Only AI could make Zach Randolph, who they probably have to talk out of playing with a blunt tucked in his headband before each game, seem level headed and team oriented.
Some more coverage on NBA.com: NBA.com: Iverson on indefinite leave from Grizzlies What's really really sad is all of this is happening with less than 2 weeks into the season. If he calls it quits and retires now, there'll at least be some decent end to this sad sad downward spiral. Here's to hoping that he declares that he's retiring, leave almost the entire money on the table since he's done nothing to earn it so far, apologize to the Grizzlies fans and ride into the sunset.
From stardom to faildom. Must be a rough time for his ego at the moment. Why is he so thick? Just play off the bench, man. Not that hard. Mayo could have said great things about you such as how you helped developed his skills, etc. SMH.
Just saying, I think Memphis knew he wouldn't come off the bench, the Clippers were interested but AI told them he'd have a "serious problem" coming off the bench, hence they dropped all interest, so doubt he told Memphis any different. Iverson Q&A: Free agency was 'horrible' - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
the boy has mad skills and is so tough but sadly he just doesn't get it. He thinks last year was bad because he only averaged 17 points... points you score in a game doesn't tell half of what you are as a player. He thinks he's the same player he was 5 years ago and able to play 50 mins a night. he could be such a wonderful addition to a team as a 25 min a night backup but thats not him, and he really should just walk away from the game for his own mental health because he's never going to find what he wants at this point, and all he does is ruin his rep more and more.
Seriously, AI has three choices. He can either come off the bench until he proves he can start, retire, or go play over in Europe.
When was it decided that Iverson wasn't capable of starting? Especially in Memphis!!! Its like if you repeat something enough it becomes fact. Fair enough Denver were a better team with Billups but they improved after getting Iverson and he didn't cause any problems there, I hear a lot of revisionist history especially about his time there.
Iverson won't see these choices. He'll see... 1. Complain and whine. 2. Sit out...away from the team. 3. Maybe if we're lucky...retire.
All AI has to do is adpat to the game. Become a better team mate when he's on the floor. If he proves to be a better player than whose starting, then things will work themselves off. He's just coming off of an injury.
for a young team he's not a fit... the young players need time to grow and learn.... on a vet team ready to win a title.. they share the ball normally and the starting unit isn't going to want a player that has to have the ball in his hand 90 percent of the time to be effective... Thats why I am saying he needs to be a bench player at this point in his career if winning a ring is his goal... where he can play 20 mins a game when the teams starters/scorers have are on the bench and he can get all the shoots he wants. If his goal is to start and not worry about winning then he needs to find a team that isn't going ready to win now... and has no young talent at guard, not sure which team that is... teams were not beating down his door this summer, just because of what he wants.... He really could be a great addition to a team like the lakers or SA if he wanted to be a bench player and understood he's no longer 25. I wish him happyness in life, but I just don't see him finding it in the NBA at this point.
Who has the patience to watch AI jack up 35 shots a game to score 20 points? With Mayo, Z-BO, and Rudy there is not enough shots available.
I actually don't think AI's feelings are that rare among players...i just find it amazing at how much athletes can't keep their mouth shut about it. He should know at this point in his career that if he says anything it is going to get him in trouble. Is it really worth it to talk about it...I mean, A: Your not going to get more playing time for saying thi B: Everyone is gonna hate you for it.
Iverson's career is over. Finito. He's going out like a flaming kamikazee pilot. You know his agent is wiping the sweat off his brow and grateful that he got one more contract signed..
Yo Jay. Detroits deal for Iverson will prove to be the ticket back to the promised land before it's over. The distraction he provided was unpleasant but temporary (like you being here). He was a selfish ballhog who initially landed in an organization willing to stroke his self-preening azz for way too long. He eventually became the caricature he was playing. I agree that he should have retired last summer and it looked like 29 other GM's agreed with that prognosis. But the Grizz? Well, they're the Grizz......
Report: Iverson considering retirement - KansasCity.com Who do we blame for possibly ending Iverson's career and should we put this to a poll? Joe Dumars Chauncey Billups Richard Hamilton Mike Curry Rodney Stuckey George Karl

The revelation has angered journalism advocates in New Zealand.
Coleman said the order, first issued a decade ago and reissued in 2005, was heavy-handed and inappropriate, and that he'd asked the defense force to rewrite it to remove the references to journalists.
The story on Stephenson came after he sued the defense force for defamation. Stephenson had sought 500,000 New Zealand dollars ($405,000) in reparation after claiming the defense force had damaged his reputation by implying he fabricated an interview with a unit commander. During the trial this month, the defense force acknowledged the interview may have taken place. The trial ended with the jury unable to reach a verdict.
Stephenson, who is on vacation in Europe, could not be reached Monday.
The White House did not respond Sunday to requests for comment on the Sunday Star-Times story.
McClatchy said it had not yet spoken with its former freelancer, or with the U.S. or New Zealand governments.
"We don't have much information on this. We really have learned about it this morning from the Star-Times report," said Anders Gyllenhaal, McClatchy's vice president for news and Washington editor.
The company based in Sacramento, California, hasn't lodged a complaint with U.S. officials because it is still trying to figure out what exactly happened and when, Gyllenhaal added.
The NSA sometimes shares intelligence information with New Zealand agencies under a long-standing arrangement known as "Five Eyes." In addition to New Zealand and the U.S., the alliance includes Britain, Australia and Canada.
Snowden's leaked information exposed the reach of the U.S. programs that monitor millions of telephone and Internet records inside and outside the U.S. Officials have said the surveillance tracks only metadata and not specific details like the contents of telephone calls. They say the surveillance programs have averted multiple terror attacks.

Celebrating a history like no other
The MCC was founded on November 15, 1838 when five men - Frederick Powlett, Robert Russell, George B. Smyth and brothers Alfred and Charles Mundy - agreed to form a cricket club to be known as the Melbourne Cricket Club.
Since then, the club has been an integral part of Melbourne life - principally as venue manager of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), but also as a large, diverse club comprising people from all walks of life and backgrounds.
For generations, MCC membership has been one of the most keenly sought-after in Australia.
Throughout this year there will be opportunities for the public, MCC members and waiting list candidates to recognise a milestone reached by few other institutions in Melbourne. These include:
• An open day on the MCG and in the Members Reserve for MCC members, waiting list candidates and the public. • A gala dinner for MCC members and guests. • A 175th Birthday Draw for members and waiting list candidates. • A commemorative cricket match on the MCG between two of the world's oldest sporting clubs - the MCC and the UK's Marylebone Cricket Club - on December 31, following the Boxing Day Test between Australia and England.
MCC president Paul Sheahan said he was honoured to be leading the club through its 175th year.
"The MCC is more than just a large group of members based at the MCG," Mr Sheahan said.
"It was prominent in developing the colony's cricket and played a major role in guiding the game until after the turn of the 20th century. It was also highly influential in the establishment of other sports in Victoria, including tennis, baseball and lacrosse.
"For almost two centuries, the MCC has funded and managed the largest and most attended stadium in Australia and today we also operate as a heritage preserver, tourism operator and custodian of public parkland.
"We invite our members and the broader public to participate in the festivities and join us in celebrating this rare and wonderful achievement."
For more information about the MCC's 175th anniversary, keep an eye on www.mcc.org.au/mcc175 and the MCC's social media channels - Twitter and Facebook.

Darden Restaurants Inc. has nominated a new slate of directors, to be voted on at its annual shareholder meeting on Oct. 10.
The casual-dining operator will retain just four out of its 12 current members and give four seats to activist investor Starboard Value L.P., an increase of one member from Darden's previous slate.
Starboard, which holds 8.8 percent of Darden shares, has issued its own slate of board members, and is supported by Barington Capital Group L.P., which owns about 2 percent of Darden shares.
The board proposed by Darden management would have four members unaffiliated with either Darden or Starboard, four Starboard nominees and four incumbent members.
Charles A. Ledsinger, Jr., non-executive chairman of Darden's board of directors, said in a press release that the slate would provide new perspective and "avoids many of the risks and destabilization that would result from full board turnover and giving control to a single shareholder's nominees."
The four independent nominees are Gregory L. Burns, chief executive of The Gregory Burns Consulting Group and former CEO of O'Charley's Inc.; Jeffrey H. Fox, non-executive chairman of the board of Convergys Corporation; Steve Odland, president and CEO of The Committee for Economic Development and former president of the foodservice division of Sara Lee Bakery; and Checkers Drive-In Restaurants Inc. CEO Enrique Silva.
Incumbents on the slate are Michael W. Barnes, Christopher Fraleigh, Michael Rose and Maria Sastre.
The remaining four candidates would be named by Starboard, whose own slate includes Jean M. Birch, former president of IHOP; Bradley D. Blum, former president of Olive Garden; Lionel L. Nowell III, former senior executive at Pizza Hut and CFO of Pepsi Bottling Group; Charles "Chuck" M. Sonsteby, former CFO of Brinker International Inc.; and Alan N. Stillman, former chairman of Smith & Wollensky and founder of TGI Fridays.
Baird Equity Research hailed the new slate, saying it reflected "a prudent approach," noting that the new slate "should help to bring new perspective to the company while maintaining some continuity."
Darden released expectations for the first quarter of its 2015 fiscal year, which ended on Aug. 24.
The company said it expects a loss of between 13 cents and 15 cents per share for the first quarter of its 2015 fiscal year, but it anticipates a profitable year overall.
The loss was largely the result of approximately 37 cents per share of "debt breakage costs" related to the planned retirement of $1 billion in debt, the company said. Otherwise, earnings per share for the quarter ended Aug. 24 would be between 31 cents and 33 cents, it said.
It anticipated same-store sales increases at LongHorn Steakhouse of 2.8 percent; The Capital Grille, 3.9 percent; Eddie V's, 2.5 percent; Yard House, 2.3 percent; and Bahama Breeze, 1.1 percent. It expected same-store sales decreases of 1.3 percent at Olive Garden and 0.3 percent at Seasons 52.
Traffic continued to decline at Olive Garden's 834 locations, the company said. Year-over-year traffic fell 0.9 percent in June, 4.3 percent in July and 2.3 percent in August.
LongHorn Steakhouse also suffered from traffic declines in June and July, of 1.1 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively, but it slightly improved 0.2 percent in August.
Darden has been plagued in recent years by sluggish performance of its largest brand, Olive Garden, and 706-unit Red Lobster, which it sold to Golden Gate Capital for $2.1 billion in July, against the wishes of Starboard, which said the price was too low.
Darden continues to expect net earning per share "for continuing operations" of between $1.81 to $1.90 for the fiscal year.
Darden reported progress on the turnaround strategy it unveiled for Olive Garden last winter. Guest satisfaction scores have risen at Olive Garden in the categories of attentiveness, pace of meal, food taste and "overall," the company said
Darden has remodeled three Olive Garden locations, and those three have seen traffic increase more than 10 percent on average. Another 75 remodels were planned for fiscal 2015, the company said.
The company-wide rollout of online ordering resulted in a 13-percent increase in takeout business at Olive Garden, Darden reported. It also said in a press release that it was testing tablets at several restaurants, "which has generated very encouraging results, including check growth due to an increase in add-on sales, increased table turns, a 60% pay-at-the-table rate and increased guest survey response rates, as well as an increase in tip percentage for servers."

A teenager who allegedly ran way from her family's home in Missouri last month has been found in Shreveport.
Just after 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, Shreveport police officers were dispatched to Willis Knighton Medical Center in the 2600 block of Greenwood Road relative to a runaway juvenile. Upon arrival there, patrolmen discovered 13 Amber White there. Detectives were notified and immediately responded. White was taken into protective custody and their investigation is ongoing at this time.
Based on information gathered during their initial inquiry, investigators arrested 25-year old Mim McCoy and charged her with one count of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. McCoy, of the 4100 block of Reilly Lane, was subsequently booked into the Shreveport City Jail.

Recently, I received a Laredo Defender holster for my SA 1911 from Kevin Manley at KDholsters. It's a beautiful piece of leather. As usual, Kevin has done a great job on fit and finish.
The stitching is absolutely perfect.
The snaps for the belt are excellant. They do not pop loose in day to day carry.
I use 2 different belts and the holster fits both.
There's no movement or slipping of the holster and it fits very snug against my side worn in the 3o'clock position. The holster is naturally curved and I really like the feature. My 1911 is pressed against me and does not print.
The draw is very quick. Retention of the gun is snug but I think the draw is better than any other holster I have for the 1911.
This is one great product. I've been using Kevin's holsters for quite awhile and they continue to evolve into exceptional holsters for the price.

Integrated fiber-coupled launcher for slow plasmon-polariton waves |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 3, pp. 3158-3165 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1063 KB)
We propose and numerically demonstrate an integrated fiber-coupled launcher for slow surface plasmon-polaritons. The device is based on a novel plasmonic mode-converter providing efficient power transfer from the fast to the slow modes of a metallic nanostripe. Total coupling efficiency with standard single-mode fiber approaching 30% (including ohmic losses) has been numerically predicted for a 25-µm long gold-based device operating at 1.55 µm telecom wavelength.

Of the Author and the FAQ ________________________________ Hello, I'm Maggotkill and I'm a 15 year old gamer from Greece. I especially like the dialogues of the GTA games and I'd be really proud to make a FAQ for the script of one of them. Liberty City Stories gripped my attention recently and it's script as well as dialogues amazed me for they are ingenious, smart and directive. This FAQ is quite simply the proof of my love for this addictive game and it's dialogues, despite of how stupid this may sound. The FAQ contains the script for all the missions of the game, including the primary missions and the racing missions. It also contains the non in-mission phone calls received throughout the game. Enjoy. ______________ III. Contact ______________ For the fact that this is my first FAQ, I may have some mistakes, or might be in need of corrections somewhere. A fact that makes my email address essential No one knows! This is the greatest support you can offer me, for my 'colossal' work! So, here it is: firstname.lastname@example.com. Drop me a line for your opinion on the FAQ and the ASCII logo, or corrections. You will be heard! _________________ IV.

So there he is, huh? SAL: So listen, Toni, I know you did a good thing for us, SAL: and I know you've been lying low for a long time, SAL: so I want you to take it easy a while, huh? SAL: Vincenzo will look after you. SAL: You need some money, ask him. SAL: You need a job - Lucky will take care of you. SAL: What more could a family guy ask for? SAL: Even my son don't got it so good. TONI: But, Mr. Leone, I thought we got history, TONI: I mean I've done a lot for this family. TONI: And now, you're expecting me to take orders from this... this... this... TONI: Well, it just doesn't seem... right. SAL: Toni, know what you did, and no one is more grateful than me, honestly, SAL: but the idea that you walk here SAL: and start to question my leadership right away is, quite frankly SAL: out of order. Capiche? TONI: I understand, boss. SAL: So when you need something, give Vincenzo a call down at the Atlantic Quay. SAL: He'll take care of you. Won't you, Lucky? VINNIE: Of course, boss. Anything you say. VINNIE: Tell you what; we can go there now. ============ 2) Vincenzo ============ ------------------- a. Home Sweet Home ------------------- VINNIE: I've got you a nice little place to stay, Toni VINNIE: It's got you written all over it. VINNIE: We'll head there first. TONI: You're all heart. VINNIE: This is it, Toni. 'Home sweet home'. Beautiful, ain't she? TONI: This shit hole is supposed to be my home? VINNIE: Oh! I think it's very you. VINNIE: Now you're disrespecting old Vincenzo. VINNIE: Now, tough guy, get your ass upstairs and go put on some decent clothes. VINNIE: I don't got all day, so move. VINNIE: Now take me to my place. VINNIE: Hey, apartments cost money Toni. VINNIE: Just you remember who pays the bills around here. VINNIE: ME! Daddy Vincenzo over here. VINNIE: So, from now on, you work for me. VINNIE: So, I better see you back here real soon. ----------- b. Slacker ----------- VINNIE: We've got a dealer, working our North Chinatown patch. VINNIE: That lazy bastard ain't brought any cash in, in days. VINNIE: Maybe he needs some encouragement to get off his ass and do some work VINNIE: Acting like a bitch... he kinda reminds me of you. TONI: What are you trying to say? VINNIE: I ain't TRYING to say nothing! VINNIE: I'm telling you to get over there and make sure this asshole starts bringing in some god damn money! TONI: So, Vincenzo tell me you're too chicken-shit to work your patch? DEALER: Hey man! I'm no chicken-shit! DEALER: I... er... been ill is all! DEALER: I'll go back tomorrow... or, maybe, the day after. TONI: Oh, I think you're going to work today... like it or not! DEALER: Oh, man... DEALER: I don't feel too good... I think I might have a fever or something. DEALER: I told Vinnie already... Chinatown's no go for the Leones now! DEALER: The Sindaccos are moving in! If I go there, I'm a dead man! TONI: Sure... sure... DEALER: I'm telling you, man! The Sindaccos are dealing. ------------------- c. Dealing Revenge ------------------- [VINNIE IS AT HIS TOILET HAVING A HARD TIME - ONLY HIS VOICE IS HEARD] TONI: Vinnie? VINNIE: For crying out loud, Toni! Don't I get any peace? VINNIE: I'm already blocked up, last thing I need is you on my case VINNIE: but as you're still here, you know, I'm not seeing any money coming in from that dealer. You know why? TONI: Enlighten me. VINNIE: 'Cause he's dead, Idiot! Some chump whacked him. VINNIE: The Sindaccos have started dealing, and on Leone turf too! VINNIE: You gonna gonna accept that, Toni? VINNIE: I want you to get over to Chinatown! TONI: Alright, 'Boss', I'm on it. VINNIE: Aw God! Why's there never any God-damn paper in here? [TONI BEATS UP SINDACCO] TONI: Stay outta Leone turn asshole! [TONI BEATS UP SINDACCO] TONI: You want some more, ass-head? [TONI BEATS UP SINDACCO] TONI: The Leone's deal in this city! Nobody else! You hear me, you Sindacco fucks? --------- d. Snuff --------- VINNIE: Hey, remember JD O'Toole? TONI: Difficult to forget... VINNIE: He's currently running a Sindacco-controlled titty-bar, I mean gentleman's club. VINNIE: The interesting thing is, he wants to be a Leone now. TONI: Fuck him! He made his choice. VINNIE: Hello, brain-cell! Jeez, Toni, Sal said you was dumb muscle, VINNIE: but I didn't think anyone was that dumb. VINNIE: We can use JD to get the drop on Sindacco plans. VINNIE: He's gonna be our boy on the inside. VINNIE: There's just one thing. VINNIE: He's being sat on by some Sindacco ape. VINNIE: I want you to remove this little obstacle VINNIE: and get JD by our side. Capiche? [PHONE CALL] JD(PHONE): Toni... oh you just gave me some great snuff footage! TONI: JD? You saw that? YOU'RE FILMING ME?! JD(PHONE): Aw, I was just... it's for my own use! JD(PHONE): I can't wait 'till we're on the same team! TONI: Don't get too excited. You still owe me money.

The lack of revealing pronouns in this letter is impressive.
There's only one problem. Technically this person is taken -- they're in an open relationship. They were honest from the get-go and I have allowed myself to wind up in this position.
I find myself wanting more for obvious reasons and have been honest regarding my insecurities about the situation. They've been receptive to this and have shared that they're unsure what their next steps are at this point. The significant other resides in a different state for career purposes and it's unclear if they'll move back.
There are so many unknowns. Friends say I should stick it out and see what happens. This person says they would understand if I walked away, but that it would destroy them.
Am I an idiot for thinking they'll break up? Do I walk away? Do I hang on and see what happens? Help.
– Second Best, San Diego
A: You have to walk away from this. You're on your way to becoming a placeholder, which is no good for anyone. You're too invested in this new relationship to pretend that you can be casual or share.
It's possible that they'll break up, but waiting around for this person to make decisions won't move this along. You can't sit and stew about your future while this person enjoys two significant others. Explain that you must end the relationship because after meeting friends and and getting to know each other, you want more.
This person might rally ... or not. Either way, you'll get your answer.
Readers? Should this person wait it out? Is this a placeholder situation? Is this really an open relationship ... or is it basically over? Discuss.
– Meredith

I replaced a 12 year old model of this same trash compactor. The screw that held the foot pedal on wore through the metal hole. It got a lot of use, so no big surprise. Although I was used to it, I never liked the foot pedal, and you had to apply some pressure to depress it, so it was no wonder it finally broke. This new model allows you to pull the drawer open with the handle, or use the foot pedal. It is so much easier! The drawer pulls open very easily and slides in and out effortlessly. And, it really looks sharp. My old one looked very dated, so the new one has given my kitchen a little face-lift!

Had a Kitchen-Aid in hte house when we bought it. guessing it was 20 yrs old. Finally it wore out & we replaced with a GE Profile in stainless steel. Almost 13 months to the day, it growled really loud & smoked. Unplugged it & called hte store. The warranty is a year. Repairs are on me. If I pay nearly [$] for an appliance, it should last for years. When it was working it had a LOT less power than the Kitchen-Aid. This thing wont crush plastic milk jugs for crying out loud! Basically I bought a [$] stainless steel trash drawer.

Comments about GE Profile 15" GCG1580RSS Stainless Steel Built-In Compactor:
Not much to say about a trash compactor is there ? It looks nice and compacts like every other one I've ever had, and as noisy as every one I have ever had.

GE Trash Compactor

Service and delivery comments:
It arrived as promised and in perfect condition.
Pretty and functions well
By SavvyChef
from El Dorado Hills, CA, United States
I just updated from a 14-year old GE compactor this week as part of a kitchen remodel. The new one is stainless steel and looks nicer. Unfortunately, I liked the height of the older one better. This one is taller, so it's harder to reach over it to put items in. The foot pedal is higher off the floor, which is less convenient than the old one. But you don't touch it with your hand to turn it on; you lift the foot pedal with your toe. That's cleaner when cooking. All the GE appliances we replaced lasted without problems for those 14 years. I hope these new ones do, too!
This compactor is finally Ok
By yoga4
from Little Rock, AR, United States
I've owned 4 compactors. This was the most expensive and isn't any better than the others. It broke after only a few weeks but was covered by warranty and fixed within a week. This one is quiet and looks good. I've used this for 2 months.
Good features
By baseballcch

I bought this two months ago and it is very quiet. Only issue is one of the screws for the foot pad continues to come loose and I have to screw it back in.
Trash compactor

I have been very pleased with this compactor. From it's sleek design, to it's performance.
By pfj1
from Orlando, FL, United States
Had to replace a compactor - it is sleek looking and is very quiet compared to the old one.
Poorly manufactured
By Trashed2014
from The Woodlands, TX, United States
This compactor's drawer does not close squarely to its housing. Therefore, it is damaging adjacent cabinetry. Definitely not Six Sigma quality.
Buy it

If you're looking for a compactor that fits the whole bill, this is the one.

For all your distressed panty needs, look no further than designer Vincent Quevedo. The Kent State University instructor provoked the buzziest audience reaction during the finale show of Fashion Week Cleveland Saturday night by "dressing" -- quotes intentional -- a handful of hunky guys in nothing more than calf-high fur boots, trapper hats and teeny-tiny silver bikini bottoms. How... Full story »

Name: Yuriko
Age: 1,000+ (but appears 18)
Sex: Female
Race: Genie
Height: 5'2"
3 Sizes: Bust 38G, Waist 22, Hips 34
Weight: Variable (She's Typically Weightless)
Obsession: Cherries
Yuriko is a cheerful genie girl with quite potent magical powers (there are very little limits to what she can do, but what she WILL do is another thing entirely). She lives in a bottle, but is able to come out of it at will, without the need of someone rubbing it (rubbing her bottle is more like ringing a doorbell, to her).
She doesn't have any specific master, other than whoever happens to be holding her bottle at the time. While a lot of genies seem to have a "3 wish rule", she grants unlimited wishes, so long as the person making the wishes has her bottle in their possession. She can't have more than one master at a time. Whenever she has a new master, she tries to form a friendship/bond with them. She does have the ability to deny a wish, however (she's not actually bound to servitude of whoever has her bottle, it's just something she likes to do).
She's generally of a happy and cheerful demeanor, and though she can act a bit ditzy, she isn't stupid. She tends be very kind and generous, which is why she doesn't put a limit to how many wishes her master can ask for.
When she isn't in her bottle, or granting wishes, she likes to walk about with humans and blend in with them. Humanity fascinates her, so she likes to try and learn more about them as much as she can.

Me balls are huge
Actually, about 2 weeks after that picture was taken (about 2 years ago) I went to the Mounds and did some major damage to my front fenders. Since then I have installed slightly taller springs all around, and extnded my bumpstops. My flares and front bumper cover have been shaved quite a bit. She still looks good, but nothing like she did in that picture. |

Me balls are huge
I used a pressure treated 4x4 in the rear. I cut lines in the 4x4 to match the ribs on the body, and then cut a groove in the bottom of the 4x4 for the axle. The front end I used pressure treated 2x4s in the right spots to raise it up. The original Jeep came with 11" tall tires. I upgraded to 13" tall tires. The only other mod required was extending the steering shaft. I simply cut the shaft in half below the dash, and jammed a piece of pipe on each end. Then I drilled and cotter pinned the pipe in place. With the gearboxes geared for 11" tires, and swithcing to 13" tires, the top sped has improved 20%!!! It now goes 6 MPH instead of 5 MPH |

Ferguson backs team selection for Rangers clash
Sir Alex Ferguson took a Champions League gamble and has now been left picking up the pieces for Sunday's showdown with arch rivals Liverpool. And on a night of double disappointment for the United manager he is also facing up to being without Antonio Valencia for the best part of the season after the winger suffered a sickening injury. Ferguson controversially made 10 changes to the side that drew 3-3 with Everton last Saturday and was forced to settle for a goal-less draw in the Battle of Britain with Rangers. But more damaging was the injury to Valencia, who suffered a suspected dislocation and fracture of the ankle in an incident that left players and fans unable to look. Despite the disappointing start to their Champions League campaign, Ferguson backed his decision to make wholesale changes. United 0 Rangers 0 - interactive player ratings The criticism will be why didn't I play a stronger team," he said. "I think I played a very strong team. People forget eight of them played against Chelsea in the Community Shield. "It's a terrific squad of players we have and there was no problem playing them. They should have won that game, but give credit to Rangers, their system is very difficult to break down. "I think we played with great intensity and good commitment. But Rangers just went back to the penalty box and it was successful. On Valencia, Ferguson added: It is a dislocation or a fracture and he gets operated on tomorrow morning. It was an innocuous challenge but when you saw the Rangers player waving, you knew it was a bad one. "It is a bad blow for the boy. It is similar to the injury Alan Smith got and you are talking about the rest of the season."
