Carpeting: Carpeting
Carpeting, also wall-to-wall carpet or fitted carpet is a carpet intended to cover a floor entirely. Carpet over 4 meters in length is usually installed with the use of a power-stretcher (tubed or tubeless).
Fitted carpets were originally woven to the dimensions of the specific area they were covering. They were later made in smaller strips, around the time stair carpet became popular, and woven at the site of the job by the carpet fitter. These carpets were then held in place with individually nailed tacks driven through the carpet around the perimeter and occasionally small rings in the carpet which were folded over.
The introduction of tack strip, "tackless strip", "gripper strip", or "smoothedge", simplified the installation of wall-to-wall carpeting, increasing the neatness of the finish at the wall. Because gripper strips are essentially the same thickness as underlay, using gripper strips yields a level edge, whereas tacking gives an uneven edge.
There are three types of carpets: the loop pile carpet, the cut carpet and the structured carpet, combining the first two. Very popular in the sixties thanks to its colorful prints, most carpets took a decorative appearance inside houses.
One of the most famous carpets in history was given by Louis XVI to George Washington. It was woven for the banquet room of Mount Vernon, where it can still be admired today.
In the early twentieth century, a new manufacturing method called "tufting" revolutionized the carpeting industry. Invented in Dalton (GA), it quickly replaced the traditional method of weaving. The pile yarns are stitched through a textile backing and coated on the underside of the coating. From 1930, the mechanization of tufting favored its development. It now represents 51% of total production while it amounted to only 10% in the 1950s.
Tufted Carpet
The tufted carpet is the most common manufacturing technique. It implies poking yarn tufts in a textile support close to a sewing machine. The carpet is then equipped with a folder (rewoven, jute, plastic or cotton) pasted on the back of the tuft. This technique makes possible the production of cut pile, curly or structured carpets.
Woven Carpet
The woven carpet is one of the oldest manufacturing processes. It is woven like a carpet through a traditional weaving loom. The top and the back of the carpet are made simultaneously.
Needled Carpet
From several superposed layers of fibers, the needling technique consists in hanging the fibers together through the use of special needles. The carpets obtained are very solid but intended for temporary use since they do not have the comfort of woven and tufted carpets.
The different fibers constitute the carpet's velvet. They have a direct impact on the physical properties of the floor they are covering such as resistance or longevity. There are three types of fiber: natural, coming from animals (wool), vegetable (seagrass, coir, sisal) and synthetic (polyamide or polypropylene). The wool was used for weaving carpets more than five centuries B.C before being predominantly used in the raw carpets' manufacture. However, synthetic fibers are predominantly used nowadays.
Carpets' maintenance is very simple. A simple vacuum cleaner (broom, sleigh or trough) chosen according to his power extraction and mechanical performance should be sufficient. Moreover, 90% of stains disappear with a simple clean cloth dampened with water, if the procedure is quickly completed before the penetration and the drying of the product.
Carpet enhances the quality of habitat. Unlike smooth floors, its fibers capture airborne dust preventing the spread of airborne allergens. A simple vacuuming will remove them. In 2006, the DAAB (German Allergy and Asthma Association) published recommendations to have carpet to reduce the concentration of fine particles in indoor air.
From sumptuous pastel plush to rugged berber tweeds, carpet is a universally popular floor covering, Broadloom has long been synonymous with comfort and luxury, but in today's eclectic room schemes, carpeting is just one of numerous soft options for a high-fashion floor.
Whether you choose a room-size loose-laid or wall to wall permanently installed over a cushion, this soft floor covering, offers many practical advantages. Broadloom's sweep of color and underfoot comfort gives any room-even sparely set ones-a more "furnished" feeling. Colors can work magic, too. For example, a light hue visually expands a small space, and a dark one cozies up a large room. Carpet in a sunny color can visually warm a room short on natural light. Before you buy carpets, study samples at home, and remember that the color of a room-size carpet will be more intense than the samples.
Advantages of Carpeting
Materials and construction give carpeting inherent virtues that may suit your decorating needs.
- Broadloom absorbs sound, an appealing feature for condominiums, town houses, and homes with high ceilings.
- Yarn construction and surface texture add soft contrast to a room's angular architecture.
- As versatile camouflage, broadloom goes over any existing floor, with no need for a new subfloor, and it hides uneven surfaces and existing floor damage.
- Today, carpet is available with soil, stain, odor, and static-resistant features, and manufacturing techniques have increased its durability and cleanability.

The Fort Lewis College womens basketball team got a big lift with a weekend sweep of Chadron State and Black Hills State, and the Skyhawks defensive performance was a big reason why.
And one of their players reaped the rewards.
Ashley Kuchar earned Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week for her role in the two weekend victories, wins that pushed the Skyhawks over .500 (4-3) in the RMAC for the first time this season following a rough start.
Kucher, a 5-8 guard from Provo, Utah, had five steals, two blocks and six defensive rebounds to help pace the Skyhawks, who return home to play New Mexico Highlands and Western New Mexico this weekend.
She was no slouch on the offensive end, either. Kuchar came out firing after the holiday break, scoring 15 points against Chadron State before tying her career-high with 24 points, six 3-pointers and three steals in the win over the Yellow Jackets last Saturday.
Fort Lewis has won four of its last five games and will look to get its 5-6 overall record above the .500 mark this weekend.

PC Cards Get a High-Speed Upgrade with ExpressCards
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Peripherals
Add-on cards for notebook computers are set to receive an upgrade. The new cards are named "ExpressCards" and will have an orange rabbit as their logo. These new cards will be faster and smaller than the current lineup. They will even have features such as high speed backup and the ability to receive HDTV programing. Supporters of these cards expect the product to eventually hit the desktop PC market, where PC upgrades will not involve opening up the case. This is a very interesting concept. Imagine being able to just buy one upgrade card with the ability to use it on all your computers without having to open each one. Look for the new chipset in the notebooks to launch this month and for these cards to be available for purchase in the coming weeks.

I've been playing around lately with a lot of variations of Chocolate Covered Katie's Chocolate-Chip Blondie recipe. This black-bean and chocolate version is perhaps my favorite so far.
The Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans (rinsed well if canned)
1/2 cup + 1 T sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup flour (I used rice flour)
1/4 cup ground flax
1 t baking powder
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
1/4 t salt
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 handful chocolate chips
The Process:
- Preheat oven to 350°, and spray an 8x8 square pan with oil.
- Combine everything except the walnuts and chocolate chips in a food processor and process until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add walnuts and pulse a few times to mix them in.
- Spread batter in pan, and bake 35-38 minutes, until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Sprinkle the brownies with chocolate chips, and try to let them cool before you gobble them up.

On Wednesday night, Brad Pitt was accosted at the glitzy premiere of "Maleficent," allegedly by the notorious red-carpet attacker Vitalii Sediuk. Pitt wasn't hurt in the incident and continued on the carpet before heading into the theater.
This was hardly the first such time a celebrity has been ambushed in public and not always by Sediuk, either. Celebrities usually maintain their poise, though a few of these instances have not always ended as well.
Here are nine more high-profile public figures who have been subjected to rabid fans, flying footwear and weaponized pantry items.
Tom Cruise: Back in 2005 while doing press interviews at the London premiere of "War of the Worlds," Cruise was squirted in the face by a man posing as a reporter, who had disguised a water pistol as a microphone.
Cruise asked the prankster, "Why would you do that?" and went on to say, "That's incredibly rude. I'm here giving you an interview and you do that. … It's incredibly rude."
Police detained the man who squirted Cruise; as it turned out he was working on a comedy show for British TV.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: While on the campaign trail for the California governorship in 2003, the Terminator himself was pelted with an egg at Cal State Long Beach. His jacket took the brunt of the mess, which he removed without breaking stride before delivering his stump speech.
Always handy with a one-liner, Schwarzenegger later joked to the TV cameras, "This guy owes me bacon now."
President George W. Bush: Schwarzenegger's fellow politician found himself dodging — successfully — a pair of shoes hurled at his head (one after the other) in 2008. The incident occurred while Bush was in the middle of a news conference with then-Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
The assailant was later identified as television correspondent Muntadar al-Zeidi. Bush later joked about the incident, ""If you want the facts, it was a size 10."
Beyonce: Another prominent world leader — Queen B — had a close call in Brazil last September when a too-excited fan nearly pulled her offstage and into the crowd.
While performing her song "Irreplaceable," the singer leaned down to shake hands with fans in the front row and got more than she bargained for. Security then rushed to her aid, and she continued performing with her usual poise.
Justin Bieber: Weeks after Beyonce's incident, another pop star had an onstage incident in Brazil, and this one didn't end so well. After taking a water bottle to the face in Sao Paolo, Bieber glared at the audience and stormed offstage. He did not return.
Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Linday Lohan: The tabloid mainstays are among the numerous celebs who have been "flour-bombed" — that is, pelted with flour. Kardashian was hit on the red carpet while launching a new fragrance in 2012, Lohan was doused by anti-fur activists in 2008, and Hilton was also floured by anti-fur activists in 2006. (Lohan has also been glitter-bombed.)
Anna Wintour: The imperious Vogue editor who inspired Meryl Streep's character in "The Devil Wears Prada" has also been repeatedly targeted by animal-rights activists. She was hit with tofu pies twice in 2005.
After the second incident, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals vice president Dan Mathews said the pie attack was retaliation for Vogue's decision to run fur ads while refusing to use PETA's anti-fur messages.

Notes: There are many methods for making yogurt, as well as yogurt-making machines. After several years of experimentation, this is the one I settled on, but feel free to play around.
Yogurt culture is available at most natural food stores. Store-bought plain yogurt or the dregs of your last batch also can be used, although the bacteria can lose potency after several uses.
1 gallon fresh cows or goats milk
1 packet yogurt culture or 1 cup plain yogurt
Heat milk to 180 F, remove from burner and cool to 112-114 F. (I do this by pouring it in a jar and placing it in the sink with cool water and ice.)
Add yogurt starter and stir. To ferment, I place it in a cooler next to a jar of hot water with a towel wrapped around both. This helps keep the bacteria in the proper temperature range. Others use their ovens at low, low temperature.
Close cooler and let sit for about 12 hours.
For thicker, Greek-style yogurt, strain by ladling into a cheesecloth-lined strainer (You also can buy strainers specifically designed for this purpose.)
See Chèvre recipe for some suggested uses of the leftover whey.

Two hurt in violent Manchester crash
October 19. 2013 8:46PM
MANCHESTER - Two men were seriously hurt when a driver lost control of his car on Bridge Street Extension, and the vehicle then struck and bounced off of a guardrail and flew about 70 feet into a stand of trees late Friday night, authorities said.
Police said the driver, Andriy Pasitcznyk, 33, of Manchester, was charged with DWI and may face additional charges related to the crash. Pasitcznyk and a passenger, Richard Hunter, 54, of Manchester, were trapped in the vehicle for about 15 minutes as rescue crews worked to free them from the wreckage.
Police said both speed and alcohol were contributing factors in the crash, which happened around 11:20 p.m.
District Fire Chief Al Poulin said the passenger in the Dodge Charger was removed first, but rescue crews had to cut the roof off the car to remove the driver.
The two were taken to Elliot Hospital.
The Charger was demolished.

Racing Begins May 31 on Lake Travis in Austin, Texas
AUSTIN, Texas - After nearly three weeks spent living on the Old Campus and practicing out of the McNay Family Sailing Center in Branford, Conn., the No. 3 Yale women's sailing team finally departed New Haven early on Wednesday morning for Austin, Texas—the site of the 2012 ICSA Women's National Dinghy Championship. Racing at the nationals is scheduled to begin at noon on Thursday, May 31, and continue through June 2.
This year the Bulldogs had an exceptional amount of time to spend training between the regular season and the nationals. One reason for this is that this year's national championship was scheduled almost a full week later than most previous years. Additionally, and more importantly, this year the Bulldogs earned themselves a direct berth to the nationals by placing second at their district qualifiers. Had they not finished top-two at the Women's New England Championship, racing in Texas would have begun for them on May 30 at the ICSA Women's Semifinals, where the last nine of 18 national championship spots are determined. Although the Bulldogs took first place at the semifinals last year, before the nationals in Cascade Locks, Ore., this year they saved themselves the stress of having to qualify last-minute.
According to members of the Yale women's sailing team, the extra time to prepare for the nationals has been used quite productively, without neglecting to provide team members with sufficient time off. After exams finished on Tuesday May 8, the team spent three days on the water helping the Yale coed sailing team to prepare for its national championship qualifier the following weekend. The Bulldogs were then given a week to themselves during which many of them returned home to visit family and attend siblings' graduations.
Meanwhile, the Yale class of 2012 had graduation ceremonies of its own. Past women's varsity sailing captain, Margot Benedict, who is traveling with the team to Austin, was amongst those receiving their degrees. Isabel Elliman and Genoa Warner, past members of the women's sailing team and current members of the coed team, also graduated. Unlike most of their classmates though, Benedict, Elliman and Warner did not say farewell to New Haven after graduation weekend. Instead, on the following day they were back with the sailing team, commuting between the gym, their dorms and the sailing center.
In the week following graduation, the Yale women's and coed sailing teams really got to work training for nationals. Monday through Friday consisted of two-a-days on the water in addition to the team's workouts every other day at the Payne Whitney Gymnasium. On Tuesday and Thursday that week, the Bulldogs traveled an hour north to New London where they practiced with the Brown University Sailing Team, using the boats and facilities at the US Coast Guard Academy. Brown's women's sailing team is ranked No. 4 in the nation, just behind the Bulldogs.
On Saturday May 26 the undergraduate Bulldogs hosted a regatta for alumni of the team. While this was mostly a social event for the alums, their natural competitive spirits came out to give the current team members a run for their money on the race course. With 15 boats on the starting line and tricky, light-air sailing conditions, the Alumni Regatta turned out to be another productive practice day for the Bulldogs.
Finally, over the past couple of days the Bulldogs have been tapering their workouts and practice sessions in hopes of being fresh upon their arrival to Lake Travis in Austin, where the nationals will be sailed. Since they are arriving Wednesday morning, they will have the chance to spend Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning watching the racing at the ICSA Women's Semifinals before taking to the race course themselves on Thursday afternoon.
While spectating and trying to soak up as much local knowledge as possible about the Lake Travis racing venue, the Bulldogs are going to find themselves soaking up plenty of something else as well—sun. With forecasts calling for temperatures to break into the 90s on most days, sun protection and hydration are going to be crucial factors affecting competitors' physical and mental sharpness on the water at the nationals. For this reason, it is even more beneficial that the Bulldogs get to avoid spending a full extra day racing in the sun.
It has been a long and largely successful season for the Yale women's sailing team, especially if you consider both the fall and the spring. In the fall the Bulldogs held onto the No. 1 national ranking all season long and it was not until late in the spring that they were knocked from that top spot. Now, after more than a month since their last regular competition, the Bulldogs are determined to reclaim the No. 1 spot when it really counts—at the nationals.
Eight sailors will travel to represent Yale in Austin, Texas at the three-day national championship regatta which starts on May 31. Just two divisions of FJs will be scored, but the Bulldogs have shown before that their large squad has talent that runs deep, so all eight team members are likely to play a significant role. At the two biggest regattas of the year other than the nationals, the Women's Atlantic Coast Championship and Women's New England Championship, Yale took first and second respectively while utilizing all members of its roster.
At those championships, individuals were ready at all times and stepped up to the plate with confidence when called upon. That is exactly what will need to happen this week if the team is to meet its goal of winning the national championship.

If you are looking for a working club penguin item adder cheat tool you've come to the right place. Our club penguin item adder is the only download and no download (online application) that allows you to add any rare or exclusive item to your club penguin account and igloo.
We have two options for adding items to your account.
1) You can choose from the drop-down menu of pre-loaded items we hard coded into the item adder. We have lists of both member and non-member items. We even have a dropdown of beta only items from the original launch of club penguin (if you are going to wear any of these don't go to a party or something haha, it's a pretty quick way to get your account reported)
2) You can enter the item id number for any club penguin item including furniture, clothes, pins, backgrounds ect. Note: If you don't know how to find the id number for a specific club penguin item then read our guide available on this website.
To use the item adder enter your username and password (we do not store usernames or passwords on our server) and then either fill out the item ID field with the item id number or use our pre-loaded item dropdown box to choose from over 1200 different club penguin items including furniture, clothes, pins, backgrounds, and more!
Update for 2015:
We removed the online version of the tool because it's too easy for club penguin to block the software. When a bunch of users are all trying to use the item adder at the same time it's pretty obvious that it's a hack tool since all the accounts are connecting from the same location. So now we only have the download version available, that way every time you use it you are the only one trying to connect from one location. This way it looks completely natural and doesn't set off any red flags.
Hopefully everyone understands, we just don't want any of our users getting banned. Also the download version is 100% safe and virus free as we built it ourselves. Even better is the fact that the download version works almost twice as fast as the online version and you can use it even when your internet connection is slow.
Tips for using the best item adder for club penguin:
1) Try not to abuse the tool. A quick way to draw attention to yourself is to add hundreds of items to your account in a short period of time.
2) Do not, I repeat do not use the tool on a brand new account. New accounts have to go through an approval process and each account is manually reviewed. This will cause your account to be unapproved and will just draw more attention to our item adder, making more work for our team as we'll have to re-work the code if it gets patched by Club Penguin.
3) Don't use other 3rd party item adders. Seriously most of hte club penguin hack tools out there are built by people who don't know what they are doing. They don't setup security features like our proxy rotators and ip spoofers so it's easy for club penguin to see who is using the cheats software and ban the account. If you have used these accounts and you noticed that your password has been changed or your account has been banned that's why. Disney is a pretty big company if you haven't realized that and they have a lot of safeguards in place to stop cheats like these from happening on their servers. So if you are going to use a CP item adder be smart about it and use the safest club penguin cheat tool.
While we have never had anyone banned for using our club penguin item adder, we can't make any guarantees. To minimize your risk we recommend you only add 10-20 items to your account per day. Obviously a lot of users do more than than but the easiest way for your club penguin account to get flagged would be by adding 1000's of items to your account which is obviously not possible without an item adder cheat. So if you want to be safe just make sure that you don't overdue it. We have also heard that it's best to only wear items that were released after your penguin was created, however we personally have used items that are from before our accounts and not had any issues.
That said we are always making updates to the CP item adder to make it more undetectable and better from a safety standpoint. Sidenote: If you want to get a free membership without having to use the hack tool you can click here. In the last couple months alone we've added proxy rotators, ip spoofers (make it look like the tool is coming from a different location then where you login to your account so that you're login ip doesn't get flagged) ect. If you have any questions about our security measures leave us a comment or shoot us an email.

I just had 2 Amana ASXC16 systems (with matched Amana variable speed furnaces) installed and want to double check what I am being told by the installer regarding the ability to help dehumidify my Houston home.
The t-stats are the CTK02 High-Definition Control which have Independent humidification control built-in dehumidification control
In the T-stat menu system there is an option for Dehumidification Select (DEHUM) and when the installer finished it was set to off.
The installer said that he sets it to on only if I had a real dehumidifier installed along with the AC system.
From installer guide:
Cool Set-up (SETUP)
Dehumidification Select (DEHUM) ON or OFF (Default is OFF)
Selecting OFF disables dehumidification
selecting ON enables dehumidification to air conditioner only.
Is this correct or should DEHUM be set to on?
If it is set to on - how does this impact the operation of my new AC system?
Thank you for your help.

Those who used mental-health services at any time during this study (about two thirds of the volunteers) were only half as likely to die as those who did not -- with or without statistical correction for all the other factors.
In addition, this study found that women who died from AIDS-related causes were about twice as likely as HIV-positive women who did not die to report clinically significant depression in their last two 6-month visits.
This study analyzed data from the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), from volunteers' visits to clinics in Brooklyn, Bronx, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington DC.
The new report1 is consistent with many studies that have found that depression is associated with worse outcome in HIV and other diseases -- and with growing indications that treatment of "mental" conditions can make a big difference in the progression and outcome of the "physical" illness. AIDS Treatment News reported on one of these studies that was published last December ("'Shy' Study Suggests New Treatment Mechanism," AIDS Treatment News /content/art31677.html/content/art31677.html#397, December, 2003). This careful research in 54 HIV-positive men2 found that the HIV viral load set point was eight times higher in people with a high anxiety level -- who also responded less well to antiretroviral treatment, with only about one-eighth the reduction in viral load of other patients, when both began HAART for the first time. Also see Evans 20023: "Our findings provide the first evidence that depression may alter the function of killer lymphocytes in HIV-infected women and suggest that depression may decrease natural killer cell activity and lead to an increase in activated CD8 T lymphocytes and viral load" (quote from the abstract).
For reviews, see Cruess 20034 and Leserman 20035 on depression and stress in HIV; also see Herbert 19936 on stress and immunity in humans. And an excellent newspaper article appeared last December in The Washington Post.7
The impact of mental health treatment on disease progression and survival needs more attention from doctors, researchers, policy makers, and activists alike. Activists could help by becoming informed, mobilizing public support for research and supporting the inclusion of mental-health services in HIV medical care.
Ongoing attention and conversation could lead to research that may provide new treatments to reduce HIV disease progression. AIDS Treatment News will follow this area, and suggest ways that readers can help.

|Santa Barbara > Wineries > Fess Parker Winery & Vineyard
Fess Parker Winery & Vineyard
When Fess Parker was cast in the role of Davy Crockett in the mid-1950's, it caused an international sensation and changed his life forever. So too did the purchase of 714 acres in the Santa Ynez Valley change the course of the Parker family's history.
Realizing the potential of Santa Barbara County as a premium grape-growing region, Fess and his son, Eli, originally set out in 1989 to plant a small vineyard and sell fruit to local producers. But, as Fess' daughter, Ashley explains, " Fess is from Texas, so he can't do anything small. "The Fess Parker Winery and Vineyard now farms almost 700 acres on four vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County.
The characters Fess portrayed, Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, inspired generations of Americans. Throughout the late 1950's and 1960's Fess was at the pinnacle of a television career that has an unprecedented impact upon American popular culture. But is was Fess' entrepreneurial spirit that prompted his leaving Hollywood to go into business for himself. The traits that Crockett and Boone embodied - integrity, resourcefulness and good humor -- carried over to Fess' personal life and formed the foundation upon which the family business was built. First-class hospitality has always been at the core of their ventures, first as hoteliers and eventually with the opening of the winery.
Working as a family has always been a great source of pride and pleasure for the Parker family. Eli Parker began in the family business as assistant winemaker in 1989. After several years of learning the craft at the side of renowned and accomplished winemakers, Eli took the reigns as winemaker himself with the 1995 vintage. A leader of the winery since it's inception, it was in 1996 that Eli formally assumed the title and responsibilities of President. In the early 1990's, Ashley ran the first tastings out of the barrel room and represented the winery at trade shows. In 1998, Ashley became Eli's partner, working on the public relations and sales and marketing teams. The presence of Fess and his wife Marcy as the founding visionaries of the winery is a vital and enduring one.
From Los Angeles: Take Highway 101 North along the coast. Approximately 5 miles north of Buellton, take the Highway 154 off-ramp and turn right. Proceed 50 yards to Zaca Station Rd. and turn left. Follow Zaca Station for 5 miles and the winery entrance is on the right.

When American Apparel president Dov Charney tells the press that he's "not sorry of expressing myself," it usually means that he has done something involving hip fashion, knee-high socks and models who are dubiously dewy-skinned. However, in this case, Charney is responding to reports over his recent legal battle with infamous director Woody Allen over American Apparel billboards featuring a screen-cap from Allen's well-known film, 'Annie Hall.' The ads showed Allen in Rabbi clothing and the director has stated that he did not give any permission for the image to be used. Originally asking for $10 million, Allen was today awarded half of that for the supposed damage the ads have done to his reputation (?!)
Let's just say that if American Apparel wanted to put up a billboard featuring a picture of me I wouldn't be complaining!

Riley Reiff
Pick: 23, Player: Riley Reiff, Team: Lions, Position: OT, School: Iowa, Reiff bounced around the line as a freshman, playing at various spots before replacing Bryan Bulaga (a first-round pick of the Packers) at left tackle as a sophomore. Reiff started all 13 games at left tackle as a junior before deciding to turn pro early. If there's a knock on him, it's that his arms are a tad shorter than typical for a left tackle. -Sam Farmer, Tribune Newspapers

From The News Service of Florida: Gov. Rick Scott's re-election campaign posted more big numbers as the clock wound down on September.
The biggest score came from Shahid "Shad" Khan, the owner of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, who dropped $250,000 into Scott's "Let's Get to Work" committee, which is backing the governor's re-election. The contribution was posted on the committee's website Sept. 30, three weeks after Scott hosted Khan at the Governor's Mansion for a Sunday night meeting about unspecified economic-development opportunities.
Khan has expressed interest in developing land known as the Shipyards near EverBank Field along the St. Johns River. A spokesman for Khan, who made his money with the Illinois-based auto-parts maker Flex-N-Gate and owns a home in Naples, has described the Sept. 8 meeting as "outstanding." Scott's spokespeople have only noted the generic topic of the get-together.
Khan isn't the first billionaire from the luxury boxes to get behind Scott. Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has set up his own political action committee, Florida Jobs First, which has helped raise money for Scott.
The PAC was created by Ross after he all but declared war against House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, because of the House's failure to support upgrades to Sun Life Stadium earlier this year. Khan's Sept. 30 contribution was among $1.34 million that churned into the "Let's Get to Work" account the final week of September.
The money put the committee's intake for September at $3.65 million. Scott has lagged in polls behind potential Democratic candidate Charlie Crist, the former governor who left the GOP. But those poll numbers haven't discouraged business interest for Scott.
The money in the final week of September included $140,000 from contributors with construction and real-estate ties, $227,759 from the health-care field, $53,000 from the insurance industry, and $362,000 from banking and finance. Another $60,000 was chipped in by gaming interests. The Buffalo, N.Y.,-based Delaware North Gaming & Entertainment and several of its affiliates, including the Daytona Beach Kennel Club and Poker Room, collectively gave $50,000 at the end of September. Melbourne Greyhound Park gave $10,000.
The money posted by gaming interests was in addition to $540,000 in gambling-tied money that rolled in during the first part of the month, as the Legislature prepares for a major debate during the 2014 session about Florida's gaming future. Earlier in September, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, approaching an end to a key part of its exclusive gambling compact with the state, dropped $500,000 into the committee, while Missouri-based Isle of Capri Casinos, which owns Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park in Broward County, and Calder Race Course in Miami-Dade County each gave $20,000.
Since the start of the year, the "Let's Get to Work" committee has raised $13.25 million, of which $1.2 million has been spent, mostly on consultants.

Follow the steps in this guide to replace the headphone jack in your iPad mini 4 LTE.
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPad's display until the whole face is covered. For particularly bad breaks, you may need to lay down two layers.
Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.
Place the iOpener in the center of the microwave.
I found you need to be very patient when using the iOpener. It's worth taking your time, giving the heat time to work on the glue. When I finally got the battery out, there were some strips of glue left behind that I just cleaned off with some isopropanol before installing the new battery.
By the way, I had to run the iOpener for longer in my microwave for it to get hot enough. When it was too hot to touch, I figured it was hot enough for the batteries.
Fredrik -
I didn't find this to be as hard as I had built it up in my mind to be; HOWEVER, saying that I need to say years ago I was the local Nokia service center in my town. But many years ago right after they got rid of analog times. Yeah. A classic installer/repairer mistake when starting something they haven't fixed or installed before is picking up the instructions, flipping through them; maybe even reading a section that is new-then tossing the instructions over the shoulder. "I got this." This usually comes right before something major gets broke. And I can tell you when you try to do it yourself and then mess it up horribly then take it to the repair shop. Well we called that "I can do it myself" syndrome and charged extra to put back together what they brought in in the box. Now knowing all this - I can't stress this enough because I am stupid, stupid, stupid. COVER YOUR SCREEN IN CLEAR BOXING TAPE AND READ ALL THE INSTRUCTION BELOW THROUGH TO THE END BEFORE EVEN ATTEMPTING THIS FIX. Take my advise.
I didn't have an iOpener, so I used a wheat type heat bag. If you do this though, make sure you put a layer of plastic between your Mac and the bag, or you'll get condensation in places you don't want it.
I started out using the iOpener but switched to my wife's hairdryer. A heat gun or hair dryer proved to be much more convenient and is a time saviour. You can heat more and the glue becomes more fluid make the next steps with the opening picks much easier
Use a hair dryer! Watch this vid: https://youtu.be/16GkvjVyOJA It is much easier to do if you heat it from the other side.
I wonder how many people actually wrapped in their iPhone into iOpener and put this "sandwich" into microwave??
I know this is obvious, but backup your iPad with iTunes before you start. I'd also turn off your passcode if you have one.
Ther first time you heat up the iOpener for this repair when its room temperature I had to heat it up for more than 30 seconds. I remember I had to heat it up for around 45 seconds. However, after that when you need to reheat it again during the repair 30 seconds will be enough.
I've been with Samsung for 8 years now!! Never did i have a case on any of my phones My Samsung 8 is 2 months old the case protector around the edge pop off and broke my phone it's like someone put a bullet hole in it
Not everybody has a microwave. You need to state how long and at what temperature in a conventional oven.
Hi, the microware have multiple power 1 to 9, what must be used ?
Heat the iOpener for thirty seconds.
Throughout the repair procedure, as the iOpener cools, reheat it in the microwave for an additional thirty seconds at a time.
May I know the temperate limit about heating iOpener? (maximum 150 degrees Celsius?) thx so much.
DO NOT USE IN NON ROTATING MICROWAVE! It will pop a hole. I had it in for 45 seconds the first time. It wasn't very hot inside and I saw it started to leak on the paper towel I put under it. Just a fair bit of advice. I think I will just stick with the heat gun. Loud but useful.
If I don't have a microwave then I try to use hot air gun so how many munuts i want to heat ?
I heated mine up for 30 seconds, tested, then again for 30 seconds. It felt adequately hot. Leaving it on the left side, per the instruction, for a minute did not loosen the adhesive. I ended up pulling the suction cup hard enough to shadder the old screen. Moral of the story, I don't think it gets hot enough safely to have an affect.
There is a clear problem here with the heating part using the iopener things....no details are given. Whoever is testing them needs to make it clear - What temperature does it need to be? And for which phone models, because they differ in what's needed. It's only £10-15 for a laser guided temp sensor unit, and the designers/repairers should have one of those already for doing these kinds of repairs. Explaining half a repair, is worse than not explaining at all :-(
If I may suggest include your microwave wattage so people can get an idea on time for there own
30 seconds sure isn't cutting it… 45 didn't get the screen of my iPad air 2 to budge either… even after resting on the ipad for 4 minutes.
60 seconds in the microwave, the iOpener burst.
I'll get a new one and try once more with heating it 45 seconds and repeat that for 30 minutes like others have said here. If that doesn't work it'll have to be the heat gun.
Remove the iOpener from the microwave, holding it by one of the two flat ends to avoid the hot center.
I did this repair. I used a hair dryer, I think it works better: gets very hot fast.
Handling it by the tabs on either side, place the heated iOpener on the side of the iPad to the left of the home button assembly.
Let the iOpener sit for about five minutes to soften the adhesive beneath the glass.
Carefully place a suction cup halfway up the heated side.
Be sure the cup is completely flat on the screen to get a tight seal.
While holding the iPad down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the front panel assembly from from the rear case.
While holding the glass up with the suction cup, slide the point of an opening pick into the gap between the glass and body of the iPad.
"Don't insert the opening pick any deeper than the black bezel on the side of the display. Inserting the pick too far may damage the LCD."
Unfortunately, you only know you have inserted it too far when you have, and you start seeing little bubble veins form between the glass screen and the LCD.
The adhesive can be very stiff/hard, and if pushing through it can result in the pick plunging into the LCD when the adhesive finally gives way.
Take your time, use alot of heat, and if you need to try and push the pick in, try and do so in a slicing motion along the edge, use the wide edge, or hold the pick so that your finger will hit the edge of the screen before the pick tip will pass the bezel.
Reheat and reapply the iOpener.
Let it rest for a few minutes to reheat the left edge of the iPad.
Place a second opening pick alongside the first and slide the pick down along the edge of the iPad, releasing the adhesive as you go.
Continue moving the opening pick down the side of the display to release the adhesive.
If the opening pick gets stuck in the adhesive, "roll" the pick along the side of the iPad, continuing to release the adhesive.
Take the first pick you inserted and slide it up toward the top corner of the iPad.
Reheat the iOpener and place it on the top edge of the iPad, over the front-facing camera.
If you have a flexible iOpener, you can bend it to heat both the upper left corner and the upper edge at the same time.
Slide the opening pick around the top left corner of the iPad to separate the adhesive.
Slide the opening pick along the top edge of the iPad, stopping just before you reach the camera.
As you reach the front-facing camera, pull the pick out slightly and continue sliding it across the top edge.
Leave the opening pick in the iPad slightly past the front-facing camera.
Take a second pick and insert it to the left of the camera, where the first pick just was. Slide it back to the corner to completely cut any remaining adhesive.
Leave the second pick in place to prevent the corner adhesive from re-sealing as it cools.
Insert the previous pick deeper into the iPad and slide it away from the camera toward the corner.
Leave the three picks in the corners of the iPad to prevent re-adhering of the front panel adhesive.
Reheat the iOpener and place it on the remaining long side of the iPad—along the volume and lock buttons.
Insert a new opening pick and slide it down the right edge of the iPad, releasing the adhesive as you go.
Continue sliding the opening pick down the right edge of the iPad, reheating the edge using an iOpener if necessary.
Leave the opening picks in place and reheat the iOpener.
Set the reheated iOpener on the home button end of the iPad and let it rest for a few minutes to soften the adhesive beneath the glass.
Insert a new opening pick at the bottom right corner of the display, below the last opening pick you used to slice down the right edge.
Rotate the new pick around the lower right corner of the device.
Slide the pick from the bottom right corner along the lower edge of the device. Stop about half an inch shy of the home button.
Insert a final opening pick at the lower left corner of the iPad, directly below the existing one.
Slide the pick around the lower left edge of the iPad.
Continue sliding the pick at the lower left edge of the display toward the center of the iPad, until it is roughly half an inch from the home button.
Twist the two picks at the top edge of the iPad to break up the last of the adhesive holding the display assembly in place.
Lift the display from the top edge to open the device.
Remove the four 1.2 mm Phillips screws over the battery/display connector bracket.
Remove the battery/display cable bracket.
Use the flat tip of a spudger to disconnect the battery connector from its socket on the logic board.
Use the pointed end of a spudger to disconnect the display data connector from its socket on the logic board.
Use the pointed end of a spudger to disconnect the digitizer cable connector from its socket on the logic board.
Remove the display assembly.
Run the pointed end of a spudger between the looped tape and the plastic cellular antenna housing to make it easier to peel the tape up.
Use tweezers to peel up the looped tape adhered over the upper component cable bracket.
Remove the following four Phillips screws holding the upper component bracket in place:
Two 2.1 mm screws
Two 1.2 mm screws
Remove the upper component cable bracket.
Use tweezers to remove the small piece of tape covering the the left antenna ribbon cable ZIF connector.
Use the flat end of a spudger to flip up the retaining flap on the left antenna ribbon cable ZIF connector.
Use tweezers to pull the antenna ribbon cable from its ZIF socket on the headphone jack ribbon cable.
Peel up the tape over the front camera ribbon cable.
Use the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the front camera press connector from its socket on the logic board.
Use the flat end of a spudger to lift the headphone jack cable connector from its socket on the logic board.
Slide the flat end of a spudger under the headphone jack ribbon cable to separate it from the adhesive holding it to the rear case.
Remove the two 1.5 mm Phillips screws securing the headphone jack bracket.
Remove the headphone jack bracket.
Remove the final 2.6 mm Phillips screw securing the headphone jack to the rear case.
Remove the headphone jack from the iPad.

The 2011 Drift Worlds Championship held at Moto Arena over the August Bank Holiday was a great success, though team UK may disagree! The 4 day event, managed by D1RC, ran like clockwork and with so many new faces this year from counties far and wide the language barrier never arose, the common language of drifting overcoming all, although the Russian translation of angle as angel did cause a smile or two! Sure, it was a very serious competition, but it was also a party with so much to catch up on since last year at Snetterton, closed this year for redevelopment. Speaking of closed, so was Moto Arena! Just 4 weeks before the event the news emerged that the facility had ceased trading but with much sensitive negotiations with the parties involved, we were able to go ahead – cancelling bookings for flights, ferries, hotels and cars would never have been an option. Hopefully we'll see Moto Arena rise again.
Team HPI UK were there in the shape of myself and current World Champion Pete Gray but, like the rest of the small UK team, we all had full time duties running the show so practice for us was minimal and maybe we just never became as focused as we needed to be as, although our qualifying results were respectable, most making the A or B finals, our performance in the battles of the 2 car finals saw us drop out in the early stages with silly mistakes being made after taking an early score lead. Even so, our spirits were high and we resigned ourselves to letting another country take the lion's share of the fabulous D1RC Trophies and superb HPI Europe donated prizes. The country in question was Norway who brought along a 8 strong team who dominated the meet with eventual winner Petter Midtskogen driving a drift-modified HB TCX – at least I had the pleasure of seeing an HPI product winning! The next five places were all taken by dedicated drift chassis designs with 2nd place going to Edwin Pols of the Netherlands and another Norwegian team member, Bjorn Arild Retterasen taking 3rd. A single newly released HB TC-FD drift chassis claimed 6th place in the expert hands of Martin Fjeld, again from the Norwegian team. As with all D1RC events, a single control tyre type is used, the slick HPI T-Drift #4406, which as ever proved perfect for the closest of drift competition. The tyres also proved to be very wear resistant despite the vast majority of drivers using programmable ESCs with high boost levels set – good news as 4 days of continuous completion can otherwise become rather expensive! With the spoils handed out and the farewells exchanged, we all headed off on our long journeys home but as soon as we got home the forums were burning brightly with the fun tales and fond memories with everyone looking forward to 2012 when we'll all be getting together to do it again. Catch the full report and many more pictures in an upcoming issue of Radio Race Car International! Visit www.D1RC.eu to keep up with the world of RC drift. John Turner

Apple decided to offer the iPad 2 in a number of flavors that would make Baskin Robbins proud: two colors, three drive capacity sizes, and three connectivity choices (Wi-Fi only, 3G GSM on AT&T, and 3G CDMA on Verizon). All in all, that's 18 different versions of essentially the same device.
Our original iPad 2 teardown featured the black, 16GB, Wi-Fi only version. There's absolutely no reason why we'd take apart 17 other iPads, but we felt it worthwhile to at least document the differences between the Wi-Fi only, GSM, and CDMA versions.
When comparing the GSM and CDMA versions of the iPad 2, the most obvious difference is the microSIM slot.
The microSIM slot is located in the upper left corner of the GSM iPad 2. The case is machined uniquely in this area on GSM models to accommodate the SIM ejector mechanism and the SIM tray.
In contrast, the CDMA version doesn't rely on SIM cards of any sort and uses the circuitry on the WWAN board to relay user information. This adds up to an empty space in the outer case above the WWAN board where the microSIM slot was installed on the GSM version.
From top to bottom, a comparison of the WWAN antennas in the GSM, CDMA, and Wi-Fi versions, respectively.
There is one more antenna in the CDMA version of the iPad 2, which is similar to the antenna configuration of the Verizon iPhone 4.
For additional information on why GSM and CDMA require different antenna geometry, check out our iPhone 4 Verizon teardown.
Obviously, the Wi-Fi version has no WWAN antenna and thus has no black plastic antenna window along the top edge of its case. Instead, it makes do with solid aluminum.
Shown here are the logic board in the Wi-Fi, GSM, and CDMA models (listed from top to bottom).
The WWAN boards on the 3G models are connected to their logic boards via surface-mounted ribbon cables.
These cables make the WWAN board not user-replaceable, as the cables securely (and permanently) attach the WWAN board to the logic board.
Big players on the GSM iPad 2 3G board include:
A comparison of the headphone jacks (from top to bottom): Wi-Fi, CDMA, and GSM.
By and by, the headphone jacks are identical, with the exception of the GSM version which houses a microSIM card slot.

is there a way to remove the Verison/CDMA carrier chip from the iPad and have the device still function? Or does the firmware on reloading get stalled?

Latest update : 2012-12-14
Quebec: the Maple Leaf Mafia
For the past few months, the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec has been gripped by a tale of corruption involving public officials and the construction industry. The mayors of Montreal and Laval have been forced to resign because of graft on their watch. A public inquiry, known as the Charbonneau Commission, has been set up to look into the scandal.
We caught up with Lino Zambito, a Sicilian-born businessman who used to be involved in a system of graft that allowed several companies in Quebec to share out some of the juiciest municipal contracts.
This former construction company boss was one of the first to testify before the Charbonneau Commission. "I was not an angel. I rigged contracts, I financed political parties, I bribed public officials; but the system was such that if I wanted to work for the ministry, I had no choice", Zambito told the inquiry.
Today he runs a pizzeria in a suburb of Montreal but remains charged with several corruption-related offences. Whenever he can, Zambito catches up with the latest developments at the public inquiry. He knows all the witnesses who take the stand - former colleagues, competitors, city officials - and is able to decipher this mafia system which could extend well beyond the borders of Quebec.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The warehouses sat abandoned along East Franklinton for years, relics of a once-booming industrial neighborhood.
The buildings, which had produced water coolers for the nation and uranium for the Manhattan Project, now attract the city's creative class and have become the driving force behind the area's rebirth.
About 100 artists have claimed studio space in the 105,000-square-foot facility at 400 W. Rich St., and more than two dozen are on the waiting list.
"They basically cannot build studios fast enough," said Matt Egner, vice chairman of the Franklinton Area Commission. "It's just been amazing how much interest there has been."
But the property is more than an artists' colony, neighborhood leaders say.
It also has become a hub for the community, with a Saturday farmers market and the Dinin' Hall, where a rotating group of food trucks gather during the week. People from across the city have flocked to events held there, including a bike race in Franklinton and the Urban Scrawl, where artists gather to create murals on wooden boards.
Organizers have started to take wedding reservations for a 3,000-square-foot event space scheduled to open late this month. A bar-restaurant is slated to make its debut around the same time.
"What we're seeing, the development is beyond our expectations," said Jim Sweeney, executive director of the Franklinton Development Association, which is charged with boosting quality housing and facilitating economic development. "It's what we've been hoping for."
He credits the effort behind the 400 W. Rich St. project for the surge of interest in the area, from housing redevelopment to new businesses.
"There's a lot of interest in moving out here, and we haven't built one house yet," Sweeney said. "My goal is to ensure that (the eastern section of Franklinton) becomes such a strong development focus eventually that energy carries across the rest of the freeway and into Franklinton."
Columbus officials issued a 20-year redevelopment plan that includes an arts-and-innovation district in the southeastern part of the neighborhood.
City officials say they also anticipate as many as 4,400 new or rehabilitated homes.
Last month, the plan earned national honors from the Congress for the New Urbanism, a Chicago-based group that promotes mixed-use neighborhood development and sustainable communities.
"This neighborhood is seeing more progress in two years than most places in 10 years," said developer Lance Robbins, who owns the 400 W. Rich St. property. "It's truly a phoenix."
Robbins hopes to begin construction soon on loft apartments across from 400 W. Rich St., as well as new studio space at a nearby vacant warehouse he also owns.
He is currently negotiating with Ohio State University to provide collaborative space for its STEAM Factory, a showcase of work by the faculty and staff that focuses on science, technology, engineering, art and math.
"When I bought property in Franklinton 12 years ago, I can't tell you how many people said, 'Why did you do this?'?" Robbins said. "And I said, 'There will be a day ...'?"
Located across the Scioto River from Downtown, 400 W. Rich St. is in part of a neighborhood once known as the Bottoms. Vacant lots and old industrial buildings are scattered across the area. The average home value in the neighborhood is around $40,000, Sweeney said.
Multiple facilities currently make up 400 W. Rich St., including one structure built before the 1900s, said Chris Sherman, Robbins' property manager.
But the space featured an open floor plan with large contiguous spaces throughout the building that lent itself well to studio space, he said.
While the 400 W. Rich St. warehouse has become a haven for artists, organizers say it still holds true to its industrial roots.
"The Short North is where art is sold," said Andrew Lundberg, a graphics designer and artist who has rented studio space there for two years. "This is where art is made."

Wind farm meeting gets heatedBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
November 15. 2012 10:53PM
DANBURY - The third of three public "open house" meetings this week by a company planning to build a 37-tower wind farm got off to a rocky start Thursday night when the company's project manager refused to open the floor to questions from a crowd of about 90.
Ed Cherian of Iberdrola Renewables, a wind-energy company in the early permit stages for its Meadows Wind Power Project, led off the Danbury meeting with a 15-minute slide show explaining the project, as he had done Tuesday night in Grafton and Wednesday night in Alexandria, the other two towns involved in the project.
But after his presentation, Cherian said the meeting would continue with small-group question-and-answer sessions.
In Alexandria and Grafton, Cherian took questions from the audience.
In response, Betsy Schneider of Alexandria, a member of Newfound Lake Wind Watch, shouted: "This is your town! Please speak up."
A few Danbury residents asked why the group part of the meeting was closed, but the meeting went on as an open house soon after.
Cherian later said discussions at the previous two meetings were taken over by members of the Wind Watch.
"In the past two nights, the discussions were dominated by one group that ended up taking most of the discussion time, versus the silent majority that didn't get to speak," Cherian said.
Wind Watch opposes the project, saying it would damage the "viewshed" from the Newfound Lake-Cardigan Mountain State Park area, and would cause a loss in tourism dollars and land values.
"They lost the last two nights, so they are trying to keep everyone quiet in Danbury," Schneider said.
John Michels, a Danbury resident with 300 acres abutting the 6,000 acres already secured by lease for the project in the three towns, asked the crowd to let the meeting break up into small groups so he could get the information he needs to assess the project.
"I'm all for wind power, and if it was just about wind power, I'd be all in favor of this," Michels later said. "But as an abutter of the project, it's a totally different situation."
Cherian explained that the turbine towers would be more than 400 feet - roughly 40 stories - in height, and would be placed near the tops of area hills and ridges.
Each would be lighted at night. Cherian said local permits are not necessary for the project, but representatives from each town "will have a seat at the table" during the state approval process, which will probably take a year.
He said there will be several more public hearings.
Iberdrola has a wind farm in Groton that will go online next month.

Posted on 08/25/2005 2:28:39 AM PDT by South40
Washington (CNSNews.com) - The Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., the current home of hundreds of wounded veterans from the war in Iraq, has been the target of weekly anti-war demonstrations since March. The protesters hold signs that read "Maimed for Lies" and "Enlist here and die for Halliburton."
The anti-war demonstrators, who obtain their protest permits from the Washington, D.C., police department, position themselves directly in front of the main entrance to the Army Medical Center, which is located in northwest D.C., about five miles from the White House. Among the props used by the protesters are mock caskets, lined up on the sidewalk to represent the death toll in Iraq. See Video
Code Pink Women for Peace, one of the groups backing anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan's vigil outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford Texas, organizes the protests at Walter Reed as well.
Some conservative supporters of the war call the protests, which have been ignored by the establishment media, "shameless" and have taken to conducting counter-demonstrations at Walter Reed. "[The anti-war protesters] should not be demonstrating at a hospital. A hospital is not a suitable location for an anti-war demonstration," said Bill Floyd of the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com,who stood across the street from the anti-war demonstrators on Aug. 19.
"I believe they are tormenting our wounded soldiers and they should just leave them alone," Floyd added.
According to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, nearly 4,000 individuals involved in the Iraq war were treated at the facility as of March of this year, 1,050 of whom were wounded in battle.
One anti-war protester, who would only identify himself as "Luke," told Cybercast News Service that "the price of George Bush's foreign policy can be seen right here at Walter Reed -- young men who returned from Iraq with their bodies shattered after George Bush sent them to war for a lie."
Luke accused President Bush of "exploiting American soldiers" while "oppressing the other nations of earth." The president "has killed far too many people," he added.
On Aug. 19, as the anti-war protesters chanted slogans such as "George Bush kills American soldiers," Cybercast News Service observed several wounded war veterans entering and departing the gates of Walter Reed, some with prosthetic limbs. Most of the demonstrations have been held on Friday evenings, a popular time for the family members of wounded soldiers to visit the hospital.
But the anti-war activists were unapologetic when asked whether they considered such signs as "Maimed for Lies" offensive to wounded war veterans and their families.
"I am more offended by the fact that many were maimed for life. I am more offended by the fact that they (wounded veterans) have been kept out of the news," said Kevin McCarron, a member of the anti-war group Veterans for Peace.
Kevin Pannell, who was recently treated at Walter Reed and had both legs amputated after an ambush grenade attack near Baghdad in 2004, considers the presence of the anti-war protesters in front of the hospital "distasteful."
When he was a patient at the hospital, Pannell said he initially tried to ignore the anti-war activists camped out in front of Walter Reed, until witnessing something that enraged him.
"We went by there one day and I drove by and [the anti-war protesters] had a bunch of flag-draped coffins laid out on the sidewalk. That, I thought, was probably the most distasteful thing I had ever seen. Ever," Pannell, a member of the Army's First Cavalry Division, told Cybercast News Service.
"You know that 95 percent of the guys in the hospital bed lost guys whenever they got hurt and survivors' guilt is the worst thing you can deal with," Pannell said, adding that other veterans recovering from wounds at Walter Reed share his resentment for the anti-war protesters.
"We don't like them and we don't like the fact that they can hang their signs and stuff on the fence at Walter Reed," he said. "[The wounded veterans] are there to recuperate. Once they get out in the real world, then they can start seeing that stuff (anti-war protests). I mean Walter Reed is a sheltered environment and it needs to stay that way."
McCarron said he dislikes having to resort to such controversial tactics, "but this stuff can't be hidden," he insisted. "The real cost of this war cannot be kept from the American public."
The anti-war protesters claim their presence at the hospital is necessary to publicize the arrivals of newly wounded soldiers from Iraq, who the protesters allege are being smuggled in at night by the Pentagon to avoid media scrutiny. The protesters also argue that the military hospital is the most appropriate place for the demonstrations and that the vigils are designed to ultimately help the wounded veterans.
"If I went to war and lost a leg and then found out from my hospital bed that I had been lied to, that the weapons I was sent to search for never existed, that the person who sent me to war had no plan but to exploit me, exploit the country I was sent to, I would be pretty angry," Luke told Cybercast News Service.
"I would want people to do something about it and if I couldn't get out of my bed and protest myself, I would want someone else to do it in my name," he added.
The conservative counter-demonstrators carry signs reading "Troops out when the job's done," "Thank you U.S. Armed Forces" and "Shameless Pinkos go home." Many wear the orange T-shirts reading "Club G'itmo" that are marketed by conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
"[The anti-war protesters] have no business here. If they want to protest policy, they should be at the Capitol, they should be at the White House," said Nina Burke. "The only reason for being here is to talk to [the] wounded and [anti-war protests are] just completely inappropriate."
Albion Wilde concurred, arguing that "it's very easy to pick on the families of the wounded. They are very vulnerable ... I feel disgusted.
"[The anti-war protesters] are really showing an enormous lack of respect for just everything that America has always stood for. They lost the election and now they are really, really angry and so they are picking on the wrong people," Wilde added.
At least one anti-war demonstrator conceded that standing out in front of a military hospital where wounded soldiers and their families are entering and exiting, might not be appropriate.
"Maybe there is a better place to have a protest. I am not sure," said a man holding a sign reading "Stop the War," who declined to be identified.
But Luke and the other anti-war protesters dismissed the message of the counter demonstrators. "We know most of the George Bush supporters have never spent a day in uniform, have never been closer to a battlefield than seeing it through the television screen," Luke said.
Code Pink, the group organizing the anti-war demonstrations in front of the Walter Reed hospital, has a controversial leader and affiliations. As Cybercast News Service previously reported, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin has expressed support for the Communist Viet Cong in Vietnam and the Nicaraguan Sandinistas.
In 2001, Benjamin was asked about anti-war protesters sympathizing with nations considered to be enemies of U.S. foreign policy, including the Viet Cong and the Sandinistas. "There's no one who will talk about how the other side is good," she reportedly told the San Francisco Chronicle.
Benjamin has also reportedly praised the Cuban regime of Fidel Castro. Benjamin told the San Francisco Chronicle that her visit to Cuba in the 1980s revealed to her a great country. "It seem[ed] like I died and went to heaven," she reportedly said.
If Sheehan's son had been injured and not killed, would she protest at his hospital?
I don't want to beat a dead horse (or people who look like one - C.S.) but if you think another country is so much better, pack your sorry @$$ up and move there!
There is NOTHING like living for awhile in another country to make you appreciate what you have at home, and "visits" don't tell you JACK! about how things REALLY are!!!
Please forgive my rant, I need to drag myself out for a lunchtime run and its drizzling here and you would NOT BELIEVE the size of the snails and slugs you have to weave your way through. The slugs are so big and squishy you could twist an ankle if you step on one.
Expose the pinko bastards.
It's just a hunch on my part but I get the feeling these creeps had a hand in their own "trash-ification" process.
I really don't have a ping list... just thought you might be interested in this one.
"Luke accused President Bush of "exploiting American soldiers" while "oppressing the other nations of earth." The president "has killed far too many people," he added."
More soldiers died via ACCIDENTS durng Clinton's watch than have died in Iraq. (www.defense.org)
Great posting, South40.
Dead wrong. The correct story is:
"the price of Bill Clinton's "lack of" foreign policy can be seen right here at Walter Reed -- young men who returned from Iraq with their bodies shattered after George Bush had to do the job the Clinton Admin refused to.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
FReepmail me or post a reply to get on or off the list. You do NOT have to be in the DC area to be on the list. If you're interested in our activities, that's sufficient.
Click here for the thread with a report of last Friday's FReep of the Pinkos at Walter Reed and details about the planned FReep for Friday night.
You should also see the thread with the Drudge story if you haven't already (click here).
Injured Walter Reed patients, including amputees, have repeatedly told us how important it is for us to be there to counter Code Pink.
If we can sufficiently outnumber the leftists often enough, embarrassment may cause the leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" is one of their signs) demonstrations at the hospital.
The same FReepers are doing almost all of the these FReeps. We do so gladly as a labor of love for our brave troops fighting terrorists over there, instead of waiting for the terrorists to come here. We FReep especially for those wounded in combat. However, some FReepers' family vacations or other obligations may prevent some of them from coming this next Friday.
Our troops are bold enough to face bullets, mortars, IEDs, and suicide bombers. Are you bold enough to get out from behind the keyboard, FReep in person, and stand up for the wounded troops at Walter Reed?
If you're in the DC area and don't have family or work considerations that keep you from FReeping, can you spare a few hours on a Friday night? Will you?
For those of you who are in the DC area, you are invited to join us in a peaceful counterprotest to the Pinkos per the below thread. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it this Friday, Aug. 26 so maybe you could go in my place? Please do NOT go if you cannot control your temper and your actions when close to America-hating traitors.
Details as to the time and place can be found by clicking on the thread excerpted below.
FReep of Code Pink's Quagmire at Walter Reed, Aug 19 (Heavy graphics, Join us Aug 26!)
DC Chapter ^ | August 22, 2005 | BillF
Posted on 08/22/2005 12:39:11 AM PDT by BillF
For the twelfth week in a row, FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond have outnumbered Code Pinkos at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Code Pink is truly stuck in a quagmire as FReepers severely hinder the Pinkos' cynical attempts to manipulate wounded soldiers and relatives in hopes of finding those who will join the anti-war movement and break faith with the troops still fighting a ruthless enemy. Many of the most severely wounded troops from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are taken to Walter Reed for continued treatment and rehabilitation. The Pinkos other goal is too demoralize those wounded troops, but wounded troops have repeatedly thanked us for our presence as an antidote to the morale-sapping leftist antics.
Incredibly, Code Pink cannot muster enough people to achieve their desired fraud and deceit at their Walter Reed protest in the liberal bastion of Washington, DC, a city filled with left wing activists and where about 90 percent of the people voted against George Bush.
Do you think that the Pinkos are sickos to have an anti-war demonstration at a hospital holding war-wounded? Then please help us by showing up next Friday night per details below. Stand up against the Pinkos who've endorsed the Iraqi resistance (see here and here), given money to the other side in Fallujah, and called our troops "killers." Then, the Pinkos demonstrate at the hospital and pretend that they support our troops.
This was Eighteenth Fabulous Fun FReep of the Code Pinkos as FReepers continue to frustrate the Pinkos' evil scheme.
As we have done on a number of these FReeps, we ate pizza on site at the FReep.
(L-R) Nina0113, beandog, Landry Fan (sitting), BufordP, lurker Joan, Albion Wilde, Doctor Raoul, Marc Morano, Fraxinus, canine-American Vega, lurker Bill, and lurker Liz.
You are correct, McCarron, the real cost of this war can't be kept from the public. The real cost of this war sits on the head of the impeached X42, clinton.
Just as in Viet Nam, these demonstrations only encourage our enemies. These people know this - it's the reason they do it. Who's paying them?
Great job!
"It seem[ed] like I died and went to heaven," she reportedly said."
If Cuba, you ignorant ---t, is YOUR heaven, what pray tell is hell? -!
"The slugs are so big and squishy you could twist an ankle if you step on one."
Just d@mn!
If we had a hundred FReepers show up and peacefully counterprotest the leftists week after week, the Pinkos would likely be shamed out of continuing. There aren't enough FReepers showing up, but a very few FReepers now seem to advocate violence? It doesn't make sense.
Violence against peaceful protestors no matter how much you object to their message is immoral and illegal. Also, if we can't get enough people (i.e., as many as we would like to have) to show up now, does anyone think that violence would induce more people to come to a FReep?
I don't want to accuse any particular FReepers, but why would any FReeper want to do something so stupid as to advocate or commit violence? We are kicking Pinkos' tails peacefully, lawfully, and without interfering with their rights. We have completely blunted their messages and prevented them from succeeding in their fraudulent attempt to feign friendship with troops in attempts to "turn" troops against the war, the military, and the President.
When FReepers make foolish statements about committing violence, I have to wonder if they are not agent provocateurs of the left.
That was Drudge's lead from last night, before the CNSNews story was out. Drudge knew that it was coming.

Maggie's Medicaid: Stop pushing more ObamacareEDITORIAL
November 23. 2013 2:21AM
State Senate President Chuck Morse of Salem is to be commended for his attempt last week to rise above politics and provide better health care for more Granite Staters near the poverty line. That was clearly not the goal of Gov. Maggie Hassan and her Democrats, who were all about tying New Hampshire even tighter to the sinking ship that is Obamacare.
The Democrats have made it clear, locally and nationally, that they are uninterested in costs and efficiency and more interested in expanding their voting base as the Party of the Handouts.
That Gov. Hassan and Speaker Terie Norelli would keep pushing for Medicaid expansion even after the disastrous rollout of Obamacare this month is breathtaking.
That they were willing to set up New Hampshire for a broadbased tax (which would follow the inevitable under-funding of yet another federal program) was perhaps the least-noted but most onerous element of the Hassan-backed legislation.
Senators Morse, Jeb Bradley, and other Republicans tried to guard against that over-spending threat by proposing a move to private insurance and a circuit-breaker that would end the program if the feds broke their bargain.
Republicans would be wise to bring the broadbased tax issue front and center when the Democrats push for this spending expansion again in the new year. But perhaps Gov. Hassan, along with U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, will have wised up by then and realized that the toxic debacle that is Obamacare could threaten the reelection campaigns they had thought so secure.
