BUY TEGRITAL OVER THE COUNTER, As I mentioned in my girls preseason basketball blog, I'm not a big fan of preseason rankings.
Yet, as a voter in the Associated Press boys basketball poll in Iowa every week, TEGRITAL blogs, I get a say in the defacto first poll, TEGRITAL schedule, which comes out Monday. By far, it is the worst one to select, no prescription TEGRITAL online. Oh, TEGRITAL coupon, you know who is going to be good (Iowa City West is a no-brainer, several of the MAC schools), but for others, TEGRITAL without a prescription, it's not so clear-cut. Where to buy TEGRITAL, I do know I will not be voting Danville No. 1 in Class 1A, BUY TEGRITAL OVER THE COUNTER. I didn't last year at the start (I believe I was the lone voter for Storm Lake St. Marys at No, TEGRITAL from canada. 1), Where can i order TEGRITAL without prescription, but did as the season unfolded.
So this year, I'm not going to give you any preseason rankings, where can i cheapest TEGRITAL online, but I will give you a handful of teams who I feel will be both up and down, Buy cheap TEGRITAL no rx, based on early reports, preseason information sheets, etc, TEGRITAL no prescription. BUY TEGRITAL OVER THE COUNTER, Here we go. As you can see, TEGRITAL steet value, it's not all great:
• Van Buren. I really see the Warriors taking a big step this season, and so do other coaches. This is probably the team in the SEISC South Division with the most returning experience, TEGRITAL price, coupon. They have a quality big man in Thomas Fitzsimmons, Purchase TEGRITAL online no prescription, and excellent guards who can shoot. They'll challenge for the top of the division. There are a lot of state runner-up baseball players from last summer on the team, BUY TEGRITAL OVER THE COUNTER. That can't hurt, order TEGRITAL online overnight delivery no prescription.
• New London. Like Van Buren, Comprar en línea TEGRITAL, comprar TEGRITAL baratos, the Tigers have experience. It's still a fairly young group that may be one year away from making a serious run. Still, TEGRITAL from mexico, I expect to see improvement. BUY TEGRITAL OVER THE COUNTER, They're missing one dominant scorer. TEGRITAL reviews, I see them much like the New London girls team; they both need some scoring balance.
• Fort Madison. Last year, the Bloodhounds became the first Southeast Conference team in more than 40 games to hand Mount Pleasant a conference loss, TEGRITAL dangers. The team finished a respectable 13-8, Online TEGRITAL without a prescription, but they have one of the better guards in 3A in Miles Wentzien. The Bloodhounds lost a lot, but the seeds are in place for success, TEGRITAL no rx. I think this is the year they win the conference title, BUY TEGRITAL OVER THE COUNTER.
• Danville. And this is saying how good Danville can be: The Bears could lose almost 4, Real brand TEGRITAL online, 000 career points between two players and still be good enough to get to the state tournament. However, this team should not be confused with the three in a row that went 27-1, rx free TEGRITAL. They're still the class of the South Division, Kjøpe TEGRITAL på nett, köpa TEGRITAL online, but I would expect a few more tests along the way. They've won more than 50 consecutive divisional games. BUY TEGRITAL OVER THE COUNTER, If that undefeated streak is to continue another year, there will be some challengers. Connor Hoelzen, fast shipping TEGRITAL, Mason Speer and Kolton Jackson are all solid players. TEGRITAL images, What is behind them is the $64,000 question.
• Mount Pleasant. The expectations for the Panthers are pretty low this season, canada, mexico, india, and they should be. TEGRITAL cost, All the starters from last year's state tournament team are gone. They showed they weren't invincible last season, but for the first time in many years, this may be a .500 team, BUY TEGRITAL OVER THE COUNTER. Coach Paul Rundquist is really good at what he does, because you don't qualify for state four years in a row by accident, buy TEGRITAL from mexico, but this will be one of the most inexperienced teams he's coached in his tenure. Purchase TEGRITAL for sale, • Notre Dame. Tough to lose versatile wing players who had length and could shoot 3-pointers or drive to the basket, but the Nikes lost two of them, plus a 6-foot-6 post player. The Nikes got to the 2A substate game last season, but this team is a work in progress. There is some explosiveness at the guard position with Xavior Williams, and Jeff Giannettino will be a matchup nightmare because of his 6-5 body. BUY TEGRITAL OVER THE COUNTER, Still, Notre Dame is going to need several guys to step up and score.
• Burlington. The Grayhounds lost one of the MAC's best post players in 6-8 Justin Randall, and now will be one of the smallest teams in a loaded league. This will be a perimeter-oriented team because of a lack of height, so 3-pointers are going to have to fall to stay in games. The tallest projected starter is 6-3, although a couple 6-4 or 6-5 kids still need to develop. There will be no room for error for BHS, which finished 8-14 last season. The MAC may finally be on par with the MVC as the toughest league 4A.

Maybe I'm trying to justify it to myself ( ), but if a tool that CAN be used aversively ISN'T being used aversively, is it aversive or just another piece of equipment on the dog? Erin (not singling you out, but you said it!) said that because it has to be used originally with positive punishment (can't argue with that - I used it as they're made to be used) that it will forever be associated with positive punishment. I can go with that. However, I've seen people yanking dogs around on plain buckle collars, too - major leash corrections, hanging, etc. Does that mean buckle collars will forever be aversive as well?
Not being argumentative, just encouraging discussion.

DemoDick wrote:Prong collars are not always an aversive when they are popped. There is a prong technique that *many* dogs respond to that does not diminish a behavior, rather it loads the dog into drive.
What it really comes down to is how the human handling the dog feels about the training tool.

Helping men and women learn skills that will ease their transition into the community is the goal of those working at Nuestra Casa.
That's according to Sister Mary Rita Rohde, who teaches English as a Second Language classes, and Nuestra Casa Executive Director Dr. Esperanza Lemos.
The pair spoke to Sunnyside Daybreak Rotary Club members this morning (Wednesday) about the various classes offered by the local non-profit organization.
Rohde said there are five levels of English as a Second Language classes offered by the organization. The classes help students learn English, but the students also learn about civics and parenting as a result of the classes.
She told the story of one student who was proud about her newly acquired skills. That student when ordering burritos went to a local eatery and ordered "two little donkeys," the English translation for the popular Mexican dish.
Rohde said it is important for immigrants living in the Yakima Valley to learn English. Often the students taking advantage of Nuestra Casa's classes have the equivalent of a third grade education and their own children surpass that education level.
As a result, there is an emphasis on helping parents learn that they determine the rules of the household. Having the skills to do so and the English comprehension empowers parents.
As the students at Nuestra Casa become more self-sufficient, they learn there are other opportunities and doors opened to them.
Rohde said the organization also offers driver's education classes. This week she was pleased to have a request for a ride to class from one student.
"It's the first time in 10 years that I know of a student who wasn't driving herself to class," she said.
Rohde recalled seeing all the cars in the parking lot during the first driver's education class, realizing that the students in the class had driven themselves there.
She said attendance in all the programs offered by Nuestra Casa increases during the winter months. During the remainder of the year, many of those taking advantage of the programs are working in agriculture.
Adjusting programs to meet the needs of those served by the organization is important, said Rohde. She said students wishing to obtain a GED were struggling with math. As a result, Nuestra Casa with the assistance of an engineer and MIT graduate last year was able to offer math classes.
"As we see the need, we try to respond to it," said Rohde.
There are also nutrition classes and diabetes education offered by the organization, helping the Hispanic community learn to better take care of its health.
Lemos recently became the executive director at Nuestra Casa.
Addressing the need to offer programs for community members during the agricultural season, Nuestra Casa offered a few night classes this year.
Lemos said attendance was not very high, but she said the organization is evaluating the possibility of continuing to offer night classes.
In addition to offering the various classes at Nuestra Casa, referral services are also available.
Lemos said, "I am proud of the collaboration with other organizations."
She said Nuestra Casa doesn't offer all the services needed, but has a good relationship with other organizations that serve the population.
Rohde said, "We are helping adult immigrants become more self-sufficient."

The Rising HIV Rates Among Young Women and Girls of Color: What's Going On? Part Two
February 10, 2011
Even though African-American women and Latinas ages 13-24 account for only 32 percent of the U.S. female youth population, they account for roughly 83 percent of new HIV infections among young females in the U.S. In addition, black women account for 62 percent and Latinas for 19 percent of cumulative AIDS cases among women 13 to 24. Numerous studies have found that the major mode of transmission in this population is heterosexual contact.
What exactly is contributing to these numbers?
In this exclusive, two-part roundtable discussion, we attempt to explore the pressing issues that are increasing HIV risk among young girls and women of color. We look at what is working, what is going terribly wrong and what is being overlooked in terms of HIV/AIDS prevention, education, testing and outreach.
Participating in this discussion are Tracie Gardner, Founder and Coordinator of the Women's Initiative to Stop HIV/AIDS NY (WISH) at the Legal Action Center; Jennifer Irwin, Deputy Executive Director at Health and Education Alternatives for Teens (HEAT), and Co-Founder of the Young Women of Color HIV/AIDS Coalition (YWCHAC); and Claire Simon, Co-Director and Co-Founder of the Young Women of Color HIV/AIDS Coalition.
This is part two of the discussion; you can read part one here.
Kellee Terrell: We left off talking about the cultural influences and pressures that many young women of color face as they strive to obtain and keep a man in their life. Too many times a woman's worth appears to be measured in her ability to have a boyfriend or husband. Although by no means do I want to downplay how poverty, socioeconomic disadvantage and social networks play a factor in her HIV risk as well.
All four of us live in New York City and are quite familiar with the surveillance map of AIDS diagnoses and HIV infections within all five boroughs. When we look at which neighborhoods are the most saturated with HIV, we also can see that those are the areas that are the most impoverished: South Bronx, parts of Brooklyn, Harlem, the Lower East Side and parts of Staten Island. The same can be said on a national level: New Orleans/Baton Rouge, Miami, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Jacksonville, et cetera.
But unfortunately, what happens is that when these numbers get released, just like when the CDC [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] released its study about how 50 percent of black teens had an STD [sexually transmitted disease], the media doesn't do the best job explaining the circumstances behind why these numbers are this way. Then people walk away thinking, "Damn, black and Latino people are really out there, really promiscuous." And given how this stereotype has unfairly followed us for centuries, this is particularly bothersome and aggravating.
What doesn't get talked about enough is how women of color report fewer risk factors than their white counterparts, yet bear the brunt of the disease. So a lot is at play here.
Tracie Gardner, Founder and Coordinator of the Women's Initiative to Stop HIV/AIDS NY at the Legal Action Center
Tracie, how much do social networks -- and I don't mean Facebook or Twitter [laughs], but clusters of areas that are highly saturated with HIV, usually poor and have higher rates of incarceration, IV [intravenous] drug use and sex work in which people are finding mates -- influence the rates of HIV?
Tracie Gardner: Well, first, poverty is key. Just look at the biggest blockbuster revelation that came out of the International AIDS Conference in Vienna [says sarcastically]. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released findings from a study they conducted that found that, dunh-dunh-dunh: HIV is highly correlated with poverty.
But here's the subtext: They even factored in gender and race. So, poverty -- in parts of the country where there's endemic poverty, poor infrastructure, poor state financing for infrastructure, like STD clinics and health care facilities that you can get to without traveling for two days. That, plus other economies, supporting people's ways of life, primarily around illegal drugs like crystal meth, etc.
The point is that the poverty, and what people do when they have fewer choices, and that they're landlocked by their poverty, is also what creates such a rich, fertile ground for that kind of networking, that sexual networking that fosters HIV and STD infections. You know what I mean?

text: A new film starring Saturday Night Live's Jason Sudeikis has begun shooting in Massachusetts, using settings in the north-central region of the state to substitute for a small town in rural Maine, according to the Massachusetts Film Office. Tumbledown, starring Sudeikis, Rebecca Hall, Joe Manganiello, Griffin Dunne and Blythe Danner, will be the directorial debut of Sean Mewshaw with executive producer Desi Van Til. The film is the story of a young widow played by Hall whose life is changed when a writer from New York, played by Sudeikis, shows up in her Maine town researching the life of her deceased husband, an acclaimed folk singer. "We are so happy to have this film come to fruition in North Central Massachusetts where we have found the same authentic and kind-hearted spirit as the small Maine town that we aim to replicate in the film," Van Til said in a statement. "We have been so warmly welcomed by the community here and we are honored to be the first production in the incredible facility of the New England Studios in Devens."

Opportunity Commission
Former Commissioner Advocated for ADA, Protections Against Genetic Bias
WASHINGTON - I was deeply saddened on Tuesday to learn of the passing of my law school classmate and former EEOC Commissioner Paul Steven Miller. Commissioner Miller was first nominated by President Clinton in May 1994 and served the EEOC -- and ultimately, the nation -- with great distinction until 2004.
Among many achievements during his tenure, Commissioner Miller helped to lead the agency's efforts to enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), visited every state in the Union to meet with the EEOC's stakeholders, and created the alternative dispute resolution program for settling discrimination claims out of court. He also represented the EEOC internationally, and long before there was a Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act (GINA), Paul Miller was a proponent of protections against discrimination on the basis of family medical history or genetic information. In July, 2010, Miller was honored for his contributions to the EEOC and work on behalf of people with disabilities during the EEOC's 20th Anniversary Celebration of the ADA.
After leaving the EEOC, Commissioner Miller joined the faculty of the University Of Washington School Of Law. He returned to Washington, D.C. to assist with President Obama's transition and work in the White House in 2009.
Commissioner Miller is survived by his wife, Jennifer Mechem, their daughters Naomi and Delia Mechem-Miller, two sisters, and a host of friends and colleagues, including those of us at the EEOC. He will be greatly missed.

Loosening The Privacy Reins Isn't So Bad, But Where's The Payoff?
from the something-for-nothing dept
The Register recently published an interesting piece looking at the other, less-discussed side of the online privacy debate: what are users getting in return? Writer Matt Asay doesn't have a huge problem with ad networks tracking his behavior—or at least he wouldn't, if he was seeing more of the useful, ultra-targeted ads he is supposed to get in return:
What grates on me is that for all the spying these companies do on my online behavior, they can't seem to serve me an ad for something I'd actually want to buy. Worse, they're terrible at delivering anything close to approximating a deal on the things I'd like to buy, even when I tell Google exactly what I want.
What gives?
For example, I ski a lot. And I spend a reasonable amount of time on Backcountry.com, Rossignol.com and other ski-related sites. Even the most rudimentary tracking technology should know that I'm interested in Rossignol skis (perhaps it would even know I bought two pairs of Rossignol skis this past year), yet when I type in "skis" into Google or even "Rossignol" into Google, the ads served up are for ... something completely different. Even the store that sold me my last pair of Rossignol skis – EVO – keeps trying to show me every kind of ski except Rossignol skis.
... Come on, people: if you're going to track my online behavior, at least use it to get me to buy something I want!
Asay feels that, based on his purchasing habits, advertisers should be able to figure out that he's loyal to Rossignol skis—but he could be encouraged to spend more money on them if he was targeted with ads for sale prices and other promotions. Instead, he's shown full-price retail listings for brands he's not interested in, pointing him to retailers he already knows about.
Now, in some ways this example is a little unfair, since it's only natural that companies are going to want to advertise to their competitors' customers, and not letting them do so would remove one of their biggest incentives for spending money on ads. But Asay still hits an important point: most targeted ads are not that effective. Online advertising as a whole already faces a public perception crisis in the form of privacy concerns, and they are never going to solve it if they don't put more emphasis on giving customers something in return for their privacy sacrifices.

I prefer the look and feel of the Comfort Grip wheel, and if it doesn't work, I can take the stuff back and no harm, no foul. This is one time I'm lucky I know someone who will allow me to experiment and it won't cost me anything. And yes--the walnut, rosewood and Comfort Grip wheels require a special hub and trim. They were their own animal.
Randy--that's the wheel I'm going to use. There was no Comfort Grip '68 wheel. In fact, I'm picking the stuff up tomorrow! There is no more than an inch difference in depth to the driver if you use the '68 walnut wheel hub, which is not as shallow as the '69 hub. How it will seem once installed in the car remains to be seen....chuckle. I simply like the black wheel better than the walnut '68 wheel. I'm covered up with a hundred other things, but I'll let ya know as soon as I put it on. I'm crossing my fingers that it'll work.
I've got the same problem with my 69 but I'm 6'2. Just too long in the legs. I've seen extended seat tracks on ebay that lets your seat go back another couple of inches but I've not bought them. If I drove the car more requently, I might invest in them. You might go to ebay and search for seat extenders. Jim

The split rail fence, wheat field, rooting pigs and log house represent a four-year-old farm, established when Iowa became a state in 1846. The farm site is in transition between subsistence agriculture (producing enough for the family to survive) and becoming a profit-making farm. Most farms in 1850 averaged 160 acres in size, with farmers cultivating anywhere from 25 to 40 acres. Corn, wheat and potatoes were the three major crops in 1850. Most farmers used their corn crop to feed the pigs that were then sold for profit. Wheat and hogs were cash crops for farmers, and potatoes were a staple with nearly every meal and lasted throughout the winter.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

How do i write Jim Carrey?
address to Jim Carrey?
we've had this message many times before....
there isn't much point in writing to Jim, unless you can hand him the letter in person, becuase there is not much chance that he will read it! all you get is a 'spank you very much' signed photo, which has been the same for so many years! your letter is also returned, so it hasn't been read by the man himself!
my advice: don't write him a letter, because it'll only disappoint you if you don't get a reply, or if your letter is returned!
luv 'n' smiles,

Thank you for answering my question. I know it would be a longshot to get a reply but I have this great movie idea that is perfect for him and he is the guy that could make it work how would I ever get the idea to him? It's not about the money, just a cool story.

OCC Releases OCC/Fed Joint Study on 2006 CRE Concentration Guidance
WASHINGTON — Banks with high concentrations of construction and total commercial real estate (CRE) lending that exceeded supervisory criteria failed at higher rates than banks with lower concentrations, according to a white paper published today by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Reserve Board.
The white paper presents findings from the regulators' study of bank performance in the context of the 2006 interagency guidance, "Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices." In summary, this guidance established supervisory criteria for banks that exceeded 100 percent of capital in construction lending and 300 percent of capital in total CRE lending. The study covered national- and state-chartered commercial banks but did not include savings associations. Key findings of the study include:

Nem Nuong Khanh Hoa, Alhambra
As annoying as the commercials are, I find them hilarious. Imagine. You get married to the woman of your dreams and you have a baby girl. So angelic, so beautiful. She kisses you good night every night and tells you that your her hero. Next thing you know, she's 'developing' in jr. high and no longer hugs you anymore because she has a crush at school. Her nights are spent inside her room on the phone, and no longer in the living room. Then she starts going to dances and before you know it, she's on her way to college. Your sweet little girl is going to become a woman finally. But god forbid that one night, at around 2:43 am, you see your daughter taking a beer bong out of a halved sparkletts water jug on Channel 13 for what seems like a 'documentary' on college life. An office-size jug. God forbid. When we have children one day, we all just have to let go and pray that she stays on the right path.
And its the same way I perceive the Central Vietnamese noodle soup called 'bun bo hue', literally meaning 'noodles + beef + from the Hue region. We all know pho, the celebrated beef noodle soup from Vietnam. Pure in broth, flavor and texture... with simple additions that make this one bowl of heaven. But after one wild weekend in Hue, pho is no longer pho. She's lost a lot of beef and has grown other stuff, like braised beef, pork blood cubes, pork knuckles and pork sausage. Her hair is no longer a light yellow/brown, it's red. And boy has her attitude changed, no longer quiet and subtle with gestures, she's loud and not afraid to bite. Think of it as noodle soup gone wild.
In actuality, this soup has no resemblance to pho. The soup is completely different in taste because the predominant ingredient is lemongrass in a slightly spicy beef broth. Toppings usually consist of pork knuckles and pork blood cubes. For garnishing, bean sprouts, red cabbage, mint and lime are used. I searched the Chowhound boards and learned about a place in Alhambra called Nem Nuong Khanh Hoa, not to be confused with Nem Nuong Ninh Hoa in Rosemead.
Bun Bo Hue (Lemongrass-Flavored Beef Bone Soup with Noodles)
This comes with one large pork knuckle, pork blood cubes, braised beef shank slices and pork meatloaf (gia lua). If you don't want any of the above, simply let them know. The shank and meatloaf are good. You can buy your own meatloaf for only $2! The noodles are made with rice and as thick as spaghetti noodles (unlike the thin pho rice noodles) but go very well with the soup. The soup is so good that I'll actually doggy-baggy it and eat it the next day. Eat this with the fixings, the red cabbage, bean sprouts, mint and lime really take this dish to another level. If you want to spice this up, I suggest you use the sriracha chili garlic sauce (has seeds in it) versus the traditional non-seed chili sauce used for pho. No hoisin allowed in here!!! $5.25
Centerfold of the Pork Knuckle
Usually comes with the skin on, but once you get past that, the meat is very tender.
Pork Blood Cubes
Not everyone will like this, but I think it's delicious. I think of it as chocolate and gobble it up.
Bun Bo Hue Fixings
Red cabbage, bean sprouts, lime, jalapeno, mint and this one herb I can never identify. Wandering Chopsticks, Master of Vietnamese food, please identify this for me!
Nem Nuong Rolls (3 for $3.75)
You can choose to order these pre-rolled or you can try and have some fun and get your hands dirty. These contain lettuce, a crispy shrimp roll, charbroiled pork and a chive. The sauce used is similar to nuoc cham, but is thicker because it has beaten egg and sometimes honey in it. The rolls are good, but not quite as good as Brodard in Little Saigon, Westminster. If you decide to order the nem nuong party pack, you'll receive a whole plate of various meats including the charbroiled pork, sour pork patties (good!) and crispy shrimp rolls. A bowl of hot water is provided for you to soak rice paper and roll your own joint up.
Centerfold of Nem Nuong Charboiled Pork Rolls
Cha gio egg rolls go well with pho, and these go well with Bun Bo Hue, in my opinion.
Super Perverted Food Porn Close-Up
Notice the crispy egg rolls contain small pieces of shrimp. This is true dedication. It's like rolling a taquito within another taquito without making it big like a burrito.
Wandering Chopsticks was helpful enough to explain the sauce to me. Check out her version of nem nuong on skewers.

After a season of unwanted Observer battles in a future setting, the Fringe series finale managed to deliver a truly satisfying conclusion to those who followed the series from the beginning. As it turns out, the promise of an "amazing" ending from series star John Noble may not be too far off. That is, if you're willing to overlook a few things.
With Michael, the child Observer, in the hands of Windmark and the Observers, the true powers that the boy possesses are revealed, as Windmark is harmed while simply trying to read the mind of the anomaly. In order to save Michael from the Observers, the Fringe team decides that their only option is for Olivia to teleport to the alternate Earth. After four injections of Cortexiphan, Olivia reunites with her former (now older) self and retrieves Michael. Now with all the pieces in hand, September begins to put together the wormhole device, while Walter inadvertently reveals to Peter what will unfortunately happen if the plan is successful. As the Observers attempt to retrieve the boy, Broyles' allegiance to the Fringe team is revealed, and September must ask a favor of an old friend.
Although the Fringe series finale was largely driven by the season 5 Observer storyline, which was essentially rooted in a standalone episode from last season, the amount of depth and range the two-hour finale presented for its characters, and their story, was refreshing and unexpected – at least to anyone who stood by the entirety of season 5. Not only does the finale bring back many familiar elements from past seasons, but it does so in a way which makes you wonder why, if the capabilities of exceptional quality were always there, they weren't more apparent – or made use of - before the final hours of the series.
Notwithstanding a few select episodes, Fringe season 5 was a mixed bag of Observer-driven stories, many of which were used more as fetch quest time fillers than as any true progression of the overall plot. And even though the series finale of Fringe was essentially dedicated to the current seasonal story-arc, the resulting sentimentality speaks as much to the entirety of the series as it does a proverbial book-end to the Observer storyline that fans were continuously wary of.
After jumps in to and out of the alternate world, Fringe somehow recaptured – if just for its final episodes – the magic that initially drew fans to the series so many years ago. A magic that was, as some would say, somewhat misplaced when the series jumped 13 years into the future for its final chapter. As the finale entered its second hour, the pieces needed to defeat the Observers were quickly acquired, leaving ample time to give fans what they truly wanted to see from Fringe: the goodbyes.
Despite this season of Fringe being driven by the Observer invasion, enough time was committed to allow each of the characters their own moment to shine, whether it be heroically or tragically, before Water finally atoned for all the stolen moments he shared with Peter and reset time, which reset Peter, Olivia and Etta back in the park where the invasion began. This time the Observers never came.
Although Walter never did forgive himself for kidnapping his son from the alternate world, his references to the "stolen moments" he had with Peter revealed that, even though Walter probably shouldn't have crossed over all those years ago, he cherished every one of them, and he was willing to sacrifice himself in order to make things right for the world - and for Peter. The only question is whether or not by this point, the highly-suspenseful, action-packed finale engaged the viewer to such a level where earlier seasonal contrivances simply washed away - to allow Fringe, the little series that could, to give the impassioned conclusion they're able to tell. Even if it may not be the one they wanted to from the beginning.
As with any television series, it's more about the journey than it is the end result. Most shows never get the chance to say goodbye. Thanks to its fans, Fringe had two. So while a jump to the future to battle elite humans may not have been the most ideal adventure, the series still managed to, at times, provide audiences with an exceptional and emotional tale of scientific wonderment. As always, this is where Fringe is at its strongest. Not with Observer battles or high-tech weapons, but with one man's love and curiosity about the strange and unknown. So it's befitting that, once again, he used his abilities to save his son, the boy who should not have lived.
Fringe aired on Fox from September 9, 2008 – January 18, 2013.

The opposition is not getting over that shock, and only some such as Julio Borges on Sunday night, show any combativeness. In fact, what we should have is a general outrage that would finally offer a strong common front to vote or not to vote in a month. Any option is valid as long as we all go for it. But this is not going to happen.
Three op ed pieces published today do show us how the Venezuelan few thinkers (there are some, you know, and all against Chavez who only attract sycophants unable of any original thought but full of original tricks, funny I write that on Halloween!). In these pieces we can see how the thought process is evolving, and how a few truths are written without any contemplation. Note, all published in subscription sites thus I have posted the articles in my Documents on Venezuela section (sorry, too much to translate I only will do some essential parts)
Armando Duran curses AD
His OpEd Piece is justly titled "Ramos Allup and the trumped up cards". Indeed, Ramos Allup, the leader of AD tried to have all of us believe that he had a genuine chance to have the constitutional court rule against the Morochas. When we all knew that any ruling would be whichever ruling Chavez thought would favor him.
Yet Armando Duran points out that in spite of the foretold death Ramos coherent legislative mind and his reasonable oratorical skills were enough to unhinge the assembled mediocrities (all branches of the judicial and electoral system of Venezuela!) and force them to reveal their lackadaisical status when they all scrambled to reapet, badly, the official line when before Ramos speech they still pretended to be in a formal and real judicial hearing.
However the verdict is harsh:
How is it possible that decades of political activities ended up in an act of such naiveté (of Ramos going to court)?This is the strong point of Armando Duran: Ramos Allup did help Chavez. How? By attending this trumped trial he not only offered a veneer of respectability at what is a violation of all of our political tradition bent on avoiding the return of dictators, but he basically shut up the opposition of any fraud claim it might have for December. Just as accepting all the electoral violations pre-August 2004 basically forced international observers to accept the referendum result.
The sketch only served for the regime to legalize in front of the international community the death of proportional representation of minorities.
With this opposition direction, truly Chavez is in no risk. He might feel threatened by a possible social explosion, or an hypothetic fidgeting of some sectors of the armed forces, but not by political parties ready for anything for not losing a token electoral representation. Of this Chavez has been certain for years. A certainty that allows him to act in any moment with total impunity. And which allows him to say to the world that there is democracy in Venezuela and that if he wins all elections it is his opponents fault, unable to gain the trust of the voters.[and commenting on the divorce between opposition voters and opposition parties]
(Since August 16 2004) paralysis and abandonment, the break up has been irreversible. Maybe if what happened in court last Thursday had generated a strong reaction from the opposition, such as withdrawing their candidates, if at least they would have declared that they would consider that option, there would have been the possibility to fix up things. Instead having accepted the result as Saint Francis simple throws to the ground the possibility of constituting a formidable opposition front. That was the only real reason to go to court over the morochas, to use the abuse of power of the High Court Not doing so condemns anti chavismo to a dark ostracism. That is why Rangel praised Ramos Allup and AD: to accept participation in a trumped electoral game is to even give up the right to complain. For the greater glory of Chavez, courtesy of Ramos Allup and the opposition political parties.Quite clear, no?
Ibsen Martinez criticizes the abstention movement (and the opposition "elites")
Ibsen Martinez is one of my favourite OpEd writers but too long and windy to translate. In fact, his articles are full of intellectual and cultural references, a little bit like my posts but at least a league ahead of my modest efforts. Today he has a long winding article on critical journalism which ends up, at the end, and as usual, in a point that often is not anticipated by the reader. Today's object of the affection of Ibsen Martinez is Alma Guillermoprieto, noted bilingual Mexican journalist. Apparently she has decided to write on Venezuela and the result is not flattering, for the opposition at least. There are two assays from her in English that seem to be required reading. The last two paragraphs of Ibsen Martinez article.
A short while ago Adrián Liberman, clinical psychologist and unavoidable columnist of this paper [El Nacional], published in this very page, a devastating moral portrait of a good portion of the middle class, which is at the same time an iconoclastic dissection of the pathological and unproductive direction on how until now these middle and high classes have understood and lived the politics in a country which, no matter how much it might upset us, will not go back to the status quo prior 1998. [note to the reader, a few years ago Martinez by then already opposing Chavez, did not think that 1998 was as much a change as 1899 or 1946, but Ibsen perhaps suffer from the same frailties we all suffer on occasion].If anyone has those articles, please send them in for posting!
These classes, self pleasing in the moral question and dim witted on the citizenship duties, want to relieve now that the abstention movement is going to be the neutron bomb that Hill finish Chavez, World do good learning from the prodigious hidden truth detector that Alma Guillermoprieto has seen for the immediate future of Venezuelans.
Teodoro Petkoff tells us our job is still cut out for us.
In an editorial much more constructive than the very appropriate and deserved lashing by Duran, or the lengthy but amusing musings of Martinez, Petkoff goes straight to the point. He starts by reminding that not even two weeks ago actually the CNE had was on record against the Morochas. And then starts with his opening salvo.
The constitutional hall of the TSJ did not produce any surprise. A tribunal where the magistrates are among others individuals as "tramparente" Carrasquero [the manipulator of the CNE pre referendum], the bodacious Velazquez Alvaray [the one of the constitutional reform to allow ad infinitum re-election of Chavez and more powers to him, by the way] and the ineffable Cabrerita [pejorative diminutive for Cabrera who apparently has never voted in any decision that could cast any feeble limit on the bolibanana revolution] would have never ruled against the will of Yo El Supremo.We all new that, Ramos Allup knew that.
What the ruling ratified is the depth that autocracy-- the concentration of all public powers in the fist of the president-- as a defining trait of the government.See your blogger comments on that a few days ago. Bloggers do not have to wait for Mondays to publish editorials. But Teodoro goes ahead and says that it was still worth it to go to court.
Each time that it is possible to put forward, in front of its own organizations, the authoritarian, the autocratic, the militaristic and corrupt nature of the governments, we must do so. This is never a waste and underlines the will of the country not to surrender, not matter how adverse the circumstances.[snip] A democratic strategy to confront chavismo feeds on such acts, no matter how irrelevant they might seem short term.And now, back to earth.
Before Thursday the morochas were valid, and since that day the TSJ kept them valid. There is no change. Whomever wanted to vote before the TSJ decision ahs no reason why to change his mind.Ah! Teodoro is the man!
[snip] To vote or not to vote is a political decision and not a moral or ethical one. In the present conditions of unfairness and obscene official advantage, the more so; it is more efficient that political parties develop an alternative, to put on trial the incompetent administration, to denounce and stand up to unfair advantage […] instead of believing in pregnant birds of the 350 [civil disobedience within the law, as per the 1999 constitution] of which political deficiencies we have enough proof. But there is one thing, parties and candidates must run their campaign, because asking to vote and not campaign, nor organizing an electoral machine would be as bad as calling for abstention. And energetic campaign is the best electoral motivator.
So there you have it, the hawk, the dreamer and the pragmatist. Pick your choice.

PS: I cannot resit also posting the words of Ibsen Martinez on Juan Forero
The worst of these repeat offenders "correspondents" might be Juan Forero, the hound that the New York Times sends us regularly. With his operation base in Bogota, Forero is only a short hop from Venezuela whenever there is some ground disturbance, and invariably sends his readers something that, believe it or not, seems coming from the press offices of Miraflores palace or the hard drive of Ignacio Ramonet.Only Ibsen can ridicule so elegantly Forero, Ramonet, and chavista propaganda. And be so right by the way. The new York Times lowered to the level of Le Monde Diplomatique by one who certainly used to be a reader! I love it!

DOC: Eric Robert Execution Scheduled for Monday
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota Department of Corrections has scheduled for Monday the execution for an inmate who killed a prison guard during a botched prison escape.
The Department of Corrections says 50-year-old Eric Robert is scheduled to die by lethal injection at approximately 10 p.m. Monday at the state penitentiary in Sioux Falls.
It's the same prison where Robert killed guard Ronald "RJ" Johnson during a failed escape attempt in April 2011. Robert was serving an 80-year sentence on a kidnapping conviction when he and inmate Rodney Berget attempted to escape the prison.
Robert pleaded guilty to the slaying and was sentenced to death.
Robert did not appeal the sentence and told a judge that if left alive, he would kill again. Berget has appealed his death sentence.

Mine would have been here last week of feb but i wanted the 14 plate and my current car goes back 28th feb. Bare in mind mine was ordered last week of november though.
Mine is a lease but still a factory order. The actual car order went in on 22nd november. Right now i have no idea where it is lol.

Nope. Nothing was ever found. Sold it with it still happening.
I had this with my first fiesta i had, Zetec S 2009. I took it to ford 4/5 times, they could never find any fault with it. Mine annoyingly went off at anytime though, even in the middle of the night.

Smart Guard
greenymk7 replied to BenKlock43's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubUse a decent quality shampoo and you will be fine. Your smart guard protection won't actually be lasting that long anyway, its only like every other product around in that it will wear off due to road conditions.
Mine came out at £192.52 Thats on a 3+35 and 10k miles. Went for zetec s with metallic paint, dab, auto lights & wipers, 17" wheels. Don't do that many long runs so i went for the 1.0 ecoboost 125.
If you are set on buying the car at the end you don't really have to worry about mileage as they will never check. £230 is a good price.
I currently lease my cars and find it perfectly fine. Just ordered my new fiesta on lease and got a crackin deal. It wasn't the ST though so im not sure on the cost of that and also the 20k miles. I have just used newbury leasing and they have been very good. Mine will be delivered 3rd march.

About GMT
Global Medical Training
North American Physician, Dr. Wil Johnson, MD created this organization. Dr. Wil transitioned from 28 years of a rural private practice in the USA after deciding to lifetime volunteer his time and medical / teaching skills for the benefit of others . He had deep humanitarian ideals that needed fertile soil to flourish. He also desired to help the impoverished of Central America and provide a heart and mind changing experience for trip participants from other cultures.
Dr. Wil has been doing this type of humanitarian work in C.A. since 2001. Initially he worked through other organizations. Eventually he decided to start serving with his own particular vision of objectives, methods, and outcomes.
GMT was founded in 2003 and began trips Jan 2004. We are a legally registered non-profit organization in Costa Rica. We based our organization there and have expanded to serve in Nicaragua, Panama, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic.
The participants will travel to Central American countries and communities where there is a great need for medical attention. Upon arrival, students will receive specific orientation and training for the clinics and the trip.
Our approach is student centered teaching /learning and active student participation in the process of medical assessments and treatments. Learn by doing. We will frame this within the context of various health care systems. We will analyze the comparative fairness, goodness, outcomes, dollar value, and failings of various systems.
Many issues will be discussed, e.g. the relationship of poverty, education, and Public Health to illness / well- being.
Students will be exposed to a medical environment where they will be allowed to observe AND actively participate in the medical assessments / treatments of patients who have scarce economic resources, poor access to healthcare, and have to live within various primitive types of Public Healthcare systems. We do this in various settings: urban and rural. This will include GMT clinics, visits to hospitals, other health facilities, and patient's homes. We employ local doctors, dentists, interpreters, and guides to teach, inform, and help supervise the trips. We utilize local community citizens to help in the clinics.
We will inform trip participants about the culture, history, politics, comparative healthcare systems, and Public Health problems of the countries in which we travel. We teach them how to apply that information to their experiences during clinics. We will reflect upon and discuss the medical and cultural experiences, and integrate this into action plans that will improve the well-being of these people. Medical and other professionals will be responsible for closely supervising, teaching, and nurturing this process.

Bruce and I threw a backyard barbecue with family and friends on Saturday afternoon. While playing ladder golf, darts, laughing, joking and most likely making our neighbors seriously annoyed, I spent a bit of time tending to the barbecue. I barbecued my apricot pork ribs while others pitched in with sides of fresh picked white corn, baked beans, watermelon, cherries, green salad, and cornbread. In addition to the apricot pork ribs, I made a batch of my Bacon Chipotle Potato Salad. My Bacon Chipotle Potato Salad is a tasty twist on the classic American potato salad. My Bacon Chipotle Potato Salad has a wonderful smokey bacon flavor and then kicked up in flavor with fiery chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. It's not your average potato salad. It's just simply delicious! Enjoy! Tessa
- 5 pounds potatoes (boiled, cooled, peeled and coarsely chopped)
- 8 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup minced sweet onion
- 6 Tbs apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbs chipotle pepper in adobo (minced)
- 1 Tbs Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp smoked salt or to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper or to taste
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- garnish with fresh snipped chives and pinches of paprika
Add potatoes, bacon, celery and onions to an extra large mixing bowl. Lightly toss. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, Dijon mustard, smoked salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. If you have any bacon grease leftover from the bacon, add about a tablespoon of it to the potatoes. Trust me… It adds a ton of flavor! Add the mayo mixture to potatoes. Lightly mix. Garnish with fresh snipped chives and pinches of paprika. Makes a big bowl or about 12-15 servings. Enjoy!

"It rewrites galactic history as we know it."
— Admiral Steven Hackett
You'll hear Admiral Hackett utter those words in the closing moments of BioWare's Leviathan campaign DLC for Mass Effect 3. That brief statement lays out the main reason to nab this 800 MS point release. If the lore of the Mass Effect universe is a big deal to you, then Leviathan amounts to must-have material. Just don't go in with the misconception that you're also getting a compelling mission add-on to complement the main questline. You will earn new war assets for your final assault on the Reapers orbiting Earth, but the path that you'll tread to to get there is really all about the final 20 minutes or so of story.
Leviathan sends Commander Shepard and company off on a galaxy-spanning hunt for the titular lost Reaper. It all starts innocently enough, with one researcher going missing and another murdered before your very eyes by a seemingly possessed lab assistant. We all know by now that the Reapers are able to take command of organic minds, and it quickly becomes clear that the lab shooting stinks of a similar form of indoctrination. You'll visit a variety of locations as you search for the missing Reaper, with actual Reapers shadowing you the whole time. They're looking for Leviathan too, for some unknown reason, and they're content to let you do all of the heavy-lifting while they observe from a distance.
While the DLC is paced a bit differently than your standard Mass Effect mission, there aren't really any particularly new twists on the gameplay. You'll run into some very light puzzle-solving, which mostly just amounts to "find the object" explorations of the assassinated researcher's lab. It's cool the first time, with a few red herrings thrown in to muck up your search parameters as your narrow down a list of possible target locations. The two subsequent trips back to the lab verge on tedium, however, though BioWare at least had the sense to make the lab accessible as a menu option alongside the Citadel's main docking bay when you land. Having to run around familiar Citadel locations and cycle through multiple load screens just to get on with the story would have been a real drag.
The tedious lab-hunting bits wouldn't be so problematic if there were more happening during your Leviathan-focused tour of the galaxy. There are maybe three combat encounters of any real note over the course of the 4-5 hour questline and no final "boss" encounter to speak of. The first non-Citadel part of your mission starts off with some ominous stage-setting… only to shift into what amounts to yet another "find the object" scavenger hunt. It's definitely a different sort of play than you saw in the main campaign, but different doesn't always translate to fun, and it certainly doesn't in this case.
Technically speaking at least, the execution is sound. Leviathan's assorted alien planets look great, from the lifeless decay of a fully indoctrinated mining facility built onto the surface of an asteroid to the crumbling ruins of a ship graveyard on the surface of an ocean world. Definitely take your time to stop and savor your surroundings if you want to get the most out of this DLC. Not only will you see some lovely sights, but you'll also find a scattering of new weapons and weapon upgrades to add to your arsenal.
The real payoff, however, comes at the end. Needless to say, you do eventually encounter Leviathan and some basic truths are revealed that, as Hackett states during your debriefing, effectively rewrite the history of the Mass Effect universe as we've come to know it. There's nothing in the realm of changes to the main endgame, but you'll develop a new understanding of what the Reapers are, where they come from, and what the cycles of life in the universe mean to them. It's clearer than ever than Shepard's role at the end of the Mass Effect trilogy's cycle is dramatically important, though it also feels like the true importance of your contributions won't fully reveal themselves until BioWare evolves the series further in future games.
The value of Leviathan as an add-on experience ultimately circles back to how much investment you have in the Mass Effect lore. There isn't a whole lot of game in the 4-5 hour questline, so if you've already played through Mass Effect 3 in full for the first time, you're not going to get a whole lot of satisfaction from playing this new material inside of an old save. It does, however, slot very well into the context of the larger story and it expands significantly on what we know of the larger universe that BioWare has constructed, so Leviathan isn't a total waste. Just don't forget that this is a re-write and not a replay; if action is what you're looking for, consider this one a pass.

text: Joe Ayoob succeeded Aaron Rodgers as Cal's starting quarterback in 2005. Ayoob's tenure lasted for just one season, during which he threw for nearly as many interceptions (14) as touchdowns (15), and the following year he was replaced as the Bears' starter. Turns out Ayoob has more of a paper arm. On Sunday at McClellan Air Force Base, Ayoob's throw of a plane designed by John Collins sailed 226 feet, 10 inches, besting the previous world record (207-4) by nearly 20 feet. Aaron Rodgers never did that. [Kegs 'N Eggs]
