Tacoma firefighters, law enforcement, city officials and citizens alike will stand side-by-side on Sept. 11 to honor those who perished in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. This annual ceremony of remembrance takes place at the Fallen Firefighter's Memorial at 3301 Ruston Way at 9:30 a.m., with a prelude at 9:15. Tacoma Fire Department Honor Guard will present the colors and bagpipes will play to begin the short ceremony.
This marks the 11th year that Tacoma Fire Department has provided area residents with a way to memorialize the attacks on New York, part of a nationwide salute to firefighters, police, emergency medical services workers and civilians who lost their lives on that terrible Sept. 11 in 2001.
In the past, Tacoma's event has featured special guests including firefighters from the New York City Fire Department. "This year it's more pared down and straightforward," according to Tacoma Fire Department's public information officer Joe Meinecke, but with the same solemn respect and coming together of community as in past years. Mayor Marilyn Strickland will speak as will Tacoma Interim Fire Chief James P. Duggan. The public is invited to attend, and sign language interpreter services will be available.

Welcome to our newest site which opened early July 2016.
'Chuck Spitalfields' is set in a renovated classic east end London café, a stones throw from Aldgate East underground. The menu features many of the original Chuck Burger favourites, but look out for some exclusive additions such as the Thai Inspired 'Same Same' Pork Burger. We've teamed up with Camden Brewery to provide beer on draught as well a fantastic choice of canned beers from local brewers. The cocktail list is small but perfectly formed and if you've a sweet tooth try one of our awesome hard shakes, which you can only find at our Spitalfields site.
Mon-Sun: 12:00 – 23:00*
*Kitchen closes at 22:00 daily
Hatch End
Chuck Burgers began as an idea to bring our favourite American food back home. Our menu has been developed over years using the freshest British ingredients, but inspired by secret recipes we have prized from our favourite restaurants across the pond. Our first restaurant was opened in Hatch End in 2012 and has become a local institution. If you're looking for amazing food, great cocktails and some serious 'North London Vibes' head on over.

I have a 2000 Jetta 2.0 with an auto transmission.
A guy recently contacted me saying he has a 2003 Jetta Wagon 2.0 with Manual Tranny that was wrecked.
My question, will it be possible to swap manual tranny from this '03 into my Jetta.

Flywheel: Energy storage gains velocity
More power, price, and certifications have increased interest in the VSS+DC flywheel-based uninterruptible power supply system, says Pentadyne Power Corp.
Pentadyne Power Corp . received more than 100 orders for the VSS+DC flywheel-based power system. The second-generation models, shipped in July, have received industry certifications and deliver more than 50% greater power than the company's original VSSDC model that it has sold for the last 3 years. The update presently is sold at the same price and has the same dimensions and weight as the original. The company has OEM relationships with Emerson Network Power/ Liebert and with Socomec Sicon .
The flywheel power system improves reliability of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) by replacing or extending the life of lead-acid batteries used in most UPS configurations. In comparison to batteries, flywheel is said to offer higher reliability, eliminate costly ventilation and cooling requirements, and reduce lifecycle cost and for maintenance and replacement needs. It has a smaller footprint than an equivalent battery system, Pentadyne says.

Oh, that's the list the DI gathered, you know none of those are biologists, their opinions on evolution are about as valid as a monkey's opinion on what purse looks best with an outfit. Not to mention a lot of those scientists wanted to be removed from the list, and the few remaining are not published.Would you evos like to go back to square one with the Proffessors initial post?
Let's do junk dna again, where evos will woffle on blindly about the 98% of junk non coding dna that surely proves evolution is true.
Oh wait!!!! Oh that's right, some evo researchers are now suggesting that is nore than likely that 100% of the genome is functional.
The same goes for vestigial organs, single celled LUCA the queen of evolutionary support killed by HGT, wrist bones that proved mankind had a knucklewalking ancestry and therefore must have evolved from some bent over ape, the same fossils demonstrating ancestry to a knucklewalker and now a biped, bipedalism being soley a human trait gone, accumulating beneficial mutations accruing without disasterous cost - gone, etc etc etc, all tossed aside generally on the back of one single new finding.
There really is no debate. It is quite obvious to me that evolutionary reseachers have no idea what they are talking about.
There are many well credentialed creationists some of which have left TOE behind on the back of what they have discerned from the data available.
Regardless of what evos have to say about creos, evolutionary history suggests that one would have great difficulty in presenting worse and less credible assertions and hypothesis than what evolutionists have to present. This is my conclusion to the evolution/creation debate.
No one has proven anything beyond doubt and many scenarios are possible if one is talking about a power mankind knows nothing about.
You lot can chase your tails adnauseum forever, and still you will never recover from your history of evolutionary supports that now reside in the huge rubbish bin of evolutionary delusions past!
Evolution vs. Creation
There are 221490 comments on the Best of New Orleans story from Jan 6, 2011, titled Evolution vs. Creation. In it, Best of New Orleans reports that:High school senior Zack Kopplin is leading the fight to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act of 2008.

We don't talk about a power that no one knows anything about. You do! We don't even claim that such a power exists because we don't have supporting evidence.
You're just demanding that people prove your god doesn't exist. We've already said that science doesn't waste time on proving negatives. You're not introducing anything new to the debate other than maybe putting a biker-chick spin on creationism! I'll admit, that's pretty new!

#60668 Nov 24, 2012
Come on Dan, come on Subductionzone, you lot have bombed out on every attempt so far to support TOE, now some think the fossil evidence will provide the support for TOE you seek.
You lot could not find any link and I provided one. Here is a better on seeing as you are unable to supply your own material.
Lucy, is challenged as a human ancestor and quite a few researchers suggest Lucy and all her purported humanity actually has no humanity in her and is an ancestor or relative of the chimp.
Bipedalism is no longer solely a human trait.
Hawkins supports research that suggests Lucy is a gorilla ancestor.
You can go into most of the fossils in the link and see exactly what they did find, if it was pieced together from an assumption (eg the mess in rudolfensis), remembering that very few fossils provide credible and reliable data. You can see how evo researchers have made up entire life stories on the basis of a single bone. Of course Wiki is not comprehensive but is a good place to start for a beginner.
There are no chimp fossils to demonstrate chimp ancestry meaning one entire half of the story is missing. Let me say that if a creationist tried to pass off a similar scenario to evos we would be laughed off the forum. However that is the calibre of evidence evos suggest is good enough for them.
What makes you think little tiny Lucy with her little brain and curved fingers, found without feet, was any more bipedal than a chimp or orang is today?
#60669 Nov 24, 2012
When I joined the military, they asked what faith I was. I entered Catholic as that is how I was raised. I haven't been to a church in 30 years and don't intend to start. Some things you do just because others want it.
Don't bother using those numbers. They're just something to put on a card, in case people get shipped home in a box.

Again you prove evos here are nothing more than wofflers. I am not asking you to prove the negatives you goose. I am asking for some evidence for evolution because so far you lot have bombed out at every attempt. It is not looking good for you evos.
Regardless of your many words, in the end you are gobsmacked and unable to mount an appropriate reply that identified the specific concern, not even one can you identify, and just post for the sake of trying to justify your existence.
You see the post above, with links,? You should try supporting that big attitude of yours one day and learn how to conduct a debate.
You obviously have no idea why your researchers suggest Afarensis is in the human line, nor why some say she isn't. All you can do is prattle on.
You probably think she was found in tact and complete with feet. Oh I take that back. It is more likely that you are not thinking anything past I know because some researchers that are consistently wrong said so.

#60673 Nov 24, 2012
Here is a prime example of using what you don't understand. Whether all, some or none of the so-called "junk DNA" has a function does not refute evolution in the least. It is no different from arguing which Wright brother played a larger role in the first flight. They still flew the plane.
You are erroneously taking an area of discovery out of context, erroneously declaring any controversy as falsifying evolution and then publishing this nonsense on here. It is a strawman argument and a piss poor one at that.
Science did not discover the Okapi until 1901. Was this failure to discover this new animal until that date evidence that science was a failure? No. Argument and controversy over new areas research are part and parcel of good science.
The idea that someone challenges the discoveries of science is necessary and desireable. I just wish it was done by more knowledgeable and intellegent people.

Dirt simple, by the design of the pelvis. Lucy's pelvis clearly suggested bipedalism. You could also use the position of the foramen magnum if it is available.

#60675 Nov 24, 2012
These are still non furry, obligate bipeds with the ability to make meaning of the world, which is the criterion for that species general representation (without disability) to be included in the human race.

So far, and I repeat this because it can't be repeated often enough, you have shown nothing but biased nonsense and have provided nothing to refute evolution. You are batting 1000. You have that going for you.
I am not and have never claimed to be an expert on Human origins, but any reasonable person can see that "Lucy" is only one piece of a puzzle. If it turns out that it is not part of our fossil line, that will not refute human evolution from a common ancestor to the other great apes. There is DNA evidence, homology, ERV evidence, chromosomal evidence and more as I understand it that continue to support that. Your argument is again, a strawman. You are taking one single controversial piece of evidence and beating it pieces as much as your limited ability allows and ignoring the real story.
No surprises here. Just your usual anti-science clown.

This is your best method is it? And yes, in a way I am calling the ill.

#60678 Nov 24, 2012
When are you lot going to learn what it is to debate.
So you are now saying that every single example is a fraudulent misrepresention and there are no well credentialled researchers that are creationists or are you just nit picking a few.
Here is another list for you to demonstrate what an empty vessel you actually are when it comes to this topic.
I took the time to find examples to support my assertion and you just sit there on your proverbial behind and woffle on. Some of you are so incredibly physically and intelectually lazy. Or is it that you have zilch research skills but come to debating forums just to waste everyones time. That is why you don't learn and have the memory retention of a piece of cheese.
I have already dealt with an article that tries to refute scientists flocking to creationism in droves. Would you like to have the same discussion again? I even provided the refute for you evos.
So you have nothing to say about the guts of the topic at hand, supporting TOE via fossil evidence, but you will have some meaningless remark to add to an aside as if not one credible researcher could be a creo. Is that your point? Or are you just wasting time nit picking for the sake of it?
Don't expect a reply to this level of pointless and unsupported rhetoric and don't think that means anymore than I can't be bothered spamming the thread with off topic nonsense. There are plenty here that want to do that!

Since: Jul 12
#60680 Nov 24, 2012
But you have not emonstrated how I build strawmen and you most certainly have not provided any sort of suport at all.
Most of my links are from evo sites and much is the actual peer reviewed research. Some of you evos have no idea what a creo site or evo site is suggesting that articles from Nature are creationsist. Pathetic and insane.
You keep saying I have limited ability, yet I am the only one here that is able to post direct support for my assertions
You say I misrepresent but have never provided any example and supported refute to any thing I have ever said.
Again I say to you that you are a looser that has no research skills, likely has no idea how to source anything, thinks his opinion is the end of the matter, and has delusions of being a big evotard hero here.
You are continually proving what an idiot you really are!
If you disagree articulate an appropriate response at your concern or shut the heck up!
#60681 Nov 24, 2012
I think that the argument is simply invalid. It seems that some ape ancestors were more bipedal then we previously thought. We assumed that the one current species with the unique quality of bipedalism would be less representative of older common ancestors. That's common sense but apparently not what some discoveries suggest.
It certainly doesn't mean that we have to burn all of the evolutionary scientists at the stake and go crying to god for forgiveness.

No, the question is when are you going to learn? Also, when are you going to learn how to type?
Still no published biologists, and the list is highly suspect. Can you be honest at all?
Chester, UK
#60683 Nov 24, 2012
I have evidence to prove God exists.
#60684 Nov 24, 2012
In all honesty, I tend to be skeptical of new announcements in the science community because I expect a bit of self-promotion. When I post, I usually fact-check at Wikipedia where they state that Lucy has leg bones and a partial pelvis which led scientists to their conclusions.
Go ahead and read!
Lucy isn't a cold fusion dud. She's a real and significant discovery.

Pacific Rim Trailer...
Anybody excited to watch this. I have no clue what this is about. Just saw it.
Kinda looks like Robot Jox meets Transformers meets Gojira. Guess who the narrator is...
i liked it, the monsters look kind of like godzilla and giant robots should do for decent entertainment.
but lets not kid ourselves, this movie is on a level of Battleship, Transformers and Skyline, if you are really, really bored go for it.
Enjoyed the first half of the trailer then it seemed to get a bit silly. The fact that theres apparently an alien race living in the hollow parts of the Earth is a well known conspiracy theory with some, but hardly substantial, ewvidence stirred my interest. But as soon as I saw a robot deliver a right hook to an alien I turned off.

A client of mine has 2 cats that have lived together for yrs.after coming hm from vet they do not get along,any sugs,

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
It's probably because they smell strange after coming back from the vet. They probably just need some time and will become friends again. If they are actually fighting then they'll need to go through the same steps as when you introduce 2 new cats.

FLORENCE, S.C. – After splitting two conference road games last week, the Francis Marion University women's basketball team fell three positions to 18th in this week's USA TODAY ESPN Division II Top 25 coaches' poll released on Tuesday (Jan. 12).
Both the Francis Marion women and men will play a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader at USC Aiken on Wednesday night (Jan. 13). The women's game will tip-off at 5:30, followed by the men's contest at 7:30 p.m. Live stats and video of the twinbill can be accessed through the FMU athletics website at www.fmupatriots.com.
The FMU women are 11-2 overall and 3-1 in the Peach Belt, while USCA is 6-8 and 1-4. Francis Marion defeated the Lady Pacers earlier this season 69-65 in Florence.
After being unranked in the 2009-10 preseason poll, Francis Marion has appeared in each of the six regular-season polls at 22nd, 18th, 17th, 17th, 15th, and now 18th. Unbeaten Franklin Pierce University (13-0) retains the top spot in the poll for a second straight week. Three PBC schools are in this week's poll and two are among the other schools receiving votes.
The Francis Marion men are also 11-2 overall and 3-1 in the PBC, while the Pacer men are 9-3 and 4-1. USCA has won seven consecutive games since losing to FMU 83-73 in December.
Wednesday's contests will conclude a three-game road swing for Francis Marion. The Patriots will host Georgia Southwestern State University on Saturday at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. and then entertain Columbus State University on Sunday, also at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m.

Mauser vs. Mosin
Which do you like better? I got the idea from an article in a magazine that's out now. The author reached the conclusion that the Mosin-Nagant 91/30 was a better rifle than the K98k that he tested it against. Some of the things I notice with my rifles are:
-The Mauser has a better "feel" to it, I have a G24(t), vz24 and two K98k's.
-The Mosin seems much more rugged, like most Russian weapons, I have four M44's, an M1891, a 91/30 and a Finnish M28.
-Accuracy wise, I'd give the edge to the Mausers, though the article concluded that the 91/30 was the more accurate.
I personally feel that the Mauser is a better weapon overall, though the M-N is close behind it.
Mosin vs. Mauser......
Better.....no....just different....yes...
I have many Finnish Mosins but I can't look myself in the mirror and say it's a better rifle than the Mauser...
An apples for apples test would have been two rifles with comparable sight radius and ammo, for example. Putting a 91/30 against a 98/22 would have been more fair.. There's no comparison to the workmanship, feeding, fit, bolt operation, finish...no way... To draw the conclusions from the article, you'd need to test, say, 7 rifles of each kind, to statistically even begin to infer his conclusions.
They're just two different "schools of thought" produced by two different cultures equal in lethality but not in some aspects of quality.
I'm not sure about the fit and finish of Mausers being quite as good as most people think. I've seen an awful lot of them afflicted with terrible triggers, hard bolts, and the sights are typical of WWI thinking. Much too fine to be practical.
The Mosins I've owned ran from great to terrible. That said, I think that BOTH rifles suffered greatly from the expediencies of war. As to which is better, that's akin to the 9mm vs. .45 ACP debate. :D
I don't think that one is better than the other. They are both rugged enough, accurate enough and reliable enough for their purpose.
If was given my choice of the two and sent into battle I would not worry too much one way or the other.
I wonder which was cheaper to produce.
How did he test them? My experience with firearms tests leads me to believe that you can prove whatever you want to. Just design the test to favor whichever one you want to.
A truly fair test would involve weeks or months of dragging them through dirt and mud and beating them against rocks etc.
Edited because I type like a chimp.
My personal leaning is towards the Mosin/Nagant rifles. I own a 1938 Turk and yugo24/47 Mauser, and I find both of them to be in no higher quality than any of the other battle rifles in their class. Both are fine shooters, but not outstanding. Actions on them, I find a little stiff. They did and would still serve their purpose.
Both of my Mosins, 91/30 and M44, are both re-arsenaled. This may be why I feel they are the better of the two types, both are excellent shooters, with nice smooth actions.
All four of them have VG to Ex bores and shooting side by side I would put the 91/30 out front, followed by a tie with the m44 & 24/47, and the 1938 pulling up the rear.
Fortier's article is in the latest issue of Shooting Times. He spent at least two winter months, in Maine, hauling both of them around. Shooting would have been representative of moderate combat conditions. :D
Give the M39 a try. Good Feel, Very Acurate, Low Cost Ammo!
Bob K
If I wasn't so involved with Springfields (and now Krags, too - ugh!) a Finnish M39 would be a real treat - heard nothing but good about them. I also like a nice Mosin M91 (not 91/30). Unfortunately, I recently sold mine to buy another Krag!
Haven't made up my mind yet. That's why I own both :P
Mausers combine brute force and an unparralleled elegance that you see copied on all the great rifles.... USGI, British, Winchester, and 100 other nations.....
Moisins are work horses... crude but effective.
I think a couple of comments made about war-time production says a lot about the rifles. I have a M98/29 "Persian" Mauser that exemplifies the beautiful workmanship from BRNO before WW2. There are some things I don't like about it (sights, for one) but overall the fit and finish are superb.
Also remember that Mausers were built by different factories and nations: Swedish; German; Czech; Belgian; American; ect..
My Mosin was built in Tula in 1942---Stalingrad was under seige. I would never hold fit & finish against it considering the fate of that nation was in the balance at that point. Its a fine rifle.
However: if the Mosin is a "superior" weapon to the Mauser, why is it not the basis for almost every hunting rifle ever built like the Mauser is? That is a tough point to argue...
However: if the Mosin is a "superior" weapon to the Mauser, why is it not the basis for almost every hunting rifle ever built like the Mauser is? That is a tough point to argue...
I must agree with that line right there.

Understand The Italian Language With Ease
Interested to learn the Italian language? If you are, good-for you then. Learning still another language...
Rice, Ti Amo, Prego are three terms from Italy. Italys language is named Italian and studying this language is a lot more like studying every English syllables of every word. Since some terms can be identified easily as soon as the Italian language is easier than you think to learn and understand it is described. Some Italian terms are even used today by millions of people around the world.
Serious to learn the German? If you are, best for you then. Learning another language besides a persons mother tongue helps increase a persons memory capabilities and thinking skills. However, a lot of people stop trying too soon by the minute each goes through Lesson One-of their Italian books or Audio supplies. This shouldnt be the case since learning isn't a simple and fast process. Clicking buy bratwurst online certainly provides suggestions you can tell your dad. This dazzling german sausage portfolio has several thrilling tips for the meaning behind it. Definitely you didnt graduate from high school without going through all the required subjects and passing grades right? Why learning a language is any different?
Still, we cant disregard the fact that maybe not many people are willing to sit down and read Italian books. The great thing about any of it century is the fact that millions of people can access whatever information they need by using the Internet. That is where the good stuff originates from too. Search for foreign language learning programs from the internet, If you are a busy person who cant free time in likely to schools to learn a foreign language or even dip your-self on a different country.
Another thing, you do not need to to stick to old memorization practices like repetition as your memory will most likely fail you with this specific form of strategy. What you can do instead is to carry around a photo dictionary while you read an Italian childrens book. We found out about breakfast sausage by searching Bing. Browse here at gluten-free sausage to research the reason for it. Why a childrens book? Because you begin with the basics and its better to understand the order and correct use of words. Seeing a film with Italian subtitles may also improve your listening skills in connection to the words on the screen.
To simply remember words versus the English model, you simply can relate the words into a funny event or condition. Remember we mentioned awhile ago that it applies to this method and learning yet another language improves the human brain. Lets attempt to imagine a lazy donkey. The donkey is too lazy to eat or have a bath but is never lazy to play card games even if it has to play at the past casino open in town. If you havent thought it yet, the word donkey in the English vocabulary and lasino in Italian would be the example words used. Crazy, right?
This case is simply one easy and efficient way memorize and how to master the German and other international languages also. Check http://learn-italian-program.com for more Italian words..

REVIEW STAFF

The Waterdown Business Improvement Area (BIA) invites community residents to take part in the first annual Choral and Candle Walk this Saturday, Dec. 1.

"The whole intent of what the BIA is trying to do is bring the community together to make it a special place for the Christmas season," said the business group's executive director, Wilf Arndt.

Inspired by a similar event held in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Arndt has secured numerous choirs to perform in the heart of Waterdown's Victorian Village.

Starting at 6 p.m., residents can rally at Magnolia House Spa, Salon and Boutique, located at 20 Main St. North, where members of the Waterdown District High School choir will perform on the business's veranda. There, participants can also purchase candles, with proceeds benefitting Drummond House, a transition home for women and children in Flamborough. Refreshments, including hot chocolate, courtesy of the Flamborough Review and coffee, thanks to Brown Dog Coffee Shoppe, will be served, as will treats, courtesy of the Jitterbug Café and Voortman.

At 6:30 p.m., Choral and Candle Walk volunteers will guide attendees on an evening stroll through the historic streets of Waterdown, where they'll enjoy performances by various area choirs located along Main and Mill streets, including at Kitching, Steepe and Ludwig Funeral Home, Knox Presbyterian Church and the Waterdown branch of the Hamilton Public Library.

Event participants, said Arndt, "can stop, they can sing along with the choir or they can just stand there and listen."

For more information on Saturday's Choral and Candle Walk, visit the BIA's web site.

I just wanted to post this to announce a couple of dealers doing the " RIGHT " thing ! In my travels I have been all over and have ran across 2 places that at the least commanded my respect. I don't know about anyone else but I'm sick of seeing prices inflated 300%-400% and price gouging masked as " capitalism ". Even sick of the marketplace here with all of a "sudden" members ( lurkers ) asking crazy prices . Yes a reasonable profit OK , inspite of the current frenzy.... Well it is what it is. But when you take an United States flag lay it on the ground and display your weapons on it for sale ???? They need to go away( at least from this forum ).
1st is Larry's gun & Pawn in Huntsville Alabama. It was a mad-house in there every time I have stopped since Thanksgiving , BUT they have 5.7 ammo at 29.99 a box and a limit of 1 per day per customer. I will be honest, it bothered me but when I bought my 1 box yesterday... I talked to Larry at the counter, he was offered $44.00 a box for the stuff and refused. ( the entire lot ).... That would be a substancial profit, instead he opted to limit the purchase quantity ... probably for several reasons.
2nd is Big Dog Outfitters ( aka A & A Arsenal ), they had a 5.7 for sale , yes it was a little high as comparred to the 1150 it was going for but they did sell it at a reasonable price considering market conditions. In other words they did not jack it up to 2k and put it on gunbroker or some other " glorious " web bidding sale place.
I my self would rather support our forum sponsors and small business owners, especially when they keep their prices beneficial. My intent was to help my brother find a 5.7. YES... I am my brothers keeper. We will remember these businesses in the future for our purchases, and above all ..... I like hearing about small business owners NOT gouging the public or at least the intermediate level enthusiasts.

Electrical engine harness(what are these?)
I am in the process of getting items together for an S54 swap into my e36. I am gunking around a used engine I purchased today and seeing what I have and what I don't have. I was missing the harness for the coils which I found. Can anyone help me with what it in these pictures. I am looking to identify the part that is in the upper left corner of the head. Next to the shop light. I do not have these items.
Thank you!
Note: I might have found out......it could be wiring for the automatic transmission but not sure. I found some fittings that looked like it on ebay by searching for harnesses.
Thanks for any help. I might not even need this.

David Lee and Dorell Wright added 15 points apiece for the Warriors.
With Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry struggling to a combined 15 points
on 6-of-24 shooting, Golden State turned to Rush and the rest of its
bench in the fourth quarter.
The Warriors trailed, 68-67, at the start of the fourth when Rush
began to go off. The veteran sharpshooter drained a 17-foot jumper and a
3-pointer to give Golden State the lead and spark a 9-0 run.
Rush hit another from 27 feet with 5:03 left to push the lead
to 83-72 and banged home his third 3-pointer of the quarter with 3:28
left, keeping the Warriors clear at 88-76.
The Kings recovered to pull back within 91-90 on Isaiah Thomas' third
3-pointer in the final 2:45 but Rush knocked down two free throws with
2.2 seconds left to seal it.
Tyreke Evans collected 21 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists for Sacramento, which has dropped five straight.

check timing
Hope im in the right place to post this! I searched but didnt find what i was looking for.
If i have a timing gun that can be advanced do i still have to do everything thats listed on the little label under the hood? Can i just set the gun to 20 and then it should show TBC on the marker? I i can just do that, i did but had to set the gun to 30 degrees to get it to TBC. If my car were actually off by 10 degrees how bad would it run?
reason i am checking this is because my car seems to have lost a bit of power going up hill, "stumbles" whennot allot of pressure on the carb and has a slight backfire. Also the car used to start right up once warm and now i am having to keep the starter turning longer before the car runs and even then it takes off kind of slow.
can someone help me out with the timing question and if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
recent changes to the motor include plugs, fuel filter, fan clutch, changing bad vacum lines, and cleaning.
Re: check timing
Also before the timing came into question i had a light knock coming from the front of the engine and just relized that it could have been the timing chain. The knock was not consistant but had more of a pattern. its stayd for a while but i dindt drive thte car until i was ready to take it to a shop. i took it to work and had plans of the shop afterwards but as i was showing a co-worker the motor made a few big knocks as i was reving it and then it want away.
Could that have bee the chain? If so then it would still loose and making noise though.......... i dont know, any help???

Macau Gaming: Time To Trim Positions, JP Morgan Downgrades MGM China
J.P. Morgan is turning cool on Macau casinos, saying the stocks are already looking like they are fairly valued. After all, the sector has recorded an average gain of 137% since the beginning of 2013.
In particular, the broker downgraded MGM China, controlled by MGM (MGM), to Neutral.
The broker warns that we may see more negative surprises this earnings season. Here are analysts Kenneth Fong and Daisy Lu:
Valuations have yet to hit "bubbly" levels in our view (21x FY14E P/E, against 20% earnings growth), but multiples have expanded significantly, and the sector has also just seen a wave of Streets upgrades, (notably) more analysts are starting to factor in more aggressive growth assumptions and using DCF to justify valuations. After adjusting price targets to take into account the new casino projects and FY14/15E estimates, we recommend that investors trim positions.
Valuations are approaching a fair point. A Macau stock is comprised of two components: value of asset in place, and growth asset (i.e. Cotai operations). J.P. Morgan finds that, using fundamental valuation, only Sands China (LVS) and Wynn Macau (WYNN) have upsides to their current market value. Even for these two names, the upsides are not large, at 13% and 16% respectively.
Going forward, J.P. Morgan suggests two investment strategies:
1) Short term: we suggest stocks with low market expectations and showing strong operating momentum. (i.e. Wynn ) or stocks that are likely to beat in 4Q results (i.e. Melco Crown (MPEL)).
2) Medium term: With no new supply over 2014 and 1H15, the operators that have the most room to optimize are likely to deliver above industry earnings growth. (i.e. Sands China ).

Carrying Twins
The discovery that you are carrying twins usually comes at your first abdominal ultrasound (7-8 weeks gestation) - a far cry from our parents' generation, when as many as 50 per cent of women did not know they were carrying twins until they were born.
As you'll find here, there isn't necessarily a stark difference when carrying twins. Common complaints may be more exaggerated, and you may need to modify your lifestyle more and perhaps stop work earlier than anticipated. Multiple pregnancies will often be a bit more involved, with more tests and medical interventions.
Multiple births are happening more commonly than they once were. This is due to a number of factors:
Older Mums
With many women waiting until they are well into their 30s before even thinking about conceiving, multiple births are on the increase. Blame hormones! Women in their 30s and 40s have higher levels of the sex hormone, oestrogen, than younger women - making their ovaries more likely to produce one egg at a time.
For some older mothers, though, conception can only come about with the help of assisted reproductive techniques such as IFV. These techniques can increase the chances of multiple births. Twins make up around 90 per cent of multiple births.
The greater the number of pregnancies a woman has already had, the higher her odds of conceiving twins. For women under 20 years of age the incidence of conceiving non-identical twins is about 3 per 1000 births (0.3 %). For women in the 35 to 40 years age bracket, the incidence increases to about 14 per 1000 births (1.4%). If you are over the age of 40, be aware that the incidence declines again.
Are you a fraternal twin? Or do you have fraternal twins siblings? If so, you are more likely to conceive fraternal twins of your own.
Identical Twins
This occurs when one fertilised egg splits and develops two babies - each containing exactly the same genetic information.
Fraternal Twins
When two eggs are fertilised by two sperm and produce two genetically unique children they are called fraternal twins. Twins are more likely to be female (50.3 percent) than they are to be male.
Being the mother to twins (or more) will be busy but, as with any motherhood experience, full of plenty of very rewarding fun times too.
Be sure to seek support if you need it and don't be afraid to ask family and friends for help in the lead up to, and the days after the birth of your babies.

University of South Carolina Upstate students can now enjoy outdoor classes, and the entire campus community is welcome to gather for activities such as picnics, campus events, and reunions at the Dr. Lawrence E. Roël Garden Pavilion nestled in the Susan Jacobs Arboretum.
The Roël Pavilion was conceptualized primarily as an outdoor classroom. And what student doesn't jump at the chance to go to class when it's held outdoors? Seating for students can be arranged for small classes of about 30 students and large classes or groups of up to 150, from round picnic bench style to formal rows. From biology to ecology, and many other subjects in between, the facility, built from natural materials, will be a refreshing place for learning.
The Roël Pavilion is situated at the west end of the Arboretum, near the
P. Kathryn Hicks Visual Arts Center. But no matter from which direction you approach the pavilion, it beckons as a beautiful and shady open air classroom naturally nestled into the garden landscape.

IMO, the only real "gun" law that exists IS applicable to all citizens already: the Second Amendment.
But so long as the 2A exists and state's rights is valued, the last thing in the world we should allow is the feds to strip the states of their right to govern themselves. To sweep up all weapons-related law to be centralized at the federal level is an extreme threat to all citizens and their ability to remain at arms-length distance from government's grasp.

Mediaite reports that ABC's star producer Shonda Rhimes – creator of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal" – reacted strongly to reports of former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's remarks on women before the Republican National Committee.
"I want Mike Huckabee to wake up tomorrow having suddenly grown a vagina," Rhimes wrote on YouSay.com, "Then I wanna deny his vagina proper medical care and birth control while making crazy statements about his libido. And see how he likes it." Huckabee's remarks about women's libidos and "Uncle Sugar" had a rather elastic run through the left-wing outrage machine. Here's how it was originally stated:
"Women I know are outraged that the Democrats think that women are nothing more than helpless and hopeless creatures whose only goal in life is to have the government provide for them birth control medication," Huckabee said. "If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it."
"Women I know are mart, educated, intelligent, capable of doing anything that anybody else can do," Huckabee said. "Our party stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women. That's not a war on them, that's a war for them."
That's not saying women are sluts. It's saying that Democrats, by basing their whole political appeal on free contraceptives (and if they had their way, tax-subsidized abortions), look like they think women vote first and foremost on who will financially aid their sex lives. Huckabee responded to Rhimes with a statement to TheWrap.com:
"Ms. Rhimes' comment seems to be directed at the misquotations of my speech which were made by certain members of the media. Even they were forced to admit they got it wrong and had to issue a correction. Maybe Ms. Rhimes will issue a correction as well.
"As a strong, and powerful woman, I believe Ms. Rhimes would agree that women are not helpless, and they have the capacity to manage their lives without the intervention of big government. The real scandal is the fact that Democrats continue to portray the women of America as helpless victims of gender who need government assistance in order to manage their reproductive systems. I think far more highly of women than that."

My mum came to visit me for a week's holiday, and less than 12 hours after I'd picked her up from the airport, she was dead.
Before we'd had a chance to have a decent conversation about those important inconsequences of life - how was the rest of the family back in Scotland, how was her back today? - I was doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her in my guest bedroom, desperately trying to keep her alive until the ambulance arrived.
At the hospital, they tried everything they could to save her, but none of it was any use, and just as dawn broke, they turned off her ventilator. As I sat there, holding her hand, with the sun creeping round the corner of the window, shining on her for the last time, I was overwhelmed by a sense of bewilderment. How could this have happened? How could my mum, a vibrant, all-there 83-year-old, who'd had her share of illness, but nothing bad enough to kill her, who'd come for a holiday to see her granddaughters, our new kittens, how we'd decorated the hall, just have died?
But that wasn't the the end of it.
On top of everything you expect from grief there was a realisation. One that grew as I lay fretting in the many wakeful wee, small hours, going over what had happened and the practicalities that necessarily followed. As Mum lived in a council house - a lifelong believer in the socialist ideal of the council house being for families who couldn't afford to buy, she had resolutely refused to let us buy her council house for her - when I notified the council to tell them she'd died, as I'd have to do soon, they would want the house back within weeks, and with that house would go my home in Scotland, my Scottish foothold.
This new emotion - of feeling cast adrift, homeless, stateless - began to fill me. Of course, I'm sure lots of other people have experienced it. I've known friends whose parents have sold their childhood home and they've talked about the loss of the place that held all their childhood memories. I now understand their sense of loss. But this was more than that.
One friend, who was brought up in the north of England but now lives in London, said he realised he was now a southerner when his dad died.
Then I suppose there are people who emigrate to the UK from another country and over time find that life here becomes more relevant. Perhaps their parents and close relatives die or emigrate themselves, and unless they've consciously become British, they exist in this mid-air state - which is really their nationality, their home country?
For me it's all of those, plus this sense that when I go back to Scotland - the country I still consider home despite the fact I have a husband and children and a house in London and have lived here for more than 20 years - we won't just be able to roll up at Mum's house, destroying her order, filling her calm house with noise, and stay for as long as we like, lolling about exactly as I've always done, as we would at home in London. Every time we go I'll now have to think, "Who shall we stay with?"
My eldest daughter won't have her own bedroom specially decorated with Barbie stickers, as she had at her Gran's. I won't have my teenage bedroom, albeit the David Cassidy posters no longer on the wall, but still there, rolled up behind my old speakers on top of the wardrobe, one corner peeking out for me to see.
My relatives have been fantastic and have said, "You must come here", and so I know that I will always have somewhere to go, and will enjoy going there, and building new traditions, but - and I hope this isn't hurtful - it's not the same as going home. A fact that was brought home to me in June.
Mum died at the end of May and by the end of the following month - 33 years since we moved in, give or take a day - with the help of my wonderful niece, nephews, cousins and friends, we'd cleared her house and handed in the key.
Why did I do it so quickly? Lots of reasons, but the main one is that the council wants its house back as quickly as possible for the next person on the list, and so once it's been notified, it only gives a few weeks for the keys to be returned. Even with an extension because I lived so far away, I'd maybe have eight weeks. The extra time wasn't going to make things any easier.
So I set a date for a long weekend in Scotland and went up to Mum's for the last time, with my shattered heart trailing somewhere around my boots. The moment I turned the key in the back door - only tradesmen and the doctor used the front - I began to cry because I knew that when I opened the door into the kitchen, the spot where Mum would usually be standing, ready to greet me, would just be space.
And from there it got steadily worse. As I waited for family to arrive to help, I got on with the job of clearing out my bedroom. We'd moved into the house when I was 14 - the day Scotland beat Zaire in the 1974 World Cup, and I always remember that the TV was the first thing out of the removal van and set up by my dad and uncles, ready for the match.
I'll never forget the look of horror on Mum's face as they all suddenly stopped unpacking and congregated round the set while she was surrounded by boxes and furniture plonked in all the wrong rooms.
When I left home in my early 20s, I just took what I needed, and although Mum had long ago commandeered my wardrobes for her enormous clothes collections - seven packed wardrobes! - I found the drawers and cupboards were still full of my old things. School books, jotters, science projects, birthday cards, letters from long-forgotten friends, 21st birthday cards, rosary beads, chocolate boxes made into jewellery boxes using instructions from Jackie magazine.
And then, just when I thought I was coping and managing to deal with sifting through all these memories, I found an enormous card with "21" on the front and inside was written a birthday message, just from Dad. It was amazing to see his writing - usually Mum had written the cards - and as I traced it with my fingers I realised I hadn't seen his long, looping style in the 20-odd years since he died. And that's when I realised, how much bigger this whole thing was. It wasn't just finding a good home for Mum's extensive shoe collection, or deciding what to do with the radiogram she seldom played but which had had pride of place in the living room for virtually as long as I could remember. It wasn't even just about me clearing out teenage clutter that I should have tackled long ago. It was about the breaking up of a family, my family, not one that had existed a century before where the members were ghostly shadows only known from photographs, but a family that had until four weeks before, been living and breathing and alive. A family that had existed in my home town for several decades, where my mum and dad had been born and grew up, and met and married, and had their children. And now none of us would be there, or have any reason to go there. That's what was so heartbreaking and horrifying and plain hard.
Now I feel like one of those bits of hairy, reddish-brown seaweed that you see floating aimlessly just under the surface of the sea when the tide is going out, swaying to and fro, this way and that, rooted, but with no sense of deliberately being there. Maybe I should have seen this coming, bought my own place in Scotland, in my home town, but like all life-changing, profoundly emotional events, you don't really understand what it feels like until it happens.
I have roots, my gorgeous family, but are we where we should be, where we want to be? I'm Scottish, I only came to London for five years to see how I got on, I had every intention of going back, as does my husband, but where to now, because Scotland to me is Mum's house?
And although I can go back to the house, I can only stand outside, I can't go in. Do I feel cast adrift because I've lost my foothold in Scotland, or because I've lost my mum? Like the seaweed, I have no idea.

Pop rivets have held hood scoops on hoods for many years in the past, however, with the quality of adhesives today, gluing a scoop on is the method of choice. 3M's 08116 and 08115 body panel adhesive will hold quarter panels on cars and some manufacturer's even go to greater extremes for the use of body panel adhesive.
If you do choose to use body panel adhesive the difference in part #'s I gave you in 3M is speed only. The 08115 and 08116 will give you plenty of work time to make sure your scoop is on straight and where you want it. I just checked my fastest 3M stock and the part # is 08147....this will give you a work time of 20 seconds and bond time of 30 seconds with total cure in 1 minute....much to fast for your application but, just to let you know how fast they can make adhesivesand there is a range of product in between the 1 minute cure time and the overnight cure time of the 08116...(Come to think of it I don't know what I would need to bond together that quick for myself or why I have it....must of been a sample from the 3M guy).
3M is an expensive product but, does work well, other manufacturer's also make adhesives that are a bit easier on the wallet like Norton, Dominion Sure Seal etx.
Hope this helps.

A Lake Forest woman wounded a neighborhood dog with a pistol after it repeatedly bit her 6-year-old daughter on her face and body.
Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says the girl was playing with her younger sister in the family's driveway on Wednesday when the dog attacked.
Jennifer Cooper, who was on the porch, took one shot at the brown-and-white boxer with a Glock pistol after it chased after her as she hustled her children indoors. The girl's 14-year-old brother punched the dog and Cooper tried to kick it before going for the gun.
The girl was treated at the scene by paramedics.
The dog was taken to a veterinarian for its wounds.
The dog does not have an ID tag and authorities are trying to identify its owner.

Marc Morial signaled that ensuring the fiscal cliff does not hurt blacks is one of his priorities.
"Preserving tax cuts for those already battered Americans is the very least that our leaders can do to give some continuing relief to low-, middle- and working-class Americans," Morial told reporters on Monday.

Identity is unique, multiple and dynamic. This paper explores common attributes of organisational identities, and examines the role of performance management systems (PMSs) on revealing identity attributes. One of the influential PMSs, the balanced scorecard, is used to illustrate the arguments. A case study of a public-sector organisation suggests that PMSs now place a value on the intangible aspects of organisational life as well as the financial, periodically revealing distinctiveness, relativity, visibility, fluidity and manageability of public-sector identities that sustain their viability. This paper contributes to a multi-disciplinary approach and its practical application, demonstrating an alternative pathway to identity-making using PMSs.
