The trim tag and vin number tag and paperwork is real. I flagged the drive train as a restoration drive train in the report on the car. I am not at liberty to post reports to the public or on a public forum. This car was also judged at the Camaro Nationals this past summer in the "Bow Tie" class and scored a silver. Car was nicely done but there were a lot of little things. I can't believe that someone paid that much for the car with a resto drive train. The X-ram and carbs were real though. Jerry
704ever,What is a hired gun and how was the money wasted? Do you know the whole story? Are you a licensed appraiser? Is there a problem with the work that I do for the Camaro community?Jerry
fordrocks and 704ever, you guys are pathetic. What is your dog in this hunt? The truth has been printed and you can't comprehend it. Waters duped BJ and the buyer of that car.
The final report states that the car has a restoration drive train!! I have photos of the stampings to show this clearly. Not even close to correct original factory stampings. The final report also states that the car showed up on Ebay Oct 2007 as a shell. What has been posted on the Net is a rough draft report that was sent to K. Waters by me during the first week of June so he would have time to finish the car AND have time to correct the issues that I flagged incorrect for the Camaro Nationals, June 20-22, 2008. The final report was mailed out to K. Waters during the later part of June. That has not been posted. It will be posted shortly. The car was inspected on June 1, 2008. JerryAnother note in the report:Special Note: Gary Fitzgibbon owned car, showed up again on ebay 10/07, was in PA. Was still a shell, but it was unclear if it was the original one or not.
gary l,your so smart!now go back and read where i asked my question.yeah,thats right!Then keep up or drop out.before jerrys post.see? he asnwerd my question and then you became so smarts after the fact..ok. back to the corner again please.

These are tough times for general practice doctors. With health reimbursements declining and overhead soaring, it's hard to run a profitable operation. And for solo practitioners, the prospects are bleaker.
That's exactly the problem a fledgling New York City-based startup is trying to solve. Launched by a long-time Larchmont, NY, internist and his serial entrepreneur son, the company, Patient Communicator, sells a cloud-based system that links patients and doctors. The system makes it possible for all non-urgent matters, from scheduling appointments to requesting prescription renewals, to be done online. The result, according to cofounder Jeff Novich, is a substantial increase in efficiency and decrease in overhead. "By using cloud technology, we've been able to develop a system that gives patients more direct access to their doctors, creating a better workflow for physicians, thereby allowing them to have more time for patient care," says Novich.
Novich should know. He and his father, Dr. Robert Novich, a solo practitioner for about 30 years, designed the system originally for the father's practice. About four years ago, with an office staff of three, Dr. Novich was taking about 200 phone calls a day, mostly for non-urgent matters. But he got to thinking that, with the right technology, he might be able to handle all non-emergency communications on his own, reducing the need for any office staff, all the while increasing the amount of time he could spend with patients.
Father and son created the basic outline of an online, cloud-based system that organized patient-doctor communication according to a few categories: requests for prescriptions, referrals or lab results, scheduling appointments, and general questions. They then handed it to an outside developer. And over the next two years, they worked daily to tweak the site. Eventually, they created something considerably more effective than they'd imagined. Dr. Novich was able to serve 1,200 patients without any administrative or nursing staff. At the same time, overhead dropped from about 45 percent to 15 percent and margins increased to 85 percent compared to 55 percent.
Around a year and a half ago, the Novich's came to another realization: By relying on cloud technology, they were able to develop an accessible and affordable system—so accessible, in fact, that it most likely would appeal to a larger audience. Why not form a business to sell it to other time-and-cash-strapped physicians? "If it worked a miracle in my father's practice, it could do the same for other doctors," Jeff Novich says. They decided to form a company, calling it Patient Communicator.
The decision also dovetailed nicely with a growing trend in the sphere of medical practice management: the so-called micro practice movement aimed at doctors working in solo and small groups. A concept popularized by Dr. Gordon Moore, a family physician in Rochester, NY, in the mid-2000s–more specifically, his term was the Ideal Medical Practice–it's all about helping small practices run more efficiently, cut costs and improve patient care, largely through the use of online technology. "The micro practice market is a natural for this system," says Philippa Kennealy, a former family physician who runs The Entrepreneurial MD, a Los Angeles-based coaching firm specializing in doctors.
An active member in the New York technology scene, Jeff Novich had already launched two digital startups over the previous six or so years and was used to hobnobbing with others of his ilk. In the course of his networking, he learned about a new startup incubator aimed at health and medical companies called Blueprint Health. Late last year, Novich applied and was accepted into Blueprint Health's first three-month session, which started in January; Patient Communicator, along with eight other start ups, received a $20,000 investment for a 6 percent equity stake, along with a workspace, access to experienced mentors and the opportunity to meet investors.
Patient Communicator's initial target is tech-savvy practices with one to three doctors, who would pay a subscription fee of $50 to $250 a month. But that's a limited market. Less than 1 percent of all medical practices in the U.S. are micro practices, according to Dr. Moore, and 17.6 percent of family physicians are in solo practices, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians.
So, next step will be to form a partnership with an electronic medical records (EMR) provider, integrate Patient Communicator with that system, and do joint marketing. Another move will be to sell a version to larger practices that allows for only a secure method for patients to contact their doctors with questions in the cloud, instead of other capabilities, like scheduling appointments. Patients will pay $30 to $100 a year to have access to the service and Patient Communicator will reimburse the physician 50 percent of that fee.
Still, it promises to be a tough slog, especially since physicians tend to be conservative about investing in new technology and usually don't have the time to do much about it. "Doctors are not only very busy, but many have been burned in the past by promises of what tech tools can do for them," says Brad Weinberg, a co-founder of Blueprint Health.
Jeff Novich is well aware of just what an uphill battle the company faces. But, he says, "You want a business where you're selling water to the person with their hair on fire. And that's the kind of business we have."

Hi. My name is Monica(as stated on my profile). I was a Fundamentalist Christian for 20 years, give or take times that I "backslid". My family was a hodgepodge of Christian faiths: my mother was baptist while my father was raised as a "good catholic".
At age 7, I had what many would call a conversion. The preacher had just finished his sermon, and I felt the impressed need to become a Christian. So I, of my own volition, converted. My faith was simple: Jesus loved everyone and people of other faiths were okay. My faith had not become toxic until I hit my preteens. At that time, I joined a Full Gospel Baptist Church which leaned heavily on talking in tongues and appearing "reasonable" to outside folks. I took to it like a duck to water, as that I wanted to do what God wanted me to.
By age 13 I was a Nondenominationalist. I had read many(too many?) books on the Christian faith, and believed that if only we set aside our petty denomination stuff and just accepted the whole thing(tongues, casting out demons, God raising folks from the dead). I adhered to the belief that anything not of God(aka Christian) was tainted and therefore should not come into my life. That included people. I still shudder that I told people with complete sincerity that they were going to hell unless they accepted Christ/stopped being Gay. But at that time, I really believed it was the right thing.
By my late teens, I started wondering if because of how I came about, and the things that happened to me in my own life tainted every good thing I tried to do. So, I began overcompensating even more. Giving more, working in the church more, and trying as hard as I could to save myself for the Christian Prince God had for me. Yes, I did believe in the lie that women were made for the home(even if they had a job) and men were to work.
All througout this time, my personality began to fracture. I would have moments of not remembering what I was doing. I'd split during conversations(as in body there brain def not there). I started obsessing over my sins and trying my hardest to be perfect like God commanded me to.
As for church protocol, I was to NEVER be alone with a person of the opposite sex. The reasoning was that if a man was alone with me, he would want to do something. As that men are weak and must be exhorted to holiness by their spiritually stronger sisters. I was to GUARD his purity as well as my own. So it was no small surprise that when a leader at the church attempted to rape me in my own home, I was told that I brought it on myself(by my cell leader, the leader himself, and my own mother). There was a bit of a coverup and we never spoke of it again.
The tipping point for my fall, and then my attempt at a life of reason occured around my 21st birthday. The summer before, I had a complete nervous breakdown: I was fasting more than eatting, reading my bible for hours, and praying for hours without relief. I honestly thought God had rejected me. Found me not worthy and wanted to blot me out from the family. The church I went to did NOT help. They demanded that I either speak to the pastor or one of the smaller pastors of the church and NOT seek psychological help outside of the church. I was told by various people to just read the psalms and "rest in god's love".
By this time I felt so unloveable that the only option was to remove myself. So, on Christmas Day, I attempted suicide by hanging. As obvious by the fact I'm typing, I failed. My mother, once verbally attacking me for my self-injurous behavior, put me in the hospital. I was miserable. But I talked to a psychatrist and two psychologists who gave me the diagnosis of depression. That, and they told me to NEVER go back to that church again, because it appears that it is a bit of an agitator of my depression and very well may be cult like. Since I was unable to really make the descision to not go(I had no car at the moment) the psychatrist and psychology both talked to my mother and tried their best to inform her that me plus that church equals possible dead me. She smiled and said she'd keep me away.
She lied. Long story short(too late), I began to question the church, it's methods, and christianity in general. Because I dared to question the method of leadership and some scriptures, I was kicked out of my cell group and blacklisted. Yes, I was shunned. Rumors were spread. It's still kinda raw, actually. But, after having the veil lifted, so to speak, I began to read. I first got my hands on God is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens. It literally became my tome(I'm a writer so I understood him far more than Dawkins).
It's 2011 and now, I'm making the move from who I used to be. The repercussions still occur(I get glares when I don't agree with scripture,dissent on gay/lesbian issues, etc). I know I'm pretty darn lucky to have gotten out with just a mood disorder, anxiety problems, and ptsd. Folks around my age in the same youth group I was in, weren't so lucky.

That's totally understandable. It's so hard to figure out who to trust because so many times people seem trustworthy and are not. Then you get people pushing you to trust again and override your own feelings of apprehension. I think a person should only do what they're comfortable with, and only if/when they're ready to do it. Don't worry about what others say about it because they're not the ones who have to live your life.
Yeah, I agree, if someone said Jesus is lord to me, I wouldn't want to hang out with them much less date them.
That's really cool that you want to help others. Perhaps some of us can be your clients one day.
Interesting comment. I've been told that writing is a good outlet for trauma - although it can be very painful to "go there." You can write for whatever age you think is appropriate. Although, there ought to be more books for children about good choicemaking - there's the "Maybe Yes, Maybe No" book and the "How Do You Know It's True?" book, but there really isn't much for kids dealing with trauma, cults, safety, atheism, etc.
Hi Monica! Sorry I didn't see this reply! I know what you mean and I'm sorry that you are feeling that way. Yeah, doing the journalling is rough. I can't stand it either but sometimes it is just necessary because it's the only way I can get out those feelings, yup, crying, screaming, feeling panic or unsafe, or just overwhelmed with everything.
I really like that idea about the secular virtues for kids. That sounds really awesome
:-) and I look forward to reading it one day!
Hi Monica,
This is the first time I've seen your blog. It's good and appreciated.
I also went through very complex circumstances culminating in a nervous breakdown. It is over ten years ago now and it took me many years to recover. I won.
I think you will win too.
I agree with you on it being a life long mission. I made a joke about since I know so much about Charismatic Christianity that I could write a book on it.
One thing I can say, you never know how young you are emotionally and socially until you get out of that grip. I think that some of the younger folks will move on pass it, but I also think that it will mutate into something else entirely. Let's hope it becomes defanged..
I'm glad you survived all of that. I feel lucky that I haven't ever faced that sort of abuse and mental cruelity. But there you are surviving it all. Good for you.

Kenneth Lund necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 55 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
WeddingTools.com is an online wedding planning website, that supports the DIY bride in planning her wedding.
We need a new logo for the site.
English "WeddingTools.com" / Danish "Bryllup.dk WeddingTools"
Our site has four main areas, all done by special developed software for making a wedding budget, a wedding checklist, wedding guest list and gift registry. Also, there's a forum / community and a LOT of articles and videos.
Main difference between our site and "all the other weddingsites" is that our WeddingTools software is INTELLIGENT. It learns from the users, so when a user inputs something in her budget, that noone else has, the system learns it and passes it on to all other users that might need it. It also takes care of alerting the user if they might be doing something wrong, late or perhaps too expensive.
Also, being a membership site, it relies heavily on being a COMMUNITY where brides help brides. It's almost "brides only" as grooms doesn't care about online planning and contrary to having a wedding planner (person) doing it all for you, the brides lean onto each other here for support, knowledge and help.
The logo must show these two things - "intelligent software" and "community feeling"
- Logo with graphics and text
- Logo / graphics should be simple, soft, romantic
- Text should be easily read (not too much caligraphic style) and to translate (as we have different names for our site in different countries). In english it's called "WeddingTools.com" and in danish it's called "Bryllup.dk WeddingTools"
- We like typical wedding'ish colours (purple, red, creme) but please do NOT make it too pink
- We need the logo in either at least 2000x2000 pixels 300 dpi OR as vectors, as we need to be able to scale the logo for website, posters, businesscards etc.
- We need to own the rights for the logo completely
- We need a rectangular logo - something in the area of 4:1 (4 wide, 1 tall)
- Colors that fit the red/green/graphite/green soft colors of this template: http://www.templatemonster.com/flas…18939.html
- We like typical wedding'ish colours (purple, red, creme) but please do NOT make it too pink
- Most other wedding sites use logos like rings or roses - we don't want that

All in vain for McCain with a rock like Barack
I woke up this morning to a note folded in half sitting on my sink. On the outside part of the paper it said "guess who the new President of the United States is?"
Can you guess who my wife voted for before I tell you the rest?
She drew stars on the envelope.
I opened it up and you all know what it said. It was neat though, it was like the Academy Awards right in my bathroom.
I can't bitch, whine or complain. I didn't vote.
I don't exactly know how I feel today. Nervous,..oh hell yea. Hopeful,…you betcha. Scared,..not yet…..
To tell you the truth, I'd feel exactly the same no matter who won this election. It's never been about color or gender to me. I couldn't give a sheet about that.
Security was/is a big issue for me. McCain is pro-military, but he's seriously weak on border security issues. Obama is too, and he doesn't mention it often.
You know, I don't remember hearing much at all on the border the last few months from either candidate.
Since the economy went down the crapper, everyone seemed to forget about border security. An open border is an invitation for trouble.
It's like leaving your back door open when you live in the city. Would you do that?
That is my biggest concern, for now.
Putting that aside, there's nothing we can do now except give this man a chance.
I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool to play some 3 on 3 basketball with the Prez?
How many Presidents before this guy woke up in the morning and played basketball before having coffee?
Probably about as many presidents that have lived up to every one of their campaign promises = 0
Has anyone looked at their 401K lately. Go check it out, but be prepared.
Ok on a lighter note…this had me rolling today—>
I opted for a salad at lunch today.
We'll all see what happens to us in the future together, for now I'm not going to complain.
I'd probably have to take a number, and you know how I hate standing in lines…D

Gingerbread House Ideas
December 5, 2010 by admin
Filed under Christmas, Creativity
Gingerbread houses are such a wonderful reminder of the Christmas holidays. This incredible gingerbread house picture gallery has some of the best gingerbread houses I have ever seen. These gingerbread houses are from the Festival of Trees which is a fundraiser for a local children's hospital. Growing up, going to the Festival of Trees was a Christmas traditional. I love going and getting in the Christmas spirit. One of my favorite memories is visiting the gingerbread house village and seeing the amazing gingerbread houses people have built.

Fort Hood shooting: U.S. Army Col. Tara Osborn to head case
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - The Army's highest legal branch has appointed a new judge to preside over the case of the Fort Hood shooting suspect.
U.S. Army Col. Tara Osborn was named Tuesday to head the case of Maj. Nidal Hasan. He faces the death penalty if convicted in the 2009 shootings that killed 13 and wounded more than two dozen on the Texas Army post.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces on Monday ousted the previous judge, Col. Gregory Gross, saying he appeared biased against Hasan. The court tossed out Gross' order to have Hasan's beard forcibly shaved before his court-martial.
Army spokesman Maj. S. Justin Platt said he didn't know when Osborn would arrive at Fort Hood. It's unclear when hearings in the case will resume.

Royce Dates Named Male OVC Field Co-Athlete of the Week
Brentwood, Tenn. – Junior Flying Tiger Royce Dates was named Male Field Co-Athlete of the Week by the Ohio Valley Conference office.
The Memphis native was nominated for the honor after an impressive showing at the Boston-Moon Relays on Saturday.
In the meet, Dates had a great performance in the long jump and although he came in 2nd, Dates beat out 16 other competitors with a leap of 25'1.25."
The jump set a new career-high and is the farthest in the OVC this season. It is also the eleventh best hop in the nation.
Dates is the only TSU track and field member to be named an athlete of the week this season and the first since Daniecce Ward, who won the award on Jan. 10, 2012.
Dates shares this week's award with Mike Viken of Eastern Illinois. Vicken won the pole vault at this weekend's Hilltopper Relays.

I don't want to drown you with runway photos but I need to post some of the NYFW gorgeousness. One of my all time favourites this year was Oscar de la Renta; he had me at that first marigold silk taffeta gown. Look at the details of the black tulle floral embroidered caraco – this is art! (You can view his taffeta gowns in emerald and tomato if you click the Vogue US link below). Words aren't really needed here, I find his entire spring/summer 2012 collection incredibly beautiful and the above photos are just a small part of the beauty.
The name of Oscar de la Renta always reminds me of the SATC scene where Carrie and Aleksandr Petrovsky are talking on the sofa, she reading 'her Oscar de la Renta dress poetry' from Vogue. Then he says: "Oscar is a good friend of mine, I'll tell him you like the dress." She goes: "Oscar? You call him Oscar?" And Petrovsky answers: "That's his name, isn't it?" Priceless.
I'm off to meet my girls. We got a lunch date at a café called De Cafetaria, which I've never tried before. Have a wonderful day everyone!

On November 16, 2005, the Policy and Program Analysis Branch (PPAB) of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) convened a roundtable to examine what core policy issues the NHGRI should work on to help ensure that our greatly expanding knowledge of human genomics is translated into improved health care. The NHGRI Policy Roundtable brought together 19 representatives from government, research, advocacy, health care, insurance, industry, and academia.
One of the NHGRI's major goals is to enhance health care in the USA through the integration of genomic medicine into mainstream medical practice. Genomic medicine is a powerful way to tailor health care at the individual level by using patients' genomic information. By identifying the genetic factors associated with disease, it is possible to design more effective drugs; to prescribe the best treatment for each patient; to identify and monitor individuals at high risk from disease; and to avoid adverse drug reactions. Various NHGRI research programs are already helping to realize the promise of genomic medicine, but many important advances in genomic medicine will only occur if we effectively address matters of public policy.
In tandem with important scientific advances, the NHGRI is already addressing many policy issues related to genomic medicine. The institute continues to advocate for comprehensive federal protections from genetic discrimination by employers or health insurance providers for all: NHGRI believes that such protections are essential to protect Americans from potential abuse of genomic medical information. The NHGRI is also monitoring intellectual property practices related to genomic medicine. Responding to widespread concerns that a "thicket of patents" may slow the incorporation of genomics into the clinical setting, the NHGRI commissioned the National Academies of Sciences to examine the impact of intellectual property [nationalacademies.org] on advances in genomic medicine and is currently planning how best to respond to the report's recommendations. The NHGRI is also working with other interested parties to draw up guidelines regarding the direct marketing of genetic tests to the public. The Roundtable was convened to discuss what further action PPAB should take on these and other issues.
The session began with opening remarks from Francis Collins, NHGRI Director, and Tim Leshan, Chief of PPAB. Participants then role-played a hypothetical scenario in which 'Brad,' a young Biotech executive in the year 2015, visits his doctor and has his genome sequenced to analyze whether he is predisposed to heart disease. Moderator Eric Green, the Director of the NHGRI Division of Intramural Research, revealed the scenario in stages: describing how Brad got his genome sequenced through a referral to a genetic counselor; how he found out that he had three alleles predisposing him to an increased risk of heart disease at a young age; how he was recruited to a drug trial testing the drug "Relaxin," designed to reduce the risk of a heart attack in people with his genetic profile; and how, through taking Relaxin, he lived to old age. At each stage, the moderator challenged participants to offer their perspectives about a wide range of policy issues from the viewpoints of their own professions.
Moderator Kathy Hudson, Director of the Genetics and Public Policy Center, invited the roundtable participants and members of the audience to comment on the themes that had emerged during the morning session. The group discussed which policy issues are most crucial for the future of genomic medicine.Participants agreed that the NHGRI, together with other agencies, has an important role to play in shaping policies related to the integration of genomic medicine into clinical practice. They identified several issues that would benefit from NHGRI leadership or participation. The discussions provided substantive analysis to help the NHGRI determine its policy focus priorities and the best means to accomplish its goals.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today urged residents who live in the neighborhood surrounding Everett Elementary School to welcome volunteers who will install free smoke alarms Saturday, September 19 during the first Lincoln Smoke Alarm Rally.
From 8 a.m. to noon that day, volunteers will canvass the neighborhood, knock on doors and offer to install free smoke alarms. They will work with trained personnel from Lincoln Fire & Rescue, the American Red Cross and other health and safety organizations. Organizers hope to install 500 dual-detection smoke alarms, each equipped with a 10-year battery. The targeted area, bounded by Washington, "F", 10th and 14th streets, was identified by the Fire Department as having a higher than average rate of residential fires.
Fire is the second leading cause of accidental death to children in Nebraska," said Mayor Beutler. "Having properly working smoke alarms is the number one strategy for fire injury prevention because they do save lives. More than 80 percent of fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarm or a non-functioning alarm. That kind of statistic can't be ignored.
Safe Kids of Lincoln-Lancaster County has teamed up with Lincoln Fire & Rescue to organize the rally, modeled after a successful program in Phoenix, Arizona.
I appreciate all the volunteers and sponsors who have come together to protect children, their families and their homes from fire," said Mayor Beutler. "This kind of community partnership is exactly what our Stronger Safer Neighborhoods Initiative is all about. Efforts like this do make a difference in keeping Lincoln a safe place to live, work and raise a family.
Jon Carlson of the Stronger Safer Neighborhoods Initiative, said the City has been investing resources in Everett and surrounding neighborhoods for the past year as part of a larger effort to revitalize neighborhoods and increase safety. Safe Kids Lincoln-Lancaster County, a coalition dedicated to preventing childhood injury, is a leading partner in the safety efforts.
Safe Kids is a program that focuses on a wide-range of injury prevention programs for children," said Steve Beal, Assistant Health Director, Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department. "To do that, we bring together State and local agencies, medical providers, service groups, businesses, schools and others in the community. We believe events like the Smoke Alarm Rally provide a great opportunity to educate residents, provide prevention resources and increase the health of the community.
Volunteers age 18 and older are still needed to help install the smoke alarms, which were donated by Wal-Mart Stores of Lincoln. Those who are 16 and 17 years old can participate if accompanied by a parent or guardian. No experience is necessary. Organizers are especially in need of Spanish-speaking volunteers. Those wishing to help can contact Julie Anderson at 441-8071 or show up at Everett Elementary School, 1123 "C" St., at 8 a.m. Saturday, September 19.
Other community groups and sponsors involved in the rally include Allied Insurance Company; American Red Cross Cornhusker Chapter; the Center for People in Need; Continental Western;Lincoln Firefighters Association, I.A.F.F. Local 644; the Real Estate Owners and Managers Association; Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center Burn Unit; Southeast Community College Fire Protection and Technology Department; Union Bank & Trust; and United Rentals.
Additional information is available on the City Web site at (keyword: smoke alarm).
This map shows GIS (Geographical Information System) information that is interfaced with Lincoln Fire and Rescue Data showing certain fire call types in the city for 2007. This is part of the information our committee used to develop our targeted area for the Smoke Alarm Rally effort.
When you look at the map keep in mind that each red dot represents a potential threat to the lives of many citizens of this great city and is only a visual representation of the actual risk. When you see the big red blotch in the center be reminded that many of the lives that it represents will be touched with the life saving effort of this project.
Close to 150 Volunteers representing Safe Kids Lincoln Lancaster County lead by Fire Captain Jeff Hatcher from Lincoln Fire and Rescue installed 390 dual detection 10 year battery operated Smoke alarms in an area on the south side of of Lincoln this morning at Lincolns first Smoke Alarm Rally. In less than 3 hours over 1,000 front doors to homes and apartments were knocked on in this effort in an area bounded by 10th to 14th, F street to Washington. This area of town has been identified by data from Lincoln Fire and Rescue and the Lincoln Lancaster County Health Department as having a increased level of fire and fire injury activity. "People living in this area of town are at a greater risk and deserve a higher level of protection said Hatcher. This program is designed to do just that. and after today 1/3 of the living units in this area now have that added protection.
Most of the homes in this part of the city are apartments. Residents were given pamphlets, offered in multiple languages, on apartment fire safety and home fire escape planning. Translators for multiple languages were also on site to offer assistance with language barriers. "This was a successful event" said Brian Baker from Safe Kids LLC. " Our volunteers were tireless, they just kept coming back, asking for more alarms to install." "We plan on making this an annual event" Said Baker."
Thank you

A week after the Champions League final and I'm still smiling about the way in which Demento's boys were taught a footballing lesson by Barcelona's pass masters. The most surprising aspect of the victory was how such an experienced manager as Ferguson could lose the tactical battle with the novice, Guardiola.
- How on earth could he think that Giggs could play as a striker ? Maybe he thought he genuinely deserved the PFA Footballer of the Year award ...
- Why waste Rooney out wide on the left ? And leave him there, despite at least 3 changes in formation during the match.
- What is the sense in responding to Messi playing deeper by removing a midfielder (admittedly the woeful Anderson) at half-time ?
Before the game, the media coverage simply did not reflect the views of most fans I know. First, we did not expect Barcelona to be rolled over, simply because they were playing a team from "the best league in the world" (copyright Richard Keys). Nor did the majority of us even want Utd to win, purely because they're an English team. Maybe the nation would have provided this type of support 20 years ago, but now we don't believe in the franchise any more. Finally, all the mid-season talk about the quintuple annoyed the hell out of all right-minded people.
As an Arsenal fan, it was pleasing to see Henry win the trophy, though I would have been happier if he could have slotted that second half chance against Barca 2 years ago, and I was particularly delighted to see the other ex-gooner Silvinho's aging face wreathed in smiles. It was also amusing to see that the mercenary Hleb did not even make the bench. Nice one, Dribbly McNoscore.
It may seem a bit obsessional to be still wallowing in this defeat, but the jokes keep coming, like the advert in a Manchester paper for a welder to put the top back on the bus. Or the delicious irony of Rio Ferdinand opening a restaurant in Manchester called "Bella Roma".
Finally, some great work from the Guardian's photoshop gallery:

Aspen's 3 faces: Luxe, gonzo, kids
Special ski preview
After a day of skiing Aspen Mountain, I sipped Champagne at a packed slope-side party, then bumped into Ivanka Trump in a hotel elevator. On the street, I passed fur coat boutiques, a couple of reality-show celebrities and a tent staffed with models pitching a private jet service.
Had I had truly arrived?
But just a couple of blocks away, storefronts featured tie-dyes and crystals, and a basement bar offered 35-cent wings and $1.50 Budweiser specials. The only "fur" in this bar was the stuffing leaking from duct-taped jackets, and chatter from locals focused on used bicycles rather than new jets.
That's the thing about Aspen. Each time it fulfills one stereotype, it confounds you with another. I discovered during a recent visit that no matter which way you turn, Aspen can be a high-end jet-setting destination, a hard-core ski bum retreat or a kid-friendly campground.
The good life
Aspen often is synonymous with the good life, the place to rub elbows with the rich and famous, to experience the best of the best, from fashion to nightlife, lodging and food. And if you have an unlimited budget (or wisely watch Internet deals), you can get a hearty helping of the jet-set lifestyle.
With slope-side lodging at five-star hotels such as Aspen's Little Nell going for upward of $1,000 a night, lift tickets running well over $100 a day, and $50 entrees the norm at top restaurants, Aspen provides plenty of diversions for the 1 percenters. But the money does deliver results, as the area attracts top chefs, award-winning hotel designers, extensive service staffs and, oh yeah, there are the mountains.
Snowmass Mountain earns its name, with more than 3,300 acres of skiable terrain, a vertigo-inducing 4,400-foot vertical descent, all accessed by an array of 21 lifts. The expansive mountain is peppered with lavish lodges, as well as the top-rated on-mountain restaurant Gwyn's High Alpine, where $25 will buy you a blackened ahi entree with a side dish of spectacular scenery from the deck.
Aspen Mountain, also known as Ajax, features challenging steep runs and postcard views over the city, but nonexperts can still enjoy the views from intermediate terrain near the summit. And where else but Aspen can you expect to find a pop-up Champagne bar on the slopes? Its changing location announced daily on Twitter, the mobile Oasis bar serves bottles and glasses of bubbly under bright orange umbrellas to skiers who thirst to toast each other's fabulousness in the middle of a slope.
This season, Snowmass has been shelling out the big bucks as well, dropping more than $13 million into its new mid-mountain Elk Camp restaurant with seating for 300. Skiers can then burn off the calories and splurge on their turns in the newly opened Burnt Mountain terrain, which had previously been open only for backcountry adventurers.
Later at night in the apres-apres scene, the in crowd hits the notorious Caribou Club, a plush old-school lounge and dance club whose aging clientele sports more touch-up work than a ski repair shop. A taxi driver advised me the best way to meet women there is to "just tell them you own a private jet."
And if you do happen to own a jet, be sure to buy the new Mountain Collective Pass, which includes tickets and deals you can use at Aspen - and when you hop to the partner resorts at Alta, Utah; Jackson Hole, Wyo.; and Squaw Valley.
Gonzo adventures
For those of us flying economy class, Aspen might seem like a daunting destination, but just a short schuss off the beaten tracks lies a pure skiing spot still in touch with its counterculture ski-bum heritage and a launching pad for gonzo adventures.
At an undisclosed clearing hidden off of a ski run at Snowmass, broken whiskey bottles hang from tree branches, bullets have somehow been hammered into the trunks, and photos of guns, knives and Hells Angels jackets flutter in the wind.
Welcome to the shrine of celebrated local Hunter S. Thompson, the departed spirit of Aspen's Freak Power movement. Every longtime resident and bartender has a story to share about the gonzo journalist's life in Aspen.
"He hit me in the head with a fork once!" bragged one local real estate agent to me.
At one of Thompson's regular watering holes, the Hotel Jerome, I enjoyed an Aspen Crud cocktail, a morning bourbon mixed with milk shake. Near Thompson's estate, I stopped by his old haunt the Woody Creek Tavern, which, far from the glitz of the Caribou Club, has a vibe more like Sanford and Son's junk shop, but with cheap burritos and margaritas "too powerful to serve by the pitcher."
The gonzo life in Aspen extends to the slopes. At the top of Aspen Highlands resort, hard-core skiers eschew fat-cat luxuries such as ski lifts to trudge up a wind-blasted, ice-covered ridge over 700 vertical feet into the double black diamond chutes of Highland Bowl. These slopes are too steep for snowcats to plow, so after a big snow, wild-eyed volunteers gather in a boot-stomping, heart-palpitating, lung-bursting frenzy to personally pack the powder and save a few bucks off lift tickets.
At Buttermilk resort, home of the X Games, crazed snowboarders fling themselves like jets from the edges of jumps the size of aircraft carriers, sometimes landing in a wince-inducing rag-doll explosion of limbs and gear.
At the base of Aspen Mountain one night, I watched a big-air competition during which skiers and boarders launched into total darkness like shiny neon bats, hoping to cover the 60-foot gap to the landing area. The halftime entertainment included a combination beer-chugging, hill-climbing race that involved shrieking face-plants and the flailing falls of cheerfully drunken snow swine.
Still later, the dreadlock and hula hoop set packed Aspen's streets for a music festival serving cheap grub and draft beer, where medicinal smoke clouded the air in front of the very same high-priced boutiques I thought defined the town earlier in the day.
Kids are all right
Between all the high-priced glam and the gonzo ski bumming, you wouldn't think Aspen would be a great place to take the kids. And yet arriving at the base villages at Snowmass and Buttermilk at the start of a ski day feels as if you've come to an alpine Disneyland thronged with snow-suited grommets, complete with Max the Moose, a kid-friendly fuzzy costumed purple apparition straight out of a Thomson acid trip.
At Buttermilk, a gently sloped, family-friendly mountain (safely segregated from its extreme X Games terrain), kids are separated into Powder Pandas and Grizzlies and actually ride a "ski school" to ski school - a little red schoolhouse on skis pulled by an ATV to reach the learners' area of magic carpet conveyers and a mob of insanely cheerful instructors.
At Snowmass, the massive indoor hive of the Treehouse Adventure Center serves as a "one-stop drop-off" combination day care facility, indoor fun camp and high-energy holding area for up to 300 children as young as 8 weeks old. Areas are separated by age groups, each with its own day care personnel and licensed nurses, along with an impressive array of activities, crafts, snack areas and a labyrinth of play structures that had me wishing I could shrink myself back to pint-size for a day.
On the mountains, group and individual lessons are split by age and skill levels, including family learning programs that may or may not promote togetherness, but will always be good for a few laughs. And the best part of all is that kids 6 years and under ski for free.
Off the slopes, the Aspen Recreation Center (just outside town) provides access to a slew of kid-friendly activity areas, from an ice skating rink to play houses for a $15 daily fee, with additional kids and tots classes available for minimal fees with reservations. Add to a family trip some guided snowshoe tours, snowcat sing-along expeditions and marshmallow roasts round a campfire in Snowmass village, and you'd think Aspen was designed purely as a winter camp for little kids.
In the end, Aspen really is a choose-your-own adventure campground, which just happens to have some of the best skiing on Earth - it doesn't matter if you prefer it with hot dogs and PBR in a basement, Champagne and caviar in a penthouse, or some gummy bears in a playhouse.

Name All the Animals -- Or At Least the Bears
Don't feel dumb if you didn't know that until now. I, myself, was not aware of this until just recently. I guess I just assumed that bears, if they actually have names, wouldn't all have the same name. Doesn't that make things awfully confusing at the country jamboree? Do they have last names so they can be "Chris R" and "Chris D" like kids in elementary school? Also, I guess I thought bears would have cooler, tougher names like "Chuck" or "Norris" or "Chuck Norris." Not that Chris isn't a great name, it's fine, it just isn't what I pictured as the perfect moniker for a bear.
Meg is the one who set me straight.
Last weekend Ryan and I decided to have a date night and let Meg have a sleepover with at her Grandparents. Because my parents are on a relentless quest to dominate Meg's affections the night not only included pizza, but also a trip to the toddler hysteria inducing, wallet draining "Build a Bear Workshop" There Meg selected out a large, pink, fuzzy bear. She went through all the rigmarole of giving it a heart, watching it get fluffy innards, picking out the perfect tutu to match it's eyes, and giving it a name. The name she picked? Not Bubbles, or Fluffy, or Angelina, but Chris, of course.
We don't know anyone named Chris.
That's a lie.
Everyone knows someone named Chris.
However, the Chrises in our lives aren't people that Meg interacts with, and certainly aren't ones she would want to name a bear after. She has no Chrises in her various classes or play groups. We racked our brains trying to think of where she came up with Chris. Books? Not that we know of. Movies? Nope. Songs? Bands? Beat poets? We could find no reason in her seemingly Chris-free existence.
On Monday, Meg told us that not only is her pink bear named Chris, but her much loved, smaller, brown teddy bear is also named Chris. I asked her if her stick horse was named Chris as well. She looked at me like I was high. "No," she said, "that's a horse." I felt chastened.
Then, on Friday, Meg got to meet real bears.
No, it wasn't a cage fight. Nor was it an incident that will soon be turned into a Lifetime movie starring Tori Spelling as Meg.
Baby bears were brought into my office to promote an outdoors show going on. They were about the size of cats, and one of the cutest damn things I have ever seen. Meg was especially taken with them, and wanted me and Ryan to pet them along with her and the other kids who had been brought in.
"Daddy, pet Chris," she said. Ryan explained to her that we had left Chris, both of them, at home. "No, Daddy," she explained, "not those Chris, this Chris."
That's when we figured out that all bears are named Chris.
I don't know how Meg gained this knowledge. Maybe the fact we called her "little bear" as a baby gave her some kind of physic bond with her ursus brethren. Maybe at her age she still is in touch with her "wild spirit." Maybe she's just messing with us.
Whatever the case, from now on, until the day I die, whenever I see or hear about a bear, the name whispered in the back of my mind will be "Chris."
I won't ever say it out loud though. I don't want people to look at me strangely.

India's manufacturing sector activity contracted for the third straight month in October amid falling levels of production and new orders, as the business climate within the country remained tough.
The HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for the manufacturing industry stood at 49.6, unchanged since September, indicating a third month of successive deterioration of business conditions across the country.
"Manufacturing activity contracted for the third consecutive month in October. Order flows remain weak, despite a bounce-back in export orders after two months of decline. Moreover, businesses continue to cut back purchases and a rise in inventories suggest that output will remain subdued," said Leif Eskesen, Chief Economist for India & ASEAN, HSBC.
Demand for the country's exports improved after drying up for a couple of months, as foreign orders grew for the first time since July.
"Reflective of a sustained reduction in order books, Indian manufacturers lowered their production volumes in October," HSBC said.
It further added that "although modest, the pace of decline accelerated from September. Incoming new work also fell at a faster rate, with survey participants commenting on weaker demand and a difficult economic climate. Some firms indicated that the cyclone Phailin had also led to fewer numbers of new orders placed."
"Input price inflation accelerated further despite weak growth backdrop, as effects of the depreciated exchange rate continue to pass through. Saddled with additional costs, firms decided to lift output prices to protect margins. This suggests the RBI has to continue its staring contest with inflation," Eskesen added.
According to HSBC, inflationary pressure persisted in October, with input cost inflation accelerating to a 16-month peak and selling prices rising at the fastest pace since February.
Indicating worsening of the price situation, inflation - wholesale as well as retail - had spurted in September.
While the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) based inflation climbed to 7-month high of 6.46 per cent, the one based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) inched closer to double digit at 9.84 per cent, it said.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its October 29 policy review, hiked the key lending rate by 0.25 per cent to contain inflation in continuation of its hard-line stance.

So in this light, and in conjunction with this years signing, we are also pleased to annouce a Gallery Showing of his art, and a reception the night before.
At this reception you can get a sneak preview of the photographic art (it is AWESOME - believe me) and of course purchase any you like, and bring your items to be signed at the reception as well with the above price structure. Here is the information on the reception and gallery showing:
January 31, 2003 Reception 7PM until 10PM
February 1st and 2nd, 2003 Gallery Showing 10AM until 5PM
to be held at:
Uncle Al's Time Capsule140 E. 4th AvenueMount Dora, Florida 32757-5584(352) 383-1958 www.sign-here.com
This will be held in conjunction with a HUGE Arts Festival in Mount Dora, a small artsy town northwest of Orlando. As it draws a bunch of people we would suggest contacting local motels for reservations NOW. The next largest town is Sanford, Florida and of course, its not far from the I-4 corridor of Orlando. Also, Leesburg and Eustis are not too far either. Make it a long weekend and enjoy Disney/Universal and heck Gatorland too! <G>
Al Wittnebert, our host for the reception and gallery showing is a well respected autograph dealer with over 30 years of professional experience and is the Secretary - Treasurer of the UACC. Not to mention a super neat guy with a huge selection of items. He is also an accomplished framer and will offer framing for any of the Colonel's photographic art if you desire, with shipping.
For those overseas, look for a possible announcement about an appearance in England, hopefully to be announced in the next couple of weeks.

I'll be there on the Saturday only, and I usually only stay until the early afternoon, athough I hope to attend Al Wordens lecture this year.
Still I don't mind a round in with whatever money I have left (after I have trawled the stalls of course!)

I'm not too sure what day I'll be there, probably Saturday as I'll be driving up from South London.
I`m sorry...its an awful journey along the old M1.Your right though I shouldnt moan. I havent got to fly .. and the drive. (You`ll probably get there quicker than me!! tried the M1 lately). Never mind I`ll buy you a drink when we eventually get there.

I'll be flying in from Helsinki to London, then travel by train to Northampton.. But I've already done it two years ago, and it was worth it! I just hope they will get a few more space guests to add to the list this year!

WASHINGTON — Nearly a decade after the last Al Qaeda detainee was waterboarded, Americans still know little about what the CIA did to its prisoners, or whether it worked.
President Obama decided against an investigation to hold accountable George W. Bush administration and CIA officials who conceived and carried out what he and others believed were acts of torture. And a criminal investigation ended last year with no charges and no public report.
But now, a Hollywood movie has put renewed pressure on CIA officials to reveal whether simulated drowning and other harsh techniques elicited valuable intelligence, as the agency has long contended.
"Zero Dark Thirty," made by Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal after extensive consultation with CIA officers, is sparking a new quest for answers, in part because it suggests that torture by CIA officers was instrumental in pinpointing Osama bin Laden's hide-out in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

My great, great grandmother, Margaret Jane Moore died in Wallangarra, Queensland on 1st August 1923. The following year two In Memoriam notices appeared in The Brisbane Courier.
|The Brisbane Courier, 1st August 1924, p. 6
However, it is the second notice that interests me the most. If is from her daughter Maggie and granddaughter Ivy.
I would love to contact any descendants of Ivy, the daughter of Maggie (Margaret). If anyone comes across this post and has information please contact me via the Email link on the View my complete profile link. I believe that if Ivy is still alive she would be about 97 years old in 2012.

Is Chelsy Chav?
I don't think so but Karen L and I were debating it the other night at the Sanderson Hotel. She says yes, I say no…You?
Here's Chelsy arriving at Heathrow yesterday, likely joining Hot Harry on a Horse at the Concert for Diana on Sunday.
Girl can fill out a pair of jeans, that's for sure. And though generic, there is something very appealing about Chelsy I can't put my finger on. A sex appeal that matches his. She oozes sex, can you smell it?
Focus your hawkeye on the two of them during the concert airing in its entirety in Canada on CTV which is a real treat as NBC is only condensing to a one hour special that night in America in favour of Law & Order repeats on what would have been Diana's 46th birthday and of course also Canada Day!

Las Vegas Sands is disputing reports out late Friday that it likely violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
The casino operator is particularly upset with a New York Times headline that said "Casino Says It Likely Cheated," calling it uninformed and misleading reporting.
Media outlets reported that the casino company said in a 10-K disclosure filing Friday said it "likely" violated the FCPA, which outlaws the bribery of foreign officials, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Friday.
The reports stated that Las Vegas Sands, which is controlled by billionaire Sheldon Adelson, said that after it received the SEC subpoena on Feb. 9, 2011, the audit committee of the board of directors opened an investigation.
But on Monday the company countered that its 10-K disclosure did not report any violations of the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA.
In a statement, Las Vegas Sands said its audit committee had only found "likely violations" of the books, records, and internal controls provisions of the FCPA. A potential violation could range anywhere from a single transaction recorded incorrectly to other errors in the accounting records.
Las Vegas Sands reported in January that fourth-quarter net income jumped more than 35 percent, helped greatly by booming business in Macau, the only place in China with legal gambling and a haven for high-rollers. Revenue in the company's Chinese subsidiary soared 48 percent from the same period a year earlier.
The company also operates the Venetian and Palazzo casinos in Las Vegas.

Old Dog Peeing
I rescued a little yorkie, about a year and a half ago, off the street. He was a mess. I tried desperately to find him a good home, but no one wanted him due to his age and problems. So I decided to keep him and give him a good home. He's between 11 - 13, deaf, has cataracts, and is constantly peeing in the house. We have a doggie door which he uses when he feels like it, which is getting to be less and less. I'm so frusterated with the constant messes, not to mention the smell. He's a sweet old guy, but I'm at my wits end. I've tried putting him in the bathroom with a gate at the door, but come home to even a bigger mess. We live in an area that gets cold at night and in the winter; so the option of leaving him outside is NOT.
If anyone can give me any suggestions on what to do, I'd greatly appreciate it. He's still got a lot of life in him and is very happy and content here. I just can't deal with his peeing in the house anymore.
Thank you.
Has he always done this or is this recent behaviour? If the latter, a urinary infection or some other problem is the likely cause. Either way, I'd have him checked out by the vet.
If it isn't a urinary problem - which only the vet can rule out - then maybe he was never properly trained. Have you tried putting down pee pads? Some people never take their little dogs outside but train them to go inside pretty much exclusively.
I would take him out yourself as often as possible, rather than waiting for him to make a mistake. When you are in the house, the best thing to do is tie him to you, so you can catch him before he pees. It sounds like work - and is - but I wouldn't assume that just because he is a senior he isn't capable of learning that going outside gets him special treats and loads of praise.
You are an for sticking with this old boy, many others would have rushed him into the death chamber.
Have you tried doggie diapers? I had a client once who had an elderly Vizsla who used to "leak", and they had her in diapers eventually. It's a little upsetting at first and you feel a little pity for them, but they soon get used to it. Take it off before you go outside. This Vizsla would, after a while, even ask for her diaper to be put back on when she got inside, if you forgot.
"You can't teach an old dog new tricks" is fallacy.
When you took this dog in, you probably felt sorry for it. You've probably not given it any boundaries nor limitations because you didn't want to hurt its feelings. The result is that the dog has assumed the leader position and as such, goes pee/poo whenever and wherever it wants. It may have physical problems, but the cheap and most likely problem is that you haven't asserted yourself as pack leader.
Your frustration is understandable, but dogs view emotions like anger and frustration as weakness. You have to be calm and dominant. You have to reclaim your house.
Never let a dog precede you through any doorway, gate or other entrance way. Never continue until the dog is calm and submissive. Do not talk to it nor call it by name when you are setting limitations. This only makes the dog think you are weak and it won't respect you. Don't proceed to step 2, 3, 4 etc. until you are satisfied with its behaviour in step 1. You'd stop your child from peeing on the floor, you have to do the same for your dog.
bless you for taking in this old guy.
My parents Malamute x is 13 years old and in the past year or so he has been making the effort to go down into the basement, and pee on the concrete floor down there. It really is puzzling why he is choosing this instead of just going out the back door! They have had him checked at the vet, and physically everything is ok, but the vet said it might just be related to him being elderly and somewhat "senile". Does your dog ever appear confused?
just an idea...
Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
i think that the dominant theory in this case is not true at all.
probly just having some medical problems.
leading them through a doorway wont house train them.
search this forum for threads about crate-training and housebreaking AFTER medical issues are ruled out.
