I come from Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia and it has always been a dream of mine to study in Europe. Somehow the idea of studying in Brussels was 'movie-like' for me and wow did Brussels deliver!
The city provides charming parks where I can get quiet time to study or relax. Brussels' public transportations are like veins in human body: it is so accessible and student friendly! Cuisines are like art and art – such as the many museums, galleries, concerts and workshops become students' favorite desserts. Students are passionate, respectful and curious; all very contagious. My professors tell experience, teach theories and involve practical examples. The subjects are exciting and the classroom ambience is always open and encouraging. Oh and traveling to neighboring countries is just a dream come true. I honestly can go on and on!
Why in Belgium?
As the Capital of Europe, Brussels is the ideal place for students with varying interests in major areas of study to enrich their academic experience and personal growth.
The city has an important international vocation as it is home to the European institutions, NATO, and numerous international organizations and multinational companies. Our students can benefit from this international setting in many ways, and our academic programs draw on this setting to deliver a strong European focus.
Brussels is the bilingual Capital of Belgium, with French and Dutch (Flemish) as official languages. It is a cosmopolitan city in which many different cultures live together and where different languages can be heard on each street. This liveliness and international flair is, of course, intimately related to its role as the crossroads of Europe.
Although the international business and political world form an important part of Brussels' culture, the quaintness of its cobblestone streets and rich variety of beer, chocolate and lace give the city a warm and festive ambiance. Brussels and the surrounding communities offer numerous festivals, sports events, and a wide variety of expositions, concerts and museums. Brussels is also one of Europe's greenest cities, boasting many gardens and parks which, due to the mild and somewhat rainy climate, display lush flora all year long. Visitors to Brussels won't be able to leave without having sampled Belgium's renowned fine gastronomy, ranging from prize-winning haute cuisine to the tastiest mussels and fries in the world.

Polar route
This far, the autumn has been one of the most productive on record. I have submitted no less than three manuscripts for review, one of which I have co-authored with my friend Jon at Macquarie University in Sydney. I have also submitted my book review to Environmental Values which, I am happy to report, has already been published online as a pre-copy edited version. I have done all this while teaching three classes. One may rightfully ask, what is the secret behind this? In my view it is fairly simple, it all comes down to the decentralized academic environment at HUFS and the trust it puts in each professor. Instead of endless audits, research assessment exercises and the writing of research grant applications, I have been fortunate enough to have the time to do what university professors are supposed to do, teach and write. Since joining the faculty in the fall of 2011, I think I have spent less than two hours in meetings. Of course, by virtue of its decentralization, the system is very vulnerable. Unlike in Sweden where a university course is typically taught by two or three teachers working together, I am solely responsible for an entire track in our MA programme. This means that if I would for instance get sick, the students in my track would have serious problems (luckily, I am not sick).
As for the programme as such, the future continues to look bright. This weekend I interviewed a group of highly qualified prospective students. With one more round of admissions later in the fall, I think it will be a very good spring semester in 2014.
One of the students that I interviewed had previously been working in the shipping industry, both in Germany and in Singapore. They are all part of a new generation of Koreans who I think will contribute much to this world, in particular if they can come to terms with the long shadow of history that has darkened Asia in recent years. Yet, every day the newspapers are full of the same tired proxy conflicts with military exercises on Dokdo/ Takeshima instead of looking inwards and challenging the hyper-masculinities of contemporary Korean society. Even back home in Europe there is talk about "turning up the heat" in the Arctic as the ice somewhat ironically keeps melting.
To me, all these challenges are intertwined as they call on us to make good on the promise of the Enlightenment rather than succumbing to the simple answers provided by everyone from romantic socialists seeking intentional localization to militarist reactionaries with cold hearts. The world is becoming global and it is our responsibility to put an increasingly planetary civilization on a sustainable trajectory. The future expects nothing less from us.

Cycling favourite including Brian Robinson – the first Briton to win a stage of the Tour de France - will be enjoying the special pop-up cycling zone, which forms part of Welcome to Yorkshire's famous pink and white stand.
The cycling zone will be a haven to fans of cycling and the Tour de Yorkshire, filled with memories from an incredible first edition of the county's very own bike race and people will be invited to have their photograph holding the Tour de Yorkshire trophy.
The ever-popular Yorkshire beach will return to the Welcome to Yorkshire stand with sand transported straight from the Yorkshire shores, along with donkeys making the journey over from the coast for a day out.
There will also be a spa-in-miniature, giving visitors a chance to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the Great Yorkshire Show to relax and unwind.
The much anticipated winner of Yorkshire's Favourite Pub 2015 will be announced after a record year of nominations and votes in the hugely popular competition.
Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: "It's nearly that time of year again when summer is upon us and we can turn our attention to spending a few days at the UK's biggest and best agricultural show. This year we'll be welcoming the usual crowd favourites at the Welcome to Yorkshire stand, as well as celebrating the incredible success of the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire earlier this year.
"Hopefully the weather will be kind to us again this year, and we'll all be putting out the deckchairs on our own little slice of the Scarborough sands, right in the middle of the Great Yorkshire Show!"
Bill Cowling, Honorary Show Director, said: "I'm delighted Welcome to Yorkshire are supporting the Great Yorkshire Show for a 7th year running. Their huge pink and white stand showcases the very best days out in Yorkshire and will be a great place for families to come discover some hidden Yorkshire gems as well as re-living wonderful memories of the first ever Tour de Yorkshire."
The Welcome to Yorkshire team will be at stand 630 at the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate, which runs from Tuesday 14th to Thursday 16th July.

With Raqqa fight over, 400 US Marines leaving Syria
(RAQQA, Syria) -- Four hundred U.S. Marines will be leaving Syria soon after completing their mission to help defeat ISIS in Raqqa, the city the terror group once claimed as its capital in Syria, coalition officials said Thursday.
"With the city liberated and ISIS on the run, the unit has been ordered home," the Combined Joint Task Force for Operation Inherent Resolve said in a statement. "Its replacements have been called off."
The U.S.-led coalition fighting ISIS announced that troops from an artillery unit with the 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment will soon leave Syria after providing crucial artillery support to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the Kurdish and Arab rebel group fighting ISIS in Syria.
The SDF retook the city of Raqqa from ISIS in mid-October after an intense, street-to-street fight involving an estimated 2,500 ISIS fighters.
An earlier Marine artillery unit had arrived in May in advance of the offensive to retake Raqqa, according to officials, and they provided artillery fire for the SDF forces that retook the Taqba Dam from ISIS before moving on to Raqqa.
"With a 155-mm artillery battery in the fight, their mission was to deny and disrupt ISIS from gaining ground or moving from their defensive positions," said Marine Artillery Lt. Col. Jon O'Gorman, chief of forces for Operation Inherent Resolve. "These Marines rained relentless and highly accurate firepower on the enemy."
According to military officials, there are approximately 2,000 U.S. military service members in Syria, although the official Defense Department force level is set at 503 personnel. A Defense Manpower Data Center quarterly personnel report listed about 1,700 American troops in Syria as of September 30, but Pentagon officials have described that report as a "snapshot" of force levels that are constantly varying.
"The departure of these outstanding Marines is a sign of real progress in the region," said Inherent Resolve's director of operations, Brig. Gen. Jonathan Braga. "We're drawing down combat forces where it makes sense, but still continuing our efforts to help Syrian and Iraqi partners maintain security."
"Our remaining forces will continue to work by, with, and through partner forces to defeat remaining ISIS [fighters], prevent a re-emergence of ISIS, and set conditions for international governments and NGOs to help local citizens recover from the horrors of ISIS's short-lived rule," Braqa added.

Article Title
Document Type
The purpose of this paper is to examine the issue of behavioral reflexivity from a behavior-analytic perspective. Two quotations from behavioral researchers are first considered, and both suggest that behavioral reflexivity is an issue best ignored. The nature of behavioral reflexivity is then examined, in detail, by dividing it into three basic assumptions. This examination suggests that behavioral reflexivity precludes the possibility of finding an ontological (correspondence-based) truth in behavior analysis, and therefore the ontological truth of behavioral reflexivity itself is undermined. If a pragmatic truth criterion is adopted, however, the truth of behavioral reflexivity must be defined in terms of its usefulness in achieving particular goals, and thus the ontological truth of behavioral reflexivity becomes irrelevant. As a starting point for demonstrating the usefulness of behavioral reflexivity, an interpretive behavior analysis of behavioral reflexivity is conducted. This analysis suggests that behavioral reflexivity is produced, in large part, by the contingencies operating in the verbal community that establish responding to one's own behavior, and to "truth," in accordance with the relational frames of HERE and THERE, and NOW and THEN. The analysis is then used as the basis for an exercise for teaching students about behavioral reflexivity. Insofar as this exercise is useful in achieving particular goals, behavioral reflexivity is a true and welcome feature of behavior analysis.

Itineraries: Olympic Peninsula
Hood Canal
Cross the Hood Canal Bridge and continue on State Highway 104 for a little while. If you turn south onto State Highway 101, the road will follow the Hood Canal for many scenic miles. On a clear day, stop off at Mount Walker. It's an easy drive up to the two look-outs – the western one looking into the heart of the Olympic peaks and the eastern one opening to a panorama of the entire Puget Sound area. Continue south from Mt. Walker to the town of Hoodsport for a tour of the winery and a bite to eat. You can continue to loop around the southern end of the Hood Canal, where the road follows the water again to the town of Belfair. Take a few minutes to visit the Theler Wetlands and walk the quarter-mile-long board walk over the marsh to the edge of the Canal.
Over the Hood Canal Bridge and about a half hour away in the other direction is Port Townsend, a town which flaunts its very Victorian flavor. Galleries, antique shops and restaurants abound. Passed over for the state capital and thereby suffering an economic disaster, the turn-of-the-century seaport was effectively frozen in time. It is now alive and vibrant and home to many artists and crafts people, especially those in love with wooden boats. The Wooden Boat Foundation hosts a festival every year. Several other festivals beckon, such as the quirky Kinetic Sculpture Race in which human-powered vehicles transport themselves across the bay, up and down hilly roads and through a formidable bog. Year-round, Port Townsend offers interesting shops, lots of antiques, great views and great restaurants.
Sequim, Port Angeles and Hurricane Ridge
If you don't mind a longer trip (about two hours each way), you can take in Sequim and Port Angeles and still get back to Bainbridge in a day.
Sequim lies in the "rain shadow" of the Olympic Mountains, and was actually the first community in the state to install crop irrigation. This special climate makes Sequim a perfect place to grow lavender, and the output is beginning to rival that of southern France. Each summer there is a lavish lavender festival, where you can find lavender in everything from bath salts to ice cream to mustard! But you can also visit the lavender farms all year long. Hike out along Dungeness Spit to the lighthouse and see the bird and marine life in the wildlife refuge.
Port Angeles is just down the road. At the waterfront you will find a ferry can take you to Victoria in Canada, and a number of shops and restaurants. Port Angeles also hosts several festivals each year. A drive along Ediz Hook, the sandbar that encircles the harbor, offers great views of the town and the Olympic Mountains beyond. Cyclists will be interested in the new Olympic Discovery Trail that connects Sequim and Port Angeles.
At the southern edge of town is the road up to Hurricane Ridge. This is one of the most popular attractions in Olympic National Park. Stop at the visitor center along the way for information, maps, souvenir, etc. The view from Hurricane Ridge on a clear day is nothing short of spectacular. Deer wander through the parking lots, mountain goats can be spotted on nearby peaks. There are a number of hikes and more serious trails. In winter, it's a popular place for cross-country skiing – but the road is sometimes closed due to excessive snowfall. The park web site posts alerts.

Despite being separated by just one game, the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins are in very different positions. The Colts are in the thick of the AFC South race and are one game back of the Houston Texans for the top spot in the division, while the Dolphins have already been eliminated from playoff contention.
With questions at quarterback, the Colts will likely need to lean on the run game to get a win in this one. That's something the Dolphins haven't done all year, but rookie Jay Ajayi has emerged and taken carries from Lamar Miller. Miami has nothing to lose, while the Colts can't afford another loss.
Here are three keys to the game for both the Colts and the Dolphins.
More from FoxSports
Can you beat the Crowd's Line? Submit your final score prediction below. Good luck!
1. Attack the middle of the field
Miami's linebackers are especially weak providing an opportunity for short passes to the tight ends and wide receivers that have the potential for big gains. Dolphins middle linebacker Kelvin Sheppard has struggled all season, including last week against San Diego's Danny Woodhead. Going after Sheppard and the soft underbelly of the Miami defense is liable to yield positive results for the Indianapolis offense.
2. Force Tannehill to beat you
Tannehill has struggled this season playing behind a porous offensive line and without the aid of a consistent running game. Some of the issues he's faced are beyond his control, but he's also demonstrated a tendency to make poor decisions at times, creating the potential for turnovers. Indianapolis should crowd the line of scrimmage in an effort to take away the run and force Tannehill to make plays with his arm.
3. Run. A lot.
With the Colts' quarterback situation once again shaky and the Dolphins possessing a decidedly sub-par run defense, Sunday offers a convenient opportunity to focus on running the football. Miami is 29th in the league against the run, yielding an average of 132.1 yards per game on the ground. Frank Gore, playing in front of a hometown crowd in South Florida, is poised to have a big game against this Miami defense.
1. Give Lamar Miller more touches
Rookie Jay Ajayi out-snapped Lamar Miller on Sunday, 31 to 18. Miller carried it just two times in the second half, giving him 11 total touches in the loss to the San Diego Chargers. Ajayi only had seven touches, but his number of snaps compared to Miller's is surprising. The Dolphins will have a decision to make on Miller in free agency, so determining whether he's worth re-signing will be important in the coming weeks.
2. Get DeVante Parker involved with quick passes
DeVante Parker hasn't caught many passes as a rookie (17), but he's averaging 17.4 yards per catch. He's mainly caught passes deep downfield and hasn't run many short routes or screens. He's one of Miami's most talented wide receivers and has a ton of potential. It's been a disappointing season to say the least, but ending it on a high note could be big for his confidence.
3. Take away T.Y. Hilton with Brent Grimes
T.Y. Hilton is the Colts' top wideout and has big-play ability. Brent Grimes is far-and-away Miami's best corner and matches up well with Hilton's skill set. Aside from Hilton, the Colts don't have many receivers, so eliminating him will help the defense greatly.

Gen Forward Launch is a go! Please report any bugs!
The basic concept behind GenForward is fairly simple, however it's potential and applications are far reaching and diverse. With this site we have created the first step in what we aim to be a much larger platform, to truly integrate generations of family and friends, as well as being an invaluable knowledge hub for all of our members.
Obviously with a project of the potential scope of GenForward, we were faced with the dilemma of what to put in, and what to leave out. Ultimately we decided that while we knew what we as individuals liked the idea of, maybe the larger user base would find those features of lesser use or even worse, irrelevant. Every additional feature we added would take time, and money and delay getting the site into the hands of our users, where it can become a living thing.
Rather than us sit in our isolation, happily coding feature after feature in the hope that people might use them, we though it better to get a functional site that fulfilled the first level of the GenForward mission. To that end we have produced a site containing several hundred questions, designed to provoke memories and trains of thought, which can then be recorded and viewed by other family and friends (whoever the user chooses).
Additionally there's the ability to build your own family and friend network. And we're not really talking about disposable Facebook friends here, who can be "Unfriended" at the click of a button. We're talking about the real friends who know you best, who are a part of your extended family and with whom you want to share your life experiences and knowledge. GenForward is not about seeing who can get the most friends linked, it's about the quality of your answers being shared with those who really matter to you, and to whom you matter.
So, where do we go from here? Well that's really up to you as our members. We want to hear from you based on what you find when you start using the site. Every time you hit a point where you think, "I wish I could.....", then we want to know about it! We already have our own ideas like increasing ability to add pictures and videos to answers, building a knowledge base through a subject based forum community, and making it possible to get your answers sent to you in book format, but we want to know what you as members want.
If enough people ask, we'll build it, or get as close as we can. Obviously you may also run across the odd bug or typo, let us know about those too, we will fix them. In short, if you're using the site properly it should involve spending a decent amount of time on it. We want that experience as user friendly as possible, and to give our members what they really want to make building a legacy for future generations as fulfilling as possible.
Use our contact page to mail us any and all suggestions you may have. We will post the best and most popular suggestions and see if they get traction. If the people say yes then we will listen to the Boss!

Letters to the Editor - Oct. 30
ReForest the Forest: Kingwood Garden Club
Dear Editor:
Do you often ride through town and take a minute to glance at the young trees struggling to grow in the medians?
And wonder who puts them there? And question whether they will continue to mature?
After all, we want to keep living in a "Livable Forest!"
With our trees suffering from frequent droughts, and lately from heavy, heavy rains, maintaining our Livable Forest must include offering Mother Nature continual assistance, in both our public spaces and our own personal areas.
The Kingwood Garden Club assists Mother Nature by holding a ReForest the Forest Sale every year since this century began.
This event first offers a wonderful opportunity to all residents to replenish their own trees.
On Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Kingwood Library from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m., native trees and those well adapted to our area will be available at a fraction of the usual cost — $5 to $20 for most varieties.
This sale is not a fundraiser, but simply a way of nourishing the reality of our Livable Forest.
You may choose fruit trees, shade trees, under-storey trees; many of these will offer benefits for the local wildlife as well, such as shelter and berries and seeds. Come out, meet your neighbors, and choose a tree — or two or three — on Nov. 14.
The second phase of ReForest the Forest will occur a bit later. Areas in the community that seem in dire need of tree replacement will be identified by the Garden Club along with other knowledgeable people in the community, and subsequently, suitable trees will be chosen and professionally planted and maintained.
Kingwood Garden Club will underwrite the cost of the community tree planting and maintenance. This is a win/win situation for all of us.
See you Nov. 14 at the Kingwood Branch Library between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. or until the trees are sold!
Kingwood Garden Club Publicity
Praise for generosity
Dear Editor:
I'd like to pay tribute to a nice young lady who stopped to help an old guy in distress. I had just returned from shopping, and was taking groceries out of my car, when a can slipped out a bag and began rolling down the drive.
I began chasing it. Big mistake. I usually get about well without crutch or cane, but if I fall, I'm in trouble.
I fell and couldn't get up. I had forgotten my cell, and couldn't call for help. Fortunately, this young lady was riding by on her bike, and stopped.
Because of my weight, she couldn't pick me up alone, but she stopped a young man driving by in a SUV. Together they got me on my feet. Unfortunately, I failed to get the man's name, but this young lady's name is Orchid Garcia. A beautiful name for one with a big heart.
Glynn Rogers
Next up — Thanksgiving!
Dear Editor:
Well, the pumpkins get to stay, but the costumes are gone. Halloween was fun, but now we're onto the rest of the year.
Minus that leftover candy, we are all beginning to think about the big elephant, in the room, I mean that big turkey that will be cooked later on in the month.
The turkey is fairly easy, but that dressing, well that is another story. If only I had paid attention to my grandmother when she made her oyster and cornbread dressing.
It wouldn't have hurt either, to have paid attention when she was making that gravy. Gravy that would melt in your mouth, that you put on top of that special dressing.
We might as well throw in the rest of the desserts, that were made by hand, and the veggies that were prepared and tasted so much the better. And the rolls etc.
I'll admit that I am no Betty Crocker and feel no guilt at all. The husband does most of the cooking during the year. I'm great at getting a napkin and finding me a spot at the table. It is only at this time of the year, that I get that pang to make some dressing.
Time after time it's just not the same, but of course, I'll attempt it again.
Who knows I may just surprise myself. And everyone else.
"Cooking and living —
to recreate a past Thanksgiving."

AmeriClean will pick-up your soiled Oriental and Area Rugs and deliver your clean rugs to your home or business in Hagerstown, Frederick, Chambersburg, Martinsburg and surrounding areas. (pick-up and delivery fees may apply)
We know you have a lot of money tied up in oriental and area rugs, especially if you don't have wall-to-wall carpeting. Our service is affordable. Have your rugs cleaned regularly to keep them looking beautiful and lasting longer.
From the finest to the most basic
AmeriClean's In-plant Cleaning Facility is setup to accommodate any style of rug from the finest hand-knotted Oriental rugs to the most basic tufted rugs. From machine-knotted Karastan rugs to artistically hand-crafted Persian or Afghan rugs you can trust AmeriClean to treat your rugs properly.
In-home vs. In-plant?
Some carpet cleaning companies tell you that they have a process for cleaning area rugs in your home. While we could do the same thing we simply do not. From our years of experience we know to achieve the best results we need to have the rug in our cleaning facility where it can be appraised, inspected and prepared for its thorough cleaning process. As we all know, there is a wide variety of rugs in the world. What you may not know is that each of them require a unique cleaning process to prevent bleeding, shrinking, curling, discoloration and other possible damaging effects. We are well versed in the world of rugs and we know what to look for and how to care for each and every rug there is.
Optimal Precision & Monitoring
AmeriClean is the only company in the area with a unique rug bath and custom made drying racks/floor to ensure each and every style of rug will be cleaned and cared for with optimal precision and monitoring. Often, a rug is cleaned and dried and then re-cleaned as necessary to restore your prized possession to a soft and luxurious rug you once knew. Like a story, there's two sides to a rug and in order to achieve maximum soil removal, the entire rug, top and bottom, needs to be cleaned (with some exceptions due to the way a rug is manufactured).
Pick-up & Delivery
Need your rugs picked up and delivered back to you? We can do that for a small service charge. Just call or e-mail us for a free estimate.
Leather & Upholstery Cleaning
We also provide leather and upholstery cleaning in our In-plant Cleaning Facility. If you just bought a used piece of furniture or if you're taking something out of storage, bring it by our facility to have it cleaned before you take it home. It will save you money.

Brian and Krystal Kimmitt's 1993 Quad 4 GTZ
Chevy Beretta Owners Community
May 2017 COTM
April 2017 COTM
Jonathan Chmura's 1996 Z-Clone 3500 4T60E HD
I'm not sure how to describe this car other than its a ever progressing project that has changed direction multiple times in it's life, but in the end has always acceled in it's original discipline. I'll be blunt, I bought this car after building a hybrid engine for my 95 and then splitting up with an ex GF… I was driving my 95 daily with this engine and saw what it was doing to it in a daily application, and seeing how I was on my own and didn't have to ask anyone for permission I just bought this car. Granted it was also brought to my attention probably at the best possible time. It was purchased from Ansonia CT so somewhat local to me, a base model raspberry V6 auto car with 74k on the clock a cracked radiator and basically no rust problems. So I get this car to my place and I also have a Z kit acquired to bring it's appearance up to snuff… I've done the base look for so long it was time for me to go Z. That's where the basic info stops and the drive line stories begin… There were lots of changes with this car over and over again to tweak it to what it is today, and to be honest the transmission is currently out of it right now being tweaked once again as I'm learning more and more about it.
It seems odd to say this but this car has really only had two engines… It feels like way more have been through it but it's mostly just been removal for inspection or tweaks more than actually changing the motor as a whole. It started with the Hybrid engine that came from my 95, When that was cleaned up for use in this car I also purchased a new very large camshaft for it as well as some much stronger valve springs…. Many of this stuff was not available at the time of building my first engine so I went all out on the cam this time around. That setup ran till Jan of 2010 when I pulled that engine to go through it and update some stuff. In between it had been serviced for a bad timing set, and some other various problems. I can say in its first outing in 2008 the car put down a 13.996@98 in the 1/4mile at Bfest Niagara Falls. Best time for a 3400/3500 4t60e Beretta. Only recently have I been able to beat that time and one needs to remember other changes that were done to this car between then and now actually slowed that 13.996 down to a 14.3/14.2. It wasn't till Winter of 2014/2015 that I would decide it's time for a new engine to make this car quicker.
Insert the ambitions to put a 3500 for good in this car and get it back into the 13's without any nitrous. Search began for a 3500 engine with the proper forged crankshaft since I knew that should hold up best to what I would be doing. I found one locally with 45k on it and bought it, at the time I did not believe the crank was the proper one until I had it all apart and proved that to be incorrect. During that build I found that I would need to replace my camshaft due to some wear as well as that would require new springs and pushrods, so I went all out and had this motor blueprinted by myself and every part of it gone through carefully. Had the rotating assy balanced, pistons measured and bores sized independently for each one to ensure proper fit and so on… I could go on forever about all the detail work and customization that went into that 3500 but to save on this post you can read it all here… http://www.beretta.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=5733&start=765#p134079. Since the 3500 project start, the car has also be upgraded to a 4t60e-HD transmission and the HD CV joints as well… I did however immediately break an axle shaft on my first visit to the drag strip with that setup. Everything had been upgraded but the axle shaft itself, and that had been slowly twisting since 2008 and finally decided to let go. All of those changes update and problems aside, I'm back to ripping into the transmission to learn more about it, how it shifts and why, improve upon that as well as find and identify a problem that resulted in low line pressure and extremely poor shift quality on my last visit to the dragway. I will leave you with this… A full or maybe full list of whats done to this car.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something but I can only remember so much.
All I care about is, It's Pink, It's Loud, It goes fast, It stops quick, and It turns when you tell it to. This car has been a journey and I'm sure it's not done yet and will probably never be done. I hope to continue to expand upon it's accomplishments and make this one Beretta that can never be forgotten.
March 2017 COTM
Cory Cain's 1992 GT 3.1
Here are some words from Cody about his GT:
At the age of 15, my parents made the deal they would buy me a first car, of their choosing, and if I liked it, I could pay them back for it. We looked around for a car for awhile and eventually, one Saturday morning, I was shocked to see a white 1991 GT sitting in the driveway. Through my high school life, that car was my best friend, and cleaned better than my room. Once out of high school I made the decision to trade her in. This past May, at the age of 30, I started feeling nostalgic, and found this little girl just a state away. A very good memorable road trip(with mom, dad, and a brother), I drove her the 4 hours home. What a blast from the past, and what fun little cars they are. Thank you again for enough votes to get her on a calendar, I'll never forget it!
February 2017 COTM
Indygurl – Jessica Van Ness's 1990 Indy 3.1
Here are some words from Jessica about her Indy:
I bought my Indy in March of 2012, with 136,000 miles, from Allegan, MI, the city I grew up in. A friend told me of a guy that used to have a bunch of Berettas. The Indy was the only one he had left along with a bunch of parts off past cars. I bought my Indy for $250 and had it towed home due to a blown brake line. It has been through three fuel pumps and I had to strip and clean the interior due to the infamous water leak. We drove a 2000 mile round trip to Berettafest in Maryland 2016 (our first) and did great! I'm hoping to drive it again this year but we will see. The car now has 225,000 miles.
January 2017 COTM
NJ93TY – Nick Romash's 1990 GTZ 2.3L Quad 4 HO 5-Speed
Here are some words from Nick about his GTZ:
I found this car on Long island Craigslist in 2010 or 2011 by accident. I wasn't really looking for another Beretta but Quad 4, 5-speed, low mileage sounded good. 17,xxx original miles, $1500 firm. I called the guy and had to buy it the same night I talked to him. And I did. Turns out the car was on the same road my Aunt lived on in New York about nine houses up.
I had the car for about a year and a half before I started working on it. I had been searching and collecting NOS parts for it. It needed a lot of work, mostly cosmetic, but I was prepared. Once I had everything I needed I started ripping into the car.
Everything came apart: glass, bumpers, interior. Once it was stripped I brought it to my paint guy and let him do his thing. After a few weeks I got the car back and started putting it back together. It was a long process but totally worth it. I'm glad the car was finished in time for my first Berettafest in Ocean City, Maryland [Editor's note: Where it won Best of Berettafest, by the way].
Below are a few pics of the car when I first got it and as it went through its restoration process (open full article to view).

Look : : Afternoon Stroll (MDFW)
No making fun -- my mama was wise to wear athletic shoes this day! I decided to show her around Sherman Oaks, my little corner of LA county. I absolutely love my neighborhood! There are so many little shops and eateries, all within walking distance. After growing up in a small farm town with the nearest Starbucks a fifteen-minute drive away, I'm super excited about my current living situation!
We began our four-mile walk with frozen yogurt at Spoon Itt (mine is the one piled high with chocolatey goodness). We then popped into a few shops, including a wedding dress one -- just for fun! -- and Buffalo Exchange. I've ranted about selling there before, but buying is a completely different experience! I purchased two items for $6. ♥
The next store we went to was Handmade Galleries LA. It's like an in-person Etsy extravaganza with all different types of beautiful artists. How cool is that Fight Club painting? Starbucks was next (hot coffee for her, iced tea for me) and then a late lunch at Marmalade Cafe!
On myself: Dress - Target. Shoes - Plato's Closet. Headband - Forever 21 or Kohl's. Sunglasses - Marc Jacobs (they were free). Necklace, bracelet - Ann Taylor. Ring - From Crimson and Clover, gifted by The Citizen Rosebud. Bag - Swapped from Liesel. Water bottle - Juicy Couture. On Mrs. Loudmouth: Dress - Ann Taylor. Shoes - By Champion, from Payless.
PS: I'm part of an awesome community called Full Time Fabulous, and you can be too! I couldn't participate in this month's blog event, but I suggest you go check out the entries and leave some love. ♥

Nearly nine months later Gov. Wolf allows budget to become law
All the tough talk from the governor and his administration last week gave way to "doing the right thing," as Gov. Tom Wolf announced he would allow most of the supplemental budget bills sent to him last week to become law, putting an end to a nearly nine-month budget impasse.
However House Bill 1801 will do so without Wolf's signature because he says the spending plan, in his estimation, "doesn't add up" and "is not in balance."
"All these calls to do the right thing, to do the right math here in Harrisburg, have gone unheard, so I cannot in good conscience sign this bill," said Gov. Wolf on March 23.
"But to allow us to move on and face the budget challenges of 2016-17, I am going to allow HB1801 to become law," Wolf said. The bill will become law on March 27.
Wolf then ran through the litany of programs and services that will now have enough money to continue to operate for the remainder of the year, all of which he said will not have enough funds available to them next year "if Harrisburg doesn't change its ways."
And the threat of a veto override didn't force him to seek an option different than the one he promised last week, and during the several days since he received the budget bills.
"I think, overwhelmingly, people wanted to do the right thing, and that's what I'm responding to," said Wolf.
When pressed on the matter and asked if legislative Democrats said they might override a veto due to concerns about school funding, Wolf answered, "I received pressure to do the right thing."
According to Wolf and GOP leaders, the $30.031 billion budget finalizes the current 2015-16 Fiscal Year budget.
"We obviously are very happy with the news that the governor has announced that he will let the budget impasse come to an end," said House Majority Leader Dave Reed, R-Indiana, at a state Capitol news conference on March 23.
"This is certainly long time coming; we're certainly hopeful the governor sticks by his comments today and allows the budget to become law and we can bring this 15-16 saga to an end," added Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre.
The supplemental spending bill restores the funding Wolf blue-lined as part of his partial veto of the budget on Dec. 29, including more than $3.147 billion in basic education funding, $939.4 million in state correctional institution funding, and nearly $1.87 billion in Medicaid Capitation funding. Additionally, the supplemental appropriations bill increases public school funding by a total of $200 million compared to the FY2014-15 budget.
However that last figure might not be what ends up getting out to school districts.
Wolf said he intends to fully veto a Fiscal Code bill associated with the GA bill. The Fiscal Code directs how much of the spending in the GA bill is spent.
Components within the Fiscal Code bill affecting the way the administration proceeds with its Clean Power Plan, as well as new oil and gas well regulations, were two of the primary reasons for his veto, Wolf said.
The Fiscal Code bill also contained a new funding formula that would have been used to drive out the $150 million in added basic education funding and a $2.5 billion school construction borrowing plan. That borrowing plan would have delivered construction reimbursements, through the state's PlanCon program, to school districts throughout the state that have been on a waiting list to receive that money.
Wolf spokesman Jeff Sheridan said the PlanCon borrowing also prompted Wolf's veto, with Sheridan describing the plan being "prohibitively costly to issue due to inflated debt costs resulting from the lack of any concrete steps in the current budget to address the structural deficit."
"Obviously the most pressing thing is PlanCon," said Corman when asked about the impact of a Fiscal Code veto.
The GA bill includes a one-time roughly $289 million reduction in the existing line item for those construction reimbursements, a reduction that would have been offset by the PlanCon borrowing. A veto of the Fiscal Code means no PlanCon borrowing, but the $289 million reimbursement cut remains in place in the GA bill allowed to become law. It also turns out the current budget is out of balance by roughly the same amount ($290 million), according to the Wolf administration, which intends to ensure the one-time cut in the GA bill isn't covered by the Fiscal Code's PlanCon borrowing.
So despite what would have amounted to a $200 million increase in education funding for public schools if both the GA and Fiscal Code bills had been enacted, the budget that will be enacted will represent, effectively, an $89 million reduction in funding for public schools.
Still, since Dec. 29, the state's public schools have been operating with about $3 billion less than they received last year due to Wolf's line-item veto of basic education funding. The nearly $3 billion infusion of funds was welcomed by the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA).
"We think the budget effectively becoming law on Sunday, without the governor taking any action on it, is still a good thing," said PSBA spokesman Steve Robinson. "Schools were in dire need of funding."
"But we also realize that without a Fiscal Code, there are a lot of things that still need to be addressed, including PlanCon," added Robinson, who noted also needing attention are pension reform and reimbursing districts for interest incurred due to borrowing during the impasse.
"There's a lot of work that still needs to be done, but the immediate crisis has been averted and schools will hopefully not have to close doors with the money starting to flow again," Robinson said.
The state's largest teachers union also welcomed the money, and in an equally measured manner.
"This isn't the kind of budget that our schools need or that our students deserve, but it keeps our schools open and ensures that Pennsylvania's students can finish the school year without the threat of their schools shutting down," said Pennsylvania State Education Association President Jerry Oleksiak in a statement. "It's unfortunate that we're now judging the quality of the investments Pennsylvania makes in its students by celebrating the fact that their schools might not run out of money before June."
Legislative Republican leaders said they will review their options regarding Wolf's planned Fiscal Code actions. Reed and Corman said they would be willing to work with the administration to develop any fixes, if needed. Both chambers of the General Assembly aren't currently scheduled to be in voting session again until Monday, April 4.
"That's clearly something we're going to have to take a look at," Corman said about the PlanCon situation created by a Fiscal Code veto. "We may have to take up a separate piece of legislation immediately to try to deal with that."

The Different Ways Men Say I Love You
by Brenda Shoshanna
"I can sleep with her, marry her, take care of her, but love – that's something else," said Tony, a married man in his late forties. "Guys don't like to talk about love. They don't know what to say. Of course guys do love. But they express it differently."
Despite this fact, most women do not feel happy unless they hear those golden words, I love you. Men need to hear them as well. And yet, as much as men want love, many fight it to the last
minute. Love can make men feel vulnerable, childlike, and unable to deliver what's expected of them. Yet, naturally, men do love and different types of men express their love differently. A
woman needs to be alert to who the man she is with is, and what love means to him. Here are five different ways that men express what they are feeling.
The first way is simply by saying "I Love You." Saying these words is a huge step for some men. For some it feels like a life commitment, for others it is fraught with danger. "I've got to really trust her and know she won't throw my love away in order to actually say the words to her." said Steve.
Rejection is enormously painful for most men, and saying "I Love You", can be an invitation to be hurt. Most men must feel very secure in the relationship before he'll dare say those words.
For others, saying "I love you," means, I'm offering a committment. I'm going to be here to do things for you. For these men, love is expressed through action. By saying these words they feel they are agreeing to be there, to give to her and support her. If they don't do it, they'll feel like a heel.
For some men, the words means, I'm not leaving, or I'll always be faithful. This can be very scary for some men. However, there is another type of man, who enjoys falling in love and letting the world know it. These men will say "I Love You" easily. Some say it to get a woman into bed, others are looking for a romantic fantasy, some just want to feel good about themselves.
Others say I love you just for the sheer pleasure of seeing how good it makes the woman feel. When a woman hears those precious words, she should step back a moment and put them in context. What do they mean to this particular man? And, are there other ways he may be actually expressing his love?
Some men express love through bringing gifts to the woman. The obvious gifts include those wrapped in packages, candy, flowers, special notes. But there are other gifts a woman may not be
aware of. For example, time is a gift. When a guy spends more time with you and less with family and friends, this is his way of saying he cares.
Another important gift is by standing up for you during a difficult time, attending important functions with you, going with you to your family, planning trips, dates or outings and putting you first in their thoughts. These behaviors are often indicators that the man cares a great deal.
Unfortunately, some express their love through being jealous, or possessive. They do not want to share your attention. Although being controlled is not being loved, for many two overlap. Some
women only feel cared for when the man is possessive.
Although this trait can get out of hand, when it is just part of the overall equation, it often is the way a man is saying he doesn't want to lose you. He wants to be the most important person in your life and to be on your mind all the time. If he is, he feels loved as well. Other men say "I love you" by being affectionate and making love to you. The physical contact breaks down barriers and provides a feeling of closeness that they don't feel otherwise.
Some women require hearing words of love spoken when they are being intimate. But be careful here - sex can mean many different things to different individuals. But many men feel that if the sex is good, everything else will fall into place. Sex can be a sensitive barometer to what's going on in all aspects of the relationship.
Another way of saying "I Love You" is taking you home to meet the family, (and/or close, meaningful friends). He's proud of you and wants to connect you with the people who mean the most
to him. This is often a sign that you are becoming a significant part of his life. By being aware of the people in his life that he introduces you to, you can get a good idea of whether he cares or whether this is this a limited relationship. Love, includes sharing all parts of ourselves with another.
It is helpful to keep a little journal of your relationship. So many acts and expressions of love go unnoticed and unfelt, because we simply get used to them, or are too busy to stop and take note – or to stop and say thank you. Take a few minutes to note what you received and also gave that day. You'll be surprised to realize all the ways your partner is giving to you, and it will be wonderful to find new ways to give back as well.

Just so people know-I am going to be traveling to my parents for a the next week and my friend is checking me mail. She is very reliable but only comes every few days. Hoping to have a happy pile of mail to celebrate getting home!
I love exploring new crafts and am always looking for unique ideas(Baked Marbles for instance-yes they are awesome, look them up). My bed has one side for sleeping and one side for crafting and swapping and almost all the wallspace is bookshelves/dressers or art stuff. One way to instantly make my day is to send me something in a fun envelope. I even have a wall I put my favorites on. I am a big holiday girl and am always in need of stuff for upcoming holidays but also will take out of season stuff. One of my favorite stashes I am looking to build up is stickers so send me any extras you aren't going to use or think I will like, partial sheets and hand me downs are awesome in my world. I love thrift shops and recycling and love the fact that my citys dump has a swap shop. I am working on decorating my planner for the year and am addicted. I am always up for private swaps, I really love the personal nature of them.
I am an Actress, Costume Designer, Director, College Student and Art Metal Artist. I love anything related to Theatre and Shakespeare. I also adore almost any type of craft. I have one cat and one new kitten who is crazy but amazing and loves catnip and toys. My favorite place in the world is Cape Cod where my parents live! I love swapping and always try my best to make packages special. I completely understand that sometimes life gets in the way and swaps dont get sent out immediately, please keep in touch though.
I used to have more on my profile but it got messy. If you want any other info(favorite books or anything) just ask and ill let you know.
Anything and everything random! Recently I have been mainly into papercrafts and random crafts I find online(including fried marbles, yarn balls, and glitter fairy jars) which are often directed at little kids or adults who are kids at heart! I am also getting back into crochet and can always use more hooks and accessories!To get a good idea of what I am doing look at my Etsy store or Pinterest Craft board.
I love swap-bot and the new crafts I find on it, but a lot of them I still don't know what they are. So I would love to recieve any of the following(or info on how to make them): Inchies, Pocket Letters, Zines, true Mail Art(not just stickers and washi)
I love passing on the swapping love to my friends. Oftentimes one or more of them will help me come up with ideas or even help make a swap I am in. So I felt they deserved a spot on my profile(and they deserve mail too so I am always more than happy to receive stuff to pass on to them!)
Kathryn My current partner in crime. We love doing fancy nail art together, watching American Ninja Warrior(Go Jessie Graff!!), playing pokemon, and card games. She loves butterflies, anything christian and motivational(I dont know what denomenation but she likes plain crosses), crafty items, and random things for her 2 cats.
Right now I am loving getting random envelopes full of stickers and journaling stuff which people dont want anymore or think i will like. I love your destash.
I love inspirational quotes and would love to get some in various forms(on an atc, a thing to put on my wall, stickers, i dont know-something creative!)
I love holidays! All of them! I just actually went through one of my favorite website and have put wacky holidays in my planner. Did you know that January 10th is National Bittersweet Chocolate Day? I will certainly be celebrating it. But I really love celebrating all main holidays. I just had a great Christmas and am already getting ready for Valentines Day and My Birthday(February 20th!) I would love to build up a stock of Valentines to open day of. I terribly miss how in kindergarten we all had little mailboxes and exchanged valentines-nothing like that as an adult, though swap-bot comes close. I love decorations, cards, little things to open day of, crafts and supplies, stickers, washi tape, pretty much anything holiday themed. I am also very happy to get holiday things off season or from after holiday sales!
