Don't tear an acl please.
Should be right up his alley. No blocking.
if he can line up and play football and win for entitled unappreciative fans hes probably tough enough to play a recreational game of soccer for himself....
I never heard him once use his ribs as an excuse....if you did please direct me to the source
:laugh2:Ok maybe you're right.
Haha now that was funny
So the next time Romo is sacked, does this mean he'll be looking around for a red card?
Last i heard he missed the game winning PK.
Choked once again...
I wonder if the guys in the league teased him about what went down a couple weeks ago???
It seems Romo isnt letting his choke job get in the way of his offseason routine. Which means, Pebble Beach in February!!!! WHOOO HOOO.
Yeah he's ready for golf!
I used to play there before I left Dallas, a buddy of mine still does and has played against him before.
I wonder if Tony lives in the HP/Uptown area or somewhere in the northern suburbs.
I heard that when he threw in the ball, that it was intercepted.
Gemini Dolly's twitter
QB Tony Romo has played 4 "Win or Go Home" games since 2008 (includes 2 playoff gms) -- in 3 of them, his QBR was less than 20"
What exactly is the point of this statement? What the 4th game was too good of a stat that would skew the cherry picked ones? The last six games were win or go home wanna include those QBR's? Peyton Manning has lost six first round playoff games. So what? Every QB plays win or go home games except for the Super Bowl winner.
Maybe it's me. Maybe I should just let it go and consider the sources of some of these posts.
No they weren't.
tony has his fair share of choke jobs....this is true.
however, what about the times when he gets us the lead or tie late in games, but our D just gives the W away....that our Tony takes us down for the tying or winning FG and our Kicker misses.....and yet, Tony still gets the blame for these moments.
looks like he's having fun. What jerk wouldn't be OK w/ this?
That would explain the multiple redskin fans on here every day.
Well then, I guess everything equals out. He gives and he takes. As many miracles as he works, he dishes out devastation that causes the same amount of disbelief. You want to fly like that? 8-8? I don't. I gave up on "Boy Wonder" a long time ago. He is entertainment. He is not the answer.
Soccer doesn't have an OL either so it great practice for him.
No he lives off McArthur Blvd in Irving, near the Four Seasons hotel.

Abrazo Health has announced a new education series aimed at helping Arizonans navigate through the complex topic of healthcare reform and insurance reform programs. Abrazo Health will hold a series of free community events in November to answer questions about health care reform, Medicaid Expansion, and the new Health Insurance Marketplace and the potential benefits to individuals and their families. The education sessions will be offered in both English and Spanish.
Crystal Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of Maryvale Hospital, an Abrazo Health hospital, says, "Because this community will be greatly affected by these changes, we are intent on helping individuals and their families understand this complex topic and their options." Hamilton adds, "The complexity of the Affordable Care Act, insurance reforms and all that comes with it can be a slippery slope so Abrazo wants to make sure our community members are well-informed in order to make the best decisions for themselves and their families."
The sessions are scheduled for the following dates at Maryvale Community Center at 4420 N. 51st Ave. in Phoenix:
· Wednesday, November 6 at 11am – 2pm
· Thursday, November 7 at 6pm – 9pm
Residents can register online at AbrazoHealth.com/ReformEvent or by calling 1-855-292-9355.

Orlando Bloom & Miranda Kerr announce their separation
(Yahoo!) - The bloom is off the rose. After three years of marriage, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr are going their separate ways.
A rep for Bloom confirmed the split to E! News late Thursday night. "In a joint statement, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have announced that they have been amicably separated for the past few months. After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation."
The statement continued, "Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family."
The 36-year-old British actor, who is currently appearing on Broadway in "Romeo and Juliet," and the 30-year-old Australian model began dating in 2007. They tied the knot in July 2010 and welcomed their only child, son Flynn, in January 2011.
The couple has been plagued by breakup rumors over the years, so we were happy to see them photographed appearing openly affectionate and looking closer than ever at the opening of Bloom's "Romeo and Juliet" on Broadway on September 19. At the time we remarked that the couple, "who are so rarely spotted at public events together (the last was an Oscars party!), broke tradition and mugged for the cameras practically draped over each other."
However, according to their own timeline, they were already separated at that point. Kerr also kept any troubles at home a secret when being interviewed for the November cover story in Cosmopolitan magazine.
"I'm not the boss like I am at work — I slip into a more feminine role," she said of their home life together. "I take everything off and put on my Stella McCartney silk robe. I'll put on a red lip or red nails, and it lifts my mood. Sexy underwear also gives you a spark. I collect underwear from my travels. Lace, lingerie, bodysuits ... they're like souvenirs."

His mother Kourtney Kardashian was busy having her third baby at the hospital, so Mason Disick had to rely on his famous Aunt Kim Kardashian to make is fifth birthday one to remember.
Taking advantage of a rare day off, Kim Kardashian treated her adorable nephew Mason Disick to a screening of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in Calabasas, California on Tuesday (August 19).
Following the trip to the cinema, the "Disaster Movie" dame took her little buddy over to a nearby Barnes and Noble bookstore to pick up a TMNT book.
Having a little St. Patrick's Day fun, Khloe Kardashian spent the holiday with her favorite little man, nephew Mason Disick.
Goofing around, the youngest Kardashian sister was laying on the ground being videotaped when the 4-year-old unexpectedly ran up behind her and whacked her with what appears to be a red hat.
Getting in some quality time with his little guy Mason Disick, Scott Disick ran a few errands in Beverly Hills on Friday (January 31).
The father-of-two sported a green shirt and light washed jeans as he and his adorable son dropped by Barneys New York clothing store.
Making the most of their Sunday afternoon, Kourtney Kardashian and her longtime boyfriend Scott Disick took their kiddos out for a delicious meal in Calabasas, California.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" stars looked relaxed, having just returned from a Mexican vacation, as they strolled up to Sugarfish sushi restaurant while shutterbugs looked on.
They've worked hard all year, so it's only fitting that the Kardashian Family is ending 2013 with a private vacation.
They're never short on style, and the Kardashian Family just released their Christmas Card for the 2013 Holiday Season.
New mom Kim Kardashian proves that she hasn't lost any of her sex appeal, showing off her stunning curves in a cleavage-baring Yves Saint Laurent dress.
Out with the little ones in Long Beach, CA, Kourtney Kardashiantook her kids, Mason and Penelope Disick to the Aquarium of the Pacific today (November 15).
The 34-year-old pushed Penelope in the stroller, with a happy Mason walking alongside his mommy. Kourtney was dressed in a white sweater, sporting sexy black yoga pants and matching brown and black boots.

Shopping for Auto Insurance
Shopping for auto insurance isn't much different from shopping for anything else. Your goal is to find a quality product that suits your needs--and at a good price. Here are some guidelines to help get you started.
Get your ducks in a row
Before you start shopping around, lay some groundwork. Your first step is to figure out what you need for coverage. To a certain extent, you don't have a choice--most states require you to carry minimum levels of liability coverage. Many states also require you to have certain amounts of medical payments and/or uninsured motorist coverages. Other types of coverage (e.g., collision coverage for your vehicle and extra endorsements) are generally optional. Find out what your state's requirements are, but realize that these minimums probably won't provide adequate protection, especially in the area of liability coverage. The types and amounts of coverage you should have really depend on your circumstances. Some factors to consider are the assets you wish to protect, the value of your car, your family status, and whether you live in a state with no-fault insurance laws.
Size up the coverage you have now
If you're buying a new car, you may be starting from scratch with your insurance shopping. But what if you currently own a car and already have insurance on it? Then you should first look at the coverage you have in place now and decide if it still meets your auto insurance needs. Maybe it did at one time, but things have changed since you bought the policy. Or maybe you simply chose the wrong types and amounts of coverage to begin with. Even if your coverage still seems appropriate, are you pleased with the insurance company? Does the premium seem reasonable, or do you suspect that you could get a better deal elsewhere?
A thorough review of your coverage and related issues will help you answer these types of questions. You may decide that it's best to keep your existing policy and just change your coverage limits or make other adjustments--or maybe nothing needs to be changed. If so, it may be unnecessary to explore other options. But don't stick with what you have just to avoid a tough choice--it's often wise to shop the market and check out what other companies can offer you. It may be in your best interest to make a change if you can find a lower price, better service, or both.
To seek help or not to seek help?
How do you want to shop for auto insurance? One option is to shop on your own by using on-line quote services or by dealing with insurance companies that sell directly to consumers. You may save money by cutting out the middleman, but this approach has its drawbacks. An on-line service or a company's customer service representative will give you a price quote, but you may not get much advice about your coverage needs, appropriate deductibles, and other issues. Plus, with so many companies and policies to choose from, it's hard to be sure that you're really getting the best deal.
Your other option is to work with an insurance agent or broker. Among other things, a good agent or broker can help you (1) figure out the types and amounts of coverage you need, (2) shop the market for companies and policies, (3) identify the policy that's best for you, and (4) tailor your policy by adding extra features (known as endorsements). All of this can save you a lot of legwork and maximize your chances of finding the right policy at a good price. Plus, if you choose the right person, the relationship will pay long-term dividends. The service duties of an agent or broker include filing claims, resolving complaints, and updating your coverage if needed.
Shop for value, not price
Whether you're shopping alone or with professional help, your goal is the same--to get the best overall value for your money. Sounds easy enough, but many unsophisticated consumers make the mistake of shopping for price alone. They assume that if they can find the lowest-priced policy that meets their needs, they've gotten the best deal. The problem with this approach is that it ignores other important issues. If you're not careful, a so-called great deal on auto insurance could come back to haunt you.
To find the best value, you have to balance cost against coverage and service. Once you know what you need for coverage, obtain price quotes from at least three different insurance companies. Don't be surprised if some of the quotes vary by quite a bit. You can eliminate any that are out of your price range, but it will take some work to narrow down the rest. Try to find out about each company's reputation and claims-paying practices. For example, does the company frequently deny or delay customer claims? You should also see if the company offers the discounts and endorsements you want. Finally, read each policy over to make sure that the exclusions, limitations, and other features are similar.
Don't be afraid to pay a little more for coverage if you find a company you really like. Over the long haul, quality service and other intangibles may be more important than saving a few bucks. If you're lucky, you may even find that a good company's rates are competitive with those of cut-rate insurers.

Mites are tiny microorganisms with features no different to those of any insect in complexity that possess an exceptionally detailed and complex structure, and are just 5 to -50 microns in size, visible only under the microscope. They live everywhere, in every corner of your home, in the bed you sleep in, the carpets on the floor, the air you breathe, wherever you spend your life. These entities, resembling tiny fat spiders, cover every square centimeter of our environment.
These arachnids feed on dead skin cells, which is why they are found wherever humans are present and are spread about by means of human activity, to where their feeding materials collect—generally beds and pillows, furniture and carpets.
No doubt the fact that human beings cannot see them under normal conditions, is an example of Allah's wise Creation. They are present in such great numbers that even in your bed, no matter how clean it may be, there will be an average of 10,000 of them. Yet they do not bite, or sting or spread diseases. They do no harm, so long as you are not allergic to the proteins they produce.
However, they do, harm some other species. In fact, they can wipe out a bee colony in which they live as parasites, by piercing a bee's exoskeleton and sucking out their bodily fluids. They are able to injure many insects, animals and plants in the same way; yet still others provide various benefits. For example, mites cause insect pests to die or fall ill, and the waste products they produce also increase soil fertility. Some parasitize many animals species, living in their ear canals, lungs and intestines.
During their life cycles, mites go through four stages; egg, larva, nymph and adult. This period between egg and adulthood lasts for about one month. The female egg-laying population increases by up to 25-30 times a week. Adult mites molt once and can live for up to two months, depending on environmental moisture levels and temperature.
Mites do not drink water, but absorb moisture from the air and their environment. Therefore, they prefer quite high levels of humidity, 70 to 80%, and temperatures around 270C When they find such a suitable environment, they can increase their numbers enormously. For example, there may be up to 6 million members in half a hectare of cultivated soil.
Mites are important cleansers
In the environments in which mites live, there is household dust, fabric threads, particles of human and animal skin, shed hairs, bacteria, mould spores, food particles and other organic and synthetic substances. Mites feed on these, which is why they live in such close proximity to human beings. From that perspective, you can see that a great portion of these tiny arachnids help clean up the world, eliminating the scales, secretions, dusts, fungal spores, pollen and plant fibers that constitute their diet.
The mites around us to perform this function are really very numerous. There are roughly 1,000 mites in one teaspoonful (1 gram) of house dust.107 These large numbers of mites are constantly active, engaging in highly effective cleaning. Were it not for mites, these micro-wastes would grow every day, until the Earth became uninhabitable.
Some mites benefit their surroundings still further, even though they are unaware of the fact. For example, mites of the species Pyemotes tritici generally multiply on stored cereals, dried beans and peas, in haylofts, and dried grass. They are highly useful to farmers because they paralyze and eliminate insects that feed on stored cereals and similar products.
Mites behave consciously
In difficult situations, mites display methods of protecting themselves. Clover mites, for instance, enter hibernation when the winter or summer climate does not suit them. When they realize that temperatures are above or below the interval they need to live, they slow down some of their metabolic functions and go to sleep. Now in suspended animation, these living things are unaffected by the conditions around them. When the temperature returns to an favorable level, they return to their former state and resume their lives.
Some mites use their insect and arthropod hosts to transport them to different locations. Mites of the species Dinogamasus for example live in a special sac on the stomachs of certain bees and can thus easily go to the sites they wish and where they can find food.108 In order for this process to take place, such a sac must first be specially created for mites in the bee's stomach. The mites in turn must be aware of this and think of using it as a means of transport. These arthropods lack the intellect to arrive at such a mutual agreement, and under normal circumstances, they should not sense the need for any such thing.
This and similar examples in nature are clear proof that everything in the world has a single, superior Creator. Everything functions in the manner set out by Allah, with His permission and according to the destiny determined by Him. "There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock" (Surah Hud, 56).
In another verse, it is revealed:
That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but Him, the Creator of everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything. (Surat al-An'am, 102)

So it looks like the old school magnetic MagSafe charger
This will just look ridiculous on my dock now :/ plugging it in with the headphone jack rather than the dock connector :/ hope they's a part you can buy that let's you connect it as you would with original iPhones, iPod, etc.
So now I'll have to have to add one more cable to my iMac, and a third charger to my room that only has two outlets...Not that this is a bad change, just seems unnecessary
Yeah I don't think the headphone jack for iPod touch was so people could determine iPod touch to iPhones. Anyways there's been word yes it will be on bottom of the phone. Apples dock has/will have a headphone jack on the dock so your not moving far. Also the headphone jack for iPhone 5. Just think if you had headphones in your pocket the cord would be upside down in your pocket. For people who put phones in their pocket right side up they gotta maneuver the phone around when they take it out. Instead this time the cord isn't bending and you can grab your phone as you please
if this is a "redesign" it will suck. simply making the phone taller with some modifications to the bottom doesn't sound like a big change to me...

So much for OBY waving his wad, um hand, on falling oil prices
Remember Galen's thread about OBY waving his hand and gas prices
come down. If not, scroll down several threads and you will see it.
Here's the real reasons why gas prices are falling and it has nothing to
do with his wad, I mean hand.
I paid as much as $4 and filled up this week at $3.61. Whippee.

Anyone with half a brain realizes the president can't do anything of the sort. Anyone with half a brain also realizes that the president had very very little real power compared to Congress.
Keep hating on Obama. He's clearly the issue not our asinine no term limit Congress and lack of accountability on capitol hill. regardless of how this election turns out, I can't wait for nothing to change. When it happens, it'll somehow be his fault.

Re: So much for OBY waving his wad, um hand, on falling oil prices
Oh Galen - It did get to $6 in California and almost $6 in Florida. It was Gore who suggested the gov't let it go to $5.
Don't worry about us Galen. You need to worry about the country which you never do.
You never served. Never did anything.
The country won't be able to stand it. In his first term he already hurt the coal and fishing
industry not the mention the auto, banks (hundreds closed) and oil industries. Add on the insurance industry when the gov't will be the sole insurer for OBAMA CARE if it's not struck down.
He'll finish it off the next term even telling the Ruskies on tape he'll get it done with
them in reference to dismantling our nukes taking them back to 1953 levels.
He'll finish killing the coal industry which is our greatest resource. We have more of it
than anyone and he shut down many plants with 106 plants on his hit list for closure.
He's doing the same to the oil industry and fishing limiting number of fish guys can
haul in.

Re: So much for OBY waving his wad, um hand, on falling oil prices
We've posted many links on this before you suddenly showed up.
OBY even brought prices down some last year when it hit $4 by releasing the reserves.
We've posted links on that before you suddenly showed up.
This year he hasn't tried to do anything because he wants prices to go up to European
The falling prices are going vs his plan.
This is the last time I'm responding to you kid. Now why don't you jump back in the
sand box and come back when you've grown up and paid for something.

Drilling does not lower gas prices. It's been shown in countless studies. It's controlled almost entirely by speculators. Gas prices went down because of our massive economic recession which lowered confidence and therefore brought down the price of oil barrels. Oil prices went up again for the same reason-speculation.
That's the OPEC telling everyone why gas prices are high. Simply put, nothing Obama can do is going to have any or real impact on the market. It's entirely in the hands of speculators.
Edit: while we're here why don't you check out www.mediamatters.org/iphone/research/201204120005 ? It talks all about this issue and the misinformation in both sides of the media spectrum (although as usual fox creates most of it. You don't watch fox news do you? :P)

Re: So much for OBY waving his wad, um hand, on falling oil prices
fact they met at Harvard and got their degrees, then they
got married and had kids.
That's just one of the many lies you said that I exposed. See above links proving you wrong when you said gas was supposed to go to $6 but didn't but it actually did in some parts of the country. That doesn't count all of OBYs lies criticizing Mitt for being rich when he is a
millionaire himself. He earned his millions in community organizing and publishing books
and the DEMs ran their own rich guys in Kerry and Kennedy who was born into one of the
wealthiest families in the country. The Kennedys still get 50% for every glass and bottle
of scotch and gin drank in this country that comes from the UK. FDR lived off his inheritance like in the best house in the best section of Boston when he went to Harvard when everyone else lived in small dorms before he became Prez. All those liberal lies keep us on our toes.
What a hypocrite. You're the shrink who comes in here every day spitting hate and name
calling us just for disagreeing and Bush for the war and this while praising OBY for his war. That is so unprofessional that even your own profession says you have the common sense of a dog.
You spitted out a hatred on Palin almost every day for months displaying your
bigotry to women, same with others like Bachman and Angle when they ran, so don't talk to us about discrediting OBY. Besides, he's destroying the country. He's destroying the coal, oil
fishing, auto, banking industries not to mention capitalism itself while completing
destroying the constitution with the mandate on OBY CARE and attacking individual's
rights of free speech.
Pelosi has even said doing away with the 2d Amendment is on their agenda.
No other shrink has time to go on message boards with frivi opinions. They're too busy
saving people.

Bigness is the bane of any creative or responsive activity, and publishing is no exception.
Two years later, Ghesquière was promoted to creative director and the renaissance began.
He set a goal to work as an assistant to legendary Allure creative director Polly Mellen, which he achieved.
Abbas said the talks produced more "creative ideas" than any in the past.
She considers it a crucial part of the creative process, one that should be handled with care.
He held that view throughout his creative life, as a great poet must.

Google apps No need to explain this I think. Google mail and calander are probably the most important apps I use every day. I would like to make the shift to google docs too, but it doesn't seem to render all documents very well.
Dropbox This is gold. Pure digital gold. Automatic online syncing with a folder on your pc/mac. This means you always have all your files, anywhere you go, on any pc/mac you touch.
Spotify Not directly work related, but it calms me All your mucis, anywhere you go. No more 100gb music libraries to cary around. No, just one app. Done.
What does this all mean for me? I no longer have to worry about data loss, or location. I can do my work at home or at work, in New York or Barcelona (I tested this ofcourse ;)) and take everything with me automaticly.
I probably forgot about a ton of them, but it's a start Let's hear your 'can't live without' apps!
Chrome – Fast no matter how many tabs I have open.
Espresso – gets all my web development work done. My favorite coding app.
Transmit – pretty damn solid FTP client. Truthfully, I don't use it that often, but when I do, it works well.
Photoshop – Need I say more?
Twitter for Mac – I just love it. Very friendly to use and looks good and updates instantly. Excellent.
Reeder – A huge time waster for me everyday. It's a RSS feed reader and a gorgeous one at that. I just can't resist the urge to click on the icon when there are new posts.
Wunderlist – I didn't like it at first, but now it's my go-to application to keep my tasks organized. And it syncs to the cloud and there's a web app as well.
Sparrow – Email. Looks good. Functions even better. What more could you want?
Skype – my chat application of choice, although it has its quirks sometimes…
Spotify – I can't work without music.
FolderWatch – Used to sync my web design/development folders with Dropbox before I got an external HDD and started using Time Machine.
VMware – Not that I particularly want to use it because it's just for testing IE, but it's hella amazing application.
Dropbox – A great cloud storage solution (available literally everywhere: Mac, PC, web, Android, etc)
Boom – Amplifies my MacBook Pro's (normally quiet) speakers
CloudApp – Lifesaver for quickly uploading an image. I just snap a screenshot with OS X 's built in screenshot feature, and it instantly uploads it with no input from me. Love it.
That's about it.

@AlexPascal That's one hell of a list! I did mean web-apps btw Still, thanks for sharing!
I forgot one important web-app I use daily:
Apollo (http://www.apollohq.com/) Easy project management with task lists, message boards etc. Love it! The interface is quite clean for all the options they offer, and they're also quite active when it comes to customer feedback.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Listen up, you primitive Barbary shitfucks! I, the secret Jesus of your sexual fantasies, the Lord High Headkicker Spider Jerusalem, am here to tell you about Transmetropolitan, an experience that should make every single one of you wastes of sperm shit yourselves in pleasure. Transmetropolitan is a comic book, unless you're one of those cowardly shitheels who call them graphic novels, written by the mad evil Buddha of the Internet, Warren Ellis, and it's every bit as fucking incredible as shooting up speedballs strong enough to give a whale motor neuron disease.
The main plot concerns me fighting for the Truth, bringing down presidents, tearing bad bastards apart, getting girls' panties soaking wet and generally being sexier than Zeus himself. Along the way I get drunk off my gorgeous tits and get so high I vanish from this shitty physical body and actually become drugs. Aren't you goddamn jealous? Along the way I'm helped by a tall blonde with industrial-grade cleavage and a pouty brunette girl who smokes like a reactor after a meltdown. They are my Filthy Assistants and they help me by fighting my enemies, doing my work and scooping up my rancid semen wherever it may fall. They have the best job known to man since Hazard Stew had a heart attack while beating Republicans into jelly.
Everything I do, write and inject in this series is amazing as fuck. Read it and you will agree.
edit Setting
Transmetropolitan is set in America, land of the brave, where men are free to eat powdered children, beat their wives and fuck polar bears with baseball bats. Not that we do any of that, you understand, we're too busy stuffing drugs in our ears and trying to remember what year it is. What a country. The majority of the awesome stuff I get up to takes place in The City, which you smart pissbags will probably work out is New York, you clever little ratfuckers, you. The City is like every worst nightmare Hieronymus Bosch ever had stuffed to the gills with mutants, transvestites, things that have sex with car exhaust pipes and the most savage type of debauched goings-on you could ever jack off to. I fucking hate it here. I fucking hate it so much that my column is called I Hate It Here, and if you ever ask me why I don't just drop it all and leave I will fuck you in the ass with a bowel disruptor.
The City has a whole bunch of different things going on, and a sense of morality that amounts to the square root of fuck-all, to the extent you could cover your arm in illegal drugs and stick your fist up your own ass without anyone giving a shit. Most of The City is far, far into the future, with weird technology and huge screens everywhere advertising pornography, but it has a few tranquil parks scattered around. There's also the reservations, where we stick people who are too scared of the high-tech and generally cleverer-than-fuck lifestyle we have going on. These poor bastards stick themselves in some walled-off corner of The City that's made up to be like any one of a number of lost civilisations, and then they live there. Forever. Until they die. And nine chances out of ten the retarded baby-eaters who live in The City don't even know they exist.
There's a much nicer spot as well, you get to see it at the start of the series when I'm covered from fuckball to eyeball in body-hair. It's called The Mountain. It's gorgeous in a way your shitty City eyes can never understand, except for the smoking ruin of that bar I destroyed back in issue one. [1] I want to be back there so much it hurts.
edit Plot Summary
I, Spider Jerusalem, am happily living up a mountain taking drugs and jacking off over slash fiction of The Bible. It's all going swimmingly until I get a call from The Whorehopper, a piece of publishing scum I should have wiped off my shoe years ago, demanding two more books. Since I've run out of money I seem to have little choice. I head on back down to The City and start having a poke around, which ends in me stopping a riot. No big deal.
From there I spend a bit of time checking out The City, getting back on my feet, looking for the Truth, and then things start to get serious. It's election year, and the lizard-raping shitheel The Beast is running against some rubbery axe wound called The Smiler. I interview them both. They are both unbelievable cunts high as fuck on the smell of their own shit, so I expose them for this like the good little journalist I am (well, I expose The Smiler, everyone already knows The Beast is worth less than the rag you wipe your mother's vaginal mucus up with). This gets my friend Vita killed. No, I'm not going to fucking talk about that. Fuck off.
The Smiler wins the election, but I am fully armed and ready to rhinocerous my way over his bloody corpse. Not long after the election, a young guy called Rory Lockwood is beaten to death in a hate crime, and the attackers leave his bloody, mangled corpse in an alley for anyone to find. The snakes who did it get caught, detained...and then released without charge, ticking off quite a few of the New Scum (that's you, me, the folk in The City, basically anyone who isn't primarily interested in directly fucking with the lives of other people) and inciting a riot that ends with the police shooting a crowd of people dead and the government banning me from talking about it. It's quickly becoming apparent that our President is not only an ass of the highest order, he's turning out to be genuinely insane.
After squirming like a child being fed cocaine for a bit, I decide enough is fucking enough. I dig up all the shit I can find on the President and his men, send it to my editor Royce, and have him publish it so every single one of you can read about the unbounded turbofuckness of our government. Then I go on the run and start publishing my work through an underground feedsite called The Hole, run by a cool Chinese-American woman called Qi and her fuck-buddy John, who let me say whatever the hell I want all the time, making the President increasingly angry and unbalanced, which makes me smile.
Right in the middle of Operation: Fuckwiththepresident The City gets hit by a storm of face-wrecking proportions. I get knocked out by the force of it, and when I come to I find that I have some weird disease that's eating my brain, but I resolve to carry on regardless. In the face of the President's refusal to actually fucking do anything about repairing the storm damage, we take our campaign up a notch and finally discover concrete proof that he fucked an alien hooker and had Vita killed to further his own campaign of dickheadedness. Goddamn, it's magnificent, and the beautiful New Scum of The City go right ahead and start their own fucking riot in return! Finally, I get to have a showdown with The Smiler, and the bastard gets arrested right in front of my eyes. Happy fucking birthday.
Since my brain is effectively dying, I head on back to the mountain to rot in peace. Y'see, only one percent of people who get what I have ever recover, so my odds are pretty grim.
Right at the end, of course, you find out I'm actually totally fine and using my weird brain as an excuse to have the Filthy Assistants look after me. One percent? Easy money. Spider Jerusalem: higher than Jesus, harder than Buddha and more right than Wikipedia.
edit Characters
edit Magnificent Bastards
Spider Django Heraclitus Jerusalem: I am the steaming fuckhead pile of Truth that's been shat into the middle of your lies. This story is all about me, and my constant crusade to smash some fucking sense into your stupidity-fuelled worthless lives, which I can achieve with my near Godlike status as the best writer in America. I grew up on the docks as a poor little boy, eating lizards and watching the incredible fuckery of our government, finding work as a stripper, a drug mule and a professional consultant in dog castration.
I believe in the Truth, something nobody else around here seems to do, so I use my journalist skills to make you, the moronic public who believe every fucking thing you read, listen to the Truth and believe in it as well. It's the best job in the world, especially when people try to kill me.
The Filthy Assistants: Yelena and Channon are my assistant and bodyguard, respectively, inbetween their bouts as high priestesses of the Unholy Temple to Spider's Penis. Yelena does most of the assisting, and ends up becoming a bit like me, mostly because the experience of being around my wonderful furious mind is too much to resist. Channon is hard as nails and spends a fair bit of time kicking the piss out of anyone who gets in my way.
At some point in the narrative (I forget when because I was all fucked up on horrible tasty drugs) I have sex with Yelena and the sheer power of my semen turns her into a super-bitch. I couldn't be prouder.
Royce: Royce "Two-Fisted" bastard editor is the wimpy bitch who runs The Word. Since this is the publication I write for, I have to put up with his severe sexual deviancy and constant demands of "where's my fucking column?" in order to make my quest for the Truth possible. He has an infection of tiny hyper-intelligent rats infesting his lower colon and regularly attempting to rape his pancreas. At least, that's what one of the sub-editors told me, before I tried to make him choke on partially digested monkey brains.
Vita: About the only bearable thing about politics is the fact you sometimes get someone with a half-decent sense of what's Right and doesn't also have shit for brains. Enter Vita, who works on The Smiler's campaign before his election. She at least tried to curtail that fuckers insanity, while the other guy on the campaign was too busy fucking kids, but it doesn't work. She gets killed by The Smiler. She gets killed because of me.
Oscar: Yelena's dad, who is lucky enough to look a little bit like me. He's a decent old bastard who lets us hole up in his house when the President is trying to have us all killed for discussing his sheer fuckery. The last we see of him is sharing a glass of wine with Lau Qi, another friend of the Truth, before the police come and try to arrest them.
edit Fuckheads and Vipers
The Beast: The President when the series starts. A huge, hulking pissflap of a man who likes nothing better than to jack off with his own shit into a burning copy of the constitution while five dozen Australian whores lick his sweat up and piss it out as whiskey. He gets voted out of power a third of the way through the story. Last I heard, he was running around the Alaskan wilderness trying to fuck wolves.
The Smiler: Bastard bastard bastard of all bastards who could give bastard lessons to the sickest bastard you know without breaking a bastard sweat. Elected to the Presidency after The Beast and quickly turns out to be a bastard. Before becoming President he has Vita killed, then once elected he orders too many deaths to count, including his own wife. I finally catch him out after getting proof that he stuck his flagging penis in an alien hooker, and the look on his face will keep me warm for many nights to come.
Fred Christ: Ex-band manager and general alien fuck. He causes suffering and misery wherever he goes by being a selfish asshole only concerned with how many things he can fit his dick in, but revenge comes in the form of the Chair Leg of Truth. His final act is to lead his alien 'followers' in a charge against the police. They all die, and he's the only one I'm not sorry about.
Joe Heller: Motherfucking Hitler with hate-juice pouring from his ears like the mad semen of a thousand KKK-friendly apes. He gets onto the winning team by growing a politician in a vat (I thought that's where they all came from) and selling him to the Smiler, clean record and all.
Alan Schact: Enormous peadophile.
And the Rest of Them: This series is filled with the kind of scum who stick hotdogs up their asses while vomiting over the Truth. These fucks are my mission, my crusade, to get them to stop shooting dolphin piss into their veins for five minutes and actually listen to something important. Every time I get one of these sub-human simian bastards to realise the damage they're doing, I get a little closer to my goal. You might be one of them yourself. In which case, I'm coming for you.
edit Major Themes
What do you think it is, you primitive assholes? What, too blunt for you? It's about power! It's about the limitless capacity of man to be incredibly fucked-up and inhumane and what happens when the little people try and fight back, or find a little bit of hope, or even just try to go about their day without being molested, shot, stabbed by ugly children or otherwise intruded with in any way, shape or form. Throughout the series we see first one President, then another, try and use the American people as cum rags, only for them to fight back when they finally get pushed too far. The first one just gets voted out, but The Smiler (basically a bag of pus, hate and coyote blood with a rubber mask on top) actually manages to get The City to riot and damn near burn itself to the ground. The lesson here is simple: if you treat my people like dicks then we will eventually get steaming hard and come after you, dripping primitive jism, throbbing with anger, and you can run and hide but eventually we will find you and fuck you in the brain.
On a similar note there's a message of hope, because whilst Warren Ellis may come across as a rampaging bull with raw fury pouring out of his ass, he's a human being like the rest of us, and that's kind of the point. The world might be run by uncaring, faceless babyfuckers who would rather fist a horse and eat what they find than do any actual good in the world, but underneath their Valhalla of dripping pus and hate there's us, all of us, and whether we're bastards or angels individually doesn't matter, because at least we're not them. We're us. All of us. Whether we want love, or money, or sex, or revenge, or friends, we can always remember that we've never screwed people over in the way they do to get what we want.
Although given the chance, most of us probably would.

Atrial fibrillation or flutterAuricular fibrillation; A-fib
Atrial fibrillation or flutter is a common type of abnormal heartbeat. The heart rhythm is fast and irregular in this condition.
When working well, the four chambers of the heart contract (squeeze) in an organized way.
The electrical signal that tells your heart to contract begins in an area called the sinoatrial node (also called the sinus node or SA node). These signals help your heart pump the right amount of blood for your body's needs.
In atrial fibrillation, the electrical impulse of the heart is not regular.
- Parts of the heart cannot contract in an organizedpattern.
- As a result, the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
In atrial flutter, the ventricles (lower heart chambers) may beat very rapidly, but in a regular pattern.
These problems can affect both men and women. They become more common with increasing age.
Commoncauses of atrial fibrillation include:
- Alcohol use (especially binge drinking)
- Coronary artery disease
- Heart attack or heart bypass surgery
- Heart failure or an enlarged heart
- Heart valve disease (most often the mitral valve)
- Hypertension
- Medicines
- Overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism)
- Pericarditis
- Sick sinus syndrome
You may not be aware that your heart is not beating in a normal pattern.
Symptoms may start or stop suddenly. This is because atrial fibrillation may stop or start on its own.
Symptoms may include:
- Pulse that feels rapid, racing, pounding, fluttering, irregular, or too slow
- Sensation of feeling the heart beat (palpitations)
- Confusion
- Dizziness, light-headedness
- Fainting
- Fatigue
- Loss of ability to exercise
- Shortness of breath
Exams and Tests
The health care provider may hear a fast heartbeat while listening to your heart with a stethoscope. Your pulse may feel fast, uneven, or both.
The normal heart rate is 60 - 100. In atrial fibrillation/flutter the heart rate may be 100 - 175. Blood pressure may be normal or low.
An ECG (a test that records the electrical activity of the heart) may show atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
If your abnormal heart rhythm comes and goes, you may need to wear a special monitor to diagnose the problem. The monitor records the heart's rhythms over a period of time.
- Event monitor
- Holter monitor (24-hour test)
- Implanted loop recorder
Tests to find heart disease may include:
- Echocardiogram (ultrasound imaging of the heart)
- Tests to examine the blood supply of the heart muscle
- Tests to study the heart's electrical system
Cardioversion treatment is used to get the heart back into a normal rhythm right away. There are two options for treatment:
- Electric shocks to your heart
- Drugs given through vein
These treatments may be done as an emergency, or planned ahead of time.
Daily medicines taken by mouth are used to:
- Slow the irregular heartbeat. These drugs may include beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and digoxin.
- Prevent atrial fibrillation from coming back. These drugs work well in many people, but they can have serious side effects. Atrial fibrillation returns in many people even while taking these medicines.
Blood thinners are medicines that are used to reduce the risk of developing a blood clot traveling in the body (such as a stroke). They include heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), apixaban (Eliquis), rivaroxaban (Xarelto), and dabigatran (Pradaxa).
These drugs increase the chance of bleeding, so not everyone can use them. Antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin or clopidogrel may also be prescribed. Your doctor will consider your age and other medical problems when deciding which drug is best.
A procedure called radiofrequency ablation can be used to destroy areas in your heart where the heart rhythm problems originate. You may need a heart pacemaker after this procedure.
All people with atrial fibrillation will need to learn how to manage this condition at home.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Treatment can often control this disorder. Many people with atrial fibrillation do very well.
Atrial fibrillation tends to return and get worse. It may come back even with treatment.
Clots that break off and travel to the brain can cause a stroke.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of atrial fibrillation or flutter.
Talk to your health care provider about steps to treat conditions that cause atrial fibrillation/flutter. Avoid binge drinking.

I am going to get a new computer as mine is getting a little slow and is relatively old.
Seen this, but would rather a Desktop or All-in-one computer.
The specs for a Laptop is pretty damn good and a big discount off the standard price. Apple equivalent is about £1500. An upgrade to the XPS17 with a few extras, 1TB Hard Drive and larger screen is £790 then 8% on Quidco
Thoughts? Anyone seen a better deal?
Happy Chrismas all!

Well we have nvidia-drivers in the backtrack repo which is what you should have used...
apt-get install nvidia-drivers
Hello, i just installed my nvidia display driver today i downloaded the 195.36.15 drivers and installed them this way: "sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.15-pkg1.run" the install went fine but when i tried to type startx it gave my this error:
Fatal Server error:
No Screens found
Giving up.
Xinit: Connection refused (errno111)
Unable to connect to the X Server.
Xinit: No such process (errno3):
X.org X server 1.5.2.
This is a fairly new install of backtrack so i am thinking it might be because i am running my 9800 GTX's in SLI? I'm also running 2 monitors so i disconnected my second one and i got the same error. I also tried "sudo fix-vesa" but it does not help.
- thanks for reading -
Well we have nvidia-drivers in the backtrack repo which is what you should have used...
apt-get install nvidia-drivers
Well i just got my install back by uninstalling the nvidia drivers and using "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". I did "apt-get Install nvidia-drivers" but i got this message: "The following packages have unmet dependencies, E: Broken Packages", i also tried apt-get update but it didn't work either.
Well i just got my nvidia drivers to work without breaking X, i just had to add the BuSID Lane to the Selection "Device" lines in my xorg.confg file. I've been reading around on google looking at some ubuntu xorg config files for an Xinerama config. I tried a few configurations but none of them have worked. I'm running a Dell 2208WFP 1680x1050 through DVI, and a Viewsonic 24" Tv through HDMI with the adapter that came with my 9800 GTX's, both screens are connected to the First Card. The nvidia control panel also doesn't help it just gives the option of "separate X(requires restart)", and "Twinview" which is Grayed out.
Heres my Xorg.conf files I'm running the nVidia 195.36.15 drivers.

What I Did This Summer: Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro
"What I Did This Summer" follows a number of University of South Carolina students as they work, travel, and explore the world. Many of them blog about their adventures. This is the twelfth story in the series.
When Amanda Casto reached the top of the highest freestanding mountain in the world, all she could think was, "When is the sun going to rise? When is the sun going to rise? When is the sun going to rise?"
That's because it was 7 o'clock in the morning and very dark, the temperature was about two degrees below zero, and she was wearing the coat and clothes she had slept in. She had spent the last four and a half days enduring a difficult and dangerous trek. She was ready for the pay-off.
"Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro was mentally, emotionally, and physically the hardest thing I've ever done," said Casto, a fourth-year Honors College student from John's Creek, Georgia.
"The entire climb requires four and a half days to go up, and one and a half days to come down. During that time, my thoughts went from 'Am I going to make it?' to 'I'm on top of the world!' I think it will stand as one of the most treasured accomplishments of my life."
Amanda Casto
Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro wasn't really on Casto's list of things to do, but she knew she would be in Tanzania in June on a Study Abroad with the Moore School of Business. She decided to see as much of the country as she could, including the people who live there, and their scenic towns and landscapes.
The climb also makes a great subject for her Honors College thesis.
"When I began to research the climb, there was a lack of definitive information, specifically for women and young ladies, on how to do it," said Casto, who is majoring in business management and entrepreneurship and minoring in Spanish. "There wasn't one strong resource to tell me what it would be like and exactly how to prepare for it. My goal is to create a definitive Website."
How did she prepare?
"Three months before my hike I started to physically prepare for it by going to the gym regularly, walking on the treadmill on the highest incline for about an hour, and strength training with weights," she said. "I was prepared physically for the climb, but I'm not sure about mental and emotional preparedness. I hope to figure this out during the thesis process."
And what is the climb like?
"In the days leading up to the summit, we hiked four to ten miles every day," she said. "Our team was led by Arnold, a professional guide from Tanzania who had climbed the summit about 30 times in the past three years. His dad was a professional guide, too.
"The day before you summit, you eat at 4 p.m. and go to sleep as early as possible," she said. "At 11 p.m., you get up and climb to the summit, which is just over 1,200 meters at that point. You want to get there in time to watch the sun rise."

Fox's Cavuto Falsely Claims Tax Deal Would Increase Government Spending By $4 Trillion
Blog ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
Fox News' Neil Cavuto claimed that the recent deal to avoid ending tax cuts for all Americans adds "4 trillion in new spending." But the $4 trillion estimate is not new spending; rather, it's lost revenue in comparison to what would have been collected if all the Bush tax cuts expired.
Discussing the January 1 tax deal on Your World, Cavuto claimed that the deal expands government spending "to the tune of $4 trillion over the next ten years."
An on-screen graphic also claimed the deal would add $4 trillion in spending over ten years:
But the $4 trillion estimate, which was published by the Congressional Budget Office, is lost revenue in comparison to what would have been collected if all the Bush tax cuts expired. Politico reported that the CBO's estimates "attribute most of the cost to lost revenues or payments on refundable tax credits." The Hill also pointed out that nearly all of the deficit increase would be due to an extension of the Bush-era tax cuts:
The Senate deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff" will add roughly $4 trillion to the deficit when compared to current law, according to new numbers from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
The extension of lower tax rates for the bulk of the nation's taxpayers and the addition of a patch to the Alternative Minimum Tax would add roughly $3.6 trillion to the deficit over the next decade, the CBO said. Other individual, business and energy tax extenders would add another $76 billion. The extension of unemployment benefits would cost roughly $30 billion, and the so-called "doc fix" would tally another $25 billion through fiscal 2022.
In addition, according to Politico, "CBO begins its analysis from its March current law baseline that assumes all of Bush-era tax cuts would expire at New Year's Day, and therefore gives no deficit-reduction credit for the fact that the deal begins to raise rates for the wealthiest Americans." Politico continued:
Yet since last spring the CBO itself has warned that if nothing were done, the so-called "fiscal cliff" combination of tax increases and automatic spending cuts could throw the country back into recession. In the same way, critics would argue that the deficit estimates now don't give enough credit to the improved economic growth that could result from the tax cuts.

"50 and Counting has been pretty amazing so far," said Mick Jagger in a press release. "We did a few shows in London and New York last year and had such a good time that we thought let's do some more. It's a good show. Lots of the classic stuff everyone wants to hear with a few little gems tucked in here and there. The stage is shaped like lips and goes off into the venue so I get to run around in the crowd. It's great fun to be able to get that close to the audience."
He also said, "From day one at rehearsals it sounded so fresh. You could tell that everybody was dying to get their teeth into it. It was like…open the gates…let us out!" said Richards. "Cause man, it is the life and blood of us to play in front of people."

High Energy Theory Seminar - Rakibur Rahman, Université Libre de Bruxelles - "Gravitating Higher-Spin Fermions"
We investigate the cubic interactions of a massless higher-spin fermion with gravity in flat space and present covariant 2-s-s vertices, compatible with the gauge symmetries of the system, preserving parity. This explicit construction relies on the BRST deformation scheme that assumes locality and Poincaré invariance. Consistent nontrivial cubic deformations exclude minimal gravitational coupling and may appear only with a number of derivatives constrained in a given range. Derived in an independent manner, our results do agree with those obtained from the light-cone formulation or inspired by string theory. We also show that none of the Abelian vertices deform the gauge transformations, while all the non-Abelian ones are obstructed in a local theory beyond the cubic order.
Location: PCTS Seminar Room

sure hes a mad racist tho
Whats even more crazy about Travis Fulton is he has 248 wins and only 7 by desicion!!!
WTF Fulton - 40 fight win streak, most people do well with 4 or 5.
1-1 in the UFC and never got to come back.
He has had a crazy amount of pro boxing bouts aswell.......crazy as mofo.....
Im gona come at you like a SPIDERMONKEY.....you hear that a SPIDERMONKEY
But you've got to imagine there's hundreds of unlicensed bouts and old school ironmans not recorded too.
The other interesting thing in his 300+ MMA fights, he has only fought outside of the US/Canada a handful of times.
So do you think that in all that time he ever held down a regular job or was fighting his only job and way of paying the bills?
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
I think he was earning a fortune thats for sure!!

Event Details
Thinking Outside the Box … What Box?
We are products of our environment. Where and how we are raised affects the way we see the world and the way we see ourselves. But what if we step outside the box and look at ourselves and the world differently? These five talks explore that concept. We begin with something as simple as looking at how a different culture defines the success of their doctors; we use body language to change how others see us and how we see ourselves; we see how women can empower themselves by changing the rules; we determine if the concept of working to be happy might just be backwards; and, finally, we examine a new way to think about achieving our goals.
Please join us for this innovative, sometimes humorous and always insightful TedX program featuring TEDTalks from:
Derek Sivers
Amy Cuddy
Liza Donnelly

the TP-Link WN722NC v1.1 usb adapter should use an Atheros ar9271 chipset. This chipset is supported in the latest ath9k_htc kernel module (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Dr...sets_supported).
Did you try with BT5 or BT5R1 they use different kernel and perhaps the BT5 doesn't handle the ath9k_htc module.
BT5 has kernel 2.6.38 versus BT5R1 that has kernel 220.127.116.11.
To see what kernel you are running type
uname -an
If you are on BT5 either do a clean install from a BT5R1 dvd or try doing
apt-get dist-upgrade
which should upgrade the distro over the internet.

The organization was founded by Scientologist and actress Anne Archer, and Lovejoy is on its board.
Anti-Scientology groups say Lovejoy appears to be linked to Scientology through a group called Artists for Human Rights.
Asked whether he endorsed the diet program and products, Lovejoy did not respond.
One of them (Lovejoy) was actually killed by a mob in Illinois as late as 1837.
The Duncan and Lovejoy representatives in the theatre, the adherents of the bill here!
As that part of the country was full of packs of gray wolves, now half-starved on account of the snow, Lovejoy was alarmed.
They ordered Lovejoy to go down-stairs, and when he resisted, struck him with their fists.
Lovejoy had married, and expected to make St. Louis his permanent home.
Mrs. Lovejoy heard the noise, and came running from her room.
Late at night, Secretary Lovejoy furnished a statement to the press.

These days, manufacturing facilities face a constant battle to find new ways to increase productivity while lowering or maintaining operating costs. When you're in charge of maintenance you have to adapt quickly to changing production and business demands, while still considering your operations and, of course, your bottom line. Reducing operating costs and managing the risk of downtime is a big part of the job. A review of hydraulic fluids can go a long way to helping meet this goal. Continue Reading →
A leading plastic-injection company planned to install variable frequency drives (VFDs) on its chiller pumps to increase energy efficiency and reduce operating costs. These drives are increasingly popular in the HVAC industry because of their ability to economically meet changing load demands, making them ideal for fluid and air-flow applications.

Mobis Parts America (Hyundai) Tour A Joint MHSNJ, CSCMP, APICS & WERC Event March 24, 2010
Mobis Parts America (MPA), launched on January 1, 2009, has begun the challenging 2-year task of combining the Hyundai and Kia operations into one customer service focused and efficient operating company. Systems strategies are being developed to integrate both companies into a single state of the art system. Parts Distribution Centers will become Hyundai/Kia facilities, allowing MPA to position facilities closer to their customers increasing current service levels at a significantly reduced cost.
Increasing service and reducing costs are the primary goals in combing Inventory Control, Parts Training and the Parts Technical Call Centers. A key business opportunity is in Parts Marketing. By leveraging the strength of both companies and utilizing common market intelligence, design and execution resources, MPA will add real Market Value for the manufacturer and dealer for both retail customers and wholesale business. As a result of the dramatic increases in sales for both Hyund ai and Kia products, the Hyundai/Kia parts market has become extremely competitive and MPA is now positioned to win Customer loyalty.
Having concluded the move into their new facility in August '08, MPA has realized a dramatic increase in storage capacity of fixed location capacity from 42K slots to 74K slots (+76%) ensuring our commitment to growth and operating efficiency. Although the new facility footprint is only marginally larger the increased operational height allows MPA to maximize the cube and achieve a 4A7% storage advantage. Additionally, energy efficient lighting and natural lighting provided by perimeter windows improve processing accuracy and provides a brighter and more open environment.
This facility provides service to 204 Hyundai Dealerships located in 13 states in the Northeast. Processing in excess of 1.7 million order lines annually, while maintaining a world class accuracy rate 99.92% (1 error for 1250 lines processed). Hyundai has been recognized by Industry analysts as a leader in Fill Rates, measuring over 98%, PDC Productivity and overall Supply Chain Efficiency.
Tour Highlights:
* A 320K square foot of warehouse and distribution operations.
* A state of the art Technical Training Center for Dealership Technicians
* Utilization of in house slotting tools, providing optimal storage of over 33K unique part numbers
* A transportation system that provides delivery service to 203 dealerships by noon the following day with 60% of dealerships ordering parts prior to 3PM receiving deliveries prior to their opening the following morning
People are truly their most valuable asset that sets MPA apart from the rest. Processors are routinely flown to other facilities in the network to work, learn and share best practices, resulting in a unique camaraderie within the collective group. In addition to experiences at the other facilities, many of their Processors have visited their US Headquarters and Korean Operations both in Seoul and Ulsan to learn about the company and the Korean culture which is their foundation.
Unlike most PDC's in the Service Parts Aftermarket, Hyundai takes a somewhat different approach in compensation, paying for performance opposed to contractually negotiated or predetermined increases, reinforced by incentives that provide monetary reward for meeting and exceeding performance goals.
MPA is truly excited to share their story and hope you can join us on March 24 for an exciting tour and presentation by Ronald M. Palochko, MPA National Manager Parts Distribution Center, as he tells us "The rest of the story."

LONG BEACH - The air in and around the Port of Long Beach is cleaner today than it was six years ago, according to an emissions inventory report released by harbor officials this week.
The report showed significant drops in air pollution from 2005, including a 75 percent decrease in airborne diesel particulates, a 50 percent drop in nitrogen oxides, an 80 percent decrease in sulfur oxides and a 23 percent drop in greenhouse gas emissions. It is the fifth straight year the port has shown improved pollution numbers, which port officials have attributed to its clean-air programs.
More cleaner-burning fuels by ships and waterfront equipment and fewer old drayage trucks were also a factor.
"Six years into these efforts, we're seeing huge improvements," said port spokesman Art Wong.
The port has been pushing out several initiatives to improve air quality, including the Green Ship Incentive Program designed to curb air pollution by giving incentives to shippers to use cleaner ships, the Clean Trucks Program, which bans older, more polluting trucks from terminals, and the Green Flag Program, which rewards operators for slowing vesselspeedss.
"Our clean air programs are effectively reducing air pollution from port sources - the numbers clearly demonstrate that," Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners President Susan E. Anderson Wise said in a written statement. "But we're not done. With cleaner fuels, more shore power and other programs, we're on track to continue to further reduce air pollution from the Pport."
The report, which began around the time the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles implemented the San Pedro Bay Clean Air Action Plan, takes an inventory of the air pollution found among ships, trucks, trains, tractors and cranes that move cargo in and out of the port.
The report is reviewed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. For more information, go to www.polb.com/emissions.

I met Lena and Kelley (along with their husbands, a brother, and a friend) at In N'Out while they were on their epic roadtrip! It was SUCH a fun night and they were so easy to talk to! It's like we had known each other forever!
Yes, this is my "I'm not done laughing... aw man you took the picture when I wasn't ready" face. Whoops. haha!
A couple of weekends ago I was lucky enough to meet Ashley!! It was a short visit, but I loved every minute of it! Courtney works right next door to where we were meeting for frozen yogurt, so she joined us which was great!
Yes, I wore a giant tshirt to a blog meet up. It was the day I watched General Conference, so putting jeans on was pushing it for me. haha!
