Geoff Tate of Queensryche gets my vote...excellent range and flawless vocals

Here's some of my car taken from the site of our next architecture project near Boone, Iowa. My car got a little dusty on the way there. These pictures should dispell the rumors that Iowa is a completely flat state. :P Here you can see how small my car is compared to the Kate Shelley High Bridge

It should. I do it everytime I'm not given the option to save as a JPG, and it always works.

I saw a fleet Toyota Camry yesterday morning...it said "Commercial" on the license plate. Detroit is kinda in a tough situation...they give up fleet sales in order to increase resale value, in turn hurting market share. However, Japan increases fleet sales, giving them month-after-month market share increases, and their resale value remains steady. I wonder how many fleet sales it will take before Camry resale begins to drop, if ever?

Ack! I see a Fox Mustang in there...I hope it's a 4-cylinder.

Just enough...I'll come on and browse a few times a day, but usually only for short periods of time when I have nothing else going on. I only post like 5 posts maximum a day. I used to be on here more in the summer, but I don't really have much time for C&G now with school in full gear.

I got all except for this bitch That Saleen one was cake for me. :P

I agree that sometimes the police are just trying to do their job and bad situations happen, but there's a point where it goes beyond protecting and serving to hate and anger. They let their emotions get in the way of doing their job, which is what happened here. And at that point, they either need to shape up or leave the force.

That happens to me sometimes too when I'm saving pictures from certain websites. Simply, all you do is type .jpg after the file name (for example, if your file is camaro01.bmp, take out the .bmp and replace it with .jpg). Then it automatically converts it. That's all you do. Now, if it's doing it for every picture, then I'm not sure how you would fix that...but this way should still allow you to save as a jpeg.

Not just punch him, they slammed his head into the wall as well. Even though the guy claims he wasn't drunk, and even if he was, you handcuff him and stick him in a patrol car and get it over with. He didn't appear to resist at all...yet they countered by reducing him to a bloody pulp. There was nothing to justify this kind of violence, especially on a 65 year old man.

Story ----------- Way too much force was used on this guy. The video of him lying in the ground soaked in blood is unreal. I'm sure some of these police have been traumatized by recent events, but there is no excuse for this kind of behavior.

That's good...I'm the same way, they can be the most gorgeous person to look at, but if there's nothing worthwhile inside...later gator. I could never date 3/4 of the sorority girls here because their personalities simply suck.

Time to break out the popcorn

I can MIG and arc weld too. I haven't done it in a couple years, but I did it a lot back in high school for industrial tech projects. I was pretty good at it too.

I don't really like this concept very much. Even though I'm not as big of a fan of the '95-'99s as much as other Montes, I like how the production version turned out much better than this. This looks more like a 2-door Lumina than a Monte Carlo.

I agree with Flybrian...at 11 years old, I don't think she fully understood the consquences of taking her own life. Sensationalism or not, this was a sad story, and I hope those bullies truly regret what pain they caused this family.

Grieving her 11-year-old daughter's suicide Father's brush with police, bullies' taunts and threats to her new puppy gradually sapped a Winnipeg girl of the will to live By JULIUS STRAUSS Friday, October 7, 2005 Page A1 WINNIPEG -- For 11-year-old Kathleen Beardy it was all simply too much. First she watched as her father Kelly was handcuffed and dragged from the family home by two police officers. Then she was forced to endure the seemingly endless taunts of neighbourhood bullies in her tough Winnipeg district. Finally, her delight when she bought a small puppy for $2 turned to dismay as bullies made off with her new pet, telling her they would sell it. Sapped of the will to live, last Saturday evening Kathleen climbed onto a pile of gravel and, looping the puppy's leash around the low-lying bough of an elm tree, hanged herself. At first, when her friends saw her, they thought she was fooling around. "Come down, the joke is over," one of them cried to her. It was only as they came closer they realized what she had done and began to scream in terror. One of the neighbourhood toughs even tried, and failed, to untie her. By the time her mother, Christina Beardy, arrived several minutes later, Kathleen was dead. "The police were there," Ms. Beardy said. "They asked if I was family but I didn't know who they were talking about. When I realized it was Kathleen there I just starting shouting 'Oh please no!' " At the very least the tragedy of Kathleen Beardy is a terrible insight into the brutality of life on the streets of Canada's inner cities. According to local media reports, both her mother and father were remanded by police early last week, leaving Kathleen and four other siblings in the care of her pregnant sister Beverly, 17, for several days. But what has made the case overtly political is that Kathleen's family said the girl had witnessed the allegedly brutal and unwarranted arrest of her father a week before her death, which sowed the seeds of her mental torment. After the injuries, he complains of increasing headaches and pains in his legs. The skin is still missing from his knees and pictures held by his lawyer show abrasions to his upper body. Meanwhile Ms. Beardy has spent the week struggling to arrange Kathleen's funeral. The cost of the service is a little more than $5,500 but she said so far she has only raised about $1,600. "I asked provincial welfare for help but they said they only provide money for food and shelter, not for grieving," she said. On Tuesday, Ms. Beardy took her children to dress Kathleen's body. They tied a sash to her forehead, coloured her lips with gloss and pulled on her favourite dancing dress. The family also made a collage of photographs of Kathleen's short life. One showed her standing next to a frozen Lake Winnipeg smiling. Another showed her at a bible school. While searching for more photographs, Ms. Beardy came across Kathleen's status card. "She was proud to be an Indian and very interested in our traditions," Ms. Beardy said. "She believed in both aboriginal culture and the Bible. "She loved going to church." In keeping with her Christian faith, Kathleen's body was laid out in an open white casket decorated with pink silk at the Aboriginal Funeral Chapel on Wednesday night. Honouring aboriginal tradition, Ms. Beardy carefully cut long, plaited braids from her own head and those of her daughters and laid them in the coffin. At the spot where Kathleen died, a shabby back alley between abandoned houses strewn with old bits of roofing, friends and neighbours set up a small shrine to mark her death. The pile of gravel she used to kill herself was covered with teddy bears -- brown, white and pink -- and handwritten messages from well-wishers and classmates. At the site, Winnipeggers of all ethnicities came to pay their respects. A traditional aboriginal fire was lit under a thin plywood shelter to protect it from the first snowfall of the season. The bullies returned the puppy to the family. Mary Sinclair, Kathleen's grandmother, had flown to Winnipeg from Victoria when she heard the news. She said: "We would never have thought it of Kathleen. She was always so good and so lively and she never seemed to have any problems. Maybe we just didn't know what was going on inside."

It's probably too late now, but the only advice I can give you is next time get one of those magnetic boxes and stick a spare key in it, then attach it to a piece of steel in your bumper. I did that and it saved me on a couple occasions. Otherwise, to shut if off now, you're pretty much screwed unless you want to break the window. Which would be cheaper? Spending hundreds on a new window or wasting about $15 worth of gas until you can get someone to unlock it? One of my buddies did that after golf practice one time and I think he ended up calling the police to help him out...I'm not sure how they got it unlocked though.

The colors, Duke, the colors!

When I was little, I first got Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys and then Legos that I would play with for hours and build all these little cities. Then as I got older, I got K'Nex, Micro Machines (I had so many of the city sets that I could cover half of a room), and finally my favorite toy, Girder and Panel. I found my first Girder and Panel (known as KenStruct in the 70s) set at a garage sale...it's basically where you construct skyscrapers with these little plastic beams and columns and then you snap on these plastic panels for the walls and windows. The first set was from the mid 70s, and then one day at Toys R' Us I found out they had a new set and got that for a Christmas present. The two I got were called Cityscape and Deluxe Skyscraper. I think these toys are what got me interested in becoming an architect. I was just curious if others here played with toys when they were a kid that had something to do with what occupation you ended up in.

These pics make them look better than the ones posted at GMI, but I'm still a little underwhelmed at both. I don't really like the grilles and headlights on either, but the rear and sides are good. Something makes them look more feminine than the Tahoe...and GMC in my mind should always be more brute. Maybe they'll grow on me.

O' Lincoln, why oh why can't you have any of these?
