I spotted this M 1941 Carcano being carried at the Kalamazoo, Mi show today and was able to buy it off the gent who had it. It is a FAT 41. SN: E 29xx. It has set triggers. The Carcano homepage mentions set triggers as something that might be found on a Carcano but it does not go into history or details about it. There are no unusual markings nor the crossed rifles/bullseye mark found on some carcanos. Does anyone know the story on this? How to tell if it is original? Value over a standard M1941?

Neatguns there were no M91/41's that were made with set triggers that I know of. The M91 long rifle was made with set triggers for use in military shooting matches and some of these were sold to a commercial company who sporterized them and resold these to the public. I suspect someone removed the trigger assembly from one of the sporterized rifles and installed them on your M91/41. I could be wrong about this so one of the other Carcano collectors with knowledge about set triggers on a M91/41 may want to comment.

Zebra Press recently published a guide to buying and selling on the South African marketplace, bidorbuy
(12 August 2009) Even South Africans who have never used the internet for transactions that involve money can now confidently trade with other people on bidorbuy, with the help of a book recently published by Zebra Press.
The book, entitled Your Guide to Buying and Selling on bidorbuy, is the first printed guide to the ins and outs of the oldest and most successful South African online marketplace, bidorbuy.co.za. "Our intention was to bring awareness of the opportunities to be found on bidorbuy to the people who may not even have an internet connection at present", says bidorbuy managing director Andy Higgins.
Internet access in South Africa, now available to about 4.6 million people, is expected to double within five years. Higgins is confident that many of the new internet users will be drawn to bidorbuy, which already has a 400,000-strong community. "Some people will come in search of bargain-buys. Others will come in order to earn some extra cash by selling whatever it is they have for sale", he says and adds: "Judging from our ten-year long experience, quite a few will make bidorbuy their place of employment and their primary source of income".
Your Guide to Buying and Selling on bidorbuy takes readers through the online trading process step by step. In 256 pages, it shows them how to register on bidorbuy, how to buy safely and how to sell at a profit. Screenshots from the bidorbuy website accompany the text. Key concepts are further illustrated by means of real-life examples and case studies.

I'm currently having a new home built with a full daylight basement. Two walls are poured, reinforced concrete with professionally applied water proofing. The basement slab is very smooth and level. Two of the walls are framed with 2' x 6's.
My question...I would like to use the basement for about a year with the poured concrete walls exposed until it cures properly, and hopefully, wicks off most of its moisture. During that one year waiting period would painting the floor to make it a more desriable area be a good idea? I plan after a year to put down ceramic tile in the bathroom areas and kitchen...and berber carpet in the rest of the area.
Am I inviting trouble for the laying of future ceramic tile by painting the floors for termporary use?
I wouldn't paint it. Look into staining and/or sealing.
I wouldn't do anything to the slab if you plan on tile. No need to seal it in my opinion. Definately don't paint it.
I agree with that.
I agree that it really not necessary to use the space...however the OP wanted to "make the space more desirable" and raw concrete is not desirable.
A quick seal makes the concrete cleaner and easier to sweep.

If you are in search of a job as an apprentice, then you have to learn how to write an attractive apprentice cover letter. A cover letter introduces you to your prospective employer whilst highlighting most relevant skills, trainings and why you are specifically interested in working for a particular company.
Companies are in search of apprentices, internees or trainees who are trustworthy, passionate and eager to learn new things quickly. Include these traits in your cover letter to highlight that you are the right candidate for the given position.
● Keep in mind that an Apprenticeship Cover Letter is not a job application – it's just a short and precise letter that must always be attached/enclosed with any resume, folio or any other application document that you send to a prospective company. The key purpose and aim of any apprentice cover letter is to persuade the recruiter to read your resume and invite you in an interview.
● Address your letter to a specific person (not 'To Whom It May Concern' or Dear Sir / Madam) and mention an exact job title.
● Never send a standard, 'one-size-fits-all' letter to all companies.
Look at the following apprentice cover letter sample in order to create your own cover letter. This sample is specific to Information technology. You may modify it as per your profession and requirements.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX falls as financials weigh, Fed rally fades
(Adds details on specific stocks, updates prices)
* TSX down 43.03 points, or 0.29 percent, at 14,754.15
* Half of the TSX's 10 main groups move lower
TORONTO, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Friday as investors pulled back after a strong rally this week following the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to hold rates steady and more cautious outlook.
The five most influential weights on the index were its biggest banks. The financial sector jumped in the prior two sessions after the Fed left the door open for a rate hike in December even as it indicated a less aggressive rise in rates next year and in 2018.
At 10:21 a.m. EDT (1421 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 43.03 points, or 0.29 percent, at 14,754.15.
It remains on track for a 2 percent weekly gain.
Royal Bank of Canada fell 0.6 percent to C$81.42 and Bank of Nova Scotia lost 0.7 percent to C$70.60.
The financials group, which accounts for 35 percent of the index's weight, slipped 0.6 percent overall. Continued...

Of the regions of the United States profiled in T
As author Mark Kurlansky points out in his introduction to the book, some recipes and passages written for the America Eats section on the South refer to "darkies," and the speech of African Americans was often presented in the vernacular, while white Southerners were quoted in standard English regardless of their accents and dialect.
Still, it is one of the most interesting sections in terms of food traditions, and contains the writing of two of the most celebrated writers to work for the project, Eudora Welty and Zora Neale Hurston. Welty, who wrote about Mississippi foods such as jellied apples, lye hominy and mint juleps, soon went on to win the O. Henry Prize for one of her short stories.
Hurston already had a successful writing career, including the publication of her classic novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, but took a job with the Federal Writing Project after going broke. Despite her experience, she was given a low-level job because, according to Kurlansky, it was "unthinkable to place a black woman in a supervisory position over whites." She wrote a short piece about a mythical land African Americans called Diddy-Wah-Diddy that was supposed to have endless amounts of good food, especially barbecue. Hurston wrote:
Its geography is that it is 'way off somewhere,'" and it is " a place of no work and no worry for man and beast. ... If a traveler gets hungry all he needs to do is to sit down on the curbstone and wait and soon he will hear something hollering 'Eat me!' 'Eat me!' 'Eat me!' and a big baked chicken will come along with a knife and fork stuck in its side.One article includes recipes from African-Americans in Mississippi, including an explanation of how Southern blacks made coffee out of ground persimmon seeds, blackberries or corn bran. Persimmons were also turned into beer, which sounds like something one of the microbreweries should investigate. Other pieces describe North Carolina chitterling (or "chitlin") struts, where fried or boiled pig intestines were served with all the fixings—cole slaw, pickle, corn pone and hard cider—followed by a "shoo round strut," or dancing.
A piece about Virginian foods includes descriptions of chess pie, a custardy dessert, and Brunswick stew, a hunter's stew traditionally made with squirrels—or chickens, the author writes, if squirrels are not in season. Yankee/Californian that I am, I had no idea squirrels had a season. As Kurlansky explains, in the South, squirrels were (and to a lesser extent, still are) considered wild game. I know an urban gardener or two who wouldn't mind if open season were called on the furry nuisances.
Check back soon to read about the food traditions of the western half of the United States.

1998 z31.9 auto shift cover loose.
Hi, slowly getting to grips with the little roadster, have the car booked into get all the oils changed. I did the motor oil myself, but its getting cold here and wont have time to do the tranny and the diff oils myself, so booked it in.
now for this post question:
The cover for the auto transmission shifter in the cockpit is loose and sits nice and flush when in park, but when in drive or shifting between 1,2 or 3 its loose. The front or back of it comes up. Ive tried to push it down, but it seems the shifter is set about 5-7 mills to high on the chassy, thus making the plastic shifter cover bulge and dislodge when shifting.
anyone come across this before, is there an easy fix?
Any chance you can post a photo of it?
Pics arrived.
That's in park where it fits all snug.
And this us when it's shifting.
And from the side on.
Any idea or help would be great!!
Cheers Vanne.
There's only four tabs that hold the plate on. Any chance you can pop off the plate and take a pic of the underside of the plate and also the shifter mechanism?
Be careful as there are wires for the gear nmbers lights.
Forgot to ask if your gear selection light works correctly. As you move the shift lever to a different gear, does the light move to the correct gear?
It's possible someone had the cover off and did not get the light sliding mechanism over the shift lever. This would push the light mechanism up under the cover at the back popping up the cover. If this is the case, you need to fix this as soon as possible, because you're damaging the light mechanism. You can't buy parts for the cover. You have to buy the entire cover.
You mean as you shift there is a light that changes? Besides the plastic non light indicator that slides with the shifter as in the pics it's orange little square? Is there a dash indicator what gear your in as well?
The plastic non light indicator is lighted when your headlights are on. No dash indicator.
Here are some pics from below the trans cover.
I just had a quick
Play and it seems all the wires and plugs are in proper sockets. So I am lost why this doesn't sir right and is pushed up from underneath when shifting.. Any help would be great!
Oh and all the lights and all the other stuff works just great. It's just the annoying shift lifts up the cover.
I don't see anything out of place and the light assembly seems to be on correctly. The base of the shift lever (where it splits) at the bottom could lift the panel up if the shift lever is loose at the base.
Check if the base assembly is loose. Check the rear bolt on the base assembly and see if someone accidentally installed a washer, etc. under it lifting the rear of the assembly too high.
nope, base of essembly is tight as a nuns.... anyways, you get the drift. :) i also checked if there was a wayward washer underneath the essembly, and there isnt. *sigh* nything else you can think of. By the way Monolith, thanks so much for the input so far :D
just thinking, it looks like it touches on the middle top of that yellow thing as it shifts, if felt it and its also tight as, what is that thing?, maybe i can loosen it and sit it elsewhere if it doesnt do much specific...?
The yellow thing is your gear selector for the transmission. It has copper traces with copper fingers to electrically tell the transmission computer what gear you have selected with the shifter. Not something you really want to move around.
Have you looked at your console overall to see if maybe someone sat on it and crushed it down? That's about the only thing I can think of at this time. Try pushing the console upward near where the shift selector is to give a little more clearance.
thanks Mono, il head down to my garage and give that a look over/shot.....
rightoh, had another look and you know that metal guide rail that the red gear indicator follows, well its bent from being pushed down onto the top of that yellow gear selector thingy. so its definitially rubbing.. but why.. also had a look, the center console is exatctly where its supposed to be, its all bolted down nice and tight.
just wondering maybe, just maybe my cover is deformed from sun? is it supposed to be dead flat? (mine is) or concave? id recon it only rubs by 2 mill at most...
Hello guys, i am new to the Forums and i was looking for some help. I have a 96 z3 and i too am having problems with the shift selector; not only does it get loose when im shifting from drive-park etc., the little orange gear selector does not move anymore. Does anybody know if i can fix it or do i have to get a new one?

Accession of Bosnia and Herzegovina to NATO
|This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
Bosnia and Herzegovina
The accession of Bosnia and Herzegovina to NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) has been under negotiations since 2010.
Bosnia and Herzegovina joined the Partnership for Peace program of NATO in 2006, and signed an agreement on security cooperation in March 2007.[1] The nation began further cooperation with NATO within their Individual Partnership Action Plan in January 2008.[2] Bosnia then started the process of Intensified Dialogue at the 2008 Bucharest summit.[3] The country was invited to join the Adriatic Charter of NATO aspirants on September 25, 2008.[4] Then in November 2008, a joint announcement from the Defence Minister and the NATO Mission Office in Sarajevo suggested that Bosnia and Herzegovina could join NATO by 2011 if it continues with the reforms made in the defence-area so far.[5]
In January 2009, Defence Minister Selmo Cikotić again confirmed Bosnia's interest in seeking a Membership Action Plan (MAP) at the 2009 summit, with membership by 2012 at the latest.[6] In February 2009 The Defence Minister of BiH Selmo Cikotic presented some poll numbers on NATO-membership: 70% of the country supports NATO-membership; however while 89% of the Federation Entity supports NATO-membership, only in 44% RS-entity did.[citation needed] While the country did not receive an MAP at the April 2009 summit in Strasbourg–Kehl, Stuart Jones, an official of the US State Department, said on a September 2009 visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina that NATO was going to look at the possibilities for them to receive one in a December 2009 summit, repeating strong US support for the possibility. Then on October 2, 2009, Haris Silajdžić, the Bosniak Member of the Presidency, announced an official application for Membership Action Plan. On April 22, 2010, NATO agreed to launch the Membership Action Plan for Bosnia and Herzegovina, but with certain conditions attached.[7] Turkey is thought to be the biggest supporter of Bosnian membership, and heavily influenced the decision.[8]
Bosnia and Herzegovina has yet to fulfil one of the main conditions to enter the alliance: the transfer of the registration of 63 military facilities from the local level to the central government.[9] As of June 2016, 21 have been fully transferred.[10] The Republika Srpska, the Serbian political subdivision of Bosnia, has opposed the move and refused to transfer their properties. A Bosnia court has ruled that it must transfer the properties to the Bosnian government, but this has been challenged to the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[11]
The 1995 NATO bombing of Bosnia and Herzegovina targeted the Bosnian Serb Army and together with international pressure led to the resolution of the Bosnian War and the signing of the Dayton Agreement in 1995. Since then, NATO has led the Implementation Force and Stabilization Force, and other peacekeeping efforts in the country.

Fact Sheet for the New College Football Playoff Selection Committee
Published October 16th, 2013
Loading Video...
College Football Playoff Selection Committee Fact Sheet
Mission. The committee's task will be to select the best teams, rank the teams for inclusion in the playoff and selected
other bowl games and, then assign the teams to sites.
Principles. The management committee has charged the selection committee to select the teams using a process that
distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering:
Conference championships won
Strength of schedule
Head-to-head competition
Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory)
Other relevant factors such as key injuries that may have affected a team's performance during the season or
likely would affect its postseason performance
Voting Process. The voting process will include a series of ballots through which the committee members first select a
pool of teams to be considered, then rank those teams. Individual ballots will be compiled into a composite ranking. Each
committee member independently will evaluate an immense amount of information during the process. This evaluation will
bring about individual qualitative and quantitative opinions that will inform each member's vote.
Recusal. Committee members directly associated with any team under consideration during the selection process will
recuse themselves from any deliberations associated with that team, and will not participate in any votes involving that
Number of Teams to Be Ranked. It is planned that the committee will rank 25 teams. If no champion of a non-contract
conference is among that group of 25 teams, then the committee will rank additional teams.
Evaluation Process. It is planned that a committee member or members will be assigned to monitor each conference—
generally not a conference where the member is employed—to present a comprehensive report on that conference's teams
to the full committee.
Metrics. No one single metric will be identified as paramount over all other data.
Assigning Teams to Semifinal Sites. When assigning the games to the semifinals sites, the committee will place the top
seeds at the most advantageous sites, weighing criteria such as convenience of travel for its fans, home-crowd advantage
or disadvantage and general familiarity with the host city and its stadium.
Meeting Schedule. The committee will meet in person beginning at mid-season and will meet several times to produce
interim rankings before selection weekend each season. The interim rankings will be made public. It will meet again during
selection weekend to decide the final rankings and announce the pairings.
Pairings for the Playoff Games.
In the playoff, the team ranked No. 1 by the selection committee will play team No. 4 in the semifinals. Team No. 2 will
play team No. 3.
Bill Hancock, Executive Director
collegefootballplayoff.com @cfbplayoff facebook.com/cfbplayoff
There will be no limit on the number of teams that may participate from one conference, and matters such as rematches
will not be a consideration.
Pairings for Non-Playoff Bowls.
All displaced conference champions and the highest ranked champion from a non-contract conference, as ranked by
the committee, will participate in selected other bowl games and will be assigned to those games by the committee. If
berths in the selected other bowl games remain available after those teams have been identified, the highest ranked
other teams, as ranked by the committee, will fill those berths in rank order. (Note: A "displaced conference champion"
is a champion of a contract-bowl conference that does not qualify for the playoff in a year when its contract bowl hosts
a semifinal game.)
The committee will strive to provide the most compelling matchups in the bowl games.
There will be no limit on the number of teams that are allowed to participate from a conference.
The committee will use geography as a consideration in the pairing of teams and assigning them to bowl sites, but not
in the ranking of teams.
The committee will attempt to avoid regular-season rematches when assigning teams to these non-playoff bowl games.
To benefit fans and student-athletes, the committee will attempt to avoid assigning a particular team or group of teams
to the same bowl game repeatedly.
Conference championships will be a criteria to be considered when the committee assigns teams to bowls (i.e., if Dallas
were a convenient site for two teams, preference would go to a conference champion.)
Terms. Members will serve three-year terms. Until the rotation has been achieved, certain terms may be shorter or longer.
Terms will be staggered to allow for an eventual rotation of members.
About College Football Playoff
The College Football Playoff will begin with the 2014-15 season. A committee will select the four participating teams. The
No. 1 seed will meet No. 4, and No. 2 will face No. 3. The semifinal games will rotate annually among bowl games in
Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, New Orleans, Pasadena and Phoenix. The first semifinals will be played January 1, 2015 at the
Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. The first national championship game will be played January 12, 2015 at AT&T Stadium in
Arlington, Texas.

The rest of the specification is also enough to get HTC worried. You get quad-band GSM, so you'll be able to make phone calls pretty much anywhere in the world you can get a mobile signal. It has HSDPA up to 3.6Mbits/sec for fast mobile broadband connectivity, plus 3G and GPRS with EDGE for when that 'H' doesn't pop up at the top of your screen. There's a SiRF Star III GPS receiver, so you can add sat-nav to the phone if you wish. The memory complement is up there with the TyTN at a generous 256MB ROM and 64MB RAM, while the processor is a slightly nippier 500MHz Samsung, though in use it didn't feel any more responsive. And you even get an FM tuner, just in case you run out of MP3s to listen to, though the device's 2.5mm headphone socket means you'll have to buy an adapter if you want to connect your own headphones.
I'd also like to point out that the call quality on this device is better than the TyTN's. This is not to say the call quality on the TyTN II is poor, far from it, just that the M800's is louder and clearer. This means you'll be able to take calls in noisy environments - the pub or the train, for instance - without having to go outside or stick your finger in your other ear.
Add a raft of useful software extras that puts most other smartphones to shame, including business card recognition software, a facility that lets you use the camera light as a torch, and E-TEN's own Today screen customisation - via the excellent Spb Mobile Shell plugin - which neatly places recent applications, alarms, weather reports and favourite contacts at your fingertips, and you have a phone, on paper at least, that looks to give the TyTN II a serious run for its money.
Use the M800 for a while, however, and you'll soon discover that it's less a talented reworking of the TyTN II and more a pale imitation. The main problem lies in its usability - specifically the design of the controls. There's no scroll wheel, for instance - a couple of flat buttons for volume and a record button sit on the left edge instead. The telescopic stylus isn't as nice to hold as the TyTN's either. The keyboard is competent but though the keys look easier to press than the TyTN's, I found myself hitting wrong letters more frequently while bashing out emails and notes. I couldn't fathom E-TEN's caps lock system either, which seemed to switch to all caps occasionally for no apparent reason.

PORT ST. LUCIE — Ten days had passed since Canterbury clinched the first state tournament appearance in school history. And the Crusaders were admittedly stir crazy, doing their best to keep practices fresh.
"The pros play 162 games in about 175 days for a reason," Canterbury coach Dave Smith said.
When the Crusaders did finally take the field at Digital Domain Park for their Class 2A semifinal, four errors and Miami commit Danny Garcia's curveball kept them out of synch, as Miami Westwood Christian won 4-1 to end the most successful season in Canterbury's history.
The Crusaders (18-12), who start seven seniors and overcame a seven-game midseason skid, fell behind early when Westwood Christian put its leadoff man on as a result of a two-base fielding error by DaSean Thomas. Two batters later, Anthony Penas gave the
Warriors a 1-0 lead with a single to left. In the bottom of the first, though, the Crusaders took advantage of Westwood Christian's lone fielding error to score Jake Holsinger.
On the mound, Holsinger threw a complete game, giving up only one earned run. But another defensive lapse — and a decision by the Tampa-based umpiring crew to overturn a call — gave Westwood Christian (19-5) the go-ahead run in the third.
With the bases loaded and one out, the Warriors' Alexander Hernandez hit a ground ball to third. Steven Valentine tagged out the runner coming at him from second, then threw home. Catcher Dalton Hughes dropped the ball, but the plate umpire initially ruled the runner out, ending the inning with the score still tied.
Both teams left the field as Westwood Christian coach Luis Padron went to appeal. After a conference between the three umpires, the call was reversed, the run scored, and both teams came back on the field.
"All I said was, 'The ball was dropped, all I'm asking is, please, I'll leave you alone if you ask for help,' " Padron said of his appeal to the home-plate umpire. "I'm a fiery guy, but ask for help, and I'm okay."
"I hate to say it, but they got the call right," Smith said. "That's a big turning point in the ball game. What we should have done is step on third and throw the ball to first base, but we went to the plate. That was big, big momentum."
Meanwhile, Garcia was able to effectively mix his upper-80s fastball with his curveball to limit Canterbury to just three hits. Too often the Crusaders took pitches early, digging themselves into 0-1 and 0-2 holes.
"As coaches, you want to see guys swing early in the count, swing at that fastball," Smith said. "Because once he gets you down, one strike, two strikes, he's awfully tough. You've got to swing early, you've got to get a good pitch to hit."

Marc Jacobs Opens Pop-Up Shop Where Fashionistas Pay With Tweets
Social posts become a currency at the designer's NYFW installation.
Marc Jacobs plans to open a pop-up shop during New York Fashion Week where dollars will have no value. All transactions at the Daisy Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop will be carried out based on customers' use of the hashtag #MJDaisyChain across various social media platforms.
The Tweet Shop is designed to be social media-friendly with features such as a comfortable lounge, food, drinks and Wi-Fi. It will also feature Daisy-themed artwork by Langley Fox Hemingway and a live Daisy photo booth. DJ Jilly Hendrix will provide the music to accompany a product display of fragrance samples and Marc Jacobs fashion items and accessories.
Twitter, Instagram and Facebook posts are all encouraged and there will also be competitions to increase the amount of social impact, where Marc Jacobs' accessories will be given away throughout the day. The shop's launch will be accompanied by a new print campaign for Daisy, which follows the recently released TV spot directed by Sofia Coppola.
If you're keen to see the store for yourself, you can find it in Soho at 462 West Broadway, where it will open to the public on February 7th until February 9th. It's opening hours are between 11AM and 7PM.

William Bartram's Drawing of a New Species of Arethusa (1796): Portrait of a Life
In one of the most evocative portrayals of landscape from the first years of the young republic of the United States, the naturalist, William Bartram, counterposed a view of his family's garden in Kingsessing, Pennsylvania, on the western bank of the Schuylkill, against a more distant vista of the city of Philadelphia emerging from the treetops across the river. Bartram's drawing, executed in 1796, has come to be recognized as a declaration of early republican exceptionalism--the depiction of an American reformulation of the European garden, located on a specifically American site and filled with rare New World species without parallel across the Atlantic. It has been argued that Bartram's inclusion of the carnivorous Venus Flytrap alongside two gentle orchids posits this distinctly American garden as a model for the harmonious social order of the ideal city, where the lion lies down with the lamb—an allusion to the Biblical trope of the garden as an earthly paradise, suggesting that Eden might be regained on American soil.
These careful readings of Bartram's drawing as a depiction of the incomparable redemptive power of a new society grounded in America are deeply persuasive, but, as some have contended, they must be justified with an understanding of the work as an autobiographical narrative that addresses the new order not just in terms of the present and future, but in terms of the past. Indeed, the drawing relates a personal history that ties the Bartram garden, the city of Philadelphia, and the nation as a whole back to pre-revolutionary relationships that helped to determine their development. Simultaneously, the work roots the evolution of Bartram's own image-making and his role as a naturalist within a matrix of interconnected communities which, over much of the eighteenth century, extended from the garden itself to nearby Philadelphia and across the eastern seaboard of North America, as well as across the Atlantic to England and the Continent. This paper examines the ways in which Bartram drew upon a complex set of pictorial conventions, learned and developed across the whole of his professional career within these interlinked circles of associates, to craft a work that argues for the importance of his own history—and that of his family—to the emergence of the city that had come to serve as the capital of the nation and the center of American culture.

Mistra case might have been a decoy - Joseph Muscat
The Mistra case might have been leaked by people in the Nationalist Party as a decoy to deviate the people's attention from other matters, Labour leader Joseph Muscat said this morning.
Addressing the annual general meeting of the party's Msida branch, Dr Muscat referred to the court decision on the case last week which exonerated two Mepa officials and said that the PL respected that decision.
It respected the court's decision in the same way that it respected the Malta Environment and Planning Authority auditor's report which had gone into detail on this case and which had concluded that the permit should never have been considered because it breached all environmental principles.
Dr Muscat pointed out that the court noted that it was normal for Mepa board members to meet politicians on individual applications.
He said he was not amazed that the Prime Minister, who did not see anything wrong in his Finance Minister breaching the code of ethics, saw nothing wrong in this.
The Labour leader referred to an international report which he said placed Malta in the 89th position when it came to equality. The country had been 71st in 2006 and although it was true that the number of countries being considered in the study had increased, it was also true that other countries were progressing much faster than Malta.
This classification placed Malta at the bottom of the EU list and behind Vietnam and Kazakhstan worldwide.
On the budget, Dr Muscat said the country needed a responsible budget which fought the rising cost of living, which people could not keep up with.
Moreover, certain declarations being made by the prime minister just before the budget and the start of the Christmas period were undermining the chances of economic recovery.
In saying that the electricity prices would rise again, for example, the prime minister was showing he did not understand how the economic mentality worked. He was also rendering the private sector less competitive.
The opposition, Dr Muscat said, had given the government a way out with one of its proposals given during its meeting at Zabbar last week.
The Labour leader spoke on the Cirkewwa quay saying this had been coming for 13 years, €18.5 million were spent and there was still nothing to show for it. The minister was now saying it would be completed in 2012. Had this been in the private sector the people in charge would have been sacked.
Dr Muscat referred to a declaration by Finance Minister Tonio Fenech in the PN parliamentary group relating to the police. Saying he was not repeating what was said because it was libellous, Dr Muscat hoped the case would be dealt with efficiently and fairly.
On the issue of the black dust which plagued several localities in the south and central parts of the island, the Labour leader said that the government seemed to forget that the Minister had told parliament in 2000 that Enemalta had already started taking action to resolve matters. In 2001, the minister had said that as soon as it was known that this dust was coming out of Marsa power station the government took immediate action to solve the problem.
Enemalta, Dr Muscat said, was now saying it had a plan, what was it? What was Mepa doing? Where was the dust coming from if not the power station?
As the minister responsible for Mepa, the Prime Minister should give the authority a deadline by when it should come up with its conclusions and propose action which should be taken to protect the people who were suffering from such inconvenience.

Just a year ago, the only carriers in the United States offering the iPhone were AT&T and Verizon. Since then, three major carriers have picked up the iPhone including Sprint, as well as a number of smaller regional carriers, such as C-Spire and Alaska Communications. On Thursday, Virgin Mobile announced that they will be offering the iPhone 4S, starting on June 29. Virgin Mobile is a prepaid brand operated under Sprint and offers a number of plans for a range of mobile phones. With the iPhone, Virgin Mobile is offering no contract service plans under $30 for customers that opt in for automatic payments.
Virgin Mobile's Beyond Talk unlimited data and messaging plans for iPhone start at $35 per month for access to Sprint's Nationwide Network, and customers can receive a $5 per-month plan discount when they register for automatic monthly payments with a credit card, debit card or PayPal account, making iPhone available for as low as $30 per month. Customers can also use their iPhone as a mobile hotspot through Virgin Mobile for an additional $15 per month.
Although Virgin Mobile is offering cheap plans and is not forcing a contract on customers, it is not subsidizing the iPhone and is offering it full price, at $549 for the 8GB model of the iPhone 4 and the 16GB iPhone 4S at $649.
Early last week, San Diego based carrier, Cricket announced its own prepaid plans for the iPhone and offered the hardware under subsidy, a $150 cheaper than Virgin Mobile's current price. With Cricket charging less for hardware and more for service ($55 unlimited talk, text, web), the two carriers balance out in terms of price, when considering Virgin Mobile is charging far less for the service. Virgin Mobile is currently offering customers a variety of choices, $30 (300 minutes), $40 (1200 minutes), and $50 (unlimited minutes) and a data cap of 2.5GB.
Virgin Mobile will be selling the iPhone at Best Buy, Radio Shack, and other retailers around the country. Virgin Mobile's adoption of the iPhone shows the popularity of the device, especially when considering that its parent company, Sprint also offers the iPhone with a contract. The iPhone is now offered on a range of different carriers, national, regional, and prepaid networks, Virgin being the latest to carry it.

Thanx Man Keep It Up
Thanks for this thread. I had been trying to use the BT2 installation video and when I tried to load the VM it just gave me a black screen. Turns out I just needed to "Uncheck :-Restore Original MBR after lilo" during the bt install inside of xwindows. I guess this shows you there is more than one way to skin a cat.
Thanx Man Keep It Up
btw thanks for the author of this thread, it all goes in smooth process but when i reboot it, it just only blank display with a cursor on upper left corner...
..[ls help me guys...on how to fix this,,, thanks in advance
check on youtube for installing bt3. I am not allowed to post link.
if you have real player 11 you can also download video file from yt and check it later.
content is the same as written tutorial at the beginning of this thread.
thanks to all contributors.
It works man, with ext2 and ext3
Thanks a million
A clean and clear way to install BT3
PD: I use Virtualbox instead of VMWare6
Thanks for the great tut.
Works for me, but when i try and up the memory it fails to boot ,,, i have found this info from the man pages or parellels,,
Creating Linux Virtual Machines
With RAM More Than 512 MB
When trying to create a Linux virtual machine with amount of RAM greater than 512MB, you may encounter problems when trying to boot the guest OS installation.
To solve this problem, you should modify the kernel parameters by passing the mem=nopentium option to the kernel.
For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5,
you should perform this actions:
1 Start the virtual machine
2 When the installation media boots up, enter the following:
linux mem=nopentium
When the kernel parameters are modified, you can proceed with installing the Linux guest OS.
but i dont no how i can apply this to backrtack 3, any help???
Thanks for the great BT3>VMware tutorial!
Now I'd like to know if there is a way to skip the lilo boot in my vmware BT3 beta.
I mean.....it's only got bt3, so I don't need lilo.
I'd really like for it to boot directly into BT3 - just like it does from the CD or even from a USB drive.
Any clues?
ok, so i followed the steps, do i now leave vmware to point to the iso file under the cd rom settings?
A quick and dirty solution would be to edit lilo to automatically boot BT3 after a predetermined time, 1 second if you wish. Lilo will still flash up at start, but no user input will be needed to get into BT3.I'd really like for it to boot directly into BT3 - just like it does from the CD or even from a USB drive.

United States
#7 Mar 18, 2011
I sometimes wonder....who does the OHS think it is?
The Smithsonian is free.
#8 Mar 18, 2011
This is going to be the norm. But, if Special K (I believe that what GG is referring to) reads this article he'll probably try to sell the historical society to some for-profit outfit.
#9 Mar 18, 2011
The Smithsonian hasn't had its budget cut to the bone. I don't understand the $150 either, but the OHS is really running on very little money, and has been operating that way for several years.
Since: Jan 11
#10 Mar 18, 2011
OHS thinks it is totally underfunded by the State of Ohio.
Do you have any idea how many times their budget has been cut and cut and then cut some more in recent years?
Funding cuts = pay to play. Average Ohioans can't get in. Rich only. They can either offer exciting events like this with a high ticket price, or they can choose not to offer them at all. You choose.
#11 Mar 18, 2011
It's a fundraiser, for pete's sake.
#12 Mar 18, 2011
Bravo to OHS for offering this show! For far too long, OHS has treated its historical inventory as a shrine, instead of a collection. History is made up of the good, the bad, the heoric and the things that we now find questionable or shameful by our modern standards. The only way that we can enegage this generation in history is to stop telling tells and tell it like it was and spark interest.
#13 Mar 18, 2011
The Smithsonian is courtesy of taxpayer money. Who pays for the Ohio Historical Society?
#14 Mar 18, 2011
You are serious, right? Well, to begin with, OHS isn't the Smithsonian. Unlike the Smithsonian, OHS receives a small part of its operating funds from the Ohio budget, and that amount has shrunk each year since about 2002. And the amount spent on OHS doesn't even come close to a fraction of the annual Federal dollars budgeted to the Smithsonian in each Federal budget.
So I can tell you that OHS knows that it is a private, membership driven society that has a contract with the State of Ohio to handle some duties in protectingf and preserving Ohio's history.
What OHS doesn't need are people shaking their head because it isn't what those head shakers think it should be, it needs our support because OHS and its employees work hard to save those relics, items and places that represent our collective history, whether you think so, or not.
United States
#15 Mar 18, 2011
Corporate sponsorships and charitable donations are the answer.
For too long, these quasi-public entities have sucked at the taxpayer teat, and now taxpayer dollars are at a premium.
United States
#16 Mar 18, 2011
The Smithsonian receives public funding for its staff and facilities, but its exhibits are funded privately.
#17 Mar 18, 2011
Instead of having this stuff "stored away", why not put it on display and charge $5 a head for anybody who wants to see it?
I have a huge interest in the civil war, but I can't afford $150.00 to look at it.
Since: Jan 11
#18 Mar 18, 2011
OHS has corporate sponsorships.
OHS gets charitable donations.
Or is it your contention that the state of Ohio -- the thing OHS exists to preserve the history of -- should play no role in supporting it? We as taxpayers ought to pay exactly zero dollars and zero cents per year to have some entity look after our most treasured and irreplaceable artifacts? That entity should go begging to rich ladies and Walmart in hopes they'll always pay for all of it?
United States
#19 Mar 18, 2011
$10 million in taxpayer dollars for FY2010 doesn't sound too shabby to me.
#20 Mar 18, 2011
The biggest problems I have with the OHS,like most other museums is exactly what they stated,"items that have been stored away,never being seen before".These artifacts NEED to be on display at all times so that people can LEARN from them & have small glimpses into period life of early America.These museums gather huge amounts of valuable artifacts and they box them only to be shoved into the basement and left to sit.I have personally seen all the indian artifacts boxed and stored at the OHS and it is shameful.There are things in there that are incredible,that need to be displayed because they are a valuable part of history,that in it's present state of storage will never be known except by those who boxed them up.
While museums can only display a certain amount of items because of room,they should rotate items,OR, send these other items to other museums to be appreciated rather than just boxing and forgetting them or leaving them in permanent storage.They do no one any good sitting in their basement.
As for this display,sadly,they will bring them out,but the price will drive people away and they'll just be boxed and stored away again until God only knows when???

I don't live in Florida, but the general rule of thumb for defensive shooting is to only draw and fire if you or somebody you are protecting is in imminent danger of death or great bodily injury. It is usually not advisable to "brandish" a gun as a warning, or to fire warning shots, as that will likely put you in violation of the law.
Normally you can't shoot somebody to protect property, with a few exceptions in Texas.
The clearest situation is somebody coming straight at you with a weapon in hand, stating their intent to hurt you. And you should fire to stop the attack, not to intentionally kill the person.
Always call the police immediately after a shooting and stay on the scene. Say as little as possible when the police arrive, lest you say something that will later be used against you. Don't be afraid to consult a lawyer right away.

The US GOV'T gives us this substandard service while losing $6-8 billion per year. All the while whining for more and more money. Come on fellow Americans...tell your Congressman we want the private sector to deliver our mail. COMPETITION IS THE ONLY THING THAT WILL KEEP PRICES DOWN AND SERVICE UP! LET THE CREAM RISE TO THE TOP!
What a shame. The other thing is being a gov't worker this woman cannot be fired. Thanks to the unions backed by liberals all the way to the destruction of America. The USPS WASTE BILLIONS OF OUR MONEY YEARLY.

Air shocks??
Well this is a fight between my dad and I
I have a 90 2wd ranger
i just got done putting bigger and wider snow tires on it and on a bigger rim
The tires fit when i turn both ways but it is when i go over bumps that it hits the side pannel.
So i asked around and someone said that i should put air shocks to rase the front and rear of the car up because he has it on his van and they work pretty good and everyone in my car group said it was a good idea for me to do so.
When i told my dad what i plan to do he got mad and said that air shocks are just a cheap way around the problem and that the tires are just too big for the truck.
Ofcourse my dad has never liked me modding something on my truck and so i was wondering if this place could settel the dispute
So would air shocks help me raise the front and rear end up. It seems to me that it would be a good idea because all i have to do is go to the pump and raise the car?
Or should i stick with the old rim and tires and let my truck slide in the snow for another year???
Sorry to burst your bubble, but your dad is right. What you want to do is really nothing more than a band-aid. Your setup could even be dangerous. If you want larger tires to fit, make all the proper changes to the suspension. Air shocks are the worst. No ride quality at all.
I once had air shocks on the back of my 68 Galaxie and they were a pain in the butt. Worst thing was that whenever the snow would pack up under the rear axle and it got warm the block of snow would come out along with all the little plastic tubing leaving me stranded (tires rubbed the wheel wells). I hate them with a passion and they always need filling due to constant leakage, if you have your heart set I would hard plumb them or at least run stainless braided line to each one.
I would listen to Dad and get some new springs along with a body kit to do what you want, much safer and the truck will handle much better. You don't want the hassle...trust me.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
Air shocks suck!
I'm with the other guys here, sorry, but your dad is right. Air Shocks are designed for one thing and one thing only, to compensate and adjust ride height in the rear for a loaded vehicle. Sorry, but thats it. Take it from me, I have an El Camino that came from the factory with rear air shocks. I have talked to dozens of really knowledgable people and they all say the same thing, don't use them to compensate for tire clearance issues or to just raise up your rear to give you the illusion of a "raked" look. Furthermore, air shocks put an unneccessary stress on the shock mounts that could result in broken or cracked mounts if too much air or inappropriate amounts of air are run in them. Go for new springs and like 4 Jaw Chuck said, that body kit if you need it.
I agree with those above, air shocks from what I have seen are a PITA. My dad had a lincoln with some sort of air adjusted rear suspension and most of the time it looked like a lowrider because the things never were working much.

Hey, another idea check out www.therangerstation.com I have a friend that is really big into rangers and he swears by he site.

text: Powerskin Carbon Flex Conceived as the ideal companion to the existing Carbon-Pro range, the Powerskin Carbon-Flex emerged from a process which include feedback and data from several sources, including individual Elite Team athletes. The carbon cage and its partners, Intelligent Compression and the Power Return System, remain core components of the Carbon-Flex. The difference is in the V-Flex System, a unique, innovative and patented construction developed by arenas scientific network. V-Flex SystemIn the V-Flex system, seams have been moved from the side of both women's and men's suits. On the men's Jammers, the seams align with the quadriceps and the hamstrings. Mens jammers also have added length in the leg and a slight increase in rise. The V-Flex System supports swimmers with three specific benefits: Hip flexion and freedom of movement: Seam placement creates a flexline across the hip flexors, offering less resistance during hip flexion on starts, turns, and breaststroke kicks. The system delivers complete freedom of movement around the hips, glutes, and shoulders, along with perfect fit and comfort.Linig effect - The rear seam creates a tension line between the two anchor points, limiting stretch on this line and having a lifting effect on the back of the legs. This helps to keep the legs high in the water during freestyle, and to keep the knees from dropping during breaststroke and butterflyPush off the wall - During the tumble turn, the tension line also helps with pushing off the wall In addition, the lengthening of the suit also provides greater body coverage, reinforcing the effects of Intelligent Compression. Not surprisingly, following the popularity of the innovative Carbon-Pro designs, the Carbon Flex has its own distinctive flair. By placing the bonded seams on the outside, the Jammer has a two-colour design, making it stand out from the crowd. Arena How to Fit (Mens and Womens) Jammers/Legsuits and Full Suits Fold out the bottom of the suit so that the silicone is faced up and outside the garment Gently pull the suit up over your knee (avoiding using your fingernails) Now that you have your suit up over your wait ensure that there is no space between the suit and crotch. If there is space slowly work the suit up until it is in place. Fold the edge back down so that the silicone is against your legs and smooth away any creases. When the suit is fitted correctly it will allow you to bend your legs freely. Full Body Suits From the waist pull the suit up and over the upper part of your body. Slide one arm at a time through each arm hole, smoothing the suit as you do so. Tightening Your Jammers Do not pull the strings in the opposite direction of the drawstring opening, Cross the string before attempting to pull, and tighten.Check stock and price
