The first Bob Marley song I was ever aware of was Buffalo Soldier - it was a posthumous hit, released in 1983. And of course it became one of Bob's biggest hits.
A year later the compilation Legend turned up. I was a young kid but this album blew me away. I now have a copy on vinyl but I've owned it on cassette tape and CD. I've worn out two CD copies - it was a student-flat favourite, a family get-together favourite, a car favourite. Bob Marley's Legend is one of the very few albums I figure you can play to cater to a wide audience and you'll (mostly) get it right. Even people who claim to dislike Marley - or have never really listened to his music - will enjoy (or at least not be put off by) Legend.
I still consider it one of the greatest Greatest Hits albums of all time; one of the absolute best Best Ofs. And I'm clearly not alone - as far as I'm aware Legend is the greatest-selling reggae album of all time.
Across the 1970s the version of reggae that Bob Marley and The Wailers presented to a worldwide audience was a mixture of reggae's roots and soulful pop music.
I don't listen to Marley's music that often these days: the huge amount of awful reggae music that seems to have been created in vague tribute to Marley - you even sometimes see a shout-out to the spirit of Marley in the CD liner notes - has put me off. That might sound stupid, it might seem petty but it's the truth. And much as I love/d Legend - it was just, well, done to death. By me. By everyone.
New Zealand seems to have a special connection to Bob Marley's music - and Marley was certainly interested in New Zealand, in Maori culture. His birthday coincided with our Waitangi Day and, apparently, Marley was somewhat touched by this, and thought it was pretty cool.
But the downside of this connection is that so much of the reggae music that has come from New Zealand has been embarrassing, painful - so clearly missing the mark. It has given reggae a bad name. Well, that's how I see it. Just the same two-chord skank and some stoned wannabe-aphorisms and repetitive peace and love messages.
Anyway, I realised that the best thing to do was actually play some Marley, not hide it and consider it tarnished.
Recently - as a result of the new shelves - I found my copy of Babylon by Bus, a double live album by Bob and the Wailers, one of the first LPs I ever bought. I hadn't listened to this in years and instantly I was hit by this powerful music. The live albums are great; it was always a killer band but I especially love the work of Carlton Barrett on drums and Aston "Family Man" Barrett on bass. The twin guitars of Al Anderson and Junior Marvin add some rock and blues to the songs live. And Bob Marley was a fantastic rhythm player.
The first step in my Marley re-appreciation was the release, this year, of Live Forever: The Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh, PA, September 23, 1980 - the final concert before Marley's death in 1981. Like other Marley live albums (1975's Live! is another vinyl favourite), this is a killer set of songs by a killer band. There's energy and intensity from both band and audience - in keeping with the music there's the right build and follow-through in terms of call and response.
Bob Marley is a rightful King of reggae, a gateway drug: the person who took reggae to the mainstream, but did it without compromising his message, his songwriting - the music we got to hear was the sound of his soul, the story he had to tell.
And so Babylon by Bus and the other live albums sent me back to my picks from the studio albums. Catch a Fire (1972), with so many great Marley and Peter Tosh songs as well as Bob really rising up as the superstar of reggae. I always loved 1974's Natty Dread - probably because it was one of the first LPs I ever bought (I picked it up at the same time as Babylon by Bus) but what a great way for an album to start with Lively Up Yourself, No Woman, No Cry and then Them Belly Full (But We Hungry).
Exodus (1977) is another fave - I hunted this one out after the Natural Mystic compilation. Kaya (1978) is part of my collection because I was so hooked on Babylon by Bus I wanted to get hold of the album that tour was in support of. And I'm a fan of Uprising (1980) too; the final album - with Could You Be Loved and Redemption Song being the songs everyone knows.
There was so much great music from Bob Marley - and I'm only talking about the material from the 1970s. There was a decade of music before that, moving through ska and rocksteady as well as reggae. The Wailers disbanded in 1974 and from there it was Bob Marley & The Wailers. So many groundbreaking songs, so many stunning performances. And albums that influenced some great (and sadly some truly awful) music.
It's been nice going back through some of the Bob Marley material. I'm sure I'll head further back to the original Wailers from here.
What do you think of Bob Marley? Is he reggae's guiding light and gateway drug? Or did you never quite understand the hype? What are your favourite albums? What's your favourite period of Bob's music? And who do you think carries the torch, if anyone?
This is my story. This has been about Bob Marley and me. Now tell me about Bob Marley and you.

Bob was ok.
To me, music should stand on its own, without stage props, lasers, costume changes, videos etc, and I have a special hatred of music that requires you to be either stoned or chemically enhanced to enjoy it, as without the influence of weed or e's it is inevitably dire.
Bob's music stands on its own. Conjures up images of summer nights on the beach, and it seems ok for even middle class white boys to nod along to without embarassment...
I used to have all of his major label studio albums, but I never listened to them - now I'm just down to Legend and Exodus. I guess I find his sound a bit monotonous sometimes, but he did write some really great songs. Which is more than most of the NZ bands that have followed him can do.
I'm quite fond of Bob, and will be forever grateful that through the Wailers I found Peter Tosh. I'll listen to Bob when I want some cruisy Sunday afternoon sounds, but when I want to feel a righteous fire in my belly I'll turn up the Bush Doctor.
Your sentiments on kiwi reggae aren't so arrogant as they use to seem.heard that Legend has sold more copies in NZ per head of capita than the rest of the world - that might explain your theory.
I never liked Bob Marley until I went to Vanuatu...it was all that people played wherever you went and in that sort of third world environment that Bob grew up in back in Jamaica you sort of go "ohhhhh....context!" He definitely has his place in the legends lounge...far beyond being a convenient excuse for white boys to grow dreads and smoke up a storm.
Fever....Jungle Fever! Love this song, so simple and raw....the snow is falling outside but I've put on some Bob Marley to take me away to a warmer place. Great article!
Bob Marley is definately the King of Reggae, not only did he make reggae big in NZ but he also enlightened us about the Rastafaian culture
Im proud that NZ produces some of the best reggae in the world (in my own opinion) with the likes of The Black Seeds, Katchafire and House of Shem
'One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain'
Funnily enough had heard the popular songs on and off over the years but was never a huge fan, didn't dislike the music but wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it. That all changed though after picking up first Catch A Fire then Exodus. Listening to the full albums, as well as the 'hits' in context to the albums, really opened my eyes to how great the Wailers were.
I love Bob Marley. We sing Three Little Birds to our 4 year old, she loves the music too and often requests the song. She asked to be sung Three Little Birds when she's feeling 'really bad'. Gorgeous moment the other day when she was holding our new baby and singing him Three Little Birds and he was smiling back at her (awwwww). That's one of the great things about music isn't it...it becomes a marker for stages in your life. With Bob it was when we were younger having fun and now it's coming back into our family life too. Thanks for the article.
your comments on the downside of NZ reggae is stupid. there is a whole lot more good kiwi reggae than bad. just stick to talking about your relationship with Uncle Bob rather than NZ Reggae. Bob's underlying messages in his lyrics give empowerment. Simon you should listen to "CRAZY BALLHEAD" LOL

I thought the oems were single pot in he back? In any case the better brakes in the front are a great idea. After all, when you slam on the bakes all the momentum and weight will be on those front brakes.
When i changed my brakes the fronts were shot and my rear set still had more than half life. Im at 65k mi and still on my originalset of rear pads
Chris...is it burning up or do you see drops on the driveway?
Last edited by ansonowicz; 11-18-2007 at 03:51 PM.
its not burning or dripping but there is a nice coat of oil all over the bottom of my engine and oil pan. i think i got it located to a rubber oil line that connects to a coolant line because its covered with oil and the hose next to it has no oil on it. now i think i have a bad pulley bearing or something on my eninge. i knew i should have just bought a stock 06-07 2.5 engine instead of lusting over a super uber built motor. if this motor breaks again, there would be no way i could fix it again and ill probably just sell it and get me a hyundai or kia

Umm...i've used this trick on my jeep. But i got a spray bottle of liquid laundry detergent & mixed with water (about 50/50). I covered the entire engine bay with it (cold engine), let it sit for about 20min and hosed it down. everyting was degreased without a slick residue like simple green. After everything was pristine, I found exactly where my oil leak was. On top of that, it smelled spring fresh.
Sup Fellas,
I just got laid off from my work....now i have to find another job...but the good thing is im getting paid for the next 3 months from the company
can anyone pass the F4 logo/sticker art to me? id hate to send someone all the way to the block for a sticker...trust me..i KNOW a LOT of diehards id feel are worthy o the F4 club name.
also, i think we need some meets...like i said i WILL be at the ESX meet on the 2nd. ill actually be there early. itd be badass if i could get most of us to attend...**** i bet i could keep a section of parking just for members
Yea and anyone that lives close enough, should def hit me up! i think the only people ive seen since coming back were anson and eric!
oh yea..im good with F4 #20
can we get a list of the active members? also, whats the last number...Dan (i think thats his name) from EDO wants 28 (thats a club hook-up i think) as would be ESX im guessing and whomever else we find that joins with shop connections
i propose the 9th meet at jasons parents MANITORY!
club meeting...esp if we are trying to re-vive it...i know we could potentially become LARGER than F4LV!!
we could also teach the newcommers about their cars..i mean we DO have a really large source of knowledge between all of us (me eing the GC body specialist..lol)
i also say we allow more than wrx's in the club..like hot ass legacy's and foresters..maye even older subarus...maybe call this F4 2.0 ;P
Does your shop have limited/special access to copper plugs for the rex? All threads on the board are for the ej20. the 06 WRX plugs are NOT the same as the STi ej25.
Since i'm waay beyond +100hp over stock, I might even need 2 steps colder? One step colder for the 06 WRx in copper doesn't exist in NGK. any other brands you can think of? I've been looking for almost a week now online for a decent priced set of coppers.
I basically need 14mm thread, 26.5mm Reach, Gasket seat, 5/8" HEX, and .028-.031 gap.
Hey wasup guys. I am looking for a wrx 440 injectors. I need it ASAP.
I live in San Diego and go to fusion meets every tuesday.
Here is the thread.
Sorry, I dont' have anything to offer here. As a matter of fact, i don't think anyone in this group has anything less than 565cc!
By the way, Welcome to the boards. I know you're in kind of a bind right now....but try asking next time. Perhaps even a polite intro and a thank you would work.
Would you walk up to a stranger and say, "Hey! I need this from you". Just because we're on a board doesn't mean manners don't count anymore.
I'm not bashing or trying to be negative...just politely making an observation.Maybe I'll see you in San Diego one of these days & we can trade a friendly handshake & 'hello'.

From Convincing the Judge
- How frequently should status conferences occur?
- What are the most useful pre-trial procedures?
There was a time when documents were few, discovery was limited, and cases were tried quickly. Now, however, judicial management is incredibly important; without it, a case simply may not proceed. Discovery, for example, can seriously delay a case, consume a litigant's resources, and in the end, turn out to be completely useless. Lawyers can become so involved in the details of discovery that they forget about the main issues of the case.
Most judges see discovery management as the most important aspect of litigation. Their goals are that each party obtain relevant discovery without undue cost, that neither party is overwhelmed by irrelevant discovery, that the discovery process takes place with reasonable speed, and that discovery is conducted professionally.
Being a good case manager is more difficult in practice than theory. Most judges find that a management plan is only the beginning. Thus, they hold regular status conferences, set tight schedules for serving discovery, require responses to be served in a timely manner, request counsel to promptly file motions to compel if discovery is not forthcoming, and impose rigid deposition schedules.
All judges prefer to resolve disputes informally, and they strive to decide discovery motions promptly if possible. Many judges find that frequent status conferences are helpful. They learn that it is impossible for the parties to put a case on the backburner when the progress of the case must be reported regularly to the court. Periodic conferences require that problems be dealt with promptly. Judges find that when lawyers know they are being monitored, they are far less likely to play games.
The courts, however, have trouble accomplishing good case management without cooperative counsel. As a result, they are wary of litigators who believe the rules of procedure are weapons in a war of attrition and that delay and confusion are legitimate methods of battle. Your job is not to become one of those litigators.
Moving the Case Along
Judges are clear in their desire that the parties should be prepared at the pre-trial conference to discuss evidentiary problems. They appreciate counsel who suggest ways to deal with the evidentiary issues likely to present themselves in the particular case before the court.
Where bulky or voluminous exhibits are involved, the judge may require submission of extracts or summaries on the condition that underlying documents be made available for cross-examination. Cumulative and unnecessary exhibits can be eliminated. Pre-trial designation and exchange will also reduce the time required at trial for admission of documents into evidence.
Some judges require the parties to present the direct testimony of certain witnesses by written narrative statements exchanged before trial. This procedure, appropriate for trials in complicated cases where witness credibility is not a critical issue, often makes for a better record and more effective cross-examination.
Judges often find that discussing routine procedural matters—such as jury selection, scheduling of witnesses, and handling of demonstrative evidence—avoids surprise, confusion, and delay at trial. The pre-trial conference, in effect, is a preview of each party's trial presentation, paring it down to its essentials and anticipating as many problems as possible.
Effective Judicial Oversight
When a pre-trial motion may dispose of all or part of the controversy, the judge will set filing and hearing dates. If an early settlement is a possibility, the judge will often arrange another conference and urge the parties to concentrate their efforts on settlement. Where a trial appears likely, the judge will establish discovery deadlines, pre-trial conferences, and the date for trial.
The facts, the parties, and the counsel in each case are unique, so the court adjusts the schedule accordingly. Most judges will hold status conferences either when requested by a party or when it appears that problems are developing, particularly in connection with discovery. By handling discovery disputes informally, the court can often quickly resolve them.
Of course, not all discovery disputes can be handled without motions. But by simply being accessible, the court may prevent problems. For example, refusal to answer a question in a deposition may be quickly resolved by a telephone conference with the judge. The availability of the court to grant appropriate relief removes much of the incentive to abuse discovery procedures either by burdensome demands or recalcitrant responses.
Judges say they find that the proper use of status conferences has a dramatic effect on their motion calendar. Many disputes that might have generated motions are resolved because the attorneys are aware that the court is readily available to make a decision if a party maintains an unreasonable position.
Foreseeing Problems
There is a touch of irony in judicial case management. In most cases, the more it is needed, the less effectively it will be executed. This is because the most effective management tool is the prospect of an early trial, and that possibility becomes more remote as the court's docket grows in size.
Judges contend that it is therefore essential that cases that go to trial be tried as quickly and efficiently as possible. Meaningful pre-trial procedures help attain that goal by avoiding cumbersome and repetitive matters.

A former schools minister who championed the Evening Standard's literacy campaign has revealed that reading was the issue closest to his heart.
Nick Gibb, who visited the school at the centre of the campaign, said more needs to be done to boost literacy. In an interview with Attain, the magazine for private schools, he said an "unacceptable" one in five children were still leaving primary school struggling to read well.
Mr Gibb visited St Mary's RC primary in Battersea last year to hear how children did in their Sats following the introduction of a team of reading volunteers who worked with the pupils. He said he was "enormously grateful to the Evening Standard" after hearing that results had leapt in the space of a year.
Mr Gibb is a supporter of the phonics system of teaching reading and was instrumental in introducing the phonic check — a test for six-year-olds to see if they can "decode" words.
Referring to statistics which show that 44 per cent of boys eligible for free school meals do not reach required standards in reading, writing and maths compared with three quarters of other 11-year-olds, he said: "It's just unacceptable. And so something did have to be done to tackle that and I am absolutely convinced that in the years ahead we will see that gap between children from poorer families and those from well-off families closing as a result of this more systematic approach to teaching reading." Mr Gibb was minister for schools for two and a half year before a reshuffle last September.

Christian Character (17 of 23) by Stephen Whitney

Series: Colossians - The Supremacy and Sufficiency of Christ
Stephen Whitney
Colossians 3:12-14
The death of cowboy Roy Rogers on July 6, 2000 was viewed by many older moviegoers as the sad finale of their love affair with an idealized American West where the good guys did indeed, wear white hats and the bad guys were always defeated.
Rogers, who died of congestive heart failure at 86, starred in scores of movies and 100-plus TV shows, along with his wife Dale Evans and is beloved palomino horse, Trigger. He openly declared his faith in Christ and spoke up for Christian values. Film critic Leonard Maltin once described him someone who portrayed himself as a good, honest man because "that's what he was."
Roy Rogers did not just play the part of a good guy, he really was a good guy because his godly character shown though.
Character is a distinctive mark made by cutting, stamping or engraving on stone, metal or other hard material. When we talk about a person's character we mean those individual qualities which demonstrate their personality.
Your character is who you are meaning your personality which is reflected outwardly in your actions, attitudes and speech. Believers, whose sins have been forgiven by Christ and their lives changed, should then reflect the character of God.
John Gill wrote, "There is a new course of life, both of faith and holiness; a new way of serving God through Christ by the Spirit. He is become a new creature . . . as it were into a new world."
As a result of the Holy Spirit dwelling in a believer we develop the character of God which replaces our old sinful character.

During the recently held annual conference of The Council of State Governments (CSG), the organization voted on a bill that not only aligns with the goals of Architecture 2030 and The American Institute of Architects (AIA) for establishing carbon-neutral buildings by 2030, but also establishes a model for lawmakers developing legislation around this issue.
Proposed by CSG's Energy and Environment Task Force as "Energy Efficiency/Zero Fossil-Fuel Greenhouse Gas Emission Homes and Buildings," the bill is based on a piece of legislation enacted in the state of Washington in 2009, SB 5854. The bill requires the state to develop and implement a strategy for enhancing the energy efficiency and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of homes, buildings, districts, and neighborhoods. Under the new law, the state is required to design an energy code that accelerates energy efficiency gains in new homes and buildings, with the ultimate goal of achieving structures that emit zero fossil-fuel greenhouse gasses by 2031.
Because the bill is significant both regionally and nationally, CSG's Suggested State Legislation (SSL) Committee voted to include it in the next volume of Suggested State Legislation, the committee's annual catalog of draft legislation, estimated for release between December 2010 and January 2011. State officials around the country use the publication as a reference, learning from the experiences of others who have addressed important issues with national resonance. In accordance with the SSL Committee's approval criteria, "Energy Efficiency/Zero Fossil-Fuel Greenhouse Gas Emission Homes and Buildings" provides a comprehensive model for addressing a complex issue that drafters of similar legislation could find helpful.

Based on the bestselling book by Patrick Senecal, 5150 Elms Way is located at the end of a quiet street in a small town. When Yannick crashes his bike, he stumbles upon the Beaulieu residence seeking help, unaware of the horrors within... Jacques Beaulieu is a righteous psychopath and fanatical chess player, determined to rid the world of evil. His wife Maude has long put up with his physical abuse, but stays with her murderous husband to ensure the security of their youngest daughter Anne, a tormented child suffering since birth from severe mental illness. Oldest daughter Michelle is following in her fathers footsteps, hoping to take over the family business one day. Even though Yannick has done nothing wrong, he is beaten, tortured and tormented before Jacques makes him an offer: win at chess and he is free to go. So Yannick becomes a pawn in a deadly game - a game in which he will either lose his mind or his life.

Some of you read in the General Claims Section that along with my September 2008 Rating Decision of 100% P/T for Dysthymic Disorder with Hashimoto's
Encephalopathy [a very rare condition, as I understand it and just now rated SC, having been denied since 2000], they proposed to rate me, "Incompetent
for VA Purposes."
This was based upon the Psych Doc's evaluation of me at QTC in Alexandria as part of the C&P Exam, and I'm certain the rater also looked at my condition, along with the fact that I also qualify for SMC-S under the Housebound Criteria [100% P/T with a separate combined rating of 90%] -- I know, I'm a mess since the Gulf War, but some days are better than others, and we simply have to do the best we can where we find ourselves...
Along with this came the warning that I was about to lose my right to purchase firearms because the VA reports those they find incompetent to the FBI. Now, I haven't touched a firearm in years, but I'd rather not give up this right...
They gave me 30 days to request a hearing on this issue, and I was able to obtain a letter of support from my VA PCP and simply made another formal statement that I disagreed with this proposal and that I indeed can, "...understand the amount of VA money I get [sic]..." In this statement I also told them that my wife and I are good stewards of any and all funds we receive and that we have a good credit rating; have never been late on a house payment; I don't drink (it's hard enough to concentrate without alcohol on top of everything else these days) nor gamble my money away -- and that I do not need, nor will I accept, a fiduciary to handle my VA funds.
I don't have the letter yet, but I called the 800-number this morning, and the counselor said it's in the mail and they'll release any funds they were holding pending this determination.
For those to follow, seek good counsel to build your package (DAV in my case -- thanks, guys for the advice), and then present your case in the most positive light. Sometimes you'll win.
p.s. While I don't feel that I need a fiduciary currently, I believe that for some veterans, this is a good program. There might also be one or two veterans who have no business carrying firearms, but that's another discussion... *grin*

Let me begin by saying that I liked Prime Suspect 2: A Face in the Crowd much better than Prime Suspect I. However, some of the issues I had with the first book are still there.
The good: the storyline. This storyline was even better than the first. A body of a young, black, female is found buried under a concrete slab in the backyard of a house. The investigation has to determine who was living in the house when the slabs were poured. Once they determine that, it still isn't as easy as it seems, with several characters possibly being involved in different ways. A good solid mystery. At times, I could not put the book down.
The bad: the characters and the "issue" that La Plante seems to chose for each book. In Prime Suspect 1, the majority of the characters were horrible male chauvinist. I mean really horrible: saying and doing things that you would not expect at all in any kind of professional setting. The issue for this book appears to be racism. Again, horrible characters saying and doing horrible things.
"I'm not your brother, I'm a police officer," Oswalde said solid. The guy was trying to play the black power card, and wasn't having any. Burkin would just love that, all dem black folks jess one big happy family crap.
A sheer criminal waste of poll tax, in Burkin's view, most of which had been coughed up by white people to give the jungle bunnies somewhere to hang out all day, amusing themselves at the taxpayers' expense.
I only stayed on because that big darkie wanted me out so badly.
Every few pages, it seemed that some character was making a racist statement. Perhaps I am a purist, but I want my mysteries to be mysteries, not a political commentary. She has covered chauvinism in book 1 and racism in book 2, I am hoping that 3 has no "ism" and is just a good solid mystery.

Detective Onion was the department's best investigator, dedicated, clever, he knew all the tricks to pacify a criminal with almost anything. So the perfect cop, maybe a little embittered but that's just part of the job, or so he believed. He thought very highly of himself, never mind he had yet to catch a suspect alive and had thus caused a quite big bill to the department and had almost been fired. No matter, it's all a part of the job.
The serial killer, who Onion had been chasing for a month now following clues, which only he could find, had earned the nickname "Scissors" around the department. This was earned for the fact that the unknown killer always left a pair of scissors at the body and one less finger then the victim had before death. Onion thought this was quite dumb, why the hell should someone collect fingers? And why leave the scissors; it makes it obvious that he, whoever he was, was involved. Was he trying to brag with his kills? Why not just leave a name at the victim

Will Facebook's IPO Unbottle Southern California's Pipeline?
Will the filing of an IPO by Menlo Park-based Facebook unclock the pipeline of would-be Southern Calfornia IPOs? Facebook filed for its IPO Wednesday afternoon, saying that it is looking to raise up to $5 billion, in what is expected to be the biggest IPO since Google. The firm reported net income of $1 billion on revenues of $3.7 billion in 2011 in its S-1, which is being underwritten by Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs & Co., BofA Merrill Lynch, Barclays Capital, and Allen & Company. Southern California has not had a major, venture backed, technology IPO since May of last year, when Active Network hit the market; it has only one IPO on the calendar this year so far, for Thousand Oaks-based Ceres, expected next week--despite a number of companies who appear to be perpetually in registration, awaiting a turn in the markets.

Sales of Chevrolet Volt Surge as Nissan Leaf Sales Wither
Shane McGlaun
August 2, 2012 9:43 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Volt selling well as other green cars falter
Sales of the Chevrolet Volt extended range electric vehicle have been very much up and down since the car launched. At one point Chevrolet placed
production of the Volt on hold
due to poor demand only to
restart production
earlier than expected due to an uptick in sales. At the same time, sales of the pure electric-powered Nissan Leaf have continued to struggle as it becomes clear Nissan will be unable to meet its lofty sales goals for 2012.
Nissan had expected to sell 20,000 electric vehicles in the U.S. during 2012 and has so far only been able to sell 3,543. During the month of July, Nissan sold just 395 Leaf EVs, which represents a decline of 58% compared to July 2011.
Nissan Leaf
Although Nissan isn't selling very many Leaf EVs, the automaker still insists it will meet its 20,000-unit goal for 2012. That goal seems very unlikely since Nissan will need to sell close to 3,300 Leaf EVs each month for the remainder of the year.
"Our target has not changed," said Nissan spokesman David Reuter on Wednesday, acknowledging that, "sales to date have not met our expectations."
Chevrolet Volt
GM is faring better with its Volt with sales rising compared to July of 2011 to 1,849 units in July 2012 compared to only in 125 units in July 2011. Through the first first seven months of 2012, GM has sold 10,666 Volt extended range electric vehicles for an increase of 270% compared to the first seven months of 2011.
Detroit News
reports that sales of the Volt have been boosted by factors outside of Chevrolet's control, including the fact that California granted lone Volt drivers the ability to access carpool lanes. One in every three Volts sold are purchased in California.
GM sold more than twice as many Volts in July as Toyota sold
Prius plug-in hybrid vehicles
. Toyota moved only 688 of the latest Prius variant during July.

The Feeling - Twelve Stops And Home
Can you cope with listening to an album your Mum and Dad like? You'll come to hate yourself for it, but until airplay smites them, the answer is probably yes. Bugger.Read more on The Feeling Listen to The Feeling on Spotify
Broadsheet journalists love The Feeling. Fact. It's easy to see why; seemingly inoffensive, a bit like the MOR records of the Seventies and Eighties with all the edges smoothed off, it's all very easy. Crap, then? Well, maybe not.
If there's one thing The Feeling are good at, it's writing a pop hook. For all the comparisons to fellow 'nice' bands Keane, Athlete and Snow Patrol that will follow, not many of them can take a track that, in another world could have been a Supergrass style minor hit, slow it down, bliss it out and make it massive. 'Fill My Little World' does just that, and, if we're being honest, is probably only stopped being a Clickmusic favourite by the snake in the video. We don't like snakes.
Elsewhere 'Sewn' and it's 'we're so bloody sincere' refrain "Give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it" will doubtlessly piss everyone right off in a few months time, but right now seems like some kind of guilty pleasure; you know you're going to be ashamed, and you're certainly not going to tell anyone, but actually, it's not that bad.
It's not all that great; 'Love Is When you Call', 'Strange' and 'Anyone' all sound a bit like filler, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to one thing. Can you cope with listening to an album your Mum and Dad like? You'll come to hate yourself for it, but until airplay smites them, the answer is probably yes. Bugger.

Laminate smell
I bought 600 sq feet of Pergo from someone on Craigslist. It was in a garage and looked new but became moldy and smelly. After I bought it, I bleached it, washed it, sprayed lysol and eventually, I threw it away. Then bought 500 sq feet of laminate from another person on craigslist which looked new but it has another different sour smell. Never again. :censored:
I am thinking the sour smell may diffuse since it is out of the boxes. I can't believe I washed the other stuff with pure bleach with no impact.
Craigslist will either go bad or worse....eeek!

Good afternoon. Back to business for us this week on the South Side preparing for the Cleveland Browns. I always view the bye week with mixed emotions. It's always good to step away and reflect a little bit, self-evaluate, make potential corrections, and grow. But at the same time you're always somewhat nervous when you miss out on some action. There's always some anxiety that comes with getting back to action, so we'll have to sort through those feelings this week.
When you watch the Cleveland Browns, they're a 1-4 football team, yes, but they probably played the toughest schedule to this point in the NFL, when you look at the games they played, the teams they played. Tampa Bay, of course, they lost that opener by three points; they've proven to be a good team. The Baltimore Ravens, we know what they are; they lost that game. They beat Cincinnati. Kansas City's proven to be a good team; they lost that game. And of course Atlanta is a good team. They're battle-tested. They've got some new components that we have to worry about.
Offensively, it starts with Peyton Hills, their feature ballcarrier. He's a rough-and-tumble guy that wears you down. That is their personality. They've pounded some teams with him, Baltimore Ravens included in that. Of course we're always worried about Joshua Cribbs, whether as a wideout or return man, both punts and kicks. He's always been a thorn in our side. He's a very good player. It doesn't look like much has changed in that area. At tight end, Ben Watson appears to be a feature target for them regardless of who's playing quarterback. He's a vertical threat, a very athletic guy that's been around some really good football, ex-New England Patriot. He provides big plays for them. They've got a young receiving corps that appears to be getting its feet on the ground – (Mohamad) Massaquoi, (Brian) Robiskie and others. Up front their left side is a big time strength with Joe Thomas at tackle, (Eric) Steinbach at guard and (Alex) Mack at center. They're really doing a nice job of waging a war of attrition on opponents. It's been particularly impressive. (Lawrence) Vickers, their fullback, is a big part of that.
Defensively, they've got some new guys, particularly on the linebacker level, that we have to be ready for and contend with. (Matt) Roth at outside along with (Scott) Fujita are veteran guys that've been around. Fujita of course is coming of a world championship season in New Orleans. They're playing really good ball for them. The guys up front, Robaire Smith, (Ahtyba) Ruben, and (Kenyon) Coleman, play rock-solid football and gap control, and of course they've got a sparkplug, a big one, in Shawn Rogers. This guy's very disruptive. They're playing him in some sub-package ball. They move him around, getting him in some one-on-one rushes versus people they believe will be a formidable matchup. He's got a big-time resume in terms of blocking kicks. He's always big-time trouble for us. Maurkice Pouncey, of course, will be introduced to some more AFC North football this week when he tries to block that man. In the secondary, they got something old, something new. Sheldon Brown is a veteran guy who's been around. T.J. Ward is a young guy that's playing safety for them and really smashing people. He's playing good, physical football kind of reminiscent of Ryan Clark and the way he plays the game. Eric Wright of course holds down the corner spot and is always competitive week in and week out in terms of challenging guys and taking the calculated risks that come with that position. So we're excited, nervous at the same time. That's what coming off bye weeks are all about. I like our preparation to this point. I think we're a relatively healthy team. Really, the only injury of note at this juncture is probably Trai Essex. He went through individual [drills] a little bit yesterday. Chris Hoke doesn't appear to be limited in any form or fashion, which is good news for us. So we'll just keep pushing towards Sunday and continue to work and hone our skills and prepare for an opportunity here to get back in the race, particularly against an AFC North opponent like the Cleveland Browns. Questions.
Q: Who do you think will start at quarterback for them?
A: I have no idea. And I'm really not overly concerned with it. Those are their issues, like our quarterback issues have been ours. They're a professional football team. I'm sure whoever they put in there is going to be capable. We're going to have to respect them whether it's Seneca Wallace or (Jake) Delhomme or Colt McCoy for that matter, or Josh Cribbs. They're going to snap it to someone and we have to be prepared to stop them.
Q: How will you approach Josh Cribbs in the return game?
A: Weather is an element. It always is. We faced him at times where we'd like to keep the ball away from him in the climate as dictated that we weren't given that option. Of course I don't anticipate the weather being that severe this time, but that's a plan that we developed throughout the week and of course with the elements being an element of it.
Q: What happened last year in Cleveland?
A: I think the play of Cleveland was the ultimate determinant of the outcome of that game than our play. They played well. We didn't.
Q: Do you have any plans to change the way you play offensively with Ben Roethlisberger back? And who will be the No. 2 quarterback?
A: We're going to do like we always do this week in terms of catering a plan, our strengths versus their strengths, try to minimize our weaknesses, of course. Ben has many strengths that we're going to utilize, but we also have 10 other men in that huddle who are capable of helping us win so we'll utilize them as well. In terms of the No. 2 quarterback, we haven't decided on that at this juncture, just like we haven't decided who's going to return punts and kicks for that matter.
Q: Do you expect to see more of Cribbs in the wildcat formation?
A: I think we should expect to see a great deal of Cribbs in the wildcat, regardless of their quarterback situation because he had such success against us a year ago and that's usually the nature of this league. When you show areas of deficiency, usually you'll continue to see those challenges until you fix it. And we didn't fix it in that football game. We'll have an opportunity to maybe fix it in this one. If we don't, we're going to see quite a bit of it.
Q: Are you thinking of putting Emmanuel Sanders back on kicks?
A: Yes.
Q: He wouldn't return punts, would he?
A: He is a punt returner, yes. I think he settled under one or two in the preseason, has worked extensively at that once the season's begun.
Q: Will Roethlisberger provide a boost to morale?
A: He always does because he's a ridiculous competitor. When he has an opportunity to compete, you feel him in the room, or in the stadium. It's one of the interesting attributes about him as a player and a person. When faced with adversity, when given an opportunity to compete, man he does. I think guys feed off of that.
Q: In regard to your quarterback circumstances, did you alter your normal bye-week regimen?
A: No, we didn't. I think any alterations to our bye week plans were done more so to acknowledge the early bye week. We're still very much in the early stages of this season and we're very much a developing football team.
Q: Can you sense Mike Holmgren's imprint on the Browns?
A: I haven't because I don't know Mike Holmgren that well personally, in terms of what's important to him from a football standpoint. I know that they made some changes. With change at the top usually comes change. They've got some interesting players, some veteran players. They put together a nice mix of guys. They've acquired people who are making them better. They're doing a nice job.
Q: Why is Rogers only in their sub-packages?
A: I can't speak to why he doesn't play. Of course, talent isn't an issue. Usually when you're talking about men of that stature, a snap count is a relevant issue. I know that he has a big-time opportunity to affect the game in some sub-package football, passing-down things. If a guy that size is going to play 30 to 35 snaps, maybe they feel he's got an opportunity to affect the game more in sub-packages. I don't know that. I know that winning the game, we'd better be prepared to deal with him because he's a very disruptive, powerful, athletic man, similar to the guy that was so disruptive against us last week in (Haloti) Ngata.
Q: What did they do so well defensively against you?
A: They're not out of place. They play smart. They have a nice sub-package, pressure package, that we didn't contend with very well a year ago. And guys made plays at opportune times. There's really no secret to playing good defense, whether you're talking about the Cleveland defense or our defense or anyone's. When guys are where they're supposed to be, guys make timely plays, and they play together and hustle, you've got a chance to play good football. They're doing that.
Q: Do you expect the fans to react positively to Ben's first game back? And ultimately does that matter?
A: Of course it matters. We're a professional sport. We get so much energy off our fans. We work hard to entertain and please them. They really kind of make us go. I expect him to get a warm reception. I really do. I really think that's the nature of Steeler Nation. I know we're excited about having him back. I know he's excited about getting back with his teammates and performing for our fans at Heinz Field.
Q: Will you introduce the offense before the game?
A: I haven't decided who's returning kicks, so you know I don't care about who we're introducing [reporters guffaw].
Q: Have you, or do you anticipate, talking to players about the pitfalls of tweeting, social media, that sort of thing?
A: We've got a general rule here: I don't care whether they tweet; I just don't want to tweet business in any form or fashion. And I think if you stick to that rule then you eliminate any potential things that you have to deal with, or at least you have an understanding in case something happens. I'm not opposed to guys tweeting or facebooking or doing whatever it is that they do now, just don't talk about my business.
Q: Without Ben the first four games, did things go as you expected them to go?
A: No, I thought we'd be 4-0 but we're 3-1. We're moving forward.
Q: Did you see the arm strength in practice?
A: It looked like he's rested. Some of those deep balls to Mike Wallace are entertaining. He's had a good week of practice, but it's just that. Good practice puts you in position to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves in stadiums on game days and you've got to take advantage of those. He's no different than anyone else from that standpoint. I'm sure there'll be some anxieties, some excitement, some nervousness that comes with playing after an extended period of time off. I'm sure he'll quickly kind of get through that as he warms up and gets his competitive juices flowing. All of those are interesting and fun things to kind of be a part of. It really is. We're excited about the opportunity we have this weekend.

2nd story bathroom, drain &vent, please help!!!
Hello everyone!
I am adding a second story bathroom on top of the 1st story bathroom.
1st story bathroom has a 3" drain under the slab, for the toilet, toilet is vented thru 2" pipe and sink discharges into this vent. So it looks like this:
I ---U lv
=== is a 3" pipe, --- is 2" pipe, I is a 2" vent and U is a water trap,
I plan to cut the 3x3x2 tee out, replace it with 3x3x3 tee and run a 3" stack up to the second story, so i can drain a toilet down. The sink and a toilet will be along the same wall and a shower 8' away.
I was hoping to make it simple, run this 3 inch stack to the 2nd floor, it would change to 2" at the tee between the joists and 2" will serve as a vent for both 1st and 2nd floor toilets.
I am not sure if I can drain my sinks and shower into the same stack. and also if i need any extra vents. The way i drew it, that 2nd story shower and a sink will have a separate vent and will drain below 2nd story toilet. Should I extend this 2" stack all the way down and try to drain it into horizontal 3" pipe before the 1st floor toilet vent? I am looking for the simplest solution, horizontal pipe is under the slab and I want to avoid a lot of concrete braking
I would highly appreciate an advice from the professional. Our project is way over budget and we cant afford a licensed plumber to do the work. I pulled a building permit and it means the plumbing will have to pass an inspection.
Thank you very much for your input!
Here is a better diagram, so you guys can see what i am up to.
Please, let me know if it meets the code and if it will work without any issues.
Thanks a lot!
No it will not meet code. You are creating a wet vent for the first floor drains.( Drain water from the second floor is flowing past the first floor vents.) Run the new 3 inch line from the second floor drain back to the 3 inch main drain (horizontal pipe). Tie in the second floor vent into the 3 inch going thru the roof.
Not sure your existing first floor arrangement meets code either, but it existing.
ok ,so i guess i have to preserve a separate vent for the 1st floor toilet and sink, right?
I updated a diagram, also, what fittings should I use?
The whole horizontal 3" pipe is under the slab, and that new vent would have to be under the slab too and have a small horizontal section till it meets the wall. How can I add a horizontal 2" vent to the horizontal 3" drain?
Also, is it OK to have a shower trap 8' away from the vent?

Q: What is the difference between the Professional Series Vitamix and the Vitamix Aspire?
A: The Vitamix Aspire is a blender model offered periodically on TV by The Shopping Channel. It comes with a 48 oz container and a 5 year warranty and is comparable to the home 5200 model. Professional Series Vitamix blenders feature the new lower profile design and come with a larger 64 oz container and full 7 year warranty.
Q: Please can you tell me the differences between the Professional Series and the 5000 model?
A: The Super 5000 and Professional Series are very similar in function. Featuring an updated look, the Professional Vitamix is a newer model, and is the unit that is used by the Culinary Institute of America in their 40 schools of fine cuisine in the United States. They include an amazing cookbook written by Michael Symon, who is an award winning chef that owns a famous restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio. There is also an educational DVD that comes with the cookbook.
We find that the single container with the Professional Series does well with both wet and dry ingredients, so you don't necessarily need a second container unless you want to dedicate a container just for dry ingredients. Both units have a 7-year in home warranty, come with the new Eastman Tritan container (more durable), and a new cover that is easier to remove than the cover design used in previous models.
Q: What are the other Vitamix models? There are a number of other Vitamix model numbers based on various factors including their availability by specific retailer, release date and various unit features. Some of these models include the 4000/4200/4500 TurboBlend series and the 5000/5200 TNC. They are generally sold as home units, not the Professional Series featured here. Looking for more detailed information? Read Vitamix Models Compared: 5200 Vitamix TNC/Aspire vs Professional Series.
Nathan Zassman: I've been using a Vitamix for 40 years and the unit I have at home is 35 years old. While it doesn't compare in performance to the new units, it still works beautifully and is my most valued kitchen appliance. I personally feel that a Vitamix is the most important investment anyone can make for their health, an investment that will continue to give you the gift of health every day. When I founded Aviva, Vitamix was one of the first companies that I contacted, as I felt it was vital that I offered my health conscious customers the same product that I personally use daily.

This book
This song
And you make room for a lot of thoughts on break-ups and people that you used to know.
I have a confession to make. My husband AR was not my first boyfriend. He wasn't even my second boyfriend. I had two relationships in college, one while I was taking my Masters, and one last while I was working and before I met AR.
So of course this book reached out to me. And this song too.
See, the sad thing about breaking up is that you fully trust the other person with who you are, expecting them to love you always and forever, even when you break up, even when they get to know who you really are, no matter how bad it gets.
But relationships, sadly, are ever that way. Even relationships with people you're related to can be secretive, strained, full of venom and spite -- what more people you are not linked to by blood. Both of you always have the choice to walk away.
I guess the most painful part is knowing that there's this other person walking around there in the world, who knew you, really knew you, because you revealed who you were to them, the entirety of you, your thoughts, your secrets, your dreams, your hopes, and they learned to hate you. They learned to tell you, "I love you but I don't like you."
I didn't really want to write this all down. After all, we like to idealize "mothers" and "moms", thinking that their happily married lives are the only ones that matter or ever existed. (P.S. Oh and it's not always happily ever after. We have our fair share of fights, of loneliness, of misunderstandings too you know.)
Not true. I was a complete person even before this marriage. It's just that I was blessed enough to find my soulmate and have a half-angel, half-devil for my child (okay, more like half-monkey).
I usually keep these things to myself. Lord knows that after every painful break-up possible, I didn't want to be so vulnerable again to be judged, drawn and quartered for anyone who is reading this right now.
But this is just for me. I woke up from a dream and I seriously missed the person I met in that dream.
It was about somebody that I used to know. Only, when I woke up, I realized I had never met that person. (It would have made a good story. Girl's married off and forgotten, her memory erased, that she once had this boy she was in love with but had forgotten about. Feel free to use the story idea. Please share with me when you've written it. Would love to hear what it's like.)
It is a literal metaphor come to life. Somebody that you used to know. Only, what's left is just the sadness that you didn't end up together. (Although in the dream, the guy had somehow entered my life again and wanted to find out about me, but I refused to give him any information on what my current life is like. Dear Lord, I hope this is not portents of some kind.)
Anyway, it doesn't help that I'm currently reading this too:
(Why am I not surprised it's going to be made into a movie? Why do people like Nicholas Sparks? Every single one of his movies is traumatic to me. And, yeah, as some die-hard fans have told me, he doesn't kill every one of his characters. Sure. It just feels like he does.)

Now I've seen everything.
(Spotted in Target Bourke Street. There were also some 4th Doctor designs.)
A bit of culture, a bit of politics, a few photos, and way too much about transport.
You know a TV show has gone mainstream when you see a t-shirt for it in the window of Target (as well as having its DVDs advertised on phone boxes).
