Lots of small problems with the car. Should i get rid? How many can I fix myself or cheaply
Hi guys. I recently posted about replacing anti-freeze in my radiator and want to thank you for the help, everything seems to have gone fine :D
I bought the car about 5 months ago now, and already I've had to pay for a new serpentine belt + tensioner, and a new fuel pump. I have plenty of little things wrong with the car (as do most that are 11 years old), but I'm wanting to know should I invest time and effort into fixing them up, or should I just sell it and get a new one? It's a long list of little things. What can I do myself, and how much do you think it will cost me to do it up?
1) Rust along the inside passengers door. A little outside/on the wheel arches, and "spots" on the top of the car. I've bought some touch up paint to try and remedy this ... going to sand it down myself.
2) Both front tyres need replacing, they're border line legal. I've been quote ~£100 for both.
3) MOT said brake disks were pitted, although my local garage has said this is bs and he wouldn't replace the brakes anytime soon.
4) Brakes always squeak under braking.
5) Belt squeal from under the hood in the mornings
6) Knocking from rear when on uneven road (i.e cobble where the car shakes from side to side. This doesn't happen if i'm going over speed bumps)
7) Creaking from the front when going over the same type of road listed in 6)
8) Annoying chirp from the dash when driving along. Very intermittent.
9) Whistling from throttle when under light accelleration. This also is intermittent. Usually happens on dry days.
10) Clutch sometimes moans (like two big steel plates rubbing together that have never been oiled). Rarely happens, usually when car is under stress i.e. a hill start.
11) Central locking doesn't work from the key. I think somethings wrong with the driver's side mechanism since it's the only door that doesn't unlock from the key.
12) Lots of steam off the bonnet in the rain. Doesn't happen in the dry...It's just rain coming off the warm bonnet, but sometimes it looks like my car's on fire when i'm in traffic...
So that's the complete list. I'd appreciate any tips or if you think I could fix any of these by myself on the cheap. Should i just sell the car?
Little edit: The car has 95k on the clock, no engine lights have ever come up on the vehicle, and it has an LPG conversion (which, as you can guess, doesn't work...It needs servicing and I don't know how much fixing it will be). Apart from that, I paid £800 for it, and it's been pretty reliable so far. All these niggles just annoy me though

A DD15K Top Dog travels to VA to log some miles with Casseday
Adam was within spittin distance of West Virginia as he ran through Pearisburg on RT 460. He was joined by the Top Dog's running partner Clay Warner for Day 19's segment. They knocked out 43 miles, which was Clay's longest run ever. I wonder what Adam was thinking yesterday as he passed the southern terminus of the Allegheny Trail on top of Peters Mountain. I'm sure that he learned so much from that experience and he couldn't be 20 days into the AT with out those few days on the Allegheny.

Revelation 1-5 (Word Biblical Commentary 52a)
Dr. David Aune s thoroughness in this definitive commentary on the first five chapters of the book of Revelation is nothing short of monumental. More is known today about the textual tradition of Revelation than about any other book in the New Testament, he asserts. In an introductory section that could easily stand alone as a book, he presents a comprehensive inventory and evaluation of all categories of textual evidence, and an exhaustive assessment of peculiarities of the syntax in the Greek written by John of Patmos.
Scholars and pastors will appreciate Aune s extensively annotated translation of the text, and his insights into the variant readings and nuances of every significant word.
An advocate of source criticism, Dr. Aune examines the full range of secular and biblical literature in search of possible sources for the striking literary devices in Revelation. His mastery of an incredibly broad range of ancient writings enables him to compare every pericope of Revelation to the literary traditions of the ages that preceded its writing, and thus to evaluate the possible sources for the forms John employed to write his vision. Although this volume of the Word Biblical Commentary series deals only with the first five chapters of Revelation, Aune s detailed introductory comments scrutinize the entire expanse of this mysterious book. He provides an expanded outline of all twenty-two chapters and focuses on the implications for the book of Revelation of such matters as:
All serious students of Revelation will value this latest effort to unravel its mysteries.
As he familiarizes his readers with myriad possible ways to see every detail in the text, Dr. Aune stakes out his own ambitious but well-informed theories. He calls his readers to look afresh at a majestic book, a book at once profoundly Jewish and Christian, and to think with him about how this marriage of dissimilar apocalyptic traditions might have taken place.

Shumlin says lawmakers need energy contract before re-licensing vote
02/18/09 6:34AM By John Dillon
(Host) Legislative leaders say they need to know what Vermont Yankee will charge for electricity if they are to vote this year on the plant's future.
Entergy Vermont Yankee has so far declined to offer utilities a power contract for electricity sold after 2012. That's when the plant's license expires. Yankee needs approval from the Legislature to operate for another 20 years.
Senate President Peter Shumlin says lawmakers can't vote on the license extension unless they know how much Yankee power will cost.
(Shumlin) ``If we don't know what the deal is for our constituents, what the price is going to be over the next 10 or 20 years, it's impossible to make a determination.''
(Host) Shumlin and House Speaker Shap Smith gave Yankee a deadline to come up with a deal by today.
(Smith) ``Let me be clear, I believe it will be an uphill struggle to make a decision this late in the session anyway. We're reducing the session to 16 weeks to save taxpayers money. We're facing a fiscal crisis. We have a lot on our plate. But it would definitely be out of the question to consider it in this session if we don't have a deal by February 18.''
(Host) Yankee spokesman Rob Williams says Yankee will not offer a new power contract today.
Williams says ratepayers will benefit because of a revenue-sharing agreement between Yankee and the utilities.
(Williams) ``I think when people take a close look at the value that is already in place as ordered by the Public Service Board that a reasonable person would see that this plant provides tremendous benefit for the state, even without a power purchase agreement.''
(Host) Vermont Yankee wants lawmakers to decide the issue this year, while it also seeks approval from the state Public Service Board and the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

A University of Northern Colorado faculty member has been awarded a three-year, $421,000 grant from the American Cancer Society to research strategies for minimizing the side effects of chemotherapy.
David Hydock and UNC researchers will study the factors that lead to severe fatigue in cancer patients being treated with the drug doxorubicin. The researchers will also continue investigating the benefits of exercise in impaired heart and skeletal muscle function — common side effects of the treatment.
Joining Hydock, an assistant professor in the School of Sport and Exercise Science, will be his mentor, Professor Reid Hayward, and two doctorate students, Eric Bredahl and Noah Gibson.
For 10 years, Hayward has been researching impaired cardiac function resulting from doxorubicin and the benefits of exercise. He was the first person in the field to conduct this type of research.
Hydock and the team will first investigate cardiac functionality and muscle functionality in a rat model, after doxorubicin has been introduced. Hydock and Hayward hope this will begin to reveal the specific elements of the drug that create such intense side effects in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
The second phase of the project explores the effects endurance and resistance forms of exercise have on muscle toxicity in a rat model. Through this research, the team hopes to discover new ways cancer patients can properly manage side effects of chemotherapy.
The project will begin July 1.
About the grantThe American Cancer Society Mentored Research Scholar Grant in Applied and Clinical Research provides support for mentored research and training to full-time junior faculty, typically within the initial four years of their first independent appointment. The goal is for these beginning investigators to become independent researchers as either clinical scientists or cancer control and prevention researchers. The title of Hydock's collaborative research (classified as MRSG-12-179-01-PCSM from the American Cancer Society) is "Doxorubicin Treatment and Skeletal Muscle Function: Effects of Exercise."

Basement subfloor
I am currently Doing a project in my basement. I get some water by the front door, I am planning on lifting the pavers and sealing the concrete. I am also planning on taking my cut-off saw and cutting in a drain, floor is already open, so it won't be a problem. But now my question is, I am planning on using a waterproof vinyl floor, the first room which is 250 sq ft I was thinking of using dri-core then the vinyl flooring, and the last 150 sq ft just vinyl and a vapor barrier. Any suggestions, or ideas. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Justin G
I'm hearing good things about dri-core so far, but everyone in this forum has a different opinion. Kinda makes it hard for guys like us who are starting out and just want to find out what is best to use.
I have used a product called Delta-FL. it is similiar to the black plastic under the dri-cor panels, you lay the delta-fl down use a special tape to seal the seams where the delta sheets connect and use spray foam insulation to seal the perimeter.
I have found/heard many negative responses to dri-cor because they say moisture could still get to the wood at the seams and cause mold/mildew. This is why i choose the Delta-FL. it is totally sealed and keeps the moisture under the floor.
You then lay 7/8 plywood over the delta and you can install any flooring. Laminate floating flooring can be installed directly on the Delta-FL.
Do a search for delta-fl and read there website and see if it fits your needs. i personally recommend it, for me it was a great find.
P.S. I used it on a concrete slab in my family room that didnt have serious moisture issues and the floor was properly leveled. Both these issues need to be corrected before installing and type of delta/dri-core.

Most of my research has involved the treatment of vortex-dominated flows in computational fluid dynamics and the treatment of short wave equation pulses, including the solution of real problems of engineering importance.
The recent development of the ``Vorticity Confinement'' method that eliminates effects of numerical diffusion, for computations on Eulerian grids, without the use of Lagrangian markers. This technique has recently been used in eight projects involving computation of: Helicopter Blade -- Vortex Interaction, Delta Wing Flow, Helicopter Rotor/Body Flow, Helicopter Body -- Vortex Interaction, Dynamic Stall, Aircraft Trailing Vortices, Supersonic Flow Over Missiles.
The recent development of a new Eulerian Computational technique for propagating short wave equation pulses over long distances without the use of Lagrangian markers, which require the use of complex logic and are not feasible for intersecting pulses. For computing thin pulse surfaces the method is analogous to the shock wave technique of replacing complex "short fitting" techniques with "shock capturing" techniques
Development of the ``Vortex Embedding'' method for computing compressible flow fields with embedded, strong, concentrated vortices. The method involved combining Lagrangian Vortex Lattice--type methods with Eulerian finite--volume transonic compressible flow methods on fixed, Eulerian grids. The Vortex Embedding technique and its implementation: the ``HELIX'' codes, have become one of the most effective tools for computing flows over modern rotors.
Development of a new low speed wind tunnel method for visualizing aerodynamic flows. This method involves heating and accelerating very small titanium pellets through a flow field, which leave thin trails of dense smoke. The method appears to have many advantages over pulsed--smoke wire methods, which give similar flow information. The method has been applied to thermally driven flows, flow over airfoils, and flow over model helicopter rotors.

- Myth: In Canada, your credit rating is affected by your age, income and gender. The higher a person's income, the better that person's credit rating will be. Reality: Your credit rating is based on your record of managing your finances responsibly. Lenders look at how you handle your financial obligations, such as whether you pay your monthly bills on time, carry a balance, or regularly miss payments.
- Myth: Someone who has a lot of assets in their home country will have a better credit rating. Reality: Although assets are part of the equation, lenders in Canada will also focus on your Canadian borrowing history to assess your creditworthiness. That's why it is important to build your Canadian credit profile early on, especially if you have plans for big purchases, such as a house or car, which typically require a loan. Even smaller transactions, such as renting living accommodations or getting a cell phone, often require a credit check.
- Myth: When you get married your credit scores are merged. Reality: Credit scores are based on individuals. Any joint application for a loan will be assessed on both partner's credit profiles. As well, any negative or positive reporting will be reflected on each score and could affect your approval or the terms of your loan.
Misconceptions about credit persist among new immigrants TORONTO, July 3, 2013 /CNW/ - Six-in-10 newcomers (60 per cent) who arrived in Canada in the past year say that they lack financial knowledge, including how to establish and build credit during their first year living in Canada, according to the RBC Newcomer Financial Attitudes Poll. Among those who have lived in Canada between two and five years, 92 percent of newer Canadians found their financial literacy about borrowing options improved. "We have an opportunity to improve financial understanding for newcomers to Canada when they first arrive and we have a role to play in making sure that they are getting the right advice from day one," said Paul Sy, director, Multicultural Markets, RBC. "Building a strong credit score is important to helping you get established in Canada, particularly when the time comes to buy a car or a family home." During the first year in their new home country, few newcomers believed that using a credit card would help them establish a credit rating (nine per cent) or make life more convenient (12 per cent). But over time, these newcomers pick up financial knowledge quickly, as they integrate into their communities and learn to use credit responsibly. For immigrants who have lived in Canada for two to five years, they were now more likely to agree that credit cards make life more convenient (59 per cent) and that it's easy to use a credit card to help establish a Canadian credit rating (54 per cent). "Economically and socially, it is in Canada's best interest for its consumers to be financially literate and practice good financial habits," said Sy. Demystifying credit for newcomers There are still a lot of misconceptions when it comes to credit use for newcomers to Canada and Sy clarifies the following:

About Me
Hey. Modeling has been a hobby of mine since I was 15. I feel confident in my ability to pull off many looks and styles, I'm attracted to the strange and weird. If you have any interesting concepts I would love to hear them.
I am very good with make-up and changing how i look. I've got an ever growing wardrobe, with a diverse range of clothes and I love getting dressed up. My hair is blonde, medium length. I also have a black wig made from real hair that comes in handy at shoots too.
I am not here to to look beautiful, I am here because I want to create art.
I would love to hear from you if you are interested in creating something with me.
Thanks =]

There's some New Age-y stuff I'm cool about – fortune telling, astrology and ghost tours. These things can be fun and they're only life-threatening to those on the psychological edge, who take them more seriously than they should.
But there's a whole class of alternative things that are dangerous and here I'm talking particularly about homeopathy. Homeopathy must be the most studied of all alternative medicines and what we know for certain about it is this: it doesn't work. In order to pretend it works, you have to argue for a suspension of the laws of nature.
Today I saw Dana Ullman's post on homeopathy on the Huffington Post which brought back my New Age days in full force. I remember having so many discussions with passionate people which sounded just like this blog. Ullman uses every New Age-y little trick to 'prove' that black is white. If you ever see or hear any of the following, be careful, because somebody wants you to part with either your cash or your brains:
- Name dropping. Specific scientists are quoted and it is always emphasized how well thought of and famous these people are. However, the work of the scientists in question often has no direct bearing on the claim being made.
- Arguments by analogy. This is whereby two things are compared in such a way that they suggest a relationship that does not, in fact, exist. For example, Ullman writes:"It is commonly assumed that homeopathic medicines are composed of extremely small doses of medicinal substances. And yet, does anyone refer to an atomic bomb as an extremely small dose of a bomb? In actual fact, there is a power, a very real power, in having atoms smash against each other."
See what he does there? He creates a chain of logic out of thin air. Some unnamed people assume that homeopathic substances have small doses in them. Atom bombs have small doses in them – of what, he doesn't say, but we can assume he means fissile materials – so therefore homeopathy is as powerful as an atom bomb.
- Appeals to special cases. Because homeopathy has failed every test, its practitioners argue that it can't be tested because of its nature.
Ullman says: "It is important to understand that nanopharmacological doses will not have any effect unless the person is hypersensitive to the specific medicinal substance. Hypersensitivity is created when there is some type of resonance between the medicine and the person. Because the system of homeopathy bases its selection of the medicine on its ability to cause in overdose the similar symptoms that the sick person is experiencing, homeopathy's principle of similars is simply a practical method of finding the substance to which a person is hypersensitive."
Got that? The reason homeopathy fails every test it's put to is because it requires a special, hypersensitive person to make it work. Unlike, say, aspirin, which works on everybody, even if their body mass, age and state of sickness means they may need a different dose.
- Rampant generalizations. 'Tens of millions' of people have found homeopathy effective. 'Groups of scientists' have worked on it, and so on.
Still, just because someone makes an inarticulate argument doesn't mean they're wrong. So ask yourself this question: if you were in a serious car accident, would you prefer to be treated by a homeopath or by an intensive care unit? Funnily enough, when it comes to the crunch, most people choose the intensive care unit.
That's because the consequences of using homeopathy for treating real illnesses is, literally, hideous.
Anyway, all my conversations with my New Age friends on these topics used to end the same way: science doesn't have the answer for everything and one day it will catch up.
What if science already DOES have the answer and you just don't like it? In the case of homeopathy, it definitely does have the answer – homeopathy doesn't work and people who keep peddling this nonsense are charlatans and frauds.
Not convinced by my rave? Read this.

By far, this topic has received the most attention and comments on this blog. Many, if not most, cases of Horner's syndrome are idiopathic, meaning that no discernible causes can be found. Again, Horner's syndrome is not a disease per se, but rather a constellation of clinical signs that make up the syndrome: ptosis (or drooping eyelid), enophthalmos (or sinking in of the eyeball), miosis (constricted pupil), and prolapsed nictitans (presence of 3rd eyelid covering the eyeball more than usual).
When this young Cocker Spaniel was presented to me yesterday for an eye infection, she exhibited all signs of Horner's mentioned above. By default, because she's a Cocker Spaniel, I had a good look deep into her ear canal and lo and behold she had pretty convincing evidence of an ear infection, a ruptured ear drum, and likely a middle ear infection. X-rays of her middle ears were iffy, as they often are (CT is better for these little structures). We sedated her, flushed her ears with saline, cultured the "gunk", and sent her home on topical and oral antibiotics, and analgesics.
In this case, otitis media (an infection of the middle ear) is the likely culprit causing Horner's syndrome.
Not the Cocker Spaniel in question! The affected eye is evident.

The additional detail doesn't change my reply, only confirms that he "can" shoot... I'm not running into the open for certain now... unless/until I have to. Also confirmed that we have <~> the same number of rounds available now... barring reloads.
Long gun is great at distance and more or less stationary targets (unless this guy's an ex-sniper). The closer in he gets... the more exaggerated his barrel swing has to be to stay on a laterally moving target.
The original premise is that I have to engage... I will, but I am trying to make it more on my terms than his.. So, I wait for him to come to me after I have shot at him. For him, this "changes the game." He was not expecting armed resistance.
My original answer stated that: "I can't guarantee a hit from the initial distance from behind cover but I will shoot at him." I can get as "close" as he did when he shot a 3" group into my engine compartment.
He expected me to flee. Instead I shot back... the guy is not tweaked, stoned or drunk: He shot a 3" group.
He now has to decide, with his distance in his favor, whether to engage me... or flee... He is in the wrong... He knows there are many cameras in the Wally World parking lot... especially closer in... He must suspect that the cavalry is on the way.... His best bet (most rational decision) is to go away and hope to fight again another day...
If he does not realize this, and comes towards me... he is coming into the more effective range of my weapon. The odds are better that I will survive based on caliber alone.
He is skilled, he has killed, he has nothing to lose; but this will be his last stand either way... If he had fled, there was an off chance he might never get caught. I will be shot, he will be shot... we may both die.
His disadvantage now lies in his irrational decision to continue the fight with a cornered animal that has the same ability to inflict deadly harm as him... And the more time wasted, the closer the cavlary is...
Out here in the sticks, the cavalry might not be able to ascertain who the bad guy is... But he has more reason to fear them than I do. They may shoot us both, as we are both armed... and I'm NOT giving up my weapon unless I know the shooter has.
So, there, I've thought out your scenario to the last bullet. Can I think all of that quickly on my feet, if it were to really occur? Maybe, maybe not...

Lincoln MKS Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the Lincoln MKS based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Various radio performance concerns may develop including noisy operation, no operation, or SYNC issues. Reprogramming the appropriate module with updated software will commonly correct most of these issues.
A grunting or grinding type noise may be noted from the front brakes. Our technicians tell us the problem is generally caused by the front brake caliper anchor brackets which can cause abnormal brake rotor and pad wear. The repair commonly involves replacing the brake pads and rotors and updating the caliper anchor brackets with revised parts.
A fluid leak may be noted from the axle area. Red fluid is from the transmission. Brown fluid is from the power transfer unit (PTU). Leaks are commonly from the axle seal and/or PTU cover seal. Leaking seals should be replaced as necessary.
The Lincoln MKS with optional automatic temperature control may have a problem with frequent fan speed changes when using the heater or air conditioner. Normally, the fan speed changes only to maintain a selected temperature, but when the fan speed changes frequently and needlessly, there is an issue with the fan speed control unit.
The fan speed control unit, sometimes erroneously called the blower motor resister, regulates the speed for the blower motor in order to maintain the temperature set by the driver. When it fails, the fan will run at random settings, and the climate control will be inaccurate.
Note: this does not affect the temperature of the air that comes from the vents, it affects the amount of air that comes from the vents.
The repair is simple, and quick. The control unit is located behind the glove box in most models, and removal and installation takes only minutes.
Also note: this only applies to vehicles with single or dual automatic climate control.
A popping or squeaking noise my develop from the front wheel area. This can be caused by chafing of the jounce bumper against the strut rod and/or dust boot rubbing on the strut mount cup. Lubricating the bumper, rod, and boot with dielectric will commonly correct this type of noise.
The rear brakes may drag, causing a rhythmic sound. This can be caused by misaligned or corroded brake caliper anchor bolts. Our technicians recommend to replace the brake pads and anchor bolts to correct this concern.
The trunk lid may not latch closed, this is generally caused by the trunk latch sticking in the open position. Our technicians tell us that in most cases the trunk latch assembly will need to be replaced to correct this issue.

Rebel Wilson, Elizabeth Banks, And 13 Other Female 'Scene Stealers' [PHOTOS & VIDEO]
As expected, in most movies, people focus on the main characters. In The Hunger Games, we see people paying attention to Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). What about the supporting characters? Films really would be no where without them.
Sometimes a star comes along with so much of a presence that they're as memorable, (or even more memorable), than the leads. Take Elizabeth Banks who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games for example. Fans constantly talk about her most famous like which was, "That is mahogany!" Just three words have made such an impact on viewers.
Many other supporting stars have had the spotlight directed right onto them. Pitch Perfect hasn't even released yet and everyone is already focused on Rebel Wilson, who plays Amy, better known as "Fat Amy."
Most interviews on talk shows are with her, or not at all. So many hilarious moments within the trailers and other previews include her. Need a little refresher of how amazing she is? Check out the trailer below!
These two lovely ladies aren't the only ones who have made a lasting impression on fans. Browse the gallery to see which other woman have made more of an impact than the leads of the movie they were in.

Sept. 14, 2010
These past four weeks of practice have gone well. We have had some solid workouts and have done enough circuits in the weight room to add a little muscle to our frame. It seems that everyone is glad to be back and training together. The new members of the team are following suit and are just as enthusiastic as the rest of us.
The question was asked ourselves in our first team meeting: Why are we here? Our responses contained the following: because we could not imagine not running, to push ourselves long after we think we can't, to find out what we are made of or maybe it was because we were meant to be here. The point is when we all come together we can do something greater than ourselves. We say yes to infinite possibilities for this season.
This week we are headed to Appalachian State in Boone, N.C. for our first race combined with team camp. This will provide opportunities to bond, time to recall old memories and experience new ones. When I think about this season I can't help but smile because of the things we desire to accomplish. Thank you fans for your continual support, encouragement and words of affirmation. We look forward to seeing all of you at our two "home meets" at Veterans Park, the Southeast XC Showdown (October 9th) and the NCAA South Regional (November 13th). As a senior, the program has afforded me the opportunity to see and experience many new places. However, it is not solely the geographical location; rather it is the competitions and relationships that have enhanced my experiences at UAB.

Lollapalooza is an annual music festival held in Chicago that features genres from heavy metal to hip-hop and hosts more than 160,000 people each year. Q101 were backstage during the three-day music festival to chat to the bands and let the listeners hear how the gig went from their favourite artists. This interview with Bat for Lashes was from Lollapalooza 2009; click here to see stories, highlights and the line up. This is a must go to music festival and in the past has seen Muse, Arcade Fire and Rage Against The Machine all enter the stage. To find out more about Lollapalooza 2014 you can check out the website, Twitter or Facebook page.
Tim Virgin managed to grab Natasha Khan back stage; the singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who is predominantly known for her stage name; Bat for Lashes. The day of her gig reached 90 degrees and despite feeling like she was going to pass out after the performance, she was more than happy to have a chat to Q101 straight after the gig. Tim and Natasha begin by chatting about the differences between the music scene in America and the UK. Many bands started off "over the pond" before hitting America such as the Kings of Leon; the band that Tim would describe as white trash in most peoples opinion, Natasha describes as cool and romantic from a British point of view. Amongst the conversation about "chip butties", cockney accents and shooting dears, Tim asks whether Natasha found it difficult breaking through to people here, as the scene is more "rocky" as he describes it. "Audiences here are amazing" was the response from Natasha but with her charming, down to earth personality I can't imagine it being difficult to get through to her American audience. She explains that the audience at Chicago's Lollapalooza were singing along throughout the gig, except during the quiet songs where she describes the audience as "sweet" as they listened silently.
When this interview took place Bat for Lashes had released two albums; Fur and Gold and Two Suns, both receiving Mercury Prize nominations. Since then the band have released The Haunted Man in 2012, which hit the charts in fifteen countries. Natasha discusses the album Two Suns, which was inspired whilst living in Brooklyn, New York. During the evening, she would dress up as a character called "Pearl" and take pictures, make films and draw sketches. She describes her alter ego Pearl, as more of an art project; it was all about getting into the headspace of a 'New Yorker'. This explains all of the American themes and landscapes that are referenced within the album.
Despite being inspired to write a whole album due her experiences in New York, Natasha illuminates that she will always love her cup of tea and rain in England. The singer-songwriter lives in Brighton which she she describes as "London on sea" with its ocean, cool music and art scene. Although she loves America, she will always prefer to live in the outskirts of London. All of Q101's coverage can be found on our YouTube channel, check it out for more interviews, performances and Q101 events.

Can you beat my high mileage?
August 29, 2011 5 Comments
Like most Americans my budget is tight so for now upgrading to a newer vehicle is out of the question.
I drive a Dodge Dakota pickup, it's 13-years-old and looks like it. The V6 engine overheats from time to time and the air conditioner no longer works but other than that it runs great.
I purchased my Dodge used with just over 40,000 miles on it in 2000. Now 11 years later my truck has 251,492 miles on the odometer.
I do not have any plans currently to replace my truck. I use it as my primary vehicle to get to and from work. Besides my wife's car is newer, has a working air conditioner and we use hers as the family car.
Are you driving an older vehicle with high mileage?
Is your vehicles mileage higher than mine?
Leave me a comment with the make, model, year and of course the mileage and lets see who has the highest.

We Saw Your Hypocrisy: Seth MacFarlane, Hollywood, and the Liberal Media

Seth McFarlane Goes Feature-Length with 'Ted'

Before I tell you what I would want for the parts I suggest that you contact your local BMW parts department and get the prices, a) the transmission pan b) mech sleeve c) some spare bolts ( you may need to mod these if you have the smaller headed bolts which is 24 bolts) d) 6 ltrs of transmission oil. Then when you have an idea you will hopefully appreciate what I would like to get for them and believe me it will be a good price. There are some really good threads on the E60 forum on how to change the oil, plus one or two on YOUTUBE.
You can buy aftermarket parts but they are definitely not the same quality.
PS I have some beige mats and a nearside front brake calliper which I replaced all of the bushes, pig of a job but done and ready to fit to another car, forgotten what other bits unless I go and do a walk around my garage lol
Oh! That's quite surprising! I thought it was either my gearbox was faulty or I was imagining things! The reason why I was so confused is because I used to own a 330ci with an auto box and it NEVER rolled back no matter how steep the hill was, it always held the car in place or rolled forward if it was downhill.
Your E Class sounds like a very nice car, I love them!!
Thank you mate, I will have a look at prices etc
I'm guessing you know your way around cars quite well? Did you do a lot of the work yourself?

Todd Steury, Associate Professor in Auburn University's School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, has received an $85,287 grant from the State of Alabama for his project, "Estimated population size of black bears in Alabama." The project will use hair snares to survey for black bears in and around Mobile County in the south and the Little River National Preserve in northeast Alabama.
According to Steury, black bears in Alabama belong to two subspecies, the eastern black bear and Florida black bear. There is a long-standing but small population of Florida black bears in southern Alabama near Mobile, and reports of new sightings of eastern black bears previously wiped out from northeastern Alabama. This project aims to find out just how many bears exist in the Mobile population through DNA analysis. This analysis could also help them learn other things about these southern Alabama bears – whether there is significant inbreeding, for example. They also hope to find out for certain whether bears have re-populated the northeastern corner of the state, or the sightings have been from a transient population.
The hair snares snag bits of hair and along with it, DNA, as the bears head toward Caven's Hiawatha Valley Predator Bait and jam at a bait station. These snares will be laid out at random points within a sampling grid with 8 km square cells, based on the average home range of male black bears. Because bears roam widely in the fall, preparing for winter hibernation, the researchers hope to come close to snagging DNA the entire male black bear populations in the two survey areas.
"Biodiversity loss is one of the greatest current threats to the environment," says Steury, "and also has varied consequences for human well-being." Large carnivores like black bears are particularly important because of the many biological, political, social, and economic roles they can play. For instance, because they are larger they can often be more sensitive to habitat loss and can serve as a warning sign for habitat threats to other species. Their loss can often mean cascading effects through the ecosystem, and protecting them can also protect smaller species. They are also quick to catch public interest.
"Knowing exactly how many individual black bears exist in the core of population is critical to understanding how great the risk of elimination is in that population and how to manage that risk," Steury says. "In addition, knowing how many individual black bears exist in northeast Alabama, and whether they are settled in the area or transient will help to determine if bears have repatriated that portion of the state. This will be crucial for planning how to manage bears in northeast Alabama."

|Former name(s)

The Surprise Fightin' Falcons are an inactive professional baseball team based in Surprise, Arizona. They played in the Arizona Division of the independent Golden Baseball League, which is not affiliated with either Major League Baseball or Minor League Baseball. They played their homes games at the Surprise Recreation Campus athletic facility, which includes a spring training ballpark called Surprise Stadium.
The Fightin' Falcons started as one of eight charter teams in the GBL along with the Chico Outlaws, Fullerton Flyers, Long Beach Armada and San Diego Surf Dawgs in California, the Mesa Miners and Yuma Scorpions in Arizona and a traveling team, the Japan Samurai Bears that began play in May 2005. The league owns the naming rights to the team as well as the other seven original teams. In their only season, they finished 3rd in the Arizona Division with a 46-44 record. The team included the league's first ever MVP, Desi Wilson, who during the year had a league record 30-game hitting streak. Outfielder Billy Brown hit a team high 14 home runs and won a gold glove. The team was managed by Ozzie Virgil, Jr. and their mascot was Luke the Falcon.
The team, which played for one season, was based in the Arizona Division. Following the league suspending operations and relocation of the Miners in November 2005, the Fightin' Falcons were also dropped from the league partially to achieve a balance of six clubs instead of seven also because of no other teams being based in central Arizona, and the fact that game attendance averaged about 60 spectators per game, and extreme lack of team support.
The GBL has stated publicly that they would reconsider the Arizona market (Surprise and Mesa) if the league, the city of Mesa and the concessionaire at HoHoKam Park in Mesa could reach agreement on a revenue sharing agreement for concessions sales at Miners games. The Miners were the only team in the league not to receive any funds from concessions sales at their games.
Should the Fightin' Falcons return to the league (which owns the rights to the team), they could be brought back as either an expansion or relocated team and there could be a push to have the team play at Surprise Stadium, the spring training home of the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers and home of the Arizona Fall League's Surprise Rafters. That stadium is on the grounds of the Recreation Campus. But nothing is definitive. If not, the team name could be placed with an expansion team elsewhere.
The team cap logo and colors were being used by the Sonora Pilots of the Arizona Winter League, the GBL's instructional league. That team has since been replaced by Team Canada.[1][2] The GBL owns the rights to the name, logos, uniforms and history of the Falcons.

text: Oct 02, 2012 - This has to be the worst product ever for my cowash. It has no slip for my hair and if you think about it castor oil is used as a sealant not in my washing process. That explains why it my stands would stick together and the texture of it was not smooth combined with the water. I have a jar of this mess at home that i will never touch again. I attempted two times, but I'm officially canceling this one out. Nice fancy looking jar....horrible ingredient combination

Look Ma, no spare...
With all the comments about the spare tire and the cheap steal rim instead of a matching rim...thought I'd post this article:
Re: Look Ma, no spare...
Some process consultant got paid to drive that $4.4M cost savings to Hyundai, while how many motorists will be stranded as a result. Shortsighted move on automaker's part. My 335 didn't have one either.
Re: Look Ma, no spare...
Didn't have one in my last vehicle, (Chevy Tahoe Hybrid). It had GM's version of "fix-a-flat" combined with a compressor. Had a flat, fixed it with their kit and subsequently ruined the tire. The service manager at the previous dealer told me that I shouldn't have used the stuff to fill up the tire and that it voided the warranty on the tire. (it wasn't covered by the factory warranty) Needless to say, I was not happy about it. But, no more worries since I have an actual spare now, and have a Jeep.
Re: Look Ma, no spare...
I recently bought a 2011 Grand Cherokee Limited and it had the compact spare tire. One of the first things I did was to order another matching rim and tire. If you put a matching full size rim/tire in the spare compartment, it will fit just fine as long as you place it in there wheel face up. And the floor door closes perfectly. To secure the tire, just use a tie-down elastic strap to secure it to the bolt below. :thumbsup:
Re: Look Ma, no spare...
I wish it wasn't the case but the option of having a full size spare and matching rim is a) already not available or b) soon to be history. It is not only attributed to cost savings but maximizing available space. In addition, I suspect the average driver couldn't change a flat tire.
I suspect a few other car options that will be phased out include the dipstick, manual transmission and large displacement engines (gotta love CAFE requirements).

BTW, nice car (S4). I almost bought one a few week ago with the prestige pkg and DSG. I just need the rear space to accommodate two dogs. Audi does build some nice vehicles.

This week and next, I'm super pleased to welcome guest blogger CHERYL BOLEN.
In addition to being extraordinarily active in two Houston-area chapters of Romance Writers of America, Cheryl is the acclaimed author of eight Regency-set historical novels published by Harlequin Historical and Zebra. Her books have placed in several writing contests, including the Daphne du Maurier, and have been translated into 11 languages. She was named Notable New Author in 1999, and in 2006 she won the Holt Medallion for Best Historical Novel.
CHERYL BOLEN's Regency-based romances are filled with the everyday details that immerse the reader in her world. Regency readers are very picky; they know their period and don't hesitate to let authors know if they've gotten the costumes, the food, or the cussing wrong. As a reader, Cheryl has loved the period and its major chroniclers for a long time. As a dedicated writer, she's researched her world thoroughly. Now her readers – and her awards – say she's got it just right!
And now, as promised, CHERYL BOLEN discusses courtship, both royal and common, during the Regency period. Next Monday, she'll conclude with details of Regency weddings. Enjoy!
Courting and Marriage in the Regency
by Cheryl Bolen
Engagements and marriages in the Regency were so vastly different than they are today that when an author "modernizes" these customs, it makes her book a wallbanger (as in throwing at the wall) to me.
The Regency was not the era of arranged marriages, unless these pertained to members of the Royal Family. However, royals whose marriages were arranged—as was the Prince Regent's— participated in the selection and rejection of proposed suitors. English royals typically married those born to other Protestant European royal families.
In the Regent's case, he had never met the cousin he wed until the actual wedding ceremony. He was not happy when he saw her. He turned to the peer who had brought her from Germany and said, "Harris, I am not well; pray get me a glass of brandy."
Love matches were definitely the norm in the Regency but were not the same as today's. A significant difference in so-called love matches was that the upper class had to pick potential spouses from a select pool. Aristocrats wed other aristocrats or persons who shared their social sphere.
A title holder could (but rarely did) marry beneath him. In 1812 the lecherous 42-year-old Lord Berwick married the 15-year-old courtesan who was sister to the famed courtesan Harriette Wilson. And the Duke of St. Albans married a former actress in 1827. Younger aristocratic sons, however, could be cut off completely if they married a woman from the lower classes.
Genteel young ladies almost never engaged in premarital sex. They were shielded from sex and not permitted to be alone with gentlemen. Even Lady Caroline Lamb, who later became famous for her adultery with Lord Byron (and others), was a complete innocent when she married William Lamb (later Prime Minister Lord Melbourne) at age 19. She was shocked and unhappy over the action that robbed her virginity, and it took her some time to recover.
Marrying Relatives
It was also extremely common to marry first cousins. When Lady Caroline Ponsonby fell in love with William Lamb and agreed to marry him, it caused much consternation in her mother's family. Her first cousin, who would become the 6th Duke of Devonshire, became hysterical when he learned Caroline would marry because he had always thought to marry her himself, even though she was four years his senior. And her uncle, Earl Spencer, was furious because he'd always wanted Caroline to wed his heir.
Slightly later than the Regency, Queen Victoria married her first cousin. The Regent's daughter had wed the brother of Queen Victoria's mother.
In some quarters, uncles could even wed their nieces. In 1824, the powerful banking magnate James Rothschild, age 32, married the 19-year-old daughter of his brother. This may have been practiced only within the Jewish faith.
It was unlawful in England for a woman to marry her deceased husband's brother, or for a man to marry his diseased wife's sister.
So-Called Love
Sheltered young brides-to-be from Britain's "Upper Ten Thousand" often thought themselves in love with gentlemen they scarcely knew. Men, too, were known to become besotted over ladies with whom they had barely spoken.
Since there was little opportunity for intimacies, these lovelorn couples had to proclaim their marital intentions before being accorded the opportunity to initiate any intimacies.
A gentleman would lose his honor were he to "cry off" a prospective marriage. A man's honor, in those days, was valued above everything—even happiness.
The Duke of Wellington suffered a miserable marriage to a woman he loathed rather than cry off. Arthur Wellesley (later Wellington), a career soldier, had little exposure to well-born ladies. When he met Kitty Packenham he immediately fancied himself in love with the 27-year-old. But since he was a younger son with no financial prospects, her parents would not consent to the marriage.
In the next ten years he made a fortune while soldiering in India, and his continued interest in Miss Packenham (whom he had not seen) was communicated to her. Her family then deemed him acceptable for their now 37-year-old maiden daughter. He, therefore, fled to her but was repulsed at what he saw. "She has grown ugly, by Jove!" he announced to his brother, but he was honor bound to marry her. Once they were wed, he came to know that she was also stupid and irritating to be around.
One man who did cry off was wealthy gentleman land owner Edward Turner, who jilted one of the most widely read authors in the Regency, Hannah More (1745-1833). Interestingly, neither of them ever married, and he always revered her. He just had a deep aversion to marriage. As was a custom of the day, Turner bestowed on More "pecuniary heart balm" in the form of a £200 annuity (roughly equivalent to $60,000 in today's dollars) she would receive for the rest of her life.
Did a gentleman declare himself to the lady first or to her father? Sometimes a gentleman asked a maiden's father for permission to court the daughter; sometimes the gentlemen declared himself first to the girl, then upon receiving encouragement, would seek out the father.
Once consent was reached and the father involved, the legal documents would be drawn. Most often the girl would bring a dowry. The 5th Duke of Devonshire, one of the richest men in the kingdom, bestowed an enormous dowry of £30,000 on his eldest legitimate daughter and the same sum on his illegitimate daughter but only £10,000 to his second legitimate daughter. (When her brother succeeded, he gave her £20,000 more to make amends for their father's slight.) Lord Byron received a marriage settlement of £20,000 from the parents of Annabella Milbanke, who wasn't as much of an heiress as he needed to wed. His lavish lifestyle had put him in debt more than £20,000—which is almost $6 million today.
The marriage agreements would also specify how much "pin money" the bride would receive annually from her husband. In Lady Caroline Ponsonby's case, the Melbournes agreed to give their son's wife £400 a year.
Provisions in the marriage contract would also be made for the wife in the event of her husband's death.
Regency brides did not receive engagement rings.
Once the settlements were reached, the bride and her mother would busy themselves purchasing a trousseau. It was customary to send off a daughter with new clothing, gloves, shoes, and other items of apparel (more on wedding wear later).
I have never seen an example of an official engagement or wedding announcement in an extant newspaper, but it's possible they may have appeared. Certainly, rumors of nuptials would be printed as well as caricatured in the press. (And many of us Regency writers have certainly used the device of bridal announcements in newspapers.)
The Church of England required the reading of marriage banns for three consecutive Sundays, but this could be circumvented by getting a special license from the Archbishop of Canterbury, a procedure which men of means usually followed. This could be obtained at some considerable expense at the archbishop's office in Doctors' Commons in London.
Compared to engagements of today, Regency engagements were typically quite short. Often, a wedding would take place within a month of the couple's initial declaration.

He is a well-respected man about town--the president of the Ocala Downtown Business Alliance and a business owner--but deputies say it was his after-hours activities that landed him behind bars.
According to deputies, 53-year-old Michael Franco sexually abused two teenagers, the first beginning 13 years ago.
That accuser is now 27, but her 15-year-old sister says Franco also abused her beginning in September of 2008.
Deputies say Franco would meet them somewhere, and then take them to his business called "Appraisal Specialists" on Magnolia Street Downtown, where they would have sex.
Some of those who know Franco are shocked.
Judy Havican, better known as Ocala's Hot Dog Lady says,
"I can't believe it, I just could not believe it, there's got to be more to that story."
According to a sheriff's office report, this isn't Franco's first arrest. He's been arrested for prostitution, indecent exposure and has a history of lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor.
Franco declined an interview with TV 20.

How much should a 4 month puppy eat?
I have 2 littermate puppies, 4 month old. They have been on a raw diet since they were 4 weeks old.
I feed around 2.5lbs daily (each puppy) divided into 3 meals.
Does that sound enough? I ask cause they never seem to think it is enough, always want more.
The boy weighs 55lbs, girl weighs 46lbs.
Plus, which meal do you recommend should be the biggest? Lunch is their biggest.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App

I think that's more than enough. It should be 2-3% of their IDEAL weight (at least that's what I've read and that's what I go by).
I don't think it matters which meal is biggest.
Extra weight is not good for them.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Yes, it sounds like it would be enough - but go according to your dogs' condition. If they seem too thin, feed a bit more. If they seem too rolly-polly, feed a bit less.
Hard to tell with puppies, because they can go through a growth spurt where they shoot up, and appear too ribby as all their energy is going into growing - feed a bit more at those times until they seem to balance out, then cut down to their previous amounts.
And each dog/puppy is different - some will do well with less food, and some will need to be fed more in order to stay in good condition, so dog go strictly by set amounts, use your judgement on a case-by-case basis.

This book is for anyone who wants to support computer peripherals under the Linux operating system or who wants to develop new hardware and run it under Linux. Linux is the fastest-growing segment of the UNIX market and is winning over enthusiastic adherents in many application areas. This book reveals information that heretofore has been passed by word-of-mouth or in cryptic source code comments, showing how to write a driver for a wide range of devices.You don't have to be a kernel hacker to understand and enjoy this book; all you need is an understanding of C and some background in UNIX system calls. Drivers for character devices, block devices, and network interfaces are all described in step-by-step form and are illustrated with full-featured examples that show driver design issues, which can be executed without special hardware.For those who are curious about how an operating system does its job, this book provides insights into address spaces, asynchronous events, and I/O.Portability is a major concern in the text. The book is centered on version 2.0, but also covers 1.2.13 and experimental versions up to 2.1.43. You are also told how to maximize portability among hardware platforms.Contents include:
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The image on the cover of Linux Device Drivers is of a bucking horse. A vivid description of this phenomenon is given in Marvels of the New West: A Vivid Portrayal of the Stupendous Marvels in the Vast Wonderland West of the Missouri River, by William Thayer (The Henry Bill Publishing Co., Norwich, CT, 1888). Thayer quotes a stockman who gives this description of a bucking horse: When a horse bucks he puts his head down between his legs, arches his back like an angry cat, and springs into the air with all his legs at once, coming down again with a frightful jar, and he sometimes keeps on repeating the performance until he is completely worn out with the excursion. The rider is apt to feel rather worn out too by that time, if he has kept his seat, which is not a very easy matter, especially if the horse is a real scientific bucker, and puts a kind of side action into every jump. The double girth commonly attached to these Mexican saddles is useful for keeping the saddle in its place during one of those bouts, but there is no doubt that they frequently make a horse buck who would not do so with a single girth. With some animals you can never draw up the flank girth without setting them bucking. The cover layout was produced with Quark XPress 3.3 and Adobe Photoshop 2.5 software, using the ITC Garamond Condensed font.The interior layouts were designed by Edie Freedman and Jennifer Niederst, with modifications by Nancy Priest and Mary Jane Walsh. Chapter opening graphics are from the Dover Pictorial Archive and Marvels of the New West. Interior fonts are Adobe ITC Garamond and Adobe Courier. Text was prepared in SGML using the DocBook 2.1 DTD. The print version of this book was created by translating the SGML source into a set of gtroff macros using a filter developed at ORA by Norman Walsh. Steve Talbott designed and wrote the underlying macro set on the basis of the GNU gtroff -gs macros; Lenny Muellner adapted them to SGML and implemented the book design. The GNU groff text formatter version 1.09 was used to generate PostScript output. The illustrations that appear in the book were created in Macromedia Freehand 5.0 by Chris Reilley.

Linux Device Drivers Review
By Han Kim
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Linux Device Drivers:
I liked the book and it presented a useful model of the Linux Kernelwell.As many others have pointed out, there have been many changes to the Kernel versions after 2.1 and the book's source code examples aremostly for version 2.0. If you are using this book with a 2.2 or later kernel (Redhat's version 7 binary is version 2.2 and the source is 2.4), be sure toread "Chapter 17 Recent Development's" BEFORE you try the codeexamples in Chapter 2. It will save you alot of time trying tofind the 2.0 kernel features such as the symtab_begin.h and symtab_end.hheader files.

Shame on you for selling such an outdated book!Being new to Linux kernel programming, I didn't realize how useless it really was until I got it home. Also, the continuity between the examples and the text are not up to the typical O'Reilly standards. May have been a good book a long time ago.

Nice book, very usefull for a lot of info but I still miss info on usefull toolkits like Jungo's WinDriver.(jungo.com)
By stephen forster
A superb book back in 1998 and worthy of a 'Definitive' back then, though two kernel versions later, it really does need replacing. Now that the 2.4 kernel has arrived, I would wait for the second edition to come out before parting with my money.It isn't fair on the customer selling this book ( however good it was in its day ) when the second edition is about to make its debut. That's why I can only give this book an average rating.
By Matt Benjamin
I just finished my second, more careful reading of Linux Device Drivers. (I read it originally in 1998, shortly after it appeared.)I found the book even more rewarding the second time through, and although I think it is time for an updated edition covering 2.2 and 2.4 kernels,I thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in kernel development, not merely in hardware device drivers.Again, I'd like to see a 2nd edition. Thanks, in this regard, for publishing examples updated for Linux 2.4.

An excellent book on the internals of the Linux kernel, and very nice for looking up stuff while writing a driver. Unfortunantly the coverage of 2.2 kernels only scratches the surface (first edition only covers up to 2.1.43). But grepping the kernel sources provide a lot of nice

Personally, one of the problems with Linux is the absence of proper documentation. I guess that this is partly caused by the fact that developers consider the source to be the ultimate documentation. Although there is nothing wrong with that point of view, it does complicate the learning curve and development time.As the Linux kernel source is huge, writing modules and drivers is a long and tedious job, especially if it is your first. Eventually you will pull the old 'copy-modify-and-paste

Group visits
Group visits are available for all kinds of visitors, both inside and outside of the museum. Educational resources such as Scavenger hunts, free Wild Nature fature learning activities and on-line information pages help you plan your visit.
Research at the museum is focused on evolution, from working out the details of the 3,5 billion year history of life on the planet to examining how creatures and systems are changing today. The researchers of the museum can be found on the staff page and their findings can be found both on their individual staff pages and in the publications section of the site.
Courses taught at the Museum
Museum courses include Science and Museums, which focuses on the history of research and management of natural history collections. Museum staff teach courses in several departments such as Biology or the School of the Environment, or Anthropology, and yet more courses are taught in the museum by videoconference from the Department of Natural Resource Sciences at Macdonald College.
At the graduate level, students wanting to study biosystematics and evolutionary biology can find several supervisors working on a variety of topics. Students from other, related departments can also be supported by the museum.
