Alan Rosen is only 43 years old, so he wasn't around back then. But he imagines this is what it used to be like at Junior's when his grandfather ran the popular Brooklyn eatery: a bustling morning crowd, some there for breakfast, some for a drink to start the day, many others for cheesecake. His grandfather would watch them pay their check and catch the trolley car to Ebbets Field to watch the Dodgers.
Six decades later, Rosen sees it, too, customers streaming out the front door and heading a few blocks south to take in a game. "It's like everything repeats itself," Rosen said the other day. "Granted, the history isn't there yet with this team, but you can see it starting."
After a 55-year hiatus, professional sport is back in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Nets moved from Newark and began play at the new Barclays Center. The NHL's New York Islanders announced they'll be relocating soon, too. The teams are riding a wave of communal change, as gentrification and revitalization have redefined whole sections of the gritty borough. Brooklyn has become a brand as much as a community, and many of its neighborhoods are as fashionable as anything in Manhattan.
The population of Brooklyn today is about 2.6 million people. If the borough was its own city, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago would be the nation's only larger metropolises. There are nearly 100 languages spoken throughout Brooklyn, as people from all corners of the world have set up camp somewhere in the borough.
"Anything you can find in this world, you can find in Brooklyn," said Brett Yormark, the chief executive of the Nets and Barclays Center.
Until last month, professional sport was not included on that list. The bustling borough has cycled through its share of identities and living conditions in the past half-century, a coarse but proud community of working-class underdogs, a mecca for music, a melting pot of poverty. But it had been a wasteland for sport.
"Brooklyn was the subject of jokes," said Brooklyn-born writer Roger Kahn, who authored the best-selling tome "The Boys of Summer," about a father, a son and the Brooklyn Dodgers. "The thick accents and always losing. I mean, Brooklyn wasn't even a city. Topeka was a city but Brooklyn wasn't. We were Manhattan's dormitory."
In the early part of the 20th century, Brooklyn was an industrial, commercial power, said Julie Golia, public historian at the Brooklyn Historical Society. It had a working-class economy that thrived especially on waterfront commerce. It was always diverse, but the Dodgers — named after locals who dodged trolley cars in the busy streets — managed to tie together all the different factions.
"I think that's one of the reasons the Dodgers have become a pivot point of nostalgia," Golia said. "The Dodgers symbolically became this glue that held together Brooklynites."
The Dodgers blossomed into a perennial contender with Branch Rickey running the front office and filling his roster with stars such as Gil Hodges, Duke Snider and Jackie Robinson. But as the interstate highway system grew and business fled the borough following World War II, people followed. White flight coincided with African Americans migrating from the South. With the loss of the Dodgers to Los Angeles in 1957 and, within a decade, the closure of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the borough's makeup and identity were permanently altered. It was still diverse and packed with people from all backgrounds, but they no longer assembled under the same tent.
"It was the unifying force," Kahn said. "Italians, Jewish, everyone gathered around the Dodgers. Think of a great oak tree falling and when it's down, there's a lonesome place against the sky."
"I think that's one of the real tensions of the Nets coming in," Golia said. "Will the Nets have that ability to draw together the diverse population the way the Dodgers did?"
Walter O'Malley didn't want to move the Dodgers. He proposed building a new stadium near Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue. When he couldn't get the lot, he instead moved his team across the country. More than a half-century later, real estate mogul Bruce Ratner picked an adjacent lot to try to resurrect professional sport in Brooklyn.
Ratner bought the Nets in 2003 with the hopes of moving the team, an ambitious undertaking with a web of red tape. "When Bruce Ratner interviewed me eight years ago, I said, 'Bruce, I'm not into real estate,' " said Yormark, who came to the Nets from NASCAR. " 'What's Plan B?' He looked at me and said: 'There is none. We're going to get this done.' "
Ratner and Yormark successfully battled neighborhood opposition and secured much-needed funding when Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov bought a majority stake in the team. Construction began in March 2010.
The new 18,000-seat arena is sleek in its curves and rusty in its exterior, tying together new Brooklyn and old. It straddles neighborhoods, located where downtown Brooklyn connects with Fort Greene and Prospect Heights.
It's an emerging area, the locals say, that's trying to move forward while still retaining its old charms. Junior's, for example, is located cater-corner from an Applebee's restaurant. While so much of the borough is unchanged by time, the area around Barclays Center is zoned for mixed use and the newest tenants include Old Navy, Best Buy, Marshalls and Chuck E. Cheese.
While hipsters fill Williamsburg bars and young couples park their strollers outside Park Slope cafes, there are still several areas with more grit than shine, from Brownsville to Sheepshead Bay. The Nets and Islanders hope the new teams can somehow connect them all together, an important part of the borough's growth.
"This story is eight years in the making," Yormark said. "And over those eight years, this market certainly has changed. Downtown Brooklyn, the retailers that are coming in, they're looking at this as a must-be place for their business. As artists and entertainers are finding it, it's a must-play when they come to New York. What we're doing here is really a catalyst for the continued renaissance of Brooklyn."
The arena has been open less than two months. It's already hosted NBA games, boxing, college basketball and musical concerts, including shows that featured pop star Justin Bieber and aging English rockers The Who.
"The most important thing is you have a place where people want to go," Islanders owner Charles Wang said. "That's what we have now in Barclays Center and in Brooklyn."
The NBA team and the arena employ 1,900 part-time workers, and 90 percent of them are from Brooklyn. The Nets' 11,000 season tickets exceeded early estimates. According to team officials, 40 percent of that base is Brooklynites, while another 25 percent are from Manhattan and 12 percent from New Jersey.
"We're not conceding all the neighboring markets and boroughs, like Long Island or Manhattan or Staten Island or Queens. But from Day One, to be successful, we knew we needed to own Brooklyn," Yormark said. "And I think we're on our way to owning Brooklyn."
Nets games feel like those in any other NBA city. Maybe there's a bit more Jay-Z played on the public-address system. And because the famous hip-hop star is a minority owner of the team, there's also a 40/40 Club in the arena and a Rocawear store outside. He also helped design the team's distinctive black and white uniforms. But the presentation is similar to what fans would find elsewhere, even if Brooklynites are still processing the in-game experience.
"The chemistry between our crowds and our players, we still have a ways to go," Nets Coach Avery Johnson said. "We're not Miami or the Lakers where we've been in the building for a long time. We're still learning. It's still a feel-out process."
While the team's business operations are in Brooklyn, the players are spread around Manhattan and northern New Jersey. The Nets still practice in East Rutherford, N.J., but the facility was damaged by Hurricane Sandy and the team is temporarily practicing in Brooklyn.
Brook Lopez was drafted by the Nets in 2008 and said being in Brooklyn is "a complete 180" from his time in Jersey. There's a different attitude, said Lopez, who's already found a comic book store on Bergen Street to frequent.
"We definitely feel like we're part of something special," he said.
The Nets mark the eighth NBA team for Jerry Stackhouse. He remembers playing in Newark in half-full arenas, listening to crowd noise piped through the public-address system. Moving to Brooklyn has been like getting upgraded from coach to first class.
"We have a chance to be a little Hollywood," he said.

500, 472, 425, 368 Discussion, 500sx in Cadillac Engine Discussion; ah ok... so the Nissan was an example? Personally, one of the coolest 500 builds for use in something besides ...
Re: 500sx
ah ok... so the Nissan was an example?
Personally, one of the coolest 500 builds for use in something besides a Caddy..... not counting the Winnebago and speed boat I want to do some day...is an 80's G-body.
These cars had lines stright from the muscle car days. body on frame, RWD, typical GM mix n match goodies etc....
I have a soft spot in my heart for these cars... I like them alot, especially one of the brands the outside styling is perfect, interior is good, nice chassis.... repaint it, add a sweet sound system and it would be a sweet car.
I personally think the G-body would be a far, far better platform for such a build then a 240SX-type car. Not to mention, the G-body is farily light for what it was... 3,300lbs? Everyone remembers the Grand National and how freakin insanely fast that was with the Turbo SFI 3.8 V6...... picture a 500 with literally twice the HP/torque!
These cars are downright cheap! If you wanna make it a really fun project, find one that is solid, no rust, but fadded paint etc... if you were planning on painting it anyway... maybe do a little interior work and stuff add some nice wheels etc... Plus, you get a car with an amazing history of a nameplate, that means alot (to me personally )
Among the choices:
Buick Regal:
Chevy Monte Carlo:
Re: 500sx
Pontiac Grand Prix:
and finally, obvisouly my favorite... and yet another car I want....
Oldsmobile Cutlass! :
my absolute FAVORITE exhaust exit for a car (and this was stock!) this is exactly what I would do to both the DeVilles if/when I get dual exhaust.... love it.
Pretty nice interior for the era..... I add some tint, a nice sound system and you are good.
I think it would be the perfect chassis for a BB Cad... anything smaller of a car would seem like a waste.... unless you want to reinvent the 427 Shelby Cobra
Most these pictures are stock 20 year old cars... loose the vinyl roof, some of the unneeded exterior trim, get a kickass paint job in your favorite color, tint the windows... some nice traditional American wheels like Cragers or something..... it would be a REALLY nice car, perfect package... far more practical then the Charger, much more rounded then a 500 240SX, and a whole lot faster and more nimble then a 1976 Eldorado convertible.... oh yeah, and it'll be Right Wheel Drive
Thats what I would do
Re: 500sx
Look at the front end of the Buick and Cutlass....
imagine the grille and headlight bezels painted black! damn... that would look so nice....
- Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements
Re: 500sx
1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Out of the G-Bodies, thats the one I would go with
'87 and '88 were the only years to have the one piece headlights, which looked better IMO. And if its a Cutlass Supreme Brougham, it has the really nice seats and other niceities.
Re: 500sx
Yes, but how much does one of these cars cost, in good condition?
Re: 500sx
Previous gen Eldorado is really nice too... again, I really like nearly everything about the car....
but its FWD... so unless you want to be at the same spot as you are the '76, you either getta get crafty... which is probably a whole lot more work then its worth... or move on...
I dunno, that car is so sweet, it may be worth the RWD conversion.... I sat in one at the junkyard and loved the loooong hood, the back is short but you don't notice it in the car... very nice car in general.
The front is cool with so much character going on...
Re: 500sx
Ah yes, I forgot the last 2 years had the composite headlights... yeah, they did look really good!Originally Posted by terrible one
if you want a cream puff to tear out the engine... you'll be surprised how many 85 year old grannys drive these things, then stop driving, and you not have a mint, garage kept 60k mile 20 year old car.... These had Laquer paint, so no stupid GM clear coat problems
The sweetness of a 1988 Cutlass.... the "Oldsmobile" and "Cutlass" nameplate are so worth the whole package!
5,000RPM redline... perfect for a nicely built 500
Re: 500sx
It would be awesome to do an RWD conversion. But it's expensive. The two main points of the project, again, are cheap and fast. There are hundreds upon hundreds of better cars for a 500 swap than the 240sx, of course. But how many of them are this cheap, and even this light?
Re: 500sx
I love all of these cars you guys are showing me. They make me want to go buy them.
Re: 500sx
If you plan on repainting it, something like this....
minor surface rust, needs a repaint, but solid, pretty nice interior, good project car... do the engine/drivetrain shop, send it to Macco for a $600 paintjob (which woudln't look half bad) and you have a kickass, nice looking car
There are better examples tho.
Another good example in need of some paint:
For a car with nice paint and stuff they are about $1.5k... still, cheap price for the start of a nice car... some of the Buicks/Chevys even have T-tops...how cool is that?
I don't know how much you are budgeting for a car. I'll tell ya one thing tho, if you are willing to spend as much as $2,000.... you'll get a MINT G-body.
Re: 500sx
About a 500V8 into a 79-85 Eldorado...
One of my car dreams (other than a 525 hp 460 in a '76 Mark IV) is to put a 350LS6 into a 83 Eldorado Biarritz. Now I'm not sure if that specific motor will fit in that car, I thought since they used 350s in 79 and 80, maybe it would. If not that motor, than something like a 472/500 possibly.
How much work/money would a RWD conversion be?
Re: 500sx
dude.... G-body, under a grand... most will have fadded paint.. just the nature of the beast. Deal with it, it'll be a super-sleeper.
Once its all done, you can paint it, add ghost flames whatever... but for under a grand you will have a solid, near perfect chassis, mint interior, running and driving. About the downside.... again, would be fadded paint.
Naturally it is a perfect choice for a 500... with Chevy 305's, Olds 307's and 3.8 V6, it shoudln't be too hard to adapt the 500, mounts are avalible. The TH400 will bolt right up, and these cars should all have a 7.5" 10-bolt standard GM rear, you may even luck out with the gearing (probably no Posi tho) and be able to use it for awhile until something else comes along.
Really, the G-body would be a go, with the Eldo being FWD, you wanting a cheap, yet light weight car... what else is there to consider? These things are full frame, RWD... pretty solid cars with nice options.. all power, cruise etc...
Buy one of those examples for $800, you can even drive it as a regular car while the Eldo is getting done, then as a 2nd car, it woudln't be pretty, woudln't be the fastest and woudln't be the best on gas (though not too bad at all) but gosh, talk about double duty... $800 and you get a fully driveable car for the current time, then at a later time it would be perfect to build up with a 500.
Plus, as much as I joke with the Olds 307, its a great engine, yeah, it was a dog in the Broughams... but with nearly 1,000lbs shaved off and more realistic gearing, the 307 in the G-body was pretty stout for the day (rare 442 had 180hp ) Same goes for the 305, good performance (SS had 350 IIRC) and the Buick got the 3.8 V6.. the carbed versions were kinda junky, the FI was pretty good, and for the purpose of a temperary daily driver, would be perfect, the go-fast editions for Buick got the legendary Turbo 3.8 (T-types, GN) All had 4spd trans... IIRC 200R4, maybe the 700.... either way, the TH400 would be a must with the Caddy.
But I know your driving situation right now... a moped woudln't cut it for me persoanlly nor borrowing parents car.... atleast like this you'll have a fully running and driving car for yourself, then make it go-fast when you are ready.... whole lot better then sitting in the driveway taking up space
Re: 500sx
Or I suppose you could do a cliche and build one out of a Firebird or Camaro....
But you wouldnt wanna do that now!
Re: 500sx
I personally woudln't want a 500 in an F-body.
The only one worth doing would be a 1st gen.... yeah, can you say expensive?
so 2nd gen would be a consideration... but eh...
this is alot more money then his idea is right now... plus, I personally don't like the idea of it in general.
Go to a car show how many F-bodys are there? sre they are SBC... but still
go to a car show and how many G-bodys are there?
IMO its just a much better platform, I like the looks and style of the G-body.... would be a better home for the 500 IMO.
Plus.... Oldsmobile didn't make an F-body
Re: 500sx
I like the '87 Cutlass...

WEB EXCLUSIVE: BASF has expanded its line of biodegradable resins with a grade for agricultural films. New Ecovio F Mulch is a blend of PLA biobased plastic and BASF's Ecoflex biodegradable polyester (non-biobased). BASF (U.S. office in Wyandotte, Mich.) has offered Ecoflex F Mulch for years, which compounders have mixed with other materials to produce individualized formulations for agricultural customers. New Ecovio F Mulch requires no further compounding. It produces film that can be as thin as 10 μm without tearing or puncturing when placed on the field by machine. Conventional PE mulch film is usually at least twice as thick. And because it is biodegradable, Ecovio mulch film can be left in the field after the harvest and plowed under, rather than gathered up for disposal or recycling.

Although the auto industry is concerned about the case currently before the Supreme Court that seeks to require the federal government (via the EPA) to set greenhouse gas emission standards.
But in reality, even a victory for the environmentalists shouldn't worry auto execs as changes to their vehicles probably won't be mandated to begin for many model years given the current administration.
Until now the EPA hasn't considered carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases pollutants, and so it has not issued any regulations. If the Supreme Court rules that the EPA should start regulating greenhouse gas emissions, the Bush Administration could choose to "intensively study" the issue for the remainder of his presidency and leave any decisions to the next administration Or, the EPA could set minimal requirements that the auto industry is expected to achieve anyway, which it has a history of doing.
In the extremely unlikely event that the EPA comes up with meaningful greenhouse gas controls, the auto industry would have its attorneys tie up the process with countersuits and appeals into the next decade.
Although the conservative-leaning court may be more apt to rule against the dozen states who want the government to deal with global warming a faction of conservatives supports the lawsuit, which may be enough to sway Roberts et al. Several evangelical groups are concerned about our abuse of the environment and support greenhouse gas regulations.
So can we end the "debate" about global warming now? I mean if a group with members who don't buy into evolution believe that global warming is real, then even W. should believe.
Eventually there will be meaningful greenhouse gas regulation in this country, but don't expect the auto industry to be required to begin changing its ways until at least 2009.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Hello, St. Petersburg?By
Add one more name to the growing list of telephone companies seeking to profit from the rising worldwide demand for phone services: Petersburg Long Distance, formerly NWE Capital. Its market is St. Petersburg, Russia, where multinationals including Eastman Kodak, Philip Morris, RJR Nabisco, and Honda Motor are operating. Shares started trading on the over-the-counter market on Feb. 18 at 7 1/4. They're now up to 9 1/8.
"The stock is sure to attract attention soon because Petersburg Long Distance is virtually a monopoly in that burgeoning city," says one London money manager. PLD's "tight business and political links in St. Petersburg reassure me about the company's future growth," he adds.
PLD owns 50% of PeterStar, a Russian company licensed to provide phone services in St. Petersburg. The local St. Petersburg telephone company owns 40% of PeterStar, and a group headed by St. Petersburg's mayor and Tiller International holds 10%.
Bill Hoppke, a vice-president and treasurer at Dominion Capital in Richmond, Va., says he's confident that PLD's growth will accelerate over the next two years. Dominion holds a 10% stake in Petersburg Long Distance. PLD Chairman and CEO Rupert Galliers-Pratt notes that St. Petersburg's phone system can't handle the rising volume of calls now that the multinationals set up shop. He says British Telecommunications has installed an earth station to link phone services by satellite, and GEC Plessey Telecommunications supplied pay-phone hardware.
Analyst Gordon Muir-Carby at Smith New Court Europe in London expects the company to turn a profit this year, with earnings of 58 a share, $1.07 next year, and $1.56 in 1995.

Conair Professional - Babyliss Scalp Massage Brush
Denman - Denman D3 Classic Styling Brush 7-Row
I used to struggle with scalp itchies with co-washing and would low poo often. No matter how much I scrubbed with the pads of my fingers it was never enough and I would end up with little white flakes at my scalp which was not dandruff. You can just massage with the scalp brush if you don't want to run it through your length but I never have build up issues anymore and low poo LESS since I started using my shampoo brush or denman. I think a lot of people afraid to use them because it's not supposed to be "CG" but who cares? You can still co wash or use botanical cleansers and shampoo less. The ultimate goal is to have healthier hair. So go ahead pick and choose what CG means to YOU by incorporating some or all of the original CG method and you'll be happier.

How to eat Shanghai hairy crabs
Shanghai cracks in the hairy crab (大闸蟹) season last week as Yangcheng Lake (阳澄湖) -- the main crab-breeding base near the city -- recently kicked off crabbing.
With an estimated five tons of hairy crabs due to crawl onto Shanghai dining tables from now till winter, it's high time to conquer your fear of whole steamed hairy crab, which is the best way to savor the crustacean.
Tearing apart an entire crab from shell to claw is considered a part of the fun of consuming the dish.
Some Shanghai restaurants will do all the dirty work, but why let them have all the fun?
More on CNNGo: Shanghai's best hairy crab
"Hairy crab is not a complex thing to eat once you get the hang of it," says Frenchman Emmanuel Souliere.
As avid hairy crab fan, Emmanuel was the hotel executive chef at Hilton Shanghai and will soon helm the kitchen at Conrad Beijing.
"It's education. Don't be scared to be a bit messy. It's part of the deal," he adds.
Souliere sat down to teach us how to crack, crunch and suck out the good bits.
1. Known as "hairy crab" (毛蟹) in English, the local name of the gourmet seafood is dazha xie, or big sluice crab (大闸蟹). Although it falls under the same family of hairy crab, only those heavier than 150 grams can be classified as dazha xie.
2. Dazha xie and hairy crabs are considered two different foods by real Shanghai foodies.
3. The best time to consume dazha xie is usually in September-November when they are freshly caught, while normal hairy crabs are eaten year-round in Shanghai.
4. The price difference between dazha xie and normal hairy crabs is staggering. Sometimes, dazha xie can be 30-50 times more expensive than normal hairy crabs. Make sure what you get is the real deal.
5. Although Yangcheng Lake is famous for its dazha xie, it's not the only breeding ground in China. Dazha xie are bred in many freshwater lakes along the East China coast, for example Hongze Lake (洪泽湖) and Tai Lake in Jiangsu Province.

How To Buy Tickets Using RZD.RU
Due to some renovations that have been made on the RZD website there is now impossible to use SEAT MAP. For detailed instruction you can use this one that was provide by Tripadvisor forum.
If you'd like to buy the tickets for the Russian trains and do not want to pay additional fee for travel companies, then here you will find step-by-step instruction of how to buy tickets using official website of Russian RailRoads. I tried to make it as simple as it was possible. All the translation was automatic by Chrome, so if you do not want to use Chrome you can just print these screenshots and use them as guide when buying tickets. If you still have any questions you can feel yourself free to contact us using Request Form.
Step 1: Go straight to www.rzd.ru – it is in Russian and if you haven't got Chrome that could translate for you this website in attachment you'll see screenshots of this website in English. Now find in the upper right coner word "Регистрация" that means "Registration".
Step 2: Fill in the registration form. Note: You don't need to enter real info but your email has to be verifiable (it will be used to send you e-tickets).
Step 3: Now you can login, just press the button….
Step 4:… and fill in the login information.
Step 5: Now you will see the main window again but now you need to press link "Купить билет" which means "Buy The Ticket".
Step 6: Some of the users will see now this window because of mistake in the website. If you can see the link in the left table "Buy The Ticket" (like on screenshot for Step 7) then go further to Step 7. If you don't see this link just press link "Войти" ("Login") in the right upper corner (you wouldn't need to enter the information again but just your name will appear instead of link "Регистрация" ("Registration").
Step 7: Now press link in the left table "Купить билет" ("Buy The Ticket").
Step 8: Now you need to enter from what city are you planning to go to which one. It's a pretty simple set up: From, To, When (and one way ticket or round-trip ticket). Enter the names of the city pairs you want to buy a ticket for in the two boxes, and then the date that you want to select. Be aware that some trains only run on odd or even days, and others might only run once a week. Then press the orange button "Купить билет" ("Buy The Ticket").
Step 9: A process-data diagram…
Step 10: …and then all of the trains that are available the day that you've chosen will pop up as below. Tickets go on sale 45 days ahead of time, so if you want to plan ahead use the same weekday and the same type of number (for example, an even Saturday) that is available as far out as possible to get an idea of the schedules. The times remain very stable. On the right, you see the price in rubles and how many spots in each class are open. Important: departure AND arrival times are Moscow time. Now choose one of the train you'd like to travel by.
Step 11: When you click one of the trains, the others disappear. Now hit the button "Продолжить" ("Continue").
Step 12: Now you can see exactly what is available for you. The first column is which wagon it is in, and the category tells a little bit if there are extra services available. Sometimes wagons are marked with MF which indicate wagons with gender segregation. If you're traveling with someone of the opposite gender you'll want to avoid those, since you'll end up in different cabins. 1st class (suite) has two beds per cabin, 2 class (compartment) has four beds per cabin, and third class (economy-class) has an open layout with no distinct cabins. To see more about this click here.
Step 13: Select the category you'd like to travel and hit the orange button "Продолжить"
Step 14: Next, you could decide where in the wagon you want to be. It's been recommended to avoid the cabins at either end because of the proximity to the bathroom and the wheels. In order to get a middle cabin, you should enter a "border area". You can either specific which spots you'd like (for example, 31-32) or give a range and it will find a set that will work. There's also a great layout of the trains over at this website.
Step 15: Next up, personal information. For ID, you'll want to use a "33 – Иностранный документ" ("ZZ Foreign Instrument" or Your passport). Once you enter your information and it is filled right, then you'll see green table. Note: When fill table with your passport number just put only numbers, no signs like # or № and you passport information must match your real passport. Now you can hit orange button "Продолжить".
Step 16: After hitting the button, the system gives you a chance to review all the data once again. This is the what was entered in Step 5. Check the information carefully. It will be very difficult to change your tickets if there will be any mistake after you buy it. Hit the check mark, and then the orange button…
Step 17: The system will churn for a moment and then come back with spots based on your preferences. If you get a red error message, it's because your searching for spots (for example the desired location) that are already taken. You'll need to go back and change the search parameters. Otherwise, you'll get a page like this with prices, places, and everything else. Once you click on the next link, it will take you to payment. Check your details and dates here once again! It will not be shown on the next page!
Step 18: You'll need to enter your card information here. First line: Card Number. Second Line: CVV (on back of card). Third line: Cardholder's name. Fourth line: Expiration Date. You will need to have your card be part of Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure code. It's also a good idea to call your bank and let them know you're buying tickets from them. This part is from SeattleFlyerGuy's blog. If everything went right, you'll see a confirmation as below with the word: "Одобрено" (OK). Hit the button "Ok".
Step 19: Congratulations. You've purchased a ticket. Now you can sign up for the electronic ticket (so you can just get on the train and go. Not shown, but it's a matter of clicking a box and hitting the orange button) and print out your information by clicking on the little paper/documents icon called "Order Form". You will also have access to this information later via your RZD account.
PS: Would like to thank SeattleFlyerGuy which blog gave me idea to make this step-by-step instruction.

I am planning a second VBAC in the hospital (last birth was a successful HBAC), and I am due in 2 weeks. I know epi's can have neg effects on labor, but one of the reasons I am not having another home birth is the horrific pain I endured last time. I am convinced my labor/pushing (6 hours of pushing!) was so long because I was sooooo exhausted after enduring such horrible pain. Even my doula says she is pretty sure my exhaustion made everything so difficult and drawn-out.
I want the option of pain relief. I know the risks of epi's and interventions, as my first was a c/s after failed induction. But part of me has this gut feeling that if I had something to take the edge off, I would not have been so exhausted last time. My doula doesn't like the idea and has told me she has only had one VBAC client that had a successful VBAC while using an epi. On the other hand, I have a good friend who had 2 successful VBACs at the same hospital with the same practice (doctors), using an epi AND being induced!! I also know many women who have had very successful vaginal births using epidurals.
But I would really like to hear some reassurance from some moms who had successful VBACs using epi's. The thought of going through the same pain again terrifies me. None of the "natural" methods worked to ease my pain during my HBAC... it was horrible (I'm just being honest here!)!! I don't trust those natural methods to help me this time again. Baby seemed to be posterior last time (even though I was doing Webster's with a chiro weekly) and appears to be posterior again this time (and believe me, I've done everything, including Spinning Babies etc... mine just seem to like this position) so I totally expect the same level of pain. I know that fear of the pain will set my labor back unless I know I have access to some kind of relief.
So please, some successful stories of VBACs using epi's, and if you could please provide some detail (when you got the epi and for how long, ex. did you turn it down before pushing, etc)?
Thank you so much!!

I haven't had my VBAC yet - I'm 24 weeks pregnant. However, have you looked into whether your hospital offers lower dose epidurals like the combined spinal epidural ("walking epidural") or the PCEA (patient controlled anagelsia epidural)? The walking epidural often allows a woman to still move around the room instead of being stuck in bed, they may still feel their contractions but they are less painful/intense, and are able to relax a bit during labor yet still feel to push when ready.
Any kind of epidural though will require you to be monitored and have an IV (typically) so be sure you are ok with that.
I too had a posterior baby that resulted in a c-section and I'm terrified of the same thing happening again - especially after reading that my posterior baby was probably the reason for my one-on-top-of-the-other contractions and inability to relax between.
I look forward to hearing what other women have to say about their VBACs and epidurals.

I will ask about that! I will have to have a Hep-lock anyway as I am GBS+ this time and will need to get antibiotics.
GL with your VBAC too! :)

I had an epi with my first and it was successful.
I'd definitely give it a shot drug free but leave your options open. your 3rd birth might be nothing like your 2nd. Many 3rd timers have quick easy 3rd births.

I had c-sections with my first two, and was induced with my third due to blood incompatibility. I went in on Thursday morning, the Foley bulb and nip stim put me into early labor. It really wasn't too bad. Until it was. On Friday night, I went into active labor and I was just so tired, I was not handling the contractions well. At all. I got the epidural around 11?ish, when I was at 4cm. Slept for a while, woke up and had made progress to 5 or 6 cm. While later, I was complete. I labored down for a while- I could feel the pressure of the contractions and the baby moving down, but not the pain. After he came down a bit, I started pushing with the pressure of the contractions. Born at 2:50 a.m.
I am sorry to hear that you had such a hard time last time and hope that you can have a better experience this time around! If I may say something? I would reconsider your choice of doula. You need someone who is supportive of your choices, especially given your history. If you are informed, have weighed the risks and benefits, and more natural forms of pain relief aren't working for you, you should be supported in doing what is best for you.
Have a great birth- hope everything goes well :)
Midwifery Student and Mama to 2 daughters and 3 sons.
I have given birth a variety of ways and I am thankful for what each one has taught me.
I had two successful VBAC's - both with epidurals. I was NOT induced either time. Neither baby was posterior, but with my first VBAC my son did have his hand up by his little head...lol. I will mention that with my first birth, my water broke at home, contractions started on the way to the hospital (20 minute drive) and when I got there I was 3cm. They felt what they thought might be a foot. By the time they did a bedside ultrasound to confirm that he was indeed breech, I was 7 centimeters and his foot had prolapsed out of my vagina! This was all within an hour of me getting to the hospital. Needless to say, I dilate pretty quick.
With the first VBAC, my water broke at home at 37.2 weeks and contractions started soon after. I was 5 centimeters about 4 hours later, got the epi, and complete one hour after that. I remember pushing with a total of 6 contractions, and out he came!
With the second VBAC, I was in "early" labor, but unfortunately already at the hospital. I was attempting an un-medicated birth, and foolishly let them break my water at 3 centimeters even though I was not having regular contractions yet. I was 38.3 weeks. It took me 8 hours to get from 3 centimeters to 6 centimeters. That's when I got the epidural, and my daughter was born less than an hour later after about 1/2 of a push. Basically I barely beared down and had to stop because the doc didn't have his gloves on yet :)
Best of luck to you. The best advice I can offer you is if you do decide to get the epi, please wait until you "really" need it.....much less chance of your labor stalling. Some studies show that the risk of uterine rupture increases when you're at a particular dilation for a looooong time. I would suggest waiting at least until you're 5 centimeters. If you get an epi and you are "too numb" you can always ask them to turn it down. I'm a L&D nurse, and we do that all the time. Like a PP said, though, the 3rd birth could be very different and go fast enough that you don't even need any of this advice!

I DID!!!! Here's the short version of my birth story: http://www.mothering.com/community/forum/thread/1264157/my-natural-birth-with-an-epidural-vbac-success
I took the same outlook roadfamily suggested. I did it until I couldn't any more. Labor started on its own and progressed with encouragement from acupuncture. Baby was badly asynclitic, and I had atypical labor pain for which Hypnobabies did nothing. My epidural was perfect--so light that it just took away the worst of the pain but allowed me to use a bedpan and try a variety of positions (all in bed) to cope. It also worked well enough for the first 3 hours or so to allow me to sleep which was important since I'd been awake for about 24 hours at that point. I also felt the urge to push and had zero coached pushing. (I actually didn't have the epidural IN when he was born but still had some residual pain relief.)
I was stretchy to 7cm by the time the epi was administered, so I'm sure that had *something* to do with my success.

8g, 7g, 4b, 2g
I labored at home until I felt the need to go to the hospital. I was already 8 cms by the time I got there and got the epidural about an hour later. It did stall my labor and even with a 'low dose' I couldn't walk around the room. Looking back I realize that I was in transition and probably could have avoided it if I had been better mentally prepared/aware instead of loosing myself to the pain. I was able to successfully have my VBAC though!
Thank you so much ladies!! :) I love hearing the positive stories!
I had planned on staying at home as long as possible but I am GBS+ this time... I know there is a lot of controversy around being GBS+ but I am scared to take any chances and want the antibiotics (they did a special culture so the "right" antibiotics will be used, that and I am allergic to pennicilin). Were any of you GBS+?
Mommy to beauties DS1 (7), DS2 (4, autism), & DS3 (2)
and many angel babies
I was only GBS+ with the first one....my cesarean baby....and ironically the only one I didn't have time to get antibiotics with. He was fine, though.
Lisa L&D RN mama to DS#1 (4-01) DS#2 (9-03) DD (10-05) X2, 10-2011
I posted above and I was GBS+. My water didn't break until I was pushing and they did start the antibiotics as soon as I was in the hospital. Like I mentioned the epidural really slowed my labor down so my DS wasn't born for another 8 hours (I think) after getting to the hospital even though I was so far dilated. I think he was also needed to get in a better position.
I had a VBAC with a epi with my second. I had labored for 24 hours prior to receiving the epidural. I also knew my baby was in an optimal position (LOA, 6 cm, and at 0 station). It is hard to say if my labor slowed down as it was incredibly slow the entire labor. I delivered 12 hours after receiving the epi. I only pushed for 45 min with a 9+lb baby. BTW - My first birth was an induction and I pushed for 3 hours and he never moved down. DS1 was 7lbs 5 oz.
Birth Doula, Yarn Dyer and Knitter
A few thoughts.
Do not let anyone do internal exams, this to avoid infection, prom and the possibility of baby getting into a bad position.
Develop a pain management list. That might be getting the hypno scripts, relaxation exercises like Bradley Birth uses, walking being verticle, learn the emotional stages/signposts of labor,
use water shower, bath as comfort methods, etc do this and use this list before you get medicine give yourself and your bodythe opportunity to let nature do its thing.
The OB is had when we transferred care from home, AROM'ed me got dd stuck, I got a epidural as prep in my mind for surgery. A nurse helped me get into this crazy position of right knee up around left shoulder while laying down, this to try and turn dd and get her unstuck. To my AMAZEMENT it worked. DD spun and moved off wham baby!
VBAC vibes!
I did. It made all the difference in the world. I was days into labor and looking at a real possibility of being cut again, but the epi relaxed me enough to open me up so I was ready to push. I only pushed for 30 minutes (my first labor too!).
There are a lot of women who are more comfortable in a hospital setting because of the risks during VBAC, I'm one of them, but in my case the hospital setting HELPED me get my VBAC. I'm no super woman, the pain sucked, I don't think I could've done it without the epi. I'm SO glad that I got my VBAC, and even now, 5 months later, I'm so proud of myself for doing it and proving my bonehead doctors wrong.
Best of luck!
I was afraid to get an epi during my VBAC because I feel that that was part of why I had my c/s (induction 10 days past due, basically stuck in bed on pit, epi at 4 cm, maternal fever, fetal heartrate increase, I couldn't get to 10 cm in their timeframe so c/s - I didn't know much back then), because I didn't learn until after he was born that epi's can cause a fever. With my VBAC, I was walking and doing okay, but he kept moving off the monitor - the hospital was very encouraging of VBAC but required continuous monitoring, luckily they had mobile monitors - and so I ended up laboring for a while on the toilet, but STILL he wouldn't stop. I was literally trying to get through contractions with my hand pressing the monitor onto my belly! So they wanted me to lie down to get checked, I guess, I think I was around 5 cm and they gave me something to take the edge off for a little while and while I was laying down I felt this almost uncontrollable urge to push. I knew it wasn't time and having to fight the urge was totally destroying the concentration I needed to get through the contractions. I was so panicked I said, that's it, epidural, NOW. I was having a lot of back labor - they told me after he was born he was "sunny side up" but I have still never actually found out what that means in medical terms. I also found out later that sometimes when they're in that position you can get the urge to push before it's time. Anyway, after the epi I got to 8-9 very fast, in just a couple of hours (I had gotten to the hospital at around 9am, I don't know what time exactly I had the epi but it was afternoon), but 9-10 took some time. I had been told this was because in my previous labor I had never gotten to 10, only to 9, and so that it would take more time. Then because I wasn't in pain I tried to nap some while the baby moved down. When it was time to push I had the epi turned down. I could feel things but I never got back the urge to push. It took me an hour and a half, about, to get him out, but I did. 10 lbs, 8 oz.
But I was so terrified all the time after the epi. I wish I had been better able to communicate to my doula and my husband what my problem was, with the urge to push. Maybe there was something I could have done to quiet it, or maybe not. I know I remember asking the nurse, when I had gotten to 9 or so, how the baby's heartrate was and they said he was doing perfectly fine, no issues...I just kept crying. I was so relieved it wasn't happening all over again.
I'm intrigued by the stories of the other women in this thread have who had epidurals so light they could walk, that they could still feel the urge to push. That's a very useful thing.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is facing renewed criticism from the European Commission over its slow response to consumer-protection concerns that the group raised with the company regarding its in-app purchase policies. As noted in the European Commission's press release, European Union member countries teamed up with the commission to improve protections for consumers after a growing number of complaints from around Europe about misleading "freemium" apps that resulted in unintended in-app purchases. The marketing of in-app items to children was a particular concern for the commission, since many of the consumer complaints involved unauthorized charges made by children on a parent's credit card.
European Commission asked Apple, Google (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL), and relevant trade organizations to find solutions to four major consumer-protection concerns that it had. The European Commission asked that "[1] Games advertised as 'free' should not mislead consumers about the true costs involved; [2] Games should not contain direct exhortation to children to buy items in a game or to persuade an adult to buy items for them; [3] Consumers should be adequately informed about the payment arrangements for purchases and should not be debited through default settings without consumers' explicit consent; [4] Traders should provide an email address so that consumers can contact them in case of queries or complaints."
According to the European Commission, Google has already provided a list of the changes that it will make in response to the commission's concerns, and implementation is already underway. Google's in-app purchase policy changes include not using the word "free" to describe games with in-app purchase options, developing guidelines for app developers to prevent direct exhortation to children, and an improved system for tracking violations of EU consumer laws. Google also modified the default settings for its apps so that every in-app purchase must be individually authorized unless a consumer decides to change the settings.

The units were usually connected in such a way that they shared lube with the tranny. All the gears churning would heat that up too, so you should be fine. When locked out of Od there is only two bearings turning. When in OD the planetary gears are moving around their shafts and inside the drum. Just that little bit of oil should be fine. You could easily rig a convection circulating external tank. Drill a hole in your front cover right above the high fluid mark with the trans cold, and another around the 1/4 full mark. Connect hoses to a small tank... I think it should be at the same level as the unit. As the fluid heats up it would run into the reservoir and cooler oil would be drawn in from the lower tube. But I don't think it's necessary.
Just be careful cutting out of OD! As fas as I know the unit should be fine running in OD all the time, just don't pop the clutch and do any burn outs with it unless locked out! I'd also cut OD off if pulling a heavy load, at least for takeoff. If you run across another unit you might want to pick it up, even if it's from a different make. The planetary set should be the same, as well as the output shaft (though the splines could be different, I don't think so -- should be the same as Borg Warner T-10 output/yoke, also used on large three speeds and the bigger BW auto trannys). The input splines will be different though. If it goes the planetary set and output shaft (drum is made onto the shaft) will be trashed.

USPlabs A++ products!
Loving that we have a fitness place on here now, this is great!
Pre-Workout powder (workout/energy intensifier)
Just throwing this out there if you are looking for a product like W.A.R. , N.O. Xplode , NaNo Vapor, etc... and you want to get more bang for the $$ try out USPlabs' Jack3d
here is a quick summary of Jack3d
Key Ingredients may support intensity, strength, energy, power, endurance & pumps.
*No sugars
*No calories
*No Maltodextrin
*No More Monster Doses Of Magnesium
*No artificial dyes
*You are not paying for 2 base ingredients and 20 filler ingredients
Augmenting 3 systems to work together so they can keep up with each other during the workout. This is TRUE synergism.
*GREAT taste!
*Ultra-concentrated – needs only 4-8 ounces of water per serving!
[:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]*The BEST damn value you'll ever find in a pre-workout product.[:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]**
This is taken directly from their site located HERE
and here is where you will find info on the Jack3d ----> CLICK ME!
For helping with controlling weight while working out, I do NOT believe in a pill that you can take a burn fat without working out or exercise it simply just won't happen get off your ass and go run, workout EVEN IF it is for 30 min!! that is 30 min more than your body is used to and you will see a difference (depending on body weight/fat/etc...)
OxyElite PRO
This is a pill form to help maintain body fat (targeting the mid section of the body) to help prevent alot of fat build up and help you burn the fat while you workout/exercise.
each pill has only 100mg of caffeine in them, which is MUCH MUCH less than energy drinks and other forms of weight loss pills.
To truly maximize the result of any supplement, you must combine with proper nutrition & exercise plans.... sure you might lose a couple pounds while on the pill and NOT exercising but that is just water weight.. to help burn the fat you NEED to exercise!
here is the link to the OxyElite PRO page ----> CLICK ME!
I hope this helps anyone who is looking to get the bang for their $$
DO NOT BUY DIRECTLY FROM USPLabs!!!
the prices on their site are about 2 times as much as it is at GNC. the price at GNC is about 33$ for a container of Jack3d and the OxyElite PRO runs about 40$ for a 1 month bottle (90 capsules) and of course about 80$ for a 2 month (180 capsules)
I will vouch for USPlabs, I have been taking their products (at least JACK3D since 2 years ago, and I love the intensity of my workouts now) the OxyElite PRO is really good and it has helped me slim my abs down and tone up some with the help of working out everyday during the week.
here is a before and after pic... the before pic was taken at the end of december and the after pic was on the 31st of january.
as you can tell I lost a couple inches around the waist (about 2 inches) My pant size was at 36 now at 34 :)
Jack3d is old news man where ya been? And lol @ the girl posing in the background.
Posted via FF Mobile
i know it's old news but not to alot of people that aren't heavy into workouts and things! I just recently got employeed at Anytime fitness in bridgeport,wv. and I was surprised by the amount of folks that don't know about USPlabs
I think USP is alright... But, the big thing about Jack3d that most ppl feel/like is the d1,3, which can be bought in bulk for dirt cheap, and dosed/added to any pre-workout you like...
For the money, my favorite is Controlled Labs Green Magnitude/White Flood or MP Assault... Plus, it's very possible that Jack3d's big ingredient (the d1,3) may be banned in the not so long future... Already banned in Australia and a few other countries because ppl are using it as a party drug, lol.
BUT... If you just "love love love" Jack3d... You can get it for a little over $20 online... For example: http://store.lockoutforums.com/shop/...s=jack&x=0&y=0
Jack3d... sucks.
End of story.. Old news.
Hello RAVAGE! Google it
i love jack3d!!!! favorite supplement i've ever taken... i feel like a beast everytime i'm in the gym after taking it

This is the concept art of He-Man's new armor that will appear in the story. But why does He-Man need armor? You'll have to wait and see
This thread is where I'll be posting concept art and the actual story for what I'm hoping will be an enjoyable experience. I hope everyone likes the updates and if possible could leave feedback.
Synopsis: After yet another crushing defeat, Skeletor conducts an experiment to fuse his Havok Staff with the shards of the Ram Stone, and in doing so accidentally summons a powerful being from another world. Now the Overlord of Evil plans to use this being to wage war on all of Eternia, forcing the Twins of Power to consult with the Spirit of Grayskull himself to discover how to stop the Child of Tyranny. A Masters of the Universe and a Dungeons and Dragons crossover.
Hopefully I can post an update at least once a month. Hope to see you there!
This is the concept art of He-Man's new armor that will appear in the story. But why does He-Man need armor? You'll have to wait and see
It´s sounds like a nice start!
A Desperate Skeletor and the Twins of Power combined make up for a good story!
Armor is never a bad thing, the sword looks really long, almost like a lance …?

For France's Socialists, Grimmer Times Are Coming
It's the French Socialists' last hope. Even though center-right President Jacques Chirac won reelection in a landslide on May 5, leftists such as Socialist Party chief François Hollande have been predicting they'll make a comeback in the June parliamentary elections. Their reasoning: After rallying to support Chirac against far-rightist Jean-Marie Le Pen, the Left is mobilized to capture a majority in the National Assembly, name a new Prime Minister, and compel Chirac to "cohabit" again with a Socialist-led government.
But as the campaign cranks up for the June 9 and 16 vote, the Socialists' chances for a majority are rapidly fading. Recent polls show the Right running ahead by as much as ten percentage points. One reason is that Chirac is using his bully pulpit to seize the initiative on the hot issue of law and order and to defend France's values--even publicly demanding an apology when rowdy fans booed during the playing of La Marseillaise at a recent champion soccer game. Chirac also grabbed headlines by appointing a law-and-order czar, Nicholas Sarkozy, who is setting up special crime-fighting squads. And after his vanquished opponent, Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, resigned, Chirac named the center-rightist Jean-Pierre Raffarin to head the government. A pragmatist from the provinces, he is playing well with disaffected voters.
Even worse for the Socialists, their party is grappling with an identity crisis. Jospin was knocked out of the presidential race after running as a moderate whose views were often hard to distinguish from Chirac's. Now, the Socialists are steering leftward, aiming at the more than 20% of all voters who cast ballots for Trotskyist, Communist, and Green presidential candidates. A new platform, crafted by former Labor Minister Martine Aubry, features left-wing crowd pleasers such as raising the minimum wage and slowing privatization. But such measures threaten to alienate professionals and mid-level managers who often vote Socialist. "They could lose the middle class," warns Pascal Perrineau, director of the Center for the Study of French Political Life.
In contrast to the emboldened Right, the Left appears leaderless. That's ironic, because after five years of running the government, it has a stronger stable of nationally known politicians than the Right does. The problem is that heavy hitters such as Aubry and former Finance Ministers Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Laurent Fabius are competing against each other for influence. That's why party leaders compromised by naming the competent but bland Hollande to lead the parliamentary campaign.
It all leaves voters scratching their heads over who would become Prime Minister if the Left were to win. Aubry is popular with the Socialists' left wing but is generally considered too abrasive to head a "cohabitation" government with Chirac. The Socialists' new hard-line platform would make it awkward for them to put forward a market-friendly figure such as Strauss-Kahn or Fabius.
With their chances looking increasingly grim, some Socialists privately argue that defeat in the parliamentary election should spur a badly-needed shakeup in the party. Strauss-Kahn and Fabius want the Socialists to hold a convention to jettison their hard-left positions and redefine themselves as reformist Social Democrats. But left-wing leaders such as parliamentary finance committee chairman Henri Emmanuelli warn that the party would "dig its own grave" by positioning itself in the center. In this election, the Left seems to be its own worst enemy.

New Zealand names mountain after Everest conqueror Hillary
WELLINGTON (Reuters Life!) - New Zealand will name a part of its highest mountain after one of its most famous citizens, Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to scale Mount Everest, the government said Wednesday.
The South Ridge of Mt. Cook, which is also known by its Maori name Aoraki, will be renamed Hillary Ridge, Land Information Minister Maurice Williamson said.
"Sir Edmund made an enormous contribution to our country and abroad and it is befitting and appropriate that his contribution is acknowledged in this way," Williamson said in a statement.
Hillary was the first man to use the South Ridge route to scale the 3,754 meter (12,315 ft) Mt. Cook in 1948, five years before his successful ascent of the 8,848 meter (29,029 ft) Mt. Everest with Tenzing Norgay.
After Hillary's death in 2008 at the age of 88, the government launched a campaign to find an appropriate alpine landmark to be named in honor of one of its most revered citizens.

Patti Davis is about to release a book entitled "The Lives Our Mothers Leave Us." In the book, Lorna Luft spoke about how she was responsible for regulating the drug usage of her mother Judy Garland. Starting at about the age of 10 or 11, her mother made her responsible for regulating her pill usage. Judy liked to always be taking pills, but knew that she couldn't have every pill filled with drugs, so it was Lorna's job to empty out the capsules of some pills and fill them with sugar.
In the same way that most parents instill in their children the phrase to never talk to strangers, Lorna was constantly reminded that "I was taught to never, ever call an ambulance, no matter what happened. I was to call my father or someone else – never an ambulance because it would get into the press. I was taught at a young age to lie, to deceive, to manipulate."
Apparently this is the life her mother left her. Of course it hasn't stopped Lorna from also making a living off her mother's name or releasing that album of hers called "Songs My Mother Taught Me." I think one of them had the line, "you take the bad drugs out and shake it all about."
