I really wish Demetrius M. Pepper was either less devoted to his brother, or better at stealing cars. Pepper shot and killed a 60-year-old woman, and shot a store clerk, in the process of stealing their cars so he could get to South Carolina's spring game and watch his brother Nathan, a junior Gamecock defensive end, play football.
He shot the clerk first (Ralph Macchio and Mitchell Whitfield were blamed for the crime, until Joe Pesci got them off the hook), and took the guy's car. Being a convenience store clerk, however, the guy didn't have such a nice car, and it broke down. So Pepper then broke into the home of a 60-year-old woman, shot and killed her, and took her car... which, by the way, was just sitting in the yard with the keys in it.
Ugh. I was kind of hoping this was a sick April Fool's Joke, but if it is, every news media outlet in the world is in on it. Unfortunately, there is someone in the world that twisted, he did do this to innocent people, and he does deserve to spend some time being prison-raped by Rae Carruth. Hopefully, someone in the joint will teach him how to steal a car... if you need to kill someone to do it, then you suck at stealing cars. Hotwiring has become such a lost art.
Condolences to all involved. I can't imagine what the guy's brother is thinking right now.

whether treatment for a specific problem is working.
chemistry screens look at more substances in the blood than others do. The most
complete form of a chemistry screen (called a chem-20, SMA-20, or SMAC-20)
looks at 20 different things in the blood. Other types of chemistry screens
(such as an SMA-6, SMA-7, or SMA-12) look at fewer. The type of chemistry
screen you have done depends on what information your doctor is looking

Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour
Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour is a Muslim lawyer and a black nationalist who made news in 2008 when it was revealed that he had been a patron of Barack Obama and had recommended the latter for admission to Harvard Law School in 1988.
Before becoming a Muslim, al-Mansour in the 1960s was named Don Warden. He was deeply involved in San Francisco Bay Area racial politics as founder of a group called the African American Association. A close personal adviser to Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, al-Mansour helped the pair establish the Black Panther Party but later broke with them when they entered coalitions with white radical groups.
In the mid-1970s al-Mansour met Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Tatal, who today is best known for having offered a $10 million donation toward 9/11 relief efforts in 2001 — an offer that was rejected by New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani when the prince suggested that the terrorist attacks were an indication that America "should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stand toward the Palestinian cause." Al-Mansour's relationship with the prince eventually led to al-Mansour's hiring as attorney to King Saud. He has since been an adviser to Saudi billionaires who fund the spread of Wahhabi extremism in America.
Al-Mansour is an outspoken hater of the United States, Israel, and white people generally. In recent years he has accused the U.S. of plotting a "genocide" designed "to remove 15 million black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society." He has told fellow blacks that "whatever you do to [white people], they deserve it, God wants you to do it and that's when you cut out the nose, cut out the ears, take flesh out of their body, don't worry because God wants you to do it." Alleging further that Palestinians in Israel "are being brutalized like savages," he accuses the Jews of "stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America."

What smells bad and is black and white in color? If you guessed a skunk than you are right. Skunks are pretty cool animals even though they unleash such a powerful smell. It is said that a skunk has a spray radius of up to ten feet. That means if you are ten feet away from a skunk you are getting sprayed and they know it. The skunk is also a very pretty animal for being known as a stinker of a animal. The coloring and markings of the skunk can often look quite appealing. One of my favorite cartoon skunks is Pepe Le pew. That rascal was always after that one cat that looked like a skunk because she either went under a wet white painted fence or sat on a wet painted bench. Learning "how to draw a cartoon skunk" is something that you will all enjoy. I will show you how easy it can be to draw one of the smelliest creatures on the planet. The drawing itself took me a good hour and then I had to factor in another forty five minutes for the coloring process, and then another twenty minutes to make a tutorial lesson out of my drawing. I hope you guys will have fun with this submission as I did drawing it. I shall return again so stay tuned in for more drawing fun. Peace out peeps!

Installing Clear Side Indicators Procedure:
- Buy / Borrow a set of Clear indicators (both sides) - Below I have used ones from a VX Holden.
- Make sure you also buy the Bulb holder, Orange Bulb & a wire harness to go with it (All up incl lense = $45 from Holden [new] )
- Insert a screw driver, under your existing (orange) indicator on your gaurd. Be careful not to scratch the paint. Lever off the (orange) indicator so it comes off the gaurd. You will then see that it just pops out.
- Undo the existing Bulb Holder and cut off, leaving as much electrical wire still attached to the car-side as possible. (where wire meets holder)
- Strip back a little bit on the ends of the wires (including the Holden Harness) Join the holden harness to the NX harness(attached to car). It doesnt matter about which one is + or -.
- (Using a Soldering iron is prefer for this step)(You may skip this step if you dont want to use a soldering iron) Coat the joined wires with solder to allow them to be secured.
- Use Electrical tape / Insulation tape on the joined (soldered) wires to allow protection.
- Place (orange) Bulb in (holden)bulb-holder and connect to clear lense
- Press your Hazzard switch (or use the indicator) to test that its working correctly.
- Using a Silicone gun/compound, squirt a desired amount of silicone to the rear of the Clear lense and place it over where the original (orange) lense was - Doing this properly, you will be able to cover up the hole in the gaurd where the original lense was.
- Hold new indicator in place for a few minutes so that it is secured enough to be held by the silicone. (note: Silicone will take about 1 hour to fully dry, Depending on manufacturer)
- Repeat for 2nd side of the car. (I advise not to drive the car until 30-45mins after fully finished)
These steps have been provided as a guide to changing the lense
I myself, nor the Nissan Exa/NX Club will not be held accountable for any damage.

Harford County deputies report nearly 500 car break-ins
Authorities stress importance of vehicle owner diligence
Harford County sheriff's deputies are investigating a large number of car break-ins and thefts from autos. Authorities said they believe the trend can be stopped, or at least slowed, with greater diligence by vehicle owners.
Officials said as of Sept. 9, deputies have responded to 492 incidents reported to the Sheriff's Office in 2013. In July, they responded to over 100 incidents.
Deputies said, while thieves do search out and target specific vehicles and communities, more often than not thefts from vehicles are typically crimes of opportunity.
Vehicle owners often leave their cars unlocked with personal items clearly visible inside the passenger compartment. Sometimes aggressive thieves will smash windows but with that comes the risk that the noise will alert someone, deputies said. So they search out unlocked vehicles.
Deputies said they see the highest number of these incidents in more densely populated areas like Bel Air, Edgewood, Aberdeen and Fallston with a combined total of 434 incidents. The remaining areas of the county only recorded 58 incidents.
Thieves will take purses or wallets, and very quickly fraudulently misuse credit cards, hours before the victim knows they have been stolen, deputies said. Thieves also take phones, iPads, laptops, GPS units and other electronics from unlocked vehicles, deputies said.
Deputies urge people to keep their vehicles locked and to keep valuables out of sight. Cars should always be locked even during times when the owners are home. Deputies assigned to the Community Policing Unit said most thefts from vehicles happened while cars are parked at homes and when asked, most vehicle owners tell police they didn't think it would happen to them.
Police also note that owners will often leave their car unlocked when stopping for a quick errand or at a convenience store. It takes very little time for a suspect to reach into an unlocked car, steal an item, and be gone before the owner realizes the theft has occurred, deputies said.
Deputies recommend when shopping to park in well-lit areas, and remove all valuables from the car before leaving home or secure them in the trunk of the vehicle.
Deputies also strongly remind owners it is illegal to leave their vehicle unattended with the engine running. Police want vehicle owners to be safe and to help reduce the likelihood of them becoming victim of a crime. They said awareness and diligence goes a long way towards reducing that risk.

Maine House approves concealed weapons confidentiality
Bill requires further votes
The Maine House has overwhelmingly approved a bill that allows personal information on concealed weapons permits to be kept confidential.
Representatives voted 106-40 Tuesday in favor of the bill, following the recommendation of the Judiciary Committee's majority.
Click here to take part in our web poll.
The bill, which faces further votes, also calls for release of statistical information about concealed weapons permits.
The House rejected an amendment that would have kept permit records open except for certain protected groups, such as police officers, judges, prosecutors and those protected by court orders.
The issue comes up a week before a moratorium on the release of any concealed weapons permit information is due to expire.
The moratorium was put in place after the Bangor Daily News requested all concealed weapons permit information through the state's Freedom of Access law.

Jacob Bera, an art teacher at Eagle River High School outside Anchorage, Alaska, read an article a few months ago by the parents of Daniel Barden, noting how their son's slaying at Sandy Hook Elementary School robbed the speedy 7-year-old of a lifetime's worth of opportunities, including, perhaps, a chance to run the Boston Marathon.
So Bera laced up Monday and ran it for him.
"Learning about Daniel reminded me of the power of simple acts of kindness, and that's something I model for my students each and every day," Bera wrote in a letter posted on a tribute Facebook page set up by the Bardens, http://www.facebook.com/WhatWouldDanielDo. "I've kept Daniel's spirit in my own heart, and when I run my first Boston Marathon tomorrow I'll share that experience in honor of his memory."
Bera's letter has been shared 2,000 times on Facebook and has generated 500 comments — many concerned for Bera's welfare after twin explosions rocked the venerable road race, injuring more than 100 and killing at least three.
Bera is safe; he completed the race in 3 hours, 8 minutes and 10 seconds, crossing the finish line around 1:15 p.m. — about 90 minutes before the blasts.
"I usually like to hang around and watch the other competitors finish," Bera, 35, wrote in an email to The Courant, "but since I was in Boston alone and I wasn't feeling 100% at the end I figured it was best to head to the hotel and get some rest."
So after recovering for 30 to 45 minutes, he boarded the T and headed for the Fairmont Battery Wharf hotel. He thinks the blasts might have occurred while he was in transit, but after emerging a few blocks from the hotel, he walked the rest of the way to his room and fell asleep, unaware of the chaos a mile away.
"There weren't too many people out on the street, but that didn't seem odd to me since I figured most were watching the race," Bera wrote. "An hour or so later, I woke up to my brother calling me checking to see if I was OK."
Bera said it was surreal and tragic to be in Boston during the bombings. But he said the attack also brought out many runners' instinct for caring and community.
"During the race, I witness so many strangers helping and encouraging one another. And as we saw afterwards, so many people stepped up to help in many different ways when people needed it the most," Bera wrote.
"I hope that was the experience in Newtown. It sounds like it was," he wrote. "I'm sure that community will need that extra support for a very long time as they begin to heal, and I was hoping to add to my past contributions by passing along my specific thoughts and support to the Bardens. I look forward to more ways I can help."

Same Old New Class
Power in America: The Politics of the New Class
David T. Bazelon's first book, The Paper Economy, was an analysis of the corporation, in which he showed that corporations, although ostensibly private institutions, are in effect governments themselves; they tax and plan, although these functions are given other names. The failure to recognize power when it takes the form of "private" property seemed to Bazelon a characteristically American evasion of reality, alternately amusing and appalling. Not content with criticizing this absurdity and the other absurdities that follow from it, he tried to show how so radical a misconception had come about—how the sense of the corporation as a public body chartered to carry out some specific communal purpose gradually gave way to the fiction, finally enshrined by the Supreme Court as a hallowed principle of constitutional interpretation, that corporations are "persons" with all the rights of other persons under the law. In elucidating this and kindred mysteries enveloping the economic order, Bazelon showed great shrewdness, imagination, and wit, as well as an enviable ability to set out difficult subjects clearly, without oversimplification.
Power in America contains none of the virtues of the earlier book, while the characteristic vices of Bazelon's style and thought have been allowed to run unchecked. Bazelon here pontificates, engages in elaborate and tasteless witticisms, and indulges himself in long-winded pseudo-sociological speculations, some of which are not even remotely relevant to his argument. Nevertheless the main thesis of his new book, stripped of interjections, digressions, excursions and alarms, can be simply stated: Marx was wrong. The working class has not proved to be the agency of revolutionary change, as Marx expected. Instead, "the amoeba that was Marx's proletariat has divided into the Under Class [the minority of unorganized workers who still live in poverty], the Unionized Worker, and the New Class."
The "new class," which is Bazelon's special concern, consists of managers and intellectuals. (He does not explain where the rest of the white-collar class—clerks, salesmen, foreman, low-grade technicians, public-school teachers—fit into this picture; indeed he ignores this large group of people.) Having no property, the managers and intellectuals clearly do not belong to the bourgeoisie; but neither are they proletarians. They make up an administrative elite, both governmental and "private," in whose hands the machinery of the technological society, according to Bazelon, is increasingly concentrated. Whereas the feudal nobility ruled through "aristocratic status and tenure" and the bourgeoisie through "entrepreneurial use of property," the new class relies on its all-important educational advantage, which in turn secures the organizational leverage—the tenured positions at critical points in bureaucracies—without which the new class would be merely another propertyless proletariat. Education is to the new class what capital was to the capitalist; and because the technological society needs experts more than it needs capitalists—the modern corporation having effectively divorced ownership from control—the new class, with the help of its allies (the "under class" on the one hand, mugwumpish rentiers on the other) will displace the capitalists as the new ruling class. Bazelon speaks of its "inevitable ascendancy."

Prince William is president of the Football Association and has been a supporter of Aston Villa for some time and no doubt felt in his element today. The Palace jokingly said Kate hadn't brushed up on her offside rule 'I'm sure if offside rule comes up, the Duke will gallantly explain' :)
St George's Park is the FA's new National Training Centre. The 330 acre site boasts twelve full size pitches, medicine and sports science facilities, two hotels and a football centre. The £100m site is one of the most advanced sporting facilities in the world and it will be the training ground for all of the England teams.
|The FA
The England football squad in training this morning.
|Rebecca English Twitter/Mail Online
The couple toured the facility and met with players. During the tour Kate joked about putting on her trainers for a kickabout.
|The FA
William and Kate exchanged smiles before William made a brief speech.
Their Royal Highnesses unveiled a plaque.
Kate wore the £325 Reiss Angel Fit and Flare coat from the Autumn/Winter 2010 collection. The military grey knee length coat features a large wrap around collar and smart multi stitching detailing.
Yesterday Kate wore the burgundy Paule Ka suit she previously wore to a pre-christmas lunch at the Palace. Today Kate's coat appears to be the same one she wore in Sandringham before the Christmas service for a walk with the royals. Interesting to see Kate recycling these stylish pieces from her Winter wardrobe.
Kate accessorised with the Reiss Betony belt from the Spring/Summer 2009 collection and her black suede clutch.
The Duchess wore her Kiki McDonough 18ct gold amethyst and diamond drop earrings.
Kate wore her black Aquatalia Rhumbaboots. An excellent choice with the coat and of course the very cold climate... Many of you mentioned recently that you loved Kate's pre wedding style which included coats and knee high boots. Great to see Kate choosing these styles again.
There are four great videos from the visit at ITN Source.
Kate has a full day of solo engagements tomorrow beginning with a visit to Newcastle Civic Centre at 10.30 a.m.

Familiarity often breeds contempt, but when it comes to the rivalry between Lipscomb and Belmont in volleyball, familiarity breeds respect.
The Lady Bisons welcome the Bruins to Allen Arena Tuesday night at 6:30 as both teams start the second half of the Atlantic Sun round robin with the volleyball version of the "Battle of the Boulevard". The Lady Bisons, 15-3, 10-0, were unbeaten in the first round, posting a 10-0 record, and have won their last 12 matches. The Bruins are 11-9 overall, 7-3 in the conference.
"I think there is a mutual respect for each other," said Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal. "In a rivalry like this there is obviously no hatred for each other.
"There is a mutual respect for each other. And I think that mutual respect is kind of a unique thing. Anytime we play I expect the best from their team because his leadership. I would hope they would feel the same way about us."
Rosenthal and Belmont coach Brandon Webb have both guided their programs through the struggles that are typical of newer programs and have each become successful. Rosenthal earned his 100th match win Friday night against USC Upstate.
"Dean and I over the years have gotten to know each other quite a bit out on the road," said Rosenthal. "I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dean. His teams have won two titles in three years which is a hard thing to do in any sport. It wasn't long ago that we were the bottom two teams in the conference."
Both coaches are known for their abilities to quickly make adjustments. Rosenthal stresses that the familiarity between the two programs drives many of the changes that are made in matches between the two teams.
"There is a familiarity with each of us as coaches and a familiarity with the players," said Rosenthal. "We talk quite often. Both of us want to do the best job we can. We get pumped up for this match just like our players."
The Lady Bisons opened the A-Sun portion of the season with a 3-0 win over Belmont at the Curb Event Center Sept. 8. It marked the first time the Lady Bisons have won at Belmont.
"First of all, we played extremely well in that match," said Rosenthal. "We had more experience than they did. We knew it would help us.
"All the kinks have been worked out on both sides as we head into this match. We understand a little bit better that we are going to get everybody's best efforts."
There are both familiarities and differences in the playing styles of both teams.
"In some ways we are the same because we both have faster-tempo offenses," said Rosenthal. "We both have dynamic setters. On offense they are going to do a little bit more on the outside. We are going to do a little bit more in the middle. They take a different approach in serving than we do. They go for a lot of aces. Defensively, every time we play both teams want to be the defensive leader.
"We play a relaxed type of game. Not every point is relaxed, but I think, overall, our team is very much in control on the court."
Rosenthal credits captains Stefine "Jake" Pease, middle hitter Alex Kelly and opposite Erin Pierce for improving their leadership skills in order to keep the team under control.
"The leadership has grown tremendously in the past six weeks, and to me that is great," said Rosenthal. "From that standpoint there is a difference from the first match with them.
"The only thing we can do as coaches is prepare them. Then at some point we have to let them go out and play."

Tracking Tracking Management for Carriers
For operators in the shipping industry, there are many things to watch out for. Without an appropriate shipping tracking system, it is difficult to measure when delivery at any time, and unknown delays can lead to customer loss. If operators ensure that they use shipping tracking software that enables complete visibility of delivery, they can have more control over their delivery and have more control over it. With this, they can make sure to never lose a shipment and if the shipment is late or held for any reason, they can get instant news to remind their end consumers.
Transport visibility is useful to all managers in the transportation industry, but for OTR operators, it provides a level of service that can revolutionize the industry. When people have products sent by carrier, they can usually only check delivery status because they are from origin to destination, but with newer TMS systems that have integrated transport visibility, there are real-time updates on each delivery. This is an additional level of customer service that can place one delivery operator ahead of their other competition.
In today's world, businesses need all the help they can get to get ahead of their competition. Each side they get can mean the difference between success and failure. By providing additional information to the voyage, OTR operators can help ensure that they are viewed as a flagship company in their field. This will lead to more businesses and more satisfied customers.
In addition to helping improve customer satisfaction, shipping tracking software can help operators in their own operations and make it more efficient. Increased visibility of delivery can give them a better perspective on their drivers' fleets and improve their overall efficiency. This allows them to better manage their shipments and make sure everything goes where it is going.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentines call popcorn "pochoclo," but you wouldn't know that watching television here, where many shows are made in the U.S. and come dubbed by actors with Mexican or Spanish accents who call it "palomitas."
In a bid to recover part of Argentina's lost cultural heritage, create more jobs and stir up nationalist pride in an election year, President Cristina Fernandez has decreed that certain broadcast TV shows must be dubbed instead into Argentina's lyrical brand of Spanish, though stipulating the language must be "neutral" enough for all Latin Americans to understand.
The move won praise from Argentine film director Carlos Mentasti, whose most recent hit, "A Chinese Tale," beautifully captures a Buenos Aires culture clash. He complains that something important is lost when kids grow up listening to voice-overs that sound nothing like how their families and neighbors talk.
"Impregnated by television and videogames, Argentine kids often use, from a very young age, words that aren't part of our idiosyncrasy," Mentasti said. "That's why supporting everything that's ours when it comes to culture is always positive."
That hasn't stopped the move from being lampooned on social media around Latin America, playing on the stereotype that Argentines consider themselves more European and therefore superior to all their neighbors.
The Argentine way of speaking is highly distinctive, especially when served up in the "porteno" accent that instantly marks people from the nation's capital. Spanish here was heavily influenced by the waves of European immigrants who arrived in South America a century ago, and Argentines still employ grammatical constructions considered a bit archaic in many other Latin American countries.
A page for parodies on Facebook, fed by Twitter with the hashtag #doblajesargentinos, has earned 60,000 likes as people invent new Argentine subtitles for classic movie scenes. For example, while "Play it again, Sam" in Casablanca, directly and neutrally translated, might be expressed as "Tocala de nuevo, Sam," someone suggested that Argentine dubbers would employ an off-color chant crowds shout at rock concerts to encourage bands to play an encore.
Much of the slang Argentines speak daily is too raw to be printed in family newspapers, but there have been tamer posts, too, like an Argentine Darth Vader saying "Lucas, soy tu viejo," as in, "Luke, I'm your old man" rather than "Luke, I'm your father."
The measure implements a never-enforced, 25-year-old law requiring that foreign-language shows, movies and commercials that are broadcast on local television must be dubbed by actors who share "the phonetic characteristics" of Argentines.
All such content must be registered with the government, and any station or content provider failing to comply will be fined. The money will go to fund Argentina's filmmaking industry.
The decree is great news for local actors who will get more work dubbing and be able to charge intellectual property rights for movies, Argentine Dubbing School director Dany de Alzaga said. But the July 15 decree, which gives government regulators until Sept. 15 to implement the law, left many questions unanswered and provided for several major exceptions.
It ruled out new voice-overs for imported content that arrives already dubbed in another country's Spanish. It applies only to broadcast television, not cable TV or films shown in movie theaters, and it can only be enforced for content aimed solely at Argentine audiences, exempting shows that are broadcast to many countries. Weeks after the decree, the two government agencies in charge of implementing the law are still waiting for guidance from the presidency on how to go about it.
The law doesn't say who is expected to foot the bill for the new dubbing, and it is also unclear how it will affect subtitles.
A group representing the hearing-impaired is concerned enough to circulate an online petition insisting that dubbing not replace subtitles that make watching television possible for more than a half-million Argentines who have hearing disabilities.
Others say the move has less to do with culture than stoking nationalism ahead of midterm congressional elections on Oct. 27.
But for many Argentines, those criticisms — and the ribbing of their Latin American neighbors — is of secondary concern. They say Argentine culture must come first, and that citizens have a right to listen to programs that sound right to them.
"It's true that Argentines feel quite different. It's also true that this 'neutral' or 'Latin-American' tone we hear on many programs doesn't represent us," said philosopher and writer Alejandro Rozitchner. "I don't know if this law is good or bad, but it's true that years and years of watching dubbed programming generates feelings of something foreign: We don't speak this way."

Aggressive Driver (Hard Cornering)
My tires were bought used, with just around 60-75% left and I think is around 5 years old if I read the sidewall code correct. Shop said it may have only 1-2 seasons left, but it was priced right at the time.
Treadwear is great on these things. Also great on cold, dry asphalt. No noticeable difference in handling and comfort as with my Kumho and GT Radial all-seasons (when the DS-3 is under 7 degree temps). Noise is as expected of a winter tire. Not a lot of snow experience yet so I reserve my opinion on that.
One recently embarrassing, and potentially catastrophic incident happened on these tires one rainy night. I was driving downhill approaching an intersection. I missed/didn't see the yellow light which turned red and had to brake hard while going around 70-80 km/h. A car was turning left on the yellow at the intersection, so I had to put my foot down. My car doesn't have ABS, it was pouring rain hard, temperature around 10 degrees, and I was downhill. I braked hard for about 1 second, car started to go squirrely so I let go once the turning car cleared (near collision!). Then I put my foot down on the accelerator to clear the intersection as fast possible since it was solid red light already and I was in the middle. The tire did a skid of about 2-3 car lengths when I was braking, but the takeoff was fast without any wheel-spin. The (used) tire did well preventing me from getting into trouble when by all intents and purposes I should have crashed and hurt people with my own carelessness.
Based on my experience (100% city driving around Toronto), I might get the new Dunlop Winter Maxx, or Blizzaks if budget permits when it comes to replacing this set since the DS-3 is discontinued.

Please note, the description of the vehicle may differ from your markings on the car. Always refer to your user manual for a full description of your vehicle. The failure to choose the correct vehicle may affect the selection of the product that fits your vehicle and your claim for fitment guarantee may be rejected. If you feel that your exact vehicle is not listed please use "Notes and Additional Instructions" box to add your vehicle information at the checkout. A 1010TIRES.COM expert will use that information provided for verification.
Driver's Side Door Sticker Example
When upsizing or downsizing tires/wheels always refer to your original equipment tire size. Correct tire and wheel information can usually be found on the inside of the driver's side door on a sticker. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify that this information is correct prior to placing the order in order to qualify for Fitment Guarantee.
If you choose not to provide your vehicle information, or chose to skip Fitment Check, when placing an order our Fitment Guarantee is not applicable.
Once we receive your order our first priority is to check fitment. This is done by our fitment team that employs various methods and manufactures databases to check fitment. We may come to the conclusion that the products you have ordered will not fit your described vehicle. In this case, you will be notified and will be provided with alternative options. If you still feel confident about your original purchase and want to proceed with the order as is, we will ship it to you with a disclaimer to that effect and such order is not covered by our Fitment Guarantee Policy. If you need to return the order we will issue an in-store credit only and it's subject to our Return/refund policy.
Since we don't have your vehicle present to physically qualify it for fitment we rely on our collective experience and expertise, and consult numerous fitment sources to make approve fitment. Due to mechanical wear and tear of a vehicle, tires and/or wheels may not fit as intended. It is impossible to take these factors into account when verifying fitment. Therefore, on rare occasions when a customer claims the product does not fit we reserve the right to refuse such a claim based on our previous experience with the same vehicle and/ or manufacturers fitment data available to the public. In such cases we will request pictures showing the issues with fitment and will assess the claim on a case by case basis. If the claim for a fitment guarantee is denied our Return/refund policy will apply.
The vehicle description chosen or described by the customer is not complete, inaccurate or wrong.
The vehicle is not listed when order is placed.
The vehicle is listed on the manufacturers website as an approved fitment but the customer or the installer claims the product does not fit.
The manufacturer representative has qualified the product as an approved fit for your described vehicle but the customer or the installer claims that the product doesn't fit.
The order was not approved for 100% Fitment Guarantee and the order was shipped with the disclaimer to that effect
The order was approved as a fitment based on the previously filled orders for exact same vehicle and product shipped (we keep such data) but the product didn't fit due to the mechanical wear and tear.
*Please note, you are responsible for a safe keeping and handling of the order that is under our Fitment Guarantee policy. If the order is returned and we determine that the product was damaged, this voids the Fitment Guarantee policy. The refund will then be issued as per our return/refund policy.

I need to populate a database with Simplified Chinese mailing addresses. Where can I find some test data?
Since I'm trying to work with these addresses in a computer program, it would be nice to know how Chinese mailing addresses are put together. What is the format? Are they like US postal addresses?
Knowing something about the format of mailing addresses--both in theory and as they appear in practice on, in speech and on the internet--would be greatly helpful to someone trying to:
Generate plausible entries in a database of mailing addresses.
Parse or scrape addresses in automated way.
Communicate in Chinese where you live to a taxi driver.
Mail a letter to someone in China.

Birds and butterflies harmonize on the Pendelton Bird Song Muchacho Crib blanket. The joyful design is inspired by the Tree of Life pattern, a traditional Navajo pictorial rug from the 1840s. This adaptation features a bevy of bright birds that represent children in the classic pattern. They are chirping their songs and flitting to and fro among their butterfly friends. The carefree scene echoes the natural innocence and spontaneity of children the world over. Butterflies are often a symbol of transformation in Native American art, and their presence may hint at the changes that come with growing up. But for now these free-spirited playmates delight in their cheery melodies. 32" x 44". 82% pure virgin wool/18% cotton. Dry Clean. Made in the USA.

text: Share: July 31, 2011 Energy, Environmental Policy, Green Economy Congress continues to struggle with our huge and expanding budget deficit. Do we raise taxes or cut spending? Soon, I believe both will be necessary to make a meaningful change in the nation's financial health.Our current system taxes productivity — the more you work and the more you earn, the more you pay. There is a better way.Our economic system exists in an unhealthy marriage with fossil fuels — coal, oil, and natural gas. Domestic oil supplies are dwindling, requiring us to buy oil in the international market. In 2010, Americans spent a staggering $337 billion dollars foreign oil imports.While Canada and Mexico are among our top suppliers, we also conduct business with politically volatile countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq. And we are the main oil importer from Nigeria, a country that has been so mired by spills and poor environmental oversight that the Niger Delta is among the most oil-polluted places on the planet.On the home front, our fossil fuel dependence has an ugly side. Burning coal leaves us with decimated mountain ranges and polluted air. Burning natural gas will require extensive hydraulic fracturing of shale deposits, with unknown consequences on our water supply.Taxing emissions can be a solutionSolutions are within reach, we just need the political wherewithal to embrace them. We could burn a whole lot less of all of these fuels if we were simply to do so at greater efficiency. And ultimately, this would benefit the global environment.Right now there are cars on the market that get more than 60 miles to the gallon; these vehicles need to become the norm. By encouraging a national program to use high-efficiency light-bulbs, we can make a real dent in our demand for electricity. Compact fluorescent light bulbs use 75 percent less energy than their incandescent counterparts. They should be in every home.We could replace coal, oil and natural gas with renewable energy if the price to emit carbon dioxide to the atmosphere made renewable alternatives competitive in the marketplace.So, I propose that we tax carbon dioxide emissions, rather than income. A tax on carbon emissions sends the right price-signal to the economy and to the world. We will not spend billions fighting overseas wars to maintain the flow of oil. Our automobiles will reflect the conservative ideal of doing more with less, and we will retain the independence to choose what type of car to buy.Changes in our energy system will produce home-grown jobs in the United States as we repower our nation with renewable energy. As we see the solar-power industry flourish in China and wind power in Europe, it is obvious that other nations are getting a jump on us. A carbon dioxide tax will quickly bring young engineers to their drafting tables, to design a better way to power society.Yes, Congress should seriously consider an emissions tax as it considers the limited options to bring order to the financial crisis that faces us. Income tax is painful; the ancillary benefits of a carbon tax are enormous. Share: Feature Going green boosts economy › July 31, 2011

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Roughly half a million Americans have applied for health insurance through new federal- and state-run exchanges under President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, an administration official said on Saturday.
That figure comes as problems with the federal marketplace's entry portal serving 36 states, the website Healthcare.gov, have thwarted consumers from shopping for federally subsidized health coverage and drawn derision from Republicans, who oppose the law, popularly known as Obamacare.
The acknowledgement of the number of applicants, late on a weekend evening, appeared to be part of a ramped-up damage control effort by the White House.
Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is expected to provide private health coverage to an estimated 7 million uninsured Americans through the new online marketplaces that opened for enrollment in all 50 states on October 1.
But the Healthcare.gov website was hobbled by technical issues - including error messages, garbled text and delays loading pages - that administration officials blame partly on an unexpectedly high volume of 14.6 million visitors in its first several days of activity.
Obama is frustrated by the poor start and told advisers during a recent Oval Office meeting that the administration had to take responsibility for not having the site ready on time, an official said.
"The website is unacceptable, and we are improving it, but the product is good and across the country people are getting access to affordable care starting January 1," one administration official said.
"We are going to work intensely for the next six months to make sure we meet the demand."
Another administration official said that among the roughly half a million applicants, more than half lived in states where the federal government was administering the health exchanges in full or in part.
Official figures from October activity are not due until next month.
Obama is holding a healthcare-themed event at the White House on Monday and will likely address the problems.
Members of his administration plan to travel the country to encourage people in areas with high levels of the uninsured to apply, an official said, and call centers were getting more staff to deal with phone calls from applicants who have trouble getting through online.
As Washington moves on from a 16-day government shutdown that concluded this week, Republicans are also turning up the heat on the administration to address the program's problems. Republicans in the House of Representatives triggered the government shutdown in a failed attempt to defund or delay Obamacare.
Republicans have criticized Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for declining to appear before an oversight panel to discuss the issue on October 24.

Dressed to the nines and decked out in his familiar aviator sunglasses, Fire Technical Director Frank Klopas looked every bit the man in charge on Tuesday.
Watching the team and staff he so meticulously assembled during training for Saturday's match at longtime rival D.C. United, Klopas expressed his confidence that the Fire would rebound from a disappointing 0-2-1 start to the season.
"We don't feel good because we haven't gotten results in our first three games," Klopas said. "But I feel very confident with the work we put in every week… I think that we have the capacity and the ability in the players to go on the road [and get a result]. It's going to be a tough game, but we feel the confidence to go there and get a result."
One key to the Fire getting a result will be capitalizing on D.C.'s defense, perhaps the worst in the league thus far in 2010. United has conceded nine times through their first three games, and the Fire attack – which has only scored one goal from the run of play this season – should be licking their chops at the opportunity.
Still, the Fire will be without central midfielders John Thorrington and Logan Pause for the match. Both Thorrington and Pause are dealing with leg injuries and will be sidelined for their fourth and second game in a row, respectively. Expect midfielders Baggio Husidic and Peter Lowry to play in their sted.
Here's a likely lineup for Saturday's match.
GK: Andrew Dykstra
DEF: Tim Ward, C.J. Brown, Wilman Conde, Krzysztof Krol
MID: Patrick Nyarko, Baggio Husidic, Peter Lowry, Marco Pappa
FWD: Collins John, Brian McBride

You are never too old to color Easter eggs. My 23-year old daughter set up shop in the kitchen Saturday eve and noted that the bog said "must do with parental supervision" so I stayed with her - to protect her of course. I gave up politics for Lent and liked the low-blood-pressure so much, I may do it for another 40 days. But the cookies - it's time to eat them!
- April 9, 2012 at 2:58 PM
It sounds like the perfect Easter weekend at the farm with your mom. Those chocolate chip cookies look great -- as you said, I wouldn't have imagined that a little Nutella could elevate a cookie....but now I'm curious! I'm trying to think if I dare make them after all of the food I've eaten!
- April 9, 2012 at 4:02 PM
How lovely! Love the hearts in the egg.

Four Becomes One Lyrics
And you will live on. Our hearts will beat stronger.
As we remain as one, we will last just a little while longer
And as we pull ourselves together
We can't help but be torn apart
We will always have each other
Just like it was from the start
When five become four, four become one
You're not just passing on, you're passing on all the fun
We had, you made us laugh, we only cried but once
You made us laugh in photographs on display for everyone
The time has come now, and we must figure out
Driving north or going south
Growing up or falling down

Story highlights
- A report says the TSA "does not have a complete understanding" of breaches
- Breaches at Newark Airport included a knife bypassing TSA screening
- Congress will hold a hearing on the inspector general's report Wednesday.
- TSA's Pistole says the agency "can further develop and expand its oversight programs"
The Transportation Security Administration is failing to adequately report, track and fix airport security breaches, according to the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general.
As a result, the TSA "does not have a complete understanding" of breaches at the nation's airports, says a report from the inspector general.
Congress will hold a hearing on the inspector general's report Wednesday.
The report, published earlier this month, was requested by New Jersey Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg after a series of breaches at Newark Airport, including a knife bypassing TSA screening, passengers walking around security checkpoints and a dead dog transported without being screened for explosives.
TSA responded to those incidents with "corrective action," according to the inspector general, but not all the problems received the same treatment.
The TSA took action to fix only 42% of the security breaches documented at Newark Airport, according to the report.
Most of the incidents examined occurred in 2010, and the report says since then efforts to fix security breach vulnerabilities have improved.
Five other large U.S. terminals were visited by inspectors for comparison but the airports' names were withheld from the public report.
Of the six airports visited, records were found detailing efforts to fix the causes of only 53% of the breaches.
Newark was the lowest-scoring. The highest-rated airport reported corrective action in 88% of the breaches.
The inspector general also noted that while the agency did have "many programs and initiatives that report and track identified security breaches" they were "not all inclusive or centrally managed."
This lack of comprehensive, centralized data was cited as preventing the use of information to "monitor trends or make general improvements to security."
Problems with how incidents were categorized in reporting also were outlined in the report.
TSA workers at one airport reported "an improper bag handoff incident" in a database as a "sterile area access event" while another airport reported four similar incidents as "security breaches."
Management at the agency concurred with the inspector general's report.
"TSA acknowledges that it can further develop and expand its oversight programs for gathering and tracking airport security breaches," wrote administrator John Pistole.
"TSA currently collects thousands of records of incidents and security breaches occurring at airports and other transportation facilities," TSA spokesman David Castelveter told CNN in an e-mail. "TSA is coordinating appropriate revisions to relevant Operations Directives to develop a single definition of 'Security Breach,' addressing (the inspector general's) recommendation."
