Chrysler is recalling certain 2013 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks
RECALL Subject : No Warning of Turn Signal Malfunction/FMVSS 108
Report Receipt Date: JUN 04, 2013
NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V237000
Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Number of Units Affected: 30,197
Manufacturer: Chrysler Group LLC
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks manufactured September 9, 2012, through March 5, 2013 and equipped with optional premium tail lamps. In the affected vehicles, the turn signal indicator may not flash at a double rate to give a notification to the driver of a turn signal malfunction. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Without a warning that the turn signal is malfunctioning, the driver would continue to use the vehicle, unaware that other drivers on the road are not being notified that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Central Body Controller software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in July 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N35.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153)

Officials cut ribbon on $50 million Marriott Residence Inn Seaport
(Image courtesy Isabel Leon/Mayor's Office Photography)
The South Boston Waterfront officially welcomed the Marriott Residence Inn Seaport to the neighborhood, after city officials and company executives cut the ribbon on the property Monday.
Located at 370 Congress St. and boasting 120 extended stay hotel rooms, the $50 million project aims to serve business professionals and those looking for a hotel for more than a few nights.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino joined developers that afternoon to snip the ribbon on the six-story building, which was constructed in the early-1900s. The building is believed to have once housed a sugar and molasses warehouse, according to the Boston Globe.

2 Samuel 6:5
And David and all the house of Israel were making merry before the LORD with all their might, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals.
Dorothy L. Sayers once remarked that modern culture regards God as something one uses a "certain tone of voice" to speak about. Secular people have the curious notion that Christians believe everything must be prim, solemn, and rather pricklish. There appears to be idea that if you are a "devout Catholic" you must more or less stand around disapproving of everything. As H.L. Mencken observed of puritanism, so many people today believe a pillar of Catholicism is the haunting fear that someone, somewhere is having fun. In reality, however, it is Catholic faith that has at its inmost heart sheer merriment. We believe that, in the end, love wins and the Universe consummates, not with a bang or a whimper, but with a big party called the Marriage Feast of the Lamb. David anticipated this cosmic whooptidoo with a little party of his own, celebrating the homecoming of the Ark of the Covenant just as we shall one day celebrate the Homecoming of the Bridegroom. Today, take some time and make merry before the Lord.

Week 11 followers of the fearsome! Welcome back to that trampling terrapin post!
This week we'll be giving all you great folks a preview of our art tumblr! Remember when game manuals had all those neat pictures of the enemies in the game? Well we're bringing it back with some Tumblr technology in something we're calling "Shellrazer Scoundrels". We'll be releasing an enemy a week drawn up in a fun Polaroid style for you guys to check out and prepare yourself when they come up to your turtle. We have a bunch of baddies implemented in the game and we had so much fun blowing them up we wanted to give them the representation they deserve! So without any further ado here's our goblin peasant archer, not to great of a shot and of an even weaker constitution, these will be the first few foes you'll fire upon.
Last week we hit up those super people at Full Indie and showed off our stuff to a capacity crowd. It was super great getting people to play the game right in front of us and see their reactions to the mechanics and fire the guns at those gobbos. Shellrazer was also shown around at the local Art show Anomally: 2012 last Saturday to a bunch of the art crowd and close friends! It looks like our triumphant turtle is trickling out too the masses, but we must stay humble. So to remind us just how tricky some things are here's our defeat screen! The player will be greeted by this tragic turn of events if that horde gets through and beats up your beast! Hopefully you guys won't be seeing this screen too often, but don't worry if you do because you'll still get some scratch to support your war efforts.
So another week has trampled by and we are getting closer and closer to our goal of launching this beast! We are getting some video's up really soon and sound is coming into our game. Crafted by industry veteran Jenn Lewis, these awesome audio bites will be sure to bolster our battles and leave everyone's ears salivating!
Thanks again for stopping by our blog and a HUGE thanks for everyone out there that checked out our game! So until next time, keep those turtle cannons blazing!
I almost can't believe it: Slick Entertainment is a decade old! In the last 10 years we've made a bunch of great games, and I am super proud of what we've achieved with our small team: 4 fun games, custom C++ engine on 6 different platforms, 3 games feature online multiplayer, all hand-drawn art for […]

Maybe Littler Kim isn't quite as insane as Lil' Kim:
North Korea has agreed to halt nuclear tests, long-range missile launches and enrichment activities at its Yongbyon nuclear complex in exchange for food aid from the United States, the State Department said Wednesday.
The state-run North Korean news agency, KCNA, announced the agreement separately.
This is the first positive sign we've had out of North Korea … ever? No, since just the last time Lil' Kim played this game. But this may indicate that Kim Jong Un is not quite batshit insane enough to favor nuclear weapons over starving citizens.
I have no idea how this will play out. But let's keep our fingers crossed.

Taxation of Employee Share Ownership Schemes - The New Rules
Published on 16 Mar 2010 | Took place at Stamford Plaza Adelaide, SA
The 2009 Federal Budget announced a significant change to the taxation of employee share ownership schemes. The announcement received significant criticism from tax professionals and employers which resulted in the Federal Government refining the Budget announcement. The proposed provisions have gone through a consulting process, through Parliament and are now final legislation, with effect from 1 July 2009.
This event covered how employee share and option schemes are now taxed.
This event was aimed at people who assist or advise on the design and implementation of employee share schemes for companies. However those who prepare tax returns for employees with employee shares or options also benefitted.
Note: David Williams' paper Employee Share & Option Arrangements – Where are we now? was also delivered at the 9 February 2010 event Current Corporate Tax Issues, held in Sydney. The paper, updated for this event, can be downloaded there.

text: CAPE TOWN - Earlier in April 2013 we reported on a survey showing South African young drivers to be "too aggressive" and "easily distracted" when compared to their global counterparts.Goodyear's annual 2013 road safety survey of 6400 drivers under the age of 25 from South Africa and 15 other countries reveals that SA young drivers believe owning a vehicle is a ticket to "true independence".RIDE TO DE-STRESSInterestingly 61% said their car was a reflection of their personality while 52% used theirs to get away from their nagging folks. Almost half of all newly qualified drivers enjoy cruising for pleasure without any particular destination in mind (46%) while 22% confess to using their car for an adrenalin rush. Youngsters from Russia (73%), Poland (63%), Turkey (63%) and South Africa (61%) cruise the most, according to the survey. Results from the survey:Owning a car is a way of gaining independence – 73% (global: 55%)Does your car reflects your personality? - 61% (global - 36%)Do you use your car to de-stress? - 67% (global: 41%)Do you use your car to escape from your parents? - 52% (global: 30%)Lize Hayward, Goodyear brand communications manager, said: "Young people today have a very particular relationship with their cars and South Africans more than most, as our survey revealed."Men are more likely than women to see their car as a means of independence while German, Swedish and Austrian young drivers are the most pragmatic and see their cars as just a means of transport."STEAMY WINDOWSAs many as 18% of global respondents said they have sex in their car, though South Africans are more conservative - only 14% admitting to doing so. SA drivers are the fourth most likely to kiss while driving (33%, global average 26%).Unsurprisingly, more men (24%) than women (13%) said they've had sex in their car and a whopping 43% of Russians and 27% of Spaniards and Czechs claimed to be sexually active in their rides. The Dutch (9%), French (8%) and British (8%) are the least likely to get it on in the back seat. WHEN THINGS GO WRONGThe survey showed that youngsters are, in some ways, slower to gain independence than previous generations and retain a strong attachment to their parents – particularly when it comes to dealing with car trouble. Asked how they would behave if they had a flat tyre, respondents revealed that they were not as independent as they would like to believe. Overall, 44% of drivers polled said they would change a wheel themselves while 23% would call their parents and 12% would call their boyfriend or girlfriend. Russians are the most self-sufficient, with 64% likely to change a wheel on their own, followed by South Africans (55%) and Czechs (54%). Only one-third of young drivers from Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland would do the job alone. 'LACK OF CONFIDENCE'South Africans (90%) were the most comfortable driving on their own after completing their driving training (global: 78%) and they are also the most likely to check tyre pressure regularly for safety (81% vs global average 68%).Parents take note: Only 23% of SA youngsters admitted to being taught how to change a wheel (global: 20%). Hayward said: "With so many young drivers lacking the confidence even to change a wheel, there is certainly a need for more training." Email us and we'll publish your thoughts on Wheels24.

ATLANTA--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--The award-winning1 family of Dura-Lite® containers, co-developed by Consolidated Container Company (CCC) and Milacron's (NYSE: MCRN) Uniloy® product brand, continues to impress customers, consumers, and industry experts since its launch in 2016. Dura-Lite® containers are available in gallon, half-gallon, and quart sizes, presenting customers the opportunity to leverage a matched set of bottles with similar aesthetic features and enhanced performance characteristics.
"Our investments in compelling, value-based solutions such as Dura-Lite® have started to make waves across the industry and help solidify CCC's position as a packaging solutions provider of choice for our customers."
Dura-Lite® bottles are designed to use between 10% and 25% less plastic than comparable traditional designs – all while meeting or exceeding the key performance attributes of those traditional designs. "By using less plastic in a distinctive design package, Dura-Lite® can help our customers realize supply chain savings, meet sustainability targets, and refresh the look and feel of their products," said Alex Bernhardt, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Commercial Excellence at CCC. "Our investments in compelling, value-based solutions such as Dura-Lite® have started to make waves across the industry and help solidify CCC's position as a packaging solutions provider of choice for our customers."
Robert Spagnoli, Global Product Manager, Molds and Tooling, Uniloy, said, "The success of the Dura-Lite® container is a direct result of Milacron and CCC's combined hard work and mutual respect for each other's talents and experience."
Dura-Lite® bottles are compatible with multiple neck finishes and have footprints specifically designed to work well in existing dairy, water, and beverage fill lines and downstream supply chains with minimal need for upgrades or capital investment.
To date, CCC has shipped nearly 30 million Dura-Lite® bottles to customers throughout the United States—including for major national beverage manufacturers—and CCC plans to ship over 200 million more bottles by year's end. Throughout 2016, CCC installed Dura-Lite® molds across its national network of manufacturing facilities to support accelerating customer demand for these innovative packages. "The benefits of these designs coupled with the breadth of our national footprint creates a powerful value proposition for our customers, who are looking for innovation, savings, and supply chain security," said Patrick Keese, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CCC's Beverage business. "I continue to be delighted by the consistently positive customer feedback we receive around our Dura-Lite® program."
CCC co-developed the Dura-Lite® family of containers with Milacron's Uniloy® product brand, utilizing Uniloy's® expertise in molds and machining combined with CCC's Studio PKG™ design capabilities and in-depth research with customers and consumers. Due to the nature of the exclusivity agreement between CCC and Milacron, Dura-Lite® containers are available only through CCC.

The new Turntable.FM iPad app and iPhone app has arrived, and is currently available in the iTunes App Store. This is the first foray onto the mobile platform for Turntable.FM, and it's also worth noting that the streaming music experience is now out of its invite only phase and fully open to the public.
The news was tipped earlier that a launch could happen as early as this week, and there was news that the Turntable.FM crew was working on an iOS app earlier this Summer via the Turntable.FM Twitter.
Hypebot is reporting that Turntable.FM has confirmed that they've received $7 million new fresh capital from "First Round Capital, Polaris, Lowercase Capital and Benchmark. In addition, a small group of angels participated including Lady Gaga manager Troy Carter, Facebook's Tim Kendall, Guy Oseary, Vivi Nevo" and others (who shall remain nameless). The news of the investment came about in July with news of Lady Gaga and Kanye West being in on the deal.
There also have been Turntable.FM rumors that it will be part of a Facebook Music launch set for this Fall.

text: Zubie#8 192 Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Although the Devils just endured two crushing defeats they still managed to get 2 points, and a total of 3 points in 3 games after losing Kovalchuk. All easily could have been wins. They have a small cushion on 9th place which can turn into a bigger cushion with a win on Monday. This team is playing ok hockey right now. Its expected, they are a bubble team especially with guys like Kovalchuk and Zubrus injured. The constant rotation of the defensemen does not help either. BUT if this team gets into the playoffs with a healthy roster then anything can happen. I still believe they have another level to their game where they can easily roll 4 strong lines. I look forward to that day, but as of now keep collecting those points. Edited March 31, 2013 by Zubie#8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites


text: radio controlled objects on this program because, well, there are just so many of them. But, every now and again we catch sight of a truly special one, something like this excavator from Modellismo Maximo that's been around for awhile but we thought you'd want to check it out regardless. It's an RC version of the Despe EC280MG, scaled down to 1:14.5 scale and weighing in at an impressive 31.5kg (about 70lbs). It has six axes of movement and is just perfect for loading up the back of your toy trucks -- and then hauling them away, as you can see in a series of videos after the break (each with worse music than the previous). How much to get in on this kind of fun? A mere €4,160 -- $5,630. Nobody said diggin' like this would be cheap.

Friend of mine recommend me if I am Scarborough and wish to try something spicy Malayasian food, the Malaysian, Singaporean & Indonesian Cusiine at 4466 Sheppard Avenue East, Scarborough. The restaurant is about 6000 sf, service is good, renovation is tradition and the waitress are pity knowlegable of what food to suggest to customers. Since I have only 2 people, I have try the Snack Chicken wrapped in paper, Murutabak which is Roti and I pick Beef, then the Penang Char Kwei Teow. Food is above average. Desert wise I have try the Teh Talik which is similar to chinese milk tea. Well I still prepare chinese milk tea better. Last I have the sweet desert namely Nonya Kuih ( 3 pieces) which serve in weekend only. They have other desert during the weekday. Lastly , I also recommend this restaurant to go if you like something spicy Malaysian or Singapore food when you are in Scarborough.Penang Cahr Kwei Teow

The cool thing about Pacific Catch is that while their menu has remained relatively unchanged for the past few years, they also offer daily specials, for those patrons wanting to try something new.
We ordered a few appetizers and decided to share a bottle of white wine. We chose a 2010 Russian River Chardonnay. It was light, sweet and perfect to accompany our fish.
My in-laws both chose the Coconut & Ginger Tom Kha ($7.00) soup for their appetizer. It was a creamy soup with shrimp, mushrooms & tomatoes in a spicy Thai coconut broth. Very aromatic and tasty!
Hubby and I, on the other hand, ordered exactly what we always get, since they are just so good! We chose the Sweet Potato Fries ($6.00) and our son's favorite food, Cabo Calamari ($9.00). The fries are served with two sauces. I prefer the ginger wasabi aoili, but the sweet Thai chili sauce also pairs well with the fries. I love the faux newspaper that they are served on, too!
The calamari is light and crispy, and it is served with a spicy chipotle aoili. In addition to the fresh lemon wedges to season the calamari, there are also deep fried lemon slices thrown onto the plate.
We rounded out our appetizer course with the dish that Pacific Catch does the best. It's my favorite, and I have yet to have a better tuna poke out there. The Hawaiian Poke ($9.50) is made from sushi-grade ahi tuna, seasoned with soy, ginger, sesame and onions, and served in a glass surrounded by crispy wonton chips. Divine!
Keeping along the poke theme, I ordered the dish that keeps me coming back here. I literally crave Pacific Catch's poke, so for my main course I selected one of their Pan-Asian Rice Bowls. My favorite is the Japanese Wasabi with Hawaiian Poke ($15.00) which is just chock-full of fresh ingredients and complimentary flavors. The poke is piled on either white or brown rice and accompanied by shaved nori, fresh wasabi, sliced avocado and a seaweed salad. I get this every time, and it never disappoints. I like it so much that I even try making it at home, but my poke never turns out as well.
We also had a salad, and the salads here are huge! The Sushi Grade Ahi Salad ($13.50) has slices of seared ahi tuna over greens with avocado, cucumber, diakon sprouts and sesame seeds with a soy-wasabi vinaigrette. Hawaiian Poke is also available as a substitute in this salad.
Finally, we rounded off our meal with another Pan-Asian Rice Bowl. Brian is a huge fan of pork, so he opted to try the Korean Barbecue with Sticky Ribs ($16.00). The dish was presented beautifully, but he said that he didn't particularly enjoy the dish. Since Korean ribs are traditionally beef he wanted to give the pork a chance, but he felt it was out of place. The ribs were served with a green onion panchan, seasoned cucumber, shredded omelette, diakon sprouts and nori, and tossed in a sweet Korean barbecue sauce.
My advice is to stick with the fish because that is what Pacific Catch is known for. For first-time visitors, the Poke is a must-try, but you also can't go wrong with any of their grilled fish dishes either. If fried is your thing, they have some great Fish & Chips ($10 for 2 pcs) or a Mixed Catch Basket ($14.50) that includes fish, coconut shrimp and oysters. They also have a full bar and Happy Hour from 4:00 - 6:00 pm Monday-Friday, and from 10:00 pm-closing nightly.

North End 'prowlers' arrested after foot chase
Updated 3:36 pm, Thursday, February 14, 2013
A North End resident flagged down a Beaumont police patrol officer in the Bigner Road area this afternoon to report some men "prowling around" neighborhood homes.
The officers spotted a silver Dodge Ram pickup truck and tried to pull over the driver and occupants. They instead fled, blundering into dead ends at Bigner Road and Roland Street where the pavement runs out and swampland begins.
Police spokesman Sgt. Rob Flores said the four men tried to escape into the thick woods of the area. Two were quickly captured and a third was arrested about 10 minutes later.
Police mounted an intense search for the fourth suspect as a Jefferson County Sheriff's Department helicopter circled overhead at low altitude and a Beaumont police canine unit scoured the immediate neighborhood.
The fourth suspect is still at large.
Police recovered a flat screen television, a laptop computer and some rock cocaine from the abandoned truck. There was a strong odor of smoked marijuana in the truck's interior, Flores said.
Flores said police will check the items found in the truck with any reports of burglaries to determine ownership.

Networking Marketing Tips- What is the big disaster to Avoid?
I really enjoy reading through Tom Schreiter's emails because they are always packed full of network marketing tips! If folks follow his advice and not sit on it, their business will grow.
In a recent mailing, Tom talked about how many new distributors make big, disastrous mistakes and the reasons for it. It's up to us who have been involved in mlm for awhile to guide and teach our new partners their objectives, what to say, and what to do so they won't end up hurting themselves and becoming discouraged.
Tom does a great job sharing how to do this and his new book will certainly help! Make sure you grab it because its so cheap ANYONE can afford it! Make sure you also visit the business resources below including checking out the ebook, "Success in !0 Steps" by Michael Dlouhy, a book Tom recommends. It will save you years of failure and frustration as you look to create additional income from home.
To Your Success
Monique Hawkins
From the desk of Tom Schreiter
As new distributors we shoot ourselves in the foot, turn off our prospects, make people skeptical ... before we even begin to tell them about our wonderful business.
Let me give you some examples. A new distributor will ask something like this,
1. "My opportunity is perfect for anybody. Everyone needs more money. So I am going to stop strangers in the street, and what should I say to them next?"
2. "My diet product is awesome. I will go to the donut shop and find all the fat people who are sitting on two chairs. So should I give them a sample and follow up by telephone?"
3. "Our company has a terrific car program. I want to put a flyer on every junk car window in the parking lot. What should I say on the flyer?"
Are you seeing a trend? Are you starting to cringe? Do you have a feeling something is wrong and you just can't put your finger on it?
I know what is wrong. Why? Because I asked the same questions when I started 40+ years ago. I didn't "get it."
I knew prospects wanted to buy awesome products and change their lives with more money. So that is what I presented. But I forgot one little detail.
If the prospects don't believe us, if the prospects are skeptical, well, nothing we say about our products or company will make a difference.
I never knew about this first step, and I definitely didn't have the skill to execute this first step.
So I am fixing that problem now. I am finished with my new book, "How To Get Instant Trust, Belief, Influence And Rapport! 13 Ways To Create Open Minds By Talking To The Subconscious Mind." Here is a picture of the book:

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – A replica of an 1880s Life Saving Watchman's Tower has been erected on the Buffalo Break Wall.
The tower once served as a lookout point to help guide boats into and out of Buffalo Harbor. Organizer's worked hard to match the original building.
Trustee Kevin McCarthy said, "The design came from our historical photos. We just basically scaled what was out on the site. And were able to determine height and width."
If you'd like to check out the watchman's tower for yourself, it's at the corner of Michigan and South Park Avenues.

I am writing a process that bulk inserts data from a flat file into a new table. To cut a long story short I can't use SSIS/DTS so am writing in code.
I have set it up so that all the source files are in a table and have written dynamic sql to pull out the file details, path, name and table to populate. Then using a While Loop it goes through each file and imports the data into the previously stated table. This is working fine, however I now want to add in code to move onto the next file if a file is missing. What is the best method of doing this?
I originally wrote it as a If Break else continue script, but the second one I used when there are no files left to import fails as it would appear that you can only use this syntax once inside a while loop. I then considered a Raiserror but can't see how I can use that and get it to continue onto the next file.
I'm slightly perplexed any ideas greatfully received.

If a file is missing, how is it in the collection of files to loop around?
answered May 20, 2011 at 02:09 AM
Kev Riley ♦♦
Files will be made available as soon as they become available but the script is due to be run as a scheduled job and for example we may get some files weekly and some monthly and if the scheduled job is run weekly the monthly one may not be available so therefore no processing can take place. Does that make sense?
May 20, 2011 at 02:11 AM Mrs_Fatherjack
so the code runs for every 'possible' file, and you want to skip those that aren't there.....
May 20, 2011 at 02:13 AM Kev Riley ♦♦
That's it.
May 20, 2011 at 02:15 AM Mrs_Fatherjack
2 loops, one outer that controls whether the file is there, and one inner to process (urgh I'm suggesting loops!!!)
May 20, 2011 at 02:16 AM Kev Riley ♦♦
It depends - if it works for you then go for it. T-SQL isn't the best for file control, but that's where you are at, and without SSIS/DTS, you need a solution that works and makes sense.

Melissa Gorga has been plagued by salacious allegations ever since she appeared on Real Housewives of New Jersey. Last year it was stripper accusations, and this year she's been accused of cheating on Poison Gorga with her ex-boyfriend Brian "Bulldog" Bowen.
Just like Joe adamantly defended Melissa against stripper-gate, he is coming to her defense in the rumors that she had an affair.
"I don't even know this guy," Joe insists to Life & Style. "People tried to bring this up two years ago; they tried to put this bulls–t out there. All I have to say is, 'Ha, ha, ha.'"
"There's a lot of lies and a lot of accusations…but I love my wife," Joe shares. "The poor girl keeps getting all this abuse for no reason. They find a good mom with a good image, and it's like, 'How can we take her down?'"

What is Lyme disease?
According to the Center for Disease Control, Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria transmitted to humans by the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and a skin rash. If left untreated, the infection can spread to joints, the heart and the nervous symptom.
How do you get it?
Lyme disease is almost always transmitted to humans by the bite of the blacklegged tick or deer tick in this part of the country, or by the western blacklegged tick on the Pacific coast. Immature nymph ticks are the most common culprits because they are very small (less than 2mm) and difficult to see and they are most active in the spring and summer, when people are outdoors. In most cases the tick must be attached for 36-48 hours before the bacteria are spread.
Can I get Lyme disease in Florida?
Yes. The vast majority of 30,000 cases reported to the CDC each year are in the Northeast and upper Midwest, but cases have been reported in Florida. The CDC says that the lone star tick, which is common in the Southeast, does not carry the Lyme disease bacteria but can transmit other diseases, such as Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness. The CDC says blacklegged ticks, the ones responsible for Lyme disease, do live in the Southeast but their feeding habits make them "much less likely to maintain, sustain and transmit Lyme disease."
But the Florida Lyme Disease Association, which is sponsoring this weekend's Lyme in the South Music Festival, disputes those claims. The association says several strains of Lyme disease can be found in the South and the CDC only tests for one. Also, Southern states don't receive federal funding for Lyme disease tracking, so the numbers reported are lower than they should be.
Is there a cure?
Yes. Patients treated with antibiotics in the early stage of the infection usually recover rapidly and completely, according to the CDC. Most patients treated in later stages of the disease also respond to antibiotics but some experience long-term damage to the nervous system or joints and some experience fatigue, muscle aches and sleep disturbance.
Should I see a doctor if I've been bitten?
You should seek medical attention if, within 3-30 days of the bite, you have a red, expanding rash, fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle or joint aches or swollen lymph nodes.
What should I do if I see a tick on my body?
Remove it immediately using a pair of fine-tipped tweezers. Pull upward with steady, even pressure without twisting or jerking. Avoid breaking off the mouth parts. If this happens, remove them with tweezers. If you cannot, leave the bite alone and allow the skin to heal. The goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible.

Free breakfast but still not worth it!! Aug 27, 2011
This restaurant does the free breakfast for the Best Western hotel and they don't try very hard to impress. I know I was getting a free breakfast but the service was terrible and the food was almost inedible! After I was seated I was ignored for at least 15 minutes. I got up to leave and the hostess noticed, so I was finally given a plate. It is a buffet style breakfast and maybe if I had gotten there earlier the food would have been okay, but when I served myself the eggs were watery and an odd consistency, the pancakes were stone cold and stuck together and the sausage was either overcooked or undercooked. The home fried potatoes were crunchy as well. The only thing th.at was okay was the toast and that's because I toasted it myself. I should have gone elsewhere and just paid.

Good food, average price for area. Yes, there is a lounge, but it's tucked away in the back. If you are more interested in the Lounge, be warned that they don't carry the full restaurant menu.
Breakfast (the Free/Included one from the BW Northwoods Inn) was buffet style, plenty to eat. Full/Normal menu was available, for the normal price. They were very nice, though, and allowed my daughter something off the full kids breakfast without charging us.
Men's room was clean/neat, wife didn't check out the Ladies.

Ulster coach Brian McLaughlin has rested four players for this Friday's RaboDirect PRO12 clash with Glasgow.
The team which will run out at Firhill shows four personnel changes and one positional switch from the starting XV that was defeated 20-9 by Leicester in the Heineken Cup last weekend.
Rory Best and Stephen Ferris have been rested as part of the IRFU's player management programme, so Andi Kyriacou and Robbie Diack are direct replacements at hooker and blindside flanker. Chris Henry is also rested by McLaughlin and is replaced by Willie Faloon in the back row, but the rest of the pack remains unchanged.
In the backs, Craig Gilroy – who like Chris Henry has played in all of Ulster's 10 games so far this season – gets a well earned break from the action. The one positional change sees Simon Danielli move from fullback to his customary wing position in place of Gilroy, while Adam D'Arcy is promoted from the bench to play at the back.
Tim Barker, Mike McComish and Ian Whitten are all named among the replacements.
Both Ulster and Glasgow emerged from the opening rounds of the Heineken Cup with one win and a loss. They will now turn their attentions to the PRO12, where the Scottish outfit currently occupy one of the fourth playoff spot. Ulster sit in 7th position, 5 points adrift of Friday's opponents.
Glasgow's five game winning run in all competitions came to a halt against Leinster in the Heineken Cup on Sunday. The Warriors have won five of their last six matches in the RaboDirect PRO12 tournament, and have been victorious in their last three encounters at Firhill.
The Ulstermen will approach this game with confidence, having won five of their last six matches against Scottish opponents. The two side met in the reverse fixture earlier in the season, with Ulster claiming a 28-14 win at Ravenhill courtesy of tries from Paul Marshall, Darren Cave and Chris Henry.
McLaughlin is wary of how difficult a task his side are facing:
"Whenever you're playing a Scottish side you've got to make your breakdown as accurate and as positive as possible. They'll be all over you like a rash so we've got to make sure that we're clinical in there and that we're producing the ball.
"The other thing is that with Scottish sides buzzing about all over the place, you've got to make sure you keep their forwards all in one place as much as possible. We've talked about varying little things, varying our lineouts and what we're doing off them. Hopefully that will help us as the game progresses."
The defeat at Leicester was one of Ulster's better performances this season to date, but McLaughlin insists there is still plenty to work on:
"Welford Road at the weekend was annoying. We had everything more or less right but we just made little areas at crucial time which cost us. We played through some fantastic phases but made mistakes in crucial areas. If we're going to go on and get to where we want to be as a team then we've got to eradicate those individual errors."
Ulster Match Day Squad to face Glasgow Warriors, Friday 25th November, Firhill Stadium (kick-off 7.35pm)
(15-9): A D'Arcy; A Trimble, D Cave, N Spence, S Danielli; I Humphreys, P Marshall;
(1-8): T Court, A Kyriacou, D Fitzpatrick, J Muller (capt), D Tuohy, R Diack, W Faloon, P Wannenburg;
Replacements (16-23): N Brady, P McAllister, A Macklin, T Barker, M McComish, I Porter, P Jackson, I Whitten
Unavailable due to injury: Jared Payne (achilles), Ruan Pienaar (hamstring), Paddy Wallace (thumb)
Rested due to player management: Stephen Ferris, Rory Best, Chris Henry, Craig Gilroy

Title: Four-Eyed Prince Vol 2
Author: Wataru Mizukami
Publisher: Del Rey
May Contain Spoilers
From the back of the book:
Life isn't fair! Sachiko has a huge crush on her new stepbrother, Akihiko, a cute boy whose glasses make him even hotter, but he shows no interest in her. When she meets a group of hard-core fans of eyeglasses, she learns about the dreamy "Four-Eyed Kiss." Can she convince Akihiko to give her one?
This series is a little infuriating. At first, this volume lulled me into a false sense of security, and I didn't mind the first chapter. Akihiko, while he didn't treat Sachiko like someone he actually likes, wasn't mean to her, either. A group girls with a crush on Akihiko and his glasses use Sachiko to get closer to their idol. Nobody pushes glasses up the bridge of their nose as confidently or stunningly as Akihiko, after all. Sachiko thinks she's made the best friends of her life, but her step-brother sees right through the cunning girls. He even saves Sachiko from the barracudas and doesn't insult her much or berate her for being stupid. No, he saves that for the next chapter.
Four-Eyed Prince has such a huge strike against it that I have a problem struggling through the pages. Akihiko may be cool and good-looking, but he is also a big jerk. He treats Sachiko like crap, and the one or two little kindnesses that he bestows upon her near the end of the chapters just don't make up for how awful he treats her during the rest of the time. The fact that Sachiko keeps chasing after him, despite him telling her, bluntly, that he's not interested, doesn't say much for her intelligence, either. But looking at her mother and her relationship with Akihiko's wayward father, I guess it was inevitable that Sachiko would end up a little confused when it comes to dealing with guys. The fact that Akihiko makes her cry in almost every chapter should also tell her something.
This series is just not my cup of tea. I keep hoping that Sachiko will open her eyes and see that Akihiko is not a nice guy, despite how good she thinks he looks with his glasses on. A scrap of kindness here and there doesn't make for a fulfilling or healthy relationship. Maybe the one who really needs glasses in Four-Eyed Prince isn't Akihiko, but Sachiko.
The bonus short story Snow Has Fallen is also included, about a girl who dreams about being kissed in the snow.

Hillsborough Street continues to undergo changes, from a new streetscape to added bike lanes and now this atrocity. We aren't completely sure what to think about the fact that the modern building that currently houses The Alley has these new classical rails and cornice at the Western end of the building.
There is ongoing construction and it sounds like a restaurant (possibly with the same owner as Melvin's) may replace the Design Gallery Salon and this could be a second floor balcony area. While the hope is that this silly classical rail is temporary, the classical cornice, which is attached and connects two of the modern concrete panels, says otherwise.
Goodnight, Raleigh! has a great history of the building and while we know that Cameron Village is capable of destroying modernism and replacing it with classicism, this is quite outrageous and ridiculous. Surely someone who has any authoriy whatsoever can show the owners that this is hideous, out of place (both architecturally and chronologically) and completely unneccessary. Sure, we'd love a new restaurant or other retail spot to replace the currently empty salon, but show some class, not classicism, in the year 2012, please.
Architecture, Other posts by Jedidiah.
Hillsborough StreetArchitecture
This is a another NR prank right? That's photoshopped yeah?
Rip all of those panels down. Please!
If we were to pause for a minute, one might realize that the "classical" addition to Western Lanes is more than just a stylistic facade treatment, what it really is (and more importantly), is a window. I agree with the author that the contrast between the styles is somewhat unguided, but if you are going to be outraged by architectural malfeasance, then save your steam for something monumental, and take a closer look and consider not what this addition (or subtraction rather) to Western Lanes looks like, but what it does. For the first time in 20+ years, Hillsborough Street is worth looking out onto from an adjacent enterprise. The trend has already started as a result of the Hillsborough Street redesign, the Bazaar-turned-Chipotle on the corner of Chamberlain Street, the bay doors of Five O' Clock Sports Bar and most recently the renovation of Two Guys Pizza. Yes, these enterprises are collegiate at best, but what is more important is the big picture: large public investment is paying off for business owners and locals. The evidence is palpable in the reinvestment on Hillsborough Street. Western Lanes is just another sleeping building, finally cracking an eyelid to the activity below. Buildings should look out onto streets, and people should be able to see inside buildings from those streets. These are simple rules of good urban form that increase social connectivity, as well as business transactions. Raleigh's design issues are not stylistic, they are formal. A banister detail is minuscule compared to the connectivity of pedestrian networks, safe bike routes, transit options, traffic-calming, and places to sit and rest; the list goes on. Yes, design is about small-scale and large-scale, but New Raleigh needs to save the hyperbole, and if there is anything we should embellish it is the success that is happening right under our noses.
^^ Waaaay too long, brah ^^
I'm usually a fan of gutting/remodeling atrocious 20th century modernist buildings, but this is an abortion of architecture and design. Rip the panels off.

Looks like a budget issue to me…they said "we need a railing" and went out and bought one, not even thinking for a moment about the modernist design elements or anything but cost and safety.
I was there last Tuesday to bowl and drink and the hole was there. I ordered my PBR (as a good New Raleigh reader would) and noticed that there was the balmy draft to my left and upon turning my head saw a huge section of the wall missing and just left open to the elements. I asked the bartender what the deal was and they said the Owner did it and they were unsure of his plans. That bar area does need some natural sunlight but yeah that railing is way out of place. It's clearly a work in progress, Here's hoping they kept their receipt.
atrocious. disgraceful. unfortunately, not surprising. why is it that people think they just throw a Hampton Inn cornice on everything and it'll look nice? this is just dumb.
i saw this last week when i passed by and could hardly keep driving straight trying to see what in the world they were doing!
window idea = potentially good.
plan execution = horribly awful.
I was there for my bday a while back (I'm a man! I'm 30!) and a guy working there (in charge?) claimed a balcony was going in over the summer. It's kind of balcony-ish. I'm sure there will be all kinds of shoutrage, but hey, a balcony at an establishment on Hillsborough with reasonably priced beers? Who doesn't like people watching? I'm for it.
Also, windows = welcoming.
Those panels are disgusting and also block the original windows on those buildings. Why are people so obsessed with modernism? Sorry but when modernism looks like that its just plain ugly to look at.
I prefer the railings over those slabs of crappy "modernism" any day. Modernism makes me think of the 50's, 60's, & 70's and in those era's Raleigh was obsessed with actually tearing down amazing buildings like the Old Courthouse and the Raleigh Baptist College. I am not sad to see ugly repressive building and designs fade.
Hahaha. Thats awesome.
This silliness is worth pointing out. Probably not worth reworking it since the building is an eyesore anyway, but it's pretty funny to see.
Sad trombone.
People associate bowling alleys with the 1950's. It would have been easy to remove those panels, or all the panels, and make the building look cool. Windows are great. Balconies are great. Fake Roman columns and fake greco is bullshit. I agree with the commenter who called this an abortion.
Reuniti on ice is nice!
"Those panels are disgusting and also block the original windows on those buildings."
No, they don't. The building was designed to look that way. It was built in 1960 in a modernist style (read the linked goodnight raleigh articles for more). And I think that we can all agree that, love or hate modernism, the juxtaposition of these elements is jarring and simply absurd.
My first reaction was the same as Lloyd's, "That must be photoshopped!"
Anyone call the owner/developer?
I meant my post, not the article. I agree it has some nice ponits, though in some ways the "boringness" of the things has more to do with their dissemination (media, web pages, journals, etc) than the things themselves.

Luna leads Andrews past Borger
Published 6:37 pm, Saturday, November 17, 2012
LUBBOCK - Andrews coach Ralph Mason gave his team a simple message at halftime Saturday afternoon, and that was to come out, make some plays and turn the momentum around.
Mustangs' senior defensive back/wide receiver Austin Luna seemed to take the message to heart, and the rest of his teammates followed.
Luna helped Andrews recover from a late collapse in the first half to return an interception 7 yards for a touchdown and catch a TD pass in the final two quarters to help Andrews to a 49-28 victory against Borger in a Class 3A Division I bi-district game at Jones AT&T Stadium.
"There was a bunch of other big plays from other players on the team, but that helped start it," said Luna, who caught three passes for 53 yards and had two interceptions. "After that it was everybody's turn to make big plays."
Andrews (7-4) will take on No. 2-ranked Abilene Wylie (11-0) at 7:30 p.m. Friday at San Angelo Stadium in a Class 3A Division I regional round game. Borger finishes its season at 2-9.
Prior to Luna's interception return for a touchdown, the Mustangs were struggling to find something positive after a first half where the Bulldogs erased a 13-point deficit with a pair of touchdowns in the final two minutes of the second quarter.
Andrews was up 27-14 late in the half, but Borger quarterback Zac Guinn hit Jared Salinas for a 39-yard touchdown pass at the 2:16 mark. A little over a minute later, Salinas intercepted a Jase Hammack pass and returned it 59 yards to the Andrews 7-yard line with 32 seconds remaining.
The Bulldogs scored three plays later on a 3-yard run by Guinn and were up 28-27 heading into the locker room.
"We were down obviously, and we go into the dressing room and make some adjustments," Mason said after his first football playoff win as a head coach. "But the main thing we got across to them was they have to come out with determination and change the momentum in our favor."
The two teams traded possessions in the third quarter as Borger's ended with a fumble, one of three turnovers in the game for the Bulldogs, while Andrews' ended with a brilliant 39-yard punt by Hammack that put the ball at the Borger 1-yard line.
On third down and the Bulldogs at their own 4, Guinn attempted a pass that Justin Bills tipped and the ball fell into Luna's hands, who returned it 7 yards for the score and a 35-28 Andrews lead with 3:57 remaining in the third quarter. Thanks to the punt and the interception, Andrews seized the momentum and never gave it up the rest of the game.
Luna then put the game out of reach by catching a 17-yard TD pass from Hammack, one of four TD passes for the sophomore on the day, with 9:14 remaining to give Andrews a 42-28 advantage.
Along with the four TD passes, Hammack completed 23 of 36 passes for 371 yards and two interceptions, and running back Jaime Vela rushed for 100 yards on 12 carries. Plus, Andrews' defense shutout the Bulldogs in the second half, holding them to 124 yards in the final two quarters.
"We just have a bunch of resiliency," Luna said. "We came back against (Lubbock) Cooper and last week against Seminole. Coach gets mad that we don't play all the time, but we do whatever we can and we don't like losing."

(en) France, Coordination of Anarchist Groups CGA - IAL #94 - The conspiracy theories: danger and impasse of social criticism (fr) [machine translation]
Date Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:32:25 +0200
Conspiracy theories are back, including the Internet. It should be noted that the sites and videos of conspiracy theories flourish on the Internet and echo. While conspiracy theories have always existed, they have adapted to this new medium and reach a broad population. It is not uncommon to see the hints "conspiracy" of some speech event. Even in Saint-Imier, international meetings anarchists, some people were expressing their willingness to talk about the Bilderberg Group or the Trilateral Commission, as "THE" we need to talk about, surpassing in importance all others. In French rap also, there are full texts incorporating conspiracy theories: for example Rockin 'Squat (Assassin former member of the group) and Keny Arkana, two renowned artistsÂeÂsÂeÂs politicized, which have not hesitate to "denounce" the Illuminati secret group conspiring to dominate the world.
Conspiracy theories are often associated with anti-Semitism, racism and hatred of the other, one can imagine a kind of fantasy that can justify a strong, authoritarian, fascist attack a scapegoat. Historically the success of conspiracy theories have always allowed the expansion of theories of the extreme right, yet those that carry the speech is not always bad faith. That is why we consider it important to respond to propose a political discourse on this subject in order to guard against this reasoning. It requires knowledge and identify what kind of words and then analyze the pitfalls that must not fall.
The problem with these ideas, it is not so much false "truths" they convey that thought patterns and behaviors that result. If you begin to convince a small group of people diaboliques secretly managed to take control of the majority of power to a level barely imaginable, you can go from a revolutionary critique to anti- revolutionary. First, it centralizes our attention to this secret group, and attributed much of the ills of our society's destructive will. This is a critical system (patriarchal, capitalist, ...) becomes scapegoating. For example, the financial crisis of 2008, it is not uncommon to hear that she would be the result of unbridled financialization with some investment banks (including Goldman Sachs) as the Scarecrow . The idea that the capitalist system is operated by a crisis and, more important it is, the more these crises have serious consequences on people, going less well than that is to say, let's deal with the stock market and all will be well! It is clear from this example how conspiracy theories depoliticize the debate: an analysis of a system with its springs, its constraints and consequences are going to the discretion of such person or company and such judge or benevolence its alleged malfeasance. In the debates, this translates into a loss of time and saliva on blogs, it's called troll: make sterile discussion. Go check such information on a person or a business takes time and energy away from the real issue: the critique of the system.
Thus, the critique of conspiracy theories should not be limited to counter methodically the most outlandish theories and show that they are absurd. Must uncover the mechanisms of reflection on which they rely and share to get rid of. These theories may seem attractive to anyone: after all, would there not a global conspiracy of the ruling class against the class of worker  s  honest? We need to find intellectual defense tools that allow you all to quickly identify the value of a theory, discussion, debate and guard against confusion, inaction posed theories the plot.
What are conspiracies
Kind of scientific knowledge does not give immediate response and easy to search for the meaning, it runs through other means. We were formedÂeÂsÂeÂs learned, but this training is not adequate to acquire an ability to sort the distinguishing quality proposals and establishing criteria for both truth and justice.
Conspiracy theories may exist from time immemorial, but are clearly written with the end of the religious hegemony. After 1980, the plots change their appearance, they are reactivated by hybridization with esoteric themes (Satanism, magic, ancient civilization, aliens ...)
The plot mixes original domains such as geography (the hollow earth theory), medicine (vaccines) or more urban myths (September 11, 2001, Area 51, Bermuda Triangle ...) With the Internet, plot mute. It will promote the commoditization and extended their support anonymous enpermettant rumors across the web. The complotisme becomes an opportunity for people to have the impression of being at the initiative of certain arguments.
We can distinguish three elements:
1) The conspiracy as fact (conspiracy, conspiracy or event). In the legal analysis of Canadian law, conspiracy is not recognized as a crime-perfect process that can use a group, but these conspired tions exist in isolation. These conspiracies attack powers of official institutions (such as the CIA or the Trilateral Commission) or hidden (Freemasonry).
2) conspiracy theories (complotisme, large or mega-plot, large or superconspiration). The conspiracy theories like a self-sustaining political vision that all powers, forces are the result of conspiracies. It appears to be objective, not to restore justice, but to denounce the existence of groups, agencies or hidden intentions. Denounces the complotisme but gives no method to fight against the plot, it seems that his revelation is sufficient to remove the balance of power.
3) The theory, suspicion or doubt of the conspiracy (conspiracy systemic) is an explanation that is not necessarily linked to a membership conspiracy theories. It relates to situations scattered plot the long term, having a relationship with a particular power, aiming to expose the infiltration or dropping it (less common). These theories place greater emphasis on the aspect of "hidden" or secret. This award is sometimes given to a group, an agreement or a particular action.
Common targets. First, "Mage", Ventriloquist, and a Jew, Jesuit and Freemason. More modern Bolshevik and Nazi. Contemporary Bildeberg, Illuminati, Alien.
Types. It seems as if fear and mistrust is correlated (without necessarily being involved) to all kinds of conspiracies, those accusing the authorities (type "System") seem rather marked by the "irrationality" (belief in some esoteric phenomena) and those featuring minorities (such as "minorities", eg Jewish or Muslim terrorists). This is not a type of plot that succeeded historically to another, but the types that co-exist today.
We can distinguish three types of plots: those anti-system, those marked by the irrational (often related, it is true for those who believe in the past) and those type "Minorities". Real risks. Some targets, beliefs or have fewer social consequences than others. Accuse God or Extraterrestrials causes relatively little danger to the population, when the prosecution brought against sets of socially recognized (Jews, blacks, women ...) the risk is higher. Somewhere, the absence, blurring, or discretion (Illuminati Bildeberg, Freemasons) that surrounds certain sets reduces the risk, but not eliminate so far: the suspicion related to a misunderstanding of the political support can lead to dangerous groups, as well as the suspicion related to a misunderstanding in the past led to burn-called "witches".
The conspiracy theory is one method to grab inexpensive beliefs of the masses. The problem is not so much conspiracy theory ellemÃme, but lack the means to defend themselves, facilitating alienation, political incentives associated with some of these ideas.
The conspiracy theories and the crisis
The explanation of the economic crisis we are experiencing, as a global conspiracy is increasingly widespread. For a right-wing American and European anti-Semitism historically, this is an opportunity to redeploy a known speech and old. On the far left, the general evolution of social criticism to a critical anti-liberal capitalist provides a fertile ground for the development of conspiracy theories. By placing finance and banking as main enemy, and abandoning the critique of property in favor of a simple critique of speculation it is easy to give the taste of the day the conspiracy theories.
At the extreme right
On the far right, if the theories developed are not always anti-Semitic, they use the same story. Criticism of a "stateless elite", "global" is used to attract the lower classes, while reintroducing the issue of national debate on the crisis. References are sometimes explicit, as in Greece, where Tuesday, Oct. 23 MP Ilias Kasidiaris, spokesman of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn, read aloud an extract of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in the Greek parliament. In France without speaking of anti-Semitism, Marine Le Pen grows in a book published in January 2012 a thesis on the existence of a conspiracy globalist "attacking identities, cultures and nations and an economic crisis that will be a "global oligarchy." Behind a facade of critical economic crisis, which never attacks the productive capitalism, or a property, it is a nationalist discourse, xenophobic and supporter of a strong authoritarian state that is broadcast.
Contamination of the imagery and vocabulary conspiracy among anticapitalist
Far only affect the extreme right, the conspiracy discourse on the crisis often contaminates the speech illiberal and anti-capitalist left. If the ambiguity between some anti-capitalist discourse on the crisis is often not desired, it is very real. Sometimes for convenience, or to make the presentation more meaningful, some anti-capitalist discourse focus, not on a critique of the capitalist system as a political and economic system, but a few multinational or a few families of billionaires. Recovering vocabulary connoted as that of "hyperclass" instead of bourgeoisie or ruling class or focusing only on critical banks with the term "bankster" is a radical critique of abandoned property and a political system but also facilitates the ambiguity desired by some right-wing groups between a speech and a capitalist conspiracy or nationalist discourse. The idea of ââa conspiracy, a conspiracy
often based on an assumption, the authorÂeÂs conspiracy, the conspiracy would have total control of the situation. All cards are mastered.ÂeÂs some conspiracy grow through this logic and believe that the economic crisis protest movements are, too, part of the plot and are therefore handled. Since the control is total, the challenge is itself a manipulation, there would be no interest in participating in a protest movement like Occupy Wall Street, presented by some conspiracyÂeÂs as a manipulation of Georges Sorros. In this situation the followers of conspiracy theories is limited only to then expose a supposed hidden truth of a global conspiracy without offering perspectives, thus favoring the status quo face a crisis and a real danger.
One of the mistakes of conspiracy theories is to consider the ruling classes or parts of them as infallible, and thus forget that, like any social group, they are subject to internal contradictions. But we get very good at designing these contradictions within our own group, and this observation is one of the foundations of our thinking \ why class consciousness is too low? why some workersÂeÂsÂeÂs support pro-business party? etc.. As we suffer from internal divisions, the ruling classes are not spared, and fortunately! The pretext of the economic crisis is now used to implement a policy of social destruction. It does so much for the crisis a conspiracy. The crisis is a fault of capitalism that capitalists themselves  themselves can use or not in their favor, but to which we must respond. The last few years and said predictions of economists we have shown that far from being infallible, most capitalists have foundÂeÂs in a situation he or she  s  could not pants. The existence of these faults shows that if the capitalist system is a formidable opponent, he is not infallible, he can not control everything and can be exceeded.

It's amazing how much difference a mound makes. That's all they really are right now, mounds. But they're sure a lot better than what I used to have.
When I had my mastectomy my surgeon left as much extra skin as he could, knowing it would help with reconstruction later. And it did help, but I ended up having reconstruction a lot later than I had hoped. An entire year later.
So I haven't just been flat-chested this whole time, I've had ugly skin folds on top of it. To make matters worse, over time the skin folds started rubbing and becoming irritated so I've had to put diaper cream in the folds for the past couple of months. Ridiculous! It looked horrible.
Before my surgery Dr. Gummy had me put on a tube top that I'm supposed to wear as I heal to protect my incisions and bandages. I put it on and looked down at my flat chest and lumpy folds under the stretchy fabric. This is what I've been dealing with for a year and a half. Until now.
I've got A-sized mounds and it's amazing what a difference that makes. Now I look down at my tube top and I think my little foobies look so cute and feminine and – dare I say? – even a little sexy! Yeah okay, the drains and the greasy hair from not being allowed to shower yet kinda ruins the sexiness but you get what I mean. I feel girly again! And for whatever reason it's so much different than wearing a prosthesis. Maybe because even with my prosthesis I always knew the ugly skin folds (and diaper cream – ugh) were under there. But now those folds are gone and I've got humble little mounds in their place. I love them already and we're not even done. Yay foobies!

The battery life on the Pulse Mini is alright - the battery is a little tiny, but we expected that in a phone this size. However, we found the reason it lasted so long was that we didn't want to play with the phone, which obviously saves power.
The little things like taking an age to come out of sleep, erratic operation or poor internet mean we kept choosing not to use the phone rather than idling hours away playing pointless games or looking at nothing sites on the internet.
However, if you're really up for trying out all the functions on the Pulse Mini, then you'll probably manage to get well over a day's usage out of this bad boy - but most of the time you'll manage two or more days' juice.
The usual suspects are all here on this Android-powered phone: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, 3.5mm headphone socket, HSPDA connectivity - in short, all you really need.
The Wi-Fi is pretty good - it disconnects every time you put the phone to sleep, and will tell you so when you open it back up again, but will re-connect almost instantly each time.
The data side of things gets annoying, as the APN (the connection settings for 3G data) can't seem to lock on; the Pulse Mini keeps telling you something is wrong and that the settings have changed.
GPS is fast enough to connect though as we mentioned - the Navigation feature of Google Maps works well enough, and that's the hardest application on the GPS chip.

FIGHTING postman Kevin McIntyre is set for a red letter day after landing a place on Sky's Prizefighter show next month.
Prize money of £32,000 for nine rounds of boxing offers the welterweight a bigger pay day than he was on when he fought for the British title.
And McIntyre is hoping TV exposure will also bring him back to the attention of those who thought he'd actually quit the ring.
The last time the 33-year-old was on active duty he beat Steven Haughin to win the Celtic title in Belfast 12 months ago.
And the Paisley fighter said: "That's so far in the past I was asked recently why I'd retired from the ring.
"Now I've got access to big money for one night's work and the chance to advertise myself for title fights.
"The opportunity come right out of the blue and I have to thank Tommy Gilmour for helping me to be part of the bill at Bethnal Green in London on June 7.
"He put in a good word for me with the promoters, Matchroom, and he doesn't even act as my manager."
Gilmour believes McIntyre has a genuine chance to claim the top prize in spite of being in with the likes of Junior Whitter and Colin Lynes.
He said: "Kevin needs a favourable first-round draw but I honestly believe he can win it."
