Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
On the Aus delivered Laredos that come with the 431 Media Center, does this have GPS/Nav? or do you need to upgrade to the 731?
Side note, Dealer tried to quote $3500 to upgrade to the 731 U Connect media system, damn thats an expensive unit, big rip off.
Re: Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
From what I have seen the 430 does not have Nav and Nav is not an option you can get on a 430.
From the sales brochure, it looks like the Laredo does not have any option to upgrade, only the Limited can upgrade.
The $3500 upgrade cost is for a Luxury Group 2 option and has power liftgate & heated wheel as some of the inclusions on this package.
Re: Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
Hmm.. Just cause on the quote i was given it says "u connect sat nav - $3500" Doesnt mention anything else. Maybe they are just trying to use it to boost the price. They seem to be charging more than others for the CRD Laredo.
Although that means there is an option to upgrade in the Laredo, but i think the dealer does the upgrade maybe.
Re: Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
I wouldn't worry about paying that price for the integrated option, separate GPS at 1/5 the cost are better IMHO
Re: Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
You can get the nav radio fitted on its own for around $2200. Enforcer is right $3500 covers the luxury group which is factory fit only anyway so don't pay full price for it.
Re: Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
Yeah i have a small external GPS anyway, was just wondering about the base unit.
I barely even use GPS, definitly not $2000 worth lol
Re: Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
If you really want one then get the unit from here http://www.mygigs.eu/order-now/
Australian navigation from $1650.
Re: Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
The big issue that I find with factory inbuilt GPS is the time to obtain an updated mapping, and that update's cost.
It seems car manufacturers are still clinging onto prices of 10 years ago. Maybe this is because they cannot get lower pricing until they volume sell, and they cannot volume sell because buyers can get aftermarket at a fraction of the price.
Re: Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
Re: Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
the RHP comes with luxury group package, and mine has a few problems, seems only in country victoria,
map not verified,
suppose first service will sort it
Re: Aus Laredo Media Unit (431)
i live in country WA, every where i go it says map not verified.

3: yes. 1&2 cannot co-exist.
This is a discussion on Adolf Hitler in Custody Battle within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; From The Inquisitr | News __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Adolf Hitler is one of the most evil men to ever walk the face of the planet. ...
From The Inquisitr | News
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________________
Adolf Hitler is one of the most evil men to ever walk the face of the planet. He also happens to be a little boy in New Jersey. Adolf Hitler Campbell was taken away from his parents in 2009 because welfare officials said that his name was a form of abuse.
And Adolf Hitler isn't the only strange name in the Campbell family. Heath and Deborah Campbell named their daughter JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell. But is an offensive name reason enough to divide a family?
Here's a news report filmed shortly after Adolf Hitler was taken away from his parents.
Adolf Hitler & Sisters Taken from Parents - YouTube
Yahoo! News reports that the Campbells are fighting to get their children back. The Campbell's say that Adolf Hitler was wrongfully taken away since there was no evidence of abuse.
Heath said:
"The judge and [the Division of Youth and Family Services) told us that there was no evidence of abuse and that it was the names. They were taken over the children's names."
Ms. Campbell added:
"I don't sleep, I don't eat much. I miss my kids. Miss their pitter patters on the floor."
The Campbell's insist that they are not neo-Nazi supporters, despite the fact that their home is decorated with swastikas. But even if the Campbells are neo-Nazis, does that mean that they aren't allowed to have children?
If Gwenyth Paltrow can name her daughter Apple. If Jason Lee can name his son Pilot Inspektor. If Bob Geldof can name his kids Fifi-Trixibelle, Peaches, Little Trixie, and Honeyblossom, then why can't the Campbells name their son Adolph?
Kids are going to be subjected to all of their parents beliefs and flaws. Whether the parents are Nazis, uber-christian preachers, extreme right nut jobs, or liberal lefty pot heads, they have the right to raise their children how they choose. Right?
Or does naming your kid Adolf Hitler cross a line?
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________________________
My take:
1) I think parents should be licensed before guns
2) When does the state have the right to step into a family based on the values they raise their kids by, think on that can of worms for a moment
3) Is there a fascist irony going on here

3: yes. 1&2 cannot co-exist.
It could be worse!
I suppose
First off, I think Adolf Hitler was a coward scumbag and I am extremely proud to be the Grandson of one of the men who stood up to the SOB (and he volunteered, he could have avoided the draft if he wanted to because he worked for the Government at the time.) Second, I am not a racist. I believe the KKK and the Aryan Nation are a bunch of inbred backwoods idiots that make the rest of us Southerners look bad.
That said, I don't believe the Government has a right to come into someone's home and kidnap their child for anything short of an actual crime (as in assault.) I think he's scum, but I will die for his right to hold whatever political and religious beliefs he chooses. We have a right to freedom of speech, not just speech that is considered PC, all speech and all differing opinions. That's what this country was founded on. It's not a perfect system. Feelings WILL get hurt. Get over it.
Now, when that kid acts on his parent's instructions and starts killing Jews/Blacks/Whatever put him and his parents under the jail.
Ron Paul 2012
There are three kinds of Yankees: Yankees, Damn Yankees, and Floridians
By taking the kids away for naming them these things, the state has become like that which it is objecting to.
While the names are in poor taste, and undoubtedly will bring the children grief, it is still parental privilege and I don't condone the state's actions.
I believe that the government did not like what the kids were being taught. They expanded the definition of abuse to include what name you give your children in order to enforce their beliefs on the family.
Frank Zappa named his children Dweezil and Moon Unit. Apparently, that falls within the government standards for what constitutes a fit parent.
I think giving children oddball names is stupid, but then I think the current trend of blacks to give their children names like Shaquan that let a prospective employer know from looking at a resume that the applicant is black, isn't doing their children much of a service either.
Still, I don't think naming children is something the government should get involved in. Children can and do overcome unusual names. Barack Hussein showed us that.
I remember this family from a birthday cake issue a few years back.
Little 'Adolf Hitler' Denied Birthday Cake at New Jersey Grocery Store - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com
I don't have a very high opinion of the parents, but I'd rather see the kids stay with their family. The boy can always change his name when he turns 18.
Child Protective Services (however named by the different states) seems to be a necessary evil but from what I've seen has WAY to much power; They can
(and do) act on a simple accusation with no right to confront or even identify your accuser, capricious and arbitrary interpretations of their guidelines, and once in the system it's devilishly hard to get free whether one is guilty or not. Admittedly, all of my knowledge comes from the state of California so it could be different elsewhere.
Regarding this current case, the last I knew there is no law regulating which names are acceptable. Let the heads roll!

I'd expect no less out of the state of NJ, or CA for that matter. Next thing you know, when a child is born they will give you a list of acceptable names to choose from. If you don't like any of the names on the list, they will pick one for you.

Unfortunately I don't see this ending well for the kids either way.
"Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense."

While I do think these parents should have their license reviewed for excessive stupidity, I say the same to my friend who named his son Phineas. (He didn't take my suggestion of Vladimir) last time I checked however, there is no law regarding acceptable names anywhere in the U.S.
It seems the only abuse is coming from the state, persecuting the family for not being PC. As the saying goes, "I may disagree with your opinion but will defend to the death your right to speak it.'
So if NJ intends to keep these children from their natural, albeit controversial, parents, do they intend to force the children to get new names? How far over the line will this go?

The STATE should have nothing to say about what parents name their child, no matter how stupid we think it is.
We had a girl in HS that had the name, IMA, and her last name was Hogg. I think someone should have B-slapped her parents. She was a very nice person, and if anyone said anything about her name,.... everyone was on them in a flash.

Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
They ought to name the parents both "Adolph Hitler" and let then see how life changes.
Damned nazi screwed up a good mustache style for everyone!

Rent overseas before you buy. That's good advice for anyone looking to try a new country on for size. Despite its incredibly low real estate costs, Ecuador is no exception.
(After all, not everybody wants to buy a two-bedroom beach condo or an apartment in an historic World Heritage city for less than $50,000.)
Fortunately, rental costs in Ecuador are very affordable, too.
In Cotacachi—the sweet Andean artisan village where I live—an expat who has decided to move to the coast, recently sent out this e-mail: "I have an apartment for rent that, for the money, is a great deal. It is a completely bare, one-bedroom place (no fridge, stove or anything else), but for $100 a month it is a great space."
Of course, an unfurnished apartment means you'll need to buy furniture. But still, an apartment with a monthly price tag that's the cost of a fancy meal back home? Not a bad deal.
Admittedly, furnished rentals are harder to come by here in Cotacachi, thanks to the growing number of expats coming to check out the lifestyle options of our quiet little village. Still, we know of furnished rentals available for about $200 a month. And it's possible to sublet a home or apartment short-term from a fellow expat who's going back to the States or Canada for a visit.
Rent in the larger cities in Ecuador
In larger cities, like cosmopolitan Quito or popular Cuenca, you may pay more. But not a lot: $500 to $600 a month gets you a furnished three-bedroom apartment in central Quito.
In Cuenca, a two- or three-bedroom apartment or house (maybe near the river) rents for around $400 a month.
In rural Vilcabamba in southern Ecuador…at a lower elevation and therefore warmer than Quito, Cuenca or Cotacachi…an expat couple has renovated a 6,000-square-foot house and is offering fully furnished and equipped apartments for rent. You can rent a room with a shared kitchen for $180 a month or a three-bedroom apartment for $550 a month.
The cost of living is also low in Ecuador
So what are you waiting for? Daily living costs in Ecuador are so affordable…even more so when you have a kitchen to cook in. At the local farmers' markets you can buy enough fresh produce for $5 to last you a week or more. Bakeries sell fresh bread hot from the oven for 50 cents or less. Delicious 22-ounce bottles of Pilsener beer sell for 75 cents. You can get your haircut for $3, hire someone to clean your apartment for $5 or +$10, take the bus anywhere in the country for about $1 an hour…
Whether it's for a month or a year or forever…now is the time to check out Ecuador.

On, off, on, off... it's so confusing. Are they an item or not?
It's quite simple. Jude Law, once married to actress Sadie Frost, cheated on Sienna Miller with his children's nanny. The nanny spilled the beans in a kiss-and-tell with the Sunday Mirror. Law publicly apologised to her. Sienna forgave him and he then dumped her for cheating on him with actor Daniel Craig, who is one of Jude's best friends and once slept with Kate Moss. The News of the World alleged Jude has also slept with Kate - in a threesome with his then wife Sadie. It's all par for the course for the Primrose Hill set, whose 'debauched goings-on', as the Daily Mail disapprovingly calls them, frequently get tabloid hacks hot under the collar.
Should we care?
Well, there are obviously more important things going on in the world - earthquakes, hurricanes, wars - but for the redtops it's a modern morality tale. The doyennes of Fleet Street couldn't wait to get stuck in when Jude's infidelity was first revealed. Vanessa Feltz wrote in her Daily Express column that the affair exploded the 'myth that beauty equals happiness while extreme beauty guarantees an exquisite existence'. In the Sun, Jane Moore - happily married and a parent - doled out some motherly advice. Amid reports that they were attempting a reconciliation, she wrote: 'It looks like Sienna has dumped him. And I sincerely hope she has the strength to keep it that way.'
The story is also great for circulation. Actress Sienna, with her fashion-icon status, and Jude, a Hollywood film star, are perfect fodder (though apparently it's the more down-to-earth Jessie Wallace, who plays Kat Slater in EastEnders, that gives the Mirror its biggest boost).
But it's a story for the girls, right?
Au contraire: the Mirror asked 'five wise men', including its political columnist Paul Routledge, for advice on how Law could win back Sienna. 'His first tactic (I'm sorry, duty) is to go down on bended knee - quite literally, if necessary - and grovel,' he opined.
What did the papers think about Sienna's fling with Daniel Craig?
The Mirror's sassy columnist Sue Carroll was overjoyed. 'Finally it seems Sienna Miller has wreaked revenge on her two-timing fiance Jude Law ... Sooner or later she was bound to even the score ... Game over, I'd say.' Most agreed that Jude was still a love rat and Sienna was getting even. Not so the Mail, the paper that prides itself on upholding family values. Sienna appeared on its 'going down' chart. Why? She is 'no better than her cheating boyfriend', it reprimanded.
Anyone else have a view?
Oh yes. Sun page 3 girl Keely, 19, from Kent, weighed in on the News in Briefs slot: 'They have both been unfaithful now. Maybe they should consider things equal and start again.'
Hold on a minute, isn't Daniel Craig going to be the new James Bond?
That's right - and Sienna is being touted as a Bond girl. The Sun suggests Jude could play Dr Can't Say No. In its leader, the paper thought: 'Wouldn't it be great if Jude Law played the baddie? The love scenes would really sizzle. And so would the fights.' Indeed.
So is that the end of it?
Good grief no. Days after Sienna's fling was exposed, Jude went to a Parisian night club with actress Salma Hayek, where, according to the Mirror, they looked 'extremely friendly'. Sienna burst into tears and 'ranted', even though they've split up. The soap opera continues, but don't worry: the tabloids and their army of tipsters, sources, 'onlookers' and 'insiders' will make sure we won't miss an instalment.

Hi Jay.
Funny, didn't realise the https move has not affected the old FMBL apps. All works fine on your page. The main problem you can find is that sooner or later FB will deprecate the FBML , and you'll need to move on iFrames and SSL , i'm afraid. But meanwhile, enjoy the exclusivity!
Thought that was what had happened, i guess it would be wise to anticipate the inevitable time when the pages will require iframes and ssl. Ill get to work on updating them
Hey Pez,
Wondering if you could help me out. Im using a couple of Flash facebook pages on my facebook page here…https://www.facebook.com/TeachersPetUK
The pages seem to be working fine at the moment, however, do i need to make any changes to the server serving the files to facebook, or will these pages continue to work. They use the OLD FBML style.
Awesome numbers, forum stats are wrong though, i should be on there
4 years…
Holy s… where did that go???

This is not good news, it's bad news.
So even if Flash may eventually disappear from browsers, it remains an excellent cross-platform technology.
Let me split that up:
1. Flash [may eventually] / will disappear from browsers.I hope they are really pushing Flash on the desktop/browsers, otherwise Flash is doomed.
2. it remains an excellent cross-platform technology / it isn't, and it won't be, for anything more than games.
Yup, Flash is strugging, got myself a Job as a Flex developer for web/desktop/mobile, spent a long time looking for fulltime Flash work and struggled…
I really really hope flash makes a comeback, but in the meantime i'm happy using AS and Flex for software development
Gotta agree with the reviewers on this one, just for the fonts alone…

Sectors beyond politics crying out for attention
Politics may be the subject that dominates our media, casual conversation, perhaps even pillow talk. And a lot does depend on the outcome of the political clash and contrast of ideas.
But political discussion is not the end of life's affairs. Meanwhile, beyond interminable internecine politics, life goes on.
The disabled remain disabled and at serious disadvantage in life. Despite the efforts of the National Commission for Persons with Disability, a considerable number of public and private buildings remain inaccessible to those who are challenged in their movement.
Despite the existence of a substantial social security network, many individuals with disabilities still cannot live as independently as they could be allowed to do.
Parents and other carers of many disabled people are still worried sick about what will happen to their loved ones when they are gone or even before that when the years catch up with them.
They still urge and press for adequate houses to be built, perhaps on a parents-public partnership basis, where disabled people who need them can live in the company of others with necessary but unintrusive assistance by the state.
The disabled still hope that enough of them are recognised as individuals able to contribute to society, to add value in the work force too. They are still surprised to learn that there is decades-old legislation that specifies employers above a certain size should offer a percentage of openings to people with disabilities and that this condition is far more honoured in the breach than in observance.
Also, notwithstanding the social security network, there remain thousands of families and individuals who live in absolute poverty. They are not poor in relation to others who are better off – they are poor in relation to themselves. They cannot have even the basic requisites of a threadbare life.
Then there are many, many more thousands of individuals at risk of poverty, whose income is below the prevailing median income. Theirs is called relative poverty – they do not have access to a number of consumables that are considered basic to decent living.
They include several thousand employees on the minimum wage, which – as Caritas has again pointed out – does not go far enough to ensure decent living. Despite the independent and politically untainted efforts of Caritas, no guarantee has been given that the minimum wage will be revised.
So much for the ritual patting on the back Caritas received when it published its report on living conditions a few months ago. The poor, it seems, will not only be with us for always, but also in unacceptable numbers.
Notwithstanding the many good things done in recent years, the fine colleges that have been built and the state-of-the-art facilities within them, the level of our education is still not what it should be. It can never be perfect. But unacceptable gaps remain.
This was pointed out yesterday in a strong analytical article by the shadow spokesman on education, Evarist Bartolo, in MaltaToday.
Mr Bartolo dissected the latest report on the Sec results. A good number of students did well and were understandably lauded by the Education Ministry. But what of those who did not make it? Who did not acquire grades that are meaningful both to further studies and to get a job. Many employers, for instance, do not only look at the number of passes a job applicant has acquired – they look at the grades and frown if they see a six or a seven. A five is just about tolerable.
And what of those who did not sit for Sec examinations because of low self-esteem or lack of motivation? Or others who failed to turn up for their exams?
That is not to belittle the strong efforts made to move the education level upward, in the knowledge that a well-rounded personality as well as economic growth depend on a society with a high standard of educational achievement at all levels.
Successive ministers of education, including the present one, Dolores Cristina, have pursued that objective. But so much more remains to be done.
There are many other sectors beyond politics that cry out for attention. And that attention must be given from within the political field.
Instead of focusing on what needs to be done, our politicians spend endless time on internal or external warfare and self-interest. There is too much futility in this land of milk and honey.

They contacted me and I was skeptical, but agreed to try it. They gave me nothing at the end of the month ...no listing information, no information about usage etc, and continued to charge my credit card every month for no services. I only found out because I had changed my CC at which point they contacted me to get updated CC information.
When I was alarmed at the fact I had paid 100's of dollars and had never recieved anything ...not one customer call, not one report, nothing!, they told me the only thing they could do -going forward- was to lower the rate, when that wasn't an option, they sent me to a collection agency ...(CANADA LEGAL REFERRAL - John De Murtas)
for the one month which had not been paid since the CC change and an additional month because it was after I hadn't made the decision to continue the service at a reduced rate.
When I asked where the ad was listed, it took several attempts to find it on the internet, and even then you would have to be a very patient consumer to put in exactly letter for letter the right name.
I could have 100's of FREE listings in better locations with better results once again ...for FREE.
They were not satisfied that I was completely unhappy with this listing and the fact that they had received several months of payments regardless, but then to put me in collection for additional months which I hadn't agreed to is such a disgrace to any ligitimate company, it sickens me they can do this and it sickens me that legal companies use these situations to their advantage.

Rob McFarland spends a night in beautiful waters once better known as a home to lawless ruffians.
New Zealand is hardly short of picturesque holiday spots but the Bay of Islands, located three hours' drive north of Auckland, is particularly idyllic. The natural bay provides a sheltered haven for boat lovers with dozens of islands to explore and plenty of coves and inlets in which to moor.
Looking at this tranquil picture today, it's hard to believe it was once known as the "hell hole of the Pacific". But if you'd visited the town of Russell in the early 1800s, you'd have found a lawless outpost famous for its drunkenness, gambling and prostitution. Sadly, I couldn't find any evidence of this but I did stumble across a fascinating museum and several excellent cafes.
This insight into Russell's colourful past is one of many things I've learnt about the region while on board Ipipiri, a new catamaran that offers overnight cruises around the bay.
Ipipiri's owners claim it's the largest cruising vessel permanently based in New Zealand and at 46 metres long and 11 metres high, it certainly towers above everything around it in Opua harbour.
After being welcomed on board by the boat's smartly dressed crew, we tuck into a selection of warm, homemade blueberry muffins while ship's master Robbie briefs us on safety.
And then we're off, cruising up the Veronica Channel past yachts, powerboats, dinghies and tall ships and admiring the decadent holiday homes on the tree-lined foreshore.
With scenery this mesmerising, it'd be easy to explore the Bay of Islands and be blissfully unaware of its historical significance. Robbie's commentary takes care of this. We learn about the violent tussles between the French and the Maoris and see where the New Zealand Declaration of Independence (1835) and the Treaty of Waitangi (1840) were signed.
After entering the main part of the bay and passing the islands of Motuarohia and Moturua, we drop anchor in a sheltered cove to the south of Urupukapuka Island.
A few of us paddle out in sea kayaks while others are dropped ashore by tender for a bushwalk. Ipipiri has a hydraulic platform at its stern which allows kayaks and tenders to be lowered into the water. There is also the option to snorkel or have a swim off the boat.
We anchor for the night in Parekura Bay and while the boat gently rocks on its mooring, everyone congregates at the bar for a pre-dinner drink. Given we're a captive audience and a long swim from the nearest bottle shop, I take a deep breath before opening the bar menu. But it's not too bad. House wine is $NZ25 ($20) a bottle and beers and spirits are around $NZ6 a pop.
Dinner is served in the boat's large, open-plan dining area. The food is hearty and plentiful with options including Thai curry, chicken chasseur and beef lasagne for main, and pavlova, mud cake and a devilishly more-ish cheesecake for dessert.
There are no TVs or internet access on board so after-dinner entertainment consists of board games or lying on the top deck admiring the stars. I choose the latter and am treated to a spectacularly busy night sky punctuated by satellites and shooting stars.
Unless you're on a five-star cruise ship, sleep doesn't always come easily on boats. They're not renowned for space and comfort and often groan and creak. Here Ipipiri excels. Each of its 30 ensuite cabins has either a twin or king bed and feels more like a hotel room. Decoration is tasteful, with dark woods and thick-pile carpet. Three panoramic windows provide a hypnotic view and the en suite, while compact, is functional with a decent shower.
As we cruise back after breakfast the following morning, I find myself wishing I was staying another night. The boat has to be back at Opua at 10.30am to depart again at 1pm, which has made the overnight experience feel a little rushed. A two-night itinerary or a one-night, two-full-day alternative would feel more leisurely.
Other than that, it's a delightfully relaxing way of exploring one of New Zealand's most scenic spots.

Who do you want to win tonight's Super Bowl?
Who do you want to win tonight's Super Bowl?
I chose the Giants...even though they weren't an option....
Mood: WOOF!
After all that was said and done this past week, both teams make me sick. But I have to go with the Ravens.
Ravens. Tired of hearing the Niners whine about us beating their *****es the past 2 years.
Ravens. Tired of all the whining, and inkman kissing his biceps.
I hate both teams, so I really don't care either way
Guys, come on, how many times did the Giants say they beat themselves last year?
This is a tough one. Not a fan of Kaperdoodle or Lewis, but I guess I'll stick with NFC and root for 9ers...wait...No..Ravens...er...No..ah..
Whoever vs Who cares.........GO GIANTS!!!
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.

To any true vinyl obsessive, a rare musical artifact — and the story behind it — is often as compelling as the sound in its grooves. The Beatles' quickly withdrawn "Butcher Cover" is a far more interesting, and valuable, find than the version on the American release of Yesterday and Today.
In the case of the '70s soul artist named "Mingering Mike" Stevens — whose album covers have come to be regarded as prized pieces of folk art, and who is the subject of the new book Mingering Mike — there exists little actual audio at all. Here was a mastermind behind some 50 albums, as many singles, and 35 record labels — but almost nothing that could have been played on a stereo system.
Still, albums can connect with people in more ways than one. And sometimes the sound an LP produces is just one of those ways. Shared obsession is another. That's what connects Mingering Mike, who had vanished for decades, with a private detective from DC. Dori Hadar found Mingering Mike, and his journey led to a poignant book by this first-time author.
It all began on a cold December morning in 2003. Hadar, a criminal investigator by day and a DJ by night, was wading through bins of old LPs at a DC flea market. As a long-time crate digger addicted to the thrill of the hunt and the buzz of discovery, he had amassed tons of rare titles over the years. "For me, it's all about finding the weirdest record," he says now over the phone from DC.
What he stumbled on that day was a bizarre treasure trove. The first LP in the stack was The Mingering Mike Show — Live from the Howard Theater, and it was just one of dozens with the Mingering Mike moniker. Hand-drawn and colored, these LP covers depicted an assortment of African-American artists besides Mike: "Audio Andre," "Joseph War," "The Big D," "Rambling Ralph." To Hadar's further bafflement, the LPs themselves were made of cardboard, with hand-drawn and painted grooves circling an array of homemade labels he'd never heard of: Tip of the Hat, Mother Goose, Hypnotic, Sex, and, yes, Fake Records.
"I'm pulling out these records and there's one called Brother of the Dragon, and it's like a kung fu soundtrack, but the record is made out of cardboard," Hadar recalls. "My initial thought was that it must have been some high-school art project, but there were too many of them. And then I thought, maybe these are sketches or prototypes for albums that were in the works. I didn't understand at all, but they were so detailed and so cool, there was no way I was going to pass on them. No way."
Stumped, Hadar posted scans of the LP covers on the on-line record-collecting site www.soulstrut.com and soon began receiving responses from equally intrigued vinyl junkies. One came from Frank Beylotte, an acquaintance from DC who had been to the same flea market and had picked up a stack of cardboard 45s by Mingering Mike. Beylotte and Hadar later found out that the stash had come from the storage unit of one Mike Stevens, whose "LPs" and other valuables had been auctioned off after he'd fallen behind in his rent.

While I usually try to be more positive with these questions, yesterday's post about the Washington Post food critic being disappointed with Birch & Barley got me wondering about other "onetime trendsetters". Do you have any restaurants/bars that you used to love when they first opened but no longer like them now? If so, what changed?

We were poring through financial statements of the top mobile manufacturers recently for a research, and noticed that at one point RIM just says they will no longer include the ASP (Average Selling Price) metric in the quarterly releases. RIM's average selling price has long been second only to Apple, considering the outdated hardware sold at top-shelf prices.
Reluctance to continue disclosing it may mean only one thing - it is heading down in the next quarters, and RIM is perfectly aware of that, while it goes through a transitional period. Well, shareholders are obviously not very kosher with insufficient financial information disclosures, and that's why they are charging ahead with the class-action. Such lawsuits are a dime a dozen, but we are curious if this will affect RIM's quarterly reports in the months to come. The Canadian company denies any wrongdoing, of course, not to mention that its lawyers have the word "projections" on their side.

Week 12: Super Sleepers
WR Brandon LaFell, CIN
In Week 11 vs. New England, Brandon LaFell grabbed seven passes for 59 yards and a score -- his fourth of the season and first since Week 6. LaFell caught seven of his eight targets and led the team. This is encouraging as he enters Week 12 against a Miami defense that has given up the third fewest fantasy points to wide outs this season. The match-up is difficult on paper, but if LaFell is seeing the most targets, he is still likely to be productive. This week he is a WR4 in most leagues, but might be moved up to WR3 status in deep leagues.
TE Mychal Rivera, JAX
Mychal Rivera has only shown his fantasy prowess twice this season -- Week 4 was productive with 44 receiving yards and a score and last week he grabbed a season-high five passes for 54 yards and a score. In Week 12 he faces a Tennessee pass defense that has given up the eighth most fantasy points to TEs. With Matt McGloin replacing Terrelle Pryor, the Oakland passing attack has seen some new looks and Rivera has capitalized on his opportunities. I expect this synergy to continue this week and Rivera should continue to see more targets. He is the third option in most passing schemes, but if McGloin needs a saftey valve then Rivera is likely his man.

MW3 Wheels/Tires?
Does anyone know where I can get the 2012 Wrangler MW3 Wheels/Tires? What kin of tires are they? Thanks!
Classifieds on this or other Jeep forums? Craigslist? E-bay?
All just guesses on my part.
Welcome to WF.
Plasti-Dip a set of Rubi Takeoffs.
My recollection is they're just the standard Rubicon wheels/tires, but painted with black wheel paint. Thus, from a price standpoint, you're likely to be much better off picking up a set of Rubi takeoffs and hitting them with some wheel paint, bedliner, or plasti-dip.

MTH is correct u can simply pick up Rubi rims paint them out flat black would be even better and add the tires( trigard 3 ply sidewall MUD-terrain T/a. 255/75r17.

Just Plasti Dipped mine 2 days ago. They turned out great. It's a lot of work. The main thing to make sure of is that you clean them well before doing it. I put about 8-10 coats per wheel.

Michael Dugher appointed Labour Party Vice Chair
Michael Dugher MP has been appointed Labour Party Vice Chair with responsibility for Communications strategy, says Vincent Moss:
Excl: @ed_miliband has told Labour MPs he's appointed @michaeldughermp as Labour vice-chair in charge of comms. strategy
— Vincent Moss (@vincentmoss) November 8, 2012
Dugher is also a member of the shadow cabinet (without portfolio), and is often used in an "attack" role by the party – so this new role isn't too much of a surprise, considering his experience as a media adviser in Number 10 under Gordon Brown. Effectively this formalises the role that Dugher has been filling over the last year.
Update: A Labour source tells us that "Ed wanted some strategic shadow cabinet level" thinking on comms. This is part of a "beefing up" of Labour's comms team and expanding the reach. However Dugher has had this role for a while already, it seems, and the consensus is that this is a formalising of his existing role.

Mike Leach Agrees To Become Next Head Coach Of Washington State
Former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach has "verbally agreed" to become the next head coach of Washington State University, according to CBS Sports.
Leach will replace Paull Wulff, who was fired by the school Tuesday. Wulff had one year remaining in his five-year contract with WSU. During his tenure, the Cougars had a 9-40 record and were 4-8 this year.
Leach, who has 23-years of coaching experience, hasn't coached in two years. He currently hosts college football talk shows for CBS College Sports and Sirius satellite radio. The 50-year-old coached for 10 seasons at Texas Tech where he had an 84-43 record. Known for his pass offenses, Leach never had a losing season and took the Red Raiders to a bowl game every year. Texas Tech fired Leach when he refused to apologize to receiver Adam James, for "…actions that put James at risk for further injury," according to school officials.

My 2004 expedition rear air unit is making a clicking noise every time I turn it on, the good thing is that cool and warm are come out but I just don't know what it is? any advise?
Clicking in the rear air unit on 2004 Ford Expedition
(2) Answers
it is your rear a/c door blend acuator most likely. easy to fix. simply remove the plastic inside body panels on the passenger side in the rear cargo area. This will expose two boxes. The lower one is the blend acuator.
Noises are tricky, the first thing to do is locate the source of the noise, then try to determine what it takes to fix the noise. The noise can be a sign that something is about to break, so I would get it looked at before that happens, maybe the next time you have it in for a service.

Thanks Rachael! I started last June and did most of what is there. I was hand piecing so I was only doing a couple of blocks a week. When we decided that we would do it as a group I put it away so I could do it with everyone else. I am now machine piecing so I can keep up with the group.

UNMOVIC/IAEA Press Statement on Inspection Activities in Iraq, 13 December 2002
An UNMOVIC team went to inspect the Communicable Diseases Control Centre in Baghdad today. The Centre is a government facility under the Ministry of Health. This site was included in the Iraqi declaration of 1 October 2002 and is a new site. The same team had confirmed the location of the site on 10 December and decided to inspect the site today.
The team arrived at the site at 9:00 a.m. As today is a Muslim holy day, the site had only one guard and a duty officer, who is an assistant technician. The duty officer did not have the keys to the rooms and could not locate the central key holder. The team then decided to tag seals on several rooms they wanted to inspect later. In the process, question arose on the procedures for tagging. At this point, decision was made to get the Iraqi National Monitoring Directorate involved. The Director of the Baghdad Ongoing Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Centre, Miroslav Gregoric, and General Hossam Amin of the NMD arrived at the site, and the matter was resolved quickly. Seals were tagged on several rooms and the team left the site at around 1:00 p.m.
An UNMOVIC team inspected the Al Kadhimiya plant and the Shumouk stores adjacent to the plant. The site is involved with the Al Samood missile programme.
Another UNMOVIC team inspected the Al Mussaib Pesticide Store, which sells ready-to-use pesticides. The store had only one worker. On request, the National Monitoring Directorate brought two facility representatives with keys to all buildings and rooms. The team accomplished the inspection objectives.
The IAEA undertook hydrological sampling at three Major Iraq Surface Water Drainage Basins, of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers just south of the 33rd parallel. Several samples were taken at each site including water, sediment and vegetation. A separate IAEA team conducted a wide-area gamma survey of the Bahgdad area, which included the Karama Sumood missile facility.

North East Grapepickers
Coach (season, record): Tom Pyle (12th season at North East, 24th season overall, 197-72 at North East, 307-267 overall)
2010-11 overall record: 19-7
2010-11 region record (place): 8-2 (champion)
2010-11 playoff results: Defeated Reynolds 68-47, Mercyhurst Prep 41-37 in overtime and Sharpsville 48-45 to win the District 10 Class AA championship. North East then lost 44-43 to Summit Academy in the first round of the PIAA playoffs.
Top players lost: Kyle Regan, Spencer Cornelius, Aaron Wakley, Kyle Perdue, Daryl Brink
Top returning players: Cory Bailey, Tyler Johnson, Vincent Coletta, Tyler Davis, Josh Kitchen
Assistant coaches: Shawn Humes, Mike Coletta, Curtis Bailey, Davis Mazza, David Snippert, Steve Righi, Bob Righi, Steve Zielinski
Outlook: North East used a strong defenses and terrific work ethic last winter to gut out the District 10 Class AA championship. The Grapepickers need a similar effort this year with the loss of Kyle Regan, Spencer Cornelius, Aaron Wakley, Kyle Purdue and Daryl Brink to graduation. North East has plenty of holes to fill but the return of Cory Bailey and Tyler Johnson helps along with Vincent Coletta, Tyler Davis and Josh Kitchen. Bailey averaged 11 points per game last year, while Johnson is a tough defender. Coletta and Davis will take care of the post, while Kitchen averaged 5 points per game as a point guard last season. The 'Pickers are hoping to defending their region and district titles this winter and it could come down to them against Mercyhurst Prep once again. Zac Erb, Rocky Owens, Dawson Scotch, Blake Bentley, Steven Denny, Max Knight, Joe Neff and Matt Macaulay could all see playing time this winter and contribute on the varsity level. A big challenge in the schedule will be playing Mercyhurst and Fairview in back-to-back games, twice.

2010-11 playoff results: Defeated Meadville 61-36, lost to Franklin 63-40 and defeated General McLane 44-36 to be the third seed from District 10 in the PIAA playoffs. North East then lost to Blackhawk 77-59 in the first round of the PIAA playoffs.
Top players lost: Cassie Jordan, Jessa Tinko, Jessica Beardsley, Anna Zyricki
Top returning players: Alex Artise, Alexis Bowen, Anne Lewis, Tori Prather, Madi Turiczek, Leah Kowalewski
Assistant coaches: Dawn Turiczek, Pat Murphy, Matt Stark, Dave Zamperini
Outlook: North East has steadily improved under third-year coach Terry Frontino and will need some of the younger players to step up this year. With Cassie Jordan, Jessa Tinko, Jessica Beardsley and Anna Zyricki gone to graduation, the Grapepickers will be young and somewhat inexperienced. Alex Artise, a first-team all-region selection, returns along with Alexis Bowen, Anne Lewis, Tori Prather, Madi Turiczek and Leah Kowalewski. The group is all juniors and can build a strong foundation for next year. North East is quick with plenty of athleticism and chemistry but replacing a four-year starting point guard and leadership will be important. Region 6 is in transition right now with several new coaches and most teams returning some solid starters. North East has a strong group leading the way but the 'Pickers will need to develop some depth as the season goes on.

I missed some of the earlier posts on this thread being off Statalist
for a few days, but as far as I can see no-one has mentioned the program
-log2html- available from SSC (-ssc describe log2html-). This makes use
of an undocumented command -log html- to convert smcl log files to html.
As smcl files cannot contain graphics, this does not quite answer your
question, but it is a pretty straightforward process to get around this.
First, I write two new little commands: -htmlgph1- and -htmlgph2-.
-htmlgph1- exports a graph and writes the line of html to include it...
prog htmlgph1
syntax anything(name=filename id="filename") [, htmlopts(string) *]
qui graph export `filename', `options'
local filename `filename'
display as text `"<img src="`filename'" `htmlopts'>"
Now when log2html is run, it cleverly converts the "<" and ">" to "<"
and ">", so we need to change them back...
prog htmlgph2
syntax anything(name=filename id="filename")
tempfile f1 f2
tempname h1 h2
copy `filename' `f1'
file open `h1' using `f1', read
file open `h2' using `f2', write
file read `h1' newline
while r(eof)==0 {
if substr(`"`newline'"',1,12)=="<img src=" {
local newline : subinstr local newline "<" "<", all
local newline : subinstr local newline ">" ">", all
file write `h2' `"`newline'"' _n
file read `h1' newline
file close `h1'
file close `h2'
copy `f2' `filename', replace
So now the process is:
1. Log your output in a smcl log
2. Whenever you want a graph included in the log, export it with
-htmlgph1- instead of -graph export-
3. When you have finished, run -log2html- to convert the smcl file to
4. Run -htmlgph2- once to make the final corrections to the html file
You now have an html log file including graphics!
cd c:\temp\log2html
sysuse auto
log using test
sum price mpg
scatter price mpg
htmlgph1 graph1.wmf, htmlopts(width=100%)
log close
log2html test
htmlgph2 test.html
Hope this helps

Knollenberg, Walberg Repay Bush and Big Oil by Blocking Bill to Prevent Gas Price Gouging
Bush Loyalists Knollenberg, Walberg Serve as Hosts for Wednesday's Bush Fundraiser
On the eve of today's Michigan fundraising visit from President Bush, Representatives Joe Knollenberg and Tim Walberg repaid Bush and Big Oil again by blocking legislation that protects Michigan's consumers at the pump. Bush loyalists Knollenberg and Walberg are both serving as hosts for today's Bush fundraiser.
As gas prices and energy costs skyrocket this summer, the Federal Price Gouging Protection Act sponsored by Michigan Representative Bart Stupak would have provided consumers with immediate protection against price gouging by oil companies.
"Representatives Knollenberg and Walberg are so out of touch that they chose to repay President Bush and Big Oil for the tens of thousands they received in campaign contributions by blocking commonsense legislation that protects Michigan's consumers from gas price gouging," said Ryan Rudominer, Midwest Regional Press Secretary for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "With gas prices at $4.07, Michigan families cannot afford two more years of Representatives Knollenberg and Walberg's support for President Bush's failed energy policies that protect Big Oil special interests."
- The measure establishes civil and criminal penalties when retailers engage in price gouging, and permits states to bring lawsuits against those retailers.
- The Federal Price Gouging Prevention Act would provide consumers with immediate protection against price gouging. It allows the President to declare a state of "energy emergency" and prohibits price gouging in areas where an emergency has been declared.
- The Federal Price Gouging Protection Act, sponsored by Representative Bart Stupak, was brought up on the Suspension Calendar, which requires a 2/3 majority to pass a bill. 145 Republicans opposed this measure, causing it to fail to achieve this necessary 2/3 majority. [H.R. 6346; roll call vote # 448]
- Representatives Joe Knolleberg and Tim Walberg receive strong financial support from Big Oil. Representative Knollenberg has received $65,250 from Big Oil contributors. Representative Walberg has received $17,750 from Big Oil contributors. [OpenSecrets.org]
- Today, drivers in Michigan are paying $4.07 for a gallon of gas. [Fuel Gauge Report]

We may have loved Asus' 7in and 8.9in Eee PCs when they launched but the 10.2in Eee PC 1000H is where it's at now. That's a sentiment echoed by Asus President Jerry Shen who has announced that all but 10in Eee systems will be slowly phased out - with no plan of replacement.
The Eee PC's success only seems likely to grow as the company is set to adjust pricing of mid- and low-end systems. 2009 should even see the launch of a $200 (~£130) Eee PC model which would be a pretty compelling option in this ever more budget-constrained climate.
The Eee PC range is currently contributing to some 22 per cent of Asus' revenue, which is pretty remarkable for a product only introduced a year ago. Interestingly of its Eee shipments, hard drive-based systems are outselling those with SSDs by 70 percent to 30 per cent of all units sold. Presumably most consumers are still set in the "more storage is better" mentality, not caring about the benefits solid-state storage can offer.

You are herecontent / Cindy Sheehan's Big Week in Washington
Cindy Sheehan's Big Week in Washington
Cindy Sheehan's Big Week in Washington
The ailing peace movement finds new life in a grieving mom
by Sarah Ferguson
September 26th, 2005 2:24 PM
It's not easy being a professional peace mom—especially when everyone wants a piece of you. "I've been staying in a different place every night," says Cindy Sheehan, the 48-year-old California housewife who galvanized the anti-war movement and starred in the march against the Iraq war on Saturday in Washington, D.C.
Since she left her now famous Camp Casey—named for the 24-year-old son she lost in Iraq—outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, four weeks ago, Sheehan has been barnstorming the country, touring in a caravan of rented RVs and cars with some three dozen other military families and Vietnam and Iraq war vets. She and her fellow activists have been prowling the halls of Congress, insisting on face time with legislators. On Monday, Sheehan and several other parents of fallen soldiers were among some 370 activists arrested in a mass civil disobedience on the sidewalk outside the White House.
While right-wing critics like Rush Limbaugh like to suggest she's being bankrolled by Move On, Michael Moore, and other elements of the "limousine left," Sheehan's crusade is still very much a grassroots affair. When she and the rest of the Bring Them Home Now tour hit Washington this week to challenge Bush to meet with them and put the heat on Congress for funding the war, they crashed on couches and slept on bunkbeds at an international youth hostel.
That kind of dogged authenticity is the root of Sheehan's power. At Saturday's massive anti-war demonstration, she electrified the crowds with her plea not to let any more moms suffer the agony of losing a child in a war she says is unwinnable and "founded on lies." "We are here today because we don't want to see any more kids come home in coffins," she told the tens of thousands massed before her at the Ellipse. "How many more of other people's children are you willing to sacrifice for the lies?" she demanded, turning her anger toward Congress. "Shame on you for giving [Bush] the authority to invade Iraq."
It's a potent message, and one even hawkish supporters of the war like Senator Hillary Clinton are being forced to acknowledge. Not wanting to fall into the trap of looking callous for refusing a grieving mom, Clinton, Senate Minority leader Harry Reid, and even the chief of staff of Senate Majority leader Bill Frist agreed to sit down with the military families and Iraq war veterans who trooped through the Capitol all week. On Monday, Sheehan met with Indiana Democrat Dick Lugar, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee—part of a grassroots lobbying push that drew 700 antiwar campaigners to the Hill. Republican senator John McCain is scheduled for a meeting on Tuesday.
For extra motivation, the pols can turn to the polls. A record two thirds of the American public now disapproves of Bush's handling of the war in Iraq, and 52 percent think we should get out "as soon as possible." That's in contrast to an ABC News/Washington Post poll taken two months ago, when 58 percent of those asked said they supported keeping troops in Iraq "until civil order is restored, even if that means continued U.S. military casualties."
Saturday's march, estimated by police at something more than 100,000 people and by organizers at around 300,000, marked a revival of protest on a scale not seen since the start of the U.S. invasion in 2003. More significant than the size of the march was its tone. In contrast to the almost giddy Bush-bashing of previous demos, there was a sense of somber urgency brought by the presence of hundreds of military families and alienated Iraq war vets. Their voices have given the movement a new center of gravity.
"Just like Rosa Parks, Cindy Sheehan has triggered a public policy debate that's bigger than her as a personality," Reverend Jesse Jackson said backstage. "She's unleashed a dynamic that is calling into question the basis of this war.
"You can be against the war and win re-election now. You can be against the war and get elected," Jackson continued. "We have Republicans who are starting to turn on Bush. That was not true a year ago, before Cindy Sheehan and before Katrina."
And that's also why the right is doing its best to derail the Cindy bandwagon, casting her as an anti-American, "professional griever." Beyond dredging for dirt in her personal life, Republican operatives are now trotting out their own pro-military moms in an effort to blunt Sheehan's message. They launched a "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" cross-country bus tour, which arrived in Washington on Sunday.
Their rally drew only several hundred supporters to the Washington Mall, where they held up signs like "Freedom Isn't Free" and "Saddam Is a WMD" as they listened to speakers like Watergate thief-turned-radio-pundit G. Gordon Liddy, who accused Sheehan of "whoring the good name of her son" and carrying out a "left-wing socialist agenda."
Also speaking out was Temple, Texas, native Gary Qualls, whose 20-year-old son, Lance Cpl. Louis Qualls, was killed in Falluja last year. Qualls brandished a small white cross, pulled from a memorial Sheehan's group had set up in Crawford, with his kid's name painted on it. "This is the very first cross repossessed from Cindy Sheehan's unholy camp!" he declared, his face red with anger. "We need nothing but pure honor and respect for our service members and for our leader George Bush."
Sheehan offers no way out of this political conflict or this war, and it's hard to say what will become of her iconic status now that she's spun into the orbit of the anti-war left, with both national campaigns like Win Without War and every wing-nut wannabe seeking to glom on to her cause. Monday's civil disobedience ran the gamut of Code Pinkers and Naderites, anarch-kids and feminist boob-flashers, along with some guys roaming around in prison garb, with Abu Ghraib hoods over their heads.
"The whole world is watching," chanted the crowd of supporters as Sheehan took the first bust, blowing a kiss to her followers when the cops loaded her into a van before a scrum of media surging to capture the shot. "The whole thing is scripted," the anarch-kids chanted back.
For now, Sheehan pledges to keep talking, believing more and more people are listening. "It's hard to tell these stories," she says of the sons and husbands that she and other military families have lost. "But we do it to heal ourselves and to heal this country. We do it because we have been broken, and we don't want anyone else to be broken. We're doing it for the innocent Iraqis in harm's way, and we're doing it for the other families, so they don't have to hear that knock on the door."

text: Maybe this is a dumb question, but why does it cost upwards of $300 for a vacuuformed jet pack or kit? I mean, it takes lots of effort to make the original mold, but once that's done, it isn't a very hard process. It's just frustrating because lots of people get stumped once it comes to this step and the prices are just insane sometimes...maybe I'm just b*tching.
