With the High Court in Mind, Challenges to the Health Bill Move Ahead
Posted Feb 1, 2011 3:50 AM CDT
By L.J. Jackson
The ink from president Barack Obama's pen hadn't dried on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act when the statute's opponents filed suit. "As soon as the pen hit the paper, we [electronically] filed our complaint," says Robert Muise, senior trial counsel with the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Thomas More Law Center.
U.S. District Judge George C. Steeh of Michigan's Eastern District dismissed that constitutional challenge to the landmark health care reform bill in October. And in December, a federal judge in Virginia's Western District dismissed a similar suit filed by Liberty University, a private Christian college founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell in Lynch burg, Va.
Soon after that ruling, the law's opponents took a step forward when a federal judge in Virginia's Eastern District allowed a lawsuit to proceed. The ruling in the suit, filed by Virginia Attorney General Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, held that a key provision requiring individuals to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty to the government "exceeds the constitutional boundaries of congressional power."
Meanwhile, in a November decision, an Ohio federal judge dismissed three counts of yet another complaint filed by the Akron-based U.S. Citizens Association, while allowing another count to proceed.
Since the bill became law in March, more than a dozen other lawsuits have been filed. Among them are a complaint filed in Florida on behalf of 20 state attorneys general. That case, too, is on a fast track for a ruling by its judge.
All these lawsuits challenge the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act's minimum coverage provision, which requires that nearly all uninsured Americans must purchase a basic health insurance policy or pay a tax penalty, beginning in 2014. The plaintiffs allege this "individual mandate" is, in effect, forcing customers to enter a commercial market against their will; the government argues that because everyone will get sick or injured, health care is a market they're already in.
"This bill is saying, "Be responsible adults; buy health insurance,' " says Tim Jost, a professor at Washington and Lee University School of Law and a health law specialist. "There are people saying, "If the government can make you buy health insurance, they can make you eat spinach.' Well, it's different."
Jost points to $43 billion a year in cost-shifting that occurs when people enter the market by consuming health care services they don't pay for. He notes the 50 million uninsured, a number that's increasing.
"We have a crisis and we have to do something about it," Jost says. "Congress has very broad discretion to regulate commerce. The legislation as written offers a coherent system that makes sense given the political realities."
But while the federal government claims the power to regulate health insurance under the commerce clause, the plaintiffs argue that Congress only has the right to regulate economic activity, not "inactivity," such as choosing not to purchase health insurance.
"This is the first time in our nation's history that Congress is forcing someone to engage in a commercial trans action they wouldn't otherwise engage in," Muise says.
In the first substantive ruling on the new law, Judge Steeh disagreed with the Thomas More Law Center, finding the commerce clause may be used to regulate economic decisions, whether intentional or not.
"The act regulates a broader interstate market in health care services ... and operates as an essential part of a comprehensive regulatory scheme," said Steeh in his opinion denying the plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction and dismissing the suit.
The Thomas More Center immediately appealed the decision, eager to take the case to the next level.
"I'm not displeased where we are," Muise says. "We purposely moved our case very quickly to get a ruling. This will all be a de novo review on the appellate level."
The Thomas More Law Center is a religious-based nonprofit firm that describes itself as the "Christian response to the ACLU," supporting "an independent and sovereign United States." Muise acknowledges that the legal attacks against health care reform fall along ideological lines, but he says everyone benefits when the Constitution provides a check on government.
"If the Republicans had passed this bill, we would have challenged it as well," Muise says.
Whatever the intent, the respective sides have aligned themselves politically.
No congressional Republican voted for the ACA, and all the attorneys general filing suit are Republicans. In the Florida case, Judge Roger Vinson of the Northern District was nominated by President Ronald Reagan, as was Judge David Dowd Jr. of the Northern District of Ohio. Judge Henry E. Hudson of Virginia's Eastern District was appointed by President George W. Bush.
Conversely, the two judges who dismissed the suits —Judge Steeh in Michigan and Judge Norman K. Moon of Virginia's Western District—were appointed by President Bill Clinton.
In his 42-page Dec. 14 ruling, Judge Hudson called the minimum coverage provision an "unchecked expansion of congressional power" that "would invite unbridled exercise of federal police powers."
Hudson differentiated between earlier commerce clause cases that dealt with a person's economic activity and the ACA, which punishes people who decline to participate. "At its core," Hudson wrote, "this dispute is not about regulating the business of insurance—or crafting a scheme of universal health insurance coverage—it's about an individual's right to choose to participate."
Cuccinelli says that although health care expenses are out of control and not everyone's needs are being met, "there are better solutions than giving up our freedom. The problem with health care costs is not that there is not enough government involvement. It is that there is too much government. It is time we took the power out of the hands of the politicians and put it in the hands of the consumer."
In Pensacola, Judge Vinson ruled Oct. 14 in favor of the state attorneys general on a motion to dismiss, and he criticized the federal government for its characterization of the tax penalty: "Congress should not be permitted to secure and cast politically difficult votes on controversial legislation by deliberately calling something one thing, after which the defenders of that legislation take an Alice in Wonderland tack and argue in court that Congress really meant something else entirely, thereby circumventing the safeguard that exists to keep their broad power in check."
Georgetown law professor Randy Barnett says the cases have focused public attention on the constitutional question so seriously that the Supreme Court might feel "obligated" to take a case on appeal, no matter what happens at the lower court level.
Acts of Congress usually enjoy a presumption of constitutionality, Barnett says, with federal courts "bending over backward" to uphold them, particularly popular social welfare reforms. But Obama's legislation has suffered attacks from both the right and the left. "The left wanted a single-payer system, not a subsidy to insurance companies, which this is," Barnett argues.
Architects of health care reform defend the individual mandate as the only way to get universal health coverage through private insurance, arguing that if you require private insurers to cover people with pre-existing conditions, you must also require healthy people to participate in the market, as a financial counter balance.
"No one would disagree there's a problem with the health care system, but that doesn't mean you throw away the Constitution to resolve it," Muise counters.
Health care reform opponents have ratcheted up the rhetoric as the lawsuits gain momentum, framing the legal battles as a Manichean struggle and seizing the chance to score political points with a conservative base.
Opponents of the ACA hope that if any of their constitutional arguments succeed, the lack of a severability clause will kill the entire 2,000-plus-page bill.
"Arguments that the bill is unconstitutional feed its unpopularity, and its unpopularity feeds courts' willingness to actually find it unconstitutional," Barnett says.
While he concedes the Supreme Court regularly treads new constitutional ground, Barnett doesn't believe the justices are willing to "give Congress more power than they've ever given it before" under the commerce clause.
The plaintiffs are fighting their battles in the lower courts but have set their sights on the high court to resolve the constitutional question.
"Today we prevailed," said Cuccinelli at a press conference. "This won't be the final round, as this will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court."

This is where Kimani was shot yesterday by the NYPD. Over 200 people gathered today to protest his death. Police escalated the situation and a riot broke out. Several store windows were broken and bottles + rocks were thrown at police.
Protesters will be gathering tomorrow as well, time and place is still being discussed. I'll post an update as soon as there's more news.

You will always find a character within the group turns themselves into a walking hardware store. Most DM's I've come across in the past do not really care just how much a player carries until it gets to the stage where they are trying to walk away from a battlefield carrying the King of Jobrovia's personal security teams power armour in their rucksack.
What has always amazed me is that they go into so much detail in what they are carrying, what it's stats may be and how it looks that they completely 'forget' how heavy the item is or for that matter just how big it is.
I've seen players trying to go dungeoneering whilst carrying a ladder and two ten foot long poles each and then conveniently forget about them the moment they get attacked or they start off down the tiny side tunnel that leads them to the gold.
So what normal items have you found your players trying to hide upon their person or get away with carrying lots of in your campaigns?
Over the years I've managed to get a Top Five list of items that I cannot go a game without a player at some point trying to get away with carrying them.
- Ten foot pole. It's self explanatory really. I mean how many people can walk through a forest, go into a dungeon or even wander about town with a ten foot long pole in their hand or attached to their pack and not have a great deal of difficulty? There is a reason why most players do not pick pole arms as a primary weapon and it just so happens it's the same one as why people don't walk about with poles!
- Ladder. For the exact same reason as the pole except that its even bigger. Unless your player is a window cleaner then he's not going to be carrying one around with him where ever he goes.
- 50′ Rope. OK so it's far more portable than the pole or ladder ever will be but if they claim to be carrying it on their person you need to remind them just how bulky that rope is. You also might want to remind them that 50′ isn't really that long once you get down to it. By the time you've found something to tie it to as well as tie a decent knot they will be left a lot less than the initial 50′ they thought they had. They might catch on to this though and pick up an extra length of rope. That's when you remind them again just how bulky that stuff is. It's a whole other ballgame in sci-fi campaigns.
- Ammo. It doesn't matter what your setting is at least one player will always try to find space to take 50 arrows in to combat or 1000 rounds of ammo for their assault rifle. That's a hell of a big quiver in anyone's books and an normal combat loadout is usually more like 250 rounds with the rest being left back at home as those bullets are heavy!
- Sorrell Nuts. This one is actually a personal peeve from years ago whilst I still regularly played Rolemaster. One of the players favorite healing and resurrection methods involved a sorrell nut. They were expensive and hard to come by but over the years in game one of the players learned to cultivate and grow the plant needed for this item. From what I recall the weight and size were negligible and so no figures were ever given in the rule books. This meant that the player had a stash of several thousand nuts on him at any one time and sold them off to the local townsfolk. The DM read the ruling as they were that small the player could hold as many as he wanted and the only limiting factor the player ever had was on how much gold he could carry to his tavern at night after selling them that day.
So what has been your bugbear over the years with your players equipment lists?

Amy was a poor orphan
who lived on the streets of Rouen. Her parents died of a plague that had
spread across all of Europe during this time period. She had no other family
to go to after the lost of her parents. One day she came across a man named
who was being chased by the local authorities. She hid Raphael from the
soldiers who were pursuing him; she hid him only through spite to the soldiers,
who ran her poverty stricken town. As Raphael had never owed his life to
anyone before, he felt he must protect and repay her. He felt something
he never had before for Amy, so took her in to his home and looked after
her as his own daughter, to repay her for the kindness she had shown to
Raphael returned from
a vicious battle with the wielder of Soul Edge, Nightmare. Raphael collapsed
before Amy's eyes and she nursed him back to consciousness. When he came
round he told her that through the battle he had become infected by the
evil seed, and by handling his blood, she was also now infected. Amy had
always found it hard to open her heart to the world, but now she couldn't
even try because she was too different from everyone else. She was no longer
human. She went with Raphael to the castle he bought in Romania. She sat
in a dim room seeing the torchs and troops gathering there. Raphael left,
saying he will be out for a while. He took care of the troops and the noises
ceased. But eventually they returned, but he didn't. he left her. And now
the noises and light spread violently in the world he made, bringing it
to ruins. She stood up and went to the exit. She bitten the words from
those days and smiled. For she must protect this world that he made.

enough from Rafael's to make her an original character on the roster, but overall, her style

she became a playable character. Her design

The film Theirs Is the Glory, produced in 1946, was the first significant effort to chronicle the gallant stand of the British 1st Airborne Division, including 2 Wings of the Glider Pilot Regiment and the 1st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade Group in the battle of Arnhem (Operation Market Garden) which lasted from 17 September to 25 September 1944. It preceded the epic film A Bridge Too Far by 31 years.
It was a unique production in many respects, not the least of which was it was actually filmed on the war-torn site of the battle, used as 'actors' only actual participants in the battle, and was jointly produced by the J Arthur Rank Organization and the British Army's Film and Photographic Unit (APFU). Some of the cast members having been only recently released from POW camps.
Among the persons appearing in the movie were, Lt. Hugh Ashmore, Maj CFH "Freddie" Gough, Maj Richard "Dickie" Lonsdale, Mrs. Kate ter Horst, Pte Tommy Scullion of County Antrim, Pte Peter Holt from Middlesex, Pte David Parker from Scotland, Cpl Pearce from Wales, Pte George 'Titch' Preston from Grimsby, Pte Frank 'Butch' Dixon (proven lethal with a PIAT), Sgt John Daley of Waterford, and war correspondents Stanley Maxted and Alan Wood. In addition the total cast was comprised of other paratroopers, gunners, sappers, RAMC, RASC, reconnaissance squadron and the glider pilots, all veterans of the battle. Each member was paid £3.0s.0d. per day by the Rank Organisation.
The movie had simultaneous premieres in Ottawa, Arnhem and the Gaumont Theatre in the Haymarket London on the second anniversary of the start of the battle, 17 September 1946.
Originally in VHS format from 1987 and more recently on DVD, it is currently unavailable. A detailed article on the making of the film was contained in After the Battle Magazine, Issue number 58.

Extermination of two million European Jews confirmed just prior to GA 70 years ago
By DAVID GEFFEN
11/10/2013 06:00
Participants in this year's GA should keep in mind that there is an Israel, and there are Jewish communities the world over.

As the JFNA 's General Assembly convenes in Jerusalem this week, it is worth recalling that 70 years ago, shortly after news of the Nazi genocide became public in the US, a critical General Assembly of the CJF (the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, as the JFNA was known then) was gathering in Cleveland, Ohio.
The American Jewish Yearbook in 1943 noted that there were 80,000 Jews in Cleveland – the same location as the founding GA in 1932 – and five million Jews in the USA . Of those, 300,000 women and men were serving in the armed forces.
Completing his first year as president of the council, Sidney Hollander of Baltimore – a forceful leader working diligently to protect and maintain the strength of the American Jewish community – knew that this GA had to activate the members of the 185 communities who were attending.
Noted leaders like rabbis Abba Hillel Silver and Stephen Wise were calling on American Jews to use their influence to persuade president Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Congress to attempt to save the Jews of Europe whom Hitler and the Nazis were murdering unmercifully. Silver was also the major American advocate for establishing a Jewish state in Mandatory Palestine.
As the Cleveland GA of 1943, with its 465 delegates, got under way in the second week of January, Atlanta Jewish newspaper The Southern Israelite carried a bold headline reading "Europe Jewry faces darkest year."
"Leaders of the United Nations...
in reviewing the past year emphasized the fact that one half of [the four million] civilians killed were 2 million Jews," the paper reported.
"The number of persons massacred by the Nazis in occupied countries is larger than the number of men killed on the battlefields."
Only a month earlier, in December 1942, the American government had permitted the first public announcement of the systematic destruction of two million Jews.
Although Roosevelt had received the information in August 1942, he wanted it confirmed before allowing Wise to make it public. Starting in early December, the rabbi moved heaven and earth to awaken American Jewry in particular, and Americans in general, to this ongoing slaughter. He held a public news conference that month that the The New York Times covered but put on Page 10. Meanwhile, details of the murder of European Jews could be found in every Anglo-Jewish newspaper in December 1942 and January 1943.
In his opening address at the GA, Hollander postulated the requirements for stable communities where social agencies thrived with efficient budgeting. He was overwhelmed by his personal anxiety, fully aware that Jews were being slaughtered.
"We gather in Cleveland at a time which is much more problematic for us as a people than was the Depression when the GA of 1932, born here in Cleveland, took its pioneering steps toward becoming a major body in American Jewish life," he said. "Friends, we have to be strong at home, able to assist our nation and all the Jews in the service to win this war. Moreover, there is a growing awareness on the part of our community that the rescue of the Jews in Europe will be our task. The demonic Hitler knows nothing but to kill the innocent. He and his forces must be stopped by [the] Allies, or else the tragedy will grow in proportions even outside of Europe."
Hollander declared that one of the most important problems American Jewish life was facing at that time was organization. "This was not always the case, because America is noted for its rugged individualism, and each new Jewish group followed suit, proclaiming, 'We are the one.'" However, he continued, "as the Jewish community in USA became more homogeneous and as common needs became more pressing, the tendency toward some sort of communal cooperation began to grow. This is true in our general communities, but it is even more significant for our Jewish community.
That is why the CJF was founded just over a decade ago and has grown exponentially since then."
He then stressed his major point, the theme of the gathering: "Without unity among all the Jewish groups operating in America today, we will not be able to provide services for those who need it the most, be they civilians or in the military."
For many months, the CJF had been working with the Jewish Welfare Board, the American Association for Jewish Education and the Synagogue Council of America to establish a unified core of action in the field of civic education and enlightenment. Additionally Hollander and his negotiating team had spent many hours with leaders of the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee and Congress to fashion a unified plan of civic protection.
As has been the case many times in Jewish history, there were naysayers, so the desperately needed unity could not be finalized at the 1943 GA. However, pressures were so strong after the Cleveland meeting that by March unification did exist.
As the leading American Zionist figure calling for the immediate establishment of a Jewish state following the war, Silver – who was co-chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, the major American fund-raising arm that for many years now has been a part of the JFNA – recognized that he dare not push that agenda at the GA. Instead, he noted that the UJA was "eager to enter a united front with all agencies working diligently in the field of humanitarian efforts."
Later that year, he became co-chairman of the American Zionist Emergency Council with Wise.
This important group led the battle in the US and UN for the creation of Israel.
Practically every day of 1943 made a major impact on world Jewry. UJA campaigns 70 years ago led with the statement "We cannot let the two million European Jews die in vain."
Sadly, as is well known, the final number of dead was six million.
As the participants in this year's GA gather in Jerusalem, delegates should keep in mind that there is an Israel, and there are Jewish communities the world over. And together, they can insure our future.

Serpico: Pacino was better than me (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Serpico: Pacino was better than me
8:36am Monday 24th December 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Police whistleblower Frank Serpico has said Al Pacino played him better than he did himself.
Pacino played the New York City detective who exposed widespread police corruption in the 1973 movie Serpico.
Serpico, 76, spoke to The Daily News in Ghent, in New York's Hudson Valley, weeks after the death of fellow whistleblowing ex-detective David Durk.
He smiled as an interviewer noted he was ranked No 41, just behind Lassie, on the American Film Institute's list of movie heroes. He said that was "good company".
Serpico keeps busy trying to finish a book and taking solitary walks, according to interview.
Serpico and Durk's efforts resulted in front-page headlines and a city panel that recommended reforms to prevent police corruption.

During Wednesday's individual time trial at the Tour de France, a fan threw urine on 24-time stage winner Mark Cavendish. The rider from Manx originally thought it was water being sprayed on him, but, unfortunately, the taste of the liquid in question told him otherwise.
Cavendish declined comment afterward, but Omega Pharma-Quickstep team manager, Patrick Lefevere, said the sprinter wasn't pissed, just sad.
"I regret this, I always felt that cycling fans were gentlemen, enthusiastic people. Mark is sad, he's not upset, just sad. I cannot blame anyone, there are 100,000 or 200,000 people on the road, and one person decided to do this."
Cavendish's teammate, France's Jerome Pineau, tweeted, "Ashamed when my friend Mark Cavendish tells me he has been whistled and even sprayed with urine on the course. It's scandalous."
The incident comes just a day after Cavendish collided with Tom Veelers before the finish in Stage 10, causing the Dutch rider to crash hard. Race officials ruled Cavendish did nothing wrong, but when he tried to call Veelers to say sorry, Veelers reportedly ignored it, and instead requested an in-person apology.
"He is really disappointed. He's more down because he thinks, and I think he's right, he didn't deserve it."
Lefevere added: "He can maybe have a handshake tomorrow morning with Tom Veelers if he agrees with this. This case has to be closed."
This is hardly the first time a rider has been assaulted at the Tour, something the sport's most infamous champion knows all too well, having received death threats in 2004.
@dwuori why all the sudden shock and outrage. this has been happening for 100 years in some form or another. piss, spit, fists, etc.— Lance Armstrong (@lancearmstrong) July 10, 2013
Indeed, riders have been punched, doused with wine, taunted with raw meat, sabotaged with tacks, and even shot with an air rifle.
Truly, a sport of the gods.

On Tuesday, illusionist and magician David Blaine has a special on ABC called David Blaine: Real or Magic. Among the celebrities appearing on the show are Jamie Foxx, Ricky Gervais, Katy Perry, Woody Allen, Will Smith, and Robert DeNiro. For our purposes, however, nothing is likely to top seeing Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston together again, in somebody's living room, hanging out with Blaine, who does a card trick that pretty much blows their minds. Paul's response to the trick is pretty much that of Jesse Pinkman discovering how awesome magnets are.
We don't see the entire magic trick, but we see the reveal, and you can figure out the rest from the context, and yes, it's pretty goddamn awesome. As Aaron Paul says, "WOW, wow, wow, holy BLEEEEEEP BLEEP BLEEP."

The Arizona Cardinals were supposed to compete in a weak NFC West after acquiring Kevin Kolb in a trade, but they appear to be fading fast. With the San Fransisco 49ers at 5-1, about nothing short of perfection is going to get the Cardinals a division title this season. It's Week 7, and they're already facing a must-win game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
For the Steelers, most of their games are must-win despite their above-.500 record. The Cincinnati Bengals have been surprisingly solid, while the Baltimore Ravens should be neck and neck with them throughout the season. They're heavy favorites in this one, and while Larry Fitzgerald has the ability to break any game wide open, it would be surprising if the Steelers failed to win this one.
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 23, 4:15 P.M. ET
Location: University Of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Arizona
TV Schedule
Announcers: Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf
TV Distribution Map: The506.com
Radio Schedule
Cardinals: KZUA 92.1 FM
Steelers: WDVE 102.5 FM/970 ESPN

What to remember/ Making it stop
Have courage and strength in all your actions.
If you can minimize the distractions,
you could experience a profound shift that can positively impact all aspects of your life.
The quiet terror
'Then there is this: in some way, the quiet terror of severe depression never entirely passes once you've experienced it. It hovers behind the scenes, placated temporarily by medication and renewed energy, waiting to slither back in, unnoticed by others. It sits in the space behind your eyes, making its presence felt even in those moments when other, lighter matters are at the forefront of your mind. It tugs at you, keeping you from ever being fully at ease. Worst of all, it honours no season and respects no calendar; it arrives precisely when it feels like it.'
- Daphne Merkin on her forty year battle with depression – as published in The Observer
What will it take this time?
"What price must I pay
and what burdens must I bear
for you to love me?"
- Tyler Knott Gregson
"People say, 'there are other fish in the sea'. I say, 'fuck you. She was my sea.'" – Jen Faulkner
"Reach inside of me
squeeze the scream out of my heart.
Breathe silence back in."
- Tyler Knott Gregson
"It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing. It hurts so much."
You said you thought you didn't make a differnce. Oh sweet love, you ARE the difference.
Who are you now?
I thought I knew you. You had my heart. I thought you knew that.
How hard is it not to? How easy?
And I miss you. I miss you desperately.
In your pocket
Keep me in your pocket tonight.
Now and again you may remember
to let your fingers slip inside and touch my breath,
rising to kiss the skin of your palm.
The taste of love
At the end of the day I am still convinced that love really is all you need. Why? Because it's 9:47pm on one of the shittiest days I have seen in a long time. I am sitting at my desk at work trying to get through a project from hell when the little guy who works here comes to me with a plate of steaming Maggi noodles. He looks at me, shy and uncertain and says, "You haven't eaten anything all day. Please have some of my dinner."
It's disgusting stuff, but I couldn't have asked for a more satisfying meal. I now know what love tastes like. It tastes like Maggi noodles.

general meeting for Pewaukee Lake Water Ski Club
Many may not think about what a Water Ski Club may have to do now when it is so cold and even getting some nasty weather, but the Pewaukee Lake Water Ski Club, Inc. operates as a year-round commitment towards putting on the best possible presentation starting Memorial Day as possible. As part of this undertaking, the Club holds monthly meetings at the Sandbar Sports Pub in the Chill level with one of the group rooms.
The group is a 501c3 organization and relies on the public to determine the level of support into the family-friendly pastime and entertainment. This is the time of year that the Club moves to make major shaping on what will be possible in the following year. Based on what the membership is able to acomplish in the next half of a year will determine what is provided in the show come Memorial Day.
The monthy meetings are routinely the 1st Sunday of every month at 6:30. The up and coming meeting from the time this blog posting was submitted would be this Sunday, Nov. 4th @ 6:30 Sandbar Sports Pub Chill level group room.
If you can make it to this meeting, please do let us know.
The Club is fortunate to have a good base of water skiing talent which has made the last couple of years absolutely remarkable for the last couple of years. This puts the Club pretty comfortable on having the skiers needed to put on a high-caliber show each week, and some weeks multiple times. Anyone thinking that they would be tremendously dedicated and amazing to the team of skiers is welcomed to inquire with the Show Director or Membership Director towards assessing possibilities and limitations with that as trying towards a skiing position.
The area with more room for growth with this Club is in the area of non-skiing members. The Club very much welcomes volunteers who don't expect to ski but would enjoy being a part of this Club socially throughout the year as well as regularly pitching in to take care of the many elements existing to run this expansive organization.
The areas for volunteers can be like costumes, script production, music coordination, sound system, transportation for trailers and other equipment, work days, event coordination, boat teams, ropes, pier, and more.
Again, feel free to learn more and stay connected to the Pewaukee Lake Water Ski Club. We appreciate any and all support you can provide towards 2013.

Investing.com - NYMEX crude prices rose in Asian trading hours on Friday after data revealed the U.S. economy grew at a healthy clip in the fourth quarter of last year.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate crude for delivery in March traded at USD98.07 a barrel during Asian trading, up 0.13%.
On Thursday the New York-traded oil futures hit a session low of USD97.91 a barrel and a high of USD98.15 a barrel. The March contract settled at USD97.95 a barrel.
Nymex oil futures were likely to find support at USD95.22 a barrel, Monday''s low, and resistance at USD98.96 a barrel, the high from Jan. 2.
Oil prices gained after the Commerce Department said gross domestic product expanded 3.2% in the three months to December, in line with most forecasts, even outpacing some, following a 4.1% rise in the third quarter.
Exports grew by 11.4%, while federal consumption decreased, which drew particular applause by fanning hopes the private sector will fuel more growth going forward.
The data showed personal consumption grew 3.3% in the three months ended Dec. 31, the biggest increase in three years.
Oil traders shrugged off data confirming a contraction in China's manufacturing sector. China's final HSBC Purchasing Managers Index released earlier fell to a six-month low of 49.5 in January from a preliminary reading of 49.6 and down from 50.5 in December.
Elsewhere, on the ICE Futures Exchange in London, Brent oil futures for March delivery were down 0.16% and trading at 107.71 a barrel, while the spread between the Brent and U.S. crude contracts stood at USD9.64 a barrel.

SOCIAL CIRCLE -- There are great opportunities all across the state for catfish angling, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division.
Hello folks, Ole' Tight Line here,
The sighting, though a seemingly rare experience for metro Atlantans, comes as no surprise given that seasonal bear activity is increasing. This time of year, young male bears are roaming and often stumbling into what's considered non-traditional bear range, including urbanized areas.
ATLANTA - The public can again follow the private lives of downtown Atlanta's most prolific peregrine falcons.
Well, hello my friends, Ole' Tight Line here. I'm sorry I missed you all last weekend, but I'm happy to report there was some good catches around the coastal area and Yellow Bluff Marina.
SOCIAL CIRCLE - A survey of an unusual Coastal Plain habitat in Georgia will provide new information about rare species such as the gopher tortoise, Georgia's state reptile.
SOCIAL CIRCLE - This year's summer exhibition at the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington will focus on sustainability by showcasing displays by organizations from around the world, including one from Georgia.
The web-like masses you see in tree branches every spring are the handiwork of eastern tent caterpillars. After over-wintering as a little black blob of eggs, hundreds of hairy caterpillars hatch out and form a silky nest. Although common, the larvae are quite beautiful: black with white, orange and yellow stripes, plus pale blue blotches on the sides.
Sapelo Island enables visitors to see virtually every facet of a barrier island's natural community, from the diversified wildlife of the forested uplands, to the vast expanses of salt marsh and the complex beach and dunes systems. The Visitor Center, located near the mainland ferry dock, brings to life both the natural and cultural history of Sapelo, while guided tours of the island enable visitors to experience the African-American community of Hog Hammock, the University of Georgia Marine Institute, and the Reynolds Mansion.
Hello friends, ole' Tight Line here. With last week's windy weather we didn't get much fishing done, but we still have a few good reports to give you from Yellow Bluff.
ITHACA, N.Y. - What could be cuter than baby birds all atwitter in the nest? But amid the "oohs" and "aahs" are real data about the rhythms of bird biology and how they may be changing as the result of human activity.
BUFORD - Spring is a great time to observe many species of colorful birds known as neotropical migrants.
WAYCROSS - Last year's efforts to eradicate the unwelcome, invasive flathead catfish from the Satilla River resulted in the removal of exactly 4,399 of the fish.
BRUNSWICK - After spending the winter in the warm waters off Georgia and Florida, North Atlantic right whales are heading north for the summer.
SOCIAL CIRCLE - The distinctive call of the coyote or "song dog" can be heard all across our state, from the more welcoming rural areas of wooded forests and open fields to the less inviting backyards of metro Atlanta neighborhoods.
SOCIAL CIRCLE - Georgians have the chance to win a lifetime hunting-and-fishing license in the next edition of the Lifetime License Contest sponsored by the Georgia Natural Resources Foundation.
Acclaimed photographer John Reed will present his End of Summer Nature Photography Workshop on Sept. 13-14 at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge near Folkston.

My husband and I had a wonderful time. Free street parking was available, the dinner had great service, and the beef was one of the best steaks I've ever had (my husband had the salmon, good but not outstanding like my steak).

Media event set for September 9, launch likely ~10 days later.
Apple Suspends iCloud/MobileMe Push Email in Germany Due to Lawsuit
Affected customers will still receive iCloud and MobileMe email, but new messages will be downloaded to their devices when the Mail app is opened, or when their device periodically fetches new messages as configured in iOS Settings. Push email service on desktop computers, laptop computers, and the web is unaffected, as is service from other providers such as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.Mail services are otherwise available for both iCloud and MobileMe, but mail must be fetched manually or at a certain interval of time.
Motorola won the injunction in early February, and was able to enforce it by posting a 100 million euro bond. Apple is appealing the decision and Motorola may be liable for some amount of damages if it is later overturned. Apple states in the support document that it believes Motorola's patent is invalid and is appealing the decision.
Top Rated Comments(View all)
Yeah, why don't just sue Google over their Google Sync Push Mail too?
Cause Google owns Motorola now?
Unfortunately, it can't go both ways. Apple can't sue everyone else, play industry victim to "copying" and "only enforcing the right to defend its own IP" and then not suffer the consequences when they violate someone else's IP. Apple isn't the only IP owner in the world.
This is why patents have forever been a MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) type weapon. You bring them out in defense of yourself, not in offense against competitors. Otherwise, you get the situation we're in now.
And don't get me wrong, Motorola, Google, Apple, Nokia, Kodak, RIM, Microsoft, name the corporation, I don't care whether they win or lose. In the end, the true loser is the consumer, us.
Really? Seriously, I didn't know that.
Really : http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/kodak-wins-again-over-apple-rim-in-itc-patent-ruling/51776
And there you discovered the entire "reason" for this lawsuit.
Google's thugs strike again.
The lawsuit was filed prior to the acquisition. And to call Google thugs after Apple's actions against Samsung and others these last years is quite ridiculous. They're all thugs, and the consumer is the victim.
This is getting old. It's about time that Apple does something with that billions of dollars. Why did they let Google snug away with Motorola. Apple could see this coming for miles but still they're acting like a little school kid that wants to be right at everything you throw at him. This is crippling the iCloud service in a big way. No push email on iPhone with iCloud is a huge deal. I'm really starting to wonder why all tech companies are bashing on Apple this hard. Is it just because they know a big jar of honey is in Apple's faults or is it because of Apple's notoriously bad licensing habits. I bet it's a combination of both. Good times to be a lawyer firm working for Apple.
Probably because people are fed up of Apple thinking they can bully their way into getting what they want (read on before being a down-vote-fool). The Samsung cases and Kodak lawsuit are prime examples of why some people hate Apple, and you cant really blame them. Apple spent years putting the likes of IBM and Microsoft down for the exact same thing that they have now become.
Thats not to say its Apple's fault. They create a successful series of products and everyone tries to grab a bit of the pie. Apple's problem is that they wont deviate from it's strict "We will have everything, and only us. If anyone copies us we will destroy them!" thinking. They should really be thinking "Ok, someone has a similar product or idea to us. Lets see if we can make ours better to make theirs look inferior".
Whatever you think about Apple, Google, Samsung or Motorola, they are ALL as bad as each other. If they all stopped this crap and just got on at what they did best (compete to make excellent products) then they would rake in a hell of a lot more money and have happy consumers.
And there you discovered the entire "reason" for this lawsuit.
Google's thugs strike again.
Yeah because Apple never bullies other companies :rolleyes:
I'd love to feel sorry for Apple, but frankly I lost all respect for them after reading http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/15/apple-seeks-bankruptcy-courts-blessing-to-sue-kodak-over-patents/
Time for Apple to grow up, and stop trying to bully/beat people in the courtrooms. Do it with better products.
Before Apple entered the phone market, most damn handsets looked similar for gods sake, now they are suing each other over BS.
The IP system is broken, the only people benefiting from all this crap are the lawyers.
I live in Germany, and I am signed up to iCloud, but I have not been contacted in any way by Apple to let me know about this, which is a bit annoying. If I were to rely on iCloud for business, I'd be genuinely pissed.
They probably emailed it to you, but it didn't get pushed to your phone. :)
Boycot @motorola products, once an innovator now patent troll http://bit.ly/A0FE0c
The only one allowed to defend their IP is Apple?

No real improvements to our two dreadful areas, the offensive line and the defensive backfield. yes, McKinnie and Madieu are now gone but we did nothing substantive in either of these areas. The same safeties (TJ, HA, and JS) who have been sucking it up for three years. An offensive line that's dreadful but maybe made less dreadful now that McKinnie is out.
We could not have drafted a potential starter or signed a FA to give us a few years. Look how Philly filled their holes! Yes, we drafted BPA in many cases - and we were up against the salary cap - but still think it was possible to do something big.
In a passing league I don't understand why Frazier has never put together a competent secondary. The lack of anyone who can cover will be the death of this team - or at least prevent us from post season playl.

Space filling curves: two and a half questions
I've been reading a bit on these, not in a rigorous way yet, and it's an enjoyable read. But now I've a few questions.
As I understand it, they allow for a continuous index set in [tex]\Re[/tex] to completely cover a higher dimensional [tex]\Re[/tex][tex]^{n}[/tex]. Everywhere continuous, but nowhere differentiable, so it can't be used to represent the codomain in any way. That's kind of what non-holomorphic means, yes? That's sort of disappointing, but it also sort of makes sense.
There can be many space filling curves for the same space - infinitely many, right? I think there should be uncountably many, but I'm not sure about that, which is question 1. If so, I'd expect it could be possible for at least one such curve to be differentiable somewhere, even if only in a tiny little corner. Is this possible? That's question 2. Is there any loophole in "nowhere differentiable" that might work out as "somewhere, but not elsewhere." If the answer to question 2 is yes, which I'm not expecting, then question 3 is if that tiny section might ever possibly be smooth.
Thanks much.
Re: Space filling curves: two and a half questions
I don't know much about holomorphic stuff but it should be quite obvious that there are infinitely many (uncountably) space filling curves.. For instance, you can just re-parametrize the curve and compose different space filing curves in various ways (one to fill the lower left corner, the other the top left corner... etc). That'll only score you countably many curves though. But you can mix things up so that the curve at 1 is at a different position each time, then take the limit of certain curve compositions, that'll give you uncountably many.
Of course differentiability is possible since you can just put two curves on top of each other and whatever that differentiable piece doesn't cover, it'll be covered by the other piece. Further, anything curve higher or equal to C1 will fail to cover space, simply due to inverse function theorem.
Re: Space filling curves: two and a half questions
I learned today that there are terms "nowhere" differentiable, almost "nowhere", and "almost everywhere." That was the thought I was trying to get at.

The 2010 Season is upon us and WOW does it feel different.
I want to sum up a few thoughts that I have had over the past few weeks as I anxiously anticipate Football 2010.
- I am finally ready to face the fact that McNabb is gone. (Took me a bit.) I am a conservative person by nature. I dont like change, and McNabb had been the face of this franchise for so long, that the sentimental value of him on our team weighed heavily on me. I'm 28 years old, so McNabb has been the face of my Eagles for most of my football years. With that said...I'm also all about winning. I am very competitive, and I know that we did make a good move. It definitetly made sense. Hell I even cheered when we brought Baskett back. I just like Eagles to stay Eagles. Win, lose or draw (yes Donny, you can draw) I am now excited to get behind the new Eagles. So Yea........I am ready for King Kolb.
- Our 2010 Schedule is going to be brutal. I do like a few things about it though. The first being that we start our season at home. I think that putting Kolb on the road his first game as the full time starter would just add a ton of pressure. I think that works to our advantage. The second "bright spot" is playing Indy the week after our Bye, and at home. Indy also plays on a short week which is nice. Could we really draw it up better when playing against a team as good as Indy? And third....the final game of the season....at home. I like how the week 17 Matchup is becoming a tradition of Eagles vs Boys. It's meant something the last 2 years, and the home team has won it both times. I like having that game at home.
- Has there ever been a year where you've been this excited AND nervous? I cant think of a time I've felt the way I do now. NERVOUS:. 1. We have a ton of youth and unknown. That in itself is nerve racking...and exciting. 2. The injury bug. I just want to take a healthy team into this year. I dont think we got a fair crack at things last year. EXCITED: Has there ever been a team as young AND as skilled?
- BGN Bowl 2? July 30th was thrown around. But it doesnt seem like that will turn into anything. (Unless I've missed something.) I may just put my party planning hat on and get this this moving. I want to play again....and I want there to be A temperature. 0 just isnt comfortable.
- Lastly....I am really looking forward to another year here on BGN. I have learned a lot about the game, the Eagles, the NFL and the Philly fans because of this site. As a resident of Maryland since I was 8 years old, I dont have the comfort that some of you enjoy of living in the midst of Eagles Country. (I know more about the Ravens than I care to.) So I thank you, BGN. For giving me my Philly-Phaithful Oxygen that I need to continue my Eagles obsession.
Sorry for the Hodgepodge of thoughts. I've not been around as much to share these thoughts independantly!

From Hoopsworld
The Los Angeles Clippers held a press conference on Thursday afternoon to announce the signing of Baron Davis. In the middle of the action is President Andy Roeser who took a moment to speak with HOOPSWORLD:
I spoke with you last season when we talked about as a fallback, if Elton Brand and Corey Maggette leave; you have more cap room than almost anybody in the league. Here you are and you have Baron Davis and $12 million. It may not be the worst case scenario in that you do have some potential moving forward.
We start with a terrific center in Chris Kaman and a fabulous point guard in Baron Davis. We still have a little bit more work to do. We're armed with $12 million in cap space and kind of a blank check commitment from our ownership to do what needs to be done to put the best team out there for us. We're going to get it done.
How tricky is it to lure a restricted free agent. Talk to me about the hurdles you face.
We're going to take a step back right now and evaluate what move is best for us now. There are some restricted free agents of interest out there. I think people know that we met with Josh Smith and his representatives last night and that's something we will consider.
So an offer hasn't been made as of yet?
We have not extended any offers at this juncture. I think it's important for our basketball staff to just - this is our day to welcome Baron Davis back to Los Angeles - and then I think for our basketball staff to step back and evaluate where we are and what the best alternatives for us going forward are. I am confident when we're done with that process, that we'll finish the job and put together a team we'll all be excited to watch play this fall.
Could you conceivably wait a year for the cap room because there might be more attractive free agents next year or do you think this year the money will be spent?
I think that the most important thing for us right now is to make sure that we put the best team possible out for this coming season. Bringing Baron Davis here gives us an opportunity to play an exciting brand of basketball get up and down - and to win. He came here to win. We want to win. Our intention is put the best team on the court this year so that we can. Toward that end we'll spending whatever is necessary in order to make that happen.
Do you have in your head or in your mind maybe an answer as to why it worked out the way it did with Elton, specifically why he left? What was his motivation? Can you only guess?
You know I don't know. I don't think it does any good to guess. For me it's a little bit of a mystery. I think the best on and the only one who can answer that is Elton for himself. From our perspective we were a little disappointed to hear his decision to go to Philadelphia. But at the end of the day if that's his decision - you have to respect his decision, wish him well and we have to move on and do what we have to do to move our team move forward
I hope he's happy with his decision - I'm confident it will work out for us.
Was the option of giving Brand a sixth year was untenable?
We at every step of the way we gave them everything they asked for and more. It wasn't enough. I don't think there's any benefit in going through any of that.
Was it difficult to renounce the rights to Shaun Livingston after what's he's gone through?
I'd like to say something about that. Our decision to renounce Shaun is purely a salary cap maneuver. It has nothing to do with our intention to re-sign Shaun. Shaun was charged on our cap at something like $13 million. Given his situation we think we would have an interest in re-signing him but not at that amount of money. Purely a technical matter, we had to renounce our rights to Shaun yesterday along with several other players [Dan Dickau, Boniface N'Dong, Smush Parker and James Singleton] to create the necessary salary cap space to sign Baron Davis to a contract today.
That being said we've already reached out to Shaun and his reps to let them know we do have an interest in re-signing Shaun and don't be surprised if you hear more about us having conversations with Shaun. It's purely a technical thing it doesn't reflect in any way a decision for us to kind of move on past that.
The Clippers celebrated the signing of Davis on Thursday but have a gaping hole at power forward. The two best free agent options (Josh Smith and Emeka Okafor) are restricted. There's no way to know ahead of time if their respective teams will match (Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Bobcats).
The Clippers could potential waive/renounce additional players (Quinton Ross, Marcus Williams, Nick Fazekas and Josh Powell) to get even further under the cap should that be needed.
It's difficult to anticipate what's ahead for the Clippers but it would appear they are committed to spending the money to fill the void at power forward with the intention of putting together a competitive roster for the upcoming season.

Been spending a ton of money on parts and working on the wagon. Nothing that really deserves any pictures. Got the horn hooked up, fixed the headlights (only one was working before), hooked up the reverse lights, fixed a sagging door with new door hinge bushings, and made a hood release cable.
I have a ton of parts that need to go on, but I AM IN DIRE NEED OF 280ZX FRONT HUBS! There are zero choices at the junk yards here, and everybody I contact who's parting one out either flakes on me or wants something crazy ($100+ shipping). If anybody can help me out with some cheap hubs, you will be rewarded with awesome satisfaction and pictures!
This picture is so sick! I've always loved the SSR MK3/MK2 staggered look.

Nothing much going on. Did a little bit of work on the wagon but nothing groundbreaking. Been hanging out with the infamous BKH808. Here's some random pictures that I like.
By the way, have you guys checked out High Top Fade? It's a pretty amazing blog.

Not only the toy Hako wagon, but THAT DRAWING IT'S ON! I love cutaway and schematic drawings. I'd love to have that blown up and framed right above my DSalni canvases.
Aren't you a gorgeous little thing…
When I was searching for my wagon, I wanted original paint in either orange, poppyseed/mustard yellow or this periwinkle blue. The Equip 03's and JDM grille look awesome…
Henry picked me up after I checked out of my hotel in SF and let me crash at his place for a couple of nights. Roll up to the casa and you're greeted by Initial Midnight.
You might've seen Henry's car somewhere.
'Merican pride! Hung out in a parking lot for a minute before getting a tour of the mountain roads.
Caught a ride in this S14. Nuts.
The next night we checked out a couple of meets. Caught a ride in my favorite car in the world thanks to Justin! He kept saying the 610 looks like crap because he had to run his spares in the front instead of his Longchamps. It's still the greatest looking thing I've ever seen in my life.
Also, you can catch a glimpse of Yuta's Cayman beating Civic in the background.
One thing that I'm going to remember till the day that I die is riding with everyone in the back of Justin's 610 with the hatch open, rolling through a mall's parking structure blasting Easy-E. FUCK YEAH!

I went on vacation (or a holiday for you British and/or Top Gear fans) and have been back home now for a couple of weeks, just screwing around. I flew up to Seattle to meet up with my brother, sister, and their friends to catch a Yankees/Mariners game (strike "see a Yankees game" off my bucket list), then to Oregon and San Francisco. That's where things got interesting. A squabble with somebody close left me heartbroken, deflated and alone.
Fortunately, good friends in "the city by the bay" (JOURNEY ROCKS!) not only kept me company, but they also re-ignited my passion for all things vehicular. I got to hang out with the Fatlace crew in San Francisco, then the internet sensations known as the Heartbreakers in San Jose (I owe Henry huge for letting me crash at his place for a couple of nights). Then on a whim, I rented a car and drove down to LA at 2am to party with some old classmates for a couple of nights, before driving back up to SFO to fly home. Gotta see the silver lining in everything right?
One day, Jan from Fatlace picked me up from my hotel in Union Square and brought me to every man's wet dream known as the Fatlace Paddock. So much cool stuff happening at that place… I would NEVER be able to work there, simply because there are too many toys!
Mark's drift S14
R32 GT-R that was to built for Time Attack, but I heard it's been put up for sale. Nonetheless, carbon fiber aero and Weds wheels are gorgeous.
Cool guy Kenny working with the lift so we could sneak a peak under the most amazing Lotus I have ever seen. And what's that in the background?
Oh hello, my beauties… a completely stock Kenmeri Skyline and a gorgeous Fairlady Roadster. I never thought I would see a Kenmeri in the metal. This is the thing that dreams are made of!
Afterwards, they took me next door so I could give my expert opinion on their shaved ice, since I'm from Hawaii. Making it yourself is so much more rewarding than buying it from Aoki's, Waiola's or Matsumoto's! Then it started snowing in the warehouse. A minibike was started up and donuts ensued. Hilarity at it's best!
A day or two later, we all met up again by Berkeley to attempt, The Ring of Death. Basically, a hot dog, a plate of italian food, an ice cream sandwich, yogurt and something else. Or something like that. I failed horribly. As a consolation prize I did get to see what is hands down, the sickest Corolla ever.
My hands were shaking from excitement. KENNY… IAMNOTWORTHY!
Bad. Fucking. Ass.
I really wish I brought my camera. Big mahalos to the Fatlace homies. I still gotta send you guys some li hing mui!
Adventures from San Jose with the Heartbreakers coming in part deuce!
And on a side note, I gotta say… it feels weird finally meeting the people that you've been idolizing and emulating the last couple of years. The fact that I've met them through the internet makes me feel like a creepy Craigslist missed connections guy. HAHAHAHA!
Just been busy with life. Enjoy these Hako wagons!

Came home from my buddies bar at 4am…. Open up my mailbox… CHRISTMAS IN JANUARY!
I found out my old schoolmate Rod is not only living in Japan, he's also running one of the BEST used JDM/Miata parts blog out there. He hooked me up with a 360mm wooden Nardi for cheap. Complete and in great condition for a fraction of what they usually sell for? Count me in. Ask him for what you're looking for. He's got more than just the 4×100 Miata offset, if you know what I mean.
In the background is a set of custom 2″ drop blocks with 2 degrees of correction and the U bolts, one of four 510 repair manuals I ordered from Amazon and my weather seal kit.
Happy New Years, everyone from around the world! I can feel it in my blood that this is gonna be an awesome year!
December ended with a bit of a problem… I went to our local shipping company to pick up a little present to myself on the 30th, but apparently, they decided to celebrate New Years Eve on the 30th. Now I can't pick up my present until the 2nd of January. I was keeping this a secret until I actually had it in my ownership, but here's the pics from the build thread:
Yes, that is a 510 wagon in 4 different shades of orange and a red door. And yes, IT IS MINE! It was shipped in from Seaside, Oregon and I'm picking her up on Monday! Big plans are in store for this car and you guys are gonna see it all first as it's happening!
Why did I choose this car? It's 99% rust free, it was the previous owner's daily, it's gonna make a killer fishing car/cruiser that can fit my buddies in style in and it was CHEAP (well, not so much after shipping). I've already bought some new tie rods and a dual cam KA that I might swap in. From my Z that I mayyyyy put in are my SSR Longchamps (15×7 +11) and black cloth Recaros.
Basically, I was looking for something that's a more fun to drive and looks way radder as a daily than my POS '00 Corolla.
Short term plans:
*280zx front struts with Techno Toy Tuning coilovers and camber plates
*2 inch drop blocks in the rear
*Urethane bushings everywhere
*280zx disc brakes at all 4 corners
*Mooneyes California metalflake steering wheel with quick release (although a wooden Nardi is still a big possibility)
*Vintage SSR's with diiiiiiiiish
*Wink mirror (cuz they're rad!)
*A nod to Anth's Australian style with some Venetian blinds
Long term goals:
*SR swap
*Air suspension (Still up in the air. If I have to lose the rear seats, then no.)
*Full repaint of the stock orange
*Reupholster the interior with a stock look
Oh yeah, be on the look out for the Kyusha Kai New Years Meet and the 510's Wheel Fitting Party! So far, I've got a bunch of different wheels from friends to try on from myself as well as buddies… 16×7 +20, 15×7+11, 15×8 0, 14×8 -12 and 14×8 -40something. I honestly think the 15×8 0 offsets are gonna be pushing the limits of the metal from what I've been reading… Especially if I end up throwing on 280zx front struts.
A friend tried to argue with me that I shouldn't bag my future wagon. I disagree.
Ghost Factory in Japan does it right.

I am implementing inventory application. I would like to identify the model number from IMEI number. Can I??????
Much appreciate your help.
I am implementing inventory application. I would like to identify the model number from IMEI number. Can I??????
Much appreciate your help.
These may give you a hint:
Based on these, test your algorithm with a few phone and may be able to make difference between different models(TACs) with a good accuracy.
I was wondering.....
Did you ever get a solution to this issue?
Kind Regards ..............
I have some information, it may helf you...
Retrieving the device IMEI code
The IMEI, short for International Mobile Equipment Identity, is a unique number given to every single mobile phone [1]. It is not modifiable by the user and a written copy of it can typically found behind the battery. It can also be displayed on screen by entering the *#06# key sequence.
Depending on your mobile, this number can have two different formats (the old and the new format:
aabbbb-cc-dddddd-e if your mobile has been manufactured before April 1st 2004.
xxxxxxxx-dddddd-e if your mobile has been manufactured after this date.
The old IMEI format
The format aabbbb-cc-dddddd-e was in use until April 1st 2004. Its meaning is:
aabbbb is the Type Approval Code (TAC). The first two digits (aa) represent the country code.
The second group of numbers (cc) is the Final Assembly Code (FAC). This identifies the device manufacturer [2]:
01,02 = AEG 60 = Alcatel
07,40 = Motorola 61 = Ericsson
10,20 = Nokia 65 = AEG
30 = Ericsson 70 = Sagem
40,41,44 = Siemens
75 = Dancall
50 = Bosch 80 = Philips
51 = Sony, Siemens, Ericsson 85 = Panasonic
dddddd represents the device serial number (SNR)
the last single digit (e) is an check digit (usually set to 0).
The new IMEI format
The new format xxxxxxxx-dddddd-e is used since 1st April 2004. The FAC value has disappeared and the Type Approval Code has been be replaced by a Type Allocation Code (TAC in both cases):
xxxxxxxx is a eight digit number: the Type Allocation Code.
dddddd and e have the same meaning as in the old format.
The IMEISV format
You may have two extra digits at the end of the IMEI. IN this case, these two additional numbers reflects the software version number of your phone. You can check in ETSI specs 02.16 and 03.03 if you need to have more details.

try this interesting link:
Also very helpful for looking up TACs, and probably even more up-to-date, because it is part of an official document:
I dont know about the 3rd edition but for 2nd Edetion use plpvariant.h header file. Search newlc for the same you will find somethng usefull. For 3rd Edetion I think CTelephony should work.
Thanks and Regards,
For model name and number there is a file in the ROM called as model.txt ( It gives the model name and number). I dont remember the exact location for the same...
Thanks and Regards,
I would discourage anyone to post the IMEI of his phone onto various unknown / untrusted websites. It allows them to use the IMEI for a series of illegal activities (like replacing the blocked IMEI of a stolen phone with yours). Please keep in mind that the IMEI of your phone is a sensitive information, almost like your credit card number.
I Agree what mrjt says...
Thanks and Regards,
CTelephony yields nice data, among of which the model, imei, manufacturer, etc.
For example you might check CTelephony::GetPhoneId()
