The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes are a united, federally recognized tribe of Southern Arapaho and Southern Cheyenne people in western Oklahoma.
The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes are headquartered in Concho, Oklahoma. Of 12,185 enrolled tribal members, 8,664 live within the state of Oklahoma. The tribal jurisdictional area includes Beckham, Blaine, Canadian, Custer, Dewey, Ellis, Kingfisher, Roger Mills, and Washita Counties.[1]
The tribal government consists of the Tribal Council, Executive Branch, Legislative Branch, and Judicial Branch. The Tribal Council includes all tribal members over the age of 18.[2] The Executive Branch is led by the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The Legislative Branch is made up of legislators from the four Arapaho districts and four Cheyenne districts. The Judicial Branch includes a Supreme Court, including one Chief Justice and four Associate Justices; a Trial Court, composed of one Chief Judge and at least one Associate Judge; and any lower courts deemed necessary by the Legislature.[3] In 2006 the tribes voted and ratified the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes Constitution which replaced the 1975 constitution.[4]
In 2009, Lt. Governor Teresa Dorsett was named acting Tribal Governor. She replaced Governor Darrell Flyingman, who was removed from office on 13 November 2009 by a cabal of individuals both tribal and non-tribal associated with Southwest Casino Corporation. Flyingman was removed pursuant to Section 8 of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal Law and Order Code, in order that his interference with the schemes practiced on the tribes by Southwest Casino Corporation with the aide of chosen tribal members bent on removing Flyingman who had terminated Southwest Casino Corporation during his term as governor. Flyingman was elected first in 2007 on the platform of corruption reform and won. During his term as Governor 14 tribal members were prosecuted for embezzlement and other related charges. Flyingman was recalled twice through the efforts of the Legislature who included Janice Boswell who replaced Flyingman as governor. The Tribal Court overturned the recall both times. Shortly after replacing Gov.Flyingman, Boswell appointed her own tribal court and legislatures who are elected.
Flyingman was accused of bad accounting of tribal funds, although he maintains that a National Indian Gaming Commission audit cleared him of wrongdoing.[5]
In 2010, Janice Prairie Chief-Boswell was elected Tribal Governor, and Leslie Wandrie-Harjo was elected Lt. Governor.[6] In December 2010, Wandrie-Harjo accused Prairie Chief-Boswell of hiding financial records and disobeying tribal court orders to vacate her office.[5] On 31 March 2011, Wandrie-Harjo and others broke into the locked tribal headquarters.[5] A dispute has continued between Prairie Chief-Boswell and Wandie-Harjo as to who is the rightful leader of the tribe. The First Bank of Trust Company froze $6.4 million of the tribe's assets.[7] The tribe declared a state of emergency, and a hearing had been set over the funds.[8]
The tribe operates three tribal smoke shops and four casinos:[1] the Lucky Star Casino in Clinton, the Lucky Star Casino in Concho, the Lucky Star Casino in Watonga, and the Lucky Star Casino in Canton.[9] They also issue their own tribal vehicle tags. Their economic impact is estimated at $32 million.[1]
The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal Tribune is the tribe's newspaper.[9] ''CATV channel 47'' is the tribe's low power FCC licensed television station. CATV's call letters are K47MU-D. The Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma Culture and Heritage Program teaches hand games, powwow dancing and songs, horse care and riding, buffalo management, and Cheyenne and Arapaho language, and sponsored several running events.[10]
In partnership with Southwestern Oklahoma State University, the tribe founded the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal College on August 25, 2006. Dr. Henrietta Mann, enrolled tribal member, was president in 2009. The campus was in Weatherford, Oklahoma and the school offered programs in Tribal Administration, American Indian Studies, and General Studies.[11] The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal College Board of Regents voted to dissolve the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal College at the end of the 2015 spring semester.[12]
The Cheyennes and Arapahos are two distinct tribes with distinct histories. The Cheyenne (Tsitsistas/ The People) were once agrarian, or agricultural, people located near the Great Lakes in present-day Minnesota. Grinnell notes the Cheyenne language is a unique branch of the Algonquian language family and, The Nation itself, is descended from two related tribes, the Tsitsistas and the Suh' Tai. The latter is believed to have joined the Tsitsistas in the early 18th century (1: 1-2). The Tsitsistas and the Suh' Tai are characterized, and represented by two cultural heroes who received divine articles which shaped the time-honored belief systems of the Southern and Northern families of the Cheyenne Nation. The Suh' Tai, represented by a man named Erect Horns, were blessed with the care of a sacred Buffalo Hat, which is kept among the Northern family. The Tsitsistas, represented by a man named Sweet Medicine, were bestowed with the care of a bundle of sacred Arrows, kept among the Southern Family. Inspired by Erect Horn's vision, they adopted the horse culture in the 18th century and moved westward onto the plains to follow the buffalo. The prophet Sweet Medicine organized the structure of Cheyenne society, including the Council of Forty-four peace chiefs and the warrior societies led by prominent warriors.[13][14]
The Arapaho, also Algonquian speaking, came from Saskatchewan, Montana, Wyoming, eastern Colorado, and western South Dakota in the 18th century. They adopted horse culture and became successful nomadic hunters. In 1800, the tribe began coalescing into northern and southern groups. Although the Arapaho had assisted the Cheyenne and Lakota in driving the Kiowa and Comanche south from the Northern Plains, in 1840 they made peace with both tribes. They became prosperous traders, until the expansion of American settlers onto their lands after the Civil War.[15]
The Cheyenne and Arapaho formed an alliance in the 18th and 19th centuries. Together they were a formidable military force, successful hunters, and active traders with other tribes. At the height of their alliance, their combined hunting territories spanned from Montana to Texas.[13]
The Arapaho signed the Fort Laramie Treaty with the US in 1851. It recognized and guaranteed their rights to traditional lands in portions of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming. The US could not enforce the treaty, however, and European-American trespassers overran Indian lands. There were repeated conflicts between settlers and members of the tribes.
The US government brought the tribes to council again in 1867, to achieve peace under the Medicine Lodge Treaty. It promised the Arapaho a reservation in Kansas, but they disliked the location. They accepted a reservation with the Cheyenne in Indian Territory, so both tribes were forced to remove south near Fort Reno in present-day Oklahoma.[13]
The Dawes Act broke up the Cheyenne-Arapaho land base. All land not allotted to individual Indians was opened to settlement in the Land Run of 1892. The Curtis Act of 1898 dismantled the tribal governments in an attempt to have the tribal members assimilate to United States conventions and culture.
After the Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act passed in 1936, the Cheyenne and Arapaho organized a single tribal government in 1937.[15] The Indian Self-Determination Act of 1975 further enhanced tribal development.

Despite rumors to the contrary, Craig's Channel 27 isn't going anywhere. In fact, the news station is looking to grow beyond its current "feel-good reporting" philosophy to provide more coverage of events in the county.
The Moffat County Board of Commissioners pulled funding late last year for the translators that air a total of six channels, including Channel 27. That means the station will have to come up with roughly $80,000 to continue to have their signal beamed to viewers.
"People think that we're going out of business," said sales director Michelle McKnight-Skoglie. "But that's not the case at all. The county just pulled the funding to maintain the system. People need to understand that we will still be here."
The station was a two-person team when Jerry Thompson purchased it about 18 months ago. In the last six months it has grown to six full-time employees. Ad sales have increased about 30 percent in the last half year, McKnight-Skoglie said.
Regular programming may extend to a noon variety show, General Manager Audrey Amaday said.
The station is also looking into its options of producing live broadcasts.
"We have tons of ideas for programming," she said. "We still want to concentrate on the good news."
The station received an award for its coverage of Veterans Day events surrounding the November holiday. Representatives from Colorado's American Legion presented the station with its annual TV Media Award at a banquet ceremony late January in Grand Junction.
The recognition has significance because Channel 27 News coverage of veterans' events was chosen as the best among many TV stations around the state, said the station's.
"It didn't soak in until we go there that we were competing with all the other news stations in the state," Amaday said.
Channel 27 reporters interviewed local veterans who have served in the various branches of the armed forces. Coverage also included Veterans Day events held around town and a local school's effort to memorialize veterans. Another segment covered a local Boy Scout troop displaying correct flag etiquette.
"We concentrated everything we could on local veterans' coverage," Amaday said. "We planned a few weeks in advance to make sure we hit all the areas."
Amaday currently dubs the local coverage as "feel-good reporting." That includes coverage of local community events but it leaves out reporting on other issues such as crime, fires and many political events.
Though the station doesn't plan to cover incidents like car crashes in detail in the future, it may send reporters to the scene to answer viewers' basic questions. The station may take a similar stance with crime reporting, listing names and charges listed on the police blotter.
Channel 27 probably won't launch into investigative pieces, Amaday said.
Amaday said the station is considering hosting a live political debate.
But that wouldn't include "digging up the dirt on one candidate," she said.
"It depends on what's good for the community," Amaday said. "If we have to chose to broadcast between what helps and what hinders the community we always want to be on the side that helps."

One of the General Assembly's late-session actions was to delay the implementation of a requirement that in order to graduate, high school students demonstrate proficiency or improvement from previous scores on the New England Common Assessment Program exams.
Waivers from the requirement are possible, but each school district had broad latitude for how they were awarded, leading to inconsistent standards across the state.
As a result, legislative leaders felt that the requirement's implementation needed to be delayed in order to get more school districts and students time to align curricular approach with the standard.
There is some thought that the General Assembly should not have done this, that it was meddling in educational policy that undercuts the reforms efforts that have garnered the state federal Race to the Top funds and other support.
Should the General Assembly have delayed implementation of the testing component of high school graduation requirements?

Though trees are being axed these days to widen Pakhowal Road here, the authorities concerned have failed to remove illegal encroachments causing troubles for commuters on already widened roads in Field Ganj area here.
Despite knowing that encroachments lead to traffic snarls, shopkeepers are using the area to do brisk businesses. Besides, moving carts and parked vehicles on roads are also creating problems for commuters.
According to locals, ambulances get stuck in traffic snarls every day, but no strict action is being taken to remove encroachments which are generally up to 10 feet.
"To ensure smooth flow of traffic, encroachments should be removed as every second is precious for the patient being taken in ambulance to the hospital," an emergency medical technician said.
"Eateries and garment store owners, who display their items outside their shops, have covered major portion of the road. Besides, several handcarts can be seen on roads. It is total failure of the authorities who rarely come forward to remove these encroachments. Heavy fine should be charged so that nobody could encroach upon the road which leads to two big hospitals of the city," Sukhjeet Singh, a resident of Field Ganj, said.
During festive season, huge rush is witnessed owing to which trees are being cut to widen these roads. The municipal corporation should take step to remove encroachments," Singh said.
Rakesh Prashar, councillor, ward number 36, said: "I have written to higher MC officials to remove the encroachments but no action has been taken so far."
When contacted, MC additional commissioner, Davinder Singh, assured of taking necessary action to remove encroachments.

The beautiful velvet-clad auditorium of the Royal Opera House is a Grade I listed building that dates back to 1858. Monitoring and maintaining the auditorium and its historic contents is the responsibility of the ROH Collections Department. Now, with The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera on their summer break, the auditorium stands empty, and ROH Collections have seized the opportunity to undertake a conservation project above the stage.
High above the proscenium arch is a decorative gilt-and-plaster frieze depicting scenes from mythology, with a profile portrait of Queen Victoria at its centre. The frieze has been in place since the current theatre opened in 1858 and was last restored in 1998 when the entire auditorium was renovated. However, recently cracks have started to appear in the plaster figures and the gold leaf has started to peel. The time has come to call in the conservators.
Although the problem was identified in mid-January 2012, due to a heavy schedule there were only two days last Season when accessing the frieze was possible. So, with no performances or rehearsals on stage last week, the seating was removed from the Orchestra Stalls, a spider lift was installed, and a brave conservator went up in a very small basket to investigate the damage up close.
The cracks in the frieze seem to have been caused by fluctuating temperatures and humidity created by the large number of people (2,250 to be precise) who visit the auditorium each night. These changing conditions cause the frieze's plaster and paint to shrink and expand, which has led to flaking and cracking. With just two days to repair the damage before the auditorium was in use again, the conservator (from Plowden & Smith, a company who carry out nearly all of the Royal Opera House's building and object conservation) only had time to consolidate the most obviously damaged areas in the centre,while taking detailed notes and photographs of the rest of the frieze.
The end result of this work is fantastic – even eagle-eyed audience members will be unable to see anything out of the ordinary when they gaze above the stage. Collections will continue to monitor the condition of the frieze throughout the year (with the help of a telephoto lens) and a conservator will be back up there next summer to ensure it continues to look good for years to come.
Find out more about the auditorium of the Royal Opera House by joining us for one of our Velvet, Gilt and Glamour tours. If you feel inspired to support the work of the Royal Opera House, there are many ways to take part, from becoming a Friend of Covent Garden to sponsoring a role in a ballet or opera. We receive all donations very gratefully.

Nice app is there a way to transfer the downloaded songs & video to the music app itself.
This is just a copy of the MyTube app. Only difference is this has back/next navigation buttons.
One bug with thumbnails in downloaded videos browser, guess it's pretty easy to fix though:
Attachment 558987
Using iPhone 4 on 5.0.1
just got this app.. nice one not sure yet but it it dont give you the option yet. you should try and make it safe music files directly to the music Apple app. Its a pain in the *** having to change the music apps everytime depending on where a certain song is on!. especially when driving
I would like to have that too. There is the possibility, using MFMusicLibrary, but its not good enough to be really used yet. You need to manually patch files, reboot and sync to make it work. But I will keep updated and add the feature as soon as MFMusicLibrary.framework is become easier to implement.
@garaddon thanks, ill try to fix it.
Nice bike. I've retired from the big stuff now, at 45 I don't heal fast enough anymore so had to call it a day :-( Used to ride mainly Commencal supremes. single speed hard tails for me now.
Great app BTW.
Maxner - this app looks fantastic! Would it be possible to add an option to turn on captions (and, dare I ask, even turn on text transcription of voiced words)? Lots of deaf people use YouTube because of its captions / text transcriptions, and it's odd that the iPhone YouTube app doesn't display closed captions / text transcriptions.
Maxner how does this app handle login information, I ask because it's my email address & password for my email account as well.
Also for MFMusicLibrary the patching part is easy as its an XML file that needs editing so you could do that in the installation process or if not possible, then during installation using a .sh script, also set cydia to reboot the phone.
Then all you need to do is tell the user to sync with iTunes first before trying to import any media.
I'm pretty sure you could've already just used mxtube. It was already updated for iOS 5.
Nice app... but it crashes when I try to save a video. (3GS @ 4.3.3).
Try to save a video, and whoosh, back at the app screen.
Come on, it just has the mobile YouTube website embedded into it. The features he portrays in the video as features of his app are not by him, but by YouTube itself. I want a developer to make a real iOS YouTube alternative to the stock one. Until then, I'm sticking with the stock app. And downloading? That is the only feature that is Added from the YouTube mobile site.
Go to the app store and download and download managing app. They have built in browsers, and you can download YouTube videos, and it's all free. So there, save yourself a $1.49.
You can with the download managing apps in the app store, which are FREE.
The only things the iOS stock doesn't have out of that list is recommended videos (instead,related), and downloading.
So what does ProTube do cannot do? Well to put it in layman's terms - a lot. But, more specifically: you can download videos, it has an ad-blocker for faster loading, you can like/dislike videos, you can leave comments, you can view recommended videos the way that YouTube wants you to see them, have control over your YouTube account, faster loading than the iOS application, HQ (high quality) and SQ (standard quality) options, share videos or add them to playlists, landscape orientation support, and so much more!

BOSTON, July 1, 2014 - Participants running on behalf of non-profit organizations raised $38.4 million for charity this year in the 118th running of the Boston Marathon. The 2014 figure is a record amount and nearly doubles the $20 million raised in 2013.
In this year's race on April 21st, with an expanded field size of 36,000 registered runners, more than 300 organizations received donations in support of their missions. The majority of the fundraising runners gained entry through the Boston Athletic Association's Official Charity Program and John Hancock's Marathon Non-Profit Program, which provide non-profits with guaranteed entry numbers ("bibs") that enable funds to be raised for their organizations.
In addition, many qualified runners, along with deferred runners who did not finish the 2013 Marathon, contributed by raising money for charity. The B.A.A. also made special allocations to the One Fund Boston, the Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation, local hospitals, and many other organizations and individuals who were touched by the bombing at last year's race.
Included among the charitable organizations benefiting from the B.A.A.'s Official Charity Program in 2014 is the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, which marked its 25th year of fundraising with the B.A.A. for the Boston Marathon.
"This year's Boston Marathon was like no other that we have witnessed," said Tom Grilk, B.A.A. Executive Director. "We worked in cooperation with the community, especially the eight cities and towns which comprise the Boston Marathon route and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to accommodate as many participants as possible, and we were delighted that so many chose to channel their dedication and commitment towards fundraising for worthwhile causes. The 2014 Boston Marathon will go down in history as a special day for the sport, for the City of Boston and for unprecedented fundraising, all benefitting local charities."
"The world bore witness to the resilience of the Boston community and the true spirit of the Marathon this year," said Craig Bromley, President of John Hancock. "The Boston Marathon will forever be defined by compassion, courage, competition, and extraordinary generosity. We are proud of our partnership with the B.A.A. and join them in congratulating our charitable partners for raising an unprecedented amount of funds to support their important missions."
In the 2014 race, funds raised by John Hancock-sponsored runners amounted to slightly over $10 million, a 27 percent increase over the $7.9 million total raised in 2013. Some of the 125 non-profit organizations participating in the John Hancock program were: Massachusetts General Hospital for Children, Boston Medical Center, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, Hoyt Foundation Inc., Horizons for Homeless Children, and Bottom Line.
In addition, Team John Hancock, consisting of 118 employees, ran while raising funds for the Ron Burton Training Village and the Boys & Girls Club of Boston, and 37 employees of parent company Manulife ran on behalf of Canadian charity Pathways to Education. Employees raised nearly $370,000, a 28 percent increase over 2013 results.
2014 marked the 29th year of John Hancock's landmark sponsorship of the legendary Boston Marathon. Over the past 29 years, the official B.A.A. Charity Program and John Hancock's own Non-Profit Program have combined to raise more than $208 million for community-based organizations.
For the third consecutive year, John Hancock utilized a centralized online platform to capture fundraising through a partnership with CrowdRise™ (www.crowdrise.com/2014bostonmarathon), an innovative online fundraising web site.

December 10th, 2012
Today we are announcing a repair program for the 15″ Macbook Pro Retina Displays. Due to the way the displays on the Macbook Pro Retina models are manufactured, replacing just the LCD is no longer an option for repair. The displays are assembled in layers, and repairing them requires rebuilding these layers. The process is similar to the newer Macbook Air models for which we have a similar program.
The 15″ Macbook Pro Retina display repair program details are available at the link below:
Macbook Pro Retina Display Repair Program
Pricing for the service is $549.95 for display only repair or $644.95 if you send in the entire machine.
@ stendec – Yes, we have entire display replacements. We ship worldwide.
i need replacement for my macbook pro retina late 2013. is it possible, and how much will that cost? I live outside of USA.
@ Chris – It depends if you're asking about a 13″ or 15″. You can call our sales department at 866-726-3342, option 1, and they can provide you with all the information you need.
I need to get a replacement for my macbook pro with retina display screen, how much would that cost?
@ Darlington – It sounds like you have a very old Mac. That issue is usually a ram issue, possibly a cpu issue depending on the model of Mac you have.
I have an apple laptop it makes a krack sound eachtime I on it and does not boot after that it only displays a blue screen and hangs their.I dont want to loose the laptop,what can I do?

If we were all able to relax on the beach or in the mountains daily, get rid of our hectic schedules, and remove virtually all stress factors from our lives, we wouldnt require aides to calm us down. However, since we dont live in this utopia, but in high-stress circumstances instead, we require support to soothe frayed nerves and to relieve the grind of ongoing stress.
Enter lemon balm, also known as Melissa. A versatile traditional herbal remedy, this perennial herb is native to the Mediterranean region and is widely cultivated throughout Europe. Germany, Spain, Romania and Bulgaria are important countries for this crop, which enjoys broad use in herbal medicine. The dried leaves and flowering tops are used, and the herb imparts a pleasant lemon-like aroma.
As early as 300 BC, lemon balm was described in the Historia Plantarum by noted Greek biologist Theophrastus. Eleventh century Arab physician Avicenna noted that "balm makes the heart merry and joyful, and strengthens the vital spirits." In ancient Greek and Roman medicines, lemon balm was used to treat poisonous bites and stings and as a dressing for wounds. In the Middle Ages, lemon balm was employed to relieve stress and anxiety, promote sleep, ease indigestion and lift the spirits.
In Indias system of Ayurveda, lemon balm enjoys a history of use for indigestion associated with anxiety. European herbals credit lemon balm with enhancing memory, and the 1698 London Dispensary assured that "an essence of Balm drunk every morning will renew youth, strengthen the brain, relieve languishing nature, and prevent baldness." Of these claims, the one pertaining to baldness appears to be untrue.
The famous Swiss physician Paracelsus credited lemon balm as an elixir of life, and claimed that regular use could increase lifespan. In either the fourteenth or seventeenth century Carmellite monks developed Eau de Melissa de Carmes, an elixir for promoting longevity. In Europe, the leaves and flowers of lemon balm were strewn upon floors and among church pews to freshen rooms. The herb has enjoyed a long history for furniture polishing, and today, extract of lemon balm appears in some versions of Colgate toothpaste. The herb has also been used in the making of jellies and jams.
In more modern times, extract of lemon balm has demonstrated anti-herpes activity when applied to lips. In one study reported in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, administration of lemon balm daily improved cognition in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimers disease. In one study of healthy volunteers, a daily dose of 600 mgs of lemon balm for a week improved mood, and boosted both calmness and alertness. Several studies show that lemon balm, in conjunction with other herbs such as valerian, hops and chamomile, enhances sleep.
Lemon balm is high in natural antioxidants, thereby providing protection to cells and inhibiting premature cellular aging, contains essential oils, which are responsible for the pleasant fragrance of this herb. Eugenol in lemon balm may be responsible for its antispasmodic activity.

Hi all, I'm new here and have a procedural question I'm hoping someone can help me with
I just recently received my certified divorce decree from the court (woo hoo!) in New York. But I'm unsure of how the QDRO ties in. My lawyer is downright horrible and can't be relied on for anything so he's been no help with this issue. I spoke to his office today and asked now since my divorce has been certified and recorded how long will it be until I receive my benefits from the QDRO. I was told that now that everything is finalized the QDRO paperwork (that was prepared 6 months ago) will now be submitted to the court along with my certified divorce paperwork for judges signature and then her 401k provider will be served with the paperwork. I commented that shouldn't that paperwork already have been submitted to the court so the judge can sign off on the divorce and then the QDRO at the same time so I don't have to wait an additional 3-6 months when both sets of papers are going to the same clerk/judge. The only response was, that wasn't done.
My question is, is this the way the process works or is the QDRO paperwork usually submitted at the same time as the divorce papers so they are both approved at the same time? I'd like to know before I raise holy hell and ask to speak to the firm's partners to complain. Can someone shed any light on this?

Ford Focus LT Driver Impression Car Reviews
Ford's new Focus range is more than a subtle facelift. Keener pricing, added safety features and the 2.0 litre diesel TDCi's arrival are the big news. With diesel sales on the rise, Ford Australia's first passenger "oil-burner" couldn't have come at a better time. There are more models too, with a Zetec sedan (in manual or auto) and Ghia hatchback (auto only) filling out the range.
External changes include mirror mounted indicators, a more aggressive looking front bumper treatment and new style alloy wheels for Zetec and Ghia. And there are two more colours too choose from - "Ocean" and "Tonic". All models have dual airbags and ABS with EBD standard plus optional "safety packs" (see below for details) which for a limited time will be offered at half price. While base model Corolla's have increased in price, Ford's accountants have sharpened their pencils, with reductions of up to $1,500, dependent on model. The entry level Focus CL manual hatch is $1,000 less than Toyota's equivalent Ascent hatch.
Under the bonnet there's little change for the petrol versions, while the big news is kept for the TDCi diesel. As the first diesel passenger car offered here by the "Blue Oval" our version is fitted with the top of the range 107kw Duratorq four cylinder. There's an impressive 320Nm of torque (not bad when compared to the Falcon six's 383Nm) allied to a six speed manual transmission.
The engine's common rail design stores fuel at high pressure (up to 1600bar) providing better fuel economy, lower emissions and less diesel "clatter". A Variable Nozzle Turbo (VNT) is integral in providing better response, power and torque, without adversely affecting fuel economy.
So with a greater choice of models, added safety features and better pricing, what's the new LT Focus like?
Standard equipment
CL: Power front windows, trip computer, remote central locking, electro-hydraulic power steering.
Standard safety equipment
CL: Dual front airbags, ABS with EBD
LX/TDCi: as per CL plus front side airbags
Zetec/Ghia: as per LX plus Dynamic Stability Control, Traction control and Emergency Brake Assist.
Safety Pack -
CL: Front side airbags, curtain airbags, stability & traction control and Emergency Brake Assist. ($800 introductory offer until Sept 30th, then RRP $1,600)
LX/TDCi: Curtain airbags, stability & traction control and Emergency Brake Assist. ($650 introductory offer until Sept 30th then RRP $1,300)
Zetec/Ghia: Curtain airbags ($200 introductory offer until Sept 30th then RRP $400).
Prestige paint - $310, Smooth Pack (CL only) 15" alloys, body coloured mirrors, cruise control, leather steering wheel) - $1,400, 6 stack CD - $350, leather seat trim in ebony (Zetec) $1,600.
Drive impression
Even with a modest makeover, the Focus retains a conservative look. But don't judge this book by its cover. From behind the wheel the car's taut, solid construction is self evident. The interior's materials are nicely finished and have a durable look and feel - except for the Ghia's "woodgrain" inlays, which look anything but natural. Our test route took in a variety of conditions from tight, secondary switchbacks to open freeways. While the suspension coped with the worst of it, the chassis' grip and mildly understeering nature ensured safe progress. But the diesel's extra weight is obvious in the bends, feeling a little more nose heavy and marginally less nimble than the petrol version's agile character. And even with improvements to NVH, tyre noise is intrusive across the range - only the smoothest tarmac was peaceful.
What the TDCi loses in agility it gains in performance. The six speed manual has a slick, direct shift quality, and the hefty 320Nm of torque makes progress deceptively swift and stress free. Tight corners and steep hills, which the diesel took in its stride, were hard work for the 2.0 petrol. Its lazy response and lack of torque had you rowing through the gears to keep everything motoring. Worse was the four speed auto. Its widely spaced ratios provide a gap for the engine to fall into and, in Sport Shift mode, the dash mounted gear indicator was almost indecipherable.
Reduced prices and added safety features put forward a strong argument in the Focus' favour. Interior comfort and space are another plus. Plus it's hard to criticise the diesel's easygoing character and driveability, especially when compared to the petrol's lack of verve which was disappointing in a car with such good dynamic qualities.
Compared to the Corolla, Focus wins on handling, price and conveys a more robust nature. And while it may not have the style of Mazda's 3 or Honda's rakish Civic, the TDCi is the stand-out of the range. All it needs is an optional automatic transmission.
So its top marks for the Focus TDCi with the 2.0 Duratec petrol bringing up the rear.

These gadget-stuffed stores probably never actually got a sale out of me, but they were stuffed to the gills with impractical and expensive gadgets for me to ogle, and there was generally an expensive, ultimately-uncomfortable massage chair near the entrance that lured me in every time. Sadly (I guess), it's now the end of an era: Sharper Image has filed for bankruptcy. Advertisement Due to lousy sales and getting the pants sued off it due to its useless Ionic Breeze "air purifiers," these are tough days for the retailer. With the internet offering more useless gadgets than any brick-and-mortar store could compete with, it's not a real shocker that stores like Sharper Image are finding it impossible to stay afloat, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for a store that's based around selling barbeque forks with built-in thermometers, foot massagers and overly-complicated personal organizers. You've gotta wonder how long it'll be before Brookstone suffers the same fate. [Reuters]Reply94 repliesLeave a reply

i'm always excited when a new ebook from curbly is launched. their last title, make it! mid century modern, was a big hit and i was excited to hear that they were moving on to tackle my favorite subject: reusing found and secondhand objects to create great new home designs. i couldn't wait to get my hands (or laptop) on a make it! secondhand chic and i was happy to see more than a few projects that i'd like to try (the etched bathroom glasses with dentures are so funny) ranging from ideas for the bedroom and bathroom to the living room, office, and kitchen. make it! secondhand chic features 15 projects (most of which are majorly doable for the novice crafter/maker) and can be downloaded ($9.99) or mailed to you ($24.99) from right here.
today the curbly team was kind enough to let me share a project from the ebook so i've chosen my favorite: converting a secondhand file cabinet into a cute kitchen cart. we've all seen a few sad and lonely file cabinets discarded on the street, so the next time you do, grab one and you can follow these instructions to create your own colorful (and functional) kitchen cart. thanks so much to bruno, chris gardner, and everyone at curbly for sharing this project with us. click here to check out make it! secondhand chic and download more great projects.

Filing Cabinet Kitchen Cart by Chris Gardner from Make It! Secondhand Chic
We've never met anyone who couldn't use more kitchen storage and counter
space. This rolling kitchen cart offers both – drawers for storage of tools, spices, or
root vegetables, racks to hang towels and utensils, and a butcher-block top for food
preparation or appliance storage.
The main structure is a used filing cabinet, which are plentiful in secondhand
shops, garage sales, and online classified listings. We found ours for less than three
dollars at a charity shop. Look for a filing cabinet whose drawers and hardware are
in working order, and for a case that has no major dents or damage. The color and
finish are of no consequence, as it'll be painted
- Secondhand filing cabinet
- Spray metal primer
- 2 cans spray paint
- Two rolling casters and two locking casters
- A cutting board or piece of butcher block
that's at least the size of the top of your
filing cabinet - Two inexpensive horizontal towel racks
- Mineral spirits or sticker remover
- Electric drill
- 1⁄8" and 1⁄16" drill bits
- 24 1⁄8" bolts, 1/2 – 1" long
- 24 1⁄8" nuts
- 4 #8 short screws
- Washers (if necessary)
1. Remove the drawers, and use mineral spirits or sticker remover to get rid of any tape residue, labels, or grime, and wipe clean. Remove any hardware will come off easily, and cover remaining hardware with painter's tape. Then, spray the cabinet case and drawers with a coat of metal primer, followed by two coats of spray paint.
2. Mark the location of the holes of your casters on the bottom of your filing cabinet, and drill 1 ⁄8" holes for the screws. If the cabinet bottom is not solid, use a piece of scrap wood under the ledges to prevent them from bending under the drill. If the metal is thick, you can use a blow torch to soften the metal, but most drills should be able to get through. Then, screw in the casters using the included screws or 1⁄8" bolts and nuts.
3. Attach the towel/utensil racks to the sides by marking and drilling holes as in step two, and securing them with short bolts and nuts.
4. Place your cutting board on top of the cabinet, and mark where the screws will need to go to secure it. Drill 1⁄16" pilot holes, then attach the 1" screws from the underside of the cabinet. You can use the washers to prevent the screw from going all the way through the cutting board.
5. Now, insert the drawers back in the case. Then fill the cabinets, hang your utensils using S-hooks, and make something delicious for dinner!
I was just looking for "how-to paint filing cabinets" yesterday! This blue is so cute, and I'm planning to do the same project pretty soon!
One question – Did you spray pain inside of the drawers? I'm debating about it right now…
Fantastic post!! I can ALWAYS use more kitchen storage space and prep surfaces. My kitchen is teeny! Thanks
Ooh, I can't wait to get my hands on this book. "Mid-century Modern" are the two words (well, two word-hyphenate) that best describe my favorite decorating style. You made my day!
I'm so getting this book! Thank you!
Wow! This is a fantastic project. I can't wait to try it out.
love. storing this idea away for future use. the big drawers are so perfect for things like mixing bowls and small appliances.
I've been curious exactly what type of paint to use on the filing cabinet that wouldn't chip or scratch easily – I never thought of spray paint, duh! Did you seal it with something additional?
Thanks for the ever excellent tutorial!
Oh wow – what a great idea!
this is such a great idea-love it!
i would love to know where you got that orange bowl and spoons!
seriously, this is genius. My mind id filled with ideas. I want to make hundreds of these all in different colors.
This would be do fun for a kid too. What a great way to invent a play kitchen. I love it!!!
this is such an obviously brilliant idea (why hasnt anyone thought of this before?) I love the look of butcher block but as a renter cant cover all my counters so this is perfect- where can I find butcher block that can be custom cut and purchased? any ideas for finding cheap scrap or leftover butcher block?
i remember seeing the first two projects in readymade magazine, in almost identical form.
wow, great project. It's got a nice industrial feel to it too.
woop! what perfect timing! i just found a file cabinet curbside the other day. thank you!
i love the turquoise colour!! it's absolutely beautiful!
LOVE this! I want to start on one right away. :-)
Great idea! hmmm now to get my husband to make it :)
I always find such great stuff here. What a great idea this is. What great extra storage as well as surface prep space. Now I know what to do with those old file cabinets whenever we finally get aroung to our office remodel.
Thank you. -
I'd be running a second strip of something beneath the towel rail to act as a bumper…cos those hanging implements will swing and bounce off the cabinet and chip the paint in real time use.
Thanks for the great comments, everyone! I hope everyone who bought the book enjoys it!
Also, we're taking suggestions for the topic of our next book in the Make It! series; so let 'em fly!

that's a great cutting board! Love it! {:-Deb
This looks great! The color caught my eye immediately, but then the fact that it's a great way to reuse something kinda hideous on its own. :) Thanks for the directions!
The cart looks great. I love light pastels!
love it, but would attach casters BEFORE painting.

There are all kinds of ways your behavior on Facebook can get you in trouble. Friending people you don't know, sharing details of new purchases, your address and vacation plans can come back to bite you. Here, a list of what not to post on Facebook, from Linda Criddle at the Safe Internet Alliance.

The rapper shared a series of sexy selfies via Instagram on Friday, Jan. 10—and they make past photo sessions seem tame. One picture featured the former American Idoljudge grabbing her left boob, while another image showed Minaj sucking her manicured fingers. In one NSFW shot, the 31-year-old musician sticking her tongue in between her middle and index fingers to seemingly mimic cunnilingus.
Yeah, she went there.
Minaj's motivations for posting the pictures are unclear, but it's not the first time she's put her body on display. After celebrating Halloween in 2013, for example, she posted photos of herself wearing nipple pasties, fishnet tights and a thong. Weeks earlier, she wore star-shaped leopard print pasties.
The rapper-turned-actress joined the social networking site in the summer of 2013 to shut down posers pretending to be her. "I do NOT have Instagram. OnikaM is NOT me," shetweeted on July 5. "Guess I have to make a real one to counter attack. I'm sure that's why Instagram won't delete it."
Time will tell if Minaj's selfie spree will continue into the New Year.
This spring, the hip-hop heavyweight will appear in her first feature length film, The Other Woman. Minaj will playCameron Diaz's assistant in the comedy, which also stars Leslie Mann and Kate Upton. "They're drop dead gorgeous," she recently told E! News of her colleagues. "I'm obsessed with the director, Nick Cassavetes, because when he believes in you, he fights for you, and I feel like he really fought for me to get this role. I was under so much pressure because I feel like if somebody fought for me to get something, it's like I wanna go really hard."
"When I got on set the first day, I was so nervous. Like, I was shaking! Cameron Diaz walks in the room and I'm just like, 'Kill me. Like, is this really happening?'" she continued. "She lights up the room, so all I could think of was, 'What if I do something and she thinks that I suck? What is she gonna say? Is she gonna demand that I be kicked off the movie?' I was just thinking crazy stuff. She came up to me in the middle of the day and was like, 'You're doing such a great job.' That melted me and that pushed me…Just to watch her in her element, it was like a dream come true."Follow @Infocelebrity on Twitter!

Van Daele (van Daelle, van Dale, van Dalen) was a family name rather common among the Flemish-Dutch Anabaptists and Mennonites. Four martyrs bearing this name were executed in Belgium: Lyntgen (Linken) van Dale and Heynderick van Dale, both executed at Antwerp in 1562, and Guillaume van Dale and Maurissus van Dale, both executed at Ghent, in 1562 and 1573 respectively. In the early seventeenth century members of the van Daele family were numerous in Aardenburg and Cadzand in the Dutch province of Zeeland. They were engaged in farming, and some of them were deacons of the church. Bardiolomeus van Daele (van Dale), a farmer, moved from Etichinenear Oudenaerden in Flanders, Belgium, to Cadzand, where he became a preacher about 1629. This family name was also found in Rotterdam and Haarlem, Holland. In Haarlem some of the van Dale (van Dalen) family were deacons, while Anton van Dale (1638-1708) was a preacher mere, as also was Mathys van Dalen (d. 1707), for whom his colleague D. Voorhelm held a funeral sermon, Lyck-Reden (Haarlem, 1707). Jacob Cornelisz van Dalen (1608-1664) was a preacher in Amsterdam. It could not be determined whether the bearers of this name were related or not.

Miller Edge partners with CPL
Miller Edge, West Grove, Pa., has pledged its support of Canine Partners for Life (CPL), a nationally recognized service dog organization.
The mission of CPL is to increase the independence and quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments by providing professionally trained service dogs and support services. Recipients who benefit from this program are those who have muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, spinal bifida, cerebral palsy, and polio, for example.
Roseanne Ortega, a Miller employee, has been working with the CPL since 2004. "Our job is to provide a temporary home for the puppy and expose the dog to everyday experiences and situations while teaching them basic obedience training," Ortega said.
The puppy arrives at a home when it is approximately seven weeks old and is kept for about one year until it is handed over to CPL trainers for more advanced training.
