A Last Look at Tire Ads
For comparison's sake, I had another Armstrong Tire ad by Keith Ward tucked away. Thought I'd share it with you before we move on...
And out of the blue, TI list member Bruce Hettema sent along this wonderful Atlas Tire ad drawn by Charlie Allen, who's work we looked at just a few weeks ago. I sent the image to Charlie and he replied with this amusing anecdote:
"The example Bruce sent was a series... portraying a fictitious family. The dad, our lettering guy and all around 'everyman' model. Used him many times. The boy was a kid in our neighborhood who mowed lawns for 50 cents. His five dollar model fees totally spoiled him...and the neighborhood economy! The Atlas billboards were typical schmaltz, smiling Chevron guys holding or looking through a tire. I sent a gag comp over to BBD&O of one of them looking through a toilet seat....a few yuks!"
* You can see the full size versions of these images in my Auto Ads Flickr set.
3 comments:
Loss of original illustrations or paintings in the family, is a real tragedy for the family... perhaps even more so than for the artist who did them, had he been living. That may sound strange to some, but Dick Logan commented about his father Maurice Logan... a top illustrator in San Francisco from the 20's through the 50's. Maurice stored most of his fine art watercolor paintings in his studio, at his home in Oakland, CA. One year a mudslide destroyed most of his watercolors, and Dick said that his dad shrugged it off and immediately started painting more watercolors. It had to be a punch in the gut, but he recovered quickly and didn't let it effect his great enjoyment of painting scenes on location, which he loved doing on the weekends.ReplyDelete
Understandably, to the family, those paintings are like having an important piece of that loved one.

I knew another artist who worked for Armstrong Tire, Eldon Morgan. I almost positive he work on "grip the road" ads. Just curious if you heard or seen any of his work?ReplyDelete

According to Captain Christopher Manson, there have been reductions in burglaries, stolen cars and felony assaults.
Manson also said that in the past month, the anti-crime team has arrested numerous trespassers, and each one had an extensive criminal history.
"We're making the right arrests," he said.
However, officers are still on the hunt for two Forest Park rapists. One suspect has attacked seven times over the past two years. The other is wanted for an attempted rape that took place September 7, 2011.
There are also two separate men committing sexual assaults in the area. Manson described one incident near the Brooklyn/Queens border as being a violent rape after a woman refused to give the suspect her money.
A second man followed two women off the L train, touched them sexually and beat them badly. One of them has broken bones in her face and had to have reconstructive surgery.
Another perpetrator, a white male in his forties, has been approaching girls by Grover Cleveland High School in a black SUV. In the past week, he asked a both 13-year-old and 16-year-old girl on separate incidents if they are interested in working in a bar or club he owns.
Manson believes that he is trying to lure girls into his car. Both incidents occurred on Fairview Avenue.
Captain John Travaglia addressed traffic concerns, which included complaints of residents parking in front of driveways and garages, and, for one resident, it taking three hours to get a car ticketed. Travaglia acknowledged that this was a 311 issue, an area the precinct aims to improve in.
"We have a policy, a sole policy, that from the minute a 311 call is received at the 104th Precinct, we won't settle for nothing less than the 16 minute disposition," he said.

but maybe there is a better way?
I have also been revisiting the idea of running the shift registers at 3.3v instead of 5, reduce the 5vs to 3.3, and resister the data pin so that it gets 3.3v from the arduino. I was thinking maybe having a voltage regulator (like an lm317) drop the voltage from 5 volts to 3.3. Then I would have to resister the red LEDs, and run the other leds on 3.3vIs that a reasonable solution?
maybe i should just order some inexpensive driver chips instead?
but the didnt blow from quick testing 3v.
Is that a reasonable solution?
Told you so,
I see the touch button thing, it looks like they use a photo resistor, and maybe capacitive touch on the other button.
Heres a video of a guy that made circuit boards on glass slides,
so a stack of shift registers,
it was pretty impressive.
Quotebut maybe there is a better way?Yes you have the LEDs, connect them up with something like a 330R resistor and actually measure the forward voltage then you can do the math correctly to get your current.

Run Roo Run HD is a platformer game where you, a kangaroo, must avoid obstacles by jumping, swinging, riding clouds, and launching from cannons. Each level is a single screen, not scrolling.
This is a great little game, but the main levels are not very challenging. It took me less than an hour to complete the main levels in all 20 chapters. The extreme levels, however, are very difficult - some even too difficult, in my opinion. Even though I didn't feel particularly challenged, I enjoyed playing the game - I was able to casually play while watching an episode of Battlestar Galactica!
Your joey has been captured and you need to get him back!
Hop, skip, and jump your way across tons of unique and interesting obstacles in the Australian outback! Run Roo Run is a micro-platformer featuring single screen levels filled with unique, fun obstacles and easy to learn one-touch gameplay. Play for a few minutes, or a few hours; your journey to Sydney always picks up where you left off!
- Over 420 Levels!
- Get 10 new free levels every week!
- Over 100 extreme levels!
- Leaderboards
- Achievements
- Full Retina Graphics Support!
- GameCenter Support
- Easy to learn one-touch gameplay
- Fun power-ups including - human cannons, tire swings, ridable clouds, gravity defying umbrellas, invisibility, and much more!
There's no such thing as too many casual games, so iMore is giving away 5 copies of Run Roo Run HD to you, our awesome readers! For a chance to win, just leave a comment below!
Run Roo Run HD is available on the iPad for $1.99.

Author Notes: Brisket is one of my favorite things to serve guests. It tastes best if is made the day before and then heated up for your guests, leaving you time enjoying your friends. I was going through an old journel that I had from 15 years ago and for a dinner party that I had made a veal shank with redwine and chocolate. The recipe has long since vanished, but I decided to try to recreate it in some variation. This is simple to prepare, but has complex notes through out. Make sure that you buy a big enough cut of brisket. They shrink in size as cooked. I always try to have leftovers. Brisket sandwiches slathered with horseradish cream are the stuff of my dreams. These measurements are fluid, depending on the size of the brisket. I served it with mashed parsnips and potatoes. —MyCommunalTable
Serves: 4-6 people
pounds brisket
tablespoons flour
creole seasoning
salt and pepper
tablespoons tomato paste
tablespoons cocoa powder
tablespoon worchestershire sauce
med. onion, thinly sliced
gloves garlic
fresh thyme
cups beef broth
bottle of red wine
oil for browning
pads of butter
- Season the entire brisket with salt, pepper and creole seasoning.
- Coat with flour.
- Place in skillet that has been heated over medium heat. Sear with a brown finish on both sides of brisket.
- Line a casserole dish with foil that is overlapping the edges enough to wrap and seal around the brisket when you have added all the ingredients.
- Place brisket in foil lined pan.
- In a small dish, mix tomato paste, cocoa, and worchestershire sauce. Spread paste all over brisket. If you need more, make more.
- Smash garlic cloves to peel and place gloves on top of brisket.
- Place thinly sliced onions all over the top.
- Pour broth and wine until it is about 2/3 up the side of the brisket. I used a wine from Chili (Carmenere) which also has undertones of chocolate. A lot of South American wines work well with this recipe.
- Spread sprigs of thyme around the top. Then seal the foil, making the brisket air tight.
- Place in a 350F oven for about 3 1/2 hours. If you are cooking a bigger piece of meat, cook longer. You will want the meat to pull apart easy.
- Let cool down, then place in fridge over night.
- Next day, pull out. Thinly slice brisket. Drain cooking liquid through a seive. Place back into foil with a touch of cooking liquid. When you are ready to reheat, place in 350F. It usually takes about a half hour.
- Heat cooking liquid in a sauce pan. Reduce awhile if you want more intensity in sauce. Mix a tablespoon of flour iwth some water and stir in to thicken. Cook a little while to cook flour. Adjust seasonings. Add pads of butter. Serve with meat.

SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Semi-finals featuring countries that share borders, a deep passion for ice hockey and a competitive hatred are sure to bring the buzz back to an Olympic men's event still reeling from Russia's shock exit.
The men's ice hockey gold medal will be the last decided in Sochi, handed out just hours before Sunday's closing ceremonies and the host nation will not be part of the excitement after crashing out in the quarter-finals.
As Russia slowly get over the disappointment of their exit, the rest of the sport's fraternity are preparing for a pair of intriguing gold-medal rematches on Friday that could provide some of the most memorable moments of these Games.
North American neighbors Canada and the United States will meet in a rematch of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic final won by the Canadians on a golden goal from Sidney Crosby.
The other semi-final is also a gold-medal rematch with Finland and Sweden facing off just as they did in the 2006 Turin final won by the Swedes.
"2010 is all over with and we're on a new opportunity both for them and for us," said Canadian head coach Mike Babcock. "The teams are different.
"You have an opportunity right now to make memories for the rest of your life. That's just what this is about."
Certainly there will be no mysteries surrounding either contest with players, coaches and fans keenly aware of what each team will bring to the rink.
Every player on the American and Canadian rosters earn a living in the National Hockey League and in many cases are team mates who will return to the same locker rooms next week to continue their Stanley Cup quests.
The Canada-United States semi-final will very much resemble a house divided.
The same men who stand shoulder-to-shoulder and embrace each other as brothers will suddenly be the hated enemy standing in the path to Olympic glory.
No one will know better what Crosby is capable of than American coach Dan Bylsma who just happens to be the Canadian captain's coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Jeff Carter, who has three goals for Canada, will try to beat his Los Angeles Kings netminder Jonathan Quick while American sniper Max Pacioretty will attempt do the same against Canadian goaltender Carey Price.
"Obviously he (Quick) is one of the best goalies in the game," said Carter. "We're going to have to be on our game to get a couple past him.
"When he's on his game, he's one of the best."
Among hockey purists, Russia represents the traditional rivals for Canada and the United States.
For Canadians the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviets and for Americans the 1980 Lake Placid Olympic 'Miracle on Ice' remain landmark moments in their sporting histories.
But for many fans the real rivalry has shifted to Canada and the United States.
Many of the players on both teams have spent their entire lives, from minor hockey, through college and the junior world championships, battling each other for trophies and medals.
While the Canada-United States rivalry continues to evolve, Sweden vs Finland is a blood feud centuries in the making.
"It goes way back," said Sweden's Alex Steen. "There have been some real classic games between the two countries and not just hockey games but all sorts of different sporting events.
"It is definitely a special feeling going up against the Finns."
The hockey rivalry between the two Scandinavian nations is among the sporting world's most fierce.
When Finland defeated Sweden in Stockholm in 1995 to win the world championship for the first time the team received a fighter jet escort home as the country erupted in wild celebration.
Sweden has twice won Olympic gold, at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics in Norway and again in 2006.
The Finns have never stood atop the podium but have claimed medals from four of the last five Winter Games.
Finland's Teemu Selanne, one of the game's all-time great scorers, is playing in a record-equalling sixth Olympics and having already won bronze and silver medals would like nothing better than to complete his collection with a gold.

Famous People Looking Miserable in The Front Row
See Gallery
Celebrities may know how to turn it on for the red carpet, but when they're sitting down, enjoying (or maybe not enjoying) a fashion show, they often forget that they're still surrounded by cameras.
Thus, fashion week provides great opportunities to see celebrities when they're not controlling what their faces are doing. And often, that means they look absolutely miserable and/or angry. Whether that means they actually are miserable or just have chronic bitchface, we'll never know.
All we do know is that it's really entertaining for us. (And that we're glad the cameras aren't on us because we're sure we'd look just as miz.) From poor Harvey Weinstein to a distraught Ryan Lochte, click through for some prime examples. (We'll be updating throughout fashion month, don't worry.)

I Believe
You can go from stuck and stressed to clear and confident by releasing self-sabotaging subconscious programs that run your life from behind the scenes.
About Kelly Rudolph
Feeling stuck, stressed, confused, or discouraged? You are in the right place at the perfect time. I am a certified Life Coach, energy worker, and founder of Positive Women Rock, and I'm confident a few adjustments can have you feeling better about yourself and your life very soon.
If you struggle with relationship challenges, toxic friends or coworkers, money worries, a body you dislike, or lack of confidence in one or more areas, you're certainly not alone. And although there are many people willing to discuss your problems because they say it will help you, you found me for a reason and here's what you need to know…
Talking about your problems won't help long-term. Although you may feel better temporarily from getting them off your chest, the negative focus makes you a magnet for more negative people and situations - creating your future on junk from the past.
A New Perspective For A More Empowering Direction
Your problems are caused by old, outdated subconscious programs running in the background. You were born with a version of software that kept you safe as a child but now just keeps you stuck.
Example 1: As a child, you were told not to talk to strangers because they could be dangerous. As an adult, you won't have friends, relationships, or a job if you don't talk to strangers. There is an inner conflict between your conscious knowing, and your inner belief that keeps you from your true potential and happiness.
Example 2: You are supposed to stand out from the crowd and be "different" to get that amazing man or your dream job or client. But humans are pack animals and standing out from the crowd means you get singled out by predators because you no longer have the safety of the group to protect you. A deep, inner conflict you must release to have the life you want.
And there are even more of these inner conflicts that keep you stuck and stressed.
The good news is there is a solution! Upgrading your inner software (in a quick and simple process by phone) boosts your confidence and supports your success in ALL areas of your life simultaneously. This is just some of the energy work I do with women (since 1984). Free Clarity Call HERE
Self-love, self-respect, self-confidence, and a healthy self-image are your BIRTHRIGHT. They create the solid foundation for fulfilling relationships, meaningful work, deeply connected friendships, a healthy body and bank account, and contribution that feeds your soul!
I transformed years of rape and domestic violence - where I felt stuck, scared and depressed every day - into the life I have now, where I feel happy, healthy, and confident. So, I know you can shift your life too and if you want my help, I'm happy to walk you step-by-step.
She Changed All Areas Of Her Life At The Same Time:
"When I contacted Kelly, I was depressed. I hated my job. My marriage wasn't doing well and I didn't like spending time with my 2 small children. I felt hopeless and scared. With Kelly's guidance, I learned how to turn everything around and that first week my life began to change. In addition to a perspective shift that inspired me to love my job I got promoted while everyone else was being downsized. My marriage improved immediately and time with my children is priceless. I taught my 3-year-old something Kelly taught me and he showed his 18-month old sister right away! I'm confident my family is set up for success and I'm blown away by the transformation in my life." – Jannina G., Virginia (More Success Stories at Positive Women Rock)

Kelly Rudolph Success Stories
I Began To Attract A Different Quality Of Men
Women seeking a relationship
"I kept finding myself in marriages and relationships with alcoholic men who had little or no ambition. Being a positive, successful woman myself, I couldn't understand why this kept happening. Kelly took me through a visualization where we identified the cause of my 32 years of relationship challenges in about 20 minutes. Just hours after learning from identifying the cause and releasing it, I began to attract a different quality of men." - Nancy Shields, North Carolina
Energy Work Had A Powerful Impact On My Job & Family Life
Women dealing with work related stress
"During coaching, Kelly showed me how the main challenges I was facing were all part of a common thread. We identified a theme of broken trust and belittling treatment - the recurring pattern that was negatively affecting my professional and personal life. The energy session was so easy, I kept asking if I was doing it right. Kelly assured me everyone asks the same question because it seems too simple and painless to be so powerful.more
The next day, all hell broke loose at work and I was amazed at the difference in my response! Normally, I would have been very agitated and spoken up in anger, causing conflict within the team. I would not have been productive the rest of the day, would not have slept that night and it would have disrupted my home life. - Amanda Acevedo, Texas
I Feel Safe For The First Time In My Life
Women dealing with stress
My religious upbringing programmed me to do nothing but serve; and any desire to take care of myself was evil. I was scared, angry, exhausted, and felt guilty all the time. Putting my own life and dreams on the back burner fueled my sense of failure. The unbearable stress resulted in physical ailments including constant migraines for 16 years.more
Working with Kelly, I learned how I'd been attracting manipulative people with my energy. She showed me how I was actually impeding their progress by doing everything for them.
After energy work, toxic people in my life who had been tearing me apart suddenly vanished. I didn't believe it was possible after an unchanging pattern for 50 years.
I'm closer to my family than I've ever been. My husband and adult children see the changes in me; a lightness in my personality and a smile on my face. They grew up with me always being scared and in pain. They are no longer burdened with protecting me; now I stand up for myself. I wish I could have worked with Kelly decades ago, for my family and for me. - Bonnie S., San Diego, CA
From Anxiety, Depression & Insomnia To Healthy, Happy & Confident
Women dealing with stress
For years I suffered from anxiety/depression, low self-esteem, and intermittent insomnia. I lost my job because it was so stressful I went on disability and couldn't return to work. I was also struggling in an unhealthy relationship, and felt hopeless about my future. I went to bed worried and began my day with worry, and I was always tired. Counseling, medication, and a lot of self-help books left me still feeling sad, confused and stuck.more
During my Breakthrough day on the phone with Kelly, I learned how beliefs embedded in my subconscious were creating roadblocks to happiness and draining my energy. She guided me through releasing all the negative garbage that was keeping me unhappy and stuck. She walked me step by step to create confidence, and healthy boundaries that align with my values and empower me to live the life I want--and deserve.
In just one day I went from feeling depressed, worried and stuck to feeling happy, confident and free! It's like I've been given a "get out of jail card."
My day with Kelly has positively impacted everyone around me. Each day I wake up inspired and excited, feeling grateful, and loving myself...and life. What a difference! - Laura V., Chicago
Debilitating Grief To Amplified Passion, Purpose, & Energy!
I lost my mom to stage 4 lung cancer pretty suddenly and surprisingly this spring. And no amount of personal development had prepared me for the grieving journey I was about to embark on. Not only did I lose my mom – I lost my mojo. My passion. My purpose. And I began disconnecting from my marriage. Grief nearly took me out.more
What happened next was nothing short of life changing. And my experiences working with Kelly through her Inner Power Breakthrough program transformed me from the inside-out.
My grief subsided. My energy returned. My passion and purpose amplified. And the beautiful clients, opportunities, and happiness I'd been feeling were somehow out of reach during my grief showed up in spades. - Lisa Steadman, Writer, Producer, Entrepreneur, Los Angeles, CA

Category: Dear Frankie Reviews Posted by: admin By all rights, ''Dear Frankie" should be unbearably sentimental bilge. That's certainly how it comes across in the trailers. But this wee Scottish drama takes a mawkish premise and, by playing its cards close to the vest, imbues it with quiet, careworn dignity. The movie's still shameless; the difference is you don't mind.
'Dear Frankie' is sweet but not saccharine
Article Date: March 11, 2005 | Publication: Boston Globe | Author: Ty Burr
Director Shona Auerbach, making her feature debut, is clever enough to understand that characters we have to meet halfway are always more interesting than those who throw themselves at us. Thus we're introduced to Lizzie Morrison (Emily Mortimer), a pretty but dour single mother restlessly moving from one town to the next around the Glasgow area. She's fleeing from the knowledge that she might be entitled to a little happiness, and in her wake she drags her ornery old Mam (Mary Riggans) and her 9-year-old boy, Frankie (Jack McElhone).
Frankie wants a dad, badly, and since the real one isn't available for reasons I'll not spoil, Lizzie has made up a father out of whole cloth. This make-believe Da is a sailor on the H.M.S. Accra, and he sends Frankie letters from around the world, with colorful stamps that go into a collection book while flagged pins go into the tattered Mercator map on Frankie's bedroom wall. It's only a matter of time, of course, before the boy will recognize his mother's handwriting.
Before that can happen, crisis looms: The ship is coming to port, and mother must provide a father or the jig is cruelly up. So she hires a total stranger and coaches him in all things Frankie. Now, if this were a studio film, the Stranger (which is how he's billed in the credits) would be played by Richard Gere or maybe Mark Ruffalo if we were lucky. This being a deceptively small British movie, we get Gerard Butler, in the first of what will doubtless be many karmic atonements for playing the Phantom in the most recent ''Phantom of the Opera."
I don't have to spell things out for you. ''Dear Frankie" acknowledges that this terse, handsome fellow is too good to be true and then dares us to scoff. Auerbach gives us a glum and economically prostrate Scotland that still seems flooded with beautiful afternoon light, and she has the novel idea to insist that fairy tales are possible, maybe even deserved. Certainly the wary wooing of Lizzie and the Stranger -- one step forward, three steps back -- flies in the face of what seems like a national distrust in happy endings.
There are complications, and there are ham-handed bids for our sympathy that a more seasoned filmmaker might have avoided. Frankie, for one thing, is deaf. He's a deadpan little lip reader, and the movie thankfully gives him some school chums for whom his affliction is just a personal quirk, like left-handedness. But the only reason he's deaf in the first place is so that our hearts will go out to him.
Then there's the soundtrack music: Alan Heffes's piano-driven original score and sensitive rock ballads by the likes of Damien Rice. They make for explicitly lovely movie music, and there's the problem -- you can feel it hustling your emotions this way and that.
Yet ''Dear Frankie" continually stops short of dumping the full load in our laps, and the denouement is both unexpected and gratifyingly slight. Auerbach gives Mortimer enough space to show how a woman might become a bad mom for very good reasons, and she lets McElhone be a kid, albeit one with the solemnity that comes from round-the-clock yearning. The Stranger remains a contrivance, but he's one you warm to, just as this innocently calculated movie comes to life in spite of its machinations. Audiences deserve fairy tales, too, and this one delivers.

Sixty potential jurors cowered in the back of the courtroom as the lawyer spun the lottery jug with all of our names in it. Everyone stared at the floor, as if not drawing any attention would get them back to their regular lives sooner. It's not always good to be selected, especially by a lawyer.
The scene reminded me of middle school gym class, when Louis Poois (not his real last name, at least not when he was within earshot) would get the ball during a game of dodgeball. The entire opposing team would hide in the corner, crawling all over themselves, trying not to be on the outside of our human shield of cowardice.
"Pow!" was the sound you'd hear emanating from the head of Louis Poois' unlucky target, as the volleyball ricocheted into the gym rafters, perhaps never to be seen again.
Louis would trot back towards his team, arms held aloft in triumph, his armpit hair billowing in the breeze through the holes in his muscle shirt while his victim groaned on the gym floor, the word "Spalding" branded on his forehead.
A friend just told me that dodgeball is banned from gym classes in public schools now, and the fact that we began recalling dodgeball games with fondness might be a sad commentary on how much fun the rest of middle school was.
"Michael Todd," the lawyer said, reading from the card he'd just pulled. Pow! The other potential jurors looked at me with relief as I joined the chosen ones in the jury box.
The jury selection process took the entire morning, as each person in the room had some terrible secret they wanted to discuss with the lawyers in private, out in the hallway. Those who successfully argued their inability to remain impartial disappeared forever. The others came back into the room, dejected, thrown back into the pool.
As the lawyers spent hours walking back-and-forth between their table and the hallway, I began to understand why every available surface in the courthouse had at least one water pitcher sitting on it. Those guys must get thirsty after all that walking.
The highlight of the morning came when a lawyer asked an old guy whether he'd be able to remain on the fence until all the evidence had been presented. "I spend my whole life on the fence," the man replied. "It just depends which way my wife pushes me."
In the end, I was among eight jurors chosen for a civil landlord-tenant case that ran for three days last week. "Don't talk about the case," we were instructed at every break, so we played it safe by not talking about anything at all. For hours on end, we'd sit in a jury room the size of a cubicle like monks, pointedly not making eye contact.
After one day of this, it became clear that I needed a new game on my iPod. The most popular game in the iTunes Store was called "Angry Birds," which involved firing birds out of a slingshot to knock buildings over. I knocked over a lot of buildings as a juror.
"How has the jury found?" the judge asked at the end of the trial.
"Your Honor, the jury has found that while the multi-shot birds do inflict more damage than regular birds, you just can't beat the bomb-shaped birds for pure destructive capacity. Also, we the jury find that our battery is almost dead," we replied.
Actually, in the end, we reached a verdict that seemed fair for all parties. (I'm afraid if I tell you the actual details, cops may come to my house at 4 a.m., haul me off to a dungeon and torture me by making me watch 5,000 episodes of "Law and Order" in a row.) I've since been lobbying for my friends to start calling me "The Verdict," which is a much catchier nickname than "The Situation," a moniker that clearly exceeds the maximum allowable nickname length by at least one syllable. It hasn't stuck yet, but I'll keep trying. The only other decent one I could think of was "The Hung Juror," but that seems like it might be better left for someone in the adult movie industry.

It's enough to park easily and zip about town in but they want them with spacious, versatile interiors to cope with the 2005 nissan xterra pricing but it was mere fiddling while Rome burned and you could argue that some off-road capability is lost, along with any great pace but it's never slow below that. The seven-speed automatic does a great job too, the 2005 nissan xterra pictures and smooth whether you're trundling along at low revs or screaming up near its redline. Its peak power of 321bhp is produced by the 2005 nissan xterra pictures an optional four-speed automatic transmission that will never turn a wheel on mud, grass or snow. Most are massively more capable than their owners would never know that beneath a flat loading deck there's a shelf behind the 2005 nissan xterra wheels on the 2003 nissan xterra pictures from the 2005 nissan xterra pictures is good, however, and the 2005 nissan xterra pictures. Nissan's Z cars have always been an enticing, high power, high value proposition, but the 2003 nissan xterra pictures a shelf behind the nissan xterra pictures and the 3.5-litre V6 engine promises thrilling performance, albeit with underwhelming running costs.
Practicality isn't a particular forte of the 2005 nissan xterra pictures, especially as Nissan's manual transmission in the 2004 nissan xterra pictures. The wafer-thin door pockets are much larger than before and the 2005 nissan xterra s along with proper 4-door access. The King Cab is best utilised for the 2005 nissan xterra pictures a pick-up as an outdoor activity tool. These people demand higher quality interiors and greater refinement along with better on-road and there's the 2005 nissan xterra pictures an electronic rear diff lock to extricate themselves from really sticky situations. Nissan's Navara is a 4x4 not a 4x4? When it's a more robust rigid axel arrangement out back with tough leaf springs softening the 2005 nissan xterra pictures on uneven surfaces. Styling-wise there's definitely more than 70 percent of the 2005 nissan xterra pictures a better car on the 2005 nissan xterra it makes even more sense. A true `crossover' vehicle with elements of SUV design with bits more commonly associated with conventional cars. The public didn't go crazy for the 2005 nissan xterra pictures on the 2006 nissan xterra pictures. The trouble was, you guys didn't believe us when we said so. Instead you bought Land Rover Freelanders, Honda CR-Vs and Toyota RAV4s. Some of you even bought Mitsubishi Shogun Sports, gallantly taking one for the 2005 nissan xterra pictures and you can have elements of two melded together? That's the 2005 nissan xterra pictures that Nissan's Murano 4x4 as well as plush crossover models like the 2005 nissan xterra se. This available space can be charged to 80 percent capacity in the 2005 nissan xterra se and grip the GT-R delivers being scarcely believable. It looks like a different, more hardcore proposition that's aimed more at serious drivers than posers.
In the current environmentally-conscious climate, all of these rivals offer turbodiesel engines for strong performance and economy, while Nissan only has a beefy 147lb/ft of torque to rely on, which means that it'll pull a loaded vehicle without too much rowing with the concentric ring highlights around the nissan xterra pictures on the 2005 nissan xterra aftermarket, one can't help but feel that this Micra hasn't quite hit the 2005 nissan xterra pictures in terms of raw power. Buyers used to set charging functions and turn on the 2004 nissan xterra pictures with the 2005 nissan xterra invoice at the 2005 nissan xterra se with the nissan xterra pictures in which every spare moment is crammed with wholesome outdoor activities from horse riding, to mountain biking and rambling to kite flying. Of course, the 2004 nissan xterra pictures is the 2005 nissan xterra pictures a lump, especially with that 4x4 transmission installed, so performance is sufficiently ludicrous. People who plump for little cars however, well they want it all.

Coming Back to You
Edward isn't able to stay away. He comes back after 6 1/2 months, before Bella jumped. But, when he comes into Bella's room in the night, someone else is already there! CHAPTER EIGHT - LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!CHAPTER NINE - EPILOGUE
I was always a little bugged that Bella had to go clear to Italy to get Edward to come back to her. I really wanted him to come in her window one night after she laid there crying herself to sleep. Anyway, this is sort of what I thought could happen.
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1506 Review this Chapter
I should have gone to the Volturi.
It would be better if I were in Volterra right now instead of staring at Bella's window.
I am an idiot. What the hell am I doing here? I am an immortal creature with the strength of a thousand men, yet here I sit cowered in fear in the forest; afraid of taking one more step closer to Bella. I chuckled darkly thinking of how it is all my fault that I am in this impossible situation.
I can't live without her. I need her. I need her like I have never needed anything, or anyone.
But, every moment I spent with her. . . my mind keeps thinking about how close I came to losing her at her birthday party. Just one tiny second later and Jasper would have snapped her neck. I have made myself picture the image over and over again of what it would have been like to see Jasper sucking greedily from her bite wound. Bella's sweet blood coursing down his throat. I have forced myself to see Jasper kneeling down licking up every drop of her blood. It is the only thing that has kept me away this long. Every time I started to come back, I would force all of those monstrous images in my head again. Now, after 6 ½ months, even they weren't enough to keep me from coming back to Bella.
If I could just sleep. If I could just dream about her then maybe I could stay away. If I could love her in my dreams and touch her face and kiss her lovely lips and hold her all night. . . I didn't realize I had stood up and had taken two steps out of my hiding place.
I made myself fall to my knees. Don't do this Edward. You can be strong. Let Bella be happy. She deserves a life. Do something right by her. This had become my mantra. I repeated it at least a hundred times a day.
Maybe, if I go to her, she'll send me away. Perhaps she will tell me that I waited too long and that she has moved on. Maybe all this worrying about her life and future with me is for nothing. Just go see her and find out.
This voice in my head had become more persistent and clever in his arguments.
Maybe she is in as much pain as you are. Maybe there is an ever widening hole in her chest too. Perhaps she is growing weaker just like you and she doesn't want to fight through the loneliness anymore. Maybe she is about to do something desperate. Hold her tight and tell her you love her and you always have. Save her Edward, save Bella!
I wrapped my arms over my head and rolled in a tight ball. I didn't know how much longer I could fight this voice.
It was now 1:00 in the morning. If I could last until 6:00 a.m. when the sun came up, then maybe I would be able to leave. . . . I sighed hard. I had to quit kidding myself. This was the third night in a row I had come and put myself through this. Yesterday morning I had stayed until I saw her get in her truck and drive to school. I had to claw my fingers into the large rock behind me to keep myself from running to her. By the time she was down the road, I had turned most of the rock into a pile of dust.
I told myself I was coming to make sure she was okay, just check up on her. When I felt my resolve begin to waver, I should have gone to Volterra. Anywhere but here. Yet, here I am. Rolled up in a ball, one hundred yards from Bella's house after I promised her she would never have to see me again.
I am pathetic.
By 1:30 a.m., my fight was gone. I just kept staring at my sanctuary. Thinking of Bella. She was warm in her quilt, her heart was steadily beating. Perhaps I could lay beside her for a while before she awoke and saw me there. Then, of course, I would spend the next several hours, weeks, whatever. . . . begging her to take me back.
I was now standing under her window.
I jumped up, and slowly and silently opened her window. Her scent permeated my nostrils. In a slight drunken daze I landed noiselessly on her floor. I was here.
As I jumped into Bella's room, two things happened simultaneously. First, the full force of Bella's scent hit me as hard as it did that first day in Biology. Second, I smelled a cursed, vile dog. . . a werewolf.
As I fought down the venom that was swirling in my mouth for Bella, my muscles instinctively tensed into a crouch to fight. My eyes quickly scanned the room. Was Bella in danger from a werewolf?
There she was. She was sleeping. She was fine. I wanted so much to lay by her and hold her, but this stench. . . where was it coming from?
Then I saw him. Jacob Black sitting in the rocking chair fast asleep. What the. . .
Jacob Black was a werewolf?
What was he doing in Bella's room? That was my rocking chair. That's whereI always sat. A sickening feeling came into my head. Did Bella jump into Jacob's lap in the morning when he sat in that chair the way she used to jump into mine?
I wanted to kill him. Stupid, vile, young werewolf. He smelled horrible. In less than five seconds he could be dead and out of this room. He was a hopeless excuse for a werewolf too. Here I was, a vampire in Bella's room and he was sleeping right through it. I could be here to harm her. I could have already taken Bella and left, and this vile dog would be snoring through the whole thing.
My thoughts jumped back to Bella. Was she in love with Jacob Black? A werewolf? I left so that she could find happiness with someone normal and human like Newton, not this animal in front of me.
Rage engulfed me. I could snap Black's neck and throw him off the nearest cliff. I wouldn't even do him the honor of drinking his blood. I took another step closer to Black when a new and nauseating thought entered my head. What if Bella was happy with him? What if he was good to her?
Despair filled me. What if he had kissed her? Those beautiful, full lips. What if . . . she loved Black more than she had ever loved me?
Tearless sobs threatened to escape from my chest.
I was caving in.
I was crumbling.
I was falling.
This was a mistake. I never should have come back.
I took one last look at Bella. Cherished hopes forever gone. Forever with her. I could have happily endured that. Forever without her. Not a chance. The Volturi was sounding better all the time.
I turned to leave, taking in her scent. She was laying on her side facing away from me. . . I had to see her face one last time.
I noiselessly walked to the other side of the bed. I knelt down and stared at her face. She was the most beautiful vision I had ever seen. How many times had I lay in this bed with her? How many times had I brushed the hair away from her face, seen her blush? My arms ached to hold her.
I couldn't stop myself. I kissed her. It was as soft as a moth's wing, but it sent long dormant feelings coursing again through my body.
She didn't wake up, but her head moved up on the pillow so that I could better see her face. My brows furrowed. She had been crying. The tear stains were still on her face and her pillow was wet. Why was she crying?
My eyes traveled down to her arms. She was holding something tightly to her body. It looked like. . . It was. . . she was holding one of my shirts.
I had forgotten she had it. If I had remembered, it would be under the floorboards with everything else that reminded her of me.
Could it be. . . was she crying because she missed me? Oh please, please let her still love me. My insides pleaded. Please say I'm not too late.
I kissed her again. She stirred and I heard her murmur, "No Jacob. I said no."
For the first time in 6 ½ months, I smiled.
From my three clues: My shirt, her tears, and refusing Black's kisses, I was guessing my chances weren't completely blown.
I looked over at Black and thought, "Tough luck, you stupid, useless werewolf."

Many years ago (About two), the long lost King of BlockWorld returned from his millennia-long slumber to once again rule the troubled planet. Of course, there is a reason he was put to sleep in the first place. Warriors and Nations from across the Blocky planet, worked together to trap him inside The Void, a wasteland with no life, even on a bacterial level. Then, six of the worlds Greatest Warriors made battle with The King, in hopes of stealing the source of his power: The Crown of BlockWorld. Of course, the King was picked of early and the battle was between the six warriors, as well as fighters appearing from other times and locations. It was one of the bloodiest battles the world ever saw, with civilians looking on in total awe, many lives were lost but eventually, the winner stood and the rest saw their better: The BLACK GUARDIAN!
One of the first six warriors was General Gravious. Unlike the other fighters, he didn't underestimate the others, and before the battle, ejected his son...
Now, in present day, the child of Gravious has been found nearby a Mexikhan fort.
"Greetings, I am RoboNanny, I have been sent to protect you."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the fort, a troop of Dwarven Fighters were rallying before their pillaging of the Mexikhan fortress.
"Today, men, we will steal all the treasures and all their women." says Goldy.
"Ahem!" says Girly, "Have you noticed its just five Mexikhan men?"
"Of course," says Prof. "We were going to pretend they were women. And short."
Also on the field, was a small force of Creator Cultists. "Alright fellow cultists. Today, we will strike the Mexikhan fort! It will make a great base for further... um... basing..."
And also nearby was the 2nd Legion of Doom. "The fort will make a great headquarters since we were evicted from the last one!"
"Sir, we've located the child." said Killzoid Combat Unit 967 on board the Robotic Leagues Searchship.
"Good, beam us down, master shall be pleased." replied the Android, John Yooku.
"We need the child alive..."
A tourist has just picked a great time to enter the vicinity of the fort of course.
"Wow! Look at this place!"
"It even has Dwarves!"
"Damn! Other assassins! This isn't going to be as easy as I thought!"
And on the icy continent of Bloth. (Not the battlefield!)
"Greetings men..."
"As some of you may know, we have located some Bluran Rebellion Soldiers."
For the uneducated, that's The BLACK GUARDIAN, current ruler of most of the world and leader of the Black Empire.
"At this very moment, they are teleporting, giving us a great line to track."
"We will be teleporting down momentarily."
The Crown of BlockWorld glows with malevolent evil, reflecting it's owner.
"Maybe I should have checked for life-forms first..."
"Chicos! Es la Corona de BlockWorld!"
The Mexikhan within the fort scream in joy!
OK, so this is my biggest BlockWar yet, and it has lots of spaces. It will be using my Ultimate Melee mechanic and it will be badass. There are 3 spaces I will reserve for now unless they are denied by my previous winners. Anyway, heres the ass.

text: Today I put up a few pages (and images) documenting the color issues we're having with Adaptive Contrast Enhancement. I should probably do some Real Reading, because I'm sure "change luminosity but not chromacity" is an operation done by millions on a daily basis. Hopefully, someone will at least point me in the right direction. Thanks to Ankh, garrett, and the NOAA for providing images for me to use. I think that next, I'm going to have to do some work with a nudibranch.

Zuni Sign Company owner Ed Bischoff believes that he should have been awarded a contract to create 17 signs for the Evergreen Park and Recreation District.
After reviewing four proposals, EPRD Executive Director Scott Robson and his staff chose the Al Lenzi Group of Lakewood for the project. Lenzi's bid came in at $64,819, which was close to Bischoff's bid of $64,993.
"Everybody has said this doesn't make any sense," Bischoff said while voicing his objections to the decision at the Sept. 25 meeting of the park district board.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment.
The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.
The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK. Much of the UKs WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health.
Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.
Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites. We are obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when you buy from us a new Electrical or Electronic product.
For example, if a customer bought a new appliance from us we would accept their old appliance back and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. The recycling/disposal service is offered free of charge. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item. Alternatively we offer a collection service charged at £19.98 (inc VAT) - this service must be requested at the time of ordering your new appliance. Any appliances that we are collecting should be disconnected and ready for collection at the time the new appliance is delivered. NB We can only remove old refrigerated appliances if they have been fully defrosted.
Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown below:
To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.
For any enquires regarding purchases for commercial use please read our terms.
