All Lives Matter
My Papa was born in 1898. Only one time do I remember his sharing how hard life was for him, and his immediate and extended family. French mothers fought hard to keep their family heritage and language at the forefront of their teachings. Papa's mother insisted her family only speak French. If she heard them speak English, the children were punished severely. At that time, assimilation into the English culture in Louisiana was forbidden by French families. The children received the brunt of this division. If they spoke French in public, they were often slighted, made fun of, or physically harmed by the English settlers.
My great-grandmother's maiden name was Hebert (pronounced A Bear). The picture below gives a clear indication of what the Cajun/French children had to deal with.
My grandfather spoke broken English all his life but he persevered, working long hours in the rice fields of Louisiana. He eventually broke tradition, learned English, and moved out of Louisiana in order to better himself. By the time I was born, my grandfather ran a furniture store and wore a suit and top hat to work every day He worked past his cultural disabilities to provide a good life for my grandmother, mother, and aunt. My mother said she never heard her father belabor his plight in life. He only showed his family his pride in succeeding.
This is not an unusual story. A lot of people flocked to America and went through the same kind of discrimination, violence, and persecution that my French forefathers endured. But that was then and this is now. These ancestors of different cultures, languages, and beliefs paved the way for our freedom. I'm sorry bad things happened to those refugees. But we live in the twenty-first century, and free to be all we want to be. I don't care what circumstances you are facing, our forefathers showed us that perseverance and a strong work ethic can bridge gaps to ensure a good life.
More importantly, we need to focus on what is real to all of us today.
Isn't this what we should be focusing on in 2016? I don't expect an apology from the British or from the English colonists about the deplorable treatment and persecution my family endured. What I want to remember is their survival, determination, and sheer willpower to persevere. Without that, I might not be here today writing these words. I am alive and free because of the perseverance of my ancestors, and I'm so proud.
Let's end the debate on whose life matters. It truly is not up for debate.
We are God's children: red and yellow, black and white, we are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.
Do you believe this?
You should. Jesus loves you, and He can't lie. Jesus also insists we love one another.
We are in this messy, dangerous world together. We need all races and cultures in this great land to put their energy on creating a better life for generations to come by focusing on what we have in common. Remember Jesus understands persecution and hatred. He was killed by people who should have opened their arms to Him. I'm sure His heart breaks over every death and killing that has happened in our great country.
I implore you to read Dr. Tony Evans book, "America: Turning A Nation To God". In it he states, "America is in serious trouble. From sea to shining sea we are witnessing the devolution of a nation. Regardless of which side of the political aisle you sit, it is clear that things are unraveling at warp speed. The United States is quickly becoming the divided states as signs of disunity and conflicts abound. From family breakdowns to the immigration crisis to the abiding racial divide to Congress' inability to function; it is clear we are a fraying nation. Add to this the continuing moral decay that is engulfing us, whether it is the redefinition of marriage and the family, abortions on demands, a media that continues to dumb down decency, or an educational system that increasingly seeks to impart information without ethics in the name of 'freedom'. We are as a nation sliding south fast. The American dream is quickly becoming the American nightmare as more and more citizens become disillusioned with the direction things seem to be going."
I am glad my Papa is dead and cannot see what has happened to America. I think his heart would break just like Jesus'.
We have to secure our land and return it to God in our worship, praise, and how we conduct our lives. There is nothing more immediate or urgent than our unity as a people.
What can you do today to help discord in your area? This is not a rhetorical question. It's an imperative one that needs to happen now.
One thing I know I can do to help unify is to talk more about Jesus. Even unbelievers know what He went through; and yet, through it all, He maintained integrity and love in all He did. Share the hard core reality of Jesus. Tell others what Jesus has done for you (Luke 8:39).
As Lysa Terkeurst said, "Our job is obedience. God's job is results."
Charles Spurgeon ended a sermon with this call, "Now, get at it all of you! You that are doing nothing for Jesus, be ashamed of yourselves and ask Him to work in you so that you may begin to work for Him."
God has given us the power of choice. Let's accept our responsibility to do something about it.
As you plan how you can help change things, keep your eyes upward. Pray continually for God's intervention and mercy on our nation and her people.
God bless you. God bless America.

Amazing family history! I was unaware of what "cajun" was all about! You should be proud of your heritage! We often overlook what had to happen in the past to get where we are now. And you are so right - your papa would be crushed to see America today.ReplyDelete
Loved your saying w Jesus ending the debate on lives that matter! Why are so many so blind not to see Him and His Love?
Sigh! My life only matters because of Jesus!

This year's Nukara Music Festival takes place over the weekend of 18-19th MARCH 2017.
Set in a unique outdoor bush setting on Nukara Farm in the scenic Chapman Valley near Geraldton, this boutique music festival has been successfully running and growing carefully for a decade now. NMF has had musicians from many parts of the globe grace its stages and some amazing smothering's of some great Australian acts, many from our own creative backyard of Western Australia!
It's a very casual event which camping is encouraged ($10 pp payable at gate), BYO Beverages, southern-style cook up from the 'Burnt Barrel' crew, around 8 hours of music (not counting the recovery breakfast) & good vibes!
This year's line-up for the Main Stage includes: Things Of Stone & Wood; Kallidad; The Swamp Stompers; The Tommyhawks; Carus Thompson and Lucy Peach. The more intimate 'Creek Stage' will have Songbird (Alexia Parenzee); Corey Legge (from The Swamp Stompers); Darcy Hay; Jack Hunter & Navana.
Earlybird tickets are available now from www.ticketbooth.com.au
'Australian Hip Soul Folk Live Loops' Fremantle's home-grown Prita Grealy has been busy touring Europe for the last 5 years and is back home for a short visit - don't miss her!
Once you experience Prita's exceptional live loop show, you'll be hooked by her soulful rhythmic songs and captivated by her stunning vocal performance. It's easy to see why 'European audiences are sitting up and taking notice of this captivating musician from Fremantle'. After supporting the likes of Simply Red, John Paul Young, and Ed Kowalczyk of the band 'Live'. Prita moved to Berlin to pursue her international touring dream, and has been busy touring Europe & the UK ever since.
Prita will be showcasing her 7th independent CD, 'Northern Lights' on her return to WA this January 2017. Her unique sound is 'Hip-So-Fo', which combines her love of Hip-Hop, Soul and Folk with the use of a live loop pedal to effortlessly layer funky urban harmonies, acoustic fingerpicking guitar and beat boxing.
Prita will be performing songs from the new CD at the Perth Blues Club on Tuesday 10th January 8.00pm - 9.00pm (with several bands to be announced soon).
Happy 87th Birthday to Blues Hall of Famer, Matt "Guitar" Murphy! Born in Sunflower, Mississippi and schooled in Memphis, he began his career at the age of 19, when he moved to Chicago and got a gig playing in Howlin' Wolf's band. Although he didn't release his own first album for another 34 years, he worked with artists that included Muddy Waters, Memphis Slim, James Cotton, Otis Rush, and, of course, the Blues Brothers. (Photo: Dan Nawrocki)
Part of the Perth Blues Club's charter is to mentor new and up-coming acts and provide performance opportunities at the club.
Over the past few weeks, we've been opening the doors a little earlier on Tuesdays and putting on an extra act at 7.35pm. This has proved to be a popular move so we will be continuing this initiative into 2017.
So now, the PBC offers even greater value for money with more than four hours of live entertainment and up to four different acts each and every week and all for an average of $15**.
Perth has produced an amazing list of highly talented and proficient musiciancs, and no more so than in Blues and Roots. So come on down to the club and experience a great night out.
** Entry fee for members is usually $10. International and some interstate acts will attract a higher entry fee.
The Perth Blues Club's annual Christmas Party is one of the most anticipated nights of the year when anything could (and does) happen.
Traditionally, local 'bluesicians' turn up and join the house band for one or two numbers and sometimes there can be a whole host of guitarists, all taking turns to out-shred each other.
Following the success of the pre-show session in the beer garden for the 25th anniversary, it's been decided to kick off the party a bit earlier than usual. The festivities will now start at 5pm in the beer garden of the Charles Hotel, then from 7.30pm in the band room.
So get down early and get in the festive mood for what promise's to be a great night.

Two cars became trapped in floodwaters in Auckland as the North Island lies under a threat of severe thunderstorms today.
Fire and Emergency northern shift communications manager Scott Osmond said firefighters had now rescued people from two cars that got trapped in floodwaters on Rosedale Rd and Caribbean Drive.
A cell over Auckland dumped heavy rain in the past hour, and the MetService is predicting thunder and lightning later for a big chunk of the island across the day.
It issued a top priority thunderstorm warning just after 9am for Auckland City, Rodney and Albany but says the cell has now died and has lifted the warning.
However, a widespread thunderstorm watch remains in place for much of the North Island.
Appar Singh was driving along North Shore's Caribbean Dr when he hit the floodwaters.
His car became submerged and stopped.
"I tried to turn it on but it wasn't turning on," he said.
Singh was worried about the rising water level and called Fire and Emergency NZ.
"My girlfriend was a bit scared but I tried to be brave," he said.
When Singh got out of the car the water was up to his waist.
The car was being towed when the Herald arrived.
"I don't know what will happen to it now," Singh said.
Police said some cars were up to the headlights in water when they arrived.
The water has all drained but the cars are stuck where they are and will likely be towed.
No one was injured.
North Shore resident Tamara Thompson said her trip from Hobsonville to Beachlands was interrupted by the flooding this morning.
She came across a huge pool of water on Upper Harbour Highway, then even deeper floodwaters on Carribean Drive.
"Carribean Drive was hugely flooded. No one could get past really - but some cars were still trying.
"There's a lot of traffic everywhere, queues backed up and people doing U-turns to avoid floodwater."
MetService said this morning's torrential downpour in Rosedale was the result of a slow-moving storm cell, and warned today's thunderstorms were likely to bring far higher rain in localised pockets than a fast-moving storm would.
Auckland Transport had to close a section of Caribbean Dr just before 10am between Barbados Dr and Upper Harbour Highway because of flooding.
The transport agency said the worst of the flooding had eased on the Upper Harbour Highway just after 10am and backlog was now cleared.
A large thunderstorm cell was detected near Auckland City and the North Shore at 9.22am, moving northwest.
The storms were expected to lie near Auckland up to North Harbour by 9.52am.
People are warned the severe thunderstorms were likely to deluge the region.
All regions from Northland to northern Manawatu across to the Tararua District are likely to be worst affected by torrential downpours and small hail.
The violent downpours could put areas under threat of flash flooding, slips and hazardous driving conditions.
Already flash flooding has hit Auckland's North Shore where people needed to be rescued from trapped in floodwaters. Serious flooding is also hitting eastern suburbs.
Osmond said firefighters had been called to help a motorist who was trapped in floodwaters on Carribean Dr in Unsworth Heights. Several houses had also been flooded after a sudden downpour on the North Shore in the past hour.
MetService says the combination of daytime heating, humidity and local wind convergence is expected to bring unstable conditions to much of the island today.
The country struggled for relief in the muggy weather overnight when temperatures remained uncomfortably high.
And although it's normal for nights to be warm in summer, MetService says average overnight temperatures are warmer than average.
Auckland has stayed warmer than 15C since January 1 as the average overnight temperature hitting 18.6C. Today's flash flooding and violent thunderstorm warning comes as the city experienced its highest dew point temperature of summer so far.
Niwa said the dew point, which is a measure of humidity, hit 22C, was because of the sub-tropical northerly air flow and warm seas. It's deemed uncomfortable when it goes higher than 18C.
Wellington too is fighting balmy conditions and average overnight lows of 16.1C, well above the usual 14.5C.
Even Christchurch has kept above 15C for the past six days, and an average minimum temperature about 2C above usual.

Three long-tailed tits arrived on the fatball feeder this morning - my first ever. Really pleased.

Nothing new to report here with numbers of starlings increasing slightly and the long tailed tits appeared for the second time today. There were 3 greenfinches on the sunflower hearts and I seem to have acquired several more blackbirds. Spring is obviously on the way as the three male pheasants are strutting their stuff and the females are only interested in the food (nothing changes!) I'm now putting out two large saucepans of seed, sunflower hearts and some sultanas on the ground each day - I'll have to get a job soon.

Bird life has changed through the seasons - no thrushes and sparrow numbers down considerably.
Collared doves and wood pigeons still here.
Large numbers of greenfinch, chaffinch, goldfinch and all bred really well.
All the tit numbers have increased and again all bred really well.
Not a pheasant seen in a couple of months (bit of a relief really!)
Starling numbers soared over breeding season, with possibly 60 - 70 in the garden at any one time.
4 young jackdaws appeared for a couple of weeks.
Great spotted woodie and green woodie have both been around on occasions.
Blackbird numbers up to around 8 (and still begging for currants)
Heron has appeared and has left equally quickly!!
Last, but not least, a buzzard soared over the house last week (probably nothing much to all you lucky people to whom they are regular visitors but it caused great excitement here!!)

Three months later and life in the garden is still as busy.
The first pheasant since the spring arrived yesterday so that is obviously the beginning of expensive times to come.
The sparrows must be around the 40 mark regularly now and are emptying every feeder they can with their happy chirruping.
Greenfinches still come each day but their numbers are down to around 5 or 6 still with some youngsters
Blue, Great and Coal tits are all still around each day, although I guess these are this year's youngsters
One robin has appeared during the past week
Just a pair of blackbirds at the moment
Several dunnocks who also bred well
A wren was flitting through the shrubs yesterday
Starling numbers vary, but mostly down to half a dozen
The collared dove numbers are around 10 - 12 each day, but no wood pigeons.
I haven't seen a thrush of any type in the garden since very early spring.
Both green woodie and great spotted woodie have been visiting on several occasions
The sparrowhawk (both male and female) has visited as has the heron who must be most disappointed to find a netted pond - he sits on top of a tree and just looks now!
I'm sure I've missed something but, as a finale, we had just a fleeting visit on the peanuts from a lesser spotted woodie so just watching and hoping this may become a regular.

Of course I missed something - the lovely goldies who are preferring the nyger seed at the moment to the sunflower hearts and usually number around 10 - 12, plus the chaffinches whose numbers have declined after a really good summer to about 3 or 4 a day.
My lone female pheasant is walking off down the garden as I write this and I'm just hoping she's not off to tell her friends that there's still loads of food left!

Well, Christmas has come and gone and it is a little on the quiet side (posssibly in the main due to lack of starlings!) in the garden. I took all my feeders and birdbaths down for the month of October as I had several poorly greenfinches but, since then, nothing like the quantity of birds have returned. I still have a reasonable flock (around 20) of sparrows that visit each day, along with a dozen or so collared doves, several big fat woodpigeons and one or two starlings. Three or four goldfinches make short visits in the mornings, along with several chaffinch and a few blue tits, but no greenfinches have returned, although in September they were in double figures.
The heavy snow damaged the sparrows' favourite feeder on the patio and I replaced it with a much larger and more splendid one - guess what, not a bird has fed from it - must be the rather loud blue colour !!
The pheasants have returned - four beautiful ringnecks, along with three females. They come for around 10 minutes in the morning and the same during the afternoon and then retire under the bushes.
Blackbird numbers have increased to around 8 with the females still as volatile and demanding their raisins but the song thrush has only appeared a couple of times.
The robin is a regular visitor as is the green woodie who stays and digs in the lawn for up to half an hour.
A grey wagtail appeared round the pond just before Christmas, as did the heron who decided to stay put despite frantic tappings on the lounge window! The dog was then sent to put him up, although, judging by the amount of fish that have bred in the pond during the year, I could have fed him for a month!!!
Today, just to sum up a really good year, the kingfisher sat on the post just looking in the pond for around 5 minutes.

As over the rest of the country, the weather here is awful and today the heavy snow is drifting in the strong winds. The birds are really struggling for food and fighting over every last bit. I have at least 10 blackbirds in the garden at the moment, one male with a broken leg who at least is being shown a bit of mercy by a couple of the more dominant females. We had around 8 fieldfares and a redwing under the feeders today, the first time we have seen either in the garden. I am feeding several times a day, in several places, but it all freezes so quickly and I'm sure the raisins must be like marbles by the time they're eaten! At least the robin and blue tits have discovered the small feeder attached to the kitchen window and are tucking in heartily.
On a warmer note, I have left the door to my old greenhouse open and when I went in there this morning a little dunnock was sitting on the shelf. I have now put a couple of bowls of seed in there and a few minutes ago a female blackbird was in there eating happily. Just hope they use it in the night to keep a bit dry and warm.
I've put out a tin of dog food and biscuits for the resident fox each evening but on the last two occasions he/she has taken off with the tupperware container as well so may have to eat off the snow tonight!

Life here is very busy at the moment with lots of comings and goings. A pair of robins are using the small feeders attached to the kitchen window before flying off down to next doors stable where they are building their regular nest. Several blue tits and great tits are visiting but Im still not sure whether either has used the box yet. A pair of long tailed tits paid a fleeting visit last week. The pheasants still arrive each day and we are often given a lovely mating display, the males going round in circles nearly laying on their sides in a bid to impress. Several wood pigeons and collared doves each day with the latter being more interested in mating than eating. A pair of magpies and a single crow make a short visit each day. The goldfinches and greenfinches are around most of the day and I am still refilling the nyger feeder each evening. Sparrow numbers are down to around 4 or 5 each day with about the same number of dunnocks and starlings. The heron makes his daily tour of the gardens and sits on the top of the fir tree, on a branch which looks only strong enough to hold a sparrow. (I have put a photo under the photo section). We found him in the pond the other morning, standing on top of the netting. Blackbirds numbering about half a dozen, still arguing, but sadly no signs of any thrushes. Finally, a pair of mallards have called in each evening for the past fortnight just a quick meal under the feeders and then back home (they havent tried our pond yet, thank goodness).
Just on the wildlife front, there have been signs of badgers at the bottom of the garden. Our large resident wild rabbit has been joined by a baby who jumps and skips his/her way through the day (oh, to be young) and our old dog fox seems to have disappeared only to be replaced by a very young and confident vixen who trots up the middle of the lawn early each evening and took a great fancy to the dogs bone.

On Saturday, NASA's Dawn spacecraft arrived at the 330 mile wide asteroid, Vesta. It's the first space probe to orbit a protoplanet in the asteroid belt.
Dawn will conduct a year-long study of Vesta where NASA hopes to gain an understanding of the origins and earliest conditions of the solar system. The research will also help determine why Vesta is the brightest asteroid in the solar system.
NASA chief, Charles Bolden said, "Dawn's study of the asteroid Vesta marks a major scientific accomplishment and also points the way to the future destinations where people will travel in the coming years. President Obama has directed NASA to send astronauts to an asteroid by 2025, and Dawn is gathering crucial data that will inform that mission."
Dawn will then visit the dwarf planet Ceres (arriving in 2015).
Here's an infographic detailing Dawn's mission:

I loved that first bath & body tray so much and I wanted to see if I could make different sizes and guess what - I CAN.
So far I have made the 6x6 and now here are photos of my 7x7 and my 8x8. Next I have to go down in size
The 7x7 tray I used Back Country B&T with Barn Red cardstock and the ribbon is outdoor denim twill. I was pleasantly surprised when I was taking the photos and realized that without even trying I matched up the stripes. That was without even trying. How cool is that?
These are so cool. They go together in about an hour to an hour and a half. They use one 12 x 12 CS, two 12 x 12 B&T (extra when you want all the stripes going in the same direction) and an empty cereal box or some other piece of chipboard for stability.
Someone suggested using the trays for putting favors in for a gathering. I think they would make a nice display. I'll let you know when I make any smaller sizes.
Thanks for tuning in.

Berwick's Terdiman Set For Second Olympics
Practicality or passion? Thatĺs the life-changing decision Jayson Terdiman faced in 2007. On one hand, he was a talented student who graduated from Berwick High School with distinguished honors and a scholarship offer to Penn State Hazleton. On the other, he was 18 years old and in the best shape of his life with the opportunity to train full-time with the USA Luge developmental team in Lake Placid, New York. ôOpportunities come once and if you donĺt answer the door when theyĺre knocking, sometimes, the opportunity doesnĺt repeat itself,ö said Terdimanĺs friend, Kev Seely. ôThereĺs a lot of Olympians out there just starting their life because they devoted their lives to the sport. ... ôIt was definitely a heavy decision to make, whether it was school or luge.ö Terdiman, admittedly Ś and foolishly, some would say Ś gave the choice little thought. He acted with his heart and turned a dream into reality, as, next week, he competes in his second Winter Olympics at the Games in Pyeongchang. ôIn my opinion, what heĺs done for this town shows that Ś you set a goal for yourself and you work hard, you can achieve that goal,ö said Mike Monico, a life resident and police officer in Berwick. ôSince he was a little kid, thatĺs all he wanted to do. He set a goal and he kept working at it and working at it and it shows. He never gave up on his dream.ö The genesis Terdiman was born an only child Dec. 21, 1988 to parents Jay and Kathryn Terdiman, the latter of whom was a former gymnast and cheerleader for Hanover Area. Jaysonĺs first love was basketball. Then, baseball dominated the spring, summer and fall. ôHeĺs a very good baseball player,ö Jay Terdiman said of his son. ôWhatever he would have devoted his time to, he would excel at. Heĺs just a natural athlete.ö As he grew into his current 5-foot-7, 155-pound frame, Terdiman dedicated himself to luge like no other sport. The Terdiman family was first introduced to it when Kathryn Terdiman saw a flyer advertising USA Lugeĺs Slider Search program in Syracuse, New York. Terdiman was 10 years old. ôHe asked me what luge was,ö Kathryn Terdiman recalled. ôI said, ĹWell, I donĺt even really know, but the kid on the flyer looks like heĺs having a blast.ĺö Terdiman attended the tryout, where coaches look for athletic ability and coachability on the sleds. ôIt was the most fun Iĺve ever had,ö Terdiman said. Within two years, he was on the developmental team for USA Luge. ôHe had that taste and he saw it and he had the blinders on,ö Seely said. ôHe knew what he wanted and heĺs going after it.ö Sacrifices It was seventh grade when luge became the driving force in Terdimanĺs sporting life. Terdiman and the Bulldogs basketball team made the playoffs, but he passed on that opportunity to attend a luge camp in Lake Placid. ôI think that really set the tone for the rest of my sporting career as a high school athlete,ö Terdiman said. ôI knew I wasnĺt going to dedicate myself to that; I was dedicating myself to this because I had more fun doing this. Iĺm really, really glad I made that decision.ö Competing at one of the highest levels of the sport came with difficulties, however. While he continued playing baseball and running cross county throughout high school, he had to give up basketball. Terdiman missed 96 days of school senior year, as well as Berwickĺs winter formal dance. Maybe, Terdiman wonders, he would have played football for the six-time state champion Bulldogs and legendary head coach George Curry. Terdiman trusted the process, however, remaining fully committed to luge through his first Olympic selection in 2014. ôI would never imagine in my wildest dreams that, when we moved to Berwick, Jayson would become an Olympian and fill the town with such pride,ö said Jay Terdiman, originally from Altoona. ôIt really unifies the town, I donĺt know how else to say it. Itĺs a point of pride for Berwick. ôJust like their football team is, heĺs a point of pride for Berwick.ö Hometown hero When he first made the developmental team, Terdiman needed money to cover coachesĺ fees and program dues. In stepped Berwick. ôBerwick hasnĺt just been behind me the last four years. Theyĺve been behind me for the last 18 years,ö Terdiman said. ôI remember my first year, sending out letters and asking for peopleĺs help. An outpour of support came in.ö While he now earns a stipend with the Olympic team, Terdiman, back in 2009-10, worked as many as three jobs in the summer to offset training costs. ôI never would have been able to get through those first development years without the support of Berwick and, especially, my parents,ö he said. To this day, Kathryn Terdiman organizes an annual bingo fundraiser. Tickets for this yearĺs March 3 event sold out in fewer than 24 hours. A melting pot of area clubs have pitched in with donations, while Chris Reinbold of Boltz Custom Paint Shop painted Terdimanĺs sled and helmets at a major discount. One of Berwickĺs top attractions is its Christmas Boulevard, which annually greets tens of thousands of visitors. Volunteers organize the milelong display of 300-400 trees that line the streets, where, this year, it was dedicated to Terdiman. ôWe highlight community pride,ö said Monico, who, in addition to being a sergeant on the police force, serves on the boulevard board that unanimously decided to honor Terdiman. The 40-year-old Seely Ś a cancer survivor and inspiration in his own right Ś said Terdiman is embraced by Northeastern Pennsylvania not only for his accomplishments, but also for the other lives heĺs impacted. Take for example Gavin Davis, 11, of Berwick, whoĺs followed in his footsteps on the USA Luge developmental team. ôHeĺs proof you can do anything in life,ö Seely said of Terdiman. ôHeĺs like an icon to these kids, a role model.ö Matched with Mortensen The 2014 Sochi Olympics were a learning experience for Terdiman. In the doubles luge, he and teammate Christian Niccum placed 11th of 19 teams. ôWe just never found that magic,ö Terdiman said of his time with Niccum, whoĺs now 40 and retired. The event places its competitors feet-first in sleds exceeding speeds of 90 mph, further complicated by the individualsĺ limited vision and need to sync up their reactions while finding the fastest lane downhill. Terdiman said training with a new partner presents a ôvery steepö learning curve. But that is not evidenced by Terdimanĺs results with 6-foot driver Matt Mortensen, 32, whose doubles luge team four years ago finished 14th in Sochi. ôIĺm the Scottie Pippen to his Michael Jordan,ö Terdiman said. ôI accept that role fully and I believe it is my job to put Matt on that podium, which in turn puts me on that podium.ö Terdiman and Mortensen earned three medals last year on the World Cup circuit, in which they finished third overall. Terdiman and Mortensen trailed only Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken (Germany) and Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt (Germany) Ś teams picked by Sports Illustrated to win gold and silver, respectively, in Pyeongchang. But before Terdiman and Mortensen compete Wednesday, theyĺll soak in the opening ceremony with many of the worldĺs greatest athletes. Having supported his son across an entire journey as a world-class athlete, Jay Terdiman said it was that event four years ago when the magnitude of his sonĺs success truly hit him. ôThe team walked in and we could see him walking in and he couldnĺt wipe the smile off his face,ö Jay Terdiman said. ôHe was as psyched as anyone could be. We knew he was fulfilling his dream and for a parent, it doesnĺt get any better than that.ö Contact the writer: firstname.lastname@example.com; 570-821-2060; @CVBufano on Twitter Jayson Terdiman and Matt Mortensen will compete in the doubles luge event in Pyeongchang between 6:20 and 8:25 a.m. EST Wednesday. They also stand a chance at competing in the team relay Feb. 15. NBC and its cable networks are broadcasting the events online and on television. For a complete schedule, visit nbcolympics.com.

BBC extends radiovision
By Julian Clover
The BBC has launched the second phase of its radio visualisation trial, adding webcam streams, images, now playing and artist information, news and sports feeds to popular BBC radio shows.
The trial will run until July 31 and will initially run on Simon Mayos BBC Radio 5 Live show, before being extended to other programmes including The Chris Moyles Show and Switch on BBC Radio 1, Material World on BBC Radio 4 and The Hub on BBC 6 Music.
Initially the content will be presented through a pop-up console before being extended, later in the trial, to a mobile phone application.
Listeners to Simon Mayos programme will be able to watch guests being interviewed and read comments from other listeners.
In response to the first phase of the trial, which took place in January, the new phase will also include on demand content including a weekly 45-minute compilation of the Mayo programme. The show already has a daily audio podcast featuring the guest of the day.
The corporation has siad it will share the results of the trial with the industry as a whole.

I'll let you know one thing - as a marketing consultant, charging greater charges could greatly reduce your earnings simply because fewer individuals will employ you -- Except you might have a formidable popularity or network.
Speaking about the Geography component, I could make an effort to take a look at Italy and Spain (The 2 markets I know)... and i have to confess that salaries you will find genuinely considerably from those appealing offers.
The "art" of Search engine marketing really should not be scoffed at. We work flat out - we ought to be perfectly paid out. I'm able to see folks while in the Search engine optimisation planet printing this publish out and marching for their bosses Business office as we communicate! And so they should...
Thanks for that prompt reaction. I guess I did not phrase my primary query the right way nevertheless... I generally realized what the main difference is among "inhouse" and "Search engine optimization agency", I assume I intended what duties are distinct amongst the two? You cleared that up a tiny bit and it does make sense. How would one go about obtaining an "inhouse" SEO position? Besides networking/understanding the best folks? Are there loads of companies actively looking for Search engine optimisation assist? I am merely a little bit caught in choosing what path I really should get. I'm Doing work at an SEO agency which I don't believe pays me adequate. I am debating regardless of whether to Give up and return to working on my own, using this web do the job expertise as enthusiasm for me to complete properly alone (because I don't want to obtain trapped in an Office environment producing pocket improve).
Egads. I just stumbled on to this because of the seem back again at the best 10 articles or blog posts with essentially the most guests. I at this time operate for a written content writer at a small-business World wide web portal business and was quite insulted After i was only presented a $1 elevate from my "internship" with them - bringing my shell out to about half of what The underside numbers are for written content writers seo guide melbourne on this weblog.
I can not talk to the company side of items but as for agency do the job I might say your numbers are in line.
The only real possibly I see in asking this kind of broad issue is this: 1st - For the people people who are lying about their actual earnings, you happen to be inviting hobbyist who definitely have no business while in the Search engine optimisation planet to affix the apply. 2nd - If you're very seriously publishing wikipedia reference that you make a lot less you can check here than 100K in SEO you should have no business working with genuine real business house owners. Follow agency do the job or affiliate marketing and advertising. third - If I see yet one more so called "Search engine optimisation Specialist" misuse Internet 2.
A lookup expert is really a exceptional breed - these people do the job for an Search engine marketing agency, top seo companies melbourne but are basically consultants in their particular legal rights. They have the talents, talent and often, name to control a campaign or shopper independently without outside advice (they may even be much more knowledgable than everyone else within the staff).
I was searching for something random and found this Rand, Some very good facts that may be obviously, but a hundred% agree matters transform depending on country.�
I am going to tell you anything - for a specialist, charging higher fees could considerably reduce your income because less people will retain the services of you -- Unless of course you have got a powerful reputation or network.

We can consider it ( or some act ) unethical, and cast around for court rulings to give form and authority to our indignation .
But that aside, it was constitutional, (e.g Supreme court siding with the U.S government in the case of German prisoners held by American Military in China , Johnson v. Eisentrager, and constitutional in the lower courts rulings that supported cases derived under the Military Commissions Act of 2006 , which was passed to answer constitution violation problems after the government lost in Rasul v. Bush ,
then unconstitutional, in the latest case I cited Boumediene v. Bush
But, I guess, Obamas Military Commissions Act of 2009 , so far , anyway answered the supreme courts problems we're back to constitutional.
So, no downrights

So my first weekend at college has come and gone already. How did this weekend flesh out? That is what you are here to find out, my friend, and I am about to tell you.
Friday night, after I read a good portion of "Laches" by Plato, I headed up to Jeff's place (since he was on duty as a Residence Assistant in the freshman dorms) with Karl to catch a movie. We popped in Van Wilder and were quite entertained. I thought for sure that the movie would probably suck because the last couple of National Lampoon's movies have been not so hot (Vegas Vacation anyone?). This movie wasn't constantly laugh-out-loud funny, but it had some great moments (and Tara Reid is also gorgeous). That was basically Friday.
Saturday was a somewhat busy day. I got up and did some lifting right away to wake myself up. I also did some of my computational theory homework, and then ran into St. Cloud with Jeff. He needed his suit dry-cleaned and I needed to get some random odds and ends for our apartment—namely, a garbage can, a desk lamp, and extension cords. After finishing all this I returned to the apartment to find Karl just rolling out of bed. I can't understand how people can sleep in so late, even if they are out very late the night before. I always feel like I'm just wasting the day away if I'm sleeping through it. However, I have always been a positive supporter of the nap movement, so I kind of contradict myself here, but anyways.
Saturday afternoon I was supposed to go to the soccer game as SJU but a better offer to play some sand volleyball was sent my way by J-Money. J, two other guys, and myself put in three games before we realized how much we couldn't stand the bugs. My legs were covered in bloody patches because since I was covered in sand I couldn't feel the bugs biting some of the time and they managed to suck their fair share of my red corpuscles, leaving a few on the skin of my legs. After taking a shower, I could see all of the lumps that formed on my legs. It looked as if I had some weird disease or a mutated case of the chicken pox. Oh, how I hate insects.
Later, as Karl returned from the soccer game (that I forgot to tell him that I wasn't going to) we set up the Dance Dance Revolution pads. Oh, what a wonderful invention. We played for an hour, hour and a half easily. At different points of playing we had people randomly coming in to watch as they could hear the music outside since we had it cranked up and flowing through the surround sound. Andy said there were actually some people that came to the door asking if we were having a party. Sorry, just me and Karl dancing. Anyone who hasn't tried this game definitely should.
The rest of the night was spent hanging out with friends and going on a chapel walk. My good friend Theresa is staying up this week before she goes for her study abroad so all of her close friends got together for a chapel walk. It was quite fun, even though we had to sludge through some treacherous terrain (namely, a 10 foot stretch of 6 inch deep water). I love just gazing up at the stars (which there weren't any of Sat. night) and looking out over the lake back at campus and the woods. It's always so peaceful and beautiful. We sat out there for a while, amazed at the beauty and reminiscing about the cartoons we watched as children.
Well, Sunday wasn't quite as eventful. I got up, ran, ate lunch, and tried to do some disc golf in the afternoon in St. Cloud, but we were cut short after five holes by a pack of killer, disease-infested, rabid mosquitoes. Again, I was thoroughly covered in lumps. By now I probably have five different strains of the West Nile virus in me, so if you don't see any new entries in the daily thought in the near future, I'm probably either comatose or dead. No worries.
The rest of the night consisted of finishing computational theory homework and watching Proof of Life with Burns and Karl. It was an ok movie, but it wasn't anything special. Russel Crowe put on a pretty good performance, as well as Meg Ryan, but the movie's plot was a little weak and had a few holes that could have used some patching. Anyhow, that was the finish of my first weekend back at college. Exciting? Boring? Action-packed? You be the judge.

Movie Monday: The Jungle Book
The split-screen trailer above demonstrates the differences between Disney's two Jungle Book releases. Both draw on Rudyard Kipling's India-based short stories about a boy named Mowgli who is raised in the jungle by benevolent animals.
The first Jungle Book, released in 1967, was the last cartoon movie supervised personally by Walt Disney. It features full-length musical numbers and anthropomorphized animals acting like humans.
The newer Jungle Book's animal characters still speak English, but they look real and behave more like animals. In fact, however, they are no less artificial than the animals hand-drawn on the thousands of cels that made up the original film.
What the current release represents is a giant leap in CGI (computer-generated imagery.) The movie's only real elements are the actor who plays "man-cub" Mowgli and the animals' speech voiced by great actors. Everything else, from the scenery to the action sequences, was created by hundreds of digital artists working in downtown Los Angeles. The result is even more impressive than that of the 2009 megahit, Avatar.
Jungle Book 2016
This movie is great. It feels real, it moves well, it has plenty of suspense and action and its satisfying conclusion involves coordinated action involving animals acting like animals and Mowgli using his "man tricks." The original stories have been tweaked a bit to appeal to changing cultural mores -- mostly natural preservation -- and that works too.
I saw the movie in a regular theater and found it very satisfying. Others recommend seeing it in 3-D, and it might be even more compelling in the imax format.
Kids will love it. Grownups will too. Just go.
Disney Marketing
I have talked before about Disney's marketing skills, and of course the Jungle Book release has been coordinated with theme park attractions and licenses for retail products.
But the company's more remarkable strategy may be an older one, the careful maintenance of the content it produces. More on that tomorrow.

423. Acanthopneuste plumbeitarsus.
Middendorff's Willow-Warbler.
Phylloscopus plumbeitarsus, Swinh. Ibis, 1861, p. 330; Hume &; Dav. S. F. vi, p. 355 ; Brooks, S. F. vii, p. 508 ; Hume, Cat. no. 558 bis; Brooks, S. F. viii, p. 385; Bingham, S. F. ix, p. 187 ; Seebohm, Cat. B. M. v, p. 45; Oates, 8. F. x, p. 222; id. B. B. i, p. 79. Phylloscopus seebohmi, Hume, S. F. v, p. 335 (1877); Hume & Dav. S. F. vi, p. 356; Hume, Cat. no. 558 ter. Phylloscopus viridanus, Blyth, apud Hume & Dav. S. F. vi, p. 356 ; Hume, S. F. xi, p. 219.
Coloration. So similar to P. viridanus, of which this is the eastern form, as to require no separate description. P. plumbeitarsus differs in having the median wing-coverts, as well as the greater coverts, tipped with yellowish white, thus having two wing-bars. When the upper bar is abraded, it is difficult to separate the two species.
Upper mandible brown, lower clear yellow ; iris brown; mouth yellow ; legs pale plumbeous-brown, the toes tinged with yellow ; claws pale horn-colour.
Of the same dimensions as A. viridanus.
The Phylloscopus seebohmi of Hume would now appear to have been this species in spring plumage, and not A. viridanus, which does not occur in Burma.
Distribution. A common winter migrant to Southern Pegu, and the northern portion of Tenasserim down to Mergui, from the middle of September to the end of April. It appears to summer in Turkestan and southern Siberia.

DVD2SVCD works perfect, but this movie gives me problems:
Have you converted several movies without any problems.
You have you read the FAQ.
But this movie seems to be the exception for your perfect score.
Please include following data in your reply:
DVD2SVCD version:
system: (PAL/NTSC)
Interlaced or not:
What is the Problem:
Why you think is doesn't work:
If you solved it how.....:
So we create list of "tricky" DVD conversions. (or even impossible, at the moment ...)
version 1.0.3 build 2
Prinses Mononoke NTSC region 1 not interlaced, smartripper 2.36
English audio complete out of sync.... also pieces
of the japanese intro in the movie....
I used the normal rip movie.
I fixed it using smartripper by skipping 3 cells in the
first chapter. (trhowing away the intro credits...)

shouldn't this be in the decrypting section?
but on a more sympathetic note, I think this is a good idea to make a list of the difficult ones (x-men was notorious when it came out) and workarounds for them. Mind you, the software just gets better and better so the demand should (hopefully) be dwindling

No, not the "shouldn't this be in the decrypting section? "
Another movie "manhunter" pal reg2 has problems with subs.....
We have a product "dvd2svcd" nearly perfect ........
Some strange movies have problems with "our" product.....
why not share those exceptions with "our" product ?

re: Mononoke. Not necessarily a problem disc.
Initially, I, too, had problems with this disc.
See this thread:
In the end.......no problem using SmartRipper 2.39. The entire movie was backed-up without difficulty, no async problems.

Swordfish, Region 4 PAL - first VOB seems to be empty on ripping. When I play the second VOB in power DVD i get the start of the movie. After encoding in DVD2SVCD the audio is so far out I don't know what's happening..
Ripped with internal routines and SmartRipper
Species, Region 4 PAL - is 16:9 encoded on DVD, yet after encoding with DVD2SVCD (and making sure I chose 16:9 as the option on the encode tab) I get a 4:3 "stretched" image.
Ripped with both internal routines and SmartRipper
ABIT NF7-S, Athlon 2500+@2100

to want my bike left unlocked in a locked shed?(30 Posts)
I think I'm IANBU but DH doesn't agree. We live in a mid-terrace with a small enclosed back garden which abut another row of terraces along the back with enclosed gardens. The only way to get into our garden is to go through our house or climb into our neighbours gardens and then climb the tall fences on all 3 sides. We have a shed in our garden where we keep our bikes, the shed has a lock. The shed is only 2 years old so it's very robust.
DH and I have an ongoing feud about whether our bikes need to also be locked with a U-lock when they're in the shed, behind a locked door. I say no and don't lock my bike up in the shed, mostly because it's just one more faff in the morning to get the damn thing out and through the house when I'm in a rush. DH locks his bike to the shelving in the shed and usually locks DS's bike too. Fine with me, his bike, his rules and DS doesn't use his daily.
This morning, I come out to find my bike locked up separately which DH said was because that was what 'normal' people would do in order for it not to get stolen. He mistakenly gave me the wrong key to open the lock (he has a thing for locks, we've got dozens) and had a paddy when I came back in to tell him it didn't fit as he insisted he gave me the correct key. He was slightly chastened when he went out and discovered that no, I'm not a complete moron and can tell when a key most certainly doesn't fit. He apologised for the paddy.
I've told him many times not to lock up my bike as 1) it delays me and stresses me out in the mornings before work 2) it IS locked already and 3) Anyone who is so desperate to climb over 2 tall fences with 6 houses overlooking, break into our shed and then carry the 7 year old granny bikes back over the 2 tall fences are welcome to them.
Tell me that I'm not BU, would you lock your bike in this situation?
I would probably lock it if it would be a serous hardship to replace if it was stolen. So it depends on how expensive it is and whether you'd claim on home insurance etc.
I probably wouldn't have a bike that expensive though.
DH is pretty careful about things like this and hasn't locked his inside the shed. It was £350.
Our expensive bikes are locked up in our locked garage as it's an insurance condition.
Our commuting bikes are not. I think the limit for bikes needing to be itemised and locked vs just in the garage was £200.
Oh bugger, he says it is. Sorry. He also says sheds are easy to break into.
Yes I'd lock my bike in this situation. We have big, robust metal bike lockers and I had my bike inside a locked one of those. It was stolen. I now ensure the bikes are locked up inside whatever they're locked in because it'll slow thieves down enough that they might not bother.
People steal all sorts of things you would be surprised by. I'm sure someone would carry your 7 year old granny bike over 2 fences if they felt so inclined. Make it as difficult as possible for them.
It's your choice but we live in the same situation and ours are locked into the locked shed. But if the time saved in the morning balances against the inconvenience of replacing them it's up to you.
I would not keep a bike that I didn't want stolen in a shed, locked or otherwise, so the question is can you self insure the risk of not having the bike in the morning, and the cost of replacement. If you can justify it, then locking is not necessary, if you can't, then the precaution is wise.
From your description, your bike is unlikely to be stolen and if it wouldn't be a disaster to replace a '7 year old granny bike' in the unlikely event it was stolen, I probably wouldn't bother locking it, other than in the shed.
My mountain bike was stolen and it was locked up with a big fuck off lock and chain in a locked shed, but it was a ££££ full susser with night riding lights on it that were worth more than the average granny bike.
If DP hadn't been out on his bike with his mate, they would have had his too. We suspect I was followed home with the bike on the bike rack and targetted - power tools were used to break into the outhouse and cut the chain. Insurance paid out quickly though.
Is it insured?
I probably wouldn't lock it.
I don't lock my expensive mower - it's in a locked shed in my secure garden. It's covered by my insurance
Thanks for your replies, I possibly ABU. My bike is probably worth very little now and I accept the risk that it might not be there in the morning for the convenience of having it ready to go when I need it. It isn't even worth the excess on our insurance I bet so there would be no point in claiming for it anyway. Its worth is in my speedy commute to work (20 min) and getting a bit of fitness at the same time but there is also a direct bus. For me to have it locked in the shed is just another barrier to cycling and I would end up choosing the bus more often because I can't cope with faffy-stressy mornings.
Quite a few of my neighbours have metal lock boxes in their front gardens for their bikes, which I would prefer, but I realise that the risk of those getting broken into is much higher and agree with DH that it would be tempting fate. (even though it would be sooooooooooooo much easier and we wouldn't have to wend our way through our teeny tiny house banging into walls every time we took the bikes in or out)
If there was a way to have it locked inside the shed without having to contort myself past all the garden tools and search around in the dark for the bloody keyhole then I would probably do it. Any tips to make it easier?
When we had a stone garage separate to the house we sank a big ring into the floor and had bikes chained up with motorbike chains! Now we have a cellar garage under the house we dont chain them. PPs are correct - people will nick anything and a shed is barely any protection. I know girls that have been followed and knocked off their bikes to have them stolen. Robbers breaking into houses to get the keys for the sheds and garages while the owners slept upstairs or watched TV. Bike thieves are pretty motivated unfortunately.
We've had our bikes stolen from the shed twice and 2 more known attempts failed. We now lock inside the shed, despite high fences and multiple pad locks on the door. When we replace the shed we are getting one with extra security features and some kind of stand to chain the bikes to.
It wouldn't even occur to me to lock my bike inside my shed or garage! Tell him to leave your bike alone. If he locks yours up again, get all the locks you can and lock his up
If there was a way to have it locked inside the shed without having to contort myself past all the garden tools and search around in the dark for the bloody keyhole then I would probably do it. Any tips to make it easier
Tidier shed and better lighting? If the bike is used every day, it shouldn't be buried behind gardening tools that are used much less often. Bigger shed?
But if a lot of your neighbours have front garden bike boxes and the bikes don't get stolen, perhaps the risk is relatively low? If the front garden boxes are visible from the street, thieves might not bother because they don't want to get seen. They steal things from the sides and backs of houses because they can fiddle about with doors and locks without being seen.
If you got a front garden box, had a lock inside it, it would be much easier. I couldn't be doing with dragging a bike through the house twice a day.
I keep my bike in the locked garage. The bike is not locked.
It's up to you if you find it easier not to lock it. If it's not an expensive bike and it's not an insurance condition to lock it, then why bother?
A determined thief will steal a bike if they've managed to get into a locked shed.
YANBU I'm in a similar situation, mid-terrace house with bikes in a shed in the back garden. We don't lock ours within the shed. As I understand it, our insurance would pay out if a bike was stolen as long as the shed itself was locked.
My theory is that step-through 'ladies' frame bikes are less likely to get stolen because they are not appealing to the teenage boys most likely to steal them.
Your DH is BU for ignoring your clearly expressed wishes. It's your bike, so it's your call.
A combination lock so you don't have to fuss with getting the right key and finding the keyhole?
Perhaps you should padlock everything else in the shed, see how annoying he finds it when he wants to use the lawnmower etc and has to faff about looking for correct key - will he feel as security conscious about everything else?
YABU - my bike was stolen from our locked shed, when it wasn't locked up inside the shed. Similar set up (terraced houses though with access at back), and the thieves had gone down the street kicking in shed doors until they found something to steal. If it had been locked it would have slowed them down a bit/ encouraged them to try another shed with an easier target.
It honestly would not occur to me to lock up my bike in my locked shed. My bike is not expensive but our garden would be much easier to access than yours.
I mean... how much longer does it actually take to unlock it in the morning? If you put the key on the shed keyring, you've even already got the key in your hands... Doesn't seem worth arguing over, really, and it IS safer to lock it up (plus it could be a condition of your insurance).
Just a quick "cautionary tale" DH's bike was in our locked shed, which could only be accessed by climbing over 2 six foot walls, through other peoples gardens (we are surrounded by gardens, so the only way in is though another garden and over 2 walls)
He no longer has a bike. Our bikes now go in the more secure garage which is alarmed with the house or D locked in the shed.
I have similar set up to you. Bikes in garage which is always locked on the side that faces the street and (usually) locked on the door that faces the garden. Lived in the house for 15 years and never occurred to me to lock the bikes when they are behind locked doors. Never had one get nicked.
(Have probably tempted fate by posting this.)
Your bike your choice unless you expect your DH to be responsible financially in the very unlikely event it is stolen.
Nice one @Palace2 I would do that but I'm the chief gardener and DIYer in our house. Maybe I'll lock up his Playstation controls inside a locked cupboard and see how he likes it .
@BarbaraofSeville, this is already shed 2.0 which is bigger and has a frosted plexi window for light. You should have seen the old one, it came with the house.... 20 yrs ago! I keep it as tidy as possible for unobstructed bike access but it's still a rather tight fit.
@peachgreen, you're right it doesn't necessarily add on too much time but my motivation to cycle can be killed pretty easily.
I'll concede that a locked bike inside a locked shed is safer and with that in mind will give DH the green light to lock up my bike when we go on holiday. I'm still going to risk it during the week though.

Sexual health workers from the local Primary Care Trust (PCT) were in the Cornmill this lunchtime raising awareness about Chlamydia.
Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). It often has no symptoms and can cause infertility in both men and women if left untreated. Chlamydia can be detected with a simple urine test and is easily treated with antibiotics.
In my role as Cabinet Member for Health and Leisure, I was delighted to go along and support the campaign. PCT staff are obviously doing a great job, and they told me that a number of young people they'd spoken to that day were going to get themselves tested after chatting to them. As a part-time taxi driver, sorry, transporter of my 16-year old son, I became aware of the campaign through being made to listen to Galaxy FM morning, noon and night.
I had a nagging doubt that a picture of me next to a big poster asking "Have I got it?" may come back to haunt me. Still it makes a change from being endlessly snapped next to road machinery...

When your BMW 3.0Si was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values German engineering in their automobile. Anyone who operates a BMW knows that when it comes to repairing their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do. BMW automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of sporty handling when driving their 3.0Si around town. While it's not hard to locate replacement parts for BMW vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck.
Your BMW 3.0Si has a liquid-cooled engine, and at the heart of that engine is the water pump. It rotates in-sync with the crankshaft via a belt that connects pulleys on each part. Along with the thermostat, coolant hoses, and radiator core, your BMW 3.0Si water pump reliably injects and spreads the water and ethylene glycol mixture through the engine; keeping it operating at a manageable, pre-determined temperature. If it fails, then the coolant temperature will soar and your engine block or cylinder head will crack.
Bring your 3.0Si back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy.
