According to www.gameplayer.com.au retailers accross Australia have broken the street date of Street Fighter, which was supposed to be February 20th, and are now selling it to the public.
From the article: "Apparently a number of stores in Sydney and Melbourne broke the street date (originally planned for Feb 20) prompting THQ to offer a blanket 'go for it' to stores countrywide. We talk of both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of this highly anticipated game, retailing for AU$119.95."
Also, Capcom unity board member confirmed the news by posting a picture of his Collector's edition of the game (seen above).
If you live in Australia you better take some time of your work and go hunt down a copy of this masterpiece called Street Fighter IV ;-)

|Chased, shot and killed in St. Matthews
|Written by Administrator
|Thursday, 10 May 2018 00:00
Police say that around 12:35 a.m. on Sunday, May 6, they responded to information of a shooting incident in the village. When they arrived, they found a hispanic young man on an unnamed street. He was later identified as Casasola, and the cops observed that he was suffering from gunshot wounds to the middle of the chest, and by that time, he already appeared lifeless. Nevertheless, the cops rushed him to the Western Regional Hospital for medical treatment, but he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police investigation is that Casasola was involved in some misunderstanding with another man at a bar in the village. That man pulled out a firearm, and fired two shots at Casasola, but they missed. He ran away, and he was pursued by the gunman, and moments later, more shots were heard, and Casasola was found injured in his mother's garden of flowers. That injury to the chest did not allow his family or the police to react fast enough to get him medical help.
No parent wants to receive news that their child was murdered, but in Casasola's case, his mother actually witnessed it taking place right in front of her, and she was powerless to stop it.
His mother, Elvira Casasola, told the press, "The boy [gunman] shot five times …one caught him in the chest and that's it. By the time we rushed him to hospital, he was dead. He didn't arrive at hospital alive."
It is unclear what the exact nature of this disagreement he had with the man who shot him, but his family is certainly distressed that his life was ended simply because of some quarrel at the bar. There is the suggestion coming from the grieving family that the shooter has carried himself in the village as though he is untouchable.
Well, the cops proved otherwise, and charged him with murder on Monday, May 7. He was arraigned at the Belmopan Magistrate's Court, and was remanded to the Belize Central Prison.

Celiac.com 10/02/2008 - Anyone with confirmed gluten sensitivity knows what a web of conflicting research and medical opinions he or she must wade through in order to get diagnosed. Sadly, it is a rare thing for a patient to have to consult less than a handful of doctors, and consider many various ailments before hearing the life-altering statement: You have celiac disease. So then it should be of no surprise that once the diagnosis has been made, there is still much debate over what this means to an individual. A celiac disease diagnosis means the lifetime avoidance of anything that contains gluten contained in wheat, barley and rye and their derivatives—and even this simple statement is not always agreed upon by experts. The consensus is that people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance must avoid the proteins found in wheat, barley and rye for the rest of their lives. But still, there is the occasional "expert" who seems to think that this "problem" could go away—that it can be "cured." Of course, this idea seems completely off base to most, but to the patient of a doctor who has guided that individual into the gluten-free light, it just may seem to make sense. And reading even further into the only scientifically accepted treatment—a lifetime avoidance of gluten from wheat, barley and rye—more questions can be raised, for example: Should individuals who are gluten sensitive also avoid topical skin care and cosmetic products that contain gluten? Much of the research available seems to agree that lipsticks and toothpastes ought to be gluten free, but that a topically applied product need not be. Although this is a widely-accepted opinion, it falls to pieces the moment one considers the basis behind the entire green beauty industry's monumental success: What goes on the skin, goes into the body. According to The Good Housekeeping Institute up to 60% of a product applied to the skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream. So why then would any individual with gluten sensitivity be so firm in his or her resolve to avoid dietary gluten, yet allow it to seep into the body via topical application? To some the answer may be simple—because his or her doctor said so. The very same doctor who changed that person's life, forever improving his patient's health, may not necessarily agree that gluten, or harmful fractions of gluten like gliadin, could pass into the patient's body and cause harm. A fortunate few, however, see a doctor who is more forward-thinking in his or her treatment methods—doctors who may be more aware of the latest research on gluten sensitivity. One example of such a doctor is Dr. Kenneth Fine, M.D. of EnteroLab.com, who understands that: "Gluten sensitivity is a systemic immune reaction to gluten anywhere in the body, not just that entering the body via the gut. Therefore, topically applied lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. containing gluten would indeed provide a source of gluten to the body, and we therefore recommend all such products be discontinued for optimal health." So to those individuals whose doctors still insist that it is unnecessary to adhere to a gluten-free beauty routine, perhaps an inquiry into that doctor's thoughts on the general absorption of topical products may shine a light on the basis behind their opinions. Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are becoming better understood, and some experts believe that up to 15% of Americans may be affected by some form of gluten sensitivity. And just as all who are gluten-sensitive continue to pour through the latest articles in an effort to live the healthiest gluten-free lifestyle that they can, so too are our doctors who are doing their very best to keep up with the latest scientific findings concerning gluten sensitivity. The more studies and research that are done on this topic, the better it will be for everyone—but unless a doctor is a specialist in this field, the necessary information concerning the broad range of problems that gluten can cause in a sensitive individual may not reach him in time. Perhaps acceptance of the idea that topical gluten can also wreak havoc internally is just the next step in the world-wide education of the ill effects that gluten can have on some people. But for now, the choice of whether or not to avoid topically applied cosmetics and skin care products that contain gluten is, for those affected, a matter of whose opinion they're going to trust: Specialists in the field of gluten sensitivity, or doctors who may not be up on the latest information on the effects of gluten sensitivity.

Bill and I were thrilled by the quality of the paintings at the Markus Lüpertz retrospective at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (MAM) last week.
We were also astonished that we had never heard of Lüpertz, who has been painting to great acclaim in Europe for more than 50 years.
The exhibition contains both paintings and painted bronze sculpture. Here's a recent sculpture -- Achilles, 2014, at the entrance to the retrospective.
The show presents his most recent work first then works back through his career. We were unprepared for how much we would love the paintings in his Arcadias series, executed between 2013 and 2015.
Here's another Arcadias painting (all are untitled)
with a detail.
I wish I could show you pictures of all of these panels. Matin/Midi/Soir/Nuit ou Adieu/Attaque/Saint Samaritaiin/Arrivee a l'auberge, 2009
The work is magnificently installed in the spacious galleries. These in his "Backs" series were inspired by Matisse's nudes.
A painting from Lüpertz's Mycenaean Smile series -- Cinq tableau sur le sourire mycénien - Jour d'ete, 1985
After Goya -- Arme verschränken, Schwartzer Mann, Rosa Fenster, 2002
From the war series: 11 November, 1988
11 November (detail)
Spectre de l'entre-deux: berger avec oiseau, 1986
Poussin -- Still Life, 1989 from a series that used elements of collage from Poussin works.
Poussin -- Still Life (detail)
Bill snapped this still from biographical film shown at the exhibition. Nice to see Lüpertz has grown into a grand old man.
Self-portrait, 1983 from a room of works inspired by Picasso's work.
Room with Lupertz' dithyrambe series. On the left the first panel of Makus Maillol -- Dithyrambe, 1976
Makus Maillol -- Dithyrambe (central panels), 1976
On the left, Castaway Helmets -- Dithrambe I, 1970
Tire track, 1966
We'll end with the earliest Lüpertz canvas in the show -- Untitled (Donald Duck), 1963.
An early Lüpertz portrait by Benjamin Katz. Nice to see the artist expressing such well-deserved confidence. Where has he been all our lives? We think his retrospective is one of the best shows of paintings in Paris this season.

Hi There,
Ok, I have created 2 new versions of the iRoute 8x8 (iRout88 and iRout_Lite_88)
iRout88 - has text faders to control which output each input can be ported.
This version will not recall in your project full settings if you manually set extra outputs for each input (The text fader switching logic won't allow it)
iRout_Lite_88 - no text faders, so you need to manually choose one or more output for each input.
This version you can set and recall each input to appear at one or more outputs of your choosing.
Both now have mutes on both inputs and outputs and I have added input connection fields.
I hope they are useful?
Happy to take comment and I intend to update iRoute 16x16 and iRoute 24x24 next along the same lines..

Installation Guide:
Your Silverguard Plus Car Cover installation process comprises of a couple of steps that are detailed below:
The first step involves the unfolding of your Silverguard Plus Car Cover that you can achieve by placing the car cover at the center of your vehicle body.
In the second step, you can place the mirror pockets at the appropriate places of the vehicle if they are available with your Silverguard Plus Car Cover and as soon as you cover the mirror pockets, you can move ahead to cover the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle. In this manner, by covering the mirror pockets first, you would be able to easily install your car cover in windy weather conditions.
The third step involves draping of your Silverguard Plus Car Cover around the other remaining portions of your vehicle and this you can easily achieve by placing the Silverguard Plus Car Cover over those specified positions.
Cleaning Instruction:
1. Silverguard Plus Car Covers can be easily cleaned by using two procedures: by washing the car cover properly with your hands as well as by using automatic speed control washers ( M/Cs) for this purpose. The first cleaning process (hand washing) is applied to Silverguard Plus Car Covers that are not so dirty and this is achieved bit by bit by using both hands.
For machine cleaning, you are required to use huge automatic speed control washers (M/Cs) and small or medium-sized M/Cs are not to be opted for the purpose of washing your Silverguard Plus Car Covers as small washing space may yield difficulty in fabric movement. Altogether, you should not use agitators while washing your car covers in M/Cs as agitators might tear off your Silverguard Plus Car Covers.
2. Apart from using hands and machines to clean your Silverguard Plus Car Covers, you can opt for another simple cleaning process. You can place your car cover over your car, bring the inside out and then clean it by spraying water from a hose.
Important Pointers On Cleaning Instruction:
1. To cleanse your Silverguard Plus Car Covers properly, you need to opt for a non-caustic, non-toxic, eco-friendly and biodegradable anionic detergent. As you avail of this detergent, you need to mix two cups of it with cold/warm water and thereafter the Silverguard Plus Car Cover is to be soaked in the mixture for 5 minutes. Five minutes of soaking would release the dust particles attached to the cover and as soon as it is completed, the Silverguard Plus Car Cover is to be washed gently for 5 minutes. Then, you are required to rinse the cover with two cycles and again one cycle rinsing of the cover is required to half-dry your Silverguard Plus Car Cover. After half drying, the remaining portion of the cover would dry up automatically as soon as it is exposed to air.
2. Proper cleaning of your Silverguard Plus Car Covers is possible only at 20-27 degree centigrade. You are instructed not to use automatic dryer in the process and also not to dry clean your Silverguard Plus Car Covers.

'Doomsday Asteroid' Bigger Than Estimated - ESA
18:50 09/01/2013
MOSCOW, January 9 (RIA Novosti) – New observations made by Herschel space observatory show that asteroid Apophis, which is considered the most serious 'space' threat to Earth, is bigger than first estimated, the European Space Agency said on its website on Wednesday.
Apophis, dubbed 'the doomsday asteroid' in the popular media, swept by Earth on Wednesday at a little less than one-tenth of the distance from Earth to the Sun - about 9 million miles (14.5 million kilometers).
ESA's Herschel space telescope observed the asteroid for about two hours on its approach to Earth and refined estimates of the asteroid's diameter from 890± 200 feet to 1,070±50 feet (from 270 ± 60 meters to 325 ± 15 meters).
"The 20 percent increase in diameter, from 270 to 325 meters, translates into a 75 percent increase in our estimates of the asteroid's volume or mass," ESA quoted Thomas Müller of the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, who is leading the analysis of the new data.
The asteroid will pass by our planet again in 2029, at a distance of about 22,000 miles (36,000 km), and return to Earth's neighborhood in 2036.
Scientists are uncertain about how close Apophis will come then, as the 2029 approach may alter its orbit substantially.
According to the latest estimates by NASA, if 'the doomsday asteroid' strikes Earth it would release the energy equivalent of 510 megatons of TNT.
In comparison, the impacts with space objects that created the Barringer Crater or the Tunguska event are estimated to be in the 3–10 megaton range, while the biggest hydrogen bomb ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, released the energy equivalent of 50 megatons of TNT.

Roti Canai
If you're from Malaysia, you definitely must love food! Malaysia has a wonderful variety of different foods because of our diverse cultural backgrounds. And when you're living abroad, you'll miss all those delicious dishes. So, what other choice did I have then to make them myself (or rather have hubby help out too ;)). I never made roti canai when I was living in Malaysia, so this was my first try.
Really loved the outcome and so here's the Roti Canai recipe for all of you to try (there's even a video tutorial). Here's the detailed recipe. Happy eating!

Struggling with the worst economy in decades, the top 100 advertisers in b-to-b print publications cut their ad spending 17.6% last year to an estimated $589.2 million, down from $714.8 million in 2008, according to data from IMS.
Download the PDF of the Top Advertisers
IBM Corp. held its place as the No. 1 b-to-b print advertiser last year, despite decreasing its print ad spending 19.3% to an estimated $40.9 million, down from $50.7 million in 2008.
IBM ran an extensive print campaign as part of its "Smarter Planet" initiative, created by Ogilvy & Mather, New York, which debuted in November 2008 near the onset of the financial downturn.
"We at IBM do not believe as a marketer in making a choice of one medium over another," said Matt Preschern, VP-marketing, demand programs at IBM. "You have to take advantage of all the marketing vehicles available to you. You have to find the right balance between everything—it doesn't mean one or the other."
IBM's "Smarter Planet" campaign was a 360-degree effort that included TV, print, online and out-of-home. (The budget was undisclosed.) The campaign kicked off with a series of print "Op-Ads" designed to look like editorial opinion pieces, which ran in major national newspapers and addressed topics such as how technology can improve energy, health care, retail, banking and transportation.
"The "Op-Ads' provided a content-rich point of view about what is happening on the planet," Preschern said. "It was very different from anything we have ever placed in major publications."
The second phase of the campaign, which ran last year, included more-targeted ads in b-to-b publications serving vertical industries such as health care, financial services, technology and retailing.
Microsoft Corp., which held its place as the No. 2 advertiser, spent an estimated $20.6 million on b-to-b print ads last year, down 41.6% from an estimated $35.3 million in 2008.
"We go where our customers are, and we go to the media that lend themselves to a particular engagement with our customers," said David Webster, chief strategy officer at Microsoft. "Print publications continue to be important to our audience, because they engage with [print] a little differently than the way in which they engage with digital media."
Microsoft usually uses print as part of an integrated program, Webster said. "We are continuing to be aggressive with digital, because you can pull people further through the sales funnel with digital," he said. "Most of the print publications have robust digital offerings, so we have opportunities to have synergy."
Last year, Microsoft ran several print campaigns in b-to-b publications, including a broad effort called "It's Everybody's Business," developed by JWT New York, as well as product-specific campaigns for Bing, its new search engine, and Windows 7.
The No. 3 advertiser last year was Sprint, which increased its ad spending in b-to-b print publications to $19.3 million, up 60.8% from $12.0 million in 2008. The company introduced ed an extensive campaign last year called "The Now Network," created by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco, promoting its 4G network launch, as well as more targeted ads for products including Sprint Mobile Integration and wireless data services for small businesses.
Rounding out the top 10 were: CDW Corp., Forest Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer Inc., Verizon Communications, Prudential Financial, Hewlett-Packard Co. and American Power Conversion Corp.
"Print is very important by virtue of the amount of reach and impressions we get," said Becky Carr, VP-global marketing at Verizon Business. The telecommunications company spent an estimated $14.3 million on b-to-b print ads last year, down slightly from $14.4 million in 2008.
Verizon Business recently introduced a new b-to-b campaign with the tagline, "Altogether better," developed by McCann Erickson, Salt Lake City. The campaign, aimed at global IT and business decision-makers, was designed to show how Verizon's technologies work together to help solve business challenges for multinational corporations.
Print ads ran in business publications such as BusinessWeek, Forbes and Fortune, as well as trade magazines including CIO, FleetOwner and Healthcare Informatics.
Last year, total ad pages bought by the top 100 advertisers in b-to-b print publications totaled 49,451, down 19.9% from 61,779 ad pages in 2008, according to IMS.
The top advertiser in ad pages was Forest Pharmaceuticals, which bought 1,588 ad pages last year, followed by Dart Transit (1,580), Pfizer (1,495), IBM (1,140) and Alcon Inc. (998).

Leona Alford was born in 1878 in Illinois to Albert and Mary Alford. I couldn't figure out why the 1930 census said she married at 24 years old and her husband at the time, Alois Malek, married at 37 years old. It's because she was married once before! Leona wed Frantz Krag in 1902 when she was 24 years old. Later,she married Alois Malek (10 years her junior) in 1925. In the 1910 census, it lists that she was doing "litterary work" at a publishing house and that she and Frantz had once had a child who was no longer living at that time. Her first husband, Frantz, was from Denmark and had emigrated to the US in 1897. At the time of the 1910 census, they had four lodgers and Frantz' brother, Erik, living in their house.
By the time of the 1920 census, Leona was 42 years old, listed as widowed (though I was able to find Frantz in 1930 and 1940 remarried), and living with her mother, Mary, and a couple of lodgers. Leona's father, Albert, had also died. Her work status is illegible in the census.
In the 1930 census, Leona is listed as being a lecturer at a newspaper, and her newest husband, Alois Malek, was then a broker in real estate.
Leona Malek was the "Suzy Homemaker" before there was such a thing. She served as the first Prudence Penny for the Chicago Herald-Examiner, and this article says that before her role at the newspaper, she worked as "the domestic science director at a Chicago slaughterhouse (information politely left out of her bio once she became Prudence)." Not only did Mrs. Malek produce Meatless Meals, she also wrote a lovely book called The Business of Being a Housewife: A Manual to Promote Household Efficiency and Economy under her pseudonym Jean Prescott Adams. Mrs. Malek actually served as the Domestic Science Director at Armour and Co. in 1917 when she wrote The Business of Being a Housewife. There were various Prudence Penny's and Marian Manners at major newspapers around the country (think Dear Abby or Ann). Even men held these positions. She's even on imdb!
The 1940 census showed Leona at 62 years of age and unemployed but looking for work. It lists her occupation as a home economics editor for a newspaper. This year of census also indicated that Mrs. Malek had made it through 2 years of college. It would seem that her husband might have retired by that time. I was unable to find death notifications or grave sites for either Malek, but Leona is known to have died in 1951.
You can buy a copy of Meatless Meals at several locations: here ($90.00, holy cow), here (another $90.00!), and here (about $3). Or if you want to peruse the 1931 version of the book (mine is the 1943 update), then you can go here for free. If you'd like to read her other book, The Business of Being a Housewife, you can find a digitized copy here. It's SUPER dated, meat-heavy, and was written for the dual purpose of also promoting Armour products.
When originally researching Meatless Meals, I came across one blogger who tried a recipe from the book called Peanut Butter Soup and didn't apparently like it because S/HE NEVER BLOGGED AGAIN...
Anyway, back to your regularly-scheduled programming tomorrow :)
Hooray for putting my history degree to use. This would be an awesome book topic...hmmm...

Denise Robertson on the shortage of doctors
More training places at medical schools could help avert a crisis
With this month seeing a new generation of students leaving home to start further education and the promise of an exciting future career, I couldn't help but remember a call I took from a mum whose daughter, with 4 A* A levels, was still was unable to get a university place to study medicine.
Only ten per cent of applicants to medical schools were successful this year. The expert with me asked if she would consider pharmacy or something akin to medicine? No, her heart was set on being a doctor. Our advice was to keep on applying, next year if necessary, but the odds would still be nine to one against.
Which is all the more concerning when you read that thousands of GPs are refusing to take on new patients because of a shortage of doctors and mounting workloads. The crisis is so bad that in some inner city areas, up to one post in five is unfilled. A third of GPs are over 50 and in some places half of family doctors are nearing retirement age. "It is something we have been warning the Government and previous governments about for some time," the British Medical Association has said.
Shortages of GPs have reached crisis levels and blame is being laid on restrictions placed on the number of training places in the past five years. The Royal College of General Practitioners has said the rush to early retirement by overworked GPs "is an unbelievable and frightening waste of wisdom and skill" and attempts to recruit GPs from abroad are putting "a sticking plaster on a gaping sore".
If training places were expanded, there would be at least one talented young woman with a burning desire to treat the sick who would increase her odds of realising her ambition. If she doesn't eventually get her heart's desire, we will have potentially lost a very good doctor.

Today is the 95th. day of the year already and I still haven't missed a day taking a photo.
When I started Project 365, it was more for the novelty of it. So many scrapbookers that I knew were going to do it, so I thought I would too. It's been amazing how much fun I'm having though!! I've always been one to carry my camera almost everywhere with me, so that wasn't a change, but remembering to take a photo even on the days that we were at home all day, that took some getting used to.
I think I am enjoying scrapbooking more too. I don't feel like I am behind, and like I need to make a layout for everything. Sometimes a photo and a few lines of journaling is perfect. I can see 365 will be happening for quite a few years down the road.
Here's some of the photos I have captured in the last few days.
Tucker's new Star Wars curtains that he is beyond excited about.
Austin's name badge and training info for Disneyland.
Gracie went to her very first Birthday party, and had a great time!
These were all photos that I might have done a layout about, but having them in my 365 Album is good enough.
I can't wait for the next 270.

Brain Tweetup Roundup main content.
by AMNH on
"Tweeting is a lot like the nervous system," Curator Rob DeSalle told the crowd that gathered on Wednesday, January 12 for the first-ever Tweetup at the American Museum of Natural History—a comparison all the more appropriate coming from DeSalle, who curated the Museum's interactive exhibition Brain: The Inside Story.
The evening kicked off with an after-hours tour of the exhibition, where Tweeters got a look inside a dancer's brain, tried connecting neurons, and attempted to speak foreign languages. There was also time to talk with DeSalle and co-curator Joy Hirsch.
After refreshments, tweeters headed behind the scenes to learn about the brains of other creatures from Museum scientists and to get a peek at Museum collections. Christine Johnson, a curatorial associate in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology, discussed group decision-making and chemical triggers in ants. Ronald Clouse, a post-doctoral researcher, presented specimens of crustaceans and a few echinoderms while discussing how some of these simple organisms make sophisticated decisions.
To see all the tweets about the event, look for the hashtag #AMNHTweetup or check out the photos on Flickr-and stay tuned for information about upcoming Tweetups at the American Museum of Natural History.

Ray LaHood's Bottom Line on Toyota
In earlier testimony LaHood responded that affected drivers should stop driving. But he quickly amended that to say he meant they should immediate drive to the dealer for a fix.
On Wednesday, LaHood offered the same advice. If a Toyota is on the list at www.dot.gov, it is not safe and the vehicles should be taken to a dealer to be fixed.
LaHood and Toyota drivers are in a tough spot. In the last three years, 23 million cars were recalled by NHTSA, the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration.
Most Toyota drivers, as well as those of other manufacturers with recall on vehicles that could result in injury, can't snap their fingers and get their cars or truck fixed. They may not have alternate transportation or the fix may not be ready, yet they are on the road steering a potential time bomb. The odds of catastrophic injury are slim, but no one wants to be the "statistic."
Yet, LaHood bravely promises that his goal is to "make sure vehicles are 100 percent safe," and said that his agency will not sleep until Toyotas are made safe.
"We are going to work 24/7 and continue until every Toyota is safe for their customers to drive," he said.
If that is the case, Secretary LaHood may never sleep. Cars are complex analog and digital machines, and certifying them 100 percent safe isn't practical. Also, the auto manufacturers have an army of lobbyists and aren't the most forthcoming when it comes to sharing vehicular data with federal agencies. "You have my commitment there will be no cozy relationships," LaHood stated during the hearing.
More on Toyota at CBSNews.com:
LaHood: Recalled Toyotas "Not Safe"
Issa: Government Shares Blame for Toyota Mess

CBS News Exclusive: Toyota Study Disputes Acceleration Problem
Toyota's Recall Success No Sure Bet

Issa: Toyota Hearings Will Be Fair
Are Electromagnetic Fields to Blame?
LaHood said that the NHTSA will "getting into the weeds" with a complete review of Toyota's electronics, which are the possible cause of the unintended acceleration problem. "I don't know how long the review is going to take," he allowed, but promised to get to the bottom of the Toyota problem.
In addition, if the Congress passes the budget, the Department of Transportation and NHTSA plan to add 66 new employees. Currently NHTSA has 125 engineers, including some electrical engineers LaHood said.
But it's unrealistic to think that NHTSA, which receives 30,000 complaints a year, can make autos 100 percent safe for Americans or the planet. The culture in the competitive auto industry places a high value on growth and profits, which can come at the cost of safety as the Toyota situation indicates. A cozy relationship between auto makers and government can lead to decisions that impact the safety of vehicles. NHTSA employees may have aided auto manufacturers in limiting investigations. Addressing those non-technical issues would go a long way toward improving the safety of vehicles.

8 unusual Pets
The fans of everything unusual found with several types of animals which can become the alternative to home cats, dogs and budgerigars.
In the childhood I dreamed to have at home a small monkey. I thought, how interesting and fun we would play with live shaggy "doll". Later I learned that they are not as cute and harmless as they might seem at first glance. The contents of a small chimp in the home can be very troublesome. Unlike dogs, which repeatedly and unequivocally recognizes you as the Owner, the monkey constantly have to remind you who's in charge of your "pack". That is why they can often attack without warning on households, thereby checking whether they have the strength to take the leader's place. To the contents of the monkey house was relatively safe for all family members, its most of the time have to keep in the cage, allowing you to freely walk around the house only under supervision.
To breed a some miniature pigs to doghill began in Germany about fifty years ago, and in housing conditions they moved recently. The progenitors of dwarf Guinea pigs are Vietnamese villabruna little pig and wild boar. Mini-Pigi grow in length not more than one meter, the maximum weight is 30 kg. Even brought up in domashneye, the animal may be very skittish, because there flows the blood of a wild boar. However, mini-Pigi easily trainable, if timely to address this issue. Accustomed to the person, the animal even allows itself to scratch and pet, and can itself ask for affection. Despite the hard-hitting glory, domestic pigs are very tidy animals, if since the childhood to accustom them to cleanliness.
Ferrets as Pets in popularity nearly as many as usual for us dogs and cats. The ferrets (domestic species of these animals) – friendly and playful creation in a time when not sleeping. And sleep ferrets love. Twenty hours of sleep a day for granted. Inquisitive nature and the fact that in the wild, ferrets live in burrows, it may cause some problems for the owners of these lovely animals. If you have lost some small thing in the apartment, ask your pet. Most likely, he successfully dragged her to your cave (read – the crack under the bathroom). Continue reading
How to feed a puppy?
Hi, I'm a puppy Jack and I are still quite small. Recently, I took my mom and now I'm lonely and scared in this big world. I still do not know, so you have to take care of me. Most importantly, eat well and to feed me . Then I will grow healthy, beautiful and strong dog.
Master, remember the 10 most important rules!
1. Not perchemlievi me. I have to eat in moderation. Then I will be an active, lively and curious puppy . If you see that I'm not energetic and sluggish, think.
2. You ask, how often to feed me . My mom told me that the older I become, the less servings I'll get. Under 2 months I have to feed 6 times a day every 3 hours. When I turned 2, then a month feed me 5 times a day. From 3 to 5 months my body is ready to receive food 4 times a day. At the age of 5 to 7 months – 3 times a day. After 12-14 months, only 2 times. Well and the portions are, of course, will be more.
3. Never feed me too much cold or hot food. Temperature food should not be more than 30 degrees.
4. Not every day I give milk. It is very tasty, but can cause problems with digestion. All should be in moderation. So you better not forget about ViaVoice that I need, Yes all puppies and adult dogs. Continue reading
Feeding the puppy boxer
Initially puppy, it is desirable to feed what he was eating at the breeder. Once the puppy is quite adaptable in a new home, you can gradually translate it to the diet the most appropriate for the new owner. Some owners feed mostly proprietary, specialized feed, other, more conservative, prefer to prepare food themselves. In practice, both options are quite reasonable.
When feeding dry food, be aware that some dogs are more suited for one feed and the other other, i.e. if a dog on any food allergies or diarrhea or just this product she doesn't like, it must be replaced by another brand of food. Buying dry food, always check its shelf life specified on the packaging. For baccarat best suited feed with a sufficiently high protein content (27%), because protein is the primary building material for the formation of lean muscle mass. Adult dogs feed a high protein feed is impractical, unless they suffer from thinness, not too much physical work and not be kept outside in the cold period. It should be remembered that the amount of food for each dog individually, and therefore the dosage indicated on the packages of dry food, only correct on average.
When kormleniye with natural feeds, we must remember that at least half of the diet should be protein foods – meat, fish, cheese, eggs.
The meat should be lean, better beef, but not necessarily tenderloin: wolves from eating their prey first, eat the groin and insides (except the intestines), and then everything else. Boxerjam, and adult boxers, because of the peculiar bite to break off a big piece of meat on a small uncomfortable, so better to cut it into small pieces. When feeding a puppy's internal organs, especially the liver , you have to be sure that there are no worms. In addition, the liver contains a lot of vitamins A and D, and their excess in the body is also harmful, as a drawback. Continue reading


text: Why did they all get in the back of the van? I don't remember. Maybe because we practically live in the car these days. Or because everyone is excited because we've got a rental. (Not nearly as exciting is the fact that we have a rental because I got rear ended and our van is in the shop. But, could always be worse, right?) Or maybe it's because my life is chaos and I lost all control. Yes, that is most likely the reason behind this series of photos.

The College Board Advocacy & Policy Center has a sobering look at the educational experiences young men of color. It's an intimate look at the experiences of minority students including the pressures and stress associated with being "different" in a variety of settings. These experiences obviously do not end once Latinos and other minorities enter the workforce.
Many of the stories resonate with me, especially losing interest in friends that chose a much different, and sometimes unfortunate, path in life.
A full report is here. Also, take time to listen to some of these stories. Extraordinary.

For Gov. Chris Christie, as always, the best defense is the attack.
Facing the first real political scandal of his administration, Christie yesterday lashed out at the press and Democratic critics, dismissed the secret lane closures at the George Washington Bridge that snarled traffic in Fort Lee as inconsequential, and stood up for his political appointees who were forced to resign their high-paying Port Authority posts in the wake of Bridge-gate.
"I know you guys are obsessed with this," Christie chided the assembled press corps at a Statehouse news conference. "I'm really not, it's not that big of a deal. Just because the press runs around and writes about it both here and nationally, I know why that is and so do you, so let's not pretend that it's because of the gravity of the issue. It's because I am a national figure."
For Christie, a frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 coming off his landslide reelection victory in November, the stakes are high.
"This is the first time anything close to the governor even resembled a scandal," said Monmouth University political scientist Patrick Murray. "That's why the Democrats are all over it."
Not all Democrats, though.
While Assembly Transportation Committee Chairman John Wisniewski (D-Middlesex), who has been chairing the Bridge-gate investigation, and Democratic National Committee spokesman Ian Sams were quick to criticize Christie yesterday for downplaying the scandal, Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) vouched for the governor's integrity.
"I've said this is important, and something's not right," Sweeney said when asked why he had been relatively silent on the issue, but quickly added, "None of us can imagine the governor ordered this. It's stupidity."
He compared the furor over the George Washington Bridge lane closings that led to the resignations of two trusted Christie political allies to his own experience running Gloucester County government with its 1,600 employees. "Unfortunately," he said, "when they do something stupid, you're responsible."
Sweeney's remarks came two days after Christie got a pass from South Jersey Democratic powerbroker George Norcross III -- like Sweeney, a key on-again, off-again Christie ally on the pension and tenure overhaul legislation that Christie has touted as his major bipartisan accomplishments on the national campaign trail.
Asked about Norcross's comments to the Washington Post that national Democrats should be concentrating on their own candidates and their own problems with the implementation of Obamacare instead of worrying about Christie, Sweeney asked incredulously, "You want me to criticize George? George speaks for George, Steve speaks for Steve."
Christie, as usual, had no trouble speaking for himself yesterday. The governor dismissed allegations that David Wildstein, a former high school classmate who resigned two weeks ago as the Port Authority's director of interstate capital projects, had closed two Fort Lee entry lanes leading into the George Washington Bridge as retaliation against Fort Lee Democratic Mayor Mark Sokolich for refusing to join more than 50 other Democratic officials in endorsing him for reelection.
"I don't ever remember even meeting the mayor," Christie said, adding that he was never "on our radar screen" as a potential public supporter. "That's why none of this makes any sense to me, and I think in the end that it will be shown to be rank speculation from folks who want to play political games."

Preparations for Korea
Samstag, September 17
A new chapter has begun
Busan, South Korea
Hi guys,
it has been a long time since I last posted something on this blog. I remember the time where I was always excited to shoot pictures in order to share them with you guys. Unfortunately, people get older, university started and this blog fell into oblivion. I told to myself that there will be a day, where I will start again. And I guess, this is the perfect opportunity for me. It has been a few weeks now since I started living in Busan, South Korea. I am doing a study abroad at the Pusan National University right now until the end of December. The first week was difficult. It was very hard to be far away from your family and friends. I mean, I experienced something like this before. I lived in London for a year, I studied in the Netherlands for nearly 3 years...but being in Asia..it's completely different! In order for you to follow me around, I decided to start blogging again. I noticed that there are not a lot of things about studying in Korea, especially at PNU, which you can find on the internet. It would have been so nice if I had something to read, to prepare myself before being plunged in at the deep end. Therefore, I try to post frequently and maybe this blog might help someone in the future. Otherwise, it will be just a nice option to share this experience to all my friends and family.
With love,

Rowallane Garden
Rowallane Garden is a National Trust property located immediately south of Saintfield, County Down, Northern Ireland on the A7 road. It is particularly noted for its extensive collection of azaleas and rhododendrons.[1] It is also home to the National Collection of penstemons.[2]
The Garden, of some 50 acres in total, features a walled garden, a natural Rock Garden Wood, wildflower meadows, a Farmland Walk (taking in the summit of Trio Hill) and a Woodland Walk,[3] as well as a tea-room in the old farm stables, which features a bell-tower. The estate house is the headquarters of the National Trust in Northern Ireland.[1][2]
The Garden was laid out from the mid-1860s by the Reverend John Moore. He built a walled garden, created the Pleasure Grounds and planted many trees. In 1903 the garden passed to his nephew, Hugh Armytage Moore, who established and developed connections with seedsmen and botanic gardens throughout the world and further developed the Garden.[4] As a result, it features plants and trees from North and South America, Japan, China, Tibet and New Zealand among other places.[1]

Security is a peace of mind. When we feel that our homes, property, valuables, and loved ones appear and/or are secure...we are more relaxed and confident. Did you know that many people use Nite Guard Solar® as part of their overall security plan for their home and property? Well, they do! Every day we receive calls from customers who are thrilled with how the Nite Guard Solar® light "appears" to be a security system in place against HUMAN intruders. The continuous flash of the red light "appears" to the human that they are "being watched". Much like the same instinctual fear that nocturnal predators have, humans also sense that fear and choose not to take a chance bothering the home or property.
We have seen a huge growth in the number of lights that are sold strictly for security purposes...being used at both primary properties and vacation properties. In fact, because of the increasing need for home security in the Phoenix, AZ area, Nite Guard Solar® is being used there in many of the hundreds of complex areas such as Apache Wells. This scenario is true all over the country...Nite Guard Solar® lights are an affordable, convenient, and maintenance-free option for helping YOU feel more secure.

Gauge Pod
Next I made an aluminum plate and cut 5 holes in it and held it against the belt sander to give it a brushed look,then glued all elbow's onto it.
Because the gauges that I used were quite deep, I made some aluminum rings that pressed into the elbow's and gave some extra dept.
It fits right over the ashtray opening.

Interesting work Herman. I have a 6 cylinder version of that engine from a Volvo. It is about 4 inches longer than the 5.
Can a Vanagon be modified to allow the extra length of the engine by moving the bumper back etc?
Will the D24 clutch fit the bellhousing if the plate and splines are right?
Your opinion ??

Thanks guys. Steve, the 5 cyl Audi engine barely fits inside the engine compartment, so in order to install a 6 cyl Volvo (Turbo I hope) you will end up with a lot of cutting.
The crank pulley, alternator and P/S pump will all stick out of the back about 3".
You would have to use a heavy duty rear bumper to act as a replacement of the chassis support beam that you will have to cut out.
The engine will bolt up to the transmission if you use a South African bellhousing, the clutch will fit in there with minor grinding on the inside of the bellhousing and you will have to use an Audi TD clutch plate, the Volvo has more splines.
Would be an interesting project for sure!

Hello Herman,
I really like your gauge pod. I am installing a three VDO gauge pod in my 1986 Westfalia. Can you tell me what connector you used for your volt gauge? I have only the starter battery in my van at the present time, but plan to install an auxillary battery at a future date. I have read the K3 terminal on the back of the fuse panel would work, but the K bank already has a plastic connector with no wire from the K3 connector. Thus I would have to figure a way to add a new wire to this VW connector. I don't have any special tools to do this. Any suggestions?

Hi Craig, I have tapped into the wire that goes to my radio(my radio turns off when the ignition is off),you could also take the instrument cover off and tap into the wires for the rear window heating switch.
I have used the 3m connectors that you can buy in any automotive store,just put one on and with a pair of pliers push the little metal part in and close the clip.
all you need is a test light to check which wire is hot and when.
Works OK for low amperage use.

Herman, great work.
I've been working on my Syncro 16 for the last 2 years in a very similar direction to you.
I'm running a 2.5TDi AAT engine and I'm just at the point of adding an oil cooling setup to my gearbox. Spooky how minds think alike!

The latest Healthtech M&A Report from international technology mergers and acquisitions advisors, Hampleton Partners, reveals how the 'perfect storm' of rapidly converging digital technologies and societal changes, coupled with the entrance of tech giants, such as Amazon into the healthcare and medical systems market, is driving intense innovation and M&A activity in the Healthtech sector.
A wave of deals delivered disclosed amounts of nearly $9.5bn, up fourfold from 1H2017 and up 140 per cent year-over-year.
North America led the way in Healthtech M&A, with 77 out of the 100 announced deals driven out of the U.S., to help meet the huge domestic demand and ability to thrive in the competitive private healthcare market.
Jonathan Simnett, director, Hampleton Partners, said: "Advanced healthcare systems around the world are struggling to deal with the perfect storm of spiraling costs allied to rising patient expectations, more expensive treatments, and the consequences of dealing with ageing populations and chronic lifestyle diseases.
As for the coming year, Hampleton expects a raft of new players into the healthcare M&A market, driven by the likes of Amazon, Apple and Google, which have access to consumers, devices, data and vast resources to drive change even in a highly-regulated market.
It anticipates that the incumbents' response to new competitive pressure will be to increase the intensity of their M&A activity with a resulting upward pressure on valuations.
During the period, Hampleton advised on the sale of BaseCase Management GmbH, a data visualisation software as a service (SaaS) company, headquartered in Berlin, Germany, with offices in New York, on its sale to Princeton, New Jersey-based Certara, the global leader in model-informed drug development and regulatory science.

A brief history of Tootle
Hello World,
When Tootle started, there were four of us. At the time, we were working on EdCrayon (Three60's Education and Classroom Management System). The development of EdCrayon was pretty much complete and one of the better schools in town had been implementing it for a year. We were busy with building fewer last minute requirements such as Nepalese school standard digital report cards and student ranking systems. After those were done and the academic session ended, we were preparing for the next academic session and we were also in talks with several schools for implementation of EdCrayon.
However, because of earthquake of 2015, the school that were lined up decided to back out and use their EdCrayon allocated resources on repairing the infrastructure damages. We would come to work and not feel productive at all. Due to the sheer boredom at work, we started researching on several ideas including location based services. One of the very first ideas was to create an app that would allow users to track location of Sajha buses on Google Maps so that they could plan on leaving offices/homes by referencing estimated time of arrival provided by the app. Even though Sajha buses were comparatively convenient, the problem was that people had to wait for the buses, generally up to half an hour, since bus stops arrival timings were more or less random. We developed the prototype for a Sajha bus route but since Sajha bus did not show any interest we decided to move on to other ideas.
Sabaiko Sajha (Prototype)
Meanwhile, I was researching on asynchronous API calls for a pet project of mine. I had been trying to figure out the best way to sync client's on-device offline database and off-device master database. In this process, one of the first things that I did was to look into creating my own implementation by syncing Android SQLite database with MySQL database. Up until this point, when ever client sync was required, I would simply clear out the content adapter's list, remove all elements, get all elements from master server and refill the adapter. This allowed for easy implementation. However, even if nothing was changed in the client database, whenever the client hit the sync button or pulled to refresh, the process would get repeated. Basically the question I was trying to answer was,
"Is it faster and less expensive to individually assess for updates by comparing updated_date and id or to simply truncate and refill?" During the research for this, I stumbled upon newer technologies that would allow setting up changes listeners on client's devices to refresh the changed list without having to trigger an action to sync the data. Using this finding and our research from location based services, we felt comfortable tackling the idea for a ride sharing application from a technological perspective, and Tootle was born.
Tootle was not Tootle from the very beginning. We continued our research on appropriate Business Models, Brand Positioning, Business Strategy, and Marketing and Delivery. Based on the changes in how we were going to position our brand in the market, we changed the product name from CabIO (digital cabs), KAR.ma (share your ride for karma), Bzuli (environmentally conscious ride sharing) and finally to Tootle (a fun way to travel without restricting the service to electric vehicles and only four wheeled vehicles). In the meantime, based on the Business Models and Brand Positioning, several elements of the app were also changed.
Bzuli and CabIO (Prototypes)
Although the concept of ride sharing is not new, and several companies such as Uber, Lyft, Ola and Go-Jek have implemented it tremendously well, Tootle is different mainly due to three core elements. First of all, we let our partners decide if they want to take a ride, i.e, we introduced the idea of casual Tootle partners. For example, a partner A can decide to give rides throughout the day and make this his/her full time job or simply give rides that matches his/her travel itinerary. The technology is adjusted in such a way that a tootle ride requests are sent to several partners within a vicinity rather than just one partner. Unlike aforementioned companies, there are no penalties involved for not taking a ride. Secondly, albeit not completely by choice, we have realized that frugality invites creativity. At every step of technology development, we have had to strategize inexpensive yet effective ways to solve problems. Although we are still purely in development phase as of today, I believe we can really take pride in what we have accomplished given the resources. This is also reflective in the product. We were forced to think about minimizing data consumption (given the high data cost in Nepal) and poor internet infrastructure. Currently, on average, a particular ride for a partner in terms of data exhausts 1 MB while him/her being able to log in, select appropriate ride, complete the ride and get paid, while the backend collects ride information such as timestamps for actions and exact route followed. This costs him/her 50 Paisa which is approximately $0.005. Finally, last but not the least, the major difference comes in the form of technology adaptation, contextualization and more importantly, communication. Kathmandu is traditionally more or less a close-knit community where people prefer talking to people to garner a sense of confirmation and safely. Therefore, it was crucial to build a simple and clean UI that gets the job done and focus massively on developing technologies that provided real time ride statistics to our team at call center so that they could assist people giving and taking Tootle rides. Similarly, since digitization of payment was essential but Nepal is not ready for secure and realtime credit card transaction, apart from local third party digital wallet integration we also have QR top-ups. To summarize, although from the surface, Tootle is a ride sharing application like Uber, it has established its own identity via contextualization of the requirements of Nepali needs. This is apparent throughout the technology.
Tootle Today
From our experience, we have realized that market drives technology and not the other way around. We have also realized that although technology is merely a facilitator, it can do wonders to solve problems and invoke habit changes if done correctly. Now, we have a multidisciplinary team of 15 striving to make Tootle technologies and services better each passing day with the goal of doing it correctly.
Note from the author: This post is meant to be an ice-breaker for technology in Tootle. Please follow the blog for future posts that will discuss individual technology features, used technology stacks and all things technology.

Three of four third party presidential candidates used a Tuesday night debate to come out in favor of marijuana legalization and to criticize drug prohibition in general. Neither the topic of marijuana legalization nor the larger topic of the war on drugs was mentioned in the three separate debates between President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
Unlike the major party presidential debates, which were carried live by multiple mainstream media outlets, the debate sponsored by the Free and Equal Elections Foundation suffered a virtually media blackout in the US, but was broadcast by Russia-based RT TV and Al Jazeera News.
"We don't need to just legalize marijuana in this country, we need to end drug prohibition just as we did alcohol Prohibition, and treat drug use and abuse as a public health and educational issue and get it completely out of the criminal justice system," said former Salt Lake City mayor Rocky Anderson, presidential candidate for the Justice Party.
"I'm not for legalizing drugs. If you want that, vote for one of them. Don't vote for me," said independent candidate Virgil Goode, a former Virginia Republican congressman.
Goode added that federal funding for the war on drugs should be reduced and that enforcement should primarily be a state issue. He then went on to suggest other areas of federal funding that he would like to see reduced, leaving moderator Larry King to remind him to stick to the topic at hand.
"We're on drugs. We're on drugs," King said.
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson followed Goode, and there were no surprises from the long-time advocate of legalization.
"Let's legalize marijuana now -- and right now in this country, we are on a tipping point on this issue," he said to enthusiastic cheers. He added that he is not "advocating drug use," but rather acknowledging that it is an "issue that belongs with families, not in the criminal justice system."
"I am not a hypocrite on this issue," Johnson said. "I have drank alcohol, I have smoked marijuana… In no category is marijuana more dangerous than alcohol. And yet we are arresting 1.8 million people a year in this country on drug-related crime."
Last up was Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who drew on her career as a doctor to challenge the war on drugs.
"Marijuana is a substance that is dangerous because it's illegal," Stein said. "It's not illegal on account of being dangerous, because it's not dangerous at all."
The Free and Equal Election Foundation will hold another debate on October 30. It asked viewers to rank the four candidates in order of preference, with the top two vote-getters moving on to the final debate, but no results have been announced yet.
(This article was published by StoptheDrugWar.org's lobbying arm, the Drug Reform Coordination Network, which also shares the cost of maintaining this web site. DRCNet Foundation takes no positions on candidates for public office, in compliance with section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and does not pay for reporting that could be interpreted or misinterpreted as doing so.)

Before we had offspring, Jaos and I would sleep in every weekend. Sometimes, we would get up in time for lunch, eat lunch and go back to bed till dinner. We were bums, I loved it. I love to sleep. I mean I love it.
In high school my very serious and dorky Guidance Counselor asked me what I wanted to do with my life. My response, "I would like to test mattresses." He did not find this at all humorous. He gave me a package for Community College and sent me on my way, disgusted.
Times have changed. With the offspring, I am up by 8am. I know I should be grateful. Some kids get up way, way earlier than that. However, I long for the day when Jaos and I can once again sleep in. I miss my weekend sleep marathons.
Okay, time to start the coffee to get me out of my Saturday morning funk.


text: The entertainment industry is seen as one of the most competitive career arenas in the world. Thousands of people want to be famous, yet if they don't have the right connections, it's hard to get started. U.S. shows like Empire, Smash and Glee have explored the lengths talented people are willing to go to in order to stand out and get ahead. Now Telemundo is venturing into the same territory with Guerra de Idolos (U.S. title Price of Fame). Its the network's first scripted drama series with music, and although it is categorized as a telenovela it is produced very differently from most of the soap operas that populate Spanish-language television.

Great punch. Beautiful raspberry-pink color. You MUST remove it from the freezer at least 1 and 1/2 hrs. before serving. I removed it from the freezer one hour prior to the event and then add...
This punch was awesome! I don't like Pina Colada though, so I used Strawberry Daquiri mix instead. My husband LOVES it. The kids loved it. And it's really easy to spike. Just add rum!
This pucnch is truly great. I should have doubled the receipe because everyone at my party loved it and it was gone. If you can't find raspberry ginger ale just use Cherry 7-Up it was fabulous!
This was so good. I was a bit afraid after some of the reviewers said that there was too much of a coconut taste....but it was gone and everyone wanted the recipe. Thanks so much for posting.
This punch was simple to make.. and it tasted great!! I was afraid the pina coloda mix would be over-powering as some reviews said it would be, but it really wasn't. I did freeze in ziploc bags...
I've made this many times and it's always a hit... I freeze it in extra-large Ziploc bags instead of a container since I found it impossible to thaw in time. Definitely needs much longer than in...
This is a great tasting, easy punch recipe. I've made it several times for work and always receive requests for the recipe. I believe the juice container is 64 oz though instead of 46 -- and I...
This punch really is incredible! We have made it for 3 baby showers & 1 birthday party & it has been a huge hit at all of them. Be sure & take the recipe with you, they will want it!

Check the windshield/headlamp wiper and washer systems for functionality and fluid levels
Ensure that seat belts are functioning correctly
Inspect tires and check tire pressure (including the spare tire)
Inspect brake pad thickness and disc condition
Check and correct all fluid levels
Reset your vehicle's Flexible Service System (FSS) counter
In all SLK, CLK, C-Class, and E-Class models, the interior cabin dust filter should be replaced.

Mercedes Benz has been using timing chains in their engines since the 1950's. The purpose of the timing chain is to synchronize the camshaft and crankshaft rotation so that the engine's valves open and close at the correct time. This is how your engine manages the combustion and exhaust process. Without it, your engine will not run.
Mercedes has chosen to use timing chains instead of timing belts because they are more durable than the rubber alternative. But like all moving parts, they eventually wear out and need replacement. Read More »
With the arrival of warm weather, it's time to prepare your Mercedes Benz for Spring.
