Near the end of the winter, I had an unpleasant encounter with a snowbank that left the cover on one of my foglights broken. I was told it would be rather expensive (maybe around $180) to replace.
I don't really ever need the fog lights, (I have them on all the time at night just for the extra light output), but with living in an area with a TON of deer and lots of dark, unlit highways to travel I could really use the extra light output from something like a Hella or PIAA driving light setup. I'd previously thought about trying to mount them by the front grill, but now I'm thinking about just straight up swapping out my fog lights.
Anyone have any thoughts? Any reason that this wouldn't work? My thought was to try and disconnect the thing that prevents the fog lights and high beams from being on together and then running the driving lights into the fog light switch.

Men's Hoops Begins Practice In Style
Liberty's first practice was very structured, beginning with lane slides, working on defending down screens. Next, the Flames worked two line outlets. During this drill, there were a number of options the team utilized. First, the guard would throw ahead to another guard, who would take the ball to the hoop. The next option was the guard pulling up for a three-point attempt and the post dribbling on the trail. The final option was the guard pulling up and distributing to the other player on the screen-and-roll.
Next were a couple four-on-four drills, beginning with rebounding and then transitioning into some full-court action. During the full-court portion the team worked on weakside down screens and ball screen-and-rolls.
The Flames followed up with five-on-five sets, including a five-on-two drill. There were a number of five-on-five games to five points. Once a team got to five points, the player who made the "winning" shot then had to sink a free throw to finalize the game. If the player was unable to succeed on the free throw attempt, the game continued until a made free throw could cap the five-point game. The losing team then had to run two full-court up and backs.
Liberty continued the practice session with a five-on-five full-court, live-action game. Five minutes were put on the clock and Blue won the game, 11-10. The Blue team consisted of Carter McMasters, David Minaya, Jesse Sanders, Anthony Smith, James Spencer and Bill Weaver. The Red team was made up of Seth Curry, Brolin Floyd, Kyle Ohman, Austin Smith and Johnny Stephene.
During the five-minute game, Anthony Smith shined, scoring nine points, including a three-point bucket on a stellar assist from Sanders. The Red team had its points spread out between Curry, Floyd, Austin Smith and Stephene. With his team trailing by three points with the clock winding down, Curry was fouled on a three-point attempt, sending the Charlotte, N.C., native to the line. Curry's first attempt rattled in and out, sealing victory for the Blue team. Curry sank the last two attempts, lending the ball to McMasters who made the free throw attempt to officially claim victory for the Blue squad.
Practice concluded with the 4:15 drill, which consists of the team getting a set number of shots up in four minutes and 15 seconds.
Head Coach Ritchie McKay's Practice Quotes
Thoughts about first day of practice
"Our effort is really good. We have tremendous kids with excellent attitudes, but we have to keep in mind how youthful they are. I don't say that as an excuse, but more importantly as a reminder about how important teaching needs to be done visually and very well explained with enough repetition to become fruitful."
Who had an impressive first practice?
"We have freshmen every day who step up. Today it was Jesse Sanders who had a great practice, as did Seth Curry and Brolin Floyd. Austin Smith did well and Carter McMasters showed us flashes of brilliance. We have a good group, and there are a lot of guys who can contribute for us, which is an exciting prospect for our future."
- Tyler Baker is currently on a one day on and one day off schedule in order to rest his foot. Baker sat out today's practice, but will take full part in tomorrow's workout.
- Bill Weaver is the only player not wearing the number that will appear on his game day jersey. On game days, Weaver wears number 34, but in practice you can find him wearing number 32.
- On a similar frontier, David Minaya, a transfer from Tennessee Tech, does not have a number on his practice jersey. Minaya will wear number 14 once he hits the floor, after sitting out the 2008-09 season due to the NCAA Transfer rule.
- The Flames donned their brand new Nike practice gear. The set the Flames wore today was navy blue, with a reversible red side. The men's hoopsters also have a grey set with a red reversible side.

connecting a 14-3 to a 14-2 in a junction box.
There's a junction box in my kitchen that has a 14-3 form the source and two 14-2's spliced out from it. The red going to the first 14-2 and the black going to the other 14-2.
I want to remove one of the 14-2's because I no longer need it. Is it safe to just connect the red AND black from the 14-3 to the black of one 14-2? Or should I get rid of the 14-3 all together from the source and run 14-2 so that my junction box will connect to 14-2's together?
hopefully the question makes sense.
Why not just put a wire nut on the wire you are no longer using, then it can remain there for future use? I am not sure why you would need to connect it to another wire, maybe I am missing something?

Jamie is correct.
What you have is a split multiwire and was probably used to provide the required 2 twenty amp small appliance circuits to the kitchen. This is a code requirement. How you provide those 2 twenty amp branch circuits can vary to the discretion of the electrician.
The 12/3 in the junction box will be connected to a double pole breaker or to 2 single pole breakers on opposite legs. The red and black wires share the neutral from the jb to the breaker panel. It looks something like the image I attached depending on how the electrician wired the gfci protection for the kitchen counter top receptacles.
Exactly what did you do that would not require the one leg of the split multiwire?
I would cap the red in the junction box and remove the other end of the red from the breaker in the panel!
It's pretty much what's pictured in the attachment provided by Stubie.
The previous owner's builder *I think* intended to have a cloths washer in the kitchen..in a closet. there's evidence of where the dryer vent would go.
Instead the previous owner put in some cabinets with a small sink, like a butler pantry. I've removed the pantry and am trying to open up the kitchen a bit.
Now there's an outlet sitting all by itself about 4 ft off the ground. It's power comes from the junction box 14/3 red wire. The wire to the outlet is just dangling the outside the wall (used to be behind the pantry cabinets)
I think I'll disconnect the red from the breaker box and label appropriately.
I went out on a limb assuming this multiwire was installed by an electrician for the small appliance branch circuits and was 12 awg not 14 awg. However it sounds like you are sure it is 14 and was homeowner installed by the previous occupant.
Personally I would make use of the one (red) leg rather than cap it off. Maybe the dishwasher, garbage disposal, fridge or something like lights could be used for your remodel. If it is indeed 14 awg then you would not use it for countertop receptacles these must be 20 amp branch circuits and 12 awg.
If the OP is in Canada, then using a #14 wire is perfectly appropriate for SA use.
All the more reason to find a use for it .....:thumbsup:

OSP: AMBER Alert program not hit by shutdown
Federal info Website was down for a time - not system
SALEM, Ore. - Following mainstream and social media reports that the AMBER Alert System is affected by the shutdown of federal government services, Oregon State Police joined other AMBER Alert coordinators in reminding the public that their system is not affected and is ready to help recover an abducted child.
On Monday, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children sent a nationwide reminder that the AMBER Alert program has not been impacted by the government shutdown. NCMEC will continue to provide operational support for the network of local AMBER Alert plans that manages the distribution of alerts within their geographical area.
The Huffington Post reported earlier Monday that the U.S. Department of Justice's information Website on the AMBER Alert program was off-line due to the shutdown, but the system itself was up and running. It later reported a staff member was taken off furlough to get the site (http://www.amberalert.gov/) up and running again.
In November 2002, the State of Oregon announced implementation of a statewide AMBER Alert Plan.
The plan is a voluntary partnership between law enforcement agencies and local broadcasters to send an emergency alert to the public when a child has been abducted and it is believed the child's life is in danger.
Since implementation of Oregon's AMBER Alert Plan, there have been 20 activations helping to safely recover 22 children.
You can sign up to receive AMBER Alerts in Oregon by going to www.amberalert.com.

Chicago most stressed city in U.S.
By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Striving to attain that perfect life, work balance? You're not alone, but if you live in Chicago you're more unlikely to find it with residents of the Windy City the most stressed in the United states.
A survey by Harris Interactive found Chicago is the most stressed city in the nation, followed Houston, Boston, Los Angeles and San Diego, while Miami is the least stressed, along with Dallas/Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Cincinnati and Minneapolis.
"It is (due) to a combination of different things. There wasn't one thing that made Chicago stand out but they were the ones who had the least attainment of life balance," Harris Interactive spokeswoman Regina Corso told Reuters.
"In other cities, some by leaps and bounds, their residents have managed to attain some level (of life balance)."
Washington DC, despite its concentration of politicians and high-powered wheeler-dealers, came 12th in the poll of 25 cities, ahead of New York at No. 17 but lower than Denver, San Francisco, Tampa or Seattle on the stress scale.
"I expected to see a different order," admitted Corso. "But maybe people in Chicago are trying to do too much."
She attributed Miami's low stress levels to its proximity to the sea, warm weather and laid back attitude.
Nearly three quarters of Americans questioned in the Life Balance Barometer Survey commissioned by Princess Cruises said they have not discovered how to juggle work and personal priorities, but 53 percent believe they could achieve it in the next five years. Continued...

The year is 1902, and Jewish organizations are welcoming poor Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and teaching them a new way of life -- a new way to think about being Jewish, a new vocation, and a new relationship to the land. They are teaching these new immigrants to be farmers.
This description, however, has nothing to do with the kibbutz movement, or with the Yishuv (the pre-1948 Zionist Jewish community in the land of Israel). The land to which these Ashkenazic-refugees-turned-yeoman-farmers had immigrated was America.
This week from the J-Vault: Agriculture, A Most Effective Means to Aid Jewish Poor (1902)
"Whenever one of the Jewish poor drifts into a smaller community," writes Rabbi A.R. Levy, "and there applies for help to the Jewish residents, he is generally shipped to the nearest large city where, it is assumed, he must find work in the sweatshop or in the factory." This is undesirable, Levy explains, not only because the lifestyle is inherently unpleasant, but because the tightly packed "ghetto" life in urban centers mixes poorly with the character traits Levy perceives in Eastern European Jewish immigrants. (Levy's condescension to his immigrant kin is sadly characteristic of the attitude of many early 20th century Jews born in America.)
The better solution, according to Levy, is the one advocated by the Jewish Agriculturists' Aid Society of America.
Farm life works wonders, Levy reports:
A most marked and happy change in the character of our Jewish farmers ds the self-reliance they manifest... Our farmers go about their work with an air of self-reliance that is cheering and encouraging. It has been said that no work within the scope of human activity makes for the better in all that is good in human character as does tilling the soil. Our farmers are a telling testimony to the truth of this assertion.
Farm life also means isolation from other Jews, and from Jewish communities. Levy acknowledges this, but claims that such isolation has "proven to be of no damaging effect as far as the religious life and habit of the Jew is concerned." Indeed, being disconnected from traditional religious observance seems, to Levy, to be a positive rather than a negative factor:
No one will fail to recognize the virtue of the religious practices and habits of the Russian Jews as they are maintained by him in Russia. They are undeniably overdone and exaggerated, but they are eminently helpful to the life as it must be lived by him in Russia. For, where man's activity in the sphere of usefulness is so limited that he is forced to exist in idleness, it is the height of wisdom that he betakes himself to the field of religious enjoyment. Long and many prayers, many and extravagant ceremonies that require much time and attention are, under stated conditions, a true blessing... However, to follow up such ceremonies where divine and human agencies offer an opportunity for honest and useful toil, would lie working against the interest of religion and not for it... [T]he life of usefulness on the farm will wean him of, and bring him away from many a superfluous ceremony and obsolete observance, the practice of which is more in accord with superstition than with religion.

Time is money. Those words took on special meaning when Time magazine gave its readers "51 Things You Can Do to Make a Difference" and stop global warming.
Number 5: "Pay the carbon tax."
Liberalism at its finest ... taxes and more taxes. The magazine was neutral on which major government regulation should control our lives – caps or taxes. But when it came to taxes, Time writers were quick to point out even a "10% flat carbon tax" "may not be enough." Even worse, according to the magazine, it might not be either cap-and-trade or big taxes – the "environmental equivalent of Elvis vs. the Beatles." The publication claimed "in the end, the world may need both."
Number 40: "Get a carbon budget."
According to Time, everyone in the world would be allocated a certain carbon output to "spend" and anyone who went overbudget would have to pay taxes on the excess. One can only hope exhaling isn't part of the calculation.
Number 36: "Play the market."
The folks at Time need to go take Econ 101 because they have a serious misunderstanding of free market economics. Time said, "environmentalists are using the force of the free market" to buy and sell carbon credits. But the government creation of an artificial market is really just another tax and there certainly isn't anything "free" about it.

Siding Inside Corners
I just had new siding put on an addition and the old part of the house. I noticed 3 inside corners where the siding guy used a single J-Channel piece and then slid the other siding behind the back of the J-Channel. So, I can see building paper (Tyvek) in the inside corner when I look down one of the sides.
When I brought it to the installers attention he said that is how it is normally done but he can put some type of "Piece" in there to cover it up.
1) Is this how it is normally done for inside corners? Is there a piece that will cover the explosed inside corner?
2) Also, they used J-Channel for the bottom instead of a starter strip. I think because the siding sites on the foundation wall in some spots (old 80 year old house).
post some pics... but no the installer should have flashed the insidecorners with metal over the tyveck,regardless of whether he used j or an inside corner trim
I plane 2x4's down to 1 inch -then rip one to 2-1/2 inch- put them together to form an inside corner having the same dimension from the inside. paint both front and back to insure a good seal. Install in the corner and place the J- channel on the edge and you should be good to go.
don't do that:no:tell your installer you want the corners flashed like any vinyl install manual shows
I second everything that Tom said.

Thanks guys. I attached a picture and you can see the TYVEK in the corner.
So all of the siding has to come off and done again in the corners? I was thinking there is a piece that can snap into the corner to cover it up.
To do it right, Tom is correct. Although the Tyvek, if not ripped, will keep out water. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it too much, especially if the corner is somewhat protected. It probably has more protection now than it ever has.
Yes MJ
This is a deep corner for a Furnace Chimeny. I will post pics of the other chimney where you can see the TYVEK much easier (new side of house).
Is there a pice that can go over this? The siding guy said he had one but I haven't found anything like this.
Thanks Again. They need to have a "Send a Beer" icon here.
To install the siding properly an inside corner should be used. And yes the siding on both walls must be removed to do this properly. Make him do it correctly.
Siding was vinyl. Contractor v home owner on looks.
Not all vinyl siding has inside corners available.

Was looking at the following on glockparts.com
GlockParts.com - Product Detail - Brass Stacker Glock Small Black - $39.95
Looks like a great way to load lots of magazines. The weather here in Illinois is starting to break and that means range time. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these and could tell me if they are worth the $40.

The Zuppa Inglese is a traditional dessert recipe which originated from the Emilia Romagna region in Italy. Its name indicates a relationship with some English recipe, probably the trifle due to its similarity in ingredients and layering. Moreover, zuppa refers to the process of dipping the sponge fingers or the sponge cake into the Alchermes – an Italian pink liqueur. So the Zuppa Inglese is no savoury soup but rather a finger-licking dessert.
Following our recent visit to Bologna and thus our tasting of the Zuppa Inglese we have prepared this dessert for today's lunch. There are many variations to this recipe however we have tried the traditional Bolognese recipe found in the book: Il manuale di cucina bolognese of Barbara Bertuzzi.
Zuppa Inglese
Ingredients for 6 persons:
- 75g dark fondant chocolate
- Alchermes liqueur
- 1 packet sponge fingers (savioardi)
- pinch of salt
For the cream:
- 60g flour
- 750ml milk
- 200g sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- rind of 1 lemon
Put the milk and the lemon rind in a saucepan and heat slowly until tepid. In a mixing bowl add the egg yolks, sugar and a pinch of salt and stir well until you obtain a creamy consistency.
Add the flour and mix well then pour in the tepid milk. Filter the mixture through a sieve into a pan and put the pan on medium-heat. Keep stirring continuously until the cream gets dense and begins to boil. Leave for another minute then turn off the heat and keep stirring for another 5 minutes.
In the meantime, dip part of the sponge fingers into the Alchermes liqueur and cover the base of a dessert dish. Keep aside 3 tablespoons of the cream and add the dark chocolate pieces to it. Melt the chocolate with the cream using the bain-marie method until the chocolate melts and blends with the cream.
Pour a layer of the warm yellow cream on the sponge fingers, top with another layer of sponge fingers, previously dipped in Alchermes. Now layer with chocolate cream and another stratus of Alchermes dipped sponge fingers and finish off with the remaining yellow cream. Sprinkle some cocoa powder on top and refrigerate before serving.

The recent campaigns have brought a Constitutional Amendment to our attention that most of us probably haven't given much thought to since our high school government classes. That amendment is the 17th Amendment.
Prior to the amendment's ratification in 1913, Senators were chosen by state legislators. The amendment changed this, and now the Senators are elected directly by the people.
On the surface, it may seem that the 17th Amendment benefits us, the people, as we get to have more say in who governs us. However, this helped undermine one of the important checks and balances in our government. That is the balance of power between the states and the national government.
Prior to the 17th Amendment, a Senator would know that his position would depend on how well he would protect the rights of the states guaranteed by the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. Unfortunately, under the current system, the Senators do not have to be concerned about how their actions infringe upon the rights of the states.
What this means for the people is that more and more aspects of our lives are directly affected by the Federal government. This results in much less freedom, and in the almost 100 years since the amendment's ratification, has helped lead to our ever-expanding government.
Repealing the 17th Amendment would help restore one of the critical checks in our government that were created by the Constitution, and would actually result in the people's ability to have greater say in the decisions that affect our lives directly. We would be wise to support those who are willing to help us repeal the 17th Amendment and restore our Constitution.

stay away from the late models with the internal aneroid, they are the worst, and the electronic models just won't work, smog crap.
I firmly believe that the best improvement you can do to an old car/truck is buying a brand new carburator, I like holley's 1850 for SBC 350's
The idle tubes need to be removed. There are spaces below each one that can easily become plugged and cleaning w/o removing them is next to impossible. Because these orifices also contribute to the overall air/fuel ratio/fuel delivery, if they're not right drivability will suffer.
Once the idle tubes are removed, the passages for the idle restrictions and the idle tubes (they're next to each other in the main body casting) can be properly cleaned out.
If the idle tubes were removed carefully, they'll go back in using the original collars just fine. Otherwise, Ruggles sells replacements, both pressed (like stock) or threaded.
The aneroid type APT was a '75-only deal for the most part. There may be carbs on either side of '75 that have it, but they'll be rare.
The feedback Q-jet as used w/the CCC emissions system can be used for drag racing by removing the metering rods, then rejetting it using smaller jets w/o the metering rods. An electronic Q-jet carb set up like this will not be a good candidate for street use- just for drag racing/WOT use mainly, although it'll work well enough to get back to the pits after a run.

Woody Allen may not be your first pick to win a boxing match, but in this clip of the director, Allen totally outclasses a kangaroo in the ring.
"I'm a guy who can handle his fists pretty good," Allen says, as the 1966 segment, from cancelled British television series "Hippodrome" begins.
The kangaroo sways back and forth looking scared, as Allen lands a few soft blows. The animal seems unwilling to fight, but prodded into the ring, manages to get the skinny director into a headlock before bopping up and down a little, a motion Allen mirrors. Finally, as the wrangler continues to push the harrassed marsupial towards the neurotic director, it manages to kick the wrangler in the chest. Allen jumps out of the ring.
The clip will show as a part of PBS's documentary, "Woody Allen: A Documentary," a four-hour entry in the American Masters series. The first part of the documentary premiered Sunday night, and the second will air Monday at 9 EST. The documentary includes both new interviews with Allen, as well as archival clips from his extensive film history.

PARIS/BUENOS, AIRES – Diehard doomsayers will be scurrying to the nearest shelter in fear of a Mayan prophecy of the world's end Friday, but many more from Delhi to Sydney plan to ring in the date by partying like there's no tomorrow.
One thing is certain: from off-the-shelf bunkers to "World's End" menus or trips to esoteric hot spots, Dec. 21, singled out by the Mayan Long Count calendar as the end of a 5,000-year era, has spelled big business worldwide.
Across the Mayans' ancestral homeland, a vast swath of Central America that includes parts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, "The End of the World As We Know It," or TEOTWAWKI, has been a shot in the arm for tourism.
Ancient Mayan sites will be buzzing with activity Friday, hosting ritual re-enactments, conferences and sound-and-light shows — often against the backdrop of protests by indigenous groups who complain their culture is being hijacked.
But elsewhere around the globe there will be no shortage of shelters or shrines to host the fearful — or simply curious — crowds through the night.
Apocalyptic-minded folk in Brazil can head to the village of Alto Paraiso, a place pulsating with "mystical energy" that, as local lore would have it, has been readying for the end for years; an anti-Armageddon ceremony will take place on the Island of the Sun in the middle of Bolivia's Lake Titicaca, the highest in the world, where legend has it the founders of the Inca empire were born; and Illuminati in Serbia are predicting that the pyramid-shaped mountain of Rtanj will glow Friday night, which is also the winter solstice.
Argentina, however, is taking the event seriously. Authorities will shut down access to a mountain called Uritorco in central Cordova Province from Dec. 20 to 22 because an appeal has gone out on Facebook for people to climb the hill Dec. 21 and commit "massive spiritual suicide," said Gustavo Sez, mayor of the nearby town of Capilla del Monte. That name means chapel on a hill.
The village of Sirince in western Turkey has also become an apocalyptic magnet, with all 400 hotels in the vicinity fully booked. It is reputed to be doomsday-proof because the Virgin Mary is said to have risen to heaven from there. Likewise the picturesque south Italian village of Cisternino, singled out by an Indian guru as a safe bet come the end of the world. Or there is France's apocalyptic spot of choice, the Pic de Bugarach in the foothills of the Pyrenees, though the site is cordoned off to keep out the hordes, and a local hotel will set you back €1,500 ($2,000) — payable in advance.
Short of a sacred site to weather the doomsday storm, there is always the man-made option of a good old bunker.
For 30,000 rubles ($970) per head, the wealthiest Muscovites can check into a Stalin-era communications bunker 65 meters underground, which is offering 300 people a 24-hour experience called "A chance to survive." Local television is raffling off tickets for a night in the bunker and will be broadcasting live from inside — in a kind of world's end take on "Big Brother."
In eastern France, the underground galleries of the Schoenenbourg fort — part of the World War II Maginot Line of defense — will exceptionally be thrown open to the public.
No-nonsense authorities in China have adopted a dim view of the Mayan prophecy, rounding up more than 400 members of the Christian group "Almighty God" who have been publicizing the world's end.
But elsewhere in Asia, the end of times will be the best of times, featuring a techno soundtrack and fine dining.
"This is potentially the very last dance so you know you've got to be there!" reads one flyer for the Ssky Bar in New Delhi. For its "end-of-the-world party," Sydney's Shelbourne Hotel suggests that "if it's curtains for us all, we might as well get loose and party this world away to the beat of a bass drum." In Hong Kong, the Aqua restaurant is promising to pick up the tab for its 2,112.12 Hong Kong dollar ($273) six-course meal if the apocalypse does appear at hand — though patrons will have to stump up if still alive at midnight.
The mystical minded in Australia — where Prime Minister Julia Gillard has made a spoof video to announce the end of days — are laying on a Mayan solstice festival near Canberra featuring music and yoga.
Raj Kumar Sharma, a Mumbai-based astrologer, dismissed the Mayan predictions, saying he detected "a lot of positivity around in the near future," but predicted World War III would break out by 2052.
But if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse do descend on Earth, it seems one might be riding in on an invisible steed, miming a rodeo dance. South Korean social networks have been buzzing with a spoof "prophecy," attributed to the 16th-century French seer Nostradamus, that ties "Gangnam Style" superstar Psy to the Mayan apocalypse.
Ominously, believers note, the ever-climbing number of YouTube views for Psy's "Gangnam Style" video, currently at nearly 972 million, stands to hit the 1 billion mark around Dec. 21.

Owners Manual DVD
So, for whatever reason, my Jeep didn't come with the Owner's Manual DVD - just the User Guide. The dealer pointed me to one of the Chrysler assistance #'s, which resulted in an endless circle of being transferred to different publication departments, none of which seem to know who is responsible for the DVD. I finally found the DVD on the TechAuthority website for $29.95, but they want $20.71 for ground shipping:confused:
I've already downloaded the Owner's Manual, and uConnect manual, plus the User Guide - is the anything unique on the DVD to pay $50 for? Still ticked that it wasn't provided to me in the first place, but I've given up trying to get a free copy.
Re: Owners Manual DVD
Short answer: no, not really. I don't know if I can send or receive PMs yet, but if you are really itching for the DVD, try PM-ing me, or try my user name @gmail.com and I'll try to get you a copy of mine.
Btw, my copy was in with the green Jeep case in the glovebox. Seems obvious, but you never know.....
Re: Owners Manual DVD
Or ebay has new sealed packages for a reasonable price...
FWIW, I found the DVD worthless. You are welcome to mine free (if I can find them).
Re: Owners Manual DVD
Thanks all - kind of what I expected. I have no doubt that the good folks on this forum can probably answer any questions I have faster than the DVD could anyhow.
Re: Owners Manual DVD
Best is to obtain the free full-bore printed owner's manual (not the same as comes with the vehicle), along with the dedicated media manual and warranty publication, from the Chrysler Publications Department head, "Al," at his direct number: 1-877-847-7166
As to the DVD, contact the sales rep at the dealer you bought your WK2 from. He'll get it for you, free.

Playing video games can be a very fun activity and it is an activity that people from all around the world enjoy. The information in this article will help you navigate the world of video games without buying a poor game, or one that isn't age-appropriate.
You should play with the specific equipment needed for the game of your choosing. You may need more than just one controller. Search online or look at the game box to find out what equipment you require. This gives you a heads up so that you can get what is needed beforehand.
Think about what age your kids have to be before they can play games rated M, or mature. Generally, you can set up your ps3 so that kids can't play games that are too mature, although computers are a little harder to work with. It is important to understand how to protect your children.
Make video games part of your exercise routine. Physical motion sensing technology is spreading through the industry. That lets you engage in gaming while using your own muscles, playing sports and practicing yoga. You can now get into great shape using your video game in your living room.
If you have children, be sure to limit the time that your child spends on computer games. More than two hours a day can strain their eyes and interfere with other activities.
Keep the computer you're on clear and make sure everything is up-to-date. If you game often on a particular system, avoid installing too many applications. Defragging the hard drive and using ScanDisk are very helpful. This allows you to keep everything on your computer running smoothly so you don't experience any slow down.
Never clean your system, no matter the age, with strong cleaners. Lightly blowing can help to remove dust, and this is often all it takes to get things up and running. You can destroy your system if you use harsh chemicals on it.
Think about going to a gaming arcade in another town. Some people just like to game at home using personal consoles. But it can be fun to get out of the house and join in the communal activities that an arcade offers. You can socialize and take friends with you. You can meet new people with similar interests.
When someone wants to purchase a online game wii, there are plenty of choices. Be sure to research and read reviews before deciding which system you prefer. It is important to know if the company carries a majority of titles that your family will enjoy. When you have chosen a system, look at how much memory this system has. There are many download options for most games and this content can fill a hard drive quickly. To make sure, buy a system that has enough memory.
Reserve games that are high in demand to ensure that you will get a copy. You may get special bonuses when ordering early. The bonuses could be some special features, outfits, or anything that could help you when it comes to playing. The only way you can get them is by ordering early.
Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.
You can get many hours of enjoyment from many different kinds of computer games. Use this advice to make the best from your gaming purchases. The world of video gaming has evolved into a highly competitive market with games for everyone.

Someone (re) twotted this interesting article by a security dude, regarding HTML5 security versus What Came Before.http://www.thesecuritypractice.com/the_security_practice/2012/11/in-defense-of-html5-1.html
A bit of nostalgia for the days of heavy Flash, Java and ActiveX use, and what browsers have changed in the meantime. I think he's more pointing out that maybe we've forgotten how bad browsers used to be rather than they were just ok and now are getting much better or so.
Frankly, when I first heard of stuff like localstorage, geo-loc, indexDB/websql, and the new second level of XHR (allowing cross-domain), as well as some of the hacks sec guys have been able to do themselves with WebGL's ability to dig deeply into your system, I thought "Why didn't these HTML5 guys consider this stuff a bit more seriously before committing patches and adding stuff to the spec?"
But so anyway I found this interesting and fun to read. Enjoy.

Hello friends!
I'm sure you've heard of the Money Saving Mom. She does it all and I have no idea how!? She just wrote this 14 day self study online course about how she "does it all", my words, not hers.
Have any of you done this yet? I could use some extra hours in my day and help with time management. I'm going to start reading it on Monday. I'll write a review when I'm finished and tell you what I think. Click the banner below for more info and/or to join me by taking the course.
I can't believe it is finally starting to feel like summer around here. Kids are out of school and the weather is warming up. A great reason to party!

Thursday Throwdown: YSL Lippies
It's Thursday, and you know what that means:
1. The weekend is nigh (woot!)
2. It's time for another Thursday Throwdown!
Today, we have the battle of the luxurious lippies, featuring 2 of YSL's most beloved lip products: YVES SAINT LAURENT Rouge Volupté Shine vs YVES SAINT LAURENT ROUGE PUR COUTURE Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Stain. Now I know that these aren't *technically* the same product, but they are close enough that people often debate between the two when in the market for a glam gloss.
So what say ye, BeautyTalk. Which lippy do you prefer?
Shop the brand> http://seph.me/1eMELWT
(Thursday Throwdown Disclaimer: There are no "winners" or "losers" here, only respectful opinions, based on your preference. So be nice.)
I can't choose. That's like choosing your favorite child! They are both my favorite lip products for two different reasons. I like the Rouge Shine for the perfect amount of shine without over bearing glossiness for a more natural look. Although, I like the Glossy Stains for intense gloss AND a long lasting under coat stain for more ritzy occasions. You really can't go wrong here
I've never tried the Rouge Volupte Shine, mainly because since I discovered the glossy stain I have become obsessed with it and other YSL products seem unnecessary. The glossy stain is 100% my favorite lip product. It lasts forever, it doesn't get on my teeth, I can eat, drink, or smoke and it stays on, it feels great on. Basically it's my favorite beauty product that exists and I can't imagine anything replacing it in my heart.
I agree I can't choose one or the other either YSL Lippies are the best ever. Once you start wearing them there's no way you'll just have one!
Hahahahaha I love these answers! (I feel like an evil genius right now. ) I figured it would be hard to choose, that's why I did this one. I own both and they really are amazing products. And they make me feel like a diva every time I pull one out of my purse!
I'm team glossy stain for sure. There are countless brands that carry various high quality lipsticks, but I've never owned anything quite like the glossy stains.
Shine - but that is just because I prefer my lippie stuff to be in a stick form rather than something I have to apply w/ an applicator. Of course, I haven't tried the stain and now maybe I need to....
Please! Glossy Stains. No contest. Saturated, buildable color and I don't have to reapply more than twice a day? Glossy Stains FTW.
I went to the store to try out the Glossy Stains for the first time today. I needed help and we found 3 great colors. I didn't want to fall in love with 3 great colors. So now I need to decide which one to get first. I'm amazed at how much shine I actually still have 3 1/2 hours later!
The glossy stains for sure! They are amazing!
I have both & while I love the Rouge Volupte, the Glossy Stains are my new true love <3 I apply them once & the color lasts all day! I dont need to touch up throughout the day... maybe just a little something to moisturize mid-day
That is tough. I think overall the glossy stains are the more unique product and have a wide colour range. And last forever. That being said the volupte shine is more hydrating and still has great staying power. I own 6 of the first and 2 of the second so I guess that answers it too!
Shine!! i saved up and treated myself to one for the Summer. Incredible!
Ahh such a hard decision. I think I like the Glossy Stains better. It has more of a lacquer feel and I prefer a thicker formula!
Shine! It smells better and I can honestly say that I haven't tried a more luxurious lipstick yet! Quite honestly the L'Oreal glossy stain type things are just as good, hopefully they make their color range larger!

Now the game begins. I have to pick 7 pups to tag, and write 7 facts about myself. If I tag you, you have to do the same. Lets play!
Here are the rules:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged need to write in their own diary about the seven random facts and the rules. You need to choose seven dogs to tag and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and tell them to read your diary.
1. I was rescued from a trash area in Chino, CA Oct. 2006
2. Both of my ears were kind of chewed at.
3. The "special people" that rescued me were named Jamie and Sherrie
4. They took me to the vet to have me taken care of
5. I found a "forever home" with Sherrie's sister Kathy and her family

What's the difference between German K14 CRS and PRLs like Benibachi?
Hi everyone! I'm just wondering what the difference is between K14s and PRL shrimps like Benibachi. I searched the web and found only one website that said K14s have Snow white genes in them. If they do have snow whites, how do they breed true?
PRL's are beautifully selected and intensively breed shrimp for the highest red and white colors, and the solidness. K14's are bred for a headgear patterns by using snow whites to get them. They may throw out a snow white now and again.

Lifelong ARVs for pregnant women, says Health Minister
HIV/AIDS pills at early stage 'unwise'
There's a hole in the middle of our AIDS programme
There is a big hole in the middle of South Africa's HIV treatment programme that is undermining government's remarkable achievements since 2009, when AIDS denialist President Thabo Mbeki was kicked out.
This hole is called medicine stock-outs. It is caused mainly by poor management, and no matter how good our national programme and health minister are, unless the implementers – the provinces – can improve health service delivery, we will not only fail to overcome HIV but we stand to develop a monster called drug-resistant HIV.
Staying alive: Is South Africa's Aids plan working?
South Africa has one of the world's highest HIV rates but for many years was accused of ignoring the problem. Two years ago, President Jacob Zuma introduced some radical changes to the country's Aids policy. To marks World Aids Day, the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg asks what has changed.
Moses Sechedi lives in Soweto, one of South Africa's biggest townships.
Outside the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital - the largest hospital in Africa - Mr Sechedi, 62, tells me that he has seen the benefits of the new policy.
"A few months ago, my younger sister became gravely ill and we rushed her to hospital. After a number of tests the doctor told us she had Aids," he says.

Native American Flute Tab
I am in the process of arranging some church music for the Native American Flute. I do not know how to disabled the instrument label on Musescore so as to be able to use the NAFT system created by R. Carlos Nakai. Any info would help.
Right click on the staff -> Staff properties and you can edit the instrument long and short names.
You should be able to use this fonts for the fingering.
You could even make a plugin to automatically put the fingerings like this one for recorder
Edit :
Two more resources for American native flute tab fonts
- Log in to post comments
Let me know if you need a plugin.
- Log in to post comments
Did you follow the installation instruction of the recorder fingering plugin?
You need to install the font on your system. See the instructions for windows or for MacOSX
- Log in to post comments
The plugin was only compatible with a soprano tenor flute (All holes obtructed = C).
I've just updated it and it provides two menu items one for soprano tenor and another one for sopranino alto.
Check http://musescore.org/en/project/recorderfingering

If you have a score open you can also double-click on the instrument name to change the text.

I made a NAF fingering plugin for MuseScore 1.2. See http://musescore.org/en/project/naffingering

May 5, 2005 By Blake Harris
Gino Menchini
While Menchini is modest about the city's overall IT accomplishments and argues that many other large cities have also made significant progress lately, the reality is that New York City presents challenges unlike those facing any other city CIO.
For one thing, there is the city's sheer magnitude. New York City's annual budget of $48 billion exceeds the size of all but five states. Menchini's own department has a budget of $180 million and now includes approximately 1,200 employees. Yet that is not nearly enough to do everything asked of him, and IT budget issues are a constant concern.
"What we do is just so different from what most other municipalities do, or for that matter, what most other governments do in terms of the scope of our services," Menchini said, adding that the municipality encompasses five boroughs, the equivalent of individual counties. So New York City itself provides a wide range of services -- such as human services -- typically provided by counties. "On top of that, you have the size and magnitude of what we are. Even just the intensity of New York City and the depth of needs in certain areas make for a very challenging government environment. And then added to all this was Sept. 11th. Our jobs, I think, increased exponentially in terms of what we were faced with after that."
Bloomberg and his administration came to power only a few months after 9/11, and response to that and other possible terrorist threats has been the crucible in which the new administration was forged. Without doubt for Menchini, who was directly involved in the response from day one, that personal experience continues to shape many of the dimensions of his job at the helm of DoITT.
Menchini, who grew up in Brooklyn, actually left public service after a 14-year stint as head of MIS at the city's Board of Education, followed by three years as head of IT for the Office of Operations where he led city Y2K preparations. He was working as a major-account manager for Cisco Systems when the World Trade Center collapsed. He immediately jumped in to help.
Just hours after the attack, after clearing it with Cisco CEO John Chambers, Menchini was ripping equipment and supplies out of Cisco's New York offices and loading it into police cars and taxicabs. And with Larry Knafo, now one of his deputy commissioners, he built the telecommunication and IT components for the initial command and family assistance centers, and then larger facilities when these proved insufficient after the first 24 hours.
As we drove through Manhattan years later, Menchini described what it was really like there -- the streets filled with a foot of dust, where Knafo's parked car was crushed by falling debris, where he was pulling people out of taxicabs to load in equipment.
"It's really hard to reconstruct the events of that day and the aftermath in our minds," Menchini said. "A huge area in Manhattan was uninhabitable because of all the dust. The

Related Poem Content Details
Largely associated with the Celtic revival that swept over her homeland at the turn of the twentieth century, Irish author Eva Gore-Booth was the author of nine books of poetry, seven plays, and several collections of spiritual essays and studies of the Gospels. Just as important to her legacy, however, are the many pamphlets and essays she published while living in England that deal with the political issues of her day, including the fight for equal rights for women. In addition to being a writer, Gore-Booth was also a political activist, and one of the first female suffragists to advocate extending the vote to both female property owners and women in the working class. "Sex is an accident," Gore-Booth once wrote, summing up her motivation to fight for equal rights. Gore-Booth's equally strong belief in pacifism was evident in many of her works, including the protest play The Buried Life...

A Message from the Owner
As always I take great pride in seeing a happy client at the end of every project. Every project is a blank canvas to me and excites me greatly to have to the opportunity to work one on one with each client to create their own very unique work of art. I am frequently asked, why do you not expand in order to take on more projects? My answer is simple, Quality over Quantity.
Each project is customized to meet each clients needs and takes time, hard work, organized planing and executing. At the end of the day a smile, a new relationship and a good referral are all I could ever ask for.
Brandon Stewart, Owner Southwest Landscape Design
