West MI SportsCenter Morning Edition - 06/09/2014
David Ortiz smacked a go-ahead three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning as the Boston Red Sox rallied past the Detroit Tigers (5-3) to avoid a three-game sweep at Comerica Park last night. Joba Chamberlain falls to (1-3) with his second blown save of the season. The Tigers are in Chicago to play the White Sox starting tonight. It's the first four-game series. First pitch is 8:10pm, and Rick Porcello will get the start tonight for Detroit.
The West Michigan Whitecaps are now just a 1/2 game back of first place in the Eastern Division after defeating South Bend (7-1) yesterday at Fifth-Third Ballpark. That's the eighth straight win at home for the Caps who will host the Silverhawks again tonight with first pitch set for 7pm.

The Black Hole (original 1979; edition 1979)
by Alan Dean Foster (Author), Jeb Rosebrook (Author), Gerry Day (Author)
Work details
The Black Hole by Alan Dean Foster (1979)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I'm going to have to go back and rewatch the movie but I think the book and film have slightly different interpretations on the ending. Other than that the book is a fairly straight-up version being nearly identical to the film (minus of course the great theatrical score). It was an enjoyable and quick read.
I didn't realize this was a film novelization when I picked it up, but it did read cinematically. More dialogue and description than characterization, it was quite suspenseful, particularly towards the end. The final scenes were probably better on film, as it was difficult to track what was going on in all the action. The plotting and conceptualization was intriguing and it was a pretty quick read. Overall, satisfying, but not mind blowing. The ending was a bit disappointing, although points for being unexpected.
A bad movie spawned this book, which wasn't much better. The movie featured bad science and poor acting, the book improves on the science a little, and is a little better written than the screenplay. Not worth much except for nostalgia, maybe.
I loved this movie as a kid, so I read the book back then looking for more dicussion of the metaphysical scenes at the end of the film. I was 9 years old the Christmas the film came out and perhaps a couple of years older when I read the novel, so I am unable to comment with any accuracy about the writing style (I imagine it is a fun read; Alan Dean Foster generally does not disappoint with his movie novelizations.), but I know that when I finished the novel I was disappointed in the ending. I am not sure what I wanted -- perhaps scenes like the ones I would encounter at age 14 when I first read Dante -- but whatever I was expecting, the book carried me only as far along the path as the movie had done.

Hi, I am Tim Parnell. I have been making Mac software since 2007, when I released one of my most popular projects, MacDust. I am now a software developer with several products available.
I currently work with BKeeney Software. In the past I have worked with the TinyGrab team; and as an in-house developer for MacHeist.
I am not available for contract work at this time.
A collection of my Xojo Web controls, available as one easy to use package. Brings Bootstrap controls to Xojo, and features workaround hot-fixes for some Xojo bugs.
An easy to use WYSIWYG rich text editor with HTML input and output for Xojo Developers. Originally created as a component for Answers, the control is now available as both a Desktop and Web control.
Created to encourage software developers to write documentation for their products by offering this cool app for free. Answers is gaining traction and is used daily by developers around the world.
Created a Mac desktop client, for the lovely yourls URL shortener. Desktop client featured a global keyboard shortcut, and a history of links.
Worked on the Mac desktop client. Maintained features, and updated the code for the new upload API. Added drop-on-menuitem feature with the help of friends.
Hired as an in-house developer for MacHeist, my main responsibility was the desktop chat client. The app connected with the web chat and recieved server notifications which were pushed to Growl notifications and dock icon badges.
Created back when hard drive space was much more limited, MacDust was my first major project. It cleaned out caches and other support files that got large rather quckly. It also cleaned logs, transcripts, and miscellaneous "dusty" files.

I think the best way to do it is keeping in mind the 3 aspect ratios. 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10. Then making the background in the highest possible resolution for each. People can then resize it to their needs. I'm sure many are capable of that much.

Why BMW Owners Wash Their Cars More Than Others

here's why I wash my car more than most: I'm a clean freak. I'm in my car a lot and I like to be comfortable. Knowing it's clean makes me comfortable. My first car was a 1993 Nissan Alitma. I treated it the same way. My second car was a 2002 Maxima. Cleanest car on the block. My wife's previous car, an infiniti g35, stayed clean. her current car - a lexus rx350. stays clean. and so does my 550. it's just how I am and has little to do with BMW - although the car looks great when polished.
I'm a male, I guess I'm middle class, whatever that means and it wasn't a sacrafice to purchase my car. Interesting article but mostly useless.

What if NYC Had Won its Bid To Host the 2012 Olympic Games?
Fred Mogul will be on the Brian Lehrer Show Wednesday morning to discuss his reporting on this story.
(Fred Mogul - New York, NY, WNYC) Two fencers duel on a New York City sidewalk. One scores a hit. The other concedes. The winner claims the elusive, available taxi.
A woman weightlifter hoists a grocery-filled granny cart over her shoulders, crosses the neighborhood and climbs the stairs of a walk-up.
The images come from a pair of ads, back in 2005, with the tagline: "The Olympic Games in New York. We've been training for this forever. NYC-2012."
But the training wasn't enough. Seven years ago, London defeated New York City's bid to host the XXX Summer Olympiad, and the results are on stage for all the world to see.
But what if the Big Apple had won? What would the games have looked like, and what would their legacy be? And would New Yorkers be any less ambivalent about the Olympics in 2012 than they were in 2005?
For one, there certainly would be a wealth of new structures.
Runners would be sprinting in an Olympic Stadium overlooking either the Hudson River or Flushing Bay.
Swimmers would be freestyling in a new aquatic center on the Williamsburg waterfront.
Cyclists would be zipping around a velodrome in the Bronx.
And thousands of athletes would be staying in the new Olympic Village, an apartment building in Long Island City, Queens, across the East River from the United Nations.
Most of the proposed facilities now exist only in the bid books the city and the non-profit NYC-2012 presented to the International Olympic Committee. But a handful of projects have been developed, even without the games. New York's proposal emphasized that most of what the city would build was necessary, anyway. The Olympic legacy would pay dividends for generations to come, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and others argued.
Mitchell Moss, an urban policy professor at NYU and a self-described "informal advisor" to Bloomberg, says so many things have, in fact, been built or are under construction from the Olympic bid that the city really did win the Olympics, figuratively speaking.
"The net effect of having this is that we basically took underused parts of our city and put them to use," said Moss. "The Olympics are 17 days of sports, but what New York got is a century's worth of new housing and infrastructure."
Moss cites the following as Olympics-inspired triumphs:
- The No. 7 subway is being extended from Grand Central Terminal to 11th Avenue. After several delays, the MTA says it's schedule to open in mid 2014 and be fully completed at the end of 2015.
- The revised Olympic stadium evolved into Citi Field, the home of the Mets, since 2009.
- The would-be gymnastics center became the soon-to-open home of the Brooklyn Nets, Atlantic Yards.
- A sports and cultural center at the 169th Street Armory in Harlem and a new aquatic center and ice rink in Flushing Meadows, Queens, were stalled 1990s projects, until the Olympic bid renewed pressure to fund them, bringing them to completion a few years later.
Less concrete — both literally and figuratively — victories are the Hudson rail yard on the far West Side of Manhattan and Hunters Point in Queens. Moss said the two massive industrial sites had been targeted for redevelopment for decades, but were always captive to controversy and inertia.
Moss puts them in the "win" column, arguing that pressure from the Olympics bid led to their rezoning for residential and commercial use.
"These were all tied to the Olympic [bid] deadline," Moss said.
But Greg David isn't so sanguine. The Crain's Business columnist and CUNY professor calls the far West Side and Hunters Point — by far the biggest challenges before, during and since the Olympic proposal — Exhibits A and B of premature self-congratulation. Both sites have a handful of new buildings, but full development could take decades.
"It isn't true 'We won by losing,' because [hosting] the Olympics would've pushed this agenda much further ahead," David said. "Look at the Hudson rail yards. It's supposed to be the next great Rockefeller Center. Well, the Olympics are about to start in London, and we're not about to put the platform up that's needed for that development, because there aren't any tenants for it yet."
New Yorkers were divided in 2005 about the merits of hosting the Olympics, and they continue to split over whether the crowds that would've converged and the development that would have ensued would have been good or bad for the metropolitan area.
"I think it would have been lots of fun and definitely help the area a lot," said Kevin Li, 26, outside the Aquatic Center in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, where water polo games were slated to be held under the city's proposal.
Nearby, Wayne Conti, 60, disagreed.
"Sometimes it turns out afterwards that in their rush to build they didn't really build the right things and you're kind of stuck with it afterwards," he said.
Andrew Wong, 40, a Queens resident who works on the Far West Side sees both sides.
"For most of us regular working folks it would have wreaked havoc on our everyday lives," he said.
But he noted development in the area, which is inevitable, would have moved forward more quickly and coherently, if the city had to build a stadium and whip the largely industrial area into shape by 2012.
"When you have a deadline everything falls into place. All the politics, all the deadlock with the government — everybody finds a way to make things happen. When you don't have a deadline, everything stretches out forever."
Perhaps not forever. But for Hudson Yards, Hunters Point and other areas in the city's Olympic bid book, it could take a while.
Whether New Yorkers think that's a good or bad thing depends on whether they believe urban development, like the Olympics, should be Faster, Higher, Stronger — or they prefer a different approach, like Slow and steady wins the race.

" Brand: ELC / Type: Car "
My 2 year old daughter received this either for Christmas or her birthday last year, I can't remember which. She has a love of cars, so the buyer obviously thought this was a great choice for a girl who loves cars, and it wasn't a bad choice because she does play with it quite regularly...but perhaps not in the way it was intended.
**Just Too Funky***
Rosie's World Daisy's Funky Car is a pink plastic vehicle which comes with a Rosie's World doll (you know the ones, they have massive heads and lots of hair - see one of my previous reviews) and a picnic basket. The pink vehicle resembles a jeep with space for two passengers at the front, and some small boot space I suppose for the picnic basket. The car is decorated with pink flowers and plays a lovely girly tune when you press a small button located in the boot; the headlights and rear lights also flash when this music plays. If you push the steering wheel you get the sound of an engine starting up and a horn beeping, and again the headlights flash.
The car is pretty well made; it feels robust and hasn't fallen apart yet despite rough play from both my daughters. The wheels spin really freely and it easily moves along carpet, laminate, concrete; and sand surprisingly. The wheels spin so well that it is possible to push the car and it rumbles along on its own for quite a substantial distance, I am actually really impressed with the wheels!
The doll is an added extra that we could do without, she has moveable limbs and head, and comes dressed in removable clothing, which is very difficult to remove and put back on again. She also wears a sun-hat head band type thing which is virtually impossible to put on her head so that it stays in position (that dratted hair!) It is also quite difficult to sit her comfortably in the car. Needless to say this doll was cast aside long ago, in fact I do not even know where she is, I have not seen her for months.
The picnic basket I initially thought was a pointless accessory; that was until my daughter discovered that it opened out and was full of little treasures. Inside you will find a tiny blanket, some plastic food, and cutlery. The cutlery is positively tiny, I cannot remember the exact quantity but I think you get a couple of knives and a couple of forks; these have been lost several times over, although they do keep reappearing every now and then. I have frequently caught my 2 year old pretending to eat with the fork, but it is so tiny that she could swallow it, and this frightens me.
***Play Time***
Both my daughters (aged 4 and 2) do actually play with the car quite regularly, although they do not use the doll at all. My youngest plays with it most frequently and uses it to transport her Puppy In My Pocket toys about the house, the baby dogs often get stuck in the foot wells of the car, and I know if she is missing a dog I can usually find them stuck in there. It's not just a dog transporter though, she also uses it to transport her other cars around; the boot space is just wide enough to fit a small matchbox sized car in lengthways, although they can get stuck and this causes tantrums, and she puts a car in each seat too.
The fact that the car has an open top and a lot of space for putting small toys in is a major advantage of this toy because it adds to the enjoyment factor. My kids are not particularly girly girls, so something that comes with a doll and a picnic basket is never going to be in their top ten favourites, but the car being the way it is has won them over and they can integrate in with their other toys. It often something I have to clear away on a night so that proves it gets played with rather a lot.
Well the car is great despite its pink floweriness, my children love to play with it, and it has survived many expeditions around the house and rough garden terrain. The lights that come on are a cool extra feature and the music is non-irritating. However, the doll I find extremely irritating and am quite glad it has disappeared, and I find the contents of the picnic basket slightly worrying and a choking hazard.
What really irritates me, and I'm sure I've mentioned this before in other reviews, is why toy manufacturers feel the need to turn everything pink if it's designed for a girl. My girls, although they love the colour pink, do not require every toy they own to be pink, flowery, and covered in fairy dust! Thank you very much!!
I suppose I recommend the toy because my kids do enjoy the car, but I am not giving it 5 stars because half of it has gone missing and was never played with in the first place, and I think £16 is quite expensive for what you get.
Requires 2 x AA batteries (provided)
£16.00 from The Early Learning Centre
Recommended for ages 3-8

This is an image you don't see on the nightly news much anymore but just because our corrupt government wants to keep American Citizens desensitized and in the dark doesn't mean the coffins stop coming. Since 2001 there have been 1,827 such flag draped caskets sent back from Afghanistan to the U.S. Wounded in action numbers total 15,460. Also, one U.S. soldier is currently being held as a prisoner of war since July 1, 2009.
While we are busy on this Memorial Day Remembering The Service & Sacrifice of Those Who Have Given Their Lives For Our Country I want to ask you to stop and ask yourself why you continue to accept the injustice and deprivation of freedom that we Americans continue to endure from the criminals running our country. These brave young soldiers didn't go overseas and lay down their lives so that we Citizens could be further railroaded into "MANDATED HEALTHCARE" or similar freedom robbing abominations of THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. They did it so we would remain "FREE."
I'm afraid freedom is a word which is quickly losing it's fundamental definition due largely to the generational brainwashing of being born into the current system of legislation, taxation, permitting and licensing. Make no mistake my fellow Citizen, freedom can't and won't exist in the same room as the word MANDATORY. Freedom can't tolerate the deprivation of Constitutionally Guaranteed Rights such as the right to own property without paying a yearly rent, which every single homeowner in this country is currently doing. There's no freedom in being taxed and fined and licensed to death and every time some new bill is introduced by a crooked Washington politician, or as King Obama likes to refer to them, PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS, we lose another freedom and the blood that is shed on our behalf by our troops is dripped a little more in vain. Each time another family has to bury their 20 year old solider and experience the agony of that loss the injustices being perpetrated on our country by the Washington elite players club become more and more egregious in comparison.
These brave soliders have done all they can do; they've given up their lives, their futures, their families. It's now time for us, we the people, the American Citizens, you and I, to finally, once and for all take the steps necessary to reclaim what has been stripped from us by the political elite: our constitutional sovereignty. If you aren't familiar with that term, google it, because within the crevices of those two words lies the answer to restoring our republic and with it, The American Dream.

Photography Exhibit Hosted On Twitter Unveils London's Hidden Gems
Fashion photographer Nick Knight collaborated with American Express to host a real-time urban photography exhibit on Twitter.
The way we consume art is evolving as digital innovations bleed into the creative world. Admiring the Mona Lisa no longer means hopping on a plane and jetting to Paris, because the Louvre has an official app that lets you soak in the iconic painting from the palm of your hand. Technology also allows art to be immortalized –the Google Street Art Project lets you view fleeting graffiti art around the globe online. Cut to the latest fusion of tech and art, photographer Nick Knight's real-time urban photography exhibition, a gallery breaking free of museum walls and displayed exclusively on Twitter.
Fashion photographer Nick Knight is collaborating with American Express to create #MySecretCity, an exhibition dedicated to unveiling the hidden beauty in the streets of London. The real-time gallery kicked off on the American Express Twitter account on Thursday, and aims at engaging locals often too absorbed in their devices to appreciate the urban ambiance. Knight commented about the project,
I'm really excited to be involved in the first real-time exhibition of its kind, set in the city that gives me so much inspiration for my work. The poetry of roses, the beauty of architecture, both classical and modern and the vast array of human relationships and cultures caught up in the flow of communication between millions of people and their actions. All these different tempos of life flowing over each other. I feel our familiarity with the place we live can make us miss the brilliance that is all around us, which is why I've teamed up with American Express to celebrate this wonderful city and help people see its hidden beauty. To show the things that are always there but so often go unseen. London's hidden treasures.
The inspiration behind the social media-centric exhibition was sparked by a study American Express conducted that suggests that Brits are stuck on 'Urban Autopilot' – research revealed that when exploring everyday surroundings, seven out of ten are looking down at their smartphones and tablets. That is a lot of craned necks.
"The cities we live in are brimming with potential, although we may only appreciate a fraction of what they have to offer. As a fashion photographer, Nick has consistently challenged conventional notions of beauty. We've challenged him to re-imagine his commute to work and take a look at other sides to London, in the hope that they inspire others to realize the potential of their city," Vice President Brand and Communications of American Express Melissa Weber said.
Knight's imagery captures unexpected local gems, from the telescopic view of St. Paul's Cathedral to a sprawling field of wild flowers to industrial train tracks running through the Willesden hills. Perhaps the awe-inspiring series of photos in locals' Twitter feeds will give them incentive to feast their eyes on the world away from the screen.

Whom Despots Fear

"Greece would not have fallen had it obeyed Polybius in everything, and when Greece did meet disaster, its only help came from him" Pausanias, 8.37.2, Inscription on the Temple of Despoina near Arakesion.
In Book VI of his Histories, the ancient Greek historian Polybius described three basic forms of government, each categorized by the number of those in power. He listed monarchy (rule by the one); aristocracy (rule by the few); and democracy (rule by the many). Polybius described, over time, how each type of government would gradually decline into their various corrupted forms of tyranny, oligarchy and mob rule, respectively.
Polybius believed that Republican Rome had designed a new form of government that could help check this inevitable decline. Rome combined all three forms of government — monarchy (its elected executives, called consuls); aristocracy (the Senate); and democracy (the popular assemblies). In this mixed form of goverment, each branch would check the corrupting ambitions and power of the others.
Plato, Aristotle and Cicero all praised the construction of a "mixed constitution" and the requirement of a separation of powers within government.
The French nobleman and legal expert Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron de Montesquieu, studied the rise and fall of the Roman Republic. He believed that a properly designed government, in order to prevent tyranny, would require three branches of government. He wrote, "If it is to provide its citizens with the greatest possible liberty, a government must have certain features. First, since 'constant experience shows us that every man invested with power is apt to abuse it … it is necessary from the very nature of things that power should be a check to power' . This is achieved through the separation of the executive, legislative, and judicial powers of government… [to prevent any one] from acting tyrannically."
The British philosopher John Locke was also keenly interested in a design for government that would prevent it from descending into tyranny. In the late 17th century, Locke argued that monarchs had no "divine right" to rule; instead, he asserted that the source of power lay in the people. Furthermore, he stated that humans were born into this world with certain natural and "inalienable" rights including to "life, liberty and property". Locke believed that government could not grant these rights because they were God-given; therefore, no government could take them away or withhold them from the people.
Thomas Jefferson used Locke's concepts as central tenets when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. He proclaimed the government's duty to protect the sacred attributes of the individual: "…to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form…"
"…when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
As well, America's Founding Fathers repeatedly cited Baron de Montesquieu's seminal Spirit of the Laws and its emphasis on checks and balances within government. As James Madison wrote, "the oracle who is always consulted and cited on this subject is the celebrated Montesquieu."
We conservatives are originalists: If the Constitution's meaning is not interpreted as the framers intended, if it can be altered at will, then what protects any law from arbitrary interpretation, from the capricious whims of the ill-intentioned?
If the Constitution is "living and breathing", an amorphous guidebook of suggestions that may freely be interpreted based upon current events, trends, whims or biases, what then are the limits on government? And if the Constitution doesn't mean what it says, what protects the individuals from the encroachment of government intrusion into every aspect of individuals' lives?
The Tenth Amendment of the Constitution strictly limits the power of the Federal Government. It states, The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. In the Founders' view, state and local governments were free to experiment — to serve as "laboratories" in the words of Justice Louis Brandeis — in areas prohibited to the federal government. In the 1980's, for example, Oregon's successful welfare reform efforts became the models for subsequent actions by other states and even the federal government.
When the federal government ignores and breeches the Tenth Amendment, it represents an illegal diminution of representative government at the state and local levels.
The once-powerful states, which created the federal government by ratifying the Constitution, have become — in the words of Mark Levin — "administrative appendages of the federal government." The states are subject to ever-increasing federal regulation, strangled by dictates from agencies old and new, and held hostage through billions in federal tax dollars. Levin asks, "Does anyone believe that the states would have originally ratified the Constitution had they known this would be their fate?"
The path the modern federal government is on today was accurately described by Stuart Chase in 1942. He wrote that the agenda of the Fabian Socialists — who had launched a counter-revolution against America's founding — was to create an authoritarian, centralized government. The agenda of the Fabian Socialists include:
• Strong, centralized government
• Government-controlled banking, credit and securities exchange (TARP, etc.)
• Government control over employment (the "Employee Free Choice Act" to speed unionization of the workplace)
• Unemployment insurance, old age pensions (lengthy unemployment benefits, Social Security)
• Universal medical care, food and housing programs (socialized medicine, food stamps, HUD)
• Access to unlimited government borrowing (massive deficits)
• A managed monetary system (an opaque Federal Reserve)
• Government control over foreign trade (China tire tariffs)
• Government control over natural energy sources, transportation and agricultural production (drilling prohibitions, Cap-and-Trade)
• Government regulation of labor (the Wagner Act, monopolistic power of trade unions)
• Heavy progressive taxation.
This indeed describes "the road we are traveling"; the direction accelerated by the branches of government controlled by modern Democrats. While it may no longer be called socialism directly, nonetheless socialism it is. The Fabian Socialist counter-revolution began in earnest in the U.S. in 1933 with the imposition of the "Welfare State" and has been steadily progressing since. It confiscates ever more taxes, consolidates ever more power, while bankrupting program after program. And always — always — the federal government proclaims its need for more money and more power, promising that if only it can levy one more tax, enforce one more regulation, it will be able to solve all of man's woes.
The Greek historian Thucydides observed that "The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage." And in writing about the calamitous Peloponnesian War that engulfed and ultimately destroyed his society, he added that, "Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought."
History teaches us that the decline of a society and the demise of a government comes with the institutionalization of corruption and a wanton disregard for the written law. Such is our situation today, wherein the states have become puppets of an all-powerful federal government that confiscates more and more private property while exerting increasing control over every aspect of our lives.
If we are to protect our society from despotism and decline, whose counsel should we then cherish? Should we abide by thousands of years of experience and the wisdom of history's greatest philosophers — Polybius, Plato, Aristotle, Montesquieu, Locke, Jefferson, Adams and Madison among them? Men who understood the nature of a government's despotic decline and sought to construct a system to counter it?
Or should we disregard their guidance and follow instead the Fabian Socialists? Should we heed Cass Sunstein, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama?
The greatest bulwark against tyranny in America has always been the Constitution, which instantiates our carefully designed system of private property, God-given individual liberties and free enterprise.
If we are to protect our society from despotism and Fabian decline, whose counsel should we then cherish? I contend that we must fight the socialist counter-revolution using every political tool possible. We must return our country to the rule of law as defined by our founders and codified in the Constitution. Anything less condemns our descendants to the fate that Thucydides described.

Alyeska Resort's $20 million revamp has put adjacent Girdwood on the map with the four-star skier set. But savvy adventurers know skiing is just the beginning here. This bump-in-the-road town borders the half-million-acre Chugach State Park—home to countless glaciers, epic rafting, salmon fishing, mountaineering, cross-country skiing, and even windsurfing on Cook Inlet's narrow Turnagain Arm.
Rafting is a must-do in Girdwood, and the three-canyon Sixmile River is the best place to start. Beginners can take on its first two canyons ($95) or attempt the Class IVs and Vs of the third canyon ($139; www.nova-alaska.com).
Try the beef tenderloin and blue cheese potato cake, followed by some Alaskan bread pudding (blueberries and white chocolate, covered in warm bourbon sauce) with a "Pom-pagne" (pomegranate juice and champagne) at Jack Sprat (www.jacksprat.net).
Alta House Vacations provides a private village cabin for two all the way to a chateau for the family. Staying here will allow easy access to Mt. Alyeska (doubles from $125; www.thealtahouse.com).

02 Ej255 questions!
SO I have an 02 wrx did the ej255 swap its fully built have 1000cc injectors sti top mount and 300 fuel pump. However my vf39 blew up. I am trying to sell the car. And Vf39s are kind of expensive, at least where I've looked. I was wondering if a big 16g turbo or a 20g turbo would be good without me having to do anything as far as modifying anything. Also have heard 18g might be a viable option. I'm looking to keep price down because I don't have a lot of money to spare but also get a descent to better replacement.
Thanks so much :D
02 Ej255 questions!
If you wanna stay close to the vf39 you could find a vf43 it's an upgraded vf39 better waste gate and something else just can't remember off th top of my head. The vf43 was used in the 07 sti

And that will fit fine?
02 Ej255 questions!
Fit as in? It's practically the same turbo as your previous one. Wait for some other guys to chime in they should be able to help a little more
[color=gray]Sent from [url=http://www.autoguide.com/mobile]AutoGuide.com App[/url][/color]
If VF39s are "expensive" (WHAAAAAT?!), then why are you looking at turbos in the $700-$1,200 range that cost 3 to 4 times as much? WTF
On top of that, the ONLY turbo you can buy without needing to pay for another tune is another 39.
I could care less if it is a used turbo or not. I could care less if its an ebay turbo. I NEED TO SELL IT! This is simply something to get it running so I can put it back on the market. I had bought a used VF39 for 300 and it blew up on me so im looking for something more trustworthy
Then you're going to have to spend significantly more.

Hi Forum,
Recently bought my first gun: Glock 26 Gen 4. I bought a 2k rounds of Blazer 115gr aluminum for practice, but I was looking for some basic guidance on a good defensive round to keep for nightstand/carry. I thought the larger grain, the better, but then I read that the G26 doesn't like the 146 range.
What's a good, quality, safe defensive round to buy for the G26?
"Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."
-- President Ronald Reagan
146, 147... whatever it takes.
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.
Clint Eastwood
I would probably suggest a search, since it's asked very often.
What personal defense ammo do you trust your life to?
Winchester 9mm Luger 147 GR JHP Hollow-Point
Wondering who switches up their defensive ammo
I would think your Glock 26 would do just fine with the 147 grain bullets, which is what I generally prefer, but I also would not hesitate to carry 124 grain in one of the better ammo lines. Look at SGAmmo.com for good deals on premium defensive ammo. They have had Federal HST in stock in 124 and 147 lately. Golden Saber is good, as is Gold Dot, and Winchester Ranger T.
NRA Life Member
Spend enough range time to find a round that's utterly reliable in your specific example. With a G26, you shouldn't have a problem finding a solid defensive round that will work. Select a decent JHP cartridge, one that has shown itself (via ballistic gel tests) to have reliable expansion and good penetration.
115gr, 124gr or 147gr should be fine, so long as it's got reliable enough penetration and expansion for the job of defensive ammunition. Not all ammo performs equally, simply based on weight of the bullet.
Beyond that, there are only personal preferences. My choice has been the DoubleTap 9mm JHP 124gr +P. Many rely on the Winchester Ranger T 9mm 124gr +P. Many find the Remington Golden Saber 124gr to feed/cycle highly reliably. So long as it shows itself to be reliable in your own gun, and so long as they exhibit the desired performance characteristics, many of the "top" brand name choices should do.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Try several different brands and weights to see what your gun likes for reliability and accuracy. Im a middle of the road kinda guy. And I like something in the 124 grain range.
Hi oltombon;
I don't carry a 9mm with any frequency but do keep some 147 grain Winchester stuff around if I feel the need. I like heavier for caliber bullets.
Here's a little hint for the future.
Rather than "I thought the larger grain, the better..." you might prefer to say "heavier weight."
There's no such thing as "heavier grains." A grain is a unit of weight measure and it takes 7000 grains to equal one pound. Always has and always will.
Charter Member of the DC .41 LC Society "Get heeled! No really"
No possible rapidity of fire can atone for habitual carelessness of aim with the first shot.
Theodore Roosevelt, The Wilderness Hunter, 1893
I stick to the 124g +P loads, but I started carrying the critical duty 136g +p. I like to keep the velocity above 1000 ft/s. I would test a few different weights and manufactures to see what feeds and fires reliably in your gun and what you feel the most comfortable with.
Either 124, 124+p or 147 grain should work just fine. Stick with Speer Gold Dot, Winchester RANGER T or Federal HST.
Another excellent performer is the Speer Gold Dot 124+P Short Barrel that is specifically designed for barrels less than 3.5 inches.
Stay away from anything that is not used by law enforcement or anything that does not have a street record. Does that mean a round that isn't used by LE wouldn't work? No. However with so many variables in defensive shootings you will do well to chose your ammo police style.
I have Speer Gold Dot 124+P in my M&P Compact.
Good Luck
Stay Safe
I run HST, Gold Dots, and Ranger +p in my Glock 19. I have total confidence in any of those 124 grain loads, even the standard pressure HST and Gold Dots. Lord, I'd hate to get hit with any of it. A guy could mix a drink in the HST cavity.
If my 19 likes all that stuff (and it does), I expect your 26 will as well.
Don't stress about brand, or blah, blah, too much. Any info you get will probably be based on cooked up lab tests or personal prejudice.
Any good reputable company will produce ammo that will get er done.
When choosing ammo for a medium caliber, the heavier loadings get my nod for their better penetrating qualities that do not depend on variables like speed , that can be disrupted when striking bone or other material which impedes it, and hence, slowing it down.
Of course, the 124+p loadings can and have proven to work well, however, since you are using a 3.5 inch barrel, they will not reach their full velocity, so you are probably better off to use a 147 grn loading.
Of course, the most important part of the equation, other than reliability, is shot placement.
I would stay away from expensive designer type bullets like Critical Defense or others and stick with a conventional HP.
Once again, don't get caught up in the hype and bs that many induce in.
" Blessed is that man, who when facing death, thinks only of his front sight"

Coming from nothing makes giving all the more important to refugees at Whitehall Place
Tulasha Rimal remembers the day four years ago when she came to the United States as a refugee from Bhutan. She struggled to understand the culture and language of her new land.
Yet the kindness and generosity of others made all the difference, she said, and now it's her turn to help others in a similar situation, settling into a new country.
"I came to the United States. It's home now," said Rimal, 45, of Whitehall. "It's important to help others.... I understand now. Now I help new people."
About 90 English as second language students participating in 11 Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council classes at Whitehall Place, formerly the Prospect Park housing complex, donated more than 200 items during the last several weeks to be given to Catholic Charities to help support newly resettled refugees.
The students, mostly refugees themselves who came to the U.S. within the last three or four years from Bhutan, Burma, Turkey, Thailand and south Sudan, donated toiletry items, trash bags, clothing and toys.
"I think our students really like having the opportunity to help and give back," said Beth Kocsis, family literature coordinator with the Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council. "It's important to know that you don't have to have a lot of money to give back."
The idea to have refugees in the Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council's classes at the Whitehall complex give to others during the holidays started three years ago, when program services manager Many Ly saw a poster in the Whitehall Public Library seeking donations for military service members.
Ly said she pitched the idea to Compass AmeriCorps members who were teaching ESL classes at the time. They had concerns at first, she said, about asking those who had been through so much and still have so little to give. But the idea moved forward.
The first year, the donations started small. Refugees brought in pens and pencils. One woman even donated loose peanuts and a $1 bill, and a small box was given to the Whitehall library for its donation drive.
Last year, the holiday giving project became much larger. It was incorporated into students' learning activities where, as items were donated, they were counted and sorted and the refugees learned about poverty in America.
This year, that idea was expanded and the project became personal for the students. They were helping people going through something they once experienced.
When refugees come to the United States, organizations such as Catholic Charities have apartments set up with used furniture, basic toiletries, an outfit and even a cultural dinner to welcome them, said Sarah Nimeth, a family literature and adult education teacher and Compass AmeriCorps member.
"It's a huge cultural shock," she said.
Teachers asked students in the literary council classes what they liked having when they arrived.
"We said, 'Do you remember the first time you came to the U.S.? There are other people that are still coming to the U.S. What do you think they might need?'" Nimeth said.
They talked about who helped them when they arrived, what it was like getting off the plane and coming to a country they knew nothing about. Many didn't know how to read or write in their own language.
"It was amazing to hear their stories of, when you walked into your apartment for the first time what did you see?" Kocsis of the literacy council said.
There was cereal and macaroni and cheese, for example. The students now laugh at the story one woman told of throwing away the macaroni and cheese after taking a bite out of a hard noodle, and thinking the food was bad, Kocsis said.
"They didn't know you had to cook it," she said.
Coming from nothing makes giving all the more important for the refugees.
"The act of giving is a very empowering act, which is something that our students frankly don't get very often" said Alex Norman, adult and early childhood education teacher and Compass AmeriCorps member.
"They do it openly," Ly said.

Where will commodity prices go from here? Well, just as all asset classes moved up in a simultaneous bull market from 2003 to 2007, we now have the possibility of all asset classes—equities, property, bonds, and commodities—moving down in a simultaneous bear market. It could be protracted, global, and unavoidable.
We asked our technical analyst Gabriel Andre to take a look at the CRB Index and tell us what he saw. He produced the chart below.
What does the chart tell us? Gabriel says that, "The CRB index is experiencing a correction that should go further…This downturn corrects the bullish trend started in last August. Between August 22 last year and July 3 this year (points A and B on the chart), the index jumped by nearly 57%."
"The bearish momentum is likely to drive the CRB index lower," Gabriel adds. "The 75-day moving average was a good support to the bullish trend. The price action crossed below it on July 18. It was also corresponding to the 23.6% Fibonacci level. This breakout is a clear bearish signal. Moreover the index is not yet oversold."
Well. None of that is good news for resource bulls. It suggests that there is a capitulation low yet to be put in. That's the point at which even resource investors begin to doubt the wisdom of being long. The market will shake out anyone without conviction between now and then.
How bad can things get? We've read the work of Dr. Steven Keen from the University of Western Sydney over the last few months. He's one of the best analysts of Australia's debt problems that we've seen. You'll find some of his latest work here, "How Much Worse Can the Stock Market Get? A Lot Worse".

I was just reading the regulations and understand that using any electronic device attached to your rifle or bow is illegal and this also includes the lumenocks for your arrow. I also was wondering now that it is getting more and more popular to video your hunts and with many trying to do this on their own, if it was illegal to attach a video camera to your rifle or bow to video your own hunt as it is an electronic device.
To Whom It May Concern:
As the rule is written it is unlawful to archery hunt:
With any electronic or tritium-powered device attached to, or incorporated into, an arrow, bolt, crossbow, or bow (except nonmagnifying scopes containing battery powered or tritium lighted reticles may be used by disabled archery permit holders).
This rule also applies to any other hunt for big game animals regardless of weapon. The rule does not define electronic devices so it applies to all electronic devices, including still photo and video camera, except those mentioned in the rule above.

Boral buys foothold in US concrete
Page Tools
Construction company Boral yesterday strengthened its position in the US building materials industry, announcing two acquisitions which make it the third-largest concrete producer in the greater Denver metropolitan area.
The $US78 million ($112.2 million) acquisition of Ready Mixed Concrete Company and the assets of Owens Brothers Concrete, both in Denver, Colorado, include a number of concrete batching and masonry plants, sand and gravel deposits and associated machinery and transport.
Boral managing director Rod Pearse said the acquisitions represented the first step in establishing Boral's concrete and quarries position in the US.
"[It] furthers our strategy of being a focused building and construction materials company operating in Australia and increasingly offshore," Mr Pearse said. "These acquisitions are important in broadening Boral's construction materials presence in the US."
Combined, the acquisitions positioned Boral as the third-largest concrete producer in the greater Denver metropolitan area, Mr Pearse said, and both had long-term growth prospects.
Annual production for the combined acquisitions was estimated at 550,000 cubic metres of ready-mixed concrete, 1.6 million tonnes of sand and aggregates and about 7 million concrete masonry blocks, with a reserve life of more than 20 years.
The acquisitions would also be value-creating, Boral said, being earnings per share neutral in the first year and EPS positive thereafter.
Boral USA president Emery Severin said that, once integrated, the businesses would put Boral in a strong market position, and form part of its US expansion plans.
Boral last week announced it would build a $US12 million clay roof tile plant through an equal joint venture in Trinidad, in a bid to crack the Florida tile market, now dominated by South American interests.
Shares in Boral closed down 5c at $6.99 yesterday.

Concord Monitor: My Turn: Republicans's war on women is a Democratic myth
By Jennifer Horn
In 2012, President Obama won re-election in part by driving a false narrative that Republicans are waging a war on women. It seems that not much has changed in the Democrats' political playbooks in these last two years, because Democrats nationwide and especially right here in New Hampshire are once again claiming that Republicans are at odds with women.
No one can blame Democrats for trying to repeat past success. But here's the problem - 2014 is not 2012. Democrats have broken their promises time and time again, and this year Granite State residents are ready to make a change and vote Republicans into office.
One stark contrast between 2012 and 2014? Obamacare. In 2012, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was still promising New Hampshire residents that if they liked their doctor, they could keep their doctor. But in 2014, we know that's not the case. Obamacare is now a disastrous reality for the Granite State, due largely to Shaheen's deciding vote for the law.
Because of Shaheen, many New Hampshire residents have lost access to their family doctor, the person who they have trusted to take care of their family for years. Because of Shaheen, many New Hampshire residents have seen their hours reduced at work because their employer can no longer afford to keep them on staff full time due to the regulations required of employers by Obamacare. Because of Shaheen, 22,000 Granite State families have received health insurance cancellation letters because their plans no longer fit the requirements of Obamacare, and their employers can no longer afford to provide the kind of insurance plans that meet Obamacare mandates. Plans that in many cases have coverage requirements that many people simply don't need or want.
Shaheen alone is not responsible for the failures and burdens of Obamacare. While she was the deciding vote for the legislation in 2009, her colleagues in the House of Representatives, Congresswomen Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster also share the blame. We all want affordable, accessible health care coverage, but New Hampshire families simply cannot afford the cost of this failed policy and Reps. Shea-Porter and Kuster have turned a deaf ear to the people they are supposed to represent, refusing to even hold town halls to answer the questions of families who have lost their coverage altogether.
Granite State families are, unfortunately, facing many economic difficulties today in addition to the burdensome cost of Obamacare. Economic stagnation leaves us with 38,000 unemployed neighbors, a gallon of milk at $3.65, gas at over $3.50 a gallon and the only answer offered by our governor is more government spending, which always leads to the same outcome: higher taxes for all.
Recently Gov. Maggie Hassan led the charge in passing an increase in the gas tax and will sign it into law. This law means one thing for all of us - less money in our pockets.
Under the leadership of Hassan our state's Rainy Day Fund has dwindled to perilously low levels and our credit rating has been lowered from "stable" to "negative." The answer is not more taxes and more spending, it is reduced government spending, tax cuts, balanced budgets and sensible contributions to our Rainy Day Fund.
In a country where women start more small businesses than men, and women make the majority of consumer purchase decisions and the majority of health care decisions for their families, it is hard to make the argument that a party that fights for limited, efficient government, lower taxes and free- market health insurance reform is somehow against women. These are the principles that, when translated into policy, lift up the entire community and protect the America of unlimited opportunity that we all hold so dear.
It's easy to understand how and why New Hampshire Democrats are pursing this narrative - many of the elected officials we are working to replace this year are indeed women. But here's the truth: We are fighting to elect Republicans to office who will bring about real change that will make the lives to New Hampshire residents better. That Shaheen, Shea-Porter, Kuster and Hassan are women is a non sequitur. They could just as easily be men - our argument would be the same. They aren't working for New Hampshire, and it's time for them to go.
Help us keep dishonest Democrats accountable this Election Year - become a grassroots giver or volunteer for victory today!

1st time cruisers loved the Ruby Princess: Ruby Princess Cruise Review by Godraeb4
Overall Member Rating
1st time cruisers loved the Ruby Princess
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The ship: Gorgeous! The Piazza was beautiful,the theater was fantastic, etc. I thought the room decor was a little dull, but I supposed it needs to be easy to clean. I loved the Explorer Lounge. That was my fav place to hang out and watch a show. I love the coziness of it. Movies under the Stars was fun! Lots of great movies. I really liked the Wake Show in the morning. It was very imformative for us newbies!
Food: We ate at the buffets a lot and those were always good. They made everyone use sanitizer before More entering and that must have helped because I didn't hear of anyone getting sick. Michelangelo restaurant was yummy!
Service: FANTASTIC!!!! Our room steward, Lombardo, was always around, knew our names after the 1st day, and always waved & said "Hi" even if he was way down the hall. He even offered to get me an ice pack for an ankle injury. Loved him! The whole staff in the buffet areas were amazing!!! We got to know them pretty well & they were always happy to see us and we were happy to see them too. Elizabeth in the Explorer's Lounge was one of our favs. Such an amazing attitude! The staff works long, hard hours for us & it didn't go unnoticed! Cruise Directors Sam & Toby were the best!!!! They were everywhere! Always friendly, funny, and happy! Do they ever sleep?????
Ports: We loved them all! The weather was great, it was fun to talk to the locals, & we like seeing so many new places! The time goes so fast that we didn't get to do everything we wanted to, but we'll just have to go back!
Entertainment: Where do they find these talented people? The singers & dancers are crazy good!! The comedians were fun & the magician was great too! I really liked the unique "street" performers in the Piazza--balancing duo, the bartenders, steel drum players.
Disembarking: Easy & no problem! Less
