On the wall of Bobby Hankins' office is a fluorescent reminder of the snowmobile racers successful past. The bright racing vest with a black "32" and "Hankins" on the back is from the racers' first trip to the Winter Xtreme Games in '98. At the end of January, Hankins will return to the X-Games and he hopes to bring home more than just a vest.
"(The vest) reminds me of how much I liked the X-games and I just can't get it out of my head," he said. "But as far as snowcross is concerned, I'm glad I've moved on."
Hankins will return to the X-Games in Aspen from Jan. 30-Feb. 2 to compete in hillcross, an event that was introduced at the games two years ago.
"Hillcross isn't as physically abusive as snowcross," he said. "When I went and watched the snowcross competition in Steamboat last weekend, I was glad that I was done with it, I'm just not excited by it anymore."
In layman's terms, hillcross is a sprint and snowcross is a distance race. The former is a race up a hill with jumps and moguls and generally lasts about 45 seconds to a minute. In the latter, racers compete on a lap course and a typical race is 20 laps.
Hankins, 35, said that he expected the older racers to do well in the more physical-friendly competition.
"There will be at least five guys in their mid-thirties or older," he said.
"The announcers will have a hay day with that and probably call it the 'geriatric X-games.'"
The racer said his years of experience should an advantage.
"I'm more patient and I use my head out there," he said. "You have to be smart in these races and find the best line."
While Hankins will have the experience of years, he won't have the experience of racing going into the X-games. The races at Aspen will be his first while the other racers will have already raced in several competitions.
"I chose not to go out there every weekend because I might get hurt before the big event and it also keeps me fresh and focused," he said. "A lot of those guys coming in will have raced but they will have also
driven 7,000 miles.
"Chris Burandt from Steamboat hurt himself last weekend and might miss the games because of it. I'm more of a big race guy and I like the races that give more exposure."
If Burandt doesn't compete it will cut the number of Colorado racers by one third. Despite the popularity of sleds in Colorado only four riders have competed in the X-games.
"It's hard for guys to compete because of the expense and time it takes," Hankins said.
"I'm probably the only one that will be there who also has a 50-hour-a-week job."
Hankins gives credit for the opportunity to ride to his team and the community.
"The guys at the store and the community has been very supportive of me," Hankins said. "I will probably have the biggest crowd at the games."
The staff at Action Sports, where Hankins works, has helped him build his new sled that he'll ride in the X-games. The custom built machine was put together piece by piece in the Actions Sports shop.
Other riders who compete and help Hankins on the Action Sports team are Dean Reed, Chad Zimmerman, Delf Martinez, Brandon Lyster, Phil Vallen and Chris Brown.
As Hankins watched from his office as the snow came down on Tuesday he reflected on the chance to take out his new sled for the first time as well as his chances at the race.
"This snow is great timing so we can take it out this weekend and get it ready," he said. "Last year in qualifying I beat the silver medallist in last year's X-Games, so I think I can earn a spot on the podium if I ride well."

Vatican City, Dec 10, 2013 / 02:12 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- The Focolare Movement, an organization dedicated to unity among all peoples, has requested that Bishop Raffaello Martinelli of Frascati begin an inquiry into the life of its founder, Chiara Lubich.
"This act invites us all to a life of greater holiness, lived day by day to contribute towards collective sanctity, that sanctity of the people so dear to Chiara's heart," said Maria Voce, president of the movement, Dec. 7.
Lubich founded the Focolare Movement in 1943 "as a current of spiritual and social renewal," according to its website.
Its purpose is to "build a more united world, following the inspiration of Jesus' prayer to the Father 'May they all be one,' respecting and valuing diversity," while focusing on dialogue.
Lubich died in 2008 in Rocca di Papa, a town in the Diocese of Frascati, a Roman suburb. The local bishop's opening of her cause for canonization would involve an inquiry into her life and holiness through interviewing those who knew her and examining her writings.
A statement from the movement indicated that "both ordinary and prominent people, Catholics, members of other Churches, religions and cultures have expressed their hope that this process would be started for Chiara Lubich. It has been said that such recognition will encourage many to take a further personal, spiritual and moral commitment for the good of humanity."
When Lubich died, Benedict XVI said her death "came at the end of a long and fruitful life marked by her tireless love for the abandoned Jesus."
"I thank the Lord for the witness of her life, spent in listening to the needs of modern man in complete faithfulness to the Church and to the Pope…I hope that those who knew and met her, admiring the wonders that God achieved through her missionary ardor, may follow her footsteps and keep her charism alive."
Another member of the Focolare Movement, Chiara Badano, was beatified in 2010.

"Sartorial travel." Two words that when combined create one way of living. Being dressed well and traveling the world simultaneously. We have to agree with our counterparts at Mr. Porter that men have the duty and responsibility of both in life. Traveling the world and experiencing other cultures, other lands, other customs, and yes, other styles is one of the best ways for a man to uncover and discover his sartorial heritage or begin a new sartorial journey. Some men live by these principles. Some businesses operate by them. Imperial Black embodies both.
Founded on the principles of dressing and traveling well, Imperial Black offers men a piece of their personal experience with each product offering. Over the next three weeks we will introduce you to Imperial Black, their philosophy of "sartorial travel", their products, and their passion for culture through editorial and visual scenes. Today we present, "Sartorial Spring", a preview of things to come. The journey begins here. Be prepared with Imperial Black.

Hon. Jeff Miller, Ranking Republican Member, and a Representative in Congress from the State of Florida
Rural America has a strong tradition of military service. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, rural and non-metropolitan counties have the highest concentration of veterans. Both my State of Florida and the Chairman Michaud's State of Maine are included in the top eighteen states with a greater than average proportion of rural veterans.
Not surprisingly, in the Global War on Terror, we continue to see a high rate of combat veterans from rural settings. About forty-one percent of returning veterans from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom live in small communities.
A study conducted by VA researchers, published in the Winter 2006 Journal of Rural Health, "corroborate a concern that living at a distance from regionalized health care implicitly restricts access to and utilization of health services. Veterans may have an additional health care option not available to the general public, but those veterans who live in non-metropolitan areas, far from regionalized high technology or specialized care, continue to experience substantial unmet needs, greater than those of veterans in metropolitan settings."
Central to VA's efforts to address access to health care in less populated settings has been the establishment of Community Based Outpatient Clinic's (CBOCs). Today, VA operates about 700 CBOCs. The May 2004 Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services (CARES) Decision Document provided a framework for prioritizing 156 new CBOCs to improve veteran's access to care. More than half of these new CBOCs were given priority because they were located in rural areas. Yet, of these recommended new sites of care, VA has opened only twelve and expects to activate only an additional twelve in 2007.
CBOCs are important to improving geographic access to care. However, these primary care sites alone, cannot effectively overcome all the barriers that exist for rural veterans to obtain high quality care within their home community. Addressing the identified gaps in mental health services and specialty and acute hospital care, requires developing new approaches for delivering care. This includes the use of emerging technologies, partnering with existing non-VA rural health care providers and enhancing the training and recruitment of health professionals in rural communities.
I thank Chairman Michaud for holding this hearing to examine how we can best ensure all veterans have access to services when and where they are needed. With our current combat operations and an aging veteran population from previous wars, we can anticipate a substantial and rapid increase in demand for VA health care in rural areas. VA must step up to meet both the immediate physical and mental health care needs of all veterans and their families and bear in mind the special and unique rural health care delivery challenges in planning future services.

We're not seeing things - there has been an outbreak of green street signs before a decision is made on whether to ditch the traditional blue of three Super City "legacy" councils.
Auckland Transport last week blamed a contractor for swapping two blue signs to green at a Glendowie intersection, and promised to reinstate them within days.
Asked if the error was confined to the intersection of Navarre Rd with West Tamaki Rd, a spokesman said "we are checking on that".
But yesterday, after being told that the Herald had discovered more greenery peppered around Herne Bay, Ponsonby and One Tree Hill, the council body's spokesman said that about 180 unapproved signs had been installed by the same contractor.
He said finding out exactly where they were - among about 132,000 signs spread around the Super City - would cost money which would be better spent on other activities.
They would not be replaced, at a cost of about $180 each, unless there was a demand from local communities.
The spokesman said that until Auckland Transport decided mid-next year whether to adopt green or blue as its standard throughout the region, its policy would be to replace like colour with like when signs were damaged or worn.
"It is unfortunate that some green signs have gone up, and these signs will be replaced only if there is a demand from the local community for this to happen," he said.
Neither did Auckland Transport intend consulting the public over a preferred colour.
That is despite a call last week from Orakei Local Board leaders, whose territory includes the Glendowie intersection, for them to be consulted.
Auckland Transport says about 63 per cent of the Super City's streets signs are already green, which was the official colour of the former Waitakere City, North Shore City, Manukau City and Rodney District.
Blue was the colour of signs in the former Auckland City, and the Papakura and Franklin districts.
Once Auckland Transport decides which colour to adopt, it expects to take several years to switch over in the course of normal maintenance, as replacing 132,000 signs would cost more than $23 million.
The Herald yesterday found two green signs pointing to streets off Shelly Beach Rd in Herne Bay, and one on Pompallier Tce in Ponsonby, next to a blue sign pointing to John St.
At the Glendowie intersection, which has two green signs and an old blue one sharing the same pole, blue is likely to be back by the weekend.

"Very good, and easy to make. I did tweak the recipe a little: added 1 tblsp oil, used 2 1/3 cup white & 1 cup whole wheat flour, added about 1/4 tsp extra cinnamon. Also used 1 cup sugar & 1 cup Splenda because my husband is diabetic. He loved it - I didn't tell him it was low fat & low sugar."
Reviewed Nov. 14, 2010
"I made a 1/2 batch for my family of 2. It turned out nice, but was rather dense; don't know if that is due to living at 5400 ft in elevation (but I did leave out some leaven and added extra flour to compensate for the elevation). Also, I used fresh pumpkin puree, walnuts, homemade applesauce, and 1 real egg (for a 1/2 batch). I mixed by hand with a fork too. This recipe is worth the time it takes to make."

Curious if someone can tell me about this motor.. I am looking at a US yachts 30 equipped with it, and it is the original motor; the boat is around 30 years old.
She has lived in salt water her whole life as far as I know, and I was told by the owner there are no anodes; he also mentioned that the water lines are thicker to help withstand corrosion. I am mechanically inclined but not familiar with the motor.. if anyone could give me some info or a heads up on what to look for problem-wise when I go see it that would be appreciated.. Thank you |
I would warm the engine up and use a non-contact temperature probe to look for hot spots. Likely problem areas are front of the head. The water passages can rust shut there and need serious cleaning. I would find the water level and look for problems there as that is where the rust line is. Water drains back through the water pump until the level in the engine and ocean are equalized. Not a problem if the water inlet valve is turned off when the engine is shut off.
Search for previous posts on this engine to describe some of the issues. Not a bad engine but parts are outrageously expensive and difficult to get. If it works well it should last many more years but I would check it out closely. Water pumps are problematic and can leak water into the oil. Not a problem if maintained properly or if the newer designed pump is installed. Be sure you can do a cold start. Engine off for at least a day. If it starts easily that is a good sign. Otherwise compression should be checked. Shouldn't smoke, much anyway. It's an old engine so you would expect some wear. Gene |

Just two days after being named U.S. poet laureate, Phil Levine read from a few of his poetry books to an audience at Queens College last week.
"It's curious — when I was first chosen I could hardly say, 'I am the poet laureate of the United States,'" Levine told the crowd at the Benjamin Rosenthal Library, but said he warmed up to the idea so much that he joked his wife had to stop him from saying "fill up for the poet laureate of the United States" when he needed to gas up his car.
A native of Detroit, Levine, 83, has won a Pulitzer Prize and two National Book Awards for his poetry, inspired by his growing up in a manufacturing city.
Levine, who serves a minimum of one year and a maximum of two as U.S. poet laureate, chalked up his appointment to luck.
"How meaningful is it? It's like getting the Pulitzer Prize," he said. "If it had been a different judge, I wouldn't have gotten it. If you're going to judge yourself by the awards you get, then you're an idiot."
After reading a series of poems — including ones written about Levine and his twin brother turning 50 years old, a poem about his French relatives' life in France during World War II and another about overhearing two jazz musicians talking on a Detroit street — Levine answered questions from Nicole Cooley, a Queens College professor and head of the college's Masters in Fine Arts and Creative Writing Program.
Levine said his influence as poet laureate was felt immediately, when he received a letter from a 25-year-old Pennsylvania man who read one of his poems to his mother shortly after he was named poet laureate and she cried.
The man wrote to Levine that he never felt closer to his mother after reading the poem.
"And I thought to myself, 'That's my reward,'" Levine said.
Jonathan Karpinos, a student at Queens College's MFA program, called the experience with Levine "mind-blowing.
"I felt like you sort of get to know a different cross-section of America listening to him," he said. "I loved the poem 'You Can Have It,' about him and his brother. I'm also a twin."
Cooley asked Levine if he believed poets should give voice to what is going on in their time.
"If you want to write about the dream life of angels, go do it," Levine advised. "To ask Emily Dickinson to write like Walt Whitman is pure insanity."
Levine dismissed the idea that poetry does nothing for the world after the suggestion was brought up by Cooley.
"The idea that it makes nothing happen, I think, is kind of silly," he said. "Poetry has made a great deal happen in me. It's changed my life."

Approved treatments for Alzheimer's disease have focused primarily on cholinergic enhancement. New attention, however, is being turned toward preventative treatments such as vitamin E, estrogen, and lipid-lowering agents. Preventative treatments focus on intervening prior to the onset of disease. These treatments are designed to modify the amyloid load. These new approaches require designs that select nonimpaired or minimally impaired populations, using new outcomes with prolonged assessment. The cost of these studies is high, but the potential benefit of delay or prevention of disease is the valuable goal.

Cover your vehicle in a blizzard of light, fluffy foam!
The Wolfgang Tornador Air Foamer HP turns your favorite car shampoo into super thick, long-lasting foam. This air-driven foam gun works with your air compressor to produce frothy, rich foam that has amazing cling. The Wolfgang Tornador Air Foamer HP foam gun can be used for interior or exterior detailing. Use it with a carpet cleaner or with auto shampoo to spray a snow storm of foam! The Wolfgang Tornador Air Foamer HP Foam Gun will change how you wash your car. The Snow Gun uses the air pressure from an air compressor to convert shampoo or any foamy product into unbelievable foam. The suds are so light and fluffy, they cling to vertical surfaces without running off.
For optimal performance, the Wolfgang Tornador Air Foamer HP works best with an air compressor that produces 5 CFM or more at 90 psi.
When washing your vehicle, do you feel you don't have adequate lubrication or cleaning power because the suds run off the paint? You'll never experience that with the Wolfgang Tornador Air Foamer HP Foam Gun. The Snow Gun allows you to presoak the vehicle with clinging foam. The foam stays where it's sprayed. As you wash the vehicle, there is a layer of light foam between your mitt and the paint. With the Tornador "Snow Gun" your shampoo foam won't fall flat.
The Wolfgang Tornador Air Foamer HP Foam Gun can be used with any foaming cleaner, such as car shampoos, carpet and upholstery cleaners, and non-acidic wheel cleaners. Please note: Thoroughly flush all parts of the foam gun with water between uses to prevent cross-contamination of vehicle surfaces. The best rule of thumb is to use different foam guns for different parts of the vehicle.
Interior shampoos and car wash soaps can be diluted per the manufacturers' instructions prior to adding them to the Tornador's reservoir.
The Wolfgang Tornador Air Foamer HP Foam Gun includes the gun itself with the 30 oz. jar and an extra cap for the jar. You will need an air compressor to use the Tornador. To use the Tornador "Snow Gun" Foam Gun for car washing, start by rinsing down the vehicle with a water hose. Mix the desired shampoo with water as directed on the product's label. Attach the nozzle to the jar tightly and attach the gun to the air compressor. Turn the air compressor i and coat the vehicle with foam. Turn off the air compressor and agitate vehicle with a sponge or mitt. Rinse with your water hose!
To use the Wolfgang Tornador Air Foamer HP Foam Gun for interior carpet and fabric cleaning, dilute a concentrated interior cleaner per the label directions. Spray the carpet and seats with foam and use a brush to agitate the area. Then towel dry and vacuum. Two fittings are included that attach to the diffuser cap:
Narrow Nozzle - designed to apply upholstery shampoo between seats, kick panels, seat rails - areas where you do not want a lot of foam.
Wide Nozzle – great for using on exterior of vehicle and provides more concentrated strip of product that will cling better. More concentrated strip means less splatter and wasted product.
The Wolfgang Tornador Air Foamer HP Foam Gun turns any concentrated, surfactant cleaner into amazing foam that coats and clings to automotive surfaces. This isn't just a foam gun – it's a Snow Gun!

Now, however, all that has changed. Or, judging by the frenzied activity at the NYRA claim box -- our Castle Village Farm lost an 18-way shake last week! -- a lot of people seem to think that it's changed. All, of course, due to the increase in purses resulting. at long last, from the installation of slot machines at Aqueduct. Purses for the current Aqueduct winter-spring meet are up 36%, and NYRA just announced that the already solid purses for the Belmont spring-summer meet and the marquee Saratoga meet will go up 44% and 39%, respectively, including both overnight (maiden, claiming and allowance races) and stakes. Fourteen-thousand-dollar claimers, just a step or two above the bottom level at NYRA, are now running for $33,000 purses. With the winner's share of that race at almost $20,000, it's no surprise that trainers are will to take a chance on losing their horse.
So, for nine months, that's $24,660. Down time on the farm is a lot less, but not cheap. Probably $40 a day on average, or another $3,640.
And if the horse does earn a few pennies, a pretty good proportion of those pennies disappear along the way before the owner can pull the balance from the horsemen's bookkeeper account. Here's how things work in New York.

Tips for Staying Cool This Summer in Abilene
With Summer upon us, it gets downright scorching in Abilene. So, if you're looking to stay cool in the key city, we've got the hook up for you with some tips to do just that.
Hang Out At The Pool
There are plenty of swimming pools in Abilene to help keep you cool in the scorching Texas heat. Abilene State Park, Oscar Rose Park,Stevenson Park, The Dive Spot, and the YMCA are some of the swimming pools in Abilene to help keep you cool. Check out the links below for more information on pools in Abilene.
Nelson Park Splash Pad
Nelson Splash Pad has over 2900 square feet of fun to help stay cool. It has 26 water features including water canons and a center dump bucket. It is located next to Fort Imagination in Nelson Park and offers picnic areas and restrooms. For more information about Nelson Park Splash Pad, check out the links below.
Hang Out At The Lake
One thing is for sure, Abilene and the surrounding area has plenty of lakes to help keep you cool in the summer. Whether you want to kick back and do some fishing, swim, have a cookout, or just relax, you can definitely find a lake to do just that. There are three lakes around Abilene including Lake Fort Phantom, Lake Kirby, and Lake Abilene which is at the Abilene State Park. You should also check out Possum Kingdom Lake and Hubbard Creek Resevoir.
Snow Cones or Shaved Ice
When it's hot outside, it's a good idea to grab something cool to drink or munch on. And, there is not much that's colder than having a snow cone in your hands. As a kid, we all remember checking out the snow cone stand and tasting all the different flavors – sometimes mixing them all up for some reason. You'll find several snow cone stands on many corners in Abilene. I listed a few of them below.
Ice Cream
Ice Cream may pack on the pounds if you eat enough of it, but it's definitely a way to cool off during the hot summer months in Abilene. There are several places in Abilene to get your ice cream fix which I listed below. Also, be on the lookout for the ice cream truck which is sure to make it's rounds through Abilene neighborhoods.
Other Tips To Consider
• Wear loose-fitting clothing, preferably of a light color.
• Cotton clothing will keep you cooler than many synthetics.
• Fill a spray bottle with water and keep it in the refrigerator for a quick refreshing spray to your face after being outdoors.
• Fans can help circulate air and make you feel cooler even in an air-conditioned house.
• Keep plastic bottles of water in the freezer; grab one when you're ready to go outside. As the ice melts, you'll have a supply of cold water with you.
• Take frequent baths or showers with cool or tepid water.
• Combat dehydration by drinking plenty of water along with sports drinks or other sources of electrolytes.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol as these will promote dehydration.
• Instead of hot foods, try lighter summer fare including frequent small meals or snacks containing cold fruit or low fat dairy products.
• Use common sense. If the heat is intolerable, stay indoors when you can and avoid activities in direct sunlight or on hot asphalt surfaces.

Asian Adventure May 5th...
22 Mar 2013 Shayna asked
I'm getting into Bangkok late that evening- past 6pm, this was the only flight I could book without spending a fortune or traveling an extra two days. It was actually supposed to get in around 5pm but the airline changed it! It looks like I miss the group intro meeting and I'm kinda stressed. I really wanted to meet up and get acquainted with people before things get going.
Is this a big deal? Are there other people in this situation, or anyone else out there booked on this tour or The Big Indochina starting that same day who would be willing to say hello after the meeting so I don't feel left behind when I arrive and everyone already knows each other. I'm traveling solo and want to be social with the group. :-)
Looking forward to it...just over a month away now!!!

Hi Shayna,
My friend Georgia and I are booked on that tour and we don't fly in until about the same time. We can settle in and catch up with you if you're stuck. Don't stress about the meeting stuff apparently as long as we're there to set off together the next morning, it's all ok! :)
Getting excited now!

Best place to buy books is at a book store
Editor: I was delighted to see local books featured in Brenda Anderson's article "Read local," (The Times. Dec. 13), especially The Blue Umbrella and The Violet Flash by my husband, Mike Mason.
However, I was sad to notice the statement that all of the books could be purchased online at Amazon.ca. Surely we should support our local bookstores and encourage people to "buy local" as well as "read local."
I know that The Blue Umbrella and The Violet Flash are in stock at Wendel's Books in Fort Langley, Blessings Marketplace and also at Porter's Store in Murrayville (where the books are set).
A friend of ours manages an excellent bookstore. He feels that, much of the time, his bookstore is a store front for Amazon. People browse in the bookstore and then go home and order the books online.
Books may be less expensive online, but that will never replace the joy and delight of browsing well-stocked shelves and finding treasures we'd never discover otherwise. Let's support the real world, not just the virtual one.
Karen Mason,

"John Parr-Blame It On The Radio" set to "Pro
I finished another video yesterday. I used footage of the second Dirty Pair movie:"Project Eden" set to John Parr's "Blame It On The Radio". This is my first "Eden" video, but I think it is one of my best. I still don't have any equipment to transfer VHS to my PC. But I hopefully will in the future. Then everyone can finally see what I've done.

The Role of Demographics: What Product Developers can Learn from Four Loko
Chances are that if you are under the age of 25 or regularly watch any of the major news networks, the name Four Loko is at least familiar to you. If you need a refresher, Four Loko is perhaps the worst tasting mass produced alcoholic drink designed specifically for one and only one purpose, to make people go… Loko. I've smelled it and if I think it smells bad (thank you very much organic chemistry for destroying my sense of smell), it must be awful. I've honestly smelled road kill that appealed more to me. But enough of my critic on the smell; Turns out that if you mix an an 11% alcoholic drink and pump it fun of caffeine, it really leads to people going Loko! Add in the fact that it sells for $3 and is targeted to college students… even the most naive person can guess the outcome.
That being said, Four Loko can also be apply described as a highly successful product design with dead on advertising and marketing campaigns. By now you might be asking yourself, "Why Brian, you tell me this awful product exist and that no-one in their right mind would ever consume it… but then you tell me it's awesome… are you off your meds?" First, I'm not on any meds (my quirkiness is all-natural thank you very much) and secondly, yes, that is exactly what I am telling you.
"Well Brian, please explain." Gladly.
So here we go.
1) Four Loko fills a niche. It's unique.
Although introducing caffeine into alcoholic drinks is nothing new (think irish coffee, coffee stouts), the caffeine in the drink has traditionally been a tangential result of mixing the coffee flavor with alcohol. When I grab a delicious coffee stout, like my current favorite beer (Big Boss Brewing's Aces&Ates Coffee Stout), I don't even think to myself, "why this drink contains caffeine!" I'm not exactly complaining that it has caffeine, but it's not why I ordered it.
That all changed with the introduction of the now legendary Red Bull and Vodka sometime in the 1990s. Some ingenious bartender figured out they could mix the two and make a lot of money, but that's a story for another time. The point is a new market emerged: caffeine infused alcohol.
And that's where Four Loko's creators are genius. The Red Bull and Vodka is a lovely idea, but even if you make it yourself at home, you are looking at a $3+ drink. Red Bull isn't cheap! And everyone knows that the vast majority of college students are 1) cheap 2) traditionally large consumers of "adult beverages" and 3) hopefully pretty book smart (although I've got my questions about that). But one thing is for sure: students know a good "deal" when it comes to booze. Look at what beer sales at grocery stores; it's always the cheapest/volume. Add that demography specific trifecta together and guess what… a super lucrative secondary market emerges from the caffeine infused alcohol market; the cheap alternative.
2) Four Loko has great self-esteem. It knows exactly who it is.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it's probably a duck. If you are in the advertising and marketing world, figuring out what your product really is is the greatest thing ever. I like to call it Core Product Value. It's kinda like figuring out what you want to do in life and getting the motivation to do it. Once you figure out what you were meant to do in life, only the sky limits you. For Four Loko, it may be a cheap, low class, and a horrible tasting excuse for a drink, but it's going to be the cheapest, lowest class, and worst tasting drink it can be and feel great about it.
3) Four Loko embraces itself. It doesn't try to be anyone but itself.
When Four Loko was being developed, chances are a bunch of marketing pros were working alongside the chemist to figure out how to position the product. A product may have great value, but without a strong strategy to tap into that value, a product is as good as dead. Think Coca Cola or my favorite, the Volkswagen Beetle: without dead-on marketing and advertising, those products would not have developed as they did. Four Loko's advertising and marketing strategies have done remarkably well. Visually, the packaging is instantly recognizable and if you say the name Four Loko to the target demographic, it taps deep into consumer's emotions. It's got brand personality and has developed exactly the kind of reputation it deserves: it's cheap, full of caffeine/alcohol, and offers drinkers exactly what they want.

Time Travel Watch Shift Trick
Effect: David Blaine did this watch trick on his second national TV special. A watch is borrowed, the magician does not carry anything! After showing the wrist watch to some spectators nearby who note the current time, you place the wrist watch face down in the spectator's hand. The spectator then makes a fist with the hand holding the watch, hiding it from view.. The magician does not touch the watch again. The magician then asks the spectator to think of and call out a number and then to concentrate on that number and the watch. He opens his hand, turns over the watch and sees that the hands of the watch have moved that many minutes ! This watch trick does not require any gimmicks.
Props: Someone wearing an analogue watch ( a watch with an long stem that's easy to manipulate quickly. i.e.: SEIKO watches )
Preparation: You need to wear a watch of your own, set at the wrong time.
Method: Ask your victim for his watch with an excuse like, "I think my time is wrong, may I see yours for a second?"
Borrow the watch for a minute and examine it, look at it, state what time it has, and say, "Is this the right time, I need to know."
I recommend trying to do this on nervous or shy people as they tend to be more easy to distract and are less suspicious. The key to this watch trick is misdirection, but it's very easy to get caught.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2011/11/08 - Leader in high-definition surveillance systems extends award-winning offering to key new market - Avigilon.com. TSX: AVO
Avigilon, a leader in high-definition (HD) and megapixel video surveillance systems, today announced its entry into the growing small business market with the introduction of Avigilon Control Center Core. Avigilon Control Center Core is a new entry-level version of the company's award-winning network video management software, delivering advanced high-definition surveillance capabilities, ease of use, and superior image quality to small businesses. According to statistics from the Small Business Administration (SBA, ) there are nearly 27.5 million small businesses in the United States alone. These small businessesincluding retailers, convenience stores, and small office buildingsface security concerns similar to those of larger companies but they are constrained by smaller budgets and a lack of dedicated security staff. As a result, small businesses are increasingly looking for affordable, easy-to-use HD surveillance systems. "With security a growing concern for many small businesses, we've seen an increase in the number of customers who are looking for cost-effective high-definition surveillance systems," said Alexander Fernandes, President and CEO of Avigilon. "We developed Avigilon Control Center Core to address the unique requirements of small businesses while delivering the same superior image quality needed to help ensure they obtain the best evidence." Leveraging Avigilon's High-Definition Stream Management (HDSM) technology to achieve the best possible image quality while using less bandwidth and less powerful workstations for lower costs, Avigilon Control Center Core delivers the following features and benefits: A complete system for reviewing live and recorded HD images that includes one Avigilon Network Video Recorder, Avigilon Control Center Core software, and up to 16 Avigilon HD cameras. Accommodates conventional and PTZ analog cameras, as well as a broad range of third-party IP cameras and encoders, enabling a budget-conscious migration to HD. Simple and intuitive user interface for full control over surveillance video playback to quickly retrieve evidence. Robust searching enables quick and accurate navigation of large amounts of recorded HD video with camera-specific event logs. For the past four years, Avigilon has offered high-definition video surveillance systems that provide the best image possible to large and mid-sized companies around the world. Already, Avigilon's HD cameras, network video management software, and video recorders are sold by over 800 dealers and employed at over 10,000 sites in 80 countries globally. "Our expansion into the small business market will enable far more customers to use our market-leading products and services, and help fuel our company's growth," said Fernandes. Industry analysts expect high-definition cameras to capture more and more of the rapidly expanding global surveillance market. HD images are significantly more detailed than the grainy images offered by many competing analog-based surveillance solutions. They will increasingly be used to detect and deter crimes, fight liability and negligence lawsuits, monitor key assets such as manufacturing and production lines, and aid in anti-terrorism efforts around the world. In October 2011, Avigilon was ranked number four on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500a ranking of 500 of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, and clean technology companies in North America. About Avigilon Avigilon (avigilon.com) is a leader in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of high-definition, network-based video surveillance systems and equipment for the global security market. The Avigilon surveillance system has been designed to provide high quality video capture, transmission, recording, and playback.

Army declares City of Patriarchs a "closed military zone" By Israel Insider staff and partners January 16, 2006
A Jewish girl is taken into custody by security forces.
The army declared Hebron, the City of the Jewish Patriarchs, a closed military zone forbidden to non-resident Israelis.
Israeli police seized buildings and rooftops in a Jewish settler enclave in the holy city of Hebron on Monday, restoring order after three days of riots sparked by plans to evict Israeli squatters from an abandoned Palestinian market.
The closure and scuffles could signal the opening salvo in a battle over the West Bank, if Israel follows its pullout from the Gaza Strip last summer with further withdrawals from territory that has far more biblical resonance.
Settler leaders and rabbis demanded that acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert back down and abandon his plan to dismantle the outpost in a Hebron market and several other unauthorized settlements across the West Bank slated for destruction in the coming weeks.
Olmert stood his ground, saying he ordered security forces to deal sternly with the defiant settlers.
"There will be no forgiveness or compromises with this unacceptable behavior," he said Monday. "There are red lines that we will not allow to be crossed."
The fight over Hebron, where tradition says the biblical Jewish patriarchs are buried, has special resonance for the settlers. Many of the settlers here are extreme, religious nationalists and the city has been the scene of harsh fighting during the five years of Israel-Palestinian violence.
Hebron is the only West Bank city divided between Palestinian and Israeli zones. Israeli forces control the center of the city, where about 500 settlers live in several compounds. Settlers often clash with local Palestinians.
Olmert spoke about Hebron after being named acting head of the centrist Kadima Party in place of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who suffered a massive stroke Jan. 4. Sharon formed Kadima last year after rebellious lawmakers from his hardline Likud Party tried to torpedo his pullout from Gaza and four isolated West Bank settlements. Many Israelis assumed Sharon planned further withdrawals, if his party won March 28 elections as polls indicate.
The New Yorker magazine reported Monday that Sharon's National Security Council had been considering four different West Bank evacuation plans: dismantling isolated settlements, removing a whole settlement region, evacuating 88 percent of the West Bank and evacuating 92 percent of the territory.
At the same time, Sharon's aides were discussing withdrawing to Israel's separation barrier -- which includes major settlement blocs on the Israeli side -- in exchange for U.S. recognition of the barrier as Israel's permanent border, the New Yorker reported.
Sharon spokesman Asaf Shariv said several pullout options had been considered by the National Security Council ahead of the Gaza withdrawal, but "I don't know about anything since then that is new."
The Maariv daily reported Monday that Labor leader Amir Peretz also was considering calling for a large-scale unilateral pullout from the West Bank. Peretz spokesman Tom Wegner would not confirm the report.
Hoping to show the government that future withdrawals will not be as painless as the Gaza pullout, hundreds of protesters flocked to Hebron _ where the settlers live among 170,000 Palestinians _ to fight eviction orders given to eight settler families.
The families moved into an empty Palestinian market four years ago after Palestinian gunmen killed a 10-month-old Jewish baby and they ignored an Israeli court order that gave them until Jan. 15 to voluntarily leave. The army said it would remove them within a month.
"It's important to say 'No,"' settler spokesman David Wilder said. "You can't let them chop up your land and give it to your enemy."
The protesters, many of them teenagers and some of them masked, began rampaging through the area Friday, torching empty Palestinian shops and a home, throwing stones at Palestinian houses and trying to rush off-limits areas of the city.
On Monday, hundreds of youth milled about the market and ate fruit and bread left out for them in huge crates. Many wore T-shirts left over from the Gaza protests, reading: "We won't forget, we won't forgive." One wore a set of dog tags listing all the dismantled settlements.
Suddenly, riot police, border police and officers on horseback charged through the market and into the nearby Avraham Avinu settlement enclave, where many of the youth had camped out on mattresses scattered across the floor of a guest house.
The police stormed the buildings and forced the youth to evacuate the rooftops where they had fled. The protesters hurled curses at the police, shoved them and called them American lackeys. Three girls were arrested, police said.
Israel's police commander in Hebron, Avi Harush, said the operation targeted "those same lawbreakers especially the masked people ... who are throwing rocks, paint and other objects at us, and the goal is to bring them down from the rooftops and restore control to the police and the army."
"We have a zero tolerance policy against people who use violence against police and soldiers and vandalize Palestinian property," he said.
Authorities were discussing whether to declare the settlement a closed military zone, which would bar anyone who is not a resident from entering, Harush said.
Two separate groups of rabbis sent letters to Olmert on Monday demanding he cancel the plan to evacuate the market and other outposts. One letter, signed by 20 rabbis, warned Olmert that he courted personal tragedy if he withdrew from any of "the Land of Israel."
The second letter, sent by a group of settler rabbis, called the eviction orders "a war against God and his Messiah."
You don't see Reform Jews trying to live there. They are too busy with important issues like providing abortion doctors and civil rights for the transgenderd.
We all know that if Israel pulled back to the 67 line the demographic problem with the 22% arab population would end because 1million reformers will come and just like the AA community becoming the most philosemitic ever because of the reform jewish social worker do gooders, the Arabs will become the Israeli ambassadors to the muslim world.
I don't have a lot of sympathy for them.
A lot of them are extremists, that's true. But it's amazing that Israel can call out all this force against them. I suspect it's basically just a move to impress the Palestinians, who won't be impressed and don't give a darn anyway, since they simply want Israel to disappear. (And disappear including the secular Jews, which is something the latter have yet to understand.)
Extremist because they desire to live where it is recorded Abraham bought a grave site.
Extremists because when the Arabs riot and murder a Jewish community- as the they did to the Jewish community in Hevron in 1929- the Jews should know never to return?
Say bye-bye to Olmert...
I don't have a lot of sympathy for them.
How dare you?
If they can't be extremists" in their own country where can they be?
I don't see many Jewish extremists blowing up buildings and airplanes and school buses and children in their sleep in countries other than their own.
Do you think that if the savages, the knuckle-dragging mass murdering arabs and other muslims limited their thing to their own country that I would care?
Would you?
I don't see many Jewish extremists squatting in Saudi territory in and around Mecca...
If Jews can't protect and cherish the land of their patriarchs, what possible rational justification is there for that?
If muslims can't practice their primitive rites peacefully in other host countries, observing their host's laws and customs, they can just leave.
Yes. So what? Why should it matter even if you are living right on top of Abraham's bones?
I know what happened in 1929 was wrong. I think these people are taking resources away from the IDF that could be used to defend people in Israel, not a handful af people who insist on breaking the law.
They are not in their own country.
I don't see many Jewish extremists blowing up buildings and airplanes and school buses and children in their sleep in countries other than their own.
So that makes it okay?
I will not defend Muslims either, I don't like extremists on any side.
Why should Arabs live there and not Jews?
1929 was wrong? Bravo for that acknowledgement.
Kill Jews, make area too costly to defend. Would work in Tel Aviv too.
You a big IDF supporter?
I sure am. With my thoughts and my tax money.
I think the IDF needs to spend more time defending people that live within the laws and don't insist on making matters worse.
Who's country are they in?
When did it become a country? Who was the first leader? What do the coins look like? What is their religion? Language? History?
Then you should be glad.
When the IDF acts against Arab terrorists, it may be the only time you are getting your money's worth.
I know what happened in 1929 was wrong. I think these people are taking resources away from the IDF that could be used to defend people in Israel, not a handful af people who insist on breaking the law.The settlers in Kiryat Arba have turned the grave of the perpetrator of the Second Hebron Massacre (1994) into a virtual shrine and monument.
The current settlers in Hebron are even more extreme.
Long term, the solution is a large permanent Israeli consulate near Patriarchs, with the Palestinian government retaining the normal diplomatic right to declare individuals persona non grata for cause.
But the current bunch is like a bunch of Klansmen moving into Harlem and demanding close and aggressive NYPD protection.
Just like they took care of Josephs Tomb?
Come on. you can do better then that.
How about a Hope for a Holocaust Museum. With rides, cotton candy, models of blown up buses, models of Jewish blood splattered pizza parlors, a booth where pregnant mothers can dedicate their unborn to Jihad. All the stuff that those "Palestinians" you champion, you know, the misunderstood, non extremists, love so much. How are those peaceful folks you love so much handling Gaza? Vacation there yet?
They all share the guilt of GOLDSTEIN!
They must be PURGED!
How's my "Eric" impression?
You know the rule.
Where ever an Arab donkey urinates. The land a thousand miles in any direction forever belongs to Islam.
Maybe we should kill all the donkeys.
Should read: Arab's donkey
My opinion, Israel should expel all Palestinians from Hebron, Bethlehem and anywhere else they choose (Gaza excepted). Jews were expelled from Libia, Syria, Iraq, Egypt and elsewhere and never given a dime for their property.
Payback is hell but hell should come a knockin'...
Sorry, Abdul. I thought I was addressing a normal rational human being.
Have a nice day.
Perhaps not OK, but infinitely better than the cult of death, the murdering savages.
Close enough to OK in an imperfect universe.
What does that mean? Are they performing honor killings? Are they teaching their children to become suicide bombers? If you hurl epithets can you be more specific?
Where ever an Arab donkey urinates, an arab pitches his tent.
Any word from Bibi?
One does not need a consulate in one's own country.
The state of Israel extends de facto from the Mediterranean to the Jordan, and from Syria and Lebanon to the Sinai.
No, they do not need your approval, nor anyone else's, to apply their sovereignty. There can be no "palestinian" government without a "palestine". That fiction, after 50 years, still can't fly:
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism."
PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein, March 31, 1977
Every person educated past the third grade knows, or ought to know that the arabs blew their one and only chance at a country in 1948. No second chances.
It is laughable in the extreme for a people to be called personna non grata in their own country!
Take your medication, please.
The attitude of certain settlers and organizations towards his memory very much is.
As is the fact that they have crossed the line and the IDF must now deal with them by force.
Just as they would deal with Palestinian rioters.
The state of Israel extends de facto from the Mediterranean to the Jordan, and from Syria and Lebanon to the Sinai.There isn't a single government on Earth that recognizes said boundaries.
Hebron is the home of 100,000 Arabs. Clearly it will end up as part of a Palestinian state.
The consulate plan would give Israeli citizens access to Patriarchs, while keeping the true agitators away from the people of Hebron.
Quite frankly, I wouldn't be suprised if the IDF loses its patience and evacuates all the settlements. I'll leave it to those who actually live in Israel to comment on what the political fallout would be.
One guy, a doctor, after treating victim after victim after victim of Arab terror going Postal....
Is equivalent to........
On Friday, August 23, 1929, that tranquility was lost. Arab youths started throwing rocks at the yeshiva students. That afternoon, one student, Shmuel Rosenholtz, went to the yeshiva alone. Arab rioters later broke in and killed him, and that was only the beginning.
Friday night, Rabbi Yaacov Slonims son invited any fearful Jews to stay in his house. The rabbi was highly regarded in the community, and he had a gun. Many Jews took him up on this offer, and many Jews were eventually murdered there.
As early as 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, Arabs began to gather en masse. They came in mobs, armed with clubs, knives and axes. While the women and children threw stones, the men ransacked Jewish houses and destroyed Jewish property. With only a single police officer in Hebron, the Arabs entered Jewish courtyards with no opposition.
Rabbi Slonim, who had tried to shelter the Jewish population, was approached by the rioters and offered a deal. If all the Ashkenazi yeshiva students were given over to the Arabs, the rioters would spare the lives of the Sephardi community. Rabbi Slonim refused to turn over the students and was killed on the spot. In the end, 12 Sephardi Jews and 55 Ashkenazi Jews were murdered.
A few Arabs did try to help the Jews. Nineteen Arab families saved dozens, maybe even hundreds of Jews. Zmira Mani wrote about an Arab named Abu Id Zaitoun who brought his brother and son to rescue her and her family. The Arab family protected the Manis with their swords, hid them in a cellar along with other Jews who they had saved, and found a policeman to escort them safely to the police station at Beit Romano.
The police station turned into a shelter for the Jews that morning of August 24. It also became a synagogue as the Orthodox Jews gathered there and said their morning prayers. As they finished praying, they began to hear noises outside the building. Thousands of Arabs descended from Har Hebron, shouting "Kill the Jews!" in Arabic. They even tried to break down the doors of the station.
The Jews were besieged in Beit Romano for three days. Each night, ten men were allowed to leave to attend a funeral in Hebrons ancient Jewish cemetery for the murdered Jews of the day.
When the massacre finally ended, the surviving Jews were forced to leave their home city and resettled in Jerusalem. Some Jewish families tried to move back to Hebron, but were removed by the British authorities in 1936 at the start of the Arab revolt. In 1948, the War of Independence granted Israel statehood, but further cut the Jews off from Hebron, a city that was captured by King Abdullah's Arab Legion and ultimately annexed to Jordan.
29 people killed in 1994, because they were Muslims at prayer. (The number was smaller largely because one man in the mosque had the nerve to go after Goldstein with a fire extinguisher as he reloaded).
Some Arabs risked their lives to save Jews in 1929. Some Jews risked their lives to save Arab victims in 1994. The extremists on each side lionize the killers.
Quite a bit of equivalence.
Only in your sick mind.
And there is one huge difference difference.
One Jewish Killer.
An entire community of Arab Killers.
With the Arabs, it always takes a village. Hell no, not just a village but an entire society of psychopaths.
The lowest form of human beings, except for their supporters.
You missed the part about Israel not needing your approval nor anyone else's?
The Germans have set up succesful concentration camps to kill human beings by the millions in Eastern Europe. Clearly that entitles them to keep running them forever.
Sometimes words are the shiniest tools of the deluded.
Where is Kahane when we need him?///////
You too
Kind of the same trouble as a Jewish State in the Arab Middle East wouldn't you say?
And in the future, a Vatican in Islamic Europe may have a similar problem.
Although some may be shocked by this, i have always wondered if Rabin et al set his execution up. Castro did the same with Guevara in Bolivia
"And in the future, a Vatican in Islamic Europe may have a similar problem.".......Not "MAY"....WILL!
That was not out of any sense of human morality.
Only those whose greed temporarily overcame their blood lust, in order to extort from the survivors their remaining money and possessions.
Read the testimony of survivors before you assign the humanity to the Arabs that you stripped away from the victims.
Even the eeville Baruch Goldstein, during his career as a doctor prior to 1994, saved the lives of many Arabs, many more lives than your "noble" Arabs who "protected" Jews in 1929 only to rob them.
The only "exact equivalence" exists in your hallucinations.
Although some may be shocked by this, i have always wondered if Rabin et al set his execution up.
I'm sure Kahane's hate for Arabs had something to do with their hate for him. If David Duke got shot by a black extremist, we wouldn't blame Bush.
Even the eeville Baruch Goldstein, during his career as a doctor prior to 1994, saved the lives of many Arabs, many more lives than your "noble" Arabs who "protected" Jews in 1929 only to rob themActually, Wikipedia reports that he was threatened with court-martial for refusing to treat non-Jews, even if they were active IDF.
That's still not really the point. His memorial/shrine in Kiryat Arba, combined with recent events that not even the Yesha Council can spin away, makes it clear that the extremist problem exists on both sides of this issue.

Well we hope you like the new look to the website, we thought it was time for a quick update.
As you can see we have been quite busy adding the plasticity theme features and BuddyPress to the website, you may have noticed the login tab in the top right of the screen, this will allow you to login and use the BuddyPress features, not everything is up and running yet but there is enough for an overveiw.
Many of the members and visitors here are looking for Artisteer specific content, all tutorials will work to version 2.4, however we feel that the 2.5 version of Artisteer is to much of a move away from the WordPress core code and the new structure does not fit well, we hope that Artisteer stop and have another look at what they provide, the product was so good at providing a basis to work from while allowing different skilled users to develop the theme.
The latest Artisteer offering is moving more towards a framework rather than a theme generation tool, if we want to work with a framework there are many better free and commercial offering already out there for us to use.
Twenty Ten Children
We will be moving forward with the Twenty Ten theme and creating child themes, this will enable the Artisteer users to look at what we are doing and maybe select some elements to add to their Artisteer themes.
So you may be wondering "What is a Twenty Ten Child Theme?", errm! well you are looking at one, this theme is called Plasticity and is a Twenty Ten child theme, it uses the theme as a foundation inherits it style and assets, we can then change and expand these to our own look and feel.
Plasticity Theme
There is quite a lot of work still to do with this theme as we want it to work well with BuddyPress, and be highly customisable, we are developing a number of template pages, like the selected category home page, left, right and two content columns, slideshow intergration and the social icons in the footer.
A lot of theme elements can already be changed, but we have a lot of tweeking and testing still to do, we have also built in the AddText and AddFunction shortcodes and widgets.
Plasticity Project
This one will be a big step, we would like feedback before we start, the idea is an opensource plugin that will create and update a child theme based on selections made in the Admin area, a repository where members will be able to upload and download new assets shared by other members to use in thier own themes.
We were looking around the internet for Creative Commons and licence free images, they are out, there like the social icons in the footer on the home page from Aquaticus Social on Deviant Art, we also found several websites for backgrounds and other images, if some website designers use this website as a resource and want to contribute some of thier own backgrounds and menu graphics please get in touch.
To create a really good plugin we would need assets like the website graphics, anyone with php skills, solution architect, project managers, testers etc:, if you have some time and want to get involved the contact us.

WASHINGTON – The nature of terrorism has changed in Robert Mueller's dozen years as FBI director, but his concerns for the future are much the same as when terrorists struck on Sept. 11, 2001, merely a week after he'd taken over the bureau.
As he wraps up his FBI tenure, Mueller (MULL-er) worries that terrorists will once again target planes or finally pull off an attack using a weapon of mass destruction.
Mueller sees terrorism as a shifting landscape, evolving from Osama bin Laden's global brand in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks to the splintering threats arising in the fallout from the Arab Spring across the Middle East. Mueller says newly emerging cadres of violent extremists will present threats down the road.
Mueller spoke to reporters at FBI headquarters.

They say the only true way to immortality is through your children. To pass on the hopes and dreams, wishes and regrets of your own life through the upbrining of a smaller somewhat more energetic version of yourself. I recently found out this was true.
Thanks to Netflix and the barrage of online streaming video sites, I have managed without great cost to recreate my late grade school/middle school t.v. viewing schedule. Thanks to clearance sales at Target and the timing of certain 25th anniversaries recently past, I have managed to begin rebuilding the collection of toys I had in that same time. Yes, I am a 35 year old father and if I didn't play with toys I would probably forcefully evict the few remaining hairs on my head which stubbornly refuse to join their fallen bretheren.
Anyway my 7 year old son is the ultimate benefieciary of my 30's journey into the Wayback Machine. Following is a short list of the toys/music/t.v. shows that he is now obsessed with thanks to me.....
-G.I. Joe. In all of it's forms. I even took him to see Rise of Cobra.
-Transformers. I guess the rebirth of the franchise through the movies would have done it eventually, but his 25th Anniversary repro Optimus Prime set the standard right away.
-Cheesey 80's Inspiration Rock. By this I mean songs like Don't Stop Believing, Dare and The Touch by Stan Bush and the ever terrible Worst Great Song Ever-The Final Countdown.
-Classic Wrestling. We're not talking Attitude Era here we are talking about Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Andre the Giant. We're talking Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race here.
Before I go any further I'm certain some of you are right in the boat with me while others have a sincere wish that said boat would capsize and leave me and my spawn stranded upon the same island that held the Skipper and the rest captive for so long. I'm fine with that so long as I have my Swiss Army Knife. Which leads me to....
-Macgyver. I don't think I need a reason to pass this one on.
Perhaps I should have slowed the roll on my childs' 80's education when he saw a picture of a guy with a mullet and asked to have his hair cut that way. His mother certainly did not approve but hey, If it happens by accident, who's to say?
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
-Super Mario Brothers. He is still dissapointed that we couldn't get a copy of Super Mario All Stars 25th for the Wii.
-Indiana Jones
-Star Wars. My wife, though not a fan of Lucasverse knew before we concieved that there was a Wampa's chance on Tatooine that a son wouldn't be exposed by force to the Force.
My son loves these things as much as I did then. And I would be lying if I didn't say it is a ton of fun to play along with him and show him the good old days online. The strangest thought about all of this is this....If my son is reliveing my childhood, who's childhood will his first son relieve? Mine?.....again? Three generations of males living the same childhood? Talk about immortality.
Passing The Torch-80's Style!
At 35 my love all things cheesy and 80's has found a reincarnation

Just 3 Wheels On The Ground!
So I went to have some fun on this trail I know, and I kept stopping to take pictures (see them at http://www.jeepgarage.org/f110/base-laredo-offroad-46218.html)
Well, at one point I hopped out to take a picture... and it turns out I had parked with one wheel floating!!! Now here's the really interesting part: when I got back in, I decided to reverse back out of that situation, and I got this ABS grinding sound but no movement! So I went forward instead. OK, techies, why did my WK2 with QT1 not reverse with one wheel up??? Did all the power go to that one wheel despite the brake torque shifting that is supposed to occur (hence the ABS grind)? WHAT HAPPENED? P.S. Respect the 17s! Those tires on the low side of the vehicle looked about ready to blow out on me, but they didn't. Pictures: http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/x...-07-23_976.jpg http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/x...-07-53_929.jpg http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/x...-07-33_397.jpg http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/x...-07-44_129.jpg http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/x...-08-06_761.jpg |
Re: Just 3 Wheels On The Ground!
I haven't seen it, but you may not have enough engine HP/torque to back out of that situation. Rock crawlers don't particularly like QT1 and brake traction.
Did you happen to try steering to the left while backing up? PS that looks like a lot of back roads I used to run in PA, well actually looks better. Where were you riding? |
Re: Just 3 Wheels On The Ground!
You probably have to press harder on the gas. I know this sounds stupid, but the BMW I had also would do the brake a spinning wheel (RWD). To me it just seemed like it made a bunch of noise and did nothing. One time when I was turning left, it went off and instead of re-actively letting up on the gas, I put the pedal to the floor (lots of abs noise). It was amazing how well the system then worked (and the car didn't fish tail). A guy at work kept getting stuck in his Toyota Tundra, I told him the same thing and after trying he said it performed much better in deep snow.
So, if you are like me that actually learned to drive in snow/off-road, your reaction is to let up on the gas to prevent a skid, when you really need to give it more gas as it takes a ton of torque and power allow the system to brake the spinning tire and get power to the other tires. |
Re: Just 3 Wheels On The Ground!
Heck, we we're balancing on two (opposite corners) last fall. Couldn't ge out to take a photo as it wouldn't have been safe. A passing hunter was amazed!

So-Called 'Death Panel' Measure Survives in House Health Bill
From AP
WASHINGTON — It's alive.
The Medicare end-of-life planning provision that 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said was tantamount to "death panels" for seniors is staying in the latest Democratic health care bill unveiled Thursday.
The provision allows Medicare to pay for voluntary counseling to help beneficiaries deal with the complex and painful decisions families face when a loved one is approaching death.
For years, federal laws and policies have encouraged Americans to think ahead about end-of-life decisions, and make their wishes known in advance through living wills and similar legal documents. But when House Democrats proposed this summer to pay doctors for end-of-life counseling, it touched off a wave of suspicion and anger. Prominent Republicans singled it out as a glaring example of government overreach.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, at the time a lead negotiator on health care legislation, told constituents at a town hall meeting they had good reason to question the proposal.
"I don't have any problem with things like living wills, but they ought to be done within the family," he said. "We should not have a government program that determines you're going to pull the plug on grandma."
Thursday, the sponsor of the provision said the barrage of criticism may have actually helped.
"There is nothing more basic than giving someone the option of speaking with their doctor about how they want to be treated in the case of an emergency," said Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore. "I think the outrageous and vindictive attacks may have backfired to help raise awareness about this problem, which is why it's been kept in the bill."
The legislation would allow Medicare to pay for a counseling session with a doctor or clinical professional once every five years. The bill calls for such sessions to be "completely" voluntary, and prohibits the encouragement or promotion of suicide or assisted suicide.
The counseling provision is supported by doctors' groups and AARP, the seniors' lobby. It was not included in health care bills passed by two Senate committees.
