I'm glad to hear the Omega 8006 is holding up for you. I just ordered one for my husband who has been bedridden for 2 years with a non-specific autoimmune disorder. I ordered a press to use with it for maximum juice extraction, too, plus because we have lots of grapes and I thought I could use it for making grape juice.

I hope this email will get to someone who can get this possibility to the defense. I have been a nurse for 39 years, many of these in the nursery and neonatal intensive care. Has anyone considered the possibility that Andrew may have had Prater Willi syndrome? These kids eat everything and anything. Cupboards and refrigerators have been locked to keep them out of the food. They are insatiable. This is a genetic disease that can be tested for. This disese is NOT pica!

I think we should start a free Hannah movement nation wide. This case is a terrible miscarriage of justice. What galls me the most is that the Prosecuting Attorney withheld evidence and no action is being taken against her. She is still practicing law in the state of Texas.

I'm sorry for your on going troubles. But there isn't anything with DexCool coolant. Chemically & structurally specking it does exactly what it was designed for. BUT, in many 4.3 Chevy and the 2.8 liter V6's had 1. Intakes manifolds gaskets made out of plastic with rubber inserts? Sounds crazy huh? Yeah, it was truly stupid. Who-ever ideas it was should be shown the exit and now.

2.On some of the smaller like the 3800 V6 & the 3.1 liter engines had a intake manifold made out of a composite material. (It must of looked good on paper, ) But, it's job was to channel the air+fuel mixture down into the cylinders and have a good passage for the coolant to transfer from the right to the left bank in each heads. Problem ? Yeah, they did have anywhere to put the EGR valve, ( It's an emission part) so they designed a mounting place on the right side of the manifolds for the EGR valve. Now the EGR valve is a part that works with the exhaust gases, so it gets REAL hot at the EGR valve location. Fast back to the designers drafting table, and you'll notice that the 'Composite material' wasn't designed for that much heat. Exhaust gas at the engine is about 250 degrees, more or less, but it doesn't mean a thing since the manifolds all started over-heating burnt a hold through the side of the exhaust gases wall and coolant started into the cooling system. You can figure out how long it took for the engine to lock up. Totally shot. In fact, 'AutoZone' stocks a new designed manifold designed to increase the EGR weak spots. Wonderful product if you catch your leak in time. If not ? well it's a nice thought but you have bigger problem that this part is going to fix.

So to answer your original post, DexCool is a perfectly designed chemical. BUT it has and comes with two warnings, 1. once your coolant is getting near 5 years old IT MUST BE FLUSHED AND REFILLED WITH FRESH COOLANT. 2. If you try mixing Green (Ethylene Glycol) coolant you just killed you engine as the two coolants turn to mush once mixed and heated.Beyond that my friend, you OK for take off. Good luck !

The YOA such as it may be, is a joke! It is high time that the government got off its ass and did something. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about the rights of young offenders and these bleeding hearts about how these offenders are still young and a record will ruin thier future; if they commit a crime, then face the consequences, also thier records should not be esponged. Does anyone think about the victim? In many cases of sexual assault many victims are victimized again by the judicial system. What happened to the days of a kick in the ass, and in fact the strap in school. What has happened to society, when these young punks, oh I'm sorry, I should say young offenders that made a mistake and fell in with a bad crowd. If they are old enough to reel a knife or flaunt a gun and take an innocent person's rights away, then they should have their rights revoked; in fact, they should do what they do in Texas or Florida, try them as adults with adult consequences, but then again, in this country, criminals have it made. They go to prison and it's like going to a club, Pathetic! When will the provincial and federal government get off its ass?!

Typical reporting from the Star…

The article points out early on in the article that “A once-mighty industrial city is staggering because of the decline of the Big Three North American automakers and fierce global competition.”

Shortly after, “A popular bumper sticker reads “Out of a job, yet? Keep buying foreign!"”

It’s only at the very bottom of the article does it mention “militant local unions are scaring potential new companies away.” And even then, it’s the “Business leaders” who are the one’s saying this; not the everyday good citizens, but the suit and tie “business leaders.”

Well I’m not a “business leader,” and as someone who currently lives in Windsor, grew up in Windsor, and spent most of my life in Windsor, I’d have to say that a great deal of the problems facing Windsor today are because of the local unions and the culture of entitlement that they have cultivated over many years into the mindset of the community members.

You can see it at the Casino. The employees are all CAW. Many of them have the attitude that they get paid the same amount of money if they smile or not, so why should they bother with the whole ‘customer service bullshit’

Of course, none of this was explored in this article. It muddies the waters of good guys and bad guys.

Re: Tasermania

So do you think that in by-gone days before the taser the cops simply tried to sweet talk people into stopping whatever they were doing?

There was a reason the cops carried those big flashlights and that those flashlights had to be replaced on a regular basis.

The taser is a tool that didn’t live up to its billing as a non-lethal means of disabling suspects. It seems to be ineffective - incidents on the news about people being tasered mulpitple times to little or no effect - or being too effective as in the case in Vancouver airport.

But I wouldn’t be sounding an alarm about the police state creeping in. In the case at the airport and most other cases involving tasers, the matter would probably have been dealt with by a couple of high hard ones with a baton.

You’ve heard the saying of course that there’s lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Looking out those numbers, I am sure I’d die cycling down Bayview before I’d keel over in front of the toob, despite what the numbers say.

You might be surprised to hear it’s safer to ride a bike than to not ride a bike. In other words, you’re more likely to keel over dead from sitting in front of the Teevee than from riding a bike. Take a look at this table:

Cycling advocates’ favorite comparison of cycling’s collision risks.

Activity Fatalities per million hours activity

Skydiving 128.7

On-road motorcycling 8.8

Scuba diving 2.0

Living (all causes of death) 1.5

Snowmobiling 0.9

Passenger cars 0.5

Water skiing 0.3

Bicycling 0.3

Flying (scheduled domestic airlines) 0.2

Passenger car post-collision fire 0.0

Re: Had enough Potter yet?

MorganLighter — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 23:06:35 -0000

Tim - Are you upset because there was, in your estimation, too much hype over the last installment of the Harry Potter series? Do you know that fans have been waiting 2 1/2 years for this book to come out? Are you upset because J.K.Rowling is richer than rich? Have you read biographies/stories regarding her life and how the ideas for this series morphed into reality? What exactly has made you mad? Are you as upset by all the hype in the media over Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Brittney Spears, etc. Does the political bickering amongst the presidential candidates illicit the same angst you have about Harry Potter? It’s just a book, for crying out loud. Let it go.
