About William Crossey
the engine will fit in no bother and run fine also with all the same sensors etc but you wont see much gain out of it unless you get a 1.4 ecu to run it also.,, all those engines are the same aslone as they are the black rocker cover, ive recently put a 1.6 focus engine into a 1.4 ghia because i didnt have any 1.4's left, and left it runing from the 1.4 ecu.. run alot quicker but if i had have got a zs fiesta ecu it would have all the potensal. personally id put a 16 into it as it wont be of any or much of a differnt cost and then hunt the breakers and get a zetec s key ecu and clocks and give it a proper upgrade as it will run with the same wiring loom.
you could do the rear wiper arm to the flush plastic arm and blade, think its an astra rear arm and a 08 onwards blade. though i think you can buy a bosh arm and blade the exact size now rather than shoping around for both seperate.
the cam belt on a 1.4 tdci is 125,000 though id change it a little earlier and its best to change it as a kit changing bearings/tensioners also as these can fail as well as the belt brake.
having fixed hundreds of ford flood damaged engines from the newer engines rite back to the older engines i can tell you that only a small amount of water was injested and has bent the piston connecting rod ever so slightly and most likely rite across the line and thats why your engine runes fine and doesnt seam out of power, basicly changing the timing slightly but not enough to cause upset, now for the ticking, a complete over haul or engine replacement is your only way out because what has happened is the rod is bent ever so slightly so that when the piston is rising to top dead center the rod is not interfering but tapping the bottom of the cylender and thats the tap, if its out of your own pocket drive on as it mostlikely wont fail rather just annoy you. if it fails your going to need a replacement lump(bottom end)
1.4 will not need re codeing and dont worrie about the part numbers as long as the makes are all kept the same.. use another set of copper washers as the last ones have been squashed to the tightening point for the prevous seal, also if you didnt replace the locating shim the last time replace it this time, thats the plastic spacer part at the top of the injector when fitted as that stops any movement to gain a better seal.
was wondering if there was any guys on here with experiance on these 1600 pug engines. i was told a while back that the fiesta engine could be upgraded slightly for a little more bottom end responce by upgrading the turbo to the 115bhp focus turbo though the injectors would need to be changed to the 155 brake injectors also to be able to supply fraction more fuel for the added boost. i know theres not many would do it as its very costly for a turbo and 4 injectors but im in the position of being left the 115brake gear after doing an engine in a water damaged focus. so my question is has anyone come across this before or has anyone ever done it before.
engine systems fault is regurly caused by the car failing to start and or low flat battery, if you jump start the car and go for a drive to charge the battery the engine systems fault will display the whole length of the drive then when you swith the car off and restart the car it will cancel the error message and alls good, could have been caused by a light left on or a door left on a latch etc, newer fords need to detect over the 12 volts to to be able to turn the starter and not cause any warnings and if your battery dorps even just a little most systems dont even allow the starter to turn even slowly..
having a crack filled will not work as it will most likely vibrate and re crack, the best and most practical meathod would be to look the yellow pages or local business phone book and check for a plascic weilders, remove the bumper/few bolts each side accesed from under the front wheels after you remove the splash gards/inner wheel arch.. once you have your bumper off then leave it to have the crack weilded then find a painters/body shop to finnish and paint the bumper, rebuild your grilles etc back in then fit your freashly painted bumper back on the car.. if you get a new bumper you have to unbolt and rebolt the new one and have it painted any way so few quid for a plastic weild versus 400 odd for a new bumper.. and if your toe eye cover doesnt fit nice any more then a new ones only about a fiver in ford.
you cannot fit an mp3 cable to that radio unless you get an after market box thing but if that was the case and in wanting to get bluetooth hands free as well then the best option would be a parrot hands free kit with the ipod/iphone connectivity/ music streeming option.. you buy what is called a sot lead meaning it plugs into you radio and into the car wiring leaving iso plugs to connect to the parrot kit then when the phone rings the audio comes through the car speakers and when the music streeming is selected then it also comes through the car speakers.
its very simple and im supprised a more active member has not taken the time to reply, when you do the proceedure and you press the button on the remote to programe it and have comframation of the second beep simply press a button on the second remote and it will then beep too then either wait a few seconds for the learn proceedure to save or put a key back into the ignition and turn on and off again. so to cap it again press one remote hear a beep then press the second remote hear another beep walla both done lol.
obd 11 was only compliant od diesal from 2004 onwards although some cars it connects to from around the 2000 mark, on petrols obd11 was 1999. have come across this myself where 2002 tdci fiesta an obd code reader will connect no bother but a 2002 pug 206 with same 14. tdci(hdi) engine it will not connect to at all, then 2004 206 it will connect as there is differnt ecu..
did you ever find out if you could get your mondeo done.. i may have a solution if you havent got sorted, it will not give you a second key but is a cheap way to turn your exsisting key into keyless entry.. thats entry not keyless start like the newer mondeo. firstly buy either a working second hand or even new remote, turn your key think its 4 times on and off and on the forth time there will be a beep from the dash, remove the key then press a button on the remote then you will hear a second beep indicating it was initalised ok. go to your local ford dealer and then get them to cut you a remote key blade also known as a horse shoe blade. now you will have a remote that works the locking and a blade to turn the ignition but will not work the start the engine till programed to the ecu, pop open the remote and remove the chip from inside and do away with it as it wont be needed, at the end of your old key remove the blue cap at the bottom of the key and slide out a white part that houses the chip belonging to your vehicle, pop your chip into the remote and put remote into key blade then walla your single key is now a single remote key..
mondeo wires if heated do indeed need to be made longer, mist jets are great job and very easy to fit. when buying go to ford dealer because the ones above at 11 quid (non heated) i bought for my wifes fiesta and cost me just under 6 quid and the heated jets were only 20p more expencive. fleebay can be quite expencive for some things if you dont realise.
dont know if you got your problem sorted but the older mk3 mondeos had the big spring type auto tensioner at the lever, simply put alot of them didnt work even after the millions of recalls and the second recall for the same thing given them a new lever with a tighter spring and even after the calaper recalls for the cable brackets, the only cure for an older mk3 that will not adjust was to get a newer mk 3 lever with the manul screw adjust and fit that along with 2 new cables (after market are all good cables) set of pads. if your mondeo has the screw adjuster under the car then change the cables as they are common to seize up and new pads. if all done at once you wont belive the differnce. i worked in a ford dealer when all the recalls were done and swear 3 recalls for the same problem and on some of them that were that bad fomoco even forked out for the second revised lever with the screw adjuster.
how did you get on with your washers, did you find out if they were a fail, i know if you have high discharge lights then if you have leveling motors fitted then they need to definetly work but as for the washers im not sure on,i thought they just needed to be secure as for the rule with loose trim and free from leaks.

NASA Honors Pioneer Astronaut Alan Shepard With Moon Rock
NASA will posthumously honor Alan B. Shepard Jr., the first American astronaut in space who later walked on the moon, with an Ambassador of Exploration Award for his contributions to the U.S. space program.
Shepard's family members will accept the award on his behalf during a ceremony at 5:30 p.m. EDT on Thursday, April 28, at the U.S. Naval Academy Museum, located at 74 Greenbury Point Road in Annapolis, Md. His family will present the award to the museum for permanent display. NASA's Chief Historian Bill Barry will represent the agency at the event, which will include a video message from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden.
Shepard, a 1945 graduate of the Naval Academy, was one of NASA's original seven Mercury astronauts selected in April 1959. On May 5, 1961, he was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., aboard the Freedom 7 spacecraft on a suborbital flight that carried him to an altitude of 116 miles.Shepard made his second spaceflight as the commander of Apollo 14 from Jan. 31 to Feb. 9, 1971. He was accompanied on the third lunar landing by astronauts Stuart Roosa and Edgar Mitchell. Maneuvering the lunar module "Antares" to a landing in the hilly upland Fra Mauro region of the moon, Shepard and Mitchell deployed and activated a number of scientific instruments and collected almost 100 pounds of lunar samples for return to Earth.
Reporters interested in covering the award ceremony must contact the Naval Academy's public affairs office at 410-293-2292 or [email protected] by noon, Wednesday, April 27, for access information.
NASA is giving the Ambassador of Exploration Award to the first generation of explorers in the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs for realizing America's goal of going to the moon. The award is a moon rock encased in Lucite, mounted for public display.
The rock is part of the 842 pounds of lunar samples collected during six Apollo missions from 1969 to 1972. The astronauts or family members receiving the award present it to a museum of their choice, where the moon rock is placed on public display.
For pictures of the NASA Ambassador of Exploration Award, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/AofEphotos.html
Shepard retired from NASA in 1974 and passed away in July 1998. For more biographical information, visit: http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/shepard-alan.html

Climate Projection for the 21st Century: Earth Will Warm by 3 Degrees
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts. Carbon dioxide emissions over the next century could increase global average temperatures 3 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) while wintertime precipitation over the U.S. Southwest and Great Plains could rise by 40% according to latest results from a new climate system model developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Meanwhile, the new model suggests that reducing the buildup of carbon dioxide concentrations over the next century by one half could largely dry up the extra rain and snow, and slow the global temperature rise to 2 degrees F (1.5 degrees C). The study was funded in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF), NCAR's primary sponsor. "The results from the NCAR model offer new insight into the behavior of Earth's climate system in response to human activity," says Cliff Jacobs, program director in NSF's division of atmospheric sciences, which funds NCAR. The NCAR model simulated the earth's climate from 1870 to 1990--then continued the simulation to 2100 under two different scenarios. The first was a "business-as-usual" increase in greenhouse gases in which atmospheric carbon dioxide doubles over the next century. In the second, carbon dioxide increases are stabilized at 50 percent above today's concentrations. In the first projection, changes in precipitation vary markedly by region and by season. Within the United States, the greatest increases occur in the Southwest and Great Plains in winter and substantially exceed the range of natural variability. Precipitation changes are reduced when carbon dioxide emissions are limited, according to the model. Global average temperature climbs by 3 degrees F (2 degrees C) for the business as usual scenario and 2 degrees F (1.5 degrees C) when carbon dioxide emissions are limited. These changes are three to four times larger than the warming that has occurred since 1900. NCAR scientist Tom Wigley says, "These results show that we will experience not only future climate change, but also the results of policies to reduce these changes, in ways that are not simply related to changes in the global mean temperature. Policy decisions about reducing greenhouse emissions should not, therefore, be dictated by projected changes in global mean temperature alone." The model shows no clear separation between the business-as usual and the stabilization cases until around 2060, even though the carbon dioxide concentrations begin to diverge in 2010. The half-century lag until the changes in greenhouse emissions begin to affect the climate is the result of large thermal inertia in the earth's climate system, especially in the oceans, say the scientists. The NCAR model's special features help push the science of climate modeling into new territory. It is one of the world's first global models not to require special corrections to keep the simulated climate from drifting to an unrealistic state. It is also one of only a handful of models in the world capable of realistically simulating the chemistry and transport of individual greenhouse gases and sulfur compounds. The model employs a more realistic scenario for future emissions of sulfur dioxide, a form of industrial pollution that cools the climate. Assuming that societies take steps to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions over the next century, the scientists incorporate this decline into the model. The sulfur dioxide cooling effect gradually diminishes, allowing the simultaneous greenhouse warming to emerge more clearly. -NSF-

Changed String, char to just persist the bytes, meaning that they are readable when viewing in HBase shell. If user wants to retain existing data then they specify "serialized" against the String/char field
Andy, can you please do the same for the Wrapper classes of the primitive data types, as Id fields need to be nullable you have to use the wrapper class objects (Long, Integer, Double, Character, ...) instead of the actual primitive data types (long, int, double, char, ...) and my feeling is it would make sense for them too, to be
a) readable in the HBase shell b) reduce the storage size Peter, if you want that then you can easily contribute the code ... to get hold of the bytes() of a wrapper and store it, and vice-versa ... so that it is readable. i.e StoreFieldManager, FetchFieldManager, StoreEmbeddedFieldManager, FetchEmbeddedFieldManager.

Marilyn Moment – The spring-summer issue of London-based publication Used Magazine pays homage to the late Marilyn Monroe with a cover story starring British impersonator Suzie Kennedy. Stylist Katy Lassen selects retro inspired pieces from the collections of Prada, Comme des Garcons, Dries Van Noten and others for Nik Hartley's dynamic studio images. With Marilyn's trademark smile and platinum blonde curls, Suzie channels the iconic actress to a tee. / Makeup by Michelle Campbell, Nails by Viola Von Cydonia
Smile is a bit cheezy but otherwise well done.
Yeah finally something really beautiful
Suzie makes an amazing Marilyn! After seeing so many models and actresses take on this theme with varying levels of success, it is refreshing to see someone who really does look like Marilyn Monroe
Excellent! Suzie Kennedy does a great job of impersonating such a beautiful woman. Hot and sexy, yet tasteful.
Suzie Kennedy, along with Susan Griffiths, are the greatest looking Marilyn's, however, Suzie looks more like Jane Russell to me. I think Susan is more identical to Marilyn.
Agree about Suzie looking more like Jane Russell than MM, especially in the second pic. Almost like when Jane impersonates Marilyn in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes!
i think her teeth are much bigger than marilyn's
almost identical… really cool!
its a doppelganger!!
She looks like Anna Nicole Smith impersonating Marilyn Monroe.
I agree with the two others that say Suzie Kennedy looks like Jane Russell. The shape of the face and especially and most importantly her strong lined nose is absolutely identical to Jane. Susan Griffiths nose and feautures are the only one who looks like Marilyn Monroe to me … Rare in a lookalike. It takes more than only hair and amazing outfits girls … other impersonators think its only about well made clothes lately or hair but lookalike is in the title too but both Susan and Suzie are great and both made an amazing career out of it and helps future lookalikes think its great career move. Other impersonators look more like Madonna or have strong features. Madonna doesnt look like MM. Amazing cover.

Presidential $1 Coin has a Number!
The Presidential Profiles $1 Coin Program is going to feature images of the US presidents in the order they served. Kinda like the State Quarter program.
The BIG NEWS is that the coin is going to have a NUMBER on it!
Here's what the reverse is going to look like:
Presidential $1 Coin Act.
Yay! Numbers on the coinage.
Maybe my Change for Change Campaign can be retired?
Hopefully numbers will start appearing on all US coinage now.

When, oh when, will this country start using dollar coins?! Dollar coins AND two-dollar bills!
Think how many times you buy something and you use two single dollars. Heck, I just bought a cup of coffee from an unnamed massive New Englandy coffee chain that cost $1.85. All that extra effort to whip out that extra bill when I could have used a two! (I know that the two is still in circulation, I'm merely bemoaning it's low profile).BoingBoing's post is funny:

- The Golden Wizard uses the Create Ring and transports them to a different dimension.
- Haruto and Koyomi ended up in Magic Land, a place similar to the real world but all people can use magic. Magic Land's currency is mana, instead of money.
- Wajima's antique shop is now a Wizard Ring shop. He have an assistant, Shiina, an orphan.
- They also met this world's Rinko, Shunpei and others. Kosuke here is a teacher in ancient magic.
- Shiina was targeted by Phoenix, Medusa and Gremlin but defeated by both Kamen Rider Wizard and Beast.
- Emperor Maya call upon the Magic Land residents that Haruto is a renegade and must be killed at sight. He also sent his royal guards to kill him.
- Haruto's friends defend him by transforming to Kamen Rider Mage.
- Minister Orma reveals himself as Kamen Rider Sorcerer, the one who wants to kidnap Koyomi. He created a machine that drains mana from everyone on the planet, only leaving despair in their hearts. Shiina's mother is one of them.
- Orma reveals that he is a Phantom and puts everyone to despair, including Haruto, but he resists it.
- The final fight between Kamen Rider Wizard and Sorcerer ensues. Wizard uses the Finish Strike Ring to become Kamen Rider Wizard Infinity Dragon and defeats Sorcerer.

As I said before in the Kyoryuger movie spoiler, that TV special thing really had spoiled almost every part of both movies, leaving only their final twists kept as secret.
I wonder how people would react if they accidentally watched that special... to just realize they already learn most of what's going on when they finally watch it in theatre *sigh* -

...and here I was expecting any hints that Toei was just trolling us and that Gaim IS really in the film. Oh well.....
Anonymous Says:
So, okay, comment section, let me share some earnest wisdom with you guys regarding your complaints, so you can better avoid spoilers in the future:
Toei spoils plot details on a regular basis when it comes to movies, so I'd recommend avoiding any sort of specials on them, as well as the show openings if you really feel the need. These aren't spoilers to them, but are moreso treated as a means of getting people hyped. In fact, magazine scans in general can spoil many things. These are what you want to avoid if you don't want spoilers.
Likewise, when a Rider cameo is happening in the movie, TRUST me, you would've known about it before the movie even premiered. These are not things Toei keeps secret, but instead will make a big deal out of, once again, to get people hyped.
Hopefully that helps you guys avoid spoilers for future movies. :)

If Sin Were Blue
- 2006 Nov 06
David Klinghoffer offers a wise perspective on Ted Haggard's fall. The entire article deserves a close reading because he deals forthrightly with the question of whether or not homosexuality is inborn. In a sense, he answers yes, because all humans are born with a bias toward sin. Theologians call this the doctrine of Total Depravity. That doesn't mean that all of us are as bad as we could possibly be, but it does mean that sin has impacted every part of the human personality--body, soul, mind, spirit, will and emotions. As one writer put it, if sin were blue, we'd be blue all over. And all of us would be different shades of blue in different parts of our personality: sky blue, dark blue, powder blue, cornflower blue, cobalt blue, cerulean blue, and so on. The Wikipedia entry on shades of blue lists 24 different kinds of blue, including periwinkle and ultramarine. If sin were blue, each of us would be fully blue all over, all the time, in a variety of different shades. There wouldn't be even the tiniest inch of human personality without some trace of blue.
Ted Haggard sinned because he is a sinner. He is blue all over and his letter to New Life Church makes it clear that he has seen the dark side of his own life for a long, long time. His fall may be a blessing in disguise to the American church if it produces a healthy sense of self-examination and a new humility in all of our leaders. It will be even better if God uses this to remind us that the first step in salvation is to admit you are a sinner. There is hope for Ted Haggard just as there is hope for all of us who are "blue all over" because of our sin.

A new public service campaign breaking next week for Austin, Texas' Live Tobacco-Free program makes the point that secondhand smoke is a danger wherever it occurs, indoors or out. Conceived by Sherry Matthews Advocacy Marketing, Austin, and directed by Scott McCullough, the new 30-second spot, in English and Spanish versions, shows a large tanker truck driving through Austin as a worker in a haz-mat suit sprays unsuspecting residents with thick, billowy clouds of noxious fumes.
People at an outdoor restaurant, kids playing in a park and pedestrians strolling along a path react in horror and disgust as they are enveloped by the sooty smoke. The voiceover notes that secondhand cigarette smoke contains 7,000 chemicals, many harmful to humans, and directs consumers to the Live Tobacco-Free Austin website for more information.
Sherry Matthews executive creative director Charles Webre says that the dangers of secondhand smoke in outdoor environments has never before been the target of a public service campaign. "We're covering new ground," he notes. "People are aware that secondhand smoke is dangerous, but they often don't think of it as a problem outside the context of an enclosed, indoor environment."
McCullough, a well-known commercial, music video and film director whose credits include ads for GMC, Amtrak and Jeep, says he was attracted to the project both because of his own concern over the problem of secondhand smoke, and because he loved the premise. "I thought the tanker truck with the guy in the haz-mat suit was a great visual," McCullough observes. "And I liked the idea of creating a story about a menace to society that people are a bit naïve to."

text: The top stories this week are Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, StarHawk, and Hitman! That's right it's time for your weekly wrap up on The Daily DL.com. Nintendo dropped the price of their console known as the Wii. (Source: Nintendo) Maybe you've heard of it. Now you'll be able to get the soon to be extremely outdated piece of hardware for the low low price of $150 dollars. Be the laugh of the neighborhood when everyone else is getting the Wii 2, and your cheap ass just got an old outdated dust collector. Hey, at least it comes with Mario Kart… and a steering wheel now. Something else you'll throw away in six months. Some Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 artwork was leaked onto the net. (Source: HBG)This included box art, a logo, and some kind of elite stamp with a bunch of guns behind it. These new leaked images that Activision refused to comment on are a great time to introduce my new segment. I'M CALLING IT. FAKE. There is no way that Activision would release such crap. Especially that Elite stamp. I mean who in their right mind would do that to the Call of Duty logo. It just looks ugly and that's why I'm calling it. It's Fake! Nice try Photoshop nerds. Moving on, it would seem that Kotaku had an exclusive this Friday looking at Modern Warfare 3. (Source: Kotaku) Anyway, you might remember Kotaku as that website you went to before they let a drawing two chimpanzees made in their feces dictate their re-design. They revealed that Modern Warfare 3 will arrive November 8th, 2011 and will find us fighting wars in New York, Paris, and London. Feel free to hop on by Kotaku to see the full story, and thank them for ruining my new segment. Jerks. Of course the week wouldn't be complete without talking a little bit about Sony. This week… almost a month after the outage began Sony sent out a nice letter to the companies that lost millions and millions of dollars due to the outage. (Source: DTOID) They said "we're sorry" and outlined what they'll be doing to make it all better. Way to be on the ball, and professional guys. Speaking of being on the ball, Bloomberg said that Sony's goal was to have PSN back up by the 31st which Sony quickly slapped down. (Source: CVG) A conversation took place where a Sony rep said the following. Whoa whoa whoa. We have no fucking clue when the network is going to be back up oh my god why did you say that we're so fucked I'm going to get fired. Do you know how pissed Capcom why are you writing this down? Then the transcriber stopped writing. So to recap… the consensus is that Sony still sucks. I'll keep you updated. Ohh yeah. OKAY to be fair they did reveal Starhawk this week. (Source: IGN) Starhawk is new the cool looking space shooter that is the sequel to the online only Warhawk. I've sworn a lot during this show, and I hate using the word awesome, but the best way to describe how Starhawk is looking, is by saying it's looking FUCKING AWESOME. Now get your damn online fixed Sony so I can play it. Seriously There were a few other stories this week I feel I need to hit on, but there short updates so lets do them all as fast as possible. It's afterburner time. 3… 2… 1… Street Fighter X Tekken will be in stores by 2012 and no one cares, because the much better sequel will follow 6 month's later. A new Assassin's creed game was released further raping Ezio. But Altair will be in it making it worthwhile. Someone at 1UP got ripped off buying a green ds lite. In other news, I just made $200 dollars. Brink came out this week and it sucked… on a planet where an almost 70% average review is SUCKING WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU INTERNET? Finally, Dark Souls is going to be harder than ever. How hard? Let's take a look… that boulder killed him that was great and Stop…. decent time, but I think I can do better next week. finally, my biggest piece of news was all about Hitman. A new Hitman has finally been confirmed after a long wait with an extremely short trailer. The Trailer shows Agent 47 tightining a silencer on his gun, a rattle snake coiling a gun, and a brief glimpse at UPC number. And about that UPC number, I've got one more segment for you. I'm callin' it. Didn't see that comin' So you see a UPC in the new Hitman trailer, you enter it online and guess what. It's for a dildo bag. (Source: Gamesradar)I did not see that comin'. I wonder what the marketing guys were thinking of. "Hey bob, we need a upc! What Frank? We Need a UPC Bob. Oh yeah, how about this one? Yeah that should work, where did you get it? Oh I just grabbed the first upc I could find on Google. Thanks Frank. People have weird conversations in my head. Anyway that's all for this week. I did want to let you know that The Daily DL.com is getting some additional contributors now and holy crap we will soon have content every single day so make sure you're checking it out. Also, let me know what you think of the new format! Hate it? Love it? Leave a comment and tell me your thoughts. Until next week, I'm Destin, and that's a wrap.

Looking for marketing ideas for shop12/21
Greetings I'm a 67 yr old semi-retired General and Engineering Contractor. Started out in the late 70's. For the last 15 years I've pretty much been using my shop for engineering work. ( tractor related) -Before that the shop was pretty much for woodwork.
Thank You David 12/22
Sounds like the only overheads you have are electricity and tool maintenance. Your material is fully paid for but there is absolutely no reason to sell it for less then it is worth, especially if it is old or rare. You have years of experience and if you are capable of creating top quality pieces, why not market yourself as boutique, custom and highly experienced. I don't know anything about your gegraphic area or target market but this is the first thought that comes to mind. I say keep your overheads low, quote your product as if you are purchasing materials at full price (definitely don't tell customers it's been lying around for years). Your a one man band, it doesn't take a lot to keep busy. You don't need to market yourself heavily, a website only need be basic with a few pictures to show off your best work. I imagine you have contacts from years ago when you did woodwork. Get back in contact. All you need is to get a few good jobs. Have excellent customer service and one thing will lead to another. Good luck.
Hi David, I would check out wix as a DIY solution for a website They have some really nice templates if you want to hit the ground running. Enjoy this new chapter in your life! http://www.wix.com/
Thank you chipbored and sam
God Bless
How and where you market is somewhat dependent on your skill, product, and product quality. Advertising cutting boards on Craigslist is death. In fact, I consider Craigslist as a place to clean out your garage. If your work has high quality, edgy designs, and is well finished, consider an artist guild or artist co-op gallery. With some of the product list you gave, you will be competing with everybody's uncle with a table saw and a router in his basement. That means incredibly low profit margins since the uncle will give it away. I can't count all the times I hear, "Uncle Anybody does woodworking, I'll have to talk to him." Or, "Jim's cousin Hank made a cutting board once." Today's market is really strong for natural edge slab work. Any slab on hairpin legs sells for really nice money. Hope you didn't rip all that old growth redwood into boards!
Others have put it well. Galleries are mostly flooded and typically charge 50% commission. Good design sells, if you just copy like uncle Harry....... Get some nice things made and displayed, Make as many contacts as you can. Civic groups, church, business people you have had contact with. I'd say get an article about you put in the local news paper but news papers are pretty much a dead item now.
Church business people? Churches are a really tough sell. I used to do it, and they wonder why the price is what it is. You start out with a couple members presenting an idea. Then you present to them, then the whole committee, who then reports to another committee or group of elders. Then the finance committee comes in. Then your competition does the same. It takes about 10 phone calls, and 6 meetings and months of waiting to find out if you win the bid. Just a horrible process for a small businessman.
For small production items like cutting boards, etc. you should put a store up on Etsy.com. its very simple to do and free (they take a percentage of each sale). I have a friend who does custom cutting boards and is doing quite well up there. it takes a while to get noticed, but once you get a few sales in, you will become busy. As for the other things - market yourself locally for custom built-ins or cabinetry. You could also talk to other contractors in your area who maybe don't have the fine woodworking skills you do and see if you can offer them as a complement to what they offer.
Just to follow up on the last comment, I am a CNC shop and job out the stuff that I don't want to do, custom range hoods, open wine racks etc. You may want to look for someone like me to work with on that stuff.
Rich, I didn't suggest selling to churches! The idea is to make as many contacts with PEOPLE as you can. Pass out business cards that list the type of product you are capable of making, on the back side.

This snippet demonstrates how you can send a file (or file-like object) through Django without having to load the whole thing into memory. The FileWrapper will turn the file-like object into an iterator for chunks of 8KB.
This is a full working example. Start a new app, save this snippet as views.py, and add the views to your URLconf. The send_file view will serve the source code of this file as a plaintext document, and the send_zipfile view will generate a Zip file with 10 copies of it.
Use this solution for dynamic content only, or if you need password protection with Django's user accounts. Remember that you should serve static files directly through your web server, not through Django:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 | import os, tempfile, zipfile
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.core.servers.basehttp import FileWrapper
def send_file(request):
Send a file through Django without loading the whole file into
memory at once. The FileWrapper will turn the file object into an
iterator for chunks of 8KB.
filename = __file__ # Select your file here.
wrapper = FileWrapper(file(filename))
response = HttpResponse(wrapper, content_type='text/plain')
response['Content-Length'] = os.path.getsize(filename)
return response
def send_zipfile(request):
Create a ZIP file on disk and transmit it in chunks of 8KB,
without loading the whole file into memory. A similar approach can
be used for large dynamic PDF files.
temp = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
archive = zipfile.ZipFile(temp, 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
for index in range(10):
filename = __file__ # Select your files here.
archive.write(filename, 'file%d.txt' % index)
wrapper = FileWrapper(temp)
response = HttpResponse(wrapper, content_type='application/zip')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=test.zip'
response['Content-Length'] = temp.tell()
return response
More like this

For people on Windows you'll need to specify "read binary" mode for anything other than a text file:

wrapper = FileWrapper(file(filename), "rb")

 - andybak (on August 14, 2008):
-
As far as I know this is the only way to get password protection for files when you are using Django under FCGI (and I assume CGI and SCGI). For people using mod_python, mod_wsgi there are better solutions.

It would be good to get all this protected or dynamic file download info into one place.

- hackeron (on May 7, 2009):
-
Andy, you are saying there are better solutions for people using mod_wsgi? -- Can you list them?

- hackeron (on May 7, 2009):
-
Currently this seems to be broken in latest svn? -- I disabled the conditional GET middlewhere and gzip middlewhere and when I pass a FileWrapper to HttpResponse, it returns a page with content-length 0.

- kun (on July 19, 2011):
-
some code in gzip middleware, which like "len(response.content)" will read the FileWrapper, so after that content length is 0.

Maybe edit gzip middleware, then use your own gzip in settings.py

some examples code: https://github.com/akun/dj-download

Got this working with a few tweaks:

Have You Heard a Blizzard is Coming? NYC Braces For 2010 #Snowmageddon
According to those on the ground, the snow has started to fall in New York City, where blizzards are expected to drop at least a foot of snow on Sunday. Wind and white stuff have grounded flights in the Northeast, including out of New York's JFK and LaGuardia, in addition to neighboring Newark, and the delays will probably bleed on into Monday. Official emergency declarations put estimates between 11 and 16 inches, meaning Twitter is just getting started.
Last year, social media dubbed the biggest storm #snowpocalypse, and the name is already in use again this time around. Some contend that we need a new name, while man about the internet Anthony De Rosa (better known as Soup) has already recommended #snowmagedden, which has yet to pick up steam on Twitter, but seems perfectly serviceable. (UPDATE: The correct spelling should be #snowmageddon -- that one's doing a bit better!) Let's roll with that one unless you can come up with something better in the comments.
In addition to the above hashtags -- for the New Yorker who happens to be sunning in Florida on this holiday weekend -- you can monitor the Fucked in Park Slope Twitter feed, which promises updates (with pictures!) throughout the storm.
(And yes, Netflix Instant it is because the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles game, scheduled for this afternoon in Philly, where 20 inches may come down, has been postponed.)
More weather-based fear-mongering from the New York Times:
The Northeast is expected to get the brunt of the storm. Forecasters issued a blizzard warning for New York City for Sunday and Monday, with a forecast of 11 to 16 inches of snow and strong winds that will reduce visibility to near zero at times. A blizzard warning was also in effect for Rhode Island and most of eastern Massachusetts including Boston, with forecasters predicting 15 to 20 inches of snow. A blizzard warning is issued when snow is accompanied by sustained winds or gusts over 35 mph.
So stay warm and stay safe. Updates to come if anything tragic (or funny!) happens.

2007 Kia Rio
Compare Dealer Clearance Prices and SAVE
2007 Kia Rio Review
A pleasant, comfortable automobile that marks the smallest auto Kia has on the market, but also the biggest bargain.
Reviewed by Automotive on
The 2007 Kia Rio continues with the 2006 redesign, making up for what first-generation Kia lacked. With an improvement in driving dynamics, performance, cabin refinement, and overall comfort, the new Rio pleases almost every type of driver. Kia engineers produce a well-built, small car filled with features that actually delivers a pleasant drive.
The Kia Rio family gains an addition for the 2007 year with the introduction of a sedan Rio model, the SX. It runs along the same lines as the Rio5 SX hatchback wagon. The Rio comes in three trim levels: base, LX, and SX, and the Rio5 only offers the SX trim level.
The Range
Engines: 1.6-liter four-cylinder
Transmissions: four-speed automatic, five-speed manual
Models: Kia Rio Base, Kia Rio LX, Kia Rio SX
What's New
Since everything starts new for 2006, minimal changes occur for the 2007 Kia Rio. An ignition switch with illumination, newly designed wheels, and an SX version for the sedan debut this year. Sixteen-inch wheels provide a new optional feature for SX models.
The 2007 Kia Rio's exterior enhances with the choice of vibrant colors of exterior paint to suit any taste. The available trims include the base, the LX, and the SX. Beginning with the base model, the standard features seem sparing. The base model sits on 175/70R14 skinny tires and 14-inch steel wheels. The LX has 185/65R14 tires and the same steel 14-inch wheels. Lastly, the new, sportier SX version adds fog lights to enhance the exterior presence, as well as a rear spoiler and 15-inch alloy wheels. Optionally, the 16-inch alloys add to the SX.
The subcompact 2007 Kia Rio sedan has four doors and seats adults comfortably with its newly redesigned seats. The base model includes a slight amount of features, such as manual steering, front airbags, a tachometer, and attractive cabin materials. The LX model adds quite a few features that include air-conditioning, power steering, a CD player, a tilt steering wheel, and a split-folding rear seat. The upper-level SX adds metallic interior trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, metallic cabin accents, a red and black cabin theme, and metal pedals. Many Kia Rio shoppers prefer the LX sedan, which represents the middle trim level, because of the sufficient equipment included with the smaller price tag. An optional Power package contains most of the power accessories that a driver needs.
Performance & Handling
Power for the 2007 Kia Rio comes from the 1.6-liter inline-four that generates 110 horsepower with 107 lb-ft torque. All models come with the standard manual five-speed transmission, but the automatic four-speed provides an option for all except the base model. The Rio has more power than its rivals even though the automatic transmission doesn't give as hefty acceleration as others. Driving through traffic seems great with the well-timed shifts. Getting up to higher freeway speeds, the Rio gets a bit noisy while under full throttle and then cruises very quietly once up to speed. The fuel economy ratings reach above average for the subcompact sedan, getting around 38 mpg during highway driving. This may mark another reason for the model's popularity and extended consumer base.
Standard features for the Kia Rio include side airbags, complete curtain airbags, and a three-point seat belt for each seating position. The SX and LX trim levels have standard adjustable headrests. Anti-lock brakes provide an option on upper-level models as well. In the NHTSA front crash tests, the Kia Rio earns four stars for driver and five stars for occupant protection. In side crash tests the Kia receives four stars for occupants in the front and three stars for rear occupants.
EPA Fuel Economy
Kia Rio LX: 27/35 mpg city/highway
Kia Rio SX: 27/35 mpg city/highway
Kia Rio Rio5 SX: 27/35 mpg city/highway

Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt to charge a 5 cent surcharge
on every email delivered, by billing Internet Service Providers at
source. The consumer would then be billed in turn by the ISP.
Washington D.C. lawyer Richard Stepp is working without pay to
prevent this legislation from becoming law.
The U.S. Postal Service is claiming that
lost revenue due to the proliferation of email is
costing nearly $230,000,000 in revenue per year. You
may have noticed their recent ad campaign "There is
nothing like a letter". Since the average citizen
received about 10 pieces of email per day in 1998, the
cost to the typical individual would be an additional
50 cents per day, or over $180 dollars per year, above
and beyond their regular Internet costs. Note that
this would be money paid directly to the U.S. Postal
Service for a service they do not even provide.
The whole point of the Internet is democracy and non-interference. If
the federal government is permitted to tamper with our liberties by
adding a surcharge to email, who knows where it will end. You are
already paying an exorbitant price for snail mail because of
bureacratic efficiency. It currently takes up to 6 days for a letter
to be delivered from New York to Buffalo. If the U.S. Postal Service
is allowed to tinker with email, it will mark the end of the "free"
Internet in the United States.
One congressman, Tony Schnell (R) has even suggested a
"twenty to forty dollar per month surcharge on all
Internet service" above and beyond the government's
proposed email charges. Note that most of the major
newspapers have ignored the story, the only exception
being the Washingtonian which called the idea of email
surcharge "a useful concept who's time has come"
March 6th 1999 Editorial) Don't sit by and watch your
freedoms erode away!
Send this email to all Americans on your list and tell
your friends and relatives to write to their
congressman and say "No!" to Bill 602P. Kate Turner
Assistant to Richard Stepp, Berger, Stepp and Gorman

It's the action, not the fruit of the action that's

The impact of infrequent trading on betas based on daily, weekly and monthly return intervals : empirical evidence with Finnish data
This paper examines the empirical properties of common stock systematic risk estimates measured from daily, weekly and monthly return intervals in the Finnish stock market. Firstly, the effects of infrequent trading on betas measured from the three return intervals are analysed. Secondly, it is aimed to find out whether the differences in the stability of the selected systematic risk estimates can be explained by infrequent trading. Thirdly, the linear risk-return relationship suggested by the CAPM is tested using the different systematic risk estimates. In addition, two widely discussed anomalies, the size-effect and the E/P-effect, are focused in this context.

this winter i am planning on fixing my ignition system. The car was running fine, then something gave out in the ignition. i can turn the key, the lights turn on, but when i turn the key to crank the motor, nothing happens. I bought this car half restored, and the only part of the car that needs work is the ignition. Rather then try and locate and fix the problem (lately this only leads to yet another problem later down the road in a short time) i want to rip out the old ignition and install a totally new, fresh, and good looking set up, This is where i need your help. My intake side of the motor consists of a holley street demon electric choke carb, edelbrock intake, and stock heads. What ignition set up would be good? if you guys are willing to post what "your set up would be", it would be very helpful. Mike
You may want to check/replace your starter relay. This is the unit next to your battery. Ignition Suggestion Parts in in my garage. Waiting to install until I have the motor put together... MSD 6a Ignition Module MSD Billet Distributor MSD Wires MSD Blaster Coil You can same some $$$ and go with a Pertronix install instead of a distributor. I'd still opt for the MSD for the ignition. -Chuck
Painless wiring has a good set. I personally have nver installed it or used it, but I have heard nothing but good comments about it. BTW, I have a favor to ask of you. I need to get some 01 Bullitt seat covers to install over some 02 GT seats and the Ford dealership I called said that he couldn't see weather he could get some for me or not becuase they were listen in tirm code #. Could you please look on your drive door and tell me what the interior trim code is so that I can tell the dealership and see if they can get me some Bullitt covers? -Shaun
either you have a bad starter solenoid, or one of the wires going to it has a bad connection. I favor stock ignition over aftermarket, but its what you feel is best that matters.
thanks for the imput all of you. any yes i can find the trim code and part number if that would help. Geting the number might take a day or so. Mike p.s keep the info comming
i second the relay thing...we've had nothing but trouble on our stangs with those POS's. also, i run the pertronix, and it's a nice little setp w/o all the hassle of the msd system. took 10 min to put in, and required no other modifications to the car.

Triangle are a brand of spring, like skyjacker, etc. Many scout owners really like the Triangle brand of lift spring. The caster correctors will make a huge difference in a long commute. Much easier if the rig likes to go straight. I drove with zero caster (factory), negative caster (very, very bad idea), and now 6 degrees of positive caster. Much, much safer. I now feel comfortable taking the longer drives I dreaded before. I was a serious safety hazard with that negative caster. Spend the money. Your nerves will appreciate it.

Feb 01, 2011 Hoards, News Comments Off on Hackney Double Eagles
On a summer's day three years ago, a group of friends set about renovating their back garden. One of the lucky landscapers pierced the turf with their shovel, and uncovered a hoard of 80 gold United States $20 coins, of the type known as the 'Double Eagle'. Ranging in date from 1854 to 1913, even at the time of minting the coins would have represented a considerable amount of wealth. Realising the significance of what they had found, the intrepid gardeners contacted the local representative of the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS), Kate Sumnall, who brought the coins to the Museum of London and catalogued them. As a Finds Liaison Officer, Kate is used to seeing all manner of archaeological objects, but this was a very special case. Finds from the 20th century have the potential to provide important information about their past owners or the place in which they were found, but rarely do they qualify as 'Treasure' in the legal sense set out by the 1996 Treasure Act. The Hackney Double Eagles have proved to be a unique case in this respect.
The Treasure Act overturned one important aspect of the old rule of Treasure Trove: the burden of proof concerning the original intent of deposition — it was no longer necessary to prove that something had been buried with the intention of retrieval at a later date. Even with the initiation of a date threshold (objects of Treasure are normally required to be 300 years old at the time of discovery), the removal of the necessity to determine the circumstances under which an object found its way into the ground saw an immediate increase in the number of cases of Treasure reported in 1998, the first full year that the Treasure Act was in force. Not only are they rich in value, the Hackney Double Eagles are also providing an interesting case study in the process of the Treasure Act. As the coins are of relatively modern date, it is entirely possible that records may exist of who, why, and when the coins were deposited. If so, what happens next?
The new Treasure Act allows for the occasion that a discovery might be made which failed to meet one of the new criterion for Treasure, but which would have qualified as Treasure Trove. The Act declares that these items should still be considered Treasure. It is this provision which applies in the case of the Hackney Double Eagles, for, though they are less than 300 years old, it seems likely that such a collection must have been cached by someone who fully intended to return. It is not uncommon for hoards of 19th- and 20th-century coins to be found in Britain. Nor is it unheard of for such finds to be made in urban areas. What is unusual about the Hackney hoard is the combination of its recent date, the historic value of the coins, and the fact that they all came from a single foreign country.
A Treasure inquest was opened for the case of the Hackney Double Eagles on the 14 October 2010, and is scheduled to be concluded on the 8 February 2011. Part of the reason for the length of time between these dates is to allow anyone with an interest in the coins to learn of their discovery, and to put forward a legitimate claim. The Crown may only assume ownership of Treasure if its original owner, or an appropriately entitled heir, is unable to assert their superior interest. Since almost all cases of Treasure are over 300 years old, this is a factor that rarely needs consideration. It is not unheard of, however, for serious claims to be ventured. In 2003, a 17th-century silver hawking vervel found in Hampshire with the inscription 'Will. Earle of Bedford' was presumed to have been owned by that prominent individual (William Russell, later 1st Duke of Bedford), whose relations were easily traced.
In order to demonstrate an interest in the vervel superior to that of the Crown, the current Duke had to produce documents showing that the vervel was legally transferred from its original owner, through subsequent heirs, to him. Unable to supply such paperwork, the vervel was resigned to Crown ownership.
The gold coins from Hackney are much more recent, and it seems just possible that their burial occurred within living memory. As with any case of 'buried treasure', the fact that they were not retrieved by their depositor speaks of some misfortune that may have befallen him or her, or perhaps even the inability to relocate the precise location of the coins within the garden. Rarer are stories of the successful recovery of hoards, though we know that at least some were retrieved by their owners — the famous example being that of Samuel Pepys, who successfully retrieved the gold he had cached on his country estate after succumbing to the fear of an invasion of London by the Dutch in 1667.
What is a Double eagle?
Like many countries, the United States of America based denominations of its currency on the worth of the metal of which they were composed. The $10 'Eagle' was the base unit for gold coins. In 1837, the make-up of an Eagle was established as a mix of 90% pure gold and 10% copper-alloy (almost 22-karat) at a weight of 16.72g. The 'Double-Eagle' was the $20 version of this coin, and so contained twice as much gold.
Double Eagles were issued between 1850 to 1933, but from 1907 they incorporated Augustine St Gauden's famous re-rendition of Liberty, lighting the way with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. One of the coins in the Hackney hoard dates to that year. Paralleling a vision of Liberty similar to that in Eugene Delcroix's painting 'Liberty Leading the People' and in the colossal Statue of Liberty in New York, these coins were to gain much acclaim for their beauty.
Ian Richardson will be presenting the latest information on the story of the Hackney Hoard at the Current Archaeology Live! 2011 conference, 25-27 February at the British Museum. For more information and to register, visit the conference's official page or call 0208 819 5000.
The coins will be on display at the British Museum until February 2011.

Jim Webb and John Kerry, two Vietnam war heroes, passed each other on the up and down escalators in the past 24 hours–and there is a link between Webb's rise and Kerry's fall, and it has everything to do with social class. One of the reason's why Webb's speech worked so well last night–why it seemed so fresh–was the marriage of a populist economic message with a longstanding family tradition of military service. No way Webb could ever pass for effete; he's a guy who always looks as if he's five minutes from his next altercation. And he's been through a remarkable intellectual journey: he writes about it in his book, Born Fighting, which is a history of his Scots-Irish–a euphemism for redneck and proud–heritage. With his rediscovery of Andrew Jackson, Webb once told me, he had a political transformation. He realized that the Republican Party had been manipulating his southern Scots-Irish brethren, especially over the issue of race. He was mad as hell about that. And I must say that in all the talk of Webb's testosterone level on TV last night, one thing was missed–the substance of his economic message was reinforced by the fact that here, for once was a Democrat who palpably didn't drink chablis.
For years, Democrats have been having difficulty selling their economic message, in part because the salesmen were so…unlikely. They could promise universal health care, free college, whatever–but it didn't make a difference if they O-Ra-Ted the way John Kerry did.
Kerry, whom I've known for many years, was always a different, more awkward guy in public than he was with his Vietnam pals–and, according to one of his closest Vietnam pals, he'd even stopped being loose with them in private in recent years: "We lost him when he married Teresa." It showed. It showed when he got pissed off at the secret service guy for getting in his way when he was snow-boarding in Sun Valley. It showed when his consultants ran focus groups to figure out how to respond to Abu Ghraib–something Jim Webb (or John McCain) would never do. It showed…all the time. It always looked like he was saying what he'd been told to say.
Yes, there's a tradition in the Democratic Party of inspired, idealistic aristocrats. But there is also a reality: where you stand often depends on where you sit. And I can see Jim Webb sitting down the end of the bar, with a shot and a beer, at some saloon just outside the Quantico Base, bitching to his friends about that wimpoid Bush trying to prove himself to his daddy, wondering whether his own parents can figure out the Medicare drug thing, pissed, patriotic, perfectly who he is. I'm probably going to disagree profoundly with Webb on issues like protectionism, but I'm sure as hell going to listen carefully to what he has to say.
