Bush honesty rating drops to lowest point
NBC/WSJ poll: Iraq replaces jobs as most important American priority
By Mark Murray
Political reporter
NBC News
WASHINGTON - The last two weeks certainly have been eventful ones in America and across the globe: President Bush gave a prime-time speech on Iraq and attended a G-8 summit in Scotland; Sandra Day O'Connor announced her retirement from the Supreme Court (with perhaps another retirement on the way); and suicide bombers killed approximately 50 people in London. After these events, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that Bush's overall job rating has slipped and that his rating for being "honest and straightforward

What this poll shows is the growing disgust of the American people with the Bush Administration. Can you imagine wha the poll numbers would look like if the MSM were actually doing their jobs and reporting and investigating all of the various sordid issues clouding Bush. I am going to be interested how the numbers change as more information (truth) comes out in the MSM about Rove. Imagine more if the other source on the CIA Plame outing turns out to be someone like Cheney!
Soon the country may be asking that old question which haunted another Republican Administration a generation ago:
What did the President know and when did he know it?
He is starting to look more like Nixon all the time. Where's our Howard Baker?
... a twinkle in his grandpa's eye.
Take a look at this poll and compare it to the President's job approval ratings right after his reelection. After Bush claimed victory on November 3rd, polls found his job approval numbers at 68%. It's only been half a year since his second inauguration, and already his approval ratings are at their lowest levels for this administration. What this poll proves is what I expected all along if George Bush won the election and not Kerry, that Americans would begin to realize the mistake of voting for him after his illegal invasion of Iraq. To go from 68% to 46% is a huge drop too, and these numbers are expected to go even lower. Any bets on when his approval ratings will be in the 30s?
Point and perspective well taken.
Last weekend a contribution to this site suggested that Bush may be the worst president ever. It was also suggested that Bush needed to be elected again before the full extent of his character would become clear to the People. And this new poll reaffirms these inferences! The People are slowly seeing through the fog created by this administration to hide their agenda! I expect this poll is a harbinger for Bush and his gang, and all other polls will continue to drop. The question will then become how low the poll numbers will go for the worst President seen to date.
I'm wondering when, if ever, the american public, mis-educated, manipulated, titilated, and overstimulated as they are, will realize the depth and breadth of the criminal activity that has characterized this administration, from rigged voting machines, to willfully ignoring multiple warnings of impending terror attacks, to illegal wars, to torture and murder of detainees, some of them children, to war profiteering, to exposing covert operatives, and these are just some of what we know, no thanks to the mainstream media, there is probably much much more that remains hidden inside an administration that seeks to hide everything. If anyone was ever guilty of high crimes, it is this crowd.
Your comments are so on point and well put; thank you for stating (restating) what, I suspect, many of us feel (in our guts) the very same thing. Bravo!
The Bum is still there, the Military is still being gutted everyday, all social programs are gone, Hospitals closing, food and gas prices still on the rise.
I don't care about Rove he is just a small piece of the puzzle. But some people are waking up, slowly.

My work helping clients work smarter generally involves informal learning, collaboration, knowledge-sharing, organization development, and nurturing learning ecosystems. I rely on concepts from design, psychology, consumer marketing, network theory, social science, and media. I work with these disciplines because that's where I have experience. However, they're only the tip of the working smarter iceberg.
Working Smarter is a holistic approach to doing business.
An article by Jonah Lehrer in today's Wall Street Journal describes the impact of the color of workplace walls on performance. People in red-walled rooms were "much better at skills that required accuracy and attention to detail, such as catching spelling mistakes or keeping random numbers in short-term memory." People in blue rooms "did far better on tasks requiring some imagination, such as coming up with creative uses for a brick or designing a children's toy." I've noted before that people who work in yellow-walled rooms are more optimistic and happy — and therefore more productive.
Does this mean interior design could be a factor in working smarter? Sure.
Jack Welch has said, "Getting the right people in the right jobs is a lot more important than developing a strategy." People are most productive when they're creating lots of value doing things they like and are good at. Is slotting people into the best jobs for them working smarter? Sure.
Business organizations are undergoing a grand convergence. Work and learning are becoming one and the same. Smart companies don't send workers away for training; they enable them to learn in the course of work. Learning well is working smarter.
"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe," wrote John Muir. He was writing about nature, but the same holds true for the human side of enterprise. The "people disciplines" of organization development, talent management, training, and management development are all interlinked. You can't do one without impacting the others. Who cares? It's all just working smarter.

Here come the Men In Black - again.
A new trailer for Men In Black III, starring New Zealand actor Jemaine Clement as the villain Boris, has debuted online.
The trailer, for the third addition in the Men In Black series and first since 2002's derided second film, is again directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and reunites stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in their extraterrestrial comedy caper series.
Men In Black III also stars Josh Brolin, Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, Bill Hader and Rip Torn, and the plot appears to involve time travel. It has been filmed in 3D.
The trailer offers only a brief glimpse of Clement, one of several villains that terrorises Smith and Jones in the film, at around the 20-second mark.
Boris is described as "charmy and creepy at the same time".
Men In Black III is due to hit New Zealand cinemas on May 24.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Raiders roll to 6-1
The Central Lakes College Raiders lived up to their 20th ranking in the NJCAA poll as they dispatched the Minnesota West Blue Jays 49-14 behind a diversified offense and brilliant defense on a rainy homecoming Saturday afternoon.
Averey Duncan highlighted the offensive performance with three touchdown catches while Frank Mays and the defense shut down the Blue Jays' running game and intercepted three passes.
"We played outstanding defensively and accomplished the goals we set out to do," said CLC head coach Greg Medeck. "Offensively, we sputtered a little because of turnovers. I don't know if it was the weather and a wet ball for (quarterback) Carson (Wessinger), but he settled down, we got things in place and moving like they should and we were able to put a lot of points on the board."
One of Medeck's goals was to play a complete game.
"We have had a couple of times where we had a nice first half, but then stayed back on our heels a bit, but we were able to extend things today in the second half," he said. "We wanted to see our team continue to execute in the second half and I think we did that today.
"I think we did really well with our discipline. We had a problem with that a while back, but that, and getting in the right position at the right time, was a big help for us."
Mays thought the defense maintained its discipline.
"We had a lot of problems with that a while back," he said. "But discipline and getting in the right spot at the right time was a big help for us."
Mays showed leadership on the sidelines by letting teammates know when things were getting a little out of hand.
"We've had a couple of times in the past where that has happened, and we just need to settle down," he said. "We have a big lead and we don't have to do that extra stuff."
Minnesota West totaled 223 yards but only 193 on the ground. CLC pressured Blue Jays quarterback Teddy Joseph all day and he finished 11 for 28 with three interceptions.
Duncan was the Raiders' offensive star as he scored on throws of 35, 13 and 10 yards from Wessinger. Sean Nokken scored on a 63-yard punt return, and the defense added a 43-yard interception return for a TD from Dan Ngandali.
After Ngandali's return opened the scoring, CLC's offense responded with a first-quarter drive that finished with a 1-yard scoring plunge by Taz Seibert for a 14-0 lead.
Minnesota West's Mychal Sheridan scored on a 1-yard run but the Raiders blocked the extra point and Matt Mogere returned it for two points and a 16-6 lead.
Wessinger struggled with inconsistency early, and threw three interceptions, but he and Duncan connected on their first two scoring connections to give the Raiders a 28-6 halftime lead.
Wessinger finished 13-23 with three touchdown passes.
CLC put the game away in the second half with three touchdowns. Duncan scored his final touchdown in the third quarter and finished with six catches for 112 yards. Logan Baker also got into the end zone with a 5-yard run.
Balance was one of the keys for the Raiders' offense. CLC had 42 rushing attempts and 25 passing. CLC went to the running game more in the fourth quarter with a large lead. Medeck credited offensive coordinator Carl Larson for his game plan.
"We are a balanced team and that is what you need to be successful and that is all Carl Larson, my offensive coordinator, with his scheming and game planning," Medeck said. "He does a fantastic job. My only input is that I tell Carl that we want to be balanced and not rely on the run or pass.
"You need to do multiple things to be successful a the end of the season and he does a good job of game planning that, and we have great athletes at all positions. We are balanced and that is great for our program."
The Raiders have two games before the playoffs. Mays believes his team his heading in the right direction.
"I think we just need to keep moving forward," he said. "A lot of times we take a step back, depending on who we play against. But if we keep moving forward like we have the past three or four games, we will have a very successful season."

Doblin: Christie: Stronger than a storm of his own making?
DAVID Wildstein and Bill Baroni left their jobs at the Port Authority because of the growing scandal over lane closures at the George Washington Bridge. Their original story about a planned traffic study at the GWB was no longer believable, and they exited the Port Authority in disgrace.
The Legislature was, and is, conducting hearings into the lane closures and the possibility the bridge was being used as a tool for political payback against the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee for not endorsing Governor Christie for reelection. Through it all, Christie maintained he and his staff had nothing to do with the lane closures. He even glibly joked about the closures, saying he "worked the cones" himself.
Last week, the chickens came home to roost and some roosters came home to roast. When The Record broke the story that emails and correspondence between Wildstein and others — including a deputy chief of staff in Christie's office — showed there was a plan to create a traffic nightmare in Fort Lee, the governor had to take action. He fired the deputy, Bridget Anne Kelly, and cut all ties to one of his closet aides, Bill Stepien, his former campaign manager and the man he had named only Tuesday to be the state Republican Party chairman.
The governor apologized at length on Thursday. He traveled to Fort Lee to apologize face to face to the mayor of Fort Lee. We all got it: He's sorry.
But what I do not get is why Christie did not know sooner. As the lane closure story developed, he should have realized there was a problem inside the Port Authority. And once Baroni and Wildstein were forced out, he should have known that something very wrong had transpired on his watch. Christie is not just any politician; he is a skilled prosecutor with a brilliant record of winning cases. He knew when to hold them and he knew when to indict them.
Everyone is capable of being betrayed by someone they trust. But by at least four people? You have to go back to Julius Caesar to find someone so unlucky with his friends. Part of the problem is that too many Christie cronies got jobs. Would Baroni and Wildstein have been able to leave unscathed by Christie if their last names sounded more like Schundler? The former head of the state Education Department was all but thrown from a moving vehicle when he allegedly misled the governor as to how the state lost federal education dollars.
There was no such tirade against Baroni. Kelly was not so lucky. The governor did all but call her personal hygiene into question when he said she lied to him. I believe Christie's pain was real, but I am at a loss as to why some people get raked over the coals and some do not.
I continue to wonder whether the governor's lack of interest in what really happened inside the Port Authority is the second act of his equal disinterest over what happened inside NJ Transit during Superstorm Sandy. I may have been slow to bang the drum over the GWB, but I have been leading an entire percussion section for more than a year about the loss of $120 million worth of rail equipment during Sandy because the moving stock — railcars and locomotives — was either moved or left in flood-prone areas.
The governor blamed one midlevel NJ Transit employee for the decision and blamed internal agency work rules for not allowing management to fire the schnook — my word, not Christie's. But I do not accept that explanation any more than I now accept the explanation David Wildstein ordered a secret traffic study because he cared about congestion.
Something is wrong inside NJ Transit. No one high up was fired. And unlike the GWB scandal, where state Sen. Loretta Weinberg, D-Teaneck, refused to let the issue die, no one in the Legislature made NJ Transit or Weinstein's failed leadership an issue. It would seem to me more questions need to be asked.
Yet Christie has been content with NJ Transit's feeble explanation. Perhaps in light of what has just happened at the Port Authority and inside his own office, he will be less trusting. During a crisis, like Sandy, the governor made sure that virtually all information was filtered out to the public through him. Maybe that gave residents confidence. It also gave them less access to the people directly responsible for restoring various services. And if you insist on being the face of everything, you have to recognize that when eggs are tossed, you will be wearing the omelettes.
Last week was not a very sunny-side-up time for Christie. Maybe the lawyer in him wants to keep his distance from staffers who may have crossed legal lines, but a chief executive has to do more than say he's sorry, betrayed and humiliated. It is not about Christie, it is about New Jersey. This isn't about him, it's about us.
New Jersey is stronger than the storm. The question now: Is Chris Christie?

The Government had originally planned to let Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri arrive at Islamabad and then board him in another flight or helicopter towards his headquarters at Lahore. PMLN simply could not trust Qadri and let him enter Islamabad, as his "peaceful" march in January 2013 held the city hostage for a week and also threatened to take over the parliament.
The government had prepared for the usual stuff like imposition of section 144, road blockage through containers and having additional police force from provinces. The main plan was to prevent any security breach on the strategic asset "Islamabad Airport", as the recent Karachi airport indent brought embarrassment to the country at global level. In addition to protection of Islamabad Airport, Qadri had also threatened to take over the Prime Minster house if his workers were hurt.
By the time Qadri's flight was near Islamabad, the "peaceful" minhajians had broken the police barricades and reached the airport. The remaining batch of these "peaceful" mob reached airport on their vehicles following motorcade of Chaudhry Pervez Ellahi after torturing and giving multiple fractures to 100+ policemen.
This was a critical time as the news of landing could have excited the mob to run over the few hundred security officials at the airport as per their plan. Just few thousand minhajians equipped with sticks could have overpowered the few hundred airport security staff and entered runway once Qadri had landed. This would have been second breach of an international airport in Pakistan within a gap of just 2 weeks.
At that time, the main option for government would have been to call army to seal or clear the airport/runway from minhajians. Qadri's would have succeeded in his plan of bringing army to receive and protect him at the airport. It is not known if some commander from Rawalpindi was already part of this plan or not.
The other option for government would have been to restrain the minhajians through force, which could have caused casualties and ultimately given massive political ammunition to Qadri to launch his "revolution", the kind of revolution that always ends with army takeover in Muslim countries. As per earlier threat of Qadri, he would have marched to Prime Minster house with dead bodies and it might have required army's intervention to secure the PM house, which isn't a pleasant experience in Pakistani political history.
By diverting the flight at last minute to Lahore, the government secured their assets and automatically dispersed the mob at Islamabad rather peacefully.
The government also succeed in limiting the number of people to receive Qadri at Lahore airport, despite Qadri waiting for 5 hours in the Emirates plane in attempt for a Benazir or Nawaz Sharif sized crowed to gather for his "historic" reception.
At the end, the Qadri was able to just secure the ride from airport to hospital with Governor Sarwar and government successfully thwarted his adventure attempt at relatively low cost of diverting an international airliner to another city.
This event also exposed the minhajians as mobster who violently attacked and critically injured hundreds of security officials and their leader held an international flight hostage for more than 5 hours.
This episode made Gullu Butt look like a Gentleman, who only attacked property, not humans.

This hairspray is different than most. It does not leave your hair crunchy. It leaves it soft. If you have fine hair spray at the roots. I use many Alba Botanica Advanced Care hair products.
Huge surprise!

I didn't expect much, and at first try out it felt like doing nothing and I could only smell the alcohol. But after using it couple of times, I noticed that it doesn't dry my hair like other pump spray's do (aerosol's I simply hate) and it's actually quite easy to build up the support that I want for different hair styles. It holds pretty well, and with natural look. Washes out easily too. Also, next morning I feel my hair is still vibrant, I don't feel the residue. I think this might be the best hair spray I've used! The smell of alcohol has been much milder after the first spraying experience. It fades out very quickly. I'm very happy with the product and iHerb in general!
Effective & No Chemical Fragrance
Posted by Reviewer1435755 on Jul 21, 2012 | Verified Purchase
Although I would prefer a few less chemicals, this hairspray has no Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate, no Paraben Preservatives or Phthalates, & no Artificial Colors or Silicones. Pus, I cannot use products with artificial frangrances, so this is the closest I've found that still is effective, as well as reasonably priced.

I give it a few stars for hold, because it does hold. But I don't like the way it looks on my hair. It makes it look wet and that look doesn't go away. Maybe a nice product to secure buns or other "tight" hairdo's. But I'm not a fan of using this on your hair if you wear it down.
No thanks!

I had no luck with this, it is better suited for thin short hair and light hold. Having thick long hair this doesn't give me the holding power I need. darn!
Great product and no chemical smell
Posted by Reviewer1406241 on Mar 05, 2012 | Verified Purchase
This is an excellent hairspray. No smell or scalp irritation. It takes a few seconds to dry, so you can style your hair a little bit after spraying it on. Holds style well without being "rock hard."
Great product

Works well for all day soft hold. Doesn't smell at all after you spray it so it's great for those sensitive to perfumes.

The all-party probe into the alleged misuse of parliamentary funds by the Bloc Québécois is expanding.
Former Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe appeared in front of the House of Commons Board of Internal Economy on Monday. After his in-camera testimony, Mr. Duceppe appeared confident and said he has no regrets about putting the party's former director-general, Gilbert Gardner, on his parliamentary office's payroll.
"Since when does respecting the law constitute an ethical lapse," Mr. Duceppe told reporters.
However, the Board of Internal Economy said in a statement that Mr. Duceppe's appearance has actually raised new questions that now need to be looked into.
"As a result of his appearance and information provided, many additional questions have been raised. The Board will be continuing and expanding its review of the matter," the board said. "No further comments will be made at this time."
The other main federal parties said they would never put party workers on the payroll of the House of Commons.
However, the Bloc has argued that House rules allow for the budget of party leaders to be used for partisan purposes.Report Typo/Error

Have you ever been a victim of a scam? I almost was a month ago. Someone called me and told me that there was a complaint of what I was using on the internet. I was taken off guard but I acted stupid ( for I realized it must be a scam and told them they had the wrong number and I then hung up). Afterwards, I felt nerviest and called family members and a few friends to talk about this. They all felt it was a scam. Thank goodness, I acted stupid and quickly hung up!!
Please tell me what has happened to you for all of us most be ready for these scams for they are increasing.

Can you remember the first digital watches that started appearing in shops back in the nineteen seventies? Most had blacked out screens, and you need to push a button in order to see the time which was typically displayed in red. Interestingly, those were not really the first digital watches.
The very first commercially available digital watch was introduced by Hamilton, and it came with an eye watering price tag of $2,100. However, the cost of digital watches soon began to tumble. Soon, you were able to find cheap electronic watches for around $10, and by the late 80's and early 90's you could even find them being given away for free. Even today, if you visit some countries like Thailand for example, you can buy digital watches for less than one dollar. Of course these watches generally don't last long, and many of them are simply thrown away once the battery dies because new batteries cost more or less the same as the watches do.
Casio – The Undisputed King of Digital Watches
There is no denying the fact that Casio is the undisputed king when it comes to the digital/electronic watch market.

The 'Why' of Leadership
We've all known control freaks. You know them as the folks who have to know everything, be sure everything is and will be perfect, who obsess over even the smallest issues to the detriment of the bigger ones, who must be in charge, who are unable to delegate effectively, who dominate conversations and who worry their life away. You may even be one of them.
I certainly have a bit of this within me. It has dissipated over the years, but even today, I still have to guard against it. At some point along my career path I discovered that letting go worked better than holding on. The natural order of things is closer to chaos than control. In fact, we only control a small part of what happens. The good news for all of us, including the control freaks, is that we do have 100% control over how we deal with it.
The world is out of control. The sooner we accept this, the happier and more effective we are. So many of us go through life and never understand this. They bemoan when unexpected things happen — which is most of the time. A healthier approach is to accept whatever happens. Take what happens and influence it, shape it and mold it into something better.
View unexpected changes as simply new paths to learning and growing. We are all stronger and better than our mind allows us to think we are. It takes these unexpected events to show us the way to a deeper existence.
What does this have to do with leading? Everything. Leading is about embracing these changes and becoming better because of them. It is about encouraging others to navigate these changes with you. It is about rising above the randomness of life and directing it in a way that adds value. This is not about trying to control the outcome. This leads to worry, stress and unnecessary anxiety. It is about doing your best and letting what happens, happen — and then controlling your reaction to the result.
Accepting that you are not in control of what happens to you, and never will be, is a big step. A bigger step is to make sure you clearly understand what you do control — your response. Make it positive, supportive, creative, caring, thoughtful, healthful, competent, humble and respectful. Use the change to validate why you are leading. Use the change to help others. Use the change to become better. Use the change to continue your commitment to always do your best.
The world is out of control, but you don't have to be. Let the world work its magic. Then you work yours.

Is this an easy clip fix?
So this is a picture of my rear drivers side of my e46 . When I bought the car it was like that. Do I just need to go buy a new clip and pop this guy back in?
Oh and if you guys haven't figured out, that white splotch is snow :)
It's easy fix. Take out the wheel and look inside.
You will see a metal clip held by a nut and bolt.
Loosen them and take out the clip.
The clip is bent/deformed.
Bend it back and install it properly, forcing the bumper back to position.
Then that's it.
If the clip is too soft. U will need to get creative.
The clip clamps the bumper lip and the body tight together
Oh I see. So its pretty simple fix then. I hope the clip isn't soft lol.
If, if you need replace the bumper guide the entire bumper will have to removed off the car or slid back far enough to replace that part which doesn't cost a lot anyways.

Seems like I saw somewhere a symbol for printing the symbol for temp deprees?

You can hold the ALT key and type "248" I think.
On a Mac it's "option" and "0" (that's a zero).
Hey BeeCurious, thanks for the info. it works, and the old dog learned a new trick :applause:
Bee Curious - I knew about holding alt and 0176, but not alt and 248. Tried it and it works... on a PC anyway.
Here's a link to the FAQ Microsoft has for using their character map. It explains how to access the character map on your computer and how to use it.
Just some additional information:
Word 2007
Open a page, there are 7 tabs at the upper left, click the insert tab which is located between Home and Page layout, go to the far right where you see the Symbol, click on the Symbol tab, click on the Degree Sign so that its inserted into your text, and close the window.
For example 70°, or Shortcut key: Alt+0176
ALT 248 is the answer. I use character mapping all the time. We used to create hidden directories with ALT 255 which creates a "space" as a directory name..something you can't do if you use a GUI but a command line interface is wonderful at that kind of stuff.
They both work.

Hats off!
Since she officially became a royal last year when she married Prince William on April 29 -- Happy Anniversary! -- Kate Middleton has made a big impact on fashion from her nude pumps to ladylike dresses. And even Hollywood has taken notice.
Several stars have been inspired to accessorize with fun fascinators, just like Kate.
PHOTOS: The celebs inspired by Kate Middleton's style
Kim Kardashian showed up at Perez Hilton's birthday bash in Los Angeles March 24 sporting a playful black fascinator adorned with a silver ribbon design atop her long brunette hair.
PHOTOS: Kate Middleton's style evolution
Like Kardashian's design, fascinators became popular in the early 20th century and are often worn to the side or the front of the forehead, making the accessory look oddly bird-like at times.

Frame Boxing question
Greetings All,
I ve got a question about frame boxing. I have attached pictures of the middle and rear of my 37 Pontiac frame. I am planning to box the rear from the end of the X member to the crossmember just behind the rear axle. My original reason for this was because I planed putting a Triangulated 4 bar and needed the plate to mount the hardware. I also figured any strengthening would be good. This is where my question lies. Should I box the section between the first rear crossmember and the end of the frame. Also, Should I box the center of the frame between the front and back of the X-Member?
A fully boxed frame is obviously stronger but it all depends on what kind of power you're going to run and what you're going to do with the car. If you have the welder, the time and the talent to use it then why not.
On an older frame like that, I would box in all that you could reasonably. Just keep in mind how things will be mounted.
boxing frame
Hi,when i boxed the entire frame of my 1934 ford pickup,i noticed the bottom,inside of the frame at the kick up,was very thin. i took a piece of cold rolled steel bar,3/16 thick by 2 in wide and welded both sides to the frame. then i ground off the outside edge,so it was the same size as the frame.it made the frame noticably stronger,then i boxed the chassis. im boatbob2
I would seriously think about WHY the need to box it? Unless you plan on a LOT, I mean a LOT of horsepower AND sticky tires, fully boxing a thirties frame is overkill. ESPECIALY a thirties frame that has an X member.
Boxing CAN warp a frame. Caution needs to be taken when welding it. Skip around and don't weld much in one area at a time.
Look at all the forties and fifties pickups without any X member and simple ladder frames and no boxing that are on the street with blown big blocks and the like. A Model "A", that is a whole different story, but a late thirties frame, they are much taller and have much more support with wider mounting of the crossmembers. I would think about it long and hard before I got into it.
The X member is where the rigidity comes from, even MORE so than boxing. Do you see bridges with "boxed" beams? No, they rely on structual design, that is what the X member is.
The biggest reason for boxing on something like that is a warm gooey feeling and aesthetics.
I agree Brian. That was my initial thought but I had the creeping feelings of doubt that made me want to check with folks more experienced. Speaking of the X member, I will have to make some modifications to the center to accommodate my transmission. The X is built with I-Beams instead of C channel and my plan was to take 4" front and 4" back of the center out to accommodate the tail shaft. I was going to leave the top and bottom of the I and take out the center. Once everything is removed I plan to add a box made of steel tubing to replace any strength I lost. Will this considerably weaken the X-Member. I will be using an Olds 455 and Turbo 400. I am looking to build in the upper 300 lower 400 range for horsepower.
Thanks for all the advice,
Sorry Brian, I got to dissagree with you on this one.
Anything you do to increase the rigidity of the frame is a benefit. If you can box the whole frame without warping it it will be a much nicer car to drive. those frames built in the 30'-40's were stronger than their predessors , but are not up to the task of todays higher horsepower, stronger brakes, stickier tires, faster freeway speeds...etc
I won't start to compare the tires,brakes, etc of yesterday with what you will inevitably put on that car and use today. Even mediocre tires and a stock 350 is worlds ahead of yesterdays stuff.
Every time you put more power from the car to the ground, being engine, steering or brakes, it demands more from the frame
Box it as much as you can stand.
At the very least, box it from 6" in front of the 4 bar mounts and run that all the way back to 6" behind the crossmember. Are you replacing the rear crossmember? I would think that you won't be using it with the new suspension.
When you cut out the center of the "X" member, put a peice of 1"x2" rectangular tubing all the way across, connecting the frame rails, and the new wider, box section that you will put in The closer you get to the outside of the frame with yourr replacement box section, the more rigidity you will lose, unless you make the box out of a rigid , unflexable material itself, such as rectangular tubing. One length of rectangular tubing on the bottom with a drop out trans mount will really help things.
I'd box the front also.
This should have been in the suspension forum, as we have no real "frame" forum.
Later, mikey
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular..
BE different....ACT normal.
No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example
Thanks for the advice Mike. The front is getting replaced with a Fatman Sub frame that is already made of square tubing. It will mate just in front of the X. I planned on trying to keep the crossmember in the rear because that is where the gas tank mounts and I planned on using an repro tank. That may change when I start mocking up the rear. I think I'm going to make 2 plates to cover the area between the back of the X to the end of the frame. My plan is to let the Rod shop that is replacing the front clip go ahead and weld the plates as well. I didn't want to risk the warpage doing it my self.
Thanks again to everyone.
Mikey.... You forgot to mention that the frame he is working on is only 70 years old. There is no way it is as strong now, as it was when it was designed and built.
I like to leave something for the other guys to say
I'm just kidding.
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular..

Thats all good Mikey, it sure can't hurt to box it. But there are a LOT of late thirties cars with a full X member like that and work just fine.
Some folks used to think that a certain amount of flex gave a better ride. This is wrong...the stiffer the frame the better the ride as it lets the suspension work better. I would box the whole frame if it were me and I was not concerned about a little extra weight.
I know there are a bunch of those cars out there that were built through out the years that are currently in service, but the more steering box and motor mount repairs that I do on those cars, the more I am convinced that if a guy has the chance, he should box his frame.
Especially if he has to cut a significant amount out of the center out of the X member. This takes alot of rigidity out of the frame.
Motor mounts get moved back away from the front crossmember, steering boxes pushing wider tires make the frame flex at that point. I have fixed the frames of several late 30's cars at the steering box mount.
Also, as adtkart pointed out, all of those frames have been through alot. Metal fatigue from thousands of cycles of flexing have weakened the steel.
I won't say that a guy needs to take his car apart and box the frame, but if someone has the car all apart, and as in the case of the op, is adding a fatman stub, then IMO, not boxing the frame would make his car less of a joy to drive.
Later, mikey
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular..
BE different....ACT normal.
No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example
Mike, as usual you make very good points. The forces just the wider tires with offset rims can make is pretty substantial. Especially with a cross link setup, the frame where the steering box mounts gets twisted.
And the X member does get cut up pretty bad on a lot of these cars for late automatics.
OK, OK, I give up!!!! Just kidding, I see your points and they are well taken.
I would like to see some more pics of your frame, to see if its built the same as my 36 LaSalle. I had Fatman build a custom Stub and also have Triangulated 4bar. It sounds like our builds may be close to the same idea. I boxed only the rear and Added welds to all the points where the frame sections are rivited together. Im very pleased with this frame, here is a pic of my mock up. There are a few more in my photo album.

Celebrity Pets - Tori Spelling's Dog Faces Death over Unpaid Bill?
Celebrity pets – Tori spelling's dog may face death over her unpaid bills.
The 'Beverly Hills 90210' star is distraught that her long-time employee Claudia is reportedly planning to take her dog to a shelter to have it euthanized because she didn't get paid for taking care of it this month.
Claudia told gossip website TMZ.com that she was originally Tori's dog walker but agreed to begin caring for the actress' animal in her own home for $525 a month when the mutt got too big for Tori's own house in Los Angeles in 2011.
She claimed she didn't get paid this month and unsuccessfully tried to get in touch with Tori, her husband Dean McDermott and their accountant, before threatening to have the dog put down.
The 40-year-old actress went "crazy" when she heard about the situation and texted Claudia to arrange to get her dog back but the dog walker refused to get in touch with the actress and said she would not give the dog back.
News of the dispute comes after a tough few weeks for Tori, who is "absolutely devastated" by rumors that her husband of seven years cheated on her with a woman in Toronto, Canada before Christmas.
A source recently said that she is focusing on taking care of their children, Liam, six, Stella, five, Hattie, two, and 15-month-old Finn, but admitted: "She's much more heartbroken than anyone realized. She's flipping out and is completely devastated."

The Beer Can House sits on a crowded street just a few blocks north of Memorial. It's right in the heart of one of the fastest growing neighborhoods, surrounded by high-dollar townhouses. And for anyone who hasn't seen it…just picture a small bungalow house completely covered with beer cans.
"My father lived all of his life very conservatively, never threw anything away, saved baby jars from when I was a child that we still have. Anything he could recycle he did and when the seamless aluminum beer can first was introduced in the early to middle '70s he was so fascinated by that thin-wall can that didn't have a seam and he just started saving those aluminum cans."
That's Ronnie Milkovisch. His father, John, took all those cans and flattened, cut and carved them into dozens of shapes. It's a sort of monument to cheap beer. Blue Ribbon, Old Milwaukee, Coors, Texas Pride. Fifty-thousand cans of it. Stephen Bridges is with the Orange Show, the arts organization that restored the house. He says John Milkovisch never considered himself an artist. And he never really knew why he built the Beer Can House.
"He said himself that he had no idea. And he would sometimes lie awake at night wondering why he did it. And that is typical of a lot of folk artists and a lot of self-taught artists. It's this sort of innate drive to create that they just have to do and they're not really sure of a reason."
John Milkovisch spent 20 years working on the house. He died in 1988 and his widow lived there until her death in 2000. That's when the Orange Show stepped in to purchase and restore the house.
"The thing about the beer can house is it was really built as a lark. It wasn't built to last. And so that's been quite a challenge, how do you restore something that was never meant to last? And just the Houston heat and humidity and the sun really took its toll on the house."
Grants from the Brown and Cullen Foundations along with a lot of volunteer work have fully restored the house. It's now open for the public to go inside. That wasn't possible before. And people come from literally all over to see the Beer Can House. Ronnie Milsovisch says there's some irony in that.
"A quote that I like to use is he's sitting over here and people are so fascinated with his work and he said 'you know, I wouldn't walk around the block to see this place.'"
Despite that less than ringing endorsement, if you do want to see the Beer Can House it's open Saturdays and Sundays from noon to five.

text: When you hear the phrase "data center" in a conversation, what kind of image does that instill in your mind? Just for fun and reference, here is the definition from Wikipedia: "A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and various security devices. Large data centers are industrial scale operations using as much electricity as a small town and sometimes are a significant source of air pollution in the form of diesel exhaust."

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Residential Solar
Utility companies are continually raising rates. Avoid these rising rates by installing a residential solar panel system. By producing your own power, you will always pay less for your energy. Save money today with solar purchase options like $0 down and instant monthly savings!
Commercial Solar
There are so many reasons why installing solar makes sense for your business including: cost cutting, tax advantages, locked in energy costs, brand image enhancement, environmental protection, and so much more. Solar for business is a smart choice to reducing your overhead.
Client Testimonials
Our first contact with 1st Light Energy Inc., was in April 2014, introducing their company product and options to convert to solar energy. Along with learning the solar process coupled with incentives from 1st Light Energy, federal tax credits, as well as current provider Modesto Irrigation District, we decided to purchase a solar system for our home. 1st Energy employees, are very well versed in their area of responsibility. Each phase of the project was communicated by resident experts who guided the job to completion. The installation crew were all journeyman level craftsmen. When considering converting to Solar Energy Power, I highly recommend 1st Light Energy Inc. as part of your due diligence, considerations.
My husband and I are very happy with our installation of solar panels. This company offered us very good services. We thank 1st Light Energy for giving us this type of energy that not only benefits us but also benefits the planet. They have great, honest, and respectful workers that explained everything really well. They were very patient with our questions and doubts. We felt very comfortable with them and we recommend this program.
The 1st Light Energy Solar System has been a great benefit to us. From the first meeting to the final installation, the 1st Light Energy staff was completely professional and did a great job. They gave us several options and helped us make the right decision to get the best system for our home. Our utility cost went down more than we thought. The system is basically paying for itself. The quality workmanship was great. I can wholeheartedly recommend 1st Light Energy to anyone considering adding a solar system to their home or business.
I give this company very high marks and know you will see this company grow and grow in the future. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
I am writing to thank 1st Light Energy for a job well done in handling my Solar Panel installation project. I am thoroughly satisfied with my new solar system. Even though the process was at times complicated, 1st Light Energy did an excellent job of handholding. I was guided smoothly through the process to a renewable energy source. All of the phases of the project were well explained and proceeded smoothly. The installers were top quality, efficient, and quick. Most of all, I wish to thank Nikki Devey at 1st Light Energy for tirelessly answering my numerous questions when I called. She thoroughly addressed all of my concerns and sometimes patiently answered the same questions that were asked on previous calls. I can't tell you how much peace of mind I now have with my "Solar Independence".

As 2012 draws to a close, it is to be hoped that track and field does not follow cycling down a drugs-strewn path next year.
Four medallists from the 2004 Athens Olympics were relieved of their medals late this year after the drugs hounds caught up with them. That gave rise to the tempting thought that the cheats are confined to throwing and strength events.
Shot put gold medallist Yuriy Bilonog of Ukraine, hammer throw silver medallist Ivan Tskikhan of Belarus and bronze medallists in the women's shot put, Svetlana Krivelyova of Russia, plus discus thrower Irina Yatchenko of Belarus were all disqualified. They joined London 2012 shot put gold medallist Nadzeya Ostapchuk (also of Belarus - anyone else seeing a pattern here?) who was stripped of her medal after testing positive this year.
Tempting - but then you factor in the Alex Schwazer element. Schwazer, the discredited 2008 Olympic road walking champion, was questioned by the Italian Olympic Committee last month following his exclusion earlier this year from the London Games for doping. Schwazer won the 50km event at the 2008 Beijing Games in record time (breaking a 20-year-old record by a full minute) but failed a drugs test before arriving in London; he was dropped from Italy's team. He then admitted using the blood-boosting hormone EPO and said he was quitting the sport.
The 27-year-old caustically told waiting journalists after being grilled by Olympic officials: "I am disappointed that you are all here - when I won the gold at Beijing, there was one-fifth as many of you as there are now. That says a lot about sport."
No, it says a lot about those who use performance-enhancing drugs and who are caught. It also says a lot about the worldwide interest in drugs cheats, particularly those who rubbed shoulders with Dr Michele Ferrari, said to be Lance Armstrong's physician and who was banned for life by the United States Anti-Doping Agency in July before being named as a key figure in the Armstrong case.
Schwazer, who now faces a four year ban, has also been linked to Ferrari and the tragedy of drugs saw the splatter from his downfall splash his fiancee, world champion figure skater Carolina Kostner. She has been implicated by being at a meeting with Ferrari.
There is no serious suggestion (nor evidence) that Kostner has ever used drugs but the stain from the Schwazer business will be hard to rub off her little skating costume.
She and Schwazer were a kind of royal couple in Italy and he is not out of the woods yet. Italy pursues criminal cases bearing prison sentences against drugs cheats and, as a member of the carabinieri (Italy's national military police), he may yet have to face another form of justice.
When he made his tearful announcement earlier this year that he had been using drugs and was quitting, Schwazer opened the door on a way of life much at odds with the supposed glamour and celebrity of a top athlete. He remembered the exact date of his last self-ministered injection because it was on his mother's birthday.
"Even if they say doping makes you stronger, it has been terrible for me because I have had to tell lies. Getting up at 2am or 3am because at 6am there might be an anti-doping test," he said. "I went to Turkey, to Antalya in September and in a chemists I bought EPO. In Italy you need a prescription and there (Turkey), with €1500 in your hand, no-one causes a problem. I took the package and brought it back to Italy.
"But I did not have the strength to lie any more. And I wanted it all to end. I am so ashamed but I am also glad I can start my life again."
He apologised to Kostner, saying: "It was not easy for me to lie to her. I told her the medicines in the fridge were vitamin B12. Psychologically it was terrible to lie to her and when the anti-doping test result came through, she was the first person I told."
The irony, as drugs detectors catch up with the cheats by developing detection agents that can be retrospectively applied to athlete samples, is that international competition is probably the cleanest it has been for a long time.
The result of a comparatively cleaner field in cycling's Tour de France is that the gobsmacking efforts up the big hills by riders like Lance Armstrong, going impossibly fast in impossibly big gears, is gone. The climbs are more about survival now.
This year's winner of the prestigious alpine stage did so in a time over four minutes slower than the record - set by renowned climber and doper Marco Pantini in 1997 - even after all sorts of equipment, training and technological advances in those 15 years.
So a Tour without Armstrong and his ilk is nowhere near as colourful as a Tour with them. You can see why some people involved might have looked the other way.
Athletics, too, is comparatively cleaner than in past years. You need only look at our own Valerie Adams and the distance the world's premier female shot putter has to throw to break a world record that seems clearly out of her reach.
The one many remember is Flo Jo - Florence Griffith-Joyner, whose world records in the 100m and 200m still stand, 24 years after they were set.
I attended a press conference at the 1988 Seoul Olympics where Flo Jo held court - mainly because I wanted to see if she looked as much like she came out of a bottle as the rumours suggested.
She was superbly muscled; a good-looking woman with a charming manner. But critics maintained she had improved her times and changed her body shape too radically.
Her untimely death ended matters but perhaps the last word should go to Jamaica's seven-time Olympic medallist Veronica Campbell-Brown - who won 200m gold in 2004 and 2008, as well as at last year's world championships. Her personal best, 21.74s, is 0.4s slower than Flo Jo's world record.
"It is beyond my reach," she has said. "It's disappointing to not get the respect that the males do, because they are capable of breaking the record and people are excited to see them run because they know the possibility of breaking the record is close. I don't have that luxury."

Babies Hemorrhage After Parents Refuse Vitamin K Shots
Vitamin K is needed by our bodies for blood clotting and it's one of the first shots offered to newborns. More parents are choosing to skip shots and not vaccinate their children, believing it's unhealthy and unnecessary. Now the CDC is reporting as surge of cases of life-threatening brain bleeds in babies who weren't vaccinated.
When the Shaker family had their twins, they decided against immunizations.
Melissa Shaker told Ivanhoe, "Immunizations don't seem very natural. So I just wanted to stay away from them at least for a year."
But two months after bringing the boys home, baby Silas turned very pale.
"Like he looked like he was dying white. It was scary," Melissa Shaker told Ivanhoe.
Father of baby Silas, Mark Shaker told Ivanhoe, "One of the first questions that was asked of her in the hospital was did you get the vitamin K shot?"
The Shakers hadn't. Silas had vitamin K deficiency and suffered multiple brain bleeds.
Typically the blood clotting disorder only affects 1 in 100,000 babies. But Silas is 1 of 7 cases Vanderbilt doctors have seen in the last year.
Mark Shaker said, "Had we known some of these things, we could have made smarter decisions."
Pediatric Hematologist, Robert Sidonio, Jr. MD, Msc. of Vanderbilt University told Ivanhoe, "Thankfully he was one of the cases that we'd seen after we'd already seen a couple of cases and so we gave vitamin K immediately to this child."
Doctor Sidonio believes the numbers could surge in the future because of the trend of parents refusing immunizations.
Sidonio told Ivanhoe, "Probably somewhere in the range of 1 in 100 to 1 in 1000 kids will develop this."
While doctors were able to stop the bleeding in Silas, he has to take medications for seizures and he's in physical therapy to retrain his left side.
Mark Shaker told Ivanhoe, "Only time will tell. You know, will he respond to therapy? Will there be any other residual side effects of this?"
To be safe, Silas' twin Abel was also treated and is doing fine.
Doctor Sidonio says many parents have declined the vitamin K shot because of a single study circulated on the internet linking it to leukemia. But he says at least 10 studies since then have shown there is absolutely no link.
BACKGROUND: Vitamin K is an important factor in helping our blood clot. Blood clots help prevent the body from excessively bleeding. Many people take dietary supplements, however vitamin K is not typically one of them. Vitamin K1 can be found in leafy greens and some other vegetables, while vitamin K2 can be found in meats, eggs and cheeses. It is seen as typical to give newborn babies a shot of vitamin K when they are born, however some people refuse to do this which could actually be dangerous to the newborn. While the mother can eat as much as she wants of food rich in vitamin K it won't make a difference to the baby. This is because vitamin K doesn't travel easily across the placenta from the mother to the child. Also, once the baby is born it still doesn't receive much vitamin K because breast milk doesn't contain much.
(Source: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/lifestyle-guide-11/supplement-guide-vitamin-k and http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007320.htm and http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007320.htm )
HEMORRHAGIC DISEASE IN NEWBORNS: This is developed because of a lack of vitamin K. Without the shot there hemorrhagic disease is much more likely. It can be seen in three different categories.
* Early onset hemorrhagic disease is rare for newborns, but develops in the first few hours of birth. It is often caused by blood thinners or anti-seizure drugs taken during pregnancy.
* Classic onset disease is also rare and is seen often in newborns who breastfeed and don't get their vitamin K shot within a week of being born.
* The late onset form is more common in children who didn't receive the vitamin K shot, and also in newborns of Asian descent. It is seen in infants older than 2 weeks up to 2 months old.
Newborns are also more likely to develop this disease if they suffer from alpha1-antitryspin deficiency, biliary atresia, celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, diarrhea, or hepatitis.

In the front, re-torque the sway bar end link nuts. Sounds like one might have backed off a tad. What end links are you running? Could also be a bad end link or possibly even a bad length adjustment.
In the rear, what sway bars, end links, and RTABs are you running? Have you inspected the area around the LR subframe mount for cracks? When you checked the RSMs, did you re-torque the nuts?
The reason I suggest re-torquing things instead of just using your fingers to see if they appear loose is because suspension loads can bind things up so that they feel tight until the suspension travels to a position that frees them up to rattle or squeak.

Adieu, Stéphane
- By Margaret Slattery
Margaret Slattery is assistant managing editor at Foreign Policy, working primarily on FP's print magazine. A Los Angeles native and recent graduate of Yale University, where she majored in English, she has written for The New Republic and has studied in Leon, Spain.
Stéphane Hessel, the French author and activist who was among FP's Global Thinkers in 2011 — our oldest thinker yet, but no less spirited for it — died Tuesday in Paris at the age of 95. Hessel's is a remarkable life story: He was raised in Paris by parents who counted Marcel Duchamp and Alexander Calder as friends, joined the French Resistance against the Nazis during World War II, was imprisoned in Buchenwald, and ultimately escaped being hanged by swapping identities with a soldier who had died of typhoid fever. Later in life, as a young diplomat, he helped Eleanor Roosevelt draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
But it was at the age of 93, as the Occupy movement and the Arab Spring made their way across the world, that a little red book, just some 30 pages, earned Hessel international fame. His Indignez-vous! (the English version was published in 2011 as Time for Outrage!) was, as we wrote at the time, "an old lefty's impassioned cri de coeur against a society that has forgotten the postwar values of tolerance and social responsibility," and it caught the attention of exasperated protesters worldwide, from los indignados in Spain to the drum circlers of Zuccotti Park. Pausing at the "last leg of my journey," Hessel urged the world's youth to carry on the agitating spirit of the Resistance, fighting what he called the "international dictatorship of financial markets." "Here is our message," Hessel declared, "It's time to take over! It's time to get angry! Politicians, economists, intellectuals, do not surrender!"
In 2011, when we asked Hessel who the best muse is for our times, his reply was Calliope, the Greek muse of epic poetry. Somewhat fitting for a man whose language stirred millions.

... new Balinese BFFs, Agung and Icha, and they took us to the fish market on their mopeds. Jon wanted to drive us but I wasn't feeling quite trusting enough yet :| We got to the fish market feeling overwhelmed that it didn't stink. Walking through there with so much amazing seafood. Agung bought half a kilo of squid and half a kilo of prawns and told us to follow them out the back of the market. A little unsure of what was going on we followed to find a fat chef with a ...

After walking for a couple of hours, we were tired and decided to return to our hotel and rest for the night. Our stay in Kuta is a mere one night as we had gotten accommodation in Seminyak area.

Information literacy has been called a survival skill in the Information Age. In academia there is an emphasis on strengthening students' information literacy skills to adequately prepare them to deal with "information overload", and the constant changes of information format and retrieval methods in their disciplines.
Information literacy goes beyond retrieving information; it encompasses how information is organized, identifying the best sources for a given need, finding those sources, evaluating, and using information ethically.
The UTEP Library believes that information literacy is a vital skill for our student population and takes an active role in providing information literacy sessions to equip UTEP students with skills to be competitive academics or professionals in the 21st century.
UTEP librarians offer information literacy sessions and tools to faculty during the entire academic year. Librarians can tailor one or more library instruction sessions to a class theme or assignment.
Face-to-face session(s) can be held one of the library's computer classrooms, in an on-campus computer classroom or lab, or at a remote (off-campus) classroom.
Webinar sessions can be arranged for online or hybrid courses. Librarians can also provide research and reference assistance to online and hybrid course by being embedded in the class through Blackboard.
To schedule an instruction session fill out the online form at http://libraryweb.utep.edu/services/instruction_form.php or contact Harvey Castellano at firstname.lastname@example.com
Librarians can design an online Library Research Guide specifically for a class theme or assignment. Research Guides include suggested Library resources (both print and electronic) as well as search strategies, instructions, and tips for finding information.
See Research Guides created at: http://libguides.utep.edu/
Librarians developed a set of online tutorials (Breakthrough Tutorials) to provide guidance and practical strategies to increase information literacy. The focus of the breakthrough tutorials is to offer quick and simple guidance for students and faculty. Breakthrough Tutorials are available at: http://libguides.utep.edu/research
Are you teaching a research-intensive course? Are you assigning a research-heavy project? Your students may benefit from an embedded librarian-- that is, a librarian present in your course's Blackboard shell, usually in a designated discussion board. Suitable for both distance and on-campus classes.
To request that a librarian be embedded in your Blackboard course, contact Harvey Castellano, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or at 915-747-6734.
There are three Library Instruction and Information Literacy (LIIL) classrooms located on the second and third floors of the Library. Reservations for these rooms must be made at least one week prior to the instruction session(s).
Room 204A is located in the second floor of library and is equiped with 36 computers, an over-head projector, and a flat-screen TV.
Room 204B, also located in the second floor, is equiped with 40 computers, two flat-screen TVs, and an over-head projector.
Room 309 is located in the third floor of library and can accomodate up to 20 students. The room is equiped with a blackboard, a large mobile flat-screen TV, and 20 laptops.
UTEP's team of Instruction Librarians is dedicated to stregthening students' information literacy skills both at large and one-on-one.
To request any sort of library instruction service, please contact Harvey Castellano at email@example.com, or at 915-747-6734.

If half of the authors out there stopped submitting so much rubbish to the network, focused on quality, not quantity… Surely within minutes the review queues would be reduced? No?

@IOSHVA That is exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you. Thanks to the two others also for their input, much appreciated
Hi @MultiLeadia…. in my professional experience these 'extra changes/requests' initiated by the client are called 'Authors' as in "The Authors own corrections" or words to that effect .. (ie: client revisions/alterations). These are, and generally should be charged at an even higher rate above and beyond that of your standard hourly rate…or the initial agreed final project cost… and charged at an hourly rate for the duration of that extension. Next time, stipulate in your cost estimate that any additional work requested beyond the scope of the initial delivery of the final project or brief will incur these fees. This is not uncommon practice in the industry.

Hi I hv seen many copy logos and already reported few of them but GR did nothing. They just believe on DCMA thingy. Come on guys you can see easily the logo is direct copy and you are still asking for proof etc. For example Original logo: [links removed – please do not call out items on the forums, contact Support]
Guys you can see the copy stuff easily. And if you think these are not copies shoot me in the head. This is insane and GR reviewers are so noob to catch copies. Or support so busy to go in to details. GR should control this to maintain their quality. Otherwise everything you will see here only pirated stuff. Lol i am not good in Adobe indesign but i am very good in Adobe illustrator ans photoshop otherwise i was going to apply for reviewer job. Hehehe…What do you think guys?
@CreativeAuthor….. Welcome to the 'Game' !!!!
