2013 Atlantic City Airshow – Thunder Over the Boardwalk
An annual event sponsored by Greater Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce and, is aptly named "Thunder Over The Boardwalk". People come from 100′s of miles a away drive to the shore to watch one of the East Coast's best FREE events. The new date is June 26, 2013 begining at 10:30 a.m. and continuing throughout the day into the late afternoon, it's a FREE event on the beach and Boardwalk of Atlantic City, New Jersey. In the past, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa was the title sposnor but no longer is involved in that way.
This year Airshow features incredible aerobatic maneuvers, military and civilian pilots flying in formation. Look for solo routines and other amazing surprises, this is one of the most popular days of the year in Atlantic City and the Jersey Shore. Remember to book hotel rooms in advance this year as the Airshow draws 100′s of thousands of spectators annually! More Details
The 11th annual Atlantic City Airshow, "Thunder Over the Boardwalk" is coming Wednesday June 26, 2013, and by all accounts it is set to be another rousing success. City estimates put the crowd at somewhere in the area of 250,000 people so mark your calendars now. We'll update this post with all the details as they are available.

Atlantic City's airshow has become the second-largest beachfront airshow in the country, ranking behind only Fort Lauderdale's Air and Sea Show, which is typically held in the first week of May. Also, rumors are swirling regarding this years airshow headliner. The Navy's Blue Angels have expressed a strong interest in returning to AC after their special co-starring appearance with the Air Force's Thunderbirds in 2013, which celebrated the Blues' 62th anniversary.
Those directly in the know on the topic say that the Blues want to return because of the high level of hospitality and professionalism associated with "Thunder Over the Boardwalk" and also due to the uniquely long show line (industry-speak for the length of airspace that the crowd has access to) that AC's beach and Boardwalk present. While the usual land-based airshow typically uses a runway for a show line that is somewhere around 10,000 feet long (just under two miles), the four-mile strip of AC beach makes for a longer and thinner crowd line that in turn makes for more fun for the displaying pilots.
Atlantic City's reputation as an airshow city has also extended to the far North, as there is even interest on the part of Canada's Snowbirds Demonstration Team in flying next year's show. The Snowbirds are no stranger to Southern New Jersey, as they have flown at the Millville "Wheels and Wings" show in the last few years. No matter which US team pays a visit next year, the Snowbirds might still make an appearance, as they fly a handful of shows every year in the US, and they are often accompanied on the bill by an American jet team. Plan now to attend, you can research the tips for the Airshow in Atlantic City and watch your favorite thrills in the clear blue sky!

Negative Keywords
Big list vs Small List
6:21 pm on Mar 24, 2013
(gmt 0)
Can a VERY big list of well thought out negative keywords have a very positive impact on an account?
I read elsewhere of people using thousands of negative keywords to improve the performance of AdWords accounts and before I go off and do more research, I like to check in here first.
For instance, can a negative keyword have a positive impact even if it isn't showing up in the SQR (Search Query Report) or as it is now termed the MSQ (Matched Search Query through Analytics)?
We all know about the positive use of general negatives like job and resume and such (for non-job related sites) but will these type words have a positive impact even if they aren't actually driving those inadvertent clicks?
I think it would - because it would lower inappropriate impressions - which in theory will improve CTR and cost per conversion.
Agree or disagree? And why?
7:03 pm on Mar 24, 2013
(gmt 0)
Agree, because QS is primarily based on CTR, getting rid of irrelevant imps, helps.
7:55 pm on Mar 24, 2013

others (on another channel) seem to disagree that negatives have minimal to no impact on QS...
10:17 pm on Mar 24, 2013

Well let's use our heads and figure this one out... lets take a precise example and there are plenty of them.
1. You have a search term "Portsmouth Real Estate". and you are in Virginia selling Portsmouth, Va real estate.
2. When someone in Portsmouth, NH searches for Portsmouth Real Estate and your ad comes up "Portsmouth, Va Homes for sale and another realtors ad comes up "Portsmouth, NH homes for sale"... whose ad will normally get clicked.... of course if the person is really looking for real estate in NH... the won't click the Va ad.... so we just got an impression that's very unlikely to get clicked.. every time that happens.. "impression and no click".. your QS suffers a little bit more... not only that, I don't want him to click my ad and make me pay a dollar since he won't buy from me anyway... so not only did I lose QS score points it cost me a freaking buck cause I did not use negative keywords effectively... I should have all states but my own in the negative box.. so that alone is 51 negative keywords right off the bat... Make sense?
10:30 pm on Mar 24, 2013

Thanks TommyTX, logically I totally agree that this type of approach will improve the performance, hands down.
...however in your particular case, I don't think negatives would prevent the search from showing as the searcher didn't enter a state name - more like geotargeting would help but that's a different subject.
Marketing wise, yes, using negative state names in that general case makes a lot of sense.
Where I'm going with this is the going consensus (that I'm trying to confirm or disconfirm) seems to be that QS applies only to exact match queries, so negatives that eliminate broad match impressions don't apply.
1:40 pm on Mar 25, 2013

it simply comes down to CTR, as it appears you have already identified. I have run numerous experiments that shows data to backup the theory that improved CTR increases QS, and improved QS lowers CPC. Your original question was does a large negative list "...have a very positive impact on an account?"... According to my experiments I would say yes as I am defining "...a very positive impact..." as a lower cost with higher conversions. For instance... I have a DUI Attorney client located in LA, and when they came to me their average CPC for the LA County area was $46.00 a click... after I included a larger negative keyword list we saw an immediate reductions in CPC of $6.00 that first week. After continuing to make adjustments to their Ad Groups to make them more relevant and also restructering their ad variations we saw their QS increase 1-2 points for their main keywords and their CPC drop another $6.00 the following week as well.
hope this helps...

I've been seeing it too, for sure.
I've been picking off the bad ones for years and enjoying the benefits.
I always wondered if there was any data proving or disproving that pre-emptive negative keywords (those not found in detailed search query reports) also had a positive impact.
I'm trying to get some insight about the rifle-shot type of management where you are picking off negatives that you know vs the blindly eliminating tons of words that you don't see in query reports.
4:08 pm on Mar 25, 2013
(gmt 0)
It is more complicated than we're all saying, of course.
For exact match, for example, negs shouldn't matter.
And the QS shown is for the exact match version of your other match types, so there's data you don't see - your QS for a non-exact match.
Eliminating searches you know don't convert well enough, makes sense whether if affects QS or not.

Rodger that RF!
Other reading suggests there are at least 2 QS type metrics - that which is shown (like toolbar PR) and that which is what is really going on (much like what we learn in advanced backlink analysis).
Fortunately, we have a reasonably decent view of what we're told are the actual queries, and that presently isn't being obscured as much as it once was.
Thinking this through (with all your help of course) has brought me to think up an advanced negative test case which I'll be running to see if I can boost ROI.

Heh I've worked on accounts where I've run up against the limit on negative keywords (at one point it was 5000, not sure if it's changed - I don't work on that account anymore)
Part of the problem was really really broad terms that could mean one of a dozen things, and part was because the client had let it their display network campaign run pretty much on autopilot for years and years and there was a lot of cleaning up to do.

Where's eWhisper when you need him?

It seems there's two sides to this discussion - one is control and the other is QS.
As for control; negatives are amazing. We have many accounts with more than 100k negatives in them (and some are often 1 million - don't try this without the API). Google changed the negative keyword max from 5000 to virtually unlimited a while ago. These large negative lists are mostly for control - not for QS reasons.
From a control standpoint, you might use negatives to block ads from showing in one ad group so they show in another one. This is common when you have ad groups that are general (say website hosting); others that are discount based (cheap website hosting); and others that are specific (vps website hosting). By using your negatives to 'shape' which ad shows; your overall CTR and conversion rates should go up. In fact, if you don't use negatives in that situation, you will probably have some of the 'wrong' ads shown; and if someone is looking for a VPS, you never want to show them a general hosting ad. So using negatives for ad shaping based around what type of ad the end user should be seeing is essential in many accounts.
There are many ways you can control ad displays in this way; like some companies have absolute monthly budgets. So you might have an brand, exact, phrase match, and broad/modified broad campaigns. In this case, you'll spend all you can on your broad, exact, and phrase and use the broad to help you hit run rates. To make this work; you need all of your phrase match words as negatives in the broad campaign; and all your exact match words as negatives in the phrase campaigns.
For larger accounts, I'm a huge fan of the negative keyword lists as I often find that the negatives are not applied correctly to multiple campaigns. If you download your campaign negatives, and put them in a pivot table - look at how many negatives you have by campaign - seeing high level numbers can be enlightening.
From control to QS... So negative words won't directly affect individual word QSs as they are only calculated when the query matches the word. However, part of QS is overall QS for the account. What negatives will do is block these irrelevant queries so that you don't show for low CTR terms that don't matter for you, and then the entire account's CTR/QS will go up; which then indirectly helps a keyword's QS used in the auction. Its a bit convoluted, and since overall history isn't that huge of a deal for most accounts; the odds of you actually noticing negatives helping QS is pretty low.
So, I do find negatives are very important; but they are more essential from ensuring the correct ad shows for each query as opposed to trying to eek out slightly higher quality scores.

Looking at massive numbers of MSQ terms has been quite eye opening indeed. And this is on well managed (manual) accounts. We'll be seeing some nice performance improvements as a result of this deep dive I figured out how to do.
I also get to look at Marin data occasionally but I don't know the tool well enough - does Marin and other auto management tools automatically mine and apply negatives? Do you trust it?

Pretty much proprietary - some big houses claim they can see it - experience in looking at billions of words across various performance metrics is the thing that becomes valuable. Just keep looking.

If your account is in an MCC; you can easily get 0 click data.
If you run the search term report from the MCC; there's still the old option to include '0 impression' data' which will give you all the queries with 0 clicks but have impressions.

If you have nothing to do for a couple of hours, read this for a mind boggling argument on what is and what is not true on quality score.
Wow! That even made me weary about QS...But no matter what google says, I will never be convinced that Negative keyword used correctly will NOT indirectly raise the quality score of you entire campaign. IT WILL! Since we know for a fact that bad impressions will decrease, and CTR WILL increase... it has to since you are showing more ads that are more likely to get clicked... and if CTR goes up so will your QS.... its easily proven... Simply take any account with the QS averages pretty stable.. apply very careful and correct negative keywords.. a nd watch you QS overall go up... it will happen...

Didn't have time to read EVERY word of the article, but I find it funny that that the article title says "NEGATIVE KEYWORDS DO NOT AFFECT GOOGLE ADWORDS QUALITY SCORES"...yet the final comment by "Google Adwords Help" says..."Matthew Mierzejewski has also written a fantastic post on this topic and detailed how negative keywords impact Quality Score."...hmmm? Two articles that contradict each other? There wasn't a link to the latter so I could read that article...just found it humorous.
Taking all this in, and reviewing the original question again from chewy, I'm still of the belief that even though the QS of broad match terms are based off of it's exact match we would still see a slight increase in QS, OVER TIME, as our CTR would get better as we continue to add negatives as this would, as chewy stated earlier, "lower inappropriate impressions".

Hmmm... thanks eWhisper... just ran a report from here and also added a filter to remove all terms with clicks so I could simply see terms that have impressions with no clicks... I immediately saw 3 terms that have generated around 400 impressions each over the past 90 days that haven't generated a single click. 2 of them I can see need to have improved Ad Ranking, but one is a definite candidate for removal...Thanks!
@RhinoFish ...you were saying "I wish they'd have this available at the account level."...

It lets you select for the report, correct, but it's an external report, meaning you can't click a result and convert it into a negative keyword, you're not in the account when viewing the report, you're in exported data.
Still a very great tip from eWhisper!

Agree - very important to build comprehensive list.
Good tip: Whenever starting an account, people use the keyword tool to add correct keywords into account. Record all of the variations that are also NOT relevant to your account.
By putting these keywords in as negatives to begin with you will save time with ongoing optimisation & save lots of money along the way.

When the Lima Police Department created a Facebook page six
months ago, officers never imagined how quickly it would grow or how effective
it could be as a crime stopper.
Lima Police Sgt. Andy Green shared the Police Department's Facebook progress with City Council on Monday night.
Because of the page, the police department quickly has caught perpetrators of multiple crimes -- including a donation jar thief at Speedway and a Dollar General robber -- after posting photos and videos of unidentified suspects online.
"Without the Internet, we may not have caught those people," Green said. "And if we did, it might not have been as quickly."
Green said the Facebook page has helped the police department broadcast positive news the public hasn't heard. And it enables residents to send complaints or report crimes.
As of Monday night, more than 2,400 people liked the Facebook page. With people sharing posts, the reach can extend even further. Green said between April 6 and April 12, the page had 86,000 views.
"It has produced benefits that I would've not guessed," said police Chief Kevin Martin. "I cannot take any credit for it. ... That was entirely Sgt. Green's initiative."
The Facebook page will continue to expand, with the LPD detective bureau and street officers utilizing the page. The Police Department recently created a Twitter account, too.
"There's no perfect tool," Martin said. "It's one of many tools, but it has already proven to be a valuable tool for us in terms of trying to solve crimes that have occurred."

The 124-room Aloft Harlem offers a stylish stay for a good value -- a trademark of its brand. Modern, streamlined design throughout the property merges with playful, music-oriented details that give the spaces character. Rooms feature free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and luxurious Bliss toiletries, as well as cool design features. The hip on-site bar has a billiards table, and the fitness center is large and modern (though shared with apartment residents). Though the Harlem location is some distance from New York City's main tourist sights, this part of the neighborhood offers many excellent restaurants, galleries, and performance spaces, including the iconic Apollo Theater just one block away.
The owner -- and namesake -- of this two-room property comes from France and caters largely to her compatriots. Michelle resides in the basement apartment while her guests have the first floor to themselves. The two rooms are comfortable and bright, overlooking either a quiet brownstone-lined block of Harlem or Michelle's private backyard garden. Only the front room -- named after John Lennon -- has a private bathroom. The other (named for James Dean) has access to a bathroom in the hallway. There are no other amenities on-site, but the overall homey vibe, solid rates, and proximity to the famous Apollo Theater make this an attractive B&B option in New York City.
La Maison d'Art is a true hidden gem, located on a brownstone-lined street in Harlem. This individualized boutique has just five rooms on-site, and each one is beautifully curated -- much like the gallery space housed on the first floor of the property. An ever-changing array of paintings and sculptures line the walls, making each stay unique. The gallery itself is open to the public and also hosts art-centric events throughout the year. The rooms are sumptuously decorated, and feature kitchenettes or full kitchens. There are no other amenities on-site, nor is there an elevator, but the homey, artistic vibe and welcoming staff make this property worth seeking out.

Town Hall Talk
As Council Leader, one of the most important regular meetings I attend is 'the Executive'.
In fact, I chair the meeting, and the October meeting is coming up.
Burnley Council's big strategic decisions, on things like our annual budget, are taken by the Full Council.
But the Executive is the leading regular committee, and makes most of the Council's decisions. As well as myself, the Executive members this year are Councillors Howard Baker, Bea Foster, John Harbour, Tony Harrison and Shah Hussain.
This month, key issues for us to look at include the IT strategy, to make sure the Council has the computer technology to do all the 'back office' work efficiently, and so that the trend of people arranging their services and raising issues through our website can continue.
Proposals to carry on improving standards in the private rented housing sector will be discussed.

Muhammad Yunus, Ph.D.
Muhammad Yunus, Ph.D.
"Banker to the Poor;" Founder and Managing Director, Grameen Bank; Nobel Peace Prize and U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom Winner
Travels from: United Kingdom • Fee Code: F
Fee may vary by location
What if you could harness the power of the free market to solve the problems of poverty, hunger, and inequality? To some, it sounds impossible. But Dr. Muhammad Yunus is doing exactly that. As founder of Grameen Bank, Dr. Yunus pioneered microcredit, the innovative banking program that provides the poor — primarily women — with small loans they use to launch businesses and lift their families out of poverty.
The success of Grameen Bank has been phenomenal and transformational. Today, it is a $2.5 billion banking enterprise in Bangladesh, while the microcredit model has spread to over 50 countries worldwide, from the U.S. to Papua New Guinea, Norway to Nepal. Ever optimistic, Dr. Yunus travels the globe spreading the belief that poverty can be eliminated: "...the poor, once economically empowered, are the most determined fighters in the battle to solve the population problem; end illiteracy; and live healthier, better lives. When policy makers finally realize that the poor are their partners, rather than bystanders or enemies, we will progress much faster that we do today." Dr. Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009.
Dr. Muhammad Yunus's vision is the total eradication of poverty from the world. "Grameen," he says, "is a message of hope, a program for putting homelessness and destitution in a museum so that one day our children will visit it and ask how we could have allowed such a terrible thing to go on for so long."
For many years, the ground breaking work of Dr. Yunus and Grameen Bank has become known throughout the world. Grameen Bank's microcredit program has been replicated in nearly every country; Dr. Yunus' vision and mission are now internationally known, and his ideas and philosophy have become part of gobal development policy. With humility and conviction, Dr. Yunus shares his powerful message with audiences around the globe and reveals the unique and extraordinary methods he developed – and continues to-- to combat human despair, promote sustainable development, engender social responsibility in individuals as well as government and corporate entities and ultimately achieve his goal of a poverty-free world.
Selected Discussion Topics Include:
- Social Business: Profit with Purpose
- Creating a World Without Poverty
- Achieving Sustainable Development
- The Role of a Global Society
ABOUT Muhammad Yunus, Ph.D. (+/-)
Vanguard in Financial Innovation
It began with a simple $27 loan. After witnessing the cycle of poverty that kept many poor women enslaved to high-interest loan sharks in Bangladesh, Dr. Muhammad Yunus lent money to 42 women so they could purchase bamboo to make and sell stools. In a short time, the women were able to repay the loans while continuing to support themselves and their families. With that initial eye-opening success, the seeds of Grameen Bank, and the concept of microcredit, were planted.
A Life Mission to Eliminate Poverty
Instead of settling into a comfortable life in academia, Dr. Yunus continued to pursue his microloan experiment based on a simple, strong belief: extend credit to poor people and they will help themselves. This concept strikes at the root of poverty by specifically targeting the poorest of the poor, providing small loans (usually less than $300) to those unable to obtain credit from traditional banks. In 1983, he officially founded Grameen Bank -- meaning "village bank"—and has empowered thousands of people and surprised economic experts who never believed that the very poor would find the initiative and ability to repay even the smallest amounts. Since its inception, Grameen Bank has garnered an astonishing loan repayment rate of over 98 percent, a recovery rate higher than any other banking system.
Exceptional Economic Expert
Born in 1940 in the seaport city of Chittagong, Dr. Yunus studied at Dhaka University in Bangladesh, and later received a Fulbright scholarship to study economics at Vanderbilt University. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Vanderbilt in 1969, and the following year became an assistant professor of economics at Middle Tennessee State University. Returning to Bangladesh, Dr. Yunus headed the economics department at Chittagong University until founding Grameen Bank in 1983.
World-Renowned Humanitarian
Dr. Yunus is the recipient of numerous international awards for his ideas and endeavors including: the World Food Prize; the lndependence Day Award, Bangladesh's highest award; the King Hussein Humanitarian Leadership Award; Franklin D. Roosevelt Freedom Award; the Seoul Peace Prize; and the Eisenhower Medal for Leadership and Service. He is also a member of the board of the United Nations Foundation.

All quotes tagged Curiosity
(223 quotes found)
"MUMMY, n. An ancient Egyptian . . . handy, too, in museums in gratifying the vulgar curiosity that serves to distinguish man from the lower animals."
"We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that a savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter."
"Curiosity is the essence of human existence and exploration has been part of humankind for a long time. The exploration of space, like the exploration of life, if you will, is a risk. We've got to be willing to take it."
"The speculatist, who is not content with superficial views, harasses himself with fruitless curiosity; and still, as he inquires more, perceives only that he knows less"
"He still is something of a curiosity piece. We don't know any more than you do and we're just taking it a day at a time with him. We know he's tall. We know he's got great hands. We know he's fast and we love his competitiveness and his confidence. But we're just going a little slow because it's a huge change for him."
"What terrible questions we are learning to ask! The former men believed in magic, by which temples, cities, and men were swallowed up, and all trace of them gone. We are coming on the secret of a magic which sweeps out of men's minds all vestige of theism and beliefs which they and their fathers held and were framed upon."
"Culture is. . . properly described not as having its origin in curiosity, but as having its origin in the love of perfection; it is a study of perfection."
"At first it was all a bit of a local curiosity. People would come to see these strange-looking birds that reminded them of ancient Egypt. But it's long since stopped being a joke. There are simply too many of them."

|Total (w/tax)
Book Description:
A changing sociopolitical climate that demands tougher treatment of criminals and the growing activism of grassroots groups fighting for victims' rights have spawned important major developments in legislation and criminal justice policies regarding victims' experiences and viewpoints concerning their victimization. These developments have created opportunities for victims of crime to participate in the criminal justice process. To understand the total criminal case, it has become increasingly important to examine the relationship and interaction between criminals and their victims. This collection of twenty-one essays presents illuminating theoretical and empirical studies that focus on various kinds of victimization. The editors provide readers with a balanced sample of works and a valuable introduction to this relatively new and evolving discipline. Also available by David Shichor from Waveland Press: Shichor, The Meaning and Nature of Punishment (ISBN 9781577663874) and Shichor et al., Reflecting on White-Collar and Corporate Crime: Discerning Readings (ISBN 9781577666899).

My so-called artwork isHERE and my so-called writing is Here
i'm just..
i cant believe this
i really hope she's not friends with these bitches anymore.. i want to slit their fucking throats…
I'm only 4 minutes in and I don't know if I can stomach the rest of it.
the indian girl did not even care omg this ended nicely
this was stupid instantly. i cannot believe how ignorant these people are, holy shit.
i knew when she said "i had two friends over yesterday, one indian one and one regular one" that this was going to be bad, but dear god what is WRONG with themThis makes me so angry.
"She's from India, it's like an African country in Asia."
This fuels my rage
Sadly enough, some adult professionals aren't any better. One of my best friends in medical school, also Indian and Hindu, was similarly accosted by her preceptor at the end of a Community Medicine clerkship.
And things like that "regular" comment have become a running joke for us non-white members of my med school class after one of our classmates remarked about European diets being "normal" compared to the rest (a.k.a the MAJORITY) of the world.
But I have to pray. I will pray that ignorant and narrow-minded buffoons like these "regular" idiots and quite possibly their parents buy a clue and stop embarrassing the entirety of Christiandom with their half-assed proselytizing and poorly veiled xenophobia and prejudices.

There is nothing about this I don't like.

LMAO. Heavy lifter is the BEST
The Great Descender…so accurate
this made me laugh hard
I have known them all, except the deceiver :P
Yep… I lost count of how many deep abdominal palpations I endured during clinical skills' basic abdominal exam practice session >_<
So I was bored as hell and started playing on Pinterest last night and stumbled into this. I honestly can't believe the shit this woman is spewing and it just shows a lack of self respect, forget respect for others. Well, you know something? No one has ever said I had sense enough to walk away…
I'm amazed at how utterly clueless this Chrystal is. Firstly, pregnancy is often the only safe way for a woman to exit mob/gang-culture. I'll admit to being somewhat ignorant on the nuances of the Yakuza but I imagine it's a universal taboo to exact vengeance on a woman who is carrying the offspring of a fellow member. In short, having this baby may have been this woman's only option. Not that that matters, because her reasons for having a baby out of wedlock are nobody's fucking concern. She had a baby, and a beautiful baby at that, and she clearly loves that baby- she may have even married the father, or another man, but it doesn't matter because it's her life and she's making the best of it after a life that must have been difficult. That's inspirational. That is truly kickass.
Secondly, the concept of the "normal" nuclear family has really only been around for a hundred years or so. Prior, marriage was more of a business transaction arranged by men as means of a transfer of property (the woman) from the previous owner (her father) to a new owner (her husband)- hence doweries, etc The woman was her husband's property… thus her children were also his property.
Furthermore the concept of a bastard applies mostly to old inheritance laws- an illegitimate firstborn could not inherit his father's property because he did not come from his father's own property. So while ye nobilitie of old may have had serious issues with it, the modern era (i.e. the one we live in) really has no issues with it. Additionally, most of those laws no longer apply because, you know, we live in the future now.
The point I'm making is that citing archaic property law is hardly a decent reason for bashing two perfectly rational people who decide to remain unwed even if they had the audacity to produce children. We have child support for that now if the father decides to duck his responsibilities (which Robin assured you he did not). We also write wills for that now. Glory be, I could even will my belongings to that nice hobo who walked me to my car once- I don't gots to birth him or adopt him or nothing.
I find it baffling that any woman could espouse these terrible times- where a woman couldn't even voice an opinion contrary to her husband, where a woman was not permitted to vote or earn money for herself, where a woman could be beaten and raped at the whim of her owner and systemically denied any recourse- as being the ideal we should strive for and then attack children with a term that has no legitimate bearing on modern society other than being used to hurt the very people she claims to be advocating.
So in short- it's kind of hard to hear Chrystal all the way from the nineteenth century. I wonder how she was even posting on Pintrest. Maybe she has a time machine.
You know I love you for reasons! >.<
As someone that Chrystal would consider a "bastard", I really, really hold the hope in my heart of hearts that people like Chrystal are just part of the very nutty, very stupid, and unfortunately very,very,very loudly vocal minority of "christians" that promote that sort of hateful, antiquated vitriol. It may just be me, but… I don't think that's how the "love one another as I have loved you" advise works.

Florence and the Machine frontwoman Florence Welch is going to have a hard time topping this recent high. During one of their super-talked-about 50th celebration shows, The Rolling Stones were joined on stage by the songstress, who added her flare to Gimme Shelter.
Sure Welch has previously teamed up with heavyweights such as Josh Homme and Drake, but Mick Jagger is some next level shit. It would have been interesting to have been a fly on the wall when Welch received the phone call to perform, but I digress. The performance was captured on a fan's camera, and if anything, Welch's vocals dominate those of Jagger.
The performance is nothing but sexy. Those legs, those moves…and Welch doesn't look half bad either. The gig, which was held at the iconic O2 arena, is the 2nd show of the tour. The first took place earlier this week and featured a guest appearance from Mary J. Blige, according to Consequence of Sound.
The Stones now make their way through to the USA for two shows, and Australia…well, we will have to wait and see.

Editor's note: This is the debut piece from our newest staff writer, Fletcher Keel. Fletcher is also the editor over at Wave the Red Towel, FanSided's site dedicated to Western Kentucky athletics. Welcome, Fletcher!
Today, the Atlanta Braves partook in split-squad action, as the Braves starting outfield traveled to take on the Houston Astros, while the infield stayed in the Wide World of Sports to host the Detroit Tigers for the third time this spring.
In Orlando, the Braves and Tigers played 10 innings of scoreless ball that was started by Alex Wood (2 innings, 3 hits, 2 K's). Luis Avilan and Corey Gearrin were two more of the combined 8 pitchers to take the mound for Atlanta, and the staff combined to only allow nine base runners.
Offensively, there isn't much good to speak of aside from Freddie Freeman's 2-for-3 day, along with Jose Constanza's 1-for-2 day. Dan Uggla, Chris Johnson, Joey Terdoslavich and Andrelton Simmons all went 0-for, but only struckout a combined single time. Whatever silver lining that shows.
Over in Osceola County Stadium, four Braves crossed the plate – Jason Heyward, Jordan Schafer, Cedric Hunter, and Edward Salcedo – in a losing effort, falling to the 'Stros 7-4. David Hale got the start for Atlanta, and David Carpenter, Yunesky Maya, Lay Batista, Carlos Perez and David Bromberg all getting innings in, while Hale ultimately would get pinned with the loss, going 2 innings and giving up 2 hits and 2 runs, although only one was earned, and he struck out three. Everyone who pitched, aside from Bromberg, allowed at least one run, and if even a single other pitcher joins him (especially either Hale or Perez, who both gave up 2), then the Braves are winners. But no time to place blame.
Several guys had good days at the plate, as Heyward went 1-for-3, Schafer went 2-for-3, and Tommy La Stella went 2-for-4, which even in spring, will be a more than welcome site for Braves fans.
The record this spring may have some Braves fans scratching their heads and/or incredibly unhappy, but guys are getting in good work, and the fellas that need to be productive (Freeman, Heyward) are doing so, and the guys who need to work on things (Uggla, La Stella) are doing that as well. C'mon, just a single strikeout for Uggla? We should throw a parade.
By any means, the Braves are back in action tomorrow afternoon to take on the also winless New York Mets at Champion Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05, and we will see Freddy Garcia throw for the second time this spring.

cleaning your multi-function switch (LOTSA pics)
cleaning your multi-function switch (LOTSA pics)
Failing multi-function switch symptoms include clicking sounds and flickering instrument-cluster lightsoften turn-signals. In my case, the daytime running lamps were flickering and clicking. I initially thought it was a faulty relay. It seems that over time, the dielectric grease inside the switch, thins out and runs, creating false connections between the copper contacts within the switch.
This post will also be helpful for:
a) safely disconnecting your airbag
b) changing your ignition switch (common on 97s)
c) hazard switch
d) removal of the steering column trim
e) removal of instrument cluster bezel
f) removal of sound insulator panels.
Cleaning the contacts is recommended before replacing the switch. Why? The switch is approx $200.
*NOTE: I didnt take the pics while taking things apart, I took them as I was putting things back togetherso, dont let that confuse you.
*NOTE: this is a good time to take a toothbrush and brush the dust and crud out of all the trim pieces
Here are the tools youll need:
ratchet and extension, 7mm and 4mm socket, T25 and T10 torx, T25 torx bit (this is a MUST unless you want to pull your whole steering wheel and airbag), Q-Tip (15mm), piece of wood (yes! a piece of wood--I used an old hammer handle that had been cut off), hammer, 10mm wrench, ¼ inch wrench, Phillips screwdriver
the T25 torx bit is a MUST because its length is short and youll need it to fit in a very tight space. A ¼ inch wrench fit my bit perfectly to turn it.
a) roll down drivers side window.
b) disconnect negative battery cable from battery.
c) remove the airbag fuse from the fusebox.
fuse box
Using the 7mm and the T25 torx, begin to remove:
a) both the left and center, black sound-insulator panels
b) the interior-colored knee-bolster under the steering column
c) your interior-colored consumed tobacco-product deposit canister (ashtray)
NOTE: Remember which screws go where. Remember how the trim pieces fit together and overlap.
NOTE: Underneath by the E-brake pedal, you may need to remove screws and pay-attention to your OBD-II socket AND your remote door-lock if applicable (youll figure it out when you see it)
NOTE: I never needed to remove the E-brake release handle. I just let it hang there.
left black sound-insulator panel
interior colored knee-bolster
center black plastic sound-insulator panel
once you remove the screws, just let the knee-bolster hang there. There is no need to completely remove it. (This pic shows the knee-bolster hanging. The pic was taken further along in the removal process).
Remove the instrument-cluster bezel with Phillips screwdriver. There are two screws. Disconnect 4WD switch if applicable. Gently tug at it and the bezel will simply pop out. Use your tilt-steering if necessary to pull the bezel out.
note the friction clips
4WD switch
Theres no need to disconnect any switch on the left-side dash (headlights, defrost, rear-wiper, dimmer, etc. Simply pull the bezel off the steering column and move it out of the way. I used my door to support it while keeping it out of the way.
another angle
Disconnect the airbag. Theres an orange safety and then, the bright-yellow clip. Its tricky to get to, but, with persistence, it will disconnect.
Heres the bright-yellow airbag connection
Here it is with the orange safety removed
now pull the connector (pic shows connector removed)
Remove two screws from the lower steering column plastic cover. The middle hole doesnt do anything. Use your tilt-steering to give you easier access. (The pic shows knee-bolster still connected. It will be hanging down when you get to this step.)
a) tilt-steering handle (it just pulls rights off!)
b) key-tumbler trim (with screwdriver)
c) rubber trim under key-tumbler
just pull it !
GENTLY pry the key-tumbler trim with a screwdriver. Next, the rubber trim under the tumbler will slide upwards.
another pic after the steering column trim is removed to show the tumbler trim
Remove the lower steering-column trim piece. Note how it connects to the top piece on the backside.
Heres how the top and bottom fit together on the backside. Its like a little hinge.
Heres the bottom piece by itself.
Remove top steering-column plastic piece. There are two screws that hold the top piece in place and come up through the bottom-side. They are a male torx and need a torx socket. I didnt have this type of socket but a 4mm socket worked perfect.
The one on the left is easy.
The one on the right is extremely hard to see, but not too difficult to reach with an extension. You can see it by looking through the plastic around the tumbler. Watch that you dont drop it inside the steering wheel like I did! Had to retrieve it with a magnet.
Remove the two T25 torx screws that attach the multi-function switch to the steering-column.
The top one is easy.
Heres how I got to the bottom one. Use the ¼ wrench on the T25 torx bit.
Your multi-function switch will now come off the steering-column. There is no need to disconnect the electrical connections to the harness.
Now, remove the four T10 torx bits on the cover. BE CAREFUL HERE. THERE ARE VERY SMALL SPRINGS INSIDE THE SWITCH. OPEN THE COVER SLOWLY. NOTE HOW IT COMES APART.
Heres the cover removed. Note the button with the spring coming out. Note how the Y plastic fits in and moves within the slot.
With the cover off youll be able to clean the copper contacts underneath the white plastic piece. THE WHITE PLASTIC PIECE DOES NOT COME OUT. Simply reach behind it with a Q-Tip and clean the grease. Mine need about 10 Q-Tips! I didnt re-grease because it wasnt possible to apply the grease exactly where it should be. Rather, I cleaned with the Q-Tip but tried not to completely remove the grease.
Re-install multi-function switch cover.
Youll need to work the handle and the switch and make sure its working the way it should. When it is apart, the gears at the base of the handle get misaligned. The wipers and mist functions should all move and click appropriately. Youll understand this when you see it. It takes some patience to make it all fit together while re-installing the T10 torx screws.
Your switch is now clean. Installation is the reverse of removal.
You may want to re-connect your negative battery wire and test. Id still recommend staying clear of the air bag. If all works well, disconnect that battery to finish re-installing all the trim just to be sure.
Heres how I used a piece of wood and hammer to persuade the key-tumbler trim to go back on. Just a couple of light taps was all that was needed. It was kind of like pressing a seal.
After all that time under the dash, youll need to install many capsules of ibuprofen into your back and neck.

very excellent tutorial. i hear "lots of pics" and im there! lol again good job!!!
Great Job on this post drdd...
Also this would be an Excellent time to change out that nasty old 1997 Blazer IGNITION SWITCH that will cause a million electrical problems for $100.....

:evillol: :evillol: :evillol:
Yes it would. I did mine about 2 years ago.
Will changing/cleaing the multi switch stop a delayad turn signal. On my 97 blazer everything works i have no problems, but when my signal its delayed. I will hit the turn signal and it will take about 1-2 sec for the lights to blink. by that time i already changed lanes. Also my curise button some times doesnt work. Ill have to hit it about 5-10 for the curise to come on. Any one think its all related to a dirty multi switch?
possibly ... have you replaced your ignition switch yet ?

no i havent, but like u and dino said if i go as far as cleaning the multi switch, the ignition switch it right there, so i would hit to birds with one stone
NICE! Lots of work there, we all appreciate it.
Awesome post!
Hey that was a great post. I loved the pics. I didn't service my switch I was putting in a new one because I was told by an "expert" that it would solve my " no headlight" problem. Well, it didn't, but I got the new switch in there and am now going to sell the old one, (which is obviously fully functional), on ebay. I have a couple of additional pics that I took. If you want to add them, let me know. The switch on the dash, (which I got at the junkyard), fixed my problem.
I did this yesterday to my 96 blazer. My hazard melted so after proving to the dealer that i DIDNT have to buy the whole multi switch I bought the same part number as the 00 and 01 recall for hazard and it works great. I took apart the multi switch just to make sure there wasnt a problem. Cleaned it just because i was there... easy to do really ... great post ..thanks.
hi i wanted to know i have a 1998 and when i press the door locks the dash and raido will go off and on? now what happend no raido no gas gadge no spedo ,tack,inside lights,temp?
sounds like you blew a fuse or two...check all fuses and relays.. are your door locks after market or factory?? if after market check the install and trace the wiring ..if factory locks you prob have a short some where do the same thing trace the wiring from the switch and make sure you dont have a pinched wire anywhere... your door locks should have nothing to do with your gages....but i would start there... im no expert..but electrical is always a process of elimination..
ITS factory windows all fuses good how do you know if you have a bad relay? the relay that it has on it says nothing about the problem im haveing? now the funny part is that the oil psi working?
Hello all,Very nice post man,Wish i had it a year ago.Well i have two comments on all thats been said here.
(1)I have a 2000 blazer,2door,2 wheel drive,etc;,.88K on it and have done more fixes then any other chevy me or my pops have ever done on 1 chevy in all the chevys he or me have ever owened(and he had`em since the 50`s),anyways:My multi switch went out around 60K(all sudden no wipers,turn sig`s,cruise,etc,)New 1 at dealer was 638.00,couldnt find a used one under 400.00 no where,so bought a whole columme for 100.00 and swapped the switches and resold the colume and bezals for 125.00 on ebay(YAY!)So i highley recomend this post and cleaning procedure becuase no 1 wants this stupid switch gm uses to burn out.For so many things to run on such a small copper plate is a setup for total failure,especialy when you add that grease that melts and runs and bridges it all.
(2)As for the no tach and gauges comment:I lost rear running lights and tach and gauges as well at 65K and two fuses in the underhood box kept blowen,I traced it down to the park nuetral switch on the tranny,I gues when i changed the tranny filter at 50K or just from me running it like hell off road(no idea how)it just wasnt getting a connection,or as the"master mechanic wanna be`s kept telling me,it was bad and replace it",nope not me!Unplugged it,blasted it with air,Hit it a few not hard but light taps with a mallet,Filled it with electrode grease and pluged it back in,Smackked it a few more times,And everything works again and hasnt messed up again yet,even after 20+K miles.
these blazers are possesed in my opion when it comes to there electrical setups.to many things run together.and i`ve found that the least obvious is usualy the problem,anything a so called master tech tells you?Use your commen sense and simplify what you hear and your fix/repair wont cost so much and will be much eaier.
Hope this helps,Thanx all for this site,best on the web!thanx and god bless.
Added to the FAQ.
I don't know if I've gone stupid,:confused: but I can not find this tutorial. When I use FAQ, it comes back "not found"
Can you post a link or PM me. Thanks
DUH, found it on the next page, but it's not on the FAQ
Great post, good directions, pictures ... thank you. I have been suffering from blinker clicking noise syndrome for nearly two years now. I cannot take it anymore and I pray that is this works with all my heart and soul.
I got it all apart and cleaned it best I could with Q tips and compressed air, but now when I try to re-assemble my turn signals do not work and I am quite sure why.
The cover seems to be tightly fitted, and when I set the arm up or down it seems to click into place. My Hazards function properly. Does the lower of the two little wheels set within white things need to be lined up and in contact with the brass strip? How is that 'Y' supposed to set in there? It does not seem like that complex of a piece.
I enjoy the silence actually, but I am not safe on the street without a signal, please if you can offer any advice or ideas as to the reassembly that might be causing the malfunction of the blinkers ... it would be sincerely appreciated. Please. :uhoh:
I just followed the instructions for my 2000 Jimmy SLE 4-door, and it worked great. The only thing that went wrong is I got antsy when I went to take the steering wheel column cover off, I broke the part where it screws to the column. After everything was put back together, a bit of super glue fixed that problem. (you can't tell that it has been glued) One problem I did come across, is that I couldn't find the damn clip for the airbag. I disconnected the battery, and pulled the fuse, but I didn't unplug the airbag. One of my dads friends broke his nose, and burned his face when he was screwing with a MultiSwitch because they airbag deployed. MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. If anyone needs help I would be glad to help!
I just replaced the heater core and just disconnected the battery.. no air bag lite off..
Did your airbag blow or was it your dads friend's aor bag on a different vehicle?
I'm getting a clicking flasher sound.. It goes off when you tap on the brake..
Do you think it's in the multi switch?
Great forum, OUTSTANDING post! I wouldn't have had the courage to try without the instructions.
I inherited a 2003 Blazer. All was well at first, then relay started ticking intermittently when turn signal was off. Ticking became more frequent, and then about a week ago became constant.
Using this post as a starting point, I accessed and cleaned the multi-function switch. The procedure was basically the same (pulled steering wheel, dropped knee bolster, removed steering column cover, accessed switch) a few minor differences in number and location of fasteners. Results as follows.
SATURDAY -- accessed, cleaned, reassembled (about 4 hours total). Turned ignition on and ticking was still there. Very disappointing. Took it for a drive and ticking stopped occasionally, leading me to believe I did the right thing, just not thorough enough.
SUNDAY -- ticking is full time.
MONDAY -- experiencing short periods with no ticking.
TUESDAY -- sick, didn't go out all.
WEDNESDAY -- almost no ticking whatsoever.
Is it possible the alcohol I used to clean out the dielectric grease took a while to fully evaporate when mixed with the dielectric? Or perhaps my cleaning removed enough that after a couple of days of use it redistributed itself to a working level?
Anyway... looks good so far. If it returns, I believe I will use a can of contact cleaner after removing the bulk of crud with cotton swabs -- just for a more thorough flush.
I took notes and pics in case anyone thinks the slight differences merit a separate post. The only "major" thing I would add is if you have power windows and seats, lower all the windows and move the seat back as far as possible and recline it before discconecting the battery. It's nice to have the extra room and air circulation.
UPDATE: Now I've noticed my autostart no longer works. Engine will turn over and fire, but not run.
AutoStart tech support thinks it's a data bypass module issue. Said I should disconnect the module, reconnect it, then start with the key. Only problem is the module is CRAMMED way up in the dash and buried behind wires.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
gm family guy
I cleaned my switch and still heard the ticking sound go on and off. I further inspected it and it looked as though something was blown inside the switch so i bought a used one at the auto junk yard. I pulled it off a 2 door 2000 blazer. I have a 98 Jimmy 4 door, is it still compatible? I know the 00 is compatible with the 98 switch but not sure about if the 4 and 2 door matter or not.
Did a lot of digging under the dash, only to find out the bypass module was tucked up under the steering column, just out of sight on the passenger (right hand) side. Once I found it, problem was obvious -- connector was half out.
Plugged the connector back in, started with the key. Everything is good.
Also, I cleaned the multifunction switch again, this time with lots of contact cleaner. Relay still clicks occasionally on its own, and often a quick double click when releasing the brake pedal, but a HUGE improvement over what it was.
At the very least, I bought some time before having to buy a new switch.

I can't give you a definite answer, but how about calling a parts place or dealership parts department and ask them what the part number is for both those years and models. If they're the same, you're definitely okay. You could also try some online parts places and check the part they bring up when you try both.
Here's the final steps to completely removing the multi-function switch, should it need to be replaced:
1. remove everything as described in the earlier steps
2. remove switch from column.
3. there are 2 small connectors on the pass. side of the column. on is green and plugs in towards the ignition switch. the other is black and plugs in near the back of the shifter. unplug these.
4. remove the sleeve from thh wires, cut any cable ties, and reove any tape that is holding the bundle together.
5. unplug the steering column mass connector. if you trace the wires you'll find it, right at the base of the column. A 7mm bolt holds it in. the bolt will back out a good ways, and bring the harnesses with it. a gentle tug will break the whole thing free. note: all of the dash harnesses (4 i believe) are conected together to make this one large harness.
6. the 2 longer harnesses belong to the multi switch. to get them out, look at the bottom of the harness (the side that goes into the mass connector). insert a small screwdriver between harness and the middle piece to push the harness past the retaining notch, then slide down. (do this with both harnesses).
7. remove the multi switch.
8. bolt in the new multi-switch (so it isnt just hanging).
9. install the harnesses into the mass connector thing. seat it, and tighten the 7mm bolt down.
10. install the 2 small harnesses for the ign switch and shifter. be mindful of where you run them, so the don't get pinched.
11. use cable ties, tape, or whatever to secure everything.
12. put everything else back together and test it.
hope this helps!
Just wanted to say thank you for this post. I've dealt with an continuous blinker relay noise for a year and a half. 30 minutes and it's gone. The silence is beautiful!
I also would like to give props to whoever posted this. Less than 2 hours and kinda fun i am done and happy! I would add and maybe someone did but before you reassemble turn the car on to make it is gone. I also used a bit of compressed air to make sure it was dry in there. It is an older suburban (99) so its getting close to the end so i am not worried about grease at this point.
Again thanks!
awesome post. i have a 2000 suburban with the non-stop blinker noise that goes away when I press the brakes. I read your post and followed the easy step by step directions and it worked perfectly! took about 90 minutes and that was with several interruptions. thanks for the great info and pics and for saving me several hundred $$$
Great write up! However, I've cleaned the contacts 4 times now and still the right turn signal will not work. I managed to stop the annoying constant clicking. So right now the contacts have to be as clean as they were when brand new. I guess l throw in some dielectric grease to see if the right turn signal will fire.
No fuses are blown.
Any thoughts?
This is an excellent presentation for those who struggle with what GMC could never get right on the perplexing 2nd generation Blazer. This contributor should have made a DVD for all common Blazer service problems, of which there are many. GMC should then have been required to purchase the rights to this, and then distribute it to all Blazer owners, no charge. Just a thought.
Are there any more presentation similar to this available.
