Gustavia/Saint-Barthelemy/Leeward Islands/France , 15.00 – 0.00 hrs
The first port of call after three relaxing days at sea is Gustavia, where you can follow Scandinavian footsteps.

The "last tropical paradise of the West Indies" is just as appealing. Take a tour* and experience the volcanic cone, steaming sulphur springs and green coastlines of Marigot Bay on St Lucia. Alternatively, take a cable car ride and glide above the canopy of the rainforest*, and enjoy unforgettable views of the lush plant world. St Lucia is even more spectacular from a bird's-eye perspective*, which you will get on a flight over the inner parts of this tropical island.
| Sun, 14.12.2014
Mayreau/St Vincent and the Grenadines , 8.00 – 23.00 hrs

The colourful facades are visible even from the historic harbour front, and will tempt you to take a city tour* through the winding streets. The Punda and Otrobanda quarters are connected by the floating Queen Emma Bridge. Take it to Fort Amsterdam and, on the way, try some of the exotic delicacies on offer at the floating market. The hinterlands are also diverse. Take an island tour* and marvel at the impressive cave Boca Tabla in Shete Boka National Park and, with a little luck, observe the flamingos on the Jan Kok salt pans.

Prepared by Rabbi Michael Gold
Congregation Beth Torah, Tamarac, FL
Department of Congregational Services
Rabbi Paul Drazen, Director
This parashah contains more laws than any other in the Torah; the variety of topics in the general area of family life and social norms is so great that it is impossible to find a single category in which to place them. The parashah begins with a law that deals with a harsh reality of war -- what is required of a man who sees and desires a woman he captures in battle. Another topic addresses the relationships between a man and his two wives, one beloved and the other now hated. The overall topic of family relationships continues with laws for dealing with a stubborn and rebellious son. We get our custom of burying our dead as quickly as possible from this parashah's directive that a corpse may not to be kept out all night.
Among the laws in the next section is the requirement to return lost property, to maintain differences in men and women's clothing, and to put a parapet around a roof for safety. A theme in the next section is keeping unlike things separated -- do not mix seeds in the same furrow, do not team an ox and ass together to plow, and do not wear clothing made of a mixture of wool and linen. Issues of sexual behavior are raised as well. The portion contains directives for a man who charges that his new wife was not an unmarried virgin. Adultery is punished by death. When a man forces himself upon a young unmarried woman he must pay a fine to her father, marry her, and forfeit the right to divorce her. (Later the rabbis mitigated this harsh law by allowing the woman the right to refuse to marry him.)
This portion reviews basic laws of divorce, including the requirement that a man must hand his wife her bill of divorcement. There are warnings about paying laborers on time and not taking clothing or working tools as collateral for a loan. It is forbidden to subvert the rights of a widow or stranger. Forgotten sheaves left in the field and gleanings of fruit trees shall be left for the poor. The basis for these laws is presented simply -- the Israelites must remember they were once slaves in the land of Egypt.
This portion also contains the laws of levirate marriage. When a man dies without a child, his brother has an obligation to marry the widow and raise a child in the name of the deceased. If the brother does not want to, he must participate in the rather unusual ceremony of release known as haliza. The portion ends with the warning to remember Amalek, the evil nation that attacked the Israelites from the rear.
"You see among the captives a beautiful woman and you desire her and would take her as your wife" (Deuteronomy 21:11)
"You shall not abuse a needy and destitute laborer, whether a fellow countryman or a stranger in one of the communities of your land" (Deuteronomy 24:14)

If you have an annual travel insurance policy, do you have to tell the insurer if you develop a medical condition during that year? For instance, if you find you have a heart condition a few months into the annual policy, are you covered for any related health problems when you're travelling?
Travel insurance often gets bought in a holiday atmosphere, as a kind of financial version of that dodgy summer shirt at the airport. We don't look too deeply into when exactly it's going to be usefully deployed. Problem is, this optimistic vagueness comes to an abrupt halt when an insurance claim is assessed. And medical exclusion rules can be particularly tough.
In terms of annual policyholders who develop a medical condition, the financial ombudsman says that if the consumer was acting in good faith at the time of purchase, there isn't any automatic, ongoing duty to tell insurers about health problems that subsequently emerge during the year.
The time that insurers have to be told about these changed circumstances is when the policy comes up for renewal. And at this point the insurer can impose conditions, such as not providing cover for any costs related to that particular ailment.
The exception to this would be if an insurer had spelt out to policyholders that they are required to supply such health information discovered during the course of year. For instance, a spokesperson for Bradford and Bingley says it makes clear to annual policyholders that they do have to provide updates about health problems that arise.
There are other health-related annual travel policy disputes that turn up in the financial ombudsman's postbag.
For instance, are you covered for a holiday that is booked for after the renewal date of an annual policy? If the policyholder's health changes after booking a trip, the insurer might refuse cover when it comes up for renewal, leaving the customer with the choice of going without insurance or ditching the holiday.
The ombudsman says if a trip is booked beyond the annual renewal date, and the insurer won't renew the policy, the insurer may be liable for the cancellation costs. But dodgy shirt insurance could still prove elusive. Sean Coughlan

Playing their first of two sold-out shows on Friday evening, Cut Copy provided a mix of old hits and selections from their recent album, Free Your Mind, for a great amalgam of dance music. A Cut Copy show could serve as a lesson in multimedia: they are skilled in the art of crafting both an atmosphere of movement and music to move to.
At Terminal 5, the Melbourne outfit put on a live show that you could feel, with lights and bass thumping together as one. And after one of the worst winters in recent memory, just a day after the official start of spring, the concert couldn't have come at a better time. Sometimes the simple joys of summer are exactly what a body needs, and Cut Copy seems to understand that concept perfectly. With every body in motion, the crowd felt a little warmer and no one felt left out in the cold.

"I know one thing, Coach Meyer is not going to be one of those coaches that just puts his name on the brochure," Holliday said. "He is going to be out there, coaching and involved. We are all excited to get this thing going."
The camps kick off on June 5 with a four-day session featuring teams, linemen and kicking specialists. In the team camp, the players will receive specialized attention from members of the Florida staff. There will be seven-on-seven games played and the teams must consist of at least 10 skilled players in a group. Their applications need to be sent together. There will also be a simultaneous lineman camp with full pads, hitting and competition. At the same time, there will be a kicking camp going on. Some of the top kicking coaches in the south will be on hand to instruct in kicking and punting. There will also be competition for kickers at the end of the session.
Coach Holliday expects a big turnout and says the Gator coaches cannot wait to see the youth that the Gator nation has to offer.
"It's a great concept, it works back to a lot of kids," he says of the competition involved in the first camp session. "There are a lot of schools in the state already signed up. Pompano Beach Ely High School and Glades Central High School to name a couple are already signed up. We will coach the skill kids individually in the mornings, our staff will. Then they will play seven-on-seven in the afternoon and at night, in team competition. The linemen will do their own thing and the kickers will have their camp going on at the same time. Our team camp is really the one we start with. We have a full padded lineman camp that is going on at the same time that is run by our coaches (with Coach Hevesy, Addazio, and Mattison) and kind of separate. We have a seven-on-seven skills passing camp going on and also a kicking camp."
This is a unique opportunity to get instruction from college coaches at an age level that just can't get this level of instruction. The players involved in the lineman camp are going to feel it when they are done, and no doubt will learn a lot from the experience.
"It is a full padded camp," Holliday said. "The bottom line is our coaches are going to coach that thing. They are going to have pads on and we are going to teach technique and fundamentals. I know Coach (John) Hevesy and Coach (Steve) Addazio, and all of them are real excited about it."
The next camp session will be held for little Gators from June 9-11. This will be for boys or girls 10 years old and younger. It will also include explicit instruction from all of the Gator football staff including Coach Meyer. This is a day camp only, so the little campers won't be allowed to stay over night this year.
"We are having a junior camp for little Gators for 10 years old and under," Holliday said. "As long as they can walk, we will take them. It will go from 9 in the morning till 4 p.m. in the afternoon. We will teach them real technique and fundamentals. No doubt, Coach Meyer is real excited about it and his kids will be there. We are going to have a lot of fun and they are going to find out what big time college football is all about."
As of now, the last scheduled session entitled the "Individual Camp" is scheduled for June 12-15. It is designed for kids aged 11 to entering the 12th grade. This camp will have more individualized attention from the same coaching staff and will be an overnight camp to take in the whole college experience.
"Then we will go to our 11-year-olds to twelfth graders, which is an overnight camp," Holliday said. "We will teach techniques and fundamentals for the older kids. That starts on Sunday and ends on Wednesday."
The campers are going to have a chance to see the full college experience. The overnight campers will be staying in campus dorms and all campers will be given tours of facilities and some of the campus. Their will be tutoring sessions for all on academics and more for all the ages. For the older kids there will be strength and conditioning exercise included in the session.
"Oh yeah," Holiday said about the work in the strength and conditioning. "All of our coaches will actually go and be involved with some strength and conditioning things that they should be doing at that age. We want to have all the girls and guys (to participate), if they can walk and want to have some fun, we would love to have them.
"No question, they will stay in the dorms and actually work out in the facilities our players work out in. They will be in The Swamp they will be on the practice field and all over the place. They will get to eat where our players eat. They will get the true Gator experience like our players do.
"We are going to bring in to a couple of our camps a guy that specializes in SAT testing and what is required as far as core GPA's and all that kind of thing. You know, it is probably just as important for the little bitty guys so we can get them off to a great start. So when they become players they know what to do with school. We will bring in a lot of people to talk about academics. We will bring in a guy to tell them exactly how to take the SAT. We have a lot of things planned and are real excited about it."
Despite little to no advertisement, the reception for all of the camp sessions has been taken well and Holliday encourages parents to sign their kids up soon. "We are filling up pretty quick," he said.
The subject has been broached about having a senior camp, but right now that is not an option. The thought for this coaching staff is that they will put all of their energy into teaching the kids that want to be here for these camps and then see where that leads them. They expect top talent from around the country to show and participate in the sessions they already have scheduled.
"We are not sure about that yet," he said about a Rising Senior Camp. "We are going to see how it goes with our other camps. At that point, if we feel like we have to do an upcoming senior camp, then that is what we will do. That is still in play and we are not sure what we will do with that right now."

Globalize or Perish! Has it come to this?
In the mid-1980s, William von Raab, then commissioner of the U.S. Customs Service, exhorted customs brokers and freight forwarders to "automate or perish." Customs, he warned, was dropping its paper-based, error-prone, manual operating system in favor of a faster, more efficient computerized system in order to keep pace with the country's growing international trade. Brokers and forwarders not electronically linked to the agency's high-tech system simply would be unable to do business.
At the same time, as the amount of money Americans spent importing goods from foreign countries began to dwarf the amount earned from sales of U.S. products abroad, triggering the now infamous "trade deficit," Washington launched into "Export or Perish!" mode. Relentless trade deficits can be disastrous for an economy: more cash goes out than comes into the national jar; domestic manufacturers that are losing market share close plants; jobs are lost; consumers buy less; and more manufacturers slash production. The circle gets vicious.
Facing this threat, federal agencies, joined by state and local government agencies, began an aggressive campaign to open reticent overseas markets, with a view toward selling them more U.S.-made goods. America would "pry them open with a crowbar" if necessary, then U.S. Trade Representative Carla Hills declared. A host of programs, services and Web sites subsequently came into being to support the successful entry of U.S. exporters into global markets. The result: small- and medium-size businesses now make up 89 percent of the nation's exporters.
Today, idiom and mood have swung to "Globalize or Perish!" In a world shriveled by time-slashing communications, delivery and transportation technologies, American companies, entrepreneurs and professionals are being urged to take advantage of business opportunities beyond America. Their very survival depends on the extent to which they do so, some say. Professional and business organizations that cater to African-Americans and other minorities are joining this march toward globalization. Some, like the National Minority Business Council, saw the writing on the wall decades ago and began to move accordingly. Many of these organizations are helping their members go global through dialogue with peer organizations overseas and such activities as trade missions, providing business leads and export training and education workshops that disseminate information about government resources.
The cover story of this issue of The Network Journal profiles two men who have risen to senior management rank in one of the country's most famous companies—The Coca-Cola Co.—by taking positions in the company's Africa division. The personal and professional gratification they derive from their experience abroad reinforces the notion that success does not lie solely within the territorial boundaries of any single country. Our industry focus on investment strategies and financial planning also strikes a global theme with Bevolyn Williams-Harold's article on opportunities in Africa and the Caribbean. K. Emily Bond's sidebar to her story on supplier diversity trends describes one organization's effort to take minority—or diverse, as they are sometimes called these days—suppliers into the global arena, while Inés Bebea's feature on the next phase of hip-hop looks at a genre that impacts product development, marketing and lifestyle worldwide.
Go global, even if all you do for the moment is check out the possibilities.

UFC Maybe In Trouble
Even with the numbers down, which regardless of any spin put on it, Zuffa had to know that it was going to happen with all of the recent misfortune in scheduling, I'm certain they still turned a substantial profit. That's $15M gross revenue and I may be wrong but I don't think it cost that to promote 106. I also disagree with the statement that Penn/Sanchez not doing good numbers. Both are well known fighters and bring a lot of hype to 107. We'll have to wait and see the reality of that though. I do agree that the next couple of months are rough in terms of product being offered to the casual fan. One could hope that some of the lesser known fighters will "WOW" those casual fans and generate more buzz for the future. All in all I don't really see this being a huge hurdle in terms of over all success.
All due respect you missed the point. They designed it to flush out the market. Their chief competitor at the time was Affliction and with strategic counter programming they are now out of business. For them to overcome the number of challenges (injuries, loss of sponsorships, boxing PPVs, competition,) is a testament to their management. You only see Dana, Silva and the Fertittas but these guys have a whole army in every department. If Brock wasn't injured the PPVS would have skyrocketed. This is out of their control.
Any other organization puts on a fight a quarter. That's because they don't have enough stable of fighters, sponsorship dollars, and investment to produce one; Strikeforce, Affliction, Bodog, etc.
People should support the UFC cuz I havn't been excited about any other sports out there since Michael Jordan left the NBA...lolz. Now one can enjoy MMA fights/quality entertainment every month.
Once all the old politicians retire and the younger ones who grew up with the sport replaces them then every city will endorse it. Capitalism at it's finest.

Honestly, you need to be smoking something if you think that these past two events should have brought in larger buyrates. They are right around the numbers of past similar events. You could argue 104 should have brought in more as it was a title fight but there was little to support that main event in terms of well known fighters fighting.
The UFCs buyrate will skyrocket again when Lesnar, GSP, Penn or Silva fight again. I am guessing UFC 107 with Penn vs Sanchez will bring in around 550-600,000.
The UFC isn't hurting, they just haven't had a big event in the past 3 months...
I see the same trend. Too many fights. I'm a promoter in another type of sport, I see this often, organizations get caught up in the more is better theory. It's not. Less is better, it keeps the fans and fighters hungry. Too many fights and it's not a priority to people to make sure they watch. When a fan knows, ahh we'll just watch the next one it's in a couple weeks, your venue loses priority with the viewer. This in my opinion is also affecting the fighters. Lots of backing out of fights for one reason or another, legit or not legit. If they knew the next pay day for them might be a while their priorities would change also.
The UFC is far from being in any sort of trouble, what about the ratings for the Fight Nites they do? There is one this weekend which SHOULD draw in tons of viewers because of Kimbo mainly. Then UFC 107 has BJ fighting Sanchez which will bring in plenty of PPV buys im thinking in the high 400's low 500's for that and you'll see UFC 108 drop to the 300's or so due to all the injuries they've been having. but once the full roster of champs are fighting again expect to see those numbers rise for sure.
Not having Brock is killing them in numbers...
notice how these lower numbers came because of people backing out or the "superstar" fighters taking long break to get healthy again ( Lesnar,GSP,Anderson) and there are prolly others as well just cant think of them right now.
All figures noted, and obviously they've dipped recently, but Joe Rogan made an excellent point recently on Inside the Ultimate Fighter, and that was, essentially, that no matter how low PPV figures go for UFC events TUF still pulls in far greater figures then the PPV slot. Although this doesn't generate the same revenue, obviously, it still ensures popularity for the promotion. At the moment the UFC probably has one of the longest injury lists since the White/Fertita annex, this means that PPV figures will slump, as we saw with 106, but this is bound to happen within any sport. You can be sure that when injuries mend, and people live up to their contracts [read: rampage] the PPV figures will go back up.
Hey, just to remind everyone, there is this thing happening right now............that recession thing............oh, and that pesky holiday, whats it called?? Oh, Christmas!!! Yeah, so shelling out 50 bucks every month is not necessarily possible for everyone still.
Just a thought. Plus, what everyone else mentioned above.

U da man! Another P99 fan added to the ranks!
Between the P99 fans and the Texas members, we'll take over soon
Although not in time to participate in the monthly contest, i finally got my P99 home. and i couldn't be happier!
i looked at the manufacture letters... they are KH so my thoughts are... it's kinda old... but it works great!
here are the pics:

Good looking pistol and some good pictures. Now besure to let us know how it shoots for you. Good luck with it.
It shoots great... flawlessly, since her manufacture date is '97 the trigger's as smooth as silk...
i fired around 100 rounds of WWB through it this past saturday and it didn't FTF or FTE not once...
Now ya needa get some mags that have more than 10 rounds
Walther makes 15 round mags, and S&W makes 16 round mags. I have some of both
Shipwreck is right, you should pick up some hi-cap magazines. However, stay away from those extended capacity magazines; I bought a 20rd. mag for mine and the stupid thing has feed problems on almost every round.
I've been pondering that... i know promag had some 30 rounders...
but i read the customer reviews on the mag and most of them weren't too pleased... one stated and i quote
"It's better to have 2 15s that fired reliably than 1 30 that doesn't"
but i'm still curious as to why they malfunction... and if slightly tweaking it will help...
either way, i will eventually be aquiring some 15s... 10s just seem to go too quick... and reloading a mag every time i empty one is kind of cumbersome... I only have 1 right now...
thanks for all your comments guys!

As Tiger Woods limped home Sunday (figuratively, this year) looking thoroughly befuddled and not at all the "Sunday Tiger," we've come to expect, a few disjointed thoughts were swimming about my own befuddled consciousness.
In no particular order of significance, I mulled over the following, which I don't present as any insightful recapitulation of the final round of this year's PGA Championship, or nuanced breakdown of Tiger's failure to secure victory after leading in the final round of a major (for only the second time in his career). Rather, I pen (alright, type) the following as a presentation of a few talking points loosely associated with my impressions of a few days ago.
Putting… What Gives?
On the one hand, Tiger seems to have struggled as of late on slower greens. He seems to have real difficulty in adjusting the speed of his putts to acommadate slower surfaces, thus leaving putts woefully short, as well as high. I don't think this was necessarily the main source of his ails on Sunday, as the greens weren't incredibly slow, but they weren't lightning fast, either.
In the past few years, Woods has been taking the "high to middle" road with his putts, rather than reading less break and hitting the ball harder, as he did earlier in his career. Certainly his putting is better overall, as is his ball striking, but he does seem to suffer from a gross inability to make enough putts to win major championships, at least over the past three years. He hasn't won the Masters since 2005 and it seems that the sole impetus to him doing so is his putting.
It always amuses me when Tiger is asked about what was going right in 2000-2001 when he won four straight majors. "I was making a lot of putts," is his usual response. To some extent, this is a throw away, "next question please" response, but really, as much as anything, that is the rationale for his success.
Woods also seems to have mechanical difficulties with his putting setup from time to time, becoming too crouched or gripping the putter in such a way that he ends up pushing or pulling a lot of putts. These problems seem to flare up at the most inopportune times. I think, much as he does with his longer clubs, Tiger makes every effort to keep his hand action as quiet as possible (thus, not saving the shot/deliberately squaring the face) as to create a more repeatable stroke with the larger (easier to control) muscles… all this by way of saying, for Woods, much depends on posture and set-up.
Here Come the Korean Men…
OK. I don't know if there going to be any sort of influx of Korean male talent on the PGA Tour or that Yang's victory is the clarion call for men in the same way the Se Ri Pak's win at the 1998 LPGA was for Korean women, but it does point out, once again, what an international game golf is. Indeed, two of the four major winners this year were from outside of the United States.
I don't mean to be etho-centric, or culturally insensitive, but not knowing much about golf in Asia, I can't speculate further as to the exact impact of Mr. Yang's triumph, other than to say I think Y.E.'s victory could prove to be a tremendous catalytic event, certainly one with positive ramifications of the game of golf across the world, however large or small.
Also indicated is that absolutely no one will be watching the Grand Slam of Golf this year. I don't think the charismatic quartet of Cabrera, Glover, Cink, and Yang is really going to be a tremendous draw. Perhaps Anna Rawson should be brought in to consult on the project?
Yang: Exciting Golfer (at Least on Sunday)
In all honesty, I expected Y.E. to shoot somewhere between 73 and 76 on Sunday, but he really put together a superb round of golf, always remaining focused on the shot at hand. Clinical, may be the right word; certainly, he looked clinical with the white shirt/pants combo he donned for the event.
Yang's round would have been simply a methodical plodding around the golf course (which is entirely unparalleled, coming from a playing partner of Mr. Woods on a Sunday) were it not for his chip in eagle and his career hybrid over the trees to, essentially, secure victory. Solid play with a bit of spice is the best recipe for an entertaining major victory. (Solid play, alone, is rather bland to taste).
All this by way of saying, I found the man difficult to root against and was quite entertained by the final round battle. It was impossible for me to believe, at least entering the round, that Tiger would do anything other than win. However, it was clear very early on that Yang wasn't going to back down.
This, really, was the drama of the final round, for me.

Jury sees photo of bloodied priest who man 'beat up for raping him when he was seven' - as video shows him saying he felt morally bound to attack him
The jury weighing the case of a man who beat up a priest who had raped him nearly 30 years earlier saw the aftermath of the brutal assault - photos of the bloodied clergyman slumped in a chair - during opening statements.
Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Vicki Gemetti began her 20-minute opening on Wednesday by displaying a blown-up image of a bruised and bloodied Rev Jerold Lindner.
Will Lynch, 44, is accused of beating the aging man in 2010 in front of witnesses at a retirement home for priests. Lindner was left bruised and in need of stitches.
Scroll down for video
Day of judgment: William Lynch, left, arrives at San Jose Court with his attorney Pat Harris for the opening of his trial. He is accused of beating up a priest who he says molested him as a child
He said he attacked the man for raping him when he was seven and forcing him to perform a sex act on his own brother, who was then four, while camping in Northern California in the 1970s.
Gemetti implored jurors to focus solely on the assault, which she said Will Lynch 'undeniably' committed.
Lynch has been charged with felony counts of assault and elder abuse.
She said: 'The defendant beat this man up because he was angry and he wanted revenge. The defendant planned and executed a violent attack against the man who molested him 30 years ago.'
Battle: Supporters greet Lynch outside the courthouse. He says the priest raped him when he was seven
'Sick': Rev. Jerold Lindner suffered bruises and required stitches after Lynch allegedly beat him up. Lynch said at least 12 people have come forward to claim they were abused by the Jesuit priest
Gemetti said the molestation was not a defense to the charges. She likened Lynch's actions to 'vigilante' justice.
Lynch's lawyer Pat Harris countered the prosecution with photos of Lynch and his younger brother, from around the time of the camping trip during his opening statement.
'This case did not begin in 2010,' Harris said. 'It began on a holiday weekend in the mid-1970s.'
Harris denied that Lynch intended to assault the priest when he showed up at the retirement home.
Harris didn't go into details during his own 20-minute opening statement, but promised the jury Lynch would testify and explain his actions.
Prosecutors also showed a short video clip of an emotional
Lynch describing the abuse he allegedly suffered at Lindner's hands in a tent
during the church camping trip.
In the video, Lynch said he felt it was his moral duty to attack the priest.
He is heard saying: 'I'm empowered. I'm in charge of my destiny.'
Earlier Wednesday, the prosecutors looking to put Lynch away for the assault astonishingly claimed evidence shows he was molested by the man he attacked.
Lawyers representing Lindner, a Jesuit priest, said in opening statements that, although the priest abused Lynch as a child, it did not give him the right to take the law into his own hands.
Satisfied: Lynch is pictured grinning in his mugshot after the alleged attack on Lindner in 2010
Lynch said he felt let down by the justice system, which could not haul Lindner to court as the statute of limitations had expired by the time victims told police about him.
'The defendant beat this man up because he was angry and he wanted revenge,' she said. 'The defendant planned and executed a violent attack against the man who molested him 30 years ago.'
Lindner is expected to take the stand in the trial - a moment Lynch previously said he was looking forward to, as the man would finally have to face public judgment for his crimes.
Lynch, who now lives in San Fransisco, is charged with felony counts of assault and elder abuse. In his mugshot following the beating, he was captured grinning.
Since his arrest, Lynch has refused
to discuss a plea deal, which would have put him behind bars for a year.
Lynch, who was intent on Lindner having to testify, now risks four years in jail if convicted.
The Lynches were raped in the woods
and forced to commit sex acts on each other while Lindner watched,
according to a civil lawsuit and the recent interview where Lynch
detailed the abuse.
Lindner has been accused of abuse by nearly a dozen people, including his own sister and nieces and nephews, but was never criminally charged because the allegations were too old.
He has previously denied abusing the Lynch boys and said in a deposition from the late 1990s that he didn't recall the siblings.
The brothers settled with the Jesuits of the California Province for $625,000 in 1998.
'Victim': Lynch (pictured left and right, centre) said he was on a camping trip with Father Jerry when he was abused with his young brother (pictured right). They received a payout from the church in 1998
The judge overseeing the case has ruled that Lynch's lawyer can ask the priest about the allegations of sexual assault during cross-examination.
If Lindner denies the accusations, attorney Pat Harris can call up to three other witnesses who claim they were also molested by Lindner as children, including Lynch's younger brother.
But the judge's order only allows the defense to ask general questions about sexual abuse for the purpose of challenging Lindner's credibility as a witness.
Getting Lindner into court - even as a victim - has helped Lynch find the peace he has sought his entire life.
'I don't want to go to jail but I've come to realize that this whole thing is really bigger than me and the way that I've chosen to handle this is to make a statement,' Lynch told the AP.
Broken: In a recent interview, Lynch broke down as he explained how the horrific abuse has plagued his life
'I'm prepared to take responsibility for anything I've been involved in. I'm willing to do it. I think it's a small sacrifice to get Father Jerry into court.'
Lynch, who suffered years of alcoholism and attempted to commit suicide following the abuse, said he feels he will be comforted by the trial, whatever the outcome.
'He still comes into my dreams now. He
just took ownership of me in a way that's hard to get rid of and I have
to learn how to live with him,' Lynch said of the priest.
'My expectations are realistic, but I'm also coming into this for the first time sort of in control of my life.'
connected Lynch to the May 2010 attack using phone records.
Half an
hour before the beating, a man named 'Eric' called the home and said
someone would arrive shortly to inform Lindner of a family member's
Putting up a fight: Lynch refused to take a plea deal as he wanted to bring Lindner to court
Once there, Lynch asked the 65-year-old priest if he recognized him. After the priest said he did not, Lynch began punching him, according to a police account.
On a 911 tape, the assailant can be heard yelling, 'Turn yourself in or I'll (expletive) come back and kill you,' as a receptionist speaks to a dispatcher.
Lindner was able to drive himself to the hospital and has since recovered.
Lindner was named in two other lawsuits for abuse between 1973 and 1985, according to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Those cases were included in the record $660 million settlement between the church and more than 550 plaintiffs in 2007.

because time will tell
and the second with luck
click to highlight somehow
lost time is never found
totally puzzled on 3
bruteforced 3
both clocks on 9.00
4 is easy - do the same as the words
nr 5 is morse next to the text
to end look at the box and close it again
to be continued
a bit too much text for my liking
the game for me is very very dark ?
lol..I had to click : play chapter 2
thanks swiss...for the WT ;-)
Weird story. Also, the main character is incredibly emo. Justifiably so, I suppose, but still.
Also, was this shorter than Part 1, or is it just me? Or did it seem shorter 'cause the puzzles were easier?
4 hint
I'm giving up on the morse code : the letters don't make sense, and how much long is the word we are supposed to find ?!
I can't find the word on puzzle 4. Something finishing with "ark"... English is not my first language, it's very hard!
Pop! There was a morse code by the text... Here is the word:
Hmmm how important is it that I have my sound on for this game?? In other words... can I play this at work or not? Lol :D
Or is it not important, but just nice music?
By the way... the hint for the 3rd puzzle is in the writing (the word 'planets' is flashing a bit) so guessing that is why they clocks need to be set at 9?
And out :)
the last puzzle's answer is spark

UTEP Softball to Start a String of Home Games
March 25, 2013
EL PASO, Texas – The UTEP softball team is set to play seven games at the Helen of Troy Softball Complex this week. The Miners (10-15, 1-4 C-USA) will start with Siena (5-11) in a doubleheader starting at 3 p.m. MT on Tuesday.
This will be UTEP's first-ever meeting with Siena. Game two is slated for 5 p.m. MT.
The Miners are coming off the weekend where they had to cancel another game due to inclement weather but was able to get two games in on Sunday. The Orange and Blue took the first game, 10-4, as senior Ashley Collazo hit a three-run home run but lost game two, 4-3, in the ninth. Southern Miss' Mackenzie Sher hit a bases-loaded sac-fly to win the game.
Junior Alanna Leasau has been productive leading the squad with six long balls and 28 RBI. Freshman Kawehiokalani Netane is hitting .349 and is tied with senior Kayla Oranger with 15 runs scored. Oranger is batting .333 and leads the team with nine stolen bases, six off Chelsea Troupe's school record (15). Junior Erika Arcuri leads the team in runs scored (17) and walks (11). Sophomore Ariel Armendariz has produced some positive numbers since officially making the roster on Feb. 23. The El Paso native leads the team with a .455 average, is tied second on the team with three doubles and has knocked in six runs.
In the circle, freshman Danielle Pearson has pitched 82.2 innings and has a team-leading five wins. Junior Colleen Hohman leads with 47 strikeouts and has four wins. Both have produced in the batters box with nine RBI each.
The Saints are currently on a three-game losing streak with their last loss coming at the hands of New Mexico, 5-2, in Albuquerque, N.M. Jessika – Jo Sandrini and Alyssa Lancaster each have 10 RBI to lead Siena, while Paige Lloyd is hitting .440 with two home runs.
UTEP will face Siena again in another doubleheader on Wednesday, game one starting 1 p.m. MT.

"We did bad last year," Qvale said. "I was an all-state selection the past two years as an offensive tackle. We don't keep track of stats."
At 6-foot-7 and 300-pounds, Qvale has size. He claims that he has the strength and technique to go with it to make him a legit division one prospect.
"I would say my physical strength and positioning. Getting to where you need to be, beating a defensive player and a lot of technique."
While Qvale might be a legit division one prospect he has yet to pull in a division one offer. He is getting some serious interest though from some division one teams.
"I have an offer from North Dakota, North Dakota State, Montana and Montana State. I am getting interest from Nebraska, Iowa State, Iowa and Wisconsin."
Out of the teams having offered and out of the teams showing him interest, Qvale has a top three. He is really looking at the tradition of the three schools.
"The top three schools for me would have to be Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin. They're big football school. They have tradition."
Qvale is looking at a team, the fit and academics when it comes to his decision. "I want to look at their team, what offense they run, how I fit in and what does their team need. I will also look at academics a lot."
The Huskers will host Qvale first on Thursday. He will be in Lincoln Wednesday, but will be in for a one day camp on Thursday. From there, it gets hectic.
"I am going to camp at Nebraska, Iowa State, Iowa and Wisconsin. I will do all four in five days. I want to get that division one offer."

This is a presentation/display case I had made for my father's retirement gift. It has two pretty conventional hasp-type closures on the side. These have locks built into them, so they can be secured at the owner's discretion. If your character keeps the case locked, he could simply break the glass to access the pistol, though breaking glass and reaching through it is seldom as blood-free as it is in the movies.
The pistol itself is held in place by pressure from the thick foam that is hidden under the red felt. This presses the pistol against the glass, and friction keeps the pistol from moving/sinking/falling.

A day of wandering under the grey skies of Torquay, while Round 3 finishes and Round 4 begins at Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach
By Travis Ferré
Photos and Captions by Jimmicane
There are a lot of lulls at ASP events. Like, a lot. And if you're not as lucky as I, you have to face them without VIP beer and slow-motion replay. For that, I'm sorry. Unless you're watching the webcast of course, which, well, you enjoy it however you like. Background gangster rap. Indie rock. The girl's soccer team. I don't judge. It takes something though. You decide. (Go with the girl's soccer team).TB disects AI.
For us at the event, however, we face modern Red Hot Chili Peppers albums. Offspring's greatest hits. And we come face to face with the fact that we will never, ever "be your butterfly, sugar baby."Simpo simply got worked.
"I don't think I can listen to this stuff ever again," Dane tells me of the Rip Curl Pro background music. I of course agree. Dane speaks the gospel. The dude loses and proceeds to hang out and observe, with zero negativity to speak of. His only post-heat quote: "Someone's gotta lose," which he says with a beaver-tooth chuckle. After losing today (to Roy Powers in a completely fair heat, but let's leave that to the ASP press release) we spent most of the day talking and wandering around the event. Looking for music and entertainment. It took about three heats of wandering before we found a place to house us: The Beer Garden. There we solved many of the problems that exist at an event. The lulls. The music. The bad commentators (I love you Freddy P.). It can all be solved with a little bit of what we like to call "Situational Music."Bells was sick.
For those of you who have been to a major sporting event, you're very aware that they rarely let you sit for very long in silence. They know we're there to have a good time watching an event. Even Major League Baseball has some fun, i.e. the 7th inning stretch, a lot of clapping, "we will, we will rock you" etc.Jordy is legendary.
But as a sport of "self expression" we're starting to think we need DJ's to make this translate. "Wouldn't it be rad if we had situational music?" Dane asked me. "Each surfer picked music to play. Maybe whoever had priority would get their music played. Or whoever was winning. Everyone on tour could pick their own playlist."Dane shoulda won… if he got good waves.
Now let's really consider this. Later, after Freddy P (my hero) lost to Adriano, he joined us in the garden for a beer and agreed. The tour needs some energy, some music. "I like it," Freddy said. We then wandered into strategy. He already showed us how he feels about commentators.Freddy P, always keepin it real.
"Maybe if you knew your competitor hated Lady Gaga, you could put that one," Dane said. "You would rattle them when they needed a score." He said this with a competitive grin.Boures not doing a double grab. Thank god.
Neco could get us all as psyched on his techno. Dusty Payne could spray us all with Pepper jams. Kelly could serenade us with Eddie Vedder. Whatever. A DJ would be on call. Rattle or psyche. It would make me watch. Dane and Fred too.Tanner shoulda won too.
"This was a conversation I had with Kelly," Dane told me later. "So he deserves some credit, but this could help." And we agree. Something needs to happen to get the fans excited. The surfers are now doing their part. Everyone today ripped super hard, every time a wave came in. Every time. The only problem was that the waves didn't come in all that often, and that's a problem we can fix, with Situational Music.
Just a thought, but one you should all consider.Dusty harnesses his inner Alberga.
To give you a summary of the day's event (though I'm sure we've established by now that this isn't where you should come for heat by heat recap): Brett Simpson got weird with the judges for some strange scores (deservedly so). Dane lost. Kelly beat Dusty in a heat that was "very weird" to a lot of humans in attendance (Dane and myself in the beer garden, with replay and Toohey's Extra Dry). Kelly allegedly hurt his ankle last night surfing Bells too, which was a big conversation piece at the event. One we didn't have, however — we were talking Situational Music. Check the recap, you'll see what I mean. Tanner Gudauskas again proved he's a serious threat on this tour. Taj showed he's the man to beat. Mick won. Joel won. We're four heats through Round 4 (go watch the heats on demand) and we'll finish the next day there are waves here in Torquay. Until then, we'll be betting on the dogs, killing our idols and rubbing our hands together for the final day to see who wins the 2010 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach.Pancho Sullivan and Dylan Slater have been the webcast commentators and have no affiliation to the on-beach commentators, who have been under major scrutiny from the surfers at the event.

If you have your CWP, why give up the tactical advantage of surprise. I love guns, but some dirtbag OC'ing anywhere you mention does not give me any warm fuzzies.

If you have your CWP, why give up the tactical advantage of surprise. I love guns, but some dirtbag OC'ing anywhere you mention does not give me any warm fuzzies.
The 1987 statewide ban on open carry was blow-back from "Shall-Issue" Concealed Carry and Firearms Law Preemption passing the legislature. Janet Reno lead the change to have OC banned because it was a way to lash out against Florida gun owners for having just won a seven year long fight to pass statewide concealed carry. Read here: Janet Reno's Ban on Open Carry in Florida - Orlando gun rights | Examiner.com
Simply stated, the gun carriers of Florida have proven over nearly 25 years that they are typically responsible, skilled, and law abiding. They can certainly be expected to make their own intelligent choices about their method of carry based on the time, place, and circumstance they find themselves in.
It is also a Constitutional Issue...
Critical to the United States Supreme Court's holding in Heller was that bans on handguns are analogous to bans on openly carrying handguns in public and are therefore unconstitutional. In Heller, the United States Supreme Court made it clear that bans on open carry are severe restrictions that were rightfully struck down in multiple State Supreme Courts."Few laws in the history of our Nation have come close to the severe restriction of the District's handgun ban. And some of those few have been struck down. In Nunn v. State, the Georgia Supreme Court struck down a prohibition on carrying pistols openly (even though it upheld a prohibition on carrying concealed weapons). See 1 Ga., at 251. In Andrews v. State, the Tennessee Supreme Court likewise held that a statute that forbade openly carrying a pistol "publicly or privately, without regard to time or place, or circumstances," 50 Tenn., at 187,violated the state constitutional provision (which the court equated with the Second Amendment). That was so even though the statute did not restrict the carrying of long guns. See also State v. Reid, 1 Ala. 612, 616-617 (1840) ("A statute which, under the pretence of regulating, amounts to a destruction of the right, or which requires arms to be so borne as to render them wholly useless for the purpose of defence, would be clearly unconstitutional").
It is no answer to say, as petitioners do, that it is permissible to ban the possession of handguns so long as the possession of other firearms (i.e., long guns) is allowed." District of Columbia v. Heller, U.S., 128 S.Ct. 2783, 171 L.Ed.2d 637 (2008),
In Heller, the United States Supreme Court notably pointed out that:"in State v. Chandler, 5 La. Ann. 489, 490 (1850), the Louisiana Supreme Court held that citizens had a right to carry arms openly: "This is the right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, and which is calculated to incite men to a manly and noble defence of themselves, if necessary, and of their country, without any tendency to secret advantages and unmanly assassinations." District of Columbia v. Heller, 128 S. Ct. 2783 (2008)
Deterrence is widely considered to be the first, and most effective, method of self defense. Carrying a concealed firearm presents to a would-be criminal that a person is unarmed and is therefore an easier target for aggression. The requirement that arms be concealed removes all deterrent value that a person is bearing arms, and is therefore likely to be able to effectively defend themselves and those around them. In absence of a uniformed, openly armed, law enforcement officer; only the passive thought that there is a 4% possibility that anyone may be secretly armed remains to deter aggression. The requirement that handguns may only be carried concealed destroys all but the most fleeting thought of consequence to serve as deterrence for self-defence.
Presenting a handgun for immediate self defense from a concealed holster is typically much more difficult, and slower, than drawing a handgun that is not encumbered by layers of clothing or concealing implements. In close proximity to an attacker, drawing from concealment may be impossible to accomplish in time when faced with a dynamic threat to life and limb.
Although the United States Supreme Court indicated that restrictive regulations on concealed carry are presumably constitutional, bans on carrying unconcealed arms are not."Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. ... For example, the majority of the 19th-century courts to consider the question held that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment or state analogues. See, e.g., State v. Chandler, 5 La. Ann., at 489-490; Nunn v. State, 1 Ga., at 251; see generally 2 Kent *340, n. 2; The American Students' Blackstone 84, n. 11 (G. Chase ed. 1884)." District of Columbia v. Heller, U.S., 128 S.Ct. 2783, 171 L.Ed.2d 637 (2008),
Florida's unconcealed carry ban is precisely the scenario that the Alabama Supreme Court warned against and the United States Supreme Court used as justification for overturning the DC handgun ban."But the court say that it is a matter which will not admit of legislative regulation, and in order to test the correctness of its opinion, supposes one Legislature to prohibit the bearing arms secretly, and a subsequent Legislature to enact a law against bearing them openly; and then asks the question, whether the first, or last enactment would be unconstitutional. Under the provision of our constitution, we incline to the opinion that the Legislature cannot inhibit the citizen from bearing arms openly, because it authorizes him to bear them for the purposes of defending himself and the State, and it is only when carried openly, that they can be efficiently used for defence." State v. Reid, 1 Ala. 612, 616-617 (1840)
It would be nonsensical for the United States Supreme Court to have found such persuasive support for its Heller and McDonald positions in Nunn v. State, Andrews v. State, State v. Reid, and State v. Chandler yet still reject the result of all of these cases that bans on open carry are unconstitutional."To be sure, in rejecting the District of Columbia's argument that the Second Amendment provided only a collective right connected to militia service, Heller relied on at least two 19th-century state supreme court cases interpreting the Second Amendment as protecting an individual right to carry weapons openly (but not concealed) in public. More specifically, Heller cited approvingly to Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. 243 (1846), in which "the Georgia Supreme Court construed the Second Amendment as protecting the `natural right of self-defence' and therefore struck down a ban on carrying pistols openly." Heller, 128 S. Ct. at 2809 (quoting Nunn, 1 Ga. at 251). The Heller majority described Nunn as "perfectly captur[ing] the way in which the operative clause of the Second Amendment furthers" the Amendment's purpose. Id. Similarly, Heller's dicta also cited with approval to State v. Chandler, 5 La. Ann. 489 (1850), in which "the Louisiana Supreme Court held that citizens had a right to carry arms openly" under the Second Amendment. Heller, 128 S. Ct. at 2809 (citing Chandler, 5 La. Ann. at 490)." US v. MASCIANDARO, Dist. Court, ED Virginia 2009
The United States Supreme Court's dicta in Robertson v. Baldwin, 165 US 275 (1897) at 282 pointed out that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms (art. 2) is not infringed by laws prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons;" (emphasis added). If this is so, and a prohibition on concealed carry is at the whim of the legislature, then how are they to be born if not openly?
In Davis v. State the Florida Supreme Court also clearly stated that legislature's constitutional authority to regulate the manner of bearing arms is limited to preventing the "bearing of weapons by the unskilled, the irresponsible, and the lawless.""Doubtless the guarantee ("The right of the people to bear arms in defence of themselves, and the lawful authority of the State, shall not be infringed") was intended to secure to the people the right to carry weapons for their protection while the proviso ("but the Legislature may prescribe the manner in which they may be borne. ") was designed to protect the people also — from the bearing of weapons by the unskilled, the irresponsible, and the lawless." Davis v. State, 146 So. 2d 892 - Fla: Supreme Court 1962
Florida's open carry ban goes far beyond a regulation on the manner of bearing arms by unskilled, irresponsible, and lawless people; it completely bans the entire method of carry regardless of time, place, or circumstance except for some narrow exceptions; It was in no way calculated to prevent the "bearing of weapons by the unskilled, the irresponsible, and the lawless"."A statute which, under the pretence of regulating, amounts to a destruction of the right, or which requires arms to be so borne as to render them wholly useless for the purpose of defence, would be clearly unconstitutional." State v. Reid, 1 Ala. 612 (1840)"[A] legitimate governmental purpose in regulating the right to bear arms cannot be pursued by means that broadly stifle the exercise of this right where the governmental purpose can be more narrowly achieved." Comeau, 233 Neb. at 910, 448 N.W.2d at 598.
The Open Carry Ban generally prohibits the carry of firearms that are unconcealed even for those people to which the state has issued a license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm. It is therefore overbroad and unconstitutional in all of its possible applications.

This is why I let you guys do the talking.... and I just donate my money!
A wise Florida instructor once told me....
If 1 of every 1000 gun owners open carried in Wal Mart, the soccer moms would scream and rush their kids out the door.
If 100 of every 1000 gun owners open carried, the soccer moms would glare and grumble under their breath.
If 500 of every 1000 open carried the soccer moms would complain about how much cheese cost and look for deals on toilet paper and dog bones.
Try not to screw up so bad they name the screw up after you. (Station 15 saying)

OC ... Quite a subject to debate = grasp a can opener, pickup a can ah worms, attach opener to can, rotate openers handle
The one disadvantage that first comes to mind is how do you know the OC`ing person isn't a felon and shouldn't have a gun in the first place? Are we going to enlist a group of OC inspectors to check everyone OC`ing out? Is it better to CCW so if some dirt-bag sez give me your money and doesn't know you are carrying because he can't see you are and now he's lookin down the barrel of your gun thinkin OH itsha
I don't care one way or the other, I'd love to OC so I can hear all the ooooo`s and ahhhhh`s when I take my $2500 safe-star out for a stroll instead of having to hid it from plan sight.
So instead of just coping out with a "well we already have enough problems here, or I don't think it's a good idea" post.
Give us a concrete treat as to why you would or why not? I just gave you two; one as to why I would, and one as to why I would not. Next
Would OC be a blanket policy for everyone, or would there be an OC license? I would hope so there's some control like with CC. Even with some controls, I'm afraid too many wannabe cowboys & lawmen would be totin iron.
I wonder if subcompacts would become less popular if OCing was normal practice?

For the past three weeks, the Tennessee football team has participated in a community service project with Habitat for Humanity by helping to build a house in south Knoxville for a family in need. On Saturday morning, the Vol seniors will complete the project by installing trim and cabinets, plus other finishing touches.
The Vols have teamed up with Habitat for Humanity through the community service component of the Vol For Life (VFL) program. The UT freshman class kicked off the project on June 4 by handling work related to the frame and roof, followed by the team's sophomores installing vinyl siding June 11 and the junior class taking care of painting work on June 18. Saturday morning, the seniors will finish the job.
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. To accomplish these goals, the organization invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need. Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller, along with his wife, Linda. Today, it has helped build more than 400,000 decent, affordable houses and served more than two million people around the world.

Show Buildings Preps for Market
October 3, 2005,
New York — The Feil Organization, 261 Fifth Ave.'s new owner as of late August, is preparing for its first home textiles market, making some improvements to the building and talking to industry-related tenants about their needs for next month's event.
Already, the building has ordered new carpeting for the elevators, arranged for around-the-clock front desk service and security during market, begun cleaning all of the windows and sent a letter to home textiles tenants asking them of any special needs.
The building will also serve breakfast at the lobby from Oct. 14 through 20 for tenants and their guests.
Up the street, at mainstay 295 Fifth Ave., dubbed the Textiles Building, improvements to elevators will be completed by the end of this week.
Claude Litton, president of Manhattan Properties Co., which owns 295, said the building's 10 elevators — eight regular and two freight — will all be updated and fully automated for faster service between floors in time for market.
Also enhanced is the building's security system. Video cameras have been added to all exits and entrances, the loading dock, elevators and the common areas throughout the building. "We record everything and keep it for four weeks," Litton said.
The newest tenants at 295 include: Home Fashions International/American Decorative Fabrics in suite 812, an 11,800-square-foot space formerly home to three separate companies' showrooms; Bacova Guild/Gulistan, which took Orian's and Santen's formerly shared space in suite 104, an 11,000-square-foot showroom; and Kassatex, which expanded its real estate, moving to Bacova's former 5,000-square-foot space in suite 812 from its smaller site at 1216.
Down south on Fifth Avenue, at 230, the elevators there, too, are being upgraded for quicker response, and the restrooms and corridors are being revamped with completion slated for 2007.
230 boasts several new tenants. They include: Brunton International on the 10th floor; Eagle Textiles on the seventh floor; Perry Textiles on the seventh floor; the Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council, sponsored by the government of India, on the 10th floor; and Linens 'N Essentials on the 10th floor. Also, several existing home textiles tenants have expanded their spaces in the building.

I have a 05 WRX with 67k miles. When my car is still warming up and when at idle for more than about 30 seconds a lot of white smoke comes out of the tailpipe when I take off.
I asked people I know about this problem, and I looked around different forums for people who have a similar problem. I heard many things but nothing serious. I even asked my tech at the tuner shop what was causing this. He said it should not be anything to worry about. WRONG!
When my tech at the tuner shop installed new brakes recently he told me he let my car sit at idle for about 5min while he was checking the brakes. When he revved the engine a lot of white smoke came out from the tailpipe. I said "told you so." He then said he should check it out because of the amount of smoke that came out.
To make a long story short, he looked into it and told me that my valve seals on cylinder 1 and 3 are leaking and I need to replace them, as well as the other seals (might as well) and the head gaskets of course.
ALSO, when he pulled off my intercooler, he saw a lot of oil in the pipe leading to the intercooler. He told me to get a new turbo or ship it off to be fixed.
He charges $75/hr, so labor alone is going to be $1500. He says he has to take out the engine to get to the heads and labor for this takes about 15 hours.
I am just pissed. How could this happen? What could I have been doing to my car to have this happen? I take great care of it. I dont even drive it hard. I bought a Subaru to avoid problems like this. Sorry for *****ing.
Is this normal for these cars? Why so soon? Can anyone give me some kind of feedback please?
