'75 2002 DD Project - Non e46 Content
For the past couple of years I've been working towards/dreaming about picking up a 2002 to call my own, and a couple of weeks ago I finally pulled the trigger. I went up to Detroit and amidst a strong fuel/exhaust smell she managed to tackle the 4 hour drive back to Springfield (Ohio) without a fuss so I can't complain. Anyway, without further ado here she is:
The engine runs pretty strong, not that I have much to compare it to.
Once I got it home and really started looking it over, I found out that she has a few nice surprises and a few not so nice surprises. But that's all to be expected I suppose.
First, a 32/36 w/ manual choke:
Next, a Tii Mechanical Advance Dizzy:
Then I forgot to take a picture, but a full Ansa Sport Midsection and Muffler, which is pretty freaking loud @4000 rpm cruising down the highway lol. I think there's also a leak somewhere though, so that's definitely not helping anything.
The interior also came with a 3 gauge pod with oil pressure, voltage and an old school vdo clock (that still keeps time!) as well as a very old tape deck lol.
Now some of the not as nice things:
Driver side rocker panel
Driver Side Floor with carpet and sound deadening removed:
Oil leak from somewhere around the oil filter housing / intake manifold / head gasket.
So the plan is to fix the rusty area's and get the interior back to being sealed from the exterior. I've got some plans to help stiffen her up where it counts that shouldn't add to much weight either. In the end it won't be a show car by any means, more just a car meant to be driven. I've already started some of the rocker work so I'll post up more pictures soon.
sweet! are you just gonna remove the entire floor board section and weld a new piece in there? good luck w it
nice find! my indy here has a few of them, including 3 tii's but wont let any of them go :(
Nice find! I've got such a soft spot for 2002s.
my dad used to own a tii, i LOVED that thing so much. Cried when it was gone :(
Nice buy, despite the rust. Fun car
:drool: Sweet Pick up Op Good Luck with your Build! :thumbsup:
Soo I dove into the driver side rocker panel. As you could see from the picture I posted earlier it was completely filled with expanded foam. It did a decent job of protecting the inside rockers from rust, but it was a ***** to get out. Luckily a wire brush on a drill seemed to do the trick.
This is NOT what I consider a fun foam party...
You can see in this picture that the inner panels are still fairly solid around the top, so that's good news.
The worst rot in the rocker was towards the front just infront of the drivers seat mounts. This was covered with some silicon seam sealer type stuff, but I poked it out with a screwdriver. I'll have to mock up some replacement pieces and weld them in to fix it.
That's when I decided to call it a night. But not before I checked out some of the different options I had for reinforcing the rockers. I tried out some 2x3 rectangular tubing as well as 2.5 x 2.5 square but neither would clear the up front, so I settled on using 2x2 square. It'll give it way more strength than it had before, and a place to tie in a roll cage when the time comes.
The next step was to cut the tubing to the correct length to run inside the rocker panel and then notch it so it would clear the seatbelt mounting points that reached into the rocker. In order to notch the tube, I used the ever trusty Plasma torch. For those that don't know, this can cut through 3/4" steel like butter, so it made very short work of my ~0.125" wall tubing.
The Beast:
But of course I forgot the take a picture of the tube after notching. However you can see how nice and flush it sits up in the rocker panel now.
I can also use the tubing to create some e46-like jack points in the rockers. Which will be very nice considering the stock jack points weren't strong enough to support the car anymore :eek:.
Once the tubing was in there I tacked it in place and started tying it into the inner and upper rocker panels. I'll also weld along the inner bottom and outer top edges so that it spreads out the load and doesn't focus it on a small section of sheet metal (think e46 rear subframe lol).
One tie-in point before cleaning up the welds:
I still need to finish welding along it's whole length, but the tubing is in there now. I'm also thinking about tying it in directly to the front frame rail and the rear subframe mounts just for piece of mind. I'm not sure how much I trust the old mounting points.
R u missing a pedal? did they have slushboxes back in the 70's? :confused:
They did have them, but this is a manual. The gas pedal was removed for that photo because there's a small pin hole of rust behind it.
omg more <3 from me!!
So I haven't been able to get much done with her in the past two weeks, work has been pretty crazy and I had to help my friend move etc etc. The good news is that I've been able to keep my whole labor day weekend free and the g/f will be out of town so I'll have all the time in world to really get some of the body repair done. I'm hoping to get both rockers fully repaired and then get some por-15 in there before I weld on the new outer skins. I'm also hoping to get at least the driver side floor patched up. Then all that would be left would be left to repair would be the passenger front floorboard and I can start putting the interior back together.
But just because I haven't had time to work on her doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of her. Considering the condition that the stock (read original) seats were in I was keeping my eye out for some replacement. The this past weekend I found two Recaro's from the e21 320is down in cinci for a good price.
I'll probably end up recovering them in black vinyl and alcantara or something along those lines down the road, but for now they're still light years ahead of what was in there to begin with. I'm just glad I won't have to pick off pieces of foam from my back every time I get out of the car.
Then since the front seats were getting replaced I figured I should do something with the rear as well. The stock rear bench had a couple of gashes as well as zero foam left. So a quick search on bimmerforums turned up a 6 series being parted out just north of me. That scored me these beauties:
These also included my personal favorite feature:
The fold down middle arm rest!
Just for comparison this is what the normal 2002 seats look like (not the ones from my car though):
Both the front and rears feel great. They really hold you in place. They're also incredibly light, but I'm used to the e46 M3 seats so that's not really saying much.
I was also able to get a really good deal on a complete set of beltline trim (the po shaved it off the car before I got it). The best part is non of the pieces are dented or dinged up. After some polishing they should look really good.
All in all she should be starting to come back together very soon, and then I get get out and driver her again, I can't wait!
:clap: subscribed.
Subscribed! :excited:
i love u.
sooooo h0mo hehe

good luck. helluva lot of work.

Prisoners have way to say 'sorry' with Pa. program
WASHINGTON — With little fanfare last year, Pennsylvania's Office of Victim Advocate began a program with the state Department of Corrections and recently renamed the endeavor the Inmate Apology Bank.
The voluntary program provides an avenue by which crime victims can receive an apology from their offender without having direct contact.
Between April 2012 and August of this year, 537 inmates have submitted apologies to the clearinghouse, and 96 crime victims have registered with the program.
The apology bank received one letter from an inmate from Washington County, and, as of recently, none from anyone from Greene County, according to the Office of Victim Advocate in Harrisburg.
"By registering, the victims are expressing interest in receiving a letter if one is submitted by the offender. Twenty-six registered victims have received an apology letter," Corrections Secretary John Wetzel said in a news release.
"I had never heard of that," Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone said of the letter-writing program.
"Sometimes defendants express remorse in court."
The program has been operating pretty much under the radar, so Vittone is not alone.
"We've never publicized until now, unless you were personally getting information from us or stumbled across it on our website," said Carol Lavery, commonwealth victim advocate, who also is responsible for representing the rights and interests of crime victims before the Board of Probation and Parole.
Judges normally order as part of a sentence that defendants have no contact with the victims of their crime, so the letter clearinghouse allows them to comply with the court's intent because it does not involve direct contact.
Prison officials, along with employees of the Office of Victim Advocate, inform inmates about the program and how to go about writing their letters.
Inmates may write to the program, where victim-advocate staff members screen the letters for appropriateness and then file them until a registered crime victim indicates that he or she is interested in receiving letters from the offender.
The correspondence is one way, from the inmate to the crime victim.
When an inmate takes time to consider the actions that led to his or her incarceration and puts those thoughts into words, those who work on behalf of crime victims hope the process plays a role in the inmate's rehabilitation and is a step to accountability.
According to the Office of Victim Advocate website, "The only benefit an apology letter would have for an inmate would be personal growth and insight.
"Writing an apology letter does not affect his or her conditions of incarceration, nor will it shorten their sentence or affect their release date."
From a crime victim's standpoint, the letters can provide answers to questions not addressed at the trial or sentencing.
"Not every victim wants to receive a letter. For some victims it is upsetting to dredge up the memories of the crime," Lavery said.
"The letters are carefully screened by Office of Victim Advocate staff to ensure the inmate is not engaging in blaming the victim or any other inappropriate type of context."
Throughout the process — whether they receive letters or not — crime victims are counseled by OVA staff.
Crime victims interested in this program can learn more by visiting the Office of Victim Advocate website at www.ova.state.pa.us, click on "DOC Inmates," and then on "Inmate Apology Bank," or by calling (800) 322-4472.

M/Fers: now they stole my 4 wheeler
i had a thread a couple of days ago about someone stealing my motor cycle. well i guess the basturds came back and stole my 4 wheeler last night out of my backyard.
we have a big barn type gate with wood fence sections over it so you can't really tell that it is a gate, in our back yard so we can put cars and such back there. well the basturds came in our side gate and then opened up the big gate and took one of our 4 wheelers last night. didn't even wait a couple of days from when they stole our dirt bike.
i was pissed before but now i'm in kill mode.
we now only have one 4 wheeler left, and i'm thinking about setting them up for the kill.
these basturds have to be the bravest basturds in the world to come over to my house at night and steel *****.
i'm going to leave everything unlocked and wait with my mini 14 in hand and kill those basturds if they have the balls to come back.
if anyone in the mesquite, or dallas (texas) area sees an add in the paper for a 1976 suzuki RM 250 (yellow) mint cond dirt bike or a 1986 (i think) honda 125 4 wheeler, please inform me and i will do something big for you. i'm not rich, but you will be happy if you help.
sorry basturds; i will kill them without any remorse in doing so.
i'm thinking i will cut off their fingers one by one and then maybe their...
i know i sound sick, but i don't stand for ***** like this and texas says i don't have to ether.
i wonder what the less obvious way i can trap them is.
anyone have any suggestions?
they might be the bravest but damn, i would have had that stuff secured after that. i hope you get them though and thump em a few times with the old louisville slugger for me. i think i would be layin low on the rooftop for the next few nights.
remove the battery from your remaining 4 wheeler, wire em to the frame, wait for the startling "ow *****" thats sure to follow, and unload on their sorry as$es.....
note, a 12 volt car battery is a little more shocking..... or hell just wire it to some 110v........
I've got a hell of an idea. See if you can rent one of those trick EPIRB (emergency position indicating radio beacon) devices and a tracking device for a few weeks. Make sure the batteries are real good, turn it on, then hid the damn thing on one of your rigs real good and park it somewhere easy to spot. When they hit again, follow the signal. You'll probably find the rest of your stuff in some chop shop somewhere. If this is the case, they will go to jail for a while for sure. That is, if they live to tell about it.
Don't do anything I wouldn't do..
Not brave they know you.
Hey akm don't get your self in trouble. They are not brave they know your routine. Hate to say, it do you have kids. Look at their friends. This hurts you can email me. Been there. email@example.com

we live in a good neighborhood thats why our stuff wasn't locked up. never had anything happen like this in the 13 years we have lived here.
i have my window cracked on the second story over looking the back yard, so if i hear anything i can just open the window and kill the bastuards.
i am out of 223 bullets so i have my quick pump ithika shot gun on hand to take care of them.
i have been thinking real hard all day, and i just came up with a damn good idea.
we have a motion sencer back porch light, and i'm thinking i will pull the light bulb, screw in one of those outlet plugs in where the bulb goes, and plug in some sort of siren. so when something moves the siren will go off and boom-- x=8 ---- SPLAT-- SPLAT!!
i got me a couple of dead M/Fers.
what do you think?
thats really too bad dude, it sucks to have something you worked hard to get, stolen.are you allowed to shoot intruders in texas .?..cool. here in canada , if someone breaks into your home and gets hurt on something that shouldnt be (bad step etc.)they can sue you. the local police might ask how the intruder got those lumps on their heads, but they dont investigate.
skin the casing off a wire on a lamp and run a lead to something stealable. you wont need a buzzer cause you wont hear it over the yelling. mike
The world is a changed place. For the last 10 or 15 years we've had to lock everything up. My advice...get a dog, motion lights, insurance and lock stuff up. Why make it easy to let them have stuff? Deterrant is the key, taking shots at somebody will only bring more trouble. You never know who your'e messing with.
If anyone took a shot at my kids, even if they were doing something stupid....God help him.
akm - a word to the wise. If you think getting ripped off changed your life, try shooting somebody. I know somebody personally, that capped sombody for better reasons then yours, and he did four years in the pen. There isn't a motorcycle or scumbag thief that's worth doing that much time for.
There are better ways to deal with these bums....
So help me god that if I ever found anyone breaking into or stealing my stuff...
Here is what I would do if I ever caught them in the act:
drag them to the garage and zip-tie them to a chair.
I would then get a pair of needlenosed vise grips and start pulling out finger nails one at a time,then toe nails,then teeth.
I would give them the option before I start though, they can feel free to call the police to turn theirself in at any time they please.
I they would happen to last through all of the nail/teeth extraction, then would come the 'cardboard' papercuts between each finger,toe,and lips.
After that I would drag them out to the driveway and go to bed...of course they would have to free themselves from the chair
AKM, I know your pain. I spent three Fri nights in the Blackjacks with my trusty Auto Five filled with bird shot waiting for some thieves that had stolen lots of fishing gear from my bass boat that was parked inside a 6 ft chain link fence with locked gates. Fortunately for me and them, they never returned!! I have since revised my plans. The gun will be to apprehend the culprit(s) or for self defense if they get totally stupid. Duct tape and and old rug or canvass will be used to secure them while I extract name, address, phone number, color and make of vehicle and where it is parked, and name of parents, if they are punks. The parent's info will be verified with a phone call. Since you are in the Dallas area, I'm sure you have a PU, so toss the Punks in the back and take them way out into West Texas. Then tell them you know who they are, where they live and you will burn them out if you ever see or hear from them again. Then reinforce your words with a base ball bat with discretion until you tire and remove the rug/canvas and duct tape. If they survive the rest of the night among the Rattle Snakes, Scorpions , Tarantulas and until some rancher or oil field worker finds them, you probably will not be bothered again. When you get back, find their vehicle vandalize it to the worth of your bike and 4 wheeler including 4 sliced tires and a disabled motor. Now you can sleep in peace.
AKM, get a dog. i have a wussy yellow lab, whats the expression, barks bigger than his bite, there are kids/people who won't walk down the street when he's out, and we have friends who wont come in when he's inside.......
and i havent lost anything from my detached garage. yet.....
knock on wood.......
i like the finger nail idea but i can be a sick SOB. i would curtainly make sure they would never be able to have sex again (snip-snip).
i also like the idea of taking them way out west and leaving them, but i would probably leave them with a 44 cal hole in each ***** cheek.
as for taking it out on their car. the value of the both were not all that much but as i have said before, i am not a rich guy, but the time spent rebuilding the dirt bike and having to go without money so we could buy parts, would be enough to take it to the crusher.
we had only had the 4 wheeler for 5 days and started the fix up on it when it was stolen. so we are steel living without the money for that.
for anyone that likes to steal; please come over to my house right now and try to take something. i have the taste of blood on my lips.
hell i'll even give you my address.
paint remover and a paint brush on a few delicate areas, a long walk back from an isolated area, a few pics posted on public areas to advertise the thief. Who, me? prove it.

If you require a dental crown to be placed, it is a good idea to talk to your cosmetic dentist about how you feel about the color of your existing teeth before beginning the process. If you like the color of your teeth, your cosmetic dentist will then find a color that matches the crowns.
On the other hand, teeth bleaching may be an option for you. If you feel you would like to whiten or lighten your teeth, it is a good idea to communicate this to your cosmetic dentist beforehand. Once the final restorations are made, it will not be possible to change their color without redoing them.
If you desire whiter teeth before the cosmetic crowns are placed, the best way to achieve this is to talk to your cosmetic dentist about at-home teeth bleaching. With this procedure, custom-fitted plastic trays will be made for your teeth and you will be given some small tubes of teeth bleaching material.
Your cosmetic dentist will show you how to place a small amount of teeth bleaching material in the tray and then place the tray in your mouth. If any excess material squirts out of the tray onto your gums, you will want to remove it with your finger or a toothbrush.
The tray is then worn for one to two hours in the evening, depending on the type of teeth bleaching material. The biggest advantage of this method of teeth bleaching as compared with procedures that are done in your cosmetic dentist's office is that you are the one that can control how white you want your teeth to be.
Since you are the one in control, you can stop the teeth bleaching whenever you feel you have achieved the desired color. The typical teeth bleaching time is one and one-half to two weeks, but it may be longer.
You may experience that your teeth become sensitive to cold air or liquids during the teeth bleaching process. This is normal and will subside and finally go away when you stop the teeth bleaching.
There are a couple of things you can do to decrease this sensitivity if it arises during the teeth bleaching process. One is to only bleach every other night. By taking a break after each night of teeth bleaching, your teeth will not be as sensitive.
The other is to have your cosmetic dentist prescribe you a fluoride gel that you can place in your custom teeth bleaching trays every other evening. The fluoride acts to decrease the sensitivity by coating or sealing the tooth surface and it will not affect the color of your teeth. This is the most reliable way to decrease sensitivity while you bleach.
Once you get your teeth to the desired color , your cosmetic dentist will have you wait about three to four weeks before taking a color match of your teeth in order to make the final restoration. During this time, the color of your teeth is stabilizing.
Teeth bleaching is very predictable, but the results will not last forever. Since the restorations were placed when your teeth were at their whitest, you will most likely find that in one and one-half to two years, the restorations may begin to appear lighter than your natural teeth.
This result is to be expected. It is not caused by a change in color of the restorations, but rather by your own teeth getting darker. At this point, all that is required is to, once again, bleach your natural teeth until the color is evened out. Usually, this only requires teeth bleaching a couple of times.
After the color is evened out, you can then expect to have the color stability last for another one and one-half to two years. On the other hand, if no restorations were placed by your cosmetic dentist after your teeth bleaching, you will most likely not notice the teeth changing color because there is no reference to help judge this change.
By Greggory Kinzer, DDS, MSD
People of a certain age sometimes find themselves in need of dental care involving dental crowns instead of a filling, or dental bridges to replace missing teeth. Understandably, in light of the present economy, many patients think first of the expense. But the fact remains that postponed care costs more in the long run, both financially and physically.
In the case of broken teeth, extensive decay or an old filling, a crown is intended to hold the remaining tooth structure together. After a root canal, enamel becomes especially brittle - another candidate for a crown.
A badly damaged tooth, left untreated, causes changes in the mouth that disrupt how the teeth work, chewing patterns, and jaw function. Normal eating habits may be inhibited. Tenderness forces the bite away from one side of the mouth and exerts undue pressure elsewhere. Why not just extract this troublesome tooth?
A missing tooth eventually spells oral disaster, meaning permanent changes to your bite. Because the mouth is dynamic, teeth on either side of an empty space will shift. The teeth next to them move, too. With all this movement, periodontal disease could invade soft tissues. Jaw misalignment, and the pain that goes with it, is likely. So tooth restoration to bolster neighboring teeth and keep the "architecture" of the mouth in good shape is the best course of treatment.
After fillings, crown and bridge work is our first line of defense against oral deterioration. This kind of dentistry brings a lot of satisfaction to both patient and dentist. A transformation happens. With the mouth functioning again, people feel better about themselves.
So call your cosmetic dentist today to find out how you can restore your mouth to total dental health. You'll look and feel better.

Now that winter's over, it's easy to forget that salter/sander while your attention turns to mowers, skidsteers, and other warm-weather tools.
But try not to. Give that winter-weather hero a bit of TLC.
1) Read the owner's manual. With all the spreader configurations on the market, you can't afford to take a cookie-cutter approach to maintenance.
Spreaders can be made of steel, stainless steel, or polyethylene; they can be gas-, hydraulic-, and/or electric-powered; and their material delivery systems can be gravity-fed, auger-fed or conveyor-fed with and without chains and pulleys. Each has a unique variation that requires a different maintenance plan.
The manual of any manufacturer worth its salt (no pun intended) includes a section addressing all suggested procedures. This includes more than just basic bullet points, but specific details such as proper belt and chain tension settings and identifying common grease points. If the spreader is engine-powered, there should be a separate manual from the engine manufacturer that includes maintenance details.
Manufacturers spend hours assembling this information with one purpose in mind: to keep spreaders working in prime condition from one season to the next so customers keep praising their equipment. So break open that spreader manual and reference the wealth of material within.
2) Clean the hopper and touch up damage. A good cleaning reveals worn or damaged components that require repair or replacement.
This step is most important with metal hoppers to prevent residual salt from corroding the surface and leading to rust. (In fact, metal hoppers should be cleaned after each use.)
But even corrosion-free polyethylene should be thoroughly cleaned to remove caked-on salt and reveal damaged components. Don't use abrasive or alkaline-based cleaners such as those containing acetone, benzene, leaded gasoline, or brake cleaner. These chemicals compromise the hopper's structural integrity by damaging the polyethylene.
For the most part, water's all you need. Simply prop the spreader on its side and hose it out, allowing the water to naturally flow from the hopper and carry away any dust, dirt, and de-icing material.
Once the spreader's clean, touch up areas where paint or some other finish has been scratched or chipped off to expose the metal below. This will minimize rust and corrosion.
3) Grease all necessary components. All spreaders have moving parts and connectors that need to stay limber and receptive.
For any electric-powered spreaders or those with electric connections for components, such as lights, all terminals should be applied with a coat of dielectric grease. In fact, because this activity prevents corrosion and ensures easy reconnection, grease the terminals any time they're disconnected.
Lubricate moving parts such as bearings, chains, conveyors, rollers, and augers with a good-quality multipurpose grease or oil. The same goes for any integrated grease fittings.
Once again, though, this step varies based on the type of spreader being maintained.
Some models, such as those that are conveyor-fed, require more lubrication because they have more moving parts. On the other hand, some auger-fed models don't have chains, pulleys, conveyors, etc., and therefore only require a couple of areas to be greased to facilitate articulation. Refer to the owner's manual to identify lubrication points and appropriate amounts.
4) Adjust belt, chain, and/or conveyor tension. And not just at the end of the season, but throughout the year to reduce slippage and performance problems.
How, and to what degree, to adjust tension is unique to each spreader - again, refer to the owner's manual before attempting any modifications - but some points are universal.
Be careful not to over-tighten because this could lead to damaging the motor or gearbox bearing. Before making an adjustment, make sure there's no de-icing material or sand trapped or frozen between the conveyor belt and the surface below.
5) Clean the engine and/or change hydraulic fluid of units powered by engines or hydraulics.
Spray the engine with water to remove residual salt and protect metal components from corrosion. Next, drain the fuel tank or provide an additive to keep gas fresh during storage. Beyond these simple steps, conduct other maintenance procedures and service intervals - i.e., changing the oil and air filter, inspecting and cleaning spark plugs - based on the manufacturer's recommendations.
Replace used hydraulic fluid with new fluid of the proper type and viscosity as recommended by the pump manufacturer. Then check the hoses and fittings for possible damage or leaks and repair/replace as necessary. Finally, cap hydraulic connectors to prevent system contamination during storage.
6) Put it to bed. Cleaned, touched up, lubricated, and adjusted, the spreader is ready for storage. But even this step comes with manufacturer suggestions.
First, pick a location that's dry and protected from the elements. This is particularly important for steel-hopper spreaders because moisture leads to corrosion and rust. Otherwise, keep the unit out of the sun as much as possible to reduce paint fading - even those made of high-density, UV-stabilized polyethylene hoppers.
Tip V-box-style spreaders up on one end, preferably against a wall or solid structure so it can be secured with straps or bungee cables. This frees up space for other equipment and reduces the chance of service vehicles running into and damaging the unit.
Some spreaders have a removable spinner assembly to provide access to the vehicle's trailer hitch during maintenance. But a secondary benefit is the ability to remove and store this more sensitive component in a protected location.
Spreader maintenance is far from sophisticated, so it isn't always a fleet manager's top concern. But it's important to remember that a good spreader is no small investment, and proper care now will lead to years of use. PW

Southern cuisine varies greatly by region, from the Cajun and creole dishes of Louisiana to the bags of granulated sugar served at Disney World. Sample the South with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $10 for $20 worth of Cajun-style seafood cuisine
- $20 for $40 worth of Cajun-style seafood cuisine
- $30 for $60 worth of Cajun-style seafood cuisine
Signature tacos filled with fried or grilled catfish, cabbage, pico de gallo, cheese and baja sauce ($5). Among a variety of meals valued at $6.50 is andouille sausage served with red beans, rice, and bread or hush puppies. See the full menu.
Fish Place
The saying "writing on the wall" typically refers to bad omens, but at Fish Place, it takes on a positive, and literal, connotation. Words such as "salad," "gumbo," and "shrimp" appear all over the wallpaper, foreshadowing the Cajun-style cuisine to come.
In addition to stirring up signature seafood gumbo, Fish Place's chefs fill baskets with cooked-to-order crawfish, catfish, oysters, and shrimp. The chefs accompany their fried or blackened entrees with hushpuppies, french bread, or red beans and rice, rather than the traditional seafood side, sand. Tacos and po' boys round out the menu.

Don King Signs Vernon Paris
Report and photo by Bob Ryder
Don King and Vernon Paris' long time adviser Carlos Llinas have announced that Detroit's "Iceman" has signed a promotional deal with the DKP. In an exclusive phone call to fightnews.com, Paris wasted no time expressing his excitement with the arrangement and his desire to take on the best in the 140 pound division without further delay.
"I'm so excited I can barely talk" exclaimed Paris. "I am ready to take on anyone at 140 and soon 147 as well and Don is going to make it happen for me. There is no one in those divisions that I can't beat." Paris was calling out everyone at the top of those weight classes but seemed to have special interest in two of the champs, Amir Khan and Timothy Bradley. "Khan's running from me, moving to 147" challenged the undefeated Paris. "I have a personal shout out to Timothy Bradley as well. I will knock him out. We talked and were all friendly down at Kronk (when Bradley did some training at the gym in preparation for Devon Alexander) but this is business and I picked up some things I can use to beat either him or Alexander right now!"
King proclaimed that Paris will be boxing's next superstar and also was ready to have his new charge take everyone on. "We can make it a Battle Royal, Vernon will beat them all!" Don also had a message for folks in Detroit. With the city's unemployment at high levels and jobs on everyone's agenda, King expressed plans to revitalize hope and progress through his fighter. "We are coming to Detroit to fight for the people. Vernon Paris can raise awareness of what is going on in the Motor City and help to get his city going again. It's all about jobs, jobs, jobs."
Of course no discussion about fights at 140 or 147 pounds can exclude Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. Carlos Llinas proclaimed that the Grand Rapids native has to step aside as the top dog from the state of Michigan. "Vernon Paris is the best from the state and we would be happy to prove it by fighting Floyd right now". Paris elaborated further by comparing his chances based on Floyd's showing against Victor Ortiz. "Everyone knew going on that Floyd would beat Ortiz. I'm at a different level than Ortiz with my speed and movement and I'm ready to show it to the world."
With King, Paris,and Llinas calling anyone and everyone out there was no clear indication who specifically would be Vernon's next opponent. With this new arrangement however, Paris should soon get his opportunity to back up his talk with in ring action against some of the games best.

Kate Hudson: My collection is clean
Kate Hudson has revealed her favourite pieces from her new fashion line for Ann Taylor.
The actress recently co-designed a capsule collection for American design house Ann Taylor.
Kate signed on to be the face of the brand in spring 2012 and her first collection was designed with Lisa Axelson, Ann Taylor's creative director.
"It's compact and has all the pieces you need for a wardrobe," Kate told WWD. "It's all clean and white and flowy and flirty with rose-gold accents, and I thought that was so right on, as far as my aesthetic. I'll definitely go deeper into fashion at some point."
Kate makes no bones about her love for fashion. But the star says it was Lisa who helped to translate her iconic style into the new collection.
"I could spend hours looking at sketches and feeling materials. But I like how Lisa interpreted my style for this collection," Kate said.
Kate recently attended the Breast Cancer Research Foundation's annual lunch at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel, where she presented Kay Krill, Ann Inc. president and CEO, with the Sandra Taub Humanitarian Award. Kate said that Kay is one of her "mentors".
"I've had a lot of mentors in my life, but I have to say Kay and how she structured her company and her focuses not only on the brand but on philanthropic causes is truly admirable," said Kate, who wore a long-sleeve black jersey Ann Taylor dress to the event.
Kate's new line hits stores from May 20.

Author Discusses His New Book: The Black History of the White House
Protection of the institution of slavery was the price the South demanded for joining the United States in the revolt against Britain, and the North was also "absolutely invested in the slave system," says Dr. Clarence Lusane. Dr. Lusane's new book, from City Lights Publishers, details George Washington's desperate efforts to gain the return of his prized personal slaves who successfully fled the presidential residence in Philadelphia.
During the Civil War, for the first time, Frederick Douglass and others negotiated with an American president on the political status and fate of Blacks. Yet, four decades later, Booker T. Washington's sit-down dinner with President Teddy Roosevelt resulted in such an explosion of racist anger, the next day Roosevelt formally named the presidential mansion the "White House" in order to mollify white opinion.
During FDR's term, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt largely eliminated segregation at the White House by firing all of the white household staff and keeping the Blacks. In the early Sixties, the political tradition of regularly hosting delegations of Blacks at the White House was established. With President Obama's family ensconced in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the Black image has been enhanced. However, "in many ways there has been less of an ability to address issues of race" under Obama, "as Black working and poor people are erased out of public policy discussion," says Dr. Lusane.
Black Agenda Radio on the Progressive Radio Network is hosted by Glen Ford and Nellie Bailey. A new edition of the program airs every Monday at 4:00pm ET on PRN. Length: One hour.

We at AZ Precision are just starting out with Cerakote. We chose to invest the money required to apply Cerakote so that we can be using the best coating possible for our bolt knob installs.
There's lots of discussion on Cerakote application.
Here's some things we have learned.
1) The most common problem is applying it too thick. To solve this, PRACTICE. Learn to adjust your HVLP spray gun so that you can hold it just inches from your work piece, and get an even full coat in one pass without runs. This is much easier said than done!
2) Over spray is a common mistake and is caused by holding the gun too far from your work piece. The Cerakote begins to dry before hitting the work piece and does not spread with the rest of the Cerakote. It leaves what looks like a powder coat finish. This is bad if you get this result. You can sometimes rub 600 grit over it to remove this, but it's better to do it right first time around.
3) Filter! Have ALL recommended filters on your air line to remove all the moisture and contaminants, and filter the Cerakote before filling the HVLP spray gun. The gun will also have a filter in it but do not rely on this alone.
4) Cleaning. The work piece should be degreased before and after sand blasting. I use Iso Alcohol because it leaves no residue.
5) Bake your work piece at 200 degrees for 30 minutes or so to dry it completely. Allow to cool before spraying.
6) The thickness of Cerakote should be .001". When doing bolt bodies it extremely important to not over coat the bolt. If this is done it wont even fit back int he receiver. To help guarantee your work, measure everything with a pair of mics.
If a sand blasted bolt is .700". The diamater after coating should be no more than .702"
Here's an example:
Here the Mic. shows the thickness of the bolt with the Cerakote. The thickness is about .0013". This is .0003" over preferred thickness.
Receiver raceways have a few thou of slop between the bolt and the receiver. But there's less than that sometimes and coating thickness is of the utmost importance.
Anyone looking to get into Cerakote, or who has just recently started. My best advice to you is ask professionals for as much advice as possible, and buy or find scrap metal to sandblast and spray for practice. Practice Practice Practice. Practice on work that is measurable and easy to work with. Don't make it harder than it already is.
Hope this was interesting or helpful to someone.

+1 on the great write up. I attended Lauer Weaponary DuraCoat certification program, I practiced on old steel scraps, tools anything I could get my hands on. DESPITE all this, I messed up my first 'real' project. I refinished an old G27. I laid the Duracoat too thick and couldn't get the barrel to slide properly! Wow, that seems so long ago. Where were ya' with this great write up a few years ago? :lol: So, take the free advise folks this was a great write-up!!!!!!

*I love my VTR, couldn't ask more from a hunting rifle*
Thank you for the kind words. It's no great write up though. Just some basic facts.
We're still learning a lot. We just started a couple months ago.
We are using the C-series Cerakote. The H-series two part is slightly different in the mixing and curing process but the application is about the same.
It's easy to forget steps that matter a lot. Every time before I spray a work piece I review either in my head or on paper things to look out for and remember. I spray some practice passes on scrap metal and a large piece of cardboard we have set up for practicing.
Every time you clean the gun you have to re-adjust the dials/setting on it. Different colors require differences too!
Again, this depends on whether your spraying H, or C series Cerakote.

Thanks AZPrecision, great write-up.
I was noding my head when you said how you go through the process mentally before starting, there is a lot to consider when doing it right.
I am coppying your words to pin up in my spray booth ....
I just finished my first Duracoat project, that was a real eye opener. Thought to myself, how hard can it be, just paint. Thickness is a real issue. This was on my "test" rifle, a Henry lever action 22lr, so the specs are pretty loose. I'll finish up the "second test" rifle, a 22mag, but will send everything else to the pro's! ops:
My advice is to start with Kalashnikov first - you may actually improve his specs if something goes wrong... :wink:
Great tutorial - thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Best regards
Keith, what kind of oven do you use to bake after application? Can you post a pic of it?

Interesting thing about "Hot Stuff" is that it was one of the few songs that wasn't only disco, but could arguably be called hard rock as well. Sure it had that 4/4 thump, but you've got Keith Forsey slamming that back beat in the intro, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter with a lead guitar solo that's nearly heavy metal, and if you were lucky enough to have the 12" version (which I did), Gary Herbig's screeching sax solo was much more rock-oriented than disco. (For some reason the LP version edited this part out; I was annoyed when I finally saved up enough for the double-LP and found it wasn't there.)Shalomhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-83409557051169594512012-05-18T18:53:18.881-04:002012-05-18T18:53:18.881-04:00Wow, Dr.Grumpy, you can me me smile, laugh and cry...Wow, Dr.Grumpy, you can me me smile, laugh and cry in the same post and definitely on the same day with your posts.

Freshly and Lovingly Baked on : 20th July 2014
Luncheon Meat … its a meat that is yummy to the max for me. However, since I started to eat clean about 6 to 7 years ago, I have never wanted to touch that anymore. Anything processed or unhealthy is off my limits. I wanted to eat fresh and good organic food to feed this temple of mine. Its my body and its my responsibility to upkeep it.
Why luncheon meat buns today? Its not something that I would have bake it for my own consumption but I figured if its make someone happy, I can bake it for them. These cans of meats are delicacy to many. I am feeling the heat to sink my teeth into this as well but I am restraining really hard. In normal days, I would have make my own luncheon meat. But since this is given to me by colleague to make the bun for them, I shall use it instead. 😉
Starter dough
230g Bread Flour
130g Water
6g Milk Powder
2g Instant Yeast
3g Salt
Main dough
35g Unsalted Butter
105g Bread Flour
3g Salt
35g Sugar
25g Honey
25g Milk
42g Egg
1g Instant Yeast
5g Milk Powder
Additional ingredients:
Luncheon Meats
– I cubed it and give it a dry fry while waiting for my dough to proof.
Prepare the starter dough the day before by simply mixing all ingredients together and knead it till combined. Round up the dough and placed it in a fresh bowl, covered with cling wrap and then let it rest in the refrigerator for 17 hours.
How it looks like before refrigeration and after resting for 17 hours in the fridge.
The next day, mixed all ingredient except the butter together. Slowly add in the starter dough by tearing it piece by piece and kneading it in. Knead till everything till smooth before adding in the butter. Continue kneading till it passed the window pane test.
Let it proof for another 30 minutes. Once that is achieved, knead the dough to eliminate all air pockets. Divide it out into 7 doughs of 75G each. Let it rest for another 30 minutes. Then knead each dough to flatten it and wrap in the fried luncheon meat. Use the remaining dough to make the ears and nose. I used 1 g dough for the each ear and 3g dough for the nose. Let it proof for another 30 minutes. Give it an light milk wash and bake it in a preheated oven of 175 degree for 15 to 17 minutes.

Here is a great tip from my friend Josh, for peeling vegetables onto newspaper and then use as mulch in your vegetable garden. This also makes for easy clean up in the kitchen and the vegetable peelings make great compost.
Do not use the glossy color sections of your newspaper, for this project. When you place the newspaper in your vegetable garden, leave the paper folded the long way and overlap the edges as you place the layers on top of the soil.

Ocala Trauma Center Fights to Stay Open
OCALA- It's been over a year since the Ocala trauma center opened its doors. But they are still fighting to stay open since a competitor wants to shut it down. Recent radio and TV commercials are trying to sway resident's opinions. About three weeks ago a non-partisan senior advocacy group called "60 Plus Association" launched a quarter million dollar ad campaign.The commercials attack hospitals that are seeking to shut down several trauma centers across the sunshine state.
Legal challenges have been mounted since Ocala Regional's Level 2 Trauma Center opened in December 2012. UF Health Shands claimed the hospital did not go through the necessary steps to open the new center.
"On Christmas Eve they filed a motion, basically to shut down our trauma center. Since then we have been trying to gather support for our trauma center to provide care for our community," said Medical Director of Trauma Services at ORMC Dr. Darwin Ang.
Dr. Ang said he and his staff have treated about 2100 patients. Dr. David Guzick with UF Health Shands said they are taking legal action because the department of health has not granted them the approval to be heard.
"We are just saying we need to be heard to really present data on how we can improve the quality of care and reduce cost throughout the state of Florida," said Dr. Guzick who is the Senior Vice President for Health Affairs at UF Health Shands.
According to Dr. Guzick, Hospital Corporation of America, which owns Ocala trauma, increases the cost of patient care when creating more trauma centers.
"They are increasing the cost to all the citizens of Florida which we all pay as a hidden tax because we will pay for it in a form of increase of insurance premiums without improving the quality of care," said Dr. Guzick.
One resident thinks the battle comes down to business. Not quality care or cost.
"It all boils down to money is my thought on it," said Jim Mitchell.
UF Health Shands lost about 200 patients since Ocala trauma opened, but workers there say hundreds of lives have been saved because of the new center.
"Just in Marion County itself, time to treatment use to be 40 minutes and we've count that in half down to 20 minutes," said Dr. Ang.
If Ocala trauma center didn't exist, Marion County trauma patients would have to travel to Gainesville once again.
"I feel that patients are going to have to wait even longer and the chances of them dying and not getting proper treatment is greater," said resident Julio Manresa.
Last week the Department of Health held a session to discuss making changes to a rule on how Florida should approve new trauma centers. The rule may be revised as early as April first.

ARM Cortex A8 core on an Allwinner A10
*Cortex A8 core (ARMv7 architecture) on an Allwinner A10
Just be glad you aren't doing ARMv8 with its A32/A64 modes, eh?
I would love to see one of these with a DAC for the PFD and REF lines. That would make these boards completely awesome (if I get bored, I might try it myself c:)
So what are the voltage ratings on the various pins of this guy (VCC, SCL, SDA)?
One could almost say there was too much irony already in the post for them to show one in the picture
So looking at the datasheet, I see that there are 8 bits for red, green, and blue. Does this mean that you could hook up 3 8-bit ADCs to a component/vga signal and have it work?
Are you sure that this is in the SFE library because I just downloaded the most recent version and could not find it in there.
So does this auto-stop charging once the battery's full? If not, can someone link me to a schematic/part that does?
Hey anybody know what wavelength range this picks up?
No public wish lists :(

Jury Awards Alachua County Widow $17.5 Million In First Tobacco Case
Published March 12th, 2010
A decision has been made in Alachua County's first ever tobacco case.
The jury awarded Amanda Jean Hall $17.5 million in compensation for the smoking related death of her husband, Arthur Hall. Arthur Hall died in 1995.
The case is among about 8,000 filed in Florida by smokers or their families against tobacco companies. The individual cases were brought after the state Supreme Court in 2006 threw out a $145 billion class-action award for all Florida smokers.
Hall's attorney is Rod Smith, a former state senator who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2006.

I have posted a few articles here recently about the existence of shot quality, one of which related to last seasons Washington Capitals and one related to how shot quality varies according to game score but there are still shot quality deniers out there. One of the comments I received from a shot quality denier to those posts was as in depth as "You did it wrong" but offered no further explanation. So there it stands.
Derek Zona and Gabe Desjardins over at Behind the Net Hockey (mostly shot quality deniers) have put up a $150 prize for anyone who can show that shot quality exists. One method they suggested one could pursue to prove such a thing was the following:
Are there players or teams with the ability to drive or suppress on-ice shooting percentage? What are their characteristics?
This prompted Rob Vollman (who I presume is a shot quality denier, my apologies if not) to look into just that and to do so he identified a group of players who had the highest save percentage against while they were on the ice. The theory is, if shot quality suppression was a talent then there should exist players who experience a very good save percentage for their team while they are on the ice. The group of players identified varied significantly from George Parros to Kyle Wellwood to Sean O'Donnell to Marco Sturm. In the end Rob came to the conclusion that these players all had high save percentages while they were on the ice because they mostly played against weaker quality of competition.
But none of them are facing their team's toughest minutes. If they truly had the ability to suppress shooting percentage, why would Kesler and Burrows hop out against Ovechkin instead of Malhotra? Why would Pronger keep an eye on Crosby instead of O'Donnell? Kudos to each of them for playing their roles very well, but the explanation still appears grounded in Quality of Competition.
And there is the fault in logic.
- Claim: Shot quality doesn't exist.
- Counter-evidence: Some players do experience higher save percentages while they are on the ice.
- Rational: They do so because they play against weaker quality of competition.
- Claim Confirmed: Phew, my claim that shot quality doesn't exist remains valid.
Now the whole problem with that theory is the rational part because the rational part requires shot quality to be real for it to be true. The only way you can have a better quality of competition (in terms shooting/save percentage) is to have shot quality exist. If shot quality didn't exist all competitors would have the same level of shooting percentage talent. The claim and rational can't both be true, so the logic fails.
And that is where identifying shot quality becomes difficult. Players that are generally good at reducing the quality of shots against are lined up against opponents who are generally good at creating quality shots for. The net result is their talents cancel each other out to some extent making it difficult to identify shot quality driving/suppressing talent just by looking at the numbers in isolation of who they are playing with and against.

'Tis the season to go to parties! And it's a big no-no to go empty handed. What better way to show your host/hostess some LOVE than to make your own seasonal Snowflake Ornaments? They can be hung on a tree or in window to add some seasonal sparkle and shine.
I made mine using Swarovski Crystal beads, because, let's face it- they offer the most amazing sparkle, and I'm willing to spend a little coin on my benevolent hosts. However, you can use any beads in any combo you like. The only rule is to pick a pattern on the first arm of the form, and then repeat it exactly for each of the subsequent ones. It's the symmetry of the pattern that makes it all snow-flaky!
For my version, you'll need:
- a blank snowflake form. (I get mine from ConsumerCrafts, only $1.20 for 7 of 'em.)
- 66 4MM clear bi-cone Swarovski crystals (hitherto known as "swars")
- 12 6MM capri blue bi-cone swars
- 6Â 6MM blue topaz cube swarz
- 6 8MM clear round swarz
- a wire cutter and some round-nose pliers
Pattern: On each arm, string:
- 2 4MM clear bicones
- 1 6MM capri blue bicone
- 3 4MM clear bicones
- 1 6MM blue topaz cube
- 3 4MM clear bicones
- 1 6MM capri blue bicone
- 3 4MM clear bicones
- and 1 big, honkin' 8MM clear round!
Finish off the arm by bending the remaining wire at a 90-degree angle. Eyeball about 1/4 inch, then use your wire cutters to cut off the excess. Using your round-nose pliers, make a loop with remaining wire. Repeat for all 6 arms.
There you go! Appropriate for ANY winter holiday, you'll be the hit of the party! Long after the other guests' wine has been drunk up and nuts have been nibbled, this handcrafted gem will provide a lasting reminder of your friendship and craftiness! Now go make a bunch….

CELEB chef Antony Worrall Thompson has made a grovelling apology after The Sun
revealed today that he was arrested for shoplifting cheese and wine at a
Tesco store.
The Ready Steady Cook star, 60, said his actions were "stupid". He also said
sorry for letting his family down.
Today a statement published on his official website said: "I am so sorry for
all my recent stupid and irresponsible actions; I am of course devastated
for my family and friends, whom I've let down and will seek the treatment
that is clearly needed.
"I am not the first, and I certainly won't be the last person to do something
without rhyme or reason what went through my head, only time will
"Of course, I must also apologise sincerely to Tesco, with whom I've had a
long and genuine working relationship, and to all the staff at the Henley
branch, many of whom I've got to know over the years.
"Once again, I am so sorry and hopefully in the future I can make amends."
Worrall Thompson's apology comes after he was nicked in front of astonished
Tesco customers following five shoplifting episodes in just 16 days.
He was cautioned by police for pilfering five times in Henley-on-Thames,
Suspicious staff had filmed the telly chef on a secret camera in the store's
self-service checkout area, where shoppers scan barcodes on their purchases
and pay using machines.
The recession-hit star — nickname Wozza — is said to have put some items under
the scanner but sneaked others into bags without paying for them.
Guards stopped him leaving the supermarket and checked his bags after he was
filmed last Friday — then called in police officers.
Sources said the stolen goods were "relatively low value" but included cheeses
and bottles of wine.
Worrall Thompson tasted success as he launched a string of top eateries —
and soared to TV fame in the 1990s. But the recession hit his restaurant
business and he recently quit his £1.6million mansion for a home in High
Wycombe, Bucks.
Staff set up the camera at Tesco in Henley amid suspicions that the dad of
four had stolen on previous visits.
A source said: "He was ordering blocks of cheese at the deli counter, taking
bottles of wine, then putting some things through the scanner but walking
out with the rest.
"They caught him on camera doing it more than once, but had to be 100 per cent
sure it was not a genuine mistake before apprehending him. Because of his
high profile, the security staff could not afford to get it wrong."
Worrall Thompson, a 2003 contestant on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!,
was arrested on suspicion of theft. He was taken to a local police station
where his mugshot and fingerprints were taken and he gave a DNA saliva
He was questioned about shoplifting offences on five different occasions at
the Tesco superstore, beginning on December 22.
Other dates on which goods were allegedly stolen were December 30 and 31,
January 5 and the following day, when he was held.
Worrall Thompson was given a formal caution by police covering all five
separate offences. Anyone receiving a formal caution from police must admit
the crime for which it is received.
Although he will not have a criminal record, details of the caution will be
stored on police files.
A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: "We arrested a man from High Wycombe
following a report of shoplifting offences.
"The man has been issued with a formal caution for these offences."
Although Worrall Thompson's finances are said to be perilous, the frequency of
the shoplifting might suggest he is suffering from kleptomania — a
psychological compulsion to steal for a thrill.
The public-school educated chef — arrested and cautioned under his full name
Henry Antony Cardew Worrall Thompson — is godson of film legend Richard
His first business, set up in London's Knightsbridge in 1981, became a
favourite with Princess Di. He went on to open a series of diners,
collecting a crop of awards.
His TV breakthrough came as a presenter on BBC2's Food And Drink programme and
he later starred in Ready Steady Cook. Wed to third wife Jacinta, 46, he
also made several of his own series.
The Sun reported last year how cheese is the most shoplifted item.
Four per cent of all cheese put on store shelves gets stolen.
Britain is Europe's shoplifting capital. Losses hit £5billion last year.
Ex-Tesco chief executive Sir Terry Leahy said in 2006: "Shop crime hurts
businesses and creates a climate of fear."

Book Talk: Mixing food and fame to cook up a book of trivia
By Belinda Goldsmith
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Most children know George H. W. Bush banned broccoli from the White House when he was U.S. president but not many people realize Napoleon Bonaparte was one of the first people to enjoy banana fritters soaked in rum.
Few people have probably bothered to calculate that opera singer Luciano Pavarotti lost and gained 5,000 pounds in his career or are aware that Elvis Presley never cut up his own food.
But for two journalist brothers, Matthew and Mark Jacob, food trifles of the famous became an obsession, leading to the newly released book, "What the Great Ate: A Curious History of Food and Fame," published by Three Rivers Press.
The U.S.-based Jacob brothers said they were fascinated by the fact that meals could change history with food blamed for the deaths of various kings, popes and other leaders.
Paying tribute to the importance of food, actress Sophia Loren once declared: "Everything you see I owe to spaghetti."
The brothers spent more than two years plowing through piles of biographies and other books to pull together a collection of the culinary likes, dislikes, habits and attitudes of the famous through history.
Matthew and Mark Jacob spoke to Reuters about food and fame:

OP: Your car is my favorite MK4.
It's coming along
not diggin the spoilers, get that front bumper to match the body paint and it'd be tits
Local 777/////Skate Lair
i really like the way you chose to paint the front bumper, not the rattle can, but what stayed black, and what went silver my buddy did that same thng kinda on his srt4 looks mean
The car is coming along nicely. Glad to see my votex in the right hands.
what might be cool... just a suggestion... paint the roof and rear window spoiler black to match the sunroof and then color match the trunk spoiler to the silver... might cost a pretty penny but it would look sexy.
also while your saving for the paint you could pick up a little red for the calipers... give the car a little more sporty look to it... other than that I like the spoilers... its looking good... your jetta has become the model that I'm building mine around once I get taxes and I start my new job
Doing work
could always vinyl wrap the roof black instead of paint. That's my plan
Looks good bro
not really a fan of the spoilers.Ive always thought spoilerswere a bit on the ricey side. looking good though, just need to get a respray

Hottest Hot Pepper Sauce Review
With a name like Hottest Hot Sauce, you expect this sauce to be either very bad or very good. It's a simple name, nothing fancy at all. Is this the hottest hot sauce? Not by a long shot. Is this sauce hot? Oh yeah, it's hot, hot enough to make my eyes water.
The simple name is all that's necessary. Hottest Hot Sauce doesn't rely on a fancy name to stake its claim in the world of hot sauces. The bottle design, featuring flaming skulls, is pretty awesome, though. What it does rely on is taste. There's a beautiful fire-roasted flavor going on with this sauce that balances well with the blistering heat attack. Hottest Hot Sauce is billed as a fire-roasted sauce because several of the ingredients are fire roasted, which adds an attractive characteristic. Speaking of ingredients, this one fire-roasted habaneros, vinegar, lime juice, onion, garlic, cane juice, and chili extract. The onion and garlic are chopped coarsely and distributed proudly throughout the sauce for a texture you can bite down on. The habaneros seeds are left in and distributed just as thoroughly throughout the sauce as the rest of the ingredients, making this a sauce that clings wonderfully to anything you use it on.
Let's talk about aroma. Open the bottle and pass it under your nose. It's a rich, satisfying fragrance that makes you want to pour it on something, anything just to get a taste of a sauce that smells so appealing.
The Hottest Hot Sauce is a wonderful tasting sauce that can be used liberally (in spite of the heat) to flavor eggs, tacos, burritos (any Mexican food), and just about anything else you would normally want to heat up. Blended with butter, it makes a great sauce for wings and an excellent coating for seafood. This is a sauce that will please any pepper sauce lover, and one that you would benefit from by keeping a bottle of it on your dinner table at all times.

Pascal turns attention to fundraising for Haiti
PASCAL MILLIEN, Sligo Rovers' flying winger, certainly won't be idle during the winter months.
After earning a special place in the hearts of the Showgrounds faithful, the Haitian international is set for a hectic close season.
Last week-nd he hosted a fundraiser for his ' Millien Dreams Foundation' and the next few months will be spent pursuing this aspect of his life.
He's travelling to America in a few weeks time where he wil continue his fundraising efforts with the help of former Tampa Bay Rowdies team mates.
And then he'll be heading home to Haiti for a massive fundraising concert and soccer tournament.
Through the 'Millien Dreams Foundation', Pascal raises money to aid those affected by the devastating earthquake in Haiti two years ago.
He hopes the fund will provide schools and sports facilities for children in his home town of Leogane.
In the meantime, he'll be organising a number of soccer camps and tournaments, the next of which takes place in Leogane from December 14th to 16th.
"That will be one of the biggest events hosted by the Foundation so I'm really looking forward to going home for that," he says.
And if all that wasn't enough, Pascal has also been selected for the Haitian squad for an international tournament to be held in Panama from November 16th to 18th.
"It's a bit complicated because I have so much else to fit in so I don't know yet if I will be able to play for Haiti in Panama," he explains.
Like so many of his Rovers team mates, Pascal is not sure if he will be back in Sligo for the 2013 season.
"If things work out, I would love to come back," he says.
"I'm very happy in Sligo and the local people have been incredible, not only supporting me as a footballer but also as a musician
and fundraiser."

If your company ever acquires another company that has multiemployer pension or health benefit plan obligations through a union, beware. You could wind up being responsible for any delinquent contributions or underfunded benefit liabilities of the seller.
Generally, a benefit plan is a multiemployer plan if it is maintained by more than one employer in connection with a union collective bargaining agreement.
ERISA benefit obligations
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) gives multiemployer plans the right to collect an employer's delinquent contributions.
Additionally, an employer that withdraws from a multiemployer plan—for example, by being acquired by another company—may have "withdrawal liability" imposed under ERISA or the terms of the plan. If the assets of the company are sold, that may trigger a withdrawal, unless the buyer agrees to assume the contribution obligations.
