Hot answers tagged lighting
Shulchan Aruch O.C. 672:2
שכח או הדד ולא הדליק [....] ומיהו הני מילי לכתחילה; אבל אם עבר זה הזמן ולא הדליק, מדליק והולך כל הלילה. ואם עבר כל הלילה ולא הדליק, אין לו תשלומין
If one forgot and didn't light, or purposefully didn't light [....] however, this is only lechatchila; if [the end of sunset] has passed and one didn't light, they should light ...
This can be found in Rashi, Onkelos, and Ibn Ezra. To cite a post about this on Balashon:
The word tzohar (or tsohar) appears only here in the Tanach and there are a number of explanations for the meaning:
window (Onkelos, Rashi, Ibn Ezra) - based on tsohorayim צהרים - noon. The light of noon is compared to the light entering the ark via the window. ...
Rav Moshe Mintz, a posek in Ner Israel, told me that you can ideally use any light that can be focused in one area (as opposed to the sunlight or the main light in a room, which lights up the entire room), as the purpose of the candle at night is to contrast with the dark in the rest of the room.
Rabbi Moshe Feinstein actually addressed a similar concern, Maris Ayin with regards to your lights on timers -- an onlooker will see your dining room suddenly -- click! -- lit up. He allowed it; so I'd assume the same should apply here.
A) Get a pair of timers for the lamps
B) Switch both lamps on before Shabbos and leave them on all Shabbos. Just point only one at the snake at a time.
The relevant discussion is in S.A. O.C. 240. The Mechaber seems to forbid without exception (the Taz brings the Arizal that says the same thing). The Ramo allows an indirect light (as in through a sheet or reflected off of a wall), however the Taz and the Shach there both say that in such a circumstance it is limited to the same exception as by day - one has ...
This is not a complete answer but just my impression. I am assuming that the underlying concern is one of mitzvah haba b'aveira, a mitzvah whose performance comes about through the commission of a sin.
In the case of Channukah candles, there is no requirement to use ANY menorah
so if I can be mekayem ...
In short, the mitzvah to light has already been fulfilled by your wife, assuming she's Jewish, as per answers and comments to this question, and you have already gained the mitzvah via your wife's lighting.
The fact that others in the household light the candles is what is called hiddur mitzvah - enhancing the mitzvah. If you're following this rule, you ...
See the Rambam in הלכות איסורי ביאה Ch 21:10 that it's forbidden.
However, it would seem, that having the lights on before and after the act would be allowed - along with everything else in 21:9.
ט אשתו של אדם, מותרת היא לו; לפיכך כל מה שאדם רוצה לעשות באשתו, עושה--בועל בכל עת שירצה, ומנשק בכל אבר שירצה, ובא עליה בין כדרכה, בין שלא כדרכה, בין דרך אברים. ...
You can see a series of commentaries on Bereshit 6:16 here.
Some of the more relevant ones include
Ibn Ezra
צהר. מקום שיכנס ממנו האור והוא מגזרת צהרים.
Bereshit Rabba
"צֹהַר תַּעֲשֶׂה לַתֵּבָה" ר' חוניה ור' פנחס ר' חנין ור' הושעיא לא מפרשין ר' אבא בר כהנא ורבי לוי מפרשין ר' אבא בר כהנא אמר חלון
Rashi (quoting the above midrash)
"צהר" ...
Although it is unlikely given the power of most commonly available lasers, it is possible to damage the klaf using a laser if you had a high powered laser.
Some may not like the idea of using a laser since it is moving away from the ancient tradition of using a yad, which is considered to hiddur to the Torah in the same way that all the Torah adornments are ...
Based on my knowledge, I would say that even if you would say that since light bulb filaments get hot, it would only be an issur drabonon. This is because you aren't heating the filament with intent to mold the metal into a shape like a blacksmith rather you are heating the metal filament for light, the case now becomes a מלאכה שאין צריכה לגופה.
Here is an article by Rabbi Michael Broyde & Rabbi Howard Jachter that discusses the entire topic:
(side note regarding heating a bulb before it becomes yad soledes- just because the glass encasing of the bulb isn't yad soledes doesn't establish that the filament itself is not.)

Bloomberg was buying voter support with his plan for a $400 property tax rebate for homeowners. In an interview on WNBC-TV, Mr. Ferrer, a former Bronx borough president, said it was not surprising that Mr. Bloomberg's approval rating had recently risen, considering his proposal ''to send most people, or 700,000 people who happen to be homeowners and co-op and condo owners, a $400 check in the mail.'' City Council Speaker Gifford Miller, another Democratic mayoral hopeful, supports the rebate. Asked about Mr. Ferrer's comments, Mr. Bloomberg told reporters yesterday, ''There's nothing political'' about the rebate. Mike McIntire (NYT)

COLLEGE STATION -- As if college wasn't expensive enough, President Loftin wants to increase Texas A&M's tuition for the 2013 fiscal year.
In a meeting Wednesday, President Loftin recommended a 3.95 tuition increase which will help pay for staff and faculty merit raises.
If the board of regents approves the increase in May the proposed tuition hike would generate roughly 16-million dollars in revenue.

text: Nov 19, 2013 13:34 Coroner: Woman found dead in bayou is homicide victim Coroner: Woman found dead in bayou is homicide victim Advocate staff report Nov. 19, 2013 Comments Sheriff's officials returned to the bayou along South Tiger Bend Road on Monday after an autopsy determined a woman whose body was pulled from the waters this weekend died of blunt-force injuries to her head, neck and chest. Dr. Beau Clark, the East Baton Rouge Parish coroner, ruled the death a homicide. The woman's identity had not been released late Monday, pending next of kin notification. Few details about the investigation were made public Monday. Clark said the woman could have been killed with a fist or some other object. "Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference," he said of blunt-force injuries. The body was recovered in a quiet area in the eastern reaches of the parish, north of Hoo Shoo Too Road. Detectives were investigating the possibility the body had been dumped into the Amite River and then floated into the bayou. Clark estimated the woman, whose body was discovered by boaters, had been in the water for less than a week. He said she was identified through her fingerprints. Sheriff's officials returned to the bayou Monday afternoon in search of some type of evidence. The Baton Rouge police helicopter could be seen circling overhead.

Mark Twain once observed, "A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on." His observation rings true: urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus public-health scares circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas (business people, teachers, politicians, journalists, and others) struggle to make their ideas "stick". In this indispensable guide, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds draw their power from the same six traits.

I hope so, but it is looking kind of doubtful. What do you think?
Will there ever be another Nadal/Federer final in a Grand Slam?Gabe32 05-02-2010, 01:11 AM I hope so, but it is looking kind of doubtful. What do you think? @Sweet Cleopatra 05-02-2010, 01:12 AM I hope so too.. Filo V. 05-02-2010, 01:29 AM Yes. And it will be this season. djb84xi 05-02-2010, 01:40 AM I would love to see these two play in Paris........I think it has a better chance of happening there, considering they are the two most mentally tough players at the slams. How things pan out also depend on how the draws come out. We shall see. Silvester 05-02-2010, 01:47 AM I think so, maybe not RG because there's a good chance they meet before the finals, Wimbledon there's a very good chance and the AO as well, especially the way Fed played there this year. Least likely is probably the US Open since Nadal is usually pretty worn out by then and gets beated by other hardcourt guys. theseth1119 05-02-2010, 02:04 AM I said 2-3 more, but sometimes it feels like there will never ever be another Rogie vs. Rafa GS F. Let's look at the next four grand slams and see who you think would win each matchup. FO, W, USO all 2010, and AO 2011? I'd say Rafa, Rogie, Rogie, Rogie. andy neyer 05-02-2010, 02:11 AM There will probably be 3 or 4 more and, yes, Feddie would get owned again (unless they meet in Wimby). Sunset of Age 05-02-2010, 03:16 AM gaBjdLQ0LJ0 "The game is over." Nope, no finals anymore. too bad. It was good as long as it lasted, though. Good? LOVELY. :hearts: NicoMedellin 05-02-2010, 03:25 AM I think maybe one more at this year RG or Wimbledon Gabe32 09-14-2010, 04:48 AM 3 slams after I wrote this and no Rafa/Roger final. Any chance still? MalwareDie 09-14-2010, 04:52 AM Never again. Fedal produces ugly, ugly crap and Federer is too old now. finishingmove 09-14-2010, 04:56 AM try the torrent sites. Waterfox 09-14-2010, 05:01 AM Sad. Luinir 09-14-2010, 05:05 AM one more imo... likely wimbledon. ZaZoo) 09-14-2010, 05:07 AM Interesting stat - This is the first year there is no Fedal in slams since 2004. They will meet more for sure. CCBH 09-14-2010, 05:12 AM I hope a couple next year. I am sure Roger will be fired up for the Slams at least next season, and Rafa is on a tear. Of course, Roger better overtake Nole and get back to no.2 soon. I want the old Fedal finals at RG-Wimby back to back, those were the days. LaFuria 09-14-2010, 05:31 AM We might as well see a Nadal-Bendoverdasco final. In fact at this point Federer could be worse than Verdasco, and that's impressive. born_on_clay 09-14-2010, 12:42 PM 2-3 I suposse :) Topspindoctor 09-14-2010, 12:45 PM Best chance is Wimbledon 2011, because apart from Fed and Nadal, no one can play on grass :o |

On Jan 25, 1996 Alberta QB Justice Joanne Veit issued her ruling on the case of Leilani Muir - marking the end of an unsavory era in Alberta history - the period of eugenic sterilization that began in 1928. By this time forced sterilizations were performed in over 30 states. Such eugenics programs suffered negative publicity during the post-WWII Nueremberg Trials and many programs were abandoned throughout the free world after that - except Alberta that continued until 1971. Leilani herself was sterilized on Jan 19, 1959 at age 11 after being told (falsely) that she was undergoing an appendectomy that was needed. Due to a series of mis-communications by various doctors and bureaucrats, her mother abandoned her to the Michener Institution for Mental Defectives in Red Deer - and Leilani was never properly evaluated or tested. Soon after she was sterilized it became clear to staff that she did not have below-average mental ability and that she was closer to normal than credited and could have been properly educated.
Leilani did not find out about her sterilization until she was unable to conceive during her first marriage. This led to her marriages failure and in her second marriage, attempts at adoption were stymied by false allegations of child abuse.
Here is the Wikipedia background noting that three of the "Famous Five Feminists" who advocated for the right of women to vote (Emily Murphy, Henrietta Edwards and Louise McKinney) were also major proponents of this Alberta Government legislation to protect against unwanted immigration yet effected so many women. It was the United Farmers of Alberta - (Brownlee Liberals) who designed and introduced this legislation and not the Social Credit Party.
The Bill was sponsored and introduced by the then Minister of Agriculture and Health for Alberta, the Honourable George Hoadley. During second reading of the Bill, Mr. Hoadley referred to the "need for the state to be protected from the menace which the propagation by the mentally diseased brings about" (Edmonton Journal, 1928a). Likewise, during third reading of the Bill, Premier Brownlee is reported as
stating that the Bill applied only to those who were a "menace to the community" (Edmonton Journal, 1928b). During second reading, Mr. Hoadley stated that:
"If it is quantity of production of the human race that is desired, then we don't need this Bill, but if we want quality, then it is a different matter" (Medicine Hat News, 1928)
Likewise, when the National Council of Women passed a resolution in 1925 calling for the sterilization of mental defectives, the greatest support came from its members in Alberta and British Columbia. These included such prominent women as Nellie McClung and Emily Murphy, who were at the forefront of the campaign for eugenic sterilization in Alberta (Christian, 1974; McLaren, 1990).
The same connection between sterilization laws, marriage laws, and the eugenics movement is evident in Alberta and British Columbia. A provision prohibiting a marriage where one party was "an idiot, insane or mentally incompetent" was first introduced in Alberta in 1925 (Solemnization of Marriage Act, S.A. 1925, c. 39, s. 29), only three years before the Sexual Sterilization Act. Likewise, a similar marriage prohibition was enacted in British Columbia in 1930, three years prior to that province's Sexual Sterilization Act (Robertson, 1994).
It was the perceived benefits to society, rather than the interests of the individual, which were the driving force behind the Act (Alberta Institute of Law Research and Reform, 1988; 1989).
Among the discredited academics involved in this case was Prof. John M. MacEachran who was founder of the Department of Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Alberta, and served as its first Head. He also served as the University of Alberta's first Provost. He retired from the University in 1945, and died in 1971 at the age of 94. He was Chair of the Provincial Alberta Eugenics Board from 1929 to
Retrospectively - Prof. MacEachran was heavily criticized for how he handled a number of these decisions. It was noted that over 2800 sterilization decisions were made while the legislation was in force from 1928 - 1972 (44 years or 64/yr) and that each took 10 minutes on average.
One of the most dominant and recurrent themes of eugenics philosophy in the late 19th and early 20th century was the emphasis on this link between mental retardation and criminality, and the consequent "menace" which mental deficiency posed to society. For example, in his influential book published in 1914, Feeble-Mindedness; An Inquiry into its Nature and Consequences, Henry Goddard, a leading specialist in delinquency in the United States, emphasized the correlation between mental retardation and crime, noting that "the Moron ... is a menace to society and civilization ... he is responsible to a large degree for many, if not all of our social problems" (Linn & Bowers, 1978: 627).
The link between feeblemindedness and crime, and the resulting "menace" to society was also very much alive and well in Canada in the early part of the 20th century. For example, E.W. McBride, the Strathcona Professor of Zoology at McGill University in the early 1900's and a leading proponent of eugenics in Canada, called for the weeding out of prostitutes, criminals and drunkards by means of sterilization. Similarly, the work of Carrie Derick, a professor of botany at McGill and a prominent Montreal feminist, purported to show a high degree of mental deficiency among criminals, which she concluded indicated the need for society to free itself of the "menacing shadow of the mental defective" (McLaren, 1990: 24).
The same themes are evident in the work of Dr. Helen MacMurchy, a medical doctor and a government inspector of the feebleminded in Ontario from 1906 to 1916. Professor McLaren describes MacMurchy as the "best-known Canadian defender" of the argument that sterilization was better than segregation as a way of dealing with the menace of feeblemindedness (McLaren, 1990:42). In one of her annual reports, MacMurchy concluded that mental defectives were responsible for up to 60% of society's alcoholics, 66% of its juvenile delinquents, 50% of its unmarried mothers, and possibly 97% of its prostitutes. She expressly endorsed the view originally coined by Henry Goddard, that "every mental defective is a potential criminal" (McLaren, 1990:40). This was also a favourite phrase of Emily Murphy in 1996 (CanLII 7287 (AB QB)) the many speeches which she gave throughout Alberta in the 1920's, espousing the benefits of eugenic sterilization (Christian, 1974).
The emphasis of eugenics philosophy on preventing criminal behaviour is also apparent from the famous judgment of Mr. Justice Holmes in Buck v. Bell, 274 U.S. 200 (1927), a decision of the United States Supreme Court upholding the constitutional validity of the sterilization laws of Virginia. In the words of Justice Holmes (at 207):
"It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes ... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
The Law Reform Commission of Canada described the decision in Buck v. Bell as having validated the "foundation of the eugenists' argument - the belief that mental illness, mental retardation and criminality are inherited" (Law Reform Commission of Canada, 1979: 26). Buck v. Bell unquestionably had an influence on the enactment of the sexual sterilization legislation in Alberta and British Columbia (Alberta Institute of Law Research and Reform, 1988).
Another factor was Liquor Prohibition that was introduced into Canada with support of the Christian Women's Temperance Union (CWTU) as Wartime Measures in 1916-17. Most were repealed after the boys came back by 1924.

Joe Gandelman: Angry that Obama's golfing?
Shortly after he angrily denounced the obscene beheading of freelance journalist James Foley by a member of the terrorist Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, a smiling President Barack Obama was photographed playing golf. And so it started — just like clockwork.
Obama's not really working... He's ignoring the country's crises.. He doesn't really care about Foley... The optics are bad.

eng - trans problem help!!!!!!
have a 30 pearson and it has a yan-mar eng and odd ball japanise trans.. after extracating the pair from the eng compt i find that i am unable to seperate then. so i guess that the splined shaft is fused in place. any ideas????? firemanbob
eng - trans problem help!!!!!!
Yanmar usually applies a transmission from its subsidiary Kanzaki and with gears, etc. from Hurth Transmission.
Typical Yanmar transmission dissassembly requires a special set of tools to remove the output shaft nut from the output shaft. For example the 2QM20 requires special wrench #177099-090910 and special coupling lock #177099-09020 .... this will get the output coupling disconnected, then its a simple dissassembly once you get the shifting fork disconnected. For a 3QM30: special wrench #177090-09100, and coupling lock #177090-09140. Be careful, as the Kanzaki Transmission requires a lot of special tools, etc. to properly disassemble,etc. If you''re located on the East Coast, contact Mack Boring Co. in NJ who is the master distributor for Yanmar for the eastern USA ..... also get the service manual, to make your life easier in itemizing the special tools needed, the sequences and other specs. What you are about to undertake is a near impossibility without the special tools required. |
eng - trans problem help!!!!!!
I fixed the last problem. now i am unable to remove the damper plate from the flywheel.. rusted tight... I was told that I may as well just rip it off and replace the plate, which is I understand is about $100.00... what do you think??? firemanbob

A Mom Blog Social Network
Hate her or love her, who wouldn't want to spend a day in Kim K's closet! With leather/leather look lol pants being the hot thing this season, here's a cute way to wear them. When selecting faux leather pants, if its too shiny, leave it be. If you look at a leather jacket, unless its lambskin, its pretty dull. Use that as a guide when creating your look for less. Remember, coated denim pants are a great alternative, if you feel like the faux leather looks too plastic.
On the left, a bow neck shell under a cashmere sweater with leather pants. On the right, bow neck blouse with vegan leather (faux leather) pants or coated skinny jeans. A draped front cardigan puts a different spin on the look. You can use a ruffled neck blouse with either look, I couldn't find one online I liked. Pair both looks with platform pumps, and you are officially "Keeping up with the Kardashians."

Republicans seem ceaselessly enamored of litmus tests, but the newest one — Do you believe President Obama loves America? — makes birthers seem witty. The question arose after former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told a private audience that he doesn't think Obama loves America. He noted that Obama wasn't raised like him or members of the audience (conservative businesspeople and assorted media), which, though probably true, wasn't really the point.

First there's the spark, then the conflagration, followed by the litigation and then, surely, the movie. Call it "Moonlight Fire," and prepare to suspend disbelief. The story is a doozy — a tale of corruption, prosecutorial abuse, alleged fraud upon the court, and possible government cover-ups in the service of power and greed. All the script needs is a Forest Service employee urinating on his bare feet in his lookout tower just as the fire was beginning.

Speaking: 1 Kitten per Equation
Posted: April 5, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: speaking | 2 Comments »Use a ratio of one cute cat photo per equation in your talk.
This is a concise way of saying that a ratio of one part heavy, technical content to one part light-hearted explanation is ideal.
You may have to play with the ratio depending on the audience or the expectations, but people react best when they have the chance to learn something fundamentally hard and interesting while, at the same time, getting to smile.
And yes, DO use photos of cute things in your talks! The hack here is that people naturally smile when they look at adorableness. If they are smiling in your talk they credit you for the positive feelings. It's an easy way to boost people's perceived enjoyment of your talk and to get your audience into the kind of mood where it's easier to walk them through more complex, technical material.
2 Comments on "Speaking: 1 Kitten per Equation"
Stephen Hawking once wrote that readership drops by half for every equation in his books.
The Weninger Corollary is that probability of peer review acceptance doubles for every equation presented.

mcdiarmid 5pts It makes me laugh that people who drive Rams drive them for one reason the engine and in saying that the new Cummings is nothing like the old one. The rest of the truck is junk. Ford takes chances and is a leader for a reason the rest try but fail. Like I have said again we are dealing with two companies that went bankrupt and had to take bail out money just a couple of weeks ago the head of Fiat asked the Canadian government for more money to upgrade their plants for the mini van. And let's not forget about government motors another 1.5 million cars and trucks to be re called. I could go on and on take the bumper step in the new Chevy and GMC trucks not very original they first used that stupid idea on the first generation avalanche. The new eco diesel in the ram or as I like to call them Fiat is just that a fiat motor that has not been proven in this market. The new super duty as well as the new F 150 will continue to lead the way.
MAlcolm Hanshaw 5pts The diesel in the ram 1500 is made by a company that Fiat bought from GM the same company that makes the cruse diesel
lray801 5pts "The revised Powerstroke is said to make more power than the 2014 model's 400 hp and 800 lb-ft of torque."Is the author serious? Ford released the numbers (440/860) for the new Super Duty over a WEEK ago....Good to see the SD getting some love. Hope it's a looker!
Skywarped 5pts As much of a blue oval fan as I am, I think the current super duty is ugly as sin. There's this big, brash front end followed by a rear end with tiny little slits for taillights. The round fenders on the duallie look wimpy too. I hope they can strike some kind of balance with the new one.
4.25x3.75 5pts What an improvement! Am sure it will look like a Ford so I will still prefer the better Ram.
Raul 5pts Ford thaught us what we know about trucks. So every time they talk about trucks, we should listen!!
4.25x3.75 5pts They have sat on their fat laurels if anything while the much smaller scaled Ram and co is giving the lessons....
Silver Raven 5pts @4.25x3.75 - LOLOLOL Your funny!!! Ram, same boring in line 6 for I can't remember how long, ugly as sin until recently and I'm sorry but Ram aint got the Kahuna's to teach Ford anything...they buy everything that makes their truck a truck...
Alex daOriginal 5pts @Raul actually wasn't it ram that pioneered the whole idea of "a truck should look and feel good while being a truck" thing? until the Ram did the whole mini semi truck hood thing trucks where just utility bricks. then GM Ford and Toyota followed :| with mixed results. i kinda want a utility box back...
redbloodedxy 5pts @Silver Raven @4.25x3.75 Ditto that!At least Ford makes their own diesel engine, transmission and Sterling 10.5 [rear] axle.
TheWeatherWarrior 5pts My guess would be that the cab may get the Aluminum treatment some (hood, fenders, etc.) but the bed will still be steel. The exception being is if they do like the old Super Duty and use the same bed as the F-150 since many of the HD series will sans the bed for contractor / utility beds. I say this because how squared off the nose appears to be under the camo. It actually makes me nervous that the boxy idea has gone overboard now and this isn't going to go over well.
Silver Raven 5pts Looks like a Fat Chick wearing a Wal Mart Jogging outfit ;). Redbloodedxy said it all, cept for the Aluminum Body thingy!!! Hey Yall, how much weight ya figure they loose with the SD....betcha its 1G or real close!!!
redbloodedxy 5pts At a glance it appears that this truck will borrow sheet metal from the '15 F-150, except for a more expansive cab and more massive frame and suspension fitments. It also appears that the live axle front is staying put [thank you!]It will be a plus to see more design cohesiveness between the two lines.
Alex daOriginal 5pts will it be another completly different vehicle from the F150 "yet all lumped together for sales stats..." or will be finally go back to being an F150 with a hevy duty frame like pre Superdity F250s and Chevy and Dodge HDs?
DirkHardPec 5pts @Alex daOriginal You mean like how GM "lumped" Avalanche sales to squeak out their last sales victories against FoMoCo? I dont know why people find this to be a big deal. The 150 works. The SD works. There's nothing to gain here by re-consolidating body parts.
Alex daOriginal 5pts @FordCosworth @Alex daOriginal ok i'll type slow for you... the 1/2 ton 3/4 ton and 1 ton models "still with me?" are VERSIONS of a single Silverado or Ram. they share the same body, interior, inner body, box, and overall size. like they always have... the only difference being frame "duh" and engines. Ford used to do this as well http://ls1tech.com/forums/attachments/vehicles-sale-non-lsx-powered/166141d1234714854-1994-ford-f250hd-4x4-reg-cab-long-bed-7-3-idi-diesel-95k-miles-94ford-003.jpg that's an F250. looks exactly like an F150 except the rims.
FordCosworth 5pts @Alex daOriginal @FordCosworth Different frame = different platform. So like I said GM and Fiat lump their sales together, just like Ford.But but but the sorta look the same...ppfftt. Maybe thats why Ford kicks the pretenders butts.
Silver Raven 5pts @Alex daOriginal - So the GM HD and Fiat HD aren't real Heavy Duty trucks???? WTF does everyone know this ahahahahaha that's why they ride and handle the way they do!!! I typed slower..not sure if it helped though!!!
FordCosworth 5pts @Alex daOriginal Funny. But both GM and Fiat lump their 1/2 tons and HD's together for sales stats. Aren't the GM and Fiat 1/2 tons and HD's on different frames too?
Alex daOriginal 5pts actually if i recall right some of you would have no problem mixing Ranger and Explorer sport trek sales an in attempt to beat Toyota either.
Alex daOriginal 5pts @FordCosworth really i know your a ford shill but this is rediucluous dude... if we all go by FordCosworth logic the regular cab and 4 doors would be considered unique models because they have a different frames and different bodies :crazy:
Alex daOriginal 5pts @Silver Raven @Alex daOriginal how the heck did you got that I haven't a clue... and no... no... the GM and Ram trucks have and always will be real HDs.. infact in a sense it makes the F150 look like a panzy and really it was :| and thus why ford created a completly different Heavy Duty truck... that's right the Aero F150 is why there's 2 trucks. Ford feared the new style wouldn't work with the work croud. didn't stop dodge GO DODGE! GM never had a panzy styled truck... GO GM!
Todd27 5pts @Alex daOriginalWell whatever they are doing it is not working as well as what the boys over at Ford are doing.
Alex daOriginal 5pts @Todd27 @Alex daOriginal i'll give that they sell good, but stat for stat GM and Ram "specially Ram" are doing very well.
redbloodedxy 5pts @DirkHardPec True.Ford pioneered the 2-truck plan and guess who's been trying desperately to copy that magic ??
redbloodedxy 5pts @Alex daOriginal The Avalanche is a modified Suburban which is based on the Silverado. If you want to count that in the tally, then Ford should count the Expedition and Navigator.
Alex daOriginal 5pts @DirkHardPec well if you think about it the Avalanche is and was a Silverado by a different name. being a fellow GMT800/GMT900 truck sharing about 85 to 95% of it's parts with it's Silverado counterpart. http://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2008/08/06/00/23/2005_chevrolet_avalanche_4_dr_1500_lt_4wd_crew_cab_sb-pic-65055.jpeghttp://www.usedcarlover.com/images.aspx/id-501132011/2005-chevrolet-silverado-1500-011-p1.jpgalso not to mention the Avalanche generally had it's own sales statistics, the only time it was included with Silverado was when you combine all GM full size truck sales... because you know... it WAS a GM Fullsize truck... just with a different name...

"Dambulla" Top 5 Page for this destination Dambulla by jennifermueller
Dambulla Travel Guide: 54 reviews and 160 photos
We stopped in Dambulla to see the cave temples. This photo was taken about 1/3 of the way up to the caves.
Dambulla Rock Temple is one of the oldest Buddhist shrines in Sri Lanka. Dating from the 3rd century b.c.,the temple is consists of five caves, which have been converted into shrines containing 154 Buddha images.
Entry is not included in the Cultural Triangle Fund ticket and costs Rs. 500.
Because Dambulla is so centrally located near the intersection between the Kandy Anaradhapura, and Habarana (toward Polonnaruwa) roads, we passed through town twice. The climb up to the temples doesn't take long, so if you are in town . . . .
We stopped in town for some short eats and to make a phone call. While we were there I burned up a roll of film photographing this lively intersection.
Dambulla is a fairly sizable town with communications stores for making calls, shops for buying just about anything and a couple of banks.
- Pros:One of the largest, oldest cave temples in Sri Lanka.
- Cons:Not a lot else in town, images are typical of cave buddha images throught Sri Lanka.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Fantastic Add-on, I've used it for quite a long time. One thing that I dislike is the old drop menu options. I don't us the toolbar for it, so I use the drop menu. However, I feel this is a little slow because it's just a bland, single column list with no icons to quickly identify the menu options so I tend to miss the one I'm looking for. Why not make it more like the Chrome edition, with the Firefox SDK it makes it easy to use "panels", so you can make the interface more Chrome-like using HTML files in the panel. Plus then it would be restart-less since it would be adding things programmatically, instead of through XUL overlays.

They say that pressure makes diamonds, but it also crushes, pulverizes and demolishes those not strong enough to withstand it. If DJBooth nation's response to Providence emcee Jon Hope's last offering, the uber-approved Still Breathing, I've got a feeling that ratings for Hope's new leak, titled, you guessed it, Pressure, will be more on the diamond side of the equation. A deeply and coolly winding track produced by Taktix, who laces a piano melody over some hypnotic percussion, Pressure finds Hope reflecting on the pressures we all face through storytelling flows that will (hopefully) provide relief to listeners who find truth in his words: "Thinkin of a scheme, legal or a crime / I feel stagnant, my thoughts rewind / feelin like a has been / the past was my grind." It's good to know someone still makes music that means something. If you're enjoying the pressure Jon Hope is putting on wack emcees, be sure to check out his captivatingly titled upcoming project, Waterfire: Collection of Emotions, set to hit DJBooth's homepage on October 10.

Rancho Cordova parents arrested after investigation into toddler's death
Parents of a 15-month-old Rancho Cordova toddler who died last year have been arrested.
The toddler, Kameron Snowden, died June 16, 2013, according to the Sacramento County Coroner's office website.
The death of the child was deemed a homicide by the coroner, according to the Sacramento County District Attorney's office. It was found that the youngster had died from an infection due to ongoing physical abuse and neglect, according to a district attorney's office spokeswoman.
Jeffrey Snowden, 31, was arrested because he was the primary caregiver and was not providing care, according to the district attorney's office. He was booked into jail on suspicion of homicide and endangering the life of a child.
Tianah Awezi Maji, 35, was arrested for endangering the life of a child.

For as little known as he is, for as long ago as he lived and for a short a time as he was alive, it's amazing the amount of impacting work German short story writer, poet, dramatist, and essayist Heinrich von Kleist produced during his life time. Born in 1777 and dead of suicide in 1811, Kleist suffered the bane of many famous writers—ridiculed and dismissed during his lifetime but respected and revered once time passed and history decided he was a worthy entry in the annals of literature. Today his plays are considered classic stalwarts of the German theatrical canon and his prose is known to have heavily influenced Kafka and Mann. And once again, the English speaking contingent of world literature can thank Archipelago Books for bring his varied and masterful work to our attention.
The Selected Prose of Heinrich von Kleist is a collection of superbly crafted stories and essays that span cultures and centuries but deftly exposes the universality of human tragedy. Although at first glance the language may feel dated and melodramatic, it is deceptive to label him as a writer with an antiquated style that was only relevant to his era. His style is distinct and was also considered so at the time, and what becomes more evident to the reader as she moves through this collection of prose is that the complexity of his language serves as a respite for the reader from the tension created by the intricate plotting. Once the reader settles into his prose, the language laden sentences that seemingly turn themselves inside out mesmerize us into a leisurely pace that is comforting in its cadence.
But what drives the narrative are the perfect marriage of character and plot. From the beginning of each story, we know what will happen to these characters, yet still we read on because Kleist gives the illusion that hope is just after the turn of the page. A slight altering of a worn maxim can cover Kleist's characters and their travails—destiny hath no fury like a fate scorned. And scorned they are.
There are the cursed lovers in "The Earthquake in Chile" and "The Betrothal of Santo Domingo," the mysterious and plagued fortunes in "Saint Cecilia and The Power of Music (A Legend)" and "The Marquise of O . . ." and the ugly side of revenge in "Michael Kohlhaas." "Michael Kohlhaas" is more of a novella and is the mainstay of the collection. It chronicles the path of a horse trader, Michael Kohlhaas, who is wronged by a local junker and spends the rest of his life seeking vengeance. Of course he loses everything in the process, but Kleist draws this out in a believable manner.
What's also dazzling about this collection are the topics: unexplained pregnancy, biracial love affairs, and mental disorder. Sign me up. Perhaps the contentious nature of these stories caused hostility toward Kleist during his lifetime, but his unwavering commitment to truth makes his work seem more contemporary and more courageous considering the social mores of the time. His characters are the antecedents to what later became the classic character types in German literature. This innovativeness paired with his fast-paced plotting make him a necessary read for the consummate short story reader or writer.
Finally, the collection closes with two ruminative essays on meditation and art: "On the Gradual Formulation of Thoughts While Speaking" and "On the Theater of Marionettes" are light and astute pieces that display his process of self-reflection. After the intensity of the short stories that precede these essays, their presence and tone gives a welcome insight into the artist himself.
The Selected Prose of Heinrich von Kleist is a work that surprises, unsettles and engages. His language drowns you and the unfortunate fate of his characters enduring the relentless blows of an unforgiving plot keep you tense. These are classic tales from a talented writer whose work refuses to let literature or history to look away.
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .

i myself was a employee of glencare of wilmington.i am so grateful that finally some justice will be done to help those poor residents live in a safe home. my heart goes out to each and every one of them. i am a firm believer if you treat people like dirt it will come back on you, i know i was a decent respectable employee and i left because of the lies, and disrespect that i endured while there. the administrator of glencare of wilmington scratched the bottom of the barrel and got low lifes and criminals to work for them so they didnt have to pay good wages, »

Tool Review: Skil 3.6V Li-ion iX03 Screwdriver
The Skil iOX has been on the market since at least 2006. It's been a very popular product, particularly because of its lithium-ion battery, which holds a charge for up to 18 months (depending on the frequency of use), and light weight. This new incarnation, the Skil iXO3, maintains the 3.6V Li-ion battery and a svelte 11.2 oz weight, plus adds a couple of new features that are sure to appeal to DIYers and home owners.
If interested you can read the complete review here. Thanks, Carl |
