"The Dick Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws. It also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities. The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia , the unorganized militia and the regular army. The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy."
So no woman, no male over 45 and no disabled men has the right to own a gun. That would be a start.
1994 assault weaons ban
"any semiautomatic rifle with a detachable magazine and at least two of the following five items: a folding or telescopic stock; a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; a bayonet mount; a flash suppressor or threaded barrel (a barrel that can accommodate a flash suppressor); or a grenade launcher."
All cosmetic, nothing to do with function
Rusty--you wouldn't want a crippled ,over 45 year old woman armed with something cosmetic would you?
My sister is 70 and has a concealed carry permit. I don't own a gun but would fight for the right of others to own one.
I don't dispute anyone's right to own a gun. I just don't see the need for assault rifles and high capacity magazines. If you can't hit you game with one or two shots then go back to the range do some more target shooting to get better.
The rifles in the 1994 ban were all semi-automatic and except for appearance, are identical to the old wooden stock semi-auto 22 cal rabbit rifle used for many years.
The main problem that I have with a ban is that the people writing the laws, have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.
Making guns illegal would be about as effective as the laws making meth and cocaine illegal. How is that working out?

I stole this from a gun site, but it shows how stupidly the ban was written. The upper one would be legal, the lower one illegal according to the 1994 ban. And the new proposed ban.
If you are limited to the amount of ammunition you can have or how many shots you can fire off repeatedly, you can't defend yourself against someone who doesn't obey the law and has an advantage over you, the law abiding citizen.
I agree with you rusty, I don't own a gun, but would fight for the right of others to own one.
I respect everyone's opinion. I think both sides should be informed that the original 1994 law was poorly written and so is the new version. No matter which side you are on, I would think that is something you would want to know. If you believe in gun control, get the law improved. If you don't, work to defeat it.
Let's keep this respectful of others------please-----
I live in a rough area of Cleveland, Ohio. This is an extremely violent place. It only appears to be getting worst. Much worse. I am known in the neighborhood as a guy with a lot of tools, and is always willing to make some work for someone, i also pay cash, even before the work is started. From a tactical point of view please explain to me how I can protect my family from three armed people that wish to rob me. To start the police do not even answer 911 calls. I am not kidding, not even someone there to answer the phone. So the police no, run and hide, no, too exposed to injury and harm to family. Well let me tell you, you would need an assault rifle to protect your home. Law enforcement agrees with me on this issue. My second point is that the US government is fallen to tyranny, our assault weapons keep us a free nation.
The US government has fallen to tyranny?!?
What tyranny is that?!?

Monday Musings: Is Tom Brady now a big-game loser?
Tom Brady is 4-6 in his last 10 playoff games. It's been almost a decade since he won his last Super Bowl. Does he get a pass because he has three rings?
More Super Bowl coverage: XLVIII odds and lines | Expert picks| Latest news
DENVER -- Is it time to say that Tom Brady has become a big-game loser? Or is that too harsh?
Yes, he has three Super Bowl rings, which is cache for sure, but since winning his last Super Bowl after the 2004 season, Brady has lost two Super Bowls and three AFC Championship Games, including two in a row after losing 26-16 to the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Denver.
Brady is 4-6 in his past 10 playoff games and has 10 interceptions in those 10 games to go with 19 touchdown passes. He threw three picks in his first 10 playoff games. The New England Patriots are much more reliant on his right arm now, but that doesn't mean he gets a free pass.
Brady has the skins on the wall, easing his postseason failures of the past nine seasons, but it doesn't mean he gets a pass. He's still one of the all-time greats, but if Peyton Manning were doing the same thing Manning would be taking a beating.
When Brady loses, it's on the team. When Manning loses, it's on him. Big difference.
The Patriots had little in terms of speed outside to help Brady in the passing game against Denver, but he had fought through that all season long.
Brady struggled early in the loss to the Broncos, missing several open receivers, which had nothing to do with them.
"I just overthrew them," Brady said.
It has been a long time since Tom Brady won a ring. Just saying.
• Speaking of big-game losing: San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh has now lost two championship games and a Super Bowl. Just saying.
• I truly enjoy a cocky player who isn't afraid to say things. So I respect Richard Sherman and have no problem with his postgame tirade. What I didn't like was his little taunt of Michael Crabtree after the Seattle Seahawks picked off Colin Kaepernick to ice the game. There's a time for everything. That wasn't it. Sherman, by the way, is one heck of a corner. But if they man him up with Demaryius Thomas , the Broncos will attack him in the Super Bowl.
• I hated seeing NaVorro Bowman suffer that knee injury. He is a special player. He has taken over as the 49ers' best linebacker, ahead of Patrick Willis .
• Broncos players were raving about the speech Wes Welker gave to them Saturday night about the importance of seizing the moment. Welker has been close a bunch for the Patriots, but has never won a ring. Is this the year?
• I won't know until I see the tape, but it sure looked like Champ Bailey had a heck of a day in coverage for the Broncos. The 15-year veteran has battled through injuries this season and missed a lot of time. But he's going to his first Super Bowl now and was a big part of why the defense played so well against Brady. "You might not have known, but I knew I'd be back at some point," Bailey said. "My coaches, teammates, they never gave up on me." With Chris Harris out with a knee injury, Bailey moved into the starting lineup after playing nickel last week against the Chargers.
• I've been touting Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton for a while, and now you know why. He was a force again against the Patriots, getting two stops behind the line and a sack. He abused Logan Mankins on his sack. After the game, Knighton couldn't believe the Patriots chose to single-block him. "Can you believe that?" he said. "They tried to single-block me." With Seattle coming up in the Super Bowl, you can bet they will double him to try and get their running game going. Seattle center Max Unger is a good player inside and does a nice job in the run game. Get ready for Pot Roast Mania. He is already a media darling and he's about to explode in New York. Watch. To think Denver signed him for two years and $4 million. Wow.
• The Broncos have punted once in two playoff games, and that came after they crossed midfield against New England. This is an offense that is tough to stop and Seattle better be ready.
• What the heck was Bill Belichick thinking when he went for it on fourth-and-3 at the Denver 29 with his team trailing 20-3 with 2:30 left in the third quarter? Kick the field goal, cut it to 14, and give yourself a chance. As it turned out, when his team scored late to make it 26-16, he was forced to go for two to make it an 8-point game. But if he had kicked the field goal, the Patriots would have been down six and the pressure would have been on the Broncos. That was a bad decision.
• Speaking of bad decisions, why didn't Pete Carroll kick a field goal to go up six instead of going for it on fourth down late against the 49ers? That was a tight game. He was trying to put it away, but kicking was the right decision. San Francisco stopped Seattle.
• It looks like Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase will be coming back to Denver next season. But he won't be a coordinator for long. He is a hell of a coach. Everybody you talk to about him inside the organization raves about him. They say he's an offensive wizard. I tend to agree.
• Kaepernick has to learn to be better in the pocket. Running for over 100 yards is fun to watch, but it won't win titles. Turning it over three times in the fourth quarter won't, either.
• Davone Bess, go get help. You have issues. It's not funny either, to those laughing. He has some demons.

Reductive explanation and the 'explanatory gap'
Document Type:Article
Article Type:Theoretical
Topics:Theory of Consciousness
Keywords:explanatory gap, reductive explanation, phenomenal consciousness
Deposited by:Dr Peter Carruthers
Date of Issue:2004
Journal/Publication Title:Canadian Journal of Philosophy
Page Range:153-173
Abstract:Can phenomenal consciousness be given a reductive natural explanation? Exponents of an 'explanatory gap' between physical, functional and intentional facts, on the one hand, and the facts of phenomenal consciousness, on the other, argue that there are reasons of principle why phenomenal consciousness cannot be reductively explained (Jackson, 1982, 1986; Levine, 1983, 1993, 2001; McGinn, 1991; Sturgeon, 1994, 2000; Chalmers, 1996, 1999). Some of these writers claim that the existence of such a gap would warrant a belief in some form of ontological dualism (Jackson, 1982; Chalmers, 1996), whereas others argue that no such entailment holds (Levine, 1983; McGinn, 1991; Sturgeon, 1994). In the other main camp, there are people who argue that a reductive explanation of phenomenal consciousness is possible in principle (Block and Stalnaker, 1999), and yet others who claim, moreover, to have provided such an explanation in practice (Dennett, 1991; Dretske, 1995; Tye, 1995, 2000; Lycan, 1996; Carruthers, 2000.) I shall have nothing to say about the ontological issue here (see Balog, 1999, for a recent critique of dualist arguments); nor shall I have a great deal to say about the success or otherwise of the various proposed reductive explanations. My focus will be on the explanatory gap itself – more specifically, on the question whether any such principled gap exists. I shall argue that it does not. The debate will revolve around the nature and demands of reductive explanation in general. And our focus will be on Chalmers and Jackson (2001) ï€ hereafter 'C&J' ï€ in particular, as the clearest, best articulated, case for an explanatory gap. While I shall not attempt to demonstrate this here, my view is that if the C&J argument can be undermined, then it will be a relatively straightforward matter to show that the other versions of the argument must fall similarly.

Executive In Residence
Wittenberg's Business Department Welcomed Financial Entrepreneur Marty Uhle,'85
November 10, 2010
Springfield, OH – Wittenberg students and faculty gathered in Kissell Auditorium on Tuesday, November 9th to hear Marty Uhle, President and CEO of Vantage Financial Group Inc., this fall's Business 2010 Executive-in-Residence. Uhle's keynote lecture was a humorous look at his wild ride from banker to entrepreneur and all the legal and political potholes along the way.
Mr. Uhle's industry experiences included a position as Senior Vice President of the KeyBank Payment Services Division in Cleveland, and also as Chief Operating Officer of Unified Merchant Services, a NationsBank/First Data joint venture based in Charlotte, NC. Uhle then served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Heartland Payment Systems, Inc. (NYSE symbol HPY), and its predecessor, HPS, LLC, from November 1998 to October 2004. During this time, he also was instrumental in establishing the North Olmsted, Ohio-based Heartland Payroll Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Heartland Payment Systems.
Along with hearing about Uhle's career path and accomplishments, he also shared advice for students who will be entering the work force. He encouraged students to consider themselves as a start-up enterprise and to keep their overhead low—no fancy cars, expansive wardrobes, or high-value mortgages. Uhle stated it was important to remember the EX-factor: gain EXposure, relevant EXperience, and compile EXamples of your skills. These factors will help students stand out among their peers and will help them to get a job. He also encouraged students to pay attention to politics and legislative activities, for these will have an impact on the job hunt. Uhle's final advice was to avoid falling victim to negative on-line exposure through social networking. Employers are watching.
Uhle's presentation was followed by a dinner with a small group of students and faculty. The next day he made presentations in the financial management classes at Wittenberg discussing various financial topics and job market issues.
Uhle is no stranger to Wittenberg University being an active member of the Wittenberg Board of Directors. He also has two sons, Steven '13 (major: business) and Ryan '11 (major: financial economics), attending Wittenberg. Uhle's father and brother Chris also attended Wittenberg.

starting a rebuilt motor
I attempted to start my rebuilt 350 this morning. All I got was a half hearted backfire. Suggestions Please!!! I verified power to HEI distributor, checked to make sure I wasn't 180 degrees out (I pulled the driver side valve cover and confirmed TDC, #1 piston is at TDC on compression, timing mark on balancer is at 0). I turned the distributor approx. 5/16" counter-clockwise to give a little advance (6-8 degrees is what I figured), am I wrong on this? I hooked the distributer to the full vac. port on the new edelbrock carb. Let me know if you need more info.
Are you sure its getting gas?? Is there fuel in the fuel bowl on the carb. Can you pour a little fuel down the carb?
[ November 18, 2002: Message edited by: Maverick ]

I filled the float chambers with gas prior to first attempt to start. I also gave the motor about a 1-2 second shot of starting fluid.
Do not use starting fluid! Recheck cam position,make sure the lifters are set correctly, recheck timing, check fuel supply and hit the key. Sounds like you might have the lifters set too tight, but just a guess.
When I set my lifters, I would tighten down just to the point that I could not rotate them anymore then went another 1/2 turn. I read thru some books today and one said when you can't move the pushrod up or down anymore then go another 1/2 turn. I did the method in which you set half the valves then rotate the crank one turn and get the rest of the valves. From what is above, would you all think my lifters are set to tight?
I only shot starting fluid in the one time, will this hurt anything. I checked the fuel line coming into the carb, but I don't think I've cranked the motor over enough to get the gas from the tank to the motor. It is in a Suburban, so there is a lot of fuel line to run thru.
Turn the distributor 180 degrees and see what happens.
Do a compression check to see if any of the valves are tight enough to be staying open. I set them by using my left hand thumb and index finger. I lightly turn the pushrod back and forth until I feel I have all the lack out and then turn 1/4 turn tighter and leave it. If the fuel bowl in the carb is full you don't need to worry about the pump bringing fuel up already. I doubt the starting fluid did much but if you feel you need it something is wrong. Take your time and go slow. Let us know if you have any more trouble. Ryan
In regard to the lifters, the procedure sounds right. However, if you have hydraulic lifters and they are dry (not pre-soaked in oil), the stopping point on finger tightening the adjusters is very subtle. If you miss it and compress the lifters down too far, you will lose compression.
a. If the motor cranks way too freely, you have tightened the lifters too far, and are releasing your compression because the valves don't fully seat.
b. If you are getting a normal cranking sound, you are probably ok. If one lifter is over-tightened you should hear hissing when the engine runs. Removing one spark plug wire at a time will isolate the problem.
In regard to the distributor, sugggest this process to static set the timing:
1. Move the engine to TDC.
2. Remove #1 spark plug wire. Get another plug (or use #1 if you don't have a spare plug.) Clamp this plug to a convenient metal part of the motor (alternator bracket) and then attach the #1 spark plug wire to the clamped plug.
3. Turn the igniition key to the normal run position, but do not start the motor.
4. Release and rotate the distributor slowly until you see a spark. This is the static set position for the distribtor at TDC. Repeat the process a few times until you get the position right, then clamp the distributor right at the sparking position.
You will have to use a timing light later to get the distributor exactly set, but this has been successful for me in starting a new engine.
I went out today and reset the valves/lifters and guess what, the motor fired up on the first shot!!! What a relief. I let it run for about 20 minutes at between 2000 and 2500 rpm. I want to thank all of you, this is my first sbc and has been a learning experience. Heck, I doubt I would have ever got this done if it wasn't for this forum, such a wealth of information.
Now lets see if the motor will stay together!!!

Personal bankruptcy is not much different from the corporate one. Actually in United States Bankrupcy Code same chapters are applied for both cases. 2008 and the following years were very hard when it comes to both personal and corporate finances. Economic crises the shook the world, left many Americans without their jobs, homes or savings. Now things are not that dramatic, but the post-recession years also lead some people to ask for the bankruptcy discharge. Most of them don't know that they're able to survive the crises, by doing certain specific actions, and without asking authorities for help. In this article we're giving you the steps on how to recover from financial catastrophe.
Gather All of Your Possessions
Personal financial crises, and of course the bankruptcy are states of high alert, and if you were saving money for the rainy days, it really can't get more wet than that. In addition to these savings you should also gather your children's college funds, retirement funds and estimate the value of all of your material possessions. The final figure is the amount of money you have. Most of the Americans are gathering possessions they don't really need all their life, and this is definitely the time to pawn most of those.
Determine the Total Amount of Your Debt
Count all of your mortgages, credit cards, student debt, literally all the money you owe. Try covering some part of it with the money from your savings accounts. Sell some of the luxury items from your possession, and get rid of everything that is not necessary.
Contact Your Creditors
Call all of your creditors and explain your situation to them. Don't expect them to be too sympathetic, but since this situation can also affect their business, try to find a way to agree on more favorable debt recovery plan. When it comes to creditors, your inability to pay back the debt is concerning them as much as it concerns yourself, so don't take no for an answer. Offer them regular token payments, because creditors are always more supportive for clients that are at least trying to pay back their debt instead of declaring personal bankruptcy.
Cut Your Costs
This is one of the hardest steps, since you need to renounce from all the luxuries you used to spend your money on. You need to stop eating outside, drinking fancy wines, buying designer clothes etc. But luxuries like these are not the only enemy to your solvency. There are number of other expensive things most people can live without. Your car is one of those things. In most big cities there's a very functional public transport network, and of course there are also many ride share websites nowadays. Also cancel subscriptions you may have, such as those to a penny stock newsletter. Couponing is also a good way to save on buying groceries and it is much less expensive to live with one or several roommates, than by yourself. You can find plenty more ways to cut your costs online.
Work More
If your current salary can't cover your living expenses and monthly payments to your creditors, you should find another part-time work. This can be anything from, from waitering to landscaping, but by far the most profitable part-time jobs today are the freelance ones. Use your profession wisely and start a consulting or freelancing on the side. For finding your first clients you can register at some of the popular freelancing market places. No matter what you do, be very determined to get the part-time job or to satisfy your freelance client. If competition is big try outbidding them with asking for a lower salary or offering some extra gifts or services.
By following all these steps you will be able to overcome all the hardships of financial bankruptcy. Remember to always be honest with your friends and family about the situation you're in and you'll always be able count on their support.

Chan: Don't Impose Your Beliefs on Me
North side Councilwoman Elisa Chan said today that her views on homosexuality are her own and based on her life experience. And the councilwoman said she doesn't not try to enforce her views on others, and she asked why others are criticizing her for expressing her opinion.
"Even though we may or may not agree with each other, my beliefs, my views, are mine," she said. "I do not impose that on anybody else, and I am not asking anybody to agree with me."
She added: "Even though the LGBT community and I do not share the same views, I support their personal freedom and their right to their lifestyle."
Chan met with reporters and several dozen supporters at a hastily called news conference in the City Hall briefing room. Chan's office was so concerned that the event would be disrupted by hecklers and agitators that they only released the time and location of the news conference to the media twenty minutes before the event started.
It is Chan's first public comments since the San Antonio Express-News released secretly recorded comments she made to her staff members in her City Hall office in May in which she expressed opposition to the gay and lesbian non discrimination ordinance now under consideration by city council.
One of the most controversial comments she is heard making on the secretly recorded tape is claiming that finds homosexuality 'disgusting.' Chan said today that comment was 'taken out of context.' She said she was referring to 'pedophilia' and 'bestiality' at the time, not homosexuality. Chan hinted that the tape may have been 'edited' before it was released Friday by the San Antonio Express-News
"My question is, does all this pressure for me to agree, I simply don't understand," Chan said, as her supporters applauded.
"Do you, do I, do anyone else be entitled to our own personal opinions," she asked.
The comments follow Chan's written statement yesterday in which she said she would continue to fight for her First Amendment rights to speak out on the issues.
Chan, who is a native of Taiwan, says 'her value system' led her to feel the way she does about homosexuality and other issues.
"It is important for me to emphasize that I like everybody, I believe everybody has fundamentally good hearts," she said. "That is why I fundamentally don't understand what Mr. James Stevens did."
Stevens is the former Chan staffer who secretly released the audio recording. Chan said, interestingly, after the meeting, Stevens asked to become a full time employee. She asked why somebody who allegedly found her comments so repellant would want to work for her full time.
Chan also said she feels she has 'good support' from her council district, which is the most conservative in the city.
After taking two questions, Chan abruptly ended the news conference and walked out of the room, to loud applause from two dozen supporters who were invited to be in the room.

I love all sorts of deserts and nothing calls for sweet treats quite like Valentine's Day. Creating simple deserts is so easy. Dip strawberry's in white chocolate (with food coloring to make pink if desired) and you have a simple desert that you can feed your loved one. Make bite size cookies and color some simple frosting to make cookie sandwiches, and marshmallows are so easy to dip and decorate. I have a mini cupcake pan so you could easily make bite sized brownies and cupcakes. It's simple and bite sized fun!
What a cute idea. My husband would really love something like this so he doesn't go over on his calories.
So cute. Love the presentation too 🙂
What a great idea for Valentines Day!
God is so cute, loss of appetite

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Tony Rice
Raised in Southern California, Rice inherited his musical skill from his father, who played with several West Coast bluegrass bands and was heavily influenced by California-based bluegrass groups, including the Dillards and the Kentucky Colonels, which featured influential guitar picker Clarence White. Moving temporarily to Kentucky in 1970, Rice became a charter member of the Bluegrass Alliance, one of the earliest contemporary bluegrass groups. As a member of J.D. Crowe's New South in the early '70s, along with Ricky Skaggs and Jerry Douglas, he continued to promote a new approach to the music of the hill country. After meeting imaginative mandolin player David Grisman during a jam session in 1975, Rice returned to California and helped to form the David Grisman Quintet. During the five years that he played with the group, Rice helped to lay the foundation for the "new grass" style that Grisman dubbed "Dawg Music." Leaving the Grisman Quintet, Rice formed a bluegrass supergroup, the Bluegrass Album Band, with J.D. Crowe, Bobby Hicks, Doyle Lawson, and Todd Phillips. Although only a part-time venture, the group produced five memorable albums.
Rice's albums as a soloist and with his band, the Tony Rice Unit, have ranged from the jazz-tinged Mar West, which included bluegrass-style treatments of tunes by Miles Davis and John Coltrane, to singer/songwriter-oriented albums, including Cold on the Shoulder, Native American, and Me & My Guitar, which featured his virtuosic guitar picking and soulful vocalizing of songs by Ian Tyson, Phil Ochs, and Gordon Lightfoot. Rice released an album-length collection of Lightfoot's songs, Sings Gordon Lightfoot, in 1996. Rice continued to interpret the traditional bluegrass repertoire as well, releasing an album of old chestnuts, Plays and Sings Bluegrass, the same year. In 1997, with his brother Larry Rice, Chris Hillman, and banjoist Herb Pedersen, he founded Rice, Rice, Hillman & Pedersen, and the superstar quartet released three albums between 1997 and 2001. Rice's singing voice had been essentially silenced due to dysphonia since the early '90s, but he remained a top instrumentalist, collaborating with Peter Rowan on a pair of albums for Rounder Records, 2004's You Were There for Me and 2007's Quartet. The encouragingly titled Tony Rice Sings and Plays Bill Monroe appeared in 2011. ~ Craig Harris & Steve Leggett

The World Cup Can't Come Soon Enough for AdidasBy
A polar vortex, it turns out, doesn't make for a nice day on the links. The harsh U.S. winter crushed the Adidas TaylorMade golf business and sent earnings at the sportswear giant into some rough territory.
Almost 40 percent of TaylorMade sales disappeared in January, February, and March, dragging the company's total revenue down by 5 percent. Adidas profit dropped 34 percent, to €206 million, as a relatively strong euro further battered weak sales.
Golf typically makes up about 10 percent of Adidas's business, and the recent quarter's result underscores the risk of a mass-market giant dabbling in a high-end slice of the sports market. Sure, the customer demographic is attractive and diversification is smart, but golf is hugely sensitive to both weather and the economy. (Ski gear is another category that presents the same challenges).
Last year, the total rounds of golf played in the U.S. dropped 5 percent, according to the National Golf Foundation. This winter, greens were even emptier. Golf rounds dropped 3.6 percent in January, 4.6 percent in February, and a whopping 23 percent in March.
Not surprisingly, Adidas sales in North America fell 24 percent in the recent quarter, and Chief Executive Officer Herbert Hainer said it's not looking up: "Honestly, I don't see a big improvement in the golf market in 2014."
Meanwhile, kids are going to buy soccer cleats and basketball shoes regardless of how much snow—or the Dow—falls. Indeed, sales of Adidas soccer gear and apparel were up 27 percent last quarter. Its business plan at the moment boils down to this bit of its earnings presentation this morning: "37 days until the World Cup."
Come June, Brazil could be peppered with golf-ball-size hail and those flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz, and the world's football fans will still be snapping up national team jerseys ($90); kids from Chile to China will be whining for the crazy new cleat/sock hybrid Adidas is offering, the Primeknit FS. "The second quarter is definitely a football quarter and is definitely an Adidas quarter," Hainer said.
Five-hundred dollar golf clubs, meanwhile, can wait.

So I'm trying to sell my exhaust, what's the right way to do this? I've never shipped anything before

So I'm trying to sell my exhaust, what's the right way to do this? I've never shipped anything before
2013 WRX sedan - MODS = pretty much every bolt on besides a bigger turbo.
1. Find a box, or wrap the hell out of it in bubble wrap.
2. Weigh it and take dimensions.
3. Get a rough quote on fedex.com or ups.com
4. Take it to the shipping store of your choosing.
5. Forward the tracking information to the buyer.
*Shipping an exhaust is heavy and bulky. It's not going to be cheap. I'd recommend a local sale for things like that. That said, the FedEx office I use has shipped bare exhaust pipes before, so it's not unheard of, but it will cost you.

I always sell exhausts locally on craigslist. To ship a stock TBE due to the weight of the giant muffler, would cost around $100 to ship. If someone really wanted you to do it, contact UPS and FEDex for quotes. If it is too heavy, they may not ship it, but most likely they will.
Paypal is a good medium for the money exchange. But document with pics, and save shipping receipts for proof in case the transaction goes bad.
Pay for tracking.

On 3/24/14 a friend purchased 4 DU2358016-1 (product code) 235/80R 16 10 DURO STS TL tires from the Bencia Service Division of East Bay Tires. The tires were mounted on my Raptor 5th wheel. The tires were rated as E and met load capability of the original tires that were removed. Two weeks later I started a cross-country move from CA to AL driving the 5th wheel. All 4 tires bubbled and had to be replaced during the course of the 5 day trip out of pocket. Not to mention the inconvenience of jacking up a 38ft 5th wheel and unloading the garage each of the times a tire failed roadside. I am out of pocket at least $600. The Sales Person was Dale Anderson.
As I did not personally purchase the tires and am no longer in CA I had someone contact the East Bay Tire Co distributor who was not willing to assist with refunding my money. I do not want replacement Duro tires (and that was not offered as an option). I have been unable to locate a Duro dealership in AL.
While online I noticed another similar complaint in 2010 for defective E Duro RV tires for the same bubbling issue. I believe they sell a defective product and they should not be allowed to do so.

Making sense of working lives and working choices : the role of satirical cartoons
Townsend, Keith J., McDonald, Paula K., & Esders, Linda P. (2009) Making sense of working lives and working choices : the role of satirical cartoons. In Drucker, Jan (Ed.) Proceedings of the 15th International Employment Relations Association Conference: Working Lives, Working Choices, 9–13 July 2007, Canterbury Christ Church University, Canterbury.
|Published Version (PDF 965kB)
This study examined the tone and content of 107 political, satirical cartoons images published in the popular culture forum of mainstream newspapers. The cartoons illustrated the reform of the industrial relations system in Australia in 2005 and 2006. The images were conveyed in a moderate tone. That is, they were more about poking fun at and questioning authority and power, rather than simply describing the issues on one hand, or demonstrating any revolutionary fervor on the other. The cartoons' content represented many of the concerns and issues being voiced by employer groups, government, opposition, unions and the media at the time. Themes likely to evoke a strong response from the readership included the importance of a collective response in voicing opposition to the legislation and enacting change, the risks to fundamental working conditions, the stealth and dogma associated with the rollout of the changes and the increasing disparity in wealth and power between employers and workers. The images were an important part of the wider discourse and a mechanism which helped place industrial relations squarely in the minds of working Australians.

ICL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES: Bovard wins third straight league title
BOVARD — With momentum on their side, the Bovard Bison finished their Indiana County League baseball championship series against Blairsville the same way they started it — with a blowout win.
After sweating out wins in Games 2 and 3, second-seeded Bovard again looked dominant, claiming its third straight league championship and sweeping top-seeded Blairsville with a 10-2 win in Game 4 of the best-of-seven championship series Monday.
The Bison, who entered the league in 2000, won their 10th consecutive championship series game over the past three years.
Bovard bested Amfire Mining in six games in 2011. Last year, the Bison swept Amfire Mining, out- scoring the Indies 37-4. Creekside was the last team to claim three straight titles in the ICL, winning in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Before that, West Lebanon won 11 straight titles between 1995 and 2005.
Bovard player-manager Mike Johnson, who's played for the Bison for more than two decades, said he's savored each of the team's three titles equally.
"They all feel sweet," Johnson said. "It feels good every year. I'm just happy to have these guys with me every year. It's nice to keep winning with them, and they keep coming back, so it's enjoyable."
For the second consecutive season, Bovard pitcher Brandon Hassinger pitched six innings and earned a win in the decisive game of the championship series. Hassinger struck out three, walked two and allowed six hits. Last year, he fanned five, walked three and surrendered just two hits in Game 4 against Amfire Mining.
"He gives everyone problems because he can bring it sidearm," Johnson said. "He throws it pretty hard and he changes speeds, and he's been doing that for me for years. I hope he sticks around."
Anthony Marazza walked and then scored on a Zack Martin base hit to give Bovard a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Steve Anderson and Martin each scored later in the inning on an error to make it a 3-0 game.
"That was huge," Johnson said. "We got our morale up and got our team enthused and ready to win. It was just a good turning point. We got a couple runs for our pitcher, too."
Blairsville starting pitcher Neal West walked Martin, Anthony Manley and Johnson to load the bases with one out in the bottom of the third. Steve Zerbini made West pay on the next at-bat, ripping a two-run single down the third-base line to stretch Bovard's lead to 5-0.
Then, after West was replaced by Scott Harsh, Pat Kohl cracked an RBI single to make it 6-0. Marazza then hit a sacrifice fly, and Anderson followed with a two-run double to extend Bovard's lead to 9-0.
Martin smacked a two-out RBI double to score Anderson and cap the rally, making it a 10-0 game.
"Neal gave up three runs there, one of which was earned. The other two they got on an error at shortstop, which should have got us out of the inning. It should have been a double-play ball," Blairsville player-manager Joe Culler said. "But that's kind of the way it went all series. They got the lucky hits or the good hits and we were unable to produce or make the plays."
Jarred Pennavaria drilled a two-run single with the bases loaded in the top of the fourth to trim Bovard's lead to 10-2. But later in the inning and with runners on first and second, Hassinger escaped the jam by baiting Jordan Truscott into grounding out.
Hassinger walked none and allowed one hit and no runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Reliever Alex Nagy cemented the win by serving up no hits and no runs in the seventh.
Martin went 2-for-3 and was named MVP of the championship series. He finished the series 7-for-16 with four RBIs and five runs scored.
"I don't really try to do too much, but when I get an opportunity, I like to capitalize," Martin said. "It's just nice to come out and support the team. I've been on the team for four years and we've been a tight-knit group the entire time. We're pretty much all friends on and off the field. It's really a great team to play for."
Kohl and Zerbini each singled twice to power Bovard, which racked up nine hits.
The Colts won their first regular season title in club history and punched their first ticket to the league championship series since 2003.
Culler was gracious in defeat, complimenting the Bison and Johnson for taking the proper measures to win their third straight league title. Culler also expressed optimism regarding his team's future, despite the fact that they were outscored 28-7 in the championship series.
"To put a good positive spin on it, I'd like to look at our guys as a lot like these guys five or six years ago," Culler said. "They were just coming out of high school (and) getting into the college ranks. But now a lot of Bovard's players are finished playing college and they're coaching, so hopefully our guys can progress into the same thing and we can get a similar thing going here."

Comparison of clinical body composition methods in people taking weight-inducing atypical antipsychotic medications
Sharpe, Jenny-Kay, Byrne, Nuala M., Stedman, Terry J., & Hills, Andrew P. (2008) Comparison of clinical body composition methods in people taking weight-inducing atypical antipsychotic medications. Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 17(4), pp. 573-580.
The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of clinical methods to estimate body fat (%BF) in people who take weight-inducing atypical antipsychotic medications. Forty-seven people (35 males, 12 females) with previously diagnosed psychotic illness who had been taking atypical antipsychotic medications for more than 6 months took part in this study. Percentage body fat was estimated using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and anthropometry from previously published prediction equations and compared with that measured using the deuterium dilution technique which served as the criterion measure. Bland-Altman analyses were used to assess the agreement between measures. In the males, %BF determined using BIA with the Lukaski equation was the only clinical method with mean differences that were not significant from criterion values. While in the females, %BF determined from BMI was the only method that was significantly different from the criterion values. All of the methods of estimating %BF except Watson equations provided consistent estimates across the weight range. Therefore, this study suggests that in a group of people who predominantly had schizophrenia and were taking atypical antipsychotic medications, BIA using the equation of Lukaski was the best indicator of %BF, although on an individual basis the accuracy was poor. BMI underestimated %BF to a greater significant extent than BIA. The use of BIA rather than BMI may provide a better indicator of adiposity in people who take weight inducing antipsychotic medications.

Bryan-College Station, TX
If you aren't an Aggie, you might consider a day trip to Aggieland worse than community service. But believe it or not, there is more in College Station than just lots and lots of Aggies. But if you are headed to Aggieland, you might as well make a stop by the campus of Texas A&M University to see Aggie traditions such as the Century Tree, the statue of Sullivan Ross, and Kyle Field. On the north side of Kyle field, you'll see the tombs of past Reveillies complete with private score board so that mascots past won't miss a single touchdown. While on campus, visit the George Bush Presidential Library. George Bush 41 wasn't an Aggie, but loved the Aggie tradition so much that he put his Presidential Library on campus.
And one thing every college town has is great grub. College kids need to eat, and BCS provides. Near campus, you might want to grab a burger and beer at the Dixie Chicken, the kind of establishment Aggie legends are made of, complete with full bar, dominos, and rattlesnake cage. Or check out Laynes Chicken Fingers, a place so passionate about its golden fried chicken fingers that all it serves are chicken finger baskets and chicken finger sandwiches. I also highly recommend grabbing a Snuffy burger at the Chicken Oil Company in Bryan (order it "Death" style if you want to dance with danger), and Mr. G's Pizzeria in downtown Bryan serves up a mean calzone.
Lovers of class and other fine things might want to head to the renovated Downtown Bryan for some shopping and food, or to the Messina Hof Winery, one of the most-decorated in the state.
And finally, for outdoor lovers, Lake Bryan is a great place to go swimming, or to mountain bike along its 20 miles and miles of well-kept trails.


text: Hi, our T went on holiday over Xmas and came back to frozen pipes and boiler not working. The cost of repair was £360, which they were liable for as it is in the contract regarding keeping pipes warm during the winter when you're away. When the next payment for rent was due, they deducted the £360 cost from it - very cheeky. Fortunately I was able to claim the money back via our insurance, now however there has been another problem costing £85 to fix - the pressure kept dropping on the boiler and they over-filled it to cause a value to break. Again, they are refusing to pay for this and on this occasion I am not covered. They let this problem escalate without telling us. Where do we stand? Thanks.

Bingo.com, Ltd. (BNGOF.OB) Announces Selection of Cozy Games as New Software Provider
Bingo.com, Ltd., operator of the online gaming community http://www.bingo.com, announced this morning that it has selected Cozy Games to be its new core software platform for bingo, slots, and other casino games. The games are now available to everyone at the Bingo.com website after a smooth transition to the new system.
"We're excited to be live on the Cozy Games system," stated Tarrnie Williams, Bingo.com's CEO. "We believe that with an improved bingo product, the addition of over 30 new slots games, the upcoming availability of our games over smart phones, and many other advanced features, Bingo.com will experience greater player values from both our existing and new players. Furthermore, we believe that with the Cozy Games software, Bingo.com is in an excellent position for continued growth by capturing market share from other operators due to having a unique and competitive product. The Cozy Games system also provides full multi-language and multi-currency support enabling Bingo.com to continue its expansion into new markets."
"We believe the decision to move to the Cozy Games platform will enable us to implement the next phase of our strategic plan for Bingo.com," commented Mr. Williams. "When we entered the UK market we had to start again from scratch after leading the US market in online bingo. Our plan was to acquire as many players as possible in a cost effective manner utilizing the strength of the Bingo.com URL and a generous bonus structure. We believe we have achieved that task, having registered over 600,000 non- North American players – all of which was accomplished in a highly competitive market and in a challenging economic climate."
"The time has come to concentrate not solely on growth, but on a return to the profitability we enjoyed previously," he continued. "We believe this can be achieved, but will result in lower revenues going forward as we tighten the gaming incentives provided to new players. Over the past several months we have spent considerable resources in preparing for the switch of gaming platforms. We have modified our staffing to realize both cost savings and a better alignment to focus on this phase of our strategic plan. We have secured new servers in Malta where we recently received our Class 1 and Class 3 licenses enabling us to legally provide and market online Internet gaming throughout the UK. We will also soon be implementing a new social networking system integrated with the Cozy Games platform to facilitate the acquisition of new players to complement the Facebook(TM) (www.facebook.com) and Twitter(TM) (www.twitter.com) pages we have created and maintain."
"We believe Bingo.com is well positioned to capitalize on the next phase of our plan in the high growth and high value online bingo marketplace," Williams concluded.

What does breast reduction surgery involve?Breast reduction surgery may last for about three to three and a half hours, and includes portions of the breast and extra skin being removed. The nipple areola, which stretched out when the breasts got bigger and saggy, is made smaller and more appropriate in size. The entire breast is taken down and repositioned in a higher position.
Patients do not have to be admitted to the hospital for this procedure as it can be done on an outpatient basis. Patients go home following the surgery and generally do not experience much discomfort or too many complications. The surgery is generally performed under general anesthesia.
There are different techniques to perform the surgery. One of the main techniques is the anchor incision technique performed on patients who need a substantial breast reduction. An anchor-shaped incision is made around the nipple areola complex, and a horizontal incision is made under the breast crease. Thereafter, the excess breast fat, tissue and skin are removed. The horizontal incision may be avoided in a case where the breasts are not too large.
In some cases, breast reduction may also involve repositioning of the nipple and areola if the breasts have drooped down substantially. Sometimes the procedure may be performed in combination with breast lift surgery to achieve optimal results. This decision has to be a part of the treatment planning that is done prior to the surgery in consultation with the patient.
Some patients may not have very large breasts, so the breast reduction surgery in such cases may involve a minor incision around the areola. This procedure results in minimal scarring, but it is useful only when a small amount of breast fat and tissue needs to be removed. Dr. Edmund Kwan ensures that a conservative approach to surgery is adopted so that the desired results can be achieved with minimal risk and minimal scarring.

Dr. Kwan is by far the most talented surgeon I have EVER crossed paths with. I came to Dr. Kwan after an under eye fat transplant, performed 'by another' plastic surgeon, which deformed my face. It was only until I was under Dr.Kwan's care that the deformity was corrected. Dr. Kwan literally gave me back my beauty. This was a priceless feeling. That was about 4 years ago, I can assure you ever since- Dr. Kwan is the ONLY plastic surgeon I trust my face and body to. I look forward to my body contouring procedure coming up in a few weeks!! :)

The staff treated me very kindly, with respect and genuine smiles. Dr Kwan is a real professional in my opinion. He took the time to listen to my story, addressed my concerns and took his time to walk me through the process and give me his opinion and explanation on his recommendation. I had my surgery in his practice and we went over everything again before I met up with the anesthesiologist, who was equally as nice and professional as everyone else at his practice. We started counting bikes ... and after bike #6 I fell a sleep. When I woke up, he was there to tell me I did great and before I knew it I was in a taxi cab back home with my best friend who came to pick me up. So I don't know if this is typical, but I had no pain whatsoever after the surgery. . I am very very happy with the results. Dr Kwan did an amazing job and I couldn't be more pleased.

I was involved in an automobile accident last May, 2013. The outcome from the emergency room left me with 5 stitches on the bridge of my nose, and the tip of my nose was missing due to the severe impact of the accident. I called and scheduled an appointment to visit Dr. Kwan so he could assess my nose. Upon arriving to the office, I was immediately impressed with the facility, service, and professionalism of his staff. Dr. Kwan met with me and examined my nose and in detail, he explained the approach he would take in order to get my nose like brand new again.On the day of my surgery, I was met by Dr Kwan, who performed the surgery, himself. His Anesthesiologist was very informative and professional as well. The outcome of Phase 1 was a success. In addition to that, the staff even called my medication into the pharmacy that way it would be ready as soon as I left the office. My nose is 98% back to normal, I now look forward to Phase 2 to be completed. After that procedure is done I am positive my nose will look absolutely perfect and I will be back to my confident self again. Thanks Dr Kwan and Staff.

I have had several surgeries with Dr Kwan, and would recommend him highly. Liposuction of abdomen and love handles came out smooth. Upper eyelids look younger and refreshed, and the Basal Cell Cancer he cut out of my nose is not even visible, despite the fact that it was right along the rim of my left nostril.
Edmund Kwan, M.D.5
T. Cannon
I have been using Dr Kwan for over 10 years now. I have had many different procedures and all of them have turned out great. One of the breast augmentations had a crimp in the left breast and he had no problem going in to revise it to assure my satisfaction. I have always liked the way he answers each of my concerns and we go over everything for each procedure I've done several times to assure we are on the same page :) Take a list of any questions or concerns and I guarantee you will love your results no matter what procedure he is doing for you! .

Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz can sleep peacefully tonight since the state of Kansas has made it illegal for any state agency to base a decision relying on foreign law. This marks a fantastic breakthrough in American history. For the first time in centuries we will not be fearful that Muslims are using their laws to infiltrate our Judaic -Christian law system. It means that no foreign law can be applied in making decisions in the state of Kansas.
I am confused. Since the "American law system" derives from "English common law," does this mean the end of trial by jury of your peers? Does this mean the end of freedom of speech and the press?
Anyway, I think it is great that no more reference to Jesus by Republican candidates.

Hair loss, itching and lots of gas in multiple dogs suspecting the food
I have both of my girls on Costco's Kirkland lamb and rice dog food. Nikkia has been eating it for years and Kavik has been eating it since I got her last August so about 6 months. Both have been fine until now.
It started within the last 2 bags.
Nikkia started getting really gassy I've been popping gas-x pills into her for the last 2 bags. Poor thing is miserable. Especially considering she is scared to death of her own farts.
Kavik has also been experiencing problems the last 2 bags. She started losing hair. I wasn't worried at first because she was just losing undercoat and I thought it was a normal spring shed. But her undercoat is gone now and she just keeps losing more and more fur. If I even lightly pull back on her fur I will get a handful of coarse top coat which IS NOT normal for her.
My mom also feeds her papillons the same brand. When I was talking to her the other day she told me that one of her girls has become EXTREMELY itchy lately. And her other has acted uncomfortable.
But my brother who feeds his lab the same brand reported that his dog was fine. Although his ears had seemed a bit itchier as of late.
Anyone else having any problems? Know if they've tweeked their formula? Etc... I'm not trying to bash the food we enjoyed it until now but with all of these dogs having issues I can't help but to suspect
Oh and I am thinking of switching does anyone have any good affordable suggestions? I'd feed raw but just can't afford it right now.
I did complain to our local costco about the problems with the first bag so they gave us the second but they are almost done with it and are still having problems.
I don't feed kibble but take a look at some of these reviews:
Top 26 Complaints and Reviews about Kirkland Pet Foods
Call the customer service hotline and ask if changes were made to the formula. In any case, I would switch foods because of the problems.

So I've been wanting to update my media streamer for a while.
In our kitchen I have an amp and speakers, and I have a Raspberry Pi One acting as a media streamer, primarily for use with Air Play.
It sounds truly amazing. I did the build for around £30.
Here is my build list -
Software - http://Volumio.org
Pi Zero W - Board only
Hammer on - Header Board - this is genius
DAC Board - Gives the Pi Decent Sound capability
Metal stand-offs - These just look nice
Parts I already had -
8 Gb Micro SD Card
Power Supply - Used an old phone charger
Micro USB Cable
RCA Cable
Amp + Speakers

This weekend…..
I've realised the truth that Docker is the future. Please take a few moments to inhale docker.com
I've built a MS SQL 2016, in Docker, connected to from another Container running Swift.

So I have gotten myself another Raspberry Pi 1 Model B. (from eBay with case, power supply and 8GB SD for under £20).
I've plugged in an Edmiax WIFI USB Card. Plus the star purchase a £4 USB Conexant modem. This is a good news, as this modem can decode UK caller ID signals.
So the goal is to broadcast who's calling my home phone line and send who's calling to my desktop Mac and various iOS devices.
The Pi, side of things took the longest. I decided to use the common established and old (all good things for reliability) NCID package. Getting this onto the Pi took the longest.
I ended up having to compile the source code, and then struggled to get the thing to start automatically.
In the end this was the best guide I found -
I used the 1.4 version of NCID.
Once up and running, I used another terminal window to telnet to my Pi on port 3333 to check that when my home phone rings the Pi was decoding (via NCID) the incoming caller ID information.
You get something back like the following -
So good news, phone rings the telnet window updates, with who's calling.
The next step was to notify all Macs and iOS devices. I followed the guide here to 'borrow' how they collected output from NCID for their own purposes...
My modification was to change the output command to curl a web request adapted to my own web server.
As discussed previously I have managed to get Safari and iOS push notifications working, so I utilised that and a database of device tokens and a database of phone numbers to names, to send and Apple Push Notification.
Net result, phone rings. All my devices go PING and instantly display who's calling -
Click the notification and you can see/edit (in Safari) the name associated to the number and see last calls -
In iOS, it works similarly.

So its taken me some time, but I finally have managed to enable Safari push notifications on my Bin Collections website.
Take a look at http://binaryrefinery.com/bincollections
So now if you are a Mac user, using Safari and happen to live in the South Cambridgeshire area I can send you a notification when and which bin to put out.
I implemented the backend in ASP.NET using a handler to receive the messages that Apple pushes out as users sign up or remove themselves from the service.
Gotcha's along the way. Apple uses a restful API, so you must get your handler to listen for all the relevant HTTP Verbs, GET,POST,DELETE.
Once I got this cracked and assembled a push package things started to work!
Another thing to watch out for, Apple changed the intermediate developer certs. Make sure you have the latest set on your development machine before you start. I didn't, and my keys all didn't get signed correctly. Please look at -
If you have an error, and Apple sends you a log to your Web-service complaining about a push package. I've found the only way to get things working again is to disable and enable push notification support for your website in Safari for the offending Mac that you tried to push the message too.
As well as sending weekly reminders, I also send via push if you change any of your alert settings
I implemented much of the backend using a database of which certificates and keys to use, this should make it much easier to use Safari push for other projects and challenges. This database also logs to a table any logging or errors that Apple reports back.
If your thinking about trying this yourself (I'm of course happy to assist). Please read and re-read the Apple guides. They do have everything there you should need. I also have found apple Developer support first rate in guiding me through which now appears like stupid errors.

Now this is quite a big deal for me.
I spend most of my time in the land of enterprise apps (as you know). Most of the effort it with building the infrastructure to have someones device talk back to one of our servers. I get wrapped up with issues, about connectivity/amount of bandwidth I've got and what happens if someone goes offline. iCloud has been a walled garden up until this point. Its great for syncing your photos/documents etc. but its a closed system for us Enterprise folks. Now I've got the ability to use iCloud to also host my enterprise data. I can pump data into iCloud; securely. iOS takes care of the synchronisation for me.
So use case. I can take a bunch of data, say a price catalogue and some tables to store quotes. Pump that over to iCloud. Then my mobile app. can just auto-magically just see all that data. I can quickly just build a UI to take customer orders and let iOS just do its thing to make sure all the data just synchronises. All I have to worry about is getting the data in and out of the iCloud servers. This is where the pretty comprehensive and secure (well it looks that way) new API comes in.
So you can do this now, and thanks to some kind help on the Apple Developer Forums, + I can do this all from (our own walled garden) from c#.
Announcement here
Code to follow
Posted On Friday, February 12, 2016 1:41 AM | Comments (0)
So some good progress. I wrote a bit of python that reads the Meta-Data from Shairport Sync. This gets me album art, artist title etc.
I can send this code to you, if you are interested.
Just to make the cabling a little neater, I needed to make the Pi work upside down, which resulted in me needing to rotate the album art image by 180 degrees.
The Debian Package ImageMagic takes care of all this. I ended up with the python script saving the image out to a folder, I then run the following command every time I get a new image
convert albumart.jpg -rotate 180 albumart.jpg; sudo fbi -T 1 -d /dev/fb0 -noverbose -a -u albumart.jpg > /dev/null 2>&1
This rotates the image and then using FBI output's the jpg to the LCD screen.
So I'm still working on making sure everything is stable, but all works as described so far…

So I got myself one of these from Ebay.
Its a 320x480 screen that fits to a Raspberry Pi.
After a bit of digging (and fortunately) a backup of the Pi, pre and post installation, I got it working.
The screen came from China, in just a bit of bubble wrap.
I'm interested in using the screen to display caller-ID and album-art for what's play. So a top word of advice. When you get a screen like this, take a photo of the back...
The back showed, that my screen was a version 3, of a Kedei 3.5 480 x 320 display.
This was the key. I found that these screens are version dependant.
Someone kindly uploaded it and all the information can be found here.
This is what I followed to get my display working -

Adam Christianson, picked up on my experimentation with HomeBridge last week. Much thanks
Posted On Friday, January 22, 2016 10:36 PM | Comments (0)
In big news, I now have Apple HomeKit working at home.
Last night I was able to stand outside my house (outside of our WIFI range) and speak into Apple watch, and say Hey Siri, Switch Living Room Lights on. & the correct lights all came on.
This little achievement was due to the fact I had some Phillips Hue Bulbs and the older non HomeKit hub. However, I came across this really neat bit of software that works on the Raspberry Pi. Called HomeBridge.
HomeBridge lets you turn HomeKit devices into ones that are compatible with the HomeKit system. It acts as a bridge, so HomeKit commands are understood by these devices. Their is a fair amount of support for things like WeMo switches etc.
A guide to setup, can be found here -
Essentially, because of the base work to get Apple File Sharing going on my Pi, I had the ground-work in place. Homebrige relies on Avahi, which provides the Bonjour services for the Pi.
To get HomeKit configured and working on your phone. You need to find yourself a HomeKit compatible app. with access to the room/house accessory screens.
This is what I used (Evo App) -
The only tricky part of the process was to make HomeBridge start when the Pi, starts-up. This was more down to my incompetence than hard to follow instructions.
So in summary. I now have a £25 always on Raspberry Pi B. (i.e the old one), running -
** AirPlay Music Streaming, using ShairPort Sync
So, that means I can send any audio from phone's, iPad's, Mac etc. to an amp and connected speakers.
*** I have file sharing for both Windows & Mac working. I can use the Pi, as a TimeMachine, copy files in and out. etc. Its slow, but it kind of works.
*** AirPrint, printing driving a label printer and PDF to Dropbox. I can print from iPads, iPhones with ease.

Dispute Over Springhills Continues With Lawsuit Delivered to County
While it may have come as a surprise to many who protested the Springhills expansion, PREIT however, has been combing through transcripts from public hearings, emails by the county and minutes from commission meetings from the past year looking for violations in the development process and now they say the found them.
This is what the developers of Springhills were proposing to build that is until they were denied the expansion they were seeking on May 3rd of this year.
After months of controversy and public uproar county commissioners said no to the 1.5 million acre commercial complex expansion, saying that they had to stick to the original plan --as known as the Development of Regional Impact, or DRI. Now PREIT is saying that the county has been meeting behind their back over the course of a year. the suit filed yesterday states: "That the county failed to provide reasonable notice of informal meetings the county commission held between January 17, 2006 and April 17, 2007."
At which the developer's lawyer, Bruce Goldman claims decisions were made. In a phone interview he said, "You can't crystallize decisions outside of the sunshine it was that that probably that triggered and tripped out interest in pursuing a legal remedy."
The county says otherwise, saying that no voting takes place at informal meetings. According to Mark Sexton, Alachua County Commission spokesperson, who could speak only on limited terms, said "The PREIT's contention that there were secret meetings that took place certainly the county contention that the meetings in question were properly notified and held in the sunshine."
But the developer says that isn't all. They say that traffic studies done by the planning council weren't in accordance to what PREIT expected. Goldman says that "What became 40 million dollars of roadways for which the project is significant and adverse became 120 million worth of roadways."
"The county commission did what they thought was right in the Springhills case, they had good reason to deny the comprehensive plan agreement," says Sexton.
PREIT is hoping that they county will revert to estimation from earlier studies that will require they pay no more than $18 million dollars, after reimbursements, for necessary road expansion.

California Drought Curbs Water Cannon Salutes at AirportsBy
The water cannon salute—an airport tradition to honor military veterans, foreign dignitaries, and new airline service—is on hiatus at California's two largest airports because of the state's severe drought. The salutes typically involve two firefighting rigs spraying arcs of water over an arriving or departing flight.
The nation's third-busiest airport, Los Angeles International, and the Los Angeles Fire Department decided to suspend the water salutes last week. San Francisco has also ceased the practice as state residents face strict usage curbs.
"In light of the drought California's facing, we didn't think it would be very appropriate to perform that kind of salute," says Captain Jaime Moore, a spokesman for the LAFD. Each salute, which lasts about two minutes, can use as much as 3,000 gallons of water, and the airport has no water-reclamation system, he says. The department's station at the airport will continue to send its two rigs and staff to honor certain flights, Moore says. "I'm sure that whoever we're saluting would understand why we're not saluting with water." The fire department's boats will continue using water for similar salutes to honor military personnel on ships at the San Pedro Harbor, as that water is drawn from the Pacific.
The next waterless salute comes March 31, when Saudi Arabian Airlines launches nonstop flights from Jeddah to Los Angeles three times per week. In San Francisco, the airport welcomes a new nonstop flight from Dublin on April 2. The firefighters and rigs will attend as usual—they just won't spray water, SFO spokesman Doug Yakel says.

[WINNERS & LOSERS] Jurgen Klinsmann's first game in charge ended in a 1-1 draw, but they were plenty of winners and
losers to go around on a day in Philadelphia that saw the USA and Mexico renew their fierce rivalry and MLS announce an historic television deal.
JURGEN KLINSMANN. For about 60 minutes or so, it didn't look good for the new U.S. coach, but the pitiful start followed by a strong finish gave Klinsmann the best of both worlds. The slow beginning allows him to start his team out at a very low baseline -- any improvement is progress -- but the positive ending meant Klinsmann and his players could go home all smiles.
LANDON DONOVAN. Perhaps no player other than Michael Bradley had more to prove in Klinsmann's first game in charge than Donovan, who was coming a rather disappointing Gold Cup -- remember he started on the bench for two games. Donovan justified the confidence Klinsmann has in him -- he him on loan to Bayern three winters ago -- with an excellent game -- once he was moved into the middle.
MLS. Despite it being a single midweek fixture date and most foreign leagues just starting, Klinsmann's initial roster included only seven MLS players in a squad of 22, but three MLS players created the tying goal: Juan Agudelo to Brek Shea to Robbie Rogers -- who wasn't even on the original roster -- for the tap-in. It's the kind of lift Klinsmann needs to get from MLS -- and it needs to get from the national team. Now let's see how long the league can keep players like Agudelo and Shea ...
FIFA. FIFA has to be liking the news that NBC has partnered with MLS on a TV deal. It gives FIFA two major broadcasting companies committed to U.S. soccer in a big way -- two major broadcasting companies who will hopefully jack up the rights fees when they get around to bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. With the timing of the MLS contracts with NBC and ESPN to end at the same time in 2014, it also gives MLS and FIFA leverage again to commingle their media rights and get the best deal for both of them.
MEXICO. The Tri came to Philadelphia and left as the Gold Cup champion, so it still has that over the USA, but given its recent form against the USA -- a three-game winning streak for the first time in 12 years and and almost total domination in the last two Gold Cup finals -- you would have expected more out of Mexico, even if it didn't have Javier Hernandez. The last 30 minutes debunked the notion that Mexico has moved into another class. It may come to regret that in two years when the USA and Mexico meet in the Hexagonal.
JERMAINE JONES. If the Klinsmann era is to be about creating and not destroying, then Jones' (short) run on the national team is nearing its end. The one German in the lineup should have delighted playing for his countryman, but of the veterans no one played as poorly as Jones did. He should take Klinsmann's praise of other holding midfielder, Kyle Beckerman, that his coach wasn't happy with his performance.
EDGAR CASTILLO. The only player on the field to have played for both the USA and Mexico, Castillo had waited a long time to get a second chance with the USA. Unfortunately, his performance was universally panned by the media with ratings in the 2 and 3 range. Fortunately for Castillo, recent performances by other U.S. left backs against Mexico haven't been any better -- Jonathan Bornstein in the 2011 Gold Cup final and Heath Pearce two years earlier. And give the New Mexican credit. Luck was on his side. Nothing happened on the corner kick that ensued after the ball bounced off his head out of nowhere and over the end line. And after he ruined a nice U.S. exchange of short passes with an errant pass, Mexico goalie Guillermo Ochoa turned around and hoofed the ball into touch, where Castillo's quick throw-in started the play that led to the U.S equalizer.
ESPN. USA-Mexico preempted for a Little league game -- not the World Series from Williamsport but a regional semifinal, no less? When it was already 8:30 p.m. ET, and New Tampa was still batting around in the top of the 4th inning of its game against Mobile, Ala., you knew trouble was brewing. There is precedence to ESPN's decision to stick with the Little League game and move the start of the USA-Mexico game. When faced with back-to-back live events, ESPN almost always sticks with the game nearing its conclusion and moves the game just starting to another network. Just imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. USA-Mexico is moving into stoppage time, and the Florida-Alabama Little Leaguers are just getting underway. Switching from a live event in midstream is rarely done. (The run-over was a shame because it took away from heavy-duty coverage of the game with Bob Ley brought in to lead the on-site studio show and Jorge Ramos added to give the coverage a Mexican perspective.)
