if its a plastic lens either toothpaste or 3m swirl remover and a rag. toothpaste has a very mild abrasive and works pretty well, alot of people use it on the plastic on their gauges

I think the solidworks is a couple of gig. I have to double check, if I can fit it on my flashdrive I will let you just borrow it.

if you get a template or something to work with I can make it up in solidworks

Flounder maybe we can CNC you some brackets to mover your rearsets up and back.

It was VERY Interesting in some of those cities... :eek:

I can show you some pics and give you the stories offline.

I'll just watch the news when you get back from brazil and see how man dead tranys they find...

Hopefully GSXRNurse and I will get to go somewhere fun this year. I have'nt had a vacation in forever

I guess to each their own, but going by yourself sounds quite boring... makes me picture you going to the movies by yourself, too.

If you go by yourself there are no "witnesses" I wonder how many romanian prostitutes Flounder buried over there.

One day someone is going to uncover a mass grave of teenage boys and nobody will be able to tell on Flounder

maybe spies can borrow tom cruise's bike

I guess I need to get some tickets to the indy race then..

I love the 12 oclock bars on some of them bad boys. I saw a lot of tricked out scooters in asia.

Yes it is a bigger problem here than it is there because they chose Columbus to settle not Cleveland and that is why you havent heard about it.

I will call them political refugees and so will the Community Refugee

and Immigration Services of columbus http://www.cris-ohio.com/ our government gives them interest free transportation loans that are hardly repaid just to come here

I am not saying they are all criminals but per capita they do commit more crimes than american citizens and per capita have higher disease rates. Yes they are causing lots of people discomfort, from increased theft and the lack of insurance of somali drivers. Maybe everyone should move, good suggestion

huh? I am not making up the fact that columbus has 40,000+ "political refugees" living here from somolia and I am not making up the fact that some of them are commiting fraud and costing US taxpayers millions. Do you have any other point other than there are bigger problems in this country?

As far as you comment "look a little closer to home" I cant get any closer there are hundreds of somalie "political refugees" within a couple blocks of my home. Maybe I am imagining them too

Yup, there was a movie called Blackhawk Down...everyone knows what comes out of Hollywood is true, right?

There WAS a civil "war" that happened in Somalia, but it wasn't going on when we initially went there on the aid mission. People were starving, and the bleeding heart liberals in this country wanted to feed them. That's what we did.

Once it was "up and running" (done and paid for by the USA) the UN decided that they were better suited to operate this "humanitarian mission", so we turned it all over to them. When the Somali "War Lords" saw the opportunity to take all the stuff the UN was passing out, things got sticky. THAT is when the "war" started. Although the US had the largest number of people on the ground, it wasn't a US Mission - it was the UN. We didn't go to Somalia to bail anyone out of any war. You wanna blame somebody for "Blackhawk Down"? Call the UN.

I think its really a stretch to connect those events to the fact that some Somali immigrants got caught cheating the government. They more than likely would have come here regardless - just like they come from everywhere else. They'll all bitch about this country when they're in their homeland, but the first place they all want to come is here. Why do you think that is?

You know, its been a hell of a long time since we invaded Mexico, or anywhere else in Latin America, but they keep coming here by the dozens.

I'd be more worried about that as opposed to the welfare fraud.

Somali refugees began arriving in the United States and Columbus became a popular destination. Ohio now has the second largest Somali population in the nation. It is estimated that 40,000 Somali refugees call Columbus home and more are expected in the future. Even in Somali, Columbus, Ohio has become well-known.

In 2000 the Somali Community Association of Ohio began providing assistance to hundreds of these new refugees and immigrants. Men, women, young adults and school children walk through our doors every day searching for community services.

do you think that the fact that we open our doors to these people and let them live here legally has anything to do with our involvment in their countries matters? If you need help making that decision read up about dearborn michigan. Shortly after "desert storm" we had people from Iraq moving here by the thousands.

Or penis.

I would definately beat her with the nightstick if you know what i mean;) maybe a mushroom stamp on her forehead would clear things up:grin:

Actually I work for the courts if you PM me your info I will double check and clear everything up for you.

I would have busted out the cuffs

Keep a couple of things in mind here....

1. The US went to Somalia on a humanitarian relief mission that was more or less over within a year. It was the "multi-national" UN task force that got us bogged down over there. We didn't go over there to "get in the middle" of someone else's war.
   
2. It was your tax dollars at work when it took a bloated state government all of that time to uncover the fraud.
   
3. If we didn't give so much away in "welfare", there wouldn't be as much opportunity for fraud.

Carry on.....

Wasnt there some movie called "Blackhawk Down" that address some of the US involvement over there??

Was there a war going on there? Did we have any military operations there?

So we had 20,000+ troops there and had military operations there and we didnt "get in the middle" of there war?

You believe what you want but I believe the US needs to keep its nose out of other peoples business.

Let me call everyones attemtion to the fact that it took three years for someone to notice that they were only claiming half of the money that they took in from WIC.

This is why we should NEVER again set foot on anyother countries soil. When we get involved in another countries war we get the luxury of political refugees.

Eight Somali store operators charged in food-stamp fraud -

Eight men who ran four area food markets are accused of abusing federal food programs for the needy at a cost to taxpayers of more than $1.5 million, newly unsealed charges allege.

Federal officials announced the indictments and arrests yesterday, though six of the eight men were indicted on Jan. 10 and arrested Friday.

The indictments say that the owners and managers of two stores on the North Side and two on the West Side allowed their customers to use food stamps and WIC vouchers illegally. They permitted, authorities say, the exchange of the stamps and vouchers for cash and allowed people to use them to buy prepaid international phone cards and to pay off personal loans.

In some cases, the money also was laundered through U.S. bank accounts and wasn’t disclosed on tax returns, said IRS spokesman Craig Casserly.

All eight of the men indicted are Somali immigrants who were in the country legally but are not U.S. citizens.

The stores involved included City Dollar Store, 3350 Cleveland Ave.; Ohio Grocery and Halal Meats, 2815 Cleveland Ave.; Marwaas Market, 4181 W. Broad St.; and Muna Market, 3770 W. Broad St. All of the stores catered to the Somali community, said Fred Alverson, spokesman for the U.S. district attorney’s office.

All four stores closed during the investigations; three have since reopened under new ownership.

The Marwaas Market location now operates as the Margherita Market. The Ohio Grocery and Halal Meats location is now the Salama Market. City Dollar’s new owner uses the same name.

During the investigation, undercover officers went into the stores and were given money for food stamps, the charges state.

The indictments do not clarify if the person was given an equal amount in cash, or whether the store charged a fee for the transaction.

The indictments show that the stores had a high percentage of food-stamp transactions.

For example, City Dollar Store showed it had $1.8 million in tax-exempt sales from January 2003 to August 2006. During that same time, the store claimed twice that amount -- $3.4 million -- in food stamp purchases.

Those arrested are: Khalif Mohamed Abukar, whose age is unknown; Zeidi Said Omar, 44; Saidi Kadi Sheikuna, 36; Ali Ahmed Said, 36; Abdulhakim Said Abukar, 35; and Shuceeb Geedi, 50.

Their addresses weren’t available and none could be reached for comment. The six named have been allowed to remain free as their cases go through court

+1 I'm sick of us taking care of leeches more and more as time goes by. They're so content with what the gov't provides them with, they have no desire to get a respectable life. It's fucking rediculous!

If you really want to have fun go to the grocery store at the beginning of the month. It is amazing to see so many well dressed people with shopping carts stacked so high paying with wic / foodstamps or whatever they are called. I wish I could afford to eat as much steak as our "less fortunate citizens"
