Why Retailers Don't Recover from Bankruptcy: Echoesby
On Feb. 27, about 14 months after it filed for bankruptcy, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. won court approval to resume normal operations as a privately held company. If history is a useful guide, the firm that was the world's largest retailer for much of the 20th century will have a hard time regaining its retail luster.
A&P, which at its peak owned almost 16,000 grocery stores in the U.S. and Canada, is the latest in a very long line of retailers that have turned to the bankruptcy courts to fix their problems.
A few have been successful. United Cigar Stores, one of the largest chains of the early 20th century, skated through bankruptcy court in 1932 and emerged to sell cigars for decades more. After a trip through bankruptcy from 1990 to 1992, Federated Department Stores Inc. took over R.H. Macy & Co., itself a product of bankruptcy reorganization. The resulting company, now known as Macy's Inc., is the nation's largest department-store operator.
But for every such success, there have been hundreds of failures. Bruno's, an Alabama company dating to the early days of supermarkets in the 1930s, went bankrupt in 1998, then emerged to go bankrupt once more in 2009. Penn Traffic Co., a New York grocery chain whose origins dated to the 1850s, liked bankruptcy court so much that it made three visits before closing its doors for good in 2009.
Montgomery Ward, founded as a mail-order house in 1872, filed for bankruptcy in 1997 but couldn't make a go of it even after shedding its debts; it filed again in 2000 and closed up shop. Spiegel, Ward's mail-order competitor for almost a century, emerged from bankruptcy reorganization in 2003 with a new name, Eddie Bauer Holdings, but found itself bust again in 2009.
Why has it proven so difficult for venerable retailers to reorganize successfully in bankruptcy? One reason, shared in common with the thousands of younger retailers that go bust each year, is that the actions that companies typically take in hopes of staving off bankruptcy -- cutting sales staff, deferring store maintenance, reducing inventory, removing light bulbs to cut electricity bills -- tend to drive away shoppers and thus destroy the value of the very brand name the company is trying to save.
Old-line retailers, though, face another obstacle to reviving their businesses: In retailing, venerable usually isn't good.
Once, old retail names carried reputations for fair dealing, good customer service and financial strength -- think Wanamaker's or Filene's. These days, though, shoppers are more likely to associate historic with stodgy. Even if a store has changed formats, labels and product lines, customers associate it with the way it used to be. The store's name, and the brands that go with it, lose value, or even take on negative value. Just ask the folks at Sears.
The new, post-bankruptcy A&P faces many of the same obstacles. Once, its brands -- Jane Parker cakes and dinner rolls, Ann Page canned goods, White House condensed milk -- were among the most powerful in retailing, and customers from Maine to California trusted the A&P name. Now the brands are gone, and if they think of A&P at all, shoppers remember it as the old-fashioned store where their grandmother used to shop. In retailing, a venerable name is a weak foundation on which to rebuild a business.

Pius X 77th Pope Elevated To Sainthood in Rome Rites Hundreds of Archbishops, 500 Cardinals Attend By FRANK BRUTTO VATICAN CITY Pius X who died only 40 years ago, was canonized a saint of the Roman Catholic church today in a majestic ceremony in St. Peter's Square. An estimated half million people stood in hushed silence under a blazing sun as Pope Pius XII pro- nounced the ancient Latin formula that elevated Giuseppe Sarto, Pius X, to the church's highest honor. The Pope made the pronouncement at p.m. a. m. The Pope then stepped down from his throne and knelt, to pray. Just as he did so he drew a hand over his brow, wiping off the sweat caused by the hot .sun and his heavy robes. The stood at 90 degrees on Rome's hot- test day of the year.

For the first time, the Eisenhower admin- istration is experiencing a bad press. The real cause for worry is not that many of the old pro-Taft group of newspapers have now pro- gressed from mild complaint to open vilification. What really hurts is that criticisms arc beginning to be heard from the administration's staunchest supporters.

Then, too, there will be parade and pageant.

The paper accused the United States of trying to reveal the course of the confidential talks in a "one-sided and distorted light whereas the point of view of the other (Soviet) side remains un- known or distorted." The article was the first public presentation here of the Soviet ver- sion of the talks.

Warm Friends Criticize to "join in prayer These reluctant criticisms come from warm friends of the Eisen- hower administration, who want, above all, to see the administra- tion succeed. In three of the four cases, the finger of blame has been pointed at the President himself, which is a phenomenon, which needs explaining. In part, the explanation is ob- vious. The Eisenhower administra- tion tried to luck through the Mc- Carthy problem and the Indochina problem. Its luck did not hold in either case, as was predictable. Great political problems are somewhat like cancer in one re- spect. The longer you postpone the operation, the more painful and dangerous it becomes. Because there was postponement, because there was a long attempt to luck through on McCarthy and Indo- china, the operations are being im- mensely painful and unpleasant. Things are going badly, and the administration's best friends are naturally worried. In part, too, the explanation of the new criticism of the President undoubtedly lies in the President's own character.

Man Found Dead Near Ditched Truck, Companion Held WALKER, Minn. Wi_A 28-year- old Pine River man was found dead beside a ditched truck early today and his 33-year-old com- panion was being held 'without charge pending a coroner's report. The dead man was Orville Myk- kanen, a farmer near Pine River. Deputy Sheriff Gerald Eveland said he was holding Fred Parker, Penuot Lakes, until Dr. A. T. Rozycki, Cass County coroner ex- amines the body and makes a report. Mykkanen's body, which bore no visible marks of violence, was found beside the truck that left a county road 12 miles southwest of Pine River about a.m. today. Parker, who had been with Myk- kanen. during the night, shouted for help, attracting a nearby farm- er who called the sheriff's office. Eveland said Parker, a scrap iron buyer, told him he and Myk- kanen had purchased whisky at a liquor store in Jenkins and had spent the night drinking at a farm home near the scene of the death. Parker said he had purchased scrap at the farm earlier Friday. Parker told Eveland that both fell out of the truck when it went into the ditch. Parker had a slight bruise on his head. Fatal Success Noted OKLAHOMA CITY city ex- Grand Rapids, was killed about a.m. when his car went off highway 169 about 5V4 miles south of Grand Rapids and hit a drive- way. Officers said Jam, who was alone, apparently fell asleep. Martin Henry Janssen, 37, Clara City farmer, died at 5 a.m. in a Wiflmar hospital from injuries suffered Friday in a collision at a country road intersection two miles northwest of Clara City. He leaves a widow and three small children. The two deaths increased the state's 1954 traffic toll to 237. This was 45 higher than at this time a year ago. As the long weekend began, Gov. Anderson issued orders for the Minnesota Highway Patrol to be especially alert and to "call them close" against speeders and care- less drivers. For the nation, 340 traffic fatali- ties were predicted before the lengthy holiday ends at midnight Monday, 10 of them destined for Minnesota. Hearings Remind Judge of Egg Tale GATLINBURG, Tenn. Winfred B.

He wz.3 afraid to move OIJL in fear the egg might break, was afraid to stand still in feac it might hatch."

It showed Pius X in his papal robes, his hand uplifted. Carried to Millions Pius X is the 77th of 260 popes to be made a saint. None of the others was canonized in the square. For the first time the ceremon- ies bestowing the church's highest honor was carried to millions by means of radio and television. Pius X was known during his life- time as "Papa saint Pope. The ceremonies today, only 40 years after his death, make him that in fact. The Roman Catholic pontiff, Giuseppe Sarto, was born in the little northern Italian towi of Riese June 2, 1835. His parc-nts were poor, but aid by his'bishop enabled him to attend a seminary and become a priest. He was noted for extreme hu- mility and charity from his earli- est years. In 1903, when he was archbishop of Venice, he was called to a papal conclave in Rome. He assured his followers he would return quickly, and some accounts say he bought a roundtrip ticket, borrowing 300 lire to pay for it. But Cardinal Sarto never re- turned to Venice. None was more surprised than he when the con- clave elected him the 258th pope in the long history of the Catholic Church.

Gromyko snarled up yesterday's initial meeting of ex- perts who are seeking to find out how much common ground there was in the Communist and non- Communist proposals. Gromyko tossed in new demands aimed at forcing the conference to sanction Communist claims in Laos and Cambodia, the smaller of the three Associated Indochinese States. The West has insisted the Com- munist-led Vietminh be allowed after the cease-fire to hold terri- tory only in Viet Nam and that Red forces be evacuated entirely from the kingdoms of Laos and Cambodia. Should the Communists persist in demands for "assembly zones" in all three states, observers pre- dict the conference might founder next week. That is the period that both France's Foreign Minister Georges Bidault and Britain's For- eign Secretary Anthony Eden have predicted would be decisive. The Communists and the West are agreed on the principle of the assembly zones into which the op- posing armies would be withdrawn when the cease-fire is sounded. But there is basic disagreement over where and how these zones should be established. Eden proposed earlier this week that senior officers of the two op- Sunday 74. Generally fair and warmer Monday.

Changes Asked Gromyko said yesterday Russia would accept this vided it was changed to leave a clear implication that the officers would draw cease-fire lines for all three Assocated States. Gromyko also suggested that the officers meet in Indochina rather than Geneva. The West had as- sumed there was agreement on Geneva as the site of the military discussions. A representative of the French high command 'is already en route here from Saigon to take part in the talks. Gromyko also made-it clear at yesterday's meeting that Russia would oppose any serious discus- sion of international supervision of a cease-fire until after the con- ference had agreed on location of assembly zones. Some issues raised by Gromyko were new. Others had been brought up previously by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. but ap- parently withdrawn in the face of Western opposition. Western experts were astonished to find .these points raised at what was supposed to be a working group charged merely with find- ing a common ground among the different proposals before the con- ference. 4 Drown When Tornado Upsets Boat in Missouri BAGNELL, Mo. UP! A tornado upset an excursion boat on the Lake of the Ozarks yesterday. At least four persons and probably six were drowned. Six passengers and the pilot were rescued. Two of the passen- gers said the pilot saved their lives. Owners of the capsized craft said it was routine to send another boat to check on its excursions when a storm blew up, and that precaution put a rescue boat along- side the stricken craft quickly. The known dead: Mrs. Letha Rockwell, 50, and a daughter, Rosalyne Ruth Rock- well, 16, Belle Plaine, Iowa. Mrs. Richard Lamberty and a son, Warren, 2, Fremont, Neb. Missing were Duaine Hodges, 19, of Missouri Valley, Iowa, and Pa- tricia Gump, 16, of Tunis, Mo. A relative said he saw them get on the excursion boat but it was not certain they were aboard. The bodies of Mrs. Rockwell, her daughter and Warren Lamberty were recovered within an hour. Rescued were Lamberty; Junior Graham, 18, of Brumley, Mo., the pilot; Darwin Rockwell, 48, hus- band of Mrs. Rockwell; Emmett O'Leary. 41, and his wife, Ruth, 33, of Berkeley. Mo.; Lt. V. H.

Oklahoma is constitutionally dry. Senator Warns No Power Can Stop His Probe White House Insists Executive Has 'Sole Responsibility" By JACK BELL WASHINGTON A head-on constitutional conflict between Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) and the Eisen- hower administration hung heavily today over the Senate inquiry into the treatment of Army Pvt. G. David Schine. The Senate's "who probe into the dispute between McCarthy and Army officials was temporar- ily submerged in a roaring battle over the Wisconsin senator's dec- laration that "no power on earth" will stop him from seeking infor- mation from government employes about "corruption, graft or trea- son." McCarthy took this stand after a statement by Atty. Gen. Brown- ell from the White the executive branch of the government "sole responsibility" for protect- ing the nation's security.. Brownell, with President Eisen- hower's approval, gave this reply to McCarthy's earlier call on the two million federal workers in the executive department tp give the senator secret information despite presidential orders to the con- trary: Turn to Constitution "The obligations and duties of the executive, judicial, and legis- lative branches of the government are defined by the Constitution "That (executive) responsibility can't te usurped by any individual who may seek to set himself above the laws of our land or to over- ride orders of the President of the United States to federal employes of the executive branch of the government." The constitutional argument speedily found its way into the Senate Investigations (subcommit- tee's televised hearings' where it developed additional political over- tones. Firing in all directions, Mc- Carthy said: Eisenhower is "an extremely busy man" and is "getting bad advice." He is not suggesting that Brown- ell "resign or anything like but he hopes to persuade the at- torney general "that where he does have the duty to enforce the law, that we have the duty to ex- pose any failure to enforce law." He stands on his position that federal employes are "duty bound to give me information even though some littlj bureaucrat stamped it secret to protect him- self." Won't His Democratic colleagues on the investigations subcommittee, currently waging a fight for full access to subcommittee files, "will not get the names of the loyal gov- ernment employes who gave us the evidence of treason that has been growing over the past 20 or 21 years." These issues spewed out of the inquiry into Army charges that McCarthy and his aides improper- ly sought favored Army treatment for Pvt. Schine, a former unpaid subcommittee consultant, and the McCarthy camp's contention that top Army officials used Schine as a "hostage" in efforts to sidetrack an investigation into alleged Com- munists in Army installations. Roy M. Cohn, McCarthy's counsel, got in some under-oath denials yesterday of these charges but the subcommittee quit until Tuesday with cross-examination of him by Special Counsel Ray H. Jenkins still unfinished. McCarthy's attacks, which inter- rupted testimony, brought a Demo- cratic defense of the President and Brownell, Republican criticism of Democrats for making "political speeches" and a threat to carry the fight over subcommittee to the Senate itself. Sen. Symington (D-Mo) told newsmen that if McCarthy persists in what the Missourian called" blacking out information in the files from the Democrats, "I'm go- ing to take the issue to the Senate and find out where we stand." Remains Chairman McCarthy has stepped off the subcommittee for the inquiry into his dispute with Secretary Stevens and other Army officials, but he remains chairman of its parent Government Operations Commit- tee. Symington criticized GOP mem- bers for what he termed their "abysmal silence" while he and Sen. Jackson (D-Wash) were say- ing that BrpwneU and the Presi- dent were right in contending that no unauthorized person should get secrrity information from govern- mert employes. ;

Parents make powerful choices for their children. One of the most important is the decision to give them vaccines that will protect them from deadly, disabling diseases. As USA TODAY reported Wednesday, chicken pox, measles, mumps and whooping cough are not distant, forgotten diseases. They may be right next to you, in an infected traveler on an airplane ("Reports of sick travelers climb," News).
Right now, in fact, several states are experiencing outbreaks of whooping cough, or pertussis. In California, the pertussis epidemic has killed six infants this year who were too young to be fully vaccinated.
In 2008, the same story played out with measles. An unvaccinated boy returned home from Switzerland with measles, and over the next few days, more than 800 people around San Diego were exposed to the virus. Eleven other unimmunized children caught measles, including three who were too young to be vaccinated.
Vaccines truly are life-saving, and they represent our best defense against diseases such as measles and pertussis. When community vaccination rates are high, that protects vulnerable members of society, especially infants.
We know parents have questions about vaccines. Pediatricians, who provide 80% of childhood immunizations in this country, work hard every day to provide the answers. We must convince the public that the threat of disease is not theoretical, but real. And we already have the most effective weapon at our disposal.
Judith S. Palfrey, M.D., President, American Academy of Pediatrics; Boston

Most of today's top echelon NBA teams are engineered by very good to great point guards. NBA championship success has shifted from the big man as the predominant position to a point guard driven league. Take a look at the New York Knicks revival starting with the acquisition of Jason Kidd to replace Jeremy "Linsanity" Lin. The Lakers are putting the hopes of their team chemistry into finding a way to win with a 38-year-old point guard in Steve Nash.
The Los Angeles "Lob City / Show Time" Clippers have experienced uncharted water for the franchise with the two headed warriors of Chris "CP3" Paul and Chauncey Billups at the point. Once Tony Parker was teamed up with Tim Duncan the San Antonio Spurs have been champions and championship contenders ever since. Point made.
In the early stages of the game of basketball, and the NBA, there was the center, two forwards and two guards. The two guards were both expected to be able to dribble, run fast-breaks, set up the team, basically, do everything. In today's game that has changed. The true skill commodity of today's point guard position is far and few in between, hard to find and very valuable.
The center, power forward, small forward and shooting guard positions are easily identifiable as to what their roles are in principle and expectation. The point guard position encompasses a broader responsibility than any of the other positions, especially on the offensive end.
Point guards come in all forms, small and quick to tall and athletic. There are scoring type point guards, who look to score first then pass out of necessity or passing point guards who look to pass first and then there is the hybrid or combination, (combo), point guard. Hybrids or combo point guards have littered the basketball landscape for years because they can dribble, shoot, pass the basketball, are quick and in many cases have good court vision. They are converted to play the point guard position because they have all the attributes of a point guard, but they are not point guards at heart.
Many purest in basketball believe that point guards are born, not made. A very good point guard brings intangibles, instincts and skills that cannot be taught or coached. The point guard should represent the team's head coach, on the floor making sure the plays, theories and tempo of the game best suits the team overall. These point guard responsibilities should continue depending on the opponent the team is competing against down to precise situations in a game. During these precise situations a good point guard should take control of the game by scoring and or making the best decisions down the stretch.
The NBA has a new crop of point guards on the risewho many believe will lead the NBA into their next level as the NBA continues to enhance and expand the brand. These young NBA point guards have risen to the top of the pack early in their careers have done so by actual performance, statistics or via potential. In ranking these young point guards I want to look at the upside of some NBA point guards who are 24 years old or younger; Kyrie Irving, Cleveland, Ricky Rubio, Minnesota, Damian Dillard, Portland, John Wall, Washington, Derrick Rose, Chicago, and Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City.
1. Russell Westbrook is at the top of the list because his statistics and team achievements confirm his ability to deliver for his team. Among point guards on this list, Westbrook second in scoring with a 21.7 points per game. He is first on the list in rebounding, assist and steals. Last season, Westbrook led his Oklahoma City team to the NBA finals eventually losing to the NBA champion Miami Heat. Westbrook is an athletic, hybrid point, not a born point guard. He may be the fastest player with the basketball from one end to the other end. His statistics reveal his assets at the point. Westbrook periodically makes poor decisions connected to the point guard intangibles is his liability. The question is whether his assets override his liabilities in guiding his Thunder team to an NBA championship.
2. Derrick Rose would be neck and neck with Westbrook, had he not suffered an ACL tear after winning his first NBA league MVP. The Chicago Bulls are a good team without Rose but have the potential to be a great team with a healthy Rose. Rose like Westbrook is a hybrid, athletic point guard, but was not born a point guard. Rose and Westbrook are explosive driving to the basket and strong finishers when they get to the cup. Rose also has more responsibilities than Westbrook without a sidekick on par with Durant(or Harden). Neither player Westbrook or Rose has led their respective teams to a championship, they will contradict the pure point guard theory that you need a pure point guard to win it all.
3. Kyrie Irving is the next intriguing point guard on the list. His talent/skill level as a basketball player is very high. Unlike Westbrook and Rose, Irving is as smooth as they come at the point. He is a knock down pure shooter from beyond the three point line in. He is also a great finisher at the basket and is like a small version of Carmelo Anthony when it comes to the ease and volume of points he can score at a time. When you think of recent history guards with this blend of talent and skill you think Stephon Marbury. Marbury could do everything, score inside, out and could get to the basket at will. Unfortunately Marbury did not possess the point guard intangibles to lead a team to an NBA championship. This will be the same challenge for Kyrie Irving who is averaging around 23 points per game this season. Once he has the pieces, the question is can he lead a team to the promise land?
- 4. Damian Lillard has emerged from the woods of Portland to establish himself as a point guard to contend with in his first year in the NBA. Though he plays the point guard position he possesses many of the qualities of former Portland Trailblazer Brandon Roy. Just like Roy, Lillard is never rushed, when he is able to set his feet on jump shots he is deadly from long and short range or when shooting runners. When he attacks the basket he is always under balanced control and able to finish like Brandon Roy before his injuries and eventual release. Lillard's ability to score is not in question, the question is; is he a hybrid or was he born a point guard? The circumstances and the question that surround Kyrie Irving now will be asked of Lillard as this younger player continues to develop and season in his decision making as the Blazers rebuild their team from an injury laden recent past.
5. John Wall could easily be in the fourth position on the list. He has already proven himself in the NBA and only Damien Lillard's outstanding outside shooting abilities put him above John Wall, (before his injury), at this time. Outside of shooting accuracy and scoring John Wall would be No. 4 among my young point guards list. When Wall was healthy he was explosive and athletic like Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose. Westbrook, Rose and Wall have improved their outside shooting since coming into the NBA. When John Wall was healthy the Washington Wizards were still on a climb to get out of the cellar. The Wizards are still on that rebuilding climb, so it will take a few more years and talent around Wall to see if John Wall can point the Washington Wizards to an NBA championship title.
6. Ricky Rubio is the one born, pure point guard in this group. Unfortunately, due to injuries, a full evaluation can not be made by reason of limited time served in the NBA. But I can say that Rubio is by far the best passer, with maybe the best court vision with the basketball and a high, maybe the highest ability to see the game two, three sometimes four steps ahead of plays as they unfold. He can make all the regular passes, all the must be able to make passes, as well as, the seemingly impossible passes you thought he did not see or could make. Ricky Rubio lacks the athletic ability out of all the young point guards listed possess. He makes up for it with his dribbling skill, talent and an uncanny know-how IQ that allows him to compete much like a Steve Nash. His inability to stay healthy is a concern as it is for other players on this list. The question is whether Rubio can charter a team to an NBA championship title. He will need to get stronger, be more durable, improve his shooting touch and be more aggressive. Will he be able to guide a team to a championship? Who he comes with to the dance with will be the determining factor.
As a general manager I would be confidently convincing my team's owner, my boss that we are in good shape with any of these young point guards as we begin rebuilding or starting a new franchise.
If I were picking a point guard today, it would be Kyrie Irving. He has the best demeanor, the mindset, skill-set to make small adjustments and major learning curve changes that will be necessary to lead a team that has the talent to support him, to an NBA championship(s).
All of the young points listed here have the ability to be destined for greatness. Some have already shown glimpses of greatness and others are just starting out. The race to the top of the NBA is filled with point guards leading the way. Who among this illustrious list of talented young point guards has their eyes wielded on the prize of the point?

Probably similar to the Okada Projects coils, which i've been running for years.
Some guys here in AU use spacers, but from what i've read, they're not road legal and could give Mr Plod something to complain about (if he notices).. in case you were thinking of using them to tweak...
If you explain in a little more detail, we might be able to understand what you're asking. ie, "everything"... ? the whole gauge? what?
CTS Turbo Intake
You can also buy the s3 flange (I got mine from ECS) which doesn't have the extra outlet, then you won't need the block off thingy..
I refuse to use quattroworld for that reason.. it's like some early 90's newsgroup shoved into a webpage. Hideous.
Hey Jason, this looks like more of your "friends'" handywork ;)
That poor beast must get so bored sitting in workshops for most of its life ;)
Not sure if their hats are aluminium..
Or slightly more affordable would be these.. I think our rotors are the same size as the 3.2l...
Mine very rarely goes off too.. like it might have been sitting in the garage a couple of days and suddenly it goes off.. no fault codes, no idea.
Just like how the boot pops open randomly...
They're not needed anymore. Fitting MSS springs fixes the cause, whereas upgrading the RSB was only a band-aid.
Ah, not as drastic as I thought. Is #3 a finished pic? I'd have thought you need to chop the grey bit to the right as well?
Not 100% decided yet, a few look quite yummy here:...
Is it just me, or do both your website address and facebook page have issues? (don't exist)
Has anyone got some pics of a ground-down tab? I had a look last night, and curious how much you can grind off before it stops doing its job?
I'm thinking of some 9.5" rims too, wondering if I can...
I think this is rather appropriate, and they posted it themselves even.. :rolleyes:
So in the meantime while we're waiting for updates, we could play a game..
What are some words that the initials TS could stand for?
Let's make a list...
Mild steel vs stainless.. just for looks or any other differences?
Try extending the length of the antenna wire on your garage door's mechanism..?
Easiest thing to just try.
Have you got haldex fluid to top up with after the swap? The instructions which say you lose a 'teaspoon' are a bit of a laugh...

Jun 21 2013
We thought it might be fun to get the NFL RUSH community opinion on the best player for each of the 32 teams. We randomly selected the New York Jets to be the fourth team for this poll.
Based on their skills and importance to the team we narrowed down their roster to the 5 finalist listed below in alphabetical order.
Antonio Cromartie - (DB)
David Harris - (LB)
Santonio Holmes - (WR)
Nick Mangold - (C)
D'Brickashaw Ferguson - (OT)
Our Pick: Nick Mangold
As a four-time Pro Bowler, Center Nick Mangold is the cornerstone of the offensive line, but his value to the team extends beyond his play on the field. He is also an influential team leader and mentor to the younger players. For all of these reasons, we have selected Nick Mangold as the best player on the Jets.

The third developer I visited in San Francisco was even more unlike the others than the others were to each other. The online vendor of women's vintage and vintage-style clothing ModCloth was started by high school sweethearts Susan Gregg and Eric Koger. Susan had an interest in vintage clothing and was amassing quite a collection, and while still studying at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, she started selling some of her excess vintage clothing online. Her boyfriend Eric (they have since married) was studying at the same institution, and he helped her launch a website in 2002. ModCloth grew like topsy from there. Now, just over a decade later, the firm is headquartered in San Francisco's Market district (the site I visited) while retaining an office and despatch warehouse in Pittsburgh.
What makes it markedly different to the other companies I visited is 1/ it's an online business, so it's platform independent, and indeed most of the computers at the San Francisco site I saw were non-Apple PCs.
2/ Almost all the products sold by ModCloth are expressly for women - there were only two or three products listed for men specifically in the company's large and ever-expanding catalogue.
Finally, 3/ the staff at ModCloth's San Francisco office is overwhelmingly female. While women were represented at the other two companies (Smule and AutoDesk), they probably had a more typical ratio of men and women in this industry; ie men in the majority. At ModCloth, the only men I noticed were some of the developers and those handling web and traffic 'backend', which is located in San Francisco and to some extent in Pittsburgh.
ModCloth has grown fast. It now has 400 staff in three centres, including an office in Los Angeles. The business model is of an online community united by its shared interest, and ModCloth's modus operandi is clearly about engaging, retaining and satisfying this community. The customer is referred to constantly as 'she', quite deliberately, and in a familiar and friendly way. You can tour founder Susan Gregg Koger's 'virtual closet' and she still blogs on the site every month.
As Jennifer Grasso, Director of Product Management and Customer Experience explained, ModCloth buys vintage-inspired clothes in small lots from designers and studios and tests them on the market using interactive approvals, but it even lets customers add their own home-made designs. Customers can upload pictures of themselves dressed in their own designs for comparison, and to help potential clients visualise themselves in the same sorts of clothes, and some of these user-generated designs have the potential to go into production by one of the 200 or so labels ModCloth vends. In other words, ModCloth is not just about fashion but covers the entertainment and gratification of a like-minded community, with the facility to communicate and share thoughts and designs across that membership. There are fashion, beauty and lifestyle categories, a news and contests section and videos posted up by ModCloth 'curators'. What's interesting is that the style focus is clearly retro but the business has always been 100 per cent online, with no bricks-and-mortar outlets at all, and the online offering is constantly being refined and improved.
So why was I there? ModCloth has been working in the mobile space since only last year. Fontaine Foxworth, head of mobile, told us ModCloth's efforts started
with just a mobile version of the site, but they quickly noticed 80 per cent of the traffic was from iOS. Naturally ModCloth started thinking about an iPad app as an engagement tool. The app, which is universal so the same version works on iPhone and iPad, has push notifications when an order ships, lets people know when inventory is low.
But what ModCloth has noticed is that the app has created more customer loyalty, and app users tend to spend more than typical online clients. With app users at only around five per cent of the total of ModCloth's reach, app users have been found to visit way more often and come back a lot more.
Being able to browse with a device in your lap also gives you more freedom to connect - in the lounge, at a café or in a work break.
The company also really appreciates the retina screen of the iPad 4 and iPhone 4S and 5. Clients love if for closely inspecting clothes going "right into the cloth". Fontaine said the app also encourages users to review garments. "We get three times mores loves on the app even though there are ten times more users in browsers."
Several other factors stand out. With the app, browsing through the collections is used much more than search, since the experience is so pleasurable. Wishlists are customisable and products can be marked as favourites.
Most of ModCloth's business is, of course, in the US, with around 10-20 per cent of traffic from offshore, but as international sales increase, ModCloth has instituted a 60-day returns window. Keep in mind that for us Antipodeans, the seasons are reversed, so if you visit the site now, you'll see their summer collections.
As a model of a modern business using the internet, ModCloth stands out as a 'social shopping experience'. While the company caters to a niche market it knows well, it makes continuous efforts to know it more effectively, engage it more and to serve it better; part of this involves inviting women into the San Francisco office to preview new cloths and shoes.
ModCloth is also a great example of how to build and engage a community with a very well-tailored app.

First thing you want to do is aquire a wiring diagram for the powertrain .
Thats a must.
Also get a diagram of the electrical component locations. You need it to find all the modules that you will be running.Should only be 2 or 3 but non
theless you need to ID the ones in play. Should be PCM, VATS Mod and maybe BCM...or not.
Get both of those in Print, maybe laminate them so you keep them clean and you will have them for future reference.Or download a full set to a file on your shop PC.
Next...study the connectors and how they come apart without destroying them. They are all pretty simple once you take a few minutes to understand how they work.Keep the tabs intact and keep the locks also.
Also learn how the fuel system lines are put together and do not cut
anything there as you will want to use some or most of that.
There is plastic fuel line available also to fab up lines to the truck and when you get to that point I have some pointers I can give you in that dept as well.
So dissasemble ,with care as you may or may not need anything from the vette.
You will also notice the fuel pump comes out of the tank pretty easy, and you may want to get started scoping out how you are going to run a in tank pump in the old 65.
Neet project!
I will be around. Please post any questions on the board, no PMs please, as any info posted will help other guys in the future, with a PM it only helps one.
If needed , PM me to get my attention to a specific post. No problem

I am unbelievably bad at this. Shooting guns is not that great. Enemies seem to see me when I am behind their room with no windows.
Trying to move in stealth is no fun.
Not seeing the fuss
Okay why am I having trouble with the shooting in this game?

Plug-in Cars Increase 100+% In 2013, After Increasing 100+% In 2012 & ~200% In 2011
April 7th, 2014 by Zachary Shahan
Originally published on EV Obsession.
A new report by by Zentrums für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg (ZSW), which Green Car Congress somehow ran across, shows that the number of plug-in cars on the roads more than doubled from the end of 2012 to the end of 2013. That followed doubling of the number of plug-in cars on the road the year before as well.
Globally, at the end of 2010, there were approximately 25,000 battery-electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and extended-range electric vehicles registered. At the end of 2011, that had approximately tripled, becoming approximately 80,000. At the end of 2012, that rose to about 200,000. At the end of 2013, that more than doubled again to 405,000.
In terms of car companies, the clear leader is Nissan, which saw a particularly steep increase in sales in 2013. GM/Opel is a solid #2, while Toyota is a solid #3. Tesla and Ford are close there at #4 and #5.
Of course, Tesla sales have increased sharply as production of the Model S has gotten rolling. Demand is still higher than supply, but that's also been the case for some other models. Ford also just began production of its popular Energi models at the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013.
There's also a country-focused chart. The US, Japan, and China are clearly the biggest markets. Following them, you have France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Norway. Have a look:
Of course, per capita, Norway leads the pack.

How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.

BBC Review
Two CDs for the price of one: an excellent souvenir of a canny composer.
Andrew McGregor 2010
Igor Stravinsky's Violin Concerto was premiered in 1931 by Samuel Dushkin, and given the rapport they'd established, Stravinsky was eager to cash-in on their new partnership – literally – by devising recitals of his music they could play together without the expense and complication of an orchestra and conductor, allowing Stravinsky to earn money as pianist as well as composer.
The solution was a new work – the Duo concertant – surrounded by crafty arrangements of the most tuneful numbers in Stravinsky's ballets.
Anthony Marwood and Thomas Adès are a great fit: the intensely musical fiddle player at home in new concertos or classical chamber music, and Adès the uncompromising composer-pianist. They begin with the first Suite Stravinsky arranged from Pulcinella, based on pieces thought to be by Pergolesi (it's the first version of what became Suite italienne, and they've added the Scherzino from the later version as an extra on the second disc). Immediately you can hear neo-baroque elegance balanced with brittle Stravinskian exuberance, both players investing the motor rhythms with unstoppable momentum; Adès bubbles boisterously along, while Marwood spins ethereal harmonics or injects stinging venom through a colourful variety of bow strokes.
The Air and Chinese March from Stravinsky's opera The Nightingale are beautifully achieved, with the violin's fluting song and delicate ornamentation staying effortlessly airborne, while the piano intrudes sudden bursts of muscular intensity, before subsiding into shimmering ripples.
The Duo concertant is a highlight; Marwood immaculately in tune whatever double stops, twists and turns Stravinsky throws at him, while Adès's care with the separate strands of the piano part pay dividends. It can seem a cool, dry work, but emphatically not here.
The second disc is Stravinsky's own selection of favourites from The Firebird, Petrushka and Mavra, and the substantial Divertimento he arranged from his deliciously affectionate homage to Tchaikovsky: The Fairy's Kiss. The final item is a curiosity: a solo violin version of La Marseillaise that lasts barely a minute. Two CDs for the price of one, a fine recording, and an excellent souvenir of a canny composer, and two inspired duos, three-quarters of a century apart.

Date of Stay: November, 2006
The main reason (other than passing through) for RV camping in this basic location is proximity (4 miles) to Bosque Del Apache Wildlife preserve. The owner's son was very helpful in parking us after dark. A rather loud train with bells and whistles did pass close by in the early morning hours. There is no TV cable hookup, although the area is well within antenna range of Albuquerque stations. Pastoral fields surround the park which is gravel. There are few camp amenities.
Date of Stay: November, 2006
Campground is somewhat difficult to locate, even with good maps due to poor street signage in Ruidoso. The entrance to the Office is split away from the main campground, bisected by a stream. One has to circle back to enter main camping premises. There is an old, deep concrete tank (formerly a trout hatchery?) that was over grown with mat-algae over the summer and by our visit in November was ripe. Owners are draining and skimming it, but the appearance is an eyesore and generally a nuisance. We parked nearby the stream which was nice but not safe for young children. Camp borders on forest, good for hiking with kids. Found no amenities for young kids in this camp. Ruidoso is a very interesting town.

Xmas Touch for Vintage Bottles
First I printed out the black and white images from The Graphics Fairy. Then I filled two of the bottles with German glitter glass (I didn't have any Epsom salt in the house) to create a faux snow look. I carefully rolled each photo so it would slide into the bottles easily.
After positioning them best I could, I tied a bell onto some twine and then tied them around each bottle. Since the little bottles are just so little, I added some faux, white bell flowers.
I just love the look of the old photos with the old bottles.
