The work described in the literature on inventory and supply chain management has advanced greatly over the last few decades and now covers many aspects and challenges of applied supply chain management. In this paper we describe an approach that combines many of these academic aspects in a practical way to manage the spare parts logistics at a German automobile manufacturer. The basic problem is a single-echelon inventory problem with a system-wide service-level requirement and the possibility of issuing emergency orders. There exist two related optimization problems: One is to maximize the system-wide service level under the constraint of a given budget; the other is to minimize the budget for a given system-wide service level. The most important requirements and constraints considered are a detailed cost structure, different packaging sizes, capacity constraints, several storage zones, the decision whether or not to stock a product, stochastic lead times, highly sporadic demands, and the stability of the optimization result over time. Our approach has been implemented successfully in an automotive spare parts planning environment. The complete solution package integrates into the mySAP ERP®, the SAP Enterprise Resource Planning system, and APO 4.0, the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization system. A detailed description of the model is given and results are presented.

Stayed in this hotel over a weekend to attend a funeral. Our king room was on the 3rd floor; it was very quiet, had a mini-fridge and microwave and updated HVAC. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. My brother-in-law and his wife stayed on the 4th floor and stated the rooms were outdated and the floor was loud (the management switched their room to the 3rd floor the next day). My only small complaint would be that the free buffet breakfast was not as good in quality as some Holiday Inn Expresses where I have stayed. The sausage on the first morning had more of a keilbasa flavor and the sausage on the second morning was dry and cold. The staff was all very pleasant and accommodating.

Oooo, it makes me so mad.This week I tried donating blood — twice — and was deferred — twice. Being deferred was a first, and it really bothered me.I've never been deferred before — well, okay, except for that one time I wasn't allowed to donate blood for over 20 years because I my blood was misdiagnosed with an incorrect Hepatitis B lab test result once, but that's a different story.Anyway, this week was the first time I've been deferred for an actual, legitimate reason. When the Red Cross technicians tested my blood, the iron level was a few tenths of a percentage point too low.You know how the Red Cross tests the level of iron in your blood, right?You sit there in the little privacy booth that everyone can see into and hear around, and a technician pokes the tip of your middle finger with a needle-thing like people with diabetes use when they test their blood.When a few drops of blood pop up, the technician scoops a drop into a plastic holder, then places it in a machine. A few seconds later a number appears on the read-out.If the number is too low and you want to try again, a second technician comes in and tests your blood with the middle finger of your other hand.For me as an adult male to donate blood, the number had to be at least 12.5. When I tried donating blood on Monday, the iron level didn't go any higher than 12.That night, and the next day for lunch, I made sure to eat lots of red meat.When I went in on Tuesday afternoon to try donating again, the Red Cross again had to test the tips of both my middle fingers, and the number still didn't get any higher than 12.3.Disappointed and glowering, I went back to the Gazette offices on Tuesday and showed everyone the band-aids on the tips of my two fingers to prove I had at least tried to donate blood.I could tell pretty quickly everyone was really offended I had been deferred, too.As I walked around showing everyone my band-aids, some people said, "Well, I never!" and "The nerve!"I don't quite understand why two women slapped me, and three guys belted me in the stomach. They must have been having bad days or something.Anyway, having low iron is something you can do something about. The next time the bloodmobile is in town, I plan to spend the week before eating lots of iron-rich foods like red meat, beans, broccoli, whole grain breads, raisins....Dang. I just went and made myself hungry.

Icarus is a Greek myth about a boy named Icarus and his father, Daedalus. The sea of Icaria is famous for it is where Icarus supposedly died in his flight with Daedalus. The story of Icarus generally popular and is constantly used as reminders to ourselves not to be cocky and listen to our elders.
There are many versions of the story about Icarus and Daedalus, but I have chosen two to show you.
Story 1: Daedalus built the labyrinth for King Minos, but afterwards lost the favor of the king, and was shut up in a tower. He contrived to make his escape from his prison, but could not leave the island by sea, as the king kept strict watch on all the vessels, and permitted none to sail without being carefully searched. "Minos may control the land and sea," said Daedalus, "but not the regions of the air. I will try that way." So he set to work to fabricate wings for himself and his young son Icarus. He wrought feathers together, beginning with the smallest and adding larger, so as to form an increasing surface. The larger ones he secured with thread and the smaller with wax, and gave the whole a gentle curvature like the wings of a bird. Icarus, the boy, stood and looked on, sometimes running to gather up the feathers which the wind had blown away, and then handling the wax and working it over with his fingers, by his play impeding his father in his labors. When at last the work was done, the artist, waving his wings, found himself buoyed upward, and hung suspended, poising himself on the beaten air. He next equipped his son in the same manner and taught him how to fly, as a bird tempts her young ones from the lofty nest into the air. When all was prepared for flight he said, "Icarus, my son, I charge you to keep at a moderate height, for if you fly too low the damp will clog your wings, and if too high the heat will melt them. Keep near me and you will be safe." While he gave him these instructions and fitted the wings to his shoulders, the face of the father was wet with tears, and his hands trembled. He kissed the boy, not knowing that it was for the last time. Then rising on his wings, he flew off, encouraging him to follow, and looked back from his own flight to see how his son managed his wings. As they flew the ploughman stopped his work to gaze, aid the shepherd leaned on his staff and watched them, astonished at the sight, and thinking they were gods who could thus cleave the air. "They passed Samos and Delos on the left and Lebynthos on the right, when the boy, exulting in his career, began to leave the guidance of his companion and soar upward as if to reach heaven. The nearness of the blazing sun softened the wax which held the feathers together, and they came off. He fluttered with his arms, but no feathers remained to hold the air. While his mouth uttered cries to his father it was submerged in the blue waters of the sea which thenceforth was called by his name. His father cried, "Icarus, Icarus, where are you?" At last he saw the feathers floating on the water, and bitterly lamenting his own arts, he buried the body and called the land Icaria in memory of his child. Daedalus arrived safe in Sicily, where he built a temple to Apollo, and hung up his wings, an offering to the god."
Story 2: The island of Crete was ruled by King Minos, whose reputation for wickedness had spread to every shore. One day he summoned to his country a famous inventor named Daedalus. "Come, Daedalus, and bring your son, Icarus, too. I have a job for you, and I pay well." King Minos wanted Daedalus to build him a palace, with soaring towers and a high, curing roof. In the cellars there was to be a maze of many corridors- so twisting and dark that any man who once ventured in there would never find his way out again. "What it is for?" asked Daedalus. "Is it a treasure vault? Is it a prison to hold criminals?" But Minos only replied, "Build my labyrinth as I told. I pay you to build, not ask questions." So Daedalus held his tongue and set to work. When the palace was finished, he looked at it with pride, for there was nowhere in the world so fine. But when he found out the purpose of the maze in the cellar, he shuddered in horror.
For at the heart of that maze, King Minos put a creature that was half man, half beast-a thing almost too horrible to describe. He callled in the Minotaur, and he fed it on men and women! Then Daedalus wanted to leave Crete at once, and forget both maze and Minotaur. So he went to King Minos to ask for his money. "I regret," said King Minos, " I cannot let you leave Crete, Daedalus. You are the only man who knows the secret of the maze and how to escape from it. The secret must never leave this island. So I'm afraid I must keep you and Icarus here a while longer." "How much longer?" gasped Daedalus. "Oh, just until you die," replied Minos cheerfully. "But never mind. I have plenty of work for a man as clever as you." Daedalus and Icarus lived in great comfort in King Minos's palace. But they lived the life of prisoners. Their rooms were in the tallest palace tower, with beautiful views across the island. They ate delectable food and wore expensive clothes. But at night the door of their fine apartment was locked, and a guard stood outside. It was a comfortable prison, but it was a prison, even so. Daedalus was deeply unhappy. Every day he put seed out on the windowsill for the birds. He like to study their brilliant colors, the clever overlapping of their feathers, the way they soared on the sea wind. It comforted him to think that they at least were free to come and go. The birds had only to spread their wings and they coould leave Crete behind them, whereas Daedalus and Icarus must stay forever in their luxurious cage. Young Icarus could not understand his father's unhappiness. "But I like it here," he said. "The King gives us gold and this tall tower to live in." Daedalus groaned. "But to work for suck a wicked man, Icarus! And to be prisoners all our days!...We shan't stay. We shan't!" "But we can't get away, can we?" said Icarus. " How can anybody escape from an island? Fly?" He snorted with laughter. Daedalus did not answer. He scratched his head and stared out of the window at the birds pecking seed on the sill. From that day onward, he got up early each morning and stood at the open window. When a bird came for seed, Daedalus begged it to spare him one feather. Then each night, when everyone else had gone to be, Daedalus worked by candlelight on his greatest invention of all. Early mornings. Late nights. A whole year went by. Then one morning, Icarus was awakened by his father shaking his shoulder. "Get up, Icarus, and don't make a sound. We are leaving Crete." "But how? It's impossible!" Daedalus pulled out a bundle from under his bed. " I've been making something, Icarus." Inside were four great folded fans of feathers. He stretched them out on the bed. They were wings! "I sewed the feathers together with strands of wool from my blanket. Now hold still." Daedalus melted down a candle and daubed his son's shoulders with sticky wax. " Yes, I know it's hot, but it will soon cool." While the wax was still soft, he stuck two of the wing to Icarus's shoulder blades. "Now you must help me put on my wings, Son. When the wax sets hard, you and I will fly away from here, as free as birds!" "I'm scared!" whispered Icarus as he stood on the narrow window ledge, his knees knocking and his huge wings drooping down below. The royal guards looked as small as ants. "This won't work!" "Courage, Son!" said Daedalus. " Keep your arms out wide and fly close to me. Above all- are you listening, Icarus?" "Y-y-yes, Father." "Above all, don't fly too hight! Don't fly too close to the sun!" "Don't fly too close to the sun," Icarus repeated, with his eyes tight shut. Then he gave a cry as his father nudged him off the windowsill. He plunged downward. With a crack, the feathers behind him filled with wind, and Icarus found himself flying. Flying! "I'm flying!" he crowed. The guards looked up in astonishment, and wagged their swords, and pointed and shouted, " Tell the king! Daedalus and Icarus are...are...flying away!" By dipping first one wing, then another, Icarus found that he could turn to the left and the right. The wind tugged at his hair. His legs trailed out behind him. He saw the fields and streams as he had never seen them before! Then they were out over the sea. The sea gulls pecked at him angrily, so Icarus flew higher, where they could not reach him. He copied their shrill cry and taunted him: "You can't catch me!" "Now remember, don't fly too high!" called Daedalus, but his words were drowned by the screaming of the gulls. I'm the first boy ever to fly! I'm making history! i shall be famous! thought Icarus, as he flew up and up higher and higher. At last Icarus was looking the sun itselft in the face. "Think you're the highest thing in the sky, do you?" he jeered. "I can gly just as high as you! Higher, even!" He did not notice the drops of sweat on his forehead: He was so determined to out fly the sun. Soon its vast heat beat on his face and on his back and on the great wings stuck on with wax. The wax softened. The wax trickled. The wax dripped. Once feather came unstuck. Then a plume of feathers fluttered slowly down. Icarus stopped flapping his wings. His father's words came back to him clearly now: "Don't fly too close to the sun!" With a great sucking noise, the wax on his shoulders came unstuck. Icarus tried to catch hold of the wings, but they just folded up in his hands. He plunged down, his two fists full of feathers-down and down and down. The clouds did not stop his fall. The sea gulls did not catch him in their beacks. His own father could only watch as Icarus hurtled head first in the glittering sea and sank deep down among the sharks and eels and squid. And all that was left of proud Icarus was a litter of waxy feathers floating on the sea.

Galaxy GeForce GTS 450 Super OC 1GB Video Card
PhysX Tests
Here we're able to find out when PhysX is turned on in games that support it what kind of frame rates we're able to get. We always set PhysX to the highest possible in game settings while also keeping detail at its highest.
Across the board we see the card struggles in dealing with PhysX in game, no matter what resolution we're at. In saying that, we're right on the edge at 1680 x 1050 which is fairly impressive; a 29 FPS minimum and 59 FPS average we would call playable.

Linking up with Jen again for this week's Friday Five! She did a NYC Marathon edition on her blog today. Check it out and wish her good luck as she will be running this weekend! It's my dream race and I've applied four years in a row with no luck. I don't know why Canadians have such a hard time getting in but I'm going to keep trying until it happens!!
My Friday Five this week is going to feature things I've seen online or on Instagram that I want/need/am in love with.
1. This Definitely Raining Jacket from Lululemon. I absolutely LOVE the cranberry colour. It comes in five other more subtle colours too. Another jacket is the last thing I need…but look at it. LOOK AT IT.
2. Jen's Chipotle Pumpkin Veggie Burgers. I'll admit that I don't go crazy over all things pumpkin this season but I predict that these burgers would be an exception.
3. These grey Adidas Ultra Boosts that are impossible to find in Toronto. They were on the Sport Chek website yesterday but were completely sold out online. When I went to do a store inventory check, they were sold out in-store as well. I don't even know if I'd like the shoes but people have been raving about them…and the fact that they're sold out makes me want them even more. We always want what we can't have, huh?
4. @thedesignchaser on Instagram. I still haven't made a lot of big decisions when it comes to the interior of my new place. The pre-existing floors have been ripped out but now I'm trying to figure out what I want to replace them with. I keep going back and forth between dark and light hardwood. I'm pretty sure I'll be gutting the kitchen and replacing that too so I need to decide on cabinetry, tiles and backsplash. I do know I like black, white and different shades of grey so that's why Michelle's account drew me in.
5. This Alex and Ani "What's For You Will Not Pass You" bangle. Thinking I may need this as a daily reminder.
I'm off to pick up my race kit for this weekend's runmore 10k! Have a great Friday and weekend! 😀

Peak Programme Meter
From IPS_FAQ
(Redirected from PPM)
The Peak Programme Meter or PPM was originally developed by the BBC in the 1930s to monitor programme levels in radio. See the article on Metering in the Audio Compendium. Its specification is defined in an EBU Technical Document 3205.
|PPMs may have mechanical (moving needle or pointer) or electrical (LEDs, LCD, VFD bargraph) displays. The mechanical type is characterised by a scale of white numbers on a black background. The "classic" BBC type has a scale from 1 to 7. Other broadcasters use different markings. See the Level Meter entry in these FAQs.

The Prime Rib Roast is an elegant meal to serve for the upcoming holidays. The selection, preparation and planning of the meal calls out for a celebration!
A meal this special deserves the very best wine – Kit's Killer cab, Cabernet Sauvignon. Share this meal with your friends and family this holiday season.
*Standing Rib Roast with Rosemary & Garlic Rub
Prime Rib Roast – 2 bone is roughly 6 lbs. Serves 4 to 6 people
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp. Clif Family Winery Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Tbsp. Chopped Fresh Rosemary
1.5 Tbsp. Coarse Sea Salt
1 Tbsp. Coarse Black Pepper
PreparationPreheat oven to 450 F.
While oven is preheating, keep your roast out at room temperature. Ideally, you want your roast to be close to room temperature when you place in the oven. This step allows for even cooking. Place your roast on a rack in a roasting pan and prepare the rub. Combine the minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, sea salt and pepper and mix until it resembles a paste. Rub the rosemary garlic mixture on all sides of the roast except for the rib side which is face down in the roasting pan. Place in the hot oven for 20 minutes. This step creates the beautiful crust of the Prime Rib. After 20 minutes reduce the temperature to 275 F. Do not open the oven and let the heat escape, the roast will slowly cook for about 1.5 hours until it reaches 125 F for rare, 130F for medium rare.
Transfer your roast to a platter and tent for 20 minutes to allow the juices to settle. Carve your roast tableside. It is best to insert your knife along the 2 rib bones at the base of the roast to separate the larger piece of meat.
Carve each slice about ½ inch thick and serve the rib bones alongside the slices. Serve with Horseradish Cream. Either prepared or grate fresh from Horseradish Root. I grate mine fresh, and combine with a little sour cream, chives and lemon juice. The perfect wine to serve with this wonderful meal is Clif Family Wineries, Kit's Killer Cab!

Summer Vegetables make a delicious dish called "Ratatouille". The name "Ratatouille" is translated from the French word of "Mix". Fresh summer vegetables are sautéed separately and then slowly simmer with fresh herbs. The eggplant is emphasized and is the base of the dish. This recipe was adapted from the "The Food of France" and it one of my favorite comfort foods! This time I decided to add some beautiful prawns in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Enjoy with a cold, crisp glass of Clif Family Winery's 2011 Dry Riesling.
Serves 4
1 eggplant diced – Large Globe
2 zucchini diced
2 red bell peppers – ( I roast and peel)
1 large yellow onion
4 Large Tomatoes or 12 oz.canned, diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Clif Family Winery
1 Bay Leaf
3 Fresh Thyme Sprigs
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Score, blanch and peel the tomatoes, chop roughly and set aside. Heat 1 Tbsp. of Olive Oil and add onion, sauté for 5 minutes. Add the roasted, peeled red bell peppers. Remove both from pan and add 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil and sauté the eggplant until soft, remove and do the same with the zucchini. Return all the vegetables to the skillet and add the tomato paste, stir well and cook 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme and basil, stir well and cover for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and add 3/4 lbs. of large prawns and cook covered for an additional 5 minutes. Add the garlic and parsley at the last step, stir and serve. Enjoy!

It's wild salmon season! Salmon is my favorite fish – it's easy to prepare, good for you and lends itself to many wonderful preparations. I have tried cooking salmon many different ways, but the recipe below is an all-time favorite. Pair this meal with the 2010 Rte Blanc Sauvignon Blanc.
This method yields a melt in your mouth texture and it is a medium rare finish ( slightly translucent in the center).
Wild Sockeye or King Salmon – 2 four ounce fillets – ( run your fingers over the top lightly and pull out any fine bones)1 Tablespoon of unsalted butter softened
1 Tablespoon fresh dill
1 Lemon – 1/4 inch slices
Sea Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 400 F. Set your oven timer to 8 minutes once it has reached 400 F. Spread the softened unsalted butter over the salmon filets. Season with sea salt and fresh chopped dill. Cover the salmon with the fresh lemon slices. The lemon will keep your salmon moist as it bakes.
Salmon should be ready in 8 minutes. Results will be a slight orange middle indicating a medium rare finish. If you desire a more well done fish or if your fillet is extra thick, continue for 2 or more minutes. Serve with fresh blanched green beans and diced parsley potatoes.

3 Lemons
2 Limes
2 Nectarines
1 Climber Pouch – Cabernet SauvignonSpanish Brandy – 1/3 cup
Superfine sugar – 1/3 cup
Ice Cubes, to serve
Wash citrus and slice and then quarter. Measure out half the citrus and nectarine slices and muddle with the brandy. Refrigerate the muddled fruit, Climber Pouch and reserved fruit for 2 hours.
When ready to serve, pour the wine, muddled fruit and sugar into a large glass pitcher stirring until dissolved. Taste the Sangria and adjust the sugar if desired.
Serve each glass with served fruit slices, brandy soaked fruit and the Sangria. So refreshing!

Many of my Family Celebrations are spent gathering around a wonderful dish called Paella. My obsession with this dish began 5 years ago after trying some Paella at a friends house and fell in Love.
The aroma of smoked paprika, the different textures of the meats and vegetables all slowing simmering for hours was such a treat. I slowly built my collection of Paella Pans, Paella
stands and the various recipes I would try. Now I am even making it on the campsite. I think it is time for an even larger pan. This pan serves 14 and is 20 inches in diameter.
Pairs with our 2010 Grenache
2 cups Bomba or Valencia Rice
4 cups Chicken or Fish Stock
1 cup of White Climber Wine
4 Tablespoons of the Clif Family Farm Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Spanish Saffron
2 lbs. of Bilbao Chorizo, sliced in 1/2 rounds
1 piece of chicken thigh per person, best if left on bone with the skin
2 Tbsp. Sweet Smoked Spanish Paprika
2 Tbsp. Hot Smoked Spanish Paprika
4 cloves of Garlic
2 cups of chopped Spanish Onion
2 cups of Fresh Green Beans, cut in 1.5 inch segments
1 cup of peas
1 cup of sliced red piquillo peppers
1 cup fresh grated Tomato
1 lb. of mussels
1 lb. of clams
2 lbs. of 16/20 Shrimp, Shell on, Deveined
Italian Parsley and Lemons for Garnish
Toast the saffron in a small pan about 3 minutes until fragrant and add the cup of wine. Set aside. Meanwhile heat stock in a saucepan and cover. Heat Paella Pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
Cook chicken until brown on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Without removing chicken, add sliced chorizo and cook an additional 10 minutes. Remove chicken and chorizo in a separate pan to rest.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the oil and sauté until translucent, then add rice stirring until well coated. Next, add the hot and sweet paprika, hot chicken stock and wine with saffron. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. After about 15 minutes of simmering, you can begin to add the mussels, clams, cooked chicken and chorizo. Stir a little to incorporate evenly. Once the rice looks a little drier, add the shrimps, green beans, peas, peppers. Be sure to tuck the shrimp into the rice. At this point, I like to cover the pan with foil and let it cook another 10 minutes. The rice will begin to caramelize at the bottom of the pan but not burn. Remove foil to see if the shrimps are cooked, let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a lemon wedges. Enjoy with the Clif Family Winery newly released Grenache!
Special Note: This recipe was adapted from the "The Spanish Table" Recipe Collection
In addition, all the spices, rice, chorizo and Paella cookware can be found in their stores and website

In this paper, we make a study of the statistical approach for optimal watermark coefficients in HVS-based blind watermarking system and experiment in proposed TSDA (Two-Step Detection Algorithm) watermarking system. The watermark gain, alpha is optimized in robustness, invisibility, and capacity. We extract a watermark gain, alpha considering that BER is less than 20%, MPSNR is more than 43 dB (or PSNR is more than 38 dB), and C(capacity) is half of the full capacity of image. This optimal watermark gain, alpha, improve the performance of watermark systems. TSDA consists of two processes. In embedding, each bit is inserted in a PN spreading pattern in 12 positions of DCT coefficients of an 8times8 block. In detection process, a preliminary decision is obtained by correlation matching and then verified by choosing the more similar spreading pattern with the restored one. Most of bit errors are corrected in verification process. The proposed method has been tested for several test images, with attacks including lowpass/median filtering and JPEG compression, but excluding geometrical RST attacks. After verification, BER reduces to 0.5% with no attack. Even under heavy JPEG compression, BER stays lower than 9%. Compared with other methods, the proposed method - optimal watermark and TSDA - is better in watermark detection

35 Years of Muscle Come Screeching to a Halt
By MARSHALL SCHUON
Published: October 10, 2001
THE Web site for Pontiac's Firebird says, ''The muscle car LIVES!'' But it is not quite the truth. The Firebird and its Chevy twin, the Camaro, have suffered from falling sales over the last decade, and General Motors announced last month that the 2002 models would be the last, ending a run of 35 years.
In addition, G.M. will shutter the plant that has built these icons of American automotive performance. Technically, of course, the cars are foreign imports, because the plant is in Quebec. But that is of little moment to the legion of Camaro and Firebird fans who consider the coupes and convertibles to be as American as apple pie (to quote one of Chevy's old ad campaigns).
The ''Cambirds,'' as the twins are known to their loyal owners, were introduced to compete in the pony car market, pioneered by -- and named after -- Ford's Mustang, which had made its debut at the 1964 New York World's Fair. These pony cars were sporty, small, appealing and versatile in their options.
Engines in those early cars ranged from mild straight-sixes to potent V-8's, and pricing went from entry level -- $2,466 for a basic Camaro -- to what was then a fairly pricey $3,177 for a Firebird 400 with full options. As with the Mustang, that flexibility made the cars an instant hit.
About half of those early models were bought by women as sporty ''personal'' cars. But the fact that you could actually order the equivalent of a factory hot rod drew a large coterie of young men to the Camaros and Firebirds. People like Frank Liberi of Haddonfield, N.J., for example.
''I bought one just a year after they came out,'' Mr. Liberi said. ''It was a '68, a Firebird 400 in autumn bronze, which I always thought of as burnt orange. Unfortunately, I'd only had it for a month when I got drafted and went to Vietnam.''
While he was there, though, that car became more than just a pretty set of wheels with a whiz-bang engine. It was a symbol of home and something to hold in his dreams.
''As a matter of fact,'' he said, ''when I got back, I met a guy I'd been in Vietnam with, and he said, 'All right, I've heard about this car for a year; let's go out and see what it can do.'
''So we went out on the proverbial unfinished freeway, and I started opening it up on the ramp. And I spin the wheels in first gear; I get rubber going into second, and I'm winding it up in second gear, pulling up onto the freeway -- and there's a cop! He obviously saw what we were doing, and he just rode behind me, and then he pulls up alongside and gives me a happy smile. And then he just tears off down the road. Everybody liked that car.''
Mr. Liberi wishes he had kept the 335-horsepower 'Bird, but he traded it for a 1971 Camaro, a yellow Z28 coupe, the first of the restyled F-bodies, as the cars were known inside G.M. That car yielded in 1980 to a top-of-the-line Firebird, a black Trans Am, which Mr. Liberi still has.
''Of all the cars,'' he said, ''the Z28 had the best engine. I used to turn off the radio just to listen to it.''
The 1971 model was not redesigned for almost a dozen years, an incredibly long time in a business where change is a constant. When a new look did come, in 1982, it again proved amazingly durable, lasting 11 years until the final redesign in 1993.
For 2002, the last Camaro will offer a 35th anniversary SS coupe and convertible, with rally red paint, wide silver hood stripes and special wheels. Firebird will bid farewell with a Collector Edition, featuring yellow paint and the return of the ''screaming chicken'' decal on the hood.
That stylized image made the Firebird particularly recognizable as the wild and gutsy car of the 1970's, helped in large measure in 1977 by the popular movie, ''Smokey and the Bandit.''
The next year was Firebird's best, with sales of 188,212. Camaro peaked in 1979, with sales of 282,571, but production of both cars has dwindled since, a victim of economics and the public whim. Last year, only 31,000 Firebirds were sold; Camaro sales had fallen to 42,000.
Demand in the sport segment of the car market decreased by 53 percent from 1990 to 2000, according to Rick Baldick, brand manager for Camaro, and the reasons are elusive.
''When you look at all the information about where all these buyers went,'' Mr. Baldick said, ''you can't put your finger on one item and say 'This is the cause.' ''
Certainly, he said, the booming truck market is one factor. But four-door ''sport'' sedans with more space and functionality -- like Pontiac's own Grand Prix -- have also taken a bite. Then, too, competition from sporty entries from abroad, like the Mitsubishi Eclipse, have cut into sales, as have sport utility vehicles.
Pontiac's official historian offered his own take on the declining fortunes of Firebird and Camaro. He is John Sawruk, a director of engineering for G.M., whose passion for Pontiacs led the corporation to turn him loose as a walking-talking font of lore. His main function is public speaking, but he is also available whenever esoterica is required.
''I've been doing this since 1983,''' he said, ''but I go way back with Firebirds. And one of the things, for many years, is that the cars have been synonymous with performance. If you look at the early photos, those first cars are very low to the ground. And you ask, how could you drive a car like that? Well, the answer is you couldn't. But they threw sandbags in the trunk and under the hood to get the cars really low for the press photos.''
IN any case, he said, Firebird and Camaro have concentrated for years on a strong muscular image and that has had both positive and negative results.
''There was the old line: 'Pontiac Sells Excitement,' '' Mr. Sawruk said. ''And it really did sell. But there has been a market shift away from strict performance cars.''
The Ford Mustang continues to sell well. But many of those sales are of lower-performance versions, Mr. Sawruk said. Buyers looking for the low-performance version of Firebirds tend to buy Pontiac Sunfires, Mr. Sawruk said.
Moreover, insurance costs on muscle cars are high, and then there is that lingering desire to personalize vehicles, which today is easier with trucks, with their multiplicity of options.
''When I was a kid, not many people did trucks,'' Mr. Sawruk said. ''Now everybody does trucks.''
Photos: Even as they face extinction, the Camaro Z28, above, and the Firebird Trans Am, right, remain American icons. In the 70's, drivers wanted muscle. Today, they want something practical.; The design for the 1982 Camaro Z28, above, was durable, lasting until 1993.

Skip to comments.Obama says he Ignored Beck rally

Obama says he ignored Beck rally
He seemed intent on casting himself as above the political fray, saying he had more important work to do than to engage in the back and forth of the political silly season.
For example, Obama said he did not watch any of Fox News Channel host Glenn Becks Restoring Honor rally Saturday on the National Mall.
Its not surprising that somebody like a Mr. Beck is able to stir up a certain portion of the country. That's been true throughout our history, he said. But Im making decisions that are not necessarily good for the nightly news and not good for the next election, but for the next generations.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
What if a President said THIS: Its not surprising that somebody like a Dr. King is able to stir up a certain portion of the country. That's been true throughout our history, he said.
Of course he won't watch Beck!
He'll order one of his lackies to do the 'grisly' deed./sarc
But you see - Beck in not MLK - Beck is merely a White Guy and thus not important... a second class citizen Beck is - not of he Anointed Elite as is Obama
"...the political silly season.
That will be in November when you are made to look more than just silly. Silly? Yeah, in a kind of wispy, little Urkelish way, "silly" is how you will look.
That's cause he was watching the whole thing on Cspan LOL
I certainly hope The Won continues to ignore "certain portions of the country, history and the "silly season."
His arrogance will bite him in the behind.
I think not! I doubt the next few generations are going to appreciate paying for Obama's failed policy decisions and enjoying a poorer standard of living than their parents or grandparents.
" Obama says he Ignored Beck rally "
Makes perfect sense - Obama has ignored virtually every important event during his presidency...
So, therefore, by ignoring it, Mr O has just confirmed that the Beck Rally was an important event....
What a shock that this Leftist ignored Beck just the way he ignores Christianity and going to Church on Sundays.
Ignore.....ignorant....ignoramus you betcha! Lets see if he can ignore us on election day
Im making decisions that are not necessarily good for the nightly news and not good for the next election, but for the next generations.
Ummm...by mandating that future generations will have to pay for your crazy-ass healthcare plan, on top of the deficit of trillions. Yeah, great foresight there, champ.
Yeah, thanks for impoverishing my kids you asshole.
Im making decisions that are not necessarily good for the nightly news and not good for the next election, but for the next generations.
Well it will certainly take generations to fix the results of your "decisions".
A third of a million American people rally, and he "ignores" them. He doesn't, of course, he marginalizes them. And then he yaps about characters who "stir up a portion of the country" -- which was how he manged to get his scrawney, useless ass elected.
And then goes on to ascend the throne of the potentate of humanity and shaper of destinies.
How long, O Lord, must we suffer this idiot?
Like hell he did.
And yes, he knows all about stirring up a certain portion of the country.
By the way, it's him who now seems to be bugged about his birth certificate. No one brought it up - he did.
So what he's saying is that he couldn't care less about the Special Operations Warrior Foundation?
Excellent point.
What a guy! How could we be so lucky? /s
"Snif sniff, Mr. Beck and his hundred thousand odd malcontents are beneath our notice. Let 'em drink tea."
Is it just me, or does this guy sound like Little Lord Fauntleroy moved into the White House?
Just what the vast majority of hard working, tax paying, VOTING Americans LOVE in their elected leadership: Being IGRNORED!
This is a great quote - very telling. I actually think he wants everyone to spend all their time with his "birth certificate" plastered on their forehead.
What an arrogant, feckless putz! Go get some more ice cream, fool. Go play more midnight basketball, nobama.
This is not news. Zero has made a whole career of ignoring the majority.
Elitist jackass.
..." the sturdiness and swiftness of the response to the oil spill "
zer0 actually believes his own BullSh!t
Yup, he's out there buying votes again with OUR MONEY!!!!
Well of course he did. He ignores Americans and does whatever the heck he wants! We witnessed it first hand over the healthcare bill, to name one isnstance. Why did this reporter even feel the need to ask something we all know the answer to.
He ignores at his and his party's peril.
Voted best POST of the day! Send this to RUSH for tomorrow!!
Its not surprising that somebody like a Dr. King is able to stir up a certain portion of the country. Thats been true throughout our history, he said.
Well of course he did. He ignores Americans and does whatever the heck he wants! We witnessed it first hand over the healthcare bill, to name one instance. Why did this reporter even feel the need to ask something we all know the answer to.
He ignores at his and his party's peril.
After Zeroman appeared on The View, Neil Cavuto observed that Obama first claimed to never listen to any of the criticism but then proceeded to enumerate every critical thing that anybody ever said about him.
To deliberately ignore something is to be keenly aware of its existence.
Of course he ignored it. He has been ignoring U.S. citizens since he has been in office.
Barry is getting all wee-weed up and acting stupidly.
Funny thing about "ignoring" something. It means that a lot of emotional energy was expended pretending the "ignored" object does not exist.
he's not going to run again.
what President would say that he doesn't care about the nightly
news or the next election but "generations" from now?
Perhaps they are principled but they would never say it aloud.
Um, we can repeal all your crap sir, it's in the rules!
The really outrageous thing about this comment is that the Beck rally was not political in nature. It was a simple, non-political, non-partisan celebration of patriotism, our American military, and Christianity. And the President of the United States refers to such a rally as "stirring" up people? This bastard is sick, sick, sick. I hope this sound bite comes back to haunt him in 2012.
Let us hope the Soros buttboy finds himself neutered after November 2. Pretending to ignore the truth before your eyes is a good way to foster it's triumph.
0bama ignores the people a lot.
Please don't take offense, but little Lord Fauntleroy was a kind and loving boy. More of the type like G. W. Bush. Please read the book or see the movie. You'll love him.
But even if he does, it will simply to be to move on to his larger agenda - the world. U.N. SecGen term expires 12/31/11.

Mexican Police Display Drug Kingpin 'La Barbie'
In the U.S., when the police want to display a suspect for journalists and the wider public, they commonly do a "perp walk," showing off the alleged perpetrator as they walk him to the vehicle transporting him to and from jail.
In Mexico, like many other places in the world, police and prosecutors put the captured alleged bad guy on display in a set piece that often features masked police officers or members of the military who in a show of force flank the now hapless and powerless suspect.
On Tuesday it was the turn of the alleged narcotics trafficker and gang leader Edgar Valdez Villarreal, 37, who was born and raised in the U.S. but decided to make his fortune, ill-gotten according to authorities, in Mexico. Actually, though he lived in Mexico, much of his fortune came from the U.S. where the drugs his gang trafficked were sold.
Known as "La Barbie" or the Barbie doll because of his blue eyes and fair skin, he has a reputation for ruthlessness, alleged to be responsible for many executions and beheadings. The U.S. had placed a $2 million bounty on his capture, as did Mexico.
While La Barbie is now in custody, we've seen this movie before. His arrest has clearly left an opening for others to become the new kingpins.

Wolf Jaws are a praticulary aggressive style of Camel Toe. Identified by their narrow but deep grip on blue jeans or other groin region fabric, they offer an attractive alternative to a standard fatty foupa.

Top Definition
the descriptive term used to illustrate a vaginal region which has the following characteristics 1) unsanitary appearance 2) abundant pubic hair 3) gnarly pussy lips and possibly 4) putrid odor. If a female has any of the two previously stated characteristics she may be relegated to either a whore or an extremely indiscriminate female. Coital relationship with a woman of this stature is unacceptable by an appreciable well dignified male.
I met this chick at the bar last night but after we arrived at my house and got naked I could clearly see she had a nasty ass wolfjaw below the belt.

Quiet, large room
We stayed for only one night and had to leave early morning so didn't get to try the proper breakfast on offer but the owner provided us with some take-away items, which was nice.The b&b was easy to find as it's almost opposite the bus stop(Line 1).Bear in mind you might need to wait for someone to let you in as there is no reception.
It was ok for us but I wonder what it would be like in the rain..?The owner welcomed us warmly, explained the way to the old town and recommended some eating places-we will be eternally grateful to her as we had the best meal of our trip in a restaurant suggested by her!The room was large, with a comfy bed and a massive bathroom. Keep in mind that even though there is a bathtub, you can't use it,only the shower above it(at least that's what we found). There was a lovely backyard/garden right outside our room so if we stayed longer, we'd definitely relax on the hammock there. This b&b is a short walk uphill to the old town,we totally didn't mind as it's a pleasant walk but it might be a problem for the elderly or those with mobility problems.All in all, we enjoyed it!

Most Helpful
Quick! Easy! Popular!
I made this with Toffutti Better'n Cream Cheese since dairy doesn't sit well with me, Hershey's Special Dark cocoa, and fat-free cool whip. I used my stand mixer for smoothest results. I *added* 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter with the cream cheese, and put it in an oreo (chocolate) crust. Twice this month. Did I mention it was popular? The more freezing time, the better; 20 minutes just wasn't as good as later.
Very Good! It also holds the pie shape which is great!
This is wonderful! I made a few changes, scaled it back for six servings, and used the mini graham cracker crusts. I also added 1/2 of a cup of melted chocolate chips, used reduced fat cream cheese and fat free cool whip. I eliminated the regular sugar and used a natural sugar substitute, eight packets in all. I also added a tad more cocoa powder, and put meringue on the tops. We haven't eaten them yet, but I've tasted the mousse, and it is amazing! Thanks FruitLoop!!!!!

I recently got a High Noon Bare Asset to fulfill my IWB needs for my S&W 638. http://www.highnoonholsters.com/Prod...are_asset.html They cost under 30 bucks, and can get to you in under a week. I've also seen a lot of people on here using the Mister Softy, which is the same without a cant.
I haven't seen any problems with this holster yet. It gets used when for some reason I don't want to strap on the 1911. Retention is good with it, the holster is pretty versatile, and easy to put on/take off. It's thin and does a pretty good job of concealing if you find a good spot for it along your belt. The material it is out of seems to be able to take a beating too. My only other attempt at IWB with this pistol was an ambi Uncle Mike's nylon rig, I bought when I was new to carrying, needless to say that one didn't really work. But I got this one for around the samee price as the Uncle Mike's and it is vastly superior.
As far as no cover garment, I assume you mean no dedicated one (like a vest of jacket), I used this holster with just jeans and a t-shirt, and it did just fine.

Ariel Castro pleads guilty in Ohio kidnap case
The Cleveland man who imprisoned three women in his home, subjecting them to a decade of rapes and beatings, pleaded guilty Friday in a deal to avoid the death penalty.
Deek: Well, well, well. Look at this. Susan Sarandon is NOT going to Vote for Hildabeast! Atleast, a liberal with some, (some) brains. Let me guess libs she's nuts too? Its everyone else who's crazy, not you lunes! Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had hoped that the Democrat National Convention this week would be a time for the Democrat Party to unify around her and present a solid wall of opposition to Donald Trump. Instead, the fractures in the party have become painfully clear as many from the most liberal wing of the party have resisted Clinton's coronation in any way they can. The Washington Times reported that one former supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders even went so far as to say that Clinton would be "more dangerous" than Trump if she were elected. Susan Sarandon, a Hollywood actress who apparently believed that she was somehow qualified to talk about foreign policy, stated that Clinton has been reckless with her foreign policy and could lead to war. "I believe in a way she is more dangerous," she said in an interview with the liberal outlet "The Young Turks." "They're both talking to Henry Kissinger, apparently … She did not learn from Iraq, and she is an interventionist, and she has done horrible things — and very callously. I don't know if she is overcompensating or what her trip is. That scares me. I think we'll be in Iran in two seconds." Sarandon's opposition to Clinton mainly came from her, presumably, being against warfare. However she did make some excellent points about Clinton's shady record. "I don't know what his policy is. I do know what her policies are, I do know who she is taking money from. I do know that she is not transparent and I do know that nobody calls her on it," she said. While Trump wouldn't be afraid to use military force, he has stated that he would use it as a last resort, and would only use it in places where we could win, and win quickly. The left and Hillary is afraid and they should be when even libs run from her along with Bern supporters & independents.
