While celebrities are followed around by paparazzi and their statements to the media are often taken out of context, cultural digs and religious riffs are not always made in good taste.
Pop sensation Katy Perry and Andrew Garfield, the latter famous for suiting up as the web slinger Spiderman in the big screen reboot of that franchise, are two such Hollywood stars currently stirring up attention.
Known for varying her look in her music videos, Perry's promo for her latest single, Birthday, has her donning many disguises. One of her personas is that of
, an Orthodox-like bar mitzvah DJ who has a tendency to tell off-putting jokes about rabbis.
It's not the singer's first ethnic misstep.
Last year at the American Music Awards, she was called out for donning geisha dress during a performance. Her antics put her in the same musical company as Selena Gomez, Drake and Avril Lavigne, to name but a few who've been criticized for some questionable ethnic depictions in their videos.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Time Out London and in other previous statements, Garfield says Spiderman's alter ego Peter Parker is Jewish, if only by association, having grown up as a socially awkward science wunderkind in Queens, the easternmost and historically Jewish borough of New York City.
"I hope Jewish people won't mind the cliché, because my father's Jewish. I have that in me," said Garfield.
Spiderman is of course the creation of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the wildly gifted and legendary Jewish comic book team. And Lee's orphaned teen Parker is not so fundamentally different from DC Comics' Superman. One is entirely human and the other one is an infant sent from another planet, but both wrestle with their own deep sense of morality and the great responsibility that comes with having their great powers. Their stories speaks to us on multiple levels.
Intentional or unintentional instances of cultural impropriety? You be the judge.

My 9 y/o twins were adopted out of foster care and each have an IEP. My son is in level 5 EBD and my daughter is in mainstream with an aide. Neither one has tested at 3rd grade level, and yet have been promoted to 4th grade. difficult child daughter is at late first grade for math and almost grade level for reading, but cannot print legibly. difficult child son is no where near grade level for reading or printing, but is almost grade level for math. MY husband and I believe they should not be promoted to 4th grade at this time because of their emotional immaturity as well as their academic records. Our school district is telling husband and I because they have an IEP they cannot be held back. Has anyone have any experience with this. I would appreciate any help on this matter. Thanks, Linda
Hi Linda Couple of things. There are pros and cons to retention. I'm not sure grade retention would be a good idea for your kids just on an emotional level, but every case is different. Because of their background, you might want to discuss this with-their p-doctor and get his/her thoughts on it also. Our kids recognize that they are "different" and it often causes self-esteem problems. Additional problems like being retained can cause additional problems in this area. You might want to do some reading on this -- there are some urls that might help you sort through it at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=IEP+grade+retention&btnG=Google+Search . Children with-ADHD typically are immature. The general rule of thumb is that an ADHDer is about 2/3's their chronologal age. So, if you've got a 9 yr old child with-ADHD acting like a 5 - 7 year old in areas, it's the norm rather than the exception. The most important question in my opinion is that your kids have an IEP, but are the children reaching the IEP goals? It's the IEP that should be driving placement and services for the children. You might want to take a look at www.iep4u.com to see how goals should be written. Other questions that came to my mind while reading your post is whether there's been proper identification of the problems and whether the IEP goals are appropriate (specifically designed for the individual child's needs). Have all the recommendations in the school district's evaluation report beein included in the IEPs? For instance, illegible handwriting. Why? Dysgraphia, fine motor skill delay, or dyslexia, etc? Has dyslexia been ruled out in that there are reading and handwriting problems? If appropriate, are the children receiving occupational therapy services for fine motor skill delays? If the kids aren't up to grade level, did the IEP include summer school or extended-school-year services? If not, why not? Sometimes children designated with-emotional problems are warehoused in an alternative/behavioral setting with-little or no emphasis on academics. Is that potentially part of the problem? (It must be recognized however that it's near impossible to teach children when behavior is out of control.) Sorry, more questions than answers. by the way, I posted a thread for you in PZ. Wanted to welcome you to the site. /importthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I found all of this very interesting. I want to know more about how to get my son tested for that disorder related to the handwriting ? Also what are the symptoms for dyslexia ? My difficult child writes horribly. Reads at a 2-3 grade level, yet they keep passing him into the higher grade levels. He has spent the last 6 months in a different school where there is a contained classroom for children who have learning disorders.Most of them have ADD, ODD and more. I have seen some improvement but not much. I feel aprehensive asking these questions at the school, it seems that they are always in a hurry to get your question answered. And they are also trying to get out of a lot of things I have asked for. Where does one go when they feel that the school is failing their child ? I feel pushed to the side and ignored. Possibly because I am intimidated. Also my parents who are my only support do not believe about difficult children behavior issues. He is PERFECT in thier eyes. Sorry I just had to let loose. Anyone out there today that feels like adding to the post with comments would be very appreciated. Much thanks /importthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Hi Alisha, Sorry about the quotes I just posted. Am very brain dead this a.m. My daughter's IEP is due for review in October. She has not met any of her goals. I have been trying to have her tested at the school district level for dslyexia and other fine motor problems since last spring. Her initial evaluation was 2 years ago and she was in a much better frame of mind at that time, so husband and I are struggling to have things changed. Her IEP states other health impaired. We visited with daughter's and DS's P-DR yesterday who was not supportive of retention. His comment was that by state law if the children are performing 2 years behind grade level the state and school district must pay for private tutoring. Both of my difficult children were in for a physcial 2 weeks ago and their pediatrician noted a delay in both fine and gross motor skills. DS is in level 5 EBD where the emphasis is on behaviors not academics. My son never wants to leave that setting because he gets to go to school store to spend his points on toys. Last year, he began 2 hours daily in mainstream. daughter is in mainstream with an aide to help her keep on track and from leaving the school setting. I noted your post on PZ this a.m. If you want to know more I posted under general last night under New and need an outlet. Thanks for your thoughts. Linda
Some things that would be pertinent to both of you. First, you need to educate yourselves on Federal IDEA law. You must also know your own educational State regs. There are some areas of the Federal law that gives latitude to the States -- so it's important to be familiar with-both. Just a suggestion, but when I first got started, I found all this overwhelming. I ended up buying a realm of paper and printing out the entire Federal and State regs -- then put them in a binder for easy reference use. It was a very well spent $7.00. These regs are in pretty straightforward language, but you won't catch it all in the first read. Ask more questions, do more research, then read them again. It's important to know that there are timelines attached to a lot of IEP responsibilities. If you make a request for a re-evaluation in person or via telephone, it's important to follow-up with a letter of understanding sent via Certified Mail. The CM causes the timelines to kick in. If the conversation is between the principal and me, I address the letter to the principal and send a cc to the Sp Ed Director and the Superintendent -- you want to make sure and get it to the party that is ultimately responsible. That's typically the Superintendent. There are parent and child advocacy organizations in every state that can assist parents getting through the school district maze. A parent can call an IEP meeting at any time -- it's not necessary to wait until October. Again, send a letter requesting it be scheduled. Kandwsmom: Check your state regs re: tutor requirement. Also, if the pediatrician noted fine and gross motor skill delays, in my opinion he should have referred the kids to a Pediatric Occupational Therapist. I'd recommend you consider scheduling a private evaluation and if your children show signs of Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), to also have the Occupational Therapist (OT) perform an SIPT. The pediatricians opinion would be helpful if the school district is stalling performing their own Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. If you've already requested this evaluation in writing and the school district failed to follow through within the alotted time, there are other steps you can take. You could file a complaint with-the school district and/or the state education and/or request mediation. Check your state regs for procedures. I'd recommend that you forward a written request for an Occupational Therapy evaluation by the school district. I'd also recommend that you both get complete copies of the school district's evaluation report(s) together with all subtest scores and review them thoroughly. Without that type info, it's difficult for parents to have input about what their children need in the line of services. I'd also strongly recommend that you not rely 100% on school district evaluations. In theory, the evaluations are suppose to be so comprehensive as to discover disabilities, even if they weren't "suspect" at the onset. In reality however it doesn't usually work that way. Be aware that some school districts do an excellent job following IEP mandates, but some do not.
Hi.... Alisha has given some great infor to follow up on, I hope that you find it helpful + useful! by the way, your children have IEPs. The services they are receiving should be appriopriate and developed according to their specific learning issues. In some ways the diagnosis is not important. The important considereation is that your son is below grade level in reading.. Why---doesn't matter too much. Essentially, a further diagnosis of dyslexia won't help much. Dyslexic simply means and "inability to read" . The interventions are devised according to the objectives and goals on the IEP. So, you children should have an IEP that addresses their specific needs based on testing info, classroom observation, the teacher's input and your input. If you child is not hitting his or her goals, you need to address that at his or her annual review. Are the goals inappropriate? Are they specific and measureable? Can the staff at school keep adequte progress notes based on how the goals are written? Are your children receiving enough instructional time with a sped teacher who can help by implementing specific learning strategies? I think your time and energy is best spent trying to get them the appropriate level of services, since they have existing IEPs. You can request an IEP meeting any time! Lizz
Thank you all for your input. My husband and I have decided after the info I received here and speaking with the MN Assoc. for Children's Mental Health, as well as the school not to retain daughter and DS. We are requesting IEP meetings for the first week of school which begins the day after Labor Day. I feel that too much emphasis has been placed on behaviors (as they should be in most cases) and not on academics. I believe I have an advocate lined up to attend with us. Again thanksl Linda
Please forgive me for repeating what already may have been said. My son is adopted also & has almost the exact alphabet soup diagnosis as yours. I was told by a wise woman ( Therapist) " don't be too worried if the teachers pass him & he really appears like he can't do the work? Chances are- the child can, he just won't. When he is healing & working on his life- you will amazed at what he can actually do. He will sprout like crazy & gain weight." ( was an issue) My child is getting better & he tested "low" but NOT currently! ( but we did get an IEP & have an advocate)
Sorry to get into this so late. What a wealth of good information and the decision has been made but let me add one thing: Retention (beyond KDG) rarely helps and almost always hurts self-esteem. Some of the sadest kids around are doubly retained (yes they still do this) kids who are 16 by 8th grade. They drop out--why not? Who wants to be a 20 y.o. h.s. senior, severely m.r. student excepted? Immaturity can be improved and so can motivation but the retention that seemed like a good idea at ages 7, 8, or 9 rarely looks that way 5 years later.
Martie, This has been such a tough decision. Do these guys ever catch up academically? I know that their self esteem is at risk, but won't their self esteem continue to decline because they are struggling to keep up with their peers? My biggest fear is that by the time they reach 9th grade they will be so far behind and so frustrated they WILL drop out. And there are days that I believe that I cannot damage them anymore that they were in their birth home and they will be therapy the rest of their lives anyway. Double edged sword so to speak. Linda
Linda, Whether or not they catch up depends on whether the problems are emotional/behavioral or there are also "true" learning disabilities in my opinion. I0 agree that labels do not dictate services BUT correct diagnosis does matter. It is not that Learning Disability (LD) kids can't learn but the idea of "catching up" i.e., having school work be the favorite (or easiest) thing to do is unlikely. With such trauma in their backgrounds, continued therapy is a given for your kids to me which also helps the school situation through the motivation route. School is HARD for some kids and it pains me when kids are blamed, told they are lazy, bad etc. when it really is harder for them than for others. A very smart dyslexic girl once told me she "has to work twice as hard for half as much success as her peers" and then be told she isn't trying or she would be doing better because she is smart. So I understand the difficulty of your decision. However, to the extent your kids' problems are either neurologically (ADHD) or biochemically (BiPolar (BP)) driven, rention won't change this. All retention does is give the children younger classmates (and perhaps ridicule of former same age classmates.) Research has shown that without intervention, retention doesn't work. The route to intervention is through the IEP. No child should have to fail and the work should be adjusted so that your children can do it successfully. I know that this is easier said than done in regularly classrooms. In another context I have fought this fight: my difficult child is not Learning Disability (LD) but he has always performed as if he were in Language Arts/English (despite an acknowldged high ability to pick up foreign languages easily--which just about eliminates any possibility of a language-based Learning Disability (LD).) All through grade school, teacher whispered about his mother's denial of his Learning Disability (LD) and how sad it was. I knew he wasn't Learning Disability (LD), the school psychologist knew it, and I had him independently evaluated twice to "prove" it. Didn't disuade the school. What it did is damage his self-esteem and it took very intensive therapeutic effort to get him back on track emotionally so he could do anything effectively. That said, he got a D in English last term (10th grade, regular ed, no support) but the preceding term he had gotten a B. He didn't like the second term teacher (and she didn't like him, I might add.) I talked to him about the D and he said--"I should have studied smarter for the final, I should have had a better attitude in class." I asked him if he understood why when he was younger, teachers thought he was Learning Disability (LD)? He said, "that is so stupid---I know lots of Learning Disability (LD) kids--they try really hard and just can't do it like other kids. I hate English and get what I deserve but there is a big difference: if I DECIDE to do better in English I could but Learning Disability (LD) kids can't just decide to." by the way, testing supports that my dear difficult child is at or above grade level in all language areas--so he could do it if he wanted to--he is not just boasting defensively. The point here is that if a diagnosis of Learning Disability (LD) is valid, there will always be problems with achievement but how the child views that lag is crucial. It is very hard to support a child's continued effort when the reward (grades and pace of learning) will be less. However, Learning Disability (LD) people can learn many things that enable them to do whatever they are motivated to work hard at. Learning Disability (LD) is not "fixed" it is compensated for in one of several ways: find another way to do it--illegible handwriting???use an Alphasmart--can't remember directions???write them down----hate to read for long periods???? concentrate on areas that do not depend on sustained reading---can't read at all??? get a very good therapist and start looking for major accommodations. You get the drift....Learning Disability (LD) adults can't do everything as well as others or they wouldn't be Learning Disability (LD) but most can have fine lives if they haven't been crippled emotionally while in school. I have problems with people who say that Learning Disability (LD) is "overcome" in ways that put unrealistic pressure on children. Is it sensible to tell a blind child that if they try harder they will see better? or that they can do "anything they want to" as an adult if they just "apply themselves?" No, of course not--blind children cannot will themsleves to see better and they don't have futures as pilots. It strikes me in much the same way to say that Learning Disability (LD) children can "do anything" and that they just "learn differently." No doubt they do learn differently but as the wise young dyslexic girl said to me "to work twice as hard for half as much" is hardly a difference any of us would choose for ourselves or our children. So what is the answer? I think the remediation plan for each child must be highly individualized but the big goal is rather uniform: self-esteem and the motivation that flows from it must come FIRST or nothing else will work. by the way self-esteem only comes from genuine progress not false praise so that is why all the above advice is suggesting more careful IEP construction and monitoring. Sorry to go on and on but as you can probably tell, I have strong feelings about the "Learning Disability (LD) establishment" and the way diagnosis and Tx have been handled since the increased emphasis on inclusion made the head to head comparison with classmates that your kids are experiencing inevitable. Take care,
I held back my son this year and he is repeating the 2nd grade even though he passed the classes. He has the same problem with writing and he is dyslexic even though the school says he doesn;t met the criteria. You have the right to hold your child back if you don;t think that he/she can handle the next grade.
Hi CzyLady, I thought so too. But the powers that be are making it extremely difficult. My good neighbor told me not to spin my wheels on this issue (her 21 y/o daughter had an IEP from grade 3 and graduated with a 5th grade reading level), but to concentrate on the accomodations that will bring them to grade level. So my first question at our IEP mtgs (I have requested one ASAP) is what do we need to do to get my difficult children caught up. Also, what guarantees will you give me that by 9th grade my difficult children will not be so frustrated because they cannot keep up with their peers that they will not drop out. I think these are valid questions given that our school district does not retain children with IEP's. Given that, husband and I are showing up to our mtgs with 2 advocates plus our therapist. There will be academic as well as behavorial goals (the last 2 years they concentrated wholly on behavorial goals). I will demand a tutor (based on the law here that states if children our 2 years behind grade level the school must pay for a tutor), and I will have communication (not complaints or whining about my difficult children) on a regular basis updating me on the progress they are making. I will not be taking phone calls from teachers whining about behaviors (last year I received at least 2 if not 3 calls daily). They are the pros, let them work it out (and they get them before medication rebound). I hope I can go into this with-o a chip on my shoulder but with an open mind. The last thing I need to do is make enemies when I need allies. Thanks for your input. Linda

This project consisted of cast-in-place concrete walls, stairs, and flatwork. The design and installation of custom form panels in conjunction with Meva gang forms was used to create the needed access to the freshly placed concrete.
The concrete received a light exposure showing just the sand. This was achieved by placing the concrete, removing all of the formwork while the product is in its plastic state, and immediately finishing the concrete to a steel trowel finish. Afterward a chemical release agent is applied. Next the concrete is washed to the desired depth of finished exposure and finished with an application of a penetrating waterproof sealer.
The project included CIP steps, seatwalls, and planter walls with a vertical exposed aggregate/buff washed finish. Crisp clean lines formed due to the use of the formwork. The wafinis sh accomplished using a standard City of Columbus 4500-psi class-S concrete with no color added.
The crew size ranged from 6 to 12 men. All vertical forms were stripped green, troweled, and then exposed. The CIP steps used a disappearing tread design to incorporate the natural slope of the property. The blend of cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete, and paver units bring out the beauty of the overall project. Shade structures were erected to allow for proper finishing, and to control set time of the vertical surfaces.

Kremlin AAA Spray Pump Is Skip Spraying10/14
Hi, I've got a Kremlin 20:25 AAA spray pump that is skip spraying. Guys sometimes call it "winking". If I'm not mistaken, it does it every time the piston starts to stroke downward. Every time I hear the piston change direction and start downward, the finish coming out of the gun will stall for just a quick second. It is definitely aggravating when you are spraying a large cabinet. Do you guys know what I need to do to fix it? I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. 10/15
Your pump would be skipping a stoke if you have a stuck ball. take the bottom foot valve off and clean it out.
did it just start doing it , winking or did it just coming up two things, like bob said, clean out the bottom ball check, take your time removing the clip that holds it in, it can be a pia
herb j 10/15
Thanks guys. I appreciate your advice. I took the lower part of the pump off and took the lower ball out. I checked everything and everything seemed to be fine and was totally clean. I ended up taking the pump to my local repair shop this afternoon. It turns out that there was a small crack in a plastic air fitting. It was a 90° fitting that came on the pump from the factory. The repairman said that he had seen that happen before. I guess it was sucking air through that crack in the fitting as it cycled. If anyone else has this problem, you might want to check your air fittings. It was a fitting on the right side, as you face the pump. Thanks again, guys. Larry 10/21
thanks for letting us know very interesting learn something new every day 10/22
You are welcome. Hopefully, that information will help some other folks.

December 13th, 2008A wife comes home really drunk and the husband takes the advantage of her and lets his dirtiest dreams cum true, he even gets to her sweet and big ass…
Last Saturday my wife went out for a meeting with her old classmates. My wife is 32 years old, tall sexy, with round ass and large breast, she is a vivid example of a 100% milf. My wife keeps fit 3 times a week in a gym class and to her age her body is just perfect. I know her classmates, most of them are really nice people, who loved having fun in night cubs, meet together every week end and drink a lot. My wife, Valentina never drank a lot, but she never refuses taking a shot when she an opportunity offers. That's why I know that when she is out with her girlfriends somewhere in the club, she comes back home drunk.
This time Valentina informed me that she would not come home until 11 pm; tomorrow was Sunday, so there was no need to get up early next morning. I was also in mood to go somewhere tonight and met a few old friends of mine, I had not seen for a month. We gathered in a pub and had a few sets of billiard. Late in the night I said to everyone Good Bye and went back home. When I opened the door and entered my house, I found my wife totally done, she hardly dragged herself to the couch in the couch, and fell onto it without taking off her dress. She was lying on the couch in her opened dress and high heels.
I removed her heels, then removed her dress, lifted her sleepy body with my arms and put her to the bed. She didn't react and opened her legs as she was put down to the bed. I held still for a while, admiring her shaved pussy. Although Valentina wasn't a sexy model like, anyway her ass and pussy were OK. Watching this I got turned on and touched her pussy and found it wet. (Read More…)

Soda-loving New Yorkers are having a field day today after photos of Mayor Bloomberg sipping a Big Gulp spread across social media networks like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram overnight. In the pics, Bloomberg, who is notorious for his efforts to ban large sugary drinks throughout the city, appears to be enjoying exactly the type of beverage he'd admonished at numerous press conferences.
"I can't believe him. After all of that telling us what not to drink, he goes and gets a soda himself," said Cherry Saccharino, of Ridgewood, Queens. The news had others fuming as well. "Thank goodness the ban didn't go through. But still – the nerve," said Jim Fizz as he enjoyed a grande frappuccino at Starbucks.
While it might seem like the mayor drank his own words, he actually had a somewhat plausible explanation for his behavior. "Listen, I was just super thirsty, ok?" he told reporters. "I usually keep a reusable water bottle with me, but I left it at home today, and my mouth was starting to get really dry. I was about to give a speech and I really needed to unparch my throat. So I grabbed the Big Gulp and took just one sip. It wasn't like I drank the whole thing."
As the mayor is well known to do, he also translated his excuse into Spanish on Twitter: "Eschucha! Yo was muy parchado pero no hay accessorio to agua. So yo drankido el Gulpo Grande. Yo ñecesito to do it. Lo siento!"
Just kiddin' – April Fool's everyone!

Product Highlights
The white with black carbon fiber folio ZAGGfolio for The new iPad and iPad 2 from ZAGG is a multi-functional way to use your iPad. This folio not only serves as both a traditional way to store and carry your iPad but also contains a removable wireless Bluetooth 3.0 keyboard that incorporates specific shortcut keys for your new iPad-volume control, music control, home, search, and copy and paste. This multi-faceted approach to using your computer gives you total flexibility at home or on the road.
The folio is made from a polyurethane material and the two tone color combination of folio and keyboard give it a sense of flair. Inside, a soft microfiber lining gently guards the delicate screen on your iPad. The folio secures with a magnetic closure that also activates the iPad's Sleep and Wake functions. The included 510 mAh rechargeable lithium battery will give you months of use without a charge.
This folio can also be used as a convenient stand for easier viewing and typing. In either portrait or landscape format, you'll be able to web surf, view videos or type in a position that is most comfortable for you. The flexibility of this system extends to the overall construction that allows you to use the keyboard either in or out of the folio.
The complete package is ultra lightweight weighing in at an incredibly paltry 19 oz. Its overall size is compatible with many styles of briefcases and will certainly fit comfortably within a larger shoulder bag or backpack. The folio also comes with a USB to micro-USB charging cable and is backed by ZAGG's one-year limited warranty.

Social Collaboration: it's the people not the technology, stupid!
Regardless of what labels we give to collaboration technology, the one constant feature is the people, i.e. the staff, the workers, the users. The continuing paradox is that, despite all the evidence of poor adoption rates; the accepted wisdom that "build it and they will come" doesn't really work, and the oft' repeated mantra that "it's not the technology, it's the people that count", most collaboration strategies are treated as technology projects and not organisational change management projects.

Overcoming Barriers to Workplace Collaboration
Organisations rely on collaboration in order to be successful. Imagine your workplace without any knowledge-sharing or team working. What would happen? Probably very little, as most people rely on collaboration with others in order to be able to do their jobs. If every member of your team attempted to work without drawing on the knowledge of others, they would find themselves unable to do anything pretty quickly. Despite this heavy reliance on collaboration, many people find it difficult, and do it only reluctantly and sometimes ineffectively. How can workplace leaders help their teams to collaborate better?

It sounds like your chasing a problem that only appears now and then, since this is the case I`d say more than likely it`s in the ignition system somewhere. Many carb problems diagnose the same as ignition issues and this is where you get thrown off. Since the car runs good one day, then some days later starts spitting, then I would check the power going to the distributor, if it`s a HEI it must get a full 12 volts, if it gets less it`ll run but it`ll run like crap. Make sure the mechanical advance is working properly and isn`t sticking open or shut. I always adjust the valves with the engine running, that way I can adjust them to zero lash. If the exhaust is too loud for you to hear the valves when they clack, then round up some large enough hose to slip over the pipes so it quiets it enough for you to hear. Back off the rocker slowly until it starts to clack, then slowly tighten it to the point the clack stops, then give it about a half turn. Once you get the rockers back in shape and the plug wires squared up and check it for vacuum leaks dive into the ignition, that`s where I believe your problem lies. Another place it could be at is the fuel pressure, if you don`t have a fuel pressure gauge get one by all means. I`ve chased a fuel pressure problem before and one day It would run fine then another it would hardley run at all, but the issue wouldn`t be spitting, it would be flooding so it would bog down. Your case it maybe one day your getting enough fuel pressure and the next your not getting enough. Take a breather, gather your thoughts, don`t loose your temper at it, just think it`s a car and you can beat this problem, and that your gonna beat it, believing is half the battle. It may take time, but keep on it until you find it, then enjoy your ride. The benefit of this is what you`ll learn from it.
Check out this tool. You may be able to borrow one from places like advance auto parts, o'riley's, or one of the other chain stores. Rich http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PRO-66782/ |
More to the point, what was the reason you took wrench in hand and started back on fixing it, after it had been running good? From there, following the course of events, there's no reason it can't be made to run right again. I don't see why now- after putting the time and $$$ into it that you have, that you're just going to what- quit? Leave it sitting in the drive while you walk/take a bus/ride your bike? You need to step away for a day or two, regroup and fix the damn thing!! |
But, no- the car's NOT possessed. You're overwhelmed. At the moment. If the bolt's rounded off, replace it- there are sockets made for that exact thing that are pounded onto the rounded head of the bolt so it can be removed. Replace the burned wires and hoses, lash the valves, set the timing and drive the thing! This ain't rocket science. I'd say that either the valves were too tight or the ignition timing had moved- causing the flame-on situation. If you just give up, how much will you lose? I'm wondering if it's worth a bus ticket to go up there and buy your car, fix it at the local WalMart/Auto Zone parking lot and drive it home to GA. How much you want for it? |
okay okay, you win. ill give it one more shot. it just looks so damn sexy in the parking lot to just give it away
well i guess spark plug wires is first. and ill have to order the crank tool that the other guy recommended also. ill have to borrow the money to buy them so they must be cheap. i asked what wires were good a day or 2 ago and a few said Taylor wires were good. I see that they have wires under $30, are they any good? Will there be much performance loss with cheaper wires? Thanks everyone for putting up with my whining here and there. LOL |
If you remove the bottom pulley and use three different 3/8 fine thread bolts (so you don't mar the ones that you use for the pulley), you can screw them into the damper an inch or so, and use them for leverage to turn the crank over w/a long screwdriver or prybar. Put the tool you use to turn the crank, up close to the damper and not out on the ends of the bolts so they don't bend too much. A little is OK, but not so much that they are in danger of breaking off- which shouldn't be any problem. To be clear on this- use two of the three bolts at a time, bridging across them w/the tool so you're turning the crank by the pair of bolts. As you turn the crank, you will reposition the tool to the different bolts as needed to continue to turn it over. |

A Valedictory in American Academia
James Wells Gair, Ph.D. '63, professor emeritus of linguistics who throughout a long and distinguished career produced groundbreaking work on South Asian languages and their relation to other languages, died Dec. 10 in Ithaca. He was 88."Jim Gair was in many ways the paradigmatic Cornell linguist," said John Whitman, chair and professor of linguistics. "He had a language passion for Sinhala, the language of Sri Lanka, and he threw himself entirely into it, teaching the language, writing textbooks for its learners, and analyzing both the colloquial language and its classical texts.

Knicks' Carmelo Anthony: Jim Boeheim 'says some crazy stuff'
Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim isn't shy about voicing his opinions. Remember a few months ago, when he essentially said point guard Tyler Ennis should have come back to his program rather then going to the NBA? He's also commented a few times about Syracuse alum Carmelo Anthony's free agency, including recently saying that the star forward would have been better off basketball-wise in Chicago, but chose the New York Knicks because of Phil Jackson's presence.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday at a celebrity basketball game at Barclays Center, Anthony said that he was "close" to leaving New York but laughed off Boeheim's comments, via Newsday's Will Sammon:
"I know [Boeheim] says some crazy stuff," Anthony said with a smile. "That's my guy. He's been the same way for 40 years."
"As far as me staying here, a lot went into that decision. At the end of the day, I did have to believe in Phil, I did have to believe in my teammates. So that's all that matters."
Really, as far as "crazy stuff" goes, this particular quote hardly registers. There was the aforementioned Ennis incident, but there's much, much more.
Boeheim called a member of the media an "idiot" and "disloyal" at a press conference, and it wasn't the first time he'd thrown around the word "idiot" in that setting. He told reporters to "go get your Pulitzer someplace else" when he wasn't pleased with their line of questioning. He said a rival coach was "full of shit." He got angry at a microphone.
So yeah, Boeheim said the Bulls would have been a better situation for Anthony on the court. This is obviously true, and Anthony confirmed that Jackson did have a lot to do with choosing New York. That isn't crazy at all.

Many of our dreams come true with Nauli®. When we registered it as a brandname, it was not easy. How to create a brand without limiting ourselves? But then it was possible. We want to color our life without wasting ideas, and materials, living in this big world without feeling the borders, letting as much wishes become true as our creativity let us do! Only one thing we miss since then... we would need some more energy and a huge load of more time!

(CNN)With the world's greatest number of skyscrapers in one city, as well as thousands of buildings over 10 stories, Hong Kong's urban landscape has a way of overpowering visitors.
Sometimes it's easiest just to stand in front of the window of your hotel room and take it all in.
From five-star palaces to youth hostels, presidential suites to rented apartments, you can pretty much be guaranteed views that you'll be posting and sending to friends as soon as you check in.
Here are 14 of the best:
1. Hotel Icon
This unique five-star property is owned by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and operates as a research and training facility for the School and Hotel of Tourism Management.
Guests come for the sleek Tesla limos, classy club floor and award-winning dining.
But most of all for the intoxicating views from rooms, restaurants and particularly the pool deck and gym.
2. InterContinental Hong Kong
Located on the water's edge on the Kowloon side of Victoria Harbor, guests get some of the city's most spectacular views.
Looking toward the Hong Kong Island skyline, there's no better vantage for the city's nightly laser and light show.
3. Hyatt Sha Tin
The Hyatt Regency in Sha Tin is the first globally branded hotel in Hong Kong's New Territories.
Sitting next to The Chinese University of Hong Kong means there are lots of students and families, but it's the view of Tolo Harbor, the Kau To Shan mountains and Sha Tin Racecourse that really catch the eye.
4. Lanson Place Hotel
Causeway Bay is a conveniently located shopper's paradise, thronging with locals and visitors day and night.
The small, boutique Lanson Place Hotel looks over Victoria Park to one side, with swanky high-rise living and hills to the other.
Look carefully and you'll see Hong Kong Stadium, home to the city's annual Rugby Sevens tournament.
5. Mandarin Oriental
The Mandarin Oriental opened in 1963, remaining one of the city's most well known five-star hotels to this day.
If you're going to kick back in a bath filled with rose petals, there's no better view to enjoy than the shiny skyscrapers of the city's Central commercial district and the harbor beyond.
6. Airbnb
Of course it's not all five-star luxury at five-star prices, but the views can still be amazing.
Airbnb has thousands of options in the city, but few can match the view of the Happy Valley racecourse.
At some properties, you can watch the horses romp home from the comfort of your own apartment.
7. The Park Lane Hong Kong
The Park Lane Hong Kong offers sweeping views across Victoria Harbour, the most impressive of which comes from its rooftop bar, The Deck.
You couldn't be better located to make the most of Causeway Bay, while Victoria Park across the road offers a respite from the concrete jungle.
8. The Peninsula Hong Kong
The Peninsula Hong Kong is the city's oldest hotel, having opened in 1928.
It subsequently became known as the "Grande Dame of the Far East," an icon of the city combining Eastern and Western hospitality.
More than 80 years later, the views of Hong Kong island and the harbor remain a knockout.
9. YMCA The Salisbury
A view to almost rival the storied Peninsula comes from the less glamorous but more wallet-friendly YMCA The Salisbury right next door.
The 372-room property includes a number of suites.
The most impressive is the 530-square-feet Harbour View, which sleeps four and has million-dollar views without the million-dollar rates.
10. East Hotel, Quarry Bay
The face of Hong Kong's Quarry Bay district has changed arguably more than any other in the past decade, from a residential area to the city's media business hub.
East Hotel caters to this new crowd with panoramic views over the eastern end of Victoria Harbour, especially from the rooftop bar, Sugar.
11. Silvermine Bay, Lantau Island
Lantau is Hong Kong's largest island and home to the city's airport, but you wouldn't know it in sleepy and laid-back Mui Wo.
Here the view of the beach from the Silvermine Bay Resort is occasionally interrupted by a herd of remaining wild buffalo on their morning stroll, a world away from the neon and noise of Hong Kong Island.
12. Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong
At the other end of the scale, occupying floors 102 to 118 of the International Commerce Center in Kowloon, the Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong is the highest hotel in the world.
Each one of the 312 guestrooms offers spectacular city and harbor views, while the rooftop bar, Ozone, a cool 490 meters above sea level, tops them all.
13. Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong
Pacific Place is home to the 56-story Island Shangri-La Hotel, the brand's flagship property in the city.
Expect sweeping harbor views, perfect for the city's firework displays, but also beautiful vistas up toward Victoria Peak from the other side.
The top-floor Petrus Restaurant under Ricardo Chaneton defines dining with a view.
14. Jockey Club Mt. Davis Youth Hostel
Sunset views are striking from this humble youth hostel on Mount Davis.
Looking out toward Tsing Ma Bridge and over the multitude of boats in the shipping lanes, it's a unique angle on the city.
You can even catch the nightly fireworks off in the distance at Hong Kong Disneyland.

With the COP21 global climate conference due to start in Paris at the end of November, NGO Climate Central has released thought-provoking images of the potential effects of global warming.
It comes in the wake of a World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warning that levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2014.
The United Nations' weather agency issued graphs showing levels of carbon dioxide climbing steadily each year since reliable records began in 1984.
UK Met Office predictions for 2015 are also bleak. Data released on Monday (November 9) shows that this year is likely to be the first when "the global mean temperature at the Earth's surface is set to reach 1°C above pre-industrial levels."
Climate Central's images show the impact of rises in temperature of 2°C (the international target limit) and 4°C would have on sea levels in some of the world's most iconic cities.

12 Days of December Day 2: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas
Date Posted: 2nd December 2016
"Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house / not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse". I remember rushing to bed on Christmas Eve, not just to await the arrival of a certain red suited man, but also to experience the moment when my mum would pull out our much loved illustrated copy of the poem and would begin with those magical words.
12 Days of December Day 1: A Christmas Carol
Date Posted: 1st December 2016
"Bah Humbug," two words from Charles Dickens' classic 1843 Christmas story from the Christmas Books, which are synonymous with someone lacking in Christmas spirit and yet, on this, the first day of December we turn to it once again as a Christmas favourite to help us find the Christmas spirit.
His Kidnapper's Shoes

Penhaligon's Attic
Date Posted: 25th November 2016

Literature Works caught up with Cassandra Parkin, author of the recently published (and Lit Works reviewed) Lily's House to discuss the importance of the South West in her writing, how 'magic' and reality can blend in fiction and her number one tip for new writers…
For All Our Sins
Date Posted: 15th November 2016
I am a huge fan of police procedural fiction and I particularly enjoy those stories which are less about the 'who' and more about the 'why', For All Our Sins is certainly a novel which delivers on this point.

As a South West agency, we love anything which champions our region and Lily's House which is set in the wilderness of the Cornish Coast does just that.
The Silk Weaver
Date Posted: 8th November 2016

A thriller unlike any you have ever heard. A love strong enough to bring a tremor to your bones. A sacrifice powerful enough to make heaven weep. At the close of World War II, a shell-shocked soldier, Jan Jovic, was forced to inflict a game of life and death on a peaceful Bosnian community. In a few short hours, this young man was confronted by more love - and hate - than most experience in a lifetime.
Years later, Jan has become a world-renown writer with widespread influence in the United States. His past buried deep in his memory. Until at the most inopportune times, the game witnessed by Jan haunts him...and unwittingly leads him to a beautiful but broken women caught in an underworld of crime. He now must defeat an evil rarely seen. But there is a price. One that even this war-scarred soldier can't imagine.

"No greater Love than this!"
I finished the first, second and downloading the third! It's heart changing!
Tim Gregory is rated on my top three of best narrators!
This series needs to be a movie! Don't miss this great book!
"great analogy"
Story line and plot done excellent. Best analogy of love of Christ for His church. Just wonderful
"To Remember"
This book helped me to remember what being "Christ Like" is all about: to have a heart for others, true forgiveness over and over again, and most important to die daily. Thank you!
"Soul changing"
I wish I had read the Heaven Trilogy before judging Ted Dekker's novels. Only because, Tosca Lee, to co author with him, did I give T. Dekker's a second chance. Writers expose the motives, beliefs and souls through words. As a transformed, Born Again, believer and follower of God's Word, I am careful about the words I choose to fill my mind and soul with. Some of Ted Dekker's writing is nearly secular... I wondered before now, if he feared sharing the TRUTH, for fear of the "world". I apologize for judging a "book" by a few "covers". Only a man, whom knows the Father intimately could write the Heavens Trilogy series. Thank you, Ted Dekker!
Actually, it is Jennifer, not Michael. I enjoy a variety of books but am drawn to romantic historical fiction with a Christian message.
"Unconditional Love"
Intense, exciting, and thought provoking. This is the second book in the series but takes place prior to the first book. It is the story of Helen, but really has little to do with the first book. This gripping novel brings new insight to the life of an addict. It portrays the all-consuming power a drug addiction, while demonstrating the amazing unconditional love of a spouse. Yon's unconditional love for Helen symbolizes the love Christ has for us.
"great book"
excellent a must read will read more of this author and narrator well written and narated
avid book listener. the brain is my favorite body part. i am a Jesus follower... i miss a step quite often.
"tough parts and real"
I had to stop listening for a short period of time because it got pretty intense with some of the story. but ultimately finished it off and loved every minute.
"So beautiful"
I am in awe of how the author I'd able describe how heaven could feel.
"great story"
it was another great story about God's love. It gave me a new look at how great His love is for us.
"loved it"
Great story. Enjoyed the depictions of heaven and our Father. How love and Christ overcame drugs.

Osama Bin Laden: What's Your Reaction?
We've all heard that Osama Bin Laden was killed Sunday night. How do you feel about the news?
-April Daniels Hussar
This morning I woke up to the news that President Obama told us all last night that Osama Bin Laden, mastermind of the 9-11 attacks and American's #1 Most Wanted Man, was killed in a "targeted operation" in Pakistan and then buried at sea … all yesterday.
Wow. I'm not even sure what my own reaction to that news is yet – it's a lot to absorb. I lived in NYC on 9/11. My daughter, who is 8 now, was born on March 19, 2003, the very day we started the war in Iraq. And less than two months later (exactly eight years ago yesterday), President Bush declared "Mission Accomplished."
So, it's been a long road to this point… And what exactly does it mean?
I find it fascinating that the news pretty much broke via Twitter last night. And today, my own Facebook stream is filled with wildly varying reactions. I've seen everything from the skeptical:
"Interesting how the birth certificate, and Osama's reported death, were covered within the past week. Prepping Obama for the next presidential election much?"
"Bin Laden is dead apparently. Now, where are these so-called 'weapons of mass destruction?'"
"So, a courier lived in a multimillion dollar mansion with 18 foot walls and barbed wire a mile and a half from a Pakistani military base and nobody there thought that was odd?"
…to the vindictive:
"I Hope Osama Bin Laden rots in Hell for all eternity and all his followers too, the cowards!!"
"So, Osama, what do you think of that 'Paradise' you said was awaiting you…? Kinda hot? Hope you are enjoying your 'vacation.'"
…to the jubilant and proud:
PR guru / public figure (and the only person I'm naming here, as his is a public page) Peter Shankman posted this photo with this comment: "I usually don't get political here, but this is awesome. :)"
"God Bless America!"
"woke up the most amazing moment of American pride and unity since 2001. YOU GO, BARACK! Amazing!!! 'Our war is not against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims. Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own. So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.' -President Barack Hussein Obama"
"I think many people will sleep a little more peacefully tonight. Thank you all who fight for our country!"
…to the thoughtful:
"'I hope Bin Laden's death brings a sense of justice to those who lost loved ones on 9/11, and I'm grateful to those in our military etc. who worked so hard to find him. I hope whatever destructive influence he still had is now ended. That being said, however, the celebrations outside the White House seem naive to me. Tonight is a night for sober and mature reflection, not glee.' -Marianne Williamson … I mean will it ever be over? That's the thing. Things like this will always happen until we learn how to exist in harmony."
Quite a variety, to say the least.
I'm still taking it all in. I found it horrific that one of those listed dead in the attack on Bin Laden was a woman being "used as a human shield." Just seems to perfectly sum up the horrible disregard for human life exhibited by Al Qaeda. And it all takes me back to the day, almost 10 years ago, that I saw the smoke pouring out of Manhattan from my apartment in Queens, and felt like the world was ending. I understand the sentiment that drove New Yorkers down to Ground Zero to celebrate last night – HuffingtonPost.com has some great videos and slideshows that capture the energy of the night.
But I guess I can relate most to a Battery Park resident, Rosalie Joseph, who survived the attacks and still lives in her old neighborhood. She told the HuffingtonPost at Ground Zero last night, "It's a celebration, and I get it, but it's kind of hard to cheer."
How do you feel about the news? What's your reaction?

With their boundless curiosity, fertile imagination, and natural mastery of the art of self-directed learning, children have much to teach adults about creativity and innovation. That's perhaps even more true with today's "digital natives," says developmental psychologist Edith Ackermann, whose work explores—and exploits—the intersections of play, learning, design, and technology. An educator and researcher, Ackermann has consulted for LEGO and the LEGO Learning Institute for more than 20 years and worked under the direction of Jean Piaget, the Swiss psychologist renowned for his studies on children at play, at the Centre International d'Epistémologie Génétique. She has taught at Harvard, MIT, and other universities.

Playful Inventions and Explorations: What's to Be Learned from Kids?

Collaborative tablets
Jak Spencer designed a hardware based solution for group meeting collaboration. Four touch surfaces are used individually by meeting participants for group work. The hardware platform combined with a software solution to aid collaboration in meeting environments. It has been designed specifically for Architects and Designers to work on 2D drawing files and 3D CAD files.
The system combines an intuitive interactive user interface with cutting edge touch technology. Users can work in presentation mode where the full 32' surface of an LCD monitor becomes multi-touch enabled, or in collaboration mode – where the touch surface is broken into 4 separate tablets.
The project has developed from early stage blue-sky designs, through concept selection and detailed design development to a real prototype. In the prototype the top left hand tablet is fully functional with the electronics housed in the frame, whilst the software has been simulated to suggest methods to ease design collaboration. Have a look at the video for more info.

For the new Google+ theme of #SAturdayStyle curated by +lynn langmade and +lane langmade who I have a sneaky suspicion may be related to one another. You can read more about the theme's rules here – https://plus.google.com/113973458554656282296/posts/JX6rbasjLsH – but in a nutshell it's a theme that exposes style of some description; art, fashion, design, architecture, etc.
I've gone with architecture for the inaugural post in this theme. This is a reworking in my own particular style of a photo I took almost a year ago in Wakefield, Yorkshire, and features my second favourite style of architecture, brutalism (my favourite being art deco like just about anyone with taste). From the 1950s to the 1970s brutalist architecture embraced the wonderful ideal of casting concrete into moulds to create repetitive, geometric buildings or, if you prefer, works of art (which, admittedly, some people think are gruesome but there's no accounting for taste).

The festival is held in a shopping plaza called La Cittadella, and though I wouldn't call the event mind blowing, it's a fun away to spend an afternoon. Here are some pics I took:
There were a few dozen dealers on hand, mostly selling European antiques.
The toyage at the event was mostly along these lines. |
Pretty cool bus |
One of my favorite things about these types of events in Japan is the way things are displayed. Cool old world vibe. |
View from up top. There's a shopping arcade surrounding the plaza. |
These performers were walking back and forth dancing and interacting with the festival goers. |
There were hints of pantomime,but the Mime Apocalypse was averted, and all baby seals and puppies emerged unscathed. |
Something out of a Hugo novel. |
This retro airline bag was cool. |
Creepy enough for your collection? |
Yep, it's a bathtub. |
Food stal |
There are a few restaurants surrounding the plaza. |
Nearby Futsal field |
All species welcome! |
Entrance to the festival is free, and it's an easy trip from Tokyo. I'm not sure if it's held at the same time every year, but La Cittadella's website lists event info and an access map. Looks like they've got things going on throughout the year.

Food Word Clouds: Ruth Reichl's Tweets
word cloud of Ruth Reichl's tweets
In today's adventure in word clouds, we've clouded a number of Ruth Reichl's recent tweets. Imagine if Bashō and Paul Bocuse met for breakfast. It is a perfect spring morning, of course, somewhere utterly bucolic. And the conversation -- what little of it there would be in this minimalist haiku world -- runs to birdsong. Also, perhaps, deer and pie. If you look closely, you'll see among the jigsaw a few more fun nouns, our favorites being "squirrel" and "matzo."

CDH1 / E Cadherin is a classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is a calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. Mutations in this gene are correlated with gastric, breast, colorectal, thyroid and ovarian cancer. Loss of function is thought to contribute to progression in cancer by increasing proliferation, invasion, and/or metastasis.

Diamond Dogs is a concept album by David Bowie, originally released by RCA Records in 1974. Thematically it was a marriage of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Bowie's own glam-tinged vision of a post-apocalyptic world. Bowie had wanted to make a theatrical production of Orwell's book and began writing material after completing sessions for his 1973 album Pin Ups, but the late author's estate denied the rights. The songs wound up on the second half of Diamond Dogs instead where, as the titles indicate, the Nineteen Eighty-Four theme was prominent.
Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. The House of David was David "Fathead" Newman's comeback album of sorts, marking his first release after the end of his association with Ray Charles and a few years spent with his family in his hometown of Dallas. Organist Kossie Gardner, guitarist Ted Dunbar, and drummer Milt Turner support Newman's gritty "Texas tenor" sound, which captures the straightforwardness of R&B pop and the improvisational elements of jazz.
Changesbowie is a CD greatest-hits collection that revamps the original Changesonebowie by adding selections from David Bowie's late-'70s and early-'80s albums. Consequently, it functions as a definitive single-disc introduction to Bowie, featuring all of his major hits from "Space Oddity," "Changes," "Ziggy Stardust," "Jean Genie," and "Rebel Rebel" to "Heroes," "Ashes to Ashes," "Let's Dance," "Modern Love," and "Blue Jean." One complaint: It wasn't necessary to substitute the "Fame '90" remix for the original to hook completists, since it is inferior and was already issued as a separate single.

New Delhi [India], Nov 10 : Backing the government's decision to demonetize Rs. 500 and 1,000 currency notes, Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das on Thursday said that there was a need to revive the currency as the value of rupee has depreciated after 2001, adding notes of Rs. 1,000 will be introduced in due course.
Throwing light on the other logical reasons behind the government deciding to infuse the new currency, Das said: "Firstly, the logistical reason behind the very decision was to make it convenient for the citizens to exchange or deposit the old notes and get the value out of the new notes."
"Secondly, it was in the year 2000-2001 when the Rs. 1000 notes were introduced. Now, after 15 years there was a need to revive the currency as the value of rupee has depreciated," he added.
Das further said the RBI is going to closely monitor and regulate the release of Rs. 2000 note, adding the central bank will in due course infuse notes of Rs. 1000 in the market with a new design, dimension and color combination, which will look different from the old ones.
The Economic Affairs Secretary further said all denomination of notes will be reintroduced with new design and new features in the coming months.
"The legal tender status of the existing Rs. 100, 50 notes and other denomination notes will continue to be a legal tender. The new currency will be infused in from time to time as and when the new series notes are introduced," he added. (ANI)

You like third party controllers?
Unfortunately that's just a wireless Classic Controller... you still need the Remote. I was hoping for a Classic Controller/Remote integrated into one.
#5 Delicious!
#6 Show me your moves!
Posted 26 January 2012 - 05:35 PM
I imagine if the wii u doesn't have a completely wireless version of the classic/classic pro controllers released then we'll still have to deal with these current forms of the controllers or the wiitablet controller which looks to be a bit too big to hold in your lap comfortably imo.
#7 Strell where art thou?
Posted 26 January 2012 - 08:10 PM
I can't believe these things still sell used for the same price they used to be new. Although the Wavebird was the first awesome wireless controller I ever had before wireless became standard.
#9 CAGiversary!
Posted 27 January 2012 - 12:26 AM
Ok actually, it does exist, someone on another forum is talking about it. Its called the Datel Wireless Retro Controller. But it may be quite costly to get one as I think they are very hard to get these days.
