Graphic Design and Playing Cards
One of the most versatile items ever invented is the playing card. The number of decks sold each year is staggering; the US Playing Card company alone sells more than 100 million decks to individuals per year and another 20 million decks to casinos. The number of games played with standard playing cards is impressive as well. Pagat, one of the largest collections of card game rules on the internet, lists more than 1,200 games, not including solitaire and newly invented, but not well known, games.May 29, 2015

Leeds Festival 2017
25th August - 27th August 2017
Festival Guide
About Leeds Festival, Bramham Park
In 1999, the Reading Festival extended to Leeds. With its Northern counterpart Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival attracting over 90,000 music fans the dual-site event continues to grow from strength to strength.
In 2008, the festival organisers parted with their main sponsor Carling and the festival reverted back to the name of "Leeds Festival".
The line up for Leeds Festival is typically announced in March with more bands revealed throughout the summer leading up to the event. However, in a break from the norm the organisers have recently started to reveal some bands before Christmas.
In 2017, the Main Stage headliners will be Muse and Kasabian.
Tickets for Leeds Festival 2017 are available through Ticketmaster and See Tickets.

text: Encourage building renovation projects combining living comfort and environmental performance is the aim of the Saint-Gobain Multi-Comfort program. Renovating with Saint-Gobain Responsible commitment Saint-Gobain is committing to sustainable renovation by adapting its Multi-Comfort program to the renovation segment in order to comply with energy performance, health, accessibility and acoustic comfort challenges along with environmental protection. To renovate sustainably is to reduce a building's environmental impact for the remainder of its life cycle. This means using materials that have a low environmental impact and managing site waste intelligently. Comfort: the Multi-Comfort renovation challenge The Multi-Comfort renovation program places the same value on comfort as its new construction equivalent. It complies with the program's five areas of comfort: Thermal comfort: from heat loss to energy performance. To comply with environmental requirements, Saint-Gobain materials must reduce energy loss by improving insulation, using renewable energies and lessening the "cold wall" effect by installing efficient glazing. Health comfort: live in a healthy house. The quality of two thirds of the air we breathe depends on the quality of the air in our homes. To ensure optimum comfort and to protect our health, Saint-Gobain is committed to improving indoor air quality. The use of active materials, insulation and efficient airtightness combined with effective ventilation will guarantee healthy air. Acoustic comfort: silence under control. Here, Saint-Gobain takes up the challenge of efficient acoustic insulation and correction. Modular comfort: accessibility for everyone. Buildings must take account of the long term and anticipate changing life cycles and styles. It must be accessible for everyone by taking into account all types of disabilities with a focus on access and user comfort. Visual comfort: recognition. The combination of Saint-Gobain solutions and maximizing the use of natural light improves visual comfort in homes. A new approach to renovation Anticipate environmental requirements "The idea is to completely recreate a real living space with user comfort at the center of concerns and demonstrate that renovation in single and multi-unit dwellings is possible" Maurice Manceau, Director Habitat France Energy performance is at the heart of Saint-Gobain's concerns. To take this a step further, the Group has now committed to the Multi-Comfort renovation market by adapting its single and multi-unit housing program. It has taken a stance on the sustainable renovation market by guaranteeing a response to current and future energy performance labels and making its five areas of comfort accessible to the greatest number of homeowners. Showcasing the Group's commitment, Multi-Comfort renovation is the symbol of "responsible habitat." To renovate is to create healthy buildings Accessible renovation in Vienna (Austria). Glassolutions, Rigips, Weber and ISOVER renovated an apartment in Vienna for less than 10,000 euros based on the Multi-Comfort model. By bringing all its solutions under the umbrella of its Multi-Confort program, Saint-Gobain is demonstrating clearly and tangibly that it is possible to significantly improve the performance of buildings using solutions that are simple to install and readily available on the market. In this way, the program encourages the creation of more stringent building standards and the faster adoption of high value added solutions by all stakeholders in the building and public works industry. Saint-Gobain renovates existing buildings using products and solutions the performance of which has been observed and measured under actual conditions. These buildings are testimony to Saint-Gobain's unrivalled ability to optimize building stock renovation projects through its many known and trusted commercial brands. The benefits of Multi-Comfort.

Consultation & Recovery - Laser
Consulation and Evaluation
First you will:
- Discuss your specific goals with Dr. Swier
- Evaluate whether these goals are realistic
- Have a physical exam
- Learn the likely outcomes and potential risks of the procedure
- Get a course of treatment recommended by Dr. Swier
- Ask questions and get answers to help you understand the process
Be sure to:
- Openly share your expectations
- Disclose your complete health history, current medications, and use of vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs as they may interfere with or alter the treatment
- Commit to precisely follow all of Dr. Swier's instructions
Any vessels and blood denatured by the laser will be reabsorbed by your body over a period of time in a natural cleansing process. Capillaries may become inflamed at first and later will become invisible. Your skin will be sensitive to ultraviolet light and you must avoid direct sun exposure. Many of the conditions treated by the laser will have been caused by sun exposure, so avoiding the sun will prolong your youthful appearance. It's important to follow Dr. Swier's directions after treatment and to use skin products he recommends. You will be told to avoid exercising, hot spicy foods, hot baths, saunas and hot tubs for two weeks as they may cause the treated veins to reopen.

Ray Dalio (born August 8, 1949) is an American investor, hedge fund manager and philanthropist.[3] Dalio is the founder of investment firm Bridgewater Associates, one of the world's largest hedge funds.[4]
In 2012, Dalio appeared on the annual Time 100 list of the 100 most influential people in the world.[5] In 2011 and 2012 he was listed by Bloomberg Markets as one of the 50 Most Influential people. Institutional Investor's Alpha ranked him No. 2 on their 2012 Rich List.[6][7] Dalio has a fortune of $15.9 billion, making him the 30th richest person in America[8] and the 69th richest person in the world.[9]
Early life and education[edit]
Dalio was born in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York, United States.[10] The son of a jazz musician, Dalio began investing at age 12. At this young age he bought shares of Northeast Airlines for $300 and tripled his investment after the airline merged with another company.[1] Dalio received a bachelor's degree in finance from Long Island University (CW Post) and an MBA from Harvard Business School.[1]
Investment career[edit]
After completing his education, Dalio worked on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and invested in commodity futures.[1] He later worked as the Director of Commodities at Dominick & Dominick LLC.[11] In 1974, he became a futures trader and broker at Shearson Hayden Stone.[1] In 1975, he founded, out of his apartment,[12] the Westport, Connecticut based investment management firm, Bridgewater Associates which in 2012 became the largest hedge fund in the world, as it is today, with over $160 billion in assets under management, as of October 2014.[1]
Dalio has said that he could continue improving his returns by solidifying recurring lessons into "principles."[12]
Personal life[edit]
Dalio is the only child of Italian American parents. He resides with his wife in Greenwich, Connecticut, and is known to practice the Transcendental Meditation technique.[1][13][14]
Political and economic views[edit]
In 2007, he predicted the global financial crisis,[15] and in 2008 published an essay, "How the Economic Machine Works; A Template for Understanding What is Happening Now",[16] which explained his model for the economic crisis.
In 2011, he self-published a 123-page volume called Principles, which outlined his logic and personal philosophy for investments and corporate management based on a lifetime of observation, analysis and practical application through his hedge fund.[17][18][19]
In 2013, Dalio began sharing his "investment secrets" and economic theories on YouTube via a 30-minute animated video which he narrates, called How The Economic Machine Works; the video has since been viewed over 3.8 million times,[20] and has been translated and made available in Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, German, Italian and French.[21]
Wealth and philanthropy[edit]
In 2014, Dalio was listed as the wealthiest person in the state of Connecticut, with an estimated net worth of $14.3 billion.[22] According to Forbes Magazine, Dalio has a net worth of $15.9 billion, as of February 2017.[23]
In April 2011, together with his wife Barbara, Dalio joined Bill Gates and Warren Buffett's Giving Pledge, vowing to donate more than half his fortune to charitable causes within his lifetime.[24]

"I sort of felt that as long as I didn't take the test it didn't have to be real." Mark Dendy is twirling a white-wrapped straw in his fingers, as though it were a cigarette. His dirty blond hair has been recently sheared from long curly locks to the buzz he now sports, but even at this length the curls are straining for control of his features. "But I knew. In 1988, I had a lover die from AIDS and I knew that I had often had unprotected anally receptive sex with him, and so I knew. But as long as I didn't take the test it didn't have to be real."
It is hard to imagine that this mild-mannered, soft-spoken, slight man is the controversial choreographer/director whose innovative dance/theater pieces leave audiences spellbound. Then, as he speaks, as he tells of his choices in life and health care, the imagination comes into focus.
At 33, Dendy has received three NEA grants. His work is some of the most promising the dance world has seen in recent years, yet Dendy remains obscured from the mainstream. "I work in a lot of disciplines," explains Dendy. "The modern dance world and the ballet world have been very separate. They were sort of married in the '70s, and the marriage is starting to be consummated, but they remain at odds stylistically. They are different camps with different artists. I am fortunate enough to work in both arenas. And then theater is a different world still. It's like I am maintaining several different careers."
This year Dendy has been in high demand. He spent the spring in Hartford, Connecticut, where he choreographed Tony Kushner's The Dybbuk, returning to New York long enough to stage a new dance piece and premiere a new one-act play. Then he jetted to Paris to revive his Classic Stage Company turn as Amanda Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie. This summer he was one of the artists in residence at the American Dance Festival, before running off to Seattle to stage a new production of Cinderella for the Pacific Northwest Ballet.
His one-person show (for which he ditches dance) Busride To Heaven has received acclaim from coast to coast. In Busride, Dendy brings us four very different characters with one thing in common: Very recent death. They are each filling out questionnaires about the lives they just led while awaiting a cloud to take them on to their final destinations. Busride hit the road this fall with tour dates in Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison and Miami.
An earlier work, Back Beat, takes a hard, fast look at AIDS and the anger associated with the loss it brings. "I did it first in 1991, and it was actually about me. It's really funny because it was the one place where my denial didn't hold. If it did, it's only in that I directed the piece, so someone else was up there being me. Also, the character went to a doctor. I didn't do that. For me, Back Beat was a way to do the things that I was supposed to do, to have them be real, without them having to be real. What is really funny is that most of the dance world, and even most of the company, thought that I was coming out, that this was my story and that it was all real. I didn't actually test until three years later and I still don't have a doctor."
Avoiding doctors is a conscious choice for Dendy. "I don't want anyone arguing with me about my protocol. I don't trust Western medicine. I am taking a holistic approach. I read a lot and I know a lot. I do a lot of meditation. I think that is very important, hooking into that universal power, that thing in the universe which is healing my body. I exercise. And another really important part of my protocol is not what I take, but what I don't take. No alcohol. No recreational drugs. No sugar. No caffeine. No city water -- always seltzer for me."
But it's not always no. "I have to admit I can still be a closet smoker, like after sex or something. I'm a Jackie O smoker. I never do it in public." And addressing AIDS publicly is no longer a substitute for fully dealing with it privately. "I have other moments. Like I had a steak au poivre in Paris which, even though I had diarrhea for two days, was totally worth it." Putting it on stage couldn't make that any more real.

U.S. women's beach volleyball teams
The U.S. has two women's beach volleyball teams left in the competition. Will legendary duo Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor face compatriots April Ross and Jennifer Kessy in the gold medal match?
Wade Peppard: It is a sad day when you can impeach a President based on guesses, innuendo, no solid facts, and most of all when the media does not like you. Any other President of any party in the future take note and be warned. It seems we have a forth branch to government not part of the checks and balances that can use false statements, doctored pictures, partial sentences, and then cry "freedom of the press" to protect itself. That is a lot of power. Joseph Goebbels, look him up, was right and our media has learned the lesson well "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself. The bigger the better"

As they�have done since the 2004 TV season began in February, US imports continued to dominate Melbourne's ratings last week, with CSI, CSI: Miami, Friends, Malcolm in the Middle, Without a Trace and Survivor: All Stars dominating the week's top 10.
Channel Nine's weekend news bulletins, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and Channel Ten's coverage of the Australian formula one Grand Prix at Albert Park were the only local representatives on the list.
In a considerable switch from viewing trends last year, no Australian drama series or lifestyle program made the top 10.
The most-watched lifestyle show was Nine's Getaway, which was the week's 14th top show. The top-rating Australian drama, McLeod's Daughters, on Nine, came 15th.
Last year, Australian-made programs dominated the weekly top 10 and top 20, but last week only 10 of the top 20 were locally made.
The trend away from local drama and lifestyle was even more pronounced in the
national ratings, where 11 of the top 20 shows were imports. Shows such as
Location, Location (23rd), The Great Outdoors (26th), All
Saints (34th), Blue Heelers (39th), Australia's Funniest Home
Video Show (64th) and Better Homes & Gardens (83rd) have
slipped down the list this year. Australia's Funniest Home Video Show
in particular was a frequent top-20 show in 2003.
Most of the top imports, however, were on Nine, which, not surprisingly, won the national and Melbourne ratings last week.
In Melbourne, Nine finished the week with 31.2 per cent of night-time viewers. Ten was second on 24.4, followed by the struggling Seven (22.8), the ABC (17.7) and SBS (3.9). Nine also dominated the key 16-to-39 and 25-to 54 age groups.
Among the most notable results last week was the score recorded by Ten for its telecast of the grand prix at Albert Park.
Despite being described by many as a procession and as the most uninteresting grand prix ever held here, the race averaged 642,569 viewers in Melbourne over almost two hours, and 1.54 million nationally.
By comparison, Saturday night's considerably more exciting AFL Wizard Cup grand final, also on Ten, between St. Kilda and Geelong averaged only 397,839 in Melbourne and 656,711 nationally.
Also of interest was the debut performance of the new series of the British crime drama Silent Witness, on the ABC on Friday.
It won its timeslot with 469,466 viewers, was the 11th most-watched show in Melbourne all week and was the ABC's most popular program.
Among "reality" shows, Survivor: All Stars on Nine was the clear winner with 491,102 viewers.
Next came The Simple Life (355,058), the final of Average Joe (344,282), My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance (339,713), My Restaurant Rules (272,630), The HotHouse (175,362) and The Resort (153,334).
The latter two shows, both locally produced, continue to be ratings disasters for Ten.
SBS's top show last week, with 463,595 viewers nationally and 149,223 in Melbourne, was the Monday night screening of the recent Oscar winner, the Melbourne-made animated short film Harvie Krumpet.

Fatal collision blocks southbound Interstate 5 in Redding
REDDING, Calif. - The southbound lanes of Interstate 5 in Redding were backed up for miles, after a fatal collision blocked traffic Sunday.
The collision happened around 11:30 a.m. in the southbound lanes, near the Cypress Avenue exit.
According to the CHP, a big rig hauling lumber drifted onto the shoulder. In an attempt to get back in the lane, the driver of the truck, 72-year-old Gordon Johnston, lost control.
That's when it collided with a motorcycle. The motorcyclist, 60-year-old David Terry from Red Bluff, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The big rig overturned, spilling its load of lumber across the southbound lanes. The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital.
A second motorcyclist, 64-year-old Dennis Bagshaw, was also suffered minor injuries in the accident.
Cars were able to pass through the area on the shoulder of the road, but the southbound lanes were backed up for miles. Northbound traffic also slowed as drivers passed the wreckage.

Tendence: Eight Centuries of Introductions
Weapons are no longer sold at Tendence, but sometimes provide inspiration (here from MTM Gifts).
While talking to Nicolette Naumann, vice president of Messe Frankfurt, about her expectations for this year's Tendence show--I was curious about how long Tendence has been in existence.
After a quick calculation in her head, she said, "772 years."
Wow! As in, almost eight centuries? I expect European buildings and other architecture to be hundreds of years old; I never heard of a trade show that old.
Naumann explained that the German emperor at the time, who oversaw Italy, Austria and part of Spain, wanted merchants to come to Frankfurt to sell their high-end goods, such as silk, fur, weapons, embroidered fabric and such. To encourage them to attend, he gave "exhibitors" two privileges: they wouldn't be taxed on the goods they were bringing in (which is still true today, Naumann said) and they would travel under personal protection of the emperor.
The exhibitors traveled to Frankfurt by caravan, and then would rent out shops and parts of City Hall to display their wares during the two-week-long trade show. Because of the large amounts of money being exchanged, merchants and buyers had to have a way to swap money safely, which led to the Frankfurt's renowned banking system. Documents from that time talk about people complaining about the noise and the "women of ill repute" during the show, she added.
Its age makes Tendence the longest continually running trade show in the world, Naumann said. That's a lot of product over the years.--Andrea Lillo

Should I try to rekindle my friendship with her?
This topic contains 10 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by JulieBaxter 2 years, 2 months ago.
November 8, 2012 at 11:20 pm #69984
My former best friend and I had a falling out after knowing each other 15 years. The friendship faded gradually at first, but then our relationship dropped off dramatically. My friend had always been a drama queen type, and she had been going through a lot with her ex boyfriend (who was a cheat and used her for money and a place to deal drugs) right before this happened. I felt that I was there for her, maybe even a little too much, since she became very needy, even calling several times one day when I was at work, until I answered the phone.
When they broke up, she really lost it and couldn't let go, to the point of her getting into some legal trouble over contacting him and threatening him and his new girlfriend. I could understand what she was going through, but she took it to an extreme.
Well, I ended up getting into some trouble of my own and lost my driver's license for nearly a year. It made it very difficult for me to get around, but I did not feel like she was there for me. She complained that we didn't hang out anymore, but did she offer to come pick me up? NO. Add to this I was very embarrassed about what had happened (I got a DUI/OWI) and was depressed about it. She thought I was blaming her for what had happened (we were together the night I got arrested), but never did I blame her. It was not her fault. It was my fault for driving. I stopped drinking (and still do not), and that was also a strain, since she still drinks.
My feelings on this have softened a lot, and she's repeatedly said she wants to be back in my life. I'm not sure I can trust her, though. She has been manipulative and selfish in the past, and I'm not ready to deal with drama. She seems to be in a stable relationship with a decent guy now, though, so that is a good start. Do I rekindle this or should I just let it be? We have a lot of good times in the past, but also a lot of hurt and hard feelings, too.
November 12, 2012 at 5:38 pm #70417
It depends on what you mean by "rekindle." Your post doesn't explain why, specifically, you had a falling out. You mention that you got a DUI while out with her, but then claim that you didn't blame her for it. A piece of the puzzle is missing. I don't understand what happened.
But to answer your specific question, it doesn't sound seem as though you like this woman. Regardless of the circumstances that caused your falling out, you don't speak of this former friend with love. It's like you would only tolerate her if you rekindled your relationship. Why bother? Don't you deserve friends you like? Doesn't she deserve a friend who likes her?
That being said, if you run in the same circles, then yes, it might be a lot easier to be on better terms with her. Only you know the situation and whether or not it's worth it to try to make up. But if you do, I doubt you'll ever be close again. Your question reeks of contempt towards her.
November 12, 2012 at 10:37 pm #70443
I do like her at times, but at other times, she can be insensitive and self centered. She can be an incredibly fun person. We've shared a lot of good times over the years as well, and there are many times I really wish it could go back to the way it was, but that is not possible. In order for that to happen, we'd need a time machine. We're both very different than when we first met. Some ways for the better, and other ways for the worse. I got married and for the most part, settled down, and she's still single, but generally in committed relationships. The guy I mentioned in my original post was possibly the worst guy for her and just a bad guy in general. Frankly, I got tired of her complaining about his bad behavior and asking me to bail her out of situations that got too tense. Only after a lot of soul searching did I realize that I've been doing this for YEARS. She tends to pick the "bad boys" over suitable, hard working men, and then complains when they don't measure up.
I only mention that I don't blame her for my DUI because she asked me if I blamed her (she was not with me when I was arrested – I was alone). I know she felt guilty for letting me drive, but she was drunk as well, so it was the blind leading the blind. Of course I don't. She asked me to come out with her, and I drank too much. I drove home (stupidly), and got pulled over. It was probably the best possible outcome for me because it made me reevaluate what I was doing and what I needed to change. To invite someone who can't drive because she got a DUI out to a bar is insensitive in my opinion, and that's part of the problem that eventually drove us completely apart. It's also insensitive to expect someone who can't drive to be at your beck and call hanging out. I had no way of getting around, yet she was complaining that we weren't getting together. To add insult to injury, when we first met, she had no license despite being 28 yrs old, and I spent the first two years driving her around wherever we went! I was happy to do it because we were having fun. It hurt that she didn't return the favor, yet was calling me her "best friend".
I wouldn't mind being friendly with her or even good friends once again after a level of trust has been built up. It's awkward to wonder if she'll be at an event I'm planning to attend. I don't live in a small town, but we're into a lot of the same things, so it's understandable. We're still friends on Facebook as well, so she will post that she misses me every so often. I've tried to see if she wants to go for a coffee or something casual, but then she doesn't respond, so I'm not sure if she wants to be friends anymore, or if she similarly fells guilty about the end of our relationship.
I've cried many tears over this, so while it may sound like I'm being mean or hateful about things in the past, I remember that this is someone I spent some of my happiest moments with, and it hurts that it's no longer the same.
November 13, 2012 at 10:08 pm #70549
First of all, cancankant, congratulations on having stopped the drinking, and learning from your mistakes.
You are remembering what WAS, wishing you had a time machine to go back; some of your happiest moments were shared with her. But she is no longer that person. Like all of us, we change, evolve, and grow, sometimes in different directions.
November 14, 2012 at 11:25 pm #70788
I realized after we stopped doing nothing but clubbing and the like that she and I really didn't have that much in common. All we had was going out. She can be an incredibly fun person until she hits a point where she becomes obnoxious. This happens whether alcohol is involved or not (more when it is, though), so I can't blame the booze.
I found it extremely difficult to be around ANYONE for a long time after I got arrested. Of course, since she knew about my arrest, and I was embarrassed. She didn't judge me, but there was a slight bit of "I told you so" in her voice when she found out. I guess that's fair enough, but it was a little like the pot calling the kettle black.
I'd been making excuses for her loud, obnoxious behavior for years, and after I helped her through her terrible breakup with her boyfriend, I'd really had enough. I was going through problems of my own, and I had little patience to sit through hours of "Why did he leave me for that @#!%*(~@?". I was over and done with the drama.
Anon said my post reeks of contempt. It's not contempt. It's a sadness that the friend I used to have such a good time with turned into a bitter mid-forties woman who did a whole bunch of not so nice things to her really not nice boyfriend (should have NEVER been with this guy in the first place — he was a manipulative person the whole time, but she would not listen). I didn't feel sorry for him, but I did feel sorry for her. She had lost so much self respect that she couldn't even see how crazy she'd become.
She says she misses me, and it's like a siren's call. I guess that's why I think that maybe we could have some sort of relationship, but I know in my heart that there's really no point. I am not the first friend she's lost in recent years. She seems to be in a better place, but since she doesn't air her dirty laundry on Facebook, I don't know that for sure. I do hope she's well and has found some happiness. She definitely DIDN'T deserve the bad relationship with her ex boyfriend (and many others that preceded him). She deserves to be happy.
November 15, 2012 at 6:05 am #70830
Again, you are remembering what WAS, and that is why it affects you when your ex-friend claims she misses you. This could be a way to manipulate you back to her.
Your instincts are telling you there is no point to re-start this. You have tried before and nothing has changed.
YOU deserve to be happy too.

I'm not sure :/
February 27, 2015 at 3:07 pm #149799
More than 20 years ago, I was going thru a divorce. I confided in one girlfriend all the details as she went thru a divorce so I thought she would understand. Found out that she and her daughter had told my story to a lot of people within the company I worked for. No one in my company ever knew that I was going thru a divorce.
I had applied for a management promotion (I had just got my BS in Bus. Management) and was told I was not management material. My mentor at work told me that I was not going to get the job as everyone knew I was going thru a divorce & I was too emotional. He told me where he heard my story (it was her). I called her and really yelled at her to stop spreading my life to everyone and that I lost a job promotion due to this. I then hung up the phone pissed.
I recently thought that I would contact her as she was a good friend and I liked her. When I did contact her, I did sincerely apologize that I hurt her. I really did listen to her without any interruptions. I then tried to have her remember what she contributed to the situation and all she talked about was how hurt she was and how I yelled at her. I was taken back and tried to tell her my story but all she talked about was her journey of how badly I hurt her and the difficult time she had to get over this.
At the time of our fight, I could've ruined her husband's career by telling everyone in the company that he was an alcoholic, loved watching porn & his sexual weirdness. I wanted to hurt her but I didn't do that. I was so angry and why was that? I had to move to a different part of the company that I didn't want to work in but I needed a job – it was not my career path.
I am trying to make amends for the bad thing I did but I don't feel that I am being heard. I am a pillar to the community, do a lot of community work, dog rescue, have a wonderful job, great husband and friends. I am a pretty happy and content person but I feel ashamed of how acted in that moment. I can honestly say that on my deathbed, I would be content to die as I have no what if's. I have been an honest and good person.
Can this friendship be saved?
February 27, 2015 at 4:17 pm #149803
Hi Cancankant,
She will call you her best friend that is because you were,unfortunately she is NOT your best friend. She disappeared when you needed help. Sounds like she uses people and keeps her options open so that she fall back on a number of easy pick up friends. Think of the good times that were and forget any future friendship with her. Of course stay pleasant and friendly if necessary but in a distant sort of way. In others words do not rekindle. Good luck Lottie
February 27, 2015 at 4:31 pm #149804
Hi Mann,
NO to your question it can't be.
What are you talking about,she gossiped all your private business to all and sundry and you think she was a friend. NO NO NO. No friend of yours. You missed out on promotion because of what she repeated but also your employers also knew that you couldn't hold your tongue about your own private affairs ,that is also why you missed the job. Then you went yelling down the phone to her. That also will have been repeated to everybody. Keep your own counsel and stop giving info out about your life.
You are now happy with good husband and good friends surely there is no room in your busy (I imagine schedule)and you have a job you happy with. Enjoy your life with those you love. Best wishes Lottie
February 27, 2015 at 4:37 pm #149805
Mann, drop this woman as a friend. She's not a friend. She's guilting you into apologizing for something really rotten SHE did. She did damage to your reputation and career.
And if there's ever a next time, don't share personal information at work. You never know when it'll bite you in the butt.

Sarah Palin pulled a page from the Paris Hilton book of media stunts when she jumped on the back of a Harley Davidson at the Rolling Thunder "Ride For Freedom" and created a vacuum of media attention during an event to honor fallen soldiers. The politically ambitious Palin said of the ride, "There's no better way to see D.C. than on the back of a Harley!"
The politician-turned-reality-tv-star's presence at the rally required amped up security and forced event organizers to deal with the cloud of reporters, photographers and curious onlookers that have followed her "One Nation" tour bus on its first week on the road. The national legislative director of Rolling Thunder, Ted Shpak, told MSNBC very bluntly that Ms, Palin did not receive an invitation from the group to attend the event.
"We're not political, this isn't a political event. Maybe she's coming because she knows we have a half a million people in town," Shpak proferred. "We're here for a reason and, in a way, this has been taking away from the reason we're here."
The online site Veterans Today posted an article titled "Sarah Palin Rolls Over Rolling Thunder," making note that Palin's own supporters had posted an entry in full contrast to Mr. Shpak's statements called "Rolling Thunder Rider's Praise Sarah Palin's Participation in Rally."
Palin is on a tour of New England that she's seems to have convinced her family is just your average founding fathers roadtrip, (her blessedly bitter ten-year old daughter railed at a TIme reporter snaping pics, saying, "Thanks for ruining our vacation!"), although few think it's a coincidence that the states she's crossing also happen to be early voting states in the 2012 presidential primaries.
"It's not the politician or the reporter who makes us free; it is the veteran," Palin said after the ride. She seems to certainly be concentrating on at least two out of three.

First day of school means safety checks for Washington Co., Va. officers
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Va. - It was the first day of school Monday for Washington County, Virginia students. Teachers and students crowded the halls, and so did Washington County Sheriff's Office personnel.
Once a day, every day, Washington County, Virginia Sheriff Fred Newman pulls up to several area schools, starting with Abingdon Elementary School. He signs in as a visitor in the front office, then walks the halls to make sure everything in running smoothly.
It's part of the Sheriff's Office "Once a Day Every Day" initiative, which makes sure all children are safe. The program started in December 2012 shortly after the Sandy Hook shooting, and it requires all Sheriff's Office personnel to visit one school at least once per day.
Abingdon Elementary School principal Megan Denobriga says her school fells safe because of the officer presence. "It's something that's become a habit. Everybody is used to it and we're pleased to have them here. Parents greet them with smiles, and the kids are so used to being around the law enforcement, which is really good for them."
It takes about five minutes to check the schools. The next school for Newman to check is Greendale Elementary School, one of the 17 county schools where law enforcement stepped up safety. "We knew we had guys out and about in our day-to-day activities, so animal control, litter control, patrol division, school resources personnel, so we thought this would be the best way," Newman says.
He says if there's ever a safety problem, it usually involves angry parents and custody disputes. But every morning, he asks, "School day going okay?" That question while walking through the halls makes the first day of school, and the rest of the year, much safer for teachers and students.

By Katie Scott, Wired UK
The extraordinary auditory abilities of the orca have inspired researchers at Stanford University to create an undersea microphone that has a sensitivity range of 160 decibels but can also function at any depth.
[partner id="wireduk" align="right"]Onur Kilic, a postdoctoral researcher in electrical engineering, set out to create a device that had a large range of sensitivity. He began by looking at the ears of marine mammals, particularly orcas. "Orcas had millions of years to optimise their sonar and it shows," he said in a press release. "They can sense sounds over a tremendous range of frequencies and that was what we wanted to do."
The team created a silicon chip with a thin membrane about 500 nanometers thick — about 25 times thinner than common plastic wrap. However, at depth, the air around the diaphragm would compress causing it to stop vibrating. Kilic countered this by surrounding the diaphragm with water and drilling a grid of "nano-holes" in it so that it could flow through.
This, however, brought new issues as the water impeded the diaphragm's movements. "The kind of displacements you get of the diaphragm for the quietest sounds in the ocean is on the order of a hundred-thousandth of a nanometer," Kilic said in a release. "That is ten thousand times smaller than the diameter of an atom."
The team opted to employ lasers and mirrors to detect these minute movements. Kilic ran a fibreoptic cable into the microphone, with the end of the cable positioned near the inside surface of the diaphragm. He then shot light from a laser out the end of the cable onto the diaphragm.
In a statement, the team explained: "Normally a diaphragm so thin would be transparent, allowing the laser's light to escape. But we knew that if the diameters of the holes that allowed water to pass through the diaphragm were close to the wavelength of the light from the laser, the holes would interfere with light trying to pass through the membrane. Instead of letting it pass, the holes would reflect the light back toward the tip of the fibreoptic cable, effectively turning the diaphragm into a mirror even as it still allowed water to pass."
To capture the range of volumes that the team wanted, they had to use three of these diaphragms — each with a different diameter — to capture different sections of the range. The largest is just three-tenths of a millimeter in diameter. "Since they all measure the exact same signal – just with different degrees of responsiveness – they work like a single sensor," Kilic said in the statement. "It is a very high dynamic range microphone, able to sense everything from the weakest sounds to those 100 million times stronger."

But even during the exhibition games, as daily talk-show debate raged about whether Nazem Kadri, the first-round pick and the franchise's lone blue-chip prospect, would claim a spot with the big club, it was clear that Leafmania has reached new heights/depths. Right now, the roller coaster has crested and is steaming downhill. This week, Burke was asked if the coach's job is safe (it is, apparently), and before Wednesday night's losing effort against the Florida Panthers, there were reports of a players-only meeting to clear the air.
Yes, it is the second week of November.
Operating in the Toronto fishbowl, Wilson is not one to quietly take his lumps. His sparring with the local media, his unwillingness to suffer fools (and, at times, non-fools), his sarcasm, his willingness to publicly criticize players, has naturally made him a lightning rod, even more than Burke, who is hardly a shrinking violet. For a team with problems that defy a quick fix, fire-the-coach automatically becomes the mantra when things go bad.
Wilson, not surprisingly, doesn't believe that's fair.
"You can't turn around and say we have no talent in one sentence, that they can't win, and then in the next sentence say they have to fire the coach because he can't get anything out of nothing," he says. "And then to be asked those questions every other week by the same guy - 'Do you feel safe about your job?' I think that's such an ignorant thing to ask anybody. You don't do that to people."
Well, they do do that to people, at least to people in sports all the time, and they're sure as heck doing that to him right now.
Wilson says that while he shuts out what's said and written about him, hockey players in Toronto "get influenced by the outside here more than any other team" - by that he means the media and the fans - and that some of them might have been a bit swept away by the euphoria that accompanied their unexpectedly strong start. "That's the part we have to manage - what's real and what's not, and keeping the players grounded. That's the biggest part of my job, keeping everybody's feet on the ground when it's going well."
And like now, when it's not going well, he can at least absorb the heat, be the lightning rod. The only question is whether he will also be the ritual sacrifice.
"If you can only win, this will be the best place in the world to be," Wilson says. "That's what keeps me going when it's hard."
He is closing in on 1,300 games coached and 600 games won in the NHL, both numbers that put him in rare company. He has won a World Cup for the United States, has won an Olympic silver medal, is now at what figures to be his last professional stop, and imagines exiting on his own terms.
This is where he and the Leafs fanatics - including that subterranean screamer - share the same fantasy.
As a player, Wilson retired immediately after captaining a group of U.S. Selects to the Spengler Cup in December of 1988. He figured it wasn't going to get any better than that and he wanted to get on with life so he never played another game.
A nice night in Davos it must have been, but nothing to compare with hoisting the sacred chalice in Hogtown, setting off a celebration for the ages, and then immediately walking off into the sunset to spend some quality time with the grandkid. That's the upside of working in a crazy hockey town - imagining how good it could be.
"All I really want to do is win the Stanley Cup," Wilson says. "Then I would be released. If we won, that's the last game I'll ever coach. Honest to God I would have no hesitation. That's all I've ever wanted to do, to have my name on the Cup with my dad and my uncle. That's honest to God how I feel.
"This is the team I grew up with. Punch Imlach was the last coach who won. That would be just the coolest thing in the world. I'm not about coming back the next year and having everybody pat me on the back, knowing I could be the mayor of Toronto. That doesn't interest me at all. I could just quietly go away and have all of this satisfaction, knowing that this was something I dreamed about all of my life, this was something I managed to do, and now I can actually breathe."Report Typo/Error

Absolutism, Fantasy, or Revelation/ The Transcendental American Idealism
Essay by: Carlet la Lovecraft
Status: Finished
Genre: Non-Fiction
The Transcendental American Idealism
Kantian absolutism is real in Hollywood's market; the Hegelian fantasy is not what American history of porno and slavery questioning on being in needs, and by all mean of what Kierkegaard holds to the word revelation. That is the conception of truth, then there cannot be any transcendental idealism in American freedom whether in its free of speech or in its autonomous science of individualism has the real seal of human salvation.
So, where the real America stand? Somewhere in the perennial discovery of our silly arrogance. But there is more. History is positive and cruel. Here we are going to find all kind of "ism" pools: rationalism and idealism and existentialism because they seem to rise the same denomination of intensely discovery who we are and who we are not. However, British failed to give us any proposition for which George Washington or John Adams might be nourished by such regret of mental different. In fact, they either confirmed their own position dogmatically how a future will be in front of us. For instance, Negroes, Homosexuals, and Abortion all that lay down from the standpoint of the Constitution.
Now this is tragedy.
Suppose that all doctrines of neorealism and critical realism and rationalism and Marxism may be attached to the capitalism of American mentality. Not as history, as we recognize the real America, but the validity of American spirit. Can we call it illusion? An overwhelmed reality? Or an effective tool of American disenchanted to world? Whatever it sounds, which it is the absolute presence of America in front of the world, we wish to focus now on the unity of that fear.
We are afraid of trying being an American. Because our paradoxical truth is difficult to sell in human values such as individualism and within the framework of American Constitution and thoughts. More danger to our thoughts, which in its development little by little seems to be fulfilled more and more with irrationalistic and subjectivistic. A pool of fear and corruption.
Here lies the essence of America to the world. The powerful thought of changing, the overlooking perception from the above sense of rational position. A question rises, however. Is this a fact that appears antithetical of human choice? Can we find now that American Constitution is a character only from the true freedom or from the fatal transformation of being an American under the autonomy rule? Only this confirm that a type of freedom cannot be attached to the ability of domination. SOMEONE will find is an intentional of blindness, a religion sense, and not an identification of reasons.
Nevertheless, in our mind, it seems to us that America has a speculative thought which it is divided by such dimension on humans. If naturalism, democracy, and religion in the American eyes has a critical and theoretical line in front of the world ("as fragmentary mind") then America will be a dangerous enemy to every human who differentiated themselves as individuals in their own choice such as the differences of what we are in the world outside of American circle.

HCC Community Craft Day attracts crowds Saturday
Haywood Community College's Foundation held a free community craft workshop day Saturday, July 20 in the college's creative arts building.
The event attracted 65 participants who chose from eight different workshops: make a bracelet, play in the clay, designer pillow, dovetails demystified, artful finishes for wood, Appalachian heritage arts and music, learn the knit stitch and handspun fun. Six of the workshops were either full or almost completely full.
"The workshop was wonderful," said Julie Newland, who participated in the Make a Bracelet Workshop. "It was very interesting to see the ways you could manipulate metal to make different designs. I am ready to do another workshop."
A morning and afternoon session was offered for each workshop. Supplies and lunch was included.
"This was the HCC Foundation's first attempt at a 'Student for a Day' event on campus," said Sherri Myers, HCC director of Institutional Advancement. "It was a great opportunity to highlight the different craft programs and continuing education craft opportunities that the college offers. It was a good way for the community to see the new creative arts building while having fun."
Myers said HCC plans to hold additional workshop days in the future where members of the community can explore programs such as fish and wildlife, entrepreneurship and forestry.

Brown Bears topple Wild in shootout
The Kenai River Brown Bears defeated the host Wenatchee (Wash.) Wild 3-2 on Friday in a shootout in North American Hockey League play.
The Brown Bears won the shootout 3-1 to improve to 8-4-0 and tie the Fresno (Calif.) Monsters for second place in the West Division. Wenatchee falls to 4-4-1. Fairbanks is on top of the division at 9-1-5.
Dating back to last year, Kenai River has now won three of its last four at Wenatchee, which is a tough place to play. Friday, the Wild drew 2,370 fans.
The Brown Bears also continue to enjoy success in games that go into overtime. Kenai River has won all four extra-session contests this year, including three in shootouts.
"It may sound elementary, but when you play in overtime hungry, it's very different than letting the pressure of overtime get to you," said Kenai River coach Oliver David via cell phone. "We really get after it in overtime."
Last year, the Brown Bears were just 3-7 in games that went into overtime.
"It's 180 degrees from last year's team," David said. "These guys are really hungry and the goalies are capable of keeping the pucks out of the net."
After an overtime session that saw the Wild record three shots and the Brown Bears get two, Kenai River got busy in the shootout when defenseman Jacob Davidson scored in the first round.
"He probably won't have 10 points on the season, but he made a very skilled move and went five-hole," David said. "That got the bench fired up."
Shawn Pauly also scored in the first round for the Wild, but he would be the only one to solve Brown Bears goalie Austin Severson.
Ryan Walker, another defenseman, scored in the second round to put Kenai River ahead to stay.
"He ripped a shot off the crossbar and post," David said. "It chimed like three times like a cow bell coming in for dinner."
After Brett Lubanski and Bobby Murphy missed, Zac Lazzaro scored to end the game. Lazzaro also ended an overtime contest on Oct. 7 against the Monsters with a goal.
In regulation, David said his team did a good job of grinding out a tie against Wenatchee's defensive style. The Brown Bears finished with 27 shots, while the Wild had 33.
After getting torched on the power play in a recently completed set with the Monsters, Kenai River held the Wild to 0 for 7 on the man advantage. The Brown Bears also got the first goal of the game on a shorthanded tally by Alex Frere, who now has 11 goals in 12 games.
David said Frere pounced on a mistake at the point and scored on a breakaway.
Wenatchee tied the game when Ben Carey scored the second period's lone goal. With 16:36 to play, Jesse Ramsey, on assist by Skyler McKnight put the Bears ahead. Pauly tied the game with 12:46 to play.
"To be honest, both of their goals were soft," David said. "We were not beaten and we were not out of position."
The coach said those two negative plays do not take away from the positive of getting a win in Wenatchee.
The same two teams hook up Saturday at 6:05 p.m. ADT in Wenatchee.
Brown Bears 3, Wild 2, SO
Kenai River 1 0 1 0 1 —3
Wenatchee 0 1 1 0 0 —2
First period — 1. Kenai River, Frere (un), sh, 18:12. Penalties — Kenai River 1 for 2:00; Wenatchee 1 for 2:00.
Second period — 2. Wenatchee, Carey (un), 3:24. Penalties — Kenai River 4 for 8:00; Wenatchee 3 for 6:00.
Third period — 3. Kenai River, Ramsey (McKnight), 3:24; 4. Wenatchee, Pauly (Johnson), 7:14. Penalties — Kenai River 2 for 4:00; Wenatchee 4 for 8:00.
Overtime — none. Penalties — none.
Shootout — Kenai River 3 (Davidson G, Walker G, Lubanski NG, Murphy NG, Lazzaro G); Wenatchee 1 (Pauly G, Redmond NG, Tafoya NG, McHugh NG).
Shots on goal — Kenai River 6-8-10-2—26; Wenatchee 7-6-17-3—33.
Goalies — Kenai River, Severson (33 shots, 31 saves); Wenatchee, Nichols (26 shots, 24 saves).
Power plays — Kenai River 0 for 6; Wenatchee 0 for 7.

Wildlife Officials Remind of Rabies Vaccinations as Skunks Emerge
By newsroom On February 15, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Animal Rights/Wellfare, Animals, KRCC News, Martha Perez-Sanz, Public Safety, Student Reporter, Text, Wildlife
As the days get warmer, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is reminding citizens to keep pets and farm animals up-to-date on rabies vaccinations. As KRCC's Martha Perez-Sanz reports, now is the time skunks start to emerge.
Skunks don't hibernate, but spend the coldest winter months in communal dens. They begin to emerge in February, and by March, their breeding season is well underway.
Rabies infections spread through bites and saliva contact. Signs a skunk may be rabid include walking in circles, stumbling, and aggressive behavior.
Skunks mostly come out at night near places where they're more likely to find food scraps. Parks and Wildlife says residents should keep outdoor garbage sealed and secure.

Learn something new everyday...
Last week I started noticing a noise on my truck that got faster as the I drove faster and slowed down as I slowed down. It was coming from the front left corner. I jacked the truck up and inspected my springs, my shocks, the draglink etc. but everything seemed fine. The noise got louder every day. On wednesday I drive it to the cruise in down town over 2 high traffic bridges and get there safe. I meet up my uncle at the cruise-in and tell him about it. He told me it could be a few things, but maybe one of my lugs was loose. I drive home carefully, jack it up, pop off my hub-cap, and what do I see? 4 lugs are loose. And I mean hand loose. The noise started happening after I parked it at my school one day, and not at my buddys house. I call my uncle and he tells me it could've turned out way worse, my wheel couldve fallen off and I probably would've been in some mayor trouble on the highway. He said this kind of thing doesnt just happen, someobdy probably loosened them on purpose. I was shocked. Ah well, now I know what that noise is and the complications associated with it eh?
Glad to hear that it was an easy fix. Be thankful you found out about it before it was to late
I always hated those guys who mess with others cars like that. I had someone at my high school break into my truck and switch the plug wires around on it. Took me a while to figure that one out, but still pisses ya off.
Until a buddy of mine wrecked his blazer and drove around without a hood or fender for a couple weeks...it was easy to switch his plug wires around for quick laugh, but I told him what I did after watching him sit in the school parking lot cussin it out for a while. that was funny
Reminds me of the time I dropped by '76 Chevy pickup off a a friend's tire shop for a set of new wheels, tires and a state inspection. I picked it up after work, drove home and went out to mow the lawn. My daughter was about 2 at the time and she as out looking at the shiney new wheels on the truck. She came running up to me and handed me a lug nut (I thought "that's strange, looks just like the new ones on the truck"). Not being a believer in coincidence, I checked the lug nuts and there wasn't a tight one on there... some almost backed all the way off. My daughter must have grabbed one that was only being held on by one thread. I called my friend in the morning to tell him about it and he fired the guy that had worked on my truck on the spot.
I drove a couple of days like that. One wheel was really loose. I am lucky I did not die because my commute at the time was 75 miles one way and there were some curvy roads.
Nightfire ,
with a truck as old as yours I am assuming that the lugs & studs are original.
believe it or not they can wear out.
you need to inspect each & everyone with a magnifying glass for stress cracking.
I have had this happen with lugs & studs.
one time I was ways out in the Ocala National forest in my LeMans & i pulled out of a store & something just felt a little funny i didn't think about it until the the next time I pulled out & I heard a little ping {i guess} from the R/R tire.
So i pulled over & took a peek
!!!! 3 studs broke & gone!
So here I am in bum F**k Egypt so I jacked it up took the wheel off to look the other 2 were getting ready to let go. so I limped it home & replaced all of them.
Also I have had Pontiac rocker arm nuts { a top lock nut} fail on my & under a magnifying glass you can see cracks in the nuts usually 6 of them I should still have them some where lemme see if I can find them
but any way sorry for the long post inspect the m lugs & studs

loose lug nuts?
To bad about the lugs but ALWAYS chech with a wrench or 4-way at a tire shop. Reason being their equipment gets used continously and compressor could be low on pressure, impact worn or dry even the socket could have been worn and slipping. I know one shop that checks every lug in the torque pattern with a torque wrench! They want you alive so you can buy more tires later. I had a squeak develop one time I could not find, but my front end alignment mechanic found a cotter pin that had turned and was hitting the dust cover.
I had a 59 chevy impala and was home from college for the summer, out driving in the country on a moon-lit evening impressing the heck out of my really nice date, thinking I was about the coolest guy in the world. And suddenly I see a WHEEL passing me on the left. And it was one of MY wheels. Off the left rear. Rolling right up along side and passing me.
The car stayed upright (until I pulled over and stopped) and I easily chased down the wheel from the ditch and put it back on borrowing a nut from each of the other three wheels to get me back home. But it sure didn't do much for my ego or for any extra curricular activities with my date.
Lesson learned: Always keep your nuts where they belong.
Always learning...and sharing what I've learned.

Back in the mid seventies, before I had a car or a drivers license, 4 friends and I were being carpooled to the local high school for basketball practice. My friends sister was driving her Corvair. We round a corner and we suddenly hear what sounded like something rattling around in the hubcap.
We convinced the gal to pull over, jumped out and popped off the hubcap. (2) of the four studs were broken off, and of course they were side by side to each other. She limped the chevy into town, running about 10 mph the entire way.
Hubcaps..... your audio warning device of pending disasters. Us mag wheel guys wouldn't have been so lucky. But then again who would put mags on a Corvair?
Cboy LOL
I'd paid money to see that one!!! HAW HAW HAW too funny
I had to limp my LeMans home from Daytona @ # am cause my R/F wheel bearing went crunchy takes for ever @10 to 15 MPH afraid of killing the spindle.
When I took off the rotor bearings went every where

Couple months ago I was sitting in the parking lot at work eating my lunch when a kid pulls in in his 70's Z28, inspects his front passenger tire then hops in the car and drives back and forth, once again he hops out and inspects the front passenger tire. He then hops in to drive away, backs up, the car jumped like he had run over a speed bump and the front DRIVERS side tire rolled out in front of the car and fell over. I damn near choked on my sandwhich, funniest thing I had ever seen, he just sat there staring straight ahead for a few minuites before calling his dad.
When I got home I checked my lug nuts
Had it happen to me two weeks ago.
Had my rears balanced and when driving the next day it was like being
shook up in a mixer, at 80 my teeth were rattling.
I checked my rear lug nuts and only two on each side were finger tight.
From now on I will torque them after taking it to a tire guy.
In fact my tire guy is an oldcar and American car fan, he has a 66 Mustang coupe all original, a 1925 Chevy Superior and a 1976 Ford truck, it was his
hoppo who did my wheels, we were talking cars.
I will be going back when I get time to wring him out a little.
If a wheel has been rattling around due to loose lug nuts best to check the
wheel has´nt chopped into the lugs.
Aaahhhh...the ole' lugnut stories I had the same thing hapen to me in high school. Went to lunch, going up Main St. a little too fast, front wheel flies off, rolls up, hits one car and into the front of a cop car. Uh-Oh!!! He was nice about it and told me it has happend to a few others at school. I don't know if they ever caught who was doing it though. It could have been way worse on any other road other than in town. Say like going down the highway.
Mike....if you suspect someone at school doing it, buy two sets of locking lugs and put two on each wheel. That way the wheel will not come off if they loosen all of the others. What pisses ya off though is someone does it mainly because they are jealous of what you have, and they don't want to work for the same thing
Cboy I laughed pretty hard at that, you know your have a slow car when your own wheel is beating you
These definitly didnt come loose by themselves. All the threads are fine and the studs still have their conical shape etc. I already inspected them.
I wont take it to school anymore, specially cause my last day of school was thursday and Im done my required 12 years of highschool education
Just ditch the hub caps. According to the yo-yos at one of our friendly local tire stores, if you leave the hub caps off, the rain will cause the lug nuts to get tighter. So tight, in fact, than an I-R 231 running on 125psi won't get them off.
The little bastards at school probably loosened your lugs because you don't fit into the "In crowd" (you don't drive RICE).
I know we've had our differences of opinion in the past, but we're still birds of a feather so to say.
My advice is not to drive it to school anymore unless you have it under surveillance........
Don't let those PUNKS get you down, keep on Roddin" little brotha!

I have a PDA/LDA 9mm. The trigger is butter smooth. However, mine will only feed FMJ ball ammo. I've even sent it back to the factory for new sights (NIB sights were way off) and feed ramp polishing. Still won't feed hollow point or any +p ammo.
Holsters: You have to get the generic 3" 1911.
Magazines: Good Luck with that.
I still have the gun, I'm not sure why...

Leaving Toronto has been happily unremarkable. No long waits, plus the efficient Air France boarding procedure has kept everyone satisfied. And flight crew was even pleasant!
