Daily Driver
Okay, this post isn't about a hot rod, it's about a everyday weeniemobile. My daily driver (98 Dodge Stratus) rolled down a hill, went over a raised well, and hit a house ($3.800.00 damage, but insurence is fixing it) . Anyways, we're going too trade it off as soon as we get it back from the bodyshop. I'm looking at a blue 2 door 2000 Olds Alero GL. V-6 auto with 35,000 miles on it for under $8,000.00. Just hopeing someone could tell me about these cars. Anyone have/had one ??? Any info would be very helpfull.

Wow, how did you do that? and can we see some pictures of that damage? I have heard that the Alero has reliability issues, and the 3.4 V6 in it is not that great of a motor either. To be perfectly honest I think the best way to go would be to look at an Accord in that price range.
No imports. Going GM for a daily driver this time. Don't know how the Stratus popped out of gear (It's a automadic) See pics. http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286196075 Can't see the damage under there car, but there is quite a bit according too the 3 bodyshops i got estiments from.
Last edited by z3pr; 07-23-2004 at 06:05 PM. |
And, it's a Honda, so it'll last you about 300,000 miles if you drive it sainly and about 200,000 if you rod the piss out of it.
I can't find the type of information I wan't, searches are really only giving me individual peoples problems. The Alero's haven't been on the road long enough to show their longevity. I made a comment concerning reliabilty because I know the Grand Am and the Alero are the same car. At the garage I worked at, we a more Grand Am's coming in for work than what should be considered normal, and we only got the ones that were out of warrenty. Most came in for alternators, head gaskets, throwing codes, and interior parts problems.
My neighboors had an Alero for a year, the reason I got when I asked why they traded it in was "it was always having to many problems". Most Grand Am/Alero owners I know seem to either think the car is just ok or they don't really like it. http://www.google.com/search?q=alero...n&lr=&ie=UTF-8 |
Thanks for the info. If I do get the Alero, I would trade it off before 80,000 miles. We currently have 88,000 on the Stratus, and thats more then we usually keep a car for.
Oh you should be ok then, I'm used to how everyone in my family keeps cars for their life time.
My family usually trades off our daily drivers at 80,000 miles. We usually only keep cars for 3 or 4 years. My street rods and 4x4's are a different story, I don't worry about mileage on the fun ones.
i had a friend with an alero and she was always having me fix ****, now my girlfriend has a 91 accord...we replaced the factory battery 3 months ago =) i drive a 68 chevelle....so that makes up for it
The Alero is a vary good car. It is biult on the N-body platform along with the Grand Am and the Malibu. The Alero came with the 2.4L 4cyl and the 3400 60* V6 engines. The 4 banger had the option of a 5 spd or a 4 spd auto. The V6 only came with the auto.
The problems that the car suffers from spreads accross the whole N-body family. The most noticible is the brakes. They are prone to warping rather quickly, but replacing the crappy factory pecies with good aftermarket one fixxes that problem. By pieces, I mean the rotors and pads. The second problem with these cars only apples to those with the 3400 engines. The Lower Intake Manifold Gaskets are prone to blowing and allowing collant to leak into the engine. If this happens, the collant mixxes with the oil and creates a milky white substance that you will see on the dipstick and in the valve cover. If this happens, the LIM has to be removed and the gastek replaced with the new GM reinforced gasket. Then the oil must be changed to remove all coolant from the engine. Then changed again after 500 miles. After that all is good. There are other small problems, but nothing I would even bother to mention because they are so minor. I had both of those problems on my 2001 Malibu. I replaced the rotors with aftermarket Brembo rotors and am running Performance Friction Carbon Metallic Pads. The LIMG let go around 54K miles and was repaired at the dealer under warranty. If you want a lot more extensive information, check out N-body.net . intruduce yourself and ask away, we/they will be more than glad to help you. Hope this helps a little. Chris |

Penguins Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux, part-owner of the team, was at a golf tournament Tuesday and was asked about Murstein's group, which includes Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino. "I think they still are in the running," Lemieux told the Toronto Sun. Lemieux's comment, coupled with the fact that there is no letter of intent yet, could be an indication that team owners want to see if they can coax the price higher.more You can also follow along on this subject in the KKF...

National Children and Adult Services + Children
Minister for children and families Edward Timpson calls for social care leaders to share their innovations
Improvement must be driven from within children's services, not imposed by ministers and Ofsted, the leader of the Local Government Association has warned
A creative county council project aiming to shift the expected level of ambition for children in care is already having pleasing results
When we intervene in a child's life, our decisions are based on balancing the risks and benefits of conflicting options. The quality of assessment in care planning must be improved
We have to consider the motivational characteristics of people who enter the helping professions to achieve lasting change in social care
Phil Neal explains that councils play an important part in making sure children and families get the help they need sooner rather than later
David Simmonds, cabinet member for education and children's services for Hillingdon council, talks about some of the issues the sector faces at the National Children and Adult Services conference 2012 in Eastbourne

Help ensure industrial animal agriculture is held accountable for its pollution
By Julie Janovsky
The Pew Charitable Trusts
Pollution from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) is a major threat to our nation's waterways. These operations house thousands of animals and generate tons of animal waste, which, when not properly managed, can impair water quality, kill fish, cause algae blooms and contaminate drinking water sources.
Despite the risks that this pollution poses to public health and our environment, the big animal agriculture industry has continuously fought efforts to regulate CAFOs, and the current rules largely allow a "catch me if you can" structure. To ensure that industrial animal agriculture is held accountable for its pollution, enforcement of existing CAFO rules must be a top priority.
Every several years, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance chooses priorities for its enforcement efforts. The EPA is now seeking public input on what those priorities should be for 2014-2016. We must make sure that CAFO pollution is on that list. Please contact the EPA now and let them know that federal oversight is absolutely critical to keeping CAFO waste from contaminating our waters.
Thank you for helping to ensure that industrial animal agriculture is held accountable for its pollution.

The mother house of the Knights of the Order of Saint James (soldier-monks who protected pilgrims along the route to Santiago de Compostela) was built here in the 12C, three centuries before Ferdinand decided to build a magnificent monastery worthy of the power and wealth acquired by knights during the Reconquest. The 100m-long façade has two storeys of niches and windows. A parador occupies part of the monastery nowadays.

US 4018861 A Abstract The present invention relates to a novel consumable guide nozzle suitable for use in the electroslag welding.
Claims(4) 1. A method for preparing consumable guide nozzles for use in electroslag welding comprising:
a. blending together fine metal particles and a liquid heat hardening adhesive; b. coating the outer surface of a hollow metal guide tube open at both ends with a quantity of said blend at least equal in weight to the weight of the guide tube; c. compressing said coated guide tube; d. heating said compressed coated guide tube until said adhesive hardens, and e. recovering a consumable guide nozzle suitable for use in electroslag welding comprising a hollow metal guide tube having a coating of fine metal particles adhered to the outer surface thereof. 2. A method according to claim 1 wherein said compressed coated guide tube is shaped to the desired shape prior to being hardened.
3. A method according to claim 1 wherein said heat hardening adhesive is sodium silicate.
4. A method according to claim 2 wherein said heat hardening adhesive is sodium silicate.
Description This application is a division of copending application Ser. No. 239,072 filed Mar. 29, 1972, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,761,674 issued Sept. 25, 1973. Electroslag welding in general is a process whereby heat is generated by passing an electroslag current between an electrode and a ground base to create a weld pool of the molten electrode. The passing of the current through the electrode melts the electrode to provide a weld pool suitable for fusing metal articles together. Recent developments in this area of welding techniques include the evolvement of consumable guide nozzles for use in the electroslag welding technique. A rather detailed description of the electroslag welding and a particular apparatus suitable therefore can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,518,397 issued June 30, 1970. A consumable guide nozzle generally is a hollow tube through which the consumable electrode usually in the form of wire passes into the weld pool of the particular welding process being conducted. One purpose of the consumable guide nozzle is to direct the electrode wire into the welding pool of the process being conducted. The consumable guide nozzle also serves as a means for adding other metal components to the weld pool to thereby provide a final weld having a desired metallic alloy. Many variations of consumable guide nozzles as well as consumable electrodes have been disclosed in the prior art. For example U.S. Pat. No. 3,325,619 issued June 13, 1967 provides a cpnsumable nozzle of a metal alloy having ceramic rings around the surface thereof to inhibit arcing to the metal workpieces which are being welded. U.S. Pat. No. 2,137,471 issued Nov. 22, 1938 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,023,130 issued Feb. 27, 1962 each provide procedures wherein the electrode itself is made up of a metal tube containing hard carbide particles. U.S. Pat. No. 2,345,758, 2,510,960, 2,909,778, 3,118,053, 3,215,809, 3,448,241, 3,457,388, 3,491,225, 3,531,620 and 3,534,390 each present in various forms consumable electrodes containing fine metallic particles encapsulated within a metallic shield or consumable electrodes and consumable electrode guide nozzles. These compositions generally provide an outer tubular body having fine metallic particles disposed therein. There also is usually designed a means for an electrode guide wire to pass through the consumable nozzle. There are circumstances where it is desired to add to the metal of the consumable electrode a given quantity of other metals in order to provide a weld alloy having a given composition and thereby specific physical properties. Unfortunately, the electrodes and consumable nozzles provided by the hereinabove noted prior art are substantially made up of solid metal tube or shell which encapsulates the metallic particles desired for the composition of the weld. Thus by following the procedures of the prior art, the amount of additives as alloys in the weld is substantially restricted to the quantity which can be placed within the metal sheaths provided. The present invention is a method for preparing novel consumable guide nozzles which are comprised of fine particles of metal bound together around a guide tube. By use of the consumable guide nozzles of the present invention, a hardfacing alloy metal containing the desired components in the weld composition can be prepared. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for preparing novel guide nozzles for electroslag welding in a variety of shapes and forms and containing any metallic composition which is desired. One embodiment of the novel consumable guide nozzles of the present invention can be seen in the illustrations of FIGS. I, II and III. Referring to FIG. I, a consumable guide nozzle comprised of guide tube 10 which can be any type steel or metal desired is surrounded by a matrix of fine particles of metals which have been compressed, shaped and baked around the surface of the tube to provide a consumable guide nozzle which when added to the melt of the consumable electrode provides a final metal alloy hardfacing composition of the desired physical characteristics. FIG. II illustrates a consumable guide nozzle comprising metallic guide tube 12 similar to that of guide tube 10 in FIG. I where the composition of the metallic particles which have been fused around the guide tube can comprise particulate metallic carbides blended with other metal components to provide the surface often desired when hard surfacing by electroslag technique. FIG. III illustrates a consumable guide nozzle having guide tube 14 similar to that of FIGS. I and II surrounded by a matrix of metallic particles which can be similar to those disclosed in FIGS. I and II with the variation that the design of the guide nozzle provides that as the weld pool rises, increasing quantities of the alloy of the guide nozzle are added to the slag pool thereby providing a variation of metallurgy across the surface of the weld. This is particularly useful in hard surfacing wherein different parts of the wear surface of the workpiece require varying physical properties. In order to more specifically define methods and compositions of the present invention, the following examples are herein presented. Small metal particles passing through a 120 screen meash were blended together as follows. 140 grams of ferrochrome, 8 grams of ferromanganese, 4 grams each of ferromolybdenum, zirconium and titanium were blended together and added to a container of 20 millileters of 60 percent of sodium silicate in water. The metal particles were agitated in the sodium silicate until all were surface wetted. Thereafter the excess sodium silicate was drained and the metallic particles were placed in a mold having a 195 millimeter long hollow center tube having a 31/2 millimeter internal diameter and a 7 millimeter outside diameter in a manner that the metal particles surrounded the outside of the tube. The composition was thereafter placed in a mold and placed in a press. The mold was subject to a pressure of 2000 psi and was thereafter baked in an oven at 200� F. for 2 hours. At the end of the time a formed, dried consumable nozzle of the components disclosed was provided. The total weight of the consumable nozzle including the center steel guide tube was 200 grams. By way of comparison, a metal sheath was provided of the same dimensions as the previously disclosed consumable nozzle and the sheath was filled with the metallic particles of the identical compositions of that shown in the example above. The tube held a total of 75 grams of the particles whereas 160 grams of the particles were compacted in the compressed baked nozzle. One of the specific advantages of the method of the present invention for preparing the novel consumable nozzles herein disclosed is the fact that the nozzles may be formed to any configuration which is required in order to provide the necessary hardfacing to a specific area. For example, the consumable nozzle having a 90� angle can be formed so as to provide for the surfacing of a corner of a metal object. Thus the present invention provides a novel consumable guide nozzle suitable for use in electroslag welding comprising a central guide tube having a coating of fine metallic particles on the outer surface thereof comprising at least fifty weight percent of the nozzle. The present invention also provides a method for preparing consumable guide nozzles suitable for use on electroslag welding comprising blending fine metallic particles with a sufficient quantity of a liquid heat hardening adhesive to wet a substantial amount of the particles, coating the outer surface of a metal guide tube having openings at both ends with the metallic particle-adhesive blend and thereafter heating the coated tube until the coating has substantially hardened.

The Swiss will not have more EU QE
January 20, 2015 by SARTRE · Leave a Comment
In the ridiculous charade that passes for the foreign exchange currency markets, the ease upon which a 39% spike in the Swiss Franc to the EU has most financial journalist puzzled. A flagship of establishment journalism like the Washington Post provides a quaint explanation in Why Switzerland's currency is going historically crazy. The Swiss intend to keep their exchange rate at 1.2 Swiss francs per euro caused unsustainable negative competiveness in Swiss exports to EU customers. How many times have you heard that same old song? Corporatist media consistently spins a yarn that suppressing one's own currency is good for business.
Condemn Islamic Terror and Shield Zionist Atrocities
January 19, 2015 by SARTRE · Leave a Comment
Surviving in a world of offensive double standards comes easy for people who lost their moral compass. Most culturally deficient pawns have such limited intellectual capacities and ethical fortitude to apply the same critical standards to zealots, who practice and defend barbarism no matter where it is committed. The narration that masquerades as objective news reporting out of the mass media, acts as a gatekeeper to provide political cover for Zionist protection. If the eternal struggle between Muslims and Jews was the supreme existential conflict, why would Christians take sides, when the purported feud between cousins, drips blood no matter whose hand holds the sword?

A BREAKING ALL THE RULES Editorial
The threat of terrorism and the theatrics of bloodshed are powerful tools in the psychological warfare that is leading up to a final conflagration. Watching Paris is Burning is a sober spectacular for the mass media brainwashed, but for geopolitical observers in the know, the time proven and trusted strategy of using fear over security breaches works every time. Missing in the scores of all the manipulated "situations" is a full appreciation of the grand view of who really benefits from a high anxiety society that always succumbs into a greater level of a police state.

New World Order Pope – Frankie the Fake
The Catholic Church has a long history, for good and bad, that has shaped the political fortunes of Western Civilization for over two millenniums. From the conversion of the Roman Empire under Constantine to the pagan ridden culture of feast days and devotions to the Great East–West Schism of the 11th century, the "Church" has invited skepticism and criticism while the spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ took a back seat to the temporal lust for power and dominion. Throughout the turmoil of the Common Era, scholarship and core doctrine professed a profound belief in the teachings in the Gospels, the promise of salvation and the sanctity of individual life.

Are you intellectually and emotionally prepared to confront a new twist to Israeli claims for identity and a political homeland? If you are, test to what extent you have an open mind. The article, Leaked report: Israel acknowledges Jews in fact Khazars; Secret plan for reverse migration to Ukraine, will present a position that is difficult to imagine. When political necessity confronts hallowed claims, what will a determined Zionist do to sacrifice their fundamental assertion for legitimacy?

The motives behind the expose report on CIA practices of torture misses the critical issue surrounding the "Agency". Most Democrats and many left wing partisans enjoy pointing the dagger at George W. Bush and his cabal of dedicated conspirators. While the first family of fascist facilitators are certainly an indefensible clan of criminals, the essential element about the Central Intelligence Agency is that gathering and interrupting clandestine tradecraft, produces little effect to enhance an American First foreign policy.

Lock Day 2006 May 26th is Lock Day!
Author Comments
Yeah so this is my movie that I made for LockDay 2006. Have fun (or don't...)
(half way in, there's a minigame. Use arrow keys to control it)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
One of the best
I am glad that Lock Day managed to get its own category, even though it was not featured on the front page as much as Clock Day. I was very surprised that the rating was not higher, especially considering that it was submitted on Lock Day. I liked all of this and it is ironic it has this name as it is that good. As I am familiar with this website, I could tell the "Numa Numa" part was made by Wonchop. I loved how you put in a lot of satire and was not just random stuff. Most disturbing was the black and white rape scene.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Lock Legion Pwns <3
That was hilarious! Peach is like "Do drugs, kids". That's twisted but hilarious. And Banana lock raping same game? A+ Gold. But rap sucks.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
a few parts u could without...
reeeeeeeeeeeeeal funny tho! nude pics tho? cmon... wats up wit that?

Good lock day flash.
I like the kill whitey part. It was the best part of the movie.
Good job on this flash.

April 2 – LoopManDan April 9 – Kevin Fox Band April 16 – Leo Clarke April 23 – Randy Amann of the Pickin' Pig April 30 – Sidecar Jones, featuring LoopManDan and Jennifer Ellis
April 2nd Bands
Honey & Houston is singer/songwriters Lauren Houston, Heather Turner (Tupelo Honey) with lead instrumentalist Mark Cretcher and Daniel Peterson on drums. Their original folk/americana music blends country and blues influences with sweet "sister" harmonies and a little taste of gypsy on the side.
The Tillers got their start in August 2007 when they started thumping around with some banjos and guitars and a big wooden bass. They began picking up weekly gigs around the city's bar scene. It didn't take long before their signature treatment of classic folk songs became the preferred versions of Cincinnati locals.
The Tillers have since won over Cincinnati's bar and festival scene, and launching tours with tireless momentum. They were awarded CityBeat Magazine's Cincinnati Entertainment Award for best Folk and Americana act in 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014.
Musically, the band wears many hats. Their sound has proven to be an appropriate fit with a wide range of musical styles- traditional folk, bluegrass, jazz, punk rock and anything else they might run into. They have shared the stage with a broad swath of national touring acts, ranging from renowned folk legends such as Doc Watson, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Guy Clark, Country Joe McDonald, Jerry Douglas, Iris Dement, Pokey LaFarge and The Carolina Chocolate Drops to rambunctious rock daredevils like the Legendary Shack Shakers.
April 9th Bands
For the past eight years, Jake Speed has hitchhiked down Cincinnati's American folk, bluegrass, and ragtime music highway with his award-winning band, The Freddies. Their traditional and original songs
Leap right out of Depression-era freight trains and right into Ohio River steamboats. Their near-vaudeville style stage shows and quick-witted charisma rope in loyal fans of new and old generations alike.
Called "Perhaps the best folk duo our region has to offer" (The Historic Southgate House), Shiny and the Spoon portray the intimacy of Johnny Cash and June Carter, with head-turning vocals and a vibrant acoustic core, complimented by sprinklings of ukulele, guitar, harmonica, and a good old-fashioned boot-stompin'.
Their debut and home-recorded EP earned nods from Cincinnati publications such as City Beat and the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards, as well as the renowned UK webzine "Americana UK" who called it "an accomplished debut that does exactly what an EP should, makes you want more of the same." Original members Amber Nash and Jordan Neff first me in late 2008, and felt an immediate and easy chemistry. Partially a blind date, the elementary school teacher first laid eyes on a lanky Jordan Neff while he was entertaining guests with an impromptu accordian concert at a party. Within a month, they had formed a duo, "quickly turning every head in the region." (The Historic Southgate House). Joined in 2011 by music veterans Pete Brown on upright bass, and Matt Frazer on drums, the group has quickly moved from house concerts to bandstands, offering new audiences the same unadorned simplicity as before, as though the couches had only been pushed far enough away from the stage to allow a better view. Shiny and the Spoon offers a sound that blends the heart of American folk music with catchy-pop melody lines and lyrics that portray "a deep current of romantic skepticism that runs just beneath the calm surface." (Ric Hickey, Adventures of a Loose Wreck). It is this quality, unusual to such young songwriters, that has quickly made Shiny and the Spoon, one of the regions most acclaimed folk acts. Their surge in popularity is marked by the creation of a "Shiny and the Spoon" sandwich by local lunch hot spot Tom + Chee. After launching their first full-length album, "Ferris Wheel", to a packed house, the group, fronted by Nash and Neff, continue to garner attention and fans with their genuine demeanor and honest and simple sound. Produced by John Curley of Ultrasuede Studio, their latest release promises to "raise them to the big league." (AltOhio)
April 16th Bands
Hickory Robot hail from the fertile acoustic soil of Cincinnati, Ohio. The original trio of guitarist Jim Pelz, mandolinist Scott Carnder, and fiddler Lauren Schloemer came together in 2008 and by 2010 had released an album of critically-praised originals entitled "Firefly". In 2011 bassist Mike Georgin completed the quartet and a year of constant gigging resulted in a large regional following and a Cincinnati Entertainment Award nomination for Best Bluegrass Band.
In October of 2012 the band released their 2nd album, "Sawyer", to even greater acclaim, and a Cincinnati Entertainment Award nomination not only for Best Bluegrass Band for the 2nd year in a row, but also for Album of the Year. Citybeat Magazine's summation: "stellar songwriting"; "impeccable musicianship".
2013 has seen the band expand their touring territory, playing festivals and shows throughout the Midwest, opening for acts as diverse as Dr. Ralph Stanley, John Cowan, and Hot Buttered Rum, and continuing to garner praise and gather fans. As one critic pronounced, "The Robot is on the Rise!"
Buffalo Wabs & The Price Hill Hustle is a Cincinnati based, 4 piece Americana/Folk band that blends the tradition of heroes like Woody Guthrie and Mississippi John Hurt w/ contemporary flavor. In its short existence, the band has grown its fan base by getting out in front of folks. Whether it's the great variety of local shows or their regional touring, they always bring high energy onto every stage on which they perform.
Buffalo Wabs (aka Matt Wabnitz) spearheads this group, playing guitar and taking most of the vocal duties. Casey Campbell, Ian Mathieu, and Scott Risner comprise The Price Hill Hustle side of the equation. The group is deeply rooted in the tradition of Old Time pioneers; however, the energy they bring to a live performance could burn down the rowdiest honky-tonk in town.
"The Hustle," as they are often referred to, brings something uniquely different that is rarely found with bands. The band brings its own vibe everywhere it goes. It's almost a culture in itself. Followers have even begun to invent their own vernacular; for example, you may hear someone say they got "Hustled" last night. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Getting "Hustled" is just one's way of saying, "I saw Buffalo Wabs & The Price Hill Hustle and they TORE IT UP!" Hopefully you can get yourself "Hustled" real soon.
April 23rd Band
The Cliftones are an original reggae band from Cincinnati, Ohio. Their unique blend of roots and dance hall rhythms in combination with their 8 member band (including a phenomenal horn section) shakes the rafters and leaves the crowd a sweaty tired mess every time. Their influences range from The Gladiators, The Congos, Lee Perry, Tony Rebel, Buju Banton, Michael Rose, Yellowman, Black Uhuru, Aswad, Bob Marley, Eek A Mouse, Dennis Brown, Max Romeo, the Hooters and many more.
April 30th Bands
Maximum chamber pop from Cincinnati, Ohio, featuring singer-songwriter Robert Cherry, bassist-producer John Curley, drummer Joe Klug, and keyboardist-singer Guy Vanasse. In a world carved out by Plastic Ants you're only as tall as the height of your hopes. And things, well, they're looking up.
The story of Green Light Morning started back when Aaron Bright (keyboards/backing vox) and Aaron Patrick (lead vox/guitar) met touring in previous bands the big creak and Oval Opus respectfully. They met when both bands had a song placed in the same Universal movie called Winter Break. This led to their bands trading shows across the Midwest and up and down the east coast. This has offered Green Light Morning a quick uptake in initial fans despite the bands infancy.
It was important to the Aaron's that if they were going to reinvigorate their music career that they carefully craft the best recording they could. This led them to recording their first EP with producer Rich Stine at Fidelitorioum Recording studios in Kernersville, NC where legendary bands like REM, Ben Folds Five and Wilco recorded their initial albums. It was mixed by Micah Wilshire (Mark Ballas, Pat McGee, Honor by August) and mastered by Brad Blackwood (Maroon 5, Alison Kraus, Sister Hazel, the Black Eyed Peas). John Benham aka jb4 (drummer) had been working with the duo and jumped on board with the band at this time.
After hearing the results of their work the trio quickly knew they needed to form a band and the next logical move was to add in Ted Burger (guitarist) and Michael Theobald (bass) to the mix. In November 2011, Green Light Morning was born. A fresh new writing project based on story telling lyrics combined with soul and melodic hooks. Whether Green Light Morning plays as a two/three piece or a full band their shows offer a honest and rememberable experience in which you will find yourself singing along.

Review Details
Blichmann AutoSparge
- Product Review (submitted on September 1, 2011):
- In theory this is a great idea. I tried to use this on my system to recirculate as well as sparging, but on my first attempt at using it, it leaked out of the front where the shaft moves in and out to control the flow more than out of the hose. I'm glad I put a ball valve in front of it so I could control the flow manually. I'm heading down to Home Depot tomorrow to look for a toilet float and valve to replace this with. Man I'm am so disappointed with Blichmann Engineering.

Re: Ed Reed released
Reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0j2dVuhr6s I guess nobody in the FO could speak Ed Reed''s jive. Must be a white wing conspiracy to have him removed (obviously Rick Smith is an Uncle Tom). Holdin' a brother down!!!! Couldn't have a damn thing to do with stinking it up on the field and being a waste of a roster spot.
Of course, if one ignores contradictory observations, one can claim to have an elegant or robust theory. But it isnt science. Halton Arp |

When Odin detects your phone it will show the port in which your phone is connected in yellow background (at the top left). 10. If everything is set and ready click start and wait for 6-7 minutes and let the Odin finish the job. 11.

I am not able to register on samfirmware.com! I never receive a confirmation email!! I even checked the spam folders, but i never get an email. and can you guide me to the latest available gingrbread rom for asia or india?
I just made one and it sent me a verification account and it is working too ... I think you mismatched your email address while filling out the form try again and be sure to check what you've entered is correct. The latest gingerbread (aug 20) for asia region (esp. China & Hongkong) is available but it works for indian galaxy pop too. Download it from here Hotfile.com: One click file hosting: S5570ZSKPB_S5570OZSKPB_S5570XXKPL.rar Password is samfirmware.com
Did you wipe your data and cache on recovery.. If not solve d try again with same/try using European version, that worked fine with my phoe...
I used an other version instead which i had found in one of the threads in this forum. That is fine for me. And why is it necessary to wipe off data and cache for flashing new ROMs?
Wiping data and cache is recommended for clean and fresh install ... But, i don't think it is a must. It is asked to wipe data and cache to remove saved data and files during installation as well as from previous rom.
I think samfirmware does not respond to yahoo as it happent to me, try registering with a gmail adress
I don't you are right coz it responded to my yahoo account and now i am also a member of samfirmware.com
I don't know why you are not getting emails notification, check spam folders for it might be there. For me they sent an confirmation email within 3-5 minutes after registering. If you really can't signup try using bugmenot.com

Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network hopped on The David Glenn Show on Tuesday, and when asked if there was a prospect from the Carolinas who is flying under the radar, he didn't hesitate with his answer.
"The forgotten man is James Hurst from North Carolina. Because of the injury, he couldn't compete in the postseason stuff, but you talk about somebody that could play tackle. I think he could slide inside and play guard as well."
"I think he's somebody that could sneak into that second round. If not, you're probably looking at a really good third-round pick."
Jeremiah also touched on highly rated wideout Sammy Watkins out of Clemson and ex-Florida State receiver Kelvin Benjamin. Click below to hear the full interview.

When you look for a job in HR department, do you find yourself going to Career Builder, Monster, Dice, Hot Jobs, etc. sites, and performing searches on each of those sites? If that is the case then Job Finder is for you. It can find jobs for you from all the above websites and more. You mention all your search criteria from one platform and it does all the heavy work of finding jobs based on your criteria from all www.motiont.com/jobfinder.aspx
Rosemarie in Birmingham, Alabama 79 months ago |
Recruiting does not prepare you for a true HR role. You need to begin your HR career working up through the ranks (HR Admin reports, file maintenance; HR Coordinator creating HR Metric reports and understanding the data you're gathering and analyzing) so you can learn how a HR dept operates and gain analytical knowlege by having your manager mentor you in handling personnel issues such as determining compensation, terminations vs discipline (policy infraction vs outright violation), conducting investigations, creating and administering training programs, etc. You will not be able to jump straight into a HR Generalist position no matter whom you know. Thanks to Sarbane-Oxley, HR must be able to defend in court the chosen candidate: N+2 with structured interview documentation as to how/why the chosen candidate was more qualified for the position than the others who were interviewed. Unfortunately, you will be up against others who have real HR experience. You are a newby. Don't be in such a rush. Plan on at least 5 yrs of broad HR operations experience before you may have gained enough broad HR work experience to be considered for a HR Mgr position. You will also benefit, gaining HR knowlege from studying for the PHR certification (Professional in Human Resources) through your local SHRM Chapter ... a great place to start networking! |

Axel in Bluefield, West Virginia 31 months ago |
I have found that in many of my jobs coincidentally I have had to do a certain amount of HR work. Manager of anything seems to put you in a position to manage people and have some type of HR duties. In more than one continuing ed class and seminars I have attended for HR, they have asked how people got into the HR field and the majority that I have heard fell into it the same way I did. I was an office manager for a clinic, having HR duties, a manager at a retail type franchise ending up with HR duties, a bank branch manager having HR responsibilites, moved into an administrative type position and gave some support to the HR Director. When the Director left, I was asked to take over the position. My advice would be to continue applying for HR positions, but in the mean time, try to be in a position to manage people and keep your HR skills current. |

Now that's something I'd like to take a bite out of! And of course, I'm talking about the chocolate there!
Mario Lopez was on hand to help unveil a Dove mint and dark chocolate sculpture of himself while at The Grove in Los Angeles, Calif. on Thursday afternoon. And to that, I say screw the calories, give me the chocolate! That thing just looks too good (and of course, I'm talking about the sculpture again!).

I don't know anybody else in the world that is as supportive as you have been, after I have told you my deepest secrets, and you still listen to me, even as much my furriness has forever changed my life and our relationship.

The Greed That StranglesWhat we want and what we need,What we can and cannot see,Is it true, what we do,Or is this something new?Its been happening all along,These changes and phenomenon,This is true, happening now,Something we cannot allow,Its no joke,Not fantasy,Now, in reality,You must start,Somethings amiss,Or well lose nature,In all its bliss,What you can and cannot see,What you want and what you need,Eventually the world will bleed,Then itll be too late

Why Some Observers Think Apple Watch Won't Succeed
Most of the connected and astute observers of Apple are confident that the Apple Watch will succeed. Perhaps brilliantly. Apple has the savvy, resources, engineering talent and executive leadership to make it a success. So why are there pockets of observers who are sure this new product from Apple will fail? John Martellaro ponders the negative reactions surrounding the Apple Watch, before we have even a hint of sales success.
TMO Daily Observations 2015-03-04: Apple's Pro-worker Stance in Silicon Valley
Apple is making a positive move with contract workers in Silicon Valley by hiring its own security staff. Bryan Chaffin and Dave Hamilton join Jeff Gamet to look at Apple's decision to bring its contract security staff in house and how that fits in with the Silicon Valley economy. They also have some thoughts on Nissan-Renault's praise for Apple's plans for electric cars.
Apple's Security Contractors are about to Become Employees
Apple has decided to transition its on-site contract security force into company employees at key Silicon Valley locations. Apple's decision follows a similar move by Google last October, and is being praised by local union representatives as a positive economic change.

$415M Settlement in Apple, Google Anti-poaching Case gets Preliminary OK
The US$415 million settlement Apple, Google, Intel, and Adobe proposed in the employee anti-poaching lawsuit brought by Silicon Valley employees has a preliminary greenlight.

Google Ready to Launch it Own Cell Service Network
Google has plans to go beyond making the operating system for your smartphone and now wants to offer its own cell service, too. The Internet search giant said it plans to make an announcement in the coming months, and that it doesn't plan to compete with the current crop of cell service providers.
The Mac Observer Spin The Mac Observer Spin is how we show you what our authors think about a news story at quick glance. Read More →
Google launching its own MVNO cell service sounds like another shakeup for the market even though the company says this is a way for it to experiment. If Google offers price plans and features AT&T and Verizon customers find appealing, they'll have to respond or risk losing some of their marketshare—just as they've had to do with T-Mobile.

Did u install the catalyst 12.4a hotfix?
Well, I can at least say that I'm having the same issue with the same model of graphics card...
I am having the EXACT same problems.. my card is a ATI radeon HD 4570... game looks fine then the birds and writing go absolutely berserk... start up game, and it looks good for a min but then u start getting triangular portions of the ground missing... and it gets worse... sounds EXACTLY like the artifacting that the 12.4a hotfix was supposed to fix, but it does not for me...
I'm running the same graphics card and tried reinstalling and using the hotfix but to no avail.
having the same issue with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200...ran the beta without any issues

Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's ambitious plans to transform Italy remained on track Friday after a day of protest over his government's economic policies sent tens of thousands onto the streets but failed to deliver anything resembling a knockout blow.
Labour unions said some 40,000 people had turned up in Rome to voice their opposition to Renzi's labour market reforms, while many more had stayed away from work across the country in response to their call for an eight-hour general strike.
But with the numbers pounding the pavements down from previous waves of demonstrations and the tone boisterous rather than explosively angry, all the signs were that Renzi had emerged unscathed from his latest toe-to-toe with the country's once influential labour organisations.
The Rome demonstration was one of around 50 across Italy in what the unions intended to be a show of anger over measures Renzi has defended as necessary to stimulate the country's moribund economy and remedy sickly public finances in line with eurozone rules.
"Today there has been an extraordinary response from workers opposed to the Renzi government's policies," Maurizio Landini, one of the most best-known and most militant of Italy's union leaders, told a rally in the northern city of Genoa.
"The piazzas are full, not just here in Genoa but in all of Italy."
Dozens of flights were cancelled or rescheduled and there was only a minimum or partial service on most forms of public transport.
The focus of the protests was Renzi's "Jobs Act," which seeks to stimulate job creation and new hiring by making it easier for companies to lay employees off while reducing severance rights in the initial years of a worker's contract.
Unions also decry what they term as insufficient efforts to stimulate economic growth against a backdrop of record unemployment, which for 15-25 year-olds now stands at over 43 percent.
The strike and demonstrations were scheduled weeks before Renzi successfully fast-tracked the new labour market legislation through parliament, leaving Friday's events with a largely symbolic feel.
The strike was called by Italy's biggest union grouping, the CGIL, and two smaller confederations, the UIL and UGL.
The Catholic-linked CISL group of unions, which is the second biggest by membership, did not back the strike call, saying it would be counter-productive in the current context of an economy in recession for the third time in seven years.
Although he is the leader of the Democratic Party, partly rooted in Italy's once mighty Communist Party, Renzi has been willing to take on the unions over their defence of what he sees as an archaic labour market system.
In a break with established tradition, he has also completely sidelined union leaders from discussions on the country's economic direction.
- Popularity hit -
That has increased social tensions with protests in October and November occasionally spilling over into violence.
"The government has to choose between conflict and dialogue," Susanna Camusso, the Secretary General of the CGIL, warned on Friday.
UIL leader Carmelo Barbagallo added: "Today we have brought Italy to a standstill in order to start again in the right direction."
Renzi's popularity has taken a hit over the last month as the debate over his reforms has rumbled on with no sign of a turnaround in the economy.
But he continues to enjoy approval ratings most other leaders would love to have and both polls and anecdotal evidence suggest most voters back the 39-year-old's drive to shake-up Italy.
At the end of October, when there was still a chance of blocking the Jobs Act, there were hundreds rather than tens of thousands of protestors on the streets of Rome.
The Jobs Act is only the first stage of a broader programme of reform for Renzi which also includes an overhaul of the country's snail-paced judicial system and electoral reform aimed at producing stable governments with clear parliamentary majorities.
Renzi has often derided the unions as dinosaurs operating in a world that no longer exists, notably saying last month: "If the unions want to negotiate (on economic policy), they should get themselves elected to parliament."
But in his only comment on Friday's strike, he struck a more conciliatory tone.
"The general strike is a moment of protest of great importance. We have a lot of respect for it even if I do not agree with the reasons for it. Good work to those who are working and good luck to those who decide to strike," Renzi said in a statement on Thursday.

There is now a 3rd place to get good soup dumplings. The first 2 are in Flushing and yoo can now get them in Bayside at Mama Su's. I only tried the dumplings and the scallion pancakes. Both were very good.
They have a funky menu too. Mostly Asian but some German sausages and Mexican food.
But the soup dumplings are made right there and they are tasty. And the staff was very personable and helpful.
I scanned the menu.
re: tkln
Checked it out for lunch today. The place was bigger than I expected. It'll seat about 60 people. The waitress came to the table to take our order and later brought the food to the table. But everything was served on plastic or paper. They did not use real plates or utensils.
The food was hit and miss. The soup dumplings and scallion pancake were very good. The soup dumplings had a delicate skin and good flavor (please note that I am not an expert on soup dumplings).
Also ordered two soup noodles (wonton with udon and grilled pork chop with rice noodles) and a spare ribs over rice. The wonton with udon was okay, but the other two were disappointing. The pork chop had a sort of sweet/sour sauce that did not work well. The spare ribs were 4 big ribs that had little flavor.
I will go back and try their other dishes since I live nearby, but I would avoid the pork chops and spare ribs in the future.
re: rsticks
Finally went last night...I'll echo Robotron's comment - the soup dumplings and scallion pancake were very good (though I too am no expert) but everything else we tried was meh. My OH insisted on getting chicken wings and was severely disappointed (I didn't even try them). We also got the ginger beef - the flavor was good but the beef was very very chewy and not tender at all. I'm not picky about my beef but I only ate a few pieces. The coconut bubble tea was great though. :-)

China's Economic Stabilization Is Now Reflected in the Equity Market
China's business surveys continue to show stabilization in economic activity. The ISI Group's seasonally adjusted MNI Survey index (see discussion) shows some recent improvement. The survey is fairly balanced, with 75% from manufacturing and 25% from services.
MNI: - Business conditions continued to expand after the lows of mid-summer, when they dropped to levels not seen since the height of the global financial crisis in late 2008 and early 2009. Key sub-indicators softened but mostly remain a few points into expansionary territory, still vulnerable to any external or domestic setbacks. Expectations for the future continued to improve in December at a faster pace but for the most part they too have not recovered very far into expansion.
Similarly the HSBC Manufacturing PMI (final measure from this morning) shows the bottoming out of manufacturing activity.
HSBC/Markit: - Output at manufacturing plants in China expanded in December, and for the second month in a row. Although the rate of expansion was modest, it was the fastest in 21 months. Total new orders also increased but at a faster pace than in November, the quickest since January 2011. Exactly 15% of panellists noted increased order volumes, a number of which attributed growth to increased client demand. Meanwhile, new export orders fell slightly following a modest increase in November. Just over 12% of firms reported lower new export orders in the latest survey period. Fewer export sales were linked to weak demand in Europe, Japan and the US.
In response to these positive indicators, some of China's institutions and money managers continue to come into the equity market that was abandoned by the retail sector. The Shanghai Composite is up for the year after a 15%+ rally in December. Even in China the retail capitulation signaled the bottom (see this post on Nov 30th). It is important to note however that China's economic stabilization is still quite tenuous and heavily dependent on economic activity in the US (see discussion).
