might be a strange question. is there a way to tighten the steering on a vehicle? my subframe is a 79 buick le sabre and the steering is a little loose. not terrible but it would be more enjoyable if it were a little tighter ( wouldnt everything be). the front end was rebuilt not too many miles ago so it isnt a suspension issue.
run your palm across the tire treads.. are the tires smooth.. not stepped.. if they are stepped.. it can be a toe in adjustment is out .. with a friend wobbling the steering wheel back and forth to the limit of the freeplay.. usually engine off to begin with... examine the various components..starting with the shaft between the bottom of the column and the steering box.. sometimes the rag joint tears.. i have also had the rivets loosen up.. so the shaft is slipping just a few degrees at the coupling joint and not transferring the motion completely...next .. you will want to examine the pinch bolt on the coupling.. that its not loose and allowing the splines to shift slightly...while examining this.. while the steering is being rocked.. make sure that the input shaft where the coupling is bolted up is NOT moving slightly in and out.. it should ONLY be rotating.. from under the truck.. look at the pitman shaft coming out of the steering box.. it should NOT rock back and forth inside the housing extension.. this is a wear point.. if the shaft moves back and forth inside the housing. the box may need to be rebuilt at a rebuilder.. where they bore and install a new bushing or bearing.. next.. look at the end of the pitman arm.. see if the back and forth movement is INSTANT.. that when the pitman arm moves.. the center drag link responds...do the same with the other components.. and check the idler arm for excessive play.. if the end of the arm moves up and down.. your steering will be loose...with a chunk of 2x4 on the saddle of your floor jack.. lift the lower control arm out as far as you can without touching the tire.. lift the tire just slightly off the ground.. use a big prybar to lever the bottom of the tire in and out while you have your hand on the lower ball joint and the bottom of the spindle.. do you get any vertical movement.. NO is GOOD.. do you get any horizontal movement??? no is good.. you have said the front suspension was rebuild not long ago...were the control arm bushings installed?? they have to be tightened only at ride height or they will tear out and have very short lives.. last thing is to look at the wheel alignment specs.. how much depends on your actual tire sizing.. if you have massive wide tires.. this you really need to discuss with a wheel alignment specialist.. or a frame repair man.. i am not talking about the average wheel alignment guy at the local tire dealer.. i am talking a specialist shop that ONLY does wheel alignments.. if you live in or near a larger city.. you might also be able to find a frame specialty shop.. this is NOT usually a body shop.. they are specialist shops who do two things.. unbend frames and wheel alignments to make the cars drive perfect after somebody have wrinkled them slightly.. when i set my 60s cars up.. i did my own wheel alignments.. but i have a set of turn table slip plates.. and real caster camber gauges.. when i worked in a tire center in the early 80s.. left camber was 1/2 degree positiveright was 1/4 degree positive..the camber is the leaning IN or out at the top of the tires.. slightly more lean out on the left top counteracts the crown of the road.. so it does not drift to the right when you turn loose of the wheel..caster was 1 1/2 negative.. i have run as much as 2 1/2 negative on my GTO.. caster negative is the upper ball joint centerline behind the lower ball joint.. so the tires lean into the corner.. similar to a motorcycle front tire.. caster is really important .. ever see a kid riding one of those folding aluminum skooters.. if he has the axle of the front wheel like a shopping car . behind the center of the pivot.. it will have a really hard time riding it.. it will want to jump out from under him sideways.. .. but all he has to do is rotate the steering 180 degrees with the axle in front of the centerline of the pivot.. and it will go straight without any problem.. with negative caster.. the wheels are held in center by the weight of the car.. ever so slightly.. ever seen a Mercedes benz with its wheel turned really hard.. most of those have 9 or 10 degrees of negative caster.. but thats designed in.. hard to change the alignment enough to get anywhere near that in a domestic chassis.. and you usually don't need that much.. i hope that i have steered you in the right direction.. one thing.. you might want to try 2 or 3 different caster settings.. if you are NOT happy with the first one.. be sure to use the same alignment tech.. and if he is using a computerized alignment machine.. ask for the print out.. again.. different tire , weight and wheel base combos throw changes into the wheel alignment setting needs..
OH... if you get free play INSIDE the steering box.. this requires a bunch of knowledge of how to properly adjust it.. get it wrong and you can really damage the box.. wheel alignment and frame guys are really good at these adjustments.. if you need to adjust it.. post and keep kicking this up if i don't answer in a day or 2..
i took it to a mechanic to have the front end looked at. the mechanic said the suspension was in good shape. he made the adjustment on the power steering pump itself. he warned me that the steering might be a little tight at first but will loosen up once i drive it a bit. well i dont like it. the steering is still loose but now its loose and jerky. the truck seems to float and when you adjust it the adjustments are really jerky and its annoying. its not un-drivable but it requires constant adjustment so driving it is a lot more work than you would expect. now that the truck runs so well its disappointing that the steering is the restrictive link. im looking to find a really good shop here in albuquerque that specializes in steering and suspension to take a look at it and get the rattle on track.
on a side note the truck is running top notch. the fuel injection is dialed in pretty well and i have been using the truck as a daily driver for a few months now. it starts well... even in this stupid cold morning weather and besides the loose steering is awesome to drive around in. i love my truck.
you have several choices...and i think the mechanic made your steering box adjustment too TIGHT... its a hard thing to describe... i will come back tonight and see if i can... find in your area...either a frame repair specialty shop....a specialty wheel alignment shopthose are the best choices...wheel alignment is a specialty... a few mechanics have it down... way too many don't..
print the instructions i first posted.. get a friend and follow them...i went back and edited them...made the ones that are a MUST in bold...with a helper.. those take me less than 5 minutes ..
ended up taking the truck in to a suspension shop and they said my steering box is pretty much dead. they adjusted it to its max settings (not sure what that means but thats what they said) and the steering is much much better. the next step is going to be replacing the steering box. the issue im facing now is this. the steering is pretty good. not great but good. my front end is a 1979 model so even if its perfect what i have is a brand new 1979 suspension and steering system. i may start looking for a replacement rack and pinion system that i can bolt into place. i would like something that will bring the steering up into the 90's.
nah... don't throw a rack and pinion at it...read the steering box upgrade article over at car craft...http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/ccrp_0901_gm_steering_box_upgrade/viewall.htmlthis will help a LOT...
i read the article and im going to talk to the suspension shop to see if putting a better style of steering box will help. the adjustments they did are good but you know when its right and it just isnt yet. i love my truck and i love driving it. im not going to let something like this stop me.
the new steering box is in. i had the option of using a direct replacement or a sportier unit that has a shorter turn radius. i went sportier. i havent gotten a chance to drive it yet but the shop called me after the test drive and said its correct now. no drifting and no play in the wheel. im pretty excited.
been driving it for a few days now. its great! i was afraid the new box wouldnt fix the problem but it sure did.its straight as an arrow. im very happy with it. spent the day installing my fender bracing. im chasing rattles and squeaks now. oh and i installed a new rear view mirror.

Camping, the 89-year-old founder of religious broadcasting network Family Radio, says the Bible "guarantees" the world will end on May 21, 2011, beginning with a series of massive earthquakes at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Uh, in case you didn't know, that's this Saturday!
So what are we supposed to do with this information?
It's not clear. While some worrywarts may be turning to last-minute rituals, we prefer to use this news as an opportunity to get prepared. And no, we're not preparing for imminent death due to an infestation of zombies or the end of the world. We're just following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's lead and getting ready in case disaster strikes (science fiction or otherwise). Here's how:
- Pack an emergency preparedness kit. This includes things like water, food, first aid supplies, copies of important documents and other essentials. Want more specifics? Check out CDC's list.
- Make a plan. Sit down with the fam and decide where you would go if a catastrophic, world-ending event hit. This may also come in handy if there's a not-so-catastrophic flood, earthquake or other emergency. It's a good idea to have two meeting spots — one close to your home and a second a little farther away (in case Gremlins have taken over your humble abode).
- Create a contact list. Make a list of local contacts like the police, fire department and your local exorcists (kidding!). Also identify an out-of-state contact that you can call during an emergency to let the rest of your family know you are OK — or that you're possessed!
- Jump ship. If you need to get out of Dodge, it's helpful if you know where to go. Plot out routes ahead of time so you can hit the road fast. This is also helpful when natural disasters strike and you have to take shelter fast.
Fortunately, Camping's track record of apocalypse predictions is somewhat spotty. He was sure the world would end in September 1994. Clearly, it didn't. So maybe Sunday, May 22, will find him nose deep in his Bible recalculating the "real" Doomsday. Either way, we'll be prepared.

It will depend largely on market conditions, the level of interest, the letting terms and the quality of the property.
This is a matter of negotiation and will vary depending on the type of property and length of lease. Ultimately if the tenant is required to insure, repair and maintain the property and this obligation is particularly onerous, this will probably be reflected in the rental value of the property.
Individually brilliant.
Together, miles better.


text: Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (together with its affiliates, "KKR"), Beecken Petty O'Keefe & Company ("BPOC") and Coastwood Senior Housing Partners LLC today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire the management company business of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. ("Sunrise"), a leading provider of senior living services and housing, for approximately $130 million. Health Care REIT ("HCN") will also invest approximately $26 million for a 20% interest in the business. The acquisition is expected to close immediately prior to HCN's previously announced acquisition of Sunrise discussed below. "This partnership with KKR, BPOC and Coastwood is a major step forward for our transaction with Health Care REIT," said Mark Ordan, Sunrise's chief executive officer. "All of us at Sunrise are excited by the opportunity to move forward with this next chapter in our story, and to continue Sunrise's proud traditions of care and service to our residents." On August 21, Sunrise entered into a binding agreement with HCN pursuant to which HCN committed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Sunrise for $14.50 per share. HCN will proceed with the acquisition of Sunrise's real estate. The management company being acquired will include Sunrise's existing management contracts covering 282 communities, including those communities to be acquired by HCN; leasehold interests in 15 communities; and 12 development parcels. In addition, as of the closing, a subsidiary of the management company will employ all employees of Sunrise and operate under the "Sunrise" name and brand. "Sunrise has a culture and team that is committed to the highest standards of living and quality of care for its residents, and we are investing in that culture and that vision. With its excellent leadership and dedicated employees, Sunrise is a great company that has forged valuable partnerships with the industries' most respected property owners. We are excited to be a part of its future as it expands its relationship with Healthcare REIT and its other real estate partners in the health care space," Ralph Rosenberg, Global Head of Real Estate at KKR, stated.

OK, so I am finishing building my 55 truck and can't find any information regarding the turn signals or wiring into the lights. I have the original diagram, but no turn signals, only a lead from the ignition switch. My question is, do I just wire a standard flasher then connect to brake light leads after the turn signal switch? Will this override the brakelights when on or vice versa? Do I have to get a override relay pack or something? What was stock, because thats all I want to do, nothing crazy, this truck has cost enough already. Any help out there?
Man its been so long since I did a custom wiring job I couldn't tell you. But I do have a '56 Chevy panel in storage that I custom wired years ago. This will be a good excuse for me to go see if the rats have gotten into it, or not.Hey, I'll bet after this you're wishing that you had picked up a Painless or American Autowire harness now, huh?Give me a day or two and I'll figure it out — In the meantime use your hand signals, you remember the one-finger salute right?
Thanks, John. Any help would be great. I guess a painless kit would have been...well, painless. But isn't that why we do these things? I am either the ultimate do-it-yourselfer or ultimately doing-myself-in. The last car I built from scratch was a 68 baja bug about 15 years ago and I had the same problem I am dealing with now. I received some advice to follow the signal stat wiring diagram, but those don't have the same amount of wires. It's just crazy to me that it was a stock option and i can't find a wiring diagram for it. Oh well. Wish me luck. Thanks
Pauley,Its going to be a couple of days before I can get to my '56. We are expecting rain in So Cal, and I don't want to unwrap it because I know those cheap Chinese blue tarps are going to disintegrate when I pull 'em.This isn't rocket science, I'd forget about the brake light circut(as in don't worry about). Run a fused hot lead to the T-sig flasher, and then run two wires up from the flasher to the turn-signal switch and then run the feeds to the left and right turn signals. What's the worst thats gonna happen, an electrical fire?

Left blade circular saws
Who makes a quality left blade circular saw? I know Bosch and Milwaukee each make one. I think porter cable does too. Other than that, I dont really know of anything.
Anyone have any recommendations? Why dont more companies offer saws with blades on the left side of the motor?
Because most people who want a Left blade style go with a Wormdrive i would think. Milwaukee makes a great one (left blade circular) in my opinion. As for worm drives, I like the one bosch has to be honest.
Since about 99% of ciruler saws are right hand why would any company invest the money to do that?
Not only would they have to lable everyone of the differant blades they make but then who's going to buy them? No distributor or sales outlet is going to give them the shelve space for an item with that low a turn over rate.
I'm not sure how anyone would think I was talking about just the blades...:huh:
The title of the thread is left blade circular saw. Anyone have input on those? Or know of any besides the Milwaukee or bosch?
Your right, my mistake. I think it's the last line in your post that started that line of thought. Once you go back and read your post agin it makes more since.
Most workers are rear handle!
Makita makes an 18V cordless left blader, the BSS610Z.
all of the cordless saws are left handed.
I have the PC lefty
I also find it odd that most saws have the blade on the right. If you are right handed, it would make more sense if the blade was on the left where you can see it better while cutting. When I was in the market for one I could not find any so I settled for one with the blade on the right. You can still kinda peak at it, but it requires getting your face a little closer. Wear those safety goggles. It also depends if you are cutting away from yourself, or sideways. If you are cutting sideways then it's not so much an issue. Depends what you are cutting and how you're placed.
Oddly,. the cordless ones seem to have the blade to the left, not sure why only the cordless ones though. My guess is the AC motors probably all come from the same manufacturer and they are designed to spin a certain way.

Family Receives New Home, Fresh Start
At the beginning of the year, a Gainesville family lost everything they had after a fire destroyed their mobile home.
And now a couple of weeks later, Gainesville resident Ray Latson gets to open the one door that matters the most. . .the door to his new home.
"So, many people came out and helped us, we were just totally overwhelmed and wanna offer thanks to everyone that helped us out," Latson said.
Earlier this month, a fire destroyed his mobile home in the Candlelight mobile park off of NE 12th Ave. in Gainesville.
Latson and his girlfriend were briefly put up in a hotel, but were unsure about their future.
"We didn't know where we was gonna go, what we were gonna do and it was just to much for us," Latson said. "Thankfully by the grace of God, everything has come together."
Latson's mother, Darlene Burkett said she kept faith things would turn around for her son.
"We're thankful that so many organizations out there to help you," Burkett said. "And there is help out there through the grace of God, gotta have faith when one door close, another door open for you."
Latson was set up with an apartment at Holly Heights in southwest Gainesville through the housing authority. Many other organizations donated stuff to the family as well.
"I can rest easily now," Burkett said. "My son got a roof over his head. Everything is going ok"

Peaceful coexistence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peaceful coexistence was a theory developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War that said that capitalist states could 'accept' each other. The idea of peaceful coexistence came from before the Communist leader Stalin's death, as Georgy Malenkov called for it in 1952 but it was more clear after Stalin's death in 1953 where destalinization (removing the personality and politics of Stalin) began. [1] [2]

For a pre-Fall collection, this offering from Jason Wu has a certain drama. It's manifest in the perfectly stitched slim-cut pants which have front seams or knee panels that could be jodphur-like in their detailing, and yet don't give off a jodhpur vibe. It's manifest in leather collars and bunched-down leather gloves, a woman both feminine and darkly dangerous. And in the silhouettes of immaculately tailored pencil skirts and sheath dresses? There's some drama there, too.
Wu's pre-Fall 2012 collection draws reference from the '50s, the '60s and the here-and-now. The upcoming colour trends for fall 2012 make an appearance from emerald teal greens to pompeian red to deep Atlantic blue.
Switching effortlessly between cooly masculine and primly feminine, Jason Wu's pre-Fall 2012 collection brings the kind of modern, understated femme fatale drama that's best worn with an ice-cool attitude.

Over my head w/ carbs and
With my 455 broke in and running, it has a problem. It doesn't get enough gas when you really want to punch it (passing gear and being funny, not drags) I currently have a 650 Edelbrock (vac. seconds) on the same name manifold. My options are:
Salad bowl carb-750 or more
2-4 set up, using two 650's
T-Ram with same carbs.
Have mild cam, 10:1 comp, "Z" type cast iron exhaust, and turbo 400.
If any of you real motor mechanics(not a bolt on specialist like me) have opinions, I'd like to know them. Like I saw in another post, eye candy is a partial consideration, but not being a real mechanic, what will give me the least problems or the easiest to go to?
It has been my experience that the best bet for all around power is a single four barrell. Tunnel Rams look good but are usually a dissapointment in the power output down low that you need on the street. Your 455, I would think could use at least a 750 or greater. If your ride is for show by I would put whatever looks the best, but for power you can't beat a single four. Is that your truck in the picture, if it is your my kind of guy for putting a 455 in it. Is it a Buick, Olds, or Pontiac?
from what i have read on sbc's at least the single 4 is the way to go for the most torque and streetable HP. i would getta 750. holley makes one that has mechanically assisted secondaries that made my chevelle haul *** . forget the model number, their alittle spendier than the straight vacs. puts you into the Demon range. that street tunnel ram/carb combo from summit (in the HRM dyno shoot out)came very very close to the balls out single demon 4bbl tho, and was in the same cost ball park. i don't have the issue but like i said in another post it was a couple of months back on the cover "carb shoot-out" i think was the story. could find at www.hotrod.com
I would definately think you could do better with a bigger 4-barrel with that many cubes. I'm runing a Holley 670cfm Street Avenger on my little 302 small block. The street avenger (unless you're hooked on Edelbrock) is nice cause you can quick change the spring to change how early the secondaries open up. The other option already mentioned, the old double pumper, no question there you know them puppies are working.
You didn't mention which style Edelbrock manifold you're currently using.
[ August 15, 2002: Message edited by: dmorris1200 ]

OOps, 455 Olds and Edel Performer. So, 750 is enuf?
I would think around 750cfm would be pretty good. Just my 2cents.
I'm currently building a 455 Pontiac and will be using a vacuum secondary Holley 750. The 750 should be plenty for your application. Probably wouldn't hurt to try an 800cfm Qjet design. You could probably get an 800cfm Edelbrock and be very happy with the added air and fuel.
In addition my Holley 750 flows closer to 800cfm. I amde sure to break it in on a Chevy 350 and it was definitely too much carb for it.
The 650 really should be enough carb for your engine. At least all the calculators say it is more than enough. Sounds like you coud use a little tuning! Have you tried different secondary springs? One cause of dead response on a punched throttle is the secondaries opening too fast. A poor boy way to check this is block the secondary mechanism closed (won't hurt it). If you car then accelerates better on the bottom end, you need a heavier spring to retard secondaries. If the stall is just at the instant you hit the trottle, then the engine kicks in, you may have an accelerator pump problem. Make sure the accelerator pump cam is tight against the pump arm at all times so ANY movement of the throttle squirts some gas.
Point is, since you say you only want street performance, a bigger carb will cost $$$$ and likely won't solve your problem.

so i have a little creaking noise(not that bad) at slow speed, usually when turning into my driveway. a friend of mine who is a Subaru tech says the rear sway bar bushings and/or end links are probably worn out(which makes sense, my car is a 2002 with 104,000 miles on it).
so anyway i figured i mind as well upgrade my rear sway bar and end links anyway. so i was wondering should i go with a 22, 24 or 25 mm rear sway and what type of end links should i get?

Breaking new ground in food regime theory: corporate environmentalism, ecological feedbacks and the 'food from somewhere' regime?

Early food regimes literature tended to concentrate on the global scale analysis of implicitly negative trends in global food relations. In recent years, early food regimes authors like Harriet Friedmann and Philip McMichael have begun to consider the sites of resistance, difference and opportunity that have been emerging around, and into contestation with, new food regime relations. This paper examines the emerging global-scale governance mechanism of environmental food auditing—particularly those being promoted by supermarkets and other large food retailers—as an important new dynamic in our understanding of the politics and potentials of food regimes. Commencing with an examination of Friedmann's corporate environmental food regime, two key dynamics are identified as being pivotal in the rise and decline of global-scale regimes: securing social legitimacy for food relations and the importance of ecological dynamics in global food relations. By extending McMichael's notion of 'Food from Nowhere' versus 'Food from Somewhere', the paper interrogates the emergence of a cluster of relations that comprise 'Food from Somewhere' and examines whether this cluster of relations has the potential to change some of the constituent ecological dynamics of food regimes. These ecological dynamics have historically been problematic, amply demonstrating Marx's metabolic rift as the early food regimes solidified relationships between 'ecologies at a distance'. By using socio-ecological resilience theory, 'Food from Somewhere' is characterized as having denser ecological feedbacks and a more complex information flow in comparison to the invisibility and distanciation characterizing earlier regimes as well as contemporary 'Food from Nowhere'. The conclusion of this article is that while 'Food from Somewhere' does provide one site of opportunity for changing some key food relations and ecologies, the social legitimacy of this new form of food relations does rely on the ongoing existence of the opposite, more regressive, pole of world food relations. The key question for resolving this tension appears to be whether new food relations can open up spaces for future, more ecologically connected, global-scale food relations.

T HE people of the Yorkshire Dales have recently taken a decision to prevent the rest of us moving into a new house in their part of the world.
But then they are from Yorkshire.
They like to refer to it as "God's county". What a shame! He spent so much on the set and then found out he had nothing left to spend on the cast.
All new houses and barn conversions in the National Park are to be made available for sale at "affordable prices" to local people. And no one else.
No, not you. Not your family. Nobody else. Especially not a Mancunian such as myself.
These homes are for plain-talking, straightforward, a spade-is-a-spade Yorkshire types.
Or, as the rest of the country regards them, buffoons with no manners whatsoever.
This is all about regionalism, racism's snotty little brother.
"At the moment, most house building in the Yorkshire Dales National Park is open market," Peter Watson, the head of planning for the park authority, has declared. That means "anyone can buy them".
Hold the front page. "Free democratic society in you can live wherever you want" shocker.
Hang on, there is a (cough) "brain drain" of young Yorkshire Dales folk to the surrounding towns and cities - you know who I mean, you see them standing on street corners, pointing at planes.
As the late, great Les Dawson once observed, "Yorkshire is like Lancashire but without the O-levels."
While we're at it, let's disregard the idea that the locals are even remotely aware that, without this influx of cash from outsiders, they would be reduced to selling their organs on the net.
That's the lung and kidney variety - not the wood-effect versions made by Hammond.
One irate local said on BBC radio this week, "We need them to... to... well, who's going to look after me in my old age".
That is Yorkshire in one sentence. A self-centred appeal to itself. Relax grandad, the rest of the country will provide for you. As usual...
Just follow these three rules:
1 DON'T keep banging on about the place. It only makes people want to go there.
2 STOP trying to pretend you are all good, straight-talking folk. The rest of the country regards you as backward, socially-awkward remnants from a 19th-century prison.
3 PROMOTE the county as "Britain's Texas". Because that's just what it is. A large expanse of land populated by rednecks.
As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that could be worse is having to live in London with a bunch of Southerners.

It was the summer I thought I was pregnant. The summer we moved to the city.
Some people hoe their hair into crop lines and say, "Why would you bring a child into this world?" I was not then, and I am not now, one of those people. We had moved to the city, to a high pile of brick that blocked the sunshine. I was afraid to go outside. "Come on," my fiancé said. "Is it the doorman?" he said, "Are you really afraid of the doorman?"
The doorman's name was Rudolf. He was as thin as I'd been once, at sixteen, twelve maybe. He smiled at me like he'd read my mail.
"I'm not afraid of Rudolf," I said to my fiancé. "I'm afraid I'm pregnant."
My fiancé hoed his hair. I hate that word, fiancé. "It just wouldn't be a good time," he said. "Do you know what I mean?"
I'm not sure why I worried; I never got mail that summer, anyway.
It was the summer I was afraid to leave the bedroom. I was afraid of the singing toilet, of the other windows trapped inside our windows, of the flies that came in through the grate. I was afraid of the soft hallway, the umbrellas that leaned against the doors, leaned and pushed and leaned some more as if they just wanted to get inside and stay.
I was afraid of everything but the elevator. The doors were gold on the outside. Inside there were mirrors I didn't mind. We fell from floor to floor to floor. I leaned into my fiancé. I just wanted to get inside. Doesn't everyone?
The doors opened and we walked past Rudolf and into the city. Men lay on the sidewalks, treated doorways like seashells. They curled.
On 17th Street we bought bagels. My fiancé took the paper bag, handed me the change. For blocks I rolled the quarters around my palm, deliberating. There was a boy in a wheelchair on 14th, his hair like a duck's feathers, a duck stuck in an oilslick. His sign said he'd been to war, seen things. But there was a man across the street, too. He didn't have a sign, was too polite to ask. He was sitting on the sidewalk, wearing shoes made of the news. They looked like paper boats built by children.
I watched my fiancé. We were crossing 10th, then 9th. I kept expecting him to say that thing people say, "Why would you bring a child," but he didn't. Instead he said the same thing again, about time.
This is what he meant. We were too young to love it, too young to want to give it all our money. But we were finally too old to get rid of it.
"Are you sure?" he said then.
"Not really."
I didn't like his face so I kept talking.
"Look at my breasts," I said. "Feel my breasts."
First it was my breasts. Then I tasted metal—a symptom, I'd heard. The bagels were pennies, dimes.
We went away for the weekend, to my fiancé's parents' house. We needed to distract ourselves—we were so worried! How could we bring a child into this bad world at this bad time, when we were both too young and too old? But when my almost-mother-in-law made me a turkey sandwich I tasted quarters.
In the end I hadn't given mine to anyone. Not the man with the slick ducky hair. Not the man with the newspaper shoes.
"Do you want another sandwich, Amy?" my almost mother-in-law asked.
"No thanks," I said, knowing it would hurt her. Soon she was offering cherries, plums. I knew they would taste like pocket change. "No," I said. It was a word I could say to her and nobody else. That weekend, I said it as much as I could.
Still she offered crackers, cookies, the plums she'd mentioned already. She was outraged, undeterred. I was impressed. When she went into the kitchen for biscotti I leaned toward my fiancé. "Feel my breasts," I whispered. "They're crazy."
I was never the kind of person who'd say "How can you bring a child into this." I was never the kind of person who'd protest. I was the kind of person who'd had a dollhouse in her eleventh-grade bedroom, who'd gotten splinters, even then, from reaching in and messing with the furniture. I was the kind of person who knew she'd be a mother, and a good one.
In the city, I was a good mother. I made my fiancé lunch, folded his T-shirts, shut his drawers. I smoothed his furrowed hair. I wasn't quite as good as his own mother yet, but I thought I might be, in time.
Sometimes now, in drugstores, I'm nostalgic. I stand in the aisle. I think of that summer when sandwiches tasted like copper, when my fiancé was always twisting his hands and staring, awed, at my breasts.
One morning I got up before he did. "What are you doing?" he said. "Where are you going?"
"Outside," I said. I didn't have to look back. I knew I'd astonished him.
We lived in a pile of brick. There was a movie theater on our block, a dry cleaner, two groceries, a drug store. I bought a pregnancy test, and then I bought another.
Sometimes now I stand in the aisle and imagine leaning into the shelves—leaning, pushing, leaning—knocking boxes every which way.
I bought one test and then another and then another. Soon it wasn't summer. "I think the swelling's gone down," my fiancé said. "Don't you?"
I'd had my period twice, but I took another test. There was something sweet in knowing what I'd see, in hearing that same silent word again, a word that even now I seldom say.

As some here may know, a few years back I did a project with Jeremy Bulloch... I cast his face and offered a limited number here on the TDH. Part of the reason for this was to eventually use one of these casts for my Boba Fett mannequin. Well I've finally got around to making a new mannequin for my costume (new pose), so for this I will be adding Jeremy's face to the mannequin. I obviously need the face to have 'open' eyes (Jeremy's eyes were closed when making the original life cast for obvious reasons).
I was tempted to 'de-age' this cast, but I think I prefer the face as it is today, I may add a scar or two on the final copy though.
I removed the closed eyes from the cast and sculpted 'open' eyes using wet clay. I will now need to make a mould of this then produce a fibreglass copy. Once that's complete, I will replace my mannequin's face with this copy, I will then paint it with fleshtones add realistic glass eyes.

Tangy Thai Mixed Nuts
This tangy, curried nut mix combines toasted pecans with peanuts, cashews, coconut flakes and lemongrass.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 5 cups
- 2 cups pecans
- 2 stalks of fresh lemongrass, root ends trimmed
- 1 large egg white
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Thai green curry paste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
- 1 cup unsalted roasted cashews
- 1 cup thick unsweetened coconut flakes
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°. On a large rimmed baking sheet, spread the pecans in a single layer and bake until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 275°. Transfer the pecans to a large bowl to cool.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment with vegetable oil spray. In a medium bowl, using a Microplane, finely grate the bottom 6 inches of the lemongrass stalks. Add the egg white, lime juice, sugar, soy sauce, curry paste and salt and whisk to combine. Stir in the toasted pecans, peanuts and cashews until coated.
Spread the nuts on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a small amount of the seasoning mixture in the bowl, and roast for 35 minutes, stirring once. In the same bowl, toss the coconut flakes with the residual seasoning mixture. Stir the coconut into the nuts and roast for about 30 minutes longer, stirring once or twice, until the nuts and coconut are toasted. Let cool completely.
Make Ahead
The nuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

However, i worked with cher for everything except the day of and that did not make me happy. her assistant is not nearly as experienced as she should be. she kept asking me things that i PAID her to know & figure out. also, long story, but there werent video tapes in the cameras we rented & instead of delaying the ceremony 20 minutes to go to walmart & get a tape, she was more concerned with starting on time, which resulted in me not having my ceremony taped. she left before my reception was over, didnt even say goodbye, and then i was stuck dealing with an altercation at the reception bc she wasnt there. she didn't help with any clean up. she forgot to light the candles on a couple tables. they LOST my sand ceremony items. at one point she told my friends to do things, that she should have done and in turn ruined something that i spent money on bc no one knew about it. I will say that Cher is great though. She is ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. She really was great to work with, however i felt shafted by her assistant."

"Went well, but i felt kind of rushed with everything. there were a lot of important shots never even taken. for example, our hands with our rings on, individual shots with my BM's. as well as we had to suggest to take groom with Bm's, bride with gm's, etc. the pictures will probably be great, but i feel kind of like some things i wanted will be missing. the 2 assistants were fabulous. got a lot of awesome shots!! i do think that its overpriced though."

Enjoyed the report. Didn't enjoy the profanity.
Vegimite is like a jelly spread made of veggies.
It isn't horrible. but it is an acquired taste. They usually put it on toast. They have wonderful debates on whether you should put it on thick or thin.
Did I mention the seasons are reversed here.

The Australian Sony PlayStation Case and the Implementation of the Australia-US Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA)
Fitzgerald, Brian F. & Suzor, Nicolas P. (2006) The Australian Sony PlayStation Case and the Implementation of the Australia-US Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA). [Working Paper] (Unpublished)
|Accepted Version (PDF 324kB)
In this paper, we consider the definition of 'Technological Protection Measure' and the meaning of 'Effective Technological Measure' (ETM) in Article 17.4.7 of the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA). We consider the effect of the recent High Court decision in Stevens v Kabushiki Kaisha Sony Computer Entertainment [2005] HCA 58 and the emphasis of the court on upholding consumer interests. We also consider the recommendations of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Legal And Constitutional Affairs (LACA) with respect to Art 17.4.7, and the way in which these recommendations can be implemented to protect the legitimate interests of both copyright holders and consumers, while staying within the boundaries of our international obligations. We conclude that the recommendation that liability for circumvention of technological measures should be linked to copyright infringement, and that the LACA recommendation, the text of the AUSFTA, and a recent US Court of Appeals decision in StorageTek v Custom Hardware Engineering ((2005) 421 F.3d 1307) all provide support for this proposition.

If you're looking for accommodation near the heart of the city, we know just the place! Located in the San Salvario neighbourhood, this inviting flat with cosy rooms and a pleasant atmosphere might be it!
The apartment features comes with a spacious twin bedroom with all the necessary amenities for your student needs, a bathroom and a quaint kitchen where you can do your cooking easily.
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have verified this property. We are still working on having the Landlord's contacts and documents fully verified.
Getting Around
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Geoff Whitehorn
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (August 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Geoffrey Charles 'Geoff' Whitehorn (born 29 August 1951, London, England) is a guitarist and singer-songwriter, who has played as a member of If, Crawler and Procol Harum.
In August 1973, Whitehorn joined the pioneering British jazz-rock band, If, in what was their third and final line-up, appearing on their last two albums, Not Just Another Bunch of Pretty Faces (1974) and Tea Break Over, Back on Your 'Eads (1975). During that period, he recorded his first solo album, Whitehorn (1974, Stateside), featuring fellow If members Dick Morrissey and Cliff Davies. This was followed by two largely instrumental solo albums, Big in Gravesend and Geoff Who? which he also re-recorded and expanded as Geoff Who? 2002. In 1976–1979, Whitehorn played in the band Crawler (formerly known as Back Street Crawler), replacing the band's founder Paul Kossoff after the latter's death.
Geoff also played as lead guitarist with Chuck Farley besides Steve Simpson, Boz Burrell, Poli Palmer and Alan Coulter.
In 1979 Whitehorn joined Roger Chapman' s Band The Shortlist, touring Europe extensively and recording ten albums with Chapman. His playing in the Band was inspired by jazz – harmonies. He left Shortlist in 1988.
In 1991, he joined the group Procol Harum,[1] and is now their second longest serving member (after founder Gary Brooker), having played on all of their recent recordings, such as The Long Goodbye, One More Time - Live in Utrecht 1992, The Well's on Fire and Novum as well as on Procol Harum's live DVDs in Denmark and at Union Chapel (Concert on Friday 12 December 2003), and one recorded with an orchestra in 2006 at Ledreborg Castle, again in Denmark. He has also played live and recorded with The Palers' Project, the Procol Harum quasi-tribute collective. He changed his style into a more classic rock solo performance.
Whitehorn has also contributed to the recordings and performances of other artists, such as Bad Company,[2] Jethro Tull,[3] Kevin Ayers, Elkie Brooks, The Who,[4] Roger Waters, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Paul McCartney, Billy Ocean and Paul Rodgers.[1] In 2007, he worked with Elkie Brooks on her UK tour. Since then Geoff has played regularly with Gambler and, more recently, The Strumbums.
Exceptional performances of Free's All Right Now (with Paul Rogers), The Who's Quadrophenia in Hyde Park & New York playing lead (while Pete Townshend strums acoustic), Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven (with Never the Bride and the British Rock Symphony) can be found on a popular internet video site.

SJC Chair of Chemistry and Director of the Office of Institutional Research Dr. Robert Pfaff, along with his wife, Dr. Kathy Parkison, Interim Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Professor of Economics at Indiana University Kokomo and a Fulbright Scholar to the country of Georgia in 2005, traveled to Ukraine to serve as monitors in the nation's historic May 25 election.
The observation was through the US State Department as part of our country's treaty obligations to the Organization for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) in Europe and its Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR). The treaty calls for all 57 member states to be subject to election observation and to provide observers for elections in other member states.
Prior to an election, ODIHR sets up a "mission" in the country holding the election to perform political analysis and to assess campaign practices, as well as provide ongoing security analyses and organize the volunteer observers being deployed for the election.
"Becoming involved in the democratization of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, noting that these are predominantly former Soviet states, is a logical continuation of the thinking of the Core Program," said Pfaff. "I think it's also relevant that I am a chemist getting involved in this, not a historian or a political scientist. This is way outside my professional box, but it's important to support these countries as they fight against their histories of elections only having Party-approved candidates on the ballot and official corruption not just being widespread, but expected."
Pfaff first got involved in elections in Jasper County, Ind. as a precinct election judge and has served in that capacity in all but one election the past eight years.
Pfaff said his motivation for observing international elections comes from his wife. During her Fulbright in Tbilisi, Georgia, she was invited by a team of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) workers to join them on an election observation mission to Azerbaijan, which borders Georgia to the east. She loved it and signed up with the State Department soon after returning home.
"I envied her adventures and signed up myself in 2009," said Pfaff. "My first deployment was to observe parliamentary elections in Georgia in 2010 and, since I was familiar with the country and its people, it was a perfect place to get my feet wet."
Pfaff and his wife flew into Kiev on Tuesday, May 20 for briefings. The two were deployed in the western part of the country, Pfaff to Ivanko-Frankivsk oblast, Parkison to Khmelnytsky oblast.
Pfaff was partnered with a Polish woman who works at the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The day before the election, the pair toured the area and mapped a course, which consisted of 10-12 precincts. On election day, the two traveled to their first precinct, where 12 members of the Precinct Election Commission (PEC) were present. Ukraine uses paper ballots; several PEC members checked IDs and had voters sign the voter lists. Voting booths featured blue and yellow cloths to provide privacy, and the ballot boxes were stationed in front of the Ukrainian Orthodox shrine.
The precincts came in all shapes and sizes. Pfaff's favorite was located in a new village, where an administration building was brought in by truck, placed on stone and concrete supports, and used as a polling station. Pfaff estimated the building could not have been larger than 12' x 25.'
When the voting closed, the PEC locked the doors and started counting, beginning with the number of voters who signed the lists, the number of unused ballots, and the number of spoiled ballots. To ensure the spoiled ballots remained unused, the lower right corner was cut off of them. The ballot boxes were opened one at a time and the ballots dumped on the table. A commissioner held each ballot up for scrutiny and announced the candidate who was voted for before stacking it by candidate. With 18 candidates, the ballot was very long.
Once the counting of the ballots was completed, the balloting materials were loaded into a small car for the trip to the district election commission to be turned in. After many hours of processing, checking for errors, and results submission, the election ended with a majority winner, ensuring there would not be a runoff election.
"Everything I saw went smoothly and transparently," said Pfaff. "The Ukrainian people expressed to me their desire to move forward, to have peace and good relations with both Russia and Europe, and to have a government without corruption. I think they took a good first step."
Named a "character-building college" by the Templeton Foundation, a "Best Midwestern College" by the Princeton Review, and "Best Value" and "Best Midwestern College" by US News & World Report, Saint Joseph's College is a four-year, Catholic college offering 27 majors, 4 group majors, 35 minors, and 9 pre-professional programs, complemented by the nationally acclaimed Core Program.

Need a good 12v VR head (or complete engine if possible). Please, nothing that needs "rebuilt" ( I already have that in the car!) but cams and lifters are not required.
I have cash and can pick...
Still have the head? If so, what kinda condition and how much?
Is this still available??
Still have the VR and trans? Is it a driveable set up or need major work (besides guides)?
Any car with a compression ratio over about 9.5:1 should run premium if you want the best performance/fuel mileage. The cars say it's "recommended" because the knock sensor systems can adjust timing...
Yes they're different. I did the one piece on the drivers side then decided I didn't like the way it worked. Always planned on returning it to stock but too many other things aways come up.
Got some 22x8 slicks going on next season...just took forever to get wheels! LOL I'll post pics up when I get the new body all ready to go. Should look MUCH better than the current rust bucket!
If you mean the race car...not until it has more HP. Anything taller slows it down! LOL
If you mean the Caddy...it'll have more when I'm doing more than just pushing it around the yard. ;)...

Sounds like you might be leaning out at the top. 9PSI is really pushing the limit on CIS unless you've improved overall flow by a bit. Mine ran hard to 7.5PSI, but needed the aux. fuel injector to...
Just a couple of days away! It's always a great time and the weather looks like it's gonna be AWESOME!

Well, if you spell it Michaela it's going to be mispronounced a lot, but if you spell it Mishaela it's going to be misspelled a lot. Decide what feels less complicated, but better try to find another name you love. Giving your child an established name and insisting that others pronounce it your way isn't a good idea.
For Marceline I prefer the original French spelling, but Marcheline is lovely, too.
Consider Micheline.polina ∙ 19 ∙ art history major ∙ web developer
french/russian/swedish ∙ living in st. petersburg, russia
clementine ∙ astrid ∙ sidonia ∙ ottoline
felix ∙ sebastian ∙ milo ∙ atticus
in the silence of your bones and eyes
forgotten magic sits and waits for fire
