The first few weeks of the year are busy with birthday celebrations in the Mate family. First there was Ica's mother's birthday - Granny Icu, as the family call her, celebrated her 68th birthday with a big family party. Then a fortnight later, it was Ica's own birthday - her 50th.
Ica and her family spent weeks planning the party. All of the invitations were sent out - unfortunately too late for some. Lajos's brother and sister were unable to come with their families. At one point, they were even hoping to book the Chippendales to do a birthday striptease for Ica, but it turned out to be too expensive. Instead, her daughter Timi and Szandi, her daughter-in-law, decorated the flat with streamers, lanterns and balloons, while Lajos worked heroically in the kitchen.
All Ica's closest family and friends were invited. Among the guests were Ica's children, Timi and Zoli; Timi's boyfriend, Balazs, and Zoli's wife, Szandi, with her son, Viktor; Ica's mother, Icu; her niece, Klaudia, with her grandmother, Marika; her best friend from school, Bea, with her daughter, Viki; two next-door neighbours, Marti and Istvan with his movie camera; and the surprise guests of the night, Timi's mother-in-law, Magdi, and brother-in-law, Nandi, who are good family friends.
The party is an enormous success. There is soft background music playing and in the middle of the room a table is laid with a golden tablecloth covered with plates of food. All of the food - a big cold dish with two salads, ham and cheese rolls and stuffed eggs - is prepared by Lajos.
When the plates are empty the lights are turned down and Zoli and Timi bring out two decorated cakes in the shape of a 50. Everyone sings Happy Birthday, then Ica blows out the candles.
The cakes were ordered from the confectioner down the street - one is made of strawberry, the other raspberry. There's another cake too, oval-shaped and made of sweet cheese, that was made by Lajos, who is very proud of his creation. He got the recipe from Magdi last Christmas when they visited her in the country.
A big green apron is found for Szandi, who cuts the cakes and puts a piece of each on plates, which are then passed round. Champagne is poured into a variety of glasses, as there are so many people. Ica gets the biggest and most beautiful - it's like a vase. Everyone clinks glasses and wishes Ica another happy 50 years.
Viktor is very excited, zigzagging around the adults, then he kneels next to Ica on the sofa, strokes her face and hair and gives her a kiss. Two cameras record the occasion - Istvan, the neighbour, is shooting with a big old-fashioned movie camera while Timi records the party on Balazs' mobile phone.
A little later, Timi calls everybody out to the open corridor. Ica and her guests put on their coats and jackets and crowd on to the small second-floor balcony, not knowing what to expect. Suddenly a firework bursts high up in the sky. Red, green, white and yellow fire-flowers appear above the trees. Ica is overcome by the surprise and has tears in her eyes.
After the fireworks, Istvan puts on the video he has just made and they watch the whole evening again. The guests start to leave - first Balazs with his mother, brother and Timi, because he has a night shift ahead. Ica thanks them and sends them off into the night with a bag of cake and other leftovers.

Honestly, I love what that video says. I went to work full time in the autobody industry one week out of high school because I LOVED doing it. My friend who recently passed away went into law enforcement right out of school. He said to me just a few weeks before he died when another friend of ours who also became a cop and recently retired at 50 years old came up in the conversation. When I mentioned how I should have done that too and I could retire now. He said, "Brian, you have spent 35 years doing something you love. You have made show cars and had fun, you have traveled as a paint rep, you owned your own shop, all those things you look back with a sparkle in your eye, you enjoyed it, as a cop your memories would be cleaning up vomit from the back of your patrol car and seeing women with black eyes from their husbands beating her, which would you rather have as memories?"
I have never gotten rich, but damn it I have enjoyed what I have done for a living.
And I don't mind doing it longer than my retired friend, sure if I was cleaning up vomit I would want to retire, but I don't have any plans on retiring, I love what I do.

3 Days In The Dominican Republic
Day 3: Back to sea levelYou will most likely arrive back at Jarabacoa late in the afternoon, which leaves you just enough time to make your way back to Santo Domingo, with one important stop along the way. While in the area, you'll have to take a short drive to the city of Moca, the cigar-making capital of the Dominican Republic.
The Dominican Republic is actually the largest cigar-producing country in the world with over 80 million rolled each year, although it's often overshadowed by Cuba. The cigars of the Dominican Republic are of superior quality and are often cited as being better than the over-hyped Cuban varieties; they are a great gift to bring home for friends or to keep for your own private stash. Stop by a specialty shop to pick up the freshest hand-rolled cigars available — the popular brands are Montecristo, Cohiba and Juan Clemente.
The drive back to Santo Domingo will take you through small rural villages and will let you see how the locals live on this vibrant island. Stands selling everything under the sun are set up along this well-traveled route, so feel free to stop and pick up any last-minute items for the folks at home.
To end your stay on this wonderful island, head over to one of the many casinos in Santo Domingo to wager with whatever cash you have left. Most of the major hotels in the city, most notably the Sheraton, have gaming floors that give you a great excuse to dress up and test your luck. When you've had your fill, head over to the waterfront boardwalk known as the Malecon to join the boisterous, all-night festivities under the starlit sky.
tips for the trip
- Merchants expect you to haggle, so never accept the first price they offer you.
- Cab fare is negotiable, so don't automatically pay the meter fare. If you prefer to agree on a flat rate beforehand, ask the driver.
the land of sun and sandVisiting the Dominican Republic can give every traveler a different experience and a different set of stories to tell; some like to lay on a beach and some like to revel in the local spirits. However, this Caribbean jewel is home to incredible sporting opportunities and a long and colorful history, neither of which should be ignored.

Tens of thousands of teachers, students and union workers have been protesting outside of the capital in Madison, Wisconsin since last week. On Saturday morning the more than 50,000 protesters, who are saying 'no' to Governor Scott Walker's Budget Repair Bill SB11, covered six city blocks in downtown Madison. The protesters have been joined by an estimated 300 members of the National Tea Party who are supporting SB11. The bill calls for an end to collective bargaining rights for teachers and other state workers in Wisconsin. Fourteen democratic senators walked out of a Senate meeting on Thursday and are expected to stay out of state until Governor Walker agrees to go back to the negotiating tables. Teachers from across the state of Wisconsin called in sick in protest of SB11 on Thursday and Friday, causing dozens of schools to temporarily close. Teachers say they expect to keep protesting until a change occurs. They are willing to put everything on the line to stand up for collective bargaining rights. KPFA's Sharon Sobotta has more.

I want to congratulate you all on your strength and courage. I am a retired teacher in the LA area and I have participated in rallies and protests over union contracts. I think what the Republican party is attempting is ruthless and shameful.
You will be victorious. I drove all the way to Sacramento just to attend a rally supporting you. Recall Gov. Walker!!
The mass rally last weekend was wonderful.
I would like to donate to your cause. Please send me some snailmail address so I can mail you a check. I have already donated to the JWJ.org web site for Indiana workers.
I send you my heartfelt support. I want to help you. When we help another, we help ourselves.
The ruthless, vicious aggression of the Republican party must be stopped. There is no decency left in a group that conducts themselves the way they do. Down with the Repuplican agenda to crush collective bargaining and gutting social services!!!!!!

Ok I if I take photos for someone I still own the copyright for the photos right? And can use them whenever?
It probably depends on which country you are in. Looking at your other posts it might be worth while getting legal advice if you are going to do things like wedding photography; you will need a contract then anyway.
This forum is mainly for website development with a section on photography; it might be worth joining a dedicated photography forum for your answers.
If you are the creator of a 'work' then in most countries, you own the copyright unless there's a contractual agreement stating otherwise. Whether you can do whatever you please with the photos is a different kettle of fish. It's unlikely anyone is going to hire you to take photos and give you the right to do anything with them beyond hand over the prints to them. Also the contents of the photo may contain trademarks, other copyrightable works or may require model release etc. So as always the devil is in the detail.
Could you provide more detail? Who are you taking photos for, what are the photos of, and is there any contractual agreement in place?
The right of people that you take photos of to dictate how you can use those photos is usually covered by privacy laws. It has nothing to do with copyright.
That's assuming that it's people that he's photographing. If on the other hand he's photographing Picassos and selling the prints he may run fowl of copyright law.
Well the original post does say "someone" not "something".
It says 'for someone', not 'of someone', as in, he may be taking photos of a Picasso for someone

AC Golden's Olathe lager, honoring farmers, is only available on the Western Slope
Headed to the Western Slope? That's the only place you'll be able to score a bottle of Olathe, a German-style lager that AC Golden Brewing made to honor the harvest season and the growers who work with the company.
"The corn, barley and hops were all grown within one mile of each other in Olathe," AC Golden president Glenn Knippenberg says in a statement. "We brewed this lager to celebrate...all the men and women who work so hard in agriculture in the state."
See also: - Who's keeping local hop farmers in business? Is it AC Golden? - Slideshow: Hop Farming in Colorado - AC Golden's Checkpoint Charlie and five other Colorado-made Berliner weisses
AC Golden was founded in 2008 as a brand incubator for MillerCoors and is located inside its parent company's plant in Golden. Its primary commercial beer is Colorado Native, which is brewed with 100 percent Colorado-grown and -made products.
In fact, as we wrote in our September 2012 cover story "Is Everyone Hoppy," AC Golden buys 90 percent of the Colorado hops crop for Colorado Native.
Olathe lager, meanwhile, uses Crystal and Nugget hops from Misty Mountain Hops Farm, along with Charles two-row winter barley malt and Olathe sweet corn.
The label reads: "Whether it's fruits, vegetables, grains or hops, the fertile ground from Fruita to Palisade, and down to Montrose and from Paonia to Delta, produces world class agriculture. 'Home grown' is important to us. We're the brewers that brew Colorado Native Lager from ingredients grown only in Colorado. To celebrate the harvest season and the area's rich agriculture heritage, we brewed this golden lager as a tip of the hat to those who work the ground to feed us all."
Olathe is available on draft and in 750-ml bottles (only 1,440 were produced) in Delta, Cedaredge, Grand Junction, Hotchkiss, Montrose, Olathe, Palisade and Paonia.

When using these data, please acknowledge that they are the property of the Danish and Greenlandic Geological Survey (GEUS). A cooperative agreement with GEUS was signed before any access was granted to the hardcopy data digitized by Niels Foged and his students at Artek.
In 1967, the Greenlandic Geological Survey (GEUS) started a program to monitor soil temperatures in permafrost and seasonal frost areas in West Greenland as part of the UNESCO International Hydrological Decade program (Olesen 1967a, van Tatenhove and Olesen 1994). That same year, Ole Olesen established a permafrost station in Ilulissat (formerly Jakobshavn, 69°N, 51°N, 44 m asl). After 1982, the GGU ceased monitoring the thermal properties of permafrost, in part, because several thermistors stopped working.
Olesen installed 21 platinum resistance thermometers in boreholes every 0.25 m down to 2 m below the surface, every 50 cm down to 5 m, every 1 m between 5 m and 9 m, and every 2 m from 9 m to 15 m. The thermistors consisted of platinum wire with a resistance of 100.00 ± 0.1 &Omega at 0.25°C. They were mounted in pertinax tubes, each holding three thermistors at different levels.
Data are in tab-delimited ASCII text format. The file "ggd631_soiltmp_iluliss.txt" contains columns for date, raw borehole temperatures at depths ranging from 0.25 m to 15 m, maximum and minimum daily air temperatures, snow index (1-4), and snow depth (cm). The snow index indicates snow extent in quartiles (1 = 25%, 2 = 50%, 3 = 75%, 0 = no data).
The date format is "ddmmyyyy." The date is left-justified when days are single digits. For example, "61111968" is 6 November 1968.Missing values are indicated by "-999." Corrected temperatures take into account calibration factors found in "ggd631_sensors_iluliss.txt." This file lists the sensors with corresponding depths (m) and calibration factors (°C). Some thermistors stopped working during the period of data collection.

Data were collected from a station in Ilulissat, west Greenland, at approximately 69°N, 51°W. The station was located 32 m east of the heliport control house, at approximately 44 m asl, in an area with about 8 m of sediment above the bedrock. The ground around the station was horizontal and completely saturated with water. About 10 cm of grass and moss grew in the station area. A peat layer 20 m to 30 cm thick underlied the vegetation. A blue-gray silt sediment with some stones and sandy layers underlied the peat layer down to the bedrock surface, at approximately 7.8 m to 9.4 m below the surface. The bedrock was gneiss. It was heavily weathered in the top 3 m to 4 m. Permafrost was present at 2 m depth.
Thermometers recorded temperatures once a day from November 1968 to June 1982; however, this data set only contains bi-weekly averages.

looks pretty good to me--real retro style!
looks pretty good to me--real retro style!
Guys over on ARF caught that I missed the "S" curve at the mag release so I'll be back on that this week if I get some time.
Nice. I need to cut the S curve on mine. I only cut the lower fence on mine. My Colt is a flat side. Been looking at photos of early M16 with prong flash hiders that have only the partial upper fence. Most of the photos of M16a1 show a full fence. My cast receiver was acquired about 15yrs ago from a fun show in Houston. Is your receiver the one on GB that is cast. The front hinge on yours is closer to original than mine. Have you considered JB Weld instead of Bondo? Got my kit at Royal Tiger. Got better furniture at GPC. Early style butt with no trap door.
Yeah, this is the $35.00 cast on gunbroker, I am trying to duplicate a 601 I have already done the upper and the charging handle. This one is all parts from various sources not a kit. I did a a1 from a parts kit from centerfire and was happy with it I used a full fence but I have another 80 so I may do a partial fence for it
Those GB cast receivers are tempting. Are you pleased with the quality? Royal Tiger had kits but sold out for $299. GPC Numrich has early furniture kits with buttstock w/o trapdoor for$40 & prong flash suppressor for $13. To get the discount shipping code (online sales only) call the order number and listen to the recording as it changes often. Best thing about the space age retro rifles is the weight.
Looks good to me Bubba. Good job. One of these days maybe I'll get to build a retro A1.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
I am happy with them I intend to get 2 more myself. Thanks for the heads up on the stock sets

9. She Plays Favorites
In a perfect world, all managers would love all of their direct reports equally. Sadly, it's human nature to click with some people more than others, and it can become a problem when a superior favors one employee with more responsibility (or raises) based on preference, not performance.
How to manage her: No, it's not fair, but this is one time when it might be best to ignore the problem. And that's because complaining will be unlikely to change your superior's mind. Resist the temptation to whine to co-workers, gossip about your boss's office pet or keep an endless tally of what she got that you didn't. Instead, keep a close eye on your own progress. Schedule time with your boss to map out your career goals, figure out what behavior she admires in that other person (if it's job-related), and be sure to exceed your goals. In the end, that's your best shot at coming out ahead.

Men's Golf Team headed to Nationals
Entering the final round trailing Muhlenberg by four strokes, the Green Terror combined to a shoot a 304 on Sunday to win by 17 strokes over the Mules and capture its fifth CC crown and automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Championships on May 13-16 at Chateau Elan Resort in Braselton, Ga.
In Friday's opening round, McDaniel posted a score of 311 to trail Muhlenberg by seven strokes. The Green Terror shaved three strokes off that advantage in Saturday's second 18, shooting a 302 compared the Mules' 305.
Counting a score no higher than 79 for the second straight day, McDaniel battled temperatures nearly 20 degrees cooler than the first two days of competition to outshoot Muhlenberg by 21 strokes on the day and win going away.
The Green Terror's three-round total of 917 set a new conference record for lowest three-round total. Muhlenberg finished with a score of 934 while Gettysburg and Franklin & Marshall were third (946) and fourth (947), respectively.
Meier, who shot a 79 on Friday to tie for 11th place overall, finished with a three-round total of 226 to become the fourth consecutive McDaniel golfer – and seventh overall – to win individual medalists honors, outdistancing Gettysburg's Tom Kefalas by three strokes.
Keyed by a round of 75 on Sunday, Gerry Butler (Berlin, Md./Stephen Decatur) also earned all-conference honors, carding a three-day total of 232. Butler turned in rounds of 78 and 79 on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
Paul Kovalcheck (Fairless Hills, Pa./Truman) and Zach LaVoie (Princeton, N.J./Pinedale) finished as part of three-way tie for sixth place, one stroke behind Butler. Kovalcheck fired an opening-round 74 before posting an 82 on Saturday and a 77 on Sunday. LaVoie, the defending CC medalist, followed up a first-round score of 80 with rounds of 75 and 78, respectively.
Taylor Massie (Southington, Conn./St. Paul Catholic) rounded out the McDaniel contingent, finishing 17th overall with a three-day total of 240. Massie posted a low round of 75 on Saturday between his rounds of 82 (Friday) and 83 (Sunday).
The first round of the Division III tournament tees off at 7:30 a.m. on May 13.
Team Scores: 1. McDaniel 917 (311-302-304), 2. Muhlenberg 634 (304-305-325), 3. Gettysburg 946 (314-320-312), 4. Franklin & Marshall 947 (320-312-315), 5. Dickinson 949 (319-316-314), 6. Ursinus 986 (333-339-314).
McDaniel Scores: 1. Steve Meier 226 (79-73-74), 5. Gerry Butler 232 (78-79-75), 6T. Zach LaVoie 233 (80-75-78), 8T. Paul Kovalcheck 233 (74-82-77), 17T. Taylor Massie 240 (82-75-83).

Egypt's Spirit Lands in Wisconsin - by Stephen Lendman
It landed, but it's too soon to know where it's going or how committed workers are to stay the course and spread it to other US states.
On February 16, however, former Senator Russ Feingold launched Progressives United.org (PU), an initiative he hopes will inspire "a new progressive movement" to hold elected officials accountable by challenging corporate influence in politics.
It also opposes the Supreme Court's January 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, sanctioning unlimited corporate spending in elections (the one dollar = one vote ruling by America's supremely pro-business court). Feingold called it:
"one of the most lawless decisions in the history of our country. The idea of allowing corporations to have unlimited influence on our democracy is very dangerous, obviously. That's exactly what it does. Things were like this 100 years ago....with the huge corporate and business power of the oil companies and others. But this time, it's like the Gilded Age on steroids."
According to Feingold, PU won't take soft money or unlimited contributions, saying:
"We're going to be reporting every dime that we get, whether required by law or not....It will be 100 percent accountable, and that is an important principle that I believe in that we'll follow to the T....as a way of contrasting it to what's going on with the corporate money" that buys politicians like toothpaste.
It remains to be seen whether Feingold will prove true to his word, if his agenda also challenges other major issues, including imperial lawlessness and growing homeland repression. Crucially also is whether it spreads, inspiring similar efforts across America.
American Courts, like Politicians, Support Power, not People
Previous articles discussed the High Court's anti-populist agenda under Chief Justice John Roberts, one of several accessed through the following link:
The tradition, however, way pre-dated him, notably articulated by John Jay, America's first chief justice, saying the country should be run by those who own it. Also in Marbury v. Madison (1803), establishing the principle of judicial supremacy, making the Court the final arbiter of what is or is not the law, a disturbing precedent subsequent courts abused repeatedly.
Besides trashing civil liberty protections, its Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad decision (1886) was perhaps its worst by granting corporations personhood under the 14th Amendment, with all accruing rights and privileges but none of the obligations. More than any other ruling, including Citizens United, it gave them unchecked powers to become the dominant institution of our time, able to control Congress, the Executive, and state and federal courts as well as act lawlessly against public welfare interests.
On Wisconsin
Milwaukee's Journal Sentinel (JS) covered the uprising from inception in response to Republican Governor Scott Walker, in office since January 3, waging war against public workers and their unions, aiming to legislate restrictions of their collective bargaining rights to wage negotiations only.
He also wants state employees to double their health insurance and pension contributions, effectively enacting a 7% haircut if passed. In addition, he demands future pay raises not exceed annual Consumer Price Index increases, an index rigged to mask inflation's real toll, including for rent, medical care, food, energy, and other everyday household essentials.
On February 16, JS headlines included:
-- "Crowds growing at the Capitol," citing their numbers, intensity and anger, shouting "kill the bill," and waving placards reading "only the little people pay taxes." They filled the rotunda as Joint Finance Committee members prepared to vote to strip workers of hard won rights they're struggling hard to preserve.
-- "Madison West students walk out," hundreds emptying classrooms to protest school curriculum changes to save money and sabotage their educations.
-- "State's battle lines: Are state union workers beyond belief?" saying politicians follow a long tradition, serving power, not popular interests;
-- "Union chief asks MPS (Milwaukee Public Schools) to close schools Thursday," many teachers joining protesters.
-- "State workers rally at UWM (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)" against proposed cuts in wages, benefits and union rights.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) supports Democrats in congressional elections. Its web site - http://boldprogressives.org/home - urged members to:
"Call your state senator: Vote NO on Walker's radical proposal" and against his threat to use National Guard troops against state residents.
In an email to 13,000 Wisconsin members, it said:
"The idea that a governor can use the military to impose his personal, political will on the people he governs is a primitive relic of the past - one that resulted in a century of bloodshed in this country."
Howard Zinn wrote poignantly about the 1913-14 Ludlow, Colorado coal strike and subsequent massacre, killing 75 or more strikers, strike breakers, and bystanders for defying what he called "feudal kingdoms run by (coal barons that) made the laws," imposed curfews, and ran their operations more like despots than businessmen.
In 1968, force was last used against US workers during Memphis' sanitation strike, days before Martin Luther King's assassination, there to support them.
The last time in Wisconsin was in 1886, days after Chicago's Haymarket massacre killing police and striking workers, when state militia forces fired on striking Milwaukee steel workers, killing seven.
Citizen Action of Wisconsin (CAW) also condemned Walker's threat, its February 14 press release calling it "shockingly extreme, without modern precedent, and an attempt to coerce public workers," violating their First Amendment rights.
CAW's executive director, Robert Kraig, said:
"It is hard to ascribe any motive other than the coercion of public employees to deter them from exercising their Constitutional right to speak out and protest against unjust government actions. It is a classic union busting tactic to use the threat of dire consequences, and even violence, to deter legitimate protest and speech."
To enlist support, CAW launched a new web site, accessed through the following link:
On February 16, New York Times writers Monica Davey and Steven Greenhouse, reporting from Madison, headlined, "Angry Demonstrations in Wisconsin as Cuts Loom," saying:
Defying Walker's threats, "protesters, scores deep, crushed into a corridor leading to (his) office here on Wednesday, their screams echoing through the Capitol: 'Come out, come out, wherever you are!' "
Behind closed doors, Walker issued a press release saying:
If he declares a state of emergency, his "bill authorizes appointing authorities to terminate any employees that are absent for three days without approval of the employer or any employees that participate in an organized action to stop or slow work."
In a separate statement, he added: "We didn't get elected to worry about the politics. For us, it's simple. We're broke," but his solution follows Washington's, making workers pay for Wall Street crimes and corporate enrichment, leaving them free to keep pillaging.
Stanford University's Professor William Gould, a former National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) chairman, said:
"I'm sure we're going to hear more from other states where Republican governors are trying to heap the entire burden of the financial crisis on public employees and (their) unions. I think it's quite possible that if they're successful in doing this, a lot of other Republican governors will emulate" them.
In fact, Gould omitted saying Democrats are as ruthless as Republicans, including Obama and governors in dozens of states - slashing budgets, cutting workforces, and eliminating or reducing benefits since 2008, a process so far with no end in sight on the backs of ordinary workers least able to cope.
In Wisconsin, they, their supporters, and unions leaders are responding, occupying the Capitol, distributing fliers, planning vigils and "teach-outs," including over a dozen unions pledging millions of dollars, phone banks, and volunteers to fight back there and elsewhere.
According to Kim Anderson, National Education Association (NEA) head of government relations:
"We view the events in Wisconsin as one of the worst attacks on workers' rights and their voices in the workplace that we've ever seen."
University of Wisconsin's Kevin Gibbons, heading its teaching assistants union, said:
"I think Governor Walker is using this financial crisis as an excuse to attack unions, and if Wisconsin goes, what will be next?"
Already tensions in other states are growing, perhaps heading for the boil. In Ohio, public workers protested outside the Columbus Statehouse against legislation eliminating collective bargaining rights for thousands, restricting them for many others if Senate Bill 5 (SB5) passes. In Indianapolis, teachers rallied against a similar bill, and in Nashville, Tennessee, a legislative committee is considering its own.
Wisconsin's Republican majority will vote on Walker's plan by week's end. Except for possible amendments, passage seems assured unless protester thousands grow to tens of thousands, shut down the state like in Egypt, and stay the course by remaining resolute against injustice they won't tolerate.
Public sector unions called the protests, including the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), National Education Association (NEA), and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), among others. Students and private sector workers participated.
These same unions and others, however, endorse Obama's new austerity budget, and backed his Race to the Top assault on public education. They also supported other measures barring government worker strikes. In Wisconsin, they're concerned about a bill provision banning automatic dues check-offs that if enacted affects millions of dollars in union revenues.
Workers have more pressing concerns - job security, a living wage, vital benefits, including health care and pensions, and unions backing them against federal, state and local governments wanting their rights weakened or stripped.
A University of Wisconsin teaching assistant perhaps spoke for others, comparing state developments to ongoing Middle East uprisings, saying, "When the government stops listening to us, that's when it becomes like Egypt."
It will have to far exceed replicating it, however, to halt America's race to the bottom, harming workers relentlessly to enrich bosses, wanting maximum wealth and power at the expense of rank and file workforces treated like serfs, a malignancy spreading everywhere unless stopped.
On Wisconsin for class struggles too important to lose.

Hey kidz!!! Spirit of Egypt lands in Wisconsin . . .
. . . by way of the "Real Time With Bill Maher" show??? . . . ;-)
(clipped headline and article from The Intel Hub)
"WeAreChange LA Interrupts Bill Maher Again - Jeremy Rothe-Kushel of WeAreChangeLA was just beaten and arrested for interrupting a live broadcast of the Real Time with Bill Maher television show. Video from the live broadcast clearly shows Jeremy screaming 'That's Battery! If you ask me to leave, I will leave on my own accord' There is no reason for his assault and illegal arrest."
(full story)
Here is the exchange:
(link to video - approx. 2 minutes)
"WeAreChange LA interrupts Bill Maher again"
Be sure to check out the expression on Zionist Bill "None Shall Speak 9-11 Blasphemy" Maher's face at 0:42, kidz . . .
For someone that has such obvious pride in their intellect, why has Bill Maher . . . like Jon Stewart of the Daily Show . .. been so consistently intransigent on every aspect of 9-11 Truth???
Flashback to October 19, 2007, kidz . ..
(link to video - approx. 5 minutes)
"Bill Maher Throws Out 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists On Live TV"
Notice at 2:00:
Woman in audience: "What about Building 7?"
Bill Maher: "I'll kick your ass out of here, too"
Notice at 4:20:
Bill Maher: "Don't be gentle with them. Ass kicking is what is called for."
What was that line from George Orwell?
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
- George Orwell
Interesting that the two things that Neo-Libs Bill Maher and Jon Stewart have in common with Neo-Cons David Horowitz and Alan Dershowitz are:
1- They all have ZERO TOLERANCE for 9-11 TRUTH . . .
2- They all love to bash folks like President Jimmy Carter, U.S. Congressman Ron Paul and journalist Helen Thomas by calling them "anti-Semites" . . . and worse . . . ;-)
Why are these Neo-Lib and Neo-Con Zionists so afraid of 9-11 TRUTH???
Well, if this recent event in Los Angeles is any indicator, they may soon be face with more and more of their audiences demanding TRUTH!!!
(clipped headline and article from A&E For 9-11 Truth)
"Los Angeles Conscious Life Expo Gets 9/11 Wake-Up Call - AE911Truth was the featured speaker on a 9/11 Panel at the Los Angeles Conscious Life Expo on February 12. . . . The promoters of this event wanted an opportunity for attendees to hear about the 9/11 evidence – and they got it."
(full story)
Just look at these statistics from this expo, kidz:
(clipped text from above A&E For 9-11 Truth article)
"Richard Gage, AIA, Architect spoke first for 45 minutes and laid out all the evidence for this unusual AE911Truth audience of 356 – a much larger group than expected.
Before the presentation 25 people agreed with the official conspiracy theory (OCT) of how the WTC Twin Towers came down and 43 were 'unsure'. The remainder agreed with the evidence for the explosive demolition of the towers.
After the multimedia presentation only one person believed the OCT and nine were 'unsure'. The evidence continues to awaken people."
(end clipped text)
This ol' fool thinks that it is this "awakened" populous that these Zionist "tricksters" fear . . .
Like our brothers and sisters in Wisconsin (and Ohio) that are "awaking" to the FACT that these Globalist Zionist Banksters have deliberately created this "Debt Slavery" financial mess we are all in . . .
. . . and are pushing back as the Banksters try to rob them of their life's work . . . and even their RIGHTS to have a say in the matter . . . by "Walking Like Egyptians" . . . ;-)
(clipped headline and article from Sense on Cents)

It is amazing to this ol' fool from North Cackilacki how the 2006 words of the late great Aaron Russo have turned out to be so prophetic and spot on. . .

America: Freedom to Fascism - Director's Authorized Version
Now, remember what Iceland did when THE PEOPLE realized what had been done to them by these Globalist Banksters money rackets . . .
Now, imagine all those tens of thousands of PEOPLE in Wisconsin and Ohio and (???). . . having that same economic "awakening" . . .
. . . coupled with a TRUTH VIRAL "awakening" about the BIG LIE of 9-11???
Now, imagine 300 MILLION AMERICANS . . . fully "awake" . . .
. . Walking Like Egyptians????
I wonder if Neo-Lib Zionist Bill "None Shall Speak 9-11 Blasphemy" Maher will someday regret his infamous words, "Don't be gentle with them. Ass kicking is what is called for."??? . . . ;-)

To date, little is known about the prevalence, genotypes and zoonotic potential of Cryptosporidium spp. affecting horses, especially in North America. A cross-sectional study was conducted in New York, USA between February 25th and May 1st 2009. Fecal samples were collected from three hundred and forty nine 1-10-week-old foals and their dams on 14 different broodmare farms. All fecal samples were screened for Cryptosporidium spp. using a direct immunofluorescence assay (DFA). DNA extraction and PCR-RFLP analysis of the small-subunit (SSU) rRNA gene were performed on all the foal samples. PCR-positive samples were subtyped by DNA sequencing of the 60-kDa glycoprotein (gp60) gene. On DFA, 13/175 (7.4%) foal samples and 3/174 (1.7%) mare samples were designated positive for Cryptosporidium spp., whereas on SSU rRNA-based PCR, 9/175 (5.1%) foal samples were positive. Cryptosporidium PCR-positive foals were significantly older (13-40 days, median age of 28 days) compared with negative foals (4-67 days, median 18 days, p=0.02). The number of foals with diarrhea or soft feces was not significantly different between positive and negative foals (p=0.09). PCR-RFLP analysis of the SSU rRNA gene and DNA sequencing of the gp60 gene identified the parasite as subtype VIaA14G2 of the horse genotype. This is the first report of a group of foals affected with the Cryptosporidium horse genotype, which has recently been detected in humans. As other contemporary molecular studies have identified C. parvum in foals, it seems that equine cryptosporidiosis should be considered a zoonosis.

The Egyptian military council promotes sectarian strife and massacres protestors
north africa | repression / prisoners | feature Thursday October 13, 2011 21:25 by Tamer Mowafy & José Antonio Gutiérrez D.
Last week, a salafist gang was allowed to burn and loot a church in Aswan province for five hours, together with the houses of some Christians. In response, Christians in Cairo, joined by many Muslims, came out to peacefully stage a vigil outside the State TV. The official response was brutal: armoured trucks ran over people wantonly while live ammunition was shot at protestors.The army forcefully shut down TV25 and Al-Hurra for showing live footage of the Maspero street riots, which were moving towards Tahrir. The response of the people, Muslim or Christian, was strong and defiant: they bravely fought with stones and petrol bombs the fury of 1,000 soldiers armed to the teeth (plus their salafist thugs). Instead of falling into the trap of letting the conflict slip into sectarian war, they chanted "Muslims and Christians are one" and "Down with the Field Marshal", in a reference to Tantawi. The result of yesterday's (October 9th) fight was terrible: at least 25 human beings were massacred in cold blood by the SCAF, and over 270 were seriously wounded.

Stony Brooks Vanderka Tosses a No-Hitter to Earn Pitcher of the Week
Related Links
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Stony Brook junior pitcher Franke Vanderka threw a no-hitter to earn America East Pitcher of the Week honors, while teammate Austin Shives was named Rookie of the Week and Binghamton's Jordon Smucker earned Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.
Vanderka (Levittown, N.Y.) tossed a no-hitter in the Seawolves' 2-0 win over Fordham, going nine innings, striking out six batters and walking only three (one intentionally). It was the second no-hitter of Vanderka's career, as he also threw one as a freshman at NJIT in 2011. The game was scheduled as a seven-inning game, but went into extra innings as the two teams were scoreless. The Seawolves scored twice in the top of the ninth and Vanderka set the Rams' 2-3-4 hitters down in order in the ninth to secure the no-hitter and the win.
Shives (San Diego, Calif.) was named Rookie of the Week after hitting .417 in four games last week, second-best on the team and fifth-best in the conference, while driving in two runs, both coming in Stony Brook's 5-1 win over Iona on March 5. He followed that performance with a three-hit game at Fordham, the first three-hit game of his young career. In the first game of Saturday's doubleheader, he hit his first career double. He registered hits in three of Stony Brook's four games, finishing with a .462 on-base percentage and a .500 slugging percentage.
Smucker (Bird-in-Hand, Pa.) helped Binghamton to a four-game series sweep at North Carolina A&T, racking up a conference-best eight RBI last week. Smucker finished with a .312 batting average, five runs score, two doubles, one home run and two walks. Smucker had a .389 on-base percentage, and a .625 slugging percentage which was the second-best in the conference last week. He had multi-RBI performances in three of the four games, including driving in three in each of the first two. He also had a three-hit game in the series finale, scoring three runs and driving in two more.

STEVE TIGNOR: We haven't talked here in a couple of months, Kamakshi, and obviously a lot has happened in that time. There's always such a long build-up to the French Open and Wimbledon, and then they're over in a flash. For months we say, well, wait until the French, wait until the Slams, then we'll see who's really playing well, then we'll get the meaningful matches. This year, on the men's side, the majors threw us a curve before taking us right back where we had been for the first five months of the year. By the time it was over, Novak Djokovic had legitimated his early season run, and showed that his confidence and overall excellence weren't just a product of his momentum during that time—he showed he could get them right back once that momentum had been stopped. I picked him to lose to Nadal in pretty much every tournament leading up to and including Wimbledon, and he proved me wrong every time. I'll go out on a limb: I think he's here to stay.
I guess the question, though, is how long will his stay be. Is he going to be roughly what Nadal has been to Federer, the guy who has his number, who's ready to succeed him? Or, as Nadal said after Wimbledon, is this just as seasonal thing, and is Djokovic's level bound to drop?
I'd take the second of those two options. First, Federer did just beat Djokovic in Paris, so he isn't out of the picture. Second, Nadal at 25 is too young to suddenly begin his decline. And tennis, despite its lack of a definable year, really has worked in single seasons lately. In 2008, it seemed that Nadal had overtaken Federer; the next year Federer was back at No. 1. Last season it looked again like Nadal, with three Slam wins, was ready to grab the baton for good. But again he's slipped a little.
Djokovic says he's "lost his fear," but as Nadal knows, it doesn't take long to get scared again—he was the two-time champ at Wimbledon and Novak was the rookie, but it was Nadal who was nervous.
Then again, I've been betting on Nole's level dropping all year so far, and look where that's gotten me.
KAMAKSHI TANDON: From Federer-Nadal at the French to Nadal-Djokovic at Wimbledon—quite symbolic, really. Like you, Djokovic points to his rebound from the Federer defeat at the French as the most significant achievement during this period. The timing of the defeat was very tough, costing him a significant achievement or two, and it upped the stakes at Wimbledon. He came into this period in a bit of a can't-win position—the more he achieved, the more the pressure to back it up by doing it at a Slam. If he hadn't won Wimbledon or the French, people would be asking where it all went wrong.
At the same time, losing wasn't all bad. It removed the burden of the streak and reset things a bit. It's easy to forget that Djokovic looked a little vulnerable at various stages at Wimbledon, like against Marcos Baghdatis or Bernard Tomic. The fact that the Serb was able to shake that off and carry on and win signals that he can do it when it's business as usual, not just in those rare periods when everything comes together.
That's what separates the dominant from the merely dangerous, and makes it look like he's here to stay. Of course, he's been "here" for a while now, always sneaking in periods of success in between Federer and Nadal's dominant patches, so it's only the 'to stay' part that's new. It implies that his current level will be his normal level from now on—and that's what we're debating. Will it?
On the one hand, I don't think you go back to being a run-of-the-mill player after doing what Djokovic has done. On the other, as Nadal pointed out, everyone has highs and lows. He's right, of course. Nadal never loses perspective, except maybe when he's complaining about the schedule. The hardcourt Masters events will be interesting because they'll come after the first real break Djokovic will have had since the beginning of the season—the first real chance to decompress, let things sink in, and then try to get pumped up to go again.
The second question is how Nadal responds. For the first time, he finds himself getting thumped repeatedly by another player—at the French, Uncle Toni said Nadal had never lost to someone four times in a row, and it's now five. But at the same time, he hasn't been playing as well as he did a year ago, when all the wins and confidence made him look almost untouchable by the second week of the U.S. Open. Can he get back to that level fuelled by defeat rather than victory? Another thing to wait and see.
TIGNOR: I think we can count on Djokovic's consistency to keep him up there and in constant contention. His game itself has never been all that up and down; it was always his confidence level, as well as his conditioning, that suffered from swings. He doesn't win with risk; he wins because he doesn't have any easily exploitable weaknesses, so it may now be to his opponents to find a solution to him. And yes, coming right back after the Federer loss in Paris should help him recover from any big losses in the near future. Djokovic has to feel now that he really does belong at No. 1; that was something he hadn't seemed sure of since he failed to crack the Rafa-Rog duopoly back in 2008.
Or something like that. As you said, we'll have to wait and see. Two other thoughts come up in relation to this. The first is that I keep waiting for the top guys—formerly Rafa and Fed, this year Rafa and Djokovic—to crack just a little. To lose in, say, a quarterfinal of a major, or go out early at a Masters event. I guess I'm still living in the past, when Sampras and Agassi and Becker and guys like that occasionally took an early whipping, when you were happy to see them play twice a year, let alone the five times that Nadal and Djokovic have already faced off in 2011. That's another question to me for the future: How long can this type of top-line dominance last? I think it's been great for men's tennis, but will it ever get old?
My second question is about Djokovic himself. Do we think he has the star quality, the ability to inspire such passionate fan groups, as Rafa and Federer have? Or will he be more of a representative of his own country? It's hard to imagine him becoming deified, à la Federer—"Djokovic as Religious Experience," anyone?—but being No. 1 does things to people's perceptions of you.
TANDON: More than most, Djokovic's play has been influenced by his emotional state. In the past he's gone through unsure periods where he plays passively and gets beaten. That may be what doesn't return, at least for a while. On the other hand, his game does look risky to me when he's playing like he wants to—all those shots that right now land perfectly placed in the corners, but wobble when he's off. That will remain a danger in the high pressure matches, I think, and it'll be especially interesting when he plays Federer again, or someone threatening like Juan Martin del Potro.
The one matchup we haven't seen for a while is Djokovic and Murray, so perhaps we can get reacquainted with that during a part of the season they both like a lot.
The dominance of the top guys is just astonishing. Are they really so good that they can win on their bad days as well as good, or do they just have so few bad days? It's hard to categorize it into one or the other; I've seen evidence of both. And it's not just the top guys—the men's game has been pretty heirarchical for the past few years. You know I don't like the phrase "it's good for tennis," but it certainly allows for big matchups on the big occasions, even if it means the early rounds seem a bit rote.
What it has done for Djokovic, though, is give him instant chops as No. 1. I mean, he had to go through both Federer and Nadal to get there. Two Grand Slams, four Masters, 43 straight wins. Since Nadal won his first Slam, there have been only four occasions when the winner wasn't Federer or Nadal, and three of those four times it's been Djokovic. He's done it the hard way, and just overhauling those two gives him status it would otherwise take much longer to achieve. I don't think he's got quite the cult potential of Federer and Nadal, but he's much more of a showman and much more willing to play around in public. Look, he ate the grass after winning Wimbledon. The morning after he won, he did the usual round of interviews—running an hour late, as usual, though apparently this time is wasn't his fault—and went from being emotive one second to tossing out one-liners the next. It's a different feel. Do you think people will like having a fresh focus, or look back for their familiar figureheads?
TIGNOR: Nadal talked about possible reasons for the unprecedented dominance in men's tennis at Wimbledon. He seemed to think this was a stronger generation than past ones because each of the top guys felt the pressure to always perform at their best, to maintain their spot in the "top positions." They know they can't afford to give away a match at an important tournament. I guess you could say that Federer's dominance inspired Nadal, and their co-dominance has now inspired Djokovic. He said something to that effect at Wimbledon; the ultimate proof is that, as you said, it took 43 straight wins, two Slams, and four Masters titles to get him there. If I had to choose between this type of regularity in the finals of big tournaments, and something more random, I think I would take this. It's not the same as Chris and Martina, who played 17 straight Slams finals; that would have been OK if Martina hadn't been so dominant in those matches. Rog, Rafa, and Novak have still given us a certain amount of variety and unpredictability within their hegemony.
As far as Le Djoker's star potential, I think it's there. He's certainly not a duller character than Rafa or Fed, and I love his game as much as those two guys'. It isn't as immediately unique or eye-catching, but he makes versatility, consistency, and defense into a snappy tennis cocktail—a cocktail with a slightly acquired taste. Along the way, his personality has grown as well. Where he used to seem brash for his britches, he's now the tour's leading gentleman—winning helps your graciousness quotient, too. The big upward shift will happen if he becomes a dominant champion; that gives you an automatic star aura.
I mentioned Chris and Martina above, which reminds me that we haven't talked about the women at all yet. What did you make of the French and Wimbledon, and their effect on that perennial trouble spot, "the state of the WTA"? This is always a two-headed question for me. On the one hand, I saw many tweets from fellow writers and fans and tennis junkies about how great the two events were for the women. And for the most part I agreed. Some superb matches—Schiavone-Jankovic, Schiavone-Pavlyuchenkova, Sharapova-Garcia in Paris, Date Krumm-Venus, Bartoli-Serena, Lisicki-Li at Wimbledon (I'm sure I'm forgetting a few)—and two new faces in the winner's circle, in Kvitova and Li, made them compelling in a much less predictable way than the men's tournaments. I personally don't mind not having name players in the latter stages of these tournaments; I'm just as happy to see other players get their shot at glory, and see how they react to it. There's been a joy in discovery at these last two women's tournaments.
Then there's the other hand, which I encounter when I leave Twitter and go to my tennis club. There nobody knows an Azarenka from a Pironkova from a Kvitova; they say the women all look the same and play the same way. I disagree, but I still don't like hearing that. I want to see new faces, but at the same time, without stars and familiar stories, the tour can start to take on a minor-league vibe, especially when compared to the men's side, with its huge celebrities (of course, this is an American talking; you can't say Li's win didn't draw an audience). So anyway, as always, I'm torn when it comes to tennis. I like it enough to enjoy watching whomever is winning, but at the same time I don't want to feel as if it's a tiny niche sport with ever-declining mass appeal.
TANDON: There are probably a few layers to it. The increased uniformity creates the conditions for heirarchy—a more uniform calendar, more uniform surfaces and more uniform playing styles. It makes sense: you're better on X surface playing X way against X players and that's what you face most of the year, then you're going to win most of the time.
But on the other hand, this is exactly the same scenario that seems to have created utter anarchy on the women's side, so maybe the top guys are just that much better than the rest. It's a cycle, too, with periods of anarchy and heirarchy, change and continuity. Right now we've got two extremes.
In the end, I like having both fields there because you get a bit of both—no need to decide what you prefer. The best combination—look for the tight women's matches early, and then gear up for the big men's matches in the later rounds.
And things change. As I keep saying, at the end of the 1990s it was the exact opposite—great men's early-round matchups, big women's showdowns later. We tend to separate the men and women, but people experience everyone together and having both sides brings variety and balance. The good thing about dominance at the top is that it's simple, accessible, large-scale—lots of mass appeal. That's what you have with the men right now. The state of competition on the women's side is too complicated at the moment and requires too much time, investment and knowledge to really understand; it's hard to get mass appeal from that. But if you're really into it, there's a lot more to chew on. I certainly find a lot more intrigue when first scanning the women's draws than the men's these days. So you take your pick depending on who you are. The men for your tennis club, the women for your Twitter group.
The big win for the women this year, I think, is that we're starting to regularly experience good matches again. The problem for a while was that there would be all these great matchups that almost invariably fizzled, but now you're seeing a lot of exciting contests, at least in the early rounds. Almost all the Centre Court matches at Wimbledon went three sets, for example. The next big step is doing that in the later stages. It's been a long time since there was a real classic in the semifinals or finals. There are a whole parade of players—Kvitova, Li, Schiavone, Wozniacki, and so many more—but they need to stick around to stick in people's minds like Clijsters, Serena, Venus, Sharapova do, and had to do to get there.
It's about familiarity and legitmacy, and both are achieved by memorable victories against memorable opponents. Federer got to the top of the mountain, Nadal scaled him and then Djokovic did the same to Nadal. The stars make the matches, but first, it's the matches that make them stars.

HIGHLY recommend Dymatize ISO-100 protein. It's a hydrolyzed whey protein that absorbs in the muscle faster than standard whey protein for better recovery after your workouts that allow for your muscles to grow more complete after lifting.

Especially coming from a Pacers fan (who has had a multiple string of defeats against LeBron in the playoffs), the Hawks/Wizards lack what they Pacers never had, a Superstar. No team in the East will rise over LeBron and the Cavs until a Superstar arrives to the East.

help pleaseeeeeeeee i just got an 95 325i convert and everytime i go to take off i hear a banging sound from the rear like if its going to fall off so i cant take off fast it feels like no power in the engine but when i do about 60 mph it sounds ok the guy that sold it for me said it was the differential and i dont know what it is my self .but like i said when i take off its like a loud banging sound then it catches i know the trans is shot cause it goes in to reverse slow like if its standerd lol but its auto. can any body help me pleaseeeeeeee much thanks my fellow bimmer heads.:thumbup:
Since you've been a member here awhile, it is safe to assume that you ruled out each of the sounds described in detail in the "Sounds from the rear: Explained" sticky right?
ed, you so silly.
those stickies arent there to read :tsk:
Now have you jacked the car up and taken a look as to if anything even remotely looks wrong?
and if your answer is "I dont know what i would be looking at"
then you may as well bring it to a mechanic since this is what will end up happening anyways.

I'm not a english major...Please forgive me . You absolutely "Can" replace Universal joints. e36 joints From the U joint store or Ebay .. E36. 430-11 is the size for my 98- 323is and 97- 328ic. The trick is tools . Burn the ujoints out with a torch .. alittle at a time (dont go crazy with the heat.) Press them out(normally. )That will leave you with the staked burrs. circle file them down .(Burrs) Emery cloth smooth. (Lightly) press them in. they will need to be centered in . This is where it sounds crazy but works perfect ,get $2.00 in quarters (Not silver) Press those into the yoke ends .(It will center them perfectly). Put a tack weld on outer ear of the yoke , leting the weld puddle down to the quarter.(On the thickest part of the circle)inner ear. Bmw shaft is balanced put marks everywhere so the shaft goes back exactly as it wwas . the front shaft also is splined exactly so put it back exactly on the same slpine . It Works !

Diff bolt or bushings
Sent from my ADR6400L using Bimmer App
hey fender bender you say its the diff bolt or bushings cause like i said when i take off in sounds like the rear end bounces one guy said its the diff bushings but i dont know but htanks for the info cuz.
Most of the time that's the issue. Put it up in the air and see if you can move the diff by hand. If not, leave it in the air and have a buddy "drive" it while you look to see what's moving.
thanks fenderbender ill try that thanks cuz and bimmer club around pa that you know of cause de aint got any lol
Nah no clubs around me, I wish there were!
Sent from my ADR6400L using Bimmer App
thanks fenderbender we got to start a club then lol
[QUOTE=FenderBender;7091956]Diff bolt or bushings
This ^^ I've already dealt with this a few weeks back and a couple of months ago as well. It can be your diff bolts, mine was the front one (snapped in half and was a pain to remove) it can also be your center support bearing (when this goes bad it makes the driveshaft bang underneath the car) and if you don't fix it will do major damage like mine did (completely destroyed my trans output flange and driveshaft bearing)...lift up your car and inspect underneath ASAP!
noise in rear over 30mph
Hello I. Have this bmw318i its 1998 manual trans just changed center support bearing was shot but noise still present its like "wow wow wow" whence over 30 mph. Turns do not affect noise there is no clunking sound when taking off everything whitout play help what is it?
Did you align the driveshaft the way it was prior to removing? If you changed the csb and didn't align it the way it was it is not balanced correctly. Also check your flex disk, it sits on the trans output flange. It gets worn out and cracked after years of driving. If there are cracks on it it will start tearing apart.

Over the last ten months, equity volatility has flared up several times, suggesting greater opportunities for active management.
Volatility often sets the stage for stock picking and sector rotation as prices disconnect from fundamentals and market leadership changes. Yet many managers have struggled in this more unpredictable environment, especially during the tumultuous first quarter of this year. While the success of active management should be assessed over the longer term, it's worth exploring what the events of this period can teach us about the challenges of twenty-first century equity investing, and how different styles of active management can meet them.
In order to navigate this environment, we believe that active managers need to utilise both new analytical tools and
time-tested research methods.
Most notable among the new tools are those based on data science and risk analysis. Used in support of quantitative strategies, tools such as machine reading and natural language processing can help fund managers analyse previously unimaginable quantities of information that may help shed light on short- and medium-term market movements and the transient factors that drive them.
For example, in the first quarter of the year, Italian equities meaningfully underperformed many of their European counterparts. While Italy certainly faces some real structural challenges, including sub-par growth, a high debt-to-GDP ratio, and an ailing banking sector, we also see reasons for some cautious optimism. Our algorithms for machine-reading conference calls have seen rising sentiment from CEOs and CFOs regarding Italy, and our analysis of Internet search data reveals that Italian consumers are increasingly searching for big-ticket items. See the charts below. Taken together, these two analyses lead us to believe that, despite Italy's problems, the market may be overstating the bear case.

The use of new tools and new forms of analysis is not limited to quantitative managers. On the fundamental side, more robust risk models can help managers to reduce volatility in the short term, while staying focused on the long-term drivers of return. In both cases, they are a means of amplifying human intelligence, not replacing it.
As markets continue to adjust to an environment in which macroeconomic policy no longer lifts all boats, investors may have a difficult time generating the type of equity returns they need from beta exposures. With the return outlook for fixed income looking even more challenging than the outlook for equities, it will be increasingly critical for investors to maximise returns in the equity portion of their portfolios. We think that one of the ways to accomplish this is to take an active approach that is underpinned by innovative research.

Add some thwip to your ride with these eye-catching Spider-Man motorcycle helmets by DONY Custom. The design makes sense given the shape and pattern of Spidey's costume, and I'm amazed they haven't been officially licensed before. The seller uses HJC brand helmets for the base and airbrushes the designs on. You can choose from the classic red or a bright blue or black—and if you'd rather go darker, they have a wicked Venom design. They're all gorgeous.

'"It stings because … it's another loss," Sabres co-captain Steve Ott said. "We're in the business of winning and production. There are some bright spots. We finally outshot a team 23-20 and held them to 20 shots, which is outstanding. We come out on the losing end, lack of production from all of us, including myself. At the end of the day, losing's just not the option."'
