The last few weeks of been tough as I faced one of the most difficult professional decisions I've ever had to make. I don't know why this decision was so extremely challenging for me, but it was.
Eight weeks ago I got a very special student. He immediately stole my heart and I knew he was going to need a lot of extra love. I gave him all I had, but I eventually realized that even that was not enough in my current classroom setting. As a team we decided that he was better suited for another program on another campus. I know it was what was best, but goodbyes are difficult for me and my students mean absolutely everything to me.
Today we celebrated my friends last day in class with us. We celebrated his successes and all of the accomplishments and progress he's made in two short months. Still my heart was heavy that I wouldn't see him every day. I had to trust that the next teacher will speak life into him and love him through his conflicts as our team did.
Today at gathering Circle the children were asked to share something they were thankful for and his first response was "Ms. C". I knew even for a brief time, his life was impacted by my dedication, and my life was impacted by his courage. He then looked up at me and said "Ms. C did you know that God is my father? That means that you are my sister and your son is my brother".
In that moment God used my first grader to remind me that I was not handing him over to a system or program. I was handing him over to God. I also knew that God was going to take great care of this little boy who will forever have a place in my heart! #room28

text: It is simply amazing. I'm just sitting here shaking my head utterly dumbfounded. 1. Katie manages to get hud by them not accepting M. 2. Katie manages to get her rent/deposit paid by someone. (who knows who) 3. If katie wants.....M has been basically "removed" from her life via circumstance that gives her a free ride to do so with little or no confrontation as it's not "her fault" but hud's that he can't live with them or visit them. 4. Due to number 3, katie will get child support paid for the kids because it is required of separated parents when parent with the kids is using welfare. Again not "katie's fault"....so no confrontation probably with M over having to support his kids. So katie just gets the cash. Which also doesn't count as income for hud apartments so her rent will not go up due to it. 5. The school and the shelter are going out of their way to get her as much household items as possible before she moves. And the one that kicked my temper into high gear the moment husband laid it on me as my foot hit the bottom step, before that first cup of coffee, before the first cigarette, still swollen struggling to breathe due to water retention, cold turkey from bed: 6. Alex's disability has been approved adding at least nearly 700.00 per month to her income. Unbelievable. Alex's fate is now sealed except for any help he gets at school because there is no way katie is going to do anything that might help his condition to improve thereby jeopardizing her monthly check. Evan's fate is now also sealed as she now has no motivation whatsoever to help him catch up to his peers, in fact the opposite is true. The worse he is, the higher the chance of him also getting disability. Why doesn't the govt just hand katie a lamented card that declares she never is required to work a day in her life for anything? Then at least anyone who comes into contact with her will know straight up what they're up against. Normal people spend years and endure endless doctor appoints, evaluations, and tests to get disability. All katie has to do is abuse and neglect her kids......let the school do a simple evaluation because she's too lazy to take them to a doctor.......and file for disability......and poof! she's got a monthly check. Pardon me while I empty my stomach. Gags me, really it does. I've since let go of the anger. Does no good.......and Nichole let me talk through it.....and together we managed to scrape up some "good" reasons for life to be handed to katie. The anger had nothing to do with whether or not Alex deserves disability because he does......and it will help him in the future as well if he needs it. It's the "let's just hand the girl yet another reason not to function as an adult" thing that sticks in my craw. Because between child support (and he'll pay at least 50 bucks per kid, is what he paid last time) and disability........and if you count in the dollar value of the food stamps........the girl is going to be living more than comfortably. Other than rent, she has no bills. Her cell phone is even free. The "good" thing Nichole and I managed to drag up about this............Is that for once katie has the means to be financially independent of M with no worries of even having to work for a living. So maybe she'll finally kick him to the curb. I mean life certainly could NOT have set it up for her to do so any better than it has done. Of course what we believe will happen? M starts hassling katie about hud not accepting him, that disability check looks big and fat to them.....she either gets evicted or skips out on the hud apartment, rents some dive.......and the scenerio of a decade ago happens all over again. And the topper to all this??? Alex's special award ceremony for Disabled Student of the Year is thursday. The whole family was going to turn out for him to show him how proud we are of him for working so hard. Katie told husband this morning that tickets to the ceremony are 5 bucks each. Guess what? I can't afford the 10 bucks to go.........seems I guess I'm just not difficult child enough. blah And then??? Katie asks husband if we would please drive her 40 miles to go sign the disability paperwork so she can get her check. FRS won't drive her, it's not a doctor appoint or work related. Us? I had easy child call me because she spotted gas 20 cents a gallon cheaper at a nearby station and got word that it's going up in town to 3.90 by the end of the weekend.........so I dug into my stash of babysitting cash I've been hoarding to hopefully get it to reproduce and gave him the money to fill both our tanks. Anywhere within walking distance.......we walk. Walking distance = 5 miles (until we're in better shape) But she needs us to drive her 40 miles one way to sign a paper. omg Blows my mind. Once katie is situated in the apartment with the two incomes and food stamps......she will at that point be in better shape than husband and I money wise.

TDK Corporation has started mass production of a newly developed see-through passive matrix type QVGA organic EL display (product name: UEL476) from this Spring, a world's first.
Passive. I haven't heard much about passive matrix anything these days but maybe the technology has improved so flicker is no longer an issue when quickly updating content on the display.
The newly developed see-through type is mainly intended for use as the main display panel in mobile phones and other mobile devices.
I can see the benefits of a transparent display. For instance the act of overlaying augmented reality-based information right on top of what you're looking at from the transparent display would be very cool. Another benefit: a direct touch-based viewfinder for photography.
The see-through type organic EL display for mobile applications has a field angle of 2.4 inches, transmittance of 40 percent, and brightness of 150 cd/m2.
Field angle? I'm not certain what that is but the size of 2.4 inches seems to indicate the diagonal display size, which is good enough for most feature phones and clamshell-type smartphones.
The use of the color filter principle means that the service life of the each Red, Green and Blue color of RGB elements is identical, and color shift is absent.
My guess is that white OLEDs are being used in conjunction with a RGB filter. Naturally, differential aging where the blue dies off more quickly than the other two (red, green) won't be an issue. Excellent viewing angles are expected from an OLED-based display.

Katy Perry has spoken up about her breakup with Orlando Bloom, saying that neither of them is the "victim" or the "villain". People quoted "a source close to Bloom" who claims that he never envisioned a long-term relationship: "Orlando didn't want things to get more serious," the source tells People. "Lately he acted like he had one foot out the door and Katy picked up on that."
In another People story, a "Perry source" backs up that assessment, and insists that Perry felt the same way. "It was never really supposed to be serious between them," the source claims. However, it "just became more and more work to make it work. Because this wasn't something permanent, it just became time to take a break."
But then Katy went and did what most women do after a breakup: got a new hairstyle. What do you think of her short new 'do?

What is a weed?
Back when I was a little girl, a weed was anything that my grandma didn't want growing in her lawn- and I got $5/hr to remove them!
These days, my definition of a weed is, well, shrinking. What were formally, most certainly weeds, I have come to discover are in fact, quite edible. In fact a weed is really just a plant that is undesirable in a certain situation. mint, for example, is super invasive, but if you go to Whole Foods you'll find it selling for $5 a bunch! Weeds aren't the problem, but its what we do with them that makes them a problem or not. When I was in the Seattle area, I noticed there were wild blackberry bushes growing everywhere! I thought, 'how amazing! These people have access to wild blackberries throughout the entire season!' Come to find out that these wild blackberry bushes grow quite quickly and some even find them to be rather invasive. In a way, they are also a type of weed, uninvited and very presumptuous (for a plant).
So as a reminder to myself, and as a favor to anyone who is in fact still reading these words, I have decided to list a few of the California native 'weeds' that are edible. Forget salad bars, lets start foraging!
Here's a pretty illustration of some of the common edible weeds that are found in Southern California.
This is mallow. Mallow is EVERYWHERE right now, including the farm. Mallow can be used as a mild laxative, diuretic, anti-inflammatory that helps clear mucus from the body. You can eat the leaves and the stems. IT has beneficial polysaccharide and antioxidant compounds that include phenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, tocopherols and ALA fatty acids. So if you are suffered get from gut issues or want to help control your inflammation, this might not be a bad (and free) option to try!
Lambsquarter is a mineral rich 'weed'. Even the dust on the leaves is full of mineral salts from the soil. About one cup of its greens contain 73% of your daily Vitamin A and 96% of your daily vitamin C. It contains B vitamins including thiamine, riboflavin and niacin. This plant is best eaten when the leaves are young, and you can thrown them in a salad just like you would spinach.
Ah Stinging nettle…friend or foe I still don't know. However, it is an edible plan and is often used to make medicinal tea. It's an antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiulcer, astringent and analgesic. Today it is mainly used to treat urinary problems, allergies and joint pain. You can make a tea from the leaves, or sautéed them. Some people make tinctures out of them or even create tablets or capsules to sell.
These are only a few here that I have seen the most throughout the farm.
Hey, thanks, Tammy, for this great info on WEEDS!
I love edible weeds and have eaten several types. Thanks for capsulizing your descriptions of these weeds. I like reading but love it when writers get to the point quickly 😉
I'm going to save your post for future reference when I go foraging in my yard 🙂
Mallow IS EVERYWHERE! I did not know that's what that "weed" looks like so, thanks for sharing! Mallow extract is sold in health food stores and can be found in tincture and stomach formulas as well. How exciting to see it everywhere now that you have opened my eyes to be able to identify it. Thanks!

It's a gift for their anniversary which was in April, but I'm going to see them soon and will be able to give it to them in person!

- 88 years old
- Date of birth: Jan 29, 1926
- Place of birth:
Kansas City, Missouri, United States
- Date of passing: Oct 6, 2014
- Place of passing:
Seal Beach, California, United States
|This time next week, we'll be worried about something else. Mom
Mom passed away in the late morning of October 6th, 2014. She was 88 years old. Born Mary Elizabeth Bauer on January 29th, 1926 in Kansas City, Missouri, mom was the youngest child of Edna "Nee Nee" Bauer and Seymour Clarence Bauer. She was raised in Kansas City along with her older sister and brother, Martha and John.
Toward the end of the Second World War, a childhood friend of mom's brother came to visit the Bauer Family. Joseph Michael ("Mike") Casey had just returned from combat duty in The Pacific. Mike Casey was a corpsman (medic) with the Marines. He participated in some of the first major combat action of the war, including operations at New Guinea, Guadalcanal, and Tarawa. He was 18 years old.
It was during his visit with the Bauer family that Mike would take notice of John's "little sister," Mary, who was now a young woman. A short time later, our mom and dad were married. They eventually settled in Southern California.
During their years together, mom and dad would have six children. They would experience the tragic loss of one child, Timothy Sean Casey, who passed away in 1971 at the age of 11. Mom and Dad would live to see the rest of their children grow to adulthood. They would eventually become grandparents to 12 grandchildren and 18+ great grandchildren. Sadly, however, Mom would live to endure the loss of two grandchildren: Shawna Maureen Riddell, daughter of her third child, Maureen, and Dylan Michael Casey, child of her first son Kevin and his wife Jan.
In December 1992, our dad, Joseph Michael Casey passed away. He was 68 years old. Mom and dad had been married 48 years.
They are both loved and greatly missed.
"You will always be the best person that I have ever known. Thank you for always making me feel special no matter what..I miss you"
"Has it really been two years already? Until we are reunited I will always remember my sweet loving Momma. I miss you so much! I wonder if they will allow me to bring a big "Whopper Burger" to you in Heaven...
So many precious memories of you."
"Finally able to cry, not because I am sad, but happy. Happy that they are finally reunited. I can't imagine going 20 years without my Anna with me. I love and miss them both very much but I know I'll see them again someday. I love you mamaw and papaw!!!"
"Thank's for posting this, very informative as we all remember Mary and how she touched our lives. Glad for the few times I did get to spend with her in my childhood.
Love Ya!
Kevin Michael Casey
Oldest of Michael Joseph Casey
now Residing in Calhoun, GA."

"My mom was so kind to everyone. One night as a teenager I was out when my best friend came looking for me because she had just had a fight with her boyfriend. Mom saw how upset she was so she brought her in and sat her down to a big plate of spaghetti and chatted with her about her boy troubles. It was just one of many times when my friends would say, "Your mom is so cute, so sweet". And she was.
I love you mom."
"In my travels across this big old wide world, meeting just about every sort humanity has to offer, I've never known a sweeter soul. You taught me how to be forgiving and kind and to find a way to laugh even though the world seems to be crumbling all around. Our time apart will be short in the grand scheme of things. But will seem so very, very long. I know that because of God's promise and the sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ, we ALL will be together again. Oh what a reunion that will be! Filled with Laughter and tears of joy.
We will never see the like again in this world.
I love you Momma.
"Kevin, absolutely beautiful. Made me cry. Thanks for all the wonderful pictures, song selections, Mom's infamous "line". Which God knows always made me FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!!! LOL
I miss my mommy."
"I am grateful that I was allowed to spend so many of your final days with you. I felt as if God gave me an extra lifetime to be with you. You left so much love with so many, many people. And you took so much love with you. I love you always.
Your son,

Scott Polikov of Gateway Planning and Paul Moore of Nelson Nygaard Work to Find Common Ground for Downtown Vitality in Little Rock for the I-30 Crossing
The width of a new Interstate 30 bridge over the Arkansas River isn't as important as other design aspects of the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department's 30 Crossing project, consultants advised the Little Rock Board of Directors on Monday.Consultants with Nelson/Nygaard and Gateway Planning presented their recommendations to the board after three months of studying what the city should ask for out of the project in order to protect its downtown and encourage continued economic development. The consultants told board members that the city must choose which design aspects of the project it wants to stand firm on.The Highway Department's 30 Crossing project is a plan to improve a 6.7-mile corridor of Interstate 30 through downtown Little Rock and North Little Rock, including replacing the I-30 bridge over the Arkansas River.There's been much debate about the width the new bridge will be, with proposals to expand the current six lanes to eight or 10.But Paul Moore with Nelson/Nygaard told city directors that they shouldn't be so concerned with that debate.

I have the best intentions when it comes to pajama days. I think they're a great idea, and I want to embrace them. But every time I try to have one, I fail. I end up going out, doing chores, or just having a normal day, no matter how hard I try to stay at home relaxing.
So today, my first day off at home in almost two weeks, I am having an enforced pajama day.
I wouldn't have even chosen this. But this cold that's whomped me upside the head has pinned me with exhaustion and an awfully stopped-up nose, so I guess my body is making me take a day off. (The worst part is that it's not even that bad. If this had been a work day, I would have gone in and I would have been okay being miserable there. It's not the flu. It's just a cold. And extreme fatigue. Double-bleah.)
Some things I'd thought of doing today:
Clean the house
Go ice skating
Take the dogs for an adventure
Drive to Pescadero for olallieberry pie
Start a fruitcake (really)
Instead, it's almost noon, and I've been blogsurfing all morning. Now I'm going to eat something and get back in bed. I have some Friday Night Lights to catch up on. I don't even plan on knitting. I'm going to be the biggest slug possible.
It's kind of nice in an agonizingly awful way. Digit, who is howling to be let outside (NO!), feels the same way.
I don't know where to start, so I'll just jump in.
Janine, Stephanie, and I went to New York. They are coworkers of mine, but more than that, they're friends. We had such a great time that my stomach muscles still ache from laughing. We laughed almost constantly. If you were in New York last week and heard screams of laughter, it was us, I can guarantee it. We were ridiculous, wonderfully so.
We were originally slated to stay at the Chelsea, which had been the only room we could get within our price range. But at $331 a night, it was still mighty pricey for our three nights, so at the last minute we Pricelined and got THE BEST HOTEL for only $191 a night (taxes and charges drove it to $227, still a savings of a hundred a night!). We stayed at Murray Hill East Suites, which was right under this beauty:
Could there be a better view in the world? Comparable, sure. But better, I don't think so. The room was good, quiet, and BIG, with its own kitchenette. Highly recommended.
Brooklyn Bridge! It was cold, but perfect. Just like every other part of the trip. You know how everything goes just right? When everywhere you go, it seems like you were meant to be there? Everything falls into place? The whole trip was like that, to the point that I worried that the plane would crash on the way home, because it had just been TOO perfect.
After walking the bridge with the girls, I left them to hit the Statue without me: I had a date with my agent.
I was nervous. I was excited.
She was SO GREAT.
Seriously, I have lucked out in every possible way. We went to Ringo for lunch. We had reservations. Susanna is soooo awesome, even better than I could have possibly imagined. She's the kind of person that I'd pick as a friend if I met her at the bookstore, you know? We had Veuve Clicquot! Seared tuna! Straight-up class, yo! I believe I might have spoken in too many capital letters and I stole two tissue packs (so cute! instead of matches!) and my excited state might be given away by my flaming cheeks above (pre-wine, even!), but it was great. So great.
Then I went and met my editor. I know, right? She was also awesome, so sweet and charming. I was overcome with a Very Large Afternoon. It did not disappoint.
(Confession: When I was in the elevator at HarperCollins, I grabbed my cell phone out of my purse to take a quick pic of myself. You know how I am. Yep. Dropped it, and it broke into all the pieces a phone can possibly break into. So I stuffed the phone, back, battery and assorted bits into my purse and attempted to be cool as the doors opened. Then when I hit the lobby on my way out, I asked the doorman to take my picture. He hesitated. I said, "Oh, is that not allowed?" He said, "Nah, but I'll do it anyway." So here's the coolest picture EVER:)
Oh. Yeah.
With my business taken care of, I had a whole day free with my friends in which to see/do/eat everything.
In St. Patrick's. I loved the way they greeted each other, with kisses and promises to see each other soon.
A parochial theme emerges. I loved this nun, skating at Bryant Park. She was the only nun on the ice, and she moved smoothly, around and around.
Still some color.
These two were so cute. Both were bundled up, wandering through Central Park with their two friends. They threw off their outer clothing and she squeaked, "Quick! Pick me up!"
Aren't those lines gorgeous?
The Gretel hat did come in very handy.
Janine and I could pass for sisters, couldn't we?
Confession number two: Some of my writing money, someday, when I can, will be spent on a diamond ring for me at Tiffany & Co. In New York. No other Tiffany is like the New York Tiffany. That will be such a good day.
And I will buy it from Melissa, who was so sweet to us. She took the time to show us all the beautiful smaller rings that we still couldn't afford, and she had EXACTLY the same level of classiness that John McGiver did when he played the Tiffany salesman in Breakfast at Tiffany's. She had that quiet seriousness, the confidence that the three silly girls in front of her might really be serious about diamonds. Which we were. Melissa, you made us feel as important as the woman I saw holding out her light blue Tiffany store charge card. Did you know they had CARDS? Wowie.
Honestly, though, we didn't really shop much. A few tchockes, a mug and a pen, and THIS fabulous friviolity:
A fascinator! It's from a hat-maker in Ontario (can't remember the name now). She had a booth in the Holiday Fair at Grand Central, and I couldn't live without this. Sure, I'm in my pj's in the hotel in the above shot, and I have no makeup on, but imagine: makeup, hair done, and simple black dress? Divine, no?
The Cartier window was like an advent calendar: the boxes moved in and out, displaying increasingly wonderful and elaborate jewelry. (Not as pretty as Tiffany's, to my mind.) You can see Janine in the bottom of the reflection. When one of the large rings came out on display, she started saying, "Yes. I do. I will. Yes, I sure do."
And we ate. Oh, yes. Thank you for all of your suggestions! I think, overall, my favorite meal was the arugula/feta pierogies at Veselka. Hey, you think this might be the owner's car? (Parked a block from the restaurant.)
And of course, the pastrami at Katz's.
We had so. much. fun.
Suddenly out of steam.
The End.
PS – I heart NY.

Happy Friday, Lovelies!
It's about to get fruity up in hurrr 😉 I hope you're not too hungry as you're about to read what I have in store…It's time for Friday Favorites! I know it's been awhile, but I definitely wanted to update you on my favorite items for the week and then some.
For this Friday, I wanted to share with you 5 healthy and delicious summer snacks that I've been loving. These are crazy addictive, but they won't leave you feeling guilty whatsoever! What's better than that? Am I right? Something I like to adhere to is the 80/20 rule so you can eat what you want to eat as long as everything is in moderation.
Click on 'Read More' to see a couple of my fruit obsessions!
Strawberry Tarts
Cr: Monsabor
My goodness! These tarts are seriously so perfect and seasonal. As suggested, they can be served with fresh strawberries and you can add in other fruits if you'd like.
Angel Food Cupcakes
Cr: Eating on a Dime
A low calorie cupcake that doesn't make you feel any less guilty?! Plus, if you're not a big fan of strawberries (I know, I'm on a strawberry craze) you can just stick with blueberries, raspberries…the sky's the limit!
Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Bites
I'm such a big fan of mini muffin cups and ice cream. What do you get when you combine the two? A banana chocolate chip ice cream bites, of course! These are simple to make and you can stock them for a few weeks or so!
Iced Turmeric Latte
This super-healthy drink is just as good cold as it is heated. What better than enjoying the drink to your own liking? The cashew milk really gives it a nice sweet flavor, but it's to completely overpowering.
Blueberry Yogurt Swirl Popsicles
Speaking of blueberries, this three ingredient popsicle is great for any hot summer day! The consistency is great and with the added Greek yogurt, you'll get to enjoy the dessert without feeling like you're cheating your clean regime!
Have a good weekend everyone! I have something special in store for you next Friday so stay tuned 🙂

Vinalhaven, Maine is truly emerging as a destination for its amazing restaurants. The food is mouthwatering and inspiring. Flavors take your tongue for an adventure like no where else in New England.
The fancy foodies might say this place has dog food on the menu, not people food. Hollywood fav Mario Batali and the like can take their attitudes somewhere else.
Random opinions from New Yorkers are often unwarranted. But the locavores are already over it. Hungry for half price restaurant deals? Or maybe you just want restaurant deals for Wednesday happy hour.
These restaurants offer incredible options for outdoor seating. You could host a birthday party at these eating places nearby! Or when the seasons change you can dine inside and stay warm. Some are casual for chilling with your bros while others are for dressing up to impress your boss.

2008 Cognac, Veal, and Cigars
posted by September 2 at 14:18 PMon
Thank you, David Kiley. If you hadn't been invited to the Republican cognac-and-cigar party last night, I never would've gotten in the door.
(And thank you, chipper door lady. I never thought I'd be able to sneak past you. But when I said "Kiley," you helpfully offered: "David?" I smoked a cigar in your honor.)
Inside, delegates, politicos, and their wives drank beer (the favorite: Corona), cocktails, and gallons of expensive cognac and single-malt scotch. Wine was anathema.
Pretty young women in black party dresses circulated with boxes of cigars (from Rocky Patelwhich, according to a young cigar-smoker in the obligatory red tie, gets some of its tobacco from Cuba). Veal meatballs, sliced filet mignon, and shrimp glistened in the dim light.
The bar, Solera, was four stories of short haircuts, smugness, and misinformation: about the protests that day ("their stated objective was to kill a cop"), about the significance of the Palin-baby story ("only liberal bloggers are writing about it"), about their own attractiveness ("last night, every 1825 year-old-girl in Minneapolis was here; it was one step short of a rave").
Weirdly, there were Republican Stranger fans in the houseShane Osborn, state treasurer of Nebraska and his wife Teri, who lived for awhile on Bainbridge Island, got all effusive and happy about it: "I Saw U!" Teri squealed. "I just love good satire," Shane added. "You have to be able to have a sense of humor about things."
Osborn (a former Navy pilot, briefly imprisoned in China after his plane had a mid-air collision with a Chinese plane) was the gentlest soul at the party. "You really ought to visit Omaha sometime," he said. "I think you'll be pleasantly surprised."
Less gentle: One slightly slurry delegate from Alabama who, during a conversation with me about the South, said, "It's like I always tell my daughters: if you see a nigger driving a limo, he isn't necessarily a drug dealerhe might be a chauffeur! And that's progress." (He then launched into a paean for his black taekwondo instructor. "He's my master," the delegate grinned. "Isn't that funny?")
Ryan, Bryan, and Tony, three ebullient young gentlemen at a back table on the cigar-smoking deck, complained about Kofi Annan ("he flies in the UN flag above the US flag") and Al Franken. The triumvirate work for Norm Coleman, who is running against Franken for Senate. "Franken seems like an asshole," one of them said.
I asked whether Palin was going to become the Tom Eagleton of the 2008 race. They blinked.
"You know, Eagleton," I said. "The guy who didn't tell McGovern about his shock therapy." They blinked some more.
"I'll have another cocktail and then maybe two beers and then let's roll," a man at a nearby table said to his friend. "Hey, you seen Crawford?"
"I think he's in the bathroom," the friend said. "Probably hugging the toilet."

Your fuel injection computer (DME) may output a code that indicates a faulty crankshaft position or engine speed sensor. This important sensor tells the car's computer where the flywheel is located in relation to the combustion cycle. The DME takes the signals from both the cam position sensor and crankshaft position sensor, and calculates when to fire the fuel injectors and spark plugs. If the crankshaft position sensor is not operating properly, your car will run very erratically or perhaps not at all.
There are two schools of thought when replacing the crankshaft positioning sensor; the first is that you can easily do it with the front clip in the service position and the second being pull the front clip off so you can access it as it will save you time in the long run. The area around the sensor is known for getting oily which will further frustrate you if you are performing the work with the clip in the service position. You can always try it first and if that does not work then remove the clip. One thing is for certain--it is impossible to get good pictures of the procedures with the clip in place, so I removed it.
Begin by safely raising and supporting the vehicle and removing the under body engine tray. Please see our articles on jacking up and supporting your vehicle as well as removing the under body trays. Whether you are removing the clip or not please see our article on radiator replacement for additional information on how to move the front into service position or remove it.
While it is technically possible to replace the crankshaft positioning sensor located below the throttle body next to the bellhousing (red arrow, not show) from below, it is not possible to get pictures of it.
I removed the front clip to better illustrate the procedures but I recommend you do as well. It doesn't take that long and makes this a lot easier job. With the front clip and a few other things removed, you can see the crank positioning sensor (red arrow)
Clean the grease and oil off the switch as best you can and then you need to push up the tiny little red tab (red arrow).
With the tab up you can squeeze the rear of the connector (red arrow) and pull it straight back.
Use a 10mm socket and extension and remove the single screw holding the sensor in place.
Pull the sensor (red arrow) straight back and out from the opening in the block.
Always give the area around the sensor port (red arrow) a good cleaning--taking care not to get dirt and debris into the crank area.
If you have removed the sensor for some other reason other than replacing it and are going to reinstall it always make sure to use a new O-ring, these have a tendency to leak and you do not want to go through all of this again to save a few bucks. Installation is the reverse of removal

Singapore, it's something of a tradition for parents to sign their children up for taekwondo or karate classes (at the community center), to help them learn self-defence as well as character traits such as self-discipline and respect for others.
But increasingly, more and more kids are taking up the grappling sport of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) as opposed to Asian forms of striking martial arts.
It is widely acknowledged that the beauty of BJJ is its ability to prove how a smaller individual can defeat a larger opponent with the right technique.
"BJJ is less violent, and teaches more about discipline and self-control," said Professor Guilherme Mendes, one half of the famous Mendes brothers and a four-time BJJ black belt world champion.
"Kids are hyperactive and literally unstoppable, thus we need to slow them down and educate and teach them about discipline, respect and how to be good student and a good person," he added.
Mendes was in Singapore last month to conduct seminars at newly-opened martial arts school The Gentle Art, which hosts the only official Mendes Brothers BJJ affiliate programme in Asia.
The Mendes brothers are reputed for having the best children's BJJ programme in the world, with some of their little students clinching consecutive titles at the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation Pan Kids Jiu Jitsu Championships over the last two years.
B.T. Kang, one of the owners of The Gentle Art, commented: "As there is no striking involved in BJJ, kids can safely spar at full pace and apply the techniques taught, under complete supervision of instructors at all times. Our children's programme is also developed in collaboration with a certified early childhood practitioner."

Jason Furman, the chairman of the President's Economic Council, is presumably the principal advisor to the White House on economic policy. Today, he appeared on CNBC to give his views.
Furman would have been a perfect policy advisor to the old Soviet Union. He views businessmen as automatons, who have (and should have) no interest in profit maximization (pity their poor shareholders). For Furman, everything is a political agenda.
Furman's number one idea for boosting economic growth in the US is to raise the minimum wage. So much for being an economist. His number two idea is to punish corporations who have moved some of their business operations out of the US to avoid the absurd levels of US corporate income tax. If Furman gets his way, no rational corporation would ever headquarter themselves in the US, with chimerical and arbitrary policies, such as Furman advocates.
There must be something in the water around the White House that turns previously rational people into economic morons. This would explain Administration economic policy and the resulting feeble economic growth of the US economy. It is hard to stifle the US economy, but policy folks like Furman have succeeded with their proposals that serve only to convince rational business folks in America to sit this out until a rational Administration replaces these folks.

Apple butter is a deliciously, thick, dark sauce that was a huge treat when I was growing up. We put it on pancakes, waffles, toast, probably my mom's homemade bread fresh out of the oven if the two ever happened at the same time. I love the stuff. The first time I ever went grocery shopping for just myself, I found some and enjoyed the entire tiny, little bottle. My mom made it just using applesauce, but I had a box full of Jonathan apples, the best apple on the planet, and I wanted to turn them into the best tasting sauce on the planet. My husband said I made the whole house smell like wassail.
10 apples, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 T cinnamon
1/4 t cloves
1/4 t nutmeg
Put apples in crock pot, and cook on high for 2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes or so to keep the apples from burning. Mash the apples with a potato masher. Cook on low for 6 hours. Continues to stir every 30 minutes. In the last hour, mix spices in with a whisk. Makes about 4 cups.
After mashing, the apples will look very similar to applesauce, you could probably stop there and have applesauce. As the apples cook, they go from the yellowy cream of an apple, to a pinkish, to a brown, and then when you add the spices, you will get the very dark brown color.
While, in the picture it shows that I put them in glass jars, I did not properly can them, so I will be freezing them after the 24 hour waiting period. The sauce was hot enough to seal the jars, however, so be careful to let it cool down before putting it in anything plastic.

text: Hey guys- New here- What are the advantages of buying a 3DS in concern to the homebrew community? I figure buying a 3DS now would mean that I don't have updated firmware for when a 3DS flash cart is released. However, it would be much cheaper to buy one later down the road when a cart is released. I'm really only interested in buying one when a flash cart is released, but I suppose I could buy one to avoid firmware problems. Your thoughts?

Apia International Sydney: Agnieszka Radwanska suffers shock loss
Agnieszka Radwanska failed to live up to her top billing at the Apia International Sydney as she suffered a shock loss.
Last Updated: 07/01/14 11:40am
Radwanska had won the title 12 months ago, however the world No 5 was upset by American qualifier Bethanie Mattek-Sands.
The top seed was troubled by a shoulder problem during the 7-5 6-2 loss, however 24-year-old Pole insists that the defeat will not hamper her ahead of the Australian Open.
"She was really playing aggressive," Radwanska said.
"Didn't matter if it was my first serve, second serve, or anything, she was really going 100 percent for every ball.
Start again
"I really had a lot of good matches last week. It's not like I'm playing bad. I'm not worried about that. I just think not my day (and)... sometimes you have to lose.
"I think every week is different story. You start over and over again.
"Every tournament isn't the same thing. You're not winning every week every match. Normally you just to have to start again, not really think what was happening in the last week."
Sixth seed Caroline Wozniacki also bowed out prematurely as she lost 6-4 7-6 (9-7) to Lucie Safarova.
Second seed Petra Kvitova had no such problem in reaching the third round, though, as she blew away Christina Mchale 6-1 6-0, while fifth seed Angelique Kerber saw off Kaia Kanepi 6-3 6-4.
Carla Suarez Navarro was a 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 winner over Ekaterina Makarova, while Madison Keys was forced to dig deep during her 6-0 3-6 7-6 (7-3) victory against Ajla Tomljanovic.

We spent quite awhile in LV (of course) then we went over to Dior and then went over to Gucci. The manager at Gucci spent a lot of time with us explaining all the different Gucci bags. Then we went over to the Coffee Bean and all got to know each other. Then most of us carpooled over to Rodeo Drive. We spent some more time in LV on Rodeo and then went over to Tiffany's. 2 people bought beautiful Miu Miu bags. One person even bought a Birkin. I can't wait to do it again. I am hoping we can do this every few months. So for those that missed out on this one don't worry another one will be coming up soon. See below for a partial group photo.

Web Hosting Tips – The Benefits of Web Hosting in USA
Web Hosting Tips - The Benefits of Web Hosting in USA
Businesses that are located in countries other than USA usually try to host their website in their local regions. Reasons include convenience and economy. But, if your primary consumers are in the USA then there is little point in hosting it in your country.
Hosting the website in USA gives the advantage of easy access to the consumers. The other advantage is quick access to a great number of visitors abroad. This is particularly a great advantage if your website is written in English and your consumers are fairly well-versed in English. USA also has a huge number of companies that offer web hosting services. It is very clear that web hosting in USA will give an edge to your business.
When hosting website in USA, there are certain important things to keep in mind. Firstly, get familiar with the laws in USA. If and when a dispute arises, it will be easier to deal with if you already know your rights and the laws applicable in that particular state of the USA. Also, there must be a disclaimer placed appropriately and visibly that any disputes come under the jurisdictions of the court and the locality you desire. If this condition is stipulated then the consumers have to settle the disputes if any, only in that court. This gives you an advantage if you are familiar with the locality. So be careful in the choice of the jurisdiction!
Another thing to note is that when the companies that provide web hosting are high in number, it is easier to obtain a cheaper hosting service. This follows the supply and demand rule in economics.
There are sites that provide consumer reviews of web hosting companies in USA. This can be used as a guide in case you are largely unfamiliar with the profession in the country.
Web hosting in USA offers more for the amount you invest. For example, you can expect to have a decent web space allocated for you and an adequate bandwidth. If you expect high traffic for your website, then you should obviously choose the web hosting service in USA that gives the most bandwidth for you. Often, popularity is strongly correlated with reliability. With so many popular web hosts around in the USA, you can reasonably be assured of reliable services. Communication is also highly respected and hence, methods of contacting the web hosting services are designed in such a way as to reduce the latency of communication between the hosting company and the consumer.
Most of the web hosts in USA use the advanced technologies that ensure that the consumer can choose between different platforms like Windows, Linux and UNIX. Also worthy to note is the fact that your website statistics are easily accessible and meticulously collected by reputed web hosts in the USA. This gives you the benefit of knowing which areas need improvement in your website so that you can increase the recognition of your website.
It is now obvious that if you consider creating a website, you must choose web hosts in USA!
Do you get the most out of your web hosting? Industry best php hosting based in United States with unlimited web space finally reveal the secret that truly blown people away. Find out at http://www.hostwarrior.net while it is still available.

I was quite skeptical when I first heard about the 300 sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire. It seemed like trying to recapture 's frenetic and kinetic style without Zack Snyder was doomed to fail. However, with every passing image and poster my cynicism wanes. We've just received a new stylish poster which suggests Rise of an Empire will be just as bloody as 300. Take a look below:
(via ComingSoon.net)
300: Rise of an Empire will take us to the high-seas to see the unified Greek states take on the massive Persian fleet. will return as the larger than life mortal-turned-god Xerxes, while will take him on as Greek general Themistokles.
What do you think? Has what you've seen so far of 300: Rise of an Empire persuaded you it can continue the legacy of the original?

Is Lake Mead Disappearing
The water supply crisis is not just a third world issue. Nevada's Lake Mead, the largest man-made lake and reservoir in the U.S., could go dry by 2021, according to a pair of scientists at the Scripp's Institute of Oceanography in San Diego, California. If human-induced climate change and water usage continues at the present rate, or even slower, there is a 50% chance the lake will go dry in coming years – and sooner, rather than later. The Colorado River's water is being consumed far beyond a sustainable level.
Regional climate models show California and areas of the Southwest could soon face a devastating water crisis. Reduced winter run-off — due to global warming, changing weather patterns and over-consumption — are draining the area of vital water. If the region enters a serious drought, matters will worsen quickly.
The loss of a resource like Lake Mead would have a tremendous negative impact on the agriculture industry, electrical power production, and local and regional water supplies. With 1.3 million people depending on electricity from the Lake and 8 million people drinking its water, serious conservation programs and restrictions must be put in place.
Agriculture consumes 60% to 80% of water in the area and any restrictions on agricultural water use would have a serious economic downside. Coastal California desalination plants and other measures will have to be explored and the neighboring, Lake Powell, may eventually have to be drained into Lake Mead.

text: No, I'm not suggesting it is unconstitutional. However; I did receive an email from one of my congresscritters and he did bring the point up: US Rep Visclosky from IN I find it hard to believe that the 1994 AWB was never challenged for its constitutionality in court, but I went ahead and looked for any constitutional challenges/grounds to/about NICS. Nothing came up. Before I go replying to my congresscritter, I want to get my facts straight. What are the legal merits and detractors of NICS or an AWB? I'm fairly clear on the constitutional issues of an AWB, however NICS is another issue. I'd like some more info on it outside of a google search before I respond.

I agree that culture is an important thing not to be overlooked. Examining it is not racist or elitist, in and of itself.
For instance, we regularly attribute a spouse's reluctance to religious 'culture' and that is okay? Yes, it is. Culture is the fabric of our human existence. It comes in many forms and is something that we can never escape. AC's husband's culture is important to him, just like my culture is important to me or Dinged's to him. It shapes who you are and how you act.
Having grown up in a very traditional evangelical background, my parents would find it horrifying to know that I've dated non-Christian men. My interests in bisexuality, BDSM and polyamory would repulse them. They would likely react very strongly possibly even cutting ties. Does that make them bad people? Not necessarily. It means that their culture has taught them things, values and beliefs. It would be very difficult for them to see the world any differently. If they ever find out about this stuff, I hope they will try to look past their culture and see me. Not allowing their beliefs to define me as disgusting or abhorrent. Sometimes people are able to work past that to accept the lifestyles of their loved ones and sometimes they never do. It can be very difficult.
I feel that cultures from another country are similar. It's not that the Indian culture and its values that AC's husband holds are bad, they just happen to be somewhat incompatible with how AC wants to live. Until the two of them can reconcile their different beliefs and wants, they may feel very much at odds. And yes, it does have to do with culture. Just like a Christian spouse who feels unable to accept their partner's polyamory.
Their challenge is to create a new culture within their marriage that allows them to integrate their individual cultures in a way that both parties feel respected and valued. This will likely take time and lots and lots of work. This is something that every couple must do, in my opinion, even if they both grew up in the same country.

I've been in chat with an Indian-American guy for a year and a half, who really wants to date me, but his culture demands he live with his wife until his divorce is finalized, even though they have been "separated" for several years. He feels unable to get his own place because his teen nieces and nephews, god children, are going to college in the area, stop by on the weekends, and would report back to their parents, and his parents, living in India, and the extended family tie is so strong he fears being cut off from all of them, and disowned by his parents if he were to get his own apartment. He can NOT move out until his divorce is legally finalized. And I won't date him until he moves out. Obviously, this guy is OK with polyamory, but I am not going to run the risk of dating him with all the family pressure to keep up appearances.
Also this guy reminds me similar cultural values are shared in all of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Views on women's rights are quite different in Western Europe and parts of the Americas, and that is exactly what is going on here.

After about two years, her husband suddenly died, and she was forced out of her home and had to live with her widowed aunt because her right to live there had ended and a woman cannot live on her own, alone. There she was required to cook for and clean up after her aunt's son, who was an adult in his 20s - but she being a woman, it was her duty. He wouldn't even bring his dishes to the sink. That's where she lived when I met her. She was in her mid-30s, and had a college education, yet had to ask her aunt for permission whenever she was invited to any outing or party thrown by any of us who worked with her. She told me once a niece of hers was disowned when someone saw her drinking a beer. Indian culture has very concrete ideas about proper conduct and a woman's place in life.

Of course, strict patriarchy affects men as well, as in the story of my male friend, above. He's not exactly able to live the life he wants to live now that his marriage has broken down, either. Nor can AC's husband live honestly, since appearances alone, and what others think, is much more important to him than what is actually going on in his marriage.

I'm back. It's a little harder to write my thoughts freely here now that I know my husband may read them, but I still need help and I feel like I get it here.
We have had a hard time patching things up since New Year's Eve. We've discussed things over and over, and gone from angry and hurt to kind and calm, and earnestly trying to work on our relationship. I've decided not to be physically intimate with C or L, at least until I feel like it would work better. Most likely not ever with L, since it complicated our friendship.
But I still really want more with C. At this point it would be a trade off -if we enjoy intimacy, my husband won't allow him in my home or around my family. If not, he can be a part of our lives. I'm just not able to have a sexual or semi-sexual relationship with anyone who I am not so close to that I'd want him to be part of my life beyond that, so this is my choice. Next time I see C, he'll be driving my daughters and me to a friend's house 3 hours away -a carpool that happened to work out on his birthday. It will be a chaste visit.
So that's tough, but I'm willing to make that compromise, because my husband has leaned as far as he can in my direction to the point of getting hurt, and I don't want to do that to him. I want our marriage to work.
And yet, it's not working. I haven't been able to muster up any sexual desire for him since New Year's Eve. I don't know exactly why. At first I was just mad at him, but I'm not now. In some ways I think I'm afraid that my sexual nature is so abhorrent to him that I want to shut it down. I'm also not convinced he really loves me. I know he is 100% committed to me, provides for me, works hard for me, takes care of me, tries to make me happy... and I should just take all that and be content, but underneath it all I think he does it not because he loves who I am and wants to be around me, but because he made a decision to marry me. He made that decision in the very beginning of our relationship, the night he gave me his virginity, so I think it had to have been based quite a lot on hormones, and not just NRE but the only relationship energy he had ever felt in his life.
The other reason I doubt he loves me is because he has made comments before, about C and L (and others at times) only being attracted to me because I am a younger woman giving them attention, and that they wouldn't be so into me if they knew me as well as he does, because they only see one side of me, a happy side, and don't have to deal with all my ups and downs as he does. I know there's some truth to that, to being more excited about people we only get to see in small doses, but it leaves me feeling like I have a lovable facade hiding the difficult, demanding, less enjoyable woman my husband has come to know.
Should I care? I have a devoted husband who would do anything for me. That should be enough, right? But I think I'm drawn to L and C because I want to feel really loved. I've had arguments and anger and tears with both of them, so I think they see who I really am and still love me. I've been feeling bad about myself a lot lately, between long term illness making me feel useless, and gaining some weight, and my business hitting a financial downturn, and my polyamory messing up my marriage... I really want to feel loved. L looks at all that and gives me an honest scolding for what he thinks I'm doing wrong (like not seeing a marriage counselor yet), tells me I'm a difficult woman, and loves me in spite of it. Maybe even because of it. C just looks at me with stars in his eyes, tells me how much I've helped him grow into who he wants to be. They both make me feel truly loved, for being me.
Meanwhile my husband has started working out and dieting in hopes his new figure will attract me. He's simply gorgeous. I just don't know what my problem is.
It has never been okay for me to hear hurtful words directed at my character. I lose interest immediately and take all my closeness away. Sex included. I can see why you would feel that way.
He is approaching it all wrong I think. He's approaching it from his looks and what he offers on the outside (financial support, etc.), not from what comes from his inside as in how he communicates and how that makes you feel. I think if I were you I would be asking him to trade the work-outs for workshops in how to communicate effectively and without being hurtful ("Non Violent Communication" maybe? Google it) and get both of you to couples therapy where they teach these skills.

I should clarify. These hurtful comments are not the norm. They have just come up once or twice over the years. The majority of our conversations are respectful and definitely nonviolent, and if anyone is screaming nasty hurtful things, it's always me. (Hanging my head in shame.)
I'm coming to understand that he wants to love me by doing things for me -working hard, working out, buying me a luxurious lifestyle, getting up first every morning to make hot breakfast for the kids, taking care of me when I'm sick, and on and on. All good, and I'm grateful. But I feel like a giant responsibility, even a burden, because I don't feel like I offer anything for him in return. I'm not sure he gets any pleasure from my company. I feel like I disappoint him in many aspects of my life, especially during these past many months of illness, when I've had little ability to accomplish anything, even my own self care. It's as if the more he does for me (to show his love) the more I feel incapable in return (and the less lovable).
I just got off the phone with C, who just melts me with his love. He doesn't try to do anything for me, but tells me that he loves the sound of my laughter, and that unlike with any other woman he has been attracted to, he has never felt the urge to try to pretend to be a better person around me, because from the very beginning I've made him feel totally comfortable being who he is. To C, I am not a burden at all. Is it ok to let myself feel this love? I hope so, because I don't think it's something I could give up.
