Thanks to Alistair Forbes for hosting SPF.
Six-year-old James was excited. He was at a giant amusement park with a fascinating complex modular domes. He tried to rush past his parents but his Dad grasped James' hand firmly.
They entered the first dome and there was a huge race track inside. James squeeled while driving with his Dad in a go-kart. The next dome had a mini-golf course. Half-way through the course James decided he was bored and that it was time for his adventure alone; he crept off when his Dad was putting.
He spent his day playing in a giant indoor playground and then went outside to where there were rides for kids to go on. He made friends with another boy named Paul whose parents thought James had permission to ride rides with them.
After a while James felt sick because he hadn't eaten. He returned to the mini-golf course to wait for his Dad. He sat there for hours but he never saw his parents. He thought they had decided they didn't want him.
Then he heard his Mom's angry voice: "James William, where have you been?" He hugged his Mom and cried into his Dad's shoulder when he picked James up. It appeared his adventure alone was more than James had bargained for.

I have finished the stitching of the cushions for the sofa. And what a colourful addition they make too.
I am loving the chicken/rooster look. And it is nice to have them out of their bags and actually being used.
I have a couple more projects I have started, which will keep me busy. Its fun trying new things and wondering how they will start and turn out.
Last night when Nadia went back to school, she asked if she could take back some wool and needles, so she could knit scarves with the other Year 8 & 9 students. It must be pretty boring looking after the younger kids at night times, especially if they go straight to bed

Call the Doctor?
Did you ever wonder what happened to little Danny from The Shining? I've often thought about how messed up he would be after all that went down. Can you ever ride a big wheel or meet twins without your heart racing?
36 years after the original novel came out, we are finally treated to a follow-up by Stephen King! The new novel, Doctor Sleep, treats us to some insights into little Danny post Overlook Hotel trauma and his adult life as he meets a 12 year-old girl with a spectacular gift.
In honour of our REDRUM Halloween Party on Nov 1st (featuring The Daft Punk Tribute), we have been given some copies of the new book that we'll be giving away, as well as some Doctor Sleep sleep masks! Every hotel package will now include a sleep mask, and we'll do a draw to see which rooms will get a book. We'll also be doing some social media giveaways so make sure you follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook so you don't miss out!
Huge thanks to the folks over at Simon & Schuster Canada for the gifts and helping us make our Shining themed Halloween even better!

Inquiry Question
Reading 3: Excerpts from the Massachusetts Spy
The Massachusetts Spy was a weekly newspaper founded by Isaiah Thomas in Boston, Massachusetts. The newspaper moved to Worcester on the eve of the American Revolution and was renamed the Worcester Spy. In 1857, the newspaper reported the dedication of Mechanics Hall and some of its early programs, as well as local, national, and world news.
Massachusetts Spy, March 25, 1857
Massachusetts Spy, April 22, 1857
At the evening session, which was held at Mechanics' Hall, Wendell Phillips spoke again, and made the speech of the session, to an auditory of some two thousand. Mechanics' Hall is the place to hear Wendell Phillips to advantage.
The Oratorio of the Creation, performed by the Mozart Society, at Mechanics' Hall, on Thursday evening, afforded further demonstrative evidence of the necessity which had arrived for just such a hall in this city, and of the great convenience it will be to our citizens. Every seat, in all parts of the house, was filled, numbers were obliged to stand, and some, we are informed, who had purchased tickets, but were unable to obtain seats, returned their tickets and received the price back again. The performance was a most successful one. We have no room, if we had the capacity, to criticize it, but we cannot omit to say that the efforts of Mrs. Allen and Misses Fiske and Whiting were most favorably received by the audience. It was very ably conducted by Mr. Edward Hamilton, who added new honors to those already won by him.

Obama's debt problem
President Barack Obama won't be able to enjoy much of a victory lap from his win over congressional Republicans on the fiscal cliff fight.
There are about 16.4 trillion reasons why.
Story Continued Below
The staggering national debt — up about 60 percent from the $10 trillion Obama inherited when he took office in January 2009 — is the single biggest blemish on Obama's record, even if the rapid descent into red began under President George W. Bush.
( Also on POLITICO: Why 85 House Republicans said 'yes' to taxes)
Obama has long emphasized Bush's role in digging the immense hole. But he owns it now, and it's a significant political liability as he girds for a fast-approaching brawl with the GOP over how to deal with converging deadlines of a new debt ceiling fight and the need to come up with $1 trillion in deficit reduction mandated by the so-called "sequester."
"The numbers — at some point it's got to catch up or else we're all going to die," said Chris Chocola, head of the anti-tax Club for Growth, which opposed the cliff deal. "We have serious problems that are going unaddressed and we're moving in the wrong direction."
Obama was able to splinter his deeply divided Republican opponents over the issue of tax cuts for the wealthy. But a similar fate might await the president and his Democratic allies if he brokers a deal with the GOP that requires massive spending and entitlement cuts.
( Also on POLITICO: Toomey: No revenue in debt deal)
During the cliff talks, Obama was purposely opaque about what cuts he'd ultimately accept, saying only that Republican resistance to a one-shot grand bargain meant he needed to make a deal in pieces — taxes first, spending second.
That tactic delayed but didn't eliminate a looming day of reckoning on spending and entitlements that will come within 60 days thanks to the convergence of the debt ceiling deadline and the new deadline for keeping automatic cuts from kicking in.
"Republicans — and some Democrats — want to curtail Social Security, veterans benefits, Medicare and Medicaid — that's not a secret — and some of us are going to be fighting to say no," said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), author of a letter sent by 29 Senate Democrats in September demanding Obama back off chained CPI, which would reduce Social Security increases indexed to inflation.
"It is absolutely imperative the president and Democratic leadership stay strong on this issue. If they do, we will win," added Sanders, who wants the president to aggressively push for tax hikes and loophole elimination on corporations.
( Also on POLITICO: Enjoy the fiscal cliff debate? Just wait for the debt ceiling)
Former Clinton administration official Alice Rivlin, a member of Obama's defunct deficit commission, says Obama "understands the [deficit-reduction] issue" but "he's got to deal with his own left wing, which is not enthusiastic about doing it. The real problem … is that Social Security has become kind of [a] no-no" to liberals.
In a video message to his 2012 campaign supporters released Wednesday, Obama offered few specifics on how he'd approach the coming fight. He reiterated his call for a "balanced" approach to deficit reduction despite a cliff deal that contains only a few billion in cuts and may add hundreds of billions to the debt in coming decades, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Indigenous Connections at USQ opens window on uni life
LEARNING to play a didgeridoo is not the easiest task in the world, but after a lesson at the University of Southern Queensland, St George student Ned Jones thinks he might have the hang of it.
The 14-year-old from St George joined 300 fellow indigenous students at USQ's Indigenous Connections event.
High school students from all over south-west Queensland travelled to Toowoomba for the event which gave them the opportunity to experience what university life was all about.
Nanango State High School student Eden Farrar spent her afternoon making traditional women's dance sticks with friend Alex Fitzpatrick.
The girls decorated their sticks with feathers and other traditional materials.
"We're having heaps of fun," she said.
USQ Vice-Chancellor Professor Jan Thomas said the event was all about letting indigenous students know that attending university was possible for them, regardless of where they came from.
"Coming to university is scary for anyone who doesn't have any family experience in tertiary education," she said.
"We'd like them to feel like university is something that they can succeed at."
Professor Thomas said she believed it was important to engage young people in higher education while they were still progressing through high school.
It was one of the most important community programs run by the university every year.
About 300 students took part in activities such as traditional art, making dance sticks, dancing, playing indigenous sports and didgeridoo lessons.
Students also took part in talks with USQ academic staff to get a taste of what happened in university classrooms.
The two-day event, which is in its fifth year, is being held at the Clive Berghofer Recreation Centre.
Indigenous Connections
- Where: Clive Berghofer Recreation Centre at USQ
- When: Today from 9.30am to 2pm
- What: A chance for indigenous students to see what university life is like.

Those who believe they have no voice should never give up. Those with developmental disabilities should be aware of their rights and they should be willing to stand up for themselves. The right-wing in this country wants to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act, citing that, as Rand Paul stated, that the law is too tough on small business. The oppressed have rights and it's time to fight for those rights.

We are a full-scale water damage restoration company that is proud to serve Orme TN. Our vast experience and knowledge of fire, water, and storm damaged residential and commercial properties sets us apart from other restoration companies in our area. It is our goal to provide our customers with the best water damage services possible while going through times of distress and displacement. We are licensed General Contractors, and we take pride in by being able to carry any type of job from beginning to end. We have found from past experience it is much more comforting for the homeowner, insurance company, and contractor to work together on the job from start to finish, and we provide the best service for all parties involved.
One thing that sets us apart from other restoration companies is our core values. We live by these values, making sure every job is done with a prompt response while maintaining constant communication with homeowner, agent & adjuster. By doing this we truly execute the job from mitigation to restoration until all parties involved are more than pleased.
Emergency Water Damage Response
Water is one of the most destructive forces in nature, and a quick response to potential water damage is critical. Contacting a certified professional water damage restoration specialist is the safest and most expedient way to prevent further damage. Our certified water technicians stand prepared 24/7 to respond to a water emergency and to begin the restoration of your home or business.
Water damages can occur from storms including hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and more. Dealing with them becomes frustrating for most. Sometimes it's not an outside force that causes the flooding but instead home issues such as broken or leaky pipes, frozen pipe water damage, sink overflow, toilet overflow, bathtub overflow, refrigerator, washing machine, water heater, or dishwasher overflow, air conditioner leaks, sump pump failure, or hardwood floor water damage. This is why our water damage restoration specialists offer water restoration.
The Best Orme Water Damage Equipment & Experts
With any water damage in Orme, it is necessary to analyze and assess the building materials and contents that are being affected by the moisture and then only we develop specific water removal and cleanup process. Our Orme water damage cleanup specialists employ trained personnel and special equipment that can evaluate flood damage and can identify all the problem areas that are retaining the moisture. Most often during a water loss situation, there are more materials that are wet than appear to be. Even if you feel the water cleanup is small or isolated, it should be evaluated by a flood cleanup restoration professional.
We will be with you through every part of the process including the water extraction, water restoration, and many other water removal services that are fitted to your situation. We use all available water mitigation services to give you the best residential or commercial property restoration. When you need emergency water removal Arcus Restoration has you covered.
24/7 Water Damage Services
Time is of the essence with any water damage, as water can continue to damage your property for as long as it is present. In the right conditions, mold can begin to grow in as little as 24 hours. There are four basic components involved in water damage restoration:
- Extraction – During this process, Arcus Restoration will remove all excess water from the property using portable extraction units, wet/dry vacuums, and, in the case of deep standing water, submersible pumps.
- Drying – Once submerged, most materials absorb and retain some water that cannot be extracted. In order to completely dry these porous materials, Arcus Restoration uses the most advanced equipment available for air circulation, dehumidification, and directed heat drying.
- Repair – Many of the items or structures damaged by the water will need to be cleaned, repaired, and possibly disinfected. Appliances and electrical systems that have been exposed to water will need to be inspected before further use.
- Restoration – This phase involves the actual reconstruction of your damaged property — flooring, drywall, paint, etc. Many "drying" companies are unable or unwilling to handle the reconstruction and would hand this phase of the job off to a separate general contractor whether you wish it or not. Arcus Restoration does not believe our job is done until your property is fully restored to its pre-loss condition.
No matter if you had large-loss from sudden storm damage, or have some broken pipe water damage or even just leaky pipe water damage, you will most likely need some form of home water damage restoration. When you need emergency water removal, we make it our mission to check your home from top to bottom to make sure that all excess water and moisture is eliminated.
Sewage Backup Cleanup & Removal
When you have a busted pipe break from a sewer line, we can provide you with sewage cleanup and removal. Arcus Restoration prides itself on helping treat your sewage damage as quickly and efficiently as possible. Sewage damage can contain high amounts of harmful bacteria and there are serious health risks associated with it. Anything that has been contaminated by sewage damage requires immediate attention to prevent the spread of bio-contaminants including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. It is critical that all of the infected areas are treated immediately and you do not try to clean up a mess from broken pipes that are connected to a sewage line. Coming in contact with raw sewage can cause disease, can destroy your valuables and cause severe damage to your property. Only trained professionals with the right equipment should handle sewage removal.
Our team of professionally certified experts have years of experience resolving various sewage backup cleanup and repair problems. Give us a call immediately if you are suffering from sewage damage.
The Leading Experts in Water Damage Restoration & Repair
Arcus Restoration is a water damage company that provides services for residential and commercial water damage victims. If you are suffering from an emergency and need water damage repair quickly and done professionally, Give us a call today at (423) 708-7517 for immediate help.

BMW M235i xDrive Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is a crankshaft position sensor?
The crankshaft position sensor is located near the engine's crankshaft, and relays information about the crankshaft's position as it rotates.
How does the crankshaft position sensor work?
As the crankshaft spins, the position sensor magnetically reads its position. This information is constantly sent to the engine's computer for comparison with data from the camshaft position sensor.
When the two signals reach the computer, they must match; otherwise, the computer will think there is a mechanical error in the engine and will adjust some settings in response.
What are the symptoms related to a bad crankshaft position sensor?
When the computer senses the engine is out of time, it will turn on the check engine light, and the engine may start and stall, or fail to start at all. If the engine runs, it will run poorly, and get bad fuel mileage.
» LEARN MORE: Symptoms of a bad crankshaft position sensor
Can I drive with a crankshaft position sensor problem?
Driving a vehicle with a failed camshaft or crankshaft position sensor is usually impossible. If driving is possible, it is not recommended. If the sensor is functioning normally and reporting an error, the engine may be out of time or may have suffered a mechanical failure.
How often do crankshaft position sensors need to be replaced?
There's no set replacement interval for the crankshaft position sensor, and on many cars, the part will last the lifetime of the vehicle. It's not uncommon for it to fail, however, and the likelihood increases once you pass 100,000 miles.
How are crankshaft position sensor issues diagnosed?
Using a professional-grade scanner, a mechanic can read where the sensors think the crankshaft and camshaft are, and compare this to their actual position. If the reading from either sensor is incorrect, the sensor will be tested and replaced if necessary.
Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement Cost Estimates
The average cost for a Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement is between $352 and $482 but can vary from car to car.
How is a crankshaft position sensor replaced?
To replace the crankshaft position sensor, you have to disconnect any electrical connectors and then unscrew the sensor. Sealant may be applied before inserting the new sensor into the engine.
On some vehicles, the crankshaft position sensor is located inside the engine block, and significant deconstruction is required to get to it. In these cases, we recommend trusting a professional technician with the repair.
RepairPal recommendations for crankshaft position sensor issues
Make sure to use high-quality, OEM sensors. Lesser products will likely cause a repeated repair.
When checking this sensor, the vehicle's timing belt should be inspected as well. If the timing belt or timing chain has failed, it should be replaced and the engine should be further inspected.
Can I replace the crankshaft position sensor myself?
Replacing this sensor is easy enough — but what's often tricky is getting the correct diagnosis. Unless you have the proper scanning tools and knowledge, it's likely best to let a professional technician handle this diagnosis and repair.

Peet's profit drops 38% on coffee bean inflation
(5:12 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Peet's Coffee & Tea PEET, hammered by the steep price of coffee beans, reported late Tuesday first-quarter profit dropped 38% to $3.4 million, or 25 cents a share. That compares to a year-ago profit of $5.5 million, or 41 cents a share. Sales rose 7% to $94.8 million for the quarter ended April 1. Cost of goods sold rose to 51% as a percentage of revenue, up from 46.6%. Peet's said coffee was 44% more expensive per pound than in the same 2011 period. Overall, Peet's performance missed Wall Street's view, and it shares fell 5% to $71.70 in late trades. The stock's been trading near 52-week highs. Peet's did back its 2012 profit and sales forecast. "As we previously indicated, we expect to gain significant momentum in the second half (of the year) as coffee cost inflation abates," CEO Patrick O'Dea said in a statement.
Ubiquiti Networks' earnings surge in third quarter
(4:48 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Ubiquiti Networks said Tuesday afternoon that earnings surged 114% in the third fiscal quarter on strong sales. For the period ended March 31, Ubiquiti UBNT reported net income of $27.9 million, or 30 cents a share, compared to net income of $13 million, or 5 cents a share, for the same period last year. On a non-GAAP basis, the company said it would have earned 30 cents a share for the recent quarter. Revenue jumped 79% to $91.7 million. Analysts were expecting earnings of 27 cents a share on revenue of $90.5 million, according to consensus forecasts from Thomson Reuters.
Chesapeake narrows loss, plans more spending cuts
(4:37 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Chesapeake Energy Corp. CHK, -17.07% reported late Tuesday a first-quarter loss of $71 million, or 11 cents a share, narrowing a year-ago loss of $205 million, or 32 cents a share. Adjusted to exclude one-time items, the company earned $94 million, or 18 cents a share. Revenue for the quarter rose 50% to $2.42 billion from $1.61 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet Research, who cite adjusted earnings, had predicted the nation's second-biggest natural gas producer would earn 28 cents a share on $2.71 billion in revenue. The company said it plans "a significant decrease" from peak first-quarter capital spending over the rest of the year as it reduces gas drilling operations and spending on new leaseholds. Shares of Oklahoma City, Okla.-based Chesapeake shares fell 10 cents to $19.50 in after-hours trade. Shares rose 6.3% during the regular session. The stock is down nearly 42% from where it traded a year ago.

It may seem more like an infernal equinox.
When spring arrives at 6:02 a.m. Wednesday, it's likely some areas around Chicago will be wincing from wind chills below zero.
And while temperatures will warm up as the week goes along, there are rumblings about another snow storm Sunday night into Monday morning.
The Chicago Weather Center says an intense low pressure system is pulling Arctic air into the Chicago area, powered by wind gusts up to 40 mph.
This morning, temperatures were in the teens and wind chills ranged from -4 in Rochelle to -1 in Aurora to zero at O'Hare International Airport. On Wednesday, the highs will only reach into the 20s. But some overnight wind chills could dip to -5 north of the city, according to the National Weather Service.
Normal for this time of year is the upper 40s. Last year, we were in the middle of a heat wave that saw a record high of 85 on March 20 and another record of 87 on March 21.
Latest Breaking News
Looking ahead, the Chicago Weather Center says one computer model indicates a potential major snow storm for Sunday and Monday. The National Weather Service has only light rain or snow for those days and says it is too early to say if the forecast will worsen.
WGN-TV meteorologist Tom Skilling says nearly three-quarters of Chicago's average snowfall of 37.1 inches comes down in December, January and February. But March is prone to some big storms, and Skilling notes that the month has been the season's snowiest in 22 of the last 128 winters. April 1938, with 13.6 inches, was the snowiest month in Chicago's 1937-38 season.
