Let me put this plainly: Sin is ugly.
When we commit sins we are ugly too. God is beautiful, true and good. When we strive for a virtuous life we reflect God's goodness and become beautiful too.
So if sin is ugly and goodness, beautiful, why would any of us choose evil outright? How do any of us fall into a sin?
The devil is tricky. We start with the small sins. We justify that it is no big deal and we try to ignore that voice of warning in our heads.
The next time we commit bigger sins and slowly numb our consciences. Soon, it is easier to choose wrongly and we get used to living in sin and acting against the will of God. When this happens, the intellect is darkened and the will is weakened. We find it harder to resist temptation and we might even question why this act is a sin at all. Sin becomes habitual and the light (or making good choices) becomes too painful. The ugliness is actually more attractive than the beauty.
The man who struggles with a pornography addiction allows his longing to consume him. He lacks motivation and is devoid of any real relationships. He prefers pleasure to any lasting happiness. The corrosive addiction separates him from God and he doubts whether he can ever resist his selfish desires.
Is there hope for someone so steeped in ugliness?
God did not leave us to die in our sins. Christ gained the right to forgive us of all of our sins through his suffering and death on the cross. No matter how heinous the crime, Christ stands in the position to forgive and redeem mankind.
No matter how great or small, we are all sinners. As Catholics we have the opportunity of renewal in the sacrament of confession. Christ is waiting for us to take that step back to him. The priest is the person of Christ, so as you kneel in that confessional, believe that you are whispering your sins into the ear of Christ himself! When the priest gives you absolution you are completely forgiven of your sins and your soul reflects Beauty Itself. By following God's will, we become icons of God's beauty.
There are those who die to self for the love of Christ and sacrifice the things of the world for the things of heaven. Mother Teresa worked tirelessly with the poor, but never sought recognition or praise. She gave generously because she saw Christ in each person. As single Catholics, we have great opportunity to serve others and offer up our own gifts.
The beauty of living a Christian life is powerful. We become evangelizers of beauty just by living our Christian lives. People start to notice something different about us and ask: Why do you go to Mass on Sunday? What would provoke someone to pray outside an abortion clinic while being mocked and persecuted? Why do Christians continue to believe in a God when there is so much suffering in the world? What is different about them? Why are they so joyful?
The Lord beautifies the life of a Christian to attract others to the Beauty within. This beauty gives rise to joy and delight and draws those who are seeking peace, attracts those who are seeking happiness and captivates those who are seeking real love. The world needs to see Christ's face. Let Christ reflect through you.

The great thing about the NFL is that there are so many positions that every year, there is almost always at least one player who has a breakout year on every team, no matter how good or bad the team is. This is the part in a 32 part segment detailing one potential breakout player for the 2012 NFL season on each NFL team. For the Dallas Cowboys, that player is defensive end Sean Lissemore. At defensive end, the Cowboys used a rotation of 4 different players at 2 spots in 2012. Those 4 players were Jason Hatcher, Kenyon Coleman, Marcus Spears, and Sean Lissemore. With the exception of Lissemore, none of those guys were very good and none played more than 428 snaps. The Cowboys drafted Tyrone Coleman in the 3rd round so he should see snaps at the position this year, but they've said they'll be giving Lissemore a bigger role this year, possibly even making him a starter. The veteran Coleman (33) likely will be cut. Lissemore, as I've already mentioned, was their best player at the posi...

WBEC Drops Limbaugh Show
WBEC is the second radio station in the country to drop Limbaugh, with the first being station KPUA in Hilo, Hawaii. Limbaugh's show ran weekdays from noon to 3.
The news of WBEC and the Hawaii radio station dropping the shock jock's show made national news, including a special report by MSNBC, prompting a number of phone calls in support of the decision to drop Limbaugh. It should be noted that WBEC also received some phone calls complaining about it.
Stations in Boston, Springfield, Worcester and Cape Cod still carry the show, according to Limbaugh's website.
Last week, Limbaugh called a Georgetown University Law student a "slut" and a "prostitute" after she testified before congressional Democrats about women's access to contraception and health insurance.
More than a dozen advertisers have pulled out of the syndidated show, heard by some 13 million, and there's an ongoing Twitter and Facebook assault against sponsors.
Limbaugh, who posted an apology to Sandra Fluke on his website, wrote that his show had been the "best opportunity" for advertisers. "They've decided they don't want you or your business anymore. So be it," he wrote on his site.

|Now see, McNuggets, if Rush had made THAT statement, he wouldn't be where he is right now. If he had simply addressed the issue and not resorted to a personal attack on someone because, oh my, she had the nerve to state her opinion publicly - what a crime - no one would have said a word.
I can't wait for your comment on how unfair it is that 'only conservatives are punished for things like this,' which is inevitably coming. Before it does, here are some facts...
Bill Mahar made a stupid comment about 9-11, and he lost his ABC talk show. He's on Showtime or HBO now, don't know which, and neither rises to the level of a Rush Limbaugh audience, and never will.
Don Imus made his stupid comment about the women's basketball team, his highly-rated radio show was gone in weeks. He's back on now, doesn't have nearly the same audience level as before.
This has happened countless times to people on the right and left, and as the saying goes... the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Despite the rush of sponsors leaving, I doubt Rush is done. As with the banks bailed out... he might be "too big to fail."

Reproductive health is a helluva lot more complex than a cheap generic pill or a rubber. The fact that many conservatives, including Limbaugh, do not seem to understand that, is a pathetic joke.

|Please note that the issue isn't whether or not insurance covers contraception. The issue is whether or not the federal government can dictate to religious institutions (or any other institution for that matter) what they must provide in their insurance plans.
Apparently religious freedom is a small price to pay for 'free' birth control.

It's hard finding a commentator who is unbiased towards either side.

|@McNuggets- The institutions in question had already been excused from the requirement, but since group insurance with contraceptive coverage is actually cheaper than coverage without, the insurance companies would have had to use the savings to offer coverage to women should they need it.
Certain conservatives are trying to use the religious freedom issue as a wedge, when in fact, that no longer applies, to try and rehash the entire debate about the Affordable Care Act. Others, the RC Bishops in particular, seem very concerned that employees of institutions affiliated with their church might actually have access to affordable birth control whether or not they are members of the church.
The first argument is nonsense and the second one sounds more like a problem with the church being unable to get its people to follow stupid doctrine set by old men who can only think about sex (hence this is about sex rather than insurance in their minds.)
The right has been 100% dishonest about this conversation from the beginning and Rush is only exploding pimple of the lies being told. He is getting what he deserves. I only wish that was true of the rest of liars.

I Agree (15) - I Disagree (2)
Lets be honest. While im sure the station disagrees with what Rush said, to cancel the show does them some good. They have been receiveing national attention all day from almost all the major media outlets. In a small county where keeping a radio station in business can be a struggle, this should get them some much need advertising dollars.
Also, if I recall, this isnt the first time in recent local berkshire memory that someone has been thrown off the air for something they said. Radio station owners have the right to air and not air what they want. Its that simple.

The "both sides do it" cop out is a acknowledgment that someone doesn't understand the argument.
One side is talking about insurance coverage and the other is lying and trying say that women want to be paid $3000 for rampant slutty sex.
Not even close. The Switzerland argument is cowardice.

I Agree (9) - I Disagree (1)
|Nope. You seem to be under the impression that Obama caved on the HHS mandate. That is simply not true. The federal mandate that insurance companies provide contraceptives and abortion-related services still stands. Shifting the burden doesn't suddenly make it constitutional.
Nobody on the right wants to limit access to contraceptives. That is simply a leftist strawman intended to further the "republicans hate women" narrative that we have all come to know. The issue here is whether or not the federal government has the authority to mandate that companies provide these things for free. They do not. You may think they should, but that is a separate issue.
Imagine the federal government mandating that Muslim organizations had to serve bacon. While I love bacon, certainly it is within the rights of Muslim organizations to not provide it for free to their employees/students. Does this mean that I am in favor of restricting access to bacon?
Nobody is forced to attend a Jesuit law school. There are plenty of schools where the insurance does cover such products. She still has access to birth control and abortion related services, she simply has to pay for them. What a tragedy.
You may disagree with the catholic position on birth control. It is entirely acceptable to do so. I would join you in that belief. What is unacceptable is to foist our beliefs on them. This type of federal intrusion on religious freedom is expressly prohibited by the first amendment.

|McNuggets- Where do people get this idea that all religiously affiliated institutions are exempt from any and all laws it might disagree with?
It simply is not true. Churches themselves enjoy certain freedoms in the way they worship (peyote and cannabis in religious ceremonies, anyone?), or ministerial employees not having civil rights protections (recent SCOTUS case), but this is not like that at all.
I'll believe the Catholic Bishops' (and the Limbaugh wing of the right) are sincere the day they argue that Catholics should be allowed to refuse to pay the portion of their taxes that go towards nuclear weaponry.

|Maybe Limbaugh ought to put a disclaimer at the start of his show that it is not to be mistaken for political discourse.
I have heard him spew other vile attacks such as "liberals ought to be hanged"... boy, that's biting the hand that feeds you, isn't it? It's because of our country's liberal views on free speech that he is even allowed to incite violence without any repercussions.
Good riddance!

|I did not realize that this woman was forced to go to Georgetown University. If their policies conflict with her beliefs than she is free to pursue her law degree at an institution that gives out contraception.
If she is being held at Georgetown against her will we need congressional hearings ASAP to investigate. I am concerned for her well being.

Editor: I think we are confusing generic contraception with birth control. This is not about rubbers; it's about prescription medicine and whether it should be covered by insurance.
|I Agree (11) - I Disagree (4)
|Mr. Limbaugh's show was aired on the station BECAUSE of what he had said in the past. Mr. Limbaugh's show was dropped from being aired on the station BECAUSE of what he said last week.

God and Japan's Suffering
Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara apologized Tuesday for earlier comments in which he explained that "divine punishment" was the cause of both the earthquake and subsequent tsunami which have devastated Japan, caused the deaths of thousands and the suffering of an entire nation. Mr. Shintaro "took back" his comments because he said that in making them, he failed to take into account the "feeling of the victims."
Not surprisingly, this kind of theological calculus is being used by members of many communities to explain the horrible events which have befallen the Japanese people. I have been treated to videos by Christians, sermons by Jews and many examples of "explanations" which assert that this was all a matter of sin and divine retribution.
Japan is a highly secular country to be sure, so it was somewhat more surprising to see that approach taken up by a leading Japanese politician, but given the circumstances, it's not at all shocking. It may be deeply upsetting to many of us, but it should not be so shocking.
After all, it would be deeply comforting to imagine that we could draw immediately corresponding lines of connection between our actions and those of God. It would really helpful to know if we simply stopped doing certain things; we could assure ourselves that no such tragedies would befall people in Japan or anywhere else.
I wish that we lived in a world where a few already known alterations of belief or practice would guarantee the safety of all people. It would be worth doing pretty much anything to get that, wouldn't it? So I appreciate that what sounds at first like a pretty weird, or even offensive, analysis of world events, can be enormously helpful to some people in returning order and hope to lives that feel stripped of both. But appreciating it doesn't mean that I find it acceptable.
The fact that such theologies may comfort some people privately, in no way excuses those people from imposing their views on others who may find them the height of insensitivity. But it's not simply bad manners or timing which is the problem; it is a fundamental disconnection from those who are suffering – a feeling of distance from their pain which actually renders the directing of such theologies at the lives of others, offensive.
Mr. Shintaro talked about his failure to account for the feelings of "the victims." One wonders why he doesn't count himself among them. While he may have lost no loved ones, his nation is suffering, and yet he sees his role as that of theology instructor, not as a leader who shares in the suffering of his community. Once someone approaches a tragedy from that perspective, it's unlikely that they will ever have anything too helpful to say.
People may ask where God is at such moments, and whatever the answer is, if the one answering speaks as if God is with them, but not with those whose suffering they hope to explain, it's time for them to stop talking. That is a lesson which neither Mr. Shinatro, nor anyone else using the suffering of others as a proof text for their own views, has yet to learn.
Finally, we should not miss either the irony or the insight contained in the sin which the Tokyo governor felt explained these disasters – "egoism." If egoism is the sin, then the important question to ask, especially for a leader, is not where others went wrong, but where they went wrong. Anything less embodies the very sin which Shintaro sees as the cause of Japan's suffering.
It would actually be quite powerful for leaders who believe that human behavior and divine response are both interrelated and interdependent, to stand before their followers and ask where they as leaders have gone wrong. It would have been moving and even potentially helpful for Mr. Shintaro to apply his theological musings to himself before turning them on others.
Of course, that is what we are called to do – apply that which we most deeply believe to ourselves. I have a feeling that if everybody did that, whatever the cause of Japan's suffering may be, Japan, its people and all the rest of us would be much the better for it.

Flew to the east coast today. My flight was pretty crummy and I sat next to a very farty old lady. The best part was that @wilwheaton was on my flight and I finally had the courage to say hello!
I cried this morning when I thought about how long it had been since she died. Nothing makes you feel quite so old as realizing your mother has been gone for 29 years.
Spoke to my father about how sick my stepmother's sister is. Her brain has been taken over with cancer. Did he realize what day it was? Did he think of her...

Last year, Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partners restored 3,775 acres of wetlands in the Bay watershed according to the program's habitat team tracking these efforts. This is the rough equivalent of 2,855 football-fields-worth of newly created or re-established wetland habitats. These 2011 efforts of federal, state and non-governmental partnerships build on the 14,795 wetland acres established from 1998 to 2010 and represent a solid start for the Bay jurisdictions toward meeting the goal of restoring 30,000 acres and rejuvenating 150,000 acres of these vital landscapes across the Bay's region by 2025.
During the 2012 hurricane season, wetlands along the edges of streams, creeks, rivers and the Bay will play a critical role in healthy waters. Marshes and wetlands are the Bay's buffers, providing unique habitats for fish and wildlife while stabilizing shorelines and protecting properties from floods and wave action. In times of heavy rains, wetlands act like a sponge, soaking up and holding large amounts of flood and stormwater runoff and gradually releasing it over time. As runoff slowly filters through the wetland, nutrients, suspended sediments and chemical contaminants in the runoff are absorbed by the soils and plants before they can flow to nearby waterways. Wetlands are especially important in urban areas where development and impervious surfaces increase the velocity and volume of polluted stormwater runoff headed for local waters.
Annual data and impacts of the late storms in 2011 illustrate the important role wetlands have in the ecosystem. Last year, suspended sediment and algae in the Bay's waters resulted in only five percent of tidal waters meeting CBP's goals for clarity, an all time low. Sediment-laden runoff was also a contributing factor in the 21 percent decline in acres of the Bay's underwater grasses which need good water clarity to grow. Increased nutrients to the Bay meant lower levels of dissolved oxygen. Finally, preliminary analysis showed that oyster beds across the region were inundated by silt, making it very difficult for oysters to survive. While wetlands alone are not going to stop excess nutrients and sediment from reaching the Bay, strong, healthy ones are clearly vital to reducing impacts of polluted runoff on other natural resources and supporting the Bay's resilience.
Wetlands Restored in 2011:

And ultimately, this is why corrie was where she was: Because Israel has treated the Gaza Strip as a war zone since 1967.
But the driver testified that he failed to see corrie because his field vision from inside the bulldozer was narrow.
He denied the corrie family's demand for a symbolic $1 in damages.
corrie's spirit was in a tumultuous and very rebellious state.
I know why corrie did it, too; he didn't want us to be together all day.
She was tall, slim, and graceful, light of foot as a deer on the corrie.
It was impossible to be more safe from drowning than corrie was at that time.
But whatever corrie had to endure then or at any time, he was quite masculine enough to hurry it out of sight.
corrie and I quarrel over that every time we are out together.
His letters to corrie, his old Cambridge junior, are frank and free.

We join Chief Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) tribe for dinner.
I am assured by the best interpreters in the country, that it bears no affinity to the Cree, Sioux, or Chipewyan languages.
It is that of a young Chipewyan who lost his wife in her first pregnancy.
While the boys watched them, this aged and emaciated Chipewyan also dropped on his knees and hastily cut off four strips of flesh.
Chipewyan is a bird paradise; the whole woods are vocal to-day.
"Hail them in the Chipewyan tongue," said Mackenzie, as the canoes touched the beach.
Our way back on the Grahame to Chipewyan is not without adventure.
These short details will convey an idea of the anxiety and trouble these officers experienced in their journey to Chipewyan.
The very first man we hunt out in Edmonton is Mr. Wyllie of Chipewyan.
I'm going back to Chipewyan, and I will take my family with me.

State Tops Nation in Access to Early Education, But Red Flags Raised
MIAMI (AP) - Florida now has the highest percentage of 4-year-old children nationwide enrolled in a state prekindergarten program. But a new report is warning that funding and quality are so low the state may see little return on its investment.
A National Institute for Early Education Research report finds that 76 percent of 4-year-old children are enrolled in the state's voluntary pre-kindergarten program. Yet state funding per child enrolled is significantly lower than the nationwide average.
Florida's voluntary prekindergarten program also only meets three of 10 quality standards measurements, which include teacher preparation requirements and class size.
The director of the Officer of Early Learning says the program has shown positive results, with nearly 77 percent scoring as "kindergarten ready" on two assessments last school year.

Remote Starter on 2005 Deville
Thanks in advance for any advise. I just purchased this car last night, I live in MN and unfortunately do not have a garage I have always had remote starters on my vehicles in the past and would like to install one on this car as well but after researching online it seems it is not recommended due to all the electrical components, is this true?
Re: Remote Starter on 2005 Deville
True. The install has to take into account that the car's wiring system is also a serial data bus for control and diagnostics, and the sound system head unit is part of the security and TheftLock warning systems.
Do an improper install and you lose one or more indicators and chimes, as well as botch up the security system. Several members have wound up with a no-start condition (using the key and ignition switch) due to a bad install.
The job can be done, but it takes a good installer and care.
Leaving a car sitting, idling for more than a very few minutes, is really hard on the engine...........better to get in, start up, let the fast idle drop from 1,200 to 900 rpm, then drive away normally. The engine will then warm up much faster and you run less chance of raw gasoline condensing on and washing the oil film from cylinder walls.

On the surface level, many people think that delivering items are easy tasks, and courier companies are having an easy time. What is so hard about collecting a parcel at a location, and then going over to another location to deliver it? Any people with or without education will be able to do this job. Well, if you are saying that the courier only have a few deliveries to handle everyday, then it might be true – it's not so hard after all. However, things are certainly not so simple if there are volumes. Couriers have many different places to run everyday. Coupled with the sophisticated route plannings and delivery timing restrictions, it does require some expertise for the courier companies to be able to deliver all the items promptly to every locations.
Besides, the above is only talking about the ground operations of couriers. There are many other processes and operations that takes place daily inside any local parcel delivery company in Singapore to take in customer orders, sort out the orders, allocate manpower to fulfill the orders, and keep track of them. The logistics industry in Singapore (where logistics has one of the highest volumes in the world) possess some of the world's most complex systems.
In sequential order, let's start from the moment customer made an order with the parcel delivery company. The company will record the order inside its spreadsheet or software and assign a tracking number to the order. This will facilitate tracking of the parcels throughout the entire chain processes. After which, the parcel delivery company will look at the schedules of their couriers on the ground and figure out which courier to allocate the delivery too. Ideally, the locations that the courier needs to travel to for this new delivery will be near the locations of his existing deliveries. This will cut down traveling time. Some courier companies make it a point to spread couriers out into different regions in Singapore. The couriers will only conduct deliveries within their respective regions. (Even companies like DHL will go so far that they'll only make left turns in right hand drive countries like Singapore, and never execute a right turn to save time.) When the couriers finish their deliveries, they will update their colleagues in the office who will then update the customers.

Hi & welcome! I'm new to this forum aswell. Your car looks spotless ! What plans do you have for it?
Hi, i'm planning to go for a euro-type look. Black or gun metal rims with a chrome lip and the back windows tinted.
Sound sweet! What size wheels are you going for & are you putting a lip on the front bumper?
Planing on 19" rims and coilovers(which i already have). And not to go too over the top, i am slapping the priordesign front bumper(ordered) on only! I love the look and shape of the e46, so i dont want to change it to much with a full bodykit.
Any plans & pics of/for yours?
I havent seen the priordesign bumper yet, but it sounds like you have great plans for it. Mine has 18" wheels and the mtec kit and springs with a few extra mods such as angel eyes, black kidney grills, tinted windows. I'll try take some nice pictures this weekend or when i get it cleaned, the weather here is so crap!
Got my priordesign front bumper from germany this week, and added angel eyes.

RBLI and Museum collaborate to take Veterans on a trip down memory lane
18 Armed Forces Veterans, residents and staff from the Royal British Legion Village in Aylesford were invited to Maidstone Museum on Saturday, 4 November 2012 for a regimental roadshow.
The residents, who are themselves Armed Forces veterans or their descendants, brought along military artefacts and medals to have their origins explained by Museum staff and the Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment Living History Group.
Museum staff and The Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment Living History Group members, who attended in full uniform from various time periods and theatres of conflict, answered residents' questions about the history of the local area, the artefacts on display and the Royal West Kent Regiment.
The event was rounded off with a visit to the Cenotaph War Memorial at Brenchley Gardens. Here the residents, having spent the morning learning and remembering about significant periods of history, were able to pay their respects in the tranquil setting of the Victorian gardens.
Newly appointed Community Health and Wellbeing Officer for RBLI, Nina Montoya, said, "Maidstone Museum put on a fantastic morning for our veterans and residents. The residents greatly appreciated their expert knowledge and loved the enthusiasm and kindness shown by staff. Especially pleasing was that those residents who have limited mobility were very well looked after, as the museum is fully equipped to cater for their needs.
"I look forward to the continued partnership with the Museum and the local living history group throughout the next few years and am excited by the combined ideas from both parties for future events."
Simon Lace AMA, Museums and Heritage Manager, said of the collaboration, "We were delighted to welcome our visitors from RBLI and to have the opportunity to show them our fantastic new facilities and the full range of activities that we can now offer.
We are looking forward to developing a partnership with the RBLI which will offer their residents greater access to our shared local heritage and allow the Museum, with the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the Great War in 2014 on the horizon, to strengthen links with Armed Forces Veterans."

[AMERICANS ABROAD] German-American teenager Julian Green scored three goals in the second half as Bayern Munich beat Fanclub Wildenau, 15-1, Saturday in the annual FC Bayern Dream Game that had special significance. It was the coaching debut of new coach Pep Guardiola. And if that was not enough, Green followed that up with a team-high three goals Sunday in another win over an area amateur team, this time 9-1 against TSV Regen, which was celebrating its 125th anniversary.
Green, 18, is the son of a father who served in the U.S. military and a German mother and has lived in Germany since he was 2. The winger scored 10 goals in 26 games for
Bayern's A-Jugend team in 2012-13. He has played for the U.S. under-18 national team and is eligible to play in the 2015 Under-20 World Cup.
Besides the three goals by Green, Bayern got
four goals from youngster Patrick Weihrauch, two each from French star Franck Ribery and Mitchell Weiser and single goals from Oliver Markoutz, Thomas Mueller, Vladimir Rankovic and Toni Kroos in the win over Fanclub Wildenau. Juergen Foerster drew a huge round of
applause from the crowd of 11,000 when he scored a consolation goal for the Fan Club XI.
On Sunday, Regen amazingly took the lead on Daniel Kopp's
sixth-minute goal, but Mueller tied the score and Patrick Weihrauch scored twice to give Bayern a 3-1 lead.
In the second half, Green netted
another hat trick with Emre Can, Alessandro Schoepf and Kroos adding single tallies.

Classic L
What's up everybody? :food-snacking:Some of you may know, I'm up in the North East, New England area, Boston MA, Mattapan to be specific. They had the Cadillac & LaSalle Grand National car show in Quincy (https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&gbv=2&q=quincy+MA&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x89e364c197f2ef65:0xccf8b4981ac54163,Quincy ,+MA&gl=us&ei=JtsDUqH2O4Ww4APQp4HADw&ved=0CBgQ8gEoADAA), which is one of the first suburbs to the south of Boston, real close to Mattapan being on the south side of the city. It was a four day event and I went three of the four days. First day was just registration. Didn't bring my camera on any day:banghead:, so I only snapped shots with my phone:bulb:. Maaaan, there were some cars up there:hitit:. I saw cars from 1933 to 2013. Big respect to Caddy owners world wide. If you notice the green Seville in the garage from the pictures I've included, that's mine.... well, my mother's. It's a 79 and in really great condition. Plus the color combination is rare but complimentary. It was well maintained and really a great vehicle. I didn't enter it in the show, but the day I brought it up there, everybody was like "whoa...":2thumbs: I'm the third owner and have owned it about a year. There weren't many 1st gen Sevilles in the show, maybe two? If any of you have read my other posts you may know, I've been nicing that car up to give as a gift to my momz (shhhhh it's a secret!):hitstick:. It's just about ready to deliver so I'm gonna take some nice pics after the next time I wash it and tie up the thread on that post. Here's a link to some of the pictures for the Grand Nat'l.

MIDDLE EAST SPECIAL In their biggest adventure yet (until next year s DVD), Jeremy, Richard and James attempt to recreate the journey of the original Three Wise Men as they bumble their way across the Middle East towards Bethlehem. But this high octane nativity play is fraught with danger and incompetence. Will they survive the hair-raising landing in a Russian transport plane? Will they get out of Iraq in one piece? Will Jeremy s bullet proof door actually stop bullets? Will their clapped out hairdressers convertibles survive the tortures of the Syrian deserts? Will James recover from his head injury? Will Mary and Joseph be happy with their gifts? Will they even find the right manger? The answers are yes, yes, no, sort of, sort of, no and no. But you ll find that out for yourself in this extended length film. U.S. ALBANIA ROAD TRIPS In their not quite biggest adventures yet, the boys visit the good old US of A and former Eastern Bloc Albania for two action packed road trips. In America our trio, armed with the hottest new supercars - the Mercedes SLS, Ferrari 458 and the Porsche 911 GT3RS - head through NASCAR country and enjoy a dancing Mayor, a Stig on a drive by shooting range, and the white knuckle Virginia Raceway, with their adventure climaxing in a race across New York. But that s nothing compared to Albania, where they are summoned by a Mafia Boss to pick a winner from the new Rolls-Royce Ghost, The Mercedes S-Class, and the new Bentley Mulsanne (sort of). Keen to please, the boys embark on their most comprehensive test ever, including the Dead Fat Man in the Boot challenge, and a bank robbery to find the best getaway car. Will James be killed in the resulting car chase? The answer is yes. Definitely.

Due to medical conditions these dogs are not adoptable and will remain here at WarmFuzzy's Sanctuary.
Ruger: male is Bull Mastiff, Great Dane & Lab mix who had surgery to save his front leg and foot
Duchess & Annie are Ruger's nieces who are Bull Mastiff, Great Dane, Lab (their mother), Chow & Rottie (their daddy). These two have shoulder problems - bone grinding on bone & need to be on medication for this.
Our most recent rescue is Jazz a female Black & Tan Coon hound who was beaten by her previous owner. She has hip problems due to those beatings. She needs more x-rays and proper medication to help ease her pain. Jazz also needs to be spayed. She is very timid and loving. She is also known for her spontaneous episodes of goofy exuberance.
We need donations so they can all be brought up to date on vaccinations & heartguard.
We need Frontline Plus for these four dogs.

Imagine a component with no weaknesses, no cracks due to welding, optimised weight and material properties, and a superior lifetime – all achievable by metal powder processing without expensive machining and deliverable in weeks rather than months.
Bodycote is able to provide these benefits to customers through powder metallurgy (PM) via HIP product fabrication. Bodycote's Powdermet® technology encompasses both powder metallurgy and diffusion bonding, either separately or as part of the same manufacturing process. Powders are HIPed in the solid state to form fully dense material with superior physical properties versus traditional PM or forging production. This is accomplished by either encapsulating powder in a complex-shaped sheet metal canister to achieve a post-HIP near net shape (HIP PM NNS), using the same technique modified to allow selected surfaces to be net shape, or manufacturing a simply shaped preform as starting material for further fabrication steps.
HIP enables dissimilar materials, either in powder or solid form, to become fused on an atomic level, known as diffusion bonding or cladding. This bonding process is ideal in powder metallurgy for selective placement of premium materials on more economical substrates and for high temperature applications where adhesives cannot be used. Bodycote provides the design, modeling, engineering and quality assurance expertise to support its customers' needs for powder metallurgy HIP product fabrication.

HIP cladding
Diffusion bonding of solid to solid or solid to powder metallurgy material to create a bi-metallic object with premium material properties on selective surfaces by encapsulation and hot isostatic pressing.
HIP brazing
HIP-assisted brazing is the joining of two dissimilar materials during the HIP process with the use of a brazing interlayer.
Simple shape
Production of powder metallurgy (PM) simple shape components by hot isostatically pressed (HIPed) metal, polymer, ceramic or composite powders. PM HIP simple shapes also encompass HIP cladding.

In addition to the application materials required of all students, international students are required to submit an official score report from the TOEFL or the IELTS exam and a course-by-course WES evaluation.
Be sure to note the application deadlines for international students to ensure that your application is received in a timely manner.
The University of Pittsburgh requires a minimum TOEFL score of 550 on the written test or 80 on the Internet test. Applicants with a TOEFL score lower than 550 or 80 are not eligible for admission. TOEFL must be taken within two years of application.
IELTS scores can be submitted in lieu of the TOEFL. The minimum required score on the IELTS is Band 6.5 and applicants must take the academic writing and reading modules. IELTS must be taken within two years of application.
Pitt Public Health does not require the TOEFL of permanent residents, but departments may ask for TOEFL scores if they are necessary for the evaluation of the application.
SOPHAS applicants must use the ETS code for SOPHAS (5688) when submitting official TOEFL scores from the Educational Testing Service. SOPHAS Express and HAMPCAS applicants must use the University of Pittsburgh code (2927) with no department code. Official IELTS results must be mailed directly to the Office of Student Affairs. The mailing address can be found here. Copies are not accepted.
If none of these circumstances applies, the TOEFL or IELTS exam is required.
Countries for which a TOEFL or IELTS score is waived
The departments reserve the right to request TOEFL or IELTS scores if they feel that they are necessary for the evaluation of the application, even if the applicant meets one of the criteria above.
Back to top
Pitt Public Health requires that all education from outside of the United States be evaluated by the World Education Services (WES). The course-by-course evaluation is required and must be submitted directly to SOPHAS. Pitt Public Health recommends submission of the WES ICAP evaluation, which will include certified copies of academic records. If the WES basic course-by-course evaluation is submitted, applicants must also submit official transcripts (and official translations where applicable) to the Pitt Public Health Office of Student Affairs. Evaluations from agencies other than WES will not be accepted. Note: U.S. applicants who participated only in a short-term study-abroad program are not required to submit an evaluation.
Other than these special cases, applications will be considered incomplete, and hence, will not be reviewed, until a WES verification report has been received. International applicants must begin the WES process early.
It is important that all accepted international applicants review the financial support documents carefully, as financial aid and scholarships are typically not available to international students. If accepted, you will receive a link to the International Graduate Student Financial Information with your admissions letter.
Additional information on immigration and visa requirements from Pitt's Office of International Services.
Review by departmental committee takes an average of four to six weeks, but the timing may vary by department or by season. As soon as your application is returned to the Office of Student Affairs, you will be notified of the decision.
If you've read everything on this page and still would like to speak with somebody about the application process, contact the Office of Student Affairs.

The ever declining campaign of Senator John McCain for the presidency took another blow to the stomach with an announcement from Baghdad that Iraqi leaders essentially agree with the views of Barack Obama that all US troops can leave their nation by 2010. McCain has been insisting establishing a timeline is giving into those who don't want America to "win" in Iraq. Unfortunately, for the senator from Arizona, President Bush has also agreed on a timeline. Barack Obama sat down with Prime Minister Al-Maliki in Baghdad's heavily protected green Zone. Ali Al-Dabagh, a close associate of Maliki, sat in on the meeting and when asked about a date for withdrawal that meets desires of the Maliki government, Al-Dabagh said, "up to 2010." That matches Obama's pledge to withdraw troops within 16 months after taking office.
President Bush is trying to twist and turn away from the reality he has agreed to a timeline with Prime Minister Maliki, and that timeline is in accord with views of Senator Barack Obama. Senator McCain has once again be left out to dry by his fellow Republican by still insisting there can not be a timeline.

In keeping with his do-gooder promises, Charlie Sheen has set up a website to raise money for Alabama storm victims.
The actor/warlock, who spent time on Monday touring the decimated Alberta City neighborhood in Tuscaloosa, Ala., says he will send an autographed baseball to anyone who makes a tax-deductible donation of at least $100 through the site, Torpedos against Tornados. However, donations can be made in any amount, and proceeds go to Alabama victims of the April 27 twisters that ravaged the South.
The name of the relief campaign is derived from Sheen's touring stage show "My Violent Torpedo of Truth."

Kuala Lumpur, April 27 (ANI): Underage Malay girls are indulging in sex just to seek revenge on their parents for ignoring them, cops have revealed.
According to Assistant Commissioner Suguram Bibi Munshi Deen, girls who previously alleged rape later confessed having given their consent for sex with their beaus, reports the Star Online.
According to figures compiled since 2005, the number of girls, under 16, who had sex, had been rising every year.
The head of the Sexual Abuse and Children's Division at Bukit Aman also found 60 percent of girls, between 13 and 15 years old, indulged in sex since they "wanted revenge" on their parents for subjecting them to emotional and physical "abuse".
Some others, mostly from cities and major towns, were even compelled into sexual acts by the very men they trusted and the victims usually became pregnant, it was observed.CP Suguram Bibi said: "We are not pointing a finger or exposing the private lives of families but the public must realise what is happening.
"Children, teenagers and youths are our future leaders and we as adults, parents or guardians must guide and instil in them right and proper values."
It was also found that teenagers often sought attention or wanted freedom of expression and got bored easily.
ACP Suguram Bibi added: "We also found that some boys were challenged by their peers and forced to commit sex acts to prove that he was one of the gang and to stop being ridiculed." (ANI)

Von Metzke "groomed" underaged girls by texting
Teens reported him, but theatre slow to act
Don Bauder 2 p.m., June 25
Fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers awaiting their sold-out show scheduled for Wednesday, February 29, at the Valley View Casino Center, will need to cool their heels until September 23.
It was announced on January 11 that the band has postponed the start of its tour until late March. Lead singer Anthony Kiedis underwent surgery to repair a crushed sesamoid bone and correct a detached flexor tendon in his foot. Kiedis is expected to make a full recovery.
The I'm With You tour was to begin the January 20 in Sunrise, Florida, but is now scheduled to kickoff on the 29th of March in Tampa Bay instead. All tickets for the postponed dates will be honored at the rescheduled dates listed at the band's website: stadium-arcadium.com.
Kiedis has had ongoing problems with his feet ever since the Stadium Arcadium Tour. In August of 2011 he spoke of the injury on the band's website and how it originally occurred: "I stayed out on tour with broken bones in my feet from jumping off the bass drum, which is kind of agonizing, and it led to me being in a bad state of mind."

What Have You Said About The UFC To Receive Neg Rep... I'll Start
Every now and then you try and post a thoughtful/honest comment about a fighter, then when you check your User CP you see you have received RED rep and a comment that goes something like this "ur a retard"
My last few Neg reps have come as a result of me saying:
"Jon Jones is going to kick Lyoto's butt"
"I like Nick Diaz"
"Rashad is slightly overrated"
So what are some of the things you've said where people go behind your backs and neg rep you without leaving their names?
I always know who reps me, benefit of being a gold member.
Don't think mods/admin really like people talking about it and really there isn't much point. The odd neg rep like that doesn't really hurt as they are coming from people with no rep power. Just don't piss off high rep posters like admins etc, have good posts and your rep will go up. I actually like getting negged so I can go in and see that it dropped like 5 points lol.
I only get negged by posters I couldn't care about so it doesn't mean much. When I neg I only leave my name if I'm really butthurt. I figure anonymous negs to unpaid members might encourage them to become paids:thumb02:
Edit: Must spread before I can neg you again op:)
Do reps honestly matter? It's only an Internet forum...
I use to dog Guida all the time. "Leg humper" etc.. It turned me red pretty quick when I first joined.
If you feel offended by neg-reps you've recieved, please contact a member of the staff and we will determine wether action is to be taken against the member who negged you...
Not matter what opinion you have on any subject someone will always disagree with you, and if they feel strongly about the subject they may neg-rep you... But I agree, it's not cool doing so and not leaving your name, at least be a little respectful about it :p
As mentioned earlier, just go gold - it'll never be a problem again ;)
Opening a thread in the UFC section to cry about negs?
Can it get anymore lame, ridiculous and stupid than this?
I'll neg you just after submitting this reply.
1 Attachment(s)
The rep system is foolish anyway. Who really cares what your rep is? Rep...on a forum? I'd rather have a good rep in real life.
I say what I feel. Feel free to neg rep me. I got better things to do than care what color my stupid little bar is. And I don't see how people have the time to check and see who neg rep'd you each time.
If ya care that much, you really need to leave the house once a day.

An FCC meeting doesn't always mean that the launch of a device is imminent, but it is one step that must be completed before the phone is allowed for sale in the states. In addition to the information gleaned from the visit to the FCC, Casio and Verizon do have a relationship that dates back several years with the G'zOne line. This could be the first model in the series with 4G LTE connectivity, which means those who need a rugged phone won't have to skimp on data speed.

1. Tom from
2. Diablo Predator
3. ~$515 shipped
4. almost 4 months
5. The tune was very easy to install, even though when I received my tune the "workaround" (removing 2 fuses during install) for traction control-equipped cars hadn't been discovered yet. Because of this, along with my Predator I got a "benchflasher" (a wire harness used to connect the Predator directly to the ECU, rather than to the OBDII port). The reflash time took about a total of 10 minutes, 5 to retrieve and store my factory tune into the Predator and another 5 to load the custom tune. After I loaded the tune, I fired the car up and went for a test drive (I did not reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery or anything like that). My first and immediate impression was that the surging was gone. Woo hoo! Second, there was no more bogging out during launches. I used to have to baby the car, almost coax it to get moving. Now, all it took was a gentle application of gas and a steady release of the clutch and we were on our way! The power band was also a noticeable difference. Prior to the tune, my power would only really kick in at 5-6krpms, now it took off from 1.5K all the way up! Wow! The exhaust note sounded more aggressive and the car just seemed to come alive around me. Originally I noticed a decrease in gas mileage and thought it was from the tune, but after a few weeks when my driving settled out my MPG came right back to what I was used to. I was just laying into the gas more than usual becuase I was having so much fun! Overall I have been very satisfied with my tune. I was worried that I might later regret the large chunk of change I threw down for it, but I'm actually
I spent that money.
One last note, I just spoke to Tom about his disabling T/C completely using the stock T/C button (without affecting the braking system) and I found that I already had that tune. I went out to test it (never bothered using the console button because I have the kill switch hooked up). At a stop, I pushed the console TC button and the indicator lit on the dash. I revved to about 3K and let the clutch go...a little wheel spin and no bog! I then had a go with my kill switch engaged. Same thing! So, Tom has made the stock T/C button able to kill TC completely, even below 25mph. Dang, I didn't even know I had that.
6. Tom was quick to answer any questions and offered to walk me through the install over the phone if I had any problems (which of course I didn't). Shipping took over a week, but this was because Tom had to wait for the customer before me to return the benchflasher so that he could send it to me. This is no longer an issue, though.
7. Link to my dyno is in my sig. All my performance mods are listed, and NO, I don't have a baseline dyno.

Knob and Tube wiring.
I am not sure if this is actually what they call this type of wiring or not but that is what I call it. It is the wire that they used a long time ago that the positive and the ground were 2 seperate wires, each in there own sheath of some kind. This wiring is supposedly not good stuff because it overloads and can cause fires. Well my problem is, this stuff is the power supply for the entire upstairs of a friends house that we are reroofing. My question to any of you out there is how hard is this wiring to change out to Lumex and does anybody know the best way to get the old wiring out of the walls and the new wiring down an exterior wall to the elecrical panel in the basement.
Once the old wiring is replaced and de-energized it can be left in the walls.
How difficult the change is depends on the house. You need to get cables from the breaker box to the area in question. With an open attic the cables can all be fished down from above. But how hard s it to get from the panel to the attic. For ground floor cables can fished fromthe basement below very easily if the basement has an open ceiling.
Basically, it is like wiring the place from scratch. Good planning will help save time and trouble.
You may be able to use the holes that the K&T are in
You can abondon the wire as said in the wall
It has to be all disconnected to do so
K&T can branch off in different directions, so be aware of that
Disconnecting one area may lead to lots of items not working
If there is a lot & you don't want to risk shutting it all off at once; then run the new stuff 1st & only disconnect the old when ready
Be careful of fishing wires in walls with existing K&T
You don't want to damage it while it's in use
Would it be possible (with the power off) to pull the romex back up with the K&T wire?
From the K&t I have seen with the walls torn open I would say no.I have rewired 2 house that had K&T And the way it was in the wall i would say no .But thats with the two I have rewired. The wires went from on side to the other with insulators Like zigzag.Alo alot of the K&t was spliced in the wall going diferent directions.
The holes drilled for K&T are smaller than you would typically drill for new wiring and they probably do not line up very well either.
Thanks guys for the advice. A buddy of mine who's an electrician came over yesterday and we got most of the K&Tfished through the walls there are a couple of wires we cannot find though that go from receptacles to something. Any ideas. And it doesnt work all that well to tie onto the old K&T with the new wire. Out of probably 8 attemps 1 worked and it was only a 5' pull.
It depends. I lucked out once and the cable feeding the K&T in the second floor was not fastened in the walls. I was able to pull new cables up from the basement to the second floor using the old cables. As soon as you have access to the cables you will know. Tug on them and see if they come up. The individual wire will not be able to be used. They will be fasten for sure to the studs or past through tubes which will be too small for NM cable.

When Martins' spokesman E. O'Brien Murray told Newsday "Jack Martins, the Republican candidate running to replace retiring Democratic Rep. Steve Israel, will vote for Donald Trump, his party's presidential candidate, but has not endorsed him", he is stating a distinction without a difference. This demonstration of mental gymnastics "is a type of logical fallacy where an author or speaker attempts to describe a distinction between two things although no difference exists."
Sometime it's not clever or sophisticated language that matters, it's the simple truth and wisdom passed down by our Caribbean parents, "Child, dat man is giving ya a six for a nine"
Jack Martins, where is your moral courage? What is the difference between voting for someone and their ideas and not endorsing them?

Ft. Bragg Soldier Ruben Fox, Wife Amber Fox, Arrested for Alleged Sex with Dogs
A US soldier and his wife have been arrested and charged with crimes against nature for allegedly having sex with dogs and then posting videos of the illicit acts on the Internet.
The Fayetteville Observer reports Raeford couple Ruben Chance James Fox and his wife Amber Nicole Fox, both 23, were arrested by Raeford police on Monday morning.
The Foxes were charged with multiple counts of crimes against nature involving bestiality, disseminating obscene materials and conspiracy. Amber Fox was additionally charged with soliciting a crime against nature.
The Associated Press reports Ruben Fox is an active duty US soldier stationed at Fort Bragg, some 25 miles away near Fayetteville. A spokesman at the base confirmed that Fox is a specialist in the 82nd Airborne Division.
According to the cybercrime unit of the Fairfax County (Virginia) Police Department, explicit videos made by and featuring the Foxes engaging in sex acts with dogs were discovered being shared on an unidentified website. Raeford police were then notified. Raeford officers searched the couple's residence in the 900 block of East Prospect Avenue on Friday, seizing cameras and computer hard drives.
Two mixed-breed dogs and three cats were also seized from the couple's home and placed in a local shelter.
The Foxes are being held on $15,000 bail each.
On Sunday, Amber Fox asked 'God' to protect her family.
"Please help our oppressors to have mercy and see the truth," Fox wrote on Facebook. "Please guide them and touch them Lord with your love. Please help guide us back to your holy path and do your holy work."
This is the second time bestiality has made headlines in the past week. Four days ago, the British press was abuzz with the story of Graham Redfearn, a 41-year-old Shropshire pedophile arrested for allegedly having sex with a horse and two dogs and making videos of himself raping the animals. When questioned by investigators, Redfearn said he was "experimenting."
Husband and wife bestiality arrests are far less common, but do occur with some regularity. In January, Canadian couple Ryan and Donna Fleury were arrested in Ontario and charged with marijuana, bestiality and firearms offenses after police found "evidence of bestiality involving a dog" at their home, along with 1,600 cannabis plants and illicit guns.
Last year, authorities in Maricopa County, Arizona arrested Shane and Sarah Dae Walker and charged them and a friend with felony bestiality after an undercover detective caught the couple attempting to arrange a group sex session in which Sarah would have had sex with a golden shepherd dog.

I think this should be it. This is definitely a find for what it is. 2002 Excursion 4x4 Diesel with the 7.3 motor. Only 68k miles and it is the Limited package. Monster sound system, rear entertainment & aftermarket Nav. This one should last me a while.
I'll probably throw a set of 18" chromes on it to update the look a little and she's good to go (to the river).
Yes Dan, you can have the Escalade.
