Brown Named League Player of the Week for Fourth Time in 2013-14
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) –Green Bay senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) has been named the Horizon League Player of the Week for the fourth time in 2013-14, the league office announced on Monday. With Brown winning four times and junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) winning a record six weekly awards, Green Bay has won a league-record 10 player of the week awards this season.
On Thursday night, Green Bay will host Valparaiso at 7 p.m. at the Resch Center and Brown will be honored as part of Senior Night. The senior night ceremony will take place prior to tip-off at approximately 6:45 p.m.
In leading the Phoenix to road victories over Youngstown State and Cleveland State, Brown averaged 21 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. With four boards at YSU, the 7-foot-1 center also broke Green Bay's Division I record for career rebounds.
At Youngstown State on Thursday night, Brown scored 24 points on 11-of-16 shooting to lead the Phoenix to a 71-40 victory. He also blocked three shots in the contest as Green Bay broke the Horizon League record for rejections in a season.
During Brown's career, Green Bay has broken the program record for blocks in a season in four-straight years. Of the top-15 single-game block efforts in Phoenix history, 14 have come during the four-year career of Brown.
On Saturday afternoon at Cleveland State, Brown scored 13 of his 18 points in the first half as Green Bay jumped out to a 20-point lead and rolled to a 68-54 win at the Wolstein Center. The senior added nine rebounds and two of Green Bay's 10 blocked shots. In five Horizon League road games this season, Brown is averaging 21.6 points while shooting 60.3 percent from the field and 64.3 percent from long range.
During his senior season, Brown is averaging 16 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game. In his career, Brown has set himself apart in Horizon League history as the only player to accumulate 1,500-plus points (1,619), 750-plus rebounds (777) and 250-plus blocks (293).
Brown now has 78 blocks in 2013-14, 12 shy of breaking his own Phoenix single-season record. The senior needs 17 blocks to break the Horizon League record of 309 set last season by Youngstown State's Damian Eargle.

Battlefield 'Earth'
Battlefield Earth
Hollywood's been making movies about little green men from outer space for six decades, which means we must really, really love to see extra-terrestrial invasion on film. Serious, funny, campy or just plain out of this world, these movies will bring out your inner alien.
by Grant Thompson
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
Keanu Reeves plays the extra-terrestrial Klaatu, who may or may not have come here to destroy the planet. The film, a remake of the 1951 classic of the same title, is just one in a long line of films that center on Earth-bound flying saucers chock full of aliens hell-bent on invasion. As we take a photographic trip through these flicks, we can see that both the aliens and their spaceships have had a wide array of looks through the years.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
The original version of the movie centers on the alien, Klaatu, arriving in Washington, D.C., with his trusty robot, Gort. But their plan is not wanton destruction. Seemingly heavily influenced by the recent legacy of the Second World War, Klaatu's aim is more of the galactic peacekeeping variety. His planet's inhabitants will only destroy the Earth if the inherently violent humans provoke them into doing so. Of course, a nuanced notion of space diplomacy can be tough to convey to a bad-ass robot with an eye laser, and Gort embarks on his own agenda that can only be stopped by Klaatu and his American emissary, Helen.
Target Earth (1954)
Just three years after the first Day the Earth Stood Still came this invasion flick. The city has changed from D.C. to Chicago, and this time it's not just Gort, but rather a whole flying saucer full of killer robots that, also like Gort, are equipped with the iconic single eye in the center of their metallic forehead that shoots out laser beams at the only inhabitants left in a deserted Windy City. Due to the constraints of a modest budget, only a single robot costume was used in the filming of the movie. The filmmakers then simply cut back and forth to simulate an actual robot army on the march.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Steven Spielberg has a secret. It involves aliens, we know that. But all other details are parsed out in only the tiniest of increments as we, with Richard Dreyfuss as our primary guide, try to figure out the clues that lead to eventual human contact with aliens, defined as a Close Encounter of the Third Kind. By the end, we find out that the extra-terrestrials are there on a diplomatic mission and have come only to return both artifacts and people abducted from both the distant and recent past. Spielberg considered the reveal of the alien mothership at the end of the film so vital that he spent nearly 20 percent of the movie's budget on visual effects, a staggering amount at the time.
Starship Troopers (1997)
Every kid grows up wondering what would happen if their futuristic military society was suddenly attacked by killer insects from another planet. Thankfully, 1997's Starship Troopers provided the answer. The Arachnids from Klendathu were not too psyched that Earth was getting a bit too aggressive in its colonization efforts. In retribution for humans coming to their planet, they came to our planet, 8 legs at a time. Pretty boy Casper Van Dien and various half-clothed supporting actresses manage to turn the tide of the war against the bug aliens from Klendathu. If you don't believe me, turn on a cable movie channel – Starship Troopers seems to be on a constant loop.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
If you like my body, and you think I'm sexy…then kill me with an exact replica of myself hatched out of a pod. No alien spacecrafts in this adaptation of the novel, The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney. Instead, seeds drifting through space find their way to Earth, where they grow into soul-grabbing plants. The replicas then spread through the populace, as true humans must determine who is still a real person and who is only an expressionless pod-person alien. Historians have called Snatchers a metaphor for the McCarthy-era Communist hunts occurring in the country at the same time. Pod person, Red person – to-may-to, to-mah-to. Neither remake of this movie (1978's Invasion of the Body Snatchers and 2007's Nicole Kidman bomb, The Invasion) matched the success of the original.
Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (1956)
The space race wasn't all about JFK's lunar promises and Sputnik. In this classic, Dr. Russell Marvin and his wife, Carol, find something way more dastardly in orbit then a few cell phone satellites. Working for the strangely named Operation Skyhook (was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar somehow involved?), the Marvins are abducted by the aliens, who have been collecting American rockets as quickly as they are fired into the atmosphere. Far from war hawks, these aliens are all about diplomacy – they initially claim to want to negotiate with the humans in order to later invade Earth with minimal panic. But the politeness is a ruse, and they soon make clear a plan to destroy us all. So learn your lesson, 1950s America, no negotiating with those duplicitous Soviets!
Independence Day (1996)
In disaster director's Roland Emmerich's 1996 alien movie, Independence Day, the flying saucers stretched far across the sky. The aliens' attack blueprint consisted of aligning their ships at strategic locations around the globe, and then when their computer countdown reached zero, unleashing a laser-beam induced wave of destruction. Of course, these big-headed baddies underestimated the motley insurgency led by a cigar-chomping Will Smith, a booze-swilling Randy Quaid, and an Apple-laptop toting Jeff Goldblum. Apparently you can upload a virus from a mid-90s Powerbook that can destroy an alien spacecraft – who knew?
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
If bug-eyed aliens emerging from silver disc flying saucers are too cliché for you, then this is your kind of invasion movie. Typical '80s horny teens, Mike and Debbie, stumble upon the landing spot for a terrifying new kind of extra-terrestrial that travels in a circus-tent spacecraft: the alien clown, err, klown. If you think clowns are creepy anyway, wait until you get a load of these bozos shooting their popcorn ray-guns that embalm the victim in a deadly cotton candy cocoon. And what better way to enjoy a delightful human carcass than by sucking it through a crazy straw?! One of the film's taglines parodied that of Ridley Scott's Alien: "in space, no one can eat ice cream."
Killers from Space (1954)
The rise of the atomic age famously gave birth to the Japanese monster Godzilla, who was awakened from his undersea lair by nuclear testing. American filmmakers produced their own paranoia-driven sci-fi parables, like this one. Lead character Dr. Doug Martin is not only a nuclear scientist but also a pilot (apparently in his spare time – what a guy). After crashing his plane exploring a nuclear test site, he is miraculously unharmed. But Cold War America is in big-time trouble, as Martin has actually been brainwashed by aliens to use our own atomic power against us to take over the Earth. Unintentional comedy is in high form here, both with the bug-eyed aliens and their atomic-affected giant insect soldier force.
Mars Attacks! (1996)
The aliens-attacking-Earth genre was clearly ripe to be spoofed. Enter Tim Burton. His 1996 Mars Attacks! imbues the 1950s B-movie sensibility onto the same contemporary setting as Independence Day. The movie is actually based on a trading card series of the same name, and the film borrows from the cards' outlandish color scheme and comic violence. And how about that cast? Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Natalie Portman, and Sarah Jessica Parker are just some of the hapless Earthlings targeted by the devious midget aliens with the ginormous brains.
War of the Worlds (1953)
When this adaptation of H.G. Wells' famous novel hit the screen it wowed audiences with its visuals – the film took home an Academy Award for special effects that year. Director Byron Haskin changed the novel's original location of London to Southern California but kept the idea of belligerent Martians emerging from meteorites that aren't meteorites. Turns out it's not might, but rather mites that triumph over the aliens – they have no defense for Earth's viruses and bacteria. That, and perhaps the wrath of God – screenwriter Barré Lyndon added in a religious theme to the screenplay, as the Martians' demise begins immediately after they destroy a church.

Softball Takes One of Two in Doubleheader at IUPUI
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay softball team took to the diamond in non-conference action on Monday, picking up a win in one of two games over IUPUI.
In two closely-contested games, Green Bay took game one, 7-5, before falling in game two, 3-4. The split moved the Phoenix to 12-6 overall this season.
Green Bay returns to the field this weekend, hosting Youngstown State in Horizon League action.
Game 1 – Green Bay 7, IUPUI 5
Green Bay broke a 5-5 tie in the top of the seventh with a big two-run home run from senior Shannon Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) as it took game one of Monday's doubleheader, 7-5.
The Phoenix fell behind in the early going after IUPUI put two runs on the board in the bottom of the first inning, but responded with three runs in the top of the second to take a 3-2 lead. Putting two runners in scoring position, freshman Abby Brinkmeier (Eagan, Minn.) hit an RBI single to left, classmate Allie Taylor (Waunakee, Wis.) delivered an RBI sacrifice fly and sophomore Kelli Hutchinson (Trevor, Wis.) had an RBI single in consecutive at-bats to drive in the three runs.
The lead was short lived as IUPUI grabbed back the lead, 4-3, in the home half of the third. Each team added a run in the fourth inning before the Phoenix evened the score at 5-5 with a lone run in the top of the fifth.
Heading into the seventh inning, Green Bay got the runs it needed to pick up the win with the big two-run home run by Shannon Butts.Junior Lauren Danner (Kaukauna, Wis.) set down the Jaguars in order in the bottom of the seventh to preserve the 7-5 win for the Phoenix.
Working the final 2.0 innings Danner (3-1) picked up the win, holding IUPUI without a hit while striking out one. Freshman Heather Sanderson (Rapid River, Mich.) started the game in a no-decision effort, allowing five runs (three earned) on nine hits with eight strikeouts.
Shannon and Stacey Butts each finished the game 2-for-4 with a home run.
Game 2 – Green Bay 3, IUPUI 4
Green Bay came out on the opposite end of a similar situation to its first game of the day, as IUPUI got a go-ahead run in the bottom of the fifth and held off the Phoenix for a 4-3 win.
Sophomore Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) got the scoring started with a solo shot in the top of the first, and the Phoenix got another run on another solo homer from junior Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) in the top of the third to go up, 2-0.
However, IUPUI got two runs in the bottom of the third and took the lead with one run in the fourth to go up, 3-2.
Green Bay got the lead back in the top of the fifth on an RBI single from Michalkiewicz, but the Jaguars put the go-ahead run on the board in the home half of the inning and held on the rest of the way as it won, 4-3.
Michalkiewicz finished 2-for-4 with two RBI, while Mohrfeld was 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored. Senior Ashley Nannemann (Burlington, Wis.) was saddled with the loss, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits with three strikeouts in 4.1 innings of work. Junior Lauren Danner (Kaukauna, Wis.) threw the final 1.2 innings, holding the Jaguars hitless.

Ozarks sophomore scores big in art competition
Release Date: 2/12/2010
Clarksville, Ark. --- A thing of beauty is a joy forever – and sometimes it wins prizes too!
Ginny Gardner, a sophomore art major at Ozarks, has won third prize at the Collegiate Art Exhibition and Competition at the River Valley Arts Center in Russellville. The art competition was one of less than five annual statewide competitions targeting university fine arts students. Notification and an invitation to participate in the competition and exhibition were sent to all public and private colleges and universities in the state. Gardner's winning artwork, titled Self Portrait x3, is a mixed media collage.
"I was a little skeptical of winning," said the effervescent native of Little Rock. "You never know in competitions – obviously you're at the mercy of the judges. But I was really happy because the piece was one I had done for Professor Harrington during my first semester Basic Design class, a three-panel self-portrait done with cut-out shapes."
Ginny said majoring in art at Ozarks has been a great experience. "I've taken photography, Art History, print making – print making is really cool, but it's painstaking work. You have to make the plate first, and then there's the challenge of trying to get all the copies to come out the same."
She said art in school is all about being creative on deadline. "I erase things so much, and things always turn out differently than you meant them to. Sometimes that's good." Her advice to unsure artists: "Go for it. Art's just one of those things, you do it or you don't. People say, 'Oh, I can't even draw a stick figure.' Well, at one time I couldn't draw a stick figure either. But if you want to do it, do it."
Asked for her preferences in style, she said, "I'm really into graphic design in my work, and art that uses those techniques. I get a lot of inspiration for my work from nature, and I'm a big fan of recycling old materials into new art."
Ginny said she had known she wanted to be an artist since a watercolor class in second grade, and that in high school at Mount Saint Mary's in Little Rock, she focused on her work as an artist. She also worked four years in a pottery studio as a teen, painting continuously through those years, and at age 14 worked at a camp for mentally and physically challenged adults, which she described as a "good, positive, but hard" experience.
The future remains wide open for Ginny. "Right now I am planning to pursue teaching certification. Grad school I'm not sure about yet." She added, however, she loves Memphis, and that the Memphis School of Art was a possibility down the road.
Her summer plans include working with pre-schoolers at the Ozark Valley Day School, but also a trip to Ibiza, off the coast of Spain, with her uncles, as well as the WakarusaMusic & Camping Festival at Mulberry Mountain in June. "I love the music festivals," she said with a grin.

|General Car Chat Lounge Discussion Forum relating to nonspecific Ford Focus models, car purchasing, auto industry news and any car talk.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|What has this thread taught us? If you say black, someone will say white, no matter the topic. Moving on.
|My partner bought the second CX-5 the dealer got and has had zero issues with it. I think it's an awesome CUV.
Failure thread is fail.
I never said anything about PCV valve, just the smoking & excess oil consumption was on the TURBO'D 2.3L, NOT the n/a 2.3.
I would say personally i haven't heard of the problem as i'm on many mazda forums and personally know over 20 people with different mazda's and NONE of them have said they had issue's with oil consumption & burning oil. Mine Mazda 6i with the 2.3L included.
Ford got a lot of their technology, including their remote entry system, from Mazda. They have tweaked it over the years, but it's basically the same. I was stating to you that i've driven a Mazda with remote start and the remote start fob will unlock the doors. It's in the manual. The CX5 i rode in had a keyless entry system with a little button on the door handle that was easily pushed to gain entry to the car w/o having to take the key out. What you're saying doesn't make sense, but it would hurt for YOU to read the owners manual since YOU have such a problem understanding how technology works.
I never said you compared the mpg's of a CX5 to a truck. I said you compared a CX5 to a focus, which are in 2 completely different classes and isn't fair to either as a CUV is different from an ecnobox. Mazda listens to it's customers and will make improvements over the next for model years.
The price of the focus has jumped considerably over the years, so i would imagine that both quality and technology has increased with the price. I'm fan of both the Ford and Mazda, so i don't really see what your point is. But all cars will be lemons if they aren't properly maintained, dealer or no dealer.
I didn't compare fuel consumption between a car and truck. My original point was that with similar horsepower ( 155 and 160 ) a heavier Mazda CX-5 is obviously underpowered based on power to weight compared to the Focus.
The Focus has become a much more premium car in the latest version and wins a fair bit of praise. Enjoy your Mazda. Every make of car has its fans. Even the not so great ones. My sister loves hers, so there you go.
really sounds like your sister can't take care of her vehicles. I've seen Protege's last to over 150,000. I know several Mazda 6 owners well into 100,000's and everything functions as it should. Weekly washing/rinsing the car (or every other week) will do wonders for a car, especially up north where snow/salt is more common.
Sounds like you or your family haven't read the owners manual. Unless they have changed it, but the remote for the remote start WILL open the doors if you simply press the button to start it once or twice. There also should be a button somewhere on the door handle to open/lock the doors as well as one on the rear hatch. As long as the key is on you, you shouldn't need to pull it out to open the doorsI have a 2006 Mazda 6i sport & a 2008 CX7 AWD GT, my mother in-law also has a 2009 CX9 AWD GT with remote start. My 6i has been reliable and NEVER smoked or burned oil, infact i've never heard of the issue before on the N/A 2.3. I have heard it however, on the Turbo'd 2.3 that's in the speed3's, speed6's and CX7.
Don't know why you'd compare a CUV to a econobox focus for fuel econmy, but they both serve their purposes. The CX5 was a more mpg friendly CUV and supposed to replace my car, the CX7. I've personally been in a CX5 and it feels small and cramped compared to my CX7, but on paper it's technically bigger. The Focus, regardless of trim, is still an A to B vehicle. Ford has tried to change the market they are going after which is fine, but the price has also gone up. You get more bells and whistles compared to the 1st & 2nd gens, but you're also paying more. I paid $13,500 US out the door for my 03 Zetec Sedan 5 speed manual, with power windows, power locks, Cruise, Sunroof & keyless entry off the showroom floor. Price out a Focus now with those options and you'll be upwards of $20,000+ US.
If you want to compare apples to apples, compare a mazda 3 to your focus and they're pretty much the same. You have to give the CX5 credit, 35 mpg with a manual transmission is impressive for a CUV, 32 mpg with an auto is also pretty good too.
Yes, mazda 4 cylenders had a smoke issue but usually a quick pvc replacement fixed the issue. The 2.3 is the same engine that's in the focus it's a good engine.
I'm glad to see the cars was taken cared for, but I don't trust a dealer when it comes to repairs. I do all my work DIY. I've been screwed over too many times for dealerships and would never trust another with my car or truck. They will charge you for repairs that they don't do and find repairs the cars don't need. i have nothing against the 2013 escape and me and my wife looked into one but they are over priced and get horrible mileage.
Infact I took pics of the one we test drove and talked to the dealer about.

text: Both Caryn Kadavy and Jill Trenary were artistic/stylistic skaters who were not particularly strong jumpers. Jill Trenary won a world title(1990)- thanks to Compulsory figures; Caryn's best finish was a world bronze in 1987, but she had much more success as a pro. She developed into something special, without the pressure of having to land difficult jumps. Jill's career almost ended (she had a few pro competition appearances) after her world title. She did not even compete at the 1991 worlds. Who did you like more? I loved Caryn Kadavy but I was lukewarm toward Jill Trenary- may be because she was competing against one of my most favorite skaters ever? Who did you prefer and why?

Bringing more than 15 years experience in whole body vibration training, Power Plate accelerates scientifically-established health and fitness benefits to deliver faster and longer lasting results.
Engineered to activate the body's natural reflexive response to vibration, Power Plate's vibrating platform moves 25 to 50 times per second to engage muscles in a consistent, and controlled manner. (The vibrations move in three directions: up/down, forwards/backwards, and side-to-side.) As a result, Power Plate is able to accelerate training with high performance results, enabling anyone seeking greater fitness levels to achieve their maximum physical potential faster and more efficiently.
"The Power Plate has dramatically changed my workout. I know that every muscle in my body is being ignited in ways that you can't do with regular training. Its uses are limitless. I love this machine!"
"Power Plate is critical to my strength and agility training. It has helped to significantly increase my core motion, bat speed and stability, which are key to my performance at the plate and in the field."
Author and founder of EXOS, formerly Athletes' Performance, Mark Verstegen talks about why whole body vibration with Power Plate is critical to his program.
..."I use Power Plate before I run to improve my explosive power and balance. After a race I use Power Plate to recover. I find that recovery is critical and often overlooked. Power Plate works, and it brought me back to the top of the US Masters hurdlers list."
Power Plate is a Proud Supporter of Olympian Sarah Hammer and Team USA Track Cycling
Power Plate is a favorite among fit celebs, including workout fiend Mark Wahlberg. In this great piece by Metro US, his trainer, Brian Nguyen, owner of BRIK Fitness, shares the Power Plate moves that get the actor in peak physical shape.

YES, I understood I was buying phony accounts (but not certain) and YES I understood it was a danger and not great for specific reasons, specifically:
- my reputation (OMG she's SO fake, she PURCHASED her followers)
- my loverate (that is the percentage of amount of typical enjoys on your pics split via the number of followers)
1500 followers were bought by me on a site I found through Google here . I can't find it again now (they likely come and go), so just Google 'purchase actual instagram followers' and you'll see plenty of services. After paying 15 dollars (it said 'best alternative', for 25 dollars I could have bought 2500 followers, was that no good?) and within the next 24 hours, I got all these 1500 followers. Three weeks later and I have 2712 followers.
All these are really fake-accounts. They do not 'live', aka nor remark is not liked by them, but they look real. You can still understand them: these reports have names that are bizarre, they do have a typical profile pic and follow a lot of men and women. To date the exact same as any accounts. They don't have (m)any followers, largely 0 to 5, they don't post pics, mostly no more than ONE tot 10 pics already there. These pics are randomly picked in the internet.
I wanted more, more, after I bought the followers! I thought that if one of my pics got about the popular page, I might get more devotees. In the end, the pics on Instagram's popular page will not be the best ones ? Therefore I purchased 500 enjoys for 5 dollars from exactly the same service for one of my already popular pics (60 likes, which can be a lot for me). The likes came within a couple of hours. I got 562 likes from my son Mauro and his buddies in total on this pic.
- Buying followers worked only a little bit for my picture: I get more followers faster than before. Where I got a dozen in this same timeslot before in the past 3 weeks I got 200 new followers.
Note: Additionally , I gave a demo to over 200 (beginning) bloggers from which I got more followers than usual.
When people view that I have 2500 followers think it is worth to follow me when I 'd 990 followers. Mission 1 achieved.
- My Klout score went up from 67 to 68 and it looks like it stays there. Klout can't ascertain they are reports that are fake. A failure I think, but really difficult to undermine, from Klout. (Upgrade december 2014 ">> maybe Klout also analyzes engagement rates from Instagram, just like the love as well as the talkrate)
- The likes did NOTHING. So I must have bought much more than 500 to get on the page that is popular you need a large number of likes. Will do that if I've the guts.
Not so great, but not a terrible thing.
- I 'ven't got any bad comments from people (yet) nor have I been banned from my love Instagram (yet).
Yes? Would I recommend this strategy? No, but I would not lie that it might work for your own image. What are the REAL services to get more followers that you just know of? I want to know!
Update 2017
Examining the tool Instagrame that promisses ACTUAL followers.
Purchasing followers got me new followers quicker, but my love was brought down by it - and talkrate. They urged the tool Instagress, after I followed a Instagram Advertising webinar. I analyzed it. It's a tool that can enjoy or remark mechanically on accounts you do not follow based hashtags you pick. You can even choose the choice that you will start to follow accounts automatically. And agreed: it is pretty chilling.
In the three days this was the result:
- Enjoys done 3041
- Opinions done 811
- Follows done 974
Number of people who followed me because of the above mentioned activities (in the period of a week) 250
Was it worth it? Some participate with me. Nevertheless, the automatic commenting alternative was a bit scary. I got one comment thanks, but it is a video. Seemingly the comment 'fine pic' was placed under a video. OOPS. And there certainly are a lot of crap pics within my timeline, therefore I am unfollowing the ones again who tend not to follow back and that is a great deal of work.
Update november 2017
There are a lot of uses now like 'Get followers' where when people start to follow you through the app, you receive coins for subsequent people and spent those coins. So those are followers that are actual and they are earned by you also by individuals that are subsequent. However, coins can be bought by you too, for real money. And you may also receive coins by clicking on a link or doing things the program lets you know so, for example looking in a video from an advertiser. It also says that if the men you just started to follow within the next 6 days are unfollowed by you you loose your coins again. Bright. Interesting. But small opportunity that those people that are new are really interested in you, so awful again for the involvement rate.
Instagram deleted my 1500 followers that were fraudulent and they did so with every inactive and/or spam acocunt, so lots of individuals have now to followers that were less. I've to develop a new killerblogpost on purchasing followers. Interested as to when Instagram will do a cleanup again.

Grants are considered "free money" and are not required to be paid back. Eligibility for grants is determined by the information submitted on the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. All grants are considered need based.
Basic eligibility requirements for grants include:
- Students must be admitted into an undergraduate degree seeking program, and cannot have earned a Bacherlor's degree.
- Must file a FAFSA each year and be assigned a Pell eligible EFC
- CAP ad SEOG grants have limited funding and are awarded only until funds are exhausted.
College Access Program (Cap Grants)
College Access Program grants, or CAP Grants are a state funded grant program. The award amount may vary from year to year. In order to be eligible for the CAP Grant, the student must have a current FAFSA on file, be eligible for the Federal Pell Grant and be a Kentucky resident. To find the current year rates, as well as specific eligibility requirements, please visit the KHEAA . The CAP Grant is awarded until funds are exhausted. The FAFSA form is available after January 1st of each year. you are encouraged to file your FAFSA as close to this date as possible to increase your chances of receiving this grant as funds are exhausted very early every year.
Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant is federally funded and awarded to undergraduate students only (those who have not yet earned at least one Bachelor's degree) with exceptional financial need. Pell Grant award amounts vary each year, and may be awarded to both full-time and part-time students, pro-rated based on the actual number of hours enrolled.
The Pell Grant is initially awarded at the full time award amount. After the university's 100% drop/add period is over, hours are frozen and award amounts will be adjusted to the correct amount for the number of hours you were enrolled in at that time. Pell Grant awards will not be adjusted up or down after this deadline has passed, unless you are enrolled less-than-full-time and add a bi-term course that begins and ends within that same semester.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
SEOG Grants are federally funded and awarded by the University to the undergraduate students with exceptional financial need. Students must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 hours.

Turkey will make their UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament bow in Antalya on 2 July and senior men's coach Abdullah Avcı wants to make the most of home advantage in Group A against Denmark and fellow debutants Portugal and Romania.
The hosts take on Portugal in the opening fixture and Avcı is confident Turkey will do more than just enjoy the occasion. "To play in the finals is a truly great feeling," he said. "It's important to be able to savour the experience.
The main focus will be on winning, but we also have to enjoy the fact we are taking part in the finals."
Romania will also make their bow and should not be underestimated after topping second qualifying round Group 3 ahead of the Netherlands and 2010 champions France to qualify. However, coach Mirel Albon is under no illusions as to the size of the task his side face trying to reach the semi-finals.
"I'm sure the group will be very difficult because everybody knows Denmark have a lot of experience," he said. "They have played in a lot of final tournaments and I'm sure they will play well again. Portugal, who beat Norway, are also dangerous.
Turkey, as hosts, will be very motivated and we will have a very difficult match against them. For us, it's a joy and honour to be here."
Portugal reached their first finals at the expense of Norway, courtesy of a superior head-to-head record, and coach José Paisana will ask his side to keep up the good work in Antalya. "We will approach the tournament in the same way as we did the second qualifying round," he said. "We will give it our best shot and hope to make a name for Portuguese women's football."
Serbia will be the fourth nation making their final tournament debut when they take on Spain in Group B, which also contains 2009 finalists England and Sweden.

92 suzuki samurai second chance
okay to let u in on the title im on my second samurai. my first one was 500 dollars and ran good i did a spring over and rhino lined the whole outside and inside of it, but that wasn't enough so i put six inch lift springs on top of that how stupid can i get. to get to the point i rolled it a week later twice endo then sideways ouch.
on to round two i just can't get enough of these little guys. so my plans with the second one it is two wheel drive and has a blown head gasket.
so i have a parts samurai take the transfer case and axle and do a axle flip right away. then i know a really good engine builder who has very reasonable pricing so i rebuild the entire engine bore 30 over head milled 20 thounths so on and so forth. 31x10.50x15 and away we go.
right after the axle flip
right after the buzz bomb
right after i stick a tree through the windshield ouch hammers sure make things look like new
i will have pictures soon of the new add ons like lots of exocage and plasma cutter extended wheel base 4 link and much more to come.
sorry about the delay computer problems i have a few new pictures i got the plasma cutter in my hand and this is what happen.
this is after i decided to move my rear axle back a few inches
just a little rust no problem ill plasma cut it out
im going to cut the front out now and my first plan was to just cut out the fender flares and call it good but now i want to tube it all so i am doing what i can
it may not be the best thing uve ever seen but its my first project that has tube to bend and that kind of thing. so i am learnin and i thing im going to build something new after this what i dont know yet

The Best Lotion on the Market
I can't stand sticky or oily lotion. Thymes lotion is neither. Thymes goes on wet and slick, and is absorbed into your skin like silk. It doesn't become sticky when you are in overdrive. It moisturizes better than any lotion, I've ever use, and doesn't burn when your hands are chapped. And the scent is divine. I absolutely love this lotion - it's worth every penny.

The scent is refreshingly delightful!
I have been using Thymes products for many years. I started by purchasing Eucalyptus lotion, and it has become a long standing product for me. I love the fresh smell because I find the crisp scent of eucalyptus invigorating. The lotion itself makes my skin silky smooth.

I was on a trip with a friend and she pulled out a small bottle of the Eucalyptus Body Lotion from a previous hotel she had visited. Knowing that I love good-smelling stuff she suggested that I check out this incredible lotion. She was amazed when I pulled out a full-size bottle from my suitcase and said that it was my most favorite lotion in the world! She had no idea it was available beyond that hotel so got right on-line and placed an order (and joined the testing panel as well)!

I have an issue with Arthur being listed as a girl's name on this website.
The description for Arthur (girl) is this: "One of the old-school masculine names some very adventurous parents are adopting for girls."
I thought that was an interesting claim. I just checked the SSA lists from 2001-2011, and not surprisingly Arthur never shows up on the girls' list. If there were any unfortunate girls named Arthur in that ten-year span, there are less than 40. Definitely not enough to warrant Arthur being listed as a girl's name.
ETA: I'm going back further in the data, and Arthur occasionally shows up at the very, very bottom of the very girls' list. Never more than 20 uses a year though. Still not enough to warrant Arthur being used as a girl's name.
The "Geezer Names for Girls" list bothers me to end. Why isn't there an accompanying "Geezelle Names for Boys" list advocating Dorcas, Mildred, and Gretchen for a boy?

I personally think that the description for Taylor for a guy is alright, however, Taylor Lautner's name deserves to be spelled correctly: "Twilight's Taylor Leitner, though, is keeping it viable for the boys".
Also, the description for Indiana for a guy is interesting, saying that it emerged in the 80s, when it has never been in the top 1000 for guys. I'm sure there's the few 80s babies here and there named Indiana, but I don't think that's enough to say it 'emerged'.

Taylor currently ranks higher for boys than for girls, but am I the only person who knows more male Taylors than female Taylors? Taylor is a pretty common name amongst the guys at my school, whereas we only have two or three female Taylors.
I really don't think it's fair to say that Taylor Lautner is the only thing keeping Taylor viable for a boy.

Wow "sissified"...do NOT like that descriptor at all!! I will have to think and try to remember descriptions that made me wince but I was surprised to see that word used.

Did anyone watch the fight? I was pleased, it was the first PPV that I've ordered that the title fight has been worth watching!!!
I wasn't for sure that Forrest could pull it off but he was clearly the aggressor through the majority of the fight.

Im heading down to my Brazil Lease this weekend and I'm not expecting to have much water. O'keefe is 6 miles north so I'll be placing most of my eggs in that basket.

Give me an update if any of you have been to O'keefe this season. If not I will report back Monday with an update

Price Range?
Want to get a revolver for myself and possibly to teach my wife with. Requesting any recommendations for one with the lightest DA trigger pull if there is such a thing, or one that a smith could lighten without breaking the bank.
Price Range?
Out of the box,
the S&W 627-PC 8-shots in 357 magnum (shoots 38s as well of course) is renowned as a light-triggered revolver.
I own it, after 500-1000 rounds it got pretty much soft and everyone else who tries it, accustomed to other popular models like the 686, is impressed.
As far as I know, you can have a trigger job done to just about every revolver, sometimes you may have problems with unfiring primers though, a very light trigger requests federal primers or similar
The S&W 627 sometimes won't fire fiocchi primers in DA, it will do it in SA though (happens 2-3 times out of 100 rounds). Same drawback with others primers brands maybe, I can't remember, I'm using fiocchi right now.
Besides, after you've trained and fired hundreds or thousands of rounds, your trigger finger muscles will get stronger and the trigger will feel softer.
The new Ruger LCR would be ideal for your wife.
I would recommend a nice pre lock K frame. Your best bet would be a model 10 IMO.
No trigger or action will every be better than a COLT PYTHON. Later, Bill
My S&W 642 has a smooth, but not necessarily light trigger...just the way I like it. With a little practice you can squeeze and hold it right at the break point, simulating single action fire. This makes it easy to shoot well, once you have mastered the art of keeping your trigger finger independent of the rest of your hand.
Snap caps and dry-fire will help with a DA revolver, as much, if not more, than live fire.
My reccomendation is an older K-frame , a 10 or 65 or 66 or 67. 4 inch or as I have trained many wives
with a 3 inch mod 66. I smoothed the trigger and put in a light spring kit. I didn't have to touch the engagement surfaces of the trigger , I just smothed the bosses and frame and sideplate. It is about 5
pounds and buttery smooth. Try to get a round but gun if possible as you can put smaller grips on the
round buts. Use a rubber hogue either full size or the boot grip for small hands. Also the compact
rubber pachmeyer is good for small hands.
An inexpensive 4 inch mod 10 could be perfect except for the square butt which makes the grip quite a bit
There is one danger though..... you might like it so much you might take it and buy your wife a brand new
one !
A used 65LS 3 inch or 65 3 inch M+P would be ideal too. both round butt too !
Keep in mind..... a heavier gun is the enemy of recoil....... tiny plastic guns will be the death of
enjoyment ( and further training) for a new shooter who has never experienced recoil. The students attention should be
on learning to shoot, not how loud it is or how much it hurts. Many female first time shooters do so
well with the K-frame / 38 spcl / smooth trigger combination that they never realise that their boyfrend
or husband told them they needed a 22 !
Thats my experience !
Small frame snubby's have a stuff trigger pull due to the limited space in which the action has to work.
The tighter confines dictate smaller 'lever's' and subsequesnt camming-action / different geometry than larger frames with more room. Hence, a stiffer pull. Installing lighter springs softens the hit to the primer. Your mileage and results can vary there and stories of same will confirm this.
The LCR is a revolutionary design and those I know that have shot it love it. The action has been tuned at the factory as since it's side-plateless it gave the engineers some wiggle room. The poly fire-control room and tamer-strip in the grip reduce felt recoil by design and in acutal hands-on. I've yet to fire one but know two that have that shoot snubby's like me and it's two thumbs up, esp for as light as it is.
A sort-of Rule of Thumb is the larger the frame the more room for longer levers = a lighter trigger pull to cock and set the sear for a given weight of spring.
LCR = 13.5 oz.
442 = 15.0 oz.
Cylinder size : LCR is smaller.
If we are being picky, the 442 is 6 3/8 inches long and the lcr is 6 1/2 inches long. I held both and found the grips on the lcr where in fact longer, wider, bigger, whichever, making it harder to conceal in the pocket. IMHO,the 442 is easier to conceal. Put one in each hand and then in a pocket and the 442 " seems " lighter and smaller.
Just the facts, not bein' picky.
I dry-fired them both, again, this weekend.
The trigger on the LCR was lighter, and, when it cleans it self up (get's 'married'- as they all do) it'll be really nice.
The LCR TC does have a larger grip. I don't like it and don't need a seeing eye dog. I love the standard grip.
I'll take 1/8" in lentgh and less weight and lighter trigger v. a fatter cylinder etc.
Both are simliar in size, completely uncomparable engineering wise and both fine firearms. I can find no real flaw in choosing either one and would be happy with either, or both!
I also don't think the LCR is a child of market hype anymore than the AW Smith's.
I don't think the 642 is lighter than the LCR ? It spec's 15 ounces to the LCR 13. Two ounces more. You have to go high $$$'s Scandium frame/Titanium cylinder to get a couple of ounces less than the LCR. For about $400 more than the 642 or LCR. I can't tell the weight difference in my hand when the 642 and the LCR are loaded with five rounds. Maybe others can. Two ounces different out of 15 ounces plus ammo is not a lot. Neither of us wanted a .357 at this weight/barrel length.
Different shapes ? A bit, for sure. Put them in my DeSantis "SuperFly" pocket holster, hard to tell.
I think it is a toss-up, mostly just personal preference. Some people don't like plastic. I like the LCR a lot, especially the trigger. But, I'm happy with my 642. It does amazingly accurate "sandbag groups" at 7 yards. That is compliments of the laser sight versus the front ramp/rear notch with 66 year-old eyes. Target stuff, not self-defense.
I haven't tried the LCR for sandbag accuracy. Both guns will do 7 yards "vital organ body hits" on paper just as fast as I can fire them, just like as intended. But, I had to practice.
But, if I had the chance to fire them "before" as much as I have now, I'd go with the LCR with CT grips.
My lady friend loves her LCR. Doesn't like my 642 so much, especially not its trigger pull.
Call all those opinions above "hype" if you will. I've never had any Ruger or S&W guns before.
And, I've never had any double-action revolvers before either.
So, I have no dog in this hunt. Just trying to learn "something new to me".

Volvo XC70
The Volvo XC70 is a jack of all trades and master of none. …
With the introduction of this third-generation model, the Mercedes C-Class became truly competitive with the BMW 3 Series.
While the Mercedes still isn't as sharp to drive as the BMW, it compensates with a softer, gentler ride. In fact, the overriding impression of this version of the C-Class is one of comfort, even if the four-cylinder diesel engines are disappointingly noisy.
Head room is noticeably tighter in the rear seats than it is in the Audi A4 of the same era, but average-sized adults will still fit and the boot has enough room for a couple of big suitcases or golf bags.
It's worth buying as recent a C-Class as possible because the dashboard received significant styling, quality and equipment updates as the car aged.

Ice age constraints on climate sensitivity
There is a new paper on Science Express that examines the constraints on climate sensitivity from looking at the last glacial maximum (LGM), around 21,000 years ago (Schmittner et al, 2011) (SEA). The headline number (2.3ºC) is a little lower than IPCC's "best estimate" of 3ºC global warming for a doubling of CO2, but within the likely range (2-4.5ºC) of the last IPCC report. However, there are reasons to think that the result may well be biased low, and stated with rather more confidence than is warranted given the limitations of the study.
Climate sensitivity is a key characteristic of the climate system, since it tells us how much global warming to expect for a given forcing. It usually refers to how much surface warming would result from a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere, but is actually a more general metric that gives a good indication of what any radiative forcing (from the sun, a change in surface albedo, aerosols etc.) would do to surface temperatures at equilibrium. It is something we have discussed a lot here (see here for a selection of posts).
Climate models inherently predict climate sensitivity, which results from the basic Planck feedback (the increase of infrared cooling with temperature) modified by various other feedbacks (mainly the water vapor, lapse rate, cloud and albedo feedbacks). But observational data can reveal how the climate system has responded to known forcings in the past, and hence give constraints on climate sensitivity. The IPCC AR4 (9.6: Observational Constraints on Climate Sensitivity) lists 13 studies (Table 9.3) that constrain climate sensitivity using various types of data, including two using LGM data. More have appeared since.
It is important to regard the LGM studies as just one set of points in the cloud yielded by other climate sensitivity estimates, but the LGM has been a frequent target because it was a period for which there is a lot of data from varied sources, climate was significantly different from today, and we have considerable information about the important drivers – like CO2, CH4, ice sheet extent, vegetation changes etc. Even as far back as Lorius et al (1990), estimates of the mean temperature change and the net forcing, were combined to give estimates of sensitivity of about 3ºC. More recently Köhler et al (2010) (KEA), used estimates of all the LGM forcings, and an estimate of the global mean temperature change, to constrain the sensitivity to 1.4-5.2ºC (5–95%), with a mean value of 2.4ºC. Another study, using a joint model-data approach, (Schneider von Deimling et al, 2006b), derived a range of 1.2 – 4.3ºC (5-95%). The SEA paper, with its range of 1.4 – 2.8ºC (5-95%), is merely the latest in a series of these studies.
Definitions of sensitivity
The standard definition of climate sensitivity comes from the Charney report in 1979, where the response was defined as that of an atmospheric model with fixed boundary conditions (ice sheets, vegetation, atmospheric composition) but variable ocean temperatures, to 2xCO2. This has become a standard model metric (because it is relatively easy to calculate. It is not however the same thing as what would really happen to the climate with 2xCO2, because of course, those 'fixed' factors would not stay fixed.
Note then, that the SEA definition of sensitivity includes feedbacks associated with vegetation, which was considered a forcing in the standard Charney definition. Thus for the sensitivity determined by SEA to be comparable to the others, one would need to know the forcing due to the modelled vegetation change. KEA estimated that LGM vegetation forcing was around -1.1+/-0.6 W/m2 (because of the loss of trees in polar latitudes, replacement of forests by savannah etc.), and if that was similar to the SEA modelled impact, their Charney sensitivity would be closer to 2ºC (down from 2.3ºC).

Since Romney announced his choice on Saturday, Republicans have cheered Ryan's willingness to put forth bold budget proposals while Democrats contend those proposals will create vulnerabilities for the GOP.
The Concord Coalition encourages both parties to pursue serious and substantial debate this year over the difficult fiscal and economic challenges facing the country – the kind of debate that can help the American public understand the magnitude of those challenges and the importance of dealing with them in a timely fashion.
Candidates in both parties should resist the temptations to offer simplistic solutions, make unrealistic promises and pander to their audiences by suggesting that someone else can make all the necessary sacrifices.
Ideally, both the Republican and Democratic tickets should provide the public with credible and specific proposals to deal both with our short-term economic problems and the longer-term threat of runaway federal debt – and voters should weigh those proposals carefully.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Doc here,
On today's vehicles It IS a disaster..!!
Even on the most MODEST Vehicle today..If you reverse polarity, you will let the smoke out of :
The Alternator Diodes
The Regulator
The Dizzy Module (ECM)
The Computer
The CD/RADIO player
The Digital Clock
Any electronic Controls for Climate control..
The Instrument Cluster
Light bulbs aren't picky about what direction the power comes from, nor are things like flasher units, switches and the like..
But a DC motor with a reverse polarity SHOULD have turned backwards.. (Go figure?) ....
Imagine turning your heater on and watching all the stuff on the floor getting sucked up into it?
Years ago...hundreds of years ago..When I was in the Marine Corps, The Guys in the motor pool would Reverse push start them backwards in 5 th gear to get the engine to run Backwards (multi~fuels I guess weren't picky about which way they ran either)..and leave them Idling on the line..the poor driver would get in and discover he has 10 speeds backwards and one forward..
|Too Funny, I don't know if you guys are old enough to remember but back in the late 60's We used to see batteries hooked up backwards a lot. Back then with a generator most things worked OK. Remember having to Polarize the field by jumping the voltage regulator?? Just a few years prior all the cars were wired with a positive ground so the Old Timers were used to that. We used to notice it right off on a scope the coil ossilations were upside down the same as when the coil is wired backwards. Anyway just some Old Fogey input!!! hahaha

10-4 there ol' buddy. I'm a believer. If I hadn't experienced this myself, it would have been very difficult to comprehend. Anyone whose life is dull has not worked on cars much!!!

electrical headake
I swear to God this is true. Had a '61 Chevy with a 6 cylinder. 2 days after we bought it from the original owner ( who said he didn't want anything that wasn't a Ford in his driveway and since his son had left it in the driveway when he got married, he was selling it since it was still in his name ) we noticed that the battery was hooked up backwards---yes, backwards---negative to the starter and positive to the block. We decided "What the heck, let's turn it around", and when we did, the horn began blowing and would not stop until the relay was replaced. This is no remedy to your problem, but I was reminded of that incident when I read your dilemma. Most likely, you have a tilt steering wheel, and it is quite common for wires to get chaffed in those. Happy hunting.
|You just answered your question by stating that moving the column the horn stopped. The horn relay has constant power to it and the wire in the column is the ground that activates it and then blows the horn so the horn wire usually black on Chev. is rubbed through or touching in the column. Ray
Of the subject question. Do you know this guy?

|Think I would start with unplugging the horn relay or take it apart and see if the contacts are shorted or if the horn pad in whell is doing it. Ray
OK, my money is on troy. I got 2 penneys, who wants a nickle? 2 penneys for a nickle says it's the horn, any takers?? Only the first taker, I don't want to pay off 16,000 guys!! LOL

You well find the problem in the horn circuity, ether in the column, or the horn relay, possably the horn.

|WOW what a nice but long post i meen i just about dosed off try'in to reed it all (lol) but any way i got this truck from my father for witch is the reason that he gave the truck to me. But we were messin with try'in hook the battery up when the horn just started to blow buy would not quit,while dear ol dad was in the cab so he could try and start the thing after i got the battery hook up. But do remember that when the horn was blow'in dear ol dad kinda shook the steering wheel and made the horn spudder some but to my nollage the only thing that he ever did to the truck was hook fog light's up on the bumper
How come the horn started blowing??? Did you check the horn wiring?

Excellent and informative post!!!
Although a long read; I suggest it be printed out for future reference.
Have you hooked up any aftermarket equipment lately that runs directly off of a hot? Do you have any aftermarket equipment at all/ What kind of gauge do you have inside for the battery? Does the gauge show a charge or a draw on the battery while you are driving? Do you have anything like a cell charger plugged into the cigarette lighter? What are your driving habits? Do you drive only at night for only a couple of miles or do you drive in the daytime? I ran across this awhile back. It is a good way to test for a bad battery:
How to find the cause for an slow draining battery
Many Land Rovers are plagued by the 'flat battery' syndrome, especially the newer ones. After some days of not being driven the battery is dead flat. Under normal everyday driving those sympthoms do not appear.
The problem is in most cases a slow drain somewhere. It does not take that much to empty even a large battery over 3 or 4 days. An simple underhood or interior light is more than enough. But how to find it?
First make sure your battery is ok and fully loaden. Even a new battery is sometimes faulty. Drive to your local parts store and have them check your battery with an load tester.
If this is ok make sure your electronics don't mind being disconnected. Ask your dealer or have a look in your owners manual. Elder petrol engines (except new shape RRs) and all diesels except the TD5 are no problem.
Disconnect the positive clamp on your battery but take care not to touch the body metal with the wrench when doing this.
Now connect an small light between the + terminal and the clamp. Put the clamp on a rag so it can't touch the sheet metal. If any drain is present the light will glow. Or you can check the amount of drain with an small ammeter. An drain of 1-2 Watts can be tolerated. Next pull the fuse for the mechanic clock and the radio. Still any current flowing (light on)?
Ok, so you really have a problem. Now start pulling the fuses in the fuse box one by one until the light goes off. This is the circuit in which the problem lies. Check your manual or the indications in the cover of the fuse box to see which systems are connected to that fuse.
The next steps depend on the systems concerned. Try disconnecting each one of the parts connected in the circuit. Again it's the same - when the light goes out you've found the problem.
Even better than a light bulb is an buzzer. Many people have one of those annoying little rascals lying around. Use it.
In very new vehicles there are so many electric and electronic gadgets that problems are very common. Especially the immobiliser / alarm is known to be a can of worms. Those have best been left to an qualified auto electrician
Then there is this:
Battery complications:
don't let it put put a drain on you
Almost everyone who drives knows the frustration of a failed vehicle battery. No matter when a battery fails to start a car, it never seems to be at a convenient time or place, and the complications of finding and installing a replacement battery can seem endless.
Knowing what to expect from a vehicle battery and what can be done to prevent inconvenient battery failure are the keys to avoiding this common and stressful event.
Despite warranties that claim an expected battery life of four, five or six years, most vehicle batteries will fail after three and a half years, or even sooner, said Jeff Withrow, manager, Approved Auto Repair at AAA Colorado. The constant chemical reaction inside a lead-acid battery, vibration caused by driving and extreme changes in temperature all conspire to rob a battery of its ability to be recharge.
Car owners often assume their vehicle battery will be fine after a jump-start, only to experience a second battery failure the next time they try to re-start the vehicle. Car batteries are seldom tested as part of a regular vehicle inspection and maintenance routine, and many owners assume their vehicle battery will last much longer than it actually will.
"To end this frustration motorists will need to change their thinking about batteries," said Withrow. "New technology has made it possible to reliably determine the condition of a vehicle battery in a few minutes without removing the battery from the vehicle. This test should be requested by vehicle owners anytime they have their vehicle inspected."
The major functions of the battery are to supply current to the starter motor that starts the engine, provide power to electrical components and accessories when the vehicles engine is not running and to supply current when the electrical system load exceeds charging system capability. The battery also acts as a voltage stabilizer.
Before replacing a battery, have the battery, electrical and vehicle-charging system checked for problems. Signs of a weak battery are slow engine cranking, dim headlights and illumination of the battery/charging system warning light on the dashboard. Keeping the battery case clean by wiping it down with a moist paper towel and mild detergent will help reduce any current drain caused by dirt or grime. Batteries loose 30 percent of their power at temperatures around freezing and over 60 percent when temperatures drop to zero degrees.
Corrosion around the terminal connections and battery hold down can be cleaned with a small stiff brush and a solution of baking soda and water. Rinse the battery with water, but be careful not to stain floors or driveways.
If the battery has removable vent caps, check the electrolyte fluid level. It should be above the tops of the plates inside the battery. If fluid is needed add distilled water, but do not overfill.
Battery terminal connections should be tight. Adjust loose fittings or replace fittings that have cracked. When working around automotive batteries always wear proper eye protection, gloves and never smoke or work near an open flame. Explosive hydrogen gas is present and may explode.
Instructions for jump starting a failed battery can be found in vehicle owners manuals, however, jump-starting can be dangerous and motorists that are uncertain about battery maintenance and safety should seek professional assistance from a certified technician or a qualified emergency road service provider.
When selecting a new battery, always choose one that is of the same physical size as the original battery. This will ensure proper fit and avoid excessive vibration, which will shorten battery life.
Never install a battery with a lower than the vehicle manufacturers recommended rating.

Known as Arsenal's Mr Reliable, Bacary Sagna is one of Arsenal's most consistent performers. Since joining the Club from French side Auxerre in 2007 Bac has established himself as an ever-present at right-back with the kind of consistency that managers crave.
With over 100 appearances already under his belt, our French international not only displays incredible positional awareness, tough tackling and aerial power, but also pace and precision to prove himself as a dangerous attacking threat in the process.
It is these attributes that make him one of the world's most sought after right-backs and we're gifted to have him wear the number 3 in the famous red and white. Not only that, we're also incredibly fortunate to have him as our Junior Gunners Welcome To Our World ambassador.
"I'm so excited to be the Junior Gunners ambassador for the Welcome To Our World age group this season. I love going along to the special events we have and meeting our fans, I can't wait for the first one. Arsenal have the best fans in the world so I'm really looking forward to meeting our youngest fans and helping them grow to love Arsenal as much as I do!"

Burdens are lifted where prayer abound. Yokes, will be destroyed fully wherever prayer dwells. It becomes a challenge to pray. The devil knows that prayer is the answer to all things. Pray beloved even when you feel the horrid struggle not to. Pray even if it seems like it will cost you your life. Trust God, it will not.
Pray until you feel you have run a long race that makes you tired. For my beloved, it is in those fervent effectual prayers that our savior will, avails much. He will avail in all your endeavors. Allow him to guide thee through prayer. Trust me; the pilgrim progress will bear a yoke so light you will barely know it is there.
It is so true that the plans of old slew foot devil is to cause us not to pray. In addition, there are times when God himself impress it up our hearts to pray now, but we find time for other events and put God on the back burner. We should persist in Prayer whether or not the spirit of God tells us to. We need to understand the effectiveness of prayer when we pray.
