"Mad Men" and "30 Rock" win top Emmys, again
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The low-rated shows "30 Rock" and "Mad Men" shared the spotlight at the Emmy Awards for a second year on Sunday, but most of their stars were snubbed as the acting awards went to repeat winners or surprise choices.
Tina Fey, the creator and star of NBC's "30 Rock," failed to defend her best comic actress title. She lost to Australia's Toni Collette, who plays a woman with multiple personalities in Showtime's "United States of Tara."
Fey's co-star, Alec Baldwin, was the only one of 13 nominees from either "30 Rock" or "Mad Men" to win an acting prize, in his case for playing a bumbling network TV boss.
Still, "30 Rock" was named best comedy for a third year, and "Mad Men" best drama for a second. Both prizes were announced at the end of the three-hour ceremony.
"Phew! That was a nail-biter," said Fey, accepting the big prize for "30 Rock," which won just five of the leading 22 Emmys for which the cult favorite had been nominated.
"Mad Men," whose audience is about 2 million on the niche cable channel AMC, won just three of the 16 Emmys for which it had been nominated. Last year, the period saga made history by becoming the first series from a cable network other than HBO to win the Emmy for best drama.
"I may be the only person in the room with complete creative freedom. That's why the show is so good," said "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner, who shared the Emmy with Kater Gordon for best drama writing.
Glenn Close repeated her win for best dramatic actress for her role as a ruthless lawyer in "Damages" on the FX cable channel. Accepting her award, Close called it "the character of my lifetime." Continued...

seems like the older they are the more stubborn they become. If you try to address the situation they take it as if you're trying to show them up. They just can't admit being wrong, ever. This is apparent to anyone who is entering the trade cause you will only make it if you ignore it and walk on egg shells around these guys...so true. I've learned it's best to not only ignore it but to bend over backwards for them so you can extract what good information they have. It works like a charm but I had a lot of issues at first when it came to dealing with that. Now, I don't have to listen to them or work under them, but since I was good little butt kisser from the start, I can always go to them for info. With that said, even that doesn't work all the time cause some of these old farts will always view you as a threat to their job and will never want to show you a thing. I call them haters and ignore them.

Hannity drew baseless comparison between N.Y. state comptroller's remark and Trent Lott's praise of Thurmond's 1948 segregationist presidential campaign
Research ››› ››› ROB MORLINO
On Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity baselessly compared a June 1 remark by New York state comptroller Alan Hevesi, for which Hevesi apologized hours later, and a December 2002 statement by Sen. Trent Lott in support of the late Sen. Strom Thurmond's 1948 presidential campaign, in which Thurmond ran as a segregationist.
On the June 2 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity baselessly compared a June 1 remark by New York state comptroller Alan G. Hevesi, for which Hevesi apologized hours later, and a December 2002 statement by Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) in support of the late Sen. Strom Thurmond's (R-SC) 1948 presidential campaign, in which Thurmond ran as a segregationist.
During a commencement speech at Queens College on June 1, Hevesi described Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) as "the man who, how do I phrase this diplomatically, who will put a bullet between the president's eyes if he could get away with it." Hevesi apologized to Schumer and President Bush during a press conference hours later, saying, "I am apologizing as abjectly as I can. There is no excuse for it. It was beyond dumb." While discussing Hevesi's comment on Hannity & Colmes with Republican strategist Ed Rollins and Newsday columnist Ellis Henican, also a Fox News contributor, Hannity criticized Democrats for not giving Lott "the benefit of the doubt" that Hannity and Rollins were "giving Alan Hevesi."
But, unlike Hevesi, Lott, then the incoming Senate Majority Leader, waited at least two days after his comments were first widely reported before issuing an apology, having first defended his remarks against intense criticism. During a celebration of Thurmond's 100th birthday in Washington, D.C., on December 5, 2002, Lott praised Thurmond, saying: "I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either." During his 1948 pro-segregation presidential campaign, Thurmond said: "All the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, our schools, our churches." Lott's remarks were broadcast live on C-SPAN. On December 7, 2002, The Washington Post first mentioned that Lott's comments were drawing criticism. Two days later, on December 9, Lott issued a statement defending his remarks, saying, "My comments were not an endorsement of his positions of over 50 years ago, but of the man and his life." Later that day, Lott issued an "apolog[y] to anyone who was offended by my statement" for his "poor choice of words" that gave some the wrong impression: "A poor choice of words conveyed to some the impression that I embraced the discarded policies of the past ... Nothing could be further from the truth, and I apologize to anyone who was offended by my statement." However, it was not until December 14, a full week and two days after his original comments, that Lott characterized them as "wrong" during a press conference: "I take full responsibility for my remarks and only hope that people will find in their heart to forgive me for this grievous mistake."
Additionally, despite Hannity's assertion that, like Hevesi, Lott spoke "off the cuff, joking around," news reports showed that Lott made similar statements on at least two other occasions. The Post reported on December 11, 2002, that at a rally for the presidential campaign of Ronald Reagan on November 3, 1980, Lott similarly praised Thurmond, the rally's keynote speaker, saying, "You know, if we had elected this man 30 years ago, we wouldn't be in the mess we are today." NBC's Nightly News also reported on December 17, 2002, that, in file footage of members of Congress signing the National Defense Authorization Act on October 19, 2000, Lott could be heard saying of Thurmond, "This is a famous signature right here. He has been -- should have been president in 1947, I think it was." Further, Lott has, in Henican's words, "play[ed] footsie with segregationists," speaking at Council of Conservative Citizens meetings, an organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center has linked with white supremacists.
From the June 2 broadcast of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
HANNITY: Here's the problem, though. When -- when Trent Lott spoke at the 100th birthday of a senator, Strom Thurmond -- off the cuff, joking around, talked about, "Things would have been better if you were president," he had to resign. And you know why, Ellis?
HENICAN: I'm going to tell you why.
HANNITY: Hang on. Because Democrats didn't give him the benefit of the doubt that I and Ed Rollins are giving Alan Hevesi.
HENICAN: No. Two things. First of all, it wasn't the Democrats who sold out Trent Lott. It was the Republicans, who dumped them as their leader.
HANNITY: No, it was -- no, no, no.
HENICAN: Secondly, the problem that Trent had is that a lot of Americans believed that Trent might really believe some of that stuff.
HANNITY: All right. All right, but --
HENICAN: Nobody thinks that of Alan Hevesi.
HANNITY: You know what? You know what? Nobody believes that he was talking about segregation.
HENICAN: No, but he's playing footsie with segregationists. It's different from one off-the-cuff comment.
HANNITY: Hang on a second. This is the difference. Is that if he apologizes, if he wants to revise and extend his remarks, there's no play on the Democratic side. What I'm saying to you guys on the left now is, we've got to be careful. Let people apologize. Let people say they were wrong.

Missing Women: Age and Disease: A Correction
In a recent paper in the Review of Economic Studies, Siwan Anderson and Debraj Ray (Anderson and Ray, 2010) develop and apply a new 'flow' measure of 'missing women' to estimate the extent of gender bias in mortality in developing countries. Contrary to the existing literature, they find that the problem of gender bias in mortality is as severe among adults as it is among children in India, that gender bias in mortality is larger in Sub‐Saharan Africa than in China and India, and that there was substantial evidence of gender bias in mortality in the US around 1900. These latter results are driven largely by the finding of substantial gender bias among adults. We show first that the data for Sub‐Saharan Africa used in the paper are generated by simulations in ways that deliver their findings on Africa (and the US in 1900) by construction. Second, we show that the analysis is entirely dependent on a highly implausible reference standard that is inappropriately applied to settings where the overall disease and mortality environment differ greatly; the attempt to control for the disease environment by the authors is not able to address these issues. When a more appropriate reference standard is used, most of the new findings of Anderson and Ray disappear. Instead, the findings from the existing literature relying on stock measures of missing women are confirmed. The one finding that remains and deserves further attention is some evidence of gender bias in mortality among young adults in Africa (though of much lower magnitude than suggested by Anderson and Ray).

'So You Think You Can Dance' eliminees shocked by results and twist
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 06/24/2011
Iveta Lukosiute, Wadi Jones, Nick Young, and Missy Morelli, were the first four Top 20 finalists eliminated from
So You Think You Can Dance
's eighth-season live results show Thursday night.
Iveta, a 30-year-old ballroom dancer who currently resides in New York, NY;
Wadi, a 24-year-old break dancer from Ossining, NY Nick, a 19-year-old tap dancer from Franklin, WI; and
Missy, a 20-year-old jazz dancer from Arvada, CO were ousted
after they found themselves in the week's bottom-three couples based on home viewer votes cast immediately following Wednesday night's performance show and were subsequently eliminated by
So You Think You Can Dance
judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy and guest judge Debbie Reynolds.
During a conference call with reporters on Friday, Nick, Iveta, and Wadi -- Missy, was unable to participate unfortunately -- d
iscussed their
So You Think You Can Dance
experience and told R
eality TV World whether their eliminations came as a surprise to them or they had been expecting a bottom-three couple finish, how they felt about the judges' decision to not send any of the contestants home last week, and whether they believed they were unfairly eliminated because the bottom-three vote-getting couples were saved the week prior to their ousters.
Reality TV World: Were any of you surprised to be eliminated or had you been expecting it or anticipating at least that you were going to be in the bottom three?
Wadi Jones:
I wasn't anticipating anything really, because everything happened -- like for example, last week, nobody expected all of us to stay and nobody expected to be in the bottom three, and this week, I never expected even Ryan or Ricky to be in the bottom three.
So, it was shocking for us all. So, I went in with a mindset that whatever happens is meant to happen, and to be prepared -- be prepared to be in the bottom three, be prepared to go home -- but none of this was expected.
Iveta Lukosiute:
I was surprised because I thought this show was about versatility and showing different genres of dances and how we're going to pursue different styles.
I was the only ballroom dancer, Nick was the only tap dancer, and Wadi was the only freestyle. It was strange to me that the first elimination, they got rid of all these different styles. So, that was a bit surprising to me, but [Ryan Ramirez and Ricky Jaime] were a really strong couple.
Nick Young:
I 120% percent agree with you that it's -- like Wadi said, you never know who's going to be in the bottom. I think it's kind of ironic a little bit that the bottom three this week was completely different than the bottom three last week, but you just gotta think that the judges did what they thought was right... maybe it just wasn't right for me.
So, yeah, I was a little disappointed. I definitely thought I was going to get a little bit farther than the first week, but maybe there's a reason that they didn't cut anyone last week and they cut us this week, you know?
Reality TV World: How do you all feel about the judges' decision to not send anyone home last week? None of you were in the bottom three last week, which means that at least two of you would still be in the competition if they'd sent two people home earlier. So do you think the twist was fair?
Nick Young:
Yeah, it's hard looking back on it just knowing that we weren't in the bottom three last week and they didn't cut anybody. And you think any results could have been different this week if they had cut someone last week.
You just never really know, like all the styles we could have picked totally could have changed. So, "unfair" might not be the word, because they can do whatever they want. So, you know, unfair or fair, it's their decision. But, I'm definitely a little upset about it now. It makes you think about it a little bit.
Wadi Jones:
I felt that -- I don't know, last week it was kind of cool because we all got to bond with each other and it was nice having everyone still there, and it made it seem more fair because everyone -- America -- had an opportunity to get to know everyone.
But at the same time, the fact that no one got eliminated last week and the bottom three completely changed -- not even one couple from last week was in the bottom three [again this week] kind of changed that aspect of it and did make it a little bit more unfair, because the way the elimination round... the bottom three would have been completely different.
I feel everything happened the way it should've happened, and you can't take any of that back. We all love each other and we all fell apart [afterwards].
Iveta Lukosiute:
Well, I gotta go with the guys. I think because they didn't eliminate anyone the first week, it gave America the opportunity to see the couples once more.
Of course I'm upset that I'm going home, but I still think maybe that if they did that the first week for all 20 couples that they didn't go home, I think it maybe would have been fair if every single couple at least had a chance to show that they themselves can do all different styles.
Some couples did only jazz and contemporary, and some couples had to do some styles completely out of their own genre. So, I do feel that that wasn't that fair, because not everyone was out of their comfort zone all three weeks.
So, I think if they wanted to be fair, every couple has to do ballroom and every couple has to jazz, and every couple has to do hip-hop. Because they eliminated so many people. That's what I think.
Also during the call, Nick, Iveta and Wadi told reporters whether they believed the
So You Think You Can Dance
judges should take a dance style's difficulty into account when sizing up the competition.
Do you think a degree of difficulty should be factored into the judging? Because many dancers end up randomly selecting genres out of their comfort zones, while others get to perform in their preferred style of dance.
Nick Young:
I think I love that they keep it random, you know? Just this past week, we got Bollywood by chance. That was picked out of a hat, and we were there for it.
First week? I'm not so sure if that was random, but it is hard to, for me especially, to have danced outside of my style twice in a week -- twice in a row -- and two of the hardest dances that the show's ever had when at the same time, you have a lot of people still dancing in their own styles.
I think it would be kind of cool and unique if they could have at least a couple -- a week -- before they eliminate anyone where you're not dancing in your own styles. You see contemporary dancers either have contemporary or jazz, you know?
I kind of compare the two. If you can dance contemporary, then you can dance jazz, but that doesn't mean you can dance Bollywood. So, it would -- I don't want to be bitter about this, and I'm not, but it is hard to get eliminated on a week where people were still even dancing in their own styles.
Wadi Jones:
I'll talk about the judging process a little bit. I'm very proud of myself for what I've accomplished, and yeah, I got the cha cha, and yes it was very hard, and yea I probably -- possibly -- could have done much better considering the fact that I've never done ballroom ever or had any real training.
They could have possibly been a little lighter on what they said, because what the judges say determines how the audience feels. They might have liked it, but I think after hearing the judges and what they have to say, they might change what they feel... Nick is absolutely right about the fact that there are a few couples who still have danced the genre that's there's yet, and that may not have been fair.
Iveta Lukosiute:
I think if everybody on the same show would do something outside of their genres, maybe the show itself wouldn't be so great, because some people would keep shining and standing out -- I mean performance wise -- because everyone would be uncomfortable, and the show wouldn't be as good if everybody in one day did something outside of their own styles.
I think it would be fair if in different weeks, everybody at least had at least one week where they had not their own style. So, that way, the judges could really -- and America could really see people out of their comfort zones, because I feel like some of the couples never dance out of their comfort zone.

cracked block
any tips on how to fix a cracked block on a 283, it froze bust , 1 crack on inside and one on the outside, i have v'd out the cracked area and ground off suface around it clean but i dont know if i should weld it or would jbweld work. thank you for any replies
See your local auto machine shop he can use a product called lock and stitch it works real good must pressure test after wards
If your car isn't show quality, requiring numbers matching, ditch that block. Get yourself a roller 350.
I used JB Weld on a 4 inch crack on my 331 SBC Vega gasser in the '70's, and it held the entire season. Matter of fact we found the crack at midnight, cleaned it good, torched it, etc., and JB'd it without even grinding it out. Fired it at 7 A. M. and put it on the trailer.
Lock & stitch I haven't heard of and there are probably other new products that would work. Buying a new motor is always best, but not everyone can afford to do that.
There are some powder torch welding products out there that can be used to fix cast iron, but if it were me I would get a new block.
Not a Product...........
A series of holes are drilled,+ tapped,+ filled with pipe plugs, one at a time, till the crack is Covered......
Each one Overlapping the Previous by 1/4 to 1/3........
Pretty Labor Intensive..........
Unfortunately, Grinding it out has taken this option off the table......
Last year I purchased a 327 marine engine that was supposed to be in excellent shape but upon inspection found it to have a 6" long crack from freezing up.
After several weeks of research I found that about 90% of the info on welding castings was bogus.It turns out that engines made after WW2 are almost always cast STEEL not iron.
After talking to many of my contacts on the subject I learned that stitch welding with a mig welder was the best and simpliest way to fix it.
First,V-groove out the crack to get good penetration,use a torch to heat the area enough to burn any grease out of the metal,clean with thinners.then start by button welding each end of the crack to prevent it from spreading.let the area cool.
Next back-stitch about 1/2" in from each end, welding out towards the button weld,then let this cool until you can touch it with your hand.then start your next stitch weld 1/2" in from where you started the first stitch on each end and weld into the previous weld area.let it cool.repeat this process at each end of the crack until the area is sealed completely.
Have the area machined if it needs to be smooth or leave it if not.
Thats all there is to welding cast steel engines.
The problem with welding cast iron is that if you try to do an isolated weld on it,the weld will break away from one side of the parent metal while it is cooling.This is because the metal rapidly expands when being welded then rapidly contracts when the welding stops,and the result is the weld being the "give point" when the metal contracts.First you need to drill a small hole in both ends of the crack to stop it from spreading.Then you need to heat up the cracked area by applying heat to about 1" of crack at a time.When about an inch of the crack is glowing red,keep the heat on it,and use a stick welder to weld the crack,{you will find you need much less heat to make a good puddle then when the block is cold}.Weld about the center 1/2" of the glowing area,and keep the heat on after you pull the stick away,then slowly back the heat off and allow the glow to reduce slowly over a period of at least 1 full minute,or even better yet,try moving the heat over a little bit at a time to the next cracked area,and then repeat the steps when you have anothersection of the crack glowing.When you are done you will have metal that is physically bonded and will be stronger then if you had stitched it.The only downside is that you may have some pores in the welds,so I would use some stop leak with the first batch of coolant.On the outside of the block a covering of JB weld wont hurt either.If you have to do this welding within about 1" of any machined surface,I would plan on having that surface remachined.Good luck.
Go to Ebay Motors and type in 283.
Ive seen several blocks for sale on there and at really low prices. HG
I was built with the body of a God! To bad it was buddah.

262,265,283 shop come up instantly.
They are at low prices because other people have the sense not to use them.
Like I always say, why build anything other than a roller 350 or a 400?
jtdchevy, go to www.muggyweld.com you may be able to repair that block yourself!!
I'm not just talking performance. Economy too. A roller 350 will get the same or better than a 283. That is why they are worthless.
Super Streeter is exactly right,one more suggestion,use nickel weld rod to do it with. I really don't recommend a crack repair though. I do like the old 283s ,not for big power though. The pre 66 blocks could be bored .125 over and most Ive seen had steel cranks,I used to make 302s out of them 4x3.
wow jb weld held on a cracked block?
that stuff has a tough time holding intake hoses together

I've never been cool, and every time I try to be it just ends in disaster.
Yesterday I decided to leave the suburbs and head to the big city for a little shopping and a visit to the museum with my daughter. I left the house feeling quite confident that we were both lookin' fine in some new clothes from Target. "We'll blend in nicely with the East Side crowd," I thought to myself as I drove to the Whole Foods market for a good ass raping.
I pulled up in my filthy 8 year old Saab and parked amongst the shiny new Range Rovers and Volvo wagons. My daughter cried and blew raspberries through most of the store because A: she didn't want to ride in the carriage, and B: I refused to pay $7.99 for 1/4 lb of organic jellybeans. A woman in the cheese department asked if we needed help. I mumbled something even I didn't understand and ran away. One bag of groceries and $85.00 later, we moved on to the Children's Museum for round two of "Go home hillbilly!"
Upon our arrival, the East Side mommies were assembled in the Water Room looking totally composed and effortlessly stylish. They were casually speaking French to each other and to their children. I felt tres stupide as we have enough trouble finishing a sentence without using profanity of some sort around our house. They had natty designer bags for all the mom essentials. I shoved everything in the bulging pockets of my fleece. Their children were well behaved and managed to keep the sleeves of their hand-embroidered, satin-lined sweaters dry. My daughter plunged both arms deep into the water tank and came out drenched to the shoulders. She even soaked her sneakers after tossing a sopping bean bag into the tank and splashing everyone including herself.
Including the mommies.
I have to say that the real coupe de grace came when she shat her panties right there at the fish tanks. This promptly ended the day and we went limping back to the suburbs in our old car and our beat Target outfits, literally soaking wet and smelling of shit.
I'm not even going to mention how she opened the door to the ladies room just as I was pulling my pants back up, exposing me, my fat ass, and my Target underpants to everyone. I'll spare you the details on that one…

By Aaron Klein
Hilary Rosen, a former lobbyist under fire for her remarks about Ann Romney, once spoke candidly about her influence peddling lobby efforts, saying when she raised money for politicians, "you bet I expected their vote."
Rosen worked with the lobby Recording Industry Association of America from 1987 to 2003, serving in different positions including as president and then chairman and chief executive.
In an interview for the May 2010 issue of Freeman magazine, a publication of the Foundation for Economic Education, Rosen told writer Jim Powell that as an entertainment lobbyist she expected favors for her fundraising.
Stated Rosen: "When I gave $1,000 or $2,000 to a lawmaker, I wanted him to listen to my business proposition. And when I helped organize an event that raised $50,000 or $100,000, you bet I expected their vote."
She continued: "Why else do it? Members of Congress are consumed with raising money for their re-elections (or if they have a safe seat, they raise money to give to colleagues to increase their internal power). Anyone, including lobbyists, who lessens that anxiety, is considered a better friend than those who don't. No lobbying reforms will change that fact."
Rosen is now under fire from Republicans after she lobbed an insult at Ann Romney, the wife of GOP candidate Mitt Romney never held a job.
"Guess what, his wife has actually never worked a day in her life," Rosen said in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper about women's issues.
Ann Romney took to Twitter to respond, writing, "I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work."
Rosen is a partner at SKD Knickerbocker, the public relations and strategy firm of former White House communications director Anita Dunn. SKD handled Obama's 2008 campaign.
Among those distancing themselves from Rosen is David Axelrod, who tweeted his disapproval: "Also Disappointed in Hilary Rosen's comments about Ann Romney. They were inappropriate and offensive."
WND has found that since 2009 Rosen held over thirty White House meetings, including a March 11, 2009 meeting with Jerrett and a March 12, 2009 meeting with Axelrod described as a "communications message meeting."
Rosen's meeting with Axelrod was reported by the Associated Press and CBS News.com in November 2009.
CBS News noted Axelrod's White House meeting with Rosen and 18 other strategists demonstrated "the political element of the health care debate."
Rosen, meanwhile, serves as Political Director and Washington Editor-at Large for the Huffington Post as well as a regular on-air commentator for CNN.
She's on the board of the Center for American Progress Action Fund.
The Center is deeply involved in helping to influence White House policy under Obama.
The Center's founder, John Podesta, directed Obama's 2009 transition into the White House.
Time magazine called CAP Obama's "idea factory," noting that "not since the Heritage Foundation helped guide Ronald Reagan's transition in 1981 has a single outside group held so much sway."
Time reported it is "difficult to overstate the influence in Obamaland of CAP."
Rosen serves on the board of the George Soros funded Human Rights Campaign Foundation and the Creative Coalition.
Already, the DNC commented on Rosen's remarks, with a DNC official telling Politico, "Hilary Rosen is not an adviser to the DNC. Our contract for media services is exclusively with Anita Dunn."
Rosen went on Twitter to further her remarks, writing, "When I said on [CNN] Ann Romney never worked I meant she never had to care for her kids AND earn a paycheck like MOST American women!"
Rosen later tweeted that Mitt Romney "now makes up false concern for women's economic struggle" and "he should stop saying that she is his guide to women's economic problems. She doesn't have any."
Rosen seemed to backtrack a bit when she posted an explanation at the Huffington Post.
"I have nothing against Ann Romney," Rosen wrote. "She seems like a nice lady who has raised nice boys and struggled with illness and handles their long term effects with grace and dignity…What is more important to me and 57% of current women voters is her husband saying he supports women's economic issue because they are the only issues that matter to us and then he fails on even those."

Information about current double or twin cab pickups available in UK - including Crew Cab 4x4.
The double cab pickups 4x4 multi purpose vehicle is well entrenched in the marketplace. We look at the main double cab 4x4 pickups which are available in the UK, with brief manufacturer's information, together with a growing database of user's observations.
Please remember, that Pickup trucks - 4x4 double cabs or not - are commercial vehicles and are liable to Commercial Vehicle VAT and together with that, if used as a company car, then there will be tax implications - as in the regulations for tax and company cars. You - or the tax man - may need to decide if your vehicle is a car or a van.
Not all double cab pickups are 4x4, but we will include those that are not, for comparisons sake. It could well be that you don't really need a 4x4 with its added expense that will be incurred.
Even if a 4x4 double cab vehicle, remember the fact that some are a bit light on the rear end - unlike their car body counterparts.
Nevertheless, the double cab pick-up is a great way to own a 4x4 at a lesser cost than a 4x4 car. Many of the twin cabs are to all intents and purposes, cars from the front, and cars from the interior! (But we won't labour on that point.)
Double cab pickup trucks and Crew cab vans are big business, with a large sector of the business market. This is so with public utility companies and also with small businesses. Any employer in the business of transporting staff, has a duty of care to ensure that those staff are transported efficiently and safely.
The days of banging a few guys in the back of a transit van are long gone - legally. Twin cab or double cab commercials such as pickup trucks are well suited to the task of moving staff and equipment about in one journey.
They have also been seen as a way of having a 'car' for private use that can also be used for work by small business employers. Or - a 'truck' that can be used for work, that also doubles as a car for the fishing and golfing trips at the weekend.
Double cabs really come into their own with the private user, who simply wants a 4x4 vehicle, but at a lesser cost than the car alternative. The motor manufacturers are well aware of this market, so have made the interior and exterior of the modern pick up, as near to being a car as they can legally justify.
Basically, the pick-up truck has come of age and the manufacturers have been falling over themselves to fill this lucrative gap in the market.
A big thing in the 4x4 double cab's favour, is that it holds its value well - providing it has been looked after. Many have been used for short runs for most of their lives, so this is something that will need to be taken into consideration if buying a used 4x4 pick up.
Conversely, if you work in the construction trade and use a double cab 4x4 for your business, you will need to take extra care if you want a good re-sale price for your motor.
Listing and prices of popular Pickup trucks available in the UK with the official pickups models of available double cab 4x4 pick ups.

The sack hard and dry
Sacks are almost always replaceable
The piston is dry and will not move or suck up ink.
If the piston is made of cork, find a cork washer. If it is a ring [as in a Sheaffer]it can be replaced. If it is a washer as in an Onoto then it will be difficult to find a replacement
The plunger is dry and will not move or suck up ink.
Montblanc and Pelikan plungers can be renewed, but Conklin Nozak plungers are difficult to replace
The cap lip is cracked.
If the material is not too rare, this can be repaired [at a high cost], although putting the cap on the barrel end just once may break a glued split.
The cap itself is cracked
. This is difficult to repair
The barrel treads are cracked
. This is difficult to repair, expensive and requires professional help. The threads may be carried further up the barrel and the whole been shortened, or new threads may be machined on.
The lever is broken
. A replacement is usually necessary, and will be moderately expensive
The clip is broken.
Replacement clips can often be found
The clip has sprung away from the cap.
It can be.bent back if it has not split
There is a burn mark on the pen
. Holes can occasionally be filled. price should be negotiated down substantially
The plastic is crazed
. The end of Watermans Hundred Year Pens can be replaced, but the problem is usually terminal with LeBoeufs and Wahl Eversharp Dorics
The cap will not screw on.
Check the threads for cracks but wear is usually the cause. Threads can sometimes be built up or the barrel threads expanded to give a better fit
The nib is split or the iridium has broken off
. Splits can be welded together and new iridium can be welded on, although this is specialized work that can only be undertaken by professionals. The repaired nib may still be prone to splitting
The nib is bent
. Nibs can be straightened
The barrel is distorted especially around the lever.
This is most likely on fairly cheap pens. The problem is not curable
The plastic is discoloured
. This is unlikely to be ink staining, although it is worth checking. There is no known repair
Black hard rubber has turned Brown
. The rubber can be published and cleaned.
The nib will not come out of a safety pen.
If it is often merely jammed, but be extremely careful not to break the spiral while you are releasing it.
Nib on a safety Ken flops in and out
. The spiral is broken. It is unlikely that this can be repaired permanently, and replacements are difficult to find unless, of course, it is a common make
The filigree is broken
This is usually irreparable. It is rarely possible to take off filigree from a spare pen to replace another one
An abilone panel is cracked
The whole panel may be replaceable, or the cracked panel may be minimized if it is removed and cleaned

Got a chip, glass repair?

Thanks a lot, Jonathan. Unfortunately it seems there is no way I can ask for Suad to work on my car, it will be any tech from the shop. I will be getting it done at Safelite Autoglass.
I had another question: I've just had a claim on my insurance. My car's front wheels were stolen (my other car, Acura Integra) and its been less than a week. I switched insurances and some people have recommended that I pay on my own and NOT report the chip to the new insurance company. I really am okay with that except:
The glass repair shop said that if the glass does break while being repaired, the liability is my own. At that point of time, I cannot choose to go thru my insurance. The decision as to whether or not go thru my insurance has to be taken _before_ the repairs start.
What would you recommend?

Yay!), and I just realized that we totally forgot to put something together to divide her crate until she's bigger/housetrained. Is there anything we can use that we'd likely have laying around the house? Would some towels stuffed in the back work, or a piece of heavy cardboard tied in as a divider?

In an effort to evade the men who killed her boyfriend, former model Teri Slaughter flees New York City and takes refuge in a San Antonio convent, masquerading as her own sister.
But when hot and hunky homicide detective Angel Garcia tries to protect her from the killers, he proves to be a threat to her heart. He takes her to the only "safe house" available: the one where he was raised. His parents and siblings take her in and teach her the real meaning of family and home.
To protect the nuns, Teri uses herself as bait, leading the killers on a chase through Brackenridge Park on foot, miniature train, and golf cart. In the end, the only one to catch her is Angel.

During the 1890s Assemblyman James O. Davidson (on the left, wearing a bowler hat) of Soldiers Grove, was an early supporter of the La Follette wing of the Republican Party. In 1899 he became state treasurer, and in 1902 Davidson was elected lieutenant governor as the running mate of Robert M. La Follette, Sr. Davidson became governor on January 1, 1906 when La Follette resigned to become senator. In the Republican gubernatorial primary election in September 1906, La Follette threw his support to Irvine Lenroot. Davidson won anyway and was ultimately responsible for enactment of much of the the Progressive legislative program. In 1910 he chose not to run again, however. Davidson eventually became allied with the Stalwart wing of the Republican Party. This photograph shows Governor Davidson shortly after his 1906 electoral success, but the occasion documented is unknown.

Love It!!
By Deb
from Orillia, ont.
I love this product for my sensitive over 60 skin. The only recommendation I have is to offer this as a duo including the serum and cream for those of us who do not use the cleaning product. I love the serum and creame but must purchase the trio or buy them all separately which is more expensive. Please offer both duo and trio.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

System does what it promises..YAY!
By Allison
from Vancouver
I have been using this system for 3 months now...LOVE IT!!! It did take about a month to completely adjust from my regular SKINN face wash routine(another ridiculously good system...but for normal skin). On this new system my skin has become clearer and less pigmented than it was in my early 20's. It has literally knocked 15 years off the look of my skin. THANK YOU SKINN!I will say that the packaging could be improved upon...but what's inside makes the odd lid popping off from time to time well worth the second or two it takes to re-attach it.
Geat natural product and great value.
By JOANNE
from Montreal
Makes my skin feel soft moisturized and fabulous. If you look at the ingredients, the first one is cucumber not water. These products are high quality, natural, and not expensive, like all of Dimitri's products. You are not paying for mostly water. I like the fact that when on air he goes into detail about what his products contain, and why they work. He knows what he is talking about.
has the serum changed?
By NORMA
from TORONTO
I have used this product for a few months now. The the serum used to be quite thin (like most serums). But it seems to be almost as thick as the moisturizer now. Has it changed? has anyone else noticed this?
A lovely addition for Skinn.
By DIANE
from CORNWALLIS , NS
This is a well thought out line, 3 products providing excellent basic skin care for the most sensitive skin types. The packaging supports the concept also, with no contamination possible.I did feel that the size dispensed with each pump wasn't very accurate to how much was really requred-I think the serum and cream could be re-worked to deliver less.For my 65 year old skin, this is not the best match in terms of anti-aging, but supplemented with some other Skinn products it is perfect.For anyone with very sensitive skin you couldn't do better than this-top notch!

SKINN Skinnaturals Triple Relief System
By Newfy Pearl
from Newfoundland
Feels good. After one week you see what the product can do. You feel you are doing something good for your skin.I like the pump action as you are not dipping your finger into the product and possibly contaminating it. However I do not always get the same amount with each pump, and I wonder how much will be lost at the bottom or sides when the container is close to empty. No scooping around the jar to get every last drop here.I would recommend SKINN products in general, not necessarily this line. You use a little and it feels good. You do get your money's worth in the standard packaging.
not so good
By Dort
from Kingston,Ontario
Sorry but one of the cantainers (cleanser) arrived damaged but ocould use anyway but found the other 2 products made my sin break out and more redness was created rather than subdued so had to return
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

President Obama: "No Smart Way" To Cut $85 Billion (but he can go on Safari)
No Smart Way?
Safari Edition
A few months ago, the administration insisted there was "no smart way" to avoid the sequester. Soon after, the White House cancelled tours indefinitely, blaming their "staffing reductions" on the spending cuts. However, The Washington Post recently discovered documents detailing the administration's plans to go on a safari with a counterassault team during their upcoming trip to Africa. Let's get this straight: the administration can't find room in the budget for constituents to tour the White House, yet it seriously considered an expensive African safari? When will they get it?
President Obama: "No Smart Way" To Cut $85 Billion: "The problem is, when you're cutting $85 billion in seven months … there's no smart way to do that. There's no smart way to do that." ("Obama on Sequester Cuts: 'There's No Smart Way To Do That,'" Real Clear Politics, 2/26/13)
SHOT: White House Scheduled Safari For Upcoming Trip To Africa. "The president and first lady had also planned to take a Tanzanian safari as part of the trip, which would have required the president's special counterassault team to carry sniper rifles with high-caliber rounds that could neutralize cheetahs, lions or other animals if they became a threat, according to the planning document. But officials said Thursday that the safari had been canceled in favor of a trip to Robben Island off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, where Nelson Mandela was held as a political prisoner. When The Post first asked White House officials about the safari last week, they said no final decision had been made." (Carol D. Leonnig and David Nakamura, "Document: Major Resources Needed For Obama Africa Trip," The Washington Post, 6/13/13)
CHASER: White House Tours Cancelled "Until Further Notice" Due To Sequester. "The White House is cancelling all public tours of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as a result of the sequester spending cuts, a senior administration official confirms. 'Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that WhiteHouse Tours will be canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013 until further notice,' according to a cancellation notice that was sent to congressional offices." (Mary Bruce, "White House Tours Cancelled Due To Sequester Cuts," ABC News, 3/5/13)

spray chrome
Has any one had exeriance with water applied chrome .or water base chrome such as Alsa exotic paint or MEKKI ,not spray can ,I want to chrome entire truck then spray candy over the chrome ,,any Good OR Bads. Need some advise.:confused: :confused:
i aint got no idea but it sounds like it would be cool as heck if you can do it! i like your thinkin.
I haven't used it, since I found out some of the difficulties others have encountered... but I can tell you a couple things you should know.
I haven't used it, but it requires that you first do a complete buffed black paint job, before applying the "chrome"... so don't plan on it being easy.
The paint is sensitive enough to repuire using all specially engineered products, so the solvents will not attack the "chrome", causing it to look like metallic silver.
Once you get the candy on it, it will be almost impossible to ever spot repair.
Candy paint jobs are also hard to match, in case you tried to repaint an entire section.
Even though I am a career custom painter, I would not even agree to do it for a customer. That's how much confidence I have in it being very frustrating.
If you are still daring enough... Good luck... and post some pictures! :-)
Thanks Jay, ihave been reading few goods several bads,cant paint underhood cannot exceed 150 degrees cannot be sumerged in water more than 2 hrs ,1 company wants buyers of kit to come to japan for training ,others send vodeo and a rep for training ,i have painted House Of Colors for years with great on( most ) had one candy pearl Tangerine i could not repair had to repaint ,luckly on a motorcycle ,i normaly paint it over gold or silver might have to continue until they get better systems ,i want to put candy brandywine over chrome i think it would look great ,nut not willing to sped 8k for system just to see if i like it
When I was at SEMA there was a company doing chrome metallic wraps on cars in all different shades. Red was one of them. They did a demo on a new Chrysler 300. Might be exactly the look you're going for, without all the headache.
Thanks but wrap is not what i need,check out ,new revolutionary chrome playing systems or www-chrome-plating,jp. they have videos of process ,if you havent seen it you need to look . it does require their water not tap water and a mix of 5 chemicals ,and of suposivly Their equipment i want this where i can spray mabe ,house of colours transparent red, over it .the kit they offer is a tint you mix in paint it would not have the effect i am looking for
I recently did a Harley road bike in the 2010 Camaro Synergy green. It uses an unusually brilliant silver base, with a green tint coat on top. That green coat has a pearl mixed in, which MAY make the repairability more likely.
Possibly, you could experiment, and make a red top coat using candy red plus a pearl mixed in, that has a similar effect.
If not, maybe just trying some samples using that silver base... or comparison to the standard basecoat silvers. This silver might give your Brandywine give an even stronger candy-look than you usually get over metallic.
If you aren't familiar with the green, Google the color name for pictures of those Camaros. A few of the photos show the intensity it actually has in bright light.
The look isn't really my cup of tea, but just throwing it out there. Also I'm pretty sure there's an alsa and chrome paint test thread floating around on here. Cboy (Dewey) used it on his suspension of his most recent build as well, if i'm not mistaken.
I like the look of a wrap, but on hot rod tv they did a wrap on a 69 nova project car /race car with a 572 ,you probably remember appox 4 years ago ,they stated it should last up to 3 years since it was not street driven and stored inside ,i saw it couple of months ago it is now Black mlike the original color .the wrap was blue dont know if removed wrap or had yo repaint it thr nova is at a drag race school for students to drive to obtain there race license.
Yeah they aren't nearly as durable as a quality paint job, but I saw the 300 get covered in about an hour. The cool thing is that if you decide that you're tired of red, you can do blue, or green or keep it off and paint it. Repair is easy as just rewrapping the damaged panel. It has it's benefits and negatives.
I agree that it probably wont look as cool as what you're suggesting with paint. I'll look up the Nova, thanks for the heads up! :thumbup:
But if you wraped a dodge or a ford wouldnt you pull the paint off if you tried to remove it??? The stuff I've worked with (removing) was stuck on there pretty well..
I had a wrapped van come in to get it removed and had to pass on it...I was afraid most of the paint would come off with the vinyl...

Will The Bring-Your-Own-Device Phenomenon Help Propel Desktop Virtualization?
Posted by Bill Martorelli on October 7, 2011
- 496 Recommendations
- 0 comments
I recently appeared on CIO Talk Radio to discuss the growing challenge brought by increased diversity of computing devices in the workplace and the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend. There is no question that customers are increasingly embracing their own technology in the workplace, and in many cases believe the technology they themselves own is superior to that provided by their employers. The tablet computer is certainly one big part of this, and the ultimate impact may be as disruptive as that brought by the original PC.
IT executives like Steve Phillips, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Office of Avnet, my co-panelist on the CIO Radio broadcast, are beginning to see that desktop virtualization provides a potentially useful means to separate the realm of the corporate environment from the private world of the device user in this increasingly diverse environment. Outsourcing suppliers are definitely seeing this trend. They are gearing up for the potentially significant opportunity by running pilots and helping customers implement desktop scenarios, although with some differences from the past: For one thing, a focus on a more selective tiered approach to desktop virtualization as opposed to a one-size-fits-all. That tendency, along with the accompanying high cost for bandwidth, were a stumbling point in the past, as well as several other factors described by my colleague Steven Johnson.
But what do you think? And if considering desktop virtualization, do you envision a role for service partners or will you go it alone?

The Best Workouts for New Moms
One of the most intense, hardcore, and majestic athletic events that half of us humans can ever participate in is pregnancy and childbirth. My wife Alice has been the builder of our three kids, and regardless of the preparation that you've done in the nine months leading up to the big event, you can never plan exactly for how game day is going to go.

Cottonwood quarterback Cooper Bateman has been selected to the 2013 Under Armour All-American game next year, joining some of the top football prospects around the nation at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.
His selection was announced Wednesday afternoon.
It's another national event in a long line of such exhibitions for Bateman, an Alabama-committed senior who went to The Opening and Elite 11 camps over the summer. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN on Jan. 4, 2013.
Representatives for the game will present Bateman with an honorary game jersey at Cottonwood High on Friday at 10 a.m., in advance of the team's game against Skyline (Wash.). That game is scheduled to be televised on ESPN U starting at 7 p.m.
Although Bateman has gotten national recognition, he and his Colts teammates have struggled to start the season. Cottonwood is 0-2, and Bateman has only thrown one touchdown and run in one other.

Taylor Swift & Karlie Kloss Enjoy Lady Bonding While Men Throw Bottles at Singer's Home
They're both usually such busy gals, but thankfully Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss made time to catch up while they were both in Manhattan on Tuesday (June 17).
The "Red" songbird donned a baby blue top with black stretch pants and maroon heels as she meandered around New York City with a navy floral sundress-wearing Kloss.
Unfortunately, Taylor's security staff at her Rhode Island estate had to deal with three unruly intruders on Sunday (June 15), and thankfully she wasn't home.
Tristan Kading, Emily Kading and Michael Horrigan allegedly threw beer bottles and shouted profanity outside the Westerly mansion. They were arrested and released, pending a court date.

MLB • Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa are listed on the baseball Hall of Fame ballot for the first time, setting up an election sure to become a referendum on the Steroids Era.
The 37-player ballot was announced Wednesday.
Bonds is the all-time home run champion with 762 and won a record seven MVP awards. Clemens took home a record seven Cy Young trophies and is ninth with 354 victories. Sosa ranks eighth on the homer chart with 609.
Yet for all their HRs, RBIs and Ws, the shadow of PEDs looms large.
More than 600 longtime members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America will vote through next month. Candidates need 75 percent for induction, and the results will be announced Jan. 9.
• The Atlanta Braves made baseball's first big offseason move when they agreed to terms with former Tampa Bay center fielder B.J. Upton on a five-year contract worth $75.25 million, the largest free-agent contract in franchise history.
The Braves weren't expected to make an announcement before Thursday, but Upton changed the avatar on his Twitter page to a Braves script "A" by early Wednesday evening.
Upton, 28, has spent his entire career with the Rays and hit .246 with a personal-best 28 homers along with 31 stolen bases in 2012.
Morgan's hat trick lifts U.S. to 5-0 win
Women's soccer • Alex Morgan scored three first-half goals and the Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. women's national team beat Ireland 5-0 on Wednesday night, the latest match in an exhibition tour for fans following the London Games.
Sydney Leroux added two goals to help the top-ranked United States improve to 4-0-2 on its Fan Tribute Tour.
Morgan struck first in the 24th minute. It was her 25th goal this year, making her the third U.S. player to reach the mark in a season Abby Wambach had 31 in 2004 and Michelle Akers had 39 in 1991.

High. He had 50 tackles, 2 fumble recoveries, 2 blocked field goals and an interception in 2009 on defense, as well as completed 126-of-236 passes (53.4%) for 2,279 yards with 18 TDs and rushed for 921 yards on 115 carries (8.0 avg.) with 14 TDs on offense and returned 12 kickoffs for a 35.2-yard average.
As a 2008 junior, he was an All-CIF Western Division and All-Golden League selection as he made 40 tackles, 6 tackles for a loss and 4 interceptions on defense and also had 27 catches for 443 yards with 5 TDs and 133 rushing yards and 5 TDs on just 5 carries on offense.
As a sophomore in 2007, he passed for 589 yards and 7 TDs and also ran for 3 TDs.
