passenger was also not wearing their seatbelt. While it's not known if having the airbag deployed would have saved their life, it couldn't have hurt. But, seriously people, buckle up - ok? ↩

LED Christmas lights, such as the ones made by the Philips Company, use less electricity and are safer to use than traditional incandescent light strings because they do not get hot. These LED lights can, however, end up costing a consumer more to maintain in the long run.
Philips LED light strings cost around 10 times more than a string of incandescent Christmas light bulbs. LED lights should last longer because there is no fragile filament in the bulbs that can break, but they have a limited life and can go black when stored from one season to the next. LED light strings also do not do well during prolonged outdoor exposure because the leads in the individual sockets gather moisture and get rusty.

A Slice of Happiness
If you asked us a couple of years ago to pick randomly a destination, we would've said modestly Paris. Now as we sit comfortably on our chairs at the office, while our faces are glued to our smartphones while we schedule the next meetings for the spectacular New York, we realize how important is to dream big and to believe in your every single step. Who would've thought that wearing a pair of comfortable jeans or wearing a super comfy hoodie will become a real luxury. But now since we can basically wear an Oscar dress wherever we want (because we have the perfect excuse - we do it for the job - Thank God we have it!) and since we've been inspired by the last Air France Campaign we said that it is mandatory to make the impossible possible. So...Voila!

Of course there's always a reason to travel! We've been invited to a very special #dinnerinthesand!

Since ours is over and we're back to the office we were going through the files and we have decided to post the images we shot in Poland, Warsaw, where we have been invited as special guests to a lovely event by H&M.

American Lung Association indicates pneumonia is a lung infection caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. The condition is not a single disease and has more than 30 different causes. Influenza is the most common cause of viral pneumonia in adults, and respiratory viruses cause one-third of all pneumonia cases in the United States, as of October 2014.
Other respiratory viruses that cause pneumonia include rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, herpes simplex and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). These viruses start in the upper respiratory tract but may cause pneumonia in children as the disease spreads, according to ALA.
The most common cause of bacterial pneumonia in adults is Streptococcus pneumoniae. ALA explains dozens of other bacteria cause pneumonia, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Legionella pneumophila and Chlamydophila pneumoniae. People with weakened immune systems may already have these bacteria, but then the infection spreads to the lungs when the body's natural defenses are diminished.
Very small microorganisms called mycoplasms cause mild forms of pneumonia. Mycoplasms exhibit traits of both viruses and bacteria. Tuberculosis is a dangerous lung disease that can lead to pneumonia. ALA reveals other, less common, causes include inhalation of dust, fungi, food, hazardous chemicals, liquids or gases.
Pneumonia occurs when an infection spreads from the nose, mouth or throat to one or both of the lungs. Air sacs in the lungs that exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide fill with fluid and cannot get enough oxygen to the bloodstream, according to ALA. Pneumonia infections spread quickly and can cause death if left untreated.

By doing so the EU Design Days format organically creates a unique platform where researchers and designers come together with stakeholders, policy makers and SMEs form from regions all over Europe. This distinctive concept enables all participants to walk away with not only new contacts and possible new partners, but also with valuable input to tackle current challenges in an integrated manner.
EU Design Days 2017: "The Next Step"
Regions and cities across Europe are in transformation. This transformation is already driven by smart and social innovations, but how can we improve the practice by looking at the future?
EU Design Days is an initiative from ERRIN's Design and Creativity Working Group.
For many of Europe's cities and regions transformation through design and innovation are a top priority. Challenges like population-aging, sustainable energy, climate and mobility solutions that accommodate both growth and a liveable environment for citizens have become key domains for both research and investments. Over the course of the last 10 years our cities and regions have become "smarter". Technology and data lay the basis for an infrastructure on which we can build solutions that provide answers to the challenges we are facing. But this new infrastructure also poses new challenges: privacy inflictions, technologisation of social issues, data deserts, and the confusion between means and goals.
In past years, this has led to a new awareness among practitioners. We want our cities and regions to face both the pressing challenges and to be socially, culturally and economically desirable place to live; and addressing these new challenges is key to building a sustainable practise.
EU Design Days 2017 brings together the practitioners, designers, researchers and policymakers of this transformation from smart region and city to smart society and explores what the next steps could be - in both the perspective of the smart and the social.
Going beyond the mere exchange of best practices, the EU Design Days 2017 aim much higher. This year's event combines an innovative format with a collaborative organisational approach.
A close cooperation between the European Regions Research and Innovation Network (ERRIN), 15 committed ERRIN regions, Dutch Design Foundation (DDF), the Bureau of European Design Associations (BEDA), the city of Eindhoven, Brussels Fashion and Design Platform – MAD, Architempo and renown keynote speakers, has resulted in an innovative bottom-up format that aims to provide each participant with a valuable experience. Ultimately those impressions will nurture inspiration and stimulate innovation, which will then benefit the participants as well as their regions, institutions and businesses in the future.
Design in EU Policy - Role of EU Design Days
According to a report of the European Design Leadership Board, design has a role to play in business processes and metrics (such as value-adding or cost cutting) and is considered as a sector in its own right of specialised, professional economic activity by trained and qualified practitioners and as a tool for business and organisational growth at the highest strategic level. In addition to its economic benefits, design also encompasses sustainable and responsible behaviour.
It should also be highlighted that design has been recognised as a key discipline and activity for bringing ideas to the market by the Innovation Union, one of Europe 2020's flagships and in line with this initiative, the European Commission has launched a European Design Innovation initiative in order to raise awareness and enhance the role of design in Europe.
EU Design Days forms a regional input to these initiatives by unifying stakeholders active in design from different regions in Europe. Moreover, EU Design Days adopts a cross-sectoral stance by involving not only enterprises but also representatives from the world of education and service.
This multidisciplinary approach may lead to new and innovative solutions to everyday challenges, thus highlighting the role design plays today and in the future.

The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Saturday 29 August 2009
In the story below we numbered among the duped in quoting comments supposedly by the mayor of Baltimore, but actually by a hoaxer, chastising Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary, for comparing aspects of British life to the underside of Baltimore as portrayed in the TV crime show The Wire
Comparing Britain to an episode of the cult television series The Wire must have seemed like a clever way of illustrating how the Tories say the country has been driven to rack and ruin.
But after drawing parallels this week between what his party calls "broken Britain" and the fictional drama about the crime-ridden US city of Baltimore, Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary, was rowing back last night as he came under fire from two figures he would probably rather keep on side: the mayor of Baltimore and the chief constable of Greater Manchester police.
Sheila Dixon, Baltimore's mayor, issued a statement addressed to her "fellow citizens" after being alerted to the speech made by "a member of the British parliament, a Mr Chris Grayling". She said: "To present a television show as the real Baltimore is to perpetuate a fiction that dishonours our city. It is as pointless as boasting that Baltimore has a per capita homicide rate a fraction of that in the popular UK television show Midsomer Murders."
The mayor spoke out after Peter Hermann, who succeeded The Wire creator, David Simon, as police reporter on the Baltimore Sun, reported on Grayling's speech.
Hermann wrote: "A British politician spent a night with cops in Manchester's gang unit and promptly compared what he saw to The Wire, prompting what the Brits call a row over crime and grime …The comparison to Manchester seems a bit of a stretch, and says more about how politicians hype crime than anything about Baltimore. Manchester has a population of about 400,000 and roughly 35 murders a year, compared with the 230 to 250 or so in Baltimore. None of the murders this year have involved guns." Peter Fahy, the chief constable of Greater Manchester police, concurred. "I am disappointed in anything which paints a misleading picture of this great city because it makes it more difficult for the young people growing up here," he said.
Grayling yesterday embarked on a damage limitation exercise. In an article in the Manchester Evening News, he wrote: "In July I visited Moss Side with the specialist police team that works to contain the gang problem there. I was impressed by the work they are doing. There is clearly still a major problem. ButI did not suggest that Moss Side was Baltimore … Palpably the level of violence there is greater than in Manchester or any other UK city."

Notes on Economics - Globalization
Going back to the undeveloped note file, here are a few more, about the economy and globalization:
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich says the key to countering globalization is to create jobs in which workers add value to products that make them more competitive. He says technology, not necessarily outsourcing, is what is displacing American workers.
Fed Chair Ben Bernacke says American workers can upgrade technological skills to compete and be paid more to keep up with inflation, but he does not mention the role unions could play in helping workers negotiate this.
American workers have been the most productive in the world for decades. Higher productivity means growth without inflation, but that can be overcome in global competition if the worker pays too much tax to support war costs.
Globalization in the financial world has resulted in new speed records for spreading financial meltdown.

Humorous side note: an Australian man just walked by our truck, saw the (small) barking dog and said, "hello, Giraffe!" What a name for a dog. :-)
Our days are filled with a couple of key events: language school, studying for language school, and going to the grocery store every couple of days. Exciting, right? Gotta start somewhere. :-)
Language study IS coming along - and at a fast pace. I'm very thankful we're going three days instead of five days a week. Monday's class was learning about colors, reviewing what we studied on Friday, and our first quiz. Yeah, now I really feel like I'm in school! The Thai language is slowly starting to break down for us and we're recognizing letters everywhere even though we can't read the signs yet. Little by little, bit by bit!
Today's new adventure includes replacing the kitchen faucet and finding charcoal to grill out for dinner. Never a dull moment!

Lunchtime Photo Booth Is Back
Todays lunchtime photo booth is brought to you by Annie Chun's All Natural Asian Cuisine. Actually, in no way did Ms. Chun solicit this product review. I just thought it would be a fun way to break up my work day! So today for lunch I am having Annie's Miso Soup Bowl. It's pretty good. It's vegan, low fat, no msg, the packaging is eco-friendly...and it only cost about $3.00. The miso comes in a paste rather than the dried stuff other brands do. The only bad thing I would say is that there was only a couple pieces of tofu and they were tough. So, overall...if you're looking for a quick, cheap lunch...and like Miso try it out.

We wish Nell Bell, our oldest surviving Life Member, a joyful 90th birthday on 29th July 2016. Nell is a founding member and former president of our association under its original name, The Storytelling Guild of Victoria, formed 1978.
Nell Bell began her contribution to children's literature and storytelling in 1942 when, as Assistant Matron of Ashfield Foundlings Home in Sydney, she introduced story time. Raising her own children, she became a kindergarten teacher in Eltham. Nell's interest in stories led her to further training: in 1975, as a librarian at Preston East Technical School, she taught Introduction to History of Literature and Books. In the same year she toured schools and libraries in China as part of an education program. Later she visited New Zealand and America. Attaining her Secondary Teachers Certificate, Nell started a Children's Book Club and published an article entitled The Importance of Oral Literature in the Education Department magazine.
In the 1980s, Nell obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in Children's Literature at the University of Melbourne, as well as a Graduate Diploma in Children's Literature at Toorak Teachers' College / Victoria College - Toorak campus. As Librarian in Charge at Templestowe Technical School, Nell was part of a program that taught Understanding Literature to senior students. Nell remembers that oral storytelling was in Year 12 exams "for a few glorious years".
As part of the 1988 Bicentenary, Nell joined a delegation of Artists in Education sponsored by the Australian Federal Government and JF Kennedy Cultural Centre in Washington sent to America as representatives of Australia.
Back in Australia, Nell conducted seminars in regional universities for mothers of new-born babies on the importance of literature and stories. Nell was the first storyteller to perform at Dromkeen and was Artist in Residence at several colleges. She has been a member of the Victorian Branch of the Children's Book Council of Australia and the Victorian Committee for UNICEF.
Nell was the first storyteller employed at the first fairy shop in the world, Wonderwings in Richmond, where she mentored storytellers from the late 1980's into the 90's.
In parallel during the 90's, regular evenings were held entitled The Storytelling Cafe. There were many workshops, which included visits from overseas storytellers.
In 1995 Nell took a major role in developing students' skills for performances at St Martins, South Melbourne as part of Artists and Environment Designers in Schools (AEDIS). Nell's storytelling skills won her an invitation to participate in the launch of Children's Week at the National Gallery of Victoria.
Nell has always been quick to volunteer her services as a storyteller for the free children's concerts at national Australian storytelling conferences and has also volunteered as a storyteller at Camp Quality and Children's Hospital in Melbourne and Radio of the Air School in the Northern Territory. To quote The Harper (Autumn 1997), the Guild's first newsletter that started in 1979: "Nell has a great love of people and a strong belief that story can show that all aspects of life are a continuing cycle to be celebrated and shared".
Articles by Nell in JB Rowley's journal Swag of Yarns include "Here Be Dragons" (1998), "Crooked Mick" (2000), "Bilby Saves Easter" (2001) and "Thanks for the Memories" (2005).
In 2005, Nell Bell was awarded the Leila St John by the Children's Book Council of Australia, administered through the Children's Book Council of Australia for services to children's literature, acknowledging Nell's generosity of spirit and love for children. In 2011, Nell's daughters Susan and Bronwyn and members of the Storytelling Guild of Victoria accompanied Nell to be presented with this medal.
Recently, Nell participated in Bridging The Gap Through Art. A news report caption read: "Generation gaps don't come much bigger than the gulf between elderly citizens in primary care and primary school students".
Nell now resides at Westgarth Aged Care Facility, Melbourne.
As Nell's storytelling family, we give our heartfelt gratitude for all the great years of mentorship, dedication and inspiration. Thank you, dear Nell.

I listen to the ESL Podcast Buying Theater Tickets, which is a good English learning material for intermediate level ESL learner. The whole episode is about a dialogue between two persons who are going to see a play. They are discussing about how to buy the theater tickets. The podcast is about 20 minutes in all, with 2 minute dialogue at the beginning, 15 minute explanation for the dialogue and the rest is the normal speed dialogue again. The focus of the episode is on vocabulary explanation. For example, vocabulary like orchestra, loge, mezzanine and balcony, which are frequently used in theater. So the episode can improve students' listening skills and help them acquire new vocabulary. And more importantly, they can use what they have learned in their daily life, which means they can improve their social skills.
My specific learning objectives are:
1) Students will be able to identify the key vocabulary in the episode.
2) Students will be able to use the words in daily conversation.
For assessing their learning, I can design some vocabulary quiz, for example, for the word "matinee", I will give them multiple choices:(a). day-time (b). at night and (c). all the day. Besides, I can let the students have role play and let them talk about their theater plan in the play, using the vocabulary they have learned at the same time.

Why Is The Federal Government Running Ads Secretly Created & Owned By NBC Universal?
from the so-that's-how-it-works... dept
The Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment has no records responsive to your request. Please note that NBC Universal owns the material, not the City of New York.That's fascinating information. Of course, I had also filed a separate FOI request for any info on the licensing agreement between NYC and NBC Universal. As of this writing there has been no response from NYC, in violation of New York State's Freedom of Information Law, which requires a response within 5 business days (we're way beyond that).
Still, at least give NYC credit for making it clear that NBC Universal had a hand in the creation of the videos, even if it left out the rather pertinent information that it created and owned the videos. While I find it immensely troubling that a municipal government would run PSAs created by corporate interests (without making that clear), I'm extremely troubled by the news that the federal government would run those same videos with absolutely no mention of the fact that the videos were created and owned by a private corporation with a tremendous stake in the issue.
Could you imagine how the press would react if, say, the FDA ran PSAs that were created and owned by McDonald's without making that clear to the public? How about if the Treasury Department ran a PSA created and owned by Goldman Sachs? So, shouldn't we be asking serious questions about why Homeland Security and ICE are running a one-sided, misleading corporate propaganda video, created and owned by a private company, without mentioning the rather pertinent information of who made it?
Does Homeland Security work for the US public... or for NBC Universal?

Whitney a reluctant birthday boyby Jerry Brown
GLENDALE, Ariz, -- Ray Whitney turned 40 years old on Tuesday and thought he might have escaped the wrath of his teammates since it was an off-day for the Coyotes.
No chance. His locker was dressed up with presents on Wednesday, including a walker -- adorned with a blue bow -- tubes of Ben Gay and denture cream, laxative, batteries and a magnifying glass with which to read the latest copy of Oprah Winfrey's "O" Magazine.
Whitney, who will dodge any camera possible even on most normal days, had no interest in coming out to view the display while media was in the room. But his teammates didn't mind commenting -- especially suspected ringleader Shane Doan.
"I'm way young younger than a few people on this team -- and Ray Whitney is way older than everyone else," the 35-year-old Doan was only too happy to point out, "We fixed him up with a 40-year-old survival kit just to make sure he has everything working."
Whitney had everything working during the regular season, leading the Coyotes in assists (53) and points (77) while pumping in 24 goals. He's added six points in 13 playoff games -- showing he's not quite ready for a walker.

After a tasty breakfast and a little shopping we started the day at the William Wallace memorial which was thankfully free of any Mel Gibson stuff but did have t-shirts of the Mel Gibson lookalike which was hilarious. The memorial is a tall tower perched on top of Abbey Craig just outside of town and the 245 steps to the top are broken up by museum rooms including Wallace's sword, a rather cheesy video projection courtroom reenactment, the hall of heroes where you could vote for your favourite 20th century Scottish hero (c'mon Billy Connelly) and a fabulous, if freeeeeezing view from the top.
Heading out of town took a lot longer than usual cos we kept going in circles trying to find the right exit off the many confusing roundabouts but made it to Edinburgh pretty quickly and after navigating several more increasingly baffling roundabouts found a park right below the castle. Climbed up castle rock to the Royal Mile and up to the castle which is huge and very impressive.
Went on a free tour led by a Screech lookalike, checked out the Scottish honours (sword, scepter, crown and stone on destiny), prison of war museum complete with realistic sound effects and the tiny St Margerats chapel (the oldest building in Edinburgh) before heading out to find the hostel. Decided to splurge for the last night of our trip together so headed out to Howie's, a very nice restaurant built, as I later found out, over a cemetery for a delicious dinner. Strolled around town for a bit and found the Elephant House where JK Rowling used to hang out but unfortunately, just as it was closing.

Most Helpful Girl
They're all ugly except the first one.. and I'd only wear that if my body looked like hers. :D
Have an opinion?
link 1 looks cute, love the sequins
link 2 isn't great. either do backless or short but not both
link 3 is really cute in pink but I have small boobs so it may not fit well
link 4 is just plain...
hope this helps!
Link 1 - Definitely
Link 2 - Maybe... with my chest size I don't really like the way it looks in the front.
Link 3 - Definitely
Link 4 - Maybe, it depends on where to, its a little plain but still cute.
cool! You don't think they're too slutty in the butt area i.e. short and tight?
Depends on the occasion, I wouldn't wear these to certain places no, but for a fine time or going out with friends or something fun like that they are just fine and perfect.
Looks like good club show dresses, but I don't wear heels. I don't believe in ruining my toes, I've good feet, but if a guy needed me to destroy them to maintain his erection than he should go gay.
lol, I like girls in heels, but that just made me laugh.
No on all accounts. I like for a man to acknowledge that I am indeed an attractive woman but I don't like it when I feel eye f***ed
1st - yes if it were a tad longer
2nd - no, not my style
3rd - no, too revealing for me
4th - no, too plain
No. I think they're all ugly except the second one. But I don't think it would fit me right since I have small boobs.
maybe if my intent was to leave nothing to the imagination... but all those dresses are really boring. layers make things more interesting :)
No. I don't like showing that much skin. I would be uncomfortable.
I would wear the fourth one, the rest are to slutty for me
I probably look obese compared to those models, so no I would not wear them :D
First - I would wear it
Second - It's uber cute
Third - Too slutty for me
Fourth - It's alright
From best to worst.
1) first dress
2) third dress
3) fourth dress
4) second dress.
No, none of them are my style. But I might wear the last one.
No- I hate going strapless.
No- I think it's kinda ugly
Yes- Very cute
Yes- sexy
1st one- No. Definitely no.
2nd one- If it were longer
3rd- Hell No.
4th- If it were longer.
no, no, no and no - too slutty - cute but slutty
i would wear the last one
No, no, no and no. I have curves and those dresses look like they are made for prepubescent boys.
notice how all the models are super thin. you won't see many girls with curves or "bigger" wearing them. while most of the girls said theyre slutty/too revealing. I don't believe you can have "slutty" clothes. once you start acting slutty, then they become slutty. you're allowed to go out in what you want, its how you act that makes you be perceived as slutty :P
well, maybe not slutty, you're right.
but they're definitely tacky.
I like all of them but the third one. You'll look better in these than the way that some girls just trash up there regular clothes to show skin. I think they're fine, and the girls who say no probably just couldn't pull it off.
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

How to Remove Cake Frosting Stains From Carpet
What you will need:
- Dull knife
- Paper towels
- White Vinegar
- Cold water
- Clean white cloth
- plastic bag
Having a kids party on your carpet can be a nightmare when the cake comes out. Both adults and kids alike can drop cake frosting on your carpet leaving you to clean the mess when the crowd clears. The quicker you can begin to treat the cake frosting stain the easier it will be to remove.
- Just like removing the cake frosting stains from clothing you should try and fight the urge to wipe the cake frosting away. Instead use a dull knife to gently scrape the excess frosting from the carpet. Gently is the key word. Do not scrape too hard as to not ruin the carpet.
- Next, mix 1 cup of cold water with 1 cup of white vinegar. Mix the solution well to evenly distribute the vinegar in the water. Tip: Ensure you use cold water! Hot water will only further set the stain into the carpet.
- Dampen the clean white cloth by submerging it into the vinegar solution and then wringing it out.
- Before treating the stain you should conduct a test on the carpet. Vinegar can cause the carpets colors to fade or change. Test a small out of the way area. If there is no color change or color fade you can proceed with the remaining stains.
- Now that you know the solution is safe to use on the carpet, saturate the clean white cloth with the vinegar solution.
- Blot the cake frosting stain with the saturated cloth. Ensure that you have completely saturated the stained area and ensure that you are only blotting the stain not rubbing the stain.
- Once you feel you have removed the cake frosting stain you should place a paper towel over the damp area of the carpet. Allow the paper towel to soak up as much of the liquid as possible. Change the paper towel as needed.
- Next, you will place a plastic bag over the paper towel soaking up the liquid.
- Place a weight, like a heavy book, over the plastic and paper towel.
- Allow the paper towel to soak up the liquid overnight.
- In the morning lift the book, plastic bag, and paper towel off of the cake frosting stained area.
- Inspect the carpet. If the stain remains repeat the stain removal process. If the cake frosting stain has been removed you can vacuum the carpet to try and make look as good as new.

MARTINEZ — A Highway Patrol officer who was shot in the head Tuesday, Sept. 4, during a traffic stop in Contra Costa County and died of his wounds Wednesday, Sept. 5, has Inland connections.
The parents of Officer Kenyon M. Youngstrom — Gaylord and Jill Youngstrom — live in Riverside, where Kenyon Youngstrom grew up, according to a press release from the governor's office.
"Officer Youngstrom was a valued member of the CHP family, a dedicated officer and soldier who gave his life serving the people of California," said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow in a statement released Wednesday to the media.
Authorities struggled to understand what prompted a computer programmer with no violent criminal record to shoot a California Highway Patrol officer during a traffic stop, an encounter that resulted in the officer's death Wednesday.
Officer Kenyon Youngstrom, 37, was pronounced dead at the Walnut Creek hospital where he had been on life support since he was struck in the neck and his spinal cord was severed Tuesday morning, Officer Peter van Eckhardt said. A married father of four who lived in Cordelia, Youngstrom had worked for the CHP for seven years.
CHP Capt. Jonnie Fenner told reporters that losing him in the line of duty was unimaginably difficult for his colleagues.
"We are remembering Kenyon in all the ways we possibly can," she said. "I want you to know that he absolutely loved his job."
Youngstrom's suspected assailant, Christopher Boone Lacy, 36, was shot at the scene and killed by Youngstrom's partner, who saw his fellow officer go down, Contra Costa County sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said.
Video from a CHP dashboard camera showed Youngstrom speaking with Lacy for about 30 or 40 seconds when Lacy pulled out a gun and opened fire without provocation, Lee said at a news conference.
The second officer, whose name has not been released, apparently initiated the stop from a separate patrol car on Interstate 680 near Alamo, flagging Lacy for suspicion of driving with an obstructed license plate, Lee said.
Youngstrom was already on the shoulder handling a dead deer when his partner notified him that he was pulling over a Jeep Wrangler. Youngstrom directed the driver where to stop and approached the Jeep, Lee said.
A motive for the shooting remains unknown as investigators are still trying to develop a profile of Lacy, Lee said. Investigators found a loaded semi-automatic handgun, two ammunition magazines and a knife in the Jeep, he said. Lacy had a drunken driving arrest in Marin County in 2006, Lee added, but beyond that, no criminal record.
"We've been told he pretty much keeps to himself. He's a loner," Lee said.
A team of investigators late Tuesday served a search warrant at Lacy's mobile home in Corning, a rural community 158 miles north of the fatal traffic stop, and seized six computers and several hard drives, Lee said.
Neighbor Howard Braden, 64, said he spent nearly an hour speaking with investigators, describing Lacy as smart and easygoing. He said Lacy had told him he had found short-term programming work in the Bay Area. Braden said he last saw him going jogging Monday.
"There were no red flags," he said. "No one knew he had any guns or weapons."
Braden said his neighbor had worked on his computer as a favor. "He must have snapped," he said.
Investigators also talked to Lacy's parents, who live in Oregon are expected to come to the area for questioning, Lee added.
Gov. Jerry Brown said flags at the capitol will be lowered in Youngstrom's honor. Youngstrom's name will be enscribed on a memorial fountain honoring fallen officers, CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow said.
Youngstrom's death brought an outpouring of support for his family, some of whom came up from Southern California to be at his bedside. Dozens of his fellow officers and law enforcement colleagues remained at the hospital nonstop, while residents held a vigil in his honor at a park near his home Wednesday night.
A neighbor, Ryan Patchen, told the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/TWu8Gx ) that Youngstrom was devoted to his family and job.
"You know it's a risk, but you don't expect it to happen, especially something so close to home," said Patchen, 22. "I feel awful for his family, what they must be going through."

|Missy avec Lite Wand, swing & sprite
These toys are very clever, especially when used with the Lite Wand. It can collect colours from a colour wheel but Missy Woo was very impressed when I put the wand on her favourite dress and the wand picked up the main colour - and then we shared it with the one of the sprites just by pointing the wand at the sprites! Impressive stuff. The sprites can remember these colours but also has 10 favourite colours built in. They can "catch" spells too but the naughty one, called Bleak, can cast spells.
The sprites are about 7cm high so they are a perfect size for little girls to carry around. For some reason, two of them were strapped into the spare seat in the back of the car for a few days - not by me, I hasten to add. Missy liked them sufficiently to take one and the Lite Wand into school during the last week of term so I may now be to blame for several small girls hassling their parents for that great new toy their friend had!
|The swing, with Prisma on board
I asked Missy Woo to tell me what she liked best about the Lite Sprites and she said she liked all the colours and how they changed. She then went on to list all the colours it went and it got a little boring so I'll spare you that bit!
I'm sure these will be popular and after last week's angst over the Hello Kitty vanity case, these toys are of a far more innocent and gentle nature so are perfect for little girls of Missy Woo's age who dream of being fairies, princesses or even fairy princesses. They will love them. Will parents love them? I reckon so, although they might not appreciate having to do all the reading of user guides and figuring out all the features for their little darlings. There may have to be Lite Sprites training courses.
(I was provided with the above toys to review and have received no other compensation. The opinions stated here are my own, and have not been influenced by the aforementioned compensation.)

Are Proposals Becoming Outrageous?
August 8, 2008 at 8:08 p.m. the man of my dreams dropped down on one knee and asked me to be his wife.
We were overlooking the Sleeping Bear sand dunes. Prior to the actual proposal we had visited stops 1-7 on the trip in a hurry. There is a trail with amazing look outs. I wanted to stop and spend a little time looking at each of them, but he had a plan. He had to be at the prettiest spot (site 8) at 8:08. I could feel his heart beating as he stood with his arms wrapped around me (it was quite chilly). There was a storm rolling in in the distance. We walked up the dune a little and stood next to a sign that said "Do Not Stand Here." When he stepped back he said "I love you." I thought, oh no he is going to jump. Instead he popped the question. There was a group of kids that started cheering, I started crying, and the phone calls to family and friends began.
I tell you this because it was so special. A moment I will remember for the rest of my life. It was a proposal that fit our relationship. Special but not over the top.
A recent trend has been celebrity proposals. They are taking You Tube by storm. Taylor Swift had a couple get engaged at her concert a few weeks ago. Yesterday Justin Timberlake assisted a fan, Josh, in proposing to his
girlfriend fiance Kim.
Is this romantic, or over the top. Are girls beginning to fantasize about unrealistic proposals? Not everyone can have a celebrity bring them up on stage for that once in a lifetime moment.
This may have been a representation of their relationship. I am happy for them, and I don't want it to sound like I am against this type of proposal. I just hope that people realize that as a society we are starting to set standards that not everyone can meet. We are raising a group of kids that think gestures have to be so grand they will turn into a viral video.
What is wrong with a proposal that is private. Something between you and your future life partner? I am so thankful that my husband made our proposal special and something that I don't need a viral video to remember.

Brooklyn assemblyman Vito Lopez, who is pushing hard to win the county's Democratic Party leadership post made vacant by the conviction of his former assembly colleague, Clarence Norman, Jr., has something else in common with Norman: Both men used political campaign committees to pay for their personal cars, and then accepted mileage reimbursement from the legislature - a legal no-no according to Brooklyn District Attorney Charles "Joe" Hynes who won indictments against Norman for that very offense.
State election board filings show that since 1999 the Bushwick pol's campaign committee, "Friends of Vito Lopez," has routinely shelled out $500 a month in leasing costs for his Acura sports car, and another $2800 a year for his auto insurance costs. It also pays more than $200 a month for a luxury dashboard computer service. In addition, the committee picks up a monthly American Express bill for the assemblyman, a tab that runs from $400 to $8,000 a month.
At the same time, legislative expense records show that Lopez has routinely billed the Assembly for his weekly 320-mile round trip between Brooklyn and Albany when the legislature is in session. Legislators are reimbursed on a per-mile amount, currently pegged at 48.5 cents, a figure that is set by the federal IRS and which is calculated to reflect the full cost of owning and maintaining an automobile, including fuel costs. To obtain reimbursement, lawmakers are required to fill out a detailed sheet specifying mileage, and must certify that it is truthful and accurate.
In Norman's case, the payments were made by the Kings County Democratic Committee, a practice Hynes said constituted double dipping. Two years ago, Hynes won indictments against Norman for grand larceny and 76 counts of filing falsified expense statements. Norman's attorneys challenged the charges, but courts have upheld them saying that the grand jury that indicted the former Bed-Stuy powerbroker correctly found that Norman was seeking reimbursement under false pretenses. Norman has yet to be tried on those charges. He was convicted of separate campaign abuses last month and forced to give up his law license and political positions.
A Hynes source said Lopez's filings appeared to be similar to Norman's, and are currently under scrutiny. "There is a pending investigation," the source said.
Lopez vehemently defended his practice and said he's doing nothing wrong. "There are at least 15 or 20 legislators who do the same thing," he said. Lopez said that he splits the cost of his car and insurance, with his campaign committee paying 70 percent of the tab, while he pays the rest himself. Lopez said that his total monthly lease payments for the auto run a whopping $800, but he refused to provide specifics.
Lopez also declined to say what's covered by his American Express bills, but insisted that they don't include his auto upkeep or gas costs. He pays for all of that, even new tires, out of his own pocket, and in cash, he said. Always cash? Even at a self-service gas pump? "Yes, this politician pays in cash. I just bought a new Michelin tire. I paid for it in cash, I could send you the receipt." Would he? "No, I am not going to give you anything. I have gone way beyond what I should. I know what this is all about. You are trying to bring me down."
Norman's indictment on the expense-padding charges came after two other city legislators, former Bronx assemblywoman Gloria Davis, and Brooklyn assemblyman Roger Green, were also cited for improperly seeking travel reimbursement. But even in the wake of those scandals, Lopez said he had never sought an opinion regarding his own expense practices. "Others have gotten legal opinions," he said. "It's legal."
Brooklyn's Democratic district leaders are due to meet next Tuesday to consider plans for choosing a new chairman of the party's executive committee-the party leader's formal title. Lopez claims he already has 25 votes - more than enough to put himself over the top. But others disputed his math, saying he has no more than 19 or 20, still shy of the 22-vote majority needed for victory. But Lopez is already talking like he has it wrapped up. "My pledge is to bring unity and respectability to the party," he said.
Lopez would also bring a penchant for endorsing Republicans over Democrats. In recent elections, he backed Rudy Giuliani for mayor, and George Pataki for governor. He also backed his longtime ally, former Senator Al D'Amato, against Democrat and fellow Brooklynite Charles Schumer in 1998.
"Lots of Democrats did the same thing," he responded. "I am responsible for putting some of the best, most progressive judges on the bench, how about that?"

Does Vito Lopez have a Norman problem?

I am tickled by the thought that almost every paper in America had "DEEP THROAT!" written across it in a hyperbolic type font. Anyone new to the country might think there's been a widespread fellatio epidemic.
I sincerely hope a new informant will be inspired by Deep Throat's story and leak information about this current administration. And I hope he refers to himself as Filthy Sanchez.
I'm also amused by one of the brownstones Robert and I pass on the way home from the park. It's clean and meticulously well-kept, but its front facade features concrete gargoyles, a row of grotesque marble statuettes depicting the seven deadly sins, and a sign with "Un-Welcome" scrawled across it over the door. (Robert often asks to walk by "the building with the lizards on it.") There 's also a handwritten poster on the front window advertising a two-bedroom floor-through apartment for rent over the summer. It's been up for a few weeks now, so I wonder if they're curious why no one's jumping at the chance to live above Weirdly Gruesome.
As Team LOD settles into foursomehood, the boys continue to exhibit interesting new bits of behavior. Robert is becoming fixated on his friend Sadie, whom he often says he "loves." No play date can end without a hug and a kiss for her. Healthy enough, I suppose, since you have to feel love to express it. But lately the two of them have made their relationship exclusive, often telling interlopers that "you can't play here" and "you're not our friend anymore" and reducing the unfortunate third wheel to tears. Today, he saw Sadie on the swings and almost yanked the kid swinging next to her down to the pavement. This is a phase that will hopefully 1) pass quickly and/or 2) be excellent fodder at their rehearsal dinner.
TwoBert is far less interesting, since his two main talents are clusterfeeding and staring cross-eyed into space. However, he also hoots in his sleep, which is about the cutest thing ever.

Michelle Williams and Jason Segel have broken up.
The adorable couple has called it quits, quietly ending their relationship earlier this month, according to Us Weekly and People.
Distance seems to be the culprit.
She of "Oz the Great and Powerful" lives in Brooklyn with her 7-year-old daughter Matilda, whom Williams had with the late Heath Ledger. She hit the film's Los Angeles premiere earlier this month without Segel in tow.
PHOTOS: 'Oz the Great and Powerful' premiere
Segel, who is one of the stars of the CBS series "How I Met Your Mother," primarily resides in Los Angeles, where the comedy films.
The couple began dating in March 2012 and kept a relatively low profile throughout their relationship. They are said to have been introduced by Williams' good friend and "Dawson's Creek" costar Busy Philipps, who was also on "Freaks and Geeks" with Segel. Williams and Segel reportedly moved in to a Brooklyn apartment together last year.

Coal Leasing Dip Could Hurt Wyoming School Funding
CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Projections show that a decline in coal leasing could tighten up funding for school construction in Wyoming in a few years.
Fees paid by coal companies to lease federal coal in the Powder River Basin have financed more than $1 billion in school construction in Wyoming over the past decade.
Leasing has dwindled, however, as demand for coal has declined. Back-to-back unsuccessful bids on coal-rich lands resulted in no new coal leases in Wyoming last year.
Economists now project that Wyoming's share of federal coal-leasing fees known as coal lease bonuses could hit zero in 2018.
State Sen. Bill Landen of Casper says if significant new leasing doesn't happen soon, Wyoming will need to change how it pays for new schools and school renovations.
