Globetrotting Furniture: Upcycled Luggage Seating
We're in the height of summer vacation time, but not everyone has the time or money to take a trip across the globe. If you're itching to satisfy your wanderlust, or even just get a taste of the jet-setting lifestyle, take a look at these amazing upcycled furniture pieces, made of discarded luggage.
Capetown-based designer and artist, Katie Thompson of Recreate, uses found objects to create a stunning line of recycled furniture. Shown here, an old suitcase is reenvisioned as a charming (and worldly!) lounge. Be sure to take a look at her redesigned, found object lighting and interior accessories as well.

Take a look at some of the furniture artist on Etsy as well. You'll find a lot of recycled furniture and found objects made into furniture as well. (I'm such an artist on Etsy!).
saw this same idea on a show called "Trash to Treasure". I miss that show...
Anyone else getting a coffin-like vibe, or is it just me?
Ugh, it's a shame that the locks are on the same half of the suitcase as the handle. How do you not hit your legs on them every time you sit down? I would probably remove them, but leave the handle.
I stand corrected..."From Junky to Funky" on DIY Network. It is inspiring.
ouch! need to remove hinges!
Or you can turn the locks sideways.
I love the idea of recycling stuff,like the suitcase,ect.. I would love to own the chair shown in my home!
I always try not to post negative comments but really, AT? You couldn't draw the line at tufted suitcase chair?
Oh come off your high horse. . .did you not see how many people above you loved the piece? This is not called "Cindy44Apartment Therapy" after all.
Kudos for an interesting idea!
Supet cute.
This piece particularly looks as a statement piece in some haute couture environment. It is extremely weird but even more weird is the fact that is undeniably pleasing to the eye.
It sort of looks like a monster puppet about to eat anyone sitting on it or a popped corn suitcase kernel.
I am not a fan-way too twee for me.
Looks uncomfortable.
That is so clever. AT should host contests consisting of re-purposing items like this, letting the readers vote on the best. Pick an easily attained item (like a piece of thrift store luggage!) and ask readers to make something great out of it while keeping the integrity of the item. ReadyMade magazine (RIP) used to do something like this.
Mr. Modtomic
my g. o. d.
what a great chair. i love and want it
LOL @ wistfuldreamer
you're right. how dare i question a tufted suitcase chair.
I like it. I am important.
@ Cindy44 -
It wasn't that you questioned the chair but the snide manner in which you did it. This is supposed to be an open forum on design and DIY - if you don't like it then a comment such as cakegirl's is more effective than attacking the site and poster. Someone worked hard on that.
i dream of doing something like this. inspiring :)
love it - would be awesome in a metro vacation rental.

In this article, the authors assess the impact of participation in financial education seminars offered by TIAA-CREF on retirement goals and retirement saving behaviors. Specifically, the authors examine whether participants in these seminars revised their expected retirement age and/or their desired level of retirement income after attending a seminar. Through the use of an additional survey that participants completed several months after attending the seminar, the authors also determined whether individuals actually made changes in their retirement saving behaviors.

The End.1 Reviews
So the finale is here, I know it's been awhile but here it is!
Chapter 5.
Blood ran down the walls. Screams were everywhere around me. I couldn't escape this nightmare. I couldn't even breathe. My life was coming to an end tonight and I didn't even know why. I had no idea the trouble that would be in store for me.
It had been an hour since Nina had been killed and nothing had happened. No one had said a word. Jay had not returned so we assumed he was dead. No one moved from the the front hallway. No one had even moved. Softly in the background was the gentle cries from Bob. He was devastated. His first love. They were perfect for each other now she was gone. Nothing could bring her back and nothing would settle his mind.
I decided it was time to speak, if this were to be hour last hours alive then I wanted to talk about the good times we spent together. Growing up with these guys just made me who I am today so I wanna make sure they know that I wouldn't have it any other way.
"Do you guys remember the first time we got drunk?" I asked curiously. Frank looked up and smiled.
"Yeah, I remember" He said then his smile faded "You couldn't handle your alcohol" He then grinned again.
"I so could, you were the one crying by the end of the night" I retorted. He pretended to be shocked then giggled.
"Remember Gee fell asleep in his own sick then he woke up and freaked out, ironically you said you'd never drink again" Mikey laughed and looked and his brother. Gerard didn't even realize we had been talking. "Brother!" Mikey tried again to get his attention but nothing.
"Just leave him right now" I said trying to take attention away from Gerard. I was slightly worried but what else do we expect from the situation.
"Who remembers the first time we went camping?" Mel chimmed in. I smiled and so did Frank. Tanner looked at me and she looked like she was going to say something but then didn't.
"Yeah we really weren't smart teenagers were we? we never brought enough food with us and we brought twice as much booze" Frank giggled. "What I wouldn't do to have some booze right now. Enough to black out and never have to worry about dying" He said on a more serious note.
"Look why are we even here? None of us have talked foe years. We stopped talking for a reason now we are all here for some stupid little prank that went wrong and now what 14 of us are paying for something that we didn't mean to go wrong. No he was an ass. He got what he deserved and I am not ready to accept my death for a scumbag like him. He can rot in hell. The one person I have ever loved in this whole world is now dead. I do not want anyone else dead for that sick motherfucker up there to feel happy and like he has gotten revenge for his brother. Nope not today. I will get out of here!" Bob said out of nowhere.
Everyone was stunned. No one had a clue what to say to that. He was right. He was just saying what everyone of us were thinking but too afraid to say.
And with that he got up to leave. He walked down the hallway and before any of us could shout a figure had grabbed him and slit his throat. He was dead within seconds and the figure swiftly disappeared again.
That was another one gone. Dead. Only six of us are left. By this point none of us had it in us to cry. None of us had it in us to even care. We just wanted our deaths to be quick.
One by one, We were picked off. Tanner was next. Then Frank. I cried for that one. I was loosing everyone and I was being saved until last for my part played in Jeremy's death. I guess I sorta deserve it. I should have said no to the prank. I should have said no but I didn't.
When Mel died. I felt like giving up on everything. She was the last thing I had, Gerard had emotionally lost it and Mikey wasn't talking anymore.
"You know I think we're gonna die" I said breaking the silence.
"What makes you think that" Gerard said sarcastically. I just gave him a look that said don't start me or I'll be killing you.
"Look it's obvious we are going to die but the thing is I really don't care anymore. I've lost everyting. My best friends and the woman I love. It's clear I am next. He's leaving you two until last. It's only fitting as Gerard was the one who killed Jeremy" Mikey said.
He was right. We were getting saved until last.
Mikey was next. He put up a good fight but none of us could stop it.
Gerard broke down. He started punching the wall until his hands were bleeding. He cried until nothing else came out. He just couldn't go on anymore. I was just shocked. I didn't want Gerard to be next. That's when he came over to me, he looked into my eyes and kissed me. Never had he kissed me with so much passion and it scared me. Like he thought it might be his last kiss. It scared me.
"Riley I want you to know that from what happens now that I love you. I've always loved you. Since the moment we met and I love you just as much now. I never stopped and I never will. No matter what happens that is the truth of it. I want you to know that I thought of you every single day. Wondered what an idiot I was to let you go. What an idiot I was for making the plan for that stupid prank and worst of all for killing someone who didn't deserve to die. I hate myself for this. I've killed everyone here and I'm going to have killed you. I hope you forgive me" Gerard said and pulled me in for a hug.
Before I could even reply to that out of nowhere Max fell down the stairs and onto the floor around us. The bodies were really starting to pile up. This brought us happiness and joy. This meant he was dead but who killed him?
"I bet your wondering how he is dead?" We heard a voice coming from up the stairs. Gerard pulled me behind him to shield me. Footsteps descended down the stairs and I started to panic. This was it. The voice had sounded a little familiar.
"Miss me?" Jay said. My eyes widened as Jay made his way down the stairs.
"What the hell is going on here?" I shouted.
"Don't worry everything will be fine okay. He's dead now, We can leave. I've got the keys" Jay said and made his way to the front door. The shutters started to open up and I was the first out, then Gerard. Jay was still inside. That's when we heard the gun being fired. Max couldn't have been dead.
"Jay" I said and looked at Gerard. We turned around and Jay had been shot in the arm.
"Look run guys, I've started a few fires within the house now run. This place will burn and the evidence and bodies will too. No one will know the truth now save yourselves and I'll finish that fucker off, goodluck and I'll miss you guys" Jay said and pulled the front door shut.
We looked and each other and ran.
And that's the story of my halloween. What's yours?

Just play by the rules he sets. Don't expect the easy A without buying into his program
Gee, some kids at Nova don't like a "think outside the box", non-traditional teacher like Erny? Go figure. Obviously they want to be told what to do and get their grade without having to think, like they've had it since day one of Catholic school. Erny makes you uneasy, pushes your buttons - the class is called Life Skills Planning. Duh.
Erny Ramirez is an EXCELLENT teacher. His classes are extremely fun. Although it can be confusing at times I think that he really makes you think and has very profound insights.
Don't take this class if you expect to learn anything. Actually, I think you will be dumber after you take the class, I think a kindergartener could pass his class. Basically, he is an easy A if he likes you. He will pass any athlete with a B, especially the boys' basketball team, even if they rarely attend class.

The biggest mistake of my tenure at Villanova was enrolling in his class. It is a waste of time. The work was mindless and at the level of a 1st grade class. The class is not even worth taking for the easy A. Erny, CHALLENGE YOUR STUDENTS or GET OUT!

All things related to the wonderful Zach Condon of the band Beirut and his stunning works.
Inquire // Submit
this site was a thing? Sorry for backing down, y'all. There are so many amazing Beirut blogs out there, and I just couldn't be the coolest one anymore. Then school was a thing and I had no time to do anything but work.
If anyone wants to revive this, holla at me. Seriously.
I'm writing this note to apologize.
Hey y'all, so for a while, this blog was running strong, then as soon as the school year hit, I just couldn't keep up anymore, and I think I've let you down. This is the second year in a row that I've completely forgotten about our very own Zach Condon's birthday, and now he is 26 and I did nothing to celebrate.
I'll probably post a few things here and there, but for the most part, Fuck Yeah Zachary Francis Condon has dissolved. Unless you'd like to help me out, in which you can shoot me a message.
I still love you all.

Getting Insurance to Cover a Stimulant and Strattera
"My 13-year-old is doing well on the stimulant-Strattera combination his doctor prescribed, but my insurance company is unwilling to pay for both meds. Any advice?"
Appeal the decision (consult your insurer's benefits handbook or its website to find out how). The doctor may be required to justify prescribing two meds, either in writing or by telephone, so give him a heads-up. Most insurance companies will respond to your appeal quickly. If your appeal is rejected, move up the chain at the company and ask about the next step. Don't let your insurance company practice medicine. Your physician should be the one to decide which medications your son should take.

Visit my Worldbuilding Blog or follow me on Twitter!
It appears to be a problem with the Opera web browser. Downloaded in IE just fine.
Hi NK
I am having a few problems with this too, I'll try and detail what's happening below. Before I start I have to say I can see what you are doing it's just clarification on some points I need as it doesn't seem to work as straightforward as the tutorial would seem. Also, I'm patched up to the latest version.
1. When you say draw the borders AWAY from features I don't know what you mean. I am trying to draw a border along a small test area of a map and doing so along a stretch of coast, into the interior and back to the start point, a roughly rectangular shape.
2. Trace feature; how? I click on a promontory of the coast to begin the border (having clicked border, default) then hit T to begin the trace. Do I re-click the same point as point to begin the trace, or the next point along, and so on, back to the start point to close the border? Do I ultimately right click to close the border? It keeps on throwing up random lines or selecting the entire coast and I don't know what I am doing wrong?
3. Path to Poly - I need more info on this. I have followed these steps and it immediately seems to select the entire border as an entity...and then all I can do is "Do it"...but it doesn't seem to do anything. The resulting map is NOTHING like the tutorial map. I get the border apparently selected and not filled in or anything like it.
This is as far as I can go so far.
Advice and help required!
Thank you in advance!
OK further to my post above, I'm still trying to get this working, and really have no idea why its not. The tutorial posts are just a little ambiguous at the moment. At the Fractalise -> Path to Poly Section, it appears that I already HAVE a closed border, once I finish directly drawing the border that I want (without using trace at all, may I add), I end up with a border, Dashed Line, with NO FILLED section at all!!!
I really have no idea where this is going wrong. I think I am following the steps successfully (without going near Trace ATM) and it simply does not work.
First: I am aware that at the moment I am replying to myself, however I am hoping that anyone else using this tutorial will find the posts helpful.
TRACE: Once you first start your initial point for the border to begin, hit T. You will then be asked to select what you want to trace, so select the river or coastline as appropriate. At this point you can then select the initial point to trace from, as you move the cursor after clicking your start point the line will follow the feature until you click your end point. From here you can then add further nodes or traces as required. Try and place drawn borders or traces close to end points of others so that the Path To Poly action can function correctly. Several times when sections were too far apart I got spurious enormous lines and had to back up.
Still can't get entire sections to fill in colour nor border lines to neatly sit alongside others without totally drawing over the top of different coloured ones, WIP!
Yet another post:
The Trace now seems to be working or rather I now seem to be doing the Trace action correctly.
I've been looking round some other posts for tips or advice on what seems to be going wrong with the Path To Poly command. I don't know if its due to the version I am using or what exactly is the problem, but I've now seen in two or three other posts that the use of the Path To Poly command should create a filled polygon of the Colour selected in the menu bar. However, all I seem to get is a polygon line of this colour. When I amend fill style, or amend colour it doesn't do anything other than fill this actual line with the Fill Style selected. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if its a program issue.
Anyone out there have any ideas?

No worries, take your time. Work has gotten in the way of mapping for the last few days anyway!
The few minutes I have been able to scrounge have revealed that the Borders button will not as far as I can see allow Path To Polygon to create a filled polygon, but using the Path command WILL allow solid polygons to be formed as prospective territories. Duh. Sort of. Reading the tutorial it seems to suggest the Borders command will allow individually drawn border sections and traces to be joined up using path to poly to form solid polygons/countries.
Going to try again later, work permitting!

For the third weekend in a row, rain is in the forecast. However, don't worry, it will not be anything like the previous two weekends!
We are not expecting a wash-out; in fact rain totals will only be around one inch. Keep the umbrella handy as rain showers will be scattered most of Saturday, especially in the last afternoon to early evening time frame.
By Sunday afternoon, drier air begins to work back in to our area with sunshine and temperatures in the mid-70s, just in time for Mother's Day!

Like the case of consummation constipation at its core, this potentially lively union between Made In Dagenham director Nigel Cole and East Is East scribe Khan-Din can't quite keep it up. The comedy, that is.
It starts amusingly enough, with young Boltonian Atul (Ritchie) seemingly doomed never to "make a woman" of his new bride Vina (St Trinian's graduate Karan).
The main problem is his pompous dad (Harish Patel) who continually ruins the mood, whether by drunkenly intruding, snoring or exercising his own conjugal rights in the bedroom next door.
But as time and virginity wear on, Atul's performance anxiety not only makes him a laughing stock, but leads him to question both his love and his loved ones. Which isn't funny, and isn't meant to be.
Unfortunately, once the film begins its descent into melancholy, it struggles to get out. Oh, it's not without chuckles, though they come with a knowing nudge rather than a full-on "phwoar" ("I love a good monsoon dance sequence," leers Atul's projectionist boss at the Bollywood stars writhing on-screen).
And with Patel reclaiming his place next to stage wife Meera Syal, it certainly has dignity and heart.
But the sadness behind many of the characters - coupled with Atul's endless sulking - make it a surprisingly dour watch.
It's also eye-rollingly predictable, from the Anglo-Asian stereotypes to the reason Eeshwar's best friend mysteriously decided to get out of his life all those years ago.
A Good Time that doesn't quite roll.

[Free4Kindle] Out of Mormonism: A Woman's True Story
My wife read this book years ago and said it was really good. Also, the last couple of chapters give great apologetics when dealing with Mormons:
Out of Mormonism: A Woman's True Story
Author(s): Judy Robertson
Publisher: Bethany House Publishers
Price: FREE
When Judy and Jim Robertson felt a spiritual void in their lives, they found ""the finest people in the world""

Once drawn into Mormonism, they quickly climbed to leadership positions and became worthy temple Mormons, only to become disillusioned with the teaching and demands of the LDS church. From her unique insider's viewpoint, Judy shares her life as a Mormon woman, her rediscovery of the Jesus of the Bible, and how she and Jim found freedom as they left the LDS church in the face of persecution and confrontation.

I'm not to sure. Is there any other speacilst I can take my car to?
I bet its the dealer spinning you a line rather than Renault UK. Give em hell mate cos at the end of the day you've got a parts invoice that clearly states a brand new UCH was purchased recently by your Technician mate who fitted it to your car.
I don't know of anyone in Harlow I'm afraid but the dealer sounds like they are only interested in your wallet and it would be cheaper to have it sent to me!
the parts was fitted by a mate who worked at Renault.. there just being c***s
there literally beading me over and there is nothing i can do.. if i don't fix the car then its worth nothing..
Tom, can you PM me a photo of the oval plate sticker from your drivers door jam and/or yor reg? I seem to recall a technical solution relating to various vehicle platforms pertaining to the decoder rings and gave a non-stating issue anda flashing red LED. It was howeve based on specific build numbers so I need to look it up on RenaultNET for you. I'm out ad about now and posting via my Blackberry (whic takes a bloody age) however it was a simpe fix requiring a minor re-wire IIRC.
Tom, I've found the tech note mentioned above and it is very possible you're vehicle is effected as its in the age range. I need to confirm a few other details with you that will involve you speaking to whoever has your car at the minute.
Question: When the vehicle was CLIP'd were codes "DF067" and "DF069" present?
If so it will be the after ignition + feed that's at fault and i'm betting pin #3 to the decoder ring is yellow in colour rather than red.
I fitted the uch and codded it as needed. Can't see why they would recode it wouldn't do Much lol,
And recode the keys? Doubt that do anything to. Maybe if only one was not working,
The uch should be covered. Sounds like their trying to f**k you over with cash.
But they'll still get paid through warrerny anyway
Your first mistake was taking it to Darlingtons Renault, mate! You could try Renault in Ware, or Chelmsford, as they have always been really helpful and knowledgable.
Alternatively, you could always let Mark Fish have a look!?
He didn't take it to darlingtons..... He took it to me,
And what's Rong with darlingtons? People their were very highly trained.
Had 3 rte's and a senior tech,
One of them is now at ware...
I don't work their no more mate its closed down..
Ok dude no worries. Just your statement said your first mistake was taking it to darlingtons... When he never took it their in the first place...
Car is fixed now!! turn t out to be the UCH again!!
it got done under warranty but still had to pay £291
I'd argue that mate. They shouldn't fail that easily. Fact! Get Renault uk involved and get your money back.
Glad it's sorted though
As above, deffo escalate this to RUK. What was the £291 for Tom?
£291 was for trying a new key and programming and for a new battery they tried..
How much £200 at the most for that. Well it should be nothing. Seriously get in touch with RUK. They are taking the piss
How do I contact Renault uk? Mark fish even said they would refund me ??
Bottom of the page... tel numbers, postal and email addresses
Don't get arsey with them, just tell them what has been done and explain that you're not happy with teh franchise that charged your an additional £291 as you've already purchased a new UCH recently (for which you can provide a reciept) and you've been told that you still had to buy a new one.
The only reason possible that I can think of that your old, replacement UCH is not covered is because water ingress killed it and that was the cause of your original UCH's death which wasn't rectified by the Tech that fitted it... but apart from that "I'm out"
Ok thanks Mick. They done a 6 hour water test on the car and didnt leak abit..

There is one downside though, It shows availability and prices in one table. I'd like to see a calendar with availability too. People are more used to calendars than tables when it comes to dates.
If there could be a simple hook with the mini calendar it would solve all problems.

Hi Bart:
Sorry about you drowning in more emails but the situation is quite dire.
I know you cannot micro-manage everything, however it is strange that the
man who has been complaining for over ten years and a man who has without a
doubt the most knowledge on the subject, has been totally and purposely
ignored by the CFTC.
If there was a desire on the part of the commmission to ascertain what has
happened, and as well receive no co-operation from the "mark" in the
investigation, then I would leverage Mr Butler. He should quickly and
thoroughly solve all your unanswered questions.
Just like the Madoff testimony given by Mr Markopolis today, the regulators
have a fear of being blacklisted by JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, and this
fear guides their actions.
Regulators forget that their duty is to the public, not the banks. If their
actions are guided by the plum job offers that they get when leaving their
positions within the Commmission, then I can only say that all are complicit
in this crime and should suffer the consequences once the fraud has been
The bank shares are trading as if going into a vortex. Bank of America
today traded at $4.72. Citibank continues to flounder at around 3.70 as

It is for this reason that I urge you to present our documents to the
cabinet so that President Obama can deal with the problem in an expedient
fashion as I don't believe we have the luxury of waiting.

I have asked Christine to call Stefan Spicer the CEO of Central Fund who

to call Mr Spicer who without a doubt can fill in many missing pieces with
respect to physical silver purchases.
Christine emphasized in a rather strong manner that she "WILL SPEAK TO MR

U.S. January job losses most severe in 34 years
WASHINGTON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - U.S. employers slashed 598,000 jobs in January, the deepest cut in payrolls in 34 years as the national unemployment rate shot up to 7.6 percent, according to a Labor Department report on Friday that underlined a deepening recession.
January's job losses were worse than the 525,000 that had been forecast by Wall Street economists, who also had expected the unemployment rate to come in lower at 7.5 percent. The bleak employment data is certain to be cited by the Obama
administration as a fresh reason for Congress to speed up debate over a multibillion-dollar package of proposals to try to stimulate economic activity.
Last month's job reductions were the largest since 602,000 in December 1974, while the jobless rate reached its highest level in more than 16 years.
"January's sharp drop in employment brings job losses to 3.6 million since the start of the recession in December 2007," Commissioner of Labor Statistics Keith Hall said in a statement, and "about half the decline occurred in the last three months."
January's losses followed upwardly revised cuts of 577,000 in December and 597,000 in November.
The manufacturing sector bled jobs at the sharpest rate during January in more than 26 years, shedding 207,000 workers after cutting 162,000 in December. The last time more factory jobs were lost in a single month was in October 1982 when 221,000 were cut. An index measuring total paid hours for factory workers dropped to its lowest level since 1940, department officials said.
Construction industries dropped 111,000 jobs in January after 86,000 in December and Hall said that pace of cuts was accelerating. Retail businesses cut another 45,000 positions after shedding 82,700 in December.
The job losses has created havoc for all levels of government. Municipalities are not receiveing funds from the states. Sales tax revenue is falling off a cliff as we have already seen California default. Jefferson County is threatening default as will the state of Alabama. The state of Arizona will run out of money in 3 weeks. I highlighted a paper written on Thursday showing that 46 out of 50 states will file for bankruptcy protection this year.

REUTERS EXCLUSIVE-INTERVIEW-US consumers miss more debt payments-Equifax
* Lenders tracking credit trends to prevent more losses
* More lenders requesting Equifax's "bankruptcy scores"
* Consumers leery of taking on more debt, saving more
* Lender and borrower retrenchment part of rebalancing
NEW YORK, Feb 6 (Reuters) - U.S. consumers are falling further behind on their debt payments even as both borrowers and lenders struggle to keep the debt burden from getting even heavier in the face of a worsening recession and employment picture, a credit bureau executive told Reuters.
Dann Adams, president of U.S. Information Systems for Equifax Inc
"Lines of credit are being very closely monitored," said Adams, whose clients include banks struggling to prevent more bad debt from piling onto their balance sheets.
Banks are, for example, warily watching their credit card portfolios in anticipation that consumers whose home values are plunging will turn to credit cards as their home equity lines of credit are cut or canceled.
They are also preemptively culling inactive cards, seeing them as a potential liability: "If the consumer gets in trouble with someone else they'll start using the bank's card, and the bank doesn't want them to do that," he said.
Customers whose credit scores are on a downward trend are finding themselves on the receiving end of more aggressive action to limit or cut off credit.
And more lenders are requesting an Equifax product called "bankruptcy scores" that expresses the probability that an individual will be bankrupt over the next one to two years, Adams said.
But Adams is careful to note that this is "a supply-demand contraction." Consumers are likewise saving more, and growing leery of new debt.
The retrenching on both sides is part of a "rebalancing" underway in the banking system that will insure safety and soundness in the long term, Adams said. But closer in, the tightening of purse strings is exacerbating the recession as consumers miss payments, traumatized banks pull back and the economy contracts further.
"We're not seeing a real positive trend in anything we track," Equifax's Adams said…
On Monday, the new Secretary treasurer is going to finally detail his long awaited rescue plan for the banks. Many believe that he is going to
introduce a bad bank to hold all the toxic waste from the banks. I would like to review what I commented to you throughout the past few weeks on this matter:
The banks have a total of 10.5 trillion dollars of securtized debt mortgages, commercial mortgages, subprime, alt a's and jumbo mortgages out there. Roubini , and other noted economists have forcast that approximately 35-50% of this junk is uncollectable. Roubini puts the figure at around 3.6 trillion. Goldman sachs puts the figure at around 4 trillion dollars. The banks have retained earnings of about 1.2 trillion dollars.
Now the problem is how are they going to price the toxic junk to remove it from the banks balance sheet. If they price the purchase at 8 trillion dollars (i.e. 100% higher than the correct market value) then the banks get to live another life. Their recapitalization needed will be 1.3 trillion dollars ( 2.5 trillion minus 1.2 trillion (retained earnings to equal 1.3 trillion dollars.) The banks would still need 1.3 trillion dollars to recapitalize. They would probably get foreign countries to inject capital.(the loss of 2.5 trillion comes from 10.5 -8 trillion equals 2.5 trillion)
However, the usa taxpayer would get hosed. The loss to the taxpayer would be 8 trillion of payouts minus the 4 trillion in recovery or 4 trillion dollars of loss, plus interest.
While this is going on, the usa would be running a huge deficit and the government would keep the printing presses on 24/7. Not a good scenario. Gold and silver will run to the strasophere. Long bonds will lower in price (rise in yield) imploding all the interest rates derivatives of JPMorgan.
I will highlight this in a commentary written by Jim Willie later in my comments.
If they only give the banks 2 trillion instead of 8 trillion for their bonds, the banks would be insolvent. Not only will the banks blow up but also the entire derivatives will blow up as there will be nobody to collect or pay on those derivatives. Gold and silver explode to the strasophere as in the above scenario.
This was released last night by Jim Willie and it highlights the mess than JPMorgan is in:
The secret weapon of mass destruction in the last decade has been the Interest Rate Swap. Notice how the dreaded 'Bond Vigilantes' are all dead, run out of town, or converted to blacksmiths. The IRSwap device enabled JPMorgan to use lower Fed Funds rates and immediately associated short-term USTreasury Bill yields in order to leverage down the long-term USTBond yields. The IRSwap extended the reach of JPMorgan and the US Federal Reserve to control long-term rates. Fires are burning hot in the JPM basements, complete with visible smoke, since 0% yields put nearly infinite pressure on the leverage devices. This is pure physics. USTBills have approached a near infinite value, thus exerting unsustainable pressures on the IRSwap leverage. The end result is a shattered triangle that reined supreme for two decades. The powerful machinery is broken. Like horses no longer held back by weighty stagecoaches loaded with burdensome ballast and overweight men in stolen suits, the gold price will be released. The crude oil triangle will be broken also, but later.
For years, JPMorgan has been swapping short term treasuries for long term treasuries through derivatives. In plain English their moves lowered interest rates and forced the bond vigilantes to escape Dodge. They wanted no part in this scam.
The problem for Morgan is that short term rates went to zero which forced long term rates also to go to ridiculously low levels. JPMorgan is massively short the long term bonds and thus they are frying as these instruments are now lowering in price and rising in yield as foreign holders do not want to hold low producing interest vehicles. They would rather hold gold and silver. This was the message that we received last week and now we are hightlighting this for you. We are also hearing that many are preparing to remove all the febuary gold and March silver in the next few weeks. Here is the link:
Jim Willie of goldenjackass.com has heard through his sources that gold has been leaving through the back doors of the COMEX warehouses and there is a group of billionaires ready to empty the vaults by the end of March.
The next area of concern is General Motors. They must report to congress on the 17th of Feburary. If they cannot come up with a comprehensive plan and return to profitability, then they all go bust. The problem here is the massive derivatives written by them and on them.
General Motors has about 1 trillion dollars of credit default swaps written on them on their survivability. We also have massive credit interest rate derivatives written by GMAC et al. If they blow up, the entire interest rate derivatives also blow up.
This is what we have to look forward to next week.
My guess, is that Geithner is going to disguise the rescue attempt in order to give his banking buddies a life line and hose the public.
Expect some type of insurance on those toxic securities and a guarantee that the banks will lend. I am not sure that the banks are lining up to loan the money. For what business? Nothing makes money anymore!!.
I now must add another country to my list of potential failures. I have highlighted to you in the past, Iceland, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ukraine, Italy and the number one on the list England.
We have a new country and that is Mexico. This country is running out of control as the drug cartels are seizing the country.
To boot, their big oil field, Canterell is drying up. The Mexican peso has fallen from 10 to the dollar to 14.5 dollar. The unemployment in Mexico is rising and they are in serious trouble.
We are witnessing riots on the streets in Spain, France, Russia, China and Iceland. Pretty soon you will riots everywhere especially when we are witnessing famine in many countries.
have a great weekend.

2nd ANNUAL WALKIN' THE COUNTRY A HUGE SUCCESS!
Q Country 103.7 Personality Chris Allinger Walked Around
Tompkins County to Benefit the Food Bank's BackPack Program
Raising Over $27,500!
The Food Bank of the Southern Tier is pleased to announce that Q Countrys Walkin the Country fund drive was a huge success, raising over $27,500 to benefit the Food Banks BackPack Program in Tompkins County!
From September 9th through September 13th, Chris strapped on a backpack and walked to every town in Tompkins County filling the backpack with donations. Click here for photos from Walkin' The Country II.
Click here if you would like to make a secure, online donation. Just select "Walkin' The Country" in the drop down menu.
Special thanks to Andy Noel and Cornell Athletics & Physical Education staff, Ithaca College, CSP Management, Eagles, Jim Ray Homes, Tompkins County Sherriffs Department, Roman Village, the Ithaca Professional Firefighters Association, Yogurt Crazy, John Marclotte and Cargill Feed and Nutrition, and all of the generous community support received!
I couldnt be happier with the result. People got the message that there are children going hungry right here in our County, said Chris Allinger. We went out and asked for $3.00 to feed a child for a weekend. Look what happens when a community comes together.
About The Food Bank's BackPack Program
We believe that no child should ever go hungry. Yet, many children who receive free and reduced priced school meals are left without the nutrition they need on weekends and holiday breaks when school is not in session. By providing children who are at risk of hunger with a bag of nutritious food each Friday throughout the school year, the BackPack Program attempts to reduce this gap and help children return to school on Monday ready to learn.
Started as a pilot program with 3 sites in 2005, the Food Bank of the Southern Tier's BackPack Program originally has expanded into 26 sites throughout our six county service area.

So fresh and so clean
Leif loves soap, for my birthday once he bought me seven different kinds of soap. I thought "Oh my gosh, I must be super stinky". He reassured me that it wasn't because I smelled, but because he felt that soap was the most luxurious of gifts. Thanks to Bonghi Natura we're both feeling pretty luxurious lately.
We just received our order of soap from this amazing Etsy seller. Her soaps are made from tantalizing ingredients; almond oil and shea butter anyone?
My favorite so far is the Mattino bar, because it smells like my mom's almond biscotti. Leif is using the Bay rum spice soap and smells wonderful. I would also highly recommend the Puro (tea tree and shea butter) for facial soap and the unscented Semplice for anyone who has trouble with scent - we've both been using it when I have migraines and can't handle smells at all.
This Etsian has an amazing product and fabulous communication check out Bonghi Natura here:
To sum up, we smell super nice! Thank you Bonghi Natura.

Will he and Maya be able to hide their real feelings in front of the kids? How can Luke, Nikki and Abby not notice anything between them if they will be together the whole weekend? Or is this the right time to tell them that their dad's girlfriend is actually Maya, since they are all together?

Lost in the Miami Dolphins announcement that they will be taking part in HBO's Hard Knocks, was the fact that the Dolphins started their second OTA session on Monday. From what we can tell, most Dolphins fans are excited about the Dolphins being featured on Hard Knocks because it will give Dolphins fans a chance to see the reality of training camp. Personally, I will be purchasing an HBO subscription so I can watch every minute of it!
On the field, the Dolphins resumed their 'voluntary' organized training activities. Although, one notable member of the Dolphins was not in attendance….Reggie Bush. Coach Joe Philbin would not discuss Bush, or any other player's absence. Via Twitter we know that Bush was in Las Vegas this weekend…maybe he extended his stay a little bit?? Who knows. However, by the looks of things, Reggie is back with the Dolphins today, on the field. The media isn't allowed to watch today's practice, but Bush tweeted earlier that he's 'ready to work'. So we can assume he's rejoined the Dolphins. We may never find out why he wasn't at yesterday's practice, but as long as he's healthy, I'm not overly concerned.
David Garrard was also not at practice as he was tending to his home in Jacksonville, which sustained storm damage over the weekend. A few Dolphins rookies (Martin, Kaddu) were not in camp because they are still finishing up exams. Vontae Davis was at camp, but again sat out with an undisclosed injury. Richard Marshall, who was signed to add depth at CB, was injured during practice, sustaining a hamstring injury. I'm not particularly worried about these injuries, as they shouldn't effect the players in-season.
On the field, Reshad Jones had a good day, bringing down 3 interceptions, 2 off of Ryan Tannehill. According to the Palm Beach Post, Tannehill took more snaps because of Garrard's absense…..and appeared to 'play like a rookie.' Matt Moore, reportedly, looked sharp. Davone Bess brought down 2 TD passes and had a strong showing. Rookie BJ Cunningham had a rough day, dropping a lot of passes. One Dolphins rookie has caught a veteran's eye…..Cameron Wake had this to say about Olivier Vernon: "He's definitely got a motor, and that's something you can't teach." Hopefully Vernon can finally provide a legit pass rushing threat opposite Wake. If he can, the Dolphins pass rush could turn from a weakness into a strength. The Dolphins are back on the field today, but with no media allowed to watch, updates will be few and far between. We'll keep you posted if we hear anything!

Kyoya doesn't worry that Haruhi might be competition...
Title: Mommy
Pairing: Light Tamaki/Kyoya
Rating: PG (one swear word)
Word Count: 334 Disclaimer: I do not own Host Club. Or anything else really…
Summery: Kyoya doesn't worry that Haruhi might be competition...
When Kyoya watches Tamaki fuss over Haruhi and call her his daughter even as he fantasizes about marrying her (Freud would have loved Tamaki) he thinks maybe he should be jealous. She's pretty and smart and sometimes Kyoya thinks she may be taking his place as Tamaki's inner voice of sense. Haruhi likes him too, though it's more in a 'because he's so retarded you can't not love him' kind of way, rather then a romantic one. When its daylight and they're all at the club or in class or just hanging out Kyoya rationalizes his lack of jealously reasonably enough. Tamaki isn't the only one who adores Haruhi. Kyoya is pretty sure both twins love her and he's heard their plans to seduce her more then once. He might be more worried about these plans if he didn't know that Mori and Honey were always keeping an eye on her, ready to come to her defense should she ever need it. He's actually pretty fond of her himself, in a platonic fashion. In spite of her own obliviousness when it comes to personal relationships involving herself she's remarkable perceptive when it comes to others. She sees things in him only Tamaki ever saw before. So maybe he doesn't feel jealous over Tamaki's feelings because everyone else shares them. When the sun shines, this is answer enough.
But when he looks at the clock on his laptop and finds that half the night has passed that answer falls flat. There's more to it then that, isn't there? The small voice is smug. That's when Kyoya will open his email and see the ritualistic 'Goodnight Mommy' message from Tamaki. Mommy. That is why Kyoya never bothers being jealous of Haruhi. Tamaki grew up in a world where Mommy was his everything: his parents, his teachers, his best friend. She was his world. The only person he loved; Tamaki had moved to a foreign country for her.
Now Kyoya is Mommy. Pretty damn gratifying really.

text: May04 ethicskakukraussmodalmoralityphilosophyphysicspossibilityhumeuniverse from nothingkant Clarity is Necessary for Ambiguous Notions of Possibility After reading a tweet by Pete Wolfendale today regarding the efficiency of society and modal reasoning, I started wondering myself: Is it possible that many of the issues plaguing many of our disciplines could be resolved with a careful analysis of modal vocabulary? I've never been of the sort to believe that just one thing can function as a panacea, curing us of all of our ills and promising us access to the heavenly land of milk and honey, and the same is still true regarding this topic, but I can't help but wonder how many confusions could be avoided if we better understood the nature of possibility itself.

re.: So Called "War On Christmas"??!!
Dear Lawrence O'Donnell,
I am not sure if you are aware that Ricky Gervais told Ellen DeGeneres that he constantly hears two voices constantly, one for good, one for bad??!! I wrote to Ellen DeGeneres, she should explain to Ricky Gervais that means technically he might be, if examined by a Psychiatrist he might have to be committed to a mental institution on the grounds of him being a Schizophrenic??!!
As for you Americans, whenever I hear William O'Reilly, his mentally sick friends like Pat Robertson discuss any religious issue, specially their so called "Houdini" friend – Jesus, I suggest whomever does that needs to be committed a mental institution??!! Perhaps I should explain the Houdini comment – It seems God left Jesus to die on the cross, then allowed him to resurrect, but, didn't give the American Express Gold standard Card to Prophet Muhammed or Moses??!! Resurrection seems to be the most exclusive American Express Gold Standard Club??!!
In other words, for Pat Robertson it's business, for William O'Reilly, it's a rebellion against his employers who are brain dead Zionists??!!
As for you, clearly you need to see a psychiatrics for wasting your time discussing "Houdini"'s birthday??!!
Yours sincerely,

Christians in this country have become such intolerant bullies that the mere expression of any other view or acknowledgement of any other belief is perceived as a threat to their own. I applaud Mr. O'Donnell for calling them out on this phony, cowardly 'war'.

Sweet screed.
Athists don't like your happiness and don't want you to be happy? Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm an atheist, and I want everybody to be happy.
We're not trying to "steal" Christmas, either. A lot of us were raised Christian, and we still celebrate Christmas because it's about family.
I am an atheist and I love this time of year. People who care about one another can come together and be happy for a few weeks and bring some positivity to this world that is so messed up. A world that is messed up, largely, because of religion and the fallout from religious strife.
Dear Mr. Armen K. Dabbaghian. M.Sc.
I find it sad that you dont understand what Mr Gervais was saying on Ellen. He doenst literally hear 2 voices…..he is talking about the inner conflict that all people feel at times.
GIve your degrees back. You dont deserve them.
I know a few athiests, and I am unaware of trying to stop anyone from being happy. A sad matter of fact is that those who are "devout" in their religion don't want anyone else to enjoy the holidays unless they convert. Sad. SAd. Sad. Just a nice time to come together and celebrate the ideas of "peace on earth" for everyone.
@armen Dabbaghian : If the world took every word out of everyones mouth literally, we would need a lot more shovels to bury one another.l
I wish I could buy a Ricky Gervais for the top of my tree instead of a star or angel…

Roadify: Using data to empower people on-the-go
In this dense, bustling city, people depend on mass transit every day, sometimes in different modes, and often multiple times daily.
As part of the one-year anniversary of the NYC Open Data Law – Local Law 11 of 2012 – we're profiling users of NYC Open Data. Our first profile looks at Roadify, a data platform and free iPhone application connecting users with real-time transit info and updates.
Roadify was the Grand Prize winner in the NYC BigApps 2.0 competition in 2010, and alerts users to the latest subway, bus, or driving conditions by using official transit data and real-time updates from commuters. They help answer a basic, vital question posed by millions of commuters daily: "When is my bus/train/subway, etc. coming? And if it's late, why?"
Data Mashup
Roadify gathers open transit data (including Staten Island Ferry and MTA data) from more than 60 transit agency sources across the United States and Canada, as well as from riders via Twitter and the Smartphone app. This data is:
- official/crowdsourced
- real-time/static
- structured/unstructured
Official structured transit agency data is typically in the Google GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) format for schedules and real-time arrival information, while unstructured service advisories can be in XML or RSS feeds or via Twitter. Roadify also monitors Twitter to curate comments from riders and agencies about specific transit systems and individual lines, along with user comments provided via the Roadify iPhone app.
Roadify aggregates this information on its own platform and packages the content for hyper-local, real-time distribution to customers via XML feed. Roadify's digital signage customers can opt to design their own displays for the data feed or use a localized Flash or HTML display in broadcast-ready or interactive mode. Roadify provides transit information on large screens at locations other than transit stations – including Brooklyn's Barclays Center, "City 24x7" kiosks and the Philadelphia Convention Center.
"All this complexity under the hood is about making it easy for riders to find out what's going on," said Roadify CEO Scott Kolber. "If people know when their ride is coming, they're more likely to use mass transit – and that's good for riders and cities."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I don't think the comment was about being a bad parent at all - seemed more about WoW addiction, regardless of parental status.
If I knew someone who was unemployed, living off a lottery win, no kids, no partner, no responsibilities and they told me they spend 16 hours a day playing WoW I'd tell them to get out more and consider professional help.
Still, she doesn't say just playing WoW, she also says reading and thinking about it. When I go to the pub with my friends I often end up talking about last night's raid or an upcoming patch or whatever with my guildies. That is a healthy social interaction that just happens to be WoW related. You can plan what to craft next while cooking dinner and you can write a blog post on a laptop from a park bench while supervising your kids in the playground.
In summary: If you are *playing* for 16 hours a day then my unqualified opinion would be that its unhealthy. If you are playing more like 6-8 hours a day but doing related things the rest of the time then, well, I'd consider getting another hobby but whatever floats your boat, you know? None of this is neccessarily bad for your kid(s) or your relationship with your husband but it might be bad for *you*.


text: I'm much happier and more comfortable with Obama remaining in the White House, but I don't think Mitt Romney would have been a terrible President. He was a capable executive and he scared me a lot less than every other Republican in his party (with the exception of Jon Huntsman). I would have much rather have had Mitt Romney as President than George W. Bush.

I love this hoodie... it has a nice terry cloth feel to it, fits perfectly, has a nice, deep hood, and the thumb holes will be great for spring shredding. I actually hope to pick up another one in a different colorway.

I got this jacket for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it! You can tell it is a great quality cotton and the added fleece makes it super cozy. It is a bit longer that most sweatshirts but he likes it that way so it works.

Ciao Marco, and thanks for this year.
Life is a cruel thing, sometimes. Such is the case that I'm now writing a second obituary in the space of just eight days.
This time, I admit, I'm a little more qualified to talk about with knowledge than what I did with Dan Wheldon. Today, I have to talk about a man who was seemingly invincible.
Marco Simoncelli, at the age of 24, lost his life after a horror accident in the Malaysian MotoGP race today. Unmistakable with his stand-out hair (occasionally drawing comparisons with The Simpsons' character Sideshow Bob) and his flamboyant personality, Marco was a well-loved individual, even if his on-track riding would irk his rivals at times.
Now over the past few years, I'd slowly been getting in to MotoGP, as it was allowing me an alternative when F1 wasn't on. The wheel-to-wheel action was amazing, often side-by-side racing each other without even making contact. These guys are precision riders, and brave to go down straights at over 200MPH when so unprotected.
This year though was something different. I'd caught every race, maybe not live, but I'd seen them all this year. I was supporting Casey Stoner to take the crown as I like the Aussie, but from race 2 a midfield rider took my notice - Marco Simoncelli.
After a collision between Stoner and Rossi in a wet Jerez GP, Simoncelli - who had rode his way up the front - found himself in the shocking position of leading the race. Sadly, a first win in the top tier was cruelly denied after he would later slide out of the race in the same corner where the Rossi/Stoner collision occurred.
I kept an eye out on Simoncelli, and hoping that he would get what he deserved. Throughout the year, he consistently tried fighting for podiums, but would either not be good enough on the day or crash out when in a podium position.
Simoncelli would also, sadly, get on the wrong side of the other riders by sometimes being slightly too aggressive. In the French MotoGP race at Le Mans, a collision between him and Dani Pedrosa would leave the Spaniard with a broken collarbone and unable to compete for the next few races, and on more than one occasion Simoncelli would collide with former World Champion Jorge Lorenzo, ruining both riders' races.
In Czech Republic though, it all started to come together. It was a strong race for Super Sic, and managed to secure a well-deserved 3rd place. And then to top it off last weekend, finishing 2nd in the Australian GP.
Marco was going to move to the World Championship team Honda next year, where he would've easily fought for wins and potentially even the Championship too. Instead, I write here about a young man only two years older than myself who now no longer walks this Earth with us.
I can only thank you Marco for truly getting me in to this sport, and though you leave with no wins to your name, you are a champion in all of our hearts. Rest in Peace.
When it rains, it truly does pour.

VIFF 09 Review: Prom Night in Mississippi
Posted by Marina Antunes on Sep 30, 2009 | 0 comments
Racism is an ugly thing and something largely associated with a time long past. Once in a while, a film (The Order of Myths) or event (Katrina) happens which showcases just how little society has advanced over the decades. When we see racism, it's easy enough to chalk it up to a "small group of people" but that's never been a good response and it's certainly...Read More
Racism: Alive and Well
Posted by Marina Antunes on Aug 25, 2009 | 0 comments
When I saw The Order of Myths earlier this year, I was surprised to find that such a public display of race division was still alive and accepted in the US. It's not to say that I live in an ideal world where racism doesn't exist but it's usually a topic that hides behind closed doors, which people discuss in hushed whispers and (mostly) deny in public....Read More

(M/M slash) rated for future chapters. This is a story of unrequited love, and not always wanting what you have. Rayne Phelps may be unattainable but Edward Mason never said he didn't live with his...
"Cooollin! The Roach is going kill me." I screeched ever the drama queen. I clung to his arm as he shifted books in his locker. It was Monday morning and I had algebra. Of course, I hadn't done the homework because I had barely been conscious during class. Colin always delivers me on days like this with an extra completed assignment.
"Stop your whining. It's grating and getting old fast." He muttered without turning around. What happened to my sweet Colin?
"What?!" I gasped one hand clutching my chest. I collapsed against the set of lockers beside him my eyes wide.
"I said cut it out I'm not messin' with you." Colin returned slamming his locker shut and starting down the hall. I got serious. Colin was really mad about something.
"Wait, Colin. I'm sorry. What's wrong?" I panted jogging to catch up with his long strides.
"Nothing. Why can't you just grow-up? It was cute when we were younger it isn't any more." That was a one eighty. This guy yesterday practically cuddled me in concern. Wait maybe that was the problem. My ultra straight friend was worried that I would take it the wrong way and make more of his concern. I know how anxious he is to not be viewed as gay. For the confused, Colin has a crush on Ericka Bask. He has been crushing on her almost as long as I have pursued Rayne.
"Colin...about yesterday...if you're worried or something...don't be." I said placing a tentative hand on his arm. I hate being uncertain. At least he stopped walking. Colin covered his eyes with his free hand and breathed deeply. I didn't know I was this tiring.
"Ward, what do you say we blow this class?" Colin turned to me a faint echo of his usual carefree self peaked out. When he looks at me like that, I can't say no. I'm a softy.
"Okay, to the park and beyond!" I yelled grabbing his arm and ran down the hall. Once the decision was made there seemed to be no reason to delay and Colin obviously agreed with me because he made no objects and aided in our escape.
"Once outside we headed out to Colin's car. He'd brought the Eclipse today. We both got in without talking. We sat in our favorite spot under a large oak side by side when we got there. Colin picked at the grass peeling blades. He didn't seem in any hurry to start the talk. I left him to work up to what was bothering him so that we could get back to having fun.
"Ward, what happened yesterday between Christian and you?" He almost whispered it.
"I told you. He kissed me." Delaying tactics, I think not.
"I know that but what did he do before that. And don't tell me nothing happened, because I saw his face it wasn't just a kiss. I told you you could tell me anything. You didn't even call yesterday to complain about Kara being at your place. You always call to complain about her. You can't stand her but you told her what happened and you won't tell me. I am supposed to be your best friend, man." That was the longest speech I ever heard Colin make in all the time I had known him. He must be more upset than I figured.
"Colin, I didn't know you were upset yesterday. It was a pretty big thing. I'm sorry I didn't call later. And I didn't tell Kara anything I wouldn't be willing to tell you. Christian cornered me in the bathroom and told me to stay away from Rayne then he kissed me. He implied that he might be interested in me." I really hope that this would satisfy him. I don't like seeing him like this.
Colin didn't say anything for a little while he just continued to pick at the grass at our feet. I stared out over the park barely noticing the children on the slides in the distance or the people playing Frisbee.
He sighed softly leaning his head against the tree.
"It's cool man. Don't sweat it. You can have your girl time with Kara." He said turning to me with a sneer. My eyes widened as he leaned in uncomfortably close. "Just don't expect me to go easy on you!" He roared knocking me over. He wrestled me to the ground and trapped my wrists above my head. We were both breathing fast and I was squirming trying to get away. I knew what was coming and he didn't disappoint me.
"Mr. Tickles RULES!" He attempted for sinister but fell short, coming off as ridiculous. That was fine with me as long as my Colin was back. That was my last coherent thought before I dissolved into helpless giggles.
"Stop! Stop! I can't take it." I gasped striving for breath.
"Say it." He didn't pause.
"Say it."
"Mr. Tickles RULES!" I yelled. I'm sure my face was suffused with color. We had been down this road many times. And like the Cubs, I never win.
"That's right, bitch know your place." He cackled. He gets carried away sometimes. Ah, the things I do for my friends.

Gasoline Fuel-Injection System L-Jetronic
Price: $19.95
Since their introduction, Jetronic fuelinjection systems have proved themselves millions of times over.
The advantages inherent in fuel injection with regard to the demands for fuel economy, engine power, and not least of all for improved environmental compatibility, played a major role in these developments. Ongoing ECU and sensor developments were instrumental in the transition from the original D-Jetronic to the L-Jetronic, an electronically controlled multipoint fuel-injection system which is even more precise and reliable than its predecessors.
This manual describes the L-Jetronic and its most important features. Until 1996, this fuel-injection system was installed as an independent system in series-production vehicles, and in this configuration is today only of interest as far as servicing and repair is concerned.
Modern series-production vehicles are equipped with combined ignition and fuel-injection (Motronic). Linking this to the vehicle's other electronic systems permits the joint optimisation of all systems so that comprehensive engine-management becomes a reality.
These engine-management systems with their integrated ignition are described in the manual ?Motronic Engine Management?.
