In 1965, The Moody Blues scored a UK #1 with just their second single, "Go Now." They toured with The Beatles, did the Ed Sullivan Show, and then in 1966... broke up.
A month later, three original members - Mike Pinder (mellotron), Ray Thomas (flute) and Graeme Edge (drums) - re-formed the band with John Lodge on bass and Justin Hayward (replacing original member Denny Laine) on guitar. Lodge and Hayward became the primary songwriters and vocalists in the group, and in 1967, Decca Records asked them to record an album to demonstrate the new Deramic Stereo Sound technology. The result was Days of Future Passed, which mixed old rock & roll influences with American blues, psychedelic rock, and classical music. Featuring Justin's "Nights In White Satin," it remains a treasured album in the rock canon.
What Hayward has to say about the Moody Blues' career may surprise you. Most of their hits came in the '60s and '70s, but Justin's decade of choice is the '80s, when the group joined the MTV era with the hits "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" and "Your Wildest Dreams." And their signature song - "Nights in White Satin" - Justin tells us that a certain underappreciated soul singer recorded the definitive version.
Hayward is excited about his latest solo album, Spirits of the Western Sky, which focuses on various relationships in his life. As he spoke about this latest effort, in addition to some of the biggest hits he's recorded with the famous band he fronts, Hayward was bright and cheery, and neither moody, nor blue.

Dan MacIntosh (Songfacts): This is an interview for Songfacts.
Justin Hayward: I checked out the website. It's interesting.
Songfacts: Well, I hope this will be an interesting interview for you.
Justin: Yeah, me too.
Songfacts: Some of your songs you've been singing for quite a while; I'm sure you must do "Nights in White Satin" every night that you perform.
Justin: Yes.
Songfacts: Do the songs take on new meanings for you as you sing them? I mean, do you find new feelings and emotions when you sing those songs that are so familiar?
Justin: I never lose the emotion of songs like that. "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" is another one like that. And "Question" is another one. But not yet. I'm lucky enough not to have lost the emotion or the motivation, because it's a wonderful thing to be able to share. And the audience provides the emotion around that. Because you do it in sound check and it's fine, but when there's an audience there, it completely transforms the experience.
But with "Nights," something strange happened last year. Somebody sent me a link to a cover version of "Nights" by a woman called Bettye LaVette.
Bettye LaVette is a soul singer who grew up in Detroit, in the shadow of Motown Records. Although many of her peers were Motown artists, LaVette never got the chance to record for that important label. She was signed to Atlantic Records, where Aretha Franklin was also an artist, yet she didn't have the success Franklin achieved there. She tells her hard luck story in a wonderful autobiography titled A Woman Like Me.
Songfacts: Oh, yes.
Justin: She covered "Nights," and somebody sent it to me as an MP3, a link. I was sitting in bed with my laptop waking up to my emails, and I clicked on this link and I burst into tears. My wife came in and she said, "What the hell's the matter with you?" And I said, "You've got to listen to this." She didn't cry. But I heard the lyric for the first time. There have been hundreds, maybe thousands of covers of "Nights in White Satin," but that was the first time I heard it for real.
Songfacts: It's so interesting that you would say that, Justin, because I just finished her autobiography, and she doesn't pull any punches. She talks about doing cocaine with very famous people, and she talks about her life very frankly. But she also talks about doing an album where she covers a lot of songs by primarily British rock songwriters.
Justin: That's right. That was the album it was on. If you're in touch with her, please tell her what I said. Her interpretation is the best ever, and there have been hundreds.
Songfacts: I don't know her personally, but I know her publicist. And I will shoot off an e mail to her this afternoon and let her know.
Justin: Thank you.
Songfacts: Let's talk about some of the other songs. You mentioned "Question." Were there any events that inspired you to write a song like that where you were really questioning the whole state of the world and war and peace?
Justin: It was to do with the fact that we'd achieved great success in the United States and we were playing a lot of student venues and colleges, and the student audience was our audience. We were mixing with these people and seeing how different the problems were for them and the issues in being a member of the greatest nation on earth: the United States. How different they were from British people. I was just expressing my frustration around that, around the problems of anti-war and things that really concerned them, and for their own future that they may be conscripted, or whatever you call it... I can't remember what the word is in America.
Songfacts: Drafted?
Justin: Drafted. Yes. How that would morally be a dilemma for them and that kind of stuff. So it did really come out of that. And my own particular anger at what was happening. After a decade of peace and love, it still seemed we hadn't made a difference in 1970. I suppose that was the theme of the song. And then the slow part of the song is really a reflection of that and not feeling defeated, but almost a quiet reflection of it, and mixing with a bit of a love song, as well.
Songfacts: Now, I imagine you still do that song in concert these days. Do you think about other political situations when you're singing that?
Justin: There's no doubt that it still resonates, the lyrics reflect whichever generation you're in. Whatever time you're in, people are experiencing those emotions. And I find that people identify with it at any age.
Songfacts: Well, I want to skip ahead to some of your more recent hit songs. I was reading about "Your Wildest Dreams" and "I Know You're Out There Somewhere." Somebody had written that the Moody Blues had become almost like a synth pop band, and I realize that you're a guitarist. Was that uncomfortable for you when the band started going in that direction away from music that might have featured more of what you do best as a guitarist.
Justin: No. Because I was playing the synth most of the time. I discovered the DX7 when that came out and it changed my life. And I still use a DX7. Most of "Wildest Dreams" - 90% of it - is Tony Visconti, my DX7, and a guitar synth. The piece at the beginning of "Wildest Dreams" that sounds like a sort of Theremin, a (humming) "oooo ooo," that's a guitar synth. All of that is. So it was just another way of exploring musical avenues. Tony Visconti was very much into that and the first person who really turned the band on to programming in a serious way. And he was very, very good at it, so I enjoyed every moment of that.
And in truth, if I had to pick a decade of music, if I could only have one decade of music that I could listen to, it would be the '80s.
Songfacts: Interesting. So that was like a second birth in a way.
Justin: It was wonderful for us, those two records, to have a hit when you're 40 and to be recognized in the streets. Not that people know your name, they just say, "Oh, you're the guy in the Moody Blues video" or something, that was a wonderful thing.
Songfacts: The song "I Know you're Out There Somewhere," is that about somebody in particular?
Justin: Yes. It was about somebody in particular. And I found with "Wildest Dreams" that it was a common experience for a lot of people. I never thought this; I thought I was writing a frivolous sort of song. Certainly with "Wildest Dreams." Not with "I Know You're Out There Somewhere," because I knew by then. But I thought "Wildest Dreams" would be a throwaway thing that people wouldn't really take much notice of lyrically. But I found out that it was a common experience and desire by a lot of people. So that was very revealing.
And with "I Know You're Out There Somewhere," yes, they both were about at least one particular person. I wouldn't say it was all about one person, but at least one particular person. And my advice to anybody who wants to go back is that you can never go home. And best to leave the past as the past.
Songfacts: You have a new solo album out. When you do your solo music, do you go to a different place creatively than when you work with the Moody Blues?
Justin: Yes, I think so. Maybe not initially. Except that I recorded quite a few more songs. This is a romantic album about relationships and people that I know. Some people will probably recognize themselves in these songs. It's just acquaintances I have - as I get older, I have an awful habit of falling in love with lots of people, boys and girls around me. I don't mean physically rolling around, I just mean emotionally and forming attachments to people.
So I found that was what I enjoyed most about the collection of songs that I hadn't recorded. I have got some other ones that are more kind of social comment, but they're probably for another album. I realized that early on in the compiling of this album in the last two years. It's a very personal album, and some of the things on this album I probably could not have said in a Moody Blues song or I would have changed it so that it was a voice speaking for a group, not for an individual.
Songfacts: That's very interesting. I notice as I get older that I realize how important relationships are. It sounds like that's been reflected in how you write songs, you're writing about those people.
Justin: It is. Yes. You hit it on the head, I couldn't have said it any better. Relationships are more precious to me now than ever. And I'm more conscious of people wanting to give to me now their affection and their regard and their love, really. That's nice.
Songfacts: When you think about all the music that you've recorded with the Moody Blues, so many songs and so many albums, do you have favorite songs that you never get tired of performing?
Justin: Yes. Of course, "Nights," because it's a magic that you can throw over an audience and you can go anywhere in the world and it's rewarding. I recorded another song that was a hit in the UK called "Forever Autumn." You can go anywhere in the world and play that and people really like it. But there are a few other things that are very close to me. There's a song called "New Horizons," which was at a really tough time in my life. I'd not long lost my father. There was quite a lot of death around me, and I was having to cope with that and work out how you handle that and what you do and how you can get through it. It's very poignant to me.
And there's another song on a solo album called "Raised on Love" that not many people would know. But that's very dear to me, as well. But "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" is probably my favorite. That and a song called "Driftwood," which was also kind of bittersweet.
Songfacts: It sounds to me like when we were talking earlier about valuing relationships, it's almost as if you value your songs as if they are people, like you have relationships with them. Do you look at it that way sometimes?
Justin: That's a very interesting question. I'm thinking about that, Dan. Yes, I think I do. Yes. Actually, even before they're done, they're just unfinished characters that need to be filled out a bit and colored in. But yes, I do have a relationship with them, and each one is very different, each relationship is very different. Some I'm a little scared of, they're a bit spooky.
Songfacts: Justin, it's been such a treat to talk to you. And I hope this was not too taxing on you.
Justin: Absolutely not at all. It's a great pleasure. I did check your website, and it's very interesting. And of course lots of people contribute, lots of people are wrong, and lots of people are right. You must find that quite amusing. Because everybody's got something to say about songs that they love.
Songfacts: Well, one of the real treats for me is to be able to talk to the people that write the songs and get clarity. And you've helped me do that in a great way, and I appreciate your time so much.
Justin: Well, I'd say two things about songs. The early songs it would be Mike Pinder, the keyboard player and Mellotron player. I'll just say that. And then the '80s songs would be Tony Visconti. And then more recently I've taken that responsibility myself. So with my solo albums and this latest album, it's me who's playing the character around it.
Songfacts: Well, that's a clue. So I'm going to take that as I continue my investigation into your music. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful interview. This has been a true treat for me.
Justin: Oh, a great pleasure. My best wishes to you.

I LOVE THAT JUSTIN HAYWARD AND THE MOODY BLUES ARE TOURING AGAIN. I HAVE MY TICKETGeraldine from Mpls. Mn/
I love that Justin Hayward is still touring both solo and with the Moody Blues> Because they book different venues each year we get to see them in towns that are centrally located, easy to attend, with great parking, and affordable tickets. Last year my daughter my sister and I tickets to see Justin's solo concert in Aberdeen, WA. After being a fan since high school in the 60's, it was a great Mother's Day gift. My little granddaughter knows Justin Hayward and has been listening to his music since she was 4 months old. His music and all the Moodies songs are so timeless . They will be around for many generations to come. I love the interviews of Justin. He has so many great stories to tell. I listen to Justin's songs every day with my granddaughter. When a fast song comes on we stop, look at each other, and start dancing around the room. I love Justin and the Moodies for making my time on this planet filled with great music to share with my kids.Debbie Olson from Olympia,wa U.s.a.
Fine songwriter and guitarist. His songs have added a positive vibe to the world and that's the best thing us songwriters can hope to do.Frutz Souder from Maryland
The best interview from Justin Hayward ever. You were able to really bring him out in a very personal way. Thank you for this interview - listening to His Spirits of The Western Sky "Live" as I type this. Today is 9-13-14 by the way. I rarely look for articles and such of this nature but so glad I came across this one. Kudos! Keep up the good work. As a fan, I am so happy for Justin and I believe this is the best work of his entire career. He seems the happiest he has ever been in his life right now. How wonderful!Kathy Loyd from Shreveport, Louisiana
What a great interview! I am from a younger generation of fans of the "moody blues" but I am very intrigued with how Justin Hayward discussed the making of some of his songs. He is totally right that they can reflect what other people are going through. I especially enjoy the uniqueness of Justin Hayward's album's/cd's! Outstanding new cd "Spirit's of the western sky "! Just like fine wine ...............
Justin's music seems to get better with time. I mean that in a good way. I truley hope that "justin Hayward" will continue to expand his music career both on his own and maybe if possible with the MoodyBlues". Thankyou for your time.Brenda Bateman from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

What a great interview! Been a Moody's fan since I was so young! I saw them in concert back in '68 or so, and then again in 2009. None of us aged as well as we would have liked, maybe. None of us had the same amount of energy we would like to have had (Jump nearly killed us all!!) but it was still a hell of a show.
And 'Nights' still knocks me out...Penny G from Murfreesboro, Tn

Wonderful interview. Justin Hayward and the Moodies have been my favorite group since 1967 & we have all "grown up" since then. Their music has always brought joy and peace to me. We love Justin & the Moody Blues here in Portland. They were here last October, and Justin will be presenting his newest work here on June 10th. Sold Out again! Their music has a beautiful, spiritual reflection to it, and it continues to win all hearts. Why aren't they in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? They have given so much to the world over 40 years. They deserve more than almost anyone else. What a joy they are!Margie Stearns from Portland,oregon
In our family, Moody Blues aren't merely a music group, they're a three-generational institution. Have only been to 5 concerts in a lifetime, that included seeing Moody Blues twice. In fact, in 1994 flew from Buenos Aires to Miami to Dallas to San Diego to see them. Worth Every Penny and Hour of Flight: these men are brilliant! Forever Autumn is still one of my top 10 all time favs. Their Blue Jays album is still one of my all time favs albums ever. My daughter says one of her favorite childhood memories was when we danced barefoot on the grass in the rain at a Moody Blues concert. Great memory for me as well. Thank You - Too All of You Fellas - for so many years of wonderful music and so many great memories associated with it. Didn't know until reading this article that Mr. Hayward had a new album out. Am looking forward to hearing Spirits of the Western Sky.Stymied Observer from Usa
Yes, it was an interesting interview. Mr. Hayward is human afterall...I can hear his age in his comments...and, indeed, it was very nice of him to acknowledge Mike Pinder. I was an American soldier in Vietnam when I first heard the Moody Blues, saw them in concert in Baltimore 1972 and once again in Seattle 2013. Their music might be timeless and is simply wonderful.Wlo from Wa
Thoroughly enjoyed the interview, insightful and thoughtful. Have been a Moodies fan since 1967 and in partcular a fan of Justin. The words that he writes and chords/melodies that he plays resonate with me beyond description. Words cannot describe the affect he and his music have on me. I am so grateful for him and his music. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't listen to him whether it's the Moodies or his solo CDs. Forever grateful. You lift my soul...kKaren from New Milford, Nj
My hat off to an outstanding group of showmen who I have followed since their first performances, I always fall back to their wonderful work on lazy weekends; there is no substitute.Tony Lohrey from Sunshine Coast, Australia
Nice article. So many more questions I would have had. One of my favorite bands of all time. First time I saw them was with a 100 piece orchestra in Clarkston Mich in the early '90's. Did not know that was going to happen. To really experience the Moody Blues you MUST see them with full orchestration backing them up. OUTSTANDING!!!! How come these guys aren't in the "Music Hall of Fame"?...( I call it "music" because of the acts in there that I don't classify as rock and roll). Should have been in there 15-20 years ago.Ron Rogers from Indian River, Mi
I just purchased Justin's new solo album and love it. It has made me go back and listen to my back catalog of Moody Blues albums. One of my favorite songs by Justin, and not mentioned in the interview, is "I Bless the Wings".Bob from Southfield, Mi
One of my all time favorite song writers, one of my all time favorite bands!Jim Williams from South Florida
Terrific interview. Justin's collaboration with John Lodge on their album, 'Blue Jays'is another stellar record as well as Justins vocal on The War of The Worlds. His talent and class are exemplary.Brian from Toronto, Canada
Great interview. I can't even imagine how many times I've listened to "Nights in White Satin" over the past 40-some years, and I've never tired of it. It's simply a great song that worked for my 12-year-old self, and still holds something for me much later in life. LaVette's version is indeed awesome - I dropped ten bucks on Itunes for her album on the strength of Justin's comments. And, like Jim from Billerica, I too would be curious to know what he thought of the Dickies' cover (which always struck me as a glorious and affectionate send-up)Matyas from Miskolc
Justin - Why don't you personally contact Ms. Lavette and let her know your impression of her interpretation of "Nights"? Since her version spoke to you so deeply I'm sure she would appreciate hearing your praise first hand. I have been a fan of yours since your early days and have wondered what influences in your life do you feel have contributed the most to your wonderful catalog? You were certainly an advanced musician/songwriter at such a young age - do you feel this is a divine gift? Thank you so much for providing me so much enjoyment - pleasure - entertainment throughout the years. Peace & Love, GinaGina from Largo Fl
Justin is the most consistent and exceptional songwriter I have ever heard. My favorite band is the core 7 period Moody Blues (67-72). I actually prefer Justin's solo efforts to the more modern Moodies. Also it was nice that he gave credit to Mike. He seems to have been nearly forgotten as time moves on.Tim from Colorado
Really great article. Thanks. Seems like he is alright where he is today.Jb from Pa
Betty LaVette's version. She makes it her own.Hugh from Phoenix, Az

Oh and before I forget, Tony Visconti is a high profile producer. He's worked with everyone from David Bowie, Moody Blues (of course), to T. Rex. Mike Pinder is "Mr Mellotron" and probably the only guy who could that crazy thing to work in a live setting. A mellotron is a keyboard, with tape cartridges for each note that looped. You could get tapes for just about any sound, but the most popular were the orchestral strings. It was a nice idea in theory, but it was more temperamental then a bulimic runway supermodel. It needed constant adjusting (tuning) at the tapes always kept going out of tune, tapes wore out, broke. The were a great studio device but few could get them to work reliablt at a live show. Mike Pinder was one of the few.Jim from North Billerica, Ma
A great read and another fantastic interview. You guys know how to get alot of out some really heavy hitters. Kinda wished you asked them about the Dickies covering "Nights". Interesting fellow and had alot to say in a short article.Jim from North Billerica, Ma
What a nice fellow. Bit cryptic though - that reference to Pinder M and Visconti T is baffling. And he held back, quite rightly possibly, on "Somewhere". Still, interesting to see someone like Justin dispense kudos so equably.Piston Broke from Slightly North Of Nowhere
Dan, another great interview. Congrats. The Betty LaVette reference is great -- what a classy guy Justin is to honor another artist that way, especially for his best-known song.Cw from Casee more comments

69 Chevelle rocker panel removal
Hello all, I looked in the archives...IMPRESSIVE...and massive, but I haven't seen this ...I am replacing outer and inner rockers, yet my quarters are worth keeping, how do I get the old panels out from under the quarters? And, they seem to run a good 6 inches into the front body post tunnel, there are spot welds on the post skirt, still won't come out. I want to remove whole section, but not sure if it is possible without tearing up quarter or frt post? Thanks
Replacing rockers is a very tough and extremely time consuming job not to mention is a major structural point to the car. So this means it is going to tie into a lot of the front A pillar bracing and rear quarter as well even going to be spot welded in places you have not been able to see yet until you start cutting into it. The first thing you should do is weld a brace on the inner door jamb to make sure nothing moves once you start cutting out the rocker. The way I do it to make it easier to get at all the spot welds is cut most of the rocker out of the way as to expose the spot welds. On the quarter I would cut about 1/4 inch bellow the seam at the rocker then you will be able to grind out the spot welds with the rocker out of the way, much easier. I try to use what works best in the situation you have, will use an air chisel (being cautious not to destroy the "good" sheetmetal) or a hammer and filed down screwdriver to get into tight areas. At any rate is not a fun job to do and usually ties into a lot of tight spots in the front lower A pillar. Hope this helps for what its worth............
|The Following User Says Thank You to mr4speed For This Useful Post:
Wrencher (12-30-2012)
Thanks 4spd, Yea, I need a brace setup. So, cut the box open and grind the welds from inside out, good deal. That will work under the quarter, but I guess the air chisel on the pillar inerds? Yes, it started out with a small rust hole and you know the rest lol. I'm thinking of making the inner's myself, but 59 bucks ain;t too bad. Thanks for the help!
Another tip I forgot too mention, when removing the spotwelds I take small worn down cut off wheels and grind directly at the spotwelds almost to the point of grinding off the old rusted sheetmetal, but not exposing the underlying steel. I find this weakens the spotweld much better and almost "pops" right off with little pressure as to not destroy or mangel the steel you want to weld to. I find that using the spot weld cutters (mini hole saw) that 9 out of 10 times you don't always catch the whole weld making it very hard to break apart, then really making a mess out of the underlying steel.
That lower A piller is the hardest part to seperate, have not done any chevelles but am sure they are not easy. Yeah an air chisel, and grind as many spot welds as you can get at, being careful with that air chisel they can get away from you pretty quiklly leaving a lot of mangled steel.
Another question, I have the frt up on stands, should I let it down to lessen the flex ? Or does it even matter?
Weld the brace in with the car on the ground on the wheels, then it will be locked in to where it should be. Then you can jack it back up.
Will do, tomorrow a.m. Any tip on tacking those hidden areas back in?
None other than just do the best you can with what you can get into or get at. Don't be afraid to weld it up as strong as you can............good luck!!!
Thanks, I'll be back lol.
If you have an air chisel you can even cut it open with one if you have a cutting bit. If you're replacing it due to rust you can probably chisel it off really quickly due to rust breaking down the weld. I usually will try that first to see how it reacts cause sometimes it will almost just fall right off, and other times it will be obvious that the weld is on there too good. Even in the worst case scenario, if you have a good bit and are using it right at worst you will only a few areas where the weld broke off onto your back metal and you just have to grind it off. This means beveled edge of the bit on the metal you are trying to save and angling it a little and paying attention to what's happening. If the metal starts bunching up you can always stop, hammer that area down flat, grind it with a cutt off wheel, and go back to the hammer. An air hammer is a real time saver.
The jack stands need to be under the rear axel and under the a frames so all the weight is on the suspension just like it would normaly be.
to find the spot welds a little easier I use a roloc gasket cleaner it shows the outline of the weld nicely You dont need a spot weld drill for this ,all you need is a couple sharp drills and a clicker punch..after cleannig the metal and finding the welds you eyeball the center of the weld and using the punch make a dimple to keep the drill bit from wandering...starting with a 1/8" bit drill all the way through all of the welds Then go to a bit thats slightly larger than the weld (usually 3/8") and drill all the welds out ...Now to make things much easier you need an air chisel and a couple chisels ,first is the panel ripper with three prongs ,this you use before you start drilling to remove all of the rocker thats exposed,with that out of the way you can drill out the welds ez... once the welds are drilled you need a weld cutter chisel basicly its a regular chisel but insted of the sharpe end being flat its V shaped you use this to seperate the layers of metal.You can substitute the air chisel for a hammer and hand chisel but the chisel cant have a beveled edge on both sides only one bevel ,you may have to grind it flat and bevel it yourself...
On that car the welds at the bottom of the 1/4 are inside the 1/4 so you need to take off the interior panel to get in there which all the interior should be out any way, seat too... or after removing most of the rocker ,you can drill out the welds from the bottom...You should never try to just chisel out a weld without first drilling it ,it'll just tear everything up,take longer and just look messy. When its all out nistalling the new one should be pretty ez but there are a few tricks so get back to us...
Thanks for all the tips guys, heading out now. All the welds are clearly visible except the pillar aprons, someone must have ground this area before, i've roloced them and no weld visible....oh well, I will report back. PS, I have plenty of body experience and mechanic for 32yrs, done some rocker sections, but not full chevelle ones......yet. Time to freshen her up! Thx

I'm tryin to help ya out here tec....I used to use the weld cutters that DID NOT leave a round piece to grind off, they are more like a drill than a hole cutter...Those blair style hole cutters are absolutely useless because you HAVE to grind that plug off,If your going to do it why not do it all in one step and not have any grinding to do (think of all the time you'll save) were not talkin one weld are we? when I replace a panel theres usually hundreds of welds to drill and then theres the "chunk" the section I'm getting the new used panel from, all those welds have to be cut also..
Unfortunately the best weld cutters cost over 50.00 (20yrs ago) I've wore out a good bit of them.and spent a ton of cash getting them....
OK so when you want to cut a weld you only want to cut one layer of metal right (like on the pinch weld where the weather strip fits over) theres two options here, using the low angle 5.00 drill bit I use I can drill just the rocker skin and leave a nice clean spot to weld but I'll have to punch a hole in the rocker for the plug weld OR I can drill all the way through and NOT punch a hole in the new rocker but weld it from the inside of the car and leave a pretty looking burn spot on the outside that needs a simple scuffing to prep for paint..... insted of a weld that also needs grinding....
Just by chance I have a camaro in the shop that needs a rocker removed and replaced I think I'll make a video to show you guys a bunch of tricks to get a better,faster job ,start to finish.... I'm replacing the whole rocker ,end to end on a 85 camaro not a whole lot different for your firebird...

Posted by Nigel Fenwick on December 30, 2010
Looking back on 2010, I put together a list of my top 10 favorite things that made a difference in my year and was surprised to see how heavily travel featured in my list:
Pandora One: I love listening to music while working, so my iPod is always close by. But this year I discovered Pandora – a music streaming service that finds and plays songs based around any favorite song you use to seed it. You can create multiple "stations" around different songs, composers, bands and even combine multiple seed songs on one station. I have created music stations for every genre of music to suit my mood. For example, while writing research I listen to one of six classical stations and while chilling with a glass of my favorite wine I listen to a station I called… "glass of wine radio"! Pandora offers a free version supported by ads and a premium version, Pandora One, which offers unlimited high-fidelity ad-free streaming for $36 a year. This year I moved to Pandora One because I wanted the higher-quality music feed and I love finding new music through Pandora. I regularly listen to Pandora on my PC, through the desktop app, and on my BlackBerry, which I connect to my home audio system to play music back through my hi-fi. http://www.pandora.com
Netflix Watch Instantly: I don't watch a lot of TV, but my wife and I are real movie buffs so having easy access to movies through streaming is a big deal for us. We love the variety available through Netflix and their watch instantly service. As well as watching movies, we also find ourselves watching TV series through the service. http://netflix.com

Hello and Welcome to my website!
I'm an amateur photographer with a life long passion for the art of photography. While just about anything is fair game, I enjoy landscape photography the most. Some of my best times and photo opportunities happen when I'm able to take my wife and 3 little dogs in the motorhome and head out for the Eastern Sierra.
As far as gear is concerned, yes, I do have some. It's taken awhile, but I've finally moved away from DSLR's and have gone completely mirrorless, specifically Micro Four Thirds (M43). In addition to my Panasonic GX8 I have an Olympus E-M5. And, although it's not a M43 camera I also use a Panasonic FZ1000, probably the most versatile camera I have ever owned.
While I do believe that photography is about the photographers vision rather than expensive gear, having nice stuff does help!
If I have any advice to give it would be this – It's All About the Light! So, get your ass out of bed and catch those golden rays!
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit!
** Photo credit, my loving and patient wife Aggie!

Needless to say, it was a 7" lilliput w/ touch screen. I was so close to adding the final touch to my car, but like always, something bad happens. Not only do I get the white screen, but the colar that holds down the ribbon on the lcd side broke off. If anyone knows any cool fixes other than changing ribbon or lcd, let me know.

Delwin Vriend had a job at King's University College in Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada as a lab instructor. This college is run by the Christian Reformed Church, a
conservative Christian denomination. It is a liberal arts school with about 500 students.
In 1991, he was fired, apparently because he is gay. He appealed to the Alberta Human
Rights Commission, an arm of the Provincial government. But they refused to
investigate his complaint, because discrimination on the basis of a person's sexual
orientation is not within the scope of the Alberta Individual Rights Protection Act
(IRPA). So, Vriend sued the Alberta Human Rights Commission in a lower
court, where Madame Justice Anne Russell ruled in his favor. During this time, in 1994,
Jack O'neill was asked to review the state of civil rights in the province. He found both
angry opposition and spirited support for equal rights for gays. He recommended that the
Act be extended to protect people on the basis of their sexual orientation. The government
declined to follow up on his recommendation,
The Government appealed the case to the Alberta Court of Appeal . Respondents
Intervenors were:
The Court of Appeal, the highest court in the province, ruled against him on
1996-JUL-15. (5) The vote was 2:1. The majority decision stated that the omission of
sexual orientation from the Individual Rights Protection Act was not a
violation of section 15 of the Federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms, because the
constitutionality of a civil rights act is not dependent on a perfect emulation of the
Charter. Judge John Wesley McClung wrote that only the provincial legislature could change
the legislation; he denied that sexual orientation could be "read into"
the IRPA by the courts. He warned against "ideologically driven"
decisions by courts; this was presumably a warning to the Supreme Court of Canada
to not attempt to overrule the decision of the Alberta government. The Supreme Court has
taken an activist stance in the past on these matters. The sole dissenting appeals court
judge stated that the Alberta Legislature's omission of sexual orientation is tantamount
to approving ongoing discrimination against homosexuals. Further, it is in violation of
section 15 of the Charter.
He has since appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada.
On 1996-OCT-30, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the appeal. (4) John Fisher, the
Executive Director of Equality for Gays and Lesbians Everywhere (EGALE )
commented: "By agreeing to hear the case, the Supreme Court has recognized the
importance of this issue. It is up to the Court to intervene, since the Legislature of
Alberta has refused to accord equality to lesbian and gay Albertans... Alberta risks being
seen as the dinosaur of the country and an embarrassment to Canadians unless its
Legislature acts to treat all its citizens equally...It is a sorry day for the Province
when the Government of Alberta is so committed to discrimination that it has to be dragged
before the highest court in the land rather than extend equality."
Hal Joffe, Chairperson of the Canadian Jewish Congress' National Community
Relations Committee stated that: "CJCs interest is in ensuring that
citizens who believe that they have been discriminated against because of their sexual
orientation should not be denied the right to have the matter heard and adjudicated by the
relevant Human Rights Commission...Our submissions have stressed this fundamental aspect
of human rights, consistent with the federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the
Canadian Human Rights Act, rather than the ultimate disposition of any such complaint or
the substantive aspects of Mr. Vriends grievance." (6)
There were a total of 14 intervenors in the Supreme Court case. One was the Evangelical
Fellowship of Canada. According to the EFC web site, their lawyer "argued that
the court must respect the elected legislature's decision not to include 'sexual
orientation' in provincial human rights legislation. EFC also argued that there could be
serious ramifications to the right of a religious organization to require their employees
to adhere to moral standards based on the organization's religious beliefs." (8)
Most experts predicted that the Supreme Court would overrule the decision of the
Alberta Court of Appeals. Three mechanisms were suggested:
In advance of the decision, Pastor Olson, chairperson of the Edmonton AL evangelical
ministerial association said that if a Supreme Court of Canada ruling forces Alberta to
recognize gays under its Individual's Rights Protection Act, it will give the moral stamp
of approval to that sexual behavior. "We believe that lying, adultery,
fornication, drunkenness are harmful and so is homosexuality..."
The ruling came on 1998-APR-2. The Supreme Court determined that the Alberta Individual
Rights Protection Act violates the federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms. They
"read into" the existing law a clause giving equal rights for persons
of all sexual orientations. The vote was 7 to 1. Mr. Justice Jack Major expressed the
minority position. Although he agreed that the exclusion of sexual orientation violated
the Charter, he felt that the province should be allowed to repair the act on its own.
Mr. Justice Peter Cory wrote the majority decision, including:
"The exclusion [of gays and lesbians] sends a message to all Albertans that it
is permissible and perhaps even acceptable, to discriminate against individuals on the
basis of their sexual orientation...Perhaps most important is the psychological harm which
may ensure from this state of affairs. Fear of discrimination will logically lead to
concealment of true identity, and this must be harmful to personal confidence and
"The exclusion [of gays and lesbians] sends a message to all Albertans that it
is permissible and perhaps even acceptable, to discriminate against individuals on the
basis of their sexual orientation...Perhaps most important is the psychological harm which
may ensure from this state of affairs. Fear of discrimination will logically lead to
concealment of true identity, and this must be harmful to personal confidence and
Alberta, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island had been the holdouts in this area of
civil rights. In 1997-DEC, Newfoundland added sexual orientation as a protected category
under its Human Rights Code. (1) With this decision of the Supreme Court in the Vriend
case, Prince Edward Island remains the only Canadian provinces without civil rights
protection for persons of all sexual orientations. Their government has been promising the
move, but a bill has yet to be introduced in its legislature.

There exists in the Canadian Constitution a "not withstanding"
clause. Clause 33 allows the Federal or Provincial governments to opt-out of any portion
of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which deals with:
At the time that the Charter was introduced in the early 1980's many opposed this
provision. Former Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau called it a tainted compromise. Former
Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said that it reduced the worth of the Charter to that of a
piece of scrap paper.
Theoretically, a government in Canada could define, say Wiccans,
as devoid of freedoms of religion and association, and could imprison them at will. And
there is not a great deal that could be done to protect them. So too, the Government of
Alberta could pass legislation that states that: not withstanding Section 15 of the Canadian
Charter of Rights and Freedoms, gays, lesbians and bisexuals will have no fundamental
rights in Alberta. They would have to declare that the legislation is in direct conflict
with the charter; they would have to renew the legislation every five years. The Quebec
government has used the "not withstanding" clause to declare illegal those
advertising signs that did not meet certain size and language standards. The Alberta
government tried to introduce "not withstanding" legislation recently that would
have limited the rights of victims of past Alberta sterilization laws to sue for damages.
But the public and media expressed so much contempt that the bill was withdrawn.
John Fisher of EGALE commented on the possible action of the Alberta government to
invoke the "not withstanding" clause. He said that it is a question of how low
the government will stoop - to what length the government will go - to abuse the rights of
gays and lesbians.
The Premier of Alberta, Ralph Kline, announced to the media on APR-3 that his
government would not seek to pass a "not withstanding" bill. He confirmed this
later in the legislature. Phone calls to government offices were very heavy. Some callers
were outraged that gays and lesbians are now given equal protection under the law; some
were pleased with the extension of equal rights to homosexuals; some were angry at the
activism of the Supreme Court.
The media has consistently ignored a number of significant aspects in the Vriend case:
All of the articles and programs on the Vriend case that we have seen, describe the
anger of many Albertans over what they believe is an intrusive, activist stance by the
Supreme Court. They feel that the unelected Justices of the court have hijacked some
of the responsibilities of the elected members in the legislature. But it can be argued
that this is an invalid conclusion. The Supreme Court was faced with two laws:
The court obviously had to resolve this difficulty. Since the Charter is the superior
law, the provincial legislation had to be changed. It could have been declared
unconstitutional. But then all Albertans would be without human rights protection. The
court could have let the law stand for a few months, and order the legislature to rewrite
the law. Or they could "read in" gay and lesbian protection into the present
law. It can be argued that the "reading in" process would be less intrusive.
What the court could not do is to refuse to act and let the previous law stand.
A campaign has been started by a "number of conservative groups, including
many affiliated with the religious right have mounted a campaign to" persuade
Premier Ralph Klein to invoke the "not withstanding" clause. This would
override the recent Supreme Court action and remove human rights protections for gays and
lesbians. (8) Some groups from the religious right are conducting a campaign against equal
rights for gays and lesbians via radio, television and newspapers. Roy Beyer, president of
the Canada Family Action Coalition said: "Basically, we need to appeal
to people because we feel our message is not getting out." Their full page ads
in two newspapers urge the Alberta government to use the "Not Withstanding"
clause Otherwise, they feel, religious freedom will be abridged and the family will be
undermined. A broadcast campaign with a similar message has been launched by a Calgary
group called by the unusual name of "Alberta Civil Society Association."
The religious right believes that by being forced to treat homosexuals equally in areas of
service delivery, employment and accommodation, that their religious freedoms are being
abridged. For example, a landlord who is a conservative Christian might believe that God
hates homosexuality. Thus the landlord would be inclined to refuse accommodation to a gay
or lesbian. He/she might feel that when the law compels them to extend equal treatment to
homosexuals, that they would be forced to violate their own religious standards.
Michael Phair, a city councilor from Edmonton, Alberta commented on slurs and threats
of violence that he and other homosexuals have received recently. "I've been told
that I should be shot, and other days and lesbians should be shot, that I should have
never been born and that there's no place in this province for people like me."
One caller suggested that Phair be dismembered. Police have stepped up patrols in his
neighborhood. Pamphlets have been placed on his car windshield which compare gay sex with
animal behavior. Others quote Biblical passages.
Murray Billett, a member of the Gay and Lesbian Awareness Society of Edmonton,
has also received angry phone calls and letters. "He did not elaborate, saying he
fears for the safety of his family."
The caucus of the ruling Conservative Party meets on 1998-APR-9 to discuss the matter.
Premier Klein has said: "We'll see what happens if caucus votes - and I'm sure
that they will - to accept the ruling [of the Supreme Court] because it is the law as it
stands today....Right or wrong, I've drawn my line in the sand. I've said personally I
feel good about it. I feel comfortable, that I will accept the ruling. I think it's wrong,
morally wrong, to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation." The Premier
said that he was sickened by some of the messages sent to his office: "A lot of
letters are form letters. We have others writing letters that quite frankly make your
stomach churn because they're reading into this a lot more than what is there."
16 law professors at the University of Alberta sent the Premier a letter
saying (in part): "...the Supreme Court has held that the Charter entitles
persons to have their complaint of discrimination based on sexual orientation investigated
by the Alberta Human Rights Commission. 'Vriend' is about the right of access to justice."
OCRT Note: Gays and lesbians have, at least temporarily, been given
civil rights protection in Alberta. Any change in legislation will now have the effect of
targeting a specific group in society and intentionally removing their existing rights. We
suspect that this will be a very difficult task to accomplish.
North American society seems driven by a secular ethical system which started by
defining racism as reprehensible, then declared sexism as intolerable, and is now drifting
towards the position that homophobia is also unacceptable. If conservative religious
groups continue to deny women, gays and lesbians equal treatment, they run the risk of
being branded as bigots by people generally . Conservative Christian individuals and
groups will find that their prime mandate, the Great Commission to convert the world to a
saving knowledge of Jesus, will be increasingly impeded. The conservative wing of
Christianity (perhaps all of Christianity) will be treated as pariahs by a growing
percentage of society.

Nintendo's 3DS would have excited a lot more people on launch last month compared to Sony's PSP2 (aka NGP) for one simple reason. Getting our hands on one is only weeks away compared to the 11 months we will have to wait to get our hands on the Sony's latest handheld console.
The one thing we have been patiently waiting to find out is which of the numerous titles mentioned and displayed at the launch on January 19 would be available come 25 March when the 3DS finally hits the shelves. Well today Nintendo has announced that 13 3D titles will be available to purchase at launch including some stellar titles such as Super Street Fighter IV 3D, Splinter Cell 3D and most exciting of all Nintendogs.
Nintendo is obviously putting all of its eggs in the 3D basket with most launch titles bearing the third dimension moniker and the others, such as Pilot Wings Resort, sure to take advantage of the first-of-its-kind technology on a handheld device. As well as the 3D technology, games like Nintendogs will take advantage of facial recognition software with the front-facing camera, while the rear camera will allow for augmented reality play with your virtual dogs. The rest of the launch line up includes: The Sims 3, Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D, Lego Star Wars III, Ridge Racer 3D, Super Monkey Ball 3D, Samurai Warriors, Asphalt 3D, Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, Splinter Cell 3D and Rayman 3D.
As if these 13 titles were not enough Nintendo has promised a slew of other titles in the weeks following the launch including Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, Crush 3D, Thor: God of Thunder and James Noir's Hollywood Crimes. All in all there seems to be something for everyone in the titles coming to the 3DS in the first couple of weeks and we look forward to trying them out ourselves.

Left low beam malfunction h7 install
Apparently H7 bulb i have to get, any good recommendations and any help how to install it greatly appreciated
I can give you a deal here.
I didn't realize that E60s had H7 bulbs.
What kind are they, my understanding is they are halogen in my car not xenon
The ones I'm selling are halogen. The one thing you have to remember in handling them is not to touch the bulb with your hands because if the oil on them transfers to the bulb surface, it leads to premature bulb failure.
Replaced Philips H7 ultra from amazon for 27 dollars (pair). Working great I am happy now

1970 GT - We've been working on the brakes for a while....replaced the calipers, turned the rotors, replaced the brake lines....while doing this we left the right rear brake drum off (probably the wrong thing to do); After we finished bleeding all the lines, we attempted to put the brake drum back on and it no longer fits. We can't get the drum over the shoes. We thing we have the eccentrics all the way in. We've taken off all the slacke on the parking brake cable but it still won't fit. We tried the left drum on the right side, but that won't go on either.
1) Anyone else ever experience this problem?
2) Any suggestions?
3) Is there anyway to confirm that the eccentrics are all the way in other than just "eyeballing" it.
Thanks in advance

The NSW Jewish Board of Deputies is justifiably upset at a textbook being used in Australian schools which depicts Jews of today as though they were living three thousand years ago. The book refers to the Passover festival as involving "slaughtering lambs, smearing the lintel on the front door with blood and eating unleavened breads for several days." I have a hunch few Jews in Manhattan or the suburbs of New York, Miami, Chicago or points west smear blood on their doors for the Passover holiday, but then again, I could be incorrect since the book is published by the Cambridge University Press. How could I argue against a university press which claims polygamy is commonly practised among Jews in Israel. Since Cambridge must be accurate I am heading to Israel to pick up a few wives.
To top off this silly story, the Cambridge U Press said it would "review" the board's concerns. I would think it might review the ignorant idiot who wrote such nonsense! I am so glad to know from the Cambridge Press that "much modern conflict in the world is related to the reactions of other groups to the Jewish people." Tell that to the people of Darfur, the Congo, China, Burma, etc.. most of whom never heard of Jews.

The files were printed before that year's Democratic primary in Michigan which he won so stunningly, the high- water mark of Mr Jackson's party political career. Since then the fortunes of America's most celebrated living civil rights leader have steadily waned - until, perhaps, now.
Last week, Mr Jackson and his Rainbow Coalition convened a conference here to tackle the problems of urban crime and its most single depressing aspect, the growing scourge of violence that blacks commit against each other. Many of the most important black figures in the US attended, from politicians and cabinet officials to entertainers such as Bill Cosby. It would be an exaggeration to say they resolved anything. But Jesse Jackson has a new mission.
His career is a story of failures, of a flight from responsibility thinly masked by headline-stealing stunts such as a hostage release in the Middle East, or a visit to Fidel Castro. Twice Mr Jackson sought the presidency and lost. Four years ago, he declined to run for mayor of Washington DC, even though the high-profile job was his for the asking. 'I'm a tree shaker, not a jelly maker' he once remarked, explaining his aversion to the chores of elected office.
During the 1992 campaign, in which he did not run, Mr Jackson was sidelined and spurned by Bill Clinton the candidate, as he nudged the Democratic party towards the white mainstream. Under Bill Clinton the President, matters did not improve. Mr Jackson failed to become head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People civil rights organisation and no prominent government job was offered. What Mr Jackson once called his 'endless campaign' continued, its vehicle the Rainbow Coalition. But before last week, most people had stopped listening.
They shouldn't have. For all Mr Jackson's faults, he is still the nearest thing to a leader black America possesses. The Clinton cabinet may contain four blacks; there are people such as Kweise Mfume, leader of the black Congressional Caucus and whose story, from the mean streets of Baltimore to power and esteem on Capitol Hill, is as inspiring as anything Mr Jackson can offer.
Many blacks resent Mr Jackson. Among ordinary voters, he is apt to alienate as many as he attracts. But few can match his credentials, his oratory, his physical presence. And in the painful matter of acknowledging the crisis of black-on-black violence, no other black leader has so much as raised his hand.
Violent crimes in the US are mostly committed between people of the same race. Though blacks are barely one- tenth of the population, they account for half of all murder victims. Between 1980 and 1992 violent crimes (excluding murder), rose four times as fast against blacks as against whites. Proportionately, twice as many blacks as whites consider crime and violence the most important problem facing the country. Count Mr Jackson, who lives on a Washington block that saw five murders in 1993, among them. 'There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life,' he said recently, 'than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then to look around and see someone white and feel relieved.'
Such words have not endeared him to everyone. Mr Jackson was accused of playing to racial stereotypes and feeding white prejudice. Nor was his statement greatly appreciated that ascribed the violence of the inner cities to 'spiritual surrender, ethical collapse, and degenerative self-hatred'. But they cannot be faulted for courage and honesty. He may sound on occasion like a Republican suburbanite, but the last thing Mr Jackson wants is to make the problems of black America worse.
There was, he warned at the weekend, 'no quick fix' - certainly not the mixture of more police and prisons, stiffer sentences, and reduced rights of appeal for convicted murderers contained in the Senate crime bill that the President supports. Such ideas tackled symptoms rather than causes: the lack of jobs, the breakdown of the family, a culture that has lost hope and values.
And so back to that yellowing brochure of 1988 and its proclamation of 'Bold Leadership, New Direction'. It applies perfectly to 1994. Of Jackson the crusader, there is no doubt. The Rainbow Coalition will hold further anti-crime summits before a youth march to the White House on 4 April, the 26th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King. 'We shall turn Dr King's crucifixion date into a resurrection.' If Jesse Jackson has the patience to see this venture through, he will seal his own resurrection in public life.Reuse content

How to Promote Your Business with Traffic Exchanges, and how to get an unfair advantage using this method
NOTE: Please read the entire message all the way through before taking any of the steps, each link is posted again at the end, or you can read through it a second time to follow the steps.
Actually, this method is good for every business you try to promote on the net. It's not entire dedicated for my business Team Atlantis.
I show you how to get the most out of traffic exchanges.
You should already have a basic idea of traffic exchanges and how they work. This page will show you how you can make the most of them. There are a few resources you should sign up
for before you begin this process.
The first resource is Traffic Hoopla (http://www.traffichoopla.com). I recommend this resource because it ranks the effectiveness of various traffic exchanges, and will also help you build referrals in them.
As you sign up for new traffic exchanges you should enter your affiliate IDs on thts site because it will help you generate referrals there.
We are going to use traffic hoopla because of the way it is set up.
The very first thing you want to do is set up a new email account, some traffic exchanges send out solo ads and can tend to clutter your email box, so it is a good idea to create an email address just for this,
some people recommend Gmail, but you should use whatever you are comfortable with.
After you have created your new email account, create a new folder where you can store your log in information for these traffic exchanges, after you join one you will be sent your username and password so save this in that folder so you can easily find it later amongst the other emails you will be getting. I also use Excel for all of my URL's.
Now go to traffic hoopla, log in, and click where it says '1st Join' and sign up for those 5 traffic exchanges using your new email address.
Now after you have them all set up and activated, surf about 50-100 pages to get some initial credits going and to make sure your account is fully active.
After your account is totally active, go and sign up for a rotator. One I would recommend is TE Toolbox (http://www.tetoolbox.com). TE Toolbox has an unbeatable tracking system and this will become very important when you start learning about how to create effective capture pages because you can measure your results. Another reason, and a much more practical one, to be using a rotator is that as you become a member of more and more traffic exchanges, it becomes more and more of a struggle to have to update your websites on every single one, so using a rotator can make this a lot easier because you can just enter your rotator url, and updating the rotator will cause all your TEs to go to the new list of sites.
Another reason to join TE Toolbox is the very much important choice to measure your hits. That's see if the TE is sending your real hits or just some cheaters hits. Sort those TE out. Compare it to Traffic
Hoopla to be sure you don't waste your time.
After you have set up and activated your TE Toolbox account, create a rotator, inside that rotator put the 5 splash pages from the 5 traffic exchanges you signed up for inside of it. Now add the rotator to each of the traffic exchanges. Now you will have your rotator of splash pages showing at each of the 5 Traffic Exchanges you are a part of.
It's important not to sign up for too many traffic exchanges at once because it will make you stretch too thin and you won't be able to get good value out of any of them. The first 5 from traffic hoopla are a great place to start.
Now make a routine of visiting one of those 5 a day. Monday go to #1, Tuesday to #2, so on and so forth, you can spend the weekend doing any you like, or take it off and relax. The more time you invest in each traffic exchange the more results you will see.
Eventually you will start to build referrals in these traffic exchanges. When you get referrals you start to get a portion of credits per site they view, and after you have a good amount of referrals, you will start to notice that you will have to surf less and less on those traffic exchanges. When you get to a point to where you can go a few weeks without having to surf on a certain traffic exchange and still be earning credits, then it is a good time to back to traffic hoopla, and sign up for the next one on the list, before you know it you will start getting all kinds of traffic without having to spend your entire life surfing, and you will also start to earn commissions as people in these traffic exchanges upgrade their accounts.
As you start to have more and more traffic exchanges it will be a good idea to sign up for TE Command Post (http://tecommandpost.com/). TE Command post will help you manage a large number of traffic exchanges because it will track your credits in each one for you. You can log in to TE Command post and see which traffic exchange you have low credits on and need to surf that day, or maybe that has a lot of unassigned credits you need to go in and assign. This will save you a lot of time from having to log in to each traffic exchange individually to check that data.
Well now you know how to start building your traffic exchange empire, this is something you will want to put in to practice your entire affiliate marketing career because the more traffic and referrals you can generate the more potential leads and opt ins you will receive down the road.
At last I will show you a program which will almost give you an unfair advantage against your fellow surfers. It's nothing about cheating, but a very clever program that helps you surf traffic exchanges
fast, safe and relaxing building up a huge pile of credits. It's the Traffic Exchange Browser (http://tebrowser.com/index.html?r=7957). You can join for free, but for a monthly low fee you will get much
more out of this little clever browser. Try it! You won't regret it.

|European Commission > ... > Why Energy Research? > Key Objectives
|Contact | Search
Moving towards sustainable development would not be possible without substantial research, technological development and demonstration (RTD) in the energy field.
Promoting sustainable development
Changing energy production and use
The equation is simple. To meet the needs and expectations of developed and developing countries alike, the world's energy supply will probably have to at least double over the next 50 years. The long-term strategy for our energy supply is to develop new large- and small-scale resources capable of meeting these needs in a sustainable manner, without damaging the local or global environment.
Examples of how energy research can contribute to sustainable development:
Fuel cells - current research is demonstrating that fuel cells, using hydrogen not hydrocarbons as a fuel source, have the potential to replace a large part of the current combustion systems in all energy end-use sectors.
Energy-efficient buildings - continued RTD effort is helping to achieve significant reductions in energy-use in buildings, which account for some 40% of the EU's total energy requirements.
Nuclear fission - continuing studies on:
All will help to promote this zero-CO2 emission means of energy production
Nuclear fusion - the joint construction of a prototype reactor is the next stage in a long-term research effort to develop a potentially unlimited world energy source.
Ensuring security and diversity of energy supply
Making use of the knowledge and technologies developed by energy research programmes will enable the EU, alongside other developed countries, to implement a strategy for sustainable long-term energy supplies.
This approach will ensure the uninterrupted availability of energy products on the market at an affordable price for all consumers. The benefits of such activities will be manifold:
Europe depends on energy imports
If no measures are taken, in the next 20 to 30 years 70% of the EU's energy requirements will have to be covered by imported products, according to the Commission's Green Paper on the security of energy supply.
Examples of how energy research contributes to security and diversity of energy supply:
Energy technologies that reduces Europe's dependence on energy imports are:
Energy research is driving the development of such technologies, thus ensuring that we can take better charge of our own energy future. Reducing energy dependence also calls for actions to control and reduce energy demand - again, energy research is providing the innovation to make this possible.
Improving industrial competitiveness
Energy research helps to reduce energy costs and to generate technical innovations. Both enhance Europe's industrial competitiveness.
Industry and energy go hand in hand - the one cannot function without the other. Although often regarded as a fixed overhead in the past, it is now clear that controlling energy costs should be an essential element in any enterprise's drive for increased competitiveness.
Energy research helps in two main ways by:
Innovation is a key R&D objective
Enhancing industrial competitiveness is therefore also about technological innovation. This means the generation of new:
R&D can thus help businesses survive in the highly competitive environment of today's global market place, where no enterprise can afford to stand still. This is as true for the energy sector as for all other industries.
Examples of how energy research contributes to industrial competitiveness:
Europe is at the leading edge in renewable energies. Export competitiveness is a major driver for Europe's renewable energy technology development - for example, Denmark accounts for almost three-quarters of all international wind turbine exports.
The co-ordinated Europe-wide fusion research programme has helped the EU to become a leading player in this field. Nuclear fission technology is also one of Europe's major exports. Continued research into 'breakthrough' technologies will ensure that this cutting edge is maintained.
Enhancing economic and social cohesion
Energy research can contribute to overcoming many economic and social problems. Advances in technology made possible through R&D are expanding sectors in the energy industry and creating jobs. And providing an energy supply to support remote communities
In combination with other policies and measures, energy research can contribute to solving various social dilemmas. If energy is fundamental to all human activity, then the lack of energy can have serious consequences. Whether due to location - remote or island communities - or inadequate means - low-income households - lack of access to a cheap and reliable supply of energy can have debilitating effects on individuals and communities.
Energy research creates new jobs
Advances in technology made possible through R&D are driving changes in the energy industry. Energy market liberalization, a key process in European integration, is leading to the unbundling of a range of energy activities and prices. For example, Europe's electricity sector is undergoing rapid change, not only in terms of ownership, but also with new entrants, particularly in the gas, combined heat & power (CHP) and renewable energy sectors.
Examples of how energy research can contribute to economic and social cohesion:
Distributed generation - the trend towards smaller-scale generation nearer to the point of energy use will have significant benefits for remote communities. However, there remain many technical and non-technical barriers to overcome before such systems become economically viable.
Biomass for energy - whilst much of the energy sector is capital intensive, employing generally skilled and technical personnel, the future development of biomass for energy also holds out the promise of increased employment in the agricultural sector, an area that has witnessed a dramatic decline in recent years.

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General John R. Kroger announced a new mission statement for the Oregon Department of Justice as well as a plan to name the main Justice Building after his predecessor, Hardy Myers
Today, John R. Kroger was sworn in as Oregon's new Attorney General in a packed room at the Oregon Supreme Court. Mr. Kroger used the occasion to announce a new mission statement for the Department of Justice that focuses on enforcing the law and protecting Oregonians.
Attorney General Kroger took the oath of office from Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul J. De Muniz and was also welcomed by Governor Ted Kulongoski, a former Oregon Attorney General.
"As your Attorney General, I will get up every day and work as a hard as I can to protect you and your family," said Kroger. "My priorities are clear: fighting crime, protecting the environment, and defending children and consumers."
Attorney General Kroger also announced that he will ask the legislature for a Joint Resolution to name the current Justice Building in honor of his predecessor, Hardy Myers.
"I have great respect for Hardy Myers," Kroger said. "He was a great Attorney General and a great Speaker of the Oregon House. His career exemplifies the values we hold dear at the Oregon Department of Justice: integrity, public service, and commitment to the rule of law."
The Department's new mission statement reflects the priorities Kroger first declared in his campaign. The new mission statement reads:
The mission of the Oregon Department of Justice is to provide outstanding legal and child support services to Oregonians and their government.
We are dedicated to:
Copies of the previous Department of Justice mission statement are available on request

I grew up a poor black child.
Bloods, Crips
is it really only 100 mA? I'm almost positive it's 1000 mA, did y'all leave out a third zero by accident?
edit: for what it's worth, I'm only planning on making a very short charge-only cable for use with wall-wart USB adapters… will I run into problems pumping more than 100mA or will the wall adapters know not to?
No public wish lists :(

Moshiach Times...
Hurricane Sandy, now dubbed by meteorologists the hybrid "Post Tropical Cyclone" has superseded anything I was going to write about, although my daughter's visit from Israel to the States was one of the topics under consideration. But this storm became monstrous, and has,
unfortunately, intertwined with her visit.
She is now stranded at her cousin's apartment in New York City, without power, on the sixth floor. They weren't worried when I spoke to them yesterday morning: they live in what was designated "beyond Area C," not expecting many problems and not expecting power outages. Area A was the area in the direct line of the hurricane and closest to the ocean: lower Manhattan--the Battery Park area, which was under a mandatory evacuation.
In this photo it looks as if the sea is coming in and taking over the land, which it is, at high tide in Battery Park.
But as I stated above, my niece, her husband and my daughter who was staying with them (her sister Toodles saw her for only one day--she had to fly out on a business trip, and because all flights were cancelled, decided to fly to her main office in Florida), lives beyond Area C--considered far enough away from the danger zone that nothing should have happened. Or so she thought. But they didn't anticipate a transformer exploding on 14th Street in Manhattan. So far as I am aware, there is no power from 34th Street and lower, and Con Edison has no clue when power can be restored.
My daughter is now stranded on the sixth floor with no power. The only way she can reach street level is by her cousin-in-law and cousin--or neighbors who are linebackers--lifting her in her wheelchair down six flights of stairs. And then she has to find a cab to take her to the airport on Thursday, in order to fly here to be with us out West. She was supposed to arrive here yesterday morning.
My daughter really missed New York and wanted to stay there longer. Now she's sick, maybe with bronchitis, and forced to stay there under not-so-great conditions (she got her wish). I am hoping she will be able to fly out on Thursday.
One of the places she visited was Ground Zero, a few days into her trip. This is what it looked like when the hurricane finished with it. A hole in the ground. With water.
You can see more astounding photos here.
I was born and raised in New York City. I have never seen it like this. Ever. Some say, all these brutal natural disasters occuring so frequently, plus all the horrific mass murders that are happening--not to mention Iran on the verge of acquiring the capability of nuclear weapons--are a sign that the End Is Nigh. Moshiach Times. I don't know. Perhaps it's just that in the information age, we have global information at our fingertips and are instantly informed, through our PCs, our smartphones, and our tablet computers.
Just the same, a note to my Jewish readers: keep your passports updated and betokef...

The 54-year-old has backed his side to pick up after an inconsistent start to the season and insists his players are playing better than they ever have in the Premier League
The Potters have only taken four points from their five opening games this term, but the 54-year old believes that his players have shown signs of improvement, especially compared to previous seasons.
"If we keep playing the way we have been playing and work as hard as we have done, then I'm confident our fortunes will change," Pulis told the club's official website.
"In terms of starts to a season, this is certainly as well as we've played since we've been in the Premier League and I'm sure that the results will come.
"The important thing is that we're trying to keep moving forward and we've put things in place to improve the football club. We've brought in some players this season who will help us to do that, but it takes time when you make those changes.
|Michael Owen is 11/2 with bet365 to open the scoring when Stoke face Swansea on Saturday
"I think our supporters can see what we are trying to do and they appreciate that it is the right way. We have known from the outset that this was going to be a tough start to the season, so there is a need for us all to be patient."
The former Plymouth boss is expecting a tough test when Swansea visit the Britannia Stadium on Saturday and has highlighted an added steel to the Swans' midfield.
"Swansea did exceptionally well last season and they started this season well," he said. "It is impressive what they have done over the last few years.
"I think they are physically more adept now because Michael Laudrup has brought in two players in the middle of the park who have given them more strength."

US stocks opened higher Thursday, chasing solid gains in markets in Asia and Europe, helped by an expected strong upward revision in the US economic growth estimate for the third quarter.
Thirty minutes into trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 69.34 points (0.53 percent) to 13,054.45.
The S&P 500 gained 9.07 (0.64 percent) at 1,419.00, while the Nasdaq Composite added 24.00 (0.80 percent) at 3,015.78.
The Commerce Department raised its estimate for third-quarter growth as expected, to 2.7 percent from 2.0 percent, but the details on consumer spending in the period pointed to a slower fourth quarter.
"The prevailing message is that the economy is growing, but at a rate that is below potential and which is making it difficult to put a major dent in the unemployment rate," said Patrick O'Hare of Briefing.com.
Some analysts said share prices were buoyed by perceived progress in Washington negotiations on a deficit plan to avoid the fiscal cliff.
But O'Hare said there was no concrete sign of movement. "Hopeful words right now are speaking louder than inaction on the fiscal cliff."
Poor data from retailers echoed the read on consumer spending in the GDP numbers.
Shares of department store Kohl's sank 9.0 percent after it reported a 5.6 percent fall in same-store sales in November. Analysts had expected a rise.
Kohl's competitor Macy's lost 1.6 percent as it reported a 0.7 percent fall in November sales, though it put much of the blame on the impact of Hurricane Sandy, which shut down much of the New York area economy in the first week of the month.
Jeweler Tiffany lost 7.5 percent as it missed quarterly earnings expectations -- net earnings fell 30 percent -- and cut its forecast for the rest of the year.
On the Nasdaq, volatile BlackBerry maker Research In Motion surged 7.2 percent helped by an upgrade from Goldman Sachs.
Bond prices slipped. The 10-year US Treasury yield rose to 1.63 percent from 1.62 percent Wednesday, and the 30-year moved to 2.80 percent from 2.78 percent.
Bond prices and yields move inversely.
