Wannado City
For Kennedy's birthday instead of doing a party I let her choose a friend to take to Wannado City. We've wanted to go since we moved here but we were told its better if they are a little older and can understand more. Its set up like an entire city with lots of different jobs for them to role play. When you walk in they give the kids a "check" for $100 dollars that they have to take to the bank and get cashed. And then depending on the job they choose to do they earn more money that they can spend at different shops within the city. They have a jewelry store where you can buy jewelry. A candy store that you can make your own candy. The salon where you can either work and do nails to earn more money, or pay your money to have your nails done. A pretend fire in a building and when the fire stations called they jump in the fire truck and they drive them to the fire. They have a real fire hose the kids get to hold and spray the fire. The way they have it set up is so cute and the girls felt pretty special. Here are a few pictures of some of the careers they did.

I need help...
As youl know, I'm having a boy and I'm having the hardest time coming up with any names for this poor little guy. So I'm asking y'all to keep your ears open to some cute names and send them my way. Here lies the problem.............I have a few restrictions. It has to be more than one syllable due to the one syllable last name. For example: Neal Baugh....... not the best combo. I'm also trying to stay away from the "K" names since I already have 2 of those. Picky I know. Neal thinks he has it already picked out so I need to find something else to replace it. So if you could send me your lists of cousins, nephews, neighbors, friends, and so on I would greatly appreciate it.

Happy Birthday Kennedy!
I cant believe my little girl turned 5! I remember being pregnant with her and it seems like yesterday. I don't know what I would do without her. She is my best little friend who keeps me laughing and humble all at the same time. She is such a sweetheart and is always concerned about other people and I love her for that. Her teacher tells me she has to be so careful at school when someone is in trouble because Kennedy gets more upset than the person in trouble. She says that after she talks to the person in trouble she has to sit Kennedy down and explain to her why that person got in trouble and assure her that they will be just fine. She is so thoughtful and is always looking for things to do around the house to help me. I couldn't have asked for a better sister for Kyson. She is so patient with him, and includes him in all that she is doing. Kennedy I love you so much and I am so grateful to have such a pretty princess for a girl! Thanks for all you do for me, and especially your awesome example. I love you princess and I hope you have a happy birthday!!!!!

This article will instruct you on how to burp a propane refrigerator. Yes I said burp a fridge!
If you are moving a refrigerator, the best way for it to lay it is on its side. Once you get it to the final destination you will need to burp the unit. Also this will work for refrigerators in mobile homes - because they are moving when your driving and this needs to be done sometimes.
Step 2
Once you unload the refrigerator turn it upside down, in other words put the freezer side down for about thirty (30) minutes.
Step 3
Then turn it back over the correct way and let it sit again for about thirty (30) more minutes prior to lighting. You may do this process more than once to insure all air bubbles are removed. Moving it around from top to bottom like this will get all the fluids flushed into the correct places and the air out of the tubing.

Like all great conflicts - Mods Vs Rockers, Hippies Vs Bikers, Prog Vs Punk etc - twee boys must reconcile with hXc girls. Xylophone tones are off the chart, bangs are getting too severe. International peace is dependent on our regrouping, otherwise Goth domination will go unchallenged.
yes I am drunk. had a concoction of gin mixed with lime-ginger cordial & some Thai peppers in the evening. Then went to this friend's flat which he has re-occupied after a long gap. Lot of college days sunk there. There, I drank some clear rum with lime cordial, peach juice & soda.
When I listen to this, I am acutely aware of how wack it looks to others. Like Mz. Jenkins once said, its a miracle white people hook up at all. [given the exploration of awkwardness]

Starr and Cole were trapped in a closet underneath a club. No, seriously. They were squeezed in together, a drug lord minion not a few oblivious feet away, and they had no way out.
They had no idea where their other teammates were. Theyd been captured, helmets and protective vests stripped away. Guns and knives of course confiscated. Luckily a rival gang had decided to stage a surprise attack on this gang of drug dealers and the six of them had been able to get away, although they had had to split up. Calyx and he had managed to work their way deeper into the housing under the club, and were currently hiding amongst what smelt like leather jackets as they waited for the cavalry to arrive. Like fucking damsel in distresses. Fuck. Jake didnt know how this day could get any worse.
At least they werent facing each other, Jake reasoned, trying to find the bright side. Otherwise Calyx would probably try to do something, like kiss him. Jake made a face, glad no-one could see him. Light filtered in from between the horizontal wooden flats that made up the closet door, so Jake could see the outline of his teammate as he leant his forehead against the wall, one hand splayed beside it.
This was supposed to have been a routine drug bust. Jake was supposed to be back home right now, preferably showering off the mission with Parker. But nooo. Because apparently, fate hated him.
He heard Starr sigh, whether from agitation or fatigue or boredom or plain annoyance Jake couldnt tell. Starr had been clean for the mission because theyd needed to interview some of the gang members before they, well, executed them. Now his hand and fingers visibly trembled where they rested against the wall.
You okay? Jake asked, except because they were hiding he had to lean forward, his lips inadvertently brushing loose strands of Starrs hair from his ear as he whispered it. Starr trembled, which Jake figured was bad.
Yes, fine, Starr hissed back. Completely and totally A-OK here, Cole. He sighed loudly and his fingers curled.
Shh! Jake muttered, because yeah, Calyx had good reason to be bitchy, but still. They were hiding from the big men with guns so if the blonde wanted to keep bitching hed have to stay quiet.
You shh! Calyx snapped back under his breath. Jake had his hand curled over Starrs big fat mouth before he even realised the impulse existed.
Starr huffed, warm breath tickling Jakes fingers but he made no move to wrench his hand from his face. After a second Jake removed his hand and tried to peer through one of the slats into the room. The slats were pointed diagonally downwards, so he had a great view of the carpet and not much else. He stood straighter and managed to see the bottom half of a man wearing a tacky red bathrobe. Jake watched bare feet pace back and forwards until they disappeared followed by the squeak of mattress springs.
Starr let out a little sigh and his head tipped back. Jake glared at the back of his head until Starr did it again. Whatever he was doing, he was reacting to the man in the room.
Fight it, freak, Jake ordered.
Isnot that simple, Calyx bit back.
Dont you freaks have walls or something, I think I heard Black say once. To keep all the shit out?
Yeah but... Calyxs head dipped forward to hang between his shoulders and took a deep breath, Im only an empath. I dont- I cant- fight... With a little groan the empath moved back into Coles body, pushing Jake flat against the wall. With his hands still braced on the wall, Calyx held Jake pinned with his lower half. Jake tried not to react to the round, firm ass pushing firmly into his groin. He figured it should be easier to ignore the sensation when it was Calyx, but noooo. Stupid libido not consulting him first before it went and started being attracted to people.
But Starr was kind of hot, in a fulfil-all-of-your-deepest-darkest-desires-on-my-willing-hot-body kind of way. Which Jake wasnt into at all. He liked sweet and innocent, and men who he could take care of because they trusted him with his problems. Not because they were whingy and high maintenance. But still, if you took away the personality factor there was no denying that Starr was all smooth, milky skin like porcelain and handsome in an almost androgynous way. Clearly Black was into him enough to go all stupid over him, so Jake figured he should allow himself some slack. It was probably just because Starrs cool beauty reminded him of Parker.
Jake wondered if Black had ever compared the two men and seen the similarities; long hair, lithe bodies, a bewitching mix of strong and pretty facial features. Probably not. Until Jake had slept with Black he hadnt even been sure the young dark man even had a sex drive. And if the way Starr sauntered around most of the time with a nausea-inducing afterglow, it was a hell of a one to match the horny empaths.
Speaking of horny empaths, the blonde was now moving his hips in small circle. In a very distracting way not at all conducive to thought-having. Jake felt his face go white and freeze, with no idea of what to do. Until Calyx moaned, loud.
Jake clamped a hand over the blondes mouth, careful to avoid his nostrils because he didnt want Calyx writhing against him any more than he had to, and pulled the blonde flat against him. He heard and felt the vibrations of the moan along his arm as Calyx reacted favourably to the manhandling.
Trying to keep a handle on the man who was squirming like he was auditioning to become a squid, Jake tried to peer through the wooden slats to see what the man in the room was doing to cause this reaction in the blonde.
Which was... nothing. There hadnt been any more spring squeaking or voices. Jake could see the mans feet at the edge of his bed and he didnt even appear to moving. Maybe he watching a porno on mute.
Had to be a hell of a porno, Jake thought as the blonde let out a series of high-pitched whimpers against his palm and tried to hump Jakes cock through their trousers. Jake pulled them both as upright as he could, one hand over the blondes mouth, the over around his waist. They ended up sandwiched together but at least this way, with the blondes head tipped back and resting firmly in place on Jakes shoulder, Calyx couldnt backwards hump him anymore.
Which was a good thing, Jake reminded himself and waited for his heartbeat to return to normal after all of this mission-induced adrenalin. Yep. Nothing to do with the gorgeous man pressed up against him... who was... licking his palm.
Small little frantic licks, like a kitten lapping at cream. Except Calyx was licking his flesh and sweat. Jake cursed his imagination as it supplied him with several ways Calyx could lick other parts of his... flesh and sweat... and cream. Jake cursed into Starrs shoulder, feeling the familiar silky strands so similar to Parkers running across his face. If anybody asked, that was his gun. Or badge. Never mind the fact they werent currently on him.
Not an erection. Not over Calyx Starr.
Jake stiffened as he heard the familiar squeak of springs. Dear lord, if this other dude started having sex as well Jake might go mad. Then a serious thought struck him; if he didnt get Calyx out of here, the empath might go mad. Jake didnt want to be trapped in a confined space with a crazy person. Well, he looked wryly at the side of the blondes head... crazier person.
Hes not even...! Why are you having this reaction? Hes not doing anything!
Not him. Next door. Three of four of them, Calyx groaned. Oh yeah, fuck me, Calyx panted, pushing back until the heavy line of Jakes dick was almost wedged between other mans ass cheeks and material of his combat pants. They needed new pants for missions. Like, desperately. Ones that werent so loose you could do things like this. Fuck the necessity of manoeuvrability. If they werent wearing pants or underwear (did Starr own underwear?) then Jake figured the tip of his cock would be somewhere in the vicinity of Starrs hole. It was nothing close to the real thing, but from the way Calyx bucked and arched his back youd think Jake was already inside of him.
Jake frantically shut down that line of thought before it could anywhere that involved images. He was not, under any circumstances, even on the pain of death, going to fuck his incredibly scary and lethal and intimidating bosss boyfriend while he was in love with his own non-Calyx boyfriend, inside the closet of a drug dealers house, with someone else not four feet away. Jake totally and completely understood that. Now he just needed a way to inform his dick about it. At least Calyx was too out of it to notice, he though, thanking heaven for small mercies.
You like it, cooed Starr, twisting his neck to nuzzle the side of Jakes face while their lower halves remained sandwiched together. Wow, Calyx was flexible, Jake realised. So not helping.
But when Calyxs lips pursed and he pressed a small, chaste kiss to the side of Jakes lips he maybe didnt move away. He maybe turned his head a little and pursed his own lips to slide meet Calyxs once, twice, three times. And maybe, in a theoretical universe that certainly wasnt this one, let his mouth slide open a little in a mirror action to Calyxs, and stuck his tongue out to brush against the blondes.
It was nothing, could be excused as an accident. Except it wasnt bad or gross, and Jake didnt spontaneously contract gonorrhoea like maybe he was expecting. So Jake let it happen again, their tongues meeting outside of their mouths and making the whole kiss sloppy and wet and filthy. Jake shut his eyes tight and fought down rising waves of lust.
From the way the empath in front of him reached back and grabbed his buttocks, pulling Jake firmer against him (as if that were even possible at this point), Jake hadnt exceeded at controlling his emotions as thoroughly as he liked.
It was kind of heady, having Starr turned on because he was. As if he were already inside of the empath, filling him with need mentally rather than physically.
Dear lord, but Black was going to kill him. Slowly. And painfully. Yet, somehow one of Jakes hand ended up sliding forward from the empaths hips where itd been resting and cupped the blonde where he was restricted, hard and throbbing in his pants. Black wouldnt even use a gun; hed use an axe to chop Jake into itty bitty piece and make sure he was conscious for all of it.
Thankfully those thoughts were enough to distract a part of his consciousness from the man who turned out be really warm and soft in counterpoint to his brash and cool demeanour, so Jake heard when the mattress squeaked again. And feet padded on the carpet.
Jake froze and Calyx let out a little whine at the lack of continued friction against his crotch. Jake cupped his hand over Calyxs mouth which was wet with his saliva this time, and used it to tip the mans head back onto his shoulder, arching his long slender throat in a blatant invitation for sin which Jake forced himself to ignore, and used his grip to hold the blonde immobile against him.
He listened intently as the man left the room, the door shutting after him. He waited a few minutes to see if the man or anyone else was going to come back in, the blonde twitching impatiently against him.
Oh good, we can leave, Jake thought with relief. They could escape this whole place, and this tiny little closet where the air stank of sweat and arousal.
Oh good, Calyx purred a moment later when Jakes hand had slipped down to cup the vulnerable curve of his neck. Now we can fuck.
No! sputtered Jake, shoving the door open and expelling them into the vacant room, hoping fresh air would clean both their heads. Lets go find the others.
Starr looked at him blankly for a moment, making Jake worry something was seriously wrong, before the blonde shook his head and pressed his fingers to his temples. Yeah, Calyx breathed. Lets go find our boys. He looked up again and when their eyes met Jake knew neither one of them would be forgetting about this anytime soon. Jake could only hope Calyx kept quiet about it, but what were his chances of his luck changing sooner rather than later?
As Starr took point as they left the room, Jakes eyes fell down the curve of Calyxs back to his ass where the pants material was crumpled like hed been sitting on chair for the last half hour rather than up against Jakes groin. Oh, well. Sometimes his luck wasnt all bad.

Breast Place to feed your baby
Coffee Co-op in line for award
by Luke Thomas, Christchurch Mail
7 April 2010
Trim is not the only milk flowing freely at the Addington Coffee Co-op.
The cafe is one of 10 finalists in the inaugural Breastmates Friendly Feeding Awards.
It is in line to be named the country's best public breastfeeding place in the country as voted by mothers online.
The owners were bemused by the nomination and weren't too sure what to say.
"Its a funny one," sales manager Jared Gardiner said.
"It's not exactly something we were aiming for, but it's good that mothers feel comfortable here to do that.
"I guess it's kind of cool as well because I know that in public it (breastfeeding) can be a bit awkward sometimes, so we would be encouraging of it."
The nominees were selected by the 3000 Breastmates members on Facebook which were then judged on a criteria such as nappy change areas, couches, easy parking, stroller access, high chairs and friendly staff.
Mother Jo Bunting said it's good for breastfeeding mothers to have a place where they can feel comfortable to feed their babies.
"You just feel really comfortable here and it's great that the staff are so accepting as well. It just makes it easier," she said.
"I was in Northlands Mall one day and three generations of women were staring at me feeding him and the older one looking at me strangely.
"Another time I was in the centre of a cafe in Riccarton Mall and a lady came over and said 'good on you for breastfeeding in public.' So that made me feel better about it."
Breastmates owner Frances McInnes said the competition was aimed at supporting mothers who wanted to breast feed outside the house.
"The idea is to give mothers some good places to go," she said.
"For new mothers their whole life becomes centered around feeding their baby and some just end up staying at home.
"We also want to encourage women to keep breastfeeding. I understand some women choose to stop earlier than others, but we don't want it to be because of an embarrassing moment in public."
Christchurch city centre's Joe's Garage was another finalist in the competition.
The winner will be announced later this month.

Main Dish
Steak, Crispy Onions and Arugula Sandwich
The adage is that everyone turns out to be like their parents; one way I know that this is coming true is in my inability to throw away food. Growing up, all leftovers were either reheated or reinvented for the next meal. Therefore, when I made the recipe for Grilled Pork Chops with Carrot Puree, Arugula, and Crispy Onions and ended up with lots of delicious arugula sauce left over due to my large blender, I started to think about the next meal I could make with it. I came up with a steak sandwich where I repurposed both the sauce and the onions.
Steak, Crispy Onions and Arugula Sandwich, serves 4 for lunch or supper
1/2 lb of steak filet
Coarse salt & cracked black pepper
Olive oil
1 block of parmesan cheese
Balsamic vinegar
1 medium-large baguette
Set the steak out on the counter for at least 30 minutes to get to room temperature. Heat the grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook until desired doneness; I like mine medium-rare to medium, so 2-3 minutes on each side. When it is ready, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes on a cutting board so the juices can redistribute.
Meanwhile, for fresh arugula sauce and fried onions, follow the steps from the recipe for Grilled Pork Chops with Carrot Puree, Arugula, and Crispy Onion. If you have leftovers on hand, add a couple dashes of balsamic to awaken the sauce.
Then, slice the baguette lengthwise and begin assembling, spreading on the arugula sauce and adding some fresh arugula leaves, and fried onions. Next, thinly slice the steak and add it to the sandwich. Finish by shaving some parmesan cheese, sprinkling a pinch of salt and pepper (optional) and cutting into 4.

You're worried that you'll have negative reactions?
Love means never having to say, "Put down that meat cleaver!"
Yeah. He's willing to back up if that's the case, I just don't like feeling as if I'm jerking him around. He understands, it's just frustrating for me. But I trust him
"Dont try to understand everything. Sometimes it is not meant to be understood, just accepted."
- Not sure who
Trust is important. That's a good place to start.
Love means never having to say, "Put down that meat cleaver!"
is it just wobbles?
Hi, new here but not altogether new to poly. Need some advice on navigating a mono/poly relationship.
Backstory: PC and I dated as poly, we both had other partners, but we lived separately. Both of our other relationships ended about the time I got really sick. I lost my job and we got married for health insurance, but also because we saw being together long term. We closed up the relationship because we were in crisis mode 24/7 with my health and decided neither of us could handle other relationships.
Fastforward 18 months: We are in couples therapy to work out some issues around trust and communication, and his borderline alcoholism. My condition is stable but it looks like it could be chronic; we live together and I'm on disability and financially dependent on PC for myself and my son.
PC has issued an ultimatum that he can no longer put off what he now says is his sexual identity (polyamorous) and though he will not leave me physically or financially, my choices are to accept him reintroducing 2 ex-girlfriends as paramours, or learn to live with him as just friends. Of course, I also have the option to leave him.
I am not willing to live as some version of friends, which means I either accept this or I walk. In theory, I'm ok with him having other relationships. I'm not too thrilled with the ex-gfs as they definitely had relationship issues, which he is now glossing over as just being he broke up with them because he didn't want monogamy but didn't realize polyamory was a choice. It's almost like he's having NRE with polyamory itself.
In practice, I don't know if there's wobbles (it's more like a pit in my stomach than something I would label as jealousy) or an outright rejection of polyamory. Things are definitely different now that we live together. I feel like I would be ok if I was also able to actively be looking for a relationship myself (I'm bisexual but only came out to myself about 3 years ago and am still looking to explore that side of myself) but being unhealthy, tired and emotionally unstable at times due to medication side effects, and broke, I don't feel like now is a good time for me to pursue any relationships.
I want to stay in this relationship; PC has been my rock for the past 2 years, but I really really don't want to do this whole mono/poly thing. Do I wait this out? See how I feel as his other relationships progress? See if I feel up to a new relationship of my own? Or am I better off leaving him because he is determined to open this relationship now and I am not so sure at all?
It seems noble that he gave them up and married you when you got sick. It seems he preferred you, even sick you, to his other gfs 18 months ago.
My greatest condolences to you on your illness, by the way. A devastating illness and chronic diagnosis is very very hard to live with. It changes your life!
But now PC is drinking too much? And maybe a bit burnt out by taking care of you, and your son, while you were in acute crisis? So now maybe he imagines having these 2 gfs back will be his fun reward for taking care of you? You are in a very vulnerable position. What about your child's father? Not in the picture, financially or with some custody? Any grandparents that could help financially or otherwise?
Love withers under constraint; its very essence is liberty. It is compatible neither with envy, jealousy or fear. It is there most pure, perfect and unlimited when its votaries live in confidence, equality and unreserve. -- Shelley
Mags (poly, F, 63)
Pixi (poly, F, 41) my partner since January 2009, living together full time 6 years
Master, (mono, M, 37), Pixi's bf since April 2013
My child's father is minimally involved but has some custody and gives token child support. My family is willing to help, but I would have to move several hours away to them for that to happen, leaving my child to have to choose parents, which is not the worst thing but not a great thing either. It doesn't help that my son has gotten extremely attached to PC as well. Vulnerable is a great word to describe my position!
And... I just found out that the one ex he's been talking to for months, largely about what happened in their relationship but "as friends" as he was telling me... He just told her that I existed. She had no idea he had any partners let alone was married. His reasoning is that it had never been part of their conversation and was a weird thing to bring up.
I'd like to think I'm married to an idiot who is now trying to come clean and be honest and ethical, but now I'm wondering if it's something else ...
I told him he was a butthole to both the ex gf and me for keeping that information to himself, and he got very upset saying I had no right to judge what he does in other relationships. I call BS... Seems like he has been witholding info from all 3 of us, and a pattern emerging. I don't know how to bring it up again in a way we can have a rational discussion about it.
I guess if one is talking to someone just "as a friend," one can get away with not telling them you're married. But as soon as it becomes more than just friends, it becomes paramount that you come clean. Your partner should have done this.
Love means never having to say, "Put down that meat cleaver!"
To my view, poly is also beside the point here. It's not about whether you can handle poly, it's about how dependent you are on this man for your well being.

SHANGHAI SIPG was held to a goalless draw by Fabio Cannavaro's Tianjin Quanjian in their Chinese Super League match at Shanghai Stadium yesterday, slowing down its pace in the chase of table topper Guangzhou Evergrande.
Evergrande beat another Tianjin team Teda 3-0 in a Saturday match to extend its lead atop the CSL standings to four points. It now has 44 points, followed by SIPG (41) and Quanjian (36).
It was the second time within a week that Andre Villas-Boas' SIPG took on Quanjian. SIPG claimed a 4-0 victory in their CFA Cup quarterfinal, second-leg match on the same pitch last Thursday Martin Olsson Sverige Tröja , and advanced to the semifinals with an aggregate score of 4-3.
Coming into yesterday's clash, Cannavaro's team made it tougher for the hosts by strengthening its defense, though SIPG started with most of its major players, including Hulk Andreas Granqvist Sverige Tröja , Elkeson, Wu Lei and Odil Ahmedov.
After a goalless first half, Villas-Boas replaced Wu with Lu Wenjun 15 minutes into the second half, which hardly improved the team's attack. The two sides only recorded a total of three shots on target throughout the match.
"Our opponents did some homework against our 3-5-2 formation (after Wednesday's cup match) Victor Lindelof Sverige Tröja ," said SIPG striker Li Shenglong. "Both sides created some chances, but did not seize them."
Cannavaro praised his team's performance at the post-match press conference. "Today's Tianjin Quanjian is the team I have tried to build in the past one year. Our players managed to suppress SIPG's key players both on the wings and in the center as I had demanded," said the Italian.
In another Saturday match, a last-minute goal by South Korean defender Kim Kee-hee helped Shanghai Greenland Shenhua to steal a point from a 1-1 draw with Changchun Yatai at Hongkou Football Stadium.
Shenhua manager Gus Poyet benched some regular starters Mikael Lustig Sverige Tröja , including captain Giovanni Moreno, Obafemi Martins, and Cao Yunding, as the team recovers from a mid-week CFA Cup match.
The hosts conceded an early goal when Changchun's Tan Long dribbled the ball past Shenhua goalie Li Shuai on a one-on-one chance and found the back of the net 12 minutes into kick-off.
Shenhua then created a couple of chances Jacob Rinne VM 2018 Tröja , including a headed attempt by Carlos Tevez, which hit the post in the 19th. The Argentina striker won another one-on-one chance in the box two minutes later, but his shot was blocked by Changchun goalie Wu Yake.
Poyet used up his three substitutions in the opening five minutes of the second half, sending More.

@wlmeng11: can you check with no browser open? and with no external displays? after a fresh boot possibly.
Also, what DE are you using? My tests are on Cinnamon 2.0.12
no masters to rule us, no gods to fool us
I am also not having much luck with linux-3.12.1-1 or linux-3.12.1-1 on my thinkpad X220 with an i7 (SB). Downgrading my kernel to linux-3.11.4-1 returned my power usage to sane levels again and allowed my gpu to idle some.
@jkelley05: yeah, I rolled back to 3.11.4 too because 3.12 seems to be power hungrier than that version. Haven't tested the last 3.12.x releases though.
no masters to rule us, no gods to fool us
I'm also seeing 100% Powered ON bhaviour on later kernels. This happens when playing videos in mpv/mplayer. Oddly enough this does not appear when using vlc. It also happens when using flash in firefox.
I reverted to 3.11.4 and it's back to normal.
Hi All,
seems it has bee quiet on this specif post. But since I experience the same issues as the previous poster. I like to re-request, what the current status for this issue is. Specifically I'm interested if its considered closed. But other people that have been watching this for the last 4 kernel releases
I tried every Kernel in the 3.12.* line and my GPU is from the beginning stuck at 100%, no kernel parameter for the i915 modules seems to change that behavior, Im still running at 3.11.6 and everything is as expected. (50 degress) nicely going into Power and RC6
Could the mods please consider this as "not bumping" ...
I am running linux-3.12.7-2 on my T420 and the GPU goes 99% into RC6pp. I am only using the following parameters concerning the i915 modules:
CPU also goes into idle 99% of the time. Temperatures and power consumption are completely ok. So for me this bug has been fixed for quite some time now.
I'm using the X220 with an SB i7 and the problem has appeared fixed for quite some time now, too.
Hi! I am using a X220 i7, too and the problem seems to have returned.
While my CPU is perfectly fine now, no 100% or anything, my GPU is stuck at somewhere between 100% and 80%. Doesn't go down from there.. Even if I am not doing anything at all.
uname -a
Linux mybox 3.12.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 16 09:16:34 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I am using the X220 with i7, with kernel 3.12.9-2 i had 100% GPU usage all the time.
I am now using linux-lts version 3.10.29-1-lts which seems to have fixed the problem.
Huh, that's odd. x220t with i7-2620M on 3.12.9-2 as well, without any issues.

Prototype ONE
Prototype One's design idea is completely driven by the unique relaxation in shape and
pattern in a digital manner. The beauty of it is to let the software create the irregularity
in its form. The strong triangular shapes pierce itself through the metal piece, visually
creating a thinner form as if the piece is floating in space. With the layer of glass on top
of the stretched dipping silhouette, it made the table look elegantly fragile but strong in
its framework. By creating these relaxed surfaces in a digital format, the curvilinear
structure was aesthetically reconfigured to an appealing self-supporting structure that
not only meets its functions and strength but also implemented the visual illusion of
delicacy in its perforated skin.

So in my search for the best elliptical bike, I came across a new type of elliptical trainer.
I'm calling it a hybrid elliptical climber. It's like an elliptical trainer- with a climbing motion instead of a running motion on the bottom.
You still have the upper body arm bars to train and tone your arms and shoulders.
But the bottom feels more like you're climbing the stairs or a hiking up a cliff.
The advantage to this – supposedly – is that you burn more calories. Not surprising since climbing a mountain vs walking on a flat surface will do that for you.
This is an obvious choice if you're looking to burn fat faster in less time.
I think these machines probably do best around Christmas or New Years when everyone is doing those weight loss new years resolutions. But are they a good choice for you?
There are a few different types of these climbing elliptical trainers. Here's my take on them:
Bowflex Max Trainer
This is really the one that started off the craze. It came out about 3 years ago and took off. It's still one of the best-selling climbing elliptical trainers on the market.
There are 3 different types of trainers – the M3, M5 and M7. Each one is a different price point, but they start around $999, making them pretty affordable and easily comparable to elliptical trainer prices.
The M7 is the high-end model and has all sorts of fancy bells and whistles like a backlit console, online tracking programs and sleek racing pedals.
The M5 is the mid-stream model and would be my choice. You get more resistance than the M3 and a better console.
If you want to learn more including how the different models compare, then the Bowflex Max Trainer site here is a good resource.
Proform HIIT Trainer
This model came out some time last year and as far as I can tell is selling pretty well. However it doesn't have all of the weight loss success stories that the Bowflex Max has yet.
It's still kind of new for that. It also doesn't have the studies to prove it helps you burn more calories than a regular crosstrainer like the Max Trainer does.
There are 2 different models – the HIIT and the HIIT Pro. Prices start around $1299 and the Pro model is about $500 more with a few more fancy toys including a full-color console.
The only thing I didn't like about the HIIT trainer was that you don't get the specially made high intensity interval workouts built-into the machine like you do with the Max Trainer. You have to get an online subscription to iFit LIVE and pay extra for them.
In my opinion, that kind of defeats the purpose of buying the machine.
In any case, that's a recap of the two climbing elliptical trainers on the market right now. I suspect that this Christmas we'll probably hear about other models coming out – especially with the success of the Bowflex Max.
If you do decide to get one of these trainers, take your time and do your research first as each one is a bit different from the next one.
I personally prefer the ability to ride a bike – or elliptical trainer. So they're not for me. But they are pretty interesting and I wonder if they are the next "big thing" in the fitness equipment world.

no longer mount the fuel regulator on the end of the fuel rail as
high spec engines sometimes create vibration which was causes issue
with the fuel rail, due to the weight of the regulator. We now recommend

Leather Furniture Cleaning Tips
Leather is considered one of the most luxurious materials. Although it is quite durable there are certain limits where leather becomes dirty and worn. Today we are going to explore methods of cleaning the leather furniture pieces.
Leather Furniture Maintenance Tips
First of all, leather furniture needs constant maintenance, which could be started with regular dusting and cleaning with a soft cloth at least once in two weeks. Vacuum cleaning of the furniture piece should be done at least once a month, to ensure that the dust is not collecting in the crevices of a furniture piece.
If something was spilt onto leather furniture, remove the liquid immediately, as later on it can blot and cause much trouble. Mold can accumulate and spread in the chair, ruining it from the inside. For that matter, you should also avoid using soaps, detergents and other liquid cleaning materials. Instead, opt for leather-friendly conditioners and polishes.
The grease stains could be removed with a soft cloth, while the ink stains could be removed with cotton cloth dipped in alcohol. If there is a dark stain on beige leather, you can remove it with a simple mixture. Mix equal parts of a lemon juice with tartar sauce and apply the solution directly to the spot with a damp cloth. Then remove it with a clean cloth and make sure the leather is dry.
If, for some reason, you do have mold on your leather furniture – there is a way to deal with it. Make a mixture using a small amount of Castille soap and water. Then, wipe the leather chair with this mixture. Remove soap, once the mold is off, with a clean cloth and eventually dry the spot with a soft towel. To prevent the mold spores from flying around, spray some water around the chair.

Calzaghe attacks Carl Froch
Joe Calzaghe has seemingly become annoyed with Carl Froch's rising popularity amongst the boxing fans since he retired.
In a recent interview with City AM magazine, he told Frank Dalleres that he thought Froch moaned to much.
He won a title that I gave up and hasnt stopped bitching about everybody. Because hes not making as much money and not getting on TV I think hes bitter against the whole world." said Calzaghe, coming across slightly bitter himself.
Froch has made no secret of his frustrations with TV exposure, declaring that tax payers should be allowed to watch himself and boxing in general, on the BBC. But the 32 year old fighter known as the Cobra has never made an issue about money, stating many times that it's not his motivator - that it's only the big fights he craves and not financial reward or fame.
Whilst it's true that Froch did pick up the title vacated by Calzaghe, in fairness the Nottingham Super middleweight chased Calzaghe through the media for two years for a showdown, before eventually fighting his way up the WBC rankings into the mandatory position.
Froch had backed Calzaghe into a corner whereby he either fought him or vacated it.
When purse bids were called between Calzaghe and Froch by the WBC, the Welshman immediately vacated, despite maintaining that he would be back at 168lb after his 'money fight' with Bernard Hopkins in America.
However the WBO, upon reading about Calzaghe vacating the WBC title, put their title up for grabs again, assuming the Welshman had vacated that too.
However Calzaghe issued a public statement declaring that he would not be vacating the WBO title as he intended to defend it again.
Later Calzaghe stated that he could no longer make the weight, despite weighing in over 2 pounds less than the limit for his unification with Kessler and was several pounds short of the light heavyweight limit during his two fights there.
"Hes like a spoilt little bloody bitch, said Calzaghe of Froch, whilst discussing Froch's desire to be seen on terrestial TV again.
"I dont mind saying that either, thats OK, keep that in there. Hell like that one." said Calzaghe.
Froch has been criticised for bringing Calzaghe's name into interviews in the past.
But upon Calzaghe's retirement sinking in, the unbeaten super middleweight has not mentioned him. Froch even wished Calzaghe well and that he'd achieved a great deal and had nothing left to prove.
So it's confusing why Joe Calzaghe has re-ignited the war of words for no reason, especially given that only a couple of months ago he was wishing Carl Froch the very best of luck in the Super Six tournament and that he would be hoping he wins for British boxing.
Could it be that Calzaghe is looking to make a return back to British boxing now his dancing career is thankfully over ?
With an impending court case with £3m of Calzaghe's money in the balance, maybe he now fancies that fight with Froch.
"Its a big difference between 47-0 and 46-1. If I did lose, that one loss would destroy everything Ive done; Id never forgive myself. Why would I want another fight? Itd mainly be for money thats the wrong reason." said Calzaghe.

Ebay has confirmed that it has sold nearly two thirds of Skype to a group of private investors for $1.9 billion in a deal that values the VoIP company at around $2.75 billion.
This is around 11 percent lower than the total outlay of $3.1 billion that Ebay paid to acquire Skype in 2005 and Ebay is still keeping a minority stake of 35 percent.
The auction powerhouse was forced to write off $1.4 billion off the value of the outfit after it became clear that Skype wasn't a natural fit for Ebay.
According to AllthingsDigital, the new owners of Skype are Silicon Valley-based private equity group, Silver Lake; London-based VC firm, Index ventures; Andreessen Horowitz fund featuring the man behind Netscape, Mark Andreessen; and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Investment Board.
It is another major coup for Andreessen, one of the most influential figures of Silicon Valley. Netscape's cofounder has also invested and helped a number of high profile start-ups including Digg, Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook.
4 Reasons Why Skype Divorcing Ebay Is Good For Both
John Donahoe, eBay's CEO, publicly stated back in April that Skype would be a great standalone business and there were rumours that company might be flogged back to its original founders especially as they had planned to take Ebay to the courts over licensed P2P technology used by Skype.
Back in February 2008, Jason Calacanis revealed to the audience of week in tech (TWIT) that Google was looking to buy Skype for a sum that would leave Ebay with a profit.
A person closed to the negotiations confirmed to the NY Times that this took place last month but ultimately, Google gave up because it might cause prejudice to Android, which the search giant is trying to marketing to mobile phone operators.
Our Comments
The news appears to have been given some hope to Ebay shareholders; the share price of the company jumped to more than $23 earlier today. This is more than double the price the shares fetched back in March this year but is still half what it was worth back in January 2006..

Sometimes the game crashes, as it happens with practically all the programs, I can understand and accept it. The problem is that after such a crash it is impossible to restore the streak, though in case of loss you can pay the penalty and continue it.
I understand that it is practically impossible to distinguish between real crash and forced by cheating user crash, I can even understand that it could be difficult to record the score right before the crash (to see who was indeed winning to keep fair game play approach). But such real crashes do not happen often, so why not to let user count it as a loss? For example, my streak was slightly above 700, and I would gladly pay the penalty (less than 100 gems) even after such a crash (I did not have any crashes from May, when the version after update became unstable, but it was fixed almost immediately)!
I've actually had 7 streak crashes now and. Losing my streak is the thing i find most annoying about pvz2 and should be made a priority once they've sorted out the bEAgs 🐛(pronounced bugs).
All i can suggest is that you have a stable Wi-Fi connection, charged up device and you close down any background programs as pvz2 is quite ram hungry and running out of ram can cause a crash.

8th streak crash.
Can't remember what number i was on (150ish) but i was on the 2x multiplyer.
Nothing happened, didn't lose, didn't crash, have good connection and even shut down other apps to save ram yet i just opened up battlez and it had reset for no reason. WTF EA?
Running out of RAM can cause a crash ?
How is that possible ? How could it be addressed seeing as there are so many varieties of devices in use !!
The crashes happen to me whenever an ad appears, like immediately after a Battlez match. I contacted EA about it last week, and they act like its not the problem, though I believe it is.There is also a problem with coins and gems growing in huge numbers. They asked me to uninstall and reinstall the game, and they changed again.
You've got the resources doubling bug🐛, which is great at first and they are working on it.
I'm lucky in that it only hit me once.
I was really angry yesterday, the loss of 8x multiplier was a big deal (I only had once 2x multiplier before for a short time). I had less that 100 gems penalty with ~1000 to spare. WIFI was perfect, phone was fully charged, the game simply crashed... But indeed I had 2 other programs running, Chrome and Telegram. It did not make a lot of sense to me to close everything else when you play PVZ2.Probably, if I will ever get to good multiplier, I will try to remember that advice, thanks..
EA assumes that crashes cannot happen in their 100% reliable programs, in the result they do not take any steps to handle them. But even loss of WiFi or data connection, dead battery, or even accepting some video Skype call can easily stop, crash or unload the program. And that case is absolutely obvious, so I do not understand why EA treats us so poorly..
I don't know why my streak crashed for the 8th time, i just opened up battlez and it had gone.
I've heard of people losing streaks merely from getting a phone call mid match.
It's ridiculous that with all the data pvz2 saves such as coins, plant levels, plant purchases etc. then it can't remember such an important piece of data such as a streak number.
If you complain to EA HELP CENTER you might get some gems as compensation.
All i can suggest is that if you're an American 🇺🇸 then put them up for another golden poo award for being America's worst company.
Anyone remember Ender's Game ?
You did not hear this from me but EA is really a secret government division (hence the poor customer support) working on a program to find the most patient and persistent players around the world...
Can not tell you why else I would have to terminate you.

With her win, Scott now becomes a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year award, which will be announced later this month.
She is in great company. There are many world-famous track stars who have won this award for their respective states. This list includes the likes of Lolo Jones, Robert Griffin III, Allyson Felix, Grant Fisher and Candace Hill.
Scott has been nothing short of amazing on the track throughout her career at Dutchtown. She leaves with eight individual state titles and four state runner-up finishes.
She capped off her high-school career with a sensational senior campaign in 2018.
Before the season even began, she competed at the USATF Hershey National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships at Kansas University in Lawrence.
Nearly 10,000 of the country's best young track stars competed at the event.
In the 17-18-year-old girl's division, Scott finished third in the long jump with a measurement of 19 feet and 1.5 inches.
To begin the prep season, she won a long jump state title and finished as runner-up in the triple jump at the LHSAA Indoor Track Championships.
When the outdoor track season began, her dominance continued.
At the District 5-5A meet this past spring, Scott won district titles in three separate events: the long jump, triple jump and the 100-meter dash.
At the Region-II meet the following week, she won both the long jump and triple jump and was named the meet's Outstanding Field Performer.
Finally, to close out her high-school career, Scott competed at the LHSAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship at LSU. She won state titles in both the long jump and triple jump.
Her measurement of 40 feet and 1.25 inches in the triple jump was the best in the state this season, and it ranked her 47th in the nation.
Editor of Dyestate.com Erik Boal said that Scott is "one of the most consistent performers in Louisiana history. Scott achieved a career goal by finally surpassing 40 feet in the triple jump, challenging a 21-year-old state record in the process. She rebounded from a runner-up finish in the triple jump at the indoor state meet to sweep both titles outdoors and conclude her career with eight individual championships."
When it comes to the classroom, Scott has been just as successful. She graduated with a weighted GPA of 3.99.
And away from the classroom and the track, she has been a model citizen.
Scott has volunteered on behalf of the United Fellowship and Grace Community churches, the Red Cross, the Special Olympics and Holiday Helpers. She has also been an assistant with the Kleinpeter Veterinary Clinic, and she has participated in a Certified Nursing Assistant training program.
As a Gatorade Player of the Year winner, Scott will be able to select a national or local youth sports organization to receive a $1,000 grant as part of the Gatorade Pay it Forward program.
Joining Scott as a Gatorade Louisiana Track & Field Athlete of the Year was Lafayette's pole-vaulting world-record holder Armand "Mondo" Duplantis for the boys.

And they say that blogging doesn't get you anywhere!
Well for one young music obsessed duo it got them residencies at Space and The Warehouse Project for starters, but then these two guys are special, these two guys are Bicep.
Defiant purveyors of vinyl glory and the obscure brilliance to be found in the annals of dance music history Bicep have swept the globe over the last couple of years, destroying dance floors wherever they set down, completely different from anything else, completely inspiring, completely brilliant.
2017 saw them release their debut album and enter the live arena, both to universal acclaim meaning that as we kick off 2018 there isn't a bigger name in electronic music than Bicep.

San Francisco, CA -- Today, hundreds of activists are taking part in a Week of Action in grocery stores and public spaces across the United States, engaging shoppers and rebranding grocery store shelves to warn customers that products from PepsiCo's sub-brand Quaker may contain Conflict Palm Oil.
Activists are affixing stickers and placards to store food aisles to warn grocery store customers that they may be feeding their family Conflict Palm Oil. In addition, over a dozen activists have taken the lead to organize larger group actions, from street theatre to hanging banners, in Boston, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Stevens Point, WI, and Orange County and Arcata, CA.
The activists say that PepsiCo's palm oil commitment, and that of its sub-brands like Quaker, does not go far enough to prevent Conflict Palm Oil from appearing in its products. Conflict Palm Oil is linked with deforestation, habitat loss, climate change and human and labor rights abuses. The activists organized themselves to send a clear message to PepsiCo: "The time to eliminate Conflict Palm Oil from products is now."
The Week of Action marks the two year anniversary of a campaign to pressure PepsiCo, the largest globally distributed snack food company in the world, to cut Conflict Palm Oil from its supply chain.
The campaign is part of a growing national movement to expose the threat of Conflict Palm Oil. Lindsay Vanderhoogt, a 24-year-old activist leading an action in Boston, said, "Whether we like it or not, palm oil is a part of our everyday lives. Palm oil is in everything from the food we eat to the shampoo we use. It's practically inescapable and irresponsibly produced Conflict Palm Oil is affecting our world in a very negative way.
"I'm excited to tackle this issue with my community in Boston not only because Conflict Palm Oil is something that affects everybody, but also because ever since the American Revolution, Boston has been a national leader. It's time for America to step up and take a stand against Conflict Palm Oil, and what better place to do this than in the 'cradle of liberty'?" She said.
Rebecca Chung, a 16-year-old activist organizing a day-long event on Conflict Palm Oil in Orange County, CA, said, "I'm taking action in Orange County, because there's strength in numbers and education. I've always believed that if given an outlet to take action and given the information, the community would stand in solidarity against the injustices caused by Conflict Palm Oil."
PepsiCo is one of the "Snack Food 20" group of companies targeted by Rainforest Action Network's Conflict Palm Oil campaign. PepsiCo consumes more than 450,000 metric tons of palm oil annually for its snack food brands like Quaker, Doritos and others in the U.S., Mexico, Latin America, Asia and Europe, and its consumption of palm oil is on the rise.
Gemma Tillack, Agribusiness Campaign Director for Rainforest Action Network said, "PepsiCo is starting to take these issues seriously, but it is lagging behind its peers as it lacks a truly responsible palm oil policy. The requirements it currently has in place have critical gaps that must be addressed before PepsiCo can meet the new global benchmark for responsible palm oil procurement.
"For PepsiCo to meet consumer expectations, it must adopt a binding, time bound policy with an action plan that includes full traceability of palm oil back to its source and verifiable safeguards for human rights, forests and peatlands," said Tillack.
Growing pressure from activists continue to demand that PepsiCo prove that it has broken the link between its products and rainforest destruction, climate pollution and human and workers' rights violations.

My old school homie Arthur Groom hit me about some open KZSU spots a couple months ago and I managed to get two Sunday slots. I did a metal show for one (archive here) and Smooth Triumph and I did the 3rd installment of Ripped Open Radio for the other one. Outside of the danked confines of 66.6FM KOLD's studios, we were forced to play it cool, PSA's and all. The sound of rugged drums and street raps will always draw the most scrutiny from radio station personnel and this day was no exception. Once again we were, as Prodigy put it, "too hoodied to conform to the program." Squares just can't hang. I was also nursing one of my worst hangovers in recent memory. The last thing I remember from the night before was filling up keg cups and throwing them at The Feldmans while they were playing at Leech's wedding. This is Part 1 of the show. Sound quality here is pretty rough, but it ends up working in our favor. Even though we recorded this a month ago, it sounds like it's a 3rd generation dub from the 90's. Part 2 (aka side 2) and full playlist up next.

Northern Namibia via MarienflussThe access to the Marienfluss Valley is, however, quite tough, especially if one chooses to tackle the infamous Van Zyl's Pass. The Tour is only manageable in a well equipped 4x4 expedition vehicle. Coming from the Epupa Falls, one takes the D3703 from Okongwati on via Okauwe to Otjitanda, where the Van-Zyl's Pass starts. From Opuwo it goes via Etanga to Orjitanda. Even the access road to the pass is tough and the difficulties not to be underestimated. Onkongwati as well as Otjitanda are not villages, but only tiny Himba settlements, hence help or any service offers can be expected nowhere on the way.Although the actual pass is only a few kilometres long, the extremely steep rock staircase, covered with lots of course, sharp-edged rubble, through the Otjihipa Mountains can only be traversed at snail speed. It will take a couple of hours. The safari will only run on request as a private tour.
Client involvementThe degree of satisfaction and enjoyment you feel at the end of each day and the end of the trip will depend on you and your capacity to enjoy yourself. This capacity, combined with an active and enquiring mind and a willingness to participate, is essential for all our tours. If you wish to be pampered and amused with minimal effort on your part, then our tours are not for you. Participation is essential on all trips and everyone is expected to help with chores to ensure the smooth running of the tour. A degree of flexibility is also essential because of the nature of the parameters in which we have to operate. Overview: Namibia is a vast country dominated by the Namib Desert, an extensive inland plateau and stunning geological mountain ranges. From the lush, northern Caprivi Strip and the wildlife of Etosha National Park to the vast and unforgettable Namib Desert and the desolate Skeleton Coast; the destination has something to offer everyone.

B. Fleischmann
Frisky He Said 7"
"A supplement to the album The Humbucking Coil released by the Vienna based sound and songwriter Bernhard Fleischmann in February this year. Or should I say an echo? Because like the album this two-track-vinyl is also made of space, space to breath and space to grow. 'Frisky He Said' is a nearly meditative piano pattern, gradually surrounded by mister Fleischmann's typical clicking rhythm structures. 'Gain,' which was an alternative version from the version on The Humbucking Coil, starts with a minimal organ tune, followed up by a laid back guitar. Once more this reduced melody is completed by tricky adjusted beats. Digital and analogue, closely woven and wide open."

PIERS Morgan has slammed Cher for her revealing Billboard Music Awards outfits.
The legendary singer, 71, flashed her breasts in a risque silver ensemble as part of her performance at Sunday night's ceremony, where she won the Icon Award.
But despite it being her first awards show performance in 15 years, Piers was not impressed.
Speaking on today's Good Morning Britain, he said: "At what point do Cher's outfits become inappropriate? She's 70."
Co-host Susanna Reid said: "Oh yes because you have a cut off don't you? What is it... 59?"
Piers clarified it was 56, before highlighting Cher's silver outfit, which featured draped silver fabric and made it look like the singer was not wearing a bra.
While one breast had a pink heart nipple pasty over it, the other was hidden behind the flesh coloured fabric, and Piers said: "That one in particular, come on Cher for goodness sake love."
Most Read in TV Showbiz
But Kate Garraway, who was sitting on the other side of the 52-year-old, replied: "She's on stage! It's not like she's in the supermarket, it's different rules surely?"
Never one to back down, Piers continued: "She's a grandmother, it's like for goodness sake put it away, grow old gracefully, put them away."
Susanna and Kate both felt Cher was ageing "beautifully", but their co-host retorted: "I think her [plastic] surgeon's probably working over time."
When Susanna insisted she looked great at the Billboard Awards, Piers questioned her if she really believed what she was saying, adding: "You don't think 'toe-curling' 'cringing'... are you going to be doing that when you're 70?"
Susanna replied: "If I look like Cher..."
Having the final word, he said: "What happened to just being dignified in this country? Seriously."
But karma came quickly to Piers, as he got so animated about the situation he ended up spilling his hot tea on his leg.
As he gestured, the liquid jumped out of his mug, leading him to jump and Susanna look shocked.

We hope to have the Rod up and running in the next two weeks, just in time for the Bradner May-day Parade.
What's on our still to do list?
- Finish the last of the wiring items such as master cylinder brake switch, coil wiring, battery terminal and turn signal switch
- Install main carb linkage and Kick-down transmission linkage to carburetor
- Speedo cable
- Rear Fenders
- Rear view mirror
- Install new chrome oil pan
- All fluids such as Antifreeze, Rear-end oil, Transmission fluid
We are all looking forward to the first time we start the engine, it will be quite the celebration especially if we don't see any circuits shorting out. Although I personally enjoy 12 volt wiring, this has been quite the task. Despite the fact that this is a simple Rod I found out the there are many different ways in which to wire a vehicle. The, "It's a Snap" wiring kit should be called' "It's a Pain". They should have at least given better wiring diagrams; many diagrams sections were missing such as the brake switch and turn signals. Because it's a fiberglass body ground wires had to be routed and so we took special care in grounding the Rod. We took some good advice and ran a heavy ground wire from the battery which is located at the rear and ran it under the frame directly to the front of the Rod, then we ran a ground wire to the engine. Then we connected all lights, gauges and switches to that wire.
If you ever have a problem with 12 volt it will be because of the ground not being adequate or weak. In other words you can't count on the frame to make a good connection as a ground. Some parts just need a good solid ground to work efficiently.

OK. so, I am going to keep this short.
Lots to do, and only today as our last full day before the BIG SHOW tomorrow — and I've just spent the last 2 and a half hours sending out media advisories, clearing up some work related things and getting organized.
Not much time to write.
Feels like even less time to get ready for tomorrow's opening of our art show.
I am…
and I stop and rephrase myself.
I feel…. excited. hopeful. eager. worried. anticipatory. tired. a little bit overwhelmed. grateful.
And the reason I rephrased.
Those are the things I feel.
What I am is ME!
I am practicing mindfulness. How I feel is not who I am. How I feel is simply about the emotions flowing at any given moment — often transitory. Illusory.
How I feel is a reflection of what is happening in my life, what is going on at any given time.
Who I am is always ME. All of me. In all my emotions. Feelings and ways of being.
I am me.
the reason for the rephrasing is that I am teaching myself to not own my emotions — and thus to not give room for my emotions to own me. And in not owning them, allowing myself to honour what is present — in all its darkness and its light. Permanence and impermanence.
At any given moment any of a swathe of emotions may be present — in fear there is hope. in joy there is confusion. in love…
Well that's another matter. In Love there is only Love — In love there is nothing else to claim, be, desire, yearn for, want.
In Love, I am all of me.
I am Love and Love becomes me when I let go of being anything other than who I am, in Love.
So now I must get running because at this moment in time I feel the pressure of time ticking each moment away. I feel the limitations of a day with only so many hours and many things to get done.
Did I mention I am excited — wait. No. Let me rephrase. Did I mention that I am feeling excited?
Well I am.
Tomorrow is the opening of Artists Gone Wild Art Show & Sale.
The first art show mounted by The Basement Bombshells Art Collective. We (that would be Lynn, Tamara, and me as well as all the artists) hope you can come and visit. We'll have lots of beautiful art to explore — and lots of things people can buy to celebrate the mother in their life!
Do come and say hello. Do visit our FB page where we've been showcasing the works of all the artists — https://www.facebook.com/basementbombshells
and do — visit our website where you can learn more about each of the artists and the Basement Bombshells — http://www.basementbombshells.com
I hope to see you there — I will be situated just to the left of the doors as you come in.
And if you can't make it (I know not everyone lives in Calgary and area!) thanks for stopping by here and saying hello. I appreciate your presence everyday.
Love and blessings,

I am at the Whitehorse airport, waiting for the call to board. It was quite a busy day.
In the morning, there was church, where I accompanied the small choir on the piano during the French Easter mass. Michael and Jade came along, so Jade missed her morning nap, but she enjoyed visiting with everyone at the church, and they all seemed to enjoy her, too! Since she has decided to start walking, it means I can finally start putting her in dresses again. She has an adorable one from Gran that she got quite a while ago (it says 6-9 months on the tag) but she's never had a chance to wear it and it's just the right size now, not to mention the perfect pink for Easter.
After a short visit with the congregation at the rectory, we headed home for lunch and Jade's much-needed nap. Not that you would know it from the way she slept. She sang in her crib for about 45 minutes before finally falling asleep and sleeping only an hour. We took advantage of her short nap to make a fancy shmancy dish (mashed potatoes…) for the traditional Easter potluck at Lake Laberge.
We headed out for Linda and David's cabin in the early afternoon and arrived just in time to participate in egg-decorating, egg-hiding, and egg-hunting. Jade found about a dozen Caramilk eggs and a big plastic egg with goodies inside. For some reason she loves to hold the Easter eggs and didn't want to relinquish them to the Jade-sized basket she was given. She finally did give them up when we put her in the pint-sized rocking chair, which was occupied by three tiny plush bunnies. She happily rocked in the chair and hugged all three bunnies, getting slightly agitated whenever she dropped one.
We had to leave the festivities fairly early because of my flight to Vancouver tonight. Jade fell asleep in the car on the way home (no wonder!) much to Michael's chagrin. I kissed her goodbye at the airport, but was somewhat unprepared for how emotional I was. I know she's in good hands with Michael (and Norris as backup!) but I've been WITH her for so long now that I can't really believe I'm going to be away from her for four WHOLE days. Thank goodness she loves her Daddy so much, or I would feel even worse.
I've been looking forward to this trip for a while; I'm excited about the course I'll be taking, about visiting my godparents, about getting together with Selena, and of course about the shopping possibilities (but only for necessities, of course). I'm excited about just being *me* without worrying about having to plan meals for a toothless baby and actually getting to sleep a solid 8 (or more?) hours. But being away from Michael and Jade is taking the gild off things for a little while.
I'm safely ensconced at my hotel now. It's late and I'm tired. I think partly it's the emotional drain. As I walked to the airplane, I was conscious of every step taking me further and further from my baby. But the on-board entertainment distracted me enough that I didn't have to think about it, and with a quick phone call to Michael to confirm that everything's okay and that Jade went to bed without an ounce of protest, I feel much better. Now it's to bed for me, and ready for my course first thing tomorrow morning.

By Luis O. Marquez, FAHRA, CRA
April 2011–Recently I began training indoors on a treadmill for a marathon during one of those frigid arctic cold fronts in northwest Indiana. The Radiology Administration Certification Commission (RACC) and the Certified Radiology Administrator (CRA) journey are very much like a marathon. Marathons require training and long term planning. As with any training regimen, I was working on a specific training interval and working to meet designated time targets. As with any company, organization, and/or association, targets and benchmarks (whether short and/or long-term) are set in order to verify and meet its mission and objectives. The current state and process the RACC has recently undertaken with the CRA certification reminds me of the training regimen for a marathon.
The RACC is set to have another successful year. Therefore, the RACC has set short term and long term objectives for the CRA certification.
One of our short term objectives is to broaden our marketing campaign to target, capture, and engage a larger audience. ASRT Scanner recently featured an ad promoting the CRA credential, and this cross promotion has lead to a very positive response. Another goal is to create public awareness by developing a CRA certification demonstrating the organization's commitment to excellence. Our intent is to have the certificate displayed within the organization employing CRAs.
Our short term objectives will have a lasting effect on our long term goals. We currently have over 760 CRAs and our audacious long term goal is to have over 3000. The RACC has established the framework to assist us in accomplishing this goal. As monumental as our goal seems, it is very achievable. We must continue to set our sites on our goals and the actions leading us to our target. Bruce Hammond explained in last month's Link, the "attainment of critical mass will allow the RACC to be an advocacy force of its own, not dependent of trying to find coalition with organizations with divergent goals." We have set in motion our plan to reach our critical mass and hope to continue our vision into the future.
The RACC and the CRA have accomplished a great deal in the first nine years of their existence. Even with our accomplishments and setbacks, we continue to strive and set goals to further our credential. I see many similarities when I compare the RACC and CRA to a running a marathon. We must stay focused, set appropriate goals, and be determined.
As a marathon runner and RACC commissioner, it is not about the finish line but the rewards and accomplishments of the journey.
Luis O. Marquez, FAHRA, CRA is a 2011 RACC Commissioner. He works as director of imaging services at The Methodist Hospitals in Merrillville, IN. He can be reached at email@example.com

MacBook Pro Touch Bar – RagTime hangs at input dialogs
[Problem solved!]
We have identified problems under macOS 10.12.2 and 10.12.3, which only occur with the new MacBook Pro Touch Bar, other Mac computers are not affected. The symptom is that RagTime input dialogs, e.g. license dialog, export dialog, and other messages can make RagTime freeze and become non-operative.
It is about a problem in Apple's macOS 10.12 (»Sierra«) in conjunction with Touch Bar devices. We reported this problem to Apple (Bug#29754191, DTS#655238679 __raiseError...). We are in contact with Apple and hope that they will be able to correct this issue quickly.
Due to this problem, RagTime can currently not be used on Touch Bar devices. We are very much aware of the consequences and are working, together with Apple, on a solution for this problem. As soon as new information becomes available or a solution is scheduled, we will update this Tech Info.
Update 28 March, 2017: With the final version of macOS 10.12.4 this problem is resolved.

Our goal is a better life for everyone affected by mental illness. See how we make a difference
Your responsible clinician (RC) will think about which option is the best for your needs. From our experience a CTO is the most common option for people who have a mental Illness.
Guardianship is not often used. Most people will be able to get the care that they need in the community without the need for a guardian.
You are more likely to have guardianship instead of a community treatment order (CTO) if :
Guardianship means that you will have a guardian. A guardian may be someone from your local authority, such as asocial worker. A guardian may also be someone the local authority has chose known as a'private guardian.'This person could be a relative or friend.
Your guardian will have 3 legal powers. They can:
Guardianship may be a good option for you, if you:
Guardianship does not give anyone the right to treat you if you don't agree to it.
There are sometimes when your RC may give you leave of absence instead of a CTO. This would be if it is short-term leave. Short-term leave will usually be less than 7 days. The responsible clinician (RC) who is agreeing to leave will explain what you can do during that time.
They can agree to longer-term leave if they want to see how you get on out of hospital. If the RC wants to give you long-term leave they need to explain why they don't want to use a CTO or to discharge you. They might use longer-term leave to decide if you are ready for discharge.
A leave of absence is known as 'section 17 leave'. If you are in hospital under the Mental Health Act you cannot leave the ward whenever you want to. Your RC may let you have more leave every week for a few weeks. Leave of absence can last up to 1 month.
