PS I Love You – Death Dreams Review
Release Date: May 8, 2012
Running Time: 40:25
Label: Paper Bag Records
Genre: Noise Rock
Key Tracks:
"First Contact"
Hailing from Kingston, Ontario, Canada, noise pop duo PS I Love You formed in 2006 as an outlet for songwriter Paul Saulnier. Originally writing songs on guitar, pedal organ, and a Casio keyboard, Saulnier eventually made a rhythmic upgrade, recruiting drummer Benjamin Nelson to replace his less than trusty keyboard on percussion. Together, the pair created a manic sound that's atmospheric while remaining almost relentlessly bright, allowing waves of melody to force their way through dense layers of reverb and rumbling organ. PS I Love You released a handful of singles before making their full-length debut in 2010 with Meet Me at the Muster Station, released on Paper Bag Records. Their follow-up, Death Dreams, is chalk-full of amazingly interesting arrangements and guitar work from Saulnier that is nothing short of beautiful. Of course, to truly enjoy it you'll have to get past Saulnier's Ian Curtis meets Gordon Gano vocal style (think something like Jesus Lizard's David Yow or Kurt Cobain in his spunkier moments and you'll be in the ballpark). Death Dreams is one of those records that I can tell ahead of time is going to receive a lot of critical attention. It is interesting to say the least, but I'm not so sure there is anything here (save the final fifteen minutes of the record) that we haven't heard before.
The songs here channel a much prettier version of Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation, but with a constant distraction from Saulnier's chaotic screeching. I don't think it works very well on the album's first half as I can't do anything but try to figure out what the hell he is on about during tracks like "Don't Go". That song would have been an otherwise beautiful, borderline jangle pop anthem. Saulnier uses has the ability to use his voice alternately as an additional instrument or a blunt force weapon. When he is working with the melody, it can be breathtaking. When he works against it, the term 'nails on a chalk board' come to mind. Saulnier's vocal amps up the orchestrated chaos of "Toronto" and especially the album's two closing tracks, "Saskatoon" and "First Contact". It is in these final two tracks that I think the duo truly hit their sweet spot, settling in between the unruly noise and enchanting melody. Here they explore new territory and it is completely satisfying. On "First Contact", Saulnier's guitar work almost channels Phily Lynott. That's right, I just dropped a Thin Lizzy reference. You gotta problem with that? Once getting to the two song finale, it seems like the rest of Death Dreams is little more than filler. There is plenty of fun to be had with the rest. I'm sure "Princess Tower" will please many a fan of American Underground groups. What I take issue with is two clearly talented musicians, who obviously have the will to make something new, just barely missing their mark. They spend just a little bit too much time wallowing in the noise, and not enough exploring a melodic side that makes them truly unique. I want these guys to make an entire album of "Saskatoon". Until then, it's all just yelling. Good yelling, but yelling nonetheless.

The 411: Beware, you are going to be hearing a lot about PS I Love You in the next few months. In truth, there's only about ten minutes of music that you haven't heard before. Fans of the Pixies or Sonic Youth will absolutely find a lot to love in this group, but I wish they had spent more time evolving their own sound.

Surging Portugal Exports Led by Volkswagen Signaling a Recovery
Perched above the Atlantic Ocean in the port of Sines, 15th century explorer Vasco da Gama is overseeing Portugal's efforts for an economic revival.
The bronze statue of the town's most famous native, the first man to sail to India from Europe, overlooks the bay where ships with multicolored cargo transport marble, paper and machinery from Portuguese factories to Africa and Asia. The volume of exports from Sines jumped 27 percent last year.
- Special Report: Hope Dawns for European Recovery
"The biggest movement we see now is loading and unloading containers," Diogo Oliveira, 33, a factory worker who has spent his life in Sines, said at the Atlantico restaurant next to the Nossa Senhora das Salas church, which da Gama ordered to be built on his return from India in 1499. "Before we practically only saw the loading and unloading of coal."
As Europe's indebted nations try to chart their way to recovery from the continent's most debilitating economic crisis since World War II, Portugal is delving deep into its history by reviving commercial routes that its navigators pioneered.
The central bank in Lisbon reported the first trade surplus in at least six decades in 2012 as consumers spend less on imports and lower labor costs help revive manufacturing in Europe. Shipments from Portugal include Scirocco cars made by Volkswagen AG (VOW) and fuel refined by Galp Energia SGPS SA, the country's two biggest exporters. There are also PSA Peugeot Citroen vans, Leica cameras, and plates for Ikea Group.
Exporting Marble
Marble mined and finished by Bloco B Lda. and acrylic fibers made by Fibras Sinteticas de Portugal SA are among the goods sent from Sines. Bloco B's biggest market is Saudi Arabia and almost all the marble this year is headed for abroad, Joao Barreiro da Silva, who runs the company, said last week.
"This definitely reflects a trend in Portugal," Barreiro da Silva said at his office. "There is still a lot of work to do. We are almost halfway through the economic adjustment."
Between the office and the factory, blocks of white marble are lined up under the sun before being processed. Some of the material will be used to refurbish a luxury hotel in Milan.
Sines, 150 kilometers (93 miles) south of Lisbon, was the second fastest-growing port in Europe last year after Poland's Gdansk based on container traffic, according to the Administracao do Porto de Sines SA authority. Poland is the only country in the 27-member European Union to avoid recession during the debt crisis.
New Routes
Mediterranean Shipping Co., a Geneva-based container line calling at 316 ports, started a new weekly stop at Sines on March 21 for its Pendulum Service that will also round the Cape of Good Hope, the route first taken by da Gama in 1497. The company said it was responding to demand from Portuguese exporters. It follows a link between Sines and former colony Angola that started in November.
"The new emerging economies and the crisis in Europe has led our exporters to seek demand further and further away," Lidia Sequeira, president of the port authority, said at her office across the harbor where green cranes hoist containers.
Companies are expanding as labor expenses decline. The cost of employing Portuguese and Spanish workers fell 6 percent between 2009 and 2012, according to a study by Berenberg Bank and the Lisbon Council, a Brussels-based research group.
Peugeot, Leica
Peugeot Citroen (UG), Europe's second-biggest carmaker, is increasing production at its Portuguese plant by 36 percent in 2013, hiring 300 workers, the Economy Ministry said on Feb. 22.
Leica Camera AG opened a 22.5 million-euro ($29.3 million) factory on March 21 in Famalicao, northern Portugal, replacing the German company's old plant from the 1970s. It employs 710 people and all of its output is exported to Germany.
"Exports are almost the most important indicator because they determine the sustainability of the Portuguese economy," said Diogo Teixeira, chief executive officer of Optimize Investment Partners, a Lisbon-based firm managing 62 million euros. "Export performance was one of the factors that led us to believe in the sustainability of Portugal's debt."
Portugal's exports of goods and services represented 39 percent of gross domestic product in 2012, up from 28 percent in 2009, Eurostat data show. While that compares with 52 percent for Germany, it's more than neighboring Spain. About 71 percent of it went to EU countries, even with the new trade routes.
Reversing Trends
VAA-Vista Alegre Atlantis SGPS SA, a maker of glass and fine porcelain, will open a new factory in 2014 and add 144 jobs after signing a contract on April 3 to supply Ikea. Vista Alegre expects exports to eventually account for as much as 90 percent of output, said Paulo Varela, the company's chairman.
"The company was in an extremely difficult situation," Varela said, with only one third of production exported. "Three years later, the situation was completely inverted."
Over the past two years, Portugal has cut the cost of firing workers, lowered unemployment benefits and suspended four national holidays in an attempt to make its labor market more flexible and the economy more competitive.
Companies such as Volkswagen, Europe's biggest carmaker, struck deals with workers, including a reduction in entry-level salaries. All but 1 percent of the cars and vans made by the 3,600 workers are for export, mainly to the EU. The plant accounts for 1.3 percent of the country's economy.
"We have always worried not to inflate unit labor costs as it's one of the competitive factors that we have to take care of," Antonio Melo Pires, executive director of the Volkswagen Autoeuropa factory, said at the plant in Palmela, southeast of Lisbon. "In western Europe, we are the cheapest labor unit plant. When compared with eastern Europe, we are now more or less the same as Poland."
Long Voyage
Portugal's voyage to recovery has a long way to go, not least because the country's economy has been the euro region's laggard for at least a decade.
Its last emergency funding, from the International Monetary Fund in 1983, was coupled with a currency devaluation, not an option this time round for a euro member. While labor costs are falling, it's by less than in Greece and Ireland.
"It is clearly a factor that puts on some pressure and makes it more difficult in terms of international competitiveness," said Varela at Vista Alegre.
Unlike fellow recipients of euro-era bailouts Greece and Ireland, Portugal never experienced the rapid growth before the collapse. Spending on highways, resorts and ports piled on debt without the growth. Gross domestic product rose an average of less than 1 percent a year in the decade prior to the European debt crisis erupting in Athens in late 2009.
No Boom
Portugal had a "bust without a boom," Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar said on April 11 in Dublin where he met his European counterparts to extend the nation's bailout loans. "Portugal's imbalances were exposed."
To secure the extra time, Portugal still needs to propose alternative measures to meet this year's deficit target after a Constitutional Court ruling blocked 1.3 billion euros of spending cuts this month.
At about 15,600 euros last year, GDP per capita is less than half of Ireland's and about 9.3 percent below that of Greece, making it western Europe's poorest country, according to EU data. The government forecasts the economy will shrink another 2.3 percent this year, twice its earlier prediction.
"People are feeling more the recession than growth and exports," said Oliveira at the Atlantico eatery in Sines, chatting with one of the waiters. "The container terminal has been expanding. It provided some direct and indirect jobs. But maybe it wasn't noticed as much as expected."
Raising Taxes
The government forecasts the jobless rate will climb to 18.2 percent this year. That compares with 26 percent in neighboring Spain, the highest in the euro region along with Greece, and 6.9 percent in Germany.
Portuguese Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho is implementing 5.3 billion euros of deficit-cutting measures this year. Government debt increased to 124 percent of GDP in 2012 from less than 50 percent when the country joined the euro in 1999, said Gaspar, the finance minister.
Based on 10-year bond yields at 5.8 percent, Portugal's extra borrowing costs compared with benchmark German bunds are twice those of Ireland, which the country is trying to emulate by exiting its bailout program over the next year.
"This adjustment is not working, it's nonsense," said Pedro Lains, an economics professor at Lisbon University's Social Sciences Institute. "The transformation is slow and was being done before the crisis. Companies that are only exporters or that export more than 50 percent are rare."
More Ships
Tania Vieira, 30, who works at Atlantico, has witnessed the export activity at the container terminal, which opened in May 2004. Now she's waiting for the benefits to reach people's pockets in the country of 10.5 million.
"Today you can see a lot more movement of ships than 10 years ago," she said as she tended tables and served drinks. Hanging on the wall over the bar is a scarf of the local Vasco da Gama soccer club. "The port expanded."
Vieira finished high school in Sines before leaving for Alverca near Lisbon for six years, working in a supermarket and running a store. She returned seven years ago before Portugal was engulfed by the debt crisis.
Up on the cliff, da Gama's statue looks out at fishing boats huddling in the harbor and the cranes towering over the container terminal. A tugboat slowly chugs into port and in the distance the Melina container ship arrives from Valencia in eastern Spain before heading on to Boston.
History Lesson
Da Gama was born in Sines around 1469. After his first voyage to India, the Portuguese in 1511 conquered Malacca, which today is in Malaysia and about 200 kilometers northwest along the coast from Singapore.
Five centuries later, the Sines container terminal is operated under a concession by PSA International Pte, owned by Singapore's investment company Temasek Holdings Pte.
About a 90-minute drive from Sines, Fibras Sintéticas, known as Fisipe, exports about 99 percent of its production, including in containers shipped through the port to markets such as South Africa. And it's not just lectures in fiscal discipline that are coming from Germany. Wiesbaden-based SGL Carbon SE (SGL) completed its acquisition of Fisipe last year and is upgrading production lines to the tune of 25 million euros.
"If you look at history, one can say that Portugal was actually the first globalized nation in the world," said Stefan Seibel, Fisipe's managing director. "The inventors of globalization were the Portuguese."

A week ago I filled out a payday loan online. I recieved a call from a Sindy Lee from Express Consumer Loans refering to a loan and that I was approved for 1000 dollars. I was busy at the time a told them ill give them back. So today 12-5-13 I recieved another call asking am I still going to proceed with the loan. Now I really needed this money so I said yes an they said well first we will need a fee of 175 for a conformation fee an they asked for my credit score??? Crazy rite. But like a fool I still went and got the Greendot Moneypak card and gave it to them with was a total of 175. Then they said that I owed them another 175 for a State To State Commission fee for Maryland. At that point I knew I was done for. People do not go for this company they are scammer's and pretty good at it if I say. If u dont know where its coming from do your research ALWAYS!!! They got me for my last 175 and it hurts. Like the old saying goes dont trust things you can't see an things you have to second guess on. I wish somebody will stop them but it will never happen because I feel that these people dont even live in the states. So just be careful at all times and dont give money to people you have never seen before in your life or that you dont know. Sorry to the people who has ever been scammed!!!

This struggle is made more complicated by the fact that Sprint is the largest shareholder of Clearwire. Think of it like an adult (Sprint) and their twenty-something child (Clearwire). Clearwire might ask Sprint for help from time to time, but it is largely its own entity. Clearwire is also struggling to maintain operations. They have laid off employees, and are attempting to auction off unused bandwidth.
Now Clearwire is demanding more money from Sprint. Considering there are 810,000 4G devices in non-4G cities, that's a considerable amount of money every month. It is ever more important considering Clearwire's financial woes. Clearwire said that an unfavorable resolution "could require [them] to revise [their] current business plans and projections and could also adversely affect [their] results of operations."
Both Sprint and Clearwire say that they had agreed on how to disburse 4G revenues. They both also agree that they have different interpretations of that agreement. Whatever happens, we hope it won't result in an increased 4G fee.

We need your opinions
Well be selling our house in a few years and have started thinking about changes and improvements we need to make that will both increase the marketability of the house AND be worth the effort and expense.

Need to inject something fresh.
The effort will be worth it.
A really nice paint job, going neutral to appeal to most people?
Dissention vote: .... Keep it...
J/K :jester:
We have decided to adequately prep the paper (sanding the seams) so we can paper over it with a nice neutral paper.
Thanks for all your comments and suggestions.
The last thing I want to do is buy a house in which I'll have to remove wallpaper. It really is a turn off, especially if there is a lot of it.
It should go, and you should paint, not new wallpaper. IMHO
If you want to change the look remove the paper. Problem may be is that the paper was installed with no prep to the walls and will be impossible to remove. Installing another layer on top will compound the problem. This would be someting I would not want to buy.
house flipper here
I flip houses and all I can say is most of my buyers would puke if they saw that wall paper in any home.... For god sakes remove it! For your own good. You werent seriouly thinking that was a nice look were you?
No cut intended but take it from me, a man who has never had a property last more than 8 days on the market, TAKE IT DOWN NOW!
Trust me I defy all odds.... follow me on this one......
Atlantic failure
Atlantic you are wise in many issues on this website, but style you have lost it if you want that wallpaper to stay. For once I am eons ahead of you. And im not speaking for my taste but the taste of thousands ive dealt with.
Wallpaper removal
Removal of wallpaper comes in two ways. Slow and slow. some of it peals off slow and the rest steams off slow. Either way the tools to do it cost under $60. Follow the directions youll be fine.
If you want a real detailed expert opinion, then ask me and Ill direct you to a website. its free expert advice. NO CHARGE NO CATCHES!
I understand the dilema of the up and coming business person needing answers to their problem. Im glad to honestly help any wallpaper questions. Im well past the best in this field. Ask away!
PS dont expect a normal answer, as fast and good many times doesnt make sense to the average person in society.
I also vote to take it down and just repaint. Its hard to get 2 people to decide on a wall paper and is a turn off for most new buyers.
Nailfun I find your post very rude and a total lack of respect. We are here to help people get on the right track and help out with there ideas and explain how to do things that are relevant. Being rude doesn't cut it with me at all and I think you should apologies.
im baffled
My bluntness is honesty and nothing more. take it for nothing more. I would hope more people would face truths these days.
And not to be rude but painting over wallpaper has bad happenings. Most of the time the wallpaper peels up at the seems, as well as at the top of the base board and where the paper meets the ceiling. If is doesnt happen the day you paint it, it will happen a month or two later, which shows a total lack of experience on your part to advise anyone to paint over wallpaper. And not to mention the potential bubbles in the wallpaper when the paper gets wet. Sometimes you get lucky and it contracts as it drys, and other times you are left with big bubbles in the wallpaper, and YOURE SCREWED! Get out your CHECKBOOK!
Based on experience of course. Buy the darn $50 steamer. Email me and Ill tell you how to do it. THE PAPER HAS TO GO IF YOU WANT TO SELL!

Harris, Willingham bring credibility
Originally Published: December 14, 2004By Rod Gilmore | ESPN Insider
Tyrone Willingham was fired at Notre Dame, and Walt Harris was about to be fired at Pittsburgh. Both have landed in the Pac-10, and the conference is better for it.
Willingham and Harris help give the Pac-10 the best group of coaches the conference has seen since the days of John Robinson (USC), Terry Donahue (UCLA), Bill Walsh (Stanford) and Don James (Washington).
With Pete Carroll and Norm Chow at USC, Jeff Tedford at California, Mike Bellotti at Oregon and Dirk Koetter at Arizona State, Willingham and Harris give the Pac-10 a strong group of coaches with high profiles. Even Mike Stoops (Arizona) and Karl Dorrell (UCLA) have shown promise in the early stages of their head-coaching careers.

Are You A Mother to Be, Battling Alcohol Abuse? Let Abbeycare Give You The Facts
There are many unfortunate instances of expectant mothers battling alcohol abuse, who wish to give up for the sake of their baby. The Abbeycare Foundation can warn you of the dangers of drinking while pregnant and give you all the facts you need to give up for good, http://www.abbeycarefoundation.com/alcohol-the-facts/alcohol-and-women/.
The Abbeycare Foundation is located in Ayrshire, Scotland. It is the only residential alcohol treatment centre in the UK. Their focus is on alcoholism and the problems arising from alcohol abuse. Abbeycare has a 92% success rate from treatment to recovery. The program accepts anyone dealing with alcohol issues from the age of 18 or older.
At the UK's only alcohol specific program, clients always receive care and effective treatment. Having only ten beds on the premises, Abbeycare caters to a maximum of ten clients at any one time. Every client receives individualized care, designed just for him or her. From detox to recovery, the 28-day stay consistently achieves great success. Qualified therapists run intensive programs, for groups and individuals. Abbeycare utilizes various programs, such as the 12-step program, alternative therapy program, cognitive-behavioural therapy and an individualized aftercare program. All these programs work well together.
The scourge of alcohol abuse can affect men and women of all age groups. Recovery from alcohol abuse is especially important to those women who plan to have a family. There is a great concern for the prevention of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). FAS is a disorder affecting the development of a baby's physical and mental abilities in the first trimester. The syndrome varies in its severity, affecting one in a hundred children. It is completely preventable, by not consuming any alcohol during pregnancy. Alcohol travels to the placenta, affecting the baby's health.
The symptoms of FAS are more noticeable at pre-school age and have many considerable problems. Children may exhibit speech and learning difficulties and poor short-term memory. They may lack social boundaries, have low attention span and hyperactivity. They also tend mix reality with fantasy.
The physical symptoms involve issues with slow growth, facial deformities such as tiny eyes that are far apart and a small jaw. They could have visibly flattened cheekbones, a small head and a flat nose. Some children have excessive body hair. FAS children may also develop abnormal internal organs, affecting the kidneys and heart. There are a lot of symptoms to look out for.
If you are a mum to be struggling with alcoholism, seek care. The Abbeycare Foundation has an excellent team of trained advisors and counsellors who can help you on your way to recovery. Find out more by going to the web site http://www.abbeycarefoundation.com/

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (sometimes referred to as Obamacare) and The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 came with new taxes for higher income taxpayers. The legislation and corresponding taxes were recently upheld by the Supreme Court. Although the new taxes were enacted to alleviate the Medicare system's financial difficulties, they also represent a revenue-raiser to help offset the cost of health care legislation.
With the threat of increased capital gain tax rates in 2013, plus additional taxes for mandated health insurance (added Medicare taxes), many high income taxpayers are wondering if it makes sense to trigger capital gains on stocks and mutual funds this year and then immediately repurchase them. The same logic might also apply to real estate and collectibles.

"Dog Wood Park of Jacksonville, Inc. is a 42-acre swim and play park for people and their doggies (over 25 acres are currently fenced)! The park is one of the country's largest completely fenced dog park--a true heaven on earth for dogs! In addition to the off-leash park we offer self-service dog bathing facilities featuring raised warm water tubs, a shop with people and doggie treats and other merchandise, a full agility course, agility and obedience training, and puppy kindergarten."
Dog Wood Park IS Open to Out of Town Guests!
As the owner of this dog park I was appalled to read the review written on February 4, 2008. I wish I could contact the writer to apologize. The staff who were there when she visited have been replaced, and I am so sorry that she had an unpleasant experience. Of course we follow our stated policies, and of course out-of-town visitors are welcome during all our office hours, including those on weekdays. We at the park take customer service very seriously, and I wish the writer of this review had contacted me so I would have known about her poor treatment by my staff sooner.
Out of towner membership
I was visiting Jacksonville from out of town with my service dog in training and wanted a safe place for him to run in the mornings and get his puppy energy out. I contacted DogWood park ahead of time, as I wanted to visit the park on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning when the office would be closed. They were super nice- I had to fax over the application, plus an statement from my trainer saying Ollie is good with other dogs off leash, and my vaccination/titer records. I paid with my credit card and they actually dropped the key fob off to my husband's grandmother's house so it would be waiting for me when I arrived. They have various prices for out of towner memberships depending on how many days etc you'll be going, so don't feel like you have to buy a whole two months membership if you'll only be there a week! The park itself was very nice. Compared to the parks here in California, it is smaller and less busy, but it was still a great park. The whole park is fenced, and there are a lot of different sections so you can get away from other dogs or be with them as you like. We spent most of our time in the wooded section with trails- it was really fun to walk through the forest. Since the woods were so thick with growth, even though it wasn't a huge wooded area, by going on various trails we were able to walk different paths every time. The restrooms are nice and clean, and you can take your dog in with you. We did stop by the office Wednesday afternoon to drop the key fob off when the office was open, and the staff there was very nice. We will be back to the park in the future next time we visit Jacksonville, that is for sure! My recommendation for people wanting out-of-towner memberships is to call or email ahead of time to set things up. I can imagine that just showing up without explaining your out-of-towner status before hand would be difficult, and I am guessing that is the problem the previous reviewer had. It was really easy to contact them ahead of time, they got back to me quickly, and I would recommend doing it that way for anyone visiting from out of town.
Lied to then ignored...
I realize that I am probably going to be one of the only people to give this place a bad review. I am temporarily visiting Jacksonville and I had high hopes my bringing my dogs here. We frequent several Texas dog parks and events and always have a ball. I noticed on the website that visitors and people visiting the park can visit at any of the office times (weekday afternoons(first noticed on website 12/07 and still up as of 2/08 under the 'Hours" section of their website)-so I went down there at of the specified times. I only had Oni with me. The woman that greeted me told me that people visiting the park (non members) can only visit on weekends. I mentioned that I was from out of town and she repeated the rule about visitors again and that it was ALWAYS their policy that ALL visitors can only visit on weekends. When I mentioned what was posted on the website she ignored me. I couldn't believe it and just stood there stunned. After waiting for an reponse as to why her policy did not match what was said on the website, she grabbed a park pamphlet and circled the weekend visitor hours on it and gave it to me. What was funny is that the handout actually states the same policy that those visiting out of state and first time visiors can go at any of the office times. I figured all of this really wasn't worth my time and left. I did however find a nice park that is closer to where I am currently staying and Oni and I made a few friends. The family members that I am living close to did warn me that people in that area can be a bit "funny" when it comes to certain types of people...it's sad really. I hate to think that people can be that way, but the behavior of that woman (which I later found out was the owner) left me with that impression.posted: February 4th, 2008

Please go vote.
Please go vote.
so, what is the dominant bike? judging by the linked pics it looks like its suzuki. if that is the case, seeing as i own 4
i kinda like it the way it is. why sabotage a winning brand just to mske a lesser player competitive because all they do is whine instead of designing something that actually works. Even if Suzuki wasn't competitive i would still feel the same about it. Bitching and whining is the only way Harley can lobby for rule changes to suit their archaich junk to make them competitive.
they don't explain the nature of the disparity , other than flash pictures of bikes with suzuki on them
this is a bullshit protest imho
listen to me or i will eat you're bacon
wmrc #9
To put it simply, What the fuck is that?
You want parity, tell Harley, or whoever it is getting the pants beat off of them to build a better bike and spend more money...Or let the competitors all get on XYZ brand and be competitive.
Some more details would be helpful, and it would be much cooler if it wasn't drag racing.

Unidentified miscreants allegedly shot at a 40-year-old man after he, along with some residents of Noorwala village, entered a local government school to nab an alleged gang of robbers hiding there.
The bullet hit Tajinder Singh in the back and pierced through the right lung. He was rushed to Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), where his condition is stated to be out of danger.
According to locals, despite repeated complaints about robberies in the area, the police did not take any action, and consequently robberies had continued in the area.
Kanwaljit Singh, a resident of Noorwala village, said a gang had been active in the area for the past one week, and had committed several robberies.
He said on Wednesday night, they woke up to the sound of a gunshot, and realised that some miscreants were hiding in a local school. Meanwhile, many villagers got together and planned to enter the school to nab the troublemakers.
Kanwaljit said he entered the school with a torch, followed by his brother, Tajinder Singh, and other villagers. "As soon as we entered the school, we heard another gunshot and realised Tajinder had been hit. We rushed him to DMCH. Meanwhile, the miscreants managed to flee the spot taking advantage of the dark," Kanwaljit alleged.

Stephen Amell Cast as Green Arrow for CW's 'Arrow' Pilot
The CW seems to be moving along rather speedily on its potential live action Green Arrow TV series. According to Deadline, Canadian actor Stephen Amell has been cast as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow in the network's Arrow pilot, which is based on the DC Comics superhero. Director David Nutter (who also directed the Smallville pilot, as well as more recent episodes of Game of Thrones) will be helming the pilot, which seems solid enough conceptually: Spoiled rich kid gets stuck on island, learns archery to survive, comes home a changed dude and fights crime with his new skills and technology. The ambiguous "technology" term is a little concerning considering GA's use of a creepy voice modulator thing on Smallville. So far, however, no robots have officially been cast for a voice modulator role in Arrow.I don't know a ton about Amell aside from what's on his IMDB, but I do know there's a lot of shirtless images of the dude on the internet that prove he can do a mean set of crunches — like, probably the kind a billionaire playboy would learn while stranded on a jungle island for a few years? At any rate, his Twitter feed demonstrates he's got a pretty good sense of humor, so hopefully the pilot's script will let him make Ollie (at least partially) jolly.

Diversity Reports
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion is charged with coordinating a process to track, monitor, and report on a range of key indicators of campus diversity at HSU.
To respond to the changing needs on our campus, this year we will offer three Campus Diversity Updates—one in August, and one each in the Fall and Spring semesters.
The first Update provides context for HSU's diversity-related work in the year ahead. As have past reports, the Fall and Spring Updates analyze key indicators of equity and diversity. Their frequency and timing will allow us to report on the most current data. They will highlight areas for improvement, celebrate successes, and monitor progress toward the many related goals outlined in the new Strategic Plan.
As a supplement to the Updates, we have collaborated with Institutional Research and Planning to develop online data dashboards -- which will live on this page -- for understanding diversity-related data. Every three years, we plan to publish a longer report that offers an in-depth retrospective analysis and focus group feedback.

- I am seeking information on the family Gres of Lubisce. Known children are Michael (b. 1870), Susanna (b. 1875), and Andrew (b. 1883). Susanna married my g-uncle Josef Beganyi-Genscin in about 1896. I located Josef, Susanna, and Michael in the 1900 US census in Philadelphia. Andrew came to join them about mid-1900. But I lose track of all of them in subsequent censuses. Any descendents out there?

2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V General Discussion Discussion, Clunk from front driver side suspension in Cadillac CTS-V Series Forum - 2004 - 2007; I'm getting a small clunk from front drivers side. I usually hear it best when I'm going slow and over ...
Clunk from front driver side suspension
I'm getting a small clunk from front drivers side. I usually hear it best when I'm going slow and over small bumps. I had it on the lift just the other day to change all the fluids and I can see nothing wrong.
I checked all the hardware and everything is tight. I cant see anything that looks like it has been hitting or rubbing anything. Could it be a strut? Strut mount? Also sounds like I have a squeaky lower A arm bushing I need to fix.
I also have a very small coolant leak. I've had the radiator, waterpump, and the coolant bypass replaced. It looks like its coming down the driver side of the motor toward the front.
I can see the residue on the pan and some metal lines at the front of the pan but didn't feel like tearing the car apart to find it. Very very small leak too. Haven't added fluid for over 7 months but every once and a while you can smell it when you get out of the car.
Any suspect lines or hoses I should check first? I'll tear into it this weekend but would be nice to have a starting point.
I have never had so many problems from one car but I'm in love and I'm willing to make this relationship between man and machine work as long I have the money! lol

Re: Clunk from front driver side suspension
Probably the strut bearing as I have one that makes a rattling noise over bumps. It is also part of the upper control arm so it will not be cheap.
Re: Clunk from front driver side suspension
Fluid probably leaked out of the strut. Same thing happened to mine with identical symptoms to yours.
Re: Clunk from front driver side suspension
Thanks guys! Anybody else with similar problems?

Re: Clunk from front driver side suspension
I have a clunk that also sounds likes it is coming from the front driver side suspension. It only is around when it is cold. I took it to the dealership, but unfortunately it was warm out. The techs couldn't find a problem. Have to wait until it is cold out I guess. Only 500 miles left until warranty expires for me.
I also had low coolant. They replaced the radiator for the third time. The radiator only leaks when there is high pressure. I wash hoping its the radiator, but maybe I have another problem.
Re: Clunk from front driver side suspension
Yeah my coolant light came on today on the way home. About 7 months isn't bad I guess, for this car anyway. lol
I hope its only a loose hose clamp or something.

The Externally Focused Church
by Rick Rusaw
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Your church is not growing spiritually, if its members are not serving the people. Externally focused churches ask for a little from many people, not great things from a few. They partner with organizations that are already helping people in need. Learn how your church can be a partner with the whole community around it and with a little work from the many help the people with less than they have. Attract new believers and show them how to get involved with the community. Often new members may already have some contacts with the community that you do not know about. Help your members deepen their spiritual commitment through service. This book is well written. It tells you how to get started being an externally focused church and twelve ways that you can make your church grow by helping other people. All people are God's people. Preach the gospel of helping others and watch as they lead you to do the same.
[from back cover] How can your church get the attention of your community? It's all about focus. Externally focused churches do more than confront their communities--they cooperate as well. They're quick to partner with community agencies. Open to building new relationships. They flood their neighborhoods with practical compassion. And through it all they carry the love of Christ.
A committee at our church uses this book to inform its social service projects. It made us wonder whether our community would notice if we disappeared. So we're on a campaign to improve our partnership with the community.
The approach of the book is rather 'preachy'. The quaint analogies distract from the impact of the points being made. Too bad, because the points are generally valid. The church that serves outside its own walls enjoys numerous benefits, most notably in adding the punch of credibility to its proclamation of the gospel message.

New Delhi: Former IPL chairman Lalit Modi on Friday demanded that Chennai Super Kings' contract should be "cancelled" immediately and fresh auctions should be held in the wake of franchise owner Gurunath Meiyappan's name cropping up in the spot-fixing scandal.
"If a owner of an IPL team is engaged in betting, the contract clearly states that there is a suo moto right to cancel the agreement of the team and that should be done right away," he said.
"They (Chennai Super Kings) should not exist. There contract should be cancelled and new auctions should be held for the franchise," Modi told 'Times Now'.
Modi questioned BCCI president N Srinivasan's conflict of interest in the game and said that Meiyappan is very much an owner of the team unlike what Indian Cements, owner of CSK, claim.
"When I was IPL chairman passes were issued only after team owners gave us the names and after all documentation," he said. Former BCCI president A C Muttiah, who was the first to raise the issue of Srinivasan's conflict of interest, agreed with Modi on this issue.
"I have been repeatedly saying this but nobody took a stand. There is a clear conflict of interest and that's whu Srinivasan is not being able to take a strong action," he said.

A Surrey nursing home manager has been ordered to dish out thousands of dollars for discriminating against some immigrant workers.
Marissa Jurao and Belen Gardner filed a complaint with the BC Human Rights tribunal against Cherington Place supervisor Belinda Geldenhuys alleging discrimination on the basis of race and colour.
The workers said their manager made them feel demoralized, uncomfortable and scrutinized for their Filipino descent.
Alleged remarks included "Filipinos are gossipers and I don't know if this is a cultural thing."
The tribunal has ordered Geldenhuys to pay the women a combined $3500 in damages.

This is a bit silly so I will not be offended if you wish to poke fun.
Last time I was here on the forums there was a search box I could use to enter key words related to my problem; mostly, I was saved the trouble of writing a post all about my problem because someone, sometime had had the same trouble and it had been solved.
Today, I want to find out about a toolbar that piggy-backed onto my brother's PC when he installed the VLC media player.
I believe it is called "Unmoods". To be fair, he noted that he would be obliged to install the toolbar in order to have a working copy of the player and assumed (wrongly as it turns out) that he would have no trouble un-installing the toolbar later. Even Revo cannot get rid ofthe toolbar - it was still there after he removed the VLC software.
Any idea what can be done?
Also, to remind everyone of my original problem - where is the 'search box' for the Forums?? Have I lost it or is it no longer available?
It would be sad if I had to post every time I had a problem.
Thank you for your time and attention to my issue.

Our run defense has looked great the past couple of weeks but the Burner Turner is not Demarco Murray/Felix Jones, or Shon Green.
I really hope our D plays as physical as possible because Turner is a very strong runner, so our guys gonna have to make sure they make their tackles, stick to their lanes, and prioritize in shutting down their run game.
Before we can focus on ATL's potent passing game, we have to stop Turner.
It all starts w/ him. He's the key.

Ladies and Gentleman, in my ongoing quest to steer you to only the finest in film and televised entertainment, I present to you the single best television show currently airing – Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot".
Don't believe me? Well, don't just take my word for it. The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has just recognized the show by nominating it in FIVE categories for the non-primetime Emmys, including Outstanding Achievement in Sound and Editing, Outstanding Reality Programming, and Best New Series. Ever, I might add.
It's also been cited by numerous, national scientific and anthropologic publications, along with major newspapers for it's even handed research methodology, including recent articles in Scientific American and The Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Come inside and meet the team!
From left to right: Cliff Barackman, James "Bobo" Fay, Matt Moneymaker, and Ranae Holland.
Animal Planet's website explains that "The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) is a virtual community of scientists, journalists and specialists from diverse backgrounds engaged in projects, including field and laboratory investigations, designed to address various aspects of the bigfoot phenomenon."
Luckily for fans of tv, they've agreed for their scientific prusuits to be captured on film.
The BFRO is headed by Matt Moneymaker. Moneymaker is a man who is passionate and fervent in his belief in Sasquatch. I haven't seen him come across a piece of evidence yet he hasn't called "credible". He's accompanied by the similarly enthusiastic Cliff Barackman. But the real stars of the show are Bobo and Ranae.
Meet Bobo. He's 1/4 Bigfoot as it is. He stands at least 6'4″ and must weigh a good 300 pounds. His previous profession, prior to joining the BFRO was "Roadie". He claims to have seen Sasquatches, or 'Squatches as he calls them, not once, but several times.
His primary role, despite the above screencap, is "Bigfoot Stand In". He's constantly playing Bigfoot when the team recreates anything. For example. "So you say it took bigfoot two steps to cross that break between the trees?" Witness nods. Cut to Moneymaker talking to camera: "The witness says it took the Sasquatch two steps to cross between trees. We've sent Bobo down to see how many steps it takes him." This happens two or three times an episode.
It's awesome.
Invariably, Bobo fails in his task, which provides incontrovertible evidence that Bigfoot DOES exist.
Ranae Holland is the voice of reason on the team. She's the type of person who, if you show her a ham sandwich, she'll ask you if there's mustard on it. If you answer in the affirmative she'll tell you should be calling it a ham and mustard sandwich. She's always the voice of the skeptical viewer on the show, but the best part about it is the team outright ignores her logic!
If Ranae ever becomes crossing guard in your neighborhood? Walk your kids to school yourself, because no one's stopping at this lady's stop signs.
I could show the team a picture of my grandmother, claim it's bigfoot, and the team will work themselves into believing it. Ranae will be like, "Uh, guys? That's a picture of a 5'3″ old woman with curly grey hair" Moneymaker: "Bigfoot evidence as strong as this is hard to come by. We're lucky we found Dan and his Bigfoot Photo." Bobo: "It reminds me when I first saw a 'Squatch, it was using knitting needles just like that."
Is this picture proof of Bigfoot? You tell ME.
This is how your standard (ok, every) episode goes:
- The BRFO travels to an area where there's been a recent sighting.
- They hold a town hall meeting (always packed, they serve free beer) and ask for people who have seen bigfoot. 90% of the crowd will raise their hands. I would too.
- They interview the witnesses who claim to have spotted bigfoot. The team will then pick two or three of the most credible witnesses and investigate their stories.
- This typically involves sending Bobo to stand where the "Squatch" was seen in order to get a height comparison. Bobo stands in the spot and lifts his hand or a stick, asking the witness if the creature was taller, shorter etc. Surprisingly, I've yet to see a witness say, "Shorter".
- They assure the witness they believe them by saying things like "I believe you saw a bigfoot that night", and "It sounds to me as if you encountered a Sasquatch", or if it's Bobo, "Dude, you saw a 'Squatch, no doubt about it."
- The team concludes that since "A Bigfoot" was recently seen in this area, it's a good place to do night research.
- The team conducts night research by exploring the area at night with thermal vision cameras ("therms"). Anything they find COULD BE bigfoot.
- They also employ "Bigfoot Calls". Picture a hog farmer doing a Sooooo-eeee at the top of his lungs, except not making it sound like words. I particularly enjoy watching Moneymaker huff and puff before doing a "Call" to get himself ready.
- If any sounds are recorded or heard whatsoever, that is PROOF that Bigfoot is in the area. [nodding]
With Matt Moneymaker on the case, Bigfoot's hiding days are OVER.
I think that this team could find Bigfoot in my house. Here's how it would go:
Fogs: "Yeah, it freaked me out. I was getting up to get some water from the fridge and I looked down the hallway and there it was, crossing from the computer room to the bedroom. It was… huge. I was scared. I admit it. It was scary."
Bobo: "Oh yeah, man 'Squatches are scary stuff"
Moneymaker: "So the creature was right down there, then?"
Ranae: "Uh, guys… we're in a person's HOUSE."
Cliff: "It could definitely be a bigfoot, I mean, that's what it sounds like to me. How tall would you say it was?"
Fogs: "8, 9 feet easy. It had to bend way over to get through the doors"
Moneymaker: "Probably an adult MALE bigfoot you saw, then."
Ranae: "Guys, we are like two minutes from a shopping mall. There's a gas station around the corner from this street…"
Bobo: "Yeah, the males are definitely the bigger of the species. One time I saw a mated pair, and the male was WAAYY bigger."
Fogs: "It had this stench to it too. I mean, yeah, really foul."
Moneymaker, Bobo and Cliff all shoot intense looks back and forth.
Ranae: "Mr. Fogarty, do you even live within DRIVING distance of a wooded area?"
(Cut to Moneymaker speaking directly to the camera) "Mr. Fogarty claims he saw a Bigfoot in his home, walking between rooms. In order to get an idea of the size of the creature, we're going to send Bobo down to where he says he saw it and see if he can tell us just how large it was."
Bobo: "So, is this about where you saw it?"
Fogs: "Yeah, it was right there…"
Bobo: "Ok, you tell me, was it taller or shorter than this? (holding up his hand)"
Fogs: "Oh, definitely taller. Way bigger than that."
Ranae: "Do you use drugs, Mr Fogarty?"
Moneymaker: "I believe you saw a bigfoot, Mr Fogarty, there's nothing else it could have been"
Cliff: "Yeah, me too. It definitely sounds like a sasquatch to me."
That night, the BFRO would camp in my backyard with thermal imaging cameras and hyperbolic microphones. They would probably make Bigfoot calls as loud as they could in the middle of the night. If someone were to throw a rock at them, or if a branch broke due to the wind, or if a dog howled in the distance, they would take it as proof of my story.
Of course, that's only wishful thinking. I've never seen bigfoot.
But Bobo has. More than once. And Moneymaker and his team are on the case. I have no doubt that this crack team of experts is going to find the elusive legend and illuminate this mystery once and for all. They will be the toast of the scientific community, and I'm going to be saying…. I told you so. I knew it all along.

All Fracked Up
Fracking. You can't get within earshot of a major news outlet these days without hearing the word. Energy companies love it. Environmentalists hate it. And the rest of us are just trying to figure out what the heck it is and why we should care.
One thing's for sure: Fracking is the hot-button energy buzzword right now, and we are currently fracking the bejeezus out of America. According to the Wall Street Journal, over 15 million Americans now live within one mile of a fracking well, and that number is growing. But what does this mean?
Fracking is used to extract natural gas trapped in shale rock formations found as much as two miles below the Earth's surface. Companies drill down to the shale and inject a high-pressure mix of chemicals, sand, and water that fractures (hence "fracking") the rock and releases the gas inside for collection. But unfortunately it's not as simple as it sounds.
That injected fracking fluid, for example, contains hundreds of toxins from mercury and uranium to formaldehyde and benzene that are linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, developmental problems, and more. Some 360 billion gallons of this unholy gooze will be eventually forced into those wells currently drilled, and only 30-50% of that will be recaptured.
That's why we hear so much about fracking and water - it can ruin water supplies and every one of the half million wells that dot the landscape today will suck down up to 144 million gallons before it's closed. Add to that the air pollution fracking creates and earthquakes it causes, and it's clear you really don't want it in your neighborhood. So what can you do to prevent fracking where you live?
- First, check this list of communities that have banned it. You may be safe!
- If your community isn't on the list, you'll have to work with like-minded neighbors to institute a ban. Before starting, however, check this list of anti-fracking groups. There may already be one nearby.
- Start by inviting everyone to a home screening of Gasland, a recent documentary about the perils of fracking, which can serve as a rallying point
- Before the screening, download this useful guide from Food & Water Watch on how to pass a fracking ban where you live.
- Check out the Natural Resources Defense Council's Don't Get Fracked web site. Click the tab labeled "Your Rights" and learn how to stay abreast of new projects and what can be done. Food & Water Watch also offers a good set of activist tools.
- Get in touch with Americans Against Fracking. They're tracking local efforts around the country to ban the practice. Keep up with state-level initiatives at the National Conference of State Legislatures.
While fracking has been around for decades, new technologies now make it feasible in previously impossible places. That's why the fracking boom could be coming to your town even if it's never had any energy development before. And it's why we all need to get out in front of this issue before it becomes one where we live. Anything else would be a fracking shame.

Re: Whats For Supper?
Oliva, Jamie's Lasagne are well worth looking at. Hunter's lasagne rocks! Have not had Carbonara for a long time Larry Lamb showed a superb (very authentic) version, taught to him by an Italian Actor. I wonder if I will ever see that recipe again?
Previous nights supper was whiting at £6 a kilo, uber fresh cooked in egg and breadcrumbs, really nice.

Re: Whats For Supper?
@nGoose1 - for us it's got to be lactose free, gluten-free, grain-free and low-carb - Jamie's lasagne's are delicious (I used to make them before dietary restrictions kicked in), but they're not much good to me now But, I made a delicious sauce with lactose-free creme fraiche simmered with Lactofree cheese and a couple of egg yolks to thicken, and made "pasta" from pancakes made with eggs and tapioca flour, garlic, cheese, herbs and creme fraiche. It was surprisingly good, and pretty much hit the spot! Will be good for a very occasional treat!
Tonight we're having slow roast shoulder of lamb with roasted carrots and parnsips and garlicky spinach.
