A truck without a trailer is just an expensive two-seater that gets poor gas mileage. At Wiley Metal we understand that a trailer is the business end of a truck. Like a Saturday night crowd at a biker bar, trailers get loaded, beat up and hauled away.
Utility trucks are integral in keeping our power on, our cable TV operating, our water flowing and our internet operating. If they delivered pizza they would be the best vehicle ever. Utility trucks serve as the workplace for thousands of hard working people in utility based and related industries.
A motorhome can be a relatively simple "home away from home" or they can be an extravagant Hilton on wheels. It's not unusual for some to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to "get away from it all".
They say close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. We can't verify that. However, we can tell you that close isn't even in the neighborhood when it comes to our high precision products.
Here at Wiley Metal, we recently constructed a Tiki Bar out of scrap metal...
"just for funsies"
Although we didn't realize it at the time, what we really created was a symbol of our organization and who we are as people.
A Tiki Bar is a great spot for a social gathering right? A place to talk about the successes of the day and/or the challenges you face. We dig that.
Either way, we want to hear about it, be apart of it, and hope to help. This is not just a website, but a two-way street where we engage our network… determined to improve your business and life!
The Wiley Metal Tiki Bar will continuously provide you with...
For when we can't meet up face-to-face, know that someone here @ Wiley Metal is waiting for you to pull up a chair.
Thanks for stopping by,

Well, what have we here? It seems that popular mega-retailer Target has quietly released an Android application into the market. Though the 1.0.1 release is still fairly basic, it still manages to sport all the basics people might need from an Android app, and will hopefully only get better with time.
The main screen has three ways to view Target content; users can view the weekly ad for their region, view clearance items, or college essentials. I assume the college essentials will be a seasonal topic that will change from time to time, but without an official press release (that I can find anyway), it's a bit too soon to tell.
After perusing a bit through some items, it doesn't appear that you can purchase anything directly through the Target application, but you can view the item's availability at nearby stores (right down to the aisle you can find the product on), and get directions and store hours for your store of choice. This feature could come in pretty handy, though it would be very nice to see them add the ability to purchase items from directly within the application.
One additional feature the Target app integrates that is a bit surprising is a barcode scanner. I don't know what use the barcode scanner is going to have other than looking up a price for something that might not have a price displayed, but the inclusion of the scanner is enough to pique my curiosity. I don't believe Target would go the route of allowing customers to price compare like a ShopSavvy or a Barcode Scanner would, so time will tell whether or not the barcode scanner will actually come in handy for anything.
The Target app is currently available in the Android Market for the low, low price of free. Head on over to the market and download it today! Make sure to let us know what you think about the Target application in the comments.

The color of midnight is synonymous with the witching hour when the souls of the dead are closest to us and all is dark and spooky. Imagine the silhouette of a bat, a witch's pointy hat and, of course, the proverbial bad-luck black cat.
But creepy crawlies and sinister potions aside, the color black — or as close as nature gets to it — is actually a fun and surprising color to work into your garden, at All Hallows' Eve or anytime. From deer-resistant "Coal Seam" black bearded iris (plant the bulbs now!) to the "Sorbet Black Delight" viola, which loves the cooler weather, there are foothill-friendly plants to consider planting now to add a shock of near-black flowers or foliage to your garden. Of the following examples, most are perennial in our climate zone.
"Black Lace" Elderberry (Sambucas nigra) is a gorgeous, large bush with finely cut leaves reminiscent of Japanese maples. The foliage is purple black, and in spring it sports soft pink flowers. In autumn the bush is loaded with purple-red berries that birds love and that you can harvest to make jam or wine. The leaves, stems and unripe berries are toxic though, so situate the bush accordingly.
"Midnight Ruffles" Lenten rose (Hellebore) is perfect for the cool, shady woodland garden. Its near-black blooms with white and yellow centers put on a show from mid-winter through early spring. The plant itself grows to 20 inches tall and almost as wide. The Lenten rose was so named because it usually blooms during the season of Lent. And while there won't be any flowers at Halloween, the plant was used centuries ago in witchcraft and medicinally, so if you're so inclined …
"Obsidian" coral bells (Heuchera) offers maroon-black foliage on another beloved woodland plant. It prefers part to full shade and sends up tall, slim stems topped with small pink or white flowers in spring.
Bugleweed (Ajuga) is another "black" plant that, like vampires, doesn't do well in full sun. It is a fast-growing, attractive groundcover with coal-dark green leaves. In mid- to late spring, it forms dramatic stalks of purple flowers.
"Victoriana Silver Lace Black" primrose is a rare variety in nurseries but worth hunting for. Its scalloped flower petals are black-brown, edged in white, and whorl around a yellow center.
Black mondo grass is a dense, purplish black, mounding plant that is great for borders or interspersed among other plants that prefer regular water. It produces dark lavender flowers in summer that are followed by purple berries in the fall.
Thinking about next spring, there are several calla lilies with purple-black blooms. Two other sun-loving, tropical-looking beauties are "Black Coral Elephant Ear (Colocasia) and "Black Knight" Canna, both from 4 to 6 feet tall with giant leaves. Especially good in pots are "Black Prince" coleus and the velvety "Black Cat" petunia (you can buy seeds now online).
Getting back to the scary season at hand, how about this dark-as-night oddball: "Japanese Black Kabocha," a knobby-skinned, almost-black "pumpkin" with yellow-orange flesh that's wickedly good. Find one now and you can not only have the coolest Jack-O'-Lantern on the block, but also seeds to plant next year's yummy — if not creepy — crop!

Rent growth may slow as housing supply grows
Share on
Property management companies and landlords may find themselves accepting lower rents in the coming months as they seek to fill units.
This is because a substantial number of new properties are expected to reach completion and become available. That could take some time, however, as demand remains high. In particular, young adults are forming many new households as pent-up demand from recent years is released, MPF Research reports. They typically rent and have accounted for a large proportion of job growth recently, feeding rental housing demand more than usual.
"There's no question that pricing momentum now isn't quite where it was a few months ago," said Greg Willett, vice president at MPF Research. "For many owners and operators, the soft patch seen in job production has raised concerns that apartment demand could prove sluggish during the last half of the year."
Overall, effective rent growth slowed down during the second quarter of this year, although it remains faster than long-term norms. Quarterly effective rent growth was 1.2 percent, compared to 4 percent annually. The annual rate of growth was 4.8 percent at the end of last year. Occupancy has also risen, from 94.9 to 95.2 percent. In mid-2011, it was only 94.4 percent.

Proposed Legislation Would Allow Roadside Tests for Drugged Driving
With drunk driving on the decline and drugged driving on the rise, Michigan lawmakers have proposed legislation to curb these dangers on the road. Two laws passed in the Senate would allow police to conduct roadside saliva tests and make warrantless arrests based on their results. Both laws have stalled in the House Judiciary Committee.
Saliva Tests and Pilot Programs
A Michigan DUI defense attorney helps clients who have failed sobriety tests or refused to take tests when suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol. Senate Bill 207, which passed 29-9, would allow officers with special training to arrest someone based on the results of a saliva test combined with suspicion based on erratic driving and impairment. Most tests would be admissible in court when there is a challenge to an arrest's validity.
Senate Bill 434, which passed the Senate 28-10, would establish a pilot program for the saliva tests in five Michigan counties. Over the course of one calendar year, police departments with one officer considered an expert in drug recognition would be eligible to enforce the law in their jurisdiction. Data from the arrests and challenges to the law would determine whether the law was rolled out for all of Michigan.
Fourth Amendment Concerns
Detroit lawmakers expressed concerns about citizens' rights under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution when objecting to the law. A Michigan DUI defense attorney is used to protecting clients from warrantless arrest, and the laws in question bring up some of the issues defense attorneys have had with other sobriety tests.
In the case of the proposed laws, drivers who refused the tests could be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor, as they currently can from a failed preliminary breath test (PBT). The Senate sponsor of the law said the saliva tests would be conducted in the same fashion as a PBT. Commercial drivers who refuse the test and are guilty of a misdemeanor may have their driving privileges revoked.
If you have been arrested for drunk or drugged driving, you need an expert Michigan DUI defense attorney to guide you through your defense. Contact Peter J. Johnson Law Office, PLLC, for the best representation in the greater Southwest Michigan area. For further information or to schedule an appointment please contact us at 269.982.1100 or visit www.AttorneyPeterJohnson.com.

So you're interested in developing a new content marketing strategy. Obviously, you're going to want to know if what you create will attract the attention you desire.
A great way to do this is to look at your competitors and big sites to see what's working for them. A little bit of research can go a long way!
This is what Boom Online Marketing did with developing their content marketing plan, and rather than deciding to keep their findings to themselves they've put it into a handy infographic so that you can see what they've discovered.
The data collected shows what has worked for the Econsultancy blog and which of their posts get the most links. This data includes when a popular post was published, how many comments it had, what subject the post was about and whether or not it was a guest post. The guys at Boom were then able to draw conclusions from the data to see what would work best.
These techniques that Boom Online Marketing used to find this information can be utilised by anyone to understand what content would pull people into their site. Tools including Open Site Explorer and social crawlytics are available free and were used in the creation of this infographic.

Moving Files/Directories in WiFi File Explorer
Well, that has now changed with the latest update to the application. Now when you click the 'Create Copy' action next to a file (or a directory now as well) you will be given a popup dialog with contains the path to wear you want to create that copy. By default it gives the current directory, but you can specify any directory you like that you have permission to write to, or you can create a new directory by typing it into the dialog, again as long as you have permission to create it in that location. Then when you hit 'OK' it will copy the file/directory you have chosen, paste it in the location you specified and then reload the page into that pasted location ... hey presto - copy & paste!
So now you have two copies of that file/directory on your Android device. That may be exactly what you wanted, but what if you wanted something more akin to cut & paste? Simple; just go back to the location of the original file/directory and delete it!
There will be another update coming real soon that allows you to also use the 'Create Copy' action on multiple files/directories that have been selected using the check boxes to make it easier to move around files/directories in batch. In fact, by the time you read this it may even be already available!

If this is a medical emergency, call 911.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder. Children with ITP may bruise or bleed easily because the disease destroys platelets in the blood. The condition is pronounced im-YOON throm-boh-syt-oh-PEE-nee-ah.
Platelets are the blood cells that help form clots to stop bleeding and close wounds. The immune system usually helps prevent and fight infection. In ITP, the immune system attacks and destroys the body's platelets instead. This happens mainly in the spleen.
ITP is also called immune thrombocytopenic purpura or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
For most children, ITP goes away within 6 months, often within a few weeks. When ITP lasts longer than 12 months, it is called chronic ITP. Chronic ITP happens in about 1 in 5 children with ITP.
We are not sure what causes ITP. It sometimes happens when children:
Even though ITP can start with a virus, it is not an infection. Your child cannot catch ITP from someone else.
Experts at our Cancer and Blood Disorders Center focus on helping you understand what's happening with your child's platelets and how to know if a more serious problem is developing.
Often ITP goes away on its own in weeks or months. Our experience helps us know when your child does need treatment and which treatment is best for them.
Please contact the center at 206-987-2106 for more information, a second opinion or to make an appointment.
Our doctors are nationally known for treating children who have blood disorders. The doctors who guide your child's care have extra training and years of experience in giving the expert care your child needs. They constantly expand their knowledge about blood disorders and the latest research.
We keep a careful watch on your child's health. If your child needs treatment, we offer a full range of medicines and surgery to remove the spleen, if needed. We recommend the right treatment at the right time to have the best results for your child and your family.
We care for your whole child. Your family has a full team behind you, including doctors, nurses, social workers and other specialists as needed. Read more about the supportive care we offer.
Our specialty is treating children's conditions while helping them grow up to be healthy and productive. For more than a decade, U.S. News & World Report has consistently ranked Seattle Children's Cancer Center among the best in the nation. In 2018, our program again ranked #1 in the Northwest.
Children don't react to illness, injury, pain and medicine in the same way as adults. They need – and deserve – care designed just for them.
Our doctors have special training in how to diagnose and treat children with blood disorders. Our experts base their treatment plans on years of experience and the newest research on what works best – and most safely – for children.
Although ITP is mild in some children, other kids have serious bleeding problems. We will see your child in our clinic or emergency department that same day if they have signs of active bleeding such as a nosebleed lasting longer than 5 minutes or blood in their bowel movements (stool) or pee (urine). Some children need to stay overnight in the hospital for treatment. If needs are not urgent, new patients can be seen within a week.
During visits, we take time to explain your child's condition. We help you fully understand your treatment options and make the choices that are right for your family.
Our child life specialists and social workers help your child and your family through the challenges of this condition. We connect you to community resources and support groups.
At Seattle Children's, we work with many children and families from around the Northwest and beyond. Whether you live nearby or far away, we can help with financial counseling, schooling, housing, transportation, interpreter services and spiritual care. Read about our services for patients and families.
Most symptoms of ITP are from bleeding problems because your child has fewer platelets than normal. Symptoms may include:
Different health problems can cause low platelet levels. Your child's healthcare team will talk to you in detail about your child's health. They will ask about your child's:
To find out if your child has ITP, their healthcare provider will:
Children with ITP can lead active, normal lives. Many children do not need treatment. ITP often goes away on its own in a few weeks or months.
We watch your child closely and recommend the right treatments at the right time. Treatment does not cure ITP, but it will often increase the number of platelets. Most treatments slow down loss of platelets. A few treatments help your child make more platelets.
Often, children who need medicine or blood products into their vein (infusion) can get care without having to spend a night in the hospital. Our outpatient infusion unit is staffed by expert nurses and is open on weekends.
Many people wonder about blood transfusions as a treatment. We almost never use platelet transfusions to treat ITP because the spleen quickly destroys the new platelets.
At Seattle Children's we care for children with ITP in these ways:
If your child does not have serious bleeding symptoms, we usually recommend watchful waiting. This means we regularly check your child for symptoms of active bleeding and provide treatment if needed. These symptoms include:
We help you and your child lower the risk of bleeding problems.
Your provider will recommend that your child:
Call your provider if your child has these signs of bleeding problems:

Steroids (such as prednisone or dexamethasone) decrease antibody production and may help slow down how fast the spleen removes platelets from the blood. Usually, your child takes these medicines by mouth.
If your child gets this treatment, their team will talk with you about how to manage side effects, such as:
Immunoglobulin (ih-myoo-noe-GLAH-byoo-lin) contains many proteins that fight infection (antibodies). It may help block the antibodies that destroy platelets.
It is given into your child's vein over several hours. This is called an intravenous (IV)infusion. IV immunoglobulin (IVIG) is also called IV gamma globulin. It is made from blood plasma (the liquid part of blood) from healthy donors.
Children who need IVIG usually stay overnight in the hospital. We watch your child for side effects that happen in some children. These include nausea or headache.
If your child's ITP is very serious or long lasting, your doctor will talk with you about other medicines. Some are taken by mouth, and some are given by an injection.
Your doctor may recommend 1 or more of these:
If your child's ITP is severe and medicine is not working, your doctor may recommend removing your child's spleen. This is called splenectomy.
Normally, the spleen makes proteins called antibodies that help fight infection. In children with ITP, these antibodies destroy platelets instead.
Without a spleen, your child has an increased risk of infection. Your doctor will explain how to help avoid infections, such as getting extra immunizations. Your team will tell you what symptoms to watch for.
We usually check your child's platelet count at each clinic visit. Your provider will talk with you about other times your child's platelet count should be checked, such as:
When the platelet count is normal (above 100,000) or close to normal and stable, we can stop checking. But your child's platelet count should be checked again if:
We will work with you and with your primary care provider to decide where to have blood tests done and who can help explain the results.
Contact the Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at 206-987-2106 for an appointment, a second opinion or more information.
To make an appointment, you can call us directly or get a referral from your child's primary care provider. We encourage you to coordinate with your pediatrician or family doctor when coming to Seattle Children's.
Providers, see how to refer a patient.

Quick Reference
Gigantic marble statue of Hercules leaning sideways on his club and resting after his labours, once part of the Farnese collection and now in the Archaeological Museum in Naples. It is signed by an Athenian sculptor named Glycon and is a copy of a lost original of the 4th century bc, probably by Lysippus. The figure was discovered in the Baths of Caracalla in Rome in about 1546 and became highly influential and much copied. Its powerful musculature and realistic surface treatment were particularly admired by Baroque artists.

How to Grow Your Business in Tough Times – And Emerge a Winner
It's no secret that times are tough and the economy's problems are impacting many industries. We have been blessed to be part of the high growth games industry and specifically the online games industry that has seen explosive growth. But if things are so good in our industry, why are studios closing, publishers losing money and people getting laid off? What can you do to make sure your company makes it? The climate has changed, things are tougher and now more than ever there are opportunities for you to win big.
Its tough out there and you can do it. Here are some reflections on the changing business climate and a few ideas and steps you can implement at your company today to help you succeed.
- Accept the Current Situation. If you're fearful, admit it. How long will your cash last? If you're not sure, find out today. Don't get caught in the headlights. Now is the time to come up with a plan that leads you to the top. Just because we get paid to make games and have fun doesn't make us recession proof. Like any business, we need to create great products and experiences for our customers.
- Get Focused – What does your business do better than anyone else? What differentiates you and why will you win? Huddle with your team so you're all on the same page. Set very clear goals for your business and measure your progress weekly.
- Do the Math – Look at your finances. Do you need more funding, how much, when and why? Are you profitable and if not, when? Times are tough and venture capitalists won't fund anything just because it's an online game, tool or virtual worlds. They will ask you to do more with less. Get ahead of them – you must have a focused value proposition and clear plan to make money. Your cash flow statement is your bible, review it weekly.
- Eliminate "Nice to Have" Stuff – A company I was talking with at CES told me of their 3 great interconnected services to help improve online gamers' experiences yet only 1 of these made money. They had just done a VC raise and the other services were draining cash. Did they really need the other 2 for the first to succeed? No, but the CEO loved the idea of all 3 things together. To win you first need to survive. Cut anything you can't afford or is losing money.
- Build your Dream Team Now – There's lots of great talent available out there. If your business is on a winning track, find some A-list people to hire (full time or as consultants) today. Show them loyalty and commitment and you'll be handsomely rewarded. Be honest with your existing team and be clear on your goals and what needs to be achieved. Great people will rise to the occasion, weak people drop out.
- Get Some Help – Talk to your board, advisors, VCs, competitors, colleagues. Tap into your community's knowledge base. Many people have been there before and can help. Ask your team for input. Take some quiet time to work "on your business" instead of "in your business" where it's non-stop fire drills. Consider a mentor or a coach.
- Love Your Customers! If you're a B2B company, ask your clients what you can do to help them. Come up with an idea to help them improve their business results. Solutions will get you more business. If you're a consumer company, pay close attention to what they are doing in your game. Competition is brutal – a recent article found more than 200 online kids' games alone were now in some phase of development. If your product is great and you show users the love, they will love back twice as much. Give them an opportunity to be your "story teller" through social networks, referral programs and increased visibility and status.
- Get Strong – Look at opportunities to grow with investments, acquisitions and mergers. Prices have come down and there are deals for the leaders with bold vision. One of my clients has been successful adding to their development efforts by acquiring several small, talented teams who were startups but realized they wanted focus on their work, not trying to build a company.
- Make Some Noise! – Some companies choose to reduce their marketing and ad budgets. There are several opportunities for you to get noticed in this market with smart advertising, marketing and PR. Here are a few ideas: http://bx.businessweek.com/advertising-in-a-recession/
- Don't Forget What's Really Important, Have Some Fun! – Give yourself and your team time to relax and have fun. Get exercise, try to eat better make quality time with your loved ones. Though this may sound counter-intuitive, these things will help you stay calm, focused and powered up.
In conclusion, sure the climate has changed. That gives us more opportunities to be creative. We'll need to be better, faster and more valuable to our customers. We are part of an innovative fun industry with unlimited growth potential. If we stay focused on our passion and think about why we love inventing new things, pushing the envelope and creating new ways to entertain the world we can deal even with the biggest challenges. That passion combined with a realistic plan should help us weather the new climate and position ourselves to level up to meet the coming challenges.

Event – Climate Movement Convergence – Saturday 9 February 2008
Posted in Events, Movements, Visions by Ferne Edwards on January 16th, 2008
The information below is from the Friends of the Earth website.
Over the past few years, we have seen the emergence of a new social change movement, driven by an inspiring new wave of grassroots community activism. Around the country there are literally dozens of new groups, campaigning for effective action on climate change.
As yet, this new movement has not been able to gather in the one place. The climate movement convergence seeks to create this space in a one day forum, aiming to bring together the remarkably diverse climate change community we have here in Victoria, including local climate action groups, peak green groups, thinkers and strategists, social activists and other sectors concerned about climate change, and progressive businesses.
We aim to provide an inspiring day of workshops, open space for discussions, an overview of the latest climate science, ideas on building a strong and vibrant movement, and the opportunity to ponder what opportunities are now present with a change in federal government.
The program covers:
* analysis of opportunities for change under the Rudd ALP government
* a download of recent climate science
* an overview of current theories and models for taking action on climate change
* inspirational examples of what climate change groups, businesses, development organisations, social justice groups,
unions and others are already doing to tackle climate change
* workshops – there are two workshop sessions – one on campaign themes, and one based on geographical regions.
Anyone can propose a workshop.
The full program is available at: http://www.foe.org.au/climate-justice/media/news-items/front-page-news-feed-1/climate-movement-convergence-victoria-february-9

The twilight was soaked with millions of colors, blinking lights, short and long lines Strange text labels were forming interesting puzzles, slowly moving trough the pitch black substance of the rooms interior, making their way between differently colored patches three-dimensional fog, formed out of tiny, small or bigger light dots. The warrior in the shadows was almost unseen, facing the center of the bright Star Map. The bizarre armchair that he was sitting in made a sudden move and quietly approached the lower side of the light structure. Then slowly turn its move towards one conglomerate of star projections and smoothly stopped, levitating in the darkness between three regions: blue, purple and red. In very close proximity to the purple region one of the text labels was pulsating with bright glow and slowly moving north. Behind it there were neither red, nor blue or purple lights anymore there was only a cone, painted with charcoal, crowned with light, light turned now with the same color as the bright text label. Other small labels were scattered around the black cone, all of them dim and weakly glowing also with the same color Before that such important bright label other labels red, purple and blue - were moving away very fast, ghastly glowing and dimming The invasion has begun the enemy was penetrating deeper and deeper inside the former borders of the once great house. He was taking no prisoners the loyal imperators were cruelly crushed, their ships annihilated, their man will never see the blue, blue grass of home again Others were trying to escape, setting their courses to the least probable next jump position of the invader, hoping that their efforts will not be in vain But, few will be the lucky ones So, the time has come! The time, when our strengths have to be put on test, our weapons to face the enemy, our forces to drop from the heavens with the speed of light and enter the chaos of a battle, where only the unrested souls of thousands heroic creatures will soar above the battlefield, searching for revenge for their deaths! Deaths, caused by the greed for blood and pain of a mind, ruling an empire of darkness mind cold and cruel, dreaming for destruction and aiming his eyes at the wealthy northern star clusters, now undefended. The warrior moved his hand, covered with scars and simply pointed at the advancing text label. It instantly changed its shape and popped up enlarged, clear and easy to read.

The prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of American teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba is now wanted by Peruvian cops for viciously murdering a 21-year-old woman — exactly five years to the day after Holloway vanished.
Joran van der Sloot, 22, is believed to have brutally stabbed Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramirez in his Lima hotel room before rolling her corpse into a blanket and checking out Sunday.
Van der Sloot fled Peru on a bus Monday, slipping into neighboring Chile en route to Argentina, authorities said.
The blood-splattered body of Flores — the daughter of a former Peruvian presidential candidate — was discovered in van der Sloot's hotel room only yesterday.
An arrest warrant for the suspect, a Dutch national, has been issued by the international police agency Interpol. Chilean police early today were scouring the areas near the northern border with Peru, hotels and backpacker hostels for van der Sloot.
"This is my daughter's assassin," said Flores' dad, Ricardo Flores, a prominent circus operator, politician and former race-car driver, according to CBS News.
"We have all the evidence to show that the killer is this man," Flores, 48, told CNN en Español.
"My daughter was stabbed. I think there was some kind of fight. The autopsy will determine that," he said.
But van der Sloot's New York lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, cautioned people not to jump to conclusions.
"Joran has a bull's-eye on his back, and any time there is any foul play that could be connected to Joran, he's an automatic suspect," Tacopina said.
"It doesn't mean he killed her."
Tacopina said van der Sloot has not contacted him since he fled Lima.
Holloway, a blond, 18-year-old high-school student from Alabama, disappeared in Aruba after last being seen with van der Sloot outside a nightclub.
Van der Sloot never was charged in Holloway's disappearance, despite being arrested and detained twice by authorities in Aruba.
It looks as if he won't be so lucky in the Flores case.
The head of the criminal-investigation unit of Peru's national police, Gen. Cesar Guardia Vasquez, yesterday told reporters that "homicide personnel are convinced, due to the incriminating evidence we've found, that this Dutch citizen is the person responsible for killing Stephany Flores."
Van der Sloot, who has gallivanted around the world since Holloway's disappearance on the Caribbean island, flew to Peru from Colombia to play in a poker tournament at the Atlantic City Casino in Lima. It's unclear if he was with any friends at the time.
He checked into the Miraflores Hotel Tac in Lima on May 14.
Guardia said surveillance video shows van der Sloot and Flores, herself a poker aficionado, together in the casino Saturday night.
Flores' dad said that he did not believe his daughter previously had known van der Sloot and speculated that they began chatting in English, which both spoke, when they met at the casino, according to CNN.
Flores left the casino to drop off some girlfriends at 2:35 a.m. Sunday, but then apparently returned.
Police said a guest and worker at the Miraflores Hotel Tac saw van der Sloot and Flores entering his room there at about 5 a.m. Sunday.
Van der Sloot then checked out of the hotel alone just four hours after arriving there with Flores, Guardia said.
It was not clear why it took three days for Flores' body to be discovered. Her corpse, which was clothed, was lying face down on the floor, with abrasions on her face and body and signs of trauma, according to Guardia.
Flores' father, who for days had feared his daughter had been kidnapped, told reporters that authorities believe she was slain at about 8 a.m. Sunday in van der Sloot's room.
Ricardo Flores also said that police found Stephany Flores' car about 50 blocks from the Miraflores Hotel, and that inside the vehicle were pills similar to ones used for date rapes, CNN reported.
Holloway disappeared on May 30, 2005, while she was on a high-school graduation trip to Aruba.
She was last seen with then-17-year-old van der Sloot and two pals, brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, outside a nightclub, Carlos'n Charlie's, on the island.
The ensuing mystery about what happened to Holloway generated a media firestorm. Her body has never been found.
Van der Sloot was arrested in connection with the case in June 2005 and again in 2007. But he was never charged because of lack of evidence.
Still, the sensational case has continued to generate headlines for years, particularly over reports that van der Sloot has occasionally revealed details about what actually happened to Holloway that night.
In 2008, a Dutch journalist claimed van der Sloot had confessed to murdering her and then dumping her body in the sea. Two years later, a Dutch newspaper reported that van der Sloot had said Holloway fell off a balcony while drunk.
Van der Sloot's prominent lawyer dad, Paulus, died while playing tennis in Aruba at the age of 57 in February.
Yesterday, a spokeswoman for the Aruba prosecutor's office said Joran remains the main suspect in the Holloway case.
"What's happening now is incredible," said Ann Angela, the spokeswoman. "At the moment, we don't have anything to do with it, but we are following the case with great interest, and if Peruvian authorities would need us, we are here."
Holloway's mother, Elizabeth Twitty, had no comment yesterday, according to her spokeswoman, Sunny Tillman.
Holloway's dad, Dave Holloway, did not return a call seeking comment.
But the co-author of a book that Dave Holloway wrote about his daughter's case lashed out at van der Sloot.
"I'm not surprised by this new development. I never doubted that Joran was capable of hurting women," said R. Stephanie Good, co-author of "Aruba: The Tragic Untold Story of Natalee Holloway and Corruption in Paradise."
"I really hope that he gets what's coming to him," Good said. "It's long overdue."
Kathy Drenga, a Connecticut EMT who has traveled to Aruba to research the Holloway case and who maintained a Web site that tracked the search for Natalee's body, said of van der Sloot, "I really hope they catch him. I'd really like to see him pay."

Orange-Spice Banana Bread
If you're like me, you always have overripe bananas sitting on your counter top. I have good intentions to eat all the bananas, but there is always at least one or two that get brown spots before I can eat them. I usually make my favorite banana bread, the Ultimate Banana Bread, but I didn't have quite enough ripe bananas to make a loaf this time. So I went searching for a different banana bread to try out on my family. I came across this Orange-Spiced Banana Bread and was intrigued. A citrus-infused banana bread? I was all over it! Packed full of mashed bananas, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg and crunchy toasted walnuts for a breakfast treat your whole family will enjoy. One bite of this delicious bread and you will look forward to the bananas on the counter turning soft and mushy. 😀
One Year Ago: Chocolate Chip Scones
Orange-Spice Banana Bread
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1 1/4 cups toasted walnuts, chopped coarse (about 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
- 3 very ripe bananas, soft, darkly speckled, mashed well (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 2 large eggs, beaten lightly
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of regular loaf pan (or grease and flour bottom and sides of nonstick loaf pan); set aside.
- In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange zest; set aside.
- In a medium bowl mix mashed bananas, yogurt, eggs, butter, and vanilla with wooden spoon. Lightly fold banana mixture into dry ingredients with rubber spatula until just combined and batter looks thick and chunky. Scrape batter into prepared loaf pan; bake until loaf is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Yields: 1 9-inch loaf
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 55 minutes

Wouldn't it be good to put the juice from an orange in this? You could add a little more flour or reduce the yogurt or butter to compensate for the additional liquid.
I was going to make a blueberry lemon loaf for my meeting tomorrow… but I've just changed my mind;) This is perfect and I have all the ingredients!!
Yum! I love the pop that citrus adds to baked goods. Grapefruit would be good too!
Side note: do you ever freeze your bananas? That's what I often do when I can't eat them fast enough. They are great for smoothies or oatmeal!
Wow This looks real good…
I make banana bread very often, I can bet addition of citrus will really enhance the flavors…
Will try soon.
Well, Christina, you've done it again! Orange used in banana bread is totally new to me and something I cannot wait to try.
What a great idea – and a good way for me to use up all the oranges we currently have here!
Have you tried experimenting with half white/half wheat flour…or the new "white" whole wheat? The change really ups the fiber content. I like this orange idea, gets me past the traditional cinnammon/nutmeg combo. Thanks for sharing!
I do make many recipes using half white/half wheat flour, but I haven't used the white whole wheat yet. I haven't been able to find it in any of my local stores. I might have to go online! 🙂
Mmm, I could use a snack about now, and orange spice bread sounds lovely!
This sounds so delicious and would never have thought to use orange in a banana loaf. I'm book marking this recipe now!
I always have overripe bananas on the counter. And then I buy more at the store. It's a problem, really.
I have the opposite problem, i eat all my bananas even when I want to save them to make banana bread, etc. What I have to do is buy more than I could possibly eat several days before I want to bake something with them, otherwise none will make it.

Beyond McCain: Ron Paul's supporters hope to reshape the GOP
The GOP is the party of limited government. It's the party that touts fiscal responsibility. It claims to be the party of principle. The Minnesota Republican Party puts a premium on loyalty, yet it doesn't bind national convention delegates to its caucus presidential poll. So why is the state GOP being so hard on Ron Paul supporters with track records of supporting limited government, fiscal conservatism and loyal service to Republican candidates?
After Paul supporters won six of 12 delegate slots to the GOP national convention at Fourth, Fifth and Sixth District conventions in early April, GOP leadership expressed attitudes toward Paul supporters that ranged from dismissal to outright antagonism. But among rank and file conservative GOPers, there is a begrudging respect for the Paulites' quixotic quest to drag the Republican Party kicking and screaming back to its Goldwater/Reagan principles.
"We're telling our fellow Republicans that it's OK to defend the Constitution," said Minnesota state coordinator for Ron Paul, Marianne Stebbins. We're telling them it's OK to speak up against amnesty [for illegal immigrants]. We're even acknowledging that nation building might not be the best idea and that we should stick to defense, particularly that of our borders.
"We're not getting vast numbers to say 'get rid of the Federal Reserve,' but we are hearing more talk about 'sound money,'" she added.
Establishment vs. grass roots
Paul supporters captured two of three national delegate seats and all three alternate spots in the heavily conservative Sixth District. (Rep. Michele Bachmann, who has rock star appeal among conservatives, captured the third delegate spot).
"We knew they [Paul supporters] were coming and they were willing to lie, cheat and steal — maybe not steal, but they were willing to say anything," Sixth District Vice Chair Andy Aplikowski told the Star Tribune.
"They hijacked the convention," Jeff Johnson, Minnesota Senate District 15 co-chairman, told WorldNetDaily.
Following Paul's success at the GOP district conventions, Minnesota Republican Party Chairman Ron Carey said that the delegates' decision not to unite behind McCain only hurts the Republican Party.
Minnesota GOP communications director Mark Drake said: "I would just say that the nomination has been decided and John McCain is going to be the Republican on the ticket running against Senator Clinton or Obama. Ron Paul had his chance but didn't win."
Although the Republican nomination is not in doubt — Arizona Sen. John McCain has more than the requisite number of pledged delegates necessary to secure the GOP nomination — the Minnesota delegate drama threatens to hoist the state GOP on its own petard. Minnesota Republicans have talked the talk of grassroots activism and a bottom-up process. Will they walk the walk when Tweedledown doesn't agree with Tweedleup?
"Until the nomination is done [at the convention], we should continue debate," argues Stebbins. "Even if Ron Paul may not be the Republican nominee, it's still healthy for the party to debate the issues."
Principle vs. pragmatism
There are significant differences on campaign issues between Paul and McCain. Many are simply policy differences, not unlike those among the once-crowded GOP field vying for the nomination. Others, however, are nuanced by an appeal to principle rather than the pragmatism of appealing to polls and popular sentiment.
"Ron Paul's platform is the Constitution. McCain-Feingold [campaign finance reform] is a blow to political speech and the First Amendment," said Stebbins. "Ron Paul believes national defense includes defending our own borders. McCain-Kennedy [immigration reform] mocks the rule of law through amnesty and leaves our borders open and our defense vulnerable. Ron Paul believes in reducing the size and intrusiveness of government, reducing spending. McCain-Lieberman [climate stewardship] is a bloated invasion of bigger government. ... Ron Paul wants to return government to its proper role, [deferring power] back to the states."
While many in the conservative camp of the state GOP come down on the Paul side of the equation on immigration and fiscal issues, the big point of departure is Paul's unequivocal opposition to the war in Iraq. Paul was one of six Republicans voting against authorization of use of force in Iraq.
"My number one issue with the Ron Paul movement is it's anti-war/isolationism. I see no room for internal debate on where the party stands on that issue," said Aplikowski. "The Democratic Party is much more the home for the anti-war sentiment the Ron Paul people I have dealt with hold."
However, unlike many Democrats, including Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who voted for authorization in the Senate, Paul's vote was not affected by statements about weapons of mass destruction. His support for U.S. withdrawal, unlike Clinton's position, isn't predicated on being somehow misled by the administration. Paul's position on Iraq is based on principles that many would argue are fundamentally conservative.
"Ron Paul argues that only Congress has the constitutional power to declare war," Stebbins said. "He believes preemptive war is a mistake and causes more security problems than it solves. If regime change is a legitimate reason to go to war, where do we stop?
"We have already been successful in reframing the debate in the GOP, at least to a degree," Stebbins added. "And there is still a debate. We're hearing that many grassroots party members are privately relieved that, in the wake of the election of Ron Paul delegates, we're not going quietly down that slippery slope to the left."
Some long-time GOP activists like Aplikowski, who have also criticized the GOP from the right, say the Paul people want to take over the party and expel anyone who disagrees with their libertarian social and foreign policy views.
"It is really a little annoying for some of us who not only have been trying to hold the party accountable, but also spent years building it up to have a bunch of strangers come in and throw us out with the bath water with misleading tactics," said Aplikowski.
'We are Republicans'
Stebbins sees the Paul-inspired controversy between the party establishment and grassroots activists as a battle over power, not necessarily a conflict over issues or a conservative/libertarian split.
"There are Paul supporters working for [Sixth District Rep.] Michele Bachmann [Second District Rep.] John Kline and Barb Davis-White," GOP congressional candidate in the Fifth District, said Stebbins. "We are Republicans."
Stebbins has been heavily involved in the Republican Party for 16 years. Twice Stebbins chaired her district Basic Political Organizational Unit, the ongoing foundation of local Republican activity between election cycles. She ran for the state Senate as a Republican, and was a staffer on campaigns for Republicans Tad Jude and Gen Olson, a Young Republican National committeewoman and more. That's hardly the resume of an interloper into GOP politics. Among Paul supporters, Stebbins is the rule, not the exception.
Steve Rogers, who is a delegate to the national GOP convention from North Minneapolis, is a long-time Republican and a member of the Minneapolis Republican Committee. He's been a GOP ward and precinct chair. Attracted to Paul because he is a "principled" candidate, Rogers intends to support the party and remain active during the election.
"I have a number of concerns about John McCain, and I wish he would begin reaching out to conservatives to make me more comfortable about him," said Rogers. "As he is the presumptive nominee, I will grudgingly vote for him in November. I am a loyal Republican and very active in several conservative campaigns."
Kris Broberg, another national delegate and a Paul supporter, has been active in Republican politics for 18 years, serving on the Robbinsdale City Council and as a precinct chair in Minneapolis. He worked on campaigns for conservative Rod Grams. A Republican drawn to the party in the Reagan years, Broberg labels himself "100 percent Republican" but "99 percent sure he can't bring himself to vote for McCain."
"I don't think having John McCain as president advances the cause of the Republican Party — or the United States of America," Broberg said. "But I will be working hard on campaigns of several Republic candidates."
There are about 15 Paul supporters running as Republicans for various state and local positions, Stebbins said. Many Paul supporters, in Republican politics for the long haul, are actively involved in local Republican organizations.
'We all benefit'
While the GOP leadership takes a dim view at best of pesky Paulites crashing the party, in the more free-wheeling blogosphere Republican faithful, even those disagreeing with some of Paul's positions, say Paul and his supporters have sent a wake-up call to GOP leadership.
Blogging at "Shot In the Dark," Mitch Berg called the Paul delegate coup a "teachable moment." Reaction to the "Ronulans" reminded Berg of how irate some long-time GOP activists in the Sixth District were over Bachmann's "tactics" when she garnered the nomination for Congress over state Reps. Jim Knobloch and Phil Krinkie and businessman Jay Esmay. "She got her people to go to caucuses and conventions and to vote for her," Berg wrote with mock sarcasm. "Let's give credit where credit is due; [Paul supporters] did conventions the way you're supposed to ... by organizing, by motivating and having their people show up."
At the Wright Country Republican blog, Drew Emmer summed up what might ultimately be the Paul effect: "The disproportionate reaction is what I would expect more likely from a lunatic democrat ... I don't agree with all Ron Paul's positions. But I do see the incredible contribution his grassroots organizing has made this year. He's a peculiar man ... that inspires conservative activism. That's a good thing. We all benefit."
Said Stebbins: "Paul's campaign may turn out like Goldwater's. Goldwater paved the way for Reagan. Paul may be paving the way for the next Reagan."

I find it extremely disturbing the the GOP leadership would want to exclude anyone from their party these days. With the abysmal primary turnout this season, it's obvious that the current GOP is losing this election before it even gets to the convention.
I, like millions of other Paul supporters, would infuse the party with new blood and enthusiasm, if only they would include us rather than treating us like party crashers.
Perhaps we should all just stay home in November. After McCain gets trounced, and the GOP is left wondering what to do now, they will be more receptive to our ideas, aka, the constitution.
I voted for Ron Paul in 1988 and I was very pleased to get to shake hands with him at a campaign rally in Las Vegas in January.
There were about 1000 enthusiastic supporters in attendance - I was impressed when they cheered his denunciation of fiat money. They're a much better educated group of supporters than the other candidates.
They would not have been bought off by the nonsensical promise of a summer gasoline tax holiday.
I have no idea even what the word "conservative" means any more after watching the Republicans spend money like drunken sailors.
The GOP is so infested with ex-democrats (neo-cons), only it's demise can reverse it back to its original platform. This is obvious from this election season. Juan McWar is the Bob Dole of 08 - lets do something about it when we still have a chance - get behind Ron Paul and the r3VOLution.
my number one issue with this aplikowski guy is he re-enforces people to think down a one way never-ending road.
"My number one issue with the Ron Paul movement is it's anti-war/isolationism."
this is a fundamentally wrong statement made by people who do not have the ability to analyze situations and insist on an original plan that could have possibly be flawed. possibly. this has to end. i wish questioning and discussing issues would re-enter the mainstream and we could get rid of these jingoistic sheep who act like they are in different parties and talk about non issues.
I just completed reviewing the Minnesota GOP Platform 2006. I do hope the State GOP leadership re-reads the party platform prior to our state GOP convention. John McCain fails to comply with a majority of the platform, based on his campaign speeches and voting (what there is of it the last 2 years) record.
Ron Paul on the other hand falls in line with most every point of personal responsibility and individual freedom, including immigration. The sticking point is our endless undeclared war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan along with soon to be Iran and the draft.
Ron Paul supports a CONGRESSIONAL DECLARED war under the United States Constitution not the United Nations. This position is part of Minnesota GOP platform.
The purpose of state elections and conventions is to provide national GOP direction from the perspective of 50 states. NOT THE NATIONAL GOP DICTATING to the states whom they will support.
McCain is not conservative by his own statements and voting record. Minnesota has a party platform to adhere to regardless of National GOP thought or strong-arming.
As a state delegate, I am voting Ron Paul. Principle, conviction, Minnesota party platform, reason, our constitution, and logic all demand I VOTE Ron Paul at Minnesota State Convention.
A story of this length that doesn't at least nod to the decades-long record of race problems among Paul and his top supporters is simply irresponsible. There's no other way to put it.
You're talking about a guy whose primary source of donations was, for years, a list they got from a Holocaust denial publication; a guy who doesn't believe in the Civil Rights Act of 1964; a guy who still has Klan members as field organizers; a guy who for 30 years had a publication writing vile racist screeds under his name.
To not acknowledge any of these facts in 1,600 words is just bad journalism.
ron paul appeared on cnn right after a lot of these rumors started and he did a terrific job defending himself. i recommend finding it. this is such an important video for people who are mislead.
if the link doesn't go through... sY01Lpg5kqw is the ID for the video on youtube.
i have no idea what the "Civil Rights Act of 1964" is, i'm assuming equal rights for african americans. but ron paul would probably argue it isn't necessary because all the right in the constitution apply to the individual not a particular sex, gender, or color. jeff, please don't call people racist while explaining a fraction of their story.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was necessary in granting Blacks the right to vote - a right they already had but was at the time being repressed by the Jim Crow laws of the South. It is probably the greatest legislative victory of the Civil Rights Movement, and is necessary in understanding the Black struggle and American history in general. Please people, look this stuff up - it's pretty damn important.
Jeff is taking a fair stab by addressing the issue. And let me point out that he never called Ron Paul racist, he just acknowledged the racial troubles that have haunted Paul.

Guide: Fueler's Custom Modded Folding Righardnrg -
Top Fan Grill:
Sunday I just couldn't handle another day like I had Saturday, so instead of finishing the fan brackets, I moved on to something else.
The top plate still needed to be finished up.
Although I couldn't readily find any green 80mm fans, I was able to get a 120mm fan (in green) for the exhaust blow hole.
The first thing I needed to do was cut out the wooden plate for the fan.
Nice fit huh?
Next I cut a recess around the hole for the aluminum fan grill.
I made short work of cutting out the grill....here it is assembled.
Here are a couple more pic's just to give you an idea where I am at on this.
For now, the grill is just resting in the recess.....It's hard to see in the pics, but it is actually sitting about 1/32" below where it would be flush with the surface. When I do the final assembly it will sit on double-sided foam tape....this will bring it flush with the top and give it a little noise dampening .

PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization. A PPO is a kind of health insurance or managed care plan.
Networks: Like HMOs, PPOs have a network of doctors and other providers. However, you can choose to see providers who are not in the network. You usually pay a higher cost to see providers who are not in the network.
The providers in the network have an agreement with your PPO that sets a price to provide you a service, like an office visit or surgery. These providers cannot charge you more than the set price. But a provider that is not a part of the network can charge you more.
Check with your PPO plan about its provider network and about costs.
Primary care doctors and medical groups: In most PPOs you are not required to select a main doctor, also known as a primary care doctor or PCP. Some PPOs will ask you to select a doctor or a medical group that will provide most of your care. A medical group is a group of doctors and other providers that contract with a health plan.
Check with your PPO plan about its rules and network of providers.
Referrals and pre-approvals: In most PPOs, you usually can go to a specialist and get certain other services without first seeing a primary care doctor and getting a referral.
You or your doctor may need to get pre-approval from your PPO before certain treatments, procedures, or services are performed.
Check with your PPO plan about its rules regarding referrals and pre-approvals.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
Preschoolers are often curious about where things come from, how things are made and what people did in "the old days." Taking a trip to your local history museum can open up a world of fun for both you and your child as you walk back through time together. Use these Savvy tips to get the most out of your day in history.
Plan ahead
Find out as much as possible about the museum before your visit. Often times, you can print a map on the museum website or show your child pictures of items he will see during the visit. Explain a little about the time period or geographic area. Comparing specifics to modern day elements will help your child grasp the details. If the museum has items from your or your parents' early life, grab some old photo albums and show your child the connection.
Make it fun and interesting
Before you head out, make a list of words or pictures for your child to do a scavenger hunt at the museum. You can draw these pictures or print out real photos. Put them on a piece of paper in list form with boxes for him to check off his finds. If he finds all the items, treat him to a small item form the museum store as a prize. This challenge will hold your child's interest and direct him toward the items or facts most relevant to your personal history.
Take your time, but not too much time
Remember that preschoolers often have short attention spans. Don't be disappointed if your child wants to spend a half hour checking out the antique tractor, but only two minutes looking at the old photos. Follow his lead. Let him show you what is interesting and then go into more detail with him when he finds items that peak his curiosity. If he is forced to listen to you read each diagram or informational card, he may not want to come back.
History museums vary greatly in size and quality, but even the tiniest of history museums offer a quality lesson in history. Check your local Savvy City Guide for a list of the best in your area.
