Do it yourself, also known as DIY, is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals. Academic research describes DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage raw and semi-raw materials and component parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g. landscaping)". DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness)
The term "do-it-yourself" has been associated with consumers since at least 1912 primarily in the domain of home improvement and maintenance activities. The phrase "do it yourself" had come into common usage (in standard English) by the 1950s, in reference to the emergence of a trend of people undertaking home improvement and various other small craft and construction projects as both a creative-recreational and cost-saving activity.
Subsequently, the term DIY has taken on a broader meaning that covers a wide range of skill sets. DIY is associated with the international alternative rock, punk rock, and indie rock music scenes; indymedia networks, pirate radio stations, and the zine community. In this context, DIY is related to the Arts and Crafts movement, in that it offers an alternative to modern consumer culture's emphasis on relying on others to satisfy needs. The abbreviation DIY is also widely used in the military as a way to teach commanders or other types of units to take responsibility, so that they'd be able to do things themselves just as a preparation for their own future.

Health – Articles about Healthy Foods, Exercises, and more
Health is the level of functional and metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental, psychological and social changes with environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value, the ambiguity in developing cohesive health strategies, and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete". Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction. Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health.
Important to establish to types of health; physical and mental health. Mental health refers to a persons psychological well-being and how they feel. Physical health has many different components such as physical activity, nutrition and diet and sleep/rest. Physical health can have a major impact on mental health and vice versa. Read More

Survival – Survival Skills and more.
Survival skills are techniques that a person may use in order to sustain life in any type of natural environment. These techniques are meant to provide basic necessities for human life which include water, food, and shelter. The skills also support proper knowledge and interactions with animals and plants to promote the sustaining of life over a period of time. Survival skills are often associated with the need to survive in a disaster situation. Survival skills are often basic ideas and abilities that ancients invented and used themselves for thousands of years. Outdoor activities such as hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, fishing, and hunting all require basic wilderness survival skills, especially in handling emergency situations. Bushcraft and primitive living are most often self-implemented, but require many of the same skills. Read More

Ons Volk, Ons Land – BoerNation History.
The History of the Boervolk from 1752 to 1994. South Africa. Some articles are in Afrikaans and some in English. We are trying to keep this site in Afrikaans for the Boer people of South Africa.
Hierdie webblad is geïnspireer deur die feit dat baie lede van ons Boervolk net aanvaar dat die mense ons geskiedenis verdraai, verkrag, en verkeerd interpreteer, word blindelings aanvaar. Die geskiedenis word van die vroegste tye af gemeng met die "Big Bang" en Evolusie teorieë. Daarom glo die mense allerhande verdraaide en verkrampe nonsens.
Ek sal vir u uitwys dat daar nie miljoene jare is of was nie. Daar word o.a. gepraat van "tye" en "tydperke", wat na 'n lang studie getoon het dat hierdie konsep en benadering deur die Evolusioniste en Nuwe Era Bewegings [ook ander organisasies soos die Eliminati, van die Christelike kerke, gelowe en ander], begin en gebruik word om al hulle verdraaisels te verkondig en te staaf. As hulle nie die tyd en tydperke gebruik nie val al hulle teorieë plat. Die ergste van alles is, hulle het die Kosbare Woord van God by al hierdie gemors ingesleep, en sal vir jou enigiets opdis oor die sogenaamde "waarheid" wat hulle verkondig en propageer. Alhoewel baie van die dinge wat hulle propageer tog waar is, is daar 'n 1 persent wat onwaar is, dit is hierdie een persent wat jou kan maak of breek. Onthou een korreltjie suurdeeg versuur die hele brood of deeg.
Mense ons het weggedwaal van ons Almagtige Skepper, dit het tyd geword om terug te keer na Hom. Die mensdom se bestaan is vanaf Adam tot nou toe en dit is plus minus 6000 jaar. Hierdie getalle word baie duidelik in die Woord van God deurgegee. Lees Verder

The media mogul, making a rare speech in London, said if children in the poorest parts of the world were able to learn to read and write against terrible odds then there was "no excuse" for the failings of British children.
In the inaugural Margaret Thatcher lecture he paid tribute to the former prime minister and recounted her insistence that children should be allowed to grow "taller than others if they have it in them to do so."
He said: "If children in the poorest parts of the world can learn how to read and write – as well as do maths and science in schools with dirt floors and tattered textbooks – there is no excuse for the way British children are being failed by well-resourced schools.
"We must not stifle the growth of the brightest."
Mr Murdoch's company plans invest in academies in London to try and tackle the problem of inadequate teaching.
He said: "British parents have a right to demand that the government adopts policies that ensure sure their children have the same opportunities – and the tools they need to compete.
"What are these tools? They begin with a sound education. In the last decades, I'm afraid, most of the English-speaking world has spent more on education with worse and worse results.
"Business leaders across this country tell me that large numbers of people who apply to their firms lack the fundamental skills necessary to progress in the workplace.
"We must move from a system that tries to make up for deficiencies to one that really teaches. That is why so many of my company's donations are devoted to the cause of education – including the adoption of new academies here in London."
In his speech Mr Murdoch repeatedly focused on the economic, social and political philosophy that drove Lady Thatcher and helped transform Britain. He said she was able to show that "ambitions of the working class" could only flourish if the constraints on them were removed.
He said: "Margaret Thatcher loomed above all her rivals for another reason: She knew from her own upbringing that talent was not limited to class."
He added: "It wasn't a matter of furnishing the underprivileged with privilege, but of providing them with opportunity."
Mr Murdoch, who is chairman and chief executive of News Corp, praised David Cameron saying he was "encouraged" by the Prime Minister's response to dealing with the "daunting deficit" that he inherited.

Want to Setup Window 7 Virtual Wifi with web filtering and speed limit
Has anyone know how to setup this, I want to setup this to people that have access to my virtual wifi will have bandwidth limit in order not have all my internet bandwidth consumes and cannot have access to certain website (eg like youtube, facebook ,my ADSL modem web configure page).
|My System Specs
|09 Apr 2011
USe Opendns with a custom firmware router e.g dd-wrt.
|My System Specs
|09 Apr 2011
dd-wrt seem to let the website (that are in black list of my dd-wrt (facebook.com)) pass through when the website visited is in https instead of blocking it.
i did want a software that can communicate directly to the Microsoft virtual wifi miniport adapter not through bridge like vmware (pfsense virtual router).
Pfsense is a virtual router enable your computer to act as router.
pfSense Open Source Firewall Distribution - Home
pfsense inside vmware work properly with my computer Realtek LAN port by bridging, people plug in LAN cable into my LAN port on my computer can get local ip address and then online instantly through my vmare based virtual router with webfiltering and bandwidth limit. But when people connect to my Windows 7 Hosted Wifi, they can get local ip address from the vmware based virtual router, all setting on virtual router and the computer is correct but cannot online, but when they configure to connect to the internet through my pfsense proxy, they can get online.
i want people who connect to my windows 7 virtual wifi dont need to change any proxy setting on their computer but they get their bandwidth control and cannot access to certain website.
|My System Specs

opendns is the best solution in this case, pfsense is a bit complicated. You will have to run your pc 24hours.
On the other hand Opendns offer excellent filtering and your dd-wrt replace your pfsense pc.

my pfsense router is in vmware (virtual). when pfsense bridged to my lan port on my computer it work normally, people who connect to my lan port can access internet immediately but not when i bridged my pfsense with my virtual wifi adapter, people when ip but got no access to the internet. Tried dd-wrt with opendns no changed.

Connect to your dd-wrt directly without the pfsense.
Also look at your gateway setting in pfsense.

Monte dei Paschi issues 4-bln-euro state-guaranteed bond
MILAN, March 15 (Reuters) - Troubled Italian bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena said on Wednesday it had issued a new bond guaranteed by the state for 4 billion euros ($4.3 billion), as it works to rebuild its liquidity after a deposit flight late last year.
The bond matures on March 15, 2020, and pays a 0.75 percent coupon, compared with a 0.43 percent yield on a government bond with the same maturity.
The bank said it would keep the bond for the time being and would sell it on the market later, or use it as collateral in refinancing operations.
Monte dei Paschi first tapped the state guarantee Italy introduced in December to support liquidity at struggling lenders in January, issuing two bonds for a total of 7 billion euros.

Roy Jones Jr. ready to hang up his gloves — after one more fight
When all-time boxing great Roy Jones Jr. was in his prime and the dominant No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world he did things in the ring that were almost supernatural.
His speed and reflexes were supreme, his power was concussive and he made moves that made people scratch their heads wondering if they had really seen what they had just seen.
At one point it was so hard for Jones to find a serious challenge that he had to challenge himself. So one time, about seven hours before defending his super middleweight world title against Eric Lucas in 1996, Jones played point guard in the Jacksonville Barracudas' victory in a United States Basketball League game. Then he knocked out Lucas in the 11th round of a one-sided fight.
That Jones is long gone, but those who saw him at his best surely won't forget it. But now, just a few weeks after turning 49 on Jan. 16, he is finally ready to hang up his gloves, years past his best days.
Jones will step into the ring for his 75th fight, which he says will be his final bout, when he faces journeyman Scott Sigmon (30-11-1, 16 KOs), 30, of Lynchburg, Virginia, in a scheduled 10-round cruiserweight bout Thursday night at the Pensacola Bay Center — the same venue where he turned pro in 1989 — in his hometown of Pensacola, Florida.
Jones (65-9, 47 KOs) is promising a knockout to end his career in style in front of the fans who have been with him from Day 1.
"I'm gonna figure out a way to get him out of there," Jones said this week.
The fight will headline a card that will include three boxing matches and two MMA fights. The full card will stream live beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET on UFC's Fight Pass, which is offering a seven-day free trial. Jones-Sigmon is expected to begin at about 10:15 p.m. ET.
There are many who have called for Jones to retire for years but he elected to continue to box for more than a decade past his best days. But even Jones realized he couldn't fight forever.
"There are things I wanted to accomplish that I knew were no longer within my reach. I love boxing. Even out of my prime I love boxing like I did when I was champ. But you can't go on forever no matter how much you love it. It's time. I'm ready to say goodbye."
Roy Jones Jr.
"After looking at the landscape, there's nothing big for me to fight for; nothing worth the time; nothing where I can make more history or an exceptional amount of money," Jones said. "So why keep doing it for the risk you're taking? The reward ain't worth it.
"There are things I wanted to accomplish that I knew were no longer within my reach. I love boxing. Even out of my prime I love boxing like I did when I was champ. But you can't go on forever no matter how much you love it. It's time. I'm ready to say goodbye."
As an amateur, Jones was outright robbed of a gold medal and settled for silver at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The judges were later found to have been corrupt.
"We wuz robbed" is an old boxing expression. But not until the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul did people fully understood its meaning.
During his 29-year professional career, Jones became an all-time great. He won world titles in four weight classes — middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight — and became the first former middleweight world champion to win a heavyweight world title in more than 100 years when he rolled past John Ruiz in a lopsided decision victory to take a belt in 2003 in a fight that was the apex of his career.
From there it was mainly downhill. After barely escaping with a decision against Antonio Tarver when he returned to light heavyweight, Jones lost three fights in a row, a knockout to Tarver in the rematch, a brutal knockout to Glen Johnson and a lopsided decision to Tarver in their rubber match.
Jones' last big win came in 2008, when he outpointed the smaller Felix Trinidad, who had come out of retirement to fight Jones. Then Jones had his last truly meaningful fight later in 2008, when he challenged Joe Calzaghe for the lineal light heavyweight world title. Although Jones knocked Calzaghe down in the first round he lost a lopsided decision.
"The great thing today is it don't matter what anyone says or what anyone writes (because) you can type 'sickest boxing highlights' into YouTube or Google and you see Roy Jones Jr. doing this thing. Nobody can change your mind after you see that. That is pound-for-pound! I did what I did — it happened — it is a fact."
Roy Jones Jr.
Jones went on to win several more fights against no-name opponents and also suffered some rough knockout losses, such as to Denis Lebedev and Enzo Maccarinelli. But Jones has won three fights in a row and has returned home to say goodbye.
"It feels different," Jones said. "I'm emotional even thinking about how I'm going to feel on the day. I'm almost tearing up talking. I'm worried about how I am going to feel all day of the fight. I may be crying all day, but once I am in the ring I'll have to put those tears away because there's gonna be a guy in the other corner looking to beat me. Scott Sigmon won't care about those tears. He cares about getting the win. That's the reality.
"I turned professional in May 1989 in this same arena, but I've been doing this since 1979. In 39 years there's not been a single day where I didn't put on glove, skip, watch tape or spend time thinking about boxing. Boxing has been my life and it is my life. I've enjoyed every moment of it. So much of it is still fresh [in my mind]. Not one thing, but so much jumps out when I look back — representing my country at the Olympics in 1988, becoming a world champion for the first time, becoming the No.1 pound-for-pound versus James Toney, winning the world heavyweight title. Like it was all yesterday."
Jones defeated a who's who of his time, including Bernard Hopkins to win a middleweight title, Toney to win a super middleweight belt, Vinny Pazienza, Mike McCallum, Montell Griffin, Virgil Hill, Lou Del Valle, Reggie Johnson, Eric Harding, Ruiz, Tarver and Trinidad.
From the time he defeated Toney in 1994 until Tarver knocked him out in their rematch in 2004 most viewed Jones as No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
Jones' views the wins over Hopkins, Toney, Griffin and Ruiz as his biggest and reflected on each:
"It was a good fight for my first world title [in 1993]," Jones said of his first fight with Hopkins, who he lost a decision to in a forgettable 2010 rematch. "The thing about that [first] fight was I just wanted to make sure I stayed smart and I stayed focused because one of the first goals in my life was to turn professional and become a world champion. I felt a lot of pressure on my back because this was what I'd worked so hard to do for all those years. I fought the fight with one hand due to injury, but I did what I needed to become world champion."
"I was already a [middleweight] world champion, but he was the boss. James Toney was 'the man' at that time," Jones said. "They were calling him the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, and to be the man you have to beat the man. I couldn't just get a win, I had to dominate him and show the world that not only was he not the best pound-for-pound, but there was no one else close to Roy Jones Jr. And that's what happened. I annihilated the man, dominated him. That was my coming-out party. I showed all my weapons in that fight. I showed everyone, no, hey, this is what the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world really looks like."
Jones lost his light heavyweight belt and suffered his first defeat to Griffin in a controversial ninth-round disqualification for hitting him when he was down in 1997. Jones destroyed him in the first round of the rematch five months later.
"Losing my undefeated record the way I did was really bad for me," Jones said. "Ya know, even though everybody who ever saw that thought it was wrong, my undefeated record was still gone. Done. They took my 'and 0' away and there was no getting it back. So the second fight came and I made sure to prove who was the better fighter."
Of the Ruiz fight, Jones said, "I wanted to be a world champion my whole life but I never once thought of the heavyweight title until it presented itself. This was something that God gave me, way and above more than I ever asked for or expected. It was the chance to make history, to do something nobody would dream of me doing. This was history — the first fighter to jump from middleweight to win the heavyweight title in over 100 years [since Bob Fitzsimmons had 106 years earlier]. John Ruiz had no clue what he was dealing with or what he was facing. He found out the hard way."
Like all fighters — all people — age caught up with Jones, though he has accepted its ravages.
"I'm not sad to get older, we all get old. I had a great prime," Jones said. "I was good in my prime, ya know? I wasn't surprised that I was getting old, and that my abilities were getting more limited. Everybody knows everybody gets old, but I think some guys really don't think their body will get old. I accepted it. People told me to retire but I knew what I could do and I've never let anyone tell me what to do."
While there is now a generation of boxing fans who don't remember when Jones was the king, he believes history will be kind to him.
"The great thing today is it don't matter what anyone says or what anyone writes [because] you can type 'sickest boxing highlights' into YouTube or Google and you see Roy Jones Jr. doing this thing. Nobody can change your mind after you see that. That is pound-for-pound. I did what I did — it happened — it is a fact.
"Nobody else comes close. You can watch me side-by-side with anyone and it's not close. Floyd Mayweather was TBE [the best ever] at making money, but look at his highlights and look at mine. You can't pretend it's the same. You can't pretend there's ever been anyone comes close to doing what I did. Nobody you could name could touch me, and I'm talking about nobody who's around now, nobody who was around in my prime, and nobody who was around any time you can mention. In my prime, I was the ruler. Simple as that.
"I understand there's a lot of great fighters who've followed me already since I was the champ and I hope there's another who comes along [and] does even better because I want to see that. But I haven't seen anyone do what I did yet. I haven't seen anyone turn pro at 154 pounds and win the heavyweight championship of the world."
After thousands of rounds in the gym and in his fights, the countless miles of road work and decades of fighting, Jones said he is ready to move on with his life, which includes work as an HBO boxing commentator, promoter and trainer of young fighters.
"I'm at peace," Jones said. "I'm cool with it. I did this professionally for 29 years. That's a long time. I've had a great time."

While I understand why some people are doubtful about spending a whole day of their vacation in Mexico in a park, I think Xcaret shuts that idea down. Xcaret is an eco-archaeological park that offers a day full of being up close to exotic animals, floating down lazy rivers, and an amazing glimpse inside Mayan history and culture. You can even opt to see the spectacular show that the park puts on at the end of night full of vibrant costumes and incredible dancing and singing about Mexican and Mayan history.
Read more: The Ultimate Guide to Cancun, Mexico
Two day tour: XCARET PARK + CHICHÉN ITZÁ Tour guide visit to Chichen Itza Pyramids +enjoy traditional Mexican exhibitions at Xcaret for only $ 166.40 USD
Ruta Del Río Route
The black line of the park is full of up close views of exotic animals and creatures, including flamingos, manatees and spider monkeys. This route also includes archaeological sites and a beautiful museums of different species of orchids.
Favorite things on this route:
Bat Cave & Entrance to the three rivers
Ruta Acuario Route
The blue route is more of an aquarium, where you can interact with and see live sharks, sea turtles, and coral reefs.
Favorite thing on this route:
Sea turtles – they had baby turtles, adolescent turtles, and adult turtles… I was in turtle heaven.
Ruta Playa Route
This route has amazing views of the beach and opportunities for snorkeling and swimming the beautiful Caribbean Sea.
Favorite thing on this route:
Andrew loved walking along this tight-rope to get the best views of the beach from the water. Of course, I opted to lay and soak up the sun in the lounge chairs in the sand.
Ruta Delfines Route
This is the route where you can enjoy the spa amenities (extra cost) and enjoy more snorkeling activities. It also has natural pools by the sea and amazing beach-side restaurants!
Favorite things on this route:
The natural pools and the views of the Caribbean are amazing from this route. This is also where the famous Xcaret destination sign is, which is a must-see. We enjoyed an amazing seafood lunch buffet (with a taco station!!) at the El Manglar Restaurant that I would highly recommend. Tip: With Xcaret Plus you get one free meal at any of the restaurant or buffet locations around the park and it is definitely worth the extra money if you plan to stay for the majority of the day.
Ruta Pueblo Maya Route (White Route)
This is probably the route that will take up most of your time. It is full of incredible activities such as the Butterfly Pavilion, the Mayan Village and Ball Court, Jaguars and Pumas, and the Mexican Cemetery called "Bridge to Paradise."
Favorite thing on this route:
The Butterfly Pavilion was amazing! The butterflies are so close to you and you can spot the many different species and colors as you walk past. One even landed on Andrew.
Ruta México Espectacular Route
This route holds the Chapel of Guadalupe and the Museum of Mexican Folk Art. Although I did not have time to see either of these, I was able to see the Mexico Espectacular show that takes place here nightly. We did however, enjoy the sunset from the top of one of the buildings, which was a perfect way to end of the day by watching the sun set on top of the palm trees.
Favorite thing on this route:
The show at the end is exactly what is says it is- spectacular! It's about two hours of dancing, singing, and information about Mexico's long history.
Tips for the Park:
The park requires that you use biodegradable sunscreen so plan ahead or be prepared to buy some at the park.
It really is an all-day activity if you want to see the whole park, so plan to get there early!
I would absolutely recommend spending the extra money if you can to upgrade to the Xcaret Plus package, where in addition to access to the full park it includes access to lockers, snorkeling equipment, and a meal at one of the restaurants or buffets.

Check out these other parks that are similar to Xcaret:
It was an amazing experience to see the exotic and beautiful ecological parts of Mexico. Xcaret allowed us to see pieces of Mayan history and culture while still being able to explore the waters and jungles of the country that we fell in love with in the first place.

Green Investment Bank Commits £35m to North Wales Energy from Waste Plant
16 December 2016
Green Investment Bank has committed £35 million of senior debt to the construction of a new energy-waste-plant in North Wales.
The facility will cost a total of £180m and is also backed by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Siemens Bank and Natixis, with Barclays providing an equity bridging loan.
Exhibition Press Release
28 November 2016
A new energy recovery facility (ERF) is being proposed at Buttington Quarry to provide heat and electricity to homes and local businesses. Powered by residual, non-recyclable waste, the plant would secure the future of the former brickworks site and quarry for long term employment use and contribute to environmental targets.
Continue Reading
Residents are being invited to come to the event taking place on Wednesday 7th December to learn more about the proposed development and to have their say on what the facility will look like and to hear their views.
Tell us what you think at the Buttington ERF consultation event.
23 November 2016
Welsh: Broad Energy (Wales) Limited will be consulting with the community about the proposed ERF. We are seeking the views of both individuals and organisations within local and neighbouring communities. We will consider feedback before the plans are finalised ahead of any planning application being submitted to Powys County Council.Continue Reading

The ERMS Earth Keepers are continuing to generate new, creative ideas to improve the health of the Rogue River watershed while beautifying downtown Rockford and educating the greater community. This year, the 6th grade students are interested in eradicating Phragmites, an aggressive, invasive grass that crowds out native plants and animals, blocks shoreline views and reduces access for swimming, fishing, and hunting. The area of most concern is a 10 acre waterfront parcel owned by the City of Rockford for public enjoyment and recreation that is currently overrun by Phragmites. This year, ERMS and the City of Rockford are working with contractors to eliminate the Phragmites with herbicide, beginning with a 2,000 square foot site on the White Pine Trail.
This spring, the Earth Keepers will be responsible for revegetating the site to ensure the Phragmites will not return. While eradication of Phragmites is the main goal, there will be numerous ecologically and community benefits to the project as well. Because the students will be replanting the site with 3,000 native plants, the new garden will support an array of native butterflies and birds, treat stormwater runoff before entering the river, turn an unsightly area into a beautiful garden, and continue our efforts to educate the community about watershed issues. Another added benefit is the location along the White Pine Trail. A study from Michigan State University found that the White Pine Trail had 54,096 users in the summer of 2005 and 588 users a day. This new garden along with educational signage would complement the 3,000 square foot bioswale that was implemented in this area last year just a few yards down the trail.
Fostering Lifelong Stewardship
The students treated the Phragmites like the enemy it is and wanted to eradicate more than we had planned. Many students shared in our wrap up session that they would now keep an eye out for invasive species on their own properties and get rid of it. Most of our students are paying attention to their waterways and the erosion that may be happening as well as the runoff that is draining directly into them. They have realized that if we want these great resources, we each have to take an active role in protecting them.

East Rockford Middle School committed to managing storm water runoff and related non-point source pollution in the Rogue River watershed. In September and October, 120 7th graders worked with Trout Unlimited on an educational program called the Leaf Pack Network to assess water quality, the importance of healthy natural systems, and how to collect and analyze stream data. 6th graders took this one step further by implementing practices that prevent nonpoint source pollutants from entering the Rogue River in the City of Rockford and educating our community on the effects of storm water runoff. In December, students presented their project proposal to the city at a council meeting. They proposed to plant 2 native vegetation gardens in downtown Rockford and carry out a student-led rain barrel workshop. In April, 6th graders hosted a community rain barrel making workshop and then in May taught all ERMS 6th graders about the use of rain barrels. 42 rain barrels were sold to community members and sales continue today. In May, students planted 3,500 plants in a native revegetation garden in downtown Rockford to address the runoff from 3 parking areas. Community members assisted students in this endeavor and signage will be added this summer.

SOURCE: The belt keeps coming loose
You need to replace the alternator belt.they have a bolt which you loosen the belt. the belt probably got loose because this "tension" bolt was not properly tightened. the noise you hear is the belt slipping on the pullies. to replace it loosen the tension bolt until it is lose enough to remove the old belt. replace the belt with one of the same thickness and length. Be sure to tighten the bolt to where the belt will have about a 1/2 inch pressing down on it firmly with your thumb. you may have to remove some other components ( the fan for example) to replace the belt but thats questionable.

you need to put a chevy alternator with a built in regulator on it.
You need a 3 wire alternator. Two wires go to the battery and one wire goes to anything connected to the ignition switch.

Go to faxonautoliterature. They carry dealer service manuals and have the manual you are looking for. As a matter of fact you can either get the manual for the whole car or one for the transmission only. I have used them before and had excellent service. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 1984 AMC Eagle automatic transmission not fully
Check oil level, the motor has to run.
Could be the oil pump in the gearbox.
Or the link for the gear selector out of adjustment.
Maybe a gearbox oil filter.
Good luck.

Ear plugs at the ready, Ma'am! Kylie, Tom Jones and Robbie Williams... But who'll be picked to perform God Save The Queen?
The Queen's choice is Sir Cliff Richard, 71, who is going to serenade her with Congratulations.
And the Duke of Edinburgh has apparently requested Dame Shirley Bassey, the diva's diva who is still going strong at 75. She will sweep into London from the tax haven of Monaco, where she lives.
Indeed, despite the inclusion of bright young things JLS and Jessie J, Bank Holiday Monday's Diamond Jubilee concert is aimed squarely at middle-aged Middle England.
The performers, who include Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John, will play to an audience of 18,000 on a specially constructed stage on the Victoria memorial in front of Buckingham Palace.
Line-up: Kylie Minogue is tipped to sing the Anthem. Shirley Bassey (right) was apparently requested to perform by the Duke of Edinburgh
That alone has cost £200,000 to put up and the BBC has spent a further £300,000 on spectacular lighting.
The three-hour extravaganza will be broadcast live on BBC 1 and Radio 2 from 7.30pm.
As you might expect, the mix of input from the Palace, the BBC and the creative approach of the rock industry has been at times incendiary.
There have been terrible rows over who — if anyone — will be willing to sing God Save The Queen, and mutterings of dissent between the artists, not all of whom are the best of friends.
For instance there was talk of Jessie J and Tom Jones, both judges on BBC's The Voice, being kept apart after it was suggested that their on-screen rivalry had spilled over into real life.
But Jones was at pains last week to talk of his fondness for his high-maintenance co-star in a radio interview.
And some performers don't get on with Annie Lennox, who has a reputation for being intense to the point of rudeness.
The BBC insists it'll be performed in a way the audience will find 'unexpected' — which usually means it'll be a duet, perhaps with Kylie Minogue, who is famously easy-going.
It is no surprise that those who've agreed to play have been told rather sternly they are to behave on the big day.
Even their backstage demands have been kept as simple as possible. So far, Macca has asked for vegetarian food and incense, and Elton is said to want Diet Coke in cans, San Pellegrino water and 'relaxed' lighting. (Coming from someone as high-maintenance as Elton, that's virtually agreeing to do the gig in bare feet.)
Jessie J has asked for salt-and-vinegar Snack a Jacks and mint tea, while Kylie just wants herbal tea and honey.
Sir Tom has put in for his usual rider — French white wine of a decent vintage and black hand towels to mop up sweat (white ones become too grubby from melting stage make-up.)
The performers - including Robbie Williams (left) and Tom Jones (right) - will play an audience of 10,000 on a specially constructed stage on the Victoria memorial in front of Buckingham Palace
But what about the music?
Sir Cliff Richard has apparently been told the artists have six minutes each.
Gary Barlow, creative head of the venture, says they have been told to play music that is positive and uplifting, that there will be 'zero tolerance' for any bad behaviour, and they aren't being paid a penny.
You can't imagine Sir Cliff falling foul of any of these rules, but there are still a few issues and wrinkles.
Should, Sir Elton play Candle In The Wind, the ballad forever associated with the late Princess of Wales after he played it at her funeral?
They were close friends, and was thought he wanted to sing it to reflect her importance at this event, which will be attended by Princes William and Harry.
However, there is nervousness in some quarters about how it might go down at the Palace.
One of Elton's friends sighed: 'I don't know if he's doing it. It all has to go through Gary Barlow. At the moment it changes every hour.'
It then became known that Sir Elton did not wish to play it.
The concert will cost £4 million to stage — stumped up by the BBC, which has the broadcast rights. Producer Dickinson says she's confident it'll make money from sales in Japan, Germany and across the Commonwealth. In the U.S., the event will be screened on ABC.
The BBC has hired renowned designer Mark Fisher, who has previously worked with U2 and The Rolling Stones, to make the stage as spectacular as possible — more so than the Golden Jubilee concert.
That kicked off, of course, with Brian May famously performing God Save The Queen on the roof of the Palace.
May says he's not been invited this time: 'No, we haven't been asked at all, which is a shame.
Paul McCartney (left) apparently demurred at the suggestion he should sing the Anthem. Jessie J (right) has asked for salt-and-vinegar Snack a Jacks and mint tea for backstage
'Maybe next time we will, the one after Diamond, whatever that is. I don't know how they're going to top the Golden Jubilee event, but that's Gary Barlow's problem. They'll have to drop him from a helicopter or something.'
Indeed, it is quite a problem. For although Barlow made some rather confident noises about only wanting 'world-class' performers there is a long list of some of the best British stars who are simply not going to be there.
Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton and Ozzy Osbourne performed a decade ago at the Party At The Palace for the Golden Jubilee — but won't take part this time.
Ozzy's spokesman says he wasn't even asked; Clapton's just that he's not going to be there.
And The Rolling Stones, arguably our biggest musical export, won't be, either — a spokesman will only confirm that they are 'not playing for the Queen or the Olympics'.
In truth Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are at such daggers drawn after decades of an increasingly fractious relationship that they are unable to agree on a touring schedule for their own 50th anniversary this year.
Meanwhile, Adele, Britain's most successful female singer in decades, has also declined. She, it seems, was not persuaded by Gary Barlow's approaches.
And even though he made a trip to America earlier this year to try to woo recording stars there, he also failed to secure Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, all of whom were on a wish-list.
Robbie Williams, his former Take That bandmate, did agree to perform, and it's thought Barlow plans to sing with him at some point, though he is not going to have his own slot on the running order.
Princes William and Harry also wanted to see Jay-Z on the bill, but again he turned the Queen down.
There's a hope the Prince Harry might make a surprise stage visit to shake a tambourine when Gary Barlow performs Sing.
That should at least make the Queen smile. For there are some signs that, at 86, she's not completely in the mood for a pop festival on her doorstep.
Barlow does not expect her to attend the whole show, and thinks she will probably only stay to hear Sir Cliff.
In a TV interview he said: 'The first thing she asked me was: "What time does the concert finish?"
I said: "Oh, about half past ten, your Majesty."
'She said: "How long does it take to take down all the equipment then?"
I said: "About seven hours," and she said: "So they're going to be taking it down all through the night, so all my family who live at the front of the Palace are going to be kept awake all night?"
I said: "Yeah". It was really awkward!'
It should be noted that at the Golden Jubilee concert which overran she was present only for the final hour and a half, and even then was wearing ear protectors.
This time around, despite the best efforts of Barlow and numerous meetings about the project, again she seems unlikely to be entirely approving.
Barlow said: 'She chooses when she comes and goes, so she'll probably be heading out when I start to sing and back when Cliff starts to sing,' he said.
It all sounds like a right royal headache.

When the Queen lights the National Beacon at 10.30pm on Bank Holiday Monday, she will complete a chain of more than 4,000 visible from space.
The tradition dates back to Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and has been embraced by everyone from national charities to parishes and schools.
Beacons will shine from Britain's four highest peaks: Ben Nevis, Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Northern Ireland's Slieve Donard, while 60 will line Hadrian's Wall.
They will start in Commonwealth countries, with Tonga lighting the first at 10pm local time — 10am in the UK. From there a chain will take in Malta, where the Queen enjoyed her honeymoon, and Kenya, where she learned of her father's death.
At 10pm, the first will be lit in Britain in London, followed by thousands more. Finally, after the Palace pop concert, the Queen will light her beacon on the Mall by placing a diamond in a high-tech pod, which triggers the flame.
A total of 6,500 roads are to be closed to host street parties (posed by models)
At least 10,000 street parties have been organised.
In Greenwich, the Old Royal Naval College has a table that can seat 800 people.
In Banbury, Oxfordshire, locals believe their table will be the country's biggest and have been fundraising since November.
They have invited 1,000 primary school children and their families to eat food typical of the Fifties.
Residents of Goring-on-Thames in Oxfordshire have joined with their neighbours in Streatley, Berkshire, to organise a jubilee lunch spanning two counties, feeding almost 3,500 at 465 tables in a line stretching more than half a mile. When the clock strikes three, all guests will raise a glass in a 'Mexican wave' toast to Her Majesty.
A total of 6,500 roads are to be closed to host street parties ranging from the traditional — the National Trust is expecting to serve 200,000 cups of tea at its properties — to the unconventional.
In Preston, the Sikh Cultural Association has organised a vegetarian meal for 500.
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip during the Silver Jubilee, returning to Buckingham Palace
Queen Victoria held a Diamond Jubilee carriage procession from Buckingham Palace to St Paul's Cathedral for a service of Thanksgiving in 1897.
But on arrival the elderly Queen felt so unwell she refused to leave her carriage and the service was held outside.
After her own Thanksgiving Service at St Paul's on Bank Holiday Tuesday, followed by lunch in the Palace of Westminster, our Queen's procession will start at 2.20pm.
The Royal Family, will leave the Palace of Westminster in open-topped carriages known as state landaus and make their way up Whitehall to Trafalgar Square, through Admiralty Arch and along the Mall to Buckingham Palace.
Military servicemen will line the route and the King's troop will fire a 60-gun salute. The Royals will then appear on the palace balcony for an RAF Flypast, and a Feu de Joie — or rifle salute — in the palace forecourt by the Queen's Guard.
The Queen will travel in the 1902 carriage the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge used after their wedding. Should it rain, she will use the gilded Australian State Coach — the only royal carriage with heating.

We are nothing without our staff team.
Specialist Autism Services is committed to providing quality training in Autism Spectrum Conditions to all of our staff team. Our extensive experience of working with this client group over the past 17 years has provided us with the opportunity to develop a unique training programme which is delivered to everyone working within the organisation.
We are proud that the ethos, values and beliefs of our organisation have contributed to our high staff retention rate. Our staff team have demonstrated a commitment to continually expand their knowledge of ASCs which enables them to develop personalised support strategies to promote the progression of the individuals we are working with.
Our intensive induction programme is delivered over a 12 week period. During this time we provide new staff with the information and resources they require to perform their role efficiently and effectively. We support them to gain a comprehensive understanding of their role within the organisation and to gain awareness of our policies and values. We provide a full programme of induction training around autism which includes theory, working practices, areas of impairment (social interaction, communication and rigidity of thought), sensory differences, mental health and different communication methods. This theory is then related to working practice and The Care Certificate.
ASC Staff Training Programme
The induction process is then followed by an ongoing staff training programme throughout the year which combines the relevant mandatory training with learning disability and mental health training, alongside an extensive range of autism specific topics/areas such as social skills training, communication and sensory issues, planning and delivering workshops, dealing with challenging behaviour, current legislation, effective one-one strategies for individuals with an ASC, team building and leadership and management.
Informal training/mentoring/shared experiences
In addition to the more formal training that we offer, Specialist Autism Services promotes good team communication through our daily team meetings. These provide us not only with an opportunity to share information about the individuals we are working with, but also to share our experience and discuss strategies which we have adopted or may wish to adopt to support a particular individual. These meetings involve staff from all levels of the organisation ranging from volunteers to Directors. This has also enabled our Management Team to identify areas of training our staff team themselves feel they would benefit from.
Continued Personal Development
Ongoing personal development is a key factor to ensuring our staff team have the support and opportunity for development which they require. Our aim is to provide staff with the relevant and inspirational learning experiences to focus their development in line with their aspirations and potential. A variety of distance learning courses are available to our team and through CPD led reviews we can provide or source additional training where possible
Specialist Autism Services heavily invests both time and money in our staff team as we believe that in order to provide a quality service to our client group it is essential that we employ highly skilled people.
If you would like to find out more about our staff training programme, please contact us.

Standard tournament rules, we have agreed to the definitions on the BBC Ethics website http://www.bbc.co.uk... which are as follows:
Active euthanasia
In active euthanasia a person directly and deliberately causes the patient's death.
Assisted suicide
This is when the person who wants to die needs help to kill themselves, asks for it and receives it.
A competent patient is one who understands his or her medical condition, what the likely future course of the disease is, and the risks and benefits associated with the treatment of the condition; and who can communicate their wishes.
The value that a human being has simply by existing, not because of any property or action of an individual.
Abbreviation for Do Not Resuscitate. Instruction telling medical staff not to attempt to resuscitate the patient if the patient has a heart attack.
Doctrine of Double Effect
Ethical theory that allows the use of drugs that will shorten life, if the primary aim is only to reduce pain.
Futile treatment
Treatment that the health care team think will be completely ineffective.
Indirect euthanasia
This means providing treatment (usually to reduce pain) that has the foreseeable side effect of causing the patient to die sooner.
Involuntary euthanasia
This occurs when the person who dies wants to live but is killed anyway. It is usually the same thing as murder.
Living will
A document prepared by an individual in which they state what they want in regard to medical treatment and euthanasia.
Non-voluntary euthanasia
This is where the person is unable to ask for euthanasia (perhaps they are unconscious or otherwise unable to communicate), or to make a meaningful choice between living and dying and an appropriate person takes the decision on their behalf, perhaps in accordance with their living will, or previously expressed wishes.
Palliative care
Medical, emotional, psychosocial, or spiritual care given to a person who is terminally ill and which is aimed at reducing suffering rather than curing.
Passive euthanasia
In passive euthanasia death is brought about by an omission - i.e. by withdrawing or withholding treatment in order to let the person die.
Abbreviation for Physician Assisted Suicide.
Voluntary euthanasia
This is where euthanasia is carried out at the request of the person who dies.
As pro I will defend that euthanasia is not morally permissible and will be excluding indirect euthanasia and palliative care from the definition.
Pro will not be arguing for the permissibility of involuntary euthanasia.
1st round for acceptance. I wish my opponent good luck and thank him for the patience in setting this up (it took us a while).
TrasguTravieso forfeited this round.

Romancing Phyllis-01 story came out into the light of day when I stopped at my parents home on my return trip from my annual pilgrimage to sacred Eagle-Ghost Sun-dance ceremony. Romancing Phyllis-01 is Part 01 of 10 to my parents Romancing to Love story.
This is my story about how I learned of my parents young years of Romancing. The photo above was taken before I learned how they got together. Mom is 68 and Dad is 72 years old and they're entering our community hall for their 50th Wedding Anniversary community dinner. Wedding Anniversaries are extended family and X'aisla First Nation community celebrations. As their story progresses you'll see that it's their first public Wedding celebration...
Today is my fifth day of driving. I'm on my home stretch now! For all my years of travel to and from sacred Sun Dance ceremony, I keep to the same driving pattern:
I like night-driving. Traffic is mostly b-train flat-deck trucks loaded with slaughtered trees. Like the loaded b-trains I'm on the move for four nights and five days in a row. It's seven a.m. Highway traffic is increasing.
I pull into the LeJac Auto Body gas pump to fill up and to call Mom. I'm the only vehicle at the gas pump. I wait. No one comes out. I get out and go through the unlocked front door.
Inside is a heavy smell of thick auto-grease.
I call out, "Anyone here?"
A man's voice answers, "I'm in the shop! Do you want gas?"
I follow the voice through the double wide doors. A set of legs in dark blue coveralls that's thick with black grease sticks out from under the front end of a car. Even his heavy work-boots are covered in auto-grease.
"Yes please! And check my tires, motor and transmission oils and my windshield washer too, ok?" I say.
"Sure thing! I'll be right out!"
"Alright! Can I use your phone?"
"It's behind the counter. Help yourself," he says.
"Thanks!" I say and at the phone I dial Mom's number. She picks up the phone half-way through the first ring!
"Hi Mom!" I say.
"I knew it was you! We were just talking about you! Where are you?" she asks.
"I just pulled into LeJac to gas up! I'm going to stop to rest along the way and stop for gas again at Gitwanga. I expect to get there around noon or so," I say. Continue to Romancing Phyllis Part 2 of 10
