1983-1988 Ranger beams are forged and look like normal I beams, yet are still offset lengths . only draw back to them is the brakes/ spindles are inferior to the 1989-1997 brakes and are not interchangable.. common 'upgrade' for Rangers is the cast '89-'97 beams or the DJM dream beams, which take use the '89-'97 spindles.. for this reason. '83-'88 beams are practically throw aways to the ranger guys.. every reason they don't like them is every reasion a hotrodder might want them.. the smaller brakes are better suited to a lighter vehicle. they look more traditional, and they can safely be bent for camber if more than 4* was needed. also we can engineer the drop into a frame kickup/ Z where as that is more complex with all the factory crossmembers to work around..
another thing to keep an eye out for is F-150 guys swapping front ends. Panther IFS is a bolt on for those trucks, and I know it is a welcomed swap in the lowering crowd
I'm considering using a Twin I Beam in my '48 Chev project. Mainly because it came with the '94 F150 I bought to get the fuellie 300 six. I have a Camaro clip, but I like the bigger brakes better on the F150 if using 15" wheels.
It looks to me that Ford compromised the steering linkage some when they designed it in the first place and this may be some of the cause for the tire wear complaints. The tie rods should originate from the axle beam pivot axis to avoid bump steer and changes in toe as ride height changes with vehicle load.
Camber changes with suspension height change are not so bad as long as the normal ride height camber is correct. Un-equal A Arm suspension also is designed to increase negative camber as the suspension is compressed. When the body rolls in cornering the camber changes relative to the body but stays fairly constant relative to the road. And actually when turning left you want some decrease in camber on the righjt side and increase on the left.
Another feature of this suspension not mentioned much is the "anti-dive" effect during breaking resulting from brake torque acting on the trailing arm which attempts to lift the chassis. This feature is lost and in fact reversed if you replace the trailing arms with parrallel radius rods.
Lowering the car with the '94 axles might be a challenge. I'm thinking I'll build special frame rail sections with windows so the axles pass through the rails instead of under. Will likely have to mount the engine higher than normal as I haven't figgured out how to window the crankshaft.
Wish me luck
I am sorry I can't imagine ANYTHING on that truck that I would want to stuff into that cool little Chevy. It is big and clumbsy and great for a big old truck. But to run it in that Chevy, I just don't see it.
One of the best rules to follow in car building is don't use something just because you have it!
Think about this, would you go LOOKING for one of these front ends for that car? If you didn't have it, would that be your CHOICE and start scouring craigslist and ebay and the local wreckers for one?
Don't use it just because you have it, that is almost always a bad choice.
Here's another car I found with twin I beam.

That truck is home made, you can do anything you want when you are building something from scratch, when you have to make it work where you have limitations that is a whole different story.
I haven't measured it, but I would say that the track on that twin I beam is at the very least four inches wider than the one in your Chevy.
What are your expectations with your Chevy? Taking on road trips, driving it on weekends around the town, daily driver? What are your expectations?
Winter is not kind to cars here, but the car will be used as a sunny day daily driver in the summer and for summer road trips such as to Bonneville.
If you plan on changing it so much sure you can make it work, I don't get it, but you could make it work.
I don't really understand what you have against the front ball bearings. All modern cars have ball bearings in those sealed units. And as for the brakes, there has to be some alternative to changing the whole front axle. Having said that, it is your ride and you are free to do as you want. I am with Brian though, I just don't understand.
I understand the front end is antiquated on that Chevy, without a doubt like my Rambler it is an odd beast with the knee action shocks and all. I just don't think the twin I beam is the way to go. I have been told that it isn't my car so I can't this little Chevy the way I would, it is his after all.
But it is such a nice car I just can't see doing much of anything to it. If it were all rebuilt it would drive just fine, I have put thousands of miles on those bearings and brakes and never thought a thing of it.
But alas, it's not my car! Crap, but honestly GFaRT, I still say that split I beam isn't for that car, there are much better ways to go. And you certainly don't need the GIANT brakes that truck has! I just don't get it, why would you need those GIANT brakes?
my opinion
If you want a Six, I would keep it , the trans and computer to run everything and buy bigger brakes for your camero clip. too much work to use the ford chassis parts.
Not to mention the bolt pattern on the wheels being the big ford pattern. That F-150 has offset beams which wouldn't work too easy. Cboy made them work, but on a home built with custom rails and ran no hood or fenders.
The stock suspension will hold the 300 I6 easy with some custom mounts. Could even find a column shift 3spd and hook it up to the stock column. No reason to over complicate things.
First, this car will not be kept all original. This isn't "vintage restorations.com". It is a very nice specimen to work with as there is no rust. One of my first cars back in 1964 was just like this, which I drove in stock form for 3 years.
The 216 babbit pounder splash lube six will run forever putting around town, but just does not cut it on the freeway at 75 or in mountain driving. The ball bearing front hubs are very susceptable to miss adjustment and don't last at all like Timken rollers. Likewise the original suspension and steering has a short wear life and gets sloppy so is not good for freeway cruising in comfort.
As for brakes, I've had an S10 Blazer and the brakes were a headache. The blazer brakes are 'bout the same size as the Camaro but the car is heavier and the wheels are larger. The result is they would often overheat and burn or warp the disks comin' down the mountain. The '48 Chev is a fair bit heavier than the Camaro and will have larger diameter tires (closer to the originals). So I value bigger brakes.
I realize that Mustang II and Camaro/Nova suspensions are most popular for old car upgrades. Both of these options were designed for lighter cars. So you can get aftermarket upgrades for brakes and dropped spindles etc. but I see more $$$ this way. I like factory junk yard parts that will do the same job. So maybe Ford LTD or Chev P/U or ??.
As for the twin I beam, I'm aware that there is a lot of controversy over this suspension. I've heard that on a van the tire wear was horrendous. I've also heard from a P/U owner that liked it better than his Chev. I figgur that a change in the ride height from loading the van in particular, where more of the load can be on the front axle will result in camber and toe-in change that will cause tire wear. So it may be important to be able to easily sdjust ride height such as with air bags or jacking screws over the springs like the stock car racers use. Also improvement to the steering geometry should help.
I have one other wrinkle to consider. I want to put twin turbos on the 300 six. So clearance between the front turbo and the upper A arm pivot might be an issue.
I'm still open on this. Am looking for the best junkyard solution that has good brakes and readily available replacement parts.

I understand this isn't restorations.com but we are car lovers in general (some of us) not just hot rod lovers. I personally get a kick out of a nice original stocker as much as a radical blown hot rod, they both are one in the same to me, not one bit of difference in my eyes. When I see such a nice stocker I just can't imagine making such big changes that's all.
You are well on your way and you sound knowledgeable, just build it as you wish and we still would like to see it's progress.

Justflyingin That's just darlin'!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Justflyingin That's just darlin'!
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
As I have caught up on reading from being MIA for a month. I have to say I see a lot of beautiful finished QAYG quilted projects. I'm going to wait until spring comes around again before I embark on any new QAYG techniques. But am always willing to share my experiences and knowledge. I hope you all enjoyed the several projects and techniques we covered this summer. And I thank everyone for their input and sharing as we learned to QAYG together.
Have an awesome day.
Have an awesome day!
Today I finished my State Star Quilt. I've had my blocks finished for a while but couldn't decide how to put them all together. I used the Quilt As You Go Block Method & am very happy with the results. I SID in most of the blocks & around the sashing. It is a very heavy quilt so I know it will keep us warm this winter. Here are pictures of the front & back of it.
Thank you Jenniky for starting this Thread. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the Spring!
Patricia Faye
{iggle} I think I like the back better {bwahahahaha} - you did a great job, Patricia!!
Liz / Calgary
Jen - Take your time, we will wait patiently for ya ta pick this back up. We aren't goin' anywhere.
Patricia - that is lovely!
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
You gals' projects are turning out soooo pretty! Patricia Faye, your star quilt is a stunner! I only made the first dozen or so...I'm so behind!
Jen, thanks for all your hard work...now on to some holiday projects, huh?
Patricia--very pretty quilt. I like the combination of the light and dark backgounds. I have been following the 50 stars thread on and off.
Patricia, I think your stars are beautiful!
Patricia - beautiful quilt. Wasn't it fun creating the back too? I love that part of QAYG creativity.
Jenniky - you take whatever time you need. I, personally, appreciate your hard work by presenting these tutorials. Maybe I can actually get some quilts made while waiting for your next technique LOL
Life's More Fun with a Doxie !!
Have a Great Day !

Reviews of this property
Awful! This apartment is managed by Interhome agency, and there is one surprise provided by them - cleaning fee. Then you are choosing a room you do not see any mentions about addition costs - only after reservation. We realized that we had to pay extra 66 EUR after getting booking confirmation.
It is a little bit unpleasantly, but then we came there we saw an absolutely dirty apartment - all the surfaces was covered with dust. And this is is AFTER 66 EUR cleaning! We spent a half oh a day to clean everything by ourselves.
More than that - there was not any blankets there. We asked a charwoman to bring us at least one, she promised to come with them in the evening but did not come and did not bring any.
We was needed to sleep under thin cover for sofa, and it was quite cold.
After all this they took money for cleaning from my credit card without my agreement and did not answer my mails with photos of dust in their apartment.
Don't book anything from Interhome!
Reviews for this host's other properties
The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!

Brand New: Arbor Roundhouse, Ride RX Bindings, Ride Focus Crew Boa Boots for sale!
Hi guys, I have a new baby at home and I'm realizing that I should put my snowboard dreams on hold for a while. I built up my dream setup last year, and never got a chance to use it. Better yet, I had the board professionally waxed at my local shop, so it's even better than new. So here's what I'm selling. The stuff is seriously sick, the board is gorgeous and the ultimate if you want to minimize toe drag. The bindings and boots just have a ton of features that will complement all types of riding. The boots are still in the box, and I may have the box for the bindings, which are currently mounted on the board.
-Arbor Roundhouse- 159 MSRP $545, selling for $325.
-Ride RX Bindings- Large MSRP $200, selling for $125.
-Ride Focus Crew Boa Boots- Mens 11 MSRP $280, selling for $150.
This gear is located in Portland Oregon, but I also travel up to Seattle and Bellingham to visit family. So if you live somewhere near I-5, delivery may be an option. I'm a 27 year old family man with over 10 years of eBay feedback as well as flawless reputations on other forums. PM me or post contact info and I'll be in touch.
I may be interested in trades with prosumer video gear or pro espresso equipment.

APCNews 104 – Net neutrality in Peru, Congo telecoms reform
APCNews – July 16 2009 – Year X Issue 104
The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
The hot issue in Peru at the moment is the future of the internet: will it be open and available to everyone or will big companies get their way and start developing a second "premium" layer only accessible to those who can pay for it? The situation in Peru and neighbouring Andean countries following twenty years of unbridled free-market policies in the internet and telephone sectors are the subjects of a new series of reports from APC. Meanwhile on July 12, the Congolese lined up to vote for their next leader, hoping for a reform in the telecommunications sector after more than a decade of unsuccessful liberalisation and privatisation policies and the virtual collapse of services.
— NEWS —Broadband in the Andes: Alternatives to the free-market model
MONTEVIDEO (CILAC) – The Andean region has some of the lowest fixed telephone line, mobile telephony and broadband penetration rates of all Latin America, the continent with the starkest economic disparities in the world. In the 90s, Andean countries adopted new liberalisation and privatisation policies in order to attain universal access. Almost 20 years later, these promises have not been fulfilled. APC studied each country through national reports in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela in order to understand this failure. As the State in countries like Venezuela and Ecuador has begun to play a more pro-active role, the research also analyses their effectiveness and the opportunities and challenges of this renewed involvement.
New presidential term, new hope for better telecoms in the Congo?
CALGARY (LC for APCNews) – On July 12 2009, the Congolese decided on their leader for the next seven years. In a country where the telephone system is barely functional and 97% of the population can not access the internet, a reform in the telecommunications sector could lead to renewed interest in the country by investors, which would boost the country's economy. However, it has been difficult to implement a coherent ICT policy in the country so far. Will the new presidential term that is about to begin bring successful reforms to the sector? APC looks at the state of ICT policy in the country and the road ahead.
ICTs and minorities: Deaf students no longer excluded from IT
MERIDA (Lourdes Pietrosemoli for EsLaRed) – There aren't that many options for the deaf in Venezuela, and those who do have full time employment often find it difficult to take time off for other activities like professional courses. But the Cisco Networking Academy found a way to train four men and two women who can not hear, on IT Essentials. This course, an initiative by APC member EsLaRed, was given in Venezuelan sign language and was a great success – not only to those who gained the new skills, but also to the project creators, who believe there is potential to apply the project in other communities worldwide.

If you don't have good marketing habits it's very easy to get excited and motivated for a short time whenever you come across brand new marketing ideas.
You try them for a short period of time and then you stop using them.
And within a few weeks you are right back to where you were before.
The secret is to make these new ideas things that you do automatically by habit.
Here are some simple ways to create good marketing habits.
Make the habit easy to do:
Over the last 34 years I have done extremely well in sales by sending out a small number of handwritten thank you cards each work day in my business.
I rarely send out less than 4 a day and often it is higher than this.
In my Day Timer each day I put six blank thank you cards and six pre-stamped envelopes. I also have with me at least 10 names and mailing addresses of people that I could potentially send a thank you card out to.
This could be in the form of some business cards, a print out from my computer, a message on my phone and so on.
I make sure that during each workday I address at least four of these envelopes and write four short hand written messages on the thank you cards. I then mail the thank you cards that work day. The total time to do this is ten minutes a day or about 2 minutes for each thank you card. I also make sure I arrive early for most face to face appointments. This usually gives me time to not only think about the meeting but write a thank you card if I want to as well.
By having the thank you cards on hand, with pre stamped envelopes and details of people I can send these to I have made the whole process very easy to do.
Start early in the day:
One of my personal goals is to write a certain number of articles, special reports and programmes on marketing each year.
I make sure that each day one of the first things I do is sit at my computer and write a page or more of marketing ideas. This takes around 15 minutes to do. One page a day is over 300 pages a year which is the size of a book!
To start with, I set my alarm clock for 15 minutes earlier and after a month I was in the habit of getting up earlier and writing my page or more of marketing material.
Make it convenient:
A few years ago I had the habit of losing my keys at home and wasting time looking for them. My solution was to buy a really nice key holder that I screwed to the garage wall where I parked my car. And all I did every time I got out of my car was put my keys on this key holder. The end result is I always knew where my car keys were.
Have simple reminders
A salesperson I met explained how he created the habit of asking three people each day for referrals. He put three coins in his left hand trouser pocket. Whenever he asked a person for a referral he would move one coin to his right hand trouser pocket. Every time he put his hands in his pocket he was reminded how many people he still had to ask for referrals.
When you have good marketing habits you'll be surprised at the good results these create for you.
"Good habits, once established are just as hard to break as are bad habits"
Robert Puller
Action Exercise:
What marketing habits would it be helpful for you to start doing on a regular basis? How can you make them easy or more convenient to do?

More work today -- some of that code is rather hairy to go through... *sigh* Why can't people do more design before plunging into coding frenzies?
Bills, bills, bills...
So it looks like I'm going to summer camp later this month. Woo! Work has finally started, _and_ I got my first paycheck today. Fun fun fun :) I can pay rent now.
Bah! I had to reinstall my workstation today -- what a pain. So I didn't get much work done. I did go to the little mini-class on "code dropping". It surprised me a bit -- apparently IBM is still using quite old technology. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." They are, however, finally re-evaluating their software design strategy. I've arrived at a good time, apparently. I talked with the main guy for design process, and he was quite receptive to my ideas. :) :)
Meanwhile, life goes on. I might actually be going to a summer camp in August. I need to remember to ask my boss about it though. I forgot to ask him today. I'm sure it won't be a problem, but you can't be too careful.
I also found out that I don't get my first paycheck until 3/14. *sigh* Money is evil, I swear it.
Oh, wow... that was an absolute blast! I have a list of more than 10 new friends I met at the convention... not to mention the parties, events, panels, _games_ (oh, there were lots of games played). Apparently attendance was almost 1,500 people, making this the largest convention of its type in the nation (if not the world). The staff was stretched to its limit -- so I've volunteered to help next year. We'll see what happens :)
In other news, my mobile phone got lost :( I have to get a new one now. So if you're trying to reach me, leave a message on the phone's voicemail and I'll get back to you ASAP!
Tomorrow I leave for a furry convention in Philadelphia (AnthroCon). I'm quite excited. Last time I went was in '99, and I had an absolute blast. Thankfully this class I'm taking at work means that I don't actually have to take 3 days off (Thu, Fri, Mon), only one. Yay! Now I have to do my laundry...
About once a month -- I suppose I post a diary entry as often as I look in here. Maybe I should add this diary page to my daily set of links.
I've started at IBM... quite nice, really. I had 2 days of orientation, 1 day of setting up (not finished yet), and now I have class all week. And the class was designed for support people, so it's an absolute breeze for us. I just hate having to get up for 9am.
Here's hoping that the squeeze in the industry doesn't put me out of a job anytime soon.
Gabber 0.8.4 is quite nice (especially with the PGP fixes in place). I especially like the little status thingy that appears in the window. (I use windowmaker, so I don't get a docklet. I just make the status thing a floater. Gotta love gtk.)
Had a hard drive crash just over a week ago. Data recovery told me it was unrecoverable. That sucks. I shipped it to IBM, and UPS says it's delivered, but their web site says it's not received. I hate this stuff. Last time I sent a drive back for warranty replacement, I never heard from the company again.
My, nothing since May. Well, since then I've become a Debian Developer, taking over maintenance of acl2 (not yet released as a package), GNU Common Lisp, jaxml and scanerrlog, and jbofihe and lojban-common (for the logical language "lojban").
Mostly I've been busy trying to reconstruct something of a social life and getting through this one last history course to get my degree. There's only a few days left! Yay!
Once done with the degree, I will be working (unless something goes terribly wrong) for IBM, in their AIX group. Should be interesting, since I've always like operating systems work. Sufficiently complex without being inane. (Of course, that's a terrible way to put it.)
Otherwise, I've been looking at Freenet and Mojo Nation again. I've written a mostly-working freenet client-only node for the 0.3 stuff, although it's woefully short of a full node. Needs a bit of redesign. As soon as the Mojo Nation people stop the daily protocol changes, I'll make a version of that too. We've had some interesting conversations about the protocol.
tmlm, of course, has gone nowhere. I'm still not sure if I'll actually do anything with it, or if I'll just contribute the major modules (MTP.py and Mail.py) to the python project itself and let the rest go. If anyone wants to help out with tmlm, please tell me!
Other projects I have sitting around include:
I also updated some of my project involvment stuff here on advogato.
Well, CVS has been up for a while. Looking at the log stats, it seems many people are interested, but nobody actually emails me! I wish someone would... The snapshot is available, not that I change much nowadays.
Well, I finally got back to working on tmlm. It's located at SourceForge if you want to take a look. Feel free to join up! As soon as they get the cvs, etc. up you'll be able to download the code too. *grin*

Harper to Obama: I've got plenty of buyers for our oil
posted at 10:45 am on December 21, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
Canada has patiently waited for Americans to help themselves improve our energy policy by installing a pipeline from Canada's oil sands to our refineries in the Gulf of Mexico, but this week Prime Minister Stephen Harper signaled that their patience has limits. Speaking to CTV, Harper reminded the US that they have a very thirsty China as a potential customer, too:
Canada could sell its oil to China and other overseas markets with or without approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline in the United States, says Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
In a year-end television interview, Harper indicated he had doubts the $7-billion pipeline would receive political approval from U.S. President Barack Obama, and that Canada should be looking outside the United States for markets.
"I am very serious about selling our oil off this continent, selling our energy products off to Asia. I think we have to do that," Harper said in the Monday interview with CTV National News.
Harper's comments were released a day after the White House sent signals it might kill TransCanada's oil sands pipeline if it is forced to make a decision on the project in 60 days, saying there wasn't sufficient time to complete a new environmental review.
Clearly, Harper isn't enamored with Barack Obama's stalling on the Keystone XL pipeline. Kelly McParland got the same impression, and writes at the National Post that Harper kept it friendly but made no mistake about playing political and economic hardball if Obama continues to stall:
Stephen Harper sent a none-too-subtle shot across the bow of our American friends and allies Monday when he indicated he's dead keen on selling Canadian oil to buyers in Asia. He didn't put it in so many words, but he was telling Washington this: "You don't want our oil, no problem. We've got lots of markets across the Pacific where we don't have to beg to get a sale."
It was a timely message and a good one for the Prime Minister to send. There is no need to be rude to the U.S., which is and always will be Canada's best market. But there's also no need to sit around and wait for the political circus in Washington to pause long enough to recognize the attractiveness of the opportunity Canada is offering. Given the state of absurdity that has the U.S. capital in its grip, there's no telling how long that could take.
Of course, the compromise in the Senate over the payroll tax "holiday" would have solved the Keystone XL issue, or at least forced Obama to bite the bullet and make a decision on it. Unfortunately, the House GOP has thrown that solution into doubt with its rebuke of their GOP colleagues in the Senate this week. McParland aces the description of the standoff:
The ins and outs are too complex to get into, but it comes down to this: President Barack Obama wants to extend a tax break he introduced to offset the effects of the recession. Despite supporting tax cuts, Republicans don't want him to get credit for this one. So they're opposing the extension, even though they support it. In search of a compromise, the Senate voted on the weekend to extend the break for just two months, meaning everyone could go home for Christmas and renew the battle later. But Republicans in the House couldn't bring themselves to accept the deal approved by Republicans in the Senate, insisting the extension should be for a full year, not just two months. But rather than vote down the deal — which would let Obama blame Republicans for refusing a tax cut, they simply refused to vote at all. The just cancelled a vote scheduled for Monday, and did nothing at all. Nice work, guys. Another vote was held Tuesday, which led to a House demand for negotiations, but the Senate has already left town.
Meanwhile, China is growing thirstier, and Canada grows impatient to sell its bountiful oil to someone who really wants it. Maybe everyone should concentrate on the real economic benefits of the Keystone XL pipeline instead of the illusory differences between a 2- and 12-month extension of a tax holiday that produced no economic stimulus at all over the past year.

Bypass bluecoat web security
I'm just a newbie and blue coat web security is blocking my freedom to learn.
Is there any working way to bypass it?
If there is already a post showing it please be patient and tell me where to find it.
Ask if members have links, can share or create tutorials on the subject of your choice. Please be specific. As an example, please don't ask, "I'm taking exam 'x.' Can someone post a tutorial on how to pass it?" Also, these are just requests of people's spare time, so be patient.

Having shed its 80s yuppie cliche, Beamer has a lot to celebrate
When BMW New Zealand set up shop in 1983, it was a very different world. The chemically fortified comedy hair and the, er, stylish clothes didn't exactly help the situation. At the top of the 80s heap, at least until the brutal takedown of '87, was the yuppie, rabid social climbers with empires built on complicated-sounding things on bits of paper that in many cases were worth about as much the paper they were written on. And the yuppies, resplendent in their white pants and pastel Tubbs shirts, really, really liked BMWs.
The very first BMW to be officially imported into New Zealand was not by the company itself, but via Ross Jensen's Remuera automotive company in 1967 - a little 1602. It started to build a reputation around motorsport with some of the trickier models, building a following but still very niche, until Bayerische Motoren Werke AG came here with far loftier ambitions.
BMW timed its '83 arrival extremely well and quite badly, depending how you look at it. The brand loved the 1980s in New Zealand - it was new, shiny and had features that the Falcons, Commodores and their British Leyland forebears didn't, and pub legend said they cost unheard of sums to fix, service or buy and they mainly became the domain of the dude in white shoes with a sweater draped over his shoulders.
And then 1987 happened. There were some great car deals to be had for those who escaped unscathed, and BMW quickly shed its yuppie stereotyping and became a solid contributor to the Kiwi car sales ledger.
The brand globally topped 1.5 million vehicles - a record by around 200,000 - and had a huge year in this country last year. It become the top premium brand as long-serving BMW managing director Mark Gilbert retired.
To celebrate its successes, and to punctuate its third decade in this country in full force, a handful of specced-up models have been created wearing Edition 30 badging. There's the 116i, 320i or 320d being offered with hugely-inflated specs with only a slight price increase.
For a hundred bucks, there's $11,200 worth of goodies loaded, including head-up display (where speed and other information is projected in front of the windscreen), extended Bluetooth system with audio streaming as well as hands free, higher-spec navigation, bi-xenon headlights, sports seats, a spoiler and some fancy wheels.
The 3 Series' birthday treatment includes a tasteful black bootlip spoiler, 18-inch rims, rear-view camera and other similar upgrades to the 1 Series, over $12,000 worth of bits for around a grand extra. The petrol-powered 320i and impressively frugal 320d are both stickered at $75,900.
Both 3 and 1 Series consistently pick up awards, and with very good reason. The standard spec and control of driving dynamics that they offer is at the cutting edge of passenger car technology.
After driving the 1 and 3 over the summer, they were a nice reminder of just how far these cars have come. The technical advances made in recent years, especially around materials, weight and refinement, mean that they're always an engaging drive, the 3 Series allowing sport modes to be selected that free up traction control for a more spirited drive or can be tapped back to EfficientDynamics eco mode to save some fluffy bunnies.
The power and torque delivery from these engines put them in the same ballpark as decent six-pots of five years ago, and with a relatively light thirst. Add thousands of bucks worth of cosmetic, tech and safety upgrades for not much over the base model prices essentially means top-spec options for low-spec price.
At 30, BMW New Zealand's beancounters already seem to be suffering some sort of mid-life crisis. The best advice is to do what we all do when someone "celebrates" a milestone like this, paint on a grin and wish them a Happy Birthday, and earnestly reassure them that life begins at 30, congratulations.

1. What's it about?
The majority of the movie takes place in the month of January 1865, as Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) tries to push through the 13th Amendment, which will abolish slavery in the U.S. It's a bit of a race against the clock as he wants it done before the Civil War ends so that the Confederate states will have to accept abolition in order to rejoin the Union. In order to achieve this, he needs the votes of all Republican Congressmen and at least 20 Democratic members of the House; his strategy is to get these votes from outgoing members who have lost their re-election bids to Republicans. His Secretary of State (David Strathairn) recruits three disreputable operatives (Tim Blake Nelson, John Hawkes, and James Spader) to serve as prototypical lobbyists, offering the "lame duck" Democratic congressmen plum political appointments in exchange for their votes. Meanwhile, Lincoln is grappling with family turmoil; his wife Mary (Sally Field) is still grieving the death by typhus of their son William three years earlier and Lincoln fears for her sanity, while at the same time he must deal with eldest son Robert's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) growing anger and resentment at being prevented from enlisting in the Union army.
2. Should I take my kids?
Not the younger ones. Kids under fifth or sixth grade will likely be bored by it, as the bulk of the film is a lot of talk and no physical action, and the one action scene, a battle sequence that rivals the director's Saving Private Ryan for ferocity, is savage and brutal. There's also a bit of foul language, including a hilarious example of Abe's legendary stories, this one an off-color anecdote concerning Ethan Allen and a portrait of George Washington. The performances are brilliant (Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field are going home with Oscars, no question), the script is lyrical and poetic and a joy to listen to if you have any fondness for the English language, well-written and spoken by people who know how, and the ramifications of this period are still with us today, so there's a lot we can learn and apply. If you have a bright kid who loves history, has studied the Civil War in school and wants to know more about Abraham Lincoln, by all means bring them. For other kids, find somebody to take them to the next theater at the multiplex to see Wreck-It Ralph while you enjoy Lincoln. Continue Reading "10 Things Parents Should Know About Lincoln" »

With every new YouTube celebrity or social network gaffe, those of us paying attention to the Internet gain a little more experience. We follow models of success, and we learn from our mistakes and those of others. While most parents have digitally documented several chapters of their lives — college, dating, jobs, kids — that provide ample opportunities to learn, the Next Generation is still getting exposed to the basics.
Announced during National Cyber Security Awareness Month in October, Everloop — a social media site for kids under 13 — teamed up with security technology company McAfee to offer ongoing education on Internet Safety. Through McAfee's series of educational seminars, the partnership hopes to reach more than 50,000 school children by 2013, with Everloop providing an online space to carry on conversations about safety and practice their new skills.
"Just as we learned to look both ways before crossing the street, we want children to learn to make smart choices when using the Internet," says McAfee Senior Vice President of Global External Affairs, Michael Busselen. The McAfee Cares program mobilizes employees to go into classrooms to teach kids about positive steps they can take to use their digital devices safely. Volunteers craft presentations to target both single classrooms and school-wide assemblies, with messages for both parents and kids.

You might notice something new in the next few years as you watch Disney programs: Starting in 2015, there won't be any candy, sugary-cereal or fast-food commercials aimed at kids.
The Walt Disney Company on Tuesday became the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites. It hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices.
First Lady Michelle Obama called it a "game changer" that is sure to send a message to the rest of the children's-entertainment industry. "Just a few years ago, if you had told me or any other mom or dad in America that our kids wouldn't see a single ad for junk food while they watched their favorite cartoons on a major TV network, we wouldn't have believed you," said the First Lady, who heads a campaign to help stop child obesity.
The ban would apply to Disney XD and Saturday-morning children's programming on Disney-owned ABC stations, as well as Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. In addition, Disney plans to make changes to its kids' menus at theme parks and resorts. Fast-food options will be replaced with healthier choices, such as smoothies, apples, vegetables and yogurt.
What's Out?
In addition to candy bars and fast-food meals, other foods that don't meet Disney's nutritional standards will be banned from the company's kid-targeted media. Any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving will be off the air. There will be no ads for full meals of more than 600 calories. Juices with high levels of sugar and foods with too much sodium will also be pulled.
Even though many fast-food chains and food companies offer healthier options, like apples and salads, Disney said it could still deny the companies' ads. Leslie Goodman, Disney's senior vice president of corporate citizenship, said a company that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy options.
Nutritional Trend
Disney isn't the only one pushing away unhealthy foods. Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters, restaurants and convenience stores in the Big Apple. He says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity.
Getting rid of junk-food ads could make it easier to keep a family on a healthy diet, says Nadine Haskell, a mother of two sons, 8 and 11, from Columbus, Ohio. "If they see a commercial on TV, then the next time we go to the grocery store they'll say they want to try it," said Haskell.

Tennessee gun store may open near school
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - A gun store is trying to open its doors across the street from an elementary school, but the city's zoning board is preventing it.
We spoke with the Rodney Pierson, owner of Freedom Firearms, Wednesday night. He says he is not putting the kids at risk.
Children won't be allowed in the store and neither will loaded guns, Pierson said.
The Board of Alderman had no problems with the store until now. The store sign went up back in August, but the doors remain closed until a zone boundary line is moved 30 feet. "We got an attorney and we talked to him about the school, and he said everything was okay," said Pierson.
Pierson and his two co-owners got their business permit with no trouble, but now they are having a hard time getting the re-zoning approved, allowing them to sell guns, because a school is nearby.
Freedom Firearms is right next to Andrew Jackson Elementary School -- there is only a road separating the store's plaza from school grounds.
This doesn't worry Pierson, he said, even in the wake of so many school shootings across the nation this year. "Incidents like that happen in schools. There weren't gun stores next to those schools anyway," he said.
Pierson told us they do not plan on selling assault weapons because he said he does not know why anyone would need one.
Some women told the Board of Alderman they're still uneasy. "They were primarily concerned with the message it sends with guns next to the school," said Tom Parham, an Alderman.
Parham told News 5 that guns are sold near schools in other parts of Kingsport without problem. "We actually have gun sales at the Civic Center Auditorium, and that's right next to the Dobyns-Bennett campus," he said.
The board mostly supports the gun shop, but they've decided to wait to vote on it for two weeks, according to Parham, "To give the citizens a chance to talk to the gun owner."
The shop owners told us they're in no rush to open; they want everything to be done by the books.
Owner Rodney Pierson told us he worked in law enforcement for 20 years in both Sullivan County and Hawkins County.
One of his co-owners currently works for the Pentagon, and the other co-owner was once the Carter County Sheriff.
Pierson and his colleagues are leasing the property from Paul Bellamy, owner of a nearby furniture store.

Jim "Moose" Brown: Voyage-Air NAMM Appearance
Jim "Moose" Brown will be performing at the Voyage-Air Guitar NAMM Booth # 1011 on Friday, July 22nd at 4pm and again on Saturday at 2pm.
"Moose" is a busy man in the music biz, and an avid endorser of the Voyage-Air Guitar. In fact, he plays it on stage as guitarist for Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. He's also a hit songwriter (with co-writer credits) for the Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffet duet "It's 5 O'clock Somewhere." As if that weren't enough ... "Moose" is also a award winning producer as a member of the Kent Hardly Boys.
We recently got this video of "Moose" playing with the Mayer Brothers, Peter and Jim (members of Jimmy Buffet & the Coral Reefer Band) performing "It's 5'O'clock Somwehere" at the Hotel Indigo West End, Nashville, TN.


text: Maybe it's just the defense. The opponents have been told by their coach that no Piston can hit an outside shot, but in the first half they just don't believe and continue to guard shooters. After halftime they stop guarding jump shooters and concentrate on taking away inside play and the Pistons are sunk.

Todd Frazier (26) -If I were him, I'd be begging to be tried at shortstop this spring...if he could play the position even half-decently he'd have this club made.
Dave Revering (59) -Part of the Vida Blue trade that Bowie Kuhn vetoed, that would have made the Reds probably the best team of all time. But I'm not bitter...
Chick Hafey -Spent the bulk of his career as a Cardinal, then joined the Reds in the early thirties. A terrific hitter in spite of having terrible eyesight. Became a Hall of Famer during the period when Frankie Frisch dominated the Veteran's Committee and was inducting his old teamates by the carload. He had big stats, but a shortish career for a HOFer, and he only finished in the top 10 in MVP voting once- that doesn't sound like a Hall of Famer to me.
Don Stanhouse (61) -Closer for some of Earl Weaver's Oriole clubs. Weaver called him "Fullpack" because Earl would smoke a whole pack of cigarettes while watching Stanhouse struggle to close the deal on a save. The last couple of years, I've felt like Coco Cordero was a Stanhouse for the new millennium.

Trouble with globalization
Original post made by terry, Leland Manor/Garland Drive, on May 3, 2013
I have been told that a lot of recent purchasers borrowed money in China at the very low rates their government offered to stimulate their economy and that these low rates cannot be continued because they have a bubble (see 60 minutes) which will pop and that when that happens the Chinese who bought in California will be forced to sell and real estate prices will crash.
Does anyone know if all these purchases by Chinese are being made with borrowed money? If its capital they own I am not worried. If its borrowed money I am worried.

The money you borrowed is at historically low (or near low) rates. Anyone complaining about that?
What is your rate?
a resident of Fairmeadow
on May 3, 2013 at 12:14 pm
Let's assume several things:
1. You bought your house both A) to live in and B) as an investment.
2. Because of 1A above, you intend 1B to be a long term investment.
3. You have a reliable income, well able to support what you paid for your house
4. You have an adequate emergency fund in case the the income in 3 drops.
5. Your mortgage is a fixed-rate mortgage, or at least an adjustable mortgage with a long initial term (seven years or more).
If the above is true, then you have very little to worry about, regardless of the source of other people's money.
Long-term, the price of Palo Alto housing is likely to be higher than it is today. That isn't to say that there won't be fluctuations along the way, but that over the long haul (and the longer you think, the better your odds get), you should be OK.
Because you intend to hold long term (and if you don't, why did you buy a house?), a crash tomorrow doesn't affect anything but your ability to move relatively soon. You should ignore the month-to-month changes, and even the year to year changes are something to only glance at. A house is an investment with a multi-decade timeline.
Take the near financial apocalypse around 2007 or so. Peak prices nation wide crashed far and fast--particularly in undesirable places. But in even the worst hit areas, today prices are mostly back. Palo Alto took a hit, but not really much of one, because of that much of the financial pain that other areas experienced didn't occur here.
Long term, it is extremely like that Palo Alto continues to be highly desirable, and that will soften the impact of other financial vagaries.
All of this isn't to say that Palo Alto is immune to financial storms--far from it. But it's hard to imagine a safer long-term real estate bet than Palo Alto, both historically and in the future.

China is trying to influence and run our governments and schools. So far they are succeeding. They have already ruined most of our mArkets through dumping. We need to fight them, not enable them.

Milpitas is great, Cupertino not so much any more.
Anyone read the articles about China's control of Hollywood and anything that portrays China Ina less than spectacular light in the Chron and WSJ? Apparently the remake of "Red Dawn" changed the invaders from China to North Korea at the request of Beijing. Other current and upcoming movies have been changed to the orders of Beijing.
Where is our artistic freedom? For sale to the highest bidder? Are we a nation of hookers?

I don't get it. I see one article after another about the influx of the Chinese and their money.
I live in the furthest South-east corner of Palo Alto and most of the houses in my neighborhood are either bought or rented by East Indians, Pakistanis and Iranians. Do they get their money from China too?
Yes, many Asians are moving into Palo Alto but they are not all Chinese.

Certainly, housing prices here are skyrocketing and, at least according to my real-estate flyers, a bunch of the buyers are Chinese.
That said, there just isn't that much inventory in Palo Alto. Even if recent buyers do a sudden sell-off, it's just not going to be that many properties and there will be a demand for them. So there may be a correction at some point, but long-term, you'll be fine.

I have read that Chinese nationals can get zero interst loans for millions of dollars direct from their government, and that is how most buy houses here.
Assuming this is true, if the Chinese national defaults on that loan, can or will the Chinese government foreclose on that house? Does it then become a possession of, and therefore a tiny colony of, China?
What if the Chinese nationals default in large numbers??? Scary.

The new Chinese premier has asked rich people to show their sources of income and many of them are scrambling to move their black money out of the country. Palo Alto is one of the "beneficiaries" of this phenomenon.

Not an Issue - And you seem to lack basic logic. Chris has pointed you to an article that explains exactly what I was talking about. You said they were "unsubstantiated claims". Well if you want me to prove that the money coming in is as a result of this requirement, sorry I cannot. However, I have spoken to several chinese real estate agents who confirmed this. And I don't see what is derogatory here. And what the hell does it have to do with Spondylosis or cancer or whatever? Are u firing on all cylinders today?

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
i'm thinking i may do two quilts with very different colorways! elisabrat, you gave me a good idea!
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
I am in. I already have way too many projects but what the heck I will squeeze in one more. I have a quilt that my nephew is paying me to make. I drafted it all out on graph paper and cleaned up for Christmas and don't know where it my papers are. I think I have all of the fabric I need for it. He wants a Tardis quilt. It is from Dr Who. I didn't even know what it was. Hopefully it should go pretty fast. I really want to start other stuff.
Im in too. It has been too long between the BOMs.
Landscape quilts and needle turn applique favs.Antlers,Ok
I'm doing this one. I need to test the limits. I'm one of those that normally goes with the flow. This should hopefully get me out of the box a little.
If it says "unsubscribe to this page" you already are subscribed. You don't have to do anything else.
Ok I know this is silly, but I feel like it is Christmas Eve and I'm waiting for Santa. I am so excited about doing a BOM.
Oh wow! I just asked about 2013 on the December BOM thread, and then I found this. I'm in!
How do I find the block that is to be posted today?

My current cars are 2009 Sportwagen Tdi and a 2001 elantra(wife drives) with 300,000km. The elantra is running fine but its a 11 years old(got it in 2000) and who knows how long it will run, it doesn't burn any oil and its be very reliable overall. But it is showing its age with rust spots and worn out suspension bushings) Furthermore my Wife does lots of city driving and we have a 2 year old. So currently I am thinking of 2 cars.Option12011 Elantra GLS with 6spd for around 21,000cdn+tax+freight. PS I might wait till fall for discounts if I decide to go witht he elantra.+reliable and inexpensive to maintain+warranty+Safe+Latest tech+US made-probably will be boring in the future-Tones of them around in the futureOption22006 Audi A3 Premium DSG with xenons, leather, winter package sun roof etc etc with about 90,000km for about 14000Cdn + tax. No warranty. +More exciting+Well Made and high quality+Quick+DSG-Not as reliable-Expensive to fix and maintain-Worse fuel economy out of the three-Older CarOption3Wait till fall and pickup a 2010 Golf Hatchback Tdi for about 22,000cdn + tax with low KM.+Best fuel economy (and diesel is cheaper in Canada)+latest tech+great resale value+well made+fun to drive + torque+safe-pricy to maintain-VW bad reliabilaty reputation-+(not sure if thats good/bad but similar to what I drive now)-Mexico MadeI am currently checking insurance rates as they might have a deciding factor but
The Golf TDI is imported from Germany, not made in Mexico. I'd chose the Golf over the other two.
You need to make up your mind on a few things, before I can try to help you. With that said, the A3.
.**************************************Go Placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. Be on good term with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
A3 TDI.It combines all of the features you like from the Golf and A3.
____________________________Edgy, Controversial, Dangerous...
If it is your spouse driving, would you consider other comparable cars? I think even a current generation Elantra with massive discounts might be appealing. If you are thinking about hatchbacks, I would recommend the Honda Fit, Mazda 3, and Elantra Touring (not sure if those are in Canada). I think the compact nature of each car makes them easy to drive. If you have a little one, you will appreciate the extra space of a hatch.If sticking with your list, I would rank them in this order:1. Elantra - second best gas mileage, probably cheapest to maintain, extensive warranty, acceptable driving dynamics even though it is kind of numb to drive. If Canada is anything like the US, it might actually be cheaper to finance a new Elantra than buy a used Golf TDI. Hyundai usually offers 0-4.39% financing in my area as opposed to most places and banks which are 6-10% (or more if you have bad credit). The 2010 Elantras are boring, but fairly relaible and SUPER cheap. For a spouse that is not a sporty driver, I think the 2010 is the superior choice. If she cares more about looks of the car, the 2011 is the better choice. In most of the US, the 10yr/100k mile powertrain warranty is not transferrable, making a Hyundai a less desirable used car than a new car.2. Golf TDI - Golf has a pretty good reliability reputation. The DSG has me a little worried about long-term reliability, but everything else seems okay. Golf has excellent driving dynamics and the TDI makes it feel super powerful around time. It gets the best gas mileage of the bunch. It has a very nice interior. Is maitenance covered for 3yrs/36k miles in Canada like it is in the US? Great all-around car. It is kind of on the cramped side in the back. I suspect with the high mileage cars you already have, you will probably be looking to own for around 10 years?3. Audi - I wouldn't touch it if it were me. Very expensive upkeep. You will love it when you drive it, but will be swearing a blue streak when it is in the shop.
Audi A3 Tdi in the area are 35,000Cdn Range. Not an option currently.
Golf TDI is so solid and nicely appointed, plus available with all the features you want from he A3, might as well go for that and save some bucks over an A3. Plus, can be had in 6-spd as well as DSG and in 3 & 5 dr.

Golf TDI for sure then.

Due to the rear door design the hatches are actually easier to load kids in then sedans.Anyways Honda Fit - not interested in current hondas, I'm kinda boycotting for lack development moving forward, ugly designs, killing S2000 and NSX etc etcMazda3 is OK but I don't like the 2.5L engine and the 2.0 does not come with a 6speed Auto/Man gear box. And don't like the way it looks.Elantra Touring - Outdated Mechanical - But soon update version might be very interesting.
If it was me I would go with the 2010 Golf TDI.

You already have the wonderful Sportwagen and have hauling capability. Based on what you drive and your other answers, it seems you value handling, refinement, and space. Your best choice for those prefernces are the Golf. The Golf is a superior handling car. If you drive the Elantra and the Golf back-to-back, it will be painfully obvious.Is it just the issue of reliability? I went down the same road when I bought my Jetta. So far, I have zero squeaks, rattles, problems, or recalls in a mere 9200 miles of driving in my first year. The only beef is the paint scratches very easily. Ultimately, I treated it as a splurge purchase. Do you qualify for any Candian tax credits for a clean diesel vehicle? You could try to hold out for the 2012 Focus hatch...but, that might be over what you want to spend.
All 3 are good cars. Obviously a concern for you is reliability so count the A3 out (no warranty.. and its an Audi) even though its the sweetest of the 3.Golf GTI will have worse reliability but still has a warranty and has very good MPG.Elantra is all around a good car, and still gets good MPG and comes with the best warranty.I'd tell you to test drive the Golf and the Elantra and decide between them. If they are still even, see which dealership will give you a better deal!
-------2012 Chevy "Penelope" Cruze - 1.4L TUUUUUURBO
I'm aiming for the Hatchback however the new Elantra is not available in a Hatch version yet so the elantra would be the sole sedan. Anyways the golf has only slightly better handling then the 2011 elantra and even interior finish quality is not dramatically different. However I find the Golf design execution is much more pleasant. I did notice that the elantra has a more predictable driving manners in slippery winter conditions. Not sure if thats a tire issue.The other issues is if the used Golf Tdi prices wont come down as the gas prices rise. Tomorrow I'm taking the A3 for a test drive. No need to drive the Golf as its similar like mine.I did get insurance quotes today2011 Elantra 1652/year2006 Audi 1630/year2010 Golf Tdi 1500/year
ZeeGold:The Golf TDI is imported from Germany, not made in Mexico. I'd chose the Golf over the other two.If any car has a VIN that starts with "3," it's made in Mexico...and yes, German cars apply.
