Ford Escape Loses Power
Hope I can get some assistance with this issue. I bought an '09 Escape in September. Since new as it is warming up there is movement in the accelerator pedal. Additionally, it frequently loses power if I go to accelerate from a stop....it literally will do nothing.
I brought it in to the dealer. They confirmed another customer with the same complaint. They don't have a solution for it. Service claims Engineering is working on the problem. It will be interesting to see what Ford has to say if this results in an accident.
Any suggestions on what it might be?
Thanks for your help!

bdyment Posts: 573What engine is your Escape? V6, 4 or hybrid? This is important info. required to assist you.0
The engine is the V6. I was back at the dealership today...still no update from Engineering.0
I have the same issue - did this get resolved to your satisfaction?0
No, it's been a year and it has not been fixed. I don't believe they have a fix for it. Another customer is having the same problem. It is at the dealership now and a technician from Ford head office is suppose to be visiting the dealership to look over the vehicle. It is a dangerous scenario that they are gambling with since they know there is a problem. If something should happen in the way of an accident they can very well be liable for this.0
I have the same problem. Any fix yet??0
No fix for it. In fact it is at the Oakville plant as we speak. They're claiming they cannot reproduce the problem. In fact they are saying a 4 second delay is normal on this vehicle...
So basically I'm making this up and they can't fix it. But they won't take it back either AND they won't give me anything in writing assuming any liability.
Even the dealership acknowledge this problem and was willing to take the vehicle back and get me something new. I had put $6,000 down on the lease. Dealer was going to reimburse me $2,000 and put in a request to Ford for the other $4,000 to put down on another Ford vehicle.
It seems the sunny days of sales is ok, but they won't take responsibility for the product after they take your money.
They keep reiterating that they cannot duplicate the problem. I am in the car all day as a Realtor. I tried to explain to them it is intermittent. So they're telling me if they cannot duplicate it then it doesn't exist!
All it's going to take is one accident and "it" will hit the fan. I've already had one near miss.
I will be filing in small claims court within a week.
Feel free to contact me direct at my email address.
Despite an update to the vehicle computer a few weeks ago, I'm still seeing no major improvement. So they're saying that it's reasonable to expect a 4-second delay in the ability of the transmission to respond? I can think of a number of different scenarios under which I'd be dead or seriously injured if I needed to wait 4 seconds for my transmission to respond.0
Thanks for the response. Where are you located? I am about to either sue them or send a note directly to their legal department.
I think the problem is that the wrong department is analyzing this situation. Any reasonable company would realize that it would be so much easier to get someone out of the vehicle and make them content as well.
They have spend so much time on this vehicle I bet it comes close to what the cost would have been to get me out of this car.
Is there any chance you can give me more details? Although I'd say 4 seconds is a generous number. Like I said, I've already had one near-miss on the 401.
Email address is johnpannozzo at the hot place dot com.
My suggestion would be to hit them with publicity rather than legal action. The former attracts more attention IMHO. Noting that you mentioned Hiway 401, you're probably familiar with the Toronto Star. There are several avenues with the newspaper that you could work this through. There is a definite safety aspect to this that should not be ignored.0
escapeowner3 Posts: 1I have had the same issue. The power loss along with rough shifting and surging in low gears. After more than a year I think they finally found the issue. The problem they believe is with the Cam Phaser. This part finally failed and has something to do with engine timing. The vehicle is currently in the shop and I'll know on Monday whether or not it really is fixed but wanted to share this info. I know there are many exasperated Escape owners out there.0
I'm looking forward to hearing the outcome.
My Escape is going in this week for a new cam sensor and a front axle and transmission case. The axle is loose and leaking oil.
I'm close to trading it in and definitely will not buy a Ford again.
I can be reached directly at [email protected]
I went to the Ford dealer Quik Lube last Saturday (5/15) for and oil change, etc., and they told me there was a recall on my vehicle, to reflash the computer control module. I took it in on Tuesday and the service advisor told me the recall is to maintain higher fluid pressure for the transmission as it shifts into 3rd and 4th gears. I picked it up that night and so far it has been working much better. I'll repost if the problem comes back. This is not a safety recall so apparently Ford doesn't have to mail anything to owners. If you don't have it in at a Ford service dept., you won't find about this recall. Hope this helps anyone else who might be having an issue.0
Glad to hear it is working better for you.
I decided to get rid of mine and did so a while ago.
I bought a BMW and is probably the best decision I made in a vehicle.
Good luck with yours!0
I had same problem, i have 09 escape V6, when i go on a stop and go, when i push the gas it seems like nothing happened. they Reprogrammed the transmission it was TSB but i dont remember the number of it.
I also, have this ticking noise that comes off the RIGHT front side of the engine, that only happens after a long distance drive.
When parked uphill, frontend down, i get oil leak that comes off from the left side of the engine, by the oil pan.
RPM when about to stop they go down to about 600 then back up to 1000 then back down.
I have a sunroof that went out of alignment, they had to fix it 2x.
Bottom line, not happy w this car.0
Sorry to hear about your issues.
Like I said, I finally got rid of it and bought a BMW and really like it.
Good luck my friend.0
tnanninga Posts: 10I have a '06 Mazda Tribute with 4cyl, Automatic Trans, 84,000 miles. Since April at 70,000 miles the dealer has been trying to find what causes this stuttering. After vehicle warms from standing stop as I accelerate at 500 RPM intervals starting at 2000 the engine stutters, shutters, and violently looses power. After shifting to second gear the stutter only happens occasionally. I also noticed a bump or jolt while at steady throttle between 35 & 60. On the highway beyond 60 it is fine, for a 4 banger...
Fuel pump, fuel Filter, fuel pressure regulator, Charcoal Canister, Air Filter, PCM, Catalytic Converter, and a short at the ECM have been addressed. Yet the problem remains. I very concerned about the effect on the drive train as this stuttering continues. I have no more patience.0
stever Posts: 52,462Anyone experiencing stalling or surging may want to contact the NHTSA.
Safety Agency Says Complaints Could Affect 1.6 Million Ford SUVs (WSJ)0
I sure hope they do something about it.
I have noticed that my "SUV" surge forward when i drive while its still cold. And of course the dealer says there is nothing wrong with and the tech could not replicate the issue. I cant wait to be done with school so i can trade that junk "FOUND ON the ROAD DEAD" FORD. For something better.0
papavan Posts: 2my grand daughter has a 2005 escape v6 auto, hers looses power during turns only, another problem is when she puts it in park, it will roll, don't know if the two problems are related, but the neutral safety switch may be the problem for the park and roll problem. if the one fixes the other remains to be seen?0

No Croutons Required - The Winner and October's Challenge
I will be hosting the October edition of No Croutons Required. Undecided until the last day of this month what the challenge should be, I found my thoughts kept returning to the idea of a warming bowl of soup to ease the Fall chills. So, with the soup season upon us, I'm asking for hearty vegetarian soups. The idea is to make a bowl of soup that would essentially be filling and satisfying enough to serve as a meal in itself. For a recap of the submission guidelines, see here.

'Brand X': Name the new Hook personals
Published January 12, 2006 in issue 0502 of The Hook
Ever notice how lame the local personal ads are? The Hook has.
By the end of February, we're putting an end to boring personals and bringing back the love. And we want to share some with you.
Our revamped personals section will need a new name, and that's where you come in.
We looking for a name that conveys fun and romance– not a name that conveys sleaze and randomness like our current personals which are unfortunately dubbed "The HookUp Personals." Ugh!
Our new personals will have a strong online component to facilitate interconnections– a real community of romance.
The name does not need to contain the word "personals." It could be something like "LoveLand," "Piedmont Love Potion," or the "Mate-o-Matic."
At this point, you should be able to see why we desperately need your help! So put on your thinking cap, think your lovin' thoughts, and let your suggestions roll in. Send in as many ideas as you like.
Prizes and such
Plus the biggest reward of all: you'll be at least partly responsible for an explosion of love and affection.
The winner will be judged by a Hook panel, and everyone who enters by email will be notified by the end of the day Wednesday, February 15. Like everyone else who signs as charter users of the new system (no purchase necessary), entrants will have a chance to win a free vacation.

WHEN YOU REMEMBER me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. When I'm feeling most ghost-like, it's your remembering me that helps remind me that I actually exist. When I'm feeling sad, it's my consolation. When I'm feeling happy, it's part of why I feel that way.
If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone. If you forget me, part of who I am will be gone.
"Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom," the good thief said from his cross (Luke 23:42). There are perhaps no more human words in all of Scripture, no prayer we can pray so well.

text: Acclaimed as the most famous Boston State College/University of Massachusetts Boston student-athlete in the 62 year history of athletics at the University, Dan Rea is currently the only athlete to receive an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston as he was honored in 2008 for upholding journalism's highest standards as a Boston television report. While at Boston State College, Rea was a hockey goaltender from 1966-70 under legendary Head Coach Eddie Barry's teams during the `Golden Era'. Rea also pitched for Coach Frank Murphy's baseball teams as both a starting and relief pitcher. Following his graduation, he would receive his Juris Doctor from Boston University School of law in 1974 and shortly after became a member of the MA Bar Association. Rea went on to become a member of the Boston State College Board of Trustees to become the only BSC athlete to ever serve on the board. He returned to the sporting world and became a professional sports lawyer/agent, representing many National Hockey League players including Chris Nilan of the Montreal Canadiens and Ned Harkess, former Head Coach of the Detroit Red Wings. From 1976-2007, Rea worked as an on-air television reporter for WBZ-TV and is the only former BSC athlete to have worked on the air as a reporter. The pinnacle of his career came in 2007 when he was able to help get four wrongfully convicted men released and awarded over $100 million dollars. Rea has served as a member of the Athletics Hall of Fame Selection Committee, a former Master of Ceremonies at past Athletics Hall of Fame Induction Banquets, a Master of Ceremonies at Chancellor J. Keith Motley's Annual Gala while also acting as a legendary contributor and support of the University of Massachusetts Boston for 40 years. During his professional career, Rea won two regional Emmy Awards while being nominated for a total of nine regional Emmys. He has also been the recipient of several distinguished awards including the First Annual Excellence in Journalism Award from the MA Bar Association, the Massachusetts Criminal Defense Lawyers Association Award, the United Press International Award for Outstanding News Reporting, the New England Academy for Televisions, Arts & Sciences Silver Circle Award, the Silver Shingle for Outstanding Public Service Award from Boston University School of Law, the Service Award from the My One Wish Foundation Outstanding, the Arc of Greater Boston Rose Perrin Memorial Person of the Year Award as well as the Yankee Quill Award from the Academy of New England Journalist which is the highest individual honor awarded by fellow journalist in the region.

Sources: FCC chief to move on net neutrality
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski is putting together a net neutrality proposal and plans to take action on the controversial issue as early as next month, according to several sources with knowledge of the situation.
Details of the proposal being developed by Genachowski's office are unclear, but sources say it could be similar to the deal stakeholders tried to reach with Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) earlier this fall.
Story Continued Below
The long-running net neutrality debate centers around rules that would require Internet service providers to treat all web traffic equally. Internet companies like Google and Skype want net neutrality rules applied to both wireline and wireless networks, but network operators including AT&T, Verizon and Comcast say they need flexibility to manage web traffic on their lines.
President Barack Obama campaigned on a promise to implement net neutrality rules. Genachowski's plans to carry out that promise were hampered when a federal court ruled the FCC did not have legal authority to adopt the regulations.
Internet and telecom companies have been in trying to reach a compromise on the hot-button issue, first at the FCC over the summer and most recently with Congress. Under the arrangement shepherded b y Waxman, wireline networks would have been subject to net neutrality rules, meaning the biggest telecom companies would not be able to discriminate against any web traffic or content on their traditional wireline networks.
Wireless networks, however, would not have been subject to all of those non-discrimination requirements. The major telecom and Internet stakeholders, as well as several public interest groups, signed onto the deal, but Republicans on Capitol Hill refused to support the draft proposal, especially so close to the mid-term elections.
It now appears Genachowski, after receiving significant pressure from net neutrality advocates and public interest groups to take action after congressional efforts failed, is picking up where Waxman left off.
"We haven't circulated the December agenda," said Jen Howard, spokeswoman for the FCC chairman's office. "These rumors from outside, uninformed sources are pure speculation at best."

Princeton University History
Founded as the College of New Jersey in Elizabeth in the seventeenth century, Princeton, New Jersey is one of the country's most historic communities. It's the 4th oldest college in the USA and is a private Ivy League university.
Princeton University Programs, Courses and Schools
Regarded as one of the best institutions worldwide Princeton has 18 Master's degree departments, 42 Doctoral departments and programs, 36 Academic Departments and more than 53 interdisciplinary undergraduate certificate programs. It is a medium-sized university and has a total of more than 1,200 faculties and more than 5,200 and 2,700 enrolments in undergraduate and graduate courses respectively.
Princeton has a low student to faculty ratio of 5:1 which helps students develop close working relationships with professors who are leaders in their fields. The most popular majors are Public Policy Analysis, Computer Engineering, Economics, History and Psychology.
Princeton University Campuses
Princeton has an urban campus and it's a quick train ride away from New York City and Philadelphia. The main campus is located in Princeton Borough and Princeton Township. It has more than 200 buildings and 6 residential colleges. It was named by Travel & Leisure as one of the most beautiful campuses in the United States.
Princeton University Library is one of the world's foremost research libraries, and it has nine campus locations. Its holdings include millions of books, manuscripts, non-print items and extensive collections of digital text, data, images, audio, video and online resources.
Princeton University Achievements
From 2001 through the current 2019 edition, Princeton University was ranked either first or second among national universities by U.S. News and World Report (USNWR), holding the top spot for 17 of those 19 years.
Princeton is a research-driven institution, and 26 of its faculty and staff members are Nobel Prize winners. The school has also produced its fair share of highly successful entrepreneurs, journalists, actors, and CEOs. Two US presidents and 12 Supreme Court judges are among Princeton University's alumni body.
Princeton University USP
The financial aid or scholarship offered by Princeton is one of the best. Princeton admission is need-blind, so there is no disadvantage in the admission process for financial aid applicants. 60% of its undergrad students receive financial aid. Its no-loan policy replaces student loans with grant aid that students do not need to pay back. This makes it possible to graduate with little to no debt. It's one of a handful of universities that applies the same policy to international students.
Princeton was ranked number 3 in politics, number 6 in mathematics and number 5 in economics and econometrics on world university rankings by QS for 2018.
Princeton University Notable Alumni
From First Lady Michelle Obama to Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, Princeton University boasts an impressive array of successful alumni. Its list of alumni also includes Jeff Bezos, the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Amazon, Woodrow Wilson, American politician and academic who served as the 28th President of the United States and José Ferrer, Academy Award and Tony Award-winning actor.
On Campus
In this program students are expected to work full-time toward their degrees, normally in residence, and to complete the program within five years. All students work toward the Ph.D., and there is no separate Masters Program. An M.A. degree is typically awarded after students pass the General Examination, normally completed by the middle of the third year of graduate work.

FREESCO v0.3.3 released 7/1/2004
033 has all of the current bugs in 032 repaired as well as new features which include:
A new version of dnsmasq version 1.14 which solves the problem of a blank dhcpd.leases file. Thanks to Simon Kelly.
A new filter.cfg as well as repairs to rc_diald so that dialup Internet connectios will timeout correctly and the filter.cfg is actually used.
The hard drive sleep mode has been fixed with the removal of the update binary.
Modified useradd and useredit, so that users defined without a home directory are given a generic home directory and do not default to the root directory.
The control panel has been modified to reflect the changes to the useradd command.
Capability to trust local networks on an individual basis. So network 2 and 3 can be trusted while network 4 is not. This feature is especially useful for building new unpatched machines in a hostile envirement or isolating infected machines to fascilitate there repair.
Boot speed has been improved dramaticly, so that 033 can run effectively on a 386 as well as much quicker on any speed CPU. Shutdown speed has been increased to around 5 to 10 seconds on any speed CPU. Your mileage may vary.
Dialin RAS services no longer effect dialup, PPPoE, or PPtP. As with all previous versions of FREESCO including the 02x series. If a dialin user connected and then requested a dialout or PPP connection of any kind. The masq file would not function with the correct ppp? interface. This problem has now been corrected and regardless of the ppp# interface the external ppp# connection it will be reflected in all other scripting and firewalling.
New feature added which is the ability to turn off the RAS server.
RAS dialin server has been rewritten to not require the client to use a script. This means that it uses standard pap authentication and any Windows client can just use a username and password added to there standard dialup connection to connect to the FREESCO RAS. This also aplies for FREESCO to FREESCO connections. A dialin user must be created for any dialin connection. Scripting is still an option for dialout. But only pap authentication for dialin.
The mgetty script has been changed to include null modem connections as well as dialin. This solves the previous timeout issues in 032 for nullmodem connections.
Debugging is now added for chat in the RAS as well as dialup mode.
DHCP has now been enabled for PPtP and PPPoE connections. As with previous versions the ENADHCP0= variable was ignored when in PPtP or PPPoE mode. Now it is possible to have both if the ISP requires it for the main PPP connection.
DHCP logging capabilities have been enabled in the setup.
There is also a new DHCP mode that can be used. If you install only one network card and configure as an ethernet router or server, then the DHCP server will give out the true upstream gateway rather than defaulting to FREESCO's internal IP to all clients that connect. In this mode the caching DNS server can also be used to resolve internal names.
New feature, static DHCP leases can now be added from the web control panel rather than only through the setup program. This was a request that seemed reasonable.
The defaults are now in "minicom" so that when it is used without parameters it will use the default modem rather than always requiring a device to be stated.
There is new a test mechanism for the rc_masq in the "rc_main newip" so that when the newip is called from the ip-up script that there can not be more than one instance of it running at a time. This has been a bug in the 03x series that caused PPPoE routers to fail connectivity at the first boot, because before the first usage of rc_masq had finished it could on some machines start it again when the connection came up and therefor create all kinds of duplicate and bogus information, thus causing complete failure until until the firewall was ran again manually.
A change to the passwd function is so that normal users are now allowed to change there own password rather than only root being able to change passwords.
A small bug in the pkg command is now fixed so that when a package is saved it is no longer executable. This was a problem if the user stored them in the /www directory or any subdirectory for the HTTP server.
The /www/cgi/example script has been removed. It was brought to my attention while doing a search for FREESCO that this script is in reality a breach in security if the user has there default web browser open the the world. The script is now gone and therefor removes the vunerabilty. There also is a change in the /www directory is not a symlink but rather a ram directory and in the setup if the www server is enable the question is asked if a permanent www directory is wanted. At that point a /boot/www directory is created if the user answers "y". This directory is also created by default if the system is moved to a hard drive
Changes to the command prompt. I think everyone will like the new one.
New feature in the mv2hd command allow a user to restore a previous .bak copy of FREESCO.
Ram disk have now been repaired so that the check date will never expire and cause errors in the log as well as a minor increase in it's size to 3MB unformatted.
A new 2.0.40 kernel that has tested very stable even with PPtP and IPSEC enabled, Although neither of these options are enabled by default. loose_udp has also been disabled as it was linked to problems with FTP downloads failing on long file lists.
033 has all of the features that 032 has as well as the new features and bug fixes listed above. It now has 88K free on the floppy which is 38K more than what 027 was released with and 54k more than what 032 was released with. This should resolve all space problems on a floppy based FREESCO.

Been swamped at work and home lately - haven't ridden in one week now. That's just not right and will be rectified ASAP. It's not even winter yet, way too early to skip seven days without turning a pedal.
In the mean time, check out this video I caught off the Chuck Ibis site. Ah, those crazy kids and their flyin' machines.

Spotted This Morning: Hickenlooper's strange bedfellows
Mayor John Hickenlooper's charitable giving takes another kick in the teeth this morning, courtesy the hard-working bloggers over at Complete Colorado.
Using the Internet archival program WaybackMachine (a personal favorite), Complete Colorado details that the nonprofit Hickenlooper co-founded and generously funded before becoming Denver's mayor contributed lavishly to a group that caused the city major headaches in 2007.
Readers might remember that The Denver Post's Karen E. Crummy reported recently that the fund Hickenlooper helped start 15 years ago, the Chinook Fund, has given thousands of dollars to groups that have bedeviled Denver with protests.
Our editorial board pointed out on Sunday that one of the groups, Re-create 68, helped swell the $50 million federal budget provided to Denver to guard itself during the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
Crummy's story led us to challenge the now Democratic gubernatorial candidate:
So it was a great irony, and somewhat exasperating, to learn that the Chinook Fund, which Mayor John Hickenlooper helped establish, funds the group and others considered "too risky or too radical" by mainstream foundations.
In previous editorials, we've called on Hickenlooper, and other gubernatorial candidates, to publicly release portions of their tax forms that show which organizations they donate money to. In light of the report by The Denver Post's Karen E. Crummy, we call again for Hickenlooper to be more transparent about his charitable giving.

Northwestern Professors of Economics Robert Gordon and Joel Mokyr just can't seem to get along.
In this past weekend's edition of The Wall Street Journal, the two voice some distinctly adverse ideas about technological innovation in the twenty-first century – on the one hand, its success, and on the other, its stagnation.
Professor Mokyr, author of The Gifts of Athena: Historical Origins of the Knowledge Economy and co-author of The Invention of Enterprise: Entrepreneurship from Ancient Mesopotamia to Modern Times is an economic historian who's altogether positive about the economic direction of the world-at-large. But this isn't just blind optimism; in fact, it's due in large part to the rapid rate of technological innovation. Mokyr notes that "new tools have led to economic breakthroughs," and that since the field of technology is vast and unremitting, we're hardly in danger of economic collapse.
"The divergent views are more than academic. For many Americans, the recession left behind the scars of lost jobs, lower wages and depressed home prices. The question is whether tough times are here for good. The answer depends on who you ask."
But Professor Gordon, a macroeconomist and author of the forthcoming book Beyond the Rainbow: The American Standard of Living Since the Civil War (Princeton), and of the best-selling textbook, Macroeconomics, is hugely skeptical of such theories. He asks us to compare useful and revolutionary objects, like the flushing toilet, to the newest iPad; the former, already invented, is indispensable. Everything created thereafter is simply excess – the cherry on top, if you will. And, as new developments become only incrementally more advanced than their predecessors, technological progress will slowly grind to an anticlimactic halt.
The op-ed also gives some interesting background on both Gordon and Mokyr and tries to posit the origins of their respective beliefs, whether positive or negative. Despite their conflicts, the two can concede to one point: that the twenty-first century is unarguably the best time to be born, and the revelation is certainly an encouraging one.

I really enjoy decorating for each holiday and lately I've been making seasonal banners to hang on the mantel above my fireplace. I especially LOVE Valentine's Day and thought I'd share my most recent design with you. Below you will also see a few of the other banner's I've made.
Valentine Banner
Spring Time Banner
Thanksgiving Blessings Banner
Christmas Banner
- 1/4 yard cut of 11 fabrics from Moda's "Giddy" Collection by Sandy Gervais for Banner Flags, Yoyo's, and Covered Buttons
- 1/4 Yard Red Plaid for Non Bias Binding Strip
- Moda Wool Basics (Brown, Snow & Pinkie Coral)
- Aunt Lydia's Crochet Thread (Size 3-Scarlett #0006)
- Heavyweight Heat N' Bond
3/4″ Covered Buttons by Dritz (need 12)
Orange Yoyo Maker by Clover (make 12)
Assorted Red Buttons by Buttons Galore (need 44 or more)
Part One: Making 11 Banner Flags
1. Choose 11 fabrics from Moda's "Giddy" Collection by Sandy Gervais
2. Open each 1/4 yard piece of fabric and press.
3. Leave each 1/4 yard folded and lay it out on the cutting board then using a rotary cutter and acrylic ruler, cut off the selvage edges. Then cut a rectangle from each of the 11 fabrics measuring 5 1/2″ x 7″ you will get two rectangles per fabric and two rectangles measuring 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ after squaring up the ends as seen in picture below. The leftover rectangle measuring 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ I cut into four 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″squares (per fabric) for a total of 44 little 2 1/2″ squares. FYI: I fussy cut the striped print because I wanted the stripes to be perfectly horizontal instead of vertical.
4. Print and cut out the Banner Flag Pattern.
5. Lay Banner Flag Pattern on each set of 2 like fabrics with the curved edge just touching one edge of fabric as seen in picture.
6. Cut the fabric along the curved edge of pattern. Repeat for remaining 10 fabrics.
7. Take one set of like fabrics and match with right sides together. Repeat for remaining 10 fabrics.
8. Sew outer edge of each curved flag seam using a 1/4″ seam allowance, starting from top right side down and around the curve and back up to the top left side. I like to chain stitch the pieces to save on thread.
9. Do NOT sew the top edge of curved flags (unfinished edge will be sewn into binding).
10. Clip Curves before turning right side out.
11. Turn right sides out and press.
Part Two: Making the Wool Circles and Letters
- 6 Ivory wool scalloped circles ( 3 3/4″ )
- 5 Brown wool scalloped circles ( 3 3/4″ )
- 11 Pinky Salmon Wool Letters (1-H • 1-U • 1-G • 4-S's • 1-& • 1-K • 1-I • 1-E)
- Aunt Lydia's Size 3 Crochet Thread in Scarlet Red
I used my Sizzix Big Shot Shape Cutting Machine to cut out the wool letters and the wool Scalloped Circles. The Sizzix Big Shot Shape Cutting Machine (see links provided) is readily available and the scalloped circle is also available for purchase from the Sizzix Website but the letters I used are a much older set that I've had for a many years now. I've included a few fonts that are similar to the font I used. Check out the "Printer Friendly Format" that you can use to download the patterns for the letters and the banner flags along with the project tutorial.
1. First lay down the acrylic cutting pad then place the Scalloped Circle Die facing up.
2. Center and place wool or fabric or paper on top of the cutting die.
3. Place the second acrylic cutting pad on top of the stack.
4. Rotate handle to roll the stack through the Sizzix Big Shot Shape Cutting Machine. Remove top acrylic cutting pad to expose the cut piece of wool, fabric, or paper.
5. The steps for cutting the letters is basically the same as the scalloped circle except that you will need to make sure that your Heat N' Bond paper is facing up so after the letters have been cut they will face the right direction after taking off the paper.
6. Make sure that you have all the pieces stacked in the correct order before rolling through the cutting machine.
7. After you roll the stack through the cutting machine remove the acrylic cutting pad to expose the cut wool letters.
8. Separate the letters from the rectangle of wool then remove the paper backing.
9. Place a letter in the center of each scalloped circle making sure to follow the color order of the circles. Fuse the letters to the scalloped circles following the directions on the Heat N' Bond
10. Use the size 3 crochet thread to sew on the scalloped circles. The circles are stitched through both layers of the fabric flag. Make sure the beginning and ending knots are hidden on the inside of the flag. Sew this before the banner flags are attached and sewn into the binding strip.
Part Three: Making the Binding Strip
1. Cut 3 Strips measuring 2 1/2″ x Width of Fabric for a total of approximately 120″ of binding FYI: Normally I would make bias binding strips but the plaid fabric is printed to appear as it would if you were to cut bias strips so just cut them on the straight of grain to retain that bias look.
2. Sew seams together to create one continuous strip.
3. Lay strip lengthwise on ironing board.
4. Fold fabric in half: length to length and press.
5. Open. Take bottom raw edge and fold toward pressed center. Press fold. Repeat for the opposite edge and press fold.
6. Now fold pressed edges together to encase the raw edges of binding inside.
7. Give binding another good press.
Part Four: Putting Together the Banner
1. Take your Binding Strip and find the center by folding it end-to-end. Then mark the center with a pin.
2. Find the Curved Flag that goes in the middle of banner. In this case, it's the letter "K".
3. Open the binding strip. The flags will be sandwiched in between the opening of the binding strip. Place the center of the center flag in the center of the binding strip.
4. Close binding strip over the flags and pin each in place.
5. The Spacing between each flag is 1″.
6. Make sure flags are in correct order H • U • G • S • & • K • I • S • S • E • S.
7. Sew a narrow seam along the edge of binding strip to encase the flags inside.
Part Five: Embellishing the Banner
12 Covered Buttons (Size 3/4″)
Orange Yoyo Maker (Large)
Assorted Red Buttons (need at least 33-I used 44)
This part of the tutorial is totally optional, although it does add a lot of cuteness and pizazz to the banner. You so want to do it, right? It did take me several hours to make the yoyo's, the covered buttons, and then to attach them to the banner. Plus, I had to sew on the 44 red buttons but, it was totally worth it!
FYI: I bought my set of 300 buttons at the craft store a few years back but you can get the same set of buttons HERE.
To make the 3/4″ covered buttons for the centers of the yoyo's I used some of the plaid fabric in brown, red and pink. Follow the directions on the package for making covered buttons.
I also used the leftover fabric to make the 12 yoyo's that are sewn in between each flag. I used all of the fabrics and one of the brown fabrics I used twice. Follow the directions inside the Yoyo package for making the yoyo's.
1 Hugs & Kisses Valentine Banner but you could make a 2nd one too!
Happy Valentines Day
Hugs & Kisses,
Kim Walus

Clean Diesel – Quieter, smoother, faster
Many may still hold an age-old image of diesel trucks and lorries with dirty black smoke. However, Clean Diesel technology has banished that stereotype, holding a lot more promise for the future.
The world's first series-production passenger car with a diesel engine – the Mercedes-Benz 260D – was introduced in February 1936 at the Berlin Motor Show, with 30 per cent more economy than a petrol engine.
Since then, diesel cars have evolved and come a long way.

Audi A1 e-tron experience: Living the Electric Dream
Text by Cheryl Tay
Photos by Adrian Wong and courtesy of Audi
I've always felt that electric cars would suit the Singapore cityscape well, because we are only that big and an electric car would be great for those who commute mainly from home to work, plus a few errands. It will take time before electric cars would become mainstream in Singapore but there is no stopping of carmakers from conducting their research.
With a focus on future mobility, Audi is developing drive electrification and one such product of theirs is the Audi A1 e-tron. The A1 e-tron is basically a plug-in hybrid version of the A1. It is an electric car that has a single 254cc rotary engine sitting in the back.

Can a girl be too muscular?
Passionate about cars and motorsports, Cheryl Tay is a familiar face in prominent local, regional as well as international automotive titles. More of her at www.cheryl-tay.com. She also happens to be a recent gym and fitness convert. Here she meets a female weightlifting buff who is a lot more muscular than your average girl — or guy, for that matter.
I first heard of Melissa Sarah Wee from fellow gym-going friends, who warned me not to train too hard lest I start looking like her.
So I checked her out on Instagram and my jaw dropped.
Melissa is not a bodybuilder or a fitness trainer by profession, but she has the kind of physique that will put many guys to shame (that is not my goal, by the way).
Curious to find out more about her and how much effort it took to get that body, I approached her for an interview, where she chatted freely about her journey.

Tonight is the first night of thrilling professional basketball action; a welcome pick me up for put-upon Redskins fans eager to embrace the warm mediocrity the Wizards are likely to deliver. Time for some regular season predictions!
In the West, I think the Lakers will have the best record followed by (in order) Portland, San Antonio, Dallas, Denver, Utah, and Houston as the remaining playoff teams. In the East, it's Cleveland then Orlando, Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, Washington, and Philadelphia. Lakers will almost certainly come out of the West and Cleveland will likely bring home LeBron's first championship ring.
Looking at the ESPN "expert" predictions it strikes me as slightly insane that people are underestimating a team that features LeBron James and Shaq — these aren't obscure, neglected, underrated guys. Last years Cavs had the best record in the league and they substantially upgraded their personnel during the offseason.
Forgot about New Orleans!

Hi, I'm a JAWS user, and I put my cursor on the text I think should be the label and use Insert + Shift + F1, which gives a listing of elements, starting at the inner-most one.

If it does not jump into the input field either there is no label element, or it is not linked correctly (a common error).

H4C6 gene
H4 clustered histone 6
The information on this page was automatically extracted from online scientific databases.
From NCBI Gene:
Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a replication-dependent histone that is a member of the histone H4 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the large histone gene cluster on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
From UniProt:
Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
From UniProt:
Chromosomal aberrations involving HISTONE H4 is a cause of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-cell NHL). Translocation t(3;6)(q27;p21), with BCL6.
Cytogenetic Location: 6p22.2, which is the short (p) arm of chromosome 6 at position 22.2

bypassing it's protection against CSRF
Risk: Medium Critical
Vendor Status: Vendor has a released an updated version

Quote from http://www.phpmyadmin.net
"phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the
administration of MySQL over the Web. Currently it can create and
drop databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields,
execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields, manage privileges,
export data into various formats and is available in 50 languages."
During an audit of phpMyAdmin's protection against CSRF: Cross Site
Request Forgeries we discovered that there were multiple ways to
bypass the protection.
The failure of phpMyAdmin's CSRF protection obviously means that a
potential attacker can use CSRF attacks to trick the browser of a
phpMyAdmin user to execute any kind of SQL queries on the victims
database server.
phpMyAdmin uses a random token that is stored within the user's
session to protect against Cross Site Request Forgeries. CSRF
basically means that a website tricks the browser of a visiting
user into issuing HTTP requests against another site that does
ensure, that the request was intended.
In case of phpMyAdmin a CSRF vulnerability obviously means that
another site could trick the browser of a phpMyAdmin user into
issuing arbitrary SQL queries against his database.
In phpMyAdmin the CSRF protection works like this
1) Start PHP's Session Handling
2) Is there already a token assigned to the session?
-> No: create a random token
3) Is supplied token equal to session token?
-> No: unset() all request variables not in white-list
While this design could actually work the implementation in
phpMyAdmin was vulnerable to multiple attacks because before
and during the 3 steps mentioned several modifications to the
request variable arrays are made and these variables get
globalised. (This is done within the PHP code and has nothing
to do with register_globals)
The attacks we found attack different phases of the CSRF
protection. The following is an overview of the vulnerabilities
within the 3 phases. For each phase several different attacks
are possible. Several of the attacks require GPC variables
with names that are equal to PHP's superglobals, therefore
these attacks are automatically stopped by our Suhosin extension.
[-- Token Verification --]
The token verification could be tricked because there existed
several flaws in the globalisation routine that allowed
destroying the content of the session variables. Additionally
the special handling of session variables during while
register_globals is activated allowed directly setting the
session token from within the URL.
Obviously it is very easy to "guess" the required token when
the token is empty or is set to a value of his choice.
[-- Determine which variables to unset --]
The _REQUEST array was used to determine which variables should
be unset() but phpMyAdmin contained intended and unintended ways
that allowed overwriting the content of the _REQUEST array.
In the new version all GPC arrays are used for this process and
the unintended way to destroy superglobal arrays within the
globalisation was closed.
[-- Unset variables --]
Unset() is a dangerous function because older PHP versions
(that are still installed on most servers) contained
vulnerabilities that allowed bypassing it.
For further information take a look at:
Proof of Concept:
The Hardened-PHP Project is not going to release exploits for
this vulnerability to the public.
Disclosure Timeline:
23. September 2006 - Contacted phpMyAdmin developers by email
01. October 2006 - Updated phpMyAdmin was released
01. October 2006 - Public Disclosure
It is strongly recommended to upgrade to the newest version of
phpMyAdmin 126.96.36.199 which you can download at:
As usual we very strongly recommend to install our Suhosin PHP
extension. It disallows request variables with the same name
as PHP superglobal arrays. This stops several of the attacks
described in this advisory.

DALLAS — The former financial adviser for ex-NFL quarterback Vince Young said he arranged a seven-figure loan for Young during the 2011 lockout because the player wanted to throw himself a $300,000 birthday party, though he was running low on funds.
Ronnie Peoples of Raleigh, N.C., said under oath during a videotaped deposition last month he contacted New York-based Pro Player Funding LLC about the loan after being informed that Young already had paid for the party.
The deposition was taken as part of a proceeding in which the former University of Texas star is challenging the validity of a $1.7 million judgment against him.
A transcript of the deposition was obtained by the Associated Press.
Young's attorney says Peoples' account is inaccurate.

During the ITM Cup, new Chiefs midfielder Bundee Aki would have had few troubles producing a skite tape to impress the coaching staff of the Super Rugby champions.
There was a wealth of material as he helped his Counties Manukau side win the Championship, perhaps best highlighted by a try against Southland in round one at the end of August. Aki took a ball on the cut from former Manurewa High School first XV team-mate Tim Nanai-Williams, 10m inside his own half.
He scythed through the Southland defence as if escaping henchmen in a James Bond film. Tacklers clutched air as Aki finally planted the ball centimetres from the right-hand corner flag. It seemed appropriate he was wearing a jersey sponsored by Auto Control Ltd. He resembled a hip-hop version of Forrest Gump gliding to the line.
Aki was signed to the Chiefs within a month.
This season, the 22-year-old will contest the No 12 jersey vacated by Sonny Bill Williams. With Jackson Willison moving to the Blues, Aki's main competitor will be Charlie Ngatai. Richard Kahui is expected to play centre, while utility Andrew Horrell is another midfield option should injury strike.
Williams' absence poses a challenge for the Chiefs as they seek successive titles. Aki is wise enough to avoid trying to emulate all his predecessor's skills.
"They're big shoes to fill and I would struggle to match Sonny Bill for size. Instead I'm trying to evolve my game by working hard on my skills and my weaknesses - like connecting in defence.
"I think one of my strengths is my pace. Counties Manukau helped me use it around the contact area. I'm not a big guy so I preferred using my footwork to fight through [defences]. The important thing is nailing down that No 12 spot."
The ITM Cup off-season initially took its toll. Aki arrived at pre-season training weighing around 100kg and blaming a regular intake of corned beef, taro and chop suey.
He has since returned to what he considers his optimum playing weight of 92kg thanks to the Chiefs fitness regime, which includes activities like Thursday's 56.6km swim-run-bike-walk from Waihi Beach to Mt Te Aroha.
Aki has received heavyweight mentoring in recent months before his Chiefs arrival. Counties Manukau coach Tana Umaga offered his backing.
"He's one of the best helpers I could get in my position," Aki says. "Having a legend telling you what to do and how to play the game is one of the best things I can cherish. His main advice is 'don't be afraid to have a crack. Never doubt yourself because even if you make a mistake, you can always adjust'."
Aki says he also benefits from the presence of Counties Manukau team-mates Nanai-Williams, Augustine Pulu and Mahonri Schwalger.
Chiefs co-captain Craig Clarke says Aki brings plenty of energy: "It seeps out of him and it's already helping shape this year's group. He's right into things every day, laughing along but focused at the same time."
Talking to Aki, there is a sense he is grounded, something that comes from experiencing life in the Monday-to-Friday work force, rather than playing in a rugby bubble from school to ITM Cup to Super Rugby.
Aki took a year out from pursuing his full-time professional rugby dream in 2011. He worked as a bank teller at Westpac to earn the money needed to adjust to life with a young family. Bundee and fiancee Kayla have two children, Armani and Adrianna, whose initials appear on his taped wrists when he's playing.
"I took that time away to look after my family. It helped me grow as a person. Having children around helped my time management," he says with a wry grin.
"To support my family, I had to sacrifice the thing I liked most, which was rugby. I always believed I could fight my way through it."

McCarthy solid vs. Halos in second spring start
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Brandon McCarthy put together his second good start of the spring for the D-backs.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Brandon McCarthy put together his second good start of the spring for the D-backs.
The right-hander allowed three hits in five scoreless innings in the D-backs' 3-2 loss to the Angels on Monday at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.View Full Game Coverage
McCarthy has now allowed just one run in nine innings this spring.
The Angels got on the board in the sixth when Kole Calhoun drew a one-out walk.
D-backs reliever Eury De la Rosa tried to pick Calhoun off first and threw the ball past first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, which allowed Calhoun to advance to third.
J.B. Shuck followed with a sacrifice fly to right to score Calhoun.
Angels starter Garrett Richards was sharp in his spring debut as he allowed two hits and fanned a pair while tossing three scoreless innings.
Richards said he's "just trying not to be a max-effort guy. Just trying to control counts, keep the ball down in the zone, keep a clean, simple delivery, get ahead of guys. But for the most part, just really staying in control of myself and just driving the ball downhill."
The game was one of the ones in Major League Baseball today testing out the new instant-replay system and it did not take long for it to come into play.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia challenged a call in the second inning when Luis Jimenez was ruled out stealing second. After a two-minute, 31-second review, the umpiring crew upheld the decision.
Monday also marked the first appearance of the spring for closer Ernesto Frieri, who watched his wife give birth to the couple's second daughter Friday in Phoenix. Frieri followed Richards to the mound and threw a scoreless inning.
Collin Cowgill went 2-for-2 for the Angels, who tacked on runs in the eighth and ninth innings. John Hester's bunt single in the eighth plated Shuck to make it 2-0, while Andrew Romine's RBI single in the ninth made it a three-run cushion.
The D-backs struck for two runs in the ninth on Nick Ahmed's sacrifice fly and pinch-hitter Rudy Flores' RBI double, which hit high off the center-field wall and missed being a home run by inches.
Up next: The D-backs take to the road to play the Padres at 1:05 p.m. MT at Peoria Sports Complex. Randall Delgado will make the start in place of Bronson Arroyo, who was scratched with lower back stiffness. Addison Reed, who is competing for the closer's job with J.J. Putz, is also scheduled to see action.

There has been much discussion and confusion about global climate change. With an upcoming lecture and planetarium show on the topic, you have an opportunity to discover the facts and whether or not you should be concerned about the climate. This month we invite you to learn more about ice and glaciers, and the effect these have on our planet.
Ice Planet: Earth
On Wednesday, May 26 at 6:30 p.m. Dr. Mark Fahnstock will discuss the changes of our planet's ice cover, specifically how it has changed over the past year, decade, and century. Dr. Fahnstock, who studies the glaciers of Greenland and the Antarctic, explains his research to the public. Don't miss his lecture and the chance to learn more about global warming and our planet's weather.
Ice Worlds
If you are interested in global climate change, the Poles are the place to watch because changes there can have a dramatic effect on the whole planet. When ice turns to water, it changes from a reflector to an absorber of solar radiation. When water turns to water vapor, it becomes a powerful greenhouse gas. When water vapor forms clouds, it becomes a reflector once again.
In 2007-2009, countries around the world celebrated the International Polar Year with expanded funding for research on Earth's changing poles. On Memorial Day weekend, the Burke Baker Planetarium opens a new Ice Worlds show featuring what has been learned about the Arctic and Antarctic in the past two years.
Understanding the role of ice on our world is the first step in understanding how water amplifies any climate change. Ice Worlds is a beautiful show, including ice imagery from Earth's poles and from the different ice-covered worlds in our solar system.
