Miranda-Pavlik Purse Bid March 12th
"The WBC would like to congratulate Edison Miranda for his victory this past Saturday in Puerto Rico.
The WBC is confirming March 12th as the date for the purse offer of the WBC final elimination bout between Kelly Pavlik and Edison Miranda.
The WBC has approved a voluntary defense of WBC middleweight champion Jermaine Taylor while this final elimination bout takes place to then proceed with his mandatory title defense."
Looks like the winner is going to be guaranteed next crack at Taylor after Mora...

I found Kelly Pavlik on myspace and his friends that commented on there were calling Miranda a "tune-up" fight. So I asked him about it.

Pavlik against Miranda is a toss up, agreeing that Pavlik looks to be the better boxer, miranda packs a punch and is more than ready tp throw those haymakers, the outcome of this fight to me will be is Miranda going to impose himself on pavlik or will pavlik make miranda pay for the wild punches, who ever that can solve or answer these questions will win the encounter

The backup generated .dbf, .log and .bac files. Now I want to restore the database from the above taken backup files. I do not want to use RMAN.
I have come to know that using following command I can restore the .dbf files into tablespace:
imp transport_tablespace=Y tablespace=(Ts Name)
file='location of dump file C:\user.dmp'
datafiles=('location of dbf file')
In above imp command, I do not understand which file to supply against "location of .dmp file" as my backup has not generated any .dmp file.
Can anyone please help?

This product is is terrible! Do not use this on your skin at all(well if you have sensitive skin but be careful even if you don't as well)! Yes,this product DOES get rid of ance but it comes with side effects too. I have been using this product for about 2 weeks and a week ago i found out my skin was WAY drying then normal(and my skin is NEVER dry) but i didn't think of anything bad so i continued to use this and and 3 or 4 days ago i found out my skin started to flake off! And tonight basically my WHOLE face is flaking out just because of this stupid product! Sorry but i hate it.The only reason i would ever use this again if i really needed my ance to go away......but still never again

As a person struggling with acne after my 20s, this was truly my life saver. I love how it treats acne and helps prevent them from forming as well. I use it in the morning and at night.

A great, basic acne cleanser with 2 % salicylic acid. I have used this morning and night and it effectively removes makeup without overdrying the skin. I just do not care for the fresh scent of this

Despite its name, this acne treatment does not foam well. It also doesn't seem to help control excess oil, and smells clinical/medicinal - just like the Blemish Clearing acne body wash. It does, however, treat and clear up acne, but does not make my skin dry and tight. I use this with the Blemish Clearing acne pads and the Blemish Clearing 2-in-1 treatment & hydrator. Used together, this really works!

ARKstorm Hitting PNW.....now...More To Come
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
PNW....This wx is typical during Turkey day week. We had many power outages onTurkey day from winds & lots of rain. What's different this year?
what's interesting about this storm is
a) the tropical aspect mixing with the cold front dropping out of the bering sea...hence a tornado warning FOR PORTLAND CITY last night. also tornado warnings in the sf bay area the night before.
b) this IS an ARKstorm, and it is what usgs and a ton of scientists have predicted as being far more destructive to cali/west coast than even a massive earthquake.
Extensive flooding results. In many cases flooding overwhelms the state's flood-protection system, which is typically designed to resist 100- to 200-year runoffs. The Central Valley experiences hypothetical flooding 300 miles long and 20 or more miles wide. Serious flooding also occurs in Orange County, Los Angeles County, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay area, and other coastal communities. Windspeeds in some places reach 125 miles per hour, hurricane-force winds. Across wider areas of the state, winds reach 60 miles per hour. Hundreds of landslides damage roads, highways, and homes. Property damage exceeds $300 billion, most from flooding. Demand surge (an increase in labor rates and other repair costs after major natural disasters) could increase property losses by 20 percent. Agricultural losses and other costs to repair lifelines, dewater (drain) flooded islands, and repair damage from landslides, brings the total direct property loss to nearly $400 billion, of which $20 to $30 billion would be recoverable through public and commercial insurance. Power, water, sewer, and other lifelines experience damage that takes weeks or months to restore. Flooding evacuation could involve 1.5 million residents in the inland region and delta counties. Business interruption costs reach $325 billion in addition to the $400 billion property repair costs, meaning that an ARkStorm could cost on the order of $725 billion, which is nearly 3 times the loss deemed to be realistic by the ShakeOut authors for a severe southern California earthquake, an event with roughly the same annual occurrence probability.

Atmospheric Rivers (AR) are relatively narrow regions in the atmosphere that are responsible for most of the horizontal transport of water vapor outside of the tropics. While ARs come in many shapes and sizes, those that contain the largest amounts of water vapor, the strongest winds, and stall over watersheds vulnerable to flooding, can create extreme rainfall and floods. These events can disrupt travel, induce mud slides, and cause catastrophic damage to life and property. However, not all ARs cause damage – most are weak, and simply provide beneficial rain or snow that is crucial to water supply.

Read Whole Story
It is hard to overstate the landslide victory for women last night. For too long, our health and rights have been used as a political battering ram.
Chicago's Grant Park was filled to the brim with half a million happy, cheering Americans from every socio-economic slice of America's multicultural society.
I look forward to working with the entire progressive community in the months to come as we turn our focus away from elections and toward governing so we can quickly get our nation back on track.
The election of Barack Obama, a resounding progressive voice, is a clear reflection of hip-hop politics, and a beautiful testament to the American collective consciousness that is flowering.
If the only time you can actually speak from your heart is when you have lost, then why are you running? What good are you doing anyone, including yourself?
Last night, while standing just a few feet from the podium from which our next pro-choice president spoke, I was overcome with pride and emotion.
With the country at an ideological watershed, Obama has a historic opportunity to reshape the ruling paradigm of American politics.
In dealing with the mortgage crisis it is critical to keep people in their houses. To do that we have to have ways to renegotiate their mortgages.
Elections aren't about intellect. They're about emotion. That's why people so often vote against their own interests.
The tears running down my face last night and this morning were of something so much more than happiness, so much more than simple relief. They were an exhalation.
Obama has truly brought all of us hope for a new tomorrow -- free from hate and fear. He is the catalyst for our hopes, wishes and dreams.
Of all the factors contributing to Obama's victory -- luck, economic crisis, Bush, Palin -- a major factor is now so second-nature to us that we may overlook its transformative impact since just four years ago: the Internet and the progressive online boom.
In the election returns, hidden in plain view, is license for President-elect Obama to fundamentally rethink U.S. policy toward Cuba and expand on his incremental approach.
We must understand one more thing -- how successful President Obama will be in transforming America in a progressive direction will depend on us, as well as on him.
I wrote to Barack several days later. Here's the letter. Looking back, it seems as if today was somehow written in America's destiny.
Our neighborhood has had many more Obama lawn signs than McCain, by a a ratio of almost 10:1. Today someone drove through this part of the town and stole all of the Obama signs.
Lebanese citizens interviewed on Lebanon's Future TV News channel were mostly for Obama, while Iraqis were waiting for the election's results to determine their country's fate, according to an FTV report.
As a member of the sixties generation, whose vision of America was shattered by the three assassinations of that time, it was bitter indeed to witness the devolution of the last eight years.
In the end Obama is not America`s first black president -- he is America`s first president who happens to be black. The difference is huge.
The Middle East is divided between disbelief and excitement as well as apathy. Many can't believe that America will indeed elect a black man with African roots and a Muslim father as president.
We are now finally waking up and realizing the damage that was done while we were in a asleep at the wheel. As evident in this election time, we are now a nation impassioned with possibility.
You know what, I'm shell shocked. I can't feel glad yet, that's a quirk of mine, it's hard for me to celebrate.
To be sure, the failing economy provided Democrats the context they needed. But a candidate with a little backbone gave them the ability to convince voters to take a chance on change.
The first order of business -- and one that cannot wait until inauguration -- must be halting the robbery-in-progress known as the "economic bailout."

Skip to comments.Poll: Americans would blame Republicans more than Obama for a government shutdown
Posted on 09/26/2011 6:56:51 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
After all the debt ceiling theatrics that dominated the summer — and the collective sigh of relief at their conclusion (even though the final deal was not a real solution!), it was easiest to forget the federal government was still running on stopgap measures and not an actual budget. Better to forget that than to immediately and wearily wind ourselves up for another heartbreaking round of championing salvific spending cuts only to eventually make painful political concessions that would ultimately shove all meaningful work onto a nebulous future Super Committee.
So, here we are again, facing a government shutdown. Is this emotion I'm experiencing in regard to it ennui? If it is, time to snap out of it — because a CNN poll shows a plurality of Americans would blame Republicans if the government did, indeed, shut down. That was true in March of this year, too, but Americans would blame GOPers by even greater margins now than they would have then. In March, 36 percent of those polled said they would blame the president and 46 percent said they would blame Republicans. Today, just 33 percent would blame Barack, while 47 percent would blame the GOP.
That would be fine if Republicans were to blame. But they're so patently not. To go back a bit, the government has had to resort to Continuing Resolutions in the first place primarily because Democrats last year failed to pass appropriations bills and because the Democrat-controlled Senate still refuses to pass a budget. But even the specifics of this particular case ought to cause onlookers to blame the Democrats. The House — true to the trend it set long ago — has already passed a measure to fund the government through Nov. 18, but the Senate refuses to pass the bill as is. The problem? The Senate objects to any kind of offsets for disaster relief funding.
More details from The Wall Street Journal:
The Senate initially wanted to allocate $7 billion for disaster relief next year, but ultimately Democrats agreed to the $3.65 billion figure set by House Republicans. Republicans want to offset that spending with a $1.5 billion cut in a program that provides loans for makers of high-efficiency cars and components, which Democrats say has created or protected about 40,000 jobs. Republicans also want to cut $100 million from a program that provided a loan guarantee for the solar-component company Solyndra LLC, which has since gone bankrupt and whose practices are under investigation.
In other words, Democrats would rather derail the government than cut funding to a couple of government programs, including the program that yielded the questionable loan to Solyndra.
The Senate right now is voting on an amendment offered by Harry Reid that would eliminate the offsets. If the amendment passes, the Senate will likely go on to pass a bill that would fund the government through Oct. 4, passing the buck back to the House. But as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has explained, to vote for the Reid amendment is to succumb to the argument that we must borrow more money just to be able to provide disaster relief.
"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Democrats are threatening to shut down government because they insist that disaster funds be borrowed, not offset," Sen. Paul said. "In other words, the Democrats are insisting we must increase our national debt by borrowing new funds or they will shut down the government."
"Only in the bizarre world that is Washington, could anyone insist that we borrow more money rather than do the responsible thing and find budgetary offsets for new spending," he continued.
Heritage Action has keyvoted the roll call on the Reid Amendment — and rightly. Its likely passage — and the likely Senate passage of another stopgap measure that won't be acceptable to the House — doesn't change that the threat of a shutdown could be averted once and for all if Democrats would just do what they are legally obligated to do and pass a budget.
Update: One last thing — the CNN poll doesn't even offer Americans the option of blaming Senate Democrats. That's a little misleading, don't you think?
Update (AP): Whew!
In a step back from the brink, Senate Democrats and Republicans have agreed on a continuing resolution that would include $2.5 billion in disaster aid funding and which would eliminate the chance of a government shutdown next week.
Even while Senate Republicans were filibustering a continuing resolution and disaster aid bill Monday, Senate aides in both parties said they had reached a deal on compromise legislation with reduced disaster aid funding. The chamber will invoke cloture on a new "clean CR" with about $2.5 billion in disaster aid funding, rather than the $3.65 billion in the latest continuing resolution that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., offered Friday. Senators will then immediately pass the bill. The bill also lasts through Nov. 18. The Senate is also expected to pass on Monday a continuing resolution lasting one week. The House is expected to approve the one-week continuing resolution by unanimous consent on Thursday. The House will then approve the longer CR next week.
The reason why shutdowns loom is because of disagreements over the budget and spending. Republicans want to cut it, while Democrats resist.
Well, I say, let's bring it on.
Either educate the American people as to Hussein's evil ways of enslaving generations of Americans to debt—or start printing money on every street corner and let the nation crumble.
Get a pair of BALLS, Republican leadership. You'll find them if you look hard enough.
If it's a CNN poll, then who took part in the poll???
CNN sends a shot over the Republicans' bow - "cooperate or we'll blame you." That might have been very effective five years ago. I suspect CNN may be surprised at how much their own partisanship has eroded that power.
I say the Poll is BS. Mostly libs, Dims, Rinos, dips, dweebs, press and foreigners surveyed.
I almost hope it works and the money DOES run out, as it inevitably will.
God forgive me, I'm actually looking forward to the well running dry for the leaches.
Let's shut 'er down and see what happens.
how many of those think it would be a bad thing?
I don't care. We are a nation held hostage to government shutdowns by the lying Democrats. Don't give in to the terrorists.
I would be glad to give the credit (not blame) to the Republican's.
If its pre-ordained that the blame will be on the Republicans, well then, PULL THE PIN!
In other "unexpected" News......Junkies blame law enforcement for lack of drugs
A shutdown probably would hurt reps more because it fits the "obstructionist" and "party of no" labels regurgitated by the dem talking heads.
>> If this really is the attitude of most Americans
I don't know? Is Boehner out there educating the good people?
Well that certainly explains the dem midterm wipeout and the loss of dem seats in Brooklyn and Nevada. I mean obviously the CNN pollees don't vote.
Fags & feebs, geeks & dweebs.
"....educate the American people as to Husseins evil ways...."
Too late for that.
Wow,, this must be why the Senate just caved! /
Most modern Americans are really A dumb bunch. They don't have an IQ high enough to warrant the further continuation of there freedom. They can't do math, They don't have common sense. They certainty can't pick honest, and moral people to rule their government. It is really quite hopeless, with the end result being only a matter of when it will all come crashing down, and not if.
Even here on FR their are so many people who have no clue what the "Honest" Capitalist Bankers and politicians have done to them. They have no idea what is going on right under their noses.
Americans don't pay attention. They don't research the facts. They just take whatever the government and the MSM, and whatever click they in are feeding them, and believe it is all true. When it all comes down they won't have a clue who is responsible or how it happened. But they will still be all ears when the crooks, and the socialists tell them what to do.
Unfortunately, due to their ignorance- Those that do understand are going to suffer the loss of all; right along with them.
Well, a gub'mint worker or dem would "blame" the Republicans, while a conservative would "praise" the Republicans.
The poll was of course skewed by it's wording.
I as a conservative would neither blame the dems nor the repubs. There is no blame to go around. Blame is for when something is wrong, and there is nothing wrong with shutting down the gub'mint when it is out of money.
I wonder what the result would be if they asked "Who should be praised more for the shut down of the wasteful government? The dems or the republicans?"
Hi Tina. Okay if I call you Tina? Good, thanks. Sort of an unusual name for a journalist. What is that? No! I would never think that "Tina" referred to the size of your brain.
No, my concern is for your memory. Just for the fun of it, how many times in 2011 has arrogant Dictator You Lie Obama run out of money? I know, I know, it was one of the Bushs' fault. No, I can't remember which one either. My how time flies!
Well, I can see that you don't remember so I'll tell you that the answer is two plus one more coming up real soon. Yeah, I saw where Sheriff of Nottingham Timmy Gee told You Lie that his pen was running out of red ink. Yep, that would be 3 debt ceiling destructions, and it is only September! I know! Obama is having the time of his life!
Okay Tina, let's see if you know who signs the checks for the Feds? Okay, while you are thinking about that, let me ask if stewardship, responsibility and accountability are words that are ever used anymore by you?
The call it "blame", I call it "credit".
Take that how you will :)
If thats how the American people feel then we won't be able to cut any serous spending ever. Too many people want goodies and nobody wants to pay for it.
Makes a man marvel at the wondrous simplify of natural economic where an individual is incapable of spending more then he or she has by virtue of not having. It takes the invention of goverment and with it the collective purse that lets a man so easily and carelessly obligate anther to pay his or her debts.
And so our children are made slaves to a state to a past and people they had no influence or control over. The very concept of justice must escape the Government which can impose debts upon folk not even born.
More and more I agree with Thomas Jefferson No generation has a right to incur anymore debt then they can pay in their life time. Federal Debt should be immediately redistributed to the States and from there to the individual tax payer/voter. Which is a nice practical way of saying there should be no Federal debt.
In any event I sure hope the silver state(Nevada) is enjoying the 30 pieces they were promised by Harry Reid. The rest of us are all paying for it!

The Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor is a planar dual-cell limit current sensor. The sensor element of the A/F sensor is the combination of a Nernst concentration cell (sensor cell) with an oxygen-pump cell, which transports ions. It has a heater in the element.
The sensor is capable of precise measurement λ= 1, but also in the lean and rich range. Together with its control electronics, the sensor outputs a clear, continuous signal throughout a wide λ range (0.7 < λ < air).
The exhaust gas components diffuse through the diffusion gap at the electrode of the oxygen pump and Nernst concentration cell, where they are brought to thermodynamic balance.
An electronic circuit controls the pump current through the oxygen-pump cell so that the composition of the exhaust gas in the diffusion gap remains constant at λ = 1. Therefore, the A/F sensor is able to indicate air/fuel ratio by this pumping of current. In addition, a heater is integrated in the sensor to ensure the required operating temperature of 700 - 800 C (1,292 - 1,472 F).

Murder of Adam Walsh
|Adam Walsh
Walsh c. 1981
November 14, 1974
Hollywood, Florida, U.S.
|July 27, 1981
(aged 6)
Near Abacoa, Florida, U.S.
|John Walsh and Revé Walsh (née Drew)[citation needed]
Adam John Walsh (November 14, 1974 – July 27, 1981) was an American boy who was abducted from a Sears department store at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida, on July 27, 1981. His decapitated head was found two weeks later in a drainage canal off of the Florida Turnpike. His death earned national publicity. His story was made into the 1983 television film Adam, seen by 38 million people in its original airing.[1] His father, John Walsh, became an advocate for victims of violent crimes and the host of the television program America's Most Wanted.[2]
Convicted serial killer Ottis Toole confessed to Adam's murder, but was never convicted for this specific crime due to loss of evidence and a recanted confession. Toole died in prison of liver failure on September 15, 1996.[3] Although no new evidence has come forth, on December 16, 2008, police announced that the Walsh case was now closed as they were satisfied that Toole was the murderer.
Case history[edit]
Kidnapping and murder[edit]
Revé, Adam's mother, took him shopping with her in a Hollywood, Florida, Sears department store on July 27, 1981. She said that she stopped to check out lamps a few aisles away and left him at a kiosk with Atari 2600 video games on display where several other boys were taking turns playing games. Shortly afterwards, she said that she returned to find that he and the other boys had disappeared. A store manager informed her that a scuffle had broken out over whose turn it was at the kiosk and a security guard demanded that they leave the store. The security guard asked the older ones if their parents were there, and they said that they were not.[4] It was later conjectured by Adam's parents that he was too shy to speak to the security guard, who presumed that he was in the company of the other boys, and put him out the same door. Based upon Revé's claim that he was in the store with her, it was assumed that he was then left alone near an exit that was unfamiliar to him.[4][5]
Adam's severed head was found by two fishermen in a Vero Beach canal (approximately 130 miles away) on August 10, 1981. The rest of his body has never been recovered.[3] The coroner ruled that the cause of his death was asphyxiation and that the decapitation had occurred later, perhaps to render his remains unidentifiable.
Adam's father John Walsh was considered by authorities as a prime suspect as the police investigation started to become exhausted. After about a week, he was absolved of any foul play following a highly emotional press statement that was televised nationally.[citation needed]
Police eventually concluded that Adam was abducted by a drifter named Ottis Toole near the front exterior of the Sears that afternoon, after being instructed to leave by a security guard. He lured Adam into his Cadillac with a damaged right bumper with promises of toys and candy, then proceeded to drive north on Interstate 95 toward his home in Jacksonville. Adam, at first docile and compliant, began to panic as they drove on. Toole punched him in the face, but as this just made the situation worse, he then "walloped him unconscious". While Adam was knocked out, Toole drove to a deserted service road at Mile Marker 130 near Abacoa, Florida, and raped him for around two hours. When he realized Adam was still breathing, he strangled him to death with a seat belt, dragged him out of the car, and decapitated him with a machete. Toole later claimed to have disposed of Adam's body by incinerating it in an old refrigerator when he returned to Jacksonville. He drove around with Adam's severed head in his car for a few days until remembering it was in there, and then threw it into a canal, just north of where he said he killed Adam. He claimed that he wanted to make Adam his adopted son, but given the close relationship he had with loving parents, this was not very feasible. The police investigation of his abduction was alleged to be unsatisfactory, and they lost the bloodstained carpet from Toole's Cadillac, the machete used to decapitate Adam, and eventually, the car itself. DNA testing was in a rudimentary state in the early 1980s and it was not possible then to determine the source of the blood found in the Cadillac.[3]
Toole, allegedly a confidante of convicted serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, repeatedly confessed and then retracted accounts of his involvement. He was never charged in the Walsh case, even though he provided seemingly accurate descriptions as to how he committed the crime. Several witnesses also place him in the Hollywood area in the days leading up to Adam's disappearance. Police investigated him for Adam's murder but lost important evidence in the case, including the bloodstained carpet from his Cadillac.[3] In September 1996, he died in prison, aged 49, of cirrhosis while serving a life sentence for other crimes.[4] Afterwards, his niece told John that her uncle made a deathbed confession to the murder of Adam.[4][6] His confession was viewed as reliable, since he and Lucas confessed to or implicated themselves in more than 200 different homicides, most of which they accurately described with details only the culprit would know.[7]
In 1997, Hollywood Police Chief Rick Stone conducted an exhaustive review of the Adam Walsh case after the release of John's book. At the time, Stone was a 22-year veteran of the Dallas, Texas, and Wichita, Kansas, police departments and had been appointed Hollywood's chief of police in the previous year. Although the crime was 16 years old at the time of Chief Stone's review, he provided an analysis of the evidence, including reviewing taped interrogations of Toole by Hollywood Police Detective Mark Smith. Stone says his review found evidence to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that Toole murdered Adam. Both he and his close friend, convicted serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, were notorious, Stone noted, for confessing to crimes they committed and recanting.[8]
In 2007, allegations earned widespread publicity that Jeffrey Dahmer, arrested in Wisconsin in 1991 after killing more than a dozen men and boys, was also named as a suspect in Adam's murder. He was living in Miami Beach at the time Adam was murdered, and two eyewitnesses placed him at the shopping mall on the day Adam was abducted. One of the witnesses claimed to have seen a strange man walking into the toy department where Adam was abducted. The other said that he saw a young, blond man with a protruding chin throw a struggling child into a blue van and speed off. Both witnesses recognized the man they had seen as Dahmer when pictures of him were released in the newspapers after his arrest. Reports showed that the delivery shop where he worked had a blue van at the time. He preyed on young men and boys (the youngest being eight years older than Adam), and his modus operandi included severing his victims' heads. When interviewed about Adam in the early 1990s, he repeatedly denied involvement in the crime, even stating; "I've told you everything—how I killed them, how I cooked them, who I ate. Why wouldn't I tell you if I did someone else?"[9] After this rumor surfaced, John Walsh stated that he had "seen no evidence" linking his son's kidnapping and murder to Dahmer.[10]
On December 16, 2008, the Hollywood, Florida, Police Chief Chad Wagner, a friend of John, announced, with him present, that the case was now closed. An external review of the case had been conducted and police announced that they were satisfied that Ottis Toole was the murderer.[3][7][11]
Adam's kidnapping and murder prompted John to become an advocate for victims' rights. Adam's murder was among those that helped to spur the formation of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).[12] As a result of his advocacy, John was approached to host the television program America's Most Wanted.
The Code Adam program for helping lost children in department stores is named in Adam's memory. The U.S. Congress passed the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act on July 25, 2006, and President Bush signed it into law on July 27. The signing ceremony took place on the South Lawn of the White House, attended by John and Revé. The bill institutes a national database of convicted child molesters, and increases penalties for sexual and violent offenses against children.[13] It also creates a RICO cause of action for child predators and those who conspire with them.[14]
The rapper Bizzy Bone, who was abducted by his step-father as a child, was discovered by a neighbour who recognized his photo shown at the end of the television film Adam about the Adam Walsh case.[citation needed]

In October 1983, Toole told the police that he had abducted Adam from the mall and drove for about an hour to an isolated dirt road where he decapitated him (his body was never found). Investigators lifted bloodstained carpet from his white Cadillac. But DNA testing then was not as advanced as it now, and investigators could not tell if the blood was Adam's. When a detective assigned to the case in 1994 went to order DNA testing on the bloodstained carpet from Toole's car, the carpeting and the car were found to be missing.
