Post subject: Online dating - Has anyone tried it?
It's a dark and scary world, but has anyone ever tried online dating before?
I've shown this comic strip before in the art thread, but the strip pretty much sums up my experience in online dating.
Has anyone actually tried online dating before? If you have, did you have any success? Any fails? What's the best, or worst of online dating you've experienced?
For me, I tried online dating last year and I met a few girls, but of course nothing happened with any of 'em. Usually I either don't like them, they don't like me or the feeling is mutual. Recently, I thought I met someone awesome until I was told otherwise.
I do have some other really creepy stories (where I was victim) that surprisingly do not relate to online dating, but for now - what have you guys got?

I met my ex-girlfriend on OK Cupid while living in New York. It's by far the best service, insomuch as its completely free and allows you to message between users without any fees.
That being said, it did take me 8 dates to meet her, and I'll come back in a little while to tell the story of my first OkCupid date,...stay tuned.

Alright, here goes.
My first OkCupid date took place on the day of The Times Square OWS (Occupy Wall Street) protests. I had messaged, from what I perceived to be, a cute girl, and after a few polite exchanges about music and alcoholic drinks we decided that Saturday was a good day to meet up.
Prior to meeting her I met up with some college friends in Times Square to participate in the protest, which was a lot of fun. It was also during this time that she texted me the location of where we would meet (Bushwick) with one significant caveat…she would be there with her friends.
What the fuck? It's one thing for two consenting adults to meet informally for the first time with the polite intention to see if romantic compatibility exists. It's completely different to meet her AND HER FRIENDS. Not only does this disrupt the ambience of a cute romantic encounter, it forces me to interact/compete with her friends, who are all strangers. Mulling this over in my head I decided that the reason she would do this is for a sort of "back up", a kind of cushion that she could fall back on should the date go sour.
So what did I do?
I invited my friend Eric to go with me. Boom. Done. Awesome.
Now if you haven't lived in NYC, it isn't exactly a picnic to get to Bushwick from Times Square. The bar she suggested we meet at was Barcade, where I had been before, and it's basically an arcade for adults, complete with leaderboards for all the games. Good times.
Due to the capricious nature of NYC's subway system, we ended up being a half hour late, an experience which included us being stranded off the J train and befriending a guy who let us drink honey dew whiskey with him.
Eventually we make it to Barcade, and guess what?
She isn't there.
My first reaction was that "ah shit, we were late, we blew it".
I tried calling her a few times. No answer. In the meantime Eric and I are drinking shots and playing Tetris battles.
Before completely abandoning this plan, I decide to give her a final call. She answers…and tells me that they decided against going to Barcade, and she was going to let me know but apparently she didn't get reception.
This is NYC motherfucker, nicknamed Empire City, nicknamed Gotham, nicknamed goddamned nexus of the world. There is no way you can't get reception here. Something didn't smell right.
I ask her if she still wants to meet up. Surprisingly, she said yes. So in favor of not wasting any more time, Eric and I decide to cab it to an even more remote bar in the seedy underbelly of the unhip part of Bushwick—the part that doesn't have L train access.
When I get to the bar in question, I do a quick tour around the premises. I don't see her. Is this a fucking game? I send her a text message asking if she's there. She replies, yes. Confused, I ask her to meet me at the counter. Two seconds later she appears with her friends, and I'm super confused.
I'm super confused because the girl that claims to know me looks nothing, NOTHING like the girl in her OkCupid picture. The girl in the OkCupid profile picture is cute, has a nice face, and what appears to be a decent body. The girl that stares back at me has a face shaped like a horse's ass, buck-toothed like a donkey, and fat. And not fat in that curvy, bootylicious kinda way. Fat in that rectangular, thick kinda way.
We make our introductions and try a jab at some polite interlocution. Eric is bemused, because he knows what I'm thinking. Eric is not amused however, that all her friends are as ugly, or uglier than her. It's a no-win situation for both of us. We need an exit plan.
Soon enough, the girls all decide to have a smoke break. Though I'm a smoker myself, I decided not to join them, as I need to express my desire to GET THE FUCK OUT to Eric.
We wait 10 minutes for the girls to come back, and no sign of them. Out of curiosity and a desire to have a cigarette myself, Eric and I go outside..and they're gone! What the sincere fuck is going on over here. I was simultaneously swept with disgust and relief---disgust at her inability to communicate/be a decent human being, relieved that we can peace out.
It's currently 3:10 A.M, and it's nearing last call. Eric wants to go home, but I'm not through with this night. No way. I need to redeem this night. I need to have some actual fun. With a gut decision, I hail a cab and tell him to book it to Williamsburg. Eric and I plant ourselves in the immediate vicinity of 2 very attractive girls at one of our favorite bars. Seeing 2 other guys get rejected by them, we immediately pounce at the chance as the clock is ticking towards 3:30 A.M., a.k.a the time all bars close.
We try our best to be amicable, but as the bartended kicked everyone out, we had to forcibly bid them our adieus and cab it home. When in the cab the driver goes the wrong way, so we turn him around. Out of nowhere, Eric spots the 2 girls we were just speaking to, pulls down the window and yells "HEY GIRLS, WANT TO COME CAROUSE WITH US?"
The randomly decide to jump in the cab with us and invite us to go back to their place. Turns out, they lived some 300ft from the bar, so we pick up some beer from the local deli, and go up their apartment. We hung out for a while, and I'm getting closer to one of the girls, eventually leaning in for a kiss, which she reciprocates. This forces her friend to ask Eric "Why is your boyfriend making out with my friend?"
Eric is like…"what?"
Then the girl I just made out with confirms our suspicious, "yeah, we thought you were gay"
In unison, Eric and I deny this, and I continue making out with her friend. Eric then goes with the other girl to her bedroom, and we both get laid.
The next morning one of the girls hurriedly kicks us out because she is a drug dealer and her boss was coming to visit.
With big smiles on our faces, Eric and I grab some grub at Kellogg's diner, and head home.
TL;DR: Go on an OkCupid date. Date sucks. Get to an Apartment with 2 girls who think we're gay. End up sleeping with them anyway.
Protip and lesson of the story: Never use a weekend day to meet an online date. Weekends are for fun and no risks.

That's a great story, Mod-Chip. I'll put it on my wall.
I don't really have any dating experiences to speak of. I've met two people I knew from the internet: one was odd and awkward, and I ran away at the end; the other was great, but we're pretty sure he's the father of some classmates, and he seemed to have some family drama going on, so that friendship kind of died off.
I sprinkle sand into the waters of night. The grains burn as they fall, reminding me of another in times long passed away. I watched him even then as he fell, his face undefeated, his eyes still proud.

Ive used online dating. I met a nice girl down in Puerto Rico I chatted with on weekends. I got to see her when I went on vacation down there. She had just graduated medical school. Once I finish college I was thinking of maybe staying down there for awhile.
When I moved from Illinois to California, A person I had played Wow with for 6 years drove all the way to Illinois to pick me up and we drove all the way back. I lived with him for 2 years while I got acclimated to Chico California. When we would tell people the story of how I got there they looked at us like we were nuts. My Illinois friend thought he was going to kidnap me and rape me.
Nope, we made a lifelong friendship that started over the internet and had a amazing time.
Ive since then moved back to Illinois and into Missouri to finish college.

Some pretty crazy stories...
Mod-Chip, wow. They thought you were gay? Oh man. Good story though.
I haven't had that kind of uh, experience before. I remember once meeting one girl who seriously didn't look like her profile picture, and she just... wasn't anything at all like her profile. :/ Awkward.
Sourdeez - Yeah, I've made some great friends over the Internet, friends who I've actually yet to meet. I've known one fella who lives in England since I was fifteen years old, so ten years now. I haven't met him yet but I would seriously consider him one of my closest friends. He got married last year and invited me to his wedding, but uh... travelling from Australia to England for a wedding is a wee bit expensive.

once, or twice. each time a ridiculous result. Nothing professional either, like dating sites, more like a happenstance meeting online, then a get together. ridiculous result doesn't necessarily mean a bad result, just ridiculous.

Nah, it isn't MattAY. Although it should be, because I am confident that he would have a large collection of fine asian ladies.

Yes online dating a few times but I end up meeting crazy psychos. Given up on dating in general now for a while anyways. I think it's a good idea to talk online and find out like interests, but I would prefer to meet someone in person.

Fair enough there, good call.
I gave up on dating for a while too, about six months before I thought I'd give it another go. I I met one girl recently who I thought was really cool, cute and super cuddly, then she kinda just told me she feels I'm not ready for a serious relationship. I was pretty bummed about that. I was very tempted to give up again until I met a girl at a party last weekend. Hit it off well so, we'll see how that goes.
With online dating what I like to do is talk to the person over the messaging service (whatever the site uses) and if I think the conversation is going well, I drop them my mobile number. Leave the ball in their court. If they text or something, I like to try and talk to them over the phone (when we're both free) one or two times to see how conversation goes... for me personally, it makes meeting them in person a lot easier and less nerve racking.
In regards to "psychos" I've met a few... they always seem to be friends of friends. I try to be nice, friendly and polite to just about everyone I encounter. I think it gives off the wrong idea? Oh man I won't get into that. >_<

Yeah maybe that's my problem too. I'm just too polite to people and it gives them the wrong idea.
The first proper online date I did was last summer. Was a good looking Spanish guy living in London, good career. When we met up we went to Primerose hill, sounded like a good plan. To get some drinks and sit in the park. It was a beautiful day and everyone was out. As soon as I get out the station and turn I see him standing with his back to the wall, but really looked nothing like his photo and he must have put on about 15 stone. I had the urge to just turn and run back straight away but then he looked up and saw me and I smiled and walked over. Went to the shop and straight away he's speaking to me like his girlfriend and trying to hold my hand. He's that much taller than me that he keeps kissing my head and despite me being really distant and pushing him off he just kept on putting his arm around me. We walk up the hill and he's just about out of breath and took a breather before finding a place to sit. He then talks continuously for hours about himself. About how he's from gran canaria and its the best of the islands to visit and how he used to run a lot when he was younger and played football, but now he's busy with his job and gets lots of free food and drink with work promotional events, and how he sits at home and eats packets of biscuits and kitkats. He loves buying chocolate on sale. I didn't even get a chance to speak at all. I just sat there sipping my beer thinking how am I going to get out of this. Eventually I say I'm cold and we start walking and I say I really need to get home. He called me and messaged almost everyday and I tried to tell him in the nicest way possible that I'm not interested but he continued for a couple months. I decided to delete my dating profile for a while....
About 6 months later, Another guy I met up with, he was from Malaysia. It was good, decided to do a day trip to Windsor castle. I really had a good feeling about him. He was 29 and worked for the government, loved travelling. We spoke on the phone a few times and looked forward to meeting him. Throughout the day he did keep making bad comments about girls though. And how they just expect things. Mind, I paid my own way the whole day! I thought maybe he just had a bad relationship and thought I would like to continue talking to him anyways. We spoke everyday after, texting and calling. But when he would mention doing something and I would say, alright when? And he would go on about how he's doing this and that with his friends and family every Sunday so how about next week? And then next week would come around and it would be the next week. It was 3 weeks before I saw him again and he was only 3 stops away on the train. His lease was up on his house and moved to St. Albans for a little while til he found another place but that's missions away. Eventually I just got bored of waiting to meet up and him having no initiative
Just to share 2 stories of completely different personalities. And I agree with BBK, keep the dates to a week day. Weekends are too good to waste. Plus it keeps the date time to a minimum to just see if you are compatible first

That's pretty crappy! Sorry to hear about those :/. I mean the first guy, wow. That sounds terrible. I've had experiences like that before when the person not only looks absolutely nothing like their profile picture, but just... talks about themselves for the entire time. It's honestly the worst feeling ever when you're on a date and you're thinking to yourself "How the hell can I escape?"
That second guy, that sounds like a shame. He sounded like a pretty good fella. I find that strange that after the initial first date, you're still texting back and forth and stuff but he was making no effort to see you? That seems, I dunno, contradicting of himself, in a sense.
I'll try and nutshell my experiences of online dating.
-Met one girl who seemed really cool, but then never heard from her again. Sent her a text the next day to let her know I had fun, but yeah heard nothing so... I didn't persist. I wasn't quite sure what I did wrong there.
-Met this girl who was a little older than me (I'm twenty five, she was twenty nine). She was super nice, but I didn't see her as anything else. We kinda decided to stay friends but we've lost contact.
-Met one girl who... looked nothing like her profile picture and only talked about herself. Oh my God.
-This is the weird one. I never "met" this girl as on the day we were supposed to meet, she had to go down south for a family emergency. Almost every night she would call me. Hell, sometimes she'd call me while I was at work. Anyway, on the day she was supposed to come back, I never heard from her again. Weird huh?
-Pretty certain I met one girl who was a complete psycho... the date made me very uncomfortable as all she talked about where her ex's and stuff. It was... a little awkward.
And like you said in regards to being too polite, it's true. I know it's corny and cliche' to say but it's so true, politeness is so often mistaken nowadays as flirting. I try and be nice and polite to everyone and, well this is going to make me sound like a horrible human being - I've had some uh... very unappealing girls try and approach me, in a very forward manner. One time this one, super smelly and uh - unattractive lady literally tried to have her way with me after I had suffered a concussion and other minor injuries from a judo competition. I'll have to post that story another time... it's kinda funny but man it was not funny at the time.

Story of my life haha
It's a shame when someone just stops talking to you though. I can't help but take it personally. One guy I was talking to just stopped talking one day after a couple months. I found out from the friend that set us up a couple weeks later that he got back with his ex and now moved in with her... I guess it's better off it things don't work out so when you find the right person it will be special. I think I'm still just a hopeless romantic hoping that one day ill just be minding my own business walking around town and I trip and a handsome passerby catches my fall and I look up and lights shinning down and music playing and I'm like yep he's the one, and so starts a blossoming love haha....

Not to rip you off Dobby but that's a quote I use all the time too to sum up my dating life,
"Story of my life."
It is honestly a pain in the arse when people stop talking like that. Like you said, I also take it personally. I don't want to, I just do. Really, it'd be nice to just get a text message or something that says something like "I'm sorry I'm not interested but thanks anyway" or whatever. That would put my mind at ease. Like you said too, it's a kick in the balls when you've either been talking to them or hanging out for a while or something and then suddenly bam, you don't hear from 'em again.
That's what my friends tell me as well. It's probably better that it didn't work out, because that way you may find someone better for you that will work out and it'll make it the more special. In all honesty, I'm starting to think that won't happen for me and I'm thinking I should start buying an army of either cats or dogs, buy a walking stick and tell kids to get off my Goddamn lawn.
Lawl. I think most of us who are single try and picture just how we meet the "perfect person" for us. I don't have an idea or "image" and even if I did, I probably wouldn't realise it at the time because I am that oblivious when it comes to people trying to show interest in me.
...unless of course they literally try to jump on me and grope me while I am lying in a bed crippled and groggy. MUST USE ALL REMAINING STRENGTH TO FIGHT OFF THE BEAST.

Never tried online dating, but I'm still in college, so it never seemed like a necessary thing. I basically gave up on dating this year - I spent the first half of the year getting over my ex, and then spent the last half knowing I would be moving to NYC for grad school, and thus trying to have a relationship with someone at my undergrad (in Spokane, WA) was going to be a waste of time.
I'm definitely not the most social person in one on one situations - put me in a group of people and I'll be pretty outgoing, but as soon as I'm left by myself with a girl I don't know very well and am somewhat attracted to, I clam up. So really, I don't have high hopes for my dating future.

Aww man don't think like that just because your moving. One of the best relationships I ever had was during the last 4 months before I moved to California. The girl was awesome and we both knew I was leaving soon. I do regret not continuing the relationship but it was one of the best parts of my life. Id choose to do it again knowing full well how I feel now.

EH-Net Hits Milestone of 3000 Members
1. When a new member posts for the first time, it feels like members race to welcome them to the community and offer help. This makes it a very welcoming place.
2. Members of all experience levels are never made to feel like they're asking a stupid question. We're human and we can't be expected to know everything about every subject. That's why we're here, so I greatly appreciate the lack of flaming for newbie questions.
3. All members take to heart the name and intention of the site - the 'Ethical' Hacker Network. We could easily flame those who ask blatantly obvious questions and be done with it. But the EH-Net Community goes the extra step. If someone shows signs of either being part of or leaning towards the dark side, we not only tell them why their wrong, but try our best to bring them over to the good side. That's impressive.
Now it's your turn. Tell us why you joined, what you appreciate most about the community, and, of course, what we could do to make things better.
Many thanks to you all,
PS - Would it be too much to ask this to also be a call to action to spread the good word of EH-Net to those far and wide? Tell your friends, co-workers, classmates, other portals and forums... As most of you know, I know how to return a favor (he says with his index finger bouncing on his temple). Forgive yet another Godfather reference.

Dakini Sukha Vajra, widely known as Sera Khandro, wrote this commentary of an account by the great Dudjom Lingpa of visions he had of enlightened beings and the teachings he received from them regarding our perception of reality.
This book contains four Tibetan texts in translation. First, The Excellent Path to Liberation explains how to give our attention to the teachings, and how to ground our spiritual practice in harmonious relationships with others and the world at large. Second, Dudjom Lingpa's account of his visionary journey, Enlightenment without Meditation, teaches by example that as practitioners we should ask ourselves sincere questions concerning our perception of reality, and that we should not be content with superficial answers.
In the third book, Sera Khandro's commentary, she presents Dudjom Lingpa's work within two frameworks. She first clarifies the view on which the spiritual path is founded, the path of meditation; the ensuing conduct that reflects and enriches meditative experience; and the path's result—awakening and enlightenment. Next she illuminates the subtleties of the great perfection view, the four tantric bonds: nonexistence, a single nature, pervasive insubstantial evenness, and spontaneous presence.
This volume also includes a significant fourth text: a short autobiography of Sera Khandro, translated by Chatral Rinpoché's disciple-translator Christina Monson.

Journalists kidnapped in Libya should be released
New York, August 24, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on the kidnappers of four Italian journalists seized in Tripoli today to release them immediately.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

While sipping tea one morning and enjoying the expansive view of a water hole from my 25-foot-tall research tower, I could see a storm of epic proportions brewing.
From This Story
Related Content
My colleagues, students, volunteers and I were at Mushara, a remote water source in Namibia's Etosha National Park, to study the dynamics of an all-male society, bull elephant style. I'd been coming to this site for 19 years to study elephants, and the complexity of the bulls' relationships was becoming more and more striking to me.
Male elephants have a reputation as loners. But in Amboseli National Park in Kenya, where the longest-running studies on male elephants have been conducted, bulls have been observed to have a best friend with whom they associate for years. Another study, in Botswana, found that younger males seek out older males and learn social behaviors from them. In my previous field seasons at Mushara, I'd noticed that males had not just one close buddy but several, and that these large groups of males of mixed ages persisted for many years. Of the 150 bulls that we were monitoring, the group I was particularly interested in, which I called the "boys' club," comprised up to 15 individuals—a dominant bull and his entourage. Bulls of all ages appeared remarkably close, physically demonstrating their friendship.
Why was this group so large and its members so tight? What held them together? And how was dominance decided and maintained? Now, as I trained my binoculars at the water hole, I looked for answers to these questions, and witnessed a showdown.
Like many other animals, elephants form a strict hierarchy, which reduces conflicts over scarce resources such as water, food and mates. At Mushara, an artesian well provides the best water, which is funneled into a concrete trough—a remnant of an old cattle farm built before this area was incorporated into the park. The outflow of the well at the head of the trough, which has the cleanest, most palatable water and is equivalent to the head of a table, was clearly reserved for the top-ranking elephant—the one I referred to as the don.
As five members of the boys' club arrived for a drink, I quickly noticed that two young, low-ranking bulls weren't up to their usual antics. Jack and Spencer, as I called them, were agitated. They kept shifting their weight and seemed desperate for reassurance, with one or the other holding his trunk out tentatively, as if seeking comfort from a higher- ranking bull's ritualized trunk-to-mouth greeting.
Keith and Stoly, more senior bulls, ignored these attempts at engagement. They offered no reassuring gestures such as a trunk over a youngster's back, or an ear over a head or rear. Instead, they and the younger bulls seemed to be watching Greg, the don. And he was obviously in a foul temper.
Greg, about 40 years old, was distinguishable by two square notches out of the lower portion of his left ear. But there was something else, something visible from a long way off, that identified him. This guy had the confidence of a general—the way he held his head, his casual swagger. And for years now, whenever Greg strutted up to the water hole, the other bulls slowly backed away to allow him access.
When Greg settled in to drink, each bull in turn approached him with an outstretched, quivering trunk, dipping the tip into Greg's mouth as though kissing a human don's ring. After performing this ritual and seeing a placated Greg, each bull's shoulders seemed to relax and each slouched submissively away from Greg's preferred drinking spot.
It was a behavior that never failed to impress me—one of those reminders that human beings are not as unique in social complexity as we like to think. This culture was steeped in ritual.

2nd That Ti is Sexy - Seat tube diameter? Tire clearance? 650B? (I know that's s dirty word sorry)
I've been looking at a diet for my bike and Ti really fits the bill. The Fireline looks awesome, and now this. I'd be interested in a review between the two.
ps. I just took my Evo for a ride yesterday and it was AMAZING. Can't speak enough love about this bike. Honestly it's stupid how much fun you can have on a frame at this price point. I'll have to post up a review soon, but I've been waiting to get into some real mud first, and the wet season is just starting in UT.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I can help out working in the sewing machine if the other two gals, peggy and babeyruth do not wish to.
LOVE IT WHIGROSE!!!! Love it when inspiration finally hits us literally. It is looking good. Love the variety. I think that is the part that appeals to me the most.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
I think I have something I can live with now for my starter row. Mind you, none of the components are sewn together yet because I have to applique the three little sampler blocks so it all looks quite ragged. Today didn't see much time in my sewing room because dh and I were busy with winter preparations outside but tomorrow dh is helping our neighbor again and I anticipate being able to complete this row once and for all. Yea me.
Let me know if you think I should consider changing anything around or doing something different.
My best is the least I can do.
Hi whigrose!
I love those gorgeous colors..really beautiful. If I had to move something around, I would consider flipping the second line of flying geese to point towards the center, then it will lead the eyes back to the inside of your quilt and the beautiful sewing machine featured!
Looking forward to working on it!
That definitely works, when I did my applique for the dresden plates I thought of cutting the background into smaller sizes because they would be easier to work with than the whole row, but I decided not too since one long row with just one seam in the center was faster!
Great comments, thank you. I do intend to flip the FG on the right side. What you don't see is it is all one long strip that is partially hidden under the sewing machine block. I have to wait to see how everything lines up after I do my applique stitching on the three little blocks and join their components together before I cut into it.
Last night I flipped the HST over that are above the machine. Amazing how much color it put into the row.
I am another that plans on sending along some fabric with my row. I may also send the drawings for the remaining sampler blocks should anyone want to do anything with those.
What I don't want to do is stiffle anyone's creativity so no one is expected to use anything that comes in the packet.
I am so looking forward for the opportunity to work on a 'modern' quilt. Such clean colors and lines. I'm stoked waiting for it to come my way. Love what you've done.
My best is the least I can do.
Sure, I am doing my craft show and you get to have all the fun. Craft show went alright, sold one quilt, a runner, and possibly one of my more expensive ones. Yeah....
So now I get to start on my rr. I am thrilled.
Whigrose, I just love it and agree with babeyruth on her suggestions. What does it look if it is put on the top on that side? Just curious. So all of us are in agreement of working you machines in so we will enjoy it. Well, I have to get some things done at home here and get on the lonarm so will talk soon.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
Can you stand one more picture?
I have finally completed my R X R for this group. Everything is sewn, appliqued, trimmed and ready for packaging. Wahoo! Doing the happy dance here.
Now, to clean up what looks like a volcanic fabric eruption.
My best is the least I can do.
Oh yeah!!!! love this for sure. Going to have some fun here now. You did good girl. It is amazing how things come together sometimes.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma

Just wanted to get the word out to the people in the north georgia area with bee yards to be on the lookout. Apparently, some persons are "vaccuming" out bees from the hives while no one is around. One of the beekeepers from the Dahlonega, GA come home during the middle of the day to find the folks removing the bees from his hives. They got to 4 of them. The two people got away, but some information has been passed on to the authorities. Please if you see or hear about anything, please pass this on to the Lumpkin County Sheriffs Office 706.864.0414
Just be aware that this is happening.

Nevil Shed attends Jan. 13 premiere of 'Glory Road'
By Leigh Anne Gullett
Public Affairs Specialist
(Jan. 13, 2006)--UTSA's Nevil Shed, a member of the 1966 Texas Western Miners National Championship basketball team, will attend the local premier of "Glory Road," a Disney film about the team.
Nicknamed "The Shadow" during his Texas Western playing days, Shed will be at the Santikos Silverado 16 Theater at 7 p.m., Jan. 13 to sign autographs, followed by media availability at 7:15 p.m. and a screening of "Glory Road" at 7:35 p.m. He will have both the Glory Road trophy and memorabilia from the 1966 Miners championship squad.

A New York native, Shed has lived in San Antonio and worked at The University of Texas at San Antonio for the past 25 years. He currently is student program coordinator at the UTSA University Center.
The Disney movie, "Glory Road," opens in theaters nationwide Jan. 13 and tells the story of the 1966 Texas Western National Championship Men's Basketball squad.
Shed was an integral part of the champion Texas Western squad that became legendary when the Miners started an all-black lineup against an all-white lineup in the NCAA basketball finals -- a first in college basketball history.
The team members were recognized as pioneers throughout the country for opening doors to every college, university, classroom and arena, many of which had never before recruited black basketball players.

First of all thank you for a fantastic stay on your boat! Ben is a very carring and friendly host. Respected our privacy. Nice and clean. Excellent breakfast. Great location. Best regards, Christel & Christian - Denmark
We can recommend Ben and his houseboat most warmly!
The room lies wonderfully centrally and still quietly and is equipped with all what you need. Ben is a very likeable and attentive host. We have estimated his breakfast and his welcome snack very much. If one could also award 11 points: here they would be right. Thank you very much, Ben
It was a fantastic journey. We enjoyed our stay and Ben's houseboat was the best place to be. The breakfast was amazing. And watching little duck-babies and geese was a real pleasure. Ben was a lovely host and helped us out with many tips and we rent his bikes. They were very helpful to explore the city. Thanks to Ben, we even made a trip outside the city which was really nice.
We spent a lovely long weekend in March on Ben's houseboat. It's a perfect place to stay in Amsterdam - a bit away from the crowds and the hustle but still close enough to all the sights. The view from the window onto the canal is gorgeous (and so are the swans and ducks who come by during breakfast time).
Ben's a very nice and hospitable host: There were fresh flowers in the room when we arrived, the breakfast was delicious and Ben's tips how to get around were very valuable.
Thanks a lot for our hospitality, Ben! We'll definitely stay with you again if we visit Amsterdam once more.
We had a great stay in Amsterdam thanks to Ben ´s kindness and hospitality. The room is so cute and well situated just near a windmill. There are several bus and tramway lines very near to go to the station or the center really fast and easily. The houseboat is very pleasant, with all the facilities. The breakfast was delicious. Many thanks to Ben! We would love to come back!
Our stay was amazing! Ben received us very well, giving us the best breakfast in town and gave us the best tips to visit Amsterdam.
The houseboat is awsome, very nice and quiet location, always warmed and confortable, perfect for 2.
The city center is about 10 mn by bus or tram or 20 walking.
Highly recommend!
Amazing and very quiet place. Ben is a very nice host, receptive and attentive. You can rent bicycles and use very good tips from Ben to visit Amsterdam. The breakfast is just perfect. I highly recommend this place!
It was a pleasure to stay at Ben's Boat and Breakfast.
We really enjoyed our stay there. It made our short trip
even more unique.Thanks.
We were so pleased with our stay at Ben's boat & breakfast. It was a great experian and we Can strongly recommend to stay at his place. Ben is a fantastic host really nice and helpfull and the breakfast he's serving is delicious. The Room and toilet is very Nice and clean. It's not the last time that we will give Ben a visit. Best Regards Ole and Melanie from Denmark

Reviews of this property
Very nice and well connected. Luca very friendly, and extremely helpful tips to enjoy Rome. The only downside, the bathroom and kitchen are very small.
Zona muy agradable y bien comunicada. Luca muy amable, y sus consejos extremadamente útiles para disfrutar de Roma. La única pega, el baño y la cocina son muy pequeños.
Flora and Luca are very helpful and friendly, and very accomodating.
Housing is very well located in the heart of Monti district, steeped in a very nice neighborhood life: shops, bars, restaurants and plenty of entertainment !! Even too much, because the apartment is located on the street directly, without sidewalks and without double glazing, so it is VERY noisy: festive sounds, startup scooters and cars, discussions, difficult .... to sleep on Saturday night, even late !!! The apartment is very humid, a persistent smell persists in the lower room, and traces of moisture are present everywhere, the towels are struggling to dry, and the bathroom is tiny, which really spoils the charm of this apartment. The bed has a very comfortable mattress, but he whines at the slightest movement so much that we ended our stay on the sofa, comfortable incidentally.
So overall a feeling lackluster, .... damage.
Flora et Luca sont très disponibles et sympathiques, et très arrangeants.
Le logement est très bien situé en plein cœur du quartier Monti, où règne une très belle vie de quartier: commerces, bars, restaurants, et beaucoup d'animation!! Même trop, car l'appartement est situé sur la rue, directement, sans trottoir et sans double vitrage, ce qui fait qu'il est TRES bruyant: bruits de fête , de démarrage de scooters et voitures, discussions, ....difficile de dormir le samedi soir, même très tard!!! L'appartement est très humide, une odeur tenace persiste dans la pièce du bas, et des traces d'humidité sont présentes un peu partout, les serviettes ont du mal à sécher, et la salle d'eau est minuscule, ce qui gâche vraiment le charme de cet appartement. Le lit possède un matelas très confortable, mais il couine au moindre mouvement à tel point que nous avons fini notre séjour dans le canapé, confortable au demeurant.
Donc globalement un ressenti en demi-teinte, ....dommage.
A cozy, comfortable and super central apartment in a nice neighborhood and next to the Colosseum. Luca, the owner of the apartment, very friendly. A perfect place to spend a few days in Rome site.
Un apartamento muy acogedor, cómodo y super céntrico en un buen barrio y al lado del Coliseo. Luca, el propietario del apartamento, muy amable. Un sitio perfecto para pasar unos dias en Roma.
excellent apartment you for 2-4 persons. nice neighborhood. Everything almost loopafstamnd and subway around the corner. Many bars and restaurants nearby. nice city apartment.
prima appartement je voor 2-4 personen. leuke wijk. Alles bijna op loopafstamnd en metro om de hoek. Veel barretjes en restaurantjes in de buurt. leuk stadsappartement.
Nice apartment in a beautiful location, we have everything done on foot ... Many small, nice shops, ice cream parlor, restaurants etc. in the vicinity! Here you can find super live in the city.
Nettes Appartement in wunderbarer Lage: Wir haben alles zu Fuß erledigt... Viele kleine, schöne Läden, Eisdiele, Restaurants etc. in der Nähe! Hier kann man super in der Stadt leben.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment by the Pantheon was amazing! Beautiful layout (as shown in the pictures). It was roomy and very clean. This was a great location for easy walking to all the major sites. Also, extremely close by is a nice cafe and a very well stocked grocery store. The hosts, Flora & Luca, are quick to respond to any requests or questions. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this apartment to my friends.
The best thing is the location of the apartment, is very close to many tourist attractions and li spacious it is. Also note the friendliness and availability of Luca has been excellent. However, the hot water did not work well either in the kitchen or in an interior bathroom. The beds are very uncomfortable and the window insulation was really bad and hear much noise from the street and from 6-7 in the morning can not rest.
Lo mejor del apartamento es la ubicación, esta muy cerca de muchos puntos de interés turístico y li espacioso que es. También destacar la amabilidad y la disponibilidad de Luca que ha sido excelente. Sin embargo, el agua caliente no funcionaba bien ni en la cocina ni en un baño interior. Las camas son muy incómodas y el aislamiento de las ventanas era muy malo y se oía mucho el ruido de la calle y desde las 6-7 de la mañana no se puede descansar.
On the whole the apartment is just excellent, and we can indeed recommend it. It is cosy and beautifully furnished and offers a true home feeling. One of the best apartments we ever have rent in Italy. It is perfectly located on waking distance to all important sights in Rome. Within 3 min walk you also have a Coop supermarket, a cash machine, a drugstore, shopping area, plenty of restaurants and a taxi station. Still it is located on a backstreet with not too much noise day time, although occasionally the street was extremely noisy (a night-open outdoor restaurant in the same building, garbage collected at 1 a.m.(!))
However, there is also, as always when you rent an apartment, some potential for improvements: 1) The apartment lacks a microwave oven, which we think should to be mandatory in all apartments for rent. 2) With four beds we would have expected four bed lamps, but there is only one. 3) The washing machine needs to be repaired. The automatic propagation of program steps is out of order, so the machine can wash or rinse for hours. However, you can easily use the machine if you manually propagate the program, step by step every ~10 min. 4) A lamp shade in the living room is missing and just a nude bulb gives a very inhospitable illumination. 5) The kitchen is somewhat poorly equipped (grater missing, better knifes needed etc.), but this is a general issue with all Italian apartments we have rent.
All these small sources of annoyance could easily be fixed to a fairly small cost. Given the weekly price of the apartment we expect it will be done as soon as possible, and after that we are just happy to give the apartment our highest recommendations.
A few other comments which might be of interest for future potential guests: 1) Hot water: unlike other apartments you have unlimited amounts and can take a shower for hours, if you like. However, it is hardly possible to adjust the temperature, so it is either too hot or too cold. 2) Heating: works perfectly. Earlier we have frozen in Rome in early spring, but not in this apartment. 3) Accessibility for disabled: the elevator is extremely small (90x90 cm with an opening of 60 cm), so a full-size wheelchair will hardly fit. The apartment is also in two levels with the living room 30 cm above the rest of the apartment.
Finally, we would like to thank our host Luca for his excellent service on arrival.

text: One nice thing about TBHs is that you can inspect them with little interference to the hive, especially if you aren't doing a complete brood inspection. This is mostly due to the fact that you can leave their roof mostly intact. Inspect one bar and slide it over to the other bar and so on. So at any given time you only have so much exposed. In Vertical hives (both Lang and Warre) you lift the cover off and everybody is exposed. This is made worse if you remove a box. Everybody can be airborne in little time.

The long-anticipated sequel to the million-copy bestselling novel Wicked
Ten years after the publication of Wicked, beloved novelist Gregory Maguire returns at last to the land of Oz. There he introduces us to Liir, an adolescent boy last seen hiding in the shadows of the castle after Dorothy did in the Witch. Bruised, comatose, and left for dead in a gully, Liir is shattered in spirit as well as in form. But he is tended at the Cloister of Saint Glinda by the silent novice called Candle, who wills him back to life with her musical gifts.
What dark force left Liir in this condition? Is he really Elphaba's son? He has her broom and her cape -- but what of her powers? Can he find his supposed half-sister, Nor, last seen in the forbidding prison, Southstairs? Can he fulfill the last wishes of a dying princess? In an Oz that, since the Wizard's departure, is under new and dangerous management, can Liir keep his head down long enough to grow up?
For the countless fans who have been dazzled and entranced by Maguire's Oz, Son of a Witch is the rich reward they have awaited so long.
"Maguire is full of storytelling brio . . . his Oz is meticulously drawn."
-New York Times
"A tale that adroitly mixes drama, humor, and political satire into a well-knit examination of good and evil."
-Library Journal
"Maguire has done it again: Son of a Witch is as wicked as they come. . . . Thoroughly entertaining."
-Boston Globe
"Maguire's captivating, fully imagined world of horror and wonder illuminates the links between good and evil, retribution and forgiveness."
"As fantastical as a novel set in Oz should be."
-Entertainment Weekly
For Wicked:"I fell quickly and totally under the spell of this remarkable, wry, and fully realized story."
-—Wally Lamb, author of She's Come Undone and I Know This Much is True
-—John Updike
"Save a place on the shelf between Alice and The Hobbit—that spot is well deserved."

THE WOMAN–United States-2011
Directed by Lucky McKee
Written by Lucky McKee and Jack Ketchum
Based on the novel "The Woman" by Lucky McKee and Jack Ketchum
The Woman is a film about the thin line between the civilized and the uncivilized; between the decent and the depraved. There is a statement on the DVD box indicating that it was an official selection of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. I get a strong feeling that the audience attending its premiere were wondering about the truck that hit them. The Woman will shock you, it will even disgust you; but it will not leave you. It's been a few hours since I watched the film and I still can't get it out of my head. I don't think I ever will.
I've been watching movies for as far back as I can I remember and I am of the opinion that there has never been a character that I have hated more than that of Chris Cleek. It's not because of bad acting. Sean Bridges brings an Oscar worthy performance to the role of Cleek. It's not because of bad writing, either. The film is co-written by two of the most ingenious and twisted minds working in the horror genre today, author Jack Ketchum (Off Season, Offspring, The Girl Next Door) and director Lucky McKee (May, The Woods, Red). No, my hatred for Chris Cleek is because of the person that he is. To Cleek, women are slaves to fetch his coffee, an occasional place to put his penis and they are always there to slap around when they get out of line.
Cleek is a man so low that he would molest his teenage daughter. This is something that's never mentioned in the film, but it doesn't have to be. The knowledge of it festers throughout the course of this movie like a pus-filled wound ready to burst. Cleek's wife, played beautifully by McKee mainstay Angela Bettis, is but a punching bag to him; he says jump, she doesn't ask 'how high', she just does. His son, Brian, at 14 already displays the sociopathic, misogynistic tendencies of his father. When a girl bests him in a free throw contest, he congratulates her to her face, but then sticks gum in her hairbrush and plays the hero by helping her when she gets it stuck in her hair. Like Chris Cleek, he sees women as objects; but not only for his sexual satisfaction. They are for hurting, for torture. Just ask the one shackled in their storm cellar. That's what this movie is all about; the woman.
The Woman.
The Woman.
The book 'The Woman' will be released to coincide with the film.
Chris Cleek repeatedly uses the word "anophthalmia" in reference to one of his daughters. Unilateral anophthalmia is the congenital absence of one eye, and bilateral anophthalmia is the congenital absence of both eyes.

text: No I'm not getting rid of anything. I literally meant I just washed the truck. I also washed the bike too but it didn't stay clean too long after hitting the trails. I just ordered a 2" shackle drop to level the back out and should have pics up in a week or so? Let me know what you guys think! These is also the first pic that actually did the color of my bike justice.

Its been pretty cold here lately but we have had a few sunny days and for the last two or three I have been finding small clusters of dead or almost dead bees outside on the edge of the wooden platform my hives our one. Each group has about six to eight bees, with their heads together, not moving. If I get to them in time and scoop them up and warm them they revive and seem okay. Its like they are lost and cant find their hives but they find each other and try and cluster in the open for warmth.
Any ideas? I've never seen this before.

What are the requirements to become an adoptive parent?
There are some "cut in stone" requirements. Adoptive parents are asked to provide an adequate and loving home for an adopted child. An adoptive parent …
Who are children with special needs?
A "special needs child" is:
Children eligible for adoption come in all ages and races; males and females. Many of them are over the age of 6 years old. The majority of children that are available are between the ages of 11 to 16 and male. Another large group of children waiting for adoptive families are sibling groups, which may be as little 2 children or many more. Many of the available children do have medical or emotional special needs.
How long does it take to adopt a child?
Adoption can take time and is dependent on many variables. Most adoptive parents can meet all state requirements in 3 to 6 months. Once a child is identified their move with an adoptive family is based on the child's need to make a stable and lasting transition. The final decision always rests with the court.
How can a person get more information on adoption and available children?

oh yeah! 8) somebody flew in to "spike" the punch bowl! :lol: :lol: this should be alot of fun!
Nice oldie. Good thing you saved it, it looks like if it had sat any longer it would have been a wall hanger. That's some pretty gnarly pitting.
Once the forensics unit had finished their work at the site, the remains were sent to the laboratory to begin investigations to determine the true identity of the subject.
The headset is the first area of concentration.
Once opened up, the internal structures revealed interesting details which might be useful clues.
Some Details:
1. Bearings employed in top bearing race are .15625" and still enrobed in grease.
2. Bearings employed in bottom bearing race .09375" and rusted with at least two actually broken.
3. The clip over top of steerer tube indicates that expander bolted bar stem was not used.
4. Curved fork crown flows into fork blades seamlessly.
5. Axle mounting holes are not slotted for easy wheel removal.
We will continue to report points of interest as we progress in the hopes that someone might recognize the subject and contact us.
Not the only reason I've got to follow this, but it sums it up nicely.
Although a pretty rare sight these days, this type of bearing assembly was popular with some builders at around the turn of the 20th Century. Basically the bearing cups where inserted into the bottom bracket shell and then the bolts were tightened to prevent the cups from spinning or moving side-to-side. In some circumstances this would allow for some additional adjustment if necessary.
It is also apparent in this photo that only the left crank arm is secured to the spindle by one of those very often frozen and troublesome little cotter bolts.
Since the cotter has been soaking in liberal applications of MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil) for about two weeks, we are able to remove it with a special tool devised in the lab which greatly reduces the chance of buggering the whole thing up and rendering it no longer fit for service. We do not assume that replacements can readily be obtained.
We also take note of the leather dust shield positioned between the bearing cup and the adjuster cone which is also threaded onto the spindle.
Once the cotter is removed, a particularly unique and completely unexpected condition presents itself. The crank arm is not only affixed by cotter, it is also threaded onto the crank spindle with left hand threads cut into the spindle and crank arm! This must be a very costly and labor intensive detail. Someone intends to guarantee that this arm does not turn or loosen with use. This discovery is a "first" for us and we are so thankful that we decided not to use a big ol' rubber mallet on the crank arm to loosen up what we initially assumed to be some resistance due to rust. Indeed, by turning clockwise, it simply spins off the spindle as a nut will from a bolt. Any damage to these elements due to mishandling would definitely become a very serious hindrance when attempting to re-assemble the subject.
To date we have noted at least six distinguishing features of the subject and are still unable to develop theories as to the identity of the form before us.
We don´t know were it´s coming from, but could be possible to know were it´s going?
the anticipation has set in
The Plot Thickens
Luckily, the two cinch bolts on the bottom bracket shell were easily removed and remained intact.
Once the bolts had been removed, the bearing cups were easily removed by the usual fashion of lightly applying pressure from the opposite side of the bottom bracket shell forcing the cups out of the shell. With that done another mysterious clue presents itself. The inside of the shell has threads cut in on both sides and yet the cups are not threaded. Given our previous experience with the circumstances surrounding the crank arm assembly, we were puzzled by the lack of threads in the bearing cups but very happy to realize that we had not inadvertently attempted to force the cups, had they been threaded, from the shell which would have been catastrophic.
Q: Had these been replaced with newer, unthreaded cups? Was someone lazy or neglectful during the original build? Did the subject even have threaded cups originally?
Any information leading to the the true identity of the subject would be most appreciated.
The Pinch bolts indicate you could use a Eccentric Bottom Bracket. You would not need one since the drop outs are horizantal.
Only one remaining fixture requires removal. The left side chain adjuster is frozen into dropout and the head of the screw has been broken off. This most likely occurred during previous attempts to adjust or remove the screw. Again this piece has been marinating in MMO for some time and we hope that we might be able to extract it with a good grip of the good old vise-grips.
Well, I guess we weren't too surprised when the remaining portion of the screw broke off flush with the dropout. There had been a hint of movement but it really wasn't going anywhere.
Since then the screw has been drilled out and the hole tapped with 10-32 threads. Good as new.
The forensics people could only note a few more distinguishing marks and scars from old injuries which may turn out to be leads for investigators.
Firstly, the two holes located in the headtube indicate that there had been a headbadge affixed which probably displayed the identity of the original builder.
Next, a serial number, 14971, was discovered stamped into the right side of the seat lug.
Finally, a number of significant dents were found in the seat tube, right seat stay, and top tube which suggested a rough and tumble life.
Having pretty much satisfied ourselves that there remain no other obvious clues as to the identity of our stranger or how he came to this state of condition, we are now ready to begin the reconstruction. Surface preparation of the remains will be next.
This is one of the coolest build threads in RRBBO6! (IMO) The name is perfect. Where did the #438 come from. Shouldn't it be #14971 ? :wink:
Thanks for the note. The number stamped on frame might eventually lead to the actual identity but until then No.438 represents the number of bodies processed by this office.

Trouble With Character Skins.
Sorry if this is already an existing thread, but I'm having difficulties with some character skins and I was hoping someone could help me out. A while back I had to bring my PS3 in for repair and when I got it back, some of my progress had been deleted (I never did a backup). When I started playing online again, I had to download patch 1.17 which is when all the problems started. In the offline co-op mode, all of my Uncharted 3 default character skins were locked, I'm at level 25 (on the offline mode) so I should be able to buy Elena, Sully, and Chloe. However, next to the dollar sign, I get a blinking shopping cart. The blinking alternates between the dollar sign and the shopping cart. The weird thing is that the second player can use any character skin. It only doesn't work for first player.
I know this was a problem with patch 1.13, but was fixed with patch 1.14. However, when I got my console back, I didn't have the option to download patch 1.14. It just went straight to patch 1.17. In the multiplayer this isn't a problem, I can use any character I want.
I have a video if this helps any.

Re: Trouble With Character Skins.
Green dollar sign means it's unlocked, but you didn't buy it so there's that.
Offline's fun. That's the only way TSD and Teammate can be in the same place without TSD dying because apparently blindfire isn't common for new players and TSD has to aim the shotgun.
Re: Trouble With Character Skins.[ Edited ]
That's my problem though. I'm aware that the shopping cart means they're available in the PS store, but I don't want to purchase them as DLC. I have the in-game money and I'm the right rank, but I literally can't purchase them with in-game money. When I press "x" to purchase them it just makes a beeping noise. It sounds more like the game is telling me there's an error. The blinking is telling me that I have an option between the two, but it just doesn't let me purchase them. My only option is through DLC. I've had this game since it first came out, so I'm familiar with how the purchasing system works, but I just think it's weird that ever since I downloaded patch 1.17 everything's been messed up.
I have played online and it still doesn't work. It's only happening in the co-op mode, whether it's online or offline.

A Dispatch from the International AIDS Conference
July 27, 2012
Today's guest blog is from Nancy Bernstine, executive director of the National AIDS Housing Coalition.
Today the International AIDS Conference (IAC), which is being held in the U.S. for the first time in 22 years, is concluding.
This convening of 20,000 people from across the world gave us an opportunity to explore the global dimensions of housing for people with HIV-AIDS. The National AIDS Housing Coalition (NAHC) and our Canadian partners, the Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN), are pleased to have sponsored an affiliated independent event, the International Leadership Summit on Housing on July 21 at the World Bank's Preston Auditorium.
Housing remains the most critical need of people with HIV-AIDS living in the United States. The Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS program (HOPWA) serves about 60,000 households, but according to grantee reports, more than 145,000 people who are in need of housing assistance still go unserved.
Research on housing and people living with HIV-AIDS (much of which has been presented through the Housing and HIV-AIDS Research Summit series) documents improved health care outcomes for people with HIV-AIDS who are challenged by poverty, homelessness and stigma. Research also has shown that housing assistance can be a cost-effective health care intervention for people with HIV-AIDS, with a cost "per quality-adjusted life year" in the same range as such widely accepted health care practices as mammography and renal dialysis.
The purpose of our summit was to bring together, from every continent, researchers, policy makers, service providers and people living with HIV-AIDS, to share and discuss research findings and policy initiatives that address the global challenges presented by housing instability. The attendance of many participants from Kenya, Nigeria, Haiti, India , and Ecuador the Philippines was made possible by scholarships awarded by the NAHC.
Summit keynote speakers included Michel Sidibé, executive director of UNAIDS, and Paul Delay, deputy director, as well as Stephen Lewis, cofounder and co-director of AIDS-Free World. All speakers acknowledged the importance of housing in the global response to the epidemic, and several suggested strategies for more fully integrating housing in the millennium goals now being formulated by the United Nations to guide the global response to HIV after 2015.
Summit leaders focused on the roles of poverty, housing insecurity and other social drivers of the ongoing AIDS crisis. Topics included housing status as a predictor of HIV risk; treatment and mortality; rights-based advocacy for housing; as well as the provision of housing for everyone, including orphans, drug-users and sex workers.
The goal of the Housing Summit was to build upon the work of six previous Research Summits to construct a platform that invites the development of research; internationalizes the research and policy agenda; and develops new partners and enhanced support for structural HIV prevention and care interventions in a global context. More information from the Summit will be posted to the permanent website www.hivhousingsummit.org.
The next Summit is scheduled for Montreal in September 2013.


text: 1995 GMC Suburban K2500 454......had a trans line leaking while I was driving and I didn't know it until I heard and felt a loud clunk, and suddenly lost 4th gear. I pulled over and discovered that the line was leaking and had it towed home. Next day I repaired the line and refilled the trans, all of the gears work fine, and the shifting is smooth, and it drives fine, but it no longer goes into 4th, the torque converter will lock up for about a second or two, then unlock around 45mph. I'm fearing that the loss of fluid resulted in 4th gear letting go.....any suggestions? or should I just look into a rebuild or a new trans? Thanks, Scott
