Nobel Economist Joseph Stiglitz on Obama's Stimulus Plan, Debt, Climate Change, and "Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy"
As President Obama defends the success of his one-year-old $787 billion stimulus package, we speak to Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, who says the stimulus was both not big enough and too focused on tax cuts. Stiglitz is the author of the new book Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy, which analyzes the causes of the Great Recession of 2008 and calls for overcoming what he calls an "ersatz capitalism" that socializes losses but privatizes gains.

"A Bad Day for America": Anti-Nuclear Activist Harvey Wasserman Criticizes Obama Plan to Fund Nuclear Reactors
President Obama has pledged $8.3 billion in loan guarantees needed to build the first nuclear reactors in nearly three decades. The move, along with a tripling of nuclear loan guarantees in the President's budget, represents a new federal commitment to the nuclear power sector. We speak to independent journalist and longtime anti-nuclear activist Harvey Wasserman, who helped found the grassroots movement against nuclear power in the United States in the 1970s.

As Bata grew up in Mongolia under the soviet influence and learnt Russian in school, and listening to our guide today I realised even more what a rich culture there is in Eastern Europe.

Top 10 Most Well Trained Special Forces On EarthThe world's heros who are ready to do the hardest missions. Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.
The Top Ten
1British SAS
Fact - Nearly ALL the worlds Special Forces base their military model on the British SAS. In fact, the USA's Delta Force was set up after the founder spent time attached to the SAS. The Delta Forces even uses an SAS organisational structure using troops and squadrons. It's often remarked that the sand beret is also worn by US Rangers but this was a recent development and in any case the Rangers are NOT the same kind of unit. It can be said with confidence that the world's most professional special forces is that belonging to Britain.
The Special Air Service is the number one fighting force in the world it is trained to perform equally well in all the fields listed for the SEALs, but is also trained by MI-5 and MI-6 for in-depth counter-espionage, more so than the SEALs. Physical competency must be of equal stature to the SEALs, to the degree that both special forces work closely together when necessary (Iraq and Afghanistan) and have good camaraderie.
The original special forces, all others are based off them. Should definitely be above the SEAL's.
[Newest]How bout the Australian sasMore comments about British SAS
2Navy SEALs
The Navy SEaLs are the best the United States has to offer. They life is revolves around training. They are one of the best in physical capabilities after the Spetsnaz. They are a breed of super solider with the SAS, spetsnaz.
We have the history and experience to back it up. Plus the best training in every weather and geography and access to advanced technology man has to offer. Also we are constantly in hostile situations and are combat ready and are active to this day. can't say the same for some of these other spec-ops forces. Most other nations are limited to small defense budgets and lack of diverse terrain in training situations and conditioning. Also where are the experience of actual combat or credentials gained? Actions speak louder than words...
Yes actions speak louder than words... That's why SAS wins... Original... Still the best
The SEALS are the best in the world today. Arguing physical, mental, and emotional training is moot because all special ops units are elite in those categories. However, the SEALS have advantages over others with the unparalleled US military budget, which provides them with training in every geographical & climate scenario. The US has been active in wars around the globe since the Cold War, providing the SEALS with actual battlefield experience and proven results; whereas most other units have belong to nations who have not been at war for many years. At the end of the day, the SEALS blow past the competition because of their incredibly advanced technology and endless firepower. Upon completion of duty, former SEALS are the most hired consultants by other nations to oversee training for their respective units than any other special ops organization.
[Newest]Most highly trained, assessed and selected group of warriors the world has ever known. Capable of effectively operating in all the world's environments, and proven by battle time and time again.
3Indian MARCOS
Indian MARCOS are one of the best forces present in the world, HALO and HAHO trained, Equipped with best Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles and real-time war Equipments required. These guys are emotionally very trained and highly motivated when it comes to defending their own country. The rejection rate during the selection is as high as 98%, that's why India has only 2000 marine commandos. Sooner or Later this special group will be on TOP and very soon the death of Pakistan (A terrorist promoting country) will be delivered by the hands of MARCOS.
Liars if you have guts so attack on Pakistan then we will tell you. We the brave army of Allah. Remember 1965 war.
See, Indian special forces/MARCOS- they are the one who are prepared keeping in view the worst ever situation. So they are the best.
Secondly, unfortunately we as India have no. Of bad experieneces as terrorism, warfronts, hill terrain warfare, sea front war etc... But the good is that we are more familiar with the things, so we know better than any one how to face the situations, thus they are trained keeping in view all the things.
Thirdly India is a land of different terrain ( almost all sorts are available here), so they are trained in different terrains.
Last but not least, you can come out with a strategy for a mind driven person, some powerful enemy but for an emotionally driven with the fire of enthusiasm & love for the country. You can't stop them.

The Indian MARCOS is one of the most powerful special forces on the planet. They defeat the Navy Seals in terms of physical and mental traing. In fact the only edge the Seals have over MARCOS is technology. But, by 2020 when India becomes a superpower, the MARCOS will be the most powerful special force in the world.
[Newest]They can handle the any situations.. Just the operations are classified information because of this we just can not comment more but this guys are superior in quality than any othersMore comments about Indian MARCOS
4Russian Spetsnaz
Spetsnaz training would be illegal in the US or other Western nations. They are constantly out fighting and are practically invincible to any kind of punishment. Not to mention the fact that they have some of the best weapons on earth, like the AK-74m.
Survive the most brutal training, some of the training that they have to go through is not even allowed in the US. And it is SPETSNAZ not spetnaz
Spetsnaz are the most trained soliders in the world. There almost impossible to crack in interrogation and are taught not ignore pain but to enjoy it.
[Newest]They are the best commandos on earth. Their training is the best as well as the deadliest. They are soldiers for extreme situations.
5Pakistan Special Service Group (SSG)
Very brave and Courageous. A Russian president once said that if he had Pakistan's army and Russian weapons he could conquer all the world because they are very brave.
Actually, it was hitter that said "if I had German strategy, American weapons and Egyptian soldiers, I would have conquered the world" you dumb fool lol
The ssg had only 100 me in the battle of the hill in afganistan in which they posed as mujahideen and attacked the Russian regiments of spetsnaz there. They won the battle although the enemy had the elevation o there posts and superior numbers to there side. In another case only 100 ssgs cleared 3 towns in swat district from 2000 taliban in a matter of 2 days!
It is not the weapon they hold, it's the men behind it that matters. No matter how the west view them, simply because word MUSLIM attached to their identity. I wonder if they know, that exact word is their strength. It is impossible to separate the two.
[Newest]SSG IS Muslim force.
More comments about Pakistan Special Service Group (SSG)
6The Delta Force
I think most of these lists are heavily influenced by Hollywood on other media. When looking at a true all-around soldier, look no further than Delta Force. There may be other selections that are tougher but that doesn't make you the most effective warrior. You won't find any better shooters than these guys other than maybe US Secret Service.
Best and one of the most secretive forces in the US. Modeled after the British 22 Special Air Service Regiment, or SAS. The founder/co-founder of SFOD-D was a former SAS operative who thought the US needed an elite force like the SAS.
Its Delta Force period. Delta Force pulls members from all branches of the U.S. military. Delta Force combat diver training is as hard as seal team 6 training. The vast majority of their missions you will just never hear of.
[Newest]Delta force technically doesn't exist, which goes to show how secretive and prestigious they are. Options expressed here are definitely based on Hollywood and media. Britain has been showboating their precious little SAS ever since they started the thing as well as Obama with the SEALs. Delta force operators are by far the most well trained and most deadly force of them all.More comments about The Delta Force
7U.S Green Berets
The Green Berets are the most supierer special forces in the us army. I think a spot between 5-1 would be best. They have one of the best and hardest training. They are trained to survive at any cost. They follow right behind the seals in my opinion. Also there history is very interesting. The Green Berets fight in airborne squads that takes balls. Most Rangers eventually become A Green Beret. "De Oppresso Liber" Translated to English is to liberate the oppressed is said for a reason
You have to go through ranger school and airborne school to be a green beret so research a subject before you declare something that is inaccurate and puts other forces in the same branch of the same country's military down
Green Beret train longer than Rangers
[Newest]Delta Force operatives come from here and the 75th Rangers Regiment
8Shayetet 13
Shayetet 13 is among the best special forces around. Highly active in recent years, high quality people.
Shayetet 13 is more similar to the seals than delta force after they are "the Israeli navy seals", I think they deserve a spot in the top 5 for sure... Some of the units here were trained by men that came from the Israeli special forces like the Indians and the polish GROM for example
The #1 special force in Israel and in Asia, similar to The Delta Force, and supremely well trained
[Newest]#1 special forces in Asia and have proven their strength in small numbers in past operations
9Polish GROM
Polish GROM is in the same league as British SAS, US Navy Seals and Delta Force. It has been created and trained based on the same principles and standards as them. In my opinion, GROM should be within the world's top 4 special units. Just ask the British and the Americans who carried out quite a few special operations with GROM, they will tell you what GROM is worth.
GROM should be placed on 4-6th place. For sure ask British or U.S. soldiers.
Actually grom worked with seals many times and even seals learned some training methods from them, they're either equal or better than seals, the only special forces that are better is in my opinion sas
[Newest]It is a powerful group which never turns away from their tasks and is always bet determined. I'd rank this the 4th most powerful. It is active not only in Poland but around Europe and you don't want to mess with the grom.
10U.S Rangers
In what way are the green berets better then the rangers? There mission is unconventional warfare, the rangers mission is direct action (seek and destroy). And as far as training is concerned for rangers it's about maintaining those high standards that are expected of them, you earn your scroll every day. And oh by the way 75 percent of delta force operators come from the 75th ranger regiment. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
As an airborne Ranger myself, I commend all operators at this level. I have strong preference for U.S. special forces. I have two brothers, one is force recon, the other is a Seal. We all look with a special reverence to our uncle who is SAS. So that being said, with the exception of Spetsnaz all others pale in comparison!
The ranger are the baddest other than delta force
[Newest]Rangers Lead the wah

The Contenders
11Special Boat Service (SBS)
The SBS is the most highly trained and quietest of all British special forces. They complete the same selection and training as SAS but are not 'badged' until they have completed more extensive and rigorous SBS training.
Contrary to some opinion here, they are not 'part of the SAS'. They are part of the Royal Marines.
Americans seem to believe the Seals are the best having pulled off one good mission. The SBS have been doing it for years but without telling anyone.

Special Boat Service the equivalent to the Navy Seals but because they are the sister regiment to the SAS with the same sort of training apart from being marine based is BETTER than the Navy Seals Just like the SAS.
Sbs are less known than sas and they specialise in different things but are just as good as the sas they should also be number one!
[Newest]They are more elite than the SAS
12German GSG 9
They belong to the top 5
I agree top 5, these guys are bad ass and get the job done. Should definitely be rated higher than Rangers and or Green Berets.
13French Naval Commandos
According to historians (UK historians actually) France has the best ratio in terms of winning major conflicts. People should remember that we're talking about a major nuclear, diplomatic power consistently for 300 years. That counts for something.
France actually WON more wars than any other nation in the history... this is what make the British and their cousins so angry and despising about it.
A very discreet but very effective SF unit. Training is among the hardests in the world, if not the hardest. Humility, determination and toughness is our way of life.
[Newest]Said to have the toughest training in the world. Their training is like the Navy Seals hell week, except its more like hell year.
14Unit 777
They have the hardest training plans in the world and they are the most well trained units in the world
Egypt First all the time
Egyptian soldiers are peaceful and do not attack anyone, yet, they train everyday of their lives. Hearts of steel and true men! People can vote for all they want but the most commercialised military unit will be voted the best because of its popularity.. However, when it comes to single manpower, CQC, CQB, self defense, fitness, marksmanship, land, air and sea trained.. Also, survival experts of the dessert... Do your research because there is a more superior force in the Egyptian military which rank higher than unit 777 but I shall not reveal the identity. On Wikipedia, there is 3 lines written about the unit and that's all they got so I shall respect the classification and let you guys enjoy unit 777 as they are superior enough to be recognised as one of the elite!
[Newest]The Egyptian special forces is the first on this earth
15Joint Task Force-2 (JTF2)
These guys train with the best around the world, Seals, Israeli commandos and more. My father was career military, he said there was only four infantry units he would never want to face: SAS, Gurkha, Israeli commandos, and JTF2. I'm not saying that the seals and delta force are not good, they are, but they are trained by the Israeli and SAS. JTF2 works with all of these groups and Are comparable to the SAS in my opinion.
If they weren't the beat...the US would not have chosen them to carry out sensitive crucial operations over their own SEALs and Delta...google operation Anaconda where Canadians made a hole for advancing US ground forces in Afghanistan...There is no argument that they are top 5 in the world, period...simply do your homework..they're the only foreign unit on the US Tier 1 Spec Ops...
Defiantly deserves number 2 since Canada's JTF-2 is Tier one and a very secretive group, and train in all conditions, counter terrorism, special ops, etc and they have much more, strict and better training than American's no offense guys down south.
[Newest]Who are these guys? There is a reason you don't know... And hope you never do.
17United States Air Force Pararescue
They have to be able to rescue any soldier on the planet regardless of the situation, and they have premiere medical training that others on this list lack. I notice Navy SEAL's are number one. PJ's have to go through more training and be able to save a SEAL anywhere on Earth, whether it be a mountain, Ocean, or 200 miles behind enemy lines.
Because even the S.A. S Seals and army rangers need to call 911.
Highest attrition rate in the world.
[Newest]Without these guys we would lose more soldiers then needed
The United States Marine Corp has the toughest basic training in the world can you imagine how intense their special forces training is? By far the best of the best
United States Marine Corps MARSOC! The elite of the elite!
The most elite fighting force in the world
[Newest]They are apart of SOCOM but pulls members from ONLY the Marine Corps.
19British Royal Marine Commandos
You think your fit until you Join Recruit Training for the Royal Marines, my god is training pure hell on earth, During my training I saw some of the fittest people I have ever met break down, cry, and leave, fitness alone won't get you through Commando training, you need the mental capacity to overcome adversity and then some more, with twice as much more added to that, true thinking mans Commando
111 Trp.. Tough boys and brotherhood/teamwork that fits all situations. Green berets are not easy to get.. However, SAS are another league but no one recognises SBS as they are undercover and even most Brits have not heard of them as after the seige in London where the SAS was exposed, the SBS now use the SAS title as they do not want publicity but just to complete mission fact is that Royal Marines are top 10, SAS top 5 but SBS top 2.. Seeing this table, it is just wrong. However, you guys should check out unit 777 and the Turks.. Jesus are they tough. Out the 2 I would say unit 777 would wipe them out.. They can even potentially join SBS in battle for top 2. Dangerous bunch.
I've done SAS and Royal Marines and the RM was definitely the toughest. After basic training the SAS are in a different league!
[Newest]The royal marines should easily be on the top 10
20Israeli Sayeret Matkal
I am in the Israeli army and I have tried out for both Sayeret Matkal and Shayetet 13, from what I have done in their training and what I know about the units, I would say Sayeret Matkal is better trained than Shayetet 13, and are extremely secretive with their identities, they train side-by-side with the British SAS, and are known to complete missions of extreme danger, and complexity. They are by far one of the best units this world has to offer, anyone terrorist having Sayeret Matkal looking for them, has an almost inevitable death. Israeli's train years for the chance to just get the tryout for this elite special force. I am currently in the Sayeret Egoz unit of the Golani brigade in the IDF, I dropped to that special force, after completing, but not making the cut of the Sayaret Matkal brigade.
I totally agree as an Indian I feel the Israeli spec ops unit should have been there in the list. Traditionally Israel is a commando nation and their doctrine is accepted by both seals and our spec ops units. They live in an environment where they get to hone their skills on battle. Without an iota of doubt both Sayeret Matkal and SHAYETET 13 are amongst the most elite units. The naval commandos are dominated by SBS, SHAYETET 13, SEALS and Marcos. Rest all units have derived their curriculum from these units. Sayeret Matkal needs no comparison Mossad selects these operatives period
This list is simply not accurate since Sayeret Matkal is missing from the top 10 list

Best Barbecue
Nothin' says lovin' like good barbecue. Heck, there's really no such thing as bad barbecue, only barbecue that isn't quite as good as other barbecue you've tried. Jack's, however, is damn good barbecue. A good smokehouse can be judged on the quality of its pulled meats, and Jack's has some excellent pulled beef. And then there are the high-caliber sides. Collard greens are not too sweet, cornbread is steaming hot, and mac-and-cheese comes with the little burnt bits of cheese that say it's homemade. Of course, sauce can make or break a barbecue pit, and Jack's sauce is just tangy enough, with each meal served with plenty of it. This is barbecue the way it's supposed to be.

Hit-and-run driver jailed for causing death of cyclist
Published on Sep 25, 2012 5:51 PM
A hit-and-run driver who drove under suspension was jailed six months and banned from driving for seven years for causing the death of a cyclist and other offences.
Part-time driver Patrick Parthipan Nadarajan, 44, was driving a van along Keng Lee Road towards Bukit Timah Road on Feb 12 last year when he hit cyclist Tham Poh Yau, 58. Tham was pronounced dead shortly.
The court heard earlier that Parthipan had stopped his van near the junction of Hertford Road further ahead and walked back to look at the deceased before driving off.
Two bus passengers saw what had happened and noticed that the front windscreen of the van was shattered when they walked past it.

Man Accidentally Shoots Himself in Leg While Buying Milk at Lake Highlands Walmart
Update at 8:42 a.m.:The guy with the gun has been identified as 23-year-old Todd Canady.
Original post: It's Monday night and you're out of milk. Mornings just aren't the same without the chocolate milky dregs of your Cocoa Puffs, so a trip to Walmart is in order. Keys? Check. Wallet? Check. Springfield .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol? Can't go on a quick trip to the store without that.
You get the milk and wait in line to check out. You hand the cashier the milk then fumble in your pocket for your wallet. You realize, as a loud report rattles your eardrums and a stab of pain shoots through your leg that, silly you, you forgot to put the safety on. The 27-year-old woman and young child who are injured by flying debris realize this too, as does everyone who hears the gunshot echo through the store.
It happened last night at the Walmart at 9301 Forest Lane. The shooter, a man who police have not yet identified but say had a concealed handgun permit, was arrested and charged with evading arrest and injury to a child.

- Studio: DreamWorks Distribution
- Release Date: Oct 21, 2005
- Starring: Dakota Fanning, Kurt Russell, Oded Fehr
- Summary: Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story tells the story of a father who, for the love of his daughter, sacrifices almost everything to save the life of an injured racehorse and bring the promising filly back to her former glory. (DreamWorks)
- Director: John Gatins
- Genre(s): Drama, Sport, Family
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 13 out of 28
Mixed: 15 out of 28
Negative: 0 out of 28
Thebest sports movies aren't really about sports. Dreamer has a few thundering horse races, but its finest moments are beautifully still ones, like the one in which a little girl peeks through a fence to give a lame filly a Popsicle.
Nicely run through its paces by John Gatins, who also wrote the screenplay (it's his directing debut), Dreamer is, not surprisingly, about daring to dream the big dreams. It's about family, and faith, and facing hard times together.
The low-key charm of its setting underscores the easygoing performances of a relaxed, well-matched cast. Kristofferson doesn't oversell the grizzled grandpa routine or talk down to the little girl.
One more feel-great sports movie with a teen-poetry title and Kurt Russell will have himself a trilogy.
Certainly not a stinker. Yet despite its squeaky-clean appearance, this family flick has a pervasive and decidedly stale aroma.
Adults will be restless as stabled bucks, but even children may need unusually high Ritalin doses to slog through the visual and dramatic indifference on display.
Score distribution:
Positive: 14 out of 23
Mixed: 2 out of 23
Negative: 7 out of 23

While I am a HUGE horse-racing fan, I cringe a little at sappy, feel-good, cheesy stories involving 11-year-old girls. And so, I almost passed on Dreamer because of the trailers with Dakota Fanning. I was pleasantly surprised though. In fact, reamer had far, far fewer moments that could be considered sappy or cloying than the much more publicized and well-regarded Seabiscuit. Dakota Fanning is a fantastic actor, and she plays the part of Cale Crane beautifully, only once (when Dreamer is reclaimed by her father as a surprise) striking a false note of over-enthusiastic cheesiness. The rest of the time, Fanning plays the horse-crazy, idealistic, and yet surprisingly level-headed Cale to a tee. Although it is true that the story follows a fairly predictable story arc, it is plainly clear that the writers and director are horse-racing fans. Despite the very economical story-telling (the movie almost felt too short and rushed from one scene to another), the story captured many of the fabulous quirks of horse-racing in Kentucky (not least the reference to the Saudi prince who flies his private 737 to Lexington to see his horse run against his brother's horse--the *real* sheik of Dubai has flown his 737 into Lexington for years, where he parks it on the tarmac at the airport across Versailles road from Keeneland...everyone *knows* when the sheik is in town to see or buy his horses). The cinematography captures the horse country around Lexington and Keeneland superbly--they look far better (and more realistic) here, unfussed with and pure, than they did in their limited exposure in Seabiscuit. The best testimony to the film's success as a crowd pleaser was its reception on a Saturday night, several weeks after the movie's release (mid-November), in a North Carolina theater. The majority of the audience were NOT horse-crazy adolescent girls, but rather adult couples, who spontaneously broke into applause at Sonya's triumph in the Breeder's Cup Classic, and who lingered at the end credits, clearly hoping for even more. (Actually, an infertile 3-year-old mare has got little ahead of her except to continue racing... How about a sequel where Sonador's earnings allow the Crane's to attempt to restore the family farm to its mysterious and mythical former glory?) All in all, Dreamer is a movie that promises a story about a horse overcoming the odds and a family coming together which delivers resoundingly and convincingly on both counts. (There are a handful of minor goofs in the movie in terms of accuracy, but they do not detract from the overall film. More amusing than anything else is the scene in the pasture where Sonador, who is supposed to be a filly, is very, VERY clearly played by a gelding.)… Expand

But unfortunately it is so sterile that it is very hard to do so. The film is very slow moving, and for children, it will activate their ADD. Every cliche in the book is used with predictable results. As for the technical aspect of the film, there are more holes than swiss cheese. But unless you fully understand the thoroughbred racing business and how it truly works much of this will escape the audience. The sad part is that the actors really do a good job. Dakota Fanning is absolutely darling even if she's an 80-yr. old woman trapped in a ten-year old's body? Unfortunately, the bad guys are the bad guys and the good guys are the good guys with the moral of the story that good triumphs over evil. With just a little bit more imagination this film could have been so much more. Kurt Russell gives his best performance since playing the part of Herb Brooks. Kris demonstrates once again that he is an underused Hollywood star playing the part of Kurt's father. Overall, it's an okay movie but far from great. Even giving it a score of six is a bit of a stretch, but then again, I am a hopeless romantic at heart. Just wish they had placed more thought into this bland script.

ADATA S596 Turbo 128GB Solid State DriveADATA updates the S596 with the latest JMicron 616 controller. Can the JMF616 turbocharge the S596 or does it stumble off the line?
When it comes to SSD controllers, JMicron doesn't have the best reputation. The first affordable, consumer focused SSDs were built using controllers from JMicron and set the industry back just as it was starting to take off. Those cacheless drives eventually evolved into drives with DRAM cache, but even those second generation drives would skip and stu, stuu, stutter as soon as the DRAM buffer was full. By the time JMicron was ready to release their next controller, manufacturers weren't too excited about co-branding their products with JMicron and some went as far as to hide what controller was used in their budget products.
To be fair, we have yet to see a truly perfect SSD controller. Intel, Indilinx, Marvell and SandForce all had little issues that when ran across would drive you a bit crazy. When buying a SSD you want to look for the drive that best suits your needs and data usage scenarios. For the most part JMicron drives have only fit one category, low price.
The latest update to the long line of relatively unpopular controllers from JMicron is the new JMF616. The 616 uses twice the cache capacity found on the JMF612 and allows the controller to be used with the latest available Intel NAND flash.
The ADATA S596 Turbo is the first SSD to use the new JMF616 controller and today we are going to give the drive a run through.

How to knockdown a popcorn ceiling
I watched a professional spray LIGHTLY with water while scraping it off with a wide putty knife. Make sure you cover EVERYTHING with plastic first. It will make a mess.
To do this you splatter the mixed joint compound onto the surface evenly(experiment on how heavy you like it on a piece of scrap drywall), let it sit for about 10 minutes, then you drag it lightly with a 10 or 12" taping knife. Do not use a fan or moving air, this causes problems. Use a taping pan to keep your knife clean. As far as the mixture goes depends on how heavy you want it to look. Start off by dumping a box of mud into a 5 gal bucket, add water up to about 2 or 3 inches from the top, mix until smooth. You will need to make samples on a scrap piece of drywall, the machine you use has several size holes for different effects, if it is powered by an air compressor set it at about 40 lbs and go from there, if it is a texture machine (without a hopper) these are very fast and can cause a mess, be carefull and move swiftly letting go of the trigger promtly when stopping. It is ok to come down on the wall a bit, this is going to make a mess, expect that, you can remove the overspray with a taping knife easily when it is not quite dry (if it is new dry wall, if it existing walls with texture, I would suggest covering them with plastic). Cover all doors and frames, trim and windows. If it get on something, don't panic, this stuff (joint compound) comes off easily with a wet rag.
Prime the surface AFTER the texture is applied and dry. You can use a regular water based drywall primer. Then paint.

2007 Chevrolet Uplander Problems
Illumination of the Check Engine Light can be caused by a loose or worn gas cap.
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians often recommend replacement of the front rotors and brake pads as the best option to correct this condition.
The high pressure power steering hose will commonly leak fluid and should be replaced if this is the case.
2007 Chevrolet Uplander Questions
I bought this van and noticed that when the auto headlights /heater/ and windshield wipers were turned on together that the heater and wipers would quit (auto lights still worked). After restarting the van if the lights were turned on manual things would work.

These are electric mirrors. I cannot find a blown fuse, I can't believe both motors will go bad at the same time.
2007 Chevrolet Uplander Reviews
My 2007 Uplander has been a very good van up till 70,000 miles. Now all of a sudden, when braking or making sharp turns, it is making a grinding rubbing noise. The dealer checked it out and said the tires are moving on the wheels. I marked the wheels but see no movement. They said I am ready for new tires, but why put them on if that is not the problem. Please, any ideas...
I bought a 2007 uplander 1 month ago. The engine seems very strong. Has 60,000 miles. Lots of tire noise. Drives me nuts. Very roomy. Rides like a four wheel drive truck. You can feel every bump. I'm not sure about the 3.9 engine. Never owned one. We'll see this winter. I think I made a big mistake.
Our 2007 Uplander bought with 11,000 miles now has 70,000 miles and we have had the same problems as everyone before us. New brakes, rotors, tires, and still the front end shakes, steering wheel shakes, and grinding when you turn. Rear-end sounds like it is going to fall off. Side passenger door works sometimes (not electric door kids manually close it) well when we can get it open. Cat-convert...

Could P.J. Hairston opt for the D-League this season?
Dec 23, 2013, 6:45 PM EDT
Although former North Carolina guard P.J. Hairston will no longer play for the Tar Heels after last week's announcement from the University that they wouldn't seek his re-instatement from the NCAA, the 6-foot-5 junior guard still has options to play basketball this season, including playing in the NBA's Developmental League.
According to a story from Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer, Hairston would be eligible to immediately play in the D-League if a team were interested in signing him. Bonnell spoke with a D-League spokesperson to clarify the rules as they pertain to Hairston:
According to D-League spokesperson Joanna Shapiro, if a player is ruled ineligible by the NCAA (as Hairston was) and he's at least 18 and his high school class has graduated (applicable), he's eligible to sign a D-League contract.
Shapiro added that once a player signs a pro contract, D-League or otherwise, he immediately becomes eligible for the NBA draft the following spring.
While it is likely that Hairston will enter next June's NBA Draft, the guard can now weigh the option to become a professional basketball player immediately in the D-League to prepare for the draft, if he so chooses.
If Hairston were to pursue a stint in the D-League, he wouldn't be the first dismissed college player to make the jump to the D-League before entering the NBA Draft. Former Georgia Tech forward Glen Rice Jr. entered the 2012 D-League draft in November of that year following his dismissal from Georgia Tech in March of 2012 and went on to become a second-round pick — 35th overall — in the 2013 NBA Draft.
Rice Jr. helped lead the Rio Grande Valley Vipers to the D-League title in his one season in the league while averaging 29 points, 11.5 rebounds, four assists, three steals and 3.5 blocks in the D-League Finals and also significantly boosting his NBA Draft stock in the process.
Hairston wouldn't play a full season in the D-League like Rice Jr. — since it is already in the middle of the season — but P.J. could get back in game shape and show NBA scouts that he is talented enough — and mature enough — to warrant a selection in next June's draft.
No decision has been made on Hairston's future since the family released a statement last Friday.

If a d league team signs pj, and that franchise is owned by a single nba team, shouldn't that franchise own his rights? Why take the time to develop the guy if he has to enter the draft, when he is now a professional player. The nba draft is an amateur draft, and pj would no longer be an amateur by receiving checks for playing basketball.
- chrisco716 - Dec 24, 2013 at 10:08 AM
It's my understanding that there are 2 D league teams that are not affiliated with any team in the bigs. Not sure who those are but it would leave options open come June.
- fatediesel - Dec 24, 2013 at 12:41 PM
The NBA draft is not an amateur draft. Each year multiple foreign players are drafted that have been playing professionally overseas for years.

Yes the players are not stepping up. But SRH came into the playoff because of their teamwork & excellent bowling. Batting was always their weak point. If there are 4 strong batsmen like Dhawan, Patel, White and Duminy, SRH has better chance of putting up a good total. This means either Sammy & Perera have to be benched alternately. Secondly, Karan Sharma & Mishra were grossly misused- Why? Mishra was the top wkt, taker in IPL 6. He rarely bowls 4 overs. Karan has bowled just 4 overs in 3 matches. Perera has been over used & grossly under performed as a bowler- main cause for the 2 losses. As a batsman he was fine. SRH lost to CSK via Perera's 34 run 18th over. The local Hyderabad players are the guys who under performed, contributed Zilch. However, the main reason for the 2 defeats is poor handling of the Bowlers & lack of plan (by Moody himself) in selection of XI + bowling changes.

`Greys' take over from the young as big spenders
Over-50s find more money for holidays, eating out, visiting friends, ga rdening and home improvements
Friday 27 January 1995
Two-fifths of people over 55 are from the middle-class, white-collar, ABC1 social groups, constituting a "huge and affluent market". But many older skilled workers - the C2s - also have considerable disposable income.
The report, from the market intelligence group Maps, says that "greys" are becoming more mentally and physically active and are spending more time and money on holidays, eating out, visiting friends, gardening and home improvements. For example, they areone of the biggest buyers of winter sun holidays.
By contrast, parallel research by Maps on the "youth" market - young adults aged 15-24 - suggests that a "sizeable minority" are not interested in social life, partly because they are worried about jobs and partly because social life for many teenagers "means isolating themselves for long periods to play computer games".
A survey by NOP of the 15-24 age group found that only 37 per cent said "enjoying my free time socially" was one of their biggest priorities, along with physical well-being (42 per cent) and "having enough money" (37 per cent). Their natural desire to socialise may be "tempered by a growing realism about future prospects", the report says.
Thirty-five per cent, for example, said their main priority was getting training or qualifications and 28 per cent listed "enjoying my work".
Despite the leisure industry's "obsession" with youth, the over-55s have far higher levels of discretionary income, Maps says. Owner-occupation stands at 66 per cent, more than half have paid off their mortgages, and the 50-65 age group, in particular, are heavy spenders on leisure.
However, they are increasingly discerning, demand value for money and feel patronised or insulted if they are targeted simply on the basis of age. They have been brought up in the consumer society "and are unlikely to move into the stereotypical role of the over-55s of the past".
NOP research found that 61 per cent of respondents in the survey spent most on newspapers, magazines and books, followed by gardening (45 per cent), visiting friends and family (33 per cent), eating and drinking out (28 per cent), insurance policies (28 per cent), home improvements (26 per cent), and UK holidays (22 per cent).
The most affluent group are looking for mainstream holidays, not those targeted at older people. The over-45s, for example, account for 55 per cent of the winter sun market; cruises are highly popular.
In 1961 there were 16 million people over 50 in the UK. By 2021 there will be 22.5 million - an increase of 40 per cent against an overall population rise of 15 per cent.
The proportion of over-50s will grow from 31 per cent today to 37 per cent in 2021.
However, the research also points out that the least affluent group, the unskilled workers and state pensioners, still outnumber the better-off. Since life expectancy is increasing, this group poses serious financial and social problems.

How to get a career in practice?
Hi, im hoping someone can help me and give me some good advice.
I really want a career in practice not industry. I always have since i started out in accountancy. Landing a position in a practice seems to be proving impossible at the moment though.
I have a 2.1 degree in accountancy and finance and have only the 5 professional level papers left to go for the ACCA, coupled with 15 months experience as a management accountant in an sme with around £3m turnover where i construct all the management accounts and year end accounts along with forcasting and overseeing the whole Sage 200 system, and do this for a couple of other smaller companies in the group i work for on the sage 50 system, but none of this seems enough for someone to give me a chance in practice!
I really love the technical side of accounting and would do anything for a chance to get in a practice but im just out of ideas. I am in the Nottinghamshire area and can not find any positions which dont require practice experience. Ive started looking down in London as well but have come up with nothing.
Any tips for what to do to get myself in somewhere? Any advise is welcome.
