Corporate Advocacy Program™
On Wednesday May 8, 2013 Mr. Andrade told my Mother, Phyllis shaw, that he had a car that just came in for sale. My mother was hesitant about the car but she told me about it and told me to get a mechanic to look at it first. My Andrade text both my mother and I that I should put down a deposit and if I didn't want the car he would make sure I get my deposit back. My mother told me not to give him any money but he insisted and showed up at my house right before I went to work. I gave him $500 from withdrawn from my ATM and went to work. I did not sign any documents nor did I receive a receipt. The next morning May 9, 2013 I took a mechanic and looked at the car and he told me that the car was a piece of s**t and not to buy it. Mr. Andrade insisted that I buy something else and both the mechanic and my mother told me to get my money and leave. I asked for my money and I was told the Owner or manager was not there to return my money and to come back the next day. I showed up the next and I was told the money was not refundable. I told them that i was assured by mr. Andrade that my money would be refundable if I gave him the deposit and that I was not aware of a non-refundable policy. We have text messages from mr Andrade that the money would be refundable. I don't understand when you can buy a car and return within 3 days and receive money back but cannot receive my moeny back in less than 24 hours when I did not sign any documents, received any receipt and was told the money was refundable by the sales person, Mr. Andrade.

#1 UPDATE Employee
We are sorry
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, August 19, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, August 19, 2014
Unfortunaley Michael Andrade stole this money from this customer. he is no longer employed here nor will he ever come back. After this happened we contacted his previous employer and found out he was fired from that job for stealing a customers money there as well. As you can read in the customers report Michael Andrade went to thier house and then followed them to an atm machine and got the money and gave them no reciept. Outside the dealership! We all feel very badly for what happened to this client. However if someone who works in a location calls you & wants to come to your house for a cash deposit. What BIGGER RED FLAG THAT THEY ARE STEALING YOUR MONEY IS THAT?????????? If anything like that happened at the store we would refund 100% of the money stolen!!! Michael Andrade is a known thief and still sells cars on 441 in Ft. Lauderdale!!!! Beware if you run accross him. Especailly if he want's to come to your house to pick up a cash deposit with no reciept. This was an unfortunate thing that happened and again we are very sorry. But understand that he was let go the moment this came to light & we advised the customer to call the police. Which they did not do instead they blamed us for thier mistake. Again apologies

text: I wasn't looking for a Tiger but here is what happened. I answered a CL ad and talked to the seller. Turns out he was unable to ride his bike anymore and had nobody to leave it to so he thought he out to sell it. He recieved the bike new at age 12 and it was the only bike he ever needed. Until last year he was using it to get the mail at the end of his long gravel driveway. Its not quite as original as it looks. Aparently in the late 70's it was impossible to get Schwinn tires in really rural Montana. When he crossed paths with a bike mechanic he had him change the rims to standard 26 inchers. He claims that not only are the hubs and their shiners original, but they kept the original spokes. Not too sure how that works, but I will look further into the spoke thing in daylight. It is also missing the front rack and the chainguard is banged up pretty good. Not sure what to do with it. Put it back to original or leave it alone? I'm not even sure I want to keep it, but I couldn't pass it up.

Step 1: Remove the cooking grate and rock grate
Renovating a grill involves three steps. You clean grease and grime off the grill. Repaint oxidized and faded parts with high-temp paint, and replace worn-out parts (get replacement parts at most home centers). Your grill may not look exactly like the one we show in the photos, but the components will be similar.
Start by removing the cooking grate, warming rack and lava rocks as shown in Photo 1. If the lava rocks are more than a year old or saturated with grease, replace them with new lava rocks or ceramic briquettes. The rock grate holds the lava rocks or briquettes above the burner. Under the rock grate there will be either a vapor bar or flame spreader, which protects the burner from dripping grease. Remove the rock grate and expose the burner as shown in Photo 2. The burner will be held in place with screws or retaining clips hooked into the venturi tubes.
Before doing any work, disconnect the gas supply or propane tank, and wear gloves to protect your hands from incredibly dirty grease stains.
Step 2: Test the igniter
Next, test the igniter electrode for a spark (Photo 3). When you push the igniter button, the electrode in the collector box sparks and ignites the gas. If the igniter wire sheathing has worn off, cover the exposed spots with electrical tape and retest. Most igniters fail because the spark never makes it to the electrode. If the igniter doesn't work, replace the entire igniter assembly. Photo 4 shows how to disconnect the igniter wire and remove the retaining clips from the venturi tubes, which carry gas from the control panel to the burners. Remove the igniter collector box from the burner (Photo 5) and the igniter button (Photo 6) from the control panel.
Step 3: Remove and clean the burner assembly
The burner assembly is the heart of the grill. Remove and clean it as shown in Photos 7 – 9. If the burner or venturi tubes have excessive rust and the burner holes are rusted through, replace the burner assembly. These assemblies can be expensive.
Step 4: Scrub the grill body
Once you pull out all the parts, remove grease buildup from the body (Photo 10). Remove stubborn grease film with an oven or grill cleaner (Photo 11). Clean the viewing glass with a glass cleaner. Dislodge buildup from the cooking grate with a wire brush or the special grill cleaning brush shown in Photo 12.
Degrease and Sand Before Painting
Spread degreaser inside the cover and burner area and over the entire exterior. Then scrub the entire grill with a brush. Make sure you remove grease from all the crevices. If you have a power washer, soak the grill with degreaser and then blast off the grease and loose paint. Rinse it with water and let it dry in the sun.
Sand pitted and corroded areas with 80-grit sandpaper. Use a wire brush in the crevices to remove surface rust and chipping paint. Then switch to 120-grit sandpaper and sand the entire grill and cart.
Step 5: Restore the wood slats
Scrub down the wooden slats with sandpaper, and recoat them with a matching stain (Photo 13).
Paint the grill
After sanding, wipe the entire grill with a tack cloth. Pretreat the worst rust spots with a rust converter product. Once that dries, prime the rusty areas and bare metal with a primer for rusty metal. Let the primer dry. Then spray-paint it. Let the paint dry for the recommended time. Then install the burners and grates and any replacement parts and get grilling.

Enchanted by chamber music
Page Tools
Some of the Southbank Players, a chamber music group that
specialises in arrangements with unusual instrumentations.
Photo: Supplied
A popular group of chamber musicians is an ensemble like no other, writes Anna McAlister.
In 2001, cellist Virginia Kable started the Southbank Players because she wanted to play Mendelssohn's Octet properly, for a change. The Octet is scored, unusually, for double string quartet and because of the logistics of getting eight people together it's not often performed.
"Everyone's played it after a glass of wine sitting around with friends," says Kable, who admits it's a challenging work and those tipsy soirees don't do it justice.
The Southbank Players is a pool of musicians, mostly from the Melbourne Symphony, who perform chamber music in various combinations. Their focus is on presenting works for medium-sized ensembles, often with unusual instrumentations. "A lot of people, when they think of chamber music, think of string quartets or a chamber orchestra," says Kable. "They don't realise that there's great repertoire for ensembles in between."
Often the most detailed and profound chamber performances come from long-term groups whose members have established intimate artistic relationships. The trouble with works for unusual instrumentations is that performers come together temporarily and don't have time to develop the depth of understanding shared by musicians in a permanent ensemble. The Southbank Players aim to present the best of both worlds: rare instrumentations from musicians who have spent years working together in different groupings and know each other's playing inside out.
Their first concert for 2005, on Sunday, is a cello fest. It includes Sardana by cello virtuoso Pablo Casals and two of Villa-Lobos's Bachianas Brasileiras: number one, for eight celli, and the steamy number five for celli and voice, with soprano Antoinette Halloran. She will also sing Melbourne composer Calvin Bowman's Three Night Songs for soprano, string quartet and organ.
Although the Players aren't funded to commission new music, their personal connections with composers have led to works being written especially for them. Their third 2005 concert, on October 2, will feature Australian composer Padma Newsome's Oboe Quartet with his sister, oboist Eve Newsome. And the chance to write for a flexible professional ensemble is extremely valuable for local composers such as Rob Cossom, whose String Sextet the Players premiered last year.
The Southbank Players is by no means a money-spinner. Finances have grown since the inaugural concert when everyone performed for a bottle of red, but Kable says funding is fickle. With 2004's Australia Council grant not renewed this year, the Players' success relies on ticket sales and the enthusiasm of musicians who are prepared to play without the guarantee of a professional fee.
Most of the Players hold full-time orchestral positions and many teach, yet they cram chamber music into their hectic schedules. Kable says that chamber music can provide an important artistic antidote to orchestral playing. "There's a certain musical autonomy that you don't get with orchestral playing."
She says orchestral players need the chance to think independently as musicians. "Having your own musical voice and being able to shape the interpretation; that's a big part of it," she says.
The Southbank Players at St Johns, Southgate, on Sunday at 3pm. For details, tel 0408 197 911, or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Volume XV, No. 22
29 Adar 5761
March 24, 2001
Today's Learning:
Nedarim 5:4-5
Orach Chaim 398:9-11
Daf Yomi (Bavli): Gittin 45
Daf Yomi (Yerushalmi): Sanhedrin 36
After the last three parashot (Terumah, Tetzaveh and Ki Tissa)
have described the design of the Mishkan / Tabernacle and its
components and vessels, this week's two parashot, Vayakhel and
Pekudei, describe the actual construction of the Mishkan. At the
end of Parashat Pekudei (and the Book of Shemot) we read: "Moshe
could not enter the Ohel Mo'ed / Tent of Meeting, for the cloud
rested upon it, and the glory of Hashem filled the Mishkan."
This was a sign of Hashem's happiness with Bnei Yisrael.
The midrash relates that the nations of the world try to entice
the Jewish people by saying, "Join us, and we will give you
The Jewish people answer, "Can you give us anything as great as
what G-d gave us in the desert, where we sinned against Him and
He forgave us [as seen from the fact that His glory filled the
Mishkan]?" R' Yaakov Leiner z"l (the "Izbicer Rebbe"; died 1878)
There could be no greater closeness to G-d in "This World" than
that which Bnei Yisrael experienced while living in the desert in
proximity to the Mishkan. At any moment, they could tell exactly
where they stood with G-d by looking at the cloud that hovered
over the Tabernacle. When Hashem was pleased, His glory filled
the Mishkan, and when He was angry, it left. There can be no
greater joy than being so close to G-d.
However, our closeness to Hashem in the time of Mashiach will
be even greater. Regarding that time, the prophet Yishayah wrote
(25:9): "And they will say on that day, 'Behold this is our G-d;
we hoped to Him that He would save us. This is Hashem to Whom we
hoped, let us exult and be glad in his salvation'" - in even
greater gladness than in the past. (Bait Yaakov)
"But the work ('ve'hamelachah') was enough . . . and there
was extra ('ve'hotair')." (36:7)
The word "ve'hamelachah" / "But the work" appears in three
places in Tanach - here, in the verse (Ezra 10:13), "But the work
is not for one day or for two days," and in Divrei Hayamim I
(29:1), "But the work is great." What can we learn from this?
R' Eliezer Papo z"l (1785-1827; rabbi in Sarajevo) writes:
The work required to observe the Torah is great. There are 613
mitzvot, and who can keep them all? But the work is not for one
day or for two days; rather each soul must be incarnated three or
more times before its work is complete.
Alternatively, the work, i.e., mitzvot that one performs in one
lifetime, can be enough if one has a real desire to observe the
entire Torah, for Hashem attaches man's good thoughts to his good
deeds. Or, one can get credit for observing some of the mitzvot
by studying the laws of those commandments (alluded to by the
fact that the word "ve'hotair" has the same letters as the word
(Elef Ha'maggen)
In many editions of the chumash, each parashah is followed by a
note indicating the number of verses in the parashah and mnemonic
device to remember the number, i.e., a word or phrase whose
gematria is equal to the number of verses. For example, the note
at the end of the first of this week's parashot, Vayakhel,
states: "122 verses; the siman / sign is 'Senuah'." ("Senuah" is
a person mentioned in the book of Nechemiah; the name has a
gematria of 122.)
In nearly all chumashim, however, this week's second parashah,
Pekudei, which has 92 verses, has no such note printed after it.
R' Menachem Mendel Schneerson z"l (1902-1994; the "Lubavitcher
Rebbe") was once asked why, and he responded as follows:
"It is necessary to check older prints of the chumash, for in
my opinion, this originates from a printer's omission, which was
later copied by other printers. Perhaps the original siman
consisted of the phrase 'bli kol' / 'without any' [see Devarim
28:55], which has a gematria of 92. Perhaps a young printer's
apprentice saw the phrase 'bli kol siman' / 'without any siman'
and misunderstood its meaning, so that Parashat Pekudei was, in
fact, left without any siman."
(Quoted in Otzrot Tzaddikei U'geonei Ha'dorot)
Chazal designed the Pesach Seder to revolve around questions
and answers. Indeed, the halachah states that if a couple has no
children, the wife should recite the "Mah Nishtanah" section.
And, if a person is all alone, he should ask himself the
questions. Why?
R' Avraham Danzig z"l (author of the halachic compendium Chayei
Adam) explains: We do so many of our mitzvot by rote, without
giving them much, if any, thought. However, the lessons of
Pesach are the centerpieces of our beliefs as Jews, and they are
much too important to be done by rote. Therefore, Chazal
required us to ask questions in order to slow us down and make us
Nor should the questions be limited to "Mah Nishtanah," R'
Danzig writes. When the gemara describes the seder, it says, "We
pour the second cup, and then the son asks." Presumably, the
question that the son will ask is, "Why are you pouring a second
cup of wine before washing for hamotzi?" which is not one of the
questions in "Mah Nishtanah."
Moreover, R' Danzig notes, the questions of "Mah Nishtanah"
could not be the questions to which the gemara refers (" . . .
and then the son asks"), for a child could not even ask the Mah
Nishtanah [unless he had been prepared beforehand, as has become
common]. One of the questions is, "Why on all other nights do we
eat chametz and matzah, and tonight only matzah?" How can a
child know at the beginning of the meal that we will eat only
matzah? Perhaps, just as on all other nights we eat chametz and
matzah, right now there is only matzah on the table, but soon we
will bring chametz!
Rather, "Mah Nishtanah" is a set of more sophisticated
questions, whose real meaning is, "Why will our actions tonight
combine signs of slavery, such as eating matzah, and freedom,
such as eating while reclining?" As for the children, they
should be allowed and encouraged to ask whatever questions occur
to them.
(Haggadah Shel Pesach Toldot Adam)
R' Shmuel Avigdor of Karlin z"l (19th century) observes that
the question and answer format is not merely a creation of
Chazal. It is a mitzvah de'Oraita / Torah-ordained commandment,
mentioned no fewer than four times in the Torah.
(Haggadah Shel Pesach Im Peirush Maharsha)
This week, we present part of the introduction to Migdal
David, Sefer Emunah, by R' David Ha'kochavi. The author was
born in approximately 1260 in Estella, Navarre, Spain, and he
died in Provence (southern France) in approximately 1330.
Migdal David, Sefer Emunah is part of a larger work, Sefer
Ha'battim, which covers both aggadic and halachic topics.
The title "tzaddik" refers in most places in the books of the
Prophets to an elevated person whose soul behaves consistently
with good character traits and whose intentions and deeds are
desirable. "His heart is firm, confident in Hashem" [Tehilim
112:7]. He believes with a strong emunah / faith based on a
received tradition. . . He has not discerned or understood the
intentions of the mitzvot or their purposes . . . ; rather, his
heart is wholly with Hashem our G-d regarding everything that He
commanded, "and in His Torah he meditates day and night" [Tehilim
1:2] in order to know the laws of the mitzvot and all their
details. . .
Others use the title "tzaddik" to refer to a person whom Hashem
has filled with a spirit of wisdom and understanding, one who
rules over [his own] fear of G-d and [his performance of]
mitzvot. He controls his eyes and directs them to G-d's work,
and he seeks among the various areas of wisdom "to understand the
fear of Hashem and discover knowledge of G-d" [Mishlei 2:5].
This is a perfect tzaddik, as the Rambam has taught us that
"righteousness" means "doing justice," and "justice" means
"giving each thing its due." Such a person does justice with his
soul, for the highest part of the soul is the intellect. . .
Just as we find that in the words of the Torah and Prophets,
and in the expressions of our Sages, the word "tzaddik" is used
in the two ways mentioned, so our nation is divided into two
groups. One says that the proper way which a person should
choose, where there is "Light sown for the righteous" [Tehilim
97:11], is meditation in the written and oral Torah day and night
to know its meanings and details, which are called, "The
questions of Abaye and Rava" [Sukkah 28a, referring to two
Talmudic sages]. This, they say, is who finds favor in the eyes
of G-d, and one who knows [the Torah] and who acts with alacrity
regarding this matter and who is filled [with Torah] and whose
Torah is arranged on his lips, he is the elevated one. About such
a person they said [Pesachim 50a], "Fortunate is one who comes
here and his learning is in his hand." . . .
The second group says that "the path of life which is loftiest
for the intelligent person" [Mishlei 15:24] is to understand and
to probe in order to know and comprehend through investigation
the existence of Hashem and His uniqueness, while at the same
time observing the mitzvot; all this, in order to know the
purpose of the mitzvot. - to be continued -

The church of Panagia Ekatontapyliani
The church of Panaghia Ekatontapyliani, dedicated to Virgin Mary, is one of the most ancient monuments of the religious architecture of Byzantine times that exist in Greece. The church is situated in the town of Paros (Paroikia), close to the port. It is an imposing building seizing the eye, as soon as the visitor gets ashore. The church is commonly called "Katapoliani", a false pronunciation of the expression "kata tin polin", meaning "by the ancient town". The official name "Ekatontapyliani"of the church is found for the first time in documents of the 16th century. Ekatontapyliani means in Greek "with 100 gates" and in fact, according to tradition the church is said to have 100 gates. The church attracts a lot of visitors both for pilgrimage and for sight seeing and the celebration of the Assumption of Virgin Mary on the 15th of August is equally glorious with that of Tinos.
|Click on any image to enlarge
Local tradition states that the church had been constructed by the first Byzantine emperor Constantinos the Great, who in that way would keep his solemn promise to his mother St Helen, who had prayed at this place when she was obliged to stay for some time on the island, on her way to the Holy Land in 326. According to another tradition, in the 6th century, the emperor Justinian had ordered Ignatius, the master builder of Aghia Sofia to construct a new, bigger and more grandiose church at the place of the previous one.
The church preserved today is a three-aisled basilica of cross shape with a vault. Archaeological surveys have shown that it is built on the foundations of a gymnasium of the Roman period, the mosaic floor of which has survived and is displayed in the archaeological museum of the town of Paros. Today, what have survived from the church of the Early Christian period (of Constantinos the Great) are the pulpit, parts of the icon screen, made of marble, the altar and the throne of the bishops. The wall paintings of both of the main church and of the chapels are really impressive. The frescoes of the chapel of Aghios Nicolaos go back to the 7th and the 8th century. Numerous icons embellish the church, among which that of Jesus Christ and of the Assumption of Virgin Mary placed on the icon screen are silver plated, a donation of the Greek noble Nicolaos Mavrogenis, the prince of Moldavia and Vallachia, whose origin was from Paros.
Several chapels are found both around the main church and in its interior; the oldest of all is the chapel of Aghios Nicolaos constructed very early in the 4th century, just after the Edict of Mediolanum. A chapel with a built cross shaped font made of marble, which served as Baptistery, is unique in Greece.
During the wars between the Venetians and the Ottoman Empire, the Ottomans pillaged the church and took all the precious objects of it. Throughout its history, Ekatontapyliani had undergone several modifications and interventions. After 1960s' a large scale restorations had been carried out which resulted to give to the church the form it had in the 6th century.In 1992, the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece has declared Ekatontapyliani as a Panhellenic place of pilgrimage, for the archaeological, historic and religious value it has. Ever since, the church is no more a parish church but a place of pilgrimage attracting thousands of faithful people and of other visitors, who come here to admire this outstanding building and see the Byzantine Museum housed here.

Acadian researchers at l'Université de Moncton have discovered a list of 289 names of Acadians who were living on Prince Edward Island in 1763, but they're still trying to reach a consensus about what exactly the rare list was for.
Regis Brun, an archivist at the university's centre d'etudes acadiennes, believes it's a list of Acadians held prisoner by the British at Fort Amherst, now a historic site on the shores of Charlottetown Harbour.

I'll be 40 when I start school next fall. I quit my job prior to taking the LSAT because I wanted to really focus on prepartion. My mind had been corrupted by 15 years in the corporate world where constant interruptions and distractions combined with a 10 cup a day caffeine addiction had created a latent ADD type of problem for me. I could focus and perform well in short spurts, but I would get killed over the course of a complete LSAT.I quit the coffee, got in good physical shape, and did over 30 practice tests with the last 20 being striclty administered. Over the course of 6+ months preparation I improved my performance from low 150s to getting a 166 in October. Its really quite analogous to an athletes who develop rigorous practice regimens in an attempt to peak on race day, and a wholistic approach is most effective. Regardless of your age, the LSAT is so large a factor for admissions that it needs to be given appropriate respect, except by the rare geniuses who manage to ace the test cold. People that smart would probably be very bored in law school
Hi Lulu,Thanks for the kind comments. You're right, we don't know until we get the scores. Hopefully, they'll be good! Unlike before, I didn't get that warm, fuzzy feeling this time on the test (unlike the practice tests). The answers didn't jump out at me after I eliminated a few wrong responses. This happened most of the time. However, I finished eight applications before the test- only one more to go! Figuring that only 9% of applicants are 34 and older, (dare I write) we might have a good chance- even with a lousy score.Good luck to you too!Geezer

Must Watch Lucha Libre Matches?
Hey guys.
I'm a huge fan of alternative styles of wrestling from the US mainstream, my favorite being Joshi wrestling, but one scene I've never looked much into has been Lucha Libre matches taking place in Mexico (non-Lucha Libre features in US or Dragon Gate style). I'm wondering what matches are must sees for that genre of wrestling. Thanks.
Re: Must Watch Lucha Libre Matches?
Roughly how many do you want for starters? I could list dozens and still not be done. :p
Re: Must Watch Lucha Libre Matches?
Haha, I don't really care, just mostly looking for a lot of matches that are considered classics.
Re: Must Watch Lucha Libre Matches?
All of them. Please?

Re: Must Watch Lucha Libre Matches?
Re: Must Watch Lucha Libre Matches?
I'll start with ten. I want to give you some various stuff from different wrestlers so you can pick and chose who you like and stuff. You'll probably not like some of this stuff straight away (if you ever like it), but what the shit. I'll only list matches available on the web and give linkys.
El Hijo del Santo v Negro Casas (WWA 7/18/87)
Santo's my got-to guy for people who want to get into lucha, and he's got more than one way to work a match - this is his tecnico (babyface) hair/mask match against his best opponent. These two have a top ten chemistry ever and this might not be their best match. I thin this took place in America, but it's 1000% lucha libre. I forgot to mention Negro Casas is a sort-of dark horse pick for greatest wrestler ever.
Bracito de Oro/Cicloncito Ramirez/Magica Magica v Damiancito el Guerrero/Fierito/Pierrothito (CMLL 3/10/97)
You need some minis. Everyone needs some minis. This is one of the greatest wrestling matches of all time, bar none. Lucha or not.
El Dandy v Negro Navarro (IWRG 11/18/01)
Mat-based match and not many people do mat-based matches better than these two.
El Satanico v Gran Cochisse (EMLL 9/14/84) - Hair match
Meet el Satanico.
Atlantis v Villano III (CMLL 3/17/00) - Mask match
The main event of the first ever CMLL PPV. There are grown men crying in the audience after this is finished. In my opinion this is probably the best wrestling match to happen anywhere from 1998 to 2012.
Blue Panther v Atlantis (CMLL 12/5/97)
Their 1991 match is one of the greatest matches in wrestling history. This isn't, but it's really great as well. I don't think someone should all the best stuff before everything else.
Blue Panther v Super Astro (AAA 9/10/92)
More Blue Panther! Astro is awesome and kinda pudgy!
Aaaaand that.
Re: Must Watch Lucha Libre Matches?
I gotta admit I never really watched Lucha Libre wrestling (except for notable matches here and there), but strangely, I'm a huge fan of the style and I respect the hell out of masks and what they represent.
Now, I'd like to take a ride through their history once, but I simply have no that kind of free time, so I'd just like to see few 2008+ notable links thrown in this this thread. Negro Casas and Villano preferably.
Re: Must Watch Lucha Libre Matches?
The probably most important match in lucha libre history is Atlantis vs Villano III mask vs mask match from 2000.
And this is pretty good match as well:

SE Michigan Yota's
Any body feel the discrimination? I am a Yota man and also a Ford dude. I came out from Tractor Supply today and my left rear Yota tire was slashed. Thank goodness for full sized spares, but I'm going to have to spend some cheese, as my tires (the other 3 BFG mt(33x9.50x15)) are no longer in production. Is this AMERICAN? Bastards, but foreign chicks and trucks can be HOT! I understand we are on hard times, but am I supposed to ditch my 29yr old Toy and take out a loan for an 09 POS?
If there is a rants and raves, please move this MODS, thanks. Otherwise if you have a single 33x9.5x15 PM me. Peace out

Lst year I went to see Machine Head at the Machine Shop in Flint. I came out and someone wrote "FAG" in the snow on my tonneau cover. I fugered they were jealous because they knew I was going to get home with all the snow we got that night.
I have had quite a few run-ins over the years and I have owned Toyota trucks on and off over the last 12 years. Funny thing is, I never got any shit when I had my Subaru WRX. I hate having to tell them that a Pontiac Vibe is the same as a Toyota Matrix wich is a Corolla underneath, Tracker is a Suzuki, their Chevy truck was probably built in Canada while my Toyota was built in California. "The $$ still goes to Japan" and its ok for GM to give them $$? A Geo Prizm was just a re-badged Corolla too. FUnny how I had a dealer tell me years ago they hardly sold Corollas but Prizms would sell like crazy (long before gas was even $2 a gal.) .
Sucks about your tire. I would go back and see if they have a camera. If not, see if you can claim it against their insurance. It didn't happen in your yard.
Hell, you get it here for owning one. If I want a tow vehicle, I will buy a Chevy. I have nothing against them. I want a smaller truck. They can fit a lot better through trails. The aftermarket (or lack there of blows for the Colorado). I sat in a brand new Colorado too. Thats why I went right back down the street and bought my used Taco.

it may or may not be specific to the brand. ive had it happen with different vehicals usually for because they were nice or "newer" more so than what brand they were.
trashing people's property is so ultra retarded theres nothing to figure out. theres no logic trail to follow, the voice in their head might be something like . . " ive busted out your windows because youve got the wrong brand car. now that youve got the "message" you should sell or preferably burn your car and go get a loan for a new correct brand car. the purchase of that one vehical will of course result in me getting a big promotion and all jobs coming back to the states". . . a 3 year old child has better reasoning skills than the people that vandalize stuff. a 3yr old knows that, A. you deal with the man to get things done (who ever is in charge). and B. acting out gets you equal doses of the affect and consiquince, ie. theres no net gain in whatever they were after.

That sucks that they slashed your tire. It is a long shot but PM Mudviper he used to run one of those tires as a spare but it has been years. I love my old Broncos but for a DD and light wheeling I beat on my Yotas because they are cheap. My Broncos are too expensive to take out and destroy. I have had Rangers,S10's and Broken II's when they were a few years old and had more problems than I do now with my 20-24 year old Toyotas. I have never had any issues with people messing with my ride but I would be afraid to take my 97 4Runner to a customers plant and park in the union employee's lot.
We build equipment for the automakers and they are building a lot of cars and trucks in Mexico and parts come from all over the globe. I am glad all of my Yotas are old enough to have been built in Japan. My Broncos rolled of the line in Wayne Mi but they don't build them anymore so I found the next best thing.

All of them in MI are in the UP. I think there are more up there than in all the LP. I see a lot more of them up there than I do down here. I spotted this in Marquette last August.
I really think it was a bunch of buy-backs.

I found a suprising number of people who really disliked my last truck because it was a Toyota. Not just little joking comments, but really hated the thing.
Funny, I get crap now because I'm using Toyota axles under a 50's era Willys.

Brother has the same thing now in school. Aways funny though when they run there mouth bout the truck then you show them up later wheeling. They just hate cuz they think they should

One of the major benefits of having a 'Yota is it something different. I hate having a vehicle and seeing another identical one going the other way. I am not too worried about seeing another like mine around this town. There are only about a handfull of DoubleCabs my bodystyle around town anyway.
At least when they pop up for sale around here, they are usually pretty cheap. I missed out on a '87 Land Cruiser with 93k on it for $2400. It was in great shape too.

That is a pretty crappy story. I can understand being frustrated- my last job was for GM and my next one looks like it will be doing work for GM so I feel it too. But wrong is wrong....

I get a 2007 Tundra for a company car once every few weeks, I will randomly get people giving me the finger or telling me to buy a real truck and crap like that. I find it rather comical because the truck is built in Texas and all.
Oh... and are there any people on here that are fans of older Toyota cars? I have a 1977 Celica that I stuffed a Turbo Supra motor into(7M-GTE/R154). I can't find to many people that have any older yotas in MI besides the trucks.

Any pics of the Celica? I looked at a '77 that was in great shape. I thought about the same thing you did.

I work for AISIN, I am sure you Yota guys know what that is..... we had a few issues with the transmission in testing, but overall its a pretty good truck, and its damn fast too. There is a lot of frame flex and reverberation(sp?) over bumps on the road on every one except for the crewmax, to the point of being annoying actually.
Pictures? of course I have pictures!

Lactoferrin and Periodontitis
Byron's Comments:
This study supports the topical application of bovine lactoferrin to improve oral health.
Study Title:Lactoferrin and oral diseases: current status and perspective in periodontitis.
Study Abstract:
Lactoferrin (Lf), an iron-binding glycoprotein able to chelate two ferric ions per molecule, is a component of human secretions synthesized by exocrine glands and neutrophils in infection/inflammation sites. Lactoferrin in saliva represents an important defence factor against bacterial injuries including those related to Streptococcus mutans and periodontopathic bacteria through its ability to decrease bacterial growth, biofilm development, iron overload, reactive oxygen formation and inflammatory processes.A growing body of research suggests that inflammatory periodontal disease involves a failure of resolution pathways to restore tissue homeostasis. There is an important distinction between anti-inflammation and resolution; anti-inflammation is pharmacologic intervention in inflammatory pathways, whereas resolution involves biologic pathways restoring inflammatory homeostasis. An appropriate regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis might be useful in reducing periodontal tissue destruction. Recently, the multi-functional IL-6 is emerging as an important factor able to modulate bone, iron and inflammatory homeostasis.Here, we report an overview of Lf functions as well as for the first time Lf anti-inflammatory ability against periodontitis in in vitro model and observational clinical study. In in vitro model, represented by gingival fibroblasts infected with Prevotella intermedia, Lf exerted a potent anti-inflammatory activity. In the observational clinical trial performed through bovine Lf (bLf) topically administered to volunteers suffering from periodontitis, bLf decreased cytokines, including IL-6 in crevicular fluid, edema, bleeding, pocket depth, gingival and plaque index, thus improving clinical attachment levels.Even if other clinical trials are required, these results provide strong evidence for a instead of an therapeutic potential of this multifunctional natural protein.

If this report is true as related, New York Philharmonic music director Alan Gilbert is our new hero.
Tuesday night's New York Philharmonic performance of the Mahler Ninth was stopped dead by an unusual instrument — the iPhone. [...] "Mr. Gilbert was visibly annoyed by the persistent ring-tone, so much that he quietly cut the orchestra," the concertgoer reports. She related how the orchestra's music director turned on the podium towards the offender. The pause lasted a good "three or four minutes. It might have been two. It seemed long." Mr. Gilbert asked the man, sitting [in the audience] in front of the concertmaster: "Are you finished?"RTWT here.
Update (3:29 PM Eastern on 11 Jan): More from The New York Times.

Banking and beer have been inseparable from New Zealand's big tennis tournaments for a decade and a half.
ASB has been the women's classic naming-rights sponsor for the past 16 years. And for the past 14 years, DB-owned Heineken has been the name behind the men's event.
Both companies and a branding expert say the usually uncrowded space for major events makes the sponsorships a winner.
ASB's executive general manager for culture and community, Linley Wood, said the sponsorship deal was renewable every three years.
"What made us get into it in the first place is a lot to do with why we've stayed in it," she said.
"It's a recognised international event, the first WTA event of the year.
"It's attracted quite a few world-class players because people can go on to the Australian Open.
"It's at a time of the year where people are relaxing and wanting to sit down in front of the TV or head off and watch the tennis."
She said the lack of other big events meant the tennis got maximum exposure. It also allowed the bank to entertain clients.
Through the years the classic has attracted high-profile players, including Anna Kournikova, Lindsay Davenport and Maria Sharapova. The coming tournament was to host Venus Williams until her withdrawal through illness last week.
Wood said ASB would sometimes top up the appearance fee budget for top-line stars.
"It depends on the person they [Tennis Auckland] attract. If it's worth it for the New Zealand public, we will."
Williams' withdrawal had created a few headaches.
"That's a bit of a challenge from a marketing perspective because we've got a lot of marketing material built around her. "We feel for her and she wouldn't have made that decision lightly."
The bank has two strategies - a sponsorship programme for sports such as tennis and football, and a community programme where it supports organisations such as St John and Starship.
Though she would not divulge what is spent on tennis, the bank's total sponsorship and community budget was $12 million a year, Wood said.
Heineken is brewed in New Zealand by DB, which says the men's open is a great way for corporates to host customers and forge better working relationships.
DB Breweries managing director Brian Blake said his company tracked all brand activity around the tournament with a goal to enhancing key brand measures such as "worth paying more for" and "international premium".
The event has also hosted some big names, including a Swiss player by the name of Roger Federer in 2000 and a Spanish player by the name of Rafael Nadal in 2004.
For Federer, it turned out to be his only appearance in Auckland, lasting just 68 minutes before he was bundled out in the first round by another future world No 1, Juan Carlos Ferrero. Nadal reached the Heineken Open final, but was beaten by Dominik Hrbaty.
Blake said the buildup to the tournament began six months out with brand and PR teams meeting fortnightly with Tennis Auckland.
Besides corporate hosting, Heineken has set up bars and an after-party on finals day. The link between sport and alcohol has been under the microscope this year with high-profile incidents involving All Blacks.
Blake said the brand association between tennis and Heineken was positive.
"We've never had a social responsibility issue at any tournament."
Brian Richards of brand strategists Brian R Richards said the golden rule was that up to three times the original sponsorship needed to be spent on promotion and marketing around the event.
"They will need to spend that to get real value."
The beer sponsorship was obvious - appeal to drinkers at the height of summer - but the bank sponsorship was more subtle.
"It's part of the corporate story - they're wanting to talk to the upper middle class who may be interested in tennis."
Heineken was also one of the sponsors of the Rugby World Cup, which Blake said was a big success with 46 per cent more of the beer sold compared with the same time last year.

* The ASB Women's classic runs from Monday, to January 7.

Gianfranco Zola described it was "very hard to take" for Watford at The Den, as his side somehow failed to capitalise on Hull City's 1-0 loss at Wolves, going down by the same score-line to Millwall.
Watford had far more chances, possession, quality on the pitch and on the bench but the game was settled by Millwall substitute Shaun Batt seven minutes from time, bundling in at the near post from Martyn Woolford's header back across goal.
Up to that point it had been all Watford, a game which looked like one between a team hoping to escape from the Championship and another fighting to stay in it. With their far more enterprising system and players, Watford were superior but could not match their imaginative approach play with the efficiency required to win.
"It was very hard to take," sighed Zola afterwards. "We paid very costly for the fact we were not as precise and clinical as we normally are. Our finishing was very poor and that was the difference, we created enough chances to win two games."
Troy Deeney could have scored four. At the start of the first half he spun and shot over before outmuscling Adam Smith and shooting at David Forde's legs from close range. At the start of the second half he met Daniel Pudil's cross at the near post but had his first shot saved and his follow-up blocked by Jimmy Abdou. Ikechi Anya and Matej Vydra went close from distance and Watford spent nearly the whole game with the ball in Millwall's half.
Watford might have had penalties for a first-half push on Deeney and a second-half handball by Danny Shittu. "I don't understand what we have to do to get a penalty when we play," said Zola, "it is not the first time it has happened."
The lowlight, probably, was with 10 minutes left when an offside Alexandre Geijo stole the ball from an onside Mateij Vydra who was through on goal. Millwall went straight down the other end and scored, Almunia palming James Henry's shot into Woolford's path.
It was an implausible outcome given how Millwall spent so much of the evening on the back foot. The usual atmosphere took an hour to develop, and there was an early feeling that the crowd had almost been shamed by the events of three days before. The usual tension and noise seemed to have been lanced, and the 1,500 Watford fans were far louder.
Millwall, while being starved of the ball, did create isolated chances. Andy Keogh headed at Manuel Almunia from Henry's clever set-up in the first half. Late in the second half, before their goal, another cross from the impressive Henry found Woolford, who headed wide.
But Woolford's next intervention was successful, Millwall won and climbed up to 16th in the table. "You can't underestimate the three points, they're massive," said assistant manager Joe Gallen. "It's a huge relief."
For Zola, though, there was only regret, as his side stayed six points behind Hull with just three games left. He was asked if Watford were now heading for the play-offs. "It looks like it," he admitted.
Millwall (4-2-3-1): Forde; A Smith, Shittu, Beevers, Lowry; J Smith, Abdou; Henry, Keogh, C Taylor (Woolford, 36); Easter (Batt, 63). Substitutes not used M Taylor, Dunne, Osborne, Wright, Hulse
Watford (3-5-2): Almunia; Doyley, Ekstrand, Briggs; Anya, Yeates (Forestieri, 79), Chalobah, Battocchio, Pudil (Abdi, 79); Vydra, Deeney (Geijo, 70). Substitutes not used Bond, Thompson, Hogg, Murray

Beulah M. Hendricks
FARGO, N.D. — Beulah May Hendricks passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2011, at the Meritcare Health System Hospital in Fargo, N.D.
She worked hard and lived life to the fullest with a great love for family and friends, gardening, supporting the community, and the beauty of Northern Minnesota. She graduated from Walker High School before starting work as a cook for a neighboring dairy farm and then held a job doing laundry at Ah-Gwah-Ching, before working at the Register of Deeds Office. When Mr. Peterson retired she was appointed County Recorder and served in this position until her retirement. She was the president and owner of the Cass County Abstract Company and served as the first woman president of the Minnesota Land and Title Association.
Beulah's garden was amazing. She planted over a 100 dahlia bulbs each year, had a vegetable garden that her family lovingly joked could feed an army, and baked 50-100 apple pies each year from her own apple trees. She survived the long Minnesota winters gleefully reviewing seed catalogs to plan for the next summer.
She also had a passion and gift for sewing and crocheting, making many hats, mittens, quilts, tablecloths, doll clothes, and bedspreads for family and those in need. She won top honors at the Minnesota State Fair for a crocheted tablecloth.
An avid outdoorswoman she took her son deer hunting to shoot his first deer at 11 and helped him run a trap line to earn spending money. She had a great love for nature and being outside.
Beulah was a member of the League of Women Voters, Minnesota Federation of Business and Professional Women's Club, Rebekah Lodge, Walker Chamber of Commerce, Leader of the Leech Lake Live Wires 4H Club, The Home Study Club and various other organizations. She was also a member of the Hope Lutheran Church where she served in a leadership capacity. She often brought fresh vegetables from her garden to church, and for the Lutefisk supper one year supplied seven or eight bushels of potatoes!
She inspired many with her incredibly positive outlook, drive to succeed in life and being true to herself living as she wanted. She is predeceased by her parents; sister, Thelma Marie Deibel; and grandson, John Brian Hendricks. Beulah is survived by her son, Bill Hendricks and his wife, Mary Hendricks, of Pine River; grandchildren, Stephanie Reynolds and her husband Bryon, of Chandler, Ariz., Katherine Loscalzo and her husband, Anthony, of Montclair, N.J.; great-grandchildren, Abigail Reynolds and Ella and Caroline Loscalzo.
Family and friends are invited to attend the visitation and funeral. The visitation will be held on Monday, Dec. 5, from 5-7 p.m. at Hope Lutheran Church, 305 10th St., Walker. The funeral service will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 11 a.m. Hope Lutheran Church. Burial will be at the Evergreen Cemetery in Walker.
Those who wish may send a remembrance in her name to Hope Lutheran Church, P.O. Box 506, Walker, MN 56484.
Arrangements are with Kline Funeral Home, Pine River.
