Police say nursing home resident killed 2 with arm of wheelchair
Antonio Acosta had been scared of Guillermo Correa, his roommate at a northwest Houston nursing home, since soon after they met.
The 77-year-old man pleaded with his daughter - as recently as Tuesday - to get Correa out of the room at Lexington Place Nursing & Rehabilitation the two shared with two others. Correa frequently made aggressive threats, bullied his roommates and appeared mentally unstable, Acosta's family members said.
"Mi hija, is there any way we can please move this person out of the room," Irma Chavez said her father asked her Tuesday.
That night, her father and another roommate were dead - killed, police said, when Correa beat them with a wheelchair armrest.
Acosta and 51-year-old Primitivo Lopez were slain. Correa, 56, who is charged with capital murder, had argued with the two before attacking them, police said. Nursing home employees told police that Correa and the two did not get along.
Officials from Lexington Place declined repeated requests for comment. Officials from Pinnacle Health Facilities XV LP, which owns Lexington Place, said in a statement that they are cooperating with police in the investigation and could not comment on the incident.
State officials, meanwhile, have begun investigating the facility. Cecilia Cavuto, spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, said the agency will check whether the facility was adequately staffed, in compliance with state and federal regulations, and had appropriate training and procedures in place to protect residents, among other criteria.
According to Cavuto, federal and state regulation states that a nursing facility "must protect all residents from all possible abuse from any person."
The agency evaluated the facility in February and recorded 17 deficiencies of federal standards and 21 violations of state standards. Deficiencies ranged from not giving residents proper treatment to prevent new bedsores or heal existing bedsores to failing to properly store and label drugs.
Last year, the agency recorded seven substantiated complaints - those that inspectors found valid - against Lexington Place. The average across the state was one, according to the agency's website.
This year, the agency has recorded two such complaints against Lexington Place.
Depending on the results of the agency's investigation into the deaths, the 200-bed facility could be fined, closed or lose its Medicaid and Medicare certification, Cavuto said.
"We might go into a nursing home to investigate an abuse allegation and find they were out of compliance with several regulations," she said. "And we could go in and find out a facility was in compliance with everything, and yet something bad still happened."
Chavez said that she had complained at least twice to nursing home staff about Correa, but nothing was done.
Chavez said staffers told her, "Well, if you don't like it you're welcome to take him somewhere else."
On Tuesday she tried to encourage her father, a bespectacled professional mariachi player who had performed at Pico's Mex-Mex until retiring.
"Wait just a little longer," she said, reminding him that after the two years he had spent recuperating from a stroke, he would soon be able to return home.
"He told me that 'If they keep me here with this man, the only way I'm going to leave is feet first,' " she said Wednesday.
Police arrived at the facility at 1737 North Loop near Ella about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and found Acosta and Lopez dead. Officers said Correa attacked the two with the armrest from the wheelchair he used.
On Wednesday morning, family members said they were still trying to understand what had happened and grieving the bizarre slayings.
Alberto Lopez, one of Primitivo Lopez's brothers, and his sister, Magdalena Perez, said the 51-year-old man had been in long-term care homes for many years. One of 13 children, Lopez had suffered from epilepsy from an early age, requiring care in long-term care facilities, and drugs he'd received exacerbated the condition, giving him symptoms similar to Parkinson's, said Perez.
They visited Primitivo Lopez, who had lived at the nursing home for more than six years, frequently and on holidays.
"He was tranquil, calm," said Agustin Lopez, Primitivo Lopez's 60-year-old brother. "He never had problems with anyone."
Chronicle reporter Dale Lezon contributed.

Welcome to the 2014 weather market.
As of April 20, USDA estimates 6% of the U.S. corn crop is planted, which compares to a five-year average 14% by this time. Unfortunately, the weather forecast doesn't look favorable for planting conditions in the coming week.
Severe thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes are a possibility from April 26-29 across a broad area stretching from the central and southern Plains into parts of the Midwest, Mid-South, and Southeast, according to USDA's agricultural weather highlights.
Storm-total rainfall could reach 2 to 4 inches in much of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio Valleys. In the storm's wake, unusually cold air may result in multiple freezes in the northern Corn Belt and across the nation's mid-section and the central High Plains.
The National Weather Service 6- to 10-day outlook for April 30 – May 4 calls for below-normal temperatures across the eastern two-thirds of the nation, while warmer-than-normal weather will prevail in the West. Meanwhile, below-normal rainfall across most of the western and central U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions along the Atlantic Seaboard and from the Ohio Valley into the Northeast.
"We are getting delayed now when we should have extremely good progress in planting," says Jerry Gulke, president of The Gulke Group. "We are now being delayed in the Midwest where we plant 25% to 35% a week without a problem."
Hear Gulke's full audio analysis:
Yet, the markets don't appear to be too nervous. After last year's late start and high yields, Gulke says, the market isn't convinced farmers won't hit the replay button for this year. "There is a sense of complacency in the market, which is probably good," he says. "The market is telling us, at $5, they aren't real worried about corn acres and believe the corn will get planted eventually."
Gulke says there's the old adage that the farmer likes to plant corn. "When he gets on that planter and the sun is shining, he may plant more corn than he thought he was going to plant," he says. "I don't think that's the case this year," he says. "Last year high crop insurance guarantees. I don't think you're going to get the guys in northern Minnesota and the Dakotas to plant corn late when they already have bins full of last year's late-planted grain."
Another factor to keep corn acres in check is strong November soybean prices. "Even though the market may not believe it, we won't turn back to the corn acres like we have before," he says. "We will keep this market nervous through May and see if we can catch up in our planting."
Gulke says this weather market and strong global demand is really making for interesting markets. "We probably have about 30 days to make some major marketing decisions," he says.

AIDS 2010 Opinions: U.S. Funding for Global HIV/AIDS Programs; Empowering Women, Girls In Fight Against HIV/AIDS
Global Health Leaders Respond To Recent New York Times' Opinion Pieces
Two global health leaders respond to AIDS-related opinion pieces in the New York Times letters section.
The first letter, Ambassador Eric Goosby, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, addresses an opinion piece by Desmond Tutu, archbishop emeritus of Cape Town and honorary chairman of the Global AIDS Alliance. Goosby writes, "The United States has been and continues to be the global leader on HIV/AIDS. The best metric of our success is lives saved." Goosby cites an increased number of people on antiretrovirals financed by the United States and a commitment to treat 4 million more as part of the Global Health Initiative.
In a second letter, responding to a New York Times editorial about global AIDS funding, Adrienne Germain, president of the International Women's Health Coalition, writes: "[M]ore resources are needed for programs to empower girls and women, here and in other countries." She cites an increase in the number of women living with HIV globally and writes that women can be empowered by building self-esteem, educating young people that "violence and sexual coercion are unacceptable," and providing access to health services (7/23).
President Obama Should Listen To Tutu On U.S. AIDS Commitment
Former U.S. President George W. Bush was "rightfully celebrated for his commitment to fighting the global AIDS epidemic" while President Barack Obama's budget increase of $366 million this year "doesn't come close to the $1 billion a year the current president promised to add as a candidate," writes journalist Sean Kennedy in a CNN.com commentary. Kennedy notes that "people around the world are starting to notice the discrepancy," citing Tutu's recent opinion piece.
The commentary also discusses Obama's domestic AIDS strategy, which "isn't much better," according to the author. "Obama should listen to his fellow Nobel laureate Tutu. ... After all, he wants posterity to judge him more favorably than Bush, right?" Kennedy concludes (7/23).This is part of the KHN Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations. Sign up for an email subscription.

Tiger Stadium Raucous in Win Over No. 3 Carolina
Director of Digital Media
BATON ROUGE -- Facing third-ranked South Carolina with a decimated offensive line and coming off its first regular-season loss in 18 games, No. 9 LSU bullied the Gamecocks to the tune of 406 yards, had four sacks and added two interceptions to regain its footing in the race for a championship, 23-21.
With 92,734 mostly gold-clad LSU fans screaming like there was no tomorrow, Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium came alive once again to give the Tigers a 22nd-straight win at home and new life in the Southeastern Conference.
"That was Death Valley. That was the place where opponents' dreams come to die. It started early and it ended late," Les Miles said. "I recognize the great advantage that the team has in this stadium."
Miles earned an 81st victory in his 100th game as LSU's head coach, as the Tigers improved to 6-1 overall and 2-1 in SEC play.
Next week, LSU travels to Texas A&M's Kyle Field for the first time since 1995. Kickoff for the Oct. 20 game will be announced on Sunday.
Running back Jeremy Hill led the way for LSU, as the freshman broke off a 50-yard touchdown run with 5:03 left that proved the game winner.
Hill ran 17 times for 124 yards and two touchdowns. LSU outran South Carolina, 258-34, while Gamecocks running back Marcus Lattimore was held to 35 yards on 13 carries.
LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger finished 12-of-25 passing for 148 yards. He was sacked once and his lone interception was returned 70 yards to the LSU 1, leading to South Carolina's first touchdown on the first play of the second quarter.
However, it was Mettenberger's decision making and clutch play that helped LSU convert 11-of-19 third downs one week after struggling to stay on the field at Florida. After holding the ball for fewer than 22 minutes in the 14-6 loss in Gainesville last week, the Tigers offense turned the tables this week. LSU held a 36:57-23:03 advantage in time of possession.
"We only have two guys starting that started the first game with La'el [Collins] and P.J. [Lonergan]," Mettenberger said. "I thought the old man at left tackle [sixth-year senior Josh Dworaczyk] had a hell of a game, he was on [Jadeveon] Clowney all night. The two young guys, Vadal [Alexander] and Trai [Turner] played lights out. I think they're going to be a good combo in the future on the right side for sure."
Running back Spencer Ware added 55 yards on 15 carries for LSU, while Michael Ford ran seven times for 41 yards and Kenny Hilliard had 10 touches for 33 net yards. Jarvis Landry was LSU's leading receiver with 55 yards on four catches.
Defensively, Lamin Barrow had a career-best 12 tackles while Kevin Minter added nine. LSU had seven tackles behind the line of scrimmage including the four sacks. Sam Montgomery earned two of the sacks, while Barkevious Mingo and Josh Downs had one each. Eric Reid and Craig Loston each had interceptions.
South Carolina suffered its first loss of the season, falling to 6-1 overall and 4-1 in the SEC. The Gamecocks next travel to Gainesville for a matchup against Florida.
"Tonight I realized why LSU was preseason No. 1," South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said. "They're a big, strong team. They can run the ball and stop the run. That was the biggest difference in the game probably. I don't know how many rushing yards they had, but I know we didn't have many at all. I give those guys credit."
Gamecocks quarterback Connor Shaw was 19-of-34 passing for 177 yards with two short touchdown passes. He was pressured throughout the game, suffering 30 yards of sack yardage while being hurried six more times.
The Gamecocks managed only 3-of-13 on third down.
South Carolina won the toss and elected to receive. LSU kicked off defending the south endzone, and quickly forced a three-and-out when Barrow and Minter stuffed Lattimore behind the line.
After a 40-yard punt that went out of bounds, Mettenberger completed 4-of-5 passes for 42 yards to help LSU advance to the South Carolina 11. Ware picked up a first down to the 3 with a carry from under center, but after timeouts preceding third and fourth down, LSU freshman offensive tackle Vadal Alexander was flagged for false start, and Drew Alleman was called upon for his first of three field goals.
The 16-play drive tied LSU's longest of the season, and LSU led 3-0 with 7:47 remaining in the first quarter.
South Carolina overcame a sack by Montgomery to gain a first down on a short pass to its tight end, but two runs by Shaw netted 2 yards and South Carolina punted again.
The 31-yard effort left LSU in great field position at its 42, where Mettenberger completed a 21-yard screen pass to Hill on third-and-10.
Two plays later from the USC 34, Mettenberger made his biggest mistake of the half when he made a quick drop, looked for Kadron Boone on a slant but instead was picked off by Jimmy Legree at the South Carolina 29. Legree returned 70 yards to the LSU 1 to setup the Gamecock's only score of the half.
On the first play of the second quarter, Shaw rolled right and found Ace Sanders just inside the endzone for a 2-yard touchdown.
Despite being outgained, 97-25, South Carolina converted on the 1-yard drive and went ahead 7-3.
After a kickoff out-of-bounds by South Carolina, LSU looked to answer immediately, as Copeland gained nine yards for a first down to midfield. A completion of 12 yards to Beckham Jr. and runs of 13 and 7 by Ford put LSU in the redzone at the 17. After Hill picked up the first down with a 3-yard run to the 15, Landry ran a perfect slant-and-go to the left corner of the endzone but he was overthrown by Mettenberger. Alleman's 32-yard field goal attempt just slipped outside the left upright and LSU left with no points.
Each team entered the other's territory in the final nine minutes of the half, but each came up short of field goal range and punted.
With the exception of the interception return to the 1, LSU dominated the first half of play. The Tigers outgained the Gamecocks, 179-69, held the ball for 17:25 of 30 minutes, and converted 7-of-10 third downs. However, two of the three third downs missed were in the redzone, as LSU missed out on points with a short field goal missed and a false start penalty on fourth down at the USC 1.
South Carolina kicked off to start the second half, and Ford returned from his endzone to the 31. On third-and-4, Mettenberger connected with Landry coming across the field for 16 yards to the Gamecocks 47 to give LSU its eight third-down conversion of the evening. A 17-yard run by Hilliard gave the Tigers another first down and a 9-yard run by Hill setup his 7-yard touchdown run with 11:13 remaining in the third quarter.
LSU's first touchdown in 29 drives against an SEC opponent put the Tigers ahead 10-7.
The Tigers looked to keep momentum in the game with its defense, as Mingo ran down Shaw on third-and-8 to force another punt, however, a couple of overthrown passes by Mettenberger on the ensuing drive led to another punt.
Though it was Brad Wing's best effort of the night -- 56 yards to the South Carolina 11 -- Ace Sanders returned it 61 yards to the LSU 28. However, a personal foul on the Gamecocks cost them 26 yards. Starting on his 46, Shaw used the option to gain a first down with 17 yards to the LSU 37. Another option pitch to Lattimore for six yards led to a 29-yard throw-back to tight end Justice Cunningham to the LSU 2. Two plays later, Reid missed a tackle in the backfield and Lattimore scored to put South Carolina ahead 14-10 with 5:11 remaining in the third quarter.
Consecutive punts gave the Tigers possession on its 22 where they began another 16-play drive that lasted 7:57. Hill and Ware took turns pounding the Gamecocks line, as Ware gained three third-down conversions on the drive. On second-and-12, Mettenberger connected with Landry for 19 yards on a slant to the South Carolina 20. Ware's final third down run gave the Tigers first-and-goal at the 9, but a third-down pass to tight end Nick Jacobs was sailed out of the endzone. LSU decided to take the field goal and cut the deficit to 14-13 with 10:17 remaining in the game.
LSU's defense again capitalized on its offense's success, putting Shaw in a third-and-6 situation. The quarterback rolled out of the pocket and overthrew Sanders into the waiting hands of Reid. Reid returned 29 yards to the South Carolina 22.
Ware gained a first down with 11 yards on the first play, but Hill came up short after consecutive runs to the 5. Alleman connected from 22 yards to give LSU the lead, 16-14, with 6:37 left to play.
Two LSU sacks had Shaw reeling and South Carolina punting once again. Though Beckham Jr. was tackled as he caught the punt, Hill came through with the biggest play of the night on the next play from scrimmage. Hill broke through the line and ran past two defenders in the secondary for a 50-yard touchdown that was a back-breaker for the Gamecocks.
LSU led 23-14 with 5:03 to play.
South Carolina took advantage of a personal foul in LSU territory and earned a 1-yard touchdown pass with 1:41 remaining.
Beckham Jr. was unable to field a ground ball of an onside kick, but it quickly went out of bounds and LSU took over. The Tigers ran the clock down to 35 seconds and South Carolina's final play was an interception by LSU safety Craig Loston.
Opening Statement...
"First of all, hats off to a very game performance by South Carolina. I felt that they played their hearts out. It was a very competitive game. They are a talented team. Our football team, coming off of the Florida game, just could not bear to do anything but win. They performed well and practiced hard all week. It took a team (effort), it really did. We rushed for some yards. We finally got some possession time, and we finally were pretty good on third downs. The defense went out there, stopped and stymied, a very good South Carolina offense. Special teams did what they needed to do. I liked how Jeremy Hill played. I really thought that he had a big night. I enjoyed the two freshmen on the offensive line (Vadal Alexander and Trai Turner) playing in their first significant season. Eric Reid's interception in the back end is just what we needed. Yahoo!"
On Tiger Stadium...
"Let me tell you. That was Death Valley. That was the place where opponent's dreams come to die. It was spectacular. It started early, and it went late. It was with us the whole night. It was spectacular. I recognize the advantage that this team had in this stadium."
On the play of the offensive line and the offense...
"I thought that Stud (offensive coordinator Greg Studrawa) did a great job of getting them going. Josh Dworaczyk goes in there and gives us exactly what we needed at the left tackle. He is a veteran and understood what he needed to do. He did not overcommit in his moves, and I felt that he did a great job. When we rush the football and control the clock, (we) get our snaps and keep the defense off of the field. We're a whole different team, that is what happened tonight."
On the team's improvements...
"First of all, third downs. We were consistent on third down, and we rushed the football. We would get four or five yards and come back and do it again. I thought that Zach (Mettenberger) was good, minus one throw. When we play like that, we are pretty good."
On the type of game...
"It really was a street fight on both sides. I'd like to distance myself from the opponent a bit more."
On tonight's game ...
"I think we executed a lot better. That showed on the scoreboard and in the yards we put out. Really, that's what we should have been doing all year because we knew we could do it. From here on out, we just got to show up Monday with the same mentality and attitude we had this past week and just keep looking to get better."
On calling a team meeting last night ...
"Yeah, there was a meeting. A couple of other team leaders and myself called a meeting. Just to kind of make sure the team had the right mentality and make sure they were ready for the game tonight."
On offensive line ...
"You look at it, we only have two guys starting that started the first game with La'el [Collins] and P.J. [Lonergan]. I thought the old man at left tackle [Josh Dworaczyk] had a hell of a game, he was on [Jadeveon] Clowney all night. The two young guys, Vadal [Alexander] and Trai [Turner] played lights out. I think they're going to be a good combo in the future on the right side for sure."
RB Jeremy Hill
On whether the effort has been there all year ...
"I think the effort was there. You watch the film, and guys are playing hard. It was just one guy would mess up a play. We just kind of put it all together tonight."
On being patient behind other running backs ...
"I think that's something the coaches preach. They do a good job of keeping everyone patient. This team has a lot of depth. They recruit well every year. Once you come here, you know you're going to have to wait your turn to play. Once you get that opportunity, you've got to take advantage of it and run with it."
On success on the ground ...
"I think we kind of wore those guys down. They got tired as the game went on so we just kept running down hill, just hitting them hard, and eventually we were going to break one. That's kind of what I did"
LB Lamin Barrow
On playing as a team ...
"We feel like whenever we are on the field we love each other, have each other's back and are a brotherhood. It just works for us."
On containing Marcus Lattimore ...
"Chief preached to us all week to keep him bottled up. He is a great runner, but if you stop him and you hit him early, he hampers down. We just tried to stop his feet. He made some good plays here and there, but as a defense we rallied to him and shut him down."
On the home crowd ...
"It was beautiful. Congrats to the fans. This is the best game we have had all season. The fans kept us alive and kept us motivated. Running out from the tunnel for the first time was beautiful. It was a great feeling."
On tonight's game ...
"It was one of those things where I just wanted to get back to the basics. It seemed like the right time coming out with South Carolina coming in No. 3, my mom was at the game for the first time this season and there were so many things to play for. It was great just to play the game."
On working with the offense ...
"Even though our offense scored some points and them being out there for long drives gave us time to rest, it didn't matter if they scored or not. We had their backs till the very end."
On his end of the game sack ...
"The quarterback tried to break down very gently, but then I sacked him. From that moment on, the game-winning sack is just like a punch in the face at the end of the night. It was one of those things that got me very excited. Even though it was loud in the stadium, it was quiet in my world."
Opening statement ...
"Tonight I realized why LSU was preseason No. 1. They're a big, strong team. They can run the ball and stop the run. That was the biggest difference in the game probably. I don't know how many rushing yards they had, but I know we didn't have many at all. I give those guys credit. We weren't really sharp offensively. However, I guess we managed two tests then, perhaps in some nature. It wasn't a good offensive game. They deserved to beat us, there's no question about that. I give those guys credit."
On QB Connor Shaw ...
"I don't know if he got hit in the head tonight or not. I kept passing the GA (Graduate Assistant) and asking, 'Did he get hit in the head somewhere?' Some of his decision-making was a little off. In the first half, we had a guy running a deep run on our sideline, and he threw it to the other sideline. It was pretty irritating when he had a chance to hang one in the end zone, and he threw it to the other side. He just got confused. Anyway, I guess sometimes that happens. Connor (Shaw) has played beautifully all year. He had some good plays tonight, but he wasn't as sharp as he's been in the past. Hopefully, he can get back to it."
On LSU ...
"They were running much better than we thought they would. We didn't run it here as well as we hoped we would. That was probably the huge difference in the game right there. I was hoping their little field goals might not add up. I guess it came down to the long run when they made that last touchdown. It ended up being the difference-maker. We've played some good defenses, but they're really good. They were really good tonight. They weren't that good against Florida. They haven't been very good, but they were good tonight. That's football. Sometimes the team gets a little bit more fire and energy, and they have it. They had it tonight; there's no question about it. They beat us. They ran it; we couldn't run it. That was probably the huge difference in the game. We were ready to play, we have no excuses. We have no excuses whatsoever. They outplayed us and outhit us."
QB Connor Shaw
On the interception to Eric Reid...
"Yeah, I was off balance. I should have flipped my hips and set my feet. I just kind of rushed the throw, and it got away from me."
On how the lack of a running attack affected the offense...
"Yeah, I think it stunned us for the first half. We couldn't really establish it early on, and that's usually what we've been doing this season. I thought we left a lot of points on the board today."
On the physicality of the LSU defense...
"They came out very physical, I don't know how strong we came out. But like I said, we had chances. We just left them on the board."
RB Marcus Lattimore
On why South Carolina wasn't able to establish a running game...
"You know, just a good D-line. One of the best D-line's we've seen, just (one of the) best defenses we've seen, probably ever. We've just got to keep working. I think we could have got it going if we did some different things. We've just got to keep working, and we'll be alright."
On the strengths of the LSU defensive front...
"They do a good job of using their hands, all of them. Of course their two defensive ends, they're great players, but the two defensive tackles are the ones that make the D-line go. Just a great D-line, probably the best we've seen."
On still controlling their own destiny in the SEC...
"Definitely, and that's what we talked about. All of our goals are still there, and we can accomplish them."
DE Jadeveon Clowney
On tonight's game...
"Our front seven didn't come to play. We gave up too many yards and too many third down conversions. We can't win like that."
On South Carolina's defensive effort...
"Some guys came out to play, but some guys didn't. It may have been because of injuries. It may be because they were scared. We will address that in practice. We can't come out against Florida like that."
Defensive Coordinator Lorenzo Ward
On South Carolina's run defense...
"It's not just on the defensive line. We have 11 guys on defense. We missed quite a few tackles today. (LSU) plays physical football. We knew that coming in. We thought we were capable of stopping it. We definitely know we have to go back to the drawing board.
On LSU's passing attack...
"We knew (LSU) would take one or two shots downfield. We knew going in were going to try to shut down the short passes. But our ultimate goal is to stop the run, and we didn't do that."
On South Carolina's red zone defense...
"We try to make sure we raise our level when we get in the red zone. We were in there too many times. I thought we did well when we were down there."

The very first milestone in your moving saga is choosing a trustworthy moving company – you will save a lot of money, time and nerves if you manage to find and hire reliable movers. Proper equipment, considerable experience, and straightforward approach are what you should be looking for when choosing the best moving services for you.
Looking For a Moving Company in Floral Bluff, Florida out there claim to rank among the best – they offer such a high-quality work and professional attitude that your satisfaction and the trouble-free move is 100% guaranteed and you would never regret spending the money to hire them.
Unfortunately, not all the furniture movers can carry out a smooth relocation – some of the companies just lack the required know-how: the rich experience, the proper equipment or the right approach. Despite their honest intentions, they may commit rookie mistakes or just perform the job in a manner that does not meet your requirements and will not satisfy you.
Worst of all, moving fraud is also on the rise – bad movers prowling for careless customers and taking advantage of their gullibility, ruining the reputation of trustworthy professionals and causing all sorts of troubles and conflicts. So, you need to know what to consider when hiring movers and how to interview a moving company in order to ensure your peace of mind and the well-being of your belongings.
Looking For The Best Moving Company in Floral Bluff, Florida
First, when Looking For Movers in Duval County, Florida checking their reputation is crucial. A great reputation saves you time and money. And, a great reputation equals great rates. Asking key questions not only uncovers a wealth of knowledge about the company and helps prepare you for moving day, but a little extra research can save you from a huge hassle in the long run.
Don't rely on an estimate that comes from someone who hasn't looked in every one of your closets. Don't assume that big-name companies are best. Do not get estimates through websites that offer to "find you a mover." Find the mover yourself and avoid the numerous scams associated with some of these sites.

If your employer is paying for the move you can take it easy and watch the Moving Company in 32211 do nearly all of the work. If you're financing the move yourself, you might opt to do your own packing to save money.
Looking For Moving Services in Floral Bluff
Cut down on boxes by making all of your baskets, laundry bins, hampers, and suitcases work for you. Vacuum seal your out-of-season clothing. Not only will they take up less space and be a breeze to pack, but they can go directly into storage in the new home. Along with food and alcohol, give your friends who help you move first dibs on anything you originally planned to sell or donate.
Write everything down. When you're moving, getting organized with boxes is an important step. Should you spend some money and buy sturdy boxes, or is recycling old ones the way to go? Is bigger better? Sure a big box will hold more, but is the box strong enough to hold more, and will it then be too unwieldy to carry? And how many will I need?
Purchase moving tape, shrink wrap, bubble wrap, mattress covers, TV covers, and any additional boxes you need. Packing paper that is the same material as the newspaper but without the ink. While packing, be sure to color code boxes to determine which room the box is for. Pack electronics in their original boxes.
Things You Have to Know when you pack & Move in Floral Bluff, Florida
Keep clothes on their hangers and wrap trash bags around them. When you get to your new home, just hang up the clothes and remove the bags. Pack plates vertically like records so they are less likely to break. Put Styrofoam plates in between them to add cushion. Vacuum seal towels, blankets, sheets, and clothes so they take up less space. Wrap silverware trays up in saran wrap.
If moving big appliances such as a stove or refrigerator, be sure to clean them out and defrost the refrigerator. If renting, take pictures of your old home and new home when they are both empty so you can prove what state the home was in before and after moving. Spot clean walls and baseboards with a magic eraser. Empty gas and oil out of your lawn mower and weed eater. Fill nail holes with a bar of soap
Shrink wrap furniture pieces that have drawers or cabinets that will open during the move. It's also helpful to shrink wrap couches and tables so they don't get dirty or scratched. It can be done with your washer and dryer, and the vegetable crisper in the refrigerator. Don't move them with the rest of your household goods. If you can't take them with you in the car, then send them on ahead with a secure courier company.

The Love Laws
Every culture wrestles with that most basic of human networks: the family. Our ties to family members are permanent and powerful, shaping our characters, our actions, and the opportunities we have to succeed, love, hate, struggle, and create our own identity.
In The God of Small Things, Arundhati Roy's contemporary Indian novel, twin siblings Rahel and Estha experience full immersion in their large, diverse, unique, and typical family. Grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, cousins and siblings all play a role in shaping the world of the twins, for better and for worse. Each family member's life is affected by politics, history, and culture clash, and while each person takes a different path through it all, each of their choices influences the family at large.
Simon Gikandi
Professor of English, Princeton University:
"Mahatma Gandhi himself went out of his way to get people to transgress caste laws. They're not laws written in the books. They are laws about social behavior. Who can you touch? Who can you give money to? Who can you invite into your house? And most importantly who can you love?"

Acura TSX Lease Questions
chuckjr Los Angeles Posts: 95Thanks carman. The downfall is there aren't any 2013s locally in LA. I even looked in Arizona but the 2012 inventory is still high.
FWIW locally in LA I was quoted $307 plus tax w $1000 drive off. The numbers for a tech were horrible at $417 plus tax w $1000 drive off. These were for wagons.0
cpz1 Posts: 5Can you please tell me the residual value and the money factor for February, for 2013 Acura Special edition auto 15K, 36 months, NY ?0
You're welcome chuckjr. Interesting that there's so many 2012s still out there. Most models are well into the 2013s. In fact, there's even some 2014 models out already :surprise: .

Here's the information that you're looking for cpz1. Acura's February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 TSX Special Edition with 15,000 miles per year are .00011 and 57% for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.

Hey carman! I'm looking to turn in my 2010 TSX a few months early and get the new TSX with Tech. Any information to help me negotiate would be appreciated! Manufacturer incentives? Dealer incentives? current lease money factor? residual value?
My first quote for 10k/year was $0 down, $430/month for 36 months. From MSRP 34505 with 19,667 left after the 36 months. They also quoted $1,972 in fees I haven't seen broken down yet, but agreed to pay about $1,050 between the 2 months left in my previous lease and the first month of this proposed lease. That left me with $1,541 in fees due at signing.
That puts the total cost to own at around $35,250
Thanks for any help!0
Hi gflan33. Unless Acura is running some sort of official early lease termination program that I am not aware of or your car is worth significantly more than its lease-ed purchase option price, you probably would be better off waiting until the scheduled end of your lease to get something new.
Through March 4th, Acura's buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 TSX 4-cylinder Tech with 10,000 miles per year are .00011 and 57% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
Acura is scheduled to introduce its new March programs on the 5th. Please feel free to post a reminder for me in this discussion and I'll be happy to provide you with an update.
Acura is not providing any cash incentives that I am aware of on the '13 TSX right now, but that may change.

Can you provide the details for 2013 TSX with tech? Thanks!0
With $2,500 total out of pocket, 10k a year, on a 2013 Acura TSX Tech, the payments will be $338 tax included. Is it a good deal? Thanks!0
Thanks for the info! If you get a chance, could you explain how it would be significantly better to wait until the end of the lease? It seems to me that if we know the lease is coming up to end with such a low buy-out price we could work with that information now instead of waiting a couple months for the lease to end.0
Here you go chanshiv. Acura's March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 TSX 4-cylinder with Tech and 15,000 miles per year are .00046 and 54% for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum0
Hi gflan33. The problem with trying to get out of a lease early is that unless the bank that you are leasing through is running some sort of official early termination program, there is a very good chance that you will be on the hook for all of your remaining payments on your current lease. Banks usually don't just let consumers out of their lease contracts several months early for free.
Having said that, if your current TSX is worth significantly more than its end-of-term purchase option price then there's a chance that you could get out of it early for free. Usually this proves to be the exception to the rule.

sergeym Posts: 273Almost.
Need to know what is the sales tax in your area?
I also would not suggest putting any money down, all fees and taxes should go into the monthly payment.
With the above in mind you are paying about $407 per month for 10K miles per year. I would like to see $390-$395 per month for 10K miles per year with all fees included in the monthly payment.0
Hello carman!
I've been reading thru this thread and it has been very helpful, but this is my first post. I'd like to lease a 2013 TSX sport wagon, base model (no tech package). My initial offer for a 10,000 mile a year 36 month llease was $393 / month with no money down, no first month payment (35 month lease technically) and $219 due at signing for registration, title, docs, etc. This includes taxes on the monthly payment, which are 9% in the state of PA.
I was able to negotiate this down to $381/ month with all else remaining the same. The residual is 61% and cap cost would be under 32,000.
Does $381 / month for 35 months including taxes with $219 due at signing and no other money down seem like a good deal? It didn't seem like the dealer was willing to go any lower without me putting money into the deal which I'm not willing to do. They also said this would be an invoice deal for them, but I'm not sure that they are going the whole way down to invoice....I thought that was closer to $31,000. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome toonice430. You definitely find out this car's exact selling price. You can then compare it to the dealer invoice price that is listed here at Edmunds.com, in the New Vehicle Pricing section of the site. I personally wouldn't pay more than a couple hundred dollars over the invoice price that is listed here. Let me know what thus number is when you find it out and I'll be happy to tell you what I think.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum0
Thanks for your reply. The starting cap cost was $32,264 with their first offer was $393/month, no money down.
They said that they could knock around $388 off the car, but they did not show me the new cap cost in writing. Blamed it on a bad printer. I am going to ask that he confirms the cost to me, but by my calculations it would make the cap cost of the lease approximately $31,875. This is still about $1,000 over invoice price for the car listed on edmunds.
I'm going to continue to negotiate, there should be more room, even though they said this was the best they could do. I will post my results.0
The salesman got back to me with the below. Does this seem like a good deal for a 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon / no tech package. Does the deal invoice of $30,863 include the acquisition fee? Please see below:
The deal we are offering you is a capitalized cost of $31,700, including the acquisition fee. That results in your payments being $380 (including tax) a month with only tag and title fees due at signing ($219.05). We are $563 under the advertised Capitalized Cost. You will also notice that it says dealer contribution may vary. This is to promote the idea of paying more than the advertised lease. We have not only matched the skinny deal advertised, but we have superseded it. I can assure you that you are being offered a great deal. A $32,755 Acura for $380 a month with NO money into it. Plus we are making your first month's payment.
The total discount from us is $1,650 + first month payment $380 for a total discount of $2,030.0

Can you supply the residual and money factor on a 2013 Special Edition TSX for a 3 year, 10,000 mile lease as well as a 3 year 12,000 mile lease? Thanks!0
You're welcome toonice430. $1,000 over invoice still seems a little much to me for a TSX. If you're in an area that has a decent level of competition I would shoot for $500 or so over.

Hello zack82. Acura's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 TSX Special Edition with 12,000 miles per year are .00046 and 59% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The residual value for a lease with 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

jpolo2 Posts: 2I received an offer of $399 per month for 36 on a 2013 TSX Tech with $500 at due at signing including first months payment. 12k miles per year. Does this sound like a fair deal?0

The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are .00046 and 60%.
Acura is currently providing a $500 cash incentive on this car. Make sure to take it into account during your negotiations.

tifighter WAPosts: 2,397Car Man-
I can only imagine how long your 'My Watched Items' list must be.
I humbly request MF and residual for the TSX wagon w/Tech for 24 and 36 mos if possible. Thanks for the help.
Tesla X Performance / Tesla 3 Performance / https://ts.la/joshua158260
can you help with an offer evaluation for a 2013 TSX Base lease and let me know if this is a good deal:
Initial Cap: 28.5k
Acquisition: $600
Delivery & Handling: $470
$30 title
Cap reduction $625
Total Capitalized Cost 28,900
Resid: $18,843
Pmt: 302 before tax
1st payment upfront included in $1k upfront costs
MF is spot on with the forum at .00046 as is resid @ 60%. Dealer is telling me this offer is $1500 under their invoice of $30k (28,719+895 dest+400 advertising) and they cannot come any lower. I'd like to see them come down another $500. Comparatively, BMW and Volvo have some stellar leases out there (S60 & 320i) which meet/beat this deal's pricing, but are a brand improvement and neutral feature trade==>shouldn't Acura be more competitive than a luxury brand?0
HA tifighter. I watch everything .
Acura's May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 TSX Wagon with Tech and 15,000 miles per year are .00046 and 62% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

When negotiating your deal, make sure to take advantage of the $500 cash incentive that is available on this model.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum0
Hi bzwerlin. The dealer invoice price of a base 2013 TSX Sedan is $29,614. If we subtract the $1,000 cash incentive that is currently available on leases of this car from that it drops to $28,614. This deal looks like it's a couple hundred dollars over invoice, not $1,500 under, but it's still a good deal.
I don't think that a Volvo necessarily should command a premium over an Acura, but a BMW certainly should. I would rather have a 3-Series than a TSX.

Car_man- I totally agree with that statement, but only if add the phrase "as long as it (BMW) is under warranty!"2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT0
robtroxel Posts: 103I agree. The three series is a totally different experience and a good one as long as you are under warranty! The TSX is a fine car but more Honda in experience which is not a bad thing for reliability etc. I think the TSX is a little "long in the tooth"0
Thanks igozoomzoom and Car_Man. An extra set of eyes always helps. Drove the 320i base last weekend and I must say it drives fantastic. not sure we will go that road as ultimately we would flip to a finance and I don't want long term repairs on a bimmer to be sure. But it is great pressure on Acura in addition to your feedback on the pricing overall. I appreciate the feedback and insight of this community. Thanks all, will keep you posted.0
BTW, last I read there was only a $500 incentive on the TSX. When did they roll out the $1k incentive on leases? is that posted anywhere?0

Mustang MonthlyHow To Tech Qa
Resto Roundup, September 2013 - Restoration Questions
Letter Stickers
I own a Dearborn-built '69 Mach 1 with the 351W and four-speed. Is there a factory correct placement of inspection and paint code letters? The kit I purchased included two Fs plus one smaller F, one B and a smaller B, one P plus a smaller P, one T and a smaller T, a small E, and a "Use genuine FoMoCo replacement parts" decal. Where should I place these decals? I'm afraid I might put them in the wrong place and get points deducted.
Bob Fogleman
Via the Internet
The FoMoCo replacement parts decal is not used. The letter P is often placed in the left-hand door jam. The F, B, and T stickers are placed rather randomly on the cowl area (see the photo from a low-mileage, Dearborn-built '69 Mach 1). The letter E is placed by the left-hand shock tower.
Down to the Details
I am looking for a reference for the screw that attaches the L-bracket from the battery to the battery apron on my '70 Mach 1 with the 428 Cobra Jet. Also, should the bracket be black or natural?
Bill Sokolowski
Via the Internet
The correct screw is Ford part number 55876-S36, the same screw used to attach the voltage regulator and starter relay to the inner fender panel.
The typical finish for the L-bracket is semi-gloss black. In my opinion, the reproductions were phosphated, leading to confusion about the original finish. Rarely will you see an original bracket because they were usually tossed, along with the heat shield, when the battery was replaced for the first time.
Boss Engine Paint
I am restoring a '71 Boss 351 and preparing to paint the engine in the near future. My question is about the inspection plate. Is it bare metal or painted blue. Also, should the intake have blue overspray?
Don Baker
Via the Internet
The inspection plate is painted blue on the Boss 351 engines. However, the bolts are natural; they were installed after the plate was painted. The area near the starter was masked off to keep paint off the plate so the starter would ground (see photo).
The intake manifold should have a slight blue overspray on the edges.
Yellow or Black Adhesive?
I am in the process of reassembly on a '69 Mach 1. I understand that Ford used yellow weatherstrip adhesive for the door and trunk lid seals. But it appears that the roof rail weatherstrips on my car were attached with black adhesive rather than yellow. Have you seen this before? Should I use black or yellow adhesive on my roof rail weatherstrips?
Dean Crutchfield
Via the Internet
I agree with your assessment that black adhesive was used on roof rail weatherstrips for '69 and '70 Mustangs. I would take a photo of the original weatherstrips for reference. My recommendation is to use black adhesive for the roof rail weatherstrips but stick (no pun intended) with yellow for the door and trunk lid because that was typical production.
Let us hear from you. Send your restoration questions to: Resto Roundup, c/o Bob Perkins, Perkins Restoration, North 2123 Hwy. 16 & 26, Juneau, WI 53039. Send email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Robert Redford has been less active in recent years (as a movie star, anyway), but "An Unfinished Life" is a reminder that his talent is only getting stronger, that his acting life is indeed not yet finished.
Here he plays a gruff and solitary Wyoming rancher named Einar Gilkyson, whose body and pickup truck are both beginning to suffer from age. With his frequent muttering and cowboy-style swearing, Einar is a Clint Eastwood kind of role for Redford; he's even got Eastwood's old buddy Morgan Freeman on staff, as Einar's ranch hand and best friend Mitch.
Einar sold off most of his cows years ago and now lives quietly and simply on the homestead. This existence is disrupted by the arrival of his dead son's wife Jean (Jennifer Lopez), whom he has not seen since the funeral 12 years ago and whom he blames for the car-accident death of his beloved son. He did not know that Jean was pregnant at the time of her husband's death; the fruit of that circumstance, Einar's granddaughter, is named Griff (Becca Gardner) and she's 11, and she's just as surprised to learn of Einar's existence as he is of hers.
Jean and Griff have fled Jean's most recent abusive boyfriend (Damian Lewis), and if the bruise on Jean's cheek does nothing to detract from J-Lo's airbrushed glamour, at least the situation is slightly more realistic than it was the last time she played an abused woman (I'm referring to "Enough," not her relationship with Puff Daddy). Her dirtbag boyfriend is bound by Hollywood's laws of abusive men to follow her to Wyoming, but thankfully the film does not dwell excessively on that little melodrama.
The thrust of the story is driven by emotions, not plots, and primarily on the rift between Einar and Jean: him senselessly blaming her for something she couldn't control, her having low enough self-esteem to think she deserves it. There is some unfortunate speechifying and platitude-making -- Griff yelling at Jean for choosing such rotten men; Jean yelling at Einar for blaming her for his son's death; Mitch yelling at Einar (well, the Morgan Freeman version of yelling) for refusing to forgive anyone. But I suppose when you put this many wounded characters together in a room, they're bound to lash out at each other.
The conscience of the film, of course, is Mitch. Rare is the film in which Morgan Freeman appears that he is not the conscience. Mitch was mauled by a bear a year ago, and the right half of his body shows the horrible scars. Every morning Einar injects him with morphine to help with the pain, helps him shave, helps him get dressed. Their decades-old friendship is so tender (beneath the standard cootiness of old age) that young Griff assumes they're gay. They're not -- the gay cowboy movie is called "Brokeback Mountain" -- but Mitch is the sort of saintly character who inspires such devotion.
What's more, he's forgiven the bear. The bear was just following its natural instincts; it had no malice toward Mitch. And if Mitch can forgive the beast that deformed him, why can't everyone else in the movie forgive the people who have hurt them?
The screenplay, by Mark Spragg and Virginia Korus Spragg, indulges in such obvious parallelism, yes, but it sure makes you feel good. As Einar warms to his granddaughter and eventually to his daughter-in-law, and as Jean (somewhat less clearly) comes to believe she is worthy of a good man (the local sheriff, specifically, played by Josh Lucas), Lasse Hallstrom's straightforward direction brings the story to the cockles of one's heart, which it promptly warms.
It is not revelatory material, but it's played well -- not so much by Lopez, who is the same as always, nor by newcomer Gardner, who is your typical young actress, but by Freeman and Redford. Freeman has done this character before, several times, but Redford is in somewhat uncharted territory as a man who has spiraled since his son's death yet who is not one-dimensionally mean or angry. Einar has a friendliness to him and a quick sense of humor, the sort of man everyone in town likes, even if he's somewhat less accessible these last few years.
When Mitch asks Einar if he'll bury him up near his son, Einar waits a beat and replies, "Shouldn't you die first?" Personally, I'm not comfortable with the idea of Freeman or Redford dying. "An Unfinished Life" demonstrates that both actors are still in their prime, rising above even ordinary material.
There is an alternate French track, while subtitles are available in English and Spanish.
VIDEO: The widescreen (2.35:1) anamorphic picture has been transferred well enough, with no scratches or blemishes (as is to be expected from a brand-new film). The colors are a little muted -- the wide open skies of Wyoming (or Canada standing in for Wyoming) should be brighter and more vivid, I think -- but it's OK.
AUDIO: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround. Deborah Lurie's score sounds particularly sweet.
EXTRAS: The audio commentary features director Lasse Hallstrom, producer Leslie Holleran and editor Andrew Mondshein. (Nothing against editors, but, um, the editor? Not the writers? Or the cinematographer? I'm guessing the fact that Mondshein is Holleran's husband was probably a factor....)
Anyway, what do you want to know? It's typical. Hallstrom loved working with Freeman and Redford and Lopez, and the whole thing was just soooo super, and blah blah blah. Holleran and Mondshein (who I'm not certain were in the same room as Hallstrom for the recording, though they were with each other) are a little more useful, giving background on the locations and sets and pointing out the film's obvious parallels and symbolism.
They also address the problem of casting J-Lo in the film when she was so over-exposed in the news. To make her more likable, they had her dub in some "honeys" and "dears" in her dialogue, and removed some of "her more strident" lines altogether. Strangely, I still don't like her.
There are two featurettes. "The Making of 'An Unfinished Life'" (8:53) is your basic "making of" story, with cast members sitting around the set talking about how awesome everybody else is.
"Training Bart the Bear" (10:02) is more interesting, particularly if you're an animal lover. It's full of on-set footage of Bart wrestling with his trainers and acting like a giant puppy. Adorable! Until he eats someone. (Just kidding.)
Finally, there is a still gallery with several dozen production photos. Josh Lucas does not appear in any of them, nor is he in either of the featurettes, yet he's the fourth-billed actor. Weird.
Shot in 2003, "An Unfinished Life" sat around before Miramax finally dumped it just before its split with Disney. It's not Oscar-caliber material -- which is what Miramax had been hoping for, and why they were disappointed with it -- but it's certainly not bad, either. It's certainly worth a rental.
(Note: Most of the "movie review" portion of this article comes from the review I wrote when the movie was released theatrically. I have re-watched the film in the course of reviewing the DVD, however.)

MONTREAL -- A rough start to the season got a bit smoother for Lars Eller and David Desharnais on Saturday.
Eller had a goal and two assists and Desharnais scored a pair to lead the Montreal Canadiens to a 6-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres.
"We've been struggling a bit the last couple of games so I think it was relief for Davey, too, to see the puck go in twice," said Eller of his and Desharnais' first goals of the season, just 28 seconds apart in the second period. "It's a great feeling to score and a great feeling to win."

|More NHL coverage
After suiting up for the Canadiens' season opener, Eller was a healthy scratch the next two games. He returned to the lineup last Sunday, inserted on the wing with Desharnais and Erik Cole, with Max Pacioretty sidelined following an appendectomy a day earlier.
Desharnais, meanwhile, had struggled to find his breakout form from a season ago, a campaign that saw him pile up 60 points in 81 games.
"I've got to be better, I want to be better," he said. "There's nobody else that's going to feel sorry for me so I've just got to be better and I was tonight. I just want to keep going."
Rene Bourque's pair and a goal from rookie Brendan Gallagher completed the scoring for Montreal (5-2-0), which is averaging 4.4 goals in its five wins.
Carey Price made 30 saves for the Canadiens for his fifth win of the season.
The game marked the season debut for Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban, who signed a new contract Monday after sitting out the team's first four games while negotiations went on.
"When you're playing your first game and the team has a great start it's sort of a relief," said Subban, who picked up his first point with an assist on Desharnais' second goal. "I'm just happy with the win here today."
Subban admitted he didn't "feel too great" in his return, recognizing his timing was off. Canadiens coach Michel Therrien planned to ease the blue-liner into the lineup after his long layoff, dressing seven on the back end.
Subban finished the game with 18:01 of ice time, fourth among Montreal's defensemen.
"It's important for us to manage his return and his ice time. Unfortunately there aren't a lot practices available like the others had," Therrien said. "We felt the best way to get him back in was to dress seven defensemen.
"He did very well in his first game."
After a big win in a wild game against the Boston Bruins on Thursday, the Sabres (3-4-1) lost for the fifth time in their last six games. Goaltender Ryan Miller made 17 saves over two periods before being replaced in the third by backup Jhonas Enroth.
"We didn't have our `A' game right off the bat. We started in the second but it was too late," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "It's a collective effort. You can't point fingers at anybody."
Bourque injected some life into what had been an uneventful first period with Montreal's 10th power-play goal of the season. Andrei Markov's stretch pass -- tipped along the way by Tomas Plekanec -- found Brian Gionta along the right boards. Gionta waited before passing it on to Bourque, who drove to the net for his second of the season.
Montreal took a 2-0 lead for the fifth time in its seven games early in the second. Gallagher and fellow rookie Alex Galchenyuk completed a nifty 2-on-1 that Gallagher capped with his third of the season as the puck went in off Sabres defenseman Christian Ehrhoff at 2:03.
Desharnais finally got his first at 10:08. Just seconds after Sabres forward Tyler Ennis hit the crossbar, the diminutive Canadiens center took a pass from Eller in the high slot and fired a shot past Miller.
Eller added to Buffalo's misery with his first goal of the season just 28 seconds later.
Plekanec set up Bourque's second goal of the game at 1:22 of the third. The Czech center showed patience on a 2-on-1, waiting out Buffalo defenseman Mike Weber's attempt to block the pass before easily placing it on Bourque's stick.
Thomas Vanek broke Price's shutout bid with a short-handed goal at 3:01.
Desharnais picked up his second of the season on the power play at 12:43.
- D Yannick Weber and F Ryan White were scratches for the Canadiens, who went with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
- Therrien acknowledged "there's a chance" that Pacioretty, who practiced with his teammates on Friday, could be back in the lineup on Sunday.
- Buffalo's one shot in the first was its fewest in a regulation period since Oct. 7, 2011, against Anaheim when the Sabres had none in the third.
- Montreal last allowed one shot in a period Oct. 13, 2011, against Calgary.

The death of Aaliyah Boyer, a 10-year-old struck down in Cecil County, and the shooting of Laurie Eberhardt, a grandmother hit by gunfire in Florida, share the same perplexing challenge for prosecutors and investigators.
Both were watching fireworks on New Year's Eve when they were hit by apparent celebratory gunfire. And both face long odds of having their shooters brought to justice because of the anonymity of the crime and weak laws against firing guns indiscriminately into the air.
If authorities ever find the person who fired the shot that hit Aaliyah, the county's top prosecutor said, a misdemeanor charge might be the most he or she could face.
Cecil County sheriff's investigators have interviewed people they know fired in celebration moments after the new year arrived. There is no law against doing so in the area outside Elkton where the girl was hit, and police are still looking for the shooter.
Aaliyah was standing in her grandparents' yard near Elkton watching neighbors light fireworks when a bullet pierced the top of her head, sheriff's officials said. She died two days later in a Delaware hospital.
Eberhardt, who watched fireworks from a yacht club balcony in Tampa Bay, was hit in the right wrist by a large-caliber bullet about the same time as Aaliyah. Eberhardt said she cried when she learned through news reports of the 10-year-old's death. She felt compelled to speak out against celebratory gunfire, though she's not sure what can be done to stop it.
"I'm still processing it because I'm so shocked that it happened," said Eberhardt, 67, who lives in St. Petersburg. "I can't even get my head around that I was hit by a bullet in the sky. I'm learning every day this is a serious problem."
The shooter in her case has not been identified, and police and prosecutors in Florida struggle with limitations similar to those faced by Maryland authorities in such cases.
There's little national data about the problem. Organizations against celebratory gunfire use anecdotal evidence gathered each year from news reports in their campaigns. A study of stray-bullet shootings released this summer by a University of California professor who reviewed 284 incidents nationwide between March 2008 and February 2009 found that celebratory gunfire related to holidays accounted for less than 5 percent of stray-bullet shootings.
But experts say people fire into the air much more often than those falling bullets hit people. On New Year's Eve 1999, for example, Baltimore police launched a large operation that arrested 100 people caught randomly firing weapons.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Maryland State Police crime lab are helping analyze possible trajectories, as well as the bullet that Aaliyah's family said was recovered from her body. Investigators have told family members it could have come from two miles away.
"We're still out there investigating everything," Cecil County Sheriff's Lt. Michael Holmes said. "We believe there are more people out there who need to be identified. Right now, we're just looking for anybody who has knowledge of weapons being fired outside a house or someone who may have been at a party where a weapon was fired."
Even if a shooter is identified, which is rare in celebratory gunfire cases, lawyers say it is difficult to convict the person of a serious crime.
"It all depends on what the facts of the investigation showed," said Cecil County State's Attorney Edward D.E. Rollins III. "It does not sound to me like a situation where this was an intentional act. When I say 'intentional,' that the person fired this gun in the area with the intent of harming this young lady."
Without a suspect, the history of the shooter and gun, and the location from which it was fired, Rollins cannot determine exactly what charges could apply. But from what is known, he said, murder charges probably would not apply. He said reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of five years, might be prosecutable.
Criminal law punishes people based on their intent, said Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger, so it can be hard to charge someone who shoots without aiming at anyone.
Glenn Ivey, a Washington lawyer who served as Prince George's County state's attorney for eight years, said charges of second-degree murder or involuntary manslaughter are possible, depending on a shooter's intentions and how many people were around when he pulled the trigger.
"But if it's Cecil County and you shoot a gun in the air on your 10-acre farm," he said, "that's different than shooting off a gun in, say, Ravens stadium."
Reckless endangerment has an easier standard to prove, said George Capowich, a criminal justice professor at Loyola University in New Orleans.
In metropolitan areas, many governments, including in Baltimore and Baltimore County, have passed local laws that prohibit the "unlawful discharge" of guns — or shooting for almost any reason. Exceptions include self-defense, licensed target ranges, and some military and hunting occasions.
A simple gun discharge violation in Baltimore County is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of $1,000; in the city, a conviction can bring a jail term of up to one year.
"The likelihood of anyone getting a stiff sentence is pretty small, but it's still a tool police could use if they catch anyone," Capowich said.
Some cities have stricter laws that apply to celebratory gunfire. Houston authorities can sentence shooters to up to a year in jail — and as much as 10 years in cases of "deadly conduct." Oakland laws call for a term of one to three years for celebratory gunfire.
Sandy Duran, mother of 13-year-old Diego Duran, who survived a bullet that went through his brain and lodged behind his cheekbone on New Year's Day 2012 near Tampa, said investigators have told her that a suspect, if ever found, would face no more than a charge of culpable negligence.
"It's a first-degree misdemeanor," said Sandy Duran, founder of the advocacy group Bullet Free Sky. "I believe it should be a felony. It's taken so lightly unless it kills someone. But what are the chances of finding the person who shot that bullet?"
That's why she believes more steps need to be taken to curb holiday gunfire, including public-awareness campaigns, better gun-safety courses and more eyes and ears on the streets.
Enforcement has varied in Baltimore after the 1999 initiative that netted 100 arrests. City police reported no unlawful discharge arrests between Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 of this year, though police made about 20 gun arrests and confiscations.
"Celebratory gunfire had been an issue for cities for some time, especially here," Baltimore police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. "And we have been focused on a fight against illegal guns, and we believe we've sent a message."
But on July 4, 2011, a bullet pierced the hip of a 4-year-old Middle River boy walking with his father near Pratt and Light streets just after the Inner Harbor fireworks show. The boy recovered; no one was arrested.
Henry Louis Adams, a Georgia minister and founder of Citizens Against Celebratory Gunfire and Senseless Gun Violence, said it would be easier to make arrests if more law enforcement agencies used acoustic detection systems that can triangulate and pinpoint gunshots.
SpotShooter, one of those systems, has been proven effective in many places, including Washington, Atlantic City, Los Angeles County, Charleston, S.C., Oakland and East Palo Alto, Calif.
"Bring this technology in," said Adams, who lives in the DeKalb County community where a falling bullet killed Marquel Peters, 4, on New Year's Day 2010 inside a church. "I don't care if it's a penny tax on everyone or whatever it is, this is a quality of life issue."
In 2008, the Johns Hopkins University installed the donated SECURES Gunshot Detection System that included 93 detector boxes on streetlights and other places in the Homewood and Charles Village communities. A university spokeswoman said the system hasn't been operational for several years because the installation company went out of business.
Baltimore police tested the system with Hopkins and considered other detection programs. But cost was among the reasons the city passed on one.
In a "perfect world," Guglielmi said, police would want a system that integrated a sound detection system with the city's CitiWatch camera system.
In unincorporated Cecil County, Cheri Blackburn doubts better investigative tools or stronger laws could have prevented what happened to her step-granddaughter, Aaliyah, outside Blackburn's home south of Elkton, a small town that has an unlawful-discharge law.
"I know a lot of people will use this as a pro-gun, anti-gun thing," she said. "There are already gun laws in place, but you can't legislate stupidity."
Preventing celebratory gunfire starts with responsible ownership and personal accountability, she said.
She acknowledged that her family is torn between members who believe Cecil County investigators are doing everything to solve the case and others upset that they haven't arrested people who they know fired guns on New Year's Eve — even if their bullets didn't hit Aaliyah.
"Finding out who did this is more important than going on a witch hunt and arresting everyone firing a weapon," Blackburn said.
Holmes, the Cecil County sheriff's lieutenant, said charges against people known to have fired guns early Jan. 1 will be discussed with the state's attorney's office but detectives remain focused on finding the gun that killed Aaliyah.
"I don't think the police should have to hunt the person down," Blackburn said. "I think the person who did this should have enough guilt and remorse to come forward."
How a falling bullet can kill:
•A bullet travels at a velocity of up to 3,000 feet per second and can go thousands of feet into the air. Slowed by gravity and air resistance, it eventually falls.
•As it hurtles toward the ground, a bullet reaches a "terminal velocity" of up to 500 mph; some can go 600 feet per second.
•A projectile moving at a velocity of 148 to 197 feet per second can puncture human skin; at less than 200 feet per second, it can break bones — even the skull.

'Act of Valor' Soundtrack – Album Review
The 'Act of Valor' soundtrack is a collection of 10 moody songs that ultimately get one excited about the movie, which opens up nationwide on Friday (Feb. 24). Although one can only assume it's going to be the saddest movie ever.
Homogenized production makes this album a queer listen from front to back. It seems that each artist -- including Sugarland, Lady Antebellum and Montgomery Gentry -- didn't get full creative control of their cut, but there are more than a few brilliant vocal performance to overcome the presence of drum tracks and absence of traditional country instruments.
Keith Urban's 'For You' sets the tone and is especially powerful. Later on, Trace Adkins delivers on 'If the Sun Comes Up.' "If the sun comes up without me tomorrow / You'll be fine / Just let it shine on you," he sings in a voice that's deep, even by Adkins' standards.
Hunter Hayes ('Where We Left Off'), Wynonna ('Whatever Brings You Back') and Jake Owen also deliver solid performances. In fact, 'The Best I Can' may be Owen's best vocal performance of his career... until the end when the repetition chips away at the song's sobriety. Really, all 10 artists bury themselves beneath the weight of the project and emerge with emotion and vulnerability.
One's opinion of the movie should ultimately decide if the 'Act of Valor' soundtrack is worth purchasing, however. On its own it's little more than a depressing collection of songs by really talented country artists. However, each song will no doubt take on new meaning after watching scenes of US Navy SEALS on the big screen.

I am trying to make these cute booties. But i have
2 questions.
1. what size t-shirt. I bought a child's but it doesn't have enough length for 2 booties. So i bought an XL woman's t shirt. It would help to put a measuring tape next to the strips.
2. The blog says:- Cut the hem into 3 strips. Mine were about 2.5 - 3 inches long. Oh goodness, that's weird. I just pasted this phrase from your blog which says--Cut the hem into 3 steps about 25-3 inches long. This is confusing. So I copied it and pasted it here in my comment and the paste says 2.5 -3 inches--how funny.
Anyway, I am starting over and i hope it turns out just fine.

I meant, for the pasted sentence:
- Cut the hem into 3 strips. Mine were about 2.5 - 3 inches long.
Notice that it say 2.5-3; but in the blog it says 25-3.
That' s what I meant by confusing. My first post doesn't show the decimal= 2 . 5, I read it as 25-3 inches.
