I don't want to insult the OP it's just a question of what he knows
about this poor woman (if she wasn't poor she would have a licence or driver).
If all that is known is that she hasn't got a driving licence I would
say that was a despicable reason for putting the bubble in for her.
Who else in the BR can remember bubble in that sense?

But most of these strongly legalist arguments are based on supposition of worst
case. It can happen. But how often does it?
I was just casting doubt on the wisdom or ultimate justice of reporting someone merely
for not having a driving licence. They might deserve a short sharp shock but they
might not. Any idiot can see that.
Any idiot can see that.
Surely "any idiot can see" that if someone has not bothered to take or could
not pass a driving test which is a basic test of skill ...

up to the complicated task of driving -

year before a re-test with about 20 certified lessons .
a good friend of mine murdered 22 people in cold blood last night ........
and what happens when she drives into the side of some pensioner's car and
has no insurance? Who pays the pensioner's repair bills?
All of you harsh legalists seem to make assumptions about the woman that aren't
supported by the facts given.

Please please don't anyone complain about rising insurance premiums thanks to the MIB
insurance companies won't pay out if you don't have a license
Best available rate 9.20%
Total repayment £9,304.93
Total cost of credit £1,804.93
60 monthly payments
Representative example
The Representative APR is 13.2% (fixed) so if you borrow £7,500 over 4 years at a rate of 13.2% p.a (fixed) you will repay £199.21 per month and repay £9562.20 in total.

I guess I hadn't realized just how differently we perceive this whole thing. I have been in charge of researching and implementing, but I thought I'd talked enough that he got the general idea--but I guess not the specifics. Ah well.
Deb, let us know how things go with your DS? What's made stimminess go up/down in the past for your DS? Seems like it's a clue as to what's being thrown out of whack, what nutrients are being used up, pathways strained. that this passes quickly and doesn't ever, ever escalate into a more serious reaction if/when he's stung again.
I finally figured out mayo tonight (yes, it has eggs - sorry folks, but it doesn't have any soy or corn in it, which all the store-bought mayos seem to have) and I made tuna macaroni salad (rice noodles). Yum. Yum. Double yum. It tasted... yes... NORMAL. I had 3 bowls of it. Tomorrow I'm going to make a salad and make thousand island dressing (homemade ketchup, my mother's homemade zucchini relish, and the mayo). I'm trying to think what else I can do with it, since it only lasts for 3 days. Maybe I'll make some bread so I can make a BLT or a cucumber sandwich (which will remind me of my Grandpa). I'm not feeling too creative these days; I have too much else going on in my mind.

Then there's exercise and emotional/mood support. Giving those their own categories really points out to me how much they've been on the back burner with all this. And if dh were in charge, they'd be the ONLY thing to work on. Now that the nutrition is somewhat settled, (and I'm still excited about my healing foods rather than eliminating foods plan) and now that dd is in a place where I can come up with ways to meet my needs for community and socialization, I'm excited to start working on those angles
Interesting - DS and I both have MAO+ genes, which Yasko handles with frequent low dose 5htp. We tried her compounded supp, just 5htp, theramood patch - all made me much moodier, and messed up DS in plenty of ways. DH pointed out to me that I choose to work at home (much less stressful for me than an office), I try to get sleep, I do yoga - for me, I have chosen a lifestyle, rather than supps, to handle that piece for me. How do we do that for DS? And the answer is pretty simple for him - let him be outside a lot, work damn hard to fix anything messing with his sleep, and don't overdo stressful environments. Some things, supps rock for. Others, not so much. Good for you for thinking of some of the pieces you've backburnered for a while.

Stayed with friends in Seattle for the third NYE in a row so I guess its become our tradition.
We cooked a fancy dinner, did a wine tasting and ate and drank and chatted till midnight.
My 5 year old conked out at 7:30 pm and my 7 year old stayed up to midnight watching a Dr Who marathon with the bigger kids.

Michael Brissenden presents AM Monday to Friday from 8:00am on ABC Local Radio and 7:10am on Radio National. Join Elizabeth Jackson for the Saturday edition at 8am on Local Radio and 7am on Radio National.
AM 40th Anniversary - a look back at the history of the ABC's agenda-setting morning radio program.
Thursday 18 July 2002
AM is Australia's most informative morning current affairs. It covers the stories each morning that the other current affairs teams follow for the rest of the day. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).
There's been a new and bloody challenge to any fledgling efforts at Israel-Palestinian negotiations, with a dual suicide bombing in Tel Aviv that has left around half a dozen people dead and up to thirty injured. The attack comes just a day after Palestinian militants ambushed a bus in the West Bank, killing eight Israelis.
The controversial former United Nations chief weapons inspector to Iraq has weighed into the frenzy of speculation about a possible new US attack on Baghdad, saying that there's absolutely no basis for it.
The ALP is offering the trade union movement a seat at the policy table in what will be seen as a trade off for winding back the unions' formal power at state and national Labor Party conferences.
A plan to scrap the National Crime Authority and replace it with a new Australian Crime Commission could be doomed, with the Federal Justice Minister, Chris Ellison, telling AM that his State and Territory counterparts are incapable of grasping what's needed to fight organised crime in Australia.
A test developed in the United States and being trialled in Australia has proven to be the most accurate method of detecting congestive heart failure. Study results published today in the New England Journal of Medicine show that the simple, 15 minute blood test correctly diagnosed heart failure in 83 per cent of cases.
It�s already an angst-ridden decision for many families and now there's more research to add to the difficult childcare decisions faced by working mothers. An analysis in the United States concludes that mothers who work full time, before their babies reach nine months, risk damaging the cognitive development of their children.
Tasmanian Liberal Opposition leader, Bob Cheek, says the election is about three things � jobs, jobs, and jobs in a State with an unemployment rate that is still two per cent higher than the national average. Mr Cheek joined AM on the phone from Hobart earlier this morning.
The temperature's increasing between Morocco and Spain, with the United States trying to intervene with phone calls to ease the stand-off over the tiny Mediterranean island of Perejil. Morocco has now accused Spain of gunboat diplomacy and says its decision to forcibly reoccupy the disputed outcrop is effectively a declaration of war.

Fast breathing can be from stress but a vet check would be good. Ask for the heartworm test.
Do not give him any opportunity to flee or hide as this will reward this behavior since it solves his problem.
Keep him leashed with you at all times until he no longer flees from you.
Crate him when you cannot spend time with him. Reward any initiative he takes, hand feed part of his food ratio.
Allow him to adjust to his immediate environment first. Once he is comfortable there, gradually expand his world. Do not forcefully socialize him with dogs, people or anything else that he cannot handle. Let him take the initiative to make contact.
Be calm and confident with him but do not baby him as to avoid feeding neediness.
Take your time, this can take months or he can be this way throughout his life, depending on his first months, temperament and genes. Accept him for who he is, he is one lucky dog.
|Cara Fusinato
|I would keep him inside 24/7 and crate, pen, or baby gate him into somewhere when you are gone -- whichever he handles best. No dog deserves to be just shoved outside at a doghouse. He's going in there because he is scared and that is the only small environment he can feel safe hiding in. An indoors crate with a cover would likely serve the same for him or under the dining room table. You need to give him time to adjust. He's been ripped from the only thing he knows and it can take 1-3 months or MORE for them to really settle in. He is not going to starve. Vet is a good idea too. Patient. Your reward when he comes around will be great. He was happy and confident in his old home (you saw) and he will be happy with you too given time to figure things out.
|Have you tried boiling some boneless chicken and feeding it to him from your hand?
Thanks for all your help.
I'm taking him to the vet on Thursday, just to make sure he isn't sick, or has any health issues.
I've noticed at night, he breaths really hard and rapid. Plus, he's not eating.
|Hi, I'll share what's worked for me with past shy rescues. For the first few days, I pretty much ignore the dog unless he comes to me. I don't try to call him to me, I put his food down and walk away and let him eat on his own time, and NO messing with him while he eats. I offer nice calm affection whenever he approaches me, but I pretty much leave things really really mellow, and I try not to get in the dog's space too much. When he starts to act more comfortable, I act more excited, gradually start getting the dog's attention and rewarding with food. Every dog is different with how long it takes them to feel comfortable. If he wants to stay in the crate, I let him until he wants to come out on his own. Maybe your dog would like a crate in the house, so he can get used to his new people in his own little dog cave! After he starts acting like a normal dog, I start with the NILIF so he gets the rules of the house! Good luck, and have fun!
No he doesn't live in the dog house. He just acts like he prefers to be there.
Every chance I've had I take him for a walk. He's had no training so I cannot leave him inside alone when I have to work.
He also seems like he has male trust issues. He acts like he likes me, but gets really skittish around my fiancé.
Is there some reason he can't be a house dog? GSDs thrive best that way, near their person. He can have outside time, but his living area should be where you are. He will bond with you much better that way.
|not to sound negative but is there any reason he's living in a dog house? is this a family pet or a working farm dog? pets should be treated like family members. the dog will never be normal living in a dog house.
|Oh, poor thing. It was a good idea to bring him in so he is around you most of the time. I would feed him just dry as normal and keep on with the high value treats to "lure" him to you. Is it just you in the home or are there others and if so does he react the same to them? In a few days he should be much better. Let us know.
I brought him inside last night, and he seems more calm.
But he's not eating all that great, and I can't leave him inside 24/7.
Should I mix a little can food with his dry?

According to new research from the Netherlands, large rooms make women feel more comfortable and allow her to open up more easily. The key to a successful date is sharing more information about yourself and large open spaces and/or high ceilings will make your date feel more at ease. The study showed that when asked personal questions (ranging from sexual behavior to substance abuse) people were about seventeen percent more likely to share their secrets and feelings in big spaces as opposed to small, cramped ones, because people feel less psychologically boxed in.

Brake Pad / Rotor Change
Anyone have a good write-up on how to change the brake pads and rotors on the 08 cts4? I'm going to be changing the brakes soon, anyone do it themselves yet? Will a C-Clamp do it to reset the piston onto the new pads or will i need some kind of special tool for that part? Anything I should be aware of before I change my pads/rotors out (I got all oem parts, j55 system)

Re: Brake Pad / Rotor Change
Not much to add other than I pulled the front rotors and pads on my 08'CTS4 about 8 months ago just after purchase to ensure everything looked ok.
Nothing different on these front brakes and any other GM product Ive worked on. simple pad removal and If memory serves it is a dual piston design ?
I did use the C-Clamp method to compress the pistons back and all was good.
It always amazes me the cost of brake jobs when people take their cars in for brake work. Its seems by the time their done, the shop has replaced the pads, rotors, calipers , etc. at a very high cost. Brakes at least on GM vehicles are very straight forward with minimal labor time involved.
Good luck but the fronts are a piece of cake.
Re: Brake Pad / Rotor Change
Yes it's dual piston design on the front calipers. I still need to get brake cleaner and grease for the job.
I'm not sure what the caliper bolts should be torqued too.. can't really find information on it

- As of July 2012, shadow inventory fell to 2.3 million units or six-months' supply and represented just over three-fourths of the 2.7 million properties currently seriously delinquent, in foreclosure or in REO.
- Of the 2.3 million properties currently in the shadow inventory (Figures 1 and 2), 1 million units are seriously delinquent (2.9 months' supply), 900,000 are in some stage of foreclosure (2.5-months' supply) and 345,000 are already in REO (1.0-months' supply).
- The dollar volume of shadow inventory was $382 billion as of July 2012, down from $397 billion a year ago and $385 billion last month.
- Serious delinquencies, which are the main driver of the shadow inventory, declined the most from April 2012 to July 2012 in Arizona (3.2 percent), Pennsylvania (2.8 percent), New Jersey (2.3 percent), Delaware (2.2 percent) and Maine (2.2 percent).
- As of July 2012, Florida, California, Illinois, New York and New Jersey make up 45 percent of all distressed properties in the country.
IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreLogic (NYSE: CLGX), a leading provider of information, analytics and business services, reported today that the current residential shadow inventory as of July 2012 fell to 2.3 million units, representing a supply of six months. This was a 10.2 percent drop from July 2011, when shadow inventory stood at 2.6 million units, which is approximately the same level the country was experiencing in March 2009. Currently, the flow of new seriously delinquent (90 days or more) loans into the shadow inventory has been roughly offset by the equal volume of distressed (short and real estate owned) sales. To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/corelogic/56987/ (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121009/MM81308LOGO ) CoreLogic estimates the current stock of properties in the shadow inventory, also known as pending supply, by calculating the number of properties that are seriously delinquent, in foreclosure and held as real estate owned (REO) by mortgage servicers but not currently listed on multiple listing services (MLSs). Roll rates are the transition rates of loans from one state of performance to the next. Beginning with this report, cure rates are factored in as well to capture the rise in foreclosure timelines and further enhance the accuracy of the shadow inventory analysis. Transition rates of "delinquency to foreclosure" and "foreclosure to REO" are used to identify the currently distressed non-listed properties most likely to become REO properties. Properties that are not yet delinquent but may become delinquent in the future are not included in the estimate of the current shadow inventory. Shadow inventory is typically not included in the official metrics of unsold inventory. "Broadly speaking, the shadow inventory continued to shrink in July," said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. "The reduction is being driven by a variety of resolution approaches. This is yet another hopeful sign that the housing market is slowly healing." "The decline in shadow inventory has recently moderated reflecting the lower outflow of distressed sales over the past year," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. "While a lower outflow of distressed sales helps alleviate downward home price pressure, long foreclosure timelines in some parts of the country causes these pools of shadow inventory to remain in limbo for an extended period of time."

" Brand: Ginsters / Type: Snacks "
I like all of the Ginsters range I have tried, and this is up there as 1 of my favourite. This doesn't seem to be as well sold at the Steak or Chicken ones, which is annoying, but when I come across these slices then I get a couple. They do for a nice hot lunch at work, or quick snack in the house.
I believe these cost around £1.40 per slice. They are quite large, wide and sort of thick as well, so it's an ok price in my view.
You can eat these hot or cold, but hot is certainly so much better. After all in this one the Cheese wouldn't melt if it wasn't hot. You can cook these in the oven which is probably best as the pastry goes all flaky, but that all takes time, so it's normally a Microwave job for me. Just 90 seconds makes this piping hot, with the inside cooked well. YEs, the pastry is soft, and perhaps that bit greasy, but it's ok once in a while. Just a bit like a Greggs Sausage Roll pastry.
There is a good amount of filling in here. Then again I would probably expect that since it says Deep Filled. The cubes of Ham are perhaps the odd bit fatty, but you don't tend to taste that with the generous amount of Cheese melted over the top. It is like a lighter Cheddar and the 2 flavours go together well.
Don't have 1 here with me just now, but the calories and fat aren't that good, but i'm sure you would expect that with the type of product this is.
A nice tasty snack on the go.
I love Ginsters cornish pasties but for my dinner today I had one of their ham and cheese slices and even though it was nice it wasn't worth the £1.89 I paid for it because it made me feel sick after I'd eaten it and I was starving half an hour later!
I had mine hot and it took 20 minutes in the oven, I could have nuked it but I don't like pastry products done in the microwave because they go too stodgy. You can have it cold as well but I don't fancy a chilled cheese and ham slice because the whole appeal of them is that the cheese goes hot and soft.
There's quite a lot of filling in this slice and I was happy about that because a lot of these slices are proper flat once they've been cooked. The pastry rises good and it looks nice and golden, when I cut through the pastry I saw straight away that it was nice and crispy because I got shedloads of flakes on my plate.
The cheese is creamy but the taste isn't very cheesy, it's very mild like a cheese sauce and not like proper cheese. I know it's a sauce anyway but I would have liked it to be a bit stronger in cheese flavour. There's quite a bit of ham in it and it's cut into thick slices that taste nice and meaty, I wouldn't say the whole slice tasted of ham because it was only when you happened to get a couple of pieces in your mouth with not too much pastry that you could taste it really.
It was nice but I probably won't bother again because the pastry is quite thick and it bloated me out, like I said though I did feel hungry again after a bit and ended up having beans on toast after trying to control my greed! lol
I dont tend to eat many of these type of ready prepared snacks, however today I was in a rush to make lunch for work and didnt have time to make my usual sandwiches so just grabbed what i could that was quick and easy out of the fridge, and this is what came to hand.
I do however think that this is the only good thing about this ham and cheese slice, the fact that it is quick and easy.
Firstly the price, although i have never bought one in the past I have regularly seen them at about £1.50, which for what it is I think is quite expensive, sometimes supermarkets will offer two for £1 which is obviosly a lot better, it just means that you have to work your way through two and not one!
Next, gthe product can be eaten hot or cold, as I didnt have an oven, I ate it cold, i do think though that you tend to buy this as a convienience food, and having to cook it in a way defeats the point of this. When i opened the package the top was all crumbly and made it very difficult to eat. Once i managed to get a decent amount in my mouth i may as well have not bothered. If you didnt know that it was a 'Ham and cheese' slice, you would struggle to guess what was in it. It tastes quite artificial and the ham is quite hard and tasteless and the cheese is quite strong but not too nice. Overall this mixture is a very stodgy mush!
I didnt expect too much from it, but i did expect it to taste half decent considering the price. My reccomendation would be to buy some sandwiches if your looking for a convenience food whilst out, at least you know what you are getting!
I'm not a huge fan of Ginsters stuff. I tend to feel bloated and a bit sicky after I have eaten them. But at least I know what I'm getting and they are widely available in convenience stores. Sometimes when I need to grab something, these are a tasty alternative to proper nutritious food!
You can have this hot or cold. They taste far better hot but I only ever eat them when I am in a rush so tend to have them cold. They aren't too bad cold, but the cheese goes runnier when you heat it. As a cold snack, the filling tends to be a bit thick.
The taste of the cheese and ham is both quite strong and quite artificial. It isn't great by any means. It is edible though and fills a hole. The pastry is nice. It's quite soft and thin, which I much prefer to thick or hard pastry.
The ginsters pasties tend to cost up to £2. This ham and cheese slice is slightly cheaper at about £1.70 or £1.80. Not too bad. Certainly cheaper than a sandwich and much more filling.
Not a bad snack to grab and go but don't expect miracles.
I have always regarded Ginsters as a rather expensive range of products and as such don't really buy their range of savoury snacks. However, the other day I was getting some petrol late at night and had a sudden craving for something like this. I saw this on the shelf and thought 'Why not?' It cost quite a bit, at £1.79 it's definitely not something I would normally go for. I understand thought that petrol stations are always more expensive than other places, so I imagine you can get this for under £1.50 elsewhere. Still expensive, but more bearably so.
I normally eat things like this cold, which is a benefit they have - you can eat them straight away or pop them in the oven for 20 minutes or so and eat them as a hot meal with some veg and potato in some form. I was too hungry to wait, adn as a I had bought it for its ease to eat straight away, I unwrapped it and hungrily started to devour it.
My experience of such dishes is limited to own brand slices where you normally get two slices for £1.50 or something. This was naturally more expensive and I only got one slice, so I was expecting something a bit better. And that is exactly what I got. The pastry covering the filling was soft and flavoursome, and contributed to the overall enjoyment of the product, but it was the filling that I enjoyed most.
The filling is more like a cheese sauce than cheese itself, with bits of ham mixed in. There is a decent portion of the sauce, and there is enough ham, whereas other products would only give you a couple of pieces of ham. The whole ensemble is quite filling, and where I would normally eat both of the slices with an own brand pack, I ate the whole of this one and felt just as full.
The only drawback with something like this is the nutritional content, I guess. There are over 500 calories in this one slice, and over 30g of fat as well. However, you should expect something like this to be high in calorific content and also fatty - it's part of having it.
Overall, I would give this product a thumbs up. It tastes good, and is very filling. I was impressed with the fact that it did have a lot of filling and wasn't mainly air as these things often can be. My advice is to buy this one slice as opposed to own brand packets which cost the same but have two slices - with Ginsters you get just as full and you get a better quality snack/meal.
I was waiting for my daughter to pick me up for a shopping trip when I suddenly came over starving so looked in the fridge for something quick as she was due in less than half an hour. I was about to settle for a cheese and onion sandwich when I noticed the Ginsters Ham And Cheese Slice that I'd bought for my granddaughter. I remembered her saying that they only take a few minutes to cook so decided to have this with a nice dollop of BBQ sauce.
20 minutes in the oven at Gas Mark 5 is all this slice takes and the smell coming out of the oven is mildly cheesy but not as noticeable as some of the other Ginsters products I've eaten recently, the best one smell wise obviously being their lovely Cornish Pasty which fills my kitchen with a spiciness that has me licking my lips in anticipation.
The slice itself is quite large and the pastry on the top puffs up well during cooking so that I needed a big plate, not the side plate I'd got ready because it definitely looks bulkier after I had cooked it. I was dismayed to see all the oil that had come out of this slice onto the baking tray but after I had blotted the slice with a piece of kitchen roll it didn't seem too greasy to the touch.
It's a very tasty snack though. The pastry is fairly light and it has cooked to a lovely looking golden brown. I can taste the greasiness in the pastry, but it's the same greasy kind of taste as you'd expect from a pork pie or similar and to be fair Ginsters aren't exactly known for their health foods are they so why would you expect to be eating a low fat product?
The filling is rich and generous. Like a thick cheese sauce rather than actual cheese, it has lots of large chunks of ham mixed in and together the two flavours are delicious. There is a tang to the filling which I believe comes from the use of a little mustard, but you cannot actually taste the mustard it's just a sort of awareness of it.
The ham is very fresh tasting and has a meatiness that I was not particularly expecting from a snack like this, it has a nice texture too and is much easier to chew than the ham in a cheaper Cheese And Ham Slice I sampled recently. The cheese used for the filling has quite a mild taste which I love, perhaps it could have been a little bit stronger but in this product I think it would be a fine line between 'just right' and 'too strong' and too cheesey would have definitely spoilt it so Ginsters obviously know what they're doing.
A word of warning, the filling in this slice gets extremely hot, as verified by the clouds of steam erupting from the holes on the top of my slice. If you are too greedy you will burn your mouth, it is as simple as that. I allowed mine to cool for five minutes before tucking in and it was still extremely hot but I had to risk a burned mouth as I was in a rush by then!
This is very filling indeed, I could only manage about ¾ of my slice and I was full up. I think this is because it's quite a stodgy food and this is probably because of how fatty and greasy it is. It's very nice though and I think if you had it with a jacket potato and a salad you could quite easily cut one slice in half and have it serve two people. It only cost £1.39 so not terribly expensive for something so tasty and filling.
The nutritional panel on the wrapper is rather terrifying if like me you are dieting and have succumbed to this slice. It's 180g and contains a staggering 512 calories and, wait for it, over 33g of fat! Yes, as I've said before it's quite greasy but I was still shocked at the high numbers! I haven't even bothered to work out the weight watchers points as the snack is well digested by now so why record it on my diet tracker to stress about every time I look at it until weigh day?

Brill and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina to Conduct an Arabic Texts Digitization Workshop
Next week, in the framework of celebrating the 400th anniversary of the Leiden chair of Arabic, Brill and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA) will conduct a training workshop on digitization of Arabic texts.
In the year 1613, Leiden University established one of Europe's very first chairs of Arabic Language and Culture. Its first occupant, Thomas Erpenius (1584-1624), laid out the rationale in his inaugural lecture 'Arab culture has a world of wisdom to teach'. This has defined the guiding principles of the study of Arabic at Leiden University ever since.
The Workshop continues this tradition and will be held in Leiden, bringing together participants from Lebanon, Turkey, Tunisia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Russia and various European libraries and institutes. The sponsorship of this workshop is an extension to Brill's rich quest to endorse the publishing of Arabic and Middle Eastern cultural content, which it has done since 1683. Brill has published hundreds of titles featuring the Middle East, Egypt and Islamic Studies, most notably the Encyclopaedia of Islam, the Index Islamicus and Middle Eastern Manuscripts Online.
Being the ambassador of promoting the Arabic language digitally, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina is keen to participate in this initiative which is in-line with its own mission and brings its well-forged expertise in the field of digitizing Arabic text into action. During the workshop, participants will be introduced to the latest digitization techniques developed at the BA through sessions on image processing and using optical character recognition (OCR) with Arabic texts, complemented by hands-on practical training.

Box Score | Quotes | Notes | PDF Box Score | Postgame Notes
C. Freeman 2
Jeronne Maymon led Tennessee with 18 points and pulled down nine rebounds, tying his career-high with eight field goals made (8-of-10 shooting).
The Vols have had six individual double-doubles in eight games this season after 10 in 34 total games in 2010-11.
Kenny Hall pulled down a career-high seven offensive rebounds.
Jeronne Maymon converted a game-high eight field goals, tying his career-best.
Tennessee matched its season-best with 19 offensive rebounds, also setting the figure against Memphis.
Tennessee scored 42 of its 70 points in the paint, outscoring the Govs 42-24 in that area.
KNOXVILLE -- Hot-shooting Austin Peay scored the game's final eight points and claimed its first-ever win over Tennessee, 74-70, Saturday at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Governors won for the second time in as many games after starting the season 0-9.
"Austin Peay did a good job of shooting the ball, especially in the second half," UT head coach Cuonzo Martin said. "(They scored) 27 points off turnovers and did a good job of speeding us up with pressure. We had six or seven unforced turnovers in the second half."
Tennessee (3-5) led by as many as 12 points in the second half and still owned a comfortable 64-53 advantage after Josh Richardson's driving layup with 6:27 remaining. But Austin Peay answered with a 9-0 run over the next 90 seconds and then closed the game with an 8-0 spurt to win for just the third time in school history against an SEC opponent.
Austin Peay entered Saturday 0-8 against Tennessee in the series dating to 1940.
"It was obviously a great game for us," Austin Peay head coach Dave Loos said. "This is really huge for us going forward. It's hard to explain. We had not been shooting it well."
But the Governors made 16 of their 22 second-half field goal attempts to finish the game a season-high 59.1 percent from the field (26 of 44).
Tennessee led 70-66 on Jordan McRae's right baseline jumper with 2:39 to play. Austin Peay then held the Vols without a point the rest of the way as Melvin Baker, Josh Terry and Tyshwan Edmondson hit key baskets.
All three scored in double figures, with Terry capturing game honors with 20 points. Edmondson added 19, Baker 10 and John Fraley 12 in his first action since suffering a concussion in the season-opener.
"It was really significant, just his presence out there," Loos said of his senior center Fraley. "I didn't think he could play that much, to be honest. We probably couldn't get much out of him tomorrow if we had to, but today was good."
Baker's 3-pointer from in front of the Austin Peay bench closed it to 70-69 with 2:08 remaining. After a Vols turnover, Terry made a driving layup off a nice dish from Edmondson to give Austin Peay its first lead of the second half, 71-70, with 1:05 to play.
Trae Golden and Cameron Tatum missed layup attempts for the Vols - the latter one blocked by Baker - before Edmondson connected on a one-handed jumper in the lane to make it 73-70 with 15.7 seconds left.
Golden's top of the key heave from more than 20 feet was off the mark and Terry added the closing free throw.
"Hopefully, it's a wakeup call," Martin said. "I don't think they overlooked a team. I thought we played well in spurts but we didn't play as well as a team on both ends of the floor."
Jeronne Maymon led the Vols with 18 points, 14 of those coming in the opening half. McRae added 14 and Kenny Hall 12 to go with a game-high 10 rebounds.
"Kenny was having a good game," Martin said. "He was really assertive and aggressive, and it was good to see him have back-to-back double-figure rebound (games). Jeronne played well in spurts, especially scoring and rebounding. Those two guys played really well together."
Tennessee made just nine of 16 free throw tries and finished 46.7 percent (28 of 60) from the field. But UT made only five of 19 attempts from the 3-point arc. Tennessee finished with a 34-24 overall rebounding edge, but the Vols' 17 second-chance points in the opening half shrunk to just four in the second 20 minutes.
Austin Peay was five of eight from 3-point distance and connected on 17 of 22 free throws.
Tennessee's next game is Wednesday at the College of Charleston (9 p.m., ESPN2). The Vols return home Dec. 20 to face UNC Asheville (7 p.m., SportSouth).

here is the scoop
i had this issue for years now and its never gotten any worse or better. its finally so annoying i cant take it anymore. ive posted on this a few times before with no feedback.
when in neighborhoods or downtown in the city, when acellerating in 2nd say about 33-50% throttle low rpms about 2000-3500 i get this annoying light buck, hesitation, buck, hesitation.
its not abrubt at all, its quite benign, but it is noticeable and it can be quite annoying especially when I feel 'sporty' but it feels like the car is holding itself back.
best i can describe it, is when the traction control kicks on/off quickly but with no indications.
my two theories i dont know how to verify are:
1. the throttle butterfly is fluttering when this happens
2. the variable intake switch flap is fluttering when this happens
or 3. a combo of both?
im tempted to just chip the computer and see if that helps

I have a buddy in Georgia who has an 18 year old son. His son (I will call him Jim for this post) has been into hunting, fishing, outdoor sports all his life. The boy can shoot. I've seen a video of him taking out a milk jug from a half mile away with an AR (I believe it was an AR). He was home schooled.
Anyway... he has been attending the Regional Police Academy in his area. When they first started, the rest of the guys in his class, some whom are jailers and already in law enforcement, gave him a hard time. The instructor told him that they have "never" had an 18 year old to graduate.
It was rough for him the first week. He had to retake one of the tests and it kinda made him feel like he wouldn't make it. Then came range day.
He didn't even use his own weapon, and shot a 300. They told him that only 3 people have ever done that. He was the third. He took "Top Gun" for his class.
The guys started treating him differently after that. Anyway, few more weeks of class, he has made it through with no problems and is now the first 18 year old to be graduating from that Police Academy.
He has a good head on his shoulders. I'm real proud to know him and I know he will make a good cop.
I just wanted to share this with the forum.

Wow. An 18 year old LEO? Huh. I always thought that 21 was the minimum age? Sounds like a good guy though, and wish him the best with his new career!
Smaller towns and villages will sometimes hire an LEO at 18; he'll probably have to volunteer his time in exchange for experience and holding his commission until he is 21.

Sounds like he did a good job at the Academy. I seriously doubt, however, that an 18 year old has the maturity or experience to be an LEO. JMO.
I was a reserve constable at 18. The running joke was that if we had to check out a bar, I'd have to wait outside.
Wish him all the best from me.

Good for him...as a juvenile/adult probation officer, I dont run in to many juveniles/teenagers that I have hopes for changing the world in a good way. Good to see one who may.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
Don't know how he ranked in class but scored high 80s on most his tests, and was in the running for top cadet. His credentials and application are headed Monday to the Sheriff for consideration. Being delivered by a friend who is on the force. The Sheriff had already heard of his range score and made the comment to let him know how he finishes. Looks like he may have a job with his local Sheriff's office by the end of next week.
Sixto, this is not a small town or village. One of the largest metropolitan cities in Georgia and a county Sheriff's office.
He has bigger goals. This for him, is just a foot in the door.

Difference between .38 and .380 ACP?
What is the difference between .38 caliber and .380 ACP? And is it possible to 'trade' ammo between guns? (Like, if you have a .380 ACP can it shoot standard .38s?)
Thanks for your help guys!!!
yes, there is a big difference and no, they are not interchangable. Mr. Camp has a nice write-up on capabilities. Look at the pics of both, the difference will be obvious.
Great article, but that's more of a comparison between .380 and .38 Special.
What about standard .38 and .380?
Thanks for the help though
Re: Difference between .38 and .380 ACP?
Hello Mike,
The simple answer to your question is NO they are not in anyway interchangable. A 38 spl. cartridge is typically a revolver cartridge, and is considerably longer and wider than a .380 acp cartridge which is often refered to as a 9mm Kurtz or Corto (Which means short).
A .380 acp is actually very close (but shorter) in size to a 9mm cartridge. While it is NOT reccomended, a .380 acp cartridge can be fired from a 9mm handgun, however there will likely not be enough energy to function the slide, therefore it should not be tried as this action can cause jams and potentionally other damages to occur to the weapon.
A 38 spl. cartridge, is however interchangeable with a 357 Magnum weapon (Usually a revolver) (However some semi-automatics are currently available), and can be safely fired through them. The difference between the two is again the height of the case and the powder charge contained therein.
I hope this helps.

380 ACP is "standard" 380.
I think maybe he means the difference between a .380 ACP and a .38 Super.
I think he is referring to another post with an old Beretta Autoloader in "38"...
I think we need more details as to the actual chambering...
carrying right now: S&W 642 Airweight or Kimber BP Ten II.
In Progress: Stripped Bushy Lower waiting for an Identity.
Others: Kimber Custom Eclipse II, Springfield Defender, Para-Ord P12, Bushmaster Bullpup, DPMS Bull Classic...etc.
Ok...First, I apologize for the confusion on this!! I really don't know much about this stuff other than my trusty Colt .45, but I'm trying to learn
Let me see if I can clear this up any....
As far as I can tell, there are only two sizes of .38 caliber pistol bullet. There is the .380, and the .38 special. Is this correct?
Here's the story,
After a visit at the local Walmart, I saw that there were only two sizes of .38 available... a 'standard' .38 (which I'm assuming is the .380 ACP) and the .38 special. The special is the longer of the two (which fits in my Smith .38 special gov't issue), and the other .38 is much smaller of a bullet...only maybe 2/3 the length of the .38 special, which seems to fit my Beretta 1934. My only question is if this is the correct ammo for the Beretta, since it would make an ideal ccw gun. If you want to see pics, look at the post in this forum started by me and titled "What Beretta is this?" (or something like that)
Again, I greatly appreciate all the help (and patience!!) you all are showing.
Thank you so much!!!!!!
Don't take this the wrong way.......
But....if you have to ask what ammo at walmart goes in your pistols, you need some SERIOUS instruction in the use and handling of firearms!
"Life is a waiting game. You wait to be Born, wait to Die and wait for everything in-between".
well, I have a fairly thorough knowledge of the basics, but this one perticular gun is causing me confusion. If it helps, I'm NRA certified in pistol. I'm not afraid to learn though, which is why I'm asking.
By the way, what's the deal with P-51? Do you like the airplane or something? Just wondering why your screen name is that.
The Beretta 34 is chambered in .380 ACP, aka 9mm Kurtz and 9mm Corto. I have a 34 that I inherited from my father, and he used it as a carry gun when travelling. I don't like that the safety has to be swung through a 180 degree arc to disengage; not very quick or easy.
There is also a .38 ACP, and a .38 Super; both auto pistol cartridges that are not interchangeable with .380. Of course, there are LOTS of ".38" caliber rounds, most of which are actually closer to .36", but the most common in the U.S. are .38 Special for revolvers, and 9mm Parabellum. Foreign ".38s" include 9x18 Makarov, 9mm Bergmann-Bayard, 9mm Largo, .380/200, 9mm Japanese Service Revolver, and on and on.
If you're not shooting you should be moving. If you're not moving you should be reloading. If you're not shooting, moving, or reloading, you should be taping or picking brass. - Z.C.
Most peeps do not know that the original prototype designers of the Mustang had the P-51 Mustang in mind when they designed it. The Marketing peeps are the ones that actually called it a "Pony" car and hence the Mustang Horse was chosen in place of the airplane.
So, P-51 Bullitt = Mustang Bullitt

Does anyone remember the revolver from France that had multi-caliber ability? It would fire a number of different rounds. It might be an interesting thing to have to shoot up odd-ball ammo that keeps creeping into ones shooting bag.
When I was in Vietnam I asked my mother to send me 25 rounds of .38 Special ammo. When the box from home arrived with the rounds neatly wrapped as candies on top of the cake I noticed right away that they were a tad short. Upon opening the "candies" I discovered that the ammo was actually .38 Super and not .38 Special.
When I had an occasion to go to our HQ near Saigon I went to the airstrip and hitched ride on a C-123 cargo plane. The A1C who was the crew chief was carrying a semi-auto Colt that looked like a .38 Super. I asked him and he said it was and that he was having a tough time finding ammo for it. I opened my musette bag and showed him the 25 rounds that I had. He did a quick canvas of the pilot and co-pilot and when we landed at Ton Son Nhut airfield the trade was made. Both pilots were carrting 4 inch .38 Special revolvers. I had a model 40 hammerless S&W 2 inch.

I remember a LLAMA Auto that would shoot two calibers, although I do not remember what calibers they were.
"Life is a waiting game. You wait to be Born, wait to Die and wait for everything in-between".
.38 special fires a .357" diameter projectile and has a rimmed case, suitable to using in revolvers.
.380ACP bullets are the same as 9mm, I believe, which is .355. .38 super, which is basically a longer, stronger cased, semi rimmed, 9mm cartridge uses .356 or .355 bullets (I THINK. This is the favored competition cartridge in open division in IPSC and the different sizes allow you to perfect your loads to your gun.)
if i were in your shoes, i would take the pistol to a local gun shop or pistol smith and ask them face to face about the pistol and the correct ammo for it. having the firearm in thier own hand may help clear up any confusion and they will more than likely be able to SHOW you the differences in the different rounds and how they should and should not fit the chamber. i know i myself have a hard time understanding written instructions sometimes until i actually watch the process or do it for myself once or twice but in the case of a firearm i've always found it to be a wise idea to err on the side of caution. i would also call beretta directly and get any info i can from them such as date of manufacture, possibly an instruction manual for that model, availability of parts and whatever else they have to offer. if you want to use this as a carry gun then all this info may be very handy some day.
If you go back a little ways, you'll find a plethora of ".38" caliber cartridges.
The .38 Smith & Wesson is probably the 'standard' .38. Then the .38 special came out as sort of a 'magnum' version, before the term was used. Then the .38 Special was made into a 'magnum' version, called the .357 Magnum.
But way back, there's also .38 Colt, .38 Long Colt, .38 Super, .38 Automatic.
There's some other 'cowboy' cartridges even older, that escape me at the moment.
At least a couple of these were GI issue, but I also forget which ones at the moment. But it was the one used in the Spanish American war, that was ineffective against the Moros, that prompted the return to the .45 caliber, which resulted in our beloved .45 ACP.
So, sorry, but I don't think there is a "standard" .38 caliber cartridge.
Right now, I'd say, by far, the most popularly used, and the most manufacured, .38 caliber, with .38 in the name, would be the .38 Special, with .380 Auto, and .38 Super right behind. (Not counting 9mm because it doesn't have '.38' in it's name; obviously it is the most widely used cartridge with this bullet's diameter.)
I have the book at home, I could look some up for you, or you could try an internet search, and find out most of this.
Confusing isn't it. You might be interested to know that the bullets from all of these ".38s" which are very close to .357" diameter can be fired in any of these guns. By bullets, I mean the projectile part of the cartridge that goes out the barrel when fired. For instance, take a .38 special case, size and deprime it, add a new primer, a little powder (very little actually, anywhere from 2.8 to about 11 grains of various powders--ya gotta get this from a reloading manual), and seat the bullet pulled from any of the .38s, and you can fire it safely in a .38 special or .357 magnum.
Somebody came out with a revolver called the "millenium" thad had gizmos to hold the various auto cartridges in 1999 that could fire almost any of a dozen or so ".38" cartridges that was supposed to outfit the sirvivalist against Y2K ammo shortages. It was Ruger, S&W or Taurus I think--anybody remember this?
Hi Mike,
A "bullet" is the missile, or projectile only. A "cartridge" is the whole unit of assembled ammunition - case, powder, primer, and bullet. And "caliber" refers to the diameter of the projectile (bullet) or the approximate diameter of the bore of the gun. There is a lot of confusion with those three words - bullet, cartridge, and caliber. The confusion can sometimes overwhelm a newcomer, especially when you consider that at Walmart you can probably find at least 4 different types of .38 caliber cartridges - .380 ACP, .38 Super, .38 Special, and .357 Magnum. I'm not sure, but you might be able to find even more than that. And to make the confusion even worse, not a darn one of the cartridges I named are a true .38 caliber - they're actually only .35 caliber - that's why a .38 Special will work in a .357 Magnum.
You said you understand your "Colt 45." If you'll look at Walmart for cartridges to use in your Colt 45, you'll probably find at least 3 types of .45 caliber handgun cartridges. One will be the .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol), another the .45 Colt, and the third will be the .454 Casull. I'm not sure which cartridge is right for your handgun, but as you'll quickly notice, the .45 ACP is an entirely different cartridge than the .45 Colt, and the .454 Casull looks like an extended .45 Colt. However, all three cartridges are the same caliber - .45. Furthermore, which one is a "regular" .45? Beats me. But I'll bet the .45 caliber cartridge most often refered to in this forum is the .45 ACP.
I hope I haven't muddied things up even more for you. One of the best souces of information like this I know of is Frank Barnes's book, "Cartridges Of The World." You can find it at most stores that sell a lot of ammunition and reloading supplies, or at amazon.com. Sometimes us old guys, who have been around different guns and ammunition most of our lives, tend to use words like caliber, bullet, and cartridge as if everyone should know what we're talking about. I suppose it's not much different than my wife (a computer whiz) trying to teach me about this computer. When she does, we usually end up in a shouting match. I just don't get it - why is it alright for her to say things like "click on that," when she means "DOUBLE click on that?"

the only revolver i can think of like that was the medusa which was a foriegn made gun, i never did see or hear much about it other that a quick description in some gun rag a few years back, although i'm not positive that i'm not confusing it with the mataeba auto revolver either. they were both pretty rare and details were rather obscure in my neck of the woods.
Probably just more confusion for Mike, but the Medusa multi-cartridge revolver was a US design and product. Phillips and Rogers started out making gimmick conversion cylinders for Smith & Wesson but then went to building whole guns. Gary Reeder has something similar now.
Korth and Manhurin make .357 Magnum revolvers with 9mm Para cylinders available.
Thanks for all the help guys!! I really appreciate it!!
As for my so called quest...I took my gun into the local gunsmith/shop, and he took a look at it and told me that it is a Beretta 1934 model that takes the .380 ACP rounds. I got a box of 50, but it's well below freezing outside, so I may wait to try out this gun I also have a Smith .38 special, and once I saw the rounds for the .380, I had it all figured out
Thank you everyone for the information...it came in handy!!
Blondie...you're correct on my .45. It's a USGI Colt .45, and it takes the standard .45 ACP rounds. I use either Remington or Winchester (which ever one is cheaper) and they both work fine. I also have a Firestorm .45 Govt which takes the same rounds.
As for the .38 vs. .357 debate, you're correct to say that the size of the bullet is the same, but from what my ccw instructor taught me, the main difference is the amount of powder behind the bullet. The .357 has more powder, which increases the muzzle velocity of the round. For this reason, it is ok to shoot .38 bullets out of a .357, but not the other way around, because most .38 guns are not built to handle the increased stress the .357 puts on the gun itself. Make sense?
Well....from that report you have already learned a lot! Yes, all you say is correct.
Now Guys.......
This got me to thinking about that LLAMA Auto that shot two calibers......I cannot remember what they were, but I can only assume that it was .38 Super and 9mm. Am I correct?
And if I am correct, can we shoot 9mm in a new Colt .38 Super?
(I don't consider this as hiacking this thread, as the topic of the original poster has been resolved).

The Astra 400 had more of a reputation for handling different cartridges than did the Llamas or Stars. They were made for 9mm Largo (9x23 Spanish, 9mm Bergman-Bayard) but would handle .38 Auto (NOT .38 Super, this is a blowback action) if you got one with the breechface wide enough for the semirim, and sometimes 9mm Para. Not always, the late Maj George C. Nonte once did an article showing what could go wrong.
Some Stars were marked 9mm/.38 but that meant 9mm Largo not Parabellum, and .38 ACP not Super. .38 Auto or ACP was the original 1900 round for the old twin link Colt/Browning guns. In 1925 they increased the chamber pressure by more than half again and chambered the Government Model for it under the name of .38 Super. The outside dimensions are the same, the loadings are very different. The Spanish ".38" marked guns are made for the older less powerful cartridge.
I dunno about Llamas.
9mm Para will go way down in the chamber in my Colt .38 Super barrel. It might headspace on the extractor and shoot almost normally but it might not. It could get ahead of the extractor and still fire due to the long firing pin protrusion of a 1911, that is one problem Nonte had with the Astra and it led to fireworks with blown caseheads.
Best not to improvise unless you are stranded way away from correct ammo and in a life and death situation.

Baja California, Mexico
Think of it as Baja beyond fish tacos. There's some excellent wine now, too, as producers experiment with lesser-known grape varietals such asTempranillo. Better yet, it's easy to get here, since 90 percent of Mexican wine comes from Baja's emerging wine country, only about 70 miles from the California/Mexico border. The self-guided, easy-to-navigate winery route, La Ruta del Vino, includes about 20 wineries.

Tax time: What to do with that refund?
Bend financial advisor offers advice
BEND, Ore. - It's tax season, which means many of you are sitting down and preparing to file your income tax returns. For some, that means sending in a check with your paperwork. For others, it starts a countdown until they get their tax refund.
Filing your taxes is now easier than ever, but one hard decision still remains: what to do with that refunded money?
"Everybody's different -- you know, everybody's in a different financial place," said certified financial planner and financial advisor Ed Wettig. "But I would always suggest that you give that refund a purpose from the start."
Wettig says the purpose of your refund should be based on where you're at financially, but there's one priority he believes everyone should have.
"Everybody, regardless of your age, should have an emergency fund," Wettig explained.
Wettig said an emergency account should equal three to six months or more of living expenses. It should be in an account you can access quickly, and without a penalty. He says if you already have an emergency fund, the next priority would be to look at your debt.
"You might want to look at paying off some high-interest credit cards, car loans or just small balances to get, to streamline your credit profile," said Wettig
For those with no debt, and who already have an emergency fund in place, Wettig recommends putting your return toward something that will pay off long-term.
"Might be a home remodel, or redo your kitchen -- lets say that will help the value of your house when you go to sell it," said Wettig. "Short term, you know you can take yourself to dinner, but you know that's a short-lived treat."
If you are receiving a refund you can track it at http://www.irs.gov/Refunds/Where's-My-Refund-It's-Quick,-Easy,-and-Secure

Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) has quietly migrated Instagram and its 20 billion photos from Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) cloud computing service to its own data center. The transition took about a year in planning and a month for the actual migration, and Instagram's 200 million users didn't notice a thing.
Wired reports that the company calls the transition the "Instagration," and the migration was unlike any that Facebook had previously undertaken. In moving other properties that it had acquired, like FriendFeed, Facebook was able to shut down the service before migrating it to its own data centers.
But moving Instagram, which Facebook bought in 2012, was a much bigger operation. The process involved moving the service from thousands of virtual machines on Amazon's cloud computing service, where it was originally built, to a private data center operated by Facebook, all while avoiding disruptions to a service used by 200 million people. According to Wired, the move gives Instagram access to the wide range of software tools built into Facebook's infrastructure.
The migration sets the precedent for the potential integrations of apps and services that Facebook may acquire in the future. In simple terms, the Instagration was made possible by an Amazon service called the Virtual Private Cloud, which enabled a 20-person team to effectively make a copy of Instagram's underlying software at the Facebook data center. Once that copy was in place, the team was able to use a private network that included the entire data center, plus the Instagram operation on Amazon's cloud, to securely transfer the data.

To be honest, these no longer look that good to me after reading this review, haha. For hardcore gamers, sure, I guess it has its use, but when it can't do OTHER things that well, it's kind of a turn-off. For $300, you can get a sweet set of Beyerdynamic cans or something that will be well-rounded for any purpose. Or Ultrasone for that matter (and yeah, I guess Sennheiser).
That said, I do find the design of these to be incredibly interesting, and I give Psyko credit for that. But for $300, that's a very hard price tag to stomach. It's not as though extreme engineering went into each one of the drivers... just the placement of them it seems.

Friends and Fellow Utahns
In my remarks I cannot hope to match the beauty of voice we have just heard but I do hope to draw from the inspiration of today's music to share some thoughts with you about the future of the state I love.
First, however, I wish to thank our Inaugural Committee and the National Guard and Reserves, under General Tarbet's leadership. The Guard has never been stretched this thin in the history of our state and we honor their service in particular today. To our men and women in uniform we offer our most heartfelt gratitude.
For me, this day is both exciting and humbling-humbling because today I assume an office that has been held by so many great leaders who have gone before me. I will strive to the best of my ability to always remember the lessons and contributions of our former governors.
I particularly will remember the help that Governor Walker provided to make this such an efficient transition. Thank you for your years of service to a grateful state.
Most importantly, I want to acknowledge my wife Mary Kaye, our six children, and all of my family here today. Thank you for believing in me and seeing me through to this day. I love you all very much.
If I had listened to my mother as a young boy and paid more attention to music lessons, I might now have my back to you conducting Rachmaninoff's 3rd Concerto with the Utah Symphony. But like the great Maestro Abravanel, after whom this magnificent building is aptly named, I now have a similar - some would say sacred - obligation to conduct a different symphony - one with many voices and competing interests - that is performed by the most unique orchestra this world has ever known - American Democracy.
As Governor, I will work to ensure as Maestro Abravanel did that there is balance among the sections: the brass, the percussion, the strings of this orchestra that is our ever-growing and complex society.
To those who have grown tired and cynical, to those of the emerging generation who think political activism is extinct, I stand before you in the pure spirit of public service - not as a protector of the status quo, but as an agent of change. I stand before you with a burning desire to prove an often forgotten point - that public service is noble, honorable, and in need of greater trust and confidence by you.
Our system relies on each succeeding generation making a sacrifice in the name of service. As a newcomer to elected politics, I ask for your confidence, I ask for your goodwill, I ask for your friendship and your ideas. Will I make mistakes along the way? Unquestionably. Will I occasionally need forgiveness and understanding? Absolutely. What I can promise each of you is my very best.
During the last year and a half, I have been exposed to great ideas generated at the localist of levels, by acquaintances old and new, and by perfect strangers who care deeply about a better tomorrow.
I sometimes felt like Alexis de Tocqueville in 1831 as he discovered the soul of America. Only in my case, I discovered the heart, mind and soul of the greatest people on Earth who proudly call themselves citizens of the greatest state in America.
You are the people I have been elected to lead - and I do so with deep humility and an enormous responsibility-not to let you down - but I will lead and I will take an occasional risk. We live in an era in which taking no risk is sometimes the biggest risk of all. As Fred Wilcox used to say, "You can't steal second base while keeping your foot on first."
We are all here because of those who came before us: most of us are a generation or two removed from the land, but we share a common heritage with those who farmed land not fit for farming, built magnificent structures with only their hands and hearts-and risked their lives in dangerous mines so that their children could have a better life.
We owe a great debt to our ancestor immigrants - whether they came in 1847 or like my in-laws during the last generation. They're the ones who built Utah's infrastructure and left us a remarkable legacy.
In my own family, I have war veterans and teachers; public servants and private business owners; proselytizers and saloon keepers. Regardless of our origin or family background, we as Utahns share an undeniable bond - a link to our past - something that gives us purpose and a living frame of reference.
It is the reason we name our children after our grandparents. It is the reason we keep family businesses intact through the years. It is the reason I chose to use my grandfather's Bible as I took the Oath of Office this day. We all long to stay linked to our past because it defines us.
The histories of our ancestors are filled with countless stories of courage and faith and an indomitable will to embrace change rather than be defeated by it. Their contributions echo off canyon walls and down city streets, across wind-swept dunes and over snow-covered peaks. They speak to us through the years from the lonely expanse where once a golden spike united an entire continent, and down the information highway that will continue to impact our lives in ways we cannot fully comprehend.
As Utahns, we are all defined by hard work, strong morals, and love of state, but I fear we are losing one trait that our forbearers found indispensable - the ability not to fear change - for with change comes progress and opportunity.
To contemplate the changes experienced by recent generations is overwhelming; because our preceding generations knew no fear, look at the marvelous things they accomplished in just the span of last century.
My recently deceased Grandmother Ruby went from horse and buggy-to the automobile-to the airplane-to seeing a man walk on the moon-to the development of a microchip that can hold the history of all these events in an area smaller than a pinhead.
As Governor, I will not allow us to lose the valuable lessons from generations past. This state was built on opportunities - the rugged individuals who put progress before self...who took extraordinary risks...and who ventured eagerly into new frontier territories all in the name of a better tomorrow.
This same spirit is at the very core of who I am and what will define my administration. We will not fear change. We will embrace opportunity.
And so we stand here today emboldened by the past and committed to the future. Like my ancestors, I will seek opportunities for Utah. My administration will deliver innovative and novel approaches for creating jobs and expanding our economy. This will be my single-minded resolve because so much - educating our children, providing health care for all Utahns, and paying for badly needed improvements to our infrastructure - depends on a viable economic base.
But in getting there, let me promise you this: my proposals will not be influenced by personal ambition or political need. It has often been said that political power is finite - that is the more you use, the less you have. If that is true, whatever political capital I now possess will be used for the good of this state.
And if at the end of four years the bank is empty, but the economy is stronger, I will be grateful. If at the end of four years our children have more money for books and our teachers are better paid, I will be satisfied. And if at the end of four years we have provided the infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of the next generation, I will consider my tenure a success.
My father, one of the great entrepreneurs and philanthropists of this state, taught me that capital, monetary or political, is to be used to benefit others. I intend to continue that tradition.
Utahns are tremendous workers, innovators and visionaries. We are linked not only to our past, but just as importantly to our future - to our children. Our time is today, but the impact of our actions will truly be felt tomorrow. We provide the door through which the traditions, accomplishments, and vision of our forbearers will pass to our grandchildren and beyond.
Call me an optimist, but that is exactly what I am.
I see our world more interdependent and opportunity rich each day.
I see our country as one that is still the land of the free and the home of the brave.
I see our state leading other states in new advances in areas such as biotechnology, aerospace, communications, high technology and travel and tourism. - I see our local communities flourishing under our new economic revitalization plan.
I see our children with unprecedented opportunities to remain in a state they love.
I see our lives as being better tomorrow for our hard work and action today.
The nay-sayers will say it can't be done - "we can't afford it. - "The legislature won't work with you"-or "Washington won't pay attention." To them I say; stand aside and let those who believe lead out.
Remember the desert basin that would never blossom like a rose? Remember the Olympics we were never supposed to win? Remember the human genome project that would never be completed? Remember the citizen army called the National Guard that was never supposed to straddle two simultaneous conflicts? Remember the Utah Football Team that wasn't supposed to survive an undefeated season?
My desire is to usher in an unprecedented period of cooperation and community building. People reaching across boundaries-be they religious or race-political or geographic-a state that is truly civil and respectful for each individual's pathway toward life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness must be our hope.
It must be clear that although our defining roots may be different, they need not divide us. A fundamental aspect of my administration will be to eliminate divisions by creating a common destiny. The best way to bring people together is by developing ways to work together and by doing so we learn that our differences are not always as great as we might imagine.
May we remember that all hearts beat alike and yearn for the same wants and desires - education, jobs and a secure environment-regardless of our point of origin. Our new Administration's theme suggests "A New Day for Utah". The words I have imparted today represent that noble expression.
I call upon all Utahns to place state before self - to fully appreciate our increased diversity because by it we are strengthened. In life we will have our differences, but with it must come greater appreciation and respect for those differences. This is after all, the American Dream and we must continue to ensure it remains the Utah Dream.
God bless America and God bless Utah.

State Says It Was "Mistake" To Ban American Flags
The Mass. Dept. of Housing and Community Development said it was moving to rectify what it call a "mistake" after residents of a public housing complex to were ordered remove their American flags.
The Wrentham Housing Authority taped letters to apartment doors on Wednesday informing them that the public display of American flags in common areas would no longer be allowed.
The ban was implemented because another resident said they did not like the American flag being located in a common area of the grounds.
"Wrentham Housing Authority has been informed that the public display of the American flag in common areas is not permitted," the letter read. "As a result, all American flag displays must be restricted to the interior of your apartment."
However, the Dept. of Housing and Community Development told Fox News Radio they had no knowledge of the controversy – and backtracked after word of the ban leaked to local media.
"We were not aware of this decision when it was made, and it was a mistake that is being corrected immediately," said Jason Lefferts, a spokesman for the state agency.
Lefferts told Fox News Radio that state policy does not allow private material to be displayed in public areas. However, there is an exception for American flags.
The ban, he said, "does not extend to respectful and safe displays of the American flag."
U.S. Senator Scott Brown, who is from Wrentham, issued a blistering statement saying he was "deeply disturbed to learn of this misguided decision."
"Our flag stands for freedom, and is a symbol of sacrifice made by our servicemen and women to protect the liberties we enjoy today," Brown said. "Flying the American flag should never be controversial and no citizen should ever been prevented from doing so."
"I'm absolutely livid," said Jeff Katz, the morning talk show host at Boston's Talk 1200."Why should we allow one loud mouth in the public housing project to say there will be no display of American flags? We ought to be able to stand up and fight back."
Katz said the station's telephone lines were jammed with callers outraged over the story.
"This is a huge issue," he said. "They are ready to mobilize. We're trying to get American flags into the hands of everyone at that apartment complex that wants them –encouraging them to stand up and say God bless America."
The Sun Chronicle newspaper reported that at least one resident has decided to defy state orders.
"I've always had a flag," said 82-year-old Barbara Marshall. "I'm very upset."
Marshall, whose brother participated in the D-Day invasion during World War Two, told the newspaper that she will not remove her flag.
"If somebody wants to come and take the flag down, I'll take pictures," she said.
The state agency did not explain how or when they would lift the ban — nor did they say if residents like Marshall would receive an apology.
