Fantastic! When did Coach Harbaugh attend Paly? Did his brother go there, too? Assuming he played football at Paly, how did the team do when he was on it?

Did they take his poor behavior into consideration? I remember him back in the day - although older than me, he was a decent enough sort at the time - until he displayed his arrogance in memorable ways.

For what it's worth, I think I agree with you here: the only :important transforms prior to this were those involving running the compiler at runtime -- which is still a judgment call -- but also only in one subsystem (the alien FFI), so that people writing ordinary lisp code without any particular optimization settings don't get compiler notes. I think that's a reasonable default, and I don't see a 5x speedup for one operator being a desperately good reason to bother the user at default settings. (If it were something like "unless you fix this, you can't dump a compilerless core", or something similarly qualitatively different, then I think that would be a sufficiently good reason to notify the user at default settings, but not just for a speedup: after all, the user might in the end prefer space savings). (I should say that I'm not completely wild about having both the compiler macro and the transforms, at least in source form -- I don't mind how it's implemented under the hood if having both leads to a measureable speedup in compile time, but the duplication of logic (and ";; see comment in the compiler-macro" :-) suggest that the transform and the compiler macros should really be only implemented once in the source.) > not to mention those unused .ARG42. warnings coming from PCL. but i > should cut that out in antoher mail.

The switch will be justified if the acquisitions made in the past year deliver. It was too early to tell if the RBS assets purchased in Asia will justify the expense. As usual, Smith was not afraid to send some brickbats on the day of the results. He had a good shot at shadow treasurer
Smith is concerned that if the SGX takeover of
The results released yesterday by Smith showed a bank with momentum in its core Australian retail banking franchise. It has the highest customer satisfaction among the big four. The institutional bank lifted underlying profit by 23 per cent on the back of strong growth in income.
ANZ managed to lift its group net interest margin largely due to the repricing of its business loan book, a factor that will no doubt consume many hours at the upcoming Senate banking inquiry. The bank's net interest margin was 247 basis points at September 30, up from 231 basis points in 2009. The stronger than expected result was accompanied by a higher than expected final dividend of 74¢ a share, up 32 per cent on 2009.
However, costs grew faster than expenses, which is a function of the investment being made by Smith in establishing a bridgehead in Asia.
The results benefit from a big improvement in the total bad debt provisions charge, which fell from $1 billion in March to $722 million in September.
ANZ has one of the strongest capital positions of the big four, with a tier one ratio of 10.1 per cent. That means Smith is able to bid for Korea Exchange Bank, which is worth about $1 billion, in the knowledge that he will not have to make a huge capital raising.

However, the joint lead managers are believed to be getting a good response from international investors who are familiar with rail freight investments in the United States.
It is believed the JLMs have targeted a range of international investors including some well known hedge funds. International investors that have been approached include Capital, Jardine Fleming, Fidelity, Och-Ziff, Perry Capital, CQS, Trafalgar, Spinnaker and Broad Peak Investment Management.
The principal of Perry Capital, Richard Perry, is such a strong supporter of the stock that he travelled to Brisbane this week to speak to Fraser about the IPO.
Perry, who is an investor in US railway companies, is believed to be attracted to the QR National growth story that has been pushed by the company and the JLMs.
Growth projections for QR National that have been shown to potential investors show profits rising by 19 per cent per annum out to 2015.
The assumptions underpinning those forecasts, which are not included in the prospectus, include a return on capital of about 12 per cent being achieved by 2015 on an asset base of $11 billion.
The other attraction for Perry is the prospect of big cost-cutting at the QR National head office, which costs about $250 million a year to run.
According to one estimate, there is a company car for every two head office employees and the average salary at head office is $220,000. These employees, who are not union members, are likely to be the target of a cost- cutting campaign by chief executive
John Sevior and his team of equity fund managers at
This would be similar to the recent move by KKR in New York to hire a team of proprietary traders from Goldman Sachs, led by strategist Bob Howard, to manage an equities long/ short hedge fund using $500 million in KKR's internal capital.
KKR is expanding its public markets business beyond credit to cash in on the growing acceptance of alternative investments by major international investors, particularly sovereign wealth funds.
Sevior's investment style would suit a hedge fund. Most long-only equities managers adopt a "buy and hold" strategy and have a low turnover of stocks in their portfolios. Sevior is a very active trader of stocks. Annual reports for Perpetual's equity funds show turnover of equity portfolios of more than 100 per cent in one year.
However, the prospect of a more exciting future for Perpetual's fund managers under KKR's ownership may never come into the equation.
If Perpetual's board cannot come to an agreement with KKR about an offer that can be put to shareholders there will be no communication with Sevior and his team.

The stock market today opened lower amid tension in Ukraine and soft Chinese factory data, but has already pared a large chunk of its losses.
The S&P 500 fell 0.4% while the Nasdaq was off 0.3%. They were down by as much as 0.8% and 0.9%, respectively. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 0.5%, hurt by JPMorgan (JPM) and Pfizer (PFE). Volume was tracking lower across the board, especially on the Nasdaq.
In economic news, the ISM non-manufacturing index rose to a better-than-expected 55.2 in April from 53.1 in March — the best reading in six months. Economists had expected 54.2, according to Econoday.
Ambarella (AMBA) slumped 5% to its lowest levels in nearly five months. The stock sliced its 200-day moving average. It has never closed below that level since coming public in October of 2012.
Alliance Fiber Optic Products (AFOP) lost nearly 4%, erasing gains from the past two sessions. The stock had climbed in the past three weeks amid a volatile market, with the last two weekly gains coming in strong volume. Despite the pullback, Alliance Fiber is still about 9% past a 17.91 buy point from a double-bottom base.
Manitowoc (MTW) fell 2%, extending Friday's 10% dive. News of disappointing Q1 results from late Thursday hit the crane maker Friday, sending shares more than 8% below a 32.90 buy point from a flat base. But the stock may still be forming a base.
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) bucked market weakness. It rose nearly 1% after Raymond James upgraded shares to outperform from market perform and placed a price target at 560. Chipotle is stabilizing near its 200-day moving average after falling 24% from its March peak.

University, Federal & State Grants
Grant assistance is awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need, so not every student will receive a grant. Students do not need to work for or repay grants. Grants are commonly referred to as "gift aid."
Carnegie Mellon Undergraduate Grant
A Carnegie Mellon Undergraduate Grant is awarded by Carnegie Mellon to students who have financial need. Once you complete and submit the required financial aid forms for Carnegie Mellon: FAFSA, CSS PROFILE, signed copies of parent(s) and student 2014 Federal Income Tax Returns, IRS Tax Return Transcripts (if required), all parent W-2 Wage and Tax Statements, Partnership Schedule K-1 from Form 1065 (if required), and/or IRS Form 2555 (Foreign Earned Income) (if required), then you are considered for this grant.
If you or your parent(s) is required to file a Federal Income Tax Return in a country other than the United States, you must submit to College Board's IDOC service a copy of your foreign tax return(s) and provide tax information translated into U.S. dollars on a 2014 U.S. Federal Income Tax Return. This document must be signed by you or your parent(s) and a tax accountant.
Federal & State Grants
A Federal Pell Grant is awarded by the federal government to students with high financial need. The estimated maximum grant awarded for the 2015-2016 academic year is $5,775. If you are eligible for a Federal Pell Grant after your aid package is determined, a dollar-for-dollar reduction to your Carnegie Mellon need-based grant funds will occur.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
A Federal SEOG is for undergraduate students who have exceptional financial need. Carnegie Mellon usually awards these grants to students who receive a Federal Pell Grant. If there is a change in Federal SEOG eligibility, a dollar-for-dollar adjustment to the student's Carnegie Mellon need-based grant funds will occur.
State Grants
Some states provide educational grants to their residents who demonstrate need. If you are eligible for grant assistance from your state but you do not apply, Carnegie Mellon will not provide additional grant assistance to replace your lost state grant funds. If you're a Pennsylvania resident and you do not apply by May 1, 2015 for Pennsylvania State Grant assistance, we will reduce your eligibility for the Carnegie Mellon Undergraduate Grant by $500 if you would have been eligible for a PHEAA State Grant.
This is the amount of institutional grant assistance Carnegie Mellon would have received from the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) if you had applied on time.
If you are awarded a state grant after your financial aid package is determined, a dollar-for-dollar reduction to your Carnegie Mellon need-based grant funds will occur.

The Theology of Adam Smith - Part I
#businessforgood series
In part I of The Theology of Adam Smith, Professor Paul Oslington unravels the widely unknown theological underpinnings of the father of modern economics. Professor Oslington is author of Adam Smith as Theologian (2011) and is soon to release The Oxford Handbook of Christianity and Economics (2014).
It is well-known that Adam Smith constructed a system which comprised, not just economics, but history, jurisprudence and moral philosophy. In fact, he seemed more proud of his Theory of Moral Sentiments than his much more famous Wealth of Nations. But that Adam Smith was also a theologian has taken much longer to be appreciated.
Smith was born in Kirkaldy in 1723. He was brought up by his devout Presbyterian mother after the death of his father and, like most of his contemporaries, he attended church regularly throughout his life. His Scotland was dominated by the Presbyterian Kirk in a way that those of us living in contemporary secular societies find difficult to appreciate.
The young Smith left Glasgow in 1740 to be a Snell exhibitioner at University of Oxford, which entailed a commitment to take Anglican orders on his return to Scotland, though like many other exhibitioners he never did. In 1751, when taking up his Chair at the University of Glasgow, Smith signed the Calvinist Westminster Confession of Faith before the Glasgow Presbytery, satisfied the University of his orthodoxy, and took the Oath of Faith. Smith's scrupulousness in other similar matters suggests sincerity of this profession of orthodox Christian faith.
I would argue that there must be a presumption of a significant theological background to any work of moral philosophy or political economy produced in such a context. Such a presumption is confirmed by the abundance of theological language in Smith's published works. He regularly refers to "the Deity," "the author of nature," "the great Director of nature," "lawful superior," and so on. There are, moreover, repeated references to divine design and providence. For instance:
"Every part of nature, when attentively surveyed, equally demonstrates the providential care of its Author, and we admire the wisdom and goodness of God even in the weakness and folly of man."
"the happiness of mankind, as well as all other rational creatures, seems to have been the original purpose intended by the author of nature, when he brought them into existence … By acting according to the dictates of our moral faculties, we necessarily pursue the most effectual means for promoting the happiness of mankind, and may therefore be said, in some sense, to co-operate with the Deity, and to advance as far as in our power the plan of Providence."
And again:
"The idea of that divine Being, whose benevolence and wisdom have, from all eternity, contrived and conducted the immense machine of the universe, so as at all times to produce the greatest possible quantity of happiness, is certainly of all the objects of human contemplation by far the most sublime."
And, in relation to morality:
"the governing principles of human nature, the rules which they prescribe are to be regarded as the commands and laws of the Deity."
The presumption of a theological dimension to Smith's work is confirmed by the fact that Smith was read theologically by his contemporaries, including important figures in the formation of political economy as a discipline in nineteenth-century Britain.
For instance, Richard Whately, holder of the first chair in economics at a British university, interprets providentially Smith's assertion of unintended positive consequences of self interested behaviour: "Man is, in the same act, doing one thing by choice, for his own benefit, and another, undesignedly, under the care of Providence, for the service of the community." Whately also places Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations above William Paley's works as natural theology.
Among nineteenth-century British popularisers of political economy none was more influential than Thomas Chalmers. Chalmers also took Smith to be suggesting that the transformation of self-interested behaviour into the greatest economic good is providential:
"Such a result which at the same time not a single agent in this vast and complicated system of trade contemplates or cares for, each caring only for himself - strongly bespeaks a higher Agent, by whose transcendental wisdom it is, that all is made to conspire so harmoniously, and to terminate so beneficially."
"The whole science of political economy is full of these exquisite adaptions to the wants and comforts of human life, which bespeak the skill of a master-hand, in the adjustment of its laws, and the working of its profoundly constructed mechanism."
Theological readings of Smith abound among the nineteenth-century pioneers of political economy as a discipline, and even more so in popular discussions of political economy.
Stoicism or Calvinism?
Much of the discussion of the theological language in Adam Smith's works has connected it to Smith's interest in Stoicism. For instance Raphael and Macfie's introduction to the bicentennial edition of Theory of Moral Sentiments states:
"Stoic philosophy is the primary influence on Smith's ethical thought. It also fundamentally affects his economic theory … Adam Smith's ethics and natural theology are predominantly Stoic."
As evidence, they point to the importance of self-preservation in Smith, the importance of self-command as a virtue, Smith's commitment to a harmonious natural order and his universalism.
We know that Smith read and admired the Stoics in his youth, and that Stoic ideas were popular among Scottish Enlightenment thinkers searching for a framework to replace a degenerate Aristotelianism. In his discussion of systems of philosophy in Part VII of Theory of Moral Sentiments, Smith devotes more space to the Stoics than any other system, but he also criticises many key Stoic ideas. He ultimately concludes: "The plan and system which Nature has sketched out for our conduct, seems to be altogether different from that of the Stoical philosophy."
But in my view, more important than Stoicism to Smith's theology is the British tradition of scientific natural theology, filtered through the moderate Calvinism of the Scottish Enlightenment. Smith held the Chair in moral philosophy at the University of Glasgow in the 1750s, and followed the tradition of his predecessors Gershom Carmichael and Frances Hutcheson in lecturing on natural theology. One student, John Millar, reported:
"His course of lectures … was delivered in four parts. The first contained Natural Theology; in which he considered the proofs of the being and attributes of God, and those principles of the mind on which religion is founded."
These Glasgow lectures were the foundation of Smith's system, with the second part on moral philosophy becoming Theory of Moral Sentiments, and the final part being developed into the Wealth of Nations. Unfortunately we do not have manuscript evidence or even student notes which might indicate the content of the natural theology lectures. It is therefore difficult to assess the accuracy of the anecdote of John Ramsay (who did not attend the lectures), that Smith's
"speculations upon natural religion, though not extended to any great length, were no less flattering to human pride and than of Hutcheson. From both the one and the other presumptuous striplings took upon themselves to draw an unwarranted conclusion - namely, that the great truths of theology, together with the duties which man owes of God and his neighbours, may be discovered by the light of nature without any special revelation."
The quotations above from Smith's published work may be our best guide, and are only a few of many examples of the language and thought forms of the British tradition of scientific natural theology. My best guess about the content of his natural theology lectures is that they would be a Newtonian version of his predecessor's lectures, consistent with Smith's known admiration for Newton's scientific methodology and his concern to avoid unnecessary theological controversy.
Calvinism has been inexplicably neglected as a background to Adam Smith's work, despite the fact that Smith fits almost perfectly the picture of moderate Scottish Enlightenment Calvinism. Take the sketch provided by David Fergusson:
"The role of God as creator and sustainer of the world is emphasised. The signs of the divine presence are evident in the natural world; in this respect, the design argument is widely assumed to be valid. The beneficial role of religion in civil society is stressed. Religion contributes to social order and harmony. When purged of irrational fanaticism and intolerance, faith exercises a cohesive function through the moral direction and focus it offers human life. As benevolent and wise, God has ordered the world so that its moral and scientific laws contribute to human welfare. The prospect of an eschatological state in which virtue and felicity coincide, moreover, provides further moral motivation."
The normative statement for Scottish Presbyterians in Smith's day was the Westminster Confession of Faith, which Smith signed to take up his Glasgow Chair. The opening sentence states that "the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men inexcusable." There is the important caveat "that knowledge of God, and of His will, which is necessary unto salvation" cannot come from nature, reflecting the Calvinist emphasis on how our sensory and moral capacities are limited and twisted by the Fall. Smith takes up this Calvinist theme, writing of "irregularity in the human breast" just before the previously cited passage about how
"every part of nature, when attentively surveyed, equally demonstrates the providential care of its Author, and we may admire the wisdom and goodness of God even in the weakness and folly of man."
Elsewhere vices and follies of mankind are seen as a necessary part of the plan of the universe. Ignorance of "all the connexions and dependencies of things" conditions our action, though we are comforted by the thought that God, the "benevolent and all-wise Being can admit into the system of his government, no partial evil which is not necessary for the universal good."

Planets Birthday Cake
I made this cake for my son's 6th birthday. It includes all the Planets (and Pluto and the earth's moon) in order of their proximity to the sun. Starts with Pluto (the tiny dot on the far right and goes to all the way to Mercury. And of course the Sun is on top. This was a chocolate mousse cake iced with black buttercream. All accents done with fondant.

Date of Stay: May, 2011
What a fabulous and convenient campground! If you are visiting Mesa Verde National Park, this campground is very close to the entrance. You drive 15 miles to get to the Visitor Center in the park, so it is great having "home base" this close. The campground only opened for the season a few days before we arrived and they worked like busy bees getting everything just perfect. And it showed. They have new tile bathrooms with big stall showers - best we have seen at any campground. The laundry room is big and clean, too, with good sized washing machines. We loved the owners and their staff, who gave us good advice about checking out Absolute Bakery in Mancos. Perfect for breakfast. We extended our stay here, as the internet worked smoothly and our site #1 looked out Mesa Verde, wonderful for evening views. Don't miss staying here!
Date of Stay: May, 2011
We stayed here based on the good RV Park reviews, but I was somewhat disappointed. Most of what had been said was true, as a lot of attention has gone into the office and amenities. I felt like they have forgotten about maintaining their campsites. The wind was wild, which was not their fault, but the dirt gravel near the campsite's eating area, blew grit everywhere. The picnic table's paint was peeling badly and one end of the bench was rotten. Landscape timbers that mark the campsites were rotting and not sure why they ever painted them, as the paint was semi-worn off and looked shabby. Our view from our campsite was that of a factory across the street. The camp has had the KOA Presidential Award for the past five years and I wonder what the criteria is for receiving this award. We have been on the road for two months and this is my least favorite campground of the whole trip.

Mar 20, 2014 - The Associated PressJACKSON -- A National Elk Refuge biologist says the number of elk deaths on the refuge appears to be unusually low as springtime draws near.
Refuge biologist Eric Cole says 30 elk have been found dead this winter for a mortality rate less than one-third the long-term average.
He says more elk are likely to die and more dead elk will likely be discovered. Still, Cole expects elk mortality this winter to be below average.
Cole says wolves have killed five elk so far this winter. Other elk have died from disease, although Cole says he hasn't seen any major disease outbreaks on the refuge this winter.
Biologists counted 8,300 elk on the refuge this winter, up 30 percent from last winter.

An Immigrant Desiring to Enter the United States Legally from Mexico and its Administrative Process
For very many years now there have been issues arising from people wanting to immigrate, relocate and/or move to the United States in order to look for greener pastures. Discussions have reigned for a very long time from the senate to the congress on the right process in which people can move to the US. The debate has sometimes become so heated especially when it comes to illegal immigrants entering the United States through its borders, President Obama in November 2014 signed an Executive Order to increase border patrol personnel in addition to offering an opportunity for current illegal immigrants to come out of the shadows. The cases of illegal immigration is primarily focused on the southern border of the US and Mexico. Due to the economic nature and environment in Mexico, many people find themselves without a job and living in an impoverished hopeless situation. This has prompted many of the Mexicans and Latin American people to try and find their way into the US.
There are several ways in which the Mexicans can find their way into the US through legal means and not having to risk their lives utilizing dangerous and often very expensive illegal means. Perhaps the most obvious and legal ways is through the US green card lottery. This is a system that was developed by the US government to help assist people from other parts of the world especially the third world countries to relocate to the US permanently where they are given citizenship and will enjoy all the privileges of a citizen of the US. The lottery is done every year and usually closes in the month of December. This is one of the best avenues in which the Mexicans can try their luck in obtaining access into the US. Once someone is selected, the process is very easy for them. In fact the embassy will assist to facilitate all the paperwork and documentation needed. What remains then is for someone to select the state in which they would like to stay. The embassy can also assist to facilitate them in obtaining a job for the legal immigrant depending on their qualifications.
One can also use the avenue of a job to relocate to the US. By applying and searching for a job in the US one can land a good one which will in turn assist someone to get an invitation to the US. The United States culture is one of the hardest working in the world. If someone is qualified the state would not hesitate to invite them. The company that someone is going to work in can also facilitate for the paperwork for the employee. All one needs in their possession to legally work in the US is what is known as a work permit which is provided by the government. This is a legal document that proves someone has the right to work in the US. The process of getting this paperwork is not hard especially if you are a qualified highly skilled professional.
One can also get an invitation from a friend or a relative. Using this method is typically very hard to get a work permit, it is a sure way in which an immigrant can get to move to the US legally. The visa will definitely be that of a tourist but whichever the case the immigrant will still be in the US legally. It is quite risky for someone to be found in the US without the correct paper work and therefore they risk getting deported back to their country. Illegal immigrants also risk being blacklisted.
Call the Law Offices of Steven R. Young at 844-886-0888 for a free consultation, get your questions answered and start your process to enter the United States.

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Other Ready Meals "
Jambalaya is a rice-based dish from the Southern States of the USA, that as I understand it, originated as a means of bringing together a variety of 'left-overs' such as odds and ends of already-cooked meats, poultry and sea-food as well as fresh vegetables into a single dish. From this not-terribly-auspicious beginning it has rightly become a famous and delicious classic. Properly prepared Jambalaya cooks very slowly, almost like a risotto, so that the rice absorbs various fats, flavours and spices from the vegetables and meats with which it is cooked. The end result is a semi-soupy, robustly-spiced rice dish with huge amounts of interest in it.
Sad to say, Tesco own-brand Jambalaya is nothing at all like what this dish should be like. The own-brand stuff costs £3 for 450g, which is a suggested portion for two people. It is 33% rice, and does also contain chicken, smoked bacon, chorizo sausage, king prawn and a whole host of herbs, spices and other flavourings - I counted 15 odd flavouring ingredients listed on the packet, ranging from such mundane constituents as parsley and garlic, to the more esoteric ingredients, for example hickory smoke flavour and paprika extract . Almost all of these diverse ingredients have been completely wasted in the end product however, because what you get with Tesco Jambalaya is pretty much exactly like a bowl of cooked rice that's had a tin of Italian chopped plum tomatoes dumped over it. Hot, salty, plum tomatoes are all you can taste in the finished dish; even the rice is reduced to a textural ingredient only. I saw no sign of the 8% chorizo sausage that purportedly went into the Tesco Jambalaya; presumably it had disintegrated. There was the odd chunk of cooked chicken (12%), and I found occasional shrunken king prawns while I was eating it though these tasted of nothing at all: while the prawns were obvious on the surface of the rice before the Jambalaya went in the microwave, after cooking they sort of submerged and lost most of their mass so that afterwards they were barely even noticeable in the finished dish.
The only good thing about the Jambalaya was that it cooked in the circular black plastic dish that it came in very conveniently in the microwave in four to six minutes straight out of the fridge (two minutes on high heat, stir, another two minutes blasting with microwaves and then two minutes to stand before serving). And as I ate what I could eat of it directly out of the bowl it came in, there was no washing up - apart from the spoon I used to stir / eat it with - afterwards either.
There are 650 calories per packet, so somewhat over 300 calories per serving. The product is moderately high in fat (with 6g per 100g) and salt. You would be well advised to spend your £3 on almost anything else.

Good hair can make women look younger: Cindy Crawford
But, she said that women turn to cosmetic procedures too quickly, as there are other things, which can keep people looking sprightly and are easier to maintain. "People always talk about having plastic surgery and Botox, but I think the right hair colour, more than anything else, is what helps to keep a woman looking youthful," stuff.co.nz quoted her as saying.
"I use Schwarzkopf's home hair kit Essential Color. A good tip is to take pictures of your hair in different lighting to figure out whether your colour looks natural. I also like to have a variety of tones in my hair to give it extra dimension, so it looks bright, not flat," she added.
The 44-year-old model is careful about the way she cares for her locks, because she hates it when they don't look healthy. She lets her tresses dry naturally, and keeps her style simple. However, for a special occasion Cindy will whip out the curlers to give her hair some body.


text: This legend began in 1972 when the Chancery opened on Highway 20 in Racine. The plan then was to treat everyone like best friends while serving up fresh burgers, beer, sandwiches, salads, cocktails, and "you're in Wisconsin so ya gotta have the fish fry". Times have changed and so have we but fresh has always been our way of life. We would love to welcome you to any of our 10 Southeast Wisconsin restaurants where you'll find fresh, local ingredients that are "better for you". You'll also find that our favorite pass time is still treating our guests like family by serving up fresh flavors the way they love it which has kept them coming back for more than 40 years.

Fasteners to support vine on block wall?
What kind of fasteners would you use to attach wire or trellis to a block wall, to support a bougainvillea vine? I use tapcon for concrete, but that seems like overkill for a block wall. Is there a simpler fastener you guys use for block wall?
overkill?you drill a hole and drive a screw..i don't understand
It's just going to hold up some wires or light wood frame for the bougainvillea. Also I heard cinder block is a lot weaker than concrete.
Put some plastic or lead anchors in the joints.
Enjoy the display of flowers for years. :thumbsup:

Catching up with James Varner
The man behind the Northwest's craziest races
By Yitka Winn
Photo by Glenn Tachiyama
You'd be hard-pressed to find a trail runner in the Pacific Northwest who doesn't know, or at least know about, James Varner.
The 33-year-old fireball of energy can be found at the dozen races he directs each year under the name Rainshadow Running, usually clad in plaid flannel, bleary-eyed from lack of sleep, but never without a grin on his face. His races include classics like the Cle Elum Ridge 25K/50K and Sun Mountain 50M/50K/25K/1K, as well as a slew of new races for 2011 including the Columbia Gorge Waterfalls 50K.
Varner, having shed his last "real job" in 2008, divides his time between three drool-worthy gigs: directing races, running with GPS to create maps for Green Trails Maps, and leading running vacations for Minnesota-based Adventure Running Company.
A Maryland native, Varner grew up playing in the woods and ran cross-country in high school. While through-hiking the Appalachian Trail in his 20s, he crossed paths with David Horton, a man who'd run the entire AT, and let Varner in on a life-changing secret: trail races existed for grown-ups, too.
After getting his feet wet with trail races in Maryland, Varner relocated to the Pacific Northwest and began co-race-directing with John Pearch, a self-described "ultra junkie" responsible for several races in Capitol Forest near Olympia.
In 2008, Varner moved to the Methow Valley with a vision for a new way to contribute to the running community.
"I felt like there was a need for a different kind of race, for races that were challenging and really showcased the most beautiful parts of the Northwest," Varner says. "I wanted to find places to put on races that were a little more extreme than what people were used to."
Varner's philosophy is to plan races like parties for good friends. There's bound to be great food, a few kegs, and in cases like his well-loved Orcas Island 50K/25K run, campouts, barbecues, live music, and accompanying trail work parties.
"The most rewarding part is standing at the finish line," Varner says, "and having people hug me or curse at me or just collapse into a chair."
Varner races are notorious for inspiring such cursing with their adrenaline-charged climbs and quad-trashing descents. As Seattle trail runner Laura Houston says: "James's races are hardly ever flat, and though his course-marking skills are improving, you may stand a chance at getting in a few 'bonus miles.' "
Varner is not without a sense of humor. While volunteering years ago at the Cascade Crest 100, he dressed in a grass skirt and wore a sports bra full of gels for runners to grab as they came through the aid station.
Does he still find time for himself to go running? Of course. This year, he's deriving steady motivation to train from having snagged a coveted spot in Colorado's Hardrock 100 Miler, entry into which has to be determined by lottery.
"I would give up running all other races if it meant I could do this one every year," he says. "I want to be selfish and not tell anyone about it, but that's not the spirit of the race, and it's not my style either."
We like his style – and given the rate at which his races are selling out, we're not alone. If you're interested in trying a Varner race, visit www.rainshadowrunning.com for a full menu.

Nice work Yitka! James' life and work definitely deserves to be read about! See ya on the trails.
So true!! I love James' races!! Didn't know about the gels stuffed in a sports bra at an aid station – love it . . . excellent way to keep runners motivated and entertained! =)
Ah, there is nothing like a James Varner race! Why do I always end the race with a curse, rather than a hug!? Curious! I never learn, do I? Keep up the great work James, the world of trail running would be so much more boring without you!
James' efforts and outcomes are a true testament to what can be accomplished by a dedicated and sharp individual who loves the culture they're in. He's building one of the best scenes in the world for trail running and we can strongly support his leadership by participating in one of his epic adventures. Snagging registration is a hot ticket due to the beauty and fun of the events, yet volunteers are always welcome! See you out there rock on, James. Good luck at Hardrock 100.

Times-Herald staff report
A few hours before the downtown Vallejo Wine Walk, about 40 members of the Victorian Alliance of San Francisco will get a glimpse of another part of the city -- its historical neighborhoods.
Tour organizer Frank Malifrando said the group is full of members who love Victorian houses and want to get a better look at Vallejo's store of such structures.
"We got 40 people really wanting to see the homes. We think this is a good start in Vallejo. Then they are going to join forces with us," said Malifrando, who stages the annual Mad Hatter Holiday Festival in the downtown area.
Ideally, the San Francisco group will join forces with the Mad Hatter Festival organizers to help stage and promote the annual holiday festivities, Malifrando said. A major element of the Vallejo activity is the Mad Hatter Holiday Festival's Grand Home Tours.
Merle Easton, Victorian Alliance of San Francisco president, has checked out Vallejo's numerous historic residential treasures over the last year, Malifrando said.
After touring five Victorian homes in Vallejo, plus the Julia Morgan house on Capitol Street, the group will have lunch in the courtyard of Brandon Riley's Victorian home at 721 Georgia St. They will then walk around to see other Gothic and Victorian homes in the area.
The group will then be asked to take part in the Downtown Vallejo Wine Walk, 6-9 p.m. on Georgia Street.
Proceeds from the $20 tickets for this event will be used to help put up tree lights in the downtown.
Tickets go on sale the night of the event at Menard's Indian Alley Antiques store at 412 Georgia St.

Coffee , water and beer all good
Coffee , water and beer all good
Johnny Walker Black Label, or beer.
Also black coffee goes well with Grov. Yum yum yum yum yum.
Scotch and Grov strong is nice! I also like my Grov with a beer or a white beer with Onyx.
Otherwise it's coffee with Grov or tea with General or Skruf...
It's only now that I realize I drink lots of stuff on Grov but somehow I can't put a finger on what I do with other Portions I use...must be water I guess hehe
Coffee and Odens Cold White Dry put me on cloud 9 every morning. I swear I was practically jumping out of bed to start my morning ritual.
Now I just enjoy something from the Swedish Match line like mint or GR and some black tea. I hate alcohol and snus mixed. Hell I find snusing even when buzzed isn't even that great, at least not while drinking with a portion in. Ruins my beer and snus
I'm currently enjoying a General OP with a Stone xocoveza.
Olde Ving Fudge, Islay Whisky Portions or any "original" flavored snus is good with a black roasted coffee in the morning or a black tea.
But the rest of the day, I always carry my 1.5 liter of water with me. I can't match something else properly with Oden Extreme Spearmint White Portions and Epok Enbar.
And sincerly, coke cherry with skruf stark portion wasn't really a do again for me.
I can only drink together snus and good coffee
I usually drink water with snus, but if around me there is some different drink I try as many mixes as I can, they often are awsome!
There is one big exception for now: Islay Whisky Portion is used absolutely with water, it's too difficult to find for me and having no a quality Whisky to pair I try to taste it at max...
Happy snusing!
Tonight alcohol infused ginger beer with Los, was quite enjoyable even though my wallet got pillaged at the check out, damn 5£ for 4 small bottles, it was nice night still.
Bourbon.....but then again I drink bourbon with everything
Last edited by Snusdog; 01-11-2017 at 09:38 AM.
When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers
Good news i say, ginger beer i had yeserday was lovely, do you get any decent ales other there
Last edited by psychicferret; 01-11-2017 at 08:45 PM. Reason: Typos galore
My first Snus of the day is always mint, Thunder Frosted Longer plus(R I P) at the mo until my roll runs out, with a black coffee.
With Bergamont portion Snus it`s plain water, altho lemon and lime flavoured water goes really well with it i find.
And with Los (any flavour) i usually put in a prilla after a coffee, i find that it mud slides WAY more if i drink a hot drink while i`ve got a prilla in.
Ahh to be fair what most people drink here is larger, kronninberg fosters etc, their is some good ciders here though including swedish ones which are nice rekordelig for one and kopperberg. Strawberry and lime cider cant beat it

They've both made several questionable fashion choices over the years, but it appears that Mena Suvari and Tara Reid are finally getting it right on the red carpet.
While promoting American Reunion, the fourth theatrical film in the American Pie franchise, in London Monday the actresses got glammed up in sophisticated black gowns.
PHOTOS: '90s stars, then and now
Suvari chose a sheer draped design with lace detailing in the front and back (which showed off her large neck tattoo) and wore her hair in a pretty updo.
VIDEO: See Mena's bizarre Oscar dress
Reid, who suffered a major nip slip in 2005, continued her toned-down style streak in a simple one-shoulder look, tight bun and minimal makeup.

Earlier in the day they posed for pics on a bus alongside costar Jennifer Coolidge (a.k.a. "Stifler's Mom").

I have managed to connect to my ipod touch using cyberduck... what I can't seem to figure out is where to add my vcards so that the mobile address book recognizes it and reads them. YES, I already tried adding them to the the addressbook folder - /var/root/Library/AddressBook - it does not work. I added a contact directly to my itouch to see if i could see the vcard file (using cyberduck) in the AddressBook folder... and it's simply not there. so then... does anyone know where itouch keeps it's vcard files? any help would be greatly appreciated.

"C4D needs to embrace the world of technology infrastructure"
Politically, the World Congress on Communication for Development that is presently unrolling in beautiful Rome might not seem to be the most relevant event. No gender perspective to report on, little debate on the value of telecom infrastructure, almost no inclusion of information and communication technology for development on the agenda. In one seminar, APC nevertheless felt like going political.
BBC panel on media left audience laughing and out of breath
In a packed plenary room of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in Rome this week, the BBC's World Service Trust organised a world debate, hosted by BBC World star moderator Stephen Sackur. "Is a Free Media Essential for Development?" was the question asked. Trigger-happy panellists did not loose a second to get in debating mode.
World congress on communication for development shopping for an identity
The very first World Congress on Communication for Developement got underway on October 25 in Rome. In the course of the WCCD, we will be able to measure if the participants will be able to give 'communication for development' a clear focus and genuine identity. With the diversity of voices in the audience though, one might scratch one's head, doubting about the feasibility of this objective. APCNews is on the ground and offers an introduction here.
INTERNET GOVERNANCE FORUM: Seminar calls for unity among poor nations
A single country will not be allowed to govern the internet, speakers at a national seminar vowed adding expectation of the poor countries should be addressed in the upcoming Internet Governance Forum (IGF) meet. The seminar took place in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on October 14.

INTERNET GOVERNANCE FORUM: APC puts up the fight for an open access, equal opportunity and educative internet
APC is viewing the inaugural meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) – which and will be held in Athens from October 30 to November 2 – as a "vitally important event". "For the first time in a global policy forum, governments, civil society, the private sector and international organisations can address public policy issues concerning the internet on an equal footing," said APC's policy programme head Willie Currie.
Brand new Filipino free software coalition to push for "nation of creators"
A consortium of socially-aware free and open source software advocates was launched on Software Freedom Day, September 16 2006, at the University of the Philippines. Commonly referred to as BUKAS (new open formation), it consists of seventeen organisations, which share the view that FOSS has become a political imperative in light of the actual Filipino "intellectual property" regime. "Information technology should make us not just a nation of users but a nation of creators. This can be done much better with Linux," a founding member declared at the launch.
BETINHO PRIZE SPECIAL: Communication technologies, weapons against war in Colombia
In the midst of an armed conflict, organising an audiovisual communication workshop for youth does not tend to be a priority for groups working in the area. Nevertheless, for the International Peace Observatory (IPO), a Colombian organisation that was a finalist for the Betinho prize in 2005, it is essential that small farmer communities – who are the first victims of the war – be able to tell their stories. APCNews spoke to Laura Lorenzi, president of the IPO, about how new technologies can become arms in the struggle against the war.
Colnodo: A commitment to the social use of ICTs
For Colnodo, APC member in Colombia, its commitment to the "strategic use of the internet for development" takes a variety of forms: from work with the government in the policy realm, to training for women, and resource exchange with community media. APCNews spoke to Olga Paz, administrative and projects coordinator, about various Colnodo activist campaigns for the democratisation of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The encounter took place in London at the ICT policy portals meeting organised by APC in late June.
NEW POLICY ISSUE PAPER: Lowering the costs of international bandwidth in Africa
This paper was commissioned by the APC as part of the Catalysing Access to ICTs in Africa initiative and to contribute to APC's efforts to promote open access to ICT infrastructure in Africa. According to the author, Mike Jensen, a variety of factors is responsible for the lack of acess to bandwith in Africa, but the biggest cause is the high cost of international connections to the global telecommunication backbones (PDF format).
NEW POLICY ISSUE PAPER: The importance of convergence in the ICT policy environment
This paper, by Kate Wild, was commissioned by the APC as part of the Catalysing Access to ICTs in Africa (CATIA) initiative. It looks at the meaning and importance of convergence and considers some of the challenges to implementing it, along with strategies for overcoming them. It also provides a global perspective on regulating convergence and broadband from ITU and then looks at experiences in North America and Europe as well as regional and country approaches in Africa (PDF format).
PROJECT MANAGEMENT TRAINING: Working in triangles to get projects moving
From September 3-8, APC people descended on Pruhonice, a small town just outside Prague for the annual board and management meeting. While the first focused on APC governance issues, the management part of the meeting got under way with a warm-up training. Rob Purdie from iMPORTANT PROJECTS joined the APC folk from as far as Cambodia, the USA and South Africa for two very specific reasons: tp explain the different project management concepts out there, and apply some of them to APC's reality.
SOCIAL WATCH REPORT: Call it 'digital divideS', major study suggests
Unequal access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) has generated new inequalities, according to Social Watch -a coalition of 400 non-governmental organisations present in 60 countries. This year's report, the eleventh edition, finds there is an urgent need to reform the current international financial structure to fulfil national and international commitments to eradicate poverty and promote gender equity.
LAUNCH OF APC'S ANNUAL REPORT 2005: APC keeps campaigning, sees tangled wires in the ICT world
2005 will be the year the Association for Progressive Communications remembers most for the World Summit on the Information Summit. But, says the just released Annual Report 2005, that event – which culminated in Tunis in November of 2005 – was like a struggle to finding the forest among the trees. Read about the issues APC grappled with and the key highlights from our worldwide membership in the downloadable report, available in English and Spanish.
Burma technology skills training workshop
"Enhance the information and communication technology (ICT) skills of self-taught Burmese techies, that's what we're here for," explained APC WNSP staff member Cheekay Cinco. Cinco was one of very few women trainers present in northern Thailand's Chiang Mai for the Burma technology skills training workshop that was held at the end of August.
Drupal usability report made available
Web Networks' report on the usability of the content management system Drupal is now available on drupal.org. APC Canadian member Web Network has developed this detailed and professional report with the support of APC's ActionKit project. Says, the report summary: "the overall conclusion of this report is that the tools Drupal provides to accomplish the most common administrative tasks associated with managing a website are all usable."
Africa must have a say in the IGF, protest from citizens in open letter
In an open letter sent to Markus Kummer, coordinator of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), on Otober 3 2006, African civil society organisations working on communication regulation clearly stated their commitment to contribute to the trailblazing Athens IGF encounter to be held later in October. The coalition, also known as ACSIS, recalled its fundamental principles in favour of a development-oriented internet governance arrangement, in which African citizens and those from "least developed countries" would explicitly have a say. "Even though remote participation, when adequate facilities are provided for it, can have some effectiveness, it is limited and does not replace physical presence," the letter insist, thereby demanding guarantees of inclusion for a variety of actors in the first IGF meeting. [ACSIS website momentarily unavailable]
Turning points in the DRC for APC-member Alternatives
Only just emerging from a civil war, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has for many years proved difficult for development initiatives to work in. This is especially the case when dealing with ICTs, which many people do not consider a developmental imperative. But as the Canadian-based APC member Alternatives has found, it is possible to get a foothold in difficult terrain.
'Now we have made a noise' says APC's Ugandan member WOUGNET
The goal of The Women of Uganda Network (WOUGNET) is to promote the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) by women's organisations in Uganda. Set up in 2000, APC member WOUGNET has been a lead actor in bringing a gender focus to ICT policy in Uganda, open source software and the World Summit on the Information Society. Read the interview with WOUGNET's director and the organisation's ICT programme manager.
IT-powered civil protest turns polluting gold-miners away
In an unprecedented act of civil and internet activism, the villagers of a small mountain village in Bulgaria succeeded to prevent an environmentally devastating gold mining project. Despite the pressure from the corporation, the federal authorities and the police, the local community was victorious: the Canadian Martern company pulled-out at the end of the summer 2006.

The death of Robin Williams brought tears to my eyes as I watched these scenes from Dead Poets Society showing him playing the English teacher, John Keating. He inspires his students through his teaching of poetry. "No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world," he says.
Yes, Keating was right. It is poetry, love and romance that lift our lives.
Next, with the boys gathered around him, he says: "We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
Yes, we want love and romance; a life without passion is only half a life.
Is poetry indispensable too? Maybe not Shakespeare's sonnets, the odes of Keats, the lyrics of Wordsworth – lovers of English literature have not cornered the market on happiness – but who has never loved a love song? And what is song but poetry?
Terribly dashing and romantic, here in this video he then throws another challenge to his students: "O Captain, my Captain. Who knows where that comes from? Anybody? Not a clue? It's from a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Now in this class you can either call me Mr. Keating, or if you're slightly more daring, 'O Captain my Captain."
(Read the full poem, O Captain! My Captain at the bottom of this post.)
Young and impressionable, the boys, of course, are wowed. Who wouldn't, by so much charisma?
Williams had it in spades – or he wouldn't have been a star – and he was irresistible as Keating.
The film had such a profound influence that the BBC News website ran a story following his death about "The real teachers inspired by Dead Poets Society."
I myself saw tweets from English teachers inspired by the movie.

What the teachers didn't mention was their own experience in the classroom, if they could be as unorthodox, as passionate, in their teaching. Dead Poets Society played like a dream when it first hit the screens in 1989 — but education has become more hard-nosed since then. Educators and students alike are more concerned with results and payoffs.
Humanities has taken a beating. Language, especially. "At Yale, English was the most popular major in 1972-73. It did not make the top five in 2012-13,"said a recent article in the New York Times.
The writer of the article, David Lehman, a poet, lamented: "Technology has routed the humanities. Everyone wants the latest app, the best device, the slickest new gadget."
Poetry does not render very well on computer screens, he noted: "The Internet is hell on lining, spacing, italics; line breaks and indentation are often obscured in electronic transmission. The integrity of the poetic line can be a serious casualty."
"Still, it is fruitless to quarrel with the actuality of change," he added.
Besides, there's always hope.
The poet drew consolation with the words: "One thing you can count on is that people will keep writing as they adjust from one medium to another, analogue to digital, paper to screen."
Yes, people will write. The medium may change, but words and ideas will continue to flow. And, as Robin Williams as Keating said, "words and ideas can change the world".
The Hollywood screenwriter who put those words in his mouth was right. But it was the genius of Williams that made them memorable because he spoke with such conviction, such charisma.
Thank heavens for the stars that light up our world – and the poetry and passion that make life eloquent.
O Captain! My Captain!
By Walt Whitman
O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up–for you the flag is flung–for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths–for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

Mumbai, Jan. 24: Maharashtra's police bosses are routinely coming up with brainwaves to "protect women" ' and then hastily withdrawing them after they have caused a public uproar.
On Thursday, it was Mumbai police commissioner Satyapal Singh's turn to try his hand at the job. First, a circular asked all deputy commissioners to crack down on couples hanging out in isolated spots.
"This", the circular said, is "a preventive measure to ensure that girls are not victimised by miscreants who are usually present in these areas".
A police spokesperson told reporters that the couples would first be asked to leave. If they don't, they would be arrested under the Bombay Police Act of 1951, which is replete with fulminations against "indecent" conduct, "public nuisance" and like transgressions.
Within hours, as reporters and netizens began asking why the possible victims of gender crimes should themselves be at the receiving end of the law, Singh apparently received a call from the chief minister's office.
By early evening, a police statement said the circular had been withdrawn and, "instead, the police will increase patrolling at the isolated spots to protect women".
The germ of Singh's idea was apparently born 10 days ago.
"Maharashtra had emerged as the state with the lowest conviction rate in crimes against women. The Union law minister was due to visit Mumbai on January 23 to address the matter with the chief minister," a top police source told The Telegraph.
"Pressure was building and the police needed to put forward a plan so they could be seen as a proactive force. The idea of the circular emerged at a meeting of the police brass, presided over by Singh, on January 14."
The circular stated that "in the backdrop of the Delhi rape incident, if something happened in Mumbai, residents would start feeling insecure and it will lead to dharna, andolan and morcha, which will create a law-and-order situation".
Earlier, on December 20, K.P. Raghuvanshi, onetime head of Mumbai police's anti-terrorist squad and current boss of Thane police, had come up with his own idea to make women feel safe. "Women should not travel at night," he suggested.
Sure enough, Thane police's anti-harassment squad, the Ched-chad Virodhi Pathak, went into an overdrive booking young, unmarried couples out on the streets after dark for "causing public nuisance".
Last month, police in the Kalyan-Dombivli area of Greater Mumbai too began stopping couples and lecturing them on the benefits of staying indoors at night. Over 90 people ' mostly couples ' were fined Rs 1,200 each. It stopped after a public outcry.
Pulled up by the government, Raghuvanshi did a turnaround on January 17 and announced an inquiry to fix responsibility on cops for wrongful enforcement of laws and promised a workshop on gender sensitisation for the force's rank and file.

Stock dividend information is crucial to investors of all strategies. The stock market hasn't returned a single red cent in over twelve years as measured by the S&P 500. Twelve years is a long time to go without earning a return on your investment, particularly if you are close to retirement. But investors who have relied on high yield dividend stocks and ETFs have at least been rewarded with the payouts from their portfolios via quarterly disbursements.
With the boom years of the 1980s and 1990s now a distant memory, it is not shocking to see investors losing faith in the cult of capital gains and gravitating instead to dividend-paying stocks and ETFs. In a world in which paper gains can be ephemeral, it's good to be paid in cold, hard cash.
Today, we have our choice of a host of dividend focused ETFs — so many, in fact, that it can be daunting to choose. Though all claim dividends as the central piece of their investment mandate, there are significant differences between strategies that investors should understand. In this article, I'm going to pick apart some of those differences.
Dividend ETFs – Three Strategies
There are already well over a dozen dividend ETFs that focus on the U.S. market, and I included the most popular in the chartbelow. Each can be grouped into one of three major categories:
- High dividend yield
- High dividend growth rate
- Dividend weighting
The first category is what most investors immediately think of when they hear "dividend investing." The primary focus is on high current income with capital gains as a distant second. This is good, old-fashioned "widows and orphans" investing and is the most conservative of the three strategies.
The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend ETF (NYSE: DVY) is the oldest dividend-focused ETF and is the only one to follow a pure high-yield strategy. The fund represents America's top stocks by dividend yield, selected annually. To weed out those at risk of cutting their dividend, companies must have a positive five-year dividend per share growth rate and a dividend payout ratio of no more than 60% of earnings. The stocks that qualify are then ranked by dividend yield and the top 100 are selected.
The result is a solid ETF that currently yields more than the 10-year Treasury with an expense ratio and turnover that are tolerably low.
The second category is based less on dividend yield and more on the growth rate of dividends. READ ON FOR MORE DIVIDEND ETFS …

Ihave 235-35-19 Conticontact 5P on RSe14 wheels an d did not have to touch anything to make it work. Not a single scratch on the tires... But I did not go for lower coilovers... yet !
I do not think it will make much of a difference as long as I don't slam it.
Diggin this out of the waaay backyard.
Havent updated much as I havent done any more mods. Took it to some shows though. I have plans for something in the works that nobody with a Golf R has done yet in the US. Will post up when I begin the mock up.
Lots more pics in my flickr.

when are we going to the dyno?????
I thought black R would look pretty dull and boring. I was completely wrong after seeing your R.
Well looky what we have here...
So I'm pulling the trigger on those wheels very soon. Black R's unite
But seriously, it gets better and better. I plan on getting yellow caliper brembos in the near future so I hope they clear the 709s

The parts have started rolling in.
Got some "cheapo" pads to mock things up until I decide what pads I really want to run.
It REALLY hurt paying $70 for these bolts/washers/nuts but time is money and I didnt have to source anything, just click the button and it shows up at my door.
Should I keep one of these colors or do something new?
Keep them red.
Red would look great on your color.
Currently Between Fun Cars
People keep saying red which would go with the red taillights on the car and is classy/classic OEM+ Porsche style. But I've been thinking about doing a little throwback to the days of old and doing R32 blue? Is that not cool because its not an R32? I feel like R32 blue will be pretty bada** looking but still understated, classy and VW OEM+ style.
If I did upgraded calipers I'd do yellow because it'd look badass with the Rising Blue. For your color I would do red or blue, yeah. Blue would be fine.
Currently Between Fun Cars
More brake updates. Stoptech stainless lines showed up today. They are MKIV R32 front lines. They bolt directly to the Brembo calipers with no other hardware necessary. Tonight or tomorrow I should be able to get one of these calipers mocked up so I can check for rotor fitment, wheel clearance etc. I'm getting super excited now!
MKV and MKVI ends are a hoop and require a banjo bolt setup to go into the caliper. MKIV R32 cable ends are a 45 degree elbow with a threaded floating nut as seen below. I prefer this style, less parts is better.
Proof the lines bolt right up to the caliper.
I would be digging Blue for those calipers...Just saying
Kinda regretting selling mine now....

On Sunday's Good Morning America, anchors Dan Harris and Bianna Golodryga defended Bristol Palin as they plugged a report on a man suing Bristol for including in her reality show a clip of herself confronting him as he berated her mother, Sarah Palin.
After playing a clip of the exchange which took place in a bar, Harris observed:
Here's the deal, though. He says she's ruined his life. But he started the fight.
Golodryga added:
That's right. She was defending her mom. I can't blame her.
