Sweet Tamales
Making tamales takes time, but your family will appreciate your effort. The combination of cinnamon, raisins, vanilla and condensed milk create a wonderful variation of this traditional dish.
- 1 pkg. (8 oz.) dried corn husks
- 1 cup lard or shortening, divided
- 2 1/2 cups masa harina flour (Mexican corn masa mix)
- 1 1/2 cups yellow corn meal
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 can (14 oz.) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions, Reviews, Nutrition
BEAT 2/3 cup lard in large bowl until creamy. Combine flour, corn meal, sugar, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl. Alternately add flour mixture, water and sweetened condensed milk to lard, mixing well after each addition. Melt remaining 1/3 cup lard; gradually stir into masa mixture, mixing until consistency of thick cake batter (masa). Stir in vanilla, raisins and nuts.
SPREAD 1/4 cup masa, using back of a spoon, to form a square in the center of one husk. Fold right then left edge of husk over masa. Fold up bottom edge. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
PLACE vegetable steamer in pot with lid; add water to just below steamer. Arrange tamales upright in steamer rack. Cover top of tamales with reserved dry husks and a damp towel; cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Steam, adding water as needed, for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until masa pulls away from husks.

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
sweet, different
It was odd to me, I guess I just like the savory varieties and will leave the sweets to other recipes.
Very Good
This was my first time making any kind of tamales and it was so easy! They turned out so yummy and now I can't wait to share with my friends. Next time i think i'll add some pineapple.
I really liked how they came out, i have tried doing them on my own before but they never had a good flavor, but having this recipe really helped me out. They were very good.
soo tempting
I made these and did not tell anyone. Just served them. I was asked so many times where I bought them. LOL. I finally had to come clean.
Not So Sweet works for me
This recipe sounded interesting. Being a diabetic I decided to reduce the amount of raisins to 1/4 C. My family thought they were tasty and didn't know the recipe called for more raisins. This recipe actually took me about 25 minutes to prepare possibly because I was working with some things I don't regularly use. It was well worth the time. I'll make this again and double batch it - one batch going into the freezer. I think this would be fun to make with the kids.

Is a front-wheel-drive-based pickup in Chevys future?
The Chevrolet Colorado pickup concept unveiled this week reminds me of a conversation I had this year with a General Motors executive. But there was one surprise with the unveiling.
The mid-sized, all-wheel-drive Colorado was shown before the opening of the Bangkok International Auto Show this week.
GM has not said whether the pickup will be sold in North America, but dont be surprised if it shows up at a Chevy dealership in two years or so.
During an interview this year at the Detroit auto show, Jamie Hresko, then vice president of GM global powertrain engineering, strongly suggested the automaker was exploring a new mid-sized pickup.
To meet proposed higher U.S. fuel economy and lower emissions standards, automakers that sell in the United States eventually will need to develop a leaner range of pickups, Hresko said.
At some point, especially with the likelihood of higher gasoline prices down the road, a smaller, lighter-weight pickup is inevitable.
Hresko stopped short of saying GM was developing such a truck, but the Colorado concept fits his description.
As you look around the industry, Hresko said, what you have seen is a massive shift to smaller, more efficient [vehicles], so I think it applies to every segment, including pickups.
An increase in energy costs is inevitable with the expansions in China and other regions. Logic would say prices will go up and some pickup buyers will be looking for a more fuel efficient alternative, he said.
My point is the general population will eventually walk there. I do believe that. I am not sure what the marketers think. To me it is logical, Hresko said.
Theres one thing that Hresko didnt say: that GMs mid-sized pickup would be developed on a front-wheel-drive platform.

I took my Drahthaar, Dixie, on her first real official duck hunt today on the Delaware River and she was able to complete two retrieves. The first was an easy 30 yard retrieve on a mallard. The second was a cripple black duck that swam down river about 50-60 yards and dove on her a few times. She actually went under water to grab the duck and completed the retrieve. Not too bad for a 10 month old puppy! She should have had a few more retrieves but my shooting was a little rusty.
Funny story, while in the blind I noticed that Dixie would shiver for a few seconds then stop for a few seconds which I thought was strange. I then realized that I was using a mojo decoy on an intermittent setting, so every time it would turn on she would get excited and shiver and when it turned off she would stop.

How Membership Flyers And Membershipcards Attract Attention Like A Magnet
Printing club flyers and membershipcard printing appeal to eyes like a magnet. They're a cheap advertising promotion that builds brand awareness and informs guests about an event. Membership cards flyers are simple to distribute and may be handed out, left on a counter, mailed, made into a door hanger or used as an invitation. An 8.5 X eleven Membership card flyer could be folded into a trifold brochure with 6 panels that can be made into a calendar of events or promote 6 occasions or the rest that requires more space to enlighten readers.
The rationale to print club card flyers is to seize curiosity for an event, occasion, charity fundraiser or exciting happening. Consider club cards as mini-billboards that scream for attention. The design ought to signify the emotion of the event. To get noticed, a robust eye candy design with compelling call to motion copy is required to attract interest.
The most affordable method to print a club card flyer's event promotion is to discover a skilled full coloration printing service on-line so you possibly can compare costs and worth quickly. It's best to ensure the printing company presents total shiny UV coating and/or ecofriendly dull/matte or aqueous coating. Runs of 500 or extra are usually printed on a large four, 5 or 6 colour offset press. For runs fewer than 500, jobs are printed on a digital press. Many on-line printing services do not offer these coatings. This is an indication they are using older presses. One other tip isn't pay extra for the coatings. Many on-line printing firms supply it for free. Take note the cheapest worth is probably not the best value. To get firstclass printing and quick turnaround, just a few more dollars won't break your bank account.
There are other methods to grab attention with club card flyers. Two of these new highly effective excessive tech coloration printing strategies are the right resolution for getting seen and remembered. They're spot UV coating and full coloration foil club cards and flyers. They price a little bit more however they're worth it because you get a better attention bump rate utilizing these effects. To find full shade on-line printing companies that offer these value added providers Google "wow factor effects printing". In case you have the time, ask for free samples. Most printers have a hyperlink to order samples.
If you don't have a trusted graphic design service that is aware of to design membership card flyers, it's always a good suggestion to ask your printing service if they can do design in addition to printing. The advantage of getting the printing service doing the design is that they grow to be liable for the quality of the printing. There's a direct line and no intermediary if there is a problem. When you've got a designer that specializes in designing for print make sure they learn the printing corporations File Requirement web page and check the FAQ section.
In my opinion, the best sizes for club card flyers are 4.25 X 5.5, 5 X 7, 5.5 X 8.5, 6 X 9, 5.5 X 8.5 and 8.5 X 11. Take into account, the bigger the size, the larger the bang. The smaller sizes will save money so it's essential to ask yourself what your objective is for the promotion. Is it to save cash or to get an enormous bang for a higher return in your investment? Is it well worth
the threat? Reap the benefits of clubcard printing in your promotions.

Shortly after Adolf Hitler seized power he made up a phony story that communists were trying to set fire to parliament and used that excuse to arrest thousands of opponents. Robert Mugabe, the erratic leader of Zimbabwe is claiming there is a plot by former colonial powers to assassinate the leaders of his country as a prelude to invading and restoring control by colonialists. The air force chief, Perrance Shiri was shot in the arm as part of the alleged plan to get rid of Mugabe and his coterie of thugs and criminals who now run Zimbabwe. According to the government run, Herald newspaper, "the attack on Air Marshall Shiri appears to be a build up of terror attacks targeting high-profile persons, government officials, government establishments and public transportation systems." There are reports of bomb exploding at a police station.
The entire charade is simply a ploy to divert attention from the fact cholera deaths have now passed 1,000 even though Mugabe last week insisted there was no cholera in his country and it was a myth created by former colonial powers. Of course, Botswana and Kenya have been leading the fight to get rid of Mugabe–undoubtedly examples of "former colonial powers." Unfortunately, South Africa has blocked efforts to take action against the criminals who run Zimbabwe.

coming soon. For Nokia Lumia 920 owners who used to be so content with the 4G connectivity on their phones, they now have to be reminded of the OG Apple iPhone during the days when the iconic smartphone ran on EDGE.
Thankfully for those with the crippled Windows Phone 8 flagship model, the powers that be are aware of the problem which is the most important step. Now, it is just a matter of hoping that the next update to repair the problem comes soon and doesn't leave another problem in its wake. More than 70% of those Nokia Lumia 920 owners polled by Windows Phone Central were experiencing these connectivity problems following the 1308 update, so the problem is obviously widespread enough to get Nokia's best men on the job.

Crash of 2015 Won't Wait for Regulators to Rein In Wall Street
The financial system experiences a crisis "every five to seven years," JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon told the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in January. By that measure, the next crash could come by 2015 -- years before new banking reforms are in place.
Many of the measures ordered by Congress and global regulators, aimed at cushioning the financial system in future crises, are years away from being implemented. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision plans to give the world's banks until 2018 to comply with limits on how much they can borrow. Parts of the Volcker rule, a provision of the new Dodd-Frank Act that would force firms to cut stakes in in-house hedge funds and private-equity units, may not go into effect for a dozen years.
Banks' appetite for using borrowed money, known as leverage, for investing in complex, illiquid securities contributed to the worst credit crisis since the Great Depression. The pace at which curbs on leverage are likely to be imposed on the industry contrasts with the speed at which banks including UBS AG and Morgan Stanley are hiring to ramp up trading activities.
"Based on our experience of government's ability to execute these things effectively and in a timely way, we are almost uncovered now from any future financial risk for at least another 8 or 10 years, and that's a little scary," said Roy Smith, finance professor at New York University's Stern School of Business and a former banker at Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
'Glacial Pace'
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who served as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York prior to and during the crisis, said in a speech last week that the administration wants to change the "frustrating, glacial pace" at which rule-writing has occurred in the past. "We will move as quickly as possible to bring clarity to the new rules of finance," he said.
Even so, he said that banks will have until the beginning of 2013 to meet the new minimum capital requirements and "several years beyond that" to create new capital buffers and meet more stringent definitions of what constitutes capital.
The Dodd-Frank Act requires 67 studies and 243 new rules to be created, according to law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. The act creates a Financial Stability Oversight Council with 10 voting members, including a to-be-named insurance expert and heads of at least 3 regulatory agencies awaiting new leaders. The law's Volcker rule, which bans banks from proprietary trading and limits investments in private equity and hedge funds, requires a study by the council before rules are drafted.
Seat Belts
Financial crises have become a regular occurrence. The 2008 credit crisis followed the implosion of the technology stock bubble in 2000 and 2001, which came just a couple of years after the Russian government bond default and the collapse of hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management LP roiled global markets.
Lawrence Summers, director of the National Economic Council, said in an October speech to the Economist magazine's annual Buttonwood Gathering that fixing the financial system could be compared to reducing fatalities in automobile wrecks. Mandating seat belts, guard rails and speed limits proved more effective in reducing damage caused by crashes than trying to prevent reckless driving, he said.
"In the same way, we need approaches to financial regulation that seek to make the world safer for ignorance and cupidity, which are inevitable, rather than relying on our ability to correct them," Summers said in the New York speech.
Cues From Basel
Like placing seat belts on careless drivers, requiring financial institutions to hold more capital would help the companies better withstand even serious errors, Summers said.
Instead of mandating higher capital levels for financial institutions, the Dodd-Frank Act signed by President Barack Obama last month leaves the decisions to regulators such as the Federal Reserve. They, in turn, are taking cues from the Basel committee, a forum of 27 countries' central banks and regulators that creates global rules that aim to prevent banks from seeking out countries with the most lenient regulation.
The Basel committee, which in December proposed a set of new guidelines for leverage, capital and liquidity, came under attack by financial companies and some governments who thought the limits would curb lending and hamper an economic recovery. The Institute of International Finance, an industry group representing more than 400 firms, released a report in June that said the proposed rules would erase 3.1 percent of gross domestic product in the U.S., euro region and Japan by 2015.
'Don't Kill the Goose'
"They're all saying the same thing, which is don't kill the goose that lays the eggs you depend on," NYU's Smith said. "So they're getting through to the Basel people, and they're getting through to them in two ways -- one is to soften the expected blows," he said. The second is "to extend them well into the future."
The Basel committee agreed last month to give banks more leeway in the types of assets they can count as capital. Geithner, in his speech at NYU last week, said delaying capital rules will make it easier for banks to earn the money they use as capital.
"Importantly, that means banks will have the opportunity to meet these new requirements in part through future earnings and that will help protect the recovery currently under way," he said.
In effect, the policy allows banks several years of padding their capital with future profits instead of imposing immediate remedies, a policy sometimes referred to as "regulatory forbearance" that's a little like allowing drivers to build up speed before buckling a seatbelt.
Vulnerable to Losses
The Basel committee's efforts to require banks to hold more liquid, or easy-to-sell, assets -- enabling them to better handle a sudden rush for funds -- were also weakened by expanding the definition of what counts as liquid. And a planned leverage ratio, which would set an absolute cap on the amount of borrowing a bank could do, won't be in effect until 2018, the committee said.
While leverage enables financial companies to multiply their potential gains on investments, it also makes them far more vulnerable to losses that can wipe out capital. For a company that borrows $20 for every $1 it holds in shareholder equity, a 5 percent decline in those assets can render the company insolvent.
Delaying reform until "2018 is like doing nothing because you know the world will change many times between now and 2018," said Simon Johnson, former chief economist for the International Monetary Fund who is now a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management. "You should worry a lot about the next round of the cycle."
Regulators 'Under Pressure'
Not everyone is so concerned. Even though the Financial Stability Oversight Council created by the Dodd-Frank legislation won't hold its first meeting until October, regulators have stepped up oversight and many U.S. banks already have raised capital and reduced their leverage.
"In a way it feels like we're in an informal systemic risk regime just in terms of the way that supervisors are acting and reacting to bank holding companies," said Margaret Tahyar, a partner in the financial institutions practice at Davis Polk in New York.
Geithner's efforts to speed up rulemaking "can have a pretty big effect" on the pace at which systemic risk regulation is implemented, she said. Other regulators, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, are "under enormous pressure to do things and show progress," Tahyar said.
Derivatives Rules
Key provisions of the Dodd-Frank legislation, such as rules requiring over-the-counter derivatives to be cleared or exchange-traded, are due to be clarified in a year, said Bradley Sabel, a partner at law firm Shearman & Sterling LLP in New York who spent 18 years at the New York Fed. Derivatives are contracts with values derived from assets such as stocks, bonds commodities, currencies, or events such as changes in interest rates, creditworthiness or the weather.
Reforming the $615 trillion market in over-the-counter derivatives is itself a way to manage leverage, as the trades often replicate investments that are a multiple of the cost of the contract.
"It's not like we're saying, as Basel did about leverage, wait until 2018," Sabel said of the Dodd-Frank Act's provisions. "Within one to two years this stuff will pretty much be coming on line. I think that's quite soon enough."

thinking about buying..help please
Hey guys,
I plan on adding another BMW to the family this week. I have access to a few different 7 series models. I have been hearing from people that around the 2003 year model, there are all kinds of common problems. some associated with electrical issues, and others with the control system and all its menus.
I am hoping to get some insight as to which direction to go. I have 4 choices.
1) 2003 745 il 120k miles
2) 1998 740 il 154k miles
3) 2001 740 il 139k miles
4) 2000 740 il 109k miles
all 4 appear to be in good condition. Allegedly everything works on all models. So which of these has been known to have the least bugs / issues? Help greatly appreciated. Ifanyone has specific knowledge about what I should be looking for, please post.
there are also a few 5 series on the lot, but I think I want a 7 series.

Give them a try.
Eric Larsen at HBE Leatherworks was two weeks to my door a few months ago and he may have some in stock for your pistol... Mitch Rosen was about three weeks on the 'express line'...

Regarding the cost of premium holsters, I have noticed that premium ammo is about $.75 per round in most stores. Compared to the cost of ammunition you will use, even if it is Walmart practice ammo a premium holster is very reasonable.
In the long run you will enjoy the holster forever, but if you get less than the best you will sooner or later be dissatisfied, and then buy the best. The cost will be more and the wait longer.
Don Hume should fit your needs until you find out what works for you.

Try Kramer Handgun Leather.
Takes about five weeks or so. He may be a little over your budget, but it'll be worth it. Also, take a look at Mitch Rosen's "Express Line". It's quick and doesn't cost any more than a comparable Galco.
My first holster was an IWB/OWB holster from Black Hills Leather in Laredo, TX. Good price and quality with a reasonable delivery time. What was great was that I was able to experiment with both styles of carry. I found I prefer IWB.
I bought a 1911 a few moths ago and automatically ordered a VM II from Milt Sparks. I know the wait is 6 months and I can change my mind if necessary. I don't have a problem with a long wait. If I change my mind before the order is started I have no problems or guilt cancelling it. The holster makers aren't really losing a sale due to their waiting lists and the guy behind me gets his quicker.
HELGA: Where are you going?

I'm a BIG fan of HBE Leatherworks and TT Gunleather, both whom have already been mentioned in this thread. I rate the HBE COM III as the most comfortable holster that I have ever strapped on and my Browning HP is residing in one right now. You can't go wrong with either one.

I've seen a lot of good comments about UBG holsters, and see that he lists his wait time at 7-9 weeks.
As for my recommendation, I say order a Milt Sparks holster today, that way the waiting time starts ticking off now--when you get it, I assure you that you won't regret the waiting time! While you're waiting, get buy with a cheap plastic rig...you know who they are...
"It's a big gun when I carry it, it is also a big gun when I take it out Clint Smith
Wait times only hurt IMHO if you are waiting for your only holster. If you already have a couple for your carry gun then why get bent out of shape over the wait?
If you need one IMMEDIATELY, then lightning arms (for high quality) or Galco for "good enough for now".
if you're right handed, you can usually find them lightly used by cruising the various bulletin boards at decent prices and, of course, without the wait.
if you're a lefty, like me, you'll have a much harder time finding used holsters

Abbadabba's is dedicated to giving back to the local and global community we live in. Below are just a few of the organizations we have partnered with to fulfill this mission.
We have donated thousands of shoes through our participation in the Soles4Soulsprogram. This charity collects shoes and distributes them free of charge to people in need throughout the world. Since 2005, Soles4Souls has given away over 19 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes. We invite you to leave your gently worn shoes in the Soles4Souls donation box at any of our store locations.
We encourage our customers and staff to "break a sweat" and get outside for a dose of healthy exercise each day! As part of this mission, we support many local walks, races and other outdoor events throughout the year including:
We are proud to be a Gold Sponsor of this race which benefits Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Abbadabba's is a Bronze Sponsor of the 2013 Beltline Running Series. It is an important part of our mission to support our community and to encourage our employees, customers and the entire community to get more active!
The annual Gobble Jog is a Thanksgiving Day tradition benefiting the important causes of Must Ministries.
Inspired to help the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children, we are honored to sponsor this worthy cause in memory of a local Kennesaw Mountain High Graduate: Faith Cline.
Benefiting the beautiful Smith Gilbert Gardens in Kennesaw, we proudly donated gift cards to race winners.
We're a proud sponsor of the Mary Lin Rocket Run, which is surely the Funkiest Footrace in Atlanta!
We love to get back to our roots in Little 5 Points where we opened our first store over 30 years ago! We support the community of Little 5 Points through participation and sponsorship in the annual Halloween Parade, Little5Fest and other grassroots events.
Our employees and customers joined our East Cobb Neighbors to participate in their annual September parade. We are proud to be part of the East Cobb community.
We enthusiastically support the mission of Black Girls Run: encouraging African American women to make fitness and healthy living a priority.
Each year, Abbadabba's and Toms shoes join the global movement to bring awareness of visual impairment and blindness as a solvable world issue. Every purchase of Tom's eyewear will help give sight to one person in need through medical treatment or sight-saving surgery.
We encouraged our staff and customers to go barefoot on April 10th to raise awareness about the number of people in the world with no shoes and how it impacts their lives. In addition, we are proud to sell Toms shoes, a company that donates a pair of shoes to a child in need each time we sell a pair of shoes!
We teamed with Yaleet, Inc., distributor of NAOT shoes, to donate $18,000 of new NAOT shoes to domestic violence survivors living in safe houses run by the Partnership Against Domestic Violence(PADV). Janice Abernethy and Bill Carmichael, owners of Abbadabba's, fit the residents with shoes and left additional shoes for women and teens who will reside in the shelters in the future.
We are partnering with PEDS to promote pedestrian safety by sponsoring their Slow Down Driver campaign. About 2000 signs will be distributed to neighborhoods around Atlanta to remind drivers to slow down so that school children and all pedestrians can be safer. These signs were available for pick-up in our stores. Unfortunately, we are now out of signs, and so is PEDS. We are delighted that the community embraced the campaign and that drivers throughout Atlanta are reminded to Slow Down! To learn more about PEDS and to get involved in this important organization visit www.peds.org.
We have partnered with the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeperthrough monetary, in-kind donations and by helping to "Sweep the Hooch" each year. This important organization is dedicated to protecting the Chattahoochee River Basin in order to restore and preserve its ecological health for the people, fish and wildlife that depend on it.
Managers at each of our five store locations support their neighborhood schools through ongoing donations. These gifts help the schools raise money which is used to enhance each student's learning experience.
Each year, we are pleased to participate in the Camp Twin Lakes Partners Card Promotionby offering our customers a chance to enjoy 20% off at Abbadabba's with their Partners Card during the promotion period. 100% of the sale of each Partners Card directly benefits Camp Twin Lakes, enabling kids facing serious illnesses, disabilities and other life challenges to enjoy time at Camp.

New part time occupation?
Ok so I am 18 and will be attending Georgetown University this Fall Major in Business Management and Minor in Communication and Media studies...Im playing soccer for the Georgetown team as well... I am fortunate enough to not have to work through college like alot of kids my age but I want to... not a job at mcdonalds but start a small business myself of something that I have alot of passion for..with my parents help ofcourse. So here is the idea:
I want to buy newer(4-5 years old max) high end cars(sorta) that have been in minor accidents and fix them up and resell them for a small profit...start out small with maybe some 3 series or A4s and fix them up..to sell them...since they will have salvage titles they will be alot cheaper but I am sure a fellow fester wouldnt mind a repainted bumper on a car which they are saving about 15% on... you can buy a crashed 2009 328 for like 10k online and put in like 2k into fixing it up well and sell it for like 14k on a car that without the accident would be like 17-18k...after i get the hang of it i would want to eventually open my own lot and have a couple dozen cars on site...all of these cars would be cars I like...the idea is that when im older i could have a big variety of cars to chose from but it would not be an expense since they would all be considered investments...so i could drive a Range rover for a week then the X5 M then the SL63 ect ect ect...
Also i would be donating the profits to a charity...i was thinking i would give the option to the buyer like if he buys the car he/she can decide where the profits goes depending on what they think needs help but then i would have to tell them how much money im making off of them...maybe just say if u buy this car ill donate 1k or 2k whatever the profit may be to a charity of your choice...the idea of this isnt for the money really its more for the luxury of having many high end cars at my disposal at any given moment...and i also really like the idea of being able to help the needy.
I know a guy who owns a smaller dealership in Fairfax, Va. It is a chevy/gmc dealer but he gets nice used trade ins which if he likes he will pick up and keep for a while...although he normally just drives a silverado (humble guy) i would love to be able to have that luxury of picking up any car for a while whenever i want.
Any thoughts suggestions comments? jokes?
1) Keep the profits and donate a portion of them to charity. Why give all profits? Who works for free? Besides, profits in the bank help you during the lean times when you are struggling to sell cars
2) Generate a business plan. You have an idea, now vet it out. A solid business plan will put in realistic figures, contingency plans, etc. Can your market support your expenses (place to park the cars, fix the cars, up-front costs for equipment, overhead, etc)
3) A repainted bumper does not equal salvage title. Salvage is usually substantial
4) You seem to want to do it all to the car. Fix up the engine, the body, etc. Unless you have some extensive skills you are looking to do the work of what many people focus a lifetime on. For example: You take your car to the bodyshop to fix the body and repaint it. You take the car to the mechanic to fix the engine. You don't mix/match. That's because these are two different things. You need to figure out what you want to be.
I think your best bet would be to go to college, get your degree, and if you want to own/manage a business for fixing cars then spend a lot of time interning at a garage/body shop...though to be honest, you would have the wrong degree. Business degree to manage a garage??? You need a mechanic cert, training in body-work, etc.
A business degree would help you at working in a corporate setting at a major company, not running your own shop.
If you want work experience why not work for a bank as a bank teller, eventually platform person, maybe assistant branch manager? If you don't like finance find another company. It will help you to have that then to have mcdonalds or waiter under your belt.

My Drive Style
Because I can.
1. well i figured if i said i would give away 1k to a charity for ever car sold more people would be interested..maybe all of it is a little much but atleast 1 to 2k
I am not going to fix them myself i would take it to a shop to have it done...im talking to a family friend who as i mentioned before owns a chevy dealer he has a body shop at his dealer and could work with me getting me better rates to fix the cars im not planning on fixing anything on these cars...i have never even done an oil change...
im only going to buy cars that have small damage not try to piece together a destroyed car i would do mainly body work and at first i would just keep the cars probably at my house or maybe even at the chevy dealer until they sell there wouldnt be that many at once maybe 2 at most at any given moment..
im not doing it so much for the money as i am for the cars themselves and i also think it would be very interesting to flip cars.
im also not planning on doing this for a living ofcourse..i have other plans for that..wouldnt be doing business management if i wanted to just flip cars lol
ill try to draw out a business plan but i dont know what to include in that
Congrats on getting in to Georgetown! Great school.
Just a couple of thoughts. What are you good at / enjoy? Sourcing desirable cars? Eye for cost of repairs? Selling cars?
Why not omit the damage vehicles and just find good value / good price used .... try to buy wholesale and then sell retail making the spread which might be 8% to 12%.
If you are wanting to deal in high line cars many buyers in this segment want a clean history with no accidents or body work reported.
Hassle / cost of repairing maybe finding hidden damage is a big issue and unless you are really good at this just bypass at least to start.
Just my thoughts!

If your parents can afford to send you to Georgetown, give them the thou, as a gift, and have them donate it in their name. Your gift to them is not a taxable event (under the yearly limit) and they should get a bigger tax deduction than you can.

I just thought there would be more money to be made if the cars are bought with a crash...im not going to buy a car like this
i would get one like this http://www.copart.com/c2/homeSearch....SEARCH_RESULTS
I doubt this will cost 18k to repair probably a good 2-3k and like new
yeah tht would be a great idea too
Oh and i have a different opinion on salvage car...i never told this forum because i knew there would be all these guys like omg ur 17 and u wrecked ur bmw what a disgrace so spoiled blah blah blah but at 13k miles i rear ended some an f150 at a yield sign he started going and i was going to follow him and did on more check and as i was checking he slammed on his brakes and i just hit him it was pretty bad car had to be towed but i think i could have driven it...it still drove like i drove it to the side of the road it was scraping a little but not much..anyways that was my car and bmw fixed it.moral of the story my car sits today with 48k miles with 0 problems...
While it's a novel idea, and the fact that you'd donate the money speaks to your generosity, there is most certainly a lot more to this type of business than meets the eye. First of all, know there are hundred if not thousands of places and people even in your general area who are doing a very similar thing. The competition is cut throat and the risk is very high. A typical dealer would buy 10-15 of these at one time, and HOPE to win on more than half of them. In other words, you will get burned and you can really only afford to if you are buying in bulk.
Collision and other types of salvageable damage are quite difficult to accurately estimate without taking the car apart, which you will not be able to do. The reason insurance companies are selling them is because they have deemed it's not worth the risk.
Does that mean there are no diamonds in the rough? Not at all, like I said there are many many people making a living doing it. But the two things you must have are experience and lots of capitol to make it work. Otherwise you are taking a walk on very thin ice.
Just to clear things up, this isnt about the money at all it is very small scale the risk is pretty low even with total loss its still less than 20k
I dont want to show off or anything but money is not an issue for my parents mainly thanks to my grand parents but thats another story they are really happy im doing this none of my sibblings ever made a dime in their lives to this day some even in their 20s and neither have I but i want to change that in my parents eyes its a good lesson/experience either way if it take a 10k loss to learn a lesson than so be it but it is something that i am confident will yield some results...i have an eye on a real gem right now and i am going to try to go pick it up this weekend a 2011 BMW 1er M WITH 4K miles seems to be well equipped has navi black on black 10k cash for pick up...has a side impact that is not too bad curtain air bags deployed maybe 20k to fix this bad boy up...it is in an abandoned salvage lot crashed..no way to treat a unicorn like the 1 M... lets say it costs 30k to buy the car and fix it..im sure i could sell it for atleast a good 45k considering theyre all going for 65k on cars.com used with similar miles
So let me ask you a question, why would an insurance company total a car that's supposedly worth 65k if it would only need 20k worth or work? Let's say that 20 is your wholesale cost to fix it, even if it's 35k retail to fix it they would still be WELL under the 80% factor that most insurance companies use as a "total loss standard".
I'm not saying they never make mistakes, it just seems unlikely you would have had this dream senario fall into your lap which nobody else has picked up on.
New part time occupation?
+1 on the demand for salvage vehicles. It's a different story of you sell these cars overseas. My friends are in business to repair and sell cars to the former Soviets, however, with the availability of VIN checks (carfax) it has become a difficult tenure. The demand for salvaged high end cars is diminishing - they are specializing mostly in Lexus cars - the business is not as lucrative as it used to be.

I think they insurance companies total loss the car to because it becomes a liability if the car isnt fixed well...like if they try to fix it the car may have 100 problems down the road which will in the end cost them more money so they avoid the risk and drop the car.
I think there would be a market for it if you found the right person...there is a market for anything and anyone...If i had lets say 15k to spend on a car and i was thinking on buying a 2006 325i sedan which are around 15k and all of a sudden i stumple upon a 2009 335i for 15k and less miles but with a minor accident...I think some will bite..its not a bad thing..i dont know why people have such a bad image of it..do you think all bmws have never been in accidents...i crashed mine front and rear i hit a dude and got rear ended by a lady right after
my car is perfect looks like it never happened
I just honestly think that in the US salvage cars are heavily looked down upon and avoided for some reason..if you go anywhere else in the world you will see american total loss cars being shipped there and fixed there and put on their roads with no problems..and dont pull the theyre not safe anymore card bc the airbag mechanism is an original oem plug and play part like a light bulb and everything else is cosmetic that is fixed...even engines are fixed and bent frames are pulled back. I tell you this from seeing it first hand..i know im not going to convince a country theyre safe but i would not do this if i thought i was putting somebody in a ticking time bomb..like i said...i used to drive a salvage car everyday...never had any issues..
My best to ya in school! That's your best occupation....

Not to be disrespectful but what backround do you have in business management or planning? i really hope you are not offended i am just curious
I know but theyre not hard to get..
taking chances is part of the experiences and how do u know this what experience do u have? im just wondering not trying to be rude i dont want ppls opinions that are based on just what they think
The thing is this is not a time consuming job like 8-5... u find a car online which takes minutes go check it out at the lot which would take a couple hours then u leave it at the shop and let them fix it..while they fix it u can be doing whatever... and then u just post it to sell the car..and if you sell under 10 cars a year you dont need a license to sell the car so ill be good there
thank you for your input though i really do appreciate it everything helps
Unless you have a bunch of knowledge and experience doing this type of business you should drop this idea. However, There are other ways of channeling your ambition.
What I would encourage you to do is to get some kind of "job" that will enhance your human capital. In particular data-analytic skills:
1. how to find the right data you need to answer a question
2. how to analyze that data to find the right answer,
3. How to summarize and present the results of your analysis.
4. How to effectively communicate your ideas and information.
These are essential skills for success in almost any field regardless of what type work you may ultimately find yourself doing in your career. They are also skills that don't have an expiration date. Plus you will be building relationships/networks with the faculty which can payoff after graduation.
What I would suggest is that after you arrive on campus find a faculty member or two in the business school or the economics department and offer to work for them. This may or may not involve actual pay. You should look at it as an apprenticeship rather than a job. I regularly hire undergrads to do this sort of thing.

Because I can.
First let me preface. Focus on school. Highschool is a joke, college is insane. First day of class (monday)...three classes...each class will require you have a chapter read (and understood) by Wed. On Tuesday, your two classes will require you to have a chapter read by thu). On Wed/Thu you will get 5 more chapters. On Fri you will get 3 more chapters. 13 chapters (not the easy kind) in one week -> Plus depending on your major, projects. Plus you want to get a college life. Stay away from work and enjoy being a college kid. Once you graduate from school you will have plenty of work.
Now as to my credentials. I grew up in the mechanic industry (my father/brother are mechanics) and I spent many many days in the garage. Profits are not huge, and it's tough. My dad would go to the auction, buy cheap cars, fix and sell them. Luckily he had a lot to sit the cars on, he did the work himself (so cost of car, time and parts). I'd see and help as I could. Where I really took a shining to was the business side - it's hard to sell. You need an advertising budget, a lot to show the cars, let people test drive, etc. Then insurance needs, risk of theft. Front-load cash. If you lose out on one car, and your start-up money is not large, you could be out of business in a heartbeat!
Continuing with my background -> I manage projects (technology). Gathering requirements, building business models, budgets, burn-down charts, ROI, development cycle, etc. None of these are easy and took years of experience to gain. Going into business is not easy...going into business in a complex industry (fixing cars is complex) is not something for the part-time and feint of heart.
Now, maybe a suggestion (if you are bent on working, which really most will recommend you do not do) - how about be the middle man? Kind of concierge. Someone has a car breakdown (accident, standard mechanical issues, etc). They don't want to have to deal with the garage/body shop. They don't know what to look for, get ripped off, etc. You take care of it for them. You take the car to the shop. You work with the shop. You get the car fixed. Because you are always going to the same shop they give you a discount (say 5%). This discount is your profit. The customer pays the same price - but now they are not taking their time they are taking your time.
You will not need as much money up front. You will need a contract that protects you (e.g., you are not responsible for the work done, you are only assisting in the process). You may still want to get insurance - if you ever get sued (even if you don't deserve to be sued) you could spend tens of thousands just to defend yourself - even if you are 100% right.

Are you trying to operate a business out of an auto repair facility or your parents garage?
If later I can see how you can leisurely operate your business until your folks will get tired of it and tell you to close the shop.
On the other hand, if you are trying to build a business as an independent facility you'd starve for 8 to 5 days. That's of course if your goal is being profitable and not get overrun by the operational costs.

Do you seriously think you'll have time during college to repair cars and resell them? Good luck.
New part time occupation?
Jumping in late here but I've seen a lot of bad signs:
1. Buy a salvage title car and hope it is repairable.
2. Take to a shop and get it fixed by someone else. (Very little cost saving here.)
3. Sell the car - complete with accident history - to someone (who will low-ball you because of the history).
4. Donate a couple grand to charity each sale.
5. Pay off any associated costs of ads, registration, etc.
6. Repeat less than ten times per year.
With that little profit margin and that low volume, and the risk involved, you'd be better off going to a casino. It's an applaudable idea to start a business, but you've asked if its feasible... Sure, but not at the scale or with the parameters you have presented.

I only found one old thread that mentions SVG format on this forum. Why is it not a format option on GR? Wouldn't SVG backgrounds for websites be awesome?
What's SVG format?
You don't know what SVG is?! It's a vector format that web browsers can display. You can use them like PNG or JPEG but it is vector, so resolution independent and smaller file sizes (most of the time).
MD9 said
You don't know what SVG is?!
You do?!
Of course. I thought everybody on Graphic River would know. http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/why-arent-you-using-svg/
CodeCanyon -> CSS GraphicRiver -> Vectors (include EPS versions)
Crusader12, I don't understand your comment.
SVG is nothing more than a text file, you can include them in a webpage just by using the source code.
Some people would think it will be best to post it on Codecanyon ( The marketplace for code stuff) and others will think Graphicriver.
Personally I think it should be accepted on Graphicriver
I include SVG for people not using Adobe software.
MD9, sorry, that should have been on 2 lines. The best categories to submit them too. SVG is perfectly acceptable here, but you need to have an EPS as well.

Is the absence of a policy module the actual cause of this error? If so, would having a "dummy" policy module that was effectively a no-op (e.g. by including an allow rule that was already in the base policy) be a usable workaround?
Should this be bugzilla-ed? Paul.

text: Maria Butyrskaya is one of the most underrated and undermarked skaters ever. These are the results I think she deserved and did not get in her career. Which of these do you think she should have gotten but judges deprived her: 1995 Nations Cup- deserved gold over Kwan. She skated cleanly with 6 triples and Kwan stepped out of a jump and doubled another and only did 5. Yet Kwan was given even higher technical marks. 1996 Worlds- deserved bronze over Slutskaya. 1997 Grand Prix final- deserved silver or gold. Was the only person to skate cleanly but was put behind Lipinski, Kwan, and Slutskaya who all had mistakes and Kwan and Slutskaya many of them. 1997 Worlds- deserved bronze. Would have won bronze if she was 4th in long program but was placed behind Gusmeroli who had more mistakes and is generally a weaker skater who combes behind Maria any other time their careers. Vanessa was marked based on her great short, not her crummy long though. 1998 Olympics- deserved bronze over Chen. Yes she had more technical mistakes than Chen, but Chen's overall technical level was so weak by that then Maria deserved a much higher technical score even with more mistakes. The judges were just excited to see Chen skate almost cleanly with all the technical disaesters and falls she had around then they overmarked her. Even Chen's artistry was overated and overscored by then. 1998 Worlds- deserved silver over Slutskaya. The judges marked her down too much for a bad fall near the end, both in technical and artistic scores which is too bad as she skated well enough to win the long over a subpar Kwan otherwise. Her artistic scores still should have easily put her over Irina who had a fall and turned out of both her triple-triples anyway. 2000 Worlds- I think overall she deserved to gold. I know some will find that strange since Kwan skated cleanly in all phases and did have by far the best long program performance I agree, and Maria had a relatively bad long. However remember the factored points system. Even though Kwan's short was clean and very good I thought 3rd place was correct. Kwan with 2nd in the qualifying, 3rd in the short, and 1st in the long would have lost to Maria with 1st in the qualifying, 1st in the short, and 2nd in the long. Even though Maria's long was bad with mistakes so was Irina Slutskaya's, and Maria should have beaten Irina's long thus with the factored points system was robbed of winning. 2000 NHK- Was robbed of winning. Skated way better than Irina. 2001 Grand Prix final- This is the first of two indirect ones. She tanked this event since she was upset about losing NHK unfairly to Irina. Had she skated as she would have had she won NHK it would have been good enough to win especialy as both Slutskaya and Kwan were sluggish here. 2001 Worlds- Deserved silver here, or atleast bronze. Short program should have been 2nd behind Slutskaya. Long program should have been 2nd behind Kwan. These overall would have given her silver, even with 4th in the qualifying round. 2002 Olympics- I think she was indirectly robbed of winning the gold and I will explain why. Her short deserved something from 2nd to 4th, not 5th (Slutskaya even the overrated cow she is should have won the short too, the U.S skaters were all way overmarked and all foreign skaters hammered). Had she been placed fairly in the short she would have skated the great long she was planning to and with Kwan and Slutskaya's performances deserved 2nd in the long to Hughes. Hughes deserved about 10th in the short, so this would have given Maria the gold overall. The judges told Maria in the short she had no chance to medal even if she did 5 quadruple jumps in the long so she gave up and did not bother doing the great long she had planned. For the 2001 Grand Prix final and 2002 Olympics remember it is not based on her performance she gave entirely, but based on how she would have skated had she not been robbed in an earlier outing, either at a previous event, or the previous program.

WOOSTER -- Tuesday marked national weatherization day, a day to recognize the work done saving low income folks money on their energy bills.
The Home Weatherization Assistance Program assists families in lowering heating costs by improving the ability of their homes to release and retain heat. Services are available to residents of Wayne and Medina counties through Community Action Wayne Medina, a local organization that provides various types of assistance to low income families.
Many households qualifying for HEAP, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or Supplemental Security Income are eligible to participate in the HWAP program.
Individuals or families with incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines also may be available for HWAP services.
Though the program can be helpful for many families, it has become more difficult for Ohio households to obtain home weatherization services.
During the three years of the American Recovery Act, CAWM was able to serve more than 400 households annually, according to Donna Holmes, housing service manager for CAWM.
"Now our funding has dropped so significantly ... our current goal is 50 (households)," said Holmes.
It is even less than the 80 to 90 households that were being served annually before the American Recovery Act.
In addition, the number of people who have qualified for the program has increased. Currently, there are more than 500 people on the waiting list for HWAP.
"Serving 50 people a year, we'll have people on the wait list extremely long," Holmes said.
The typical wait for HWAP assistance is two to three years. Currently, it will take 16 years to serve everyone on the list.
"It's not good news," Holmes said, noting funding likely will be the same in 2013.
According to Holmes, the state has allocated 15 percent of its Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funding toward weatherization, while the federal government has allocated about $65 million for HWAP funding.
"That's about enough for the state to do 100 homes," Holmes said. "What went from a huge priority in the federal budget dropped down to a miniscule priority."
Another impact of the funding cuts is job loss. When CAWM was able to do more home weatherization projects, they were providing more work for area contractors.
"It was actually working the way it's supposed to," Holmes said.
For those on the waiting list, there are certain clients who are prioritized, including senior citizens, households with children and emergency situations or situations in which a home has no heat. Even if a certain situation becomes a priority, Holmes said there is still no guarantee that the CAWM will be able to address the need immediately.
CAWM also is able to refer clients to utility programs that will help with weatherization. Some of the providers with programs include Columbia, Dominion, American Electric Power and First Energy.
According to Holmes, utility funds have been increasing lately, which has helped to offset the decrease in HWAP funds. In addition, CAWM is able to combine with jobs handled by a utility program to help stretch HWAP dollars.
Home weatherization through HWAP entails home insulation as well as testing for potential health and safety issues, duct testing and infiltration measures to check for air leakage.
"It really does make the whole house energy efficient," Holmes said.
Home weatherization also could include the installation of low flow shower heads, aerators on sinks and fluorescent lightbulbs and the wrapping of hot water tanks.
To apply for HWAP funds, clients have to fill out a HEAP application and meet the income guidelines. On the HEAP application, clients can indicate that they are interested in home weatherization. To stay on the waiting list, clients have to continue to apply and indicate their interest in HWAP each year. The HEAP program starts Nov. 1 each year.
Reporter Amanda Rolik can be reached at 330-287-1635 or email@example.com.
This article shows the sad state of our country....so many people who are looking for a hand out. I have made thousands of dollars of weatherization improvements to my house. Guess where I got the money from? That's right...one pay check at a time.
I have no cable TV, hardly ever eat out, and drive old cars that I repair myself.
Vote ROMNEY, RENACCI, AMSTUTZ and let's end the freeloader society that is bankrupting our society! Time to live within our means!!!!
