Presenting the Performance VWritten by on October 1, 1996 Contributors: PPC Photographic This magnificent roadster could be BUILT BY YOU!
As with most great ideas, the brainstorm to build this cool but realistic car occurred during a bench racing session. Unlike most bench racing ideas, though, four months later this dream was a super-detailed and driveable highboy. Everyone involved (SplitFire, which sponsored the buildup; Thom Taylor, who drew the car's initial look; Lobeck's Hot Rods, which built the car; all thecompanies that helped out by frantically tossing parts at us to meet our Power Tour '96 deadline; and others) went above and beyond the call of duty to make this roadster one of the trickest bolt-together cars ever.
So what makes this car so trick? Thom Taylor dug deep to create a '33 highboy full of subtleties after receiving some direction from SplitFire's Ed Zinke, Barry Lobeck, and HOT ROD on what the project was about. Taylor envisioned a roadster with boxed and rounded '34 frame horns, a bobbed rear section to make room for a clean rollpan, a chopped and reclined windshield, 15- and 17-inch Boyds, a multihued paint scheme, and more.
To transform the image into a reality, Lobeck's started with a Gibbon '33-'34 glass roadster body and a Just-A-Hobby '34 frame. Headlight/shock mounts were welded on after ensuring the Vintique-supplied King Bees cleared the grille. The rear of the frame was bobbed just behind the rearend to allow for a custom rollpan, also built by Lobeck's.
The suspension is a combination of Pete & Jake's (P&J) and Super Bell Axle components. A Super Bell 4-inch dropped I-beam axle (drilled and chromed) is located by a P&J's four-bar, panhard bar and shocks, and a One & Only single spring. The front end is steered by a Mullins-prepped Vega steering box (connected to a Mullins solid column and a P&J's four-spoke billet steering wheel through polished stainless steel Borgeson U-joints) and a P&J's pitman arm and steering links. Super Bell spindles hold solid-disc brake rotors covered by Super Bell's cool dust covers, which give the front end that early-hot-rod look.
Wilwood dual-piston calipers provide solid braking power. The Currie 8-inch rearend is located with a P&J's ladder bar and panhard bar along with a Viper shock setup. Everything that could be ordered chromed was, and everything else that came raw was given top-quality shiny stuff by CustomChrome Plating in Grafton, Ohio.
Unlike most street rods, this roadster runs an all–Ford SVO drivetrain. The 302 SVO engine and the B&M C4 transmission were mocked into place on the frame for proper placement. Then the Gibbon body was dropped over the frame with the engine and trans still bolted in to check the placement. To bolt the body onto the frame, the fiberglass floor needed to be cut out around the C4 and the driveshaft. The hole in the floor was left until after the rough chassis and body fitment were done, then Lobeck's built a new trans and driveshaft tunnel.
The stainless steel brake lines, fittings, and brackets came from Bob's Braided Lines in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Lobeck's brake line guru, Mark Mindzora, bent them up.
The chassis rests on Boyds Vintage II wheels and BFGoodrich tires (P195/60R15 front tires on 15x6-inch wheels and P275/60R17 rear tires on 17x8-inch wheels) to give the highboy just a little different big 'n' little look. To further the look, a custom '33 grille by Jim Rench's Hot Rod Stuff was draped over the Walker three-core radiator, leading the way for the Rootlieb custom three-piece hood held in place with a Carolina Customs hood latch. To finish it off and really clean up the rear of the car, Lobeck's built a super-subtle rollpan that incorporates the taillights, the license plate holder, and the main electrical shutoff (just behind the license plate).
The dashboard was molded into the body and loaded with Ford Masterpiece gauges, then a Jensen stereo from Soundquest was hidden under the dash. A Mullins dropped column mount, floor swivel, and tach bucket hang off the Mullins column, and an adjustable-location Lokar shifter, parking brake, throttle pedal, and transmission kick-down linkage control the other driver inputs. A Tanks 18-gallon fuel tank was mounted in the space between the passenger area and the trunk, then Juliano's seatbelts were installed. An Optima battery was chosen to ensure the roadster always powers up. A Downs power trunk opener was used for custom access to the fuel tank and the battery. EZ Jumpers were bolted under the car in case of a power loss.
The bodywork came next. Lobeck's Ed Roethel, Frank Konopacki, and Mark Mindzora massaged the Gibbon body and all the nonchromed chassis components to perfection with PPG products for an incredible look. Then, after all the wiring and accessories were determined, Portage Trim in Ravenna, Ohio, built an incredible interior that includes the only sliding roadster seat we've ever seen.
To finish off this cool topless, Exhaust It in Cleveland, Ohio, built a slick stainless steel exhaust, which was HPC coated for good looks, and Lobeck's built a flying-V grille guard to which Custom Chrome gave its finest finish.
SplitFire's Performance V looks and runs great thanks to all the hard work and creativity poured into it by all the people involved. Follow along next month as we continue to show how this repop dream came together.

Here are all the basic components to assemble a street rod. Lobeck's assembled the Just-A-Hobby frame around the Ford SVO 302 crate engine, B&M C4 trans, Currie 8-inch rearend, Super Bell/Pete & Jake's front end, Boyds wheels/BFG tires, and Gibbon body to ensure a killer stance when the car was finished.All the suspension components were preassembled to ensure compatibility. They were left in place while the chassis was built to ensure a ride height with sufficient clearance for a smooth ride. Lobeck's says a chassis built around a generic ride height might not have enough suspension clearance, so the company likes to build the chassis with the suspension in place.Just-A-Hobby uses locating blocks to build the chassis so that the car sits at a bitchin' ride height and the suspension can work through bumps while traveling down the road.The Super Bell dropped axle was located at ride height and the Pete & Jake's four-bar was located on the frame parallel to ground. Then holes were drilled and the mounts were welded onto the frame. This isn't easy with the frame upside down, but if it's done now, the car will sit right and the suspension will work properly when the car is on the road.The chromed axle required some finessing. The inside diameter of the kingpin boss had some chroming buildup and needed to be reamed before the kingpin would snugly slide down the bore.Also, there was a slight lip of chrome on the top and bottom of the kingpin boss that was smoothed with a Scotch-Brite pad on a disc to get the Super Bell spindles to fit. These were small tasks, but they needed to be done to get everything to fit right.Just-A-Hobby's Danny Tesar tacked all the mounts onto the frame, then double-checked the locations before finish-welding everything.The rest of the Super Bell/Pete & Jake's/Wilwood front suspension, steering, and brake systems bolted up with no problems and looked great. While there is no thread lock on the fasteners because this is just the mock-up stage, you should apply at least blue thread lock during your final assembly.
The Just-A-Hobby crossmember was built around the Pete & Jake's ladder-bar rear suspension, so the Currie 8-inch bolted in perfectly.Here's the rough chassis with the Boyds Vintage IIs and BFGs bolted up. It might look as though the chassis has a bunch of room, but when the drivetrain and accessories are bolted in, the frame area gets really tight.Although they had been prefitted, the SVO engine and the B&M trans were checked again for fitment with the HPC-coated Street & Performance headers bolted up. Notice the trick serpentine-belt setup that came on the engine. CustomChrome Plating later chromed and polished a bunch of the Ford-supplied parts for a super-clean engine bay. The driveshaft length was measured at this time so that Driveline Specialties in Springfield, Missouri, could get to work on it.

Pharmaceutical Medicine is a scientific medical discipline concerned with the discovery, development, evaluation, registration, monitoring and medical aspects of the marketing of medicines for the benefit of patients and the public health. This discipline has gone through an important evolution on a worldwide scale in the last 50 years. However, in Mexico and Latin America, its development has been recent and very satisfactory, both on an organizational level, as well as academically.
Pharmaceutical Medicine in Mexico has reached a level of development that must be reinforced and perfected for maintaining regional and global leadership. Mexico's current level of development can be measured by the new empowerment of undergraduate and specialist educational programmes for those interested in Pharmaceutical Medicine at both public and private universities. Mexico is the first country in Latin America to obtain official recognition and support by one of two most renowned upper education and postgraduate institutions in the country. In addition, local associations, such as the Association of Medical Specialists in the Pharmaceutical Industry (Asociación de Mé dicos Especialistas en la Industria Farmacéutica, A.C. [AMEIFAC]), have become major drivers for the development and growth of Pharmaceutical Medicine in Mexico by performing multiple activities of relevance to the discipline. Important examples include the publishing of books and articles, organizing presentations, workshops, symposia and forums, and participating in both national and international conferences, such as the 6th Latin American Congress on Clinical Research held in Mexico City in 2009, and the 7th Latin American Congress on Clinical Research, which will be held in Sao Paolo, Brazil in late 2010. AMEIFAC also organizes important social and educational events such as bi-monthly seminars, annual meetings and a biennial congress for the entire pharmaceutical and academic arena in Mexico. Topics such as pharmacoeconomics, sustainable development and fast-tracking oncology clinical trials are only some of the many topics covered during these gatherings.
A new age of maturity and solidification of Pharmaceutical Medicine as a specialty and medical development realm in both Mexico and throughout the world is underway. Our growth and development will continue to flourish as Pharmaceutical Medicine gains increasing global recognition as a vital part of future drug, biotechnological and device development.

text: In case you didn't read the rest..60-month backlog at December 31, 2007, will be reduced by approximately $22 million; and12-month backlog entering calendar year 2007 was reduced between $3 million and $4 million, which reduces both our revenue and operating free cash flow by the same amount, and results in a reduction in our GAAP and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share guidance of approximately $0.06.The impact of higher expenses related to our review of historical stock option granting practices. Our previous guidance assumed total expenses from this review of approximately $6 million. Due to the length of the review, our new estimate of expenses for the review is approximately $7 million. This expense impacts the quarters ending December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 by approximately $3 million each, and the quarter ending June 30, 2007 by approximately $1 million.Incremental compensation expense between $1 million and $2 million primarily related to a post-employment agreement with a former executive officer. We now expect our revenue in the second half of calendar year 2007 to be approximately 20 to 25 percent higher than in the first half of the year. In addition, we expect our reported GAAP expenses in the second half of calendar year 2007 to be approximately one to two percent higher than in the first half of the year.Based on the specific items noted above, our adjusted financial guidance for calendar year 2007 calculates as follows:Operating free cash flow between $57 million and $67 million;Revenue between $428 million and $447 million;60-month backlog on December 31, 2007 between $1.309 billion and $1.339 billion;GAAP earnings per share between $1.05 and $1.34; andAdjusted non-GAAP earnings per share between $1.51 and $1.80.March Quarter Operating Highlights"We had solid contracting and strong cash generation in the March quarter," added Heasley. "We continue to see the need for major financial institutions, retailers and payment processors to replace or update their legacy payment infrastructures in the face of ongoing regulatory pressures, ever-increasing electronic payment volumes and the costs and complexity of supporting older technologies."We signed a major wholesale payments deal in Europe with a top 20 world bank, who licensed our ACI Money Transfer System to help them upgrade their global payments infrastructure and comply with the impending SEPA regulations. We signed new BASE24-eps deals with two of the top ten banks in France, our first retail payment engine deals in France in many years. We signed a top U.S. bank to run our ACI Enterprise Banker product in a hosted model, validation that our ACI On Demand initiative has interest within the banking community. We signed several deals in the quarter with financial institutions in the United Kingdom to help them meet the new requirements for the U.K.-based Faster Payments initiative. In addition to the contracts we signed in France, we signed several significant BASE24-eps deals across our geographic channels, with both new and existing accounts, and on a range of operating platforms. Overall, we signed thirteen new accounts, licensed twenty-five new applications with existing customers and we signed 28 capacity upgrade licenses over $100 thousand.

UK natives Andrew Corrie and Harriet Maxwell relocated to Soho back in 2005, when they opened the New York outpost of their furniture and accessories shop Ochre on Broome Street. The nearby loft they settled in required a complete renovation; they relocated the kitchen to the front of the loft (for more light), and built a series of glass-walled rooms toward the interior of the loft for their three small children. The couple outfitted the subtly glamorous interior with a mix of antiques and new pieces from Ochre and the lower-priced Canvas line—all in the classic Ochre palette of moody grays, pale pinks, and robin's egg blue.

The Mexican summer home is owned by Brittney Borjeson. Brittany moved to Mexico to escape hectic city life. Last September she found her dream home: a lovely two-bedroom house overlooking the ocean in the southern hillsides of Sayulita. She also launched a shop selling Mexican crafts and artifacts, designed by herself and made by local artisans. I truly love this home as it is simple yet cozy decorated in a natural style. Almost everything in Borjeson's two-story home is custom-made, either by herself or with the help of village craftsmen.

Wood is one of the best and most versatile natural materials to introduce into your cozy home. You can use wood for chic furnishings, art, supporting columns, or masterfully executed accessories such as stools, jewelry boxes, or storage chests. The list of fine woods that will seamlessly blend in most décors includes mahogany, ballut, cedar, teak, ġewż, poplar, and maple. Both glossy and matte finishes are trendy and can be deployed to achieve a sophisticated look, granted you do not mix items in different varnishes in a single room. Though most homeowners usually prefer wooden flooring in their living room and sleeping areas, reputed bathroom builders say that even bathroom floors can be executed in wood on condition that you have a freestanding tub. For a cool effect, pick either hardwood or laminate for your nature-inspired bathing area.

Natural fabrics such as jute, silk, bjankerija, cotton, and wool can spruce up home ambiance without compromising visual unity of other natural elements. To liven up the décor, use textiles in bright colors as these can add warmth and cheer to even the dullest of backdrops. If you are aiming for a calmer look, madankollu, opt for neutral tones instead. From quant rugs, natural-fiber curtains and sofa covers to knitted tapestries and colorful cushions, you can add a snug natural touch to every part of your home.

Ample natural light is an asset for a cozy home, so draw back the curtains and let sunshine flood the room! Jew, if you want to keep nosy neighbors out of your space, try outfitting the windows with bamboo or rattan shades, curtains made from natural materials such as silk and jute, or drapes made from coarse fabrics such as canvas, homespun, or burlap.

Bring the outdoors in by adding potted plants, herbs, or flowers to your living room. In addition to introducing visual charm, plants also improve air quality, filter out pollutants, and keep mood and cognitive function in check. Succulents are very trendy din is-sena, and require minimal care, so add a handful of these cool pants in your home or allocate a part of your space to a mini botanical garden.

Stone is one more natural material that can be used indoors to an exceptionally appealing effect. Depending on the overall home color scheme and your budget, you can opt for various stone types such as granite, irħam, slate, limestone, briks, or travertine. The areas that can be outfitted with stone include walls, art, bars, mantelpieces, kitchen counters, and bathroom, as well as hallways and conservatories.

Although high-end modern home designs look cool, there is something inimitably magnetic to nature-inspired interiors. Natural beauty will never go out of fashion, and the everlasting charm of organic elements makes the natural look ideal for homeowners who want to take their living areas to a whole new level without extensive upgrades. On top of the evergreen note, natural elements combine well with most decorative styles such as African, Ġappuniż, Scandinavian and shabby chic, which further adds to their versatility. Ready to decorate your space with nature in mind?

By Friday afternoon, when most teachers are looking forward to the weekend, I am already gearing up to spend most of Saturday preparing my Sunday homily. My Sundays are spent celebrating Mass at the parish run by my religious order in Brooklyn, or at a nearby church where I often help out. By Sunday night I am often bone tired and collapse just as I start picking through the newspapers.
Despite those challenges, I wouldn't change a thing. To live and work in a community of priests and brothers who are firmly committed to pastoral ministry in the spirit of Vatican II, and also to teach in an outstanding Catholic high school, means I am living the vocation to which I have always felt called. I consider myself richly blessed.
When I first contemplated a religious vocation, it was largely because of the fine example of several of my priest-teachers in high school. I entered the diocesan seminary after college, but I realized that, given the shortage of priests in ministry, the possibility of being able to teach full-time as a priest was becoming more and more unlikely. I left the seminary shortly before ordination and found a teaching position in a Catholic school. Then I began my long quest to combine my desire to teach with my call to priesthood. Through a series of twists and turns (where, in hindsight, I can clearly see the hand of God), I found my way to the Brooklyn Oratory of St. Philip Neri. Here was a religious community that would allow me to live out...

Introduction: Trazodone is an antidepressant belonging to the class of serotonin receptor antagonists and reuptake inhibitors. It is approved by the FDA for the treatment of depression. Insomnia is the most frequent reason for prescription of trazodone. It has also been proven useful in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Other off-label uses include the treatment of bulimia, benzodiazepine/alcohol dependence, fibromyalgia, central nervous system degenerative diseases (behavioral disorders in dementia and other organic disorders), schizophrenia, chronic pain disease and diabetic neuropathy, sexual dysfunction. Areas covered: This paper evaluates trazodone's efficacy and safety in its off-label uses. It also discusses the possibility that a combination of trazodone with SSRIs may prevent or treat some of the SSRI side effects, such as anxiety, insomnia and sexual dysfunction, in addition to synergically increasing SSRIs' antidepressant activity. Expert opinion: Few clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate trazodone's efficacy in the treatment of the diseases and symptoms for which it is often used in clinical practice. More studies are necessary to investigate possible new therapeutic indications, and to scientifically demonstrate the risk/benefit ratio for the many conditions for which trazodone is used, but not approved by the FDA.

Amended Review:
Pippin addressed all of the issues and Easy Digital Downloads now works perfectly. Highly recommend!
Simple, well-conceived and easy to use, BUT EDD permission and communication problems with payment processors render it useless.
The plugin is free, but priority support is paid for. However, even after purchasing support I have had no resolution - in fact, no response to my support query in 48 hours - and it appears I am not the only one.
To be fair, it looks like Pippin may be in the midst of dealing with rapid growth that is hard to handle. Regardless, it remains that EDD does not perform as advertised at this time. I hope to see this corrected in the near future.

Nobody wants to see your stupid freaking Shield!
(Yes I have Shield envy)
Yeah I had the throw the Hawkeyes pic in there.
Congratulations, I had one in my hand last week at a gun show, and I walked away! New in the box from a local dealer I know and I walked away! I spent my fun money last month on a G19 so I didn't need to spend the money on it, but I have been kicking myself all week.
Awesome gun. I am still undecided between XDS vs Shield. I havent had the chance to hold either, they are like unicorns in Illinois.
Are you saying gun stores in Iowa have handguns ???????????????????????? what a novel idea......time to gas up the car.........
There are two types of people who carry concealed weapons...Responsible ones and Irresponsible ones...which are you...
Ah, yes....the elusive, almost mythical Smith & Wesson Shield. I held one last April, and decided to wait for new gun prices to subside.
.....last one I have seen. Lesson learned? A high priced Shield in the hand is better than, alas......no Shield at all.
Give to them according to their deeds and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; give to them according to the work of their hands; render to them their deserts. Psalm 28:4
Things gun forums have taught me:
-Some people shoot guns others "run" them.
-I don't dislike Glocks but often dislike Glock owners.
-Open carry is to a handgun as bluetooth is to a cell phone!
-Simple math can deliver posts per day... some gun forum members need to get out more!!!
Mine just arrived at my local FFL. Wait time on the BGC is 8 days, so I've got time to look for a holster and pray for some 9mm ammo to magically appear.

TIPS are up on a day when regular treasuries are down significantly and Congress is threatening default? Obviously, the TIP market and overall treasury market are not concerned about the phony and bogus threat of default, nor is the stock market, whose sell-off today can just as easily be explained by profit-taking, or fear of inflation for that matter, as anything else.Bottomline: inflation is bad for stocks and horrendous for bonds, and inflation is here. Hunker down. TIPS were made to weather this storm, and they will, but there will be some turbulence along the way.
we could see 8% inflation and that would be great for TIPs
At some point, probably soon, TIP will either become sensitive to rising rates or will have to diverge from TLT.

Did You Know?
Hydraulic fracturing is a technique in which a liquid is injected under high pressure into a well in order to create tiny fissures in the rock deep beneath the earth which then allow gas and oil to flow into the well. The term "hydraulic fracturing" is first known to have appeared in print in a 1948 issue of Oil & Gas Journal. A 1953 issue of the same journal also contains the earliest known print use of "fracking." The word fracking (sometimes spelled fraccing or fracing, particularly by those in the gas and oil industries) was created by shortening "fracturing." The addition of the "k" brings the word into conformity with the inflected forms of similar English words ending in a vowel plus "c," such as shellacking, panicking, and frolicking.
Origin and Etymology of fracking
by shortening & alteration from (hydraulic) fracturing
First Known Use: 1953

Amazon.com Review
Premature burial has a long literary history, from Boccaccio's Decameron to Romeo and Juliet to Wilkie Collins's Jezebel's Daughter and, of course, Edgar Allan Poe's "Premature Burial" and other works. Macabre tales of narrow escapes owing to grave robbers and lazy gravediggers, as well as horrific stories of exhumed coffins containing bloodied, contorted corpses, were common in both the medical and the lay press in the 18th and 19th centuries. Bondeson shows how these stories reflected public fears--fears caused in part by the development of resuscitation techniques for drowning victims, which fed a growing doubt in the reliability of prevailing signs of death. The medical community was divided on the issue; some were offended that the general public doubted their ability to determine death. Others, however, searched for definitive signs of death, many of which seem ludicrous today (one suggestion involved sticking the finger of a suspected corpse in the doctor's ear; if life remained the doctor would hear a faint buzzing sound). Bondeson also describes, in gleeful detail, other systems developed to prevent premature burial, including elaborate security coffins with signaling devices inside. More remarkable are the "Leichenhäuser" or waiting mortuaries where corpses were kept in warm rooms until putrefaction was evident. Each corpse had a number of strings or wires attached to its fingers and toes, so that the slightest twitch would sound an alarm and medical aid could be brought immediately. These Leichenhäuser were built in many cities in German-speaking Europe; one built in Munich in 1808 featured both a common and a luxury section and was open to the public (Mark Twain visited in the 1880s); the Vienna Leichenhäus used an electronic warning system (though not in its separate section for suicides, it's interesting to note); and two were built in Stuttgart as late as 1875.
Were these precautions necessary? No "patient" ever actually revived while in any of the German waiting mortuaries, but Bondeson does describe some documented near-miss cases from the 20th century in which supposed corpses were revived. Throughout the book, Bondeson recounts old wives' tales, urban legends, and scientific study with equal levels of straightforwardness and humor--and, perhaps, a slight smirk. Though it's not for the squeamish (which is perhaps an unnecessary warning; what squeamish person is going to read a book about premature burial?), Buried Alive is an entertaining and eminently readable look at this little-known history. --Sunny Delaney

When instead of taking a shower, a person uses a bunch of baby wipes to clean their Face, neck, underarms, groin, hands etc. Usually due to the large number of children that Mexicans have, to save on water they will do this. Hence the term
John: Yo, I don't have time to shower and change and get to the show.
Billy: Just get some of those baby wipes and take a Mexican Bath!

I was taking a shit the other day and i got a Mexican bath
by Rooster4991 April 03, 2011
An alternative to bathing, the mexican bath is the act of completely saturating yourself with cheap cologne in an effort to cover up the smell of rice, beans, chili powder, and body odor. It is the sign of pure laziness (and a likely illegal immigrant). Also see "sweet nigger."
"Hey dude, I think I smell your odor. Are you going to take a shower?"
"Nah, I'll just take a mexican bath."
"Nah, I'll just take a mexican bath."

"Hey, I just found Pedro passed out in the alley. He took a nasty mexican bath. Whose carrying him home cuz I ain`t gonna touch him. Nasty freak.
by swerbow72 May 19, 2007
When you take a shit in a hose and then transfer the hose to your bath to clean up the place and then add some beans for an authentic Mexican smell to accommodate you as you wash your wash in a full-of-shit toilet and then complain of how the sink does not have a big enough hole for you to shit in. After that you wash yourself in some pina colada that you jacked off in so you have jizz, shit and possibly piss on you. After that you complain about how others smell and notice that your lawn's manure is really your own shit from the hose you shitted in. Finally, you drink piss because you don't know the differnece between tequila and piss.
Mexican bath damn it's good.

2008 Just for unPC
posted by February 12 at 20:52 PMon
In the comments, unPC referred to, but didn't link, this NYT story about the Catholic vote going to Clinton by impressive margins. It's an interesting piece, especially from my perspective—I went to an all-girls Catholic high school headed by a woman principal (who was also my AP calculus and physics teacher), and I concur that, at least in my limited experience, there's a simpatico for female leadership among the Catholic laity, despite that whole no-women-priests thing. (And the fact that my Catholic mom is a precinct delegate for Obama.) But it seems equally likely that a larger share of Hispanic and low-income voters would identify as Catholic.
But given that HRC has been winning the Catholic vote, how did things turn out today?
Catholic (weekly church attendance) 7%: Clinton 41%, Obama 55%
Catholic (< weekly attendance) 10%: Clinton 49%, Obama 50%
Catholic (weekly church attendance) 9%: Clinton 49%, Obama 38%
Catholic (< weekly attendance) 12%: Clinton 47%, Obama 50%
Looks like Catholic voters are still an Obama weakness, but there's some movement in his direction. Seems to me like he could pick up a few more—especially among voters who care about just war theory, the death penalty, and asking for forgiveness when you've made a terrible mistake. But I was raised by hippie Catholics, so what do I know.
(If you're curious: Obama won the small Latino vote in Virginia but lost the smaller Latino vote in Maryland.)

What do the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Lakers, Montreal Canadiens and Green Bay Packers have in common? They all use SwimEx pools and plunge tanks.
These teams, along with 130 professional and collegiate organizations believe SwimEx is important for training and rehabilitating their elite athletes. Terry Franconia insisted on a SwimEx when he managed the Red Sox and thought it was so beneficial to the team the Cleveland Indians now have one!
"We put the athletes into the pool before they're able to do any other exercises. Even if they're on crutches, we can get them into the pool and get them moving and exercising, which speeds up their recovery," said Graham Rynbend, head athletic trainer for the Montreal Canadiens. The team's SwimEx 900T is equipped with an integrated treadmill and used daily to treat injured players during the hockey season. "The SwimEx is by far the most important therapy modality that we've added."
With an overall water depth of 66", the 900T features a floor insert and a second water level. Therapy patients can utilize either the shallow rehab station or the deep well for various protocols. The optional integrated treadmill gives athletes the ability to run against SwimEx's "wall of water" without bearing their full weight.
Ed Lacerte, head athletic trainer of the Boston Celtics, said the deep well and workstations in their team's SwimEx 700T provide an effective mix of therapeutic options for recovering athletes.
"Our deep water well is particularly important to us. It allows for a totally non-weight-bearing environment. Utilizing the pool's multiple water depths and various workstations, athletes of different sizes and heights, in all stages of injury recovery, can run, swim, or complete prescribed therapeutic exercise programs against the current," Ed said.
The 1000s of athletes who use SwimEx pools and plunge tanks are different in many ways, but they do have at least one thing in common: their ability to use SwimEx products to get back on the field fast!

We started off with some drinks. I had a latte which was satisfactory while A* ordered the Napoleone & Co. Apple Cider.
Napoleone & Co. Apple Cider
Ricotta hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter
A* ordered these and was in awe as soon as he took a bite. He loved the honeycomb butter with the hotcakes but I thought there could have been more banana in the dish.
Spanish Eggs with chorizo & black pudding
I liked the soft eggs with the yolk oozing out which helped with the acidity of the napoli sauce while the chirizo gave the dish a spicy kick. This was also my first time trying black pudding which I found not to my liking.
A nice suburban cafe/restaurant which has good food but nothing worthy of tempting me back for a re-visit.
Food: 7/10
Service: 7/10
Value: 7/10
Will I return? No, too many options offering breakfast to come back.

Could anyone tell me how I make my small post resumes at my home page link to the entire blog post as the headers above the post resumes do as standard?
(my theme is F8 LITE)
Could anyone tell me how I make my small post resumes at my home page link to the entire blog post as the headers above the post resumes do as standard?
(my theme is F8 LITE)
I'm using F8 Lite on my latest site, http://www.gavinthorn.com, and came across this issue. The solution (for me) was to use a page of posts. It's quite involved though so wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you're doing.
If you choose to go this route you'll need to modify the "Page of Posts" code to use that from the index.php file, remembering to use $my_query where necessary.
You'll then find that this wil break the slideshow and single posts although this can be easily fixed by modifying the header.php, functions.php and the single.php files...
Look for the get_template_part() call and modify the preceeding line to include a check for is_front_page()
// Modified theme here - owing to us showing a page as a front page
// we need to verify we're on the front page rather than the home page
//if ( is_home() && $paged < 1 ) {
if ( ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) && $paged < 1 ) {
get_template_part( 'slideshow' );
Look for this code block and change first line to include is_front_page() as shown
if(is_home() || is_front_page()) {
$doc_ready_script .= 'jQuery("#slideshow-posts").cycle({
fx: "fade",
timeout: 4000,
prev: "#prev",
next: "#next",
pager: "#slideshow-nav"
Change line 16 to read
<?php get_the_image( array( 'custom_key' => array( 'slideshow' ), 'default_size' => 'full_size', 'width' => '950', 'height' => '425' ) ); ?>
Then create a category specifically for posts you wish to appear on the front page, enter this category ID into your page of posts script and change the settings for the site to use show your page as the front page.
That should be more or less it.
BTW - I'd strongly recommend making a back up of any files you're going to change before making the changes, just in case.
Thanks very much QT Software. Your solution worked perfectly on http://www.tigerleaf.co.uk which uses the F8 Lite theme.

My goal is to access my NAS from a PC, but NAS is not reachable.
Here is my network configuration:
Router 1: 192.168.2.1 : 255.255.255.0
Router 2: 192.168.1.1 : 255.255.255.0
NAS: 192.168.1.108 (in Network of Router 2)
PC Foo: 192.168.2.xy
So problem is that I can't get access from "PC Foo" (no Ping possible) to my NAS. All other PCs with IP 192.168.2.xy get access.
I'm not sure but is this a subneting-problem?
What can I do to get access, when I don't want to change the IPs?

Last Friday night, while assessing the President's inability to translate his legislative victories into political capital, Jonathan Alter said that he thought the problem was that the President is not just incapable but downright allergic to the kinds of soundbites that would translate his complicated policy proposals into something the average voter can understand.
