Pray For This Guy
Ever since Aiden was born he has had, what sounded like, a rattle in his chest when he takes short breaths or plays too hard. The doctors said it was something called 'Tracheomalacia' and that it would go away the older he got. Now that he's four his doctors aren't so sure that it will go away on it's own and he may need surgery. Basically what it means is that part of his throat isn't as strong as it should be… I think. The surgery would do something to remedy that, but I don't know many of the details. On top of that, he has also had a 'sunken chest' or Pectus Excavatum, which has the potential to affect his heart and lungs the older he gets. Again, something the doctors hoped would go away but hasn't. And again, on top of that (as if that wasn't enough) the doctors noticed a heart murmur that they are concerned about and we need to get looked at pretty quickly. This could all be because of his chest or could possibly be something else.
Last week Aiden had some x-rays done to make sure his chest wasn't pushing too much on his lungs and tomorrow we have an appointment at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital for an echocardiogram to make sure that his heart murmur isn't being created by his chest or if it is something completely different. I'm not sure the next steps that would need to be taken if there is an issue with his heart, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. We're pretty convinced everything will be okay but would envy your prayers for this little guy.
Thanks so much and we will keep you all posted.

Thus, please continue to grant Brody, Kristin and rest of loved ones, strength, hope and peace of mind for You see all (El Roi) and are in control so much so that You are not limited by the physical nature of the universe. We pray for the anointing of Your Holy Spirit and Your healing touch/balm of Gilead on Aiden from head to toe. May Your will alone be done, abba Father.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

I will be praying for Aiden and his family.
Brody and Kristin – I've been out of town and just saw your post on precious little Aiden.
I want you to know I am praying for him and asking the Lord, Our Great Physician, to touch his little body. Every organ, every function, every cell – bathe it in His Spirit. I am not you. My children are not yours. But, I do understand what it's like when your child or children are in great need. I am lifting up Aiden in Jesus' name. Rest assured you are not alone in this journey.
Blessings and prayers ~ Melody -
I will definately be praying! My daughter, Mika, has a mild form of trachiomalacia (either that or laragiomalacia – the dr's can't decide) due to silent refux. I know it's been scary for us just with a mild form that has mostly gone away. Lots of prayer for you and Aiden!

Your one most important thing to remember about social media
Posted on July 11, 2012 by @mqtodd
There is a simple factor which will grow your Facebook and online presence more than any other single thing.
This ingredient is very important in other areas of life as well but online it is vital. There are an increasing number of people competing for eyeballs and a place in peoples' minds when they go to purchase or recommend a product or service. A consistent, regular pattern of posting is key.
You will see many businesses and people posting 5 or even 10 times in an hour say 2 or 3 times a week. This is far from harmful but will much less effective than if you can spread those posts over the full 7 days.
As images of how to reference this advice you could perhaps think of the turtle and the hare or even better of a snowball rolling down a hill gathering more and more snow and rolling faster and faster.
Ideally for a multi national business you will post every 4 or so hours so about 40 times a week. Of course this is not always possible and of course if you have a more localised audience you will want to focus your posting on the times that they are more likely to be online. However way you play at least be daily. Your chances of being noticed regularly in news feeds will be greatly increased. Key followers will be more likely to visit you confident of always finding fresh material and also confident that if they do engage with by way of commenting or sharing they are much more likely to get a response. So yes please keep threads of conversation on your posts regularly fuelled with thanks, value adding comments and further questions which will keep them going. The edge rank of both individual posts and your page or profile in general will increase.
A consistent and stable online presence will benefit you by presenting a corresponding image of your operation as a whole. If your other online ducks are in a row for example your list, your product, the nature of your content etc after a month or so of keeping to a slow but steady content marketing strategy you will be convinced that the time spent on it is more than worthwhile.
You will create a rolling snowball which will bring a regular stream of targeted new prospects or connections into your funnel and get shared more and more and see your presence grow in a way you never dreamed possible. If you do have to be offline for a few days get a friend or colleague to post on your behalf and say just click "like" on any comments you receive.
There are many other things to consider but this one discipline will be key as you use social media to brand and grow your business. Once a snowball stops it will stop gathering more snow and will take some time to regather the momentum it previously had.
Keep yours rolling.

Theater critics can't help but feel both tickled and ticked off by playwright Tom Stoppard's portrayal of hapless Moon (Liam Castellan), forever the second-stringer, and lascivious Birdboot (Ryan Walter) in this devilishly clever one-act. We watch them watch an Agatha Christie-ish murder mystery — which on its own would be a great parody — that reaches a new level of absurdity when the snarky scribes are seduced into the action. Director Dan Hodge (who staged Curio's brilliant recent version of The Tempest) calls the Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead playwright's mixture of lofty ideas and low humor "the thinking person's stupid play." Previews start tonight.

The Innovative Finance department's role ranges from being an internal think tank, through concept development, to implementation of Innovative Finance mechanisms
These mechanisms provide predictable sources of new funding for health, helping developing countries increase their capacity to immunise children.
David Ferreira is Managing Director of the Innovative Finance department as well as Head of GAVI's Washington DC office. Since joining GAVI in April 2010, David has drawn on his extensive experience from a career in finance, investing and structuring public-private partnerships, both in the public and private sectors.
The International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm) issues bonds in the capital markets – backed by long-term government pledges – and uses the proceeds for GAVI's immunisation programmes. Ultimately, these government pledges are used to repay the IFFIm bonds. IFFIm, created in 2006, has enabled GAVI to nearly double its spending on immunisation programmes.
The Advance Market Commitment (AMC) accelerates the development and manufacture of vaccines for developing countries at affordable prices. In an AMC, donors commit funds to guarantee vaccine prices. These commitments provide manufacturers with an incentive to develop or build manufacturing capacity for urgently needed vaccines. In exchange, companies provide the vaccines at a price affordable to developing countries in the long-term.

The GAVI Matching Fund is a major new private sector programme designed to raise US$ 260 million for immunisation by the end of 2015. Under the initiative, the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have pledged about US$ 130 million combined (£ 50 million and US$ 50 million, respectively) to match contributions from corporations, foundations and other organisations, as well as from their customers, employees and business partners.
Several companies now are partners in the GAVI Matching Fund, demonstrating the power of collaboration through private sector actors to raise awareness and empower private individuals and companies to have an impact on global health programmes.

CD/LP/Track Review
Spring: Spring (2007)
The self-titled debut of the Danish quartet Spring reflects its label/musicians' collective credo: the platform for a young generation of Danish jazz musicians to present their personal statements and opinionated perspectives about the state of jazz today. And though Spring states that its compositions are inspired by free jazz, you can find in this fine recording the lyricism that is so identified with the Nordic jazz of the ECM school, but also refreshing doses of irony.
Spring are classically trained saxophonist Torben Snekkestadmember of Norwegian saxophonist Trygve Seim's orchestra, Norwegian pianist Helge Lien's Tri 'O Trang, and the Copenhagen Saxophone Quartet, one of Denmark's most prominent chamber music ensemblessaxophonist/clarinetist Anders Bankeone of the founders of the ILK label and member of other Danish jazz outfits including Mold and Radarbassist Jonas Westergaardwho has collaborated with noted saxophonists John Tchicai, Oliver Lake and Michael Blakeand drummer Peter Bruunanother member of Mold and Radar, as well as the Danish-American quartet Buffalo Age.
All members of Spring are credited for the eight compositions recorded in March, 2006, a year after the quartet began working together. The compositions are based around the close interplay between Snekkestad and Banke. "Pley" features a subdued and lyrical duel between the two, while "Dithers for Schwitters," unlike its title, is far from a homage to the Dada poet Kurt Schwitters; instead, it's a spare and contemplative piece focusing on a chamber ambience and the warm timbres of soprano sax and clarinet. Only from "Spiff" onwards does Spring approach free jazz territory, enabling Westergaard and Bruun to emphasize their driving rhythms.
One of the most beautiful pieces here is "Noodles or Icecream, Sir?," alternating between Snekkestad and Banke's almost ethereal unison lineswhich briefly quote Thelonious Monk's "Ask Me Now"and the evocative bass of Westergaard. The longest track on this relatively short release is "Superyatzy," which begins as hesitant improvisation featuring a short Westergaard solo, evolves into a spare solo from Bruun, followed by Banke on clarinet and Snekkestad, who continue their kind of fragmented conversation. The track culminates in a united collective improvisation that fully demonstrates the power of this quartet.
Track Listing: Pley; Dithers for Schwitters; Spiff; Giu; Noodles or Icecream, Sir?; 50 Ways; Snekorn; Superyatzy.
Personnel: Torben Snekkestad: tenor and soprano saxophones; Anders Banke: tenor saxophone and clarinets; Jonas Westergaard: bass; Peter Bruun: drums.
Record Label: Ilk Music
Style: Modern Jazz

WHAT'S NEXTfrom Eyewitness News Online With Decision Comes Work For States To Make Health Care Act Happen Reported by: Kallie Cart Videographer: Brad Rice Web Producer: Kallie Cart Reported: Jun. 28, 2012 7:15 PM EDT
, Kanawha County
, West Virginia
With a long awaited decision from the Supreme Court on the Healthcare Act, comes a race to the finish for states all across the nation. The states are now responsible for making health care reform a reality and they have to do it by 2014. "A lot of people waited until this point to see if the Supreme Court would uphold it," Democratic Governor Earl Ray Tomblin says. West Virginia is better prepared than most most states. The mountain state is one of only 14 states to pass legislation which clears the way for a healthcare exchange. Exchanges are meant to be a one- stop-shop for health insurance. But with the law in limbo, the work hasn't gone much further than that. Those health care insurance markets are slated to open for business on January 1, 2014. If states aren't ready, the federal government will step in and run things. Governor Tomblin says he plans to meet with key departments immediately to figure out where to go from here. "Our DHHR, health department people will be involved heavily our insurance commission will be involved so it involves many branches of our state government so we'll have the appropriate people in to start our discussion on the direction we will be taking," Tomblin says. The decision also gives a green light to insurance providers, who are considered much more prepared than the states. Greg Burton, the President and CEO of Brickstreet - which provides workers compensation insurance - says they were in a bit of a holding pattern, awaiting the decision but now it's a matter of how much the Affordable Healthcare Act will cost. "Just have to put it in our rates, which may pass that onto the employer community in West Virginia and other states we're in. Rates may go up if healthcare costs rise, hopefully, based on what you read, this is supposed to make it go down but I think its going to be a while before you actually see that," Burton says. But for Burton the healthcare law is two-fold. He also runs a business. And for the past several months, they've been trying to figure out what the law means for supplying health insurance to employees. "You have to have a certain level of cost associated with the plans you have for your employees so we have to make sure we're under those costs or we are going to end up having to pay a penalty so we're going to be digging into that. We were thinking about going self-insured but there may be some ramifications as an employer if you're self-insured so again I think its going to take some time to figure out what's really going to happen," Burton says. And with all the uncertainty, for the time being, increasing the workforce isn't likely. "It will probably deter us from adding some staff until we really figure out what's happening, what's our true cost down the road," Burton says. A decision finally made, but a lot of questions and work still remain. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS

"Offense takes time," Ollie said after practice last week. "I can't just say 'work harder.' It takes time to teach it, it takes time for them to be prepared. They have to understand we can't just do it [in practice] for two hours. They have to take it home with them."
Though their first seven games, the Huskies were averaging 70.4 points. They scored 65 against North Carolina State on Tuesday night, losing 69-65 at Madison Square Garden. They were shooting 43.9 percent from the floor, 30.1 percent on three-pointers. Their assists-to-turnovers ration, 81 to 78, was not where Ollie wanted it. With 81 assists on 166 field goals, UConn was getting decent ball movement.
"I just want them to move," Ollie said. "I want them to move aggressively. I want them to share the basketball, pass and cut aggressively and just know that if you give up the ball, you could get it back. I want to make sure we make good passes and don't turn the ball over.
"I don't know if we've picked it up well or not. It didn't show well against New Hampshire (when UConn shot 36.8 percent). We've watched a lot of film of the last few games. We've got a lot of new players, and guys in new positions."
Against Stony Brook on Nov. 25, UConn was able to penetrate and pitch the ball outside for open three-pointers, and they made 8 of 11 in the second half. They were only 1 for 14 on three pointers against New Hampshire, in part because they were not able to get the clean looks Ollie wants.
They did better in the first half against N.C. State, hitting six three-pointers in the early going, several the way Ollie draws them up. But N.C. State adjustments made them more difficult to get in the second half, and UConn finished 8 for 23 from behind the arc. They were 25 for 26 in the game. UConn had 10 assists on 25 field goals.
R.J. Evans Back
The Huskies got some good news during their afternoon shoot-around at the Garden. R.J. Evans, after participating in UConn's shoot-around Monday afternoon, was cleared to play against N.C. State.
Evans sprained the sternum-clavicular joint near his left collarbone in practice on Thanksgiving. The healing and Evans' rehab all progressed along the line of the best-case scenario, and he missed just two games. He ended up playing 19 minutes, roughly his average, scoring four points.
Wolf In For Olander
With Tyler Olander struggling, Enosch Wolf stepped in, as he did against Wake Forest, and had 12 points and nine rebounds. "He did a wonderful job. He seems to like the big stage," Ollie said. "We're going to need more of that from Enosch. I told Tyler, 'Your time is going to come,' and I told Phil [Nolan, who did not play], 'Your time is going to come.' When you have trying times, you don't stop trying." … The Huskies wore commemorative patches honoring the Jimmy V. Foundation during the game. … N.C. State wore uniforms with Jim Valvano's famous saying, 'Don't Ever Give Up," across the back in place of their names.

Again good Job Ducks, way to make your university and state proud. Got to give credit where credit is due and tip my hat to you all and call you our daddy. Doesn't mean I got to like it but can't say much when you are 3-9. Go Sox, Go Beav's.. see you all in the Beaver Dam..NOVEMBER!!

Congratulations Ducks, a well deserved win. It's good to hear a lot of credit given to a University in Oregon rather than having to listen to why a school in California is so dominate, Good work. Might upset my own kind but oh well. BeaverFan97301 got to call you out, your post about hunkering down well yes we're gonna have to hunker down, why cause we didn't take care of our business. If your gonna post all those facts, post why our record was 3-9 first. Address that. As far as a Red Sox fans, I am a Sox nation, something you have no clue about so don't use us in your uneducated comments. You make it seem like you've lived there, from there and have a house there.. You get a "COMN MAN" you debah. Good job ducks, Beav's we got a lot of work ahead of ourselves. Look forward to a 2012-13 season.
Good luck Beav's, I'll be rooting you on from Boston. I like our record in Memorial Stadium, however something tells me we need to bring 7 different ways of smoke on this one. We just need to get to Kevin Riley early, which is easier said than done. Also stop the run (which again is easier said than done), force him to make mistakes, and the thoughts of that night (2007) will come back to him. Get him rattled boys..
I agree with koooshpdx, Chip has too much pressure on him right now, he can�t afford to lose this guy. I�m sure he�s sorry and won�t do it again, like how Michael Vick was sorry and he will never do it again either. I say he�ll probably get suspended for maybe 2-3 practices, confined to the U of O training complex, which really is parallel to a professional football training facility. Tough suspension..
Tdi058, why waste your time speaking another language to MrBiffle, its obvious he has no clue about culture or diversity. If your going to speak another language to him, speak to him in his lauguage and use words he's very familiar with, like pennies, welfare, trailer trash, food stamps, GED, etc, etc..
Your right, I can only speak for myself and no other beav fan. You do have a very talented team coming back, your running game is very impressive and will continue to be so, also we are losing key players that had a huge impact in our success over the years. Will we be in the Top-25, I don't know. All I know is this, yes we do get the left over's for recruits, the individuals that big name schools pass over, yet they land in Corvallis and make the best of their opportunity. They may not go to the NFL like so many of your players yet they are give two things, to play in one of the toughest conferences, the Pac-10's and an education. We'll never get the respect, that's for certain but the last two years we we're picked to finish in the bottom of the pack with our left over's and look what happen. We love it when they right off OSU, its gratifying to prove them wrong, you can agree with me on that at least, when everyone wrote off Uof O for the Civil war, and look what happen, got smoked.
I think your missing the point. Lets focus on the issue and the issue is scheduling a D2 school like Portland st. stated by UOAlumOO, all I'm saying is you don't need to call us pathetic when we have no control over the whole scheduling process. I don't want to play Portland state, I would much rather take on the George's, the Florida's, or head back to LSU, which I went to (great game) and take our chances to either make it a tight game or get blown out. Either way it would give our boys a chance to compete at the highest level possible, but its not in my hands. In fact U of O has brought in many great teams because they can compete with them and it has shown. Going to Michigan and destroying them, beating U of Ok, going to Purdue. Don't get me wrong I love my beav's but our last showing in Beaver Stadium wasn't our finest.
UOAlumOO, calm down, if you think that is pathetic playing a D2 school then you have to agree that both our schools are pathetic, because if I'm not mistaken, you too played Portland St awhile back. Its not that we want to play them, it just happens. But honestly, I don't think U of O, nor my beav's are pathetic. We are not on the scheduling committee so we really can't say much about that.
ean, you have no idea about curses. come live out here in Boston and see all the talk about curses, yeah even grown men will have hour long conversations about reversing the curse. You may have not heard about this one but we thought the course of the red sox was over when at one particular game where a young fan got hit by a bat. That same young fan, found out that he lived in the same house Babe Ruth lived. We all thought that it was over because that young fan was taking one for the team.. Oh and it gets worse.. 04' THE YEAR, 86 year of frustration over.. yeah I know its pathetic but that's how important the red sox are to us.
VADuck12, I'm not here to blast the ducks and the contribution they get from Phil, however I am here to disagree with you about Canzano's (The Bald BI#$%ch, I mean truth) article. That guy is the worst writer the O has. Actually I take that back, he makes me feel good about myself knowing that if my CM position falls through out here in Boston I can show up, no experience necessary and take a full time position there at the O. I think both Beav's and Ducks can agree, that guy has no skills what so ever. He just rants and raves about whatever topic comes to mind. The dude is a joke. Also, sorry about my fellow Beav's acting jealous, I know if I had that kind of money I to would give it back to the University, the University that gave me my diploma, memories. So Please no more Bald articles, would rather get information from Ron Burgundy, thanks.
Chs072, I can't agree with you more. Buried jersey, come on Buker you stealing this from our Red Sox/ Yankee rivalry. Have you ever been to a Red Sox/ Yank game and see what its like. You think CW is bad, wait till you see what a hated rivalry really is.
Yo McJake, my bad, got my miles mixed up... 694 miles from SD. Its cool, I got a good sense of humor unlike some childish Beav's..
Yo McJake we will gladly embrace another bowl game and actually reflect the 495 miles from SD.
Dude, CV3000, I agree with VADuck12 here, I think you need to not speak, your giving the rest of us Beaver nation a bad name. At least come out with specific examples.
GoBiGe2, I agree, if you we're to play Boise state again I'm sure you would put up the same number as you did on us. But come on, don't pull that back up B-S. If you want real back up history try the NFL, yes Mat Castle, the dude never played one minute in college useless SC was up by 50 on some team and look at him, finding a way to win. As for the topic of discussion all I am saying is when you post those numbers at the end of your statement (65- 38 694) don't for get to put 9/20/2008 Boise state 37 U of O 32 in Autzen, that's all I'm saying. Thanks for those numbers (56-46-10), although how did you know that is the amount of snow we're supposed to get in Boston this weekend. So again congrats on a successful year for your ducks, you guys truly deserve it, and good luck in SD.
Woody333, nobody is saying this is our dream season. We got smoked to PSU, lost to Utah, and obviously got our lunch and dinner handed to us by your ducks. All we are saying is we we're very proud of our boys when nobody gave them a chance to finished tied with the Ducks in the Pac-10. In fact we we're supposed to finish 7th . Your correct 8-4 over all, but what was our record for conference play, I'll help you 7-2, tied for 2nd , and before the CW we we're alone in 2nd. And yes 8-4 does feel pretty good considering 10-15 years ago we we're the door mat in the Pac-10's, it just shows you where our program is headed. But again thanks for your support for a great season and look forward for both programs to do well in 2009.
Hello GoBiGE2, I agree, both coaches for the Oregon schools are great. Also I like to see both schools do well. In fact I was at the Michigan Oregon game in Ann Arbor routing for you guys. And I understand that we play in a conference that on any given day anything can happen, however all I ask is when you post 65- 38... 694 make sure next to it you put 9/20/2008 Boise state 37 U of O 32 in Autzen, thanks.
Ostatebeavs1, ease up on GeorgeTirBtr, he's just upset and embarrassed that he has to go home to his trailer home. As for our beav's we all know our record in bowl games and the success Riley will bring. Feels good saying.. ANOTHER BOWL.. Go Beav's Boston Believes in you..
Dude first off caveduck, you can't take away that victory the beav's had against USC. USC was playing the whole game from behind. OSU played a great game. Second if your going to be mad, be mad at Utah. do you really think they are a better team then U of O, do you really think they deserve a BCS bowl, after CW i really dont' think so. After that A$@ whoopin we got from Uof O, the ducks looked like a BCS bowl bound team. We didn't ruin anything ,we just play in a conference that anything can happen on any given day. That said good luck to you and your ducks, and Go Beav's.

About Michelle:
I believe that a doctor's job is to educate her patients so that they can take an active role in their health. I have always loved school and becoming a doctor is like becoming a student forever. Sometimes, I learn interesting things from textbooks and journals. More often, my patients' thoughts and insights teach me. My goal is to provide education along with safe and effective care to all of my patients. I want each patient to feel like she has had her problems addressed and questions answered when she walks out of our office.
On a personal note, I am also learning everyday from my children. I have two daughters named Ava and Tessa. They both bring me so much joy by letting me stop and enjoy some of the moments of wonder in the world from a child's perspective. My main focus outside of work is being with my children and husband. We love taking the children to the park, pool, on long nature walks and just hanging out at home and playing. My husband is a great hands on daddy who is my best friend and helps me balance my work and play. My personal interests include; reading both fiction and non-fiction, gardening and cooking. I also love to travel and hope to make many trips with my children as they get older.

BT partnership to create more jobs for Dublin
A dedicated Customer Contact Centre for Irish customers has been promised to open in September at Burlington Plaza, Dublin. This will see its workforce increase to 900 people over the next 18 months.
Niall KitsonTechCentral.ie
Sky's on-again-off-again with broadband in Ireland is finally on after years of procrastination and rumour. BT's Irish operation is focused on networks and businesses so a return to the consumer space ends its wilderness years and expose it to scrutiny as to what it has been doing in the interim.
Eircom's expensive and rather tame broadband offerings shouldn't prove much competition for Sky, but trumping UPC's fibre network and on-demand content offering will prove a much more difficult ask. Sky will need to compete on speed, price and customer service. Does BT have the firepower to make that happen?
JD Buckley, managing director of Sky Ireland (pictured), said: "We've been looking at how best to bring our customers more choice and better value in broadband and talk. We're confident of delivering the right products at the right prices so customers have a real alternative to the incumbent services they've been used to.
The company said customers will be able to pre-register for broadband and talk "in due course". An actual release date has yet to be confirmed.

Split - City Becomes a Stage During the Summer
'Split Summer' is a festival of performing arts with a long tradition. During the years it has changed and adapted to modern times and today, alongside opera and drama, it stages jazz concerts and exhibitions.
During the summer months Split becomes a big stage as numerous performances are held in open squares like the Peristil, Pjaca, Carrarina Poljana or in the Diocletian cellars, Fortress Gripe, Meštrović gallery and Kaštelet. Apart from organized performances one can often come across spontaneous gatherings on the streets of Split where even the citizens themselves are known to participate in singing, acting or dance.
The focus of Split Summer is on opera productions featuring prominent repertoire selected from the theatres around the world. Famous singers appear before the audience inspired by the ancient ambient of the old town while the streets of Diocletian's Palace form the perfect acoustic background.
Alongside opera, the Split Summer also offers numerous plays, ballets and exhibitions, and in recent years, the organizers have begun to promote certain forms of contemporary art such as jazz concerts, film screenings, and street theater and performance. Split is an ideal choice for those who like to enjoy the sea and great art.
In addition to numerous cultural events from 14 July to 14th August, Split will also offer its visitors plenty of attractions and entertainment.

Fuel pump relay is behind right side of dash in fuse/relay center. Check fuse #6 in the same center. The tank unit cant be done with the tank in the car, sorry, needs to come out
Replied on December 3, 2007
Thanks for the info and I assume you are referring to the fuse/relay bank under the hood on right side?? If yes, great and you stated to check fuse #6, and it is good....which relay?? anyway to test the relay?
Appreciate the response!
Replied on December 4, 2007
According to my software there is a fuse/relay panel under the dash on r/h side. Might need to remove the plastic panel to gain access

The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness
Album Details
- Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins
- Album: Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness
- Label: Virgin
- Year of Release: 1995
- ME Rating:
- Reviewed by: charlesmartel on 2012-02-03
In the days of vinyl only you knew you'd only be subjected to 85 minutes or so of music on a double album and usually a lot less. But with each CD now capable of holding around 75 minutes of music, the term "double album" has taken on a whole new meaning. Most double albums in the CD age I have are extended editions where the second CD is a bonus of off-cuts, remixes, b-sides, demos and the like. But at over two hours long Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is your full-blown throw-everything-in-there-including-the-kitchen-sink album. Even contemplating it is a struggle.
For every adjective you can throw at this album in a positive light, you can find another - its complete opposite - waiting to ambush you. At the same time this album is ambitious and overblown; subtle and bombastic; restrained and pompous; soaring and turgid; self-contained and florid; thoughtful and pretentious; artful and arty. At the root of it all lies Billy Corgan's inability to recognise that he did not have the capacity to rise above average and mediocre.
The breadth of conception is vast, but the result is ultimately a disappointment. The conception is simply too huge for someone of Corgan's limitations to take on with any success. It is alright having vision, but if you can't get out of your prison cell, what's the point in planning your holiday on the beach. This is what happens when you try to get a bunch of pub rockers to play opera. As a musical vision, it simply doesn't work.
The Smashing Pumpkins seem to have adopted the principle that if they try everything in the course of the album, then there will something, no matter how small, in it for everyone. That is a pretty poor philosophy on which to base two hours of music. Therefore you get a mixture of pleasant pianos which go nowhere ("Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness"); simple hooklines which nonetheless fail to catch you ("Zero"); stupid pub chants ("We Only Come out at Night"); and tuggers of emotional heartstrings ("Tonight, Tonight"). But in the end, it doesn't deliver. And by the time you reach "Farwell and Goodnight" the overwhelming sensation is one of relief.
It is not all bad, but to find the pearl amongst the swine you have to look long and hard, and ensure that you take it out of context in able to appreciate it. Songs such as "Tonight Tonight" and (surprisingly) "Porcelina of the Vast Ocean" actually stand on their own merit. But, like a rose in a sewer, whose fragrance is only special when you remove it from the environment in which you found it, the individual songs can only be truly appreciated when they are listened to as separate entities apart from the rest of the album.

I can't say I'm offended, but certainly surprised. I would suggest listening again if all you can remember is two songs, but if you didn't like it way back when, there probably isn't any point. Ah well. It meant more to me once upon a time, in my youth, and it's carried over into adulthood fairly well. Maybe not 10/10 anymore, 8/10 seems about right.

I disliked this album. They should have never made it a double album. It was an awful album. The only song I really cared for was zero, and I really only thought it was good because it's intensity reflected that of a mentally volitale relationship between Kurt Cobain and Courtney love. I thought Corrigan was high on smack for most of the album. I hated the arrogance, the aroma, and even the artwork for this piece of garbage. I can't really review the album because I haven't heard it in years and won't subject myself to anything on it, but when you say "rose in a sewer", that pretty much describes my feelings about "zero". I didn't like Tonight Tonight, and I don't really remember any of the other songs on the album. I wish they'd have done Rock Opera a favor and left it to Iron Maiden. This album was as bland as a bowl of dry 3 day old white rice, but I still wouldn't feed it to a dying dog.

I've reviewed this album before, and I've probably listened to it more than any in my collection. It will always be a top-5 selection for me, and if I had to listen to any one record and one record only for the rest of eternity, Mellon Collie would come damn close. When trying to sum this one up, I've read many people explain it as a rock opera without the opera, a classic that puts the band up there with the greatest of the greats, and more often than not just an amazing 2-disc masterpiece, perfect in nearly every way. What I think is simply this; The Pumpkins wanted to recreate, musically, the entire palette of human emotion. Each album before and after was either slightly effective or ineffective at this; "Mellon Collie" nailed it. We all know how many great radio hits came from this album, and we all know it made the Pumpkins bigger than big. But, what few of us will stop to recognize is that they made a statement of such boldness and profound vision here that they really do belong named alongside the best rock has ever had to offer. It never grows old, it still to this day can offer me something new and exciting, and all those old feelings of my youth come rushing back. Yes, you've guessed it by now; I am in love with this record, and it's always loved me back.

Where Siamese Dream secured a spot for the Pumpkins in the current music scene, this blockbuster two-disc album placed them in a spot among the rock greats of all time. 28 tracks cover almost every human emotion possible, from rage/relationship woes ("Tales of a Scorched Earth," "An Ode To No One (Fuck You)," "x.y.u."), to youthful nostalgia ("1979"), to stalker-tendencies ("Lily (My One And Only)"), to simple melancholy ("Galapagos," "Thirty-Three," "Muzzle," "Porcelina of the Vast Oceans"). Led by singles "Bullet With Butterfly Wings," "Zero," "Tonight, Tonight," and "1979," this removed all doubt as to the Smashing Pumpkins' importance, and made a fan out of me. Track Picks: Everything I've mentioned, plus "Cupid de Locke," "Bodies," "Love," and "Here Is No Why."

Effort Reporting is a critical compliance issue. Signed Effort Reports are considered legal documents in which an individual attests to the accuracy of the effort spent on sponsored projects. Effort reporting is a federally-mandated process by which the salary charged to a sponsored project is certified as being reasonable in relation to the effort expended on that project. Sponsors use these reports to confirm that effort expended by an individual working on the project supported what the sponsor paid.
The processing of payroll corrections causes the effort report to "begin over"; erasing all previously completed actions without giving notice to the Routing Queue members. It also creates a new Routing Queue, which might be changed from the original, depending on the circumstances. The report does not contain a record of who requested the correction, or what information the report contained prior to the report being updated. Changes are posted to the report immediately after the Update Report button is clicked. The report status will be "Awaiting Refresh" if a correction has been processed, and before the Update button is clicked.
