The Impact of War
Groups Reach Out To A New Generation Of Veterans
Given the higher rates of substance abuse among the current generation of veterans, the idea of meeting up with other vets over a beer is increasingly outdated. Moreover, these younger vets are joining traditional veterans groups in fewer numbers each year. So a new generation of vets groups, including Dryhootch in Milwaukee, are trying to draw these young vets in — and keep alcohol out of the equation.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News.
Across the country, veterans groups - including the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion - are having a hard time attracting vets from America's more recent wars. The American Legion alone has closed down 2,000 posts over the past decade.
From member station WUWM, Stephanie Lecci reports on a new group in Milwaukee that is reaching out in a novel way.
STEPHANIE LECCI: Since last year, the VFW has lost about 100,000 members, and closed about 100 posts across the country. Over at the American Legion, fewer than 8 percent of its members are veterans of the Gulf Wars. So Vietnam veteran Bob Curry decided to try something new to attract the generation of vets who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Mr. BOB CURRY (Founder and Executive Director, Dryhootch of America, Milwaukee): We don't try to displace any of these other veteran groups. But remember, these older groups kind of stagnated at the Vietnam veterans. So it was World War II and Korea.
So a number of them are closing down because they have no membership. So they're a generation that's - oh, my God - like grandpas to the current generation. And then mention Twitter and Facebook, and you've totally lost them.
LECCI: What Curry started is called Dryhootch of America. But unlike thousands of VFW and American Legion posts, Dryhootch is exactly that: dry. Instead of serving alcohol, it runs a coffee shop on the first floor of a small, converted house off of Milwaukee's lively Brady Street -dotted with boutiques, restaurants, and lots of bars. Curry says it's important for vets to be able to reconnect without the booze.
Mr. CURRY: How many of us have struggled? I struggled with addiction. How many committed suicide? So out of there, we banded a group of vets who decided that if anybody could help another veteran, it would be vets. And so now, it's been partnering with what we call our younger brothers and sisters to help each other out in whatever way we can.
LECCI: That dry emphasis reflects how alcohol abuse is becoming a major problem with younger veterans. The federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration says nearly 20 percent of the current crop of vets suffer from some sort of anxiety disorder or depression.
Dr. David Rudd is the scientific director at the National Center for Veterans Studies. He says a lot of those vets self-medicate with alcohol.
Dr. DAVID RUDD (Scientific Director, National Center for Veterans Studies, University of Utah): They're symptomatic soldiers who are struggling, ordinarily with post-trauma symptoms and depression. And you add alcohol into the mix, and you take a disinhibited population, disinhibit them even further - make them more impulsive through the use of alcohol - and it escalates the probability of a bad outcome.
LECCI: Rudd says avoidance is a big issue for many of these veterans. That's where Dryhootch's laid-back model comes in handy when reaching out to clients. And its peer-to-peer counseling programs have received some federal grants.
Counselor Mark Flower says his goal is to engage veterans without pressuring them.
Mr. MARK FLOWER (Peer Mentor, Dryhootch of America, Milwaukee): Our hope is that when they come in through the door, they have a cup of coffee; they kind of maybe read some literature - instead of having them have to, let's say, go to the VA, walk through that door, and it's like a commitment. And there's that admitting that there's something wrong.
LECCI: Dryhootch's interactive website is spreading its model to veterans groups across the country, and there are plans for expansion in Wisconsin later this year.

Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in this year's Oscar Party.
This year's Oscar Night America party to benefit the Hawaii International Film Festival was a definite success. We had close to 300 people attend at the newly remodeled Royal Hawaiian Hotel. over 100 silent auction items that ranged from an engraved 2009 Oscars bottle of champagne, a briefcase by Louis Vuitton, hotel stays, restaurant and salon gift certificates, prints by Hawai'i artist Peggy Chun, to props from Leatherheads and House.
We were also mentioned by Roger Ebert in his recent Oscar review, here's an excerpt. See the complete list of winners on our website here.
Japan's "Departures" was the somewhat surprising winner of the foreign film category. Unseen in the United States, except at the 2008 Hawaii Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award, it tells the story of an unemployed cellist who finds work as a funeral expediter and counselor. Credit for the award is perhaps due to an academy reform requiring all voters to have seen every film in the category.
Also, don't forget that our Spring Showcase this year will be held from April 3-9, at the Dole Cannery Theaters. More information on the films we'll be screening will be coming very soon.

New Electric Buses Are Wirelessly Recharged By City Streets
South Korea has rolled out the world's first road-powered electric vehicle network.
Hailed as the future of transportation, electric vehicles have failed to woo the masses mainly because they can easily run out of power miles before reaching a recharging station. Trials of wireless charging have been taking place for some time, with on-the-go recharging mostly still in the research phase. Said to be the first network of its kind in the world open for regular use, a pair of Online Electric Vehicle (OLEV) motorbuses can recharge by driving over specially-equipped asphalt in Gumi, South Korea with technology originally developed by scientists at the KAIST Graduate School for Green Transportation.
Electric cables just beneath the road's surface transfers power electromagnetically to the coach, rather than stopping from time to time to power up. The technology is similar to that of charging mats for smartphones, in that it also relies on electromagnetic conduction. The charging works both while the buses are driving and when they're sitting still. Currently, the public transportation route takes the electric motorcoaches on a roundtrip journey of roughly 15 miles or (24km). Road-powered electric vehicles are exciting because they only require small batteries, significantly reducing their overall weight and thus their energy consumption. KAIST's Dong-Ho Cho commented:
It's quite remarkable that we succeeded with the OLEV project so that buses are offering public transportation services to passengers.

Assessing the impact of floods and flood legislation on residential property prices
Eves, Chris, Blake, Andrea, & Bryant, Lyndall (2010) Assessing the impact of floods and flood legislation on residential property prices. In International Real Estate Research Symposium (IRES), 27 - 29 April 2010 , Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur. (Unpublished)
Submitted Version
(PDF 462kB)
The changing development and population sprawl in major cities, especially those located in high rainfall areas, has resulted in the need to review and re-assess potential flood impacts in these cities.
In many cases these new flood lines and flood maps have placed residential property that was previously considered to be flood free to now be considered to be potentially flood liable.
Previous research based in Sydney and the UK has identified the fact that residential property that has been subject to flooding has a decreased price and higher investment risk than flood free property in the same location. These studies have also shown that the greatest impact on residential property subject to flooding is just following a flood event.
In June 2009, Brisbane City Council released revised flood maps for the Greater Brisbane region and these maps have identified areas that have not previously been considered flood liable.
This paper will analyse the sale performance of flood liable streets in the main flood areas of Brisbane over the period January 1990 through to June 2009, to determine the variation in price for these flood liable areas to the residential property immediately adjoining them. The average sale price will be tracked on both a geographic location and socio-economic basis.

Hi guys, I own an Audi A3 3 door Hatchback. When it rains, the spare tyre well fills up with water, a lot of water actually.

A friend of mine took her 2008 A3 to an auto tire repair shop to get a new fuel pump put in. I told her it would be a big mistake but she went for the lesser money. To make a long story short the monkey didn't know what he was doing when he messed with the electrical system when he was running a service check and he tripped her computer and it says the top is not secure when it is closed and it will not open. I know where the key is and I know it goes somewhere in the trunk but I do not know where. So can I PLEASE get some info help on these two problems. I don't want to have to take it to the dealer again this will be the fourth time in 5 months.

1) In our opinion, unlike the rest of the world, charity in Russia isn't enough developed now and is only in its embryonic state. We're trying to encourage charity development in Russia, including attraction of foreign contributions.
2) Now the major part of Russian charity funds has some restrictions of minimum donation amount (about 5 USD). That's why we propose to donate no more than that amount. If you want to donate more, we propose to do it yourself on fund website http://www.podari-zhizn.ru/. In this way all the amount will be sent to children.
Donation amount
To make a donation, download a paid program for 1, 3 or 5 USD at Android.Market (click one of the buttons below).
According to Android.Market rules, about 30% cost of any program is transferred to Google. 1% of amount we'll use for the development of this and other programs for gathering charity donations. That's why, unfortunately, we'll be able to send to the fund only 69% of your donation.
On a monthly basis, since we collect the first 100$, the donation amount to "Grant Life" will be published on website http://www.androidforwoman.ru with reference to fund documents.
Thanks for your donation!

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is projecting that Green Bay Packers running back James Starks (turf toe) may not make it through the first round of cuts. On Monday, teams will have to trim their rosters from 90 to 75 players. With the recent addition of free agent Cedric Benson , this could lead to the end of Starks' career with the Pack. Starks is in competition with Benson, Alex Green and Brandon Saine.
Fantasy Analysis:
Starks should've had a breakout last year but it never clicked. If he doesn't make the cut, it's a wide open race in Green Bay and fantasy owners should familiarize themselves with the running back depth chart. Benson will likely need to shake some cobwebs, which could open the door for another young player. The Packers' running game is, to put it simply, unreliable so even if Starks sticks around, the eventual No. 1 back isn't that valuable.

A.J. Feeley, who has a roster spot reserved for himself, came out firing and put up nice numbers, especially for a guy who just got to town. Feeley (9-of-12, 131 yards) will be the number three quarterback behind Donovan McNabb and Jeff Garcia. Timmy Chang didn't do too badly, but won't find himself among the top three QBs.
The receiving corps is wildly up in the air.
Darnerian McCants (4 catches/69 yards) and Jason Avant (3 catches/55 yards) had nice nights and came out of the game feeling good about their chances. McCants, said that he won't sweat out the final moments. "I've said before, it's not in my hands, so I'm not going to worry about it. I don't make those decisions." Jabar Gaffney (3 catches/28 yards) kept the heat on in his pursuit of a roster spot with the team.
One thing that could help McCants, who appears to be battling with Gaffney for the final spot, is that he plays well on special teams, which the Eagles emphasize. Gaffney isn't on the special teams unit, which could lessen his value. McCants also made a beautiful grab on a key 23 yard pass from Feeley that put the Eagles on the Jets' one-yard line.
In the backfield, Ryan Moats (15 carries/65 yards/1 TD) and Bruce Perry (10 carries/37 yards) got the bulk of the action and both are hopeful of winning a spot. Thomas Tapeh followed lead blocker, rookie center Nick Cole, into the end zone, playing his part on the Eagles' goal line offense. That duo could become a key part of the Eagles offense, with the 350 pound Cole blowing open holes up the middle in key spots.
The biggest winner from Friday night appeared to be McCants, who continues to be confident in his abilities to help the team. Even though they had never played together, McCants and Feeley seemed to get into a rhythm that led the Eagles offense. "I'm still learning the receivers' names, so I couldn't tell you who I was throwing to and who I wasn't throwing to," said Feeley after the game. As for McCants, he agreed that who is doing what doesn't matter if everybody just does their job. "It doesn't matter who it is. If the ball's in the air, I have to catch it," said McCants.
The Eagles will make their final cuts Saturday to get down to their 53 man roster.

The new comedy Enlisted (Friday, 8:30 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13) is about three brothers serving at an Army base in Florida.
Give it a chance. It's sort of dumb when it starts out, but by the end of the pilot I was laughing.
True Detectives (Sunday, 10 p.m., HBO) couldn't possibly be more different from "Enlisted," except that it, too, starts out slowly so you'll need to give it a chance.
Matthew McConaughy and Woody Harrelson star as Texas police detectives caught up in a gruesome crime. The narrative jumps around in time - 17 years from one end to the other - in each episode.

plays the music you love
Milt Jackson
Milt Jackson started on guitar when he was seven, and piano at 11; a few years later, he switched to vibes. He actually made his professional debut singing in a touring gospel quartet. After Dizzy Gillespie discovered him playing in Detroit, he offered him a job with his sextet and (shortly after) his innovative big band (1946). Jackson recorded with Gillespie, and was soon in great demand. During 1948-1949, he worked with Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Howard McGhee, and the Woody Herman Orchestra. After playing with Gillespie's sextet (1950-1952), which at one point included John Coltrane, Jackson recorded with a quartet comprised of John Lewis, Percy Heath, and Kenny Clarke (1952), which soon became a regular group called the Modern Jazz Quartet. Although he recorded regularly as a leader (including dates in the 1950s with Miles Davis and/or Thelonious Monk, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, and Ray Charles), Milt Jackson stayed with the MJQ through 1974, becoming an indispensable part of their sound. By the mid-'50s, Lewis became the musical director and some felt that Bags was restricted by the format, but it actually served him well, giving him some challenging settings. And he always had an opportunity to jam on some blues numbers, including his "Bags' Groove." However, in 1974, Jackson felt frustrated by the MJQ (particularly financially) and broke up the group. He recorded frequently for Pablo in many all-star settings in the 1970s, and after a seven-year vacation, the MJQ came back in 1981. In addition to the MJQ recordings, Milt Jackson cut records as a leader throughout his career for many labels including Savoy, Blue Note (1952), Prestige, Atlantic, United Artists, Impulse, Riverside, Limelight, Verve, CTI, Pablo, Music Masters, and Qwest. He died of liver cancer on October 9, 1999, at the age of 76. ~ Scott Yanow

Canadian opposition report critical of oil sands
By Jeffrey Jones
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Opposition members of a Canadian parliamentary committee released a sharply critical report on oil sands development on Wednesday, saying governments and industry were in denial about the impact on fresh water.
The report by Liberal Party members of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development said there was ample evidence that oil sands projects in northern Alberta were polluting a regional watershed and that Ottawa was not doing its duty to manage the impact.
The Liberals released their own report after the all-party committee could not agree on conclusions after 18 months of testimony by industry members, politicians, environmentalists and scientists on the impact of oil sands development on fresh water.
The document, which largely addresses issues involving the Athabasca River system, fueled the latest controversy in a protracted battle over developing Canada's oil sands, the largest crude oil source outside the Middle East.
"Governments have reacted defensively to warnings from environmental groups and scientists alike about how the oil sands industry might be impacting on water supplies," the report said. "Instead they have sought refuge in the science of public relations."
Among the recommendations was a call for more study of the native people of Fort Chipewyan, Alberta, on Lake Athabasca, who have been shown to have higher rates of rare cancers than the general population. The link to oil sands development has not been proven.
The Liberals also called for federal environmental assessments of oil sands development to include analysis of the cumulative groundwater impact, and pushed for the federal Conservative government to take a stronger role in monitoring and protecting fresh water near oil sands projects.
"This is not an attack on the industry and we're not dealing with the Alberta government because the Alberta government is answerable to the people of Alberta," said Quebec Member of Parliament Francis Scarpaleggia, head of the Liberals' water caucus. Continued...

If African Americans are – finally – prepared to fight their way out of the current crisis, they "must develop a set of tactics, strategies, and objectives to improve their deteriorating condition, particularly in the arena of mass incarceration." A "human rights" strategy would serve us well.
Human Rights, Neo-liberalism and Mass Incarceration
by Benjamin Woods
This article originally appeared on Mr. Woods' website, FreeTheLand.
"Not only is the United States Constitution in direct contradiction to the very notions of equality and freedom it claims to represent but international law as well."
After billions of dollars in campaign donations and thousands of negative ads, the 2012 elections left the legislative and executive branch virtually unchanged. The Obama campaign energized a coalition of Blacks, unions, white women, and Latinos. The day after the election, several Latino groups stated explicitly that Obama owes his second term to them and should pass comprehensive immigration reform. Unlike in 2008, Black people should not be pacified with the symbolism of a Black president but must develop a set of tactics, strategies, and objectives to improve their deteriorating condition, particularly in the arena of mass incarceration.
In 1948, the US became a signature to the United Nations Declarations of Human Rights. Similar to previous generations, this document can be used to demonstrate the gross human rights violations against US Blacks. For instance, the 13th amendment to the US constitution states "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except for crime whereof the party has been duly convicted shall exist within the United States." In short, enslavement did not legally end in the US but was only regulated by the government. Mass incarceration is slavery.
This runs counter to article 4 of the UN Declaration which states "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms." This means that not only is the United States Constitution in direct contradiction to the very notions of equality and freedom it claims to represent but international law as well.
"We should demand the immediate transfer of private prisons into public hands."
Due to neoliberal economic policies over the past thirty years, prisons and other areas of social life have become increasingly privatized. For example, in 2010 two private management prison companies had a combined revenue of almost $3 billion. We should demand the immediate transfer of private prisons into public hands. In addition, a "New" New Deal, that includes a guaranteed job for ALL including the formerly incarcerated. Specifically, we demand re-entry programs that provide a job and housing upon release from prison.
An organization that should be studied to achieve these objectives is the National Negro Congress. NNC was a united front composed of fraternal and religious groups, civil rights, unions, etc. under the leadership of the Black Left. In fact, the President and Executive Secretary were Communists. The primary tactics used were mass demonstrations and direct action. Their successes include the establishment of a civilian review board for District police, dealing a death blow to debt peonage, and no police murders of Blacks in DC during their high point of organizing against police brutality in 1938-39.
The inherent limitations of this strategy are obvious: ending neoliberalism does not end white supremacy or the economic system that created it and the UN is to a large extent controlled by major Western powers. But a critique of neoliberalism does provide space for a more thorough critique of capitalism and a human rights paradigm gives US Blacks a common framework and possibility for alliances with other oppressed people. In addition, this strategy allows us to publicize our case at the international level. The time of symbolism has ended and movement building has begun.

Can anyone suggest a good protein skimmer to buy that is relatively cheap for a 40 gallon tank. I've seen some on amazon that are rated for my size tank for like $40 bucks but I don't know if I should trust them.

I vote coralife. Though you need a DIY microbubble preventative, but is worth it as it is pretty awesome at pulling out gunk.
Re: Protein Skimmer
Well i bought a coralife one and what do you mean a dyi micro-bubble preventive
Re: Protein Skimmer
Return water through anything you can put pad or floss in to stop very small bubbles from getting into main water supply.I return my PS into a piece of PVC that has sponges in it and is 1/2" below water level,this way no bubbles enter my water column.Even "properly " run skimmers can pass bubbles that you don't want in your tank.Anything could work.
Ask madness how he "modified" his impeller to get better bubbles in his PS,very informative and helpful.
Re: Protein Skimmer
Later this evening I will send you a link to help yiu modify your Coralife Skimmer, in order to make it much much better.

Ankara, (Hurriyet Daily News): Ankara Police Chief Kadir Ay was relocated only a day after 350 officer under his command were dismissed.
The massive purge of Turkey's police department has reached the highest echelons as police chiefs of 15 provinces across Turkey, including Ankara and İzmir, and the deputy head of the national police department were dismissed overnight by the Interior Ministry.
The dismissal of the Ankara police chief, Kadir Ay, comes only a day after 350 officers working in key operational units were relocated in one sweep.
The head of the İzmir forces, Ali Bilkay, has also been relocated. Fresh graft raids were conducted in İzmir on Jan. 7 as part of fraud investigations launched by the city's prosecutor, leading to the detention of senior officials at the harbor operated by the Turkish State Railways (TCDD).
Along with the dismissal of former Istanbul police chief Hüseyin Çapkın a few days after the graft probe raids started on Dec. 17, the latest wave of purges means that the police chiefs of Turkey's three biggest cities have now been replaced.
Police chiefs have also been removed in the provinces of Adana, Antalya, Bursa, Diyarbakır, Erzurum, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kocaeli, Malatya, Mersin, Sakarya, Samsun, and Trabzon. All are among the most populous and economically more significant provinces of the country. Police Department Deputy Head Muammer Buçak has also been replaced.
The latest raids and subsequent police purges come as the government is engulfed in a vast scandal, with the sons of two ex-ministers and the chief executive of state-owned Halkbank still being held in custody.

Check out the childbirth section in any bookstore and you're sure to find dozens of books written by "experts."
No doubt several copies of the self-proclaimed "pregnancy bible" - What to Expect When You're Expecting - will be prominently displayed, along with numerous books by midwives and childbirth educators. Although much of what you'll see will not be written by doctors, nearly all of them, in my opinion, will be somewhat condescending. The author will presume to tell you how to give birth.
Of course, most of the books written by midwives won't advise you to put your trust in doctors. Instead, they'll advise you to put your trust in midwives. Even Pam England's book Birthing From Within has a chapter called "Don't Give Birth Without a Doula!" What if a woman doesn't want or need a doula? Isn't that a decision that each woman needs to make for herself?
What you won't find on the shelves are childbirth books that encourage women to put their trust in themselves. Sure, some of them will give lip service to the idea that "women know how to give birth!" But if these authors truly believe this, why do they consistently fail to mention the fact that books about unassisted childbirth DO exist? Are they simply unaware of their existence? Are they aware of their existence but feel these books are poorly written? Or are they aware of their existence but fear that if every woman knew she could give birth without assistance, the "childbirth industry" would crumble to pieces? You make the call.
The fact is, unassisted childbirth books do exist - and have existed since the 1950's. Here are the ones that I recommend:
Unassisted Childbirth by Laura Shanley
You really didn't expect me to leave this one out, did you?! Named "Most alarming book title of 1994" by The Houston Chronicle, this book is for anyone who enjoys defying the establishment, and following their own dreams.
The Power of Pleasurable Childbirth by Laurie Annis Morgan
Laurie is not only a warm and caring person, she's also a great writer! In addition to sharing her own unassisted birth stories, she also delves into such issues as "Fear and its relation to pain," "The dangers of assisted birth," "What do you have against midwives anyway?" and "Sex and birth, pain and complications." (While I highly encourage readers to click the link above and buy Laurie's book, for those who can't afford it, you can read it here free.)
Unassisted Homebirth: An Act of Love by Lynn Griesemer
This book is full of interesting insights, tips, observations, suggestions, and stories about this most intimate "act of love." The forgotten man - Dad - is finally brought into the picture, as Lynn's husband Bob and other fathers share their wonderful birth stories (including one of an unassisted birth of breech twins!).
The Birthkeepers by Veronika Sophia Robinson
Veronika is the first UK woman to write about unassisted childbirth. The birth stories in this book are beautifully written and wonderfully inspiring, as are Veronika's own thoughts about the history of birth and where it's going.
Prenatal Yoga and Natural Childbirth by Jeannine Parvati Baker
Even if you're not into yoga, you will enjoy this book. Jeannine's beautiful spirit shines through every page. This 25th Silver Anniversary Edition is filled with lovely photographs of Jeannine, Rico, and their children. The book ends with Jeannine's wonderful stories of her unassisted homebirths, as well as the freebirth story of her first grandchild.
Come Gently Sweet Lucina by Pat Carter
Written in 1957 by a woman who preferred to give birth alone, this book is both interesting and amusing. Unfortunately, the book has been out of print for many years, but if you click the link above you can read it free on Rixa Freeze's site. Pat was a true pioneer, and although I don't agree with everything she wrote (she smoked during her pregnancies to avoid gaining weight), the book is definitely worth reading. Chapters include such gems as "The Untoward Effects of the Current Practice of Making Fathers Appear as Stupid Dolts to Their Wives in Childbirth While the Doctor Appears as the Rescuing Hero," and "The Medical Heel (What he is. Why he does not always know he is a heel. The damage he does to women in childbirth. How to avoid such damage.)"
Childbirth without Fear by Grantly Dick-Read
This was the book that opened my eyes to the truth about birth. Yes, it was written by a man more than fifty years ago - and a doctor no less - but his words still ring true. (Note: This book doesn't specifically mention unassisted childbirth, but its message is clear - women are powerful and capable of creating beautiful births.)
Below is a list of books that I haven't read (yet). I've been told that all are supportive of unassisted childbirth! I suspect that none, at this point, are available in bookstores but hopefully someday that will change!
Simply Give Birth by Heather Cushman-Dowdee
Unhindered Childbirth by Sarah M. Haydock
Birthing the Easy Way by Sheila Stubbs
Birth Unhindered by Tara L. McGuire
Mother's Intention: How Beliefs Shape Birth by Kim Wildner
Vrije Geboorte (Free Birth) by Anna Myrte Korteweg (Dutch)

Had same problem... removed throttle body and cleaned it out really good with brake parts cleaner and a brush, worked fine after that BUT there was a period of several weeks that I didn't drive the car... When I finally drove it again, had the same problem. This time I didn't remove it, I just made room to get to it... I realized that I hadn't lubed it up so that it could open and close with more ease. Oh, also I realized the key has to be in the on position (2nd turn I think) in order for the throttle body to move... once I got it to move I sprayed the two sides where it moves from with WD40, maybe not the best way to do it but it worked and the problem hasn't returned.

Theme of
Romeo and Juliet By David Walla People are fallible. Theme in novel Secrecy Poor choices Prejudice and pride 21st Century Rash choices Drinking Gambling It's impossible to not make a mistake so think twice when making a life changing decision because many of these have dire consequences. People try to hide their secrets, but will inevitably be found out. The pills are suicide, the fist is revenge, and the knife is murder. The ducklings show how the Montagues thought of the Capulets and vice versa. The man is like Juliet's father with his arrogancy. Promiscuity The girls hands being bound shows her becoming a slave to the pictures she posted online. The pregnant girl shows the consequences of promiscuity gone too far. Rash choices don't only affect you but also others. A man who has lost everything from addiction to alcohol A deadly decision-drunk driving The excitement of gambling is only short lived but the loss of money will weigh deep for a lot longer amount of time.

Synopsis for "Spider-Man Versus Doctor Octopus"Edit
- Now there's my idea of a hero! The Human Torch -- and a guy like Spider-Man! Too! Why don'tcha watch and see what a real man is like, bookworm?
Spider-Man catches Charlie and his two pals robbing a warehouse. Surprising them with his Spider Signal light, he quickly overcomes them and webs them up for the police. Meanwhile, atomic scientist Otto Octavius, known to his colleagues as Doctor Octopus because of the unique set of four remote-controlled "arms" he invented for handling radioactive material, is hard at work at the U.S. Atomic Research Center. Suddenly his experiment goes awry. In the ensuing explosion, Otto Octavius's mechanical arms fuse to his body, and the excess radiation alters his brain. When he awakens at Bliss Private Hospital, he discovers that he can make his mechanical arms move by thought alone, just as if they were his real arms. With his brain unbalanced, Dr. Octopus forcibly takes over the hospital as his first criminal act.
J. Jonah Jameson learns of the strange events at the hospital and sends Peter Parker to take some photographs. Peter sneaks into the hospital as Spider-Man and discovers the hospital staff held captive by Dr. Octopus. Spider-Man is badly beaten in their battle, but Dr. Octopus's captives manage to escape.
Dr. Octopus returns to the U.S. Atomic Research Center and takes over its computer, soon gaining possession of the greatest source of atomic power in the nation. Meanwhile, Peter Parker is dispirited following his defeat. The government asks the Fantastic Four to retake the laboratory from Dr. Octopus, but they decline because of other commitments. The Human Torch, unable to use his flame because of a virus, nevertheless appears at Midtown High School to address the student body. The speech he gives is so inspiring that Peter Parker regains his self-confidence. He decides he can defeat Dr. Octopus after all.
Spider-Man soon enters the laboratory, where he builds two devices from chemicals and wire. When Dr. Octopus finds him, Spider-Man tosses one of the devices around two of the criminal's mechanical arms, melting them together. Then he squirts web fluid all over Dr. Octopus's glasses. Temporarily blinded with two of his arms stuck together, Dr. Octopus is easily knocked out and left helpless for the police. When Spider-Man later thanks the Human Torch for his inspiring speech, the Human Torch, cured of his illness, is perplexed.
The next day, the Human Torch gives the Midtown High School students another demonstration of his newly restored powers, while Peter Parker smiles, finding new confidence in his young career as a super-hero.

In February of this year it was revealed that Rick Ross recruited Bad Boy Records founder Diddy to executive produce his sixth studio album, Mastermind. While speaking on his newly-released LP in various interviews, Ross says he enlisted the help of Diddy to give the album a '90s feel.
Ross touched briefly on that particular decade during his recent interview with Elliott Wilson of CRWN, stating that the '90s featured "the best classics." He then cited The Chronic and Doggystyle as two albums he listened to for inspiration for Mastermind.
"That was the era of the best classics," Ross said. "You know, in the game. From what Dr. Dre was doing on the West Coast to what Diddy was doing on the East and everything in between. So, when I put this album together it's like when I sat back and I listened to The Chronic and I listened to Doggystyle. I realized every one of Snoop's records had something in between the record. Not one record just, you know, went from beat to beat…Whatever it was it just added that other side of entertainment and that other side of energy to the product and helped an artist paint that picture, so that's what I wanted to do."
Ross later touched on the inclusion of topics concerning street life on his studio albums. According to the Miami rapper, his decision to include aspects of street life in his music stems from the relevance of it.
"Because it's so relevant. I mean, it's so relevant today," he said. "You know what I mean? Where I come from it's just so relevant. A lot of times I say different things in my music and hopefully it might save a young mothafucka life. On some real shit. From inspiration to just understanding the casualties of this. It's a lot of highs and lows in this game. You know, which is very familiar in that street life, so that's what I bring to my music. The highs and the lows."
Of the 16 tracks featured on Mastermind is "War Ready," a record which features Jeezy, an artist Ross feuded with in the past. The Maybach Music Group founder previously revealed that both he and Jeezy were able to discuss their issues recently and as a result have recorded a couple of songs together.
Ross commended the Atlanta rapper during his CRWN interview and even revealed that he's always been a fan of Jeezy.
"I always been a fan of Jeezy. You know, coming from the South and building an empire," Ross said. "Being self-made is what I like to call it. That's when you come from where we come from and you make it happen. And he was somebody that made it happen. So, I commend all artists and all dudes that create their ventures and their format."
In addition to "War Ready," both Ross and Jeezy reportedly have another record together, one that will be featured on a project from Jeezy. Ross referred to the record as "crazy" during an interview with DJ Envy earlier this month.

Third Annual Memorial Princess Sessions!
Fairyography announces the third annual Sabina Hartley-Burke and Ava Jane Gibson memorial princess sessions!
Sabina lost her battle with a brain stem tumor on May 31st, 2007. She was eight. Ava Jane Gibson lost her battle with a heart defect on August 5, 2009. She was three. Before each of them left this world, I was lucky enough to meet them for a princess photo session. Since then, I've felt like it's something we have to do for another deserving girl every year.
2011's winner was Kylie, who was born premature and has triumphed over Leukemia : http://www.fairyography.com/memorial-princess-2011-winner-meet-kylie/
2010's winner was Chloe, who has Down's syndrome and has triumphed over Leukemia: http://www.fairyography.com/winner-of-2010-memorial-princess-sessions/

We know that there are some people that you would love to do that for too. Now, where do YOU come in? Let's be honest; no one loves anything more than hearing the good, fabulous, things people have to say about them or their children. Whether it is that they have triumphed over troubled times, are fighting health issues or that they are just an amazing kid who deserves a little something special, people LOVE to know that other people feel that way about them. So, it is up to YOU to nominate a family that has a little girl(s) between the ages of 18months and 10 years old. Tell us why you think they deserve to have their little girl whisked off to a magical place where she is queen and is photographed as such!
Send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com sharing why you think the person you are nominating should be THE ONE for this totally awesome package. What makes that little girl so special and why does she deserve to be treated like a queen?
Up for grabs:
A $1200 value fairy tale package
This captivating collection begins at Elements Salon with your princess or fairy being treated to a hair and makeup styling (if she is old enough and safe around curling irons!) Then she is photographed at the Botanical Gardens. She will be able to wear one of our couture gowns along with any other accessories she chooses. These are casual sessions with no set time limit and you will be presented with 30-40 fully edited proofs to order from. Included in the collection is a 16×20 wall art piece, a stunning mini accordion album, four digital pictures with reprint rights and a 10×10 leather bound 20 page storybook. The contents of this collection are not a limit; you may choose to purchase further prints at VIP print prices.
Deadline for nominations: Tuesday, July 31st, 2012. A winner and runners up will be chosen by August 6th, 2012. Photo sessions will be scheduled for August or September. Email to firstname.lastname@example.com Please forward this to everyone you can think of in case they know a deserving girl too!
Ready to make magic for your little girl? Contact professional photographer Heather Larkin of Fairyography to schedule your daughter's session today! I am local to Athens, GA area, but I'm often asked to travel for fairytale photography and styled sessions nationwide! Email me for info.

How have you been working on it so far? Has your husband been actively training it too, or just using the command that you've trained? How old is your dog and how long have you had her?
Even if she's practically perfect in low distraction environments, it's much more challenging to get a dog's attention in a high distraction environment like Petsmart. Rather that tell her to "look" when she's probably not going to do it, I'd rather just stand there and simply wait for her to look at you, then mark ("Yes!") and reward it. You could start in the parking lot right outside the car, and when she's consistently looking at you for a reward, take a few steps closer to the store and work on it some more. Gradually work up to actually being in the store. And again, wait for her to offer it, don't ask for it. Giving your dog commands and having her blow you off because there's too much interesting stuff going on is only teaching her that she does not always need to comply.
The more you reinforce attention, the more attention you'll get, even if you don't actually give her the "look" command. This is called a default behavior, and it's something I work on a lot from a young age. For my dogs, a sit and "watch" (my attention command), is a default behavior, so if I'm with them and I'm just standing there doing nothing, they automatically sit and look at me. This has been heavily reinforced over a long period of time, so they know it can work to get them stuff they value - it's required before I open the door to let them out for potties, before I put their food bowls on the floor, before I throw a ball, etc.

The Claudia Quintet
Hollenbeck named his new band the Claudia Quintet after an alt.coffee patron who had professed enthusiasm for the Refuseniks at the group's first show and promised to return for future performances, but never followed through on her vow. "Claudia" subsequently became a running theme cropping up occasionally in the trio members' conversations; the contours of a life story were even imagined for her. Hollenbeck also gave other reasons for naming his new group after the enigmatic Claudia rather than choosing a moniker like, say, the John Hollenbeck Quintet; these included emphasizing the group as a whole and avoiding the typical leader-with-sidemen perception, drawing parallels with the naming approach often used by chamber ensembles that play thoroughly scored material, and giving the band "a female quality" -- although to date no Claudia Quintet albums feature actual females as either core bandmembers or guests.
The Claudia Quintet soon proved to be an utterly unique outfit and impressive vehicle for Hollenbeck's creativity as a drummer and composer, and a fine showcase for the other bandmembers as well, featuring an unusual mixture of instrumental timbres and a stylistic mélange drawing from cutting-edge jazz, of course, but also Hollenbeck's background in modern composition. The quintet's eponymous debut album was released by CRI/Blueshift in 2001 (simultaneous with two other Hollenbeck non-Claudia discs), and the group soon attracted attention from the Cuneiform label, which has a long history of work with artists who do not fit in easily categorizable niches. Cuneiform released the band's label debut, I, Claudia, in 2004, and continued its commitment to the Claudia Quintet with a series of releases extending for the next ten years: Semi-Formal (2005); For (2007); Royal Toast (2010), featuring special guest Gary Versace on piano; What Is the Beautiful? (2011), with the quintet supplemented by pianist Matt Mitchell and featuring poetry of Kenneth Patchen sung by vocalists Theo Bleckmann and Kurt Elling; and September (2013), in which Red Wierenga replaced accordionist Reichman (whose family commitments had taken him to Boston) and the bass duties were split between Gress (one of the busiest bassists in modern creative jazz with numerous competing commitments) and Chris Tordini. ~ Dave Lynch

Candlelight vigil set for homeless
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | December 17. 2013 10:56PM
The vigil is planned for Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the steps of the Peterborough Town House.
This is MATS' second annual vigil. Last year about 25 people turned out, Foucher said, adding that she hopes as the vigils continue the numbers will increase.
The vigils held across the country mark National Homeless Memorial Day, which honors those who have died due to homelessness and hardship over the past year, Foucher said. Over the course of 2013 29 homeless people died in New Hampshire.
MATS was founded in 1991 by a group of concerned residents and serves the towns of the Greater Monadnock Region. The shelter also accepts referrals from other shelters throughout the tri-state area. MATS' mission is to provide transitional housing, support, and referral services to people who are homeless as well as to educate the community on issues of homelessness; and to advocate for solutions.
