Baldwin may face four years in prison
Comment on this storyActor Stephen Baldwin has been charged with failing to file New York state income taxes for three years.
Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe says Baldwin owes more than $350,000 in taxes and penalties. He says Baldwin was arraigned on Thursday on a charge of repeated failure to file tax returns.
Baldwin pleaded not guilty and was released without bail.
The district attorney says Baldwin could face up to four years in prison if convicted. The actor is due back in court on February 5. A call to Baldwin's attorney, Russell Yankwitt, was not immediately returned.
The 46-year-old Baldwin, who lives in Upper Grandview, is the youngest of the acting Baldwin brothers. He starred in 1995's "The Usual Suspects" and appeared in 1989's "Born on the Fourth of July." - Sapa-AP

How many kids is too many kids? If you're Daad Murad Abdul Rahman, then you can never have enough. The 64-year-old Arab Emirates citizen already has 88 children but wants to make it an even 100. So he's marrying an 18-year-old Indian girl named Aisha and hopes to have 100 kids by 2015 (this is making my uterus hurt). Rahman's been married 15 times and currently has three wives. This latest union was arranged via his doctor and Rahman says he will bring Aisha back to his home city of Ajman after the wedding. He says he'll stop marrying when he has an even 100 children.

Audio Engineering II
Audio Engineering II is where the rubber really meets the road in the program.
While some aspects such as decibel calculations and the ear training curriculum have been introduced in Audio Engineeing I, this class takes it up a few notch - big notches. Students are working on projects as soon as possible; learning proceedures to gain an aestetic for balance in amplitude and frequency. The lab hours begin demonstrations on the various stereo recording arrays and the students must be able to aurally identify the sonic signatures of the set ups. Many of the projects are mixing related with pre-recorded files that have 'issues' to them.
Calm waters don't make good sailors, right? In AEII, the water gets very rough and the student is taught techniques to overcome common problems faced in mixing multi-channel audio. In this regard, Audio Engineering II is also the class where dynamic processing (compressors, limiters, gates and expanders) are featured as well as the many parameters of reverb and delays. Perhaps more than anything else however, the aural skills that are required for the class truly test each student's cognitive skills and ability to stay cool under duress. In regards to the mathmatics of audio engineering, by the end of AEII, the student can calculate all voltage and wattage based decibels and know all of the common referenced decibel values, both analog and digital.
The above recording was made in the Audio Engineering II class. The drums (Isai Lugo), bass (Delio Palacios), and two guitars (Charles Longoria and Paul Bissell) were tracked live in Wolfe Recital Hall with a total of 9 channels. Given the Frank Zappa origins of the song, the opening drum machine was added during the mix as was a light touch of digital B3 organ. The song had no ending so an original riff was written that serves as the final "outro". We use this outro music in some of the other videos on the website.

I'm a newbie to this.
I've gripped about 20 small pistols in the past couple weeks. The one that seemed to leap into my palm and happily stick there was a Colt Defender. It just fit so well. My hands and 'instinctive' grip are such that almost all other autos end up placing the slide release button under my right thumb...leading to the slide slamming shut after last round rather than staying open....an annoyance on the range. i've been trying to alter my grip with some luck, but now, after having a Sig (great shooter) for a few months, I'm drawn to this Defender as a CCW because it (and all the other Colt 1911s I tried same day) fit my hand and the slide release button was perfectly between (but not under) my two thumbs, both running along the left side of the frame as they do in my hard-to-change grip style.
Cocked and Locked is how the salesman said you optimally carry this. This is a bit of a culture change for me...Intellectually I see that the thumb safety, the grip safety, and the trigger are all safety features. I'm just used to my Sig.....with a decocker, etc.
To users of this...is this how you carry this gun? Cocked and locked such? Is it safe in an unconventional holtser, such as common IWB holsters?
Just looking for some reassurance on this....i'm not used to SA only pistols that you carry around with the hammer back....

Bond ratings were far from the only trust-forming device that blew up.
The point of Yandle's best-known paper on the topic is that this is the only financial crisis in our history that resulted from a collapse of trust. It wasn't a failure of central bank policy, as in 1933, or a lack of liquidity in the market, as in the panics of the 19th century.
And once gone, trust takes a very long time to come back.
Transaction costs up
Yandle answered a question about the return of trust by telling a story about neighbors, when one leaves town and asks the other to please keep an eye on his house.
That works fine until the new big-screen TV goes missing and investigators later find it next door at the neighbors'. That's a case where those neighbors could live side-by-side 20 more years, and trust never recovers.
The reason trust matters in a market economy is that lack of trust is a major factor in what are known as transaction costs. The money that goes to lawyers and regulators is one example, and so is the time people have to spend digging into the background of a person or firm on the other side of a proposed transaction.
Low transaction costs make markets far more efficient. Capital will flow more easily to the most promising opportunities.
Consumers will readily choose the goods they think best meet their needs and put their savings into investments rather than in a coffee can buried in the back yard. All of this spurs economic growth.
Yandle said there are signs of a recovery in trust, as the volatility in financial markets has settled down, retail sales have recovered and so have some lending markets.
On the other hand, he said, slow bank lending and the increased regulatory burdens on bankers are some signs that trust has a long way to go to fully recover.
"I knew it was serious," he said, looking back to the fall of 2008. "I knew we were in trouble. But I had no idea we would still be mired in the effects of that collapse five years later."
There aren't many benefits that came out of the experience of 2008. About the only one that comes to mind is perhaps a bit of clarity.
If anyone wondered whether the people who run America's biggest financial institutions deserved our complete trust, the events of 2008 should have settled that.
Of course they don't.

Musicians From Marlboro
For 50 years, the Musicians from Marlboro touring program has served as an extension of Vermont's Marlboro Music Festival, founded in 1951. The tours are noted not only for their joyous performances of both well-known masterpieces and unfamiliar works, but also for offering valuable experience to artists at the beginning of their careers. The touring ensembles have always given audiences a chance to hear the coming generation of major artists playing together with distinguished musicians. Early in their careers, the program introduced such pianists as Jonathan Biss, Yefim Bronfman, Jeremy Denk, Richard Goode, Murray Perahia, Andras Schiff and Peter Serkin, as well as members of numerous leading chamber ensembles. So, as The Washington Post pointed out: You may not know the names of all the artists, but, "Musicians from Marlboro is a virtual guarantee of musical excellence!"

DAINS chief executive Spencer Wright has been re-elected to run the firm for a third term.
Wright joined Dains in 2004 as head of corporate finance, and was elected managing partner in 2007. The term lasts for three years.
The Top 50+50 firm, based in the Midlands, won Mid-Tier Firm of the Year at the 2013 British Accountancy Awards. The firm expects to break the £10m barrier for fee income this year, having posted £4m when Wright first took on the role.
"I am extremely proud to be elected chief executive once again of such a great business and take it as a real vote of confidence from the partnership," said Wright. "Our success is the result of sheer hard work by the executive board and collaboration by all of our dedicated partners and staff across the business, and by sticking to our core focus on our clients and steadfastly pursuing our clear strategic vision first laid out in 2007."
Martin Smith has been re-elected as senior partner for a second term. He has served with the firm for 19 years, with the last 17 as partner and head of business recovery and insolvency.
"The role of senior partner evolves all of the time as we constantly move forward - but some things must not change: maintaining the integrity of the firm, the culture and our values - one of my biggest challenges is to lead change whilst preserving what is good about Dains."

In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

I know when I go to the parks today, and ESPECIALLY tomorrow, and see someone in their uniform or a means of showing they are in the service, I will make sure that I thank them. If possible treat them to lunch.
I will never forget 9/11 and how I felt that day. I'll never forget seeing the sky over Chicago become clear of jet streams. I'll never forget seeing the one jet stream that did a complete 180 back towards NYC. There are so many memories tied to that day, that it's impossible to forget.
God Bless those who have served, are serving, and will serve for the freedom of our country!

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation Announces Results Of Stock Offering
Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation ("Atlantic Coast Federal") (NASDAQ: ACFC) today announced that Atlantic Coast Financial Corporation ("Atlantic Coast Financial"), the proposed holding company for Atlantic Coast Bank (the "Bank") and the successor company to Atlantic Coast Federal in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion of Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC (the "MHC"), expects to sell approximately 1,710,857 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share for gross offering proceeds of approximately $17.1 million in its stock offering. The conversion and stock offering is subject to final regulatory approval. Orders submitted in compliance with all applicable laws in the subscription and community offerings will be filled in whole, including the order by Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation's employee stock ownership plan.
Concurrent with the completion of the offering, shares of Atlantic Coast Federal's common stock currently owned by the public will be exchanged for shares of Atlantic Coast Financial common stock so that Atlantic Coast Federal's existing stockholders will own approximately the same percentage of Atlantic Coast Financial's common stock as they owned of Atlantic Coast Federal's common stock immediately prior to the conversion. As a result, stockholders of Atlantic Coast Federal will receive 0.1960 shares of Atlantic Coast Financial's common stock for each share of Atlantic Coast Federal common stock they own immediately prior to completion of the transaction. Cash in lieu of fractional shares will be paid at a rate of $10.00 per share. As a result of the offering and the exchange of shares, Atlantic Coast Financial will have approximately 2,629,442 shares outstanding after giving effect to the transaction.
Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated acted as conversion advisor and marketing agent in the subscription and community offerings. Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C. acted as legal counsel to Atlantic Coast Federal, the MHC, Atlantic Coast Financial and the Bank.
The transaction is expected to close on February 3, 2011, at which time MHC and Atlantic Coast Federal will cease to exist and Atlantic Coast Financial will become the fully public stock holding company of the Bank. The shares of common stock of Atlantic Coast Federal will cease trading under the trading symbol "ACFC" on the NASDAQ Global Market at the close of business on February 3, 2011. The shares of common stock sold in the offering and issued in the exchange are expected to begin trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on February 4, 2011, under the trading symbol "ACFCD" for a period of 20 trading days and will thereafter resume trading under the symbol "ACFC."

I have an exit window on a web page, when clicked it has a question asking if you are sure you want to exit this site, with buttons for yes and no. I would like the yes button to close botht the pop up and the parent window, and no to just close the pop-up. How would I go about doing this?

Good practice though is to never close a window you didn't open, the user can use the regular window close mechanism to close any window they want at the time they want and trying to close any window you didn't open is going to cause the user to get asked if they want that window to be closed.Code:window.opener.close();window.close();
That extra prompt can be bypassed but that's a bug you can't count on being there so don't bother with trying to take advantage of it because while it'll make your website look smooth now it'll be fixed someday and then your website will look awkward.
Some good advice: http://evolt.org/article/I_am_USER_h...295/index.html
EDIT: Had to fix my code a bit

- Immune Depletion to Enhance Immunotoxin Therapy
(Posted: 09/18/2013) - In this clinical trial, patients with advanced mesothelioma who have not benefited from previous chemotherapy will receive pentostatin and cyclophosphamide to prevent an anti-immunotoxin immune response prior to and in conjunction with SS1P immunotoxin therapy. - Genetically Engineered Immunotherapy for Advanced Cancer
(Posted: 08/07/2012) - In this trial, doctors will collect T lymphocytes from the blood of patients with advanced mesothelin-expressing cancer and genetically engineer these cells to recognize mesothelin.

(Posted: 07/14/2009) - In this trial, patients with inoperable epithelial pleural mesothelioma will be given SS1P immunotoxin in combination with pemetrexed and cisplatin to determine the maximum tolerated dose of SS1P and side effects profile in these patients. - Combining Targeted Therapies for Thoracic Cancers
(Posted: 09/26/2006) - In this trial, patients with advanced thoracic cancers (cancers of the chest) or other cancers that have spread to the chest will be treated with the drugs romidepsin and flavopiridol. Researchers will study the safety of this combination and how these agents affect gene and protein expression in these patients.

The Vikings founded Ireland's first major towns on the wide, easy-flowing River Slaney, which cuts through the middle of the county. The most enjoyable modern way for visitors to appreciate Wexford's swashbuckling maritime history is pausing in pretty waterfront villages and sampling catches from the surrounding waves.

I hate posts where people whine about things like this, and I normally keep to myself, but are there more ads all of a sudden? I've had to reload my page several times today because it gets stuck loading a pop-up ad. I know different people using different systems will have different answers, but I was curious is something major has changed. I checked my settings and my pop-ups are supposed to be blocked, but maybe that's why it blocks the loading of the whole page. I'm confusing it. :) I'm sure giving a donation to GW will somehow make those ads go away, but that isn't going to happen. I'm too used to FB, Pinterest and such being free to start paying for things. So maybe I'll have to suck it up and deal with the ads. Thanks for letting me vent. Back to your regularly scheduled TKO-ing. :) |

I don't know about the ad situation, since I don't see them, but as for this: >my pop-ups are supposed to be blocked, but maybe that's why it blocks the loading of the whole page. Most ad blockers, like the one in firefox, actually must load all the ads anyway. They don't stop them from being there, only from being visible and clickable, so you still have the drag on performance while the ads are loading. There are only a few options for actually preventing ads from loading at all. (I use glimmerblocker, which does this, but I don't think it's available for windows. Sorry I can't suggest a windows equivalent, but I don't know what's good and what isn't.) |

That's why Firefox is so incredibly slow. You're confused about the donation thing. GW used to operate on donations. As a matter of fact, I have a few t-shirts from donating over the years. Having been purchased by the evil empire, iVillage, it's now all ad-based revenue. You can't stop it with your money. Just your time and patience. I'd be interested to hear how much they make from click-thrus. I will be absolutely d@mned if I purchase anything thru these ads. |
Probably a different issue, but I've been having trouble lately with typing messages to post. I have a pop-up blocker, but lately every time it blocks a pop-up (seemingly every 2 seconds) I get kicked out of typing in the message box. So I type a couple characters and then my cursor is somewhere outside the box. I select where I want to type, get in a couple more characters, then get booted out again. Sometime the whole page scrolls to the bottom of its own volition. It doesn't happen every time, not this time, thankfully. I think it may be associated with one particularly agressive ad, but since it never pops up I can't tell. Anyone else have this issue? I've already reported to GW. I'm still using IE 8. |

Going to brew a batch with my oldest son on Saturday. Have to go to the local brewing supply and pick up a kit. I started a few months back and really enjoy it and I think he will also. The weather is going to be pretty crappy so it will be a good brew day!! Maybe I will get to steal some of his beer for a change!
Congrats man! I dont have a son yet, but I would have enjoyed the experience with my dad. Have a great brew day!
Awesome, how old is he? What are you guys being up?
That's so very cool
Im not really sure what he is going to pick up, he seems to like a darker, maltier style but ya never know. my guess is a October fest type or a wheat beer. He had been saying he wanted to get into home brewing, but with a house and truck payment cash is kinda scarce, so I had an equipment kit sent to his house. With his own stuff my stuff stays my stuff!!! 24 year olds can drink alot of beer!
Mine is only two years old so I brew during naptime. Can't wait to teach him the art!
Well he ended up picking out a wheat beer with orange peel and coriander. That was one of the beers I did and it came out great. It should appeal to just about everyone.Saturday did not work out so we are doing it tonite! Might be a late night!
Ya those are good beers that everyone likes. Drink em fresh!

How JK Rowling Saved 'Luna Lovegood' From Anorexia
The Irish actress had the deadly eating disorder for two years from 11 and wrote to J K Rowling begging for help, reports the Sun.
"I told her the books gave me hope, particularly Luna Lovegood," said Evanna, who went on to play the character in the films.
"I told how I looked up to her. She wrote back and was like a counsellor. She told me anorexia is destructive, not creative, and the brave thing was not to succumb to it," she added.
"I told her I'd love to be in the films and she encouraged that but said I'd need to be well to do so. In the end I think that's why I recovered," said Evanna.

Teach me how to kiss - w4m
I prefer a guy who doesn't have bad breath, open sores, or a mental disorder. Also, it'd be nice if you're not a geriatric (30+ yrs) or jailbait (-18 yrs).
Just a warning, there's a strong possibility that I may run away mid-kiss. Please don't take offense, and you can keep the five dollars.
Please respond with a picture, I want to make sure you don't have any lesions or swollen lymph nodes.

I just picked this plant up earlier today and I am wondering if anyone can help me identify this. I thought I had heard of this as a bronze peperomia, but I can't find anything like it. In the picture it doesn't show how metallic it looks. It almost looked like and emerald ripple, only the leaves aren't as scrunchy looking. The bronze/ purplish color doesn't show up very well either. The stems and the leaves are fuzzy also. Any ideas? |

Read and rate Travel Journal Entries for Montevideo, Uruguay
Feb 6, 2012 - Montevideo
6th February Travel by car this morning to Montevideo. We have a driver and a guide. The driver does not say much but we find out that his English is pretty good and he is better informed than the guide (in some ways). She is Uruguayan but of German parents, her English is pretty good and we assume that is why she has been selected to look after us. We get some maps and a little background into Uruguay and its history. As suspected, it has been a bit of a ping pong ball between Argentina and Brazil and most of the time just keeps its head...

We are on our own in Montevideo. Although only 600 Km across the Plata River from Buenos Aires, it is quite a different country. We walk away from the pier and immediately encounter street vendors. Many streets are set aside for pedestrian traffic only. We walk to the center of town passing parks with fountains and statutes. One park was full of street vendors selling antiques: silverware, glassware, leather, books and metal items. Many beautiful buildings in eclectic style outline the streets. After exploring the city, we are ready for a...

Aft breakfast today we decided to bus it to the Ciudad Vieja (old city) of Montevideo. It didn't take long to get there and the ride there was half the fun. Entertainers seem to ride on the buses for free and a man and a woman declaimed, played and sang to the passengers for most of the journey. Overacting is putting it mildly, but it drew rapturous applause from the passengers. Later on the bus back had a traveller on board who tried to sell pens that doubled as torches and what we think were diaries. While we had a map, we really had no...

After sleeping in, courtesy of Valium and a cold and flu tablet, I emerged from our room in Colonia for breakfast at about 0830. Breakfast was typical apart from some of the sweet spreads. These included squares of quince paste that were not overly sweet, and a sweet brown paste ubiquitous in South American cooking called 'dulce du leche'. It is made by boiling down milk and sugar. It is often used as a filling in cakes. The Posada was able to reserve us seats on the 1045 bus to Montevideo and a taxi to take us to the Bus Station, so it was...

The theater is a gorgeous venue and soprano Natalie Dessay was fabulous as Lucia. The next night we saw 'Una Mujer Justa' de Sandor Marai!

Montevideo is the third national capital we've visited on this journey; Buenas Aires and Santiago being the first two. Montevideo is similar to BA. The cultures of Argentina and Uruguay are closer in personality than either is to Chile; the former two are more Italian, while Chile has a more German & English influence. Uruguay has by far the most pronounced 'Matte flavor'. Far more so than in either of the other two countries do you see people walking the streets, riding the buses, sitting on park benches holding / drinking from their matte...

Sunday, January 30, 2011 Four Points Sheraton was a very classy hotel: rooms were spacious and comfortable, well-placed toiletries, a bright bathroom, and very nice breakfast.

Colonia de Sacramento, Uruguay - pretty little town an hour's ferry ride away from BA, and another stamp in the passport. Easy walk from the port to the old part of town, though took us a while to actually realise we'd reached it! v picturesque, lots of little old buildings and churches and squares. We were ravenous, so sat down at a place with a sunny garden and live music, where we had 'chivito' a sort of beef covered in melted cheese and an egg sorta thing, the typical local snack apparently! Alright, but it was no BA lomo! After a bit...

Montevideo noemt zichzelf een hoofdstad maar hier valt dus ook ni veel te beleven, beetje rondgeslenterd door de oude stad, iet gaan drinken, beetje in zon gaan liggen en daarna eerst nog een paar drinkspellen bijgeleerd en dan gingen we naar salsabar, tijd om mijn moves nog eens te testen, spijtig genoeg was deze bar gesloten, zijn dan maar naar 2 andere bars geweest, was geen salsa maar wel betere muziek dus werd toch nog plezant.

May 6, 2010 - Montevideo - May 3-6
May 3, 2010 Thankfully today wasn't one of those stupid early flight days and we got up at a normal hour, had breakfast, packed up and checked out before getting a taxi to the airport. We had just a 90 minute flight to Aeroparque, the mostly national airport in Buenos Aires and then another of those enjoyable long waits. This one was only about 7 hours so would be a breeze compared to those we've had recently and some we have coming up at the end of this week, too! Montevideo is our last destination in South America (for now!) and we have...

Mesa's plan to shut down nearly 25 percent of its wells to meet new arsenic limits in 2006 could jeopardize the city's ability to cope with an emergency.
Right now, Mesa has enough wells to take up the slack if either of the city's water treatment plants goes down.
But Mesa's water system will lose that important safety feature when 25 percent of city wells close in 18 months.
"We don't have somewhere else where we can turn real quick in an emergency," said Alan Martindale, the city's water quality supervisor.
The two treatment plants produce about 85 percent of the city's water, Martindale said. Wells account for 15 percent of the water supply.
Last year, when a power failure shut down one of the plants for eight hours, the city switched to wells and reservoirs without interruption, Martindale said.
Wells also take over when the plants are shut down for repairs, or while canals are being cleaned.
The city plans to drill 27 new wells by 2025, according to a water plan going through final revisions. But that won't be in time for the new arsenic limit.
On Jan. 23, 2006, the arsenic limit for drinking water will change from 50 parts per billion — the standard since 1942 — to 10 parts per billion.
Mesa is aiming for 8 parts per billion to make sure it is under the limit. One part per billion equals a drop in a 10,000 gallon swimming pool.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which is forcing the change, has estimated it will prevent 21 to 30 deaths from cancer each year. Long-term exposure to arsenic in humans has been linked to various forms of cancer, along with diabetes, birth defects, neurological damage and other diseases.
Water high in arsenic typically comes from underground aquifers. By contrast, river water processed at Mesa's water treatment plants is low in arsenic.
Chlorine is added to well water to remove bacteria. Otherwise, it is sent to Mesa homes untreated.
Of the city's 37 active wells, 14 have arsenic levels that exceed 8 parts per billion. The city water plan calls for closing nine wells, installing equipment at three wells to remove arsenic, and diluting arsenic levels at two wells by blending in purer water. The cost is estimated at $20 million, said Bill Haney, an assistant utility director.
Previously, the city water utility said it would close 10 of 38 active wells. But, one of the wells has already been closed because of high nitrate levels, Martindale said. The nine wells targeted for closure can produce about 19.9 million gallons of water per day.
Altogether, the city's 37 we lls can pump about 75 million gallons of water per day, Martindale said.
Mesa has commissioned another study, at nearly $1 million, to find the best way to have the rest of its wells comply with new arsenic levels.
One option Mesa is considering is building special treatment plants — called groundwater facilities — to remove arsenic from well water before it goes to homes.
This treatment method would cost about 69 cents per gallon, as opposed to $1.48 to $2 per gallon for treatment plants at individual wells, according to the water plan.
Mesa also plans to add pipelines and build a reservoir on the east side by 2006 to replace three of the wells being closed.
The cost to buy land, drill and equip a well is about $750,000, said Bill Haney, an assistant utility director.
Mesa uses an average of 80 million to 85 million gallons of water per day, with peaks of about 130 million to 140 million gallons per day in the summer, Martindale said. The city's water system serves about 450,000 people.
Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Phoenix and Peoria could spend a combined $124 million to reduce arsenic in drinking water by the federally imposed deadline. In addition, more than 200 small water systems in Arizona will pay $80 million to $150 million.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has estimated it will cost about 4,000 water systems nationwide $180 million to $206 million per year to make the change. Martindale said the figures are too low, and don't include the cost of replacing wells, among other things. Some agencies estimated the cost at more than $600 million per year.
"We feel strongly that the EPA has not adequately taken certain costs into consideration," said Tom Curtis, deputy executive director of American Water Works Association in Washington, D.C., a trade organization.

Subaru Legacy/Outback Wagons Maintenance & Repair
fibber2 Mid Hudson Valley, NYPosts: 3,735I'm with you on this one! I only have 25k on my '02 OBW, and RE92's share time with my snows, so I don't think they have broken 20k yet. Now I realize that the storms we have been having this summer in the NE have been quite excessive, but I am becoming increasingly concerned about the hydroplaning at still more than half tread. I will probably run them thru the fall, go to the snows for winter, and consider new tires in the spring.

It's got me beat why Subaru in the US don't fit a mud/snow tyre as they do out of Japan.
Australian spec Outbacks come with Yokohama Geolanders that run about 50,000km (30,000 miles) My latest set have now run 45,000km and have probably 15,000km left on them. Wet weather performance is still very good.

xvimbi Posts: 1Hi y'all - I have looked through a lot of messages, but couldn't find a concise answer. I hope you'll be so kind and let me know your personal opinion about which new tires to get for my 2000 Outback.
I'm in Texas, so driving on snow will only be occasional. I am mostly interested in all-season tires with a good ride and low noise. I also thought about going to the largest tires possible (18"?). And, of course, I don't want to spend an arm and a leg.
Any good suggestions? Thanks so much in advance. -
bkaiser1 Posts: 464I had Michelin MXV4's on my 01 Outback and absolutely loved them...probably the best tires I have had. Most of my driving is on the highway in the mountains between Reno and Sacramento, and I found the MXV4's to be amazingly quiet, with great rain and snow performance, too. Their handling was very secure, even in high speed corners on the highway. There are other sportier (and cheaper) tires out there, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy those tires again.
Brian -
mudhen Posts: 1On my 2002 OB, I replaced the original RE92's at 67,900 miles. They were still legal. I drive all over heck and back here in CA, so I was a bit surprised they held up so well.
Researching tires is fun! Everyone has a crazy story to tell about what tire did what!
Based upon many reports, I narrowed it down to Bridgestone RE950's and Toyo TPT's. My tire dealer could not get 4 matching Toyos, so I went with the RE950's.
No problems so far, they ride nice and firm. But only time will tell.

ejhara Posts: 8mikek in south jersey,
So far, so good on the tires. They are speed-rated for much faster than this 2004 Legacy Wagon would ever go, and I feel they handle quite well on a dry highway at high speeds. The wet traction seems very good; the snow traction is okay, but probably not up to some soft rubber Continentals I had at one time. The price of these new Continental Extreme Contacts was reasonable, and I'd buy them again.
There is one interesting development: They are directional tires, so rotating them according to the dealer's service schedule will be interesting--can't do them the regular way, and have to just move them same side/front to back.
I've noticed no flat spotting so far.
Good luck! -
fibber2 Mid Hudson Valley, NYPosts: 3,735I am probably going to get a lot of flack for this one, but here goes.....
Our owners manuals stipulate a lot of rules, most of which make sense and I follow, or at least consider closely. Tire pressures, tire 1/4" wear limits, lug torque, wheel size and offsets, spare use, etc. All seem to be based on good engineering judgement (me like good engineering...). But I have a real problem with the tire rotation statement. Yes, Craig is right (P44 in the last section in my manual). Same side only, front to back.
For 20 years, tire mfgrs were concerned about radial plies taking a set and delaminating if reversed. Witness the Firestone 500.... Nobody preaches that any more. Michelin never did. They even launched a major campagne some years back telling dealers to ignore the statement found in most owners manuals and do cross-rotation, unless the tread design dictated a directional rotation.
I have directional snows (Dunlop Wintersport), and do of course follow those instructions. But the Brig RE92 carry no such warning. Can anybody offer up an informed reason as to why Subaru states otherwise? I am certainly open to listening to a good argument, but in the meantime, I will continue doing front to rears on same side, then X when moving rears to front.

fibber2 Mid Hudson Valley, NYPosts: 3,735I would certainly be curious as to what other AWD makers recommend. I just don't see it. I can understand how tire condition affects the wear of AWD mechanical components. But I don't get how driving all 4 wheels changes tire wear and ply set in a substantial way. The suggestion is that if you then rotated the tires this would then adversely change either handling or mechanical system wear?? Something is missing here...
Steve -
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,431I suspect it relates to the circumference issue; I bet someone in engineering thinks that an X rotation doesn't wear the tires down at the same rate as front to back.
I just do same side rotations because it's more convenient since I usually do it myself.

blackbean Posts: 100My RE92's were replaced at 20k. They were horrible in the wet and were beginning to hydroplane. After MUCH research, I went with the Bridgestone RE950 for a balance between, cost, performance and treadlife (Paid only $400 at Costco!). They are night and day better! I almost didn't get them because I didn't believe they would significantly better than the OE tires. They stick like glue in the rain and take on standing water at highway speed without any problems.
I also use the Dunlop WinterSports. Very happy with them as well. -
alchemy2 Posts: 6Our '02 Legacy/Outback had the clutch wear out at 49K. We smelled something evertime we backed the car out of our uphill driveway. We have been driving manual shift cars for over 25yrs and never had one fail this early. Usually >110K. I know we should have taken it in to our Subaru dealer but we didn't for one reason or another. Since SOA doesn't cover clutches on their transmission warranty, we had it repaired by a third party transmission shop that has been in business for >25yrs. The repair cost us ~$1000 (included new flywheel). They told us that their parts supplier recently has seen a high demand for Subaru Outback clutches. Also if you look carefully at the 2005 Outback advertising, you seen that the clutch has been re-inforced or improved. So my basic question is do I have any recourse to SOA for my clutch failure and why are Subaru clutches failing prematurely? I live in Northern NJ.
c_hunter Posts: 4,487There was a tech service bulletin (TSB) on this, and you could have had it repaired for free under warranty (assuming your problem was the one that the TSB covered, which is a good bet).
The clutch plate friction material was problematic, and it was worse in damp or humid weather, even worse in the cold. The problem was known as judder. Over time, the judder problem would eventually damage the flywheel as well (created hotspots).
I believe this affected several Japanese manufacturers who used the same clutch supplier.
Revised clutch parts were released along with the TSB in January 03, if I remember right. It seems to have fixed the problem.
My parents 2000 Outback had the same problem, and they were able to get it taken care of under the TSB without any hassles. The car has been fine since.
I am guessing that you are out of luck since you went through a 3rd party for the service, but you never know. Wouldn't hurt to call the Subaru 1-800 number and ask them about it. They are ususally very nice to deal with, and will bend over backwards to help you if it's at all possible. I do suspect you may be out of luck though.

paisan Posts: 21,181Tough question. The EJ22 engine was used all the way up to 2001, in the Impreza line. The catch is the harness and the ECU may be different, so I'm not sure they would just plug-and-play like that.
Is mike around, paisan I mean? He has a 2.2l and knows much more about those than I do.
I'd get one of the same year and same transmission. I'm swapping my dad's 97 2.2L Legacy L engine with the same year motor etc. Makes life easier.

terrapinct Posts: 2Hi, has anyone been able to figure out how to manually open the rear sunshade w/o opening the moonroof? Alot of times i'd like to let the light in for my kids w/o opening the moonroof.
I can only get the sunshade to retrack when the moonroof is opened. Doesn't make sense to me.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks! -

I ask because some do, some don't. I test drove a Saturn Vue Redline and the shade did not move independently from the glass.

hoggc Posts: 402-5spd Outback with 70K(Km). @55K it started burning Oil overnight. Never lost a drop in between services before that. Doing an Official Oil Consumption report with Dealer right now. Good Dealer happy with their service. I have been told that the entire length of the Dipstick to which they marked it (1" 7/8) is ~half a litre/quart. I read posts on this board on how to properly check oil and such. I am wondering if anyone can substantiate that claim. Prior to the dealer initiating the Oil Consump Test I had to put in 2 quarts within 5000 KM. When doing so, I thought that the length of the dipstick was much greater than half a quart.
Thanks in advance
Chris -
c_hunter Posts: 4,487I thought it was a quart between the empty and full marks?? It should say in teh owner's manual. That would pertain to a cold engine only, of course. Checking oil on a warm boxer engine is always error prone -- oil gets up in the dipstick tube while the engine is running and makes it hard to get an accurate reading.

mrk610 Posts: 378Thanks all of you for your comments . I still like the conti's. I have also been looking at the GY triple tread,and the potenza re950's .I really need a all season tire. I don't want to invest in a winter tire .Here in South Jersey we get some snow and I go to the mountains skiing 3or 4 times a year . So i don't think I really need to get winter tires . I think I'm going to wait untill about Nov or Dec to get tires . Thne I'll be ready for the winter .
Thanks again

How to Dress Well Leads a Shamanic Funeral in Eerie 'Face Again' Video
Tom Krell is a beatific presence in second part of '"What Is This Heart?"' visual triology
How to Dress Well mastermind Tom Krell is a shifting presence in the videos from his upcoming album"What Is This Heart?" (due out June 24 via Weird World). The spectral, intimately atmospheric song-weaver played a convenience store clerk and a doctor in the video for the record's stunning "Repeat Pleasure." That clip was the first in a trilogy directed by Johannes Greve Muskat. Now comes the second installment, for the astral-pop tour de force "Face Again." Here Krell plays, as he puts it on Twitter, a "benevolent shaman," who guides the young-couple protogonists as they light a funeral pyre for a lost loved one. The video trilogy will screen in full at How to Dress Well's record release party, set for the Slipper Room in New York on June 10.

Feb. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. started marketing a sale of at least 50 billion yen of Samurai bonds planned for Feb. 17, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The U.S. brokerage told investors it will price five-year bonds to yield between 180 basis points and 195 more than the yen swap rate, said the people, asking not to be identified as the information is private.
Goldman Sachs also plans to sell the same-maturity floating-rate notes yielding between 195 basis points and 210 more than the three-month London interbank offered rate for the yen, the people said.

Fun in Waikiki
Nicole and Veronica went to Waikiki and boy, did these girls have fun! Their fun includes flashing their bikini clad bodies and toying on their balcony.
Nicole and Veronica went to Waikiki and boy, did these girls have fun! Their fun includes flashing their bikini clad bodies and toying on their balcony.
Blonde Teagan needs a massage. Actually, no, Teagan needs sex but she heard about this masseur where she can get both at the same time.
Shae Summers' boyfriend has problems satisfying her. Time for Ava Addams to teach him how to do it. Also...time for a threesome.
That dark hair and that pale skin not to mention those blue eyes...Annis might be perfect. This busty babe wears white stockings which she takes off for us.
Let's lounge in the sun. No, you know what. That's boring and Maddy Rose agrees. She strips and masturbates in the sun instead.
It looks like Kylie is having a lot of fun in her bikini and in this pool. With a big smile she flashes her big tits and gets them wet.
Kasey Warner got detention for talking too much in class. When her teacher falls asleep she decides to use that mouth for sucking dick instead.
I adore Viola Bailey's sweet smile but of course that is just one feature of her that I love. The main attractions remain those perfect big natural boobs of hers.
Clothing isn't allowed in this all girl gym. When Rilee Marks works out she therefore gets a lot of attention from other girls resulting in a different kind of excercise.
Petite Paula has a special plan for Daniel today. She blindfolds him and then proceeds to ride his dick. Well, it seems both enjoyed this game!
These two girls said they wouldn't pose topless when they were approached for a photoshoot. Well, Hannah and Faye clearly proved themselves wrong!
What to do after graduation? Party? Travel? Well, first things first for sexy redhead Charlie...let's get her out of that graduation gown!
Lindsey Woods has been having sex all wrong. Well, according to her stepmom McKenzie Lee anyway so time to teach this hottie some better sex skills!
That top can't contain Joey Fisher's amazing boobs. The fabric is straining and stretching so she might as well take it off so we can see them in all their glory.
You know what's under Anastasia's red skirt? Well, I am sure you suspect what it is but this cutie with glasses doesn't mind making sure we see the real deal.
It's snowing! Well, not really, it's foam but it gets Maddy Rose in the winter/holiday mood. This college girl want more though...they want sex!
Pretty Rachel Williams looks amazing in that tight white outfit. She slowly, very slowly lifts up her shirt which happens to contain a pair of big boobs. Such a tease!
When you hear 'on the rocks' it's usually about a drink with ice in it. Not today. Today it's about busty blonde April getting nude and wet on the rocks.
I know what I want for my birthday this year! I want the same as this guy got and he got to have a threesome with Macie Winslett and Sammie Daniels.
Why wear a bikini at a private pool? Really, it's completely unnecessary and redhead Alice Green agrees. She gets nude and shows off her petite body instead.
With her tanlined body and curly red hair Elizabeth Ostrander strikes quite a figure. Out in the sun she shows off her most striking features...her firm big boobs.
Veronica can seduce with a look...or just by a look at her tight petite body. Either way, the result is what she wants, sex and lots of it.
Busty Buffy prefers to work out naked, making her boobs bounce all over the place. Her fitness instructor helps her with the sex part of her training.
Laura Bentley's husband is gaming and she's making selfies. He starts to pay attention when the selfies turn naughty though. They then create some private porn instead.
During her boxing session Ava Taylor accidentally kicks her trainer in the balls. She feels so guilty and decides to make sure his dick still works...
Eva Lovia was studying with her boyfriend. Well, studying wasn't the plan but he hadn't been performing that well sexually. She calls in India Summer's help...
Unfortunately Leanne Crow and Jenna Valentine don't get into any lesbian action but the boobs get out and they have a pillowfight so it's still nice and sexy!
Cassidy Banks is both busty and exotic...and also completely sexy. She starts by playing with a toy but she needs the real thing which luckily is nearby.
Teddy (a.k.a. Teddi Rae) is giving a massage because this guy helped her out. She wants to do more than massage him though, she's very grateful.
Puppies like soft pillows to lie and snuggle on and it doesn't get much softer than redhead Faye Reagan's boobs. That would be my favourite spot as well.

Overall this fuse holder is easy to use but not idiot proof. The stack of washers makes it a little unclear what order to install the eyelets and fuse in. After a couple of minutes of messing around it becomes clear what the intent was. The black base, washers etc work well enough but the clear cover has a couple of issues with it. It doesn't secure well enough with the tab locks for my tastes. So I secured the cover with a zip tie so it won't come off and get lost. The other issue is the wire openings don't even attempt to keep dirt & debris from entering the fuse holder. Some foam rubber around the wire will seal the opening and accommodate smaller wire gauge than 1/0 but is not included. It may be possible to connect 2 4 gauge wires on the same end but keep in mind the unit was designed for 1 each of 1/0 gauge wire per end so it may require the cover opening to be filed.
This unit isn't perfect but can be fairly easily modified with a file and some foam rubber to seal the wire openings. Don't forget a zip tie to hold the cover on securely for under the hood installation. All fairly minor mods that make this a reliable and inexpensive unit.

20 of the Most Iconic Movie Cars
In the upcoming movie Getaway, Ethan Hawke stars as a former race car driver in a race against time when his wife is kidnapped by a mysterious villain. He steals a custom Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake and takes Selena Gomez on the ride of their lives in order to save his wife's life.
The Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake is a bad ass car and with the release of Getaway, I thought it would be cool to make a list of 20 other iconic movie cars.
These are cars that defined American Muscle Cars. These are cars that defined generations. These are cars that every guy wanted to drive and every lady wanted to be seen in. For a lot of these cars, people flocked to dealerships to buy them. And for the rare custom builts, they still see high prices at auctions. People customize their personal vehicles to resemble the cars that they love so they can show them off or look cool as they drive around town.
So strap into your seatbelts and let's take a drive down memory lane.
#20 – Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Movie: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)
Year/Make/Model: Custom Built Paragon Panther
As a kid, I would watch this movie a lot. Who doesn't know about our fine four fendered friend? The movie is based loosely on Ian Fleming's book and the screenplay was written by Roald Dahl. Those two men are responsible for creating James Bond and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the respective rights. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang could fly and float on water. It really was a magical car.
#19 – The Gold Stealing Mini Coopers
Movie: The Italian Job (1969) The Italian Job (2003)
Year/Make/Model: 1968 & 2003 Mini Coopers
Whether you love the original or the remake, these movies made driving a Mini Cooper super cool. I know I wanted to drive one after seeing the huge getaway chase scene at the end of the 2003 remake. I bet so did a lot of others because sales of the Mini Cooper soared after the film was released.
#18 – Charlie and Raymond Babbitt's Father's Car
Movie: Rain Man (1988)
Year/Make/Model: 1949 Buick Roadmaster
Rain Man is not only an iconic movie starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise, but so is the car they drove. The Babbit Brothers had to take a road trip since Raymond was afraid to fly. This is such a beautiful car. I wish I was also an excellent driver on my way home to Judge Wapner.
#17 – Lightning McQueen
Movie: Cars (2006) Cars 2 (2011)
Year/Make/Model: Based on an American stock car
If you have kids, then you know this car. I personally think Lightning McQueen is a jerk, but you cannot deny him on this list. He's sold millions of toys and t-shirts. If I didn't add him, my kids would have yelled at me.
#16 – The EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle
Movie: Stripes (1981)
Year/Make/Model: 1973 GMC Motor Home
Unless you are a goofy white suburban family, no one likes to drive an RV, unless you are John Winger and Russell Ziskey and you have a fulled armed and operational RV. Made to look like an ordinary GMC Motor Home, it is the most elite vehicle the Army has for urban warfare.

Heavy Metal
Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States. With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are generally associated with masculinity and machismo.

Well, Barack Obama should be one happy guy. His big victory in North Carolina has pretty much locked up the Democratic presidential nomination. It is now virtually impossible for Hillary Clinton to defeat him in the popular vote or in the elected delegate category.
Thus, Obama has the nomination won unless another Rev. Wright crawls into the picture. Spinners who talk about re-votes in Florida and Michigan are dreaming; that will not happen. The Obama campaign would be foolish to participate. They played by the Democratic Party's rules and won. They're not going to sanction do-overs. Also, as Al Sharpton told me, any kind of superdelegate shenanigans will lead to massive demonstrations at the Democratic Convention in Denver, which would be disastrous for the party. So Obama seems to be in. Now comes the hard part - convincing Americans that he is the best choice for president without all heck breaking loose on the race front. Thanks in part to Wright's now immortal ""the U.S. of KKK' remark, the race factor has emerged big-time in this election. If you don't believe me, just look at the vote in North Carolina and Indiana. About 60 percent of whites voted for Clinton, as opposed to an astounding 90 percent of blacks pulling the lever for Obama. And working-class whites went even bigger for Clinton. No question there is a racial divide. Accepting that, Obama has two basic problems in the race arena. First, militant blacks reinforce negativity on race issues, and these pinheads just keep popping up. In addition to Wright, Philadelphia preacher Derick Wilson wrote in the Philadelphia Daily News that Obama is a ""house Negro' for not supporting Wright. Of course, that is insane, and a responsible newspaper would not have printed the lunacy. But in this hyperpartisan country, race-baiters will find a forum, and every time stuff like that gets exposure, racial animus comes back. Obama's second dilemma is convincing skeptical white voters that he and his wife are sympathetic to their concerns. Let's be honest, few white Americans would tolerate Wright for five minutes, much less 20 years. And Obama's comments in San Francisco about blue collars seeking refuge in guns and church hurt him badly. So the senator must clarify his philosophy without belaboring the issue. Even with his verbal eloquence, that will not be easy. I do not expect Obama or Sen. John McCain to dwell on race, but surely some of their surrogates and the media will exploit the issue to the fullest. Any kind of perceived racial comment will be splashed all over the place. That, of course, will be bad for the country and bad for the candidates. But it's coming. No question. Veteran TV news anchor and author Bill O'Reilly is a host on Fox News. His "Radio Factor" can be heard from 1 to 3 p.m. weekdays on NewsTalk 1300 WIMO-AM.More like this story
