Michael Rankine admitted to reliving the pain of last year's relegation with Aldershot Town before securing Hereford United's Skrill Premier future amid a dramatic finale at the ESS Stadium.
The target man, returning to the club where he suffered a heartbreaking drop from the Football League 12 months ago, was staring through the trapdoor yet again before popping up with an 87th-minute winner to seal three precious points for the cash-strapped Bulls.
And it proved absolutely crucial for Peter Beadle's men when news filtered through of Jamie White's late equaliser for Salisbury at Chester, ensuring that both clubs stayed up by virtue of goal difference.
"It's gone from being the worst season to the best in a matter of seconds," said Rankine, who celebrated with 800 joyous travelling fans afterwards. "It's an amazing feeling that Aldershot and Hereford are both staying up. I couldn't ask for anything more and hopefully both go on to build from this.
"It was a tough season here last season, and it's been just as tough this year, but it's only making me stronger.
"When we conceded the equaliser I thought 'here we go again' but we've shown determination and grit all season and we got our reward."
With safety all but secured with their 2-1 win at rivals Woking on Easter Monday, Aldershot's end-of-season party was never in danger of being pooped, merely added to by the fans, players and coaches of a club who face a long, arduous summer of off-field battles, not too dissimilar to the darkened days that loomed over these parts 12 months ago.
Perhaps key to Hereford's survival both on and off the field is young starlet Jarrod Bowen.
The 17-year-old attacking midfielder scored his first senior goal against Alfreton on Monday and was the focus of a number of top scouts, including Premier League big guns Tottenham Hotspur.
Indeed, his bright start kept alert not only his admirers but also Aldershot keeper Glenn Morris, who got down to save an early effort with his legs as the Bulls charged early.
Aldershot, though, came through their own test of character at Woking on Monday and showed they weren't ready to lie down with Manny Oyeleke firing just wide with a 22-yard effort and Mark Molesley curling another just the wrong side of the upright.
But just when news of Chester's early lead threatened to dampen their high spirits, they were sent into raptures when they took a 27th-minute lead. Jamie Edge's low corner from the left wasn't dealt with by the Aldershot defence, Frankie Artus' effort was cleared on the line and Sam Smith was on hand to tap home from three yards out.
Salisbury's equaliser at the Deva Stadium made the half-time cuppa taste all the better for the travelling fans – and it almost got even sweeter five minutes into the re-start when Luke Graham headed home Artus' free-kick from the right, only for his effort to be ruled out for offside.
Bowen could, and should, have doubled the lead when latching onto Glenn Morris' weak headed clearance only to be thwarted by the back-tracking keeper and blazing the loose ball over the bar.
Chants of "two-one to the Chester boys" from the home contingent, however, soon silenced the visitors – their nerves not helped either by two near misses from Adam Mekki and a Mark Phillips header which glanced just wide. Hereford were on their last legs.
And finally, with 15 minutes to go, their luck ran out. Good work from Mekki and Molesley down the left channel saw the ball run to Oyeleke, who thundered the ball home from 22 yards inside the near post.
But just when they looked down and out, they hit back with a bolt from the blue. Substitute Dan Walker broke down the right, cut in and centred for Michael Rankine to tap home from six yards.
Within seconds, news filtered through of White's late equaliser came and the Bulls saw out a nervy final few minutes to seal a famous escape act.
"Fair play to them, " congratulated Shots boss Andy Scott, just mightily relieved not to be involved in a final-day slugfest. "We knew their situation and they battled right to the end for their club.
"No-one wants to see clubs get relegated and lose their livelihoods but they've managed to stay up so good for them."
"We were a bit emotionally drained from staying up last weekend and a bit flat today. We tried to get a lift from the fans and got back into the game but didn't pass the ball the way we can and gave away a really sloppy goal.
"It's been a pressure cooker for us throughout the whole season so to say we stayed up at Woking...I think the fans will be happy with that."
Aldershot: Morris; Tonkin, Phillips, Oastler, Barker (Roberts 78); Molesley (Rowlands 88), Stanley, Oyeleke, Mekki (Bubb 84); Williams, Scott. Subs: Paterson, L Williams.

Augustana Center Serves as the First Inpatient Rehab Setting in New York City Area to Utilize ArmeoBoom Technology
Augustana Center Serves as the First Inpatient Rehab Setting in New York City Area to Utilize ArmeoBoom Technology
Posted Date: 7/2/2014
NYU Lutheran's sub-acute facility, the Augustana Center is currently home to one of a limited number of ArmeoBoom rehab devices. The center is the first in the New York City area to trial the device. This therapy specifically helps to improve mobility, range of motion and coordinated arm movements. The device, used by physical and occupational therapists, has treated stroke rehab patients over the last three months at Augustana. The Augustana Center is at the forefront of this technology advancement and the first post-acute center in the New York City area to utilize this groundbreaking therapeutic concept.
The Armeo therapy concept is based on the principle of repetitive training enabled by weight compensation motivation through augmented feedback. Arm movements of the patient are assessed in real-time and used to interact with the Armeo Control therapy software.
The device supports functional movement in patients while training mobility through the use of videogame-like software specifically designed to meet the needs of patients with different impairment levels. Scores and levels attained by patients taking part in activities such as catching falling drops of water with a cup or cleaning a stovetop can be tracked in the system in order to compare progress and create new goals in recovery.
The role of neuroplasticity is widely recognized in healthy development, learning, memory, and recovery from a brain injury. Despite the severity of the stroke or age of the patient, research suggests that there is still potential for neural plasticity even years after a stroke. New connections can be made through intensive, repetitive and task-oriented movements. The ArmeoBoom improves the efficiency of therapy treatments because the exercises are self-initiated, self-directed, functional and intense. Even severely impaired patients can practice independently, without the constant presence of a therapist, allowing patients to exploit their full potential for recovery.
May Tang, occupational therapist, explained that it's helpful for the patients who use the device, "to have a mental image while they are focusing on their movements. It makes them feel like they are actually accomplishing something real and tangible."
Deborah Leak (at right), a patient who has been using the ArmeoBoom in addition to her regular therapy for the past two months, explains, "I'm addicted! It's very exciting and more challenging than other exercises and you get to use your brain." Deborah regularly tries to beat her previous scores and advance to new levels.

©1994 Sandra Brown; (P)2009 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Loved It!"
I've listend to a few Sandra Brown books and this one was the best. I even listened to it again straight after I enjoyed it that much. The twists and turns were brilliant. Thank you for a great read/listen...makes my nights at work go much quicker...thanks
"Awesome story!"
This is an awesome story with great characters and a thrilling plot. The story was long, but there were several twists and turns in the story to fill the time. And the narrator was fantastic!
Not sure what the previous reviewer disliked this story so much. I found it thoroughly entertaining and well worth the credit!
There is WAY TOO MUCH filler. So much going on that is really not important at all. I get why some of the characters were introduced - but too much time was spent on completely insignificant stories. Additionally, the trip to South America was way too farfetched and lent little to the story.
Yes. I have enjoyed some of her works in the past.
I dont remember. However, I though she did an excellent job on the different characters.
I am writing this review mainly because I depend on reviews in making my decisions. This book is ok. I agree with previous reviewers that said the main characters were unlikeable. Honestly, I couldn't have cared less if they ended up together or not. I really dont know why they did based on the events of the story. On top of that, the woman was an idiot. She supposedly made these career decisions against the will of her parents and made decisions about going to South American - decisions that would make one think she strong willed; however, she sits by and lets the men in her life make decisons that ruin her life. Those are conflicting personality traits that make her unlikeable. And the main guy is just a major jerk.
"Not up to expectations"
I decided to pick up Where There's Smoke after devouring both Mirror Image and White Hot. I'm glad it was on sale. The story wasn't bad, but it didn't live up to my high expectations after reading the first 2 books. Although the book maintained a good pace throughout with many twists and turns, I had a hard time enjoying it, especially after its conclusion.
One of the big problems with the audiobook was that the main characters weren't likable. Key was more relatable than Lara, but halfway through the book he was still acting like a playboy. And while Lara wasn't a bad person, I found her very self-righteous, which turned me off her character. She was always preaching or harping at someone, which was funny since an affair had landed her in her current situation.
However, my biggest dislikes were the sex scenes and the final mystery. Usually I have no issues with sex in books, but in this case I found the vocabulary used vulgar. It wasn't sexy at all! And then the twist at the very end also put me off. Had it been revealed closer to the beginning I would have found Lara more relatable.
Although Where There's Smoke was an entertaining audiobook that contained a maze of mysteries, there are better books out there, including ones by Sandra Brown. I guess I'll just have to resume my search for the perfect book, because I didn't find it here.
"Great book"
Wow! I really enjoyed this book. Especially the narration. She did an amazing job on every character. If I could give her more stars I would.
Just when I thought I had the story figured out it twisted in a different way.
"Lifetime movie"
This is a great author and I hope that they make a miniseries I did this movie
But I will book for her name on other books for narrators
Not one in particular there were many not one that I would remember
"LOVED most of the story and narration!"
I have to say that this Narrator was good. Except when she over acted. She narrated this book like she was on stage rather than narrating a book. She laughed way too hard at times and just over acted. Had to pull out my earbuds a few times when she over yelled out her frustration here and there. Ouch!! Other than that she was good.
The story kept my interest 90% of the time. I loved listening to the saga of a Texas oil family and all the woe's inside the relationships. Loved hearing how Key was such a tough SOB! I like Dr. Laura and how she handled Key and her horrible past reputation.
LOVED Boohey and Jen Ellen's love story. SO sweet.
Hated Jody the mother and of course it was meant to hate her.
The only thing I grew tired of was the saga when they flew down to South America and all that went on. Very hard to grasp and so unrealistic.
Lots of twists and turns and of course the final twist made me say.... WHAT??? Oh Please. It just was way out there. But OH Well,, it ended the story and all was put together.
I give this 4 stars but it was a good book. Just not 5 stars. Worth the time to listen to it though.
I love Sandra Brown and have listened to many of her books. This is up there, but just beware of a few disappointments.
"handsome goes both ways"
A great book, full of surprises. You will love the doc and all she endures as a lady as well as the new doc in town.
"Another good one"
Love Sandra Brown....never know where the twist and turns will take you! loved it all
The twists & turns keep you on the edge of your seat. Excitement, blood chilling, romance all twisted together. Three thumbs up!!!

Swedish tennis legend Mats Wilander is one of the greatest players ever to pick up a racquet.
The seven-times Grand Slam champion rose to the very top of the game in the late 1980s, and has now become one of tennis's pithiest commentators.
Edgy, opinionated and never less than brutally honest, Wilander exclusively offers Eurosport the benefit of his frankly brilliant chat.
Come back soon for Mats' video interview with Argentine star Juan Martin del Potro.

Vic Government's synchrotron still searching for financial backing
Broadcast: 11/4/2003
Reporter: Kerri Ritchie
KERRI RITCHIE, REPORTER: Its name sounds more like a carnival ride than a science project but aboard the Synchrotron it'll be research taking a rollercoaster ride into the future and scientists say the possibilities are endless.
PROFESSOR ROB LEWIS, MONASH UNIVERSITY: It's a bit like saying, you know, you can do a lot of things with a flash light. If you take your torch on a hike you may look at a plant with it, you may look at a tree with it, you may look at a rock on the ground, you may spot a wombat or something. The Synchrotron is a bit the same. It's a tool for looking at things and there's a lot of things you want to look at.
KERRI RITCHIE: The Synchrotron has scientists like Professor Rob Lewis in a spin. The light generated by the Synchrotron will enable scientists to examine the basic structure of materials more closely than any other scientific tool - from plants and minerals to cancer cells. The facility, which will be the size of a football oval, will be built at Monash University in Clayton on a site which was once a drive-in movie theatre but is now a far less glamorous student car park. It will be Australia's first Synchrotron. Japan has 22, America has 10. Explaining in simple terms how it works and what it'll do is where it gets tricky for scientists.
PROFESSOR ROB LEWIS: It's perhaps like trying to describe what a computer does, in that on one level you can say a computer actually just does calculations and at that level you can say a Synchrotron produces light. But that still doesn't give people much of an understanding as to what you do with it.
PROFESSOR JOHN BOLDEMAN, SYNCHROTRON DESIGNER: People who are not familiar with it, they have difficulty putting their tongues around Synchrotron and even I find it difficult to say the word Synchrotron.
KERRI RITCHIE: Professor John Boldeman designed Melbourne's Synchrotron. Inside the facility billions of electrons travelling at great speeds will be propelled to an outer ring where they'll hit a magnet, producing a beam of light more intensely bright than any other light source on earth. The beam will be transported to a series of small labs within the building, allowing a range of different experiments to use the light at any one time. Professor Rob Lewis has had to rely on using synchrotrons overseas for his research, analysing how breast cancer changes proteins.
PROFESSOR ROB LEWIS: We are looking in enormous detail at proteins and why do we want to look at proteins? Well, we want to cure people's diseases and we want to make new drugs. And if you don't have a Synchrotron essentially we won't be able to do that. And that means everybody else in the world will be making the new drugs and making money out of it and Australia won't.
KERRI RITCHIE: Australian scientists were forced to use a Synchrotron in America to help design the anti-flu drug Relenza. It's the economic spin-offs of discoveries like that one that make an Australian Synchrotron a highly-desired piece of equipment.
STEVE BRACKS, VICTORIAN PREMIER: Long term, millions and millions of dollars potentially as products are developed, commercialised...
KERRI RITCHIE: For some time, Victoria and Queensland were neck and neck in the race to develop Australia's Synchrotron. While the Federal Government considered their bids. Victoria announced it would go it alone, at a cost of $206 million. The Victorian Government had envisaged paying only half that, with the rest from private investment. But finding a backer hasn't been easy, and the State Government has now upped its commitment to $157 million. To the Government's relief the Synchrotron has just found its first private investor, albeit with a contribution of just $600,000. Undeterred, it's confident there'll be more private funding and the taxpayer won't foot the entire bill.
PROFESSOR JOHN BOLDEMAN: For each kilometre of a freeway it costs about $20 million - for a kilometre of a freeway. So if we are now talking about - it's equivalent to, say, 10km of a freeway. Maybe it's equal to a bridge. Now, sure, these things are very important but, in fact, will a freeway produce a new drug? Will it clean up, say, environmental problems in this country? We're talking about breast cancer, things like this. Do you think 20km of freeway will do that?
KERRI RITCHIE: Construction will begin in September and the Synchrotron is expected to be up and running in 2007.
PROFESSOR ROB LEWIS: I suppose it's the same as - I don't know - a footy team having a new stadium built or something. It will make an enormous difference to the way we do science in Australia. This is the future of Australia. If we are going to compete in the world economy and become a knowledge-based economy, which is what I think we'd all like to be, then we have to have the facilities to do the research, to generate the ideas, to make the products that give us a future.

Hi all,
I just got a new '04 blue wagon this month :P Love it so far. I had a 98 outback sport that was great just guttless
No mods yet, I did get the arm rest,factory boost gauge,filtration system,cargo net,rear bumper protector and talked them into a rear view compass/dimming mirror
I plan on getting a new rear sway bar, not sure which yet. Been scouring this sight for info, seems like the stock 20mm sedan one would be ok with new drop links. I was thinking of the whiteline ones with the less compiant bushings. From what I read looks like the solid ones might be too harsh?
Also, been reading TONS hear on upgrading speakers. Thinking of Infinity Kappa 6.5's components for the front but cant get a real answer if these will go in without hacking. It looks like they will with the spacers from innovative auto. Any suggestions on sway bar/endlinks and speakers would be great!
oh, and new wheels next spring...right now thinking of getting 17" SSR competitions in anthracite. I have SSR integrals on my "other" Rex and love them.
sorry for the long post, back to searching for some answers

We steadied the boat with the oars, and I thought we were doing real good.
Knife and fork push against one another rhythmically on the plate, like oars on a boat.
It is clear to you that she intends to use the staves as oars.
The turbulent waters caused one of his oars to crack, which—without a motor or a sail—can be severely detrimental to his voyage.
And we went aboard and broke the oars and threw the sails into the water.
There were a pair of oars in the boat, which was a small one.
I discovered, too, that oars were lying in them, also a small mast and sails.
He dropped his oars and sprang to his feet, facing his enemies.
With a song upon their lips, the sailors bent to their oars.
We were approaching the two men on the oars, and I rang to stop and back her.
Old English ar "oar," from Proto-Germanic *airo (cf. Old Norse ar, Danish aare, Swedish åra), of unknown origin; perhaps related to Latin remus "oar," Greek eretes "rower," eretmos "oar."

When it comes to workplace injuries and deaths, there's really no such thing as an accident. Remember, if you think something at your workplace is unsafe, tell your employer. If you feel danger is around the corner, you must refuse to do it. If you're unsure, call 1‑866‑415‑8690 in Alberta. It's your life – so share the job of protecting it.
At the Lumberyard
At the Cafe
At the Deli
At the Store
At the Restaurant
At the Gas Station
Five Questions to Ask Your Boss!
Asking your boss five easy questions could save you a world of hurt at work:
- How can I be injured doing my job?
- What safety procedures do I need to follow?
- Who will give me safety training?
- Do I need any safety gear?
- What happens if I get hurt?
Prevent This
At the Store
That crazy fall could have been prevented by:
- Following appropriate and safe methods for using ladders.
- Choose the right footwear!
- Never step on the top two rungs.
- Make sure that the ladder's feet are secure on a firm, level surface.
- Check the ladder for any loose screws, hinges or rungs.
- Never over-reach or lean away from a ladder.
- Making sure all lighting is protected against damage.
- Having a system in place that allows solo workers to communicate with others in an emergency.
At the Deli
That embarrassingly bloody amputation could have been prevented by:
- Ensuring you keep all necessary guards and safety features in place at all time.
- Making sure the machine is working properly before you start.
- Being properly trained in the sage operation of equipment.
- Always paying close attention to the task at hand. Distractions can be deadly.
At the Restaurant
That disgustingly deep cut could have been prevented by:
- Having adequate training on how to do your job safely. In this case, the right way to handle a knife to prevent injury.
- Ensuring your work has full first aid supplies that are accessible at all times.
- Most importantly, learn where your first aid kit is.
At the Gas Station
Those brutal chemical burns could have been prevented by:
- Storing all hazardous and corrosive materials properly (i.e. in locked cabinets, away from public access).
- Substituting hazardous materials for less hazardous ones, where possible.
- Getting proper training on how to use harmful substances.
At the Cafe
All that nastiness could have been prevented by:
- Substituting hazardous materials for less hazardous ones, where possible.
- Storing all hazardous and combustible materials properly (i.e. away from sources of heat like deep fryers).
- Ensuring you are properly trained to handle hazardous materials.
At the Lumberyard
Those hideous broken bones could have been prevented by:
- Paying close attention to your surrounding at all times. That means protecting the health and safety of yourself and other workers.
- Asking for proper training in safely operating equipment and inspecting areas where other workers may walk.
- Ensuring all warning systems (i.e. back-up/reverse alarms) are working properly.
Real Stats
- On average, over 7000 young Albertans, aged 15-24, have to take time off work each year because of any injury.
- Over 35% of workplace injuries happen during the first six month on the job.
- Young guys are more likely to be injured on the job, and the #1 workplace injury is sprains or strains caused by lifting objects.
Real Stories
Rob's Story
Rob was happy to land a summer job working with a local homebuilder, installing flooring. One afternoon, Rob was working in a new house with a coworker. As he worked, Rob backed up a couple of steps and fell through the floor joists down into the basement. The fall resulted in a badly broken leg and left Rob on his back screaming in pain. After a plate and several pins were installed just below his knee, Rob continues to hope for full movement. More than a year later he's still waiting. No-one ever told Rob that openings in the floor should be barricaded to prevent falls.
Nicole's Story
Nicole was working part time at a small fast-food restaurant in her town. The restaurant was always busy with many orders being filled at one time. Over a dinner rush one night, Nicole was dumping some fries into the deep dryer when a large bunch of fries fee into the hot oil, splashing Nicole. The scorching oil covered her left arm and other parts of her body, leaving her with third-degree burns. After 14 months of painful skin grafts, Nicole is left with a major scar that will never go away.
Cindy's Story
Cindy's older brother Scott was working for an electrical contractor, rewiring as assembly line machine. The electrical connections were supposed to be "locked out", which meant that they shouldn't have been power. Unfortunately, they were. As soon as Scott touched the connecting screws he was electrocuted and died almost instantly. During the investigation it was revealed that Scott never received any safety training, even though it was his right as an employee.
Timothy's Story
Tim was just a 19 year-old high school grad when he was asked by his boss to help put up a large event tent. Tim was raising a 28-foot (8.53 m) pole from inside the tent when it struck a 14,400-volt power line, only 27 feet (8.23 m) off the ground. Tim never saw the power line and was electrocuted, killing him instantly. Even though the law requires employees to keep workers 10 feet (3.05 m) away from live power lines, Tim was asked to do something dangerously. The company was fined $100,000 for failing to protect its workers, but didn't give Tim his life back.

Ted Cushman is right on when he notes that the corrosion of metal hardware in contact with treated wood can be worse in the field than what lab results show ("Fasteners for Treated Wood," Soundings, January/February 2008). Within months of building my first coastal deck after CCA was phased out, there was red rust on the G-185 hangers and hot-dipped nails and bolts I used. That's when I began using isolation membranes.
While Grace does make a butyl-based peel-and-stick, Vycor Deck Protector is an asphalt-based material, not butyl-based, as we reported in the last issue.
I've used Grace Vycor Deck Protector and other similar peel-and-stick membranes as isolation membranes, and all are asphalt-based (not butyl as noted in the article).
The working temperature range for asphaltic membranes is pretty good but not as wide as butyl adhesives used in window flashing tapes. I find membrane adhesion is weak below 40°F, especially on damp treated lumber. Still, even with isolation membranes, G-185 galvanized hardware, and other proprietary coatings, I'm becoming more of a fan of stainless steel hardware for exterior connections in coastal areas regardless of how aggressive or inert the lumber treatments are. Galvanized coatings — no matter how thick — are still going to give way to the steel beneath. It's only a matter of time before rust sets in, be it two years, five years, or 20 years.
Stainless steel hardware is not very costly when you look at other expenses on a job. And I've found that the labor cost saved by not applying isolation membranes and trimming off the excess when "upgrading" to stainless almost covers the extra cost.

Around here, Deva is a love/hate line. Many of us start out with it, think we like it and then move on to other things that we like A LOT more.
The best way to choose ingredients/products is by hair properties. Here's a link to help you with yours
Live Curly Live Free - Curly Hair Basics
Once you discover your properties, look for people with hair like yours and see what they use. It's the best place to start.
My hair prefers the more natural products from the online, boutique type companies. I use a lot of rich products; however, my hair finds the SM products really heavy, if you understand the difference.
In general, you'll find that you use a lot less of the "better" products, which tends to make them more cost effective then one might think.

Feed to tractor storage
Brother-in-law wants me to help him figure out what wiring to run to his new tractor storage. Right now he has a 200 amp feed and panel to his workshop and he wants to run power to tractor storage for a few plug-ins, lights and probably a 50 amp circut for a 220volt welder to do repairs. The new storage will be 145 feet away from existing panel and he wants to run underground in conduit.
Sorry hit the wrong key.
What cable do we need to run and what amp breaker do we need to use for a feed? Know will be running 4 wires but need to know size and feed breaker amperage recommended.
he'll need a subpanel. sounds like a 100A one, should be good with a number three feeder assuming draw with welder running will be around 70a.
Thanks, planned on adding a subpanel in new tractor storage. Was needing to know what size breaker to put in workshop panel to feed the subpanel and what size wire (and type ) to run to the new shop.
3 #3's CU, 1 #8 CU (ground)
2 Pole 90A breaker
2 ground rods (Bond to water also, if present)
Remove neutral/ground bonding jumper in panel
Thank you very much !!!!!!!! Extremely helpful!! The 2 ground rods go where? Both at new storage connected to ground at the panel?
Thanks again!!!!!:thumbup::thumbup:
Can cu 3-3-3-5 Ser be used underground in conduit?
SER cannot be used underground.
[quote=Russell;994312]The 2 ground rods go where? Both at new storage connected to ground at the panel?
Drive 2 ground rods at/near the subpanel at the tractor storage building (you can get away with 1 if resitance is 25 ohms or less but most people just drive 2). rods must be at least 6 feet apart
Use #6 copper (or larger) wire to connect the rods to the panel. you can use #8 but it has to be protected above ground (easier to use #6 in my opinion) Connect the wire to the ground bus of the subpanel (as mentioned, the neutral needs to be isolated from ground. the #8 ground wire going back to the workshop also gets connected to this bus). wire can be solid or stranded and is usually bare.
Rods must be at least 8 feet long and 5/8 in diameter (listed rods can be 1/2). Connect the copper wire with ground rod clamps approved for direct burial. Wire must be continuous from panel to first rod. Its easier and better (in my opinion) if the wire is continuous to both rods.
I use a sledgehammer to drive my many rods but pros often use a rotary hammer.
Thanks to all for the great answers!!!!
Have a great day:thumbup::thumbup:

Hey guys,
I have a '06 WRX TR, and I'm trying to put in a really nice sound system. I'm not too concerned about it being ridiculously loud, but I'm a sucker for high SQ. To that end, I went out and bought a JL 10w6 sub and 500v1 amp for the trunk. I want to keep a good bit of my trunk space, so I'm planning on putting it in a fiberglass box to one side. Should be neat enough, keep the trunk looked nice, etc.
The issue I'm wrestling with right now is where to put the amp. I want it up and out of the way, but I also don't want to block the pass-through to the cabin (I use it a lot). I don't want to build (or have built) a giant amp box or something - I don't need to show this car off to anybody. Have any of you done this sort of basic install with a bigger amp like the 500v1? Where did you put it? Do you have pictures you could show me?
I'd also like to do this myself (feeling kind of cheap right now), so any advice on how to attach the amp and things to watch out for would be appreciated. I already have a tube and an amp back there, so I've run the wires and am familiar with the electronics, but I'm still more or less a n00b at all of the mechanical bits.

Stepping out to promote her new flick "Grown Ups 2," Maya Rudolph showed up at the " Ellen DeGeneres Show" with cast mates Adam Sandler, Kevin James,
Sony Pictures Studios is the place to be tonight (April 14) for the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, and Adam Sandler showed up with Chris Rock earlier this evening ready to have a good time.
Adding a subsequent chapter to the story, "Grown Ups 2" picks up where the original hilarious flick left off.
Sony Pictures just dropped a fabulous teaser trailer and if it's any indication, the sequel will likely live up to the $160 million expectations set by 2010's "Grown Ups."
Adding some fuel to the pre-release buzz, the cast of "This is 40" is featured on the cover of Vanity Fair's January 2013 issue.
Paul Rudd, Megan Fox, Leslie Mann, and Melissa McCarthy are all hilarious in their various poses, gearing up for the December 21st theatrical launch.
Using his brilliant comedic timing to rock the vote, Chris Rock created a "special message" to help persuade undecided white voters to reelect President Barack Obama.
On Friday's (November 2) episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," the former "Saturday Night Live" member declared, "In times like these, you need a white President who you can trust, and that white President's name… is Barack Obama."
Monday Night Football was extra crazy last night (September 24) as a group of replacement referees definitely screwed the pooch during the Seattle Seahawks vs Green Bay Packers game.
An erroneous call made by the substitute refs ended up giving Seattle the win when Green Bay should have in fact clinched the victory.
Out supporting their wife and mother, respectively, Will and Willow joined Jada Pinkett Smith at the premiere of her new movie "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" in New York City on Thursday evening (June 7).
Fulfilling their festive overseas promotional duties, the stars of "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" took over the spotlight at the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival in southern France on Friday (May 18).

Accreditation assessment team invites public commentKANSAS CITY, MO. - A team of assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA), will arrive April 17, 2010, to examine all aspects of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Police Department's (UMKC PD) Policies and Procedures, Management, Operations and Support Services, Chief Michael Bongartz announced today.
"Verification by the team that the UMKC Police Department meets the Commission's state-of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation - a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence," Bongartz said.
As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session at 10:00 a.m., Monday, April 19, 2010, in Room 106, University Center, on the UMKC Volker Campus, located at 5000 Holmes in Kansas City, Mo.
If for some reason an individual cannot speak at the public information session but would like to provide comments to the assessment team, he or she may do so by telephone. The public may call (816) 235-1517 between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 18, 2010.
Telephone comments, as well as appearances at the public information session, are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency's ability to comply with CALEA's standards. A copy of the standards is available at the UMKC Police Department, 4825 Troost, Kansas City, Mo. For more information, contact Captain Joseph Rucinski at (816) 235-1518.
Persons wishing to offer written comments about the UMKC Police Department's ability to meet the standards for accreditation are requested to write to: Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA), 10302 Eaton Place, Suite 100, Fairfax, Va. 22030-2215.
The CALEA Program Manager for the University Police Department is Stephen Mitchell, who indicated that the assessment team is composed of public safety practitioners from similar, but out-of-state agencies. The assessors will review written materials, interview individuals and visit offices and other locations where compliance can be witnessed.
The assessors are Chief Carel Duplessis, Oakland, Calif. Housing Authority Police Department, and Ms. Denise Linkenhoker, Virginia Tech Police Department.
"Once the CALEA Assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full Commission, which will then decide if the agency is to be granted re-accredited status," said Mitchell.
Accreditation is for three years, during which the agency must submit annual reports attesting continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited.
For more information regarding the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., please write the Commission at 10302 Eaton Place Suite 100, Fairfax, Va., 22030-2215; or call (800) 368-3757 or (703) 352-4225 or email email@example.com.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), one of four University of Missouri campuses, is a public university serving more than 14,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. UMKC engages with the community and economy based on a four-part mission: life and health sciences; visual and performing arts; urban issues and education; and a vibrant learning and campus life experience.

"Security is not a product, but a process." That should be the mantra of every security engineer today, according to Bruce Schneier, a cryptographer, computer security and privacy specialist, and writer.
"It's more than designing strong cryptography into a system," he said in an online post. "It's designing the entire system such that all security measures work together."
With data breach incidents reaching new heights every year, this 'process' of information security needs to be an integral part of running a business. Of course, as a key component of privacy legislation and compliance standards, protecting private information is also the law.
So what should it look like in the workplace?
It should be a combination of security products and tools, technologies, policies and procedures that work together to safeguard the availability, integrity and privacy of all personally identifiable information.
While there are many different kinds of data breach incidents, the ones that get the most attention involve cyber espionage. A recent example is the sizable Target breach where approximately 40 million holiday shoppers had their credit and debit card account information stolen by computer hackers.
But mishandled paper documents still cause a lot of data breaches too. For example, in a recent report on privacy breaches, Stephen Warren of Veterans Affairs said that between 96 and 98% of data breach incidents at the Veterans Affairs Department involve paper documents. "People are not thinking about the fact that that piece of paper they're carrying around making benefits determinations has sensitive information, and they need to protect it."
Interestingly, over half of U.S. businesses believe a security breach would not seriously impact their business. But it would. Research has shown it not only damages reputation and client relationships but it costs about $145 per lost or stolen record, according to the Ponemon 2014 Cost of a Data Breach.
The Shred-it State of the Industry Report showed that the average organization loses five percent of its revenue to fraud every year.
While all workplaces need information security policies and procedures, here are some of the hot spots to keep in mind:

According to Apple Insider, the event will kick off at 1 p.m. Eastern at the Flint Center for the Performing Arts in Cupertino. Besides raising Apple fans' collective heart rate, the media event confirmation also apparently boosted the iPhone maker's share price to a record $102.78 intraday trading high.
So what can Apple fans expect at the company's highly anticipated media event? Apple, a firm that has mastered the art of building consumer excitement by withholding information, offered no clue about what products might be unveiled on September 9. However, based on the company's well-established product refresh cycle — not to mention the countless rumors and supply chain leaks — it can be safely assumed that Apple will introduce its latest iPhone model at the upcoming event.
However, unlike in previous years, Apple is rumored to be unveiling two completely new iPhone models at the same time this year. It should be pointed out that although Apple simultaneously released the iPhone 5C and the iPhone 5S last year, the iPhone 5C was not widely considered a new product, since it was essentially an iPhone 5 with a new chassis. Throw the long-rumored "iWatch" into the mix this year and you may have the ingredients for what could be Apple's most anticipated product launch event in its history. Although September 9 is just around the corner, rumors about the products that Apple will unveil at the event are still coming in. Keeping that in mind, here's the latest information about what to expect at Apple's September 9 media event.

The Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles, in a Feb. 14 statement, suspended the state's recently enacted International Driving Permit requirement pending further study. International visitors who plan to drive in Florida now need only a valid driver's license issued from their own country.
The International Drivers Licenses are available from such organizations at the CAA.
Here is the full statement from DHSMV:
During the 2012 legislative session, the Florida Legislature amended section 322.04, Florida Statutes, to require visitors from outside the United States to have an International Driving Permit in order to drive lawfully in Florida. This change took effect Jan. 1, 2013.
It has come to the Department's attention that this requirement may violate the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949), an international treaty to which the United States is a signatory. Treaties to which the United States is a party preempt state laws in conflict with them.
Therefore, the Florida Highway Patrol will defer enforcement of violations of the amended statutory section until a final determination of the alignment of the amendment with the treaty can be made. Non-resident visitors to Florida who wish to drive while here will be required to have in their immediate possession a valid driver license issued in his or her name from another state or territory of the U.S. or from their country of residence. However, the FHP will not take enforcement action based solely on the lack of an International Driving Permit.

AVONDALE, AZ - NOVEMBER 13: Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the #88 National Guard/AMP Energy Chevrolet, stands on pit road during qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix International Raceway on November 13, 2009 in Avondale, AZ. (Photo by Todd Warshaw/Getty Images for NASCAR)
For this weekend's race, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will use the canvas of his No. 88 Chevrolet Impala to debut the 2013 National Guard paint scheme. Earnhardt helped design the blue-and-white look that will adorn the soon-to-be unveiled 2013 Chevrolet SS. The new Chevrolet model will be revealed on Nov. 29 during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion's Week in Las Vegas. ONE TO GO: With one race remaining in the Sprint Cup season, the driver of the No. 88 National Guard/Diet Mountain Dew Chevrolet ranks 12th in the standings on the strength of one win, one pole position, 10 top-five finishes and 19 top-10s. AT HOMESTEAD: In 12 Sprint Cup starts at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Earnhardt has led 93 laps and recorded three top-15 finishes and five top-20s. He scored his best finish — 11th — at Homestead in the 2011 season finale. CHASSIS CHOICE: This weekend, crew chief Steve Letarte and the No. 88 team will unload Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 88-716. Regan Smith most recently raced this chassis to a seventh-place finish at the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway in October. Earnhardt previously raced this chassis to a fourth-place finish at Michigan International Speedway in August. INTERMEDIATE TRACK STATS: In 225 Cup starts on intermediate (one- to two-mile) tracks, Earnhardt has recorded six wins, six pole positions, 43 top-five finishes and 87 top-10s. On 1.5-mile tracks, such as Homestead, he ranks seventh among active, full-time drivers in top 10s (41) and eighth in the laps led category (1,299 laps). HENDRICK AT HOMESTEAD: Hendrick Motorsports has three runner-up results at Homestead-Miami Speedway and still is looking for its first victory at the 1.5-mile oval, which was added to the Cup schedule in 1999. Hendrick Motorsports has yet to win at just two tracks on the Cup schedule – Homestead and Kentucky Speedway. In 13 races (51 starts) at Homestead, Hendrick has two pole positions, 11 top-five finishes and 20 top-10s. Jeff Gordon leads drivers all-time there with six top-five finishes and 10 top-10s. Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson are among the drivers tied for first all-time with two poles at Homestead. CHASE AT A GLANCE: Since going to a four-car team in 2002, Hendrick Motorsports has had two or more drivers finish the season ranked inside the top five in the championship standings five times. Gordon and Johnson accomplished this feat three years in a row (2002-2004), and Kyle Busch joined that championship mix in 2007, giving the organization three top-five finishers. In 2009, Hendrick Motorsports became the only team in NASCAR history to finish 1-2-3 in the points. This season, all four Hendrick drivers qualified for the postseason for the first time in team history. DALE EARNHARDT JR., DRIVER, NO. 88 NATIONAL GUARD/DIET MOUNTAIN DEW CHEVROLET (ON HOMESTEAD-MIAMI SPEEDWAY.): "Homestead has turned into a really good racetrack. We are able to move all over the track and look for speed in different places. The cars seem to respond to that. The track is very unique even though it looks quite simple. It is really a challenge. Both corners are very different from each other and require the cars to handle differently in each corner. And then you have other things like the wind. But it is a fun place to race."

Tue. October 4, 2011 | Eduardo A. Encina
Former Strawberry Crest football player Daniel Wisnesky was killed early Tuesday morning in a motorcycle accident in Mango.
A 5-foot-10, 170-pound linebacker, Wisnesky was the third-leading tackler (6.8 a game) on the Chargers' first full-varsity team last year.
He was 18.
Wisnesky was riding his motorcycle east on State Road 574 west of the Interstate 75 entrance ramp when he ran a red light and collided with a Ford Explorer traveling west and making a left turn at the intersection, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Strawberry Crest (0-5) is off this week before facing Armwood next week in a Class 6A-8 district game. First-year Chargers coach Gerold Dickens gave his team the day off from practice Tuesday, and grief counselors were at the school to help students.
"A lot of the kids needed the time to grieve," Dickens said. "Holding their attention on a day like this would be tough. The kids were upset. It was a very tough day and a very tearful day.
"I didn't have a chance to coach (Wisnesky), but he definitely had a big impact here," Dickens added.

Never mind Brown, Cameron and Clegg. It's the Dorothy wannabes who need your votes now.
As the Over the Rainbow starlets prepare for tonight's showdown, we took some exclusive snaps behind the scenes to find out what they really get up to when the cameras stop rolling.
Who tries to stay healthy despite wolfing her lunch? Which hopefuls are planning to move in together? And who is known for wearing, ahem, naughty shorts? The girls tell all...
Over The Rainbow is on BBC1 tonight at 8.45pm and tomorrow at 7.15pm.
Jenny Hiding in the clothes, peekaboo! The costumes are amazing.
The styling team do a brilliant job - it's like playing 'dress-up'.
Danielle Friends for life. It's amazing how we have all really bonded over the weeks - we're already talking about getting a house in London together.
Jessica Modelling one of my many pairs of 'naughty shorts' (I call them that because you'd see my bum if I wasn't wearing leggings).
Beginning to show signs of insanity as the day draws to a close.
Lauren A beautiful portrayal of sheer exhaustion setting in.
Danielle Five minutes to eat... GO! We get time to grab some tasty food from the studio canteen. I always try to eat something quite healthy, but I'm usually starving by the time we get to lunch!
Sophie Let's get miked up! This is one of the sound men. He gets us sorted with our microphones safely clipped on our costumes each week.
Jessica Steaming away my poorly throat. I started to feel a bit croaky last week, so I've been drinking lots of honey and lemon tea. Andrew Lloyd Webber talked us through how to look after our voices, and vocal coach Claire Moore makes sure we save our voices, so that we can belt it out for the live show.
Lauren Eek, I look like a waxwork! This is Alex starting the lengthy process of making me look half decent. I find it quite relaxing in make up. I can run through the song words in my head, and chill a bit.
It's also a good place to catch up on the gossip.
Jenny I think my microphone got caught in my hair.
There's always a lot of hairspray around, so getting a mic caught is no laughing matter.
Steph Nice pose! Not sure what I'm doing here... This is at the Dorothy house. Fortunately you can't see the messy bits from this angle.
Danielle Ventriloquism is a skill I have picked up through necessity during make up.
Jessica Try as I might I don't look so hot next to one of our lovely dashing dancers.

Banana Delight Dessert RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
My dessert can be styled to look like a glowing candle. Just stand the banana slice up in the middle of a pineapple or spiced apple ring. Then squirt whipped topping 'wax' down the sides and put a cherry 'flame' on top.—Agnes Bucko, Kunkletown, Pennsylvania
Recommended: Butterfinger Dessert Recipes
- 2 large ripe bananas, cut into quarters
- 4 slices pineapple, cut into halves
- 1/2 cup whipped topping
- 4 maraschino cherries
- Place two banana quarters and two pineapple halves on each of four plates. Top each with whipped topping and a cherry. Yield: 4 servings.

Wildcard weekend is in the books and the AFC divisional playoff bracket is set. After a week of resting and watching the other teams play, the number one seeded Denver Broncos will host the Pittsburgh Steelers at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday January 17th. These two teams faced each other in Week 15 of the regular season with the Steelers coming out on top 34-27. The Broncos defense is a bit healthier this time around and will have a different quarterback under center in Peyton Manning who has regained his starting job from Brock Osweiler after a foot injury. Pittsburgh is a bit banged up as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered a shoulder injury in the wildcard game and star receiver Antonio Brown is undergoing concussion protocol, however both are expected to hit the field. Playoff games are always intense and this matchup should be no different. On Saturday, January 16th the Kansas City Chiefs will head to Foxboro to take on the second seeded New England Patriots. The Chiefs are currently on a huge winning streak after 10 straight regular season victories and will look to play spoiler to the Patriots, who are used to advancing under head coach Bill Belichick. Kansas City has been playing tough but you can never count out New England, even with the various injuries that have plagued them late in the season.
AFC playoff tickets will be a hot commodity so be sure to grab yours early. You won't want to miss out on any of the exciting on-field action of these great post season matchups.

Finally solved my brake dilemma. PFC Z Rated and Brembo
So I've solved my brake dilemma by ordering this front and rear set up from ecstuning. Brembo rotors and PFC Z Rated pads with ATE Super blue fluid. The pads in the picture are not the ones I bought.
Good job. You chose quality parts and didn't waste money on slotted/drilled rotors that you don't need. :thumbsup:
I've actually went through a set of OEM pads on a pair of new OEM blanks, then once the OEM jurid pads were gone I put in a pair of pfc z-rated and I absolutely love how much grip and no fade I get when I sometimes need to race for work ;-)
These pads create a black, easier to wipe off dust which when compared to the rear OEM pads (still 50% life when I put on the z-rated in front) will dust 60% while the rears will dust 40%
So basically the dust on them is way down over OEM fronts and its a easier type to deal with when cleaning wheels.
Overall a great everyday pad that has really great features. They warm up within Prob. 5 min within the oem grip standards, before that 5min they aren't too bad very easy to just apply a small amount more pedal and be good with stopping without worrying.
After they're warm they are very crisp and easy to modulate it just adds on the the very amazing e46 engineering in pedal feel.
A++ pads! They're going on rear next
Sent from my DROIDX using Bimmer App
I don't like it as much as I did the OEM setup. I don't think it has as much grip as the OEM brakes did. I went though the break-in process after the zinc coating wore off the rotors, so I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem. I'm not really sure what is. But if I do the brakes again, I'm going OEM.

Picnicking and Pavilions
Picnicking is a tradition in Pennsylvania state parks. People have been taking their families, friends, food and lawn chairs to state parks for a picnic since the 19th century. Picnicking is a relaxing and fun way to spend a great day in the outdoors. There's nearly always a picnic table waiting for you in a state park, and if you have a large group or family reunion, you can even reserve a picnic pavilion or picnic grove.
Nearly every Pennsylvania state park has facilities for picnicking. These areas usually have picnic tables, nearby restrooms, drinking water and receptacles for recycling and the disposal of trash. Some areas also have charcoal grills and nearby play areas and play fields. If your picnicking plans include using a grill, we suggest that you bring one along just in case a grill is not available at the park. Many areas also provide facilities for the disposal of charcoal.
Picnic pavilions are a great home base for a get together or family gathering. They provide shelter from the sun and weather, charcoal grills and picnic tables. Some pavilions have electricity.
If you have a large group, rent a picnic grove, which has ten picnic tables, grills and lots of space. Additional tables are available for rent.

Rucci unveiled his creations for spring-summer 2004 in a lavish mansion in the French capital's 16th arrondissement - a district known for its well-heeled society ladies who would be perfectly comfortable in his clothes.
The New York-based designer, the only American invited to show haute couture in Paris, is not interested in flashy, in-your-face couture. He instead focuses on precise cuts, fabulous craftsmanship and the purity of form to catch the eye of the discerning fashion observer.
And Rucci succeeded, earning a rousing round of applause at show's end for his impeccable suits - made from luxurious cashmere and silk - stitched to perfection, in muted hues of white, vanilla, taupe and black.
His technique is irreproachable, with skirt and jacket panels loosely pieced together to create swirling cut-out patterns. A white perforated cashmere coat was simply divine, perfect for a day of serious shopping on Madison Avenue or the avenue Montaigne in Paris.
Rucci provided a study in textures, using wood beads to form a sleeveless shell or tiny tortoise shell squares for a trench coat. Strands of pearls worked into a blouse contrasted nicely with a plain full black gazaar skirt.
The US designer also likes to create distinct silhouettes, offering a white duchesse satin suit with a full swing jacket imaginatively lined with sprigs of lily of the valley for a romantic spring feel.
For evening, gowns in chartreuse chiffon or black jersey draped elegantly to the floor. A structured white silk high-waisted floor-length dress with a delicate feather collar popped off the runway.
While Rucci is all subdued grace, Saab is more interested in a good dash of glittering allure, envisioning next summer in a flurry of slinky printed chiffon gowns encrusted with gold embroidery and sparkling crystals.
The Lebanese designer shot to global stardom when Halle Berry accepted her Best Actress Oscar in 2002 in one of his creations - a burgundy ball skirt with a sheer bodice embroidered with flowers.
Hollywood's leading ladies would have no trouble finding something for the red carpet in Saab's latest collection, from a skimpy silver mini-dress with a plunging bejewelled neckline to a gold siren gown covered with shiny spangles.
A flowing yellow dress with a lace bodice and large red and green polka dots stood out from the multiple gowns in floral prints in shades of lilac, pale green, pink and wine, all of them embellished with metallic thread.
Gold spike heels or thigh-high boots were the glitzy accessories of choice.
The wife of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, Nazek - a regular at this week's couture shows - stood up to applaud Saab at show's end, a gesture he acknowledged by blowing her a kiss.
Thursday marked the end of haute couture week in the French capital, but menswear designers were set to take centre stage from Friday, with their collections for autumn-winter 2004-05.
