On one of the hottest day this summer it started getting hot while idling. When we were going down the road it would cool down. We took it straight home. The next day we drove it 25 miles and shopped and on our way back it acted like it was running out of gas(10 miles in) but it had 1/4 a tank left. We couldn't get it to stay running. We put about a nother 1/4 a tank in of gas and then it started up and went probably 30 feet and died again. We finally got it to run for 14 more mile then it died and we couldn't keep it running. We've changed the fuel filter, fuel pump, and drained the gas from the tank because it didn't look right. Now we can get it to idle but everytime we push the gas to rev it up it dies and won't start unitl you let it sit for a little bit.
have the same problem?

Genesis Theatrical ProductionNFP is presenting a new musical "From Generation to Generation" at Stage 773 through May 1st. While this is a touching and moving story about a grandmother's "legacy" to her unborn granddaughter, I would have to call it a "work in progress" and the perfect play for a synagogue or Temple to put on as its annual fundraiser. Written by Karen Sokolof Javitch and Elaine Jabenis with Ms Javitch writing all of the 16 songs, this is a very sentimental story that has some charm and some comic touches, but in total hasn't got the chemistry that will allow the "general market" to truly understand the premise. There are many references to the past; from escaping the Holocaust, to the struggles of losing a family member, to an eerie production number where four of the ladies "spoof" Golda Meir, a very important part of the history of Israel.
Directed by long time local director David Zak and choreographed by Heather Haneman, this is a perfect community theater show or as I said earlier, a Temple fund raiser. The story is more for a Jewish audience than other ethnic groups and although many of them will understand and "get it", this is geared for a specific audience which is why in the program they have definitions for many of the terms used in this play. There are some strong performances in this production, led by Susan Veronica Adler as Rose Lieberman, who is dying of Cancer when her daughter tells her that she is pregnant. This, being a life changing moment is where the story takes us on the "legacy" ride where Rose begins to make tapes speaking of her life to her future grandchild and shares stories of her life with this yet to be child. I have no problem with the concept. It is all the silly "schtick" ( one they do not define in thei glossary- inane little jokes that really do nothing towards making the plot or story more understandable- just there for a laugh) and dialogue that adds nothing to the growth of what Rose must experience during this time in her life.
Think about how you would feel if you knew that you only had a short time to exist and that by the time you were gone a new child would be born, who would have only second hand knowledge of you and your value as a person. With technology today, we can leave more of a legacy than ever before. A video of that person talking to the other means that we would know the sound of their voice and what they looked like, not in a still photo, but in a conversational manner of just speaking to the child and telling stories of the past. Wow! I think back to my childhood and my Bubbie ( grandmother, on my father's side). I never knew her husband and only saw a few pictures of him. I always felt that it would be a wonderful moment to have a sit down with Max and get to know who he was and his story. Today, we can leave a series of things that will allow those to follow, a feeling that for one brief moment, they knew who we were.
This is the premise of the play and although it gets there, it leaves far to many holes along the way. While I loved Ms Adler and many of the other cast members (the lovely Annamarie Schutt, Ashley Stein, the adorable Nicole Rudakova- who packs a powerful voice, and Darrelyn Marx) I found the ensemble miscast for many of the roles they had to take, but understanding the limited number of performers one can use in a small scale production, they all did a great job, again with a limited script to work with. There were a couple of songs that I would keep, even if a rewrite is done. I absolutely loved "Life Was Simple Then", "My Bubbie and Me", "Sabbath Prayer" and of course "From Generation to Generation"
While this show has possibilities, if they want to proceed in order to really reach the general market, they need to tighten up the story and get to the truth about leaving behind something of yourself, in a way that it crosses religious lines. They Greeks, Italians, Mexicans and polish all have similar feelings and emotions. There is no reason that this play has to be "over Jewish" in order to be sensitive. Trust me, these feelings and emotions are the same to us all. Yes there are times you will smile and times that you will feel that little tear rolling down your cheek, but to feel these emotions, "You Do Not Have To Be Jewish".
"From Generation to generation" will continue at Stage 773 (formerly The Theatre Building) located at 1225 West Belmont in Chicago through May 1st with performances as follows:Thursday,Friday and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $30 and discounts for seniors and students are available. Hey, Bubbies- bring in a photo of your grandchild ( the one you kvell over), buy a senior ticket ( yes, you have to admit to being a senior) and you will get a CD of the music in this production, PLUS- your grandchild's photo will be placed on the wall- the Bubbie Board for all to see.

Linda M. Samuel, a Justice Department lawyer who worked to recover funds acquired through international crime, died Sept. 13 at the Washington Home hospice. She was 55.
The cause was breast cancer, said her son, Oliver Samuel-Jakubos.
Ms. Samuel, a District resident, worked in the Justice Department for 29 years, first as a trial lawyer in the Commercial Litigation Branch from 1984 to 1990. She then transferred to the criminal division and, in 2002, became deputy chief of the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section's international unit.
In that role, which she held until her death, she represented the Justice Department at the United Nations and other international bodies.
She was a recipient of the Justice Department's John Marshall Award for Asset Forfeiture in 2012 for her work in cross-border cooperation in forfeiture and money laundering matters.
Linda Marie Samuel was born in Milton, Fla., and grew up in Chinchilla, Pa. She was a 1978 graduate of Pennsylvania State University and 1981 graduate of Catholic University law school. She received a master's degree in law from Georgetown University in 1986.
Early in her career, she was a trial lawyer for the Department of Energy.
Survivors include her husband of 24 years, Jake Jakubos, and three children, Oliver Samuel-Jakubos, Kendall Samuel-Jakubos and Haley Samuel-Jakubos, all of Washington; her parents, Gordon and Jeanne Samuel of Pensacola, Fla.; four sisters, Valerie S. Scott of Raleigh, N.C., Kelley Samuel of Washington, Jennifer S. Bernier of Silver Spring and Susan S. McPherson of Sherborn, Mass.; and a brother, Gordon Samuel Jr. of Scottsdale, Ariz.

New thin film transistor may lead to flexible devices
New thin film transistor may lead to flexible devices
An engineering research team at the University of Alberta has invented a new transistor that could revolutionize thin-film electronic devices. Their findings, published in the prestigious science journal Nature Communications, could open the door to the development of flexible electronic devices with applications as wide-ranging as display technology to medical imaging and renewable energy production.
The team was exploring new uses for thin film transistors (TFT), which are most commonly found in low-power, low-frequency devices like the display screen you're reading from now. Efforts by researchers and the consumer electronics industry to improve the performance of the transistors have been slowed by the challenges of developing new materials or slowly improving existing ones for use in traditional thin film transistor architecture, known technically as the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET).
But the U of A electrical engineering team did a run-around on the problem. Instead of developing new materials, the researchers improved performance by designing a new transistor architecture that takes advantage of a bipolar action. In other words, instead of using one type of charge carrier, as most thin film transistors do, it uses electrons and the absence of electrons (referred to as "holes") to contribute to electrical output. Their first breakthrough was forming an 'inversion' hole layer in a 'wide-bandgap' semiconductor, which has been a great challenge in the solid-state electronics field.
Once this was achieved, "we were able to construct a unique combination of semiconductor and insulating layers that allowed us to inject "holes" at the MOS interface," said Gem Shoute, a PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering who is lead author on the article. Adding holes at the interface increased the chances of an electron "tunneling" across a dielectric barrier. Through this phenomenon, a type of quantum tunnelling, "we were finally able to achieve a transistor that behaves like a bipolar transistor."
"It's actually the best performing [TFT] device of its kind--ever," said materials engineering professor Ken Cadien, a co-author on the paper. "This kind of device is normally limited by the non-crystalline nature of the material that they are made of"
The dimension of the device itself can be scaled with ease in order to improve performance and keep up with the need of miniaturization, an advantage that modern TFTs lack. The transistor has power-handling capabilities at least 10 times greater than commercially produced thin film transistors.
Electrical engineering professor Doug Barlage, who is Shoute's PhD supervisor and one of the paper's lead authors, says his group was determined to try new approaches and break new ground. He says the team knew it could produce a high-power thin film transistor--it was just a matter of finding out how.
"Our goal was to make a thin film transistor with the highest power handling and switching speed possible. Not many people want to look into that, but the raw properties of the film indicated dramatic performance increase was within reach," he said. "The high quality sub 30 nanometre (a human hair is 50 nanometres wide) layers of materials produced by Professor Cadien's group enabled us to successfully try these difficult concepts"
In the end, the team took advantage of the very phenomena other researchers considered roadblocks.
"Usually tunnelling current is considered a bad thing in MOSFETs and it contributes to unnecessary loss of power, which manifests as heat," explained Shoute. "What we've done is build a transistor that considers tunnelling current a benefit."
The team has filed a provisional patent on the transistor. Shoute says the next step is to put the transistor to work "in a fully flexible medium and apply these devices to areas like biomedical imaging, or renewable energy."

Slovakia has made significant economic reforms since its separation from the Czech Republic in 1993. Reforms to the taxation, healthcare, pension, and social welfare systems helped Slovakia to consolidate its budget and get on track to join the EU in 2004 and to adopt the euro in January 2009. Major privatizations are nearly complete, the banking sector is almost entirely in foreign hands, and the government has helped facilitate a foreign investment boom with business friendly policies such as labor market liberalization and a 19% flat tax. Foreign investment in the automotive sector has been strong. Slovakia's economic growth exceeded expectations in 2001-08 despite the general European slowdown. Unemployment, at an unacceptable 18% in 2003-04, dropped to 7.4% in 2008 but remains the economy's Achilles heel. Despite its 2006 pre-election promises to loosen fiscal policy and reverse the previous DZURINDA government's pro-market reforms, FICO's cabinet has thus far been careful to keep a lid on spending in order to meet euro adoption criteria and has focused on regulating energy and food prices instead.

LG Optimus 2X coming to Europe next month, rumored for US in March 2011
December 22, 2010 | by Andrew Kameka
The LG Optimus 2X is slated to be released first in Korea, but it will end up in European shops beginning in January 2011. And when it arrives, the 2X will support ringtones from movie composer Ennio Morricone. Users may remember Morricone as the composer behind a long-list of films. Morricone will provide 25 compositions that will come pre-loaded on the Optimus 2X, 15 of which will be exclusive to the device.
The Optimus 2X is slated to cost £470 when it arrives in the UK. Some users may have been scared off because they saw inflated prices, but that's only when converting to another currency. Keep in mind that companies set prices based on what the market in each nation will allow; just because it costs X amount of Kronor doesn't mean you can convert that same price to Y amount of dollars.
And while we're on the subject of the Optimus 2X, there's a rumor – repeat, a rumor – that the phone may arrive stateside in March 2011. Don't put too much stock into this, but RCRWireless claims to have it on "good authority" that the 2X launches on T-Mobile next March.

HARRIMAN, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Harriman Police say a hit and run's to blame for killing a 59-year-old man found near 601 Pansy Hill Road Friday morning.
It's a winding road where Dennis Hester took his last steps while walking home from a store.
Hester lived on the road with his brother Leroy. "He told me he was going to buy some cigarettes. I said are you gong to come back? He said 'yes' in about 15-20 minutes," says Leroy.
"They drive up and down that road too fast," he says.
Now the search is on for the driver. Harriman Police Department Chief Randy Heidle says, "There was some evidence left at the scene to help us close the case."
Leroy says, "He was a nice person. He was a nice person."
Chief Heidle says they have a person of interest in this case.

Great expectations
Posted by Chad Finn, Globe Staff May 14, 2009 05:40 PM
. . . Scott Walker's painful comeuppance, preferably at the hands of Milan Lucic.
. . . A goal for Shane Hnidy. Hey, if Montador can get one.
. . . An uneventful night's work for Tim Thomas. And no juicy rebounds when the Hurricanes do test him.
. . . A turning-point play for Patrice Bergeron. I can think of no Bruin who deserves it more, save for maybe the likable hockey vagabond Thomas.
. . . At least three savvy passes/decisions from David Krejci, TATB's official Bruins binky.
. . . A victory on the ice in Boston.
. . . and if it's not too much to ask, one on the hardwood in Orlando too.

Home :: Being Forty
I turned 40 the other day. It came as quite a shock. I wasn't expecting that much vomit.
Yes, in a sequence of events so crappy it could have been a verse in Alanis Morrisette's "Ironic", a day that was to contain magic, dancing and celebrations became a day of projectile vomiting, sweats and mumbled apologies.
I have no idea what happened. It could have been food poisoning. It could have been a 24-hour bug with really bad timing. At 7.00 on the morning of my birthday I was in the bathroom praying to the great porcelain god. As the day progressed, so did the illness and I ended up propped up on my mother, in the street, decorating the pavement like a drunk on a Friday night. Not a good look for someone who has been teetotal for nearly two years. And I threw up all over my nice new green dress. Don't worry Barenaked Ladies fans, it's not a real green dress (that's cruel).
Being confined to bed and bucket on your birthday inspires much deep thinking. "Life is short" "Life is really short" "I'm going to die very soon." "I WANT MY MUM!!" As the symptoms eased so did the melodrama, but I was left with a reminder that you never know what's around the corner so that "living for now" business really is a good idea. It got me thinking about my future, my ambitions and creativity. The art materials gathering dust, the lack of blog posts and the general neglect of something that means a great deal to me.
So what does this mean? Well, it means as I ease myself into my forties I'm going to try to keep the creativity up; blog more, paint more, knit and play. I'm going to try to honour my ambitions and enjoy every minute of life, because rumour has it that now I'm 40, life has begun. Onwards!

"Perhaps the most important difference between the two . . . is the opportunity to have small conversations over dinner about hunger and the work we do to break the cycle of poverty, hunger and homelessness," Curtin wrote via e-mail.
"While the Food Fight [is] in many ways a grand celebration of the work we do over the course of a year, these small gatherings give people an opportunity to reflect in a very meaningful way on that work," Curtin added.
Anyone who has attended the sprawling Food Fight at the Reagan Building, where even the larger-than-life Andres has trouble being heard over the din, understands the appeal of these intimate gatherings held in private homes across the District. There is not only an opportunity to discuss Important Issues, but a chance to taste multi-course menus from some of the finest chefs in Washington, New York and elsewhere.
The list of participating chefs is impressive to even the most jaded of eaters. Among many others, it includes Mike Anthony from Gramercy Tavern in Manhattan, Elizabeth Bourgeois of La Mas Tourteron in Gorde, France, former 10 Arts chef and "Top Chef" contestant Jennifer Carroll, Scott Drewno from The Source, Joel Hough from Il Buco in New York, Haidar Karoum from Proof, Michael Solomonov from Zahav in Philadelphia, Vikram Sunderam from Rasika and Alice Waters from Chez Panisse, one of the founders of the dinners back during President Obama's inauguration in 2009.
Did I mention that the price of admission for the dinners is steep enough to launch an Occupy Sunday Night Suppers movement?
Despite a price tag of $550 per person — a $50 increase over last year — there are less than 10 tickets left to the 20 separate dinners, notes cookbook author Joan Nathan. As with the past three dinners, Nathan is co-hosting the event this year with Waters and Andres.
You can check ticket availability here.
Not only has the price increased for the event, but so have the sheer number of dinners, up from 14 suppers last year. "I don't know if we want to do more than 20," Nathan notes. "It's a bit much."
The planning is a marvel of efficiency and generosity. Dozens of people have volunteered their time — although the chefs will receive a small stipend this year for groceries, for the first time — and suppliers of all sorts have donated ingredients, dishware and such. Congressional Seafood is donating the fish; Capital Meats is donating the beef and other meats; Jamison Farm is donating the lamb; Wegmans is donating groceries and Whole Foods is donating cold hard cash, Nathan notes.
The overhead for the dinners is very low, Nathan adds.
In all, organizers hope to raise about $200,000 for D.C. Central Kitchen and Martha's Table (where Nathan sits on the board), split evenly between the two. If they reach that mark, it would be a $50,000 increase over last year's donation.
For those who can't cover the cost of a dinner ticket but still want to make a conribution to the two nonprofits that fight homelessness and poverty, organizers offer a more affordable option. Saturday Night Sips will be held, well, on Saturday night at the Newseum, which is donating the space for the evening. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. and costs $125 per person. You can buy tickets here.
Saturday Night Sips will, as the name implies, feature designer cocktails as well as small bites by chefs such as Antonio Burrell from Masa 14, Justin Bittner of Bar Pilar, Dennis Marron of Poste Moderne Brasserie, Michael Costa of Zaytinya and "Hell's Kitchen" winner Rock Harper, now at D.C. Central Kitchen. There will also be an "Artisan Alley" this year as part of Sips, featuring handcrafted products from local chefs and companies.
Nathan, Waters and Andres are expected to be on hand for Saturday Night Sips, as well, so guests won't feel as though they're being deprived of their fair share of celebrity-chef time.

FORT WORTH, Texas — One of the world's premier graphite shaft manufacturers, United Sports Technologies® (UST) proudly announces that 12-year PGA Tour veteran Rod Pampling has joined the UST Tour Staff. A two-time winner in 2006 with UST graphite shafts, Pampling is playing a Proforce V2 graphite shafts in his TaylorMade R7 460 driver and R7 fairway woods.
A native of Queensland, Australia, Pampling turned professional in 1994 and soon enjoyed success on the PGA Tour of Australasia, where he won the 1999 Canon Challenge. He achieved his first PGA Tour win at The INTERNATIONAL in 2004 and his second at the 2006 Bay Hill Invitational, which vaulted him into the Top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings. Also in 2006, he teamed up with Jerry Kelly to win the 2006 Merrill Lynch Shootout.
"We're very excited about our new relationship with Rod Pampling joining our staff," says Gene Simpson, vice president of marketing for UST brands. "Rod has already had great success playing the Proforce V2, and it's a pleasure to 'officially' make him part of the UST team."
The Proforce V2's playing characteristics and low-torque design deliver a stable and consistent performance, that is specially optimized for today's 400cc to 460cc clubheads, explains Simpson. Today's larger driver heads increase hit-ability for many golfers, however, the larger heads also possess centers of gravity (CG) which have been repositioned further away from the shaft's center line which results in more stress and twisting on the shaft. The V2's low-torque design provides the power and control needed for 400cc to 460cc heads, prevents clubheads from twisting open on impact, and limits the amount of back spin imparted onto the ball, thus transferring more energy at impact with superior control.
The Proforce V2 — a 15-time winner on worldwide tours since its introduction — utilizes a proprietary graphite fiber orientation to enable the shaft to recover consistently when loaded or flexed and to give the shaft an incredibly stable feel in the golfer's hands. Combining fiber orientation with lower torque engineering and enhanced flexibility, the V2 provides unparalleled stability and consistency, and balances the tip section to achieve a medium ball flight with increased ball speed, while the optimized torque reduces spin for superior control.
For more information on UST or UST products, contact UST Sales and Public Relations Manager Randy Stuart at 281.250.8465 or visit www.ustgolfshaft.com.

I try very, very hard to keep my ears away from today's pop music, because autotuning is like Fran Drescher scraping her teeth across a chalkboard to me. So when some girl named Carly Rae Jepsen became an overnight sensation with a song called "Call Me Maybe" I was determined to avoid it as well, because people kept Tweeting about how catchy it was despite being terrible. Then I attended two weddings this weekend and that was shot to hell, because I think I heard it roughly a dozen times.
With that plan destroyed, I figured it was time to check out that Harvard baseball video that has racked up 8 million views on YouTube over the past few weeks. In case you're unfamiliar – and if you are, you deserve a Purple Heart – the Harvard boys performed a little choreographed dance routine in their team van and the Internet went apesh*t for it. Admittedly, it was inspired, despite the song being cookie cutter, assembly line pop regurgitation.
Sadly, I didn't watch my step as I turned away, and I fell into a terrible YouTube wormhole of "response" and "tribute" videos to the Crimson, and by response and tribute videos I mean terrible, blatant rip-offs. Apparently some other sports teams saw Harvard's unique performance and successful viral video as a glove-drop and they all tried to out-do it. You know, by doing the same freaking thing.
After the jump, take a leap into the wormhole with me and watch how a meme is born and then slaughtered in a matter of days.
A meme is born. The world rejoices in this new discovery. "All hail Harvard baseball," the Internet chants. An era of prosperity begins and YouTube flourishes.
The first challenger arrives. Responds Harvard baseball, "Uh, cool." Suddenly, more wanderers arrive at the gates, demanding their shot at the YouTube throne. The worshipers take notice and their faith and allegiance begin to dwindle.
Caravans arrive at Harvard's blossoming kingdom, as opportunistic pretenders try to sell their snake oils and magic potions to Harvard's faithful. Soon, everyone begins to question what they even saw in Harvard in the first place.
The kingdom is now overrun with beggars and thieves. Nobody feels safe anymore. The quality of effort and production is at an all-time low and Harvard has lost the love and appreciation of its people. Talks of a coup spread like wildfire.
Vagabonds and derelicts rush the palace gates and slaughter Harvard in its slumber. Pieces of the body are delivered to the four corners of the Internet with messages that no sports team will reign supreme over YouTube with originality and creativity in this chaotic era.
As expected, pretenders try to assume the throne, but the people have grown ill and malnourished. A plague threatens a once lively and beautiful kingdom. It will take a miracle now to save this wretched slum.
The plague washes over the once loyal people of Harvard's "Call Me Maybe". The final death blow arrives in the form of a Matty B rap video. Survivors have begun bundling their gear to travel to new realms. Some even send their children up the river with hopes that they'll be discovered and saved by other people.
The children are all eaten by alligators. Dragons have been woken from their slumber as well, and they spend their days feasting on the flesh of the surviving populace as they try to escape Harvard's certain death and decay.
Waves of feral animals invade the kingdom's remains and devour the corpses of the pretenders and "challengers". All that remains is a land of feral animal excrement.
A few survivors arrive at a new kingdom that appears to be unaffected by the illness of the neighboring darkness. They're taken in and treated well. This kingdom doesn't have much, but at least it's better than what the survivors had been dealing with.
The dragons and feral animals catch up to the survivors and they brought the plague with them, too. Everyone in the new kingdom is dead now, too. And the feral animals are crapping everywhere.
And the decay continues to spread in one form or another for the rest of eternity…
Dear Sports Teams, Enough With The 'Call Me Maybe' Covers Already

Is it possible to ever tire of zootherapy research? We reckon not, and this study (PDF) from the Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine supports our thesis rather strongly. The paper looks at the use of animals as medicine in a rural corner of Northeast Brazil. Our favorite listed remedy involves the Gray-breasted martin, known to the lab-coat set as Progne chalybea. The Brazilians surveyed swear by the animals' effectiveness in treating alcoholism—as long as you're willing to consume the entire bird, feathers and all.
We'd love to see some sort of controlled study that assesses the bird's effectiveness versus that of Antabuse. Though we do think there might be some ethical complications in coming up with a placebo bird.

|24.01.2013 - $10 bln out of the National Oil Fund has gone to nowhere: President Nazarbayev
|Kazakhstan earmarked $ 10 billion out of the National Oil Fund [accumulating windfall oil revenues] to combat the financial crisis. However, the money has gone nowhere, a Tengrinews.kz journalist reports, citing President Nazarbayev as saying at a sitting in his Akorda Residence held to tally 2012 results. "It's easy to ask for money out of the National Oil Fund. The $ 10 billion allocated to combat the financial crisis is gone. There is no pay-off", President said.

Somerville Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone and Director of the city's Housing Division Dana LeWinter announce that the Somerville-Arlington Continuum of Care, a collaborative planning body of local homeless providers that coordinates housing and services for homeless families and individuals, was awarded $2,334,299 in funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for homeless assistance programs following the 2012 application process. Additionally, the Continuum filed a proposal for a new permanent housing program that would provide housing and supportive services to ten chronically homeless individuals. Those results are expected to be announced later this spring. The Continuum was awarded $2,237,821 in 2011, $2,235,913 in 2010, $2,233, 788 in 2009 and $1.9 million in 2008.
Due to a highly competitive grant process, program awards have been announced by Tiers. HUD awarded $1.5 billion to Tier 1 projects in March of 2013, and $72 million to Tier 2 projects in May of 2013. Tier two awards supported a wide range of programs nationally, including street outreach, client assessment and direct housing assistance.
"We are extremely fortunate to continue to receive support from state and federal leaders, like HUD, to provide necessary services to our residents, particularly our most vulnerable populations, and that with a very competitive grant process our Continuum of Care has again received the necessary funding to continue this great work," said Mayor Curtatone.
The grant money provides permanent and transitional housing to homeless persons, and also funds important case management and other services that may include job training, money management training, health care, mental health counseling and substance abuse treatment. Grants are awarded competitively to local programs to meet the needs of their homeless clients. Providers receiving funding through the Somerville-Arlington Continuum include the Somerville Homeless Coalition, Heading Home, Just a Start Corporation, CASPAR, Wayside Youth and Family Support Network, Somerville Community Corporation, and Catholic Charities.
"All of our agencies in Somerville working on homelessness collaborate on this federal application together with the help and support of the City. We are grateful that all of our programs received renewed funding; this is our major source of funds to combat homelessness," said Mark Alston-Follansbee, Executive Director of the Somerville Homeless Coalition. "While we are thankful for these grants, we are also concerned about the federal sequestration cuts that will take 5% from each one. We hope congress understands that poor and homeless people have as much need for support as the air traffic controllers that got their funding restored."

A while back I posted my video about my dad's final request – to have his ashes scattered at one of his favorite viewpoints in the mountains.
My dad was never interested in geocaching, but my wife, kids and I are and we placed a new geocache – the only one we've ever placed – in the same general location as where we scattered his ashes. (Back a bit from the cliff edge, though.)
As the "owner" of the cache, I get updates every time someone finds it and I see their comments. They trickle in slowly, like unexpected presents.
So far, all have been appreciative of the view. Somehow it makes me feel good that my dad's love of that view is being spread to others.
It feels as if he's still making a positive difference on the living.

Given May 2017
I read the seven scriptures below each morning as part of my devotion time. One morning, as I began reading, I suddenly had the idea that this could be viewed as a scene in a movie. Picture this in your mind as the scene unfolds:
In the first scene, you're standing there with God and you say, "You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever." (Psalm 16:11). God nods His head and replies, "I know the plans I have for you. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11). God puts His arm around you and says, "Let's go."
Then the scene changes to the apostle Paul speaking to a group of believers of which you are a part. "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." (Ephesians 2:10). The crowd shouts, "Amen!" "For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him." (Philippians 2:13). You shout, "Amen!" "We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose for them." (Romans 8:28). The crowd exclaims, "Thank you Lord!" Then Paul ends his oration with this: "Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think." (Ephesians 3:20). Paul asks, "Can I get a witness?" You and the crowd shout, "Glory to God, praise His name!"
Now the scene shifts to God and Jesus observing this assembly with smiles on their faces. God says to Jesus, "The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." (John 10:10). They both nod their heads in agreement as the crowd, we, continues to praise and worship the goodness of God.
Can you see it? Are you in the crowd? Thank you Lord!

Are you going to be stocking up on these and the Black Button pair?? After a size 28!
giuliamorettii, 16 Feb 2017
I just received my first Freddies order, and I agree that these jeans are great! Only one drawback: if you are petite like me (1.55 m), despite the fact that these jeans are the Freddies with the shortest rise, they will probably be low in the crotch. I did buy the smallest size available, and they would fit me perfectly if the rise was just a few centimeters shorter. I will end up keeping them and either getting them altered or simply pulling them up a little higher and wearing a belt, but it would be great if Freddies would consider making one size smaller for all the petite girls who love these styles (also I would love to buy other Freddies of Pinewood jean styles but am scared that they'll come up way too high to look normal on me!).FREDDIES REPLY..it sounds as though the 24 is too big and your waist is less than 24".You should not have to pull them up.A smaller waist size would have a lower rise.I'm afraid there just isn't the demand for sizes smaller than 24.

These lovely jeans would be great in a long leg! Hint hint !!

These are the best jeans I have ever owned. So flattering and super comfy!

Music helps so many of us get through the everyday grind — the early morning sound of the alarm, the boring paperwork, the stinky diaper changes and washing the dishes. This week, people in this community have some great opportunities to dive head-first into the music scene with the wonderful combination of the Savannah Jazz Festival from Sept. 23-30 and Hinesville's ninth annual Blues & BBQ on Saturday night, Sept. 29.
This year will be my first visit to the Savannah Jazz Festival and my second to Hinesville's Blues & BBQ, and I'm completely jazzed.
Last year, my husband and I stopped in to check out the music and food briefly, but this year I plan to clear my evening for a night full of good tunes and good eats.
I also hope to spend at least one day in Savannah checking out the great jazz artists there, including Judge Jay Stewart's band, which is playing Friday night at 8:15 p.m. in Forsyth Park.
Saturday's Hinesville lineup includes Jimmy Wayne Renfro, Everready and Joey Gilmore from 4-11 p.m. downtown. My daughter probably will demand we leave before 11, but I'm sticking around for as long as she will allow.
Since she also happens to be a fan of music and barbecue, my luck is looking up.
Now that summer's long gone and we're all back to the hustle and bustle of school, sports and the long wait until our next vacation, this week is the perfect opportunity to clear your head and enjoy the beauty of mind-blowing musical artistry and finger-licking-good barbecue — two of my favorite things in the world.

I'm pretty sure they're not any better single target(ele has rather good cleave i recon, though?).
As for Healthstones, that's an argument for having one Warlock, not multiple.
Sure, you'll say, well, what about Boomkin, or Ele. I don't deny Ele is in a bad spot, but this isn't because of single target DPS, it has everything to do with their kit. Ele has never been and never will be, good at multi-dotting fights, and that's precisely what this tier is full of. Boomkin doesn't have the sheer numbers that Affliction or Shadow have, but they are an obvious case where the general populace underrates them and top, world-first level guilds 'stacked' them (relatively) for progression (Paragon had 2 and 1 Warlock for Sha, Method had 3 and 2 Warlocks).
I don't really understand why hybrid taxes are 'pathetic' or 'disgusting' or 'bullshit'. Until Blizzard separates trees, talents and skills completely Hybrids will always be able to do things that Pures cannot. This is valuable. It's not amazing in Patchwerk, but in fights with Phasing, groups, or fights requiring more than just DPS, being able to do other things to handle RNG and corner cases merits rosters spots. That is what this tier was. You cannot move forward without a tax because that just leads to Cataclysm 2.0 - why would anyone bring more than 1 Warlock when a Shadow Priest does the same DPS (or better) along with being able to Disperse, Hymn, Mass Dispel, Leap of Faith, Void Shift etc.
Officially, yes. Look at the results now though, and heal-OS Hybrids are the only specs lagging behind in DPS.Didn't they do away with the concept of hybrid tax like two expansions ago?

I really don't see much of a problem with hybrids now. While I do agree that they should be able to compete with pure DPS classes they have still been needed on most fights.
I really hope that affli spec will be nerf.
I am tired with the mentality :
"Oh darling, we suck on pvp" -> "No pb, we won't touch to ur spec on pve"
"Oh fuck morron, OP spec on pvp !" -> "No pb, 10% nerf on pve"
... ... ...

Compensating for good utility by lowering damage is bad design, which is why Blizzard has - agian, officially - moved away from it.
Also, pure utility isn't as bad as most people seem to think. Sure, it can't compare to Elemental/Shadow/Boomkin utility, which may be too good, but it's definitely on par with Warrior/DK (and possibly Enh/Ret) utility.
I don't think this thread is ever going beyond mages/hybrids calling for warlock nerfs and warlocks saying they're fine.
After being Medieve the Uberpally for many years, finally shelved in favor of Belledanna, the Uberlock!!! (patent pending)
-Unretired as of the launch of 6.0! Currently guild shopping. Need a good Warlock? I need a good home!
Scorch with moving should be baseline IMO, mages are very stationary as it is...
Wish all casters were a little more stationary TBH. It takes away what was traditionally one of the big downsides to casters. (Source)
Stationary may look good from a design theory perspective, but it's really not fun to play glued to the floor.
At the end of the day, there aren't many ways we can challenge folks. If we can't make moving a challenge, we lose a big one. (Source)
The affliction spec is in a weird state right now. It's pulling great numbers in PvE but as far as PvP goes, it's utter crap.
In theory the solution could be simple - make dots hit harder without being dependant on Haunt and MG. Which gets complicated in multidotting situations...
Workaround could be to limit the amount of dotted targets to three. And try to balance the numbers around that without making it stand out so much in PvE...

Retired World's Best Warlock.
There's nothing 'bold' about that statement at all. Even with Demonology having a broken mechanic in Simcraft (Shadowflame isn't scaling off of Meta, huge dps loss) and the garbage APL, these are the results on a 10 minute fight with 0% vary length and heavy movement: Demo vs Aff
Keep in mind that once Simcraft fixes the issue with Meta scaling and I do some work on the APL, the Demo numbers are going to go up pretty dramatically, and they're already 3k ahead. Without KJC, Affliction would not be played as much as it is.
All of that said, half the tier is borderline patchwerk so none of it really matters.

The longer the fight the higher the chance that Aff beats Demo Teye. Aff does very well in long term fights due to spec efficiency(of which it is one of the highest in the game) and doesn't have to worry about damage spikes. Not to mention the damage bonus they get from utilizing Grimoire of Sacrifice.
Look at 99th percentile on any fight, there are a few where it is ahead, but on many other classes wreck it.
It's just that more people know how to play Affliction Warlock properly than any other class. In fact Mages sim higher than Warlocks now.

Backpacker: 1970s Issues Online
—01. Vol. 1, No. 3 – Autumn 1973.
—02. Vol. 1, No. 4 – Winter 1973.
On numerous occasions Google Books has been an indispensable resource for hard to find materials that I was dying to see. One such treasure was searching for and happening upon issues of Backpacker magazine from the 1970s. The first few years of this publication are worth a scroll through to see advertisements from now iconic companies like The North Face, Patagonia and Eddie Bauer in a fledgling hiking magazine. The vintage gear from these brands and many smaller mail-order companies is certainly the highlight and this collection of copies online is incredibly generous.

A Perle Before . . .
David Frum April 21st, 2003 at 12:00 am Comments Off
1974. U.S. presidents are clinking champagne glasses with the masters of the
Kremlin — and foreign-policy realists are quietly urging Americans to take
whatever deals they can get from the Soviets: Our side is losing the Cold War,
and the next deal will be much, much worse. There aren't many people around who
still think the United States might actually win the Cold War. One of them is a
then-young aide on the staff of Sen. Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson. The
aide's name is Richard Perle — and that very year, he and his boss would
astonish just about everyone by passing a law, the Jackson-Vanik amendment,
denying access to the U.S. market to Communist countries that prevented their
people from emigrating.
1979. The world situation seems, if possible, even worse than in 1974.
President Jimmy Carter has just sent the Senate a new arms-control treaty that
would lock in forever the nuclear advantages the Soviets grabbed during the
1970s. The treaty looks unstoppable: When has a Democratic Senate ever rejected
a treaty sent up by a Democratic president? But Jackson and Perle organize the
opposition — and early the following year, Carter has to surrender and
withdraw the treaty.
1983. Hundreds of thousands of Europeans are protesting Ronald Reagan's decision
to deploy Pershing missiles. A nervous State Department is desperately trying
to placate the protesters by offering the Soviets one deal after another.
Perle, now an assistant secretary of defense, scuppers one concession after
another. The Soviets, he consistently points out, are already cheating on every
existing agreement — there should be no new agreements until the old ones are
1986. Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev are meeting at Reykjavik, Iceland.
Gorbachev startles the American delegation by offering up just about everything
that U.S. arms controllers had ever wished for in the 1980s — in exchange for
Reagan's surrendering on the Strategic Defense Initiative. In a hasty
conference, Reagan tallies the opinions of his top defense aides. Almost
everyone present urges Reagan to say yes. Perle argues for a no. And no is the
answer Reagan gives.
are only four moments from a long career of public service. Over three decades,
few Americans have contributed more to the nation's security and the freedom of
the world than Richard Perle. He fought to halt the transfer of military
technology, first to the Soviets, then later to the Chinese. He spoke up for
Communism's victims when they might otherwise have been forgotten. He warned
early of the danger of Middle Eastern terrorism.
left government service in 1987. He went into business as a consultant and
adviser. He was successful in his work and made some money — but nothing like
the gigantic fortunes earned by his onetime colleagues, former secretary of
defense Frank Carlucci and former secretary of state James Baker, to name just
two. Though he had joined the private sector, his deepest concerns still lay
with the public; he continued to care much more about national security than
about publicly traded securities. In July 2001, he was asked by Secretary
Rumsfeld to chair the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board — and though the work is
unpaid and hugely time-consuming, Perle gladly accepted.
have to understand all of this background to appreciate the full and horrifying
injustice of the conflict-of-interest charges hurled at Richard Perle over the
past few weeks.
each of those charges there is of course a specific reply. Seymour Hersh, for
instance, charged in The New Yorker that Perle had met with two Saudi
businessmen late last year with an eye to obtaining an investment in a company
he was starting. In fact, Perle and the two Saudis all agree that the only
subject discussed at the lunch was a Saudi plan to encourage Saddam Hussein to
go into exile to avoid war.
there is a larger point that needs to be made — and it emerges from the basic
truth of who Richard Perle is and what he has done. The New York Times
followed the Seymour Hersh allegations with two stories of its own. Both
involved companies that had hired Perle to help them satisfy the government's
security concerns.
one case, a bankrupt telecom company called Global Crossing asked Perle to
devise safeguards that would enable it to sell a chunk of itself to a Hong Kong
investor without falling foul of technology-transfer rules. In the other, the
satellite maker Loral — which had already been caught making such transfers to
China — hired Perle to help it propose an appropriate penalty for its misdeeds.
the Global Crossing matter, Perle proposed a battery of safeguards — including
the creation of a separate subsidiary with a board of directors entirely made
up of U.S. citizens. In the Loral case, Perle helped persuade the company to
pay the largest fine in the history of technology-transfer investigations: $20
both cases, Perle was acting — not as the companies' representative in
Washington — but really as Washington's representative to the companies. He
was not offering them an escape from the rules. He showed Global Crossing how
to live within the rules; and Loral, how to atone for the rules it had
has now resigned as chairman of the Defense Policy Board, although he will
continue as a member. Perle explained that he feared that a controversy over
his chairmanship would distract the board and the Pentagon from their work at a
time of national emergency. I understand why he did it. But I resent the need
for the resignation all the same. At exactly the moment when they will need
them most, Americans have been deprived of Perle's full services. That's unfair
to Perle — and it is worse for the rest of us.

LAST NOVEMBER, members
of an association dealing on
wood in the country appealed
to the federal government to ban
exportation of wood and wood
products. They were afraid that
exportation of wood and related
products gravely undermines
revenue generation for the
country as well as denied the
teeming population employment
That prayer has been answered.
Early in the week, the
Comptroller General of Customs,
Hammed Ali, directed all area
commands to ensure strict
enforcement of the suspension
on the export of all wood
products including processed,
semi-processed and unprocessed
wood, in compliance with the
notice of suspension from the
Federal Ministry of Environment.
"I am directed by the
Comptroller General of Customs
to convey the immediate
suspension of export of all woods
and wood products until further
notice," the directive signed by
the Deputy Comptroller General
Tariff & Trade, Iya Umar, on
behalf of the Comptroller General
to area commands stated.
The development may not
be unrelated to the low level of
compliance of the wood exporters
to export only processed wood.
Friday Magazine recalls that in
By Patrick Andrew February, the Tin-Can Command of
the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS
had authorized exportation of only
semi-treated and fully processed
wood products. The command had
then attributed the suspension to
non-compliance with directives on
exportation of wood products.
The Customs Area Comptroller of
the Tin-Can Island Command, Mr.
Yusuf Bashar, who disclosed this
during a meeting with stakeholders,
had to sensitize the trading public
particularly exporters on the need
to ensure that only exportable wood
products are brought in to the port
adding that anything short of what
the law permits will be confiscated.
Bashar also said that the
command had to bring in officials of
the Federal Environment Protection
Agency, FEPA, to assist the Customs
in explaining and showing to
exporters the difference between
treated and untreated wood
According to him, the exports do
not attract any duty adding that
in the light of falling oil price, the
government is trying to encourage
Nigerians to export as much as
they can with a view to earn more
foreign exchange.
"It is an incentive to encourage
export because it is assumed that
money will come to government
based on exportable products from
Nigeria most especially now that
Nigeria is having issue with crude
"Price per barrel is going down, it
is our major foreign exchange earner
so Nigerians must be encouraged to
export as much lawful products as
"At a point, we asked ourselves
how we can encourage exports
from our end, we thought that the
best way to do that was to sensitize
the people and tell what exports are
allowed by law.
"We took wood products as
the first item amongst exportable
products because it attracts a lot
of attention. The need for the
campaign became imperative due
to the seeming confusion emanating
from the export of wood products.
"So we met exporters of wood
products, freight forwarders of
wood exporters, our own Customs
personnel and any interested
members of the public and let them
know the categories of wood that
are lawfully exportable" he said.
It seems the freedom to export
some semi-processed wood and
wood products did not yield the
desired revenue and therefore was
actually counter-productive.
However, on Monday, a directive
issued by the Office of the
Comptroller General of the Customs
suspended all forms of exportation
of wood products.
"I am directed by the Comptroller
General of Customs to convey the
immediate suspension of export
of all woods and wood products
until further notice," the directive
signed for the Comptroller General
Area Command by the Deputy
Comptroller General Tariff & Trade,
Iya Umar, stated.
The latest position simple reechos
the directive of the Area
Controller, Apapa Area command,
Comptroller, Egbudin, who
had bewailed the upsurge of
unprocessed wood exportation
during a sensitization workshop for
exporters in the command.
That area command had in the
past four weeks warned that any
who fails to follow the guidelines for
wood exports, will have their goods
seized pointing out that so far, the
command had made seizures of
25 containers of the unprocessed
woods in the last four weeks.
But there is respite for those that
had exported their products before
the current directive. They will
be allowed to clear their goods as
part of effort to clear the backlog
of consignments which were
affected by the Central Bank of
Nigeria, CBN, forex restriction on
41 items.
Speaking on the suspension of
exportation of wood products,
Emeka Ikechi, who deals on
wood products in Abuja, said
the directive is a welcome
development because it will
reduce scarcity of wood and
wood products in the country.
"I think the ban on exportation
of wood products is a good one.
The ban will make it possible
for us to have enough wood
products instead of exporting the
few that we have thereby creating
unnecessary scarcity.
"A good number of
unemployed youths will have
opportunities to be gainfully
engaged because those trained in
carpentry, upholstery and other
wood related professions will
have enough materials to work
"Nigerians who have undue
hunger for foreign wood
materials will be compelled to
appreciate our products which
are often of high standard and
that will mean more money in
our pockets.
"With the development, undue
high cost of wood for building,
wood products for furniture and
wood related items should reduce
and eventually stabilise," he said
stressing that strict enforcement
of the suspension would go a
long way to boost the economy.
Adekoya Oluwole shares the
view stressing that unless other
agencies of government support
the directive and ensure that
processed and semi processed
woods are not exported, the
policy will achieve very little.
"There should be open
communication between
the agencies to enforce strict
compliance with the directive.
If the compliance level is high,
there is the likelihood that
exporters of wood products
will adapt and abide by the
Following the suspension,
the customs management
has asked importers who had
imported their goods before
the CBN policy to forward
their names to the headquarters
through their area commands.
Comptroller Egbudin said the
intervention of Customs was to
allow CBN approve the Form
'M' of the affected importers
to that they can be issued with
PAAR and subsequently take
delivery of their goods.
He said Customs could not
track the names of the affected
importers on its system because
some of them had not made a
"There are some consignments
that had come to the port before
the policy was initiated, so we
have been directed to collect the
names of all the importers and
their products and send it to the
headquarters to see how they
can help them so that they can
be issued with PAAR and take
delivery of their goods."
He added that some of
the importers had got their
consignment before the CBN
policy, but they cannot clear
them because CBN has refused
to approve their Form 'M'. The
goods have been in the port and
they cannot even clear them.

Big Pharma's Xmas Shopping SpreeDecember 31st, 2008 | Sources: TJOLS
Subjects: Biotech, Pharmaceuticals
With cash burning holes in their pockets, withering prospects in their pipelines and Merck and Bristol Meyers Squibb recently having dipped into the BioTech trough, people expected more pharmaceutical companies to make moves in this space before long.
Sure enough, GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer got BioTech deals done before the close of Q4.
GSK struck first, inking a global alliance with Dynavax to develop and commercialize toll-like receptor inhibitors for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
TLRs are immune system receptors that activate inflammatory processes.
Terms of the deal call for GSK to give Dynavax $10 million up front in return for rights of first refusal on programs focusing on rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and lupus.
Dynavax carries out early R & D for these programs and can receive up to $200 million per program by hitting development milestones.
If GSK exercises its RFR to license the outputs of each program, it then assumes responsibility for ongoing development and commercialization. Dynavax would receive royalties on sales.
Pfizer bellied up to the bar too, signing a European marketing deal with Auxilium Pharmaceuticals for XIAFLEX , a first-of-its-kind, late-stage biologic used to treat Dupuytren's contractures and Peyronie's disease.
Auxillium gets $75 million upfront and can achieve $410 million more by hitting milestones, the first third of which are regulatory in nature, while the remaining are tied to sales.
The arms-length relationship in both cases is similar to the deal BMS cut with Exelixis a few weeks ago. More deals structured like them are sure to follow, as Big Pharma seeks arrangements that mitigate risk during the economic crisis.

When a worker is injured on the job and files a workers' compensation claim, they have multiple options. In some workers' comp cases, an employee negotiates with their employer and their employer's insurance to cover the cost of medical bills and a percentage of any wages lost. However, many workers' comp cases end in a settlement or lump sum payment, especially those involving more serious
workplace injuries. When it comes to workers' comp settlements, there are two possibilities: a stipulated finding and award, and a compromise and release.
Stipulated Finding and Award
When a judge makes decision about a case, that decision is known as a "finding and award." In workers' comp situations, a stipulated finding and award is a settlement that is voluntarily agreed upon by both parties rather than decided by a judge. A doctor determines the level of injury or disability, which in turn provides the information necessary to determine the amount of the settlement. The benefit of a stipulated finding is that it could be reopened in the future should the employee require further medical treatment as a result of his or her injury.
Compromise and Release
This kind of settlement provides you with a lump sum versus payments over time and closes the case entirely. Though amount of the lump sum is usually more than the amount you would have received through disability payments, but that is only because the difference is intended to cover any future medical expenses. However, any additional care must then be covered by you or your health insurance since a compromise and release settlement cannot be reopened. If you would rather cover future medical care through your own insurance, then a compromise and release may be the choice for you.
Before making any decision regarding a workers' comp settlement, it is very important to speak with a Walnut Creek workers' comp lawyer. Attorney Jonathan Brand has over two decades of legal experience and could use his extensive knowledge and understanding of workers' comp law to help you determine which choice is best for you. He could also inform you in case a
personal injury claim or
crossover case would be more beneficial for your situation. Get more information about all of these options by calling today!
