" Genre: Drama - Film Noir / Actors: William Holden, Gloria Swanson / Director: Billy Wilder / Theatrical Release Date: 1950 / DVD Release Date: 2003 "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Described as Billy Wilder's ascerbic look at Hollywood, this classic focuses on two main characters, an ageing silent movie star anxious to clutch on to whatever piece of the limelight she can and a struggling young scriptwriter whose work just isn't wanted. Wilder combines the two of them to interact their personalities and see if they can each offer the other just what they've been looking for.
It pitches at us very much like a film noir, an explanation of death at the beginning resulting in the flashback to meet the narrator, writer Joe Gillis, evading debt collectors and being knocked back at every working turn. When he parks his car in the grounds of a seemingly abandoned house, he is unaware that it's the home of failing silent movie star Norma Desmond, who is looking for a writer to pen her next movie.
It's a jab in Hollywood's gut, really. At the same time as showing the greedy nature of showbusiness, it also makes a dig at how people can be fawned over one minute and completely passed by the next. William Holden and Gloria Swanson do an excellent job in the two lead roles, and bounce off each other perfectly. Wilder certainly manages to get the best out of them throughout the film.
The magic though is in the clever way that the two characters find themselves stuck in the rut of dependency. Norma is kidding herself, ignorant to the fact that her career, her ego and self-absorption blinkering her to the fact that she should bow out gracefully but not hide away like a hermit. On the other hand, Joe's financial worries dictating his life and making him need to stay with Norma and do her bidding despite wanting desperately to be free from the constraints of living under her control.
It makes for riveting viewing, and the little digs, sterotypes, nods and subtleties in the film are like little gems littering the running time. The dialogue switches between being wistful and determined, while living in the past and conversely living for the future. The balance is brilliant throughout, and the patience from Wilder at the start allows for the viewer's concentration to be grabbed much as you'd expect from a Hitchcock film. It's all about the control.
What I wouldn't say about the film is that it's a stroke of genius. There are moments of movie magic, for sure, but I was surprised to see it riding as high as number 63 in Empire's top 500 movies of all time. It's not the highest entry for Wilder - that of course goes to The Apartment. Sunset Boulevard talks about the glamour of the wonderful world of Hollywood, and gives us great contrasts, but although it's a very good film, I was surprised to see it ranking so highly.
I'd probably watch this again if it was on. I enjoyed it thoroughly all the way through, and thought the acting and direction were superb. The pace is controlled, the balance is pinpoint - highly recommended.

I gotta go get fitted for my Kevlar reinforced Charger jersey, Raider fans always pack some form of weapon like a prison shank (they learn that when they are bottle feeding babies, usually Budweiser is in that bottle)...and you gotta be ready in case they get aggressive so a little protection goes a long way!!!

Oh the Q will be filled with the usual gang banger wanna be Raider folks dressed up in their cute Halloween outfits bragging about their dominance of owning the cellar of the AFC West! And they will share their stories of how many signs along the freeway they tagged without getting caught, or how many people they tried to run off the road on the trip or just how many "birds" they got to flip at innocent passers by so they had the "fear of the Raiders" in their eyes...Ha, they need to fear the lightning strikes up their ass this Sunday...I would love to see us beat the sack record for a game and let's see whichever QB they bring brought down uhhhh I like the number 15! And Rivers and his not so band of re-nouns can put up some points so the new bosses (whoever it will be) can see we have some talent and just need a few pieces and a real "holding you ass accountable" coach. I hope Spanos sees how much of the Black and Silver (gang colors) will be in our stadium instead of the power blue and gold...that is the only reason we have it on TV. Fugggget playing down for draft positions Chargers...this is the most hated Team of the Bolts and they deserve an old fashion ass whopping just to remind them of who we are...WE ARE THE Muther F'n San Diego Chargers (just don't look at our record for this year)!!!

About Shana Lutker
Shana searches flea markets for the old and new.
"I like to think about the complicated journey that objects must have taken to arrive together on a yard sale table."
Sculpture, performance and language are some of the mediums that Shana Lutker uses in her artistic practise. Highly inspired by photographs from the 1880s and 1920s of Paris, flea markets, and libraries, she tries to find ideas and objects that simultaneously feel outdated and relevant for today's society. Lutker's subjects include Sigmund Freud and the interpretation of dreams, and the fistfights of the Surrealists. Her recent solo exhibitions include the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects, Wetterling Gallery in Stockholm, and Barbara Seiler Galerie in Zurich. The images Lutker has submitted for Absolut Art play with shapes, and experiment with invented signs and symbols. The result looks at how language, which is functional in design, can be re-purposed and transformed into aesthetic objects as well.

Pueblo City Council agrees to extend moratorium on pot sales
Informally agrees to allow cultivation and testing facilities
PUEBLO, Colo. - Pueblo City Council informally agreed to extend the city's moratorium on retail marijuana sales to Dec. 31. It was set to expire at the end of the month.
Council spent about 45 minutes during Monday's work session debating whether to allow recreational marijuana stores and grow operations in city limits. Council members informally agreed to allow grow sites and testing facilities in city limits.
Councilman Chris Nicoll proposed asking voters through a ballot initiative whether they would want a local sales tax on retail marijuana sales.
"Amendment 64 dealt with the generalities but leaves it up to the individual cities to decide how that's gonna work," Nicoll said.
Even if the majority of people vote in favor of a local sales tax, Council didn't say if it would then support retail sales.
"I think that we are elected as leaders to make decisions and I think we need to make some serious decisions here," said Councilwoman Ami Nawrocki.
Council President Sandy Daff said she supports allowing grow and testing facilities in the city but not retail shops. "I'm not getting a lot of calls from folks who are screaming for retail facilities," she said.
But council members Steve and Ami Nawrocki (no relation) and Ed Brown said they need to support the will of the majority.
"I think just to say categorically that we're not gonna be involved with it, I think would be an injustice to the citizens of our community," said Steve Nawrocki.
No votes were cast during Monday's meeting since it was a work session. KRDO will let you know when a decision is final.


text: NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. ("ARCP") (NASDAQ: ARCP) and American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc. ("ARCT IV") announced today that they have signed an amendment to the previously announced definitive merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") between the two companies. This amendment was precipitated by recent challenging conditions in the capital markets that had a material effect on the economic terms of the original Merger Agreement, and were arrived at following considerable discussions between the two companies, and in consultation with their respective financial and legal advisors. ARCP's pending merger with ARCT IV (the "ARCT IV merger") is expected to close in the fourth quarter 2013, subject to SEC review and an affirmative vote of the ARCT IV stockholders. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120529/NY15147LOGO) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120911/NY72526LOGO) Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, as amended, ARCP will now acquire all of the outstanding shares of ARCT IV, in a transaction valued at $3.0 billion, for per share consideration of: (1) $9.00 in cash (representing 30% of the total nominal consideration); (2) 0.5190 shares of ARCP common stock (valued at $6.59 using the latest ARCP closing price of $12.70 from October 4, 2013, and representing 22% of the total nominal consideration); and (3) 0.5937 shares of ARCP perpetual preferred securities (valued at $14.84 based on a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share of perpetual preferred stock and representing 48% of the total nominal consideration), for a fixed nominal consideration, as of October 4, 2013, of $30.43. ARCP would be issuing 36.9 million shares of common stock and 42.2 million shares of perpetual preferred securities. Upon the earlier to close of the ARCT IV merger and ARCP's pending merger (the "CapLease merger") with CapLease, Inc. (NYSE: LSE) ("CapLease"), ARCP will increase the dividend on its common shares to pay an annualized dividend of $0.94 per share, which will yield 7.2% on an annualized basis, and be payable monthly. The perpetual preferred securities to be issued in connection with the ARCT IV merger will be senior in priority to ARCP's common stock, pay an annualized dividend of $1.675 per share, yield 6.7% on an annualized basis, and be payable monthly. The effective distribution on the basket of common and preferred securities equates to a 6.9% annual yield, or $1.48 per share, to be paid monthly. Both the common and perpetual preferred shares issued to ARCT IV stockholders are expected to be registered, fully tradable and listed on NASDAQ and will not be subject to any "lockup." Commenting on the transaction, ARCP's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Nicholas S. Schorsch, said, "Today's changes to the previously announced merger terms enable ARCP to construct a transaction that continues to provide significant value to the ARCT IV stockholders, while at the same time giving the ARCP stockholders an attractive solution to a merger arrangement that had become increasingly challenged by the current economic environment. As previously announced, for the ARCP stockholder, the revised transaction continues to provide substantial AFFO accretion, an increase in their dividend, significantly increased scale of enterprise, improved portfolio diversification, maintenance of income stability, and G&A synergies. This combination with ARCT IV solidifies our leadership position in the net lease real estate sector. It is further evidence of our ability to navigate the shoals of the changing markets while effectively providing our stockholders an overwhelmingly positive outcome." Mr. Schorsch continued, "Less than two years after listing ARCP on NASDAQ, subject to completing this acquisition and the CapLease merger, together with the recently announced portfolio purchase from GE Capital and other organic acquisitions, we will have increased our enterprise value from $250 million in September 2011 to $10.2 billion by the end of 2013, becoming the second largest publicly-traded net lease REIT. With this acquisition we continue to further diversify our asset and tenant base and increase our projected 2014 AFFO per share, as previously announced. This acquisition is yet another example of executing on our deliberate and focused strategy to: build size in an industry where size matters; improve profitability; increase asset and tenant diversification, thus mitigating risk; focus on constructing a portfolio of properties that produces durable income and potential asset appreciation, while preserving capital investment; provide some inflation and interest rate protection; and give us further cost of capital advantages enabling us to deliver AFFO per share earnings accretion. In addition, this acquisition provides the size and scale to allow us to become self-managed by year end, further reducing our operating costs and potentially improving our AFFO multiple." Michael Weil, ARCP's President, noted, "We continue to be focused on the deliberate and consistent execution of our investment strategy, including the closing of the CapLease merger and the previously announced $1.1 billion of accretive portfolio acquisitions during the second half of 2013 – both of which remain on track to close. Along with these announced transactions, the addition of ARCT IV's assets to ARCP's portfolio results in an exceptionally well diversified real estate pool, with 2,707 properties in 49 states plus Puerto Rico aggregating more than 57 million square feet. On a pro forma basis, our 597 tenants will generate $642 million of annualized rents, of which 51% will derive from investment grade tenants. The weighted average remaining lease term remains strong at approximately 10 years, near-term lease rollover continues to be modest with 8.4% of our leases maturing through the beginning of 2016, and occupancy remains at 100%. We welcome all the ARCT IV stockholders who will become ARCP stockholders, and note that their opportunity to participate in durable income-based, growing distributions will continue." Brian S. Block, ARCP's Chief Financial Officer said, "The acquisition of ARCT IV will be completed with each stockholder receiving the same nominal consideration per share, comprised of a specified combination of cash, common stock and perpetual preferred securities, with a total fixed nominal consideration, as of October 4, 2013, of $30.43 per share. This will result in growth in projected 2014 AFFO per share, as well as reduced balance sheet leverage. Our revised guidance, when published, will incorporate the reduced borrowings, as well as our intent to term out the average tenor of our indebtedness to better match fund our liabilities and assets. Recall, as previously announced, we are increasing our annualized per share dividend by $0.03, yet reducing our AFFO payout ratio below 80%, which provides capacity for further dividend increases in 2014, consistent with prior practice." ARCT IV Transaction Rationale 100% Liquidity in Large, Diversified, Seasoned Enterprise Operated by Same Management Team Within 9 Months of Initial Investment: Immediate and full liquidity for ARCT IV stockholders in the form of cash, listed common stock, and listed perpetual preferred securities with no "lock-ups"; larger, more diversified portfolio in a liquid investment with a leading seasoned publicly-traded net lease REIT operated by the same management team who constructed and operated ARCT IV. Increased Dividend Yield: ARCP's annualized dividend per share will increase $0.03 from $0.91 to $0.94 per share upon the earlier to close of the ARCT IV merger and CapLease merger. Coupled with the to-be issued perpetual preferred securities, ARCT IV stockholders will receive annualized dividends of $1.48 per share, which, excluding the cash portion of the merger consideration, represents an annualized dividend increase of $0.47 per share, from $1.65 to $2.12, or 28%. Attractive Perpetual Preferred Securities: Registered, freely tradable securities listed on NASDAQ, with an annualized dividend of $1.675 per share or 6.7% (senior to ARCP's common stock dividend), payable monthly; "no call" for five years from closing, thereafter may be repurchased by ARCP at original price; non-convertible, i.e., cannot be converted into ARCP common stock. Favorable Valuation of ARCP Shares and Return to ARCT IV Stockholders: Receiving ARCP shares at a favorable valuation relative to its peer group; estimated total return of 28% to ARCT IV stockholders, including a full return of gross invested capital, a 22% share premium, and dividends paid since inception. Combined Lower Cost of Capital: ARCP's average cost of debt is priced at a fixed interest rate of 2.45%, which is significantly accretive to overall corporate earnings. Additionally, the potential ability for the shares to trade at a higher AFFO multiple, in line with the peer set, could result in an overall lower cost of equity. Appreciable Trading Benefits: Eliminates current overhang on ARCP common stock. Enhanced Deal Certainty: Requires only vote of ARCT IV stockholders. ARCP Strategic, Financial and Portfolio Benefits Dramatic AFFO Growth from Combination: As previously announced, pro forma combined company AFFO for 2013E to 2014E is estimated to grow dramatically by approximately 25%, from 2013E of $0.91 to $0.95, to 2014E guidance of $1.14 to $1.18. Greatly Enhanced Portfolio Diversification: The pro forma combined company will have greatly enhanced portfolio diversification by increasing the number of distinct corporate credit tenants to 597 (formerly 302 for ARCT IV and 229 for ARCP), and the number of states to 49 plus Puerto Rico. The combined portfolio will total 2,707 properties. Strong Lease Duration, Modest Rollover and 100% Occupancy: The pro forma combined company will have approximately 10 years of remaining lease duration as of year-end 2013, modest near-term lease rollover with 8.4% of our leases maturing through the beginning of 2016, and continuing 100% occupancy. Materially Larger Size and Scale: On a combined basis, the merged entities will have an enterprise value of $10.2 billion (assuming the close of all previously announced transactions), making the combined company the 2 nd largest publicly-traded net lease REIT, which is expected to further improve the company's balance sheet flexibility, cost of capital, public float and provide other benefits afforded to larger-sized companies.

Thompson Square Singer Scores Smooch From Blake Shelton
Thompson Square had three big wins at Monday's American Country Awards, and singer Keifer Thompson also came away with something arguably as good: a smooch from Blake Shelton.
"He kissed me on the mouth earlier. He's got really nice lips," the 'Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not' singer told People.com backstage at the show. "[Blake's lips] are very soft."
"I think he uses a lot of lip balm," Keifer added, his wife Shawna by his side, "strawberry, I think."
Not to rain on Keifer's parade, but he's not the first dude Blake has planted his smackers on. The 'Honey Bee' singer spent much of the summer trying to kiss on Brad Paisley, his fellow traveler on the H20 II: Wetter & Wilder tour.
"I hump on his legs and things like that," Blake said earlier this year. "I try to make him as uncomfortable as I possibly can. I try to kiss him and put my fingers up his nose while he's trying to play a guitar solo."
It remains to be seen how Blake's burgeoning bromance with Keifer will sit with LGBT advocates, who have previously blasted the singer for what they deemed homophobic tweets, but 'The Voice' star doesn't aim to please everyone.
"I hope that people learn from me, it's OK to be yourself," Blake told the New York Times back in July. "It's OK to offend somebody, and, as a matter of fact, please be polarizing. If you're not polarizing, you failed, in my opinion. If you don't stand for something, how can anyone respect what you do?"

HAMDEN -- Donna Altieri can now work at her desk without worrying that wet ceiling tiles will fall from above.
The cupola on the roof of one of two old police buildings -- a damaged area -- was above Altieri's desk in the detective division. The detectives' secretary no longer has to worry about the tiles caving in.
She's one of many police employees who have moved into the new police station at Whitney and Dixwell avenues.
"I love it," Altieri said of the new space, which has the detective division on the third floor.
The big move should be completed by week's end, give or take a day or two, Police Chief Thomas J. Wydra said Wednesday.
The town bonded $40 million to improve Memorial Town Hall and the adjacent fire station, as well as to add a new police station of just under 49,000 square feet.
The two police buildings from 1952 are 9,000 square feet combined, according to Wydra. They will be demolished, hopefully in about two months, after an auction of unwanted goods and abatement. A parking garage will replace the buildings, one of which had been the town's main library until the early 1970s, when the Miller Library was built. Police employees will park in the lower level and the public on the upper level.
The new police station has numerous amenities, from a large roll call room, offices for supervisors, interrogation rooms, elevators, two classrooms that are big enough for regional training, break rooms in the basement and two upper levels, a large records room complete with a room for archives, a crime scene laboratory and a marble table in the lobby.
For years, police officers were told they would be getting a new headquarters, but ground wasn't broken until Oct. 8, 2009.
"It's like a whole new job," said Detective Thomas Rhone, a 37-year veteran. "We were a small town before. We're a big city now. That's kind of how it feels."
"I never thought I'd see the day," said Detective Mark Consorte. "It's pretty nice, a nice changeover."
Deputy Police Chief John Cappiello said that when he was a new recruit 29 years ago, police brass promised his class that within five years, there would be a new station. "The old veterans used to laugh and tell us, 'Don't hold your breath.' This is something I never thought I would see. It's great," said Cappiello, among the many who worked on the move.
"I was proud to witness such great teamwork," Wydra said.
There's still a ways to go. While the dispatch center and detectives moved in on Monday, patrol isn't fully set up in the new building yet. The new police station still has contractors and subcontractors working on various non-construction punch list items, such as cleaning and computer network issues.
"We're still transitioning," said Wydra.
Wydra's secretary, Soraya Antonini, was putting name labels on mailboxes in the basement Wednesday with records technician Kathy Tam. Asked what it's like to work in the new building, Antonini said, "It feels surreal. I don't believe it yet."
"I don't think it's sunk in yet," added Wydra.
People who need police reports should still go to the old building until otherwise notified by a sign that will be posted and when the doors are locked for good, the chief said.
People with emergencies should call 911. The main phone number is 203-230-4000.

We are calling on you to take action in the days running up to World Food Day. Each day counting down to October 16, we will issue a daily challenge as part of our A Billion for a Billion campaign and the ONE Campus Challenge.
One more day until World Food Day! The World Food Programme is calling on you to take action in the days counting down to World Food Day, October 16. Each day we issue a daily challenge as part of our Billion for a Billion campaign.
Today's Action: Write a story, op-ed, or letter to the editor for your school newspaper or local newspaper on how climate change is impacting the hungry in Africa. Send a copy to us so you can get points. Not a writer? Pass on the video below where Thievery Corporation sees the impacts of climate change in Nepal.
To get started, check out ONE's issue page on climate and development, here.
Way up on the 'Roof of the World,' the great Himalayas that thrust across the middle of Asia rule a domain that many scientists view as the "Ground Zero" of climate change.
The Himalayan glaciers comprise the largest store of fresh water outside the poles of the earth, feeding seven major Asian rivers. This gigantic watershed is source of life — and livelihoods — for more than 1 billion people in Nepal, India and China; they rely on it for agriculture, drinking water, sanitation, even hydroelectric power.
Alarmingly, as temperatures rise, these glaciers are melting and thinning rapidly — at rates scientists say have doubled
since 2004 alone. This phenomenon carries profound implications for food security, especially when combined with unpredictable monsoons, a rise in extreme weather, and years of unusually dry winters that have depleted snowpack and soil moisture essential for farming.
Gatlang, a picturesque Himalayan village of stone houses, exemplifies a dangerously shifting landscape inNepal that has suffered a "sharp and sustained decline in food security." Forty percent of the population is already under-nourished.
A mountain stream that flows through town powers a flour grinding mill - and prayer wheels that spin out blessings. Yet nature's blessings have not been bountiful in recent years.
Chersingh Tamang, a 60-year-old farmer we met during a recent visit, has seen dramatic declines in rain and snowfall in his lifetime. Gesturing toward majestic Mt. Langtang in the distance and the tightly terraced slopes of his village, he says: "We used to see all snow on that mountain – now we see much bare rock … we used to produce abundant harvests of barley, potatoes and wheat. No longer."
The World Food Programme works with Nepalese farmers like Chersingh to try new crops like red rice, medicinal plants, and gourmet mushrooms, while improved seeds are growing better yields from traditional crops.

Okay, it's like this. I was totally running around the yard and stuff, with the "puppy crazies" as my momma calls them, when skinny old Taj the cat goes screaming by. So I tried to chase him, but of course he totally cooned me and jumped the fence. Whoa, no way! The gate was open; someone forgot to close it! I'm not ever allowed to go out on the Street by myself, but you know, I'm getting big, so I thought, "Why not?" I could handle it.
So I go tearing out, Taj is there licking himself on the garbage can, but at this point I can't be bothered with him. Dude, there was stuff to smell EVERYWHERE. Like food wrappers, pee-pee, and my personal favorite, cat poop! Omigod, I was in heaven. Well, next thing I know, this little homie is there, rubbing me, asking me all these questions, and then he picks me up! I'm like, wait dude, I'm on walkabout! Squirming didn't help; he trucked me a whole two blocks to his house. I was kinda worried about getting home, but then he gave me some nasty old wet cat food, and I forgot all about it.
I guess I was there for a couple days, I dunno, I was too busy playing with my new homey and making stinky cat food farts. Then next thing I know, he's walking me down the street, and I see my momma! Hey, where did she go anyway? She was all blubbery with some nonsense that I was lost, then she gave the boy some cash and we were home. Keepie like totally licked me from head to toe, and even Taj the cat rubbed against me. It was good to be home, and I think I might hang around here for a while. Especially as there is a big old chain on the gate now.
Well, this weekend marks my 9th week aboard planet earth. I have to say, that while it has been somewhat of a struggle thus far, I'm really digging my new parents and my new bro, Keepie. I was real shy with this family at first, and sweet of course, but now that I feel comfortable, I'm really laying it on. Aside from about six hours of sleep at night, and a nap at noon, I am going like a house on fire. There is just so much to see and, naturally, put in my mouth. My favorite is when my mom tries to "sweep" me with the broom. Who cares about the dirt, just try and catch this diablita! Oooh, and the garden is just delightful; did you know that nasturtiums are edible? Now this one might make some people squeamish, but boy do I love to eat the cat's @#%&. Although for some reason, my mom freaks out when I do it. But my all-time favorite is at night time, when my family gets sleepy, and my mommy, daddy and brother(and sometimes the cat, when he isn't outside making poop for me) all cuddle together under the covers. But who wants to talk about sleep, I see a flip-flop that needs chewing!

Hi all, welcome to the forum. I hope your stay is pleasant. This is a short guide on where to find things on this forum and many other forums. It also contains suggestions on the best way to attain information. Hopefully most of this is a review for you all. But after seeing the behavior of some long time members on this sight toward new guys asking dumb questions, I decided to write some tips for the new guys like myself on how to use the search function and perform proper research before asking questions. Drews, this is for you.
Point 1: Use the same research skills that were taught to you in high school english.
A. Internet Search: You have many options when it comes to internet searches. Here are some tips for searching and the location of your most valuable resources.
- The Stickies - Located at the top of every sub section of the forum, the stickies were important enough to keep around. So please read these before you ask questions. They were made to answer FAQ's and to outline basic info you will need moving forward. If you read the stickies, I garuntee you may never ask a question.
- The Search Box - located at the top right of every page, it is a part of the "header" of the website. Use this for a very specific search within the website.
- Google - Google will take a little finesse. Learn when to be specific and when to be vague. You can also search single sites from google using the form used below.
Examples of good searches:
-catback site:ClubWRX.net:
-cobb ap faq site:ClubWRX.net:
-exhaust fs 02-07 wrx site:forums.nasioc.com
-Say your car is vibrating, make a list of possible problems. Then search each possible problem individually until you arrive at one that matches your symptoms the most.
B. Printed Books: Printed books are invaluable.
- Owner's Manual - If you don't have an owner's manual for your car, you need to get one. A large majority of questions can be answered easily and quickly with a quick reference to the manual. Regular maintenance intervals and items, removal or assembly of anything on the car, plus in-depth instruction on how to do it. There's no one you should listen to more than the people who made your car.
C. Interviews: Nothing beats direct conversation on the phone or in person.
- Local mechanics/Shops - refer to your regional forums to find recommended shops and tuners in your area. For your more complicated issues, talk to these guys. They will be more willing to spoon feed you info than an internet forum will because they want your business.
- Local Subaru Clubs - nothing beats a support group of people to fall back on or ask quick questions about mods or problems. I gauruntee that between everyone in the group, almost every mod or setup has been tried. It's a great way to experience potential mods first hand; such as, what an exhaust will sound like. Refer to your local club for do's and do not's backed up by first hand experience.
- Vendors - many vendors have built up a reputation for being helpful and selling you what is best for you. Search through the vendors on the website and send them a PM with what you have and what your goals are.
The most important thing to remember is use all of your resources. Don't just go off of what one person said to you.
Point 2: How to Ask your Question
All too often do we get questions that can't be answered
***How to Ask a Technical Question!**
How to Troubleshoot Anything, and Ask for Help Later
Point 3: Don't get butthurt
When it comes down to it. We're all a name on an internet screen. Don't take what people say personal and you will go a long way. Ignoring rude/aggressive people is the best deterent.

Christchurch Earthquake Information
The advice here is designed to help our members make good, safe, sensible and practical decisions in this difficult time.
Please be aware that Health and Safety is paramount at this point -don't rush in. Stand back and make a sensible, safe plan for re-opening your workplace. Here's a basic checklist of things you should consider before you open your workplace door:
If you don't have the expertise to check these things in-house, get an expert in to assist you
- Check for basic building structural stability
- Note: The City Council will be classifying all buildings in the cordoned-off area – red placards for no entry, yellow for restricted use and green for no restrictions on a building's us
- Check for basic sanitation, eg running contamination free water
- Check that toilets are working
- Check that emergency egress and support equipment hasn't been compromise
- Check for live electrical cables, or gas leaks
- Check the integrity of the water and sewage lines
- Check for unstable stock, equipment or machinery inside the building
- Check for chemical spills
- Check security issues – refer to the NZ Police or your security firm if you have concerns.
- A full hazard identification should be made and plans to eliminate, isolate and minimise where practicable.
- Remember it is quite likely there are new and unusual hazards in your place of work that didn't exist prior to the earthquake. Your current hazard register should be considered inadequate.
- Recognise that the RIGHT DECISION is the SAFE DECISION
- Make yourself aware of any requirements of the authorities (Civil Defence, regional and local authorities etc) and act in accordance with those requirement
- As a business owner or manager, the Health and Safety in Employment Act requires you to provide a safe workplace for your employees, contractors you might engage and others who might be entering your premises, eg shoppers
- Employees also have a responsibility to ensure their own safety
- The key is communication. This is an unusual situation, and much of it is probably not covered by employment agreements. It is very important that employers and employees are talking to each other.
- Be flexible. This is a time for employers and employees to be understanding and to take a commonsense approach to getting business up and running again.
- If employees are concerned about their safety in going back to work, they should raise their concerns with their employer.
- If employers are asking employees to do work they don't normally do (for example, clean-up work), both sides need to ensure they're comfortable with this, and safety must be top priority
- People may want to focus on family rather than work
- Working with staff health and safety representatives and union representatives will be of assistance in some work places
- Work together to find practical solutions
- Recognise that this has been a significant event
- People will react differently in the aftermath- some may need extra support
- Many will want to focus on caring for their family
- Others will be best supported by assisting to get things up and running
- An individual employee has the right to refuse to do work they consider unsafe. Discuss the work and the concerns before it gets to this point. If you have decided it is safe share your knowledge and reasoning with staff alongside the decision
Who decides if workers have to go to work if it is open?
Employers and employees should talk to each other about what is happening with the workplace. Discuss and reach an appropriate agreement.
If a staff member needs to stay home to look after their family – how does that work?
Both parties should take a practical approach to this situation. Employers should discuss the employee's needs in these circumstances, recognising the unique nature of the event, the disruption it has caused and the need for flexibility.
Whose responsibility is it to ensure the workplace is safe?
This is the responsibility of the employer under the Health and Safety in Employment Act. The employer may need to obtain expert information to ensure safety and /or reassure employees of workplace safety.
My building has been condemned and the business is finished how do I deal with my staff?
This situation makes it impossible for employment agreements to be performed by either party and the effect is that the employment and employment agreements terminate. However you need to advise staff as soon as practicable. Final pays and any accrued holiday pay will need to be paid just as it would be when employment ends.
If any of your staff are in financial hardship as a result then they should contact Work and Income. (Income support, Contracts and mortgage repayments)
What if it is a usual day of work for my employees and the business is closed. Do I pay employees? My employee can't get into work today for good reason. Should I pay them?
The answer to these (and similar questions) will depend on the employment agreement in place. If the employment agreement is clear about what to do, you should be guided by your agreement. The Restaurant Associations Standard Employment Agreement is silent on these circumstances, so it is important to discuss and communicate what will happen with your staff.
Employers and employees should discuss how to reach a pragmatic and legal outcome. An alternative approach may be for employers and employees to discuss leave entitlements to cover any absences from work to ensure continuity of income for employees.
Does an employer have the right to require workers to go to work and help with clean up?
This is an area for discussion on practical solutions. Employers want their businesses up and running to provide service to customers, and to be able to pay their employees. If employees are concerned about doing this work, they should discuss it with the employer and if they are being asked to work they don't normally do, there should be a discussion about the employee's capability to do the work, and about supervision, and, especially, what protective gear employees will be provided with. The primary concern at all times should be individual safety.
What safety gear should be used in clean up?
The primary concern at all times should be individual safety. This means that appropriate protective clothing and equipment should be used when required. At a minimum, this would generally include heavy shoes/boots, a helmet and safety glasses and a protective jacket and trousers if required
How should concern about gas or chemicals in the workplace be dealt with?
Evacuate immediately and ensure the relevant authorities are informed. The primary concern at all times should be individual safety.
This information has been compiled with the help of the Department of Labour.
The main concerns are around continuity of business and employment responsibilities, as well as insurance claims and advice. We have set up a help line with our insurance partners, Crombie Lockwood, to offer advice and claims processing information for affected members - regardless of insurance affiliation.

Daisy is a 2-year-old tri-color spayed female Sheltie. She spent a lot of her life so far living in a crate, but is blossoming now that she is in a foster home. Playing ball is her favorite thing; and her favorite ball is a soft, silly-looking stuffed tomato. She'll chase it, catch it and throw it back at you for hours!
Please contact Northern California Sheltie Rescue to fill out an application for this sweet girl!
UPDATE 9/1/13: Daisy has now been adopted! :))
Taleah looks "fetching" with her animal print ball.
She is a trendy girl, Sharon & Deborah! :)
"Of course no game of fetch works without a stick…or a ball… or one of my really expensive running socks."Looks like you lucked out with the stick this time, Scott!

Osteospermum are available in a variety of colors and are an excellent choice for borders or containers.
Ageratum 'Adriatic'
Ageratum 'Adriatic' blooms from summer until the first frost. It produces small mid blue flowers in dense clusters above downy, green, oval leaves. If used in containers, water well.
Young coleus plants will grow in a garden or container and fill the space with vibrant and colorful foliage from summer through until frost.
'Elijah Blue' Fescue
'Elijah Blue' is a common blue fescue with clumping, deep sea blue foliage.
Double Impatiens
Rock your garden with the rose-like flowers of double impatiens. These pretty bloomers open flowers all season long—and never need deadheading. Choose double impatiens for areas offering part to full shade. Look for blooms in a variety of colors, including white, red, pink and purple tones.
A terra-cotta urn is the perfect container for variegated ivy, providing a focal point in a woodland garden or fern bed.
Swan River Daisy
A spreading annual, the swan river daisy is ideal for hanging baskets. It produces white, pink, or purplish flowers.
Many petunias have a mounding growth habit, so they're great for containers, but can also spill over the sides of baskets and window boxes. Grow them in part to full sun. Petunia 'Cha-Ching-Cherry' (pictured) is a new introduction featuring cherry-red blooms with creamy-yellow stars in their throats.
Bush Morning Glory
Bush morning glory has leaves that are covered with a silvery fuzz, with pink buds that form white, funnel-shaped flowers.
Nemesia is a spreading, dark green foliage with small, lightly scented flowers, usually purple-blue.

Vladimir Putin is a strong man. He can defeat bears or tigers and has been known to plunge into a river filled with sharks and crocodiles. He is a man who can defeat any challenge. His latest war is against hordes of gays and lesbians who threaten the foundations of western civilization. He regards himself as among the few leaders in the world who are defenders of conservative values against what he cnsiders to be an assault of "genderless and fruitless so -called torlerance" which in his view 'equals good and evil." And, if anyone in this world truly understands "good and evil" it is the man who knows a fag when he sees one. He intends to prevent foreign political ideology from entering the sacred soil of Mother Russia.
Vladimir believes any problem in his beloved Mother Russia stem from "ffotloose people from southern republics," "ethnic mafia, "corrupt police" and other such riff raff. Thank God there is one force in this world that stands in the way of gays and lesbians destroying the foundation of western civilization.

How do you keep new bees from flying away from a hive?
How do you keep new bees from flying away from a hive?
Hey 02,
I'm from Monroe Ga, maybe you can stop by the chat room one night and we can talk. Somebody is generaly there between 9:00pm and 10:00.
I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Do you mean how do you keep a new introduced package of bees from flying away?
Once a swarm, package, or split of bees have been placed into a hive they will most likely stay. I have only had problems with bees flying away when I didn't get the queen when I got the swarm. Sometimes when a hive of bees in a house or tree have been removed they may leave. I've found if you put some brood from another hive in with them they will stay.
If you are talking about a package they occasionly abscond but not often enough that I worry about it. If you are talking about a hive, they rarely abscond, especially if there is any brood in the hive. If you are worried about it or think the situation might encourage them to abscond, put a queen excluder on the bottom board and make sure there is no upper entrance and the queen can't leave. They will not leave without her.

Riverside Unified School District has recently implemented the Haiku Learning Management System for all grades. Haiku LMS can be used by teachers and students for fully online classes as well as "hybrid" classes where teachers post information, assignments, assessments, discussion boards and more for students to complete either in class, in a lab environment, or at home depending on the needs of the student.
One of the outstanding features of Haiku is the availability of a Parent Account. This will allow parents to log in to Haiku LMS and see the information that their student's teacher is providing including but not limited t class events, requests, assignments, homework, and student resources.
The Parent accounts are created from information in the Aeries student information system and require that we have an email address on file to create the parent account. The parent login is the email address that we have in Aeries with the @ symbol replaced by a . (period).
Example: John Smith's email on file is email@example.com so the Haiku parent account username is jsmith.yahoo.com.
All initial passwords are set to Welcome1 (case sensitive)
1. Enter the URL http://www.rusdlearns.net in your browser and you will see the screen below.
2. Enter the username and password on the left side of the log in screen (see red rectangle)
3. Create a new password, Click Save
4. Click Save on account information. Note: Parents have the option to add a cell phone number so that they can receive text notifications. Standard text messaging rates apply.
5. Click Home and you will be taken to your portal where you will see the list of your student(s) classes on the left and a calendar and other pertinent information on the rest of the page. Click on the class title to see the class content.
If you have more than one student you can filter by clicking on the menu above the list of classes.
If you are unable to log in with these directions:
If you have any questions, please speak with your student's teacher or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and include your name, your student(s)' name(s), and the corresponding six digit student ID number.
If you are unable to log in with these directions, please check with your student's school to make sure that you have an email address on file and that it is correct. If you do not have an email address on file and would like to have a Haiku account please talk to the school office to add one. It will take a couple of days for your Haiku account to be created after your Aeries data is updated.
If you have any questions, please speak with your student's teacher or email me at email@example.com and include your name, your student(s)' name(s), and the corresponding six digit student ID number.

Queensland was a lazy, inefficient state that was growing fat on taxes paid by Victorians, an angry Victorian Treasurer John Brumby declared yesterday, as he called for reform of Commonwealth grants to the states.
Mr Brumby took a swipe at the sunshine state and the funding arrangements for the distribution of tax revenue raised by the GST after the release of a report by the Commonwealth Grants Commission.
Mr Brumby said that for every $1 paid by Victorians in GST, the state received 83 cents back.
He said that in 2004-05 Victoria would cross-subsidise other states to the tune of $1.4 billion.
"It doesn't matter how well our economy does. It doesn't matter how much we prosper, how much money is in people's pockets, the more we spend, the more we lose," he said.
"I can only describe this report as a $1.4 billion rip-off for Victoria."
Mr Brumby described the grants funding formula as an "out-moded, clapped-out system" and in need of reform.
While the proportion of the GST pie Victoria will receive dropped by 0.15 per cent, its total funding would increase $534 million to $8.9 billion.
Mr Brumby said he wouldn't have a problem if special financial help was going towards "needy states" such as Tasmania, or the Northern Territory - but not Queensland and the ACT.
Queensland Premier Peter Beattie urged his counterparts to be fair and honest.
"All we have got is our fair share," he said.
NSW Premier Bob Carr was also vocal, insisting the GST carve-up was politically motivated to buy election votes.
But federal Treasurer Peter Costello pointed out the mooted allocation was by the independent Commonwealth Grants Commission - as it's been since 1933.
"It is lacking in substance and being loose with the truth to suggest that in some way this is done by the Prime Minister or the Treasurer," he said.
"We have no control over the process."
Queensland and Western Australia are the big winners under the split recommended by the commission in the review, tabled in Parliament yesterday, and will be considered by federal and state treasurers this month.
Both states would receive a bigger slice of the pie in 2004-05, while the other states and territories would receive a smaller proportion of commonwealth revenue.

Kanye West to Skip Paris Fashion Week
September 24, 2012 | Posted by
Kanye West is skipping the Paris Fashion week this year. WWD has confirmed through Karla Otto, a rep for Kanye's fashion line, that the line will not be shown at Fashion Week. She refused to say whether the line will be discontinued or not.
West recently partnered with shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti to create a line of pearl shoes, and he is said to be working on a new shoe line with Kim Kardashian.

Three lessons can be learnt from the article about the mistaken arrest of Noel King ("Falling through the cracks in the US justice system", AFR Weekend, March 28-April 1).
First, the concerns of the founding fathers of the US to provide protection for the individual from overreaching by the state were never more relevant than now. The unthinking actions of the behemoth which is the modern state can have consequences for the individual which are as dire as conscious oppression. There needs to be protection from the unthinking application of the vast banks of data, which the modern state has available to it. Sadly you cannot assume common sense will prevail.
Second, the manner in which Mr King was treated during confinement shows that dehumanising prisoners can be every bit as cruel as shackles.
And finally, don't bank on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to get you out of a jam when you are overseas.

Cape of Storms
€ 25,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
November 1999
BeschreibungCape of Storms, one of the great Russian writer's most fascinating novels, was published serially in 1951 in the Novyi Zhurnal -- and Nina Berberova herself, late in life, took the old emigre journals off a shelf and handed them to distinguished translator Marian Schwartz. Now this forgotten, riveting late masterpiece is available in English for the first time.Centering on three half-sisters, Cape of Storms treats a very specific generation, born in Russia but raised in Paris: a lost generation, having suffered childhood traumas, and now neither really Russian nor truly French. The three sisters -- Dasha, Sonia, and Zai -- share the same father, Tiagin (portrayed by Berberova as an attractive, weak-willed womanizing White Russian). As the specter of war looms, and the sisters enter adulthood, each chooses a different path: Dasha marries and leaves for a bourgeois, expatriate life in colonial Africa; Sonia studies philosophy, becomes obsessed with radical politics, and ends a suicide; Zai, the youngest, an appealing adolescent, flirts with becoming an actress or a poet. It is a shattering book, which opens with an absolutely hair-raising scene of Dasha witnessing her mother's murder at the hands of Bolshevik thugs, and ends as the blitzkrieg sweeps towards Paris. Cape of Storms is unparalleled in Berberova's work for its high drama, its starkness, and many shifts of mood and viewpoint.

The Mash
The Chicago Teachers Union voted Tuesday evening to suspend the city's first teacher strike in 25 years, returning more than 350,000 students to the classroom on Wednesday.
Three Mash reporters who attend CPS schools and are headed back to class weighed in below with their feelings about the strike being over.
By Shantae Howell
Walter Payton
Ah, school… though it's a relief to get back to being educated, this past week and a half has allowed me to search the depths of my soul for sources of entertainment after clearing my DVR and finishing my common application for college. I can now say I've successfully applied for 17 college scholarships and had one failed attempt to turn my hair navy blue with a mixture of vinegar, Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade Kool-Aid and hair conditioner. The strike did not turn out to be as detrimental to my college application process as I feared. As a result of the amazing support of the Boeing Scholars Program, through which I applied for four colleges for a Chicago Scholars admissions forum and college workshops offered by the University of Chicago for CPS students, I'm feeling ready to get back to my last year of high school and go have lunch with my counselor.
This past week and a half have been some of the most meaningful and enriching experiences I've had. While some of my friends wasted their days off with rather frivolous activities, I was picketing and marching with my teachers. I did this because I supported their message—that students are more than test scores, that a longer day should mean more pay, and that there's only so much teachers can do for students with large classes and without proper resources. While the teachers accomplished some of their goals in striking, some necessary educational reforms were left out for the sake of compromise. However, this agreement is a step in the right direction to improve Chicago's public schools and hopefully the long-term results will be well-worth these days of absence from the classroom. The strike has been a small part of a larger movement to fix public education—a movement I'm glad I took part in.
STRIKE OVER. HAVE TO DO HOMEWORK. HURRY! HOW DO YOU DO THIS MATH? WHAT WAS THE ENGLISH ESSAY PROMPT? PANIC. PANIC. PANIC. These are the frantic thoughts dashing through every CPS student's mind after it was announced the strike was over. After more than a week off of school due to the strike, many have still not completed their homework and have even forgotten how to do it! I am no exception. But with the hyperventilating also comes intense relief. We finally get to go back to school! We can see our new teachers! We can meet up with our old friends! We can at last get back on track for college! YES! Even though I have to write an essay due tomorrow, I'm still extraordinarily excited for the second first day of school.
>> How do you feel now that the strike is over? Leave us a comment below or tweet us @mashchicago to let us know.

I am still new to beekeeping and have deep supers and shallow supers.
Whether you use all mediums or all deeps, your equipment will be interchangeable.
Another advantage of medium boxes is you can build them your self using standard lumber (1" x 8" x 8 feet). I've tried sourcing boards for deeps and found I'd need to go to a 2" board which increases the expense and weight.
I must be having an attack of old-timers disease today...There was a post late last week regarding 8-frame equipment, and someone mentioned a supplier other than Brushy Mountain (started with R, I think) Now I can't find it anywhere!. Would someone be kind enough to either point me to that post, or remind me of the supplier's name?Thanks,Pat

Chile's second largest carrier has begun flying its initial A320 on domestic and international routes, with a second to join it by the end of this month.
Sky Airline, Chile's second largest carrier providing passenger, postal and cargo air transport services since 2002, began flying an Airbus A320-200 May 31 to cover domestic and international routes. Sky Airline received two A320-200s earlier this month, and is expected to start operating the second Airbus A320-200 by end of June.
Based in Santiago, Chile, Sky Airline flies to many of the country's top destinations, including Arica, Iquique, Calama, Antofagasta, El Salvador, Copiapó, Concepción, Temuco, Puerto Montt, Balmaceda and Punta Arenas. Sky Airline also has international flights to Arequipa, Peru and La Paz, Bolivia. With the addition of two Airbus A320-200s, Sky Airline will increase international routes throughout Latin America and continue charter flights.
"We are confident we selected the right aircraft for our future development and are impressed with the support from Airbus," said Holger Paulmann, Director of Sky Airline.
"Airbus is proud to be part of Sky Airline's growth strategy," said Rafael Alonso, Senior Vice President, Airbus Latin America and the Caribbean. "The A320-200 is the perfect addition to Sky's fleet with the widest coverage of seating capacity, preferred cabin space and incredible dispatch reliability."
With well over 6,000 aircraft ordered and more than 4,000 delivered to more than 200 operators, the Airbus A318, A319, A320 and A321 make up the world's best-selling single-aisle aircraft family and are the preferred choice with traditional airlines and passengers, as well as with the fast-growing low-cost carrier market for which it is now the reference.
Airbus has trained 18 of Sky Airline's pilots to operate the Airbus A320-200s at its state-of-the-art training center in Miami, which recently welcomed a new Airbus A320 Family Thales Reality7 Level D full flight simulator and has another on the way, as part of its ongoing commitment to provide a complete range of integrated training solutions.
Sky Airline's latest Airbus additions come during an important growth period for Chile. According to the 2010 Airbus Global Market Forecast, Chile's traffic growth is 47 percent above 2000 levels, almost twice the traffic growth rate of all of Latin America.
The addition of modern fleets is a growing trend led by Chile in Latin America. The average age of Chilean passenger fleets is 8.9 years, compared to an average age of 10.6 throughout Latin America.
Airbus has seen its most successful period in Latin America in the last five years, with 300 aircraft sold and a record backlog of over 200 aircraft orders to be delivered to its Latin American customers. Today, almost 370 Airbus aircraft are flying with 22 Latin American airlines, this representing around 42 percent of the fleet in service.
A leading aircraft manufacturer with the most modern and comprehensive product line on the market, Airbus is a global company with design and manufacturing facilities in France, Germany, the UK and Spain, as well as subsidiaries in the U.S., China, Japan and Middle East.

- August 21, 2012 at 4:57 PM
You will be just fine. I started in July and I love fruits as well, but I really want to be happy about my size. For now I am just saying ok I can do this. I have lost 22# so far. I must say that I am looking forward to the day when I can have fruit and starches again. Fruit has natural sugars and we still need to be careful of how much we consume daily. Good luck! Hope you get started soon…. it is very doable!!
