1994 Chevrolet Caprice Q&A
1994 Chevrolet Caprice Question: I have a rough idling problem and when I apply the brakes, it shakes. What's up?
On cold starts, the car is fine in the idleing, or park position, but when I drive it before letting it heat up there is a knocking/grinding noise coming from the rear of the car. The more I drive it, it stops but then I start having shakeing when applying the brakes and rough idling. - GGreen
Answer 1
Diagnosing the rough idle when warm from an armchair is hard. I can tell you that you have (at least) 2 seperate problems. Rough idling when hot is engine related, and grinding/shaking in the body during braking are not connected. Where does it shake when you apply the brakes? Front end wobble or like the whole vehicle vibrates? To figure out if it is front or rear brakes, apply the brake pedal at about 45 mph and see if you notice the steering wheel shake/move side to side. If it is front end wobble, you should have the rotors checked for runout, the wheel bearings repacked and the steering and front suspension checked for slop/play. If the wheel does not shake and or move, but you feel it in the "seat of your pants", then try applying the parking brake (carefully) at 40-45 mph without touching the brake pedal. To do this, keep the park brake release handle pulled out and push reasonably hard on the park brake pedal with your foot to apply them. If it is in the rear brakes, the vibration will be there without the front brakes applied. If it's rear, have the drums checked for out-of-round problems, and the rear shoes and hardware checked for wear and or loose/missing hardware. May also have a rear differential issue. - ChevyASE

Collector Interview
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Zwicker & Associates (Andover, MA) in August 2013.
The interview process was very straight forward. I told them what I was looking for in a position, interviewed with their trainer and a manager. I told them what I needed as far as an hourly rate even though there is a bonus plan involved. They sent me for a drug test that day, did a background check and told me they would be in touch. The trainer got back to me today and offered me a job at $8.00 less than I had asked for and also in a range that he knew was completely unacceptable to me from the beginning. I also had previous collection experience. I also lost a half day's pay from my current job in order to interview with them and wait two hours for a drug test. They had no intention of offering me a job I could actually take and thought I'd cave due to their "alleged" bonus plan which is absolutely not guaranteed. They also let you know that if you don't meet their expectations in 90 days you're gone! Don't waste your time unless you have a nice second income that someone else is providing for you or unless you live with your parents and they pay for everything! What a waste of time and completely insulting to older individuals! Burger King pays more!!

In February American tourists Lindsey Kate Adams and Leslie Jan Adams were among the crowds at Cambodia's Angkor, the 9th-15th century Khmer city and temple complex that UNESCO hails as the most famous archaeological site in southeast Asia. The World Heritage Site sprawls over about 400 square kilometers, making it among the world's largest archaeological sites and one of the most visited historical sites in the world. The Adams sisters were among the thousands of visitors trooping through Angkor in February, with scores of them providing pictures of their journey and the astounding complex. When the Arizona sisters reached the Preah Khan temple, they likewise documented their visit, yet like a modest but growing wave of contemporary tourists they departed from the conventional monument pose: the women dropped their pants for a shot of their butts in the ancient temple, only to be nabbed by the authorities. These increasingly common nude or partially disrobed pictures at historic sites tell us something about the aesthetic power of heritage even as they reveal its irrelevance to many of the Western tourists who are actually visiting historic places.
The Arizona travelers are not alone in their ambition to commemorate their historic site tourism with nude pictures. In January three French tourists were deported after being caught in Angkor's Banteay Kdei temple stripping for pictures of their Cambodian trek. Five days before pictures appeared on Facebook depicting topless women at Angkor as well as Beijing's Forbidden Palace. In May a group of ten tourists posed naked in Malaysia on Mount Kinabalu, a World Heritage site distinguished by its botanical diversity (5000-6000 plant species can be found on the mountain). Israeli traveler Amichay Rab's My Naked Trip blog documents his tour of South America, where he stripped at a series of sites including Machu Picchu, Cuzco, and Monte Verde. The facebook page and blog Naked at Monuments document sun-starved butts at sites including the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, and Athens.
Many of these photographers imagine their experience and images as irreverent or spontaneous humor. Paul Marshall's Naked at Monuments, for instance, suggests that "First and foremost, it's about having a laugh. For some reason people find the naked body funny. We're more than happy to watch people slit each others throats and blow each others heads off in movies, but as soon as we see a naked body we either laugh or tense up. We want to break down some of these barriers and let the world know its okay to get naked."
The unexpected nudity at historical sites is perhaps calculated to make us laugh at the audacity required to streak at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but that ignores how and why historicity is invoked in these images. These naked images secure some of their power by violating the sanctity of historical sites. In some cases like Angkor a place's solemnity is rooted in a conventionally defined sacred heritage, but in many of these places their status as historical sites simply assumes respect and decorum from visitors. The host of pale rumps on Naked at Monuments may cynically question such historical sanctity, but fundamentally the site questions the ethics of tourism itself and does not see such photographic experiences as contemptuous or disrespectful. When the site came under attack in June, Paul Marshall argued that nudity is an inconsequential violation of tourist etiquette: "A lot of people have been pretty vocal about how it is offensive and disrespectful. I don't think disrespect is ever the intent (one could argue it is actually a sign of respect) but I think if people are finding the naked body offensive enough to be vocal about it then we really need to change our social lens. People barely bat an eye at violence or human rights abuses but if you get naked everybody loses their shit." Marshall somewhat clumsily dissected how nudity functions in these pictures—while he defended the significance of these places—when he argued that "our page is about what's around the buttocks, not the buttocks itself. All the pictures are posted in good humor. There is nothing gratuitous or sexual about them. It is just a couple of naked dudes running around amazing places."
The criticism of the conventional tourist experience itself (if not heritage in general) seems to be perhaps the central target of these photographers. Our enormously well-documented lives routinely chronicle nearly every possible experience from fabulous meals to trips overseas, and countless Instagram and Facebook pages document us dutifully standing before yet another heritage backdrop. Such pictures may be less about documenting tourism experiences than they are about how we imagine such pictures make us seem worldly, intelligent, or curious. For some travelers, though, the countless online images of such sites have perhaps produced a deep-seated anxiety that we are interchangeable tourists having the same experience and taking the same pictures. In an ocean of prosaic tourist images and conventional experiences, some travelers likely flash a vertical smile at a World Heritage site to escape the seemingly meaningless if not inauthentic tourist experience.
These travelers are not necessarily disregarding the consequence of heritage venues as much as they are reducing them simply to aesthetically rich places. When Naked at Monuments inventoried the "top seven historic monuments to get naked at," their analysis devoted little attention to especially reflective history. The analysis of Stonehenge, for instance, observed that "They're not exactly sure what Stonehenge is." It appears that in the experience of these (and possibly many more) tourists the historicity of these places seems largely disinteresting or at least secondary to their importance as aesthetic stages for a meaningful tourist experience. The images of travelers' backsides reflect how some people aspire to escape the conventional tourist experience; they are not about the ways a physical visit to Machu Picchu may provide a deeper understanding of Incan heritage than an authoritative web page, lavishly produced cable documentary, or scholarly paper.
Many of these photographers appear to have avoided a challenging experience; that is, the sites remain exoticized because many of these places are rooted in antiquity, located in distant reaches of the world, and are well outside the experience of Western tourists. For many tourists, these sites are interchangeable spaces: they loom as aesthetically and materially impressive experiences, but they reveal little substantive insight into local culture or heritage and remain exoticized.
Not surprisingly, most of these pages have very few examples of naked pictures taken at Western historic sites. The Western photographers facing international indignation and justice seem charitably naïve, apparently surprised that nudity does not have universally humorous implications or that Angkor or the Great Wall differ from any other place on their Facebook page. An English woman in the group that stripped on Mount Kinabalu said "she was very sorry for the offence caused" and released a statement that "my behaviour was foolish and I know how much offence we all caused to the local people of Sabah. For that, I am truly sorry." The Adams' brother said after their arrest at Angkor that "'They didn't mean any harm, they didn't mean to disrespect any one.'" After their February arrest taking nude pictures at Angkor, the Phnom Pehn Post reported that three French tourists "posted a video online apologising, saying they did not understand the gravity of the cultural faux pas."
However, not every offender has been apologetic. Amichay Rab defended his naked images at Machu Picchu, arguing that "I did it when I was with nobody and with the clarity that is a sacred place for Peruvians, above all, with much respect." A member of the Kinabalu group, Emil Kaminski, released a video ridiculing Malaysians who criticized the groups' nudity on the mountain. The Malaysian Deputy Chief Minister called the episode "uncivilised" and linked the photo session to a subsequent earthquake: "Whether other people believe this or not, it's what we Sabahans believe. When the earthquake happened, it's like a confirmation of our beliefs. It is a sacred mountain and you cannot take it lightly." Kaminski dismissed the notion of sacred space because "it is just a fucking mountain." Kaminski was contemptuous of Malaysian efforts to prosecute the photo session as a breach of local customs, indicating on Facebook that "If local religion prohibits certain actions, then local believers of that religion should not engage in it, but they cannot expect everyone to obey their archaic and idiotic rules."
In a moment when tourism's aesthetics may seem increasingly interchangeable, it is not surprising that some travelers seek an image that departs from traditional tourist photography. Tourists routinely grumble about the number of people at places like Angkor (where about 800,000 people visit each year), and they daydream about an "off-the-beaten-path" traveling experience. In a post on this subject entitled "Respect my Shitty Culture," Emil Kaminski adopted the role of privileged traveler and ranted that for most tourists "travel is all about showing up, doing the Lonely Planet circuit, going to a souvenir store, buying some stupid shit you don't need, and, foremost, keeping your mouth shut. `You cannot criticize things in another country', `You must have respect for other people's culture', and `You must respect other people's religion' have become a dysfunctional set of mantras for giddy backpackers who get their passports, buy some tickets, fly to far-flung places, and then proceed to learn nothing, often aided with copious amounts of alcohol and random mind-debilitating drugs."
Some travelers yearn for the "authentic" travel experience, hoping to escape canned tours and orchestrated historical sites in favor of something that is "genuine" and true to their own imagined self. In that sense there may actually be an interesting insight to take from nude images taken at historic sites, which may illuminate an especially common pattern among Western tourists eager to seek out cultural and historical "authenticity." For many tourists heritage spaces probably are seen as interchangeable stages for their digital images and orchestrated memories. The status of such places as historic sites is consequential and gives the images meaning, but that meaning may simply be derived from their invocation of general historicity and cultural exoticism; that is, images taken at many of these sites may not be meaningful for their specific materialization of a Khmer culture, Incan heritage, or some other concrete place-based history, they may simply matter because they invoke pastness and the exotic as a backdrop to the tourist experience. Few tourists are ever likely to secure a meaningful trip by flashing a vertical smile across their Facebook pages, but those images may reflect a widespread Western travelers' disaffection with contemporary tourist experience and historical sites as we continually seek out the "authentic" experience.

Imagining the Racist Landscape
Boone Hall Plantation bills itself as "America's most photographed plantation," and the Mount Pleasant, South Carolina plantation's moss-draped oak approach and grounds are indeed magnificent. The most dramatic aesthetic feature of the plantation may be the nearly mile-long "Avenue of Oaks" approach, which is draped in southern oaks planted in 1743. Photographed by a legion of tourists whose images crowd the likes of Pinterest, Instagram, and Trip Advisor, the space has also appeared in films including North and South and The Notebook.
In April the visitors photographing the Boone Hall landscape included Dylann Roof, who later murdered nine African Americans in a Charleston church on June 17th. In March and April Roof visited a series of South Carolina historic sites such as Boone Hall and included the images on a website accompanying a racist manifesto. We may find it impossible to fathom the mind of a racist killer and determine how he went from the mimicry of xenophobic talking points to mass murder, but his historic site visits illuminate the somewhat "placeless" historic landscape of the racist imagination. Dylann Roof's imagination of these historic spaces is impossible to conclusively interpret, and his online manifesto and pictures did not deny the historical narratives of African-American heritage sites as much as he simply evaded them. It appears that Roof ignored the complex heritage of all these places even as he felt strangely compelled to visit them. Read the rest of this entry

The lace underwear embossed with the monogram "EB" were reputedly recovered in 1945 from Berchtesgaden, where they were said to grace Eva Braun. The provenience for the $7500 knickers is not clearly established, but the interest in the skivvies of Hitler's mistress is a telling reflection of our deep-seated curiosity in the human dimensions of evil. The fascination with such a prosaic thing illuminates our desire to comprehend (if not explain) the most evil people by focusing on their banal humanity.
Few collectibles provoke more anxiety than Nazi artifacts, whose exchange is strictly regulated throughout most of the world. Many of the codes regulating Nazi memorabilia attempt to keep them from falling into the hands of contemporary neo-Nazis, but many observers simply see the profiteering on Nazi symbols as ghoulish if not immoral. Harry Grenville, whose parents died at Auschwitz, called a 2015 auction of wartime memorabilia "hugely offensive," lamenting that "this auction house is set to make a tidy sum of money from the sale of items that are hugely offensive to a lot of people. It raises again the question about freedom of speech – you can't force people to stop selling Holocaust memorabilia and making money from it but you can deplore it." Grenville is not alone in his uneasiness that Nazi material things have become "collectibles" traded like any other other good. Nevertheless, this aversion to the trade in Nazi collectibles stands somewhat at odds with the pervasive presence of Nazis in popular culture, where Nazism and Hitler are nearly universally recognized stand-ins for evil.

Burying Fans: Material Culture and Ritual at Fandom Funerals
In February lifelong Star Wars and Liverpool Football Club fan Gordon Deacon died of cancer, and the 58-year-old's funeral commemorated his passions. The Cardiff father of four was escorted to St. Margaret's Church by a phalanx of stormtroopers who then oversaw his pallbearers, who were themselves clad in Liverpool jerseys. Deacon's funeral was distinctive, but he is by no means alone embracing his fandom for his final earthly ritual. For instance, the widow of Pittsburgh Steelers fan James Henry Smith requested that he be placed in his favorite reclining chair as if "he just fell asleep watching the game," covered by his beloved Steelers blanket and facing a television showing a Steelers game (with the television remote in his hand). When Doctor Who fan Seb Neale died his family and friends arranged a service at which Neale's coffin was a TARDIS with a blue flashing light; the service program was a picture of Neale cosplaying as 10th Doctor David Tennant; music from the show was played; and instead of scriptural verses "the funeral consisted of quotes from classic Who scripts, including William Hartnell's famous speech from `The Dalek Invasion Of Earth': 'One day, I will come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.'" Read the rest of this entry
Faith at the Brickyard: Ritual, Fandom, and the Indianapolis 500
Memorial Day weekend is among the most cherished holidays in racing fandom, with the Indianapolis 500 culminating a month of racing and community events. For legions of followers the Indianapolis 500 is an annual rite, and for many fans the journey to the speedway is a pilgrimage to one of racing's most hallowed spaces. In 1973 the New York Times celebrated the event and place when it intoned that "the 500 is more than a race. It is a folk festival, a happening. Its pageantry, spectacle and corn make it Middle America's counterpart to France's pilgrimage to Le Mans."
The speedway experience involves systematic ritual, intense desire, and visitation to an important place, all of which have some parallels to pilgrims' religious travel in particular and broader religious experience in general (compare Jean Williams' 2012 study of pilgrimage to the IMS). Religious characterizations of sport fandom perhaps risk hyperbolizing the consequence of sport, and some observers have ridiculed the hackneyed definition of sports' "hallowed ground." In 2008, for instance, sportswriter Andrea Adelson complained that "There is nothing sacred about Augusta National, Yankee Stadium and Wrigley Field. So why are these places referred to in the same way we talk about the Sistine Chapel, St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Wailing Wall?" Adelson argued that sporting places should be characterized as being "steeped in tradition." Adelson's distinction between sacred and secular places reveals a wariness of projecting sacred authenticity onto the prosaic reality of sporting venues, if not sport itself.

Racing Along the Color Line
This month the massive crowds at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway appear to confirm its confident claim to being the "motor racing capital of the world." Racing began on the oval in 1909 and the 500-mile race first ran two years later, with the 99th running of the 500-mile race approaching on Memorial Day weekend. The speedway is a National Historic Landmark, and its fascinating social history reaches well beyond the obsessive statistics and biographical minutia that motorheads have compulsively detailed for a century. The IMS dominates American racing mythology and is as much a pilgrimage destination as a race track. Like so many shrines it invokes a host of American traditions that are perhaps more firmly rooted in our imagination and hagiography than especially concrete history.
The imagination of the speedway's history has recently begun to contemplate historical racial inequalities in sports. This year the 500 Festival parade before the race will be marshalled by the 1955 state high school basketball champions from Indianapolis' segregated Crispus Attucks High School. The Attucks champions' place in the pre-race parade celebrates Indiana's two most adored sports, basketball and racing, but of course the implications of sport and the color line extend beyond the hardwood and the speedway. No 20th-century Indiana institution escaped anti-Black racism, and the speedway and the Indianapolis 500 was long a segregated space and has included very few people of color on the track or in the pits. The prominence of the Attucks players makes a modest but potentially important concession of racism in sports, though the concrete social effects of such discussions remain to be evaluated.

Commemoration and African-American Place: Remembering Basketball and the Dust Bowl
In 1955 Crispus Attucks High School won the Indiana high school basketball crown in one of the state's most fabled sporting moments. In basketball-mad Indiana there are many reasons to celebrate the 1955 Tigers' victory: fronted by hardwood legend Oscar Robertson, the Tigers are venerated for their march through the ranks of Indiana high school basketball teams in 1955 and their domination of the state's best teams throughout the 1950's (Attucks also took crowns in 1956 and 1959 and had a near-miss in 1951).
Garage-mounted basketball hoops, stanchions rolled out onto suburban dead-ends, and scattered courts remain one of the most commonplace features of the Indianapolis landscape, where the game is a staple of everyday life. An astounding range of people have embraced the Attucks basketball championship, which is often spun as racism's conquest at the hands of civility and fairness—qualities that are often somewhat idealistically projected onto basketball. Sport looms in this narrative as one of the rare activities White and Black Hoosiers shared in the 1950's, forging some measure of understanding if not equality beyond the hardwood. This picture of Cold War segregated basketball risks over-stating the transformations worked by basketball or mistaking good intentions for structural changes. Nevertheless, basketball and sport did indeed provide promising glimpses into the possibilities of a life outside anti-Black racism (Richard Pierce's 2000 study of the 1951 Attucks championship provides a compelling analysis of the intersection of the post-war color line and basketball).

Mapping the Black Road: Segregated Driving and the Indianapolis Roadside
In a 1936 study of life in segregated rural Georgia, Arthur Franklin Raper captured the anxiety posed by the African-American car and the political implications of African-American travel. Raper saw the roads as spaces in which White privilege was being undermined if not contested, noting that "only on automobiles on public roads do landlords and tenants and white people and Negroes of the Black Belt meet on the basis of equality. … [T]he tenant can go where he pleases on the public road, and after he gets twenty or thirty minutes from home he travels incognito and is subject to his own wishes."
The story of segregation is often told in spaces that hosted civil rights confrontations: lunch counters, bus stations, and school steps are concrete spots where the denial of privilege was contested. Nevertheless, all public space was regulated, and Black movement inspired particularly neurotic fears. One White farmer interviewed by Arthur Raper "advocated that the cars be taken from the Negroes or that the county maintain two systems of roads, one for the whites and one for the Negroes!" Movement evoked freedom, independence, and agency outside White surveillance, so it inspired anxiety over more than a century: an uneasiness that African Americans were operating outside White control was shared by antebellum ideologues viewing the Underground Railroad, Northern cities witnessing the Great Migration, and Georgia farmers watching African-American cars on the public roadway.

Vacationing and the African-American Dream
In June, 1926 the Indianapolis Recorder heralded the opening of Fox Lake, "the long looked for Indiana lake resort for colored people." Two weeks later the paper ran a spectacular advertisement for a Fourth of July event at Idlewild of Indiana, a segregated vacation getaway south of Indianapolis "promoted by the `race' for the `race.'" In many ways nothing especially dramatic distinguishes such African-American vacation spots from the legion of forest cabins, beaches, and leisure destinations that dotted America. The 20th-century rural Midwest was carpeted by African-American vacation spots that mirrored segregated leisure spaces that began to emerge throughout the country around the turn of the century. Yet in the midst of segregation places like Fox Lake incubated an African American Dream that was perhaps distinguished by a simultaneous embrace of "middle class" values and a rejection of their presumed White exclusivity. Places like Fox Lake certainly provided refuge from racism, but they also incubated class respectability, fed economic and social ambitions, and fanned genuine politicization.
Widespread middle-class ambitions did not grant mass access to inter-war African-American resorts. Idlewild of Michigan (which had no relationship to the Idlewild of Indiana resort) was the most prominent African-American resort in the Midwest, and when the Indianapolis Recorder first referred to it in March, 1916 the African-American newspaper celebrated that "beautiful Idlewild is to be an exclusive, high-class colored summer resort." Idlewild ads emphasized that the resort "has been thoroughly investigated by a number of prominent business people and professional people of the race." A 1919 promotional pamphlet for Idlewild expressly targeted "the thinking, progressive, active class of people, who are leading spirits of their communities."
The Black elite enlisted to boost their cause included Madam C.J. Walker, who owned property at Idlewild. Once control of Idlewild was turned over to African Americans in 1921, W.E.B. Du Bois waxed poetic about the retreat in The Crisis: "For sheer physical beauty … it is the beautifulest stretch I have seen for twenty years; and to that add fellowship—sweet, strong women and keen-witted men from Canada and Texas, California and New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois—all sons and great-grandchildren of Ethiopia, all with the wide leisure of rest and play—can you imagine a more marvelous thing than Idlewild?"

Littering Everest: Nature, Toilets, and Waste on Mt. Everest
One of the most recent volleys in a long-running moral critique of consumption, pollution, and imperialism comes from Mt. Everest, where uneasy scholars and activists have long decried the detritus left on the world's tallest peak. In 1963 National Geographic photographer Barry Bishop was part of the first American team to scale Everest, and he described the mountain as "the world's highest junk yard." Indeed, climbers ascending the mountain have discarded oxygen tanks, tattered tents, food containers, and a helicopter, and dead climbers have been left on the peak since George Mallory and Andrew Irvine died in an ascent attempt in 1924. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay scaled the mountain for the first time in 1953, and Hillary later said "I must admit, when we went to Everest in 1953, we heaved our rubbish around with the best of them. That was nearly forty years ago and in those days hardly anyone had even heard of conservation." When the New York Times examined the massive growth of tourism to Nepal in 1978, Hillary lamented that the Everest region "is now an ecological slum. Tins and trash clutter up the paths and campsites. … The traditional culture is being crushed by the insidious economic machine."
Last week the head of Nepal's mountaineering association spearheaded the charge to address the most repulsive of this trash when he took aim on "large amounts of feces and urine" left on the world's tallest mountain. The Washington Post amplified the rhetoric over human waste on the peak when it repeated Grayson Schaffer's 2013 description of Everest as a "fecal time bomb," quite possibly the most colorful description ever provided for a potential ecological disaster. By various counts, over 5000 climbers have relieved themselves on Everest and left "pyramids of human excrement." In 2012 a Washington Post column by Schaffer had sounded the same jarring image of the Everest base camp outhouses "continuously overflowing with waste." Last year Outside's Lauren Steele reported on climbers' longstanding practice of defecating into glacier crevasses, and with mountain warming "the glacier—and the waste entombed within it—is slowly making its way back toward Base Camp," where climbers drink the melt water.

Bayamo, freshened since his runner-up effort in the Eddie Read Handicap (gr. IT) at Del Mar more than two months ago, rates an edge in a solid field of seven older horses entered for the $250,000 Clement L. Hirsch Turf Championship (gr. IT) at Santa Anita's Oak Tree meeting Sunday.Trainer Julio Canani gave his 5-year-old Valanour gelding a break after Bayamo completed four tough races during the summer. In the 1 1/8-mile Eddie Read July 25, the Irish bred, owned by Prestonwood Farm, lost to stable mate Special Ring by three-quarters of a length. That effort followed a 4 1/2-length victory over Sarafan in the American Handicap (gr. IIT) at Hollywood Park three weeks earlier.Bayamo's summer campaign came after an 11-month recess while recovering from bone chips in an ankle.The Hirsch is an extra furlong and that could be the advantage of Star Over the Bay, stubborn winner of both the Sunset Handicap (gr. IIT) and Del Mar Handicap (gr. IIT) this summer. In both of those races, the 6-year-old Mike Mitchell-trained gelding looked beaten a furlong from home but battled back to pull out victory. Star Over the Bay was an $80,000 claim by Mitchell in May for a partnership that is headed by Carl Van Burger and Landon Vaughn.Another multiple graded stakes winner, the 7-year-old gelding Sarafan, has run second to both of the top choices recently for trainer Neil Drysdale and owner Gary Tanaka. Sandwiched around a victory in the Escondido Handicap Aug. 4 were runner-up finishes to Bayamo in the American and by a neck to Star Over the Bay in the Del Mar Handicap.The Tin Man, who figures to set the pace, is expected to show improvement form his two most recent efforts, which came following a long layoff for trainer Richard Mandella.Vangelis and Ballingarry were fifth and sixth, respectively, in the Arlington Million (gr.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
At 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, December 9, 2012, the new age of marriage equality in Washington state dawned. After learning that Seattle City Hall's marriage docket was overflowing, seven judges in King County volunteered to come into the courthouse to perform marriage ceremonies on Sunday, their day off.
As Dominic Holden observed in The Stranger, "It's almost too perfect," but the first same-sex wedding in the state was officiated by a judge "with the perfect name for the job: Judge Mary Yu."
At 12:01 a.m., Judge Yu married Sarah and Emily Cofer, who were the second couple in line to receive their marriage license on Thursday, December 6. She married several other couples in the early morning hours.
The moving video below, made by Perry Sjogren, captures the joy of newlyweds as they emerge from Seattle City Hall to be greeted by hundreds of happy supporters.
During the December 9, 2012 Holiday Concert of the Seattle Men's Chorus and the Seattle Women's Chorus two couples were wed. Neil Hoyt, member of the Seattle Mens Chorus, and his partner of 23 years, Donald Jenny, were married first. Then Jane Abbott Lighty and Pete-e Petersen, both members of Seattle Women's Chorus, partners for 35 years who received the first marriage license issued on December 6, were married next. Anne Levinson, retired judge and former deputy Seattle mayor, officiated. Dennis Coleman and Rhonda Juliano were witnesses.

Victoria Beckham Celebrates The Big 4-0By: Ann Casano - April 18, 2014
Ever wonder what the rich and famous do on their 40th birthday?
Victoria Beckham took to Social Media yesterday to give the world a play-by-play of her special day.
The former Spice Girl showed off her amazing view to start the day.
She wrote in the caption, "Good morning! Special day with my beautiful babies and wonderful husband, I love you all so much v vb"
Looks like a nice sunny day for a 40th birthday celebration.
Here's the pic from Victoria's Instagram account.
We were then treated to a few Throwback Thursday Twitter (#TBT) pics of her dad, mom, and one that looks like Victoria as a baby.
This is the selfie that may make every lady smile and feel jealous at the same time. Victoria relaxing in the sun with her husband David.
Here's another view, this time not of David, but of the Grand Canyon.
And another #TBT sending out her love to her little brother and sister.
Beckham wrapped up the day with dinner at Nobu in Malibu, where she was joined by close friends and family.
Not a bad way to spend a 40th. Happy Birthday Victoria!

Device Orientation emulation with the Firefox OS simulator in App Manager
Adding a feature to emulate the accelerometer in the Firefox OS simulator. It will never replace a real device, but will be helpful for testing purpose with:
- how much the device has been rotated around the z-axis.
- how much the device is tilted left-to-right.
- how much it's tilted front-to-back.12 votesplanned · AdminAxel Kratel (Product manager, Mozilla) responded

Persistent multiline command editor (like Firebug)
Firebug has the ability to switch between the Command Line (one-off commands) and the Command Editor, which is multiline, syntax-highlighted, and most importantly *persistent* (Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to run the code, then you can play around with it). This is mostly what's keeping me from switching from Firebug to Developer Tools.
(Also please make sure that it runs in the same context as the console; Chrome has a kind of similar feature called Snippets, but they don't run in the breakpoint context when debugging, making them much less useful).52 votes
Thanks for the feedback! We got pretty swamped with feedback this week, sorry it took so long to look at this.
Geolocation emulation with the Firefox OS simulator in App Manager
Can we add an option to fake the GPS, so developers can test their applications using geolocation.
It was previously in the simulator, but was removed, I think, when we went from the Firefox OS Simulator 4.x to App Manager. Can we add it back in the simulators used in App Manager? It was useful for developers using the geolocation in their application.35 votesplanned · AdminAxel Kratel (Product manager, Mozilla) responded
This is planned in relatively short order.
if the content of a node is only text, we should expand the ellipsis
Currently you need to expand the nodes to see text, we should be smarter here and show people at least an abbreviated version of the textContent for the node.

Support live editing with any external editor
The architecutre of fb-flo is very nice: http://facebook.github.io/fb-flo/
It sounds like it needs some deep JavaScript VM foo to do hot code reloading.
Maybe a Fx Addon for Facebook Flo support?

Thanks for the feedback! We plan to both allow external editors, and implement a sample implementation in the next quarter or so.
Modification of local storage / indexeddb

I would like to see all CSS rules, not just the ones being applied to Firefox
In Google Chrome, I can see all CSS rules, whether prefixed with -webkit, or -moz. In Firefox dev tools, I would like to see all CSS rules being applied to an element, not just the CSS rules that are being applied to Firefox.1 vote

Allow clicking on a URL for an iframe, image, or link to open that link in a new tab or window
It would be great to be able to interact with links from the markup view.
We could automatically convert these URLs into links that open in a new tab on click, or we could allow a right click -> "Open in new tab" feature for these attributes. Also, a "Copy Link Location" action on right click like what happens in the main browser context menu would be great.

Positioning information in Box Model view
I've been finding myself wishing the box model view showed positioning information. Specifically, I'd like to see the following attributes:
* display

* top, right, bottom, left
* z-index6 votes
This is being worked on.
Highlight nodes on hover of breadcrumbs
For consistency reasons, everywhere in our devtools where we display DOM nodes, they should be displayed similarly and support the same kind of actions.
One such action is highlight in the page on hover. Highlighter on hover works in the markupview, console and variablesview. However it doesn't work in the breadcrumbs, but it should.

add an option to show the browser rules in the "rules" sub panel
Currently, we can toggle the browser rules in the "computed" sub panel, but not in the "rules" sub panel. This would be super useful to have them here as well.
Note that Firebug has this option ("show the default rules").
related bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9409503 votes
Property grouping
Computed properties in the inspector's computed-view are sorted alphabetically. It could help grouping them by types instead.
Firebug groups them by Text, Background, Box-Model, Layout, ...
I'm not saying we should do exactly the same, but I think this grouping helps (+ the group headers have collapse/expand arrows and the state remains when new nodes are selected, which helps if you're only interested in one set of properties).

Keep the dotted outline when an element is clicked with the Inspector
Before Firefox 29, when we clicked on an element with the inspector tool, the dotted outline stay visible.
It allowed us to see the effect of the newly applied CSS rules on the element position.
Since Firefox 29, the dotted outline fade out once the element is clicked.
I'd like to see an option to keep this dotted outline visible.21 votes

The Space
The location:
The apartment is in a perfect location. Close to the city center and exhibition grounds, etc. A short walk away is the subway and tram connection (e.g. subway station Max-Weber-Platz or Prinzregentenplatz). The Munich city center can be reached, for example, in only 5 minutes. Nearby are restaurants, cafes and shops. The apartment is accessible both by car and by train.
The Apartment:
The apartment is very tastefully decorated. It has a white-/creme-colored bedroom with king-size bed and designer furniture mixed with Ikea. Everything is fully equipped: the cosy kitchen with its small dining table and two chairs, living room with Bang & Olufsen TV and comfortable couch, a wardrobe and a spacious bathroom with tub / shower.
Bed linen and towels are provided.
The quiet, charming courtyard location guarantees calm sleep, so you can dream quite pleasantly. ;-)
A quiet, cozy apartment in the middle of Munich, and definitely worth a visit! You will feel at home. I look forward to your visit!

Das war eine ganz tolle Wohnung. Genau wie es beschrieben war. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.
Monika and her husband made everything very easy for our stay in Munich. Nothing seemed like too much trouble. We loved the apartment, which was quite close to Marienplatz by U-Bahn (Max-Weber-Platz is the nearest station), but far enough out for it to feel calm. The neighbourhood is lovely - the supermarket opposite, and the bakery were great. On our first night - Sunday - we arrived quite late, and nothing much seemed open, but just around the corner, we found a Mexican restaurant, where we ended up having a meal at 11pm!
Very warm welcome and beautiful accommodations near city center.
Clean , quiet and close to the city for everything you need . Fine for a place to rest your head
Our experience at Monika's was fantastic. Contact with her was easy and she was most helpful. She was out of the country at the time but even so she organised everything for us perfectly. Her brother Tom welcomed us on our arrival and was a wonderful host.
When we arrived at her place it was warm, perfectly presented and homely which was exactly what we were looking for. She even left a guide book and information for us of local places to visit which I thought was a wonderful touch. Our experience has been great and I want to thank both Monika and Tom for a wonderful stay in Munich.
I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking to visit Munich.
I strongly recommend Monika"s flat if you stay Munich. Because her flat is convenient location to sightseeing. Additionally my favorite German bakery Hofpfisterei is very close from the flat. I love that place. If I have a change to stay Munich, definitely I will stay there again. Thank you for your hospitality Monika!!
Monika's place was great; we really enjoyed staying there. The neighborhood is nice and very walkable--it's close to public transport and near the Isar, downtown, etc. The place was clean and comfortable; we had everything we needed, and it was quiet as well. We'd definitely stay there again.

Horrendous service. Mediocre food. Not worth a visit.
Horrendous service. Mediocre food. Not worth a visit.
Service is horrible. Took 50 min for two sandwiches and a salad to arrive at our table.
Great atmosphere and decor. Really nice vibe. Reasonably priced beer. Mains are way too expensive.
Food was unimpressive. Turkey and cranberry panini tasted bland and processed.
Get the smoked mozzarella as a starter. Was delicious. Also, book reservations.
Disappointing selection and deals. You're better off heading across the border or to Vaughan Mills.
Mediocre service and food. Best part was the brew and view.
Great food and one of my fav places to celeb watch.
Don't bother with lawn seats. If it rains, there's no coverage and you're so far away from the action.
Make sure you book an appointment for the Genius Bar. You'll get stuck waiting, if you don't!

Analyzing recent economic, political, and territorial transformations of Bolivia's gas-rich region, Tarija, we argue that pre-existing territorial projects of a diverse set of subnational and national actors have: (i) shaped the influence of the gas industry on local dynamics; (ii) changed the scale relationships between local communities, the state, and companies; and (iii) mediated the transformation of territories in ways determined by the nature and aspirations of these territorial projects. Description: Article in press 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Large-scale mapping of territorial development dynamics in Latin America http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:8080/dspace/handle/10625/54124 Title: Large-scale mapping of territorial development dynamics in Latin America Authors: Modrego, Félix; Berdegué, Julio A. Abstract: This paper summarizes a study of changes in per-capita income, monetary poverty, and income distribution in 9,045 subnational administrative units of nine Latin American countries between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s. The results largely support spatial convergence of mean household incomes, although the estimates indicate it has been slow. Territorial inequality is found to be persistent and reduces the pro-poor effect of local income growth. Although national-context specific, the estimates also indicate that territorial development dynamics are influenced by the structural features of the territories. In view of the evidence, territorial development policies in Latin America seem well warranted.

For Chile and Colombia, our results suggest that these urban centers can make a greater contribution to the rate of economic growth and poverty reduction in rural–urban territories compared to deep-rural ones, but in some cases with a rise in income inequality. The mechanisms through which urban centers affect the dynamics of territorial development are country-specific.

Results indicate that these systems reflect the territory's demographic and agrarian history and that local gender systems have a positive influence on women's participation in the labor market, though this is not accompanied by decreased salary discrimination in the salmon industry. The implication is that territory-specific and gender factors must be considered in national employment policies. Description: Article in press 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

My main passions are sports including soccer/futbol, kickball, basketball and hot dog eating competitions...LOL!!! I have been told that I am unique and refreshing. Being outdoors and dancing to latin music are two of my favorite past times which help ground me.
Barcelona, Spain, is my place of birth, so not only do I have the Spanish Culture sprinkled with the Miami style, but I also have the chivalrous and OLD school values that are slowly diminishing in present day society.

very nice texture , what figure is that?
The texture is Onyx.
This is one of the best textures ever so I wrote to the vendor asking him to update for Daz Studio 4.5+ not just DS 3.
