"I was looking for a dessert to take for a 4th of July lunch. I doubled the recipe to use a regular size springform pan. It was delicious.It is so simple but tastes like you went to alot of trouble. I have made it several times and will use the gingersnap crust for other things!"


text: Ballet music seems like a natural choice of music for figure skating, and a lot of it has been overused. There is also ballet music that has been used in moderation. It's hard to list all the skates for each piece of music, so I will list just my favorites- one or two (occasionally 3) per ballet. I may not have the time to post ALL the youtube links tonight. First the overused ones: The Nutcracker (Pas de deux): My favorite still remains G&G's pro routine to this (around 1991). I also liked Bechke & Petrov's version. It was very elegant. I don't particularly care for singles skating to this, although Sasha looked pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxSR9IgM75I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbcHZZSJnSs Don Quixote: John Curry (1976). I also liked Irina's at the 2001 GPF. Those are polar opposites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djadlQLK_ow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SXO6s3MCDw Swan Lake: B&S's SP (1998), Rudy Galindo LP (1996 US nationals) and Oksana Baiul's SP (1994) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJCGGBmCmf0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXIj_UGchiE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6zKfZVurJY Scheherzade: I loved Midori's 1990 LP the most. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv7ZswRD9OM Romeo & Juliet (Tchaikovsky): Klimova-Ponomarenko's pro routine and G&G;s 1990 Euro LP were great. I also liked Ilia Kulik's LP in 1997. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roIjwsfWnP0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSL-hpsFAtw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCBnj4I0aPM Not so overused: Romeo & Juliet (Prokofiev): A&P's 1998 FD is my most favorite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Wqpc4xL5Q Sleeping Beauty: Angela Nikodinov (2001 LP) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGsMDXLyXxs Carmina Burana: Paul Wylie (pro) and A&P (2000 FD) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LVrvQXrcLs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm18VlVQR2g Giselle: None that I really loved, but Angela's LP in 2002 had the potential to be really good. Unfortunately she never skated it to its potential. I appreciated Katia's pro routine to this, after Sergei's death. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YrO5YeaDdY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADvfXJaxuFM Firebird: Joannie Rochette (2005) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17uTwCAUtrw Copelia: Yamaguchi-Galindo (1990 LP) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_ml-B0F3c0&playnext=1&list=PL4858B89E25023924&feature=results_video Cinderella: Angela and Midori skated to it. Angela's was technically perfect. Midori skated it upon her comeback, but it was disappointing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHJazEDW9lI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT-dHwXPZc0 Other music from the Nutcracker: Ilia Kulik's pro routine was wonderful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-hQp1zd00Y Spartacus: Michelle Kwan SP, Debbie Thomas Pro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwr4zH53-bo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ_BdTAVO3Q Incredibly, the most balletic ice dancers Usova-Zhulin never skated to ballet music- in my memory at least.

Six years ago a combined American and Afghan force drove the Taliban from power. Instead of remaining to completely crush the Taliban, American forces were sent to Iraq in search of those never found WMD. In their wake, a population was left to deal with government forces on one side and the Taliban on the other. Yesterday, Afghan civilians got caught in between opposing forces when a combined Afghan-US force attack a village. When the shooting ceased, a militant was dead and so were two children while several women were wounded. The object of the attack was a supposed base for suicide bombers. Last week in Khandahar province a large battle took place between coalition units and the Taliban. After the battle ceased there were dead Taliban and hundreds of farmers also left the area. As Zarif Khan noted: "Our livelihoods depend on the pomegrante crop, but the stupid Taliban came and star ted fighting."
Newspapers report how many died or were wounded on each side, but there scant attention is paid to the cost to civilians. In this situation, hundreds of farmers fled at harvest time leaving crops in the field that no one will harvest. Is this the only way wars can be fought?

SB Action - Boat Finance and Boat Loans
Locating the Appropriate Boat Loans
It is at 3 places where you can perhaps obtain a boat loan. A great number of lending organization, like your bank, or your credit union may have boat loan conveniences. If such loans are not directly advertised in their branches, you might need to personally find out from one of their conversant employee if such a service is provided by them. On the other hand, there are groups of people who dedicate themselves and put concentration completely on the service of providing boat loans to their purchasers. These people are described naval lending specialists and are generally affiliates of the National Marine Bankers Association. If you get l obtain their amenities to help you acquire a loan, you hold a possibility of enjoying fruitful benefits from many discount plans plus special tarrifs.
Nautical lending experts, normally, have connections with the merchants themselves and consequently by shared cooperation among the two, they can facilitate you extra inducements for your boat loan than can the isolated bank or credit institute. moreover, the sellers themselves might be marine lending experts, in which case, you have the ideal setting for your loan. The benefit of acquiring your stuff from the trader is that he himself can facilitate you suggestions in addition to opinion as to which specific kind of boat will be proper for the sort of experience you want to acquire by boating. The merchant will know the particular potential and deficiency of each and every boat model. He will have the knowledge of prices not only of current stock, but also of extra stocks he does not have in stock at present. Due to the fact that merchants have close contacts with the makers of these boats, they will be able to arrange models as well as brands for you, which are not currently in stock in their shop.
Amid the several discounts you can acquire by getting your boat loan from a merchant are the finance schemes of producers themselves or finance plans co-sponsored by both the trader and the manufacturer. Besides, a number of boat models come with their particular incentive programs. This stands to further cut your expenditure, as they include such plans as "90 days as excellent as cash" or "no interest for a particular time period" promotions.
Logically, you will come across no difficulty with servicing, since the dealer himself will take that accountability upon himself. And due to the fact that he is totally familiar with the stocks he is selling, trouble-shooting will call for less time in addition to hard work. The same is for avering warranties. With the certifications of your boat, sellers can also supply extra help individually, if they also occur to be marine lending experts, or via the services of their associates.
What in particular are the advantages you can acquire by securing your loan through a nautical lending specialist:
- Affordable down payments - Because marine lending professionals can work in partnership with the traders themselves in constructing the rules and regulations of your loan, they can help you to qualify for down payment expenses lesser than the general 10% - 20% range.
- Second-hand Boat loans - Also since nautical lending specialists might merge with merchants themselves, loans on used boats from these dealers can be acquired very quickly.
- Quick credit results- For the reason that marine lending specialists specialize on boat loans, the time it takes to get your application form approved or refused is also extremely shorter.
- Longer Terms - Marine lending professionals do not want\ wish to jeopardize the quality level of the boat by putting very much financial pressure on the possessor, as a result they try to make their terms as adaptable as probable, taking into consideration the title-holder's paying ability. You may acheive longer term loans for new boats - more info new boat finance here
- Lesser Installments - Necessarily, the more time is given to disburse, the less requires to be paid every month. This consideration is also given towards motivating the holder to take better care of his boat and preserve it in a good state.
To locate a marine lending specialist, you might go the National Marine Banking Association online site and take a peek at the list of marine lending professionals who are also associates of this organization. In case, upon paying a visit their online site, you already have the boat model that you want in mind, simply show that there, and area where you reside and you will be shown a list of their affiliates who can give you assistance.
If you are in Australia look to for Boat Finance Calculator Australia - Cheap Boat Loans Interest Rates
In recapitulation, to find out the suitable boat investing for yourself, you need to talk with a marine lending specialist. Such lenders are affiliates of the National Marine Banking Association which is an association established to make the procedure of obtaining boat financing, a simple as well as reasonable thing to do. The nautical lending specialists, as these associates are recognized as, work in intimate association with boat dealers, who in turn have understandings with the boat manufacturers. This is because, in case you acquire your boat loan from a marine lending professional, you are bound to benefit from incentives as well as discounts from three persons - the maker, the merchant and even the lender himself. Thus where else would you want to go?

Discussion in 'December 2010' started by roscoe36, Oct 19, 2010.
That's probably one of the reasons why there are so many empy seats.
I don't think the sellout streak was a hoax. There is a big difference between "paid attendance" and the number of people actually in the seats. I have season tickets for events that I often miss. I'm sure that I still count in the reported attendance.
It was a hoax. The only thing that needed to be decided was when to quit pretending that those tons of empty seats were paid for - by anybody. I went to countless games during the streak - and paid attention. But hey, other than being a PR move, what harm? Now a day's nobody goes to the games at all. Wonder what they are reporting for attendance now? Anybody know the figures?
Attendance: 12,526 That is for the Hawks game, according to ESPN.com. However they get their numbers, I am not certain. That puts the Palace at about half full...just over. Does that sound legit to those that were there?
Remember a lot of cats went to the Giants-Vikings game for free that day. And it was cold... I think paid attendence is all that matters.
I just read a report stating that Ford Field gave away 32,000 tickets for that game.
I'm only going by what I saw watching the game on my TV, but there couldn't have been more than a few thousand at that game.
It looked like the first qtr of a JV game.
It was empty. Hard to judge the number of people in a large place like that but there were rows upon rows of empty seats. Probably could have fit everyone in the building into the lower bowl and not even fill that part.
We used to get some nice crowds for our JV games....

... Whether it should be or shouldn't isn't the point. The point is that those seen as impeding passage of funding these jobs, are going to reap the rewards of loosing their seats. ...
... Yes, we had one liberal in the family. My mother's sister....
Wow, the condescension never ends. Those of you who are so much smarter than all liberals, do you have no liberals in your life? Nobody you love with an opposing viewpoint? Or is it just liberals on this forum who are so incredibly and "frightfully enlightening" to you?
I still don't know where to find jobs for people in this time of our economy, though. With such a competitive market, those who've been out of the market the longest
The point is that those seen as impeding passage of funding these jobs, are going to reap the rewards of loosing their seats
Diane Rehm and Fresh air. 2 out of 30 something shows is your proof of left leaning.
I really like Story Corp, and I was a faithful listener to Car Talk before they all started to re-run. I also like "wait wait don't tell me" and RadioLab. I listen TED also.
Kathy: your link gives a single show on NPR a leftist lean and that is only a 16.6 point lean from center on a scale of 0-50
QuoteHappy?very...but the next lesson will be in picking sources that are (more of less) neutral :-D still, the fact that you found loony leftist sites to back up your claim is a very good start!!i have a question about this obstruction and it's from an earlier post of yours.Quote The point is that those seen as impeding passage of funding these jobs, are going to reap the rewards of loosing their seatsdo you believe that it's the job of the government to fund jobs? if so, can you explain how this is a net + for the economy/taxpayer?during the depression, the government did put people to work. it didn't help end the depression and in fact, may have been a contributing factor in extending it, BUT out of that we got some public works projects, monuments, people got some job skills....it was not a total loss.can you point to any of the current government spending that is leaving us anything lasting, or improving the odds of people finding meaningful work in the future?
I guess we're up to 3½ examples; how many examples would you like?Or maybe you could point to just a single NPR news or political show that comes anywhere near to the right? Perhaps NPR is just as balanced in their political and news reporting as the D's are in their desire for balanced economic policies.
My first source was from the Bangor Daily News... A small local paper in the home town of Stephen King. I did not see that on your liberal leaning list ;)
I didn't claim them to be "right" or "left".
Quote from: bluegrass on March 06, 2013, 06:18:08 PMI didn't claim them to be "right" or "left". Exactly. You just randomly threw them out of left field (so to speak) while the discussion was about how far left NPR is.So I guess the tally stands at 3½ left, 0 right. Oh yeah, very balanced.
Your assumption is completely based on opinion.
So were do we draw the line... just because *some* shows have a slightly left bent in your opinion or some book writers opinion does not make the entire network leftist... You already acknowledged that the shows I listed are non-biased.

Arsenal are 6/13 with GunnersGaming to beat Swansea at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The Gunners are unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions, and come into the match on the back of away draws at Aston Villa and Everton.
As far as history goes between the pair, they have met six times in the league with both sides winning three times. That suggest a tight game could be on the cards, as it was in this corresponding fixture last season when Arsenal ran out 1-0 winners.
A repeat of that scoreline is priced up at 27/5 with GunnersGaming, while 2-0 can be backed at 5/1.
Theo Walcott has scored nine goals in his last 11 matches in all competitions for Arsenal, and netted again against Everton in midweek. He is 11/2 in the first goalscorer market, and 2/1 to net anytime.
Under 2.5 goals could also be a distinct possibility, with that outcome priced up at 6/5 with GunnersGaming.

July 9, 2014
NEW YORK -- A pair of Lady Vol greats have once again been voted by fans as starters in the upcoming 2014 Boost Mobile WNBA All-Star Game, which will be held July 19 at the US Airways Center in Phoenix. The contest will be televised on ESPN, with tip-off slated for 3:30 p.m. Eastern time.
Tamika Catchings of the Indiana Fever has been selected to start in the front court for the Eastern Conference, while Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks was chosen as a front court starter for the Western Conference.
The 2011 regular-season WNBA MVP and MVP of the 2012 WNBA Finals presented by Boost Mobile, Catchings has been voted as a starter for all nine All-Star contests played since her first active season in the WNBA (2002). Despite missing the first 17 games this season due to injury, Catchings was the fourth-leading vote-getter for the Eastern Conference with 13,939.

text: There are 36 nations represented among Euros Ladies according to the entry list, but there are 43 this season as well, because there are two entries for Finland, France, and Sweden and three for Italy and Russia. (The numbering on the entries list is confusing.) Last season the minimum scores were the same for all senior championships. For Ladies, they were 15 for the SP and 25 for the FS. This year for Euros/4C's they are 20 for the SP and 35 for the FS, which is a considerable jump, especially for the FS, yet the entries are the same, and the ISU didn't raise them to cut the field down to around 30. It looks like all 43 will skate the SP. The only two who have yet to establish both minimums are the two substitutes from Belarus.

Cetme mags I forgot to post.
Here's a Romy G I won from RJF during a drawing in 09 at the Guns-And-Ammo site when everyone was still around. Some of the members here might remember. Bobby from Salbo did the build for me but I bought a damn Vulcan receiver instead of a NDS and the damn thing never worked right. Was getting it boxed-up to send back to Salbo when Bobby passed.
Was going to send it to RJF with a new receiver to rebuild but never heard back from him.
We tried everything we could over the phone but no go. It would function correctly a few times then back to FTE,FTF Jam
If it was operating properly I'd sell it for the first 550 + shipping. If my wife hadn't passed I'd be able to get it rebuilt. PM we'll talk. I might just cut it in half and sell it as a kit for what they're going for.

It turns out that other than so-called "business logic," there isn't much to business software. It's all the same stuff: a database connection, forms, fields, buttons, some daily/weekly/monthly batch operations, and the dreaded Reports.
Over and over again.
What's interesting - and interesting is the first step on our way to fun - is the process of converting fluffy human requirements into usable software. Many programmers doing business software aren't quite up to the level of programmers doing other kinds of software, but also interestingly, you don't get a lot of cross pollination between groups. Things just start getting done a particular way, and they keep getting done that way, and nobody really thinks twice until and you get these funny "programmer cliques" that believe totally different things and don't really talk to each other. You know, the Oracle types don't have much respect for the MySQL types, and vice versa, and they'll never resolve their differences because, well, they don't really care enough to bother.
Now I've gone and switched cliques - from operating systems to financial software, of all things - and what I learned is that both groups have plenty they can learn from the others.
One thing I learned is that there's a huge, tangible, visible difference between a company that understands business (and software is secondary) and a company that understands software (and business is secondary). Software companies do an awful lot of silly things that just don't make basic business sense. I don't mean any particular company here - they're almost all pretty clueless. Me too, for now. But it can be tough not to be clueless when you don't even know what clueless is, and worse, you've isolated yourself from the people who do know.
Now turn it around. People with business sense tend to be profitable, which is a good start. But they don't know that much about advanced software development, and silly things happen and time gets wasted, and they don't know that those things are totally avoidable. The smart ones, though, are willing to learn. Great software is an amplifier for a great business model, and the two put together is how you can get a really great company. This is straight out of Good to Great, of course. Go figure.
Bankers are literate!
All this is tangentially related to another amazing discovery I made recently, which is that banking-type people are actually much more compatible with programmers than I thought. You would normally not expect this, since banking-type people (kind of an extreme form of accounting-type people) are in many surface ways different from programmers: less energetic, less liberal, less creative, and often less smelly.
But one thing we have in common - and this is a critical thing when you're trying to work together - is that both bankers and programmers are literate.
"Literate" is the word I use to describe the sort of person who processes text efficiently. I hold literacy to a higher standard than, say, the people that tell me 97% of Canadians are literate. Maybe so, but I'm sorry, hardware engineers can't spell. That goes for assembly language programmers too, and I'm grossly overgeneralizing, but my generalization goes almost exactly opposite for good high-level language programmers.
Maybe you noticed the trend too, and thought it was just a coincidence. But it's not.
By my extended definition, many "illiterate" people can read and write... but they'd rather not. It's a last resort. Illiterate people would rather have meetings and "facetime" and phone calls. They also prefer diagrams over long-winded explanations. There's nothing really wrong with "illiterate" people, I suppose - let's call them "visually oriented" or "spacially oriented" people instead, and it suddenly sounds better.
Illiterate people are hard for literate people to get along with. They don't understand why programmers like to have long email flamewars to resolve their problems. They don't see the point of developing documents collaboratively in a wiki. They prefer shorter and more abstract, not longer and more detailed. They can't skim. They can't search. They don't understand irc. Being the vast majority of the population, they agree in these respects with almost everyone, and so they assume the literates are just doing things wrong and our methods are somehow horribly inefficient: "Geez, it must have taken you all morning to type that up! Why didn't you just have a meeting?"
...Illiterates are frequently slow typists.
But bankers are literate. Of course they are - they have to be. Their whole profession is about spending long hours avoiding people, working with long, complicated legal documents, writing things down so they don't get forgotten or misquoted, and checking long columns of numbers, making sure nothing gets lost, because one mistake messes up the whole thing. Hmm. Avoiding people, complicated documents, concentrating, columns of confusing numbers, one tiny mistake screws everything up. Does that sound like anyone you know?
Programmers are totally capable of dealing with this sort of people, but they let differences of external style - mostly the conservatism, I suppose - stand in their way. But little things like that are less important to collaboration than the fundamental communication channel. If you can talk to people effectively, you can deal with them. Or so I claim.
Hmm, have you ever seen an accountant using a wiki?

So a friend of mine on facebook 'liked' one of her friends pics, of what looks to be a 91 honda. something seemed off with the lights, as they were extremely bright and very blurry, so i loaded the pic up. after investigation i discovered they were 3k hid's installed in stock housing. i proceeded to explain to them the law regarding hid's, how unsafe what they had are, and provided documentation on how to properly install them.
now i have an army of angry kids wanting to beat my ass cause i 'dont know **** y0' and that they cant be illegal since theyve been driving around with them for the past year.
a whole year with incorrect, illegal, unsafe, blinding hids? dear lord im staying off the road now. but hey, when they kill someone with them, ill be sure to join the PROSECUTING team and make sure their ass goes to jail for a very long time, just so i can say 'told ya so.'

I would really like to read any studies done with hives with and without pollen patties to have a better understanding.Thoughts, experience, links or any info appreciated on the matter.bee-nuts
As with many things in beeking, it will depend on location weather, and pollen and nectar flows and times. Here where I'm at, I get good strong flows from mid to end February through end of March, slows some in April, picks up strong in May for blackberries, slows in June, picks up end of June thru end of July for starthistle and black locust. After first of August, I get no flows. The hives will be packed with pollen on August 1, but it will all be gone September 1. I find in my area, it's very important to supplement pollen and feed sugar water in abundance from end of August when I pull honey, through the middle of October. By middle October I stop the sugar water and will cut back and stop the pollen by November 1. This will get them built up with younger bees and full of cured stores before weather turns cooler and moister in November. It will give them stores of pollen for brood rearing to start up again in middle January to tide them through until middle February when pollen once again starts coming in.
The fact that I do not move my colonies I don't do anything in comparison to the migratory bee keepers. In my area the stuff that blooms first is mostly pollen sources. With a good strong colony and good queen I have never had a problem with early build up. My biggest honey maker is Tulip Poplar, wild black berries and a few other. If I don't have my honey by June 1st, then I am out of the game. Usually the bees store honey and pollen in the brood chamber with their winter stores. This is arranged different than what is stored in the honey boxes. I very seldom get pollen in honey supers.I have put out plain wheat flour once or twice in the 10 years I have been at it.If you stand at the entrance and watch the incoming traffic you will get a general idea of how much pollen is being harvested. You also get to see the different colors. :)doak
After combining, make sure to keep close watch so you can give them more room as needed.When combining it is very easy to let it slip up to the point they will swarm if enough space is not provided when their notion comes to think they are running out of space. Guess I'm just getting spaced "out". :roll:In doing it the way you are talking about, it will be very easy to make a split from a large colony at the end of the flow, plus you have your other queen which will have expanded her domain by then. Presto, 3 colonies from one in a season plus Honey. I think that would be a good way to make increases and harvest some honey at the same time. :)doak
Come April 1, depending on how my two best colonies are doing, if they both survive, I may do that very thing. Not expecting the third one to make it. :'( :)doak

|Wheels & Tires The place to go for answers on wheel types, tire sizes, offset, wheel patterns and more.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
'...........the better gripping tires on the rear obviously increase the rear grip............'
This can actually bite you hard. If using the old tires on back, they will have a tendency to slide out at lower speeds, possibly alerting someone to a problem. The new tires will hold better then break loose at a faster speed from higher forces, a much more dangerous situation since at higher speeds, rarer and more unexpected. A car that slides out easier forces one to be a better driver unless he is an idiot. Refer to driving on ice........
Fronts do indeed wear more than rears, but no matter as the fronts wear much rounder because of the weight on them. The extra rubber you have on the rear because of less wear is a misconception since the rears ALWAYS tend to wear out of round, leave them on without rotation and see if you can get them to wear down to wear marker, 9 out of 10 times they won't. You'll end up yanking tire for shaking and noise with what still looks like plenty of tread on them. Been there several times, you can jack up wheel and whirl it to see the obvious out of round condition. Rotate that to front and you can pick up on it far easier than a front worn same amount of time even if front worn way more. And then your round front tires that you just put on back are now going out of round.........why I don't rotate at all on FWD. I'd rather have the little bit of noise in back to tell me how tire wear is going back there.
I don't live where there's lots of ice, but when I get it I simply slow down. Virtually no rear end sliding around then. In the rain the front tires will hydroplane even with lots of tread left on them, that can be severe and absolutely silly to me to have new tires on back then, up front they stop the hydroplaning way before you are back end sliding. If back sliding in rain then again I suggest you slow down. I don't drive like an old woman and seem to have no trouble at all.
It appears to me all the suggestion of new tires on back are in response to legal issues (incorrect and often not caught up with the rest of the world) and people who seem to be driving too fast for conditions so as to lose control of rear end. Granted, simple straight line panic stops can test tire performance but driving competence/incompetence or ABS will far outweigh whether the new tires are on the rear or not. Having ABS actually makes up for not having new tires on rear. Add to that the fact that at stop the weight transfers to the front and it should be obvious the new tire not going to help much if it does not have maximum traction to work right.
To me you are giving away a massive long term amount of guaranteed much surer directional control along with steering performance, driver comfort and ease at the wheel, and stability over the long run for a second or two of what you HOPE is better at panic time. Modification of personal driving habits will reward you far more than new tires on the rear ever will.
|if you can't do tires on all 4 corners, the new rubber should always go on the rear. i don't think it has been covered here yet but it comes down to most(not all) drivers ability. most people can recover more easily from under steer than over steer. abs braking helps out a lot in emergency braking when under steer can occur. in an over steer situation, people tend to panic, over correct and lose control completely. the better gripping tires on the rear obviously increase the rear grip and hopefully limit over steer.
Gotta admit to doing it BOTH ways over the years, with different cars.....
One FWD car in particular, adding snows to the front just made handling more neutral with all season's in the rear STILL had a slight understeer in the snow....
Another NEEDED four corner snows 'cause the rear would get "twitchy" before the front...
So the first one would get new tires in the front if replaced in pairs, while the other got 'em in the rear DESPITE a desire to have the best tread in front in the rain....
So, my answer would be to put new tires in the rear UNLESS you are very familiar with your car's handling & through testing come to a different conclusion for THAT particular vehicle.
|Our policy is that we cannot rotate any tires to the front of a vehicle that are more then 2/32nds less than what will be on the rear. So, if they have half-worn tires on the front and new on the rear, then no, we wouldn't be able to rotate them. If you're burning up more then 2/32nds of tread in 6,000 miles you should probably rotate every 3,000 the first few times.
|Do you also refuse to rotate them after 6000 miles when the fronts have worn down even further and the rears have no wear at all?
Put them in the rear. It's the same reason you should never install just 2 winter tires in the front of a front wheel drive car. If you start to slide taking a turn and the back end goes first because you have less tread ie. less grip, it's much harder to recover from the "spin". As compared to the front tires breaking loose and the car just pushes a little bit, this is much easier to control.
When we install tires here we will ONLY install them on the rear for liability reasons, and yes, there have been lawsuits over it. As for when we sell only 2 tires, we always put the following on the invoice....
Customer advised that mixing
tire types/sizes or new with
partially worn tires may cause
unpredictable handling,braking
or loss of vehicle control.
New tires should be installed
on the rear axle.
|I always change in pairs only and NEVER put the new ones on the rear, there are several reasons why you shouldn't if you just give a moments thought to it. I tried both ways many years ago on FWD and ever since deciding on new fronts only have never looked back. We in Texas only worry about winter tires maybe one day a year, and rainy weather rewards front new far more than rear new.
This really depends on the circumstances, IMO. but the answer remains the same for me. If you've faithfully rotated your tires, the fronts will be the first to fall below the wear bars and need to be replaced. It only makes sense at that point (if you're only buying 2 tires) to put the new ones on the front, and continue rotating when the front wear catches up with the rear.
If I was replacing two tires because one or two were destroyed by a road hazard, I'd still put the new tires on the front for the same reason...so the wear will eventually even out. If you're at all concerned at all about maintaining your tires, you're eventually going to rotate them anyway, so why not start out with the good tread on the front and let them start evening out as soon as possible?
RWD cars can be different, depending on the car and the driving habits. My sister's '79 Mustang wore out the fronts first, because she cornered like a maniac, but the car didn't have enough power to put much wear on the rears. My friend's '12 G37 coupe wears out the rears first because she's a lead-foot. Just pretending for a moment that the G-37's tires could be rotated (they can't due to the stagger), I'd put the new ones on the rear of the G37 and start rotating when the wear started to even out from front to back. But in the case of the Mustang, I'd put the new ones on the front and start rotating.
More interesting winter test videos here:
Of course the OP is in Alabama and doesnt see snow but the same holds true (not as extreme as ice but think wet/slippery conditions)

Hi there,
I'm Italian, so unfortunately I can't really say I'm a native speaker, although I would say my english is pretty good. I've got a bachelors degree in German and English language and literature and I'm thinking about an online TEFL course. Would I have any chances to get a good teaching job in China? Besides,I was thinking about signing on at teflJobplacement.com which would cost me(including the tefl course)about 700 euros, does anybody know if this really works???

Availability: Out of stock. This item is no longer available for purchase.
- Description
- Reviews
One Reversible African Mudcloth Jacket, two great looks! When is a jacket more than a stylish article of clothing? When the pattern—taken from traditional Malian mud cloth, or bògòlanfini—is hand-painted on hand-loomed cloth. A dramatic, lightweight neutral, perfect for spring through fall and cool summer nights, you can change the look by wearing the striking reverse of this fashion-forward Reversible African Mudcloth Jacket. Handsome wooden buttons. Pockets both sides. 100% cotton. Imported. NOTE TO CUSTOMERS: Both the MEDIUM and LARGE sizes of this jacket have a roomier fit. You may wish to consider ordering a smaller size. Sizes, S, M, L, XL.
Museum Provenance
This eye-catching Reversible African Mudcloth Jacket recalls a late 20th-century Malian mud cloth, or bògòlanfini, in the rich textile collections of our National Museum of African Art. Traditional Malian mud-dyed cloth garments feature geometric motifs representative of medical, historical, social and moral concepts. The labor-intensive mud cloth process involves fermenting iron-rich soil, dyeing cotton cloth (often locally cultivated and spun), soaking the cloth in a leaf-infused solution, drying it in the sun, then carefully staining the negative space surrounding the design motifs with the fermented mud. Finally, the cloth is washed to heighten the design contrast.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

Hey everyone!
My name is Darryl, I'm 27 and I'm currently living in London. I've got a BSc (Hons) Degree in Multimedia Computing and 3 years experience as a Web Developer and part of the E-Learning Development Team at a College in NW England.
Earlier this year I left this position as I wanted to try something different. I've been researching my options and I'm interested in becoming an English teacher in Germany. I know I've no experience in this field but I've been led to believe that I could do a TEFL course and gain a qualification.
What are my options, realistically. I speak basic German and I'm working quite hard learning this. Is it essential that I speak fluent German to work as an English teacher in Germany? Also, where could I study for a TEFL qualification? Would it be feasible to study in Germany?
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. I'm extremely excited about the possibility of a new career.
Kind Regards
Darryl Young

Danielle Givens' is 8,500 miles from Connecticut, settling into the Philippines, the place she will call home for the next 27 months as a Peace Corps volunteer.
Givens `10 has wanted to be part of the organization ever since James Monahan, her UNH professor in criminal justice research, spoke about the Peace Corps in class one day. "I started researching it that night," she said. "His constant encouragement to do something "outside myself" helped me to feel I was making the right decision, even years later."
Monahan, who screened applicants to the Peace Corps as a graduate student, said Givens was "a joy to have in class" and he knows the Peace Corps experience will stretch her in innumerable positive ways, as it did others. "I 'm very happy she has joined the Peace Corps. The Philippines is a marvelous country," he said. "She will return a renaissance woman."
For the first three months, Givens is living with a host family in Manila. She spends four hours each day learning Tagalog, the official language. Givens took courses in Russian at UNH, Latin and Spanish in high school and taught herself Korean, so she isn't worried. "I like to think my brain is a sponge, which may make Tagalog easier to practice and use in real life," said Givens, who majored in criminal justice at UNH and received her master's degree in social work this spring from Southern Connecticut State University.
After three months getting culturally acclimated, Givens will be sworn in as a member of the Peace Corps. As a "Youth & Community Development" volunteer, she has many options. She may work with at-risk youth or with victims of human trafficking. Or she may volunteer at an orphanage, a mental health facility or a community center.
"I am most looking forward to learning about my community, what they are struggling with and how they've risen above their circumstances," she said. "I hope to collaborate on camps, projects and ideas with volunteers from all sectors of the Peace Corps."
Elizabeth Chamberlain, public affairs specialist for the Peace Corps Northeast Regional Office in New York, said volunteers are assigned to one program and often develop a secondary project once they see the community's needs. "Our volunteers live in the community; they speak the language and become a local person," she said. "They gain insight into what the community really needs and they begin to work on that."
Givens said she would like to do staff training around mental health sensitivity, stigma and trauma. She is one of 136 Connecticut residents serving in the Peace Corps.
The challenge, Givens said, will be to remain patient and flexible. "American culture ingrains the idea of `now, now, now- work, work, work' into your very bones," she said. "It's often hard to remember to take a break, breathe and go with the flow. Things don't always work out as planned and being able to adapt is an essential characteristic of a Peace Corps volunteer. Learning to be patient and accept things for what they are will be a big but life changing experience for me."
In early July as she was preparing to leave, Givens said she was wistful about the thousands of miles and many months that will separate her from good friends and family. But she plans to use social media to keep in touch and will post regularly on her blog.
She hopes to write a book when she returns. "I have been planning my Peace Corps adventure for quite a while now," she said. "And it's finally coming true."


text: I have just moved to Madrid to teach English and have got a job very quickly as the director of an academy was in a bind. She told me we will be following books and i will not need to make lesson plans, which makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. I am to turn up an hour before i have to teach to look over what i will be teaching that evening. The class are beginner children and i am very worried i will have trouble controlling the class as i don´t speak any Spanish. Does any one have any tips, after hearing all these comments I'm really worried i´ll hate it and get on a flight back home as I'm not enjoying Madrid all that much either. Any advice?

Jessica Simpson stepped out in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday sporting a clingy maroon dress (from her own maternity fashion line!) that showed off her growing baby bump.
The pregnant "Fashion Star" mentor, 32 -- who arrived at the Belk Southpark mall with fiance Eric Johnson and sister Ashlee Simpson in tow for an event to promote her clothing line -- paired the floor-length, dark red dress with a sporty black blazer.
Despite her difficult pregnancy (Jessica has been plagued with severe morning sickness this time around), the fashion mogul appeared happy and energetic.
The second-time mom-to-be even treated waiting fans to an appearance by her and Eric's daughter Maxwell, setting their adorable 10-month-old on the autograph table for photographs.
PHOTO: Jessica Simpson is all smiles with daughter Maxwell Drew in North Carolina!
Earlier this month, during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Jessica let it slip that she's expecting a baby boy while lamenting the difficulty of her second pregnancy versus her first.
"The crazy thing is I never knew a wiener could make me nauseous!" she said, before bursting into laughter at her accidental revelation.
"Well, I guess I just told the world that I'm having a boy!" she added.
The bubbly blonde is due this summer.

I noticed Hutch Carpenter's (@bhc3) post about this proposed session in Enterprise 2.0 conference where he's talking about different forms of competition. I had to share this excerpt from chapter 4 on Social Tasks of my book on the different forms of working together on a social/collaborative task.
Another excerpt from :
Another excerpt fromSocial Networking for Business
"The next step of defining a social task is to consider how members perform this task collectively. Social software aggregates the behavior or content from many individuals into overall results or collections of results. However, you can use different methods to perform aggregation:
- Independent: Members work on the task separately, but the results are aggregated across all members. Their discrete actions and results might not be directly visible to others: the results are visible only as an converged aggregate value (for example, closed ballot voting).
- Autonomous: Members work on the task separately of each other, and their results are distinctly visible to other members as separate work. This creates opportunities in which members might benefit from information that multiple other members share. A collection of divergent results across the many members or a single convergent result (such as brainstorming on ideas) can occur.
- Consensus: A group of members works directly together on the task with the intent to deliver an overall collective result, even if it's not unanimous or convergent. Tasks often require analysis, discussion, and debate to arrive at a collective answer. The ultimate goal is to converge and deliver a single collective result, but members might not always agree on one answer and there sometimes produce multiple options as results.
- Deliberative: A group of members works directly together without the intent or necessity of coming to a consensus on a single result. These are typically discussions or interactions that can spread out in many directions, depending on how subsets of members interact.
- Combative: Members must compete against each other to derive the best result from the group, denying other choices.[i] Unlike consensus forming, only a single answer is provided from all the choices the group generated.

Does anyone know if the Buddha give any adivce on how to overcome desire for alcohol (and other substances)?
Ive had trouble with drink and drugs in the past and was wondering if there is any kind of meditation or recollection that helps with overcoming desire for them, since i still get very strong cravings for them that still effects me from time to time that doesnt seem to go away
Im aware of the numerous discourses that stress the draw backs of sensual pleasure but is there any kind of direct contemplation? or are there even modern teachings that deal with it?

Last week I finally published the third document in the collection "EA Involvement In IT Governance": "Integrate EA With ITIL Service Portfolio Management." It follows the two previous documents "Integrate EA With Project Portfolio Management Governance" and "Integrate Enterprise Architecture With Application Portfolio Governance."
I say "finally" because most of the ideas for these documents were collected during the research Diego Lo Giudice and I did for Forrester's EA Forum 2010, nearly one year ago. If the ideas are quick to come, they sometimes take a long time to be realized in a document! I apologize to the customers who were waiting for the final document.
The goal of this collection of documents is to demonstrate typical EA involvement in IT governances — an area that is usually more or less "beyond" EA's scope. We also said in the EA Forum presentation that these potential involvements are not mandatory and highly depend on your particular EA objectives. EA involvement in IT governance should remain in line with the recommendation we made in Forrester report "Avoid The EA Governance Versus Agility Trap" and in which we still continue to believe: Governance is a lever to obtain nonshared (or even diverging) objectives. When objectives are shared, then governance is not required, and the approach should remain agile.
