Got the wheels on the car, and I don't think I will be taking them off any time soon. Don't want to be doing that every week.

Its pretty amazing how much 65k k's worth of brake dust does to a wheel. 10 min of constant scrubbing and still would not come off.

When brake dust comes off a pad,it's pretty hot, add to that centrifugal forces,plus a bit of moisture,and you have the perfect recipe for what you are experiencing,at least your new rims are pretty open,so you should be able to stay on top of the build up, now they're going to be a permanent fixture

not sure why they haven't just nuked the fukkers. i know, cockroaches will always scurry away but surely they'd get 90% of the riff raff.

Charlie Sheen to Reportedly Announce He’s HIV Positive on ‘Today’ Show

According to multiple reports, Charlie Sheen will reveal that he is HIV positive on the “Today” show Tuesday morning.
Sheen is set to make a “revealing personal announcement” on the “Today” show Tuesday morning, the NBC morning show announced in a Monday press release, stating that the “Two and a Half Men” alum will sit down with Matt Lauer for an exclusive interview, live from Studio 1A in New York City. Following the Tuesday morning broadcast, Sheen’s revealing interview will be available on Today.com.

Though NBC did not specify what Sheen’s announcement would entail, the National Enquirer reports the actor is HIV positive. TMZ also reports that sources close to “Today” say Sheen will reveal that he is HIV positive, as does People.

“It’s been going on for quite awhile. He’s not necessarily comfortable talking about it. It was very hard to get up the courage for him to talk about it,” publicist and crisis manager Howard Bragman told People, adding thaat Sheen is getting treatment and many people close to him know about the diagnosis.

Sheen’s ex-wife, actress Denise Richards, has known about his disease for a “number of years,” according to Access Hollywood, whose sources say Richards — and her two daughters with Sheen — are not infected, as the actor reportedly contracted HIV after the couple’s divorce in 2006.

Posted Monday morning, the Enquirer printed Sheen’s name on their website, though the tabloid first “exposed how a notorious Hollywood womanizer was hiding a deadly health crisis” last month in an anonymous story titled, “Hollywood Superstar’s Desperate Battle With AIDS!” which did not reveal Sheen’s identity. Now, the Enquirer is set to publish the full story in its Nov. 18 issue, which — according to the outlet — will expose a “multi-million dollar cover-up that will rock Tinseltown.”

Variety has reached out to Sheen’s reps and “Today” for comment on the National Enquirer’s report.

i come across this article today on how to fix scratched plastics in your cars interiors. the link is to the 'grain pads' that have the plastic patterns imprinted on them. thumbsup.gif

http://repaintsupply.com/sem-70022-interio...pads-p3657.html

QUOTE
Is the interior of your cars plastic scratched? Having scratches on the interior plastic or vinyl of your car can be ugly. Especially if you are going to be selling it. Many times by moving things in and out of your car, scratching of the plastic interior can occur. There are different methods to repairing and fixing this yourself. Most involve sanding the plastic, painting the plastic, and heating the plastic.

One of the easiest ways to fix this fast is to go to an auto salvage yard and find the same exact car as yours. With any luck you can find the exact piece of door panel plastic in the exact color. We have done this many times with doors, bumpers, mirrors, and dashboards. However, if using an auto salvage yard is not possible, then see below for how to fix this without replacing the plastic.

To repair the scratched plastic on your car interior WITHOUT A KIT:

STEP 1: Clean the plastic surface to remove any dirt or debris.

STEP 2: Using a heat gun, put the heat to about half and warm the scratched surface until it is soft and mushy. NOTE: Make sure you do not overheat the plastic as you WILL burn it.

STEP 3: Apply a grain pad (around $7 dollars) to the plastic surface as this will re-texture the plastic. NOTE: Be careful when doing this step as the plastic will be very HOT!

STEP 4: After applying the grain pad, let the plastic cool and sand with superfine sandpaper to smooth it out if needed.

TIP: If the plastic has faded, you can purchase special types of dyes that are made just for car plastic.

Stephen Colbert Calls ISIS ‘A Bunch Of Pussies’ In Tremendous Rant About Standing With The People Of France

Over the weekend, I used Facebook’s overlay to turn my profile into the French flag. Millions around the world did the same. A couple gasbags went on a soapbox of self-righteousness about the simple gesture, but ultimately, it was an important one of unity — like lowering the flag to half-mast at the post office or the “Je suis Charlie” displays earlier this year. It’s a message that, as world, we’re all brothers who won’t stand for Daesh’s heinous acts of unthinkable evil.

Last night Stephen Colbert went on a tremendous rant about why important, small gestures like changing your Facebook profile to the French flag are important. It’s a united “fcuk you” to ISIS a.k.a. Daesh from the citizens of the world that they need to hear. And like his talk show host in arms John Oliver, Colbert delivered it in a way that makes us laugh, concluding with calling Daesh what they really are — “a bunch of pussies.”




here's the transcript......
QUOTE
“I wanted to start my show tonight by once again offering our thoughts and prayers to the people of Paris. New York is a city that sadly knows too well the horror the French experienced on Friday. And we also know there are no words that can reach the depth of their grief and their shock, but we stand with the people of France as a friend, and an ally, and offer a hope that there is a way through the unspeakable tragedy.

“And also let’s take the opportunity to thank France for what they’ve done for us,” he continued. “They’ve given the United States so much over the years: aid to General Washington in our fight for independence; key intelligence on how to put potatoes in boiling oil; my favorite way of kissing; half the continent at a bargain price (no take-backs, guys!); and most of all, France gave America our enduring symbol of freedom,” before throwing to a photo of the Statue of Liberty.

“Because we have used that freedom to make foam versions of it for drunk people to wear on New Year’s Eve. And today, in a tribute to its mother country, Lady Liberty offered ISIS a fitting gesture.” [Cut to a photo of the Statue of Liberty giving the middle finger.] “Long may it wave.

“In fact, all over the world this weekend, there were displays of support of the French. The Sydney Opera House. Rio’s Christ the Redeemer. And the Paris Las Vegas hotel dimmed their Eiffel Tower lights. Now, some might say these gestures don’t actually do anything, but I disagree. People are trying to find any way they can to show support, however small, to the people of France. For instance, Twitter was deluged with statements of support, from the hashtag #PrayForParis to messages like ‘In support of what is happening in Paris, my wife and I are watching Ratatouille.’ And ‘Watching Ratatouille to honor all the citizens of Paris.’ Is that wrong? No. Is Ratatouille a French film? No. Is it a valid expression? Absolutely.

“Because watching a cartoon Parisian rat make soup is certainly as valid as anything I will say tonight, I promise you that. So, to everybody, if it makes you feel a connection to the people of Paris, go drink a bottle of Bordeaux. Eat a croissant at Au Bon Pain. Slap on a beret and smoke a cigarette like this. Go eat some french fries, which I am now calling freedom fries in honor of the French people. Because anything that is an attempt at human connection in the world right now is positive.

“We asked ourselves, ‘Is tonight an appropriate time for Acro Cats?’ And then we asked a bigger question: ‘Is there ever an appropriate time for Acro Cats?’ No, there is not. So we said, ‘Absolutely, let’s have them on.’ Because I’ll tell you what, I don’t think ISIS would like Acro Cats. I don’t. They’re cute and they’re silly, two things ISIS hates. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that they’re a bunch of pussies.”

Val Kilmer Set to Return For TOP GUN 2!

Val Kilmer confirmed on Facebook today that he was asked to come back and reprise his role of "Iceman" in Top Gun 2, and that he accepted the offer. He writes:

“I just got offered ‪Top Gun 2. Not often you get to say 'yes' without reading the script… We will all miss Tony Scott one of the kindest gentlemen I’ve ever met in the film biz, but let’s fire up some fighter jets again!!!”
Tom Cruise has been expected to return for years, so it will be pretty freakin' cool to see Maverick and Iceman on screen together again. Do you think we'll get to see them play volleyball against each other again...as older out-of-shape men?

This Top Gun sequel has been in development for quite a few years, but it seems like things are actually starting to pick up, especially with the announcement of Kilmer. That's sure to get fans excited.

Jerry Bruckheimer is producing the film and he previously said that the story would involve a modern version of aerial warfare with drones and remote pilots. It was also revealed the film would be set 30 years after the events of what we saw in Top Gun.

The last thing we heard about the project came from Skydance Productions CEO David Ellison, who is also a producer on the project. He said:

"Justin Marks is writing the screenplay right now. He has a phenomenal take to really update that world for what fighter pilots in the navy have turned into today. There is an amazing role for Maverick in the movie and there is no Top Gun without Maverick. It is going to be Maverick playing Maverick. I don’t think it is what people are going to expect, and we are very, very hopeful that we get to make the movie very soon. But like all things, it all comes down to the script, and Justin is writing as we speak."

Tony Scott was interested in returning to direct the film before his tragic death. The project still doesn't have a director, but I can't help but think that Michael Bay should be the guy to bring it to life. I'd much rather see him do this than another Transformers movie.

Ryan Gosling to star in Blade Runner 2

Ryan Gosling is to star in 'Blade Runner 2'. The 35-year-old actor has confirmed speculation he is to play a central role in the much-discussed sequel to the 1982 sci-fi hit, which starred Harrison Ford and was directed.

The 35-year-old actor has confirmed speculation he is to play a central role in the much-discussed sequel to the 1982 sci-fi hit, which starred Harrison Ford and was directed by Ridley Scott.

Asked if the rumours were true, Ryan said: ''Yes, that's true!''

The Hollywood hunk admitted he's looking forward to working with filmmaker Shane Black and his Oscar-winning co-star Russell Crowe.

He told Collider: ''I don't know what to say. It's Shane Black.

''He's a world unto himself and his world is so fun and crazy. I had such a great time.''

Although Ryan remained tight-lipped about the film's plot, he was happy to reveal his co-star plays an unusually humorous character.

He shared: ''Russell Crowe is so funny in the movie, and I can't wait for people to see that. It's a side of himself that he doesn't show very often, and it's hysterical.''

Meanwhile, Ridley Scott previously revealed the plot of the new movie had convinced Harrison Ford to return to the franchise.

He said: ''I got Harrison back. Because Harrison said, 'Meh,' and I said, 'No, read this.' And I think he said, 'This is the best script I've ever had'. We've been working on it for a couple of years.''

Auburn council calls on controversial deputy mayor Salim Mehajer to consider resigning

QUOTE
Within the space of 20 minutes on Wednesday night, Salim Mehajer's rather bad day got considerably worse.

The Auburn deputy mayor and property developer, who spent his day dealing with three separate court matters
, did not attend the Auburn council meeting on Wednesday. So he was not present when councillors resolved that he ought to consider resigning from the council "in light of the continuing public outrage".
Then the council voted to rescind its $6.5 million sale of a municipal car park to the 29-year-old.
The call for Cr Mehajer to consider resigning followed legal advice that a councillor could step down at any time but "can only be removed in limited circumstances".
Labor's George Campbell, who put forward the motion, told the chamber that the council needed to separate itself from conduct of Cr Mehajer, who found himself before a court "fairly frequently".
"We are making a stand that we do not approve of his behaviour," Cr Campbell said.
"This resolution is aimed at rescuing the reputation of this council."

Salim Mehajer pleads not guilty to intimidating father of Martin Place siege survivor

Controversial local government figure Salim Mehajer has pleaded not guilty to intimidation for allegedly making threats against the father of a Martin Place siege survivor.

Auburn City Council’s deputy mayor attended Burwood Local Court this morning over accusations he threatened Bruce Herat at the Anytime Fitness Gym in Sydney’s inner west on September 16.

Mr Herat is the father of Joel Herat, a Lindt Café employee who was held hostage during the December siege by gunman Man Haron Monis.

Twenty-nine-year-old Mr Mehajer, who shot to prominence after his lavish wedding caused mass traffic issues in Auburn in August, has pleaded not guilty.

Documents tendered to the court alleged Mr Mehajer told Mr Herat "you know who I am... you're just a personal trainer, you're beneath me".

An Apprehended Violence Order remains in place, stating the deputy mayor may not approach the alleged victim or the gym. Mr Mehajer’s defence told the court they would challenge the order when the matter returns to court on January 14.

Today the local government councillor and property developer arrived at court alone – being dropped off and picked up in a white 4WD – however he was accompanied by his new wife Aysha yesterday when he pleaded guilty to driving without a licence at Punchbowl in Sydney’s south west on October 24.

Yesterday, he also denied a charge of driving while it was unregistered.

The court date comes after fellow Auburn councillors resolved he should consider resigning from council “in light of the continuing public outrage”, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

The resolution was passed six votes to two at last night’s meeting of Auburn City Council.

Mr Mehajer did not attend the council meeting.

My favourite part is how the 2 people who didn't vote to out him are a relative, and a councilor who makes heaps of money of the scumbag's property dealings...

On the Ford GT - I really like that. It's still a concept though (but a fairly late one). Final design and specs all to be announced. It's also going to be more than I'm looking at spending next year unfortunately! Still looking like NSX might be my favourite new car in that space.
