Forget fighting like cats and dogs. These days, divorcing spouses are fighting over their cats and dogs.
On Tuesday, News 4 Tucson investigated the rising number of pet custody battles, which attorneys surveyed by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers in 2006 say have increased substantially in the past decade.
Pets are considered property in every state in the country, according to the local news report, so judges often have their hands tied when couples come to them looking to reach custody agreements for their pooch.
"The court really doesn't have any authority to give somebody rights of access or time with a pet," Tucson attorney Elisabeth Benavidez said.
Instead, Benavidez said many couples are resolving their pet custody issues outside of court, hammering out civil agreements separate from the main divorce settlement to determine who gets the pets. In a recent case, Benavidez helped one divorced man secure visitation with his Chihuahuas every other day for at least an hour.
Conflict among divorcing pet owners has become so common that many lawyers are suggesting couples with pets sign "pre-pup agreements" in addition to a pre-nuptial agreement, the Daily Mail reported in March 2010.
Celebrities have become embroiled in pet custody battles, too. Click through the photos to see who walked away with their four-legged friend.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline fought for custody of their dogs after Spears lost custody of their two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, in September 2007. Animal rights activists urged Spears to relinquish custody of her dogs, and PETA even wrote an open letter to Federline encouraging him to file for custody of their pets. "For the sake of your children and the animals who are at risk while in Ms. Spears' custody, we hope that you will do the right and best thing for all involved and pursue a custody order for the animals so that your sons can continue to have the company of the animals they've grown to adore," wrote PETA president Ingrid E. Newkirk. According to The Telegraph, Spears was voted the worst celebrity dog owner in a poll conducted by The New York Dog and The Hollywood Dog magazines.
Socialite and reality TV star Tinsley Mortimer shares joint custody of her two Chihuahuas, Bella and BeBe, with her ex-husband Topper. "We do month to month," she told People magazine in March 2010. "If I get a chance to have nothing to do, I'll ... just hang around at home with my dogs."
Despite Jennifer Love Hewitt and ex fiancée Ross McCall's "amicable" split in January 2009, the pair became embroiled in a bitter custody battle over her dog, Mona. A source told the New York Daily News that Hewitt resorted to dirty tricks to win the dog's loyaly, including "attempting to change Mona's name so that when Ross calls, the dog won't come," the source said.
Drew Barrymore and Tom Green divorced in 2001 after less than six months of marriage. The couple reportedly fought for custody of Barrymore's yellow Labrador Flossie in the divorce proceedings, which Barrymore ultimately won. The dog saved hers and Green's lives in May 1998 when their Beverly Hills home caught on fire. "Flossie barked and literally banged on (Drew and Tom's) bedroom door. She was really the main alert," Barrymore's publicist told People magazine. Flossie passed away in July 2010, and Barrymore spread her ashes across the Ganges river in India.
In addition for fighting for custody of their eight children, exes Jon and Kate Gosselin reportedly argued about the fate of their two German shepherds, Shoka and Nala, which they purchased in a February 2009 episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8. In September 2009, Jon returned the dogs to their breeder, telling E! News that Kate refused to care for them in his absence. "It's not fair to the dogs to not be wanted in their own home," Jon said. Kate decided to bring back one of the dogs in November 2010, much to the delight of their kids.
One day after Tiger Wood's fateful November 2009 car accident that triggered revelations about his infidelity, his ex-wife Elin Nordegren left their family home with at least three of their dogs. During their divorce proceedings, both Woods and Nordegren reportedly wanted custody of the family dogs. Nordegren is said to have received $110 million and joint custody of their two children in the settlement, though it's unclear who was awarded custody of their furry friends. Tiger was photographed with two of their dogs, Taz and Yogi, while Elin was away with the kids in Sweden in April 2010.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Nintendo's reported its financial results for the first of half of the year, and things are still a little rocky. Net sales in the last six months have decreased 6.8 percent compared to the same point last year, while net income continues to drop, this time by 27,996 million yen. As of September 2012, Nintendo has now sold over 22 million 3DS units (three million more since last quarter), while the Wii remains just shy of the 100 million milestone, settling at 97.2 million units sold. Nintendo looks to be in a similar position to last year, with customers still waiting for the company's next big console to appear -- and the gamesmaker hoping they will. Laying blame at the strong yen, the company has dramatically cut its forecast for the rest of the year, down from 20 billion ($250 million) to 6 billion yen ($75 million), pinning its hopes on 3DS sales ahead of the Wii U's global launch later this year.

ooops...wait. HAHA
@Mr Wizard - throughout the 70's many different groups were doing stuff you are mentioning, but nothing official as a "hip hop" song. People like James Brown, Gil Scott-Heron, The Last Poets, etc. Where people were talking rhythmically over beats. No one considered that hip hop because there was no hip hop back then.
King Tim III is widely considered the first hip hop recording , but it got over shadowed by Rapper's Delight which came out a few weeks after and was obviously the big hit. Although, people were doing this all over the country but nothing was officially recorded so the debate can go on forever. Check it out:
I have to say it is refreshing to hear about someone talking about Hip-Hop in a positive light instead of being put down by socieities usuall lies, myths, and stereotypes.
Being white and in the 30-40 year old demographic group I enjoy hearing old school hip-hop classics like sugar hill gang, grandmaster flash and the furious five, run dmc, beastie boys (some may disagree but I like them), and a other that I can't think of off the top of my head. It's nice to hear about a radio station willing to play old schol hip hop. That is one of the great things about WMSE-FM (91.7) they are independant and are completly supported by private donations from their listeners and philanthropists in the community.
I will have to listen in on tuesday nights.

Free Personal loan Agreement FormsAn interest free personal loan is a legal undertaking and thus some sort of an agreement is needed to cover the terms and conditions of the loan. It needs to state the personal information of both parties as well as the amount which is going to be lent. Information concerning the repayments must also be listed. How much the repayments will be and how often they will be. Apart from that the contract needs to cover other outcomes such as what happens if the borrower defaults on the loan. Can the borrower repay the loan ahead of time? If so what has to happen for that to be a possibility? Does the lender need to have any security or collateral from the borrower? Can the lender call in the loan at any time and ask the borrower to make good the remainder of the loan? If so, what rights does the borrower have in this situation? It is important that all outcomes are covered in the agreement so as to avoid any problems during the loan if they aren't. Then both parties will claim they are right and anything can be asked for or demanded. Ultimately if a person in good faith borrows money they should pay it back.View doc

British Foreign Office Minister for the Middle East Alistair Burt has said that "the people of Gaza deserve a better future," during a visit to the West Bank and Jerusalem yesterday.
Foreign Secretary William Hague used a statement in parliament on Tuesday to reiterate the UK government's view that Hamas should bear the principal responsibility for the escalation in violence in Gaza over the past week. The statement came as Israel announced it was suspending plans for a ground operation to allow talks in Egypt to take place to secure a truce.
David Cameron this week spent three days in the Persian Gulf, leading a UK business delegation in a series of meetings with officials from the entrenched dictatorships of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. His goal was to show "respect and friendship" for both countries while securing business deals with them — and Oman — for the defence manufacturer BAE Systems.
The fourth UK-Israel strategic dialogue was held in the UK on Thursday. Foreign Office Permanent Under-Secretary and Head of the Diplomatic Service Simon Fraser led the team of UK government officials, while the Israeli team was headed by Rafi Barak, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Director General.
Israeli Ambassador Daniel Taub attended a breakfast with members of the Glasgow Jewish community last Thursday.
Stanley Lovatt, Israel's honorary consul in Scotland, organised a breakfast with 80 guests on Thursday morning at the Glasgow Hilton hotel.
A bust of Britain's wartime prime minister, Winston Churchill, will be unveiled in central Jerusalem on Sunday in a ceremony commemorating his contribution to the founding of the state of Israel and his warm ties with the Jewish people.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond met the Israeli ambassador, Daniel Taub, last week in Edinburgh on the ambassador's first diplomatic trip to Scotland.
The Department of Health has rebuffed calls for medicines produced in Israel and sold in this country to be labelled as such.
Colchester Liberal Democrat MP Sir Bob Russell this week asked if the Health Secretary would "introduce measures to ensure that any medicines available across the counter made in Israel are clearly marked as being a product of that country".
Alistair Burt, the Foreign Office minister for the Middle East has emphasised "the urgent need to make progress towards a two state solution," after a meeting with the Palestinians' chief negotiator, Dr Saeb Erekat, in London today.
Parliament's only Green Party MP has been accused of "selling out" after she backed constituents' protests against an eco-friendly concept store.
Caroline Lucas has entered the row over the EcoStream store in her Brighton Pavilion constituency after she backed demonstrations outside the Israeli-owned company, but also said she did not believe the store should close.

Updated at 12:42 a.m.NATIONALS PAGE NATIONALS VIDEO
By Mark ZuckermanNationals Insider
MIAMI -- The ball came off Omar Infante's bat and went high into the South Florida night, a big-league pop-up that Danny Espinosa needed only to back up five or six steps from his second-base position to camp underneath.
And then Espinosa heard Jayson Werth charging in from right field, calling him off.
"I wasn't totally sure that Espi was going to get it," Werth explained. "So I called it."
Werth was probably the only one inside Sun Life Stadium who didn't realize Espinosa had the play made with ease. He was at most 10 feet behind the infield dirt. Werth had absolutely no business barging in.
And by night's end, after he had dropped the ball and set in motion the chain of events that gave the Florida Marlins a 3-2, 10-inning victory over the Washington Nationals, Werth knew he alone was to blame.
"That cost us the game," he said. "Tough spot. Obviously, I take total responsibility for that one."
Werth's inexplicable gaffe may have been the leading cause of this punch-to-the-gut loss, but it was hardly the only mistake made over the course of three hours and 30 minutes.
There was third base coach Bo Porter's ill-advised decision to wave Jerry Hairston around with two outs in the top of the eighth. And there were countless missed RBI opportunities by just about everyone in the Nationals' lineup, leading to 12 stranded runners.
But Werth's error was easily the lowlight of the evening, and one that surely left fans back home thinking these Nationals continue to look a lot like the last-place Nationals of the past three years. Even if the manager wasn't publicly as upset about it as everyone else.
"I just like the effort," Jim Riggleman said. "He came in hard, he really took charge on the play. It's an error of aggression, and we can live with that."
Errors of aggression. Sure, they may be more palatable than errors of passiveness. But that doesn't make them any easier to watch. Especially when they're being committed by a club that's made far too many of these over the years and is supposed to have advanced past that stage in its development.
If anything, it looks like the Nationals are trying too hard to make something good happen and get this season off on a positive note. Instead, they're only making things worse.
"I think everybody just wants to do their job right now and maybe is pressing a little bit," said Werth, who has reached base in seven of 17 plate appearances but has yet to drive in a run. "We just need to relax and play the game."
The Nationals look anything but relaxed at the moment. They look jittery in the field and on the bases. And they look overanxious at the plate, perhaps leading to their abysmal .121 average with runners in scoring position through the season's first four games.
And when you're struggling to score runs, you start taking chances that are unlikely to pay off. Just look at Porter's mistake in the eighth inning Tuesday night. With two outs and Jerry Hairston on first base, Werth crushed a line drive off the left-field fence. The Marlins got the ball back in quickly, but Porter didn't realize just how quickly and started waving Hairston around. By the time the coach realized his mistake, it was too late. Hairston was caught in a rundown and was tagged out to end the inning with the team's hottest hitter, Ryan Zimmerman, in the on-deck circle.
"It's a bad feeling," Porter said in acknowledging his poor decision. "You're over there long enough, you'll make that mistake. And I've made it before. ... You were hoping we could score a run and win the game. It didn't happen tonight."
Instead of taking a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the eighth, the Nationals remained tied with the Marlins. And by the time Werth botched Infante's routine pop-up to begin the bottom of the 10th, it only seemed a matter of time before this one ended in heart-wrenching fashion for the visiting squad.
The Marlins quickly loaded the bases with nobody out against reliever Drew Storen, forcing Riggleman to summon Sean Burnett from the bullpen and Hairston from left field to serve as a fifth infielder in this do-or-die scenario.
Amazingly, Burnett got Logan Morrison to hit a shallow fly ball, then struck out John Buck to bring himself within one out of escaping the jam.
"I was just trying to pull a Houdini act and get out of there somehow, some way," the left-hander said.
Like his teammates, though, perhaps Burnett tried to do a little too much when he would have been better served pitching within his means. With Donnie Murphy at the plate, Burnett tried to place a sinker down and away. He wound up leaving it over the heart of the strike zone. Murphy tagged a base hit to left-center, Infante waltzed home with the winning run and the Nationals trudged off the field in shame, owners of a 1-3 record.
"We really haven't played that particularly well the start of the season, but we've been in games," Hairston said. "We're putting ourselves in position to win, which is good. We've just got to get over the hump. And we will."
For that to happen, though, the Nationals will need to take a deep breath and stop trying to force the issue. There's enough talent on this roster to win at a reasonable rate. They just have to trust themselves to do it.
Seems simple enough, except when you consider how snake-bitten this franchise seems to be sometimes.
Tuesday's loss was bad, sure. But as if someone was playing a cruel joke on them, the Nationals retreated to their clubhouse to find a leak in the ceiling and a broken-down bus unable to transport them back to their hotel in a driving rainstorm.
"It's a brand-new bus, too," general manager Mike Rizzo said with a defeated laugh. Given all that had happened over the course of the night, "it should be broken down," Rizzo pointed out.
An appropriate conclusion to a miserable evening at the ballpark for a franchise that desperately wants to enjoy good times yet still can't figure out how to make that happen.

Jacquelyn Martin / AP (Obama shows a Marine how he wants an umbrella held over his head)
President Obama's weekly remarks
Hi, everybody. This week, I've been speaking about America's national security — our past, our present, and our future.
On Thursday, I outlined the future of our fight against terrorism — the threats we face, and the way in which we will meet them.
On Friday, I went to Annapolis to celebrate the extraordinary young men and women of the United States Naval Academy's Class of 2013 — the sailors and Marines who will not only lead that fight, but who will lead our country for decades to come.
And on Monday, we celebrate Memorial Day. Unofficially, it's the start of summer — a chance for us to spend some time with family and friends, at barbecues or the beach, getting a little fun and relaxation in before heading back to work.
It's also a day on which we set aside some time, on our own or with our families, to honor and remember all the men and women who have given their lives in service to this country we love.
They are heroes, each and every one. They gave America the most precious thing they had — "the last full measure of devotion." And because they did, we are who we are today — a free and prosperous nation, the greatest in the world.
At a time when only about one percent of the American people bear the burden of our defense, the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform isn't always readily apparent. That's partly because our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen are so skilled at what they do.
It's also because those who serve tend to do so quietly. They don't seek the limelight. They don't serve for our admiration, or even our gratitude. They risk their lives, and many give their lives, for something larger than themselves or any of us: the ideals of liberty and justice that make America a beacon of hope for the world.
That's been true throughout our history — from our earliest days, when a tiny band of revolutionaries stood up to an Empire, to our 9/11 Generation, which continues to serve and sacrifice today.
Every time a threat has risen, Americans have risen to meet it. And because of that courage — that willingness to fight, and even die — America endures.
That is the purpose of Memorial Day. To remember with gratitude the countless men and women who gave their lives so we could know peace and live in freedom.

FAIRBANKS — Fairbanks police are asking for help locating a Fairbanks man whose mother has been looking for him for more than two months.
According to his mother, Robert L. Hughes, 43, of Fairbanks, left his home on Chena Hot Springs Road on Sept. 24 and has not been seen since, detective Scott Adams said.
Adams said Hughes' mother contacted police about her son Nov. 10. Calls to the jail, hospital and Hughes' friends have turned up nothing, Adams said.
Police don't have much information with which to work.
Hughes' mother believes Hughes was headed to the University of Alaska Fairbanks on Sept. 24 for some kind of class but did not know what kind of class it was or how he got there, Adams said. Hughes did not own or drive a vehicle, he said.
Police don't know where Hughes worked, if anywhere.
A court records search shows a court summons was issued but returned unserved for Hughes in August for an alleged probation violation from a 2011 driving under the influence conviction. There is no listed warrant for Hughes' arrest, Adams said.
Hughes is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds. He has blue eyes and dark brown hair. Police want anyone with information about his whereabouts to call 450-6500.

Democratic Energy
Can electricity be produced locally where it can be controlled by local communities? Yes, claims Judy Barnes of Oregonians For Renewable Energy Policy in this conversation with Bill Resnick. She points to the example of Germany where it is possible for residents to sell back to the system the energy they produce themselves with solar panels or windmills -- or maybe even by riding their stationary bikes! Barnes will be speaking at a Community Forum on Building a Green Oregon, Saturday, January 16 and the First Unitarian Church, SW 12th and Salmon, starting at 10 am.

Unobtanium Open House
Saturday, September 5th, 2015
12pm to 3pm
I want to invite everyone out to our 2nd Annual Open House at our location in scenic Ravena, NY. We have finally moved our whole operation from the old leather factory in Gloversville, NY. Cars that have not seen the light of day in over a decade are now back in the sun.
There is plenty of parking that is super safe as the Police Station is the only other building on our dead end street. We encourage everyone to bring their Porsche, but if you can't please bring yourself and a few friends. We will have food and drink on hand and the Unobtanium crew of Adam, Matt, and Big John will be there to answer any questions. We might even talk Big John into doing some feats of great strength!
The warehouse normally has 15-20 early Porsche projects to look at as well as shelf after shelf of parts for all your restoration needs. You won't be disappointed if Porsche 356's and early 9 series cars are your passion. In addition, some of our personal collection will be on hand like the 356 A Coupe that won Daytona in 1966. You can also check out the latest shop project - we are converting a 914-6 into a 904 using a real 904 body!
We are hoping Wray from Proshaper can come out with the latest metal he is shaping for our aluminum 550 Spyder project. His website is http://www.proshaper.com if you want to check out his work.
If you want to see pics from last year's open house you can check them out on our blog:
Last year we lined the street in so many Porsches you would have thought you were in Germany! The shop address is:
14 W Shore St.
Ravena, NY 12143
Hope to see you there!

David, the fact that you even bring it up for discussion shows that you have a conscience, and that you care about the privacy of the person that you bought the camera from. Nobody is perfect, and I don't think what you did was substantially wrong. If you have her address just send the film back. If not, and she doesn't reply within a year or so, just discard it.
Would it have been better to hand her the unprocessed film? Sure. But you didn't, and it's not the end of the world. You offered to send the film back to her, and she didn't respond. That says to me she isn't that interested after all. If you need to explain yourself, it's probably best that you thought it would be a nice thing to do, to process the film for her, but on second thought you regret doing so. If she can't find it in her heart to forgive you for processing her roll of film for free, and offering to send it back, then I think she's the one that has a problem, and not you.
I purchased a Baby Rollie 4x4 that had a exposed roll so i decided to process it.. I emailed the seller the images and he was very happy to see the images of himself taken on a hiking trip when he was a much younger man.. You did the correct thing, there was no invasion of privacy..
I would leave the film unprocessed and contact her about her roll of film. If she doesn't respond, I'd just throw away the film. You're not really obligated to tell her about the film because it's really your property.
I bought cameras with film in them a number of times. I'm "presumptuous and thoughtless" enough that I tossed it. I don't care if the film depicts Sasquatch, I can't be bothered.
If you have the opportunity, offer to either return the film unprocessed or, if you are so inclined, offer to develop it for the person and share any results.
In a lot of cases cameras like this actually belonged to deceased or incapable relatives and sellers are appreciative of the opportunity to discover what is on the film.
If you get no response to the offer, do what you wish.
david, just throw the film out. its not worth the trouble.
i know what you mean, it's a leap of faith.
over the years i have bought people subscriptions to apug
... i knew they had limited means &c ...
one of these people tried to have me expelled from the website
for being nice ...
go figure.
Very interesting how this ran the full gamut of opinion and quite telling just how differently we all think. I did not 'suffer' from my seeming omission here but I did want to run this by just to see what you would have done. This incident was over a year ago and the film is long gone into the incinerator.
More than the specific incident is the mindset that runs from 'you did serious wrong' to 'you did nothing wrong'. And I am sure that each can make an honest case as to his/her respective position. I feel no lingering guilt here: my intentions were noble (albeit just a mite curious). In essence, it is no big deal but I would not do that again perhaps.
Thomas Bertilsson, I think, gave the best overall answer as his covered all ground without polarizing the situation. However, I do thank you all. And, of course, further comments on this ethical question might also shed new light upon our habits as humans. We are revealed not only by our actions but also by our reasons for such. - David Lyga

State Defends $450,000 for Venice Exhibitions; Hit for Spending in Tough Times
Byline: Jim McElhatton, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The State Department is poised to spend nearly a half-million dollars on a pair of upcoming art and architecture exhibitions in Italy, an expense that fiscal watchdogs criticize with the nation's budget picture stuck in the red.
Plans call for the State Department to spend $350,000 so that U.S. artists can showcase their works at the 54th edition of the Venice Biennale next year, an international event that's been dubbed the Olympics of modern art.
Department officials plan to spend an additional $100,000 so U.S.-based curators at nonprofit museums, galleries and arts and architecture schools can travel and display their works at the Venice Biennale of Architecture scheduled for later this year.
State Department officials call the money well-spent. They say the exhibitions provide a way to showcase American creativity and innovation to the hundreds of thousands of visitors expected to view the exhibits from all over the world.
The U.S. presence at the Venice Biennale, one of the world's premier art and architectural fairs, is a demonstration of our commitment to engage with the world in the realm of culture and ideas, State Department spokesman Michael J. Tran said.
But taxpayer watchdogs say the expenditures are emblematic of how federal agencies have strayed too far from their core missions at a time when the country is trillions of dollars in debt.
And politicians wonder why people yell at town-hall meetings, said David Williams, vice president of policy at the nonprofit Citizens Against Government Waste. There's no reason why taxpayers should be paying for art shows in Italy. It should be completely privately funded. This is not a core function of the government.
Pete Sepp, vice president for policy and communications at the National Taxpayers Union, also questioned the expenditures, even though he said in better economic times, "International art exhibitions can be a great thing.
But the fact is, this is a time of severe financial crisis for the U.S. …

I've got two diesels but no biodiesel nearby. For lots of info look at tdiclub.com
WEll he went to check out the gas station, I guess its only 5% bio. So not worth it.
Might be fun to try and make some though
I work at a GMC dealership, and several customers that have the duramax diesel trucks are using biodiesel. I think you have to change a few things though...not sure if you can just dump it in. We have Kettle foods in town (they make potato chips), all of their vehicles run off their waste oil, as biodiesel.

Biodiesel comes in different mixes with petrodiesel, from B-5 (5% bio) to B-100. B-20 is commonly sold in some parts of the country. B-100 is harder to find, depending on where you are. VW TDI Jettas and Golfs are pretty popular bio cars. In the midwest, where there is alot more biodiesel sold, folks run their F-150s and tractors with the stuff. No modifications are necessary to fun the stuff in the cars. You might have to replace the fuel filter a little more, is all.
B-5 to B-100 varieties of fuel are generally "virgin", that is, the fuels are not made from used Chinese food or McD's grease. There are a few biofuel co-ops around where I live that treat the grease for use in diesel cars.
The Navy requires biodiesel to be used whenever possible. The closest biodiesel station to me is at the Pentagon (it's a Citgo!) So it's far from being fringe anymore. I wish we had more choice in diesel cars in the US. I can't afford a mercedes, and VWs have too many reliability problems for me. Honda won't bring their diesel cars to the US, oh well, I might as well ride my bike.
Here are some links that might get you started.

I know a guy who runs an ancient VW Rabbit on fast-food oil.....that's right, as in McDonalds. He calls it the Happy Car, because who would'nt be happy ina car that smelled of fried chicken? It's loud, and looks a century old, but it's really cheap and efficient to run (40+ mpg). He modified it hinself, by the way.
"Someone owes me the 30 seconds of life I wasted by clicking on this thread." -cydewaze
Actually, I just saw this on a car show the other day on tv. They ran a truck through a full tank on regular diesel and did all their tests on milage and horsepower etc. Then, flushed the system, replaced the tank, and ran it using biodiesel made from cooking oil. They said it got the same mileage, and no decrease in horsepower. THey also said it seemed to run slightly smoother and the exhaust smelled like french fries. lol.
Some hippies in Ann Arbor Michigan actually have a natural gas station. Not exactly sure what you have to do to make a car run on natural gas, but the idea seems cool.
Bring back the Sig Test!
I run a jetta tdi wagon and use up to b100 during the summer (b75 in winter) with a pump only a few miles from the house. It doesn't smell like anything but burning fuel in my case(which is good, I don't need the added sensory input of french fry smell all the time). I used to have a Golf TDI till it got totalled. I love them both and regularly get 45-46 mpg out of the Jetta. Our Bio is more expensive than the petro version but I feel like it's worth it do lessen our dependence on oil as much as I can.
Might not be accomplishing anything but I'm going to do it anyway.
I have a Jetta TDI, and had been running it on B100 through the summer and fall. When winter hit, our Co-op's tank wasn't prepared and the icy conditions caused ice crystals to form. It gummed up my fuel filter and made for some pretty scary performance until my fuel filter was replaced. The shop I take it to couldn't figure what the problem was because the filter had just been replaced 1 week earlier. The Co-op hasn't come forward to pay for the damages that their product caused, so I'm back to Petrol Diesel. I want to support the alternative technologies, and even if it costs a bit more now, I think supporting it will lead to cheaper prices later. But I'm not going to support the business practices of the Co-op, and since they're the only game in town, that means no more BioDiesel for now.
There was a congressman from Kentucky that ran his campaign vehicle on "industrial hemp" oil. Always had a paceline of tie-dyed mtb'ers. Made frequent stops at pizza huts and taco stands.
Lots of trucks and busses running on propane/natural gas. Pretty simple conversion.
If gasoline prices can remain high for the next 5 years or so, there will be a lot more biodiesel stations and vehicles that use them available.
Crappy diesels from Detroit in the 80's and cheap gasoline ever since pretty much killed off the diesel car in the U.S. But the Japanese and European car makers have them sitting and waiting. And once again, the American car makers will be left behind.
Brazil has been running their cars on ethanol for decades now.
It is a myth that burning biodiesel or hemp oil or whatever will reduce our dependence on foreign oil in the sense that we will buy less of it as a consequence. Foreign oil is the cheapest so it will get used first. Using biodiesel means less U.S. oil will be pumped from the ground. This is the real reason why we haven't drilled in ANWR despite being perfectly able to do so for the past 30 or so years. All these people driving hybrids and riding bicycles just reduce demand for gasoline, thereby helping to lower the price for those in monster SUV's.
This is not necessarily a bad thing; we can suck the foreign oil dry and then we'll be the fat cats sitting on the remaining oil.
Meanwhile, it has become economically feasible to tap the humongous oil sands deposits in Canada. And they've got a HUGE amount of oil up there. We've got a huge amount of oil trapped in shale deposits but at the moment it's too expensive to retrieve it.
Money thrown at ethanol to be added to gasoline is nothing more than corporate welfare. I'm not sure but I believe the energy required to create ethanol is not recovered when the ethanol is burned. The only benefit is a reduction in smog produced by cars but what about the pollution caused by the coal burning plant the supplied the energy to creat the ethanol in the first place? Far better to use nuclear power.
Life is about hanging onto what you think is important and finding out what really is important.
"Stop Ruining my joke!", "No, a joke implies humor attached at no additional cost"
So many sayings, so little sig space.
For Hydrogen to be of any value, there's got to be a cheap way of making it. Electrolysis of seawater would be great if you had a cheap energy source. Solar and wind are still too expensive. Nuclear is too. Not sure where the break even point is, though. Time for some Googlin'.
With the high energy prices it's almost feasible economically to install solar panels on your house. Back in the 70's/80's, the only way solar made any sense was when it was coupled with fat subsidies from the gov't. Better insulation, building techniques, and advances in home furnace and air conditioning technology have proven far more effective than going solar.
You should be able to run true biodiesel in any diesel engine without a problem. When you have to change stuff is when you run it on pure vegetable oil. Diesels will run on oil but not when it gets too cold (the oil gets too thick). And the oil has different characteristics so newer computer-controlled diesels are sensitive to the change, older ones (like the VW rabbit mentioned ealier) are really tolerant of a wide variety of fuel characteristics.
Biodeisel is made by chemically "cracking" the vegetable oil molecule into a different one that is a lot less viscous. The cracking is most easily done with Methanol (the methanol is a catalyst, it can later be re-extracted from the byproducts) but can be done with ethanol. This is similar to the way that crude oil is "cracked" into the useful products (gasoline, kerosene, etc) except it doesn't require the same temperature and pressure and stuff... you can get the equipment to do it yourself relatively inexpensively.

Very nice economic study of hydrogen generated from wind power in California.
Highlights the problems inherent in using wind power to generate electricity, what it would take to overcome them, and the costs involved.
toyota has been building several hydrogen engines/vehicles that address the hydrogen problem in several ways. One car is designed to operate well in places that would have poor hydrogen station coverage while others are designed to cover vehicles that would have frequent access to hydrogen stations. From my understanding the technology just is not being researched by enough companies. Maybe 1 company out of 1000 companies that are researching something gasoline or gasoline engine related.Originally Posted by bbattle

The United States consumes roughly 20 million barrels per day (MMbpd) of crude oil. This is a phenomenal amount, and constitutes about 25% of the world's oil production. So where does it all go? The stats show that personal transport accounts for 45% of U.S. consumption -- about twice the consumption of trucking, aviation and shipping combined.
The breakdown for 2003 is:
Total oil consumption: 19.7 MMbpd
Transportation: 13.1 MMbpd
Autos/light trucks: 9 MMbpd
Medium/heavy trucks: 3.8 MMbpd
Jet fuel: 1.6 MMbpd
Feedstock: 3.5 MMbpd

B. Improved Oil Recovery
C. Heavy Oil and Oil Sands

There's bio in Carrboro, and if you find yourself in the western part of the state, several in Asheville. Here's a link to a map where you can find stations. We have only the Citgo around here, selling B-20. If there were more supply, I'd be interested in a Golf TDI (I really hope VWs get better in the reliability department, though)Originally Posted by Redrom

I have always loved to create. I can remember making Barbie Doll clothes out of scraps of fabric as early as 6 years old.
I was fascinated by my mother's friend who could make fabulous clothing out of odds and ends. I would watch her crochet and try to memorize how her hands moved. One day I picked up a hook and some crochet thread that my mother had laying around, and I started to crochet. The first thing I made was a crude doily, but it was enough to encourage me to continue. I bought pattern books with my allowance and tried to follow the diagrams to learn different stitches.
Over the years I have tried various crafts but always return back to my first loves, sewing and crocheting! This shop is my opportunity to share my creative ideas with all of you. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I enjoy creating them!
What a wonderfully versatile hat this is... oh and because it had that girly feel, I added a cute little purse for all the little fashionistas out there! I love the feather-like band on this hat and so repeated it in the purse too. The floppy hat has that soft, feminine feel, while the beanie is perfect for boys or girls. This hat can take on different personalities and is perfect to accessorize for holidays and special occasions.
Pattern includes instructions for both brims, a bow, flower and heart applique.
The hat is available in sizes from Newborn to Adult and works up very quickly
My patterns are written in Standard American Terms and include pictures, stitch guides and explanations, as necessary, to make them easy to follow.

I can still remember like it was yesterday, sitting on that long vinyl backseat of the car, irritating my brother with punchbuggies and annoying my parents with alternating "are we there yets?" and "how much longers?" Good times.
I feel fortunate that I was able to be a part of a lot of road trips and saw a vast part of the country at an early age. One trip I especially recall was seeing New York City come into view for the first time. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. I went over bridges, under overpasses and through tunnels and then walked among the foundations of some really tall shiny skyscrapers.
I marveled at all of these modern results of precise science and higher mathematics. My mind today still struggles as much as my 11-year-old mind did back then, trying to understand how that bridge could stand firm in the moving waters.
And how they parted the waters enough to put that tunnel in there. And why these 80-story buildings don't topple over like my Legos. These things still baffle and amaze me.
Even so, I can understand what is involved in the process and engineering to make them happen. There is a list of materials needed, a proven formula to follow, and over a given time, through dedicated work of muscle and brain power, the structure is built.
Even more amazing are the natural landscapes. Through my travels, I've been lucky enough to see some really cool ones. A lot of them, I'm proud to say, are indigenous and ubiquitous in our own Virginian backyard. A cool flowing river glistening a warm sunbeam.
An orange and purple sunset settling in behind an audience of clouds. Perfectly molded mountains with just the right amount of trees to clothe their ruggedness.
The bold and crisp crimson of a cardinal juxtaposed on a snowy canvas draped though a forest.
The definitive elegance of each season.
At the end of the day, these are the things that I find myself staring at and wondering about.
No metal, nails or complicated formulas. No bulldozers, fundraisers, or time cards. Just God waking up in a good mood and reaching into His pocket and blessing us with these amazing and awesome wonders. A little reminder of how simple it is for Him, and how much we appreciate what is naturally given and is right in front of us to relish.
Around here, at least once throughout the day, we can find one of these breathtaking snapshots of natural beauty. Much like those pictures we see on free wall calendars, with a heartwarming axiom underneath to inspire.
When we're surrounded by this much organic splendor to inspire and appreciate, who needs powerful words or witty phrases?
And nothing magnifies and exemplifies all these simple and elegant wonders, better than spring. Open your eyes, take a deep breath and enjoy. It's finally here.

Author Info
|Herman Melville
|A descendant of a member of the Boston Tea Party, Melville was born in New York. His father went bankrupt and died when the boy was 12, leaving seven children and a penniless wife. Herman quit school at 15 and went to sea for the first time at the age of 18 (an adventure he described in his novel REDBURN). Two years later, after a school-teaching interlude, he sailed to the South Seas on a whaler--the basis for his great whaling novel, MOBY-DICK. He stayed in the South Seas for over three years, gaining the background he would later use in his many novels about the sea. Then he returned to the States to write. His first novel, TYPEE, was published in 1846, and that and his next four books made him famous and sought-after in the literary world. Married in 1847, in the summer of 1850 he bought an 18th-century farmhouse in the Massachusetts Berkshires, where he and Nathaniel Hawthorne became close friends. The friendship, however, lasted only two years, and ended for unknown reasons. (Hawthorne's wife Sophia pronounced Melville, "A man with true, warm heart, and a soul and an intellect--with life to his fingerprints; earnest,sincere, and reverent; very tender and modest." Hawthorne himself called him "a person of very gentlemanly instincts in every respect, save that he is a little heterodox in the matter of clean linen.") MOBY-DICK, dedicated to Hawthorne, was published in 1851. Partly because MOBY-DICK was not well received, partly from his own inclination, Melville stopped writing fiction in 1857, after the publication of THE CONFIDENCE MAN--except for the masterly novella, BILLY BUDD, which he finished shortly before his death. In his entire career, Melville earned a total of about $10,000 from his books; his novel PIERRE earned him only $157 in total royalties. He spent the last 19 years of his life in New York City as an obscure customs inspector. He died at home, 104 East 26th Street, of heart failure, at the age of 72.

Wonder what you do if they get warped? Although im assuming the point is they dont do that.

You took the words right out of my mouth! Skyway's still making wheels, but no 26s .

I know! We used to have one of these on the farm - genuine 20" Tuff II's as OE.Originally Posted by dminor
Oh wow, I had a set in yellow when I was 14 bashing around on a BMX.
Like a circus monkey on a stolen Harley......
Here is me in 1985 on my gt pro performer... I know I look like a dork.. but what were you doing in 1985?
Awwww, what a cute little girl you wereOriginally Posted by mcoine
26" Tuffs would be way lighter than 26" Motomags, that is for sure. I'd also like to see Tioga bring back the 26" CompIII's. I've been tempted to buy a NOS pair off my LBS for sometime now.Originally Posted by gastro
Yes they made 24", and they still do. Like last year, or something they brought back both the 20" and 24" in white.Originally Posted by mcoine
