Before the annual Oscar luncheon, held Monday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, some of the nominees stopped by a small room to meet the press. Everybody seemed in a good mood, not too anxious and said nice things about, well, everything.
The format was that there would only be three questions of each nominee. Some got two, some four, but inevitably there was going to be an occasional head-scratcher, and since it was an international crowd, some were regionally specific. Say your answer in German, one journalist implored Christoph Waltz, best-supporting actor nominee for "Django Unchained." Then there were the usual about "How do you relax?" and for the actresses, "What are you wearing to the Oscars?"
"Does any girl ever tell you?" a fetching-looking Amy Adams responded when asked that question. By the way, she looked pretty relaxed - her role in "The Master" is the actress's fourth Oscar nomination - and joked that having to come out to meet the press "just interrupted me flirting with Bradley Cooper." Then, inexplicably, the sound system began playing "Because the Night (belongs to lovers)." "Mmmm," she smiled mischievously, "that's going to be the theme of my lunch."
For the record, none of actresses gave a real answer to the "What are you wearing?" question. The closest was Jessica Chastain, best actress nominee for "Zero Dark Thirty."
"I'm looking for something that celebrates a woman's body ... that celebrates old Hollywood," said the actress, who is still performing in "The Heiress" on Broadway. And when asked about winning, Chastain, looking classic Hollywood in a flowered dress, quickly pointed out that the Oscar race isn't like a tennis match. "For me, I feel like I already won," she said.
One guy who looked very pleased to be able to talk about his film was Ben Affleck. He directed and starred in "Argo," which now seems to be odds-on favorite to win best picture. "There are junkets when I've run out of thing to say after 15 seconds," he said. "So it's incredibly satisfying to have something to talk about."
He then quickly sidestepped the question about not getting a directing nomination, saying he would leave "those sorts of calculations to the press and Oscar-ologists."
While some 17 of the 20 nominees in the acting categories were expected to attend, not all stopped by to talk to the press. Daniel Day-Lewis apparently did not attend, and Joaquin Phoenix didn't come into the press room. When the nominees were brought to the podium, standing behind them were two large, somewhat ominous-looking gold Oscar statues, which seemed to belong on a sci-fi show. ("Doctor Who and the Attack of the Oscars," anyone?) Maybe that scared Phoenix off.
But everyone from "Silver Linings Playbook" made an appearance. Jennifer Lawrence, in a white strapless dress, joked that she was going to wear sweatpants to the awards and then added, "This year I'm going to suck it up. I'm going to go for fashion ... and wear a corset." And as for relaxing, "Eating generally helps."
When asked if "Silver Linings Playbook" is a game-changer for him, first-time nominee Bradley Cooper noted, "I know that I wasn't up there for `The Hangover,"' adding on awards day, "I'm sure I'll be calming my mother down."
"Silver Lining's" Robert De Niro said, "It's still a big deal" to get a nomination. The two-time Oscar winner cringed a bit when someone referred to him as a legend.
The fourth nominee from the film is Jackie Weaver, one of three Australians nominated in the acting categories. The others are Naomi Watts for "The Impossible" and Hugh Jackman for "Les Mis rables." The best-actor nominee said he downloaded every film version of "Les Miz" that he could find but "didn't watch any of them."
"Les Miz" best-supporting actress nominee Anne Hathaway, looking pixie-ish with her short hair, said the nomination has been a help to her. "You're not always in this golden moment."
Two veteran Oscar winners also came by - Sally Field for "Lincoln" and Denzel Washington for "Flight."
When asked how she got into her role, Field said, "As an actor it's hard to say how you become what you become ... I just did my work."
Washington was asked about African-Americans in film. "There is always room for improvement," he said, and asked if the press had seen any other African-Americans up there. He was then reminded about "Beasts of the Southern Wild's" Quvenzhan Wallis, who is 9 years old now and the youngest acting nominee ever.
"Oh, yeah, I've got to meet her," said a smiling Washington. "Maybe she can give me a role in one of her movies."
One of the few nonactors to appear was Tim Burton, who is nominated for his animated film "Frankenweenie." When he walked in, he gave a surprised glance at the Oscar statues. ("Oscars Attack!" anyone?). The director was wearing a sling on his left arm after a fall in London. "I have a metal plate now and I go off at airports."
The 85th Academy Awards, hosted by Seth McFarlane, will be held on Feb. 24 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and televised live on ABC. The broadcast will also go out to more than 225 countries.

Brock Edward Lesnar[2] (/ˈlɛznər/; born July 12, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, actor, former mixed martial artist, professional football player and amateur wrestler,[3] signed with WWE.[4] He is also a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and former #1 ranked mixed martial arts (MMA) Heavyweight by Sherdog; he was ranked #5 before he announced his retirement at the end of 2011.[5] Lesnar is an accomplished amateur wrestler, winning the 2000 NCAA heavyweight wrestling championship and placing second in 1999, losing in the finals to 1999 world freestyle wrestling champion and future New England Patriots offensive lineman Stephen Neal.[6]
He gained prominence in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) from 2002 to 2004, where he is a former three-time WWE Champion, becoming the youngest WWE Champion at age 25 with his first reign. Lesnar was the 2002 King of the Ring and the winner of the 2003 Royal Rumble.[7][8] After leaving WWE, Lesnar pursued a career in the NFL.[9] He played during the preseason for the Minnesota Vikings, but ended up being a late cut.[10] Lesnar returned to professional wrestling at the end of 2005, and joined New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), where he won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in his first match.[1] He was officially stripped of the title by NJPW in July 2006, and took the physical belt with him to Inoki Genome Federation (IGF), where he was still recognized as IWGP Champion until June 2007.[11]

I changed my front pads with Honda OEM pads today. Changed out the retaining clips and used the grease that came with them. Went very well someone said it took 10 min per brake; mine took about ½ hour per brake plus add time to jack and mount tires overall about 2 hours for a first time brake pad changer. Thanks for all the excellent posts on brake DIY. Not going to replace my rear for a while since even the front pads had about half left (but I was hearing a squeak hence the change). Rotors looked good, so just cleaned them all with brake cleaners.
I am going to bleed my brakes though soon. Do I have to use Honda DOT 3 fluid since the manual says use Honda DOT3? What is the correct order of bleeding (I heard it is from the farthest to the shortest to the master cylinder)? I am planning on getting the brake bleeder pump from Harbor freight. Is there anything else that is better for this job?


text: Hi, I am considering MoCA to extend my ethernet range, but I'm not sure how the setup would work for me based on the diagrams I've seen. I get how the additional MoCA adapters would be setup, but I'm not clear on the "main" adapter setup. At my main console, I have the cable modem, the router, and the TiVo XL. From the wall, the coax goes into a splitter, with one side going into the TiVo and one to the cable modem. The TiVo side goes from the splitter to the tuning adapter to the TiVo. The modem side goes from the splitter to the modem (duh). So I am a bit confused, as I have seen diagrams where the MoCA goes between the (in my case) splitter and the tivo, and others where it goes between the splitter and the cable modem. How would I wire up MoCA in my situation, keeping the tuning adapter in mind as well? Thanks for any help.

The Wave got a few telephone calls from Broad Channel residents who reported that an army copter that looked like a Huey flew low over the community, circling for a few minutes at about 6:15 p.m. last Saturday. The copter circled around Shad Creek and then left, only to return at about 11:15 p.m. They say that there was an intense white light that looked more like fog that came towards the copter from the vicinity of the airport and then dissipated. There were a number of calls to 911 about the incident, but nobody in an official capacity can say that it was.
Congratulation to Liz Sulik, the hard-working executive assistant of the Rockaway Chamber of Commerce, who was featured in Newsday's "Queens Profile Of The Day" section on Thursday. Sulik told the paper, "I believe in this community. I think it's got more potential than any other place that I've ever been."
There is a website that details all the little alleys of Rockaway, such as Java Place, Desota Road, Gull Court, Finnard Avenue, Barbadoes Drive, Foam Court, Story Road, Ostend Place, Beatrice Court and Watjean Court. If you have never heard of those Rockaway streets, check out the website, which can be found at www. forgotten-ny.com/Alleys/ rockawayalleys/rockbeach.html.
The City Council has voted to override the mayor's veto of a ban on using cell phones in theaters and other live performances. The ban will take effect in two months. At that time, if you enter a theater for a live show, performance of lecture, or for a movie, you will have to either turn off your cell phone or set it to vibrate. Outgoing calls are also banned, except for emergencies. You may still, however, go into the lobby, away from the performance, to use your cell phone. The fine for violating the ban will be $50, but it is unsure at press time whether police or theater managers will enforce the new law.
As crime drops, so does the number of cops assigned to the precinct that has the drop in crime. That makes sense to city fathers, because lower crime often means that less police resources are needed. There are those, however, who believe that a drop in police resources always leads to an increase in crime. In any case, the 100 Precinct, which has one of the lowest crime rates in the city, lost a total of 39 officers from its allotment during the time period from 1990 to 2002.
An N-32 bus getting ready for its Rockaway run ran out of control on Wednesday and crashed into the Hempstead terminal, injuring six people, two of them seriously. One of the injured was an unidentified 38-year-old Rockaway woman, who was taken to a local in Nassau County for treatment.
Jane Fulkerson, who lives in Plentywood, Montana, is a veteran who is helping a unit of the 101 Airborne to look for pictures, obituaries or burial sites of the men who served in that unit during our nation's wars. She is particularly looking for information about Edward Joseph Zewert, who was killed in Vietnam in November of 1968. She writes that he was last recorded as living in Arverne. Anybody who has information about Zewert can reach her by Email mccolt@nemontel. net.
The One Hour Photo shop on Beach 115 Street and Beach Channel Drive now has the capability of doing APS film right on the premises rather than sending it out for developing. In addition, the shop has gone digital in a big way, printing quality pictures from disc as well as saving your film pictures to disc so that you can use them on your computer.
The City Council should stick to what it knows best - naming streets. When it gets involved in foreign affairs, its members are way out of their league. City Councilman Robert Jackson recently put his foot in his mouth when he told NPR that the council could not get together on a resolution against war with Iraq because, "New York City is the home away from home for most Jews and that [the resolution] is not in the best interest of Israel." A new resolution, however, might soon pass the council and we are sure that President Bush will take to heart what the New York City Council wants him to do. Councilman Bill Perkins says that the council "wants to share the view of New York" with the rest of the nation, but we are not sure that the council view is also the view of most New Yorkers.
Many of the bar owners in New York City will simply ignore the new ban on smoking in their establishments. The figure that the fine they might incur is just another cost of doing business in this city. One bar owner plans on holding a monthly lottery for his customers. Each customer would be asked for five dollars, half to go to pay any smoking fines and the other half to the winner. Of course, the main question is whether the enforcement of the new law will be done by the city or by local bartenders. What happens if a bartender tells a patron not to smoke, but the patron lights up anyway? The fine still goes to the establishment. It is going to be a real rat's nest to enforce, experts say.
When the smoke from the explosion at Staten Island rose hundreds of feet into the air last weekend, so high that it was seen all over the tri-state region, most of the city's residents thought "terrorism." Many Rockaway residents, however, thought not terrorism, but "plane crash." When we first saw the smoke in front of the post office on Beach 112 Street, that is what we thought, and we headed for the scene. By the time we got to Beach 129 Street, however, we thought that something had happened in Brooklyn. The police scanner, however, told us the real story as a Level Three mobilization was called for Staten Island.

MARSOC Marines were the first to figure out that if a casualty is not badly injured but cannot walk, he can be carried on an IPC backwards! Seen here, demonstrated by Israeli Naval Commandos, the casualty is literally strapped back-to-back and can be carried by just one operator while both of them retain both hands free to operate their weapons. This is particularly important to special operations teams who travel in small numbers and the fewer people needed to evacuate a wounded operator the better. As danger is usually still inherent, the more rifles left in the fight, the safer the team will be.
Weighing in at just 0.7lbs.and 10" in length, the IPC has become a must-have additional rescue device that is carried as well as traditional rescue gear to be able to raise wounded people off the floor more easily and be able to evacuate them with minimal personnel. See the regular way of using the IPC here:

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Open to out of state adoptions and foster care homes, must meet all adoption and foster care criteria
See our website and Facebook Page for more information.
Scouts, Youth Groups, Schools, Assisted Therapy Groups, Vet Techs, etc. welcomed.
NARS Adoption Guidelines, NARS Foster and Adoption Contracts are available upon request.
Additional information can also be found on our website, www.northwoodsrescue.org, by clicking on the Adopt Foster Volunteer link from the menu on the left hand side.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

I absolutely love my Living Luminizer. Just bought one for my mom as well. It is a beauty must-have. It makes your face looks amazing and is good for it at the same time. I put mine above my lips, on the inside corner of my eyes, by my brow bone, and in a C-shape from above my brows to the top of my cheekbone.5

.The book is really about the case studies. Stories of real people using their real names. Some are ongoing now for over a decade. Former heart patients who were on their death beds before discovering the "hidden" Pauling cure
[/color]This forum has been of great assistance to me in writing the book.
I've been told that my book potentially puts the companies/products I mention by name in jeopardy, in that these products may be confiscated by the FDA. It is possible that a legal battle of monumental proportions will ensue, but rest assured, this has been done in the name of Linus Pauling, and we will not be afraid to use his name in this battle. Pauling's reputation will be restored no matter what happens because he was right. There simply haven't been ANY studies run to prove it yet.
Well remember though, you are taking on Fat Pharma and all the little piggies that are feeding at the trough ...most importantly the media. be careful what (If any) talk shows or magazine articles you agree to interview in. These people will have no objection to undermine and lie about you as you already know. In a way I wish that there wasn't any more coverage to Pauling since it will bring more and stronger reactions from the dark forcesThe first person to read this book is quite timid. In his emails of late, after reading it, he has started to use the word "slimeballs" to refer to those involved in the cover-up of vitamin C and the denigration of Linus Pauling. I don't know if this reaction will be typical, because the first volume doesn't contain any of the suppression info. However, I think the word "slimeball" is a remarkably descriptive term, and I am seriously thinking about calling the second volume
So does that mean we get a piece of the action?

Next month a postal stamp bearing Linus Pauling's face will be issued and likely become a collector's item for vitamin C advocates. A new book entitled "Practicing Medicine Without A License," by Owen Fonorow, co-founder of The Vitamin C Foundation, debuts soon and provides good instruction for Americans who want to stay heart healthy.
"Congratulations on the book, it is terrific, well written, easy to read, and probably the best literary work on the subject since Pauling. In fact it brings together not only Pauling's teachings, but adds so much with the testimonials, and the information from other authors, such as Levy." - Bill Decker, Tower Laboratories

The annual Brit Awards, which will dominate ITV 1 tonight and, if things go according to plan, the front pages tomorrow, started out in the mid-1970s as a business initiative aimed at selling British music to Johnny Foreigner. Taken strictly on those terms, it's never really worked. The odd Amy Winehouse and Boy George apart, British pop music has never been less attractive to the export market than during the Brits era, and there's something about the ceremony that distills the reasons why.
One look at the members of Chumbawamba throwing water over John Prescott, KLF apparently machine-gunning the retreating figure of Sir George Solti, Jarvis Cocker invading Michael Jackson's stage to wave his nether regions at the King of Pop, or any of the other legendary hi-jinks with which Brit Awards history is studded is enough to convince overseas viewers that this is the kind of speech day from hell that only the British could contrive and therefore largely for domestic consumption.
The venue changes and the job of presenting is passed around like a fizzing cartoon bomb, but the format has remained the same since the late 1970s. Fill a room with people who spend most of the year tearing lumps off each other, ply them with booze, and give them prizes. To agitate further, televise live. That was the case until, in an effort to reach out to America, the 1989 show was memorably presented by Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood and it was subsequently decided that it would be better to have it pre-recorded and edited afterwards. When that became too dull a couple of years ago, the producers went back to broadcasting live.
The Brits' mission is to nudge the non-record buying public into splashing out. Most of us will not actually see it but it's vital that all of us know about it. Therefore the column inches are what counts. I realised this last year when Amy Winehouse packed three frocks for the occasion: one for the red carpet, one to amble through the audience apparently preoccupied with her mobile, and then another one to perform the song in.
If there's one thing Bernard Doherty, the PR for the Brits, doesn't want, it's a smooth running occasion where the right people win and everybody applauds politely. He wants chaos, danger, cat fights and arrests, unbleeped f-words and people falling out of their frocks. This year, with the show fronted by Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, whose experience of fronting a live TV broadcast is about the same as yours, he may get his wish. The lifetime achievement goes to Britain's most highly publicised pop star, 66-year-old Paul McCartney, direct from the divorce court, no doubt pursued by helicopters. Beat that, Kate Nash.
If you're watching at home you may be persuaded by the frantic movement of the cameras and the hysterical applause track that the room is awash with teen spirit and positive energy. It's not. In the hall you're too often struck by the deafening hubbub of small talk, the inability of anyone to make a speech and the overpowering lack of grace that seems to characterise the music business at every level. The elder statesmen of the film business get knighthoods, even seats in the House of Lords; this doesn't happen very much in the music business and the Brits provides a clue why this might be.
This year for the first time I was invited to vote, online of course. I looked at the form for a while and then gave up. Apart from the fact that life is too short to decide whether Kate Nash or the Klaxons have had the most seismic impact on our culture, the notion of nationality in music has rarely felt as redundant as it does now, when everything from the Malian kora music of Toumani Diabaté to unsanctioned bedroom remakes of Radiohead's last album is available at the click of a mouse. Similarly in an age when the iPod shuffles time and alters perspectives, few concepts are quite as foreign as last year.
The theory of the Long Tail holds that the future is about selling fewer copies of more things. The Brits, like all music awards shows, celebrates the ancient idea of the greater popularity of fewer things. It's mass as mass can be. Which suits TV more than it suits music. Furthermore, with ITV in the box seat it's a cert that the show's going to be more about the reformed Take That than whoever I might happen to favour. In an era where TV has, with the help of Simon Cowell, invented the kind of pop that suits its purposes, you would be amazed if this wasn't the case. There was a time when the media served the Brits. Now the Brits, like everything else, serves the media.

By Chris Harris
Eduardo will NOT celebrate if he returns to Emirates Stadium with a goal tonight.
The Croatian striker left Arsenal for Shakhtar Donetsk in July but he's already back in London for a vital Champions League tie between the two Group H sides who have yet to drop a point.
Eduardo is guaranteed a warm welcome from the Arsenal fans who supported him before, during and after the serious injury that tainted his three-year spell with the Gunners. And the 27-year-old will show plenty of courtesy in return.
"I don't think I will celebrate [if I score]," he said. "I respect the Club, I had some great moments here and I have respect for the supporters and Mr Wenger, for the whole Club.
"I came from Croatia and learned a lot at Arsenal. Now I have more experience than before. When when you play for Dinamo Zagreb and someone like Mr Wenger finds you, takes you to play in the Premier League, that is big respect. He believed in me."
You won't see Eduardo twirling a Shakhtar shirt above his head if he finds the net for a third club at the Emirates (remember he scored the ground's first European goal for Dinamo in 2006). But make no mistake, the former Gunner is determined to leave London with all three points.
"The most important thing is that now I am on the other side I will give all my best tomorrow," he said. "If I score, it will be good for Shakhtar so hopefully we can finish with a positive result.
"I am glad to come back to London again. It will be very nice to train here and spend some time here. It was great times here with Arsenal, but now I am on the other side and play for Shakhtar. I will give them 100 per cent, I am ready to play and will give my all best."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Photoshop Tutorials for Mac users??
I have been trying to study a little bit to get the most out of Photoshop. However, the tutorials that I have found on the web are mostly written for windoze users with click combinations to apply features etc. which is a VERY BAD way to write a tutorial since you don't know actually which feature you are using or applying. Anyway,
does anybody know about some tutorial on the web that is for Mac users OR that at least is well written and tells you how to apply the features WITHOUT using specific keyboard combinations??
Thanks in advance[ Edited: 21 October 2010 12:20 AM by Intruder ]
The bird doesn't always flies
.......only when is necessary
As a good place to start, I'd try the Adobe support forums. While I've never used either of the Photoshop/ImageReady forums (one is specific to Mac; the other, Windows), I have used the Mac GoLive forum quite often. The FAQs contain a wealth of information, much of which can be like tutorials. It's worth a try, and free.

Max out your site! mrmwebmax.com
The Lynda.com tutorials are very nice.. and the Photoshop ones are recorded on a Mac…
I don't know the level you want to achieve, but you could try them… on their site there's samples to browse…
I stumbled across this site of downloadable videos on a multitude of Photoshop topics. One of the most useful I've run across:

Russell's are OK, but his overuse of the word "magic" gets a bit annoying.
May I suggest you look through the widget listing at Apple's site, where you will find not only Russell Brown's Photoshop tutorial widget but two or three others that may prove useful to you.

You can also try Kelby Training at http://www.kelbytraining.com
There is a yearly fee, but they have a lot of tutorials for photoshop ranging from "beginners" to "advanced".
I am illiterate on both my Mac and photoshop and had the same problem about learning photoshop (on Mac).
So far it's been about the easiest for me to learn from. Good luck!

Whilst staying at my Son's house over the holidays, he was getting very annoyed with the program that he was running, It was a Genetic Algorithm he was running doing some drug discovery work - the reason he was getting annoyed was despite using a massive computing array, it had become stuck in what he called a local minima. He thought about it for a while and modified the fitness function, and unleashed the evolutionary process again.
This incident set me thinking; Darwinian evolution only has one fitness function, namely survival of the fittest; and was considering whether it was possible that this evolutionary process could also get stuck in a local minima. I came to the conclusion that this state might well be the evolution of intelligence. Let us face it, we have now reached the stage that we have enough smarts to outwit Darwin. If we suddenly get a cold snap, it is not the Humans that grow thick fur that survive, we all can simply by turning up the thermostat in our centrally heated abodes, When we lose our teeth, which would be a death sentence for most predators, we pop along to our dentists and have false ones fitted, and we are as good as new, same with eyesight, as we get old and our eyesight fails, we go to the optician and get some custom made corrective lenses made. Now even the most unfit of our species can live and enjoy a full length life. We use our intelligence to bypass the fitness function.
It seems to me that, when in a pessimistic frame of mind, that we are indeed just such a local minima and as such are endangering the whole evolutionary process, and bringing it to a grinding halt. However when in a more optimistic mood, I look at the way we are developing more able machines, and feel that maybe - just maybe, we are building the equivelent of the single cell lifeforms that eventually lead to us, we are the transition phase between biological life forms and synthetic intelligence. It seems to me to be a very fine balancing act; not enough intelligence then we are in the local minima situation, just enough and we wil be swept away by our own creations.
This effect may well go some way to explain Fermi's Paradox. Evolution can get so far, and then it evolves intelligence, which takes the top of the species to the level wher it has virtual control of its environment, and goes no further. What a horrible thought, a universe full of accountants, all saying to the curious members of their species, "What explore the Universe - that is a complete waste of money, go do something profitable"
Dave Robinson
"Evolution can get so far, and then it evolves intelligence, which takes the top of the species to the level wher it has virtual control of its environment, and goes no further."
Until it gains the ability to engineer life itself and evolution becomes an engineering process.
The other question to ask would be evolution into what. What does it mean to be more highly evolved than us.
There must be physical/biological limits constraining what is possible.
I suspect a being 10 times smarter would have to compromise other aspects like speed and agility.
Besides this, Evolution isn't a goal in of itself. The main process of life is to spread, multiply and survive. Evolution is just a process that support this. We are just a part of that process not an endpoint. That we desire to go out and colonise space is because we are a lifeform no different from any other, i.e. spread, multiply and survive. So the Fermi's Paradox still stands regardless of Evolution.
I think the solution to Fermi's Paradox is
1) FTL outside of normal space is not possible.
2) There is something that stops fast (>10%c say) interstellar travel. I'm thinking dust particles, radiation and micrometeroites.
3) Intelligence races are rare and far apart (of the order of 1 or 2 per galaxy, which is still alot)
Thanks for the response Moozoo - it is much appreciated, you make some thought provoking observations.
My first thought was regarding your observation that being 10 times smarter leading to a compromise; essentially what you seem to be suggesting that too much intelligence is not an evolutionary asset, but rather an evolutionary disadvantage - I think I am at one with you there, we are back to the concept of a local minimum; once a population reaches the stage where it can effectively control its own environment, there seems little advantage in any further evolution taking place.
It seems to me that Humanity has actually gone further than this minimum level. Whilst what you observe is true, that to become biologically smarter has a cost attached to it - actually augmenting our intelligence by artificial means probably does not. In my long career in the scientific field I have noticed two trends, one class of people who use computers/calculators and other tools to make their life a lot easier - i.e. computer aided laziness, and another class of people that use computers in order to stretch their capability; doing 'stuff' that they just couldn't without the ability that technology provides. Maybe this is the first sign that evolution is in fact still occuring. On one side you have mere Homo Sapiens, and on the other - machine augmented man. Are we seeing the development of a man/machine symbiosis? An example of what I mean is perhaps best illustrated by Neil Armstrong et al. on the Lunar surface, without the 'machines', he could not possibly survive there, however without Man the machines wouldn't be there either. How long I wonder before the biological component becomes redundant?
I think that even if your point 2) about there being an interstellar speed limit; it doesn't render Interstellar flight a no go; the British Interplanetary Society Project Daedaleus (?) showed that interstellar flight at 0.1% C was quite practical, and armed with a Boltzman search strategy, where on arriving at a target star, the system then builds say 10 copies of itself and launches them onwards, would still cover a large proportion of the Galaxy, (must calculate that when I get some spare time).
I hope that you are wrong regarding your point 3) as if you are right, I think that we are all wasting our time doing SETI.
Dave Robinson
Going back thinking about this subject, it struck me that maybe I am thinking about evolution all wrongly. On the whole evolution controls the way a species adapts to its environment or changes to it, come an ice age the creatures who have thick fur are probably those that survive. However I am now beginning to think that the phenomena that we interprete as intelligence is the ability for a species to decouple itself from its environment. This makes a lot of sense from the evolutionary point of view. The species that is more likely to survive is the one that is immune from changes in its environment, or is in a position to modify their local environment to counteract the changes in the environment at large. Suffering from a failure of imagination, I can see no natural way that this can come about, other than the invention of technology, and we can see from our own evolutionary path that, providing we can keep the accountants out of the picture, this evolutionary path has a positive feedback element to it - the more technology we have, the greater the control we can exert on our local environment, and the more time we have to improve our technology.
So therefore if local environment control is such a great asset, (and the fact that Homo Sapiens now populate our Planet, from pole to pole, have a base in low Earth orbit, and have paid fleeting visits to the Moon suggest that our control of the local environment is pretty good) suggests that it might be, then convergent evolution might suggest that if the invention of technology happened here, it is a fair bet that it could happen else where.
What think you?

Viva Vallarta!
Make sure to get into town at least once during your getaway! To put it mildly,Puerto Vallartais charming...a Mexican Colonial city with cobble-stoned streets and lovely quaint buildings framed by the ocean in the foreground and towering mountains with lush jungles in the background. The Malecon is a mile-long walkway along the waterfront – it's always bustling with people walking about, vendors selling their wares and all sorts of character and street entertainers making sure that everyone's having a good time. It's also the best place to catch a beautiful Mexican sunset. Open-air cafés, restaurants, bars, chic boutiques and modern art galleries line the streets in and around the waterfront, where strolling around is a treat both day and night.
La Tobara
This is a must-see, must-do for nature lovers! La Tobara is an incredible nature preserve located about three hours north of the Nuevo Vallarta area. A boat takes you on an amazing 10-mile journey through a mangrove-lined eco-system with its dazzling array of wildlife such as exotic birds, tropical fish, giant turtles sunning themselves on tree logs, exotic orchids and sunning crocodiles who actually look like fallen tree logs!
Surf's up at Sayulita! Located north ofBanderasBay, Sayulita is becoming known as another sun and fun destination, but still retains its laid-back charm. The palm-lined beach is lovely, and great as a jump off point for fishing and surfing. Take a stroll around town, shop at the local markets and enjoy a taste of the "realMexico" without the crowds and fanfare of the tourist zones to the south.
Playa Mismaloya
Calling all movie buffs – come to Mismaloya, the cove where the Night of the Iguana was filmed! Once a pristine bay, its serene, Shangri-la-like appeal has been compromised by large hotel developments to the north and south of the bay, but it's still beautiful, none-the-less! You can kick back in a wooden beach chair to enjoy the day, enjoy the view, enjoy the sunshine. You can rent some watersports equipment right on the beach, and fuel yourself at one of the local beachfront seafood restaurants. This is truly a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, and it's only 8 miles south from the town ofPuerto Vallarta.

Dec. 16 ice fishing report
With the recent snowfall slowing the ice on most lakes there hasn't been alot of fisherman out.
Some of the smaller lakes, Lower South Long, Crow Wing, Rice and the Highway 371 bay of North Long have walkable ice and are producing some fish.
Gull Lake froze on sunday after the snow. It has a couple of inches but should build pretty quick. Red Lake has been producing walleyes since Thanksgiving and some of the resorts are letting smaller vehicles and wheel houses out. Lake of the Woods has a great bite and are also letting out smaller houses.
Mille Lacs just froze with the exception of Isle Bay, where there has been some panfish being caught.
With the ice conditions be sure to check the ice as you go, wear a life jacket and bring your ice picks.
Good Fishin'.

Four Men of Resurrection
thadd presley
11/15/2006 / Prophecy
by Thadd Presley
Jesus and Lazarus were both raised from the dead. What can we learn from these two miracles and what does it bring to mind, specifically; and also from Enoch and Elijah, who were two men that never had to die in order to see heaven. In Genesis 5:22 it states that Enoch walked with God and in Kings chapter 19 it tells Elijah's story (also in 2Kings chapter 2.) Both of these men, Elijah and Enoch ascended into heaven without having to die.
Jesus and Lazarus was resurrected from the grave, but, if you look close, something went different at their resurrection than what will happen at our resurrection. In the accounts of Jesus' resurrection, He was raised in His former body. We, on the other hand, at the Resurrection, are going to get new bodies. Also, it was the same with Lazarus, just as Jesus, he was raised in his old body. I have explanations for these two events, but I think we should get back to Enoch and Elijah, for a moment.
Doesn't it say in the Bible that all must perish; that everyone is going to die, because of sin? Well, isnt this also true with Elijah and Enoch? So, how can they be in heaven; and while they are there, will they die there? They can't die in heaven, we know that. So, like it says in Revelations 11, they will be sent back to the Earth. First, they will prophecy for God and then they will be killed. It tells this story in Revelation Chapter 11. It also references the two witness -- that's what Enoch and Elijah have become, witnesses, because they are in heaven witnessing God and heaven and all that is there.
Witnesses of God and of heaven and of the after life and of Jesus, isnt that wonderful. They are witness of everything, they have gotten a backstage look at creation.
As for Jesus and Lazarus being resurrected in their own bodies, I have a theory for that also. First, we have to realize that when we are resurrected we are going to get a new body and that this body will return to the dirt; so we will have a new body and our old body will be in the coffin. But what about Jesus; when he got resurrected, His old body couldn't be found in the tomb. But, you have to realize that Jesus body was without sin; and in being sinless, it was able to return to heaven as it was. However, we, because we are sinners and our bodies have been corrupted by sin, must change from this corruptible body to an incorruptible body before we can enter heaven. Now, Lazarus kept his same body because he was resurrected back to the earth in order for Gods power to be known to the people; Lazarus was not being resurrected to go to heaven just yet.
The reason of all this dawned on me because I thought, if Jesus needed His tomb opened to get out, after resurrection, than shouldn't I have a door on my tomb? I know it might seem childish, but, to me it seemed important at the time. Now, some will suggest that the open tomb is proof of robbers and not a supernatural happening. I can see the remarks coming from a mile away. But the truth still remains, Jesus was gone and even the Jewish guards told the story and were paid to stay quiet, which they couldnt do.
When we see Jesus we will see the nail scars in His hands and in His feet, proof that it is the same man that walk on earth with us. And when we see Elijah and Enoch get killed in the streets and watch them, as they lay for three days in the street, without anyone burying them, then suddenly get up and walk around. Read it is Revelation chapter 11. We will know that they have to come back from heaven to be witnesses and to fulfill what the Bible prophesies.

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he Coen brothers create yet another comedy classic with their latest send up, A SERIOUS MAN. No one does comedy quite like the Coens..."
Box Office
"[A] pitch-perfect comedy of despair that, against some odds, turns out to be one of their most universal as well."
Los Angeles Times
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "A SERIOUS MAN is a wonderfully odd, bleakly comic and thoroughly engrossing film. Underlying the grim humor are serious questions about faith, family, mortality and misfortune."
USA Today
"[T]his is mysterious, provocative and, occasionally, very funny..."
Chicago Sun-Times
"[T]here's something sweet and even a little heartening about the movie....Maybe it's that the lead character is arguably the most sympathetic Coens protagonist since Nicolas Cage in RAISING ARIZONA." -- Grade: A-
A.V. Club
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "This seriously funny movie, artfully photographed by Richard Deakins, is spiritual in nature, barbed in tone, and, oh, yeah, it stings like hell."
Rolling Stone
"[V]ery much a landmark in the Coen canon....Working with affectionate mockery, the Coens take the cinder-block-synagogue banality of American Jewish life in 1967 and make it look as archly exotic as the loopy Scandinavian-American winterscape of FARGO." -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
4 stars out of 4 -- "[The film] bears every mark of a labor of love....Rich and funny..."
Chicago Sun-Times
"Certainly, the Coens' filmmaking skills are sharply attentive to the occasion. Precision is the name of the game in the writing, camera placement, editing, music choices and pitch of the performances..."
"A darkly funny, affectionate homage to their Jewish roots, A SERIOUS MAN feels like the Coens' most disarmingly personal film..."
Washington Post
Included in Entertainment Weekly's "The Best Films Of The Year" -- "Funny and savage in equal measure..."
Entertainment Weekly
Ranked #7 in Rolling Stone's "The 10 Best Movies Of 2009" -- "[D]eliciously tongue-in-cheek, and dead-on serious."
Rolling Stone

USA Today
5 stars out of 5 -- "Stuhlbarg, an American stage actor with only a few films on his CV, is brilliant as the anxious, bespectacled Larry..."

List, Christian and Polak, Ben (2010) Introduction to judgment aggregation. Journal of Economic Theory, 145 (2). pp. 441-466. ISSN 1095-7235
Download (301Kb) | Preview
This introduces the symposium on judgment aggregation. The theory of judgment aggregation asks how several individuals' judgments on some logically connected propositions can be aggregated into consistent collective judgments. The aim of this introduction is to show how ideas from the familiar theory of preference aggregation can be extended to this more general case. We first translate a proof of Arrow's impossibility theorem into the new setting, so as to motivate some of the central concepts and conditions leading to analogous impossibilities, as discussed in the symposium. We then consider each of four possible escape-routes explored in the symposium.

Greeting to all and welcome new friends to the EastWing.
We've all heard the old saying "Count your blessings". Have ya ever counted yours? Too few have counted. Most have never even given it a thought. They're a lot, you know, all your blessings, the ones you've received from God.
Now I don't want any of my EastWing friends who say they don't believe in God to get crazy on me here. 'Cause even if you don't believe in God, God will never give up on you. I truly believe that even after you've spent your whole life in denial of God, in the last smallest, smallest fraction of your life here on earth, you will still have an opportunity to meet God. As your life clock runs out of time, in that smallest fraction of that final second of your time here on Earth, and you think "Uh Oh" and it means "forgive me father for I have sinned". Then God will say "Welcome Home my child." Like I said, God doesn't give up on you, even when you don't believe in God.
With that being said, now don't give me any carp here about you not receiving any of God's blessings in your life. You may not be aware of it yet, but you will, someday soon Lord, someday soon. If you're reading this, that's one of 'em.
Such thoughts about God's blessings came to mind as the result of an email received a short while back from a part of the world that had gotten both electricity and internet service within the same year. Think about what I've said here, electricity and internet service, both becoming available into your life in the same year. Now are you counting your blessings yet? If not, maybe it's time to get started here. I'll wait for ya right here.
Many people today can't comprehend life without the internet, much less electricity. The only place I ever knew in my life where electricity did not exist was at South Fork. All the time I spent at South Fork, electricity was not a part of life up there on South Fork, just outside Jackson KY high up there in the mountains. Looking back on such times, it didn't seem to make much difference. Everything that needed to be done, was done. The day's work always ended at dusk. After the day was done at South Fork, it was family time for the evening. I loved the evenings at South Fork. We talked. We laughed. We told stories. We enjoyed the company of each other, we were family.
The South Fork Dining Room was lit with two oil lamps on the table along with the carbide lights on the walls. For those who may not know about carbide lights. They're gas lights. Much the same way today's homes have hot and cold water plumbed into the walls, gas pipes were plumbed into the walls of South Fork. Wall fixtures in each room could be lit to produce a rather bright light. Brighter than oil lamps, but not as bright as the 100 watt bulbs, the carbide lights lit up the night of South Fork. It was the light by which we told the stories of South Fork. It was by those lights that memories were made. South Fork memories, it was such a time.
It was a humbling experience to read an email from someone who's encountered both electricity and the internet in the same year. We find ourselves so deep into technology that we never stop and count the blessings. In some respects, it came too fast, that technology. Never allowing us to adjust. Before we could adjust to the new, it became the old, and something new came along, then we went slip sliding away. Yet life went on, and we either kept up, or were passed by. Either way, we seldom ever stopped to count the blessings. Almost as if we didn't have time to catch up or count the blessings. In reality, we had ample time to do all three. Catch up, count the blessings, and oh yeah, smell the roses.
Do you ever go to family reunions? We do, every year. The King Family Reunion on the second Sunday of July at the community building in Star City IN. My mother's maiden name was King. Yes, Mama was one of the Kings from Magoffin County Kentucky. And so, to this day, we attend the annual King Family Reunion, come the second Sunday of the seventh month of every year.
Of all the original Kings who started this reunion, here in Indiana, only my Aunt Gladys is the sole survivor. Due to health and age, Aunt Gladys does not attend the King Family Reunion. My Mama was the last surviving member of the original Kings to attend the reunion. It sure feels different going to the King Family Reunion without my Mama. It just does. Precious memories, how they linger.
And so the second Sunday of July, 2013 found me and the She and all our babies in Star City IN along with nephew Kevin Trusty and his family as well as RJ's friend Heather. We were a family of Howards at a reunion of Kings. We were glad we were there. We were in the midst of family. On that day, we all stood as Kings.
One of the ways the King Family Reunion supports itself is to have a raffle for several different prizes. Nice prizes, not just junk things that can be bought anywhere for $2.00, but nice prizes indeed. One could get into the raffle at $1.00 per ticket or 6 for $5.00. Me and my boys, we bought in heavy.
We bought in heavy for two reason. One, being to assure the king Family Reunion had sufficient funds to continue to be the King Family Reunion and two, in remembrance of Mama, who always felt, should her babies not win at least one major prize, then the drawing must be fixed. And so it was this 2013 reunion, we bought in heavy.
There were eight prizes for the drawings at the 2013 King Family Reunion. Good stuff all. After the smoke of the drawings had cleared away, we took four of the eight. Mama would have been proud. The drawing were not fixed as Mama suspected every year whenever her babies didn't win enough to suit her. I sure missed Mama at the King Family Reunion that second Sunday in July, down there in Star City IN. Yet life goes on, and so does the King Family Reunion.
Have you had the snottiest nose in your life this year? I too fall into that same category. Don't know why, just do. Seems that me and the She have a contest to see who can blow their nose the most and use the most Kleenex . Most of the time it's a tie. Must be something in the air. I'm so tired of buying Kleenex by the box, think I'll go to Sam's Club and see if they have 'em by the case.
One of the realities of life in the EastWing is coping with part of my ongoing medical conditions called COPD, Congestive Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Without going into technical talk, I'll just say "it's a pain the butt" I say that 'cause breathing is so important in the everyday things ya do. COPD tends to obstruct that process. DUH!, hence the name. One of the down sides of certain parts of my education is knowing the detail workings of stuff like COPD. One of the up sides of certain parts of my education is knowing the detail workings of stuff like COPD.
Could that be where the saying "ignorance is bliss" comes from? Oh well, given the two, I'd choose the education. Way too much time and money invested not to. Plus WOW! All the things I've learned about along the way. It's been such a trip, and continues to be so to this very day. Just to think, it all started in a little Mountain School House in southeastern Kentucky and ended up at the Ohio State University. Sweet!
Stay Safe in Afghanistan.

Works well
By Rosemary14
from Myrtle Beach, SC
About Me Beauty Conscious
I've been using Paula's Choice for well over a decade. I love this product. I've lived at the beach since 2001 so you can imagine some of the things I've put my skin though. Well, at around when I was 28 I decided to use sun screen. Best decision ever. My skin has some brown blotchiness, a red mark, and the uneven skin tone. I used this product on my face and my upper chest and WOW! It has definitely lightened my skin tone on both of those areas. It's done a great job evening out those areas. My skin seems a little more plump too. I can not stress this enough SPF!! All the time when using this product and I'm talking over 55 SPF. If you're really smart you'll use 100. Otherwise you will make it worse.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Another excellent PC product!
By Long-time PC fan
from Los Angeles, CA
I have been using this product as the second step (after toner) of my daily skincare routine for 1.5-2 years and I LOVE it! Throughout the years, I've experimented using different BHA formulas by PC for my oily, break-prone skin. Now I can confidently say that I finally found the BHA formula that works best for me. It is lightweight and silky when applied, and it takes a minute to dry. I actually get excited every night when I apply this product because I know that I will wake up the next morning with beautifully soft, even-toned skin with reduced pore visibility. When I get a breakout, this product does a great job of minimizing the time it takes for the blemishes to heal and fade. This formula changed my skin and my life for the better! The only drawback is the packaging- it does not provide a controlled way of dispensing a tiny amount of the product, and sometimes this causes product to be wasted.
too soon for effects, slight packaging flaw
By Maureen
from Western Massachusetts
About Me Minimalist
My only real complaint is that the tube doesn't let me squeeze out a small enough amount. I have to waste some each time. It may be helping with small spots. Too soon to know for sure. I am glad to keep trying. I'll wait to decide if I'll purchase it again or not.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good for dark spots from acne, not for melanin discoloration
By Miranda
from San Francisco, CA
When I switched to non-hormonal birth control, within months I had a dark discolored patch above my upper lip. I did some research, and decided to try this. I applied it only to the spot on my upper lip religiously for about a month, but it cause the area around to become much lighter, so now I have a bleached skin patch that makes the dark spot even more noticeable. I tried this on one or two newer dark spots from recent outbreaks, and they faded much faster than they would have on their own. So it's good for that, but no success with deeper discoloration from within. Annoyed that this made the problem I was buying it to treat even more noticeable. Guess I'll have to try laser.

Lightens, brightens, zaps zits
By Alis
from DC
This product really works for me. Fades post acne hyperpigmentation, overall brightens and seems to keep zits at bay. It is my favorite product and I use it daily at night. My skin is visibly different on and off it. Highly recommend.

Just what I wanted!
By ChantaLoveSkincare
from Roy, Wa.
About Me Beauty Expert
After researching several products on Beautypedia, I decided PC Resist Dark Spot Eraser was the best product to target treat the age spot/sun spot on my chest and help with rosacea and acne scaring on my cheeks and face. I was considering Murad's Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum and after checking out the Beautypedia review - I had a change of heart and went with this PC product instead - basically because of the price, reviews, and I truly have been so happy with every PC item I've purchased.I use this product once/twice daily (depending) I put a "dot" on the sun spot on my chest and any "leftover" that may come out of the tube I use on my rosacea/acne scaring. Seriously - a little goes SUCH a long way! The last month since I've been using this Dark Spot Eraser - the sun/age spot/bump is virtually gone! Yes, there is still a big of redness and the skin in the affected area is slightly raised - BUT it might as well be gone because the improvement is SO much better - it's only been a month, and i'm sure it will continue to improve as I use this product more. I'm also very with the results when applied to my face. I notice a huge reduction in the redness on my cheeks and don't feel it's at all drying.

By Olivia :)
from Toronto, Canada
AMAZING product! First I bought a sample size just to see if it was going to work, and oh my gosh was I ever pleased. I was SO sad when I was out of the sample size and quickly ordered a full tube! This is one of THE best products I have ever used EVER. I've tried sooooooo many drugstore creams and whatnot and they never worked. THIS PRODUCT IS MY SAVING GRACE! I have acne-prone skin, and lots and lot of discolouration due to the acne. This has worked so well that I will probably cry if they ever discontinue this! I put this on pimples, red spots, dark spots, and it works amazingly! Definitely recommend!PLEASE NEVER DISCONTINUE THIS PAULA - I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
looking to buy some new ones and wondering is it worth going to a specialist running shop and having analysis done on their treadmill? or is this just to sell you more expensive shoes? i've been using cheap asics ones from sports direct (about £38) for nearly 2 years and not had any problems.
i've had gait analysis but always been offered the cheaper shoes - so no not really. However if you have a shoe that you like then why change - stick with it.
i don't really go a bundle on gait analysis though. Each to his own.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I got a call today from Calvary Portfolio Services and was told that they were attempting to collect a credit card debt. The guy that I spoke with first said that it was opened in June 2014 then said a different date about 7 years ago. So first off the guy didn't even know his information and I even asked him "First it's 2014, and now it's 2007? - Which one is it? and told him that it didn't sound like he had the correct information." I also told him that I didn't want them calling me anymore.
Second, as soon as I could I checked my credit and looked to see if anything had changed. And guess what, the account that he claimed was supposedly mine WASN'T there! So they are trying to collect a debt that DOESN'T even exist!
So to anyone who receives a call from Calvary Portfolio Services BEWARE!! They're a total SCAM!!!

When Detroit Stopped Spinning Its WheelsKathleen Kerwin
During the 1980s, each of the U.S. auto makers came perilously close to disaster, and each found its own way to pull out of the skid. Chrysler Corp.'s brush with death--before it blazed back with an arsenal of hot vehicles--is but the best-known story. As each of the Big Three battled back from the brink, players with Cadillac-size egos struggled to learn new ways to compete.
Comeback: The Fall and Rise of the American Automobile Industry wraps a dozen years of turmoil into a compelling saga. One irony of the turnaround, contend authors Paul Ingrassia and Joseph B. White, is that "while Detroit decried free trade as a threat to its existence, free trade...saved Detroit by forcing it to improve." Toyota Corp. and Honda Motor Co. raised the bar on efficiency and quality, while Lexus and Infiniti dramatically improved customer service. Detroit had to follow suit.
The heroes of Comeback are the American managers who awoke early to the changing climate and fought for years to get their companies to adapt. The most jarring revelation may be just how many General Motors Corp. managers realized as much as 10 years ago that GM was veering off course but were frozen out by hidebound bosses and peers.
Ingrassia and White, who won a Pulitzer for their Wall Street Journal coverage of GM's 1992 management upheaval, spin a yarn that will entertain readers beyond the industry. Yet there is enough fresh information about well-known events to rivet auto insiders. There is, for instance, the untold story of GM executive Robert J. Eaton's unlikely recruitment as Lee A. Iacocca's successor--engineered by his best friend, a Chrysler middle manager.
There are also new details about the abrupt 1989 "retirement" of Ford Motor Co. Chairman Donald E. Petersen. The authors say the darling of the business press and B-school professors failed to match his behavior--marked by outbursts of temper--to his preachings about enlightened management. He ran afoul of the Ford family and was forced out by his board--though it took separate visits by three directors to get the message across.
Such personality struggles, White and Ingrassia say, drove as many of the Big Three's major initiatives as rational business plans. Nowhere is the destructive role of rampant ego clearer than in GM Chairman Roger B. Smith's mid-'80s spending binges on technology and diversification. The authors also make a gripping tale of GM's 1992 board coups. Former Chairman Robert C. Stempel, often depicted as a victim of leaks by disgruntled directors, is seen here as a guy who stubbornly ignored GM's need for immediate change.
To make sense of 12 years in this complex, rapidly changing industry, the authors focus on a series of key episodes. Individuals--as famous as Iacocca or as obscure as Steve Bera, a middle manager toiling on GM's joint venture with Toyota--figure in stories that exemplify broad trends.
The result is highly readable, though it can't be called comprehensive. Discussion of Japanese carmakers' exploits on U.S. soil is sketchy. And those who really felt the pain of Detroit's follies are conspicuously absent. We read how Smith's blunders and Stempel's dithering rattled GM's board and Wall Street. But there's little about the workers whose lives were shattered.
Comeback is divided into two sections: "Old Lions," about the postwar generation of managers who never lost their sense of Detroit's invincibility, and "Young Lions," about the new wave leading Motown's resurgence. The Old Lions get two-thirds of the book--and it's the juiciest part. Woven into the largely familiar history of Detroit's marketing and manufacturing gaffes are entertaining anecdotes about such colorful characters as Lee Iacocca and the "Gang of Ford" who followed him to Chrysler. Here's now-Chrysler President Bob Lutz growling at rival Dick Dauch: "You may be a former football player. But I'm a former Marine, and I'm trained to kill."
As Comeback nears the present, the tales, though enlightening, are less outrageous. The new leaders may lack the swagger of the old guard. And, no doubt, sources were most candid about events safely in the past. Still, the chapter on GM's purchasing czar, J. Ignacio Lpez de ArriortPound a, is disappointingly dry. There's a fascinating chronology of the duplicity involved in his defection to Volkswagen, allegedly with reams of GM secrets. But even though his departure is portrayed as a stunning personal betrayal of his "hero," current Chairman Jack Smith, there's little insight into why Lpez turned his coat and why no one at GM saw it coming.
Ingrassia and White wind up with stories illustrating how each of Detroit's Big Three is changing. They end on a note of wary optimism about the American auto makers' newfound success and humility, but evince understandable concern about whether the companies will revert to their arrogant, profligate ways.
Chrysler's continuing struggles to improve quality and GM's to master its intransigent bureaucracy certainly warrant caution. Besides, the rising yen and recession in Japan have helped Detroit nearly as much as its own efforts. And recent plot twists--notably Ford's global reorganization--make long-range forecasts risky. This story isn't over yet.

Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info. There is also a company that independent auto repair shops buy their information from that the same information inexpensively to do it yourselfers. The information is year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online

Thanks in advance, I will check the sites. I do like to work on my own pick-up but to date I have been unable to locate anything short of a $250 set of factory shop manuals. I have the crew cab, 8 foot bed, diesel engine and duel rear wheels. The diesel is the problem. Each quiry I make for CD or repair manual, the results indicates "doesn't include diesel". AllData sounds like a site I have already been on with no avail. If you know of any source for repair information, please advise me.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
I have been divorced for 9 months now and have a boyfriend whom my children absolutely love. He is more of a father to them than their father. My boyfriend lives in another state, 5 hours away. When he visits, of course he stays overnight (we have a guestroom). My ex recently grilled my children (who are 15 and 11) about where he sleeps, etc. because our decree states we have to keep them in a "moral environment". Can someone tell me exactly what the South Carolina court defines as a "moral environment"? Does this mean that if he eventually wants to move in with us, that is considered immoral and I would have to marry him?
I've actually had to deal with this in SC.
My now wife's husband had in put into their divorce decree basically, you couldn't have a boyfriend or girlfriend sleep over when you had the child.
For quite a while, he would really try to enforce that also. I would go to a hotel when my now wife had her son. Her ex was actually patrolling the parking lot and would make numerous harashing phone calls many times.
The problem was eventually solved when he found himself a girlfriend. From that moment forward, he suddenly decided it would be be if we all just ignored that part of the divorce decree.
It's one of the few times I've ever heard of this sort of thing, but things are definitely different here in SC.
I don't know what a court in SC would think, but I'm going to lean toward thinking they would think it immoral.
I can tell you that in MA, my ex wife could not have any say in my living arrangement, and she really gave it her all to try to.
The following case decision suggests that such a clause would either not be enforceable or that the phrase "moral environment" would not be construed as excluding a live in boyfriend.
Howevever, there is no doubt that your ex could cause you some very expensive legal problems while litigating that issue until the courts decide.

I suggest you call your divorce attorney and ask for clarification. But, yes, living with a boyfriend could be an issue.
