Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula®, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple™, Mega-Kid Multiple™, Inflama-Rest™, the Skin Eternal™ line, Higher Mind™, Essential Enzymes™, Male Response™, and more.

Re: Looking at a Alberg 35
20 hp is adequate for the boat's displacement unless water skiing is your thing. Should maneuver without other than the typical full keel issues around the marina. Might be a bit challenged going directly into strong winds and seas. Owned a W32 for years with a Volvo MD2 diesel. Something like 24hp to push the 20,000#s around. It was over propped, wouldn't reach max RPM in flat water, so was challenged beating into headsea and strong wind but we almost never encountered those conditions. When we wanted to go against wind and waves, motor sailed easily doing 5k about 35 degrees off the wind with the engine at about 1500 rpm. Current boat is daughter of the Alberg35, the Pearson 35. Similar displacement though a bit more water line. Does have a 3GM30 in it which I think is officially 27hp. Similarly maneuvering challenged but never use full throttle in the Marina or anywhere else for than matter.
Full keel boat designs typically have slack bilges, the classic white wine glass shape. They are designed this way to cut down on wetted surface for better light air performance. It makes the boat initially tender heeling to 15 degrees in light air typically. The benefit is they stiffen up once that far over and have much greater ultimate stability than the modern flat bottomed boats. Since these boats are typically heavier displacement, they are much more comfortable at sea or choppy conditions. As others have said, the short water line, longish overhangs are relics of the CCA rule. Made for beautiful boats that sail well once the boat is heeled and able to take advantage of the longer water line from the over hangs. Light air isn't their forte because of the wetted surface. Boats will sail in light air though not as well as boats with markedly less wetted surface. Once the wind perks up, will sail with fin keelers and even drop them astern in even heavier winds. Worst thing you can say about the CCA boats is you have to pay slip fees for those overhangs.
These boats all seem to develop hull caused weather helm as speed increases. I love it but then the self steering vane does most of my steering. Find the tiller way easier to steer with the weather helm than a wheel. So much so I ditched the wheel on the P35. Keep the big main for light air performance. Set the boat up for easy reefing if you want to reduce weather helm in higher winds/boat speed. Have run all the Main Sail controls to the cockpit. With the double line reefing, can reef in a minute from the comfort and safety of the cockpit.

Don't pinch or you will just go sideway. Keep her driving.
In light air she does fine. Ghosting through the lulls. But you cant pinch her!
She is heavy and will ghost through the lulls.
You will never get her to back anywhere but into the wind unless you get good with using propwash and prop walk. With a big rudder and a blast from prop wash you can usually do alright.
Has a universal.m35 in her and i wouldnt go smaller.
She is not a floating condo like a modern 35 footer. But she will sleep more people than you really want to cruise her with.
We would load 3kids and my wife and I and go cruise. But I would not do that with 5 adults! Maybe 4 for a weekend.
Or 2 for a month.
Lots of drawers, cubbies and hidden pockets for storage. Lots of room in keel for water tanks and a real bilge.
Formica isn't the greatest but it is maintenance free. Enough wood trim to make her look good. I think of painting the panels but simply cant bring myself to do it. worried about scratches.
The liner would not need to come out to remove the toe rails.
Nice bulwark that provides great footing. Nice wood toe rail.
Cockpit is not huge and tiller does take up some room.
Decent sized fixed ports for light below.
4 opening ports and 2 dorades for good ventilation. No seahood over companionway hatch.
Even if the balsa core has some water the inner and outer skins are massive compared to modern construction.
The glass in the hull is very thick and uses cloth with no chopper gun tigers anywhere.
Chain plates are big and visible and bolted to major plywood bulkheads.
The thing is a beast.
Rig is simple and overbuilt too.
You will always smile as you approach her, you will always turn back for one last look as you leave and you will almost always get compliments !
Weather Helm: Yes. I often sail with the first reef in the main and a 135% jib, that seems to generally cure the weather helm. I have oldish sails, I'm sure new ones would help.
Sailing: Like others have said, she heels right away, then stays there. Nothing seems to stop her, she cuts through waves, and as long as reasonably handled, feels safe and secure. Once she hits her preferred heel, she's on rails. I have a wheel with an autopilot and with the sails balanced, the weather helm is minimal enough under 15 knots wind to work.
Under power/docking: I have a Yanmar 3gm30 with 600 hours. It took a while to learn about prop walk; now I see it as an advantage. I back out of the slip. This was terrifying at first but someone taught me this trick: I run a long floating line from a stern cleat to a cleat on the portside finger pier to a mid-ship cleat on the port side. Put the boat in gear, slowly back out, slacking the line until we are about half way out. Turn the rudder appropriately and harden up on the line. The boat pivots; I release the stern cleat and pull in quickly on the line. As the bow come about 30 deg to the straight line out, put her in forward, burst power, and off we go. I can do this maneuver single handed now.
Coming into the dock, as someone said, everything has to be planned, everything is done slowly. My biggest failures are docking; I tend to lose way too fast. The theory is that I grab a spring line as we come in, but it hasn't always worked.
I do, as the poster said, find I always look back when I leave the marina.
Re: Looking at a Alberg 35
I'm Jim, my Alberg 35 is Pendragon. I believe she is a 1965 boat but I don't have a hull number and I've never been able to find anything that tells me how to certainly identify it. It's not on the boat title papers.
Pendragon was previously owned by James Schnittker, who kept her in Baltimore, at Anchorage Marina. We bought the slip with the boat, so she's staying there. Apparently a previous owner had her in Chicago, because that's the city on her stern.
Original wooden boom which I find a pain...soooo heavy. Slab reefing, roller furling 130% jib. Yanmar 3g30 diesel. Learning about the diesel has been a big part of the last few months (we bought her in July, 2014).
We have the "traditional" lay out: settees on both sides in the main cabin, icebox starboard, galley port. A previous owner built a beautiful chart table between the galley and the port settee. There is no hot water, which was apparently originally standard. We haven't really tried the shower other than to turn it on, make a mess, and say "ok, that works."
I love sailing her and although I'm still mastering the mystery of backing her out of the slip and getting her back, she sails like a dream. Fast isn't always the goal. Fun is.
Re: Looking at a Alberg 35
Mine's the same way. There was what looked like the remnants of a shower sump pump down there but it's so inaccessible that it's just not a good place for one there under the shower base. Mine is piped w/ 1-1/2" right to the bilge next to the bilge pump. Works fine. If there were a bunch of people using it on a regular basis, it would probably need some sort of screen.
Re: Looking at a Alberg 35
Noticed that the shower drain on the boat in the OP simply terminates under the shower pan as the photo shows. In the boats drawings, I see that it is supposed to drain to a sump. I guess that as shown in the picture, the water simply runs around the water storage tank, to the bilge.
I assume the seller was not using the shower, especially given the fact he has not seen fit to even install a auto bilge pump in the boat!
In any case, were did the original sump drain, and is it necessary?
Re: Looking at a Alberg 35
There is room for a much larger engine but the old engine mounts need to be cut away and new, wider mounts glassed in. It's a pretty big job. That's probably why they went with a smaller engine. Kinda like the tail wagging the dog
Re: Looking at a Alberg 35
The 27 would definitely fit. That's the same engine I have in Auriga. Beta and Universal both use the Kubota D1005. I have plenty of space in the engine room to work. From the picture it looks like they kept the original engine beds and put some aluminum bar to accommodate the extra width of the mounts. It would have been much better to cut out the engine beds and glass in new beds the proper width. Looks like the aluminum is lag bolted to the engine beds which is not a good idea either. Would have been better to through-bolt steel angle or something of the sort. I doubt shaft length was an issue as someone suggested on the diesel forum. Looks like there is room to move the mounts fore or aft on those aluminum plates. That was probably the largest engine they could get on those original beds. I've seen an A35 with a 35 hp engine so engine room space is not the issue.
Story of my life...It's too big!
Asked the seller why he went with a 20hp motor. He replied that he bought a 27 but it "wouldn't fit in the hull" so they went with the 20. Hard to believe that with all this space (gotta love the access!) they couldn't make a 27 fit.
He claims 20hp is plenty, especially since it's a diesel (there is that diesel vs. gas hp thing again). Yet, he also said he didn't think he was using the extra hp with the A4 anyway. Not that it matters, she's got 20hp and that's that. But it does throw the credibility of the claim that 20's plenty into question.
Would have made more sense if he said, "We never used all the power from the A4, so we decided on 20hp for the refit.
Conditions could be benign during a sea trial and it might be hard to determine if she's under powered.
You guys buying the "wouldn't fit" excuse?
Edit: After I posted this, I decided to post the same question in the diesel forum.
Re: Looking at a Alberg 35
I don't know when they started with aluminum booms. If the wood booms actually weight over 100#, it was probably a good idea. The aluminum boom weighs maybe 60#. The reason people are shortening the booms is because of the weather helm issue but you are absolutely right that doing it would also lose the square footage for light air. These boats were competitive in their day and were used by a lot of club racing so they were maxxed out to specs as far as sails go. My mast still has the luff marks that indicated maximum luff length to meet race measurements. Something else to mention to folks thinking about an A35 is that they are slow as molasses compared to modern designs. That said, I remember one day heading over from the CC Canal across the bay when some of the more modern designs turned tail as the waves got larger. The old A35 took 'em in stride. I had waves breaking into the cockpit at times but she never missed a beat.
Sailnet is a great resource but there seem to be few people who ever access the Alberg thread. I see Alberg 35s wherever I go. There are still many in service. There are individual blogs and it's easy to web search for info but a central location to create a database of projects, what works and doesn't (such as boom shortening) and useful information as well as reviews on equipment, etc. would be helpful. The question above about when the boom changed would likely be available.

Philyria has one of those useless roller booms. I slab reef but like the boom because it is a hefty chunk of aluminum. The roller mechanism is a waste. They were a bad idea from the git-go. Am seriously considering shortening the boom by about a foot and have actually recut a cruising main to fit a shortened boom. Once my big, battened, roached main is worn out, the next new one will be on a shorter boom.
I've been on the Yahoo group site but few people seem to use it. It would be nice to have a good official A35 site where details of projects and boat-specific info. could be shared. I see a lot of A35s on the water and can't believe the interest is not there if a website were maintained.
What is the advantage to going with a shorter boom over simply reefing early and having the extra sail for light air?
Regarding owners sites: Yankee made less than 140 Yankee 30's (my boat)before they went out of business, most of which are still sailing. I've found the owners site next to useless, do to lack of participation, and have derived much more value from Sailnet. On the other hand, I'm envious of the Erickson owners site. They were very helpful with a Ericson project I was looking at. So, I guess there is strength in numbers! As I understand it, The A35 is the same boat as the A/E 35 with the exception of 500 pounds less ballast and the coach top design on the Ericson, so it might be a valuable resource. I think they would welcome you. Very active site, great people!

text: That price is actually pretty good from what I've seen. They are very sexy looking guns, and yes they are all metal. I loved the feel of them, the trigger reach was a little long for me in DA but I have small hands. They're known to be very reliable guns. There are many guns out there that copy the CZ75 model.

'Super Soldiers'
Maintaining the memory of a comrade in arms
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News | July 26. 2013 9:46PM
Veterans Michael Murphy, left, and Curt Payne take a break for a picture while working with Steven Galloway (background) of Giant Landscaping at Veterans Park in Manchester on Friday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
Manchester veterans Mike Murphy and Curt Payne were on a mission.
Brooks was killed on Nov. 28, 2004, after a roadside bomb exploded near his Humvee in Baghdad, Iraq. It was his sixth-month wedding anniversary.
It's easy to overlook the small plaque set into the ground beneath a young maple tree, not far from the city's brick World War II memorial. Brooks' mother, Rose Marois, had paid for the granite marker after her son's death.
Sprucing up the memorial for Brooks, Murphy said, was about "making sure people don't forget about him, making sure people stop and look."
He figures he has volunteered about 30 hours a week with Payne this summer, cleaning up litter and removing graffiti in city parks.
When Murphy recently noticed the grass and litter obscuring the small memorial plaque placed in Brooks' honor, he contacted his former boss at Giant Landscaping to ask for a little help.
"We thought it was the right thing to do," Rahe said. "We wanted to clean it up a little bit for his mother and put a couple plants around it."
She was touched, she said, to know that her son's friends haven't forgotten him nearly nine years after his death. "Adam knows he's loved," she said. "I know he's looking down."
Steven Galloway Jr., who works for Giant Landscaping, said he was happy to help Murphy and Payne. He's the son of a Desert Storm Air Force veteran.
Curt Payne served in the Army from 1997 to 2000. He's been disabled with a brain injury since a car crash on Aug. 29, 2001, that nearly killed him and left him in a coma.
Peter Capano, chief of parks for the city's Parks, Recreation and Cemeteries Division, said Murphy has done a good job cleaning up litter in some of the city's public places. He noted Manchester has an adopt-a-site program that has gotten folks involved in planting and painting projects in other parks.
But he said, "We're happy to have help."

Some species of diatoms simply float in the water currents near the surface. Others attach themselves to larger floating objects or to the sea floor. When diatoms die, they slowly sink to the sea floor. The buildup of trillions of these shells forms a crumbly white sediment known as diatomaceous earth or diatomite, which is used in manufacturing pool filters and abrasives, including toothpaste.

I am doing a bit of catchup here, but take a look at this.
According to IDG Newswire in InfoWorld (http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/02/06/HNtexasminnodf_1.html ), Texas (by Sept 2008) and Minnesota (by July 2008) are moving towards adopting ODF (Open Document Format). "Minnesota State Senator Don Betzold, confirmed that his state's bill was written with ODF in mind. 'ODF is the standard intended,' he said. 'It is my goal to make sure that the public has access to electronic documents in the years to come and that we do not have to rely on licensing agreements or code access.' "
Also, based on appeal from standards bodies such as British Standards Institution (http://www.computing.co.uk/itweek/news/2174488/open-xml-hits-further-problems ), ISO Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC1) has added 3 more months and has given Ecma time till end of February to respond to the contradictions filed by 20 nations (http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=20070206145620473 ) about Microsoft's 6000 page OO-XML (http://www.odfalliance.org/resources/OfficeOpenXMLFactSheet.pdf ).

While everyone knows that armored leather is the best safety garment you can wear, we all know someone who is guilty of wearing just a t-shirt in the hottest summer months. The Draggin' Shirt can easily slip over your t-shirt to give you some excellent abrasion protection.
The Draggin' Shirt boasts a longer cut in the length and arms to accommodate the riding position for men and women. This high tech shirt also incorporates Velcro® tabs to adjust the cuffs thereby preventing riding up and flapping in the wind. Most importantly the Draggin' Shirt has two layers of Kevlar® in the shoulders and elbows.
Each Draggin' Shirt is handmade in the USA! The natural color of Kevlar® is canary yellow. Once it is exposed to sunlight it will deepen to a goldenrod shade. Slight variation in color (as well as the color change) is not only normal, but to be expected.
Please note: This garment is designed to be trim fitting. You may want to order one size larger than normal for a more relaxed fit.

On senior day in 2011, the Red Raiders played possibly the worst game in the history of the program, falling 66-6 to the No. 2 Oklahoma State Cowboys. This time around, Tech will be seeking for a little revenge.
Seth Doege, during Monday's press conference, talked a little bit about how embarrassing that loss was in 2011.
"It was an embarrassment, I think, for the entire program," he said. "I mean, they were probably the better football team last year, but there was no reason that it should have been that lopsided. I didn't play-I probably played one of my worst games I've ever played, and the defense didn't play a very good game either. It was just all around. It was just a terrible football game by us. Definitely an embarrassment. But we're a totally different football team than we were last year. I don't think we'll lay an egg like that ever again."
While this Saturday's game will be a tough test from the Pokes, No. 23 Texas Tech knows what they need to do in order to maintain focus in a place like Stillwater, OK.
In Doege's career, the Tech gunslinger has a winning record on the road, with his marquee victory coming last season against then-No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners, 41-38.
The team knows what kind of challenges will be presented in an atmosphere like Boone Pickens Stadium.
"Yeah, they have these paddles and they hit these mats the whole time. It's loud," Doege said. "They get into the game and like you said, the fans are right on top of you. I'm sure everybody knows they love to talk to you and say things to you. But that's what makes it fun. I think something about this football team really enjoys a challenge like that."
Doege isn't the only one looking for a little redemption against No. 24 Oklahoma State.
"I try to wash that out of my mind. That was a tough one, man," senior safety D.J. Johnson said. "I've never in my wildest dreams even or nightmares even imagined getting beat like that, you know what I mean? I know what this team is capable of, and that was just a difficult loss. Nothing, it seemed like nothing was going right that entire season. It seemed every ball bounced the opposite way. We couldn't just get it, and that has an effect. A lot of people don't know, but this senior class hasn't gotten a victory against Oklahoma State as well. People focused on like the UTs and things like that, but Oklahoma State has been a good football team for some time now.
"They started to get credit and get respect, and it's about time they get their respect. But it's going to influence us or impact us to make us want to go out there and grind harder, go out there and play to the best of our ability. We remember what happened last year, and we definitely want to make sure that that doesn't occur again. If possible, we want to reverse it, and make it occur the other way."

Aryan Brotherhood 'General' Pleads Guilty
A self-styled 'general' in the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas prison based gang could be spending what's left of his life in federal prison, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Charles Lee Roberts, 71, admitted to one count of conspiracy and racketeering, and with being a member of the criminal enterprise.
Prosecutors say Roberts enforced its rules and promoted discipline through murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to murder, arson, assault, robbery, and threats.
Roberts is one of several ABT members whose arrest at one point was investigated as potentially being connected to the murder of two prosecutors in Kaufman County, southeast of Dallas. Officials have since determined that the suspects in those murders, and the murder of the district attorney's wife, were a disgraced former judge and his wife. The judge had lost his job after being convicted of theft.

This is an excellent article on the cemeteries that existed in Victorian London. It's always a problem finding out where your London ancestors got to rest their bones as many of the churchyards had closed well before the 1855 act closing them all. The chances are that they were buried in one of the large cemeteries that ring London such as Highgate, Kensal Green or Abney Park.

text: I ran across this site the other day and am amazed. I love making costumes and props but have such trouble finding good information about specifics and materials. I was wondering if some one would take a few minutes and explain a coulpe things. First, if I wanted to make a prop gun, how would I go about doing it. I have a little skill in casting with laytex, but byond that im lost. I would like to know what would be a good material to do make the gun out of, something thats strong, but not brittle and such. How would I go about casting something like that? Any information on this would be very appreciated. Lastly, if materials are named, where could purchases them, and whats good to look for ( as i said above, I know nothing about plastics, resins, silicon, and fiberglass (but i wanna learn)). (Direct links would be kind of nice to, because I dont know exactilly what im looking at ) Thanks for all your help.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by markie8002000, Jun 17, 2009.
Report: Detroit Pistons promised $11 million to Ben Gordon - Full-Court Press
Gordon's Sprocket Points justified salary for last year was $8.3mm, which would have made him the 68th most highly paid player in the league. He's got a ways to go to merit $11mm. The interesting thing is that Salmons ranked just above Gordon in Sprocket Points despite playing three fewer games (though 20 more minutes overall). And he is signed for reasonable dollars for two more seasons, and can also play the three, and defends.
Two words Sam Smith
Two words Kwame Brown
Looks like Hamilton might be moving. Why not move him to Denver for Birdman and Anthony Carter ? Denver would not even hesitate to pull the trigger if it means uniting Billups with Hamilton for one more Championship run. Denver line up could be Billups, Hamilton, Camelo, Nene, and Martin.
You're right, he was worthless during the season so why not dump him.
You don't think we could get a whole lot moe for Rip?? Birdman and Carter? I'd pass on that deal all day long.
No JR Smith?
Although he is not a three-point threat Hamilton is a talented 6'7 2-guard. We have Stuckey and Hamilton. Why would we be messing with the SG position? If it was our problem an undersized shooting guard is not the fix. If we play Stuckey and Gordon together Stuckey would have to guard 2 guards. I like the scoring that Bynum and Gordon would bring together but that would leave us with short and shorter on the defensive end. That would not be a bad idea if we had a serious shot-blocker waiting in the lane. Gordon is worth $8 mil. $9 mil is over-paying in my opinion. Pistons promise Gordon $11 Mil? First, if your one of few teams with deep pockets this summer nobody would risk negotiating with free agents before July 1st. Second, giving $11 Mil for Gordon would reduce our chances of landing a Milsap, Turkoglu or Boozer for that matter. If anything, this is a smoke screen for something else!
Ben Gordon? ...no thanx. Wait a year and get Joe Johnson.
Whatever happened to the Hamilton who could shoot threes? He shot 46% and 44% in 05-06 and 07-08, but 30%, 34% and 37% around those years. That 46% would put him at the top of the league this past season.
SG is the only position on the team where we have a recent all-star currently under contract. So, why all the effort to replace him with another borderline all-star? Our positions of need: PG- we have a streaky youngster with no jump shot. SF- we have a glue guy. PF- we have no returning starter here except for Amir, who everyone thinks sucks (including the sucky coach). C- cricket sounds...
Now that's what I'm talking about, Joe Johnson is a REAL player to be sought after!!! I respect gordon's game and clutch shooting but he still only has pg size and frankly just doesn't seem worth it in my humble opinion. Give me a legit STUD sg or a legit big man with that type of money... Just sounds like repeating the A.I. mistake/debacle all over again just with a better jumpshot and a little higher hoops I.Q.
Skeets covered this too: Suicide lines: Love tweets McHale out, Ben Gordon, Shaq ... - Ball Don't Li... - NBA - Yahoo! Sports And, this comment sums up my feelings on this trade:
Who would you rather have shooting a three? Rashard Lewis career average of 39% or Hamilton? By the way Hamilton has a 35% career average. I like Hamilton he is our most talented player. Were missing other pieces.
Is it a trick question?
Rip was one of the few guys that did legitimately spread the court for us last year... Rodney & A.I. combo with no outside shooting skills just let most teams play a tight compact zone against us daring them to shoot. Richard was cash money on 3's last season from those baseline corners to my recollection! Actually probably the only guy who shot a better 3pt percentage than rip last season was Aaron Afflalo.
I expected this move especially after that Boston-Chicago series. Gordon is a pure scorer. There are very few of those in the NBA and the NBA is all about offense after the Stern rules. Gordon is young--very important in this league. If Gordon comes, obviously, a trade with Rip is at hand. I expect a major overhaul of the roster in any case.

Obama attempts to spin his record
posted at 3:23 pm on March 9, 2011 by Bruce McQuain
It is something – the difference between rhetoric and reality – I don't think Obama understands, for all the claims about his intelligence. Just because you claim something is true doesn't make it so (I know, something most of us learned around age 6).
In a speech in Boston – at a fund raiser:
Obama says that America should not be about the "haves and the have-nots."
Didn't know that it is, but this is a comfortable and popular theme among the limo liberal crowd, so it isn't surprising the old horse was trotted out one more time. But let me set the scene for you:
President Obama addressed a group of 152 Democratic donors at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The walls were lined with enormous original oil portraits from the 16th century and guests are seated around about 24 round tables.
Lots of "have nots" in that room weren't there?
But that isn't the major point here –I just wanted you to understand the context of the next part. To add to the surreal atmosphere there he said this:
In welcoming Nancy Pelosi, Obama called her "someone who's going to go down as one of the greatest Speakers in our history: Nancy Pelosi."
"When the rubble had cleared, when the dust had settled. This country was going through as touch a time economically, as tough a time financially, as any period since the 1930s," Obama said..
His administration "had to make a series of quick decisions, and often times unpopular decisions," Obama said.
In those times, Obama said, there would have been a temptation to "resort to the expedient."
"That's why when I say, Nancy is going to go down as one of our finest speakers… I mean what I say," Obama continued.
"Not only were we able to yank this economy out of the recession," Obama said.
"Not only were we able to get this economy going again, that in the last 15 months we've seen the economy add jobs…but under Nancy's leadership we were able to achieve historic health care legislation that over the last 15, 20 years will end up benefiting millions of families across the country… we were able to get "don't ask, don't' tell" repealed," he continued, adding that Congress expand our investments in clean energy, made the largest investments in infrastructure and the largest investments in education in years.
"We didn't just rescue the economy we put it on the strongest footing for the future," Obama said.
"And along the way we saved the auto industry and a few other things," he quipped, to some laughter from the crowd.
Obama went over a kept promise to end combat in Iraq, and reduce the country's military commitment in Afghanistan.
Where to start?!
Suffice it to say, anyone who could tout Nancy Pelosi as the "greatest Speakers in our history" either has the ideological blinders on so tight they're cutting off blood flow to the brain or has a rather tenuous grasp on reality. Nancy Pelosi, if anything positive could be said about her, was a compliant means to an end. Someone from the short bus should have been able to push through just about anything they wanted in Nancy Pelosi's House, given the huge majority Democrats had.
And she was complicit in the biggest expansion of government, not to mention the largest expansion of the public debt, of any Speaker I know.
Great? For America, she was a disaster. And so is the person fawningly praising her.
As for his other claims, well that's just what they are … claims. He'd like you to believe them because doing so helps his case come 2012, but what you see here is a sort of test run of how he plans on spinning his record – something he's never had to run on before.
Each and every point is either highly debatable or can be refuted outright. I got a kick out of one of the commenters under the linked story addressing his Iraq claim about ending combat:
If you think Obama stopped combat here, you are stunningly gullible.
Our guys are out on patrol every day and night amid the IEDs and VBIEDs. Our specops forces are operating outside the wire every day and night. The mortars and rockets are hitting our FOBs on a very regular basis. Purple Hearts are still being issued, including two on my FOB in January when a 107mm rocket landed across the street in one of my buddy's men's huts.
You live in Fantasyland, but thanks for the laugh.
The last line pretty much sums up the 152 liberal Democrats in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts last night sitting there listening to a litany of "accomplishments" that are straight out of Fantasyland.
Doubling the debt, multi-year trillion dollar deficits, expanded government, expanded spending, 9% unemployment and a jobs record that won't even maintain the status quo. Clueless about foreign policy, no energy policy, Gitmo still open, still in Iraq and little to show but another huge entitlement we can't afford.
That's the record he's compiled. And Nancy helped.
That is the record you need to remember.

Organizers of annual yoga event espouse multiple benefits to novices, experts
By BARBARA TAORMINA
Sunday News Correspondent | May 03. 2014 1:24AM
Instructors make the rounds among the participants at last year's NH Yoga for Peace in Nashua. (JESSICA LABBE PHOTO)
And they share that message every year at NH Yoga for Peace, a daylong public celebration of yoga, health, well-being and community.
There also will be lectures on other aspects of health and well-being, as well as music, dance and food. Admission to NH Yoga for Peace is free, but donations are welcome. Any money raised will be used to support YogaCaps' Volunteer Corps, which provides free yoga classes to cancer patients, seniors, veterans and patients at the Greater Nashua Mental Health Center. Donations also will help fund a group of Merrimack High students who plan to attend Peace Jam, a youth-oriented social justice conference organized by 13 Nobel Peace laureates.
Roseann Latona of White Swan Yoga in Manchester will be back on board for a third year at Yoga for Peace, offering a class in gentle yoga for beginners and people recovering from injury.
Growing popularity
Latona acknowledged there are still people who resist yoga because they don't think they can bend themselves into difficult postures or because they don't understand how it can bolster health.
According to a 2012 study by Yoga Journal, more than 20 million Americans now practice yoga, with another 44 million describing themselves as aspiring practitioners who feel yoga may be the answer to better health, greater flexibility and reduced stress.
Jay Gupta, who is a professional pharmacist, said the idea behind YogaCaps is that people can treat and manage many chronic diseases with a regimen of yoga rather than daily doses of drugs. Gupta said he has worked with patients who, through yoga, have been able to reduce or even eliminate the need for traditional medications for high blood pressure and diabetes.
Gupta believes that yoga can work with traditional medicine and offer better results. Science is starting to catch up and provide evidence for skeptics who feel they can depend on a prescription of pills more than a routine of stretches and breathing exercises, he said.
Harvard Medical School psychiatrist John Denninger is leading a five-year study on how yoga affects genes and brain activity in the chronically stressed. Denninger already has published a study on how yoga's mind-body techniques can switch off some genes responsible for stress and immune function.
While the Guptas' focus is on therapeutic yoga, the classes and lectures at Yoga for Peace are for a broader audience.
Katie O'Connell of Dragonfly Yoga Barn in North Sandwich will be offering a more advanced class on "yoga warrior" poses intended to tap into a person's strength and endurance.
O'Connell, who has been teaching yoga for 16 years, said that people approach yoga for different reasons, with different goals.
For O'Connell, yoga is spiritual, but not religious.
In addition to classes on all types of yoga, Yoga for Peace will include lectures and sessions on other yoga-related topics. Practitioners Stacey Doll of Littleton, and Beth-Amie Labonte of Concord will talk about how to design a garden that connects yoga to the natural world. Lisa Law, an interior design consultant from Nashua, will offer a class in Feng Shui, a practice of creating an uncluttered and balanced living environment. "Clutter and chaos are time consuming," Law said. "This class is about making life easier and more relaxed."
"It's a very peaceful event that people find empowering," said Law.
That's exactly what the Guptas had in mind when they launched the event six years ago.
Anyone interested in attending any of the classes offered at NH Yoga for Peace can register online at www.yogacaps.org. Click on the "Peace Dove," and follow the links to read descriptions of each session and class. Classes typically fill up before each event, so preregistration is recommended.

To all that live in a state where the AWB did not go away.
Before you go shelling out $100 for a "pre-ban" factory 30 rounder, check this out.
I could not seem to get a straight answer on how to ID a pre 94 mag. So I sent an email to Ruger CS dept for the straight skinny. Here is my email and their reply.
Ruger Customer Support email@example.com

Dear Mr. XXXXXX ,
Thank you for using the Ruger On-Line Customer Support Request Form.
This e-mail is in response to your question or comment of 08/17/2012
Request No: 150993
Comment / question:
I have a question regarding magazines for my mini-14
As I'm sure you are aware, here in MA any magazines over 10 rounds must be pre-ban (mfg before 9/14/94)
How can I tell when a mag was mfg? The ones between 94 and 04 are marked LEO, so those are obvious, but how can I tell the difference between one made pre 94 and one made post 04?
I just want to make sure that I keep it legal.
Thank You,
Unfortunately, there is no way to tell.

Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
Can you get a CTS Vsport with AWD?
Can you get a BMW M5 with AWD?
Those are your leading indicators.
Yeah, AWD sells in the frozen north, but Cadillac will Vsport a SRX and point you to the XTS Vsport and call it a day.
Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
No they won't. The v sport not having awd will change. It's just an other example of GM not having it ready. I would bet good money that the cts v sport will have RWD. M5? I think everyone was blind sided by mb. I think you will see it in the future. If GM has your mind state they'll just be following BMW some more because m5 will eventually offer awd. These automakers are missing out on more sales than you think by not offering these performance oriented variants of these sedans in awd.
I love nothing more than RWD but I am from NYC and ill be moving back in less than a year so awd means something to me.
Cadillac pointing you to srx and xts v sport and calling it a day is the old way of thinking at GM.
If GM had the $$ you'd have an awd cts v sport already.

Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
In for my 2 cents....
With my love for my Cadillac's, I plan on holding on to my 13 V-Coupe (love the manual transmission and RWD), however wouldn't mind picking up a 3rd Gen V as well if it had these.
I want:
-To stay with a coupe
-Over 630HP
-Dual clutch high performance transmission with paddle shifters
-Digital dash/tac, but a high def, clear, crisp one that is responsive, and doesn't have an "old" look to it
-Information on vehicle stats/status available on the NAV display
-And of course new BAD ass styling... Every time I go out for lunch/dinner, and walk outside for a cigarette, I'm in awe of my car, Mwhahaha I love it! Always attracts a few people who look inside at the interior/setup.
Things I know we'll get that I want changed:
-Don't care about CUE, but wish we could have real buttons (not haptic feedback touch buttons). Choice to use the screen, or "real" buttons would be awesome!
-I hope it has the same Caddillac logo as the 13 V coupe, I don't want that "new" Cadillac logo that I was reading about in other threads
Pointless things which could be "cool":
-Function to keep the rear view cam on in a competitive or sport mode for the track
-Driver preferences get saved (competitive mode, suspension modes) when the vehicle is turned off/on. Or a single switch inside the vehicle that by switching it once, changes the suspension, traction, and seat configuration.... When I feel like driving hard, I like the seat to hug more then when I'm just chilling, single switch to change all these would be rad!
I know the tranny, power, and AWD will cost $$$. But let's say Cadillac did this right, and I mean really right, I wouldn't mind dishing out $120,000 for that!

Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
As someone who has owned several AWD track cars (4 Evos) and 'borrowed' a buddies GTR one summer while he was doing his stent overseas, I wanted to chime in. AWD would be GREAT, but know, you will create alot of potential problems at our power level, unless they really over engineer the system. Clutches, T-cases, and other components will shatter when things get harsh, especially if you have a good tire / suspension package on the car. For any track car I built that had more than 500whp, I had to modify the clutch and t-case, or I would have heat and stability issues. Launching an AWD car is VERY hard on the driveline, and I would suspect the tranny would also need alot of reworking. But, greater than all of this would be weight and the AWD tech required to make the system work well. I am simply not sure that GM has the back ground to do a system like MB, Nissan, or Audi, which have good reliable systems, that work very well, and have intelligence to only act when required, rather than a simple system like the first gen evos had. And the weight would push this car to stellar territory. My Evos at race weight with manual transmissions were ~3200 with me in the car (200lb), and my Evo MR w/ auto was ~3750. I like the way our cars feel now, and woudl miss the 'raw' driving impression it gives, BUT if GM could make the car lighter and build a system that had the intelligence of the GTR or Audi, then I may reconsider, and deal with the weight.

Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
Show me the stock STI time that beats the 2009 CTS-V.
2011 - not stock
2011 by a professional race car driver...interstingly enough the same time as the above modified car.
There are some EVO times that are better, but I'm not sure if they are stock or special tuner editions or what. I get your point regardless. I would hardly car a Subaru STI a performance sedan....just because it has 4 doors... Its a compact car. Its lighter weight, and significantly physically smaller. I would imagine its more agile. Is is really supposed to compete with E Class, Audi, 3-5 series etc... They are freaking small ass cars - I looked at getting one.

Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
Looks like they are offering the XTS VSport with AWD...
Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
XTS VSport is only available as AWD
Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
As for the "suggestion" that GM may not be able to "do it right" - I take exception. The entire V2 program was proof that GM engineers can produce world class luxury sports cars. Now simply challenging them to do this again, with an AWD platform that allowed the driver to put the available power to the ground, would just be another example of GM's engineering prowess. The CTS-V proved that GM does not have to worry about counting every penny and cutting every corner to make a platform a success. GM has some of the BEST automotive engineers on this planet! Bar none! Throw down the challenge to them and say - "make it the best AWD system on the market". Would that be difficult – sure, but keep in mind that GM has a long history of innovating. It is not like they would be starting from zero. There are plenty of good examples of AWD systems that work in sports cars. I think they could surprise the automotive world once again.
We just need to stop complaining about paying people living wages and retiree benefits and build a car that people will pay a couple of thousand dollars more for. I would gladly pay even $10K more for my V2 today - than I did in 2008/2009. It is just that good a vehicle! Straight from Detroit!

Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
"The stickler is that the Subaru in question wasn't a production car. It was, in the words of the company, a 2011 Impreza WRX STI prototype. The car is basically the bastard child of two JDM-only models with some extra bespoke aero bits thrown in for slipperiness and high-speed stability.
The car starts with the suspension from the improved-for-2011 WRX STI—it's 5 mm lower than the 2010 model, with 1-mm-thicker front and rear anti-roll bars, higher-rate springs all around, stiffer rear-subframe bushings, and new front-suspension pillow-ball bushings. The engine is the Japanese-market STI spec.c's, a 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer-four that's been given the larger turbo from the R205, another Japanese special-edition STI model. It's now putting out a claimed 320 hp, which makes the time that much more impressive when compared with the Panamera's 500 turbocharged ponies (although the Porsche is surely carrying around a few hundred extra pounds). The R205 also donates six-piston front brakes and a front strut-tower brace; it features a flexible center portion that allows vertical motion but maintains lateral stiffness. Weight is saved through the use of an aluminum hood from the spec.c, unique aluminum front fenders, the spec.c's smaller battery, and the deletion of the radio as in the R205 and spec.c. Extra aero parts specific to this car include a full undertray, a front-lip extension tacked onto the R205's lower spoiler, and a Gurney flap added—taped, really—to the rear at Mäkinen's request. (The car was getting a bit out of shape without it in the high-speed sections.) A full roll cage and race buckets fitted with a five-point harness for the driver and a four-point for the passenger make things safe."
I'm not convinced the V3 must have AWD to compete, especially on the track. Look what the C7 did to the GTR.
The GTR has more power, AWD and costs $47,000 more but is still slower around Streets of Willow than the RWD C7.
Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
I don't know too much about this stuff, but I don't think there is any sense in trying to find out if the AWD system in the XTS V Sport can handle the power they'll put in the CTS-V3. My reason is that I believe the AWD system on the XTS is different than the one on the CTS-V would be. Reason for that is the X is FWD based and the C is RWD based. I'd think it would be completely different. Please correct me if I'm wrong. For one, XTS is limited as to how much power it can push to the rear wheels while the CTS-V's AWD system would be RWD biased (putting more power to the rears than to the fronts) like it is in the STS and CTS. What I think would be great is if the CTS-V with AWD that doesn't even exist yet, could vary the power going between the wheels so that the rears would get 100% until traction is lost, or about to be lost. At that point, the excess power causing the rears to (almost) lose traction is transferred to the front wheels, just enough to where the rears are at their limit. Power should be shared not only between front and rear tires, but side to side. Taking a left turn for example, the left tires will want to spin. Just before this happens, the car should redirect the torque to the right wheels. This setup would provide optimal performance. This technology exists. I think acura does this with their super handling awd. Classy name.
But AWD setups in general can handle that much power. See lamborghini.
Again, that whole setup would allow for better traction in weather, which will mean much more sales.
It will also outperform the RWD variant on the track, or on the strip. Here we are again with technology adding to sheer performance numbers while possibly taking away from the thrill and driving enjoyment. I'm sure a lot of you have read about the new 911 GT3 and it's lack of a clutch pedal. Porsche talks about track times and how much they'll improve. Sure, but to a degree, at the expense of driving enjoyment.
Anyone can just mash the pedal coming out of a turn and let the computers figure out the traction situation (I'm looking at you, GTR and Audi) but it's much more fun, and entertaining trying to perfect that corner exit with just enough power not to swing the back out and cost precious seconds. Or if you're into it, to be able to swing the back out for the fun of it. How about recording some burnouts before a tire change. Sorry AWD.
I would want AWD in a daily driver, but on a track? RWD manual. Bottom line, they should offer both. Easier said than done.
Oh and in the case of Corvettes vs GTRs on the track, the ZR1 pulls away from the GTR at higher speeds (when traction is no longer an issue) and it far surpasses the GTR in cornering ability which is why the RWD car walks away from the AWD GTR on a track. But run a ZR1 against a non existent AWD ZR1? I'd say the AWD will win around the track.
Again, not interested in being a little faster at the expense of the thrill of mastering a RWD beast around a track. I'll take RWD around the track.
The article at the link that MEDSIN posted says it all. The following is a paragraph straight out of the article talking about the GTR:
"Chuck the GT-R into a corner, any corner, and it sticks through the bend and rockets out the other side. But it never surprises and never actually excites. It's frightening in the same way as commercial air travel. It's the conscious thought of the speed you're traveling and the consequences thereof that raises hairs, not the direct knowledge that you're in control of something special."
This one is on the Vette. The base, C7 Vette which was slower on the drag strip but beat the GTR around the track. Nice:
"And there's the difference: Even with the safety net of PTM, you always feel responsible for the actions of the C7 in a way you don't with the GT-R. Oversteer? Your fault. Understeer? Your fault. A perfectly clipped apex followed by an astonishing corner exit speed? Yep, your fault."
Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
I guarantee you that the Cadillac performance engineers are having, or have already had, the same discussion as is ongoing here. We will see, perhaps in another year or so, which side won. If we don't see AWD in a V3, maybe we will in a V4.
Only time will tell.
PS I'd lease an RS6 Avant in a heartbeat. Of course, I'd keep my V wagon.
And even the RS cars are nose heavy and push on the front end...
Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
The issue is that the CTS-V does not have enough traction/wide enough tires/AWD. The Z06 and ZR-1 solved this problem by slapping 12" wheels with 335mm tires on the rear. Ask the D3 guys, their race cars all have much wider than stock rear wheels. The E63 solved it by adding AWD. The Stingray, at least with the Z51 package, has larger wheels with extremely sticky tires, and the rest is the ~1,000 lb weight difference between it and the V. So assuming the V3 V isn't going to lose 1,000 lbs, it's either going to need vastly wider wheels and vastly wider tires a la Z06/ZR-1, or it's going to need AWD.
Or it will continue to have traction problems, that's the other option. The reason I believe AWD is a good option is because it doesn't just help in a straight line. It helps everywhere, it helps in turns, it helps exiting turns, it helps in inclement weather, it helps you use all the power the engine makes, instead of just some of it. I'm ok with RWD too, I just don't want to see a new V with some reduced weight, some added HP, and the same RWD and 285-width tires on the rear.
Re: V3 - All Wheel Drive?
Did you guys see the Car&Driver article about the 2014 CLS63 AMG with all-wheel-drive?
0 to 62 mph 3.6 seconds.
I'm sure price will be well above $100K.

1. "How do you say X?" is the most important sentence you can possibly learn. Learn it early and use it often.
2. One on one tutoring is the best and most efficient use of time. It's also usually the most expensive use of time, depending on the language and country. But if you have the money, grabbing a solid tutor and sitting with him or her for a few hours every day is the fastest way to learn a new language I've ever found. A mere two hours a day for a few weeks with a tutor in Brazil got me to at least a respectable conversational level — i.e., I could go on a date with a girl who spoke no English and maintain conversation throughout the night without making too much of a fool of myself. Speaking of which…
3. Date a girl who speaks the target language and not your native language. Talk about investment and motivation. You'll be fluent in a month. And best of all, if you make her mad or do something wrong, you can claim lost in translation .
4. If you can't find a cute girl to put up with you, find a language buddy online. There are a number of websites of foreigners who want to learn English who would be willing to trade practice time in their native language for practice in yours. Live Mocha is a great resource of this (I'm not a huge fan of their lessons, but the ability to video chat with other members is priceless).
5. Facebook chat + Google Translate = Winning.
6. When you learn a new word, try to use it a few times right away. When you stop and look up a new word in conversation, make a point to use it in the next two or three sentences you say. Language learning studies show that you need to hit a certain amount of repetitions of saying a word within one minute of learning it, one hour of learning it, one day, etc. Try to use it immediately a few times and then use it again later in the day. Chances are it'll stick.
7. TV shows, movies, newspapers and magazines are a good supplementation. But they should not be mistaken or replacements for legitimate practice. When I was getting good at Spanish, I made a point to watch a couple movies each week and read an article on El País each day. It was helpful for keeping me fresh, but I don't believe it was as good as use of my time as conversations.
8. Most people are helpful, let them help. If you're in a foreign country and making a complete ass out of yourself trying to buy something at the grocery store, ask random people for help. Point to something and ask how to say it. Ask them questions. Most people are friendly and willing to help you out. Learning a language is not for shy people.
9. There will be a lot of ambiguity and miscommunication. Fact of the matter is that for many, many words, the translations are not direct. "Gustar" may roughly mean "to like" in Spanish, but in usage, it's more nuanced than that. It's used for particular situations and contexts, whereas in English we use "like" as a blanket verb covering anything we enjoy or care about. These subtle differences can add up, particularly in serious or emotional conversations. Intentions can be easily misconstrued. Nuanced conversations over important matters will likely require double the effort to nail down the exact meaning for each person than it would between two native speakers. No matter how good you are in your new language, you're not likely to have a complete grasp over the slight intuitive differences between each word, phrase or idiom that a native speaker does without living in the country for years.
10. These are the phases you go through. First, you're able to speak a little and understand nothing. Then you're able to understand far more than you speak. Then you become conversational, but it requires quite a bit of mental effort. After that, you're able to speak and understand without conscious mental effort (i.e., you don't have to translate words into your native tongue in your mind). Once you're able to speak and listen without thinking about it, you'll begin to actually think in the foreign language itself without effort. Once this happens, you're really hitting a high level.
Anyway, if you have already tried many things and you cannot learn that language. You should try with someone who really cares about your learning and who really can helps you to improve your level. Not someone who is writing on the blackboard everytime.

Wireless Internet Service Debuts in Five Texas State Parks
AUSTIN, Texas — TengoInternet and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department are starting a pilot program to offer wireless Internet service at five Texas state parks — Choke Canyon State Park (Calliham) near Three Rivers, Blanco State Park near Blanco, Balmorhea State Park near Toyahvale, Goose Island State Park near Rockport, and Ray Roberts Lake State Park (Isle du Bois) near Pilot Point.
The pilot program is designed to determine visitor interest for Wi-Fi within the state parks system. Wi-Fi, short for wireless fidelity, allows computer users to share a high-speed Internet connection without the cumbersome wires or delays caused by dial-up access. The wireless service will allow park guests to access the Internet to gain park information, send e-mail or pictures, or just surf the Web, without having to plug cables into a network.
The TengoInternet service will be available for park visitors in the pilot parks beginning Jan. 1. Park visitors will be able to use the service for free during a promotional period and then pay for usage later in the spring.
"The State Parks Division is excited to provide wireless Internet to our visitors at some of our state parks in Texas," said Pam Carleton, TPWD's state parks concession manager. "Though we realize many folks want to escape technology while at parks, this is an option for those who want to plan their next camping stop, check weather and get other information online."
"This is a great opportunity for TengoInternet to help TPWD assess interest for Wi-Fi in its parks and to demonstrate our excellent service," said Eric Stumberg, president and CEO of TengoInternet.
TengoInternet is the oldest and largest wireless Internet service provider for the campground industry, enabling campground operators to keep their customers connected. TengoInternet currently provides broadband wireless access service for campgrounds, hotels and apartment complexes throughout the United States.
For more information about TengoInternet's wireless service, please call (512) 750-4979. For overnight camping reservations at a Texas state park, please call (512) 389-8900. For general state park information, call (800) 792-1112.

Mom: Driving toddler a big mistake
ONSLOW COUNTY - The family of a Camp Lejeune Marine says letting their 2-year-old son drive a car, and posting a video of it on Facebook, was a big mistake.
"I feel bad for doing it and I wasn't thinking, we weren't thinking," said mom Angelina Madrid.
The video shows Giovanni Madrid, 2, sitting on his father Marcos Madrid's lap steering the vehicle.
Angelina says the family was driving on Fowler Manning road, near their home in Richlands, when Giovanni, who loves cars, asked if he could drive. Without thinking, Angelina says they allowed the toddler to sit behind the steering wheel.
Legal experts say this violates several traffic laws including careless and reckless driving as well as a child-restraint violation.
Now, Angelina says that Marcos -- a corporal in the Marine Corps -- is worried about his future. Marcos finished his first four years in the Corps this week, and was hoping to re-enlist. Angelina said they are now worried what Marcos' commanding officers might think and that he might not be able to re-enlist.
Angelina says she hopes other parents will learn from their mistake.
Giovanni's grandmother, Tracee Ramos, says that he is a loved child. "My son-in-law and my daughter take very good care of my grandson, I love my grandson," says Ramos.
The Madrid family says this is the first and last time that Giovanni is getting behind the wheel, without a driver's license.

'I got the sense watching Pegula on Tuesday that he feels the same way. He was at turns Tuesday, a passionate fan, shrewd businessman and rambling parent bragging about his children. It is remarkably fortunate that all those things combined to make a man who wants to run this team the way it should have been run all along. I never got the sense that Pegula is doing this out of some urge to create a do-gooder facade like the crook John Rigas, or as a corollary to a political agenda like Tom Golisano.'

firefox accepts broken url's, we do not by the looks of it. spaces is not valid in urls (needs to be %20). either replace in the scraper, or have your server output a url safe version in addition

Consortium Financial Assistance Request
Financial assistance may be available to student enrolling in courses at multiple colleges/universities (dual enrollment). The institution from which a student will receive his/her degree is considered the "home school" and will award financial aid. Classes taken at another institution, the "visiting school," may be counted towards total financial aid hours.
Western Kentucky University students wishing to enroll in classes offered through another college/university may have those classes covered by financial aid if the student has met basic eligibility requirements. These include being enrolled in a degree seeking program, having a current FAFSA on file and having completed requests for any/all additional requirements (tax information, probation counseling, etc.). The student must also comply with the stipulations listed below:
- Student must be admitted in good academic standing as a degree-seeking student at Western Kentucky University.
- Western Kentucky University must be listed on the FAFSA (SAR)
- Unless prior arrangements have been made with the financial aid office, student must be enrolled for a minimum of three credit hours at WKU.*
- The student must enroll in classes required for his/her degree program.
- At the end of the semester/term, a COPY of final grades MUST be submitted to the office of Student Financial Assistance. Failure to submit a copy of final grades may delay receipt of future financial aid.
To begin the consortium process, the student must first fill out a Consortium Request on TopNet. This request is received by the Financial Aid Office and is used to generate a Consortium Agreement. If a student wishes to attend more than one visiting school, he/she will need to submit the Consortium Request separately for each visiting school. The Consortium Agreement, which you must take to your visiting school, will be sent as an attachment to your WKU topper email once your Consortium Request has been processed.
When you press CONTINUE, you will be redirected to TopNet where you will complete the Consortium Request. Log in using your Net ID and password, choose Financial Aid, and then Consortium Request.

text: Except for figure skating events, that is. I hate January, always have (or at least, strongly dislike). It's usually the coldest month of the year, colds and the flu runs rampant, the weather sucks in general and the days are short. February is cold, too, but at least the days are getting longer and the lure of spring is closer. For me, I tend to feel a low-grade depression during the month of January (which is worse when sick) and can't wait for the month to be over and done with. Anyone else, or is it just me?

Emiliano Salinas:
A civil response to violence
In this passionate talk that's already caused a sensation in Mexico, Emiliano Salinas, son of former president Carlos Salinas de Gortari, confronts the current climate of violence in Mexico — or rather, how Mexican society responds to it. He calls on ordinary citizens to move from denial and fear to peaceful, community-based action. (Delivered in Spanish with English subtitles.)

i have seen a few language schools advertising their TEFL courses out in Asia, in particular Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia. Instead of doing the course here in the UK i thought why not over there.
Would like some kind of beach type destination, dont like big cities. Have a degree and previous teaching experience but not in Englsih.
Does anyone have any recommendations regarding schools, and can i use the certificate in other parts of the world?

ORF's do not come with an ejector block.
Not only will you have to chase one down at additional cost, but from what I understand the installation location (which requires drilling and pinning) is critical to a proper operating firearm.
Not something I want to try to mess with on my first FAL build.

Mariannet Amper, aged 12, was alone in the shack while her mother and father were out trying to get jobs so they could have some money. She must have looked around at the pitiful few things in the shack wondering if this was to be her life forever. The Filipino girl most probably went to her diary, read some pages, perhaps a sob convulsed her body as she realized this was her life-poverty and hunger. At some point, she got some rope, and hung herself. When her mother and father arrived home, she was dead. Mariannet left a note addressed to the TV program, "I Just Wish." The note told about her wishes, "I wish for new shoes, a bag, and jobs for my mother and father. My dad does not have a job and my mum just gets laundry jobs. I would like to finish my schooling and to buy a new bike." These were the wishes of a 12 year old girl who wrote in her diary about not being able to afford fare so she could get to church and pray.
I frequently hear angry comments from those opposed to welfare because it is their assumption poor people are poor because they are lazy. About 14% of Filipino people live on less than a dollar a day. All they can do is wish-wish that a TV program will select their wish from among thousands submitted. I often wonder why those with money are so angry toward those without.

My 2340 has some slack but very little
Has any one had slack in there trigger on there sp2022s just wondering? Thanks in Advance!
My 2022 definitely has some slack before it engages the trigger....my 226 Equinox doesn't have nearly the slack that the SIg Pro has I had a range officer look at it at the range and he agreed...I dont suspect its anything wrong but I read a lot about how great the trigger is on the Sig Pro vs 250 .
On my DAO 2340 their is probably close to 2/32 movement before the trigger engages and the hammer starts to move
Is your P2022 DA/SA or DAO?
I have the P 229 and P239 with SRT triggers DA/SA and there is definitely slack after firing DA and being in SA.
I have found there is a trigger smith that can get rid of the slack for $75 and I'm looking at that right now.
Now is that the same problem without the SRT? I cannot answer but guessing yes.
So I was thinking about getting a P229 any good feedback would be appreciated.

I'm seriously starting to think I should abandon these Mp7 animations. I haven't done anything with them for a while now, and maybe I can finally move on to something different.
Does anyone still have models from Taggart's UN Troopers V1?
Know what, I can't keep that racist bullshit up. I'm gonna go work on something new now.
Hey guys. I'm having a bit of a problem with a compile of mine.
I made an animation using two magazines. I'm aware of the bug when you replace a magazine with a second one that it will switch when the idle animation plays again. (I already found a way around that)
The problem I'm having though, is the new magazine isn't showing up when compiled. I have it named magazine01 in the reference and all other sequences, so I'm not sure why it's not showing up. Any ideas?
Is the magazine on a separate ref? Is Studiomdl throwing out any errors? QC and compile logs would help greatly here.
Hey, guys I was digging for skins and things, and I found a SCAR
• Animations: Soldier11
• Compile: Scrabler
• Model, textures, sounds: IW
Knowing that, this SCAR has been wanted alot and there was no download due permission things etc etc... so now when I found a link PM if Anyone needs. Sorry for Disturbing :/
Hello everyone Merry Christmas as a Christmas gift i'll give you a Modern Warfare 3 Sounds pack!
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?lvjm9y4898wh6b3
All the credits in the rar file
fuck yeah! My progress with sounds was like 50%,i will definitely try yours. Thanks a lot!
//sound quality is pretty good,but most of them are cut off at the end (shoot sounds) and on some of them there is significant background noise .... Nevermind ,it is helpful anyway
^^for the lulz, can't decompile Unkn0wn's anims since StudioCompiler want to be gay. It's on my old KF anim edit for USP btw(which has been fixed like century ago lol)
Normals are missing, blame Xplorer for that
Global Offensive Deagle :3 !
Fixed the g3. It was something odd that I just overlooked. When you clone a magazine, you have to re apply the textures to the new mag, or it won't show up ingame. Apparently (even though the textures show up in max) it applies a 'null' texture, which makes it transparent ingame.
Doing some Halo porting with Broke's newly released tagset.
Of course, before release I copied texture & edited to not change full mag to another full mag(thankfully Teh Snake didn't got angry about editing his texturzorg). Before that edit, both mags used same texture obviously, I'm sure I cloned them before animating, so...IDFK why this happen'd to you.
Those, dear mentlegen are .45 pistol anims that are done most simpliest way which everyone bypassed due to unknown reasons.
Kami, if I gave you the files for it, could you attempt to rerig it for me?
It's easy to change rigs, but there's no CSS rig for Halo (that I know of)
I may install 11 just for rerigs...but idk If 2 Maxes will work in the same time(no 2 opened lol, 2 installed I mean)
About dat error, here is quite old vid which was done when I had XP:
I must also someday rerig AvA hands & finish Sten...& Glukes, damn!
Gtfo 9 & installed Max11 just for those damn rerigs...here bones are alright, yay.
That bug is very mysterious - on XP 11 had that bug, now on Seven, 9 has it...
More ports, this time from obscure Korean FTP FPS games =3
I have absolutely no idea what inspired me to do this.
In case you have no idea what this is, it's the battlecruiser Hyperion from Starcraft II
It's giving me some error about... something or other in guistudiomdl.
Do any of you guys know what the hell happened?
Hello guys do you know any working css rigs for 3dsmax2011? i'm using imbrokeru Leather gloves but i want to animate with css rigs
I hope this helped...
Thanks and i know that imbrokeru made that css rig redux. Only problem is that it doesn't show the first person view camera. I tried adding new camera but it didn't work , then i tried to open camera itself and then it worked. It's kinda hard to animate that way when you have only first person view :D
You're making this Asian very sad.
Finally! After a year break in compiling I AM BACK!
This is my first release in 2012,expect to see more.
I proudly present you, Modern Warfare 2 M4A1 on ImBrokeRu's V1 anims with MW2 Ranger rig.
