Caveman Diet
If you thought you were old-fashioned, try this 40,000-year-old diet.Top Rated Diet Shakes of 2017
The Caveman Diet relies on a method that's roughly 40,000 years old - a healthy, simplistic approach to eating.
The Caveman Diet also goes by the name of The Paleolithic Diet or the Stone Age Diet.
The concept of the Caveman Diet is really quite simple: If it wasn't available to the cavemen, then you don't eat it. So out are grains, breads, flour, refined sugars, dairy, legumes, processed oils or anything that was cultivated or grown following the development of agriculture.
The premise behind the diet is that our bodies are genetically and evolutionary adapted to eating the foods of our Paleolithic ancestors and since human genetics have not changed since the time period, this is the kind of eating that humans are best suited for.
Foods allowed are on the Caveman Diet are all meats, including organ meats, fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables, fruits, roots and nuts.
The diet has been met with controversy from some health and nutrition experts who find fault with its evolutionary logic as well as its claimed benefits of the diet's special composition.
Proponents of the Caveman Diet believe that it is the large carbohydrate load largely coming from grains, flour and sugar, of the modern or post-agricultural industry that has contributed to the increased rates of obesity and weight-dependent health conditions.
Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
- Diet is focused on whole, unprocessed and nutrient-rich foods
- Will most likely result in weight loss
- Gluten and casein free
- Low in sodium
- Eliminates entire groups of food
- Strict nature may not be a viable long-term eating plan
- Inclusion of organ meats may detract potential followers
- May have a low satiety factor despite the diet's fat content
- Has a high saturated fat content if lots of pork and red meat are consumed
The Caveman Diet removes carbs like bread and potatoes, beans, sugars and sodium and instead gives the green light to fish, chicken, meat, root veggies like parsnips and carrots, eggs and of course nuts and berries.
Ideally, you should consume 65 percent of your calories from animal sources and the remaining 35 percent from plant-based foods. Organic and additive-free meats are strongly encouraged as fillers and hormones are likely to change the nutrient content of the meats consumed.
Since the foods on the Caveman Diet are very nutrient-rich, you will easily fulfill your quotas for vitamins, minerals as well as fiber and protein.
A typical day on the Caveman Diet might look like this:
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs and bacon. Lunch: Green salad topped with grilled chicken breast and slivered almonds. Dinner: Lamb chops seasoned with herbs and spices, and roasted asparagus and parsnips. Snacks: Berries, fruit, crudites, lean cold cuts, hard-boiled eggs, raw nuts, raw seeds and avocados.EXERCISE
Since the hunter and gatherers were always on the go, so is the modern person following the Caveman Diet. You should be as mobile as you can while following this diet. Walking as much as you can and doing any kind of physical activity is strongly encouraged.CONCLUSION
Even though the Caveman Diet has labeled a fad diet by the National Health Service of England and the American Dietetic Association, it deserves credit for being incredibly nutrient-rich, unprocessed and clean. Plus, it's gluten-free and it encouragemes regular physical activity.
If you have the discipline to put your love of bread, ice cream and black beans aside, the Caveman Diet is sure to knock off pounds and may even boost your nutrition as long as you don't take the diet as a free pass to eat bacon, sausage and steak three meals a day.Common Misspellings

I've been on the caveman diet for about 8 months now and have lost over 50 pounds, yeah it sounds like the atkins but its TONS better and healtier! I live on Fruits and Veggies! YUMMY!
It is fascinating how much seems to be known about what the cave men (and women) of 40,000 years ago had to eat. Also very intriguing to think that we might want to model our diets on a people with no scientific knowledge of nutrition, and who just MIGHT have been less healthy than modern man - and not all down to the fact that sabre-toot tigers were picking them off whenever possible. But why go back to cave men? We could model our diets on primitive tribes in Africa or Indonesia - unless more direct knowledge of their diet deficiencies might ruin the romantic notion of the noble, well-nourished savage.
Hmm Cave man diet sounds like the first Atkins diet.lol If the Cave Man had a legal team he would have a great case!

Everybody knows that faculty at research universities like UNC Charlotte spend a good part of their time doing research, but few people outside "the ivory tower" really know much about what that "research" is and why it matters to science (or other fields of knowledge) or to the world we live in.
Of course, part of the reason why university research is so mysterious is that it can be highly technical and require a lot of specialized background knowledge to understand. For this reason, researchers generally only communicate their work to others in their own fields. However, many researchers are also teachers, and, when asked, have the skills to talk clearly and enthusiastically about the results of their studies to almost any interested lay audience.
As part of its participation in the NC Science Festival, March 28 to April 13, UNC Charlotte has asked four faculty members to develop lectures aimed at showing the impact of their research to the public. Chosen both for their abilities in reaching wide audiences and for the thought-provoking nature of their studies, the presentations in the Faculty Lecture Series are meant to give their audiences clear and intimate views of some intriguing current university research activities.
The series begins with a lecture by design computing authority Mary Lou Maher, chair of UNC Charlotte's department of Software and Information Systems at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1. Maher's talk, entitled "Tangible Creativity," will focus on her work in studying computer systems designed to maximize human interactivity.
Says Maher: "Creativity in science and engineering is highly valued and not as mysterious as we once thought. Recent research has shown that something as simple as moving our body while solving problems can lead to more creative solutions. This revelation is now affecting how we design interactive computing systems. My talk will introduce various tangible computing devices and their potential for enhancing our creativity."
Maher's Lecture, and all other lectures in the Faculty Lecture Series, will be held in Room 105 of the Bioinformatics Building on the UNC Charlotte Campus.
Second in the series is a lecture by nanotechnologist Michael Walter, assistant professor of chemistry, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 3. Walter's talk is titled "Juice It Up! The Earth-Abundant Approach to Converting Sunlight into Usable Energy" and concerns his work in using organic molecules, including some commonly found in fruits, to design highly efficient solar cells.
From plastic solar cells and quantum dots, to blackberry-juice-sensitized nanoparticles and artificial photosynthesis, Dr. Michael Walter will explain how new and inexpensive technologies are transforming the way solar energy will be harvested, stored, and used on demand. Noting that the sun is the Earth's most abundant energy source, Walter explains: "My is talk about the future of transformative, solar energy technologies. If we could fully utilize this immense resource on a global scale using affordable technologies, we can supply the global community with carbon-free, clean, renewable energy."
Following on April 8 at 7 p.m is a talk by social sustainability researcher Thomas Gentry, associate professor in the school of architecture and director of the Laboratory for Innovative Housing. Gentry will speak on "Architectural Agriculture: Science, Technology, and Mathematics in Sustainable Communities."
An architect, Gentry researches the human/social dynamics of small, local agriculture and environmentally sustainable housing. He is one of the co-investigators of a major National Science Foundation funded grant project that is exploring the poorly understood social dimensions of sustainability.
The last lecture of the series takes place on April 10 at 7 p.m., as science education researcher Dr. Ian Binns, assistant professor of education, discusses the political and social challenges that are part of modern science education. Binns, who has personal experience with public attacks on the integrity of science education and who has written academic papers discussing the issue, will give a talk entitled "Defending Science Education in the Tar Heel State."
He explains: "Science education is under attack throughout the United States. Historically these attacks have focused on the teaching of evolution. More recently these attacks focus on evolution and climate change. This talk will address the various efforts that undermine the integrity of science and science education in the United States, with a focus on North Carolina."
In addition to the Faculty Lecture Series, UNC Charlotte is sponsoring a host of public events for the NC Science Festival (March 28-April 13), including a Guest Lecture Series (two events), a Science Film Series (four events), a Star Party, and the UNC Charlotte Science and Technology Expo, a large exhibition of science and technology from UNC Charlotte and the greater Charlotte community on April 13 at the Union Mall on the UNC Charlotte campus.
All events are free and open to the public.
For event locations, maps and more information, see http://ncsciencefestival.uncc.edu or call 704-687-5743. All events are sponsored by UNC Charlotte in association with the NC Science Festival. University sponsors include UNC Charlotte Research and Economic Development, the College of Computing and Informatics, the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, the College of Education, the College of Health and Human Services and the Graduate School. Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools and Discovery Place are community partners and WFAE 90.7 fm is a media partner.

Didn't know where this went so here goes:
I was contacted by a future Plebe to the academy whose parents want some FAM training on specific platforms there son will be using. I was going to do some Basic M4 Training M9 training and possible introduction to Full Auto (Controlled bursts/HK lean ect...) <-- very introductory static Enviorment.
I was going to give this future cadet a little advantage by also introducing him to what ever his drill RIFLE will be.
First question:
Do WP cadets keep rifles in their rooms? If so which one M16, M1 Garand, M14, 1903? At VMI we had M14's in our rooms. I've got all the semi's covered and I'm pretty confident he could figure out a 1903. But thanks if you can help.

2nd row headrests not moving...
Anyone know if therse should move up and down with no hassle... mine wont budge, and I cant see them being like that on purpose... never was using them until today!
Re: 2nd row headrests not moving...
Hello sdgc,
I looked up some information about this in your owner's manual, and in chapter 3 page 2 it states:
"The vehicle's second-row seats have head restraints in the outboard seating positions that cannot be adjusted."
I hope this information helps! Please private message me if you have any further questions. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Re: 2nd row headrests not moving...
I think they don't move so they don't get stuck or damaged when flipped forward an the driver or passenger seat is pushed back far. I know there is a DIY posted here on how to create a notch in the headrest post to raise it a bit.

Is PPG planning to leave Strongsville?
(Strongsville) - There is word that PPG has offered its' employees of its' Strongsville facilities relocation packages to the Pittsburgh-area with designs on closing the Strongsville operations in late 2014 or early 2015.
PPG corporate spokesman Brian Iams tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 the company 'does not comment on market rumors or speculation', although he does say 'PPG continues to look at its' facilities and where best to have its' employees'.
Strongsville Mayor Tom Perciak says he meet with PPG leaders this morning, and that they gave no indication they may be looking to abandon the city.
Perciak tells WTAM, he believes PPG will maintain a strong identity in Strongsville, but he would not be surprised if some employees were offered relocation packages during the course of business.

Peter CLARKE Has Proposed $283 Million Dollars in Savings Plus Solution for Toronto's TTC Funding
Peter perhaps has also found one solution which would take a majority of the tax burden off the backs of renters, condo owners, homeowners and businesses when it comes to funding for the TTC in addition to his proposes savings of over $283 MILLION.
For a complete breakdown of Clarke's campaign mission platform visit his web site @ www.peterclarketoronto.com
Peter perhaps has also found one solution which would take a majority of the tax burden off the backs of renters, condo owners, homeowners and businesses when it comes to funding for the TTC.
Clarke is not beholding to special interest groups, lobbyists or any political party and is seeking the assistance of both the provincial and federal government, which consists of two different political parties holding power at this time.
What is needed he insists is for the provincial and federal governments to get off their respective CULOS and make a lasting commitment to Public Transit now.
With over 26 provincial and federal sitting members coming from the Toronto area alone the support for Toronto and other cities with Public Transit systems should obviously be there from all parties if they wish to get themselves reelected.
All that is required is to allocate to cities, with existing public transit systems based on populations, a per cent age of the billions of dollars collect annually from both federal and provincial existing gasoline and diesel taxes TODAY, for Public Transit once and for all.
With 6 months left before the elections on October 25/10 Peter is confident that he can come up $325 MILLION dollars in proposed savings for Toronto and North York Ward 23 for 2010 and beyond.
It seems Peter CLARKE is well on his way to achieving that goal for his future constituents with the help of a New Mayor and councillors that have the common sense of the people.
On October 25/10 Torontonians have a decision to make before voting.
Either keep incumbent councillors on council or CHANGE them for the common sense of the people.
As voters footing the bill do you wish to continue reelecting career politicians who have turned public service into a 28 year employment opportunity backed by their lobbyists and special interest groups or take a chance on the future with new ideas and solutions for Toronto's fiscal problems?
Toronto is OUR CITY, YOUR VOTE and OUR FUTURE TOGETHER begins with your victory on October 25, 2010, for our North York Community and Toronto as one united city.
# # #
CLARKE an INDEPENDENT NOT a CAREER Politician or supporter of any political party, special interest group or lobbyists. PETER is your average citizen candidate and answerable only to the people NOT a political party, special interest group or lobbyist

A virtual infrastructure based on honeycomb tessellation for data dissemination in multi-sink mobile wireless sensor networks
Tüysüz Erman, Aysegül and Dilo, Arta and Havinga, Paul (2012) A virtual infrastructure based on honeycomb tessellation for data dissemination in multi-sink mobile wireless sensor networks. EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2012 (17). ISSN 1687-1499
|A new category of intelligent sensor network applications emerges where motion is a fundamental characteristic of the system under consideration. In such applications, sensors are attached to vehicles, or people that move around large geographic areas. For instance, in mission critical applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), sinks can be associated to first responders. In such scenarios, reliable data dissemination of events is very important, as well as the efficiency in handling the mobility of both sinks and event sources. For this kind of applications, reliability means real-time data delivery with a high data delivery ratio. In this article, we propose a virtual infrastructure and a data dissemination protocol exploiting this infrastructure, which considers dynamic conditions of multiple sinks and sources. The architecture consists of `highways' in a honeycomb tessellation, which are the three main diagonals of the honeycomb where the data flow is directed and event data is cached. The highways act as rendezvous regions of the events and queries. Our protocol, namely hexagonal cell-based data dissemination (HexDD), is fault-tolerant, meaning it can bypass routing holes created by imperfect conditions of wireless communication in the network. We analytically evaluate the communication cost and hot region traffic cost of HexDD and compare it with other approaches. Additionally, with extensive simulations, we evaluate the performance of HexDD in terms of data delivery ratio, latency, and energy consumption. We also analyze the hot spot zones of HexDD and other virtual infrastructure based protocols. To overcome the hot region problem in HexDD, we propose to resize the hot regions and evaluate the performance of this method. Simulation results show that our study significantly reduces overall energy consumption while maintaining comparably high data delivery ratio and low latency.

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid" Sucker-Punches the Competition
Making for another tight battle for the top spot, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules" ended up snatching the pole position at the weekend box office from March 25-27, 2011.
The David Bowers directed book-based comedy started a bit slow before enjoying a late surge to pull out the win with an estimated $24 million in earnings.
Not far behind, the Zack Snyder spearheaded fantasy flick "Sucker Punch" starring Vanessa Hudgens finished in second with a box office approximate total of $20 million on its opening weekend of release.
Rounding out the top five films were Bradley Cooper's "Limitless" ($15 million), along with "The Lincoln Lawyer" ($10.5 million) and "Rango" ($10 million).

Fixing An DAP Audio Festival Speaker?
Hi DiyAudio People! My name is Moon, and as sure as i am a doggie on a speaker is this Posted in the wrong section. I'd bet! (: I suck at forums. x)
Ah well! Let me get this to a Point, i recently Bought a Sony STR-DE545 Reciever, A Sony S.A.W Active sub and four Sattelites of a friend for A tiny 20Dollar. (Proud Proud!) I hooked it all up, when i one day at school (where I'm famous for being handy and loving to fix stuff) Was given a DAP Audio Speaker set. two Big "Kind of" Festival, Live performance speakers. I thought those things could go well with my new setup at home, if i could fix them. i took them home and well, the 120w Bass Speaker (subwoofer?) Plays beautifully well. smooth and nice. But the Two horns said like, Nothing? so i only got hard Lined bass from those. Then when i took them apart for closer research, i first found the Piezo's to be "dead." as in stepped on Muffin. (no good Taste!) I then when taking a closer look behind the Woofer where the cables go in, discovered a PCB, With a Yellow (capacitor?) and a Coil, and two other components, on both speakers this though Shows Remarkable big *Fire!* damage! the PCB boards actually took so much fire damage on the one speaker that the board itself had began to bubble? I got a picture right here for you : https://www.dropbox.com/s/jrhspx8xgn...516_223157.jpg
I believe this board is what manages the input, for the Woofer to get its 120w and the Piezo's their 5w or so, Right? Can this board be replaced? Or can i simply Re-solder it with The right parts? And why did this Happen in the first place? Questions Questions, Curious doggies. Somebody tell me?

Uh, yeah, crossovers can be replaced but not usually from the manufacturer. Your location is "in a basket" so I don't know if digikey.com has a warehouse there. If you were in the US I would tell you to buy a crossover board from them. Something like a 2khz inflection point or something. mcmelectronics.com in OH has a few, too. Make sure any crossover assembly you buy has at least a 120 W rating, higher would be better. This crossover has two active elements, an inductor and a capacitor, so it is probably a 12 db/octave one. A 10 v clamp (MOS overvoltage supressor) across the tweeter would be a good aftermarket accessory.
Your capacitor looks good, unusually, but it is 475 value and probably plastic film, which is pretty long lived stuff. The inductor looks suspicious with burns behind it, the 20 W resistor should be measured versus what ever it says (I can't read the value), and the paper board has to go, it is all carbon. There may be something missing, a overvoltage protector possibly, vaporized by somebody's high wattage PA amp, or by amp transistor failure.
If you're somewhere that you can't buy crossovers, you could probably unwind the inductor, repaint the wire with urethane floor varnish, and then wind it up again around a round eraser or a wood dowel. The board I would replace with NEMA LE or CE laminate, but that is also a US sourced part. Most people live in countries supported by farnell.com warehouses, but they don't sell speaker crossovers or LE laminate either. Who knows what you can buy in basket.

If you want to buy a baby Moses, I guess the Special Sale was finished .... huh .... some 4000 years ago.
And unless you live within 3 months on a camel away from the Nile River and can pickup by yourself, freight cost will really hurt.
Now, ..... speaker parts? .... I doubt it

Here goes.
Two components would normally be a 6dB/octave crossover with the inductor (coil) in series with the bass unit and the capacitor (yellow thing) with the HF. However, this is a piezo tweeter which is sort of self crossing over (as it's a purely capacitive load, just about, it doesn't take any current at low frequencies). So that could be just a low pass filter on the bass driver, inductor in series, capacitor across it, and the resistors stepping down the rather nasty tweeter.
Now, it looks to me as if the resistors have been cooking, while the inductor is fine. This is supported by the fact the bass diver is still functioning. Good; getting power resistors is a whole lot easier than specific value inductors. I suspect the amplifier driving them went into radio frequency oscillation, as that much high frequency audio would have been extremely unpleasant.
Before ordering up new components, take your multimeter and put it across the terminals of the piezo tweeter (disconnecting it from the crossover first, no need to complicate matters). It shouldn't read a resistance but it should make a click (actually, if your multimeter is digital, put a battery across the terminals, but only because it's a piezo). You could also connect the tweeter across a headphone output, to see if you can hear music from it. If it doesn't click, you're going to need a new tweeter, and now is the moment when you have to decide whether to get a new piezo or something that sounds decent.
I would normally expect the tweeter to burn out under these conditions, but seeing that the 8.2 ohm 20 watt resistor seems to have cracked from the heat and it would presumably only have been taking enough current to do that if the tweeter were still working, so perhaps the nasty little b has survived. In which case, you only need to replace the resistors. Two each of 8.2 ohms 20 watt and 4.7 ohms 5 watt (I don't think it's worth getting higher power ratings; I'm convinced the amp was faulty). Take the crossover board off, and follow the circuit; if it seems the resistors are in series with the tweeter, and the other components associated with the bass driver, we're fine. If not, take a picture of the other side of the board and post it (nice trick with the drop box, by the way; how to you find its URL?).
Now, we're not even going to replace the board. If, as I suspect, the big resistor is in series with the tweeter and the smaller one in parallel to ground we'll need three brass screws screwed partially into the particle board of the cabinet, spaced for the big and little resistors (it was easier when they were hollow and you could just put the screw down the middle), spaced for the resistors. then we find something heat proof to put between the resistors and the cabinet (but they don't normally run too hot; the fact they used a nylon cable tie indicates this.) a piece of metal would be fine, as long as it doesn't short to the screws) Wind the resistor legs round the screws, move the wires from the board to the equivalent point on the bodged circuit, stick the resistor to the plate and the plate to the cabinet with high temperature adhesive, and solder all the joints carefully;it's going to need a lot of heat.
If you choose to put a decent tweeter in, come back and we'll look into getting a full crossover.
Hmm, dollars for the surround system? Probably stateside, maybe Australia or Hong Kong…

I don't know as much about these audio things but now where i know what I'm looking for its much easier. I love in Denmark By the way. I'm Sorry for not listing that. I'll see if i can get that replacement part i need here, or i fix myself on Up by ordering the components online and a Matching PCB.
And about the dropbox thing, when you upload an Element you highlight it, seeing an little "Link" icon to the right side of the blue selection. Clicking it gives you an Share with public link. But yes. as Said, ill look into fixing this and report back, thanks for the help people!

I bought an amplifier board off dx.com made a box and connected the speaker to the Subwoofer output, put two sonos Outputs on the rear of my box and it all works flawlessly. its not as Beautiful quality as it was originally but it works. so i like made myself an "kind of" Active Subwoofer out of it instead of fixing it. Problem solved, is the original Speaker box worth keeping guys?

Every component of a properly designed speaker package is important, even the cardboard, holes, and bits of fluff stuffed in the odd corners. Those details smooth out the sound, can give a +- 3 db flat frequency response on a well designed speaker. Any other random collection of parts may cover the same frequency range, but not be as smooth. Peaks and valleys in the frequency curve cause distortions. Glad you like what you came up with. You won't be able to buy exact replacement anything IMHO for an minority brand speaker like this, so don't worry about the keeping the old boxes.

I want to start this blog with this: Yes we are tired, but there are a lot of people in a world of pain and mess. Please donate to the Red Cross and help NY and NJ.
For a multitude of reasons, I am willing to bet a lot of our Painted Ladies' readers are just plain tired. Some of us have been without power for some time; some of us have exhausting jobs and/or home lives. Some of us just don't know how to say no to late night television. I am suffering from some chronic conditions, so for a good part of the day I am a walking zombie.
Mornings are hard. Three days this week I have put my shirt on backwards. The sad part is, I didn't even notice that my shirt was on backwards until late afternoon…each day.
I have been tempted on some days to just say, " No, I am good, I will go without." Of course, then my inner-Liza gives me a talking to and I am putting on the liquid liner. For the worst days I do have an emergency kit. This handy dandy little kit has gotten me through a black out and a multitude of mornings when standing upright is a struggle:
(I am aware that my emergency kit is more make-up than the a good portion of the population owns)
– Cover Girl + Olay Pressed Powder: This can do the job of both a powder and a foundation in a pinch. The texture is creamy and it finishes demi-matte. I love it and I won't ever be without it!
– Cover Girl Line Blast 24 Hours: The felt tip allows me to put this on in the dark
– L'Oreal Voluminous: Makes you look like you actually tried
– Estee Lauder Blush in True Sand- Perfectly neutral and perfect to swipe on your cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose.
– Bobbi Brown Ultra Gloss in Sheer Violet: it is an LE. I know, I suck. The color is near transparent but it just brightens you up!
Now, don't think for ONE MINUTE that I am no longer going full on Manila Luzon. I am as often as I can! Take for instance my Halloween Costume. Nobody knew who I was, so I told them I was the following:
- Pandora Boxx
- Anime girl
- Fat Katy Perry
If you have a few moments, and you are so inclined, fake bottom-lashes are in-sane! Now, I used them in a line under my real lash-line; however, I put a few single lashes on the outer-corner of my friend's eye, and the effect was stunning.
I would also like to thank Sheila for sending me the AMAZING half-lashes that she reviewed here. Half lashes take 3 seconds and give you perfect results! If you are lash-phobic, I HIGHLY recommend the half lashes. I would even recommend half lashes when you are exhausted. They are that quick to apply.
All kidding aside, if any of the Painted Ladies are suffering from chronic pain, chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Auto-immune disorders, or just don't feel all that great, I want to recommend this website: http://naturalfibromyalgiatreatments.com/
Dr. Yen is the REAL DEAL. The website is full of great information and it even has a forum. His blog has helped me so much!
I suggest everyone have an emergency kit for those days when you feel like you've fought crime in your sleep. Remember, choose products that have a lot of pigment and ease of use. Don't fall into the "nude and natural" trap. Go dramatic on ONE feature and add color to another. There is nothing than a sadder than a zombie trying to pull off J-LO.

JEREMY HOBSON: A report in the Wall Street Journal said the recent stress tests on European banks understated the amount of risky debt that banks are still holding. That's where we'll begin our conversation with Juli Niemann, an analyst with Smith, Moore and Co. in St. Louis. Good morning, Juli.
JULI NIEMANN: Good morning, Jeremy.
HOBSON: So some doubt cast on the accuracy of the European stress tests. Is this a surprise to you?
NIEMANN: Well this is an old story because everybody thought that the European stress tests were a little fluffy to begin with. Ours was positively rigorous by comparison. Bottom line is they didn't allow for higher unemployment, sovereign debt default. Everyone knew that, basically, Germany was bankrolling the economic community there. How willing they be to continue on with it? Greece can't pay back their debt in three years when the bailout ends. That's $960 billion that they've already flushed down Europe already. Now Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland and the rest of the Club Med countries, start to follow. They've got huge problems. So they're going to have to start really cranking up interest rates at this point for all those countries.
HOBSON: Well you say ours were rigorous compared to theirs. But are ours in doubt now?
NIEMANN: No they weren't really. Bottom line is what we're looking at is it didn't allow for economic conditions that didn't recover. My argument all the way along has been that we're not out of this recession by a long stretch. In fact, it would be an official double-dip recession if we saw sovereign debt default because their banking system would drag us back down again. So we haven't allowed for the probability that unemployment was going to be higher and it is, that our asset base was going to continue to deteriorate, real estate was still going down -- in other words the recession is still not over. We've got to batten down the hatches for round two.
HOBSON: And quickly Juli, we've got the markets down today after several good days on Wall Street. It seemed like the recovery was back on track, now all of a sudden this story in the Wall Street Journal and everything's going south again. Should we have some questions about the future of the recovery in the U.S.?
NIEMANN: Well the market rally was really based on one thing -- there was no other place to put the money. The Fed put interest rates at effectively zero right now. There's little borrowing or lending going on. Real estate, you're lucky if you have a 10-year time horizon if you want to buy that. Gold at $1,200 an ounce. Commodities, only if you believe vigorous growth is about to resume. So by default, stocks have been the place to put the money. But the traders have been moving it from sector to sector. It's quite volatile. That's where the money is and the money will flow back out again. So it's not a real rally.
HOBSON: OK, Juli, thanks so much.
NIEMANN: You bet.
HOBSON: Juli Niemann, an analyst at Smith, Moore and Co. in St. Louis.

What draws a mosquito to bite its host has long been studied from the perspective of the victim—uncovering which smells and chemicals lure the insect in. But researchers at Rockefeller's Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior, headed by Robin Chemers Neustein Professor Leslie Vosshall, are aiming instead to get inside the perpetrator's mind. Or rather, its genome.
Recent research led by a postdoc in the lab, Matthew DeGennaro, uses a genetically modified mosquito to show that a specific gene called orco gives the insects a strong preference for humans over other mammals, and that the insect repellant DEET uses this pathway to deter mosquitoes from biting.

The size of Bob Bradley's 33-man roster for the upcoming US men's team friendlies against England, Spain and Argentina has got Ives Galarcep wondering who will step up for the U.S. on the road to qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. Although he calls the pool "the deepest collection of talent" a U.S. coach has ever been able to call on, "it also is a group loaded with question marks."
Veterans such as Frankie Hejduk, Eddie Lewis and Pablo Mastroeni will all likely play a role in qualifying for South Africa, but some of the fringe players in the pool are "compelling
and intriguing." Jozy Altidore was an obvious choice, but how much will he be used in the coming games with concerns about fatigue after a busy year? Kenny Cooper of FC Dallas boasts the
"combination of size, technical and finishing ability make him a future national team fixture," but needs to show he can handle the pace of the international game. In-form Robbie Rogers could fill
the outside left position where the U.S. lacks depth and consistency, while Michael Orozco, unknown at home until the U-23 qualifying tournament, "has established himself as a regular starter in
the Mexican First Division and looks like a bright center back prospect for the future."
There are question marks too around the ability of players such as Nate Jaqua, Heath Pearce
and Eddie Johnson to step up consistently. And last but not least, Freddy Adu -- after turning in a stellar performance during the Olympic qualifiers, he returned to Benfica to be rewarded with no
playing in the ensuing three months. Galarcep assesses Adu as "perhaps a super-sub type of player for the national team at the moment, which is something Bradley will need down the road in
situations like tough World Cup qualifiers."

Transmission clicking, jerk and shudder
hi folks, since I took delivery of my 14 Ltd, I am able to feel a jerk whenever I shift from park/drive/Neutral to Reverse... I searched and found that it is reported in earlier models as well. The jerk comes even after the engine has warmed up and is not in the initial high RPM's... I also hear a clicking noise when I shift.. Is that normal? Lastly, I am also experiencing the odd "shudder" when it feels as if enough fuel is not flowing to the engine and it takes a second to feel the acceleration...This is in ECO mode. Yet to experience it in SPORT. I am taking mine in to the dealership tomorrow... Anyone else facing this on their 2014 WK2s? l
Re: Transmission clicking, jerk and shudder
I noticed on mine 14 summit, the same off "shudder" in sport mode when I'm coming to a stop, like it was late getting back to 1st gear, I can feel on my break pedal as I'm stopping... that's the only weirdness I have right now, no issues on regular Drive mode or to shift from P, to N, R, D...
Re: Transmission clicking, jerk and shudder
I too feel like there is a very slight lurch when putting in to Drive - feels like the transmission is just engaging. My problem is a really rough 1st to 2nd gear shift. Not so much under strong acceleration but more apparent if I need to let off gas around the shift to 2nd gear. Feels like the car is getting kicked in the rear - not very refined feeling for a 40K plus suv. Anyone else having this issue?
Re: Transmission clicking, jerk and shudder
I have the 2012 Laredo V6 and it drives very inconsistently. One day it will be driving smooth and the next day I can be pushing the gas and it revs up but doesn't accelerate fast at all. Only after pushing the gas for a good amount of time it shifts gears and accelerates. Also I notice some harsh shifts in gears especially between 20-30mph
Re: Transmission clicking, jerk and shudder
I just went over 30,000 miles I had the malfunction light come on once and I didn't notice any issues. Brought it to the dealership and all they did was some computer update and it was fine after that. The light came on around 15,000. Just under 10,000 I had a scary experience when I was driving on the highway and the transmission shifted into Neutral I had to pull over and restart the truck. Thankfully that only happened once. Other than that It has been problem free the only thing I dislike is it's inconsistency in performance. If there is anyone out there that has fixed the issue with the poor acceleration almost feels like the transmission is confused please answer I would love to hear what you guys did!
Edit: never mind, didn't notice you had a 12
Re: Transmission clicking, jerk and shudder
I honestly think the 11 and 12 are the same wouldn't be surprised if they have the same problem... It only happened once I'm not too worried about it. I have more interest in the inconsistency in performance

Greenville man dies in crash that leaves two others seriously injured
EUREKA TOWNSHIP — One person has died from injuries sustained in a Wednesday evening crash on M-91, which left two others seriously injured.
The head-on collision happened around 5:40 p.m. Wednesday on M-91 south of Snows Lake Road and north of the Greenbriar Estates Mobile Home Park.
"This was a very serious accident with very serious injuries," said Greenville Department of Public Safety Director Mike Pousack.
The vehicles included a blue Ford F-150 custom pickup truck, driven by Philip Albert of Belding, and a sky blue Ford Freestar van containing driver Kenneth Wheelock and Athalie Wheelock both of Greenville.
Albert and Kenneth Wheelock were pinned in and had to be extricated from their vehicles.
Athalie Wheelock and Albert were transported to Spectrum Health United Hospital in Greenville while Kenneth Wheelock was transported by AeroMed to a Grand Rapids hospital from the Greenville Municipal Airport, where he died from his injuries.
According to Michigan State Police Lakeview Post Trooper Pat Agema, the accident appears to have been caused by a "vehicle malfunction."
"It appears the front left tire of the pickup blew as it was traveling northbound on M-91," he said. "The vehicle then veered into the southbound lane where it struck the oncoming van head-on."
John Newman, who lives at the Greenbriar Estates Mobile Home Park, said he was the second person on the scene and immediately grabbed his cell phone to call 911 when he heard the accident.
"I was on the other side of the trailer park and as soon as I heard the noise, I knew what had happened," Newman said. "I knew there was a bad accident."
Newman said he "took off running" toward the accident just north of the mobile home park to help in any way he could.
"Somebody was standing in the road talking to the guy in the truck," he said. "Once I knew he was OK, I ran over to the van. There was an older gentleman in the driver's seat. I picked his head up a little bit and tried to coach him through everything."
Newman said the man asked for help several times and Newman repeatedly told him to remain calm until emergency personal arrived.
Newman said the man's leg was jammed in the driver's side door.
"I was with him for about 25 minutes," he said. "Then they were able to get him out of the vehicle with the Jaws of Life."
Though beer cans were among several items of debris at the scene, Agema said alcohol "was not likely" a factor citing that the cans appeared to be from an older date.
"We won't know for sure until we investigate further, but at this time it does not appear that alcohol or speeding was a factor in this accident," Agema said.
All three passengers were wearing seatbelts.
M-91 was closed for several hours while investigators were called in.
The Michigan State Police Lakeview Post handled the scene and received assistance from the Greenville Department of Public Safety, Belding Fire Department, Belding Police Department and Emergency Medical Services.
The Michigan State Police will continue to investigate the incident.

Can Georgia's Mysterious Monument Help the Local Economy?
Just 90 minutes outside Atlanta, the town of Elberton, GA is home to a mysterious monument: The Georgia Guidestones.
The stones consist of two massive granite slabs weighing more than 100 tons, which an anonymous donor paid to have engraved with a few words of advice: Guidelines in eight languages for how to rebuild society after a nuclear attack.
The 30-some-year-old Guidestones are no hidden secret, as evidenced by the tens of thousands of YouTube videos about them (see one below).
Seeing all the online chatter about his hometown's monument gave local businessman Mart Clamp an idea. Clamp, who helped his father engrave the stones more than three decades ago, is hoping to use them to revitalize Elberton's flagging economy.
He's hoping to draw tourists to visit the stones in an annual festival that could give a must-needed boost to Elberton. He joins The Takeaway to discuss the stones and his efforts.
Here are the ten instructions, appearing in eight modern languages, that don the stones:
- Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
- Guide reproduction wisely—improving fitness and diversity.
- Unite humanity with a living new language.
- Rule passion—faith—tradition—and all things with tempered reason.
- Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
- Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
- Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
- Balance personal rights with social duties.
- Prize truth—beauty—love—seeking harmony with the infinite.
- Be not a cancer on the earth—Leave room for nature—Leave room for nature.

How-To: Remove 05 Duratec alternator from above
OK, when I my alternator died, I read that everyone had to invite a friend over to help them lever the motor out of the way so the alternator would come out. Well, I have a problem, I don't have any friends. Really, even beer doesn't help- they just puke, or hate me anyway. I have to go it alone. So maybe you know someone in a similar situation, or maybe you are in a similar situation. Maybe you just don't want to buy any beer for your freeloading cheap ass friends who would only have to pull back on a pry bar for a few minutes while you do all the work. Regardless, here's how to go it alone.
E8 torx female socket.
Flex head ratchet
3/8 and 1/4 ratchet
Stubby ratchets
15, 13, 10, 8, 7 mm sockets and some in wrenches.
Jack stand
Wheel chocks
Stuff like that
This is mostly a picture story, and most of it is fairly self explanatory.
A daunting task indeed. Oh well, remove the negative cable and get started.
You'll have to remove the coolant reservoir, power steering reservoir and it's bracket, the noise suppressor and it's bracket, the purge valve and it's bracket, and remove
the bolts in the upper exhaust heat shield.
Yes the purge valve lines are just like the fuel lines- press the clip on it's flat side until it clicks and pull it off.
The purge valve is held on by a simple clip on the back side.
That's all the bolts that hold the upper exhaust heat shield and the 2 that hold the purge valve/fuel line bracket. Yes, it's 8 bolts on the heat shield. 2 long ones (the rusted 2) at the top, 3 in the center, and 3 at the bottom. If Ford hadn't put this handy small bolt holder up there- I'd probably ditch them completely for how hard this alternator job is. Thank goodness it lasted 140k miles!!
Removing this helps free up the fuel line so it's not so hard to move back. You'll also have to remove the serpentine belt cover after jacking the vehicle- there are 2 bolts- one under the headlight, and one in the center.
If you're not a complete goof, you'll draw out your serpentine belt routing before you remove it. Yeah, I know, manuals- right. Some have them, some don't, but even if you do- this might keep you from having to look at it later.
If you're having trouble removing the serpentine belt, then you're probably not holding your mouth right. I found it was easiest to use a 15mm open end of a wrench to rotate the bolt on the tensioner to the right while sliding the belt off the water pump pulley.
Well, I guess it's time to start removing the alternator.... mmmmm flex ratchet= fewer hand cuts.
To remove the alternator, you're going to want to remove the vent from the back of the alternator. You won't be able to remove the nut on the hot wire any other way. On my alternator, there is one 13mm bolt that holds the whole vent assembly to the alternator- although it's 2 parts. I was unable to separate the two parts while it was in the vehicle. It might help getting access to the bolt by removing the upper alternator stud completely with the E8 torx socket, and the lower bolt so that you can tilt the alternator forward like this.
To remove the stud you'll need that E8 torx socket I mentioned in the tools list. That's really the reason I wrote the tools list, and it's the only special tool you'll really need.
This pic is from when I put it back in, but you can see how not having the vent gives you the access you need to the main hot wire bolt, and plug-in connector.
Here's the evil vent, if you look closely you'll see that I broke the clip on one side that connects to the snout. It still connects just fine with only one clip. I had real difficulty removing the snout with just one clip- even out of the vehicle. Now you might be thinking- why the vent? Well electricity and heat go together like celebs and marriage. If you didn't put it back in, then the voltage regulator would probably die off a lot sooner. That's why I broke it apart into 2 pieces. I had to install the back side with the alternator in the vehicle. I wasn't able to put it in there with it on.
OK so now the evil vent is gone, remove the alternator from the remaining stud. Push the exhaust shield out of the way, and pull the alternator out just like this.
I know, it doesn't look like it but there is just enough room there. Maybe later models have a heat shield that is easier to remove- I don't know. Mine is like the one that ST's have, the manifold is tubular not cast, and honestly I don't know how to remove the heat shield without removing the mani-cat also.
There you have it- the impossible alternator removal from the top without schmoozing buddies with no beer money.
Be sure to clean your main hot contact points on the alternator and the wire before re-installing. I was torn about putting blue thread lock or anti-seize on the upper stud. The studs aren't zinc galvanized, so the steel will bite (actually galvanize) into the aluminum, so that means anti-seize. Yet, you don't want it tight or it will get stuck- so that's thread lock. I settled on anti-seize and about 20 ft-lbs which is more than it had on it when I removed it.I'll update the thread if that doesn't last as long as the alternator. Now you could use a little AS on the bottom threads, and BTL on the top few.
If you don't like that, get some friends (and beer).
(yeah I know the vc is leaking, that and the o2 are next week- my back hurts I'm old and I want to fart now)

CNA Financial Looking Fiscally Sharp Richard McCaffery (TMF Gibson)
November 3, 1999
Commercial and consumer property and casualty insurance company CNA Financial (NYSE: CNA) posted net income of $29 million, or $0.15 per share for the third quarter, a serious turnaround from a net loss of $14 million, or $0.09 per share, a year ago as cost cutting and restructuring efforts take hold.
Net operating income increased to $82 million, or $0.82 per share, up from a loss of $68 million, or $0.39 per share a year ago.
The results, which included $78 million in catastrophe charges thanks to the storm services of Hurricane Floyd and $10 million in restructuring charges, are largely the result of underwriting discipline, expense reduction, and better operating performance, said Bernard Hengesbaugh, CNA's chairman and chief executive officer.
This should be music to shareholder's ears. Consider that Warren Buffet assembled a major part of his fortune investing in insurance companies that "maintained underwriting discipline," a fancy way of saying he took positions in companies smart enough not to underwrite policies at a loss just to bolster premiums in the short term.
Since there are about 3,400 companies that sell property/casualty insurance, and about 1,600 companies that sell life insurance in the United States alone, it makes sense for companies to pick their spots rather than try and compete on a cost basis with everyone. This is what CNA has tried to do in the last year, after watching net income plunge to $282 million in 1998 from $966 million in 1997.
Last year, the company exited the agriculture insurance business and some areas of the employer health insurance business because carriers had driven prices below levels at which a reasonable return could be expected. Early this year, CNA left the entertainment insurance business, and in October it sold its personal insurance business to Allstate. It's now focusing on its core property/casualty, commercial insurance and life insurance businesses.
CNA's return on average shareholder's equity, which tells investors how well the company's assets are being deployed by management, fell to 3.2% last year, a far cry from the previous three years when ROE averaged 13.3%.
Now, it's hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison in this quarter because the most recent balance sheet isn't available, and income is fluctuating as the company cuts costs and divests businesses. But if you annualize CNA's Q2 income and divide by shareholder's equity you get 7%, which gives you a strong sense the company is moving in the right direction.
Hengesbaugh, who took over in early 1999, is committed to improving operating results quarter by quarter, which seems to be the kind of blocking and tackling approach the company needs. CNA expects to save $300 million in annual pretax costs as a result of its restructuring plan.
It's currently trading at a 30% discount to book value and at less than 1x sales. At these prices it's worth a thorough examination. Consider that competitor American International Group (NYSE: AIG) -- which has grown net income impressively for at least the last three years -- trades at nearly 4x book value and more than 4x sales.

Guest Blog: Perla Ni, GreatNonprofits
December 8, 2009
This morning, we're thrilled to host Perla Ni, former publisher of the the Stanford Social Innovation Review and founder of GreatNonprofits on our blog! She's writes today about our partnership to promote awareness of great organizations benefiting the poor and homeless.
GreatNonprofits and the National Alliance to End Homelessness Team Up for Hunger and Homelessness Awareness
When Hurricane Katrina hit, I was the publisher of the Stanford Social Innovation Review, and we wanted to write a story about how nonprofits were helping the victims. Even though we had access to far more information than the ordinary donor or volunteer, we found it difficult to find out which nonprofits were doing a good job of helping those in need.
We only started to get a clearer understanding of which nonprofits were actually rising to the challenge when our former managing editor, David Weir, flew out to Biloxi, Miss., and walked up and down the streets, asking people which nonprofits had been out there helping them. The locals told him about several excellent small, local nonprofits that provided supplies and help. One guy told him how he had broken his leg and had been living in his car until volunteers from a local nonprofit came and found him and took him to the doctor. The local nonprofit in that case was unknown to the larger world and received little public attention or funding. .
It struck me, as I struggled professionally to find great nonprofits for our magazine to write about, that there needed to be an online Yelp, or Amazon Reviews-type site, where clients, volunteers, donors, and others with first-hand experience with a nonprofit can share their experiences. .
Fast forward two years.
An average of 56,000 people per month are now coming to GreatNonprofits.org (and GuideStar, where the reviews are mutually shared), to write reviews about nonprofits and to find nonprofits based on these reviews.
But we don't consider our job to be done. We know there are still thousands of nonprofits out there doing important work that no one has heard of, and it is our mission to find them and give them, and those involved with them, a voice.
Right now, during the holiday season, we're focusing on nonprofits that provide food or shelter to those in need. Teaming up with the Alliance seemed like a natural thing to do- and we are lucky to have such a great partner for the 2009 Food and Shelter Awards.
The campaign will highlight nonprofits making a difference in this sector and give them exposure to potential donors.
Are you trying to get your stories of impact out to donors and supporters? Well here's a free and easy opportunity. You can encourage your volunteers, clients, and donors, to write reviews about your nonprofit.
If your nonprofit has at least 10 positive reviews (four or five stars), you'll get included on the Top Charities List promoted on GreatNonprofits as well as on GuideStar, the premier site for philanthropic research on the Web.
Plus this is a great opportunity to engage your stakeholders. Your clients, volunteers, donors, and board members who write a review about you are likely to become more ardent supporters. You'll gain powerful, authentic stories of your impact that you can use in your internal and external communication. Your stories of impact will inspire your staff and inspire your supporters. Here some examples of nonprofits and how they've used their reviews:
- North Hills Community Outreach, which provides food to the needy, has seen more online donations after they gathered reviews.
- Project Homeless Connect has used their reviews to recruit more volunteers
- DC Central Kitchen shows its supporters and donors through its reviews that it is committed to transparency.
It's quick and easy to encourage reviews. Send out an email, post it to your Facebook fan or group page, or tweet it out. You can get started at on our website.

About MeIn the past three years I have been nominated as one of the top five hair colorist in North America and Canada for NAHA (North American Hairstyling Awards). Recently because of my past acclamations, a hair color company asked if I would be interested in being their artistic director. My job would entail changing the image of the company via new and modern haircuts and colors. So here I am a year later as the artistic director of a company called Scruples. Attached are some of my creations that have not only helped change the image of the company but also have enabled me to become a recognized name and leader in our industry.

what to tell stylist?
So.. I've been going to a deva stylist for many years and just recently tried to straighten my hair and NO WAY!!! So uneven!!! So, I'm going back to a regular stylist. Problems I have had in the past were two things.... somehow they seem to thin out my already THIN hair and I end up getting the shelf look over time with the layering.
So... what do I have them do so I can have nice curly hair and nice straight hair?
I'm going to a lady who has naturally curly hair but.... she straightens hers all the time. So.... don't know if that is going to help her really understand curly hair or not.
What do I have them do? I have above shoulder length hair when dry and it's fine and thin. I need layers otherwise it weighs down and curls look awful. Right now i've been getting longer layers tho very uneven layers. The curls looks good and they blend nicely but ONLY when curly. And when it's super dry out, I want to straighten it.
Most Deva stylists cut straight hair to so I wonder if you wouldnt do better to go back to her to help you even out the cut. I would worry they would cut too much in trying to even it out. My guess would be it would take a couple cuts to even it out if its very uneven.
My Deva stylist said there is more to the cut than just curl by curl. It was different than what I pictured curl by curl to be.
Maybe I should. OY!!!!! I go back and forth. I am afraid the regular stylist will lop off too much and thin my hair out. I love my curly hair but what a PaIN it is to keep up if you want both straight and curly!!!!!!
I dont know what even I would do now if I chose not to go back to a Deva stylist. I have never been this happy before with a haircut so I cant imagine that a regular stylist would ever make me happy now.
I guess my plan would be to grow my hair out and get some good length on it before letting a non Deva stylist cut it.
I talked with my old stylist where I used to live and this is what she said....
Typically, the way most people do a deva cut, your hair will not look as even straight. The reason for getting the deva cut is to wear it curly.
On my clients who wear it straight and curly, I even pull it out either dry or wet and do a more even cut as well as do a curly dry detail cut. That's just the way I do it though.
So..... I guess it won't look super even with the deva cut. But I have never been happier with my curly hair and I don't want to lose that. So, I'm going back to the deva stylist here and have her hopefully just make it a little better when straight but not lose the really nice curl pattern

Replacement rule limitations
Several responders have told me that replacement rules are the way to
simplify complex expressions and to reduce redundant computations (?).
So let's try an arbitrary expression as a very simple example of
something that could be much more complicated:
exp = 1/Sqrt[
x^2+y^2+z^2] - (x^2+y^2+z^2) + (x^2+y^2+z^2)^(
1/3) /. x^2+y^2+z^2->dd This gives
1/Sqrt[dd] + dd^(1/3)-x^2-y^2-z^2 which is not that useful.
But if I introduce a superfluous multiplier "s":
exp = 1/Sqrt[x^2+y^2+z^2] -
s(x^2+y^2+z^2) + (x^2+y^2+z^2)^(
1/3) /. {x^2+y^2+z^2->dd, s->1} I get
1/Sqrt[dd] + dd^(1/3) - dd which is better. Asking for
exp^2 gives, as desired,
(1/Sqrt[dd] + dd^(1/3) - dd)^2 . But trying to proceed as if this
were regular algebra where cascaded substitutions are routine, I try:
exp/.{x->a^2, y->3b, z->Sqrt[d + e]} , I get the useless result
1/Sqrt[dd] + dd^(1/3) - dd .
Unless I am missing something important (it wouldn't be the first
time!), replacement rules are not a good substitute for real
intermediate variables. This does not even address a feature I'd like to
see in Mathematica in which it would figure out what subexpressions appear
repeatedly and make up its own simplifying intermediate variables. This
could be incorporated into FullSimplify.
Comments will be greatly appreciated.

Jeep Wrangler MW3 Edition. Opinions Please.
Ok..so I have a unique chance to get one of these Jeeps at a good Price (its #941 out of 3500) and My wife (god love her for putting up with a Jeeper) thinks its rediculously stupid and douchebag like to even like it..
Ive explained to her til im :eek: in the face that its not because of the MW3 badges and Logos that I want it...its the config...6 Speed Manual Trans, Tube Bumpers, Winch Kit, Rock Rails, Dual Top, Decent Audio, Blacked out Wheels, Skid Plates 3 Inch Lift (some dealer customization here on top of the package) I Have driven it..and by god it prowls it doesn't drive.. I have priced out Rubi's that match the same specs and it comes in at $47k and she said and I quote Id rather spend that then be embarassed to drive around in a Video Game car..:hide: did I miss something? I know I can take off exterior badges, buy seat covers and replace floor mats...
Yep, you missed something,
she doesn't like it. Remember, if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
unhappy wife= UNHAPPY LIFE
not worth it.
Well...When I spend $47k ...Shes going to hate not getting a ring..
I love being single
Good advice so far.
The man is only the boss of the house so long as the wife is happy. She is truly the boss.
Get the Rubi like she said.
She's telling you to get a Rubicon, you have positioned yourself perfectly.
When the Queen is happy, the laaaaand is happy. True dat.
Video game car! Ha ha!! Well, I think the MW3 Jeep is a very nice package but she has a point. Anyone know when the new version of Call of Duty is coming out? Is jeep going to offer a version update retrofit? Lol! "Hey man, how come your Jeep is 3 versions behind"?
What's the point of buying a Jeep you don't want to do ANYTHING to? I mean half the fun is the modding man!! So buy a Rubi and then mod the heck out of it...that should make her REALLY happy.
Its on the Grab Handle of the Passenger Side. Since its Limited ED, they Labeled them all.
Oh there will be Mod's ...Im just getting a Headstart for a Hell of a deal!
i actually quite like the MW3 (not for the labels, but for the actual package) especially, if like me, you dont have as much time on your hands to mod the heck out of a car anymore. that and the whole package is covered by Jeep factory warranty.
Outa the box, its hard to beat : D
That the first I'd heard of them being numbered and the first numbered editions since the Sahara Rubicon in '05.
I love it...it even has the dual top group, the hard top will get winched off the first day of april and go on with the first snow...game on..(plus my current wrangler still does not have heat) which makes the MW3 look even better regardless of price.

Listen to your wife.
I would get a regular Rubicon and then buy your own parts for it [bumpers, lift etc]. You will probably save in the end going that route.
I'm a wife of a 41 year old gamer! And you know what I tell people who have anything to say about it. He could be into worse hobbies! He could be out every night drinking or who knows what else. He is a HARD worker and if he wants to lay around and game on the weekends I'll be there next to him telling him when someone's behind him trying to get him lol.
Back to the car... If you're a hard worker and If you want it get it! I do think the perks on it are awesome but it's also fun customizing yourself.
I was in a similar situation when I got my jeep. My wife agreed that mango tango is hands down the best color ever, and didn't mind me having to fly to another state just to buy it. However, I failed to disclose the fact that it came with the chrome package (I didn't want it, but I was willing to put up with it for the mango). Needless to say, we've replaced almost all of the chrome. However I still have the grill. At least once a day, she badgers me about it, and I keep seeing her on the mopar site looking up prices, calling around to auto body shops for quotes on getting a new one painted. Seriously, she will not give up on it. She really really hates chrome.
So I don't know if my story helps or hurts you. But trust me when I say, if your woman says she doesn't like it, she will try her damnedest to make sure you are not happy with it either.
There must be a psychological term for requesting the unobtainable and then using that as a wedge to get complete buy in for the still expensive discretionary purchase, you masterfully got permission to get a Rubicon, go with it
I bought one. I love it, the bumpers, black wheels, rock rails, and I can honestly say the leather/cloth seats in the MW3 are way more comfy than the other leather or cloth wranglers. Don't know why, I feel like I sink in a little more and I feel like the seats hold me a little better.
When I priced it all out it made sense for me. I personally like the bumpers, mine is DD so I wanted some mods without going overboard. Sure would I love a 3.5" lift with 35s? Absolutely, but for the 70 miles/day I drive I couldn't justify doing that. I've had mine for just about 3 weeks and already have 1300 miles on it. It's really a personal preference and if you have the ability and time to install some of the mods yourself.
When the money is there I plan on doing a 2" AEV spacer lift w/33" duratracs since everybody on here raves about them. Again it's my DD, but I do want to do some offroading in the future and that setup would probably give me what I am looking for. I wouldn't have figured that out though without the forum members chiming in on every lift wheel/tire thread.
I agree with the above sentiments. Get the Rubi and slowly build it into the stuff you love about the MW3 edition. You'll end up saving a lot of money (and grief) doing it that way.

i just bought some new lube....I can't wait to clean my EDC :danceban:
I don't mind it to like it for the piece and quite. No one botthers me when I am cleaning my guns. However, my wife make me do it outside since the Hoppes #9 smell makes it hard to breathe for her (asthma). I live in Houston, TX, so in the summer, when I clean my guns on the back porch, my hands get so sweaty, that I can't I can barely hold on to the parts I am trying to clean let alone constantly getting the cleaned parts wet with my sweat.
The best time to clean a gun (or sharpen your knives) is when your daughter brings her new boyfriend home.
As far as do I enjoy cleaning, I kind of dread it in a way, but once I get into it I do enjoy it.
Anyone ever try Sweet Shooter? Best bore treatment ever. I swear by it. On my 4th can!!!! NO more copper fouling!!!!!
Tecrolan: Main2
I hate it - but I think that's because I'm new to it all. I've only had my current gun a couple months and yesterday was the first time I disassembled it without looking at the downloaded manual in ibooks. With time and practice I'm sure I'll get better at it, but I don't think I'll like it any more. Then again - I hate cleaning ANYTHING lol so it's not suprising I don't enjoy this either.
Nope...I don't like it but I clean my gun/guns EVERY time I shoot. I'm thinking about throwing the HK in the dishwasher...
If I don't break them down I do run a patch thru the barrel and give the works a quick swab. I haven't gotten up the nerve to break down my P89 yet. Scared I won't be able to get it back together.
A quick solution to cleaning semi's and wheelguns is to drop the barrel and cylinder into the ultrasonic for a bit and loosen the junk before you start. The powder residue on the heel of the cylinder sucks getting clean. I do enjoy cleaning my guns. My life might very well depend on it.
I clean my guns after each outing and sometimes in between. If I am going to count on my gun to keep me and my family alive and safe I want to know I've done everthing I can to keep it in good working order. Besides the Army training in me won't let me shoot a dirty gun....
Cleaning your gun has two functions. 1. It cleans the gun. 2. It requires you to disassemble and reassemble the gun.
Both functions are important. Especially with a weapon like a Ruger Mk II, the process can be tricky, it's something you might forget. The practice is worthwhile.
Beyond that, the meditation space is a plus. You get to bring out your cleaning tools, arrange them, and perform the task at your own pace and desired level of care. You get to review safety procedures, and consider your own methodology of safe handling.
Finally, when done, you wipe everything down and have confidence in your weapons. Can't imagine why anybody would dislike this aspect of being a gun owner.
Sometimes I think I spent 25% of my life cleaning weapons. No I do not enjoy it just something you live with. Some weapons do not require the cleaning they get. Good AR's only need a barrel cleaned every 500 rounds with good ammo and many experts say you do more damage cleaning them to often than firing them.
I wish the old drill Sgt had heard that. Modern ammo is not what it use to be. My Gas piston AR's really stay clean compared to DI.
I do not clean my Hand guns after every use only if it was heavy use or it will be a while before it is used again.
I been around long enough to have lived with corrosive ammo. We cleaned weapon after firing first in barrels of hot soapy water then clean rinse dry CLP cleaning.
Then we cleaned them everyday for 3 days after. If there was any kind of inspection or change of command coming we cleaned them again. Then back to the range and it started all over.
