Basically you'll have head light out put from your fog lights. Also have a few ideas for the SRT rear fogs. If you're interested let me know. We can figure out what all you want and go from there.

For some readers, the pleasures of the 2012 release Watchword will derive from translator Forrest Gander's English renditions of the poems, which showcase the striking work of Mexico's Pura López Colomé. For others the pleasure will lie in the gaps between languages in Wesleyan University Press's attractive bilingual edition, in those places where you find provocation: poetry in its still-potential state between voicings.
López Colomé describes her collection—called Santo y seña in the original Spanish—as a strange journey. The winner of Mexico's prestigious Villarrutia Prize, the book moves through three sections. Opening with a walk "on the roof of hell," Watchword ends with "a leap / of the five senses / towards memory's /threshold." The collection embodies a quest for identity: its first poem is entitled "Who Are You; What" ("Quién eres, qué"), while its final poem opens with partial conclusions.Soy recuerdo de enramada
tal vez de arbusto.
En cambio tú seguirás siendo
una mujer que emerge
a diario
desde sus cavilaciones,
cubriendo su solidez de roble
con un velo de seda
pegado a la piel.
(from "Allée Marie Laurent")
***I'm all memory of branches,
or brambles.
Whereas you
keep emerging
day by day
from your deliberations,
covering your oaky solidity
with that silken veil
you pin to your skin.
The quest also conjures a confrontation with mortality—many of its images subtly evoke the poet's struggle with cancer.
Aiming to capture the book's visionary conflation of instant with eternity throughout this journey, Gander matches López Colomé step for step. In practice this often means matching her poems stress for stress.For example, the pieces of one brief subsection, "2. Belleza, una verdad" ("2. Beauty, a truth"), trace Gander's recreation of emphases in López Colomé's lines. He makes subtle use of both expansion and contraction to generate the poem's movement:Y se las ingenia uno
para ubicuo ser
ante umbrales
certidumbres, reciedumbres, costumbres
a la vista.
***And so you find a way
to stay present
to thresholds, penumbras
affirmations, consolations, adaptations
Gander's strategy of splitting umbrales into two terms in English is an expansion that would not occur to all translators in the genre of poetry, where it's so much more common to trim the motions of Spanish down into a more sparing English version. This moment appears to reflect his determination to capture some of López Colomé's original sound structure (penumbras/umbras) while also communicating an integral part of her vision regarding threshold spaces. That gesture also works on another conceptual level. His strategy of doubling terms is true to López Colomé's interest in the way "a hidden meaning would exfoliate into multiple meanings"—it's probably no coincidence that she too is a translator (Poet's Afterword, 149).
Still, it could be said that Gander's doubling of the word is not much of an expansion after all. "Ante umbrales" has five syllables in the Spanish, while "to thresholds, penumbras" only ups that number to six; and what is more important, each version has two principal points of stress. Throughout the book, Gander has often selected phrasing that echoes the pattern of emphasis in the original lines. It's not very useful, then, to paint this edition as a longer Spanish original placed alongside a more compact English poem; instead what makes this translation so powerful is the dynamism Gander derives from the meeting of urgencies with pause.
Other details within the sample poem similarly represent translation strategies in the larger book. In terms of sound quality, Gander may have preserved the echo in "penumbras / umbras" but also shifts to a different set of affinities in the following phrase, where three terms echoing "-umbres" in Spanish switch to a series of "-ations": "affirmations, consolations, adaptations." His willingness to switch up sounds allows him to evoke López Colomé's plays of assonance and alliteration, a delight in language as such, which creates depth by brightening the darkness of pain. With the degree of personalization, where the subject in Spanish is an impersonal "uno," Gander has chosen "you," avoiding the often awkward "one." His choice pushes the tone over to a more intimate stance in dialogue, which works well again near the poem's close:
Por ejempio,
lo que el hado
en virtud de otra persona
logra en uno.
***Consider, for example,
what fate,
by virtue of someone else,
might draw from you.
Watchword includes a short commentary by López Colomé in which she flags her lifelong preoccupation with boundaries between formal and informal language. Reading her Spanish-language version reawakens a bit of that tension. "Pasa" ("Come on in") is the title of one poem, and yet there is a tangible restraint throughout her book. Gander's English version of poem seems oriented toward drawing the reader in just a little bit more throughout the text. In those four lines, for example, he adds an injunction: "Consider"—a call to the reader which is not openly articulated in the Spanish. It is his second expansive gesture in just one page of poetry. While the doubling of each term remains a minimal intervention, and one reflecting the spirit in which the Spanish can indeed be read, it's still an interpretive gesture from Gander that not everyone would make in this genre.
With these delicate amplifications we can see him skirting a boundary he delineates in his introduction to the book. Gander observes that López Colomé's poetry has hermetic qualities, but he seems to want to let us in. He takes time to emphasize the personal nature of the poems, particularly their relationship to the lived experience of illness, and highlights the way their "musicality and syntactical tensions adjust to create, not merely describe, emotional situations." His careful set of choices in the act of translation complements this attitude, allowing him to heighten the warmth in English even as he retains the discipline of López Colomé's movements.
Of course, for every gain in translation there are losses. For example, López Colomé refers indirectly to Mexico's Virgin of Guadalupe in these lines from "Los viejos almacenes" ("Those Old Grocery Shops"):Creer que la poeía es encantamiento
que se rompe sólo por conjuro propio
para hacer llover,
para retratar la fragrancia
de las rosas en la tilma,
para dar con el aurum non vulgi
The reference is to the sacred image of the Virgin on the tilma (cloak or robe) belonging to "El Indio" Juan Diego. According to legend he encountered the Virgin at Tepeyac on various occasions in 1531. Asking that he convince the community to build her a shrine, the Virgin eventually sent him to pick flowers, which he carried in his cloth. The flowers offered proof of her miraculous appearance, because they had appeared out of season—but when Juan Diego opened his tilma to show his flowers to the bishop, an even greater miracle appeared. The fabric contained a portrait of the Virgin, surrounded in a golden radiance. This is the portrait displayed today at Mexico's world-famous basilica, a mecca for tourists and pilgrims alike, second only to the Vatican in its draw for the Catholic world. Gander's translation captures the beauty of the flowers and communicates the power of writing in relation to their fragrance, and its rhythm is effective. Yet it dispenses with a whole other level of power, the link to the Virgin's iconic portrait, when he renders "retratar" (to portray, depict, paint a portrait of) as "stir up":
To believe poetry is an enchantment
yielding only for a real spell
to make it rain,
to stir up the fragrance
of the roses that brushed a poncho,
to recover the true gold, the non vulgi
The translation produces effective poetry, and using a reference to portraiture might not convey significantly more information to an uninitiated reader. Perhaps only a translator's essay would do this. Gander does point to the fact that López Colomé includes references to institutional spirituality in this book but pulls back from parroting its languages, conjuring spiritual experience in her own voice. But a good bilingual display should provoke precisely this kind of meditation: if a translator chose a different strategy, could this passage emphasize more of the profound spiritual power López Colomé invests in her original? Unlike a monolingual presentation that presents a finished, closed appearance, a bilingual edition creates a new door allowing readers to enter the poetry, a space between the two visions. The best of these editions reach out to people who enjoy being intrigued and challenged, seducing us into re-imagining the poems in our own terms.

This week in baseball is one the most exciting of the year no matter how casual or die hard a baseball fan you are. With the Home Run Derby Monday night and the All-Star Game tonight which will also take place at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The American League will battle the National League in the a baseball tradition inaugurated in 1933 to make this the 85th annual All-Star Game.
Here's what you need to know about the game:
1. The American League Shut Out the National League Last Year
Looking back on last year, the American League shut out the National League for the seventh time in the history of the event. The 2013 MLB All-Star Game marked the first time in history that one of the leagues shut out the other two years in a row.
The American League out-pitched the National League to earn a 3-0 win at the New York Mets' Citi Field.
Mariano Rivera pitched the shut out for the American League in his last All-Star game ever. Watch the video above to see his warm welcome into the stadium before the game.
2. It is Derek Jeter's Last All-Star Game
Derek Jeter debuted in the All-Star game in 1994 when he was 20 years old. Since then he has been chosen to play in 14 of them, including his final game this year representing the American League.
Like last year for the Yankee's relief pitcher, there will be a tribute to New York City's most beloved short stop, except even bigger and more emotional. Watch the video above to see his tribute video curated by Nike- Jordan.
3. Jose Bautista (American) and Troy Tulowitzki (National) are the Captains
This year Jose Bautista will be playing in the 5th All-Star game of his career. He was one of the top receivers of votes onto the American League team of all time and was chosen to be captain as a veteran of the team.
In 2010, he led the league with 54 home runs. The following year he held his title with 43 home runs.
Tulowitzki made moved up to the major league just a year and 126 minor league games after being drafted in 2005. Since moving up to the Colorado Rockies, he has tallied well over 1,000 hits for the team.
As a talented veteran shortstop at the Colorado Rockies, he bear many similarities to Derek Jeter who will be retiring after this season. Like Jeter, he has played on the same team for his whole career (so far) and plays the same position.
He has a .299 career batting average as of April 2014.

4. Idina Menzel is Singing the National Anthem
Tony Award-winner Idina Menzel will be singing the U.S. National Anthem tonight at the All-Star game, along with a special performance prior to the event. Watch the video above to see her performance at the Oscars.
Menzel is most famous for her role as Elsa in Disney's Frozen, a global box office hit. The most famous of her songs is "Let It Go" which won an Oscar this past year.
Panis! At the Disco will also be making an appearance tonight and performing in the pre-game ceremony.

TENNIS: Kvitkova reaches New Haven final
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova reached the finals of the Connecticut Open for the third straight year, beating Samantha Stosur 6-3, 6-1 on Friday.
She will face a close friend, Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia, for the title. The 68th-ranked Rybarikova beat Camila Giorgi of Italy 6-2, 6-4 in the first semifinal.
Kvitova, ranked No. 4, bombarded Stosur with 11 aces, nine in the first set, improving to 5-0 against the Australian in hard-court matches.
Kvitova broke Stosur's serve to take an early 3-1 lead, one of her four service breaks in the match. She did not get much of a challenge on her own serve, facing just four break points.
Kvitova clinched the first set with three aces in the last game and cruised from there.
Kvitova won the tournament in 2012 and lost to Simona Halep in last year's final.

Two Gator Basketball Players Arrested Over Weekend
In this kind of scenario, Basketball Head Coach Billy Donovan would like his player to avoid charges. Over the weekend, sophomore Erik Murphy and freshman Cody Larson were arrested in St. Augustine on felony burglary charges for allegedly breaking into a car, according to Sgt Jason Etheredge of the St. Augustine Police Department.
Police said Murphy and Larson were freed on bond, after being arrested early Sunday morning.
Officers were told by bouncers at the nightclub Scarlet Ohara's that Murphy and Larson were caught breaking into a co-workers car outside the club. Police said the victim didn't notice anything missing.
Murphy saw playing time off the bench, helping the Florida Gators reach the Elite Eight for the first time since 2007. Larson, who redshirted in his freshman year, told police he is on probation in his home state of South Dakota for a previous charge.
Both were expected to play more significant roles for the basketball team next season.

'"I think everyone in our team has stepped forward as far as experience-wise," Miller said. "So, I don't doubt that we have a team to get back there. I think that everyone has been talking about losing Briere and Drury, who obviously were key parts from the team. But we learned a lot from them and guys are going to have to step up and play bigger roles. We do have a core group of guys who are exciting to watch and are great hockey players."'

As a young child, Natasha Schooten would spend hours in the kitchen looking over the shoulder of her grandmother as she carefully prepared wholesome, nutritious dishes for friends and family. Her grandmother's passion and respect for food ultimately became the fuel for Natasha's successful future in the culinary arts.
Originally from the small town of Nanton Alberta, Natasha began her career studying culinary arts at the SAIT Polytechnic in Calgary. Following graduation, Natasha started a seven-year career with Delta Hotels and Resorts that took her on a culinary journey across Canada as far east as Guelph Ontario and as far west as Kamloops, British Columbia. Prior to starting with the Watermark Beach Resort, Natasha worked under Chef Michael Allemeier at the Mission Hill Family Estate winery in Kelowna.
Working with talented chefs from across the country, Natasha further developed her appreciation for back-to-basics cooking that incorporates fresh, local ingredients. Natasha learned first hand that thinking globally and sourcing locally is not just politically correct, but is also personally rewarding for chefs and growers alike.
While her career took her to many special places in Canada, Natasha fell in love with the tastes and sights of the Okanagan region. "The undeniable connection between the food and the wines of the Okanagan and the gentle hints of complementary flavours that allow each ingredient to support this balance make for a very unique place. The exemplary food and wine combined with the breathtaking landscape makes for an experience like none other," notes Chef de Cuisine, Natasha Schooten.
As Chef de Cuisine at the new Watermark Beach Resort in Osoyoos, Natasha will continue to champion her passion and relationship with the growers, the wineries and her team. Partnering with local farmers and producers, the Watermark Wine Bar and Patio will showcase an ever-changing, fresh menu that incorporates all of Natasha's passions.
The new 153 suite Watermark Beach Resort is set to launch into its first summer season offering Penthouse, Studio, One, Two and Three-bedroom Suites offer all the comforts and conveniences of home, including stainless steel kitchen appliances, deep soaking tubs, flat-screen televisions in the master bedrooms and living areas, and private balconies with breathtaking views of the lake or desert landscape. The hotel's complement of amenities include a yoga studio, fitness facility, steam room, hot tubs, seasonal outdoor pool, and the Watermark Wine Bar and Patio serving up the finest and freshest the local producers have to offer.
Located 396 kilometres (246 miles) from Vancouver or 457 kilometers (284 miles) from Seattle and accessible via either Kelowna International Airport or Penticton Airport, Osoyoos boasts Canada's driest climate with the lowest rainfall and highest temperatures in the country. For more information about weddings at the Watermark Beach Resort, call the hotel at 1.888.755.3480 or visit www.watermarkbeachresort.com.

Wiring a 220V dryer plug on a 110 power panel , in Mexico
I moved a stackable 220 Volt dryer to Mexico, and have a 220 female plyg htat I could have installed by an electrician. I was told that it could not be done, as the plug is 3 phase, and they can only provide 2 phase. I don't understand this. Can it be done?
I will hazard a guess: I think he means that you need a 3 wire 120/240 volt circuit (2 hots + a neutral). And they have only 2 wire 220 volt service. If this is the case, your dryer will not work.

Re: CONSOLIDATED STICKY: Traditional Catholic Music
I've recently discovered that Antonin Dvorak's "Stabat Mater" and "Requiem" are really awesome, especially for those of us who like strong, powerful performances. They are available on iTunes and Amazon.
On the more mellow side, I also recommend Hearts of Spaces "Sacred Treasures" series, (there are five cd's in the series), the best are the first, fourth, and fifth. They are very relaxing and beautiful. They are also available on iTunes and Amazon.
For those who like getting really deep into Eastern Christian music, there is the series "Orthodox Shrines of the Russian North" on iTunes.

Pundit: How about a Paul/Lee ticket. Shurtleff signs controversial settlement. New Congress starts today.
Happy Thursday. After Sen. Mike Lee of Utah voted against the fiscal cliff deal, a pundit on The Hill newspaper's blog suggests a Rand Paul/Mike Lee presidential ticket in 2016: "Paul and Lee have added strength, maturity and character to the Senate since assuming office in 2011. They and they alone in the Senate have brought the Tea Party's passionate rants to responsible and effectively engaged government. We start again with them. Both should have their eyes on the Oval Office in 2016." [TheHill]
-> Meanwhile, today marks the start of the 113th Congress and The Salt Lake Tribune's Washington bureau will be there to bring you all the gory details. Check back at sltrib.com later today for a look at newly-minted Rep. Chris Stewart as well as Sen. Orrin Hatch's arrival as the most senior Republican in the Senate.
Topping the news: In his final hours in office, AG Mark Shurtleff signed papers to settle a lawsuit with Bank of America, a new client of the law firm he'll be joining. [Trib]
-> A great read in National Journal looking at the inside of how the fiscal cliff deal came down and almost didn't happen. [NJ]
Tweets of the day: From @Mollyesque: "Huh, he misspelled "Boehner." RT @GovChristie: 10s of thousands of New Jerseyans entered 2013 unsure of their future bc of Sandy."

It's a handful.
I much prefer the PM-9, but if you can stand to shoot it enough to become proficient with it, it is a great carry gun. I have noticed that people with smaller hands do much better with the PM40 than I do, with my largish hands and long fingers, because they are able to grip it properly. If you cannot get a good grip on the PM40, the trigger and trigger guard will bang your trigger finger up pretty good, after several rounds.

At last, honors for the first black Marines
For decades Joseph Smith, 87, didn't want to think or talk about his time in the Marine Corps.
"Whenever military service came up I couldn't truthfully say, 'Yeah, I'm a proud Marine,'" Smith said. "I tried to say it and it wouldn't quite come out."
Smith was one of thousands of African Americans who joined the Marine Corps during World War II and then learned they would be shipped off to a separate boot camp for blacks and serve in segregated support units commanded by white officers.
PHOTOS: The Montford Marines
Along the way they suffered indignities — limited to support assignments while on duty, and confronted with racism when they were home on leave. After their service, they were not encouraged to stay in the military. Most faded from history.
"No one knew we existed," he said.
That's changed. One balmy evening this summer, Smith and other black World War II-era Marines sat alongside the Marine Corps commandant and watched an evening parade in their honor at the historic Marine Barracks in Washington.
Some of them were using canes. Others were in wheelchairs. Ranks of crisply dressed Marines passed in front of the reviewing stands, where Smith sat during the parade.
Smith struggled later to explain the emotions he felt. "It was liberating," said Smith, who received a doctorate after the war and went on to a career as a professor and administrator at the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign. "At last I feel like a damned Marine."
The Marine Corps is determined to rescue the story of the Montford Point Marines — so named because of the segregated boot camp they attended — even though it has meant confronting uncomfortable truths about the history of the Corps and some of the earliest black Marines.
"How could we have taken that part of our history and slid it off to the side and not embraced it?" Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos said in a recent speech.
Amos has ordered the Marine Corps to teach recruits the history of the Montford Point Marines, with the rest of the Corps' legacy. He also intends to incorporate their story into the curriculum of advanced courses for senior officers.
"We're going to anchor the rich history of Montford Point in the 236-year history of the United States Marine Corps," Amos told a gathering of Montford Point Marines this summer.
This week, the House of Representatives unanimously approved a Congressional Gold Medal honoring the Montford Point Marines. A similar bill is pending in the Senate.
The outpouring of appreciation after so many years has surprised some of the aging veterans.
Recently, Smith joined more than 100 other Montford Point Marines as the guests of Amos in Washington, D.C. The veterans, now mostly in their 80s, met black officers, attended a parade in their honor and visited the commandant in his circa 1806 home. Young Marines assisted them when needed.
The Marine Corps treated them to a breakfast on white table cloths and served them chipped beef with eggs — a staple of chow halls for decades.
"We got treated royally," said Theodore Peters, 88. "I've never experienced anything like that."
Fighting institutional racism
Most Americans have heard of the Tuskegee Airmen, black pilots who flew during World War II, and the Buffalo Soldiers, the legendary African-American Army units that fought during the Indian wars.
The Montford Point Marines barely rated a footnote in the military's history. Even some Marines don't know of the story, said Chief Warrant Officer 4 James Averhart Jr., an active duty Marine who is president of the Montford Point Marine Association.
Deciding to incorporate the Montfort Point Marines into the pantheon of Marine Corps legends is notable in an institution that reveres its past.
Every recruit learns the story of Belleau Wood, the World War I battle where the Marines' ferocity earned them the name Devil Dogs; and of the exploits of "Chesty" Puller, the legendary Marine commander.
Now the Montford Point Marines will officially be part of the Corps' story.
Recognizing the Montfort Point Marines meant confronting racism in the Corps' past. The Marines were slower than the Army in allowing African Americans into their ranks.
With the exception of a few slaves and freemen in the Continental Marines during the American Revolution, blacks did not serve in the Marine Corps until World War II — and even then, many military leaders were reluctant to include them.
"If it were a question of having a Marine Corps of 5,000 whites or 250,000 Negroes, I would rather have the whites," Maj. Gen. Thomas Holcomb, the Marine commandant, said in 1941, when the services were ordered to desegregate.
"Why the Marine Corps was the last one, I don't know," Amos told the gathering of Montford Point Marines. "It breaks my heart."
African Americans joined the Marines during World War II despite the hostility.
To train them, the Marines carved a camp out of a spit of land at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. The woods were filled with bears and snakes, and the humid air was filled with mosquitoes during the summer. From 1942 to 1949, 20,000 black men were turned into Marines there.
Theodore Peters was drafted in Chicago in 1943, and when he arrived at the processing center he was told he would be sent to the Navy. He told the Selective Service officials that he didn't want to be a sailor, knowing that he would likely end up as a steward serving white officers in a ship's wardroom.
A Marine recruiter sitting nearby heard Peters tell the officials he didn't want to join the Navy.
"Send him over to me," the recruiter said.
Smith joined the Marines in Boston in 1943. He and a group of other recruits, white and black, were changing trains in Washington, D.C., on their way to North Carolina when a conductor stood in Smith's way.
"Where you going?" the conductor asked Smith as he was about to climb aboard.
He pointed Smith to the car reserved for blacks, which was immediately behind the engine car. In the summer, it got hot and when passengers opened the windows, cinders and ashes blew in.
A white recruit who was in charge of the small group confronted the conductor. "We'll sit where he sits," the white recruit told the conductor. "We're together."
The conductor relented, but Smith and others from the North were in for more humiliation. The recruiter in Boston told him he would receive the same training as other Marines. Smith learned otherwise on the train south, when he compared his orders with those of white recruits.
The whites were headed to Parris Island, S.C. He was on his way to Montford Point.
"I was bewildered," Smith said.
After boot camp, black Marines were not allowed into traditional combat units, but instead were put into support roles, such as defending bases or hauling ammunition. Even so, they did make a mark in other ways: In training, black units set servicewide marksmanship and gunnery records.
"We wanted to be excellent in every aspect of our being," said Edwin Fizer, 86, who served in the Pacific after Montford Point.
'We just took a lot of stuff'
The color barrier broke down when they faced Japanese machine guns.
Black Marines were on Iwo Jima, the bloody fight that came to define Marine Corps tenacity and bravery. Their job was to supply ammunition and other supplies to combat units, but the distinction between support jobs and combat arms didn't matter.
"Can you imagine being on the island of Iwo Jima and your job is going from ship to shore with just thousands and thousands of rounds firing over your head to deliver ammunition, deliver food and water, and to evacuate the wounded and the dead?" asked Marine Maj. Gen. Ronald Bailey, who is black and commander of the 1st Marine Division.
They patrolled in jungles, hauled ammunition and carried injured white Marines. When white Marines were killed, blacks picked up their weapons and fought, Averhart said.
"We had done everything to prove our mettle," Fizer said.
It made little difference back in the United States.
Smith and other black Marines were on a troop train that stopped in Tupelo, Miss.
A sign that said "Welcome Servicemen" promised hot coffee and food for the tired and hungry Marines. When the locals saw that the train was carrying blacks, the Red Cross closed the food booth and the train pulled out of the station.
"It was the most humiliating thing I encountered while in the Marines," Smith said.
When they faced racism, they often checked their impulse to openly fight back.
"We didn't want anyone to say we messed up, that blacks couldn't be Marines," Peters said. "We just took a lot of stuff."
There were times, though, when a Marine's sense of brotherhood transcended the racial divide. Fizer said he once was sitting in a bus station in Jacksonville, N.C., returning to base after leave, when a Marine asked why Fizer hadn't boarded a bus yet. Fizer told him they allowed only one black for every 10 whites who boarded a bus.
The Marine pulled out his .45-caliber pistol and pointed it at the head of the station clerk.
"I want him on the bus immediately," the Marine said, a cigarette dangling from his lips. The frightened clerk complied, Fizer said.
When the war ended, many of the Montford Point Marines left the service because they didn't feel welcome. Some tried to forget their experience.
"I gave all my Marine Corps things away when I got out," Joseph Burrell, 89, said of his uniforms.
Smith put the Marine Corps behind him as well. He surprised himself about 40 years ago when he was at a Rotary Club. By turn, veterans of each service had stood to be recognized. He and another Marine stood when their turn came.
Someone from the audience yelled, "Only two Marines?"
"That's all it takes," Smith shot back.
It was a typical bit of Marine Corps bravado, but Smith said he was surprised it came out of him. "What the hell am I doing?" Smith recalls thinking. He went back to suppressing his memory of the Corps.
But about five or six years ago he asked his wife, who was more skilled on the computer, to research Montford Point.
Smith began attending reunions, including one at Montford Point. The camp has been renamed and is home to a Montford Point museum.
"I swore I would never go to that place again," Smith said. But he said he was glad he went to share stories with other men who had similar experiences.
During a meeting of Montford Point Marines about six years ago, Smith ran into a senior Marine officer who was black.
"You can't imagine how much pride I feel seeing you in that uniform," he told the officer. "It's enough to make an old Marine cry."
"I owe much of this to you," the officer told Smith.
Bailey said he has drawn inspiration from the Montford Point Marines throughout his career. And when he took command of the Marines' storied 1st Marine Division, about 50 aging Montford Point Marines were at the ceremony.
"I'm standing on their shoulders," Bailey said.

How to remove coils from 96 EL Ford Falcon
I was just wondering How to remove coils from a 96 EL Ford Falcon? Would I have to get a spring compressor? Do I just undo something? Jack it up etc. etc.? Thanks to all!
Have a good one!
removing coil springs
First jack up the vehicle on stands.
Using your floor jack, jack up the suspension on that corner to relieve the load on the spring. use a spring compressor to collect the spring.
Tie the spring with some good rope and leave the compressor on as well.
Remove a ball joint, preferably the upper one. and gently allow the spindle to swing over to the side.
Slowly let your jack down til the spring loses all contact with the upper spring bucket.
When the lower control arm is bottomed out, remove the spring. To replace the spring repeat this process in reverse.
Wow. Thats quite a process lol! Where would I be able to get a spring compressor and for how much? loL! Thanks so much for your reply Max Keith! Really appreciate it!
i think this may be what you're looking for http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...id=00947057000
Mashing springs
Check with your local tool rental place or at an auto parts house,and see if they have loners or rental tools. Thats a lot cheaper than buying one.
YW. Springs are a very deadly item when they release from under tension, that is why taking it slow and easy are the bywords.
Getting hit by a spring that suddenly flies out of tension, is very dangerous.
Nice as Old School Rods. I'll try and track one down! Yeah I've heard lots of stuff bout people being seriously injured from releasing springs. So I'll take your advice and take it very very very easy and slowly. No rushing this job. I'll post a pic of the finished job Thanks all. Also, how do people lower leaves? Have a good one!
Lowering Leaf springs
This all depends on whether your rear end is mounted over or under your leaf springs. As a rule cars usually have the axle mounted over the leafs and this makes it a lot easier.
what is required are New U-bolts with the added length to them that you desire to lower the vehicle. IE: a 2 inch drop will require U-bolts 2 inches longer.
First bloc your vehicle on supports under where the rear frame kick up is welded to the frame rail, or in the case of a unibody, at the rear jacking pads.
This does not require jacking up the car, if you are able to get under it otherwise.
Remove the u-bolts that clamp the axle to the leaf springs. one side at a time. Using your floor jack, raise the axle on that corner high enough to put spacers between the axle and the springs.
These are sold under the genaric name of lowering blocks.
After you have installed enough lowering blocks to drop your vehicle the desired height, drop the axle back down on the spacers and install the new U-bolts.
So if you want to lower the rear end by 2 inches, you will need 2 inches thickness of lowering blocks.
You can also make lowering blocks out of scrap slabs of aluminum. Simply get the measurement of the mounting pad on your axle that rests upon the springs and cut the slabs to those dimentions. Half inch aluminum slabs are common to be found at a scrap yard. you will need to dril a hole in at least the bottom spacer to go on the springs as here is a centering lug on the spring. in order to keep all the slabs together and in alignment, I would drill and tap through all of them and using a piece of all thread, screw it down into all but the bottom spacer, then using something like JB Weld or Devcon, glue the bottom spacer to the rest of them. The spring pad on your axle will have a hole in it for the centering lug, so you would want a short bit of the all thread to stick up so it will go into that centering hole. If you elect to use all thread and screw all the spacers onto it, you will want to have them together when you tap the threads or they will not fit together. the alternative would be to smooth bore them and drive a bolt of the same dimension into the hole, grinding the head down so it will fit in the centering hole in the spring pad.
It wont hurt to put a dab of epoxy between each and all of the lowering blocks to cement them together as well.
I would recommend if you fabricate your lowering blocks, that when you epoxy them together, put a C-clamp or some such device around the spacers to hold them together while the epoxy sits up. Probably would be best to do this before you drill them.
A word of caution. Drastically lowering the rear end of your vehicle can throw off your pinion angle in relation to the drive shaft. To correct the pinion angle may require the use of wedge shaped spacers. As long as you dont go more than 2-3 inches you should be ok.
One more item to check out carefully is your drive shaft clearance to the floor tunnel. Lowering the car can cause the driveshaft to rub or hit the floor when going over big bumps.
I personally wouldnt go more than 2 inches maximum, on lowering the rear.

Becareful with leaf springs too, I have been involved in changings springs on a blue bird school bus (those things wiegh a TON) and we always put a big clamp on them to keep them from comming down and cracking you in the knee. May not be the best method but no busted kneees to report.
Oh boofis I don't know if you have Sears in Austriallia or not (please forgive my ignorance if you do) But that is always a good place to look for quality tools especially to get started

Wow! I'm glad I don't own a car with leaves lol!

Is that rule just for leave springs? Or Coils aswell? Thanks for that description, it will come in handy if I get the Toyota SR 5 Ute down the road! Na Old School, as far as I know we don't have sears loL! Thats always ok! loL! But I"ll look for something along those lines! Thanks all! have a good one! LoL! ANother question! Is it true that some mags won't fit because of the suspenion or something? It doesn't clear it. I've just heard of that but not sure whether its true! And why are mags so expensive :'(!
lowering blocks
2 inches is just a guideline I was taught several years ago and have just used it as referance.
Mainly on the rear.

96 EL Falcon
Nice looking car. Wish we could get those over here.
when i lowered my truck, it came with guide lines much like max keith described. i have leaf springs on muine and used shackles. and the coils on the front actually broke the rope i used... almost a mess up. luckily all i had to replace was a pair of underwear.lol...
dropping your car
The biggest limitation to dropping your vehicle is clearances on chassis, body, and suspension parts. You could lower a vehicle til youre metal to metal but thats not good.
Good thing for spare undies, and good thing you didnt have to wear the other ones to the hospital.

Kerala Backwater Tourism
The uniqueness of the Geography of Kerala lies in its intricate network of lakes, lagoons, rivers, and canals spread over 1500 kms. Kerala's land and water share an extraordinary kinship with each other. The economy of the state and the life of its people is closely bound with water. An unhurried backwater cruise in traditional houseboats, country boats and staying in traditional houses (home stay) is the best way to discover the real Kerala and enjoy its exceptional scenic beauty.
The backwaters of Kerala- twisty inland lakes networked by canals - extend to over 1900km..Vembanad lake is the largest of the lakes, covering an area of 200 sq km, and bordered by Alappuzha (Alleppey), Kottayam, and Ernakulam (cochin) districts. Just 12 km from Kottayam, this exclusive backwater destination sited on the banks of the Vembanad lake is considered the gateway to the backwaters of Kuttanad.
Kerala Home Stay is Here to Stay
The concept of home stay is considered to be the best alternative to hotel and resort accommodation in the hospitality industry.kerala homestay is the 1st option to explore this beautiful land popularly called God's own country around the world. kerala home stay helps you come across land, people, culture and cuisine of any place in its pristine elements unlike hotel accommodation.
Kerala Houseboat vacations
The kerala state is blessed with beautiful beaches and back waters, which are the most important tourist attraction of Kerala - Kumarakom - alleppey. Kerala's centuries old, palm fringed backwaters kerala are stretch over 1900 kms. These kerala backwater is the prominent feature of a holiday in Kerala - Kumarakom - alleppey. It is an incredible experience to sail down these soothing waters in a house boat and comprehend the unusual aspects of Kerala life.
Kerala boathouse, also known as kerala Kettuvalloms helps the tourist in discovering the enchanting kerala backwaters and lively villages of Kerala on a houseboat cruise. Apart from excellent outlook, these houseboats kerala are extremely eco-friendly, as it is made of of bamboo poles, coconut fiber, ropes, bamboo mats, carpets etc.
The kumarakom houseboats of today are used for leisure trips, but in old days, these kerala Kettuvalloms were used for commercial purpose. The original kumarakom kettuvalloms were used to carry tones of rice and spices from Kuttanad or Kumarakom to the Kochi port. But due to the large influx of modern day transport facilities, these houseboats kerala revived themselves as a luxurious entity. The Kettuvalloms-houseboat Kerala are giant country crafts, measuring up to 80 feet in length. The kumarakom boat house have all the creature comforts of a good hotel including furnished bedrooms, modern toilets, cozy living rooms, a kitchen and even a balcony for angling. Parts of the curved roof of wood or plaited palm open out to provide shade and allow uninterrupted views. Thus, these extravagant houseboats take you along a vast network of lagoons, lakes, rivers and canals and provide you excellent facilities of inland navigation.
We have various list of kollam kumarakom alleppey houseboat cruise packages.
Kerala Eco-tourism:
Perhaps the most over-used and mis-used word in the travel industry. But what does it mean? The Ecotourism Society defines it as "responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of the local people". A walk through the rainforest is not eco-tourism unless that particular walk somehow benefits that environment and the people who live there. A rafting trip is only eco-tourism if it raises awareness and funds to help protect the watershed. A loose interpretation of this definition allows many companies to promote themselves as something that they are not. If true eco-tourism is important to you, ask plenty of questions to determine if your trip will help "conserve and improve" the places you visit.
Kerala Sustainable Tourism:
Any form of tourism that does not reduce the availability of resources and does not inhibit future travelers from enjoying the same experience. If the presence of large numbers of tourists disturbs an animal's mating patterns so that there are fewer of that species in the future then that visit was not sustainable.
Kerala Responsible Tourism:
Tourism which operates in such a way as to minimize negative impacts on the environment. A wilderness camping trip using "Leave No Trace" ethics would be considered responsible tourism while dune buggy tours would not

Location Information
Kerala has experienced an unparalleled surge of national and international tourists seeking exotic and natural beauty.
Munnar lies to the east of Kerala and has extensive tea estates planted across the range of mountains and has even been called the Switzerland of the East. There are few places on Earth like Munnar when it comes to natural beauty.
The backwaters in Kumarako, are a unique feature of Kerala. Kerala consists of tens of thousands of islands of all shapes and sizes that spread out across the Arabian Sea. Protected from the natural elements of the open sea, the backwaters between these islands form placid lakes and channels. At Kumarakom these backwaters widen to 9km across and provide an unprecedented experience for tourists and travelers.
The Kumarakom houseboats are another famous and unique feature of the Kerala area. The old country-boats called 'kettuvallams' were modified to accommodate tourists. At present these houseboats of Kumarakom have numerous bedrooms and even conference halls seating up to 200 people.
The Kerala honeymoon packageson the boats are popular all over the world. Away from the madding city crowds, these houseboats provide an affordable hideaway for the kerala honeymooners on the placid backwaters of Kumarakom.
Kottayam is an important commercial center in India as a producer of cash crops. Most of India's natural rubber originates from the acres of well-kept plantations in Kottayam and is also home to the Rubber Board which is one of the country's primary commodities board. The mountainous regions offer some of the finest views of the surrounding landscape including serene palm-fringed backwaters to the west and the Western Ghats to the east.
Kottayam is an ancient town famous for its churches some over 700 years-old such as the Cheria palli ('small church') with exceptionally beautiful paintings over the altar and the Valia Palli ('Big Church') perched on a picturesque hillock over a small cluster of houses. In the St.Mary's Church Kuravilangad, built in 355 AD, there is an old bell which is inscribed with an undeciphered inscription. The mortal remains of the blessed Alphonsa and the Blessed Father Chavara are entombed at the St. Mary's Church at Bharananganam and the St.Joseph's Monastery Church at Mannanam. Thousands gather at these holy shrines during festive occasions.
The town of Pala and Kanjirappally, nourished by the Meenachil and Manimala rivers are centers of rubber plantations. The Ettumanoor Shiva Temple, 12km to the north, has exceptionally beautiful wall paintings and sculptures inside. In the heart of Kottayam town is the much venerated Thirunakkara Mahadeva temple.

Yesterday I mentioned the latest, and in my view genuinely funny, Downfall / Hitler-rant parody, in which the Fuhrer bemoans the recent setbacks for the Romney campaign. I can't embed it, but you can see it here.
I also mentioned that the video included a "DC press in-joke," about a Washington Post writer who has become the "Baghdad Bob" of the 2012 campaign via the ability to spin any news, of any sort, as the best possible development for the Romney campaign. For clarity I should point out that her name is Jennifer Rubin, and the video refers to her below:
Imagine my amazement when the person who created the video, Daniel Vergara, wrote in to say that what I considered a side allusion was for him the entire point of the project. With his permission, here is his account:
I wanted to take exception to one little thing in this brief post about the Downfall parody video, the suggestion that Jennifer Rubin is an inside DC press joke.
I am the one who made the Downfall parody video, and I'm a Floridian single dad who has nothing to do with the media, who hasn't been to DC since the Clinton Administration, and who made that video almost as an afterthought after putting my little boy to bed and finding myself with some free time.
Jennifer Rubin is well-known outside the DC inner circle, and her jenrubinisms are legendary in more places than you'd think. The entire purpose of the video was to mock Rubin (as is the parody account I've created of her) and nearly everything else was added as filler for the long, loooong (but you don't really understand how very long until you have to make one) rest of the video. I have a fascination with Rubin based on the fact that I think we are living through historic times, that future generations will speak of her in amazement, and that she might even lend her name to an era or a practice, not unlike, for example, this.
Now I know. Thanks to Vergara for the video, even if I originally missed its point.

Google got a headstart, under the name of its subsidiary Ranger Inc., for the stalking-horse bid (the minimum) of $900 million. Some more bidders emerged, like Intel, and another one, under the name of Rockstar Bidco LP, which, although hilarious as a name in itself, didn't make clear who is behind the endeavor. People thought it could be Intellectual Ventures, or some of the other patent troll companies out there.
Only after the legal community saw that the Rockstar Bidco LP consortium name has replaced Ranger Inc. in the filings Thursday, it became clear that the companies behind it have won Nortel's patents. The other three names forming Rockstar Bidco LP turned out to be the wireless equipment giant Ericsson, who also bought Nortel's physical assets, as well as EMC and Sony.
Now we don't know how exactly Google was played, but its legal woes with Android seemingly won't be abated any time soon. RIM disclosed it paid $770 million for its part of the patent deal, while Ericsson paid $340 million, which means the rest (most likely Apple and Microsoft), have gotten the lion's share of patents. Patent lawyers of the world and Nortel's creditors, rejoice.

Edward Witten (; born August 26, 1951) is an American theoretical physicist and professor of mathematical physics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
Witten is a researcher in string theory, quantum gravity, supersymmetric quantum field theories, and other areas of mathematical physics.
In addition to his contributions to physics, Witten's work has significantly impacted pure mathematics.[1] In 1990 he became the first and so far only physicist to be awarded a Fields Medal by the International Mathematical Union. In 2004, Time magazine stated that Witten was widely thought to be the world's greatest living theoretical physicist.[2]
Birth and education
Witten was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He is the son of Lorraine (Wollach) Witten and Louis Witten, a theoretical physicist specializing in gravitation and general relativity.[3]
Witten attended the 1972 election in a landslide to Richard Nixon.
Witten attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison for one semester as an economics graduate student before dropping out.[4] He returned to academia, enrolling in applied mathematics at Princeton University in 1973, then shifting departments and receiving a Ph.D. in physics in 1976 under David Gross,[4] the 2004 Nobel laureate in Physics. He held a fellowship at Harvard University (1976–77), was a junior fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows (1977–80), and held a MacArthur Foundation fellowship (1982).
Fields medal work
Witten was awarded the Fields Medal by the International Mathematical Union in 1990, becoming the first physicist to win the prize.
In a written address to the ICM, Michael Atiyah said of Witten,[1]
Although he is definitely a physicist (as his list of publications clearly shows) his command of mathematics is rivaled by few mathematicians, and his ability to interpret physical ideas in mathematical form is quite unique. Time and again he has surprised the mathematical community by a brilliant application of physical insight leading to new and deep mathematical theorems... [H]e has made a profound impact on contemporary mathematics. In his hands physics is once again providing a rich source of inspiration and insight in mathematics.quantum field theory to the mathematical subject of low-dimensional topology. In the late 1980s, Witten coined the term topological quantum field theory for a certain type of physical theory in which the expectation values of observable quantities encode information about the topology of spacetime.[5] In particular, Witten realized that a physical theory now called Chern–Simons theory could provide a framework for understanding the mathematical theory of knots and 3-manifolds.[6] Although Witten's work was based on the mathematically ill-defined notion of a Feynman path integral and was therefore not mathematically rigorous, mathematicians were able to systematically develop Witten's ideas, leading to the theory of Reshetikhin–Turaev invariants.[7]
Another result for which Witten was awarded the Fields Medal was his (nonrigorous) proof in 1981 of the positive energy theorem in general relativity.[8] This theorem asserts that (under appropriate assumptions) the total energy of a gravitating system is always positive and can be zero only if the geometry of spacetime is that of flat Minkowski space. It establishes Minkowski space as a stable ground state of the gravitational field. While the original proof of this result due to Richard Schoen and Shing-Tung Yau used variational methods,[9][10] Witten's proof used ideas from supergravity theory to simplify the argument.
A third area mentioned in Atiyah's address is Witten's work relating supersymmetry and Morse theory,[11] a branch of mathematics that studies the topology of manifolds using the concept of a differentiable function. Witten's work gave a physical proof of a classical result, the Morse inequalities, by interpreting the theory in terms of supersymmetric quantum mechanics.
By the mid 1990s, physicists working on string theory had developed five different consistent versions of theory with the right properties to unify Einstein's theory of general relativity with the standard model of particle physics. These versions are known as type I, type IIA, type IIB, and the two flavors of heterotic string theory (SO(32) and E8×E8). The thinking was that out of these five candidate theories, only one was the actual correct theory of everything, and that theory was the one whose low energy limit matched the physics observed in our world today.
Speaking at the string theory conference at University of Southern California in 1995, Witten made the surprising suggestion that these five string theories were in fact not distinct theories, but different limits of a single theory which he called M-theory.[12][13] Witten's proposal was based on the observation that the five string theories can be mapped to one another by certain rules called dualities and are identified by these dualities.
Witten's announcement led to a flurry of work now known as the second superstring revolution.
Other work
Another of his contributions to physics was to the result of gauge/gravity duality. In 1997, Juan Maldacena formulated a result known as the AdS/CFT correspondence, which establishes a relationship between certain quantum field theories and theories of quantum gravity.[14] Maldacena's discovery has dominated high energy theoretical physics for the past 15 years because of its applications to theoretical problems in quantum gravity and quantum field theory. Witten's foundational work following Maldacena's result has shed light on this relationship.[15]
In collaboration with Nathan Seiberg, Witten established several other results. In their paper on string theory and noncommutative geometry, Seiberg and Witten studied certain noncommutative quantum field theories that arise as limits of string theory.[16] In another well known paper, they studied aspects of supersymmetric gauge theory.[17] The latter paper, combined with Witten's earlier work on topological quantum field theory,[5] led to developments in the topology of smooth 4-manifolds, in particular the notion of Seiberg–Witten invariants.
Awards and honors
Witten has been honored with numerous awards including a MacArthur Grant (1982), the Fields Medal (1990), the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics (2000), the National Medal of Science[18] (2002), Pythagoras Award[19] (2005), the Henri Poincaré Prize (2006), the Crafoord Prize (2008), the Lorentz Medal (2010) the Isaac Newton Medal (2010) and the Fundamental Physics Prize (2012). Since 1999, he has been a Foreign Member of the Royal Society (London).[20] Pope Benedict XVI appointed Witten as a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (2006). He also appeared in the list of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people of 2004. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[21]
Personal life
Witten is married to Chiara Nappi, a professor of physics at Princeton University. They have two daughters, Ilana (neuroscientist at Princeton University) and Daniela (biostatistician at University of Washington), and one son, Rafael, and a granddaughter Nava. Edward Witten serves on the board of directors of Americans for Peace Now.
