red wall brick as ground paver in the yard?
new to landscaping.
I want to add an area with pathway in the yard with pavement. I have abundant old red bricks (approx. 3"x7"x2") that are normall used for walls.
1. Can I use them for ground pavement?
2. If I can use red bricks, do I put gravel under and between them or sand?
3. If I can't use red bricks, is it better to use ready-made pavers or the faux stones with cement and molds to make them? Given this is DIY job and I don't have much experience with landscaping, but still want to make it economical.
nobody knows????
If you want the pathway to look nice, you'll need to dig down, pour and pack a good level substrate, then add sand, then put down the bricks, then pour fine sand on top of them and broom it down between the bricks.
If you just want something that's a sort of pathway, you can lay the bricks right down on top of the grass. They'll work their way "down" and the grass will grow up around them. This would be very easy, but I would not recommend it.
Sure you can use them. My front walkway is made from them and it's been there since 1930.
You can use plain old construction bricks for pavers, but how well they hold up in a freeze/thaw environment is questionable.
You'll want to dig down several inches and slightly wider than the proposed walkway. Put down at least 4-5" of crushed stone, 2" at a time, compacting it with each layer, getting it approximately level. Then at least 2-3" of slag sand, which is what you'll finally compact and level. Lay your bricks, then add your border. The border can be either a concrete "curb," which comes only about half-way to the top of the bricks and will eventually be covered by grass (which will need constant attention due to the lack of soil under it), or a plastic barrier held in place by long spikes. Then you'll spread slag sand atop the bricks and broom it into place. Water. Let dry. More slag sand. Water. Let dry. More slag sand... until the spaces between the bricks stay filled.
A note about the concrete curb vs. the plastic barrier with spikes: The concrete curb, if done correctly, will hold the walkway's shape better, by far. The plastic barrier is easier, but will undoubtedly lead to increased maintenance, particularly if the walkway or patio is on a grade.
Learned all this by doing it myself, and getting it wrong, watching professionals do it, and them getting it right, and reading.
Not a whole lot to add to the above post but they also make an aluminum edge for your pavers which in my opinion would be a the most cost effective solution although concrete really is the most stable and permanent solution but for most people its out of the realm of diy
Thank you all, guys!! Probably start digging tomorrow.

The most recent stop in former White House press secretary Scott McClellan's book tour was Capitol Hill, where he testified about his own participation in the Valerie Plame affair and the involvement of Bush and Cheney in attempting to cover up the treasonous tracks of 2007 felon of the year Scooter Libby.
The Guardian:
Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan today said that a former top aide to President Bush directed him to mislead the press about another administration official's involvement in the leak of a spy's name to the news media.
In testimony before the House judiciary committee, McClellan said that then-White House chief of staff Andrew Card told him to tell reporters that Scooter Libby, former chief of staff to vice-president Dick Cheney, played no part in the release of CIA officer Valerie Plame's identity. He said Card told him that at the request of Bush and Cheney.
McClellan said he spoke on the telephone with Libby, who assured him "in unequivocal terms" that he hadn't leaked Plame's name to the press. McClellan said he then told reporters Libby hadn't been involved.
Scott McClellan points out the deception and secrecy of the Bush administration ... five years too late.

Sample Chapter
Vegetarian Cooking for Starters
Simple Recipes & Techniques for Health and Vitality
by Diksha McCord (Blanche Agassy McCord)
Chapter 1: An Introduction to Vegetarianism
Why Become a Vegetarian?
Perhaps once considered a strange lifestyle in Western culture, vegetarianism is now quite common in our society. Though each persons decision to adopt a vegetarian diet is usually based on a combination of reasons uniquely his or hers, there are three primary concerns that vegetarians may have considered. These are improved health, ethical and environmental concerns, and spiritual convictions.
Improved Health
As awareness of the role of saturated fats and cholesterol in obesity, heart disease, and cancer has grown, many Americans have adopted a vegetarian diet as a type of preventive medicine. Others say that there is more to be concerned about than just fat and cholesterol, that, in fact, human beings are simply not designed to property digest and thrive on meat. This view is based on the observation that the teeth and digestive tract in the human body are more like those of non-meat eating animals than that of carnivores.
Some question the safety of meat as a food, at least in the way that it is currently produced and marketed. Aside from the recent real problems of animal plagues that can infect humans also (such as Mad Cow Disease), there is a growing concern over the widespread use of antibiotics and hormones in the production of meat, and how human health may be affected by ingestion of drug-saturated meat.
Ethical and Environmental Concerns
It has been stated that if all the land currently used for animal grazing were put into grain, legume, and vegetable production, there would be no hunger and starvation in the world, as there would be ample supply to feed every man, woman and child a nutritious diet. Other concerns include: the rapid destruction of particular environments, such as the rainforest, in order to support the beef industry; mistreatment of factory-farmed animals; over-fishing of rivers and oceans, and the destruction of other species in the process (for example, dolphins that get caught in tuna fishing nets).
Spiritual Convictions
A number of spiritual teachings, including those of yoga, Hinduism, Jainism, and many Native American and other aboriginal peoples, believe that all living beings are expressions of God. Therefore, all animals are equally precious embodiments of Spirit, and should be respected as such. The practice of killing animals for food is thus abhorrent to adherents of these religions and to be avoided except as necessary to sustain life (for example, in environments where there are few plant foods available).
What Do Vegetarians Eat?
As the name suggests, vegetarians do eat vegetables. But that is certainly not all we eat! I recall one particularly disappointing experience with what seems to be a common American concept of a vegetarian meal.
In 1994, while I was visiting friends in Los Angeles, we planned to have lunch at a highly regarded restaurant in one of the major downtown hotels. We made our reservations, specifically requesting a vegetarian entr�e. I was really looking forward to the experience, because the restaurant had a reputation for exceptionally delicious food. To my dismay, our lunch consisted of ordinary pasta with red sauce, and plain boiled vegetables. Bland and unappetizing, it was essentially a meal from which the meat had been removed, but nothing at all interesting had been added!
A vegetarian diet can actually provide us with much more variety in tastes and textures than the typical meat-based fare. While the average American home-cooked meal generally consists of a piece of meat (or fish, perhaps), a starch (such as potatoes, rice, pasta or bread), and a cooked vegetable and/or salad, a vegetarian repast may be composed of a number of dishes combining legumes, grains, vegetables, nuts, fruits and seasonings.
And, not all vegetarians eat alike. Because of varying concerns about the quality and means of obtaining non-flesh animal products, there are differences in diet within vegetarianism. The three main approaches are:
- Ovo-lacto vegetarianism, which includes the products of animals obtainable without slaughter, such as milk products, eggs, and honey.
- Lacto-vegetarianism, which includes dairy products and honey but avoids eggs (as the embryos of potentially living beings).
- Veganism, which avoids all products of animal origin, including honey and other bee products (usually based on a desire to avoid consumption of any food that involves the exploitation of animals).
In general, a balanced vegetarian diet is based on natural foods, including whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds.
The Ideal Diet
Even fresh, natural foods have varying influences on our consciousness, which affects our health and happiness. The teachings of yoga recommend following a diet that promotes harmony rather than stimulation one that keeps the nervous system calm and peaceful, and fills the body with energy, vitality and strength. According to these beliefs, all creation and therefore our food is composed of three subtle qualities, those that are elevating, activating or darkening. When we eat, or surround ourselves with, one of these qualities, our consciousness is drawn in that direction. By our awareness of these tendencies, and by choosing carefully how we feed our bodies, we can influence and shape our minds and lives. Here are some guidelines:
Natural, calming and cleansing foods are elevating, as are foods that increase life, vitality, strength, health and joy. They draw us toward goodness, truth, purity and spirituality, and foster within us such qualities as expansiveness, intelligence, creativity, love, sympathy, calmness, patience, and devotion.
Elevating foods include raw fruits and vegetables, fresh raw milk and cream, butter and ghee, nuts and seeds, and dried fruit, as well as pure water, clean air, and sunlight.
Cooked, spicy and stimulating foods are activating, as are foods that are excessively hot, bitter, sour, or salty. They give us physical energy, and support such movement-oriented qualities as curiosity, initiative, creativity, liveliness, ambition, restlessness, impulsiveness, over-seriousness, and aggression.
Naturally activating foods include whole grains, lightly cooked vegetables and fruits, onions, garlic, eggs, cheeses, fats and oils, salt, refined sugar, soft drinks and coffee. Lamb, poultry and fish are also activating.
Overcooked, spoiled or unwholesome foods are darkening. They lead us toward dullness, laziness, inertia, negativity, anger, covetousness, deceit, lust, and body consciousness.
Darkening foods include moldy cheeses, deep-fried food, very hot spicy foods, overcooked food, and foods that are canned, frozen, over-processed, chemically preserved, or fermented. Alcoholic beverages, beef, pork and all dried meats are darkening.
One might think that to achieve perfect health and lift our consciousness, we would want to eat only elevating foods. But Paramhansa Yogananda, the great master of yoga, recommended a diet that includes foods with both elevating and activating vibrations. Why? For one thing, many people are unable to successfully digest (and therefore draw the life force from) raw foods. Also, most of us have active lives, with many duties and responsibilities that require physical energy and initiative. As Yogananda pointed out, we need to balance our need to fulfill these outer demands with the desire to seek a higher consciousness. Therefore, his recommended diet included whole grains (cooked), vegetables and fruits (raw and lightly cooked), low-fat yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, butter, nuts and seeds.
As you think about what kind of balance youd like to achieve in your life and diet, remember that there are other factors at work also. Even though each food has its own innate vibrations, our consciousness and intention in cooking and eating that food can help us to infuse it with uplifting, more spiritually supportive vibrations.
The Role of Dairy Products and Eggs
Whole milk is rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins. Eggs are a wonderful source of high-quality protein, abundant B vitamins, and minerals. They can both be part of a healthy vegetarian diet. However, mass-production farming methods, long-term storage, and long-range shipping requirements have greatly compromised the quality of most dairy products and eggs available in the markets today.
Many people, both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, have found that dairy products can contribute to health problems such as allergies, asthma, arthritis, and heart disease. Whole milk is high in fat and contains cholesterol, making it a poor choice for those who need or wish to limit their fat intake. In addition, some individuals lack the enzyme needed for digesting lactose, which is the natural sugar found in milk. The variety of reduced-fat and non-fat varieties of milk, cheeses, and yogurt now available has provided a partial solution, as has the advent of lactose-free milk products, but these are all highly-processed foods.
In the yogic tradition milk is believed to have uplifting, calming and healing propertiesbut only when the milk is produced by healthy home bred cows that are raised on natural feed, and not treated with hormones and antibiotics. In addition, the milk should be consumed shortly after milking the cow, and not be homogenized or refrigerated beforehand. Likewise, butter, yogurt and cheeses should be made with fresh milk, and not adulterated with artificial color and flavor. Fresh cheeses, such as cottage cheese or farmer style cheeses, are preferred. Finally, milk is considered to be a food in itself, and not as a beverage to be drunk along with a meal.
For the most part, the American dairy industry produces milk, butter, yogurt and cheeses that do not meet these standards. If you want to include dairy foods in your diet, look for a local, organic source.
In recent years, eggs have been banned from the diets of many Americans because of their natural cholesterol content. Actually, the fat and cholesterol are contained entirely in the egg yolk, along with B vitamins and minerals; the egg white is almost pure protein.
Eggs are generally produced by hens kept in artificial indoor environments, and raised on feed laced with antibiotics and hormones to increase production. But there are sources of eggs produced by range-fed chickens that are not kept confined and are given natural feed without hormones or antibiotics. Some of these free-range chickens are fed only organically-grown grains, but not all, so it is important to read the egg carton carefully. Even so, these eggs may have lost some of their nutritional value through the time of transit and storage before retail sale.
For people who suffer from allergies to dairy products and eggs, or who simply do not want to eat them, there are many alternatives available in the market today. There are several commercially available brands of almond, rice and soymilk, and cheeses made from these same non-dairy sources. Egg substitutes, in both liquid and powder form, are also available, often in mainstream supermarkets. For recipes that call for eggs, you can also use ground flaxseed, silken tofu, or pureed fruit as substitutes.
It is also possible to create delicious and fully nutritious meals without use of dairy, eggs, or any substitute products, which is what I have done in my recipes.
What about Protein?
In the not too distant past, it was considered essential for good health to eat meat or fish for the complete protein that they provide. Attempting to compensate for this perceived lack in the vegetarian diet, early enthusiasts advocated food combining techniques that would allow the body to extract the elements of complete proteins from each plant-based meal. This was predicated on the understanding of the human bodys ability to synthesize proteins from the building blocks of the eight essential amino acids present in foods. But because it was thought that all the necessary amino acids had to be present in the stomach at the same time, this was a cumbersome method, involving eating certain combinations of foods in exact proportions at each meal.
Fortunately, continuing scientific research has shown that, not only do most foods contain proteins, but also that the human body can synthesize proteins from amino acids ingested over a period of time. In other words, by eating an adequate, balanced plant-based diet that meets our energy needs, we will be providing our bodies with plenty of protein.
However, it is true that certain groups of people the elderly, children, and pregnant women have higher nutritional needs. For them, and for others with higher nutritional requirements or difficulties in assimilating nutrients from their food, it may be advisable to supplement a plant-based diet with small amounts of dairy products and eggs. If you have any question about the advisability of a vegetarian diet for yourself, be sure to consult with your physician.
A Word about Organic Foods
Organic foods are those grown or produced without the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. In addition, true organic farming involves the use of organic matter (manure and compost) to enrich the soil, so that its nutrients are replenished constantly. Organically grown foods are usually more nutritious and more flavorful than commercially grown products. Not only is it better for our health to eat organic foods, but it helps to create a sustainable agricultural system.
To ensure that you are getting good quality organic foods, it helps to know the source the farmer or company, and your grocer. Buying organic foods locally, with the seasons, will help reduce your cost.

1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo news, pictures, specifications, and information
The 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was available as both an LS and SS models. The Aerocoupe was also available, of which just 200 examples had been produced the year before. Power came from a 262 cubic-inch V6 engine with throttle-body fuel injection and new roller valve lifters. A carbureted 305 cubic-inch V8, offering 150 horsepower, was also available. The SS came standard with a V8 engine, rated at 180 horsepower.
The Monte-Carlo's powered by six-cylinder engines were mated to a three-speed automatic as standard equipment. V8 engines had a four-speed gearbox.

SS Sport Coupe
In 1989, Darrell Waltrip won the most prestigious title in stock car racing in the #17 Tide car. Much of his success that day may have been due to the new 'aero coupe' design of the Chevy Monte Carlo.
The new design was a response to the success Ford was enjoying with its new Thunderbird body style. Chevrolet shortened the trunk line of the Monte Carlo by sweeping the rear window glass backward, providing an aerodynamic pocket that added more stability, especially on the longer superspeedways.
Only 120 Monte Carlos of this design were manufactured by Chevy in 1987 - the minimum needed to qualify it as NASCAR-approved. The Tide name rode prominently - the laundry detergent product was one of the first non-racing related sponsors in the sport.
This car was built by Hendrick Motor Sports and is powered by a Hendrick built V-8 engine that displaced 358 cubic-inches and produced 600 horsepower.

Introduced on September 18, 1969, the Monte Carlo was only available as a four person luxury two door coupe. An American mid-size vehicle that originally designed as a personal luxury vehicle, the Chevrolet Monte Carlo was unveiled at the height of GM muscle car power era. Originally created as Chevy's answer to the new A-body Pontiac Grand Prix, Monte Carlo was the creation of Elliot M. Estes, general manager of Chevrolet and Chevrolet's chief stylist, Dave Holls. The styling of the Monte Carlo closely mimicked the more contemporary Cadillac Eldorado, though much of the body and structure were shared with the Chevelle.
Showcased alongside the Buick Riviera and the Pontiac Grand Prix, the Monte Carlo had a bit of competition in the gentlemen's performance market. The Monte Carlo shared a very short period in the limelight as a muscle car, shortly following its introduction the vehicle fell out of favor in Detroit.
The Monte Carlo was originally intended as competition to the Ford Thunderbird for the 1970 model year, and has continued to last through six generations to date. Closely based on a contemporary mid-sized sedan, all Monte Carlos have remained as two-door coupes. From the beginning, the Monte Carlo has been one of GM's largest successes on the NASCAR stock car racing circuit.
Fitted with the longest ever hood on a Chevrolet, the Monte Carlo rode on a 116 inch wheelbase, and was based on the A-body Chevelle platform with 6 footer hood. Though any Chevelle engine was available, all Monte Carlos came standard with at least a 350 cubic inch V8 engine. To create a more muscular appearance, bulges were added to the fenders. Except for the fake wood trim, the Monte Carlo shared basically the same dashboard as the Chevelle. The base price was $3,123, and cost more $218 more than the Chevelle Malibu.
A fully equipped Monte Carlo cost more than $5,000 with all of the various options. These options included three-speed manual being replaced by two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, or four-speed manual, though most Monte Carlo's carried the Turbo-Hydramatic. Other available options included Four Season Air Conditioning, power seats, Variable-Ratio Power Steering, power windows, Strato bucket seats, full instrumentation, Rallye wheels and much more.
The Monte Carlo SS 454 package was the most sporting option and received an updated blacked-out rear body panel in 1971. The new package also included front and rear stabilizer bars and dash control knows with international symbols and heavy-duty front and rear suspension. A variety of models came with new rubber rear bumper inserts. The LS-5 454 was rated at 365 bhp, which was an increase of 5 bhp, despite falling horsepower rating for other GM motors this year. Priced at $420, the SS package included a standard Turbo-Jet 454 of 454 in³ (7.4 L) with a four-barrel carburetor which was rated at 360 hp (269 kW) at 4800 rpm and 500 ft•lbf (678 N•m) of torque at 3500 rpm.
The package included wider tires, heavy-duty suspension, and an automatic load-leveling rear suspension. Though it cost $222 extra, the Turbo-Hydramatic transmission was a required option with the SS package. Although only counting for less than 3% of Monte Carlo's sales in 1970, the SS was quite a fast ride, that was comparably equipped to the Chevelle SS 454, and only weighed a bit more. From its introduction until 1972, the vehicle remained virtually unchanged when the SS package was deleted and replaced by the Custom package which appeared as a one-year only offering. This Custom package featured a special suspension and other options available with the SS option. But unline the SSpackage, it was available with any engine on the roster. The 454 in³ V8 engine remained optional in Monte Carlos all the way through 1975.
Unfortunately, sales were limited in 1970 when a labor strike cut into profits and dropped sales at 130,657 rather than the projected 185,000. Most Monte Carlos sold for full list price, which in the end paid of and made it a profitable year. The SS 454s only accounted for 3,823 units of 1970 Monte Carlo sales.
Only slight styling updates were made on the 1971 Monte Carlo, including slimmer, vertical taillights. The SS model received new 'European symbol knobs,' and the option of a four-spoke steering wheel. The small-block Turbo Fire 400 was deleted though mechanically everything else remained the same. Despite the reduction in compression ratio, the SS 454 engine was raised to a nominal 365 gross.
In 1972 the Monte Carlo received a Cadillac-like eggcrate grille that was very similar to the '71 Chevy Caprice. The final year for the first generation design, the grille and metal rear trim molding highlighted the updates for the '72 model. An industry-wide switch to SAE nt hp numbers helped lead to a reduction in the rated power of all Chevy engines, though the engine stayed the same. In addition to the optional Strato bucket seats, the new availability of all-vinyl upholstery with the standard bench seat was the only update in the interior trim.
The standard engine in California was the 4-barrel carbureted 350, to comply with more strict emissions standards. Turbo Hydramatic was the only transmission available in California.
The second generation of Monte Carlo's were introduced in 1973 and featured new Chevy parts along with a sleek new look. Still retaining its 116-inch wheelbase, the new design of the body was highlighted with deep curves that were borrowed from the GM Colonnade coupe.
A brand new redesigned Monte Carlo was released alongside other GM intermediates in 1973. Following the pattern of other GM mid-size vehicle, this second generation of Monte Carlos no longer featured a hardtop, but instead a pillared coupe with rear side opera windows and a frameless door glass. New styling features included dual headlights that were positioned beside an egg-crate grille with a Monte Carlo emblem in front, and vertical taillights that were placed above the bumper. In 1973 federally mandated 5 mph bumpers required that all passengers vehicles sold in the U.S. with the 5 mph requirement extended to rear bumpers.
The basic all-coil suspension was carried over along with the separate body-on-frame construction. The '73 Monte Carlo showcased a variety of innovations to improve both the ride and handling these features included standard radial-ply tires, high-caster steering, Pliacell shock absorbers, and front and rear anti-roll bars. The radial-tuned system was included in the standard Monte Carlo when the automatic transmission was ordered, as well as retained 'traditional' steering and bias-ply tires. This earned the Monte Carlo S label.
A brand new, wraparound cockpit-style instrument panel was featured inside the '73 Monte Carlo. This panel was quite similar to other contemporary Pontiacs, Buicks and Oldsmobiles where the gauges and other instruments were centered within easy reach of the driver. Retained in the 1973 model was the simulated burl elm trim. 'Strato Bucket' seats of brand new design were an optional option, while a split bench seat was standard. Floor console with shifter and storage compartment was also optional. Able to swivel nearly 90 degrees to permit easy entry to both driver and front passenger, the bucket seats were of a one-piece high-back design. Available cloth and vinyl trims were offered with both bucket and bench seats.
Named Motor Trend's 'Car of the Year' for 1973, the acclaim was found in the styling and emphasis of the Euro-style ride and handling. A new sales record was reached for Chevrolet for this year with nearly 250,000 units sold for the model year.
The Monte Carlo Landau was the new model for 1973 and was basically an 'S' with Turbine II wheels, driver and passenger-side sport mirrors and a rear quarter Landau vinyl roof.
The recipient of only minor detail updates for the 1974 model year, the Monte Carlo received a revised grille in the front, along with taller and slimmer vertical tailings in the rear of the vehicle. The license plate was relocated slightly and a larger 5mph rear bumper was another additional update. Discontinued, the base Monte Carlo with only manual transmission, standard suspension and bias-ply tires was deleted in '74, leaving only the 'S' and 'Landau' models. These models did have radial-ply tires and upgraded suspensions, as well as standard power steering and front disc brakes.
Setting a whole new sales record of over 300,000 units despite the Arab Oil Embargo of late 1973 and early 1974 that greatly depleted the sales of standard and intermediate-sized vehicles in favor of smaller compacts, the Monte Carlo continued to set a new sales record for the year. The Monte Carlo continued to lead in the intermediate personal luxury car sales, with the Grand Prix placing second.
Very few styling updates were made on the 1975 model from the previous year. A new grille with the Monte Carlo emblem was moved to the center section of the car, and new vertically shaped taillights with horizontal louvers were the only styling changes for the '75 year. To keep up with the latest federal and California emission requirements, all models received catalytic converters that included bonuses such as better fuel economy and drivability. They also received longer spark plug and muffler life, though they now required more expensive and lower-octane unleaded gasoline.
The engine remained the same from the previous year, though they did receive the addition of GM's High Energy electronic ignition that made standard equipment and the 454 in³ V8 that was no longer offered on California vehicles. This left the 180 hp (134 kW) 400 in³ four-barrel the top engine in state of California. Becoming standard in 1976, all 1975 Monte Carlos were now equipped with the Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission.
A Custom interior option that was new for 1975 included a plusher cloth 50/50 bench seat with recliner on the passenger side and lower door panel carpeting. The interior was standard with a bench seat with knit-cloth and vinyl or all-vinyl upholstery. Still optional with either knit cloth of vinyl upholstery, the swiveling Strato bucket seats and console were still an available. White all-vinyl interiors were made available for the first time during this year with bench or bucket seats in contrasting colors of black, red, blue and green for either carpet or instrument panels.
Unfortunately, sales declined slightly from 1974's record-setting high due to higher prices that resulted from the addition of the catalytic converter, double-digit inflation and the added competition of Dodge's Charger SE and Chrysler's Cordoba. The production of the 1975 sales ended at close to 250,000 units sold.
Both Base and Custom level models remained the same in 1976, though the instrument panel and steering wheel now featured a new rosewood trim that replaced the burled elms of previous years. A two-toned 'Fashion Tone' paint combination was now a new option for 1976.
Reshaped taillights, a new crosshatch grille and newly vertically mounted rectangular headlamps identified the '76 Monte Carlo. A brand new 140 hp 305 in³ V8 became the standard engine, and the 150 hp 350 V8 and 180 hp 400 in³ V8 being the optional engine for this year. Discontinued for this year, the big-block 454 in³ V8 was deleted from the option list for this year. All 1976 Monte Carlos received the Turbo Hydramatic as standard equipment.
This year the Monte Carlo hit an all-time exclusive record with a production rate of over 400,000 units sold this year.
Moving to a stand-up hood ornament in 1977, the Monte Carlo emblem changed positions dramatically to along with revised taillight lenses. This was the final year for the 1973-vintage design before the downsized Monte Carlo was ushered in 1978. The engines were now reduced to a mere two engines, a standard 140 hp two-barrel carbureted 305 or a 160 hp four-barrel carbureted 350 engine. This was the only time when an intermediate model was larger in every dimension than a full-sized model in all of history.
The third generation was unveiled in 1978 and continued until 1980 with the first ever V6 engine for the Monte Carlo. The familiar curves of the body design stayed the same, but a new taillight, which wrapped around the back end, now replaced the original horizontal taillights. Rectangular quad, side-by-side headlights topped off the front of the 1980 model, along with the installation of the turbocharged V6 engine.
Downsized for the 1978 model year, all GM intermediate-sized vehicles including the Monte Carlo responded to the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo and CAFÉ requirements. The third generation of Monte Carlos was 700 to 800lbs lighter and 15 inches shorter than the '77 model. A smaller engine compartment was also featured and with 350 and 400 in³ V8s that were featured previously were dropped in exchange for a standard 231 in³ V6 that was built by Buick, or an optional Chevy 305 in³ V8.
For the first time in a variety of years a three-speed manual transmission reappeared as standard on the base model with the V6 engine, while the automatic was optional. A four-speed manual was offered on the Monte Carlo for the first time since 1971. With the 305 V8 a four-speed manual transmission with floor shifter was optional. For 1978 the optional V8 and all Landau models came standard with the automatic.
The 1979 Monte Carlo only received a few minor trim updates, and these included the installation of larger taillight lenses. A new Chevrolet-built 200 in³ V6 became the standard engine for the base Monte Carlo in 49 states. The Buick 231 in³ V6 engine continued standard as the base engine on California and all Landau models. For 1979 the 140 hp 305 in³ V8 remained as an option, and a new 120 hp 267 in V8 was offered also as an option. A 160 hp version with a four-barrel carburetor was made available. Continuing from the previous year, the same transmissions were carried over and these included a standard three-speed manual and optional four-speed manual. Other options included an optional three-speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic. Due to low buyer interest, 1979 was the final year that Chevrolet would offer manual transmissions on the Monte Carlo.
Receiving a slight restyle in the front, the 1980 Monte Carlo received quad headlights with amber indicators that were mounted beneath. A new Chevrolet-built 229 in³ V6 replaced both the 200 in³ V6 of 1979 and the Buick engine that was offered on all '78 models and an automatic transmission became standard on all models. Buick's turbocharged version of the 231 in³ V6 rated at 170 hp was a new option for 1980. 267 and 305 in³ versions of the Chevrolet small-block V8 with up to 160 hp were optional engine for this year.
Defined as the complete new generation of the Chevrolet Monte Carlos, the fourth generation which ran from 1981 until 1988 was in a class all of its own. Featuring a smoother profile in comparison to previous years, the Fourth Generation 1981 Monte Carlo showcased new vertical taillights that's were similar to '70 to '77 models. The Monte body was restyled and updated to follow suit with other GM mid-size formal coupes. The engines were carried over from the year before, and these included the standard 229 in³ Chevrolet V6 an optional 267 in³ V8, a turbocharged 170 hp 231 in³ Buick V6 in the Monte Carlo Turbo and a 305 in³ V8 in the base and Landau models. Standard equipment on the '81 model was an automatic transmission, power front disc brakes and power steering.
The 1982 Monte Carlo only received slight revisions. The Monte Carlo turbo model and the turbocharged 231 in³ V6 were discontinued, while all of the other engines carried over from the previous year. A 262 in³ V6 and an Oldsmobile 350 in³ V8, both diesel engines were offered brand new for this year. Mid size vehicles were now designated A-body cars, due to the introduction of GM's new mid-size platform and caused chassis designations to be shuffled up. Vehicles that were formerly A-bodies were now classified as G-bodies. For 1982, a black exterior was not available.
Receiving only minor updates, the '83 Monte Carlo gained a revised grille and interior trim patters. The standard engine continued to be the 229 in³ V6, and the 165 hp 305 in³ V8 was optional. The Super Sport Package, Z65 was once again made an option in 1983
The Monte Carlo SS was reintroduced in 1983, following twelve years of being discontinued. One of the last carbureted, rear-wheel drive 'muscle cars', the Monte Carlo SS featured European body color-coding, a new front fascia, a rear spoiler and a V8.
In 1984 the regular Monte Carlo was available standard with a 125 hp 229 in³ V6 and the option of 165 hp 305 V8. The final year for the 350 in³ diesel engine in a base Monte Carlo, only a total of 168 units were produced for '84. For this year, all engines received the three-speed automatic transmission, except for the three SS's, which received the 200-4R transmission with overdrive.
Following the restrictive emissions regulations of the late 1970s, the car-buying public was itching for a power-driven vehicle. The SS was a major hit in 1984, and a total of 112,730 sport coupes were sold, along with an additional 24,050 with the SS option. The SS featured floor console and Strato bucket seats as extra-cost options for the first time rather than the standard split bench seat with armrest.
Discontinued following the '82 model year, T-tops were re-introduced in the 1985 Monte Carlo. A total of 35,484 Monte Carlo SS's were produced for this year, and offered in a variety of colors black, maroon, silver and white. Becoming standard on the SS was a four-speed automatic overdrive transmission, the Turbo Hydramatic 200-4R, with a newly revised sport rear axle ratio that contained 3:73 gears. The 229 in³ V6 and 350 in³ V8 diesel engines were now gone for good in 1985. A 262 in³ (4.3 L) V6 that was fuel-injected with throttle-body fuel injection was the replacement for the 229.
Four very unique body styles were featured for the 1986 Monte Carlo. Showcasing the same general body panels that had been used since '81, the base model Sport Coupe was still available, though now it featured new 'aero' side mirrors similar to 1980 Corvettes and Camaro's. A Luxury Sport model was the new edition to the 1986 Monte Carlo line. The LS also had new 'aero' side mirrors, along with a revised front fascia and an updated sharp-looking rear fascia. New 'Euro' headlamps that featured removable bulbs in a plastic headlamp housing rather than the smaller all-in-one glass headlights of years before were found on this new 86 edition.
Unique for the 1986 year was the Aerocoupe model, a modified Super Sport body that included a intensely sloped rear window and shorter trunklid that sported a spoiler. A total of 200 units were produced and sold to the public, the exact number NASCAR officials required for road model features to be incorporated in the racing.
Chevrolet deleted the Sport Coupe version of the Monte Carlo in 1987, which left the SS, LS and the Aerocoupe. The Aerocoupe has been considered to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made. A total of 6,052 Aerocoupes were sold for this year.
On December 11, 1987, the final rear wheel drive G-body Monte Carlo was constructed at the Pontiac Michigan plant. To the world, this seemed to be the end of the Monte Carlo, but amazingly after a six year absence, the vehicle was re-released for a fifth generation in the fall of 1994. Though no longer available with the Super Sport package, the Fifth generation of Monte Carlos were introduced as a front wheel drive, V6 powered vehicle. Two available packages were the LS along with the sportier Z34, and for the final two year, the Z34 featured a 200 hp 3.8L engine.
The final year for the fourth generation of the Monte Carlo, 1988 models were actually constructed late during the previous year. Only 16,204 SSs were produced at an asking price of $14,320. Not much changed mechanically for this year, except for the 231 in³ V6 engine being dropped completely. The Aerocoupe was gone and did not make a return for this year. Chevrolet was in the midst of designing the Lumina, a much more aerodynamic vehicle that exuded sleek body style. Only producing about half of the previous years' sales, only 30,174 units were produced for the 1988 year.
The fifth generation of the Chevrolet Monte Carlo was released in 1995. The mid-size Lumina was split into two different models with the Sedan remaining as the Lumina, and the coupe carrying on as the Monte Carlo. Sharing the same updated W-body chassis as the Lumina, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Grand Prix and a few others, the '95 Monte Carlo was the first front-wheel drive vehicle of its type. All Monte Carlos that were constructed from 1995 to 2007 were built in Oshawa, Ontario; Canada. Prices for the LS were $16,770 and the Z34 was priced at $18,970.
For this generation, the Monte Carlo was available in two trims, the LS and the Z34. The Z34's featured a powerful 3.4 L DOHC V6 engine with 215 hp (160 kW) and 220 ft•lbf (298 N•m) while the LS was powered by the 3.1 L 3100 V6 putting out 160 hp @5000 rpm (119 kW) and 185 ft•lbf (251 N•m). This fifth generation of Monte Carlos underwent very minor equipment updates, and remained very much the same during its four years of production.
A completely new design was in store for the sixth generation of Monte Carlos. Chevrolet not only requested design inspiration from GM Motorsports, but also from Monte Carlos of the past. In 2000 the newly released sixth generation was powered by a V6 engine, the revived knight crest emblems, along with the curves of its legacy. Stylized wheel flares, vertically oriented tail-lamps and stylized rear bumpers were traits that were pulled from older Monte Carlo vehicles.
The SS trim level became the first front-wheel drive SS in the Chevrolet lineup and received the 3.8 L V6. The re-introduction of the Super Sport (SS) package was also market by 2000, and was offered alongside the standard LS trim. The Supercharged SS package was introduced in 2004.
Unveiled at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Seventh Generation of Monte Carlo's were showcased as the companion to the Impala sedan. Producing 210 hp (156kW) the base engine is a 3.5 L V6. The SS model utilized the Generation Four small-block V8 in a front wheel drive vehicle for the first time.
Between 2005 and 2006 models, much debate has been raised at to whether a new generation designation is necessary. Though much of the exterior body panels and glass has remained the same, the interior was wholly redesigned for the '06 year. The new interior featured a revamped, cockpit-style instrument panel with a new control center and instrument layout. The seats and console were also revised for this year.
The Monte Carlo will continue to be produced at Oshawa Car Assembly Plant #1 until December of 2007. The Plant #1 will then be closed for a month in which time all equipment will be relocated to Plant #2. Following the completed move, only the Lacrosse / Allure and the Impala will continue to be produced ending the production span of the Monte Carlo along with the Grand Prix.

Tim Richmond harbored a secret that not even he was willing to believe. Despite the joyful and excited facade, the thirty-one year old would be battling with a much darker reality. Less than a year ago he was the driver with the most wins. But now, in 1987, there were many who didn't believe he belonged in a car. Nearly everyone was convinced he couldn't return to his winning ways after months away. Certainly he couldn't. But then... Coming into the early summer months of the 1986 season Tim ...

The Best of West Virginia Awards 2013
The votes are in! Readers from all corners of the state have weighed in on their favorite eateries and entertainment venues, celebrities and care providers, shopping spots and scenic escapes.
(page 1 of 8)
Food & Drink
BEST CHEF- It's a tie
Dale Hawkins
He's a celebrity in West Virginia—a household name. Dale Hawkins grew up in Rock Cave and while he collected education and training from across the country, he brought his expertise home. With a style he coined New Appalachian Fare (local ingredients used in global dishes with a regional interpretation), Dale owns and operates Fish Hawk Acres, his family's farm, and has devoted himself to developing a strong food network in the Mountain State. His latest endeavor, a community-supported kitchen, brings freshly prepared meals into West Virginia's homes. Fish Hawk Acres1 Fish Hawk Drive, Rock Cave, WV 26234; 304.924.9880; wvfishhawkacres.com
Tim Urbanic
Tim was an early proponent of the farm-to-table movement in West Virginia, supporting local farms since he opened Café Cimino Country Inn in 1999 with his wife. Tim cites his grandmother, an immigrant from Calabria, and his mother as the most formative influences in his culinary style, instilling an early understanding of the difference fresh ingredients make and immersing him in the flavors of Southern Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. These flavors continue to inform many of his award-winning recipes, and his restaurant draws droves of people from around the state to the tiny town of Sutton.616 Main Street, Sutton, WV 26601; 304.765.2913; cafeciminocountryinn.com
BEST PLACE TO ORDER COMFORT FOOD - It's a Tie
Bluegrass Kitchen
Bluegrass Kitchen serves up comfort food for the savvy eater, prepared with healthy ingredients that are locally sourced. Each creative twist, like Fish and Chips breaded with craft beer and served with homemade tartar sauce or Short Ribs rubbed with sassafras and slow-braised, feels like a responsibly delicious return to the dishes that your grandma made. Don't miss Sunday brunch, but get there early, as the bottomless Bloody Marys and mimosas are in high demand.1600 Washington Street East, Charleston, WV 25311; 304.346.2871; bluegrasswv.com
At Diehl's, comfort food is exactly how you remember it—except maybe a little better (sorry, Mom). Family-owned and operated for more than 50 years, the food is savory and homemade. Doled out in huge portions, Diehl's offers classic dishes like fried chicken and pot roast with homemade rolls and all the country sides you could want. The deep-fried sage stuffing is a must-have.152 Main Avenue, Nitro, WV 25143; 304.755.9353

Pies and Pints
In 10 short years, Pies & Pints has become one of the state's most popular eateries. After washing down your first slice of Grape Pie or Cuban Pork Pie with a Bridge Brew Works beer, you'll already be planning your next visit. But it isn't just the artisan pizzas and craft brews that keep people flocking through the doors. The hip, inviting environment somehow makes the pies and the pints taste even better.piesandpints.net 219 West Maple Avenue, Fayetteville, WV 25840; 304.574.2200 222 Capitol Street, Charleston, WV 25301; 304.342.7437 1002 Suncrest Towne Centre Drive, Morgantown, WV 26505; 304.777.4749
Fairmont was the first place Guiseppe Argiro sold his now-famous coal miners' snack, and that's where Colasessano's began selling their version of the state's official food more than 50 years ago. The pepperoni bun is a huge chunk of freshly baked bread filled with long strips of pepperoni. If you want, you can get them sliced open and stuffed with Oliverio peppers (out of Clarksburg), provolone cheese, and homemade sauce. What's not to love?506 Pennsylvania Avenue, Fairmont, WV 26554, 304.363.9713; colasessanos.com 9705 Mall Loop, Fairmont, WV 26554; 304.363.0571 6120 Mid Atlantic Drive, Morgantown, WV 26508; 304.241.4917
Ellen's Homemade Ice Cream
When Ellen Beal isn't playing flute for the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, she's whipping up the state's favorite homemade ice cream. Fourteen standard flavors are fixed on the regular menu. The Raspberry Chocolate Chip and Mint Oreo are customer favorites. Each week Ellen rolls out new flavors to keep customers happy. The seasonal creamy pumpkin is anticipated all year.225 Capitol Street, Charleston, WV 25301; 304.343.6488; ellensicecream.com

Café Cimino Country Inn
In the historic P.J. Berry estate in downtown Sutton, Café Cimino Country Inn is a purveyor of genuine Southern hospitality. Its quaint, secluded location on the banks of the Elk River doesn't impede owners Tim and Melody Urbanic from offering one of the most refined destinations in the state. Melody takes care of the guests, treating them to lavish, unexpected personal touches, while Tim prepares his award-winning cuisine for breakfast and dinner. Guests leave feeling like family.
The Urbanic family has made Café Cimino Country Inn a culinary destination, with elegant dishes composed of fresh, local ingredients prepared by Tim and son Eli. Dishes like Shellfish Pescatore (shrimp, clams, scallops, mussels, and calamari in a white wine-tomato sauce) and Filet Mignon Gorgonzola (a black angus filet served with potatoes and sautéed spinach atop a creamy Gorgonzola sauce) bring in classy culinary aficionados from across the state. It's not just the food, though—the gracious brand of hospitality, overseen by Tim's wife Melody, makes each guest a loyal guest.616 Main Street, Sutton, WV 26601; 304.765.2913; cafeciminocountryinn.com

Hillbilly Hot Dogs
Before you step through the doors of Hillbilly Hot Dogs, you know you're in for a unique experience. Every inch of this eatery's buildings are covered in the owners' quirky brand of rural charm, and the hot dogs are more of the same. Where else can you sit in an outhouse and eat a 15-inch, 3.5-pound hot dog called The Homewrecker?6951 Ohio River Road, Lesage, WV 25537; 304.762.2458; hillbillyhotdogs.com 1501 3rd Avenue, Huntington, WV 25701; 304.522.0044
Cathedral Café
The most unique feature of Cathedral Café? It isn't the whimsical hand-painted tables or the quirky selection of gifts. It isn't the shelves stuffed with used books for buying and browsing. It isn't the tortellini salad or the sweet potato pancakes (local favorites), or even the coffee. It's the location. Housed in an old church in downtown Fayetteville, Cathedral Café has a distinct ambience with its domed ceilings and streams of colored light shining in through stained glass windows.134 South Court Street, Fayetteville WV 25840; 304.574.0202
Coffee at Charleston's Moxxee rivals the most sophisticated cafés in New York City. Assuming the principles of the Third Wave of Coffee, Moxxee approaches coffee with an artisanal flair. Beans are bought in small batches, roasted to exact specifications, and prepared using the latest technology—via vacuum with specially filtered water.301 Morris Street, Charleston, WV 25301; moxxeecoffee.com
Taylor Books
Taylor Books is a Charleston institution. Tin ceilings, hardwood floors, and exposed brick feel trendy but inviting, and many residents start their day here at 7 a.m. with a cup of coffee and a fresh pastry. Customers are often seen enjoying their coffee while perusing the books, collections of specialty cards, or local art in the Annex Gallery.226 Capitol Street Charleston, WV 25301; 304.342.1461; taylorbooks.com
King Tut's Drive-In
Owned and operated by the McKay family since 1955, King Tut's is so much more than traditional fast-food fare. A relic of a bygone era, guests are served homemade food by a carhop after they've parked. You can snag an award-winning pork barbecue sandwich on a homemade bun for less than $5 and finish up with a slice of coconut cream pie—also homemade, of course. Eating in your car is respectable—even cool—again.301 North Eisenhower Drive Beckley, WV 2580; 304.252.6353; kingtutsdrivein.com

Muriale's Italian Restaurant
Sitting inside one of the cozy dining rooms at Muriale's, slurping down noodles coated with the deliciously complex red sauce, you'll be so busy savoring each bite you might not notice how well you're being treated. A doting service staff bustles about, ready to fill your glass or offer you to-die-for dessert. The homemade lasagna is famous amongst regulars, cooked in layers with the artfully blended house red sauce.1742 Fairmont Avenue, Fairmont WV 26554; 304.363.3190; murialesrestaurant.com

There is seemingly an endless list of questions that coaches, fans and journalists alike will have about every team before a season begins. Usually, the more times you say "yes" the better. What really instills confidence though is when there aren't even questions to answer.
There's an old saying I like to refer to this team a year; "The less questions you have about a team, the better they will probably be," or something like that. Of course, there are always teams that answer those questions (a la the 2007 Giants, who went from a mediocre team to Super Bowl champs.)While there are teams that will rise from the ashes, it's usually a safe bet to believe in a team that doesn't have any huge questions regarding key personnel, injuries and experience.
With all that in mind, the Jacksonville Jaguars have a lot of questions and "ifs" that must be worked out. They absolutely should not be ruled of contention before the season even begins, but a position-by-position breakdown reveals that there's an abundance of "ifs" an questions floating around out there. To further analyze how confidence fans should be of the team, we'll take a look at each position's positives, lingering questions and how the position should perform. We will follow this with an overall confidence level, running from 0-10, 10 being the highest. Today we'll hit on wide receivers.
Wide Receiver
Pressing Question: Will a Jaguars receiver give David Garrard his first true go-to guy during his tenure as a starter?
Breakdown: Out with the old and in with the new. The Jaguars let the troubled duo of Matt Jones and Reggie Williams go this offseason and also cut free-agent bust, Jerry Porter. Jacksonville also just traded Dennis Northcutt. To replace them, the team added Torry Holt in free agency and Jarett Dillard, Mike Thomas and Tiquan Underwood via the draft. Holt is expected to bring leadership and the rookies should add some speed that the team has lacked lately. Mike Walker is entering his third year and could be due for a breakout year.
The Big If: If Walker or a rookie can emerge as a consistent threat next to the elder Holt, then Jacksonville could potentially have its best one-two punch in years.
Our Call: The raw talent is there for the Jaguars but inexperience is a problem here. The point of this series is addressing "ifs" and there are too many players here that warrant a sentence about them to begin with "if they pan out…" so it's difficult to give the group a vote of confidence. Some guys like Walker can step up, but inexperience might lead to some frustrating moments.
Confident Level: 5

Company culture
Not much of a culture here. Certainly NOT what one would expect for a company of its legacy.
Support from Management
This depends on where you are in the company. Many of us felt lack of support from management in many areas
The atmosphere of always worried about being laid off makes everyone be out for themselves. No teamwork can ever be promoted in this kind of climate that has been consistent for over 40 years!! New hire potentials: Careful who you listen to!!!

Video: See Highlights from the Metal Masters 2 Clinic
The Metal Masters Clinic 2 took place last week in New York City.

Now, The Dirty Laundry Gets Washed In Public
In 1992, Frank J. Carman, a midlevel manager at McDonnell Douglas Corp., began to clash frequently with his boss. So he called the corporate ombudsman--an in-house mediator who, among other things, helps employees resolve interpersonal disputes.
The ombudsman concluded that Carman was, indeed, treated unfairly, Carman claims. But before the ombudsman could smooth things over, McDonnell Douglas fired Carman, who was 56 at the time. So he slapped the company with an age-discrimination lawsuit. When Carman tried to bolster his case by getting the ombudsman's records, however, the company refused to turn them over. Citing a string of lower-court decisions, it claimed that they were protected by "ombudsman's privilege," which gave the company the power to shield the documents.
NASTY SECRETS. But in June, a St. Louis federal appeals court, the highest-ranking tribunal ever to consider the issue, disagreed with McDonnell Douglas and struck down ombudsman's privilege. While the ruling isn't binding on most federal and state judges, it was written by highly regarded Eighth Circuit Chief Judge Richard S. Arnold and is likely to be followed by other courts. (Arnold didn't rule on the merits of the Carman case, and the company denies his allegations.) The little-publicized decision comes as a shock to many of the large companies with ombudsmen. Suddenly, many of the nasty secrets they may have in their files--which can include allegations of everything from sexual harassment to bribery to safety violations--could now be available to plaintiffs' lawyers and regulators.
"Any big company with one of these programs is almost certain to have some information that could be used against it," says Jeffrey M. Kaplan, a defense attorney in Manhattan who heads the Conference Board's business-ethics program. To take just one example, United Technologies Corp. is now facing a sexual-harassment suit in Florida from a former employee who is seeking an ombudsman's records. UTC declined to comment on the suit.
Ombudsmen, meanwhile, are concerned that the decision could cause some companies to shut down their departments. Not only is management becoming worried about litigation, but workers may be less likely to come forward with complaints if there is a chance their words will become public. "Without the privilege, it will be very hard for us to tell employees that there would never be retaliation against them," says Polaroid Corp. ombudsman Thomas Zgambo.
MILDER PENALTIES. The Carman decision troubles the many executives and corporate ethicists who have come to view ombudsmen as a valuable management tool. At a time when many companies are beset with employment litigation, ombudsmen can help head off potential harassment and discrimination suits, says Harvey Hinman, vice-president and general counsel at Chevron Corp. They also give employees a safe mechanism for blowing the whistle on violations from cheating customers to illegal waste disposal. "We want to give employees every opportunity to tell us about problems before they fester and possibly become legal in nature," Hinman says.
Ombudsmen are common in universities, hospitals, and government agencies but still relatively rare in Corporate America. But their growth has been fueled by the 1991 federal-sentencing guidelines, which give milder penalties to companies with antifraud programs. Since 1991, the number of corporate ombudsmen in the nonprofit Ombudsman Assn. has more than doubled to about 165, says Executive Director Carole Trocchio. They are concentrated primarily in large companies--such as American Express, Royal Dutch/Shell, Kodak, McDonald's, and Pharmacia & Upjohn--with thousands of potential employee problems.
Confidentiality has always been a core concern for ombudsmen. "The offices are typically located where people can come and go without being seen," says Sharan Levine, a Kalamazoo (Mich.) attorney who has represented the Ombudsman Assn. in the past. "Ombudsmen have separate phone and fax systems. Their files are under separate lock and key and cannot be entered by management. And their computer systems are encrypted so that people can't get into the files."
"POWERFUL STUFF." But none of these protections matters much without the ombudsman's privilege. The Carman opinion clears the way for regulators, employees, and management to interview ombudsmen and review their records--if the information is relevant to the case at hand. While the court recognized the value of permitting ombudsmen to keep their information secret, it wrote that this was outweighed by "the normally predominant principle of utilizing all rational means for ascertaining truth."
Plaintiffs' lawyers, unsurprisingly, are thrilled about the decision. Access to ombudsman records "can make or break some cases," says Lawrence Markowitz, former chair of the American Trial Lawyer Assn.'s employment-rights section. Many suits, for example, turn on how quickly a company responded to a problem. "The company says, `We didn't know about the issue until the person filed charges,"' Markowitz explains. "But then, say you get the ombudsman's notes and they prove that the company knew about it two years ago. That's pretty powerful stuff."
Many corporate ethicists and attorneys complain, however, that the Carman decision gives companies the wrong incentive. Rather than encouraging them to seek out internal problems and fix them, it punishes them for doing so. Indeed, the companies with the best ombudsman programs are likely to be the ones with the most dirt in their files. Instead of avoiding legal problems, as they intended, these companies could be facing scary new ones.

flooring installation
Can I put hardwood 3/4 inch over existing old hardwood flooring?
What's under it now?
Not sure, other then somehow you think it's to much work, that anyone would leave it in place.
By going over it you will have to deal with all the doors, door trim, baseboards, any built in cabinets being way off.
We have done it with no issues. I would however suggest taking up the old hardwood. If you go over it it would be hard to get rid of any squeaks in the existing floor and as the other person said, you would have to recut door jambs, and probably need to trim doors to make the height work. By taking up the existing floor you can then screw down the subfloor which will prevent a squeaky floor and make for a better finished product.

7mm Remington Mag Build HELP !!
First of all just want to says thanks for all the replies I got on my last post. This is what I am planning for my build. after a huge amount of deliberation I have decided on a 7mm Rem Mag. I have looked at the top BC of bullets sold by berger and sierra. The highest bullets are 7mm as compared to a .30 cal that's 210 grains. For this gun I am going to do long range shooting with it and also would like to hunt with it given the chance. So, my question is...have I made the right choice or should I just go with a .30cal like a .308 like everyone else or something else...thanks !!

Re: 7mm Remington Mag Build HELP !!
I don't think you can go wrong with either choice (within it's limitations of course); 7MM Rem Mag vs. .300 Win Mag. If BC alone is your deciding factor then IMHHO you're missing out on what what the heavier bullets has to offer.
It boils down to personal preference -- I like heavier bullets. Having said that, I prefer the .300 Win Mag pushing the .210, .215, or .230s Bergers over 7MM Rem Mag pushing the 180 Berger.
Good luck!

Re: 7mm Remington Mag Build HELP !!
I had the same dilemma a few years ago. I already owned the .300 Win. Mag. and decided to build a 7mm Rem Mag around the 180 gr. Bergers. Everything is great, but I could only get the 180's going 2850 fps. I could get over 3000 using Retumbo but my ES wasn't great. Then Berger came out with the 215's and 230's in 30 cal. I'm pushing the 215's at 2950 fps with an ES of 12 and great accuracy out to 600 yds. Haven't really tested past that. I went back to shooting the 168's in the 7mm because I can get over 3000 fps and 1/2 moa accuracy with single digit ES. I really like the "package" my 7mm is built on, but I tend to grab the 300 more often. In the end, you can't go wrong either way.

Re: 7mm Remington Mag Build HELP !!
I debated the same thing when I built my 7mm. The .284 180's (.345) have a higher BC than the .308 210's (.323). The 215gr are slightly higher (.356) and the 230 hybrids are really high (.380). I went with the 7mm because it was flatter and less recoil. I don't think you could go wrong with either choice. Both are fully capable of killing things to 1,000 yards if you are. I've also been very happy with my Shilen match grade select 27" barrel if you were debating what kind of barrel to get. If you do decide to go with the 7mm, I'd get a fast twist (1/8).

Re: 7mm Remington Mag Build HELP !!
A 7mm RemMag is more than capable of killing just fine at 1,000 yards. I've owned 4 of them, and still have 2 of them. Great caliber.
I also have a bunch of .30 cals, too...Including a biggin' (.300 Ackley Mag), based off an improved .300 Wby case that I shoot Berger 210's in. I also shoot 210's in my .308 Win, and 185 VLD's in my .30-06 AI.
Personally, I don't shoot any 180's out of my 7mm RM's, just the 168 VLD's... But I DO shoot 180's out of my 7mm STW, which pushes them right at 3,000 fps without any pressure signs. and stacks 5 inside of a dime.
You could always have your smith open up the chamber to 7mm STW for some extra oomph. Brass is more expensive than 7mm RM, but I personally think it's well worth it for long range. I've had my STW for over 12 years now, and it's never once let me down.

Re: 7mm Remington Mag Build HELP !!
I have went through this same converstation in my own head. I own a 7RM Sendero. Great gun. I am just finishing up a load with 180's so I am not sure what the velocity is gonna be at yet, but comparing to other people's velocities and my powder charge I should run in the 2900 area. I personally think the 300 win mag is kind like a 7RM with a happy ending. You get the added weight with the heavier bullets. Otherwise they tend to kinda be like brother and sister almost. The reason I still sit with a 7RM is some reasons kinda not related to ballistics. Reason 1) Even with the 180 hybrids seated almost to the lands, I can still fit them in the magazine. Not a big deal, but kinda nice for hunting jsut in case a follow up. Not that I really think it is faster than single loading another round, and not a deal breaker, but just kind of a perk. I think from what I have read, some of the longer 30 cal bullets will turn a factory rifle into a single feed unless using a different mag box, but really is dependent on the rifle most times. I am not sure if the 300 win mag falls in the category or not. Reason 2) Pretty reasonable cost to shoot. Brass is not terribly difficult to find one way or another. With that said, 300 win mag isn't hard to find or as expensive as some of the other more uncommon/larger calibers. 3) My other long range equipment doesn't really allow for super long range stuff, so if I had a bigger caliber, it wouldn't really matter if I could kill something at 1500yds. If I don't have a scope or rangefinder that makes this that much easier, then it doesn't matter.
I think both are great calibers. Can't go wrong with either. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. These are just the reasons I still keep my 7RM for the most part. If I was buying or building, I think I would bump up to the 300 but already owning the 7RM, I can't seem to tip the scale enough to make me get rid of it to have a 300 win mag.

Re: 7mm Remington Mag Build HELP !!
I think you made the right choice with the 7mmRM.
It's been my favorite chambering for a long, long time. It's not a one-size-killer-of-all-things-at-all-distances (nothing is really), but does a fine job on small to large-ish size game and from medium to longish ranges.
If you're only interested in the highest BC projectiles, it's important to not overlook the .30cal offerings. As previously mentioned, the 30cal also has high some high BC projectiles, but they are also scaled up in weight because the .30cal is a larger diameter (OK, I know that's kinda obvious...).
To get those .30cal high BC bullets to a higher velocity threshold (ie 3,000fps) without which their employment is questionable, you will have to use more powder and all of what comes with that. However, for that extra powder/recoil/muzzle blast you also get a commensurate increase in smack-down! This increase in velocity and smack down is often a welcome tradeoff for longer range hunting because of the wind-shedding properties inherent in the higher BC plus a higher retained on-target lethality.
For me (I already have a 7mmRM and it really is a great chambering), I've decided for my build to split the difference between the really big 7mm's (like the7mm Allen Mag, 7mm RUM, 7mm STW, etc) and will have a 7mm/300 Win mag chambering done.
Pragmatically, it really does come to what you plan on hunting at longer distances in conjunction with your personal comfort with engagements at those distances. Incidentally, that is an entirely different subject which is debated/discussed ad nauseam.

|how to delete if _id="" ?
|Wed, 28 Jul 2010 07:47:52 GMT
Hello, today I got a slightly funny problem. Creating a document using an update handler, I had the hope an _id would be crated if I dont provide one (similar to POST do the DB). This hope was in vain, so now I have one document with _id: "". (I did only once, because the second try gave an update conflict of course :) Futon doesn't give the possibility to open it (because a link text of length 0 doesnt make a link in the browsers I tested: Firefox, Opera, Crome), and I just can't imagine to curl it (curl -X DELETE http://locahost/sofa/ should rather delete the DB, right??). Any ideas? Thank you a lot & kind regards alux
