villalong Posts: 1I seem to be having similar problems with my 97 sebring. I needed to change the water pump and when I put it back together the timing belt seems to be off, the car will not start or do anything, actually it sounds different like there is no compression in the motor. Have you figured out how to fix your car?0
dcxdummi Posts: 1i had 97 breeze w/ 2.0 liter 4 cyl engine in for head gasket/timing belt to local mechanic. after work was done, they couldn't get it started for 3 days either. they even called mechanic friend from local dealership, he didn't know. must have been a fuel system vapor lock of some sort, cause it would run momentarily when hit with ether. suddenly started & i drove for another 10000 miles or so before i traded off for 2000 breeze w/ 2.4 engine (much better!)0
nikolmann Posts: 1I have a 1998 sebring lxi and i'll be driving down the road and all of the sudden the rpms will drop to 0 as if the car stalls then will restart then die. 30 minutes later it will start like nothing ever happened.
Everything else is still on like the radio and everything and the local mechanic and the dealer said that without the check engine light coming on its hard to tell whats wrong. I have replaced Fuel pump, auto shutdown relay, some sort of fuel relay, and catylic converter. Throttle body was also cleaned. Chrysler told me they didn't have the tools to fix it and I should try a mitsubishi dealership.
Please help! I have put over $1,000 into this car and I only had it for 1 month. I have seen other posts online with people having this same problem, but no one posts the answer. Thanks0
dtownfb Posts: 2,918Problem could be wit the ignition switch. something like this would not necessarily trigger the check Engine light. Do a google search to see if the Sebring has had problems with the ignition switch.0
I've seen some other posts, but nothing that matches my problem exactly. I have a 99 Sebring with the Mitsubishi 2.5 L V6. First it died while driving. It would turn over but get no spark. I had it towed to the Chrysler dealership, thinking it might be the computer, autoshutdown relay, or crankshaft relay, etc. They told me the relays and computer were fine, but the distributor was bad, to the tune of $1300. Well, not one to fork out that kind of dough, I replaced the distributor myself. After replacing the distributor, it started right up. I drove about 2 miles and it died just like before. It will crank but no spark. Any help?!?!? Thanks.0
digitalnamo Posts: 1Turns out that it was the crankshaft position sensor. I bought the part from pepboys for $68 and had it put in for $105. Dealer told me it would be. $400. This is the first thing to replace if anyone else is having this problem. Normally a engine code would show up, but on these sebrings they don't show. Replace that and it will run like a new car.0
After replacing the distributor, I took a look at the last post. I went ahead and put a new crankshaft position sensor on with the new distributor and it hasn't died since, drove 200 miles over the weekend without any trouble, thanks for the heads up.0
angelkay Posts: 1I am Karen, I have a 98 sebring,got it last august,it has less than 90,000 miles on it, and i am having problems,just last november, i had the distributor,cap,rotor,wires,spark plugs,manifold gasket,and valve cover gasket done. Now,the car has a knocking and stalling thing going on,and the check engine light is on,and now the car wont start.the previous owner took care of the car. Should I fix or trade??And what am i looking at in terms or repair $$$0
enfield76 Posts: 2We have been having this problem for the past year now and we are getting pretty annoyed. We have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring LXI, 61,000 miles. We have replaced the battery and starter and the car still won't start now and again. Sometimes for a few minutes and sometimes for hours. We finally saw a code on the screen. P1684, I looked it up and it said that the battery was disconnected with the last 50 starts. Has anyone had this problem with their Sebring? Anyhelp is much appreciated.0
richard7985 Posts: 5Hi, Karen. Welcome to the group. You might want to have someone check the catalytic converter. The symptoms you describe are much like my '99 Sebring had a couple of years ago when we were driving across Eastern Colorado. The car would simply die without warning. It would sometimes go, but not more than about 5-10 MPH. Three dealers could not find the problem... one dealer even told me that you have to drive Chryslers at night because they can't operate in the heat in this part of the country. I couldn't believe a Chrysler dealer would tell me such garbage. Finally, a young man who runs a little garage in Lamar, Colorado, listened to it and said right away what the problem was. He installed a new converter and the car has run perfect since. And Daimler-Chrysler paid for the replacement because the converters have a longer warranty period than the rest of the car. It's worth checking. If that isn't it, have someone check the fuel filter, which causes some of the same symptoms. The fuel filter is inside the gas tank, so have fun checking it.0
leesiky69 Posts: 1I just had the same problem with my 99 sebring and it only cost me $530 with parts and labor. I pick it up in the morning so i'll see how it do.0
jmccafferty Posts: 1Hello All,
I am new here, and like a lot of you wish I didn't have to search for answers!
I started my 99 Sebring jxi Conv just like I have started it a 100 times before, and then I unhook the front roof clamps and hit the top down button and the car died. I have been trying for the last two days to start it but it just will not. It would crank over the first day, the second day It just clicked. So I jumped it with the van and It will only make a clicking sound. I'm baffled, Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
I am new to this posting site. I tried starting the car yesterday afternoon for the first time. I turned the key to start the car and the engine started and stopped before I could return the key to the running position. This happened three times before I gave up. A few hours later I tried again....this time I depressed the accelerator just a bit and the engine started and stopped as it did earlier. The second time I tried and subsequent times when I turned the key there is no sound at all. The first three times I tried to start the engine the battery cranked the starter as strong as it had all week long. Having just purchased the car, I'm this close to taking it back to the dealer and continuing with my Voyager... HELP0
I purchased the 2004 Sebring Convertible then noticed the problem in my first posting of not able to stay started. When the tow service came to my house to tow the convertible to the Ford dealership where I purchased the car the tow driver was able to start the convertible. He towed the car to the dealership where it started every time they tried. My wife and I could have taken a weekend trip down the Pacific Coast and been stuck with a car that wouldn't start. After reading other postings about the Sebring of various years, I am really bummed about my purchase. Does anyone out there have a Sebring Convertible that has not had any problems.........I'm starting to think like the one lady who chose to purchase a Toyota vs a Sebring. I need some convincing........
kscarborough Posts: 1Hi Karen..my name is Kenny and I live in Southeast Texas and ALSO have a 98 Chrysler Sebring with the identical starting and stalling problems as you describe. I have had it in - and - out of the shop for the past MONTH ...you're reading that correctly...M-O-N-T-H. At first they told me it was some sort of wiring harnes...took three weeks to get the part, installed it, the car still died...they took the harness off, sent it back, now are telling me it the distributor... put the distributor in yesterday, the car died today...taking it back tomorrow. The more I read...the more I convinced the REAL problem may be in the exhaust. Hope you get your fixed.0
skeeter5 Posts: 1my 98 sebring convt.will not start when it gets hot.i can wait a few minutes(45) and it will start.when the car is hot,i do not have spark.help please.0
I have a 2004 sebring sedan with a noise that sounds like an airplane propellor coming from under the hood. I took it to the shop and they could not identify. I am going bezerk with this noise. Can someone help!!!0
My sebring 04 had a code come up with this number on it. Does anyone know what it is ?0
hhuang Posts: 1I have the same issue on my 2006 sebring. The engine is 2.7L V6. The noise will last about 30 seconds. ???0
Hhuang, my noise,which sounds like a airplane propellor last for the entire time that my car is in gear. I don't know any other way to describe it.0
I sent a post a couple of weeks ago stating that my new 2004 Convertible would start then immediately stop. The tow truck drive was able to start it and the Ford dealer technician was also able to strt the engine. Upon calling a Chrysler dealer I found that when using an all metal key the car would not stay started. The key with a rubber top has a computer chip in it which allows the engine to run. I had no idea that this theft device even existed. :blush:
Since then my wife and I love traveling in our Sebring Convertible and are proud to be a member of the Sebring Convertible club. Young and having a ball at 60
My 2004 Sebring sedan is having trouble with the torque convertor, anyone else with problems ?0
Any chrysler owners with defective hub assemblies? I have 52k and it shouldn't be giving me problems this early!!0
My 01 coupe has a ruff idle kind of a buzz. all the belts were removed but its still there. Changed Plugs, wires, cap and rotor, injectors and intake gasket. still does it 60K miles, can feel it in the steering wheel.0
Yes changed right front at 51K the other needs it now atr 61K. Also bad lower ball joints and stabilizer links. You had many engine problems?0
nolan34 Posts: 1I have a 99 Sebring Convertible. Runs like a clock, except since it's been stalling out lately. Stalls sometimes idling at a red light or foot off the gas gliding off a highway exit. Only twice it stalled on the highway and kicked right back on. Most of the time it starts up again right away, sometimes takes an hour. Distributor replaced, same problem. New wires replaced, same problem. Now Chrysler now tells me water pump, timing belt, transmission tuneup and EGC sensor. Sounds to me like they discovered it was the EGC sensor and are trying to beef up the bill with other maintenance items. Anyone else have EGC replaced to fix problem?0
queenfreak Posts: 1I have a 95 sebring LX. Every once and a while the car would hop when in motion and sometimes when I would put it into gear it wouldnt go, I put transmission fluid in and started doing fine. Then it over heated and stopped running, I replaced the water pump and timing belt and it ran great for about 3 months. I was on my way to work and was going 35 with my foot on the gas pedal giving it gas and all of the sudden it died. I pushed it to the side of the road and tried to start it but wouldnt turn over it would crank but thats it. I bought a new battery and still wouldnt turn over. It has been sitting for about 4 months now. Does anyone have any suggestion on why it stoppe in mid motion and wont start again? Please Help0
msminka Posts: 2Hi everyone,
I just bought a 97 sebring in March and already i am soo frustrated!!! I'm a student so taking care of this car has become the biggest headache. I was driving one day, got to a light and the car simply died on me. It wouldn't start after that. It would crank but not turn over. A driver pulled up next to me and told me to press on the gas and i did and it started.
SInce then its been doing the same thing (starting problem) occasionally. A couple days ago it died on me again while driving. Same thing-pumped gas pedal it started. I decided to tow it to the shop since this seemed like a problem that was not going away. Mechanic told me it was gas filter. Changed that and i went on my merry way.
Today i wake up to go to work and again it will not start. It cranks but no turnover. The mechanic seems to have no clue what is wrong and i just can't afford another "false fix". Please please please, if you've had this same problem and successfully fixed it let me know, so i can give these people some idea of what might be going on.. I'm at my wits end right now.... Thank for the replies in advance.0

Experienced Banking Executive Led Yardville National Bank's Expansion, Regulatory Compliance and Eventual Acquisition by PNC
NARBERTH, PA--(Marketwire - Dec 18, 2012) - Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (
Today's announcement completes a management transition plan that was first announced by Royal in April 2012. Robert R. Tabas, who has served as chief executive officer since 2009, will retire from day-to-day management of the bank and holding company, but will remain as chairman of the board of directors.
Mr. Tylus was president of Yardville National Bank from 2004 to 2007, and served on the company's board of directors from 1991 to 2004, continuing as a non-independent director through 2007. During his tenure as president, Yardville expanded its footprint to 35 branches in New Jersey and Bucks County, PA, grew to $3 billion in assets, while market capitalization nearly doubled from its 2002 public stock offering. He also brings extensive capital markets experience, having worked with investment bankers and investors on a range of successful capital raising initiatives. He also was responsible for establishing an enterprise risk management culture, satisfying regulatory requirements and expanding customer-facing and internal technology capabilities. Mr. Tylus chaired several Board committees during his tenure as an independent director including the Strategic Planning Committee.
After the sale of Yardville, Mr. Tylus remained with PNC as regional president of its newly-created Central New Jersey region, which represented 120 branches. Under his leadership, the region grew as a result of cross-selling initiatives and brand expansion. Prior to joining Yardville, Tylus held progressively-responsible leadership positions in the financial services, insurance, and healthcare industries. Early in his career, Mr. Tylus was a management consultant with Touche Ross (now Deloitte Consulting) where he became a Partner. He received his bachelor's degree from Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pa., where he serves as a Trustee and earned an MBA in finance from La Salle College in Philadelphia, Pa. He is a past member of the Franklin & Marshall College Leadership Council, the Chair of The Hun School of Princeton Board of Trustees and a leader for various community organizations.
Robert Tabas, chairman of the board of Royal, stated, "Kevin Tylus' banking experience is the perfect fit for Royal as we complete our management succession. He brings a combination of community bank and large bank experience, and a history of repositioning and growing businesses in challenging industries while building cohesive management teams and organizations. He added significant shareholder value for Yardville's stockholders by helping to lead the bank's transformation from a family-owned community bank to a larger, more sophisticated and successful organization. We believe that his appointment as president and chief executive officer is a positive next step for Royal, and will benefit our shareholders, customers, employees and the community we serve."
Kevin Tylus added, "Royal Bank has a strong market presence in some of the most attractive markets in the greater Philadelphia area. Robert Tabas and the Royal team have carefully managed the bank through the downturn, and as a result, Royal has emerged with improved regulatory relationships, sound risk management practices, increased capital ratios, and an intense focus on meeting the banking needs of small-to-medium-sized businesses and consumers. This is an unprecedented opportunity for me to work with the entire Royal team to drive the next wave of growth for the bank."
Robert Tabas added, "This announcement represents the culmination of the process we launched earlier this year to transition Royal's management to an independent professional bank management team. For the first time since my father Daniel acquired the bank in 1980, there are now no members of the Tabas family involved in day-to-day bank management. However, as Royal's largest shareholders, we are encouraged by the future direction of the bank, and we believe Kevin Tylus's leadership will ultimately increase shareholder value. We remain supportive of the bank as shareholders, and I look forward to supporting Kevin as CEO in my role as chairman of the board of directors."

Is That Person At Your Door A Real Census Worker?
The Census is starting up again, and the Better Business Bureau wants to remind people to use reason and caution when answering the door. You're required by law to answer Census questions, but scammers may pose as legit Census workers and take advantage of the situation. "Law enforcement in several states have issued warnings that scammers are already posing as Census Bureau employees and knocking on doors asking for donations and Social Security numbers." Here's how to identify a real U.S. Census worker.
- They will have identification.
Real U.S. Census workers at your door will have all of the following:
- a badge
- a handheld device
- a Census Bureau canvas bag
- a confidentiality notice
The BBB says, "Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your home."
- They will only ask certain questions.
"Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information," notes the BBB. "Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census. While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, it will not ask for Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers nor will employees solicit donations."
- They will not use email. Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail or in person at home. However, they will not contact you by e-mail, so be on the look out for e-mail scams impersonating the Census. Never click on a link or open any attachments in an e-mail that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.
- The males have a bright red stripe on their bottoms.
No, wait. That's something else entirely.

Politics & Government
As UK lifts terror level to 'severe,' U.S. officials watching closely
The United Kingdom on Friday raised to "severe" its assessment of the threat of domestic terrorism in response to the spreading grip of Islamic militants in parts of Iraq and Syria, meaning that the risk of an attack is now considered "highly likely."
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said that his agency and the FBI are not aware of any specific, credible threat of an attack in the United States that would prompt a higher threat level, but he echoed the deep concerns.
"I have spoken to UK Home Secretary Theresa May about these changes," Johnson said.
He said his agency has taken several measures in recent weeks to tighten security at foreign airports with direct flights to the United States, and that the UK and other nations followed by putting "similar enhancements" in place. He did not describe them.
"This government, in close collaboration with our international partners, has also taken a series of steps to track foreign fighters who travel in and out of Syria, and we are contemplating additional security measures concerning foreign fighters," Johnson said. "Some of the security measures will be visible to the public and some understandably will be unseen."
The UK's decision lifted the terror threat level from "substantial" to "severe," which is the second highest of five possible threat levels. BBC News reported that Prime Minister David Cameron promised new legislation to make it easier for authorities to seize passports from citizens traveling abroad to fight.
While there is no known threat to the U.S. homeland from Islamic militants known as ISIS, Johnson said that violent extremists who support the group "have demonstrated the intent and capability to target American citizens overseas."
The Department of Homeland Security also "is mindful of the potential for homegrown violent extremism inspired by radical ideology overseas, and both through law enforcement and community outreach, we are taking steps to counter that potential threat," he said.
The New York Times on Friday quoted intelligence sources as estimating that more than 100 Americans have fought alongside militant groups in Syria since the civil war began three years ago, with about four known to have been killed. It quoted a senior British official as stating that more than 500 citizens of the UK have joined the fight, with about half returning to England and a small number dying on the battlefield.
In his statement, Johnson said that the U.S. government "will continue to evaluate and adopt serious and prudent homeland security measures as the situation warrants."

Glorious Autumn: Autumn Star
Welcome to my stop of Quilting Gallery's Glorious Autumn Block Hop!
Today I'm very excited to be sharing a new quilt block tutorial with you, the Autumn Star. The Autumn Star is a 12.5" x 12.5" (unfinished) quilt square. The background consists of a variety of neutrals, starting from light at the top of the block and working their way darker as you go to the bottom of the block. (Scroll to the bottom of the post to see what I made with my star.) Let's get started!
Autumn Star Quilt Block Tutorial
Please note, all seams are 1/4″; Final block size 12.5″ unfinished
Step 1: Cut your fabric. I decided to make my quilt block scrappy which meant cutting extra print fabrics so none of my HST (half square triangles) per size were the same. You don't have to do this, I just liked the look. The below chart shows the minimum requirements for cut fabric. If you'd like your star to be extra scrappy like mine, you will need to cut extra prints per size.
Pattern Piece
Number to Cut
Tan/Neutral 1
4.5" x 4.5"
3.5" x 3.5"
Tan/Neutral 2
4.5" x 4.5"
Tan/Neutral 3
4.5" x 4.5"
Tan/Neutral 4
4.5" x 4.5"
3.5" x 3.5"
Cream/Text Print
2.5" x 2.5"
4.25" x 4.25"
2.5" x 2.5"
Outer Star Points
Various Prints
4.5" x 4.5"
Inner Star Points
Various Prints
4.25" x 4.25"
Step 2: We will first assemble the inner star. Take your (4) 4.25" x 4.25" inner star point fabric and your (4) 4.25" x 4.25" cream/text print background fabric and cut them diagonally into HSTs. Pair up 1 of each print HST to 1 of the cream/text HSTs.
Step 3: Sew, right sides together, down the long end of the HSTs.
You should now have 8 squares.
Step 4: Trim your (8) squares to 3.5" x 3.5".
Step 5: Using your quilting ruler, cut your squares diagonally in the opposite direction as your sewn seam, as shown below. You will now have (16) HSTs. Set aside 8 of these to use, and 8 for the scrap bin.
Step 6: Because I wanted a scrappy look, I decided to lay out my inner star points until I was pleased with the colors.
Once you are happy with the look, sew each of your HSTs together to form hourglasses as shown below.
Step 7: Trim your blocks to 2.5" x 2.5".
Step 8: Take your (4) 2.5" x 2.5" Cream/Text Print squares, your 2.5" x 2.5" Center Square and your (4) Hourglass squares and lay them out like a 9 patch, as shown below.
Step 9: Sew the squares together into rows.
Step 10: Sew the rows together to form a 6.5" x 6.5" square.
Step 11: Now we will make the star points for the outer star. Take your (4) 4.5" x 4.5" outer star point fabrics and cut them diagonally into HSTs.
Take each of your 4.5" x 4.5" tan background fabrics (you should have 1 of each of your shades of tan) and cut them diagonally into HSTs too.
Again, I wanted my block to be scrappy so I laid out my fabrics until they were just right.
If you are doing the varied shades of tan like me, keep in mind that your top row is your lightest fabric and work your way down to the bottom row, your darkest fabric.
Step 12: Sew each of your print HSTs to your tan HSTs, resulting in 8 squares.
Step 13: Trim your squares to 3.5" x 3.5".
Step 14: Layout your block using your sewn components and the remaining 3.5" x 3.5" tan background squares.
Step 15: Sew the top 4 squares together into a row. Sew the bottom 4 square together into a row. Sew the side 2 squares together into columns.
Step 16: Sew the left and right columns to the inner star you made in the first half of the tutorial.
Step 17: Sew your top and bottom rows to the middle rows.
You're done! Enjoy your beautiful star!
I decided to add a bit of sashing to my block and turn it into a Fall pillow for my couch.
I free motion quilted the star portion (not the dark sashing) it in a nice meandering design. The backing is a great text print from Sweetwater's Mama Said Sew line.
I hope you enjoy making your very own Autumn Star. Be sure to check out Quilting Gallery's Glorious Autumn page for more tutorials, coupons and giveaways!

Organ Concert Budapest
May 2, 8:00 pm - 9:20 pm
Event Navigation
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence – The phrase is especially true for the organ concerts in the St. Stephen's Basilica. The holy building is a place where people do not speak aloud, pray in silence or come to admire the beauty of the halls from inside. On Thursday the silent sanctuary gives home to the classic melodies.
The neo-classical St. Stephen's Basilica is the most remarkable church of Hungary, one of the most significant of tourist attractions, and also the third highest building in the whole country. The program of the concert in this amazing building was adapted by Miklos Teleki who is among the best organ artists in Hungary. The arias of the program are performed by Kolos Kováts, one of the most famous concert and oratorio singers in Hungary. Among numerous prizes, in 1992 he also received the highest prize a Hungarian artist may aquire: the Kossuth Prize. The flute is played by Eleonóra Krusic who is already known for her performances with different orchestras from Barcelona, Zürich, Graz and Vienna.
Did You Know?
For the actual construction of the Basilica the great flood of 1838, provided reason. The center of today's St. Stephen's Square was a small natural emersion on the flat Pest area where hundreds of people were able to take refuge from the surging water, until they were rescued by boats. Flood survivors supported the idea of a large church's construction with donations, as thanksgiving for their miraculous escape. To the construction of the church, the donation collection was launched in the 1810's, but the works started only on 14 August 1851, according to the plans of Joseph Hild, citizen of Pest and architect of the cathedral of Esztergom and Eger.
Be prepared to be amazed! The heavenly atmosphere of the basilica and the magnificent works of art performed on organ and flute, accompanied by beautiful arias ensure an unforgettable experience.
The concerts are 70 minutes long, without intermission. Each concert begins at 20:00.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Playing against a fill-in quarterback making his first career NFL start, the Oakland Raiders managed to win despite struggling to punch the ball into the end zone.
Sebastian Janikowski kicked a team-record six field goals and the Raiders took advantage of three interceptions from Chicago's Caleb Hanie to beat the Bears 25-20 Sunday.
Carson Palmer threw for 301 yards and Michael Bush iced the game with a touchdown run in the fourth quarter to lead the Raiders (7-4) to their third straight win against a Bears team missing starting quarterback Jay Cutler.
The Raiders settled for field goals on their first six trips inside the Chicago 30 before Bush's 3-yard run made it 25-13 with 3:47 to play.
Hanie struggled in his first career start for the Bears (7-4) in place of Cutler, who broke his right thumb last week in Chicago's sixth straight win to put a major obstacle into what had been a promising season. Hanie, who nearly led a comeback in last season's NFC title game, had thrown only 14 regular season passes since signing as an undrafted free agent in 2008 and looked like a career backup for much of this game.
Hanie completed 18 of 35 passes for 254 yards and three interceptions, including a crushing one late in the first half when the Bears were deep in Oakland territory and on the verge of taking the lead.
But Hanie also threw two TD passes, including a 5-yarder to Kellen Davis with 2:11 to play that cut the deficit to 25-20. That was set up by an 81-yarder to Johnny Knox.
The game ended when Hanie botched a spike play with 4 seconds left at his 46. Instead of immediately spiking the ball to stop the clock, he took an extra step back and hesitated, leading to a game-ending intentional grounding call.
Bush was held to 69 yards on the ground by Chicago's strong defense and Palmer was sacked four times and threw an interception as the Raiders missed injured big-play threats Darren McFadden, Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore.
But they still managed to maintain their hold on first place in the AFC West by winning their third straight game, getting field goals of 40, 47, 42, 19, 37 and 44 yards to break the team record Janikowski shared with Jeff Jaeger.
They were also helped by another big-legged kicker. With Oakland at its own 20 early in the fourth quarter and Devin Hester set for a return, Shane Lechler punted the ball over Hester's head and it rolled into the end zone for a team-record 80-yard punt.
Hanie managed to drive the Bears into field goal range on that drive and Robbie Gould's 53-yard field goal cut Oakland's lead to 18-13 with 7:17 to play.
The Raiders answered with Palmer throwing a 47-yard pass to Louis Murphy on third-and-4 from midfield to set up Bush's touchdown.
Despite Hanie's interceptions, the Bears were still in the game trailing 12-7 at the break because the defense kept the Raiders out of the end zone.
Hanie's first interception came as he tried to throw the ball away but gave it right to Stanford Routt at the Bears 33. That set up Janikowski's second field goal to give Oakland a 6-0 lead.
Hanie erased that with two big plays on one drive in the second quarter. He scrambled 24 yards on a third-and-18 and then hit Knox on a 29-yard slant against the blitz on another third down for the touchdown that gave the Bears a 7-6 lead.

The NFL Players Association hopes to not only discover concrete evidence that New Orleans Saints players were directly tied to bounties, as the league has found, but also to get a basis to determine if punishments meted out are specific to allegations, union spokesman George Atallah said Monday.
The NFLPA will meet with the NFL on Monday -- and maybe longer -- to pour over evidence the NFL has offered to share regarding its lengthy investigation into the scandal that has led to lengthy suspension, fines and lost draft picks.
The 22 to 27 players cited in the scandal that occurred between 2009 and the 2011 seasons haven't been disciplined because NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he would like recommendations from the NFLPA, which very well might not happen, according to Atallah.
Goodell, by the league's collectively bargained by-laws, does not have to seek counsel from the NFLPA before issuing discipline against players.
The NFLPA might not recommend discipline because there is suspicion that it might not carry any weight in Goodell's rulings. If players appeal, any NFLPA recommendations for discipline also could work against them.
In a statement released to the NFLPA and obtained by NFL Network's Albert Breer, union executive director DeMaurice Smith said his role is not to give recommendations for punishment without gathering information and consulting with players.
"Our duty is to view and understand the evidence and to ensure it is substantiated and concrete," Smith said in the statement. "We also have an obligation to ensure that our players have fair due process. It is not our duty to give recommendations for discipline in a vacuum without information or without consultation with our players. It seems as if this entire matter has played out primarily in public, with regard for the fairness of the process an afterthought.
"Our team will meet with the NFL today, ask hard questions and will expect to see all documents and direct evidence of a pay-to-injure scheme," Smith added. "That is what a fair process dictates. I will get a full briefing by our team and after that, the next step will be to consult with players about what was learned. Only then will we confer with the NFL."
Said Atallah: "We want to get some sort of look at concrete evidence of player involvement and levels of player involvement. That is why looking at the evidence is important to us. At least there is a correlation to where the punishment fits the crime, if you will."
Saints coach Sean Payton is appealing his season-long suspension, Loomis his eight-game suspension, assistant head coach Joe Vitt his six-game suspension and the team its $500,000 fine and loss of second-round draft picks in 2012 and 2013. Those appeals will be heard -- and likely ruled upon this week.
Former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who has been suspended indefinitely, doesn't plan to appeal his punishment. The NFLPA has no jurisdiction over non-players.
The meeting with the NFL and NFLPA to review evidence stems from the league re-iterating Friday an offer that has stood for weeks for the union to look at the league's gatherings. The NFL has shared two summaries with the NFLPA, but the union has sought more information, such as video, email or other evidence to corroborate the current charges.
Besides interviewing Saints players Drew Brees and Will Smith, as well as former Saints and current Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita, at the recent NFLPA meetings, the union has interviewed numerous players who were with New Orleans during the alleged timeframe of the charges, Atallah said.

England and Wales on 15 July 2010 under company number 7316143 and with its registered office at Artemis House, 4 Bramley Road, Milton Keynes, MK1 1PT.
As a company limited by guarantee it does not have shareholders, so that all of its

to contribute £1 to the assets of the company if it is wound up while that person is a member or within one year after he ceases to be a member.
2. As a limited company TLI Cycling is governed by the Articles of Association filed at Companies House (The Articles). If there is any conflict between this Constitution and the Articles, the Articles will prevail.
3. TLI Cycling is a non profit making organisation. Any surplus is used to maintain, improve and develop TLI Cycling's activities. No surplus will be distributed other than to another non profit making body or charity on the dissolution of TLI Cycling.
4. The aim of TLI Cycling is to provide an organised programme of safe sporting events so that all cyclists from school age to senior citizen can take part in friendly competition within their own age and ability grouping, such competition being based upon the current International Cycling Federation practice.
5. The management of TLI Cycling is governed by the directors of TLI Cycling Limited. The Directors, in turn, appoint a National Management Committee which consists of The National Secretary, National Treasurer, National Police Liaison Officer, Public Relations Officer, and Regional Officers. For the AGM there may be up to two additional non-voting representatives per Region, invited by their Region Secretary. The AGM is presided over by a Chairman, elected at that meeting. Membership of the Committee is by invitation of the Directors only, and will usually be in recognition of work already done to promote the interests of TLI Cycling.
6. The Management Committee may appoint Patrons and Vice Presidents. The Management Committee may award life membership to Members who have rendered long service to TLI Cycling. The Management Committee may enter into agreement with any other organisation or person with the intention of promoting the aims of TLI Cycling.
7. There shall be an Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the autumn of each year to receive the reports of the Directors and accounts for the previous year. Members other than Regional/National officials shall not be entitled to receive notice or to vote at a General Meeting save in respect only of such business of the meeting as concerns the winding up of TLI Cycling Ltd. The quorum for a General Meeting will be half the number of Regional/National officials plus one, in post at the time of the meeting. Unless a quorum is participating no proposal is to be voted for at a General Meeting except a proposal to call another meeting.
8. Subject to the event being promoted in accordance with the current TLI Cycling Rules and regulations the Management Committee shall be responsible for all and any TLI Cycling disciplinary actions. Any Full or Day Member disciplined by a Race Organiser or any other TLI Cycling Official shall retain the right to have a formal meeting with the Management Committee in order to review the circumstances surrounding the action. It shall be deemed as sufficient notice to any Member as to the wishes of TLI Cycling that the said TLI Cycling has sent notice by post. Disciplinary Action Notices shall be sent by Recorded Delivery to the last notified address of the Member involved. The decision of the Management Committee will be final and shall include the right to deprive the Member of their Membership rights within TLI Cycling.
1.1 TLI Cycling is divided into Geographical Regions (the Regions). Regions will be administered by a Region Secretary whose powers to act are delegated by the Directors.
1.2 The Region Secretary is responsible for membership management and event approval/coordination. Other officials may be appointed by the Region Secretary to share responsibilities, subject to approval by the National Management Committee. Officials must ensure the protection of all membership data, must not divulge this information to any other organisation or individual and must ensure that user names and passwords are not used by others to gain access to this information.
1.3 The Region Secretary shall hold such meetings as its Officials or Members deem necessary including, where possible, an autumn meeting to discuss possible items for inclusion at the Annual General Meeting and/or Annual National Management Committee Meeting and to review events for the forthcoming season. The Region Secretary must inform the National Management Committee of all regional business transacted at such meetings.
1.4 Region Secretaries should notify Organisers of a date by which completed Event Application Forms must be submitted. Such date will usually be by mid November.
2.1 Membership of TLI Cycling is available to everybody aged 6 years and over and is on an annual basis, with the year commencing on the 1st of January with the membership period expiring at the end of February in the following
year. No refunds will be given to members who resign during the year. Any Member failing to renew their membership before 1 March shall be deemed to have resigned their membership and will then cease to receive
the benefits of such membership, unless paying the Day Member fee for a single event.
2.2 Annual membership shall be as follows: -
For a member aged from 6 years up to his/her 16th birthday - £0.00
For a member from the date of his/her 16th birthday until 31st December of the year in which his/her 19th birthday occurs - £10.00
For members aged 18 and over on the date of membership application - £15.00
2.3 For off-road events such as closed circuit and cyclo cross races, day membership for those aged 16 and over is £5.00 and is available at the discretion of the organiser. This sum will be added by the event organiser to the entry fee for the race together with a discretionary
surcharge to cover administration costs. Day membership for those aged between 6 and 15 inclusive on the day of the event is free.
2.4 All Members of TLI Cycling will receive the benefit of Public Liability insurance cover which includes £10,000,000 cover whilst
competing in any TLI Cycling event or promotion. Taking part in events organised by ICF affiliated bodies in Europe is also included. Please note that any accident or incident leading
to a possible claim MUST be reported to the National Secretary as soon as is possible. No dialogue or correspondence should be entered into and any
correspondence received should be forwarded to the National Secretary on receipt.
2.5 Any individual may be elected to Membership of TLI Cycling provided they agree in writing to uphold the current Rules, Regulations and
Aims of TLI Cycling and do not have a history of inappropriate participation or other unacceptable activity.
2.6 All applicants for Membership either new or renewal must confirm they are not under suspension by any other cycling
organization or if so should present valid reasons as to why any such suspension should not apply to TLI Cycling activities.
3.1 TLI Cycling competitors are divided into categories, such categories being determined for senior categories by age on the day of the event.
Note: In the case of any dispute on the grounds of age or gender the details entered on the competitors original Birth Certificate will
be the determining factor.
3.2 Any TLI Cycling member may, at the discretion of the organiser, request a category reallocation if finding difficulty in competing in their allotted category.
Similarly faster Members may compete with a younger group, subject to the organisers agreement, if they require more competition. Anyone riding "out of category" will not be shown in the published results on the TLI Cycling website, nor are they eligible for any prize(s). This rule does not apply
to National Championships when entrants must compete in their correct category. Organisers must not allow category changes to enable an individual to ride in the same race as their teammates.
3.3 Membership of other cycling bodies does not bar participation in TLI Cycling events.
3.4 TLI Cycling events, apart from those using the public highway, are open to Members who are not Full Members by way of a Day Membership, such Membership being available prior to or
on the day of the event. Day Members aged 18 and over will be charged £5 extra for all events. There is no charge for under 18's.
3.5 All competitors wishing to enter a race on the day of the event must present themselves to Race Control with a fully completed Entry Form at least 45 minutes before the start. All pre-entered riders must sign on 30 minutes before the start, after which time Reserves may sign on and be allocated to fill any vacancies, up to the maximum permitted number of competitors.
3.6 Cycles used for road or circuit racing shall be fitted with a freewheel and two independent brakes in good working order and with the exception of races for U8, U10, U12 and U14 categories, only the traditional type of 'drop' handlebars may be used and no fixed extension such as tri bars may be added to the steering system.
It is the responsibility of the competitor and/or the parent or guardian in the case of under 18s, to ensure that for every race held under these regulations his/her cycle is in a safe condition.
3.7 Race clothing must be that which is in current usage in International Cycle Racing. Trade designs are permitted but offensive slogans
or badges are strictly forbidden. The organisers decision is final.
3.8 Members should produce their Membership/License Card at Race Control. For members who have entered on-line, photo ID is acceptable.
Organisers will refuse entry to the event where a current membership card or acceptable photo ID is not produced. If the event is not on public roads the organiser may
accept the completion of a Day Membership form and payment of a Day Membership fee of £5. All full members who "enter on the day" must present a current TLI Cycling membership card.
3.9 Approved helmets are compulsory in all TLI Cycling grouped start events and are strongly recommended for time trials.
3.10 Any competitor proved to have competed in any TLI Cycling event whilst under the influence of a recreational drug, or performance enhancing substance currently appearing on any proscribed list of the International Olympic Committee or and WADA, shall be disqualified and subject to TLI Cycling disciplinary procedures. Exception will only be made for medication prescribed by a registered Doctor and used as prescribed for medical reasons.
3.11 The onus lies with the competitor to observe the Highway Code and to conform to any such laws as are current and applicable in whichever European country the event is taking place.
3.12 Riding with both hands off the bars, or adopting an unsafe riding position, such as sitting on the top-tube, can result in disqualification from a race.
3.13 In events with multiple races for different age groups, when a slower race is caught and passed by a faster race the slower race shall allow the faster race to establish itself separately in front of the slower race. It is not permitted for riders from the slower race to gain advantage by joining the faster moving race. This applies equally to breaks and lone riders. If a break from a faster race catches groups of riders from a slower race the caught riders may not join in or contribute in any way to the break or do anything else that affects the course of that race.
3.14 Disciplinary action will be taken against any member who is found to be interfering with or participating in a race without having officially entered or signed on for that race.
3.15 Any competitor who in the opinion of the National Management Committee acts in a way that is contrary to the ethos of TLI Cycling, namely "TLI Cycling
is run on the basis of friendly co operation. It is taken as read that all members are true sportsmen and sportswomen who will conduct themselves at all times
to the enhancement of the sport of cycling" will be suspended or permanently disqualified from membership of TLI Cycling.
4.1 All promotional material concerning events must include the words: 'Under The Rules And Regulations Of TLI Cycling'.
4.2 Race Organisers must complete a Race Application Form, which should then be forwarded to the Region Secretary/ Event Coordinator of the Region where
the Race will take place. The Region Secretary/Event Coordinator will enter event details on the race calendar of the TLI Cycling website. Approval may be refused by the
Region Secretary/Event Coordinator who will then have to justify this action to the National Management Committee via the National Secretary. The Region Secretary must advise the
National Secretary of any extra events approved by him/her after the 1st January.
4.3 No event may be styled as a WORLD, EUROPEAN, OR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, or use the name TLI Cycling, as an event title, without the
prior approval of the National Management Committee.
4.4 All Races on public roads are governed by the CYCLE RACING ON THE HIGHWAYS REGULATIONS 1960 and any subsequent amendment regulations.
4.5 Race organisers must use the approved 'STANDARD REGISTRATION SHEET' without any alteration to the text for signing on at all
events. This does not limit the rights of the riders under the Insurance Cover.
4.6 TLI Cycling will invite the promotion of National Road Race and Closed Circuit Championships for every age category which will be open only to full members. Competitors must ride in their correct age-related group. National Championship Jerseys will be awarded to each category as decided by the National Management Committee prior to the date of the
Championships. The championship Jerseys are to be White with Red, White and Blue, bands, with the TLI Cycling Logo integrated into the design. Sponsors
names may also be shown on the Jerseys. National Championships, in disciplines other than Road Racing, may be promoted if approved by the National Management Committee. Any such event will be promoted on the understanding that the event organiser bears the full costs of the event. Any jerseys awarded must be
approved by the National Management Committee. All age categories must be given recognition in any published results.There will be a separate WJ National Championship for Female Juniors. The WJ group will ride with one of the older age-related categories. This category may be used by organisers in any TLI Cycling event.
In TLI Cycling National Championships where Category Jerseys and Medals are presented, the minimum number of entrants in any category for a National Championship Jersey to be awarded is three(3). Where there are fewer than three(3) entrants in an age category, those competitors will be eligible for "medals only" in that category.
4.7 The format of Races other than the National Championships (see Rule 4.6) is generally to be left to the Organisers of such Races. However
the following must be borne in mind by all Organisers.
a) Whilst it is understood that the number of entries per category, or circuit length, may determine the format, the aim is to maximise the
enjoyment of the age-related racing experience. This will lead to two or three consecutive age related races seprated by a few minutes, or a handicap style of event.
b)Organisers are encouraged to apply the principle of "one rider-one prize". Allocation to groups in a handicap event should be on an age-related basis. All published
results must be entered on the TLI Cycling website and show the TLI Cycling age category of each finisher. Where a Start Sheet
has been produced, then each competitors name must have his/her category shown alongside.
c) Published details of any event must list all applicable categories. Such published details must also clearly show what, if any, conditions apply. For example 'Members Only, 'Region Only', 'Age-Related Groups', 'Handicap'.
4.8 Race Field Selection – For all road and closed circuit races, organisers will consider entries from 6 weeks before the date of the
event (or first event in a Series). If the event is oversubscribed entries will close no earlier than 3 weeks before the event for field
selection to take place. If an event is oversubscribed an organiser may choose to give preference to members from clubs, sponsored teams or groups of individuals, that promote TLI Cycling events, and secondly to clubs that promote events for the LVRC. e.g.
• Maximum Number of Entrants permitted on the road at any one time is 80 (1960 Racing on the Highway Regs)
• Allocate to 2 or 3 Age-Related Races. Maximum of 40 in any one race. (TLI Cycling good practice to minimise accidents / inconvenience).
• Therefore the number of entries to return is xxxx?
• Rejection Criteria: -
• Check Correct Age-Related Category.
• Are Female Entrants in the correct age category?
• Prioritise TLI Cycling event-promoting clubs & then LVRC event-promoting clubs
• Clubs that do not promote for TLI Cycling / the LVRC and have entered: -
a. Teams of 4 or more? Ask to select 3 only or if necessary fewer.
b. Teams of 3 or more? Ask to select 2 only or if necessary fewer.
c. And so on to achieve the permissible number of entrants.
4.9 Race Organisers are responsible for the initial liaison with the Police and any Safety Advisory Groups. The Organiser must hold a copy
of all correspondence with these authorities on the event file. It is a requirement that the file is taken to the event HQ on the day of the event to
answer questions from the Police or other such officials who may be in attendance.
4.10 Organisers are responsible for arranging a set of Competent Officials and Race Marshals for the duration of the race. These Officials
should include a Steward in control of signing on the riders prior to the start and Judges for the race finish. They should also appoint a
Race Controller/Safety Officer to assist in the control of the race, who should be empowered to disqualify or remove from the event any rider for breaches
of the Road Traffic Act or any actions which may cause danger to fellow riders or any other road user. Such Race Controller/Safety Officer should also be
empowered to liaise with the Police on the day of the event. The identity of such a person should be made known to the Police on request.
4.11 The Organiser must arrange for qualified first aid support to be in attendance. Preferably First Aiders should travel in a following vehicle at road race type events.
4.12 Covered changing accommodation with toilet facilities should be provided where at all possible.
4.13 Any riders unable to show a current TLI Cycling membership card when signing on will be assumed to be a Day Member and will be
charged the Day Member fee of £5 in addition to the entry fee for the race. If the event is on the public highway, "No Membership Card - No Ride" will
enforced. Any TLI Cycling full member who has pre-ented the event using the TLI Cycling website on-line facility may present photo ID acceptable to the organiser.
4.14 Organisers should budget for and be prepared to provide travelling expenses to all Race Officials.
4.15 At the Organisers discretion an extra charge of up to double the pre-race fee may be made for Day Members and Entry on the Line.
4.16 Within seven days of any event the Organiser should forward the originals of the Standard Registration Sheets
to the Regional Secretary/Event Coordinator and retain copies of the event records. The Organiser and the Region Secretary/Event Coordinator will keep all
such copies for one year. In the event of any accident/incident related to an event all forms, documents, etc. must be retained until any
possible insurance claims have been resolved. The documents forwarded to the Region Secretary/Event Coordinator must be accompanied by any entry
forms completed by Day Members, the Day Membership fees and the completed Event Return form.
4.17 Complaints that could affect or involve TLI Cycling Insurance Cover should be notified immediately to the National Secretary.
Failure to conform to the conditions of this Regulation may result in a TLI Cycling sanction and Insurance Cover being withdrawn from the Organiser with
immediate effect for any proposed further promotions.
4.18 Organisers must enter the Event Results on the TLI cycling website and recognise "age-related" categories on the Start Sheet, Result Sheet and within the Prize List. (Where entry numbers dictate, some categories may be amalgamated). These results feed in to the season-long category points competitions and are automatically forwarded to the national cycling press.
Failure to comply with the requirements in 4.16 and 4.17 could result in future event support from TLI Cycling being withheld or withdrawn.
4.19 Under no circumstances will TLI Cycling be held responsible for promotional debts incurred by any Organiser. However requests for
financial assistance prior to an event will be considered.
4.20 The Organiser may refuse any entry, but in the case of complaint may be required to give an adequate reason for such action to
the National Management Committee. A refusal of an entry must be advised immediately to the rider concerned.
4.21 Course Risk Assessments are a 'Requirement of TLI Cycling' and completion of the relevant forms contained in the Promoters Pack
is a must. A copy of the Risk Assessment must be available at the Race HQ for the duration of the event.
4.22 Organisers of 'Off Road' and 'Circuit' events on privately owned land must have permission to use the area, preferably in writing,
before promoting any events.
4.23 TLI Cycling Organisers have full responsibility for their events and are given flexibility in their style of promotion. However
anyone not abiding by our Rules and Regulations and the Law of the Land as it applies to Cycle Racing on the Highways will risk voiding their
Insurance Cover under the Event Insurance. This could lead to organisers being personally liable for any consequences. An Organiser who wilfully ignores
these Rules and Regulations will have any further request to promote under TLI Cycling rules refused.
4.24 In the event of a conflict in fixing dates for the calendar of events for the forthcoming season, any event which has been satisfactorily promoted the previous year shall be given priority for the corresponding date when applications are made for the forthcoming season.
4.25 Where an individual, club or organisation borrows equipment belonging to TLI Cycling, it shall be returned in same condition as when possession was taken, excepting reasonable wear and tear. Any deterioration or loss beyond such limits shall be made good at the expense of the borrower.

COSTA MESA, CA — Astronauts on the International Space Station are using technology like that patented by Heart Rate Inc. (VersaClimber), Costa Mesa, CA, for strength training while in space, according to Heart Rate Inc. The astronauts are using a flywheel exercise device that relies on rotary inertia rather than weight stacks.
"This technology does not rely on gravity to pull down weight stacks," says Brett Collins, vice president of sales and marketing for VersaClimber. "It relies on rotary inertia. It's moving mass on a flywheel, which in turns pulls a rope. It has unlimited resistance in zero gravity."
With the principle of rotary inertia, resistance is generated by accelerating the rotation of a flywheel during a concentric muscle contraction. Then, resistance is generated while decelerating the flywheel rotation during the eccentric muscle contraction.
Heart Rate Founders Richard and Dan Charnitski approached NASA 13 years ago with the idea for this technology. They suggested that it was a way to maintain fitness and counteract muscle degradation, bone loss and impairment of muscle function while in a weightless environment.
The Charnitskis have since patented the technology and use it in their VersaPulley product. NASA is using its own version of the technology, according to Collins.

Play Tobacco Free
Play at Lincoln Parks & Recreation areas tobacco free!
Providing quality outdoor recreational parks, facilities and activities for area residents has long been a priority for the City of Lincoln and many private partner organizations. Beginning November 1, 2012, residents will enjoy playing tobacco-free in most of the park areas and facilities owned and managed by the City of Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department. The primary purpose of the new policy is to protect children from the potential dangers of secondhand smoke while at play in City parks. The policy also provides adults the opportunity to be nontobacco using role models to youth on ball fields, in skate parks, and on playgrounds. The policy prohibits use of any form of tobacco products, i.e., cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chew or dip in any park areas or facilities designated as tobacco-free. This is a Parks and Recreation Department policy which will be self-enforced by park users. Although police and/or Park's staff may ask the tobacco user to stop using tobacco products or leave the park property, tickets will not be issued. The intent is that residents willingly respect the policy and not use tobacco while enjoying Lincoln's excellent parks and recreation areas. Tobacco-free park areas will be clearly identified by "Play Tobacco-free" signs. Specific park areas designated as tobacco-free include: playgrounds, skate parks, picnic shelters, swimming pools and splash parks including bathhouses and parking lots, Jim Ager (youth) Golf Course, ball fields and multi-use sports fields including concession buildings and surrounding areas, and the fenced area of Pinewood Bowl with the exception of a designated smoking area.
While this policy was established to enhance the public's health, it also decreases litter in the parks and reduces risk of fire caused by discarded cigarette butts.
Tobacco-Free Facilities
- Playgrounds, picnic shelters and skate parks
- Outdoor swimming pools and aquatics facilities, including bathhouses and parking areas
- Jim Ager Golf Course
- Ball fields and multi-use sports fields, including concession buildings and surrounding areas
- Outdoor performance venues during community performances and events, including the Sheldnik Bandshell and the Dinsmore Graf Amphitheater
- The fenced area of Pinewood Bowl (a designated smoking area is allowed during events with adult audiences)
- Pioneers Park Nature Center, including buildings and grounds
Facilities not affected by the Tobacco-Free Policy: Trails, dog runs, 18 hole golf courses and any green space located in areas defined as parkland when not used for organized contracted events.
Be sure to check out Tobacco Free Lancaster count coalition for more information.

The skort is back
Who remembers the Zara skort that took the fashion industry by storm last summer? We saw this piece on everyone from Victoria's Secret model, Karolina Kurkova, to the infamous Julie Serrano of Sincerely Jules (not to mention, every other fashion blogger out there)! Both fast fashion brands and high end designers adopted some version of the look into their collections. Luckily for us, it's still around and just as likable!
We love the way contributor, Steph from Glitterary, styled the skort this season. Her cool-girl approved striped tee and waist-tied jean jacket give her look an effortless appeal, while the metallic heels and statement necklace add enough glitz to keep this outfit from looking too boyish. Its the perfect combination of tomboy and girly-girl, and we love it!
Check out the full look at Glitterary.

BLASPHEME!!!!!! lolmodz wrote:I have switched to 1x12 cabs now. I love my K-120's and carrying one at a time hurts but doesn't kill me. I always say "to sound good I have to carry heavy things and lots of them" . I can set them one on top of each other and direct one to the left a little and other to the right a little. My favorite is spacing them apart for stereo.
I have been trying a lot of cabs with different speakers before sending them out (cool part of my job for sure) and all are against my k-120's. Nothing really compares to the K's in my mind / ears. There are a lot of speakers I love for different sounds. If I like a speaker it doesn't have to be for the Jerry sound at all. If someone straight out asks me how to get the Jerry sound I say K's 1st and D's 2nd. Just my opinion.. I'm not in a Dead band right now, we play 99% originals but there is NO escaping being haunted by Jerry in every aspect of my life so it shapes my tone for sure but doesn't dictate or set limits. We do kick a different Dead tune at every show though.
So I blow a speaker before a gig this weekend and call Sarno (we live about 25 minutes away from each other) and ask him if he has a spare I can mooch. He says "I have an attempt at a JBL clone by Peavey". WTF Brad, is what I was thinking but I had to check it out because I trust Brads opinion and he saved a show. It has an aluminum dome and looks pretty beefy so I stuck it in my HR Deluxe and did the gig with the Peavey Black Widow BW 1201 wired positive to positive then pos to neg on the JBL. The speaker really sounded great. I hate to say it but I like it! I think it found a home in my fender until another K comes along but even then I will continue to use this speaker someplace. Thanks again Brad.
I think there will be some screeching over my Peavey post:) I wanted to hate it but I didn't!
My rig is a HR deluxe (with PEAVEY????? speaker????) I know!!! I hate to say it.
A 1x12 open back which is 15x15x13 inches deep with brads prototype SMS that he turned me on to and powered by a solid state power amp (I have 2 1x12 cabs but only used one).
I love the fast attack of the solid state amp and how it doesn't compress at louder volumes and on the other side my HR deluxe squashing like crazy. Happy medium. Still looking for a perfect solid state amp. This is not my ideal rig by a long shot! If I had the $$$$ it would be a lot different but the K's would be there for sure. I like one side solid state and one side tubes though. When I hit my stereo panner (through a stereo PA) and supported a piano solo the crowd really noticed it. I don't have an OBEL right now so I have a Volume pedal after everything but before the delay and I have (hardwired) loops set up for my pedals. I have had the chance to check a few neodymium's out but nothing jumped out so far. Let me have it now:) I'm ready..................... ha ha
I see nothing wrong with trying all kinds of things until you carve out your OWN sound. A little of this, a little of that...
After all, WHO KNOWS what Jerry would be using by now?
I was chastised on here for liking my HR Deluxe.
So I like it for what I.... play,
and of course +1 on the 2 cabs

Artist's description:
------------- Three sizes available. Please check Artist Profile for more sizes.-------------
This artwork is a part of a larger body of work titled 'Memoirs of Lost Time' by artist Vikram Kushwah and co-creative director Trisha Sakhlecha.
A series of meticulously staged images and short stories inspired by the romantic notions of childhood memories and the almost dreamlike nature they possess, these images take you on an enthralling photographic and literary expedition. The stories are based on seven creative personalities' childhood memories and recollections. The images are dramatic, romantic and surreal – illustrating a very dream-like and imaginative interpretation of these distant memories, a very blurred line between fact and fiction, which is perhaps how the memory works. They are not only a reflection of what was, but also of what could have been. The series has been published widely including features in Vogue Italia (print & online) and it has been exhibited at the Corso Como Gallery (Milan) as part of the "Best of Photo Vogue" exhibition.
This image features designer Elizabeth Lau.
Materials used:
Shot on medium format analogue camera. Printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm, 100% white cotton archival quality fine art paper. This is a print only and comes packed in a tube.

September 21, 2010
After years of oversight hearings and major personnel changes, reform could be on the way for the Federal Protective Service.
On Monday, a bipartisan group of Senate lawmakers introduced a bill that would beef up the staff at FPS -- an agency within the Homeland Security Department responsible for providing security at 9,000 federal buildings -- and strengthen oversight of 15,000 contract guards.
"FPS is essentially a dysfunctional agency whose mission is in grave peril," said the bill's chief sponsor, Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. "Budget shortfalls, mismanagement and multiple operational challenges have taken their toll on the agency, making it a prime candidate for reform."
The Senate bill would authorize FPS to establish governmentwide training requirements for all armed guards, including at least 80 hours of instruction before a guard can be deployed, and at least 16 hours of recurrent training on an annual basis.
Performance-based training standards also would be created for all security employees to detect explosives and other threats at building checkpoints, according to the bill. Procedures would be developed for retraining or terminating ineffective guards. And a database would be generated to monitor the performance of all contracts for guard services.
The legislation addresses persistent staffing concerns at FPS by authorizing funding to hire 500 new full-time employees during the next four years. The agency would be mandated to employ at least 1,350 full-time employees, including at least 950 in-service field staff by fiscal 2011. Those numbers would grow to 1,700 full-time staffers and 1,125 in-service guards by fiscal 2014.
"The hiring of additional FPS law enforcement personnel is long overdue," said David Wright, president of American Federation of Government Employees Local 918, the union representing FPS employees. He noted the staffing increase is the minimal amount needed, but the union supports additional personnel allocation studies.
In a change long supported by the union, FPS officers would be allowed to carry firearms while off duty, a right afforded to most other law enforcement officials. The weapons provision, however, was not included in a similar FPS reform bill introduced in the House last week.
The Senate legislation, which could be folded into the annual Homeland Security Authorization bill, also would allow agencies to file an appeal if they believe FPS security measures are unduly hindering public access to federal facilities. In addition, agencies could submit a request to provide their own building security.
The biggest potential change, however, could still be a while off. The Senate bill would require FPS to hire a private consultant to study the effectiveness of federalizing some or all contract security guards. A final report, with recommendations and cost estimates, would be issued within a year of the bill's passage. The House version of the bill would task the Government Accountability Office with the federalization analysis.
The 2010 SECURE Facilities Act is co-sponsored by the committee's ranking member Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.; Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce, and the District of Columbia Chairman Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii; and Subcommittee Ranking Member George Voinovich, R-Ohio.
In an April report from the Government Accountability Office, the watchdog reported that undercover agents were able to slip fake guns, knives and bomb-making materials past contract guards at 10 high-security facilities. The guards had not received mandatory X-ray and magnetometer training, GAO found. The agents then assembled the improvised explosive device in a public restroom, and were able wander the halls of the building.
In another incident, a contract guard accidentally sent an infant in a baby carrier through an X-ray machine. The agency fired the guard, but a court later reversed the decision when it was learned the employee had not received X-ray training.
A month after the April report was released, DHS replaced Gary Schenkel, who had served as FPS director since March 2007.

Throughout history, people have suffered discrimination and violence as a result of views such as racism or sexism. These beliefs have led to slavery and violence against women in the home, which are now seen as abhorrent by the vast majority of society but this wasn't true in the past. Amazingly, they were once thought natural and right in the belief that some humans were inferior. Discrimination such as sexism and racism have not disappeared but they are now being questioned and rejected by large sections of society.
"I received another dozen lashes, on the part of my back which was immediately above the bleeding and burning gashes of the former whipping... until I had received ninety-six lashes, and my back was cut and scalded from end to end. Every stroke of the whip had drawn blood; many of the gashes were three inches long; my back burned as if it had been covered by a coat of hot embers, mixed with living coals; and I felt my flesh quiver like that of animals that have been slaughtered by the butcher and are flayed whilst yet half alive." An American Slave, 1859
Today, most people regard non-human animals as inferior. But studies show that they too experience emotions and sensations that humans do such as anxiety, pleasure, intense pain, fear of dying or boredom and these feelings matter to them just as much as ours do to us. Despite this, other sentient beings are confined and killed for 'food', their bodies are used in experiments, their skins for clothing, their appearance or behaviour for entertainment. Our desire to use them for our benefit is considered more important than their right to their own bodies, and unable to defend themselves, they suffer and die in their billions.
"The cow was unable to stand, so they twisted her tail painfully and dragged her to the kill floor by a rope. She was hit on the forehead with a cattle stunner, and hoisted upside down by a chain around her back leg. When a worker stuck a knife in her throat, she regained consciousness. Pouring blood and fluid from her throat, mouth and nostrils, she struggled to breathe and to free herself, hanging from one leg, for a further minute and a half before the worker returned and slit her from her throat down through her mouth. He then proceeded to hack her face clean away as she writhed and kicked." Animal Equality activist, 2009.
Thinking that animals are inferior and we can use them solely because they were born with features such as fur or feathers instead of human skin is an irrational and unfair prejudice towards other species, known as speciesism. Speciesism overlooks our sameness - sentience - and as with racism and sexism, those without power suffer so that someone else can gain.
Most of society is blind to speciesism but as more and more people realise that non-human animals are not our property, and deserve to live free from exploitation by humans, they are deciding to go vegan. By choosing a varied plant-based diet free from animal products, wearing animal-friendly footwear and clothing, using vegan cosmetics and household products and entertaining ourselves without the use of animals we all move one step closer to a more peaceful and just society for all.
