In such a Hobbesian world, grand idealistic designs will avail the United States nothing. Nor will a quest for American dominance in the name of the good. —Laura Secor, New York Times Book Review, 26 June 2005
Soon middle-class girls were slipping into their starched white shirtwaists, marching into a place of business … and eventually standing up as private secretaries, bank tellers, accountants, and managers. So many, in fact, availed themselves of this new opportunity that by 1900 nearly 75 percent of all clerical workers in America were women (Bliven puts the number, in 1888, at 60,000); and for decades the typist and her machine were both called "typewriters." —Arthur Krystal, Harper's, December 2002
One comes away from the book stunned by the remarkable energy and willingness to resist that so many demonstrated but haunted by the recognition of how little that resistance availed. —Louis Menand, New Yorker, 25 Nov. 2002

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Now that we know the Texans will be traveling to Foxboro next Sunday to face the Patriots in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, let's take a look at the two remaining Wild Card Round teams in the AFC.
If the winner of Sunday's Colts-Ravens game beats the Broncos next week, they would be playing an AFC Championship Game in Houston or New England. So, let's take a look at the other competition:
Why they could beat the Patriots: Of the AFC playoff teams, Baltimore is the only one that has already beat the Patriots this year, 31-30 in week 3. Moreover, the Ravens have given the Pats fits in each of their last two postseason meetings. They ran all over a young Patriots defense in a 33-14 wild-card win in 2009, and they were a field goal away from forcing overtime in last year's AFC Title Game.
This year they won the AFC North despite firing offensive coordinator Cam Cameron last month. Running back Ray Rice (1,143 yards, 9 TDs) will be making his third Pro Bowl appearance, where fullback Vonta Leach and right guard Marshal Yanda will start for the AFC team. The always-fearful defense has produced two Pro Bowlers this year: defensive end Haloti Ngata (51 tackles, 5 sacks) and veteran free safety Ed Reed, still going strong at age 34 with 58 tackles and 4 interceptions this season. Also making the trip to Honolulu will be wide receiver Jacoby Jones, as the AFC's kick returner.
As far as intangibles go, few things can beat the return of linebacker Ray Lewis, who racked up 57 tackles in just six games before undergoing surgery on his torn triceps after a week 6 win over the Cowboys. If his recovery didn't provide motivation enough Lewis, who was activated ahead of the playoffs, announced on Wednesday that he will put an end to his Hall of Fame career when the Ravens' season comes to a close, after 17 years in the NFL.
Why they probably won't: The Ravens are plagued by some of the same issues as the Texans: they lost four of their last five games and were 2-4 against playoff teams this year. If they face the Patriots, they will find themselves up against a much better team than the one they beat in week 3, the last game with the replacement officials, on a dubious last-second field goal.
But Baltimore has more general problems as well: the firing of Cameron cannot mask the fact that the Ravens have the worst quarterback of all the AFC playoff teams. Joe Flacco's numbers don't lie: 3,817 yards, 22 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and an 87.7 passer rating are not the stats of an elite QB. The team has long relied on the running game, but the truth is that Rice, despite his Pro Bowl selection, had fewer yards this year than five AFC RBs, including the Patriots' Stevan Ridley.
More worrisome is the state of the defense, long the cornerstone of Baltimore's success. This year, the Ravens' D ranked just 17th in yards allowed, nowhere near good enough to stop New England's high-powered offense. While Lewis's return will no doubt provide a boost, the Ravens are going to need that boost to be more than just emotional. Saturday's game against the Colts will go a long way to revealing whether the 37-year-old can contribute in a significant way after nearly three months of inactivity.
Why they could beat the Patriots: The Colts have been the NFL's feel-good story of the year. After cleaning house following last year's dismal 2-14 season, which saw the general manager and the head coach fired and longtime quarterback Peyton Manning released, they turned things around in a bigger way than anyone could have imagined, going 11-5 despite being largely coached by OC Bruce Arians while coach Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia.
New QB Andrew Luck set a rookie record with 4,374 passing yards, often teaming up with Manning's erstwhile favorite target, Reggie Wayne, who had 106 receptions (his fourth season with more than 100) for 1,355 yards and 5 TDs. The defense also got a boost from a veteran, linebacker Robert Mathis, who will be making his fifth Pro Bowl appearance after an eight-sack season which saw him record his first career interception.
Indianapolis had a winning record of 3-2 versus playoff teams and a spectacular collection of comeback wins, showing a grit rarely seen in such young teams. After starting the season 2-3, the Colts won 9 of their last 11 games, and Luck, in the conversation for Rookie of the Year, hasn't thrown an interception since week 14.
Why they probably won't: For all of Luck's heroics, his numbers are far from spectacular: 23 TDs, 18 INTs and a passer rating of just 76.5. Moreover, he has especially struggled on the road, where he has 11 TDs and 13 INTs; four of the Colts' five losses came away from Lucas Oil Stadium.
The last time they paid a visit to the Patriots, in week 11, the Colts were crushed 59-24, a game in which Luck accounted for four turnovers. Those are the most points the Indianapolis D has given up this year, and in fact they've only allowed more than 30 four times. But they ranked 26th in yards allowed, right behind New England, which bodes ill for any team trying to slow Brady. In Foxborough, in January, it's hard to envision Luck and company upsetting Bill Belichick's crew.

In a terrible economy, it is high time that the I Was Broke. Now I'm Not. team deliver ways to save money! This five part series will share the top five ways that we see people saving lots of money.
I believe that if you apply these five items, you will save over $1,000 a year. Don't believe me? Try them out!
Part Four On-Line Savings Accounts
Do you have money in your savings account? If not, it should by your TOP PRIORITY. $1,000 as a minimum or $2,500 if you have kids or a house. I repeat – this should be your TOP PRIORITY!
For those with money in savings, how much interest is your bank paying you? If it is a local bank, it is likely that the interest rate is very, very, very low (close to 0%). On-line banks pay much higher interest because they do not have to pay the costs of maintaining local branches (people, buildings, etc). These on-line banks pay around 5X – 8X the national savings interest rates of other banks. I hold all of my savings in on-line banks and have done so for over two years now. They are FDIC-insured and are very easy to use.
There are several excellent on-line banks. Click HERE to see the on-line banks I use or recommend.
The bottom line is that your money should make you money – the most money possible. My on-line banks allow me to do that for all money that I plan on using within the next five years.

He sent off a package containing books, toothpaste, biscuits and sweets, along with two Remembrance Day poppies to remind Danny how much his family cared.
A week later, however, he received a letter saying it could not be dispatched because it was 0.192 of a gram over the 2kg limit - the equivalent of a feather and less than the weight of the two 1gram poppies.
Scroll down for more...
'I think it's disgusting that some jobsworth has decided not to send this out to Afghanistan,' said Mr Smith, 41, from Swinefleet, near Goole, East Yorkshire.
'When I went to post it, it was weighed and accepted - but I don't think it has ever left Goole. I know for a fact that the BFPO (British Forces Post Office) in London would have sent it if it had got there.
'It probably cost them more to write to me than to send it there.'
Scroll down for more...
He added: 'Whilst our postal workers strike for the right to go home early and still get paid, our troops are expected to work 24 hours a day until the job is done; a firefight does not stop because it's clocking-off time.'
After collecting the parcel he re-sent it yesterday, minus the poppies, to his son in the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards, attached to 40 Commando Royal Marines in Helmand Province.
A former sergeant in the Coldstream Guards himself, Mr Smith said the package would make a big difference to his son. 'I know what it is like; you can't just go down to the shops for life's little luxuries. Toothpaste and sweets are the sort of things you miss and that's what made me so angry.
'My son is on a mortar line and he sleeps next to his barrel - he hasn't got any down-time.'
A Royal Mail spokesman said: 'All parcels being sent to troops under the free postal service must meet strict weight guidelines which are laid down by BFPO. Parcels must weigh no more than 2kg.
'Unfortunately, due to human error, this parcel was accepted when it was over the allowed weight. As soon as the subpostmasterrealised the mistake-they apologised to the customer for any inconvenience caused.'
More than 6,000 UK forces personnel are serving in Afghanistan. Helmand, in the south, is a Taliban stronghold and is one of the world's most dangerous regions.
The Royal Mail announced on Monday that it was extending its free postal service to Iraq and Afghanistan, which had been due to run out on December 7.
Following a new deal with the Ministry of Defence it is now expected to last as long as British troops are serving there.Reuse content

Bolton's manager Sam Allardyce, with a heart to match his considerable frame, rewarded the club's biggest fan with two minutes of FA Cup action on Saturday.
And when the youth-team goalkeeper Sam Ashton, who did not even have a squad number until last week, did get on it was not in goal but in the back four.
Allardyce said: "We put him on because he's the best and most staunch Bolton fan in the camp. He wears a massive tattoo on his right arm with the Bolton Wanderers badge on it. He comes from the heart of Bolton town; he loves the club so much.
"He asked if he could get on for a couple of minutes and I thought it could be the best Christmas - or late Christmas - present the lad's ever come across. We gave him a couple of minutes because we had been good enough to kill the game off.
"We had two shirts for him today, as a goalkeeper and an outfield player. But we had no real defenders on the bench and he has played centre-half and right-back for the youth team as well as in goal. For him it was a big day. And for Robert Sissons and Jaroslaw Fojut. They had to step up from the academy and be on the bench and they can go home very satisfied."
Bolton, hit by injuries and bans as well as departures to Africa, made seven changes to the side but they were still too crafty for a Watford side whose offside strategy was repeatedly outwitted.
Allardyce's original line-up, with only three first-choice regulars, consisted of the only fit and available seniors available, apart from the rested No1 goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen. "We have Kevin Davies, Kevin Nolan and Iván Campo coming back from suspension. Hopefully Gary Speed, Henrik Pedersen and Nicky Hunt will be back from injury soon," Allardyce added. "We expected a harder physical challenge from Watford but the quality of our football was such that we didn't allow them to get up a head of steam. It was a terrific performance, particularly in the first half."
The sides looked miles apart, such was the superiority of Bolton's intelligence and movement. Watford fought back stirringly early in the second half without looking likely to disturb Bolton's easy authority.
Bolton, dominating possession, went ahead through Jared Borgetti, a reserve striker but a hero in his native Mexico. Stelios Giannakopoulos killed the tie before the interval and Ricardo Vaz Te added a third midway through the second half.
Phil Gartside, Bolton's chairman, has blocked any move from Newcastle for Allardyce. He said: "If Newcastle chairman [Freddy Shepherd] wants to talk to Sam about the Newcastle job he would be denied permission. He [Allardyce] accepts it and is fully committed to Bolton. I would only consider allowing Sam to leave if the England job came along."
Man of the match Ricardo Vaz Te

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|thanks for the idea
My car is 41 Willys (fiberglas). They come with nothing inside at all. These cars ar also all round with almost nothing straight. A "splash" would have been nice when the car was being built but not now after painting. I made 7 roof bows out of 3/4" premium oak planks. I also build giant scale rc warbirds (model airplanes) so working with wood is not real problem. I spliced most of them at least once using both epoxy and Good old Elmers woodworking glue. This was also an economy process for the same reason you listed. Oak cuts very nice and smells nice too, haha
I did make endless patterns both across the body and down the length. I finally settled on 1/8 in welding wire spliced together. A little duct tape and oak spacers positioned the wire stringers so I could make good posterboard patterns for the oak. I used a FatMan laser level to give me accurate lines to work to. I traced these with permanent marker onto the interior of the body. I installed the oak frame or bows with silicone sealer rather than resin as the resin can sistort the body. (found this out the hard way) From there i "upholstered the oak frame with .006 plastic sheet between each bow. I numbered each of these and cut fabric pieces to match and sew them together. I stapled the assembly to the bows starting from the front. It was just like installing a carpet only upside down.
Considering it was my first upholstery project I happy with it.
Now THIS is really nice...
Wonder how dumb you can be and get away with doing a really good job (me)
I do like this idea just for the fact that most of the work can be done outside and not all cramped up in the truck.
Not sure I will be able to do this now that I think about it.
When we chopped the top, we put in some extra bracing from side to side so the sides wouldn't move while the top wasn't there to hold everything in place.. The outside of my roof isn't like the inside now... but maybe I can do this to make forms for the tight corners.. and for the front around the windshield.
Another reason I like this is because I want to apply some flames (or something) like he has done, and I can see where it'd be easy to do this way...
hhuummm I'm trying to think how I can get the inside fit and do this process (any suggestions)
I'm all ears.. don't think anything is too simple. sometimes I miss the obvious fix. (For some reason it just don't come to mind)
I'd LOVE to do something like this.. PLUS with winter here this is something I could work on and keep moving forward.
I'm on disability, and only get disability income, so if I can build the interior it should would help my finances, and help get the old gal on the road sooner.
|Check out this thread, Centerline made himself a really nice one piece fiberglass headliner. Start at post #5: http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/fibe...ts-189141.html Then look at the finished product in this thread: http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/fibe...ne-193801.html
thanks for the replier folks.
I'll have to look up some of this stuff.
I would like to do as much inside myself as possible.
I had a Trans Am back when I was in High School and I reupholstered it,.. but just the front doors, and read dash.
I know making a headliner from scratch is an entirely different animal.
I''l check out the thread you posted.
Anyone else. I'd like to get as much input as possible before I start.
Have a great day.
I would take a splash with fiberglass to get the shape and then trim it to the size I need..might have to make it into a couple of pieces to allow for installation. then cover the splash with some sort of material to suit..
I suggest you look at this thread. This is a '36 Ford pickup with a chopped top that got a new headliner: http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/cust...up-214724.html
To answer your questions: This is a "hard" headliner, but is finished off just like a regular headliner around the perimeter. It needs to be made from something stretchy like vinyl or Ultraleather.
1) PVC foamboard, which cuts and shapes with regular woodworking tools or a utility knife. If you drill large holes, do them with spade bits or Forstner bits, and go slowly.
2) 1/8" (3MM) is plenty
3) It comes in two main thicknesses, 3MM and 6MM thick and in 4' by 8' sheets. (I found a supplier that has it in 5' by 10' sheets) You won't find anything you need at Home Depot or any other home improvement store other than 1/4" luan plywood if you decide to make a base for the foamboard. PVC foamboard is available from most sign shops and from sheet plastic suppliers. It goes by the brand names Komatex, CelTec, Sintra, and Palight. A 4' by 8' sheet of 3MM foamboard sells for about $30. ABS is very expensive and a lot harder to work with.
Making a brand new headliner -
I have a 1946 Studebaker pickup (hence mu user name)
I have extended the cab 16 inches to have more leg room, and a storage spot behind the seats.
anyway,.. I am curious what material is best to make a brand new interior headliner.
Most of you probably don't know but just about NOTHING is 'flat' on a Studebaker pickup. The roof has a rounded top, the doors curve two directions, etc.
So I need to find something that is firm enough to hold the material and stay in place... yet pliable enough to fit the curves ( it has a few pretty tight corners.)
I was wondering if there might be something I could heat with a heat gun or hair drier so I could make the material it's "permanent installed' shape and then cover it.
Maybe I could cover the material OUTSIDE the truck when putting the upholstery on it.
A guy WAS nice enough to supply me with a pattern for the roof and sides
I DO have some support bars from side to side in the roof to mount a headliner to.
So here's a few other questions that come to mind.
1) what kind of material would be best I am hoping maybe I can find something I can heat until I get it to fix,.. then hold it in place until it cools, and when cool will hold the shape
2) what thickness is best
3) what size does it come in, and where do I get it. (I know I checked at out local Home Depot for ABS plastic, and they had no idea of what I was talking about..???)
4) any idea of the cost...
I HOPE I can get a lot of various ideas from some of you folks. I know many of you probably have first hand knowledge
(I'm still curious if I'll be able to get this inside the truck all in one piece??)

2014 Volkswagen GTI news, pictures, specifications, and information
Retro-inspired touches add to the appeal of this sporty hatch that's a blast to drive
•An exceptional value wîth a starting MSRP of just $25,095
•Two final-year special trims; Wolfsburg Edition and Driver's Edition
•Ranked most appealing Compact Sports Car for the §egmènt by JD Power and Associates
Herndon, VA,
- Nearly 30 years after it first appeared in America, the Volkswagen GTI continues to set the standard in 'hot hatch' driving excitement. The award-winning formula is thrilling enthusiasts today as it was in the early 1980s; an exciting, dynamic driving experience coupled wîth multi-purpose hatchback versatility at an affordable price.
It's no doubt the reason why Car and Driver included the GTI as one of its 2013 '10 Best' saying it 'upends the underachiever's excuse that you can't please all of the people all of the time.'
It's hard to imagine then that the original Golf GTI was planned as a limited series of just 5000 cars. Fast forward 35 years and five generations of GTI later, about two million have been sold worldwide.
Culminating the final year of production for this sixth-generation GTI, the 2014 model is offered in two trims, the well-equipped Wolfsburg Edition and fully loaded Driver's Edition. The cars are offered only in four-door form, powered by an advanced 2.0-liter 16-valve turbocharged and direct-injection TSI® four-cylinder engine.
Vital Stats
Engine : 2.0 L., 4-cylinder
Power: 200 hp
Torque: 207 ft-lbs
6-speed Manual, 6-speed Automatic
For three decades, the GTI has defined the mold for the classic shape of the sporting hatchback. Clean, minimalist lines mixed wîth sharp, intricate detailing produce a style that always remains sleek and contemporary. See an early GTI on the street today and it still looks fresh and modern.
And the design formula continues wîth the 2014 GTI—a long wheelbase wîth short overhangs and a wide track to give that 'planted', road-hugging look. With this sixth-generation GTI, the aggressive front-end features a striking black honeycomb grille wîth a simple GTI badge on the passenger side to reinforce the model's identity. Distinctive red stripes outline the grille which flows into the dramatic, angled teardrop headlight housings.
The GTI Driver's Edition features Bi-Xenon headlights wîth bright-white LED daytime running lights and the Adaptive Front-lighting System. Defining the GTI's front-end design is a large, full-width honeycomb fascia wîth twin air intakes below the bumper, flanked by twin, vertical halogen foglights.
The car's streamlined profile continues toward the rear, wîth a subtle pair of black side skirts running partially along the GTI's lower edge. To heighten the GTI's hunkered-down stance, both 2014 trims feature flared wheelarches covering distinctive, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels shod wîth low-profile, all-season performance tires.
At the rear, horizontal taillights are integrated into the quarter panels and hatch. In addition, smoked red brake lenses are underlined by clear reverse and turn signal lenses. Blended into the bumper is a blacked-out diffuser wîth cut-outs for the chrome-tipped, split dual-exhaust. At the top of the rear hatch is a body-color spoiler which houses the third brake light.
It takes just a few seconds sitting behind the GTI's three-spoke, leather-wrapped, flat-bottom §teering wheel to sense the exceptional quality and remarkable craftsmanship that goes into its cabin. High-quality, soft-touch plastics are integrated wîth tasteful aluminum and chrome highlights. Panel gaps are tightly controlled.
As you'd expect from a sporting hatchback, the GTI's front seats are heavily bolstered to help keep driver and front passenger supported during enthusiastic cornering as well as heatable for cold weather driving. And they come standard wîth eight-way manual adjustment as well as power recline for both the driver and passenger sides, adjustable lumbar support, and height-adjustable head restraints. Characteristic GTI cues run throughout the cabin: the Wolfsburg Edition receives the famous plaid cloth upholstery panels in the seats. Bold red stitching that's also featured on the headrests, center armrest, shift lever boot, and leather-wrapped §teering wheel is a GTI cue, too. The Driver's Edition takes it a step further wîth Titan black leather seating surfaces front and rear.
A performance car demands performance instrumentation and the GTI delivers, wîth its oversized tachometer and matching speedometer that has an integrated engine temperature and fuel gauge. Positioned between the black analog gauges is a multi-function onboard computer display that provides the driver wîth key information regarding fuel mileage, odometer, outside temperature and more.
Another sporting element is the GTI's race-inspired, brushed metal-finish pedals that include rubber inserts for extra grip. And on the left side of the footwall, there's an over-sized footrest for added support and comfort.
Practicality and versatility are also key attributes of the latest GTI. Its high-lifting tailgate provides easy ingress and egress to a load area that offers up to15 cubic feet of space. And wîth the folding rear seat back split 60/40—and featuring a pass-through—there's real flexibility for load carrying.
Engine and Transmissions
Únder-hood, the 2014 GTI features the award-winning double-overhead-cam, 16-valve, 2.0-liter turbocharged and intercooled four-cylinder gasoline engine, wîth direct fuel injection.
Producing 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, the 2.0T offers up athletic performance. With all 207 lb-ft of torque delivered in a flat line from just 1700 rpm to 5000 rpm, the turbo engine is extremely flexible and responsive, making for rapid passing and fast, back-road progress. It's remarkably efficient too. The 2.0 TSI engine and six-speed manual transmission deliver an EPA estimated 31 mpg highway and 21 mpg in city driving.
For drivers who want the performance of a traditional manual transmission wîth the precision of an automatic, the GTI is available wîth an optional DSG® six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission on both models. The transmission's advanced dual-clutch system features one clutch that controls the 'odd' gears plus reverse, while the other operates the 'even' gears. So, if the GTI is being driven in third gear, fourth is already selected but not yet activated. As soon as the ideal shift point is reached, the clutch on the third-gear side opens, the other clutch closes and fourth gear engages—all in the space of four-hundredths of a second.
The result is crisp, rapid-fire shifts without the loss of power that is typical wîth a traditional manual gearbox. This shaves a couple of tenths off the manual transmission car's 0 to 60 mph acceleration time and helps improves fuel economy: EPA estimates show 32 mpg on the highway and 24 in the city.
Buyers who opt for the DSG transmission can switch between fully automatic and automated manual operation, which enables the driver to control every gearshift. The DSG transmission lets the driver shift up and down using either the finger-operated paddles mounted on the GTI's §teering wheel, or by tapping the gearshift selector up or down when pushed to the right in manual mode.
As an added performance bonus wîth DSG, a Launch Control program can be engaged which, when the car is stopped, allows the engine to build revs before the first clutch is engaged, creating perfect acceleration wîth controlled wheelspin.
To deliver the kind of responsive, precise handling enthusiasts expect from a GTI, fully-independent, European-tuned suspension is employed at all four corners. At the front, damper struts wîth lower control arms and a stiff, tubular anti-roll bar help keep the front tires planted during hard cornering, reducing body roll and heightening §teering feedback.
Keeping the car settled at the rear without sacrificing passenger comfort, a compact multilink independent layout features coil springs, telescopic dampers, and an anti-roll bar. The four-link layout features three lateral control arms—the spring mounting, the track rod and upper control arm, and a trailing link at each wheel. Suspension assemblies are attached by way of a rear-axle subframe and, as at the front, rubber and metal mountings that are soft in torsion but stiff radially are used to help ensure the anti-roll bar responds immediately and suppresses body roll effectively.
On each side of the car at the rear, the spring and damper units are located separately, wîth the coil spring bearing directly on the trailing link and the damper attached to the wheel hub assembly. This enables the suspension geometry on the compression stroke to generate a toe §teering effect that maintains neutral behavior, or some slight understeer, in all driving and load-carrying situations. It also helps ensure excellent driving stability on rough, uneven road surfaces.
To help ensure that power is applied properly in challenging conditions, the GTI features the XDS® cross differential (limited slip) system that electronically monitors input from various wheel sensors and, in the event of slippage, transfers extra torque to the front wheel wîth the most traction.
Steering and Brakes
The GTI's highly-praised electro-mechanical power §teering system is able to vary the level of §teering assist to suit the speed and driving situation. It is firm and direct when driving at highway speeds, requiring less effort at parking speeds. Other advantages of the system include its mild self-centering action, and its ability to help compensate for driving hazards like crosswinds and steep road cambers.
Bringing the GTI to a halt are 12.3-inch-diameter vented front discs and 10.7-inch-diameter solid rear disc brakes. Anti-lock brakes (ABS) are standard, along wîth electronic brake pressure distribution (EBS) and hydraulic brake assist (HBA).
Safety and Security
The 2014 GTI comes wîth an array of safety features, both active and passive. For driving security, enhancements include Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), and Engine Braking Assist (EBA).
To help protect those inside, there are driver and passenger front and side thorax airbags together wîth Side Curtain Protection® head airbags in front and rear. The GTI also includes Volkswagen's advanced Intelligent Crash Response System that shuts off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors, and even switches on the hazard lights if the car is involved in certain types of collision.
Scheduled Maintenance
Like all 2014 Volkswagen models, the GTI is covered under the no-charge Carefree Maintenance® Program. Scheduled maintenance is covered for two years or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Model Line-up
The hallmark of every GTI model is its exceptional level of standard equipment and attractive pricing.
GTI Wolfsburg Edition
Even the entry $25,095 GTI Wolfsburg Edition comes equipped wîth a leather-wrapped multifunction §teering wheel; air conditioning; cruise control; a cooled, lockable glovebox and 60/40-split folding rear seat wîth pass through; and Bluetooth® technology. The eight-speaker sound system has a single CD changer, AM/FM/SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, and an auxiliary input jack along wîth an iPod® Media Device Interface (MDI) adapter. The trim features Jacky Plaid cloth seats wîth red accent stitching.
GTI Driver's Edition
With a starting MSRP of $29,695, the GTI Driver's Edition model includes the Wolfsburg Edition features plus: Titan black leather seating surfaces front and rear; a power sunroof; and the RNS315 navigation system wîth a five-inch high-resolution display. The exterior is upgraded wîth Bi-Xenon headlights wîth LED Daytime Running Lights.

The Volkswagen Golf GTI was unveiled in 1975 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The ÚK market had to wait a further two years for vehicles to arrive – 1977 saw 34 examples, all of them left hand drive, sold in the GTI's first tentative year.
The GTI was powered by a 1,588 cc four cylinder engine wîth K-Jetronic fuel injection it developed 110 PS at 6,100 rpm and 103 lbs ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. This allowed the GTI, which weighed 810 kg unladen, to hit 60 mph from standstill in nine-seconds before reaching a top speed of 110 mph.
The now familiar mix of a high-revving, responsive four-cylinder engine installed in a hatchback body wîth the emphasis on driving fun was linked to a pared down interior came as a revelation at the time. Especially when combined wîth tartan trim and the now iconic golf ball gearshift.
The car was an instant hit. By the time right-hand drive cars arrived in the ÚK in 1979 a total of 1,573 cars were sold in that year, a number that would triple within two years.
In 1984 the Mk II GTI was launched and picked up where the Mk I left off. A new chassis structure, a 1,781 cc engine developing 112 PS and 114 lbs ft of torque and new styling evolved the GTI and saw it appeal to a new generation of fans. Sales of the Mk II GTI surpassed those of the Mk I, peaking at 17,193 vehicles in 1989. In Germany a supercharged G60 version developing 160 PS was sold, an output that wouldn't be bettered in a GTI until 2002.
Three years later the Mk III GTI was launched, bringing wîth it a new 2.0-litre eight-valve engine and improved aerodynamics over the previous Mk I and Mk II models. In 1993 the GTI fitted was wîth a 2.0-litre 16-valve engine, raising the power output from 115 PS in the eight-valve model up to a more substantial 150 PS and 133 lbs ft of torque to drop the 0-60 mph time to 8.3 seconds and raise the top speed to 133 mph.
The introduction of the Mk IV GTI in 1998 saw significant changes to the line-up wîth the first diesel-engined GTI introduced along wîth two petrol engines in a total of four different states of tune. The Mk IV GTI made significant gains in refinement and safety – in 2002 the fastest accelerating and most powerful GTI produced up until that point was released in the form of the 180 PS GTI 25th Anniversary Edition. It was the success of this more powerful vehicle that inspired the introduction of the Mk V GTI.
Launched in September 2004 at the Paris Motor Show the Mk V GTI equipped wîth a 200 PS engine was not only the most powerful but also the most focused GTI yet produced. A new 2.0-litre T-FSI engine linked to a six-speed gearbox and standard Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) were linked to a new chassis equipped wîth MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link configuration at the rear. The vehicle was 15 mm lower than the standard Golf on new springs, dampers and anti-roll bars.
Visual cues were taken from the original GTI wîth the return of the tartan interior and the red surround to the grille element – even the GTI typeface used on the badge echoed that of the original.
The Mk V GTI served as a basis for two special editions – the Pirelli and Edition 30. Both models were powered by an evolution of the 2.0-litre T-FSI engine fitted to the conventional GTI, albeit both producing 230 PS.
The wildest GTI ever created – the GTI W12-650 – was also based on the Mk V. Powered by a mid-mounted 6.0-litre W12 engine producing 650 PS the vehicle could accelerate to 62 mph in 3.7-seconds and could theoretically achieve a maximum speed of 201 mph.
Production of the Mk V Golf ceased in August 2008 wîth a total of 17,630 examples sold in the ÚK alone. In total over 1,700,000 examples of the GTI have been sold worldwide since the vehicle went on sale in 1976.

A compact car manufacturer in Germany, the Rabbit originally debuted in Europe in 1974 as the Volkswagen Golf and it adopted the Rabbit moniker once it made its first appearance in Canada and the U.S. in 1975. The named was switched back to the original Golf name in 1985 and it remained that way for 21 years.
In 1975, Volkswagen introduced the Rabbit as an attempt to correct flagging sales for their company. At the time, Japanese auto makers were competing with the VW Beetle by introducing little 'econoboxes' at a much cheaper price and were overwhelming the U.S. market. Cute, compact and a front wheel drive vehicle, the Rabbit was priced nearly the same as a Japanese econobox, but with a water-cooled 4 cylinder engine with a transversely mounted engine that drove the front wheels.
Replacing the Beetle in the U.S. market, it wasn't until about 4 years after it was introduced when the Rabbit finally became popular, most of this due to the oil crisis. Fuel economy was excellent on the tiny little car, 45 in the city, and up to 57 mpg on the highway, this could be combined with the optional 1.514 cylinder Diesel. Enthusiasts clamored for this new Volkswagen. In 1979 production for the U.S. market was relocation to New Stanton, Pennsylvania and the first Rabbit rolled off the assembly line on April 10th, 1978. NBC news was on hand to document the first foreign vehicle to be built in the U.S.A. Production of the VW went from April of 1978 until July 1988 at the New Stanton plant before they closed. A total of 1,192,411 vehicles were produced at this plant.
For the late 1979 model year the Rabbit received a make-over as the production was moved. The largest and most noticeable change to the American Rabbit, were the addition of all new square headlights. 1979 was also the year that the Rabbit Convertible was introduced and featured the body of the Rabbit, but featured a soft vinyl top. The convertible featured the round headlights that were found on older-model rabbit's.
The Rabbit received yet another make-over in 1981 and featured the new square headlight from the previous year, with wrap around turn signals that replaced the ones that had been used previously in the bumper. Inside, the Rabbit received a much more modern 'Americanized' interior that was color keyed completely in the inside. For the 1981 model year, the engine was upgraded to a larger size and the gas engine leaped from 1.6 to 1.71 and the diesel also shot from a 1.5 to a 1.6.
During its production run, the VW Rabbit didn't receive many changes, though it did undergo many improvements. The Rabbit pickup was debuted in 1979 late in the year for the 1980 model year. The pickup was lengthened by 3 feet and had great hauling capacity and was offered with either a diesel or gas engine, though most were sold as diesels.
The GTi was introduced in 1982 and a much more sporty rendition of the VW Rabbit. The engine was a 1.81 and it featured a much stiffer suspension, front air dam, alloy wheels and unique Recaro sports seats. All of the grand features that drivers wanted were improved, the top speed, the handling and the acceleration on the GTi.
In 1982 a special 'black tie' edition Rabbit was introduced and featured black bumpers and mouldings that gave it an elegant look. On the inside, special seats were utilized and a rear wiper was also added. A Wolfsburg Edition Rabbit was debuted for 1984. A lush Rabbit model, the Wolfsburg came with a very unique interior, along with an extra moulding on the bottom of the door, and A/C.
The Volkswagen Golf was introduced in July of 1984 and the Rabbit stepped aside a bit. After being redesigned and renamed, the Rabbit convertible became the Cabriolet, and more recently to the Cabrio. Though it was not a long-lasting vehicle, the Rabbit was a popular vehicle that made a big impact on the history of Volkswagen. Today, the Rabbit is still a popular vehicle that is still in high demand all over the U.S. Though U.S. production has stopped, the MK1's continue to be produced by Volkswagen of South Africa dubbed as the CitiGolf model.
Volkswagen of America announced the return of the Rabbit on April 12, 2006 at the Detroit Auto Show. This was due partly to the decline of sales for the VW Golf in the North American market and VW of America choosing to re-brand the Golf name. This newly introduced model is the same as the Golf V that is sold worldwide.
For the 2007 model year, the Mk V Rabbit replaced the VW Golf and the engine was upgraded to a standard 2.5-L 150-hp I-5 for both the 2-door and 4-door models. The '06 Rabbit was available in two trims, a 2-door and a 4-door hatchback. The 2-door came wit a 150-hp 2.5L DOHC engine, speed sensitive wipers, 10-speaker AM/FM CD stereo system, 6 way manually adjustable driver's seat and turn signal indicator in side mirrors. The 4-door rabbit came with a 150-hp 2.5L DOHC engine, heatable front seats, adjustable lumbar support for both driver and front passenger, light tinted windows, and 60/40 folding rear seat.
By March 2009 the Volkswagen again chose to drop the 'Rabbit' nomenclature and chose once again to rename it the 'Golf'. Volkswagen debuted the all new Golf/Rabbit online on August 2008, thought the official unveiling of the 6th generation occurred at the 2008 Paris Motor Show in October 2008. The newest Golf/Rabbit will be wider than before and will feature body styling similar to the VW Scirocco as well as tail-lamps that remind one of the Touareg. Under the hood was a range of 2-diesel (1.9-liter and 2.0-liter TDI) and 3 Petrol (1.4-liter TSI, 1.8-liter and 2.0-liter TFSI) burning engines. The '09 Rabbit features a 5-cylinder engine with Tiptronic 6 speed automatic transmission which can be adjusted to sport mode which allows for longer RPM runs before gear shifting. To keep the engine in the power band, the sport mode also aggressively down shifts. A manual mode is available as an alternative that allowed the driver to shift gears up and down, much like a F1 car.
On October 15, 2008 the first U.K. example of the all new Golf was auction off for charity by the London Press Club Ball. All of the proceeds went to the 'Journalists' Charity', a UK charity for journalists in need.
At this time there are no hybrid variants of the VW rabbit, but there is also an opportunity that Volkswagen's 2.0 liter clean diesel engine will be available from 2008 on. Outside of North America the VW Rabbit is known as the Golf and over 5 generations and more than 24 million vehicles have been produced.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Thanks to the results of the Week 17 games this weekend, the New York Jets did not accomplish what they set out to do when they went on a spending spree this past offseason (that being making the playoffs). Now, some of it was bad luck. After all, if they were in the AFC West, they would have likely made the playoffs. Of course, Patriots fans are saying the same thing right now in regards to their own record.
So, the reason the Jets are not in the playoffs is a little more specific. It falls squarely on the shoulders (or maybe just the right one) of their largely hyped offseason acquisition at the quarterback position, Brett Favre.
Brett Favre looked so strong early on in the season, as the Jets jumped off to a solid start. In fact, at the beginning of December, there were talks of a Jets-Giants Super Bowl. However, in the games that would come, Favre began to miss receivers, underthrow balls and generally make it easier for the secondary to intercept him.
We would come to learn that Brett has been playing with a dead arm, if not a potential physical injury to his throwing arm. If the Jets would have won Sunday and made the playoffs, we would have heard stories about how Favre showed his grittiness by playing on through injury to lead his team on. Instead, what we won't hear is how Brett should have showed concern for his team's playoff chances and done what was in the team's best interest.
Sure, you can say that the Jets could've done better if they had more health in the secondary and didn't need to resort to Ty Law, for example. But the Jets had a very good offensive line, with great offensive talent around Favre: Dustin Keller, Jerricho Cotchery (my favorite name in football) and Laveranues Coles as pure receiving options, and Thomas Jones and Leon Washington as great running backs (with Washington being a very good receiver as well).
Some people will blame head coach Eric Mangini, but at the end of the day, having an equal number of interceptions thrown as touchdowns thrown is not going to put your team in a position to win. Interceptions force the defense to have less room for error in dealing with the opposition, and when you have a weakened secondary, that does not work to your advantage. Brett Favre, the sunset is calling you.
Tags: Brett Favre, Eric Mangini, Leon Washington, New York Jets, Patriots, Ty Law
Coaches and their system is a big factor in the success of the team and individual players.
Not all of the blame should fall onto Brett Favre. Not all of the success should be credited to Brett Favre.

Okay, people are supporting the troops in ways that are deeply important, in ways that as a country, we got a lot of work to do. There are physical injuries that even I can understand, but beyond that, there's traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the invisible damage to troops, like post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD.)
Recently the NCIRE and
The Veterans
Research Institute, ran the "The Brain at War"
conference, which I attended briefly. (I'm not very tough, and this stuff is hard to hear.) This was all about helping vets deal with these real problem. I don't really understand a lot, so I'll get out of the way, and hear from someone with real expertise.
Check out Healing Combat Trauma and specifically, "The Brain at War" Conference in San Francisco:
There were many highlights of the program, including
hearing from the National Guard about what they're doing to secure
better mental health for their servicemembers, who don't have the same
access that other branches do. The California
National Guard has a good "Combat Stress
Control" program, with handouts like this tip sheet, "Helping a
Soldier Buddy in Distress," linked here.
They've also got a superlative poster, "Never Let Your Buddy Fight Alone
(against PTSD)" that emphasizes the importance of Guardmembers in one
another's lives. An U.S. Army National Guard leader, Major Paul E.
Gonzales, from Kansas' National Guard, talked convincingly about the
challenges Guardmembers face after deployment, accessing mental health
services, when they're frequently hours away from the nearest facility.
There were many highlights of the program, including
Also check out more about the Marines Memorial Club, and their very real tribute to troops. (I'm getting involved, more to say later…)

Tennessee Titans
Playoff Schedule
(Week 14: vs. New York Giants, Week 15: vs. New York Jets, Week 16: at Jacksonville)
Arizona in Week 15 looms large but the other two matchups are relatively easy.
Coaching Staff
Tennessee hired Ken Whisenhunt to lead the team in the offseason. His first course of action will be to try to get QB Jake Locker to improve his all-around game. This is a young team which will make many mistakes, they just need to show improvement as the season goes on.
Fantasy Stud
It seems crazy to list a fifth round pick as a Fantasy stud, but WR Kendall Wright is very studly. In his last two seasons Wright has caught 90 or more passes for just under 1100 yards each season. If he can turn some of those receptions into touchdowns he will jump to a top ten Fantasy WR.
Tennessee Titans WRs Kendall Wright & Justin Hunter
Under the Radar Guy
TE Delanie Walker was considered Fantasy irrelevant when he played behind Vernon Davis while with the 49ers. Since he came to the Titans, he is the team's second most reliable target and someone who flew under the radar of Fantasy owners. Walker had 60 receptions in his first year as a starter and hopes to build on last season's success in 2014.
Roto Visionary Sleeper
Initially, I had major questions about RB Bishop Sankey. I was unsure if he had the size or the speed to be an every down RB in the NFL. However, Coach Whisenhunt showed last year that he can find enough playing time for a three man backfield and I think that Sankey will be the lead back for the Titans this year. Look for him to get about 900 yards rushing with six TDs.
Potential Bust
There is an old adage that, "You can't teach height." When it comes to NFL quarterbacks, you can add another adage: "It's hard to teach accuracy." QB Jake Locker is not an accurate passer. He is mobile and athletic, but inaccurate. This will continue to be his fatal flaw. Look for Rookie QB Zach Mettenberger to get a shot at some point this season to prove he can lead the team in 2015 and beyond.
Washington Redskins
Playoff Schedule
(Week 14: vs. St. Louis, Week 15: at New York Giants, Week 16: vs. Philadelphia)
The Redskins have two divisional games in Weeks 15 and 16, but the schedule is certainly acceptable for Fantasy owners.
Coaching Staff
Jay Gruden was hired from Cincinnati with a mandate from ownership to open up the offense and make Robert Griffin III the star QB that the team needs him to be. If Gruden can make Griffin a star, he might end up as a candidate for Coach of the Year.
Fantasy Stud
I know that QB Robert Griffin III has looked awful this preseason, but there is no way that I (or the Redskins) am giving up on him. Look at the numbers: He can throw for 3,600 yards, 20 TDs, 600 yards rushing and five or six rushing TDs. If I used those numbers alone, Griffin would be a top eight QB. I think his ceiling is even higher.
Washington Redskins WR Pierre Garcon
Under the Radar
Lost in the RGIII and passing offense hype is RB Alfred Morris. With Jay Gruden coming in and opening up the passing game, Morris should have HUGE running lanes. This should give him a great shot at 1,200 yards and 10-12 TDs. Morris is falling to the late third round of Fantasy drafts. If you start your draft WR/WR, he would be a great third round selection as your RB1.
Roto Visionary Sleeper
I know that kickers are not supposed to be Fantasy relevant, but I like Kai Forbath. Forbath was injured for much of last year, but when he returned in Week 9 he finished the year 13 for 13 in FG attempts. Project those numbers out for the entire season and I can see Forbath being a top three kicker in Fantasy this year. The best thing is that he is probably available with the last pick in your draft.
Potential Bust
TE Jordan Reed is literally one concussion away from retirement. I love the player, but the injury risk is way too great here for me.

For an explanation of who Brother Beatnik is go here.Religious Advertising
By Brother Beatnik
March 22, 2004
The 'goods' that people seek are spiritual - goods like peace, wisdom, happiness, confidence, contentment, certainty, security, courage, patience, truth, love, joy etc. But they think that they can get these 'goods' through indirect, external means that is through material possessions. What they don't realize is that this imaginary inner lack, this imaginary inner poverty, cannot be filled by external riches. You already have everything you need - the Kingdom of God is within you! You already innately possess the perfection of Tao. All you have to do is realize this by looking within.
Religions advertise (in their sacred scriptures) spiritual products like peace and wisdom. This is okay but when you have the 'goods' already, it makes no sense to devote the rest of your life to studying the advertisements. Nothing compares to actually having the goods in your hand. Why be just satisfied with advertisements? Don't spend all your money (your life) on studying, memorizing and writing commentaries on advertisements. Leave that to theologians.
Watch out for spiritual fraud. Many religious evangelists of all creeds are just waving about banners and advertisements - they've never seen the goods themselves. What they're selling are the advertisements themselves. Ask for the goods and they'll say study the advertisements and the goods will magically appear. This is just like handing a menu to a hungry man and saying to him, 'Focus on this menu fervently and the food will appear'. If the food fails to appear the 'chefs' (imams, lamas, vicars, gurus) and 'waiters' (their disciples) accuse the hungry man (the seeker) for not trying hard enough and not having enough 'faith' in the process. Just believe in the adverts, they say, and don't questions about how and where to obtain the goods.

This is a very interesting perspective, I think teachers who have discovered the real goods are directing others to follow their own voice. This eliminates the power of the ads, don't you agree? Thanks for the interesting idea!ReplyDelete
Yes, I most definitely agree!

The U.S. flag was presented by Redlands DeMolay members led by Michael Wynne, master councilor elect, and Bradley Reynolds, junior councilor elect.
Kim Painter was also introduced as the Job's Daughters California Grand Bethel honored queen.
In his parting address, Floyd Orr, retiring master, thanked officers and members for their support, noting that the lodge scholarship foundation and the child ID programs are both a valuable part of the Redlands community.
McKee gave the final comments, explaining the statewide project of increasing the visibility of Masonry and announcing that UCLA has established a major in the studies of Freemasonry and a fully endowed Masonic research chair at the university.

Viral Star Krispy Kreme Unleashes His Special Brand of Rap on the World [VIDEO]
Outside of reality TV, the internet (YouTube, specifically) has made stars out of everyday people. Some get their 15 minutes and fizzle out while others like the band Karmin have become legit stars after posting several YouTube videos featuring their unconventional covers of songs by Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj. If asked to which category I would put rapper Krispy Kreme into, I'd have to say the first one, but let's not keep us from enjoying his 15 minutes while it lasts.
I haven't been able to pin down exactly where Mr. Kreme is from, but based on his thick drawl, I'm assuming he originates from somewhere in the south. Outside of his Facebook bio which says he's into "rappin. playin basketball. kissin girls." (sic), I haven't been able to find out much about him at all. What I was able to discover is that he's fairly new to the game, his Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts were all created in early to mid April. In that short amount of time, the three music videos he's uploaded have been viewed over 4.25 million times.
I'll go out on a limb and say that a majority of those views probably haven't come from people's appreciation of his music (although the beats are actually pretty bangin'), but from hilarious lyrics (however unintentionally funny they are meant to be) like these from his single "The Baddest";
I bet you sleep with a night light
'Cause you're scared of the dark
'Cause you stink like a fart
Well I'll light your fart on fire with my rhymes
You think I won't? I do it all the time
Sure, "dark" and "fart" don't exactly rhyme, but you're too busy laughing to care.
I think what seals it for people (myself included) is the overall package. Outside of groundbreaking lyrics like those above, Krispy's dorky appearance, the nearly constant presence of his equally dorky sidekick, Mr. I've-never-seen-a-female-boob-other-than-on-the-internet, "Money Maker Mike", and the fact that two of his three videos were apparently shot in his parents basement where he displays his passion for push-ups and taking out his aggression on a torn punching bag all while glorifying the stereotype that all rappers carry weapons, come together for one neatly wrapped package of hilarity.
And while we sit back and have a good laugh, with 4.25 million YouTube hits and his songs on iTunes, it may wind up being Krispy Kreme who has the last laugh, suckas.

WC, I've never fished Virginia, but I believe the Spottail(Red Drum) will be runnin' pretty hard in Oct. Try some cut mullet or some blue crab for these monsters.
I know down here in Oct the bonnitheads (type of hammerhead shark) are coming into the shallows and rivers to give birth. They are so plentiful that they almost become a pain in the butt. You are only allowed to keep 1, but you'll catch enough to fill a truck! Use squid for the shark and everything else.

I couldn't agree more... white, contrasted with darker colors, really pops! How fun to go shopping with a friend at the antique store. Sometimes it does take a second point of view in order not to pass up a gem! And I love the tin... so sweet!

Thank you for hosting, Becky. Your photos are always so lovely. I'm so envious of that laundry room (I only have a laundry "closet") Congratulations again on those sweet new babies!

Hi Becky, Love your shelf shadowbox. It looks gorgeous above the TV filled with your treasured items. Did some catching up and congrats on your sweet little grands. How precious and what a blessing. I have been sick with the flu and trying to get back in the swing of things now.
Have a blessed day.
Hugs, Celestina Marie

Oh, Becky....What a delightful feature. I can't imagine a prettier cottage than Kris's. Every sweet detail is so thoughtfully placed. I feel like I am in my great aunt Viola's home as a child.
Thank you for treating us all to such a magnificent post and for hosting each week!

Beautiful pictures. I've been wanting to link up for several weeks, but didn't have anything white of which I could take a picture. So I made something.
