Right away, we're reminded about the LG Lucid as we take a look at the LG Connect 4G, mainly because its sports a plastic body that's extremely compact for something donning a 4-inch display. Overall, it feels very solid in the hand, while being accompanied with a good amount of weight. Even though it doesn't boast a stunning design of some kind, we're content with its overall build quality and compact form.
Causing us to blink our eyes often, we're enchanted in many ways by its high-contract 4" WVGA (480 x 800) LCD display, which flaunts a piercing 700 nits of brightness. Despite not being classified as a NOVA display, we're enthralled by its strong brightness output and rich color production. No doubt, WVGA resolution isn't the shiniest thing in the stable nowadays, but nevertheless, it's sufficient enough for this beauty. More akin to being an upper mid-range smartphone, its dual-core 1.2GHz processor makes short work out of basic tasks, as it's able to maintain a good amount of responsiveness. Above all, MetroPCS customers will surely appreciate that this bundle of joy is packing support for LTE connectivity. As for the rest, it features a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, 1,540 mAh battery, 720p video recording, front-facing VGA camera, Bluetooth 3.0 with EDR, Wi-Fi, and the Optimus skin running on top of Gingerbread.
All in all, it's your better than average MetroPCS smartphone, which will satisfy those customers who simply tire of low to mid-range devices. Lastly, since it's outfitted with LTE connectivity, users are bound to enjoy its peppy data connections.

|SVT Interior Mods & Upgrades The place to chat about general questions, window tinting, exterior body, interior and lighting upgrades for the 2002-204 SVT Focus.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|hi im looking at some megan racing seats but i cant find the bolt pattern for a stock 2002 focus zx5?? can anyone help
|No problem man, just helpin' a fellow FF'er out. That would be nice to score some RS seats.
|Thxs Sonicsvtf. Great advice and I think I'll pass on the aftermarket seats because safety always comes first in my book. Maybe I can perform a little modification to the stock seats or score some sparco rs seats.
You ask there for you shall recieve.
The front going across is 8 5/8", the back going across is 9 3/8" and going from front to back is 10 3/4". The front mounts that bolt to the seat are at an angle so keep that in mind. These measurements are from the seat bracket to the seat and they appear to be square to each other.
Measurements from seat bracket/sliders to the body are 17 13/16" front going across 17" on buckle side going front to back 15 5/16" going front to back on the outer side(airbag side) 19" rear going across. These measurements are hard to measure since the holes are not square to each other since the front mounts are directly in front of the sliders and the rear mounts are on the inside and outside of the sliders. On the plus side at least these holes are flat and not angled to fit the body.
It sounds like you may be able to make brackets to bolt the existing focus seat brackets to the suede seats but keep in mind that you will loose the airbags in your stock seats and if you are not using the stock seat brackets you will also loose the seat belt pretensioners, any of these not being used will cause the airbag light to illuminate if that matters to you, just thought you should know that if you didnt allready.
The only way i was able to get these measurements are because i have a set of the EAP recaros in my bedroom right now that im getting ready to install as long as i can unbolt the stock brackets and use my brackets that are in my car right now since the brackets are FUBARed from shipping.
Good luck and keep us updated.
Svt seat bracket measurement?
I was at the Canadian International Auto Show and I found a vendor selling mint Suede letherette racing seats in blue and black suede for $300 cad. The seats have a bolt pattern 18' front to back and I was wondering what the stock measurement for SVT seats? Will I require a aftermarket bracket to make them fit? They're really nice seats for a great price. My car is stored for the winter and can't get measurments at hand.

Helicopter to free ship passengers trapped in Antarctic ice
SYDNEY (Reuters) - A helicopter from a Chinese icebreaker is set to lift passengers from a Russian ship stranded in Antarctic since Christmas Eve, putting an end to a nine-day international rescue cooperation.
The helicopter on the Snow Dragon has been waiting on standby for better weather conditions to start the rescue operation. The Chinese ship got within sight of the Akademik Shokalskiy on Saturday, but turned back after failing to break the ice, which was more than 3 meters (10 feet) deep in places.
Two other vessels, Australia's Aurora Australis and a French flagged ship, also tried to help but failed to reach the ship due to high wind and heavy snow.
"Weather conditions have improved in the area and rescue operations are likely to commence shortly by helicopter," the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), which is coordinating the rescue, said on Thursday morning.
Weather conditions were expected to remain favorable over the next 36 hours, AMSA said.
The Russian ship left New Zealand on November 28 on a private expedition to commemorate the 100th anniversary of an Antarctic journey led by famed Australian explorer Douglas Mawson.
It became trapped on December 24, 100 nautical miles east of French Antarctic station Dumont D'Urville and about 1,500 nautical miles south of Australia's southern island state of Tasmania.
Expedition leader Chris Turney on the Russian ship also said the weather looked like a helicopter operation was possible.
"Massive thanks to Australian, Chinese & French icebreakers for all their hard work!" Turney said on his twitter page. Continued...

I have been looking for a good comfortable running shoe for years. I finally found it. Put them on and out the door I went. No blisters or sore feet. Like running on air
I was looking for just this shoe. Found it here for the best price. My feet do not hurt, and my back does not hurt after walking for an hour in these shoes.
These sneakers are comfortable and a great value. The only drawback for me is the color of the laces, a bit too loud.
I purchased them about a month ago. Great shoe and the only brand that I purchase for walking/running.
I feel like I'm walking on a cloud in these shoes! They have excellent arch support and feel stable on my feet, but they are also lightweight and have a lot of cushion in the heel. I couldn't be happier with my purchase! And, they are so cute in top of that! Black goes with everything and the mint sole pops and makes it eye catching. All in all, a great shoe!
I love my shoes but I had to order online because store was out of stock and things are so hard to find in the shoe department. The shoes on display never have the coordinating shoes underneath them; it's frustrating. I will more than likely order online from now on because the service was great
I've been looking for a pair of running shoes that were comfortable and supportive. It seems like every pair I try on would rub my foot or the back of my heel in some way or another. When I tried these on, while having a different running shoe on the other foot, it was like night and day. It felt like I was wearing a very well cushioned sock, every part of the shoe was comfortable, whereas the other shoe rubbed right under my ankle bone. I highly recommend these shoes both for comfort and function.
My first pair of " cloth/woven" althletic shoes . Like the old school type with more support, however for plain comfort, and good looks, these are hard to beat. Especially like the color choice- comfort right out of the box and wore all day first time. Will buy again in about thee months if all goes well - suspect there will be a second purchase !
These shoes are lightweight, soooooooooooo comfortable, and I would highly recommend them for anyone needing comfortable shoes for possibly diabetic feet, or overweight so that feet hurt often, especially in the arches.....I'm just bowled over with the comfort and durability of these shoes. (I've had my pair for at least a year, and just ordered another pair, so that I have them before these wear out, though they are still in great shape.) I feared that, based on the price, they might not ... hold up, but they have not only held up well, but have continued to just be my "go to" shoe. I'm looking forward to getting the new pair I just ordered.
I bought these shoes about a month ago and I must say they feel great on my feet. When I go running in them; it feels like I have on thick socks! They are so comfortable and the soles of my feet don't get sore after I run; I am glad I made another great purchase on Academy.com
I bought these for my 75 yr old mother who wants to be barefoot all the time, but with significant osteoarthritis in her feet. I convinced her if she would wear good stable shoes while on hard floors her feet would likely be less inflamed and painful. She wore these out of the store and all day for the next 3 days. She wanted to cancel her appointment with the podiatrist on Monday because her foot pain was 95% reduced. This shoe has an ample toe box. The laces can be loosened across the ... instep, yet the shoe still feels secure. The sole is wide at the ball of the foot, giving more stability to the foot overall. Very stable, yet lightweight, shoe. I ordered a second pair for her immediately!
I bought this shoe after buying and trying numerous shoes. All ended up with my knees hurting, heels hurting, and not being able to complete some of my work outs. This shoe is by far amazing. Very glad I made this purchase, I haven't had any issues since purchasing this shoe.
I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes are great. Good support. Love the great colors.
This was my first running shoe, and its a great shoe!
Love Asics. All i wear and once again you made a great shoe. Thanks
Love these shoes! Great arch support and are long lasting! Highly recommend them!
Very comfortable and I love the color! They run a bit big, but it was perfect for me because i usually wear an 11 or 10 1/2 and they only came in a 10.
I already had a pair of these and just live them. Great workout shoe. I also have to wear arch inserts in my shoes and these have been the best fitting for them.
I love black running shoes and ASICS are my fav. I thought they were going to be great like most ASICS but they bothered my foot after wearing them 5 hours. So I am disappointed.
I've been a runner for 38 years & these are by far the most comfortable, cushy Asics shoes ever!!! I purchased 2 pairs & will be stocking up on more. Great for long distance running.
I am in LOVE with these shoes and they are worth every penny!!!!
The most comfortable shoe to date. Adidas is moving leaps and bounds above its competitors. I've got 11pairs and moving up!
I love my Brooks. I wear them to boot camp. They offer great support and comfort.
I brought this shoe and just ran my second Half-Marathon and I placed 5th in my age group! This shoe is excellent for running, its light and gives support through out the whole race!
Best shoes for me, love running with these. They have become my favorites since Brooks Ghost 4.
Purchased these sneakers a few weeks ago. Normally I have to break in new footwear but these sneakers are quite comfortable. Bought a half size up to allow for normal foot expansion after exercising and walking all day and I'm glad I did. A great value for a Nike shoe.
My husband and I purchased our shoes so we can start exercising again! Great, comfy, shoes!
I've now purchased 3 pairs of this sneaker. They fit me perfectly and I hope asics never stops selling them
Bought these for my wife and she loves them. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable. Shipping was quick too.
I have worn these tennis shoes for years...Compliments and Comfort!
I'm so happy I purchased these shoes, they're super comfortable!

You can get scentless Shea Butter from Wholefoods, however by this point it has been refined so much that a lot of the nutrients have been removed, but it still works well as a sealant.
Alternatively why not try whipping your current shea butter? I usually do so with coconut oil and some essential oils
Products in current rotation:
Terressentials Pure Earth Mud Wash; Elucence MBC (now really just for cowashing, leg shaving or emergencies); Curl Junkie: Repair Me, Deep Fix, Curl Rehab; AOHSR (retiring); Oyin Handmade: Honey Hemp, Hair Dew, J&B; Qhemet Biologics: BRBC (retiring- prefer Oyin HD), AOHC, OHHB; Jojoba Oil for scalp; Castor Oil or Shea butter to seal; Henna & Ayurvedic pastes when I can be bothered.
Still searching for the perfect stylers, but loving CJ CIAB over everything so far

Amid economic hard times, Venezuelans turn to city farming
By Diego Ore
CARACAS (Reuters) - Facing a national food crisis, Venezuela's pumpkin-growing socialist president is exhorting compatriots to grow fruit and vegetables on balconies and roofs and in barracks across the country.
His government's "Great Agro-Venezuela Mission" is promoting city farming to offset shortages which have led to lootings and riots as the OPEC country undergoes a major economic crisis.
"We need to plant to ensure food sovereignty," President Nicolas Maduro said, recounting how he and his wife harvested pumpkins on their patio for a soup that tasted "like heaven."
"He who learns to cultivate in his city, his school, his university, his factory, in his communal space ... cultivates another form of faith in life," he added, urging people to grow products in schools, military bases and even jails.
In the first data on the new push, Maduro's government boasts that in the last three months, some 135,000 Venezuelans have produced 273 tonnes of vegetables, fruits and herbs in urban settings.
The production seems well short of this year's goal of 3,500 tonnes, but some participants are enthusiastic.
"If all communities began to cultivate, it would help to combat the high cost of living and food shortages," said 69-year-old Luisana Galvis, a retired administrator who helps produce 30 different types of vegetable on a state-owned plot in a west Caracas slum. Critics, though, say the project is laughably inadequate given the scale of Venezuela's problems, and absurd in a vast and fertile nation that was once a major exporter of coffee.
"Forty thousand hectares of productive land in this country and Nicolas' solution is urban agriculture!" scoffed two-time opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles, who accuses the government of wrecking rural output with nationalizations. Continued...

It may not be Owensboro, Ky., but Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania has become like a home away from home for Jeremy Mayfield.
In his first season as the No. 1 driver for Evernham Motorsports following the semi-retirement of Bill Elliott at the end of last season, Mayfield has gradually gotten more comfortable in his role as the team's expected top dog. He's even comfortable helping Elliott to mentor rookie sensation Kasey Kahne.
But now it's time for Mayfield to do something for himself at his adopted home of Pocono. Currently in 15th place in the Nextel Cup standings after the first 13 races, an even 100 points out of the top-10 (and 466 behind series leader Dale Earnhardt Jr.), Mayfield hopes to build upon his past success there for Sunday's Pocono 500 in an effort to make a run for the final 10-race Chase for the Championship.
"At this point in the season, we're racing like there's no tomorrow," said Mayfield, who is 18 positions higher in the standings than he was at this point last season. "We're running hard every week. I think Dover (last week) is a good example -- we got wrecked and still came home eighth.
"We are focused on being in the deal come September, but we aren't points racing. When you sit back and go points racing, you're likely to get in more trouble than if you went out and raced hard. So, we're going all out.
"If we can just get in, I don't care if we're 399 within the leader (the top 10 cars have to be 400 points within the leader to qualify for the Chase). If we can just get in it's going to be big because the last 10 races are on our style of racetracks. We're counting on being there."
The driver of the No. 19 Dodge certainly has history on his side this weekend. Pocono was the site of his first Cup victory, back in 1998 and in his 125th career Cup start, when he dueled the late Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip, taking the lead for good with 20 laps to go and never looking back. Mayfield returned to Victory Lane two years later, bouncing back from a 22nd-place qualifying effort, to become only the eighth active driver in Cup competition to win twice at the venerable 2.5-mile tri-oval nestled in the Pocono Mountains.
"That first win is definitely the highlight of my career," Mayfield said.
And with Sunday being his 20th career start at Pocono, where he not only has two wins but also three top-five and seven top-10 finishes, Mayfield is ready to make some more history.
"I'm not sure what it is," he said when asked what makes Pocono so special and successful for him. "It's one of those places that early in my career I adapted to real quick. I like going there. I like racing there. It seems like my confidence level is up every time I walk into the gate. It's just one of the places I've always run decent at, but I've had some bad runs there, too. I'm either real good or real bad, but it's definitely a place I like."
Sunday's race should be an interesting study for Mayfield as well as the rest of the Evernham organization. He'll be driving his first Evernham-built chassis in the grueling 200-lap, 500-mile event.
"They've done a lot of testing on it, and Kasey ran it in the All-Star race and Bill has run it several times," Mayfield said. "It looks great and it's the product of a lot of great ideas. There's a lot of engineering behind it. The benefit of doing the chassis program in-house is that you can build things the way you want them. You can make the cars really consistent. The guys at the shop have done a great job of this -- every Dodge I get in feels the same and drives the same. Having an in-house chassis program takes this team to the next level up."
Mayfield still feels a tinge of disappointment from last Sunday's race at Dover, Del., but at the same time is using it as motivation coming into one of his favorite racetracks on the circuit.
At Dover, Mayfield started from the pole with a track qualifying record of 161.522 mph, led the race four separate times for a total of 78 laps, but was collected in a 19-car crash later in the race. Still, his team worked a near-miracle in the pits repairing Mayfield's Dodge while the race was stopped under red flag conditions, and he was able to come back out and salvage a respectable eighth-place finish.
"What helped us get over it was we still came out of it with a top-10," Mayfield said. "After all the stuff that happened we still finished eighth, and I think if that hadn't happened it would have been devastating. We ran good and still finished in the top-10 and we'll go on to next week."
For much of his career, Mayfield has played second fiddle to drivers like Rusty Wallace (when Mayfield was with Penske Racing) and Elliott (at Evernham Motorsports). Now he's Numero Uno -- but he hasn't forgotten the lessons he learned from his mentors, as he's trying to impart some of his knowledge upon Kahne. Obviously, Kahne is listening quite well: he's currently 12th in the standings, 28 points and three places ahead of Mayfield.
"I learned a lot of things from Rusty and a ton of things from Bill Elliott," Mayfield said. "Bill is a great teammate. Rusty was a great teammate. I've got a lot of respect for Rusty and what he's done. I hope one day all of that will pay off, and I think it will, whether it's me being able to translate it to Kasey or my own team or whatever. I'm hoping the experience I've gotten in that area will help both of us.
"I've seen a lot of different things with different race teams. I feel like I know it's an important role for me to be able to help, to be the conduit or bond the chemistry together with both race teams, with not only my team but with Kasey's team. The more the team sees the two drivers talking and communicating well with each other, it trickles down and it trickles out. It's just one of those things I know I've got a lot of responsibility as far as helping both of these race teams.
"I think right now it's as good or the best it's ever been. For me, it's certainly the best situation I've ever been in. Ray has done an unbelievable job as an owner, putting the right people in the right places to let the chemistry form. He's very good at that. He's certainly got a lot of talent for that, and I have a lot of respect for him doing that. The chemistry could not be better right now."
Even though he's ranked a respectable 15th, Mayfield knows he could be a lot higher in the standings. Following his best finish thus far this season, runner-up at Atlanta in this season's fourth race, Mayfield went into a nosedive, with just one top-10 finish (ninth at Darlington) in his next seven starts.
But while he could be higher, that doesn't mean Mayfield is not going to stop fighting. His mantra has become "losers quit when they get tired; winners quit when they win."
"I kind of live by that," Mayfield said. "There's a lot of little things you gather over the years from your experiences, and I believe in fighting until the end. We've done that every time. We've shown that a lot with this team this year."

ECB Considers Lowering Deposit Rate
The euro settled at $1.31 on Friday morning after taking a hit on Thursday following the European Central Bank's monthly meeting. The bank lowered interest rates by 0.25 percent on Thursday, causing the euro to waver, however it was Mario Draghi's press conference following the meeting that put the most pressure on the common currency.
The euro fell nearly one percent on Thursday after Draghi announced the rate cut and the possibility of further easing. According to Bloomberg, Draghi said the bank may consider reducing the deposit rate, something which the ECB has never considered before.
Draghi's comments indicated that he and the finance ministers believe the central bank is prepared for the fallout of negative deposit rates. If the ECB decides to take the deposit rate below zero, it could put downward pressure on the euro as banks would be encouraged to flood the financial system with euros.
Eurozone Manufacturing PMI also put pressure on the euro on Thursday after readings came in at 46.7 for April, down from 46.8 in March. The region has scored below 50, the number which indicates growth, for 21 consecutive months with no signs of improvement.
Even more concerning for the eurozone was Germany's reading, which showed that the region's largest economy's manufacturing activity fell for the second consecutive month. Since Germany has long been a large exporter, second only to China, the decline makes a big statement about how rapidly the eurozone's financial crisis is spreading.
Looking forward, investors will be waiting to see the eurozone's composite PMI, due out on Monday, for further clues about the region's recovery.

I find myself in a bit of a spot, dear readers, and I'm wondering what you all think.
Last night, my cell phone rang. It was my cousin Sheryl who, aside from my sister, is the only blood relative I have any kind of contact with.
My first thought was "who's dead?"
It turns out that Sheryl was visiting her father – my uncle – for his birthday and, during the course of her visit, had occasion to spend some time with our grandmother (our fathers' mother).
Gram has never understood the rift between my biological parents and me, despite my repeated attempts to explain and Sheryl's (spectacularly failed) efforts several years ago to get both sides to a place where reasoned, mature diologue could happen (after a couple of months, she gave up and conceded that I was right – there WAS no talking to these people).
Gram, it seems, is starting to come around, and mentioned to Sheryl that she thinks she might have a better understanding, after spending time with Sheryl's teenage daughter, of how badly my own childhood was handled. Sheryl, in her concise, Downeaster Maine way, put it thus: You were a kid. You were acting your age. Your parents were not.
ANYWAY, in the course of the conversation, Gram mentioned that my father had expressed to her a deep longing to have some sort of connection to my daughters (though, conspicuously, nothing was said about whether he wanted to reconnect with ME). Gram told Sheryl that my father has access to her email account and wondered if Sheryl would ask me to send some pictures that my father could see without my mother's knowledge.
My first instinct was to say "fuck, no!" but I backed off of that as I thought about it a little more. My father is in terrible health and, if his past is any indication of his present, he's profoundly isolated. I started to feel a little compassion and sympathy for him and thought, maybe, I'd send Gram a few new snapshots of the girls.
The more I think about it, though, the more I'm circling back to "fuck, no." The fact of the matter is that this man isn't man enough to come to ME to ask. In fact, he stated, on no uncertain terms, that he was completely done with me and that, in his mind, the only daughter he had was the one who died at birth (and yes, they actually said that). He's had nothing to do with me for nearly ten years, and has made no effort whatsoever to contact me in any way. Sheryl's efforts to get us together were met with stubborn and self-righteous resistance on their side (I was willing, though cautiously, to meet halfway in a safe and neutral place with a disinterested mediator). He was openly hostile to her, in fact, and I have heard, through one or two roundabout sources, that he's had nothing nice to say about me to anyone who'd listen for quite some time now.
My door has been firmly shut, but it's never been locked. I can't help feeling compassion for this man, who's been too weak to stand up for what HE wants in the face of his wife, but I also feel a fair bit of contempt for him, as well. If he wants to see my kids, he's going to have to do some work with ME first. Until then, I think I'll send email notes to my grandmother, but no pictures.

Just north of the Nation's Capitol on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C., stands a 10-foot statue of former Ohio Sen. Robert A. Taft.
The inscription on the tower reads: "This memorial to Robert A. Taft stands as a tribute to the honesty, indomitable courage and high principles of free government symbolized by his life."
What does that statue have to do with a state representative from Princeton, Minnesota?
Flash back to 1951.
Robert A. Taft, known as Mr. Republican, was running for the 1952 presidential post when he took it upon himself to visit every city of Taft in the United States.
That journey took him to little Taft, N.D., population eight, a train stop with a feed mill located four miles north of Hillsboro, N.D.
The eight residents of Taft were all from one family: a young girl named Sondra, her parents and five siblings.
Sondra Erickson's father was the manager of the mill. The family lived across the road from the mill. When Robert Taft came to visit Taft, N.D., it was Erickson's family to whom he paid a visit.
Sondra worked at the mill for her father.
"I was by my dad all the time. He prepped me on who Robert Taft was," Erickson said.
"My dad taught me my Republican principles at a young age," she said.
Sixty-one years later, Erickson is completing her sixth term in the Minnesota House of Representatives. She's a lawmaker whose father taught her about honesty, indomitable courage and high principles of free government.
Erickson was first elected to the House in a 1998 special election, held after Rep. LeRoy Koppendrayer resigned to accept an appointment to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission. She was re-elected in 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006. She was defeated by Gail Kulick Jackson in the 2008 election, losing by just 89 votes after a recount, but regained her seat in 2010, after unseating Jackson.
Erickson currently serves as chair of the Education Reform Committee, and also serves on the Education Finance, the Ethics, and the Taxes committees. Previously, she served as chair of the House Ethics Committee from 2003-2007.
Three things have been constants in Erickson's life: a commitment to her faith, a strong background in education, and an interest in business. That knack for business came from the years that Erickson worked with her father at the mill.
"He was a believer in a free market. It was my job as his assistant to help make money for the farmers," Erickson said.
As a teenager, Erickson listened to the radio to monitor grain prices. When the markets were up they would strike quickly and sell the farmers' grain.
She was also charged with checking out farmers' fields. She'd drive a 1948 Ford truck and visit area farms and carry the grain back to the mill. Her father was very particular about the quality of grain coming into his mill, so at age 14, Erickson had already learned to be very fussy, she said.
While in eighth grade, Erickson committed to a Christian relationship. She earned a scholarship to Concordia College in Moorhead and intended to pursue a life as a missionary, spreading God's word.
She minored in music and has a love for playing the flute. Her home is decorated with paintings, drawings and figurines of flutists.
But it was a path in education that Erickson would follow – just as her mother had before her. An academic advisor convinced Erickson that she had a gift and a calling to work with young people and be their missionary in the classroom. English is your strength, the advisor told her.
That led Erickson to Princeton.

text: About two weeks and approximately 1000 miles ago, my CTS-V XM radio lost all of the preset labels. The presets themselves were OK; that is, pressing the preset button took the radio to the correct channel. All of the labels had been replaced with channel numbers. Some of the numbers were correct, others were incorrect (e.g., some were labeled Channel 0). I restored the labels in the normal way by setting the radio to the channel and then holding the preset button until the label was set (e.g., Channel 40 changed to Deep Trac). The next day it happened again. I again restored the labels and waited to see what would happen on day three. The problem has not occurred again. Has anyone else observed this behavior?

Conference on the future of national and community service in the U.S.
Heightened interest on the part of the President and members of Congress in national service, along with growing concern about the low levels of participation by young people in political and civic life, suggest that it is time to consider the future direction of national and community service. Focusing attention on the value of national service may help to contribute to the success of the Foundation's Faith in Action program, which seeks to recruit volunteers of all ages to serve as informal caregivers to their neighbors in need through the interfaith coalitions that are being established in communities throughout the country. This grant provides partial support for a conference to be held in fall 2002 to stimulate new thinking about the future shape and purpose of national service in the U.S. Conference participants will include policy-makers, community leaders, social and health service providers, funders, and journalists. A series of commissioned papers that reflect different ideas across the political spectrum will be published and disseminated widely. The project will be considered successful if it generates an active debate among key policy-makers and opinion leaders about future options for national service. The conference sponsor is the International Center for Innovation in Civic Partnership, a new nonprofit organization that seeks to promote political and civic engagement through national service.

"We are very optimistic about the future," he said. "It's a very good appointment and hopefully we can have a better season than we did last time. I'm looking forward to going back to Liverpool.
"I watched Swansea last season and I always like to play like that, it's better for me. I'm only a goalkeeper, but that's my style and I find that easier. I think it will be very nice for Liverpool.
"He's going to need some time to implement his ideas. In football a manager needs to have some time to change things around.
"It's not going to happen in the blink of an eye, we have to give him time. He will bring new ideas and we have to very much pay attention to what he wants us to do when we return for pre-season training."

Table & Chairs Hang On Wall Pegs When Not Being Used [Pics]
A Dutch studio creates a kit of assembly materials to make deconstructable, flexible furniture.
For those with a limited amount of space and lots of creativity, the Dutch design studio, StudioGorm, has created a life-size kit of building parts that can be made into different pieces of furniture. The self-assembly kit called peg was inspired by many different kinds of international furniture styles, from Korean wall hung tables to the Shaker peg rail.
The simple components can be assembled in a variety of ways, much like the beloved children's toy, giving the home owner plenty of opportunity to "re-invent" their space often and to their specifications.
The materials exist only of Douglas Fir wooden pieces, laminated chipboard, upholstery and metal rods. All of the pieces fit on a peg board, mounted on the wall, so the room can be made completely bare.
For more pictures of various designs that the studio built, check out the gallery below and visit their website.

The Sixers survived their third-quarter collapse and bounced back in a big way to notch their second win in as many games, and their fifth on the season. They won this game with a tremendous defensive effort in the second half, and the fourth quarter in particular. Portland only scored 11 points in the fourth.
- I gave serious consideration to LaMarcus Aldridge for the player of the game nod, but I don't want to set a bad precedent. Aldridge did what Aldridge does, drift further and further from the hoop, play a generally soft game and use up a ton of positions to score his points. Thanks, LMA.
- Collins benched Turner for almost the entire second half, and he had a reason to. Turner is just completely lost right now and I'm not sure what the solution is. The only time he looked comfortable on the floor was when he made a nice defensive play under the hoop, pushed the ball himself, then found Jrue for a wide-open three. One suggestion would be to put the ball in his hands for a couple of plays per quarter when he's on the floor with Jrue and exclusively when Jrue isn't in the game with him.
- If I told you Iguodala would only take four shots and Jrue would foul out after playing only 23 minutes, how many of you would've guessed the Sixers would win the game? Me neither.
- Going into the game, I thought Jrue might have foul trouble considering he was guarding Andre Miller. The crazy thing about his game is that not one of the six fouls was committed on Miller. The kid needs to stay on the floor.
- The Sixers only attempted 66 field goals, a season low.
- If not for the 15 offensive rebounds Portland grabbed, this would've been a tremendous blowout.
- Brandon Roy is a shell of his former self.
- Thad was only 2/8 from the floor, but I thought he played some solid defense, especially in the fourth, and he grabbed 7 boards in only 22 minutes of work. Solid night without the scoring touch, a rarity for Thad and a good sign.
Player of The Game: Andres Nocioni. The mullet only played 16 minutes, but he had a tremendous effect on the game. 4/7 from the floor, 3/3 from three with 5 defensive boards and a +/- of +15.
Team Record: 5-13

A Sponsored Post from Hyland's Homeopathy
Like Atlas, she can uphold the weight of the world without flinching an inch. She can transform ordinary vegetables into delicious meals in minutes! With one gentle kiss she can melt away a bad day. Whether it's yourself, a friend, or your own mother, we all know of that amazing mom whose abilities rival that of any action hero. They are their families' first line of defense and most secret weapon. One Mother's Day a year is not enough time to celebrate these exceptional women. As a tribute to moms everywhere Hyland's has dedicated the DEFEND Cold & Cough line to the Action Hero Mom.
In celebration of her own Action Hero Mom, Thao Le, full-time mother, bedtime story teller, crusader of natural remedies, and Hyland's VP of Marketing shares a very personal story below. Please join us in thanking Thao for being so open.
Send some love to your Action Hero Mom by sharing her secret identity (ex: my mom, my sister) and her super power(s) on Hyland's Facebook page. Optional: for extra kudos to your Action Hero Mom, tag her in your post for her friends & family to see that she is your hero.
Thanks for sharing!

My Mom – The Zen Action Hero.
They always say that life comes full circle. We start as children and then we have children of our own. We look in the mirror and catch glimpses of our own mothers winking back at us. For me, there's nothing more moving than being reminded that I carry on the legacy of my mother. Hearing her wise words pass through my own lips from time to time still takes me by surprise.
Before I continue, let me be clear that my Mom is very much a part of my life everyday. Her 85 lbs, 4'10" frame is in the very next room as I type this. My children are fighting for her attention, no doubt. She is as much a hero to them as she is to me.
To tell her story is to share her conviction about the one thing in life she knows is more important than anything else – good health. How she arrived at this solid truth was via a road that was pretty tough, which is all the more reason why staying in good health has been her battle cry all these years. And, truth be told, as the VP of Marketing at Hyland's, it has become my battle cry as well.
Five years after immigrating to America from Vietnam, my father passed away from cancer. He was too young to die – only 42 years old. Mom was left to care for and support 4 children under the age of 11. She was in a new country and grieving the loss of the man she loved and the far away country she had known all her life. With both gone, she now only had the future to care about – a future that needed to hold the promise of her young children's happiness.
My Dad was an amazing doctor. But as my mother pointed out, he could not care for others when his own health failed him. Long hours of work, and the stress of establishing himself in a new country while his own parents were stuck in Vietnam, stole my father from us and put an undue burden on my mom.
My mom is the Zen Action Hero: she's not about showing her muscle or boasting about her superpowers. If you ask her, she probably wouldn't admit to having any. For her, it has always been about mind power, will power, and setting your heart on things that matter to you. She put us first – always. She is a hero to me for that reason alone. I still don't know how she put all 4 of us through the best available education while securing her own MBA at night. She is amazing to me.
You know how ducks look so peaceful while gliding on top of the water? That's how my mom comported herself through the world – and still does. But beneath the surface, she's paddled steadily all along the way, making sure she's taking good care of herself – and us.
So to all you moms who are watching out for your own well-being so that you can care for those you love – let us help you. When the first symptoms of a cold come on, use Hyland's DEFEND to get well quickly. Providing safe, natural and effective medicine for you is the very least we can do.

Malocclusion is more commonly known as crowded teeth, cross bite, overbite, under bite, or open bite. It is simply the misalignment of teeth. It is a common problem seen in most people at least to some degree.
How to identify Malocclusion
Even though most people do not have perfect alignment of their teeth, for some, the misalignment causes other more noticeable problems. A dentist should be consulted if any of the following symptoms occur together with poor alignment of teeth, in order to effect a proper diagnosis and treatment of Malocclusion.
- pain arising from pressure to the jaw
- problems in speech and ability to eat
- breathing through the mouth
- difficulty in keeping the lips closed
Types of Malocclusion
In 1899, Edward Angel identified three different categories of Malocclusion:
- Class I Malocclusion : This is the more widespread type of Malocclusion. In this type, the first molars are normal. However the other teeth are affected by problems in spacing, crowding, and over/ under eruption.
- Class II Malocclusion : In this type of Malocclusion the upper molars significantly overlap the bottom teeth.
- Class III Malocclusion : This is the inverse of class II where the lower jaw protrudes more than the upper, causing the bottom front teeth to overlap the upper ones
Causes of Malocclusion
Malocclusion can either be inherited from parents or acquired through bad habits:
Inherited Malocclusion : This is mostly the case. This type of Malocclusion is evident in there being less or more teeth, or space between the teeth, than appropriate. It is caused by irregular jaw size or shape or by unusual formations like cleft palates.
Acquired Malocclusion : A major cause of acquired Malocclusion is bad habits. The bad habits that children mostly succumb to, such as thumb/ finger sucking or tongue thrusting, are causes of Malocclusion. As such, monitoring of such bad habits by the parents and controlling the same can easily prevent this type of Malocclusion occurring.
Treatment of Malocclusion
- Use of Braces
- Removal of teeth
- Reshaping, and bonding or capping teeth
- Surgery
Malocclusion is commonly treated by using dental braces. The constant and gently pressure provided by braces will enable teeth straightening and help push teeth back to their correct position.
Braces consist of brackets that are fixed to the teeth, and wires that connect the brackets. Since the braces cannot be removed, extra attention should be paid in keeping the teeth clean and getting rid of food particles that are likely to get stuck in the braces.
This will help in instances of overcrowding, where it would make room for the other teeth to move to the correct position.
This will treat rough or irregular teeth removing resistance in forming a proper bite.
Requirement of surgery is rare. Surgery can be used to reshape the jaw or to stabilize the jaw bone through wires, plates or screws where required.
Malocclusion can be treated in the majority of cases. Consulting a dentist early when Malocclusion is suspected can ensure the proper and effective treatment which would help in maintaining proper dental health.

WOW am I mad.
Colorado Bureau of Investigation
This statute states that CO does not recognize out of state permits that are issued to non-residents of the issuing state. i.e. if I apply to get a FL permit I am not legal in cc for CO because I am a resident of CO and not FL.
SOOOO the jerks at the gun show last month who sold me on the idea of getting a FL permit (more states with reciprocity) either don't know what they are talking about or just royally screwed me over.
just a word of warning to anyone else who goes to the monthly gun show and is tempted to take a concealed carry class there. the class is fine, just don't waist 60 bucks for them to fingerprint you and 117 bucks to send off your app to FL.

About Beaverton CERT
Beaverton CERT is about readiness, people helping people, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number. CERT is an initiative and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens will be initially on their own and their actions can make a difference. Through CERT basic training, citizens can organize themselves and use spontaneous volunteers to manage utilities, put out small fires, provide basic medical first aid, and search for and rescue victims calmly, safely, and efficiently.
In the 2002 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush asked Americans to volunteer their services in order to improve and safeguard their country. Harnessing the spirit of cooperation that developed as a result of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the President created the Citizen Corps Program to organize volunteer services in the areas of crime, natural disasters, and terrorism. CERT is a part of the Citizen Corps Program. Learn more about the response team in CERT - Then and Now.
Concept Development & Need
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) concept was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD) in 1985. The Whittier Narrows earthquake in 1987, underscored the area-wide threat of a major disaster in California. Further, it confirmed the need to train civilians in order to meet their immediate needs. As a result, the LAFD created the Disaster Preparedness Division with the purpose of training citizens as well as private and government employees.
Program Expansion
The training program that LAFD initiated makes good sense and furthers the process of citizens understanding their responsibility in preparing for disaster. It also increases their ability to safely help themselves, their family, and their neighbors. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recognizes the importance of preparing citizens. The Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and the National Fire Academy (NFA) adopted and expanded the CERT materials, believing them applicable to all hazards.
CERT Responsibility
The CERT program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.
Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
Following a major disaster, first responders who provide police, fire, and medical services will not be able to meet the demand for these services. Factors such as number of victims, communication failures, and road blockages will prevent people from accessing emergency services they have come to expect at a moment's notice through 9-1-1. People will have to rely on each other for help in order to meet their immediate life-saving and life-sustaining needs. For this reason, the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) was developed.
What CERT Can Do For You
CERT members give critical support to first responders in emergencies, provide immediate assistance to victims, organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site, and collect disaster intelligence to support first responder efforts.

Brooks falsely claimed Clinton and Reagan approval ratings "were in the 20s"
Research ››› ››› SAM GILL
On the November 4 broadcast of PBS' NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, New York Times columnist David Brooks falsely claimed that during their presidencies Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan saw their job approval ratings fall to "the 20s." During a discussion with nationally syndicated columnist Mark Shields, Brooks argued that President Bush's recent slide in the polls is "not irreversible. Clinton was much lower than Bush is now. Reagan was lower." When Shields countered, "Not in the job ratings," Brooks replied, "They [Clinton and Reagan] were in the 20s."
Bush's lowest approval rating to date was a 35-percent mark in a CBS News poll from October 30-November 1 (with a margin of error of +/-3 percent). According to the polling archive of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, Reagan's lowest approval rating was also 35 percent, in a Gallup Poll from January 28-31, 1983. The Roper Center lists Clinton's low at a 36 percent, according to a Yank/Time/CNN Poll from May 26-27, 1993.
From the November 4 broadcast of PBS' NewsHour with Jim Lehrer:
SHIELDS: And George Bush was to be this pillar of integrity. He is now seen as morally and ethically inferior to Bill Clinton.
BROOKS: Yeah, but it's not irreversible. I mean, Clinton was much lower than Bush is now. Reagan was lower in Iran Contra.
SHIELDS: Not in the job ratings.
BROOKS: Well, they were in the 20s. But the point is, you've got to make some changes. And when you go back and read about the Reagan administration, you realize how fluid it was. They really did make big changes.

Rihanna Dethrones Lady Gaga as 'Queen of Facebook'
Rihanna has surpassed Lady Gaga's massive Facebook following to become the new "queen" of the social networking site.
RiRi reigns supreme, having just passed Gaga in number of Facebook fans — 40,523,918 to 40,514,982! The achievement earns Rihanna the honorary title of "Queen of Facebook" from social media statistical tracker FameCount.
Rihanna may be the most popular female on Faceboook, but as far as famous recording artists in general go, Rihanna still trails "King" Eminem, who rules with a whopping 43,232,641 Facebook fans.
And when it comes to the other social media monster, Twitter, Gaga wins with a record 11,632,837 to RiRi's meager 6,099,406 followers.

Great Coxwell Barn
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (March 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Great Coxwell Barn is a large 14th-century barn on the northern edge of the village of Great Coxwell, in Oxfordshire, England, though formerly in Berkshire. It is located in the Vale of White Horse near the market town of Faringdon.
Name and use[edit]
There is some dispute about the name of the barn: although nearby (old) signposts direct visitors towards the Great Coxwell Tithe Barn, the visitor's guide Munby (1996) published by the National Trust (the owner since 1956) is entitled Great Coxwell Barn.
When it was built, it was as part of a monastic grange under the control of Beaulieu Abbey, in Hampshire. As such the barn would have been used to store most, if not all, of the crop of the grange. Also crops were received, as tithes, to Beaulieu Abbey as rent from tenant farmers, for acreages owned by the Abbey. Beaulieu Abbey collected these tithes from tenant farmers and parishioners, who were obliged to deliver a portion of their crop to the barn. These tithes were recorded by a clerk who had his office inside the west door.
Since the barn is very large—the internal measurements of the main "hall" being 144 feet (44 m) by 38 feet (12 m)—it could be argued that the barn should be named the Great Barn - Great Coxwell. The barn is one of a number of barns termed great barns in Aston (2000):
The real glories are however the great barns (erroneously called tithe barns or by estate agents tythe [sic] barns). These were the warehouses of the Middle Ages where vast quantities of food was [sic] stored, and they show the skill and craftsmanship of the medieval workman at its best. The biggest are enormous – Bradford on Avon and Tisbury, Wiltshire, Great Coxwell in Oxfordshire ... (p107).— Aston
It is also noted as a favourite of the well known poet William Morris who described the Barn as "unapproachable in its dignity".[citation needed] He would often bring guests to marvel at its splendour.
The barn was part of the manor of Great Coxwell which was attached to the manor of Faringdon. This was originally a Royal manor given to the Cistercian monks by King John in 1203 for the founding of an abbey. The manor house or grange at Coxwell is believed to have stood opposite Court House Farm. The centre of Faringdon Manor was at Wyke, a now lost grange and site of the abbey, just north of the town. The abbey moved to Beaulieu, Hampshire in the New Forest but Faringdon and its granges remained under its control. The barn is now in the care of the National Trust.
The barn, built in the first decade of the 14th century, is constructed of Cotswold stone and the roof is constructed of Stonesfield slate. The barn is aisled, to support the massive roof. There is a dovecote over the door of the east porch. The floor area is 5,502 square feet (511.2 m2).
Also note the interesting carved graffiti on the stone structural supporting columns. Similar carvings can be found in the local parish church of St. Giles.[citation needed]

It's only 86 days until Christmas! How did this happen? I wrote about reducing holiday stress back in July so you'd think I'd be on top of things. However, things have been crazy and I have done very little. There is still time to prepare before the holidays but it's running out quickly.
Yes I know many of you don't even want to hear about Christmas yet. I've seen many people ranting about Christmas decor already being out. I like seeing Christmas decor come out early because it allows me to prepare early and enjoy the holiday season more!
My best holidays have always been the ones where I stayed on top of prep work and was done by December. Last Christmas was so stressful because I didn't prepare early. I didn't even get Christmas cards sent out! I don't want to let that happen again this year. This year I want to do the fun stuff in December, not rush around getting everything done.
I'm going to keep this simple and give you just a few things to do for now. This short list will make a big difference when the holidays are here.
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. I was not paid for this post and all thoughts are my own.
7 Ways to Prepare Early for a Stress-Free Holiday
1 ) Sign up for the 14 Day Ready for the Holidays Challenge. The challenge won't start until November 1st but sign up now so you don't forget. This step will take you just a minute.
2 ) Read 7 Ways to Simplify Your Holidays. This is a great eBook that will help you find ways to simplify your holidays and reduce stress.
3 ) Finish getting your holiday binder set up. This is a great place to keep your budget, gift lists, and all of those things. Get it ready so you can start filling it out. You can find another great Christmas planner over at Brocante Home.
4 ) Get your Christmas cards ordered. If you are ordering Christmas cards get them now so you won't be rushed. If like me you like to hand-make them you better get started (this is a note to myself as well! I haven't started yet, oops!).
5 ) Keep an eye on sales, especially for high price items on your list. This can save you a lot of money and time. No one wants to rush to buy gifts. And of course be saving money for the holidays!
6 ) Check out The Christmas Countdown: Thirty Days to Festive Bliss. It's a great book packed with info to help you have a blissful Christmas.
7 ) Go through your Pinterest or magazine clippings and make notes of decor that you would like to find before you decorate. If you are the crafty type have a list of supplies you need.
Be sure to also check out my other tips on Reducing Your Holiday Stress. The holidays should be a time of joy, not stress. Doing a little work now will help you relax and enjoy your friends and family during the holidays.
How are you preparing early for the holidays? I'd love to hear your tips in the comments.

I was about to unburden myself completely; the heart trembled.
The minute he saw me, he stretched his arm out—'Mr. Roy,' says he, 'I'm sick to unburden myself to somebody'; and he up and told.
She had thought it all out carefully, and realized that she must unburden to some one.
Let's walk around the campus twice, while I unburden my soul.
It was a relief to him to unburden his mind, and Riddell encouraged him to do it.
Let me but confess, explain, ask forgiveness, unburden myself.
She kept silent to give him an opportunity to unburden himself.
There is a remorseful experience of my own, of which I should be glad to unburden myself to the reader.
He surprised her very often, he was in such a hurry to unburden himself of all he was.

Chateau Ste. Michelle Canoe Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Cabernet Sauvignon from Columbia Valley, Washington
Winemaker's Notes
The Canoe Ridge Estate Cab is a beautifully balanced wine thatoffers a classic, fresh expression of Horse Heaven Hills fruit. The wine offers black current flavors, hints of sage and elegant tannins. The cooler vintage in 2010 led to an enhanced "Old World" restrained elegant character.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Also beautifully complex and slightly more focused, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Canoe Ridge Estate is a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance a mix of Merlot, Syrah and Malbec. Coming from vines planted in 1991 and located in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA, close to the Columbia River, it delivers notions of red and black fruits, spice box, flowers and background herbs along with a medium-bodied, richly textured mouthfeel that carries solid depth and ripe tannin. More forward and approachable than the Cold Creek Vineyard, it should drink nicely over the coming 4-5 years. Drink now-2018. "
Wine Spectator - "Supple and distinctive, with meaty overtones to the core of rich currant and coffee flavors, lingering on the polished finish."
Wine Enthusiast - "This 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance of Merlot, Syrah and Malbec, is immediately accessible with notes of char, roasted coffee bean and cherry. The palate is rich, chocolaty and seamlessly stitched together."
International Wine Cellar - "Good dark red. Musky currant, licorice, cedar, sage and a whiff of chocolatey reduction on the nose. Fairly smooth, pliant and deep, boasting good richness to its redcurrant, herb and milk chocolate flavors. Plenty of sexy oak here but it's supported by ripe fruit. Finishes with suave, edge-free tannins and lovely lingering sweetness."

Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery
Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest winery in Washington with some of the most mature vineyards in the Columbia Valley. The winery combines Old World winemaking with New World innovation and is best known for its award-winning Riesling, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Chateau Ste. Michelle receives some of the highest accolades in the industry, including "American Winery of the Year" by Wine Enthusiast for 2004 and "2005 Winery of the Year" by Restaurant Wine. In addition, the winery's Eroica Riesling, crafted from a partnership with German winemaker Ernst Loosen, has been named to Wine Spectator's prestigious "Top 100" wines list for five consecutive years.
Chateau Ste. Michelle is one of the few premium wineries in the world with two state-of-the-art wineries, one devoted to whites and another to reds. This dedicated approach to winemaking allows winemaker Bob Bertheau to build winemaking programs to the unique specifications of red and white wines. While all of Chateau Ste. Michelle's vineyards are located on the east side of the Cascade Mountains where the climate is dry and sunny, Bob Bertheau makes the award winning white wines in Woodinville, 15 miles northeast of Seattle. The winery's expansive, 87-acre estate hosts more than 250,000 visitors annually for tours, tastings, dinners and outdoor summer concerts. View all Chateau Ste. Michelle Wines
About Columbia ValleyView a map of Columbia Valley wineries
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About WashingtonRelated Links:Now the number two producer in the United States, Washington State has also grown in quality.
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

Last week featured two home games against Portage Northern and Zeeland.
The first game against Portage Northern, April 24, featured nine goals in the first quarter of play. This really decided the game, which led to Ram victory with a final score of 14-1. This team continues to get excellent senior leadership from Maddie Levine, Hollis Wyatt, Julia Ceglowski, Case Wolfer, Abby Finlayson and Morgan Longberg.
Later in the week, April 26, Zeeland made its way to the Rockford pool only to find a Ram team that was set on redeeming one of the few losses for this team in the 2012 season. Rockford opened the first quarter with a commanding 3-0 lead with goals by Kara Vanderwater, Wolfer and Adrianna Craft. Zeeland made a nice comeback in the second quarter and the halftime score was Rockford 4, Zeeland 3.
Coming out of halftime, the Lady Rams took control of the game with three goals, which resulted in a final score of 9-4. =Scoring in the second half were Craft, Levine, Longberg and Vanderwater.
Rockford hosted a weekend tournament that brought in excellent competition from Michigan and Illinois. The Rams were up to the task and completed a 4-0 weekend.
The first game was against Hudsonville, who have played the Rams tough this season. The first quarter featured two goals by Levine and a goal by Wolfer.
In the second quarter, Vanderwater and Craft tallied a goal apiece to end the first half with a commanding 5-2 lead. Scoring in the second half to complete an 8-4 victory were Longberg, Wolfer and Wyatt.
For the second game, the Lady Rams took on Ann Arbor Pioneer. The first quarter onslaught of six goals decided this game early on, leading to final score of 10-2. Scoring in the game for the Lady Rams were Wolfer (four), Craft (three), Levine (one), Longberg (one) and Vanderwater (one). Another fine performance in goal by Ellianna Raymond limited Ann Arbor to two goals.
The third game featured defending state champion Okemos. This was a very tight game and featured tremendous play from both teams. Craft scored two first-quarter goals to give Rockford a 2-1 lead.
In the second quarter, goals by Vanderwater and Wolfer provided a 4-3 halftime lead. Rockford scored three times in the third quarter—Wolfer (two) and Craft (one)—which sealed the final 7-5 win. A fine defensive effort held this high-powered Okemos team to five goals.
The final game featured Illinois State Champion Fennwick. Again the results were the same with the Lady Rams securing a 9-8 victory.
The first quarter was a back-and-forth game with three goals coming from Craft and a 3-3 game. The Lady Rams found themselves down a goal at halftime, 4-5, but did not panic.
The third quarter featured goals by Marie Siegel, Wolfer and Vanderwater, putting Rockford up, 7-5.
The final quarter came right down to the wire, but the Lady Rams were able to secure the win by adding two much needed goals by Wolfer and Craft. This win capped off a truly remarkable week of water polo for the Lady Rams.

Its nice to look at but you get the feeling from that review that Sony have gone for style over substance in the spec department. Sony seem to be trying to compete with Apple in making the most "stylish" laptop and shoot themselves in the foot with pricing much like Apple do.
The FW model reviewed here is over a year old. It's just had a spec upgrade (the 4th update hence the FW4 prefix), other than that the actual design is the same as last summer.
I've used one of the FW machines before, they are very good for the home user. I'd sooner pay a bit more for the Vaio brand than plump for a bloody Dell.
The FW series seriously isn't in the same league as any Apple product. Unlike with Apple style and build quality aren't quite as impressive, so you're really JUST paying for the brand here.
Would you really rather have a Sony badge than a significantly faster CPU, more RAM, 64-bit OS, far better graphics and Blu-ray from the second-biggest computer manufacturer in the world (Acer, never mind Dell), and pay MORE for the privilege?
Ardjuna, no but I pick a laptop to suit my needs. I current use a Vaio Z series & a MacBook (aluminium 2008 model). My preference is with the Vaio brand at the moment, so should I decide to get a new machine I'd be looking at the Vaio range before looking elsewhere.
It's not just about the specification for me. I find the screen, keyboard & build quality on my Vaio exceptional. The fact that it came with a 3 year warranty was another important factor. Sometimes it's worth paying a bit more for what I believe to be a premium product.
Regarding the FW model reviewed, I don't require huge processing power, so I would opt for the FW over the Dell/Acer/HP equivalent should I be in the market for a laptop like this.
It's all about personal preferences at the end of the day...
Always nice to get a reply, and your point about personal preferences is certainly true enough.
We agree that the VAIO Z is a great machine, as you can see: http://www.trustedreviews.c.... Just keep in mind it's not indicative of the quality of Sony's entire range, though aside from the high price there's not much wrong with the FW.
£645 for something that is stylish and a decent performer seems to be alright. While the Acer offers better spec, at the end of the day it is much like buying a car. Sometimes people pay a little bit more for looks.
I do find Monkey's comment funny. Can you get a 16" notebook for £742 from Apple?
i keep looking at my macbook keyboard and this keyboard and still can't figure why apple don't put those extra keys on their machines (end, pg up, pg down, a friggin' delete button)
and why the fn key is still in the wrong place.
I love this Vaio Laptop, my cosine bought one from this <a href="http://vaiousa.com/"&g... Brand Laptops Website and I think they have the best price on the market.
I am thinking of getting this now as the prices have decreased. May be able to get it for around the £570 mark.
I've been using this laptop for a year now and would completely recommend it. I paid £599 in Sept 2009 and have since written a dissertation on it - which was a very easy process, and yes though the keys at first seem a little far apart you get used to this very quickly.
My one complaint may be that the media short-cut keys don't have a mute button in them, so I've had to store the mute function as the programmable function button. (s1)

Hey guys! Pretty sure I'm not your typical new member , I actually drive a 2003 Mustang V6 lol.
The reason I joined was because I am looking to sell the six and buy a WRX. I can't really decide if I want a 2003-2004 STI or a 2009 WRX sedan. I'm not going to turn this car into a track beast, just looking for a nice looking decently powered car that has potential for more if I do decide to go to the track now and then.
Here's what my Mustang looks like, let me know what you guys think and also what your opinions are about the STI vs WRX.

Hello viewers,
I recently bought one of Fett Seven's Jetpacks that he painted. It's a ROTJ jetpack and I absolutely love the pack. It's always surprising how long it takes to complete a fett project but I am slowly ticking away.
Things that I want to accomplish:
• Aluminum Beacon/Stabilizer with light
• Replace screws with magnets for fast access to light switch
• jetpack hooks (please help me with this)
I bought the beacon and stabilizer from ECO. You would be shocked how quickly items can arrive from Europe the the US!
The magnets I bought from my local Ace Hardware and I used a dremel to widen the holes in the backplate. CAUTION: be very careful sanding magnets. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BREATHE HEAVY METAL. Listening is ok but do not breathe it.
Attachment 68100Attachment 68101Attachment 68102
Attachment 68103Attachment 68104Attachment 68105
Attachment 68106
Fett Seven supplied me with plastic components. I just reviewed source photos of Boba Fett and then drilled the holes I needed for the aluminum bits.
The light requires a bit more modification. I found this video on youtube from a user here. He used "Mini-Max Safety LED" Flashlights. I found a five pack on eBay. To get this to work you will need to break the housing apart (very easy and you have 4 more to work with if you mess up!). The tricky part for me was cutting off the LED and leaving enough room to solder wires to the existing wire. I'm terrible with soldering onto boards...but if you are good then you will finish this FAR FASTER then me.
Once you cut the LED off Solder enough wire so that you can connect the body of the flashlight (including the switch) onto the jetpack. I cut those wires in half since the LED wouldn't slide through the Beacon. After sliding everything through (and INSIDE THE JETPACK mind you) I soldered the wires together. Bolt everything together and you are good to go.
Then just modify the back panel for magnets. The metal piece that Fett Seven attached to the jetpack to catch the screws is magnetic so I didn't actually add magnets there. I recommend using a Dremel for sanding the magnets. Your metal dust should either stick to the dremel or the magnet.
Thank you for reading and thanks to everyone for your pieces. Now to try and get a hold of BooBooFett for a set of his AMAZING hooks...

Excesive oil consumption
Just bought a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara with 94k miles on it from a dealership. Went in 4 my first oil change 5000 miles later n found out it was 4 quarts low. Is this normal? It's the 3.8 V6.
Was it low to begin with? I have a 2008 Wrangler X and it goes through 2 quarts extra every 5000 miles. Not sure if that's normal to go through 4.
Good question. I am starting 2 think it was. I hav gone 600 miles since topping it off and am down less than half a quart. I never checked it at the dealership when I bought it. U can bet next time I will!
in 600 miles you shouldn't be down any discernible amount of oil. 1000 if you are using oil maybe, but not 600. Time to do a leak down test, then check your valve guides... although you generally would notice a puff of smoke on startup with the valve guides. A general rule of thumb, no matter what you drive, is check your oil, all other fluids and tires once a week. Make a habit of it. This is how vehicles last multiple hundreds of thousands of miles. not to brag, but my 98 Grand Cherokee is close to 300K and still going strong, on the original un-rebuilt engine
