There seems a delusional gap in logic. This is a state that has spent itself into crisis, and there really is not room to tax itself out of crises. If the money does not exist, it cannot be made to magically appear, not matter how much Monning wants to raise taxes on the folks who are already scrapping to stay in their homes and cutting back in every area. California is broken because we have taxed and spent our way into catastrophe, and we cannot tax our way out by driving wealth and business out of the state. It should be obvious.
#2 Sep 25, 2009
We should be looking for more money for education not cutting it," Monning told demonstrators.
Typical Democrat spend and tax mentality. Maybe he and the unions should take a course on how to get blood out of a stone.
Have they offered any other solution other than raising taxes? No.

It's an economic slowdown and EVERYONE is wearing it, not just college students and staff. Think about your parents and their endless worry over keeping their jobs in order to keep most of you in school--are they staging protests at work? No. They are harder than ever and working within the system to get through the hard times.
Most of these protesters (kids) have paid very few taxes into the system and expect to have things given to them--spoiled little brats. Many others (faculty and administration) have spent little time in the real world and have little understand of how it works. Market forces and CAPITALISM drive our economic existence have gotten us where we are today, and we're still in a better place than almost the entire rest of the world. You want a socialist state with free stuff for all, that's fine, but be prepared to have the U.S. look like Haiti in about 15 years.
Go out and create value for yourself or create something of value--that's the way it is done in this country. Alternatively, simply ask President Obama for a handout, now that you've declared "Victim" status and given up on the system. I'm sure he's more than willing to arrange that for you.

As long as the UC administrators can still get paid $200K to $800K/year, everyone should be safe going back to sleep after their token protest.

Did it ever occur to you that these people have invested a tremendous amount of time and money into building their careers so that they might just deserve what they get paid? Or is your comment based completely upon jealousy?

I am not sure if it is all the other "entitlements" that have put CA in this situation, but in my opinion, an educated populace is a competitive advantage and education should be given special priority. Another article in the Sentinel today equates the UC fee hikes to a "mortgage the future of California" and I think this is a correct analogy. When I think about my own familys experience, I can see how education made a huge difference. My grandparents had minimal education and worked in inner-city sweat-shops in the garment industry. Both of my parents, finished college and were able to improve their well-being and contribute to society because they were educated. My mom improved hundreds if not thousands of kids lives in her career as a special education teacher, and my dad was a Fire Captain. I know my mom's career affected many children for the better, and more then a few people owe their lives to the rescue efforts of my dad. What if education had been denied to my parents and my parents had worked in the garment industry too? As trite as it sounds, the world would have been a worse. My parents sent all 4 of their off spring to the various UCs because they believed in education. I really doubt with the cost of a UC education at $10K a year, my parents could send their 4 kids to UC today. These fee hikes truly will make CA a worse place for our children and grandchildren. Also, some of the other posters have said we live in a capitalistic society and these UC students have paid very little tax-wise so they should stop whining about fee increases. Keep this in mind: a person with a 4 year college degree makes something like 1million $ more then a person with a high school education over a lifetime. This equates to much more tax revenues. I would hazard a guess that most of the startup-companies that go on to employ large numbers of people are founded and run by people with more then a high-school education, so education can be considered and driver of the economy.

I want to grow up to be a Liberal larva with all the taxpayer and parental provided freebies! We demand cheap admissions based on our lifes experience and any and all claims of mionority copnnection in our ancestyory! We expect to pay only minimal costs for admissions and tuition costs to attend our liberal college indoctrination which teaches us to rail against sucessful venture capitalists and strive for redistribution of wealth just like our hewros Stalin, Lenin, Castro, Chavez, Chaiman Mao, Uncled Ho and the rest! Viva Marxism. Viva Obama! My professors have instilled in me the advantages of suckling at the taxpayers teets. We demand free stuff and we don't give a darn how bad the rest of you taxpaying losers are doing trying to make a living in the real world. We want everything our way or the highway pal!
#10 Sep 25, 2009
In the real world - when you can no longer abide by the conditions of your employment - you... go... work... somewhere... else.......
If these people are so valuable and have achieved such high levels of performance then "going to work somewhere else" should not be a problem.

What about everyone else in the country? There are many many people out there in the work force who have invested a tremendous amount of time into their jobs and the companies they work for. If the economy has slowed down and the money is just not there, they have a choice. Take a pay cut or lose your job.
A friend of mine has been working in her job for 18 years. She told me the other day her pay is being cut 30%. 30%!!!! She's been loyal to her company yet she knows they have to do what they have to do. Are you saying she is any less deserving? They have put into place a plan where if she can exponentially increase revenue she can share in the profit. They love her and are trying to keep her. It's a two way street.
Part of the big problem in academia is tenure. These tenured professors think "I deserve it, I don't have to produce revenue, and what can they do about it!" Now they are finding out, just like all the rest of us, that there is something that can be done about it.
#13 Sep 25, 2009
Students vote progressive and liberal like sheep.
Now that their elected leaders have driven business to other states (and countries)and the tax revenue to support their education is reduced they yell...
Look in the mirror and realize your votes are responsible for the killing of biz which has hiked your fees.
The link is direct and observable.

"Did it ever occur to you that these people have invested a tremendous amount of time and money into building their careers so that they might just deserve what they get paid? Or is your comment based completely upon jealousy?"
Did it ever occur to you that the mentality of austerity for everyone except me is the epitome of hypocrisy? Why should a UC administrator make more then the president of the US? UC administrators make very good salaries but UC staff is by all measures underpaid. Keep in mind, UC administrators are paid on the public dime; if UC administrators wanted to make top $, they should have gone into private industry. We need more scholars\administrators who work in education for the love of the profession and not love of the $.
#15 Sep 25, 2009
They do have a right to build their careers. However, one of the things which is sticking in people's craws is that some of those folks at the top are getting massive raises while the folks much further down are getting their wages cut. As for UPTE and UCOP, there's poor leadership happening on both sides as each side refuses to compromise.
It's a mess. And to the person who suggested that those staff and faculty striking go get other jobs - have you seen what employment is like in CA? And many folks wish to remain in this community and improve it.
I agree that taxation should not go up to support more money to the institution. Rather, I think UCOP should act more responsibly and openly with the money the UC system does have.
#16 Sep 25, 2009
Hardly. They're turning higher education (which is needed for a competitive industry) back to only for the rich. They're protesting having to graduate with riduculous debt. Imagine if there were no student loans and people had to pay up front. Only the rich need apply. Having said that, too many go to university nowadays and study a major that can't be used when they graduate.
#17 Sep 25, 2009
At the end of this piece we see what the protest was really all about: Bill Monning and 40 Pajaro Valley teacher protesters calling for elimination of the 2/3 threshold for passing tax hikes. And of course the financial problems are all about those fat cat administrators, and nothing to do with fat cat professors like Angela Davis, now drawing a huge pension for her decades of filling a chair in the UCSC History of Consciousness Department, schools providing non-classrom services like day care facilities, etc. etc. Yeah, the unions will shout "Cut from the top!" where there are non-union positions to eliminate.

From beer to water, Netherlands gets first king in a century
By Anthony Deutsch
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - In a country where a third of the land is below sea level, a head of state familiar with the complexities of keeping nearly 17 million people dry can be a good thing.
So it's not entirely a coincidence that Willem-Alexander, who will take up the throne on April 30, as head of the House of Orange-Nassau and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, has been immersed in the business of water management and conservation for much of his life.
Willem-Alexander, 45, will assume his new duties after the abdication of his mother, Queen Beatrix, who turns 75 on Thursday, after living the life of a somewhat flashy heir-apparent.
The last time the Netherlands had a king, more than a century ago, was when Willem-Alexander's great-great grandfather William III held the throne. William III died in 1890, the same year that Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh shot and killed himself. Since then, queens have ruled the Netherlands.
Willem-Alexander Claus George Ferdinand, known as "Alex" to his friends and dubbed "Prince Pils" by the tabloids because of his taste for beer, has carefully built up a reputation as an expert in water management and sits on several international committees.
His marriage to a commoner, whose father was a civilian minister in Argentina's military dictatorship from 1976-1983, at first raised eyebrows.
But Maxima Zorrigueta, an attractive blonde with a down-to-earth smile, won over the hearts of the Dutch, quickly learning their language. Last year she took a dip in one of Amsterdam's canals to show people how clean they have become.
Water is no trivial matter in the Netherlands, where dikes and sea barriers hold back the North Sea and a complex system of pumps and canals keeps the land dry enough for people to live in and for its farmers to produce tulips and cheese worth billions of euros. Continued...

85 Eldo Telescopic wont tighten or lock
I replaced the worn steering wheel on my 1985 Eldorado Biarritz Convertible with a better one.
Seemed pretty simple until attempting to reinstall.
I aligned the wheel to the shaft replaced the spring and the rubber (hose) grommet then the telescopic lock assembly with the three bolts.
Now the wheel moves freely in and out no matter how tight I try to tighten the telescopic lock.
I have found exploded diagrams and all looks to be correct.
Can anyone help? Thanks
Re: 85 Eldo Telescopic wont tighten or lock
Remove the horn pad again then remove the 3 screws holding the lock lever and remove it. Now turn the threaded shaft by hand clockwise to lock the wheel. Then reinstall the lock lever and 3 screws in the middle of the slots with the lever to the right of the steering wheel slot. The lever only has to move a quarter inch left to release the shaft. You simply did not thread the shaft far enough into the column.

ford 390
Hi - Am the owner of a 1963 Thunderbird which I would like to slightly modify to make a nice cruiser . My question is regarding the Engine . Presently it has the original 390 & automatic trans . Would a 390 & C6 out of a newer Ford bolt in ? Would I be better off with a 351W ?
Thanks for the input .
Nothing wrong with that old big block, rebuild her (or swap a newer less worn version) and you should have plenty of power. Swapping out the 100 pd cast iron intake with aluminum is one of the first things I would do.
The possibilities are endless... ;)
Still LOTS of hi-po parts made for FEs including Edelbrock trick heads manifolds, cams pistons - everyting you can think of. Get a Summit catalog and drool!
Thanks for the replies . I don't think it's the 390 in my car that's limiting me , I think it's the transmission . Will a C6 bolt onto the 63 block ?
[quote]Will a C6 bolt onto the 63 block ?

Yes it will, but if the car was mine, I would have the FMX overhauled by a COMPETENT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE SHOP.
The conversion will give you trouble in linkage and driveshaft length at the least. Also be advised that about the year of your BIRD, FORD changed the engine mount pads on the block so take this into consideration if you want to use a later engine.
The 390 can be warmed over easily and still appear to be factory assembly.
It will fit, a few minor mods (mounts,etc.), although that trans is the same as a later FMX and they are a fine trans. You could get a '66 or later valve body and install it with a shift kit and the cruiso will be more than up to the task.

text: Posted January 2, 2014 haha. This kid's appendicitis bill from a hospital has gone viral when his health insurance didn't cover 11k of it. http://www.viralnova.com/hospital-bill/ I guess a lot of people didn't realize this was how stuff worked. I'm curious about the nature of his father's plan, though, and I want to know if I can blame Obama. ;) So here's a question: Would single payer really drive down hospital costs, or would they simply shift the cost in a way that would cause the average person to pay me slightly more on a yearly basis for health care? I'm cool with paying more so other people can stay healthy, know I'll need it some day. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

text: NEW YORK (AP) — Drug developer Forest Laboratories Inc. said Tuesday it expects a profit boost in fiscal 2010, driven by sales of the Alzheimer's disease drug Namenda, while sales of the antidepressant Lexapro remain flat. The company expects profit between $3.45 and $3.55 per share on revenue of about $4.1 billion. In fiscal 2009, the company earned $2.52 per share on revenue of $3.92 billion. The fiscal year ends March 31. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect profit of $3.47 on revenue of $4.18 billion in fiscal 2010. Forest Laboratories said it expects Lexapro sales to remain flat at about $2.3 billion and Namenda sales to rise 12 percent to $949.3 million. The drug developer also reported fourth-quarter profit plunged on a hefty charge for reserve funds related to federal allegations that it bribed doctors to prescribe antidepressants and pushed for their use in children.

Beyond the scope of large contests like the Olympics, Dew Tour, USSA Grand Prix, and the X Games halfpipe riding has pretty much been on the back burner as far as video edits go. The accessibility and cost to film Street is far easier and cheaper than riding a resort pipe – let alone ride it enough to get really good.
It took 7 shapers over 1,500 hours to construct the DC Area 43 Pipe at the French resort Meribel and it looks like Thomas Krief enjoyed every second of it.

Hotel Erwin is perfectly located on Venice beach, the staff is excellent, restaurant serves excellent breakfasts, nothing to complain about.
We loved the new and greatly designed rooms, as well as the young atmosphere of the hotel. The rooftop bar will take off - it is a great place. We will be back! The staff needs some more time together to make everything run smoothly. But they were always very nice and friendly - thanks for a great time with you!
Miguel was fabulous and helped us in many ways, he went above and beyond. The entire staff was friendly and helpful The music on the roof did keep us up, and the ear plugs cost money
Great location, very new, and very nice staff! Perfect place in Venice.
The closeness to the beach and water and how close we were to Venice beach all the interesting people and places we saw was just amazing can't wait to come again The only thing I didn't really like was the view from our room
Was given great upgrade; rooftop is fantastic Absolutely everything was great!
It was close and convenient to my son who lives in Venice. Stayed there in Dec. in the newer rooms on the top floor which was much nicer than the room I had this time. Also, I think the 6th. floor room was about the same price as the room where I was this time.(5th floor) Yes, I opened the sliding door during the night for some fresh air. It was difficult to sleep because of the noise(homeless sleeping in the alley) that my room overlooked.
We were planning to have our short, informal ceremony on the beach and then enjoy the rooftop; but, our view was so amazing, we had our ceremony right on our patio deck! Also, when I mentioned to Billy that we were getting married that day, he sent a bottle of champagne to our room! Unbelievable guest service! We will recommend the Erwin to friends & family.
We stayed here with a couple friends for a birthday weekend celebration. Jesenia was really nice and calles us when we were able to check in early. The rooms were great. My cousin checked in early but didn't get the king bed she booked. So later she called Jeff and was able to get a better room. A suite! The rooftop lounge during the day was great. The bartenders was nice. At nighttime, the waitress we had was btichy. The lounge areas were nice but even for hotel fuests we had to reserve on opentable.com. the problem was we had a big group. They provide blankets so thats a plus but we didn't stay up there long. Lastly, Valet/parking was $32!
The hotel is realy gret. Great staff, wonderful instalations..... So I really could live there. The price and the cost to park, once the garage is inside the building of the hotel.
The tiny sign on the door entrance in the corner.. Stating that there were chemicals in the building from which you could get cancer from.. Was not clear when I book the hotel that the building is a health risk.
the suite was awesome! The rooftop bar was great. Blankets were clutch. Friendly staff!
If you're looking for Venice Beach, the location is perfect. Unfortunately, the place as a whole is a little worse for wear, especially at $220/night. Reception feels more like a $40/night hostel than a hotel, bedding and couch both looked not entirely clean and there was mold and mildew all over the bathroom floor and walls.
Beautiful room, great location, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. Parking was inconvenient.
Kitchen Too loud. Young people manage the place and don't care. Elevators broken!!! Can't go outside the hotel, too many homeless people around the outside of hotel.Never again!
Venice is what it is too many bums but venice breeze suites are very clean and nice and rooftop is great
I did not see any live bugs; only dead ones. Room looked nothing like the pictures. Level of maintenance was abysmal. Linens were not commensurate with price of hotel.
Closeness to the beach and beach walk.We were near the action and still felt safe. I really liked the windows and airiness, the chairs at the end of the hall looking out over the beach. Not really a complaint, the parking was a little difficult but that was to be location-location. Good restaurants.
location and friendliness of the staff. Lack of secure parking
The people at the lodge were really amazing. They were friendly and could answer a lot of questions. Dom is the events coordinator there at the hostel and he used to take everyone out for nightly events which allowed poeple to interact with each other. There were people from many different countries and it was interesting to share their perspective on things. The beachside views was fantastic. The music around reminds you of san Francisco in the 60's. They also have free breakfast in the morning, a separate room if you want to store huge luggage and a common room where people from different rooms can talk to each other during the day. At $35 per night, i think that its a good deal compared to the expensive hotels in LA The spring beds were really not that comfortable. I didn't get much sleep. Also there is just 1 shared bathroom for 8 rooms which could get cramped up somtimes. Add to that, those bathrooms get clogged often. I also had to struggle in getting the door open as the key would not fit in completely. The vending machine is out of order.
Ir was ok for a budget place didnt feel too safe in the hotel surroundings in the night...
Great Location and staff and fellow travelers

What Asia's Google Searches RevealChristina Larson
Google knows what you—collectively—obsessed over in 2013. Well, it knows with the exception of people in mainland China, where the search engine remains blocked, and in North Korea, where only a handful of the elite has Internet access at all. According to Google's recently released annual Zeitgeist report, here are some of the year's pan-Asian search highlights:
• Strong signs of technology-search convergence. In 2010, searches in many Asian countries focused on software and hardware made within that country, such as Japan-based searches related to Japanese social network Mixi. By 2013, searches tended to be much more convergent. People in every country were searching for information about the Samsung Galaxy S4, the iPhone 5s, and the China-based WeChat social network.
• Natural disasters prompted many searches. And 2013 was a tough year for Asia, from Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to worries about H7N9 avian flu in mainland China and Hong Kong.
• Asian voters increasingly seek information about elections and national politics online. Asian politicians are becoming savvier about online outreach, from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's campaigning on social media to Malaysia's decision to stream live video of election debates online for the first time.
• North Korea is trending. People inside North Korea can't use Google, but the rest of the world uses Google to try to figure out what's going on inside the Hermit Kingdom.
• Korea and Japan rule Asia's pop culture. A year after Psy's Gangnam Style went viral globally, searches for Korean pop anthems held strong in Asia. Also popular: Attack on Titan, a Japanese anime series.

So the day has come & it's time to re-enlist tomorrow.
As opposed to taking a break in service, or navigate the byzantine process of re-enlisting as an IRR i've stayed in the Reserve Navy. So I am signing another contract with the reserves, with the intent to either pursue a commission or 1ST MARDIV orders into the active Navy once Im done with college, before this contract is up. Some of my friends, also in the service tell me I am nuts - "You WANT to go to Camp Pendleton again"? And I have to remind the ones that aren't Corpsmen, that its about job satisfaction: being an FMF Corpsman has it's share of days, yet for every one of those there are plenty where I am reminded WHY I feel I've got the best rate in the Navy.
Anyhow, I am happy to raise my hand & swear - in again, looking forward to pass by the years until at least 20 roll by. I just want to earn my retirement and my seat at the local VFW.
Best regards - Doc

UK Immigration Law
Have UK Immigration Law Questions? Get Answers Now.
Hi there,
I still have a concern about my son's status at the moment. As I replied in the previous main his application has been forwarded in the right time before the expiry date and the returned as UKBA had problems in accessing my account. Then the second application was sent shortly after the documents were received. That was just after the expiry date. I am wondering if this could cause the delay of the case and the documents still at UKBA. And the second concern that his job has been taken off him. Could this somehow affect the visa decision (from your practice)? I'm sure we are not the only one in a similar situation. The situation in which my son who wanted to apply for the university and the student finance and was taking full time employment to support his studies is now in shatters. Is there any article (a waver) in the immigration law that can be used to restore his status situation as he is not an overstayer at least in the definition given by the UKBA? Thanks

NEW YORK—Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was named the NFL's most valuable player for a record fifth time Saturday, on the eve of his Super Bowl appearance Sunday.
Manning, in his second season with the Broncos since being released by the Indianapolis Colts after undergoing four neck surgeries, set single-season NFL records by throwing for 5,477 yards and 55 touchdowns. His previous four MVP awards, already the most in league history, had come with the Colts.
The selection was made by the Associated Press and was announced during the "3rd Annual NFL Honors" show taped Saturday evening at Radio City Music Hall.
Manning did not attend and will be seeking his second career Super Bowl victory when the Broncos face the Seattle Seahawks in East Rutherford, N.J., Sunday. He received 49 of 50 MVP votes, with the other vote going to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Manning also was named the AP offensive player of the year Saturday.
Ron Rivera was named the AP's coach of the year after leading the Carolina Panthers to a 12-4 record and the second seed in the NFC playoffs. The Panthers won 11 of their final 12 regular-season games following a 1-3 start. They lost an NFC semifinal at home to the San Francisco 49ers. But that didn't diminish their regular season accomplishments in the eyes of the voters after the Panthers had gone a combined 13-19 over the previous two seasons.
"I have a great group of players that are coachable, that listen, do the things that are asked of them and believe in it as well," Rivera said.
One of those Panthers players, linebacker Luke Kuechly, was named defensive player of the year. The second-year pro had 156 tackles, four interceptions and two sacks.
"It's a great honor," Kuechly said. "With these individual awards, I think it's important to thank the guys around you."
Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy was named the offensive rookie of the year. He rushed for 1,178 yards and 11 touchdowns after dropping to the second round of the NFL draft.
"It's not a grudge thing," Lacy said. "Or it's not a, 'You were picked first and I wasn't but I did better than you' type of thing. I just wanted to come out and just play the way I knew I was capable of playing."
New York Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson was named the defensive rookie of the year after a 78-tackle, 3-1/2-sack season. He edged Buffalo Bills linebacker Kiko Alonso by four votes, 23 to 19.
"It was a tossup to me," Richardson said. "It was tight."
San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was named the comeback player of the year. Rivers threw for 32 touchdowns and had only 11 interceptions while leading the Chargers to the playoffs. He'd totaled 35 interceptions and had lost 12 fumbles over the previous two seasons.
Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman was named the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year for accomplishments on and off the field.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL – The Rider University men's golf team opened the spring season at the Lonnie Barton Invitational on Monday and Tuesday, hosted by LIU Brooklyn at the Hills Course at LPGA International. The Broncs finished 10th of 12 teams, shooting 321 on Monday and 327 on Tuesday.
Freshman Jake Sollon (Venetia, PA/Peters Township) was the Broncs' top finisher. After shooting a five-over 77 on Monday, Sollon slipped back into a tie for 30th for the tournament with an 11-over 83 on Tuesday.
"Conditions were tough and we were rusty. We're happy to have our spring season underway and are going to clean some things up before Villanova." – Rider Head Coach Jason Barry
• The Broncs' best individual round came from senior Aaron Simone (Niskayuna, NY/Niskayuna), who shot a four-over 76 on Monday.
• Senior Parker Mann (Blauvelt, NY/Tappan Zee [Seton Hall]) carded a five-over 77 on Tuesday, the Broncs' best round of the day.
The Broncs return to action March 27-28, when they take part in the Wildcat Invitational, hosted by Villanova in Malvern, PA.

Had some friends stop by on their way to Philly for the weekend. The hubby likes some highend imported stuff that I do not always have around. One of our local shopping centers (Drexiline in Drexilhill) has a new selection which includes building your own six packs. Sounds great right? Pickup the snacks and beverage one stop. After a carful selection of 2 six packs I am asked for my drivers license while checking out. Funny at first but they wanted to scan it. I asked why - they said it was a new rule instituted by the state liquor control. I know the store manage as my son worked there in HS. I will stop by Sunday for some game time snacks and ask them what they do with the scanned license info.
Call me paranoid but I do not like the idea of someone knowing my drinking patterns
Anyone else experience this?

I have noticed that amazon and ebay carry a lot of the old manuals. Saw some speer and other brand manuals from what looked like the 60s-80s. Do these still have a place in modern reloading?
I assume some loads would depend heavily on the gun they are going into. From what I gathered the charges were higher. For instance I would assume a heavy frame revolver may fair better with some loads than a new airweight.
Anyhow, with proper increases in powder one could check for signs of overpressure and arrive at a safe load. Will these old manuals take me to a limit the new ones don't offer? Would it be more of a novelty to own than anything?
Hope this thread is coherent. Jazzed up on some evening coffee.

Hi all,
I'm soon to buy my first WRX and was wondering whether anyone could help me out a little. It's a 2001 model 2.0 liter. the car looks and feels like a dream. It seems to have been very well kept. The current owner treats it like his wife and claims he has changed the engine oil almost every 5000 km. He is however the third owner and not the first. The car has 157000 km on the clock and had its last timing belt change 20000 km ago. Although it feels fine mechanically and I cannot find anything myself, I am a bit worried about the mileage. How reliable are these engines and if treated well, should I be worried. How many can I hope to get out of her and what else should I be looking out for.
I would really appreciate any help on this and any info you could give me.

The diverse works of Asian women artists
by C.B. Liddell
I don't normally visit exhibitions in company, but this time I made an exception and press-ganged a female acquaintance to join me. The reason for this was that the show I visited, "Women In-Between: Asian Women Artists 1984-2012" at the Tochigi Prefectural Museum of ...


text: I ordered a 2013 WRX CBS Premium a month ago. I'll be replacing my 2004 Tiburon GT V6 5 speed. My wife learned to drive the Tiburon in 2006, but gave up on it after a month. She feels that manuals are unnecessary extra work. She's promised to re-learn how to drive a manual, and I want it to go as well as possible. Can you guys offer some advice on the best way to teach driving a stick to a relatively unwilling student? Is it dangerous for her to try to learn on the WRX? We still have some time with the Tiburon, so I'm hoping we can make some progress before the switch.

Details are still trickling out, but it appears that the Angels have finally pulled the trigger on the inevitable Dan Haren trade. Multiple Spanish-language reports claim that Haren has been dealt to the Chicago Cubs for Carlos Marmol. Carlos Marmol (Cubs) have been traded to the Angels. The pitcher confirms the move to @elcariberd. "Anaheim is a good team". — Yancen Pujols (@YancenPujols) November 2, 2012 The exact details of the package are not yet known as there is speculation that other players may be coming with Marmol and there is the small matter of sorting out all the money involved as Haren is owed $15.5 million and Marmol $9.8 million. Both players are in the final year of their contract. Until we know the exact details, we'll have to reserve judgment on the intelligence of this deal, but so far it has many Angel fans feeling queasy. At a minimum, we know the Angels now, presumably, have a new closer. One could certainly make an argument that Marmol and his career 6.03 BB/9 rate isn't even the third best reliever in Anaheim right now, but he does have the vaunted "proven closer" title on his resume. He also is coming to the Angels on the heels of one of his worst seasons having temporarily lost his closer job and even getting demoted to the minors at one point. He did seem to regain his form as a often wild strikeout machine after being recalled though, so there is hope that he has worked through his issues. But even with those concerns, there is little doubt that Marmol improves the overall talent level of the Angel bullpen, which was a major area of need. That's it for now, check back in with this post later once the deal is finalized and the details are fully revealed. [follow]

Hot on the heels of ViewSonic's tablet announcement, seasoned leakers Notebookitalia have revealed images of another tablet expected to be shown at IFA, the Toshiba SmartPad. Last year Toshiba had the infamous Journ.E Touch on show, but this device looks a good deal more promising.
First of all, the collection of icons on the right edge look very Android-esque, which is a good start. However, given that Android won't natively support resolutions above 800 x 480 until Android 3.0 (Gingerbread) is released later in the year, the 10-inch screen might not have the requisite pixels we'd like. Judging by the placement of the shortcut buttons, and the webcam above the screen, it looks as if the SmartPad is intended to be used in landscape mode, though we'll be surprised if portrait isn't supported as well.
Most interesting is the connectivity shown. Not only are all the usual suspects (headphone, docking port etc.) present, HDMI, standard USB and a mini-USB port are all available behind a hinged door, and there's what looks like a full-size SD card slot as well. Based on whisperings coming out of Taiwan, the SmartPad is also likely to be using Nvidia's promising Tegra 2 platform.
With Viewsonic and Samsung already confirmed to be exhibiting tablets at IFA, it looks as if IFA could be dominated by one topic alone. Oh joy!

Greetings all-can't get new unit to lock or generate any output after two hours in the window–the red light flashes every second. GP-635 locked right away as did another GPS module, so wiring and reception appear to be okay.
SiRFDemo solution looks interesting but can't figure out the software option–I'm current running a very simple sketch [loop(); setup();] on an Uno and can't establish communications.
DOA, perhaps?
No public wish lists :(

Door Alignment
1 Attachment(s)
Both front doors on my '12 are out of alignment. See the picture. This is the driver's side at the top hinge, and the front fender is on the left side. Alignment at the bottom hinge is OK. I noticed this when I bought the car, and it was not evident in the others. Mine's a V6, and all the others were V8s.
Does anyone else have this problem?
It appears that if I shim the hinge out I can correct this. Is there another method?
Re: Door Alignment
Yes, exactly my issue. Showed my dealer during first oil change. He claimed I needed a separate body shop appointment to address this as a overly-simplistic alignment might affect the necessary front-to-rear overlap (minimizing wind noise). Seemed a good argument.
I planned to wait for spring to roll around in case I had any other body/paint issues to address. Spring has SPRUNG, no new issues (knock wood). Time to arrange an appointment.
Re: Door Alignment
I had similar issue with my 2011 JGC. Dealer had body shop they use fix it, no questions asked. I just drove it to the shop and it was done within 1/2 hour.
Re: Door Alignment
I think I'll take it in then. There are some scratches on the hatch handle that I pointed out to them at the sale and they promised to fix. I'll get it all done at the same time as my next oil change.
Re: Door Alignment
Re: Door Alignment
Re: Door Alignment
I went by our dealer to see what if anything should be done with the front and back passenger-side doors being out of alignment by 1/8" or so where they intersect. Problem is, the fixed upper chrome trimline intersects perfectly, for whatever reason, while the beltline fixed trim and body panels are all off slightly. Adding to complication is that door-body gaps are slightly nonparallel, but the opposite of what you'd expect. So trying to remedy door-to-door horizontal misalignment would result in gaps being more, rather than less, out of parallel -- not quite touching, but close.
They're perfectly willing to do what they can, but it's not a case of adjusting one or the other or both doors to establish proper alignment and all is well. The upper trim piece that's fine now would be 1/8" off if the rest were lined up, and door-body gaps would be even more out of parallel.
IMO, something fundamental is off -- perhaps the unibody itself was manufactured slightly torqued. So, bottom line, we'll live with it.
Re: Door Alignment
I had same problem with driver side doors. Body shop tried to fix them but not 100% fixed. Well...
Re: Door Alignment
Thanks, Panda -- nice, sorta, to know I'm not the only one.
If you've seen production videos where each enormous unibody gets attacked by a mess of robot welders, then only after that do they attach doors, hoods and so on, it's pretty amazing that it all comes out as well as it does.
In ye olde days, each Detroit factory had a special after-assembly room, hidden from prying eyes. There, ripped WWF type guys with thick gloves and beefy mallets would yank, kick, bang and pull doors and panels that were out of alignment so they would fit properly.
I guess they don't do that any more!
Re: Door Alignment
Mine is really out of align also, quality control is still bad with Jeep. It would have surprised me if it was perfect
Re: Door Alignment
I have the same issue. Waiting for some spare time to adress that and the QL not feeling right after an initial shock replacement ( squeaking bushing ).

Cue Cards for Life Review
What an awesome Review I was given the chance to do. We talk everyday online, texting, email, and face to face, however with how our culture has change we rarely get the face to face interaction which we are reminded how less we understand appropriate ways to interact with each other.
Christina Steinorth author of Cue Cards for Life Gentle Reminders for Better Relationships is a wonderful book that helps remind us why and how to effectively communicate without the Mother Hen nagging of how we are communicating incorrectly. Steinorth actually has a gentle non threatening way for the reader be reminded of effective communication.
Sometimes the gentle reminders are worth more than a nagging word or arguments from a spouse, parent or friend. Our culture has moved far away from teaching how to interact with one another and its great to see great communication being taught.
If you want to learn to be closer to your parents, spouse, friends and your kids then pick up a copy of this book your life will be changed and you will feel like you are participating in their lives not just living your own path besides theirs.
I have to admit sometimes it is very difficult to look someone in the eye and truly listen, talk and understand one another when we are all caught up in our electronics. Steinorth offers wonderful insight and advice how to just stop and focus on active listening, active talking and truly being interested and acknowledging each other.

Fifty Famous Stories Retold (1896)
by James Baldwin
No current Talk conversations about this book.
We enjoyed this compilation of short stories although we read them in historical order instead of from start to finish. We also enjoyed fact checking the stories to find out if they were legend or real. A good read.
This is a collection of stories or "tales" that have been told over and over again throughout the centuries and unfortunately they are not as popular as they once were. Some of the tales are about real-life people and some are fictional heroes. Some are true and some are not, but the point is, each tells the tale of someone brave and heroic giving the reader a life-lesson without being didactic. Yes, there are some well-known tales such as some Greek myths, Sir Walter Raleigh, Pocahontas, and the fabricated yet well-told story of George Washington and the apple tree. Most of the stories however will be unknown to today's generation and I, myself, was only familiar with about half of them.
The stories focus is world wide, there are only a couple of American tales. Most come from England (such as King Alfred), then lots of Greek and Roman tales (though not many myths). Also featured are tales of explorers, sailors, William Tell, Napoleon, King Alfred, Robin Hood, Alexander the Great, Socrates and many others, many of whom I had not heard before.
Each story has one illustration, probably an engraving from the time period, artists' name are on some but they are too tiny to really read. James Baldwin writes for children in a easy storyteller mode often speaking directly to the reader. The 8yo and I enjoyed the stories just as much. I enjoyed finding tales I'd never heard before and he loved the swashbuckling tales of heroes. As in Baldwin's opening sentence in the Introduction these are tales which we should not let fade from our society. Some are still around today, but many are fading fast. Recommended!
The independent publishers Yesterday's Classics have reprinted many of Baldwin's books and I intend on getting more. They also have a wide catalogue of late 19th century children's books.

So we moved again and this time I think I am going to have to put my paw down. We seem to move almost every year but my mom says this should be it for a couple of years. Dad gets transfered and we have to move.
Man is it cold here and I don't have a dog walker anymore because Mom is home everyday, now there is also double the stairs, so I am working off some extra pounds right now.
Speaking of which the vet said I am about 4 pounds overweight, so I will work on that.
So this weekend had me all in a tizzy! There was so much going on, my Mom's brother was visiting and they were working on the house all weekend and I got in trouble for being in the way all the time.
These people never seem to sit down and nap. How these humans can go all day long without a nap I don't know.
Thankfully I had a break on Friday day and got to hike in Arguello hills and hang out with my boyfriend Henry (golden retriever).
We moved a few weeks ago and I have been very bothered by our new place.
Don't get me wrong, it is a huge new place and lots of space for me to run around and play but there are these really high ceilings and lots of windows and doors and glass everywhere and boy does this all have my collar in a bunch! I see every bird that flies by and have to bark, I hear my own barking and the echo and have to bark some more, I am confused as to where my treats are and my food is now in a cabinet that I can almost open myself.....
I have so much more work to do now that we are in this new place and a big staircase to run up and down everytime something happens.
BUT, now I have a big room where they put my human little sister on the floor to play which gives me easy access for licking,hehehehehehe....

Anne Murray Reveals Career Highs and Lows in New Book
When Anne Murray broke through with her hit song, 'Snowbird,' in 1970, she had no idea of the kind of success that it would bring her. Anne reveals the journey that took the small-town girl from Springhill, Nova Scotia, to cities around the world, in her new autobiography, 'All of Me,' which hit stores this week.
Anne, the only girl in a family of five boys, grew up a tomboy who had no problem in the rough and tumble world of her siblings. No doubt that upbringing prepared her for the climb to the top in the world of music — a climb that while seemingly happened overnight, was really a road filled with frustration before the singer was able to take charge of her career.
While Anne's true love was always music, she worked on various television shows during summers in between her college courses. After graduation she taught high school until she was offered a permanent job with 'Singalong Jubilee,' a national television show based out of Halifax. Soon thereafter, Anne made her first album with producer Brian Ahern, who went on to work with her on the next ten projects.
The singer, who went on to sell 54 million records, wavered between pop and country, placing songs at the top of both charts. She is quite candid about that in the book, revealing that Capitol Records would have preferred she pick one genre of music and stay there, despite the success she was having for them. In addition to 'Snowbird,' her hits included other crossovers like 'Danny's Song,' 'A Love Song,' 'You Needed Me,' 'You Won't See Me,' 'Could I Have This Dance,' 'A Little Good News' and 'Just Another Woman in Love.'
The Canadian singer is quite forthcoming about other topics in the autobiography, as well, including her affair with a married man, the stars who hit on her after she was a celebrity, and the learning curve she went through while she tried to gain control of her career. She also talks about her marriage and what brought it to a close, the time spent on the road away from her children and how she dealt with her daughter's battle with anorexia.
"I was swept up like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and catapulted into a strange new universe," writes Anne. "I was lonely and tired. My privacy was constantly being invaded. I was in love with a married man whom I seldom saw. I was touring with a group of musicians who at any moment were at risk of being arrested. What I wanted most was to stop and go home, but it wasn't possible. I had commitments and obligations as far as the eye could see."
One the hits started, the climb didn't get easier. Anne had to deal with a band that abused alcohol and drugs and her own stage fright; a stalker who stayed round for almost 20 years; and the death of her manager and best friend. She talks about the people who helped her along the way, like Glen Campbell, along with other celebrities she met including presidents, kings and queens, plus big names in entertainment like Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, John Lennon, Kenny Rogers and Perry Como.
Anne presents a very honest look at her career and her private life, one that most of her fans probably have not known before the release of this book. In looking back over her life, Anne says, "If I regret anything, It's that I didn't take enough time for myself and my family. Having to leave my children crying at the door as I flew off made me miserable."
After the release of her 'Duets: Friends and Legends' album, which featured a who's who of performers including Martina McBride, Emmylou Harris, Celine Dion and Sarah Brightman, Anne made the decision to retire. "After being on tour for most of my adult life, the time was right to stop and reflect," she explains. "The years pass so quickly when you're on the road, and besides," she adds with a chuckle, "I thought it was important to do this memoir, while I can still remember things!"
'All of Me' was written with journalist/author Michael Posner. Order it here.

OK, I have this question. Does you knife serve you are a letter opener, box cutter, fingernail cleaner, or string cutter or do you solely keep it razor sharp for Tactical purposes?

I generally have 3 or so knives on me. One "social,", two multipurpose. I don't use my pistol as a hammer...
All of the above, and then some.
I readily admit to being a knife guy, I like knives. I find enjoyment in owning and using them, just as I enjoy owning and shooting my guns..........and, it's not any more difficult to sharpen a knife that's been used (not abused) than it is to clean and reload a gun after it's been shot.
Tactical Knife
Tactical Box Opener
Tactical Letter Opener
Tactical Rope Cutter
Tactical Butter Knife
One question...
What's the difference?
"Wise people learn when they can; fools learn when they must." - The Duke of Wellington
Strictly for tactical use only, I have a small Gerber for everyday chores.
God bless our troops!
I only use my tactical knife when I have to sneak up on UPS parcels and "gut" them
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
Tactical knife? All knives are basic pieces of sharpened steel with a non-sharpened handle.
It's how you use them that determines their function, not their design per say.
~Mike F.
"Quemadmoeum gladuis neminem occidit, occidentis telum est."
I never use my defensive support side knife for mundane daily cutting chores.
I make certain that it sports a razor sharp edge using my Lansky Diamond sharpening system at home and then I do not use that knife for general cutting tasks. I never do but, I would (of course) in an Emergency.
I want it to have that ultra-keen flesh ripping edge in case I need it to save my bacon...so I do not open boxes with it or whittle wooden spoons with it in my spare time.
You need to decide why you carry that particular knife and always treat it accordingly.
Carry an additional small pocket knife or a Leatherman if you need an apple peeler, letter opener, box cutter, and fingernail scraper.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
Now if the answer is, "I like knives and the more the merrier", well that I do understand!
It's more a tool to me than it is a weapon.
Use it for just about everything.
...for tactical purposes (whatever that means).
Attaching a tactical Surefire to my tactical knife's tactical rail, I blind tactical boxes before tactically opening them for the tactical contents.
I carry a knife as a tool because I need a knife as a tool. That means I use it as a tool whenever I need that tool. Not sure I use it every day, but most days I probably use it at least once.
That being said, I have a few knives and just keep them sharp in case I need to use them for more than my daily activities.
It's just a big tool to me. I use it for everything from cutting an apple for lunch to opening boxes, whatever I need it for. Using a Cold Steel folder now, had an Emerson Commander before that and it was the only Emerson I've ever seen in such terrible shape. Made it through all the abuse and I finally felt sorry for it and retired it!
That makes a lot of sense....
My "tactical" knife is reserved for "tactical" use only.
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."

That's pretty funny! To my knowledge there is no such store you speak of and the problem with that is you then have a trial and error situation like this rest of us who end up with holsters they don't want or like anymore. I have been fortunate that I have only a couple like that but it happens to everyone.
The best thing I can tell you is call some of the makers that you are attracted to there work and get a consultation from them and they can direct you to something that 9 out of 10 times will work.

Sophomore running back Darius Ashley ran for 136 yards on 19 carries including first-half touchdown runs of 27 and 39 yards.
Rudy Kirbus was 10 of 22 for 92 yards with three interceptions in the game. If you look closely on Kirbus' wristband, the number 85 is there for his injured teammate John Ryan.
After a big first half, Ashley was held to just 25 yards in the second half.
Ashley was tackled by Reilly Lauer, #65, on this play.
Senior quarterback Brad Scherer gives the Bombers another running threat in the backfield.
Defensive tackle Marty Kern makes the tackle on Scherer on this play.
Brian Neff, #92, the other defensive tackle, takes down Scherer on this play.
Sophomore linebacker, Nick Schneider, trips up Kirbus on this play.
Ashley breaks open on his 39-yard touchdown run...
...and his gone!
Schneider is destined to be a top prospect in Ohio in two years.
Nick Secue was held in check for the game by a good St. Xavier defense.
Linebacker Alex Albright is one of the leaders of the defense.
Kyle Meyer makes the play on Secue on this play.
The Ignatius offense minus John Ryan and Rob Parris.
Louis Miller, #53, and sophomore Fred Craig, #7, converge on this sack of Kirbus.
Craig celebrates on the sack, one of four on the day for the Bomber defense.
Joe Ries brings down Secue on this play.
Neff stops Ashley on this play.
St. Xavier did throw the ball some later in the game.
Schneider tackles Secue in the end zone for a safety.
Seth Robinson makes a nice gain after a catch on this play.
Matthew McFarland had a touchdown catch for the third offensive score for the Bombers.
It's nearly become a nightmare of a season for John Ryan (on crutches) Rob Parris and Kirbus.
The longterm prognosis is good for both guys who will likely resume their careers at Notre Dame in good health.
The Bombers advance to 9-0 while the Wildcats end their regular season at 5-4.

Gravity was taking its toll on my face so I decided to make some changes. I wanted to get the "most bang for my buck" and besides a lift, did fat transfer and laser re-surfacing. I was glad to have it all done at once. As each day passes, I am happier and happier with the result.
The first couple of days were difficult, but within a week I felt ready to hit the gym (which I can't!) Best advice: Think about the area you would like to change or enhance--research it online--and then ask Dr. Virden HIS opinion about your plan--I was so glad I deferred to his knowledge and expertice!

i am asking you politely to stop taking my money.
Clever + cute, but no thank you.
Congrats, Flying Mouse. But you left out the one where the cat is smothered by my falling tee collection.
My dogs have done multiple of #5. Stupid Cat owners let their cats run everywhere and then wonder why their cats disappear.
Did a double take, thought for sure #7(bottom left) was death by Orange Juicer. Ahh, reminds me of the fond mornings when Mom would make fresh squeezed Cat OJ.
Hey what can I say I was raised by a pack of dogs. :'P
this is like the saddest shirt ever.
What an inspirational shirt. The kitty's on his last life and he still is able to live life happy and carefree.
I think every ex cat owner (who lost a cat by one of these ways) will be extremely happy to see you in this shirt. For me it is not funny. Cruel shirt.
Is number two eating bullets? And what IS number seven?
A win for cuteness. Congrats flyingmouse!

Oh my cuteness! It's so cute and cutesie, i just love how cute it is. I wish every shirt could be this cute so we could have cute, cutesie cuteness everywhere. Not sarcasm I swear.
"Batteries and toilet."
Now THAT would be a Woot-Off!
Dumb ways to die...
Not funny. Sick shirt. You should be ashamed.
The woot monkey Krampus must have demanded the cat quota be filled! Nine cats in one shirt!
(then again, do dead cats count?)
Grats on the win! So cute.

Why did it have to be cats!

WHAT is the second cat eating....corks?
What's Cat #6? Supercat with no powers? oops! Can't fly!
I don't get #6 (the cat with the cape). Otherwise, it's cute.
moniquelovescats wrote:...corks?
BOOM, double take.
Cats die, true story. Maybe this can serve as a cautionary tale for the would-be cat owner. Alternatively, maybe people thinking that this shirt is cruel can chill the heck out.

The cat always like to jumping here and there, at a high places. Maybe they thought they can fly like superman.

Looked like pills to me at first glance... Kitty needs to make the pain go away.
Bought one for my kid!
I saw shotgun shells...
I saw shells as well. "Yup, that'll kill that there cat good 'n' dead!"
I also saw #9 as the car narrowly avoiding falling in a bottomless pit, not as it romping playfully with it's shadow. I think the "9th live, finally learns to avoid simple pitfalls" is an important message to take away from this shirt.
Since, all shirts require important takeaway messages.
No, that's what I saw too.
I'm horking up a giant hairball at yet another cute cat shirt.

Independence Day Cake
This cake was wonderful…I made this to share at an out door concert…but I was concerned with decorating prior to serving after reading the reviews. So I decided to make these personal size cakes. I baked the cake in a larger pan, the used a 3 ½" round cookie cutter to cut the individual cakes. I sliced the strawberries prior and kept the cool whip frozen until ready to go. When it was time for dessert, I placed the cakes on individual plates, iced with whipped topping, placed berry slices around the edge, filled with blueberries, and everyone was impressed! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
independence cake
Tried it for today. Made it jesterday and covered it over night and decorated today. So moist,heavy but yet fine in texture.
Awesome Independence Cake
I recently made this cake for the fourth of july and it was awesome!! It was a hit with my family and my sister- in - law said "I think that was my favorite!!" Everyone loved it and was easy to make
Great cake
I made this cake for this fourth of July and it was gone in a flash. I will make it every 4th of July.
Independence Cake
My cake didn't come out as good looking as this one. By serving time, most strawberries slid & I made a cream cheese icing which started to melt off the cake. My strawberries wouldn't stay in position like the picture so I had to place individually on the cake. Next time I decorate right before serving!

Defense Department budget cuts hit Michigan this week, forcing about 8,700 defense employees to take unpaid days off.
Michigan's hardest-hit area is Macomb County, where more than 7,000 full-time civilian employees at the U.S. Army's Detroit Arsenal and Tank Automotive Command, or TACOM, in Warren are being forced to take off one day a week for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. Another 750 employees at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Harrison Township also are furloughed.
The impact of 11 days off equates to a 20 percent pay cut for the Department of Defense workers.
