If you have no bias toward either one, I would build an AR from a kit. If you're worried about assembling the lower yourself (and it can be a bit hard for someone who's never done it), you could always buy an assembled upper and an assembled lower and just snap them together.
Del-Ton has flat-top no-frills barrel assemblies for $395, or you can build a custom upper however you want.
They also have completed lowers for $180 without the buttstock or $240 with buttstock.
So for $635 plus shipping and $15 for an FFL transfer, you could have a professionally built AR from a respected company, and all you'd have to do is snap the recievers together.
If you want to try your hand at assembling the lower, their stripped lowers are only $120 and their rifle kits are $465. Total price of $585, but a bit more work on your part.
I certainly have nothing against AK's. I own a WASR-3 and it's a great gun. But ergonomically, my AR's are lighter, more comfortable to handle and shoot with, and easier to sight. Not to mention, they are far easier to customize.
The poor accuracy claims about the AK are largely myth, in my opinion. They will shoot plenty well so long as the barrel isn't shot and the sights are straight. The rub is that sometimes the imported Romanian guns are not the greatest in terms of quality control. But if you know what common problems to check for and you find a good one, they are perfectly fine guns.
Again, for a general go-to gun, if I had to choose one, it would be an AR. They're just more versatile and easier to customize however you want.

Vatican synod on family ending amid divisions
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - A contentious gathering of Catholic bishops ends on Saturday with a document that is not expected to break major new ground on how the church should minister to gays and to divorcees who have remarried.
The meeting, or synod, of more than 300 bishops and delegates is due to end on Saturday afternoon after participants vote on more than 1,300 proposed changes to a draft of the text.
While the advisory body does not have the power to alter church doctrine, there is great anticipation on the kind of language the document will use to discuss the most contentious issues.
The pope, who is the final arbiter on any change and who has called for a more merciful and inclusive church, can use the material to write his own document, known as an "apostolic exhortation".
Bishop Lucas Van Looy of Ghent, Belgium, seen as a progressive, told reporters he hoped the synod would lead to "the end of judging people, the end of a church that casts judgment over every situation".
Another progressive, Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Germany, lamented that some bishops still saw the church "as a castle surrounded by enemies that has to be defended".
The pope called the two-part meeting - the first session took place a year ago - to discuss ways to shore up the family as the basic cell of society amid a changing world while looking after those who do not live up to the church's ideals.
While many topics were discussed, much of the attention was devoted to the large number of Catholics with failed first marriages who have divorced and remarried civilly. Continued...

Try separating the ports with -p.
ex: nmap 192.168.1.1 -PS -p 21,25,80 -v
I have a question. I bought fyodor's book for NMAP and it's been great! I am really learning the internals and best practices. But one thing i'm confused with is the host discovery flags PS PA PU. Syntax should be P[A/S/U]<port list>
Essentially, it should be probing for hosts sending either SYN,ACK or UDP probes to the ports suggested. However, when I use it, I detects hosts that are up but on ports I didn't specify.
E.G. @my house
nmap -PS80,21,25 -PA80,21,25 -PU53 192.168.1.0/24 -v
will yield results for my http server,ftp,dns but also scan ports up to 4444 and higher.
Any reason this is happening? Am I using the flag wrong?
Thank you.
Lying is my life.
Try separating the ports with -p.
ex: nmap 192.168.1.1 -PS -p 21,25,80 -v
You're doing it the right way. The thing is the scan isn't limited by those probes/ports. After doing PS/PA/PU it still does the normal run of the default popular 1000 (or 1287) ports. If you don't want nmap to do that then you have to limit the ports to scan with the -p as Lincoln suggested.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
The best choice is to use those discovery flags with -sP parameter, so it won't start SYN scan on active systems.

Rexburg women relive vacation aboard stranded cruise ship
REXBURG, Idaho - Two women from eastern Idaho are getting plenty of rest, since they just got back from their vacation aboard the Carnival Triumph.
Triumph is the cruise ship that infamously spent much of last week powerless and stranded in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico.
While Triumph passengers from around the country are telling horror stories of a nightmare at sea, the two women from Rexburg are singing praises for a top-notch vacation.
Charity Brown and Johnna McClellan flip fondly through vacation photos from their cruise onboard the ill-fated Carnival Triumph, but when an engine room fire forced the vessel to power down, stranding itself in the middle of the Gulf, that's when the women say the real fun began -- after the initial panic.
"We're like, "Oh my gosh! What's going on,'" McClellan recalled of the night of the fire. "It smelled like electrical fire. It started smelling like sewage, too. And it was pitch black."
McClellan and Brown, who will soon be sisters-in-law, were staying in an inside cabin. They said the stench and pitch darkness forced them to join the massive sheet-tent city on deck.
"We went and carried our mattresses up a couple decks, and all of our bedding," Brown said.
"We kind of created our own little home there," McClellan added.
On deck, the women they say they made some of the best friends they'll ever have, which included crew members.
"We're like besties for life now," McClellan laughed.
Brown said several crew members would serenade them with their guitars at night, forming an impromptu band called "Lifeboat 11," which happened to be the closest lifeboat to where the women slept.
Food was scarce among passengers, but McClellan and Brown said it was even worse for the crew.
"They sacrificed them a lot," McClellan said of crew members. "A lot of them were hungry because Carnival wasn't making them not take breaks. They were choosing not to take breaks."
Carnival reimbursed fares for everyone on the trip, giving passengers an extra $500 plus discounts on future cruises. Both women are glad to take the cruise line up on that offer.
"I would gladly go on the maiden voyage of the new Carnival Triumph when they get it fixed," Brown said.
McClellan will marry Brown's brother in May. Their honeymoon will be on another Carnival cruise.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, a leak in a fuel oil return line started the engine room fire that shut down the Carnival Triumph.
Two lawsuits have been filed against Carnival since Triumph returned to land Thursday night.

The dollar rose above ¥99.50 in Tokyo trading Monday, helped chiefly by further gains in Tokyo stock prices.
At 5 p.m. the dollar stood at ¥99.59-61, up from ¥98.81-84 at the same time Friday. The euro was at $1.3046-3047, almost unchanged from $1.3045-3047, and at ¥129.93-130.00, up from ¥128.93-96.
The dollar carried over its solid tone from overseas trading last week, when investors became less risk-averse after sharp rises in Japanese and Chinese stock prices.
The dollar briefly topped ¥99.50 after the release early in the morning of the Bank of Japan's "tankan" quarterly business sentiment survey.
The BOJ survey showed that the closely watched diffusion index for large manufacturers' current business conditions stood at plus 4, the first positive figure in the seven quarters.
But the dollar failed to attracted further purchases as readings in the survey almost matched market forecasts, brokers said.
"Dollar selling by Japanese exporters was strong," a major Japanese bank official said.
"Due to selling by exporters and profit-taking by speculative players, the pace of the dollar's rise turned out to be moderate," an official at a foreign exchange broker said.
The dollar attracted renewed demand in the afternoon as Tokyo stocks turned higher. After European investors joined trading in late hours, the dollar rose to levels around ¥99.70.
With the dollar having hit a one-month high above ¥99 in Tokyo, "the dollar lacks additional positive factors and energy to chase higher ground," an official at a foreign exchange margin trading service firm said.
A think tank official said investors appear to be taking a cautious stance before the release of a series of closely watched U.S. economic data, including the government's jobs report for June, due out Friday.
The dollar is expected to show nervous movements mostly at levels above ¥99 for the time being, with market players keeping cautious eyes on the key threshold of ¥100, the official added.
"It would take some time for the dollar to rise above ¥100 as the currency is expected to face greater selling by exporters," a foreign exchange analyst said.

That's right, Ringo turned 71 today! For his 70th birthday last year, Starr asked everyone around the world to spread the words of "peace and love" any way they could. So, whether it's via text, tweet, or carrier pigeon, we're sure that Ringo would love no other birthday present than for everyone to spread peace and love again this year. The legendary Beatles drummer is celebrating his birthday with a performance with his All-Star band tonight. The concert will take place in Hamburg, Germany where the Beatles regularly performed back in the 60's. At an impressive age of 71, Starr is still rocking and rolling all over the world.
Unfortunately, we cannot all teleport ourselves over to Germany to catch the show, but it's okay, because we are here to tell you that there is another great way for everyone to celebrate! A Hard Night's Day, a distinguished Beatles tribute group, will be at the Granada on Saturday, August 6th. The group will be playing from their repertoire of over 200 Beatles songs! A Hard Night's Day was the winner of the Dallas Observer Music Awards Best Cover Band in 2009! The local group has been performing for 15 years and is truly the real deal. In honor of Ringo, be sure to spread peace and love today, and don't forget to buy tickets to see A Hard Night's Day!

Welcome to Brighton, Hove and District Branch Samaritans, located in the sunny seaside city of Brighton and Hove.
As well as the core Samaritan listening service that we provide from our centre in Hove we also support our local community in a number of ways:
Samaritans support Lewes Prison
Within many prisons, Samaritans have trained listeners to support other prisoners who are in emotional distress. We support the prisoners at Lewes prison and visit on Monday evenings and Wednesdays to support the listeners. All of us involved with these visits never cease to wonder at the skill and dedication of the prisoners who volunteer for the role of listener. They are on call for 24 hours a day seven days a week. The Safer Custody Officer works closely with us and promotes our role within the Prison.
Samaritans gives talks in Brighton and Hove
We regularly receive requests from a variety of groups and organisations asking us to come along and talk about Samaritans. An increasing number of these come from local schools who want to include our specially adapted sessions in their course curricula. This is a fantastic way for us to promote our work to the often hard to reach 15-16 year olds ( Year 11 ) who may at some point in their lives need someone to talk to or who may, themselves, become Samaritans of the future. If you would like us to come and talk in your school or organisation about what we do please do get in touch using the General Enquiries link.

drive over septic tank?
I have a tree that needs to be removed from my back yard. The only way to the back yard is to drive over the septic tank. Is this a really bad thing?
Assume it is a very bad thing. It is very possible for the tank to cave in.
You may be able to put timbers on the ground so most of the weight of the tree service truck is transmitted to the soil on each side of the septic tank. This requires great care since if the timbers shift and let the truck tires down on the tank, you're in trouble.
Driving over the leaching field is also very bad. Timbers will not permit this.
I would shop around for tree experts who can cut the tree down little by little by rappelling down it using ropes.
Do NOT drive over a septic tank with anything heavier than a riding mower.
They will cave in. Period.
Our septic tank is under a corner of our driveway. It's buried by about 2 feet of gravel. It has had cars parked on it daily for 15 years, and has not caved in.
I had the same problem. I had to mark out the perimeter of my tank and leach field and instruct the tree guy to strategically manipulate their equipment so they would not get to close and cause major damage to my system. They were more than willing as they could also damage their equipment. I had access to locating equipment to help as I did not live here when it was installed and it is obviously very important to be accurate.
Sounds to me like the septic tank isn't the real problem
Driving over the tank, or the leach field is just a symptom of the real problem....removing the tree. A reputable tree service should work with you on removing the tree with workers skilled in taking down the tree from the top down in manageble size pieces that can be carried by the crew out to the shredder. Contact a couple of tree services and get several estimates.
99,999 of 100,000 times you do it nothing is going to happen. It's defiantly not a chance I would take though. Aside from property damage people can die. I remember when two years ago a landscaper drowned after a cesspool collapsed and he was trapped under his mower.
UGH!!.... :eek: :sick:
All of the septic tanks that I've seen around here are low quality concrete poured into molds with no rebar and no plan to support anything with the lids but their own weight and a few inches of ground cover to hide them.
Most all that I've seen will not support any vehicle.
Things are made differently here and there.
I have a similar question if I could butt in.
My septic is thankfully on the side of my house and nicely out of the way,but the lateral lines(leaching lines?) extend along the right side of my property extending to the road.
This is an acre,the house is facing south with most of the acre in the front yard. Septic stage right,driveway extreme left.
I would like to alter my driveway to make a circular driveway across the acre+ (I actually have 2acres,driveway I think is actually on the adjacent acre with the pond,more on that soon)
If I do this it will take the driveway pretty much in a half circle across the top of the lateral lines.
Is there any way I could build on top of these? Someone mentioned a foot of gravel and sand I think over the tank.
Could I add a foot of material and then build the driveway over the lateral lines?
Just something I would like to do,have to keep the old driveway as a service road to my shop and garage anyway but would like a circle drive for guest's.
It depends on the soil type, I would think. If you have good, well drained sandy land, you "might" get away with driving across your drainfield lines with minimal damage. However, there will be compaction where you drive over them, which will limit their function there. Definitely do not pave or build over any part of your drainfield. That's just asking for trouble.
You can always move (replace) your drainfield to an area where you won't be driving or building anything over it. Maybe even a single line addition could handle the sectional loss of use by compaction.
With all of the above said, I've known people who drove over part of their drainfield area for decades (sandy land) with no problems, so who knows.
I'm in clay/rocky soil on the bottom slop of a small hill/ridge.
If compaction is what i'm worried about then clay isn't the best to do this with then is it?
I've never actually walked off the septic lines,I have the map drawn when the house was built a couple years ago though.
Guess it is time to walk it off and see how much I might need to drive over. Not sure if it is worth adding to the existing system simply to have the driveway though.
Got any links where I can learn more? Thanks for your help.
Contact your local Health Department, the usual permitting agency, for more information and guidance on recommended septic system activity in your area. With that type of soil, your drainfield is probably fairly large.
Here, in good sandy soil, they only require a minimum of 210' of drainfield line for a three-four bedroom home (such as 3 X 70' lines from the dbox).
Here in the Ga clay, north central Georgia, we are required to install 100 feet of leech line for each bedroom.We can install the Infiltrator system and only need 50 feet for each bedrom.
I've got the on-site inspection report from the new install in front of me and the sketch of the layout is telling me:
Septic is 8ft east from house and there is a pipe on the other side extending 5ft to a square that says L(Ellis?)
It then goes North from L for 65 ft total.
The lateral lines go west,the first being 25ft north of the square with the L. There are 4 more lateral lines branching off every 10 ft after for the remainder of the 65ft total length for a total of 5 lateral lines. If I am deciphering this sketch correctly the lines lay out like this.
1st line is 5' 4" underground and extends West 50ft.
2nd line is 6' 2" underground and extends West 70ft
3rd line is 6' 8" underground and extends West 70ft
4th line is 7' 11" underground and extends West 130ft
5th line is 8' 5" underground and extends West 80 ft.
Am I reading the correctly? If they are that far underground why am I worried that much about compaction? I thought Lateral lines were only 6"-12" underground.
On the sketch the lateral lines are denoted as a dashed line with the length at the end and the other measurements are simply written above each dashed line,which the index tells me is an absorption line.
This tell you guys anything?
Sorry to threadjack,should I start a different thread? I want to know a little more about this stuff.

What does a labyrinth symbolize?
All labyrinths are symbolic.
Steeped in Mythology: Some labyrinths are richly symbolic, such as the Cretan labyrinth, which is connected to a complex mix of myth, symbol, and allegory. At the heart of this labyrinth waits the Minotaur, half human and half bull. Through its winding passageways, the hero Theseus advances toward the center, guided by the inspiration of the priestess-princess Ariadne. The myth of the labyrinth originates with the story of these three characters.
Connected to mind, body and soul: The winding pattern of any labyrinth also represents the circulation of vital energies within our bodies, and that pattern suggests the convolutions of the brain and the intestines--two poles of our body corresponding to our consciousness and its physical vehicle. To traverse the labyrinth is to bring into one wholeness all parts of our being. Walking the labyrinth is thus a type of Yoga.
Seven is a cosmic number: The seven circuits of the Cretan labyrinth correspond with the seven spheres of the sacred planets, the seven principles of the human being and the cosmos, the seven days of the week, and other such sevenfold meanings. Passing to the center of the labyrinth and returning to its circumference represents the involution and evolution of the universe, the coming into birth and the passing out of earthly life of an individual, and--most important--a journey into the center of our own being, the achievement there of a quest for wholeness, and the subsequent return to our divine source.
The circuits of the labyrinth pattern, as one encounters them in tracing the labyrinth's path, have the correspondences indicated below. The numbers in the following list denote the order of the circuits from the circumference to the center, which corresponds to Earth and the physical body. Thus one enters the labyrinth at its third circuit, corresponding to desire, meanders outward, then to the middle circuit, corresponding to vitality, moves inward and meanders back from the center until reaching the fifth circuit, corresponding to the pure mind, from which one enters the center:
| 1. Saturn,empirical mind, Saturday
2. Jupiter, self-identity, Thursday
3. Mars, desire, Tuesday
4. Sun, vitality, Sunday
5. Venus, pure mind, Friday
6. Mercury, intuition, Wednesday
7. Moon, form, Monday
The symbolism of the seven sacred planets with all their correspondences and analogs infuses the Cretan labyrinth with rich meanings by association. A contemplation of those associations while walking the labyrinth, either by your feet or in your mind, will evoke the meanings of its circuits for you.

Beautiful Women: Be Encouraged
Woman so beautiful why cant you see it?
Never mind what they call you; you'll never be it.
You take him back when he strayed
Then regret that you stayed
Because of your fear of being alone, you are constantly played
You hold out for a while, so the brother steps his game up
Got what he wanted; now when YOU call he messes your name up
Sister, that man can't fulfill your deepest needs..
Sex is never an answer it's temporary relief.
That can cause an eternity of pain
Don't expect different results, while you're still acting the same.
Don't be so hard on yourself; when he's to blame,
though I know you are hurt
All brothers aren't the same; some just don't recognize a womans worth.
I know the times we live in, please escape from the trends
Stop playing the harlot, though you say they're just "friends"
Make him cherish the inner workings of your heart
Before you consider sharing your
Victoria secretive parts
Giving away your treasures for recreation, is spiritual desecration
Not your husband, no sensations, that's Christ's declaration
There's no crime in waiting
And any brother who knows your worth will certainly have the patience.
"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies" Proverbs 31:10
Woman so magnificent, a queen worthy of a king
Stop dating jesters; you've seen the drama they bring
If he can't help with the bills, or support your dreams, why bother?
With a man content with being a "baby daddy", and you being a father
Does he tell you he loves you?
Better yet does he show it?
A king will do all he has to, to make sure that you know it
The Bible instructs wives to submit, but only to a man that's worthy
To a man who wouldn¡¦t duck child support to buy throwback jerseys.
Don't FALL in love, instead WALK in devotion, life is an ocean
Often drowning those trying to make it on pure emotion
Draw closer to Christ and be embraced in a virtuous glow
And if a brother ever questions your worth
Kyou might just have to politely let him know
"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart Psalm 27:14
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing..

Is Friday the Last Day For the Hot 107.9 A-Team?
The Hot 107.9 website has already been updated with the new time slots. It looks like Emperor Searcy will be back doing the afternoon drive with Ms. Shyneka. I did like it before when they worked as a team so that's definitely a good look!!!! I know change is constant but sometimes I feel change is unnecessary. The only thing I like about this change is that it puts Rashan Ali in direct competition with V-103's Porsche Foxx, and I would much rather spend my 10am-2pm listening to Rashan than hearing Porsche's awfully engineered show!!!!! I wish Rashan the best in her new timeslot and I will definitely be tuned in everyday!!!!!!!

T.I. Ordered To Pay More Child Support
Superior Court Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane told the two-time Grammy winner, whose real name is Clifford Harris, to pay just over $3,000 a month to LaShon Dixon. He had been paying about $2,000 per month.
The judge also said the 27-year-old performer must continue to pay for the boys to attend private school, uninsured medical bills and expenses related to the children's extracurricular activities.
Tipton Lane also awarded the couple on Tuesday joint custody of the boys, ages 7 and 8. Dixon, 28, was granted primary physical custody. The children previously spent about 40 percent of their time with the rapper.
Dixon's attorney, Randy Kessler, said his client is still unsatisfied with the amount the judge ordered T.I. to pay but is happy to receive more child support.
"Every little bit helps," Kessler said. "She was just getting by with the children, while they lived a different life with their father. It can't be complete opposites on the other side."
An e-mail to one of T.I.'s lawyers was not immediately returned Tuesday.
He also has two sons with his fiancee, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, of the defunct (AJC's words, not mine!!!LOL!!!) R&B group Xscape.
I just don't know what to say. If the kids already spent almost half of their time with TI and Tiny and TI already pays for their medical bills, private school, and other activities, how is the mother STILL not satisfied?!?!? What more could the kids possibly need?

Rihanna in Acid Wash Jeans
Rihanna was spotted out shopping in Paris over the weekend. For those who were scared that the ever so fabolous ACID WASH JEANS from the 80's would make a comeback- SORRY!!!!!! They are here!!!!! Personally, I love acid was jeans. Especially the gray/black ones like Rihanna is wearing. They would pair up nicely with the new IT print of the season- plaid. Here are a few spot where you can grab some inexpensive acid was jeans to experiment with.
ZCO Acid Wash Jeans @ Macy's $48.00 (most similar to Rihanna's)
Lip Service Black Acid Was Jeans @ Hot Topic $39.00
LUX Black Acid Wash Jeans @ Urban Outfitters $48.00

F#CK the Recession- I Want LAMB!
So, the homie over at Pink Diamond PR Blog is about to make me go outside of my financial recession budget I have set for myself. I almost threw-up when I saw these booties on her site. They are the LAMB Camben bootie- $434!!!!! Definitely not a smart buy during the recession so I will wait until Baker's or Steve Madden come uout with the bootleg pair next season!!!!!!!!
These LAMB Noel pumps are also killing me softly. I've always been a fan of green & gold (for obvious reasons for those who really know me)!!!!!

Do You Fit the "Attractive" Mold?
So I get this email in my inbox this morning from Manhattan Media. the email is regarding a club in NYC called Prime that is re-opening this Saturday. I decide not to just trash it (which is what I usually do to most press releases I receive about clubs outside of Atlanta) and I read the whole press release. (For those of you who are like me and get flooded with these daily, you know how hard it is to actually read through an entire press release, unless it's from Garner Circle PR or the folks at Peachtree TV/ TBS).
Anywhoo, have you ever stood in line at an NYC or LA nightclub? Especially those of you have have stood outside the door when there is absolutely no line and you are wondering why you didn't get in? I traveled to NYC a couple years ago and learned then that most attractive girls get in the club pretty easily. I was with the guy I was dating and his friend. His friend didn't really fit "the mold" so the guy I was dating told me to act like I was with his friend so I could get him in with me!!!! WTF? I wondered why he asked me to do this but now I completely understand.
In a city like Atlanta, money gets you in the door. You can be ugly as sin but, if you are willing to pay Alex Gidewon and AG Entertainment one month's rent to get in the VIP- you're in!!!!! Seriously. Here, if you wear a hat- you get charged. Sneakers when you are supposed to have on hard shoes- charged more. Plain Tee when it's not allowed during that night's dress code- charged even more. Money moves this city but, in place like LA and NYC- they don't care how rich you are- it's your beauty that gets you in!!!! Don't believe me? Here is an excerpt from the press release:
With the new Prime comes a new attitude and a new goal creating pleasure for the customer and making the party a fun party. Admission will no longer be driven by bottle sales. If someone looks good enough to get in and comes with the right attitude, they will get in without bottles. Likewise, if someone doesn't fit the mold they wont get in no matter how many bottles they offer to buy; the days of catering to the assh*** who is willing to buy 6 bottles at the expense of the nice guy who wants to pay cover is over. The hassle and "bottle" rat race at the door is now over. Bottle minimums will be replaced with "real estate minimums", where each table (piece of real estate) will be for sale for a certain amount of money; whether bottles of grey goose or bottles of water. Prospective customers will be allowed to combine larger groups of friends to purchase a comfortable section of real estate for their group.

Rapper Webbie is custody after leading police on a high-speed chase in Mississippi on Sunday.
Police tried to stop Webbie in his 2009 Dodge Challenger for a traffic violation but Webbie didn't stop and a chase ensued. During the chase, authorities claim Webbie crashed a into a 1999 Mercury Cougar but kept going. The cops stopped to assist the victim in the Mercury Cougar and Webbie eluded them. Police later found Webbie's Challenger in a Walmart parking lot.
Webbie was arrested and charged with one count of felony eluding, one count of driving under the influence ,one misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana (which was found in Webbie's Challenger) and one felony charge of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle. The two men Webbie was found with were not charged. (source)
So WTF is up with rappers and Walmart? Didn't DMX get arrested in a Wal-Mart parking lot? And TI got arrested coming out of Wal-Greens. Note to rappers- stay the fuck away from any store beginning with the prefix "WAL"!!!!!

Wacksi in Pierre Hardy Pumps
We all know Wack-si can't dress to save her life. So why am I surprised that she chose a boring ass black dress to go with the Pierre Hardy pumps?!?!? She needs to take style notes from ladies that really know how to "PUT ON" when it comes to style.
Cassie was also spotted once again rocking the Pierre Hardin pumps. I wish they would make those in more colors!!!

Trackbar & draglink length
Long story short, When I replaced my steering gearbox I replaced the tie rod end on my DL and just eyeballed the depth when I screwed it in (I had cranial-rectal syndrome). I also replaced my front trackbar with a stock (non-adjustable) trackbar. Toe-in set & steering wheel straightened.
I'm having a LOT of darting left & right when driving but steering is pretty tight. It doesn't necessarily happen when I hit bumps & does it randomly even on a smooth, straight road, There is no dead spot in the steering wheel and I can mostly run straight with the steering wheel at 12:00 but sometimes the steering wheel has to be held at either 11:00 or 1:00 to run straight, also. However, I don't have to steer back & forth to hold a straight line like I did when my gearbox was shot.
Hours of reading these forums makes me think that at least one of my problems is that I got the DL length wrong when I put on the new tie rod end. As I understand it, the DL & TB must be the same length.
What is the tolerance on this relationship? For example, can I be off by 1/8" or 2"?
1 Attachment(s)
The drag link & track bar must be at the same angle, not the same length. And with a stock Pitman arm and stock track bar mount, they will be at the same angle so no worries there.
The tie rod length is set first by adjusting the tie rod length so the front edges of the tires are 1/16" to 1/8" closer together in front than they are in the rear. Then the drag link length is adjusted to center the steering wheel.
Here's a good basic guide to the TJ's alignment procedure... Basic Jeep Front End Alignment
And while a tape measure can be used to measure between the tires when setting the toe-in, the below indicates a more precise/more repeatable way of measuring. It only requires two pieces of 1" square aluminum tubes & two spring clamps. Mark the tubes at the two points to equal your tire diameter & measure between them at the marks.
I have the same angle on the TB & DL so I guess I'm good there. I never stopped to think that as long as my pitman arm was pointed to the rear, the lengths should be the same. :doh:
I guess all of that I read about only applies to adjustable TBs. Knowing that the lengths are OK with the angles being good would be great news except for the fact that I was hoping that the length issue I had read about was the source of my problem. :(
Dry steering test seems good so unless it is the ball joints at the wheels (as recently suggested on "another" forum where I've been documenting my woes as they have changed - that thread title is now very misleading), I'm stuck.
Thanks again for your help today & in the past!
The darting is why I suggested checking/setting the toe-in. I think one of my edits to that post accidentally deleted why I was talking about setting the toe-in. And when is the last time you had your caster angle measured? An out-of-whack caster angle can make the steering less stable.
I set the toe-in after installing the gearbox 2 weeks ago. I double checked the toe-in last week when troubleshooting before ordering the new trackbar. I WILL triple check it Monday since I'm off work part of the day. :thumb:
I never have had the caster angle checked. I have stock CA's so I thought it was set & couldn't be adjusted. :confused:

flashing posts protruding thru a wall cap
we are designing/building an exterior (both sides) wall enclosing a exterior deck space with 4x4 wood posts extending 2' above the wall cap to support a pergola - i'm looking for a good solution to flash where the posts come thru the wall cap
Can you post links to 1) a wide angle view of the (parapet?) walls with the cap penetrations and 2) a close up of a post penetrating a cap?
my apologies - i should have made clear that i am just starting contruction and am looking for a solution before i get too far ahead of myself
In my experience it is extremely difficult to provide a durably watertight seal at the penetration of a roof membrane or wall cap by any type of wooden structural member, for example because the wood will absorb moisture, it will expand and contract both seasonally and shorter term at a difference rate as surrounding materials, it's difficult to provide a durable sealant bond to a weathering wood surface, and for many other similar reasons.
It other words, this type of penetration is an inherently Bad Idea.
your comments mirror my own concerns - and the only system i thought might (?) work would be to countersink a flashing into the posts just above the top of the wall. of course that flashing / post intersection would be subject to all of the forces you describe too...
the follow-up question would be what mechanism would you suggest to suspend / support the pergola above the wall? use steel posts thru the cap? mount the posts on the outside of the wall?

- 2 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 pints fresh raspberries
- 9 ounces mini chocolate chips or chopped bittersweet chocolate
Line two 9-by-4-inch loaf pans with plastic wrap, leaving a 4-inch overhang all around. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the cream until firm; chill.
In a stainless bowl set over a pan of simmering water, whisk the eggs, yolks and 3/4 cup of the sugar until the mixture reaches 155° on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the bowl from the heat. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and pale, about 5 minutes. Beat in 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, the vanilla and the salt. Add 2 pints of the raspberries and, at low speed, mix briefly, just until the raspberries are slightly broken up. Fold in the whipped cream, followed by the chocolate chips. Spoon the parfait into the loaf pans. Tap the pans lightly on a surface and cover the parfaits with the overhanging plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, at least 8 hours.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the remaining 2 pints of raspberries with the remaining 1/4 cup each of sugar and lemon juice. Refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
Unwrap the parfaits and invert them onto platters. Peel off the plastic wrap. Using a hot knife, slice the parfaits and serve with the raspberry compote.

We're not sure if this is just a temporary error or something more nefarious but Google appears to have changed something whereby Windows Phone users are now blocked when trying to access maps.google.com.
Granted, it's not clear why you would want to use Google's less-than-awesome mapping service through a browser, but humor us for a second. The move appears to be a continued approach to lockout all Google services from those who adopted Windows Phones. Or it's just poor service.
We were able to verify on our Windows Phones that when going to maps.google.com we are redirected to www.google.com/m for mobile, regardless of IE10's settings i.e. Desktop mode. Reports suggest that maps.google.co.uk still works for some folks but for us that too redirects, making this an in-motion change that is evidently occurring worldwide.

Because the turbo was still good from the original engine, we asked to have it returned to us for resale. After the engine was put in at the dealership, we asked where the turbo was and they told us the entire old engine had to go to the salvage yard. This was never told to us beforehand and we never signed anything stating this would be done. The way we see it, that old engine was our property and we paid $3,000 for the used engine. Does this sound like a normal procedure? Aren't they just making money off of our parts?

Was Messier (6 Cups) the Greatest Oiler v. #99?
Messier won 5 Cups with the Oilers and 1 almost singlehandedly in legendary style with the Rangers. He was the greatest leader of the past 25 years. Like Lafleur (5 Cups) before him, he never let the Oilers lose, never hung out at centre collecting meaningless points and goals.
The first time the Oilers won the Cup he was the playoff MVP and then in 90, after Coffey and Gretzky were cast adrift as expendables, he won the Cup again.
He then took the hapless Rangers and rather than winning an Art Ross with a minus 25 took them to the holy grail with fearsome 2 way play. He knew that scoring 200 points but giving up 130 goals was not the kind of play that won you respect amongst the Rockets and Gordies and Jeans and Guys, and Bobby's. They didnt play that way and neither did no.11.
For him the only statistic was the only one that really counted; the only reason hockey is played - Number of Cups. And he won more then 99.
He was the most fearsome player on the Oilers and the only one Sather and Pockingnton were reluctant to trade or allow to leave. Others like Coffey and Gretzky were expendable.
His influence on the game is as great as Orr's and Lafleurs - present day leaders such as Iginla and Yzerman looked up to him and him alone.
He was the greatest player on the Oiler dynasty. And like Lafleur, the proud lion, no one had to protect Messier and thats the way he wanted it He fought his own battles. He was a Man respected by friend and foe, unlike his higher scoring teammate.
And Messier never rang up the score late in the game but still was a 50 goal scorer and never whooped it up against the likes of loser goalies like Liut etc. like 99 did.
And when his team needed him most like in the "guaranteed win game", he didnt let them down just as the great Lafleur didnt let his teamdown in the too many men game.
I didnt read your post initially however;
messier was a very good player for a long time.
Greztky was the greatest player for 15 straight yrs
Messier was lucky if he was top 5
Greatest Oiler ever = Gretzky
The oilers were the team they were because they had that great offensive squad of players which relied upon the perpetual scoring line that had kurri and gretzky on it!
Edmonton saw a 27 yr old Gretzky as a aging commodity
Messier wasa cheaper replacement as the # 1 center plus he was a good talent at least half as good as gretzky.
A trade for Gretzky would bring in younger or cheaper players etc Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, Los Angeles' 1st round choices in 1989 (later traded to New Jersey - New Jersey selected Jason Miller), 1991 (Martin Rucinsky) and 1993 (Nick Stajduhar)
No, he wasn't the greatest Oiler, probably as close as you could get though.
He was better than Lafleur though.
Why are you using stuff about him as a Ranger if you are asking who was a better Oiler ?
They will win the cup soon
have you seen the soon to be built
Maple Leafs Square ?
Maple Leafs Square
Your argument reads like the blind devotion of a true fan. But I almost share your point.
Messier was as valuable as Gretzky to the Oiler dynasty albeit less hyped. One of the Top10 centres of all-time and arguably Top5. And one of the best leaders, though that label is notoriously difficult to assess and compare.
That said, I am of the belief that Messier is as complete a player as there ever was, certainly in the last quarter century. He could do everything.
But there's no need to take away esteem from the less complete but brighter light in the stratospheric offensive skills of Gretzky (and Mario).
I think Gretzky is the greatest Oilers. Messier is 2nd with Fuhr behind him.
1. Gretzky
1A. Messier
2. Tikkanen
2A. Kurri
3. Fuhr
People are laughing at your foolish attacks on "The Great One". Face it. The Habs did not have the greatest player of all time. Or the second or even the third. Accept it and move on.
And some of my personal favourite all-time players were on the Canadiens.
Did you watch the Oilers - well obviously not with such a comment, yeah he let in 4 goals, with very little defense infront of him, but there was no way he lets in the winning goal in the big games. To put Esa ahead of Fuhr that is a good one even Kurri is pushing it ahead of Fuhr.
I remember when I was a young Gretzky fan and there would be those kids that were jealous of him so they hated him. Gretzky's life was nearly perfect. He was the greatest hockey player in the world on the greatest team in the world, he was a media darling and virtually never said anything that was not complimentary about anyone. He broke all the records by a wide margin.
Jealous kids hated him for it.
chooch is one of those kids.
Yet more trolling (by both sides) on what used to be the best part of this site. Gretzky's the best Oiler of all time, period. He's the best offensive player in league history, period. He did things in terms of puckhandling, hockey sense, passing and anticipation that nobody else could, or ever will. He saw and thought the games at unprecedented levels.
And oh yeah, Lafleur was a much better player than Messier. Third best RW ever.
And for once, Ogopogo, we agree. Some people are just jealous. And Gretzky has a darn attractive wife.
As for this thread, we all know that offensively Wayne was better then Mark. But who was more valuable to the team? Who was the leader? Who was their most complete player? Oh and without Wayne Edmonton still won a cup but without Mark they didn't.
Your attempts at debunking Gretzky were kind of funny at first. Now not so much........... :shakehead
Gretzky eats babies.
Think about it, people. He's never stated that he doesn't eat babies. Seems suspicious to me.
K10, I think what would sway the opinion of the masses voting in this poll would be a montage of Lafleur's greatest plays.

Do I need to take the time now to write a meta desc for 100s of pages or can I just remove the meta desc?
Unique meta descriptions used to be very important for getting more pages in the main index - but that was before Caffeine was deployed. I haven't tested it since then - but my sense of it is things have shifted.
I do think it would be better not to have any meta descriptions at all than to serve a whole lot of duplicates. But especially at the scale you are describing, you're probably much better off the actually write unique descriptions. It's not that big a job, just big enough to be a bit of a PITA.
Worked well enough that these days I don't bother with meta statements on new sites.
Google says they do not use meta descriptions to factor in rankings. Either way, this is what people see in google that makes them either click or not click your site. This is your sales pitch to entice potential visitors, so make it count, a great meta description can go a very long way.

I think there is reason to feel google does use meta descriptions, so we should too.
Its just ... a LOT of work to go back and do all that.
If it costs $1.00 of effort and I only make back $0.50, what's the point?
Sites are all reasonably shallow linked (not too many clicks to each page)...

Cutters Drop Second Straight
Pierce Has Four Hit Night
By Ian Catherine / Williamsport Crosscutters | August 21, 2013 6:08 PM ET
WILLIAMSPORT - For the second straight night, the Spikes show their offensive muscle as they defeat the Cutters 9-3.
Despite getting the first two batters of the inning out, Mitch Gueller's defense let him down in the bottom of the 1st inning. Brett Wiley, who reached on an Error by Zach Green, scored on a Ronald Castillo single to make it 1-0 Spikes. David Washington would later score on an error by Malquin Canelo to make it 2-0. Gueller would get out of the inning.
State College added on to their lead in the 4th inning. David Washington plated the first two runs of the inning when he doubled to right to plate Cesar Velera and Brett Wiley to make it 4-0. It was RBI 41 and 42 for Washington. Washington would score on an RBI single by Carson Kelly to make it 5-0. Ronald Castillo would score on a Corey Bass pass ball to make it 6-0. Jimmy Bosco capped the scoring with an RBI single to plate Carson Kelly and make it 7-0.
Williamsport would get on the board in the 5th inning when Andrew Pullin singled home Logan Pierce and Gustavo Martinez to make it a 7-2 deficit. For Pullin, it was RBI number 18 and 19 on the season.
State College would get a run back in the bottom of the 5th inning. David Washington singled to center to drive home Brett Wiley and make it 8-2 Spikes. Washington increased his New York-Penn League RBI lead to 43 on the play.
Steven Ramos capped the scoring for the Spikes with a sacrifice fly to left field to plate Mason Katz and make it 9-2.
Andrew Pullin would cap the scoring for the Cutters with a RBI ground out in the 6th inning to plate Malquin Canelo from 3rd base and make it 9-3.
Arturo Reyes would get his 1st win of the season after going six innings of eight-hit, two-run baseball. Reyes walked two and struck out one before handing it off to Micheal Aldrete. Aldrete went two innings of two-hit, one-run baseball to get his 3rd hold of the season. Jacob Booden threw a scoreless ninth to finish the game.
Mitch Gueller falls to 3-7 on the season after allowing six runs on 10 hits in 3.1 innings pitched. Gueller handed the baseball off to Manny Martinez in the 4th inning. Martinez would go 1.2 innings allowing two runs on four hits. Mark Meadors would replace Martinez in the sixth inning. Meadors allowed one run on one hit in two innings of work.

The Blues have created a stir by recalling a spinner after a 10-year absence, but Adrian Tucker never gave up hope the day would come, writes Trevor Marshallsea.
Sixteen years ago last Saturday, on a hot and dusty cricket field in Mildura, a teenaged leg spinner caught the eye by taking 4-42 to help his side to a comfortable win. The competition was the inaugural under-19 World Cup, the winners that day were Australia, and the opponents a West Indian XI captained by an impish left-hander named Brian Lara.
Australia next beat an England team featuring Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain in the semi-finals, then conquered Pakistan in the final. Yet while our leg spinner went wicketless in those two matches, many predicted he would have chances to shine on bigger stages. Few would have forecast, however, that he would have one such opportunity in March of 2004 - more than a decade after his previous one.
When Adrian Tucker enters the SCG for NSW's Pura Cup match against Queensland on Thursday, he will have made history without bowling a ball. Now 34, Tucker has been summoned to replace Test leggie Stuart MacGill 10 years and 52 days after last playing for the Blues, which equates to a gap of 103 games. This is believed to be the longest interval in the career of an Australian first-class player, though records for such things are sketchy.
"I'll claim it as a record anyway," Tucker said last night, with a zeal showing he is keen to savour whatever he can from this unexpected renaissance in a career which - so far - reads 14 games (between February 1990 and January 1994) for 36 wickets at 40 runs apiece.
If he can help beat Queensland, Tucker could play in the final against Victoria, if Tasmania don't make it instead. Such a progression might remind Tucker of the start to his NSW career, when after only two Sheffield Shield games he helped the Blues beat Queensland in the final. Memories from that youth World Cup might also be vivid, since no fewer than three 1988 teammates will be pulling against him - Queenslander Stuart Law, Victorian captain Darren Berry and Tasmanian coach Brian McFadyen.
It has been an unconventional journey for Tucker, as his career as an equities trader - and a feeling of saturation with cricket by his mid-20s - have clashed with his sporting ambitions. His career with NSW was interrupted for two years by a working sojourn in London and a subsequent lazy summer in Sydney, revived for four matches in 1993-94, then written off early this decade when Tucker the grade player moved to Hong Kong for two years. Written off by everyone except Tucker, that is.
"I hadn't given up, because at NSW we haven't been deep in spin bowling behind Stuey, so you think in the back of your mind that if you bowl well you might be a chance," he said.
"When I went to Hong Kong, it would've been easy to say, 'that's it, I'm retired'. But I never did that because I felt - as I still do - that I've got a lot of cricket left in me.
"I think I could've played more for NSW the first time around, if I had have chosen to devote the amount of time necessary to be able to play at that level, but I made the other choice."
After a solid club summer since returning from Hong Kong, Tucker's world has been turned around.
"The phone's been ringing far too much for my liking - there's been people waking me up from my afternoon nap," he laughed. "Steve Waugh rang this morning to say congratulations. It's great to get a call from the outgoing Australian captain."
The Blues skipper seems just as chuffed by Tucker's tale. "It's great to see that sort of story can still happen in cricket," Waugh said. "The guy's been out for 10 years . . . and now he's got an opportunity to go back to cricket. He's ready to go."
All this could lead a leggie to daydream, perhaps thinking of an earlier NSW leg spinner, Bob Holland, who made his Test debut at 38.
Tucker, however, is not allowing himself those dreams.
"I'd give you 1500-1 about me ever playing a Test," said Tucker, who knows a few things about investments. "I'm not even thinking about NSW for next season.
"The goal is just to win this game against Queensland. That would cap a remarkable couple of weeks."

Does Your Curriculum Serve International Students?
Recruiting and Admitting International Students: Key Considerations
The Transition In: Setting International Students Up for Academic Success
The Transition Out: Moving International Students into the Donor Pipeline
A Letter from Amit Mrig, President, Academic Impressions
According to the Open Doors report on international education, international student enrollment has increased every year for the past 60 years. With this trend expected to continue, and international students becoming an increasingly important constituent group, it's critical for institutions to take a more holistic view at how they're meeting these students' needs now and in the future.
Beyond recruitment efforts, institutions need to think broadly about integration into the campus community and the academic curriculum to ensure international students persist and succeed. They also need to plant seeds for future support and giving as these students graduate and potentially return to their home countries.
A holistic strategy for approaching the international student market can serve both the students and your institution well. We've asked experts in the field to share advice and insights into recruitment, transition, campus life, the academic curriculum, and moving international students into the donor pipeline. We hope their advice will be useful to you.

Jun 28, 2012 - Nicole is extremely condescending, rude and and doesn't even listen to the client and their wishes. Her hair cuts are blah with no spark or style. I even went back 2 more time to give her a second chance!! Considering how expensive it is, the cut it was a waste of money. On top of that I took my young daughter to get her hair cut and turns out she hates KIDS!!! Also gave me one of the worst hair color treatments I'd ever had. Brassy and too much red. I will never go back! They did me a favor because now I've found this wonderful website!

Japan, Interrupted
For the four Middlebury students enrolled in the School in Japan, there's no going back to the way it was.
The lives they've led since last September – immersed in the culture with roommates from Japan, speaking the language and going to class every day – changed forever at 2:46 p.m. (Tokyo time) on Friday, March 11.
That's when an earthquake registering 9.0 on the Richter scale struck the northeastern coast of Japan with such a fury that it set off a 30-foot tsunami, displaced hundreds of thousands of people, killed thousands more, and plunged the island nation into a nuclear crisis.
"The ground didn't shake. It swayed," said Meghan Mendoza '12, who was with a friend in a Tokyo café when the quake hit. "My friend panicked and told me to get away from the windows so we ran outside in the middle of the street. For two to three minutes, the cement felt like water under my feet, almost like waves."
Mendoza and fellow juniors Jerry Romero and Elliott Yoo were in Tokyo on March 11 enjoying the five-week break between the second and third trimesters of their year abroad. Their fourth comrade in the program, Lia Tsai Schnackenberg '12, had just gone home for spring break a few days earlier.
"I was in bed in Manhattan when the earthquake hit," she recalled a week later. "I woke up to e-mails and posts on Facebook from my friends who were concerned about my safety. I had no idea what they were referring to until I opened the homepage of the New York Times. It was a shock."
Using Facebook and Skype, Schnackenberg was able to determine that all of her friends, her tomódachi, back in Japan were safe in the immediate aftermath of the quake. "But I continue to fear for everyone else there, because of the nuclear crisis and radiation threat."
The day after the quake, Elliott Yoo flew from Tokyo to Australia on vacation. "By leaving the next day I managed to escape the panic and huge lines at the airport after the announcement of radiation. I am hoping that the [study-abroad] program will continue."
Unfortunately for Yoo and his three classmates, the School in Japan has been suspended for the spring of 2011. On March 16, the College advised the two remaining students, Mendoza and Romero, to leave Japan. Then on March 29, the College informed the quartet that it could not offer the program as scheduled from mid-April through June because of the risks associated with the Fukushima nuclear reactor.
The 2010-2011 academic year at the School in Japan was destined to be an historic one. It was the inaugural year for Middlebury's newest operational school abroad. The College had aligned with a host institution in Tokyo, the International Christian University, and Sanae Eda, a veteran professor from Middlebury's Japanese School, was retained as director. Plus, four excellent students were committed to studying for the year.
Now they are in limbo, weighing their options for the future having earned only two-thirds of the academic credit they were expecting. The College is advising them to attend the Japanese School this summer, but all four wish they could go back to ICU instead of to Oakland, Calif., for Middlebury's eight-week immersion experience.
"I would like to finish the journey," said Jerry Romero.
"After about 30 seconds of subtle shaking, the tremors in Tokyo made it hard to walk," he recalled. "And since I'm from San Antonio, Texas, I did not know the protocol. So I waited by the emergency exit in the dorm in case we had to evacuate. The doors and cabinets shook violently, and the earthquake was strong enough to break open the windows."
For Romero the events in Japan "were nothing short of horrendous," but the kindness of the Japanese people helping each other, even when they didn't have food or shelter, was a "reminder of the beauty in humanity."
In all likelihood, the four students will return to Middlebury next September feeling unfulfilled. Memories will linger about how they had to leave their friends and teachers behind, many without saying goodbye. There are people they'll never see again and things they'll never get to do.
For more than six months, the city of Tokyo was their oyster. With their language skills and immersion into the culture, the Middlebury students were almost no different than any other Japanese college student. Then, in an instant, it all changed. They were the Americans again, on their way home.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That seems to be the philosophy of director Todd Phillips, whose sequel to the box office comedy smash The Hangover doesn't so much try to replicate the magic of the first film as it does try to replicate everything about the first film. The setting has changed from the neon strip of Las Vegas to the filthy streets of Bangkok, but the premise nonetheless remains ridiculously similar: Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) wake up in a state of dishevelment with no memory of the night before, and are once again forced to piece together the increasingly crazy pieces of their drunkenness and debauchery in order to find a missing friend. Unfortunately but not unexpectedly, be it the because the characters are less likeable, the jokes not as well written, or simply because the very idea of a The Hangover Part II is just so implausible, this darker, dirtier, nastier follow up, although still generally funny, does not hold a candle to its predecessor.
In this day and age it must come as little surprise that The Hangover, a massive success with audiences, critics and studio accountants alike, has been the recipient of the sequel treatment. Likewise, few will be shocked to hear that the film is in many ways an uncreative retread of the first movie, one that tries to give the audiences the same stuff they enjoyed the last time out. This time it's the mild mannered Stu who's tying the knot, a plot necessity that takes the form of a beautiful Asian American woman (Jamie Chung) whose father despises Stu and insists on holding the wedding in his native Thailand. A few drinks on a resort beach later and you know the drill: Phil, Alan and Stu wake up in the middle of Bangkok, with only a flamboyant Chinese gangster, a denim wearing monkey and the severed index finger of Teddy, Stu's sixteen year old soon-to-be-brother-in-law, as clues to what the hell they got up to the night before.
