FLORIDA -- Ford trucks are a piece of garbage along with all their vehicles in my opinion. I purchased mine brand new and are scared to drive it. The most recent problem with the truck was I was driving down the interstate doing about 70 miles per hour and the truck shut down on me. Just completely shut off and because of this I lost control of my power steering and you can only imagine what happened from there.
I regret so much selling my Dodge diesel that was a 1998 and only had one problem with it. I now only have under 90,000 miles on my truck and the Ford company refuses to fix it. I am writing this so listen carefully. Never buy a ford vehicle new or old or you are a fool like I was. I paid 57 thousand dollars for my vehicle new and what do I have from it? A vehicle that has made my back worse a vehicle that has no resale value even though I always took care of it and the Ford company does nothing for you period.
My truck now is sitting in my yard in a deed restricted neighborhood and Ford even though they know this truck is a lemon will not do anything for me but when they were selling me my truck they made sure to tell me it was the best truck and best diesel engine on the market period. Be smarter than I was never buy a Ford vehicle period and you will doing yourself a favor. Do not believe what they tell you.
The new diesel I'm sure in my opinion is no better than the older ones and the guys at Ford in my opinion would sell their mother to make a dollar. Nothing but problems since day one I purchased the vehicle and they didn't even document any of my complaints. Hmm I wonder why?
Where to start... ok first we had a recall on this POS. Took it in, Ford tech updated the computer and then the fun began. Left dealership only to get about 200ft down road when truck just about died, spit and sputtered. Went back and they said "oh must be it did not update all the way" so they redid it. Ok... then it was somewhat fine until the erg valve went. That was $600 out of pocket. Then as my husband was in Texas delivering a 5th wheel the radiator broke. Gee there was a recall but some idiot forgot to tell us about it.
After close to $1400.00 to get this fixed and 4 months later we were refunded, not to mention after radiator was fixed those mechanics in Texas cut the transmission line to the radiator which we had to pay for $200.00. Mind you this is a new truck. Then what seems like week after week it was in the shop due to no power near dying of engine. They could never find what was wrong with it. So time after time taking it in to be looked at and losing money not being able to drive what were paying for, and paying for some idiot to fix it when it never got fixed must have spent at $2000.00 in repairs that were never repaired.
Only to have the high pressure fuel pump replaced at 140,000 miles that was 3200.00 in which the mechanic stated the reason it went out was because the wires were bare, no insulation on them so it shorted out pump! Who should pay for that? Ummm Ford??? Nope we had to, on top of paying $3200.00 to get it fixed the dealer scratched the crap out of our truck, broke the back seat, and lost a fuse cover panel. $3200.00 in repairs to have $5000.00 in damage.
Then back to the Texas radiator deal the idiot mechanics not only cut the transmission line but they sliced some of the electrical wires that were shoved up against the radiator. We had to pay for that $300.00 so as you see whoever wrote ford is built ford tough has not drove our truck... so back to the high pressure fuel pump after less than 40,000 miles and 5 months guess what? The pump is going out again. But ford only gives you 12 months / 12000 mile warranty.
Hello this is a work truck flippin idiot. They're full of pooh when they say built ford tough, more like toyota... keep the jobs here and there would not be so many screw ups on auto cars.
BAD smell from engine. Went to three dealers before I found one that even had a diesel tech!!! Dealer said head gasket went out, smell is diesel in coolant, $3,385.15 fix. Picked up truck, headed home, smoking (white and then black when picking up speed). Called dealer, was told it would burn out. Got back home (2200 miles... was out of state when gasket went). Took to local dealer, (said repairs at 1st dealer not covered under warranty and was worried about his 1026 account). This one said "pin holes" in cylinder/s. Need new short block. Approx $8500.
Ford paid 1/2 of bill from 1st dealer and $4000 for second repair. Truck had 72,000 +/- miles. Dealer took for test drive. New engine locked up, need another short block, some rods, pistons etc... Picked up truck, noticed "new" short block was from 2003 truck. This OS the 3rd short block in a month. Still not running right, smell has returned, (tech said did not flush out heater core and could not really get radiator clean), plus and now it also surges from time to time, and a strange vibration at idle felt on the steering wheel and foot pedals.
Going back AGAIN this week. Was without a truck from Sept 7th to Sept 16th, then again from Sept 22nd to Oct 27th... My work truck!! Been a Ford owner almost all my adult life, I'm 50. Had 85 Bronco XLT, 89 Tempo, 89 F-150, 96 F-250 C/C Diesel, 92 Ranger, 02 F-150, and this one, 04 F-250 Diesel. My parents were/are Ford folks too, as is my sister and her family.
Despite Ford's assistance with the bills, which I am VERY thankful for, I just don't know if I will buy from them again. Can't even understand how a block gets holes - fluids mixing - yet NO warning lights, gauges don't register anything wrong, nothing. Chevy/GMC and Dodge will get a VERY close look by me. Will check to see if they have diesel techs / how many and what level training they have. I am a VERY VERY VERY disappointed customer / owner.
GILBERTVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS -- Is it any wonder the American auto makers are struggling? The vehicles they stick us with are junk. After years as a dissatisfied GM customer I vowed that I would never again give General Motors any more of my money. In 2002 I purchased a new Ford Superduty which initially seemed to be a superior vehicle compared to my last Chevy pickup, at least I didn't have a laundry list of complaints within the first few weeks of ownership.
Although the Ford was initially an excellent truck with a reasonable degree of quality control in its manufacture, it should have come with a "WARNING FOR INDOOR USE ONLY" sticker plastered on the window. After 5 short years and only 65k the vehicle has turned into a piece of rusted crap. The frame and suspension are rusting, as well as the oil pan and oil cooler, pinch welds around doors and tailgate are also rusting, and there are large rot holes around the wheel openings. On top of all this the interior plastic is fading, and the truck needs $1000.00 worth of front suspension work every 30k miles.
Out of all this, the only thing I asked Ford to fix was the body rot, a well known problem with these vehicles, many of which are repaired while still under warranty. After working my way up the chain of command, all the way to the office of Bill Ford the message I received is that their vehicles should not be expected to last more than five years.
If this is the best Ford Motor Company can do perhaps it is time for them to go out of business. As for me I am done with new vehicles. I can buy a used piece of crap and fix it for much less than the cost of a new piece of crap that I still have to fix.
The A/C failed on my 2006 F250 and the repair costs $1,650. This was because an internal desiccant bag that bust and clogged the entire system. The only major component saved was the compressor. It is unacceptable that a 6 year old truck has such a problem. I believe this to be a design problem and safe guards should be made to keep the system from contamination. I would like to know what Ford motor co. is going to do about this design flaw. When I got the quote for repair I thought about trading in my truck and the sticker was 62,000. I stopped and wondered if the new truck would have the same problem!!
I will probably never buy another Ford. We had only 9000 miles on the truck when towing our 5th wheeler: The engine brake would only engage sporadically or worse, engaged on its own. Sporadic shutter when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear from a stop. And we couldn't pull our 9800 lb 5th wheeler faster than 45 MPH up a 6% incline - floored! Ford's Engineers hooked up their computers and the computer told them there is nothing wrong with the truck. They will authorize no repairs. They 'experienced' the problems but claim the computer showed none. Total nonsense. They refuse to move forward with any repairs.
One would think that logic someplace would play a roll. This truck is rated to tow over 18,500 lbs. At that rate, this trucks performance would have it roll backwards going up a hill. Lousy customer service and incompetent, inexperienced engineers - Ford Motor Company's way! They are not standing behind their vehicle or what they claim this vehicle is capable of. It ran fantastic before these problems - so the problem now is to get it fixed and Ford won't do it. Shame on Ford!
JEROME, MICHIGAN -- I have a 2002 F-250 super duty Lariat and I clean it all the time and it never sees dirt roads. Well both sides of my bed at the wheel wells are rotted. The driver side is worse. This shouldn't be happening. I see it happens more on the 2002's than any other year. Also they put junk shock on these trucks and the front sway bar bushing to, they wear out right away and clunk like an old 65 pickup when you hit a bump. I think Ford should pay to fix the bed. This is not good! I am not very happy. A new bed isn't cheap either and that's what I would like.
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA -- Thought I would post some info on my truck that I purchased new the end of March 2007. I now have approx. 17,000 miles on it. It has been in for service for a variety of issues and out of service for 45 days to date. I will list a few of the issues for some of you to review. Do not take me wrong I think this is a beautiful truck "BUT"...
With less than 2,000 miles it ran very rough and needed 2 injectors replaced. Ford advised that I will need to run a fuel additive as the Ultra low sulfur available at this time is not up to standards. I complied and within another 2,000 miles lost another injector. Each time is about 5 days in the shop to complete. I continued to experience rough running when the engine would do its regeneration mode for the environmentally friendly clean air... hahah, Sorry to say it happens at least once per tank full of fuel, it will idle higher and miss.
If in park it will idle up to about 1300 RPM. I have been told this is normal and have accepted that. This is just something I wanted to put out there to prospective new owners as what to expect. By 7500 miles it was leaking oil badly, back in for service and a long wait as they had to remove the cab from the truck to get at the engine (27 days out service). My dealer didn't have the equipment and was tooling up for it. Their fine mechanic was able to rig a system up to get body off without new lift equipment.
While this was apart they replaced a wiring harness defect that was dealer notified problem as it lies in the wrong way and heat can affect it (for those of you who may have electrical problems). I drove as a happy truck driver for 5000 miles and then before a trip a water leak, the radiator tank separated. Within a week I started hearing a whine noise, like a power steering pump low on fluid. I now believe it may be a bearing in the Turbo charger? I made appointment to take it back in and realized I was leaking engine oil again.
I am on hold as at this point I felt it necessary to Lemon Law this vehicle. Good notes the truck has loads of power for towing and bed loads. I have put 3200 lbs in bed with no drivability problems. Mileage 12.8-13.3 in town and I am not easy on the pedal, at 65 mph expect 17.8-19.5 mpg (girlfriend gets the 19mpg+ without cruise control, not me haha). Hope this helps a Ford truck owner or shed some light on possible issues with this new truck I have been Beta testing.
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS -- I have a 2002 F-250 XL SD Supercab diesel (7.3L) with 56k miles on it. I bought the truck new and made my last payment on it this month. The truck is used periodically for work about 10-12k per year now and washed regularly.
Would it have killed Ford to used some degree of corrosion protection in the steel. The finish on the rear bumper is peeling off, leaving rusty blotches that look like the truck is 15 years old. The oil pan is rusting through. The underbody (frame, leaf springs, mounts, differentials) look like they've come from the hold of the Titanic and the door pinch seams (on the inside) are showing indications of corrosion as is the gray primered sheet metal under the bed and cab.
For crying out loud, the rear half cab door strikers mounted on the rockers are also rusting away to nothing. They were so cheap and poorly engineered that they couldn't even paint the underside of the floors, rockers or bed in body color and from the looks of it, there is no corrosion protection in the primer as corrosion is forming on the primer. I can't imagine what this truck will look like in 5 years!!! It's a disgrace. This is my last Ford vehicle.
I've been a Ford guy my whole life and except for the mistake of purchasing a piece of crap Dodge Ram 1500 new in 1996 (which needed a tranny at 18k), this is my 5th new Ford vehicle and will be my last. I specifically bought the diesel thinking this would be my last pickup I ever needed if I took care of it and I have so far.
"Built Ford Tough" is nothing more than a marketing tag line. I believe their trucks are junk and they've screwed a whole generation of truck owners. The same people who gave them another chance when their 80s Ford trucks rotted away to nothing, just like the 80s Chevy/GMCs did. If you're paying attention Ford, THIS WILL BE MY LAST FORD VEHICLE!

Literary London (English Department)
Literary London (Spring Break 2010)
"London is an amazing city!"
Imagine departing Sunday morning worship from St. Giles Cripplegate Church aware that a church has stood on this site since 900 AD. Much of the current church building, having sustained heavy damage during the Blitz of World War II, still stands as a testament to the faithfulness of God and her congregation's desire to honor God, reach the community with the gospel, and fellowship with one another. Observing a statue of John Milton below a plain window, we realize that we have worshipped in the same place where this man, and author of Paradise Lost, had confronted the God of all ages. Stepping through the heavy wooden door into the cool spring air, we saw remains of the ancient Roman Wall constructed in the early centuries shortly after Christ's earthly ministry. Now one begins to perceive what physical monuments can only suggest: "London is an amazing city."
From our vantage point high above the city in our London Eye capsule, we scanned the vast expanse below. Writing in her journal, class member Colleen Gilfoy reflected on London's rich history: "It was so breathtaking to see that much of London...to think how so much of this city burned and was restored. Isn't that like our walk with God. We are constantly being purified. We are torn apart but in due time, by Christ's side, we are renewed!" Others in the group recalled the mystical experience of Evensong in St. Paul's Cathedral--no longer as tourists, but as worshippers of God from many nations who were seated, in a sense, with those who have lived and worked in London for centuries.
Of course, we didn't miss a guided tour of the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, stops for traditional fish and chips and meat pies at historic inns and pubs, Indian food, an evening of live poetry at the Poetry Cafe on a quiet side street not far from bustling Covent Garden, and a moving performance of John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation at the Old Vic. Theatre.
Along the way, we talked with Londoners in the parks, bookshops, and churches. We rode the Tube everywhere, observed the pomp and ceremony of the Changing of the Guard at the Palace, and were overwhelmed by the size and opulence of Harrods, one of London's most famous deparment stores. Over afternoon tea, we laughed till we cried, told stories of our travels and lives, and grew closer to one another.
With airport strikes and Tube improvements, we almost did not make it back to Nyack as planned, but God was gracious, and though very tired, we returned from our journey with a new understanding and appreciation for the amazing city of London.

Happy National Cleavage Day!
Apparently today is National Cleavage Day, and far be it from us to miss the chance to celebrate any holiday, let alone one as important as this. This fabulous celebration was started by Wonder Bra, and so that this is more than just a big gallery of cleavage, we're going to paste in some educational nonsense below via Wikipedia :
According to Samantha Paterson, the brand manager for Wonderbra, the National Cleavage Day is started according to a design to solemnise women's independence and power in all facets of life, from their careers to their relationships to their own destiny. Anita Meiring, public relations consultant for Wonderbra, explained the event. "It is a day for women to realize that their cleavage is something unique and that they should be proud of it." Paterson explained "It gives women a chance to be beautiful and glow in the furtive, yet appreciative, glances their cleavage evokes from men". She also explained "It gives men a legitimate reason to stare at boobs."
Yep, that's what we were looking for. Enjoy!

Pet treats of all sorts
I've seen a few mentions of baking dog biscuits among the postings here. Does anyone have a recipe or tip to share? I've used variations on recipes driven by something in the freezer that I didn't want to waste but didn't want to eat either.
I have large parrots and dogs and bake specifically for them at times (and accidently for them at times). One thing I do is throw eggs in the blender shell and all when baking for the birds to boost the calcium. I also include as many carrots as the recipe will hold because they like them baked-in but not alone.
The flock will appreciate your creativity.

February 15, 2014 is known to the world as the day after Valentine's Day. To me it was the deadline to apply to study at the Tikvah Institute. This past Saturday, I compiled my application into one PDF file that included my CV, a personal statement, an essay on the 20th century figure whom I admire, and my thoughts on a significant challenge faced by the Jewish people. I logged into the Tikvah website, attached my supporting documents, swallowed and pressed send.
According to the Tikvah Fund website, "The Tikvah Fund is a philanthropic foundation and ideas institution committed to supporting the intellectual, religious, and political leaders of the Jewish people and the Jewish State." The Tikvah Center for study is based in New York City, in midtown Manhattan. I discovered this learning treasure trove a little over two years ago, when I googled for 'Jewish learning'. At the time, I had just started writing this blog and was relocating to Hong Kong, so I thought I would wait before I applied. Now, more than two years later, I feel more than ready to tackle New York City and the intellectual rigor and challenge of this program.
I applied for three Spring Advanced Institutes. My first choice is the Jewish Idea of God, followed by The Future of the Family and War and Human Nature. Three incredibly interesting topics in my opinion. I also plan to apply for the summer semester as well. Topics like Is Judaism a Religion?, Jews, Power, and the Bible, Reason, Revelation, and Jewish Thought, Zionist Statesmanship: Ben-Gurion and Begin, Divine Justice and Human Creativity in Jewish Literature, and The Rabbinic Mind and Divine Law. There, I just listed all of them! 😀
Will keep you guys updated on my progress!
Keep fingers crossed for me that I will be accepted!

Lot # 1276 (of 1743) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Circa 1930s Vintage New York Yankees Equipment Trunk - Steiner LOA
Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For - $2,644
Vintage New York Yankees equipment truck accompanied by a letter of provenance from Yankee-Steiner Collectibles, the official collectibles company of the New York Yankees which exclusively markets all authentic game-used Yankees jerseys and equipment. This trunk, constructed of heavy wood and metal, was used for decades by the New York Yankees and formally housed uniforms, equipment, and anything else needed by the club on the road. This trunk once traveled with (and held the uniforms of) Ruth and Gehrig, as well as Lazzeri, Dickey, and, later, DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, and countless other Yankees stars spanning generations. As part of its exclusive marketing arrangement with the Yankees several years ago, Steiner took on the responsibility for taking care of whatever old materials were in storage as well as documenting and overseeing the marketing of all current game-used items. There wasn't much left from the really "old days" but this trunk was one of the very few exceptions. Although the Steiner letter does not specifically address the age of the trunk (it has probably been around so long that no one today knows exactly when it was originally purchased), it appears to date from circa 1930 (possibly earlier). The trunk is painted black and features a red/white/blue painted "stripe" design on the lid and front. (It has obviously been repainted numerous times over the years.) "New York Yankees" is stenciled in white lettering on one of the side panels. The trunk is missing its original front lock, which has been replaced by a new locking device affixed to both the lid and front side. Otherwise, it is all original, including the leather handles on the sides and metal rollers along the base. Years ago a Robert Edward Auctions employee had the opportunity to visit the Yankees clubhouse with famed collector Barry Halper as a tour guide. While there, Halper pointed to a trunk similar in age and style to the offered piece, and told an interesting story. The company that made these trunks eventually went out of business, but not for the reasons one might assume. Sales of the trunks were fine initially, but as the years went by purchases declined steadily. The drop in sales was not due to lack of interest or utility. It was related solely to their construction. They were literally indestructible. Once a team ordered one, they never had a need to order a replacement. Whether or not the story of the trunk manufacturer's fate is 100% true, it is certainly part of baseball clubhouse folklore, and was even confirmed at the time by then Yankees clubhouse attendant Nick Priore. At the very least it makes for an interesting side note to this significant baseball relic which has witnessed more Championships and seen more Yankee road trips than any ballplayer in the history of the team. As one would expect, the trunk (41 x 19 x 24 inches) displays heavy overall wear, especially along the bottom, but still looks as if it could sustain at least a few more years of use. Please Note: Due to the size and/or weight of this lot, shipping costs (depending on where it is sent and its method of shipping) may be substantial. Reserve $1,000. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $2,644

Leopard Dress (after Nicky Wire)
Added Jul 6, 2013
by pambox
Sydney, Australia
My favourite band, Manic Street Preachers, don't tour down here often, but they announced they were touring so they could also follow the British and Irish Lions Rugby tour. I don't care about rugby, but getting to see the Manics again – and at both their Australian shows – was absolutely a must. It's winter here now, so I needed something to wear at their Melbourne show that would mean I didn't freeze. I found this Leopard print knit at Lincraft, and it was the perfect thing to use. The manics (or particularly, their bass player, Nicky Wire) have an aesthetic of glitter, leopard print, feather boas, and military prints, so leopard print knit was a shining beacon calling to me!
The pattern I used is a 1960s pattern, Butterick 3635. I'm not a fan of Butterick patterns because they're often badly cut and oversized. I'd hoped being a vintage pattern this pattern wouldn't have that problem, but it was far too long and shapeless when I put it together. So I made the back darts bigger and folded the hem up higher than the pattern asked for, and wore it with a belt to make it fit. Despite that, I do like this pattern, it has French darts which I love, and the collar has an interesting scalloped feature to it, which I accented with brown embroidery thread.
These photos weren't taken on the day of the gig; we were busy during the day and it was too dark in the evening (plus there wasn't anywhere good to take the photos properly). So these were taken at home on a nice sunny morning, but I am wearing the same outfit – pink cable knit tights and gold glittered high top sneakers – that I wore last Friday night.

The 25 Catholic-affiliated law schools in America today have their differences, but are united in offering their students "a connection between love and theology," said John Garvey, president of The Catholic University of America.
Garvey, who became the university's 15th president in 2010 and who is also a member of the faculty of the Columbus School of Law, delivered the law school's 21st Annual Mirror of Justice Lecture, "Catholic Legal Education" on April 25th.
Co-sponsored by The Pope John Paul II Guild of Catholic Lawyers, the Mirror of Justice Lecture was founded in 1986 to "recognize and support the law school faculty whose commitment to the teaching of the law and whose scholarship advances our insights towards achieving justice through law in contemporary society."
Garvey used the occasion to extoll the virtues of a legal education informed by Catholic economic teachings and social ideals, such as the Church's preferential option for the poor.
"A law school where these ideas are in wide circulation is going to have a different intellectual climate," Garvey said.
The university's president devoted a portion of his remarks to the value of intellectual pluralism among a Catholic law school's faculty, explaining that while differing points of view moves debate forward in a healthy way, the Catholic approach to the teaching of law students is essentially collaborative. The resulting benefit to students is more supportive mentoring and better sharing of information within the law school generally.
Concluding his lecture, Garvey touched upon the role of virtue on Catholic legal education, positing that "the cultivation of virtue is an appropriate undertaking for universities," yet noting that its pursuit needs to be a collective endeavor, something that Catholic law schools are particularly well-suited for.
"We come to understand virtue in groups, not in private contemplation," he said.
When his remarks were finished, President Garvey was presented with The Mirror of Justice Scholars Award by Angel Rafael Hernandez, President, Pope John Paul II Guild of Catholic Lawyers.
A nationally renowned constitutional law expert, Garvey has previously held professorships at Notre Dame Law School and at the University of Kentucky. He has also served as president of the American Association of Law Schools.

Quashing the previous rumors that The Expendables 2 would be aiming for a more family friendly PG-13, Sylvester Stallone has confirmed that the film will be getting an R rating after all.
The news comes from Total Film (via The Stallone Zone), which provides the concise quote from Stallone: "After taking in all the odd rumors and hearsay, Expendables 2 is an R."
The call for a PG-13 rating was originally due to co-star Chuck Norris. According to the actor's agreement, there would be no swearing as long as he was appearing in the film. Sly himself even confirmed this back in January.
It's possible that the film will still adhere to Norris's "no swearing" rule. Instead, the rating could have something to do with the film's no doubt excessive violence. Only time will tell if this ends up being the case.

Lot # 441 (of 1727) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1914 E145 Cracker Jack #30 Ty Cobb
Starting Bid - $1,500, Sold For - $9,400
Graded VG/EX 50 by SGC. Extraordinary example of #30 Ty Cobb from the classic 1914 Cracker Jack series from a long-ago original-owner find. This would be a great card in any holder. It would be hard to imagine a nicer example in a VG/EX holder. This card is a gem! The 1914 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb is universally recognized as one of card collecting's great classics, and one of Ty Cobb's most desirable and striking cards. 1914 Cracker Jacks are naturally much more difficult to find in high grade than their 1915 counterparts because the 1914 #144 series cards were only issued in boxes of Cracker Jack, while the 1915 set could be obtained as a factory set directly from the company by mail. Cobb is featured on this card in a batting pose set against a deep red background. Bright and crisp, both front and back, with just a hint of very light honest caramel staining along the right border and on the reverse, which is to be expected with 1914 #144 Series Cracker Jack. 1914 Cracker Jacks, of course, are almost always found with serious caramel staining, but this example has far less than commonly found with cards from this series, and is simply magnificent in all respects. It has outstanding color, an extremely bold red background, and light, even wear on the corners. Centered 40/60 left to right. If not for the light crease near the upper left corner (more visible on the reverse) this card would have received a higher grade from SGC. This is a very rarely offered and ideal high-grade example of the most important of all Cracker Jack or Ty Cobb cards, and one that would be a significant highlight in any world-class collection of 1914 Cracker Jack, Ty Cobb, or classic vintage baseball cards. Reserve $1,500. Estimate $3,000/$5,000+. SOLD FOR $9,400

CRANES loom over the landscape in Dammam, a sprawling port city on Saudi Arabia's Gulf coast. Shiny shopping malls are rising. Flashy cars stream across the causeway towards Bahrain and its nightlife. Young Saudis are making the most of their kingdom's latest oil boom.
In a compound up the road in Dhahran sits Saudi Aramco, the world's largest exporter of crude oil and the source of the country's flourishing finances. Oil prices have averaged about $110 a barrel this year and for months Aramco has been pumping around 10m barrels a day (b/d), one of its highest rates. The Energy Information Administration, the American energy department's statistical arm, says Saudi Arabia's net oil income in 2011 was $311 billion. Prices were lower then; this year the country will earn even more. (…)

It is possible that the main title of the report Leiomyosarcoma, Inferior Vena Cava is not the name you expected.
Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is an extremely rare malignant (cancerous) tumor arising from the smooth muscle lining the walls of the large vein that carries blood from the lower body to the heart (inferior vena cava). There are essentially two types of muscles in the body - voluntary and involuntary. Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles - the brain has no conscious control over them. Smooth muscles react involuntarily in response to various stimuli. For example, the smooth muscle in walls of blood vessels contracts to help regulate blood flow.
Leiomyosarcomas are a form of cancer. The term "cancer" refers to a group of diseases characterized by abnormal, uncontrolled cellular growth that invades surrounding tissues and may spread (metastasize) to distant bodily tissues or organs via the bloodstream, the lymphatic system, or other means. Different forms of cancer, including leiomyosarcomas, are graded according to certain histological parameters evaluated microscopically and this grade (low, intermediate, or high) gives the clinician an indication of the potential clinical aggressiveness of the tumor.
Leiomyosarcoma is classified as a soft tissue sarcoma. Sarcomas are malignant tumors that arise from the connective tissue, which connects, supports and surrounds various structures and organs in the body. Soft tissue includes fat, muscle, nerve, tendons, tissue surrounding the joints (synovial tissue), and blood and lymph vessels. The exact cause of sarcomas including leiomyosarcomas is unknown.

Feline oral squamous cell carcinoma: An overview
In four studies comprising 81 cats with oral squamous cell carcinoma, 12 cats (14.8%) had documented metastasis to the ipsilateral submandibular lymph node.3-6 The actual rate of metastasis may have been somewhat higher, as not all cases had cytologic or histologic lymph node evaluation. In eight cats (10%), metastasis was diagnosed at presentation,3-5 while four cats (5%) developed lymph node metastasis after primary tumor treatment.6 Of these four cats, one was euthanized because of the metastasis; the other three were euthanized because of local tumor progression.6 Thoracic radiographs were evaluated in three of the studies, comprising 74 cats, and no evidence of thoracic metastasis was present at initial presentation in any patient.3,5,6 In one cat that had lymph node metastasis, follow-up thoracic radiographs 16 months after treatment showed no evidence of pulmonary metastatic spread.4 These findings are consistent with the belief that feline maxillofacial squamous cell carcinomas have a low metastatic rate and that local disease is usually the cause of death.
The average age of cats with oral squamous cell carcinoma is 12.5 years, with a range of 3 to 21 years. No significant sex or breed predilection is associated with this tumor. Although several environmental risk factors have been recognized, the cause of feline oral squamous cell carcinoma remains poorly defined. Various potential contributing factors are discussed below.
Passive smoking
One clinical study found that cats exposed to household environmental tobacco smoke appear to have an increased risk of developing oral squamous cell carcinoma.7 Cats that had ever lived in a household with a smoker had a nonstatistically significant twofold increase in risk of oral squamous cell carcinoma compared with cats in nonsmoking households. Cats whose owners reported smoking one to 19 cigarettes a day had a statistically significant fourfold increase in the risk of oral squamous cell carcinoma compared with cats in nonsmoking households.7
Another study of p53 expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma determined that cats exposed to any environmental tobacco smoke were four and a half times more likely to overexpress p53 in their tumors than were unexposed cats.8 The p53 protein, the product of a tumor suppressor gene, regulates cell growth and proliferation and prevents unrestrained cell division after chromosomal damage. Abnormal p53 accumulates in the cell, unlike normal, wild-type p53, and can be detected via immunohistochemistry. The absence of functional p53 increases the risk of developing various cancers, and it is suggested that p53 may be a possible site for carcinogen-related mutations within some squamous cell carcinomas.8

Flyers rally in third period to down Montreal
Philadelphia, PA – The Philadelphia Flyers scored three times in the final 5:06 of the third period and continued their playoff push with a 5-3 come-from-behind win over the Montreal Canadiens.
Montreal grabbed a 3-2 lead after Brandon Prust and David Desharnais tallied 20 seconds apart late in the second period. The Canadiens then appeared to sit back and the Flyers continued to apply the pressure before finally breaking through in the latter stages of the contest.
Ilya Bryzgalov faced only two Montreal shots in the third and finished with 14 saves for the Flyers, who have won three straight games for the first time this season and are four points out of a playoff spot.
"We have a never quit attitude and we're getting rewarded for it," said Flyers forward Brayden Schenn. "It doesn't matter if we're down two or up one, we're still working hard in the third periods and trying to win hockey games. We got to keep it going."
Carey Price stopped 29 shots for Montreal, which has dropped five straight at the Wells Fargo Center. The Northeast Division-leading Canadiens had their winning streak snapped at three games.
"We just didn't match their intensity, it's just that simple," said Montreal head coach Michel Therrien.
A common theme developed for the Flyers as four of their goals came as the result of friendly caroms.
Philadelphia tied things up when Bruno Gervais' shot went in off the right skate of a crease-crashing Wayne Simmonds at 14:54 of the third.
Erik Gustafsson then made a move around a Montreal player and had his centering feed to Matt Read go in off a Montreal player for the go-ahead marker with 3:36 remaining.
An empty-netter by Jakub Voracek sealed it with 39 seconds to go.
Alexei Emelin opened the scoring in the first period for Montreal. Emelin took a drop pass from Max Pacioretty and fired a wrister from up high that beat Bryzgalov on the blocker side at the 13:13 mark.
The Flyers moved ahead in the second period.
Price repelled a shot fired by Sean Couturier, but the rebound was directed into the Montreal net by Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban's skate at 4:47.
Later on, Luke Schenn missed the net with a right-point blast, but the puck bounced off the end boards and came out the far side right to Simon Gagne. The veteran forward then sent a shot from the left wing into an open net with 4:17 remaining.
The Flyers' advantage was short-lived, however, as Prust put home a feed from Jeff Halpern 46 seconds later.
Game Notes
The Flyers won for just the second time this season when trailing after two periods (2-11-0) ... Montreal forward Tomas Plekanec and Philadelphia grinder Zac Rinaldo both left the game with lower-body injuries and did not return ... Flyers defenseman Oliver Lauridsen picked up his first NHL point with an assist on Gagne's goal ... The Flyers made one trade prior to Wednesday's deadline, acquiring goaltender Steve Mason from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for netminder Michael Leighton and a 2015 third-round draft pick. Mason won the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie following the 2008-09 season ... The Flyers also claimed forward Adam Hall off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning ... North Dakota forward Danny Kristo signed an entry- level contract with Montreal, nearly five years after he was selected by the organization in the second round (56th overall) of the 2008 draft. Kristo, who signed a two-year deal, will report to Hamilton of the American Hockey League.

VirtualBox, the Sun/Oracle virtualization platform, has supported OpenGL acceleration and Direct3D acceleration within virtual machines for more than two years. When the host system has hardware GPU acceleration, OpenGL/Direct3D calls can be passed from the guest to the host when the VirtualBox guest driver is installed. There has been the Linux 3D support since VirtualBox 2.2 and was initially limited to OpenGL 1.4 support and in the summer of 2009 it turned to OpenGL 2.0. We had not delivered any early benchmarks as the initial support was too buggy, but even with the recently released VirtualBox 4.0, while the support is usable and stable for the most part, it is still far from being very efficient and will crash under some OpenGL software.

Vermont, Planned Parenthood settle campaign complaints
MONTPELIER -- An affiliate of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England will pay $30,000 to the state of Vermont to settle a claim that it violated the state's campaign finance laws in 2010.
Attorney General Bill Sorrell said the group's PPNNE Action Fund spent about $119,000 on political advertisements advocating against Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Dubie without filing the required reports at the secretary of state's office.
The attorney general said the fund also got contributions from individual donors in amounts greater than the $2,000 limit allowed by law.
Planned Parenthood had argued the Action Fund was an independent-expenditure committee not bound by the contribution limits in the campaign finance law, but agreed to the settlement to avoid the cost of litigation.
Vermont law requires all PACs to register and file reports of their expenditures. While the law also limits the size of contributions to all PACs, the attorney general is not enforcing the contribution limits on PACs that engage in only independent expenditures -- those not connected with any campaign.
Assistant Attorney General Eve Jacobs-Carnahan said the office adopted that enforcement policy in July 2012 after the U.S. District Court for Vermont said such limits might not be constitutional. That decision, in a case brought by the Vermont Right to Life Committee, is currently on appeal to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York.
Jacobs-Carnahan said a separate campaign finance arm affiliated with PPNNE, PPNNE VT-PAC, was not alleged to have violated the law.
But in a statement, the attorney general's office said there was "significant overlap" between PPNNE VT-PAC, and the Action Fund.
The attorney general maintained "a full examination of the operations of PPNNE Action Fund and PPNNE VT-PAC would reveal significant overlap in their planning, activities, and finances, which would establish that PPNNE Action Fund did not make only independent political expenditures."
The 2010 campaign marked the first time since 2002 Vermont had an open seat in the governor's office, and the hard-fought contest, won by Democrat Peter Shumlin, triggered several allegations the campaign finance law had been violated:
-- Green Mountain Future -- affiliated with the Democratic Governors' Association -- was found to have violated the law by skipping campaign finance reporting requirements and failing to fully identify itself in advertisements.
-- The Republican Governors' Association was found to have improperly shared polling information with Dubie's campaign.
-- A separate complaint similar to the one brought against Planned Parenthood is still pending against the RGA in Washington County Superior Court, Jacobs-Carnahan said.
PPNNE spokesman Nick Carter said the group and its affiliated political arms had tried to comply with the law.
"Planned Parenthood of Northern New England Action Fund was one of many groups that misinterpreted Vermont's finance laws during the 2010 gubernatorial election, which due to the evolving case law were unclear at the time," Carter said in an email. "We have since worked closely with the Vermont attorney general's office to ensure we are in compliance, and will continue to do so. "

Bailey House observes the 25th annual World AIDS Day by opening our first major expansion in over a decade – the new Behavioral Health Clinic in East Harlem, a neighborhood with the City's highest rate of psychiatric hospitalizations and the second highest rate of HIV incidence. It will be housed at our Rand Harlan Center for Housing, Wellness and Community, and will provide a variety of mental health and other services by licensed therapists sensitive to the challenges of low-income people living with HIV/AIDS traumatized by poverty, violence, incarceration and chronic illnesses. The clinic will be LGBT inclusive, harm-reduction based, trauma-informed and open to all.
Why mental health services now? For 30 years we have watched stable housing transform lives. Whether in 1984 when AIDS was considered terminal and some residents lived only weeks or three weeks ago when some residents marked their 20 anniversary in our supportive housing. The miracle of a permanent home is clear.
Since we opened in 1983, and our clients started to lived longer, we also began to see what gets in the way. Depression, anxiety disorders, untreated bipolar or other chronic mental illness destabilize and are major barriers to accessing and staying in healthcare. Often these treatable illnesses, if left un-managed. are also a major barrier to housing retention, stability and the future. They ruin lives.
As a fans of Carrie, the bipolar CIA agent on TV's Homeland, know, treatment makes a powerful difference. Our Homeland heroine, when she's stable, saves the country from clandestine terrorists. When she goes off medication, she's her own worst enemy. The good news is that like the fictional Carrie, millions of people live functional, successful lives with the help of good mental health care. Our current and future clients deserve no less.
We dedicate this opening to Rodger McFarlane, a legendary HIV/AIDS activist and one of the first board members of Bailey House. Four years ago, Rodger, after a brilliant career including positions in Navy Special Ops, GMHC, Broadway Cares and the Gill Foundation, took his own life. The once brilliant man who we loved so much couldn't see a future beyond his depression, physical or psychic pain. By opening this clinic today, we hope we can help others move past similar challenges to the point where life, stable housing, wellness and community are their future.

Panthers edge Senators
Sunrise, FL – Dmitry Kulikov scored a go-ahead, power-play goal in the third period and Scott Clemmensen outplayed the returning Craig Anderson in leading the Florida Panthers to a 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators.
Clemmensen made a season-high 40 saves and Marcel Goc added another goal for the Panthers, who still sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference despite winning four of their last five games.
"You just keep playing, you just try to stop that next shot," said Clemmensen.
Anderson, sidelined since Feb. 21 with an ankle injury, faced just 17 shots and allowed two goals in defeat.
The Senators, who are currently sixth in the East standings, have dropped four straight and are winless three games into a seven-game road trip.
"When you're down to 10 games left in your season, I think that's more of a motivator than anything else," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said. "I thought we dominated the game for the most part, but we got goalied. We've done that to other teams in the past."
Crisp passing helped the Senators score at the 12:26 mark of the opening period, as Mika Zibanejad controlled the puck behind the net and threw the puck out front to Jakob Silfverberg, who found an open Cory Conacher on the left doorstep for an easy tap-in.
Goc tipped in Tomas Fleischmann's point shot 68 seconds into the middle period, and Clemmensen's 14 saves in the frame kept it even heading into the third.
Shortly after Ottawa defenseman Sergei Gonchar was whistled for holding, Kulikov beat Anderson with a wrister from the point with 9:14 left in regulation.
Florida killed off a two-minute minor on Peter Mueller late in the game and survived a breathless final minute after Ottawa pulled Anderson for an extra attacker. Clemmensen was tested with 16 shots over the final 20 minutes.
Game Notes
Anderson was 8-4-2 with a 1.49 goals against average and .952 save percentage before getting injured ... Ottawa had won 11 of the previous 12 meetings and was looking to sweep the three-game season series.

Brooke Burke-Charvet, cohost of "Dancing With the Stars," has thyroid cancer and is looking at surgery, she announced Thursday in a video to her fans.
"I'm going to have a have a nice big scar right here across my neck," the 41-year-old mother of four says, making a cutting gesture with her finger across her throat. "And I don't get to just walk around and pretend like nothing happened or not follow up or not share it because it's going to be pretty much dead center."
She'd left fans hanging in July after she shared on ModernMom.com that she'd gotten a biopsy, then didn't follow up with the results. That biopsy came after she'd delayed a recommended ultrasound for eight months, changing her mind only after talking to a friend who was battling thyroid cancer.

Most FCPX users know well that getting to grips with the Magnetic Timeline (Primary Storyline) takes some time and effort before one can unlock its full potential. What's more, there is a myriad of users who have been accustomed to the layout and functionality of the good old FCP 7 who find the FCPX innovative editing workflow too odd and overwhelming, to say the least.
