I live and have grown up in the beautiful town of Oracle Arizona. Oracle is a friendly town full of history and beauty. If you have a chance to visit please do you won't regret it.
The Sunday Brunch and Music Series at Monterey Court is fantastic! Great food and the best of local and touring acoustic artists start your week off perfectly. Hosted by local artist, Nancy Elliott, with a guest performer every week.
My favorite Tucson artist!!!
That's the phone number for the Rock!
If you are a blonde, Mauricio is your man!! He is hella talented when it comes to color. Plus, he goes the extra mile to correct your color the right way not just half a$$. He wants you looking good and feeling confident when you leave his salon. Also, having extensions… He saved me money. My previous stylist, (at a totally different salon), told me I could not reuse them. Mauricio took one look and said, "of course you can!" Then went on to properly educate me about extensions. It's rare to find a stylist who will not try to take advantage. Mauricio is a true gem and my hair will be forever thankful.
Long-form improv totally blows my mind! This place is fantastic! What a great community!
The art is so beautiful, the staff is friendly, the gallery is nice and cool, and the art is priced to sell fast. It is smart to buy a painting here now because the paintings value will go up really fast in the near future. I bought several Ben and Johnny Impossible paintings, they are my favorite! I love SecretArtwork.com !
Good times! !!!! lots of fun
Love that kick ass bass player you now got on Sunday nights!
check out HEART AND SOUL on saturday jan.31 Great band!
The best Beer garden in Tucson....
I love how clean this place is compared to many other Tucson venues. Great staff, great stage, great lightshow. The band B-SIDE is easily one of Tucsons finest rock bands - outstanding musicianship, and an amazing array of songs. You rarely hear a band with such a deep repertoire of music and the skills to play every note spot on.
A Very nice place to go and just relax, great entertainment. Easy to get to located right off of Wilmont here in Tucson. The night I went I had a ball! I'm going back on the 19th of September, this local band I really like will doing their VERY FIRST LOCAL LIVE SHOW! So come out and chill with us!
Pearsons Pub is awesome! They have the nicest bartenders in Tucson and often feature really nice LOCAL bands that we can all come out and support right here in person! A great place to relax and enjoy some local entertainment in a cozy environment Pearsons Pub!
FYI- Local sensation T-4 The Band will be performing LIVE at Pearsons Pub on September 19, 2014 COME OUT AND ENJOY!! FOR MORE INFO GO TO http://indymusicians.blogspot.com/2014/05/t-4-band-live-performance.html
Hookah, Coffee, and atomsphere is amazing! Love this place!
I have been coming to Espresso since since 2005 and this place has always been an amazing place to study, meet great people, and enjoy live music. I now come here to do work on a regular basis. I highly recommend this place.
This restaurant serves world-class food and wine. The only authentic Spanish restaurant in the area, with seafood, lamb, beef, pork and vegetarian selections, as well as many smaller tapas. There is live entertainment nightly, plus the annual Flamenco Festival.
Great place to meet friends for a drink. The Kitchen will open soon.
This is the only venue for hopping dance music for the east side on Thursday night's!

The other day, I got an email alerting me to an amazing financial opportunity. By hardly doing anything, I could help Bruce — I think he's some kind of Nigerian prince — access a windfall of $472 million over the next five years. And Bruce, as generous an aristocrat as you're likely to meet, was willing to share his largesse with me, a mere commoner.
I was ready to buy into this deal, until my wife pointed out that it's unlikely a Nigerian prince would be named Bruce.
I took another look at the email and realized it wasn't from Nigeria, after all. It came from that other sketchy place:
But the sender was named Bruce, all right, as in Poliquin, erstwhile candidate for governor, senator, or whatever other important office might become available. Bruce is currently serving as state treasurer, a post with much less authority than he thinks he ought to be wielding.
You can see how I might confuse him with deposed African royalty.
Bruce was writing to alert me to the fact that Maine has $472 million in outstanding general obligation bonds that must be paid off between now and 2017. The interest and principal from that debt will cost us more than $120 million this fiscal year. That's enough money to cover the impending shortfall in the state's Medicaid program (after the feds refuse to approve the cuts pushed through by Republican Governor Paul LePage), replenish the coffers of Head Start, provide a hike in heating aid for low-income households, boost the Rainy Day Fund, and cover part of the cost of tax cuts that take effect January 1.
Of course, none of that will actually happen, because the money is already committed to paying off loans accrued years ago for such vital expenditures as research and development programs (has anybody seen the jobs they were supposed to create?), new classrooms at the University of Maine at Fort Kent (in case there's a sudden influx of students into Aroostook County), arts and culture (labor murals, anyone?), economic development projects on Maine rivers (like paper mills?), fixing a bulkhead at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland, restoring a forest lodge in Upton, new showers at a park in Dover-Foxcroft, ballfield renovations in Standish, an ice-skating rink in Pittsfield, and wind-power projects (although, none involving Angus King).
Not all that borrowing was entirely frivolous. Some of the money went to buy environmentally threatened tracts of land, even though Maine doesn't have the funds to adequately staff and maintain the parks it currently owns. There was the occasional economic-development scheme that worked out, such as the purchase of a rail line in northern Maine that has boosted activity at several businesses. And a fair amount went to repairing roads, bridges, and other infrastructure, although nearly every bond for those purposes was compromised by the inclusion of pork-like projects of importance only to legislators' re-election efforts.
Is that worth the $120 million we'll be paying this year? Probably not. But it takes some of the sting out of writing that check.
The good news is that the annual amount due on our debt is scheduled to drop precipitously. It'll go down more than $22 million in fiscal year 2014, another $16 million the year after that, $18 million in 2016, and in 2017, the last $49 million will be paid off. A huge burden will be removed from the backs of taxpayers.

Mr. Cassell does an accurate job of describing how the American Conservative movement was hijacked and transformed into what it has become today!
The Hijacking of Conservatism
By Kevin Cassell
Conservatism in American social and political life could have been the hallmark of a 21st Century Golden Age had it not been hijacked by the reactionary wing of the Republican Party and turned into a platform for the politics of personal destruction. What was once an estimable tradition that favored small, efficient, centralized government and gradual transition over radical transformation is now a loaded word that signifies unconditional patriotism, orthodox Biblical faith, corporate deregulation, and a venomous hatred of taxes.
But what truly stuns is how what passes for "conservatism" in the U.S. these days is aligned with the ideological Republican Right and their practice of a politics geared toward very publicly denigrating and destroying the careers of their opponents--specifically progressives and moderates.
This has a traceable history going back at least to McCarthyism. After the failure of that effort, GOP right-wingers were kept at arm's length by Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon, but they made a stunning comeback when Ronald Reagan rode into office talking of a shining city on a hill. As the country shimmered with patriotism and God, these newly-termed "Reaganites" worked behind the scenes, cutting taxes for their homies, deregulating oversight systems for big business, and funneling money borrowed (these guys always borrow money that taxpayers end up having to pay back) from overseas regimes to thwart leftist movements in Central America.
Meanwhile, homelessness exploded, the Savings and Loans industry imploded--leaving taxpayers with a $500 billion hole in their wallets--and budget deficits skyrocketed. As his Vice President George H.W. Bush, running on the Republican ticket in 1988, spoke of a "kinder, gentler America," GOP strategist Lee Atwater was circulating false rumors that Democrat Michael Dukakis's wife, Kitty, had burned an American flag to protest the Vietnam War. His protege Karl Rove, a spokesman on behalf of the Bush-era "neoconservatives," helped sail George W. Bush into office in the guise of a "compassionate conservative"--one who cared deeply for the welfare of people.
Eight years later, the United States is in the throes of its worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, has a $9,400,000,000,000 debt, and 300 million citizens who have been unfathomably screwed.
Believing, perhaps, that a vote for the GOP was a vote for God and Country, Republican voters in the past decades put into office self-styled "conservatives" who became the most predatory political animals ever to stalk the cunning halls of Washington: Newt Gingrich, Dennis Hastert, Tom Delay--to name only the most prominent among them. But let's do some straight-talk here: they are not conservatives, as Noam Chomsky pointed out as early as 1995; they are reactionaries--people who oppose social and political progress.
Their court-packing, unilateral, pro-corporate agenda has been loudly hailed by an army of ideogogical mercenaries in the media who invest enormous amounts of energy into destroying the careers of political figures who stand in their way. Despite its alleged allegiance to love of country, democracy, God, and humankind, the reactionary ideology of contemporary "conservatism" is an aggressive, cut-throat ideology that plays dirty every chance it gets.

Anthropologist to discuss effects of farming, religion and science in Bali, March 3
Posted February 25, 2004; 03:42 p.m.
Anthropologist and ecologist Steve Lansing will speak about the effects of farming, temples and Western science on the ecology and agriculture of Bali at a lecture 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 3, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
The lecture, titled "Perfect Order: Recognizing Complexity in Bali," is sponsored by the Princeton Environmental Institute and is designated the Taplin Environmental Lecture.
Lansing, a faculty member at the University of Arizona and the Santa Fe Institute, will discuss the development of irrigated rice farming in Bali over the last millennium as well as the parallel creation of a network of "shrines and water temples dedicated to agricultural deities." The talk explores the origins and dynamics of cooperation among Balinese farmers and the devastation caused to the rice terraces and coral reefs by well-meaning but ill-informed Western scientists.

2.8: Passive Transport
Can any molecule move freely through your cell membranes?
The cell regulates most molecules that pass through the cell membrane. If a molecule is charged or very big, it won't make it through the cell membrane on its own. However, small, non-charged molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water, can pass through the cell membrane freely.
Passive Transport
Recall that the cell membrane is semipermeable. It does not allow everything to pass through. Some molecules can pass easily through your cell membranes, while others have more difficulty. Sometimes molecules need the help of special transport proteins to move across the cell membrane. Some molecules even need an input of energy to help get them across the cell membrane. The movement of molecules across a membrane without the input of energy is known as passive transport. When energy is needed, the movement is known as active transport.
Simple Diffusion
One example of passive transport is diffusion, when molecules move from an area of high concentration (large amount) to an area of low concentration (low amount). Molecules are said to flow down their concentration gradient. This type of diffusion proceeds without an input of energy. In simple diffusion, molecules that are small and uncharged can freely diffuse across a cell membrane. They simply flow through the cell membrane. Simple diffusion does not require energy or need the assistance of a transport protein. Other larger or charged molecules that diffuse across a membrane may need assistance from a protein.
Oxygen is a molecule that can freely diffuse across a cell membrane. For example, oxygen diffuses out of the air sacs in your lungs into your bloodstream because oxygen is more concentrated in your lungs than in your blood. Oxygen moves from the high concentration of oxygen in your lungs to the low concentration of oxygen in your bloodstream.
Passive Transport using Membrane Proteins
Sometimes, molecules cannot move through the cell membrane on their own. These molecules need special transport proteins to help them move across the membrane, a process known as facilitative diffusion. These special proteins are called channel proteins or carrier proteins (Figure below), and they are attached to the cell membrane. In fact, they go through the cell membrane, from the inside of the cell to the outside. Channel proteins provide an open channel or passageway through the cell membrane for molecules to move across. Many channel proteins allow the diffusion of ions. Carrier proteins bind and carry the molecules across the cell membrane. These proteins bind a molecule on one side of the membrane, change shape as they carry the molecule across the membrane, and deposit the molecule on the other side of the membrane. Even though a protein is involved in both these methods of transport, neither method requires energy. Therefore these are still types of passive transport.
Protein channels and carrier proteins are involved in passive transport.
- active transport: Movement across a membrane during which molecules move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
- carrier protein: Transport protein that aids in diffusion by carrying a molecule across the membrane.
- channel protein: Transport protein that aids in diffusion by creating a passageway through the membrane.
- diffusion: Movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
- facilitative diffusion: Diffusion in which assistance by a transport protein is required.
- ion: Charged atom; atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons.
- passive transport: Movement of molecules across a membrane without the input of energy.
- simple diffusion: Diffusion in which molecules freely move across the membrane; no assistance by proteins is necessary.
- Passive transport does not require energy input.

Please go post here http://www.sirstevesguide.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10037 If you WANT A HERMI ODLE FIGURE!!
My Needs
My Stuff Back( you know what i'm speaking on)
Loose ctc stormtroopers
sandtrooper blasters
looks good to me.
what i'm waiting for is that imperial officer. i'm gonna get at least 3 of them. one to display as is, one to replace tarkin's crappy uniform, and one to customize into general veers.
Zuckuss looks OK and good enough for me to want to buy it. But looking at the Imperial Officer in the background makes my mind working on Veers the same way
derek, if you would notice there is this Dragon GSG9 sniper "Laars" that looks just like Veers, I have him all ready to don that Imperial uniform
Yeap, I would buy him also. Looks pretty cool.
And positively would buy the Imperial Officer
May the force be with You!!!!!
Old photos... these are from Toy Fair. (we have these pictures as well)
I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
I don't think he looks all that good...but of course I will buy him 'cause I am a completist fool.
My wife treats me like an ATM machine. She pushes my buttons until I give her money.
It looks alot, and I mean alot, like the regular figure. This is one of my two favorite characters. The other being Plo Koon. Now I don't have any of the 12 inches, but I am going to get this one.
Zuckuss will look great next to my 12" 4-LOM. I passed up the 3 3/4" version a few years ago and never saw it again until recently. Some guy was selling it for $30. As you can tell from my avatar, I really like this character. I can't wait to see him in the stores!
"Is that the Six Million Dollar Man's boss?"
i'm definatly not gonna miss this guy he's way too cool!!
need vintage parts and weapons
What Vader is that behind Zuckuss and the officer??

|Topic Review (Newest First)
We both used names in the business to prove our point.That in these forums is inappropriate.The advise we both prove should be based on trust of what we both know and not use names.
Dirty hands experience for me started way back as a engine tester/dyno rm tech working at the Chevy engine plant in Tonn,NY under the UAW 774.I started a learning curve under the supervision of Frank Leuendowski and Gorgie Shears.Before that under the guidance of a world war II motor pool mechanic Paul Weaver.At 65 yrs old I have spend my entire life as a study in dirty hands.I have been involved in a partnership of a very successful professional race operation of over 40yrs where 20yrs of it was in 9.90 racing winning a national event and currently a TAD with nitrous that ran in the 1/8 firstname.lastname@example.com your off base in your comments.We have been involved as a business for the whole time in the partnership in sales of overstock and recondition high performance parts where it was a tradition for three yrs to have dinner with the industry leaders because of our purchases we made.
Sir as always there is two sides to a story.That has been the case about long rod vs short rods since Smoky.So moving forward given our backgrounds it should be enough when we say it is like this.Even if we don't agree about a topic,that is why forums like this one works.
I don't think in this whole exchange at anytime I disrespected you.And Richard is a friend.(Techinspector 1) who I have know for awhile.I certainly respect his knowledge that time and again he has proven in posts on two forums.But I do disagree with him from time to time.
I am going to wrap up my posts on this topic like this.We all know and believe to stroke a engine adds to it's power output.Right??. Then to add to the length of that stroke with longer rods at the very least,a mechanical lever advantage should be a given. Really a simplistic answer??. Is it more complicated than that??. Yes it is.But that debate is for another thread sometime later.
To the O/P of this thread.I sincerely apologize how this got out of hand.
Butt Dyno really that is where this technical discussion is over. So your wrong just admit it and make the world a happy place.
This discussion of long rods vs short has gone on for yrs.And will go on long after we stop talking about it.
I done with it.
Ron is posing that other side of the discussion.Just because it's Ron doesn't mean he is right.Don't exclude all the references I posted that believe a long rod is worth while.And then I am telling you it is.
We needed to swap out a 5.7 engine for a spare identical short block 6" rod.Actually used the same cam.That 6" rod engine would put on a fender consistently at the top end.Sensitive butt dyno,it just felt faster.We knew John at LPE and I am very sure he believed the worth of long rods.
Nice article Tech way to kick this thread back on track. I felt like we were off the wheels and i was kinda responsible. So thank you for that one.
Now i got to research some 5.5 rods. I bet you can spin the crap out of that 350 w the 5.5 rods from the article. There is a lot to be said about adding more rpm potential to your weak links. I really like the 2-4 more degrees more cam and still be efficent. A lot of people seem to forget na or boost n2o to nitro its all about volumetric efficency. The higer the ve the more power you make per cylinder the high rpm that ve comes in the more over all power the engine make. The very reason we run big cams and high compression. Very rarely do you get any freebies in the hp world.
What Howards explained to me was they are tired of complaints about thrust side piston wear on there 3.75 stroke 5.7 rod cranks and have stopped selling the cranks by themselves because of that.
And I do not subscribe to the 6" rod use for the street because of the ring spacers.That s why I was very happy to get the last Howards 5.7 rod crank you see in the picture.
I'll weigh in here with some thoughts....
A 400 motor will be fine on the drag strip without steam holes being drilled in the heads. On the street, where the motor will be run south of 3,000 rpm's and idle for periods of time, it is likely to create hot spots and spit out the head gasket. Above 2,500/3,000 rpm's, there is enough turbulence created in the water jackets that steam pockets cannot form.
Hopefully, understanding the rules and using a modicum of common sense will allow a racer to pass tech with a front-mounted fuel cell. The idea is to get it inside body lines on a doorslammer and hopefully behind a chassis crossmember. Altereds and diggers need further protection. Here's the rule.....
"Tanks: When permitted by class regulations, fuel tanks located outside
body and/or frame must be enclosed in a steel tube frame constructed
of minimum 1 1/4-inch O.D. x .058 chromoly or .118 mild steel tubing.
All fuel tanks must be isolated from the driver's compartment by a
firewall, completely sealed to prevent any fuel from entering the driver's
compartment. All fuel tanks must have a pressure cap and be vented
outside of body. A positive-locking screw-on fuel tank cap is mandatory
on all open-bodied cars. Insulated fuel tanks prohibited. When used,
fuel cells must have a metal box protecting the part of the fuel cell that
is outside of body lines or trunk floor, excluding hose connection area
in rear. The metal box must be constructed of minimum .024 steel or
.032 aluminum. Nonmetallic fuel cells or tanks must be grounded to
This last part of the rule probably makes no sense to some of you who have not run cells, like how do you ground plastic, but what it refers to is grounding the metal ring at the fill hole of the cell. Use a piece of 10 ga wire and crimp connectors. Any frame crossmember that is forward of the cell will work in place of the tubing protection called for in the rule, even on an open car. Take a look at any digger. All Funny Cars have front-mounted cells too. We used to be tough on firewalls. Find a very dark place, position yourself so that you can see the firewall from inside the car and have a buddy shine a very strong light on the firewall from the engine compartment. Everywhere light can shine through is a place where fuel could pass through to the driver's compartment. If that fuel was on fire, well, you get the idea. Small holes can be filled by using a fender washer on each side of the firewall with a bolt and locking nut through the middle of the washers. Larger holes will need to be welded up with patches.
Whenever the question of rod length comes up, I always refer to the articles published by Ron Iskenderian, son of the famous camfather, Ed Iskenderian......
Please read Tech Tip 2005 here....
ISKY Racing Cams - Do It Right. Race with the Legend. Camshafts, Connecting Rods, Valve Springs, Lifters
Smokey Yunick,LPE,Howards,all aftermarket blocks,GM it's self all disagree with you on the long rod question.
I still,even through I have gotten older,have the ability to listen and learn.Some guys get hard of hearing and are tough to teach.Oh well.....................maybe there is something for them still living "back in the day".
[QUOTE=hcompton;1618056]Under hood tanks go in the front in same location as battery or coolant tank.
That's where things get questionable. The rule say's... "Tank must be mounted within the frame".
If it was mounted in the battery location that would "not be within the frame" and if the car took a hit in the front the fuel tank would be in for a good hit.
OK fine i will go and visit anyone in the burn unit. Since i been there myself i got a few things to say about your comments But i will ignore that for now. But you have to promise to build an engine with 5.7 rods then dyno change nothing but the rods and dyno again. OK are we golden now. Cause i would actually go and visit a friend not sure your going to listen to reason that will take more common sense than you actually have.
Cant wait for you to find out 6 inch rods give nothing but lighter wallets. Interent crap is no good I want real dyno results like i did myself years ago when clowns like you started to say it was worth the effort.
FYI We know you do not know about dangerous fuels at all since you did not even realize deisel burns at a lower temp than gas.
|Still doing the dance avoiding the commitment I challenged you to make......
Diesel has lower octane than gasoline. It also has a lower ignition temp. Higher octane has a higher ignition temp. Diesel can ignite at 410 degrees gas is over 500 before it will catch fire.
Just like i said. Higher octane gas will have a higher ignition temp.
That cert covers nation wide,not just in DC.
Still doing the dance avoiding the commitment I challenged you to make......
A lower flash point catches fire sooner/faster.If that wasn't the case,there would be no point in running 110 race gas.A higher flash point requires more heat like the case for kerosene.Diesel fuel has a higher flash point and what makes that work is in diesel engines the extreme high compression.So you have the flash points backwards.
A fire under the hood is safer than one under the car or good forbid in the trunk. Many ppl have had fires under the hood and not gotten hurt at all. That can not be said for a gas tank fire.
Dangerous good specialist? In wash DC? Why would someone be certified in dc only. That is totally useless since dc is all office building and everything is oitside of the dc you willl need to cross state lines if moving hazmat around dc.
But if you really are certified then why is it so strange to think about keeping all volitle compunds in one secure location. That has fire resistence and a rated firewall in between the driver and dangerous area.
|For the record.Race gas's flash point is lower than pump gas.I am very sure about that being a dangerous goods specialist register in Washington,DC.

Apple Computer announced last year that starting from June 1, 2016, they would not accept any application that would not support IP V6 only networks. This is a good move from a major player that could increase the acceptance of IP V6. We understand that this protocol is also the preferred choice for telco operator that are getting headeache dealing with IP V4 exhausion.
As a company operating services based on SIP protocol, migrating to IP V6 end to end for us would be of a great benefit: it would eventually enable us to remove NAT and SIP ALG from the communication path. Both mechanism are often not fit for SIP / RTP sessions and their implementation is often broken.
So we have to rely on the NAT46 provided by the mobile operator
We advocated this to Apple but


text: I love the ones I built, I can carry 3 out into the field over my shoulder and the ducks and recievers, they throw about twice as far as the standard gunners up or zinger winger. I absolutely love the Train-Rite release mechanism I used it works great with electronics and it is actually easier to launch manually than the kicker wingers. Nothing like a winger that will chuck a duck over 60 yards. I can also throw ducks just 10 yards or inbetween lengths, Drawbacks are most men cannot just pull down pouch like they can on Zingers or Gunners up, but must unhook the rubbers first and dogs that bounce of the gunners on marks must actually learn to mark the BIRD not the gunner. The Train-Rite release is also nice because it does not have a servo to fail, and it is very easy to remove primers from if you get one that swells unlike Zingers. The ones I built throw about the same as the $600 Zinger Hunt Tester at about 1/2 the cost.

Shares of ARM Holdings (ARMH) are down $1.85, or 4.3%, at $40.58 as the stock receives its second downgrade in two days, based on the stock's rise in valuation and what may be overly optimistic expectations.
Yesterday, Piper Jaffray's Gus Richard, cut his rating on the shares to Neutral from Overweight, while maintaining his $40 price target, writing that "While there maybe some upside to estimates, we do not believe it is enough to justify a higher price target" and "even for a dominant franchise, shares are currently fairly valued" at 35 times his 2014 estimates.
Richard's point is that a payoff on royalties from ARM's dominance will take time:
While we have little doubt that ARM will be the dominant microprocessor architecture in an increasing number of product categories, world domination takes time. ARM's most recent product introductions address servers, embedded systems and communication infrastructure. While the licensing portion of the revenue will show up in the model this year, a material impact to the royalty line is many years away.
Today, Morgan Stanley's Francois Meunier cut his rating to Equal Weight from Overweight, writing "While 12 months ago investors were worried about ARM's position vs Intel, we believe the current share price implies a near perfect trajectory in ARM's market share and royalty rate for the next two years."
Everything hoped for has come true for ARM, writes Meunier, including stuff like Apple (AAPL) introducing the iPad mini, and the ultrabook machines promoted by Intel (INTC) not panning out as expected.
But that means "it will be difficult for news flow to improve from here."
The stock has returned to a high in terms of its forward P/E, he writes, and "it will be difficult for ARM to grow into its multiples," he thinks.

Ofcourse being closer to family and friends is great, but now i am tied up in a job that takes up a hell of a lot of my time and i keep thinking about all the great times i had when i was away. So i still plan another trip, when, where, who knows.
I thought i'd add a quick note, one because i can't sleep (dam insomnia) and two cos i haven't for a while, and for some wierd reason i think people might like to know what i'm upto!(one can hope)....
So, i now work for a large mobile telecoms company, the hours are long, well is say long they are irregular. i work from home (ps in sales) and make my own appointments, so when i have appointments i have a little drive to somewhere in the North West of England and hopefully sign a deal to earn some money, the time comes in when at night and at weekends i am doing proposals and presentations for the week ahead etc
But, the rewards are there, it is a pretty well paid job, this is one of the reasons im still kicking about Manchester, if came home to a job with less pay and prospects. i think i would have already been on a flight out again! But i'm going to stick it for the short foreseable future. mabye a year or two, earn some money, invest some, then enjoy some! and most probably start the whole process all over again.
I am currently renting a house with my best mate Rick, which is pretty sweet, its a 4-bed semi and with just two of us, there is plenty of room for guests and partys! (drop me a line if anyones in town!) we had a firework display the other week for november 5th, (bonfire night) it was a good spread. we spent about �120 (i think) on fireworks!!!! but well worth it, ours were the best by far, not only in the streets around but in the whole sky! they were awsome....
My gym routine is thankfully getting back on track, although i'm finding it tougher than i thought it would be to get back into prestine shape before i left last october!!!(yeah right) it came in handy sunday with one almighty hangover, which i spent in the saunas and jacuzzi's recovering from one hell of a session in Blackpool.
Jade has seaked revenge on me! She has decided to go on a trip herself, currently in Vietnam, with plans of ending up in south america. i should of joined her, but back to the job thing, it was to much of a good thing to throw away. so i sit waiting as she did for me!
My mate Thom and I, (who i met in Coogee) plan a jaunt over to thailand/vietnam for christmas and new year hopefully, although not booked were both keen to get over there, hopefully to meet Jade and also to kick back for a couple of weeks.
Well, now i am tired, so gonna put my head down now, i hopefully will get some pics of whats going on in my life at the moment on soon, so stay posted! lol

Electric Outage Causes
Lightning, ice storms and storms with high winds can cause severe damage that can
lead to power outages. When an object, such as a tree limb, comes in contact with
a power line, circuit breakers or other protective equipment shut off the flow of
power. Customers connected to that circuit will be without power until crews can
remove the object and reset the equipment.
During severe weather, trees may be uprooted and fall onto the power lines, which may cause damage to lines and poles. When this damage occurs, Vectren crews have to completely rebuild the infrastructure, which can be time consuming work and may cause you to be without power for longer periods of time. Furthermore, damage to electrical equipment is not always obvious or immediately visible. Crews must inspect the lines and equipment to locate the specific area in need of repair.
Small animals that climb on equipment, such as transformers or fuses, can cause the equipment to shut down. By shutting down, the equipment protects the rest of the system to prevent widespread outages.
Wind or Tornadoes
High winds or fallen trees may cause power lines to touch and short out, causing an outage. Wind may also blow tree limbs or entire trees onto the power lines, causing the lines to fall to the ground and possibly even break the lines and poles.
Lightning strikes can hit electrical equipment, causing you to lose power. Lightning can also strike trees, which may fall onto power lines and cause outages.
Ice storms create a buildup of ice on power lines and on trees. The weight of the ice can cause tree limbs and entire trees to fall onto power lines; and the weight, if it accumulates on the power lines, can cause poles to break as well.
Heavy rains can cause flooding in certain areas. Floods can cause damage to both a bove-ground and underground electrical equipment. In some cases, Vectren may have to shut down service to prevent major damage to the equipment.
Vehicle and Construction Accidents
Vehicle accidents are a common cause of power outages. They can result in broken poles, causing power lines to break or touch. Accidental contact with underground or overhead power lines at construction sites can also cause power outages.

Why dealers need to address the length of closing times
In the space of about six weeks this winter, my wife and I bought two new cars. The reason for this splurge was exactly what industry-watchers have predicted: Old, wheezing cars eventually need to be replaced.
In our case, two vehicles in our household fleet of three (self, wife, daughter) reached the end of the road. The shopping process was pretty painless. We narrowed down our choices online, both in terms of vehicle and price, and wrapped up the deal at the store.
But there was one problem at both dealerships: It takes an inordinate amount of time to close a car deal. I didn't run a stopwatch, but it seemed to me that it literally takes less time to close on a home than a new car.
In both cases, finance was the pinch point -- both in hearing about the loan rates the dealership can offer and, later on, getting the F&I sales pitch.
You had a single F&I person to whom several salespeople were funneling customers, and so at both places we heard some variation of, "This looks good, you'll just have to wait a few minutes to talk to our finance person."
And then we would sit for a half-hour, feeling precious Saturday afternoon time drain away. We wandered around and looked at cars we had no interest in buying, drummed our fingers, looked at stuff on our phones, and so on. When we finally got to the F&I office, we were significantly less enthusiastic -- and less receptive -- than we might have been.
Again, these were basically good buying experiences. We dealt with intelligent, low-pressure folks. The stores were modern in both their facilities and their business practices.
But there's an opportunity here. You don't want to cheese your customers off, however slightly. Dealers who can streamline the closing process will gain an advantage.

Take heart ... your home is now worth as much as it was in ... 2003 ... just 9 years ago. I say that with tongue in cheek.
From RIS MediaWhile this study shows that prices are up 1.2%, that would mean about $2400 on a $200,000 home. Truthfully, that may not mean a whole lot, since selling prices or asking prices don't usually reveal "seller assist with closing costs" ... and we see a lot of that in our current market. People are still buying homes when they don't have enough $ to cover their closing costs (such things as title insurance, tax & insurance escrows, 1st year of HO insurance) Those costs run about 4-5% of purchase price (generally). So, someone buying on an FHA loan with 3.5% down will have a total outlay of about 7.5% to 8.5%.Home Prices Rebound to 2003 Levels
By Zoe Eisenberg
More great market news came through yesterday: According to S&P/Case-Shiller, in July, the average home price rose to the same level as those seen during summer 2003, when the housing boom first started its journey toward the 2006 peak. While this may not signify that we are currently standing on the cusp of a market boom, it does show a significant turnaround, and perhaps hints at a definite end to real estate's bleak streak. The recent S&P/Case-Shiller national home price index showed that in July, prices increased by 1.5 percent for the 10-City Composite and by 1.6 percent for the 20-City Composite.
It may very well be that the low interest rates are prodding people to buy now, even when they are short on cash up front.


text: I had some luck finding Hawkman recently as the local Target had 2 of him, as well as 2 Mr. Miracles. I don't think I'll be having much more luck there, however, as they only had a single peg with the DCUC tag on it and it can only fit 4 figures at a time. There is only one Wal-Mart around here that is carrying DCUC, and they had nothing when I finally got to get over there. What is the point of whining for an exclusive wave if so many of your stores don't carry it?

Beautiful fit. The ol lady loved it.
- Leather is alot thinner then expected - Snaps are on the lower end they are not sturdy also thin. I can see problems in the future. - Longer in the discription is misleading. Unless you were looking for a vest to show off your wifes midsection. This vest does not cover much more. Length of vest sits right at her belt line.

He is a single parent and they gave him 2 days notice... No choice. Had to leave his child with the ex's parents. They told him he may be down there for two months or more. They are scrambling now... A little late. Imagine if it had been a republican administration.

This thumbs-up sandwich has chicken, avocado, and Swiss cheese accented with a mustard-maple-mayo spread.
Shallots are in the onion family but have a milder flavor than onions. They are usually purplish in color and add a sweet yet savory zing to this sandwich.
Avocados are often sold when underripe. Plan ahead for this recipe; if your avocado doesn't yield to gentle pressure from your finger, leave it on your countertop for a few days to completely ripen.
