Straight off the showroom floor Corvettes are special cars. That's because Team Corvette has always been really good at nailing ALL the fundamentals of creating excellent performance. And that basic competence translates even to the world of classics, where all kinds of enthusiasts aspire to four generations of 2-door, big horsepower goodness like moths to a flame. The hottest part of that flame is Chevy's hallowed C2, and this 1965 Sting Ray, in many ways, represents the very best of the C2 market. If you're shopping for an enjoyable collector car that's poised to appreciate in value, here's the perfect purchase!
Bolted together at GM's storied St. Louis manufacturing facility in April of 1965, this slick C2 is the kind of classic that you can look at and virtually sense top-notch caretaking. In late 2006, the car was completely restored to better-than-factory standards by a very passionate enthusiast. That body-off reboot began with solid, original fiberglass being lovingly sanded and gratuitously sprayed in correct GM Goldwood Yellow 2-stage. When that pigment dried, the car's doors and lids were carefully adjusted to ensure excellent fit and finish. And vibrant factory trim was applied to ardently accentuate Bill Mitchell's razor-sharp style lines.
During its detailed restoration, this coupe was gifted a correct Chevrolet big block. But then, a few years later, one of the car's owners wanted to get a little more serious about authenticity. So, he sourced a date-correct 396 that was cast around the same time this classic was assembled and outfitted the big mill with many authentic components. Top dead center, a painted and decaled air cleaner joins bright stainless fluid lines and an AC cylinder filter in feeding a correct Holley carburetor. Under that carb, a correct Winters intake rides on a spotless Chevy Orange block, that, with the help of a hydraulic roller cam and factory-spec rotating assembly, creates pump-friendly 10 to 1 compression. At the sides of that block, correct exhaust manifolds and correct heads, fitted with high quality roller rockers, complement stamped and painted valve covers. At the back of those covers, chrome-capped ignition makes good use of sleeved plug wires. Cooling is provided by a stamped and decaled radiator, which routes fluid past a correct alternator via reproduction GM hoses and a correct array of clamps. And details like a rebuilt brake booster, a reproduction Delco battery and a familiar Harrison expansion tank round out a freshly detailed engine bay.
Speaking of "freshly detailed", flip this big block Vette upside down and you'll find a freshly detailed chassis that's super clean, and today, looks much nicer than it did when it rolled out of the factory. At the center of that chassis, an original Muncie M21 4-speed hangs a Muncie (P) assembled on March (03) 22nd (22) 1965 build stamp between a correct 3851325 casting number and matching partial VIN. When engaged, that transmission utilizes a posi-traction differential and stout, 3.55 gears to deliver the neck snapping launches and potent acceleration Duntov Corvettes are famous for. At the ends of the car, a fully restored double A-arm front and independent rear suspension is completely detailed, from its heavy-duty, big block-exclusive sway bar all the way to its transverse rear spring. At the corners of the car, power-assisted disc brakes mix excellent handling with quick stops. Above those mechanicals, clean and solid floor tubs are bolted to a straight, Satin Black frame. Exhaust rumbles through ceramic-coated drops to shielded, chambered and polished side pipes. Power meets the ground through familiar Chevy turbines, which spin a fresh set of 205/75R15 BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial goldlines around polished, patriotic spinners. And everything, from this Corvette's leak-free fuel tank to its Chevy Orange oil pan, is fully sorted and ready to roll.
Swivel this Sting Ray's lightweight doors and, naturally, you'll find a correct Black cockpit. The car's cushy and pliable seats have attended just enough show parades to keep both their comfort and composure. Its like-new carpet, protected by color-keyed mats, still features fade-free shading. At the front of that carpet, stylish, aircraft-inspired telemetry, which includes a big block-exclusive, 6,500 RPM tach, joins brushed metal accents to decorate Chevy's familiar dual-cowl dash. In the middle of that dash, a waterfall center stack hangs a continuous motion clock and correct Delco AM/FM radio above a chrome, fully functional shifter. Opposite that waterfall, black, stainless-trimmed panels anchor chrome door and window hardware above perfectly placed armrests. In front of the driver, a classy wood steering wheel spins satin-finished spokes around a pristine cross-flag horn button. And behind the passengers, a fully carpeted storage compartment displays virtually no signs of use.
A simple breakdown of this Chevy's VIN and trim tag verifies the authenticity of its current restoration:
1 – Chevrolet Motor Division
9 — Corvette
37 — Coupe
5 — 1965 model year
S — Assembled at GM's St. Louis manufacturing facility
XXXXXX — Production Sequence Number
- I2 — Assembled on April 2nd, 1965
- 65 — 1965 model year
- 437 — Coupe
- S – Body manufactured at GM's St. Louis manufacturing facility
- 2593 — Manufacturer's sequence number
- 402 — Black leather interior
- AA – No restrictions on optional equipment
- 900XX – Goldwood Yellow paint
Quite honestly, it doesn't get much better than this carefully restored Corvette. It's a highly polished, highly correct C2 that can be driven and enjoyed without the stress of a 'ropes and red carpet' original. And best of all, with its timeless aesthetics and highly desirable 396/4-speed drivetrain, the car is poised to increase in value. If you've been searching for a fully sorted classic that looks, and more importantly, feels right, don't miss the opportunity to claim this stunning '65 Sting Ray!

Product Description
Tyrant, blackmailer, racketeer, murderer - his influence reaches every level of American society. Meet Don Corleone, a friendly man, a just man, a reasonable man.
The deadliest lord of the Cosa Nostra. The Godfather. A modern masterpiece, The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1940s criminal underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking forty years after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder and family values is a true classic.
About the Author
Mario Puzo was born in New York. He is the author of the bestselling novel The Godfather and many other acclaimed novels. Puzo also wrote many screenplays, including those for the three Godfather movies, for which he won two academy awards. He died at his home in Long Island, New York, at the age of seventy-eight.

Comments about The Godfather:
Like most people, I've seen and loved the movie... this book just ads another dimension...
The book is brilliantly written and gives the characters a depth that the movie never could...
I'm glad I'd seen the movie first, as it allowed me to visualise the legendary cast each time I read the characters name.
"The narrative bowls along... to keep readers turning pages all the way to an explosive showdown." * Daily Mail * "Here is all the classic material of Mafia mythology... spins a spell all its own" * The Times * "The Godfather, one of the most entertaining and absorbing popular novels of the postwar period... Puzo's masterpiece" -- Robert McCrum * Observer * "A splendid and distinguished blood saga of the Cosa Nostra, the American Mafia, and of the whirl created by five families of mafiosi at war in New York" * Sunday Times * "Puzo's genius was to create a world so thick with personality and acknowledged rules of behaviour, along with its crime and violence, that reading his books becomes a seriously guilty pleasure" * New York Post *

Washington (CNSNews.com) - In response to what he said appears to be a growing tendency of the courts "to establish and enforce social policy preferences" instead of "the people through their elected representatives," Senate Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT) held a hearing Tuesday to examine federal lawsuits against the tobacco industry and gun manufacturers.
Hatch said he is concerned that other industries, such as pharmaceuticals, automobiles, fast food and alcoholic beverages may soon be targeted by the Justice Department for similar litigation.
"The scope of these lawsuits are immense," Hatch said in his opening statement. "The courts indeed have never been considered the proper institution to determine policy," he added, referring to Federalist Paper #78 by Alexander Hamilton.
"The only proper role for the courts, therefore to Hamilton and other Framers, is to render 'judgment' by interpreting law in particular cases or controversies," said Hatch. "Using the courts to create or enforce policy objectives, no matter how worthwhile an end, distorts the constitutional system of separation of powers and weakens republican democracy," he added.
Under the Clinton Administration, the Department of Justice has pursued lawsuits against companies as diverse as tobacco, gun and computer makers to bring about regulations that Congress was unwilling to pass. Hatch said that right belongs to the elected Members of Congress and state legislatures.
Besides the federal tobacco suit, 29 cities and counties have filed suits against gun manufacturers claiming that they are responsible for increased criminal use of guns, Hatch said.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that the wave of big government lawsuits under the Clinton Administration represents a "frightening trend" that benefits few people, except lawyers and bureaucrats.
"These suits are becoming the 'Great American Hoax' - pulled off by conspiring governments and trial lawyers," said McConnell. "The governments and trial lawyers talk about sympathetic victims, innocent children, and injured people, then they twist the law to file a suit on behalf of the government - not the victims. The result? The government gets bigger, the trial lawyers get richer, and the injured people get nothing," he said.
However, Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), said that government litigation can play a "crucial role" in setting public policy, and without government lawsuits industries such as tobacco would not take steps to warn the public about their products. He pointed to recent tobacco company ad campaigns warning cigarette smokers about the addictive nature of smoking as well as its carcinogenic factors.
"There is no compelling reason to believe that any of these steps would have been undertaken at all," said Reed, were it not for a $500 billion dollar lawsuit brought against the tobacco industry by a number of state attorneys general.
Reed and Sen. Robert Torricelli (D-NJ) are co-sponsoring the Lead Poisoning Recovery Act (S. 1821), which would allow the federal government to recover from the manufactures of lead paint public resources spent on treating and preventing childhood lead poisoning.

Hydroxyzine is commonly used as an antihistamine, anti-itch and sedative product for pets. Conditions for use may include allergic reactions or hypersensitivity reactions that may or may not have been in contact with an allergen. This drug has been used in dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, and birds, and can be found in many dosage forms.
After giving your pet a dose, hydroxyzine can last for 6-8 hours in dogs and up to 12 hours in cats. The most common adverse effect seen in pets is sedation. Sometimes, this medication can have the opposite effect and lead to excitability. Rarely, dogs may get tremors and cats may become thirsty or develop behavioral changes.If you miss giving your pet the dose, give it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on your normal schedule. Do not double up on doses.
You can find a Client Information Sheet which provides a summary of information about HydrOXYzine Tablets for Pets by following the link below:

Currency begets funds, and investing in residences, condos, commercial and also other varieties of property with your savings nest egg is a wonderful technique of getting the particular snowball moving in your favour. Among the finest techniques a novice to property management investing can follow would be the prolonged view associated with property. Purchase anything you feel confident is a fairly easy to book place. Acquire it only if you can pay a bargain price. Be sure it truly is within an area where by right now there is a fantastic dose of demand, and ensure the place remains safe and secure, very comfortable and has charm. Work with a rental property management services to handle the rental on your behalf. (You really should not ever bog down in this task, but alternatively, should try to keep your routine open regarding instructing yourself, and searching for additional properties.)
By continuing to keep that very first residence rented, it'll pay its particular way. In case you buy a home that your chosen firm frequently has difficulty keeping hired, wait until it's a seller's market and sell it off and acquire another one. You will learn along the way, not to mention if you are wise, you can expect to attempt to make the neighbourhood estate real estate agents your buddies, for they are really particularly knowledgeable people so far as any nearby market place runs, and whenever they like you, they will inform you if your form of properties they know you are seeking come about the marketplace - sometimes even before they are listed! Have a plan and try and use it very carefully, and then in the blink of an eye, before you know it an individual's snowball will probably trigger an avalanche.

But it seems wires have been crossed with regard to the Samsung Galaxy S5.According to Korean site ET News, January is actually the start of production for Samsung's next flagship, with a total of 800,000 to 1 million devices expected to be produced in the first month, reaching 6 million by the end of February. By April, there should be enough stock to go round. That's the theory anyway.Samsung is said to be looking at releasing two versions of the Galaxy S5, a premium metal framed version with flexible 5-inch OLED display and a more standard plastic cased 5-inch AMOLED model. Presumably different models for different markets. The report adds that the phone should also come with a 64-bit processor and 3GB RAM, along with a 4000mAh battery and Android 4.4 KitKat. Samsung's newest 16MP ISOCELL camera has already been rumoured and is again flagged up in this report.If production is starting in January, I think we can expect a lot more leaks in the coming weeks, hitting a crescendo as we hit 2014. We'll make sure you know about the pick of them.Sources: TechRadar and ET News

The Battle with the Black Star took place within the Sol System asteroid belt, after days of the EAS Lexington and its Earthforce task group enduring hit and run attacks.
The Black Star (known as the Drala Fi in at least one form of Minbari) ambushed the task group by luring them into an asteroid field with a Minbari flyer pretending to be damaged, and opening a jump point in the middle of the fleet. The Lexington was severely damaged in the opening barrage and was left for dead, while the Drala Fi pursued the retreating Earth ships. First officer Commander John Sheridan took command as Captain Roger Sterns had been killed when a support strut collapsed into his command chair.
Knowing that the Minbari would accept no surrender and would even pursue and destroy a crippled ship, Sheridan ordered several of the nearby asteroids to be mined with thermonuclear warheads. With the trap set, the Lexington broadcast a distress signal, knowing full well it would attract the attention of Minbari. The Drala Fi took two proximity blasts from the warheads before being completely destroyed, giving Earth a much-needed victory and propaganda coup. [1]
Though the Minbari considered the destruction of the Drala Fi a despicable act of cowardice, and labeled Sheridan the "Starkiller," Earth justified the desperate tactic by pointing out that the Minbari were attempting to murder the crew of a crippled and helpless ship. Even a decade later, Sheridan refused to apologize for the incident, citing it as Earth's only victory in the war. [2][3][4][5]
- A continuity issue may exist regarding the destruction of the Drala Fi: when Captain Sheridan explains the incident to Susan Ivanova upon taking command of Babylon 5 in 2259, he states that the nuclear warheads destroyed the Drala Fi and three of its heavy cruisers. However, when the engagement is depicted in In the Beginning, only the Drala Fi is seen to be destroyed. However, this does not discount the possibility of the enemy cruisers arriving shortly after the events depicted in In The Beginning and being destroyed by the third and final nuclear warhead that was out of range of the Drala Fi.

I have to admit, I have a really hard time watching my children grow up. I'm positive that I'm waayyy overprotective at times, however, I just can't help it. Thankfully, Willie is around to balance out my overprotectiveness, at least a little bit.
A few months ago, they built a rodeo arena within a mile of our home. Ever since then my husband has been dying to go. The kids were all pumped up and ready to go, so we attended last weekend.
I attempted to put my fears aside, when I found out that this (watch the video below) was one of the reasons we went!
That, my friends, was my 4 year old!!! Agh! Who knew they let kids do that?! In my freaked-out-mommy-state, I stopped filming before you could see his HUGE grin. He was ever so proud of himself, even though mommy was about to flip, and that is a finer thing!

picks Selections by round: 1,
Sharks use 20th pick on German center Goc
Goc scouting report:
He's considered the best prospect Germany has produced to date.
He's 17 and already has played two years in Germany's elite league.
Hard worker. Excellent skater. He's the younger brother of New Jersey
Devils prospect Sasha Goc.
By Kevin Allen, USA TODAY
SUNRISE, Fla. (Ticker) The San Jose Sharks, whose
first experience with a German player has been a positive one, used the 20th
overall pick in Saturday's NHL draft on center Marcel Goc.
Only 17, Goc already has played two seasons in Germany's top professional league.
The last 16-year-old to play at that level was Marco Sturm, who had 14 goals
and 18 assists for the Sharks this past season.
"I don't know much about San Jose, but I played with Marco Sturm in the
World Championship in Germany," Goc said. "He told me a little bit,
that it's good to play there, but that's it."
The 6-1, 187-pound Goc is NHL Central Scouting's 12th-ranked European prospect
after totaling 13 goals and 28 assists for Schwenningen. His older brother,
Sascha, is a defenseman in the New Jersey Devils' organization.
Said Sascha of his younger sibling, "He is more talented than me. I think
he will have a very good career in North America."
Marcel Goc is a faceoff specialist who is hard to knock off his feet and works
well in traffic, along the boards and in the corners.
"He's a good all-around player," Sharks director of amateur scouting
Tim Burke said. "He was in a lot of pressure situations this season and
played well in all of them. He was an important player on his team."

Whale meat 'made into dog food'
Meat from whales caught under Japan's "research" programme is so
abundant that it is being sold as pet food, according to a UK
conservation group.
Thousands of tonnes of
whale meat has been stockpiled as more animals are killed each year,
says the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS).
The Japanese government has attempted to sell the whale meat to schools but the price has continued to fall.
A company is selling meat on the web as "healthy and safe natural" dog food.
"A quiet whale meat boom is starting," says the website hakudai.com.
"The number of pet-owners who care about their animals' health are
growing, recognising the nutritious value of whale meat," it adds.
"Now the demand and the sales are soaring."
Nutritious and delicious
We have heard many arguments from Japan… but they have never stated that they needed to kill whales to feed their dogs
Mark Simmonds
The website describes whale meat as "organic" and fished "freshly out of the water".
Mark Simmonds, director of science at WDCS, said: "Whaling is a cruel
activity and the fact that Japan is killing these amazing animals to
produce dog food is shocking.
"We have heard many arguments from Japan over the years
about why whaling is necessary to them but they have never stated that
they needed to kill whales to feed their dogs."
A global moratorium on commercial whaling has been in
place since the 1980s, but hunting for scientific research is permitted
under the rules of the International Whaling Commission (IWC).
The hunting is condemned by most conservation groups on
the grounds that it is inhumane, unnecessary and may harm fragile
Japan and Iceland run scientific programmes, while
Norway lodged a formal objection to the moratorium and maintains an
openly commercial operation.
A number of indigenous peoples are also allowed to hunt under tight restrictions.
Expanding the kill
The sheer volume of Japan's operations makes it the principal target for the wrath of conservation groups.
In the current hunting season, it launched a programme called JARPA-2
which doubles its annual minke whale catch from Antarctic waters.
JARPA-2 will remove 935 minkes and 10 fin whales each year;
while its other research programme JARPN takes 100 sei whales, 100
minkes, 50 Bryde's whales and five sperm whales annually from the north
The IWC obliges countries practising scientific whaling
to process what they catch, and the meat from Japan's programmes has
always found its way into restaurants.
Last year, it initiated a scheme to distribute whale meat to schools, and a fast-food chain began selling whale burgers.
But the latest news suggests demand from Japan's human population is running some way behind the recently expanded supply.
WCDS quotes research showing that the price of meat from Bryde's whales
has halved over the last five years, with other species falling as
Protest for survival
Most whale species are at risk of extinction, and last year 63 members
of the IWC's Scientific Committee condemned the JARPA expansion.
"With the new proposal, Japan will increase its annual take… to
levels approaching the annual commercial quotas for Antarctic minke
whales that were in place prior to the moratorium," they declared.
In January a group of 17 countries, including the UK, mounted a formal diplomatic protest.
"The UK is totally opposed to any activity that undermines the present
moratorium on commercial whaling," said Britain's fisheries minister
Ben Bradshaw at the time.
"We urge Japan to reconsider its position and end this
unjustified and unnecessary slaughter which is regarded by many
countries and their public as a means to bypass the IWC moratorium."
Japan maintains that hunting is part of its cultural heritage, which other nations have no right to condemn

By Paul Newberry, AP Sports Writer
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. The Atlanta Falcons failed to work out a trade Saturday for hometown star Calvin Johnson. Instead, they gladly settled for three players they expect to become instant starters.
The Falcons took Arkansas defensive end Jamaal Anderson at No. 8 overall in NFL draft, having moved up two spots last month in a deal that sent backup quarterback Matt Schaub to the Houston Texans.
Anderson is expected to take over at left end for Patrick Kerney, and the Falcons believe they picked up two other starters early in the second round: Texas offensive guard Justin Blalock and another Arkansas player, cornerback Chris Houston.
There was plenty of speculation that Atlanta would try to move up to grab Johnson, Georgia Tech's all-world receiver and rated by many as the top prospect in the draft. General manager Rich McKay talked with Detroit about the No. 2 pick but nothing came of it.
"I never got the thought they were interested in trading the pick," said McKay, who also knew his team had too many needs to give up a bunch of picks for one player - no matter how special he might be.
The Lions selected Johnson after LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell was drafted first overall by the Oakland Raiders.
Anderson addressed one of the Falcons' myriad needs: a replacement for Kerney, who voided his contract and signed a lucrative deal with the Seattle Seahawks.
"We had three players we were ready to take, and Jamaal was certainly one of them," McKay said, without revealing the other two. "Going into the draft, defensive end was the top need on our list."
The 6-foot-5, 288-pound Anderson ranked third in the nation and led the Southeastern Conference with 13.5 sacks as a junior last season. He also had 19.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
"I'm ready to go to work," he said in a telephone interview. "I'm about to hit the weight room right now."
Anderson was a standout receiver in high school, and he signed with the Razorbacks not knowing exactly where they intended to play him. Shortly after arriving on campus, "I went to the defensive meeting room and never looked back."
He had to bulk up, of course, but the additional weight didn't have much effect on his athleticism. The Falcons also believe there's plenty of room for improvement, even though Anderson will be counted on to start right away.
"I can make plays on the run and on the pass," he said. "I feel like I'm a dual threat."
The Falcons passed on a player that Petrino was very familiar with: Louisville defensive tackle Amobi Okoye. In a striking twist, he went two picks later to the Texans - the Falcons' original spot in the first round.
"It comes down to two things: need and where we had the players graded," Petrino said. "I think it's the right pick, no question about it."
While John Abraham will be the main pass-rushing threat at right end, the Falcons are counting on Anderson to provide more pressure than the traditional left end.
"You don't have a lot of guys in the league playing left end who can rush off the edge," McKay said. "We like the fact that against SEC competition, he stepped up and rushed the passer. But he's got a body type that can also play the run. We like that combination."
It was a crucial draft for Atlanta, which also needed to upgrade safety, receiver and the offensive line. The Falcons took Blalock at No. 39 and Houston just two picks later.
In the third round, Atlanta took aim at another need by taking Illinois State receiver Laurent Robinson at No. 75. The Division I-AA player joins a disappointing group that includes former first-rounders Michael Jenkins and Roddy White.
The 6-3, 320-pound Blalock fits with Petrino's plan to get more size up front. Under the previous staff, the Falcons preferred smaller, quicker linemen who specialized in zone blocking schemes.
"They don't draft guys the first day to sit around the weight room," said Blalock, who will move into the left guard spot held last year by Matt Lehr. "I'm excited to come in and play right away."
McKay said the Falcons were determined to land Blalock after failing to sign free agent Derrick Dockery, who went to Buffalo for a seven-year, $49 million deal.
Atlanta was set to pick again at No. 44, but McKay worked a deal with Minnesota to move up three spots, sending the Vikings one of his three fourth-round picks (No. 121). The Falcons used it on Houston, a 5-9 1/2, 185-pound defender whose selection signals that Jimmy Williams will be moving from cornerback to safety.
Houston, who generally covered the other team's top receiver at Arkansas, gave up five touchdown passes but also had three interceptions and deflected 13 other throws.
"To have them trade up for me is a real blessing," Houston said. "I always loved watching Atlanta in football. That was my favorite team, just watching Michael Vick and DeAngelo Hall."
Now, Houston will likely be starting at cornerback opposite Hall, a two-time Pro Bowler.
"Oh man, that's crazy," Houston said. "I know DeAngelo Hall is a hard worker. I don't want to let him down. I don't want to be anything less than he is."

Kellan Lutz is raging against his beefcake-iness, saying that while millions of gals lust over his ripped physique every time he goes shirtless in the Twilight movies, he's more than just a luscious man muffin.
The 25-year-old actor tells Us Magazine that while
"it's nice to be one of the guys that can help sell a movie by taking his shirt off … By no means do I want to be a piece of meat for the rest of my career."
Lutz goes on to say that even when he's asked to do talk show appearances, "they follow it up with requesting you take your shirt off."
When he's not melting hearts (and eyes) with his bod, Kellan's all about doing good. Aside from his constant animal awareness contributions, he recently helped out with the St. Bernard Project, where he helped construct five houses in New Orleans for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Lutz said of his handiness: "We were working around the clock at 50 hours at a time in different shifts," Lutz marveled. "We got it done just in time. We had so many people come out and lend a helping hand. It was so touching."
He's even hoping that he can convince his co-star Robert Pattinson to one day show off his carpentry skills. Of R-Pattz possibly lending a hand, Lutz said that "it would be a great surprise for everyone … Although I would have to take video of Rob trying to hammer a nail, he might hurt himself."

Pontiac automobile owners have become used to a certain level of reliable service when driving their Pursuit around town. Car aficionados appreciate the good looks built into each Pontiac, and understand that only the highest quality repair Pursuit parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Pontiac vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your automobile. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement A/C Compressor to repair your vehicle.
We may take this for granted, but it wasn't until the 1950s that vehicles were equipped with reliable air conditioning. On your Pontiac Pursuit, the main component of this system is the A/C compressor. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the Pontiac Pursuit A/C compressor, as the name would suggest, compresses this refrigerant into a dense liquid. After that it goes to an expansion valve that turns it into a gas so it can flow through the evaporator. That cools it so it can emit cold air. If your car or truck did not have a functioning A/C compressor, you would not be able to cool your vehicle on hot days.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Pontiac Pursuit part for your needs. Bring your Pursuit back to life with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Pontiac Pursuit A/C Compressor for your 2006, 2005 model.

Christmas Eve open thread and news roundup
**Written by Doug Powers
Happy Christmas Eve, all! I've got some family gatherings going on today and tomorrow, as do many of you. For today we'll do a little roundup of items in the news for some holiday discussion until we're back up to more full speed later in the week.
Here are a few things I ran across earlier today:
–The White House is expected to respond to a petition to deport CNN's Piers Morgan over his gun control views. The petition now has over 40,000 signatures. However, the British don't seem to want him back. Because of that, Morgan issued this video response addressing why he should be allowed to stay in the states:
–At the Hawaii funeral of Senator Daniel Inouye, dozens of mourners were reportedly hospitalized after going into shock when President Obama suddenly and unexpectedly mentioned Daniel Inouye.
–Here's a real surprise: President Obama has been named CNN's "Most Intriguing Person of 2012." In justifying the honor, CNN cited Obama's successful presidential campaign and his steadfast refusal to deport Piers Morgan.
–"Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my Volt tonight": The Obama administration has cleared Santa's new "fuel efficient" flight plan.
–A Gannett-owned newspaper in New York has published the names and home addresses of every person registered to own a handgun in two counties. It's being called a blatant intimidation tactic against gun owners, but on the other side of the coin, the paper has provided burglars with a treasure trove of information about which places to avoid.
Brownell's Inc. says the company sold three and a half years worth of ammunition magazines in just 72 hours. The Obama administration is expected to demand that a full repeal of the Law of Unintended Consequences be included in any fiscal cliff package the president signs.
–Via Twitchy, here's the screen cap of the day:
Action News is saving their "are sloppy joes sexist?" and "tater tots: tasty oven-baked bits of homophobia" exposés for Feb sweeps.
–A man in Sweden is reportedly receiving disability benefits for an addiction to heavy metal music. I'm told there's treatment available for the disorder in the Yngwie Malmsteen wing of the Betty Fjord clinic in Goteborg.
This time of year, some people are hard to shop for, but others are real easy to please. Pass the Fritos.
–Penn Jillette schools a couple of libs.
And finally, from Reason TV, it's A Joe Biden (War on) Christmas:

- Return to Labyrinth of Touhou: Dungeon Guide
30F: The Gallery of Enshrined Champions
The final floor! If you expect a huge layout with difficult puzzles, you'll be let down. Instead, it is very small in size and couldn't be simpler. It's mainly a hub for grinding and the 3 final bosses. By going south from the stairs, you'll get to an open area that has three sealed teleporters, one in the west, one in the east and one in the south. If you fulfill their requirements, they lead you into big, open areas that each contain one of the final bosses. The east teleporter leads to the Serpent of Chaos and can only be passed if you recruited all the characters of Plus Disk. Should you still be missing anyone, look into Labyrinth of Touhou: Characters 6. The west teleporter can be used when you have defeated all 4 Bloodstained Seal bosses Ver. 2 on 21F. It leads you to Hibachi#1 and #2, Ver. 2. The south teleporter can be passed when both the Serpent of Chaos and Hibachi#1 and #2, Ver. 2 have been defeated. This one brings you to ***WINNER***, the ultimate boss of Plus Disk.
Notable Enemies
All the random encounters are Version 3 (Version 2 of the 3 Plus-Disk-battles) of the recruitable Touhou characters. All of them have boss-like character, but the old strategies still apply. The span of difficulty varies greatly and it doesn't always matter how early or late you've first encountered Version 1 of a character when you're trying to judge it's difficulty. Some are more harmless than others (e.g. Rumia, Reisen, Suwako, Tenshi (whose Violent Motherland is kind of disappointing this time)), while others are surprisingly tough (e.g. Okuu, Yuugi, Alice, Mokou and Chen, who may be the worst of them all). It is worth noting that Rinnosuke appears to be glitched, in that once you destroy the first of his elemental forms he will continuously use Form Destruction until he reaches his final form, making his battle much quicker and easier than it should be. As well, his final form has only 200k HP, so it should be trivial to finish him off after this point.
You want to spend a LOT of time grinding on 29F before you can try your luck on these battles (levels should be about 325-375 for the easier ones), and even then grinding here may be too difficult and slow for a long time. However, the enemies may drop really good items. Here is a complete list:
Alice Margatroid: Necronomicon
Hong Meiling: Life-Support-System
Yuyuko Saigyouji: Ultimate Zun Hat
Tenshi Hinanawi: Miogaruna Scale
Nitori Kawashiro: Gantz Suit
Rinnosuke Morichika: Awakened Exoskeleton
Cirno: Mukku's Fur Cloak
Yuka Kazami: Rhododendron Dress
Shikieiki Yamaxanadu: Judas Pain
Rumia: Black Hole Ocarina
Utsuho Reiuji: Psycho Gun
Yukari Yakumo: Immortal School Badge
Eientei-Trio: Egg
Chen: Triple-Speed Antenna
Yuugi Hoshiguma: High King Fingolfin's Cestus
Youmu Konpaku: Holy Blade "Sunlight"
Fujiwara no Mokou: Extinction Cannon
Reisen Udongein Inaba: Evolving Gun "Crimson"
Suwako Moriya: Arturos Gem
Rin Kaenbyou: Portable Makoto Ito
Flandre Scarlet: Flandre unfortunately does not drop anything.
Serpent of Chaos
|Level Recommendation
|Skill Points
|Machine God Lucifer (10% dropchance)
| If you face the Serpent of Chaos, you have a hard and long battle ahead of you. It always gets three consecutive attacks when its ATB fills up. Apart from that, the battle is divided in three phases, all of them have about the same length: In the first phase, it will use single-target elemental magic as its first two moves, while his third can be a physical attack or something that inflicts ailments or Magic Drain. In the second phase, it will use multi-target elemental magic that is still not too threatening, but may follow stronger physical attacks like Samidare Slash and also Hyper-Space-Slash, which may inflict DTH. In its last phase, it uses very strong multi-target elemental magic like Exhalatio and Ether Flare, and will throw out its most dreaded attacks on his third move: Demon-slashing-dance, Destroy Magic, which can be extremely crippling for you, Thousand-Hand-Cannon (240k, DEF ignoring) and Scourge (2m, piercing). Obviously, this is not a phase to hold out in long, so throw out everything you have. About the Serpent itself: It is always very resistant to SPI and WND (except for turn 0, before the Serpent got its first turn, it is vulnerable to everything, but will start being immune to WND and SPI afterwards) and its other resistances will switch around every turn. He is 'vulnerable' to the two elements he uses in the first two attacks, with vulnerable meaning 100% damage instead of 20% damage. If you dish out something like a Master Spark, it is always a gamble whether it will do decent or pitiful damage. He is immune to paralysis and vulnerable but highly resistant to debuffs; his debuff resistance paired with his ability to get 3 turns at once means debuffing him will have little effect. It is best to rely on strong non-elemental attacks, therefore few damage dealers match Shikieiki's value in this battle.
The key to this battle is, apart from equipping high ailment and elemental resistances and SP-recovery-items to counter all the magic-draining, to estimate when the Serpent will get its turn. Overall, it's slow and will have a lot of delay after its barrage of 3 attacks. When it acts, have characters with decent defenses and high-SP-recovery in the active party to avoid losing your glass cannons early on. You really don't want e.g. Shikieiki (though not completely a glass cannon) hit by a Scourge or a Magic Drain.
Hibachi #1 and #2, Ver. 2
|Level Recommendation
|Skill Points
|~35,000,000 each
|Physical Reactor (10% dropchance)
|Not too much has changed in strategy since Ver. 1 way back in post-game-content of the basic game. Try once more to keep the damage dealt to both enemies equal. Both Hibachi #1 and #2 will do their Needle Parade, by far the strongest move they have, in the same turn, but their ATB will usually not be in sync, so you can switch out injured characters after the first barrage. This time however, you will want Hibachi #1 to die first, because if he's the only left, the damage of his Needle Parade will become devastating, whereas Hibachi #2 should be bearable.
|Level Recommendation
|Skill Points
|100,000,000 + 7,500,000 * x
|Regalia (10+x% dropchance)
| While grinding for this battle, make sure not to neglect boosting up your elemental resistances, you need them as high as possible. Even from the start of the battle, the Winner hits incredibly hard with his multi-target elemental spells, in fact so hard, it might be a good idea to immediately trigger Rinnosuke's World Shaking Military Rule, so that you immediately have a strong defense up. Then switch in Ran to increase the defense of the currently non-active party. Any character that doesn't have any defenses up will probably be one-shotted. Apart from elemental spells, the Winner may hit with physical single-target and row-target spells, of course, as deadly as the rest of his attacks. Try having Reimu ready before he gets his turn, so that you can heal quickly. If he uses his HP-Restoring-Medicine, don't be irritated: It should be easy to deal the 7 million HP back in damage during the breather that he gives you.
At about half-way through the battle, he'll use new attack. While he doesn't hit much harder than he did before, his new attacks can make the battle very unpredictable: He may buff his SPD with Lightspeed Movement or Wand of Speed and his defenses with True Resistance, Flesh to Stone, Resist All, and Ball of Invincibility. The latter does in fact make him invincible for a few turns, at least against attacks that don't ignore defenses. He may very rarely uses Medicine of Life to heal a whopping 25 million HP, but you should be able to deal enough damage like before. His most fearsome move is by far Time Stop. It is like paralysis, will hit your whole party, but it cannot be resisted like regular paralysis, and it also slightly damage any action gauge that would be full. He will get a few attacks (about 1-3) while you're affected. You can only pray that someone in your party survives this onslaught and that you still have the means to recover from it. After you've beaten the Winner, you have technically beaten Plus-Disk. However, the Serpent of Chaos, the Hibachi Twins as well as the Winner himself will respawn the next time you enter 30F. The Serpent and the the Twins will stay the same and can be fought again for their drops, however, the Winner will get stronger with each battle. The "x" in his HP is how often you've beaten him before, every victory will increase his HP by 7,5 million and of course increase all his other stats as well. You could say that the game is endless... For now...

Crazed garda killer 'shot casino worker twice in botched robbery'
Crazed garda killer Adrian Crevan Mackin was involved in a botched casino robbery during which a woman was shot twice, according to reports.
A report in today's Irish Daily Star alleges Mr Mackin's involvement in the shooting of a casino employee five years ago.
According to the report, the then 19-year-old pumped two bullets into a mother-of-two in the 2010 botched robbery at Casino Palace arcade on Newry's Upper Water Street.
Grainy CCTV images show a hooded and balaclava-clad individual in light-coloured clothing cocking a handgun before blasting the 37-year-old woman. The shocking incident occurred at a casino in Newry.
The cowardly murderer fled the scene with two accomplices but not before trying to shoot his victim a third time. Fortunately the gun jammed and the woman was spared her life.
Emergency services were called and Roisin Rocks was rushed to hospital where she underwent hours of surgery. She had been hit twice in the stomach.
Ms Rocks was left completely traumatised by the harrowing ordeal and suffered with serious kidney problems following the attack. Her father at the time offered a £10,000 reward for any information leading to the shooter's arrest.
Three people were arrested in connection with the incident but they were released and nobody was ever charged.
A dissident source told the Star that it was well known that Mackin was behind the botched robbery.
"It was well known he was behind the attack and was part of the reason why he was completely ostracised from republican circles - he was untrusted and reckless.
"He told people at the time that he accidentally shot the woman, but it;'s clear what his intentions were.
"It was only a matter of time before he killed himself or someone else."
Mackin took his own life after shooting his partner Siobhan Phillips and murdering Garda Tony Golden.
Ms Phillips remains in serious condition in hospital and doctors have expressed concern that she may lose an eye following the horror gun attack.
Last week the Sunday World reported Mackin had threatened to shoot Ms Phillip's grandmother if she walked out on him. The wannabe terrorist issued the sick threat just days before he murdered Garda Golden.
