Reasonable Fears
by chaos_eternus
Adama narrowed his eyes as he watched Athena, somewhat nervously walk onto the bridge, her eyes darting around the room before she relaxed slightly and walked over to him. He knew she had some reason to be nervous, after all, there were still many in the fleet who did not trust her loyalty to him and to the fleet, many who wanted her dead simply because of what she was created as.
And yet she didn't use to be this nervous.
Indeed, up until the recon mission last month, she was confident, bold even bordering on brash most of the time.
But that mission she had never explained what had happened. She should have, he had pushed, threatened but she had remained unmoved. The only way to truly get a major reaction out of her was to suggest sending another recon mission, which just resulted in hysterics.
Something had majorly spooked her there, which he supposed was as good as reason as any to avoid the system, if you ignored pure curiosity and the potential for whatever it was to be of use against the Cylons.
Yet some of her new fears were just so strange.
Okay, he could understand the reaction to Corporal Aeolus who had very definitely thrown his sanity over the cliff into the sea and didn't bother to jump in after it, but still, if it wasn't for his new clothing preferences, he was actually pretty good compared to some.
And the way her eyes widened then she shuddered whenever anyone walked past wearing red and blue was ridiculous. Blue wasn't exactly avoidable, it was the colour of some of their uniforms and red well, they had all seen enough blood to suit a hundred lifetimes, but still
Then there was the hand.
That still bothered him. He couldn't see how it was possible to form such a thing in the metal plating of a Raptor but there it was. A perfect impression of a human hand had been distorting the armour of the front of the Raptor when she had landed from that mission.
Perfect enough for them to obtain a fingerprint, which matched nobody in the fleet.
It was just so strange a fear of red and blue, a handprint in the armour of her Raptor and hysterics at the sight of a Corporal who, when all was said and done, had only taken to wearing his pants on the outside of his trousers.
No, he really didn't have a clue what had happened to Athena exactly.
But, by the Lords, was he curious.
I do not own, nor do I claim ownership of characters and / or concepts from Battlestar Galactica or Superman.

I think I have a title for the next section. But you'll notice that, currently, the category name hasn't been changed.
I try not to sound pompous when I write. That's one of my only rules. I'll have characters who are pompous, sure, but if my writing, the bits and pieces in between character observations and dialog and what have you, starts to get too over the top I always try and reign it in. If I can say something using three simple words rather than twelve grandiose words, I shoot for three simple words. Again, though, my characters are driving the tone a lot of the time and if they're pompous then the writing will take a turn that way.
So, for that reason, I'm not so sure about this title. I don't believe in big artsy sounding titles. In fact, looking over the list, I seem to like titles that invoke a touch of wordplay. "Robin's Flight" being one of my favorites. This current title I'm thinking of, even though I like what it means for me, seems a bit too over the top for my liking. It might stick though.
For those of you who are wondering and who like doing bits of side research on this stuff, here it is as it stands now (I can't even write it without blushing):
"Where Sarpedon's Body Lay"
Really. That's a bit much, no?

Siri, I need a Careem ride
Now that Apple's Siri is open for developers to use with the latest iOS 10, many jumped on the opportunity to update their apps to tap into the new opportunity.
Careem's latest update brought a hidden surprise, one that wasn't mentioned in their Release Notes – you can now use Siri to hail a Careem ride. The integration was born out of a strategic partnership signed with Apple. As much as Siri will be spending time interpreting different pronunciations of Careem (and even correcting it) with actual use, we can confirm that it works when we took it for a spin in Doha.
The best part is that it's available in all markets where Careem is officially present (that's more than 25 cities including the new addition Turkey). The feature goes further than just saying "Hey Siri, book me a Careem.", as you can even say "Siri, book me a Careem ride to the airport".
What's the catch?
You would think that you could easily do more with it. However, there are some catches on this new integration and we've discovered them after taking the updated app for a spin.
- The app may be available in four languages (English, Arabic, French, Turkish), but that doesn't mean you can use Siri with them. As Arabic Siri was officially released with iOS 9.2, Careem have officially confirmed that the integration currently works only in English.
- When using it in English, it will always default to the Economy option for the ride selection. However, you can easily touch the card which will open the app where you can customize the request. We've tried to tell Siri to book a Premium and a GO ride separately, but looks like it'll default to Economy.
- One difference when it comes to Maps usage – the app uses Google Maps but resorts to Apple Maps when using Siri to request a ride. This is most likely with the Developer Policy when you wish to use key features of iOS.
- You can't schedule rides with it, as it only works on instant booking requests.
That doesn't mean they'll stop right there, as they're already working on additional features related to it.
If you haven't updated the app, head over to the Apple App Store.

Even though it appears as if the Chicago Bulls are in the driver's seat to land Carmelo Anthony this offseason, both the fans and the media around the Windy City have seen this same scenario too many times before.
After the Michael Jordan era ended in the late 90's, there have been tons of free agent superstars flirt with the idea of signing Bulls during the free agency period, but very little lucky with signing those players. In the summer of 2000, it was young phenom Tracy McGrady poised to sign with the Bulls after his first three seasons with the Toronto Raptors. Former Bulls GM Jerry Krause had long coveted him since the 1997 NBA Draft when McGrady was taken 9th overall. It was rumored that Krause even went so far as to offer Scottie Pippen to the Raptors on draft night for McGrady before Jordan got wind of it and nixed the trade.
But in 2000, with Jordan in retirement and the Bulls in full rebuilding mode, Krause was finally going to get his man. McGrady even got Krause to offer him a max contract despite only averaging 15 points with the Raptors a season earlier; that turned out to be a big mistake. In the end, McGrady was only using the Bulls to garner a better deal out of his hometown team the Orlando Magic. The Magic ended up countering the Bulls' offer, while Chicago was stuck signing the likes of Ron Mercer and an undeveloped Brad Miller.
The Bulls didn't seem to learn from their mistakes even 10 years later, when LeBron James was a free agent. The Bulls were one of several teams that James was interested in during the summer of 2010. ESPN's Chris Broussard and his plethora of imaginary "sources" can attest to that. The Bulls even cleared extra cap by giving away Kirk Hinrich and their 17th overall draft pick for virtually nothing. Just when it appeared that the team was gaining momentum to sign James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh distracted the Bulls by showing phony interest in the team, giving the Miami Heat enough time to convince James to help form the Big Three in South Beach. The Bulls were again stuck signing another player in Carlos Boozer, who was far from their first choice.
Now, in the summer of 2014, the Bulls appear to be on the defensive before the free agency period has begun. They aggressively traded for scorer Doug McDermott in the draft, and also plucked more offensive firepower in Cameron Bairstow with the 49th pick. The Bulls are also fully prepared to bring over Nikola Mirotic from Europe in the event that they do not land a superstar player such as Anthony this offseason. This is already a better backup plan than signing random players such as Mercer, Miller and Boozer in order to save face.
The Bulls should also look to add another big man in the event that Anthony doesn't sign. Marcin Gortat or Spencer Hawes would be adequate players to have on the Bulls. Also, the team could be inclined to try to bring Luol Deng, who was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in January. The goal should continue to be adding quality system players who want to win and can fit in with the team. In essence, anything would be better than making panic signings such as Mercer and Miller in the event that Anthony signs elsewhere this summer.
Ultimately, Anthony is the only person that can decide if he's coming to the Bulls or not. All that current Bulls GM Gar Forman can do is stay on the defensive all summer and not screw up the roster if Anthony says no. Forman seems to be a glutton for punishment, as his mentor Krause was in 2000.

I just wrote a column for Big Journalism regarding the reporting of the Tea Party event. I found it interesting that Nicholas Kristof sets such a high standard for reporting in the Congo, employing rational skepticism with all sources, and yet many people in the media today ignore those standards when reporting about the Tea Party protests. Click here if you would like to read the entire column.
Sadly, I think truth is becoming irrelevant when it comes to Tea Party reporting.

Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)
|Lowest Price Guarantee
Free Stuff - Direct Purchase Items
Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi was born in Venice on March 4th, 1678. He was an ordained priest at the age of 25. He gave up the priesthood within a year due to his fragile health. Vivaldi wrote many concertos, among them being the "Four Seasons." He also wrote many pedagogical works for the female students of the Ospedale della Piet# where he taught for most of his working life. This "orphanage", as it was often called, was in fact a home for the illegitimate daughters of wealthy nobelmen. Vivaldi traveled to Rome and many other cities. His works were in great demand. They were often cranked out in just a few days, a fact that would earn him many commisions.
Vivaldi was also a prolific opera composer. Contemporary Abbot Conti wrote: "In less than three months Vivaldi has composed three operas, two for Venice and a third for Florence; the last has given something of a boost to the name of the theater of that city and he has earned a great deal of money." In spite of his fame and travels, Vivaldi always remained in the service of the Ospedale della Pieta, by sending concerti at an average of two a month. Jean-Jacques Rousseau and King Louis XV were counted among his many fans
Vivaldi wrote concerti for many instruments, including the lute. This Concerto for in D major for Lute and Orchestra has been transcribed for guitar. It has been recorded by many artists. It remains one of the finest examples of the medium. This solo arrangement of the beautiful largo makes up the second movement. The sixth string must be tuned down to D to accomodate the guitar.

Welcome back, friend!
I was looking through
one of my old books, and I found this image.
one of my old books, and I found this image.
I didn't think about it much and assumed they were looking at a plane
until I read the name of the story, "Little Hum," and read the sentence under the picture:
"They thought Hum was very small and pretty, and Hum thought they were giants."
Then I realized,
"They didn't have planes back then. The skies were quiet and even the streets were pretty still."
Little hummingbird is what they looked out to see.
I cleaned up the image and made an antiqued version of it...
and a black and white.
Here is the pretty border that was on the last page of the short story,
the antiqued version,
and the black and white.
These are from a late 1800's book, so the illustrations are not copyrighted.

My Big Bro is an AbuserHe has been physically abusing me since ever.... at first i thought he would change but he never did. I became cranky and I used to talk rubbish in my defence and things just got worse. Then I stopped talking at all. He then became verbally abusive. He made me cry a lot. He then made all his friends join him in abusing me verbally and he used to enjoy it! He then started torturing me physically again over minor matters. He then abused me so much, he wrecked my vein. Then I heeled after a long time. He again started threatening and swearing and character assaulting me and makes his friends join him. He now insults me in front of my husband. He taunts me, ridicules me and trests me like a servant. Even after my marriage, he havent changed a bit! Now he has left us and we are so happy without him so I mailed him saying never come back! He came, and I so wanted to kill him [ which i should have done earlier in life ] we had a big scene created in our house. Then my father abused me, and now Im such a miserable Ho, I just need to get out of this insulting life!

This past year, I finally gained the courage to launch into a full-time freelance writing career. While I'm happy, I feel a bit guilty because I arrived in part by breaking the first rule of freelancing: Thou shalt not work for free. By sharing my story, I hope that other aspiring freelancers understand the rare cases where writing for low or no pay can improve your shot at future paid writing gigs.
Scams Aplenty
Anyone who's dipped their toes into the freelancing pool knows that writers are subject to more scammers than you knew existed. Sometimes it feels as though an aspiring writer is a frightened fawn, unprotected in a forest full of hungry wolves.
Many writers settle for low pay, assuming that their work isn't worth a monetary reward, and agree to write that 500-word post about the 10 Best Ways to (insert here), hoping that it leads to something better. Others find themselves in the ghettos of the content mills, writing uninspiring SEO garbage for barely enough to buy lunch.
First, admit that your writing has value, then kick these types to the curb. This type of free writing won't lead to better opportunities.
My Freebie Exception
When starting out, I found myself in a situation familiar to many beginning writers: I had no clips. I pitched and queried my heart out, with not so much as a response from a paying market. Meanwhile, I found myself interested in local politics and showed up regularly to any political gathering that I could.
That's when I had a light-bulb moment.
One of the rallies I attended concerned homelessness issues in the city of Boston. I was familiar with a local publication, The Spare Change News, that focused on news affecting the homeless. Figuring that they would be interested in the rally, I emailed a quick pitch to the editor. Within a half hour, he answered me back. I wrote up a summary of the rally, interviewed a few folks and jumped in elation as I finally saw my name in print.
Since then, I've attracted regular clients in the journalism field using my Spare Change clips. I hadn't originally intended on using the article for anything. I just wanted to write. But in this case, volunteering my time paid off.
When to Write for Free
There are always times when it's okay to break the rules and writing for free is no exception. But if you're going to write for free, the work should satisfy the following conditions:
1. You personally support the organization
Many small non-profits genuinely don't have funds to pay writers. These organizations rely on volunteer work to carry out their operations. Just as in any volunteer work, donate your writing time if you support their cause.
2. The organization doesn't profit off your work
No one should make money off your work if you don't. It doesn't matter if your work will be read by thousands. By providing free work, you enable the race to the bottom to continue, diminishing your chances for good-paying work in the future.
3. The work will benefit your portfolio
Make sure that the task aligns with your writing goals. If you aspire to be a healthcare blogger, it makes no sense to take on a free job writing about Pokemon Go. Think about the clips that your ideal client would like to see.
Your time is the scarcest resource of all. Value your time as you would your money and never allow others to take advantage of your talents.

All the professors at LSUA are readily available, whether it is in their office or even when they're off campus. Many will give out their cell phone number and they're more than willing to work with students. This allows me to be more at ease when dealing with them; it allows me to have a new found respect for my instructors because they care about my future as opposed to just doing it as a job.

Murray has firm grip on Cowboys offense
OXNARD, Calif. — The handshake is one of the first things that grabbed Jerry Jones' attention. In meeting DeMarco Murray for the first time at Valley Ranch before the NFL Draft, Jones wasn't quite prepared for the Oklahoma running back's firm greeting.
"It hurts if you're not ready for it," Jones told FOXSportsSouthwest.com last Friday. "But it speaks to his professionalism. In all my years here, I can't recall someone making such an immediate impression."
And that was before Murray, a third-round pick, took the field and had the greatest three-week stretch in franchise history. He finished with 897 rushing yards despite only starting seven games. Murray's rookie season ended abruptly with a broken right ankle in Week 14 against the New York Giants, but he's fully healed and has been the most impressive offensive player to watch in training camp. Head coach Jason Garrett is already using Murray as an example of how every other player on the roster should practice. His collisions with inside linebacker Sean Lee, another camp standout, have set the tone for one of the most physical Cowboys camps in years.
Defensive end Jason Hatcher was stumped earlier this offseason when asked to identify the leaders on this team. Now, it appears he has a couple more options. Murray and Lee both carry themselves as if they've been around for years. They're not waiting for a veteran to point the way.
"DeMarco was all business from the start," Jones said following an afternoon practice. "He's a pro. He was inordinately accomplished as a blocker coming out of college, and that tells you a lot. When you see [the leadership] this early, you wonder if it's just borne, as opposed to being developed with seniority."
Players such as Murray and Lee have put all this "window closing" talk on the backburner. They bring a great deal of confidence to the field as well as a certain amount of nastiness. Murray sends messages to his teammates during practices. He seems to crave contact, and that's why he'll occasionally end a run by delivering an elbow to an unsuspecting linebacker or cornerback (poor Teddy Williams suffered a concussion).
Murray wears a T-shirt underneath his pads with the words "Don't talk it, walk it" written on the back. On the front, are the letters G.A.T.A., which stand for "Get After That Ass." The T-shirt was designed by his mixed martial arts instructor in his hometown Las Vegas. He's been involved in MMA training for four years and he recently signed on with a lifestyle brand called Bad Boy. He says the training has helped his quickness and overall agility.
Murray only had two carries in Monday's first preseason game, but he's likely to stay on the field for the entire first quarter Saturday against San Diego. With Jason Witten out indefinitely with a lacerated spleen, Murray could be called upon even more in the passing game early in the season. His versatility was a big reason the Cowboys coveted Murray, but he stood out more as a rusher during his rookie season. Running backs coach Skip Peete thinks we'll see more balance this season.
"He dropped some easy catches last season," said Peete. "And it looked like he wasn't concentrating. He's really improved his concentration and you saw that in our first scrimmage. On a broken play, DeMarco leaked up the field to the perfect spot and Tony [Romo] got him the ball. You can just tell those two are way down the road in terms of chemistry."
It didn't take Murray long to supplant former first-round pick Felix Jones as the feature back in this offense. Now, it will be surprising if Jones gets more than six or seven carries per game. He'll become the so-called change-of-pace back.
Fortunately for the Cowboys, Murray knows only one pace. And that's why the Cowboys need him on the field for 16 games.

Farm to Bottle: Reinventing condiments through old world traditions.
Like you, we love fresh, local, organic and sustainable foods. We go a step further, and ask: Shouldn't your sauces match? Jared and Laura are The Poor Devil Pepper Co. and our goal is to bring delicious, probiotic, lacto fermented sauces to you. We are proud to source all of our ingredients from local farms. Through raw lacto fermentation the crisp fresh taste of vegetables is transferred into our products. Because of this you'll find our products in the refrigerated section not lost on the shelves amidst swarms of vinegar-based sauces that are good until after the fall out (and once opened end up in the fridge anyways). Ours is a path less traveled, between the old world of lacto fermented vegetables and the ever growing realm of hot sauce & BBQ sauce. Straight from the farm. Rethinking where your sauces should be found on the shelf. Reinventing sauce with every bottle.
The Poor Devil Pepper Co. was started in 2013 by Jared Schwartz when he had a big idea about flavorful lacto-fermented hot sauce. It all started as a spice experiment and a real test of patience with a 6-8 week fermenting period. The goal was to produce hot sauce that is packed with flavor and ingredients from local farms in the Hudson Valley. While Jared is working up new recipes in the kitchen, his partner and go to lady- Laura Webster is organizing orders, painting signs and getting the hot sauce into the hands of the people. Poor Devil Pepper Co's mission is to create flavorful and spicy sauces while also providing a product that is full of local, organic goodness. Let us change what you think when you think hot sauce.
Sustainably Local & Organic
We source all ingredients from local, sustainable, organic growers. This ensures that we source the highest quality ingredients. Our farmer partners support ecosystem biodiversity through growing practices that minimize negative impact on the land. We get great peppers and spices and you get a product that tastes great and you can feel good about buying. We source all of our vegetables from certified organic farms throughout the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires. Our spices are all certified organic and we only use unrefined Celtic sea salt.

German Streets Descend Into Lawlessness
Police in many parts of Germany say they are stretched to the limit and unable to maintain law and order amid a spike in crimes committed by migrants.
German Streets Descend Into Lawlessness
Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute | October 31, 2016
The rape of a ten-year-old girl in Leipzig, the largest city in Saxony, has drawn renewed attention to the spiraling levels of violent crime perpetrated by migrants in cities and towns across Germany — and the lengths to which German officials and the media go to censor information about the perpetrators of those crimes.
The girl was riding her bicycle to school at seven o'clock in the morning on October 27 when a man ambushed her, threw her to the ground and raped her. The suspect is described as being in his mid-thirties with short brown hair and a stubble beard.
Leipzig police have explicitly refused to say whether the suspect is a migrant, but have implicitly admitted that he is. They published a facial composite of the suspect with the politically correct warning:
"This image is to be published only in print media in the greater Leipzig area. Publishing this image on the internet, including on social media such as Facebook, is not covered by the court's manhunt order (Beschluss zur Öffentlichkeitsfahndung) and is therefore prohibited."
The effort to censor information about the rape, in which German officials show themselves to be more concerned about protecting the identity of the rapist than the welfare of the victim or other girls he might attack, is almost unprecedented in Germany.
To its credit, the Berlin-based newspaper, Bild, responded: "BILD is ignoring this request. We want to ensure that the suspect is arrested as quickly as possible." Indeed, Bild has been one of the only newspapers in Germany even to publish not only the image but also report the story of this rape.
Violent crime — including rapes, sexual and physical assaults, stabbings, home invasions, robberies, burglaries and drug trafficking — has skyrocketed in Germany since Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed into the country more than one million mostly male migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Few, if any, of the migrants were vetted before being allowed to enter Germany.

On another note, I saw Watchmen today! It was so crazy, and kinda slashy >_>... but still pretty great :P. I won't go into detail because of spoilers, but it was gory, and graphic – but that was to be expected to say the least. However, a certain character was the picture perfect image of Schneizel from Code Geass, no joke o_o.
In terms of the new Naruto/Bleach chapters, my reaction was O_O!! Both ended in "omfg" moments lol.
Aaaaand I've also decided to rewatch FMA >_< (its actually my 5th time watching it o_o. It isn't even my favourite series – i don't know how ive seen it soo many times haha) A friend was talking about it and realized how much i had forgotten about it/remembered how awesome it was.
P.S Looking forward to the always amazing Gunday tomorrow :P

Our first cruise upcoming May 2, 2003
My husband and I are cruising to Jamaica on May 2, 2003. This is the "honeymoon" we didn't have when we first got married. We are departing from Miami, WOOOOOHOOOOO!!! Any ideas as to what we would need to pack, because we don't want to overpack. Also any tips on clothes to bring would be greatly appreciated. I read, on a previous article, that Carnival won't let you bring water or any other beverages. :-( Any idea why that is?
Re: Our first cruise upcoming May 2, 2003
They don't want you to MESS with the Booze sales on board!!!!!!!!
Re: Our first cruise upcoming May 2, 2003
We pack an outfit for each evening and also for each day while in port. For sea days we figure on wearing out bathing suits most of the day laying around the deck. Blue jeans are usually too hot to wear so leave them at home as well as any other heavy clothing, you won't need it. Bring lots of sunscreen and an extra floding suitcase to bring back all your treasures you found. As for the beverages, they are trying to stop those that want to bring on cases of sodas and beer. The money they make off these sales is the reason why cruisng is such a good bargain and the cheapest vacation you can find nowadays.
Re: Re: Our first cruise upcoming May 2, 2003
Don't discount the jeans! The casino and show lounges are freezing so you just might find comfort in jeans and a sweatshirt. On one cruise, I was just dying to put on jeans and a sweatshirt so on my next cruise, I made sure I brought them and I was so glad that I did!!
Re: Our first cruise upcoming May 2, 2003
Pack everything you think you'll need then unpack 1/2 of it and double the money you're expecting to need.

WASHINGTON – It took winning a national title for Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim to get over a late-shot loss to Indiana the last time the schools played in the NCAA Tournament.
This meeting, 26 years later, was never close enough to come down to the final seconds, thanks mostly to Boeheim's trademark 2-3 zone defense. Now he has the Orange one victory from getting back to the Final Four.
Limiting Indiana to its lowest output of the season while forcing 19 turnovers and blocking 10 shots, fourth-seeded Syracuse used Michael Carter-Williams' 24 points to upset the No. 1 seed Hoosiers, 61-50, Thursday night and reach the East Regional final.
"Our perimeter defense was tremendous," Boeheim said. "This is one of our best defensive teams ever. They play it well."
After getting past preseason No. 1 Indiana, Syracuse (29-9) will face No. 3 seed Marquette on Saturday night in an all-Big East matchup for a berth in the Final Four. Boeheim and the Orange haven't been to the national semifinals since Carmelo Anthony led them to the 2003 title.
Indiana (29-7), like most teams outside the Big East, isn't used to seeing that sort of thing, and it showed right from the outset. Didn't matter that Indiana ranked third in the country this season in scoring, putting up 79.5 points per game — and never fewer than 56 — while making 48.6 percent of its shots.
The Orange held Indiana to 33 percent shooting and frustrated the Hoosiers — from the players down to the coach, Tom Crean.
"Let's face facts. We haven't seen a zone like that," Crean said. "They're very good. They're where they're at for a reason."


text: my cars had a clunking sound down the front drivers side for a while now, Iv hunted for it and replaced the 2 top wish bone arms and the lower 2, under inspection i noticed the spring had snapped at the bottom, so i got a new spring OEM part from Audi, and took it to a VW Audi indi to have it fitted for £60, had it fitted and the clunk is still there and now there is a rattle, my 1st views was the shock was stuffed and now the new spring was fitted it was exposing that fact, so i take the car back and offered them the job of finding the clunk and fixing it, they had the car for a day, and came back with nothing, i asked them how the shock was when they did the spring, they said it was ok, so we all scratched our heads and i took the car back and they said bring it back after the easter hols, so for 2 weeks ive been driving the car about rattling and clunking, So on monday im planning to take the car into Audi for its yearly oil service, happy days, I take the car in and they call me up saying that there is a rattle and a clunk, i told them yep, you find it you fix it, they came back with sounds like top mount and shocks lose on the top nut, so i cleared the ok to fix it, Audi Take off the old one and call me, The nut on the top of the old shock was as lose as a hookers fanny, and was on the last threads and about to come off, hence the rattle, but the rattle had caused the shock to be so lose in the top mount that the bottom threads have been warn off by the constant rubbing against the top mount, The top mount has now got an oval shape hole where the shock has been rattling about in there, So because the indie has not tightened up the top nut its caused the shock and top mount to damage each other, Anyway Audi have fixed the car and put it back together and the clunk is still there, so im back to sq 1 and £200 lighter because the indie has stuffed up the shock threads and the top mount because they did not tighten it up fully, So what should i do from here, Bill the indie the £200 for there stuff up or let them find the clunk and fix it for free, but im now not sure about letting them touch my car again, Or am i going to get told to get stuffed? Audi will back up my claim and i have the old shock and top mount in the boot of my car as evidence to show them. your views please lads as i'm the type of guy who will buy a tenners worth of petrol and deposit it all in there workshop,

Should Sir Alex Ferguson field a full-strength side at the KC Stadium?
Not even Alan Shearer would expect him to risk his best players ahead of the Champions League final in Rome and he's not complained so far. Anyway, if the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Dimitar Berbatov did play against Hull would anyone expect them to give it their all with the European showpiece just around the corner? Not a chance. Newcastle's best bet is that United's up-and-coming players are desperate to make a point to Sir Alex Ferguson.
Should United be sued if they lose?
Only if they do a Middlesbrough and decide not to turn up at all. Newcastle and Sunderland, as well as Boro to a lesser extent, have spent so much on new players that they shouldn't be in this mess in the first place. They have no one but themselves to blame for setting up this nerve-shredding finale to the season.
And what about Chelsea?
They will have one eye on the FA Cup final so you won't hear too many complaints around the Stadium of Light about managers fielding weakened sides this weekend with just Boro and Newcastle set to lose out thanks to United's success in defending their Premier League title.
So who will survive?
I wouldn't bet on any of the sides near the bottom winning this weekend which will mean curtains for Newcastle.
But won't Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neil do Shearer a favour just to even things up?
Don't bet on it. They might have been buddies on the BBC sofa during the European Championships last year, but these two have history. During his days at Leicester manager in 1998, O'Neill hit the roof when Shearer escaped punishment after kicking Neil Lennon in the face. "You don't do that whether you are Alan Shearer or the Pope," said O'Neill.
So can't Newcastle save themselves?
Even the most optimistic supporter would have to admit it looks very unlikely. The way Newcastle lost at home to Fulham last weekend suggests that Aston Villa will be able to go out with a bang. Danny Murphy was head and shoulders above the Newcastle midfield combined and that should mean Gareth Barry will have a field day at Villa Park with ex-Newcastle winger James Milner destined to put his old club out of their misery and ensure the home side go out on a high.
Will anyone beyond Tyneside care?
Just ask the likes of Wigan owner Dave Whelan and you'll find the answer is yes. And while their players might not be up to much these days, St James' Park remains one of the greatest arenas that English football has to offer so a lot of footballers will also miss the place.
Where has it all gone wrong from Hull to Newcastle?
For Hull: It's got to be Phil Brown's half-time team-talk at Manchester City. Luckily, his players seem to have finally forgiven their manager for humiliating them just in the nick of time. Craig Fagan's equaliser at Bolton will prove to be the turning point in their maiden season of top-flight football.
For Middlesbrough: Steve Gibson tightening the purse strings is the underlying cause but it hasn't helped matters that Boro have sold their most reliable players – Lee Cattermole, Mark Schwarzer, Aiyegbeni Yakubu, George Boateng, Fabio Rochemback and Luke Young – and failed to replace them adequately with the likes of Afonso Alves, Didier Digard, Marvin Emnes and Justin Hoyte.
For Newcastle: For a moment, let's forget about the long-term causes such as the sacking of the likes of Bobby Robson, Sam Allardyce et al and awful signings. This season it has to be their failure to lure Terry Venables to the North-East and then their failure to bring in a proper manager when Joe Kinnear fell ill, entrusting first-team affairs to Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood after a false dawn with the 3-2 win over West Brom. What followed was disastrous with two points from five games before Shearer arrived to pick up the pieces.
For Sunderland: The Tyne-Wear derby at St James' Park three months ago. They could have easily beaten Newcastle after Djibril Cisse put the visitors ahead because hapless Newcastle were there for the taking. But they backed off and paid for their caution when Newcastle were awarded a dodgy penalty and a place in history went begging and Ricky Sbragia set the tone for an overly cautious spell in charge that will ultimately see him return to a coaching role on Wearside this summer with his side crawling over the finishing line at the end of a season that promised so much.
But isn't the North-East famous for being a hotbed of football?
That's what they say. Non-league football - thanks to the likes of Blyth Spartans, Whitley Bay and Gateshead - and junior football - thanks to the likes of Wallsend Boys Club and Cramlington - are thriving in this part of the world but as far as professional football it's got to be the sickbed of football. Sunderland end up as the North-East's top dogs but that's hardly an achievement in the current climate. Yet it will be a cause for celebration because they won't end up with a mountain to climb from the Championship next season.
Route to safety:
- If Sunderland win at home to Chelsea they are safe. If they draw and Hull fail to win they will be safe. If they draw and Hull and Newcastle win, Sunderland could go down on goal difference or even on goals scored.
- Hull entertain Manchester United three days before the Champions League final and if they win they are safe. But if they draw and Newcastle win at Villa, Hull will go down. A defeat will send them down – if Newcastle get a point.
- Newcastle can win at Villa and still go down, if Sunderland and Hull also win. If they draw they need Hull to lose to survive. A defeat at Villa Park will confirm Newcastle's relegation.
- To stay up Middlesbrough need to win at West Ham, hope Newcastle and Hull lose – and overturn the four goal difference between themselves and Hull.

Kell Brook's next fight may be against the victor of a Saturday night showdown in Quebec, Canada.
Home town welterweight Kevin Bizier takes on Romanian Ionut Dan Ion, in an IBF title eliminator.
With talk of a domestic super-fight with Amir Khan meeting little enthusiasm from the Bolton fighter's camp, Brook may now fight one of these two at Sheffield Arena on March 7.
Ion, who lives in Quebec, is 33 and has a won 33 (KO 18) lost two record and has never been stopped. Bizier, 30, has lost once in 24 fights. The pair have slugged out a 12-rounder before, with Bizier winning on a split decision.
Brook's trainer Dominic Ingle said: "We are preparing for a March fight and if there are no injuries it might be one of these two in Kell's mandatory defence of his title. It won't be the same as fighting Khan ofcourse, you never know if fights like that are going to happen. Ages ago Frank Warren was trying to make that, but it never happened."
Kell Brook Arena nights always excite: he has beaten Vyacheslav Senchenko, Hector Saldivia, Carson Jones and Matthew Hatton there.
They also presented opportunities for local fighters like Adam Etches, Sam O'maison and Jordan Gill on the undercard.

Deception Detection Debunked
Evaluating Truthfulness is nothing new, but new technology and training programs based on validated scientific studies have sparked new interest in this field of study. Pursuit Magazine goes in depth about about behavioral science's perceptive on how to conduct successful interviews.
Deception detection is not as simple as many people, who are often times untrained, believe or want to believe. Experts agree that it is a complex assessment and requires years of training to be not only good at detecting deception but also accurate.
Individuals such as Joe Navarro and Mark Frank often revisit training techniques or strategies (either via research for a book or in teaching proven techniques to others) to stay on the top of their skill of evaluating truthfulness.
Pursuit Magazine points out that 'despite what popular books on nonverbal behavior may say, there's no scientific evidence that crossed arms or legs indicate a non-receptive person, or that deceivers touch their noses, avert their eyes, or cover their mouths. Unfortunately, deception detection isn't so simple, say behavioral scientists who actually study communication and deceit using scientific methods. Spotting a lie, it seems, is an inexact science.'
Pursuit interviewed Humintell's Director Dr. David Matsumoto for this article and he commented, "a problem with academic research on the topic: Many experiments are based on low-stakes lies. In the real world, lies that concern investigators or potential employers are usually high stakes—in other words, liars in the interrogation room have a lot more to lose than study participants."
According to Caroline Keating, good liars are ultimately good actors. Her advice on how to lie convincingly is to "rehearse" in order to reduce anxiety. "Good lying, like good acting, is an art that requires a plausible story, well-practiced."
The article also pointed out that Matsumoto has been at the forefront of academic scholarship on nonverbal behavior and cross-cultural psychology. When asked what actions investigators can take to improve their sensitivity to deception, Matsumoto said:
- "Get trained on the VALIDATED indicators of veracity and deception, both verbal and nonverbal."
- "Learn to strategize their interviewing techniques to maximize the potential for them to receive CLEAR verbal and nonverbal signals to interpret."
To learn more about proven, effective techniques used to catch liars in high-stakes situations as well as some history and experts in the field of nonverbal behavior read the entire article.

PCOD is an increasingly common condition in young women.
When I was a student – almost 40 years ago! – it was rare, seen in significantly overweight ( which was itself uncommon!) women in their 20's and 30's. Now we see it in young teens, most of them of normal weight or even thin! What went wrong?
There was a recent report that there are 10 million young ladies with PCOD in India.
PCOD, like any condition, occurs when genetics, lifestyle and nutrition come together to create either wellness or derangement leading to illness. It is very obvious that our lifestyles have changed pretty drastically over the last 40 years, and so have our eating habits. Is it a wonder then, that illness should follow?
What happens in PCOD
- Increased secretion of Luteinising Hormone by the pituitary leads to impaired maturation of ovarian follicles, so that no single follicle matures and the ovum is not released. This leads to anovulation and infertility.
- This also leads to male features like acne, hair loss and facial hair.
- There is Insulin Resistance leading to obesity.
If untreated, the high levels of male hormones lead to endothelial dysfunction and high insulin level causes sodium retention which in turn leads to high levels of the hormone angiotensin II. These increase the risk of developing high blood pressure, altered lipids and coronary artery disease.
The Insulin Resistance can lead further to Type II diabetes and obesity.
The altered features can lead to anxiety and depression, and social isolation.
When the patient does conceive, it may end in miscarriage in up to 40% of pregnancies.
The risk of developing endometrial cancer is 3 times higher than in a normal woman.
What can be done
All these years I have been advising conventional treatment, consisting of glucose-lowering medications like Metformin, even though there is no prospective randomized double-blind study supporting the use, and cycle regulating hormones like oral contraceptive pills and male hormone antagonists like cyproterone. None of these address the root cause, which is metabolic disorder. Nor do they prevent progression of disease.
An integrative Medicine approach does address the underlying pathology.
- An anti-inflammatory diet which leads to weight loss. Focus on a variety of vegetables and a limited number of fruits. Maintain adequate intake of protein and good fats.
- Hormone Balancing using natural, bio-identical hormones, not synthetic chemicals which the body is unable to process safely.
- Exercise improves insulin sensitivity.
- Supplements such as chromium, vanadium, Vit D, which improve glucose metabolism.
- Saw palmetto reduces acne, facial hair and hair loss by reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
- Antioxidants such as omega 3 fatty acids to reduce inflammation and counter the effects of oxidative chemicals from pollution, pesticides, etc.
- Mindfulness, Stress Reduction, Meditation.
This approach can improve the quality of life and may restore normal cycles and fertility. Not to mention confidence and wellbeing.
I remember my patient AK, aged 25. She had never had regular cycles since menarche. She was not overweight but had significant facial hair and required regular maintenance. I suggested treatment and advised her to return in a couple of months. I warned her that the hair cycle is 6 months, so she should not expect instant results.
She returned in 3 weeks as she was going out of town. Her face was clean, which was unremarkable; I assumed she had recently taken care. But no, she hadn't done anything! I was myself pleasantly surprised that she had not needed any care since starting the treatment advice.
A lifestyle approach is simple, safe and effective and can give lasting results.

June 2011, by Mike Antich - Also by this author
Acquisitions by commercial fleets, in aggregate, are forecast to exceed 2011 model-year volumes, but not appreciably, according to a survey conducted by Automotive Fleet of 400 major corporate fleets.
The national economy, from a commercial fleet perspective, continues to be a paradox of contradictory market forces. For example, one surveyed fleet, which is increasing its fleet buy for MY-2012, reports it is doing so because "business is booming." However, another comparable-sized fleet reports its 2012 buy will be lower than the preceding model-year because the company is undergoing layoffs.
Despite these contradictory forces, more corporate fleets plan to increase new-model acquisitions in MY-2012 than those decreasing purchasing volume. However, the overwhelming majority of the nation's corporate fleets plans no significant change to replacement programs for MY-2012 and will acquire approximately the same volume as the prior model-year.
Among the factors influencing MY-2012 purchases are corporate initiatives to acquire vehicles with increased fuel efficiency, right-sizing trends, and capital pressures to reduce ordering volume or decrease the number of selector choices offered to drivers.
It is important to note that several OEMs are running short 2012 model-years as a result of early build-out dates, which doesn't produce an exact model-year to prior model-year comparison of fleet buying intentions.
One factor causing an uptick in new-vehicle orders is the strong used-vehicle market. "We will probably be ordering more new vehicles in MY-2012 so we can take full advantage of the current used-vehicle market," said Jim McCarthy, director, vehicle management services for Siemens CSCM (Corporate Supply Chain Management), a division of Siemens Corp.
This sentiment was shared by multiple fleets responding to the AF survey.
"We short-cycled and refinanced some leases to take advantage of the used-vehicle market in 2010. I plan on doing the same for the 2012-MY, while the market lasts," said another fleet manager who wished to remain anonymous.
Another fleet contemplating a short-cycling strategy for MY-2012 is ADP."With the strong remarketing climate, we are anticipating short-cycling as appropriate and acquiring more than the usual number of vehicles," said Michael Bieger, senior director, global procurement for ADP.
Similarly, another fleet that short-cycled previously is considering doing so again. "We are in the process of deciding whether we are going to do a short-cycle again," said a fleet manager who wished to remain anonymous.
Since the AF buying intentions survey was conducted during the preparatory planning phase of the 2012 buy, several fleets were still investigating the viability of short-cycling and had not reached a final decision. One such fleet was 3M Corp. "We are seriously looking at an accelerated replacement schedule to take advantage of the strong used-car market," said David Haslerud, fleet manager, administrative services for 3M in St. Paul, Minn.
This sentiment was echoed by USG Corp. "With the resale market stronger, we are adjusting our replacement parameters," said Don Schaefer, director, safety and fleet operations for USG Corp.Currently, there is a shortage of used-vehicle inventory in the wholesale market, which is driving up resale values. The shortage of used vehicles is projected to persist through the next several years. The ongoing robust strength of the wholesale used-vehicle market was best summarized by Mike Butsch, director of global fleet operations for Joy Global in Milwaukee, who commented: "It's a great time to sell. Residuals continue to be strong."
The primary factor influencing 2012 fleet ordering is the overall strengthening of the national economy.
"I expect to buy more 2012-model vehicles compared to 2011. As the economy continues to improve, we will be more willing to replace older vehicles," said Lance Keith, fleet manager for The Pape Group, Inc., in Eugene, Ore.
A similar view was expressed by Infinity Insurance Company.
"We are in a good place right now and our company is growing. In the coming year, we are looking to add about 50 to 60 new positions that need fleet vehicles. It is our anticipation to turn over the whole 2010-MY fleet for 2012-MY, which is about 450 units," said Chuck Kukal, supervisor, fleet, mail and administrative services for Infinity Insurance Company in Birmingham, Ala.
Many fleets are continuing to play "catch-up" with their replacement cycle ordering following several prior years of decreased, or in many cases, no ordering of replacement vehicles.
"We had a freeze on vehicle ordering during MY-2009 and MY-2010. We are now playing catch-up with our MY-2011 ordering. However, we did extend the replacement criteria so that orders will be spaced over 2011 and 2012 model-years," said one fleet manager.
Some fleets that previously extended replacement cycling are now reversing policy due to increased maintenance costs and reverting to their traditional replacement cycle.
"We will be ordering more cars this year. Earlier, we implemented a longer fleet retention due to the volatility in our business and this is starting to raise our maintenance costs. Although this was the right thing for us to do at the time, we are now more confident in business," said one fleet manager who wished to remain anonymous.
In addition, the short 2012 model-year with early buildouts by some OEMs is influencing the makes and models selected by corporate fleet managers.
"We are more actively perusing multiple vendors to shield our organization from lack of availability and early cutoffs/buildouts," said one fleet manager who wished anonymity.
The work truck segment (Class 3 and larger) of the corporate fleet market is experiencing growth, while at the same time, feeling strong pressure to control capital expenditures due to high unit costs.
Capital expenditure constraints are also causing shifts in classes of vehicles acquired as illustrated by the following comment from a fleet manager not wishing to be identified: "We will be acquiring fewer trucks as capital pressure continues, but will acquire significantly more company cars as we move people away from an allowance program."
Another ramification of tight-fisted control of capital expenditures is a reduction in the number of vehicle choices offered to drivers on selectors.
"I suspect this year there may be some added interest from our management team regarding 2012 selectors, but I have not yet been advised as to what it will concern. My assumption, however, is that they will want to reduce the number of selector options, perhaps go with an exclusive OEM, to further cost containment efforts," said one fleet manager.
One fleet reducing its new-vehicle ordering volume for MY-2012 is Merck & Co.
"For the U.S., Merck will be acquiring significantly fewer vehicles this year due to capital requirements and an acceleration of vehicle replacements last year. OEM sourcing is being carried over from the previous model-year with no significant change in models," said Joe LaRosa, CPA, MBA, director, global fleet services for Merck & Co. Inc., in Whitehouse Station, N.J.
In some cases, the decrease in order volume from the 2011 model-year is misleading since a higher than normal number of units was acquired last model-year. A case in point is Tennant Company.
"I'll be buying fewer vehicles in MY-2012. In MY-2011, my purchases were up because I was still catching up from the mandate that I couldn't order vehicles following the economic downturn. Although ordering fewer vehicles, MY-2012 should be back to normal numbers," said Stuart Olson, fleet manager Americas for Tennant Company.
Another example is American Family Mutual Insurance Co. "We will be ordering fewer vehicles for MY-2012. We ordered a high volume for MY-2011 due to extended replacement cycles for 2010-MY," said Brett Switzky, fleet services administrator for American Family Mutual Insurance Co.
Some companies have "reset" their order volume to a lower level and are continuing at that level. In other cases, a few fleets will be acquiring no new vehicles in MY-2012.
"We have no plans to acquire for MY-2012 at this time. That might change, but I doubt it," said Ruth Alfson, CAFM, fleet manager/DOT Compliance, Fleet Center of Excellence for Serco Group, Inc., in Fairborn, Ohio.
However, most fleet managers responding to AF's buying inclination survey report that the same amount of dollars are being budgeted as last year, which assures a carryover year for these fleets in terms of ordering volume.
With approximately 70 percent of all corporate fleet managers reporting to sourcing groups, there is increased focus on initial acquisition costs and ways to reduce capital expenditures. One approach is leveraging the fleet buy by sole sourcing. "I am being challenged by my purchasing department to consider sole sourcing," said one fleet manager who wished to be anonymous.
This trend was echoed by another fleet manager who also wished not to be identified. "I want to try to stay diverse with OEMs and convince Purchasing that single source is risky and provides no flexibility. More recently, I am given last-minute information, and I am expected to react in a cost-effective manner. I am constantly trying to educate upper management of the volatility in the auto industry and of model-year buildout cutoffs, long lead times, railcar shortages, etc."
The dramatic increase in fuel prices during the first half of 2011 had a big influence on 2012 selector deliberations.
"Needless to say, fuel efficiency will be a major player once again. Fact is, it is always a consideration, but its impact on our decision-making increases in direct proportion to the increase in fuel costs. For MY-2012, fuel efficiency may not just be a major player — it may be a game changer in some segments," said McCarthy of Siemens Corp.
A growing number of fleets have established fleet-wide average fuel economy goals, which is driving acquisition decisions.
Interesting review. It supports our deicsion to begin moving from 6-cylnder to 4 cylinder sedans and from mid-sized SUVs to smaller SUVs with 4-cylinders. Our conversion is 75% complete as we have accerlated this effort during 2011.I was at an auction a couple of weeks back. It was interesting to note the influence the internet had on pricing. Also, I noted that most Japenese built sedans and SUVs sold above expectation whereas Amercian Mfgrs barely met the expected price.

text: First, determine how big you want the chicken coop to be. Then, check your yard and garage for supplies. You can use old board, leftover lumber and/or plywood. You will also need chicken wire. Whatever supplies you don't already have can be purchased at a hardware or lumber supply store. Make sure you make a door that's large enough for you to be able to keep the coop clean. Inside the coop, you'll need nesting boxes for the chickens. The nesting boxes should be large enough to hold 3-5 hens each. Also, remember to build the coop in a high ground area so that it doesn't flood when it rains. Good luck with your project!
