Christmas Episodes 2013 - day 15, 16, and 17
A busy weekend, so I got a little bit behind.
We actually watched two episodes, but one of them is an hour special of an otherwise 30 minute show, so I'm counting it twice!
Frasier, season 5, episode 9, "Perspectives on Christmas"
This episode is framed as a series of flashbacks during a massage.
Pretty standard Frasier episode where everything goes wrong, there's lots of confusion, overhearing of things, stuff being taken out of context, etc.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, season 5, episode 13, "A Very Sunny Christmas"
This show is hilarious, but it's also increasing horrifying, and I can't, in good conscience, recommend that anyone ever watch this show.
This Christmas episode is a 45-minute special, and even contains a stop-motion tribute to the Rudolph specials.
The Fraiser episode we'd give a 4 out of 5 stars on Christmas-y scale. The Sunny episode is very Christmas-y, but also lots of very dark, very black humor. So… don't watch it.
Christmas Episodes 2013 - day 14
The Big Bang Theory, season 3, episode 11: "The Maternal Congruence".
Ali enjoys this show; I tolerate it. There is some good acting in this show, but the writing can be pretty lazy at times. It sometimes boils down to: "nerdy guy does something or says something nerdy, isn't that hilarious?"
But Ali says it's because I'm too much like Sheldon. I guess.
This episode has a guest appearance from Christine Baranski, who plays Leonard's mother, and I think she does an excellent job. I tend to get her and Cheryl Hines mixed up a lot (it's a Bill Pullman / Bill Paxton situation in my mind). Christine Baranski also played Martha May Whovier in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000).
This episode is pretty good, but Christmas is really more of a setting than a theme. Most of the episode could have easily been worked into a non-Christmas episode. So, for that reason, we rank it pretty low on the Christmas-y scale. 2 out of 5.
Christmas Episodes 2013 - day 13
On to Wings, season 8, episode 11, "All About Christmas Eve".
If you've never seen Wings, the entire run is available on Netflix. It's a great sitcom from Angell, Casey, Lee, the trio of writers/creators that is responsible for Frasier and many Cheers episodes. (David Angell, by the way, was actually killed on American Airlines flight 11 on September 11, 2001). Especially check out season 3, episode 17 - "Das Plane", my favorite Wings episode.
This episode has a few guest stars:
- Brooke Adams as a nun. She would later go on to do a lot of guest appearances on Monk (starring Tony Shalhoub)
- Phil Leeds as Lou. I think this is Lou's second appearance on Wings.
- Abe Vigoda (still alive) as Lou's brother Harry.
A pretty good episode of Wings, and a pretty good Christmas episode. Lou and Harry are very entertaining as quarreling brothers for which the main characters have escalating intolerance. 4 stars on the Christmas-y scale.
Christmas Episodes 2013 - day 12
Last night's episode was from Everybody Loves Raymond, season 3, episode 12 - "The Toaster".
In this episode, Raymond is insecure about his idea for Christmas gifts: chrome toasters with an engraved message. But everyone loves them (because Everybody Loves Raymond), except his parents, who didn't see the engraved message and exchange the toaster at Bloomingdale's for a coffee maker.
No subplot in this episode that I can remember. It's all about the toasters. We do get to see Debra's parent's stylish house, which is the only time I remember that set ever being used.
Raymond's parents attempt to go retrieve the toaster, with a disastrous outcome.
I'm not a fan of Everybody Loves Raymond. To me, it is the epitome of mediocre sitcom, and at times can be obnoxious and frustrating to watch. Ali enjoys the show to some extent. The moment when Frank enters the "back room" that's filled with toasters is just good classic comedy though. I think this episode is a solid 3 stars out of 5 on the Christmas-y scale.
Christmas Episodes 2013 - day 11
This episode is Rules of Engagement, season 5, episode 12 - "Little Bummer Boy".
If you've never watched Rules of Engagement, you can find the entire run on Netflix. On the surface, it looks like a completely derivative, off-the-shelf sitcom (I think of it as How I Met Your Mother crossed with Seinfeld, with a dash of The Emperor's New Groove). However, this series plays with sitcom tropes in some subtle ways (especially the series finale, which crams just about every shark-jumping trope into one episode).
This episode involves two simultaneous Christmas parties. At one party, Adam's "gift certificates" for his girlfriend (e.g. "1 super squeezy hug") have been confiscated by Russel, and given out to all the employees. Adam is "a man of his word", so he honors all the gift certificates.
The other plots in this episode involve Timmy dressing up as an elf, and Jeff and Audrey arguing about which of them is the "funny one".
This series is the latest in Ali's locust-like consumption of TV sitcoms, and she likes most episodes. I find the show to have really good jokes occasionally (my favorite episode being S5E6 - "Baked"), and some of the aforementioned sitcom experimentation to be interesting, but mostly this show is pretty bland and generic.
Christmas Episodes 2013 - day 9 and 10
Another pair of episodes.
Season 1, episode 12 of Frasier - "Miracle on Third or Fourth Street".
Both of these episodes attempt to take on a somewhat serious tone. Fraiser is having a rotten and depressing Christmas. He ends up in a greasy spoon on Christmas day without his wallet. The kindness of the other patrons (who are implied to be homeless, or deep in poverty, or certainly much less well-off than Frasier) help him pay for his Christmas meal. It's kinda like The Widow's Offering.
This episode was written by Christopher Lloyd, who became executive producer in the next season of Frasier.
Season 9, episode 11 of Night Court - "Santa on the Lam".
The main plot of this episode was the serious plot involving Dan Fielding, the sleazy DA who from time to time shows that his heart isn't entirely made of stone. A fired store Santa gets a gun from a guard, and expresses his anger with Christmas being too commercial (similar to, albeit less comical that Frank's complaints in Seinfeld S9E10).
A subplot in this episode features a guest appearance from Mel Torme, a frequent guest star on Night Court.
Christmas Episodes 2013 - day 7 and 8
As per your request, please find enclosed two Christmas episodes to catch us up.
First up, Twilight Zone, season 2, episode 11 - "The Night of the Meek".
This is the only Christmas episode of The Twilight Zone that I could find. This episode is one of the few that was shot on video tape. Also, it stars John Fiedler, who you might recognize as the voice of Piglet. If you have any interest in The Twilight Zone, may I recommend that you check out the Retroist Podcast episode about The Twilight Zone.
Next episode is pretty much the polar (pun?) opposite of a Twilight Zone episode: an episode of 3rd Rock From the Sun - season 2, episode 12, "Jolly Old St. Dick".
3rd Rock From the Sun is a show that's pretty short on content, and generally contains a lot of punchy jokes and satirical quips. One of my favorite parts of this episode is Sally working the gift-wrapping kiosk at the mall.
Ali generally hates anything in black-and-white regardless of its other merits. I enjoy both the innovative storytelling of The Twilight Zone and the light hearted scenery chewing of John Lithgow (who was in The Twilight Zone movie, by the way).
Christmas Episodes 2013 - day 6
Well, we're getting behind with all the travel and the sickness, but day 6 is season 9, episode 10 of Seinfeld - "The Strike".
This episode contains references to Hanukkah, Christmas, and, of course, the Costanza's Holiday of Festivus.
The episode starts at Tim Whatley's Hanukkah party (he converted to Judaism just for the jokes).
At the office, George gives out donation certificates as Christmas gifts for a made-up charity called The Human Fund.
And finally, Frank Costanza breaks out the aluminum pole and resurrects the anti-commercialism holiday that he invented called Festivus. Festivus actually originated in 1966, and since this episode, it has taken on a life of its own.
This episode is very densely-packed, with two more non-holiday subplots involving Kramer's long-time strike against H&H Bagels and Elaine's quest to become a "Submarine Captain" with a loyalty program at a sub sandwich shop.
We both enjoy Seinfeld (who doesn't), and this episode is a good one. I especially enjoy Frank's "I got a lot of problems with you people!"

Human Feel in Santa Cruz
Human Feel got a predictably enthusiastic response at Kuumbwa Jazz Center, thanks to the turnout of fanboys (and girls) like me. But they also won over the Santa Cruz regulars and Kuumbwa members who'd come not knowing what to expect. I heard at least a couple of them walking away happy, in a chattering and giddy mood.
The band's music, full of sharp-angled melodies and spans of loud improv abandon — certainly doesn't fit the normal jazz arc, which is what attracted me to the band in the first place. But their tunes often have pleasant and traceable themes, and the band performed with convincing punch and verve. I'm sure they made a few new fans that night, and they didn't disappoint the old ones.
The set was good, of course, and packed with energy and sweat, but Andrew D'Angelo's stage banter won the crowd over, too. He's got good stage presence, but he was also gifted with some material in the form of a three-hour flight delay out of Seattle and a couple of lost bags. Airline troubles are nothing new to veteran musicians, but they still provide good stories to tell on stage.
The upshot was that the band, minus Kurt Rosenwinkel's guitar pedals and Jim Black's drumsticks, got into Santa Cruz just after the designated 7:00 p.m. start time. They rushed through a "live" sound check, testing out borrowed gear while we in the crowd finished our dinners and desserts.
As reward for our patience, we got D'Angelo's spasmodic sax energy, the heavier guitar-hero side of Rosenwinkel (who spends most of the time in the background with this band, but it's a hard-working, space-filling background) and of course Jim Black's drumming, which quite a few people came for, judging by the crowd response. I chose to sit on Black's side of the stage, so he drowned out the others sometimes (which is why I don't have much to say about how Chris Speed sounded) but that was a conscious tradeoff, and I wasn't the only one making it. We got to savor Black's shapeshifting grooves, full of explosions, torrents, and subtle clinks and clanks.
They tried something really different on "Numer Ology," a piece D'Angelo said was inspired by cosmic questions about the meaning of existence and the arbitrary nature of fate. Most people took it as a joke, but D'Angelo was diagnosed with brain cancer seven years ago and defeated it without chemo or radiation therapy, so these questions mean a lot to him.
The song consisted of short phrases and short improvisations, all separated by long, weighty pauses. It was at one highbrown and good-humored — and then at one point, D'Angelo picked up the mic and cued us to shout out our meaning-of-the-universe theories after the next phrase. Apparently most crowds just blurt it all out at once; we kind of did it one at a time, classroom-style. It wouldn't have sounded great on a record, but people got into it.
If Human Feel has anything like a hit single, it's "Sich Reped," D'Angelo's poking, sharp-angled 7/8 tune, and that was their closer. Most of the tune went by at a slightly slower pace than on the album Welcome to Malpesta, making for a sound that was still fun but not as jabbing as it could have been — until the end, when D'Angelo and the others opened up the throttle and poured it on. It was a great crowd-pleaser, and of course it got them an encore — a piece that D'Angelo dedicated to the airline they'd flown and that opened with a roaring, screaming improvisation.
Despite having four successful careers to juggle, Human Feel has now gotten together for two post-'90s albums — Galore, and the soon-to-be-released new album. I treated this show as my only chance to see the band, but now I've got my fingers crossed for the future.
Happy 80th, Jim Ryan
It was good to see Jim Ryan in high spirits for his 80th birthday concert last Sunday. The time slot competed with a few other good events, but the SIMM series at San Francisco's Musicians Union Hall draws a good turnout. The room was nicely crowded and full of conversation between sets, fueled by cake and melting ice cream (the Union Hall's performance space gets warm quickly).
Ryan handed out glow bracelets and laser rings that everyone had to wear, and he put on a good show in two sets of flute, sax, and poetry.
Beyond being a performer, Ryan has been an organizer and instigator on the scene. In the late '90s and early '00s, he ran a local zine, back when there were such things and most people didn't have web sites. He also curated a few different weekly series, including one at the Starry Plough in Berkeley — a venue where the ownership and bookers are friendly to creative music, but the crowds sometimes aren't.
I remember one show there with a group called Mosthumbz — out-there, jazzy stuff with a heavy improv component. The bar was full of regulars that night for some reason, and they were grumbling about the music. But one of their compatriots — a guy with an Irish accent, even — stood up for the music. "This is what I love about the 'Plough. You never know what you're going to get," he said, and he meant it. And he enthusiastically applauded every number.
Organizing creative-music shows certainly has its frustrations. Hopefully, little moments like that enhance the rewards.
Ryan's birthday concert opened with Jordan Glenn's Mindless Thing. The band played drummer Glenn's thoughtful, chamber-like compositions, which seemed to be built around Ryan's poems, with music and words serving one another as accents and punctuation. Ryan's poems were a gradual tumble of thoughts, introspective scenes cut with surreal changes of direction and a sense of humor.
The band was heavy in tuned, percussive instruments — vibraphone (Rob Lopez), hammered dulcimer (Damon Waitkus), piano (Michael Coleman), and guitar (Karl Evangelista) for sounds that could be placid like deep water or rustling and restless like a mountain stream. Evangelista kept the guitar volume turned down, but still shredded madly in places, creating an oddly pleasant background fuzz — it was a nice effect. Their closing piece had everyone playing homemade can-and-string instruments, gently banging and plucking away.
For the second set, Ryan led a quartet with Scott Looney (piano), Jason Hoopes (bass), and Jordan Glenn (drums) in a long, jazzy improvisation that kicked off as a fast and heavy post-bop bounce. They kept that jazz vibe going for a second piece featuring Rent Romus (sax) and C.J. Borosque (trumpet), who along with Looney had been members of Forward Energy, a Ryan-led improv band. That piece took off like a screaming rocket and kept the energy going for the most part, a good upbeat way to close out the birthday celebration.
Favorite Street: Steve Lacy Remembered
It's hard to believe Steve Lacy passed away 10 years ago this week. Doesn't seem that long ago.
For many musicians in the Bay Area, Lacy was a contemporary, a peer, a mentor, a correspondent, and even a fan. They knew him and admired his work, and his passing at the age of 70 was like a color dropping from the spectrum.
So when the members of ROVA Saxophone Quartet arranged a commemorative concert, it also served as a 10-year wake and a community catharsis. Held at the Community Music Center in San Francisco, back on June 6, the show was a celebration of Lacy's music, a chance to share memories, and a repainting of Favorite Street, ROVA's 1984 album of Lacy compositions. (The CD is even back in print, part of a re-emergence of the Black Saint record label, although ROVA noted it might be hard to find in stores.)
I wanted to see the show not just for the music, but to learn a little more about Lacy and his influence.
Bruce Ackley did a lot of the talking for ROVA, explaining how Lacy's influence had crept into their musical lives. ROVA members would attend many a Lacy show — and he would attend theirs in turn. (Lacy, a native New Yorker, spent most of his career in Paris and was a frequent Bay Area visitor. ROVA probably encountered him in both places.)
Ben Goldberg talked about the album Evidence, which he and ROVA both mentioned as a key influence. It's got Steve Lacy and Don Cherry, but more importantly, it came out in 1961, when Lacy wasn't as well known. His records weren't numerous and were hard to come by. Evidence was a portal into a new sound world and a revelation, to hear the musicians tell it.
Years later, Goldberg received the news of Lacy's death just days before a previously booked studio date. That album — which would become The Door, the Hat, the Chair, the Fact — was meant to be an homage, songs Goldberg assembled upon hearing Lacy had cancer. It turned into an emotional therapy session, as the whole community was rocked by Lacy's passing. One track is a brief, classically styled song, "Cortege," where the lyrics are the text of a fax Lacy sent Goldberg. The concluding line is a casual comment by Lacy that becomes poetic in its new context: "I am hardly here these days."
The Concert
The first act was a variation of the quartet Cylinder, with bassist Doug Stewart sitting in for the traveling Lisa Mezzacappa. They started with a thundering take on "Trickles," a fast-moving free-jazz rendition propelled by Kjell Nordesson's drums and percussion. Aram Shelton (sax) and Darren Johnston (trumpet) took the lead voices, spelling out Lacy's melodies — which have always struck me as simple and playful, but bent with a foreign accent of a country only Lacy's mind could inhabit — and spiraling into solos inspired by the music. Johnston, in particular, seemed to be working the Monk-like strategy of using the melody to overtly build a solo (Monk being a fascination of Lacy's, of course).
Where the Cylinder group presented Lacy in a jazz context, the duo of Michael Coleman (piano) and Ben Goldberg (clarinet) showed off a more classical-oriented side, more akin to a recital-plus-improvisation. It turns out they were, in fact, playing Lacy's etudes, a book of intentionally difficult exercises called Hocus Pocus. For much of the set, Coleman and Goldberg played the melodies in unison, the piano following the same fractally linear paths as the clarinet. Coleman expertly darted and dodged his way through, sometimes tripping up but always able to jump back in within a couple of sixteenth notes; it was all very impressive.
On a few occasions, Coleman had arranged chords to go along with the themes, adding unexpected and dramatic effects. "Herky Jerky" took on a deep ocean-waves color; it didn't remind me of McCoy Tyner but it was that same monumental spirit. "Hustles," dedicated to Niccolo Paganini, got a brief passage of insane circus music (at least, I'm pretty sure it was the Paganini piece and not the one dedicated to Karl Wallenda).
During ROVA's set, I found myself suddenly paying attention to rhythms. This might have been because they opened with the funky bassline of "The Throes," with Jon Raskin chugging away at the baritone sax. Several pieces also broke the group into a 2×2 format, with duets playing counterbalancing themes — again, tickling the ear's sense of rhythm. While they played the songs from Favorite Street, some of them got new interpretations. (I know that not because I'm a brilliant Lacy-ologist, but because Steve Adams contributed some arrangements, and he wasn't in ROVA in 1984.) It was a joyous set that ended with a new arrangement of "Cliches," a track that's not on the album.
It was a concert, a remembrance, and an education. I'm glad I was able to be there.
Catching Up: Adam Rudolph, Reconnaissance Fly, Dawn of Midi, Battlehooch
The past year has been really busy for me, in non-musical terms, and I've never caught up on a few of the things I've done since the fall. Most of them found their way onto these pages, but a few slipped past. Here's the speed diary.
Monday Make-Out, January 2014
On the first Monday of every month, jazz takes over the Make-Out Room bar in San Francisco's Mission district. It had been more than a year since I'd gone, and I finally atoned for that this month.
I arrived in about the middle of the first set — the Nathan Clevenger Group, whose new album I'd just written about. The band's sound relies on feathery harmonies of clarinet and sax that have to work just so; one of the strengths of the Observatory album is the silkiness in the recording. I'd imagine a venue with a bright sound, like the Luggage Store Gallery, might not be so conducive to that sound.
It worked in the Make-Out Room, though, which was a pleasant surprise. The band was locked in with the harmonies and their solos, playing for a decent-sized audience, many of whom had come to truly listen to the music. Late in the set, when guest Jason Levis stepped in as a second drummer, he and Jon Arkin got into a brief, unaccompanied drum battle– and I swear, the whole bar went silent for it. They even got a few laughs when they traded off quieter and quieter sounds (the machismo of silence). It was nice to see a jazz band capture that much attention in a bar setting.
Levis and Lisa Mezzacappa were up next as duo B, a reunion of their bass-and-drums combo. Duo B used to play around town quite a bit, and I'd imagine venue owners helped come up with one of their song titles: "So It's Just the Two of You."
Duo B was an acoustic act, but they added an electric guitar for this set, producing a heavy sound. While the guitar did have its mellow moments, the first of two improvisations started with an electrified, industrial feel. A later segment had Levis going nuts on the snare and high-hat with Mezzacappa delving athletically on the bass. The second piece was more of a long, glorious sunburst with elements of drone; it started with some prickly guitar in an adversarial approach but ended up as an example of nicely sustained mood and coloring.
The third act was apparently Denny Denny Breakfast, performing one long, unexplained suite. On the web, DDB seems to be a pop act, the musical vehicle for Bob LaDue. What we saw was different: a fairly large band playing a long, polished, complex suite full of tricky passages at breakneck speed. It was as if a marching band had grown up in a town where Zappa chemicals leaked into the water supply. Drums and/or vibes triggered goofy synth patches as well, adding a madcap Nintendo silliness to the music.
This wasn't throwaway stuff. The band's charts were long and, according to one guy I was talking to, really complicated. (The charts were also photocopied just a couple hours before the show, apparently.) It was impressive.
Oakland Free Jazz Roosts at Duende
Every other Monday at Duende, the musicians' collective of the Oakland Freedom Jazz Society takes over over the restaurant's music loft — a continuation of a series formerly held at The Layover. They present some outstanding local music along with some jazz vinyl DJ'ing before the show and between sets.
The vinyl part shouldn't be underestimated. I didn't look through the crate they brought, but it seemed like a pretty deep cut of history. Between sets on the night I attended, the musicians were marveling at the early, early Rahsaan Roland Kirk LP that was spinning.
Overall, the evening has the vibe of a cozy jazz hangout, complete with really good food and wine downstairs. I'm glad I finally made it out there a couple of Mondays ago.
Both bands that night played improvised music in jazz settings. The first set was by the BAG Trio — Vijay Anderson (drums), Sheldon Brown (sax), and Ben Goldberg (clarinet), who have been playing in this configuration for a while.
Anderson set down an aggressive groove while Goldberg and Brown wandered jointly, often pushing each other's energy level up to a breaking point, then receding. One of these surges ended in both of them playing long, shrill tones — kind of a guitar-hero climax that was followed by babbling quick notes to bring the mood back to earth. I found myself paying the most attention to Anderson, though, his quick hands doing some impossibly fast clacketing to lay down those aggressive rhythms.
The second set, by the Darren Johnston Quintet, was just what a late-night set ought to be — maybe less white-hot, but still intense, with David Boyce's sax and Johnston's trumpet jamming over vibraphone harmonies. The music settled into more traditional patterns of soloing, including one nice stretch where just Boyce and Jordan Glenn (drums) took over, really digging their heels in.
Johnston pushed the sound outward with a lot of extended tricks — squeaks, air-through-the-horn, plunger-mute antics. It was great stuff, and I found myself thinking these guys would have been a great listen on a more inside, composition-based gig as well.
You can follow the Oakland Freedom Jazz Society on Facebook or just keep checking the Duende calendar for upcoming shows. Darren Johnston reappears on Dec. 9, this time with a trio; Michael Coleman's Sleepover (led by pianist Coleman) will perform as well. And Vijay Anderson's trio (is it really his trio, or more a collective thing?) performs on Dec. 23 along with the Aram Shelton Group.
Peter Brötzmann & Paal Nilssen-Love at CNM
Brötzmann and Nilssen-Love play Thursday, Nov. 14, at Kuumbwa Jazz and Friday, Nov. 15, at Duende.
There was no warm-up phase. Brötzmann opened the concert with a screeching blast of sax, and Nilssen-Love jumped in with full thunder — and off they went.
As usual, long stretches of the sound consisted of motifs, little screamed phrases that Brötzmann would repeat a few times over Nilssen-Love's tumult before shifting to the next phrase. Some of the best parts, though, came when things quieted down and Brötzmann's playing got more emotional.
One quieter phase had his sax turning almost romantic, but with the volume still turned up to at least 7 and with a ragged, buzzing sound, like a lament sung by a burly king who doesn't realize his robes are in tatters. Later, there was a more properly soft phase, with Brötzmann playing solo, featured some hardier melody and a sensitive air, until he started ramping the volume back up, encouraging Nilssen-Love to pound his way back in.
I really enjoyed Nilssen-Love's playing, and I hope it wasn't lost on the crowd. His solos tended toward the loud side — one solo oversaturating the snare and cymbals to intentionally create that white-noise effect, another featuring incredibly fast, rumbling toms. (The snare and cymbals are his, and the rest of the drum kit was borrowed.)
For an encore, Brötzmann turned to a melodic motif, one with an Ayler-like marching-band flair. It's a well-played tool from his bag of tricks and seemed appropriate for a quick finale number.

Mitsubishi Montero: Those codes do not work and now my stereo
Customer Question
I just talked to Doug C, and he gave me a couple of codes for my Mitsubishi Montero, 2001. Those codes do not work and now my stereo is locked out. I need to know what to do now.

Hi, if those codes do not work, there may be a problem with the serial number you provided. Please pull the radio to access the label with the serial number and model number on it and we can verify the information.

ok, mu husband says that the serial number is XXXXX and the model number is XXXXX He said that he tried the 9718, twice and then the 8329 and it didnt work. Now the stereo is locked up. I know what we need to do to unlock it, just put the key in the ingnition and turn it on, and leave it for like 30 minutes. Could there be a different code?
Doug C.
replied 4 years ago.
If you are certain the numbers are correct, the code is definitely 8329. The only way it could be wrong would be if the radio housing was replaced (radio sent to a repair shop etc). This pretty much NEVER happens though.
With that serial number and model number, 8329 is the only possible code via Mitsubishis database.
To get the system out of "oFF" mode you will need to leave the key turned on or accessory for 75 minutes with the display reading "oFF". Make sure your battery is healthy enough for this task, if not place a battery charger on the battery during the process. If unavailable you can leave the vehicle running for the time period as well. Somewhere between 55-75 minutes the "oFF" message will disappear. At this point you can push the power button and "codE" will appear again.
At this point you can re-enter the code. Use ONLY the
code this time, and be certain it is displayed correctly before pushing the unlock button (which based on the model number, should be
). If the radio has never been sent out for repair/service, this will be the code.
I will be here in and out all afternoon, if you have any further issue.

Ok Doug, I got it. i have one more question for ya. We bought our car used from a used car dealership, as far as i know the stereo has never been replaced, it looks to me to be a factory stereo. If the stereo has been replaces would it have a different serial number and/or model number?
Doug C.
replied 4 years ago.
The only way the code could not match the radio is by a serial number problem. The radios are coded to the chassis of the radio, but not the vehicle itself.
Essentially, you could pull the radio out of another Sport, put it in yours, and ask me for the code by providing the information on the sticker on the radio chassis.
When problems arrive is when the radios fail and are sent to radio repair shops. If they replace the main board in the radio and DO NOT scratch out the serial number on the chassis and right the new code on it, the radio is locked essentially forever. The board would have to be removed by a radio repair shop and scanned for a real serial number.
As I said before though, this never happens... I've seen it twice in many years of dealing with these radios.
I suspect that there was a mistake on the last entry of the code; But now that we know which of the codes is the right one based on the model number (8329) we have a much cleaner shot at it.
Just take your time and make certain the code is displayed right then push the CD button and you should be good.
Like I said I will be in and out this afternoon, so if you need anything let me know and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. If the code does not work the first time and you are 100% sure it was displayed correctly, stop there and we will re-group.

San Diego, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Talk about a perfect inbounds play.
Trying to fend off feisty San Diego State late, Arizona freshman Aaron Gordon cut through the middle of the lane and rose effortlessly before throwing down an emphatic dunk off a T.J. McConnell alley-oop pass from underneath the basket.
The raucous Aztec faithful suddenly became quiet and the Wildcats were never threatened again.
Nick Johnson had 23 points and Gordon added 16 points and eight rebounds as No. 6 Arizona defeated San Diego State, 69-60, on Tuesday night.
Xavier Thames had seven points during a 9-2 Aztecs flurry, which pulled the hosts within 62-58 with 1:52 left. Johnson then airballed a triple from the left wing, but the rebound was batted out of bounds by San Diego State with 1:22 on the clock.
Gordon then came flying down the paint and the Aztecs never got within less than four the rest of the way.

As a dentist in Charlotte NC, I want to save as many teeth for my patients a possible. As I always say, the best dentistry is no dentistry at all. In other words, preventing disease is always better than treating it. Obviously there comes a time when treatment needs to be done. Fortunately, dental therapies are improving the outcomes for patients. But inevitably some teeth cannot be saved and need to be removed or extracted. One example of this is when a tooth becomes

When a tooth is removed (extracted), ideally, all the soft tissue and infection should be removed from the socket. Soft tissue would include tissue associated with an abscess and infection and the ligament tissue between the roots and the bone.
In our Charlotte North Carolina practice, after the socket is cleaned out, I will treat the socket with
I will use ozonated water and oxygen-ozone gas to further reduce infection in the bone and promote proper healing with the other
benefits of ozone.
Finally, I want to seal the cleaned socket from the rest of the mouth by placing biocompatible
graft material and a membrane.
This is called a ridge preservation procedure. This procedure will encourage proper healing, speed the healing, preserve bone, prevent gum tissue from entering the socket and help prevent microbes from the mouth from entering the bone.

We've done a basic service, brake pad changes, bled the clutch, tensioned the chain. The next task on the list is replacing timing belts. A service centre has quoted over $400 in labour for the job plus $65 each for the timing belts. Has anyone here had experience changing timing belts? It looks relatively simple provided we're very careful with aligning the timing marks and adjusting the tensioners. Is it a long and technically difficult task?JohnH Logged ducatiz antes whore Post Whore Offline Posts: 14784 Re: M600 timing belts replacement - DIY? « Reply #1 on: June 20, 2011, 03:56:54 AM » If you can use a wrench, you can change the belts.Once you remove the covers, turn the engine so the pulley marks line up with the stake or mark on the heads. I add a grease pencil mark as well on all of the pulleys so if anything shifts i see it right away.Loosen the tensioners, remove belts -- test the tensioner bearings to make sure it turns easily..Put on new belts, make tensioners snug on the belt. Triple check your marks if you made them with pencil or on the case.Use your personal method of belt tensioning. Make sure to recheck after about 100 miles. They should not change but sometimes the tensioner might not be done right.Allen wrench method is fine for that era engine, also the "quarter turn" method. I do the latter first and the former second. I've seen a hand scale used on the tensioner -- loosen the tensioner and hook the scale on, then hold it at the right amount, but I've never done it.If you open a beer when you start, you should just be finished now.You can find aftermarket Gates, Bucci, or Dayco belts for a lot cheaper than $65.. Gates doesn't sell to retail in some markets (for the Ducati belts) but both Bucci/Gia.ca.moto and Dayco do. « Last Edit: June 20, 2011, 04:21:33 AM by ducatiz » Logged Check out my oil filter forensics thread!

text: Imation ACCESS 4.1 adds tools administrators need to better protect digital data on the move with secure USB Drives OA... Imation ACCESS 4.1 adds tools administrators need to better protect digital data on the move with secure USB Drives OAKDALE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 30, 2012-- Imation Corp. (NYSE: IMN), a global scalable storage and data security company, today announced availability of Imation ACCESS 4.1, software that manages Imation's secure USB drive offerings. Key new features include location-based security management, enabling administrators to manage and control USB use inside and outside of the network. Administrators can allow the device to unlock at IP addresses determined to be safe, or destroy its contents remotely, if data is deemed to be at risk. Imation's ACCESS 4.1 is a key component to Imation's data security solution for secure mobile data, secure mobile identity and secure mobile workspaces. "As enterprise organizations embrace the mobile workforce, IT departments are confronting a new set of hazards to the security of sensitive data," said Lawrence Reusing, Imation's general manager for Mobile Security. "Our latest ACCESS software adds tools administrators need to decide exactly where secure USB devices can be unlocked, helping better protect digital data on the move." ACCESS 4.1 supports management and usage of Imation branded USB flash and external hard disk drive devices. The newest enhancements and benefits include a wide range of important management features for secure device control, device recovery and policy enforcement, all while reducing deployment and ownership costs. Location-Based Security Policies: Chief among the enhancements; the addition of location-based security policies that help protect against data leakage and theft. With ACCESS 4.1 software, IT administrators can prevent all USB device use outside of an organization's network, or restrict usage to specific computers and locations. New capabilities include: Trusted IPs Only: Devices can be set so that they can only be unlocked at IP addresses that have been evaluated as trusted and are specified on the IP whitelist to prevent address spoofing. Device Must "Call Home": Administrators can mandate that devices contact an ACCESS Enterprise Server (the managed version of ACCESS) before allowing the device to unlock. Requiring that devices are unusable unless they can "call home" diminishes the risk of data leakage or theft.

Looking through penis photos online is one of those things I don't tell anyone that I do. I am sure with the people that I hang around, they would think there was something extremely wrong with me if they found out how I spend my alone time at night. But they just don't understand what it means to me to see a perfect looking penis in a picture. I search through thousands of online archives trying to find that perfect penis and, when I do, it is very exciting.
Most people would think that the only reason I look through penis photos is to have something to masturbate to, but that just isn't the case. Sure, I have been known to do that on occasion, but I am much more impressed with seeing the penis in all its glory rather than simply using it as an excuse for sexual exploration. Besides, if that was all it was about, then all I would need to do is look down at my own penis and that would accomplish everything I needed. Since I don't exactly get turned on every time I look at these photos, it has to mean something much deeper than sexual gratification to me.
The good news is that there are a lot of penis photos on the Internet for me to look through in order to find the perfect one. I have found more sites online that have posted these photos than I ever thought possible, and it gives me a reason to look through them all. I just wish that I had a penis that looked good enough to be in some of those photos that I have seen over the last few months. Most people would consider my penis to be that impressive, but I think it needs a bit of work to be in those kinds of photos.

7 of the Craziest Myths About Female Biology of All Time
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Recently we've heard some world-class craziness on the subject of that wondrous creation, the female body. The GOP has long frowned upon sex education, and for good reason. A rudimentary understanding of biology would render nonsensical many of its cherished ideas about women's anatomical functions. It is precisely deep-seated fear and suspicion of women has led to the circulation of absurd myths that would be amusing were they not so often deadly.
Here's a list of some of the most whacked-out ideas that fevered minds have conjured about women's bodies througout the ages.
1. The Wandering Uterus
What if your uterus suddenly decided to spring from its station in your midsection and take off running wildly around your body?
That's just what Plato theorized in his famous explanation for the discredited, fantasy diagnosis of "hysteria" that was widely believed to plague women well into the 20th century. In his dialogue Timaeus, Plato, following other Greek writers, describes the uterus as a little animal with a mind of its own that wanders throughout a woman's body, "blocking passages, obstructing breathing, and causing disease."
The myth of the wandering womb lived on for centuries.
2. The Toothed Vagina
You're making love to your ladyfriend and suddenly, chomp! Her vagina has eaten your penis.
Various folk legends around the world have carried the idea of the toothed vagina (Latin: vagina dentata). The sharp-toothed orifice hiding in a woman's nether regions surprises visitors with bites than can cause injury or castration. The fantasy is thought to stem from profound fears of the female as seductress or monster, particularly her bestial nature. A punk metal band from Belgium has taken the Latin term as its name.
The 2007 film Teeth flipped the myth around in a tale of a high school student who discovers a secret weapon against male violation.
3. The Dangerous Clitoris
The clitoris, symbol of women's pleasure, has raised alarm in many cultures. In the 16th century, Sinistrari, a Roman inquisitor and author of a classic text on demons, warned that women with elongated clitorises could rape men, and he recommended torture for such unholy females. In the 19th century, removal or cauterization of the clitoris was often prescribed by Western doctors as a "cure" for everything from masturbation to " immorality."
The ancient practice of female genital mutilation, the total or partial removal of the genitalia, still affects hundreds of millions of women globally. The practice is justified in some regions by various myths, including the notion that a woman's clitoris will grow into a penis if it is not cut off, or that a baby will die if it touches the clitoris.
4. Contaminated Menses
A woman's monthly period scores high for the fear factor in the realm of biological fantasy. Menstruation has been called a punishment from God, a sign of corruption and a deadly poison. Pliny the Elder claimed that a mere look from a menstruating woman will "dim the brightness of mirrors, blunt the edge of steel, and take away the polish from ivory."
In the Middle Ages, widespread beliefs ranged from the notion that sex with a woman having her period would kill the male or mutilate the semen and produce horribly deformed offspring, to the fear that crops would die in her presence.
5. She Can't Learn
Enough creative reasons have been concocted by men to deny women access to education to fill an encyclopedia. In the 1800s, educator Edward H. Clarke opined that energy devoted to study would deprive a pubescent girl's reproductive organs of the necessary "flow to power." He further warned that higher education would produce women with "monstrous brains and puny bodies … [and] abnormally weak digestion."

Go To Jenny!!!!! She is so beyond amazing!!! She did a perfect job!
I cannot express how happy I was and how in love I am with my dress after Jenny saved the day! My dress needed some serious changes (came in completely wrong after buying it from a bridal show) and Jenny turned it into a beyond perfect dress. I was so happy, I cried on the way home (and I don't cry). It's so beautiful and she did a fabulous job in only a few weeks! She fit me in when I was panicking and spent time and effort for me and is now going to be altering my sister's and mother's dresses. SERIOUSLY GO TO JENNY!!!!! She is the sweetest, nicest person you will ever meet! The dress is staying with her because she presses them as well!
I ordered a dress at a bridal show, it came in late and it was supposed to be a sweetheart strapless with a lace jacket. It came in full material, up to my neck and sleeves down to my elbows. The owner of the store worked with me (it's a long story but it wasn't their fault) and I was supposed to see his seamstress. I got my dress from her in October and was said to come back in late January. I called 6 times in 3 weeks and no answer or response. I panicked because two others said they didn't have time for how much needed to be done. The first seamstress finally called me after the owner called her and she just said "no." My mom found Jenny, she saw me same day when she is busy already and I cannot express how pleased and excited I was when I saw the finished product in just 3 weeks. She made it a beautiful vintage sweetheart dress with capped sleeves. She saved the day for me and I am so happy.

Jenny is THE BEST. I had a lot of work to be done on my dress: she ended up putting in cups, taking in the chest area, taking in the sides, and cutting off about 2 feet of dress! She was passionate about her work, explaining the process to me, and ensuring me she would carefully go through the layers of the dress to keep the original design/proportions of the dress. When she was finished, it looked as though the dress had been made and designed for someone of my size and proportions. A true sweetie and professional; thank you so so much Jenny!

I found the alterations process to be frustrating on many levels (some of which are probably my own fault). I hope this review will help others.
I saw that Perfect Bride was very close to my house and had great reviews, so I called to make an appointment about 3 months before my wedding. Perfect Bridal is a one-woman show (and unfortunately I cannot remember her name). She answers the phone, makes the appointments, and does the alterations. She suggested that I come in about 6 weeks before my wedding, so I did. Looking back, I wish I would have made the appointment at least two months out, so that I would have had time to get quotes from other sources.
At our first meeting, we discussed the changes that would be made. First round of changes - bust. Second round - hem. I think language may have contributed to the major miscommunication we had about cost. She told me the estimate was $300, and I thought that was for the entire dress. I found out after she had done the bust that it was $300 for the bust and an additional $300 for the hem/bustle. The dress itself wasn't terribly expensive, so I thought $600 for alterations was absurd (and double my budget) - but what could I do 2 weeks before the wedding except continue?
In the end, the dress looked good, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. I wanted the dress to be tighter through the hips, but Perfect Bridal told me that she couldn't make it tighter because of the shape of the dress. I'm not sure if that is true or not, but the vendor who sold me the dress said that I would be able to alter it to be tighter. Perfect Bridal also put in size D cups - and I'm barely a B. Hey it looked great in pictures, but I was unsupported all day.
If I could do it all again, I would shop around for alterations. I would go to at least two people and get quotes in writing. I hope you have a better experience than I did!

I found the perfect dress, unfortunately it was off the rack and a size 10. Of course they told me the dress would look exactly like they had pulled and pinned it at the bridal store. This is not true. Not true unless you are working with Jenny. She worked on that dress and took it apart 3 times to make it my dream dress. I owe her so much, she made my dream dress a reality!

I purchased the sample of my dress off the rack. I was a bit apprehensive on the buy because the sample size was a 10 and I'm a street size zero. I knew any alterations would be a major overhaul to get it to fit my petite frame. I was not going to skimp on picking the right vendor to do this job.
Jenny was so sweet and a pleasure to work with from the get go in the wedding dress alteration experience. I found her reviews on Yelp and they were just all glowing about her excellent work.
She was able to get the dress to fit me beautifully. The dress was silk organza, with tons of under layers to create a mermaid shape. She worked with all the elements like a pro and maintained the silhouette of the original design that I fell in love with.
She is also very flexible with meeting times for fittings, which is incredibly helpful for any bride who has a particularly busy schedule,

Jenny did the alterations for my wedding dress and I couldn't be more happy! She was soo sweet and helpful, she put a lot of work into my dress to make it fit just right! We had taken it to a different place initially for alternations and had a bad experience (long story short, I needed the waist taken in so that the tulle didnt "bunch", they said that it was impossibe yet somehow Jenny had no issue!) which led me to Perfect Bride Alterations. As my fittings progressed, she noticed some things that she could do to help the tulle lay flat.. this obvously created more work for her but never added charges to my bill-- I could tell that she was personally invested in making sure that it was perfect. She is a great seamstress, I would definitely recommend her to other brides!!

Joey Votto gets animated Sunday on Fox's "The Cleveland Show," when he provides his voice along with Dodgers stars Matt Kemp and Andre Either, Red Sox slugger David Ortiz and Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
On the episode at 8:30 p.m. Sunday (Channels 19/Fox), following "The Simpsons," the Brown family moves to Los Angeles so the dad (Cleveland) can realize his dream of being a Major League Baseball scout. The episode is called "California Dreamin' (All the Cleves are Brown)."
Don't worry, Votto doesn't jump from the Reds to Cleveland Brown's team. Fox says Cleveland "receives a cold welcome from star players Matt Kemp and Andre Either (guest-voicing as themselves) and he unsuccessfully recruits David Ortiz, Jimmy Rollins and Joey Votto (guest-voicing as themselves).
Krysten Ritter from ABC's short-lived "Don't Trust the B—- In Apt. 23" also makes a guest voice appearance as a stuggling actress befriended by Cleveland.
Here's the full episode description from Fox:
"The Browns pack their bags and move to Los Angeles, where Cleveland pursues his life-long dream of becoming a major league baseball scout. But when he receives a cold welcome from star players Matt Kemp and Andre Either (guest-voicing as themselves) and he unsuccessfully recruits David Ortiz, Jimmy Rollins and Joey Votto (guest-voicing as themselves), he winds up longing for the simple life in Stoolbend. Meanwhile, Donna and the kids become obsessed with the glitzy L.A. lifestyle, and Cleveland befriends a struggling actress (guest voice Ritter) who helps him realize that Hollywood isn't as glamorous as it seems in the all-new "California Dreamin' (All the Cleves are Brown)" episode of THE CLEVELAND SHOW airing Sunday, March 17 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (CLE-323) (TV-14 D, L, V)."

In response to:
When I read "Prairie Fire" by William Ayres years ago, I could tell where this was all heading. History will want to comprehend how such a great nation could just give up its heritage and surrender to forces bent on our destruction. The MSM, Hollywood, education, the the influence of George Soros money and corruption of our political system.
Many years ago, as a young man, I read a very interesting book about the rise of the Communists to power in China. In the last chapter, the author tried to explain why and how this had happened.
Among the factors he cited were the country's educators. That struck me as odd, and not very plausible, at the time. But the passing years have made that seem less and less odd, and more and more plausible. Today, I see our own educators playing a similar role in creating a mindset that undermines American society.

ABC 13 Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nev. — An officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is now on paid administrative leave, after being recorded during a traffic stop.
The YouTube video, which has gotten thousands of views, shows the officer react angrily after rear-ending a motorcycle.
The motorcyclist, John Paul Rosario, had a video camera attached to his helmet. Rosario was never issued a ticket by the officer and is glad the police department has taken action. But, he thinks paid administrative leave is pretty generous for what he describes as "uncalled for aggression by an officer."
