I finally talked my financial adviser into letting me get an AR15. I received the upper (Riflegear which is made by Daniel Defense) and an LMT lower. I installed them tonight and I had to tap both pins in. Not hammer them but couldn't push in with just my fingers. Is this normal? Pretty sure I'm going to need a punch and hammer to get it apart. Any help would be appreciated.

Best Choices for Self Defense Ammunition
Yes, it is common,dont worry about it. I'd rather have them tight than loose.
Newer receivers are usally tight because of the anodizing that is done on it. After the pins go in and out a few times, they loosen up.

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
I knew I was over thinking it. Just seemed like all the cleaning videos I watched, people were just pushing them out.
My Bushmaster is brand new and it is very tight. I do need to tap them out, and back in, but each time they are getting looser, so I am not worried.
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.
What hotguns said, it's a combination of the anodizing and the detent springs still being stiff. It will loosen up some. Better them be tight than loose.

If 27 .40cal Hornady Critical Defense cant save me, only God can.
My M&P15 Sport was very tight when I bought it, and I needed to use my knife to push them out the first few times. After breaking it down many times and putting a little oil on the pins, they're a breeze to press out with my thumb.
I would rather the pins be a bit tight than loose.

Just about all moving parts on an AR smoothens out with use.
Don't believe what you hear and only half of what you see!
-Tony Soprano
In my experiense the detents will form a path on the takedown pins as they are pushed in and out ,the front detent if you are seperating the upper and lower always works best for me if when I push on the pin I rotate the receivers up and down a little until I find a spot where the pin pushes out easiest.
I'm not sure but in the closed position there may be a low spot on the takedown pin that the detent has be pushed past.

Wouldn't it be your dream job to work at the soccer club you've always supported? Terry Daley's family and friends presumed that he was delighted to be working on the official game day magazine at Chelsea FC (British teams produce a unique "match programne" for every home game), but he ended up feeling less like a journalist and more like a PR and Propaganda Executive. MLS media relations employees, please look away.
"The money was terrible [and] the people above me had no idea what the fans wanted from their publication," writes Daley in a highly entertaining
diatribe that won't surprise anyone who's been watching the ultra-commercialization of the English game this past decade. "Anything at all that could be considered criticism of the club or players
was scrubbed out. Even in match reports players were 'unlucky' to miss from two yards out, and almost any mention of red or yellow cards was strictly forbidden, let alone diving or incessant
barracking of referees."
Unlike in previous incarnations of the magazine, no critical missives from fans were printed on the letters page, leading to "a sanitized product that
patronizes its audience and discourages discourse with supporters." But the club didn't care if the fans liked it or not, as long as the magazine could promote the Chelsea Megastore and the products
of official sponsors. "Reading it gives you an idea of how much the club has changed in the last five years -- instead of talking to its existing supporters directly they're trying to lure new fans
with big pictures of star players as part of their global strategy. It's a disconcerting but all too predictable shift in priorities."

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Northern Arizona football team placed three players on The Sports Network FCS Preseason All-America Team, announced today by the organization. The Sports Network FCS Preseason All-America Team is 98 players deep and comes from 59 different schools and all 13 conferences.
Andy Wilder, a kicker from Scottsdale, Ariz., was selected to the first team. Wilder led the nation in punting in 2012 with an average of 46.3 yards per punt. He also tallied 25 punts of 50 or more yards during the season.
Running back Zach Bauman, a native of Chandler, Ariz., was named to the second team. Bauman ranks second in school history with 3,676 career rushing yards, and is only 119 yards shy from breaking the school record. He became the first Lumberjack to register three 1,000-plus yard rushing seasons, in addition to holding the school record for most carries with 733.
Safety Lucky Dozier, a native of Sacramento, Calif., was selected to the third team. An All-Big Sky first-team honoree from a year ago, Dozier ranked fourth on the team in tackles with 57 and tied for the Big Sky Conference lead with four interceptions.

Jurors in serial killing case get choices
By Allan Dowd
NEW WESTMINSTER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Jurors in the trial of pig farmer Robert "Willie" Pickton were told on Friday they can consider the lesser charge of manslaughter if they choose to convict the man alleged to be Canada's deadliest serial killer.
The jury of seven men and five women began their deliberations in a court near Vancouver late Friday. In the current trial, Pickton, 58, is charged with six counts of first degree murder. He will be tried on another 20 counts later.
In his long and complicated instructions to the jury before deliberations began, Judge James Williams gave it the option of finding Pickton guilty of the lesser charges of manslaughter or second degree murder.
Police allege Pickton took drug-addicted prostitutes from downtown Vancouver, to his suburban farm where he killed them, chopped up the bodies and in a slaughterhouse and disposed of the remains through the use of farm animals and a rendering plant.
Pickton has pleaded not guilty.
The prosecution's case is based largely on circumstantial evidence, including the bones and clothing of victims found on his property and statements he is alleged to have made to witnesses, one of whom testified she saw him cutting up a body.
Pickton's attorneys say the bones do not prove he was the killer, and say police ignored other possible suspects in their investigation. They said the woman who claimed to have seen the body was a drug addict who may have been hallucinating.
The trial began in January and has heard from nearly 130 witnesses. A date for the trial on the remaining 20 murder charges has not been set. Continued...

Short version - guy with GT3 hands keys to friend. Friend mistakenly hits clutch instead of brake. Chaos ensues as GT3 hits Celica(owned by the 'safety steward' who set up the course), and then hits the Subaru which hit the Audi.
1. I would kill my friend for cracking up my GT3
2. How do you think insurance covers something that happens at SCCA
The Audi and Subaru were not even competing in the event, they were spectators. I haven't been to an SCCA event yet, but when/if I do - I'm gonna make sure I park a stones throw from the course.

(Updated for 2016-2017) One of the best things about living in a big cosmopolitan city like San Francisco is the array of events always at one's fingertips: world-class art exhibitions, cultural festivals, new restaurant openings, conventions, and so much more. I don't call San Francisco home, but it's close enough that I can visit frequently–when my budget allows.
Visiting San Francisco in the winter is a good idea because there are fewer tourists than in the summer, and the weather can be nicer–chilly, for sure, but it can be sunny and not as cold as it gets inland. There will be days of rain but also many days of sun.
First, make a list of the outdoor activities and indoor activities that you want to do, and plan which activities to do according to the weather. See more in this post: 30 things to do in San Francisco.
Second, make a list of special events you'd like to attend. From theater productions to festivals, there's always something exciting happening in the City. These are the events that I have my eye on:
Zinfandel Experience at Pier 27 and Bently Reserve
February 23-25. More information here.
California's most famous grape will be celebrated with three days of wine tasting showcasing different styles from both well known producers and emerging wineries. The events include wine and food pairing, a wine seminar, and wine tasting of Zinfandel from about 100 different wineries. However, the events are not just about wine tasting; the mission of the organization is "to advance public knowledge of and appreciation for American Zinfandel and its unique place in our culture and history." As a huge fan of Zinfandel, I plan to be there.
The Nutcracker and Swan Lake by the San Francisco Ballet
The Nutcracker runs December 10-29, several other productions run through the winter, and then Swan Lake will show March 31-April 12. Info. and tickets here.
Last year my mom gave me an experience gift–a night in San Francisco to see the San Francisco Ballet perform the classic ballet Giselle. The show transported me to my childhood experiences watching ballets in New York City. It was a grand night and a magical show. The Nutcracker is a holiday favorite, of course, but any these ballets would make a memorable winter evening out.
Chinese New Year in San Francisco's Chinatown
Chinese New Year will start with the Fresh Flower Fair in Chinatown on Sat., Jan. 21 and Sun., Jan. 22. The festivities will end with the Grand Parade through Chinatown on Saturday, February 11. More details here.
San Francisco's Gingerbread Houses
Find out where and when to see the gingerbread houses here.
Museum Exhibitions:
The Art of Pinocchio at the Walt Disney Family Museum though Jan. 9, 2017.
Check out the new SFMOMA if you haven't yet and see these master works of modern art or the special exhibitions.
Modern art fans can see a retrospective of Frank Stella's work at the de Young Museum through Feb. 26, 2017.
"The Future of the Past: Mummies and Medicine" at the Legion of Honor through 2018.
Where to stay in San Francisco:
The 100-year-old boutique luxury hotel CLIFT, conveniently located just minutes from Union Square. And if you're going to the City for a romantic getaway, consider their Valentine's Day special.
The Kensington Park Hotel just off Union Square is a boutique luxury hotel. I like this hotel for its historic architecture, comfortable rooms, and location, but keep in mind that breakfast is not served at the hotel.
This is my favorite vacation rental in San Francisco. The apartment is gorgeous–it has everything that a vacation rental should have, plus the location is quiet and within walking distance to parks and shopping. Get a $25 credit toward your first booking on Airbnb right here!
P.S. Much more about San Francisco here and here.
What winter travel experiences do you enjoy? What would you recommend doing in San Francisco in the winter?

We embrace the diverse range of visible and invisible attributes that characterize our workforce, the markets in which we operate, our business partners and the investors we serve around the world. We foster an inclusive environment that brings out the best in all of our people. While we have made progress in the area of inclusion and diversity, we recognize that we still have work to do. We take an active approach to promote inclusion and diversity with our own employees, with our clients and business partners and beyond our walls.
BlackRock is committed to cultivating and advancing diversity in all forms because we believe a wide range of perspectives and talent is crucial to creating a richer culture for our employees and a greater experience for our diversified global client base.
Senior business leaders make sure that all employees in their groups understand why diversity is important for success and equip them with tools and knowledge to foster inclusion.
We have made inclusive leadership and management a core leadership competency. Since 2015, more than 2,500 managers and leaders globally participated in Driving Better Decisions, an initiative that helps leaders and managers understand how unconscious bias works and, most importantly, provides concrete tools and guidance on how to take action to mitigate bias in key people and business decisions. As part of this program, we have redesigned key human resources processes to minimize the potential for bias and foster diversity. BlackRock's efforts to use diversity as a driver of success were profiled in a 2015 Harvard Business School case study.
We hold our businesses accountable for progress in inclusion and diversity. During our Quarterly Business Reviews, we have focused conversations with each business about their plans and progress. We report our progress against our inclusion and diversity initiatives regularly to our Board of Directors.
As a signatory of HM Treasury's Women in Finance Charter, which seeks to build a more balanced and diverse financial services industry, BlackRock is committed to achieving 30% female representation in senior management by 2020.

Launched in 2011, BlackRock's Women's Leadership Forum is a specialized year-long program for high-performing women at senior levels of the firm. It provides participants with the insight, sponsorship and a global network to expand their leadership impact and scope. Since its inception, more than 80% of participants have moved into new or significantly expanded roles in the firm. Several have been named to key governance bodies for BlackRock, including the Global Executive Committee and business and regional executive committees.
The BlackRock Founders Scholarship
The BlackRock Founders Scholarship is for Black, Hispanic, Native American, LGBT and disabled college juniors in the United States who excel in their studies and demonstrate leadership in creating and sustaining diverse, inclusive communities. Through the BlackRock Founders Scholarship, BlackRock gives student leaders from underrepresented groups the opportunity to shape our firm and our industry, through a $12,500 merit award and a position in our summer internship program. This program has helped to increase the diversity of our Analyst new hires.
Find Your Future Forum
Our educational program for freshman and sophomores aims at increasing awareness of an interest in financial services careers among diverse student groups from all academic disciplines. In 2015, more than 120 students participated in forums across the United States.
The Multicultural Talent Development Initiative
BlackRock's 12-month individual development program is designed to support and develop our high performing multicultural talent through a combination of feedback, assessment, career development and sponsorship.
The Women's Initiative Network (WIN) brings together leadership, innovation and passion to foster the full potential of women at BlackRock.
BlackRock's OUT Network supports the success of BlackRock by fostering an inclusive community for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender employees, building positive, respectful, professional relationships, and enriching workplace diversity.

BlackRock's Families at BlackRock Network provides educational and networking opportunities for employees to share experiences around managing their work and family lives.

The program looks to 1) Identify new brokers and strengthen current relationships by aligning Emerging Brokers' core competencies with our trading businesses; and 2) Continue to look for ways in which Emerging Brokers can engage in competitive business and introduce new means for them to become more competitive in the broader market place.
BlackRock is focused on supporting inclusion and diversity both inside and outside the firm. BlackRock has strategic partnerships with several organizations to help us attract and develop top talent from diverse backgrounds, and to support inclusion and diversity beyond the workplace.

66 impala front brakes
what ,if any, later disc brakes will work on my 66 impala.Spindles and all.It's ss 4speed and it will not stop with the old drums :eek:
my son has a 66 also, and was told a 69&70 impala car or wagon will work,you must use:
upper & lower ball joints
tierod assy's
center drag link
and all of the brake parts
good luck
also another option is year one sells a kit for front and rear discs this is the route i will most likely go with my 66 caprice
Hi all,
I did this swap on my 65 Impala SS. You don't need the tie rod stuff, the existing fits. Just replace what is bad. You need the master cylinder and metering valve and the left front hard brake line from the donor car. The rear line will fit with one of the brake line flair nut adapter that all the parts houses have. You will also have to go to 15" wheels to clear the discs. Mine sures stops nice now. 67 and 68 will work also, but they are the 4 piston disk brakes and parts are tough to find and I don't think they work as well as the floating calipers.
Hope this helps
check out http://www.performancesuspension.com/main.htm
They have complete disc kits....
brake conversion
I have McCaughys 2 inch dropped spindles on mine but had to replace the bearings immediately( poor quality) just went to napa and got them mine has 69 chevelle rotors 78 malibu calipers shop around to find a kit that has everything you need I coverted mine for about 530 bucks all i needed was fluid but had to get quality bearings my kit was purchased on ebay (front only) but i do not have the contact info
If you read in the top left corner of a post you'll see the date it was done on. In this post it was back in 2003. THe issue was likely resolved and a reply 9 years later won't help anybody. I see you've done this on a couple of these threads from the dead.

Thanks for responding ladies (& gentlemen if there were any but I don't think there were!), you all brought up a lot of good points but I'm still leaning towards getting rid of it.
I dunno I just feel like we the people should have the final say in who is getting elected, and I don't think the electoral college gives us that. I guess we could remodel it but I don't even know where to begin with fixing it.
Amandacurls that was a very interesting point you brought up with the VP. I think we should have a say as well in the VP selecting process, they are just as important as the President (especially in times like these!)
Turtles: omg please don't put that in your moo moo
Nej: too late... moo moo has been infiltrated.

C'mon, as if. Batman is totally a hitter.
Yasiel Puig's one-game suspension has been rescinded
MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports that Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig's one-game suspension has been rescinded. Instead, he will make a charitable donation. The alternative "punishment" was agreed to by Major League Baseball and the Players' Association.
Puig was suspended one game two weeks ago after flipping off some hecklers at Progressive Field in Cleveland. Puig showed remorse after the game, saying, "I stooped to their level."
Entering Tuesday night's action, Puig was batting .251/.331/.458 with 14 home runs and 41 RBI in 287 plate appearances.
Video: Adrian Beltre hits his 450th career home run
Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre picked a good time to hit his 450th home run. With the game tied 1-1 in the top of the ninth inning, Beltre took the first pitch he saw from closer Cody Allen for a ride, sending it into the left field seats at Progressive Field to break the tie.
The Rangers would go on to win 2-1. Beltre finished 2-for-4. He now has 2,969 career hits, leaving him 31 shy of becoming the 31st member of the 3,000 hit club.
On the season, Beltre is hitting .303/.373/.562 with five home run sand 22 RBI in 102 plate appearances.

[[Image:Oracle-GTA4-front.jpg|thumb|right|300px|An Oracle in GTA IV ([[:Image:Oracle-GTA4-rear.jpg|Rear quarter view]]).]] The ''[[Ubermacht]]'' '''Oracle XS''' (dubbed simply '''Oracle''' when entered) is a four-door sports-luxury sedan in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. == Description == === Design === The Oracle is a four-door sedan which inherits the general design and role previously filled by the [[Sentinel]] in the [[GTA III Era|prior to GTA IV]] (the GTA IV Sentinel is redesigned as a two-door sport luxury coupe). The Oracle resembles the [[wp:BMW 7 Series|BMW E65 7 Series]] (2002-2008), particularly the pre-facelift models (2002-2005). The only noticeable differences are inverted front indicators, a slightly different taillight design, and the lack of BMW's traditional (and trademarked) kidney-shaped grilles. The grille resembles that of a [[wp:Lexus_LS#Second_generation_.28XF20.29|second-generation Lexus LS]], one of the competitors to the BMW 7 Series in the full-size luxury segment. There is a slightly modified variant of the Oracle driven by members of the [[Irish American Killers]]. It is painted dark green with front and rear bumper kits and a sport mesh grill, and its badge markings are removed. This variant is often seen in [[Steinway]], [[Dukes]]. {| align="center" |
Image:Oracle-GTA4-front.jpg|GTA IV ([[:Image:Oracle-GTA4-rear.jpg|Rear quarter view]]).
Image:Oracle-GTA4-modified-front.jpg|The modified variant driven by the McReary Mob in GTA IV ([[:Image:Oracle-GTA4-modified-rear.jpg|Rear quarter view]]).
=== Performance ===
The Oracle is probably powered by a V12, like the most powerful 7 Series which use the BMW N73 engine. Thus it is able to achieve a decent high speed with satisfactory acceleration. Its handling is superb for a car of its size, and it is durable, owing to its luxury construction. The soft suspension means that the car is comfortable on all surfaces. Its top speed is 130 mph. It's definitely the best sports sedan to drive in GTA IV. Braking varies as anti-lock brakes are (oddly) not available yet.
[[Image:Oracle-GTA4-advertising.png|thumb|256px|Advertisement for the Oracle commonly seen on billboards in the city.]]
* The default radio station in the Oracle is [[The Journey]].
* An Oracle ad parodying BMW's ad style is seen on billboards around the city, including one at [[Star Junction]]. It shows a picture of the car with the caption, "Automatic Arrogance".
** This is likely a reference to German luxury manufacturers with a long lineage (namely BMW and Mercedes-Benz), whose dealers tended to be arrogant compared to less-established marques like Lexus.[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,971153-1,00.html]
** Also, BMW engineers largely ignored the frequent complaints about the complexity of the new iDrive interface of the E65 7 Series.[http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1658545_1658544_1658541,00.html]
** The "Automatic" is also a reference to the only transmission choice for a BMW 7 Series, in contrast to other BMW vehicles that have manual transmission available, as the E65 was the first iternation of the 7 Series not to offer a manual.
** Drawing from an earlier pre-release iteration, the advertisement's Oracle sports a simpler, thinner front bumper and lacks the bonnet-mounted Ubermacht emblem.
* The Oracle's name could be a reference to the [[wp:BMW Oracle Racing|BMW Oracle Racing]] team, as Übermacht, is based on BMW, produces the Oracle.
* The Oracle shares the same rim design as the [[Super Diamond]]. Coincidentally, BMW, which is parodied in game as the Oracle-producing "Ubermacht", is also the parent company of Rolls-Royce in real life. In fact, during the first stages of designing the Rolls-Royce Phantom, the shell of the E65 BMW 7 Series was used as a design guide, so in some sense the Rolls-Royce Phantom is a larger and more luxurious platform mate to the BMW 7 Series.
* In perfect condition this car can be sold at [[S&M Auto Sales]] for $2,500.
== Prominent appearances and locations ==
* Can always be found in the parking lot across from the [[Middle Park East Safehouse]] on [[Albany Ave]].
* Usually one parked at Franklin Street in Steinway.
* The Oracle is mostly found in [[Algonquin]], near [[City Hall, Algonquin|City Hall]] and [[The Exchange]].
* [[Ray Boccino]] drives a black Oracle, which can be taken after [[Pest Control]].
* [[Patrick McReary]] drives a modified McReary Mob Oracle, seen in [[Harboring a Grudge]].
* [[Lyle Rivas]] owns one just sometime before the mission [[Search and Delete]], and was taken in [[Easy as Can Be]].
* A rare Oracle XS can be obtained in the mission [[Taking in the Trash]]. This Oracle can be changed to a desired color at a Pay N' Spray, without the car immediately going to its default color (dark green).
* In [[Going Deep]], a [[Ray Bulgarin]] mission, most of the cars in the parking complex are Oracles, including a hard-to-find red one that Bulgarin and [[Timur]] hide behind. If you are relatively careful not to blow it up during the shootout, it's easy stolen in the process of completing the mission.
* Bulgarin later has a black Oracle waiting outside his house, in both of his following missions.
==Notable owners==
* Ray Boccino
* Patrick McReary
* Lyle Rivas (at one time before "[[Search and Delete]]").
* Ray Bulgarin

The hard work of the faculty and students at East Jackson Elementary School is being recognized by Georgia Secretary of State Kathy Cox.
Cox announced Friday that East Jackson Elementary School has been selected as one of the 2008 Georgia Schools of Excellence.
"We are really just ecstatic," said Jennifer Halley, East Jackson Elementary School principal. "We have a wonderful team of teachers and staff members that comes together to do what is best for our students."
The Georgia School of Excellence honor was bestowed upon the 26 schools that had shown the greatest improvement or highest achievement among all schools statewide.
East Jackson Elementary School is the only school in Hall or Jackson counties to receive the title of distinction.
Three schools in nearby Forsyth County — Otwell Middle, Sharon Elementary and South Forsyth High — were among the selected Schools of Excellence.
A school from each Congressional district is given the Georgia School of Excellence title for either being in the top 10 percent of schools as measured by reading and mathematics assessments or by demonstrating the highest continuous gains in student achievement for the past three years on reading and mathematics exams.
East Jackson Elementary School received recognition for its students making the greatest gains during a three-year period.
Halley said helping students consistently make academic gains is a continual process that takes a team effort.
"Our vision statement is 'The relentless pursuit of educational excellence,' and our staff really carries that out. They really do whatever it takes to get the job done," Halley said.
"We do a number of things to help our students succeed. One thing that we do is differentiated instruction and small groups. We no longer try to do whole-group teaching, instead we utilize small groups and bring in other support staff to assist the classroom teacher."
Student achievement doesn't just stop with the paid school officials, Halley said parental involvement also plays an important role in a student's academic success.
"It's not just our teachers and staff, our parents are also instrumental in our students' success," Halley said. "Our parents are very involved. Whenever we ask them to come to the school for PTO meetings, holiday meals or conferences, they are always there."
The 2008 Georgia Schools of Excellence will be honored at a banquet in January at the Georgia International Conference Center.

Viewers click on to poll spoofs
IN A campaign rendered almost lifeless by carefully calibrated messages, a young law student's spoof videos on YouTube have garnered more attention than most of the major parties' professionally produced online announcements.
Hugh Atkin, a 23-year-old Sydney University arts-law student, has produced 29 spoof videos and put them on YouTube.
The most popular, his inspired mashup of a Chinese Communist Party propaganda film with the story of "the mighty Rudd ascension", has been viewed by 69,140 people.
Mr Atkin's mangled translation of the original script talks of how "topmost politician Rudd" joins with the "great and androgynous Gillard" to "vanquish wordful and corpulent Beazley" before unnerving "decrepit Howard by deploying clever principle of "similar difference".
The only online announcement by either of the major parties to have scored more views than the Chinese propaganda video is one by the Kevin 07 team, Tell Kevin Rudd what issues you are passionate about, with 100,799 views. Of the Liberal Party's 34 video media releases on YouTube, the most popular has collected only 21,631 views. In this video release Prime Minister John Howard responds to the Opposition Leader's online release condemning the Liberal Party's advertisements as a scare campaign.
Mr Atkin's most recent spoof was posted less than a week ago. Kevin 007: The Man with the Golden Jaw has already been viewed by almost 6000 people. It splices footage from the James Bond film Diamonds are Forever with some of Mr Rudd's oft-repeated pronouncements. Mr Rudd's words are spoken by agent 007, while the PM's are spoken by Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Much of the humour comes from watching a bevy of Bond girls falling over the dweeby Mr Rudd as he impresses them with his knowledge of Reserve Bank pronouncements and climate change policy.
Mr Atkin has been making spoof videos for only four months. He has written material for the Sydney University law revue and entered a short film in the Tropfest competition.
He said the language used in the voice-over of his spoof video was taken from a Chinese propaganda film made in the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese war. He wants Labor to win but is keen to mock it along the way. "I enjoy doing these videos, and it's particularly nice when people find them entertaining."
Those looking for his latest will need to wait a few days. For the past week he has been studying for the final exam in his law degree, advanced contract law, which he sits today.
As of Friday, Mr Rudd's staff appropriated Mr Atkin's Kevin 007 spoof for their "Super spoof Friday" blog, recommending it to supporters.

text: I use to drive a 95' Ford E-250 van for work. It was bought new in late 95. I started driven it with only 138 miles on it. I used that van for 5 years and 2 months and put 319,000 miles on it. I average over 60,000 miles a year and had 2 weeks vacation each year. I don't know if it is still running. I no longer work for that company. I was just wondering if any of you have driving a car and put on that many miles and if you did if you did it in that short of time.

those neighbors stories....?
how about a story section for everybody to tell about that neighbor that you could just punch...:eek:.. in the mouth :thumbsup:...or the few that you would do anything for...:wink:
Sorry...no bad neighbor stories here....I'm on beer drinking terms with all of mine...in fact, a couple of them have a key to the house....we look out for each other...
Me too. The mean one moved away a long time ago
No problems here either. Neighbor to the west is an Ironman tri-athelete. Nice quiet, unassuming guy. He was a tunnel rat in Vietnam...Has told some very interesting stories.
Neighbor to the east is a single lady, works for the school...keeps her house immaculate inside and out. Past her is my wifes aunt and uncle and on the other side of them is a friend of mine who I have know since 1st grade
Across the street is the neighborhood "grouchy old man". I have no problems with him as when I had my plow truck I used to plow his driveway. He thinks the world of me.
We are on good terms with everyone on our street. At very least friendly wave when we go by and the better ones...parties at each others houses.
1 of my neighbors is a real dip ****. the other side, they are real nice.
I'm afraid that if I talk, they will get on here and read what I typed.
Thats why you are supposed to say "I have a friend who's neighbour is such a..."
On one side of me is a retired postal worker in his late 70's who has lived in that house for almost 50 years. Mows his lawn at least 3x a week.
On the other side is a younger couple with three kids - two in HS and one graduated, I think. Of course they all live at home, because apparently kids don't move out anymore.
Definitely hit hte neighbor lottery.
In my old place, I lived in a duplex, and the attached neighbors were an older couple. The wife had a thing for teddy bears... a DISTURBING thing. Every square inch of space in thier apartment was teddy bears. Display cases everywhere, shelves, along the stair runners, teddy bears teddy bears teddy bears.
Still, nice folks, if that's the worst you get I guess you consider yourself lucky. :)
I am sandwiched on both sides by Dayton police officers. So I remain on my best behavior.
The young one to the north is a health zealot. Coffee & donuts would be offensive to him for all the wrong reasons.
And some of you will see the irony in my comments....
To my north I once had the Wicked Witch of the West, for real. You know the type. Don't step on my lawn, blah, blah, blah. She would blame me for the ground moles in her yard saying I brought them in with the new load of topsoil I put in my front yard. She would call the police because I left my garage door up so all the neighbors (just her) could see "all that junk in there." She was so tight with her money that she never updated the inside of her house. Built in the 1940's she never replaced the carpet, never painted a wall, never put in new kitchen counters, etc. She ate a can of peas and a scoop of neopolitan ice cream for her ONE meal a day. What a character. She passed away at age 90 and her house is now the neighborhood playground. She is truly rolling over in her grave.
When I moved in, all of my neighbors told me that the lady across the street was crazy and to avoid her. After meeting them all, I think they are all crazy, and the one who they claimed was crazy is the nicest person on the block.

Covered California Glitch Wipes Out Applications
Covered California is advising customers who may have started online applications during a recent software glitch to start over. The malfunction hit the state's online health exchange from February 17th through the 19th. Covered California says there weren't any security issues. If you started an application during that time, you'll need to resubmit. Any changes made to existing policies will need to be checked for accuracy. The glitch caused Covered California to take their site offline last weekend.

"My study abroad experience was the most important part of my Linfield experience. Being in Korea, I was able to meet people from all over the world. Also, because Korean customs are so different from home, I was really forced to learn a different culture. I really feel that going abroad has internationalized me. I can truly say I will never be the same."

After struggling in group play, the Americans dominated the Koreans, winners of Group D, getting two goals from forward Courtney Verloo, one from forward Vicki DiMartino -- the fourth straight game she has scored -- and a thunderbolt strike from Kristie Mewis.
The Americans outshot South Korea, 20-5, and got strong performances from the center back Cloee Colohan, outside backs Crystal Dunn and Rachel Quon and defensive midfielder Amber Brooks.
"I was really proud of the effort," said U.S. coach Kazbek Tambi. "The kids got a bit better with every game and culminating with their best game today so it was great to be able to play the best game in the World Cup quarterfinals."
The key goal was Mewis' goal that gave the Americans a 2-0 lead early in the second half, shortly after the Koreans came close to being awarded a penalty that could have tied the score.
She crushed a left-footed shot from about 23 yards out that flew into the upper right corner, giving Korean goalkeeper Lee Hyo Ju no chance.
"It was a fantastic shot," Tambi said. "We told them that given the number shots from outside that have gotten in during in this tournament, that we had to get that into our game as well and Kristie hit a beauty. There was no better goal on the day. I'm as much of a fan of the game as a coach and that was a great goal."
Germany eliminated Canada, 3-1, on Saturday. In the other semifinal, England will meet North Korea. England upset Japan, which had beaten the USA and scored 17 goals in three group games, on penalty kicks after their game ended in a 2-2 tie. North Korea dominated Denmark, 4-0.
Germany was the only group winner to survive the quarterfinals.

The United Nations
technology body, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), is
calling for a wider use of technology projects in helping countries
adapt to climate change.
At the Durban Summit last week, the ITU
released a study focusing on how an ICT project allowed Ghanas
cocoa industry to become more resilient to the effects of climate
change. The ITU said Ghanas case should set an example for other
developing countries.
The study focuses on
how ICT can be used in optimising production by, for example, sharing
information in real time between producers and end users, said Dr
Bilel Jamoussi, chief of the ITUs Study Groups department, in an
interview with Business Green.
He said ICT has, in general, been
overlooked as a tool for helping developing countries adapt, and that
Ghanas case demonstrates the value that these countries can find
in technology projects.
Its a really
good sign that these countries are seeing how they can adapt, he
said. These countries are not always big producers of greenhouse
gases, but they are the most affected [by climate change].
The ITU believes that ICT has in
general been overlooked as a way of helping stem climate change and
to adapt to its effects, Jamoussi said.
Our key goal is
that ICT is viewed as an enabler and plays a central role in
adaptation and mitigation, Jamoussi told Business Green. Our
report and recommendations are a concrete example of that.
As part of its wider
support of ICTs role in mitigating climate change, the ITU has
created a set of standardized methodologies for assessing the impact
of ICT on the environment, and has participated in other initiatives
such as the development of a standardized, energy-efficient mobile
phone charger.
The ITU gave its approval for the
concept for a universal phone charger in 2009, with the aim of
drastically reducing the number of chargers produced, shipped and
subsequently discarded as new models become available.

We offer observations on the human condition from a 21 year old mind trapped in an 81 year old body.
Always challenge what is easy to believe.
We seek to explain what we do not know and rarely seek to explain what we know.
Some to emphasize place face in palm of hand.
I am Earth born but my mind comes from another planet.
Waiters serve with right hand.
There are times when the wise man keeps silent.
There are times in life when the wise man says it like it is.
The human mind contains mysteries we will never know.
Curiosity did not kill the cat, the dog did.
Lap tops decrease thinking.
We need a new ceremony to commemorate when lap tops meet.
I am a right shoulder person for all things carried.
It has been a decade since I last wore a suit to work,.
An extended family provides roots for life.
I saw three lap tops meeting for breakfast.
Few in America would deny a dog access to health care, as for people….
Some peer at mechanical objects, some peer into soul.
To reflect on life is to relive it.
Some fear the dawn, some fear the night, but no one fears mid-day.

Developers in Mexico and Israel who have already been using an Adsense Merchant account to sell apps, have to switch to a Google Play developer account in their local currency. Google says developers in those two countries will be receiving an email from the Mountain View based tech giant detailing how to migrate to a new Google Play developer account.
Since app buyers in the Czech Republic, Israel, Poland, and Mexico will be able to make Google Play purchases in their native currency, Google suggests that all developers head to the Developer Console to set prices for their apps in the four new currencies that are now accepted.

Goes Beyond Just the Xoom
By ehgreen

Comments about oreilly Motorola Xoom: The Missing Manual:
Ah, the joy of discovering a new Tablet. When the Motorola Xoom appeared in my local Costco warehouse, I immediately purchased one to learn about it.Alas, the box contained only a small leaflet with too few details to understand the power of the Xoom, which essentially came from the Android Honeycomb operating "platform".That evening, I found my solution: O'Reilly Publishing had recognized the need for one more of "the missing manual series, with the obvious title of "Motorola Xoom".Author Preston Gralla shows his computing credentials in this his 40th book. Many bear the respected O'Reilly imprint.The book is written for a newbie to tablets and other "tapping" devices. If you have already mastered an Android phone, you can jump right into the advanced material. But for "late or non-adopters" of smart-phone gear, the essential first chapter brings one up to date easily and quickly, as the fundamentals of the Android platform are basically cross version and cross device.Much of the Xoom / Android's power comes from the bundled Apps, some of which may be familiar to power users of the Google collections. The book covers these apps one-by-one, with no expectation one has previously had any experience with them.Much of the book is "cross device", applicable to most of the proliferation of Tablets. That is except the defunct HP attempt, the lame Research in Motion version, and, of course, not for the popular Apple iPad line.I found most of my questions answered for the Acer Iconia tablet also. This is because the Xoom device was the "reference implementation" of the Honeycomb release.The book is also available in a variety of e-Book formats. I did not use these in my basic learning because I wanted to have the full function of the device available when reading a book about the Xoom. So I loaded the e-Book pdf format onto my PC, and had the benefit of "dual processing" on two processors.What might be good for the next version would be to improve the size and readability of the icons in the book. They mimic the size and "white-on-black" style of the tablet's icons. For easy recognition, the more conventional iconic representation in printed material of "black-on-white" is recommended.Because of the Google planned acquisition of Motorola, this book has an extended shelf life. Certainly as new versions of Android become available, it would be useful to have the "base" which is well delivered in this book.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

whimsikel Review
Poor, cheap quality
Haven't used the regular charger yet since I still have the one my phone came with but the car charger sucks. I've used it less than 10 times to charge my phone while driving and the part that you stick into your phone suddenly broke/dislodged exposing the thin wires inside. So it won't charge my phone now. I got it in early April, started using it a week after I got it and now, in early May, it's broken and unusable. Terrible quality and poorly made. I've had other car chargers for other phones I've had in the past and they've lasted me for months and are still in good condition to this date.
- Did the image onsite match the product? Yes
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Maybe...
- How is the quality of the product? Terrible

A must-read
January 26, 2013
Dear Editor:
Anyone who considers themselves an Aspen local must read the first offering by true local Tom Elder, "It's All About the Timing."
Following the "Quiet Years," it fictionally chronicles, sometimes scathingly, the change of old, casual Aspen into the complex megabucks resort it is today. If you want to bitch about "the good ole days," it's here in print for you with many of our current residents not so thinly disguised. It's also about how some of us old fa*** are learning to grow older, gracefully or not. You can find it at Explore Booksellers on Main Street.

I'm starting a bag pattern which calls for an invisible cast on. I tried following the instructions with the pattern and then came to the videos here at KH to follow, but for the life of me I just can't get this method. I searched the 'Net and came up with several videos at You Tube. One of them used a waste yarn and working yarn in a long tail CO method which was simple for me to follow. You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oPY1OD82ms&feature=channel
Since I can do this CO, am I being a "communist" by not using what is considered an invisible CO. Or, is this CO just as simple to open and pick up as the recommended CO?
Can the two methods be used interchangeably? At this point (just starting the project) I don't see much difference, but I'd hate to get to the time to pick up the provisional stitches and find out this method doesn't work.
Thanks for your input knitters!
Using another yarn to just CO any way you want is still a provisional CO. When you need to pick up the stitches, just cut the scrap yarn and pick off.

There are news reports in France that Lyon manager Hubert Fournier wants to have talks in the next week with Newcastle targets Alexandre Lacazette and Clement Grenier and the news is he is anxious to keep the two top young players at the club, and that could be bad news for Newcastle United, with both players said to be top targets at the Tyneside club.
Hubert Fournier – two year deal at Lyon
This is what And Fournier has said in the French press:
"I'll take the opportunity to have individual interviews with players." "We'll talk about the rules of the group and collective and individual goals." "We'll keep the forces that make up our work force."
Grenier is still on vacation as is Lacazette, as both were in the provisional squad for France preparing for the World Cup, but Lyon are back in pre-season training.
23 year-old Grenier made the full 23 man French squad but was injured and had to be replaced, but Alexandre missed out to Loic Remy, who of course was on loan for a season at Newcastle and could be signing for Arsenal in the near future.
And those statements by new manager Fournier could also be a negotiating ploy by Lyon to drive up the price of the two players, if in fact they want to leave the French club this summer.
But it seems the chances of negotiating cheap deals with Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas for these two players could be difficult – and we all know that Mike Ashley wants good players brought into the club – but only wants to pay peanuts for them.
Maybe it's just us, but reading the tea leaves right now, nothing looks too good in terms of getting some of our top targets to the club – and we need to move down the list if we cannot get the top targets in.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.
