Devils Lake Wrestling hosted Turtle Mountain and Fargo Davies in a three-team meet on Friday night at the Sports Center, and in both match ups, the Firebirds came out on the losing end.
Devils Lake Wrestling hosted Turtle Mountain and Fargo Davies in a three-team meet on Friday night at the Sports Center, and in both match ups, the Firebirds came out on the losing end.
Devils Lake took on Turtle Mountain in their first meet, and they were defeated convincingly, 60-12.
It was a difficult meet for most of the Firebirds, including senior Austin Schall, who sustained a last-second loss, 4-3, after his opponent, senior Gran Laducer, took Schall down with less than 10 seconds to go.
Schall picked up a hip injury after that late takedown, an injury that, for now, isn't expected to keep him out of the lineup, according to DL head coach Todd Lambrecht.
The Firebirds suffered five losses via pinfall, a total of 30 team points that went to Turtle Mountain.
The two wrestlers that earned points for Devils Lake against Turtle Mountain were the last two to compete: senior heavyweight Kamron Matejcek and 106-pounder James Fisk, both of whom pinned their opponent.
The win was the second pinfall victory of the season for Fisk, who is the youngest player in the squad as a seventh grader.
After a break in the action for Devils Lake, the Firebirds took to the mat again against EDC foe Fargo Davies, a perennially strong wrestling program.
The Eagles made short work of the Firebirds, winning the meet 63-16.
Austin Schall and Joey Good were the only two wrestlers to earn points for Devils Lake on the mat. Schall won by pinfall midway through the second period, defeating his opponent, Peter Isakson.
Later on, Good, who was pinned against Turtle Mountain, came back with a vengeance against his Davies opponent, winning by major decision, 10-2.
Devils Lake Wrestling will now have a break over the Thanksgiving weekend before resuming EDC action on Dec. 3 in Grand Forks against Central.

LAS VEGAS -- Augie Nieto, founder of Life Fitness and the driving force behind Augie's Quest, a research initiative to find a cure for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease), will appear on the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon this weekend in Las Vegas.
Nieto is scheduled to appear twice during the telethon on Monday. His appearance times (all Eastern Daylight Time) are from 1:10 a.m. to 2 a.m. and from 1:10 p.m. to 2 p.m. The second appearance will be followed by a profile of Nieto in the 2:20 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. time frame. Broadcast times vary in some areas.
John McCarthy, the former executive director of the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), will join Nieto for his first appearance. McCarthy also serves as the chairman of the annual Bash for Augie's Quest, which was held in March at the IHRSA show in San Diego. McCarthy will be presenting a check for $1.5 million, which was raised at the "Beach Bash" in March.
"It is one more example of the incredible support the fitness industry has shown Augie's Quest," Nieto said in an e-mail to Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro.
This is the third year that Nieto has appeared on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Last year, 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov joined Nieto on the show. Nieto was diagnosed with ALS in 2005.
The telethon begins at 9 p.m. EDT Sunday and lasts until 6:30 p.m. EDT Monday.
In addition to the telethon, Bally Total Fitness has teamed with the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) to raise money on behalf of Augie's Quest. Today, anyone can work out at a Bally club for a donation to the MDA of $1 or more. Also, all Bally clubs will host a special $20 group exercise class with the proceeds going to the MDA.
The Pussycat Dolls, who star in Bally's summer advertising campaign, filmed a message on behalf of the fundraiser.
"Bally is a strong advocate for ALS awareness, and we are committed to helping Augie's Quest fund research for a cure," John Wildman, chief marketing officer of Bally Total Fitness, said in a statement. "Our national event on Aug. 28 gives everyone the power to make a difference with their workout."

CHICAGO — Gov. Pat Quinn has signed a law he says makes Illinois the first state nationwide to ban products containing so-called microbeads.
Synthetic plastic microbeads are found in soaps and cosmetics and billed as a way to exfoliate. But experts have raised concerns of plastic pollution in waterways.
The new Illinois law seeks to prohibit the manufacture of such products by 2018's end and sale of such products by the end of 2019. Quinn signed the legislation Sunday.
Lawmakers in New York and California are considering similar bans.
In a statement, Quinn says the Illinois law will help safeguard Lake Michigan. However, critics have expressed concerns about the long rollout of the new law.

Had our furnace and air ducts cleaned today for the first time in years; could have spun an entire dog from all the embedded hair. The serviceman tried to upsell me with both a new reusable filter (to get 94% of the airborne substances), and a UV light to be installed in the furnace to get the other 6% worth of mold spores, bacteria and no-seeums. I bought the filter and also a thorough cleaning of the furnace, but am waiting to decide on the UV light--another $400--until I can determine if this will really improve our indoor air quality. The house is 1000 sq ft, one dog and two dogwalkers live there. Any opinions? One dogwalker (me) has asthma. I couldn't find any research from a casual googling.
Views: 59690
Try American ultraviolet they were very helpfol at AHR in chicago www.auhvac.com call and ask questions I know nothing about it...yet
Since I posted, Jim Gunshinan sent me a link from the EPA website which basically says that UVGI cleaners for home use haven't been proven very effective yet for a number of reasons. They kill some organisms but not others. They recommend a HEPA filter in the furnace and says the following about mold removal--one of the benefits the serviceman claimed the lamp would have:
"No research or studies were found that show UV disinfection is effective in reducing dust mite and mold allergenicity or that UV radiation has the potential to remove gaseous pollutants. Because mold is allergenic, whether dead or alive, it can cause allergic reactions in sensitive populations. Therefore, UVGI cleaners might not be effective in reducing allergy and asthma symptoms. If mold is growing indoors, it should be removed."
Make sure to buy a Catalyst Based uv and not just a uv light. The catalyst based will produce ions that spread through the entire house. The uv light will only treat the exposed surface and not the air moving across, having very little effect. Also check the humidity levels. At 50% mold and bacteria won't grow. I use a phi cell along with a hepa filter in my home.
Adding a HEPA filter to the unit might not be wise. You want the correct filter for the correct airflow. You can pickup a stand alone HEPA filter for about 100 bucks. I have always been a fan a specific use products for specific tasks. This will go along way toward cleaning the air in your space. It uses less energy than the furnace.
While not very green of me I would prefer to discard filters and install new ones.
I would question why dog hair is making it to the ducts. With a properly installed filter on the return dog hair should not make it into the system. I have dogs cats and kids in a 1600 sq ft house with the doors an open door policy so the animals can come and go as they please. I have no hair in my ducts.
If you have a platform for your return I would suggest a new filter box grill and installing if the only filter is under the furnace itself. I would seal the return area with mastic and duct board if it is unconditioned space now
This makes it far easier to replace and will keep debris out of that space
I am not a fan of ozone, lights, ions or other such products and would never recommend them unless I get new information
I sincerely hope duct sealing is either being considered or has already happened as part of this process. Like Glen already mentioned, my primary concern would be how the mess got into your ductwork in the first place, and start there. It's worth asking why contractors that actively market duct cleaning and UV lights ignore that critical point. Source control, source control, source control.
My ducts are relatively new and all wrapped/sealed. The problem is that the cold air return is a floor grate in my 1926 bungalow and the hair just rolls in there like tumbleweed. We are thinking about getting screening mesh and placing it on the underside of the grate to prevent any more hair deposits, and vacuuming out weekly. I've decided against the UV light; am awaiting delivery of the new furnace filter.
Thanks to everyone who weighed in on this!!
The UV light in the recirculating pump in the small pond by the front door seems to really help keep the algae in check. I have installed several UV lights in the return air plenum of forced air heating systems. You're right, their about $400. Trouble is, you never really know if the light is helping the asthma patient. Can not whip out a testing tool and take a reading. Of the several I've installed, no one has gotten back to me and said,"Wow, I sure feel better." I don't install them anymore, I just increase the quality of the air filter and call it good.
The screen over the grate seems to be a good idea as a contribution to fixing the problem.
But no one wrote of ventilation. You should make sure that the source of any mold is eliminated, and the cause is abated.
Fresh air into the home properly controlled will be a major contribution to improving indoor air quality.
IMO UV lights are oversold at ridiculous markups and under perform relative to expectations.
I refuse to install them unless a client insists, supported by written directive from an allergist or MD, that they truly need one.
That sounds like a ozone generator. I always advise against introducing ozone in to an occupied building. Ozone is a very caustic gas, that is why it can clean surfaces. Putting this system in a small room could elevate ozone to very high levels.
UV light by itself does not produce ozone or other byproducts. Its more like giving a deadly sunburn to the virus of bacteria.
The 4" thick media filters are the best filtration system IMHO.
Exactly what we supply...4 or 5" media cabinet and deep pleated filter. They generally last 6 months, and we change them during spring / fall PM visits if the client does not want to be bothered.

Microsoft is continuing their phased closure of the Zune Marketplace, which has been replaced with Xbox Music and Video. The latest change involves users not being able to purchase music or video through the service starting as early as August 22nd. For that reason, Microsoft is encouraging you to spend any Microsoft Point balances before that date.
The move appears to be a combination of Microsoft wanting to move away from Zune, a necessary decision if they want to support only Xbox Music and Video, and the retirement of the MS Points system, which is being replaced by cash across their entire ecosystem.
Email that Microsoft is sending to Zune Pass holders
The good news is those with an original Zune Pass, which allowed 10-free downloads per month, will still be able to continue to exercise that offer (since no Points or Money are exchanged, that makes sense). In a similar fashion, streaming of free content, including music, won't be affected either.
Microsoft has published an easy to digest Q&A on the changes and if you have a Zune Pass, it behooves you to take the five minutes to read it through.

Anyway, I just had to whine. When I had Loki's hips screened, I didn't get a copy of her rads. When the pups get screened, maybe I'll just pack my camera and shoot a picture of them before we leave.
The vet I use for OFA has a digital X-ray machine, and I just pay an extra $5 to get copies of the X-rays on a CD for my own use.
Some of the factors in consideration are breed specific. In GSDs, I'd rather see a Good or Excellent, because those ratings are much easier to come by in that breed, and I trust the OFA radiologists more with GSD films than with SBT films, because they see a lot of the GSDs! There are a total of 420 SBTs that have been screened for HD by the OFA, over 30 years or so, which means that any given radiologist is unlikely to have seen more than a few of them.
That said, I don't think breeding a Fair to a Fair necessarily means going downhill. It depends very much on why the dog was rated as Fair. Fair is a passing rating! If the coverage is good, and the joint reasonably tight, I would not worry about dysplasia at all, even if the OFA does find some persnickety reason to rate the hips as "Fair".
We can't do anymore than guess about the OP's dog, since the films are poor, and none of us are OFA radiologists, so this is all just general information.

March 30, 2013
Rock Hill, NY
Mahealani Werner-Tallia was called by our Lord Jesus, to eternal paradise on March 30, 2013, at home in the arms of her loving husband, Dr. John Tallia. She was 43 years old.
She fought a long and valiant battle, for the love of her family, against the most wretched of all ailments. Mahi worked many years as office manager for her husband and was loved and will be missed by all of their patients.
We pray that her two young boys, Hunter and Dante will find solace and have their tears of grief dried by knowing that she is now an Angel, residing with our Heavenly Father, watching over them. She also leaves behind her mother, Roweena and two siblings in New York City.
The family gives thanks to Dr. M. Perry and all the staff of CRMC Oncology Dept. for their Herculean efforts. Maria Cruz and the other good nurses and team members of Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties deserve accolades for easing her final journey. Gratitude is due to Cara, Steven and Johnny and our many friends who have lent a helping hand during these trying times. Special love goes out to Susan and Jack McCormick whose constant and continued efforts are the glue which binds the fabric of our family together. Thank you "Nettie" for keeping my mind reasonably sound.
Her funeral mass will be celebrated on Friday, April 5th at 11 a.m. at the Church of St. Joseph, 180 Sullivan Street in Wurtsboro with Fr. Peter Madori officiating, followed by interment at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Wurtsboro. A celebration of Mahi's life will follow at the Rock Hill Fire House, 61 Glen Wild Road in Rock Hill.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Hunter or Dante Tallia are humbly asked for.
Arrangements are under the direction of the VanInwegen-Kenny, Inc. Funeral Home; for additional information or to send an online condolence, please visit www.kennyfuneralhome.com .

Welcome back, 24Ways team!
I love the idea of using transparency in borders to blend them in a bit to a textured or photographic background. Tiny touches like that really lift an interface.
Varying opacity on hover is also a nice effect, but I've noticed a few sites doing this on elements that aren't actually link targets, which I find distracting.
Bring on the rest of the month!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 14, 2013) – ETSU men's basketball head coach Murry Bartow announced Tuesday that the Buccaneers have officially received a national letter of intent from junior college transfer Jaylen Riley (Racine, Wis.).
Riley, a 6-foot, 175-pound shooting guard, averaged 19.3 points a game last season for Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, Ill. Riley was a third-team NJCAA Division I All-American a year ago, shooting 40 percent from 3-point range and 71 percent from the foul line.
"We were searching for a combo guard who can score, and Jalen meets that need," Bartow said. "He can really make threes, but he can also create his own shot, which is something we were looking for. We obviously felt like we needed more scoring punch on the perimeter, and with Jaylen we are getting a guy that averaged 20 points a game last year."
For Riley, he has a simple goal for his time at ETSU.
"I want to show the fans at ETSU how much passion I have for the game, and I hope all of us can have a lot of fun," Riley said. "I'm a shooter and I like to score the basketball, but the biggest thing is I love the game and I'm ready to seize the opportunity I'm getting in Johnson City. I really like the coaching staff and the guys on the team, and I'm really thankful for this chance to play at ETSU."
Despite his ability to shoot and score the basketball, Sauk Valley Community College head coach Russ Damhoff said Riley is not just a one-dimensional player.
"He did make 95 three pointers for us and shot over 40 percent last year, and at the end of the year I think most teams knew that he was the guy we were going to when we needed points – but he's much more than that," Damhoff said. "He's not afraid to pass and no one on our team thought of him as selfish. All year he made a huge difference for us, especially when we moved him to the two-guard. He's very coachable and the best thing about him is he's got an extremely high basketball I.Q."
"I think the fans at East Tennessee State will enjoy having him on the team."
Riley joins a trio of players who have already signed to join the Bucs' 2013-14 recruiting class, a group that includes Devin Harris (Tampa, Fla.), Maurice O'Field (Cleveland, Ohio) and A.J. Merriweather (Jackson). For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the offseason, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

Tami & Chase's Schindler Rental
Name: Tami, actor, owner of The Sweet-Nest Project + Showroom Manager at Harbinger, and Chase, Healthcare Consultant + Artist
Location: West Hollywood – Los Angeles, California
Size: 1,200 square feet
Years lived in: 1 month
Tami and Chase looked and looked for a place to call their first home together. After getting frustrated seeing the same typical apartments, they came across a Schindler duplex available for rent. What a dream — a Schindler house for rent! The next day they put in their application, gave a deposit, and made sure they were going to beat out the long list of other applicants.
When Tami and Chase shared that this is the first time that they've lived together, and that they decorated their home in one month, and worked together on a handful of DIY projects, I was impressed that they were still smiling and in love. We all know that sometimes when you move in with someone you love things can go awry. Also, big congrats on doing a great job merging the two styles and making sure no one felt left out.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style:
Tami: Chase's style is what we like to call a M4 Fusion: minimal + modern + Mid-Century + monochromatic. My style is more of a modern vintage combination, with hints of whimsy and a generous helping of color. It never fails, whenever we walk into a store with furniture, I'm immediately drawn to the first white lacquered thing I see, and I'll look around for Chase and he's standing next to the nearest rustic wood piece. Thankfully, both of our styles are pretty complimentary. But moving in together, it definitely took time and editing on both our parts to make sure each of our styles was reflected without overpowering or muting the others'.
Chase: We really wanted a space that would facilitate our lifestyle. We wanted a place where we could host parties and have people over for brunch. But we also love reading and painting and listening to music and making random art projects, so at the same time, it needed to be a comfortable place to be quiet and creative. Coming from a loft, storage was also really important. I'm all about simplifying, but I didn't want to have to give up our outdoor lifestyle because there wasn't anywhere to keep the bikes or the surfboards.
Tami: It was a huge layer of frosting on our cake that the architect created this space with a lot of those things in mind. Schindler was very big on community and environments that fostered that. We were given really great bones to work with. We really wanted the things we added to it to accentuate the existing elements, and to infuse our own style and interpretation into what Schindler intended. In the beginning we sort of struggled with preserving the integrity of the era when the house was built. But: A) neither of us really came into the situation with much in the way of 1920s modern and B) we didn't want to live in a museum. Where we finally landed was a consciousness of WWSD: What Would Schindler Do (if he built this house in 2012).
Favorite Element:
Chase: For me, it's the overall character of the house, and the giant window in our living room. I think you can find a lot of apartments that, on paper, sound the same and offer the same features and amenities. But when you walk in here, those two things really separate it and make it stand out.
Tami: The light! The natural light literally floods in. It's amazing. During the day, you don't feel like you're cooped up indoors because so much of the outside becomes part of the inside. Another very well thought through design aspect from Schindler. Also, the washer and dryer. I don't know if that counts, but I have lived in apartments since I was 18 and this is my first in-unit washer and dryer. It's the best thing. I can't stop doing laundry. I actually get disappointed when it's all caught up.
Biggest Challenge:
Chase: The combining of our styles and things. It was hard making sure neither of our personalities were lost in the merging. We didn't want the end product to feel like it was more mine or more Tami's, but both of ours. Trying to find that balance was tricky.
Tami: I second that. Also, the closets. Or, rather, the lack thereof. It's going to take some creative solutions to find a place for everything.
What Friends Say:
Tami: Usually some combination of:
A) You should start a side business doing this. (hence the birth of The Sweet-Nest Project)
B) Will you come over and do this for my house?
C) A request to contract Chase's various artistic abilities for a custom painting, pallet art piece, or (now) wall mural
Biggest Embarrassment:
Chase & Tami - in unison: Anything that's behind closed doors!
Proudest DIY:
Chase: The lights over our dining table. It was a big challenge to find something functional and also impactful without altering the structure of the house at all. We debated for a while because this option could have gone one of two ways — really tacky looking and bad or really ambient and cool. I think it definitely went the latter.
Tami: I think our bedroom is sort of one big DIY project — my bedside table that started out as an unstained wooden Ikea chest, our tiny paper airplane installation, our mural wall. I think if I saw any of these ideas somewhere else, I would think "oh, I could totally do that," and you can. We did. Not only did each of them add color and character and texture to the room, they became more personal because we had the experience of making it happen. Now, we look at those tiny paper airplanes and enjoy how fun and quirky they look, but we also see the night we sat on the sofa with a pair of scissors and string, watching a marathon of TV and test-launching folded pieces of decorative paper across the living room.
Biggest Indulgence:
Chase: My record player. Listening to music at home is so much more of an experience on vinyl. It isn't just putting something on in the background through your computer. It becomes interactive and pulls you into it. Having to physically flip through albums, change sides, place the needle — it involves you. I feel like I'm hearing music how the artists were recording it or intending it instead of a thin recreation of it. Explaining it is difficult — it's just warmer. It's also more fun to find new music. I know a lot of people like sharing playlists and I'm sure that's cool, but there is something really fun about browsing through physical records and sharing great finds with friends.
Tami: Fresh flowers and burning candles. Not the most expensive things as indulgences go, but I think they make such a big difference in making a house feel homey. There's something very special-occasion feeling about burning candles and buying fresh flowers, so to have them on a regular day feels so luxurious.
Best Advice:
Chase: My advice is: keep the big picture in mind because it's really easy to get caught up in 'I want this' or 'this person wants that.' If you're looking at the big picture, it makes handling the individual disagreements easier. If you're on the same page for the whole, then it's much easier to navigate each step involved in getting there.
Tami: My advice would be to buy one thing at a time. And by that I mostly mean, really love each thing you buy. It's really easy, when you want a space to be put together (finally), to just buy whatever's easiest, fastest and will work. We put our place together in less than a month, so I totally get it. But we didn't do it all in one run to Ikea. Everything we bought (Ikea items included), we bought very intentionally. And everything we bought was something we really liked and were excited about. It's so worth it when you look around your room and you think "oh, that's my favorite… no, wait, that's my favorite… oooo, but I really love this!" It's like walking into your favorite store, but you live there and it's all yours!

Chase: Environment on Beverly Blvd in LA.
Tami: I love love love Etsy, Anthropologie, CB2 and West Elm.

Once upon a time, in a land, far, far away, there were two mobile operating systems. One of them was designed for mobile from the ground up; the other was trying really hard to copy its older, desktop brother. One was limited in functionality, inflexible and lacked multitasking, but was very efficient, fast, and easy to use. The other had everything and the kitchen sink, was very flexible and could multitask, but had a steep learning curve, was inconsistent, and not particularly pretty.

Yeah, that stands to reason since K-9 Mail is based on the stock client's source, and their ultimate goal is to push their improvements back upstream so that everyone has access to stuff like PGP/GPG encryption in their stock client. K-9 Mail is so good, in fact, that it even worked fine on cwhuang's horribly unstable Honeycomb x86 builds.

Used 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C63 AMG Review
Edmunds expert review
The 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class has many key attributes that make it a competitive, entry-level luxury performance sedan -- the C63 AMG in particular offers power and torque unmatched by its competitors. However, in certain aspects, the C-Class misses the mark.
What's new for 2009
Vehicle overview
In the über-competitive market of entry-level luxury performance sedans, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has become a legitimate contender after years of also-ran status. We weren't big fans of the previous-generation model, as we found it overpriced considering its lackluster interior, performance and quality. Things changed dramatically last year, however, with a complete redesign that brought about a renewed emphasis on the traits that Mercedes is traditionally known for, as well as an extra dollop of sportiness to compete with its German rivals.
Although the car's dimensions, suspension design and V6 engines largely carried over from the previous generation, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class gained an improved interior with higher-quality materials, an optional hard-drive-based navigation and multimedia system, and an easier-to-use COMAND interface. The Luxury and Sport trim levels were also clearly differentiated in terms of styling, suspension tuning and interior design. Midway through the model year, Mercedes released the long-awaited, all-new C63 AMG. The performance-oriented sedan came loaded with a 6.2-liter V8 cranking out a thundering 451 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque.
This year, Mercedes further distinguishes its Luxury models from the Sport models; the latter get a sport-inspired instrument cluster, which is a logical addition to the Sport's already distinctive interior, and more aggressive exterior styling. On the safety front, all 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class models get seat-mounted front pelvic airbags. For music buffs, the optional hard-drive-based navigation system's larger size (40GB) now has 6GB reserved for music.
With its mix of driving involvement, comfort and high-tech goodies, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a fine choice for an entry-luxury sedan. However, the V6-powered models are up against stiff competition from the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Cadillac CTS, Infiniti G35 and Lexus IS. Here, the C-Class holds advantages in terms of its top-notch build quality and distinct models, but is let down by its comparatively less powerful engines and typically higher price. The C63 AMG is a different animal, though -- with all that power and torque, it gives the Audi RS4, Lexus IS-F and the vaunted M3 a serious run for their money.
Trim levels & features
The 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is an entry-level luxury sedan available in four trim levels: two versions of the C300, one C350 and one C63 AMG. The C300 Luxury and C300 Sport share the same engine, but differ in exterior styling elements, interior trim, front seat design, suspension tune and standard transmission. Both C300 trims' standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, eight-way power front seats, a tilt-telescoping steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, MB-Tex cloth upholstery, the COMAND control interface with a pop-up display screen, Bluetooth connectivity and an audio system with single-CD player and an auxiliary audio jack. The C300 4Matic Luxury and C300 4Matic Sport models have the same features but add all-wheel drive.
The C350 Sport is essentially a C300 Sport with the Premium I Package and black bird's eye maple wood interior trim, while the C63 AMG comes with all the standard features of the C350 Sport and adds a firmer suspension, bigger brakes, 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, special AMG exterior and interior styling cues, unique AMG seats with aggressive side bolsters, split-folding rear seats and aluminum shift paddles.
All C300s can be equipped with the Premium I Package that adds rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming mirrors, heated front seats, satellite radio and driver side memory with power steering column and tilt-down reverse passenger mirror. Optional on all C-Class trim levels is the Premium II Package that adds LED taillamps, corner-illuminating foglights, split-folding rear seats (except for the C63 AMG, since these come standard), a power rear window sunshade and bi-xenon headlamps. The Multimedia Package includes a hard-drive-based navigation system, voice controls and a premium Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system that adds an in-dash six-CD changer.
For the C63 AMG, an optional AMG Seating Package adds premium leather upholstery, driver and passenger memory seats and a four-way power-adjustable steering column. The AMG Performance Package adds a limited-slip rear differential, a compound braking system with cross-drilled rotors, a more aggressively tuned suspension and an increased top speed of 174 mph.
Stand-alone options include leather upholstery, a panorama sunroof, TeleAid satellite communications, 18-inch wheels, an iPod integration kit and the in-dash CD changer.
Performance & mpg
All 2009 C300 models are powered by a 3.0-liter V6 that produces 228 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic is standard on the C300 Luxury and optional on the C300 Sport, which comes standard with a six-speed manual. Mercedes estimates a 0-60-mph time of around 7 seconds. All C-Class models are rear-wheel drive except for the C300 4Matics, which are all-wheel drive.
The C350 Sport is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The seven-speed automatic is the only transmission choice. In track testing, we clocked the C350 from zero to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, which is quick on its own merits but unremarkable compared to the BMW 335i and Infiniti G35. Mercedes estimates C350 fuel economy to be 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined. A rear-drive C300 with an automatic transmission has a rather unimpressive 18/25/21 mpg rating.
The rear-wheel-drive C63 AMG is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 that pumps out 451 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission that allows the driver to choose from three different shift modes that adjust shift speeds for comfort, sporty or high-performance driving styles. In our tests, the C63 AMG was able to rip from zero to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. Fuel economy ratings are 12 mpg city/19 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined.
The C-Class comes with a full load of standard safety equipment, including front side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, front seat-mounted pelvic airbags, active front head restraints, stability control, traction control and adaptive antilock brakes that feature brake assist, brake drying, pre-pressure and hill-start assist. In government testing, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class received four stars (out of a possible five) for both driver and passenger in frontal impacts, and five stars for front and rear passengers in side impact collisions.
In a straight line, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz C300 and C350 won't set any records. But steering and handling are precise, and in terms of overall dynamics, the car measures up just fine compared to others in this segment. Despite its somewhat sporty character, the C-Class is never harsh on the road, and it can tackle long road trips with ease. The C300 Luxury rides a little softer than the Sport versions and has a quieter exhaust system, resulting in a more serene driving environment, though naturally this model doesn't handle quite as well.
The C63 AMG, on the other hand, is built first and foremost with performance in mind. With torque peaking at 442 lb-ft at 5,000 rpm, acceleration is effortless, regardless of speed. The C63 feels much more fluid and better balanced than its predecessor, the C55. It responds to driver inputs with added sharpness and a degree of communication few other regular production Mercedes-Benz models offer. But while the C63's ride is firm, it rarely seems too harsh or noisy, even on poor pavement. It's quite possible that the 2009 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG could be an M3 killer -- as long as you're cool with an automatic.
It's beautifully crafted, but the C-Class cabin can come off as austere and a bit bland -- although the AMG version packs quite a bit more punch. When equipped with the Multimedia Package, the C-Class is transformed into a mobile sound studio and movie theater. For 2009, the built-in hard drive's storage capacity has increased, leaving 6GB of space for music (about 1,500 songs). With the car in Park, the system can also play DVDs through the pop-up LCD screen and superb Logic 7 surround-sound system.
On the downside, even though the latest generation boasts more spacious dimensions, the C-Class is still on the small side for its class. Trunk capacity is 12.4 cubic feet, which can be expanded on models equipped with split-folding rear seats.

A bill aimed at preventing employees from fraudulently collecting unemployment benefits was signed into law today by Gov. Chris Christie.
The law now requires employers to report new hires to the state Department of Human Services, with the intent of sharing that information with other agencies to limit benefits fraud.
"This requirement will be very helpful in stemming the incidence of those who fail to inform the appropriate department they have returned to work," Assemblyman Anthony Bucco (R-Randolph), the bill's primary sponsor in the Assembly, said today in a release.
The law also will apply to those rehired by the same employer after at least 60 days of separation from his or previous term of employment. Employers will have up to 20 days following a new hire or rehire to submit the required information to the state.
"The citizens of New Jersey count on their legislators to make sure their tax dollars are used lawfully and responsibly," state Sen. Tony Bucco (R-Denville), a primary sponsor of the Senate bill, said today in release. "With the signing of this law, New Jersey can make sure that those who are truly in need receive assistance while safely protecting tax dollars from waste and abuse."
The bill unanimously passed the Assembly in June, and received another unanimous stamp of approval last month from the Senate.
"Our residents are being extremely careful with how they budget and spend as our economy recovers," Tony Bucco said. "It is imperative that their government does the same."

Maybe it's because we have a little cowgirl running around. Or maybe I have a minor case of cabin-hermit fever. Or maybe I just have way too much time on my hands. Whatever it is, I am having a blast hiding Easter Eggs this year. What a place to hide eggs, too. This Colorado Dude Ranch has endless hiding spots. See if you can guess each spot!
Oh, and yes, it is snowing. April 1st and still snowing. Hmmph.
A horse feed box.
In the pasture with the cows.
The DWR sign post.
In with the chicks. I hope their eggs aren't this color when they start laying.
In the hay barn.
In with the Mommy Shiloh and her kittens.
A cabin porch.
The big chicks. "What is this? Is it going to hatch?"

Not all Plastic Surgeons have the surgical sxpertise and skill, view of our surgeons. Chicago Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Algird Mameniskis, boasts decades of experience. Read why patients choose Dr. Algird Mameniskis and Dr. Roman Voytsekhovskiy (testimonials) as their surgeons of choice. Then You Decide... Why Choose The Cosmetic Surgery Institute?
With more than seven decades of combined experience amongst our team of plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons in Chicago provide unmatched experience.
Throughout my career as a Chicago Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, patients have asked, "Doctor give me a good reason why I should choose you as my surgeon?" My answer to this question always included the following.
First and foremost, I am a perfectionist particularly when operating. I meticulously attend to every detail down to the last stitch and I spare no effort to insure a great surgical result.
Of equal importance is my artistic eye and excellent sense of proportion since cosmetic surgery is as much an art form as it is a science. I pride myself in surgical outcomes that are consistently natural in appearance and not at all overdone.
But what really sets me apart from my peers is my years of experience. Thirty five years to date. The number of successful surgeries I've performed such as facelifts, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, nose reshaping, breast augmentations, breast lifts, breast reductions, liposuction and tummy tucks total in the thousands.
When it comes to cosmetic surgery, I've seen it all, making me better prepared to deal with your particular procedure then those of less experience.
Don't simply take my word. I invite you to critically peruse my before and after pictures. If you like what you see in my photo gallery, ask for Dr. Ross, when scheduling your personal consultation, so that we can discuss the procedure you are interested in. The Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute has four cosmetic surgery locations in the Chicago area for your convenience. Our offices are located in downtown Chicago, Arlington Heights, Oak Brook , and Naperville Illinois.
I am sure you will not be disappointed.
