text: The Biggest Health Stories of 2012 The healthcare reform ruling was a blockbuster. December 27, 2012 Shari Roan Supreme Court weighs in on the Affordable Care Act Hands down, the biggest health story of year was the June 28 ruling by the Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act. The background: President Obama signed the bill in 2010 but conservatives detest it and challenged a provision in the law, called the "individual mandate," that requires everyone to buy health insurance or pay a fine. The individual mandate is the core of the law, and if the court struck it down, the whole Obamacare package would have likely collapsed. However, on a five-four vote, the court ruled that the individual mandate was constitutional, citing Congress's power to levy taxes. Among the many facets of the Affordable Care Act, the law allows young adults to stay on their parents' insurance policies until age 26, expands the access to free preventive care and screenings, and forbids insurance companies from refusing to cover or charging excessive premiums for people with pre-existing medical conditions. It also forbids insurance companies from placing a lifetime limit on coverage, expands access to Medicaid and establishes insurance exchanges in states to allow people to buy individual insurance policies. The ruling had a bigger influence on the future shape of healthcare than Obama's reelection because, even if Obama had lost, it would have been nearly impossible to repeal the law, as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he would do. Of course, Obama's reelection means full steam ahead on healthcare reform. It's here to stay, folks.

Two states—Colorado and Washington—passed laws in November to legalize the sale of small amounts of marijuana for personal use. Critics of legalization say the laws will create more addicts, that marijuana is a gateway drug that will cause more kids to use and then advance to more dangerous illicit drugs. They say legalization poses public health risks, such as in increase in the number of impaired drivers. Proponents of legalization say marijuana is no more harmful than alcohol, that the "war on drugs" has failed, and that the courts and prisons are overburdened with people charged with minor drug crimes. Photo: TakePart The first HIV prevention drug is approved The Food and Drug Administration in July approved the first drug to help prevent HIV infection from sexual contact—the first such HIV prevention medication. The drug is taken daily and, in combination with safe-sex practices, appears to substantially reduce the risk of infection. Truvada is not a new drug. The FDA previously approved it for use with other HIV drugs to treat HIV infection. The approval "marks an important milestone in our fight against HIV," said FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg. "Every year, about 50,000 U.S. adults and adolescents are diagnosed with HIV infection, despite the availability of prevention methods and strategies to educate, test, and care for people living with the disease. New treatments as well as prevention methods are needed to fight the HIV epidemic in this country." Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Obesity rates in kids beginning to drop We saw the first hint of progress in the battle against obesity a few years ago when the rates of obesity among kids stopped rising and appeared to stabilize. Now, however, several new studies confirm that rates are dropping in many corners of the nation. A study released this month from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation showed decreases in child obesity have been seen in New York City, Philadelphia and parts of California and Mississippi. Between 2006 and 2011, the obesity rate among schoolchildren fell by about five percent in New York City and Philadelphia. The progress comes in regions that have made a concerted effort to address obesity. Both New York and California have menu labeling laws, for example. New York City now requires daycare centers to offer physical activity. In Philadelphia, sodas were banned from school vending machines many years ago. Studies show that one-third of U.S. children are overweight and 17 percent are obese. Photo: Mitchell Funk/Getty Images Court strikes down graphic cigarette warning labels The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit voted two to one in August to strike down a law requiring large, graphic warning labels be placed on cigarette packages—a decision that has dealt a blow to the anti-tobacco campaign. Many countries allow graphic warning labels—such as a photo of someone dying of lung cancer—on cigarette packages, and U.S. public health authorities were hoping to join that trend. Right now, only a written warning message appears on tobacco products. Tobacco companies contend that graphic images violate the First Amendment's free-speech clause. The court sided with that point of view, also stating that the federal government had failed to show that the addition of graphic images would reduce smoking rates—even though studies have shown that the pictorial warning labels are effective in reducing smoking. It's not yet clear how the FDA, which has authority over tobacco products, will respond to the ruling. Photo: Australian Government/Getty Images Pertussis rates hit record levels in the vaccination era A vaccine to prevent pertussis, also known as whooping cough, has been around for decades. Nevertheless, the virus is making a vicious comeback, with rates this year reaching the highest levels in five decades. Several factors are to blame. One is that more parents today are refusing to have their children vaccinated, which leads to a large group of vulnerable people. But this year medical experts have also released studies showing that the vaccine, which was reformulated in the late 1990s to be safer, may not be as effective as first thought. The booster shot that children receive around age 11 appears to offer a much shorter period of protection. Discussions are now underway to address the flaws in the pertussis vaccination program. Health officials may recommend more frequent booster shots or may look for a better vaccine. Whooping cough is most dangerous for infants. This year federal health authorities also urged all pregnant women to receive a pertussis booster shot in order to protect their infants from the disease. Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Boomers should get hepatitis C test The federal government issued a recommendation in May advising all Baby Boomers to get tested for hepatitis C. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nation is facing a huge wave of liver-related illnesses in the coming years. An estimated two million adults—one in every 30 boomers—have hepatitis C, but the virus is often silent for many years, and people don't know they're infected until they experience severe health problems. People born from 1945 to 1965 have higher rates of the virus than other age groups. In many cases, people were exposed decades ago from using injected drugs. By getting tested now, an estimated 800,000 people will find out they carry the virus and can get medical treatment to prevent cancer, liver cirrhosis and other complications. Photo: Tim Whitby/Getty Images Two obesity medications hit the market The first new prescription obesity medication in 13 years was approved by the FDA in June. And, only weeks later, a second drug was approved as well. The medications are much-needed options for people who battle obesity and have failed to lose weight, or sustain a weight loss, using diet and exercise. Over the past few years, several pharmaceutical companies have sought FDA approval for weight-loss drugs only to be met with skepticism or concerns from FDA advisory committees or the FDA itself. The first new medication, lorcaserin, which will be sold under the brand name Belviq, was originally denied approval by the FDA due to concerns that it might cause heart problems. The second drug to be approved is called Qsymia, but was formerly called Qnexa. It, too, was originally turned down by the FDA due to concerns about the drug's impact on the heart. However, patients and doctors who treat obesity had loudly protested FDA's reluctance and ultimately succeeded in convincing the agency that some risks associated with medication treatment are acceptable given the range of health problems caused by obesity. Photo: Vivus Inc. Planned Parenthood battles attacks This was a tough year for Planned Parenthood. The organization, one of the largest providers of women's health services in the country, was rattled in January when officials at the Susan G. Komen Foundation said they would stop providing funds to Planned Parenthood clinics for breast-health services. The move was largely viewed as a veiled attempt by Komen to dissociate itself from an abortion provider. But a public outcry led to a quick reversal of the decision, the resignation of a top Komen executive and, later in the year, the resignation of founder Nancy Brinker as chief executive of the Komen Foundation. Planned Parenthood's woes continued this year, however. The organization has fought attempts of Republicans in Congress to strip it of federal funds for non-abortion-related health services. Several states, including North Carolina, are seeking to halt public funding to Planned Parenthood. Photo: Bradenton Herald/Getty Images Progress on a vaccine to protect against HIV Following FDA approval, Canadian researchers began the first human clinical trial to test an experimental vaccine to cure HIV. The vaccine, called SAV001, is being tested in a phase I trial, which is a study to simply assess safety. But it's still a monumental step forward after three decades of the disease. HIV can be treated but cannot be cured by existing therapies. The vaccine uses killed whole HIV-1 in a method that is similar to the way vaccines for polio or flu work—by stimulating a strong immune response against the real virus. The HIV-1 contained in the vaccine is genetically engineered, so it's safe and can be made in large quantities.

Oskar Almazan's curator insight, March 14, 2:44 PM
Virtual reality is one of the hottest edtech trends. Not only are students allowed the opportunity to emerge themselves into a subject but can travel the world from their desk chairs. While not readily available in every classroom, programs such as Google Cardboard aim to make VR headsets cheap and accessible. The majority of students in the USA own a cell phone, and with many of these educational apps available on both iOs and the iTunes-enabled devices, they are becoming more accessible to more students. Educationally, these VR apps allow students to visualize concepts that were confined to the pictures in a textbook

Munch goes to Mount Everest Sushi
Sushi donuts and sushi tacos on the menu at fast casual Oakland spot.
Munch grew up down the street from a Scottish joint that served sushi one day a week. That's right, on Sushi Tuesday (or Monday?), you could get your oatmeal-stuffed sheep intestines with a side of raw fish. Munch found this pretty unappetizing, and wondered who the heck would go to a Scottish restaurant to get sushi? That'd be like trying to order pizza from Primanti Brothers, or proposing a tax on local college students. Nonsense.
Burma Tokyo, a new restaurant in the heart of the charming Bohemia of Oakland, does just this: combining two disparate and difficult-to-master cuisines on the same menu, side by side. (At least both are on the Asian continent.)
The hole-in-the-wall joint serves a wide selection of sushi and hibachi items, but its real treasure is the Burmese cuisine. And the food is prepared fresh and fast, making it an ideal choice for both Foodie Friend of Munch and Perpetually Busy Friend of Munch, who was looking for a meal that could be eaten quickly and with his favorite food, Blackberry (the electronic version).
To be clear, the sushi is not terrible, it's just not great. And on Munch's first visit, Munch and Foodie Friend of Munch ordered a lobster Masago roll ($6) and the pork dumplings ($4.99) for starters. The lobster roll was forgettable, but the pork dumplings by comparison were standouts. Scrumptious pork and scallion filling were wrapped in a beautifully crunchy, almost pastry-like jacket and served with a sweetened soy sauce dipping accompaniment.
And Munch, regrettably, started off with an incredibly rich avocado shake ($3.50), a heavenly creamy smoothie of avocado, cream and a touch of honey. It was simultaneously strange and delicious (Munch that avocado was a savory thing!) but it quickly ate up valuable tummy space for the banquet that was to come.
Next came the Burmese food. First there was the Kyar San Hingar ($7), which the menu indicated is "One of the most famous soups in Burma." Munch agreed. If Kyar San Hingar was a Pittsburgh celebrity, it'd be like Michael Keaton: famous, but for good reason, like the Batman movies. The broth -- intensely salty with fish sauce -- was chock full of glass noodles and fish balls. (Stop your giggling. They're the Asian cousin of gefilte fish.) Munch and FFOM slurped it up enthusiastically. The accompaniments of lime and cilantro offered a welcome respite from the occasionally overwhelming saltiness of the dish.
Next came the Dan Pauk, which was listed under the section of the menu of specialty dishes from other Asian counties, but our waitress explained that these foods were actually Burmese. Burmese food is heavily influenced by Burma's Asian neighbors, near and far, so the food was listed with its influence. In the case of the Dan Pauk, it was India.
The rice and chicken dish came out wonderfully, a whole thigh of chicken cooked to moist perfection. The bed of rice it sat on was punctuated by cashews and tangy raisins and flavored with a blend of spices, curry and cinnamon among them.
With PBFOM, we had little time to linger, so we ordered the dumplings, the pork sumai ($4.99) and a piping hot bowl of Kyae Oae ($7), a Burmese noodle soup. The sumai (Japanese dumplings) came out a little on the soggy side. The Kyae Oae had a simple clear broth filled with opaque rice noodles and a menagerie of toppings, including creamy-centered quail eggs, pork meatballs and fish balls.
PBFOM's assessment came in the enthusiasm with which he slurped down the noodles and shoveled in the sumai, rather than in actual words.
So Munch's call? Come for the Burmese food, stay for the waitress' tales of her homeland of Burma and leave the sushi. Period.

Main description
It's not the first on-line stock trading emulation game, but the people at Invoost have hit upon what they feel will entice prospective traders everywhere. They looked at existing online systems and analysed why those systems came across in the main as boring - no real money ( hence little emotional involvement) was changing hands.
So the new social investment game Invoost was dreamt up, where users initially trade and compete with friends for virtual money, yet have the chance to win real money.
Jonathan Levy and Tyler Maglione were two of the stars at Spain Startup & Investor summit July 2012 where their presentation inspired many to enrol on the site straight away.
I'm one of those who were blown away by the presentation. Invoost is looking to become the world leader in their field, and I believe they will accomplish this - in fact I'm betting on it.

Memorial Day 2013
Dr. Al Ahlgrim has two gravesites he would have liked to have visited this Memorial Day but, living in Oregon, he was between those two disparate locations — Brainerd's Evergreen Cemetery and National Memorial Cemetery in Honolulu.
The retired eye doctor, who lives in Oregon City, Ore., will remember, in particular, the two World War II soldiers who are buried in those cemeteries — his father, Mel Ahlgrim in Brainerd, and his cousin and namesake. Alvin Ahlgrim in Hawaii.
Dr. Ahlgrim is 65 now and wants people to remember the sacrifices of those who served the U.S. in World War II. He shared a story about his father and his cousin, compiled primarily from his father's stories, with the Brainerd Dispatch.
"That was part of my motivation for the whole thing (the story he wrote). Maybe to perpetuate it a little longer."
Three men, all related and all with a very real connection to World War II.
Alvin Ahlgrim
Brainerd Daily Dispatch (June 1, 1945) — PFC Alvin R. Ahlgrim, 21, a Marine, was killed in action in the fighting on Okinawa his mother, Mrs. Gladys Ahlgrim, West Brainerd, was informed today. The message sent by Gen. A. A. Vandergrift, commanding the Marine Corps, said the Marine was killed May 20.
PFC Ahlgrim was born in Brainerd and was a graduate of Washington High School.
Alvin Ahlgrim was Dr. Ahlgrim's cousin. Born June 17, 1923, Alvin lived with his mother at the home of his grandfather, Louis Ahlgrim, on Charles Street in west Brainerd. In May of 1943, young Alvin, a recent high school graduate, came home and announced he had joined the Marines. His motivation, in part, was to fight and help liberate American POWs like Mel Ahlgrim (Dr. Ahlgrim's father and Alvin Ahlgrim's uncle). Mel Ahlgrim had fought in Bataan, survived the Bataan Death March and was imprisoned by the Japanese.
Dr. Ahlgrim, 65, wrote that Alvin Ahlgrim told the family "the Marines will be the first ones to get to Mel and rescue him."
The invasion of Okinawa began April 1, 1945, Dr. Ahlgrim wrote, and would claim the lives of thousands of U.S. soldiers and sailors with tens of thousands wounded. Alvin Ahlgrim died at a location called Sugar Loaf Hill, according to Dr. Ahlgrim. He fell short of his goal of rescuing his Brainerd uncle.
"I was very young when my father told me that I was named after someone special to him," Dr. Ahlgrim wrote. "When I asked questions about Alvin, not much was said. My dad, grandfather and Aunt Gladys just couldn't seem to say much. I would just see solemn faces. I was only able to understand when I was older that the subject was just too painful for them to bear."
Mel Ahlgrim
The big news on Aug. 6, 1945, in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp where Mel Ahlgrim was held, was of the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima. Japanese guards first thought the dropping of the first atomic bomb was a massive bombardment of several bombs at one time.
It was Mel Ahlgrim's 32nd birthday.
Shortly after the dropping of the second atomic bomb on Japan, the war ended and the POWs were liberated by U.S. troops. Mel Ahlgrim received medical care on a hospital ship and then in Hawaii. He then spent nine months recuperating in a San Francisco hospital. When he was discharged he was flown to Minneapolis and taken by ambulance to his family's home in Brainerd.
"He spoke little of his time in hell," Dr. Ahlgrim wrote. "Occasionally a brief sentence would pop out of him of some atrocity. He kept it mostly to himself."
Dr. Al Ahlgrim
Dr. Ahlgrim's father, Mel, was in remarkably good health for most of his life, according to his son. He returned to Brainerd where he worked for the Northern Pacific Railroad and the Minnesota Highway Department.
Mel Ahlgrim occasionally was plagued by bad dreams and did not tolerate heat because he had contracted malaria and other tropical diseases while he was a POW.
"Physically, he was quite healthy," Dr. Ahlgrim said. "He wasn't sickly. He wasn't deranged. He was healthy."
Mel Ahlgrim died in his early 70s.
Dr. Ahlgrim worked as a Stearns County deputy before studying optometry. He was a 1966 graduate of Washington High School in Brainerd.
As he grew to adulthood and accompanied his father to Bataan reunions he learned more stories of atrocities carried out by Japanese soldiers.
"Whatever has been written about their suffering and whatever honors they received can never be overstated," Dr. Ahlgrim wrote.
Still, even at the reunions the talk was mostly of families and of old buddies who didn't survive the war, Dr. Ahlgrim said.
Food was of paramount importance to the Bataan veterans, perhaps because they knew what it was like to go hungry.
"They were damn tough," Dr. Ahlgrim recalled. "They still could drink pretty good. They had a big breakfast, then they had highballs, then lunch — they had another massive meal. They'd cap off the day with a big supper and more drinks."
Dr. Ahlgrim recalled sharing a room with Bataan veterans who were "snoring and burping all night."
Last summer, for the first time, Dr. Ahlgrim visited the gravesite of his namesake and cousin, Alvin Ahlgrim at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. He said at one time he had considered having his cousin's remains returned to Brainerd but after visiting the pristine Hawaiian cemetery he felt that his namesake belonged in a paradise.
"It was beautiful and solemn," Dr. Ahlgrim said. "I'd been wanting to go for years."
The retired doctor named one of his sons after his cousin, Alvin Ahlgrim.
"I dedicate Alvin's story to honor all those veterans who have never had their story told," Dr. Ahlgrim wrote. "Many of those lost stories came to pass because of the events on the Bataan peninsula in 1942."
There's little doubt that the two World War II soldiers will be in Dr. Ahlgrim's thoughts on Memorial Day.
"I wish I could visit both of their graves," he said.

Yay a non vista related problem (just kidding, I actually love Vista very much)
Okay so I'll get started.
I got an m2n-SLI board with an AMD 5000+ and 2gb of gskill DDR2800 ram.
Here are some links:
I know that the motherboard works because the light is green and all the fans are on, etc. I don't think the computer would even turn on if the processor had been shorted or something...
One thing that I could think of is that I need a new heatsink. I just ordered one but is this enough for my monitor to not turn on? My case is lying sideways because my heatsink can't stay on my processor when it is upright. Sounds weird, I know but I think the person who built the computer for me forgot to include some of the supplies I needed for the heatsink on a AM2 mobo, because I upgraded from a 939.
So everything seems to work except there is a red light on my front panel and my monitor doesn't turn on. The fans work, my graphics card fan, etc and the mobo light turns on.

Swinging has a number of definitions, and one of which pertains to couples sharing and swapping partners in bed.

Clarke keen to keep strikers
Steve Clarke senses that he may be at odds with West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace over the number of strikers in his squad.
Clarke believes there may be some pressure from the boardroom to prune his strike force, but is committed to hanging on to his five strikers beyond the summer transfer window.
Swedish international Markus Rosenberg, described by his boss as "electric" in training this week, is set to join the stampede for places in the weekend clash at Tottenham.
However, he has to force a way past the likes of Shane Long - who led the line in the opening-day dismantling of Liverpool - Peter Odemwingie, Romelu Lukaku and Marc-Antoine Fortune.
"I have not made the job easy for myself," Clarke said. "I could have kept two strikers for every week, but you need goals and I have five really good strikers. I want to keep them all.
"I know the chairman might see different, but competition for forward places is important. If they can all chip in with eight goals, you are a long way towards the amount you need to stay in the Premier League."
Rosenberg has been playing "catch-up", Clarke said, because he was considered to be short of match fitness when he arrived on a free transfer after Euro 2012.
He was not even on the bench against Liverpool but has this week added to the pressure on the other four forwards, who all figured in the 3-0 win.
"Markus was electric in training, so he's looking good," Clarke said. "He'll be in the party to go to Tottenham. The fact that he didn't even make the squad on Saturday is a reminder to the players of the competition for places and the fact that they all have to perform. If he'd been signed a week earlier, he would have made my job even more difficult.
"I had fantastic options on the bench against Liverpool. You can't have enough good players. I want this [picking the team] to be my hardest job. I want players to put me under pressure. You saw that with the two boys who came off the bench [Lukaku and Fortune]."
The conundrum is complicated further by the fact Albion have sometimes opted to play with only one out-and-out striker and left Odemwingie cutting in from wide on the right.
The manager had no objection to the Nigerian grabbing the ball from James Morrison when Albion were awarded their second penalty four days ago.
Shane Long, the nominated taker, had earlier seen a feeble kick saved by Pepe Reina when the in-form Morrison, with both hands on the ball, walked towards the spot following a second foul in the area.
Odemwingie then took the ball and scored, and Clarke said the matter was resolved among the players at the time. He added: "Once I saw Peter with the ball, I was happy enough, and he tucked it away well."

To arrive at an unknown place and to feel at home in an instant - that is possible thanks to the incredibly friendly, welcoming and trusting host Christine, who felt like a friend after only three days.
Christine, thank you so much for your outstanding hospitality, for sharing your wonderful home with travellers, for your patience talking in French to us, for the evenings with wine, cheese, cake & home made majonaise, for your good advices, for the laughter, the exciting conversations, the beautiful room, the good sleep... and for so much more.
I hope we meet again soon.
This place was nothing short INCREDIBLE. First of all, we felt like old friends/family staying with her, we didn't feel like we were just paying for a room upstairs. Her house is very well decorated and SO CLEAN, each nook and cranny is spotless. There was plenty of space, everywhere, even the front yard is beautiful and charming. The bathroom was spacious and very updated with great views. The bed/bedroom was a great size and very comfortable, the room had great storage and she even had a little vanity area to write/get ready. Chris was extremely personable, and the first night we stayed she dropped us off at a restaurant she recommended. Her house is WELL WORTH IT and if you stay in the Paris area, do yourself a favor and stay. It's located conveniently down the street from a tube station and has restaurants a french bakery down the road. I can't say enough about how wonderful of a person Chris is, we had great conversation and laughs, we felt so sad to go! We will definitely go back and stay!
Christine has a wonderful house in a nice and quiet area that is still close to the centre of Paris. The room and the bathroom are very beautiful and clean.
Christine is a very sweet person and a great host. She gives you advise and is always there for a nice talk.
We really enjoyed our stay at her place and can totally recommend it!
I am so happy that I chose this place for our weekend in Paris! Christine was unbelievable helpfull, frank and absolutly friendly! We were so nervous to get our bus back to Germany early enough so she brought us through the half town with her car to get to the bus! And although we don't speak French it was so nice, interesting and easy to communicate with her, her english is very good. Also the room and the bathroom were so cute, even better than on the fotos! It was clean, large and so comfortable with a wooden floor, a large soft bed and flowers ahead the windows. We didn't want to leave it!
The house was also just 5-10 minutes to walk away from the next metro-station. So this room and Christine made our great holiday complete! Thanks!
Christine was such great hostess. She made our stay somewhat lovely, warm and cozy that definitely made me want to return. I sure recommend her place, even being a bit far from Paris (about 10min), we were able to figure out the metro and train to get around, but perhaps the best thing about returning "home" is that the house and its furniture were so organized and clean that make me feel coming "home".
My stay at Christine was perfect. I was alone but felt save in her house and the surroundings. A beautiful house, a fantastic room and bed, I really felt at home in a way. We talked a lot, but I felt free to do my own thing, when I wanted......
If I come back to Paris I certainly will choose this place again. Its nearby the metro, nearby shops, easy to reach by car and a very quiet neighbourhoud....
Christine has a warm hart and helps you in any whay nesceserry......
Thanx Christine, it was just what I needed, much better than an inpersonal hotel............
The room was very nice and clean. Christine is a very lovely lady who tries to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Paris is only 10 minutes by Subway. We sure will go back. Thank you Christine.
Dear Christine
We enjoyed our visit to Paris. It was even better then I expected. One of the reasons was your hospatillity and your house.
Beside that your house is was all very clean, the studentes were nice and friendly, you all speak English, you give good advise about the trains, metro, diner and highlights.
We hope to come back once.
Douwe and Anita
We felt really comfortable at Christines place. She is a lovely person. The house is not far away, only one station from Gare du Lyon. I would always stay at Christines place again. Thank you very much Christine. All the best Julia
Die Unterkunft bei Christine ist absolut empfehlenswert! Sie ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, die sich um alle Fragen und Wünsche der Gäste kümmert. Der Urlaub bei ihr war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! Das Haus und das Grundstück sind wunderschön. Das Zimmer, in dem die Gäste unterkommen ist stilvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber.
Auch das Bad ist sauber und schön eingerichtet.
Die Lage des Hauses ist zwar nicht im Zentrum von Paris, aber eine Zuganbindung 5 Minuten vom Haus entfernt bringt euch in 10-15 Minuten mitten in die Stadt. Christine brachte uns sogar zum Zug und half uns mit den Tickets.
In ruhiger und angenehmer Nachbarschaft braucht man sich auch keine Sorgen um sein Auto beispielsweise machen.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder!
Staying with Christine is absolutely recommendable! She's a great hostess who takes care of the guests questions and requests. The holiday with her was an unforgettable experience! The house and garden are beautiful. The guest-room is stylishly decorated and very clean.
The bathroom is clean as well and really large.
Although the location of the house is not in the center of Paris, there is no problem to get to the city centre. There's a train station 5 minutes away from the house. You can get to the city centre in 10-15 minutes. Christine even took us to the train station and helped us with the tickets.
The house is located in a quiet and pleasant neighborhood. So you don't have to worry about your car or coming home late at night, for example.
We were very pleased and would definitely come back!

"Works You Hard, Should Probably Pay A Little More"

Helpful (13)
I have been working at EY full-time
1) EY is good about flexibility. As long you have quality work, communicate your whereabouts and personal schedule, and are prepared for all client and management interactions, you can work wherever/whenever you want. If you want to travel, you can travel all over the world. If you don't want to travel, you can stay local all year long. It doesn't help or hurt you whatever your wants/needs are for your schedule. EY tries to be an open firm and can only achieve that if its people are open about what they need from them.
2) The pay is decent - I'm glad to make what I make; however, a few things: I think they are a little chincy when it comes to pay. There was a group who did not get a market raise in salary when they started two years after they did their internship and they were the only year to not get signing bonuses, which they said they would consider but of course, nothing was considered (see Con #2 below). Staff this year and years going forward are not eligible for performance bonuses, which I think will just make them mad and leave or not care and perform poorly and when there are no staff to do good work....well then, everyone's jobs get a little more crazy. Raises were usually around 8-13% depending on year-end rating; however a new APB program is changing this (see Con #3 below).
3) EY is an amazing place to start your career. You gain alot of technical experience and managerial skills dealing with their wide variety of engagements and internal advising program. This is evident in their accelerated career progression. If you are home-grown, you can expect to be a staff for 2 years, senior for 3 years, manager for 3-5 years, and then senior manager which is a holding place for partner/principal. If you are brought in as experienced, depending on well you perform, you could have to stay at the same level you were brought in for another year. Usually they will give you two years before telling you that you need to seek new opportunities which is a long time in my opinion (see Con #1 below). Also, your network grows exponentially the day you start. Of course, it's up to you if you want to nurture those relationships but you are given ample opportunity. You could probably meet someone different every day in a different industry, town, country, client, etc for the first year you work here. EY is also a place of personal branding. They give you the tools to create what you stand for.
4) Some could view this as a Con, but I felt it was good for me. Some like to say "you are thrown into the fire the day after training". I know I was along with several of my colleagues, in actuality, it was Day 3, not Day 1. Being challenged to the point you almost wet yourself, you learn within your first month of employment about what others would learn in 3 years of working.
5) EY teaches you to effectively and efficiently think on your feet, provides you the tools to succeed and rounds out your set of skills. They use your strengths heavily and build them up even more. You are an asset and they treat as such.
I actually really like it here. It's engaging, different, if you don't like someone, usually you only have to work with them for a month of the time, some of my best friends work here. Benefits are good, assistance is good. But my main complaints in order of importance to me are as follows:
1) For the most part, 95% of the people here are competent and are high achievers who take responsibility for when they screw up and are quick to encourage and help you. The other 5% are why people are overworked and end up leaving, and they usually pair their highest performers with these 5% because the audit still needs to get done. Even a year where the high performer has to do 85% of several Fortune 100 audit by themselves and successfully handle 13 other engagements is enough to drive someone mad; I think you literally have steal money before they will let anyone go. And I think they are ok keeping someone who is in that 5% group and losing the good worker, because they know the good worker will probably go to their clients helping them out anyways in the long run.
2) This is a very politically correct firm which is why certain people are not let go and why they are a lot of talk when it comes to addressing problems but are either unwilling or very slow to do anything that would actually change the way stuff is done, and in order to be a "high performer aka 5 rating", you must dedicate 50% of your life outside of work to activities hosted by the firm, picnics, fundraisers, holiday parties, group outings, women's events, recruiting (basically live and breathe the black and yellow) and you must plan and organize them as well and they must be fun and exciting and over the top and creative. Also it is strongly encouraged go golfing with the uppers to move your career along. AND if you are a poor performer (5% mentioned above) but you do all the things I just mentioned, you are probably still going to be labeled as a high performer and they will not fire you.
3) A new APB plan that goes into effect this year gives you the "about the same" raise (all the examples showed a 6-10% raise rather than a 8-13% raise you would have got) with an up to 9 - 18% bonus based on your year-end rating: 3, 4 or 5 and your rank: senior, manager etc. For the first year this is in effect, you obviously make more with this plan. The second year, you make a little less, third year, a little less, because you make less with a smaller compounded base salary. I thought it was funny that they told this to a room full of accountants and said we would actually make more with this plan. It just takes away from your base and puts into a bonus and then your base salary isn't compounded as much as it would have been in the first place. Anyways, I'm anxious to see what actually happens in the next few years I'm here.
I have been working at EY full-time (More than a year)
Working at EY is a great place to start your career because of the work experience in many different industries. The culture and people at the firm are what sets EY apart from the other big 4.
It's no secret that auditors work long hours, and EY is no different. The business structure can be lengthy as there is a set time frame for promotions.
I worked at EY full-time (Less than a year)
One of the best places to walk out of after a few years
People above you will smile at you until a performance review and then slam you if they don't love you and your work.

De la colleción Beach el que más me gustó fue Wednesday, un verde azulado, con un estilo "antiguo".
Hi! Today I have one of the new Zoya just released for this Summer. The collection is divided in Beach (all except one are cremes) and Surf (foils).
I picked Wednesday from Beach Collection, is a beautiful green with blue undertones, very "vintage".
En todas las fotos uso/ I'm using for the pictures:
- Essie First Base top coat
- Zoya Wednesday x2
Muy lindo y elegante, super ponible con todo. No es tan brillante como para no poder usarlo todo el año.
Sin dudas mi elegido de la colección Beach!
I don't know if it's because of my skin tone, but based on the pictures I'd seen, I was expecting more blue in it. In me, it looks green. It's that kind of vintage green that reminds me of the color of my grandma's walls!! Well you know, that color that was used in cars, bathroom tiles, furniture... a little blue, a little dusty.
I find it very elegant and easy to wear. That dusty tone makes it great not just for summer, but for all year!
Definitely this is my favorite of the Beach Collection!!

Coalition airstrikes "killed dozens of civilians taking shelter from fighting" between Taliban militants and international troops Afghan officials and ordinary citizens tell the Associated Press.
Reports are still preliminary. And the reputed death tolls vary widely — from 30 combatants dead to "well over 100 civilians."
"It is very difficult to say how many were killed because nobody can count the number, it is too early," Mohammad Nieem Qadderdan, the former top official in the district of Bala Baluk, tells the AP. "People are digging through rubble with shovels and hands."The top U.S. spokesman in Afghanistan, Col. Greg Julian, says coalition forces "will immediately investigate the claims to determine what happened."
The fighting in Bala Baluk, near the Iranian border, broke out after the Taliban publicly executed three former government officials. The provincial police chief, Abdul Ghafar, said at least 25 militants and three police officers died in the ensuing combat, near the village of Ganjabad.
The problem of civilian deaths has been at the center of the Afghanistan war, for years. In 2004, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan curtailed air strikes over concerns that the deaths of innocents were undermining support of the Afghan people. Since then, the Taliban have become even more adept at exploiting civilian casualty reports in their own propaganda campaign. Last November, in a statement congratulating Barack Obama on his election victory, Afghan President Hamid Karzai "demand[ed]" that "civilian casualties [be] eliminated."
Before U.S. Air Force planes hit targets in Afghanistan as part of pre-planned operations, lawyers and intelligence officers in the Combined Air and Space Operations Center (CAOC) match those targets with cell-phone intercepts, informants' tips, and "pattern of life" studies. Other airmen estimate the likelihood of civilian casualties, with "Raindrop," a classified simulation tool that models local traffic patterns, structural compositions, and bomb blast patterns. It's a process so rigorous that even Human Rights Watch says that the chances of civilian casualties are near nil, when it's followed.
The problem is that the vast majority of U.S. air attacks in Afghanistan don't come during these carefully-constructed, pre-planned operations. Instead, bombs and missiles are unleashed during so-called "troops-in-contact" situations. That's when ground forces are taking enemy fire, and need close air support — that very second. There's no time to piece together sophisticated collateral damage estimates at the CAOC. Instead, they have to be done in a hurry, from the ground. The process can get even more convoluted when special operations forces are involved.
That may be what happened in Bala Baluk. A Western official in Kabul tells the AP that "Marine special operations forces… had called in the airstrikes."
UPDATE: The International Committee of the Red Cross is on the scene, and confirming the broad outlines of the story. "What our team saw was dozens of bodies, graves and people preparing burials," spokesperson Jessica Barry tells the New York Times. The dead included women and children. "It's not the first time," Barry adds, but "really this is one of the very serious and biggest incidents for a very long time."
"We know that those killed included an Afghan Red Crescent volunteer and 13 members of his family who had been sheltering from fighting in a house that was bombed in an air strike," ICRC's point person in Kabul, Reto Stocker, says in a statement. "We are deeply concerned by these events. Tribal elders in the villages called the ICRC during the fighting to report civilian casualties and ask for help. As soon as we heard of the attacks we contacted all sides to warn them that there were civilians and injured people in the area."
Taliban mouthpiece Qari Yusof Ahmadi says the attack was carried out by "American jet and pilotless aircraft." He also claims that "three military tanks were destroyed and 15 enemy soldiers were killed and a large number were wounded in yesterday's attack. The mojahedin also seized a military vehicle and a large number of light and heavy weapons in the attack."
UPDATE 2: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just apologized for the civilian deaths. "We deeply regret it. We don't know all of the circumstances or causes. And there will be a joint investigation, by your government and ours," she said. "But any loss of life, any loss of innocent life, is particularly painful. And I want to convey to the people of both Afghanistan and Pakistan that.. we will work very hard, with your governments and with your leaders, to avoid the loss of innocent civilian life. And we deeply, deeply regret that loss."

About thirty years ago in his signature work Amusing Ourselves to Death, Neil Postman warned that the encroaching entertainment industry threatened to undermine society's ability to deal with fundamental issues.

She believes in a woman's right to choose but when one of her friends, also a mother, told her she was planning an abortion, part of Loccke wanted to say, "Don't do this.

1979 malibu 350 turbo tran
I am in the process of restoring a 1979 Malibu Clasic, 2 door. I have just replaced the rearend with your basic 10 bolt. The car has been sitting up for about 2 years. The trandimition has plenty of fluid. I have just replaced the modulator valve that tells it when to shift. The tran. still wont shift. I am not a perfitional mechanic, just someone who is good with wrenches. If you have any advice for me as to how to solve this problem please let me know. <img src="graemlins/crash.gif" border="0" alt="[crash]" />
what is the condition of the trans fluid, if it has a burnt smell, you'll need an over haul. if it is ok . remove the govner, it is the round cover near back of the trans, with the cover off,pull the govner out and check the nylon gear at the end . the gear should be flat and square, if it is beveled, this is your problem.(replace gear or govner) if not there is a small vavle in the govner , make sure it is free to move by shaking it, (if stuck, clean or replace) if ok . it may be a problem with your vavle body, the 1-2 shift vavle may be stuck, or bad gaskets, or your intermediade clutch, or one way sprage clutch , may be bad. these last 3 problems you should have a trans tech check them out. I hope this info helps you out!

Please Spay / Neuter Your Pets! Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. and 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will NEVER be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, millions of healthy, loving cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies face early deaths as a form of animal control. Others are left to fend for themselves against automobiles, the elements, animals, and cruel humans. YOU can help stop the suffering, please spay or neuter your pets.
Guardian Angels Animal Rescue is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, volunteer organization committed to helping unwanted animals in the DFW area. Most of our animals are rescued from local animal shelters, before they are euthanized.
All animals are fostered in our homes until suitable homes can be found--no animal is ever euthanized because a suitable home could not be found.
Animals are available for adoption within the 50 mile area surrounding the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex in Texas.
Minimum donation of $125.00 for dogs and $85 for cats is requested.
Complete adoption application, interview, vet reference, and home visit required. Adoptive families must live within 50 miles of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex.
Foster Homes
Like most rescue groups, we are in desperate need of loving, caring homes for our rescued dogs and cats to live in, in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. You can specify what type of dog or cat you can foster - large, small, short-haired, long-haired - and we'll help find a match!
We can provide a crate, plus all of the vet care required. You must provide the day-to-day attention and love that these animals so desparately need. We also ask that you bring them to our adoption sites at least twice a month.

Mid October Fishing Report. Waiting for Hurricane Rick
Dominating the news in Southern Baja this past week surely was Tropical Storm Patricia. This tropical storm formed late in the season in the warm waters south of Manzanillo and slowly progressed in the direction of Cabo San Lucas and even though the system never really gained significant strength it did hold large quantities of moisture, which accounted for moderate to heavy rainfall felt throughout the region. Sportfishing operations came to a sudden halt for three days, business had finally increased the fleets, now they are dealt another setback. The storm did weaken as it neared land fall, then it veered off towards the west where it quickly dissipated. Besides leaving rainfall upwards of five inches in isolated areas there was only the normal moderate flooding reported and road cleanup crews will be working overtime in the coming days. Fishing Fleets have now resumed operations on Thursday morning with calm seas prevailing and live bait plentiful. Ocean temperatures ranged 80 to 84 degrees throughout most of the area, water clarity fluctuated from spot to spot, but was on an improving trend. At this time there are clear sunny skies and businesses are eager to get back into action.
The latest news of the extremely powerful category five Hurricane Rick that developed rapidly off of Southern mainland Mexico and is now in a position about 500 miles south of Cabo San Lucas. This system is predicted to follow a course that would make landfall sometime on Wednesday very close to the Southern tip of Baja California, it is now has sustained winds of 180 mph, with gusts to 220 mph and heavy swells are projected to arrive by Sunday afternoon and only increase in coming days. All interests that are located in the path of this storm will need to take necessary precautions to protect their families and personal property. Very unusual for such a storm to develop this late in the season, it is also occurring during one of the busiest periods of tourism and especially for sportfishing operations this will really impact businesses financially. Even though Rick is supposed to weaken some before making landfall, it will remain a very dangerous hurricane capable of causing wide spread devastation.
Before TS Patricia really started to affect the area with scattered heavy rainfall on Sunday morning the fishing had been producing increased numbers of the usual fall favorites of dorado, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, with miscellaneous structure species and billfish. North winds were a problem to start last week, so many fleets were avoiding the churned choppy open ocean swells near the Iman and San Luis Banks, opting to concentrate their efforts in calmer currents close to shore off of Santa Maria. This is where blue water came within one mile of shore and anglers drift fished with live sardinas, finding excellent action for football sized yellowfin, dorado, sailfish, skipack and a few wahoo. The schools of fish moved in concentrations and came up feeding in isolated areas, anglers that found themselves in the right spot at a given time accounted for the fast action.
Wahoo were definitely becoming more active over this past full moon period and they continue to provide daily action for anglers specifically targeting these fish with their arsenal of proven lures. San Luis to Vinorama has been the region where these wahoo have been more numerous to start off their annual season, the fish that have been landed averaged in the 20 to 45 pound class. Deep diving Rapala type trolling plugs have been most successful up until now, with a percentage of wahoo striking on lead or jet heads dressed with squid skirts. So far the wahoo season is showing promising signs of leading up to expectations.
With the inevitable heavy boat pressure in the coming weeks, there is the question as to if supplies of live sardinas will remain plentiful?, these are always the preferred baitfish for the popular medium sized gamefish action and will certainly be a key to success. Recently sardinas have been found congregated along the rock jetties of the Puerto Los Cabos Marina channel. Commercial pangeros reporting finding schools of the same baitfish off of Palmilla Point, this of course can happen only when surf conditions cooperate. Caballito are being netted from the same rocky areas.
The combined panga fleets launching from La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos sent out approximately 44 charters for the storm shortened week, with anglers accounted for: 2 striped marlin, 6 sailfish, 15 wahoo, 172 dorado, 89 yellowfin tuna, 18 bonito, 36 black skipjack, 4 dogtooth snapper, 11 barred pargo, 8 rainbow runner, 11 amberjack and

I took these photos after a class I'm taking in Harlem (mostly along Frederick Douglass blvd between 125th and 119th Street). Harlem has gone through some major changes in the last few decades. From wikipedia:
New York's revival in the late 20th century has led to renewal in Harlem as well. By 1995, Harlem was experiencing social and economic gentrification. Though the percentage of residents who are black peaked in 1950, the area remains predominantly black.
I had a chance to walk around and soak in some of the life in the community. It was great. Enjoy the photos!

The Revs have been devastated by injury this season, and finally ran out of gas in losing to the Chicago Fire 3-0. As a result, NE is officially eliminated from the MLS Cup Playoffs. Game 1 was a 0-0 tie in New England, so with the Chicago win at home, they win the aggregate 3-0 and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The loss marked the first time in the last seven years that the Revs did not advance to the Conference Finals. In fact, they had eliminated the Fire in each of the last three playoffs before 2008.
Chicago received goals from forward Chris Rolfe and defenders Wilman Conde and Gonzalo Segares, which gave the Fire more than enough to advance.
The Revs were clearly hurting without Taylor Twellman, who was out with injury. The future for both Twellman and the Revolution is unclear. This appeared to be their last run together at a Cup Championship.

The project has three primary foci. First, Extension education, synthesizing and intelligibly presenting the information that producers and advisors need to know in order to manage these diseases efficiently, effectively, and economically. Second, applied research (and limited basic research) to provide new information that will serve as the basis for improved management programs for traditional diseases and identify the causes and controls for new diseases as they arise.

Satterwhite and Johnson Bring Home Northwoods League Honors
Oct. 15, 2008
ROCHESTER, Minn. - Senior outfielder Cameron Satterwhite (Cincinnati, Ohio/Moeller) and junior first baseman Kevin Johnson (Willard, Ohio/Willard) both brought home postseason Northwoods League awards, the league office announced last week. Satterwhite played summer ball with the Green Bay Bullfrogs, while Johnson played for the St. Cloud River Bats.
Satterwhite, who hit .364 last season for Cincinnati, was a 2008 Rawlings Big Stick Award recipient after finishing the summer with the third-highest batting average among all Northwoods League outfielders. In 48 games with the Bullfrogs, Satterwhite hit .310 and collected 14 doubles, two home runs, 27 RBI, and owned a .465 slugging percentage and a .409 on-base percentage. To be eligible for the award, a player needed to have enough plate appearances to qualify for a batting title.
Johnson put his defensive skills on display this summer for the River Bats en route to claiming Rawlings Finest in Field Award. The annual award recognizes the top fielders at each position in the league, and Johnson recorded a .991 fielding percentage at first base. Despite receiving an award for his stellar defensive play this summer, Johnson performed well offensively, finishing the summer with a .313 average, five home runs, and 34 RBI.

Well as of today I'm no longer a Subaru owner. I got sick of waiting any longer for my Ford Raptor that's been on order for 6+ months so I bought a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon instead. It was dark when I got home so I don't have any pictures, but I'll post some tomorrow. It goes in next week to get a bunch of things thrown on it like a winch bumper and winch, extra skid plates, remote starter, and a few other things.
I'll miss the STI, but it was time for a new car again, and I wanted something I could tow my snowmobiles better with than my old Ford. This time around the STI made it almost 2 years versus my previous one that I had for 3 years. It's doubtful I'll buy one a third time unless it's a dedicated track/rally car at some point.
I have a set of Enkei wheels with practically brand new high performance summer tires (Direzza Star Specs) to sell as well as a Cobb AP, Nameless axleback muffler delete exhaust (black powdercoat), and an AEM intake. The wheels will fit either bolt pattern for a WRX or STI. Everything will be priced to sell as quickly as possible! If anybody has any preliminary offers send me a PM with a reasonable price. First decent offer will take anything! Discounts provided for buying multiple items too.

any body notice the dip above the wheel crowns after new quarter installed?
I notice this on a lot of cars that have had new quarters installed. It's an area that appears that a lot of guys generally don't even pay attention to cause it's not exactly a deal breaker for some standards of quality but at my shop we need to address this issue. I notice it on my Mustang where someone worked on the quarter. I used a straight edge and measured from a couple distances from the top of the quarter on the good side to get the true shape and noticed it was in on the replacement quarter smack dab in the middle of the wheel arch down low by the lip. I've seen some quarters come out of the box like that but am think some of this must be created by the people who install them as well. I noticed it on a cheap pile of a quarter I put on an Impala but can't recall if it was there to begin with. I do recall a struggle to get the quarter to fit the wheelhouse. Wondering if something I did caused this and if so, it seems pretty common.
Anyhow, being I have a 14 month old in the house I'm not the usual me when it comes to fixing my OWN car...yeah, go figure. So I tried to just mud over the low and couldn't live with myself doing it. At that point I told myself I was going to porto the quarter out at the wheel house without damaging the inner wheel house. It was too late at night to strip the mud off to see where the metal was so I gently pushed it out where I was sure it needed it. Looked like it was partially working. So today I'm gonna strip that area and really fine tune it. The only thing that sucks is that it's anyone's guess how much the darn outer quarter is gonna move as a unit with a 4 ton porto. it's pretty random from my past experiences. You might get one area to move and you'll move along the crown and an area 2" away won't budge. Another option is to use a stud gun to pull up those areas but it's not a dent, it's the unit itself being held in by tension, so without even attempting to pull it up with a dent puller I've assumed that it would equate to pulling a kink out of the quarter without pulling the quarter so it hasn't even been a thought. Anyhow, moving forward my attention will be drawn to that on the next quarter I do and am guessing, even though it's not the right thing, maybe I might consider moving out the outer wheel house with the quarter loosely on there and check fit til it's where it needs to be rather than wrestling the fit and perhaps causing the wheel crown area to sink in by forcing it on there. This isn't even an issue with a lot of shops but here it is, and that's not a fun area to be mudding.
Any opinions and thoughts on this appreciated. For the mean time I will push out that outer wheel house on my stang even though it's clear the outer wheel house is where it needs to be from factory but I'd rather have something irregular where it doesn't really matter as opposed to one area on the car with more filler than needed.
I know exactly the area that your talking about, usually right where the flange goes flat against the quarter mostly toward the rear half of the panel. This is an extremely tough spot to block out with a skim coat of filler because it is a low spot in a complex curve to a flat part of the panel. This is a common problem with the mustang quarters and yes they are like that before you install them and the fit to the inner wheel house just exaggerates the low spot even more. And you are right most times they are just overlooked by a lot of shops because the level of quality is not there. And like I said it is a VERY hard area to get perfectly ripple free because you need a hard but yet flexible curved block to get it right. Definatly a challege spot to make perfect for sure.

on the Impala I did I mudded it but not exactly to the true shape cause I noticed it was right below the body line so the differing planes hid it in a way. It worked. It "hid" it fine. On this Mustang there's nothing really to hide it. It's smack dab right there for all to see, on top of knowing there's a pretty sharp line around the wheel crown that has to be perfect or defined, which makes this all a nightmare to deal with in filler. Almost to the point where I'm looking at prices for new quarters.
Martin has an answer for this and is reminding me why he shouldn't spill the beans. Spill the beans old man! This is why you are on this site!
There are no beans to spill. Can you post a photo so we know exactly what you are talking about, I am not clear. I have an idea but want to be clear.
I just fixed it. I put a porto power angled up at the outer wheel house and pushed it out. I made a measurement on the good quarter from the middle of the wheel opening 3" down from the top of the quarter and 8" down then marked the bad quarter. Out on the 3" on the good quarter it was bowed out a butt hair and on the 8" mark on the good quarter it was bowed out more. On the bad quarter on the 3" mark it was bowed out too far. On the 8" mark it was in too far. Real close to the wheel crown on quarters that were replaced will a lot of times will be "caved in", as this was. Today I stripped it and pushed it back out with a porto and 2x4. You have to find a sweet spot that will push it out at the right areas so you do gentle pushes til you see it's pushing in the right area. It moves the quarter as a unit sort of and that's good cause it's not a ding or dent, it's just in. So I basically pushed out in the right area by finding the sweet spot and was hammering on a 2x4 on the 3" mark where it was supposed to go in. It worked great. Looked better in metal than it did in filler prior. It's a technique I use when fixing quarters on cars where it's hit in that area and rolls the crown into the quarter. These just happen to create the same damage but from bad stampings and/or bad installation. just wondering if there was something I can do better in the quarter instillation process so it doesn't happen to me, like maybe pushing it out before you weld it up and while it's loosely on there so you attempt a mock up to see how much of the wrestling it can eliminate when clamping the wheel house area down.

Hughes: Lib Dems will oppose housing benefit cut
The Liberal Democrats will oppose plans to scrap automatic housing benefit for under 25 year olds, the party's deputy leader has said.
Simon Hughes, speaking on the BBC show Question Time last night, said: 'We have not signed up to cutting housing benefit for the under-25s and I don't imagine for a moment we will.' He confirmed party leader Nick Clegg agrees with him.
Prime minister David Cameron announced the government would look to end automatic housing benefit for under-25s. He made a distinction between those that work and live with their parents and those that don't work and live independently off benefits. Mr Cameron said £10 billion needs to be found in welfare cuts by the next general election, meaning they would look to implement changes in the current parliament, therefore needing Liberal Democrat support.
But Mr Hughes made the point that large numbers of young housing benefit claimants are in work and use housing benefit to top up their income.
He said: 'There are about 385,000 youngsters under 25 claiming housing benefit. Seventeen per cent [of these] are employed, so they use [housing benefit] to top up their employment and if they didn't have it they probably couldn't afford to stay where they are living and they would probably have to give up their work.
'So on that basis, it seems unintelligent. Seven percent are sick or disabled so they're not going to be able to go to work and half of them have dependent children.
'Are you really saying that we should be depriving a 23-year-old mum of the money she needs to keep a roof over the head of her two little ones?'

Pretty sombre stuff but it's interesting too. Hitler's of course is not the only one in history to be able to create such a following, it happens all over the world and still happening today. While we often stand back and wonder how the hell this could have happened, but everyone is susceptible, its plays on part of our intrinsic nature. This is why these reminders are so important, thanks!

The rally grounds themselves occupy a space of 4 square miles behind the documentation center but not all the proposed buildings were completed. We were able to visit the Zepplin field, where Hitler addressed his followers. It's called the Zepplin field because Lord Zepplin landed one of his balloons here. We climbed up the massive stone steps and benches and up to where Hitler once stood to address the masses – up to 250,000 at a time!
We commemorated Remembrance Day this year with a visit to the Documentation Center. We picked up our audio guides and entered the large, coliseum like structure that was the congress hall. We emerged a few hours later, saddened by what we had seen, but definitely a bit more educated as to how the Nazi "phenomenon" had happened. The museum was simply fantastic and I could easily have visited it at least a couple more times to take in all the information. The exhibits were quite objective in explaining the rise of the Nazi Socialist Party, and also the rise of Hitler. They used a combination of textual displays, pictures and short films to convey all the information.
