Without the scoreboard to feel good about, Oakland took some pride in a defensive ranking that ranked third in yards per game overall (284.8) and first against the pass (150.8) in terms of yards per game.
The Raiders returned their entire starting lineup, and the feeling during training camp was if the offense could come up with around 17 points per game, a dramatic turnaround was not out of the question.
It hasn't worked out that way.
The Raiders are 0-2, and in both games, the offense has supplied fourth-quarter leads that the defense couldn't hold.
In Week 1, Oakland went up 21-20 with 7:43 to play, only to have Detroit march 80 yards in seven plays for a 26-21 lead that would eventually be 36-21.
Against Denver in Week 2, the Raiders took a 20-17 lead with 8:55 to play after a 44-yard interception return by Thomas Howard and a two-point conversion.
Needing another stop, if not another turnover, the Broncos got the ball back and drove 78 yards in 15 plays for a game-tying field goal in a game Oakland would eventually lose 23-20 in overtime.
"You've got to finish. You have to have that mindset that you have to close it off, put an end to it," coach Lane Kiffin said. "You don't let them keep breathing. We need to get that mentality, and we're working on it."
The miniscule yardage figures Oakland gave up last year have ballooned to the point where the Raiders rank 28th in defense in terms of yards per game, coughing up 833 yards in two games.
Against Detroit, offensive coordinator Mike Martz had all offseason to prepare for a defense that returned all its players.
But there was familiarity with Denver, a division foe that has run roughly the same offense since 1995 under Mike Shanahan. While Oakland came through with two interceptions, a safety and a big three-and-out to start overtime, Denver racked up 26 first downs in its other eight possessions.
Middle linebacker Kirk Morrison has been Oakland's leading tackler for the past two seasons and has interceptions in each of the Raiders' games. He believes building a defense is an evolutionary process that is in its infancy.
"It's just Week 2, know what I mean?" Morrison said. "Who thought we were going to be the No. 1 defense right off the bat. You've got to work to get there. Detroit came in, threw some different looks at us and we missed some tackles.
"Denver put up 400-plus yards against Buffalo also. So they're a good offense. We're not playing against struggling offenses. If we had made the field goal in overtime, we wouldn't even be talking about this right now, we'd be talking about going out and winning our second game."
Tackling, particularly in the secondary, was shoddy against Denver. Running back Travis Henry gained 139 yards and many of those came after missed tackles. Kiffin said those issues would be addressed before playing a Cleveland team that put up 51 points and 554 yards against Cincinnati.
"There's different drills we can do in individual sessions, tackling drills, and taking their tackles on film, showing them the ones they made and the ones they missed," Kiffin said. "There are times when players just really need to quit sitting back, to go for it and take a shot."
From the Cleveland camp:
Confidence is soaring in the Browns locker room as they prepare to face the Raiders Sunday in Oakland. No one is promising another 51-point outburst like they produced against the Bengals one week after being swatted by the Steelers, but the offensive stars of the team say the five touchdown passes by Derek Anderson were a truer example of what the Browns can do.
"Obviously, what that did is give us a little bit of confidence in all the hard work we put in in the offseason," said Joe Jurevicius, who caught two of Anderson's touchdown passes. "Now it gives us the belief that what we've been doing can really help us.
"When we played Pittsburgh, I was as shocked as anybody. We didn't play like we wanted to. I remember saying that's not what we expect to put on the football field and we're going to be better. I think we showed that."
The Browns rolled up 554 offensive yards against the Bengals compared to 221 against the Steelers, 23 first downs compared to 13 and, most importantly, six touchdowns compared to one.
The Raiders are vulnerable; they are 0-2 and yielded 441 yards to the Broncos last week after yielding 392 to the Lions.
Only two things changed over the seven days that stretched between the Steelers and Bengals; the opponent and the quarterback.
After beating the Bengals, general manager Phil Savage suggested the Browns might have surprised them because the Bengals could not learn anything from watching tape of the Pittsburgh game.
"It goes back to practice," said Braylon Edwards, who caught eight passes for 146 yards. "We have the attitude and confidence to know we can do these things. We didn't come in down in the dumps from the week before. We came in and said, 'Back to the drawing board. We know what we can do, let's go out there and do it.' That's our attitude this week too. That Cincinnati game is behind us, but this is the team we want to show the league. This is us."
Kellen Winslow Jr. set a personal record with 100 yards receiving against the Bengals. He made sure to praise the offensive line for giving Anderson time to throw and for opening huge holes for Jamal Lewis. Lewis rushed for 216 yards. Last week, the Raiders gave up 181 on the ground.
Hank Fraley, the center, said the offensive line feeds off the success of the skill players. Watching Lewis shoot the gap on a 66-yard touchdown run, or seeing Edwards leap at the 10, arms stretched, and catching the ball at the 3 then rolling into the end zone makes the line play that much harder, Fraley said.
"We get excited on the offensive line when we see those guys making plays," Fraley said. "Part of us knows it took us to give D.A. enough time. As long as you give your quarterback enough time, when you have playmakers like those guys, they're going to make it. It gets us pumped up. We want to keep the momentum going."

Site: Marquette, Mich. (Berry Events Center)
Score: #7 Michigan 4, Northern Michigan 4 (U-M wins shootout, 1-0)
Records: U-M (3-2-1, 1-1-1-1 CCHA), NMU (3-3-1, 0-2-1-0 CCHA)
Attendance: 3,684
Next U-M Event: Saturday, Nov. 3 -- vs. Northern Michigan (Marquette, Mich.), 7:35 p.m.
MARQUETTE, Mich. -- A.J. Treais (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) scored the game-tying goal with 0.6 seconds left in the third period, completing a three-goal comeback for the University of Michigan ice hockey team (No. 7 USA Today/No. 8 USCHO.com) against the Northern Michigan Wildcats on Friday (Nov. 2) at the Berry Events Center. Treais scored the lone shootout goal to give the Wolverines the extra CCHA point.
U-M entered the third period down 4-1, but a three-goal output in the final 20 minutes sent the contest into overtime.
Michigan struck first, 15:38 into the first period, when Mac Bennett (Narragansett, R.I.) put home his second goal of the season. Justin Selman (Upper Saddle River, N.J.) won the faceoff to the left of NMU goaltender Jared Coreau and made the pass back to Bennett, who floated one into the net for the 1-0 advantage.
It took just 42 seconds for the Wildcats to knot the score at 1-1 once the puck was dropped on the second period. With Derek DeBlois (Narragansett, R.I.) serving a goaltender interference penalty from the first period, NMU's Erik Higby found the back of the net after multiple rebound attempts in front.
Northern Michigan took the 2-1 lead, at the 8:54 mark of the second, when Wade Epp shot the puck from the point through a sea of bodies and slipped it past goaltender Steve Racine (Williamsville, N.Y.). Ryan Daugherty then scored on redirection at the 13:54 mark of the period and Cohen Adair did the same 15:37 into the middle frame to stake NMU a 4-1 lead into the dressing room. Three of NMU's four second-period goals came against a Michigan penalty kill unit that had successfully denied its opponents on 18-of-20 power plays entering tonight's contest.
Michigan's comeback began when Kevin Lynch (Grosse Pointe, Mich.) netted his first of the season 8:12 into the third period, burying a rebound after Bennett took a shot from the point. Mike Chiasson (Henderson, Nev.) made it a 4-3 game almost five minutes later when he found his way to a rebound out front for Michigan's second power-play goal of the period.
The Wolverines ran into a bit of penalty trouble at the 14:43 mark of the third period, when freshman Jacob Trouba (Rochester, Mich.) was tagged with a five-minute major and game disqualification for contact to the head. Trouba will be ineligible for Saturday night's contest.
After successfully killing the five-minute major, Michigan found itself down 4-3 with just 17 seconds remaining in regulation. With Racine on the bench in favor of an extra attacker, U-M put pucks on net and created a scramble in front of the NMU goaltender. Treais found himself in perfect position just to the left of Coreau and buried the game-tying goal with only 0.6 seconds remaining in the game.
After a scoreless overtime period, the game proceeded to a shootout. Treais led off the shootout for Michigan, ripping a shot through the five hole of Coreau. That stood up to be the game-deciding goal, as no other shooter could find the back of the net.
Racine made his fourth start of the season for Michigan, turning aside 24 shots in the tie. Coreau stopped 31-of-35 shots.
Michigan ended the contest 2-for-5 on the power play, while NMU converted on 3-of-6 man-up chances.
The Wolverines and Wildcats will close out this two-game set on Saturday night (Nov. 3) at the Berry Events Center. Game time is scheduled for 7:35 p.m.

A Raman and infrared spectroscopic study of the uranyl silicates-weeksite, soddyite and haiweeite
Frost, Ray L., Weier, Matt L., Martens, Wayde N., & Cejka, Jiri (2006) A Raman and infrared spectroscopic study of the uranyl silicates-weeksite, soddyite and haiweeite. Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 63(2), pp. 305-312.
|PDF (946kB)
Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the molecular structure of a series of selected uranyl silicate minerals including weeksite K2[(UO2)2(Si5O13)].H2O, soddyite [(UO2)2SiO4.2H2O] and haiweeite Ca[(UO2)2(Si5O12(OH)2](H2O)3 with UO22+/SiO2 molar ratio 2:1 or 2:5 .Raman spectra clearly show well resolved bands in the 750 to 800 cm-1 region and in the 950 to 1000 cm-1 region assigned to the ν1 modes of the (UO2)2+ units and to the (SiO4)4- tetrahedra. For example soddyite is characterised by Raman bands at 828.0, 808.6, 801.8 cm-1 (UO2)2+ (○1), 909.6 and 898.0 cm-1 (UO2)2+ (○3), 268.2 cm-1 and 257.8 and 246.9 cm-1are assigned to the ○2 (¦) (UO2)2+. Coincidences of the ○1 (UO2)2+ and the ○1 (SiO4)4- is expected. Bands at 1082.2, 1071.2, 1036.3, 995.1, 966.3 cm-1 are attributed to the ○3 (SiO4)4-.Sets of Raman bands in the 200 to 300 cm-1 region are assigned to ν2 δ (UO2)2+ and UO ligand vibrations. Multiple bands indicate the non-equivalence of the UO bonds and the lifting of the degeneracy of ν2 δ (UO2)2+ vibrations. The (SiO4)4- tetrahedral are characterized by bands in the 470 to 550 cm-1 and in the 390 to 420 cm-1 region. These bands are attributed to the ν4 and ν2 (SiO4)4- bending modes. The minerals show characteristic OH stretching bands in the 2900 to 3500 cm-1 and 3600 to 3700 cm-1.

The publication of The Gorgeous Nothings, the elegant, arresting volume of Emily Dickinson's envelope poems released this fall by New Directions, has been rightly celebrated for many reasons, not the least of which is that it reminds us of the visual component of poetry. As we near the end of the year, we wanted to highlight other books that use visual elements to animate text—from a grief-stricken lament in the wake of a suicide to a sweet, timeless lullaby. Any or all of the following titles would make lovely gifts during this holiday season.
A Swarm, A Flock, A Host
by Mark Doty
You won't find any moralizing allegories in this contemporary take on a medieval bestiary. Instead, Mark Doty's gorgeous poetry paired with Daren Waterston's silhouettes of real and imaginary animals gently remind us that we are no longer simply cataloguers of the natural world—we are also its stewards.
Bough Down
by Karen Green
"It's hard to remember tender things tenderly," writes Green in this sharp, haunting account. A mix of prose poetry interspersed with tiny collages of text, Bough Down stakes as its territory Green's grief after her husband, the writer David Foster Wallace, committed suicide in 2008. "I worry I broke your kneecaps when I cut you down," Green writes. "I keep hearing that sound." Her writing is insistent and vivid and clear-eyed even at its most painful, and the result is an unforgettable, devastating work. "Every view is peripheral now," she observes.

poem by Anne Michaels, portraits by Bernice Eisenstein
Correspondences is a two-for-one art-poetry book that spreads out accordion-style. On one side is a book-length poem by Anne Michaels that engages both the historical and the personal. Flip the book over and you'll find a collection of visual art and poetry: Bernice Eisenstein's portraits of poets and thinkers such as Anna Akhmatova and Franz Kafka, with accompanying excerpts of their poems in translation. There's a direct conversation between the two projects, a collaboration between artist and poet, as these two sections "talk" to one another by referencing the same historical figures and explore the interconnectedness of our lives.
O! Tricky Cad and Other Jessoterica
by Jess, edited by Michael Duncan
Think of O! Tricky Cad and Other Jessoterica as a kind of gateway drug to poetry. Featuring word-rich collage art and previously unpublished collage poems by San Francisco artist Jess, the book draws on diverse source material, ranging from the comic Krazy Kat to 19th-century engravings.
The World Is Round
by Gertrude Stein, illustrated by Clement Hurd
Stein was at the height of her career in 1938 when she received a letter from a new publishing house asking if she had any interest in writing a children's book. Why yes, she replied; in fact, she had such a manuscript nearly completed. The resulting The World Is Round, written in Stein's wry, inimitable voice, is as likely to appeal to adults as to children. "Why am I a little girl / Where am I a little girl," wonders Stein's aptly named heroine, Rose."Which little girl am I." The 75th-anniversary edition returns the book to its original design by a young Clement Hurd (who would later go on to illustrate Goodnight Moon), with eye-popping pink pages and gorgeous blue ink drawings.
Lullaby (For a Black Mother)
by Langston Hughes, illustrated by Sean Qualls
Langston Hughes didn't have any children of his own, but when he was a young man he wrote a simple, tender poem directed at the youngest of them. "Lullaby (For a Black Mother)" begins: "My little dark baby, / My little earth-thing, / My little love-one." This newly released edition couples Hughes's lines with Sean Qualls's beautiful illustrations; the night sky is rendered in deep, rich blues and purples, with the mother clasping her baby's hands as a dove strings a jewel-like "necklace of stars." It's a perfect bedtime story for young children, and a lovely introduction to Hughes's work.

Aaron Ramsey and Denilson are likely to miss the trip to Bolton on Sunday.
The Brazilian was always doubtful because of a rib injury and faces a late fitness test. However the Welshman picked up a thigh problem in Friday's training session.
With Alex Song already away at the Africa Cup of Nations, Arsène Wenger could do without injuries in central midfield. Thankfully Cesc Fabregas is fit for the first time since December 27 due to hamstring trouble.
"Denilson will have a test on Saturday and he is likely to be out," said the manager at Friday's press conference. "Ramsey had a muscular problem today and it is likely to be out too. The injury is high up on his thigh but I think it is short-term.
"I am very short in midfield at the moment so even I am trying to practice at the moment!"
Wenger also took the opportunity to update on another couple of young players.
"Jack Wilshere is still injured," said the Frenchman. "He has gone out to run for the first time today. He could be available next week.
"Meanwhile Nicklas Bendtner will be another two weeks. I'm desperate to get him back but every week he's still two weeks away unfortunately."

Atlanta: Delta Air Lines is offering free tickets to passengers who are nice to one another. Good humour or a good turn could earn a passenger one of 5000 round-trip tickets on Delta's low-fare carrier Song, which hopes the program will build customer loyalty and generate more revenue for Delta to help stave off the threat of bankruptcy. It has lost more than $US3 billion ($4.3 billion) in three years. Under the program each flight attendant will have four tickets to give away at his or her discretion. The scheme has prompted one cynical industry analyst to hope that the financially strapped airline does not come across too many nice people.

The menstrual cycle is divided into two phases:
- The first phase is also known as the "Follicular Phase" and it starts on the first day of your menstrual period, the day your bleeding or period begins, called cycle day one or CD1, and lasts until ovulation.
- The second phase is known as the "Luteal Phase" and begins on the day after ovulation occurs and continues until the day before your next menstrual bleeding, indicating the start of your next period.
The length of the follicular phase can normally last between 7 and 21 days, but the luteal phase needs to last a minimum of 12 days to ensure that the fertilized egg has enough time for implantation. Having a normal luteal phase is essential for your fertility.

It is hard to believe that we are back at it already. It just doesn't seem as if it has been seven (7) months since we left the floor in Memphis. A lot has taken place in between that time. A number of those things have made us a better more exciting team as we move into the start of the 2007-08 season. Where do I begin? Let's start with the addition of several new faces that are expected to make an immediate impact for us this year. Robert Vaden, Reggie Huffman, Walter Sharpe, Channing Toney, Aaron Johnson, Ed Berrios, Terrence Roderick, and Zisis Sarikopoulos will all hit the floor as Blazers for the first time. Add to that the returning players who gained valuable experience last season - Paul Delaney III, Lawrence Kinnard, Frank Holmes - and you have the recipe for something special if we can all manage to get ourselves on the same page.
Next consider perhaps the most important addition to our program during the off-season, new Strength & Conditioning Coach Lou Deneen. Lou has done a terrific job of "selling" our guys on the importance of getting their work done in the weight room. If you've watched a practice or attended our exhibition opener last night, you should have noticed a big difference in our players' bodies. They look the part physically now and I believe mentally they feel good about themselves. That plays a huge role in a player's psyche and ultimately a team's confidence. Lou came to us by way of Florida International University where he was the Director of the entire Strength & Conditioning Program. He has a wealth of experience and he commands respect as a result. His enthusiasm for what he does is contagious and our guys believe in him and his teaching techniques. That is by far the most important aspect of all.
Our staff has gone through some turnover as well. Kerry Rupp became the new Head Coach at Louisiana Tech. He was replaced by Dusty May who worked with us at Indiana. Tracy Dildy returned to his hometown of Chicago to become Associate Head Coach at the University of Illinois-Chicago. We replaced Tracy with Bob Donewald who has a ton of experience as a coach overseas as well as the NBA. Last night our Director of Basketball Operations from a year ago - Eddie McCarter - returned as the Head Coach of West Alabama. We hired Marco Morcos to replace Coach Mac. Marco was a successful high school & AAU coach in New Jersey before joining the staff. All our new staff members bring something unique to the table and we are working to mesh it all together.
The next big challenge during the off-season was putting together a schedule. Most people think it's easy - just call some schools and get them to come here. I wish it were that easy. There is not a rush of schools knocking down our doors to come to Birmingham for a road game against the Blazers. In fact we called a number of places to tell them we would come there first and the response was "thanks but we're going in a different direction with our scheduling". At the end of the day we put together a pretty solid schedule. We wanted at least 15 home games - we only had 13 last year - and we accomplished that. We wanted a good mix of conferences and we accomplished that as well - Florida State (ACC); Kentucky (SEC); Cincinnati & South Florida (Big East); Wichita State (MVC). Our goal will be to win them all. We particularly want to regain the magic at Bartow Arena and go undefeated here. That will go a long ways towards defining our season. We know however that winning on the road is a very important criterion for reaching the NCAA tournament. That's where all the off-season work should pay its greatest dividends. We're excited to tip things off next weekend at Georgia State. First game; first road game; first opportunity to put on display that competitive Blazers spirit that should propel us towards what could be a very special season. Stay tuned...and welcome back!

Anderson has an unusual background for the job, including things as varied as teaching Montessori and managing the creation of alternative schools in New York City. But her deep passion for righting the wrongs of the education system may come from her own personal background. Anderson was one of three children her parents had before they chose to adopt nine more. Many of her adopted siblings had darker skin and were plucked from tougher backgrounds. She saw how they were treated differently in school regardless of having the same last name and parents.Anderson says when she looks in on the Newark classrooms now, she often sees the faces of her brothers and sisters.
Cami Anderson has many advantages of timing in taking over Newark schools in 2012. She has the full support of Newark's passionately reformist mayor Cory Booker. Booker managed to snag a 100 million dollar grant for the schools from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. That grant has been matched by other, mostly financial interests. The money gives her room to roll and make her first, most important change--eight new principals of varied, unusual backgrounds. She believes no school undergoes a revolution without revolutionary at it's very core. She shuttered 7 schools because she saw them as too hopeless and under-performing to change. And Anderson battled opened the bureaucratic doors for five charter schools.
But it is a tenet of change that some people will cling to the familiar no matter how miserable it is. Some parents don't trust Cami Anderson because she is white, others because she does not come from Newark, others still for making any changes at all or throwing any concept of "better" in their faces. Those huge contributions to the school system are only a one shot wonder; she knows she will need to produce results fast. And Anderson sees education as a shared proposition. Kids completely unwilling can be unreachable. Others can be met where they are at and worked with from there, encompassing the communities they live in, the dangers they dodge to get to school, the negative attitudes towards education, and somehow teachers must discover each child's talents and work with them.
Many describe the difference between privileged and underprivileged kids as "accidents of birth". Cami Anderson is devoting her life to narrowing the vast gap in opportunity offered to kids in bad schools in a worse city. The differences in rich and poor neighborhoods. The differences in skin color. They need help. She is out to prove it is her help. She wants to open a broader world for Newark's children--one that finds their strengths and makes the most of them. She wants to change schools to expect the best from each kid, and graduate kids with skills that can get them into jobs or colleges. Not schools that damn them to the worst future possible: no expectations at all.

BBlongtime's recommendation
I agree it is wonderful product but B&B has decided to only sell it in the 8 oz bottle and discontinue the litre/33.8oz and 2 oz bottles. Seems like they want all of us to move the more expensive products like Curl Concious. I've tried those and the curl is not the same or as natural. My greater fear is they will soon eliminate Leave In as part of the product line all together

Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has taken the club off the market.
For those of you that had forgotten, Ashley had been trying to sell the club after pumping a significant part of his fortune into it yielded only relegation from the Premier League and bile from the Magpies' fans.
Last season, Newcastle's demise was the gift that just kept on giving for sneering, faceless morning football blogs, and stories like those of a shadowy Nigerian consortium trying to buy the club in exchange for a suitcase full of Rolexes didn't help matters much.
However, after talks to sell the club to local businessman Barry Moat broke down over a trifling £20m discrepancy in valuations between the two parties, Ashley has taken the club off the market and given caretaker boss Chris Hughton the manager's job full-time.
One newspaper this morning has speculated that Ashley has 'rekindled his love affair with the club'. However, what's far more likely is that, with Hughton guiding Newcastle to the top of the Championship, Ashley realises that the club is a much more saleable asset back in the Premier League next season.
Newcastle fans have been denied another underwhelming return to St James' Park from Alan Shearer now that the club is not changing hands.
Shearer had reportedly been in line for a return to the club if Moat had completed his planned £80m takeover.
Former England captain Shearer knew he was walking into a no-lose situation at the end of last season when he took charge of a Toon side in free-fall with eight games remaining. Despite winning just one and losing five of those matches, he managed to keep his credibility intact as he ran back, right arm aloft, to the safety of the pundits' sofa.
Shearer admitted he was keen to jump back into the hot seat and piggy-back on all Hughton's good work, but the caretaker boss has now got his just reward by being given his first full-time position on Tyneside.
Hughton's record of eight wins from 14 games has put Newcastle top of the Championship, and Ashley will be giving him £20m to spend in January.
Hughton may have virtually no experience in player recruitment but, let's face it, he can't be worse than Dennis Wise.

Alberto Aquilani will be grateful that the pressure is off him a little as he prepares for his Liverpool debut this evening at the Emirates in the Carling Cup.
Had Liverpool lost their match in a row on Sunday against Manchester United, his belated arrival would have been make or break for Rafael Benitez. As it is, Liverpool won and so everything is hunky dory now.
Of course, that doesn't mean that the Italian won't be under the microscope, perhaps more so because he will be facing Aaron Ramsey and the rest of Arsene Wenger's Get Along Gang.
A Champions League veteran will be expected to make his impact in a fixture which both bosses use to stop deep vein thrombosis setting in among the deeper reaches of their squads.
With what could be a tough trip to Fulham at the weekend and a visit to Lyon that could effectively end their Champions League campaign coming in the next seven days, it's even more imperative that Aquilani's second-half cameo goes off without a hitch. No pressure then son.
- - -
Last night's Carling Cup match between Barnsley and Manchester United was marred by eight fans being arrested following the match, but there was trouble before the match had even ended.
United goalkeeper Ben Foster was prevented from taking a late goal kick by two pitch invaders. Unfortunately, any moral high ground was lost when Foster tried unsuccessfully to tackle one of the goons, who got the biggest cheer of the night when he banged the ball into the net.
Sky, less than a fortnight after they repeatedly showed the face of the Liverpool fan who punched that beach ball on to the pitch against Sunderland, continued their good work by keeping footage of the two Oakwell clowns in their match report throughout the night, giving two more hooligans a chance to record and keep their moment of glory. Well done guys.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Harry (Redknapp)'s had a big clampdown. Until we went out last week, we hadn't had a night out since I arrived. I was well disappointed - I moved to a London club and didn't even get to go out. Not even for a bit of karaoke" - Spurs striker Peter Crouch must be so grateful to the opportunist who snapped him and team-mate Jonathan Woodgate on the dance floor of some trendy night spot or other.
FOREIGN VIEW: "The excellence of the ridiculous" - Marca's rather poetic take on Real Madrid's humiliating 4-0 defeat at suburban minnows Alcorcon in the first leg of their Copa del Rey tie. Madrid put out a side that featured Raul, Guti, Benzema and van der Vaart.
COMING UP: Just when you thought there couldn't possibly be any more Carling Cup-based excitement this week, there's a further triple-whammy of last 16 action tonight. Follow LIVE commentary of Arsenal v Liverpool, Chelsea v Bolton Wanderers and Manchester City v Scunthorpe United.

'48 Ford P/u Emergency brake diagram
I am trying to put a '48 Ford p/u back together but I am in need of a diagram for the emergency brake cables. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I have to say, if you own an old car like that you need to get the shop manual for it. I never thought a thing of these manuals thinking they were for people who didn't know anything. I have found after getting one to work on my Rambler that they are VERY useful and have the one for my Buick in the garage and refer to it all the time now. I highly recommend you get one and that e-brake cable will be all spelled out in it.
Here's one on ebay. 1942-1946-1947 1948 Ford Shop Manual Car and Pickup Truck Repair Service | eBay
I agree with Brian, I have one for each car I own, even the new ones, and the manuals for cars I commonly work on. It always pays.

Fremont-based Solyndra, a manufacturer of thin-film photovoltaic panels, said today that it is dropping its IPO plans, and has submitted a request to withdraw its S-1 with the SEC.

Headliner woes on Model A
Hey guys I seem to be struggling with preping my roof for the headliner. I have a all metal roof with just a couple metal roof bows. I plan on cutting four more from wood to attach to, I have a pattern made but have struggled to get them cut out right. I tried a jigsaw and they sucked so I am starting over with a band saw. I have dyna matted the whole car and I tried using some 1/4 inch lathe and siliconing it to the roof, I'm not sure if there is enough strength in the silicon. I have no other choices in a couple spots but to adhere to the roof panel I'm concerned that if I use something to strong it will heat and cool at a different rate than the metal and distort, anyone else did something similar out there. Thanks for the help
Is this a hot rod, or are you restoring the car to original? First of all, do not adhere anything to the metal roof. The original headliner would have been attached to wooden strips that were part of the roof system. Since you don't have that any more, you need to put in replacements for those wood strips if you intend to put in an original type headliner. If you're doing a "hard" headliner, you will still need wooden bows to support a luan plywood base for the new headliner. In any case, the new wood bows should be cut from 3/4" hardwood plywood so they don't warp. It doesn't matter if your cuts aren't perfect because the headliner will hang from listings sewed to the headliner. The headliner will be about an inch below the wooden bows. Attach the bows to the metal above the doors with some of the new epoxies like some of the products from Evercoat. Is there any of the original wood left in the car?
Thanks for the reply Dan, I building a custom streetrod and have removed all the wood. The car is the Model A in my project journal. I planned on cutting the roof bows like you said and attaching them to a plate above the doors like you said. my problem is in the back, the last foot and a half of the car there is nothing to attach to. Thats why I was looking to adhere to the roof, I do have dynamat between the wood and the sheet metal. I will try to add some pictures tonight of the inside of the car and see if you possibly have some advice. Thanks again
2 Attachment(s)
I just looked at your project journal. I love your car, it looks a little like a sedan delivery now, and I love that look. You're going to be O.K. with the last section being 18" wide, you just need something to attach the headliner to above the rear window. Model "A"s had panels covering the whole rear end, and that's what I'd recommend you do. You will need some kind of framework to hold those panels as well, and that can be made of wood or metal.
Here's what an original "A" looks like in the rear. The panels have seams at the edges of the rear window, and another seam at the rear edge of the rear side windows. There is a separate narrow panel just above the rear window the width of the window.
if its a tudor you might be short on support... i glued/screwed wood strips to 1" square tubes in the roof, i think i have 4 in the top. i made a pattern that fit tight and transfered it to 1/4" ply (luan) you will have to split it down the middle because you cant get it in there. now glue/screw. if you got the tight fit, now your side/back pieces push tight up to the top, and helps hold the top up. before you put the side pieces on permenent, upholster the top.
I ended up cutting the roof bows with a band saw, and screwed them from underneath the support that was left above were the windows used to be. The front bow I gorilla glued in above the door. Then I made a patern and transferred it to 1/4 inch luan plywood. I did just like you mentioned I cut it down the middle and then centered it in the car. I then cut blocks all the way around and gorilla glued it in. It is gettin closer to being ready for a real Upholster which is not me lol. Chubbie you have any pics of yours finished up? Thanks for checking out the build Journal Dan I haved checked out the pics you posted several times in the past few weeks Thanks
no pictures of the finished interior, but i have shots of babe's sit'n in the old A will have to dig some up. the A is in storage an hour from here

But that "horrid" house today looks completely different, and there is quite a story to tell, not only of making something out of very little, but of taking what some might call a foolhardy leap into the unknown.
Imaginative design turns 'horrid house' into quirky family home

1/5 Show-stopper
An impressive, large front door and Juliet balcony bring a touch of class to the property.
2/5 On the map

3/5 Tall story
A once-dark space now makes dramatic use of available natural light.
4/5 Gold fever
Plywood's honey tones give the house a feeling of warmth.
5/5 Tasteful
While the architects adhered to a budget, quality fittings were used.
Back in 2003, before Helen arrived on the scene, two architectural students, George, now 35, and Dutch-Belgian Ewald Van der Straeten, 32, became friends and kept in touch after Ewald took a job in Norway.
Three years later, George went house hunting in Stoke Newington. Every agent laughed at his small budget. Then one showed him a picture of a 670sq ft property that had been poorly converted from an old workshop into a cramped house over three floors.
He only went to look out of desperation. "The moment I saw it, as an architect I knew it was a steal," says George. He agreed to pay the £275,000 price on the spot.
With its tiny footprint and no outside space, except a charming granite-setted carriageway, the brick building had two rooms squeezed on to each of the two lower floors, with an extra bedroom lurking under the roofing eaves. There were doors everywhere, and an awkward spiral staircase in a corner. It was cramped, dark, over-divided and running with condensation, as well as mice. Even the French windows on the first-floor Juliet balcony were rotten.
After a while, Helen moved in and, despite the state of the house, the couple lived there happily for three years, during which they hatched a plot. George would gut and totally rework the space, with Ewald as his partner.
Both George and Ewald were fed-up with working for big companies and never meeting their clients, so they threw in their current jobs, set up an architectural practice and "went for it". To save money, they decided to do all the work themselves, knowing that a hands-on project would teach them building skills, and make a terrific calling card for their new practice.
However, this is where it got risky. To make ends meet, Helen and George ran a food stall called Pomodori in Brick Lane and St Katharine Docks, while Ewald, who had moved back to London, rented a room and worked in a bar.
They drew up and submitted plans. And then the bomb fell. To their horror, they were told that the property wasn't registered as residential. "That was a scary moment," says Ewald with understatement. Unfazed, George proved to the planners that it had been residential for the required four years, and they agreed to a change of use. But that took six months.
Finally, in 2011, they were able to start work. After such a long wait they demolished the whole interior in two weeks, discovering along the way that the condensation problem had been caused by poor insulation and a lack of air bricks.
Then building work started (Helen wisely staying out of the maelstrom). They decided to clad the whole interior in plywood. The warm gold wood was deemed to be not only attractive, but had great sound insulation qualities.
They had a terrific idea to build a detailed plywood staircase rising up through the centre, and all rooms were connected by floor-to-ceiling pocket doors that could be left open, instantly creating an open-plan, airy feel.
For a harmonious look they used engineered oak on the floors, with external-grade solid timber outside. They changed the ordinary front door for a tall, opaque-glazed door - a relatively simple thing that makes everything feel grander and lighter.
Endless deliveries of different grades of plywood started arriving with alarming regularity and, as Ewald points out, everything had to be cut to "within a millimetre".
Often working seven days a week, they used only the tools they could buy from regular DIY shops. "We didn't even have a work bench," laughs George, "we used an old picnic table."
They also made the kitchen and the bathroom. Some things they could not make but, perhaps because they were architects, they would not accept anything second best. When a cheap plastic shower tray arrived they took one look at it and bought an expensive ceramic one.
In the kitchen, though, all the cupboards were simple, ply-covered carcasses, the top a good-quality Corian-type composite that resembled Carrara marble. And, when it came to covering over the thousands of screw holes in the ply, instead of using wood filler, they hand-cut plywood plugs.
"It was a conveyor belt," says Ewald. "George was cutting them, I was fitting and sanding. It took two weeks."
Such attention to detail is what makes all the difference here because in such a small space you can't waste an inch, or bodge anything.
There are cupboards everywhere - there's even a small loft space for duvets, and cellar space for the plumbing. Not a jot is wasted. Ilaria even has her own personal baby-changing cupboard in the top bedroom. And every single cupboard is perfectly cut, sprung and finished.
What's particularly nice about this house is that, at the end of the job, when mere mortals would be utterly exhausted, the two architects found they had fallen in love with their profession again.
After a year and a half, George and Helen moved back in and carried on finishing odds and ends for another year after that. So a job like this isn't something you do on a whim, but the result - quirky, hand-made to the last detail and utterly bespoke - really is rather special.
What it cost
Leasehold house in 2006: £275,000
Cost of materials: £85,000
Estimated value now: £1,050,000

One interesting article from Miami Herald with many informations about Memo :
WWE NXT's Memo Montenegro following in family footsteps
By Jim Varsallone The Miami Herald
Teaming with brother Alberto Del Rio on Oct. 26 in South Florida
By Jim Varsallone
A family first, WWE NXT up-n-comer Memo Montenegro will team with his older brother, WWE superstar Alberto Del Rio, during a WWE NXT show on Friday, Oct. 26 at the West Palm Beach National Guard Armory.
"I'm really, really excited about this," Montenegro said, "and I can't wait. Even training, I never did something like this, a tag team with him, but I think everything is going to be very good, because we're brothers. We know each other."
Montenegro grew up in Mexico supporting and watching his famous wrestling family. Dad is Mexican legend Dos Caras, and his uncle is WWE Hall of Famer Mil Mascaras, an international superstar. Del Rio competed successfully in Mexico as Dos Caras Jr., sporting a mask like his father and uncle, before joining the WWE family and trading the eleborate headware for elaborate vehicles.
"I think he will have a classic 1965 Mustang on Friday [in West Palm Beach]," Montenegro said. "He asked if I wanted to ride with him. I said of course."
Ricardo Rodriguez will be announcing them to the ring or at least Del Rio. The brothers will face WWE NXT superstars Kassius Ohno (formerly Chris Hero), who has Punk-like tendencies, and the deranged South African Leo Kruger.
The match will not only be the first time the brothers team together but also the first time WWE NXT, formerly FCW, visits West Palm Beach.
A family friendly environment, WWE NXT offers contests, giveaways, raffles, autograph signings and photo ops with talent. Del Rio will sign and pose for photos as well. The show will feature eight matches including WWE NXT champ Seth Rollins, Bo Dallas, Ashley Charlotte Flair, Briley Pierce, Roman Reigns, Richie Steamboat, Bray Wyatt and other superstars and divas.
WWE NXT is the official developmental system for the future stars of WWE, and Montenegro wants to develop into one. He felt his passion early in life. Surrounded by it, he loved it.
"Every time I was in the arena with my dad, I wanted to be a wrestler. That was my dream as a child," Montenegro said. "So when I was 15-years-old, I told me dad I wanted to become a wrestler."
When Montenegro told his father of his career choice, Caras said first get a degree. Montenegro listened, earning a degree in Mexico as a veterinarian.
"About eight years after I [first] asked him, I said to my dad, 'This is my diploma; this is my degree. Can I be a wrestler now?,'" Montenegro recalls, "and my dad said, 'Yea, you can do whatever you want to do. I just wanted to protect your future.'"
Montenegro, 24, began training roughly two years ago in Mexico. Del Rio encouraged him to train in Florida, grasping the American style, a more lucrative style if successful.
What did Montenegro's father think of his decision to go American.
"My dad loved it," Montenegro said. "In Mexico, it's a good business, but here it's bigger, and it's a bigger opportunity for me. My dad said in the future if something happens, 'you'll have the background working in the states, and it'll be easier for you to work in Japan, Europe and even in Mexico.'
"My dad likes that I'm following in the steps of my brother. My brother followed in the steps of my dad, and I'm following in the steps of my brother."
Montenegro is very close with his brother.
"When he decided to come here, that was a little difficult for me," Montenegro said. "I was in Mexico doing my studies, but I called him a lot. He is my best friend."
Montenegro learned from his father, uncles, brother and family friend, Pablo Marquez, a CCW indie wrestler who trains talent in South Florida. Marquez worked for the original ECW, IWA, Michinoku Pro, WWC and briefly in WWE as Babu.
"Pablo is one of my good friends in Florida," Montenegro said. "I appreciate everything he did for me."
Montenegro got a tryout with WWE NXT, then known as FCW, based in Tampa.
"I almost started wrestling in Mexico for CMLL," Montenegro said. "but then I spoke with John Laurinaitis [who was the WWE's senior vice president of talent relations], and he told me they were going to sign me.
"There's a really big difference between the Mexican style and the American style. There's more psychology in the American style. So to prepare, I also started working with American wrestlers in Mexico."
Montenegro is 6-1, 225 pounds.
"My brother is 6-4, and he weighs more than me," Montenegro said, "but for me I have good size here in America. I try to mix a little of the Mexican style with the American style. I do high-risk moves and combine it with the American style, so that helps me a lot."
Montenegro loves animals almost as much as wrestling.
"I had two dogs, a cat, fish, and a lot of animals growing up," he chuckled.
His father practiced what he preached as he earned a degree, too, in health and fitness, becoming a chiropractor.
Good to have a chiropractor in the family with all the bumps and bruises, aches and pains from wrestling.
Montenegro is learning to adapt and improving each day. What is it like training for WWE with WWE NXT's staff?
"It's an incredible experience," Montenegro said. "In the three, four months I've been here, I've already learned so much. I can't believe how much I've learned so far. I want to thank Bill DeMott, Norman Smiley, Joe Mercury, Ricky Steamboat, because they really help me and tell me my mistakes to learn from and improve and get better."
Norman Smiley, who grew up in Miami, is best known as Screamin Norman Smiley (with Ralphus) in WCW, but in Mexico, he had a successful run as Black Magic.
"I remember in 2003 that was his last match in Mexico," Montenegro said. "I know a lot of the career of Norman. I have a good relationship with him. We'll talk after my match about my match. He's my coach, and he's my friend. "
Montenegro can check one off the bucket list after Friday's show. Another would be to team with his brother and father in a six-man tag. Never say never. That occurred in FCW for the Rhodes family (Cody, Dustin, Dusty).
"That's another dream match, being with my dad and my brother," Montenegro said.
Montenegro lives in South Tampa. He's not fond of the weather but enjoys the city.
Dos Caras, 61, competes on special occasions in Mexico and Japan for legends' matches.
"He really likes it when some promoter calls him," Montenegro said. "For him, staying at home is like being in prison."
Montenegro records his matches and sends them to his father, which pleases him.
Montenegro's uncle, Mil Mascaras, is in very good shape.
"I want to be like him at his age [70] in his shape, if I reach that year," said Montenegro, who watched from backstage when his uncle was inducted by his brother into the WWE Hall of Fame during WrestleMania Week in March in Miami. "That was one of the best precious moments in the career of my family...Watching my brother inducting my uncle was beautiful."
Montenegro mentioned that Mil Mascaras was like the Hulk Hogan of Mexico, and Dos Caras was like Macho Man Randy Savage, another main guy. Mascaras had the charisma, and Caras had the aggressive, wrestling experience. Mascaras combined the lucha and American styles, bridging the two successfully to break barriers in Japan and the United States. A man of 1,000 marks, he was very popular no matter where he wrestled.
"When they are together, it's like the big combination in Mexico," Montenegro said.
Sicodelico, another famous Mexican wrestler, is also his uncle, and his cousins, Sicodelico Jr. and El Hijo del Sicodelico, expand that wrestling family.
WWE NXT conducts its inaugural show in West Palm Beach on Friday, Oct. 26 with a special guest appearance by WWE superstar Alberto Del Rio who will sign autographs prior to bell time. The event is at the West Palm Beach National Guard Armory with bell time 7:30 p.m.
VIP ticket holders receive access to the autograph session featuring Del Rio at 6 p.m. Other ticket levels will receive access at 6:30 p.m. WWE NXT superstars and divas will also sign autographs and pose for photos.
Eight big matches are on the wrestling card, featuring the WWE NXT superstars and divas. WWE NXT, formerly FCW, is the official developmental system for the future stars of WWE. With contests, giveaways, raffles and more, it's fun for the family and best bang for your buck.
Tickets range from $10 to $35 and will be available online at
and participating Buddy's Home Furnishings locations. The West Palm Beach National Guatrd Armory is at 3193 Gun Road, West Palm Beach, Fla. 33406.

We learn that :
- He wanted to become a wrestler since he was 15.
- He has a veterinarian degree.
- He fought regularly in USA, but never in Mexico.
- Pablo Marquez trained him.
- Montenegro is 6-1, 225 pounds.
- He lives in South Tampa.
and why he chose USA over Mexico.
We also learn about the major differences between american style and mexican style. It's very interesting.
Former gimmick :
He was trained by Pablo Marquez, so probably by CCW Body Slam University in Ft. Lauderdale or by Marquez's own wrestling school intilted Main Event Training Center. I think that Memo fought in CCW. I will look for his former matches and gimmicks.
Can you help me ?

Santaroga seemed to be nothing more than a prosperous farm community. But there was something...different...about Santaroga.
Santaroga had no juvenile delinquency, or any crime at all. Outsiders found no house for sale or rent in this valley, and no one ever moved out. No one bought cigarettes in Santaroga. No cheese, wine, beer, or produce from outside the valley could be sold there. The list went on and on and grew stranger and stranger.
Maybe Santaroga was the last outpost of American individualism. Maybe they were just a bunch of religious kooks....
Or maybe there was something extraordinary at work in Santaroga. Something far more disturbing than anyone could imagine.

The list of benefits given to celebrities seems endless. They never wait in line at clubs, they always get the best table in the restaurant, and if you're Brad Pitt… you get free helicopter lessons while your significant other films a movie.
As Angelina Jolie prepares to film her new movie "Wanted" in beautiful Prague, Czech Republic, she is making plans to take Brad Pitt with her. In order to keep Pitt occupied during those arduously long filming days, Jolie is arranging for complimentary helicopter flying lessons for the Fight Club stud.
In addition, the producers have also rented the pair a massive mansion complete with a helipad. They are even importing Pitt's prized Bugatti car. Talk about star power!
Jolie got bosses of "Wanted" to agree by telling them that the only way they would get her to replace Halle Berry in the action flick, would be by agreeing to her demands. A source also told the Sun that Jolie knew that her demands would be met, given that she and beau Brad are the current king and queen of Hollywood.
For such celebrity power, any producer would do whatever it takes. "These two can have whatever they want — and they and the film company know it," the Sun quoted the source, as saying.

We are a professional company who learned the real SEO techniques by practicing and applying it to our own and our associates businesses. The hurdles we faced initially developing a strong SEO team and getting right information made us believe that it is our ethical obligation to pass this onto whoever wants to do website promotion and wants the right people at first time instead of experimenting with amateurs and online scammers which not only eats up the budget organizations are putting for online marketing, but at the same time makes it difficult for professional companies like us to regain the trust of such decent clients.

According to the East London and West Sussex Guardian, West Ham are plotting a surprise move for Swansea City striker Michu.
The once-capped Spain international proved to be an astute purchase for the Welsh outfit in summer 2012, going on to claim 18 goals in his debut Premier League season.
But a combination of recurring injuries and the sensational rise of Wilfried Bony saw him struggle for fitness and form last term, netting just twice all year. Resultantly, the 28 year-old is verging upon 'forgotten man' status at the Liberty Stadium.
And with Sam Allardyce charged with the task of evolving the Hammers' attritional style this summer, the 6 foot 1 forward, famed for his tidy football and ability to drop into midfield, is seen as a perfect acquisition at just £6million.
But it will unlikely be the Upton Park gaffer's final acquisition of the summer, so here's FIVE players that could soon follow Michu to East London – some inspired by his arrival, others more coincidental.
Michu could soon find himself joined at Upton Park by Swansea team-mate Neil Taylor, with West Ham believed to be one of the clubs in the mix to sign the disillusioned defender:
Sunderland, Tottenham, Southampton, West Ham and Hull want Swansea's Neil Taylor http://t.co/xgBg30tBmf
— Off The Post (@offthepost) May 12, 2014
The Wales international earned widespread acclaim for his performances during the Welsh outfit's inaugural Premier League campaign.
But since breaking his ankle in September 2012, the left-back has failed to reclaim his first team place from former understudy Ben Davies.
Resultantly, Walesonline.com claim the 25 year-old will seek pastures new this summer unless he's given assurances of first team football.
But having rejected a £5million bid from Fulham in January, the Swans appear to determined to hold out for a lucrative offer.
According to the Express, West Ham have emerged as surprise candidates to sign coveted Premier League target Yevhen Konolpyanka.
Daily Express claim West Ham are hoping to beat Tottenham and others to the signature of Dnirpo winger Konoplyanka. #THFC

The three-time Ukrainian Player of the Year has been in sensational form for Dnipro this season, especially in the Europa League…
…and also netted this wonder strike against England at Wembley back in 2012:
The 24 year-old winger comes with a £12million release clause, but also on the radars of Manchester United, Spurs and Liverpool, the Hammers face stiff competition for his signature.

According to Mirror Football, West Ham are eying a move for River Plate prodigy Eder Balanta:
West Ham plot transfer of Colombian Eder Balanta from River Plate: The young defender is being watched by a… http://t.co/IQlAy14N1L
— Football-News (@Bot_Football) June 21, 2014
The 21 year-old defender has thoroughly impressed since his debut for the Argentine side in 2012, making 30 appearances since and muscling his way into the Colombian national team.
He's described on FIFA's website as "left-footed, powerfully built, strong in the air and a fearless tackler … blessed with skill and speed."
And apparently he's a beast on Football Manager…

— West Ham Central (@WestHam_Central) June 22, 2014
So apparently were scouting Eder Alvarez Balanta. Football manager legend haha.
— Liam⚽ (@LiamAddisonWHU) June 22, 2014
Recent speculation suggests although West Ham haven't made a bid, a £6million offer would be enough to convince River Plate to sell.
River Plate have said that they have not received a bid from West Ham for Eder Balanta, but a £6m bid would be enough to open talks. #WHUFC

According to Portuguese site A Bola, West Ham have made a bid for Sporting Lisbon's Islam Slimani, having initially tried to sign him on a loan deal in January.
Trabzonspor and West Ham have made bids for Algerian star and Sporting striker Islam Slimani. Sporting want €8m. [A Bola]
— Jan Hagen (@PortuBall) June 24, 2014
The 6 foot 1 striker has proved a decent cameo signing for the Portuguese capital outfit since joining them from Algerian side Belouizdad last summer, finding eight goals in ten league starts and sixteen substitute outings. Here's the highlights of the Algeria international's debut season with Leoes:
The 26 year-old certainly seems a good fit for the Hammers' direct style, boasting significant power and ability in the air. He's shown strong form at the World Cup too, finding one goal and one assist in one start for Algeria, including this goal against South Korea:
But recent speculation suggests interest from the East Londoners will be rivalled by Stoke City:

It's no secret that West Ham are keen to acquire the services of Gareth Barry this summer, with the Daily Mail documenting Sam Allardyce's interest in the former England international back in May:
West Ham have joined the race to sign Gareth Barry, who is out-of-contract. #WHUFC (Daily Mail)
— Football Galaxy (@FootbalIGalaxy) May 27, 2014
The Premier League veteran is now a free agent after officially leaving Manchester City, and was in sensational form on loan to Everton last season:
Here's Alan Hansen signing Barry's praises on Match of the Day following an impressive performance against Norwich last term:
Boasting a mixture of physicality and technical quality, the 33 year-old would be an ideal signing to evolve the Hammers' much-maligned attritional brand of football.
But there will be significant competition for his signature, with Arsenal linked and the Toffees keen to sign Barry on a permanent deal:
Gareth Barry has told Everton he will make a decision on his future next month amid new interest from Arsenal. (Source: talkSPORT)

17x9 let me know what you think
This is a discussion on new rims within the Member Show-Off & Photography forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; 17x9 let me know what you think...
since you're asking for opinions:
i really dont like them. the fact that the spokes look like they come out passed the lip of the wheel just looks extremely odd.
your friendly, neighborhood subaru girl
abbigale : 06 impreza wrx tr: cobb stage II
haha cheapest rims i could find and better then stock
I have the same opinion. The 9 is to wide of a wheel and will create issues down the road, also the fact that they are 17s and 9" wide makes the tire look so big they appear to be the same size or smaller than stock.. But thats just my opinion, and it could just be the pic.
Lead Wrench @ WTF Tuning, LLC
dunno, I like it.. but looks like it might rub a little when pushed hard.
How does it handle? What size tires?
OBP 2010 5dr *traded*
My name is Shawn, I'm a Devout Practicalist and I'm addicted to flat4's
This page has had 1,666 visits
There 245 45 17 and I had to roll my fenders right now it rubs on the passager side if I throw it into one I'm gonna be getting coils
I think it's a touch on the small side, maybe an 18? But i think its not a bad rim. i think rota makes a similar looking rim that i've always liked.
That second pic makes them look 10x better. What brand are they?
i was gonna get the rota dpt but i hate waiting for stuff so i found the rims i got now. there xxr 522 there 111$. my first picture was a cell phone one then i used my camera. the rims arnt bad. rota suck anyway so its not like i got any worce.
Ya know... When I look at that second picture really quickly it looks like a picture of a GT-R. The color red is the same and the rims you have now kind of look like their stock rims.
i love my red car. and the gt r are like 19s arnt they??
Probably... I really don't know for sure though. I really like seeing Red Wrx's. Congrats!
I personally like them i think they would look pretty good going down the road as well. Ive always been a fan of the meaty tire look. Im happy for you and your new purchase!

How are you?
How are you?
How ARE you?
How....are you.
You get sick of hearing those words from people after someone dies.
I know I'm guilty of doing it to others, and please don't get me wrong, I appreciate everyone's concern.
It just becomes the single hardest question to answer.
How am I?
Let's see.
In the last year and a half, my mother-in-law died, my father battled health issues for months before he died, sometimes in excruciating pain, then my husband's uncle, his father's twin brother, passed away suddenly.
I want to stay at home in bed, with the covers pulled up over my head. I don't want to go to work, I don't want to go shopping, hell, most days I don't even feel like taking a shower. (But I do)
Sometimes I'm fine, sometimes I'm not. It depends on the day, the hour, sometimes even the minute.
You can only take it as it comes.
But, I have realized that it's ok to laugh, it's ok to feel good...and it's also ok to feel bad, to suddenly burst into tears for no reason.
It's ok to think that none of this stuff matters in the end.
With all that said, you have to move on, you have to life your life as best as you can, and in that, you honor the ones you have loved and lost.
So, right now. I'm ok. Thank you for asking.

The cognate enormity in my youth was 'The New Math'. 'The New Math', I believe, held that, rather than learning to count, it would be more elegant to teach Johnny and Jane about the wonderful interchangeability of numbers.
Diversity, a similar child of the well intentioned, holds that rather than imbuing youngsters with the values and history of their own culture, they should be taught that all cultures are equal, and that any expression of local preference is ethnocentrism or racism, or something just-not-being-done. And, in the name of this new toy, both children and ideas of different provenance are dragged together and all are invited to exclaim: 'See, we're all alike!'
All right, but: anyone who ever tried to make a match between two folks who are perfect for each other knows the immediate and shocking rejection such efforts reap.
On the other hand, take two gents in a road accident. They get out of their cars screaming obscenities at each other. One fellow is black, the other white, tant mieux; now they are not merely fools, but black or white fools. And on they rant until each discovers on the other's windscreen the decal of the Model Railroader's Association. Now, when the cops arrive the two quondam assailants are discovered exchanging numbers and planning to have dinner on Saturday night. For propinquity may be enforced, but affection cannot.
And, in the United States we, in our sports, have had affection for the notion of whacking the other guy in the head and taking his possessions (basketball), land (football) or consciousness (boxing) away from him. That's what we like.
Soccer, that international sport, has been attempted and is making some inroads, but it is classed, in the main, along with overlong loaves of bread and soft cheese in the general American Consciousness. For we are still very much a frontier people (when I was born there were, still alive, many veterans of the Civil War; and, at their birth, many were alive who had fought in the Revolution), and our culture favours the frontier sports.
American football seems to resemble soccer in that one scores by putting the ball through the opponent's goal; but football, truly is about land. The Settlers want to move the line of scrimmage Westward, the Native Americans want to move it East.
Boxing, a reduction of capitalism, is about whacking the other guy in the head until he passes out, or whacking him sufficiently in the body to cause him to lower his arms so that one may whack him in the head.
Each culture has its own form of staged combat, evolved from its particular method of street fighting and cleaned up for presentation as a spectacle, eg savate, Cornish wrestling, karate, kung-fu.
The styles reflect those principles of actual combat the culture has, autonomically, evolved and endorsed. In France you can kick the fellow in the head, in Thailand you can knee him and in the US all you could do was use your fists. But wait: that country that might attempt but never would love soccer has embraced globalism and expressed that affection in the only way it knows, by paying for it. Americans are in the process of abandoning boxing for mixed martial arts.
What is mixed martial arts? It is professional, staged combat that, rather than specifying (as per culture) those few things one may do (strike only with the fists/feet/knees etcetera) specifies those few things one may not (kick to the groin, strike to the back of the neck, etcetera), and leaves the opponents to bring to the ring whatever game they've got. The mixed martial arts fighter, thus, will and must school himself in the forms evolved out of many cultures: Britain and the US for boxing, Japan and Brazil for jiu jitsu, Thailand for Muay Thai, Okinawa and China for karate.
Here, goodness and gracious, capitalism meets globalism, and the question (celebrated in 47 novels by Anthony Trollope) of free trade versus protection is addressed in a canvas ring. For, no, America cannot truly embrace soccer until the blood fever of the frontier has passed and each man is content to merely 'pass it around'. Some might call such a day 'The Millennium', but America shies away from the socialist solution, while the rest of the world scoffs but votes with its wallets to adopt our culture.
For affection cannot be forced, but will be expressed; and a hundred years of well meaning 'games of world peace' have done less for international understanding than the emergence of mixed martial arts, wherein each country is going to take its best guys, and they are going to take their best game and their best understanding of the other guy's game into the ring, and we shall see what we shall see.
Mixed martial arts was invented by Brazilians, whose families had been trained by the Japanese. Those Brazilians came to the US, where their invention was bought out, gussied up and presented to the world, which found it good.
It's a tough world and practice will always trump theory (save in the universities). In practice we, in the world, must do business with each other. How will this global economy evolve? Watch mixed martial arts, the true marketplace of ideas.
