Clients recently booked Two and a Half Men, Cold Case, Big Love
It is imperative! There is no possible way I could represent actors I didn't care about deeply, from an artistic love of their craft to who they are as people. The stronger the attraction I have to the person, the more I find myself working for that person. The manager-client relationship is very personal and is built on trust and faith. That trust and faith can only be achieved by getting to know one another and finding out we like each other. Over time, the care and attention deepen and solid relationships are formed. It's at that point when true partnership is achieved.
So what makes a likable person? It isn't simply the one who brings me baked goods or compliments my shirt. Actors have to start with themselves first; you have to be happy and healthy in your own life long before you sit in my office. This is about living a healthy lifestyle, enjoying hobbies, establishing solid friendships, having many cultural and community interests. It's about creating a well-rounded, likable person.
I want so much for my clients, but my desire alone can't generate success for an actor. My long hours, endless meetings, multiple pitches, and constant networking are what create opportunities for my clients' success. My job is hard. My job is stressful. My job doesn't end at 6:30 p.m. on a Friday. I work as hard as I do because I love to do what I do for the people I choose to do it for. I get to choose my clients (and vice versa), and that makes my job cool. Of course I'm going to choose people I like. That likability transcends my relationship with the client and aids in getting my clients jobs. I hear often from a CD that my clients are "a pleasure to work with, enjoyable, and easygoing on set." Talent got my client the job; likability will get them rehired.
I am not best friends with all my clients. It would be impossible and, quite frankly, impractical. But I can honestly say I'm proud that my list looks the way it does. In the end, my reputation is reflected in the clients I represent.

Some people love going to work each day. Others loathe it. Usually I love it. I better love it, because I'm usually working, or available, 14 hours a day. Emails never stop.
In most employment situations, a good working environment makes your job so much nicer. A lot of that has to do with your co-workers or your employer. Do they make the day more pleasant and give you a sense of being part of a team? Or do you have a boss who makes you cringe? Since a personal manager works for the client, you as the artist are, in effect, the boss. And a good boss knows that an office runs best when the boss is respected by his charges. Now, in an office environment, not everyone gets along with all their co-workers all the time. You have lots of intraoffice politics and such. But with actors, managers, and agents, there are very few people you have to interact with on a frequent basis. The dynamic is smaller and more within your control. It stands to reason that if you as the boss are difficult, temperamental, unappreciative, or unreliable, you may not get the most out of your working situation. If you have a personal manager, why wouldn't you want that person, whom you hired, to want to do the best for you, to go the extra mile?
I've found myself in situations where I'd prefer to work for someone who's less talented but who works as hard as I do and makes the effort to improve and have a great attitude than someone who has loads of talent and a bad attitude. It seems that many of the artists with the longest careers are genuinely nice people with a good attitude who've also stuck by those who stuck with them when things were tough. Mutual respect leads more readily to success.

Clients recently booked Mamma Mia! on Broadway, Law & Order, As the World Turns
It's very important. As a boutique management company, I must truly love the talent I represent. To develop a close and effective professional working relationship, we must operate as a team. We must like each other; we must believe in each other; we must trust each other. If we like each other, then the work is actually fun. If we like each other, then nurturing and developing my clients as actors and counseling them as professional artists is easier. As colleagues, creative and career growth flourishes in an environment of friendliness and likability.
My agents, casting directors, and producers will perceive the likable, talented actor as more open to taking direction and therefore more bookable. Because work begets work, long-term marketability generally increases with both great talent and warm, positive qualities. The buyers will continue to trust my taste if they also both love the actor's talent and like him or her as a person, someone they can enjoy working with. Being labeled "difficult" by the marketplace can sabotage an actor's career. Therefore, I firmly believe that more often than not, working actors are not only the most talented and directable, but also the most likable.

Hopefully you will never be in an accident, but if you are, remember these general guidelines…..
If possible, stop your car in a safe and visible place. If a car cannot be moved, turn on the hazard lights. Turn off the ignition. Be careful when exiting your car.
Determine if anyone is injured. Do not move an injured person.
Call the police (911 in most places) immediately. Report any injuries.
If another vehicle is involved, get the car's year, make, model and license plate number; the driver's name, address and license number; and the name of his or her insurance company and agent. If the driver does not own the car, get the name of the car's owner. Write down names and addresses of other passengers or witnesses.
Write down the names and badge numbers of police and emergency personnel at the scene. Ask the officer how to obtain a copy of the police report for your insurance claim.
If you suspect that the other driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, ask that a breath test be performed on you and the other driver.
Cooperate with the police, but do not admit guilt for the accident in any way. You may be required to show proof of insurance, but do not reveal how much coverage you have.
Do not accept any money the other driver may offer. By accepting money, you may give up your right to file a claim against the other driver.
Write an account of what happened: time of day, weather, hazards, road conditions and driving speed. Draw a picture of the site, showing stop signs, signal lights, etc. Try to measure skid marks and determine the point of impact. Note any damage already on other cars involved. If a camera is available, take pictures of the accident. Make copies of the pictures.
Report the accident to your insurance agent or company as soon as possible.
*Always remember that, if anybody other than your insurance agent or claims representative contacts you do not discuss the accident with them and do not agree to make a recorded statement.
If you follow these tips, it's easier to resolve your claim, which means your auto insurance company can get you back on the road faster!

The Wanted's Jay McGuiness forgets the first rule of taking a shower -- you have to take your clothes off!
Before you get in a "WHAAAT?!?? THERE'S A PHOTO OF JAY MCGUINESS IN THE SHOWER?!" frenzy and start hyperventilating (like we did), please know that the member of The Wanted actually forgot the cardinal shower rule -- which is to take your clothes off. But we ain't mad that he remained fully clothed -- wet-chic has never looked so dapper. Besides, if we had such unlimited access to stellar fashion, we wouldn't be too quick to take off our couture either.
The Brit recently shared the photo on Facebook, which leads us to think Max and his fellow blokes must be on an official mission to tease the world with their many subtle sexy nuances (HELLO, that's a boy band's job!). First, Tom Parker offered us a peek at perfection that time he posed without a shirt. Then, the band showed off major leg when they went pantsless for We Love Pop's magazine cover. And let's not forget that S&M-like angle that includes a woman getting tied up and gagged by the band in their new "I Found You" music video (or as we like to call it, "50 Shades Of The Wanted"). Hey... you think they'll find some way to act that out onstage during their upcoming tour with Justin Bieber?! Now, excuse us while we go take a VERRRY cold shower ourselves.

G4S to provide Paralympics security
G4S will provide the majority of security for Paralympic venues as the number of troops and police officers on duty is scaled back, organisers have confirmed.
Locog chief executive Paul Deighton said the private firm, which is facing a loss of £50 million over its failure to provide enough staff for the Olympics, will use 4,000 to 5,000 workers.
Mr Deighton said: "We're fully confident. The military contingent this time will be 3,500 soldiers, with 1,000 in reserve and typically G4S will be between four and 5,000.
"In very simple terms, we're switching from an approach which had a slight majority of military during the Games to one which will have a slight majority of private sector security for the Paralympics."
The number of military personnel has been drastically scaled back from the 12,200 troops involved in venue security during the Olympics.
Police numbers will also be halved, with around 7,000 officers on Paralympic duty across the country, compared with 14,500 previously.
G4S was embroiled in a "humiliating shambles" in the run-up to the Olympics, with ministers forced to draw in extra military personnel after the company failed to provide enough guards.

High-Protein, Complex Carb Diet
Eating a diet high in lean protein and complex carbohydrates is a healthy way to reap beneficial amino acids and antioxidants. Complex carbs provide us with a gradual steady stream of energy throughout the day as well as a hefty dose of fiber. Complex carbs are found in whole grain forms such as breads, oats and brown rice, as well as starchy vegetables and fruit; they are loaded with nutrients, slowly digested and combat hunger pangs by making you feel full for longer.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Start your morning with a breakfast cereal made from whole grains. All grains can easily be made into a tasty porridge that will fill you up and give you a protein boost. Simply prepare each grain as you would oatmeal and serve warm with Greek yogurt, slivered almonds and a sliced banana to reap a hefty dose of protein and complex carbs for breakfast.
Step 2
Prepare a protein-rich lunch of hearty chili and serve along with a piece of whole-grain bread topped with fresh chutney. Look for easy protein options such as beans and grilled chicken to toss into your chili or a stir-fry with brown rice. Create burritos with chili leftovers wrapped in a whole-grain tortilla with salsa and vegetables.
Step 3
Skip the white pasta for dinner and try a distinctive, protein-rich grain such as buckwheat or quinoa. Toss tofu with whole grain pasta and finish with tomato sauce and pesto made from Parmesan cheese, olive oil and pine nuts. Whole-grain spaghetti with shrimp, soup with hearty grain breads and whole-wheat vegetable pizzas are other great choices.
Step 4
Create a protein-packed dessert such as a trail mix with dark chocolate, nuts and seeds. Buff up your whole-grain zucchini bread and carrot cake with pureed beans, nut butters, seeds and pureed fruit, which is a sure way add a healthy dose of complex carbs.

Do you ever get the feeling that you're approaching a crossroads? Like whatever you decide next will have a major impact on the shape of your life moving forward? Yeah, that.
I am (once again) off work (mostly) for the summer. Even though I've technically been off since the beginning of the month, because of my trip to see my family and other obligations, I only feel like my time off is starting now. It feels different, somehow, than other summers. I feel like I'm being called to make a choice.
Two cards have been coming up in my tarot readings for other people a lot lately. Not every reading, but often enough to make me notice. I was taught that when a card comes up frequently in readings, that is my lesson. Apparently my lesson is The Chariot and The Tower. Some of you are familiar with the tarot, and have your own meanings for these cards, and some of you are not at all familiar with the meanings. I'll share what they mean to me.
The Chariot: I'm feeling pulled in two different directions. Both of them are things that I want, things that are important to me. However, I'm not able to make much progress with either because they are not going the same direction. It's time for me to take the reigns, and not be led along at the mercy of others, or these conflicting desires. When the question is either/or, the answer is both. When I can get the two working in alignment, I will make progress a lot faster.
The Tower: There's a lesson coming around again that I haven't fully learned yet. Or that the Universe is testing me to see if I have truly learned it. It's been around often enough that I can likely see the patterns, if I'm aware. However, it's also been around often enough that it has the potential to turn my life upside down. Our lessons get tougher if we don't learn them well! The Cosmic 2×4 is headed my way, so it's time to sharpen my senses, open my mind and see this pattern for what it is – an opportunity to grow, or be forced to grow.
Other messages have made themselves known to me recently. Astrologically, Venus is retrograde right now.
When Venus is retrograde, it provides lessons in evaluating the real worth and value of people and things in our life (Taurus-Libra issues)…
It is NOT a time, however, to act upon any unfavorable awareness. It is purely a time of evaluation rather than direct action. As little frictions and disagreements crop up, they serve to remind you that the relationship is not perfect. Under the retrograde influence, you must assess the severity of the problem and the "cost-benefit" of the relationship. Only after Venus turns direct should you initiate any alienation if this is deemed necessary.
And from a book I just read:
Almost every woman I know has waded right out into the river and has been overwhelmed. Almost every woman I know is too busy. She is into this, studying that, driving in a car pool to this and to that, working hard on some big project, racing around until she is ragged. She needs to be quiet, to approach the vastness of life's responsibilities in a more orderly manner, to do one thing, take one crystal goblet at a time, concentrate on it, and do it well. Then she may move on to other things.
So. It is time to evaluate. Be aware, watch for patterns, pare things down.
Hecate, Torchbearer, shine your light brightly that I may accurately assess the options that are before me. Stand before me at the crossroads to guide me on the path that is for my highest good and the highest good of all. Help me to stay focused on the task before me, and let me not be led astray by the shiny distractions that tempt me. Hecate, grant me the key to serve my community in a healthy way. Blessed be.

Sony Computer Entertainment announced back at the Tokyo Game Show that the PSP entry in the Popolocrois series would actually be a remake of the first two PlayStation titles in the series. Today, we're back with further details on what we can expect from the series in its portable debut.
Popolocrois Monogatari adds new elements on top of the remakes. Players can zoom in on the screen in order to find hidden items. Fans of the television series will be pleased to learn that the animated cinema scenes featured in the game are all new, designed to take advantage of the wide screen format.
SCE is also doing some things to bridge the gap between the first and second titles. A new playable story sequence has been created for the game, filling players in on what happened after the events of part 1 and prior to part 2. Both games now feature the same battle system, a variation on the battle system used in part 1.
We should get a chance to see Popolocrois on the portable format at Japanese release some time in February. The game is currently 80% complete.

Web performance has operated under a certain precept for some time: "Faster is Better." We all know the "Three Second…
Yesterday on Twitter, I posted a link to this Internet Retailer article about the results of a recent Keynote mobile index report. The report found that only two out of the 30 sites in the index use responsive design, and both those sites took 17+ seconds to load on mobile devices.
My Twitter post (sorry, I just can't say "tweet") generated some discussion about the challenges of making fast responsive pages, with some folks taking the stance that RWD and performance don't play well together. This isn't a new opinion, and it's sparked a lot of debate in the past. (See this post from Tim Kadlec and this one from Guy Podjarny for excellent examples.)
If you've been following along with this site over the past four years, you may recall this post, which offered an introduction to waterfall charts. Given that the post is now a few years old, I think it merits a refresh.

Turmeric Can Actually Change Your Genes To Fight Cancer [1]Submitted by Professor Ben-Joseph on Thu, 2017-04-20 11:59
Not long ago, researchers at the world-renowned University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center published a groundbreaking scientific review of their favorite anti-cancer nutrient — curcumin. Curcumin, along with several other nutrients, is remarkable in that it can actually tell the difference between a healthy cell and a cancer cell.
According to Wellness Resources, here is how the researchers explained their interest in curcumin:
"' … Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) … is one of the most powerful and promising chemopreventive and anticancer agents … How curcumin exerts its powerful anticancer activities has been thoroughly investigated, and several mechanisms of action have been discovered … curcumin exerts its biological activities through epigenetic modulation.'"
In other words, curcumin changes the regulation of DNA to help kill cancer. In fact, curcumin not only influences epigenetic settings, it also manages the downstream consequences, helping to guide multiple steps in the way gene orders are implemented.
The role of epigenetics in health and disease is becoming ever clearer, and I firmly believe this field of study will eventually supplant the current medical paradigm. The conventional belief has been that genes controlled their own expression and were, therefore, the direct cause of certain diseases. This laid the groundwork for the idea that your genes predetermined your health.
Having "bad genes" does not at all mean you're doomed to suffer some inevitable fate. Genes are merely blueprints, and these blueprints are activated and controlled by something else entirely, namely their environment. This environmental information—which includes diet, toxic exposures, as well as thoughts and emotions, and more—can create more than 30,000 different variations from each blueprint, allowing for an astounding amount of leeway in modifying the expression or "read-out" of each gene!
The Power of Food as Medicine
As a result of these findings, we're now finally seeing science alter its course to investigate the power of optimal nutrition to improve health and prevent chronic disease from occurring in the first place. To anyone who is well-versed in alternative medicine, this is simply common sense. But many are still in denial about the power each individual wields over their own health, and that preventing disease and even treating disease can be as simple as modifying your diet and lifestyle—essentially, altering the environment of your body, to provide the best, most health promoting growth medium possible for all your cells.
Part of the explanation for why food can have such a powerful influence on serious diseases such as cancer is due to its influence on a biological process called angiogenesis– the process your body uses to build blood vessels. Cancerous cells, like all other cells in your body, cannot thrive without the oxygen and nutrients supplied by your capillaries.
Excessive angiogenesis (too many blood vessels) promote diseases such as cancer.
Most of us actually carry around microscopic cancer cell clusters in our bodies all the time. The reason why we all don't develop cancer is because as long as your body has the ability to balance angiogenesis properly, it will prevent blood vessels from forming to feed these microscopic tumors. Trouble will only arise if, and when, the cancer cells manage to get their own blood supply, at which point they can transform from harmless to deadly.
As our ancestors intuitively understood, Nature has laced a large number of foods and herbs with naturally occurring inhibitors of angiogenesis, rendering them natural "anti-cancer medicines." Simply by consuming these anti-angiogenetic foods you can naturally boost your body's defense system and prevent blood vessels from forming and feeding the microscopic tumors that exist in your body at any given time.
I've previously written about a number of different foods found to have particularly powerful epigenetic influence, such as broccoli and resveratrol, but many researchers consider the curcumin in turmeric to have the greatest potential in combating cancer.
Curcumin—One of the Most Powerful Cancer Gene Regulators
It's now becoming more widely accepted that cancer is not pre-programmed into your genes, but rather it's the environment of your body that regulates your genetic expression that can trigger cancer to occur. Adverse epigenetic influences that can damage or mutate DNA and alter genetic expression, allowing cancer to proliferate, include:
Nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances Toxins and pollution Chronic infections Infectious toxic byproducts Chronic stress Chronic inflammation Free radical damage Thoughts and emotional conflicts Curcumin currently has the most evidence-based literature supporting its use against cancer among all nutrients. Interestingly this also includes the metabolite of curcumin and its derivatives, which are also anti-cancerous. Best of all, curcumin appears to be safe in the treatment of all cancers.
Researchers have found that curcumin can affect more than 100 different pathways, once it gets into the cell. More specifically, curcumin has been found to:
- Inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells Decrease inflammation
- Inhibit the transformation of cells from normal to tumor Inhibit the synthesis of a protein thought to be instrumental in tumor formation
- Help your body destroy mutated cancer cells so they cannot spread throughout your body Help prevent the development of additional blood supply necessary for cancer cell growth (angiogenesis)
However, much of curcumin's power seems to lie in its ability to modulate genetic activity and expression—both by destroying cancer cells and by promoting healthy cell function. It also promotes anti-angiogenesis, i.e. it helps prevent the development of additional blood supply necessary for cancer cell growth as discussed above.
For example, a 2005 study in Biochemical Pharmacology found that curcumin can help slow the spread of breast cancer cells to the lungs in mice.
"Curcumin acts against transcription factors, which are like a master switch," said lead researcher, Bharat Aggarwal. "Transcription factors regulate all the genes needed for tumors to form. When we turn them off, we shut down some genes that are involved in the growth and invasion of cancer cells."
Another study in Biochemical Pharmacology also found that curcumin inhibits the activation of NF-kappaB, a regulatory molecule that signals genes to produce a slew of inflammatory molecules (including TNF, COX-2, and IL-6) that promote cancer cell growth.
Other Health Benefits of Curcumin
The growing interest in curcumin over the past 50 years is understandable when you consider the many health benefits researchers have found when studying this herb. According to studies, curcumin may help:
- Reduce cholesterol levels
- Prevent low-density lipoprotein oxidation
- Inhibit platelet aggregation
- Suppress thrombosis and myocardial infarction
- Suppress symptoms associated with type 2 diabetes
- Suppress symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
- Suppress symptoms of multiple sclerosis
- Suppress symptoms of Alzheimer's disease
- Inhibit HIV replication
- Suppress tumor formation
- Enhance wound healing
- Protect against liver damage
- Increase bile secretion
- Protect against cataracts
- Protect against pulmonary toxicity and fibrosis
How to Use Curcumin
To get the full benefits curcumin has to offer, look for a turmeric extract that contains 100 percent certified organic ingredients, with at least 95 percent curcuminoids. The formula should be free of fillers, additives, and excipients (a substance added to the supplement as a processing or stability aid), and the manufacturer should use safe production practices at all stages: planting, cultivation, selective harvesting, and then producing and packaging the final product.
Unfortunately, at the present time, there really are no formulations available for the use against cancer. This is because relatively high doses are required and curcumin is not absorbed that well.
According to Dr. William LaValley, one of the leading medicine cancer physicians I personally know, typical anticancer doses are up to three grams of good bioavailable curcumin extract, three to four times daily. One workaround is to use the curcumin powder and make a microemulsion of it by combining a tablespoon of the powder and mixing it into 1-2 egg yolks and a teaspoon or two of melted coconut oil. Then use a high-speed hand blender to emulsify the powder.
Another strategy that can help increase absorption is to put one tablespoon of the curcumin powder into a quart of boiling water. It must be boiling when you add the powder as it will not work as well if you put it in room temperature water and heat the water and curcumin. After boiling it for ten minutes you will have created a 12 percent solution that you can drink once it has cooled down. It will have a woody taste.
The curcumin will gradually fall out of solution, however. In about six hours it will be a 6 percent solution, so it's best to drink the water within four hours.
Be aware that curcumin is a very potent yellow pigment and can permanently discolor surfaces if you aren't careful.

Cardinals Cheerleader Megan Welter's 911 Call After Alleged Assault 3:14
Around 3am, she woke up and got upset after her boyfriend went through her cell phone. She stated he was a professional fighter trained in wrestling and that he picked her up and threw her out on the patio and locked the door. A moment later he opened the door and called her "trash". At this point, Megan started yelling "rape" and "help" because she claims she did not know what to do. After going back inside, she said her boyfriend pushed her down onto the tile floor causing her to hit her head and then began choking her. She also claims her boyfriend smashed her head into a wall. In the report, the officer asked Megan why she did not call police right away. Megan said she did not feel threatened until he began choking her. She claims he squeezed very tight but that she did not feel he would squeeze to the point where she would die. At this point, she claims she grabbed her phone, ran upstairs and locked the door to call police. Welter did admit in the police report that she hit and punched her boyfriend.

By a margin of over 65 percent, Ralls County school district voters on Tuesday approved the construction of a new elementary school on the Mark Twain campus in Center, bringing students from across the district to one location.
By a margin of over 65 percent, Ralls County school district voters on Tuesday approved the construction of a new elementary school on the Mark Twain campus in Center, bringing students from across the district to one location.
Ralls County voters approved the proposal by a 771-397 margin. A handful of voters in Monroe (3 yes, 4 no) and Pike (1 yes, 3 no) counties voted against the proposal.
Overall the measure was supported by 65.73 percent of voters. The proposal required a four-sevenths (57.14) majority.
"It was very exciting to hear the results," said Superintendent Deanette Jarman. "I'm excited for our students, staff, community and parents."
A proposal to construct a centralized school for students in grades two through five failed in 2007 when approximately 70 percent of voters said "no."
According to Jarman, after exploring the creation of grade level centers, where all students of a certain grade would be housed at the same site, district officials were asked by some parents to go before voters again.
"We appreciate the support of district patrons," said Jarman, who cited the "very hard work" of a bond issue committee.
The $7.5 million bond proposal will not increase taxes.
Proponents of the measure cite safety as being a primary benefit. Once the new school is built, all elementary school students could use the tornado-safe multipurpose building on the Mark Twain campus. Because FEMA regulations require doors be locked soon after a tornado warning is issued, students in New London cannot be bused to the multipurpose building. In New London, the only room that provides protection from a tornado is the boys restroom.
Students will have access to technology upgrades since the current buildings in Center and New London, designed about 60 years ago, are not adequate for modern computers and other devices.
The new school will be much more energy efficient and will have a single buzz-in point for security.
Jarman anticipates that design work on the new building will begin in a few weeks. She added that construction will probably begin in 2015. Anticipated completion is 2016.

Apologies for the delayed reply
Have you managed to try what I suggested in my reply #30?
HDD is listed in boot order but it is not an option in F10? or is it F9? either way, there is only 1 entry there...DVD drive
I suspect what you saw was how the HP BIOS chip has the boot order saved, this unfortunately does not mean that the BIOS is detecting an actual HDD on boot, if an actual HDD was being detected it would be identified as in the Samsung example in the attachment below, other brands such as Seagate would begin with the letters ST and Western Digital would be WD.

sorry for the delay also, it gave me a 3f1 code, hdd not detected. I got ornery and tried a system restore as I have a 1tb external drive with my system on it. all went well with that and the system works great except I still have to boot from disc. I also tried to reflash the bios with the f1.b from hp, no change.
I found donovans blog on the web showing how to disseminate the inside h2o bios, I may try that next as I already tried the f10 + a at startup which did not work.
I thank you for all your help, I really appreciate it.
guess I never thought this hp machine would be such a pain to work on
at least the fan is working again!

No problem, we understand that you have other things to attend to
I suggest caution where the BIOS is concerned as the potential to hose the BIOS chip is rather high, the fact that you got the HDD not detected message and a system restore from an external back up did not resolve the issue suggests one of two things, the HDD itself has issues or the BIOS is messed up, can I ask if the replacement fan was an exact like for like replacement, this in case it is in some way affecting the BIOS by disrupting any MB sensors.
I suggest testing the HDD with any diagnostic tools that the manufacturer may provide, can you tell us the brand of the HDD please.

the fan was an exact replacement, it was a fan/heat sink assembly that is quite elaborate. the HDD is a Toshiba 750GB. I also have a Toshiba 1TB just in case I have problems with the 750GB. inside the laptop is an area to install the second HDD, I would need to purchase another cable to install it to the plug on the motherboard.

The idea is to see if the BIOS detects the HDD as being there, if it does you can install Windows and the notebooks drivers to it and before going to the trouble of installing all of the Windows 7 updates restart the notebook and see if it boots from the HDD.
The Windows 7 installation would be best from an original Windows 7 DVD or a fresh ISO on a USB thumb drive or burned to disk rather than the back up you have on your 1TB external HDD, this in case there is a problem with the Windows 7 back up on the external HDD.
Quick suggestion before you do the above, change the boot sequence so that it boots from a USB device, make sure that the Windows 7 disk is not in the optical drive, shut down the notebook, connect your 1TB external HDD to the notebook, restart the notebook to see if it will boot from the Windows 7 that you have on the external HDD.

With the new HDD in place of the original one, try installing Windows 7 from your recovery disk/s to the new HDD, remove the recovery disk and then restart the notebook to see if it boots up from the drive.
NB: Can I ask if you have ever used the recovery disk/s before, if yes, did Windows load without issue afterwards.

Richard D. Hill, chairman of the First National Boston Corporation, has a "feeling" that should delight millions. He feels that interest rates will come down further soon.
First National Bank of Boston, the corporation's bank subsidiary, joined the rush to reduce its prime rate from 20.5 percent to 20 percent Sept. 15. Mr. hill expects a "slow and gradual downward trend in rates" to bring the prime rate charged the bank's most creditworthy customers to the 15 to 17 percent level by the first quarter of 1982.
One reason for this expectation is a dropoff in loan demand. "Up to a couple of weeks ago, demand was staying extremely high," the chief executive of New England's largest bank noted in an interview. "Indeed, it stayed high all summer when we normally expect it to dip. . . . It almost reached a new high every two weeks."
Hill figures the credit demand was somewhat "artificial," since many companies were avoiding the long-term bond market because of its higher interest rates. Rather, companies were meeting their maney needs in the commercial paper market or through bank loans.
"The minute [companies] get any daylight in interest rates in the long-term area or begin to believe long-term rates aren't going to decline very much, then they will begin to go to the bond market and shift the credit demand from the short-term sector to the long-term sector," he said.
Today's high interest rates have already hit the housing and auto industries hard. Other industries had until now adapted relatively well to the high interest rates, Hill said. "They had been passing them [high interest costs] on to customers."
Companies are now finding more price resistance from their customers, however , along with stiff competition, and profits are starting to suffer.
"We are beginning to see it now in a lot of our middle-market borrowers and smaller business borrowers, who have been getting along pretty well in this whole high-rate era. We are now reaching the point where the strains are pretty great.One has to be concerned about the possibility of higher loan losses in the banking industry generally."
That's not the case for the banks' own profits, though. Hill said banks have been enjoying larger profit margins, offsetting to some extent the slim margins earlier this year. "There is a very proper tendency to hang onto margins," he said. "The direct relationship between our yields and loans and our cost of funds is now getting back to normal."
The Reagan administration, of course, has not been happy with the inclination of what it calls "Wall Street" -- meaning the financial community -- to hang on to high interest rates. But it will undoubtedly be pleased if Hill's "feeling" about interest rates coming down proves accurate.
Mr. Hill commented: "We are coming toward an election year -- 1982. There is a very strong desire of the Republicans to get control of the House and to strengthen their control of the Senate. The interest rate thing now has begun to reach very important political proportions, much more than it had in the past. High interest rates are really beginning to bite."
Thus Hill is expecting the Federal Reserve System to come under "immense pressures" to allow interest rates to slowly decline. The bank chairman sees the Fed as possibly permitting such a trend because the growth of one key measure of the money supply, M-1B, has been running below the target announced by the Fed. Moreover, the rate of inflation has been declining, despite an upward blip in July. And credit demand, both long and short term, is "not exceptionally strong."
"Whether this is the correct thing to do is somewhat beyond the intelligence of man to decide," he says.
In any case, should credit demand increase this fall, as it often does during that season, the Fed has "some room to maneuver," Hill adds. "They will be able to deal with it without forcing interest rates up further, because they have build up this reserve by holding down the [monetary] aggregates."
Hill does approve of the restraint the White House has shown in jockeying for lower interest rates. Usually, he recalls, most administration have been putting pressure on the Fed for lower interest rates much earlier in the business cycle.
Looking at the federal budget, he calls for some further cuts in spending -- including more than the $13 billion trim in defense spending called for by President Reagan.
He says there should be a greater effort by the administration and Congress "to balance a little more the cuts that are being made in the nondefense area with cuts in the defense area. Their targets for achieving goals should be stretched out a little further."
He agrees, however, with the thesis that in the past defense needs have been ignored in favor of "entitlement programs," that is, civilian social programs.
Hill criticizes "Wall Street" for being a "slave to the economists who are picking budget figures out of the air for 1982, 1983, 1984." At this stage, nobody really knows what the deficits will be, he says. Nobody knows whether the economy will be weak or strong, or what the real level of spending will be.
"No one in terms of forecasting the budget for 1982 and subsequent years in paying any attention to the theory that a reduction in both personal and corporate taxes will result in an increase in GNP." Supply-side economists maintain that such cuts will encourage investment, producing more jobs and more tax revenues.
Mr. Hill advocates giving this supply-side theory a chance to work. It is "kind of unfair" of critics to charge so early in the game that deficits will be huge. Besides, he says, such deficits need not create greater inflation unless financed by the creation of new money by the central bank.
This is a common thesis of businessmen, that the Reagan program should be given more time to take effect.

Few tools have revolutionized a craft as much as table saws have changed woodworking. These saws saved tedious hand work and – beyond making single pieces – made it possible to precisely reproduce parts quickly and accurately. This affected how furniture and other woodenware was built and transformed woodworking design.
The table saw first appeared in about 1800, although historians disagree on who invented it. Some credit a German craftsman, Gervinus; others think it was developed simultaneously by several different people in Europe and the United States. The story I find most interesting was told to me by the late Brother Theodore (Ted) Johnson, a Shaker scholar and member of the Sabbathday Lake Shaker community in Maine.

Re: 22 Yr Old Female Mauled to Death by Pitbull
I've got mixed feelings on this one. I absolutely hate pit bulls and have always said and even debated on here at length that they have no use except to kill. They are unpredictable even in the best of cases. But in the case of one obviously trained as a guard dog, there is ONLY way it could have ended for anyone who jumped the fence.
Killing is quiet literally what they were bred for. However, the dumb bitch jumping over the fence isn't to be ignored either. She was probably one of those stupid ass PETA bitch types that thought if she tried to show it enough love, it would love her back. Well, that worked out huh?
Truly that's the only thing that makes sense as to why she would jump the fence while they were obviously barking at her. She wanted to show them she meant no harm, etc. Lol.
I can probably lay this one out with at least 90% accuracy going by what they claim. She was taking a walk after arguing with her boyfriend? Yep, crying, boo hooing and emotional. She seen the dogs barking at her. So she decided to show them she was a good person, etc. If the boyfriend couldn't see what a great person she is, surely animals can sense it huh? Lol.
Much like a female when they get in an argument with someone, they want to grab up a baby, child or animal, stuffed animal, or whatever is closest to try to get love from it.
It tore out her throat? Yep, that would be because no doubt as soon as she jumped the fence, she bent down to be on the dogs level to try to hug, kiss or cuddle it. Bam, that's the last thing she ever did! Maybe she didn't deserve to die, but at the same time I am a believer that there is no greater gift from the Gods than someone stupid eliminating themselves from existence.
Pitbulls have it bred into them to go for the throat if at all possible. Which is why they try to bring people down to the ground in order to do it. If you watch a pitbull fight between two of them, you will see, they almost always go for the throat. I would post such a video on here to illustate, but it would get me banned from this site. I can show a pitbull killing a human though and that is acceptable. Just not a pitbull killing a pitbull, lol. I love this site, but the whole animal hypocrisy thing is something I wish would go the way of the dodo, lol. Just for the record, this site would be A.O.K., PETA approved! Lol!
I had to tell a dumbass ex girlriend of mine to not try kissing up to a dangerous dog one time. Women can get pretty fucking stupid when it comes to animals. Just look at that peta loving cunt pamela anderson!
PS, that'll teach ya to watch dog whisperer until you actually believe that shit!

Re: 22 Yr Old Female Mauled to Death by Pitbull
True story: a certain woman (I don't know her name, we'll call her "Jane,") liked to take a walk through the Rotterdam zoo everyday. Her favorite animal was a huge, 400lb silverback gorilla named Bokito.
Anyway, Jane would stop at the enclosure, tap on the glass, stare into Bokito's eyes, and smile at him. Soon, Bokito would get "excited" when she came by. Jane stated that when she smiled at him, "he always smiled back," and claimed that "we shared a special connection."
One day, Jane took her walk, tapped on the glass, stared into Bokito's eyes, and cracked her smile, only to see Bokito JUMP over his moat, and the 9ft wall that normally separated them! According to witnesses, Bokito never even looked at the other patrons, instead focusing his rampaging-attention solely on the fleeing Jane. Went he got her, Bokito mauled her, broke her arm, and savagely bit her over 100 times. She was lucky to survive.
Perhaps if "Jane" had spent some time reading about silverback gorillas, she might have realized that males challenge each other by looking their opponent in the eye, and then bearing their teeth (i.e. "staring" and "smiling" at each other.) Bokito was never excited to see her, he was pissed!
The whole story becomes utterly incredible when you learn that zoo staff HAD TOLD HER THIS, and asked her to stop!!! Instead, she relied on her "feelings" and connection of "spiritual auras" with animals to guide her actions. Just another moon-bat, PETA clod.
And the real tragedy??? ..... That the zookeepers stopped Bokito's attack, denying DR pictures, and "Moon-Bat Jane" a Darwin Award.

if the owner is charged that's fucking stupid js
i mean sure pitbulls are vicious yadda yadda but they weren't exactly roaming around free and if you look at the video the fence is pretty high and it's no like it jumped outside to attack her. She jumped inside THEIR enviornment no matter what. Putting down BOTH dogs seems excessive too since apparently the second dog wasn't eating her and was actually guarding the yard too. js

Re: 22 Yr Old Female Mauled to Death by Pitbull
PORT HURON (WWJ/AP) – Three dogs in Port Huron have been euthanized after they killed a woman who climbed a fence into their backyard.
Rebecca Hardy was fatally mauled last week by a pit bull and a pit bull-husky mix. Police Capt. Jeff Baker said Monday that two dogs and a puppy were put down.
Baker said it's still unclear why the 22-year-old victim entered the fenced yard, in the 1700-block of 10th Street.
Police say there were no prior complaints about the dogs and they've been working to figure out what Hardy was doing there. Her fiancée lives on the same street, about a block away.
Baker told the Port Huron Times Herald it "makes no sense."
Police said Hard suffered extensive injuries to the upper part of her body — mostly her head, face and neck. She was airlifted to a trauma center at Beaumont Hospital where she died a short time later.
Hardy's death came about a day after a 4-year-old boy was mauled to death by pit bulls in Detroit.

Devon Council
XenZone is an integral part of the Early Help for Mental Health (EH4MH) service in Devon, delivering early intervention online support through Kooth, the mental health and emotional well-being platform for children and young people. Watch the video below to find out more
Meeting high demand for young people's mental health services
Responding to young people's emerging mental health issues, in 2014 Public Health Devon (in consultation with schools) set out to commission a new emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing service for children and young people in Devon.
The aim of EH4MH is to build resilience in children and young people by tackling mental health problems before they become more serious. Through EH4MH, this is done in two ways:
- – By giving young people access to self-help tools, good information, online counselling and appropriate levels of support.
- – By supporting school staff to develop their knowledge of mental health conditions affecting young people and strategies supporting children with early signs of mental and emotional stress.
After recognising the success that its sister region Cornwall had since implementing Kooth, Devon was keen to replicate the model and commissioned Kooth to provide the online counselling element of the EH4MH service.
A vital collaboration for access and availability
Kooth is one of three partners in Devon's EH4MH service, working collaboratively with Virgin Care and Young Devon.
EH4MH aims to change the culture around mental health in schools and provide support to young people at the earliest possible opportunity. EH4MH is an early-intervention service with a long term goal of reducing the need for more specialist services.
Kooth is providing young people in Devon aged 11 to 18 years access to online counselling, moderated peer-to-peer advice and self-help tools through the online platform. Young people can access the platform 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and interactive counselling is available till 10pm every night. The entry way for many children in the area, Kooth can then signpost on to further support, such as the face-to-face service provided by Young Devon.
The collaboration sees practitioners educating school staff on basic mental health concerns so they can manage low level issues. With Tier 1 issues such as anxiety, stress and friendships the most presented issues by children and young people in Devon, the goal over the longer term is to improve access to services and reduce waiting times by taking a stepped approach to support. Aiming to reduce stigma surrounding mental health issues, school staff can also access clinical based supervision.
Measurable outcomes
Nine months into delivering the service, results are strong with a collaborative partnership promoting the service in the community, generating awareness of Kooth to young people.
- – An average of 300 active users in one month alone, with this number growing by an average of 88 new users a month
- – 90% of log ins are returning visitors
- – 97% of young people say they're planning to come back soon to use the service again
- – 97% would recommend the service to a friend
- – 68% of log ins are out of office hours
"The GP said he had never seen anyone turn things around so quickly. He was really pleased with how (our son) had improved and wanted me to send his thanks to you." Mother of Kooth user
Reporting shows that young people are achieving their goals through Kooth. Goals are logged on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best. The average upward movement per young person over the quarter is five positive places towards achieving their goal.
"It is a pleasure working with the XenZone team to improve the mental health and wellbeing of the young people in Devon. XenZone are a group of professional and passionate people who consistently seek out innovative ways to ensure young people can access the kinds of resources and support that will help them lead happy and healthy lives. The organisation's commitment to partnership working has enabled Devon County Council's Public Health team to successfully bring together the right combination of partners to better meet the needs of young people in Devon.'' Becky Carmichael, Public Health Specialist (Children, Young People and Families), Public Health Directorate.
The future? Exemplifying a joined up service
As part of EH4MH in Devon, the partnership has created a unique threshold document, which outlines which service is the right support for which young person. This clarity in a multi-disciplinary, joined up service is essential to co-ordinate and monitor the work being carried out. XenZone will be using the learning from this document to encourage similar initiatives across other regions.

No recess for grassroots advocacy on health care reform
by Government Relations Staff
August 27, 2009 — Congress adjourned for recess on August 7 without giving the President a health care bill to sign. Concerns about the reform bill's one trillion dollar-plus price tag and the issue of the "public plan" — a primary mechanism for covering the uninsured-slowed down the legislative process surrounding Medicare and health care reform.
We now anticipate that a health reform bill will not go to the Senate and House floors until sometime well into the fall. We are looking forward to the fall debate -to protecting our successes while working to make the reform bill as strong as possible for psychology. And we need your help!
August Hill wrap-up
Earlier this summer, the three key House committees of jurisdiction — the Education and Labor, Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means Committees — included psychology's top priority, a two-year extension of the 5 percent psychology payment restoration, in their joint draft of health care reform legislation.
Each committee has now passed its version of the America's Affordable Health Choices Act (H.R. 3200), and each has included the restoration extension.
The bills would also prevent the 21 percent Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) cut from taking effect in 2010 and provide an estimated 1 percent update in provider payments in 2010. Next the House Rules Committee is expected to merge the three bills into one final version for consideration on the House floor in September.
On the Senate side, the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee passed its Affordable Health Choices Act on July 15. The bill did not contain any Medicare provisions due to the committee's jurisdiction, but it is very favorable for psychology, including broad provisions for care integration fully incorporating mental and behavioral health providers. It also requires coverage of mental health and substance use benefits in health plans available through a national insurance exchange.
Grassroots action
During the August recess, psychologists answered our call for grassroots action. Between August 4 and August 25, more than 4500 members utilized the Legislative Action Center to tell their Senators and Representative that Congress should pass comprehensive health care reform legislation that includes the 5 percent psychology payment restoration extension and fully integrates psychologists and psychological services into the delivery system.
"Members are the key to ensuring that professional psychology's voice is heard in the ongoing health care reform debate and to help promote and protect our interests as legislation moves toward passage," says Executive Director for Professional Practice Katherine C. Nordal, PhD.
Your action is critically needed today. Click here by September 4 to urge your Senators and Representative to include psychology's priorities in Medicare legislation
Grassroots feedback is extremely important to our advocacy efforts, so we would very much appreciate it if you would e-mail or fax (202-336-5797) us any substantive responses (other than auto-responses) you have received from your Senators or Representative.
Nancy Molitor, PhD, a practitioner in private practice in Wilmette, IL, takes the call to action seriously. A volunteer in the office of her county officials and her congresswoman, Molitor believes that elected officials "get to know our issues by getting to know us individually."
"The ongoing health care reform debate offers us a unique opportunity to advocate for the inclusion of psychologists and psychological services in a reformed health care delivery system," says Dr. Nordal and Molitor is excited to be close to the action. "This is an historic moment for psychologists to be seen as health care providers," Molitor says.
Molitor also participated in a health care conference call with President Obama on August 20 in which the president discussed his thoughts and objectives on the reform effort.
On March 4, psychology leaders from throughout the country took messages about our legislative priorities to over 335 meetings on Capitol Hill during the American Psychological Association Practice Organization State Leadership Conference. Our government relations team has prepared these fact sheets on psychology's priorities:
"Fully Integrate Mental Health Services in Health Care Reform"
"Congress Should Ensure That Psychologists' Services Are Key in Primary Care Initiatives"
On the passing of Senator Edward Kennedy
The APA Practice Organization mourns the death of Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts. His passing is a great loss for the nation, psychologists and their patients. His great compassion and pragmatism made him a tireless champion throughout his career for the underrepresented, including persons with mental disorders. For us, he was a leader in the U.S. Senate on issues ranging from fighting for insurance reform to our recent victory on mental health parity. We express our deepest sympathy to the Kennedy family.

Byliner is an attractively designed website – one of the essential qualities for cosy reading I guess – run by Ted Barnett and former Outside editors Mark Bryant and John Tayman. The site's purpose is to help you easily find your next read and also to make sure it is a good one. Byliner aggregates some of the best stories from around the world and also publishes originals. Byliner covers fiction, non-fiction, short stories, and exclusives across a variety of categories. The stories can be consumed in two hours or less. It's a mix of free and premium offerings.

Aeon Magazine
Aeon is a digital magazine that publishes an original essay every weekday. Aeon also has a section with spoken essays. The essays are meant to rouse our interest and perspective on the world around us. The essays leave room for collaborative discussion and opinion. You can also pitch ideas to the team. Right now I am reading Are coders worth it?, an interesting read if you are caught between the age-old dilemma of work and its true value. An article that draws 169 comments is always worth bit of your time.
Think of Longform.org as an aggregation and recommendation service for new and classic non-fiction from around the web. Keeping to its name, the site says that it considers pieces over 2,000 words that are freely available online. You can send in your suggestions and if it has merits, the site will include the link.

Narratively was named by TIME as one of the best websites of 2013. The site is a joy to read on. Narratively started by featuring stories from New York, but now it has stories from other cities in America as well. Narratively has an interesting take – they focus on a city's untold stories around a topical theme for the day. A single story is published every day but it could be a longform article, a photo essay, an audio piece, or even a documentary. Narratively calls it "slow storytelling" or "slow journalism." Narratively Shorts is a separate area which focusses on briefer content. Contributions from readers, short stories and essays make up the content here.
The Global Mail
The Global Mail is a not-for-profit news website (it is free of advertising). The Australian philanthropically funded website stands for original, fearless, independent journalism. It is another of those websites which have veered towards "slowing" down the news cycle, and instead focusing on quality rather than quantity. The news site's blog is Australia centric but interspersed in between are a few topical global themes like American elections. Don't forget to take a peek into the multimedia section especially the photo slideshows.
The Browser
The Browser is a small and relatively obscure website that's also doing its bit to promote good reading on the web. The site recommends 5-6 selective pieces for consumption daily which it feels are worth our while. The articles that get recommended are mostly free. They may or may not be longform articles though. The About page on the site says about the selections – These pieces are chosen by the editor, mostly from trawling RSS feeds and home pages and Twitter streams; but we do also welcome suggestions, especially when they alert us to new and niche publications.
Few more longform reading websites for your consideration:
Good reading certainly does not end here. These six websites (plus four) are mere morsels. There are sure to be many more on the web where reading tastes are as divergent as the culture of the web itself. Which are the sites you would recommend? Tell us about the undiscovered diamonds in the rough.

I absolutely adore The Electric Typewriter: http://tetw.org/. Very good essays and articles by great journalists, easily accessible.
I have been reading articles and books on my devices since the early Palm days. I still have a nice collections of materials in iSilo format that I read. iSiloX makes it easy to convert most sites though not so automatic as instapaper but then again no one has made a extension to use iSiloXC to make the conversions automatic. I suspect that would make it way more popular. Sounds like a potential project if I ever find time.
Thanks, I don't mind long articles. Will definitely check them out.
Hi, MakeUseOf.
I just wanted to say how much I have been reading thanks to the web. And it's mainly because of this two guys: RSS and Pocket. I check my RSS feeds on daily basis. Every day my feed fiils up with more than 70 entries, some from your MakeUseOf blog and from other pages in Spanish. Even though I discard several articles I'm not interested in, it's sometimes impossible to read them all! Actually, I'm happy because yesterday I emptied my Unread Articles section, which took me an entire day.
In addition to this, I receive weekly a few newssettlers, and there's also my Pocket, with keeps growing like crazy.
Internet has given us the opportunity to read about anything, anywhere and anytime. And there is an overwhelming wave of stuff to read!
Since I'm a dinosaur, I prefer my reading to be of the dead tree variety. While that does not make me popular with the tree huggers, they're not exactly my favorite people, either. Electronic reading is a pain for me, literally and figuratively. Even though I have used a monitor for over 30 years, I still have not found settings that make reading on a screen comfortable. Besides, it is not easy to start my wood burner using a monitor. They just don't burn too well.
My favorite is Longreads
I subscribe to their RSS feed and I get regular suggestions - and they're good ones

Just out of their teens, it seems Copenhagen's Iceage have only added to the anxiety and tension that made their debut album, New Brigade, so compelling. But now, they're challenging their raging emotions instead of simply expressing them. Titled You're Nothing, Iceage's sophomore album pushes the band's singular sound to further extremes resulting in twelve examples of the myriad ways Iceage have written, and re-written the short aggressive rock sound. We're excited for you to hear it.
The album was recorded and produced by Iceage in Copenhagen and Mohn, Denmark. Artwork is above and tracklisting below.
Iceage is Jakob Tvilling Pless (bass), Dan Kjær Nielsen (drums), Elias Bender Rønnenfelt(vocals/guitar), and Johan Suurballe Wieth (guitar). They will release You're Nothing on Matador Records on February 19th. Escho will release the record in Denmark.
Iceage will play 285 Kent Ave. on Friday, January 25th. Further details surrounding this trip to New York will be announced in the coming weeks.

Praise for New Brigade:
"New Brigade is a refreshing and extraordinary debut. These four have located a punk-rock sweet spot: mixing the black atmosphere of goth, the wild-limbed whoosh of hardcore, and the clangor of post-punk. It's a feat made all the more impressive by one very important intangible: energy. . . the energy in every atom of New Brigade's charred, sub-25-minute rush is seductive."
– Pitchfork [Best New Music]
"Sonically dense and manically focused, but with an intriguing looseness about its churn, the album bathes a pileup of punk sub-styles in the flickering shadow of goth."
– The New York Times
"The first few seconds of the very young Copenhagen post-punk band Iceage's first single, 'White Rune,' are some of the most exciting in rock music this year . . . It stays twitchy and menacing for a few bars, then the drums really kick in and the song writhes to life, revealing one of the most ferocious new rock bands to emerge in years."
– Los Angeles Times

4930 University Drive Huntsville AL 35816
Weather is far from perfect in Hunstville, Alabama but we're getting there...at least we keep telling ourselves that! It won't be long before it's the season for taking the "fun cars" out for an evening drive with friends and family. If you're looking for a summertime vehicle then stop by our dealership to test drive the 2014 Chevy Camaro.
This vehicle is known for its power. The Coupe model provides 323 horsepower, but for people who just need a little more punch the Camaro ZL1 brings 580 horses out to play. Whatever stable size you go with you'll have a good time in this car. Don't believe us? Watch this video to see what this model can tackle.
This was one of the most entertaining car pranks we've seen at Landers McLarty Chevrolet and we hope the salesman was able to laugh off his scary, once in a lifetime situation.
The Camaro is almost 40 years old. It was in production from 1966-2002 when it took an early retirement. Like many who stop working the Camaro got a little stir crazy and came back in 2010 with a completely new look, but the same level of power. It comes in 5 different trims and two of them are convertibles, which will really get your hair (or hat) billowing.
For more information on this iconic car you can stop at our dealership. We can show you the features and take you out on a test drive as long as you promise not to pull a stunt like that. Unless you're Jeff Gordon, in which case please go full throttle.

The 80-year-old pontiff will place a biretta, a square red capdenoting the rank of cardinal, on the head of each man Wednesday during a four-hour Consistory and Mass in St. Peter's Square. OnThursday, the church Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, the pope willconcelebrate Mass with the new cardinals in St. Peter's Basilica andgive each a cardinal's ring.
The ceremonies are important to the future of the Roman CatholicChurch because it is members of the College of Cardinals who elect thepope, and Canon (church) Law requires the cardinals to chose the popefrom their own numbers.
The Consistory is the eighth formal meeting of cardinals that JohnPaul has called to create new princes of the church during the 22 yearsof his pontificate. It will raise membership in the College of Cardinalsto 184.
Of the 135 cardinals under the age of 80 and thus eligible to votein the Conclave that will elect the next pope, 125 were chosen by JohnPaul, 10 by Pope Paul VI.
But this does not mean that the next leader of the world's 1 billionCatholics automatically will be a priest in the image of the doctrinallyconservative, Polish-born prelate, who was himself a surprise choice.
Vatican observers believe an overriding concern of the cardinals whoserve as residential bishops of sees throughout the world and are amajority in the College of Cardinals is to curtail the growing power ofthe Roman Curia, the church's central administrative body, over diocesanaffairs.
Because John Paul's papacy is among the longest in church history,it also is possible that the cardinals will want the next pope to be anolder prelate to ensure a shorter reign. They recall that following the20-year papacy of Pius XII, the cardinals elected John XXIII, who was 77at the time and reigned for little more than five years.
John Paul, elected at the age of 58, was the youngest andlongest-serving pope chosen in the 20th century. At the age of 80, hesuffers the debilitating effects of a neurological disease but hasmaintained a demanding schedule.
The pope had been expected to announce a Consistory shortly afterthe Jubilee Holy Year 2000 ended on Jan. 6, but both the way he made theannouncement and the large number of new cardinals came as a surprise. Speaking from his study balcony overlooking St. Peter's Squareduring the Sunday Angelus prayer on Jan. 21, John Paul disclosed thenames of 37 new cardinals. Then, in what is believed to be a moveunprecedented in church history, he added seven more names the nextSunday, Jan. 28.
The pope far exceeded Paul VI's limit of 120 cardinals of voting ageby nominating 40 new cardinals under the age of 80. The total of 44 newcardinals is believed to be a record.
Of the new cardinals, 23 came from Europe, three from North America,11 from Latin America, two from Africa, three from Asia and two from theMiddle East. They include seven Italians, the largest national group,and five from the former Soviet bloc countries of Ukraine, Latvia,Lithuania and Poland.
The pope had chosen two of the Eastern Europeans -- Ukrainian LatinRite Archbishop Marian Jaworski, 74, of Lviv and Latvian ArchbishopJanis Pujats of Riga, 70 -- for his last Consistory in 1998 but kepttheir names "in pectore" (in the heart) without disclosing them for fearof endangering their ministries. They will enter the College ofCardinals with the seniority of 1998 members.
The new U.S. cardinals are Archbishops Edward M. Egan, 68, of NewYork and Theodore E. McCarrick, 70, of Washington and the Rev. AveryDulles, 82, an eminent Jesuit theologian, who held the McGinley Chair atFordham University in New York.
Both Egan and McCarrick were only recently appointed to their sees. Egan, installed June 19, had served previously as a judge of theSacred Roman Rota and bishop of Bridgeport, Conn., and McCarrick,installed Jan. 4, was bishop of Newark, N.J.
Dulles is the son of John Foster Dulles, secretary of state in theEisenhower administration and nephew of Allen Dulles, who was head ofthe Central Intelligence Agency. Born into a Presbyterian family, AveryDulles became a Roman Catholic while attending Harvard College in theearly 1940s.
Archbishop Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, of Westminster in London, anothernew appointee who will become a cardinal, will introduce an ecumenicalelement into the Consistory. He will bring to the ceremony as his gueststwo ranking Anglicans, Canon Richard Marsh, ecumenical secretary toArchbishop of Canterbury George Carey, and Bishop Mark Santer ofBirmingham.
Murphy-O'Connor and Santer served together until recently asco-chairman of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission fordialogue between the two churches.
Other new cardinals include the archbishops of Abidjan, Ivory Coast;Durban, South Africa; Bombay and Ernakulam-Angamaly of theSyro-Malabars, India; Quito, Ecuador; Sao Paulo and Sao Salvador daBahia, Brazil; Bogota, Colombia; Santiago, Chile; Tegucigalpa, Honduras;Caracas, Venezuela; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Santa Cruz de la Sierra,Bolivia; Dublin, Ireland; Vilnius, Lithuania; Lyon, France; Toledo,Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; Turin, Italy; Lviv, Ukraine; and Paderborn andMainz, Germany.
