Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
Great results from Advanced Yohimbe-Plus!
Posted by Reviewer2943527 on Feb 24, 2008
I initially discovered your product when I was having difficulty in maintaining an erection and ejaculating. This was a direct result of a medication named Lexapro which I began taking for generalized anxiety. I had never had this problem prior to taking Lexapro. Your product got me back to normal, thank goodness. I finally became used to the Lexapro and did not need the Yohimbe any longer. I have since ordered your product at times to enhance my erection and arousal with my wife. Your product works very well. I'm trying to get my wife to take the Steel Libido for women but she has not agreed to take it yet. I really wish she would.
Yohimbe-Male ED Alternative, Mood upper
Posted by Reviewer3244717 on Nov 24, 2008
Great product-best alternative to pricey Rxs for ED-elevated mood also and didnt interfere with blood pressure Rxs. I take just 1 a day in am.BIG diffrence!!
Posted by Reviewer3202241 on Jun 16, 2008
I really like this product. I am sensitive to yohimbe so I can't take more than three softgels spread apart in a 24-hour period. Response time for erection is not as quick as with prescription medication but performance feels more "natural" in that I have better sensation and I can release in a timely manner. Highly recommended.

I am a repeat customer for this product....does wonders for me and seems to give me a daily edge. I take 1 morning and nite, and an extra for playtime. -Warren Eastman
It Works
Posted by Reviewer1264657 on Nov 03, 2008
This was a better value for me than some of the other products available because it contains 120 Softgels. It has worked for me. I wouldn't take it if you already have high blood pressure, however.

Addressing the Sinai: First Step for Israeli/ Moderate Arab AllianceTuesday, December 2nd, 2014
There has been much talk of partnership between Israel and moderate Arab states, Saudi Arabia Jordan and Egypt. Addressing radicalism in the Sinai Peninsula, the land bridge connecting Africa with the Middle East, presents these countries with a golden opportunity to unify. Development of an enhanced buffer zone at the Sinai/Gaza border, bomb resistant pipelines, and reinforced ports in Egypt and Israel provides additional opportunity for this union.
ISIS and the Syrian civil war dominate headlines in the Middle East. Through aggressive PR, ISIS has been attracting followers worldwide. Victory for moderate, pro-Western nations in the in the Sinai would undermine the confidence and charisma of ISIS, directing potential followers away from its radical path.
Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan all have much to gain in fortifying the Gaza border, providing better protection of pipelines, and greater fortification of ports in Israel and Egypt. The effectiveness of the Suez Canal, through which 8 percent of global trade travels, is undercut because of radicalism in Yemen and Somalia. Safety of Israeli and Egyptian ports, from which goods to the West are shipped, are challenged by Hamas, Al Qaida, and the ISIS conflict in Syria. Saudi Arabia, struggling with radical groups like Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula must counter obstruction from Yemen to its South and the Strait of Hormuz to its North. The Saudis depend on passage of fuels to safe ports in the Mediterranean as well. Jordan, having very little of its own natural resources, contends with Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood, and relies heavily on safe transport of fuels from Israel and Egypt.
Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, Hamas, and the local Bedouin population are the most important actors involved in the Sinai conflict. After the fall of Mohammad Morsi in 2011, many radical Islamists in Egypt, particularly in the Sinai Peninsula, see violence as their only means of gaining power. This was highlighted by the return of Ayman Al Zawahiri to Egypt, as well reinvigorated Al Qaida presence in the peninsula. Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, rising to prominence in 2013, is a local branch of Al Qaida, recently affiliated with ISIS. ABM gained support from radical Islamists after the fall of the Muslim Brotherhood. Some in the Sinai say they have seen Muhammad Al Zawahiri, Ayman's brother, working with ABM. On a positive note, if ABM becomes too closely linked with ISIS, it may lose credibility as specifically representing Egyptian Islamists disheartened by the fall of Morsi, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Victory against ABM would further hasten this.
Recently, ABM used rockets smuggled from the Palestinian border through Hamas tunnels. It attempted an assassination on Egyptian Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim in Cairo in September, 2013. On October 24th, ABM also attacked a security checkpoint in the Sinai, killing 33 Egyptian security personnel.
Hamas, an offshoot of Muslim Brotherhood based in Gaza, helped enable the car bombing in the October 24th attack conducted by ABM. Black market tunnel trade and logistics at the Gaza border is one tangible way that it can be linked to Al Qaida and ISIS in the Sinai. Hamas may have an agreement with the Palestinian group Jaish al-Islam to train people to fight in Yemen, Syria, and the Sinai. Since its leadership began in 2007, tunnels from the Sinai into Gaza have contributed $230 million in monthly revenue. Radical allegiances are not as simple as Sunni versus Shia. Although Hamas is a radical Sunni group, it has been linked with Iran for funding, weaponry, strategy, and training.
When stakes against Western targets are high, groups funding Sunni and Shia radicalism unite. In the past, the military wing of Hamas has imported Iranian-made long range Fajr-5 rockets. It has been suspected recently that Iranians linked to Hamas were working with ABM to strategize deadly attacks on the peninsula. Recently, the discovery of a Klos-C missile, as well as 40 rockets and 400,000 bullets were intercepted in the region and thought to be in transit to Gaza.Terence Rosenthal

Grilled Vegetable Salad With Feta
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 25 mins
A versatile recipe from Ellie Krieger at Foodnetwork. Posting for ZWT6. You could prepare the veggies and dressing ahead, cut the 1/2 inch pieces right before assembling,and then assemble and portion out what you want later. If you want to give this more substance, serve with rice or couscous.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 4 pieces
- 1 lb eggplant, cut across into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices (about 8 ounces each)
- 1⁄2 cup mixed mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- olive oil flavored cooking spray
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1⁄4 cup of fresh mint, chopped (optional)
- 1⁄2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon pistachios, chopped (optional)
- Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a tray or work surface.
- Lightly spray both sides of veggies with olive oil cooking spray.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over a medium-high heat.
- Grill the vegetables in batches until both sides are nicely charred and the vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes for the pepper, about 8 minutes for the eggplant and onion, and about 6 minutes for the zucchini and mushrooms.
- When the vegetables are cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and transfer to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and oregano.
- Pour over the vegetables and toss.
- Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Gently stir in the tomatoes and mint.
- Divide the salad between 4 plates and sprinkle with the feta and pistachios.
Most Helpful
Lots of good flavors in this salad! I'm using the leftovers to make a sub. Thanks!
Loved this salad, the light dressing allowed the flavor of the grilled vegetables to come through. Next time will try it with the mint and pistachios. Thank You. Made for ZWT6 the No-Nonsense Nibblers.

Remote management is a greatly revamped feature in IIS 7.0. The ability to manage remotely the web server from a variety of client (and server) operating systems leverages with feature delegation to allow for a really distributed and locked down administration infrastructure. I won't go into much detail of the clockwork behind, only the necessary to understand why certain policies may break the remote management feature.
Inner workings of remote management
This remote management service is a stand alone web server (a hostable web core (HWC)). When a remote user successfully authenticates, this web core service creates (using NT Service\WMSVC identity) in %systemroot%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Temp\WMSvc a Web Site infrastructure in which it will deploy (on demand) the appropriate web services. The remote IIS Manager connects to these web services to accomplish the management tasks.
The web services are as following:
These web services are deployed on demand, using the user NT Service\WMSVC is impersonating.
Security policies role
Here, and having all the configuration options established following http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/113/getting-started-with-iis-manager/ and http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/159/configuring-remote-administration-and-feature-delegation-in-iis-7/ the service web site creation and web service deployment may fail for several reasons related to users privileges and rights.
Troubleshooting these issues
NT Service\WMSVC must have the proper impersonation rights and privileges.
The users that will be remote managers of the web server must have the proper logon rights and privileges.
And most importantly the remote managers must be able to traverse the directory hierarchy in order to be able to deploy and have access to the web services. This policy is SeChangeNotifyPrivilege which is a cryptic name for "Bypass traverse checking". From Technet: This user right determines which users can traverse directory trees even though the user may not have permissions on the traversed directory. This privilege does not allow the user to list the contents of a directory, only to traverse directories.
As we can see, this structure for remote management can be broken using strict policies. In fact, excluding Everyone (strict) and Users (stricter) from having SeChangeNotifyPrivilege rights gives this error:
The user impersonated cannot access the directory containing the web service he or she needs to perform management tasks. The previous behaviour is recognized when a remote management user which is a local Administrator of the web server connects through remote management to the web server. Further on, any user can connect (he/she still gets an error (access denied exception)) when accessing any remote management task) to the remote management service. That's because the Administrator connection has created all the management web site directory infrastructure and the following users don't need to create them on connection. When access to the web service files is checked the exception is returned.
The management site folder infrastructure remains created as long as the management service is running.
That's all for now and be careful with policies!

is there a away to debug my gen statements. obviously I do not want to see all the signal data on a per sample basis (hmm well that could be nice actually).
right now I'm calculating some values based upon input parameters and then multiplying with the signal. but I'd like to see what the values I've calculated are?
The best way to "debug" is to just connect whatever signal you want to see to an outlet. You could temporarily add an extra outlet to the gen patcher for this purpose.
Exactly. And from there, all the usual suspects of debugging MSP programming, from number~, snapshot~ and particularly capture~ (if you want to see all the signal data on a per sample basis…)

We're in the process of moving an ecommerce site to Magento, but are reconsidering thinking it might be overkill. Since we're so experienced with WordPress already, we're thinking of going the WP route if we can find an ecommerce plugin. The products are very straightforward, with no options. Here are our current monthly averages:
Sales: $36,000
Visitors: 5,500
I'm curious to hear about others' experiences with using WordPress for ecommerce. Any input would be appreciated.

Gingerbread for a while, so let us be clear: the Droid X update that's being pushed out right now from Verizon is still very much based on Android 2.2 (despite the confusing build version, 2.3.340). That said, this feels like a pretty awesome boost, featuring a whole host of bug fixes along with a flip-to-mute option ("turning control" in Nokia parlance), preloaded Flash 10.1, and both EA's Madden and a new MyVerizon app in ROM. It's getting pushed now, so enjoy, you crazy, fun-loving Droid X users, you.

Released: Oct 01st, 1985
Running Time: 60
Director: Shannon (I)
Company: L.A. Video
Cast: Pasha, Shaun Easton, Angelique Ricard, Ava Hollywood, Shannon (I), Michael Mann, Sondra Stillman
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Gay Specialty
The quality of tapes involving transsexuals has improved greatly with this new series, Trisexual Encounters. For a tape of its genre, I do recommend Number 1. For those who have never entered the world of transsexuals, you might find the contents very shocking.
Four 15-minute vignettes are hosted by famous transsexual Shannon, who also serves as director. The best segment involves Sondra Stillman, Michael Mann and an unnamed transsexual in a hot tub. After Stillman and Mann both give the transsexual head, Mann enters him/her from the rear, while Stillman continues the oral stimulation. And the thing is, they all look happy.
Another segment features a black mistress (Summer St. Cerly) with breasts and a penis who forces a blonde kid (Jamie Bleu) to give him/her head. The final two segments are a little less exciting, with the encounter between transsexuals Angelique Ricard and Pasha containing way too much simulated sex.
Shannon describes trisexuals as people not certain of their own sexuality and those willing to try anything. So if you take the adventure and try this tape, maybe you can call yourself a trisexual video viewer.

|Re: application url context change is it possible
|Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:19:40 GMT
Probably directory layout was changed, in version 1.2.1 there is no "conf" under "apps/archiva". File with name "application.xml" is located under "apps/archiva/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/plexus/" and there is no element "context". For now i've just renamed directory from "apps/archiva" to "apps/newName". That works fine, but maybe it is better to modify configuration file? Im not an expert with these things.

First reviews...
Ive seen those, but never heard of the sites before. Still waiting to see what my regular websites I read have to say about this.
Edit: I already have it on order through Best Buy's UFC Undisputed 2010 deal, so it really doesnt matter.
From what I saw of it at E3, it looked kinda just like EA Sports Active 2. Which is a good thing, but not going to redefine exercise games. However, that was only a brief viewing, they didn't exactly show any MMA stuff other than kicking and punching.
Will be interested to see the whole game.
I think mostly their reviews are pretty bad compared what i think of the games.
Meta critic currently has ONE review, but upon clicking on it, i got a Spanish website:
I've heard there has been a few bugs in it but i'll see for myself.
gamerankings.com has 4 reviews with a ranking av 88.75%!
Talked to two people who have it and they say it KICKS ASS! I'll have to buy it at best buy for undisputed.
They did say there were a couple of glitches though concerning xbox live, but those can be patched easily.
IGN gave it a 6.5 but I just got it today and its pretty intense I haven't experienced any issues.
Rented it from Gamefly and have only scratched the surface with a few Activities and a Workout. Enjoyed it enough to do the "KEEP GAME" option thanks to a $5 Gamefly Rewards code + the extra 4th of July $5 disount + 5% off the regular "KEEP GAME" price.
Under $30 is a pretty good deal. Now I just got to stick to this game everyday for those hefty Achievements.

About the McNair Scholars Program
Ronald E. McNair, an African-American engineer, scientist and challenger astronaut, was born on October 12, 1950 in Lake City, South Carolina. McNair was the son of an auto mechanic. His perseverance in the face of poverty and prejudice led him to successful completion of his bachelor's degree, magna cum laude, in Physics from North Carolina A & T State University in 1971. Five years later he earned a Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Dr. McNair was nationally recognized for his work in the field of laser physics and received many honorary degrees, fellowships and commendations. His achievements were not limited to academia. He was a sixth degree black belt in karate and was an accomplished saxophonist. Dr. McNair and his wife, Cheryl Moore, had two children, Reginald and Joy.
In 1978, Dr. McNair was selected for the NASA space program and was the second African American to fly in space. His life ended tragically on January 28, 1986 when the Challenger space shuttle exploded and crashed into the ocean, taking the lives of six other astronauts. The National McNair Programs are built on the assumption that exceptional individuals from low-income backgrounds who would make excellent university professors may not be easily identified. In some cases, inadequate academic preparation in secondary school or a rough transition to college work may result in these students giving up on sciences or having their potential unrecognized. The UST McNair Scholars Program was funded from 2008-2012 and was dedicated to preserving his legacy of scholarship and accomplishments. The Excel! Research Scholars Program continues to support existing McNair Scholars as they seek admission to graduate programs.

"Ottawa Airport" Top 5 Page for this destination Travel by Air Tip by jamiesno
Travel by Air, Ottawa: 13 reviews and 20 photos
03-17-08 - The Ottawa Airport is approximately $30 in a cab from down town Ottawa so that is reasonable. I like the Ottawa airport, it is small, easy to navigate and has a new modernistic look and feel to it.
There is generally a fair line going through security and lately there are no liquids permitted through security. This is disappointing in Ottawa because I seen a buster juice franchise but it is outside of security so if you get a drink you have to drink it before you go through security. It would be good on arrival I guess, you would just have to go look for it. Small disappointment, lol.
There is a Tim Horton's both inside and outside security. What else is there about the Ottawa airport? Hmmm. They make a nice use of waterfalls throughout the airport making for a relaxing environment probably helping with air rage I guess?
All round a nice airport.

Health Rules You Can Bend - Colds
2. Stay away from people with colds.
Unless you have lung disease or bad asthma, it's fine to be around people with colds.
"No one should be so health obsessed as to engage in antisocial behavior," says Norman H. Edelman, MD, chief medical officer of the American Lung Association.
Still, you don't want to catch a cold. So be sure to wash your hands afterward with soap and warm water or use a hand sanitizer, because cold germs spread through contact.

Magical Tree
|Magical Tree
|Release date(s)
|Platform game
|One player
Two players
Magical Tree (マジカル ツリー Majikaru tsurī?) is a vertically scrolling platform game developed by Konami for the MSX home computer, and published in 1984. Konami published a Brazilian Portuguese version, Árvore Mágica, in 1985.[1]
Konami included Magical Tree in the 1998 game anthology Konami Antiques MSX Collection, Vol. 2 for PlayStation.[2]
The player character is an "Indian brave" stereotype who wears a tanned vest and trousers, and a headband with a feather. The player ascends a magical tree by hopping from branch to branch and climbing vines and ladders—while also dodging larvae, owls, and lightning bolts. The player can jump and dangle from branches. He earns points by gathering apples, arrows, daggers, and coronets.
The tree is 2004 meters tall. A gauge tracks the player's altitude, and at the conclusion of each level the game informs the player how much further to climb to reach the goal: A castle on the treetop. The ascent is divided into nine game levels; the player character dances at the conclusion of each level.
When the player clears the ninth level, a curtain opens to reveal the castle at the top of the tree. Smiling from the crenels of the castle's parapet are a young woman in a purple frock, and a man wearing a war bonnet. After the end sequence, the game then continues at the base of the tree.

Principal's Message
Mr. Dave Bergan
It's hard to believe we're already back in school! Things have been busy this summer as we've made many building improvements, and prepared for a great school year. Here are a few highlights for you as we get back into the swing of things.
- 3rd Grade: We're excited to have a talented third grade team added to the Amity Staff. Mrs. Caroline Kwiat (Math & Science) will be paired with Mrs. Jill Jones (English/Language Arts & Social Studies), and Mrs. Celeste Simonson (Math & Science) will be paired with Mrs. Donna Beiting (ELA & SS). To accommodate our larger numbers in the third grade, Mrs. Mae O'Hara will be teaching an additional class of 3rd grade students.
- Physical Education: We are pleased to welcome Ms. Callen Martin as our new PE teacher at Holmes & Amity. Ms. Martin is coming to us as after teaching Physical Education for two years at Winton Prep.
- Specialized Classroom: We have added a specialized classroom to meet our student needs. Mrs. Susan Butts is moving from our Jr./Sr. High to Amity to lead this new opportunity for our students.
- Intervention Specialist: Mrs. Kerri Gutekunst will be working with both 3rd grade and Kindergarten this year. She is making the move from a 4th grade classroom position, and we're excited to have her here in Deer Park.
Outside of the building you will see repaired concrete, new fencing on E. Galbraith Rd., a new roof on the main part of the building, and replaced exterior doors in the rear of the building. Inside, we replaced old ceiling tiles, retiled the upstairs hallway, installed new carpet in our music areas on the lower level, and touched up paint throughout the building. Our five new classrooms were remodeled with new furniture and boards, and both the office area and the nurse's room were updated. We are proud of the all the work that was accomplished this summer. Our maintenance crew deserves a huge thank you for working so hard to make it all happen.
Added Student Computers
This summer we added eight additional carts of student laptop computers. This will allow us to have a cart in every fifth and sixth grade classroom. Our third and fourth grade will have six carts to share among nine classes. We will work throughout the year to add additional devices so that we reach our goal of having a cart of computers in every room.
This year our handbook has been posted online. If you would like a hard copy please call the office and we will send a copy home. We have also eliminated our white index card for contact information. Instead, we will use the information from our Emergency Medical Form to update contacts in our system. Please be sure to list all valuable contacts and updated phone numbers on the Emergency Medical Form.
Updated Building Behavior Plan
Last year we began looking at our building wide behavior plan. It had been over twenty years since it was last updated. We felt it needed to include the more recent programs in the building, and to reflect our current students. At the end of the year we gave students a survey asking what types of rewards would motivate them. Students responded with a strong desire to include weekly incentives, instead of rewards occurring on a quarterly basis. We developed a system that uses "StEP Bucks" (pretend currency earned by making positive daily choices), to allow students to participate in weekly reward time. We will continue to have our quarterly StEP Store, where students will have the chance to spend, save or donate the money they earned for the quarter. We're confident these changes will help create a positive climate in the building.
New Morning Routine
This year we will start with a new morning routine. Rather than having students gather and line up outside the building on nice days, students will gather in assigned locations inside the building every day. Students eating breakfast should report to the cafeteria at 7:30am. All other students should report to the building at 7:45am. 6th Grade will meet in the cafeteria, while 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades will meet in the gym.
As you look at the School Calendar this year, you will notice that we no longer have early release times on Wednesdays. Instead, we will have an occasional full day of staff professional development. Students will not report to school on these days. Be sure to look ahead and plan accordingly. Our district calendar will be sent home the first week of school, and can also be found at: www.deerparkcityschools.org.
Curriculum Night
This year, in addition to our Meet & Greet, Amity Elementary will host its first ever curriculum night. Grade levels will start every 30 minutes, and our hope is that families will be able to learn more about student routines and expectations.
|1st Day of School
7:30 AM (breakfast)

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Contributed by: Siona
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
Wayne W. Dyer
One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.
Marilyn Monroe (1926 - 1962)
I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone.
Audrey Hepburn (1929 - 1993)
Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength; and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life; they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It's like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can't stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.
Anne Lamott
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see Life as a whole: by which, and by which alone, we can understand others in their real as in their ideal relations.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
And this is the simple truth - that to live is to feel oneself lost. He who accepts it has already begun to find himself, to be on firm ground. Instinctively, as do the shipwrecked, he will look around for something to which to cling, and that tragic, ruthless glance, absolutely sincere, because it is a question of his salvation, will cause him to bring order into the chaos of his life. These are the only genuine ideas; the ideas of the shipwrecked. All the rest is rhetoric, posturing, farce.
Soren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855)
It's vital to remember who you really are. It's very important. It isn't a good idea to rely on other people to do it for you, you see. They always get it wrong.
Terry Pratchett (1948 -)

Pep Guardiola
14 trophies in 4 seasons isnt bad but this guy inherited Xavi, Messi, Valdes, Puyol, Iniesta, Busquettes, Abidal, Pique, Alves, Keita, Eto'o and Pedro. I reckon Terry Connor could win the league with that lot!
Does anyone think that Guardiola will be able to get Spearing to be the new Iniesta or turn Dirk Kuyt into a 60 goal a season midget? No, I dont think so, this I guess means people think that he would bring in the right players to make them play a similar way so its worth having a look at his transfer history:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - A snip at 46m Euros plus the (at the time) most prolific hitman in the world Eto'o, lets just call it 69m Euros for a guy they sold the next season for a bargain loss of 47m Euros. Makes Andy look good value.
Dmytro Chygrynskiy - Long term Puyol replacement bought from Shaktar for 27m Euros and took to the la liga like a long haired Jonathon Woodgate. Returned home after one season for a 12m Euro loss.
Henrique - 11m Euros from Palmeiras, spent 4 years out on loan with, wait for it, 0 appearances for Barcelona before being released on a free. Great defender.
Keirreson - £16m Euros for a striker who has been out on loan 5 times making a staggering 0 appearances, set to be released this summer.
Alex Hleb - 17m Euros from feeder club Arsenal, Hleb went on to score 0 goals for Barca before going out on loan and failing to perform at midlands giants Birmingham City. Now plying his trade in Russia having failed to bring in anything in the way of a transfer fee.
Martin Caceres - £16.5 m Euros from Villareal, 16 first team appearances then sold for 3m Euros, another great piece of business.
Javier Mascherano - £22m from ourselves is a lot of money for cover at centre half for a player who looked the best destructive midfielder since Makelele. Not really a flop but he is no centre half, as the in form Torres found out last week.
They cant all be bad, Villa was electric in the 1st half of his 1st season before hitting a 16 game drought as Guardiola pushed him out wide, started this season angry at being played wide and tipped to leave again this summer at a loss on their 40m Euro investment. Affelay was only 3m Euros and despite not having much impact, is sure to realise a profit when he is inevitably sold this year. Maxwell, Adriano, Fabregas and Alexis Sanchez have all been ok but not heavily influenced the side despite clearly being excellent players but at 80m Euros, you would expect a few of them to nail down starting berths!
Dani Alves is an undoubted success but at 35m Euros, you would expect a pretty tidy right back and as far as I can see is the only Guardiola signing who starts every week. People are getting very excited about the idea of him replacing Kenny but be careful what you wish for!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Yet he'll have to be a good manager to handle all those ego's...
- 1 Reply to LFC_Armchair_Supporter
Absolutely, he is definitely an excellent manager, I just dont think he is the right fit for us. For every flop he bought, he promoted a youth team player without reducing the quality, the difference was that he was maintaining a champions league and la liga winning side whereas at Liverpool, maintaining a 7/8th place side wont be a job well done. We need a good buyer not a reserve team promoter. Kenny is already doing that its just the talent pool at LFC;s academy isnt similar to Barcas!
i'm glad we agree armchair.

I was being sarcastic Squirl ;)..
Fair play Peter. You've highlighted my concerns exactly.
Managing Barcelona, to me, is not exactly proof that your a top class manager. Sure it's not an easy job with the levels of expectation there now but does he have the quality that's needed to rebuild a club. I doubt it as you've pointed out with some of their transfer dealings. In fact it seems that Abramovich wants Pep. He may go for the pay day as I fully expect him to fall on similar times to AVB. The job AVB started at Chelsea is still there and just got harder on year on.
Also Rijkaard hasn't done much since leaving Barca either remember.

Worst app ever
Do not buy this app. It is the worst one ever made and it's a waste of time and money. It's not really even a trivia game
Very Basic
This app has very basic NASCAR knowledge in it and doesn't have an option to move up to higher level things.
I mean is "Who won the Daytona 500 in 2010?" really that good of a question?
Things like "Who won the championship in 1974" or "Who was nicknamed as the 'Silver Fox'" would be at least some examples of what would be needed to make this app better.
Amazing game it is so fun

Peaches' life may have been privileged, but addiction doesn't discriminate
Published 24/07/2014 | 02:30
The tragic death of Peaches Geldof should teach us that there is no such thing as a stereotypical drug addict. The mass outpouring of sympathy that was prompted by the death of Peaches quickly turned to scorn when it was revealed that she had died of a drug overdose. The people, who had lavished praise on her for turning her life around, from debauched and destructive to virtuous and responsible, were scathing.
Having lost her own mother to a heroin overdose when she was just 11 and spoken of the lifelong shadow that had been cast by her death, how could she stick a needle in her vein when her infant sons were in the next room?
Not only had she projected an image of herself as a reformed earth mother with a "perfect life", she marketed herself as that.
She gave interviews and wrote columns about how her marriage and the birth of her sons had "saved" her from a lifestyle of drugs, parties and casual sex.
Now we know that when she returned home from TV studios, where she spoke eloquently about attachment parenting or her idyllic rural life, she was shooting up heroin, injecting it into her thumb or her elbow so the track marks wouldn't be visible.
In her first column, for 'Mother and Baby' magazine, she wrote: "I had the perfect life – two beautiful babies who loved me more than anything. It was, and is, bliss."
By the time it was published, she was dead, found slumped on her bed with the drugs that had killed her hidden in a sweet box beside her. She was just 25.
But anyone who doesn't feel sympathy for Peaches Geldof, because of the manner of her death, clearly doesn't understand addiction.
They don't understand that you don't need to be homeless, or poor or living on the margins to have an addiction. They don't know how seductive and enslaving a drug habit can be and how hard it is to escape.
They don't understand the heroic battle that addicts have to wage every day, fighting a nihilistic urge to succumb to the intoxicating lure of a fix although they know that they are risking everything – their job, their family, their happiness, their life – to do so.
Geldof had fought that battle for at least two years. Her inquest yesterday heard that she had received "considerable treatment and counselling" and, for a while, it was working.
She was reformed, she was redeemed and, for a time, she wasn't living a lie when she spoke of her blissfully boring life.
But then, something snapped. Perhaps the pressure of trying to live up to the persona that she had created became too much.
Her struggle to maintain a veneer of perfection, when she knew the kind of venom she would subjected to if her drug use became public, must have been extremely stressful.
Whatever happened, it is clear that her internal demons were not silenced by her wealth, success or beauty.
Maybe that is where our indignant sanctimony stems from. Most of us struggle through life trying to make ends meet, certain that more money, or less weight or a new relationship will make everything immeasurably better. In contrast, Geldof seemed to have everything so easy. But the uncomfortable message from her sad death is that satisfaction with one's life is not a function of any of these material things.
Some of us use alcohol, some of us gamble, some of us use sex, but she had the misfortune to get hooked on one of the most insidious, dangerous and addictive drugs that exists.
The fact that she injected herself with the poison that ultimately killed her doesn't make her death any less tragic. The disease she had was terminal.

He wants to put the fish bowl rightnext to the window in his room where the bright sunlight will directly hit the bowl. You are concerned that the curved side of the bowl might focus the incoming light rays from the sun at a point inside the bowl, which would fry the goldfish if it swims through that point. Compute the point where the incoming parallel rays of the sun will converge, considering only the first curved surface that the light rays pass through, and determine if its inside or outside the bowl. Ignore the thin glass walls of the bowl and use 1.33 for the index of refraction for water.

Abstract: Background: Endocannabinoids may participate in the homeostasis of arterial pressure. Recently, anandamide, the most extensively studied endocannabinoid, has been proposed as a key mediator in the peripheral arterial vasodilation of cirrhosis.
Objectives: To determine if circulating levels of anandamide are related to the extent of the peripheral arterial vasodilation, the severity of portal hypertension and the degree of liver and renal dysfunction of patients with cirrhosis.
Methods: Plasma levels of anandamide and several systemic, portal and renal hemodynamic parameters were determined in 18 patients with cirrhosis and eight healthy subjects (control group).
Results: Plasma levels of anandamide were elevated in patients compared to the control group (P<0.05), nevertheless, no differences between patients with ascites and well-compensated patients were found. There was no correlation between anandamide concentration and arterial pressure, cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance, Child–Pugh's score, portal pressure, renal vascular resistance, plasma renin activity or plasma aldosterone concentration.
Conclusions: Circulating levels of anandamide are increased in cirrhotic patients. However, this elevation was unrelated to the extent of arterial vasodilation, the severity of portal hypertension or the degree of hepatic and renal dysfunction. Although a local hormonal action cannot be excluded, our results do not support a relevant contribution of this system in the hemodynamic disturbance of cirrhosis.

The author offers "Shower Club as a case study of this hypothesis." What is the hypothesis to which the author refers?
Great writing and reporting.
Also Bri, we mailed out your tote. Sorry you didn't get it. We are happy to send you another one.
The Tuskha record will not replace the Bowerbirds record. Tuskha was part of the Kickstarter project and was initially called "Island Dweller."
Wonder if the campaign paid for LaCivita to fly on the state plane.
Sorry I missed this. I worked 13 years part-time in pastry production at NSB and knew Jacqueline then (1985-1998). I see her once a year when I get hot cross buns for my choir and neighbors on Good Friday. She is such a special soul!
Illegal immigrants should be sent back. .. get in line the right way, there is no right way to steal, rob or invade! If we went to Mexico or Honduras And over stayed our visas. .. not only would we be put out of the country, but we'd probably be put in jail and face heavy fines!
Unlike many of those commenting on this story on some sites,
I live in Durham,
and worked for the police (elsewhere) for years,
and would only make ONE correction to Jillian's remarks:
It's true that "[SOME OF] the most dangerous people with guns are cops
& soldiers"
especially when, as in Durham,
the use of guns by cops
is undocumented
with no after-action review. Very unprofessional, and NOT consistent with best practices,
and one of the main reasons the Police Chief was replaced,
and largely why Jillian was elected.
ANY angry stranger pointing a gun at you is dangerous, and cops here do it so often that
cops are most certainly among the most dangerous people with guns, especially since
cops' GUN PLAY here is undocumented.
Many millions of people have been killed in the past century by soldiers and
many thousands of people have been killed by cops in this country alone,
including thousands lynched, almost always with law enforcement as accessories,
and sometimes even the perpetrators,
as well as, even now, actively or passively encouraging criminal violence
& teaching/modeling violence to kids who emulate them.
For those of you who don't know Durham, it is the only jurisdiction around here that
does not require cops to document the use of weapons. I've been stopped by cops
here in Durham HUNDREDS of times going to work, leaving work, going to Church, etc.,
with blatant racial remarks from cops
a common feature of most of those stops.
I've been stopped at gunpoint, searched at gunpoint, & explicitly threatened with death
by cops. 2 cops told me they could shoot me for wearing those little LED safety
blinkers you get at bike shops, accusing me of playing laser tag (bad training;
if you're gonna tell cops they can shoot people for playing laser tag,
then you need to explain the difference
between LASERS and LEDs (like tail-lights on cars, or bicycle safety blinkers);
one cop slashed a knife across my throat telling me not to report dirty cops
and 2 cops confronted me at a bus stop
when they heard I was asking around about
cops selling drugs and said "Yeah there's cops selling drugs,
but it's none of yer business;
keep yer nose out of it; we know where you live; next time you won't just be beaten
[as I have been; I complained about a beating BEFORE as well as after I was beaten];
we'll just shoot you down like a dog in the street; just another drive-by."
After one of several times I saw cops blatantly committing armed robbery,
a cop got all up in my face and asked me "What do you think about this?" and I said
"I think your men are thieves; I saw that; I'm a witness" and he told ordinary
street criminals (not cops) that I was an informant, that they pay me for information,
very nearly getting me killed hours later. [Fortunately, my executioner was killed.]
One of the most dramatic arrests of gun-runners EVER by the ATF was
the arrest of 5 men, including a guy with a Federal Firearms license,
a security guard, a manager at RDU international airport, and 2 cops,
one of them right here in Durham, someone I had seen committing what
could be described as armed robbery [I've seen more blatant examples];
those 5 guys sold over a thousand guns all up & down the East Coast, and
many of those guns were used in homicides.
Cops here still take money, drugs, and (allegedly) guns.
When I wrote to the police chief about a drug-dealer
who wanted to talk about cops taking guns
and letting him go (he gave me his name & 'phone number),
La-La-La-Lopez did not reply, and when I tried to complain about
a cop pushing his way through a crowded bus with gun drawn,
to wake up a sleeper (homeless?)
he wouldn't hear it and
he said cops pulling their guns like that is not documented because
"it happens all the time" and his spokesman said it's "normal behavior".
Cops here in Durham call cops who jerk their guns out "all the time" "jerk-offs".
100 cops jerking out their guns 100 times in 100 cities is 1 million chances
for some "jerk-off" cop to shoot someone (oops).
1 tenth of one percent of 1 million is 1,000;
that's about how many people are killed by cops in the USofA every year.
MOST bad shoots are preceded by "jerk-off" cops jerking out their guns
for no good reason,
just itching to shoot someone.
"Our job is not law enforcement; it's social control. We're hire to come to Durham to
patrol the inner city, keep people in their place and go home after our tour of duty."
"Ah don' lahk yew, boy." "Yew don' blong' heah." -As cops have told me.
Living, working and tutoring kids in Durham's "Target Areas" has made me a target.
SOME OF the most dangerous people with guns are cops and soldiers.
Police chiefs in places like Durham where use-of-force searches against PEDESTRIANS
by greedy cops looking for drugs and money are undocumented
have no clue which of their cops are "jerk-offs" or
armed robbers.
@chuckde424 - We also had a section in the physical paper on things that the legislature was considering doing but didn't, which touched on a few things you mentioned. That's now online.
You can bet the NC Sheriffs' Association will endorse Newton. There are few to the right of them and the groups leader, Sam Page, is a textbook example of a brown shirt.
@Goaglen, Just ignore Tony D. He's The Indy's resident left-wing troll. Every time he comments he drops swear words and hate towards conservatives and Republicans and fails to put forth any rational ideas. All he does is sputter. If you read his comment history you'll see he previously fantasized about someone being raped. He's a sick man.
As to the issue of fracturing for gas and oil deposits, this rag and the opposition to the practice deny science and fifty years of experience in other parts of the country. They spread fear and lies for the most part, and emphasize a few incidents related to bad management, poor regulations, and non drilling accidents.
The party which claims to be for everybody does not want senior citizens warm in the winter paying less for heating and cooking fuel, or the lowest environmental impact of any fossil fuel available.
I was raised in an area where pressure fracturing was used and I remember none of these horror stories told to you by liars and thieves.
Tony D, How about a mutually beneficial deal? You get rid of the (what did you call our governor?) as***g in the White House and we'll consider our governor next fall. Our request is immediate, not next January. That includes a gag order on O************ ( I refuse to spell out any of my names for him)
That's called Tit-for-Tat.
As to your prejudice, you express a view demonstrating an allegiance so blind that even patient Job would refute your claim to righteousness. For every one discredit you find for Republicans, I will find at least two for Democrats. That is just in the boundaries of North Carolina mind you.
You could learn some manners online. But, then again, you are a Democrat. Se we should lower our expectations.
The continued attack on urban areas, generally not controlled by the governing party, would seem to be something that you might have mentioned. Derailing DOLRT, redistricting Wake county commissioners and school boards, taking the airport away from Charlotte, attempting to redistrict Asheville, and the effort to undermine business improvement districts -- which exist and thrive in every major city in the state.
Bonnie, this ridiculous position of the legislature to undue the rigorous decade of work that had been done by the NCDOT, GoTriangle, and the USDOT, experts in this field, has only been confirmed for week or so. Our elected officials are seeking ways to come up with the difference. My bet is that they do find the money but the question is whether we loose our place in line with the federal government and that the project gets delayed -- likely to result in greater cost. While the half cents sales tax was designed to generate the 25% local match, I understand that its actually generating more like 30-35% of the needed funding. So the gap created by this action by the State legislature may be less than $100 million -- Think about it this away, assuming my math is correct, we may be just a mile away from being able to accomplish this project. In these early days, the answer is not clear but clearly its also not over.
The funding limitation actually will impact any technology that we use and will impact Wake county as well as Durham-Orange. So this is not an LRT issue or an attack on Durham. Its an attack on urban living in NC. The legislature does not want to fund the needed infrastructure in Urban areas even where the development and growth of urban areas is the economic engine of the state. Over 40% of the tax base of the state is in the Triangle. Yet they have no problem spending $600 million for the Bonner Bridge to the outer banks that will be crowded two days week for three months per year. Uban infrastructure is so important to this state. My faith is in our local elected officials.
The people in that part of the county have the right to deny zoning. They do not want it. That was evident at the public hearings held there.
The statement that the referendum was held symbolically in the last general election has nothing to do with the will of the people on this issue. The reason that Chatham is the only divided county in North Carolina is that the people decided to do it that way in the real referendum ca 1980 when zoning was first introduced.
The job of the commissioners is to listen to the people who live here, were raised here, work here, and obey their wishes. Their job is not to foist off on those residents their own personal agendas, the way they want to rule the unclean masses, the ignorant ones.
Further, The use of Hillary's logo superimposed over the flag of the state of North Carolina is not only optimistic, it fortells how that administration will rule over NC.
Good overview article. Top 5 can't begin to cover the damage of the NCGA . Also in the last weeks of work for the legislature was bill to allow concealed carry withOUT a permit, blocking funding for schools and roads for 1-2 years for Sanctuary Cities at the sole discretion of the State Atty Gen (I can only assume they believe that will become a R after Nov).
And that it was not the people's voices heard with regards to HB2 but the NBA's speaks loud and clear- now we must rely on sports, music and entertainment to protect our rights and if that isn't a failure of the State, I don't know what is.
After 3 years in marriage with my Husband with a kid, my husband started going out with other ladies and showed me cold love, on several occasions he threatens to divorce me if I dare question him about his affair with other women, I was totally devastated and confused until a friend told me about a spell caster who help people with their relationship and marriage problem by the powers of love spells, at first I doubted if such thing ever exists but decided to give it a try, when I contact him and told him my problem, he helped me cast a love spell and after 24hours my husband came back to me and started apologizing and ever since the spell cast, he has stopped going out with ladies and he is with me for good and for real. Contact this great spell caster for your relationship or marriage problem at email@example.com.......
To Mr. Mortimer: Yes, a retention election is probably less a function of partisan politics than regular election contests, but before they can be held in North Carolina, it seems to me that North Carolina's Constitution should be amended. The poor thing is battered enough by rogue judicial injuries against it, as it is.
I have seen injury piled on injury against NC's Constitution. Some of these appellate judges ought to conspire among themselves to uphold it for a change.

DUNCAN, Okla. (AP) - A man and woman walked away uninjured from an emergency landing near Duncan after their airplane lost power.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the man told investigators he and his mother were flying over property they own in Stephens County when the plane's engine lost power Sunday afternoon.
Investigators say he tried to glide into a field but clipped a fence then when he hit the soft ground the landing gear collapsed.
The names of the two were not released but FAA records show the plan is registered to Donald Holloway of Edmond.

Airports operator BAA is to be forced to table a new resolution at its annual meeting in July which, if passed, would compel the company to seek shareholder approval for all major investments, such as new runways.
The resolution, which will be forced on BAA by rebel investors from the Stop Stansted Expansion campaign, seeks to introduce a new provision in the articles of the company.
It would require the directors to obtain shareholder approval before proceeding with any investment whose "aggregate cost" – covering all phases of a project and adjusted for inflation – exceeded 50pc of shareholders' funds.
BAA, which owns seven UK airports including Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, had shareholders' funds of £5.18billion at its most recent results for the half-year to September 30. Such a change to the articles would compel BAA to obtain permission for projects such as the mooted £4billion second runway at Stansted.
The resolution would compel BAA to seek shareholder approval for such projects when the company made a planning application.
The rebel investors are the same group which last year forced BAA to hold a vote on its long-standing practice of giving free car parking passes to MPs. After the agm vote highlighted significant opposition, BAA agreed to end the free passes.
The rebels require signatures from 100 BAA shareholders holding an average of 100 shares each to compel the company to table the resolution.
Yesterday, Brian Ross, economics adviser to the Stop Stansted campaign, said getting the signatures was a formality. "That's not an issue and BAA knows we'll get the signatures," he said. "The essence of the 50pc rule is this: if management want to bet half the shop on a single throw of the dice, they need to obtain shareholder approval."
Mr Ross asked BAA last month if it might, in principle, be willing to put forward such a resolution and, last Friday, met BAA company secretary Rachel Rowson and corporate affairs director Ian Hargreaves. He did not, however, disclose the proposed percentage of shareholders' funds at which investor approval would be required.
Yesterday he said: "Although the board of directors of BAA have so far not been persuaded, on reflection they may come to recognise that the 50pc rule would be useful in resisting government pressure to compromise on shareholder value in the public interest."
He said the BAA management are "coming under pressure from the Government" to deliver new airport capacity, some of which may benefit "UK plc" but "would not be in the interest of BAA shareholders".
He believed Stansted was such a case. Its current return on capital, he said, was just 4pc and "major expansion of Stansted airport would be likely to destroy shareholder value".
The Civil Aviation Authority, the industry regulator, has told BAA it must not subsidise expansion of Stansted by raising prices at Heathrow and Gatwick, while any such move would leave the company facing legal challenges from Heathrow-based airlines.
Last night, Mr Hargreaves said BAA was yet to see the final resolution. "On the face of it, it would be surprising to me that it was a welcome idea that the directors should be fettered in making judgments about the capital expenditure of the group in developing our own airports. I have never heard anything like that before."

The Eagles had led 2-0 at half-time courtesy of goals from debutants Tom Ince and Joe Ledley before West Brom's own new man Thievy Bifouma pulled a goal back at the start of the second half.
The visitors then pushed on for an equaliser and saw James Morrison and Scott Sinclair bring the best out of Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni before Foy made the game's biggest decision.
Marouane Chamakh was played through on goal and the on-rushing Ben Foster slid in to tackle the Morocco international, with Foy deeming the England goalkeeper had committed a foul before pointing to the spot.
He decided against showing a card to Foster, who was then sent the wrong way by Chamakh.
Pulis, who saw his side move to 13th in the table with the win, said: "Looking back it looks as though the referee has got it right.
"Ben has caught him with his foot I think, Marouane touches it away and then Ben comes through and I think it is his momentum that catches Chamakh."
Pulis handed debuts to Ledley, Ince and Scott Dann and was pleased with their contributions - challenging them to add greater depth to his squad.
"I think the biggest thing about Tom if you look at what he did today was actually his work and the way he did all the unglamorous stuff that all good players do," Pulis added.
"We are pleased for him, Dann and Ledley, the big thing for the team is that the players who have been at the football club have done exceptionally well.
"Tom took his goal with aplomb. We have been moaning a little bit that we haven't scored enough from set-plays and Joe's header was first-class.
"The players we brought in they have to work as hard and have that little bit more quality but I'm pleased for the group, it is the group who have taken us where we are at the moment and it will be the group that decides whether we are good enough to stay in the Premier League or not."

Barring a Martian invasion, it seems certain that longtime community activist Joan Garner will be the next member of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners. Her campaign war chest resembles the gross domestic product of a small island nation, her list of endorsements reads like a who's who of Atlanta movers and shakers, and her resume — including stints leading gay advocacy groups, granting organizations and various other do-gooder nonprofits — could overload a computer hard drive.
In short, Garner is the very model of a qualified candidate who's paid her dues.
Too bad all that experience and a career's worth of building connections may soon be sucked into a black hole of political dysfunction.
To say that the Fulton Commission is a toxic waste dump of wasted potential and shattered ideals is like saying Rod Blagojevich has a soft spot for TV cameras.
Why is it so easy to become cynical about the governing board of Georgia's largest county?
Well, for starters, the Commission is more entrenched than the Kaiser's artillery corps. The only reason Garner and three other Democratic candidates entered the District 6 race is because incumbent Nancy Boxill committed an aberrant act completely out of keeping with the accepted standards of her office: She decided to retire.
Boxill, who represents central and eastern Atlanta, isn't stepping down to run for another post or being forced out by criminal indictment — historically, the two most popular reasons for leaving the Fulton Commission (no joke there; that's just a fact) — but is simply calling it a day after 23 years in office.
All seven Commission seats are up for re-election in 2010, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the July 20 primary ballot, where the only contest is to fill Boxill's open seat.
In the far Republican end of the county, departing Commissioner Lynne Riley — running for a state House seat — has effectively awarded her own District 3 post to a hand-picked successor, Johns Creek City Councilwoman Liz Hausmann, who drew no challengers.
Likewise, in Sandy Springs, Tom Lowe — already the longest-serving elected official in Georgia — is running unopposed for his tenth four-year term, despite the fact that, at 81, his meeting attendance has become increasingly spotty.
The two South Fulton district commissioners, Emma Darnell and Bill Edwards, also are skating to re-election unmolested, while the two at-large members, Robb Pitts and Chairman John Eaves, each have little-known Republican opponents they won't have to face until November.
But let's face it: The last time an incumbent Fulton commissioner failed to win re-election to his seat was in 1986. As elected offices go, it's the closest thing metro Atlanta has to a lifetime appointment.
The Commission is also hindered by its overly democratic structure, occupying the opposite end of the spectrum from DeKalb, where the powerful CEO runs day-to-day operations and can veto commission decisions.
In Fulton, the Commission chairman presides over meetings and sits on a few regional boards, but has no more say over county policy — from setting the budget to hiring personnel to deciding where to build senior centers — than a district commissioner. In essence, he's a glorified parliamentarian who is doomed to ineffectiveness by the constraints of the position.
The result has been elected officials who treat themselves like royalty — complete with chauffeured car service in past years — because there's no one to make them behave.
Even as close to 90 percent of the county's real estate has incorporated into new cities or been annexed into existing ones as residents strive to put political distance between themselves and the Commission, the board continues to reject suggestions that it needs to reform or radically downsize county government.
It's not uncommon for the part-time commissioners to maintain a four-member staff and multiple offices at a total annual cost of more than $400,000, even though they no longer deal with the zoning issues that once generated a bulk of constituent concerns.
During the recent economic downturn, commissioners have managed to balance the county budget largely by pulling about $100 million from reserve funds. Only this year did the Commission take a tentative stab at making some painful decisions about cutting programs and staff.
Sit in on any Commission meeting and you're likely to see members belittling county staffers; offering grandstanding but ultimately irrelevant resolutions; complaining about the management of Grady Memorial Hospital, MARTA and other agencies; sniping openly at each other; and, most notably, protecting their own political turf.
Some, like Darnell, continue to fight the civil-rights battles of 30 years ago against perceived oppressors. Edwards specializes in lashing out at would-be reformers as racists. Eaves, well-meaning and endlessly patient, is impotent in his inability to rein in his colleagues. Lowe, long a confirmed cynic where the board is concerned, is content to engage in the few fights he knows he can win.
Granted, the presumed future members, Garner and Hausman, will bring new blood to the Commission. But this calcified fossil of a board can't be saved by a mere transfusion. What it needs is wholesale organ transplant and maybe a bionic limb or two — courtesy of a structural overhaul that can only be performed by the General Assembly.
If the past two decades are any indication, change is unlikely to come to the Fulton Commission from within.
