Locals want state to return levee responsibility
District officials cite lack of work as reason.
Published: Saturday, January 8, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 7, 2011 at 11:06 p.m.
HOUMA — After waiting for more than a year for the state to make a move, local levee officials are asking to take back responsibility for a local levee project so they can build it themselves.
The state's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority assumed responsibility for building two segments of the Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane protection system, "K" and "L," 10 miles that would have connected Morganza to the south Lafourche system.
The levees fell in a jurisdictional gray area. While they were a part of Terrebonne's Morganza, the levees would be built in South Lafourche Levee District's territory. But the levees offered south Lafourche little additional protection, shielding mostly Terrebonne and north Lafourche.
Tired of waiting on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Terrebonne levee officials began building a scaled-down version of the Morganza-to-the-Gulf project after Hurricane Ike flooded the parish in 2008. Their goal is to build 10-foot levees and floodgates along Morganza's proposed path in hopes that it can later be used as the base of the corps' levee.
The state offered to assume responsibility for K and L.
"We'd been sitting down, Terrebonne, north Lafourche and south Lafourche, trying to figure out how to handle this," said Windell Curole, South Lafourche Levee District's general manager. "After doing all this, the (state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority) said, 'This is a project we can engineer and get done.' "
But it hasn't happened, local officials said. And if the state doesn't have plans to get started soon, Levee District officials say they'd sooner get it built themselves.
"They've been so tied up with the oil spill," said Terrebonne Levee Director Reggie Dupre. "I asked (Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph) one question, 'Who would get dirt on the ground quickest, Windell or someone with the state?' "
Randolph sent a letter to Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Chairman Garret Graves this week asking him to return project authority to South Lafourche.
The levees would close a gap in the system, winding from Pointe-aux-Chenes to connect with the Larose-to-Golden Meadow levee in Larose.
Originally, the corps proposed connecting the levees at the top of the south Lafourche system, near Larose. But south Lafourche officials worried that could make their system more vulnerable, creating a "V" that could funnel storm surge north and force water over south Lafourche's levees.
The South Lafourche Levee District suggested shifting the levee's path south, closing the feared funnel and providing some protection for Cut Off and points north. This option would also enclose acres of additional marsh inside the levee system, irking environmentalists. But Curole said it would protect the rapidly collapsing marsh system there from further erosion as salt water encroaches north.
Curole said the corps agreed to make the alignment change.
Lafourche Parish has $8 million in hurricane-recovery dollars dedicated to building the levee, Dupre said. The current proposed levee path will cross an existing two-mile levee on land owned by Apache Corp. It will also follow an existing six-mile drainage levee, meaning just two miles will have to be built from scratch.
Dupre said he believes they have enough money to build the levee up to 7 feet along that path.
There are many pipelines crossing the levee and a water-control structure will have to be built, but Curole said those projects could be delayed because money is limited.

Polarized 3He Gas Circulating Technologies for Neutron Analyzers

Research Institution:
AbstractWide angle neutron analyzers require large volumes of polarized 3He gas that must maintain very high polarization. As these instruments have increased in size, they have outstripped 3He polarization capacity, shortening the run times and adversely affecting. A very high productivity source of polarized 3He and a method for flushing these instruments is needed for the next generation of neutron analyzers. We propose to develop an analyzer system that mates our large volume, low cost 3He polarizer to a large volume analyzer, so that the instrument may be frequently refilled and therefore be kept online. This proposal is to develop the gas handling technology to accomplish this. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: The direct benefit of this project is to enable new experiments and increase data rates in the neutron scattering experiments. Since neutron scattering is widely used in materials science research, increasing the analyzer availability would increase the availability for the beam for commercial research. There is a small but important market for this technology at nuclear physics laboratories around the world for applications in addition to neutron scattering. Also the gas handling technology proposed here may be important in the growing field of hyperpolarized gas MRI for medical imaging.

Nyrstar board approves $350 million Port Pirie smelter upgrade, saving 3250 jobs
- From: The Advertiser
- May 01, 2014
The Belgian-Swiss company's board gave the approval yesterday after it received formal advice from the State Government that Cabinet had agreed to a funding package.
"We have made tremendous progress over the last few months," Nyrstar senior vice-president Michael Morley said last night.
"It's fair to say we're in the very final stages of wrapping up the somewhat complicated documentation that underpins the extremely critical funding and support package with the SA Government.
"The parties are committed to finalising the negotiations and documentation by May 16."
The smelter directly employs about 850 people and it supports another 2400 jobs in the Spencer Gulf city.
During the two-year redevelopment, a construction workforce peaking at 400 people will be needed as the ageing processing plant is replaced by the latest technology, which will be more efficient and environmentally cleaner.
It would allow a broader range of metals to be processed and attract ore from Nyrstar's mines around the world.
Without the upgrade, the plant would close.
The State Government commitment was made to remove any funding uncertainty following the change of Federal Government.
"Nyrstar was informed by the SA Government that final Cabinet approval has been obtained to provide contingent support for the full amount of the third-party funding," Nyrstar said in a statement to the NYSE Euronext stock exchange.
MORE: What project means to South Australia
Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis said the Nyrstar board's decision provided for "the healthy future of Port Pirie" and was an important step toward the redevelopment going ahead.
The smelter's future was a critical bargaining chip when Premier Jay Weatherill persuaded independent MP Geoff Brock to back Labor to form government after the March state election. Mr Brock is the member for Frome, which is centred on Port Pirie and he is now the Regional Development Minister.
"South Australia has always supported the transformation project at the Port Pirie smelter and I welcome the significant decision made by the board today," Mr Brock said.
"I look forward to seeing finalisation of the agreement over the coming weeks."
Under a 2012 agreement between Nyrstar, the State Government and the federal Export Finance and Insurance Corporation, a complex funding package was drawn up.
Nyrstar said it would pay Euro 80 million ($100- $120 million) itself and another Euro 80 million by forward sales of products into the lead, zinc and silver markets.
It would seek Euro 120 million ($150-$180 million) investment from third parties in a deal underwritten by the federal Export Finance and Insurance Corporation.
The State Government contributed $5 million to a feasibility study and provided regulatory certainty through legislation.
However, doubt on the funding package emerged in March when Assistant Infrastructure Minister Jamie Briggs said that no final decision had been made and that "this is not a government that will be an ATM of last resort for failing big corporations".
The Export Finance and Insurance Corporation had yet to bring a case to federal Cabinet, Mr Briggs said at the time.
However, he added that as Mr Weatherill had indicated the State Government was committed to the project he could not see why Federal Government help was needed.
Mr Briggs deferred comment to Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb, who had not responded to The Advertiser on Wednesday night.
It is understood the State Government hopes the federal financing body will still provide the underwriting — but SA will step in if it does not.Originally published as Smelter upgrade to save 3250 jobs

I've always been fascinated by trees, it really amazes me how they grow strong and beautiful from a single seed on the ground, enduring the weather and the time. Now, about the reindeer... we don't have a reindeer culture here in Brazil like some countries up north, but i do think it's a very elegant animal. So, i put then together just for fun! Hope you guys dig it!

MILAN (Reuters) - Shares in Italian insurer Unipol <UNPI.MI> rose more than 8 percent in early Milan trade after 2012 results beat analyst expectations.
Unipol said on Thursday the 2012 net profit of the new group that will be created from the merger with peer Fondiaria-SAI <FOSA.MI> was 441 million euros.
The Bologna-based insurer, which said it will pay a dividend on 2012 results of 0.15 euros per ordinary share, said its net profit on a stand alone basis was 241 million euros.
"The numbers were very good and above market expectations," said a Milan trader.

Your Host
I'm a friendly, house-trained guest and host! Love living in Melbourne - best city in Australia! I work in the arts as a producer and publicist and also on many music festivals and events.
I have 2 friendly adopted rescue doggies - Holly and Fergie who live with me and my boyfriend Matt.
I spent 6 weeks in 2011 and 5 weeks in 2012 travelling in the USA - the entire trips my sister and I stayed at Air BnB places and had a fantastic time and met some wonderful people - so when I got back, I decided to add my place in Melbourne. I've met some lovely guests! In fact, ALL our guests have been super-lovely!
Would love to hear from you soon if you're visiting Melbourne!

Rockin' Stir Fry
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 10 mins
This is a recipe that I've developed over the years by adding a little of this and a little that until I had created what I call the perfect stir fry. My whole family enjoys this dish and It's one of my teenage daughter's favorites. Enjoy and feel free to tweak the amount of the sauce ingredients and vegetables to your liking. I use whatever vegetables I have on hand and eyeball the sauce ingredients. Don't be afraid of the oyster sauce. It is a must. It is what gives the authentic taste. Serve over steamed rice.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 bunch broccoli
- 2 small carrots
- 1 onion
- 1⁄2 cup red bell pepper
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 2 small zucchini
- 1 cup snow peas
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1⁄4 cup oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 1⁄2 cup roasted and salted cashews, garnish
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, garnish
- Separate broccoli florets and chop if necessary so that they are in bite size pieces.
- Peel carrots and slice thinly at a diagonal angle.
- Cut the ends of the onion. Run your knife into the first layer and peel away the skin. Set cut side of onion on cutting board, cut in half and then slice into vertical slices.
- Cut the red bell pepper into 1 inch chunks.
- Cut top 2/3 part of asparagus into 1 inch pieces. Do not include the bottom third of the asparagus as it is usually tough. Only use small sized aspargus. The thick is too tough to be enjoyable in a stir fry.
- Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and then cut crosswise into 1/4" slices.
- Pull the stem off of the snow peas and de-string them.
- Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise and then slice crosswise into very thin pieces.
- Heat 2 TBS oil in a wok or deep frying pan over high heat.
- Toss in chicken and cook, stirring constantly, until the edges start to turn opaque, about two minutes.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook another minute. The chicken will still have a few areas of pink.
- Add the vegetables except for the snow peas.
- Add sauce ingredients (except sesame oil) and saute until tender crisp, about five minutes. Note: After you turn the stove off, the vegetables will continue to cook in the pan so don't overcook them at this step.
- Add snow peas and 1 TBS sesame oil and stir fry a minute longer.
- Serve over steamed rice. Don't forget to spoon some of the flavorful liquid that has accumulated at the bottom of the pan on the rice.
- Garnish with roasted cashews and chopped cilantro.
- Note: I toast my already roasted and salted cashews in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes to make them slightly more toasted. It gives the cashews a nuttier flavor. I think it makes all the difference in the world. If you try this, please watch the cashews closely as they tend to burn easily.
Most Helpful
This was very good! I didn't have any cashews or cilantro and we still loved this. Next time I would like to add mushrooms and reduce the oyster sauce to 1/8 cup. I love the versatility! Thanks for posting!
A lovely chicken stirfry with lots of vegies - just the way we like it. We don't like cilantro, but the dish didn't suffer for leaving it out. I added a teaspoon of sambal oelek for a bit of bite. The sauce was very tasty. Thanks beckas for sharing this keeper.
I used the veggies in the fridge (broccoli, onions, sweet peppers) and pork loin pieces. I also used rice noodles instead of rice. The result was okay; I wasn't so crazy about the sauce.

Fox Shifts 'Sleepy Hollow' to Friday, Removes 'Bones' from Winter 2016 Schedule
Fox released its Winter 2016 schedule, which features some major changes to the network's existing lineups.
Fox released its Winter 2016 schedule, which features some major changes to the network's existing lineups.
The latest photo from the "Bones"/"Sleepy Hollow" shows Abbie Mills and Seeley Booth teaming up to solve a 200-year-old murder and its contemporary counterpart.
Brennan, Booth, Abbie and Ichabod will team up to discover the identity of a 200-year-old corpse, and save Sleepy Hollow from an army of the undead.
Producers describe the two-episode event as X-Files-esque as Bones and Ichabod Crane collide to solve a gruesome case.
Fox hopes that crossing the two crime dramas will keep both off the bubble moving forward.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Following, New Girl and The Mindy Project all received early renewals.
It's that time again: When all of our favorite shows come back from their summer hiatus, and you suddenly remember that the majority of them had cliffhangers that you remember very little about. While Google undoubtedly thanks you for the business, it has to be said: Is television doing it wrong?
Bones executive producers Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan tease that stars Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz are "negotiating through Season 9," and open up to Spinoff Online about how the Fox series is going "back to basics."
Bones stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel and executive producer Stephan Nathan talked with an enthusiastic Comic-Con International about the babies, higher stakes and what to expect in Season 8.
Creator Hart Hanson and star Geoff Stults discuss their new Fox drama The Finder, its roots in Hanson's hit series Bones, and what viewers can expect from the first season.
We all know that Christmas is a time to get fed up of your friends and family and turn to television for the kind of cheer that you only wish existed in real life. Bearing that in mind, then, it seems only right to suggest some shows to dial up on Netflix Streaming to make your yuletide bright.
It's Sweeps Month in televisionland this month, but that doesn't mean that every network is playing it safe. Sure, sweeps means new episodes of the top-rated shows as everyone tries to put their best foot forward, but that doesn't mean there aren't some all-new things to be watching in November, as well…

Nissan Qashqai review
The best-selling Nissan Qashqai started the crossover craze - we review Britain's favourite SUV
Sponsored Links
The Nissan Qashqai is the family hatchback that thinks it's an SUV. That could have been a recipe for disaster but Nissan's engineers managed to blend the qualities of both vehicle types to produce a brilliantly well-rounded product.
The Qashqai serves up a high quality driving experience with low noise levels and ride comfort emerging as clear strengths. The handling isn't the sharpest in the class but most owners won't be too put out by that. Economy is good with the 74mpg 1.5-litre dCi rivalling the greenest family-sized cars around.
Inside it's spacious and the build quality is good but those who remember the old Qashqai+2 seven-seater will be disappointed with the new Qashqai as it is only available with five-seats. For two more seats, buyers should look towards the larger Nissan X-Trail instead.
Britain's love affair with the crossover can be traced back to 2006 when Nissan took the bold decision to replace its family hatchback - the Almera - with the Qashqai. The faux-4x4 Qashqai spawned a whole new class of cars which combine the rugged looks and high driving position of an SUV with the size, economy and driving dynamics of a classic family hatch.
While Nissan's somewhat gone back on this by introducing the Pulsar, it hasn't neglected the best-selling Qashqai and the latest model is as desirable as ever. It sits in the middle of a three-strong SUV lineup - flanked by the more compact Juke and the larger, seven-seat X-Trail.
Image 2 of 24
The Qashqai range includes front-wheel-drive and 4x4 versions (though no models are true 'off-roaders') and there's a choice of manual or automatic gearboxes. Prices are competitive next to hatchback rivals like the Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf, while crossover rivals like the Skoda Yeti or Kia Sportage are comparable too. Yet it's worth noting that Renault offers the Kadjar crossover - based on the same platform, with a lot of shared technology, yet a lower price tag.
Launched earlier this year, the second-generation Nissan Qashqai takes over from where the old one left off but has moved the game on a bit too. While it may not be as game-changing as the model it replaces, there are significant improvements to the safety and multimedia technology available, not to mention the build quality.
There are five trim levels available on the new Qashqai: Visia, Acenta, n-tec, n-tec+ and Tekna. Nissan has long been committed to constantly improving the Qashqai and the Japanese brand introduced the aforementioned n-tec+ in October 2014, giving customers even more value for money.

• Nissan Qashqai diesel 2014 review
• Nissan Qashqai Tekna 2014 review
Engines, performance and drive
The original Nissan Qashqai was surprisingly fun to drive but the latest model takes a more mature approach. Levels of noise and vibration in the cabin have been vastly improved, with much less sound from the road and engine making its way inside, particularly on the motorway.
In a series of corners, the Qashqai feels composed. The electrically assisted steering is direct and surprisingly weighty in feel, while grip is plentiful. Nissan's Active Trace Control torque vectoring system helps boost the Qashqai's agility, braking individual wheels in order to reduce understeer and deliver a more positive turn-in to corners.
Image 5 of 24
The Qashqai features Nissan's Active Engine Brake function, which reduces jerkiness in the transmission when you lift off the throttle. Plus, the Body Motion Control technology constantly dabs the brakes to smooth out body movement over bumps. It works well, particularly at low speed, but hit a series of imperfections and the ride gets fidgety as the brakes and dampers fight to keep control.
This is rarely a problem around town, where the high driving position, light controls and decent visibility make the Nissan easy to navigate through crowded streets. Unfortunately, only the range-topping Tekna gets park assist (which steers the car into parking spaces) and a 360-degree camera system.
The diesel engines available on the Nissan Qashqai come from sister company Renault. Although the 108bhp 1.5-litre diesel dCi has been around for a while, constant development means it revs smoothly and is noise levels are subdued at idle. Its real strength comes in the excellent economy it returns though.
The engine delivers decent performance, too, and feels more lively on the road, thanks to the combination of prompt throttle response and the precise six-speed gearbox's well chosen ratios.
Elsewhere in the engine range Nissan offers a 128bhp 1.6-litre dCi diesel, a 1.2-litre DIG-T petrol and a 1.6-litre DIG-T petrol. The 1.6 dCi and 1.2 DIG-T units are offered with a choice of the standard 6-speed manual gearbox or the Xtronic auto – a CVT that shifts smoothly and keeps engine noise down. The 1.6-litre DIG-T offers 161bhp and is the Qashqai's quickest engine with a 0-62mpg time of 9.1s.
Image 8 of 24
The 1.6-litre diesel is the Qashqai's most satisfying engine with strong mid-range torque and a 0-62mph time of 9.9s compared to 11.9s in the 1.5 dCi models. It's also the only unit offered with the Qashqai's All Mode 4x4 set-up. If you want to take your Qashqai off-road, it's the only choice but it does come with a price and fuel economy penalty and the majority of owners will find the 1.5 dCi 2WD car perfectly adequate most of the time.
That brings us to the 1.2-litre DIG-T 115 petrol engine. It's the entry-level unit in the range but don't let that put you off. It's quiet and muscular enough for urban driving. If you do lots of longer trips, pay a bit more for a diesel but for most, the petrol will do the job.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
The new Nissan Qashqai is impressively economical, especially the 1.5dCi diesel, which achieves 74.3mpg on the combined cycle and is road tax free thanks to excellent CO2 figures of 99g/km. That means it'll be a cost-effective company car, too.
The 1.6-litre diesel is similarly frugal, claiming 65.7mpg and 115g/km of CO2. Opting for the excellent Xtronic CVT auto on this model only penalises things slightly with 62.8mpg and 119g/km.
If you must have a petrol Qashqai, a 1.2-litre turbo offers the same performance as the old 1.6 and 57.6mpg (129g/km), while a 1.6 turbo will arrive offering 50.4mpg (132g/km). Qashqai prices are on par with rivals but equipment levels tend to be slightly higher, especially in terms of safety kit.
Insurance groups
Insurance for the Qashqai ranges from group 14 for the 1.2-litre petrol up to group 19 for the 1.6-litre diesel. That means it's generally higher than a Kia Sportage but comparable with a Ford Focus.
Image 6 of 24
Image 6 of 24
It's worth bearing in mind that models fitted with the Smart Vision Pack are rated a couple of groups lower. This is because the pack includes features that reduce the chance of a low-speed collision. The Smart Vision Pack is fitted as standard to Acenta Premium and Tekna models, but it's a £495 option on all other models. We think it's well worth considering.
Demand for the Qashqai on the used market means it'll retain a good chunk of its value, with experts claiming you should get back 45% of its original price after three years and 36,000 miles. If that sounds shocking, it actually performs better than the Skoda Yeti (43%), but slightly worse than the Kia Sportage (54%).
Interior, design and technology
One thing's for certain: the second-generation Nissan Qashqai looks far more upmarket than the original model. The overall shape is typical crossover, with a raised ride height, roof rails and black plastic trim giving a familiar rugged off-roader look.
Up front, the Nissan Qashqai features a sharp nose with angular headlamps and distinctive LED running lights, while the twin chrome bars on the grille add a touch of interest. At the back, the LED tail-lamps wrap around the corners of the car and on to the tailgate. The optional Ink Blue paint also really helps the Qashqai to stand out. On top-of-the-range Nissan Qashqai Tekna models, 19-inch wheels come as standard, while Acenta cars get 17-inch alloys.
Image 12 of 24
Inside, the Nissan looks sharp and feels well built. There are sporty cowled dials and a full-colour trip computer display, while coloured ambient lighting on the centre console and gloss black trim on the dashboard give an upmarket feel.
The rest of the cabin is pretty smart too, and while the optional panoramic glass roof doesn't open fully, it lets in plenty of light. Choosing Acenta trim over the Tekna means you have to forego leather for cloth.
Image 15 of 24
Image 15 of 24
The Nissan Qashqai Acenta comes with decent levels of kit, including climate control, Bluetooth and automatic lights and wipers. However, you'll have to fork out £495 for front and rear parking sensors and a whole load of other safety gear, while sat-nav isn't even an option – you'll have to upgrade to the n-tec version for this desirable kit.
Sat-nav, stereo and infotainment
The Qashqai's intuitive touchscreen infotainment system is as good as you'll find in the crossover class and better than the ones fitted to many premium-badged models. The menu system is simple to get to grips with, giving easy access to audio and sat-nav functions.
Image 19 of 24
Image 19 of 24
The stereo is more of a blot on the Qashqai copybook with tinny sound quality. The upgraded audio system will be well worth specifying for music lovers.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
The seven-seater Nissan Qashqai +2 is no more – the new Qashqai offers more space for passengers and luggage than before in response to owner feedback. Anyone wanting seven seats will have to opt for the new Nissan X-Trail instead.
The Nissan Qashqai is 4,377mm long and 2,070mm wide including the wing mirrors. That makes it slightly smaller than the Kia Sportage but a bit larger than the Skoda Yeti. It's lower than both cars too, giving away around 80mm in height to the Yeti.
Image 20 of 24
Image 20 of 24
Compared to a typical family hatchback like the Ford Focus, the Qashqai is very similar in size. The key difference is the extra height that's such a central part of the crossover's appeal. Where the Focus stands 1,469mm tall, the Qashqai towers 1,590mm off the tarmac, this extra translates to easier access and an elevated driving position.
Leg room, head room & passenger space
Overall, there's still decent legroom in the rear and the transmission tunnel doesn't intrude on the middle-seat passenger's foot space.
The higher spec Nissan Qashqai models have a panoramic glass roof, which cuts into headroom. There's more space in models without this addition, but the combination of small side windows and black trim makes the Qashqai's cabin dark.
As you'd expect of a car aimed at families, the interior is packed full of useful storage. There's a large glovebox and several cubbies that are perfect for odds and ends. An electric handbrake also frees up the centre console for extra stowage and cup-holders.
Image 21 of 24
The Qashqai's 430-litre luggage area is impressive, and also features a flat loading lip and base, plus it benefits from a clever false floor that doubles as a boot divider. Fold the rear bench seat flat and the capacity increases to 1,585 litres. Better still, there's a compartment under the boot floor for storing the parcel shelf.
Nissan Qashqai group tests:
• Nissan Qashqai vs LR Freelander vs Jeep Cherokee
• Nissan Qashqai vs Suzuki SX4 S-Cross vs Kia Sportage
Reliability and Safety
The new Nissan Qashqai was marked down for reliability and build quality in our Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, but for overall customer satisfaction it ranked 21st out of 150 cars. Safety experts at Euro NCAP awarded the new Qashqai the full five stars, with the car scoring well in the adult and child occupant categories.
Nissan has improved things with its Safety Shield technology, which features heavily in the new Qashqai. It comprises clever features like front collision avoidance (autonomous braking), lane departure warning, drowsiness detection, blind spot warning and traffic sign recognition. There are even cameras to help you park and detect moving objects behind the car when you're reversing – the Qashqai will park itself, too.
Image 11 of 24
All Nissans come with a three-year/60,000 mile warranty, which is about average for this class. If you want more cover, it's worth remembering that the Hyundai ix35 comes with a five-year warranty and the Kia Sportage has a seven-year warranty.
Nissan offers fixed-price servicing that starts from £149 on petrol models and £159 on diesel cars. The Qashqai service intervals are every 12,500 miles for petrol models and every 18,000 miles for diesels.

Mail stops after postman attacked by dog owner
Residents and business owners in one Chicago neighborhood are upset because mail delivery has stopped.
Magic Man: As a Roosevelt Democrat, and a Sanders supporter let me say this. . I am very disappointed with president Obama, and I believe Hillary is unfit for president. That being said, the alternative would be a catastrophic destruction of the American values. . When the president of the United States Of America says his own secretary of state has shown carelessness as she carried out her job, and his director of the FBI says the secretary of state had shown extreme carelessness handling the government's secrets then that same president endorses her for president, and says she is the most qualified person ever to run for president makes people question his judgment. . Trump on the other hand is a very dangerous man, and people had better wake up to that fact, and read their history books before it is too late. . I will vote for Dr Jill Stein for president even though she can not win because I will not help facilitate the demise of America by voting for the lessor of two evils.

Please take a moment to read and share the latest Tenth Amendment Newsletter at this link –
Here's an excerpt:
The so-called progressives and statists are on the attack again. They don't like that our movement to say NO to unconstitutional "laws" and regulations is gaining steam, either. They lie, they make personal attacks, and they distort history. This time? The liberty-haters over at the Soros-backed Media Matters. Who are they after? Well, to name a few – Martha Dean, running for AG in Connecticut, and Tom Woods, author of Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century.
Please read through this newsletter for our featured article by Woods in response, a special Amazon discount on The Original Constitution, great commentary from TAC chapters, and more…
And – if you support our work, please send us a financial contribution – here. Together we can spread the message of the Constitution and liberty – and make a difference in our lifetime…

Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman: Life in New York City
Whitman found work as a freelance typesetter and as a journalist. The latter profession excited him immeasurably. "How it made my heart double-beat to see my piece on the pretty white paper, in nice type," 7 he recalled of his journalism career. In 1842, Whitman published a novel, an allegory about the dangers of alcohol entitled Franklin Evans; or The Inebriate. Whitman, at the time, was a supporter of the temperance movement, in part because of his father's drinking. The novel was commercially successful, though Whitman later described it as "damned rot - rot of the worst sort." 8
In 1846, Whitman took over as editor for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. He brought literary reviews to the paper for the first time, writing articles on the works of authors like Herman Melville and Ralph Waldo Emerson. He was forced out in 1848 over a political dispute with his boss. His boss backed the pro-slavery Democrats; Whitman was an unabashed free-soiler. So he temporarily left New York to work at a paper in New Orleans. He soon returned to New York, however, and resumed his career as a journalist.
Whitman cut a memorable figure in the city. "Duding himself up," wrote authors Mike Wallace and Edwin G. Burrows in Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898, Whitman "strolled around town, sporting a polished cane, absorbing scenes and characters. . . . Whitman particularly explored the plebeian world of popular culture, visiting fire companies, gambling dens, whorehouses, and theaters, and he wrote up richly detailed sketches of newsboys, pawnbrokers, stage drivers, salesclerks and butchers." 9 Whitman wasn't just observing life for his own personal amusement, or even for his journalistic pursuits. Whitman had started writing poetry, and the sounds, sights, and smells he encountered on his walks were all being employed in a new style of poetry.
