Lake in front of Caribou Lodge still frozen in June.
By the time June rolls around, depending on what latitude you live on, you could easily be swimming in warm waters. Move farther north, in Alaska, and it's a different story. If you live in the southeast there is a good chance your garden might be up, and for those along the valley floors, where temperatures are warm, summer is usually in full swing. You're probably not going to be doing a lot of swimming though.
We live just a short flight from the valley floor, up in the mountains, maybe fifteen minutes by airplane, but it's a long walk, a world away from civilization and we have a very different climate and lifestyle. The difference between "down in the valley" and here at home in higher elevations is like night and day.
Where we live, with anything short of a helicopter you're not getting in or out of here during "break-up." This is the time of year between the end of winter and the beginning of summer, during the meltdown of seven months worth of snow and ice. The ice on the lakes, while thick where we live, at the same time is poor and thin in the lower elevations, making it unsafe to land with a plane on skis. We start into what we call no man's land, the period between flying on skis and waiting for the lake to thaw so we can switch our airplane to floats for the summer. Most years the ice is not off of our lake till early June. Two years ago the ice did not go out till after the middle of June when we were finally able to travel ... to fly again. When late break-up is in full swing, it makes me feel as if I'm living on an Island-with no boat.
Our delayed spring break-up affects gardening as well. Oh, we have plants up here too, but ours are all inside our lodge home, looking out the window at the greenhouse less than a hundred feet away, wishing, I suppose, they were out there. The reality is, until June, one night out and they are usually toast, frozen in the night's just below freezing temperatures. So it is a different world for us ... and our plants.
While travel in winter is easy on a snowmachine, fun with a dog team, and work but still doable on snowshoes, each year we reach a point, usually in May and sometimes into June, when travel, even short distances, is next to impossible. As I mentioned before, there is no getting in or out to town, and with soft and punchy snow, walking anywhere outside just around our property can be a major chore. While the skies are mostly clear, the sun has heat again, days grow long and working or just being outside is a welcome change. Much of the time as break-up progresses, by afternoon the heat has taken the morning's frozen crust that will support your weight on the snow, and what was an easy minute trot out to the shop, the cellar, down to the plane or outhouse, is an adventure that can take SEVERAL laborious and frustrating minutes. We've noticed as we age, sometimes those minutes are even a little painful. It goes like this... You're just kinda walking along on the surface of two to four feet of snow (maybe more on a heavy snow year), heading for the shop or the hot house. You know the snow is getting soft so you try to walk lightly, gingerly... It's all going well and suddenly the expected unexpectedly happens and your one leg drops out from under you, plunges from a few inches to three feet straight down in a nanosecond, and comes to a bone jarring stop. Conveniently, your other leg folds up under you jamming your knee under your chin. So if you're like me, a couple of quiet not too nice words are mumbled, you haul yourself up and out and ... try again. You might make ten steps, or maybe just one, before you plunge through again. It's like Russian Roulette, except not quite so serious. But sometimes after getting dropped half a dozen times in a hundred foot distance, the humor of the situation fades quickly. Your movements are limited. You might get up early and if it was cold enough to freeze the top layer of snow ... you could cover five to ten miles in your tennis shoes. But, by 10 a.m. or so, when the bottom drops out of the snow ... that's about where you're gonna be, till the next night's freeze ... if it freezes.
So, getting around in spring, which usually lasts clear into June, is a challenge. Years back, even running our sled dogs over morning snow that was as hard as concrete after a night's freeze was an adventure. I remember thinking we were pretty smart, living up here and running our dogs from October into late May. Poor folks down below had no snow, and had to wander around on bare ground by late spring while we still had tons of it. I would hook our dogs up, yank the snow hook and with snow as hard and smooth as pavement, we would shoot out of the yard like a rocket. Talk about a wild ride. The dogs were always in great shape from running all winter, and could run like the wind with the hard conditions. They loved every fast passing mile of it. I did as well, but there was always apprehension on my part before each run. We were a wreck in progress every time. It was kind of a relief when it got too soft to run anymore and we gave up mushing for the season. The dogs had (unwanted) "summer vacation." They would lie on their doghouses in the sun, sound the alarm when bears got too close, and get a fair amount of "romp time" through the summers.
The timing of break-up and the amount of snow that has collected over winter may vary from year to year, but each spring it's the same. To hasten the snow melt, we start spreading ashes from our woodstove that we have saved all winter (little goes to waste out here) on top of the snow where we want trails around the place-to the dog yard and so forth. The ashes paint the snow dark, and in a week or two, depending on snow depth, the sun will burn out a slog trail, not great, but it's a good start. We're that much closer to walking on ground again. And we shovel a LOT. Anything is better than continually post holing through the snow to get anywhere.
We are always trying to beat the big thaw gathering firewood and the "perfect logs" for cutting into lumber with our chainsaw. In the early days, before we had snowmachines, we would backpack our firewood. It is a tough way to get wood so now with our snowmachines we get wood throughout the winter, but the best conditions are the firm top layers of snow in late spring. But there comes a point where you're bogging along, the machine pulling hard, and you feel the snowmachine drop into deep soft snow. You put the power to it and hopefully gain some traction. If not, you're stuck, and it can be a lot of work getting out, let alone getting your load home. We eventually reach a day when we can't get anymore wood because the conditions are too poor. It's one of the reasons we keep a two year wood supply. We're not interested in backpacking firewood any more.
Pulling our plane off the lake ice near the first of June. It wasn't until after mid-June when we shoved it back in the water on floats.
In the middle of all this, the bears come out of hibernation. My wife, Pam, misses few of them. Many times throughout the day, as she passes the spotting scope sitting by the window in the kitchen, she takes a scan out the window, looking for tracks mostly. Once the tracks are found, you start sorting them out, backtracking a few times will pick up a little black dot over on the mountain in a sea of snow. The tracks lead to the left ... lead right, but don't really go anywhere and after watching for a while, "Yep, it's a bear, there's his den right by where he's lying." Many times we've watched them as the sun goes down. They rise slowly, walk to their den, turn backwards, and wiggle their way butt first back into their winter den (only a fool would go in head first), for one more nights sleep, before summer. Which is kinda the way we feel about this time of year as well ... one more good night's sleep before break-up is over ... and another busy summer begins.

I have a lot of camera, as a professional photographer I use 2 bodies regularly and have a few spares which are usually older bodies I never got round to selling. The mk3 was my workhorse camera but now it's no longer holding that position.
It is still a very very good camera, and you can buy them for a little over £1000 these days. For that sort of money (which is about the cost of a 5d2) you get a lot of camera for your money, but also lose out on some potentially important features.
Noticably lacking on the 1d3 is video, this is purely a stills camera (but it does that job wonderfully). Also lacking is super high ISO (it tops out at 6400), this could be a problem if you're finding your competitors are still taking shots when you've decided to pack up and go home, but up to iso 6400 it does a great job and the noise performance is only a half stop to a stop worse than newer cameras. Also lacking is the high megapixel count of the newer cameras- this is a blessing and a curse.
For shooting something like events, where you might come back with 500-1000 images the small file size of the 1d3 files is great for keeping your photo library manageable, those big 5d2 files fill up a drive pretty quickly, and are slow to FTP. Of course you can shoot in sRAW or jpeg and get smaller files, but with this you don't have to set anything- you always make small files! This can be a problem if you want to make a heavy crop, or print very large, but I have printed 40x30" images with this camera with no issues, so make sure you get the crop right in camera and there's no problem.
AF is of course completely perfect and smokes all but the 5d3 and current 1 series cameras- in low light the 5d2 just can't compare, so what's the use of all those megapixels when you're not getting focus, or you're not getting the perfect moment due to a slow FPS. If you need the full frame, or the high megapixels then the 1ds3 or 5d3 is your camera, both are considerably more expensive. For the price of this 1d3 you can get a 1ds2 which is great if you want a cheap full frame with good AF. Avoid the 5d2 for professional use, but for amateur use it's fine.
The 1d3 fills a niche, but it's a very specific niche, don't get one if you don't need the 10fps, there are better options out there.
You won't be able to buy these brand new anymore, it's too old. But don't fear buying one used because this thing is built to last!
For the price of a 7d you get a much better camera for still photography. Of course it does not have video so if you want to shoot video with a 1 series camera you'll need to raise some serious cash for the 1dmk4 or 1dx.
In terms of image quality the 1d3 is modest in megapixels (just 10) but they're very sharp megapixels and although the 5d2 and 1ds3 have twice the megapixels, they don't really have a major increase in resolution.
I have made 30x20" prints with this camera and they are displayed in galleries, if you get the framing right in camera you can print up to 45x30" and still get good images, megapixels are for cropping rather than printing- use the money you save by buying this camera to get better telephoto glass- a 1d3 or even 1d2 with a 400mm 2.8 is going to make better images than a 1dx with a cheap slow lens with the iso cranked up.
The highest ISO is 6400, which isn't as clean as the newer cameras but is certainly usable, 12800 would be nice for really low light but the cameras that go up to 51,000 and higher are just marketing tricks, the image quality is horrible- if it's that dark use flash!
Everyone comments on the build quality, and people often say it can be used as a weapon! They're not kidding, i've heard tales of people dropping them onto concrete from 9ft heights, dropping them in the sea and then fishing them out. They're hardy cameras, the casing can get scratched up with professional use but the camera inside remains untouched by water, dust and abuse.
Unlike a camera with a battery grip there is nowhere for the water to collect, and cameras with a battery grip always feel a little flimsy, not so with the 1 series, it's as if they were carved from rock.
That's the only downside to the 1 series, the size and weight. But this is a camera designed for professional use, and it does that well- the price alone when new should be enough to put off most amateurs.
Despite being a professional camera it is incredibly easy to use, much more so that the newer cameras which are ridiculously complex, the AF system is easy, just put the box on your subject and press the shutter- no 3d tracking, no expanded zone AF, no nonsense- exactly what professional photographers need.
The camera has live view which is pretty important, and allows you to get shots from interesting angles without having to get down in the mud. The massive battery means you can use live view excessively and not notice it, most cameras can do around 600 shots on a change but this does more like 2000, and the batteries charge in 1 hour (the battery charger takes 2 batteries at a time, which makes it quite big but again it shows it's for professional use), there is also an ac adaptor to connect to mains, perfect for tethered shooting and since the cable is moulded to the battery which is locked into place, it won't ever fall out so you're safe to run and jump around without fear the cable will fall out.
The 1 series are incredible cameras, but don't even buy one because you'll be hooked and you'll never be able to use a 5d or 7d as a backup camera.
This review is written from the perspective of someone who has upgraded from a Canon 20D, in case you're thinking of doing the same.
What do I use a camera for?
As an amateur to shoot, landscape, sports, portrait, drama, performance, panoramics, day and night architecture, printing single frames up to 30' X 20'. All shot RAW occasional print/image sales, but mostly for the fun of it.
What previous cameras have I used over the last 30 years?
35mm SLRs>APS>various digital P&S>Sony F828>20D>1DMark III
What Lens do I use?
EF50 F1.4, TS-E24, EF24-70L F2.8, EF70-200L F2.8 IS (Canon 1.4 Extender)
Why upgrade?
Well I've thoroughly enjoyed my 20D over the last couple of years, I've learnt loads and feel I know the camera and its limitations. Inevitably one discovers some weaknesses / gripes, which for me have been:-
1) AI servo not brilliant on 70-200 f2.8 IS
2) Battery grip works loose, and feels cheap (but isn't)
3) Noise at high ISO, (but still amazing compared to my previous Sony F828)
4) RAW buffer too small.
5) 8.2 MP isn't always enough
6) Small screen
7) The VF surround falls off.
I thought it was time to try something more advanced, I considered a 5D, but 3 FPS and similar build quality to 20D concerned me, if I was going to upgrade I wanted it to be a significant improvement.
The 1D Mark III seemed to resolve all of my concerns, apart from maybe resolution, the only way to really know would be to buy one...
So what are the most noticeable differences? (vaguely in order)
£3,000 is roughly 3 X what I paid for the 20D, If I was earning money with it I wouldn't consider it a issue, but I'm not and we could do with a new bathroom!
Build quality...
As you would expect, the Mark III immediately feels far more solid and better built than the 20D, slight heaver than a 20D with 2 batteries in the grip.
Frame rate...
10 FPS is totally insane, feels more like a machine gun than a camera. Buffer capacity seems massive and I've yet to fill it in real use. Nice not to be worried about how many frames your shooting which I did on the 20D.
Image quality...
Early days but I have had some great looking images, generally cleaner, more believable colour especially skin tones. Initially I thought the RAWs were a bit soft, but I have compared them to some 20D RAWs and they seem much the same (but cleaner).
Crop 1.3
As the Mark III uses a bigger sensor than the 20D, all lenses appear slightly wider.
(A 50mm on a 20D effectively becomes 80mm, on the Mark III it will appear like 65mm, a reduction of 18%)
This hasn't caused me any problems as yet, if anything it seems to make the 70-200 a little more useful as a "people lens".
If you have some poor performing lenses they will probably look worse on the Mark III, I don't have any EFS lenses but be aware they can't be used on the Mark III
High ISO noise...
Much improved from the 20D, makes shooting in available light much more feasible, very good at 3200, but a bit nasty at 6400.
Screen... (Now updated to FW 1.1.0)
Looks huge compared to the 20D, as far as I can tell, when shooting RAW the image on the screen is derived from the embedded JPEG (1936px X 1288px), so it will always be softer than the real image,(not too sure what the image is when shooting JPEG but it looks the same) either way it's clear and sharp enough to check composition and general content, you can certainly tell if a shot is significantly out of focus.
VF brighter and bigger, more info such as ISO
The vertical grip is slightly smaller than the 20D/30D grip, but feels solid.
The mode dial is now a button, not much difference to me
Battery and card door much improved.
Feels like a tool, not a toy
Exposure is generally much better than the 20D, less need to adjust EV.
AF Micro-Adjustment...
Great idea and works well if you spend enough time with it. (i.e. set it up wrong = world of pain)
Live View...
Only use for me has been setting up the AF Micro-Adjustment.
Auto Focus.
There has been much talk of poor AF performance, from my experience there is no issue. This could be due :-
1) The longest lens I have is "only" 70-200mm 2.8 IS
2) It's not that hot / sunny in the UK
3) The subjects I've been using (cricket / dogs / cars) are not as demanding as "birds in flight"
4) If I had used a Mark II I would know what to expect.
At the end of the day, for me the AF works and I'm a happy bunny.
Auto White Balance...
Not noticed any dramatic difference from the 20D, but I don't use AWB much as I shoot RAW and tweak, occasionally use grey card if it's critical.
Menus CF...
Very configurable, so takes a bit of getting use to, similar layout to 20D helped by big screen.
Life seems similar to 20D, just not an issue.
I welcome the better information, I have a spare on order as a back-up.
Will I really take any better photographs with a series 1 body?....
Yes I'm sure I'm getting shots that wouldn't get with the 20D, but I'm also enjoying using a better tool with less frustrations than I had with the 20D. (which seemed perfect when I first got it...)
The 1D Mark III is a huge improvement from the 20D, faster and better built, but it comes at a price..personally I feel it was well worth it, even if I still need a new bathroom!
Update ...July 2008
Send the camera in for the "Sub Mirror fix" and there was an improvement in the AF. Not that I was having any big problem with it anyway. Having had the camera 12+ I'm totally happy, only problem I have is using my 20D as a 2nd body is a bit painful, if I had the money I would buy a second one.
Update 2010.
When the Mark IV came out I bought another new Mark III, having two identical bodies is great.
The Canon EOS 1D Mark III is the most advanced EOS Digital SLR ever produced. It has a new 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor (APS-H size) with Canon's EOS Integrated Cleaning System and a 3.0-inch LCD monitor with Canon's Live View technology. The 1D Mark III has a redesigned 100% viewfinder, a new 45-point AF system, and can shoot up to 10 fps continuously with a maximum burst of 110 shots. Dual DIGIC III Image Processors work in tandem to speed up every process while refining image quality; a new, lighter body has improved weather sealing and shutter durability. Every facet of the EOS experience has been enhanced with the 1D Mark III. It's the new standard.

Natural disasters highlight importance of business continuity plans
Security experts discuss best practices for mitigating risks posed by Mother Nature
Last month, powerful tornadoes ripped through Oklahoma over a 12-day period, leveling buildings and killing more than 40 people in the process. Among the victims were 10 children, seven of whom were killed when a twister stuck an elementary school in the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore. Last fall, Superstorm Sandy struck the northeastern U.S., destroying numerous homes and businesses. The storm also knocked out power and communications for thousands of residents in the region.
The damage left behind in the aftermath of these acts of nature reinforces the need for organizations to incorporate comprehensive natural disaster management policies and procedures in their business continuity plans. Often times, however, security managers become so bogged down in the minutiae of every day operations that their enterprise risk management plans are neglected, rarely ever being updated of practiced.
According to Caroline Hamilton, president of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based security consulting firm Risk and Security, LLC, natural disaster planning should be a part of every organizations' risk assessment regardless of their industry or location.
"Natural disasters are part of what you do when you're doing any kind of risk assessment on a business, enterprise or facility. That's a whole category by itself and that can be hurricanes, tornadoes or tsunamis, but it can also be simple things like flooding or chemical leaks or spills that occur in a city," says Hamilton. "When I go in to do an assessment of something, whatever it is, the first thing I look at are the controls that they already have in place. These controls are important. They are as important as the threat analysis because the control is going to show you how to mitigate that threat - either how to reduce it or eliminate it so it doesn't happen at all. Disaster (planning) is probably about 25 percent of what you do and making sure you can recover no matter what happens is really, really critical."
Hamilton says one of the most frequent issues she sees in organizations is incomplete risk management plans. "That happens a lot times. Companies have good intentions and they start these plans, but they don't finish them because they get sidetracked by some other thing," says Hamilton. "You have to be disciplined enough to go back and finish them."
These plans need to be updated and/or revised every year at minimum, according to Hamilton, who also recommends performing drills at least twice year. Drills for natural disasters can also reap benefits for planning and preparing for other types of emergency events.
"Something that people don't normally associate at all with a natural disaster would be an active shooter," says Hamilton. "But I was just at a conference where local police and DHS were there talking about how to deal with active shooters and they said having these evacuation drills and things that you do for a disaster or emergency drill in case of a fire, chemical spill or whatever, that those evacuation drills are very useful in an active shooter scenario too. A lot of security managers think, 'active shooter, we're going to lockdown the whole facility tight.' They're saying exactly the opposite in that they want to open it up completely because they want as many people as possible to exit out of that building. People remember what they practice."
Michael Crocker, president of Houston-based security consulting firm Michael Crocker, CPP & Associates, Inc., says that organizations also need have someone from the outside review and validate crisis management plans. "I think it is really important to be peer-reviewed," he says. "If you're subject matter experts are in-house, you need someone out of the house to look at it and validate it."

This is very much a personal op.
I do NOT find an issue with things to do in Rift. Content is there, just using it to play the way you want may be the concern. A good guild makes the game work. Our guild is doing so much with the content as it is, we barely have time to breathe…and that is all at 50.
I do not understand this "gap" you speak of for Regular and Tier dungeons. Heck, get some crafted pieces on once you hit 50, and BOOM you can run Tier 1…and at times, may even be Tier 2 ready. Are you talking skill? That is a whole other story then. That requires teamwork, and goes back to the "guild" aspect. Good teammates work together to learn and progress.
I WILL agree with the trip to 50. Do it once, and each run after becomes more droll. Luckily, I have made it through 3 times for Mage, Cleric and Rogue..so, it must be the way I did it (just do what I wanted, avoid questing, rift a lot, maybe a little pvp)…adds up to a more fun experience…and almost feels sandbox in that way.
As to Sandbox MMO's, I have yet to see one really make a splash (except EVE… being different, yet so niche, it is hard to look at it as anything but made for "geeks"). Until it is proven that Sandbox MMO's are the way to go (specifically success wise…there are a ton of EMPTY sandbox MMO's people could be playing I guess)…then I do not see the Sandbox as the nirvana the MMO player wants.
I hope your next game is what you want. As to counting on the Old Republic….oh man…I feel sorry for you. Themepark Central.
Cheers mate!

YBF Celebs GET FAB For The 2013 Trumpet Awards Red Carpet
Atlanta saw a star studded red carpet at last night's 2013 Trumpet Awards, sponsored by Cadillac. YBF celebs like Fantasia, Eva Marcille, Tika Sumpter and more put on their Saturday best to impress the masses. And they didn't disappoint (well, not everyone did). We've got the pics inside....
Photographer Paras Griffin caught celebs making their red carpet appearance at last night's Trumpet Awards at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
And we're pleasantly surprised to see Fantasia looking amazing in this Ralph Lauren stark white knee high slit column gown with a subtle neck cut out. And she paired it with white Giuseppe jeweled pumps. White is definitely her color as the singer accessorized with silver sparkling jewels on her wrist and on her earrings. Great look for her.
And while Fanny showed off her fresh curves, "R&B Divas" star Nicci Gilbert also showed up in a blue longsleeved satin-like gown for the ocassion.
Model and reality starlet Eva Marcille worked the carpet in a slinky black long sleeved gown:
Simple always works for her.
Tika Sumpter looked like a doll in her black gown with a leather bustier.
The rest of the R&B Divas were also in tow:

ok, I have decided to depart from my beloved RS5 pushrod car. For the local 5th scale drivers at 301, there is no need to tell you this car is a bullet. The car comes with everything except servos, I am even throwing in the Audi body.
I know you must be asking yourself, if this is such a wonderful car, why am I selling it, well I have another one! :nod:
The other one was a spare parts car (rolling chassis) and at this time I need money and I rather sell this car since is ready to run. I will post some pics of the second car to prove my point.
I honestly would rather sell the car to one of our local drivers, since I know the car, I can help with setups, tuning and parts.
There are a few local driver that have shown interest but they want to sell their car first, which means that I have to wait, and like I said I need the money soon.
If it doesnt get sold here, I will place it on ebay, which means that it will probably be gone fast, specially since the Euro is so strong that anybody from Europe will be getting this car for half the price.
So, here is an old picture of the car, so that you can have an idea of what it looks like. I will post some more pics tonight.
I am asking for $1200 for everything except servos (I am keeping the servos for the second car). if you have any questions, send pm.

Losing out on sleep in order to craft. #Craftygirlproblems.
For this project, I decided to make a wooden plaque supporting my Tampa Bay Rays. Yes baseball season is over, but I still love my team. I decided to show step by step pictures of what I did. This includes; picking out what paint I wanted to use (obvi. wanted to go with baby blue and my fav. color pink) buying a small wooden plaque that hangs, and using paint brushes. This was a simple project, but required a lot of time in order to make the cutest Rays plaque ever. Also, I bought the plaque for $1 from Jo Ann's Fabric. You can find coupons online! The last picture is another example of a craft I did. It was for my sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. TLAM! I don't understand why they call it "Arts and Crafts." Crafting IS an art. TSM.

Restructuring European debt
Are we going to see debt defaults in Europe? Yes—and Barry Eichengreen has a positively crystalline explanation why. It's a first-rate example of economic concepts being explained in plain, easy-to-understand English:
The more that countries reduce wages and costs, the heavier their inherited debt loads become. And, as debt burdens become heavier, public spending must be cut further and taxes increased to service the government's debt and that of its wards, like the banks. This, in turn, creates the need for more internal devaluation, further heightening the debt burden, and so on, in a vicious spiral downward into depression.
So, if internal devaluation is to work, the value of debts, where they already represent a heavy burden, must be reduced. Government debt must be restructured. Bank debts have to be converted into equity and, where banks are insolvent, written off. Mortgage debts, too, must be written down.
Where I part ways with Eichengreen is here:
The mechanics of debt restructuring are straightforward. Governments can offer a menu of new bonds worth some fraction of the value of their existing obligations. Bondholders can be given a choice between par bonds with a face value equal to their existing bonds but a longer maturity and lower interest rate, and discount bonds with a shorter maturity and higher interest rate but a face value that is a fraction of existing bonds' face value.
This is not rocket science. It has been done before.
Yes, this has been done before, but I'm not at all convinced it can be done in Europe, even with financial backing from Germany and the IMF.
To oversimplify a bit, there are two different ways you can do a restructuring like this: "market-friendly" and "coercive." There's a bit of a grey area between the two, but one way of looking at the difference is that in a market-friendly restructuring, old bonds get swapped directly into new bonds, with the implied threat that if bondholders don't accept the deal, then the old bonds will simply default and stop making payments. In a coercive restructuring, the old bonds stop paying first, and then that defaulted debt gets swapped into new bonds which actually have a cashflow associated with them.
As a rule, the haircut on a coercive restructuring (think Argentina or Ecuador) is much greater than the haircut on a market-friendly restructuring (think Uruguay or Pakistan).
But in Europe, the necessary haircuts are big, just because the debt ratios are so big. The richer the country, the higher its debt can go before it has to default—and European countries, if and when they default, will be the richest countries ever to do so. What kind of debt-to-GDP ratio would Eichengreen like to see in Greece, say, post-restructuring? Is it even possible to get there with par bonds? (I'm not sure it is.) In any event, it's hard to see how a "market-friendly" restructuring could do the trick. In order to concentrate bondholders' minds, you'd need to actually default, rather than just threaten to default.
Because here's the real crux: no one knows who would win the game of chicken if the European periphery attempted a "market-friendly" restructuring. If bondholders said no, would European governments make good on their threat and go ahead and default, with all the chaos that would imply? The temptation to refuse anything but a very generous offer will be very great, since the moral-hazard trade has worked out so well so many times in the past: in extremis, bondholders always seem to get bailed out.
But given the periphery's debt levels, a very generous offer isn't good enough—not even close. Remember that the point of a restructuring is to get countries like Greece to a place where they have regained access to the markets, at sustainable interest rates which don't result in spiraling debt ratios. I find it very hard to believe that bondholders will ever voluntarily accept a deal which cuts their holdings that much—and I wonder, too, how many of them, upon receiving such a large haircut, would then turn around and start lending to Greece again, on the grounds that hey, its debt ratios look so much better now.
Engineering a successful sovereign debt restructuring in the eurozone, then, is rocket science. It hasn't been done before, and it might not even be possible. But as Eichengreen shows so clearly, that doesn't make it any less necessary.

I do agree that a restructuring is inevitable, unless the ECB will monetise the entire Euro-area debt. What intrigues me is what message that sends to other countries, especially developing ones, which are currently servicing their debt. No doubt many of them will scratch their heads and say to themselves: If rich and "respectable" countries like Greece and Ireland can default on their debt, why should we continue to pay? What are the odds of us getting away with a wee bit of a restructuring? Think of what we could finance in the way of election campaigns and other "goodies" if we could save on some of that debt servicing? End result? Vastly increased interest rates for everyone. How do we get out of this nightmare?
Another fantastic article Felix. I agree that Barry's explanation is spot on. If you can't afford debt at your current level of income than you can't afford debt at a markedly lower income.
One point I would make is that when you say: "in a market-friendly restructuring, old bonds get swapped directly into new bonds, with the implied threat that if bondholders don't accept the deal, then the old bonds will simply default and stop making payments" that is actually by definition a "coercive restructuring." The key is the implied threat. Any time an investor is making a decision under government imposed duress than they are being coerced.
What you call a "coercive restructuring" is actually a confiscatory restructuring. When your old bonds get swapped for crappier new bonds or fewer new bonds you were not coerced you were robbed.
Your choice at that point is to move on and accept what the robber has allowed you to keep or try your luck in international court. That process is sufficiently expensive and time consuming that most debt holders take the new bonds and make a mental note not to lend to that country for a few years.
Best hopes for goverments to effectively allocate the resources they have…. and to not allocate resources they don't have.
It is too soon yet for the countries to default. They have to continue to slash spending for another few years.
The critical point will be when their ongoing deficits, sans interest payments, get to zero. That will be the time when governments won't need the debt markets for new borrowing but only to roll over existing debt. That will be the time they acquire strong bargaining chips.
It is ironic but bond holders must initiate the restructuring now, they shouldn't wait and risk losing the upper hand.

The last comment is an interesting one. It has some merit to it, but it might also be the case that domestic political considerations — these are democracies, remember — will only allow a primary surplus when the countries have been cut off from new funding. Still, it's pretty clear that, one way or another, any restructuring will be insufficient if the countries can't maintain a primary surplus.
This might be grasping at straws, but when you mention that "European countries, if and when they default, will be the richest countries ever to do so," I thought to King Phillip II of Spain. It's hard to make comparisons across four-plus centuries, but it was a wealthy (by the standards of its time) country that restructured (multiple times) while largely maintaining access to financial markets. One big difference was that the lenders were not distributed; this might actually have made his job more difficult, and the moderns' less. I'm also not sure how high his debt-to-anything ratios got before he defaulted. His domestic political constraints were certainly different from those of democratic leaders, but he was hardly an absolute monarch, and in many ways his situation might have been close enough.
y2kurtus wrote: "When your old bonds get swapped for crappier new bonds or fewer new bonds you were not coerced you were robbed."
Nonsense, it is capitalism; these bondholders chose the wrong bond. Why is this different than when someone bought corporate bonds with the corporation later going Chapter 7? If you cannot take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
Iceland had the right attitude: stuff the banks and holders of debt. Customers will return; they always do.
They only reason this does not happen is that bankers are often very powerful people, knowing many leaders on a personal level. We need leaders with the courage to do the right thing; Angela Merkel is the best we have so far in the EU.
I appreciated your article but let me express some distress about the focal point in discussion.
It seems to me that the particular problems affecting european countries right now are quite different among each other: can we talk about a unique sovereign leveraged debt burden ? it´s absolutely clear that debt leverage is not an exclusive euro-periphery problem.
Then a lot of emphasis has being placed on competitiveness and productivity but we should remember that these are long-term goals that must be adressed right now but which entails necessarily delayed results.

+4 for "you remind me of a woman who was sexually abused by several people."
+8 for that tampon story. That's… kind of awesome? But also fucking disgusting and crazy. I mean, fuck that guy, what a toad, but yeah pulling out a tampon in a bar is… something. If I were a random patron, I would be displeased.
+5 because you realize you just sent someone a paragraph-long message about your best ex-girlfriend, right? Someone you are trying to date? Someone who you are implying is maybe kinda like her, but obviously not as fearless and awesome? No. That is not how you get your dick wet (or bloody, as the case may be).
+2 for "respectfully." Ha. Ok sure.
why can't I find a good looking woman with her life in order to DATE and be in a RELATIONSHIP with??? Am I too ugly? I would have thought having a stable job, place of my own, car, Harley, dog and no kids would be a good thing??? but it seems that those things don't matter. I think I am a decent looking guy. I'm not sure what I have to do to attract the right woman. I'm not picky, but yet I don't want someone that weighs more than i do. As long as you are pretty in your own way.. have all your teeth and they are not yellow… Is it too much to ask for a pretty woman that I am proud to be with and have a little arm candy??
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but being single sux a$$ and I wanna change that! I don't wanna get married right away, need to find the right one first. I'm just stressed and glad I don't own a gun… I might get depressed and do something stupid with it………
+10 for whoaaaaa suicidal! You want to know what you are doing wrong? That is what you are doing wrong.
+6 for you know what else you are doing wrong? Not caring at all about women as actual people. I mean, I can't fault you for having impossible standards (although the "no fatties" thing is kind of… come on). But maybe be more picky? Have some sense of what you want a partner to be like outside of physical appearance? Because "Sweet Jesus, ANYONE WILL DO AT THIS POINT" has gotten surprisingly few people laid.
+4 because the "right woman" is the same thing as "arm candy." LOL women. My friend said that maybe I should treat them like they're "people" and not decorative accessories. Can you believe that guy? Hilarious.
JUST WAIT. See, we're in touch with what the kids like.
Please respond with your approximate height and weight. I need it for the cage, I mean dress I'm planning on buying you.
I'm 5'8, 185 lbs, Christian, spiritual, single, monogamous, romantic, politically incorrect, Conservative Libertarian, kind of funny, a little crazy, very protective, and as a bonus, I smell a lot like love and have intelligents two - won a spielling be in gramnar skool. I'd like to meet a single white or Latina female with a pretty face who is under 5'8 and not over 200 lbs - nothing against BBWs, just don't want to get squished. Middle Eastern nymphomaniacs and Jehovah's Witnesses who are frustrated virgins are OK too. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, so even if you aren't that crazy about the way you look, I may see you differently, since I've always been the type who likes people for their qualities, but loves them for their defects, especially when I'm drunk, which is quite often. Now if your idea of a good time involves Italian Ice, cheap champagne and long passionate nights rocking the funk (69, from behind, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, all the good ones) with your sexy junk, I'll be on you like lack of pigmentation on an albino.
But seriously, I am looking for a long term relationship (but will settle for great sweaty sex with someone who douches, uses deodorant, doesn't have smelly feet, and is willing to pay attention to me for more than 30 seconds at a time), so I need a chick who will make me a priority in her life at least 2 or 3 times a week. I don't have time for games or excuses, so leave your doctor's note at home. I ain't buying it and you shouldn't be selling it sister.
Sometimes I'm a little insecure and require assurance and I can be a handful, but that's only because I have a huge heart and have always had the misfortune of hooking up with women, who seem intent on either breaking it or rolling over right after they get their tinglies. So selfish. I hate that. I do need my cuddle time and I'm not just saying that like most guys do. I will cuddle you until you file a restraining order against me. It is that serious. I will smother your ass. Clingy doesn't even begin to describe how needy I am. Some people have accused me of being bi-polar as well, but terms and descriptions have such negative connotations - I prefer emotionally spontaneous, selectively demented, delightfully unpredictable or orally gifted. Not that picky when it comes to labels.
If you live in my area and are childless, that's a big plus (one of my recurring nightmares involves a bunch of half Oriental, half-black, 100 percent snot-nosed, red-headed children tugging at my pants and calling me, "Daddy"), being single (may consider really hawt married chicks who won't cheat on me with their husband OR ANY ONE ELSE), faithful and STD free is a must. Are you moist yet? Then send me your photographs (full facial nudity appreciated - no mustaches please). If you don't, you'll never get to see me…. cause I will find you, then blind you…..
My ad was formerly known as, "Latino Still Seeking Chubby Shorty With a Pretty Face." That didn't work out too well. Some of the females who responded were scarier (not physically, but mentally) than me. Yikes!!!! So I decided to stop discriminating against wealthy benefactors, publishers and those who are calorically challenged. That's right ladies. I am now available to affluent, middle-class and impoverished women of all shapes and sizes, as long as you meet the aforementioned criteria in the preceding paragraphs and think you can handle me and my craziness. Yippee hippie!!! I feel like a kidney in a candy store. But wait, there's more!!! If you act now, you may win a date with me in knee pads. We can discuss who is going to be wearing the knee pads later.
Disclaimer: I am married —- to having fun. I'll show you the time of your life - movie, dinner and slow dancing. Then afterward, I'll go to the police and report you missing. Who'd of thought it would be so hard to find a soul mate on CL with an enticing offer like that?
Disclaimer Part Deux: Most chicks who reply don't make it past the email or texting/phone stage and the ones who do, I wish hadn't. Alas, whoa is me. Oh yes I did girlfriend. Whoa is me. See? I did it again for good measure. I'm controversial. You can't stop me. I'm out of control. Are you? If so, touche douche . That's French.
Much like its creator, this ad will remain a work in progress until it is answered, by someone who is so cute, that Hello Kitty slashes their tires out of jealousy. And when that day comes, I shall weep - tears of joy my friends. Sweet tears of joy.
Which reminds me…. Some people say, "Grace," before they eat. I say, "Helllooooooo Kitty."
+3 for TL;DR.
+5 for the opening line setting the stage for an incredibly creepy message ostensibly penned by the Abusive Boyfriend in every Lifetime movie ever.
+4 for "douches, uses deodorant and doesn't have smelly feet."
+6 for threatening to cuddle you until you get a restraining order, and then saying that it has been suggested by multiple people that he has an untreated mental illness. Hilarious! Definitely date this guy.
+8 for "one of my recurring nightmares involves a bunch of half Oriental, half-black, 100 percent snot-nosed, red-headed children tugging at my pants and calling me, "Daddy"." I can count approximately 4 different kinds of racism in that one sentence. Can you find more?
+3 for his gross oral sex joke at the end. $10 says homeboy has never been face to face with a "kitty" in his life.
+10 for that username.
+15 for holy disgusting!
+3 because do you think he likes sex?
+5 for his fantasies involving latex and vegetables.
+4 because he's German. Of course he is.
+6 for the youngest person he's ever slept with being "too dirty" to discuss. Um… that's because it was a child, wasn't it? Go to jail.
+3 for ALL CAPS.
+6 for "U JUST PRE JUDJE ME." I wouldn't say it's "pre," but yes, I have judjed you. For not being able to spell. And for using zero punctuation. And for sending me angry/sack-sad ALL CAPS messages on an internet dating site.
+8 for the kindergarten power play: I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU GOODBYE! And yet here you are, still talking.
+4 for the middle school power play: YOU ARE SO IMMATURE, GOD.
+5 for believing that any woman who doesn't want to date him — him being a clearly insane young man — is clearly an immature teenage girl and not an adult woman capable of making rational choices. I suspect even immature teenage girls do not want to date men who e-scream at them and complain that a refusal to hang out with them is being "meen."
+15 for HUMAN SACRIFICE.
+6 for sacrifice and rape. Sacrifice and THEN rape? I can't decide if that's better or worse than the opposite order.
+2 because of course his name is Edward. Is this some bizarro Twilight shit? I don't understand.
+4 because does he understand what "sacrifice" means? I suspect no, and that he thinks it's just part of some intense BDSM business. Because actually getting killed is not going to give you any boners.

Can't answer the question about the modem model. Mine is a E90-610014-06 so it's a different model than what you have.Here are the instructions I used to set my Westell modem into bridge mode: »members.verizon.net/~res08lyg/6100.htm You'll need to figure out what the IP address range is that the modem is using and set a computer to another IP address in that same range. You probably already know that if you've gotten into the modem settings already.(ignore all references to MAC filtering/cloning - the instructions were written for Verizon users)
thanks for the instructions.im looking to set this up with my router. both the router and the modem are using the same ip address. should i change one?
Yeah - I have my modem at 192.168.0.1 and the router at 192.168.1.1.
be sure to set the VPI/VCI. I had to set my zoom modem to VPI=8 and VCI=35 to work.

The Great Debate UK
from Commentaries:
Rethinking carbon diplomacy
Climate change was initially billed in a leading role at the G20 meeting in Pittsburgh. Now it looks set to make the briefest of cameo appearances.
Nonetheless, the gathering offers a crucial chance to recast the talks. The United Nations carbon process is in deep trouble and desperately needs help from the top. If the G20 heads of government want to avoid embarrassment at the Copenhagen Summit, they need to start to steer the talks in a new direction.
The first step is to move away from the flawed Kyoto model on which the talks are based. Haggling over overall emissions caps is unproductive. Nations have an incentive to push for targets that are easy to hit -- giving themselves plenty of headroom in the event of faster economic growth.
Even then, it is hard to check up on compliance, since countries like China and India lack the ability to track their emissions.
from The Great Debate:
Forget Microsoft, Yahoo's value is overseas
-- Eric Auchard is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are his own --
The fate of Yahoo Inc has become intertwined in the public's imagination with the success or failure of its dealings with Microsoft Corp in recent years.
That's despite the fact that as much as 70 percent of the value investors put on Yahoo's depressed shares are tied up in its international assets or cash holdings -- factors that have nothing to do with Microsoft.
from The Great Debate (India):
Is India ready to tackle swine flu?
With the number of swine flu fatalities in India touching double figures on Tuesday, panic is slowly setting in.
Schools, malls and cinema halls in Pune are already shut and nearly a thousand people across India have tested positive for the virus.
from The Great Debate (India):
India, Pakistan reach cautious win-win perch
By C. Uday Bhaskar
(C. Uday Bhaskar is a New Delhi-based strategic analyst. The views expressed in the column are his own)
The joint statement issued by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yusuf Raza Gilani at Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt on the sidelines of the NAM Summit has generated considerable comment in both countries and is being interpreted across a wide bandwidth that ranges from outright condemnation to cautious cheer.
from Davos Notebook:
The shift in power from West to East
One news theme I've asked our journalists to be alert to this year is the shift in power and emphasis from est to East.
The rise of China's economic power during 30 years of reform and opening to the world is just one manifestation of this; the knowledge and service powerhouse that India has come in a globalised world is another. At Davos this year I'm moderating a panel on Asian innovation that will surely highlight software advances in Japan, Korea and Thailand as well.
from The Great Debate:
Scoop! U.S. offers to cooperate with world
-- Paul Taylor is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are his own --
An American president vowing to cooperate with the rest of the world would barely be news if it did not follow eight years' of George W. Bush's tenure in the White House.
Barack Obama's inauguration address was thin on foreign policy specifics, but his pledge to work with allies and adversaries on global problems from nuclear weapons to climate change was a message many have waited impatiently to hear.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
Assessing U.S. intervention in India-Pakistan: enough for now?
In the immediate aftermath of the Mumbai attacks, India's response has been to look to the United States to lean on Pakistan, which it blames for spawning Islamist militancy across the region, rather than launching any military retaliation of its own. So after U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice's trip to India and Pakistan last week, have the Americans done enough for now?
According to Pakistan's Dawn newspaper, Rice told Pakistan there was "irrefutable evidence" that elements within the country were involved in the Mumbai attacks. And it quotes unnamed sources as saying that behind-the-scenes she "pushed the Pakistani leaders to take care of the perpetrators, otherwise the U.S. will act".
from The Great Debate:
Hidden emotions, hidden agendas
Wow, Thomas Friedman writing in the New York Times let fly with a zinger with his opinion piece "Calling all Pakistanis", presumably aimed at stirring compassion in Pakistani hearts over last week's horrifying attack in Mumbai.
Pakistanis were ready enough to take to the streets to vent their anger and indignation over cartoons in Denmark, why can't they demonstrate a shared sense of outrage over the cold-blooded killing of 171 people in the country next door, asks Friedman.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
Mumbai attack and Obama's plans for Afghanistan
As if the challenge facing President-elect Barack Obama of stabilising Afghanistan was not difficult enough, it may have just got much, much harder after the Mumbai attacks soured relations between India and Pakistan -- undermining hopes of finding a regional solution to the Afghan war.
As discussed in an earlier post, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has blamed a group outside India for the attacks which killed at least 121 people. The coordinated attacks bore the hallmarks of Pakistani-based Kashmiri militant groups like the Lashkar-e-Taiba, which India says was set up by Pakistan's spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI.
from The Great Debate:
New economies want power before paying
--Paul Taylor is a Reuters columnist, the views expressed are his own--
Anyone who expected the major emerging economies to write fat checks in exchange for being invited to the first G20 leaders' summit on rescuing the world economy will have been disappointed.
But that should only have surprised the naive.
Despite intensive lobbying by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Saudi Arabia and China, the rising powers were never likely to make a cash down-payment to the International Monetary Fund before getting more seats and votes at the top table.

Belated thoughts on why the last episode of Community was amazing
I ain't sayin she a gold digger but she did move west to california in 1849.
No. No, I can't.
12. I'd like to be Amy Poehler for a while. I wonder what its like to be that awesome.
17. You'd probably be just a tad naive if you didn't think that they exist. I think social divisions are inevitable, but I think that there are ways of balancing things out.
28. I think that depends on the situation, and depends how opinionated I'm feeling at the time. No point in hurting feelings pointlessly and insensitively, nor should I have to be shut up when I feel something needs to be said.
3. There was a period where I was having a lot of bad days because i was being silly and negative, though lately things have been pretty darn good.
6. I love Sydney. Suburb I live in is quiet, don't really talk to the neighbours and such.
7. Clean, I guess? Kind of girly but not crazy bows and glitter and shit. I like 50s silhouettes so i tend to wear skirts and stuff kind of like that.
16. Chronic popcorn-rummagers and wrapper-rustlers at the movies
26. Whenever I have a wonderful conversation with a friend that makes me forget about everything else going on, I'd say I feel truly happy. I guess not a lot happens in those moments, but I think thats why I like them.

Anthony Bourdain's Novel BONE IN THE THROAT Headed To Theaters; Dignity Film Finance Unveils Three New Titles From Its Theatrical Feature Film Development Slate
Dignity Film Finance, the Los Angeles-based film and television production company headed by finance, marketing and distribution specialist and DFF President Maggie Monteith, unveils a dynamic slate of three films the company is financing and producing this year. The titles in active development are; an adaptation of Anthony Bourdain's bestselling novel BONE IN THE THROAT produced by Lenny Beckerman (UWANTMETOKILLHIM?) and Peter Heslop (THE KING'S SPEECH); the romantic comedy CLOSER TO FINE to be directed by Joshua Michael Stern (SWING VOTE) and SPY VS. STU, an action comedy to be directed by Hervé Renoh (COURSIER).
"I am thrilled about the titles we have on our slate and the caliber of talent that are already attached," said Monteith. "As we are actively putting together all the other components on these four films I am delighted to say that the process has been a pleasure and they are all coming together exactly how I envisioned."
Beckerman first acquired the rights to BONE IN THE THROAT, a tale of murder, mayhem and the mob from Bourdain, the world famous chef and best-selling author. The wise-guy genre caper set in East London and filled with intriguing characters and wry humor will be directed by Graham Henman, marking his feature film directorial debut. British born Henman — best-known for his popular and comedic auto and beer commercials for Chevrolet, Miller Beer and Budweiser – also wrote the screenplay with Mark Townsend.
"With the exception of a few gems, Hollywood has been deficient in making a good restaurant film. With BONE IN THE THROAT, I am looking forward to doing just that and setting the film in London will allow me to take advantage of a city where the food scene is simply on fire. This film will capture my passionate love of food and the restaurant world in what I expect to be a riveting "culinary noir.""
Popular French born Renoh is directing SPY VS. STU, a buddy-style action film about the contentedly average Stu, and Victor — the world-class espionage agent who is on the hunt for an elusive arms dealer — and how their worlds collide. Renoh most recently wrote and directed the feature film COURSIER produced by Luc Besson and his Europacorp studio and is the director of multiple award-winning short films, television series and commercials for French television. The original screenplay was written by Allie Dvorin & Keith Mitchell and Gren Wells (A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN). South African based production house Film Afrika, headed by David Wicht, will be handling the physical production on the film.
Renoh explains that "I cannot overemphasize how helpful the collaborative creative process that Dignity Film Finance utilizes was in developing this project and I am thrilled to be making this film under their banner. DFF's chief creative officer Chris Heltzel and Maggie have been inspiring and instrumental."
Based on an original screenplay by Joshua Michael Stern (SWING VOTE) who will also direct, CLOSER TO FINE is produced by Scott LaStaiti (LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA) about a small town lifestyle guru who is kidnapped and blackmailed into planning a wedding for a down-on-their-luck southern family. Stern is currently in preproduction on the recently announced biopic about Steve Jobs starring Ashton Kutcher, chronicling his rise from wayward youth to co-founder of Apple. Stern made his directing debut in 2005 with NEVERWAS starring Aaron Eckhart which he followed up with SWING VOTE starring Kevin Costner for Disney. Stern is also attached to direct CARNAVAL, the R-rated comedy that will feature John Cusack and Johnny Knoxville.
Dignity Film Finance recently completed THEATRE OF DREAMS, a coming-of-age feature directed by David Scheinmann and starring Brian Cox (CORIOLANUS) as Sir Matt Busby the legendary Manchester United Football manager. International sales of the film are being handled by Intandem who launched the film at the current market. Dignity Film Finance aims to finance and produce 8-10 films per annum in the $6 to $15m range and is focused on projects with potential in all consumer product areas particularly fashion, merchandise, mobile apps, games, and music.
Monteith, President of Dignity Film Finance, is an entertainment finance, marketing and distribution veteran having worked for two decades on the distribution and marketing of more than 200 films including GODZILLA, MEN IN BLACK, STAR WARS: EPISODE II, JERRY MAGUIRE, AS GOOD AS IT GETS, CRASH, THE OPPOSITE OF SEX and THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT.
More recently Monteith executive produced the thriller 13 featuring Mickey Rourke and DARK TIDE with Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez, and produced THE EXPERIMENT for Sony. Through her partnership with Sheryl Crown and the London-based The Documentary Company, Monteith also financed and produced the acclaimed documentary SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN which won the Audience Award and a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. More recently SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN was programmed as part of last month's Tribeca Film Festival where it captured second place for the audience award and in June it will play at the Los Angeles Film Festival as well as open the prestigious Sheffield Doc/Fest in Yorkshire England. SEARCHING FOR SUGARMAN will be released by Sony Pictures Classics in July.

text: eddiemech9 5pts Sorry it took so long for anyone to reply to your comment. (hey staff, Are you paying ANY attention?)I'm restoring a 1970 AAR 'Cuda, and I know what you mean about the price of restoration parts. I think there's two reasons for this. The first is that a lot of owners are getting their cars done at professional restorers and that drives up retail prices, and the most important reason is the prices the auction houses are getting for these cars. Most Mopar enthusiasts would cringe if they knew what my plans are for my rare AAR, but I can't afford to re-do my interior back to stock. I can get after-market seats that are a lot more comfortable for a lot less than recovering them with what's on the market original. (I suffered the right front seat of a 1966 Mustang from Chicago to California and back in 1967, so the Ford's were no better). Forget about the luggage rack for now. Install it later, or get yours re-chromed.The body panels, you can't do much about,but as for the rest, do it in cycles.

The God Complex Lyrics - Singled Out
I know the truth about who you really are,
I know your worst nightmares and this tough guy facade,
So sit back and try to understand that you're less of a god,
And more of a man.
You run your mouth like we care what you say,
Tell your fucking stories, but we all know you're a fake.
Come on kid,
Let's take this up a notch,
Don't talk,
Show me just what you got.
You always know just what to say,
But when it comes down to the end,
Actions speak louder than words,
So forget everything you've heard,
I've got no time for people like you,
For words you say, and shit you pull.
sponsored linksYou only ever talk behind a wall,
Your words will build you up,
And I will tear you down.
So let's rip that smile off your face,
Broken teeth scattered everywhere,
Let's hear you talk without a tongue,
No more lies to anyone.
I'll end your life with just one word,
So forget everything you've heard,
Sit back and try to understand,
That you're less of a god and more of man.
That you're more of a man,
I'll always remember what you said,
I am a god amongst men.
Sit back and try to understand,
Sit back and try to understand,
That you are less of a god,
And more of a man.

I don't know about you, but I like making lists. I really do. I'm kind of a freak that way. And I especially enjoy lists when they have to do with things I want (thought not necessarily things I can always have). But hey, I enjoy looking at them.
Anyways, this is a list of (most) of the NARS single and duo eyeshadows I want. All of the pics and swatches come via Temptalia's Blog. I really love it, and enjoy her swatches/opinions/FOTDs! Check it out!
Anyways, things I really, really, REALLY want and probably will not have for a VERY long time (unless I win the lottery), starting wit hthe single eyeshadows:
China Blue, Tropic (singles, not a duo)
Night Porter
Night Rider
Party Monster
I don't have swatch pictures from this, but these are three things I want from the upcoming Nars Spring collection, releasing on January 15.
The eyeshadow duo is "Kuala Lumpur" and is described as a rose-gold / boysenberry color. VERY pretty. And the nail polish, since it's purple, is obviously calling my name. It is called "Purple Rain" and described as gothic purple (whatever the hell that means...). And my favorite of all is the eyeliner; it's called "Bains Douches" (Bright sky blue, silver glitter-infused hue). I'm really childish and immature, so it's quite obvious why I like the name so much. And to be perfectly honest, I initially misread it as "Brains Douches". Oh lordy.

Catwoman Beneath the Costume
I like Halle Berry, but I don't have any plans to see Catwoman (it just doesn't look that interesting). And anyway, turns out it isn't even Halle in that costume. It's some guy called Nito Larioza wearing red lipstick. Maybe Nito is also Mr. Six! You never know.

Well, apparently the only redeeming quality of the catwoman movie *watching a sexy Berry* has been shot to pieces. The movie is definetely going to tank.Posted by The Mexx on Thu Jul 22, 2004 at 03:21 AM
