grammielil4 I bought a new 2013 jeep compass 6 weeks ago in Warren, PA. When driving over 30 mpg, it sounds as if the driver's window is slightly down (a very annoying sound). I thought window was down and hit the power button up. I even stopped twice to re-shut the door, thinking it must be open..I've had it in shop three times and was actually told by serviceman "I know it's loud and aggravating, but even though your car is noisier than our others. All Jeep Compasses make this sound. Just not well put together"! I have contacted Jeep, still awaiting answer..I will never buy Jeep again.

Holiday lets in Aberdaron, Gwynedd, Wales
Aberdaron is a quaint and picturesque coastal village on the very western part of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, northern west Wales. Sometimes referred to as the 'Land's End of Wales' by locals and tourists alike, this pretty part of the country is home to only just over one thousand residents, making it a lovely place in which to visit if you are looking for peace and tranquillity on your holiday. The Aberdaron beach and village has been given awards and it is a great place to come for a self-catering break, with lots to do from cycling, bird watching and sea kayaking to visiting places of cultural and historical interest.
Facts about what Aberdaron offers for Cottage Breaks
Less than two miles off the coast of Aberdaron, which was designated a Heritage Coast in 1974, lies Bardsey Island, the inhabitants of which are included in the community of Aberdaron. Aberdaron was once the last resting stop for pilgrims on their way to Bardsey, which is home to many sites of archaeological and historical interest such as the ruins of St Mary's Abbey. Today, the island is wonderful for its abundance in wildlife, and there is a bird observatory on the island due to its fantastic position on several bird migration routes, and grey seals and dolphins can also be spotted from the island. Whilst on a cottage holiday, taking a day trip to Bardsey from Aberdaron is a must if you have an interest in wildlife and is an enjoyable day out for the whole family.
The beach at Aberdaron is home to secluded coves and golden sands and surfing, sailing and diving beneath the waters are all very popular. Sunbathing is also a popular activity here, which comes as no surprise, and there are also a couple of other beaches nearby if you want to explore further afield, such as Porthor and Porth Ysgo.
If you want to eat out whilst on your cottage break, there are plenty of cafes, pubs and restaurants to eat at in Aberdaron. One of which is the Whistling Sands Café on Porthor Beach which serves hot food such as pizzas and fish and chips, and you can enjoy the food on their terrace overlooking the sands. The café also has an adjacent shop which sells inflatable rubber rings and buckets and spades for the children. The Y Gegin Fawr Café is another great one to visit, and is steeped in history as it used to be a communal kitchen where pilgrims could get a meal on the way to Bardsey Island in the 13th century. Today, the café is known for its delicious scones and cakes, and its dog-friendly terrace is set in a stunning area overlooking the river. Aberdaron is also home to a bakery, local grocery stores and a boat chartering service.
Aberdaron is an idyllic spot in Gwynedd for a coastal self-catering getaway with plenty of beautiful white washed holiday cottages to choose from. Whether you need to find somewhere pet-friendly or child-friendly, we trust that you'll have a great time in this part of Wales and hope you find a great place to stay.

For some reason the image link got censored.. here it is uploaded to the forums instead
Thanks again
She needs to see a vet.
That looks rather nasty! Since it is red, it could mean there is infection, so nothing to take lightly (not saying you are!). It could have originated from a wound, or could be an allergic reaction to something, or other reason(s); best to have kitty checked out by a vet right away before it gets any worse.
I'm gonna take her (apparently a him!? Neighbour said it is a boy.. my whole life has been a lie) to the vet today. Hopefully it won't cost much as I'm a student with barely any cash as it is.
Thanks for your input guys.
So far as I can tell from the photo it looks rather like an abcess which are easy and cheap to treat with antibiotics. However a photo isn't the same as seeing the cat, plus I'm not a vet. The vet can tell you what sex your cat is as well, and if your cat isn't neutered yet talk to the vet about that as well.
Tell the vet that you're a student, short on money, and the cat is a rescue. It may not change anything, but it might.

First, it's not a "train wreck," no matter how often Republicans repeat the phrase.
First, it's not a "train wreck," no matter how often Republicans repeat the phrase.
"Obamacare" is still on track, if not exactly barreling along ahead of schedule.
The screams you hear aren't from train wreck victims. They come from the same old critics who have been predicting disaster for years, louder now that the Affordable Care Act is finally kicking in.
The Obama administration gave them something extra to shout about by bungling the launch of the federal websites. People have had a hard time creating accounts and there are dire warnings — shouted louder by the same old critics — of deadly problems deep in the software.
But really, can we put this in perspective?
There are many health exchange websites, and some are doing just fine. In states where governors accepted the opportunity to set up their own exchange, there have been fewer problems. But most Republican governors refused to go along, relying on the federal website — healthcare.gov — which has been swamped.
Several bad decisions were made by the administration. They should have had a tech company oversee the multiple contractors working on the site instead of managing the project through Health and Human Services. They should have made it easier for would-be customers to get a quick look at the available plans instead of requiring them to fill out an application first to see what subsidies they qualify for. The feds didn't want people to experience sticker shock before seeing the subsidies, but they got the process backwards.
I've visited the state exchange in Massachusetts: ma.healthconnector.org. Fill in your Zip code, birth date and whether you're a smoker, and it will show you the available plans — with a reminder that you may be eligible for a discount. The site offered me a choice of 80 plans from familiar companies: Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Fallon, Tufts, Harvard-Pilgrim and more.
Insurance is complicated, as I'm reminded every time the human resources office sends me an open enrollment package. But the website makes it a little simpler. If Massachusetts and other states can make it work, so can the feds.
More perspective: 85 percent of Americans will continue getting their insurance through their employer or some other private or government program. They don't need Obamacare and won't participate in it.
The administration hopes to get 7 million signed up for insurance through the exchanges by the end of March, a deadline it will surely extend if the site isn't fixed. It's important that enough young and healthy people sign up, because if they don't, insurance companies won't make as much money as they anticipated, and they will set higher rates next time around for policies sold on the exchange.
There were predictions the rates on the exchanges would be outrageously high the first year, but the bids came in 16 percent lower than projected, though the levels vary by state. It will be a year before we know what the 2015 rates will be, so do we really have to be pulling our hair out over it now?
There are 316 million people living in the United States. That means at least 300 million don't need to worry about suffering the torture of having to buy health insurance through a government website. Maybe all those people who aren't riding the train should stop worrying about a train wreck.
The same old critics are also complaining about policies being changed or canceled and premiums going up. "But Obama promised if we liked our insurance policies and our physicians we could keep them," they cry. Nothing would ever change.
Point taken. Obama oversimplified, especially in campaign speeches. Anyone surprised by that?
But did people really believe that nothing would change? Employers change insurance policies all the time. Deductibles change, premiums are adjusted. Physicians change insurance networks. They retire.
I can understand people being confused, especially considering the misinformation being spread about this program for political purposes. But I knew there was nothing in the ACA that would restrict employers' ability to change insurers, or insurers' right to increase premiums. And I knew that the law, like Romneycare, established minimum coverage standards, which meant some cut-rate insurance policies wouldn't make the grade.
So why the mock outrage among the conservative mouthpieces in Congress and the media? Didn't they bother to read the bill?
Obama came to Faneuil Hall this week to remind people that Obamacare, like Romneycare, can work. Here, a Republican governor and a Democratic legislature worked together to fashion the law and get it through the sometimes rocky path to implementation.
In Massachusetts, they were paying more attention to the World Series than to a presidential visit, but we didn't really need those reassurances. We already have near-universal health care coverage, and no trains were wrecked in the process.
The biggest problem for Obama in taking health care reform national are his political opponents lining the tracks, doing everything they can to derail it.

White Wicker Wonderful
I bought this White Wicker stand to hold flowers at my Daughters Christening. It has held flower arrangements at every Major and Minor party or event we have Celebrated for going on almost the past 20 years. Right now it is on display in my Dining room with an assortment of shells from the BEACH
that we seem to be adding to daily.When I walk into the Dining Room it always makes me smile to think of the memories that are attached to this stand. Such Joy.Definitely worth the $40 dollars I spent for it.I remember it seemed like alot of money at the time. Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter as well as Fourth of July (you get the idea) would not be the same without the White Wicker stand overflowing with flowers or shells.
I Hope you have a great weekend

Man Up: Reimagining Modern Manhood
A powerful coming-of-age memoir that reimagines masculinity for the twenty-first-century male.
Award-winning poet, actor, and writer Carlos Andrés Gómez is a supremely gifted storyteller with a captivating voice whose power resonates equally on the live stage and on the page. In one of his most powerful spoken-word poems, Gómez recounts a confrontation he once had after accidentally bumping into another man at a nightclub. Just as they were about to fight, Gómez's eyes inexplicably welled up with tears. Everyone at the scene jumped back, as if showing vulnerability was the craziest thing that Gómez could possibly have done.
Like many men in our society, Gómez grew up believing that he should be ready to fight at all times, treat women as objects, and close off his emotional self. It wasn't until he discovered acting that he began to realize the true cost of squelching one's emotions—and how aggression dominates everything that young males are taught.
Plummeting graduation and employment rates and dire teen suicide statistics show that young males in our society are at a crisis point. Gómez seeks to reverse these alarming trends by sharing lessons about life, love, and vulnerability. Man Up galvanizes men—but also mothers, girlfriends, wives, and sisters—to rethink the way all men interact with women, deal with violence, handle fear, and express emotion.
Gómez urges men of all ages to break society's rules of male conformity and reconsider not just what it means to be a man, but what it means to be a good man.
"Man Up" is available now through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, Indiebound, Penguin Random House and iTunes!
To book Carlos for a talk related to his memoir, please contact the Penguin Random House Speakers Bureau: firstname.lastname@example.com 212-572-2013 |

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
In its June 2013 decision Mutual Pharmaceutical Co. v. Bartlett, the Supreme Court forcefully repeated what it said in 2011: federal law bars States from imposing tort liability on the manufacturer of a generic drug for providing allegedly inadequate warnings regarding health risks associated with use of the drug. The federal government—which embraces the tort bar's mantra that every injured consumer ought to have a sporting chance of recovering damages from at least one deep-pocketed defendant—immediately responded by announcing plans to propose new regulations designed to overrule Bartlett. The details of the new regulations have not yet been disclosed. It is nonetheless highly unlikely that such regulations could survive a court challenge. The Hatch-Waxman Act, adopted by Congress in 1984, simply does not authorize the Food and Drug Administration to adopt the sort of regulations that it apparently has in mind.
Bartlett determined that federal law preempts the state-law failure-to-warn cause of action at issue in the case because the latter conflicts with federal law: it would be impossible for the generic manufacturer (Mutual Pharmaceutical Co.) to comply with the labeling requirements imposed on it by state law while also complying with federal law. The plaintiff was a New Hampshire resident who developed toxic epidermal necrosis, which caused much of her skin to burn off, after taking generic sulindac manufactured by Mutual. A jury awarded her $21 million in damages because, it determined, sulindac was defectively designed in light of Mutual's failure to provide adequate warnings regarding the drug's side effects.
The problem with the plaintiff's theory was that the sulindac labeling was mandated by FDA. Had Mutual altered its labeling to supply the additional warnings required by New Hampshire tort law, it would have violated federal law, which requires a generic drug to bear the same labeling as its brand-name counterpart. The Supreme Court determined that the New Hampshire tort action was preempted because it was impossible for Mutual to comply with both laws. While Mutual could have asked FDA for permission to strengthen the warnings on its label, its inability to act unilaterally in adopting labeling changes means that Mutual lacked the power to comply on its own with New Hampshire law.
The Court rejected the plaintiff's argument that Mutual could have complied with both federal and state law by withdrawing sulindac from the market. It noted that allowing plaintiffs to avoid preemption with a stop-selling argument would essentially overrule all of the Court's impossibility preemption decisions.

Bauman: Alomar, Blyleven belong in Hall
Voters for enshrinement in Cooperstown remain tough
By /
But this election will also be notable for the candidates who were very close but not quite there. Alomar had 73.7 percent of the votes. Bert Blyleven was even closer at 74.2 percent. Blyleven should have been in the Hall years ago, and Alomar should have been in immediately.
Alomar and Blyleven got my vote (as did Dawson and Lee Smith.) Alomar was simply the best player on the ballot. That's obviously a subjective judgment, but it's also a widely held view. He was an incomparable second baseman, a position that had historically been considered defense-first, and he was a considerable offensive presence, with speed and extra-base power. His 10 Gold Gloves and 12 straight All-Star Game selections indicate his dominance at his position.
Both Alomar and Blyleven can take heart from the history of the balloting: Anybody who gets as close to election as they did eventually gets elected. But that's not the issue directly in front of us.
Alomar's abilities and achievements say that he should be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But he isn't. What kept him out, at least on the first try?
Player | Total Votes | Percentage |
Andre Dawson | 420 | 77.9% |
Bert Blyleven | 400 | 74.2% |
Roberto Alomar | 397 | 73.7% |
Jack Morris | 282 | 52.3% |
Barry Larkin | 278 | 51.6% |
Lee Smith | 255 | 47.3% |
Edgar Martinez | 195 | 36.2% |
Tim Raines | 164 | 30.4% |
Mark McGwire | 128 | 23.7% |
Alan Trammell | 121 | 22.4% |
Fred McGriff | 116 | 21.5% |
Don Mattingly | 87 | 16.1% |
Dave Parker | 82 | 15.2% |
Dale Murphy | 63 | 11.7% |
Harold Baines | 33 | 6.1% |
Andres Galarraga | 22 | 4.1% |
Robin Ventura | 7 | 1.3% |
Ellis Burks | 2 | 0.4% |
Eric Karros | 2 | 0.4% |
Kevin Appier | 1 | 0.2% |
Pat Hentgen | 1 | 0.2% |
David Segui | 1 | 0.2% |
Mike Jackson | 0 | 0% |
Ray Lankford | 0 | 0% |
Shane Reynolds | 0 | 0% |
Todd Zeile | 0 | 0% |
Perhaps it was the incident with umpire John Hirschbeck in 1996, in which the two exchanged insults. Hirschbeck's insult was verbal, but Alomar's took the form of precipitation, spitting on the umpire. That was bad. That was wrong. There can be no argument about this. But, there are people in the Hall of Fame who did so much worse. The name Ty Cobb comes immediately to mind.
Perhaps Alomar was punished by some voters for this offense. Perhaps the punishment carries only a one-year sentence. For the moment, Alomar will have to live with the designation of being the man who received the highest percentage of votes in his first year on the ballot without being elected. That's interesting, but it's nothing like actually getting to Cooperstown.
Blyleven is a man whose patience has been fully and repeatedly tested by this group of voters. This is his 13th season on the Hall of Fame ballot. His support has been climbing steadily to the point where it is now at the very brink of election. He needs only a handful more votes, but he needs that handful soon. He has only two more years on the writers ballot, and then he would go to consideration by the Veterans Committee, which tends to elect no one.
Blyleven should have been in long ago. He has truly impressive career numbers, including an ultimate measurement of effectiveness, being fifth all-time in strikeouts. He had one of the best curveballs in the history of the game. He won 287 games instead of 300, but he spent considerable time pitching for inadequate teams.
But at least Dawson finally will reach Cooperstown. The Hawk was a tremendous all-around player, with splendid defensive skills in the outfield (eight Gold Gloves), power and speed. The speed diminished as his knees got worse -- artificial surface, what a killer concept. But Dawson persevered, as a man with his character would.
Those against his selection argued that his on-base percentage was too low for a Hall of Famer. That was nice and arbitrary. The people who saw him play understood his greatness. After nine years on the Hall of Fame ballot, that was enough. The right thing was finally done.
This is Dawson's year to enter the Hall of Fame. Next year should be the year for Alomar and Blyleven. But the fact that Blyleven has had to wait this long and that Alomar could not become a first-ballot winner indicates once again how difficult it is to get elected in the first place.
If the BBWAA electorate is going to err, it should err on the side of exclusion, not inclusion. This is obviously frustrating for Hall of Fame candidates, as well as fans with favorite candidates. Every year there is considerable gnashing of teeth when the Hall election results are announced and worthy candidates are again denied entry. But that beats a parade of marginal talents marching into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

WEST SISTER ISLAND, Ohio - A 25-year-old Toledo man is feared to have drowned in Lake Erie on Saturday during a fishing trip with two other Toledo men.
A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter and two boats - carrrying a total of 11 coast guard crewmen - searched for Scott O'Dell for more than 13 hours in the waters near West Sister Island, which is about 12 miles north of the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant. The search was called off about 9 a.m. yesterday.
Authorities, who were notified of the apparent drowning almost two hours after it occurred - apparently because the men did not have a mobile phone or a radio on their boat and traveled about 20 miles back to their marina to call for help - took down two versions of what happened.
Donald Bork, 63, said the three men were fishing about 500 yards off West Sister Island when the wake of a boat caused Mr. O'Dell to fall in the water. Mr. Bork said he and Jack Snyder, 36, jumped into the water, but they were unable to find Mr. O'Dell.
Mr. Snyder, however, according to reports, said that Mr. O'Dell had jumped into the water to swim while the men were fishing. When they realized they had not seen him in a while, they jumped into the water to look for him, but were unsuccessful, according to reports.
The men, including Mr. O'Dell, were thought by authorities to have been intoxicated when Mr. O'Dell entered the water, according to reports received by Scott Giard, controller for the U.S. Coast Guard station in Detroit. It was unclear from reports how long the men looked for Mr. O'Dell before returning to their marina to call for help.

"Mommy, look! I caught it! I got the ball!!"
"Good job, honey."
Love it! He actually looks like he's gonig to try to put the ball in his mouth :)
Poor Casey just gets no love! (sadly, he won't get much from me either…I do promise you all he really can hit! I swear he can hit! You'll like him then, right?)
ReplyI'm a weirdo when it comes to my reasons for loving a player.
Amazing: Baby, Chipper. Love Baby, no love for Chipper.
Not amazing: Pete Orr, Kotchman. Love Pete Orr, don't love Kotchman.
I can't explain why, but I've never latched on to Casey. Maybe something will change my mind one day. :/
ReplyI could have really, really loved Teix if I expected him to be around for a while, but I knew the Braves simply couldn't afford him. So, I enjoyed his prettiness while he was here, but he's not one I'm following after he left us.
My word verification is "amess". Heh.
ReplyI'm with you on Teix Lauren…so pretty to look at but you know you can't get to attached becasue he doesn't view baseball the way normal people do, and there is no way on earth I could follow him as a yankee (but lord is he pretty!)
ReplyYou lknow what- I have another posting proposition for you- when you feel the need to post anyting about Casey, just include a pic of Teix in a braves uni instead…Casey gets some love and we get to look at something nice :)
ReplyI find myself more on his side…don't know if its b/c we got to hear a little about the off field things he was was dealing with last year or b/c I'm a sucker for an underdog – and that's how I see him with the way he's talked about everywhere. Even I've 'forgotten' about the good hits/plays he's had when it comes to the more clutch times. Seems to have a more reserved personality too which doesn't help get to know him very easily…maybe he'll take some lessons from KJ.
ReplyI'm like moatsak, I usually like the underdog more than the most liked. I've always been that way with most things that I've liked throughout the years. I think Casey stuck out to me because he is reserved and mostly because people would rather see him out of at Atlanta because "he's not Teixeira" or "isn't half as good as Teixeira". I always like to see the underdogs get some love.
I think that's why I took a liking to KJ in the first place and like him as much as I do now. Both Casey and KJ deserve more credit than they get from most fans for their efforts and play. You tend to hear a lot of fans hating on them when they do screw up more so than you hear fans praising them when they win the game/contribute in a big way to help the team. It seems their faults tend to overshadow their successes for some reason. But "it's fine, we'll let it slide" when Chipper, Mac, or Escobar make errors/mistakes. Not hating on those guys, I'm just saying.
ReplyI hope it doesn't seem like I don't like Casey (it kinda does, huh?) I actually like him quite a bit…enjoyed watching him as an Angel and was glad the Braves could get someone like him when they traded Teix…I tease because he's just not as much fun to look at :D
Reply"I enjoy tryin' to make those guys look as good as I can."

Thats similar to the deck i hope to be making soon:
Rubie 3
Elliott 2
Zatman 3
Dorian 5
Samantha 2
Frankie Hi 3
GraksmxxT 4
Uranus 3
Thanks Isaiah i will try it
The problem with those unevolved cards is that they evolve after a few games (the low star cards usually upgrade after a few won games) and you have to either buy new ones or change the deck.
Look at the prices of Nanook, Caciope and other low star high power cards at the market.
Since I started playing ELO their price have been steadily going up. No player without a strong cash backup can afford them (i can but i don't want to pay such high prices).
So I like to play with a fully evolved deck. It also saves me the trouble of having to change the deck constantly.
The decks I usually use are ulu - Uppers and junta - Roots, depending on the decks i play against and the mood i am in.
I also played with Montana - Nightmare. That really is a fun deck and you can surprise other players with it. Because let's face it, the top ELO players are more or less using the same decks. So sometimes it is refreshing to play against an other deck.

Hi There!
Sarah from Fairytales are true here filling in for Jillian while she's becoming a Mrs. and globetrotting.
When I heard Jillian was going to Paris & Prague on her honeymoon, I was so excited!
I love Paris, but wanna know a secret? I love Prague even more.
Something about the pretty pastel buildings, an enormous castle on a hill with guards, fireworks in the evening, pubs Einstein used to freqeuent, incredibly beautiful squares... well, add it all up and you've got LOVE for me.
Here are a few suggestions for the new Mr. & Mrs. in Prague:
#1. Old Town (Stare Mesto):
Grab lunch or a coffee or a pint and set up shop to people watch. This town square might be my favorite in Europe. Don't forget to watch the clock too!
#2. The Castle District is something else! I loved wandering around here.
#3. While you're up there... Go to the Castle. It is something else! and watch the changing of the guards.
#4. Walk across the Chapel Bridge. Buy some art work. Eat at one of the cafe's under the bridge
#4. go to cafe louvre for lunch or an afternoon snack. Einstein and Kafka frequented this cafe!
i love the cafe culture in Prague.
#6. take lots of walks!

text: I've just purchased an AirStash. This means that the WiFi connection of my Ipad (3) is only accessing the local airstash fileserver. I usually BT tether my iPad to my iPhone when I'm out. However, it seems that as soon as the iPad is connected to a Wifi, it wants to use this connection rather than the BT link for internet access. The icon next to iPad in the top row changes from the wifi symbol to the OO linked icon when I connect to BT, but I loose my internet connection. I'm there for assuming that the iPad is trying to get online via WiFi, not BT. Is this likely? If so can I encourage the iPad to get internet access via the BT tether? thanks

Now Patricia O'Gorman, Ph.D., and Phil Diaz, M.S.W., authors of the classic book" The 12 Steps to Self-Parenting for Adult Children" and its companion workbook, " "expand the reach of that successful healing paradigm to anyone who has suffered from any kind of trauma. Whether they grew up in a dysfunctional home, were victims of violence, or suffered other types of acute distress, many people struggle to determine the impact of earlier trauma on current adult decision making. O'Gorman and Diaz show how trauma is a driver of dysfunctional behaviors and linked with codependency, and they offer a concise yet detailed resource for survivors and thrivers as well as the professionals who work with them.

Kabul, Afghanistan - Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Sunday ordered U.S. special forces troops to cease operations in a strategic eastern province, accusing the Americans and Afghans working for them of torturing and abducting civilians.
Karzai's office charged that a university student who was detained during a U.S. operation in Wardak province, southwest of Kabul, was later found with his head and fingers cut off. In another case, U.S. forces are accused of detaining nine villagers who are still missing.
Karzai gave no additional details and did not specify the identities of the Afghans working alongside the U.S. forces. The Wardak provincial chief of police told the Los Angeles Times/Tribune Washington Bureau that he had recently assigned officers to investigate the claims but had seen nothing that supported them. "I don't have any evidence in hand in regard to this issue," said the chief, Sardar Mohammad Zazai.
The lack of specifics added to the confusion surrounding the accusations, which blindsided U.S. officials in Kabul. State Department and military officials were not briefed about the decision before Karzai's chief spokesman announced it at a news conference Sunday evening.
"We take all allegations of misconduct seriously and go to great lengths to determine the facts surrounding them," the U.S. military in Kabul said in a statement. "This is an important issue that we intend to discuss fully with our Afghan counterparts."
It was the latest example of strained relations between the United States and Karzai's government, and the latest dispute to damage U.S. efforts to achieve a smooth withdrawal of most of the remaining 66,000 American troops in Afghanistan by the end of next year. The Obama administration has long viewed Karzai as an undesirable partner, and has complained repeatedly about widespread allegations of corruption involving those close to the Afghan leader.
A long, candid meeting between President Barack Obama and Karzai at the White House in January seemed to put the relationship on fresh footing, but it has stumbled again in recent weeks as Karzai has renewed complaints about the way the U.S.-led coalition is prosecuting the war.
Two weeks ago, a U.S.-led coalition airstrike reportedly killed 10 Afghan civilians in addition to four Taliban commanders, prompting Karzai to ban Afghan forces from requesting coalition airstrikes in residential areas.
The counterinsurgency efforts of U.S. special forces have been a frequent target of scorn from Karzai, who says they provoke instability. U.S. special forces, along with Afghan soldiers and allied militias, routinely carry out nighttime raids on suspected insurgent hideouts, often in towns and villages.
Karzai's directive could be a blow to U.S. efforts to bring most American soldiers home while leaving a smaller force in Afghanistan after 2014. It would focus on mentoring Afghans in the field and continuing counterterrorism operations against the remnants of al-Qaida. Both missions would lean heavily on special forces troops.
In meetings last week, NATO defense ministers discussed plans for a post-2014 force of 8,000 to 12,000 troops - mostly Americans, a large proportion of whom would probably be special forces.
About 4,500 U.S. special forces personnel are involved in training the Afghan Local Police, a rural paramilitary force that Pentagon officials say will serve as Afghanistan's main line of defense against the Taliban in areas outside the reach of regular Afghan army and police units.
The Afghan Local Police have been implicated in human rights abuses and criminal activity, but they aren't the force being accused of violations in Wardak. Aimal Faizi, Karzai's spokesman, described the Afghans only as "some armed groups that are established and controlled by the foreign troops in Afghanistan."
Wardak, a turbulent province considered a key gateway to Kabul, has become a hotbed of insurgent activity in recent years and is a key focus of U.S. security efforts. It has been among the most heavily contested provinces in Afghanistan, with both the Taliban and another insurgent group, the Haqqani network, using it as a base from which to stage attacks on coalition forces.
In 2011, the Taliban shot down a U.S. Army Chinook helicopter over the province, killing 38 U.S. and Afghan troops, including 17 Navy SEALs. Weeks later, a suicide blast outside a U.S. outpost killed four Afghans and injured dozens of others, including 77 Americans soldiers.
Following a meeting of his national security council earlier Sunday at which Wardak's governor raised the allegations, Karzai ordered an immediate halt to U.S. special forces operations in the province and said the soldiers would be expelled within two weeks. Due to the secrecy surrounding their operations, it wasn't immediately clear whether any special forces are based in Wardak or if they travel into the province for missions.
"There are some groups of American special forces - and Afghans considered to be part of the American special forces - who are conducting raids, searching houses, harassing and torturing people, and even murdering our innocent people," Faizi said.
Earlier Sunday, Afghan security forces foiled an apparent suicide bomber in central Kabul, but attackers struck police and intelligence offices in two other eastern cities, killing three people, officials said.
Officers with the National Directorate of Security shot and killed a man who was driving a sport-utility vehicle packed with explosives near the intelligence agency's headquarters in Kabul. No one else was hurt, officials said.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for two earlier attacks on security targets: a car bombing at an NDS compound in Jalalabad that killed two guards and a bombing at a police compound in Logar province, which left a police officer dead.

Having multiple hiding places, numerous ways to get them within the same setting, more than one way to activate a display (Auto and manually)all go to make it more easily changable and fun for everyone.
It really doesn't cost much to make such features happen, more thinking than money on these.
Many things remain the same here for many years , then someone returns with a friend who has never been here before and something happens that the veteran had never had happen before and they are the one screaming, jerking ,jumping because of it! How Funny!
When they think they know what's going to happen, because their own previous experience here has shown them (if you can't believe your own eyes and memory what can you believe?
This is when you have the perfect set up, they have basically fooled, misinformed themselves.

Editor's note: Hesperia marathon runner Vanessa Kline is providing training tips for novices who may want to run in the High Desert Half Marathon at Victor Valley College in October. This is the continuation of the series.
This week we discuss how to start training, remembering that we don't go directly from point A to Z.
Taking training slowly and building a good base is extremely important. Rushing training only leads to injury or burnout, which is worse in my opinion.
Although running many miles now comes naturally to me, it was not always like that. I started with just a few runs a week of a few miles and slowly increased my mileage and intensity.
Choose the distance you want to run and take it slow. You should be running at a conversational pace for all of your runs for the first six months. Be patient and don't worry about your pace. It will naturally increase over time with increased fitness.
Make running a habit. Find a friend to keep you motivated and accountable or join a running group.
High Desert, CA Moms Run This Town is the most active running group for women in the area. They can be found on Facebook and have runners of all levels and abilities from sub-elite athletes to walkers. The group is very supportive no matter what your goals are.
Although the HD MRTT Facebook group is only for women, anyone can join in on the public runs. Find more information at www.facebook.com/groups/highdesert.ca.mrtt/.
Take training slowly, build a good base

The President's Best Friend
If he'd been the closest companion of the president of IBM, you might happen across his name in a privately printed memoir. But LeMoyne Billings was John Fitzgerald Kennedy's best friend from Choate to the White House—and that makes him part of history.
June/july 1983 | Volume 34, Issue 4
By the summer of 1942 both Billings and Kennedy were a few steps closer to the war. Curiously, Lem was the first to see action. While Jack was engaged in the officers' training program at Northwestern University, Pvt. LeMoyne Billings was bound for Cairo aboard a ship sailing in a convoy out of New York Harbor. He had been accepted by the American Field Service, a paramilitary ambulance corps that soon went into the front lines of the desert fighting against Rommel's forces in Egypt. Meanwhile, a few letters arrived from Jack. He had applied to the PT-boat training unit in Melville, Rhode Island, and was itching to get into the combat zone. While enduring the wait for sea duty, Jack told Lem, he often reminded himself of President Roosevelt's famous words: "This war is bigger than you and me." Finally, in February 1943, he received orders to the South Pacific as a replacement officer for Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 2.
From North Africa, Lem wrote Jack long, graphic descriptions of the fighting and of his continuing struggle to get a naval commission. In May, Jack wrote back from his hut in the Solomon Islands, saying he was now skipper of his own boat, PT 109. He wished Lem were part of his crew.
During that summer Jack's correspondence ceased for three worrisome months. Then, in September, Lem received a New York Times clipping from his mother: Jack's bravery had saved the crew of PT 109 after a Japanese destroyer had cut the boat in two in the Blackett Strait. A few weeks later a long letter arrived from Jack, but the news was mostly about the large percentage of Jack's old girl friends who had recently gotten married and about his desire to spend a month in Palm Beach with his family and Lem. He alluded to the PT 109 episode only briefly, laconically mentioning that he had lost his boat and some of his men.
By November, after receiving minor shrapnel wounds during Montgomery's decisive victory at El Alamein, Lem was home. Jack, who was now executive officer of his squadron and commander of a new motor gunboat (PT 59), advised him to stay put and settle for 4-F.
Out of uniform, Lem was restless again. With the help of Ambassador Kennedy and Congressman John W. McCormack, he received a commission as an ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve. Jack sent congratulations in his last letter from the South Pacific. Now a twice-decorated war hero, he returned home in January. Billings, the desert veteran and raw ensign, arrived in Palm Beach dressed in uniform. He had orders for sea duty aboard the attack transport U.S.S. Cecil , soon to depart for the South Pacific. Their reunion lasted until Easter. They both looked thinner, but they were whole. Their friendship, too, was intact; despite the war they were as youthful and exuberant as ever.
Two weeks after the Japanese surrendered in August 1945, Kennedy received word from Billings that he would remain aboard the Cecil in the South Pacific until February or March of 1946.
Kennedy had just returned from Europe, where he had spent a month in England, covering the British elections for the Hearst newspapers, and several weeks in Germany, accompanying Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal in Forrestal's private plane. He said the trip had been "extremely interesting" but didn't want to "bore [Lem] with the details," which included, Lem later learned, a visit with Forrestal to the conference of Truman, Stalin, and Churchill in Potsdam, where John F. Kennedy first met Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
"As to my present plans," the young war hero continued, "I am making some speeches around—one is going to be at the Waldorf-Astoria in NY on Oct. 4th—the other speakers being Baruch, Dewey, and Byrnes—I suppose I'll speak after Baruch and Dewey and just before Byrnes. " He had also been made assistant to the chairman of the Boston Community Fund. "As you can see," he told Lem, "I'm getting ready to throw my slightly frayed belt into the political arena any time now. I'm expecting you back to vote early and often. Would you suggest a question period after my speeches? It went so well the last time I tried it in the deep South…"
By December, Kathleen reported to Lem: "Jack never stops thinking and talking about his political career and is really interested in it. So you'd better prepare yourself to listen."
DURING THE PRECEDING thirteen years, Lem had listened and watched and remained closely involved as Jack had grown almost annually into new roles: as the congressional candidate in the Eleventh District of Massachusetts; the freshman congressman; the junior senator; the husband of Jacqueline Bouvier; the patient undergoing a nearly fatal spinal operation; the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Profiles in Courage ; the Vice-Presidential contender at the Democratic Convention in 1956; the father of a baby daughter, born in November 1957, whose sparkling eyes were revealed to the nation four months later in Life magazine, peeping at her father over the edge of her bassinet.

About the Author
Written by Mercedes Green
I lived in Greene County Virginia for about 5 years of my childhood. This span of time was enough to imprint the love of the Washington Redskins (and hate of the Dallas Cowboys) into my life forever, even though I am Canadian and still live in Canada. I am in no way an expert on sports, football, or even the Redskins, but I do absolutely adore them, their fans and their home state(s).
My favourite Redskin is and will always be Darrell Green (not because we share the same last name lol). I've adored Chris Cooley since he joined the team from the 2004 draft and love London Fletcher.
Hail to the Redskins! See you October 30th in my home town of Toronto.
