Hulu Set For Xbox One Launch
Los Angeles-based television streaming site Hulu is set for the launch tomorrow of Microsoft's new Xbox One, saying that its video app--Hulu Plus--will be available as part of the Friday launch of the Xbox One. Hulu said its development team has been working with Microsoft on the app for Xbox One, which will include tray navigation, larger images, updated search, and other features. Hulu has been making its Hulu Plus app available across a wide range of platforms, most recently for the updated PlayStation 4, which launched last week. A number of local companies have been gearing up to launch with the Xbox One; just yesterday, Activision also said it will launch its latest title, Call of Duty: Ghosts, in conjunction with Microsoft's newest gaming console.

You can replace the whole control arm with bushing already installed for about $125 each, or you can get real thrifty on some cars and replace the $20 bushings themselves using a hydraulic press. This is a problem on everything from a base Honda to a $150K mercedes. Bushings need replaced about every 100K mi on average. The front suspension bushings in my BMW need replaced about every 60K mi and the rear goes bad every 100K or so. Throwing new tires on the car every 20K mi to get chewed up is just plain nuts. This costs FAR more than a proper repair. Cars with bad bushings handle verey bad plus they shake and make a lot of noise when hitting bumps.
Replace the control arms on your daughters car instead of buying $400 worth of tires every 6 mo.

What does the Bible say about sex? Less than you probably think
I wouldn't deny for a moment that the Bible says some messed-up things about sex, including that men who have sex with men should be killed, and that if you even look at a woman the wrong way, it's as bad as committing adultery. But I think many people would be surprised by what the [Read More…]

Memo to Rick Warren: humans are animals
So, Rick Warren recently tweeted that "When students are taught they are no different from animals, they act like it." This was interpreted as a comment on last week's shootings in Colorado, but Warren later claimed he was referring to something else. But honestly, it's a stupid comment either way. [Read more…]

Course Reviews
Fun to play on a ball golf course with the greens OB. The starter guys are pretty darn OK here - and the burgers as good as the the smell that permeates the patio. The terrain is well suited (albeit kind of open...) to disc golf - hillsides and executive/par 3 length.
Second coarse i've ever played. I love every hole and esspecially how clean it is here. The front store is great with a large selection of discs to buy. Great for begginers. Hole 7 is tucked away for a trick shot, holes 8 and 17 are great downhill longshots, and holes 12 threw 16 are switch backs. Every tee and hole were easy to find with signs for each one. The have lights so you can play at night. I love this coarse and I will definetley be back. This coarse gets a 5.
This is a tight course so keep an eye out for ball golfers. The course is short, tight and crosses back on itself. The holes are fun and challenging. Hole 7 is nicely tucked into a hiding place.
Just started playing.This course is great to learn on. Grass, few obstacles, and it's lit up at night. Fee is 5 for 18 baskets, more to play all day and night. One of a few courses you can tell where the next tee will be.

Dual DC Input Wireless Transmitter sensoRAD DR9011-01
Dual DC Input Wireless Transmitter
The DR9011 is an RF transmitter that will accept both analog and switch contact inputs. A 12 bit A/D converter is used to digitize the analog data. Analog data and switch status is then transmitted to the companion DR9021 Receiver where the analog signals are reconstructed as 4/20mA outputs and switch status is reconstructed as optically isolated NPN transistor outputs.
The switch inputs require a standard contact closure or an open collector NPN transistor.
Two different RF modules, which operate on different frequencies, are available for the 900 MHz band. Each has 7 hop sequences. With this choice, a total of 14 hop sequences are available.
The radio transmitter outputs 100mW (20 dBm) in the 902 to 928 MHz unlicensed ISM band. It uses frequency hopping, spread spectrum technology to allow multiple transmitters to work in the same locale without interference. A DIP Switch on the PC board is used to set the hopping sequence.
With proper antenna and cable selection, the DR9011 can transmit up to 20 miles line of sight.
The DR9011 provides isolation between analog inputs, output, and power source. The isolation makes the product useful for measuring input signals with high common mode voltages and for breaking ground connections to eliminate ground loops.
Switch inputs pull a DC current through the LED of optoisolators. The excitation current is taken from the DC power source. The power source is isolated from the overall circuit by a transformer coupled power supply.
Screw terminal blocks that plug into the case allow easy wiring and removal of products.
All of the DR Series of products provide transient protection to help eliminate damage from lightning and from other transients created on the power and signal leads.
NOTE: This unit must be used with a DR9021 wireless receiver.

Ushahidi: Frameworks for Effective Platform Management is a four-week, online course from TechChange, running this summer from June 4th – 29th.
What has us most excited about this course is our approach toward one the highest-profile and most utilized programs in the current generation of ICT4D tools. Working closely with Patrick Meier, Ushahidi's Director of Crisis Mapping and Strategic Partnerships, and Heather Leson, Director of Community Engagement, we've developed a syllabus that focuses both on building confidence in using the Ushahidi platform as well as putting equal attention on essential logistical issues like building trust networks, bolstering security and privacy, and generating effective, actionable data.
Fee: $395

California high school students gathered in Shingletown for the Sierra Cascade Logging Conference In Woods Day, a companion event to GIS/GPS Map It Day, both sponsored by Sierra Pacific Industries, a timber company. The idea was to make students aware of carreers in forestry and geospatial technologies. The geo focused event included data collection and mapping.
According to [Anderson High teacher Carol] Perea, students who attended the mapping day went to Shasta College the following day and created maps based off the coordinates they had gathered using a software program called ARC.
Because ARC is similar to Adobe's Photoshop program, students with a background in Photoshop picked up ARC quickly and now have a usable life skill, said Perea.
I'm not sure if the reference is to ArcGIS or something else, but a "useable life skill" in one day is a good return on investment!
The GeoTech Center has announced the finalists for this year's Skill Competition. They will present their projects at the Esri Ed UC Sunday July 22.
The top six finalists (listed alphabetically by first name) are:
- Amy Atz from Gainesville State College
- Bill Vosti from San Diego Mesa Community College
- Cassie Tamblyn from Gainesville State College
- Joshua Nolan from Gainesville State College
- Laurance Armour from Central New Mexico Community College
- Theresa Stinchfield from American River College

PHOENIX, Ariz. – The Nevada softball took advantage of wild Southern Utah pitching and used timely hitting to beat the Thunderbirds 6-4 at the Grand Canyon Tournament on Friday.
The Wolf Pack fell to the host school Grand Canyon in game two as the Antelopes scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to top Nevada 7-6. Nevada saw its record move to 9-3 overall.
Nevada will take on the same two teams tomorrow in a doubleheader beginning at 11:30 a.m. Pacific time.
Nevada got a strong effort in the circle from Karlyn Jones (2-2) to get the game-one win against Southern Utah. She went five and two-third, giving up five hits and two runs with only one earned. She struck out five and didn't walk a batter.
Jones gave way in the sixth to McKenna Isenberg, who worked out of trouble in the sixth and seventh for her first career save.
Nevada scored its six runs with just three hits and Ashley Butera delivered the big blow with a two-run blast in the first, her second of the year. The Wolf Pack capitalized on wild Thunderbird pitching as SUU issued 10 walks and hit three batters and Nevada missed out on a couple of chances to blow the game wide open, leaving 11 runners on base.
In game two, the Wolf Pack never trailed until the game's final play. Nevada scored in the first on a Caylin Campbell single and got another in the second on the first career home run by Molly McWilliams.
But Grand Canyon came back and tied it in the third, chasing starter Megan Dortch from the game in the process. In the fourth, Nikki Orozco ripped an RBI single and Megan Sweet and Butera smacked back-to-back RBI doubles to put Nevada back in front 5-2.
The Lopes answered again in the bottom of the inning, scoring three times to tie it before Isenberg came on in relief of Ariel Craig to get Nevada out without any further damage done.
The Wolf Pack took the lead in the fifth on the first homer of the year by Sara Parson, a solo shot that made it 6-5.
Isenberg worked effectively into the seventh until Grand Canyon lead off with a bloop single. A sacrifice bunt then hurt the Pack as Jasmine Jenkins' throwing error gave the Lopes runners on second and third and nobody out instead of a runner on second an one out.
Isenberg got back-to-back strikeouts before a single to left and a single to center gave Grand Canyon the game-winning runs.

Important to read trip notes - some days are very long travelling with few toilet / food stops. Take snacks at all times, might be a while before you get fed. The fitter you are the more you will enjoy this trip. Have suitcase on wheels and small backpack.
Review submitted 23 Jun 2017
As I have not been on your website yet, I cannot comment. However I would certainly suggest going to Peru, but be wary of altitude and a different style of food. The Country is so different and the history is one where you will go home and more study on it to better understand Peru and South America.

Paducah is truly blessed.
We are perfectly placed in the country, located hours away from thriving metropolitan areas like Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis and Louisville. Flowing along our banks are the Tennessee and the Ohio rivers. Rich river trade has been a mainstay here.
But what makes Paducah so special is the atmosphere surrounding the people who live here, that prevails every single day. This atmosphere is one that honors God and is evident in the lives of people He has placed in our community. It is an atmosphere of peace and the desire to reason together for the comfort and security of all its citizens.
The Rev. W.G. Harvey, though not a native son, wasted no time drawing together concerned citizens and interacting with the people in leadership positions to reason together with them. This work saved Paducah from so much of the violence and strife that was prevalent in the early '60s in other places just a breath away from us. He helped Paducah navigate through a time when other cities were being torn apart by violence and fear of the unknown.
This was a time in our country's history when hateful signs and hateful laws were being addressed by those who lived with labels. These labels told nothing of the state of our hearts. The character of this city was going to be defined during these years, and Pastor Harvey was driven to work for peace and understanding through conversations and intelligent actions.
He was joined by others in our city who understood how debilitating the labels "colored only" and "white only" were to our city. These labels had no place in the future of Paducah. Men and women of this city responded in honor to the spirit of God.
I was moved here by my father and mother in 1972, from Newbern, Tennessee. Not long after arriving, at the age of 12, Pastor Harvey baptized me. He helped me take the first steps necessary for a boy to become a God-fearing man. From his work in this city, I was given a safe haven in which to grow and thrive.
In 2000, I was elected to the Paducah Board of Commissioners. I was always cognizant of the path that Pastor Harvey had blazed, and I never had to deal with the barriers that so many Americans of African descent had to overcome. I saw the shadows of many men and women before me who had trod that path.
My journey to the Paducah City Commission was about the issues and not the color of my skin. I will ever be grateful to him for that. He was one of the leaders in the movement of human dignity that made me absolutely sure I could reach any goal I set for myself. I was completely positive that Paducah, Kentucky, was where I wanted to raise my children. My entire family has been strengthened by the atmosphere he cultivated.
Paducah is truly blessed, blessed by the people living here and their loyalty to the guidelines of our Creator. Pastor Harvey, I will truly miss your presence.
Vistation for Rev. Harvey will be from 3 to 7 p.m. today at New Greater Love Missionary Baptist Church, followed by the funeral at 7 p.m.

For part of the year, the owners, Tara and Jessica Getty, rent the house out as a vacation property.\nThe main sitting room.\n"We relied on texture rather than color," Browne says of the interiors.\\n\\nAs elsewhere in the house, the main sitting room combines sophistication with the rustic, thatch-roofed bush style.\nA wall of reclaimed sandstone creates an intimate space for the dining room.\nSunlight streams into one of the guest rooms. The bed is located close to the sliding doors and the deck beyond. When lying there, "you're as open to the view as possible," says Plewman.\nBlack-and-white family photos dominate a wall of the master suite.\nThe Gettys are investors in the ecotourism company Conservation Corporation Africa and know the 54,400-acre reserve well. "We wanted our house to blend in," says Jessica Getty, "but keep that wonderful elevation and view of the plain."\\n\\nAn outdoor shower has both vistas and privacy.\nThe pool area offers a panorama of the bush.\nRecent reintroduction efforts have increased the wildlife population of the game reserve. Visitors to Phinda Getty House can go on twice-daily game drives to spot a wide variety of animals, including rhinos, giraffes, leopards, elephants (left) and cheetahs (right).

Fitch and Penn go toe-to-toe, neither man emerges victorious
For the second time in as many months, a UFC main event ended with no winner and lots of discussion.
Perennial 170-pound title contender Jon Fitch and former two-division champion BJ Penn went at each other for 15-minutes—and both came up on the short end of the stick. Like Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard on New Year's Day, the bout ended in a majority draw . . . Click here for more

Calling all zine artists, we want to buy your zines! Zine-o-Matic is a zine subscription box company and we're looking for awesome zines to include in our monthly shipments. Every month Zine-o-Matic picks 3-5 rad people as that month's featured artists. We buy up great zines from up and coming artists and send it out to our subscribers on the first of every month. Zines are selected based on their construction quality, wideness of appeal, cost, and general awesomeness. Zine-o-Matic can bring your work to a nationwide audience of super rad people. If you're interested in sending us some samples of your zines or other paper-based art, shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com for details. Feel free to share this post with friends that might be interested and don't forget to check us out at www.zineomatic.com
Last year I started requesting submissions for a postcard zine. I didn't get enough submissions for an entire zine and I was trying to figure out what to do next. I decided to extend the deadline AND send out personal invitations to submit. If you're a writer/artist that I enjoy, one of those postcards might be on it's way to you!
The idea is pretty simple. Each postcard is a submission. Both sides will be reproduced so drawings, stories, collages, rants, copier art, poetry, paintings or whatever can be reproduced in a black and white zine are acceptable.
So here are the criteria. You have to send a postcard - 3.5x5″, 4x6″, or 5x7″ preferred. I really like art on one side and a story on the other, but put whatever you want on there. Both sides are yours to do with as you please, so technically you could lay out 2 zine pages if that's what you really wanted to do. The main criterion is that your submission must be mailed as a postcard, not in an envelope. All submissions will be printed (with the exception of anything hateful: racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc.) Deadline is May 1st.
All contributors will receive a copy of the finished zine. (Include a return mailing or email address. If you don't want it published, circle it or box it in and I'll black it out before scanning it)
Send submissions to:
Resist Zine
PO Box 582345

Seeking Submissions for new ANONYMOUS perzine. We want words, quotes, conversations, communications, screenshots, mail-art, stories, confessions, secrets, art, photography, NSFW, etc. related to the theme of 'Forbidden Fruit. Zine will be printed as a 5.5x8.5 inch half zine in black and white format.

Hi guys,
There was some feedback during my SIGGRAPH presentation that there's not much character animation stuff to tinker with in C4D, so I said I'd have a rigged head available once the livestreams are archived.
Well, the vids from MAXON's booth last SIGGRAPH are now up.
My presentation and download link for the rig are on:
(no need to register to download the file)
I also made a quickstart guide of sorts for the rig here:
Feel free to take the rig apart. Just keep in mind that this rig was designed for generalists, so a bit of efficiency is sacrificed to gain accessibility and modularity.

SYDNEY – Australian police have seized crystal methamphetamine worth more than $1 billion Australian dollars ($712 million), some of it concealed in gel bra inserts, authorities said Monday. It was one of the country's biggest drug busts.
Three people from Hong Kong and a Chinese national were arrested during the operation which Justice Minister Michael Keenan described as the largest seizure of liquid methamphetamine in Australian history.
"This has resulted in 3.6 million individual hits of ice being taken off our streets with a street value of AU$1.26 billion," he said, referring to crystal meth by a nickname.
"This largest seizure of liquid methamphetamine to date is the result of organized criminals, targeting the lucrative Australian ice market from offshore."
Australian Federal Police Commander Chris Sheehan said the joint operation with Chinese authorities began in December 2015 when the Australian Border Force examined a shipping container out of Hong Kong in Sydney. It originated in mainland China.
"That shipping container was found to contain gel bra inserts and hidden inside those gel bra inserts was 190 liters of liquid methamphetamine," he said.
The seizure was referred to the Australian Federal Police, who began an investigation and traced an additional 530 liters of liquid methamphetamine to five storage units in Sydney, where they were found inside art supplies.
In January, a 33-year-old Hong Kong man was arrested and charged in connection with the original seizure.
A further two Hong Kongers, a man, 37, and a 52-year-old woman, along with a Chinese man, 59, were also arrested and charged with knowingly taking part in the manufacture of a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug over the stash in the storage units.
"We are alleging that the people we have arrested weren't just mere bit-players, they were significant players within this criminal network," said Sheehan, adding that they all face life in prison if convicted.
The bust comes two months after Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull unveiled a AU$300 million strategy to combat the growing use of ice following a government report that Australia had proportionally more users than most countries.
The report showed that the use of the highly addictive drug had doubled since 2007 to more than 200,000 users in 2013, with anecdotal evidence of higher current numbers.
An Australian Crime Commission report published last year found that while $80 bought one gram of ice in China, users in Australia had to pay $500 for the same amount.

Not enough to wash my haie!!
The convenience to my business location the safety aspect of this location was very disconcerting It seemed to be a truckers overbite stay location. It was also in a rather unsafe neighborhood. As a female traveling for business I would not recommend this location. The hotel is way past due for an up grade. The look of the hotel make it appear dirty.
Shower was great. Breakfast was fine. All good.
Nice large room that was clean and comfortable. There was a little rust around the ring of the tub
Waffle maker was about the only good thing. Smelt bad. It was dirty. Dead bugs on the steps and had a bad funk on the first floor. Breakfast was terrible. I think the "eggs" were a little old. I had booked a single queen bed. They tried to stick me in a full size bed. Told the guy at the desk, Josiah, what I booked and expected to get. He then gave me a different room "at no extra cost." Oh, thank you for not charging me extra for something I already paid for. Your hospitality is too kind, sir. Dont even bother expecting for the pool. It was about double the size of someone's bath tub. This place is a joke.
Was nice Extreme difficulty with. Water temperature Never cold. Tasted Terrible.
Surprised that our single Queen reservation ended up being a king bed. And still had plenty of room for our pack and play. Our room seemed to be a handicapped room, which meant that shower had a ramp into it, and all the water from the shower ran out into the rest of the bathroom. The bathroom floor was very sticky, probably because of this issue. The air conditioner was so loud we had to turn it off in the middle of the night because it kept waking us up. Our room had an adjoining door to another room which had a bunch of very loud and obnoxious people being crazy until very late hours of the night. The whole room even with air conditioning on was really humid and everything felt wet. Both times that my husband went to the front desk, the worker was on a personal call and made him wait for her to finish. Not a pleasant stay
The front desk staff and the lady that made breakfast were so friendly.
Nothing about room to like Dirty room..mold in refrigerator. Stains on sheets. Asked for replacement was told thru had none. Ice machine dirty and moldy. Worst hotel I've been at in 15 years.
pretty run down outdoor area and rooms were wornout
Staff helpful Bathroom tub poor, hotel doesn't look up to La Quinta standards, old facility.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The room was nice and spacious. Clean and friendly hotel staff. Convenient location- walmart across the street. Bar sits behind hotel so night time activites get loud esp on weekends. One user said there were jetted bathtubs which we didnt have but expected and looked forward to. Price was higher than what we felt it should be for what we got.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Indoor pool chlorine way too strong.
The bed was so comfy and the room was very clean No
Clean! Great lobby/lounge hang-out area. Free parking. Close to freeway and shopping.
The bed Getting out of the bed, I had booked my trip at another hotel, it was like sleeping on plywood. I checked out and came here. Awesome
Location and cleanliness No
The room was very comfortable and quiet
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Our entire stay was perfect! Staff was amazing and our room was exactly what we requested. Will definitely stay here again!!
Lovely and comfortable room.
Price Room smelled like a big cigarette butt
Stayed here with my brother and 2 pets as we were driving across the country to Florida. Easy check in and out, good grass patches to walk the dog and room was clean and comfortable. Location is right off highway and building is deceiving because it is quite dirty and run down looking. If aesthetics isnt your main priority then this place works great!
front desk lady was kind of nice. The bed had snot on it. One bed was broken and all sunk in the middle. One sheet had red stuff stained on it. the shower rod was broke and hanging by a busted screw, the curtain would not even close. The breakfast lady was probably the rudest person I've ever dealt with at a hotel. the A/c unit would only run for 4 minutes at a time, you could not run it when you water to. Just absolutely horrible. I've stayed at this exact place for several years now and my last 5 trips have just been horrible. 4-24-15 was my last night spent with at a best western. This one in particular is a $29 a night hotel.
We got lost going to the hotel but Annabelle gave us directions. She was very friendly and knowledgeble It was not located right by the hiway
Very nice place. New and clean. Good location. Helpful staff.
Located right off 287 and 44. Great location for us as we were traveling through. Did not try the breakfast. The hotel is old and needing updating but it was clean and the service was good. We booked it through Kayak. Good value for the money.
The price of the room was acomidating for what you got. The staff was friendly too. the location of the hotel is near some train tracks so you hear the train all night. Making it hard to get a good night sleep. There is a smell of cigarette smoke in the rooms and hallways. The elevator is very jumps hard when stopping at the floors. I most likely will not stay at this location again.
Breajfast Sketchy neighborhood, light out, no air, and no remote in exercise room
Nothing! Bed bugs!! And the GM did not care about my well being.
Location The room had a weird smell
Very friendly staff. Very clean room. Added 20.00 to my bill without any explanation as to why. Did not know until I got home and looked at bank statement. This is unacceptable.
Superb! The room was emaculatly clean! We will return! No
Perfectly located for my trip. Staff was excellent, very helpful and accommodating. No
Comfortable beds, Clean and odor free. Somewhat updated decor. Close to shopping and restaurants. Definitely will stay here on our next visit. Surprised it was only 2 1/2 star. Busy area of Wichita Falls and does take patience to travel to Hotel.
Very clean hotel, smelled wonderful but that could have been the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies every afternoon - NICE! And a very good complementary breakfast - very filling. This hotel is just across the parking lot from a nice mall.
The bathroom was not cleaned well. There were multiple hairs left in the tub and on the floor. This hotel is not very old and seemed worn down. I stay at hampton inn regularly when I travel and this hotel was not up to their typical standards.
Great place to stay
Everything was wonderful, breakfast, bed, room, etc. etc. Had a wonderful stay.
Helpful and friendly staff. Clean rooms.
I liked the room was clean and comfortable...literally just right next to the mall Staff could've been a little more friendly but was not rude either
Always enjoy a suite. Laundry facilities, cupboard and computer center are all pluses. Glad they are maintained.
Suite with plenty of kitchen utensils, all very clean. Well stocked pantry open 24/7.
The proximity to Sheppard AFB where I pick up my son on weekends. No
First time to stay here and will do again in a few weeks. Very well priced and more room and conveniences than local hotels. Good WiFi and rooms were quiet. No...I don't work for the hotel...totally un-related!
We kept finding crickets in or room.
Loved it, nice rooms flat screen t.v's, dvd player w/ tons of movies in lobby to pick from. The staff was friendly, totally accomodating. would stay there again and it is worth the extra few bucks to stay there
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Kitchenett Nothing
Friendly front desk staff. Everything about this hotel was clean -- from the elevator to the hall to the rooms. No ice machines--you turn on the ice machine in your room refrigerator when you arrive (so no ice is available when you first arrive). It is also noisy when the ice drops. We had to turn ours off when we went to bed to avoid the loud 'drop' of ice.
All of it was amazing. Best hotel I've ever stayed at
It was close to the highway. Added bonus--since the staff didn't clean the room well, there was still beer in the fridge from the previous guest! Both the evening and the morning staff were incredibly rude. The room hadn't been cleaned well possibly ever. Pubic hair and beard trimmings all over the bathroom. Truly gross. I've stayed in a lot of cheap motels and know what to expect but this was just awful--there are a bunch of hotels in this area in the same price range, find a different one!
The bed was comfortable. They allowed dogs! Breakfast was decent The room had a wet smell to it and the carpet felt wet the entire time. Almost as if the AC unit was leaking. There were bugs in the bathroom when we arrived. The towels provided were thin and only two were given.
comfy bed!!!!!! kitchenette!! dated carpet, and not as clean for a 3 star, smell of the room could have been better probably carpet needed cleaning!
Friendly and helpful staff
A clean confortable place to stay. Breakfast is good and parking is convenient. I stay here several times per year. They thought I was only staying for 1 day when the reservation was for two days. Door key failed after the first day probably due to the fact that they thought I was only staying 1 day. It took three new cards to finally get in but they did resolve the problem.
Staff was insanely kind and helpful at making us feel welcome. Our room was clean and spacious (we had a queen bed room). Everything was clean and comfortable, the bed was also very comfortable!
Big room Room was dirty, no remotes for tv's
The hotel was extremely clean. Very quiet and comfortable. Very new and good value for the money. Breakfast was good. I would recommend it to anyone who needs overnight accommodations in Amarillo.
i was very pleased with the ease of booking, there were no reservation issues, and all in all it was a great hotel for a great price. NOTE: 2 great things about this holiday inn expresss - 1) instead of vending machines they had a snack bar that could be charged to the room which was open 24hrs and 2) the breakfast was great plus it wasn't the same old thing each day!
Difficult to get to and find. The room was very nice. Clean, comfortable room. Pool was nice and even refreshing despite the horrendous heat. Breakfast was good, though there were no waffles. Beds were wonderful. Location is near the highway, but Wichita Falls is difficult to get around. I would stay there again.
you always know Holiday Inn will have an average level of service. This one raises the average.
The hotel was close to everything, very clean and the pool area was wonderful!! The room it's self was very spacious and also clean, the beds where great. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!!!
The staff were very friendly and inviting and helped with everything we required. The hotel was very nice and updated and the rooms were very clean. The breakfast had everything the kids wanted and more. They loved the pancake maker-thought it was the coolest thing they've seen.
Visitng daughter at college and wanted a nice place near there. This was the best place to stay! Great service, room, and breakfast. We will stay there again!
The Staff was great, very respectful and friendly! Our stay was very enjoyable! Would love to stay there every time we visit the Falls!
I don't know what a place as small as Wichita Falls can truly offer in the way of Luxury, perhaps there is a Chez-Fifi kind of place downtown no one really knows about complete with velvet curtains and a rosy-cheeked doorman, but for people passing through and relying on trusted names, this one doesn't disappoint. While I suppose the folks at Holiday Inn could have cut corners for being in a place like Wichita Falls, the one in this town is equipped as adequately as any other, be they in Los Angeles or Detriot. Comfortable, clean, modern. The exit from the highway is a little tricky, but once you get into the hotel and into your room, you're happy and you could be anywhere...
I had an overall pleasant experience with this hotel. My only suggestion would be to make the entrance more visible/accessable.
The hotel is pretty new, so it's very nice in that aspect. The lady who works the breakfast room was super friendly and a delight to see in the mornings. Good value for the money!
Avalibility Smell of the room small and not what I expected from Marriott
The staff was very nice and accommodating. I enjoyed the bathroom and bed linen being very clean and tidy. Cleaning staff great. The back door where I parked was broke and could not use card to get in. Was put in a room that was saturated with nicotine which I am highly allergic. Later on without question I was put in a very clean room that had not been smoked in. All was good.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The Intercollegiate Tennis Association released its first national team rankings Thursday, and the Volunteers are starting the 2014 season where they ended 2013 at No. 6.
The Tennessee Vols are returning their top four starters from a squad that reached the NCAA team quarterfinals and won 26 matches last season.
New individual rankings were also posted, and junior Hunter Reese led the way in singles. He cracked the top-20 for the first time at No. 16 after a 12-6 fall season with two victories agains top-10 opponents.
In doubles, Reese and Mikelis Libietis retained their hold on the No. 1 ranking in the nation. They were 11-2 during the fall season, capturing the doubles title at the ITA All-American Championships, their first national title. They are entering their third season at the No. 1 position in the Tennessee doubles lineup.
Senior Jarryd Chaplin and Brandon Fickey debuted in the doubles rankings as well, checking in at No. 28. The pair won the USTA Clay Court Invitational in Orlando and have a 5-0 record.
Libietis, who fought illness and injury at times, fell to No. 34 in the singles rankings with a 7-3 record. He also represented Latvia in a Davis Cup tie, helping his home nation to a win over Finland.
Head coach Sam Winterbotham and associate head coach Chris Woodruff are now in their eighth season coaching together at UT. They earned ITA national coach and assistant coach of the year honors last season and have led the Vols to five top-10 finishes. Tennessee has reached the NCAA quarterfinals or better three of the last four years, including the team finals in 2010.
Last season, the Vols finished 26-9 overall and 8-4 in the SEC. Libietis was voted the ITA National Player to Watch and the SEC Player of the Year as he and Reese collected All-America honors for the first time. Libietis, Reese and Chaplin were named All-SEC.
Tennessee's season opens Jan. 18 at home against Tennessee Tech at 10 a.m. and Eastern Kentucky at 2 p.m. Admission is free to all regular-season matches at Goodfriend Tennis Center (indoors) and Barksdale Stadium (outdoors).

The CBI has today announced its support for proposals to force companies in the UK to set their own internal targets for board diversity.
In its submission to Lord Davies of Abersoch's review of the lack of women in the boardroom, the employers' group rejected mandatory quotas, but said it would back legislation that would require companies to explain any failure to meet their gender diversity goals.
As discussed in an earlier post, a similar system due to be introduced in Australia next year has already had a dramatic effect on the number of female directors participating at board level. In the first half of 2010, 27 per cent of new appointments to the top 200 companies listed this year on the Australian Securities Exchange were women, compared with just 5 per cent in 2009, according to the Australian Securities Council.
Helen Alexander, president of the CBI, said:
"We need to see more women progressing through the ranks and do more to keep them moving along the career pipeline into the top jobs. Schemes such as flexible working, mentoring and networking have helped, but making progress at the very top levels of business will require more sophisticated talent management.
"What is needed is cultural change, not quotas, ratios or tokenism. That is why we are calling for a flexible system that will allow firms to set targets that reflect the realities of their businesses."
The CBI also highlighted the declining total number of board directorships that has contributed to fewer opportunities for women and the fact that most female appointments are to non-executive positions. Of all female directors of FTSE 100 companies in 2010, 87 per cent were in non-executive roles, it said, and the number of executive directors in the FTSE 100 had grown from 12 in 1999 to just 16 this year.
The business organisation called for chairmen to lead the charge for change, becoming mentors for women in their companies. It said recruitment companies needed to ensure diversity in candidate lists and that companies should strengthen their talent pipelines to include more women.
Even when companies do increase participation to executive committee level, the doors to the boardroom remain closed. The CBI noted:
"The fall in female representation from 17.2 per cent at executive committee level to 5.6 per cent in holding executive directorships is evidence of specific barriers to the boardroom."
Looking at catalysts for change, the CBI argued for stronger advocacy, greater transparency and a wider talent pool. It said it supported the "comply or explain" code because, it argued, "what gets measured gets done".
Some will argue that allowing companies to set their own internal targets lets them off the diversity hook and that minimum board quotas should be imposed. Speaking at the FT Women at the Top conference held in London in November, Christine Lagarde, the French finance minister, eloquently argued the case for mandatory quotas, since the voluntary approach had yielded such poor progress.
This is the time for anyone with an interest in board diversity to join the debate. Whether you are a working woman, a board director or a search consultant, add your comment. What do you think? Is the CBI championing the "comply or explain" code because it is the least demanding of options? Or does the Australian example show that nudging can work?
Andrew Hill adds:
Actually, there's a fascinating difference of opinion between the two big UK business organisations on this issue.
While the CBI favours targets, the Institute of Directors does not. The IoD endorses the aim but says "targets of any kind are just quick-fix solutions". Such proposals put "unjustifiable emphasis on gender diversity in comparison to other dimensions of diversity, eg experience, professional background, personality, age, nationality, etc."
Here's Miles Templeman, IoD director-general:
"There are no shortcuts to greater gender diversity in the boardroom. As in other areas of corporate governance, the government should focus on long-term solutions rather than measures – such as board quotas or targets – that merely mask the symptoms of the problem."
So there.

US 50 Crash Injures Two
Two passengers were flown to Columbus after a crash on US 50 Wednesday night in Western Ross County. The Highway Patrol says 29 year old Trenton Kuhn and 28 year old Heather Brown (both of Chillicothe) were airlifted to OSU Medical Center with what's described as non-life threatening injuries. Both were passengers in a car driven by 18 year old Caleb Reynolds (also of Chillicothe). The patrol says Reynolds turned left into an east bound semi driven by 33 year old Matthew Ingles of Chillicothe. Reynolds and Ingles were not seriously injured. The crash was reported just after 7 o'clock Wednesday evening near Upper Twin Road and remains under investigation.

Gov: 6 underground Hanford nuclear tanks leaking
YAKIMA, Wash.(AP) Six underground tanks that hold a brew of radioactive and toxic waste at the nation's most contaminated nuclear site are leaking, federal and state officials said Friday.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said the leaking material poses no immediate risk to public safety or the environment because it would take a while perhaps years to reach groundwater.
But the leaking tanks raise new concerns about delays for emptying them and strike another blow to federal efforts to clean up south-central Washington's Hanford nuclear reservation, where successes often are overshadowed by delays, budget overruns and technological challenges.
Department of Energy spokeswoman Lindsey Geisler said there was no immediate health risk and said federal officials would work with Washington state to address the matter.
State officials just last week announced that one of Hanford's 177 underground tanks was leaking 150 to 300 gallons a year, posing a risk to groundwater and rivers. So far, nearby monitoring wells haven't detected higher radioactivity levels.
Inslee traveled to Washington, D.C., this week to discuss the problem with federal officials. He said Friday that he learned in meetings that six tanks are leaking waste.
"We received very disturbing news today," the governor said. "I think that we are going to have a course of new action and that will be vigorously pursued in the next several weeks."
The federal government built the Hanford facility at the height of World War II as part of the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb. The remote site produced plutonium for the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, and continued supporting the nation's nuclear weapons arsenal for years.
Today, it is the most contaminated nuclear site in the country, still surrounded by sagebrush but with Washington's Tri-Cities of Richland, Kennewick and Pasco several miles downriver.
Hanford's tanks hold some 53 million gallons of highly radioactive waste enough to fill dozens of Olympic-size swimming pools and many of those tanks are known to have leaked in the past. An estimated 1 million gallons of radioactive liquid already leaked there.
The tanks also are long past their intended 20-year life span raising concerns that even more tanks could be leaking though they were believed to have been stabilized in 2005.
Inslee said the falling waste levels in the six tanks were missed because only a narrow band of measurements was evaluated, rather than a wider band that would have shown the levels changing over time.
#86348 Feb 22, 2013
"It's like if you're trying to determine if climate change is happening, only looking at the data for today," he said. "Perhaps human error, the protocol did not call for it. But that's not the most important thing at the moment. The important thing now is to find and address the leakers."
There are legal, moral and ethical considerations to cleaning up the Hanford site at the national level, Inslee said, adding that he will continue to insist that the Energy Department completely clean up the site.
He also stressed the state would impose a "zero-tolerance" policy on radioactive waste leaking into the soil.
Cleanup is expected to last decades and cost billions of dollars.
The federal government already spends $2 billion each year on Hanford cleanup one-third of its entire budget for nuclear cleanup nationally. The Energy Department has said it expects funding levels to remain the same for the foreseeable future, but a new Energy Department report released this week includes annual budgets of as much as $3.5 billion during some years of the cleanup effort.
Much of that money goes toward construction of a plant to convert the underground waste into glasslike logs for safe, secure storage. The plant, last estimated at more than $12.3 billion, is billions of dollars over budget and behind schedule. It isn't expected to being operating until at least 2019.
Given those delays, the federal government will have to show that there is adequate storage for the waste in the meantime, Inslee said.
"We are not convinced of this," he said. "There will be a robust exchange of information in the coming weeks to get to the bottom of this."
Inslee and Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber have championed building additional tanks to ensure safe storage of the waste until the plant is completed. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said earlier this week that he shares their concerns about the integrity of the tanks but he wants more scientific information to determine it's the correct way to spend scarce money.
Tom Carpenter of Hanford Challenge, a Hanford watchdog group, said Friday it's disappointing that the Energy Department is not further along on the waste treatment plant and that there aren't new tanks to transfer waste into.
"None of these tanks would be acceptable for use today. They are all beyond their design life. None of them should be in service," he said. "And yet, they're holding two-thirds of the nation's high-level nuclear waste."
Wyden noted the nation's most contaminated nuclear site and the challenges associated with ridding it of its toxic legacy will be a subject of upcoming hearings and a higher priority in Washington, D.C.

For Hemburn, "Nope" and all Harley lovers. There isn't a better thing to ride on two wheels (or three). Nothing roars like them. You can tell a Harley before you see it. I cannot believe the Super Bowl ad was not shown. Why not feature a true AMERICAN product. What a shame. Nothing like a Harley. Makes me what to write a letter to the advertising people in charge of the ads for that World Wide Event. Makes no sense to me. Enjoy a true American success story:

USPS introduces muscle car themed stamps
Saturday mail service will soon be history, but according to the U.S. Postal Service, muscle cars are "forever."
Today, the USPS is introducing a new set of stamps featuring five of Americas most legendary muscle cars.
Painted by artist Tom Fritz, the stamps depict the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS and the 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda, all burning their tires like theres no tomorrow.
And, of course, they're made in the USA.
The third in the post offices "America on the Move" series, which previously featured sporty cars and cars with fins and chrome from the 1950s, the self-adhesive Muscle Cars Forever stamps live up to their name, and will be good as first-class mail one-ounce rate postage for eternity, or at least as long as the USPS exists.

I want to get them all for my son or grandchild I may or may not have some day. lol
I love every single one of them. They are my favorite cars when watching Barrett Jackson auctions. Plus, Cameros, Covettes, Thunderbirds. Wow, those were all of the best of the muscle cars. I would love to do the Carl Casper Car Show in Louisville this weekend. I have been several times and always enjoy it. This weekend is tied up and the big ESPN Game Day at Rupp Arena is tomorrow night. UK Party.:)

177 underground nuclear tanks in Wa??? If they leak that does mean water will be affected by the seepage unless it's contained. It is so easy for man to destroy life on earth.

Hi Misty eyed, got home late tonight again, took a shower and am wide awake. I thought I would check if AW was up for tree time. I have thought of all my topix friends today who have OTR drivers when I look at the mess dumped out in Kansas, Colorado etc..glad it hit the Ohio River and spared Kentucky. lol
I love to watch those Eagles nest and raise their young. It is always nice to watch the live feed when I want to see nature not witness with your own eye. I love that project. They do Owls and other birds too. I like to watch the Eagles. They are my favorite.
I can drink coffe anytime, including shortly before I go to bed. It never bothers me.
I thought I would leave some decent reading for the early risers. lol I don't appreciate the Una imposter. Not funny. He outed her good. He may have been wrong about Nope, but not that one.
I am so happy we have a Spring like weekend forecast. High 50's, I will take it. lol Plan on getting out in the yard and picking up what the cold wind blew in, get some things done at the house, prepare snacks for the UK get together with family and friends all dressed in their UK Blue and have a great weekend.
I hope you enjoy yours.:)

For lala,
Another sad story with a happy ending. Wonder why people have to be so cruel. Even if they thought it was dead from parvo, why didn't they make sure and if so bury it in the back yard or somewhere like pet owners do. God's Creatures are not trash.

Newborn Puppy Thrown in the Trash Gets Rescued
Trash collector Michael Upchurch was making his normal rounds when he happened upon a trash container that was whimpering! Inside, he found a small puppy, hungry and covered in garbage. It was a miracle Michael was able to save it in time!
#86356 Feb 22, 2013
Oh, I'll try. I agree with you about the Una issue. He was pretty frank and at times thoughtful. His comedy and remarks sure are missed. Wish Nope. Lala, AW, Blue well. Apparently, AW has been preparing some meals and Dog's been getting treats as well. It's nice to hear that all seems to be well with the other posters. Life can be fine;) Or at least if we make it so...

Puppy rescued. Such a sweet little mug. Sure wasn't loved to be treated that way:( Have a good night. Will try to nap now. Hehe.Lovely weekend to you as well;)

Hey bird peeps. Just doing a quick fly by to let you all know that I'm still among the living. I've had a couple of blah days.. Like was said previously, I worry too when someone doesn't post for a while.
On another note, I don't know what someone is getting out of posting under Mr Farters moniker, but I contacted Topix about it and they are going to look into the matter... This is an abomination and it needs to stop. I've been keeping a file of every thing I've found since he passed, including the links, and sent the Mods every bit of info they need to get to the bottom of it. So just be patient, they're looking into it. Whoever is doing this needs to realize that the engineers employed by Topix have their little ways, i.e., comparing IP's, etc. This scam probably won't go on for much longer.
#86360 Feb 22, 2013
Hey "Nope". I was wondering about you. I am still up. Know if I can do anything but stare out the window or the ceiling fan I might as well do something to make me sleep. Staring at at a PC.
Thanks for doing that. I think that is just down right cold to try to taunt people using his name like that. It is pretty low.
Cheer up, we have a Springlike weekend. Enjoy it on your land with your animals you love, crank up that Harley and take a ride. That always helped me clear my head. I only ride on the back of them. lol I haven't in a while. Miss it.
Have a peace night and pleasant dreams.:)

I just made another cup of coffee. I'm like you, I can drink it 24/7 and not have any trouble sleeping when my body tells me it's time to lay down.
I'll let you all know what I find out about this Una fake if I'm able to and if Topix lets me in on it. I suspect that it will just be dealt with quietly and we'll never know the outcome, other than the fact that these false posts will cease once and for all.
It's just not right. Even though I regret that there was no love lost between Mr Farter and myself, I don't like what's going on. It's a mockery of his memory.. And oddly enough, the 'socks' he used are still MIA. Too many clues lead to the fact that whoever is doing this, surely isn't very savvy as far as being slick... They haven't hit many of the other threads his frequented and they don't have the sense to carry this on for much longer. The clock is ticking....
#86362 Feb 23, 2013
I had a good evening with my friend and went on to bed long before you late night bird threaders, and now up for dog/tree and the day with my own coffee.
Places to go and people to see this morning. Chickens are wantng me to sell enough of their handiwork to buy them some more groceries and give the excess to the old folks at the Senior Citizen's Center. They said if I would do that, they would contribute another 7 or 8 dozen to distribute next week.
I have one poor hen that does not know if it is a goose or a robin. One day the egg was the largest I have ever seen and the next day it was the smallest. Neither would fit well in the carton lol

Good morning, everyone. Beautiful day, today, but I'm in a world of misery. Took another nasty fall during my nightly sleepwalking episodes. Wiped out my head, neck, and of all things, my big thumb. It may be a good thing after all that I'm so hard-headed. Enjoy the day today, folks, it will gradually warm up until we are plunged back into winter. Last few years, though, we went straight from winter to summer heat, as I recall.

I decided my next purchase will be a wheel gun. This will be my first revolver. It will be used for range work and maybe home defense after familiarization. Ive decided a 6inch full size .38/.357 will fit the bill. I will probably be shooting .38s 99% of the time, but I feel a full size would be best for learning, and extended range use.
I have been looking hard at the S&W 686, and the Ruger GP-100 (and lightly kicking around the idea of a Taurus) trying to decide which is for me. Let me talk myself through here, and feel free to set me straight.
GP-100 - Im told they are tough and able to handle the full house .357 loads for a long time. To my relatively untrained eye it feels the most solid of them all. I would probably replace the front sight with an orange insert, and maybe the grips with Hogue finger grooves. The price is very good for quality gun.
S&W It feels good with the Hogue finger groove grips. The sights are to my liking. And, probably to none of the veterans surprise, the trigger is a dream. The single action pull is crisp, sharp, and beautiful. The gun store guys word was electric with no mechanical feel at all. Im sure Im not experienced enough of a shooter to appreciate this trigger. The price is nearly a third more than the GP-100.
Taurus I am sure it would handle my occasional range use, and the price is the lowest of the three, but it feels the least sturdy. It has a few sharp edges, and the roughest trigger of the three. I think that the nearly identical price to the Ruger make it the third place winner. (was never really in the running)
Now that Ive have talked myself down to the Ruger or S&W, I guess my question (finally) is which would you choose? The solid, attainable Ruger (with upgrades probably in the future) or the 686 with every thing Im looking for and less money for ammo.
Tell me what you think, and teach me what you know.

The movie, innocence of Muslims, depicts Muhammad as a fraud and a womanizer.
The innocence Project has reduced it, morally and materially.
In fact, they are linked by a taut common thread: innocence encountering the face of evil.
Would we be robbing our children of their innocence by turning their places of learning into an armed camp?
At the outset, I argued that Weiner was entitled to the presumption of innocence.
Manifest my innocence; and if it be gold, thou shalt have thy desire.
Captain Candage preserved the demeanor of innocence under Mayo's scrutiny.
In my own mind that was the strongest argument in favor of Leithcourt's innocence.
innocence and modesty are twin sisters, which cannot be separated.
Giles had refused to believe his assertion of innocence, and he had no proof.
mid-14c., "freedom from guilt," from Old French inocence "innocence, purity, chastity" (12c.), from Latin innocentia, from innocens "harmless, blameless" (see innocent). Meaning "lacking in guile or artifice" is from late 14c.

Buddhist Holidays
Buddha's Birthday Celebration
The biggest celebration in the Buddhist' world. It falls into 8th day of the fourth month by lunar calender according to the Mahayana tradition. In 2017 we celebrate on Saturday and Sunday of May 6-7.
The Sunday is dedicated to religious events. After morning meditation everyone in the service have speical opportunity to bathe the baby Buddha while chanting Shakamuni Buddha. Three-refuge Taking and Blessing of Children signifies the Buddhist tradition to honor all the children for future Buddhas. In the Sunday afternoon public can enjoy the free talk; demonstration on Zen Meditation.
Buddha's Birthday Celebration ends with the lovely Lotus Lantern Lightings and Chanting Service. We encourage people to dedicate lanterns during the Celebration. This is an old traditional Buddhist custom. Buddhists dedicate their lanterns to renew their commitment to help themselves and others attain enlightenment, to gain spiritual strength for their problems, or for the peace of the world and happiness of all beings, or on behalf of or in memory of a family member or friend.
Lantern Dedication
"Be ye lamps unto yourselves.
Rely on yourselves and do not rely on external help.
Hold fast to the truth as a lamp."
Lantern dedication is an old traditional Buddhist custom to dedicate a lantern on Buddha¹s Birthday. Buddhists dedicate their lanterns to renew their commitment to help themselves and others attain enlightenment, to gain spiritual strength for their problems, or for the peace of the world and happiness of all beings, or on behalf of or in memory of a family member or friend. The dedication is personaly written on a piece of paper which is then attached to the lantern. Buddha's Birthday is a special occasion, so along with a lantern dedication it is a custom to make a special donation to the temple in order to express one¹s gratitude and support the good work. Dedicate lanterns to parents, grand-parents, children, relatives, friends, a lover, spouse, partner or yourself. Dedicate lanterns to those who are deceased, ill or in difficulties and hardships. Dedicate lanterns to people in incarceration, those who live in hatred or to your pets. Express your gratitude, let your good will prevail, send your prayer and good wishes, show that you love and care. Make reconciliation, seek forgiven or send a message of hope conveying words of love and compassion. Remember people who helped and inspired you and give them your thanks and love. Open your heart and celebrate life. Please feel free to make your own dedication and prayer and mail them with your donation to the Zen Buddhist Temple. It is a beautiful experience to view the lanterns and sing "My mind is Buddha".
If you like to dedicate a lantern please write your dedication letter and mail it to the temple with a donation (suggested $30 for individual; $50 for family; $10 for child)
Buddha's Enlightenment Day
Buddha's Enlightenment Day celebrates the three days that Siddhartha Gautama sat under the bodhi tree in India and attained enlightenment, or awakening. On the third day of unbroken sitting more than 2500 years ago, he awoke and saw the world and, after some prodding by associates, began to teach others. Thus, he became the Buddha (the Pali word for teacher).
This sitting is a remembrance of that, a quiet, calming way to take note that one already has everything one needs.
You don't have to spend the whole night and can come for as little as two hours. If you stay after midnight, we kindly ask that you stay until 4 am, to avoid disrupting others. The event is open to all; a donation or offering is appreciated.
Friday January 6, 2017
Buddha's Parinirvana Day
Celebrate the Buddha's Great Passing into the perfect Nirvana. The second full moon day by lunar calender. Sunday April 5, 2015
Ullambana Day

rightful place among the living and release from suffering in their next rebirth.
Prior consultation and appointment necessary.

Just thought I'd use my first post to introduce myself. I've been a member for a short while, but have only been browsing and keeping to myself. I recently sold my 2000 Honda S2000 to replace her with a WRX.
For those that care, my S had the following mods:
OEM Lip Spoiler
OEM Side Strakes
OEM Decklid Spoiler
OEM Hardtop
Top Secret Carbon Fiber Hood
Rick's NFR Wheel Badges
Rick's NFR Body Badges
Sparco Racer II Steering Wheel
Muz Accessories Polished Dead Pedal
Comptech Short Ram Intake
Clutchmasters Stage 1 Clutch
Invidia Cat-Back Exhaust
Zex Kit (50 shot)
Comptech Rear End Housing
Rick's 4.57 Gearset
I'm in no hurry to buy my WRX. I want to be sure to find the right one. Being only 22, I can't afford to be too careless.
Since I'm introducing myself, a quick pic of me:
Wish me luck in my search.
