a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 490
interesting points, but im not quite sure exactly what you mean. this begs some questions of me as a 'zinester' and i do not represent any sub culture, any group, any ism for that matter...but are you assuming that everyone that utilizes the term 'zinester' are collectively some hip crowd of punk diy revivalist? have you not considered the large and prominent number of makers of art zines, comic zines, contemporary art review zines? 'zinester' is that lack of a better term, yes we are writers, poets, artists but we use our talents and showcase our skills and ideas via zines; hence we can be classified as generic 'zinesters.' are there not multiple venues and media to express your ideas, art, writing in your perspective? as a 'zinester' i use my poetry, creative prose, drawing abilities and have chosen to showcase these via zines; however i also publish in other venues such as literary magazines, anthologies, and my own books---but when im making zines i see myself as a 'zinester.' i dont know....perhaps im not making sense...then again who knows? whats your take?
Personally, I prefer the term "zine publisher" as opposed to "zinester" because I dislike the trivialization/infantilization/cuteification that happens when adding unnecessary suffixes. Zinester, hipster, scenester.... those words just irritate me on a semantic level.
So, if I need to label myself with something, it's "zine publisher". And I don't write zines about making out, bikes, or polyamoury, but curate comp zines about cleaning, television, and stuff you threw out.
Also - "Underworld Crawl" is a GREAT zine that deserves a much wider audience.
I've actually never thought of this this way but I must say it really doesn't bother me and to be honest, I actually kinda like the term. But then again, I am a moron that enjoys reading zines about rooftops and riding bikes. I think whenever it's mentioned how a zine "should be", it's going against what zines really are - anything you want. I understand not wanting to be lumped in with a scene, but I think it's a rather lovely "scene", and to be dissing people who makes zines about things you're not interested in, seems somewhat elitist.
I think too, I don't consider using the term "zinester" as a limited term, I don't see it meaning "oh everyone who is a zinester writes about rooftops". I see it as a term that means someone who makes a zine, and when I think of that, what comes to mind are people who write about queer issues, social issues, political issues, creative writing, art alongside everything else. I guess if you're embarrassed to be lumped in with the people who write about things that you don't enjoy, I can understand the balking at the term. Personally, I don't mind that. I enjoy that I'm part of a diverse "scene".
I don't object to people not liking the term and wanting to call themselves, say a "writer that uses the zine medium" instead though. As much I don't mind the term zinester, I do kind of understand what you're saying. Represent old-school right?
I write a zine to get my thoughts and writing out into a zine AND I also really dig being part of the community. I'm proud to be a zinester. Looks like I might stand alone on that one though going by the comments so far, eep. Maybe because I'm not old school and didn't make zines pre-1999? Am I the irritating new breed?
I've used the term zinester for 20 years, it doesn't bother me at all. But I rarely get hung up on words or feel confined or pigeon-holed by them.
"The term zinester and the zine community that is being pushed is really confining. I write a zine because it is a medium I have access to, not because I want to be a part of a community. Have you heard of a book community that just calls themselves that because they all make books? Republican writers chilling with Leftists and people who write cookbooks chilling with a sci-fi author because they are all booksters?"
This is what I don't get. By joining WMZ and posting this message, you joined a community. You may not want to be in a community, but you are. Have you ever attended a zine fest? Do you trade zines with other people? Community! It's underground (sort of), but it's there.

Bristol Man Has Had Hiccups For 27 Years
BRISTOL, Tenn. - One Bristol, Tennessee man is holding his breath for a miracle. But after years of wishing, he's starting to lose hope.
Bob Taylor drinks a glass of water every day in hopes to get rid of a little problem. "I have hiccups," Taylor said, "but they never did go away."
He told us Wednesday that he's had them for 27 years. "I lay in bed at least an hour or more before I doze off. I wake up in the morning, still there," he said.
Taylor says that he's gone to doctors for help but has had no luck yet. "The VA said they could operate on the nerve in my stomach, but it wasn't serious enough," he explained. "To me it's serious." Doctors tell us that nerve is what causes the diaphragm to have spasms, which helps create the hiccups.
We checked online to see what remedies we could find, but Taylor says he?s already tried them all. "[I] stood on my head, drank water, sugar water," said Taylor. Taylor continued to say that he even tried a spoon full of mustard. "I tried to eat it. Ew."
Fortunately for Taylor, there are a few other options. "There are medications for people with chronic hiccups, so we try and use these when nothing else works," said Dr. Grat Correll.
Taylor says those medications make him sick, so he'd rather have surgery. All he knows is that he wants rid of them. "They can operate, I really don't care what I have to go through to stop them," said Taylor.
We learned from Dr. Correll that men are three times more likely to get chronic hiccups than women. Many times hiccups are actually early signs to other illnesses and even sometimes cancer.

Afternoon everyone. I have been looking on the net for some piano hinges for my gauntlets Im putting together; the problem is the smallest size I have found is sold in 3 foot lengths. So I was wondering if this is what everyone got and just cut them down to size. Or if anyone knew of a place or site that you could get smaller lengths. Any help would be appreciated.
Have a good one,

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture our MatchDay Show team - and an Arsenal blogger - have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Sunday and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck, former Gunner Adrian Clarke and Tim Clark of Arse2Mouse.
Read on for their post-match thoughts and see what they had to say before the game.
And breathe, Arsenal fans. It was uncomfortable, it was gut-wrenching and far too nervy at times but they did what they had to do and Arsenal will be in next season's Champions League. Should Marton Fulop ever decide to escape the West Midlands there will be no shortage of friends in north London, but make no mistake this was another gutsy Gunners display. Essentially this game typified the season as a whole. Like Norwich last week, Yossi Benayoun's early opener looked to have provided the perfect start. But, like Norwich last week, trouble was just around the corner. Arsène Wenger will be delighted with his side's resilience, however, and can now rest easy knowing Arsenal had what it took once more. Third place should be celebrated regardless of its lack of silverware given where the team had to come from to get this far. It's one better than last season - now to build on this next year.
And so Arsenal's Champions League future comes down to the final game of the season. We know it didn't have to be this way - four winless games in a row tells its own story - but, in truth, Arsène Wenger's side should be delighted they still have their fate in their own hands. Few would have backed Aston Villa to hold Tottenham but that they did and the ball is firmly back in the Gunners' court. This is not about a pretty performance - it's simply about getting the job done. Arsenal were poor defensively against Norwich and they must avoid a repeat at the back if they are to come away from this game with the required result. The right-back slot has opened up with the loss of Bacary Sagna but the potential return of Theo Walcott should provide a boost. In West Brom they face a side capable of beating anybody on their day and the Baggies will be keen to give Roy Hodgson a proper send-off before his England tenure begins. But Arsenal have what it takes to get the win they need so badly and I expect them to get it.
It was uncomfortable to watch for long periods, but much to our collective relief Arsenal just about got their noses over the line in the end. It was a pretty crazy game and it's easy to say that stand-in West Brom keeper Marton Fulop gifted the Gunners two precious goals - and he did so quite spectacularly - but I was still impressed with the team's resilience and determination not to crumble under pressure in the second half. Off the ball Arsenal have a lot of work to do, and their sloppiness was deservedly punished twice in the opening period, but at least they regrouped this week and focused hard on not conceding another. Andre Santos' first-half strike was a fabulous moment but the highlight for me was Kieran Gibbs' brave lunging tackle to deny Billy Jones a certain goal late in the game. It was one of the tackles of the season. This wasn't a great performance and the neutrals may argue that we got lucky but none of that really matters now, does it? We grabbed that all-important third spot and on balance I think it's a place the Gunners have earned on merit.
Arsenal got lucky last weekend. The performance against Norwich was well below par and it was puzzling to understand why. Thankfully we have got another bite at the third-place cherry and I fancy us to grasp it this time. West Brom are dangerous opponents with the ability to score goals but their home form has been surprisingly poor. No one has lost more in front of their own fans more often than the Baggies have – except the teams in the bottom three. This has to give the Gunners confidence, and I don't buy into the theory that Roy Hodgson's side will up their game to give him one last hurrah either. If anything the England situation might help Arsenal. The players must concentrate like never before, press the opposition well, and then of course take the chances that will inevitably come their way. I'm confident. I believe Arsenal deserve third place, and now they have to go out there, hold their nerve and prove that they are good enough to claim it.
Well, as predicted, that was a right old nerve rattler. From the moment West Brom equalised to the final whistle I was shaking like the proverbial defecating dog. I don't hugely want to dwell on the performance, beyond saying that Márton Fülöp will always be welcome at the Emirates (if not in goal). I've read a few journalists being sniffy about Arsenal fans celebrating finishing third so energetically. Nuts! For any club, nailing local bragging rights - especially given all that gap guff - would be party time. Throw in guaranteed Champions League football, and all that goes with it in terms of attracting talent, and we should have no shame about breaking out the red-and-white bunting (Does anyone even still own bunting?). The truth is, a few months into the season I did not believe this day would come. But praise Bergkamp it has, and now we can collectively exhale. All the Club needs to do is get the Dutchman signed up, bring a couple more new faces in, then break out the deckchairs and enjoy the summer. Final thought has to go to Pat Rice for giving us more than four decades of unswerving dedication, and also to Mr Benayoun. He might have been here for a lot less, but he'll also forever have plenty of friends in N5.
I spent the small hours of Tuesday night re-watching Fever Pitch on Film 4, as did a lot of you judging by the trending topics on Twitter. Obviously it would be absurd to compare Anfield '89 with Hawthorns '12, but there's no doubt it's another massive away game on the last day of the season. We can consider the fact that we once used to fight for titles rather than qualification for another competition at a later date. For now, what matters is that even though there's no silverware at stake, the prize remains huge because finishing in third spot will give Arsenal the best chance of planning next season's campaign. Plus there's the matter of bragging rights over *them*, and watching the Champions League final without feeling like our future depends on it. Ugh. As for the game, Brunt missing out for WBA is handy, and I'll be slightly more relaxed if Odemwingie and Thomas are also elsewhere. I'd like to think Roy's thoughts will already be on the frothing chalice that is the England job. What I won't say is that this is the sort of game we 'should' win. There have been too many of those from which we've taken nothing. All you can be sure of is we're collectively going to endure 90 minutes of the kind of pressure usually only experienced by submariners being attacked with depth charges. Uh, though hopefully we'll make slightly more noise. In any case: enjoy!

The Canisius College volleyball team set a program record with a .554 attack percentage and swept Saint Peter's 25-19, 25-12, 25-11 to improve to 16-10 overall and 13-3 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. With the Golden Griffins' win combined with Manhattan's five-set win at Niagara on Sunday afternoon, the Golden Griffins enter the final weekend of the regular season tied with Fairfield in first place in the conference standings.
Senior Samantha Good had 13 kills and a .667 attack percentage to go along with six blocks and three service aces. Junior Emily Elek had eight kills on 12 attack attempts in two sets. Junior Sydney Palka added 26 assists while senior Allyson Severyn had 12 digs. Freshman Lauren Siebert recorded six kills on nine attack attempts with two blocks in two sets.
"You couldn't have scripted a better weekend for our seniors in their last two home matches," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "We had some Senior Day jitters early in the first set, but once we settled down, we played some high-quality volleyball.
"It is also encouraging to see the future of this program as they played very well in the third set. We are going to need some of those players in the next two weeks as we strive to win a conference championship."
Saint Peter's (1-30, 0-17 MAAC) won four of the first five points before Canisius used an 11-3 run to take a 12-7 lead on a kill from junior Roxanne Hernandez. The Peacocks didn't go away, eventually tying the score at 16-16 after a block from Kassi Wirth and Lexandra Wirth. Canisius then scored the next three points, capped by a block from Good and junior Jessica Warner, to take control of the set. A kill from junior Emily Elek would close out the set.
Canisius broke open the second set with 6-0 run, to turn an 8-6 lead into a 14-6 advantage. Siebert had two kills during the run, which also included a service ace from Warner. The Peacocks could never get closer than five points as kills from freshman Grace Streicher and Warner wrapped up the second set.
The Griffs were never seriously threatened in the third set, winning the first five points and not looking back. Canisius had three separate runs of at least five points in the set. Freshman Rachel Kline had three kills for the Griffs in set while freshman Amy Osinski had two kills on three attack attempts. Freshman Grace Streicher also had nine assists.
Canisius plays its final two regular-season matches next weekend, taking on Iona on Saturday, and Fairfield on Sunday. Match time each day is set for 2 p.m.
Notes: Prior to the start of the match, the Canisius volleyball program honored Good, Severyn and senior Logan Sulongga... Canisius broke the program record of .478 for an attack percentage in a three-set match, previously set against Quinnipiac on Sept. 2, 2006... Canisius defeats Saint Peter's for the ninth straight year in the KAC... Palka had 26 assists on 45 set attempts for a season-best percentage of .578... Severyn had her 38th straight match with double-digit digs and now has 2,207 digs in her career... In the last five matches, Good is averaging 3.47 kills per set and 1.37 blocks per set and has a .409 attack percentage... Good's .667 attack percentage is the highest by a MAAC player with at least 12 kills in a match this season and is the third-highst by a Golden Griffin in program history... The .554 attack percentage is also the highest by a MAAC team in a match this season.

Monitor Audio has unveiled two new iPod/iPhone docks, the i-deck 100 and i-deck 200. If a £50 dock just won't cut it, this is a pair to check out.
The Monitor Audio i-deck 100 is the smaller of the two, dinky enough to use as a kitchen or bedside unit. However, it still knows how to pack-in speaker units. Behind its front grille are hidden two 2in bass drivers and two 19mm tweeters. This traditional hi-fi-style driver arrangement should hopefully supply the unit with a detailed-but-powerful sound. One step up is the i-deck 200. Aesthetically it's similar, but its body is larger, as are its drivers. It uses two 4in bass cones and a pair of 25mm tweeters.
Where most other manufacturers of docks are now intent on packing wireless Airplay streaming into their docks, Monitor Audio has kept its focus on one thing - sound quality. There's a built-in DAC (digital to analogue converter), bypassing the sub-audiophile circuitry of the iPod/iPhone. Your music source, whether it's an iPod or iPhone, is directly plugged into the dock socket on the front. Its floating design means there's no need for any converters here though. For non-iOS sound sources, the i-deck twins also offer a 3.5mm auxiliary input. They both come with remote controls.
Each of the drivers, both tweeters and bass cones, use a C-CAM metal design. This stands for Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium - a big step up from the paper cones seen in budget iPod docks. C-CAM was originally designed for use within jet engines. The drivers also use their own class-D amplifiers, seen in top-end products like Philips's DS9800. Both docks employ Monitor Audio's BLM tech (Bass Level Management), which aims to keep the low end nice and powerful even when you're listening at low volumes. We'll find out whether it comes up with the goods in our full review.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of all here is the APC system. It stands for Automatic Position Correction, and uses a microphone to assess the layout of any room the i-deck dock is in. The dock fires out sound and the microphone effectively monitors the room's response to this sound. The i-deck then alters its output to suit the sonic personality of the room. This happens each time the system is turned on, so you don't even have to think about it.
Monitor Audio may have the audiophiles in the office slavering already, but we still don't know two very important details - the i-deck 100 and 200's prices. We can't imagine this level of quality will come cheap. We'll be back with full reviews, including the all-important price tags, soon.

A Brief History of the Tire
July 28th, 2016
The tire is such a commonplace item -- it's on every car, every truck, every bicycle, every aircraft. It's easy to not give the tire a second thought, but like every other technology, the tire has an interesting history of advances and failures.
In the 19th century, carriages and wagons used steel strips for "tires" on their wheels, with the punishing sort of ride that you'd expect. In later years, they were shod with strips of natural rubber, which was an improvement but was still problematic. Solid rubber still rode pretty rough, and the natural, uncured rubber would get gummy in hot weather and shrink and harden in cold temperatures. Charles Goodyear was able to help with the invention of vul ...[more]

What's Leaking From My Car?
July 14th, 2016
You go out to your car, start it up, pull out of your parking space and see a puddle of...something...where you were parked a moment ago. This is never a good feeling. What could it be?
Fortunately, some automotive fluids are dyed different colors to make this a little easier to narrow down.
Does it appear to be water? Were you recently running your A/C? Chances are that's just condensation from the A/C system, which drips out through a rubber tube and is perfectly normal. No worries there.
For years, antifreeze was dyed a bright green to make it easy to identify. Today, other antifreeze formulations can be colored pink or orange, but it's still not hard to figure out -- antifreeze has a swe ...[more]

An old man's wish to build a mosque that would be open to any branch of the Muslim religion, even Alevis who are hated by most Muslims, has escalated into a major project which eventually will include religious facilities for those of all faiths. Ihsan Dogramaci, 93, a prominent Turkish businessman, who is founder of Turkey's first private university, wanted to build a mosque and then decided the complex should include a synagogue for Jews and a church for Christians. He intended to carry out the wishes of his father who wanted a mosque that was open to both Alevis and Sunnis, but he went further than his father's dream and decided to include a synagogue and a chapel. "All of them can pray at the same place," he told the Turkish Daily News.
Before this interfaith edifice can become a reality, the Directorate of Religious Affairs must give its consent to this unusual center of religion. Sunni tradition requires entrance to the mosque must have a separate path from any leading to the other religious facilities. However, a major difficulty stems from Alevi beliefs which differ from those of Sunnis and even prayer would be different. Many Muslims do not regard Alevis as being part of their religion and view them as separate from Muslim culture and beliefs.
On hsi r ecent visit to Iraq, Prime Minister Recep Erdogan made clear to Shiite leaders, "I am neither Shiite nor Sunni, I am a Muslim." Hopefully, he can show the same tolerance toward those who are Alevi.

It is Sunday night at about 7:30 p.m. Eastern time, and Chapel Hill native Hanna Gardner has had approximately 90 minutes to get used to the idea that she is a national champion.
She grew up idolizing Tar Heel women's soccer players. "They were like gods to me," she says. "I would sit in the stands and it would pump me up so much to watch them play. When I was little, my dream was to play soccer for UNC. Just being able to watch such amazing players made me so much more passionate about the game."
And now she, Hanna Gardner, has just headed through the eventual game-winning goal in Carolina's 4-1 national championship victory over Penn State.
After the game, she first checked her phone, thinking she might call or text someone to share the incredible moment. But she picked it up and put it right back down. The sheer number of messages and calls she had received in just those few minutes after the game was too overwhelming.
She hugged her parents, who had made the trip to San Diego to watch their daughter, the one who wasn't really supposed to play all that much in her freshman season. They doubtless remember when she was a high schooler and leaning towards going out of state, another teenager who wanted to get away from home.
That changed when the Tar Heels began showing serious interest, and instead she chose the college a few miles away from home rather than a few states away from home.
The choice seems to have worked out. She started every game but one and played more minutes than everyone but Satara Murray. She is a defender, not a goal scorer, but...well...sometimes, things happen.
Early in the second half, after the Tar Heels and Nittany Lions had gone into the halftime locker room tied at one, Carolina earned a quick corner kick. Here, let Gardner tell it, since she probably needs to practice the story she'll be telling for the rest of her life (but you'll have to ask her to tell it, because even in the moments after the Tar Heels had claimed the 21st national title in program history, she was more eager to talk about Crystal Dunn and Kealia Ohai than she was to talk about herself):
"Katie Bowen was taking it, and I was going to go far post," she says. "There was no one marking me, and I was going to set a pick for Amber (Brooks). In the moment, I saw a gap, so I set the pick and then I went in the gap, and it was a perfect ball from Bowen.
"The whole thing happened very fast. I was on the ground, and I saw the ball roll in the goal and I was completely stunned."
Earlier in the day, the Tar Heels had crowded around a cell phone to watch a video compiled by various teams and players within the UNC athletic department wishing them luck. Eleven times, UNC has won the NCAA title within the borders of North Carolina. This one, though, was in San Diego, and a little slice of Chapel Hill was a welcome sight.
As she watched, Gardner was reminded of a letter written by senior Maria Lubrano to head coach Anson Dorrance. Lubrano, a High Point native, wrote, "I didn't want to go to Carolina because it was close to home. I wanted to go to Carolina because it felt like home."
The Chapel Hill product could relate to that letter. As could everyone-from Tyler Hansbrough to Mia Hamm to Bryn Renner-in the video.
"It was amazing," Gardner says. "I don't even know half of those people, and it was incredible to see how much they were supporting us. It shows how great our University is and how great our sports program is at Carolina."
Gardner was reminded that she had just played a championship soccer game for the Tar Heels in which Hamm sat in the stands cheering for her, and that by the time she got home, some girl, somewhere, would have gone out in the backyard, headed in a goal, and then screamed, "I'm Hanna Gardner!"
Gardner could only laugh. "This," she said, "is insane."
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and the author or co-author of seven books on the Tar Heels.

Information For...
Policy & Procedures Manual
The South Plains College Policy and Procedures manual contains information on policies and procedures which govern college operations.
Bylaws of the Board of Regents are designated with (BL). Policies of the Board of Regents are designated with (BP). Policies not designated (BP) are administrative operational policies.
The manual is distributed to all administrative and supervisory personnel including the Administrative Council, deans, directors and instructional departmental chairpersons.
The official copy of the manual is kept in the office of the Vice President for Finance and Administration. Updates will be issued to all who have manuals by this office.
The manual is organized according to a uniform alphabetical codification system. There are eight major sections, each devoted to a particular area of college operations. Those sections are as follows:
A. District Legal
Status, History and Purpose
B. Local Governance, Executive Functions and Organization
C. Business Services
D. Personnel
E. Faculty and Instruction
F. Students Policies and information
G. Community and Government Relations
H. Support Services
A code designation followed by -E denotes "exhibit". The item is a form, model, or support for content, not information per se'.
In addition, the manual is prefaced with a campus map, and definitions of college operational terms and schedules.
A comprehensive table of contents at the beginning of the manual is designated to accommodate expansion into new policy areas and ready reference to any topic area. Included may be references to codes and topics that do not appear in the manual at this time, but will/may be included at later dates.
In addition to the comprehensive table of contents, each main section of the manual is preceded by a table of contents which lists policy/procedure topics in that section with respective designation codes. Individual section tables of content may also include references to codes and topics to be added at a later date.
Pages in the manual are not numbered consecutively. Instead pages of each policy or procedure forms a numbered unit. For example, a four-page policy will be numbered 1 of 4, 2 of 4, 3 of 4, and 4 of 4.
Most items contain key words in the left margin of the page. The key words facilitate quick reference; however, they do not necessarily refer to all information included before the next margin note.
Updates will be issued on an as needed basis. The paging and codification systems provide convenient deletion, addition and substitution, since altering the pages of one policy or procedure doesn't affect any others.
At the bottom of each update issued the following information will appear:
- Date of Issue - The date on which the policy/procedure was issued in its most current form.
- Adoption or Amended Designation - A notation designating whether the update is an addition or a substitution to the manual.
- Nature of Revision - On substitutions to the manual the notation "EDIT" specifies that changes are structural only, whereas the notation "CONTENT" specifies changes in the substance of the policy or procedure.
- Authorized by - The officer giving final approval to the update.
Since the manual is compatible with the Texas Junior Community Colleges Policy Reference Manual, subject matter may be easily searched in both manuals.
The current edition of this manual represents the initial compilation of existing policies and procedures. Therefore, all policies and procedures included in the initial edition will not have bottom notes regarding date of issue, etc. This initial edition was prepared in 1991. Information included in this manual has been verified by appropriate college personnel and administration.

Subject: [mg24853] [mg24802] A simple problem
This is a possibly trivial problem, but it may be relevant for many
Mathematica users.
Suppose I have a function, I apply it to my data and I tag the result, eg:
example= function[data_]
I would like to use the tag without having to evaluate the function once and
again. Of course, this is possible within each Mathematica session. But I
would want to save the notebook, start a new session and then use the tag,
without having to run the function again (in my specific case, each time I
run it costs more than 2 hours of computer time). Is there a way?

Cadillac SRX Second Generation Forum (2010-2016) Discussion, GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue in Cadillac SRX / XT5 Forums; Originally Posted by firstname.lastname@example.com Unfortunately, the defective valving issue in the affected struts still has not been rectified. I call ...
Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
This is making me angry and it's not even my car. I can only imagine your level of frustration.
Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
The dealer is behind me 100% as they were when I owned by 2008 CTS prior to this new SRX. They also need to protect their interests as to warranty repair if GM Cadillac's authorization doesn't come through as they will not be reimbursed, they are frustrated as well. And GM Cadillac has told them verbally not to do anything to the vehicle until they get back to them. I'm a little confused because although they identified the thumping sound coming from the front struts with the internal valving issue, I've heard remarks like it may be the A-Frames? I hope it's not the A-Frames because I can just imagine how long it will take GM Cadillac to authorize that work! Hopefully it is the struts. Whoever said "Patience is a Virtue" did not own a 2010 SRX with bad struts!!!
Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
All I would say is that if they see an issue like this in the field, they have to identify the source, isolate the cause, and if needed re-engineer a part, get the change implemented by whoever is making these for us and then build up some stock... which if they put a change into production will take even longer since they will use that on the assembly line too.
That can take some time. If it is deemed to be "not dangerous" they might ask you to continue driving it. Not sure about the specifics of this situation but...
Once we call GM TAC (technical assistance center) our hands are often tied.
They can summarily deny any warranty claim that we were not instructed to perform by TAC or an engineer.
If the problem is in the part, getting a new part from GM stock might just temporarily fix it, leave it the same, or Heaven forbid make it worse.
Without more information it is hard to say.
With a side note of sarcasm... I could say you can always trade it in on a new Toyota...
(sorry... just kidding around)
I know it sucks but try to be patient and by all means call them every day and ask if they have made any progress.

Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
Thank You for your input "ewill3rd", I appreciate it. I just don't understand why they can't authorize two replacement OEM struts that are not defective? It seems there are alot of SRX's out there without this strut problem, therefore non-defective struts are also out there. Wouldn't you think?
Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
I think the problem here is that the source of the concern is unknown and it sounds like they suspect production parts.
Yeah it could be a shock, but it could be the knuckle, a control arm bushing, a sway bar link.... it is hard to say.
Just because one does it and others don't doesn't mean that getting new parts will fix it, if that makes sense. It could be (COULD) a production issue and they want to get it rectified. You'd have to admit if they fixed it and it came right back you'd be just as upset if not even moreso.
Maybe everyone's does it (not to the same degree) but they don't notice it yet.
From what I have seen and heard it sounds like they have initiated an engineering investigation which unfortunately takes time.
If they weren't working on a fix they would be having your dealership replace parts. As I said it sounds like they are trying to figure it out and get parts they KNOW will fix it rather than spend resources on something that might not.
While I understand you'd like them to attempt something just consider all the things they are trying to balance.
If I hear of anything I'll certainly speak up....
I didn't show you this... (This is a PI, which is non-published information) it kind of confirms what I have been saying.Condition/Concern:
You may encounter a noise coming from the front suspension that is descbribed as "a loose lumber noise" or a "ball dribbling" type noise.
Inspect the suspension components to confirm there are no loose components.
Confirm that the noise is not related to front brake pad rattle that is reviewed in PIT4891.
If NO issues are found related to either of the above steps, DO NOT replace suspension parts for this concern. Engineering is aware of the issue and working toward a fix. This PI will be updated when new parts become available.
Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
I understand where you are coming from. I totally love this 2010 SRX and understand a new "Generation" Vehicle such as the SRX is going to have glitches and issues that need to be ironed out. But look at it from the Customer's/Consumer's point of view. Take yourself out of the Automotive World and what if you purchased a nice Samsung or Sony Big Screen TV that made loud static noises every 15 to 30 seconds, pretty aggrevating and annoying isn't it. Now you call the Manufacturer and they tell you "We are working on a fix".....? I know what you are thinking "Apples and Oranges" not the same as the Customer Assistance Rep over at GM/ Cadillac told me.
Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
Belive me, I know where you are at.
I am totally sympathetic to customer's plights and I have seen some harrowing stuff.
I am not saying at all that you are wrong for feeling the way you do, in fact I totally agree.
I am kind of a weird guy though, I really like GM and I have since I was a little kid. People might think I am goofy but I am not a mechanic because I couldn't hack it in another industry, I do it because it is what I love and I work for the company that I want to work for and try to support them.
Do they do stupid stuff? Sure.
I am not trying to protect them from their customers, I am just trying to share my perspective.
Most people on here get that and I appreciate it. You should be frustrated, and they should be able to do something to make you happy. I am just speaking with the voice of experience and offering my perspective.
I hate to be able to say this but historically speaking GM has always been sloppy with new vehicle releases. The CTS was the most concentrated effort I have seen GM put forth on the release of a new model car. The controls were very tight on production, transport, delivery, and right on down the line and they really impressed people with that effort. They are not doing that with SRX and it is a shame. From my seat it looks like we are back to the same game of getting it in production and letting the customers find the glitches. It really irritates me when they do that but as I said, I can't think of a new car GM has made in the 40 years of my lifetime (besides CTS) where that didn't happen. Lots of people will tell you not to buy a first year car for that very reason.
We usually get it all worked out by the time production stops on a carline...
All that being said, the only thing I want you to come away from this with is the understanding that GM is doing it their way, they are indeed working on a fix, and it is up to your dealer to stay in communication with you about it and work to get it fixed as fast as they can, even though it may not be fast enough from your point of view. Their hands are really tied until GM does what they are going to do.
I know we as dealers represent GM but... they don't ask us for advice when they make decisions and we don't build the cars or the parts to fix them. We are subject to doing the best we can to fix them with what they give us and sometimes it isn't enough.
I do have a channel of communication and me and a few guys I know have worked hard to make some real changes in the way things happen and it is so much nicer when they listen to us out here in the field.
I won't even go into some of the new issues we face... unless you want me to vent...
At any rate, as I said, if I hear of a status update on this issue I'll post it.
Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
Thanks ewill3rd. I totally appreciate your input and sharing your knowledge with me. I respect what you do as I do the Service Dept at my dealership. I know their hands are tied with warranty work. It's just a shame that I keep a $45K+ SRX in my garage more than I drive it. If and when this issue is resolved I am going to drive this SRX for days and start enjoying what everybody on this Forum seems to be doing. I will keep everyone posted.
Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
You are most welcome, I hope they find this fix soon.
Those are beautiful cars and it is a shame when stuff like this happens.
At least it won't get parking lot dings in the garage!!

Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
I have 2010 srx with 22000 miles still under warranty until the end of the year. is it possible for the dealer to check all systems and repair what ever is needed before warranty expired? I would
like to check the fuel system the car a bit at 85mph and pull to the right slightly
Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
yes that is a very common request that we often get from customers about to move on out of the warranty period
it also helps if you have any specific things that you want to have looked at
if the complaint gets documented as a concern under the warranty period the repair is still covered even if the dealer doesn't get the repair done until after the warranty expires

Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
Greeting Chris
I currently have all original 18" wheel on my SRX. If I upgrade to 20" wheels and tires would that void the warranty? will road noise increase even more? thanx
Re: GM/Cadillac SRX Warranty Repair Issue
the warranty question is best directed at your dealer who would be claiming any warranty issues with GM for you. Typically tires and the tread design of the tire have more to do with road noise than the wheels
in general any (aftermarket) modification/accessory that is added to you car can void the warranty for any repair if the modification/accessory causes the failure
technically GM has to prove that your modification caused the failure but you would have to sue them and take them to court to force them to prove it
things rarely go that far though
wheels are a common enough thing that people do to their cars that it is probably no big deal ... but again, talk to your dealer

I haven't had a chance to really test it yet, but I like it so far.
Looks like a good little fun gun that will not break the bank for ammo. Good luck with it.
Congratulations on a fine little .22. You must have excellent taste - 'cause I just bought the same gun today myself!
My wife has one as well. She loves it. Hopefully you bought one of the newer "B" models. We had issues with her first Mosquito and after failing to fix it twice Sig replaced it. Our local FFL noticed the model change. Apart from the cheaper paperwork that came with it we can't tell the difference.
The new one loves CCI Minimags and has had no issues.

Miami • LeBron James has never taken fewer shots in a playoff game than he did Sunday night, which at first glance might seem like a good thing for the Milwaukee Bucks.
It was not.
James scored 27 points on 9-for-11 shooting finishing two assists shy of a triple-double and Ray Allen scored 20 off the bench as the defending champion Heat picked up where they left off in the NBA playoffs a year ago, never trailing on the way to beating the Bucks 110-87 in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference first-round series.
"All I care about is the win," James said. "I didn't even know my stats. I just knew that we were playing efficient offensively besides the turnovers. We want to try to keep that going."
Dwyane Wade scored 16, Chris Bosh added 15 and Chris Andersen finished with 10 on 4 for 4 shooting for the Heat, who opened their title defense by holding Milwaukee to 42 percent shooting and outrebounding the Bucks 46-31.
Brandon Jennings scored 26 points and Monta Ellis added 22 for the Bucks, who have not won the opening game of a playoff series since May 2001.
Game 2 is Tuesday in Miami.
"We've got nothing to lose," Jennings said. "Nobody should be scared or anything. Let's just hoop."
James had taken only 11 shots in a playoff game twice before, and his postseason per-game average entering Sunday was just under 21 tries. But with the way he controlled the game Sunday, he didn't exactly need to shoot.
That's probably not the best of signs for the Bucks.
"Obviously, incredibly efficient," Bucks coach Jim Boylan said. "When you have a game like that, what can you do?"
Milwaukee came into the series with Jennings predicting his team would oust the reigning champions in six games.
They'll have to win four of five now for that to happen.
And with James playing like this, the odds would seem particularly slim. He had 10 rebounds and eight assists both game-highs.

Hi all,
I've been offered my first teaching job, at an English centre in Hong Kong! There's a few things on the contract that make me a bit nervous, but I don't know if this is just because I don't know how things work in Hong Kong / in the TEFL industry, or if it actually is because they're trying to rip me off and I should avoid at all costs. Please can anyone advise?
It's a 12 month contract with two weeks training and visa sponsorship, but there are clauses in the contract saying that if the employee leaves before the full year is up they have to give two months notice, forfeit half a month's salary and repay HKD5000 to cover visa costs. Is this reasonable? I know they have to cover their backs for their expenses and I've got no intention of leaving early, but it seems a bit draconian.
The pay is HKD20,000 a month, for 45 working hours a week (30 of which are teaching) over five days. Coming from the UK this sounds like a lot of hours but I know cities like HK have a culture of working very long hours. Does this sound fairly standard? (I'm not afraid of hard work! I just don't want to jump into a bad deal).
Thanks a million for any help anyone can give me. I can't wait to get to Hong Kong and start teaching, I just don't want to make the wrong decision through lack of experience.

How does a long Nordic summer weekend in Helsinki sound? Helsinki, a sea-town par excellence and an exciting, dynamic place is a stylish city as it dares to be different. The Design Capital 2012 will be the latest venue for the next Food Photography and Styling workshop and I am thrilled to invite you to join us for a magnificent weekend in Finland's stunning capital!
Once again I am collaborating with my dear friend Simone Van den Berg of Simone's Kitchen, whom I instructed alongside last September in Amsterdam, and the lovely Mari Moilanen of Finland's very popular blog Jotain maukasta. Mari was one of the participants of the Amsterdam workshop and it did not take long for us to put our heads together to plan this workshop.
We have put together a spectacular programme for our participants, where we hope the city's pulsating creativity will inspire us to create innovative works.
We will stimulate your skills with exercises covering the basic and advanced techniques of food styling and photography as well as hands-on intensive assignments, individual guidance and critique from the instructors. Furthermore, the main focus of this workshop will be on light: we will not only be spending a day in the park, in the soft and unique Nordic summer light learning how to harness natural light but we will also intensively cover aspects of artificial lighting using different types of lighting systems in one of Helsinki's hip wine cellar's.
We will work intensively together on honing your food styling and photography skills, with presentations, exercises and assignments, which we will guide and aid you to develop every step of the way.
There will be regional Finnish meals and spectacular Finnish wines to indulge in and a relaxing picnic in the park under the Nordic sun to contemplate and get to know each other.
I hope I have tempted you to join us this June for a fun-filled and intensive 2-day photography and styling workshop in Helsinki, Finland.

The Father of Archaeology
The exhibition "In the Shadow of the Pyramids" presents the work of the English archaeologist and Egyptologist Flinders Petrie's excavations in Egypt.
Petrie, who lived from 1853 to1942, was the first to illustrate and write down details of his discoveries, and thus he is known as the "Father of Archaeology".
Among the features of the eccentric Petrie's life are that he lived in a rock-cut tomb and had Lawrence of Arabia as an assistant.
Pieces in a jigsaw puzzle
The exhibition "In the Shadow of the Pyramids" will present fresh knowledge and new links between the Glyptotek's collection and other Petrie discoveries, which are now displayed in the British Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and other collections.
The exhibition will present a number of tomb discoveries, fragments of statues and tomb and temple walls, which came through Petrie to the Glyptotek. Visitors can get close to Petrie's discoveries when, for instance, a tomb painting with leopard tails and a relief with the snout of a crocodile have now been subjected to closer examination.
The Ny Carlsberg Foundation
Petrie's excavations were supported by various foundations and museums, particularly from Europe and the USA. For many years the Ny Carlsberg Foundation was one of Petrie's most generous sponsors.
After each excavation campaign Petrie distributed his finds according to clear agreements with the Egyptian state. First the Egyptian Museum in Cairo was allotted the unique finds; thereafter Petrie was permitted to divide up the other shares between the various sponsors, according to the extent of their contributions.
The Foundation handed over its share of the finds to the Glyptotek. As a result, today, the museum possesses over 200 of Petrie's finest discoveries, some of which come from the ancient sites of Memphis, Meidum and Hawara.

text: I've had and shot a few. I've personally not had any issues with them. I'm sure there are some bad stories out there. I've always gave them a real close look over checking how all the moving parts feel. so far I've dome pretty good. It's pretty hard to mess up a 22 revolver. If it was smooth to cock back and the trigger felt pretty crisp (I never just let the hammer drop I'll hold it with my thumb just to feel it break-I'll still ask the owner if that's OK) I'd probably go for it if I liked the price. I've bought some pretty funky 22 wheel guns though I had an old Model 27 RG that I loved to shoot for years and I'd never say those were good guns. It did pretty good though.

While I'm not sure what you said there, T Beek, the question that popped into my mind was: who's spending all that money at the walmarts,greens, med centers, and the sports stores to keep them in business?And what are the barriers to employment? Untrained workforce? No local infrastructure? No nearby transportation? What is the area doing to market itself to the rest of the world? Tourism? Or is there just too many people for the area to support at the desired wages?
Waiting for the 'promise' of better times
Here's another Hint; Walmart doesn't come close to providing a 'living wage'. They provide a 'dependant' (or slave )wage, and as iddee so eloquently explained, 'they/we get what they pay for' .
A 'living wage' is enough to pay the bills, keep food in the house and go see a movie or out to dinner or bowling once or twice a month.
However, if I pay them a 'good' or living wage, the bar is set quite a bit higher, don't you think? I'd much rather have folks that are 'happy' to work for me and thus loyal, as opposed to resentful, unproductive and unhappy.
Those I know personally who work at the Walmarts of the world, need 'another' source of income to survive
Sorry kathyp, but sarcasm doesn't come across well on the web, did you not notice the parenthesis around 'promise'? Some will do or say anything to twist the message, good job.
A 'Free' Society must step up IMO, even if 'forced' to do so. That's the 'realist' coming out of me.
I'd rather pay more (and not have to replace it after a year or two) for quality American made crap and be able to make a complaint or compliment to someone on the other end of the phone who talks like me. Just ME though
I'd rather pay more (and not have to replace it after a year or two) for quality American made crap and be able to make a complaint or compliment to someone on the other end of the phone who talks like me. Just ME though ;)thomas
No one has a 'right' to entertainment heh? Guess I'll just burn all my guitars, books etc... , That's a very telling assertion kathyp, considering we are the most entertained (least informed) people on the planet. Sounds like the voice of a 'Nitpicker" to me .
What is a living wage?I went into a Wal-mart today to make a purchase. A young, "maybe 25" man waited on me. I pointed to the item I wanted and said. I want a dozen of them. His reply was, " How many do you want? I repeated, a dozen. He looked at me strangely and asked, "How many is that".Now just how high a wage is this man worth?

text: I Quit Boys by Carrie Miller • February 13, 2013 My dating fast wasn't so much about the sacrifice of not going on actual dates, but more about the posture of my heart. When a guy paid me the slightest bit of attention, my heart was ready for wedding bells. I had a crush on a different boy all the time. I was so distracted by guys who weren't worth my time, and frankly, didn't even know my name, that I didn't have enough space in my heart for the One who was already captivated by me — Jesus Christ.

These are FP's older fiberglass gaunts that i just finished up for PEEL.I changed the flamethrower nozzles, and tubes from resin to metal matching them as close as possible, as well as installing, and painting and weathering the machined missile and darts he sent me.I believe those are from russrep.Correct me if I am wrong bro.
The lower shells are actually jango style as Chris thought these would match up to the top shells nicely.
the gaunts fit a bit tight though, so I think I am just gonna make some of my larger metal lower shells to add more room for the flightsuit and make them more comfy to wear.
anyhoo, here they are .I took some pics with flash and the others outside.

Developing Departmental Websites at Indiana University
Congratulations! You made it! If you're here, that can mean any number of things, but most likely you have inherited a departmental web site and are going to redesign it or you have been newly hired and are responsible for redesigning the department's site. Where do you begin?
If this sounds overwhelming, then you are in the right place. My goal, by the end of this post, is to help you understand the landscape for departmental and group web pages at the university and describe some resources to help you along your way.
Before we jump into the specifics, let's get a quick overview of what this post contains.
- The IU Brand – find out how to make your site conform to the visual identity that has been established for IU.
- Plan Ahead and Prepare – Not just a part of Leave No Trace, but also a crucial phase in web design and development. Understand the problem fully before you begin building a solution.
- Build, build, build – Put your planning to good use while putting together all the pieces of your site.
- Publish, Document, and Maintain – Once you have a design, it's time to publish it, create help documentation, and then maintain and grow the site through the future.
The process is not linear, nor does it have a finite ending point. Instead, the process looks something more like this:
After your planning phase, you build. Once built, you maintain. While maintaining, you build new features, etc. There will come a point when you need to break out of the Maintain-Build loop back to the planning phase. As you can see from the diagram above, there really is no end to the web design process, only changes of phase.

text: How curly is your hair? My curly haired friend likes this website for styling tips: http://www.naturallycurly.com/ My own hair is long and wavy, and I struggle not to straighten it, just for ease of management. I'm really not an expert, because until rcently, all I did was just straighten it. However, a diffuser is a godsend, for me. If I'm short on time, I've recently taken to using some mouse/wavy spray and drying it with a diffuser, and it looks relatively decent. If it's wavy/curly, it's best not to use a brush.

New MONORAIL Absolute Linear Encoder
Product Announcement from Schneeberger Inc.
Schneeberger, Inc. is pleased to announce its new absolute linear encoder AMSABS-3B and -4B, which resulted from further development of the world's first combination guideway and linear encoder, the MONORAIL Advanced Measuring System or AMS. AMSABS is an integrated, absolute distance measuring system, available as an option on all sizes of Schneeberger Ball and Roller Monorail linear guides. AMSABS uses safe magneto-resistive sensing technology. Schneeberger introduced its first integrated measuring solution over 20 years ago and now delivers to OEMs and services end-users worldwide.
The Schneeberger absolute linear encoder AMSABS has the same significant benefits as our previous generation incremental AMS systems:
- Reduced geometric, thermal and deformation errors. Higher accuracy is achieved because the integrated measuring and guide system can be located closer to the machining process.
- Reduced cost, because the integrated system eliminates the need for additional precision mounting surfaces and bracketry
- Shorter assembly time, since the encoder is already integrated and requires no additional alignment
- High reliability in unforgiving conditions, because a magnetic encoder system is much less susceptible to contaminants such as moisture, oil, grease, or dirt, than an optical encoder
- It's Green! Saves energy by eliminating the continuous flow of compressed air needed to protect most optical encoders from contaminants
- ± 5 microns per 1000 mm
- ± 2 microns over 40 mm
- < 0.5 micron hysteresis
- Max. 0.1 micron resolution
- Siemens synchronous serial interface with analog output
- Fanuc serial interface
- SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface)
In addition, the new AMSABS achieves even greater reliability, durability and signal quality by utilizing state-of-the-art semiconductor technology and advanced materials in the design of the magneto-resistive scanning head. AMSABS scan head glides on the magnetic scale embedded in the profiled linear guide. Electronics are potted in epoxy, then laser welded into metal cases which provide IP68 protection, meaning they can operate submersed in liquid.
AMSABS is available on rail lengths up to 6m. Customers may benefit from reduced inventory because a single scan head fits all rail sizes. Rails, carriages, and scan heads can be changed independently. They are not matched sets.
The AMSABS scan head can be exchanged within minutes, secured with only two screws. The scan head self-aligns as it slides into the carriage housing so neither special training nor factory assistance is required. As it slides into place, the absolute position is sensed on the scale embedded in the profiled rail. No other adjustment is needed.
AMSABS delivers the greatest value in harsh machine tool environments, but may also be an excellent choice for handling and automation applications where installation space is limited or minimizing assembly time is critical.

Ho big we're these packages that you could add a second deep of foundation in 4 weeks? Was the first deep completely drawn out?
This is going to sound grumpy, but please listen and learn. Queen should not be on the first frame you check. The reason: always lift the outer frames first, to increase space. To yank up the center brood frames risks rolling the queen. If the queen was laying well last week when you added a deep, why on earth did you disturb the hive again after a week. Patience please. I know you are excited about you new pets, but what purpose does it serve to stir up the hive every week.

I started this thread over on the mando mercs forum, but seeing that there seem to be a lot of people interested in making a Bo Katan costume here that I would cross post some of my progress. http://mercs.firespray.net/forum/ind...0508#msg880508
I am on a mission to 3D print all but the helmet, backplate and jetpack for my Bo Katan, and I will make the models free to download for anyone else who has access to a capable 3D printer (or friend with)
Im doing this primarily because I want the armor to fit my body correctly as I am a plus size girl.
All my designs will be uploaded to the thingiverse: About AprilStorm - Thingiverse you are free to download and print, derive, copy my designs licensed under the Attribution - Non-Commercial - Creative Commons license.
I started with gauntlets, because members of my clan in Melbourne Australia needed gauntlets more than anything else so Im printing a small number for them at the same time
Right Gaunt Reference:
Note there is no visible seam on the outer side:
Right Gaunt Model, I oriented the opening so that it took no more than 50 degrees so it will not be visible on the outer, and rather than rely on fiddly piano hinges or velcro, I designed the latch to be printed into the gauntlet.
First printed prototype:
The door closes flush, and because its printed in ABS, the clip actually works to lock in the side as it looks like it should.

Left Gaunt Reference:
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1...33.40%255D.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Z...04.26%255D.jpg
3D Model:
Printing the missiles proved a bit challenging but still doable:
Then it was a case of sanding off the print lines and painting, because they are printed in grey/silver abs, this made weathering much easier:
I have made it so the knife will retract, but have left this to be manual rather than spring loaded as to keep with our requirements.
Personally think the nozzles are a tad to big, but I can just scale it down the next time I print
I still have to design and print the disc things that sit on her right hand gauntlet.

the knees:
Reference Picture. note the squareness of the "ears"
This is the model I made to represent the screen used knees, I have decided to print removeable "buckles" that slide into the knees. This will eliminate the need to use velcro or other attachments. An elastic belt can be sewn in and slide through button wholes in the flight suit.
This was the first prototype I printed:
