Jackmans a jackass but the boy and his bot got real heart.
By Turino (40 reviews) from Bracknell , 13 Oct 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
Its commendable how much of a douchebag a Hollywood star like Jackman is willing to play here. Ok, so there are no points for guessing if Jackmans down on his luck robot boxing promoter Charlie is going to change his ways by the end of the movie. But for a good forty minutes of the film, youll probably find yourself wondering how the hell the director, screenwriter and star are going to make a single audience member give an ounce of sympathy for this most unsympathetic of schmuks.
But in good old Rocky style, you will undoubtedly be cheering on the underdog when it comes to the David vs Goliath robot boxing match that is the climax of the film.
The central relationship between Charlie and his estranged son Max is believable as is the setting of the not-too distant or unfamiliar future. Kids still have daddy issues (especially kids who have dads like Charlie) and all that seems to have changed is that robot boxing is the sport of the future.
The robots are a brilliantly seamless blend of puppetry and CG effects and when Max discovers a battered boxing droid discarded (as he once was by his own jackass dad), the plot kicks into motion.
Its an enjoyable but predictable ride with Dakota Goyo impressive as the justifiably antsy kid. Jackman carries the film with his detestable Dad and a surprisingly convincing character arc. Losts Freckles (Evangeline Lilly) is wasted in a very similar way to her recent cameo in The Hurt Locker. She needs to find a new agent that wont leave her cheering on the action from the side lines.
The robot fights are realistically rendered but its the father-son relationship that makes this film the real deal. Great for families. Its out 14th October.- Was this review helpful to you?

Better than expected!
By GingerJam (5 reviews) , 03 Aug 2013I wasn't expecting a lot from this film even though I love Hugh Jackman, but was very pleasantly surprised. It had a lot more heart than I thought it would. Hugh Jackman was very convincing as an idiot that turns good and Lily Evangaline is just a great, very underrated, actress. Brilliant!- Was this review helpful to you?

Great MixerThis review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer Red Pros: I've known people who have had these mixers for 20 + years. Great product Cons: Price. But quality isn't cheap. Did you find this review helpful? |
Professional cookThis review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSCV Artisan Tilt-Head 5-Quart Stand Mixer Caviar Pros: This is the best stand mixer I have ever used for my home kitchen! The mixer is easy to use and clean and is very versatile. I love the fact that other attachments can be purchased for cheese grating, meat grinding, etc...I cook for a small Fraternity and purchased one for there as well. The price I paid on New-egg for 2 of these was cheaper than buying just one anywhere else that I researched. Cons: I should have bought more as gifts! Other Thoughts: I love shopping Newegg because of their prices and quality of products. I have yet to find a better site for such a multitude of products at such great prices!

AmaZingThis review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSCV Artisan Tilt-Head 5-Quart Stand Mixer Caviar Pros: Durability, Great customer support, Versatile, Loads of color selection, Hub Attachments fit all KA mixers, Huge selection of attachments. Cons: Not really much of a con since you get what you pay for but this unit and the attachments are all pretty pricey. Other Thoughts: We primarily use our for mixing bread. It has saved soooo much time! Effortless!! Did you find this review helpful? |
Best tool in your kitchen, ENDLESS possibilites.This review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSCV Artisan Tilt-Head 5-Quart Stand Mixer Caviar Pros: You'll find this to be a highly rated mixer everywhere. It is absolutely wonderful and has attachments available to do everything you could ever dream. Very powerful, very fast. Capable to do just about everything you usually do manually in the kitchen except blend smoothies, make toast, and wash dishes. Cons: No cons on this unit itself. I just wish that some of the attachments used more metal than they do plastic. The nice, all-metal attachments can be a bit pricey. I've spent WAY more on attachments for this unit than I did on the unit itself, but each attachment works splendidly and they are all well worth the cost. Other Thoughts: Got this for the female unit for Christmas. She now has every single attachment made for it and uses this thing daily for everything from shredding cheese, slicing veggies, and making purees, to baking cakes and making homemade pasta and homemade ice cream (WOW). I use it to grind meat and make little sausages. The meat grinding attachment is also excellent to toss beans, gluten, and other stuff into to make vegetarian patties out of. ENDLESS possibilities Did you find this review helpful? |
DOAThis review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSGA Artisan Tilt-Head 5-Quart Stand Mixer Green Apple Pros: Looks nice. Cons: Made insane grinding noise and shot sparks out the side. Other Thoughts: I'll change this review if and when my return arrives. I know Kitchenaid from years of using their products that this doesn't happen very often. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great Mixer!This review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSSM Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer Silver Metallic Pros: This mixer is awesome. I used my mom's for years that she got as a wedding gift in the 80's I think. Still runs and never had a problem with hers so I finally broke down and bought one of my own. Don't let the price deter you. This thing will last 5 lifespans of those awful hand mixers, is more powerful and versatile and the mounted bowl makes things much easier and cleaner than hoping ur mixing bowl doesn't go sliding off the counter when mixing something. This color is really nice, I get lots of compliments about it. Newegg shipping was super fast as always. Cons: I do wish its lowest speed was just a tad bit slower, but that's just a personal preference. Other Thoughts: I don't know what this other reviewer is talking about with the gift card. I got my gift card code before I even got the mixer (since I had to wait the weekend for UPS). It came in on a Sunday evening actually. I have already spent it as well... I need to stay off of this website! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great product but NewEgg Lies about $10.00 gift cardThis review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer Red Pros: This mixer is great! Don't let the one egg review deter you from buying this mixer. I would, however, recommend buying this elsewhere. Cons: NewEgg lies about gift card. I've contacted them through this website and called them on the phone a week later. I received no response from my web form entry. The person on the phone said that they were re-sending the code. It never arrived. Other Thoughts: I've been a NewEgg customer for many years. I've usually received nothing but the best service from them. I find it strange that they would decide to lose a customer over a silly $10 coupon. 2 out of 13 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Power MixerThis review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSMC Artisan 325-Watt 5-Quart Stand Mixer (Metallic Chrome) Pros: Looks like the mixer Martha uses on TV, but it's the smaller model and has a bowl cover. Makes quick work of cookie batter and it's easy to add ingrediants when mixing. Powers through dry mixes. Cons: Additional attachments are pricey and it comes with only one bowl. Other Thoughts: Made a cheese cake receipe easy and a well-mixed cake bakes more uniformly in the oven. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

SAN JOSE, Calif- It took massive amounts of resources to fight a lumber yard fire Tuesday that burned at the large business on Monterey Highway between San Jose and Morgan Hill.
A thick plume of black smoke formed over San Jose this morning, as the fire ripped through the lumber yard. It took 60 firefighters about 45 minutes to fully contain this blaze. Also, six water tenders rushed to the scene.
Two buildings on the yard were destroyed, a vehicle and an additional building was badly damaged.
The Santa Clara County Fire Marshal Chief Officer said when the business opened in 1970, rules were different. The agreement made back then said the business had to have a wharf hydrant on site, have a stand pipe with a hose, and several fire extinguishers on the property.
The county said today's fire code would never allow a business like that to operate without a working hydrant nearby.
No word on the cause.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
I Samuel - Chapter 1
Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom
Elkanah's Wives, Chana and Peninah
There was a man named Elkanah, who was Levite from Mt. Ephraim. Elkanah had two wives; Chana (Hannah) had no children, but Penina did. When Elkanah would bring a sacrifice, he would always give Chana an extra portion, but it was small consolation. Peninah would make snide comments that only made Chana feel worse.
Chana was at the Mishkan (Tabernacle) in Shiloh and she prayed to Hashem from the pain in her soul. She said that if Hashem gave her a son, he would be dedicated to Hashem all his life as a Nazirite (like Samson). Eli, the Kohein Gadol (High Priest) saw Chana praying. She was crying and moving her lips, but not making any sounds, so he thought she was drunk. Chana disabused him of this notion, so he blessed her that G-d should grant her prayer.
Soon after, Chana conceived and had a son, whom they named Shmuel (Samuel), meaning "requested from G-d." When the child was weaned, she brought him to the Tabernacle in Shiloh and reminded Eli of what had transpired, as well as that the child was dedicated to the service of G-d.
This chapter, which is read as the Haftarah on the first day of Rosh Hashana, is well known and full of meaningful lessons. We'll share just one here: Peninah was a righteous woman, who intentionally provoked the childless Chana in order to motivate her to prayer. Even though it worked, Peninah was still punished severely for her insensitive behavior. Pure motivations do not excuse cruel means.
A short Insight into I Samuel, Chapter 1
As we begin Sefer Shmuel, we learn an important lesson about mitzvos bein adam l'chaveiro, interpersonal mitzvos. After we learn that Elkanah had two wives, Penina who had children and Chana who did not have any children, we find that Elkanah had a special love for Chana.However, at first glance it seems that Penina did not treat Chana with the utmost of respect. Verse six, as understood by Metzudas Dovid, reveals, "Her rival (Penina) provoked her (Chana) again and again 'ba'avur ha'r'ima' - 'in order to irritate her', for Hashem had closed her womb."
However, Rashi brings a second explanation. "Our Rabbis say that 'ba'avur ha'r'ima' means 'in order to cry out in prayer.'"
According to our Rabbis, Penina's intention was purely l'sheim shamayim, for the sake of heaven. By irritating Chana, Penina hoped to prompt Chana into prayer – more fervent tefilla - that might result in a child.
Nonetheless, Chazal teach us that as a result of the pain that Penina caused Chana, Penina lost her children.
Rabbi Chaim Shmulevitz (Sichos Mussar 31, 24) explains that with regard to interpersonal sins good intentions do not matter - even if the intent was l'sheim shamayim. As we see that Penina, despite her pure intentions, was punished with the deaths of all of her children for the hurt that she caused Penina.
Rabbi Shmulevitz emphasizes that undoubtedly a righteous women like Penina found it very difficult to put Chana through this agony. Without question, he adds, she was only trying to prompt Chana to dig deeper in her prayers to elicit a child from Hashem. Nonetheless, the punishment for hurting another human being is great. Just like someone who sticks his hand into a oven will be burned, so too, a person who causes pain to another must face the consequences.
Hashem views us as His children. If His child is being bullied, Hashem will not stand by idly.

08/24/2012 - user3600691Bought a Single Family home in 2012 in Port Arthur, TX.
Jill really did an amazing job for us! My husband and I are in our early 20's and we wanted to buy our first home. We started out the process having ZERO knowledge about buying a home. Jill told us not to worry and that she would be with us every step of the way. The first home we looked at was fabulous on the outside but ended up being horrible on the inside. Jill could tell in our faces that it wasn't "the one" and she said that wouldn't want to sell it to us anyways because of all the problems that came with it. She really looked out for us. We ended up finding the perfect house in another town and on Christmas Eve Jill went in to work so we could begin the paperwork. She was so excited for us! Throughout the process we came across a few problems (none whatsoever that had to do Jill) and I can say she LITERALLY cried with us. She fought on our behalf and everything ended up turning out perfectly. She was with us from beginning to very end and even called us after we moved in to see how things were going in our new home. I do not give out five stars very much but I give Jill five HUGE stars. I don't think we would have our home if it hadn't been for her because we would have given up. She helped fight our battles and really went the extra mile to make things work. I recommend Jill to everyone I know that is considering buying a home. She is great and I feel very blessed to have had her on our side. We will definitely use Jill again if we ever decide to sale or buy another home. Thanks Jill for being so great at what you do!!
Response from Jill
Jill was outstanding!!! We used her to help find, buy and sell our house. We sold in less than 2 days!! Any question or problem she knew the answer. I would recommend her to anyone to sell your house to use Jill.
Response from Jill
Wow, I don't know where to begin. My overall experience with Jill was great. Jill has bent over backwards for my husband and I after being giving the run around from several other real estate. When and if I decide to buy again Jill Warren will be the first I call....Thanks Jill, you were GREAT!

08/20/2012 - user1196767Bought a Single Family home in 2011 in Beaumont, TX.
Jill was incredibly helpful and patient when my husband and I were looking for our new home. She worked with me in person and my husband online while he was overseas in Afghanistan. Although it was not our first time to purchase a home, Jill still took the time to explain all the procedures and answer any and all questions we put to her. She went to the negotiations with OUR interests instead of just making a sale. We have been in our new home for a little over a year now, and I love it more each day! I know that we wouldn't be here without Jill. I recommend Jill Warren to all of my friends and any one that mentions selling/buying a home. I believe that Jill truly cares about her clients, and that's why she is such a wonderful agent.

Students can experience life and learning in France and North Africa this fall through a pilot program that adds several days in historic Morocco to the popular Discover France semester at St. John's University's Paris location.
Based at St. John's residential academic center in Paris, Discover France — part of the University's wide-ranging Global Studies offerings — immerses students in the city's history and culture. They earn up to 15 credits while studying French art, architecture, language and politics. Students also engage in service activities and visit other urban and rural sites.
Adding Morocco to the itinerary exposes students to an ancient culture with enduring ties to France, said Tina Chen, Ph.D., Associate Director of the Paris location and a Professor there. "They are linked by history, culture and language," said Dr. Chen. Today, she observed, Muslims from North Africa are a growing minority in and around many French cities.
Although the program is always in demand, Morocco has boosted interest, said Matthew Pucciarelli, Associate Vice President of Global Studies. "Students already are asking about it," he said. "So now is the time to apply for this fall." Students at other colleges and universities also may apply.
The increased popularity, he said, was expected. "It's two continents at no extra expense," he said. "What's also attractive is that we manage the entire trip." Students arrive in Paris on August 23, and classes begin four days later. They spend several days in Morocco during the autumn break in mid-October. The semester ends on December 15.
The program's new dimension is even more appealing, said Farida Khatchadourian, Assistant Director at the Paris location. "It's a chance to see France from another perspective," she explained. "Students will gain a better understanding of the country's colonial history in North Africa. They'll also become more aware of the context for the issues facing ethnic minorities here."
Visiting Morocco will be educational and fun, Khatchadourian added. "We wanted to cap off the semester with an especially exciting trip," she said. "Yes, it enhances the academic value of the semester. But students also will enjoy experiencing Moroccan art, handcrafts, religion and cuisine."
To apply or learn more about this fall's semester in Paris, visit our Office of Global Studies online. Or contact us: (718) 990-6105 (Queens campus); (718) 390-4035 (Staten Island campus). E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Do you think it'll just be in Los Santos, or will San Fierro and Las Venturas be included in GTA V? I think it could just be Los Santos initially, with add on missions for unlockable maps to San Fierro and Las Venturas. However, with jets in the game, I'd be suprised if it just was Los Santos. Hopping from LS to SF to LV airports seems more likely. I'm curious to see what other people think.
As in the past, Rockstar puts out 3-4 trailers before a games release. The other released trailers could be teasers for the other locations in the game (San Fierro and Las Venturas). As in San Andreas, Los Santos is the first area to explore, so perhaps that's why they announced GTA V with this location first?
SALVO 78It's time to kick ash and chew bubblegum…and I'm all out of gum
Responded to the other thread, I think more reveal trailers are to follow. I see what looks to be Mount Chiliad and part of a countryside. Throughout the trailer it looks like there's a lot of area to explore out in the distance of Los Santos that we didn't even get to see. But, it also seems as if San Andreas is broken apart for individual games, starting with Los Santos, which looks incredible btw. I don't see San Fierro and Las Venturas being DLC. Too big to be add ons and would obviously be too expensive to be DLC. More like a price tag of a full game. We just have to wait it out to see what Rockstar has up their sleeve.
After the success of TLATD & BoGT they must have some DLC planed, a whole city might be a bit much to hope for though.
Perhaps they will have San Fierro included? I saw the Golden Gate Bridge. A teaser of what is yet to come? I don't see them adding Las Ventauras because they seem to be focusing specifically on California. Las Vaentauras is in Nevada.
I hope they give us the whole thing. I wouldn't mind more DLC with other characters. But not them in the other cities.
It's just Los Santos and Vinewood returning from San Andreas - However there are two new cities making an appearance that are connected by freeways and such, somewhat connected to LS. Hunter's Valley and Los Palmas.
The map is GINOURMAS -- 2x bigger than San Andreas, at LEAST!
Which means we will have plenty of places to fly around :)
dude ide love to see one main city..with alot to do in it. if u get more than one..theres just too much to do! going back to a LA style city...would be awesome!!! i would think it'll be out in the spring..like the last one...
There is already a topic for that; it's called "When's the release date?". Check there.
I think we would all love to see the other 2 cities with all the backroads hillbilly breading grounds back lol. I used to love driving those highways from Los Santos to Fierro - and Los Santos to Los Vantures.... - if they didnt give us that on some level it would be an epic fail. I would love to purchase as many add ons as possible so do it up Rockstar! Give me options of buying things for my multi character as well, I would really like that. That way you could choose to bling out your girl/guy a lil more for some XBOX points...................
Most likely DLC, although most people believe it can't be done. Hmm, right up R*'s alley don't you think? Also, I would like to see the other two cities but if we stick to Southern LA, but it's still three NEW cities, I wouldn't mind. I just want them to have MORE ROOM FOR RP AND MP CONTENT.
@xnewb0rnz - When you play Grand Theft Auto like I do, you know there is no such thing as "too much to do", because EVENTUALLY - you'll do everything and then it will get boring. So, they need to pack it with everything they can.
Who thinks GTA V will take the "fun route" this time instead of the "serious route" again? Also, do you think we will have RP support this time?
I am HOPING for serious, but I seem to be voted down, so I BELIEVE there will be a lot more of the "fun" BS than we found in IV.
From the first trailer it may seem there will be both helicopters and plaines.
Let's just hope the handling will be better than in IV.
It's interesting that you mention "the serious route". When you say "serious", to what specifically are you implying? Are you simply wanting the serious TONE of the game to return or do you want it to be lacking in a lot of the so-called "fun features" like that of GTA SA and all the others, like Empire Building in VCS?
This is a purely curiousity question; in no way does this mean to be sarcastic.
To be honest, I believe it was you that brouht in the term "the serious route", and from your post I guessed you by that meant more like IV than the previous installations (I have not played any of the previous), regarding "extra activities".
And what I mean (and that is strictly a prefference of mine) is I do not allways enjoy all the "fun features" that are put into games.
I don't really worry myself about the TONE of the game. This can be "serious", "humourous", "fun" or whatever, if I find the game satisfy my definition of "fun".
I only play for relaxation, and I really don't need a game containing lots of annoying and agonizing extra activities.
But this is just me, and I will probably get the game some time a year or two after it is launched anyhow.
So I'm guessing games like SR3 are not on your "fun" list?
Although I have played SR2, I find there are way to much BS for my taste.
But then - this goes for a lot of the games I have played, and I still enjoy .

While I was babbling, NHC upgraded the Ernesto-remnant depression in the East Pacific to Hector.
I am @AccuFrank on Twitter.
Here comes another snow-producing storm and it looks as though Virginia will be the big winner. Some very cold air will arrive this week, too. Another snow may hit some of the same areas this weekend, too.
Moisture surging north into the cold air in place will cause an icy setup with some snow for some. Once this moisture gets out of the way, the cold will edge farther south, eventually cooling Florida down.
I told y'all the cold will be back and it's on the way. It's some really cold stuff, too. The front leading it in will cause a soaking rain for some as well as snow and ice for others.
Not much has changed since yesterday: look for a warmup followed by a soaking followed by a return to cold later next week and next weekend.
Like I said yesterday, it will warm up but eventually the cold will win again. The challenge is figuring out what the transition will be like and how fast it occurs next week and beyond.
A spell of quieter weather is underway but it will get busy again next week. During this quiet spell it will warm up gradually. That might feed thunderstorms when it gets stormy again.

Thanksgiving and Genealogy
I constructed a 10 generation ancestry wall chart to the living room wall---260 inches long 14 inches high LOL!! ALL those people just to make me!!! I want to use the wall chart along with some genealogy games and fun I have planned this week for the grandkids. (I will be blogging about this all week complete with photos).
WOW all year as I have worked on my genealogy I have been trying to think of ways to introduce my grandchildren to their ancestors in an interesting way. At library book sales and with the thanks of my dear friend, Ann, I would pick up history books, books on ancestry homelands and etc. I found books on the wars, the clothing, the life styles.
Also over the years of course I have consolidated letters written, book excerpts etc. of our ancestors.
So I strung a piece of wire across one wall of my living room and am piecing together a 10 ancestry wall chart made using Root Magic4. (Thank you BUZZ!) Then for several ancestors I have added colored dots. The color dots reference a story, or a letter, or book excerpt that I can share with the children. Alot of the stories I will be sharing, I have referred to in previous blogs. Of course the ancestor who out ran an Indian warrior. The Civil War. Jamestown. Presidents we are distantly related. Many of these stories relate to settlers and Indians cooperation in the living during the forming of these United States of America.
I purchased several 36x60 inch wall maps with dry erase capability. The before mentioned wall map has different family groups color coded. One of the activities I have planned is to help the kids trace the migration trails of their ancestors.
For the first grader I have the world map. I will allow him to show us via marker pen his mom's family coming from Nicaragua, his grandpa coming from Hawaii, and his grandfather's family coming from Spain and Portugal. Then the older children and I will work on the passages from 1600 Jamestown to present. I will certainly want to compare this map to a USA atlas to show how our major highways were built exactly on these migration trails. (Thank you, Suzie P for that bit of observation to share).
So how very very appropriate that this will tie into our feast on Thanksgiving as we celebrate this UNION of diverse cultures learning and caring for each other.
Sometimes we wonder why newspapers and radio glorify the misconduct of the most misled evil doers of our time. So it is throughout history ------ The negative relationships, the abuse, struggles are popularized. Just below horrific stories are "the greater good". The stories of heroes, courage, compassion, and that what sustains people, communities and the world as a whole.
BOTTOM LINE.................By the end of the week I hope in a small way I have shared
1---fun time with my grandchildren
2---show them that learning never stops throughout life (Grandma is still working on school like projects)
3---why we celebrate Thanksgiving
4---that even through unbelievable world circumstances, governments, wars, disease, starvation, and orphanage------that people can and do survive.
5---I love God, I love them, I love my (living and no longer living) family and I love America.
6 comments:
Boy, you really have been busy! I'll keep your map idea in mind for when my little one gets older. Please post some photos of your activities when you get a chance (will really help visual learners like myself) - would love to see what you're talking about!
Have a memorable Thanksgiving, Ruth.I really like these ideas - especially the 10 generation chart on the wall. I have been trying to think about how to get my nieces and nephews involved, can't wait to hear how your grandchildren get involved.
A Resource for Greek family genealogy researchI just heard your interview with Lisa Louise Cooke on her Genealogy Gems Premium Episode 35 and was so intrigued with Grandma's Genie Camp I had to visit your blog. I LOVE it. What a creative way to engage the young ones.
I can't wait to read all of your posts!

Homeless soldiers abandoned to the streets
5:00pm Tuesday 8th May 2012 in News By Bill Gardner , Senior Reporter
Homeless soldiers are a "sad legacy" on the streets of Sussex.
Veterans suffering from the trauma of war are sleeping rough, living alone and struggling to adapt to civilian life after returning from the battlefield.
As many as one in five rough sleepers in Sussex served their country before falling on hard times.
More than 15 ex-servicemen and women are known to be sleeping rough in Brighton and Hove - with as many as 50 homeless across the county.
However the numbers could be considerably higher, because many proud former soldiers try to hide their past.
Many are crippled by severe post traumatic stress or gripped by drink and drugs.
Max, 36, is an ex-soldier who served in Northern Ireland left the army 14 years ago.
He is now an alcoholic living on the streets of Brighton with his girlfriend.
Max, not his real name, said: "I was in Belfast and something really bad happened to me.
"I left the army but I got no support at all. Soon I was living on the streets because I didn't have any money or anywhere to go.
"Me and my girlfriend have been in Brighton for nine months now and we've been really struggling.
"You think when you serve your country you'd get supported - but I wasn't."
Sergeant Richard Siggs, who leads Sussex Police's Street Community team in Brighton and Hove, said: "We currently have a number of homeless individuals that are informing us that they are ex-military.
"They have experienced trauma in their service and are suffering from stress.
"One man I know was on board a boat that was blown up in the Falklands. Others have recently come back from Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Most of them have not been able to deal with a return to civilian life and some are begging.
"It's our duty to return these brave men to civilian life as quickly as possible."
Former paratrooper Nick Zaver, who became homeless after 18 years serving in Northern Ireland and the Falklands, now runs a charity to help former veterans who have fallen on hard times.
Mr Zaver said: "It's a really sad legacy on every single one of us as members of a society that we can let people who have served their country end up like this.
"It is something that has been increasing. There are lots of soldiers coming back from Afghanistan and with defence cuts we will be starting to see people who have been serving longer periods of time.
"I ended up homeless and sleeping in my car for three month. I couldn't get any help. I was begging and begging.
"I ended up being moved from place to place staying with druggies and alcoholics and fighters.
"I dedicated my life to Queen and country. The guys we are meeting have given their lives for their country and have ended up with nothing, the lowest of the low."
Jerry, a former soldier who has been getting help from Mr Zaver's Brighton charity, Where Do I Belong said: "I would like to live what I consider a normal life. I want to go out and be sociable with people without feeling afraid.
"I would like to be how I used to be when I enjoyed the company of others and when I felt I fitted in. I would like to be able to sleep without having to take a sleeping tablet and be able to go to bed at a normal hour, instead of staying up to 5 or 6am. I want to get back the respect from people."
Andy, another homeless former serviceman said: "I do not like to be trapped or feel I am locked into a schedule or routine I can't keep. As I have to manage my mental health issues on a daily, sometimes moment-to-moment basis.
"I am not a well person. I have learned to manage my issues in an appropriate manner, but it's not easy being me or living in my world.
"The horrors and traumas I have witnessed still haunt me. I am damaged and still broken inside, even if I put on a brave front I am still crippled inside."
Veteran Gary Jones served in the Royal Army Medical Corps for five years until 1986.
He ended up living on the streets of Brighton for a year and a half suffering the daily "flashbacks and night terrors" after finding the bodies of women and children.
Rickey Burnham a former Private with the 13 Air Assault Regiment ended up sleeping rough at Lewes train station after becoming haunted by the mutilated bodies he had seen on the front line in Iraq. His marriage broke down and his relationship with his mother deteriorated because of his mood swings and he ended up on the streets.
Mark Morgan's life spiralled out of control after he experienced the Omargh bombing.
The former soldier with the Royal Regiment of Wales, spent 18 months on the streets often sleeping on Brighton beach, under the Palace Pier or in shop doorways.
Alan Merry, client support officer for the Royal British Legion in Sussex, works with 150 to 200 former service men a year. Most are homeless or facing the threat of homelessness.
He said: "A lot of our youngsters are coming back from fighting very unpopular conflicts and they are suffering.
"Many joined the forces to escape chaos or to escape a dysfunctional family.
"The armed forces become their only means of support. Often when they leave the forces it's like they lose the only family they've ever known.
"If they don't have any local connection then the council has no duty to provide for them.
"We are the main providers of welfare because the authorities don't have the resources to help.
"They are certainly out there in large numbers and the problem could be even worse because many won't even tell us they are ex-military because they are incredibly proud individuals."

With advancements in veterinary medicine and nutrition, pets are living longer than ever before. Like people, as pets age they become more susceptible to illness and disease and need extra attention to help keep them vibrant and healthy.
"Exams twice a year are important for older animals... so we have a chance to intervene early should we detect any serious problems," says Eileen Landry, CVT, of AAHA-accredited Connecticut Veterinary Center & Pet ER.
According to Cindy Morgan, CVT, practice manager of Denver's AAHA-accredited University Hills Animal Hospital, geriatric patients also need more extensive evaluations than their younger counterparts, such as additional blood tests and ocular pressure checks.
"The tests are age-specific and we customize tests to each animal's breed and health history. For example, we might do thoracic X-rays on bigger dogs at 7 years, but smaller dogs at 9 years," explains Morgan.
Symptoms of age-related health problems might be nothing more than subtle behavior changes, so your veterinarian may look to you for additional information.
Something as seemingly insignificant as a change in the way your pet chews or sits can signal a problem. Because you know your pet's daily patterns and behavior best, sharing your observations with your veterinarian is essential.
According to Morgan, some symptoms creep up so slowly owners do not notice them. She describes a conversation with a client who was picking up a pain reliever for his pet. "He didn't realize that his dog [was in pain] until after she was on this medication and started being much more active and getting around much more easily."
30% have a hidden disease62% of dogs age 10 years and older have symptoms of cognitive dysfunction80% have dental disease
Some animal hospitals send checklists with their exam reminder letters, which prompt owners to see their pets through fresh eyes. Questions might include: Does your pet take longer to get up? Is your pet drinking more water? Is your pet sleeping more?
If your clinic doesn't do this, consider keeping a list of your pet's behavior changes or physical abnormalities as they occur. Note any changes in coat and skin; gait; posture; oral health, such as bad breath or difficulty eating hard foods; weight; sleep patterns; and hearing or sight.
Signs that your pet needs to be seen by a veterinarian immediately include increased water consumption, inability to urinate or excessive or inappropriate urination, staring, and disorientation, to name a few.
Geriatric examinations usually include a standard physical; eye, ear, mouth, and rectal exams; blood chemistry profile; complete blood count; urinalysis and possibly endocrine (glandular) tests, and X-rays.
These exams may add $200–$400 to your annual veterinary costs, but the expense is much less than what you will ultimately pay if diseases progress untreated. Still, planning for preventive care makes sense.

There are eight sections connected by 13 kilometers of track with over 900 trains running "night" and day. Each day in this little world lasts 15 minutes, and once the sun sets, nightlife begins. The scope of this project is difficult to convey in words and even photographs, as the choreography of the people, the cars, the boats, and the trains truly make this little world come alive! For a great 5-minute introduction to this universe, go watch The Wonderland in 5 Minutes.
With 40 manned computers running self-developed software keeping the world moving, there has clearly been a great deal of work put into this project. By 2020, they promise to open sections depicting areas of France, Italy, England, and Africa!
I suppose I don't feel as bad for the amount of time that I put into appointing my surroundings. It sure hasn't been 500,000 hours!

308 carbs rebuild or have them rebuilt?
Hey guys, haven't been around for awhile life can be like that sometimes. Anyway I am in need of either having my carbs rebuilt or rebuilding them myself. If I decide to do it myself where can I find the kits? Is it any harder than a standard 4 barrel? If I have them rebuilt what can I expect to spend? I hooked up with a local rebuilder, sent him all my info and never heard back. I suppose he couldn't get the parts either. The car runs and drives so they aren't completely toasted but they do leak fuel and it runs a little rough at times like they are loading up.
Anyway thanks for any info you can give. -
We have kits at 21st
I suppose one answer would be would you be comfortable doing the job yourself. I've done a few way, way back - don't know if I did it right, but the car ran ok afterward. As Randy says kits are available. You didn't mention a carby number - there are Carter carburetor sheets in the online library - url below.
If you don't feel comfortable doing it then I'd recommend Walt Mordenti - he's always rebuilding carbs - but I don't know what he charges.
Alex Burr
Memphis, TN -
I've done some in the past and like you they ran afterwards. I will get and post the info on the carbs this afternoon.
Get the appropriate Hudson manual for your unit before you start. There is info there not in the paperwork that comes in the kits. And if you have a way to soak out and clean the passages go ahead and try. Whats the worst that can happen ? - you have to have some one else redo it ?
RogerRetired Tech. -
I just had my twin H carbs rebuilt at Daytona Parts Co. in New Smyrna Beach Fla. Google them and read about them. I was referred to them by Dr. Doug.They did a great job. About $500.00 for both. I payed twice that a couple years ago from Walt. His were not even close to these. I highly recommend these folks.
paul -
Thanks for the review Special, I was reading about them and am glad to hear from someone else who has used them
i also have had them rebuild 4 of the carbs,they look and perform better than new!!!
Daytona did a set for me also.
PB140024.JPG1984 x 1488 - 2M -
HORNETSPECIAL, this is Walt, show me the bill where you said I charged you twice that amount.
I did this set for Scott Crowder . I can do another pair, for $300, if one supplies the kits from Randy or Daytona Carburetor. This applies to previously working carbs that are not missing parts or beaten up.DSC01325.jpg960 x 720 - 234KDSC01160.jpg960 x 720 - 196K
walt does,nt seem like a warm happy fellow. oh my.
As far as carbs go, these are not that complicated. My local shop does them and their carb guy was not yet born when cars quit using these carbs....Brownie
SU carbs are simpler than Carter WA-1's. One jet does it all, no accelerator pump, no choke.......etc. Not that i favor SU's , just stating a fact, since I have rebuilt both. Quadrajets are a bit more of a challenge.....
How about the twin Jikov 30 SSOP two barrels for a Tatra T603? I redid many of those, and as for the kit? HAHAHAHA! I made the rebuild kits! From gasket material, from 0.15" thick neoprene coated nylon for the accelerator pump diaphragms, using a leather punch, a bigger hole punch set, and Exacto knife.......the fiber washers for sealing the jets, fuel inlets and banjo fittings I sourced from McMaster-Carr.DSC02047.jpg960 x 720 - 130KDSC02048.jpg960 x 720 - 149KDSC02049.jpg960 x 720 - 90KDSC02051.jpg960 x 720 - 164KDSC02052.jpg960 x 720 - 104KDSC02053.jpg720 x 960 - 172KDSC02050.jpg960 x 720 - 119KDSC02054.jpg960 x 720 - 59KDSC02058.jpg960 x 720 - 164KDSC02067.jpg960 x 720 - 103KDSC02068.jpg960 x 720 - 105KDSC02069.jpg960 x 720 - 109KDSC02070.jpg960 x 720 - 110KDSC02071.jpg960 x 720 - 113KDSC02072.jpg960 x 720 - 147K
Walt sorry if i miss spoke about price. Did not save bill, but as I recall it was far more than i paid at Daytona. Also they look almost new and yours did not. Sorry if i have offended you. You are up there on your prices.
Another guy promoting a company. My charge is $490.00 for 2 carbs and that includes the kits. And they are new when finished. It's been that way since day one. Walt.
Walt, if you have them, what would you want for a pair with no core?
hotrodman, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com Drop the het, have to fool the spam computer. Walt
Walt, I want to order your books, can you send me your address and contact info please.
Harry -
Walt's address is on page eight of the January/February 2013 edition of the White Triangle News!
John Forkner -
Walt Mordenti 45 Skyview Way San Francisco, CA 94131-1248 The 2 books are $41.00 and that includes S&H priority mail.
Do you have any of the leathers for a dashpot out of a chrysler style Carter B&B carb? I need to replace the leather on the dashpot piston. Where can you get them, do you know? Sorry, off topic for Hudson I know.

Ya...it is hard to justify when a good bourbon can be had $40-$50. Great bourbons (lotB and booker's) for $70. Spending more than $90+ seems steep. Well...if that GTS listing for $104 made it to the shelves many of us would of went for it.

Anyone try this? Worth the price?
It's highly regarded on various bourbon sites (bourbonenthusiast.com, straightbourbon.com), and might be BTs best juice outside of the antique collection. It's strange that the Connosr rating is so low. As for the price, well I'll still be buying one even at $90. I've never been disappointed with anything from Buffalo Trace.
Also nice to see the usual LCBO spell checker in action.

State: | AR |
Subject: | Business Opportunity Rule |
Title: | Notice of Proposed Rulemaking |
CFR Citation: | 16 CFR Part 437 |
No Attachments |
Dear Sir or Madam: I am writing this letter because I am concerned about the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993. I believe that in its present form, it could prevent me from continuing as an Independent Sunrider Distributor. I understand that part of the FTC's responsibilities is to protect the public from "unfair and deceptive acts or practices," and I'm all for this. However, some of the sections in the proposed rule will make it very difficult if not impossible for me to sell Sunrider® products. One of the most confusing and burdensome sections of the proposed rule is the seven-day waiting period to enroll new Distributors. Sunrider's Starter Pack costs only $140, and is not a mandatory purchase in order to become an Independent Sunrider Distributor. People buy TVs, cars, and other items that cost much more than that and they do not have to wait seven days. This waiting period gives the impression that there might be something wrong with the plan. I also think this seven-day waiting period is unnecessary because Sunrider already has a generous 60-day return policy for existing Distributors that is applicable to all products, including the Sunrider® Starter Pack. Sunrider also has a 90% buyback policy for former Distributors applicable to all products purchased within the last twelve months. Another problem with the seven-day waiting period is the administrative burden of keeping very detailed records when I first speak to someone about Sunrider, and then having to send numerous reports to Sunrider headquarters. The proposed rule also calls for the release of any information regarding lawsuits involving misrepresentation, or unfair or deceptive practices. It does not matter if the company or person was found innocent. Today, anyone or any company can be sued for almost anything. It does not make sense to me that I would have to disclose these lawsuits unless Sunrider is found guilty. Otherwise, Sunrider and I are put at an unfair advantage even though Sunrider has done nothing wrong. Besides, Sunrider has always been & will continue to be an open book about all their business practices. Finally, the proposed rule requires the disclosure of a minimum of 10 prior purchasers nearest to the prospective purchaser. I am glad to provide references, but in this day of identity theft, I am very uncomfortable giving out the personal information of individuals (with or without their approval) to strangers. I personally would NOT give permission to anyone intending on sharing it with others! My bank, utilities company and many others I do business with will NOT share my personal information, why should this rule force me to do so in my Sunrider business? In addition, giving away this information could damage the business relationship of the references who may be involved in other companies or businesses including those of competitors. In order to get the list of the 10 prior purchasers, I will need to send the address of the prospective purchaser to Sunrider headquarters and then wait for the list. I also think the following sentence required by the proposed rule will prevent many people from wanting to sign up as a salesperson: "If you buy a business opportunity from the seller, your contact information can be disclosed in the future to other buyers." People are very concerned about their privacy and identity theft. They will be reluctant to share their personal information with individuals they may have never met. I have been an Independent Sunrider Distributor for more than 20 years. Originally, I became a Distributor of Sunrider's products because I like them and wanted to earn some additional money. Now my family depends on this extra income to supplement our budget. I appreciate the work of the FTC to protect consumers, but I believe this proposed new rule has many unintended consequences and that there are less burdensome alternatives available in achieving its goals. Thank you for your time in considering my comments. Sincerely, Patricia Childers

DAMIT! I read in a MTB magazine that you can stuff your tire with grass to get by... that didn't work, it just made the tire "bouncy".

Fuchs, from Peru, had built up a lead of more than two minutes in the showroom category only to drop almost the same amount when his Symtech Racing Subaru Impreza picked up a front-right deflation on today's penultimate stage.
As a result, his lead over new second-placed driver Marcos Ligato starting day four has been trimmed to 46.1s. While this is still a comfortable margin with only two stages and 16 competitive kilometres left to run, Fuchs is refusing to get complacent having had his hopes of PWRC glory dashed in the past.
"Tomorrow is only 16 kilometres but it's not nothing, anything can happen," said Fuchs. "There are so many rocks on the road that I have tried to save my car. For this reason I am happy."
Marcos Ligato, in a Top Run Motorsport Impreza, lost time with an electrical glitch on stage 11 but moved ahead of Mentos Ascania Racing's Valeriy Gorban for second place on the final stage. The Argentine must hold on this position to keep alive his outside hopes of the title heading to the final round in Spain next month.
Behind Gorban, Subhan Aksa is fourth following an eventful day. After going fastest on stage 10, the Indonesian ace lost time with an overshoot and a brake glitch as the day progressed.
Oleksii Kikireshko is fifth overnight with Michal Kosciuszko sixth, Ricardo Trivino seventh and title leader Benito Guerra eighth in his Ralliart Italia Mitsubishi Lancer. Gianluca Linari is ninth with Louise Cook classified in 10th despite dropping out on Saturday's opener with a broken driveshaft on her Ford Fiesta. The Briton plans to restart on Rally 2 rules on Sunday morning.

Copyright © 2012 Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma. Oklahoma Monthly Climate Summary 1 At 2 degrees above normal across the state, February's warmth was not quite as striking as the previous two winter months, but it still managed to rank as the 33rd warmest February on record. The statewide average precipitation total of 1.78 inches was virtually normal and ranked as the 42nd wettest February on record. Much of the state was actually a bit on the dry side, but the fourth wettest February on record for north central Oklahoma helped boost the statewide average. Golf clubs replaced parkas as the outdoor accessory of choice this winter, and Oklahoma's kids can only dream of missed school days filled with sledding and snowball fights. The mildness of this winter – the 11th warmest on record at nearly 3 degrees above normal – stands in stark contrast to the cold, snowy experiences of the previous two years. Tulsa has recorded a paltry 1.7 inches of snow so far this cool season and Oklahoma City reported a similar total of 1.8 inches. This winter ranked as the ninth warmest in Oklahoma City dating back to 1891. Tulsa's average winter temperature tied for the sixth warmest dating back to 1905. february 2012 Oklahoma Monthly Climate Summary February 2012 Statewide Extremes Description Extreme Station Day High Temperature 81ºF Hollis 28 Low Temperature 8ºF Jay 12 High Precipitation 4.95 in.

The front generated strong-to-severe storms across northwestern Oklahoma on the second. Hail up to 1.5 inches in diameter was reported near Freedom along with 65 mph winds. The storms continued into the third with more large hail and severe wind reports. The highest rainfall totals ended up in northwestern Oklahoma where 2-4 inch amounts were widespread. With the passage of the cold front, temperatures rose into the 40s and 50s in the north and 60s and 70s in the south. February 4-6: The front brought a cold start to this period. Lows were mostly in the 20s and 30s through the sixth and highs managed to rise into the 50s on that day. February 7-10: A storm system moved across Kansas and brought light rain and snow to the state on the seventh. Most of the snow totals were less than 2 inches. The highest total reported was 2.3 inches from Dewey County. The rainfall totals were also light, most less than a quarter of an inch. An arctic air mass slowly filtered into the region after the storm system pulled away. Highs on the 10th rose into the 30s for the most part, although there were a few 40s in the south. Strong northerly winds made it feel much colder.
