SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- - A change of conferences isn't going to mean a change of style for Notre Dame.
The Fighting Irish were a consistent contender in the Big East, winning at least 10 league games the past four seasons and advancing to the NCAA tournament each time. Neither coach Mike Brey nor the Fighting Irish players, coming off a 25-10 season, see any reason to make changes heading in to the ACC.
The 21st-ranked Irish begin their season, though, with a home game against Miami of Ohio on Friday night.
''I don't want to reinvent the wheel,'' Brey said. ''Last time I checked we have a style of play here that's been really consistent and really effective in this building. We want to make people adjust to us.''
But the Irish have shown they can adjust as well, playing up tempo at times and at other times slowing it down, or ''burning,'' as Notre Dame likes to call it. Irish players believe they're ready for whatever the ACC brings.
''Teams are going to play at our pace, no matter what. We're still going to play at our speed and dictate the tempo,'' point guard Eric Atkins said. ''Sometimes that's going to be a little bit more fast-paced, but it's what coach Brey wants, and we're going to control that.''
Brey, a former assistant to Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, said he never thought he'd coach Notre Dame in the ACC and the prospect of that has re-energized him in his 14th season as Irish coach.
''Now you're thinking about new styles of play, how's Duke playing, N.C. State, all these guys. I think it's energized our whole coaching staff. We've had more good basketball discussions during the summer than just recruiting because we're preparing a new way,'' he said.
The Irish have two veteran guards in Atkins and Jerian Grant, who should help them with their new surroundings in the ACC. Atkins is a senior who had an assist-to-turnover ratio last season of 2.61, which was 17th in the nation, and he averaged 11.2 points. Grant led the Irish in scoring last season at 13.3 points a game, but has been inconsistent. He can score in a hurry, though, as he showed against Louisville, when he had 12 points in 47 seconds against the eventual national champions.
Brey wants Pat Connaughton, who at 6-foot-5 can play guard and forward, to take more shots from outside but also help out on the boards. Oh, and he will likely wind up guarding the opponent's best player again this season.
The thing the Irish will be missing as they head into the ACC will be a dominant big man. After depending on Luke Harangody and Jack Cooley in recent years, the Irish will be relying on three players at forward who have primarily been role players: Garrick Sherman (7 points, 3.4 rebounds a game), Tom Knight (5.5 points, 3.5 rebounds) and Zach Auguste (3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds). The biggest challenge will be replacing Cooley's 10.1 rebounds per game.
The Notre Dame coach has a style of making his players feel at ease and giving them confidence when they most need it. Whether it's laughing with a player after he throws up an air ball on a free throw, yelling at him to ''bank it'' on the next one, or jumping up and down and exhorting his team in a five-overtime victory over Louisville, Brey has a knack for knowing which buttons to push to get his team going.
Notre Dame has two wins in its last six NCAA tournament appearances, including an embarrassing 76-58 loss to Iowa State last year. Brey doesn't believe there will be any hangover effect from that, saying players have short memories. For his part, Brey said he's been too ''distracted and engaged'' on moving into the ACC to worry about NCAA failures. He said the focus is making sure the Irish earn a fifth straight tournament berth.
That quest begins against a Miami of Ohio team coming off a dreadful 9-22 season, including a last-place finish in the Mid-American East division.
Senior forward Will Felder was named to the preseason all-conference team and is the RedHawks' top returning scorer and rebounder, having averaged 11.6 points and 5.6 boards last season.
The Irish and RedHawks have split eight all-time meetings, with the last being Notre Dame's 70-69 win Dec. 8, 2001. That's the same season in which Miami of Ohio last beat a ranked opponent, having since lost 22 straight to Top 25 teams.

Lost, stolen, inaccessible, damaged or found passports
A Canadian passport is a valuable document that should be kept in a safe place at all times.
Once a passport has been reported lost or stolen, it is no longer valid and cannot be used for travel.
This is to ensure that it is not used for fraudulent purposes. The Government of Canada or any representative of the Government of Canada cannot be held responsible for any difficulties you may encounter at border crossings if you attempt to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
You must take care of your passport. If you have had multiple passports that have been damaged or reported lost or stolen, you may face some restrictions when applying for a new passport.
What to do if your passport is lost or stolen
In Canada
Call the Passport Program at 1-800-567-6868 to report the circumstances of the loss or theft.
Outside Canada
Report the loss or theft to the nearest Government of Canada office abroad.
Replacing a lost or stolen passport
A replacement passport may be authorized if all requirements are met. These include the submission of:
- A completed application form, signed by the guarantor:
- Two identical passport photos, one of which is signed by the guarantor;
- An accepted proof of Canadian citizenship; and
- A document to support your identity;
- The appropriate fee (passport fee + replacement fee); and
- A complete Declaration concerning a lost, stolen, inaccessible, damaged or found Canadian travel document.
Canadians living in Canada or the United States can request a replacement passport in person at any passport office or submit an application by mail or courier.
Canadians abroad (outside of Canada and the United States) can apply at the nearest Government of Canada office abroad.
Before the passport can be replaced, Canadian authorities will conduct an investigation into the circumstances of the loss or theft. This may lead to delays in processing the replacement passport.
What to do if you find a passport
If you find a passport, including your own passport that you previously reported as lost or stolen, it must be returned to the Passport Program with a letter that describes how, when and where you found it. Once a passport has been reported lost or stolen, it is no longer valid and cannot be used for travel.
In Canada
Please return the found passport with a letter any of the following ways:
- In person at a passport office. (Canada Post offices and Service Canada Centres cannot accept found passports.)
- In person at your local Police Service or Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) station.
- By registered mail or courier to:
Passport Program Integrity Branch, 3rd floor
Gatineau, QC K1A 1L1
Outside Canada
Please return the found passport with a letter to the nearest Government of Canada office abroad.
Damaged passports
You should apply for a new passport if your current passport is damaged. If you travel with a damaged passport, you could face delays or be denied entry at border crossings, or on flights.
A passport is considered damaged if it:
- impedes the identification of the holder;
- appears to have been altered or falsified; or
- could potentially cause problems or has been denied by an airline or at a point of entry due to perceived damage.
Examples of damage to a passport:
- has been exposed to water or humidity
- has a tear in one or more pages
- contains unauthorized markings
- the information and/or photo have been altered or made less identifiable
- pages have been removed or torn out
- the cover and inside pages have come apart
- has been chewed by a child or pet
- other forms of damage that are not listed here
Ultimately, border authorities may allow or refuse entry or exit for any reason, including the condition of a passport. An airline may also prevent a passenger from boarding a plane based on the condition of a passport (airline officials have knowledge of the entry requirements of international destinations).
If you are concerned about the condition of your passport, you should contact the airline prior to departure or you may visit a passport office to have it examined. When replacing a damaged passport, a general application must be used. Renewals are not accepted.
Inaccessible passport
If your current passport is inaccessible please contact us.
Seized or surrendered passport
Travel documents that have been seized by law enforcement authorities or ordered surrendered by a court of law are usually returned to the Passport Program where they are kept until they expire at which time they are destroyed.
Should you wish to have a passport returned to you prior to expiry, submit a request to the the Passport Program Security Bureau by mail or fax. Please provide the following documentation so that a passport entitlement review can be initiated:
- Your full name and date of birth;
- Your current mailing address and phone number;
- An explanation of how and why the passport was removed from your custody; and
- If applicable, a copy of your most current court documents that pertain to your release conditions.
Please send the above document(s) to:
Passport Program Integrity Branch, 3rd floor
Gatineau, QC K1A 1L1
You may also fax the document(s) to 819-953-5856, to the attention of: Passport Program Integrity Branch. Queries regarding this process can be directed to the same address or fax number.
Take care of your passport
You must take care of your passport. If you have had multiple passports reported lost, stolen, or that have been damaged, you may face some restrictions when applying for a new passport. For example, you may be asked to provide proof of travel before a new passport is issued, or the Passport Program may place limitations on the passport's validity. If you have a long history of lost, stolen or damaged passports, you may be refused a passport.
Maintaining the reputation of the Canadian passport requires constant vigilance. As a passport holder you must play your part by taking care of this important travel document.
From a security perspective, there is no difference between lost and stolen passports. In both cases, the passport's whereabouts are unknown, and the document could be used for fraudulent purposes.
In both cases, the Passport Program will:
- Confirm your identity (identification may be requested) because only the passport holder (or legal parent or guardian for a child) may declare a passport lost or stolen.
- Ask questions about the circumstances of the loss or theft.
- Cancel the passport within its internal system.
- Inform law enforcement and border agencies so the passport cannot be used for travel.

*edit. i just found out something. if i buy things as a package. i still have to put it together... and i assume that costs as well.
well if you try on the boots and they fit right, just order them online
get 08 boots and bindings. That should cut quite a bit off the price.
Usually not much changes beyond the design and a few minor tweaks. And if there's a huge change, you're probably better off waiting until the reviews on it come in unless if you've got a bunch of cash to spend so you can play with the newest gimmick.
Considering you can find last year's stuff at around 50% off, its more than worth it. New stuff's for rich kids.

Where are the menu, command, and status bars located in IE 11 with windows 8.1?
IE 11, like the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox has moved the functions from the command, status and menu bars over to a menu button. If you are using the desktop version of IE 11 , select the gear in the upper-right corner.
You'll see the full list of menu options. Selecting an option with an arrow next it will also give you a drop-down menu with more options.
If you are using the Metro or App version, select the icon that look like a wrench at the bottom right of the page.
Just tap or click on the wrench…
and you'll see a menu of options.
As I said before, it's not just Internet Explorer with a design change. All of the major browsers are moving options out of site onto a menu button. Part of it is that a cleaner look is favored now and also because the developers want their browser to work the same across all devices. They need to come up with a menu system that works on the monitor for a PC, but also with a small screen on a smartphone.
This same design is also found on IE 11 on a Windows 7 system as well.

"I love how easy it is to personalize these and they are the perfect size for me! Just large enough for a short 'n sweet note to show my gratitude."
"These thank yous are just adorable. I actually bought a different design than I had for the shower invites (same "jungle" theme) because these were just a cuter card than what matched my invites. I love them, they're cheerful and neutral (great for those of us who aren't figuring out boy or girl!). Cards are a good weight and the process was nice and easy."
"This matches the chalkboard buggy baby invitations perfectly. It is so simple, yet chic. I love these; the paper is a nice thick quality. I got these for the mother to be, so she would have matching thank you cards after the shower."
"I chose this thank you note to coordinate with the Twinkle, Twinkle little star baby shower invitation that we ordered for my daughter's baby shower. Like the invitation, the card is not quite as glittery as I might have wanted even with the pearlized paper, but the website already tells you that so there is no real surprise there, and the paper quality is outstanding! I did find it better to choose white ink for printing the personalization, which is an offered option, so that made it a little brighter. Overall, I just loved the design and am really pleased with the quality of this product as well as the customer service offered by this company."
"I bought the thank you cards to give to the expectant mother so she would not have to go to the trouble of finding her own. She loved them and they are an excellent quality paper that match the invitations perfectly."

Scroll down to view all or sort by individual categories shown here:
At crown-molding.com we offer thousands of crown molding profiles ranging from 1" to 20" in height and from 8' to 16' lengths.
The most economical crown moldings are part of our 8' program as they are relatively inexpensive to ship. However, an 8' crown molding will
have two times as many seams to patch as a 12' contractor length molding. In essence, the money that you save on shipping our smaller lengths,
will be spent on more time and effort in insuring a seamless transition from one crown to the next. We have discounted heavily several contractor length profiles so
look for the sale sign underneath them. We do sell inside and outside corners for several of our crown moulding; however, we do not recommend using them. A corner creates two seams whereas a proper miter
produces virtually none. Buy our crown molding to adorn any room or to use for exterior applications. Our polyurethane crown molding looks and feels like wood but costs less and will not rot, crack, or split. We have
thousands of profiles to choose from, most will ship the next day, and we guarantee the lowest prices on all of our crown molding products.
We also offer a no nail crown molding option but the product is only offered with, more or less, simplistic profiles and still requires a
decent amount work to install. There are many alternatives to installing crown molding the traditional way but we believe the old way
using modern materials is the proper way. Mitering is the way to go!

E.G. Daily is one of Hollywood's most recognisable ladies, not only for her looks but for her unmistakable voice. She recently appeared on Zone Horror in the movies Mustang Sally's Horror House and Bad Dreams. We thought it was time to catch up with this multi talented actress to find out how she started in the business and what plans she has for the future.
ZH: How did you get started in the entertainment industry?
EG DAILY: Had an agent when I was 8, .didn't know what I was doing for a long time. Learned on the way, started booking jobs around 15.

EG DAILY: Hmmm not sure, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains, Escape Artist then onto Street Music. I can't remember the order I did a lot of films right out of High School?

EG DAILY: Always amazing. Every set, every director, every co star, and every location they were all amazing. Learned so much.
ZH: One of the first movies that we here in the UK got to see you in was Bad Dreams (now showing on Zone Horror). Can you remember much about the shoot?
EG DAILY: Loved the director, I remember loving playing that kind of crazy. Also having to shoot at night in a slimy lake ewwwww...

EG DAILY: Sometimes, not my favourite. Love being in them the most.

Sprint announced the beloved news that many handset owners have been waiting for, which is none other than the fact that the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the handset is being rolled out. However, they're releasing it in droves over the course of the next 10 days – so don't be alarmed if you don't see that notification today.
As always, the new software update features the usual suspect of enhancements that tend to come with major updates, a refreshed user interface, the addition of a new multi-touch keyboard, dedicated power management app, task killer app, and an updated camera app. In addition, it addresses a couple of annoying problems relating to the phone's volume control and 3-way calling.
Of course, it was a long time in the making, but nevertheless, LG Optimus S owners have plenty to look forward to as they're finally getting the Gingerbread treatment.

Having partially sunk more than one jetski (
), then pulling it to shore and reviving it, if you can get the water out within a short period of time you are OK. Too bad it isn't as easy in a car. It is a tedious procedure of pulling the plugs, running the starter to push the water out, putting a couple of plugs back in to run the engine with lots of Starter Fluid and leaving a plug out to spit more water should it manage to start. If it doesn't go, repeat process first step. Sometimes a bunch of times. Eventually the engine starts, of course it mis-fires like crazy with a plug out and runs rough, but gouts of water push out. Along with gas...when it can run with a couple of plugs you put everything back in, with lots of Starter Fluid, then get it running. It runs like crap for 5-10 minutes then slowly gets the residual water out. Then engine is fine! I have done this twice in salt water and twice in fresh water.
I can only imagine what would happen if this were tried in the 6 with all the controls and sensors!

Stern Advice: How to haggle for that college money
By Linda Stern
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Over the next week, most colleges will give high school seniors the good news -- who got in where -- and the bad news -- how much it will cost.
Then it will be crunch time for a full month, as parents try to make the numbers work so their kids can give colleges their final answers by May 1.
Parents will check bank balances and sofa cushions for the cash to make it happen. Financial aid officers will steel themselves for the calls they know are coming, as parents appeal for bigger and better awards. "This is the month of negotiating," says Bob Ilukowicz, a financial aid consultant in Smithtown, New York.
There certainly is aid out there. Ilukowicz says he is seeing his clients get fatter offers for the 2012-2013 school year than he saw in recent years. The College Board estimates that the average private nonprofit four-year college charges $38,590 for tuition, fees, room and board in the 2011-2012 school year, but that grants and federal tax breaks (which it now counts as "aid") shave about $15,530 off that.
Almost 80 percent of full-time undergraduates get some kind of aid, according to the U.S. Department of Education, and roughly 64 percent get the good kind -- grants that don't have to be paid back.
But burdensome student loans still make up about half of all financial aid, and with tuition alone over $40,000 at more than 100 pricey schools("obscene," says Ilukowicz), how much aid is ever enough? And how can you get it? Here are a few strategies for "haggle month," and beyond.
Ask for more. Roughly two-thirds of parents who appeal their Amherst College aid awards get more money, admits Joe Paul Case, the school's financial aid administrator. And Amherst is a school that doesn't offer merit aid or meet competitive offers just to win over a student; Case runs a strictly needs-based aid office. At schools that have discretionary funds to offer merit aid and meet competition, the rewards for asking for an upgraded offer are even better.
Cry and share. Amherst and other need-based schools will take family issues that don't appear on financial aid forms into consideration. "If you are spending money to help grandma in the nursing home, tell us more about it," says Case. Other situations that can get you more aid include non-custodial parents who won't help pay for college, parents who have good jobs now but still haven't recovered from a year or two of recent unemployment and costly health problems.

This ingeniously breaks the game into several layers. On one level, you're McNamara, and by wandering around the asylum and using the tools at hand you can push the patients into talking to you. You can also get a certain amount of help from the (suspiciously) unhelpful staff and the detective in charge of the case. Having prompted a recollection, you then find yourself in the shoes of that character, effectively retreading the path they took during the period before they lost their memory. Solving puzzles in the flashback sequences then gives McNamara information he needs to prompt another sequence, either with that patient or with another. And so it goes.
Here's where things get reasonably clever. McNamara has a PDA, which he uses to record his patient interviews. Having recorded an interview with one patient, he can then play it back to another. This becomes important, because it's soon apparent that all five patients were together in some kind of abandoned army depot. Only by using one patient's memories to trigger another's can McNamara get to grips with what happened there. Meanwhile, our shrink protagonist has his own enigmas for us to deal with. Why does his wife want a divorce? What happened to him in the army? What is the accident that nobody will talk about? What's really going on at the asylum?
Sounds good? Well, it should be, but the reality is rather different. Sadly, at least some of my negativity towards the finished product comes down to poor production values. I know we shouldn't judge adventure games by the same visual standards we might judge, say, Bioshock or Gears of War but - golly - Overclocked looks rough. The cut-scenes would have just about looked acceptable four years ago, but not now, the environments are dull and the in-game character models are primitive by today's benchmarks. Worst of all for a game that relies heavily on close-ups and dialogue to tell its story, the faces are rigid and inexpressive. Combine eyes that don't move with poor facial modelling and some rather bland voicework, and the scenes rarely have the impact that they should. In fact, certain sequences are more likely to provoke titters than the shocked gasps that they should. Imagine a Hitchcock thriller remade with Thunderbirds puppets and you might get some idea of what I mean.

Hey guys excited to be a part of envato. I had a very quick question about the affiliate links.
If I am sending my readers to a theme page. For example: http://themeforest.net/item/redux-business-portfolio-wordpress-theme/162553?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=OrmanClarkWould I just add my affiliate link at the end of this? http://themeforest.net/item/redux-business-portfolio-wordpress-theme/162553?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=OrmanClark?ref=username
Just want to be sure I get this right before I start blogging about certain themes.
Thanks for the feedback.
Because the URL already has a question mark in it, you cannot use it again, because it has no effect. The query is there, you just need to add another parameter (the ref username). It would look like this:
Or, strip out the query string and just apply your own to keep things a bit cleanerhttp://themeforest.net/item/redux-business-portfolio-wordpress-theme/162553?ref=username
@RubenBristian, @sevenspark,
Thank you both for these options. That makes perfect sense on both. I am all clear now and ready to make some Affiliate cash. lol.
Thanks again.
so if I am sending my readers to a category it would just behttp://themeforest.net/category/wordpress?ref=username

As a Ducati fan I am fairly curious what Cal Crutchlow could do on the bike. I know for a fact that he has a place in the MotoGP paddock but going through the unconventional route of MotoGP stardom via WSBK is quite surprising. I am a firm believer that Tom has a place in MotoGP as well, and will be rooting for him and Kawasaki to win the WSBK this year. Here's hoping a championship for Tom!

WATERBURY, VT -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. announced a price increase on all K-Cup portion packs for its Keurig single-cup brewing system sold in North America. The price hike takes effect across all sales channels Oct.11. Green Mountain said consumers can expect to see a purchase price increase of approximately 10% to 15% over the next several months as a result.
Officials cited a sustained increase in the price of green coffee, differentials for premium quality coffees, increases in prices of other raw materials and higher packaging and transportation costs as reasons for raising its prices.
Over the past three months, green coffee prices have increased from $1.45 a pound to $1.90, a rise of approximately 31%. In August, J.M. Smucker Co. raised prices of most of its Folgers, Dunkin' Donuts and Millstone coffees in the U.S. by an average of 9%, citing higher green coffee prices. Kraft Foods followed with price hikes on select Maxwell House and Yuban ground and instant coffees.

Raleigh, N.C.-based design/build firm Tonic Design | Tonic Construction has developed a flat-fee service for its clients to help them understand the process and realities of building a home before they commit to moving forward with construction. The service, dubbed Tonic Express, helps clients determine the scope and financial feasibility of their home building project, for a fee of $3,000.
"Our goal is to get more people to use architects and not spend their cash out-of-pocket until they [secure] a loan with a bank," says Vincent Petrarca, partner and general contractor at Tonic. "Ninety-eight percent of the public doesn't use architects—I think it's just because it's so costly. What we did was streamline the process, so that people can have more options for using architects."
Tonic Express clients meet with the firm's design team to establish their project's program and budget and to explore potential variables. They walk away with a summary of their home building project, potential floor plans, and an estimate based on Tonic's experience with materials and labor costs. "The client can then either wait to move forward [with the project], go ahead immediately, or decide not to move forward at all," Petrarca explains.
According to Petrarca, the feasibility service benefits both the client and the design/build firm. Clients find out at the beginning stages of their projects what they can expect to invest to build their dream homes, and once the project moves forward, the knowledge and ideas generated in the Tonic Express phase help expedite the design process. What's more, the Tonic Express fee can be charged on a credit card and later applied to the design fee, which then can be rolled into the construction loan, saving the client money. With the right credit card, he notes, clients could even choose to charge the design and construction, earning points or rewards, rather than taking out a construction loan. Such an approach also benefits Tonic, because it results in more frequent payments from clients, which can be used to pay subcontractors on or ahead of schedule.
Clients may opt for the more traditional design process, but for those looking to determine the overall feasibility of their projects, the Tonic Express service could be a viable, possibly more affordable, option. "I think it's possible to turn a set of drawings and a budget around in two or three months," Petrarca contends, "and spread that architecture fee over 30 years."

A Trip to the Moon (1902)
Plot Summary
A group of men travel to the moon by being shot in a capsule from a giant cannon. They are captured by moon-men, escape, and return to the earth.- Written by John Oswalt <firstname.lastname@example.com>
An association of astronomers has convened to listen to the plan of Professor Barbenfouillis, their president, to fly to the moon. With the one dissenting voice quashed by Barbenfouillis and the other members, the plan is approved with Barbenfouillis choosing five others to accompany him. Most of the preparation for the trip is in building the vessel and launching mechanism, which resemble a large bullet and a large gun respectively. Hitting the moon in the eye, the six land safely at their destination. They find that much about the moon is wonderful and fantastical, but also that much is not what they would have liked to encounter as it is life threatening. They have to find a way to get out of their alien predicament to get back home safely.- Written by Huggo
This early silent film by master artist and film pioneer Georges Melies is considered a classic by many film buffs. Although it runs for only 14 minutes this whimsical fantasy really focuses on an astronomers dream.- Written by Debbie Twyman <email@example.com>
A group of astronomers studies the way to travel to the moon. When they conclude their project, the president selects five other astronomers to travel with him. They embark in a shell and they are shot from a giant cannon to the moon. When they land, they seek shelter in a cave to protect from the snow. They meet the Selenites, the alien inhabitants of the moon, and they are destroyed by the astronomers that find that a strong hit make them explode. However, they arrive in large number and the astronomers are captured by the Selenites. But one astronomer hits their king that explodes and they run to the capsule pursued by the alien.

Angelina Jolie Beach Pictures
More pictures of then-pregnant Angelina Jolie and son Maddox walking one of the sandy beaches in Namibia with Brad's brother, Doug Pitt (as captioned in Star Magazine). MIA were Brad Pitt and baby Zahara. And if you didn't know, Angelina had her legal team secure the following internet domain names soon after baby Shiloh was born last Saturday –
And it would seem that Shiloh-Jolie.com and Shiloh-Pitt.com were snatched up by some other folk. Wonder what'll turn up on those sites soon enough… And some early reviews of Angelina in her upcoming espionage drama The Good Shepherd (Release Date :: December 22, 2006) have turned up on AICN thanks to Frenchy!
Angelina Jolie and William Hurt are pretty much the next two leads – with Hurt doing what Hurt does (all I can say) and Jolie proving once again that she is full of surprises. She's flirty in this, cynical — and even naive which I don't think is something we've seen in her arsenal before. I never think of Jolie as wounded or vulnerable and I think this performance will show people just how big her range is. Its a part that gets to build througout and then e-x-p-l-o-d-e. AGAIN – JOLIE'S NEXT OSCAR NOD.
UPDATE :: "All About Baby!" US Weekly scans added.

I think cadillac still thinks chrome is good. While most sport models offer black trim(like bmw) In Cadillacs case the chrome is considered an upgrade. On a sporty model I think most buyers would prefer the black trim over chrome. At least I did.Quote:

Black-out is bland and overdone. Tasteful chrome or polished aluminum is much more aggressive and beautiful. Black wheels look brown when they are dirty. Thankfully, we have a choice.
That is the problem. We don't have a choice. I wish they would offer black trim on luxury or performance model. Different strokes for different folks.Quote:

I like the look of the ATS especially compared to the CTS. I think the CTS is overdone all around including that huge front grill. The ATS keeps the overall look of the CTS yet is a bit toned down and is a look I prefere. As far as the chrome goes I guess it depends on what color ATS you have. Mine is Black Raven and the chrome accents look great with that color and I don't need anymore black. When I first saw the ATS in person I thought it might be a bit understated but in the premium trim with the premium wheels and lights the car looks awesome all shined up and really stands out in a crowd of parked cars.
In '03, the CTS made a styling statement. Many didn't like it, but more did, and it grew on some of those who didn't like it initially. I just don't see the ATS having that kind of impact. Understated? Yes. I'm saving my pennies for the ATS-V, BUT if I don't like it, I'll just keep my old '05 CTS-V.
I'm debating myself whether to unload my CTS-V and jump into the new ATS-V when they hit the streets.....
Bottomline: The wife is prego....so the '08 Zo6 Vette I was looking at is off the table....and I deploy next month....so I'm in the market Nov '13!
I'm sorry that I'm just seeing this thread for the first time today! I'll be documenting everyone's feedback regarding the ATS design where the appropriate GM teams can access it, and please don't hesitate to contact me if any of you would like me to look questions further for you. (I'm reachable via email at firstname.lastname@example.com!)
Cadillac Customer Service
The whole point is, the V Series needs to be distinctive and have a visual presence that turns heads. It's a big part of why we'd buy it. Under the skin, the current ATS platform is a great start, but just adding a mesh grill and fatter tires will not sufficiently meet enthusiasts' expectations. Maybe taking a page or two out of the C7's apparent success with prospective buyers is in order.
Thanks, again, Katie.

One of these was with an application provider who has a very strong business in the telco industry. Their primary delivery model is on premise, but the private cloud portion of their business is at 15% of revenue this year and expected to grow to 40% over the next three years. In the course of talking about how the business will transition to the cloud, the CTO shared an interesting observation: cloud computing creates a desire for a menu of applications.

To explain further, in a traditional IT environment, a customer establishes a requirement for a certain capability. They form a team to define objectives and requirements, establish a budget, issue an RFP, and select a provider for the application. The key to this process is the budget. With traditional computing, there are only enough resources for a fixed solution, both from the perspective of capital expenditures and the people required for deployment. But when a businesses decides to acquire their application capabilities as a service, they are moving to an operational expense model, which frees them from having to associate new functionality with the cost of operations. This, in turns, gives the business the flexibility to consider complementary functions that can be rolled into the new service.

So, the CTO tells us, when a prospect engages with his company to evaluate a specific application, if the delivery model is private cloud, the customer invariably asks about additional capabilities and applications. This is not only an opportunity for the partner in question, it's an opportunity for the larger ecosystem.

This CTO has succinctly expressed something that we hear in a variety of ways from all of our partners: cloud computing implicitly increases demand for application capabilities. An obvious case in point is the plethora of applications on Facebook. When users don't have to install and maintain the applications themselves, they are more willing to install not just one or two, but numerous complementary functions. Of course, anyone who runs a data center would probably say Facebook makes it too easy, but that aspect can be controlled through policy and technology.

More importantly, the increased appetite for a menu of capabilities isn't met by merely providing a nifty catalog of applications. Application providers will meet their customer's needs by participating in a well-structured ecosystem of partners. Catalogs are merely an interface, the real benefit of complementary applications comes from an understanding of how applications fit together, as well as where and when a given partnership makes the most sense. And that requires a partner who can coordinate these relationships without unnecessary interference. Fostering an ecosystem in this way is exactly what IBM is doing with the Cloud Specialty.

With the partners in our program, we are helping them grow marketshare by connecting them to each other. The process is fairly manual for now, but look for tools coming later this year that will help automate some aspects of the program. But complete automation is not the goal, we are not trying to build an online matchmaking service for partners. We intend to provide the worldwide, cross industry market perspective that helps partners make sense of the opportunities they see.

Every partner that we're meeting with this week is on the cloud journey and has exciting plans for how cloud is expanding their marketshare and growing revenue. And in every case, IBM has a role to play in bringing our ecosystem to bear in building our mutual success. We look forward to growing our business with our partners. This week I'm in Bangalore attending several partner meetings. One of these was with an application provider who has a very strong business in the telco industry.

I wanted to write about the importance of the IBM TRIRIGA 10.3 Porfolio Self-Paced Virtual Class because when I was able to complete this Training I finally got to know more about the IBM TRIRIGA product. It is even safe to say that this would be my ABC's when using the IBM TRIRIGA product.... [More]

Object Attachment Upload Issue

This is a beautiful example of an Australian Aboriginal Tiwi throwing club. The Tiwi are located on Bathurst and Melville Island just off the north coast of Darwin. The throwing stick or club is considered by some a precursor to the boomerang, which was not used in all parts of the continent. It was used in warfare and in hunting and was hurled with considerable force. It is capable of breaking limbs. A stick that turned over and over in flight created a wider path of destruction and was more likely to strike a man or animal than a spear. The Tiwi clubs or short hard wood weapons used for ceremonial purposes as well as being able to be thrown with great accuracy up to 20 yards. This example was collected circa 1960's it is beautifully fluted and painted with a very simple but striking design Length 17 inches Width 1.5 inches Length 44 cm Width 3 cm

text: medical research Bill Would Tack One Dollar on to Many Traffic Fines By Marianne Russ • Aug 23, 2012 Joe Moore / Valley Public Radio A bill that would increase many traffic fines to pay for spinal cord research has passed the California Senate. It also has an unusual mix of supporters. The legislation would add a one dollar fee to all moving violations. The estimated $3.5 million a year raised would go to fund spinal cord injury research at the University of California. The floor debate was unusual because some Republicans supported the new fee, while some Democrats opposed it.

All nine students and two adults injured Wednesday in a collision between a car and a McCracken County school bus were treated and released by mid-afternoon.
Emergency responders were called to U.S. 62/Blandville Road and Ky. 286 at 7:40 a.m., according to Sheriff's Deputy Dwayne Pickett. He said a Ford Mustang driven by Joshua White, 22, of La Center hydroplaned, crossed the center line and drove into the path of the bus. Following the collision, the bus ran off the right shoulder into a ditch.
Pickett said rain and water on the road were factors but that speed was not a factor. He said the investigation was complete and no criminal charges were anticipated.
Nine children, ages 6 to 10, were on the bus, destined for Heath Elementary School on Metropolis Lake Road. Seven were taken to Lourdes hospital or Baptist Health Paducah with minor injuries, and two were released to parents at the scene.
David Simmons, director of communications and marketing at Lourdes hospital, said five people were brought to Lourdes for treatment of injuries with conditions ranging from stable to fair. Angie Kinsey, communication coordinator at Baptist Health Paducah, said the remaining patients were brought to Baptist. All students were treated and released before noon.
White and bus driver Mary Emerson, 31, of McCracken County were taken to Lourdes or Baptist. They were treated and released early Wednesday afternoon.
Teresa Buzanis, district coordinator of transportation, said the bus, which is typically route 217 but Wednesday was a substitute bus numbered 180, was picking up 30 to 34 Heath Elementary School students.
She said following any wreck the driver will first check students for any visible injuries.
"The driver's first responsibility is to the students and to make sure they are unharmed," she said.
In this case, the bus driver didn't see any injuries but asked for emergency services for the driver of the other vehicle. Many of the students were taken to the hospital as a precaution because of their age. The school notified parents through the On-Call mass calling system, then spoke to individual parents of students who were involved, she said.
County school officials generally go to the scene of wreck. Heath Elementary School Principal Tim Adams did so Wednesday, according to Buzanis.
She said three or four buses that were nearby picked up the remaining children after completing their routes and the school day started about 15 minutes late. The district completes 54 routes daily, including preschool and special education.
Blandville Road remained closed to traffic for two hours.

I'd be careful going up in the mountains in CO with all seasons. They'll work fine in the flatlands of the Denver area, but in the mountains they're not going to cut it!

The first day I started my pizza delivery job we had a crazy snow storm and my all seasons were excellent. You get a bit more stopping force with snow tires but I've gotten around that with downshifting to slow me down.
Off topic, but I figured here was a good a place as any. I'm thinking of going stage 1 with RomRaider or AP or the like. I read that whole thread that got a little snarky (What wont void Warranty? Accesport Stage 1?) and a number of others on NASIOC and here. Bottom line, I understand that although a stage 1 tune is potentially safer for my car than stock, I could still be denied warranty claims. Does anyone know of a tuner-friendly dealership around here? I'm near Denver and I would much rather admit to having a stage 1 tuned car (otherwise stock) when dealing with warranty issues than play the whole "does my ECU have a counter and can I trick the dealership" game. Therefore, I just want to know what people's experiences are with Denver area dealers and warranty claims on (lightly) tuned vehicles. Just trying to understand my risk-profile so I can make an educated decision on whether to wait another 59332 miles before modding my car in any (mechanical, electrical) way.

One piece windows/56chevy p'up
Hi everyone, hope this is the right section for window help My youngest son has a '56 chevy pickup with 350/350. We have built this from the ground up with a camaro front end clip/pwr steering and blazer bucketseats. He loves this truck, but is ready to sell it over one thing: the one piece windows we put in from "Brothers". It was an expensive item. I installed them, but have had some problems. It does eliminate the vent windows and the old window frames, replaces as said with a 1 piece window. Well, in eliminating the old frames there is a problem. The sash (part that holds the actual window glass) will not stay on the scissors, when rolled up and down. If I do it very slowly, it is okay. But being a 17 yr old, he rips up and down, so it comes off. I need to devise a way to make the sash part stay on the scissors. (Have I totally lost you yet ) there is very little room to get into this area, but I am thinking of stinking my mig welding tip in there and just putting a small bead on each end (if I can reach it at all) to keep the rollers from slipping out of the end of the sash. But, this will make this more or less permanent and could be a problem if ever needed to be disassembled! I was hoping that someone would have some experience with this or a "better" idea... I must confess I have a 66 mustang/302/3 speed and it is much easier to fix stuff like this because the area to access is opened up much more! Anyway, thanks for the ideas/help
PS: He went out and found this truck all on his own at 14 yrs old and purchased it with his own hard earned money and has paid for every cent (about 12K at this point although the truck was only $1500 with no motor or tranny) so it's come a long way baby in 3 yrs...and a lot of grass cutting and working as a busboy to get it done the old fashioned way! His truck: http://www.freewebs.com/gwstang/56truckpics.htm
my 66 Mustang: http://www.freewebs.com/gwstang/
i can understand the sash that the glass sits in but can you explain more how this sash is attached to the scissors? is there a coupld pads or something that it sits on? maybe if i knew more what it looked like i could suggest something.
"Well done is better than well said." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
One ot the problems with a 1 piece window in any old car is the "balance" of the window is messed up when 2 bosses on the scissors travels through the horizontal float bar.
The old set up has the centering balance driving the weight of the window glass to the front and rear vertical track in an equalized fashion. Now that the front vertical is moved farther forward (how much depends on the vent window size) the rear boss and front boss on the scissors have much more pressure on the horizontal rail and it want to wander more.
Most of the time guys go right to power windows and center the track and the problem goes away. The power track fix is as low as 145 bucks, depending on the track you use.
The alternative may be a little more trial and error. Usually there is an anti rattle spring and washer on the scissor arms that hold the bosses tight in track. maybe an extra washer would help. As the horizontal track attached to the window glass has contour in it that is supposed to permit the boss only to move in a for aft direction and only allow the bosses to pop out then the spring is compressed beyond the farthest bottom position (into a install removal position). Depending on where the bosses pop out (anywhere or when in the full down position) adding a downward stop at the front and rear vertical track guide could help. or putting a little weld on the bosses of the scissor to thicken up the contour interference with the horizontal so it wont pop out mid travel.
I think a stop screw added to the rear of the vertical track (a stainless pan head drilled in from the outside of the door frame, about an 6 or 7mm, with a peice of rubber on the inside) a couple peices of hose inside hose to build up the diameter and prevent window break on bumps is needed and an undersized washer and an anti-loosening acorn nut on the inside does a pretty good job. This way it can be removed if you want to take the glass out and will remind him to stop before over cranking it to the removal position. I would recommend front and rear be done, but if the rear only can be done as access to front may be a problem. Back only would help.

Thanks for reply
Hey Johnnymopar and creativeinteriors. I think the good fellow above (creativeinteriors) did a much better job of explaining the dynamics of how it was and now how it is, better than I could. He's right, the window basically will just run right off the rollers, because the sash bar that rides on the rollers has no "stop" at this point. I did add a small screw in the rear to maybe stop it from rolling right off. Thanks for the great idea (creativeinteriors) for the electric window tracks. I have notice before that they have a one track system that just goes straight up and straight down on it. I may have to resort to this for a permanent solution. Thanks to all that replied...gary.

Updated 6:00 p.m. ET
A federal appeals court says it will rule by early next week on the Obama's administration bid to reinstate a six-month moratorium on deepwater oil drilling that was blocked last month by a federal judge.
A three-judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans heard arguments Thurday from lawyers on both sides of a lawsuit filed by companies that oppose Obama's temporary drilling ban, reports the Associated Press.
The Interior Department said it suspended drilling below 500 feet while studying its risks to avoid another Gulf of Mexico disaster, akin to the BP spill begun April 20 that has become the worst in U.S. history.
The Justice Department is asking the 5th circuit court to keep the moratorium in place while it appeals U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman's June decision to block the moratorium.
In a 22-page order, Feldman said the administration acted "arbitrarily" and "capriciously" and failed to consider the economic impact its suspension would have on the industry and local economy.

I really enjoyed the thinking about products and designs. I found myself wishing I could ask a few questions!

GLFWDA, my personal view of the changes
I was recently asked to explain some of the changes GLFWDA has undergone to position the organization as Michigan's 4x4 access advocate.
Here's what I came up with "off the top of my head" :
1) New Bylaws - Direct the Organization to defend and advance Michigan trail riding opportunities.
2) New Membership Structure - Individual membership and voting rights, no longer Club-based/ controlled.
3) New Land Use Committee - To organize, prioritize, and take action on the various issues facing Michigan's 4x4 community. Formed only 6 months ago, the GLFWDA LUC has already begun the expansion of GLFWDA's efforts to include the National Forests and County Road Commissions, in addition to their involvement with the DNR. Participating in 25% Trails Expansion Project with MDNR and MMRC, assisting with the formation of Michigan's first NFS 4x4 Route, and a LONG list of other new opportunities that simply didn't exist 2-3 years ago.
4) New Board Of Directors - ALL newer members who are extremely interested in making GLFWDA the strong Association Michigan needs to truly become a political force for the improvement of wheeling opportunities in our State.
5) A New Voice - GLFWDA's Land Use Representatives are working to collaborate with Decision Makers in all jurisdictions to achieve user satisfaction in the system.
6) GLFWDA's ORV Route Maintenance has been opened up for Member adoption. This is a great way for members/ Clubs to make a little money while improving the system for all users.
We may not be fulfilling everyone's desires in a state Association yet, but it's easier to change an organization into what you want it to be if you're on the inside making it happen, rather than outside waiting for it to happen. Everyone's vote counts now, but you have to join to have a vote. The more like-minded people involved, the faster things will happen.
I heard a saying a while ago that seems pertinent:
"The world is run by those who show up."
If you want to see something changed, you either have to show up, or at least support those who do so for you.
Think of it as a $35 dollar donation for Michigan's trails - AND you get FREE membership in the United Four Wheel Drive Associations, FREE membership in GLFWDA, 4 FREE issues of "The Boondocker" - the GLFWDA Quarterly 'Newsletter' (Hell, the thing's so nice it's practically a magazine!), access to Event Insurance for Member Club's, Representation at DNR meetings, Representation on the MMRC (Michigan Motorized Recreation Council), etc, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah . . . (There's a whole list of member benefits)
OK, I'm starting to ramble.
If you're not going to join the fight, at least donate a membership fee to those fighting it on YOUR behalf!
If no one cares enough to get INVOLVED, we're as good as finished wheeling in this country. Private land is easier to close than public. Just ask Paragon, Lion's Back supporters, or the Kidds in the Mudd Extreme Park owners.
We MUST support the fight for PUBLIC TRAILS!
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem; if you realize it or not.
Just a few thoughts on the matter,

About the Book
Avalon High seems like a typical high school, attended by typical students: There's Lance, the jock. Jennifer, the cheerleader. And Will, senior class president, quarterback, and all-around good guy.
But not everybody at Avalon High is who they appear to be ... not even, as new student Ellie is about to discover, herself. What part does she play in the drama that is unfolding? What if the bizarre chain of events and coincidences she has pieced together means -- as with the court of King Arthur -- tragedy is fast approaching Avalon High?
Worst of all, what if there's nothing she can do about it?

So blogger Jason Roe finds what he thinks is an error on the RyanAir site that would let you buy airfare from the zero-frills a-la-carte Irish airline for free. An employee decided t make nasty comments in Jason's comments section, calling him "idiot and a liar!" and saying that he probably can't get a date. Which was not that surprising. Nor was it surprising that a RyanAir PR rep responded to the situation. What was surprising was that the PR rep sided with the commenter and heaped further abuse on the blogger!
