New Car Review Video
2013 Buick Encore: New Car Review Video
Since the crossover segment is the fastest growing vehicle class in the country, Buick wanted to jump on the bandwagon with the all-new 2013 Buick Encore. Even though Buick has been mostly on the sidelines of the crossover game -- with just the rebadged Buick Enclave -- the Encore has hit the ground running and is aiming for first place.
The exterior of the all-new Encore combines a sleek, sloped hood and windscreen with some sculptured sheet metal along both sides that gives it a forward-motion feel. With a slant-style chrome grille comparable to other Buick models, the front end has a dramatic and sporty look.
Inside, trim levels range from entry-level Base to the all-out Premium model. However, even the Base has some great premium features, including standard 6-way power driver's seat, USB, auxiliary and Bluetooth inputs, and a backup camera. On the Premium trim version, the 2013 Encore comes with increased sound insulation and uses three microphones to neutralize road noise with electronic counter-tones through the premium Bose audio system.
The 2013 Encore is powered by the same turbocharged 1.4-liter inline-4 engine that Chevy uses in the Sonic RS and upper trims of the Cruze. At 138 horsepower, the engine is potent enough to charge down the highway as needed, but it's not meant for the speedway. The only transmission available is a 6-speed automatic that delivers all the power through the front wheels. The Premium trim does have an option for an all-wheel-drive configuration.
Fuel economy for many is priority number one. If that describes you, the front-wheel-drive version of the Encore is capable of 25 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway, while the all-wheel-drive version will net a few mpg less.
The entry price of only $24,200 for the Base 2013 Encore is a deal. For the all-wheel-drive Premium, you'll be looking at an extra $5,000 or so.
Many manufacturers offer options in this segment, but the closest in terms of budget, style and feel would be the MINI Cooper Countryman and the Nissan Juke. Even though both offer unique looks, neither offers the upscale feel and flavor of the Encore.
The 2013 Buick Encore is not a family shuttle like the Enclave, but it can be the rookie of the year in the compact crossover segment. With a high-quality interior, lots of features and good fuel economy, this capable crossover brings a touch of class to the small SUV market.

With 23 hours a day to test the system, inmates serve as a red team
When the Colorado Department of Corrections designed a high-speed network to deliver services to the cells of prisoners who are locked up for most of the day, they needed to make sure it was secure.
"We kept it very open and simple," said John Jubic, the Department of Corrections' end-user solutions manager. "The security behind it isn't simple."
As it turned out, when the facility opened in September 2010, the prisoners were both a security liability and asset. "They were our beta testers," Jubic said. "With 23 hours a day to work on it, they broke it a lot."
Related coverage:
IP network delivers services to max-security prisoners, without having to move them
NC city mixes access with authentication
At the user end of the system is a hardened, metal kiosk that houses a thin-client computer in each cell, with a keyboard, mouse and headset for the prisoner. It connects to a 1 gigabit/sec network and authenticates through a RadiantOne Virtual Directory Server that authorizes access for each prisoner based on a profile in the prison's management system. The network is isolated from the Internet, and services hosted outside are delivered through reverse proxy servers. Prisoners receive virtual visits in their cells from friends and family through the kiosks.
The Department of Corrections stripped functionality from applications such as a soft phone for voice-over-IP telephone service. Keyboards functions were locked down through group policies for prisoners. But prisoners found holes in the system.
Although the prison is a maximum security facility for administrative segregation — basically, solitary confinement — not all of the prisoners are violent offenders. "They have done something" within the corrections system "to earn their way here," Jubic said. They also have a lot of time on their hands. "You give somebody 23 hours a day to bang on that keyboard."
For instance, the inmates discovered that if they opened more than 200 windows in Internet Explorer at a time, it would cause a buffer overflow, Jubic said. "Once they caused the buffer overflow, group policy stopped completely," and access was restored to additional function keys on the keyboards.
At one point, the prisoners accessed the virtual visitation system and made video visits to one another.
The prisoners never got outside the system to access the Internet, and new scripts were written to harden security. It has been several months since prisoners have breached system security, Jubic said.
The Colorado Corrections Department learned a number of lessons from standing up its in-cell services program. On the security side, keep the client thin to minimize the impact of security breaches. The Colorado system uses a Citrix Provisioning Server to load a fresh operating system image every time the computer is booted up. "You don't want to do it any other way," Jubic said. "If they beat you they can change things," and refreshing the OS limits the impact.
Also, put functionality in the hardware when possible rather than the software. The initial solution for delivering television service to the kiosks was browser based and downloaded an executable to display the video. "I would not buy a product that works like that," Jubic said. "Put the executable on the PC itself."
On the administrative side, leverage existing systems so that administrators do not have to duplicate records or migrate data. Any extra work created by a new system will create resistance from the staff, Jubic said.
And finally, "take your time building it," he said. Test everything and keep applications separate. This is an area where virtualization is a virtue. "If you virtualize your apps, it makes it a lot easier."

If these self made losers get computers they will be emailing to irratate people like the one from weild co colorado who secretly kept calling a friend to have her do things for him
I had to have the jail block the phone numbers I haven't figured out how to stop the mail from coming
I think the computer will even be worse.
Make them work there time away instead of teaching them a New way to steel from those who work for what they have
I agree, Texas. For then to be able to watch movies and play in the commuter like I do, and I pay for is ridiculous. I just read an article about an Ohio prison showing violent movies and i just don't thing they should get that PRIVELEDGE at all! Some law avoiding people can't even afford TV. I think this is pure crap.
I guess none of you read the part about not being connected to the internet. Inmates are still allowed by law access to visits, law libraries, libraries in general. It makes their incarceration cost less since people don't have to staff their movements to services and libraries, and CO DOC doesn't have to pay guards to watch libraries.
Given the proper safeguards and lack of internet connectivity, I think it's a great idea, improves prisoner's demeanor, saves money and meets legal requirements. If you read the article, you'd realize we aren't teaching them how to hack, nor are they being employed to do so, it was CO DOC's learning lessons from them.
Think outside the box on occasion, it doesn't hurt.
These are maximum security prisoners, the worst of the worst. Most of them are killers or baby rapers and they get TV, video conference with the people they want to. So soon they will be stealing peoples ID's and hacking into peoples Credit cards and just more mayhem like they did before they were jailed, also these people did things in prison just to get sent here. I can see bad stuff happening soon.
Why are these losers in life getting computers? They need to have a sledge hammer to make rocks into gravel or something like that. We, the people, have to work too hard to have computers & internet, where these criminals get them for free. Complete BS.....

The last time I saw a Honda with a wall of four 15s was in 1998. Now who in their right mind would be insane enough to do something like that you say; it was yours truly.
The look on people's faces when they saw it is priceless, that's what Greg Carolus with this 2008 Honda Element deals with on a daily basis. Of course fast forward ten years later to 2008 in sunny California where Greg is lucky enough to work at US AMPS / RE Audio in their respective technical departments. This guy is one of the first to get his hands on the straight goods from US AMPS and RE AUDIO before it ever sees the light of day, I'm so jealous I tell you.
Just saying those two names together can make a grown man cry, I myself have been a fan and user of US AMPS dating as far back as 1999 with their infamous 2000x model.
Okay enough about my reminiscing and down to the business at hand. It was the beginning of March '08 and the heads at the company were looking at building a new and fresh demo which was to debut at SBN (Spring Break Nationals). Only issue is that SBN was in less than three weeks and on the other side of the country so Greg certainly had his work cut out.
With years of experience building demo vehicles Greg was itching to get started. All work involved was done in house so that meant the pooling of various resources and people which aided in the build of the vehicle since time was at a minimum. The graphics which cover the exterior of the Element were all created by in house designer Isiah Diaz. The company logos are prominently displayed on the exterior thanks to the air brushing that was handled by the in house staff, talk about a multi-talented crew. Because rolling stock just doesn't cut it in California, Greg contacted the guys at Zenetti Wheels for the hook up. A hook up it was indeed with a set of 20-inch Heirs wrapped in 255mm Nitto 555 tires which fit right at home finishing off the Element exterior wise. Now to the fun stuff inside and where Greg gets to flex his creative muscle.
First thing to go inside the vehicle was the stock head unit and in its place a Kenwood DDX 512 double DIN was installed. The DDX has it all from touch screen capability to navigation and for processing a Bass Mekanik VLS-1 digital signal processor was installed. From there the next step were the door panels for all four doors. The rear doors which are suicide from factory play host to a pair of RE FR 6x9 speakers installed in custom door pods while the front doors are home to a quartet of RE FR 6.5inch speakers each. Before you even ask why so many mid-range speakers in this vehicle take a look at what resides a few feet behind the drivers head; a wall with a quartet of RE AUDIO SE 15-inch monsters. The four woofers are housed in a custom enclosure which is a combination of MDF, fiberglass and Plexi. The subs where mounted in the wall and from there a custom trim panel was fabricated along with side panels which have the companies logos airbrushed as well. Moving to the rear of the Honda you see the workmanship of Greg and the crew at US AMPS / RE AUDIO. First off the back end of the enclosure is all Plexiglass which allows us to look into the enclosure and where we see the back end of those SE 15s. Flanking the rear on each side is a pair of US AMP MD-2D amplifiers rated at 1500W@1ohm which run a pair of the RE AUDIO 15s a piece. In between these two behemoths you'll also find one of the two MD-42 4-channel amplifiers that handle the mid-range powering needs while the second one is flushed into the floor panel.
With this many amplifiers in the vehicles you have to make sure there is always an ample supply of voltage available. Making sure there is never a loss of voltage the guys at Kinetik were called upon to help and it was decided that four Kinetik HC1400 power cells were more than enough to handle all power supply needs.
I was able to audition the finished product in person at the 2008 Spring Break Nationals and I was left speechless. Makes me want to go down the path of the dark side and throw a wall up in my Honda again. I can only imagine what to expect if he had more than three weeks available.

2014 Ford Explorer: 5 Reasons to Buy
The Ford Explorer made its name as an old-fashioned, truck-based SUV. But times have changed, and the current Explorer has, too. The 2014 Ford Explorer employs a carlike structure for a civilized drive, and it has more 3-row passenger space than those Explorers of yore. Whether you just want to avoid the minivan blues or even do some light-duty off-roading with your family, the Explorer hits the spot. Here are five reasons to explore one yourself.
Turbo Power
Brisk acceleration is a rarity in this class, but this Explorer breaks new ground. The Explorer Sport boasts a twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 that pumps out an astounding 365 horsepower. If trips to the mall have lost a bit of their luster over the years, the Explorer Sport will add some excitement in a hurry. There's also the EcoBoost 4-cylinder turbo to consider in other trims; it's not nearly as quick, of course, but it does return an impressive 28 miles per gallon in highway driving.
True 3-Row Seating
Although a lot of crossovers are said to have three real seating rows, we've learned to take these claims with a grain of salt. The truth is, third-row seats in crossovers are often best left for the kids. But that's not what you get with the full-size Explorer. There's even room for a couple adults back there if you need it. Only minivans are more generous to their third-row occupants, and let's be honest, no minivan looks as cool as this Ford.
Top-Notch Technology
The Explorer can be equipped with the voice-controlled MyFord Touch infotainment system, and we think it merits serious consideration. The crisp, colorful touchscreen is an attraction in itself, and the touch-sensitive buttons below it are another highlight. You also get high-tech configurable displays in the gauge cluster that have similarly sharp graphics. It's not for everyone, but if you love figuring out the latest tech, MyFord Touch is worth the stretch.
If you need to haul a bunch of stuff on a regular basis, the Explorer does that, too. The power fold-flat third-row seats expand the cargo bay at the touch of a button, and if you fold the second row as well, you basically have an enclosed pickup truck. By the numbers, the Explorer offers a healthy 80 cu ft. of maximum cargo space, which is more than enough for most tasks.
Perfect Crash Scores
Crash tests aren't the sort of thing that goes viral on the Internet, but they're a top concern for crossover shoppers. Happily, the Explorer is a straight-A student. Ford's biggest crossover scored perfect 5-star ratings from the government, and it also got top Good ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. That's a performance that every family can appreciate.
AutoTrader Says
The 2014 Ford Explorer is a must-drive if you're shopping for a large 3-row crossover. It ticks all the boxes for crossover fans, and that optional twin-turbo V6 is a special treat.

At Tuesday's Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting, Newton Director of Planning and Zoning Erin Chambers will update the board on the progress of getting downtown Newton onto the National Register of Historic Places list.
Chambers is presenting on behalf of the Newton Historic Preservation Commission, whose initial survey in June 2012 began the process of getting downtown Newton on the list. The proposed historical district would extend west from West Fourth Street North all the way east to portions of East Second Street North and East Third Street North. The northern boundary would begin at the alleyways above North Second Avenue and would go as far south as the alleyways south of First Avenue.
In a release, Chambers states that:
"There are a number of recognized benefits for the property owners within a historic district. First, there are economic development benefits of national recognition and increased tourism. In addition to the increased economic notoriety, individual property owners of structures that are older than 50 years and considered 'contributing' would be eligible for a number of financial resources that they couldn't otherwise access."
Chambers also notes that property owners would have no construction or remodeling limitations placed upon them. If you own the building, you may still do with it as you please. In the release, Chambers also suggests that Newton should push for a Main Street Designation as well so that the city may receive even more benefits and national notoriety.
Photo Permits
Sheriff John Halferty will be asking the board to add an additional fee for weapon permits. The current fee for a five-year permit is $50. Halferty is asking the board to consider charging an additional $10 for citizens who want a plastic permit versus the current paper one. The plastic permit would also include the permit owner's photo. The choice between paper and plastic would be optional to the purchaser. If approved, the additional funds would go toward the Jasper County General Fund.
Peer Support Center
Community Services Director of Central Point Coordinator of Jasper County Jody Eaton would like the board to consider making an addendum to an agreement the county has with Optimae Life Services. The addendum would call for a $3,000 start-up cost and $1,500 monthly fee to start a Peer Support Center for people with mental illness.
The center would be located at 1422 First Ave. E. and would be open from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. In the release, Eaton states:
"The purpose of peer support is to provide an environment that will empower people to (perform) self-management of their condition with an emphasis on positive mental health and wellness through peers supporting one another. The Peer Support Center will provide a place for individuals living with mental illness to make friends, socialize, receive personal and educational enhancement."
In addition the addendum would create the positions of Peer Coordinator, Team Leader and Program Director for the center.
Two public hearings will take place during the meeting. The first hearing will focus on the three parcels of land that county put out to bid. During the hearing the sealed bids for Amboy Ridge, Hamil, and Raider Timber will be read. Interested parties have until 4:30 p.m. Monday April 1 to submit bids to the Auditors Office. During the hearing the board has the option to accept and approve the bid for any of the aforementioned properties.
The second public hearing will be over the 2012 to 2013 fiscal year budget amendment. The amended budget will reallocate nearly $3 million from mental health funding into other expenditures. The change would increase the county ending fund balance from $6,911,277 to $9,379,989.
This maneuver would also trim the counties expenditures from $30,991,605 to $28,522,893. Jasper County's revenue stream will not be affected by the amendment.
Killduff 5 and 10 Inc. will be asking the board to approve of its request for a liquor license. Killduff 5 and 10 is a filling station located at 1570 Highway 224 S. in Kellogg.

Hoglanta needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 119 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
Authority-Cafe.com is going to be the brand for a new portal site that will provide web surfers with a place to come and hangout with authorities on all sorts of topics - work, life, family, money, entertainment...anything and everything.
It will be a place for information, shopping, and socializing (i.e. Web 2.0).
Be a part of a start-up that we plan to build into a worldwide brand and have your work front and center for the world to see. Lots of online and offline product potential with your work providing the "face" of the brand.
The world will be our audience. As we said, Authority-Cafe.com will be a place for information, shopping, and socializing on as many topics as you can imagine...think "About" meets "Wiki" meets "Amazon"...that's our plan.
The logo design should result in a vector image with 2 spot colors that can be used for electronic & print publication. Willing to consider designs that would require process printing, but prefer spot color. Nothing that would require background printing/canvas with "bleed-through" letters or images. If logo is color, would like to see what a B&W version will look like.
Not too busy because it will likely get published/printed for a wide variety of purposes in a wide variety of sizes and formats and we don't want to lose critical details when it shrinks down to be printed on a pen (as an example).
Think "Authoritative, but fun". Who was your favorite teacher in high school or college? Were they cool? What logo would represent that kind of presence? Do you have a friend that knows everything and you still like to be around them. Not the annoying "Know-it-all", but the cool, wish-I-knew-that "Trivia-wiz". Think about going to the cafe with them.
We're thinking maybe "coffee cup", "book", "cafe building", "cafe table", "cafe conversation", "cafe sign"...not all at once, but as possible elements. Be creative...duh, I know you see that all the time...
Will expect to receive Illustrator, InDesign or compatible vector file as deliverable.
So what are you waiting for...? Get to work! Thanks in advance for the wonderful alternatives that I know will be produced for this effort.

The video of a what is apparently a Denver sheriff's deputy cold-cocking and kicking an inmate in the booking room on Sunday makes you wonder about the internal culture in which such an incident could occur.
The deputy casually strides up to the inmate in full view of at least two other people, including another officer, and punches the detainee's face. The inmate may have gestured or said something to the officer, but so what? The savage blow is simply inexcusable.
And so the troubles continue at the Denver Sheriff's Department, which has taken the unfortunate prize of being the city's most problematic agency.
Deputy Thomas Ford, a 6 ½-year veteran, is under investigation for inappropriate force against the detainee in Sunday's incident. It is the latest in a string of incidents that have embarrassed the department.
It is not the first time Ford has been in trouble. He was implicated in a 2011 choking attack on another inmate that has led to a federal lawsuit.
Sheriff Gary Wilson should be praised for issuing a press release that immediately disclosed the investigation into Sunday's incident, since such openness hasn't always been the case in the past. Yet, the department refuses to release a video of the incident recorded by a security camera. Wilson said the video's release could interfere with the investigation.
The online news organization Colorado Independent posted a video it says shows Ford brutalizing the inmate.
Daelene Mix, spokeswoman for the Department of Public Safety, would neither confirm nor deny whether the video was of the incident, saying she doesn't know its origin. Why the obfuscation?
The sheriff's office should release the video. Not doing so leads to further distrust. How would a public viewing hurt the investigation, especially after a video already was leaked to a media outlet?
The only way out of the morass is to create a culture of complete openness and accountability.
If the video is accurate, Ford should be fired and even prosecuted.
If fellow officer William Lewis wrote an "inaccurate report" about the incident, as Wilson said, he too should be fired.
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock has told us he is confident Wilson will fix the department, and it is indeed encouraging the sheriff announced the investigation and took strong action shortly after finding out about the incident. But continuing to conceal the evidence from the public shows the department still has a ways to go.

I have been competitive in some tournaments but not consistently. My deck seems to thrive on prediction and lacks any type of impressive stand out cards or enough power or damage. My deck is majorly flawed and generally I have to win 3 or more rounds to win. My deck is as follows;
2*: Tula, Amiral Coco, Hawkins
3*: Taljion, Tyd
4*: Scubb, Sting
5*: Ahkab
My team thrives on an advantage of pills and prediction. I want to have more power and damage with out sacrificing my team's purpose, to have a pill advantage.
0_4DPaladin Veteran Saturday 29/12/2012, 18:02
Sting to Raeth
Ahkab to Selma
about4turtles Imperator URBAN MADNESS Saturday 29/12/2012, 19:54
Might change Sting to Raeth to add more versatility as he can be used any round and also brings a little more kick.
Tula or Amiral Coco --> Spycee (useful defensive full stop) or Puff (like him better than Tula as he has less trouble against 7/8 power and attack manipulation) but these are just possibilities.
Ahkab --> Dahlia/Selma/Lizbeth? (I feel Selma & Lizbeth have better threat and kick while Dahlia can also help keep pill advantage w/ a solid 8 power)
elusivepandaa Hero The Urban Raccoons Sunday 06/01/2013, 05:58
Okay thank you all for your comments I'm getting rid of ahkab and sting for Raeth and Selma. As for my two stars I believe they are the best for the job and with no massive reasons as to why I should get rid of any of them I plan to keep them. I'm thinking of kicking Tyd for either Ulrich or Andsom. Right now I'm leaning towards Ulrich for the extra damage and predication capability. Thoughts?
elusivepandaa Hero The Urban Raccoons Sunday 06/01/2013, 06:00
I don't want to lose damage from swapping Puff to Tula even though I gain power.

Two dead as wind-fed Colo. wildfire burns 360 homes
El Paso County, Colorado, Sheriff Terry Maketa describes how one minute an area may look like it's smoldering and "the next thing you know, you have a raging flame." VPC
BLACK FOREST, Colo. — Two people were killed as a wind-whipped wildfire burned out of control for a third day Thursday, destroying 360 homes and forcing the evacuation of more than 38,000 people, authorities said.
El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa said one person who was reported missing Wednesday was found safe, but crews on Thursday found the remains of two others.
Authorities ordered residents of 1,000 homes in the nearby city of Colorado Springs to evacuate Thursday and told residents of an additional 2,000 homes to be prepared to leave. About 38,000 people outside the city already have been evacuated.
The number of lost homes was a dramatic increase from Wednesday evening, when 92 homes were listed as destroyed.
The blaze in the Black Forest area northeast of Colorado Springs is now the most destructive in Colorado history, surpassing last year's Waldo Canyon Fire, which burned 347 home and killed two people, El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa said.
ON THE GROUND: How residents are coping
Some of the homes that were previously listed as standing were destroyed as high winds pushed the 23-square-mile wildfire back into areas that had already burned, Maketa said. Deputies still have not been able to verify the condition of 79 other homes, so the losses could rise, he said.
Black Forest resident Michael Miller, who evacuated Tuesday night, said he hopes to go home soon and check on the dogs he had to leave behind.
"Five hundred yards from my house, the flames were probably 20 feet above the trees," Miller said. "I know they're not letting any people back in there."
Dee Ozburn owns a campground in nearby Falcon that was busy with families fleeing the fire. "I am overfilled now with evacuees," she said. "We're putting people in our field and everywhere else, and right now, I am overwhelmed."
Deanna Ronco, 40, of Black Forest, learned Wednesday night that the home her family evacuated a day earlier had been destroyed.
"The sad part is it's not even over,'' she said. "My kids were at friends', but my husband and I, we got a hotel room last night because we needed time to ourselves to grieve the life we built for ourselves these last 18 years.''
A digital flyover of the Black Forest fire burn area, including MODIS satellite imagery of where the newest burns are happening. VPC
Black Forest, named for its thick growth of Ponderosa Pines, is about 20 miles from Colorado Springs, the state's second-largest city.
Anne O'Neill, who lives on the edge of the forest, said she was surprised to receive the evacuation order. She cleared out, with her pets, at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
"We have a number of dogs, so just checking into a motel wasn't an option,'' she said. "We ended up at a friend's house.''
Dave Mersman, an executive at Keller Homes in the Briargate section of Colorado Springs, said he was following fire updates in his office a few miles from the fire. He said residents are staying alert in case the fire comes closer.
"Everybody's just highly concerned, and it's just a very unknown situation," Mersman said. "There's a lot of smoke in the air, and the situation is just completely uncontained."
PHOTO GALLERY: Colorado on fire
Sheriff's officials evacuated part of neighboring Elbert County, including two camps with about 1,250 children and adults. Bits of ash and the smell of smoke drifted into Denver, about 60 miles to the north, where the haze blocked the sun.
"People are scared, for sure,'' said Sharon Robertson, 42. "Everyone's worried that it's going to be like last year. It's sad.''
Lena Timpson, 60, of Briargate, said she and her family have closed up their house to keep the smoke out. They're listening for pre-evacuation orders in case they need to start packing, she said.
"After the Waldo Canyon Fire last year, we're just very frustrated and nervous that we're going through this again a year later," Timpson said.
More than half of the state remained under high fire danger, according to a report from the National Weather Service in Denver.
"South to southwest winds will develop this afternoon, with gusts in the 20- to 30-mph range," the weather service forecast in an online bulletin. "This will create very high fire danger again, especially in areas south and southwest of Denver. The south winds will likely bring smoke from the Black Forest Fire towards Denver again this afternoon."
Thursday was shaping up to be slightly cooler than Wednesday, the weather service said, with highs around 90 degrees. Friday will be another hot, dry day in Colorado, but cooler weather is expected over the weekend, which will feature a chance of thunderstorms and temperatures in the upper 80s.
Two other fires were raging in Colorado:
• A wildfire in the south had burned 3,100 acres and destroyed 20 structures, including some in Royal Gorge Bridge and Park. The blaze, about 20% contained, prompted evacuations of about 250 residents and nearly 1,000 inmates at a medium-security prison.
• Another fire burning on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park was estimated at 600 acres late Wednesday, an increase of 200 acres from the morning press briefing. At the time of the update, no containment had been established and no structures were threatened.

Targeting tea party groups is an ironic act on the part of the Internal Revenue Service ("Taxing the tea party," May 14). Examples of bullying tactics, corruption and neglect keeps cropping up all over the map of America. In the midst of this, why pour gasoline on emotions by labeling tea party members views as, "extremist, anti-civil rights, anti-immigration?" Snarky remarks in an editorial, however tempting, are not constructive.
We need hard core unemotional and nonpartisan journalism now more than ever.
It takes two to tango in a two-party system. Both parties are responsible for running this nation into debt, writing a tax structure that no taxpayer can understand and passing legislation without even reading it. Both parties failed to figure out how to budget our hard-earned tax dollars in a fashion that is sustainable. Both parties have been using angry rhetoric that promotes bipolar instead of bipartisan politics and renders real progress null and void. It is what promoted the latest round of stupidity and bickering known now as sequestering.
When under attack, Americans unite to defend our country and to protect our freedoms. Our freedoms and livelihood are under attack, and it is in everyone's best interest to try to remember that we are all red, white and blue. White signifies purity and innocence; red hardiness and valor; and blue stands for vigilance, perseverance and justice.
Our United States of America can and shall witness a great period of sustained recovery if and only if we collectively utilize our greatest resources, which always has been and always will be our people.
Unite citizens of America. Listen to your neighbors' point of view without denigrating it. If you don't like something suggest what you believe would be better. Play nicely together. A little bit of civility will start to fix what is broken in our society and our government in order to ensure that we are as planned — undivided with liberty and justice for all.
Virginia W. Kerr, Chestertown

You have no items in your shopping basket.
Massive collection of flap hinges online
We are one of the largest suppliers of hinges in the country and one of the most extensive collections is our range of backflap hinges.
A backflap hinge is a hinge with a flat plate or strap to fasten to the face of a door or shutter, and our collection includes cranked backflap hinges, uncranked backflap hinges, loose pin hinges & window hinges. We carry an extensive stock so you can receive exactly the right hinge you need at the time you need it. It also ensures that the quality is second to none; we have been supplying high quality hinges for the trade and general public for decades.
Loose pin hinges
Loose pin hinges are particularly useful when doors need to be removed for refitting or redecorating. Line up the two hinge parts, close the door, drop the hinge pin into the slot (it will stand well above the hinge at this time), open the door slightly to align the hinges and the pin will simply drop into the hinge. Do the same with the bottom hinge - and if the pins are still slightly proud of the hinges, just push them down with the screwdriver. Using our good quality hinges properly fitted will save time and effort.
The backflap hinges are available in an extensive range of sizes and finishes; we genuinely believe we have a backflap hinge to suit any requirement – and, if not, then please give us a call – one advantage of being on the UK's biggest suppliers of hinges, door hardware and ironmongery is that we can probably source the correct item even if we don't stock it as standard.
In our standard range our cranked hinges are available in 19mm to 75mm sizes. Cranked hinges can be opened 180 degrees. Our uncranked range extends from 19mm to 100mm. Both types are offered zinc plated, sherardised and self-colour finishes. There is plenty of product information on the website, but if you need any further help on any item or which finish to choose, then contact our helpful team either via phone, LiveChat or email.

Though results from our recent study showed that single parents in the US are dating more (21%) compared to singles without children (16%), we know there are still plenty of reasons why single parents may be hesitant to jump back into the world of dating. Not wanting to your shift focus away from your kids, too many chores to do, too exhausted after working all day… we understand! It's hard balancing a dating life while raising kids, but that doesn't mean it's not worth the endeavor. In order to help kick your single booty into dating gear, we asked our relationship expert Whitney Casey to share some advice on finding success while dating as a single parent.
Avoid the "Baby-Buzz-Kill": First date banter should not include "baby talk". Make a rule with yourself: Don't talk about your kids, his kids, the neighbor's kids etc. There will be plenty of time once you decide you like him/her to talk about your kids. On a first date you need to get to know each other…and despite what a crazy busy world parents live in sometimes…your kids do NOT define you. Try to keep the baby talk off the plate until possibly the third-fourth date.
Don't be the "childless single parent": Although you shouldn't be talking incessantly about your children (see above) you certainly should never try to pull off that you don't have any either! If you aren't real about who you are when you are meeting someone…they are bound to be REALLY disappointed. If you are a single mom or dad proudly proclaim your parenthood (and then zip it!!) You shouldn't want to date anyone who isn't open to the fact that you are a parent…even if you think you can convince them you are great and then meet your kids (to see how great they are too!) It really isn't fair to be false up front.
You may have good genes but get rid of those MOM JEANS: If you have been out of the dating scene for a little while you don't have to go get an entire new wardrobe, but it is a good idea to freshen up your look a little. And this means you too guys! Some dead giveaways that you have been the Rip Van Winkle of the dating world would be these following items: jeans, shoes, hair and accessories. If you don't want to invest a lot then stick to finding an updated pair of jeans, one pair of casual shoes a good blow dry or cut and skip the accessories altogether.
"Meet the Parents": There are two thoughts that weigh equally with parents when it comes to introducing your "date" to your kids. The first thought: I'll introduce them to everyone who comes over as "this is daddy's/mommy's friend" so it isn't a big deal and the kids get used to a lot of adults coming in and out of their lives. These "friends" of course can't spend the night, etc. The second thought: don't introduce them at all until a solid relationship has been established. The only downside to this is that…if the kids really don't like the person you have chosen…it is a little late. I have known parents who have done both of these way and both seem to work.

About Public Citizen Texas
Press Releases
Join our Facebook page
Over the past two years, Public Citizen has secured new and expanded energy efficiency programs throughout Texas to reduce greenhouse gases that cause climate change and other pollutants. Our achievements include a legislative requirement that utilities double the amount of load growth that must be met with efficiency measures, up to 20% by 2009.
Based on a study mandated in the 2007 legislation session and completed in late 2008, Texas could easily increase its commitment to assure that at least 50% of the growth in demand comes from efficiency. Unfortunately, the 2009 legislature failed to increase the goal during the regular session. Recently, however, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) began discussing whether they could adopt rules to go beyond the current state mandated minimum.
In the coming year, we have three big opportunities to secure new utility-focused efficiency measures through the PUC. First, the PUC will undergo a Sunset Review process, which will include a statutory and management review. Second, PUC and ERCOT will conduct rulemaking, where the details of efficiency rules will be decided, including issues such as how to value various programs and how to deploy new programs such as Advanced Meter Implementation (AMI). Third, all across Texas, cities now have the ability to create clean energy districts.
Clean energy districts are an innovative financing tool that cities can use to offer low-interest loans to homes and businesses to cover the upfront cost of major energy efficiency upgrades. Learn more here.
Public Citizen is engaged at the city level too. Right now we are trying to pass an energy plan in Austin that would raise the energy efficiency goal for the city to 1000 megawatts by 2020. We've formed a coalition called Clean Energy for Austin, joining non-profits, businesses and individuals who want a green energy plan for the city.
For additional energy efficency links, learn more here
Most of us, when watching "the big game" do not really stop to think about the enormous amount of energy it takes to power such an event. This year, the Super Bowl, as well as the parties and events surrounding it, are going to use about 18 megawatts of energy, enough to power about 12,000 […]

In a recent Drug Facts Chat Day, Jiacalone_01 from Cashmere High School in Washington asked: What percentage of 9th graders smoke marijuana?
Not So Popular
Most teens are not smoking marijuana. We know this from asking teens themselves. How? Through the annual survey of teen drug use called Monitoring the Future, which surveys 8th, 10th, and 12th graders about their drug use and attitudes. The survey found that about 12 percent of 8th graders reported marijuana use in 2009 compared to about 27 percent of 10th graders and 22 percent of 12th graders.
The survey also showed that marijuana use has declined steadily since the mid-1990s until about 2002. Since then, it's kind of leveled off, so the people here at NIDA are trying to figure out why, and how to get things back to a downward trend.
The ABC's of THC
One reason for the leveling off may be something else the survey found—which is a change in attitudes among teens toward marijuana smoking—that they consider it to be less harmful than they did in years past.
The thing is, marijuana is more than just a mix of dried leaves from the cannabis sativa plant. It actually contains a chemical called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, along with about 400 other chemicals. Although many of these can affect your health, THC is the main psychoactive (i.e., mind-altering) ingredient. (In fact, marijuana's strength or potency is related to the amount of THC it contains, which is something people who use marijuana won't know since it's an illegal substance.)
THC alters the way your brain functions, which can be bad news for teen brains since they're still developing. For example, THC can disrupt what goes on in your hippocampus, which can lead to problems with learning and memory—since that's what this brain area gets involved in. Disrupting its normal functioning can lead to problems studying, learning new things, and recalling recent events.

P.S. Some people argue that marijuana is not addictive. Wrong! In 2007, the majority of youth (age 17 or younger) entering drug abuse treatment reported marijuana as their primary drug abused. We admit that, we still don't know everything that marijuana use does to teens. But we do know that adolescents' brains are still growing and changing—so is it really worth the risk?
I currently have a security contract at the local cannabis shop in San Jose California. I have seen a steady flow of individuals from 22-35 years of age come into the shop for their weekly does of cannabis. I do not know of the percentage of those individuals that use cannabis for medical purposes or entertainment? I will say that some of the individuals that work at this non-profit cannabis smoke their product...but never while working! As for teens smoking dope. A great majority of teens here in the bay area smoke dope on a regular basis. This is really sad but such is life.
@Chasman I found this on the NIAAA Web site http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/drinkingpregnancy_html/pregnancy.htm, which talks about effects. They have other publications, too.
Everyone is different can we all agree on that! What happens to you most likely doesn't happen to others. Same thing goes for weed I am a weed smoker and a teen
is the 25-50% real? nice scientific estimate to give it a 25% margin for error. i am sorry, but if you want to keep teens off of drugs, witch is a good idea, then simply tell them the truth, stop mixing the truth with lies or throw in two truths that dont technically support each other, yes to some its addictive, yes some people will mess up there lives on it, yes some people will go to harder drugs from it. stop telling them that because over half of teens that are in rehab are there for pot so it must be addictive and will destroy you or some bs like that, most are in rehab for it simply because it dosnt get out of your system in a short amount of time and they failled a pee pee test. chances are most of them are addicted to one of these though, caffeine>tobacco>alcohol , the worlds most used recreational drugs are the main starting drugs, pot is usually the first thats completely illegal, even though 2 of the main 3 are proven to be more dangerous, but all 3 will kill you by overdose as opposed to pot that wont kill you unless you just do something stupid that you would not have done sober. to be honest when it comes to the legalities of pot its not a safety issue at all, its a money issue, not tax wise though, they could make a killing by taxing it, but because alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceutical companies pay for it to stay illegal since they know they could really lose big bucks by letting it become legal. and it is the safest drug known to man, to me, that is what makes most of this just sad
Thanks for sharing information for Marijuana I really impressed and want some more stuffs again for this post.
i agree so much with kcdude53 . if people are going to try to tell us that weed is bad for us then they need to get thier facts straight and stop with the lies . honestly , ive done it before and know people who are and more kids i know play sports and are at the top of the class. so it does not hurt you at all as long as you don't over do it .
I agree what a lot of people are telling here. Weed is not worse that alcohol. I can even take it farther - it is far more better to use weed that alcohol. Alcohol gradually stops the brain. there is no passive drinking. you drink or you don't. It kills the organism. this poison is legal - on purpose. It's turned to a society glue. People who drink even beer or wine are far less active. Rise less questions and so on. Act more like sheep. If Alcohol was any good for human body as remedy or as emotional stabilizer - it would be illegal. Don't get me wrong this is not weed commercial - it has it's minuses too but it does not poison humans physically and mentally as much as.. anyways, let's use some common sense instead of crowd's drinking habit.

i say everything that kcdude54 was gold and if you want to know the real deal read what he said.
I dont know about the marijuana you have, but my marijuana is TESTED and I know how much THC, CBD, CBN, and other chemicals are in my "harmful drug". Do some real research on the issue instead of screaming government propaganda...then again, this is nothing more than propaganda....stay afraid America...only the government can help you.
@THE420TRUTH We are a public health agency focused on supporting the science behind drugs of abuse and their consequences. Our messages about marijuana are aimed primarily at teens, to give them a better shot at fulfilling their potential in life. No one is screaming here but you.
The only reason why the number of teens in drug abuse treatment for marijuana is higher than any other drug is because marijuana stays in your system longer, then, if teens get caught, they are put in front of a judge and face EITHER time in juvenile detention or in treatment. It's an obvious decision to go to treatment and not face juvy time.
is it really addidcting
@TheCoolKid Yes
i agree
The reason Marijuana is the most abused drug is because it does the least amount of damage to the body and its effects are milder than that of other abused drugs
@Truth It could also be that marijuana is easier to find than other drugs. Tobacco and alcohol the most commonly abused drugs—that isn't because they aren't harmful, but they are readily available.
also if the NIDA admits that cannabis has medical value why are they not doing anything about the DEA's scheduling of Cannabis as a Drug with no medical benefits?
@Truth NIDA's role is to support research—which we are doing, including research on the potential value of cannabinoids for treating pain, for example. We are not responsible for drug scheduling.
I really enjoyed the design and write-ups of your blog.
[commercial link removed, per guidelines]
I agree on the subject: most teenagers are not smoking marijuana, but the real point is that most of them tried marijuana on the first stage of their addiction, once they have tried it, them they move into harder drugs, so it is important help them in that first stage, where it is fairly easy to quit from marijuana compared to other stages in their life, when they have become addicted to harder substances. That's why we are fighting addictions in those first stages before they become addicted to crack, amphetamines, morphine, etc. Thats why I believe our labor is very important. Thanks!
[link removed, per guidelines]
@Jackl More efficient laws would help with that.
I heard from a friend that there were tests done on this issue and under the age of 22 years old there were certain negatives.
Cannabis is not really harmful in itself. It has minor sideeffects like short term memory loss and dry mouth.
Letting adults be stopped in their rights as humans to use this plant as a healing herb with positive mood effects is just wrong in itself. If you ask me this debate should be over.

stop trying to scare people into thinking marijuana is bad cause it isn't i smoke it and i have good grades in school i can remember things fine and the only side effects Ive ever had are happy and hungry so really do you think your advancing the development of the human species in any way by whining about how "marijuana is bad"... no so why don't you try promoting world peace or something.
But all in all i personally don't care if you like marijuana or not i just think its annoying that nowadays people don't know how to mind their own (pardon my french) [expletive deleted, per guidelines] business and stop trying to change other people and just work on bettering themselves
@kcdude53 nice comments keep spreading the real truth man
yah!lol i say that if you smoke pot your going to damage yourself so dont because i mean the people that do i do and dont feel sorry for! you know?
if you somke you can die and damge your say
i haye people who somke pot and who do other stuff!!!!
To say that marijuana has over 400 hundred chemicals is bs. Even if there is it doesn't mean they're necessarily bad for you, and if they are how come these bs sites dont name them? Because its a guess, a scare tactic it outrages me to see these lies like the ones on this site get this much attention and the real truth not getting any. In my opinion every human on this earth should be required to see the movie The Union: The Business Behind Getting High on netflix. all of the people on that documentary are scientists, authorities of law, and major universities such as Harvard, ucla, and Yale all spreading the truth and evidence of years of study and experimenting of the marijuana plant. And all these anti-drug sites stop saying marijuana is a bunch of dried leaves when in fact it is the flower bud. That shows how much you obviously know about this herb. And yes I am a very light user and I can say I've had no trouble quitting at all and the only short term memory is when your high and all of these "side effects" are the effects of the high so stop spreading untrue facts like saying not doing marijuana is what all the cool kids are doing when obviously you had a hard time in high school. You wanted to join the cool crowd but you. Never could. I'm only speaking my mind and hope every person on this site can read this and continue to spread the truth and finally decriminalize this herb and illegalise tobacco and alcohol. THANK YOU ALL FOR READING THIS AND GOOD DAY TO YOU!!!!
True, a large number of chemical components in something does not necessarily mean it is bad for you. What it does mean is that there can be many variations and many unknowns. One reason you don't frequently see a list of the compounds is because marijuana is so complex that researchers are still identifying new compounds in marijuana plants. Some of these discoveries are due to variations in the plants – others are because the chemicals have never before been identified. Examples of the types of compounds found in marijuana to date include: terpenes (over 100 different types), cannabinoids (over 60 different types), hydrocarbons (about 50 types), steroids, fatty acids, simple acids, amino acids, flavonoids, proteins, sugars, nitrogenous compounds, simple ketones, esters and lactones, phenols, and the list goes on and will prob'ly keep growing.
Yes marijuana is really addicting and you would even fall for it easily if you are smoking cigarette. For me I do not smoke because I just hate it but I know my friends who do and sad the same thing. Anyways really great post, I am going to share it to my friends on which smoke pot.
[commercial link removed, per guidelines]
its a very poweerful drug in the us
i smoke pot every weekend. i smoke nearly $200 worth. but i dont smoke on the week days and i have never had a problem with addiction. weed is not bad for people. it actually saves peoples lives so people need to stop saying that it is bad for you. all the people are doing that say this stuff are making up lies to scare people so the gov't can stay on top. weed is the best plant on this planet
So, we're not sure what the Government is trying to "stay on top of," but NIDA's mission has to do with improving public health, not setting policy. The current state of the science provides room for healthy debate on the issue as marijuana has been shown to have both harmful and beneficial effects – depending on numerous factors. Unfortunately, this debate has, at times, become noisy and unproductive.
It is true that we live in a world where all that are damaging to children, teens and young ... We will pay the price arises, very expensive
[commercial link removed, per guidelines]
Nowadays, young people get stuck in so many trap. They must be spiritual to cope with these issue to have a healthy life.
[commercial link removed, per guidelines]
most teens will not admit any use of drugs, especially to the school or government agencies. I am not sure how well you can draw a conclusion out of the research. Just my opinion. [commercial name removed, per guidelines]
Marajuana has over 400 chemicals in it, but do you know that else has has over 400 chemicals every single plant on planet earth
I'm impressed, I have to say. Actually rarely do I encounter a weblog that's each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you've hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the problem is one thing that not enough persons are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my seek for one thing referring to this. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
In fact, the potency of marijuana does matter. Marijuana with a lot of THC can have strong, negative effects on the developing teen brain.
