Many people in Israel are cheering the victory of their soldiers in halting rocket attacks from Hamas, but those individuals will have to live with their own consciences in explaining why so many innocent people in Gaza have been killed by Israeli bombs. Dr. Izz el-Deen Aboul Aish is a gynaecologist working at Israel's Shiba Hospital near Tel Aviv. He was working in Gaza caring for wounded Gaza civilians and reporting via telephone to colleagues in Israel about the situation in Gaza. On Friday evening as he prepared for a live interview with Channel 10, they heard his anguish cries as Israeli shells hit his home and killed three of his daughters and sent one to the hospital with shrapnel in her eye. "My daughters, they killed them, Oh Lord, God,God, God." The Israel army claims there was a sniper on the roof but Dr. Aooul Aish says there was no one there, that no one was firing from his rooftop.
Dr. Aish did his residency in an Israel hospital and refused to allow Hamas to use his home for firing weapons. His children have been killed. The Israel army can argue there was a sniper, but no care was taken to avoid killing innocent civilians. The nation of Israel's behavior in Gaza violates every principle of the Jewish religion which respects human dignity. The people of Israel may have halted rocket attacks, but was it worth the lives of over 500 innocent civilians including hundreds of children? Is this what Israel has become- a nation that is willing to kill hundreds in the name of "security." I wonder how many Israel citizens tonight can sleep peacefully.
It would be a wonderful message if Israel citizens honored the work and dignity of Dr. Aish by building a new hospital in Gaza that was staffed by Israelis.
What price salvation now??

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Yup, it looks like it was the battery. AAA was great. They came out and tested the battery, as well as tested my alternator. The alternator passed the performance test. Turned out the battery wasn't holding a charge anymore. After the new battery the car performed just fine.
I have to say thank you, thank you, thank you to all that were here to help. I am astonished at just how helpful everyone is. This is definitely a great community.
Slight chance the battery could be your issue, though when they suddenly die they usually stay dead....
For example, a number of years ago I rescued my Wife at work when the car wouldn't start & stay running after it had been jump started (NO issues before it was found to be totally dead after driving to work normally). Disconnected battery & got it home jumpered to a good battery in the pass. footwell to avoid carting tools a batteries the long distance to her workplace. It's possible for them to short out internally with no warning when a plate falls apart, I've only seen one recover to die again later on one occasion, so it's not a likely scenario. One that's NEAR it's end did once cause me a similar issue, bad enough to stop at a Wal-Mart near the next Thruway exit to buy tools & a battery for immediate replacement (years ago & miles from home) just to be able to continue on the planned trip!
Keep in touch, and let us know how it goes. Between all the folks here someone has seen near any eventuality happen, so the ideas continue from most likely to most far-fetched 'till you get it working right....
|Ugh...battery is completely dead. I checked all the connections and they look fine. Think I'm going to need to charge the battery or get a new one before I can test the alternator. I'll probably give AAA a call to test and or replace the battery.
Check the alternator pig tail. The wires are know to become brittle and break. It may be temporary loosing the connection to the alternator and stalling the car. If it happened while you were turning, you changed the forces on the car which could have shifted the wires just enough.
When I changed mine, they felt secured when the plug was still in the car but as soon as I clipped it and pulled the connector, the middle wire literally fell out.
One odd possibility, if it ONLY stalls with a lot of steering input & NO throttle input at the time.
There is a pressure sensor on the P.S. pump. At high steering loads it tells the computer to increase idle speed to prevent stalling (rpm might not actually go up, the idea is to give it a bit more throttle with the IAC to prevent stalling)
So, if that connection is unplugged by chance, or the sensor isn't working right anymore, you would get a stall when steering sharply with no throttle applied - as in tight turns or parking lot maneuvers...
Of course any OTHER issues that cause low idle or poor running may be the REAL problem - just wanted to throw in this possible direct cause if all else is OK.
|Don't take it out, most parts stores should be able to test it while it's on the car.
|@zetecDon - Thanks for the reply. I believe the hard steering was because the car was stalling and loosing power. My wife didn't give me much info to go on, so that's what I originally posted. I noticed when it stalled on me, it did the same thing. But it was an abrupt stall, and the steering wheel was impossible to move after that. There was no whining noise either. For now, I think I'm going to have to look up how to take the alternator out and have it tested. Again, much thanks for the reply.
|You can have the alternator tested at any auto parts store. The alternator is not your problem. As for the hard steering, check your accessory belt and power steering pump. If the pump is having trouble it will make a lot of noise when you try to steer the wheel. But I would check the belt first to make sure it isn't slipping.
I finally took it out for a test drive. I first let it sit in idle for about 10 min. No stall. I then took it out for a short test drive. No stall. I let it sit in idle for a few more minutes and took it out for a longer test drive. This time, just as I was making a turn it stalled. All my warning lights came on at once, with a flash, and then the whole car abruptly died. I tried to start it again, but had no power.
I saw the same thing a couple of years ago when my alternator went bad. I put a lot of miles in the car, roughly 500 a week. I probably could look up how to test the alternator, but I don't have any equipment for that. Any suggestions?
Steering wheel going stiff, and then car needing to be restarted- sounds like a stall to me.
If you're over 120k miles, then the timing belt is suspect, but stalling could be related to multiple problems. We have problems with the PCV vacuum line collapsing and causing low idle which might cause stalling. The IACV can also cause stalling if it sticks in the closed position. Old spark plugs can cause stalling, as well as cracked coil problems. The fuel pump can also cause stalling- for example- if the stall occurs after a turn, that would be a sign of a fuel pump going bad.
Use your intuition, and get a better description of when and how it stalls, and that will help with diagnosis. Remember, you must be able to recreate the problem in order to diagnose it- otherwise you're just throwing parts at the car until you fix it. That can be costly and inefficient.

Having recently repainted my Rubies helmet I thought I'd give the inside the 'once over'. I gave it a new visor (the old one was REAL bad) as well.
Here are some pics of what I did ... essentially I followed the layout of the Riddell helmet inside (no sense going with one of those fantastic Marrow Sun kits on a crappy Rubies!!). I started with foam from a local craft shop and cut the foam to the desired shapes (lots of cutting and trimming to get the right size and thicknesses) and spray painted them. Then I glued them into place inside the helmet.
Rather than go with a hardhat liner I added more foam pieces until the helmet/foam fit comfy on my head. In the end it turned out okay !
I had to work around my switches and fan which I had already glued in place, but that didn't end up being too big a problem.

Windows 7 Libraries and Network Folders
Have you ever tried to add a network folder to a Windows Vista or 7 library, but couldn't properly map it? Or even worse, have Windows completely ignore its files via the built-in indexer? Well, there are fixes, and all are counter-intuitive. Until Microsoft "fixes" this issue, we'll explain how to work around the issue.
You can read Jamie's latest TG Tip and then discuss it here!

You know, you would THINK that after years of Linux and NFS making running a network so easy, that Microsoft MIGHT just figure out how to get its act in order for it.
We use win 7 in the office now, and I do love it as a business OS...but the way it handles network folders always has bothered me. Fortunately, we actually get a little bit of a benefit from using Offline Sync, but indexing is a HUGE feature to finally have and MS really made things silly.
Thanks for the tip, Jamie, I think I might implement this on things I don't want going through the sync process.

I am always fearful of Sync operations, deleting or corrupting something and having it propagate through the chain. My backup chain is usually out of date, but the important stuff i tend to do manually to make sure it's safe. I have duplicates and triplicates across my hard drives and network storage, all in different filing structures since it's an archive that's been built up over several years, some of it from when i had no filing system at all. I've slowly been going through, standardising the structure, but always end up with additional categories for various things and the 'Misc' folder becomes a dumping ground.
The libraries actually helped, since it provided a quick way to view it all at once instead of having multiple explorer windows open, but the lack of network support was just seriously disappointing. Hence what forced me to look for a workaround.
The one feature that's missing now is something that every OS has, even previous Windows, something that Microsoft thought to remove for some bizarre reason.... directory size in status bar..... why oh why that was removed is beyond comprehension. Even a quick Ctrl + A to select all doesn't show the total folder size, but partial selections do... i guess they threw convenience out when they introduced user-friendly. Why would you need to see a directory's size... very simple, to compare to seemingly identical directories and see if they match, as well as tracking down misbehaving applications that like to create 20GB log files... (firewalls, SQL.... you know who you are).
The purpose of Microsoft's constant Explorer blunders is just saddening to think about, the split panel view of Win 3.11 was better than anything they've come up with since. Though feature lacking, it worked. Now they are forcing 3rd parties to create file managers that actually work in a productive fashion. It's a shame most cost a fair amount or are so over-the-top, like Total Commander. I wouldn't mind being more proactive with finding an alternative, but the volume of shareware and adware alternatives is very off-putting. A file manager is this last thing i want to 'practice' with and have it screw something up.

Meh, I haven't really had any problems with win 7 and sharing except when WL Sign in assistant gets installed then it kills my streaming to my orig Xbox.
BTW the tip posted seems like a solution to a backwards problem.... If its an external drive on another PC why not have that PC share it? If it was a NAS wouldn't it show up it your network locations so I don't really get the problem. And, couldn't you just add a shortcut to the folder you want?

The problem is with the Library feature, if you have a NAS or File server, and you want to place a network folder within a library, it will not work. Sharing a folder and making it available on the network is easy enough, but if you want to make that network drive or folder available within a library, you can't, unless you use the fix stated.
Libraries are a little different from normal folders. They do not contain data, they act like a aggrogate, it provides quick access to various scattered files and folders. For example...
If you had a large collection of music or movies, it's too big to store on a single storage volume like a hard drive, you have it spilt across different locations. These could include a File Server, a NAS box and multiple Hard drives connected to your local PC, internal and external. Now, you would have to access each drive and network storage separately to manage them. So you would have;
C:\ Music
That's 4 locations to manage. What the library does is pull them all together to a single location - Libraries\Music. However, if you try and add the \\server1\media\music directory, you would get an error like the following:
That's where the solution posted comes in. It's a matter of convenience really, keeping separate folders and drives of various locations, all neatly combined together. Libraries also provide quick save access within applications, since it has its own listing.
Another way to look at a Library is like an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird. You have multiple email accounts you need to manage, 3 or 4 yahoo/ymail, a couple MSN, AIM, maybe your own mail server. You use the client to organise all the different accounts, so you don't need to log into multiple websites, log in as another user, etc. The client provides a single access point to all of them.
From a more productive point of view, working in an office, you're working on a new project, some of the data is kept on a public server, some on private servers, some of it on your local machine. You have your Word templates on a public server, some Excel statistics on a private server, another public folder for presentations to store Powerpoint files, maybe an image repository, another private for meeting minutes, PDF's, Audits, whatever, they are all over different networks in a very complex business.... or just a poorly managed one. If they didn't have a DMS (Data/Document Management System), or the DMS was down, you would have to go through the maze of directories to get to everything. A library could be used on a per project basis to provide a single location for files and folders involved. It would be cumbersome, but it could be done.
A shortcut just links you to another directory, and a single directory at that. A library is like a shortcut to multiple directories and files simultaneously.

it aint working...
first I got:
C:\Windows\system32>mklink /d \\MYBOOKWORLD\Public\My WD_Backup tx2500\Memeo\My
WD_Backup tx2500\D_\My Pictures D:\NETSHARE\My Pictures
The syntax of the command is incorrect.
maybe map it??
C:\Windows\system32>MKLINK /D D:\NETSHARE\My Pictures P:\My Pictures
The syntax of the command is incorrect.
on a search someone said spaces in the folder name couldnt be there.
i renamed both.
C:\Windows\system32>mklink /d P:\MyPictures D:\NETSHARE\MyPictures
The system cannot find the path specified.
so this is where i am at. windows 64x home edition. tried making & deleting the folder a few times

When typing in path names with spaces in the directory name, you can use quotation marks ( "D:\NETSHARE\My Pictures" ) to prevent this kind of problem.
On an aside, I too have been having difficulty in getting this workaround to work again since the article was published - possibly due to a windows update at some point. The existing link still works, but new ones do not, so I'm in the process of trying to recreate the steps.
I'll update here as I find out.

Ok, a tool that'll help map a network share to a Library - called Win7 Library Tool - available here...
My only complaint is that it needs to be installed, but it's functional. Load it up, add existing libraries if you want (first icon). Create new library, add a directory, be it on a server or elsewhere, then set one of the directories as the save location, close, apply, done.
If you want to search the library, or even file contents, you can enable a forced search option within the search folder options under...
Windows Explorer -> Tools - > Folder Options...: Search Tab - Always search file names and contents
This had to be done since the 'File Contents' option under search was not available under a library.

Always check yur lug nuts before towing.
I have had the lug nuts come loose on the side that a power boat was parked when I left the trailer after launching.
Good thing I always get out the star wrench before towing.
Tire pressure should also be checked often. A tire should never run hot. Pull over and check tires and boat after a few miles of high speed towing.

HS, yes, only 1 tire was replaced which was also a no-no. I also agree with you that the passenger tire was only 1 of several potential contributing factors to the trailer accident I described. I know that my friend had become a bit cavalier about trailering his boat and was just being cheap when it came to replacing the tire(s). This incident was a wake up call for him and he realized that we really dodged a bullet since the rogue tire did not jump into the oncoming lanes of highway traffic which could have been fatal for another driver.
I also learned a lot of trailering lessons from this incident - the first is never let your guard down or assume that everything will work as designed or intended. A standard checklist of things to check BEFORE leaving your driveway with a trailer would probably cover the rest.
|Radial vs. Bias Ply: As I said in my previous post, I have both. I believe the bias ply tires give a steadier towing situation. The radial trailer tires give a softer ride to the trailer (accommodating bumps better), but this same flexing movement is adverse to good trailer handling (in my opinion) since sideways movement of the trailer in a curve or emergency situation is not good..the movement can impart twisting motion to the tow vehicle, which could help break the tow vehicle's traction in marginal conditions. That said, I don't anticipate taking the trailer radials off the motor boat trailer.
"purchased a passenger car tire to replace a flat"
One tire only? If you don't replace both sides of the axle at the same time, there will be problems regardless of the tire types. Then, since it was a newly mounted tire, there's no way to know if the rim was damaged, the mounting was improper (tire cord torn during mounting), the air pressure wrong, the torque on the lug nuts wrong....
So at least five things may have been wrong enough to cause that failure. Can't say that the sixth (passenger tire) alone was the problem.
Michelin and Goodyear make radial trailer tires, in some sizes at least they only make radial trailer tires. If I had to choose between no-name Chinese bias play trailer tires, and top brand reliable trailer tires that happened to be radial...I'd trust the top brands. And yes, find the extra dollars to pay for them, one way or another. I'd rather take a Nantucket Sleigh Ride than ride on Chinese tires.
Single axle---trailer tires
Dual axle ---raidal tires as long as they meet the load requirements.
Run either tire within 2 psi or higher than their rated max load rating cold.

Those are the only advantages of the radial for trailers I know of, there are others that apply to vehicles, but they don't all apply to trailer use. on vehicles they have the same advantages, plus they'll provide a smoother ride all around and generally provide better traction.
In my opinion, stiffening the sidewall for trailer use reduces the advantages of using the radial in the first place.

I was helping a friend this past spring to haul his MacGregor 26 S and he had gone out and purchased a passenger car tire to replace a flat on his single axle trailer. I was following behind in my car when we got up to highway speed and the trailer started acting 'squirrely'. Then the new tire popped off and was bouncing across the highway while the trailer gave off sparks. Luckily, no one was hurt but our collective pride was in a shambles.
This problem likely occurred because the tire was not properly torqued down but may have been helped by the fact that the passenger tire did not seem to track properly which backed off all the lug nuts and then bye-bye tire.
This is not an expense that should be incurred often. I would get all new trailer tires and hope they last a long time.
Good luck.

The Radial ply allows the sidewalls to flex on corners keeping the Tread more level on the pavement for better traction. That benefit for steered vehicles has been clear for many years.
The problem is for a Trailer is that same side wall flexing - That Radials Do So Well - does nothing but bad things when your trailer starts whipping around. Tread Traction is of relatively little importance for your trailer because by the time things are so bad that you are "breaking traction" with your trailer tires your trailer has probably already flipped or whipped you off the road.
If they have now made Radials with stiffer sidewalls to basically defeat the purpose of the Radial ply for twice the price - fine buy them if you wish.
|I keep hearing people mentioning trailer tires of the radial and bias variety. What are the benefits and drawbacks to either type?
|I went through this a little over a year ago...had to buy a pair each for our C22 and our motor boat. Trailer tires are different from passenger car tires....they are made for infrequent use/long storage times and heavy loading (check the load ratings of trailer tires vs. passenger tires), with stiffer sidewalls to reduce side sway. Trailer tires are made in both radial and bias ply constructions, but both are different from passenger tires of either type. They are a little more expensive than low end passenger tires. The brands will likely (with exeception of Goodyear) be brands you have not heard of before, and only a few companies make them. In my search for brands (plus experience on motor boat trailer), I purchased Tow Master (bias ply) from Cabela's by mail....replaced both the tire and the wheels on C22 trailer as the old wheels showed a bit of rust. Used MAXXIS radials on the motor boat, since I could not find the Tow Master's unmounted. Do your own search on the internet....some of the more frequently encountered trailer tires have a real marginal marginal/quality record. You need to go with real trailer tires (the load range will dictate this), and one thing you don't want to do is to mix radial and bias ply tires of any type. Also, the discussion has been about passenger tires vs. trailer tires. Light truck tires are available also, but again these are not really suitable for trailer tires, as you investigation will show.

text: :-D Found a nice bee hive, until we cut down their tree. Looking to make a contact I asked a guy i knew that worked for a power company if they had run ins with honey bees. To my surprise he said that they just cut through one about a month ago and is still there :shock: And it was just a mile and a half from my house. :shock: So I took a drive over to inspect what I was dealing with. It was a good size oak tree that carpenter ants had hollowed out. The top had snapped off with the strong wind storm we had at the end of July, so the power company cut the top off. By doing so they cut thru the top of the hive just missing it but the hive was exposed to the weather. The tree was now only about 10' high. We ended up just cutting it down and then cut the hive into two manageable pieces which we reassembled back at my beeyard. Not sure if we injured the queen but I did see eggs after a quick inspection of some comb pieces. Only time will tell. We did put a medium hive box on top of the tree and sealed up all the holes to force the bees to enter and exit out the bee box.

I am an English teacher at a University in China. I teach specifically Oral English. I have a class of freshman International Majors (they did not make it into college, but their parents payed for them to get in anyway, and they will study abroad after 2 yrs). I am having difficulties with this class. Because they did not pass the national test to make it into college, their english is very poor. There is a wide range of abilities. There are 24 students in the class. About 8 of them have decent english and can write several sentences when given a prompt and can have a short conversation with a few grammatical errors. There are about 10 students who know a little english, but seem very afraid to use it and maybe confused about how to put the words they know together, so they do not try. Then there are about 6 students who seem to know very little english and cannot even write a single sentence and will not answer outloud any questions I ask, even one word answers. They are also very rude, it seems they have been spoiled. All of the students in my other classes seem to be respectful and want to learn. However, most of the students in this class act bored or not interested and do not pay attention and talk or try to sleep instead (I have given them rules about all of this). The students who know the least english also never pay attention and listen.
These students have me for oral english twice a week. They also have reading twice, listening twice, and writing twice. 8 english classes a week.
I have several questions. How can I help those students who are ready to move forward without leaving the students who know so little behind? How can I help them be interested in the topic? If my responsibility is oral english and they have so many other english classes (all with chinese teachers), how much grammar and vocab should I try to teach since it seems they know so little? How can I try to make the students who do not want to talk comfortable?
Thank you so much for any advice, activities, or other help.

FRONT & REAR camera install. Savin splitters
Hi there guys,
If anyone is looking for info to install the rear view camera then head on over to the Dynavin thread.....http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...hlight=dynavin.
And check out post #4.
Further to that post.
I have also now fitted a front camera, to help eliminate parking damage to my splitters on my front bar.
Here it is mounted next to the left splitter.
First bit of info that will help in the front or rear install, Is that there is available, an AV line that has an activation line running internally, and exiting at each end. this can carry power to the camera, or from the camera, if it has reverse light power activation, and the DVD player can be connected to the reverse active wire on the back of the DVD. saves searching for reverse + power to turn on the AV camera input..... see below
I ran the camera wires up from under the headlight, along the inner fender to the DME housing, in thru a little grommet, and snipped a small hole in the main harness boot, stretching the hole to feed the AV connector thru. and out into the DME / electrical case.
Next I located the white plastic mount on the fire wall. an easy place to feed the cable thru to the under dash area.
See the red arrow.
and on the other side is the main fuse board, ( RIGHT HAND DRIVE ) and the back of the plastic mount.
In the drop down fuse panel.... you will see 3 distinct sections. the whole lower row is active all the time. the upper row is split into 2 sections, left side is active when accessories is turned on at the key. right side is active with ignition on ready to start the car. you will see several open fuse vacancies, and can insert a blade connector into any of those, but make sure you add an inline fuse to protect your electrics.
NOW i have run the AV line to the back of the DVD, where the rear view camera is connected to the REAR AV IN. I picked up a $4 AV splitter and plugged both cameras into that line.
You will see below my fingers that the lower AV line has the small red wire coming from it, That is the power source to the front camera. rear camera gets power from the reverse light.
(see the Dynavin thread.)
Next is the power switching method to run both cameras.
And to keep the voltage separate from the front and rear, this is what I did.
from the electronics shop, I got hold of some small ZENNER DIODES. they control voltage direction. with the silver band being on the exit side of +pos. they will block power coming from the silver band side of the Diode. So you can join 2 of these on the silver band side and then power thru one wire will not cross over to the other side.
Next image you can see the ON/OFF/ON switch I have mounted in the panel next to the DSC button.
+pos from the fuse board is fed to the middle connector on the switch backside.
the 2 wires with the Diodes on are also connected, one to the left and one on the right. the switch works backwards.... pushing on the left side button, connects to the right wire, and vise verse.
SO. the little red wire from the AV is fixed to one side, and will not get power when the switch is thrown the other way, because of the Diodes. and regardless of left or right switching, both sides power up the DVD rear activation wire. that opens up the camera AV cable source.
While I had the dash trim off I decided to fit the IR receiver for the digital TV remote. Drilled a small hole and filed it out some, then using double sided 3M tape, i mounted the IR receiver.
Here you go, all done and workin a treat.
View from the rear, with the switch activated and in reverse gear.
View from the front bar, out of reverse now, switched to the other side only.
And in this shot the car is 18" from my workshop wall, the block of wood is low enough to just clear my splitter, but just flush to the tip of the splitter. the image is in reverse, and the fish eye effect makes it hard to judge at first.
Anyway hope this is of help to some of you.

Is it possible to flip the image so its not backwards? Also, how do you turn power on and off for the front camera (I know the rear gets it from the taillight and will automatically engage the screen). Do you have to keep the switch in the off or rear position? What happens if its in front mode and you throw it into reverse?

nice work.
there is a setting so it won't reverse the screen if you want.
i really like the front, MitE46 had one years ago.
but....isn't that front camera going to get really dirty at that location?

And There is a few on Ebay, I was not sure about putting in a link, as some people do not like the ebay promotion, and better to do your own search using the camera details i have given, to avoid the larger version camera, that will not fit.
the trigger to activate the TV screen is via the new dash switch. on/off/on.
when I put it in reverse, I flick the switch to the right. and when going forward to park, I flick the switch to the left. when switched left, the extra internal wire in the AV cable gives power to the front camera too. very simple.
And not needed all the time, of course. when in reverse and switched forward... there is a fight to decide which signal to display, but no damage, just 2 AV signals at once, but why do that?
The cameras are pre set, flipped image, but not a problem at close range,
and I guess you clean your car occasionally so take the time to wash the lens.

Hi all, I'm new to this so if I stuff up please excuse me.
I know this is an old post, but I am in the process of installing a Dynavin clone with front and rear cameras. After having read this post a number of times I'm still confused with the wiring set up. In particular the wiring of the trigger wire for both cameras. If it's possable would you have a complete wiring diagram.

More Like April Is the Coolest Month
What!? You don't have a tent for your car? You better get on that!
But never mind all that, because it's Spring! And in your area, your child is going to want things to do and enjoy that don't involve sitting at a desk doing homework. And anyway, they'll be doing enough sitting during the summer, when all they want is AC and video games.
So take advantage of the season and get your child a few cool things they can wear or use or throw across the lawn and they'll be able to get that activity they so desperately need. And you'll be able to get the rest you so desperately need. Remember: if you're sitting near the window where you can hear them, legally, you're still an excellent parent.

School officials at the Scots College in Sydney, Australia, had a sigh of relief when it was discovered their students did not use school computers in order to present anti-semitic material on Facebook. Not only was the school innocent, but they pointed out there are scores of web sites on social networking sites with comments such as "Aussie Pride! Love it or GET THE F— OUT!" Scots College Principal Ian Lambert blamed TV programs like South Park for encouraging young people to be sarcastic and make derogatory remarks about groups of people. He proudly boasted, "We cannot substantiate any activity by current or former students in relation to this matter." However, he will meet with students charged with posting the anti-semitic material to discuss possible punishment like not being allowed to have membership in their Old Boys Union.
It should make school officials happy their computers were not used in sending out insulting comments about Jews. The severe punishment of not being able to belong to the Old Boys Union undoubtedly is equivalent to sending these poor boys to prison. I gather this means no more drunken orgies or hanging around the place making anti-semitic remarks. Oops, I forgot, the remarks are made away from school grounds which means the school has no responsibility.

For so many Christians, sharing their faith and hope in Jesus Christ is something we know we should do, but it is something we simply don't do.
As a new civil year begins, many make life-changing resolutions to improve their situation, enhance their relationships or make this world a better place. The variety of resolutions is as broad as the many facets of our lives and as difficult or easy as the habits we have formed.

text: While we knew she was struggling, I never would have predicted such a low finish for Caroline at Nationals this year. She had no life, no spark, she looked like she wanted to be anywhere but on the ice there. Then at 4CC, she came back a bit. What are your thoughts? Is she done or is she going to stay in the game, and what does she need to do to stay competitive? My honest thought? She needs to go back to the drawing board and rework her jumps, especially toe jumps and get rid of that horrid and injurious mule kick technique. What does everyone else think?

I'm sort of sympathetic to Sarah Palin. Granted, she's awful, but she's subject to a LOT of concentrated sexism (some of which she is complicit in). And I think that many of her moves are of minor political brilliance (that is to say, attention-getting).
Anyway, her charisma and possible smarts are completely obscured by her lack of erudition. To me, she sounds like a peppy teen writing Bible fan-fiction (link is not safe, just hilarious). Which gave rise to this, some completely out-of-context quotes from her weird resignation speech (above).
So, Sarah Palin, taken out of context:
- It's energy! God gave us energy.
- I do not want to disappoint anyone with my decision; all I can ask is that you TRUST me with this decision - but it's no more "politics as usual".
- Bold visionaries knew this - Alaska would be part of America's great destiny.
- In fact, this decision comes after much consideration, and finally polling the most important people in my life - my children (where the count was unanimous... well, in response to asking: "Want me to make a positive difference and fight for ALL our children's future from OUTSIDE the Governor's office?"
- So much success in this first term - and with this success I am proud to take credit... for hiring the right people!
- Even those debt-ridden stimulus dollars that would force the heavy hand of federal government into our communities with an "all-knowing attitude" - I have taken the slings and arrows with that unpopular move to veto because I know being right is better than being popular.
- If I have learned one thing: LIFE is about choices! [Ed. note: Really?]
- I've explained why... though I think of the saying on my parents' refrigerator that says "Don't explain: your friends don't need it and your enemies won't believe you anyway." But I have given my reasons... no more "politics as usual" and I am taking my fight for what's right - for Alaska - in a new direction.
The whole transcript is like this. Full of incomplete sentences, half-finished metaphors, ALL CAPS, and punctuation. The weird thing is that it's actually worse in her speech. In transcripts, the endless hyphens and ellipses are almost poetic, but they're landmines in her speech.

1. The packages we see around here are not shaken through an excluder...there are drones in the packages.2. If it is the overwintered local feral population you are hoping to get drones from, they will probably produce drones later than the overwintered kept bees (package genetics?) that are fed in early spring.deknow
beesnweedsI too am wanting to push for early queens as a way at trying to beat out the africanized genetics in my area. What I have done is to provide the girls with foundationless and or drone comb to them in the fall. Then I have been feeding them like mad. I am hopeful that since they are being fed and feeling pretty sure of themselves they will start to produce an abundance of drones "early." This would then allow me to graft queens and give me a better chance of them mating with genetics I prefer.I am still pretty new and have alot to learn and foul up before I get it right, but I think we have the same goal.Jason
I did not know about them flying earlier but did hear they were faster than European drones

Junior Connor Panas hit a two-run, walkoff home run to give the Canisius baseball team a 12-11 win over the University at Buffalo at the Demske Sports Complex on Wednesday afternoon. The Golden Griffins improve to 11-7 on the season and win their home opener for the third time in the last four seasons.
Freshman Jake Lumley was 4-for-5 with three runs scored and two RBI while senior Ronnie Bernick went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI. Senior Ryan Coppinger was 2-for-4 with two runs scored, an RBI and a walk as Canisius posted 16 hits on the day, recording double-digit hits for the 12th time in the last 16 games.
The Griffs scored the first three runs of the game, getting an RBI groundout from senior Jose Torralba in the first and a two-RBI single from sophomore Anthony Massicci in the second. Buffalo (8-6) scored the next eight runs in the game to take a five-run lead in the fifth inning.
Canisius cut into the lead in the bottom of the inning, using an RBI single from Lumley, RBI single from Coppinger and two-RBI double from Bernick to make it a one-run game. Canisius reclaimed the lead in the seventh, which started on a lead-off single from Lumley. Bernick beat out a single to second and senior Shane Zimmer was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Panas came in as a pinch hitter and hit the first pitch he saw to center, tying the game for the Griffs on a sacrifice fly. A balk during the next batter would give Canisius the 9-8 lead. The Griffs added an insurance run in the eighth as freshman Christ Conley singled with two outs, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on an RBI single from Lumley.
Buffalo scored three runs in the ninth inning, taking advantage of two HBP, two wild pitches and a walk. A two-out, RBI single from Tyler Mautner tied the game and an RBI single from Chris Kwitzer gave Buffalo the 11-10 lead.
Bernick led off the ninth with a single and after Zimmer flew out to right, Panas jumped on a 2-1 pitch from Kevin Hughes (1-3). He sent the ball over the right-field fence for his first homer of the year and gave the Griffs their third walk-off win over Buffalo in the last four seasons.
Junior Brandon Bielecki (1-1) received the win after allowing three runs in the ninth inning. Canisius used six pitchers in the game with freshman Josh Shepley starting and going three-plus innings. Freshman Zachary Trumpler struck out three batters in 1.2 scoreless innings while junior Eric Stolzenburg threw 1.1 scoreless innings, striking out two batters.
Canisius continues its nine-game homestand when the Golden Griffins open MAAC play this weekend. Canisius hosts Saint Peter's in a three-game series that starts on Friday. First pitch for the doubleheader is set for 1 p.m.
Game Notes: Canisius defeated Buffalo for the 13th time in the last 17 meetings… The Griffs had a walk-off win at the Demske Sports Complex for the 13th time since 2007. Canisius had three walk-offs at home last season… The walk-off homer from Panas was the first by a Golden Griffin since Sean Jamieson against Buffalo on March 30, 2011… Bernick now has a five-game hitting streak… Lumley is hitting .571 (12-for-21) since March 9… Panas has six hits with seven RBI since March 10… Junior Jesse Puscheck extended his streak of reaching base to 22 consecutive games.

Grilled Salmon with Cheese Sauce RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4 1 5
TIP: Spreadable cheese makes a tasty sauce for grilled fish. It comes in several flavors and can be found in the specialty cheese section of your grocery store. Grilled Salmon with Cheese Sauce, developed by our home economists, uses just five ingredients. The creamy sauce complements the delicate flavor of the salmon, and the tomatoes make a colorful, nutritious side.
Recommended: 42 Recipes to Boost Your Vitamin D
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 4 teaspoons Greek seasoning
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1 carton (6-1/2 ounces) garden vegetable cheese spread
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Thread the cherry tomatoes onto metal or soaked wooden skewers; set aside. Sprinkle Greek seasoning over salmon. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
- Grill salmon, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5 minutes. Turn and grill 7-9 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Meanwhile, grill tomatoes for 5-8 minutes, turning frequently.
- In a microwave-safe dish, combine cheese spread and milk. Cook, uncovered, on high for 1 minute; stir until blended. Serve with salmon and tomatoes. Yield: 4 servings.

"I thought the salmon was delicious with just the Greek seasoning over Jasmine rice. I felt that the cheese sauce was way too heavy for my taste. By the way, this was the first time that I bought Greek seasoning. I purchased the Cavender's brand and LOVED IT. I sprinkled it over the tomato kabobs and over roasted asparagus that I served on the side. YUM"


text: Ive seen a lot of not very supportive comments regarding her skating recently, but I really like Ksenia Makarova. I think it was very brave to fight for being on the World team in 2012 against all the upcoming youngsters in Russia and I found it very gutsy of her to try to add a triple Lutz to her LP just before worlds. Hope it gets more consistent next season with a bit more time to practice it! If she is on form, she has a lovely flow on the ice, nice spins, is very elegant and she skates well to the music (and to different types of music). I loved her Short Programme this year and the way she portrayed the music there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylvYDThM58U&feature=related Here is another programme of her that I enjoyed to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzZwUdj9O_M I wish her well for next season Go Ksenia!

MV's new conservation sound studio opened for business at the end of August. Conservator Sarah Gubby hosted an open day to herald the event and to show staff this wonderful new facility.

Sarah joined the museum as a paper, image and audio-visual conservator in February 2010. Among other things, she's been working with MV librarians to assess the condition of our rare books collection. In recent months she has been planning the new sound studio, which will assist her to preserve the museum's many recordings, such as interviews, oral histories, music, films and more. Some of these recordings exist on fragile media like wax cylinders, while others are in more stable formats that are now obsolete and haven't been played for years.
Before now, there weren't any dedicated spaces where staff could play back AV material. "There were pockets of room, but acoustically they weren't very good," explained Sarah. The new studio is a soundproofed, dedicated space where AV material can be played back in privacy, which is especially important for culturally sensitive items. Sarah has decked it out with a bank of both old and brand-new equipment that can accommodate almost any medium or format. This means that playback and digitisation can now happen in-house. The studio will also be useful for creating new recordings such as podcasts.

Said Sarah, "Certain forms of AV materials are robust enough to travel out of the museum for copying, such as video and movie reels, but there are lots of very fragile and old pieces. Wax cylinders are particularly fragile. If conditions are too dry, they become brittle; if too humid, they become languid and malleable. And the more you play them, the more they wear down."
Sarah will assess whether AV items are sturdy enough to play, how they will be played, and she'll work with curators to determine whether their content should be transferred to a digital format. The studio contains all the cleaning and playing gear needed to do so. "To get good sound, you need to have clean equipment – a clean record and clean needles. So we've bought various types of very soft brushes and cloths to remove dust and a special record-cleaning machine." The studio's new turntable can play twelve different speeds and there is a variety of needles and differently weighted cartridges.

The studio itself is a small room with an eclectic mix of furniture. Much of it Sarah salvaged from other parts of the museum, but there is one large cabinet that is definitely not standard office furniture. "I picked it up for a bargain from a Chinese antiques sale," she said. "It's the only thing I could find that would close and fit the Edison horn in it for storage. It's got good mass to it as well – I was adamant that I needed a very solid surface for the turntable. That's important, to help minimise reverb."
The unusual cabinet in the studio is large and heavy enough to accomodate both the enormous old Edison horn and newer turntable.Source: Museum Victoria
I asked Sarah which material she was most excited about working on. She didn't hesitate to say "the interviews and other sound recordings in the Indigenous Cultures collections. Those, and the birdsongs in our Sciences collections. It will be exciting to unlock their content after all this time, and share it with new audiences." These recordings will be invaluable for research and interpretation, so watch (or rather, listen out for) this space!

Suspected drug carter thugs showed open defiance of the Mexican government by throwing two grenades into crowds celebrating the nation's Independence Day. Two military fragmentation grenades exploded simultaneously about 500 metres apart in the city of Morelia's main plaza as people were dancing and singing. President Felipe Calderon acted quickly by urging citizens in a televised address not to be afraid. "These illegal acts were clearly attacking our national security, committed by true traitors who have no respect for others or the country." Drug cartels are responding to the president's campaign against them which has involved 25,000 troops who are attempting to regain control of their nation.
The attacks came only days after 24 bodies were found bound and killed in execution-style in a rural area outside of Mexico City. Unfortunately, an poorly-paid police force which lacks the firepower of drug lord thugs is simply either unwilling or unable to confront criminals. At the heart of this conflict is the decision by the United States to make possession or sale of drugs to be a crime. What would happen if drugs were legalized and sold under government supervision? Would drug lords continue being drug lords? Would death and destruction be reduced. Certainly, it would allow 700,000 people to leave American jails and escape the school for crime that is known as "prison" in the United States.

Is it time to join the 'preppers'? How to survive the climate-change apocalypse
The floods and storms that have wreaked havoc across Britain this winter could be just the beginning, and now a growing number of people are making preparations for the end of the modern world. Here's what you'll need to do to stand a chance
house with moat in flooded somerset
When you have no choice. When soldiers are on your street, your neighbours have begun to steal from you and plague-sufferers are camped in your drive or perhaps slightly before all that. Preppers have a catch-all term for this moment: the SHTF scenario, in reference to the day when the Shit finally does Hit The Fan.
"It would be the last resort for me," says Steve, a 57-year-old prepper from Essex, who runs ukpreppersguide.co.uk. "Some people seem to think it's the first thing to do. The moment something happens, they grab their rucksack and off they go and live in the wild but if you've ever tried that, it really isn't easy. Where I am at the moment, I probably have enough provisions to survive for about nine months. That doesn't include going out and getting your own food."
When the moment comes, however, you may not have much warning, so it is important to keep what preppers call a "bug-out bag" ready at all times. Ideally, you'd leave at night, when you won't be followed. "The idea behind leaving your home is to get away from danger," Steve explains, "which means getting away from everybody and going under the radar, off-grid, so you can't be found then just survive for however long is needed before you can come back to civilisation."

Bugging Out
Think carefully about where to go, and give yourself several options. You'll need a piece of land perhaps only a few acres where you can hide and find enough to eat and drink. In the UK, it is difficult to hide in open country, so woodland is good. "Anywhere that's secluded, that's probably the key to survival," Steve says. "Get as far away from people as possible, and stay there. Don't make yourself known. I've got two areas I go to that are less than five acres. Two forests absolutely full of wildlife, with a stream running along. If you can get near a river, you can fish."
Another thing to bear in mind is the time of year. In the winter, food may well be scarce and water more abundant; in the summer, the reverse, so you may want to prepare an option for each season. You also need to consider how you'll get there. One location may be perfect, but if you're relying on petrol and roads, in the SHTF scenario it may be inaccessible. Give yourself at least one location you can walk to.
As practice for keeping themselves hidden, or just for the buzz, some people engage in an activity called "stealth camping". Essentially this means sneaking into places they are not allowed to be, staying the night and leaving again without ever being detected. If you've bought your own bunker, obviously you don't need to bother with this. Just make sure the hatch is strong, and that you can get there.

Sound the fanfare! Business-to-business (B2B) marketing budgets are on the rise!
Today, Forrester published results from a joint study with the Business Marketing Association (BMA) that looks at CMO-level expectations for overall program budgets, the composition of the 2014 marketing mix, and spending related to technology and innovation. BMA members may download a complimentary copy here.
In this research (subscription required), we found that, on average, B2B marketers expect to see budgets increase by 6%, compared with last year. This outlook is cautiously optimistic since 45% of respondents hope to hold budgets flat with 2013 and another 22% expect to see still more decreases. Pressure to hold the line on spending continues as 73% of respondents say they still feel budget pressure. (You can also see AdAge coverage of this survey here. And from CRM.com here.)

In the summer Lauren joined Arsenal his presence in the Cameroon Olympic team was monumental. When the unfancied Africans had two men sent off against Spain in a dramatic final, the team rallied to force a penalty shootout. The crucial spot kick was eventually scored by Lauren with a coolness that belied the heat of the Australian sun and deep tension of the occasion.
Such calm is what is needed now amongst Arsenal's penalty takers. It seems that over recent seasons the supposedly simple job of converting from twelve yards has become a problem which has threatened to prove very costly for the club. On Saturday it was Patrick Vieira's turn to be added to a growing list of spot kick failures. An unlikely candidate for the role, considering his failure against Galatasaray in the UEFA cup final of 2000, Vieira let the chance to net a winning goal, on the ground he had been sent off a season earlier, pass with an effort that befitted Twickenham ahead of Sunderland's Stadium of Light.
Unfortunately for manager Arsène Wenger this has been a consistent problem which has ultimately hampered their ambitions for silverware. The most memorable example is perhaps Dennis Bergkamp's miss against Peter Schmeichel in the 1999 FA Cup semi-final which could have denied their rivals a historic treble. The curse then continued with the team being knocked out of all cup competitions the following season on penalty shootouts to Leicester, Middlesbrough and Galatasaray. Even their title challenges have been undermined by this basic problem- last year Nelson Vivas missed at Charlton to allow Manchester United to gallop clear by Christmas.
Marc Overmars threatened to break the trend with a brief stint as the designated taker during his time at the club but his passing efforts lacked conviction. Since then Thierry Henry has steadied the ship with a decent run of successes from the spot, which this season have guided the club through the first phase of the Champions League.
On Saturday however, Henry was sidelined through squad rotation and could only watch his fellow Frenchman scoop the ball over the bar. Shaking his head he might have agreed that Vieira was a silly choice of taker. The miss begged the question as to where the strikers were hiding. Why can't players, whose sole responsibility is to beat the goalkeeper with any chance they can get, take penalties. Ultimately this says more about the Arsenal attack than anything else. Bergkamp, Kanu and Wiltord are clever players who use their trickery to score goals- but when it comes to putting the ball down and stroking it in from a simple chance, such as a penalty, they are uneasy and shy.
Henry's deputy against Sunderland should have been Lauren. The African has shown that in the most pressured situation- for a gold medal- he has the composure to score. With the rate Arsenal go through penalty takers he is likely to get his turn. However if he is low on the rota, we might yet see a host of other big name Gunners crumble on the spot.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

You can reasonably lower the car by cutting the front coils 1/2 or 1 full coil off the bottom end.
The center of the lower control arm pivot (bolt) to the center of the ball joint pivot should be level. If the car is no lower than that, it should drive ok and not be too bad bottoming out with cut springs.
Park it on level concrete and have a couple of fat buddies sit on the core support to lower the front. Look at the tires and the control arm. Is that good enough height? You decide.
I'd try that first. You are going to end up buying new front springs anyway, so might as well try to cut them.
www.readershotrods.com drag cars/georges
Thanks Xntrik.
I really just want the car dropped a little in the front. Being able to lower it up and down at will does not really concern me, as long as it rides good after I lower it and don't have any real problems w/ it bottoming out.
From what you mentioned, it seems like dropped spindles would work the best for me. I am definitely concerned about keeping the correct geomety and a good ride. I just wanna clost the gap between the fender well and the top of the tire.
The way the rear sits as of now is fine w/ me. I had the leaf springs reconditioned a while back. It rides and sits good as it is.
My budget isn't huge. I'm hoping I could do it for possibly under $500.
Thanks again for the help. If you or anyone else have anything to add I'd appreciate it.
First you have to decide what your goal is.
Do you just want it low, or to go up and down at will?
Are you willing to change the front and rear suspensions?
Do you have an unlimited budget?
How low do you want it? It is probably 2 " lower than new already.
Lowering stock suspension is limited by 2 things. Drive and ride.
The lower control arm pivot and the lower ball joint pivot should be horizontally level. If you go lower than that on a stock suspension, it will not drive well.
Achieving this lowering is best done with new lowering springs, rather than cutting coil springs, which will help prevent bottoming out on bumps.
Dropped spindles are a better idea. Check with FatMan's about availability.
Rear leaf springs are best done with reverse eyes and minimal use of lowering blocks.
At the top of this thread page, click on knowledge base, then type in suspension lowering and click search.
Help with Lowering
I am new here and a novice hotrodder. I have a '63 Thunderbird that I would like to lower a few inches but an unsure about the best/proper way to do so.
I have read things about cutting coils, getting dropped spindles and installing air bags, but I'm really unsure of which is the best way to go. I have never done this so, skill is definitely a factor. I have no problem learning how to do things and I'm pretty handy w/ tools.
Anyway, if anyone could possibly tell me how they've lowered their cars or point me to some tech articles that I could read, I'd greatly appreciate it.
