Like your Tim Horton's thread that you started. I will have to take some pics of my Scirocco next time I am at Timmy's.
the pics are actually from the fountain tire on lag.
i liked the "3" on the door for mkIII

Just to let all the Winnipeg vortex folks know that WinnipegHeights is planning a GTG/meet/cruise on Sunday Oct 5 at 5:00 at the Zoo parking lot.

Hey, did anyone notice that Autohaus is advertising an R32 . I haven't had a chance to get over and drool over it yet. I imagine the price is through the roof.
This must be related to the changes in Canadian bumper regulations that bring us in line with America now.

good luck, mkII's are plated in gold right now, a total piece of crap is worth a couple of grand
get a mkIII, they are plentiful on sale right now for a better price. and trust me, they are far more comfy than a mkII

That's interesting (and yes, I'm not on vortex much lately)... I was thinking of a similar kind of wheel mix on my MK3.
Dunno, though. I can't quite commit to it.
Haven't seen that car around though, have to look for it.
hey, is anyone interested in my '84 Jetta GLI for $300obo?
It was my daily driver for 20 years and has 330Km and still runs good. It has the 1.8L GLI/GTI motor. The body is getting rusty around the windshield but would make a good project car if someone is interested in a MK1. I have replaced the head at 260KM. Comes with a 4-14" snowflakes and a 4-13" trantulas.

If your still looking for a mk2, I seen a white cabriolet at a dealership on Selkirk and rout 90. I only looked quickly as I was yealding into traffic...
looked lowered, had chrome or white rims, fairly clean looking..
Also anyone know anything about airbag systems here in Winni.. Like cost, who does it, hows the ride, ect....
I've had a car with coil overs, gotta love the bent rims hitting pot holes. by bent I mean broke beyond repair.
Had a car with cut lowering spring, gotta love the ghetto bounce as you drive..
I like the ride quality of factory height, but hate the look when I'm outside of the car...So airbags seem good to me? any input would be nice..
Modified by 1VWYO at 7:01 PM 10-27-2008
if you broke a rim on coils, you'd still kill a rim on bags. IMO the ride quiality on bags isnt up to snuff. good coils > good springs and struts > decent coils > stock > bagged > crappy coils
2002 Lexus IS300 - Trac off is just Japanese for sideways on
i have yet to bend a rim on a pothole, slowing down and watching where you drive usually helps alot with this
air ride for vw's is usually a pieced together system anyways, would take about 2k to run right. h&r coils in canada are only 1.5k and will ride better (PM SD auto NY he has air ride)
you could also be the first person in winnipeg to have schmidt wheels with radinox lips, those things will bend the pavement
you running on coils chris?
yup, weitecs with 1.5" thread up front and 2.5" back. low enough to stand my key on my n/a lip
if i had the money, i'd have a set of h&r ultra lows. don't you have a 4 cylinder?

TomTom introduces smart new accessories

TomTom Introduces smart new accessories
~ FM Transmitter, Alternate Mount and Leather Carrying Cases ~
Concord, MA - January 8, 2007 -- TomTom, the world's largest navigation solution provider, today announced the launch of three smart new accessories for the TomTom ONE and TomTom GO range.
The TomTom FM Transmitter Mount is an enhanced windshield mount designed for the GO x10 series that allows navigation instructions, music and hands-free calling to be wirelessly transmitted to car speakers over an FM radio signal. Simply dock the TomTom GO 910 or TomTom GO 510 on the new TomTom FM Transmitter Mount, tune the car radio to an unused FM frequency and select the same frequency on the TomTom GO. Turn by turn instructions and hands-free phone calls can now be heard in HiFi through the car stereo as well as up to 3,000 stored MP3 music files. Users can also hear songs on their iPod over the car speakers if the iPod is connected to their TomTom GO 910/510 device. The seamless integration between the TomTom GO and the car stereo ensures that music is paused when voice instructions are needed or hands-free calls are made.
"TomTom continues to push the envelope when it comes to technology innovation," said Jocelyn Vigreux, president of TomTom. "This wireless solution using FM frequencies allows drivers to be guided by voice instructions and hear their music files through the car audio system for a more integrated and enjoyable driving experience."
A gooseneck mount for the TomTom ONE is now available as an alternative to the standard TomTom ONE windshield mount. The newly designed mounting bracket can be placed on the sturdy, yet flexible gooseneck mount to give customers closer and multi-angle viewing as well as easy positioning on the windshield. The alternate mounting kit also includes an air vent clip for yet another mounting option.
Leather TomTom device cases are also now available for the TomTom ONE and TomTom GO x10 devices. The high quality leather cases offer an attractive look and finish and a strong resistance to wear and tear. The cases come with a detachable wrist strap to carry the device when walking. Subtle TomTom branding and the sleek, stylish design offer an even more attractive alternative to the standard carry case delivered in the box.

Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth take part in a modern reboot of the 1966 British caper comedy starring Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. British art curator Harry Deane (Firth) has devised a finely-crafted scheme to con England's richest man and avid art collector, Lionel Shabandar (Alan Rickman), into purchasing a fake Monet painting. In order to bait his buyer, he recruits a Texas rodeo queen (played by Diaz) to cross the pond and pose as a woman whose grandfather liberated the painting at the end of WWII. While the new accomplice seems perfect, Harry himself becomes enraptured with her, causing his plan to take a series of wrong turns.

Daft makes looking for a new home easy in the same way that maybefriends.com makes finding your soulmate and getting married and buying a house and having babies easy. You could get lucky, I suppose. Or you could go on a series of disappointing dates and learn that looking for love is about managing your expectations and paying for your own drinks.
For the last few weeks I've spent hours and hours browsing dowdy and typo-ridden profiles, the photos blurry and careless, full of the trappings of small, rented lives. I can't imagine living in them. Or worse, I can, and I can't imagine being happy.
There are some lookers out there. I fall for the ones whose profile photos were taken in soft light, circa 2008, with a fisheye camera. I imagine how my pictures will look on their lovely cream walls and I mentally rearrange the furniture, like a dog turning circles in his bed. And when I have myself convinced that I (we) will be happy there (and nowhere else) I click Email Advertiser and send them an email full of hope and promise, signed with a shortened version of my name to make it easier for them to pronounce, to prove that I am considerate.
When they reply, I am effusive. When Andrew and I visit for viewings, we dress like we're going on a date. We wear perfume. I bring my chequebook. I show up expecting each and every one to be The One.
So far, none of them have borne the weight of my expectations. Most are smaller than they looked in their pictures, grubbier, lacking the charm and GSOH their misspelled blurbs claimed for them. A "culterially authentic" two-bed in the Coombe has stains on the carpets and grease smears on the walls. "Just painted" says Colin The Agent in his brown pinstripe suit, his tongue piercing clacking off his pointy little teeth. I used to have one of those. I'm glad I took it out.
"I'll call you" I say to Carol, another agent, a groomed and mannerly mother-of-two who shows us around an empty two-room flat on Heytesbury Street. I don't, though. I don't call David either, the landlord who spends his weeknights in the flat above the one he showed us around on Lennox Street. "Would you be willing to negotiate on the rent?" I asked him. "No" he said. He looked like the kind of man who might riffle through your knicker drawer if you told him you'd be away for a week. It was easier to pretend that we couldn't afford it than to explain to him that he gave me the creeps.
We're in no hurry, but the uncertainty is making me queasy. I want it done, I want us moved out and moved on. I'm just worried that my headlong rush to settle will see us settling in the wrong place. "They're like boys" says my colleague "if you don't fancy them, don't kiss them." I laughed, thinking of the fishy kisses I've suffered for the sake of seeming polite. It's patience and confidence I need, not perfume and chequebooks.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are among the most "American" of bands in the history of rock 'n roll, but that doesn't dissuade folks north of the border from being amongst the Heartbreakers' most ardent fans. The Canadian shows on the Mojo tour have been excellent, and Toronto may have been best among them.
Crosby, Stills and Nash hopped back on the tour in Ontario, enthralling the audience with a stunning set that brought the packed house to its feet. Mention of native son Neil Young drew loud cheers before the band launched into a beautiful cover of Young's "Long May You Run." Watching these three legends " along with their crack band " play every night has been an honor and an absolute pleasure.
Greeted with thunderous applause, Tom and the band once again brought the house down in Canada, rocking the Air Canada Center with an electrifying set of hits that culminated in a raucous "Runnin' Down A Dream/You Wreck Me" encore that sent everyone away with a smile. Canucks know their Mojo, singing along and cheering at the end of "Running Man's Bible" and a show-stopping "I Should Have Known It" featuring some gorgeous guitar work from Mike Campbell and Scott Thurston.

Murphy boys soccer beats Bellingham in a shootout
Wildcats edge Red Raiders 5-4 on penalty kicks to win third straight district title
Saturday's game at Cedarcrest Stadium seemed like it would be decided by Josh Bartley or Jalen Crisler on the Archbishop Murphy side or Brad Dale or Emile Diffley on the Bellingham side. Maybe Red Raider keeper Auden Schilder, who will play at the University of Washington in the fall, would decide the outcome.
Instead Scavotto's right hand was the difference after 80 minutes of regulation and 10 minutes of overtime. The Wildcats junior keeper made what proved to be the game-winning save in the fifth round of a shootout to give Murphy a 3-2 victory (5-4 PKs) and its third consecutive district crown.
"It feels amazing," said Scavotto who started the season as the backup, but was in goal for Murphy's two shootout losses this season. "I knew our guys were going to make the shots and I just had to do my part for the win."
Scavotto saved the first Red Raider attempt and the last. All the Wildcats made their chances, except Bartley who pushed his wide right.
The final save was a special one as the stout Murphy keeper guessed wrong, diving to his left, but shot up his right hand to keep Nick Bippley's shot out of the net.
"I was like, 'I'm getting this no matter what,'" Scavotto said of Bippley's try.
Freshman Parker Buchanan calmly stepped up and drilled the ensuing attempt in the net to send Murphy to the 2A state tournament as a No. 1 seed.
Bellingham, which came into the game with a tie as the team's lone blemish on an otherwise perfect season, goes on the road as the No. 2 seed Wednesday.
Immediately after the game, Red Raider coach Matt Zigulis set his and the team's sights on a rematch, which could only come in the championship game at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium in Sumner in two weeks.
"I hope so," Zigulis said. "That's the plan. We want this one back. We want to see them again and that's our goal now."
After a slow start and 1-0 deficit, the Red Raiders seemingly had control of the game as they controlled the Northwest Conference all season. With a two-goal outburst over a five-minute span than bridged halftime, Bellingham was cruising.
But Bartley and Crisler did what they have all season and for their Wildcat careers.
Every time Bartley touches the ball, he is swarmed by three defenders, making it hard for even the fancy-footworking senior to move let alone control the ball. But the Wildcat captain still finds a way to impact the game.
A nifty play by Bartley in 60th minute earned a corner kick. With Bartley as a decoy, Christian Thode bent the ensuing kick into the box, where Crisler rose above the Red Raiders defense and headed the ball over the hand of Schilder.
"It was funny." Murphy coach and Josh's dad Mike Bartley said. "The first half of the season (Crisler) was missing the ball over the top and he focused on putting the ball low. He's turned such a corner that now he's such a force and the funny thing is they are trying to mark him with three or four guys and they still can't."
"He's got like 20 goals and he plays holding midfielder. It's all restarts."
The opening act to the championship hosted by Cedarcrest High School, was also a shootout won by Sedro Woolley over Sammamish for the district's third and final 2A state bid. This extended game delayed the start of the final by about 45 minutes, which seemed to hurt the Red Raiders more than the Wildcats.
"It was kind of awkward with the game before us going long," Zigulis said. "We got caught in warm-ups. It took a while to get our feet moving and to get a feel for the game."
Just 19 minutes into the game Bartley took a throw in 15 yards from the Cedarcrest goal and tossed a well-placed ball into the goalie box, where Crisler flicked it past Schilder with a header.
But once they got their feet moving it was easy to see why the Red Raiders were undefeated entering the game.
With less than a minute to go in the first half, a seemingly meaningless foul 40 yards from the Murphy goal gave the Red Raiders a free kick. Crisler cleared the Red Raiders lob into the box, but Jacob Feingold gathered the rebound and flipped it to Christian Mittet. The freshman forward turned his head to the far post and evened the score at 1-1.
Fueled by the late-half goal confidence boost, the Red Raiders brimmed with aggression and energy to start the second half. Scavotto had a great save in the 42nd minute for Murphy, but couldn't get in front of the shot by Brad Dale in the 44th minute. Conlon Kiffney tallied the assist.
Mike Bartley couldn't have been happier after the game knowing that, as a long-time prep coach in the area for both boys and girls teams, his teams are 4-for-4 making it to the state semifinals when they enter the tourney as a No. 1 seed. He thinks playing at Everett Memorial Stadium next week will be key on the team's journey striving for a state crown.
"When you are on the road, anything can happen," the Wildcat coach said. "To play in front of the school and the parents; the boys feed of that."
At Cedarcrest H.S.
Goals--Jalen Crisler (A) 2, Christian Mittet (B) Brad Dale (B). Assists--Josh Bartley (B), Christian Thode (A), Conlon Kiffney (B), Jacob Feingold (B). Goalkeepers--Bellingham: Auden Schilder. Archbishop Murphy: Jeff Scavotto. Records--Bellingham (18-1-1 overall), Archbishop Murphy (16-2-1).

GRAHAM — Jerry Peterman, Graham mayor since 2005, is looking toward recovery after five slow economic years.
"We feel like we survived the economic crunch," Peterman said. "Our employees did a great job is what it boils down to."
The city tightened up on everything, Peterman says, not replacing employees as they retired, not repaving streets, not replacing water lines, and also not laying off employees.
That is one of the things Peterman is watching in this coming term. Five years cutting back on infrastructure upkeep means there is a lot of work to do in the city and the city will have to start getting that work done.
Peterman says he wants the city to be ready when someone comes to build. He says he wants to make sure there is enough water for an industrial development and enough money in the city's bank accounts.
"And we are ready," Peterman said.
Peterman is running against the same challenger he faced in 2011, Tommy Bruton. The last campaign got pretty heated.
Beginning in 2005, Graham started directly electing its mayors after 50 years of having the city council vote one of its own into the job. The advantage, Peterman says, is not having to answer to the rest of the council to keep the job. The disadvantage is having to run every two years.
There are some bright spots on the horizon for Graham, Peterman says, with the Oneida mills being rezoned for apartments, and the possibility of 600 jobs between Graham and Mebane if Alamance County wins the Swordfish project.
Even if it does not, Peterman says, someone will eventually develop that land and Graham and Mebane now have an agreement sharing the utilities and tax revenue when the day comes.
"If we can get over this hump," Peterman said, "we'll be there."
Peterman says probably the most common criticism he hears lately is of the city council's decision not to approve a three-story apartment complex sandwiched between Woody Drive and Williams Streets that would have brought more taxes into the city's coffers. But the neighbors hated it.
"A lot of people said, 'It's money in the bank,'" Peterman said, "but they didn't go to that meeting, they didn't hear the 30 people who didn't want a three story apartment looking down on their patio."
As important as the city's finances are, Peterman says, approving a change just for the money would not be a good decision.
If there is one thing Peterman says he wants the voters to know about him it is that he is available.
"If they have a problem," Peterman said, "they know how to find me"
Name: Jerry Peterman
Age: 64
Family: Married to Jan Peterman 38 years, one son Jeremy Peterman who lives in Mesa, Ariz.
Education: Graham High School class of 1967.
Work: Retired Graham firefighter, recently retired from The Challenge Golf Course.
Politics: Graham City Council 2003-2005, Mayor 2005 - Present
Political hero: "I haven't been very political in my lifetime, but the person that has been a great influence and inspiration to me is Mrs. Carrie Thompson. She has been a business leader in Graham as well as the first lady to be elected to the Graham City Council. She was later appointed to the council to finish the term of Mayor Hassell Andrews and performed her duties with grace and skill."

JONESVILLE — A Jonesville businessman held a special candidates' forum Monday night at Jonesville Town Hall.
David Henderson of Davhenco, Inc. in Jonesville organized the event in the main boardroom. Roughly two dozen local residents showed up to pose written questions to town commissioner and mayoral candidates.
"We just thought this might be a good idea," Henderson said. "I did this 20 years ago…but I was approached last month and I offered to do one this year.
Henderson welcomed the audience at 6:30 p.m. and said all the candidates had been invited to attend the meeting.
Commissioner candidate Tommy Casstevens told Henderson prior to Monday that he would not be able to attend due to personal matters.
Henderson said he had spoken to commissioner candidate Jerry Wood and was told he would be present, but Wood did not appear for the forum.
Each member of the audience was invited to write their questions on a piece of paper. The questions were collected as the meeting began and given to Danny Macemore.
Macemore acted as moderator for the event. He presented the questions in random order to mayoral candidate Gene Pardue and commissioner candidates Andy Green, Anita Darnell and Judy Wolfe.
Henderson told the audience prior to beginning that any questions deemed personal or inappropriate would not be asked. He said Macemore had the reserved right to make the call.
Each candidate was given one minute to respond.
"A lot of times this is a problem with politics and citizens," Henderson said. "They never get a chance to really submit questions to see where the candidates really stand, as far as when they're up for election or reelection to run for public office."
Questions ranged from what each candidate would do to lower taxes to when the town would be cleaned up. Many of the questions focused on Jonesville's future and where the town expects to find growth.
Industry and tourism were mentioned by various candidates as potential sources of growth.
Tax incentives and economic plans were discussed and presented as possible attractions for new employers.
Each candidate was asked why they were running and how they could help the town.
Darnell said she was running to help her town and also to work toward beautification of Jonesville. She said industry and tourists who enter the town by the interstate need to be invited in with clean streets and lighting that shows a good place to visit or put a business.
Green said he was running to give back to his community and bring in industry as well. He said he works here in Jonesville and is able to see some of the needs the local citizen faces firsthand.
Wolfe said she was running because several people in the community had approached her and requested she run. She also hopes to bring grant writing experience to the board and to lend an attentive ear to citizens and their problems.
Pardue said he was running because he hopes to bring in new jobs to the town and pursue grant writing. He also would like to see the town market itself rather than rely on the county to steer industry toward the town.
The meeting last an hour, closing around 7:30 p.m.
Henderson closed out the meeting with a special thanks to those who attended.
"I really do thank everyone for showing up and your participation and I hope you support whatever candidate that you feel comfortable representing the town," Henderson said. "I think this one has been successful, it's been quite an honor to be allowed to host this. I hope that next time that there's another election if I'm around I'm going to host another one.""

Yep he missed the boat on this one big time. It sounds like he is taking
it more personal then looking at it strictly as a business move that ultimately in my opinion we turn out to be a good move. Say what you want about what was or what he still could be the botton line is Chandler is currently "damaged goods" that was not playing well even when healthy. As I said before I'm surprised there were any takers considering he's been on the bench for 5 weeks.

self hater? hahahahahahaha i'm just a realist and see things for what they are. Tyson wasn't getting it done on a consistent basis, therefore he was expendable. the only player on this team not expendable is CP3. he almost single handedly lead us to the confrence finals it wasn't working out this year so they are making moves to fix that. they are clearing cap room to build around CP3 something they shoulda did in the first place instead of aquiring high priced Vets.
many TC supporters are bringing up the fact we were 21-11 with him and 10-9 without him. i understand this and don't think Hilton is the answer, but you fail to overlook we are getting 2 proven post players in return. both guys can score and defend and will bring a Defensive presence in the middle that we lacked with TC out. before when TC got in foul trouble he'd go to the bench and leave a void. now we have 12 fouls from the C position and guys who will play their effectively.
CP3 knows it's a bussiness and with the Hornets clearing cap space and the Peja deal coming off in '10 we will be in prime position to attract a player or players in the great FA of '10 who will come in and make CP3 a happy camper and help us contend for a tittle.
chill out and let the trade obsolve. this team was not gonna win a championship this year or next year with the current Roster and the Salary cap hell we are in. i think fans will be happy by what we get from Smith and Wilcox
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."
We all know how you feel about Posey but is there really a need to try to put words into the players mouths?Originally Posted by Eleven79
Exactly it's all about business and nothing personal.
The next move I see is coaching if the Hornets don't
at least make the playoffs.

Facts are facts.
But that still doesn't mean the players feel that Posey brings little to the table. You're thinking for the players now.Originally Posted by Eleven79

As far as on court play and how Smith and Wilcox fit in, I'm going to give them a few games before I pass judgement. Tyson was a loved player for various reasons, but I don't see a big drop-off on actual production from Chandler to Wilcox.
I can say one thing, Smith coming in off the bench for D-West instead of Marks is an upgrade, IMO.
And, tbh, I have no idea what kind of player Hardin is.
^Oh snap!
This season the Hornets might not get the money anyway and it has nothing to do with state shortfalls, we are going to reach the benchmarks therefore the Hornets will get nothing.Originally Posted by kidjock
Let's say we do not reach the benchmarks then the Hornets get 4 million. That's it, 4 million bucks ... chump change and would hardly make the Hornets more competitive, able to go over the cap, or make us a more attractive franchise.
The money problems with the Hornets are not on us, the fans or state, it's on poor Shinn and his own personal monetary problems. He could be in Los Angeles, running the Lakers, and he would still be broke.

Bower did make some bad contracts, but so be it, he has done more good than bad. Why hang him out to dry?

With any luck he can come in a shine like Manu, TP, and others have after making the Euro jump, at worst he nets us a rasuel butler, kirk snyder combo for his rights.
I'd like to see what Hardin brings in Summer League, I'm not expecting anything though.

who was the guy on wwl floating the rumor joe smith was going to retire at years end? Did he come out and say that??
I think the Hornets saw enough in Hardin to make them interested enough to have him included in the deal. He obviously wasn't needed in the deal to make the monies work and for Pete's sake...OKC had 5 1st rd picks to choose from and the Hornets went with Hardin...hmm...I hope they see something special in Hardin, maybe the next "Tyson Chandler" in the sense of how he played with Paul, but a better offensive player - that would be awesome!Originally Posted by NIH
I doubt Smith has said anything concrete at this point, but at his age he will most likely retire of play for a SA or L.A type team.
Slow your roll, mate! Let's see if he can ball in the summer league before proclaming him our next starting C.Originally Posted by NBA Champs

1-15 October 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline
Apparently October has shown a decrease in the number of Cyber Attacks. At least from a mere numerical perspective. It is not a coincidence that I used the term "Apparently" since if we consider the most important event of the month: the massive leak from Worldwide universities executed by Team GhostShell inside their ProjectWestWind operation, things are well different.
The one carried on by Team Ghost Shell (approximately 120k accounts leaked) is for sure the most important operation of the current month which has also shown the first virtual hacking operation (at least as far as I remember): the massive death of avatars inside World of Warcraft.
Other remarkable events in the first half of October concern the attack to Playspan (possibly millions of users affected), the new waves of DDoS cyber attacks against US banks, and an alleged hijacking to the Irish domains of Google and Yahoo!.
It worth to mention also the breach of University of Georgia (8,500 users affected) and the 400,000 bucks stolen by unknown hackers to the City of Burlington.
If you want to have an idea of how fragile our data are inside the cyberspace, have a look at the timelines of the main Cyber Attacks in 2011 and 2012 and the related statistics (regularly updated), and follow @paulsparrows on Twitter for the latest updates.
Also, feel free to submit remarkable incidents that in your opinion deserve to be included in the timelines (and charts).

On Sept. 4, local elected officials (minus one notable exception) have again confirmed their collective commitment to take the "low road" regarding "corporate welfare" — aka, economic cash incentives.
Both the Burlington City Council and the Alamance County Board of Commissioners voted to give cash incentives ($1,120,000 and $1,280,000, respectively) to Sheetz Distribution Services, LLC for a new manufacturing and distribution center.
As usual, Commissioner Tim Sutton cast the lone vote opposing the proposed package of cash incentives. (As senior member of the
Then we learned, according to newspaper reports, that Gov. Perdue has announced that
As we know, the Alamance County Board of Commissioners has established a consistent record of approving cash incentives, normally by a 4 to 1 vote; and local cities are quick to "follow suit." Taken together, these city, county, and state incentives represent a very significant amount of tax revenue.
I find any transfer of tax revenue to wealthy corporations for "economic development" to be an abuse and misuse of the government's taxing power. I firmly believe I have a good basis for my view — the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1936, in the case
In the case of the present deal, the money is being "expropriated" from the citizens of
And, what I find even more troubling — even offensive, obnoxious and contemptible — is that:
1. Sheetz is a direct competitor of all the fast food and convenience store retailers here in
2. This government largesse (corporate welfare) with our tax revenues is being done at the same time that we are being asked, by the Alamance County Board of Commissioners, to approve a one-quarter cent sales tax increase. And, what do you think the commissioners want the added tax revenue for? Beyond funding the community college bond referendum for a new building, the additional money would go for more economic development and tax incentives, just like we witnessed with the Sheetz deal.
I find this whole thing has a really bad smell! If you agree, then I think you know what you need to do at the ballot box in November.

Mead Primary Glider Replica
Gift of the Morris Ertman Estate
Many aspiring aviators of the 1920's and 1930's learned piloting fundamentals by flying gliders like this replica of a Mead Primary Glider, built in 1979. A former Hartford Glider Club member, who in 1930 helped build and fly the original at Brainard Airport in Hartford, supervised the project. Developed from a Rhon Ranger, a European design, this basic lightweight craft could be launched from a hill or towed by an automobile to an altitude of more than 500 feet.

California Politics: Losing Ground or Making Strides?
Is the recall of Governor Gray Davis a celebrity circus or a real way to make progress toward better state government? Is California government powered by private corporations or other special interest groups? Is Arnold Schwarzenegger right, does "the money comes in and the favors go out?" Ever controversial, the California political scene is boiling over with accusations, questions, and searing commentary from the left, right, and middle. In the last two months California politics have made international headlines as issues such as the recall election, budget crisis, and "legislative gridlock" feed fierce debates around the globe. Also under attack are 'sacred' California monuments such as Proposition 13, the law requiring a two-thirds vote by the legislature to raise most taxes (except property taxes which are capped at one percent and can increase by no more than two percent per year unless two-thirds of voters approve a larger increase).
With a huge presidential electorate, and a country-sized economy (California has the 7th largest economy in the world) the precedents set in California will likely have a large influence on the rest of the nation and world. Leadership changes could lead to great improvements, or mismanagement and erosion of confidence in electoral politics.
The Athenaeum is pleased to host three prominent Claremont professors to analyze and lead a discussion on the current political scene. Jack Pitney, professor of government, is one of CMC's most popular teachers and frequently quoted media expert. Kenneth Miller, assistant professor of government, has just this fall joined the CMC faculty. David Menefee-Libey, is associate professor of politics at Pomona College and coordinator of its Public Policy Analysis Program. Come learn about the key players in this historic recall election drama, and enjoy what is sure to be an intense and lively debate.
Challenges and Opportunities in America's Relations with East Asia
The new problems of terrorism, dangers of nuclear proliferation, sluggish economic growth in key countries, mid pan-Asian patterns of regional cooperation pose special policy challenges. The collaboration among the major powers on key issues, such as the North Korean nuclear crisis, presents an unusual diplomatic opportunity. These are among the issues that Dr. Armacost will explore.
Michael H. Armacost has been a Shorenstein Distinguished Fellow in the Asia/Pacific Research Center at Stanford University since September 2002. He previously held the position of President of The Brookings Institution from October 1995 until June 2002. During his twenty-four years in government, he served as U.S. Ambassador to Japan, U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, and occupied senior policy responsibilities in the National Security Council and Department of Defense. From 1993-1995 he was Distinguished Senior Fellow and Visiting Professor at Stanford University's Asia/Pacific Research Center.
Armacost was educated at Carleton College, Friedrich Wilhelms University, and Columbia University. He has taught and lectured at Pomona College, Georgetown University, Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, and International Christian University (Japan). He is the author of three books; the most recent Friends or Rivals? The Insider's Account of U.S.-Japan Relations (1996), assessed the relations between Japan and the United States in the post-Cold War era. Dr. Armacost is the recipient of the President's Distinguished Service Award, the Defense Department's Distinguished Civilian Service Award, and the Secretary of State's Distinguished Service Award.
He is a board member of Carleton College, the Asia Foundation, and the American Academy of Diplomacy; a director of AFLAC, Applied Materials, and Cargill; and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the National Academy of Public Administration.
Dr. Armacost's visit is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
The Korean War: The Legacy for U.S.-Korean Relations
The current crisis over Korea has roots that may be traced back to at least 1945, when the United States and the Soviet Union divided the peninsula at the 38th parallel after the Second World War. Although that decision engaged the United States in Korea as never before, the U.S.-Korean relationship as we know it today can be understand only through a careful reappraisal of the Korean War (1950-1953).
William Stueck grew up in Connecticut and received his Ph.D. in history from Brown University in 1977. Since then he has devoted the bulk of his research to the U.S. relationship with East Asia. Among his books are The Korean War: An International History (Princeton, 1995), which has been translated into Korean, Japanese, and Russian; and Rethinking the Korean War: A New Diplomatic and Strategic History (Princeton, 2002). Most recently, he edited Eye on Korea: An Insider Account of U.S.-Korean Relations, by James V. Young (Texas A & M, 2003). His current research is for a history of U.S.-Korean relations.
Stueck is currently Distinguished Research Professor at the University of Georgia. He also has taught at Syracuse University, Purdue University, and New College of the University of South Florida. In 1995 he taught at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in Seoul, Korea as a Senior Fulbright Scholar.
Professor Stueck's visit is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
An Evening with David Ebershoff
With his first novel, The Danish Girl (2000), David Ebershoff achieved national attention as one of the most promising young writers in the United States. Faultlessly reconstructing the milieu of pre-WWII Europe, Ebershoff tells an unconventional story of transgendered experience with wit, delicacy, and compassion. The novel was named a New York Times notable book of the year, and won a Lambda Literary Award.
His next book, a collection of stories called The Rose City: Stories (2001), showed that the highly specialized atmosphere of his first novel was by no means the product of imaginative limitations. Indeed, the story collection showed an astonishing range of emotional insight and narrative technique, even while building each tale around the locale of the title city, Pasadena (2001).
With his most recent novel this remarkable writer combines his penchant for historical fiction with his array of writerly gifts to render an epic tale of one family's experience in the town that would become the city of the author's birth. Mixing the romanticism of Wuthering Heights (1847) (to which the book often alludes) with the modernism of Thomas Mann- parts of the novel seem modeled on Mann's masterpiece Buddenbrooks (1901)- Ebershoff produces a saga distinctively his own, lit from within by a loving portrait of the geographies of Southern California.
Aside from being one of the most interesting writers of his generation, David Ebershoff is also the publishing director of the eminent Modern Library at Random House. We are pleased to welcome him to CMC in conjunction with the Gould Center seminar in Gay/Lesbian Writers of the 20th Century.
Germany and the Secret Genocide: A Documentary Film
At a time when global issues dominated the political agenda of the world's nations as never before, a regime managed, in the last years of its existence, to perpetrate upon millions of its citizens a program of mass deportation, terrorism, and genocide on a theretofore unrivaled scale. The leaders and their agents who carried out these atrocities did so with astonishingly little intervention-or even, to this day, notice or censure-on the part of other nations. The victims, caught between imperial powers engaged in a world war, were deported to desolate climes, forced into slave labor, and massacred en masse.
Yet it was not Auschwitz or Buchenwald or Dachau or Majdanek or Sobibor that provided the backdrop for this slaughter. Rather, it was in the mountains of Sassun, in the deserts of Mesopotamia and Syria, and in the towns and villages of Asia Minor, that, in 1915, the sultanate of the Ottoman Empire, abetted by an expansionist Germany intent on building a railroad stretching from Berlin to Baghdad, effected its own "ethnic cleansing." In a genocide eerily prefiguring crimes of a generation hence, untold numbers of Armenian men, women, and children perished. (A 1985 United Nations Human Rights Subcommission report put the death toll at "at least one million"-more than half the Armenian population, with the rest being forcibly driven from their homeland.)
Dr. J. Michael Hagopian has dedicated the better part of his life to making documentary films on subjects ranging from environmental devastation to multicultural issues to events of little-known or forgotten history. Among the more than 70 films that he has written, directed, and produced are The Forgotten Genocide (1975) (nominated for two Emmy Awards in production and writing), and a trilogy- of which Germany and the Secret Genocide (2003) is the second film- called The Witnesses. These films involved more than 20 years of research and interviews with 400 survivors-eleven of whom appear in Germany and the Secret Genocide.
Many of Hagopian's earlier films were produced under grants from the U.S. Office of Education and the Ethnic Heritage Program, the California Endowment for the Humanities, and the California State Department of Education. In 1979, Hagopian, who has a doctorate in international relations from Harvard University and a graduate degree in film from USC, established the Armenian Film Foundation, which has produced 13 educational videos and documentary films and gathered a film archive of survivors of the Armenian genocide.

The Smoking Gun: Energy and Health in Developing Nations
Health and environmental concerns are hot topics here in the United States, but what are the issues in developing countries? In his Athenaeum presentation, Dan Kammen will discuss the effect the environment has on the well-being of the populations of such nations. The Director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory (RAEL), Kammen is an authority in dealing with policy regarding energy and the environment. Dan Kammen, professor of Public Policy in the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, has done extensive work in the area of renewable energy. He also worked on many projects regarding the risk analysis of global warming. In 1993, he received the 21st Century Earth Award, recognizing contributions to rural development and environmental conservation from the Global Industrial and Policy Research Institute and Nihon Keizai Shimbun in Japan.
An advocate of deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption, Kammen works hard to promote environmental policy change. He is a regular commentator on energy matters here in California as well as across the world. He is the author of Should We Risk It? Exploring Environmental, Health, and Technological Problem Solving (1999) a book on environmental, technological, and health risks and has also written over 120 journal articles. Dan Kammen received his B.A. in physics from Cornell University and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University.
This lecture is part of the series The Environment in Crisis, funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation and coordinated by Kathleen Purvis-Roberts, assistant professor of chemistry in the Joint Science Department.
Bravo Brahms!
MARGARET BATJER, violin
JEFFREY KAHANE, piano
Since its founding in 1969, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra has earned international acclaim for its unsurpassed virtuosity and versatility. Under the baton of Jeffrey Kahane- who in 1997 became the fifth in a succession of extraordinarily distinguished music directors (following Sir Neville Martinet, Gerard Schwaruz, Iona Brown, and Christof Perick)- this 40-member ensemble has enjoyed standing ovations at sold-out performances in venues ranging from inner-city L.A. elementary schools to Carnegie Hall. Known for its innovative programs, the Orchestra performs a startlingly varied repertoire- from Corelli to Corigliano, Locatelli to Lutoslawki, Schubert to Stemmez.
Education and community outreach have always been vital to the mission of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. Meet the Music, a program offered in cooperation with the Los Angeles Unified School District, allows students in grades 4 through 6 to have personal contact with musicians and composers and participation in the musical community. Another series, Neighbor-hood Concerts begun as a pilot project in the 1994-1995 season, is an outreach and community education program designed to bring live concerts by the Chamber Orchestra to local community venues in economically and culturally diverse L.A. neighborhoods. Still another way of bringing down traditional barriers between musicians and audiences is Conversations, an interactive series featuring mostly music of the Baroque and Classical periods. In this Athenaeum program, concert master Margaret Batjer and music director Jeffrey Kahane will perform two of the three violin sonatas of Johannes Brahms (No. 1, in G, op. 78; and No. 3 in D minor, op. 108).
Since her debut solo appearance at age 15 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Margaret Batjer has performed with a succession of major ensembles throughout the U.S. and Europe. A graduate of the Curtis Institute and former student of the legendary Ivan Galamian, Batjer, whose reputation as violinist of consummate technique and unimpeachable musicianship spans oceans and continents, performs regularly at such festivals as Music from Marlboro, the La Jolla Summerfest, the Naples and Cremona Festivals, and (in 1995 and 1999, at the invitation of Maurizio Pollini) the Salzburg Festival. Among the numerous recordings she has made for such labels as EMI, Nuova Era, BMG, and Dynamic, is a performance, with Salvatore Accardo, of J.S. Bach's concerto in D minor for two violins.
Even before maestro Kahane, a native of Los Angeles, embarked on a spectacularly successful career as a conductor, he had earned a reputation as a soloist of the highest order. His keyboard artistry, which the Los Angeles Times has described as "versatile in styles, superior in technique, unlimited in horizons," has led to numerous collaborations with the world's great orchestras (the New York, Los Angeles, Rotterdam, and Israel Philharmonic, and Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestras, to name but a few), chamber ensembles (the Emerson String Quartet, among others), and the preeminent virtuosi of our time (among whom Joshua Bell, Yo-Yo Ma, and Dawn Upshaw just begin a long list). His discography- as conductor, pianist, and harpsichordist- includes the music of Bach, Schubert, Richard Strauss, Bernstein, and Paul Schoenfeld. A new recording of Bach's violin concerti with Hilary Hahn and the Kahane-led Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra will be released on Deutsche Grammophon this fall.
This program is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies at Claremont McKenna College.
Reflections on the Armenian Genocide
While extraordinarily few scholars can lay legitimate claim to being the world's foremost authority on any subject or any period, Richard Hovannisian owns the distinction of being the unsurpassed expert on the entirety of a nation's history. As the author of a score of volumes (not to mention more than fifty articles) on every aspect and period of Armenian history, as founder and three-time president of the Society for Armenian Studies, and as first holder of the Armenian Educational Foundation Endowed Chair in Modern Armenian History at UCLA, Hovannisian's contribution to the understanding of Armenian and Near Eastern and Caucasian history remains unrivalled- and will likely continue as such for generations to come.
Even as his monumental two-volume history, The Armenian People from Ancient to Modern Times (1997), encompasses the 3,000 years and six continents of the Armenian state, Hovannisian is perhaps best known for his research and writing on the widespread massacre, deportation, and diaspora that began under the Ottoman sultanate in 1894, continued with the Cilician pogroms of 1909, and culminated in the genocide of 1915-1922. A Guggenheim Fellow, Hovannisian has received many honors and awards, not only for his scholarship, but also for his civic activities and leadership in the advancement of Armenian studies. In 1990 Hovannisian was elected to the Armenian Academy of Arts and Sciences- the first nonresident to be so honored. He has received honorary doctorates from Yerevan State and Atrsakh State University, and, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the First Republic, President Robert Kocharian awarded him the Movses Khorenatsi Medal in recognition for a lifetime's achievement in education in the social sciences.
This presentation is cosponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies and the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights.

Soul of a Citizen: Living with Conviction in a Cynical Time
Known as a bold thinker and nationally respected scholar on the psychology of social involvement, social critic, activist, and author, Paul Loeb will challenge your perceptions of civic engagement. Loeb blends individual stories of ordinary heroes who have become involved in community issues with historical sources of inspiration to offer a vision of the future in which each member of society feels a sense of connection to the community.
As an associated scholar at the Seattle Center for Ethical Leadership and board chair of Washington's Peace and Justice Alliance, Loeb sees the value of sustained ethical leadership in encouraging citizens to see how the powerlessness and pervasive cynicism of our times can be overcome through moving from passivity to meaningful participation. Defining the rewards of community involvement as "a sense of connection and purpose rare in purely personal life," Loeb elucidates the individual importance of working toward social change.
Internationally recognized as a powerful role model for active and engaged scholarship, Paul Loeb has lectured at over 300 colleges and universities nationwide, given over 800 TV and radio interviews, and appeared frequently on CNN, BBC, and NBC networks, and National Public Radio. Over the past 30 years, he has committed himself to researching and writing about civic responsibility and empowerment by asking what makes some people choose lives of social commitment while others abstain.
Mr. Loeb's lecture is based on his most recent book, Soul of a Citizen: Living With Conviction in a Cynical Time (1999), which follows his previous publications Generation at the Crossroads: Apathy and Action on the American Campuses (1994), Nuclear Culture: Living and Working in the World's Largest Atomic Complex (1982), and Hope in Hard Tunes: America's Peace Movement and the Reagan Era (1986). The Kravis Leadership Institute and the Marian Miner Cook Atheneaum are pleased to sponsor Mr. Loeb's lecture.
A Conversation with Janet Reno
When Janet Reno was appointed the 78th Attorney General of the United States, she became the first woman to lead the nation's largest law enforcement office. Her eight-year term made her the longest-serving attorney general since the Civil War. During Ms. Reno's tenure, she revolutionized law enforcement by achieving conventional crime rate and drug use reductions, as well as demonstrated outstanding integrity and adherence to the laws of justice.
As Attorney General during the Clinton Administration, Ms. Reno enforced policies on civil rights, race relations, corruption, the environment, gun control, and immigration. Focusing on the well-being of the Nation's children, she pushed for reforms to provide assistance to troubled youth. Ms. Reno also increased the government's information technology resources devoted to law enforcement and proposed additional Internet security by encouraging collaboration between companies and federal agencies.
Because of her outstanding service, Ms. Reno has been recognized by numerous organizations for her positive and enduring contributions to both law enforcement and humanity. Recently, she was named the 2003 recipient of the Stennis Center's Lindy Boggs Award, which honors a woman from the south who has demonstrated the ideals of patriotism, courage, integrity, and leadership through public service. Ms. Reno also has been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame, is the recipient of the Women's International Center Living Legacy Award and the Woman of Vision Award, to name a few.
Ms. Reno is a graduate of Cornell University and Harvard Law School. After nine years in private practice, she was named staff director of the Judiciary Committee of the Florida House of Representatives. Ms. Reno's other positions include counsel for the Florida Senate's Criminal Justice Commission for Revision of the Criminal Code, state attorney for the Eleventh Judiciary Circuit of Florida, and state attorney for Dade County.
Janet Reno's appearance at the Athenaeum is sponsored by the Res Publica Society of Claremont McKenna College. Dinner reservations are for CMC persons only. The lecture beginning at 6:45 p.m. is open to the public without charge, no reservations necessary.
Research on the Long-term Effects of Radioactive Fallout in Kazakhstan
On August 29, 1991, the country of Kazakhstan announced that it would end all nuclear testing at the northern Semipalatinsk range and close the testing site after nearly forty years of experimenting with nuclear devices. After hundreds of nuclear tests, many have wondered just how much damage has been done. Enter Professor Katie Purvis-Roberts of the Joint Science Department of the Claremont Colleges.
Professor Purvis-Roberts has been a part of a study that has examined the environmental and health impacts of the nuclear testing in the former Soviet nation. She has already traveled to Kazakhstan three times to be a part of the project. She is particularly interested in how those who live near the testing site cope with the idea of interacting with such a decimated environment. The study is also looking at the longterm health effects of the exposure to radioactive material. Using both historical and environmental data, the study promises to produce informative and amazing results. She plans to return to Kazakhstan next summer to complete the study and present her findings.
In addition to this fantastic experience, Purvis-Roberts is also a Visiting Scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. She received both her M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton University. This Iecture is part of the ongoing Athenaeum series The Environment in Crisis.

Is George Clooney planning to add agent to his resume? The big-hearted super star got friendly with 25 year-old Cody La Scala at the 26th Anniversary Carousel Of Hope Ball in Beverly Hills, CA on Saturday night (October 20).
Wheel chair bound since nearly drowning as a baby, La Scala is an aspiring actor and confessed to Clooney that he is a fan. "George was so touched. It was so cute. He hugged Cody and introduced him to Stacy.
They chatted for a bit and George encouraged him to follow his dream and even took down his number!"
George was recognized for his efforts in advocating various humanitarian causes by being honored with the Brass Ring Award and when he bumped into Cody later, he handed him the trophy and said, "Here, hold this."
When Cody told George that he thought Carmen Electra was "hot," George flagged down the buxom babe and made an intro.
Carmen planted a sexy smooch right on Cody's cheek! Humanitarian, Oscar winner, agent, wingman? The guy's got it all!

Joe Manganiello Is Almost Offensively Hot – The Daily Swoon
Joe Manganiello took it all off again – again — for Men's Health UK. And when the 'True Blood' star goes shirtless, he's so ripped it's almost illogical.
Sometimes I look at Joe Manganiello and think, "Yeah, I mean, damn, but yeah." Clearly he does not inspire intellectual thought. And then he takes his shirt off and it's almost disgusting how ripped and and muscle-y he is. You just look at his finely sculpted body and think, "Who does this?!" He's so stacked that it's like, offensive.
The star of 'True Blood' and our most private dreams took his shirt off for Men's Health UK yet again, and the outcome was just as insane as always. This time around he puts his body all up on a canyon because rocks are as hard as his abs or something.
Since there are only a few (RIDICULOUS) photos, I went back and found some pics from his previous Men's Health photo shoot, which are just about as equally bonkers, but also: You can never have too many photos of a shirtless Joe Manganiello.

When the thought of "switchblade" comes to mind, the vision is that of the Italian Stiletto. This classic design has had more exposure than any other automatic. From the wild motorcycle gangs of the fourties to the classic theatrical "West Side Story", this is the automatic that made history. It's strength is in it's sleek elegance, swift blade and original beauty. This is an excellent knife to collect in any size.
