You will see that at the bottom of the page here it shows interchanges and you will find many tags that they are saying sell as the same part number this is why many web sites and retail outlets will sell all of the E46 racks as one part number (and paint over the tags)
Alex Really I have to say that all of my customers are of the utmost skill level Ha ha Just kidding I could not agree more that at times people have no idea what car they are even driving or what year or if it has tires. most commonly people will call and say they need a set (2) rack and pinions for their vehicle. So the fact that I did get a core back from a 323 with a 712 tag may have been a fluke or someone had changed the unit prior. when I followed up with the customer he had no idea and was not the original owner. he just wanted a rack that worked !
I have conveyed what I have seen as cores returned from customers based on what they purchased (years Models)
Below is a quick glance at the 712 shaft vs the 678 shaft as i Mentioned there is a slight difference in the gear (pitch of the gear) can I take a pinion from one and swap them ......yes !!!!!!
I am sorry I don't have allot of time today to make replies but thought I would post a little more info hope it helps
Be well

After Solar Sync has been installed and programmed, it is recommended to allow the system to run for a few days at the initial setting. Because of the variety in site conditions (including sensor location, amount of direct sunlight available to the sensor, reflective heat from surrounding structures, etc), the initial setting may require adjustment in order to arrive at the desired performance. The calibration of the Solar Sync to a particular site can easily be accomplished by adjusting the Region and/or Water Adjustment settings. The instructions below outline this process:
Install Solar Sync sensor and program the module (as described in pages 10–12)
Allow system to operate at initial settings for a minimum of 3 days
Observe the Seasonal Adjust on the controller. If the Seasonal Adjust amount appears to be lower or higher than expected for that time of year, the Solar Sync settings need to be adjusted.
a. Seasonal Adjust too low: Make sure controller dial is in the "Run" position. Increase the value on the Water Adjustment scale (10 is max). Once the setting is changed, the controller will immediately be updated with the new Seasonal Adjust %. Increase the Water
Adjustment setting until the desired Seasonal Adjust % is shown. If you max out the Water Adjustment scale at 10 and still require more Seasonal Adjust, move down to the next lower region (from region 4 to 3, for example).
b. Seasonal Adjust too high: Make sure controller dial is in the "Run" position. Decrease the value on the Water Adjustment scale (default setting is 5). Once the setting is changed, the controller will immediately be updated with the new Seasonal Adjust %. Decrease the Water Adjustment setting until the desired Seasonal Adjust % is shown. If you minimize the Water Adjustment scale down to 1 and still require a reduction in Seasonal Adjust, move up the next region (from region 2 to 3, for example).
Station run Times: It is important to understand that Solar Sync provides a global seasonal adjustment to the controller. This means that all station run times will be modified by the seasonal adjust percentage shown. When programming the controller, the run times should be entered that represent peak season watering schedules. If the Solar Sync is adjusting to the appropriate seasonal adjust value but the run time for a particular station appears to be too long/short, adjust the station run time in the controller program. When adjusting station run times, make sure the seasonal adjust valve is set to 100%.

I'm going to pull the battery and do a reset when I install my CAI later this week but I'm skeptical it will do anything.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. Open a file with Ford Customer Service and maybe wait it out for an ecu update? I can already tell this will bug me down the road. Why doesn't it shift when I want it to?
I kind of wish I had waited for the ST to become more available or found a manual in another brand.
Very disappointed with Ford for brushing this off when more than a few people have raised the issue already.
Yes very disappointing to hear, how is it normal for only 2-3 to have a delay... Obviously not... I hope something happens soon.

The Garden Of Betrayal (edition 2011)
by Lee Vance
Work details
The Garden of Betrayal by Lee Vance
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Another book I bought upon a recommendation (again, I think from The Economist) was "Garden of Betrayal", by Lee Vance. This is the story of Mark, a Wall Street high-flyer who has it all, until one evening his son Kyle vanishes, snatched off the streets of New York City. Years go by and Mark's family almost disintegrates. He immerses himself in work, analysing news events from around the world and alerting his clients what to buy and what to sell. One day, when a natural gas pipeline in Russia gets blown to pieces and, apparently unconnected, new information about Kyle comes up. Mark and his daughter embark a chase for Kyle, the personal getting tangled in international politics and intrigue. "Garden of Betrayal" is a great thriller.
The different parts that comprise the whole in this book are varied and make for a truly absorbing story. This author mixes family drama, big business greed and world events in a very convincing, fast paced writing style. At the center of the plot is Mark, his family and an international scheme to create a global energy monopoly. The author seamlessly interweaves two main threads. One follows the abduction of Mark's son seven years ago and deals with the emotional fallout caused by this event. Mark is not able to move beyond the loss of his son Kyle and is obsessed with finding out what happened to him. Mark and his family are real and believable. And because the characters are so well developed, you become emotionally invested and want to keep reading to find out what happens as each member deals with both everyday issues and the darker issues stemming from the abduction of Kyle. On another level Vance masterfully creates an intelligent thriller with political undertones. The author's passion for the corruption in the oil industry shines through and certainly seems plausible enough to happen in real life, especially given Vance's background as head of Goldman Sach's energy desk for over twenty years. In short a nicely plotted thriller for those who like this genre

Now this is something I rarely do. I am going to write a short review based on the first 115 pages of this book. WOW! Fantastic! Mesmerising! I am reading this book at about half the speed of normal. I don't want to miss a single nuance. If you want to get an insight into the world of high finances (and I do mean high!), get this book.
Mark Wallace publishes a financial newsletter. His life is turned upside down when his son is kidnapped. I cannot imagine how many twists and turns will take place before I finish this book, but couldn't wait to tell someone about it.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307269779, Hardcover)Manhattan, 2002: Mark Wallace has it all—he's married to Claire, the love of his life; they have two bright, beautiful children, and his is a high-powered Wall Street job. Until one night while on a neighborhood errand by himself, his twelve-year-old son, Kyle, vanishes, brutally snatched off the streets of New York.
Seven years later, Kyle has never been found. The loss, guilt, and mystery surrounding their son's disappearance have almost destroyed the Wallaces' marriage, leaving their daughter alienated and distant. Mark has thrown himself into his work—he is now an energy markets consultant for a private hedge fund run by the father of a friend—and, though successful, is living on emotional autopilot.
Now, on the same day that a natural gas pipeline in remote western Russia is blown up by suspected terrorists, a new lead opens in Kyle's case. When the very next day a colleague slips Mark classified information on Saudi oil production and then suddenly turns up dead, apparently a suicide, it remains for Mark, with the help of his technophile daughter and still-grieving wife, to find the sinister connections among everything that's going on. Their personal struggle is equally compelling—three people who must once again learn how to be a family.
Politically savvy, emotionally complex, and frighteningly believable, The Garden of Betrayal is a tense and timely imagining of the casualties of recession-era Wall Street gaming and the backroom global oil wars, a riveting, compulsive read that will grip you from first page to last. It also places Lee Vance on the level of today's best and best-selling thriller writers—Richard North Patterson, Christopher Reich—who not only thrill us but make us think.

The Ford Cortina was first produced in the UK in 1962, with the Mk1 being built until 1966. The final Mk5 model was eventually replaced by the Sierra in 1982. The Mk1 cost under £700 to buy and was made using the mechanical parts from other Ford models. Despite this, it was still the UK's best-selling car for nearly two decades, which is why it goes down as an all-time classic.
At some point in the 70s, my Dad bought a brand new dark blue Cortina. Unfortunately, my Mum managed to scratch the roof while reversing it out of the garage - she had forgotten about the aerial on the roof! We solved the problem by having a black vinyl roof covering made and it actually looked pretty damn cool back in the 70s!
This is a Mk1 from the 60s and it's my personal favourite out of all the Cortina models.

Re: something nice I found today, return multiple
There are two different organizing principles: "positional ordering" and "naming of things". In cases of perfect order, the first principle is more effective, but if there is some disordering around (e.g. forgetting where things are put), the second principle often is better. Functional programming works according to the first principle, avoiding putting unnecessary names on things, and often then get high efficiency. It is faster to tell "he is there!" instead of "his name is Peter, and you might find his position in the name list". So if you have any ambition to satisfy the needs of your functional programmer friends you should return lists from your functions, as =
you did before:
computeSomething[r_] := Module[{var1 = -99, var2 = 20, result},
result = {var1*r, var2*r}];
And then you might also get naming of things by
{x,y} = computeSomething[30];
or by redefining computeSomething:
computeSomething[r_] := Module[{var1 = -99, var2 = 20, result},
result = {x=var1*r, y=var2*r}]; computeSomething[30];
If you do not care about the functional programming aspects, you might reserve two variable names, say x and y (or something more complicated), for the result, and directly write
computeSomething[r_] := (x= -99*r; y*r); computeSomething[30];
Then I guess that the functional programmer guy will say that you pick out the results as side effects of the function.
With your solution, I see it as if you will save the result in two places, both as (x, y) and as (result["x"], result["y"]). To me it seems better to just use one place, and use the default name space for variables to store results rather than to define a new name space of the type result[string]. Duplication of data is an unnecessary complication, which might lead to errors if the data need updating.
I see one instance when an approach similar to yours is attractive. If I am
doing many similar experiments, I might want to store the experimental data in files. Then it is convenient to write text files containing self-defining data as executable Mathematica code:
Then I can read these data files directly into Mathematica as m files, without any special interpreter, and I can also easily modify and complement th=
e measurement files with additional information. The measurement data are then also easily interpreted by a human reader, if necessary.

Congrats to PG Rangers Finishing First in PGYA Regular Season Play [VIDEO]
John Williams and Jim Weaver are proud dads on this Father's day weekend!
John Williams and Jim Weaver are proud dads on this Father's day weekend!
I have not had one of these in a while but thought I would share a funny video of my two year old daughter Addy.
Thor is an adorable Great Dane puppy and as you can see on the video he is not a morning puppy.
Thor's owner filmed him as he was trying to get him up at a wonderful time 3:30 am...
The guys are known as the Bottle Boys, and although it's hard imagine someone as an actual musician that plays beer bottles, there's nothing else you can call these guys.
Just put this in the I will never do this file for me. This video of a dog base jumping in a wing suit has a whole lot of nopes written all over it and it makes me queesy just watching the video.
I got a huge laugh out of this! On Interstate 549 between Texarkana and Fouke, a highway sign posted this message "Slower Speed Recommended - Watch For Ice." It was in May on an 84 degree day!
I FOUND THE FLY that was bombarding us in the Power 95-9 studio!! He was a low-flyer and hid behind Wes's trash can.
Do you want to know what I did when I found him? Watch the video!
Can you help me find the fly that has been buzzing us today please? I chased it out of the Power studio earlier and lost it down the hall but now it is back! It is a fast flyer so I keep losing sight of it. I videoed my search in hopes that you could help me find the darn thing's hiding spot.
I have owned a few dogs over the years and this dog is the worst treat catcher ever.
In the video the poor dog tries its best to catch the treats but falls woefully short...
Apparently there is something in the air that caused both Sara and Betty to wear not only the same colors today but the same type of outfit!
You thin kids reactions are funny when you feed them a lime?
Thursday is here again and we all want the weekend to get here already.
The best way to battle the Thursday blues is to get your 'oh that's so cute' on with a video that has literally blown up on you tube...

Hey Marketplace,
Hope this is in the correct sub-forum. Didn't want to create (2) separate threads for these items, so figured since I'm selling a BOV i'll put it here. If this is in the wrong place, mods may move thread.
Selling some parts from my 2011 WRX, most of which are Brand New In Box.
Never got around to putting most of this stuff in, so my loss is your gain. The only part that is not Brand New In Box is the GFB Respons BOV, which only has about 5K miles on it anyways and works great. Hands down best BOV I've ever run on any of my cars.
Items are below, going to link website links too as there are vids/pics of the items installed so interested buyers can see how they look/sound in their cars. There are sound/pics of everything installed, both the GFB BOV and the ProSport EVO Gauges in the SMY Pod.
GFB Respons BOV - (Subaru WRX 2008-2014 / Legacy GT 2005-2009) -- $200 shipped (US Only) - **SOLD**
Go Fast Bits TMS Respons Hybrid Blow Off Valve Subaru WRX 2008-2014 / Legacy GT 2005-2009 T9001 at RallySportDirect.com
Easily the best BOV I've run to date on any of my cars. Fully adjustable, never threw my WRX into a stall, etc. Ran it like 70/30 - 80/20 closed and never had an issue. No adapter plate/gasket included, but not needed for installation as far as I know, ran perfect on my WRX without.
SMY ClusterMaker Dual Gauge Pod (52mm) - Subaru WRX / STI 2008-2014 / Forester XT 2009-2013 -- $100 shipped (US Only) -- **SOLD**
SMY ClusterMaker Dual Gauge Pod 52mm Subaru WRX / STI 2008-2014 / Forester XT 2009-2013 SMYCLSTR1 at RallySportDirect.com
SMY did a great job matching up colors imo. Popular gauge cluster in the current market.
ProSport EVO Gauges - 52mm EVO Series Red/Blue - Boost and Fuel Pressure -- $115 shipped for both or ($65 each) (US Only) -- **SOLD**
Prosport Gauges Evo series gauges, EVO Red and Blue digital gauges
I thought these ProSport gauges matched up nice with the Red WRX cluster. Tried to get the closest match possible and this is what I settled on, but never got around to installing them. See above link for pics installed with SMY Cluster.

Authorities in Sacramento are intent on learning who painted a backwards swastika on a mural, on a likeness of Kings player Omri Casspi, the NBA's only player born in Israel.
Police are treating the vandalism of a midtown mural that pictures the Kings team as a possible hate crime, particularly with it occurring on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year.
"This act of hate and intolerance is despicable and cowardly," said state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg in a written statement. "It is all the more offensive because it occurred on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the Jewish new year. As residents of Sacramento, we are fortunate to live in a community that respects and draws strength from our individual differences. But we also are united in condemning the cowardly acts of those who wish to sow fear, hatred, and anger toward others based on their religious beliefs."
"We take this kind of incident very seriously," Police Department spokesman Konrad von Schoech told the Sacramento Bee. "Any time we have this type of hate symbolism, it elevates the severity."

"I am not wired to operate under the same old 'politics as usual'. I promised that four years ago – and I meant it."
Indeed. Whatever else one says about Sarah Palin, she was never "politics as usual". Politics as unusual, rather. It's appropriate that she should have chosen the Independence Day holiday to issue her own declaration of independence from the political process, for this, too, is an irrevocable separation. Like the sting of the honeybee, resignation is the most potent weapon in a politician's armoury - but, in most cases, it can only be used once. Certainly, I think, in hers.
I reported the death of Sarah Palin's political career some months ago, so I'm not entirely surprised that she has got out before she was dragged kicking and screaming out of the governor's residence. Actually, the manner of her departure was rather stunning, bizarre as only Sarah Palin could make it, but since she became world-famous last August her attachment to her home state - and her job - has been casual at best. Alaskans call her GINO - "governor in name only".
Her resignation speech, paradoxical and rambling as it undoubtedly was, had a more than a touch of the surreal. I particularly relished this classically Palinesque inversion of consensus reality:
It may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and "go with the flow". Nah, only dead fish "go with the flow".
Peter Mandelson famously declared himself to be "a fighter and not a quitter". But even a man of his legendary subtlety would surely have had trouble with Palin's apparent belief that the best way of demonstrating her fighting resolve was by quitting; that staying in her job would have been "apathetic". But that's Planet Palin.
Indeed, several of her phrases, taken literally, suggested that she believed that by resigning she was merely doing what is best for Alaska:
"So I choose, for my State and my family... so that Alaska may progress... I will not seek re-election as Governor."
"I am determined to take the right path for Alaska even though it is unconventional and not so comfortable."
No doubt her ever-growing numbers of Alaskan critics will agree with her. Me, I'm looking forward to the inevitable parodies. Tina Fey is probably working on it right now.
Why did she do it? It may be that she has finally succumbed to the pressure. There are rumours in Alaska of a mega-scandal about to break - a "political iceberg" that would sink the SS Palin. Then there was that article by Todd Purdum in Vanity Fair, which stripped away what little credibility she still possessed. Perhaps she just got bored. She may even realise that the game is up - though, given her limitless well of self-belief, it's hard to imagine.
Don't take any notice of those people suggesting that this is a cunning manoeuvre designed to position her for a shot at the presidency in 2012. It's not even clear that she would want the job any more - people close to her are saying that she has had it with politics. Her lack of patience with the niceties of conventional politics has been evident from for some time. If she had been serious about rebuilding her political credibility she would have returned to Alaska and concentrated on doing a good job. That's what the best-intentioned and most experienced of her supporters were urging her to do. Instead she has followed an erratic course that has certainly kept her name in the headlights, but not in a good way. The people who call the shots in the Republican party abandoned her long ago.
But, in any case, even she must realise by now that her hoped-for breakthrough in national politics is not going to happen. That doesn't mean she has had it with public life. It's just that, as Purdum put it, "she may decide that she does not need office in order to have great influence - any more than Rush Limbaugh does". Limbaugh, though, like any successful broadcaster, has a natural way with words. Palin - as yesterday's performance showed - is strikingly awkward, even inarticulate. And the strange thing is that since she came to national prominence she has been getting steadily worse.
She had her chance, no doubt about that: her speech to the Republican convention was inspirational. Indeed, perhaps the most inexplicable element of her career is how she managed to blow it quite so comprehensively. Here was a natural politician who worked her way up from a school PTA to the governorship of one of the most strategically significant states of the Union, who had some real successes to her name and an unconventional, but genuine, mass appeal. Suddenly she was tongue-tied, embarrassingly under-briefed and not a little ridiculous. I cannot believe that - even in Alaska - she could have got so far if she had always been like that. It's as though something short-circuited in her brain. Last year she briefly outshone Barack Obama. This year her only notable public triumph was to extract a public apology from David Letterman over an ill-considered but (had she not made such a big deal of it) swiftly forgotten joke.
And now? Deprived of the political office that ensures that people have to notice her, she may vanish - like the has-been reality TV star that in many ways she is. Her political career has provided a steady stream of ready-to-go controversies and mini-scandals that have at least kept her in the headlines. But without her public responsibilities she will soon be just one more accidental celebrity. Interest will fade. Yet there were some hints in the speech that she at least remains convinced of her destiny.
But I have given my reasons… no more "politics as usual" and I am taking my fight for what's right – for Alaska – in a new direction. Now, despite this, I don't want any Alaskan dissuaded from entering politics after seeing this real "climate change" that began in August… no, we need hardworking, average Americans fighting for what's right! And I will support you because we need you and you can effect change, and I can too on the outside.
There's an ambiguity about that last phrase. "On the outside" means outside the governor's office, of course. But in Alaskan parlance "Outside" means anywhere outside Alaska. She may be quitting rather more than the governor's mansion in Juneau. Apparently she hopes to become a roving campaigner for Republican candidates throughout the USA. Despite everything, she may believe that greatness still awaits.
But if so, then she's delusional. This really is it. Like the Cheshire cat, she will slowly fade from view, until there is nothing left but a wink.
But I will miss her. She has provided me with some of my best material.

BOTTOM LINE: Yes, would recommend to a friend.
Comments about Fairytale Brownies Holiday Sprite 24: I ordered this Holiday gift to share with my friends and family at an event. As these brownies are baked using Callebaut Belgian chocolate, they are a little too "chocolatey" for me, but everyone else absolutely loved the gourmet taste. I would send again, especially to those that have a great palate for chocolate.

Pure Weight Loss
Weight loss counseling center partner with L.A. Weight LossTop Rated Diet Shakes of 2017
Please note, Pure Weight Loss has announced it will close all 400 locations permanently, as of January 4, 2008. A spokesperson for Pure Weight Loss Centers cited "fierce competition from the internet, the introduction of Alli, the over-the-counter weight loss pill, and other commercial diet programs, combined with a difficult economic environment."
Pure Weight Loss was part of a larger conglomerate known as LA Weight Loss. A few years back, in fact, L.A. Weight Loss and Pure Weight Loss split off from one another and attempted to operate from two approaches, the corporate-owned centers and the franchised centers. When they re-emerged, in August 2007, they changed the names of all their weight centers to Pure Weight Loss.
L.A. Weight Loss has been a player in the field since 1989, when it opened its first L.A. Weight Loss Center. During peak operations, there were more than 850 L.A. Weight Loss Centers, either franchised or corporate run.
Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
- Utilized regular foods available from local grocery stores
- Personal counseling to determine specific meal programs based on each individual's health and background
- Satisfying meals to help clients fore go the constant feeling of hunger
- Pyramid-based food plans that consisted of 45% carbohydrates, 35-40% protein and 20% fat
- No longer in business
- High prices and pushy sales people
- A class-action lawsuit was filed against the company(ies) in 2002 and won, by customers who proved that the advertised cost of the program was misleading
- Not able to properly accommodate all customers' dietary needs
- Provided no exercise guidance
Pure Weight Loss worked well within their own guidelines to provide a 45/40/20 split along the food pyramid. However, they became bogged down by depending far too heavily on their supplements and bars. Since the percentage of people allergic to soy and/or in pre-diabetic or diabetic conditions has risen dramatically over the past twenty years, their inflexibility with regard to meeting these client's needs without using only their supplemental foods, was certainly another source of dissatisfaction.EXERCISE
No exercise regimen was included within the personal counseling arena, although the counselors did reiterate that we are all healthier when we are active.CONCLUSION
L.A. Weight Loss/Pure Weight Loss ran with the ball for a long period of time. The number of people who appreciated the program, (web reviews from consumers), was highly mixed, with some praising its effectiveness and others totally disillusioned. The weighted average was close to 50/50. But over and over again successful weight-loss clients suggested the supplement and snack bar component of the plan was entirely unnecessary. Those who stayed with the program appreciated the well-defined menu and strategy that was laid out by the personal counselor, and the one-on-one support that was available. Customers of Pure Weight Loss, or those interested in the program, should visit L.A. Weight Loss, as Pure will go out of business January 4, 2008.Common Misspellings

I too have an entire program paid for and I also have bars and juice that I purchased and never got. I was on the plan before I got pregnant. In november I went back to start from where I left off. I had weeks that were still paid for and bars. I then bought a new entire program for me and my mother. Was then told I could not start on the program until I was done breastfeeding. Now I'm done and they are gone. Pure owes me more than 800.00 bucks. How do I get it back without the contract they never handed me. I do have my credit card receipt though with novembers date.
Loved LA-great plan,the protein bars helped my cholestrol go down 40 points. However corporate sucked from the beginning.They were always moving the couinselors. Just say no to the other supplements!
my sister got caught up in the whole LA weightloss craze...they talked her into buying all these pills and protein bars and she spent a fortune.. good riddance
i'm not surprised they're closing. once you got in there, it was all about the supplements. there's easier/less expensive ways to lose weight, trust me
I have been out the country for the past three months and just went by the office today in Waldorf MD. and seen that they closed their doors. I tried call the corporate phone number but no one ever answers. I want to get the 28 weeks worth of Bars that I paid for...how do I get them?

Wake up: You may have just been sexually assaulted by Timothy Layne Martinez
Timothy Layne Martinez, circa 2006, is an alleged creepazoid.
What's among the qualities Timothy Layne Martinez allegedly likes in women? Unconsciousness.
Martinez has been charged with nineteen counts of sexual assault against two women, with the incidents dating back to 2006. Why the delay? Jefferson County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Pam Russell explains:
"Two victims came forward," Russell says. "Through the brother of Mr. Martinez, they had come across videos that are alleged to have photos of mainly one woman who'd been in an intimate relationship with Mr. Martinez at one time. But the videos show what we believe to be sexual assault. The victim is either asleep or unconscious or in some altered state."
Russell notes that this woman was "disturbed" by the videos, as well she should be, and contacted the Lakewood Police Department in December 2008. The LPD investigation progressed over a series of months, with charges against Martinez coming down in April.

Now, however, there's a new development. During the course of their investigation, LPD personnel came across photos of another sleeping woman. "She's absolutely not a suspect," Russell says. "But we believe she may have some information that might be valuable to the investigation."
Photos of this last woman appear below; she's urged to contact the Lakewood Police Department using the number contained in a release reproduced at the bottom of this item. Also on view: another photo of Martinez, who's currently being held without bond in Jefferson County jail.
Timothy Layne Martinez in 2009.
Jefferson County District Attorney's Office release:
Timothy Layne Martinez, a 32-year-old Lakewood man, has been charged with 19 counts of sexual assault against two women. Martinez is accused of committing these sexual assaults between February and November 2006. Earlier in 2009 one of the victims reported the assaults to the Lakewood Police Department and their investigation led to his arrest and charges being filed.
Martinez is accused of having committed numerous sexual assaults and recording them on videotape. According to court records, most of the assaults are committed while the victim(s) is asleep or in some altered state. Many of the sexual assaults appear to have taken place at his home in Lakewood.
There are two victims named in this case, both of whom were known to Martinez. Prosecutors are not disclosing the nature of the relationship between Martinez and the women in order to protect their identity.
As part of this ongoing investigation, the Lakewood Police Department believe the woman in the photo below may have information about this case and would like to talk to her, or to anyone who might have information about her. There are two other photos of the woman attached.
If anyone has information, please call Lakewood Police Department Investigator Karen Turnbull at 303-987-7217.

text: So im driving to school this morning. And i pass up this crappy looking red civic hatch...that had some rust on it and regular steel wheels and the stock exhaust pipe that was like 1 inch in diamater. I pass this car up and think nothing of it. Then i see that its trailiing me. So i get around a bottleneck, and floor it from about 60 and i take it up to 90. The civic...is right behind me and im not moving away from hiM!!!! All i could think was "WTF is going on...LOL". So we get next to each other, and have a wide open road, and he gives me the thumbs up and then i motion him to hit it. I let him hit it, and then i jump on it, we take it from about 60 to about 120. I was able to pull about 1 car on him, and we basically stayed even after 4th gear. We then got back down to regular cruising speed and gave each other thumbs up, i asked him what he had and he said "GSR motor and supercharger" and i told him i had uppipe/downpipe. To say the least, i was suprised he didnt rape me, since i thought the GSR alone would be plenty enough to keep up with a fairly stock WRX like mine. But then again, he probably wasnt very tuned, and i dont think his restrictive exhaust or heavy looking wheels helped him any. Anyways, i was very impressed, that was one quick civic. He told me he should be able to run mid 14's at the track, im guessing its because he is severly traction limited. Anyways, was a good race and the guy was totally cool, now im gonna be more weary when i see an old beater hatch .

Spring break, snow days and Buffalo don't normally go together, but for us it seems pretty normal. Buffalo was hit with its second blizzard of the year last week causing our anticipated Louisville game to be cancelled and to our surprise all of our classes! For the first time in many of our college careers we felt like our friends at JMU, University of Delaware and other southern schools whose administrations' seem to constantly be giving out snow days.
As the snow day was announced, coach came in the gym with dodge balls and the battle between the defense and offence had begun. It didn't take long for our competitive sides to come out and the casual game of dodge ball escalade to a full out battle; that the defense eventually won, may I add.
The snow day also inspired the sophomores to hold their own snow football game in the Delavan quad. It was complete with Sami Franco's version of the Heisman pose and Cody Kucharski's tackle that turned into a snow angle.
Spring break also means team meals. We were lucky enough to be invited to the Kotas' for an amazing brunch on Sunday morning. The spread Mr. and Mrs. Kotas put out gave dining hall a run for their money; we had everything from breakfast pizza to oatmeal, bacon, fruit and pastries. And the best part: Mrs. Kotas sent us home with leftovers!
As much as we wanted the win on Saturday against No. 5 Boston College, we gave them a game we don't think they were expecting with a final score of 10-7. The loss made us hungry for a win, and with the return of coach Daley to the Demske we had the perfect opportunity to get back on track. The 19-10 win over Binghamton leaves us 3-3 for the year as we prepare for our game against Duquesne.
In Monday's game against Binghamton we wore blue ribbons in our hair and on our shoes for "Blue for Ben," a western New York campaign to support Ben, a four year old boy with terminal brain cancer.
Just keep Re'LAXING,
Alexis Roskovich
Congratulations to men's lacrosse on their win against their conference opponent, Monmouth, on Saturday! And a BIG congratulations to hockey, who beat Bentley to head to the Atlantic Hockey semifinal game this weekend in Rochester!

About Anna Maria Island
Just south of Tampa Bay on the turquoise Gulf of Mexico, sits a quaint Barrier Island located on Florida's West Coast. Lined by a seven-mile strip of beautiful white-sand beaches, Anna Maria Island is a cozy paradise that has long been considered one of the state's hidden gems. Here, "Old Florida" charm abounds and visitors can get a feel for Florida, the way it used to be.
With seven miles of uninterrupted beach, Anna Maria Island offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy fun in the sun and explore. The island shares its beach life with local wildlife. Turtles visit from May - November every year (nest tours are offered in the summer) and year round visitors shouldn't be surprised to see manatees, dolphins, rays and exotic fish beyond the waves.
In addition to its picturesque beaches, Anna Maria Island is home to many award-winning dining options, including bistros, cafes and restaurants (there are no chain restaurants to be found). The island has been recognized nationally for its locally sourced food, unique menu items and on-the-water locations offering top views. Diners can expect gourmet dining options offering cuisine from England, France, Germany, Italy, Asia and Spain, as well as "Floribbean" dishes and seafood delicacies straight from the nearby sea. Top seafood choices include: grouper, red snapper, mullet and blue crab. Visitors are even invited to bring their catch into some of the area's top restaurants, like the Sandbar and Beachhouse.
For guests looking for fun off the sand as well, there are many art galleries, museums or aquariums in the area. And, the island is surrounded by nature parks and gorgeous naturally landscaped paths worth exploring.
Anna Maria Island also offers many top options for shopping at its many souvenir, jewelry, clothing and antique stores. Pine Avenue (known as the Greenest Little Main Street in America) is lined by great stylish boutiques and specialty shops and leads directly on to the 100 year old Anna Maria City Pier which offers picturesque views of the bay. Holmes Beach offers seven blocks of stores, small unique gift shops, adorable café's, art galleries and a grocery store. Additionally, stores on the newly restored Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach offers an unusual blend of arts and crafts unique to the island, reflecting its Bohemian roots.
Anna Maria Island also boasts a wide variety of accommodations ranging from historic bed and breakfasts, to beach-side cottages, cozy luxury homes, as well as condo rentals and spacious villas, which are all locally owned and operated and offer a unique experience. Tall sky-rise and commercial buildings do not exist on Anna Maria Island, with most accommodations measuring at less than three stories.
Additionally, the island is becoming a top choice for beach destination weddings. So much so that many are referring to the setting as the "Beach Wedding Capital of Florida". Forbes named Anna Maria Island the "#3 Prettiest City in the Country" in 2013 and was a "TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice Destination Winner 2013 and 2014" and #3 of the top 10 islands in the US to go to in 2014.

About HI Hostel Viana do Castelo - Pousada de Juventude
The mouth of the river Lima shelters an important port and shipyard while Viana do Castelo shows off its beautiful monuments to its visitors.
The most emblematic landmark is probably the Sanctuary of Santa Luzia, both for its grandeur and for its breathtaking panoramic view. Up in the north, the Atlantic waters are naturally cooler.
However, the summer calls for some fun in the sea. Praia de Âncora and Moledo, with their beach cafés, will definitely become your favorite spots.

Just kidding :lol:
I just wanted to let you all know that I will be off-line for a couple weeks most likely while I get situated in my new house. I know they have cable available in that area but I dont know how soon I will be getting it hooked up. On the list of "priorities" my wife rated it at at the bottom of the list of things to do... :(
We had the closing on my house yesterday and the final closing on my new house is this afternoon so we will be starting to move tonight.
I'll post a couple pictures of "Buck's Farm" when I return... :lol:
See ya's all real soon,
Buck 8)
See ya when you return... as Farmer Buck.
Hey, I "roughed it" for a while with a dialup modem when I moved to my new place. Buck they got these things called 56K modems, most computers have em :lol: .
Roughed it? After being on broadband for so long I am spoiled. Earlier this year all of the rain here in the midwest made my DSL chaotic. It was constantly on the fritz. And when I would dial-up to do things online I felt like it was internet by smoke signals. Not fun.
Ha Ha ,
Believe me when I tell ya that if I gad to "rough it" with dial up I would do it in a heartbeat, however, I dont... :D
I am hooked up now and tonight is a test run of my systems... mine and my wifes, both pc's are online but Im not to pleased with the connection. :evil:
I think my DSL was faster but again, I have had worst connections.... :lol:
I am semi-moved in and had to completely gut the room that my beloved bride chose as her office/pc room and have gotten to a point where I can at least hook up the pc's...when a house was built in 1850 I have learned that they didnt know what a "square" was...
Now for the tank update.....
I now have all my fish from both the 30 gallon and the 56 in one tank(56g) and I only lost 1 cory....... for some reason he/she wasn't doin all that great to begin with. I must say though that I have an embarrasing looking aquascape going on in there. :lol:
I found that thats what happens when you tear everything down and throw it all together for survival instead of looks..... LOL
I'll be back full strength soon.....
see ya's all real soon ,
I'll post a photo or 3 on my website of the new "old" house that I love... LOL

Poisons are unleashed when colonies of bacteria get too close, creating a toxic no-man's land in between.
Research by Eshel Ben-Jacob of the University of California, San Diego's, Center for Theoretical Biological Physics, Ben-Jacob of Tel Aviv University, Avraham Be'er of the University of Texas, Austin, and colleagues at these institutions, found that rival colonies of the bacteria Paenibacillus dendritiformis can produce a lethal chemical that keeps competitors at bay. By halting the growth of nearby colonies and even killing some of the cells, groups of bacteria preserve scarce resources for themselves, even when the encroaching colony is closely related. To learn more about this research, see the UC-San Diego news release, "Colonies of Bacteria Fight for Resources with Lethal Protein." (http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/science/03-23LethalProtein.asp)

AP, CNN, CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC continue to propagate the "sequestor" falsehood of total disaster. Consider: the effect of the "cuts" this year is not the $85 billion reported but $44 billion. The Federal goverment borrows $43 billion every week. So the sequestor amounts to one week worth of borrowing. Furthermore, the "cuts" do not reduce spending from 2012 level at all. 2013 spending will still be higher than 2012. The "cuts" are a reduction in the amount of spending increae that was "planned". Rather than submit a budget, the Senate continues to pass a continuation of spending at the previous year level plus a planned increase. The House could "defund" some of this spending but they are loathe to be called villians. Then we have a president who takes a golf weekend to Florida at the equivalent cost of 250 Federal jobs. Does anyone in DC ever take their job seriously? Will the media ever return to objective journalism?
Objective Journalism doesn't sell. Thats why there is NPR and PBS. Now the brain dead will say those sources are "Liberal". Well, yes they are because true Journalism is inherently liberal, any story changes as facts emerge and leads the story to wherever the story leads. Conservative media isn't journalism. Con Media starts with a premise then picks whatever facts support their premise. If they can't find facts supporting their belief Con Media simply creates fictions. This has been well documented.
Who can forget November 6th 2012 when the followers and believers of Con Media were so thoroughly blind sided and their humiliation and embarrassment so deep many still have yet to show their faces, and those so cowardly they changed their identities to distance themselves from their own words. That distancing being a method of dodging responsibility, that thing they say everyone should take.
Well, Bill, I once heard of research done on Howard Sterns show. Those who liked Stern listened something like one hour a day. Those who didn't like Stern listened twice that amount. I found Stern creepy, and Limpy just too full of BS, Limpy makes sense as long as one doesn't think about what Limp is saying. If someone has two brain cells that talk to each other doesn't take long to realize Limp is speaking to the brain dead. And like you wrote, Bill, Limpy has listeners who see Limp for what he is but listen because they want to know what new insanity is going on with the Wing Nuts.
On the internet...I find it intersting that media matters typically has 3 to 6 blogs trashing Fox or Rush Limbaugh. They don't seem to understand that having so many people watch or listen they just increase the viewership of the media they are trying to denegrate. If they would follow MSNBC or CNN or NBC or CBS they would increase their audience and ratings. But George Sorso did give them $34 million to keep posting about Fox and Rush so they must ear their pay somehow.
I Love to golf for 10 bucks at the kent state course, a couple million per round, is little out of my league!!
It appears that more and more people are utilizing the intgernet to seek out alternative (to self appointed "mainstream" media)"news". At least they can research differing opinions if not objective facts.
Another example, the Streetsboro district is considering placing an item on the ballot in November. The paper has only published what they district has presented and there are no views of how the public feels. One sided reporting. Is it intentional?
Martin Fleming
Many times even this paper has not been objective. Just look at the remarks made by the editor in Sound Off.
They listen and report both sides. They don't take a side. Just report what you see.
Don't offer opinions on issues of justice or about abortion, or school levies or issues. We want news that is unbiased and objective.
When you leave your opinion you expect the public to follow as if yours is the only way.
The Editor of Sound Off gives proof of that and so does the "In Our Opinion".
Martin Fleming
Oh, the media tries to be objective, but, since they went to public schools, they think that objective means objecting any consideration of fiscal responsibility.
I find that people only label journalism "objective" if it agrees with their own biases.
Opinion talk show hosts are not news reporters, so don't confuse Rush or even Combs with news reporting.
The "sequestor" deadline was agreed upon by all involved (Democrat & Republican) stating that it would force them to come to some sort of agreement because, if not, the results would be devastating. Now, after no agreement is reached, when the Democratic party and the media make the same statement that Republicans agreed with at the beginning, it's a lie. That is what is known as a flip flop and is why Mr. Romney is sitting at home right now. If it's objective journalism you are looking for, I am sure you can find Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, or any of those other "journalists" on Fox news to fill that void but please keep in mind that they are another reason why Mr. Romney is sitting at home right now. They pounded away in 2008 that President Obama will take all your guns, he was not born here, he loves Muslim terrorists, and we will be in a full blown depression by the end of his first term. The stock market reached an all time record high yesterday and no one is listening to those lunatics anymore.
Maybe GM and the UAW could lend back some of the $50 billion they were given?
And the secretary of transportation along with the secretary of education admit they did no planning for sequestration.They spent $500 million on consulatants, another $200 million on conferences, but both are absolutely necessary and they cannot see making any reduction in that amount of spending. Dept of trnasportaion had 49 conferences last year. Dept of ed doesn't kow how many conferences last year...but was less than 49.


text: Looking back at Ros Sumners career it seemed she was touted as the one to beat East Germanys Kat Witt. True she did win 83 worlds (was behind Witt, Leistner and Vodorezova in the SP) 3 time US national champ. Looking back at her 83 worlds worlds performances (and even her 84 nats performance which had more attack despite the slip up on one of her double axels) there seemed to be such a stark contrast to one year later in Sarajevo. She looked unsure of herself and tentative at the 84 Olympics except in the figures portion. So considering how great a competitor Witt was ( winning silver at 82 worlds and taking into account if she nailed figures in Sarajevo unlike 83 worlds), and Sumners decline; was it realistic to expect her to win gold?

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used as a natural food sweetener, dental caries reducer, and as an alternative sugar for diabetics. Xylitol is currently produced by a chemical process from wood. Drawbacks of the chemical process are requirements for high pressure and temperature, use of an expensive catalyst, and use of extensive separation and purification steps to remove the by-products formed during chemical reduction. Because of these problems, the production of xylitol by fermentation of xylose, available in various agricultural residues such as corn fiber, is becoming attractive. We found that the yeast Candida peltata NRRL Y-6888 produced a good yield of xylitol from xylose. The yeast appears to be a promising candidate for fermentative production of xylitol from xylose.
Technical Abstract: The ability of Candida peltata NRRL Y-6888 to ferment xylose to xylitol was evaluated under different environmental conditions such as pH, temperature, aeration, substrate concentration, and in the presence of glucose, arabinose, ethanol, methanol, and organic acids. A maximum xylitol yield of 0.56 g/g xylose was obtained when the yeast was cultivated at pH 6.0, 28 deg C and 200 rpm on 50 g/L xylose. The yeast produced ethanol (0.41 g/g in 40 h) from glucose (50 g/L) and arabitol (0.55 g/g in 87 h) from arabinose (50 g/L). It preferentially utilized glucose > xylose > arabinose from mixed substrates. Glucose (10 g/L), ethanol (7.5 g/L), and acetate (5 g/L) inhibited xylitol production by 61, 84, and 68%, respectively. Arabinose (10 g/L) had no inhibitory effect on xylitol production by the yeast.

Let me introduce you to Morocco!
uk Did yo
Moroccan lanterns are very unique and beautiful as every single one is handcrafted using traditional techniques.
The official name is The Kingdom of Morocco and it is located in the northwest corner of Africa and is bordered by the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. The Arabic name translates to 'The Western Kingdom'. Morocco is also about the same size as California in America. A large part of Morocco is full of huge mountains with Rabat being Morocco's capital city. It can get very warm during the summer which means it is mild during the winter which is great for camels and anyone who hates the cold. This magazine is going to introduce you to the Moroccan culture, starting with animals. 40

Animals in Morocco!
Hi, I'm Mr. stork. We love living in Morocco for the humid weather. We are big birds so our home is big too. The nest we have built (made out of twigs) is big enough for the both of us, we don't like living in trees like other birds; we like to live on top of buildings and even chimney pots. Our home can last for a few years.
Hi, I'm Mr. Camel. I'm a very valuable animal in Morocco as I can go up to 4 days without water which makes me a great traveller and carrier through the desert. I'm also known as 'ships of the desert'. My hump is not actually full of water like others think; it's full of fatty deposits that help with water storage. My thick coat reflects sunlight which helps me from overheating. I'm a herbivore which means I only eat greens, because I'm a desert animal, I can eat thorny cactus which is very dangerous for other animals to eat. As I'm an important and valuable animal to the Moroccan people, I'm also often used as money to trade for other objects. I'm usually worth around £500!
The people of Morocco don't mind us living with them as we are quiet animals and we are viewed as good luck but occasionally when we do speak, it can sound like a loud machine-gun. This gave us the name "laqlaq" in Arabic. Our diet can include frogs and large insects, but also young birds, lizards and rodents. We also pair for life and we can live for up to 30 years!
Morocco can be a very dry place. The rainfall is not enough for the people or animals of Morocco. Larger mammals like lions and elephants used to live in Morocco too, but due to the water shortage, they migrated to other places. Today there are a lot of other animals too, like sheep, goats, Barbary monkeys, and wild boars.

Moroccan ! Architecture
How to know when modern buildings are inspired by Morocco: • Large, intimidating U-shaped archways and beautiful domes • Enchanting courtyards • Ornaments that decorate the exterior of the building • The use of Islamic calligraphy as decoration • Use of geometrical patterns • Use of bright colour schemes
Others often see Morocco as a place of mystery and beauty; this is because of the breath-taking architecture. Architecture in Morocco is a blend of Black African and Islamic design styles, with the Islamic styles dominating in this combination. This style is appreciated around the word by many and can still be seen in the modern buildings constructed today.
This is the El-Mansouria Mosque, located in Marrakech. Marrakech is a popular city that people visit in Morocco. A mosque is a place of worship for Muslims. There are many Mosques around the city, Marrakech, but this one is the most popular. Unfortunately there's no access for non-Muslims, but you can admire the impressive architecture from the outside.
Let's put your animal into a home! There are 2 activities on this page. Let's start by drawing a window on top of your animal; here are some Moroccan windows to give you some inspiration.

Moroccan patterns are bright, bold and very unique. Large parts of Morocco's architecture are covered in Zellige, which are sets of tiles that are set in place with plaster and it consists of geometrical mosaics. Altogether as a pattern, it seems very complicated but the pattern is just a repeat of the same pattern or changed slightly then repeated. Based around the shapes, circles and stars as the middles. This skill of pattern making is still considered as art and great craftsmanship and can take years to master in Morocco. As well as using pattern to decorate buildings, it is also used to decorate around windows, fountains and doorways. Morocco is also known throughout the world for its carpets. It can take many months to complete one as it is handcrafted. The patterns on carpets are very much inspired by Moroccan patterns too, except most are not based around circles but diamond shapes.
Moroccan Pattern!
You can cut these shapes out to help you pattern!
Remember to get your mummy to help you use the scissors.
Let 's Pattern!
A lot of Moroccan patterns are based around circles. Use these circle shapes as a guide. Let's decorate your buildings with pattern. Draw it in the box with .
If you go back to the architecture page, you can see the patterns can be a box on the building or even around the doorway. ilding?

Moroccan Food!
Moroccan cuisine is not as loved as other foods such as Chinese, but it is just as colourful and yummy. The Moroccan national dish, Tagine, is a stew that is loved by many in Morocco and around the world. A tagine is a unique type of ceramic or clay cookware; the bottom is a wide, circular shallow dish for both cooking and serving, while the top of the tagine is distinctively shaped into a rounded dome. This distinctive shape for the lid allows condensed steam to run back down into the base, keeping the food moist and tender. This dish is slow-cooked inside this cooking vessel. This rich stew consists of meat, chicken or fish and often includes vegetables or fruit.
If you want to know what Moroccan food taste like, why not give this recipe a go. Give this to your mummy or daddy to help you cook this.
Spicy Moroccan Chicken Tagine Some ingredients you will need:
2kg chicken pieces (drumsticks and thighs) 2 tsp cayenne pepper 5 tsp ground black pepper 4 Tbsp paprika 4 Tbsp ground ginger 3 Tbsp turmeric 5 Tbsp ground cinnamon 6 Tbsp olive oil 6 Tbsp argan oil (or sunflower oil) 6 large onions, finely diced 9 cloves garlic, minced 500ml tomato juice 3x400g tinned chopped tomatoes 300g dried apricots, halved 150g raisins or sultanas 2 preserved lemons (chopped) 200 g blanched flaked almonds 2 tsp strands saffron, soaked in cold water 1 litre chicken stock 3 Tbsp clear honey
1. Place the cayenne pepper, black pepper, paprika, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix to combine. 2. Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and toss together with half of the spice mix. Cover with cling film and leave overnight in the fridge. 3. Preheat the oven to 150C. 4. Heat 3 Tbsp each of the olive oil and argan oil in a large casserole/ Tagine dish that can be used on the stovetop or in the oven. 5. Add the onions and the remaining spice mix and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes until the onions are soft but not coloured. Add the garlic for the final 3 minutes. 6. Heat the remaining oil in a heavy griddle pan and when it is really hot, place the chicken pieces skin side down in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes (use a splatter screen - it's going to sizzle and spit!). 7. Turn over and cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and place in the casserole/Tagine dish. 8. Pour 250ml tomato juice into the griddle pan and stir well, scraping up all the bits on the bottom, then pour the contents of the pan into the casserole dish. 9. Add the remaining tomato juice, chopped tomatoes, apricots, preserved lemon, raisins, flaked almonds, saffron, stock and honey to the casserole/ Tagine dish. 10. Bring to the boil, cover with a tightly fitting lid and cook in the oven for 30-45 minutes or until the chicken is tender. You can have this dish with couscous or potatoes.

Mint Tea is the drink of Morocco; this tea is drunk at various times of the day and after meals. It is a bit different to the mint tea we drink at home, this tea is flavored with mint and sweetened with plenty of sugar.
Morocco produces all the food it needs to feed its people. Its many homegrown fruits and vegetables include oranges, melons, tomatoes sweet and hot peppers, and potatoes. Five more native products that are especially important in Moroccan cooking are lemons, olives, figs, dates, and almonds. Located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the country is rich in fish and seafood. Beef is not plentiful, so meals are usually built around lamb or poultry.
Pattern that Tagine!

While I knew the peak hours were supposed to be between midnight and 4 a.m., the eastern sky was totally dark by 6:30 p.m. so I headed to the unheated upstairs bedroom and looked out the east-facing windows. Yep. Castor and Pollax (the twins) were just visible through bare tree branches. (I shivered. The room was only 48F and much colder by the window.) The meteors should radiate from that point in the sky. Maybe I could come back later, before bed, and check things out. Yep. Later. (Brrr. I could practically see my breath, it was so cold.) Just as I was turning away from the window a whopper of a shooting star streaked across the sky. WOW!
|Nest - morning after
I watched for over an hour, got terribly stiff, went back downstairs for hot tea and a stretch, then came back. While they'd forecasted a peak show after midnight, I enjoyed quite a few (How many? I didn't count or take pics - I was there just to enjoy.) very showy meteors. Far more than I've ever seen at one sitting in my day.
Near midnight the show slowed down. So much so that I couldn't keep awake, so, I headed downstairs and went to bed. I don't know if the 'peak' show was up to predictions or not.

There will still be some shooting stars to see tonight as the earth moves past the debris field, so if you didn't see any last night, you might get lucky this evening. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
