MP for Hornsey and Wood Green
Another local issue that has blown up is the danger that the Ally Pally TV studios are in as the Ally Pally Board, headed by Haringey Labour councillor Charles Adje, has now confirmed that there is no long-term protection for the studios (the birth place of television) in the proposed sale of the Palace to the Firoka Group on a 125 year lease.
The television studios at Alexandra Palace were occupied in 1935 by the BBC, and in 1936 the first television broadcasts were made from the site. The lease that could be signed with the Firoka group only requires that the group provide a space for a museum somewhere within the building, not the maintenance of the original studios.
My Lib Dem councillor colleague, Bob Hare, who is Lib Dem Alexandra Palace spokesperson put it very well I thought – "This is the equivalent of losing Stonehenge and replacing it with a fibreglass replica. The television studios are of vast historical importance not just locally but nationally and internationally. It is a crying shame that in their rush to complete the deal with Firoka, there has been no thought given to their long-term survival. We must do everything we can to ensure that our children do not regret the hasty decisions that are being made about the future of Ally Pally."
The Charity Commission will soon start a short, one-month public consultation on the proposals to sell the Palace – so here's your chance to have a save and help save the TV studios by emailing the Charity Commission at firstname.lastname@example.com
As always the emails that work best with this sort of lobbying are short, temperate but clear messages that include your full name and postal address. It would be handy if you could also copy your email to me at email@example.com
(It would also help the campaign if you can mention this lobbying campaign, such as by linking to this blog posting, on any appropriate website or blog you have).
I am also tabling an Early Day Motion in Parliament – so if you don't live in my constituency you can contact your MP asking them to sign this EDM when it comes up for signature.
UPDATE: You can read about the latest state of play here.
Those were the days that the BBC represented Britain … how low it has now fallen!
I'm assuming someone has got the BBC Heritage department onto this and that they are also lobbying on our behalf
Thanks – that's a good idea which I'll follow up.
In my early days at BBC News (1980) I worked with colleagues who were due to retire and had worked at Ally Pally – News was the last bit of the BBC to leave there. I will circulate it wherever I can among old colleagues.
You could try to get Greg Dyke on board – especially to get media interest.
Good to see you're on the case Lynne.
We do share your concerns. We'll certainly be supporting your campaign on our site.
We want to see television come back to Alexandra Palace and took part in the recent event there on November 2nd, celebrating television's 70th anniversary. More at http://www.405-line.tv
This is a copy of the message I sent to the Charity Commission:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you regarding the original BBC television studios at Alexandra Palace.
As you may well know Alexandra Palace is about to pass in to the hands of developers and, as the building is only Grade II listed this does mean that the building can essentially be gutted and only the facade preserved.
Alexandra Palace is hugely important, not just in British history, but in world-wide history. 70 years ago the BBC started the world's first regular high definition television service from Alexandra Palace, and it is by some miracle that, just over 70 years later, those original television studios and associated areas still survive.
It is true that they have been neglected since the BBC left in 1981, but I was able to access Alexandra Palace last June and take a comprehensive video and photographic record of the entire area, including both television studios, the associated control rooms and the other areas associated with television, such as the make-up rooms and the main corridor. Even the original 1936 lift still survives and is operational.
Studio A is in reasonably good condition and has a very good display of television sets and items related to the history of television at Alexandra Palace, and so many features still survive, the original studio doors complete with their portholes, art deco 1930's lighting and so much more. If you would like me to send you a copy of the pictures and the video footage that I took at Alexandra Palace last year I would be very pleased to do so. I did write an article for the British Vintage Wireless Society, of which I am a member, to highlight the importance of Alexandra Palace and the current conditions there.
I just want to ask that something please be done, before it is too late, to ensure that the original television studios at Alexandra Palace are preserved for future generations. It is some miracle that the studios have survived these 70+ years, these are the oldest television studios in the entire world, and their historical importance is hugely important, to lose them now, after having survived all of these years, would be criminal. As things currently stand they could be restored and made in to a museum which could also be used for various heritage television activities, but if they are allowed to be destroyed they can never again be recovered, a reconstruction would never be the same as preserving the original studios.
I do hope that some action will be taken to ensure their survival for future generations and to allow people to be able to see where television, which is now part of most people's lives every day, actually started.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Carlton.
COME ON FIROZ KASSAM- WE THE (LOCAL COMMUNITY) SUPPORT YOUR PROPOSAL- YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON, IF THE BBC CARE ABOUT THE STUDIO- WHY DON'T THEY THROW MONEY AT IT, WHY WASTE YOUR MONEY TO PRESERVE SOMETHING THAT WON'T BENEFIT ME AND 'US'. I can assure you, we all support you….
I'm afraid that 'MASH' (stuck caps lock?) is missing the point completely. Alexandra Palace, the building and its grounds are a NATIONAL treasure, they're not just for the local people. It was built by altrusitic Victorians for all the people as a north London 'mirror' of the Crystal Palace. Why should a business man with a dubious development record be allowed to take over this icon for 125 years?
The studios and television connections are very important to me and also to many other folk both locally, nationally and internationally. However, it is the whole place that is really important and must be maintained in the spirit in which it was built. If Haringey Council can't make it work then a 'not for profit' consortium of some sort should be formed that can. Handing it over to a commercial interest such as Firoka that will ultimately see a casino on the site has to be a very bad plan. I'm not against private finance initiatives, far from it, but not just by letting one questionable firm take over the whole thing. This would be a major mistake and the 'locals' that 'MASH' purports to represent would soon find themselves squeezed out.
'MASH', we the rest of the people of Britain have a stake and an interest in the future of 'AP' – it's not just a big local sports hall!
I can't believe that Firoz Kassam is being allowed anywhere near Alexandra Palace. Has nobody looked at his previous dealings with Oxford City Council regarding Oxford United's Stadium complex? It is no co-incidence that during Kassam's control the club suffered 3 relegations resulting in dropping out of The Football League at the end of the last season.
I would be suprised if Alexandra Palace was still standing in 10 years time ubder Firoz Kassams control.
Be very carefull of Mr Kassam. Look at the history of what he has done to Oxford United. Took on a succesfull team, got planning permission on their back for a new stadium supported with multiplex, bowling alley, hotel, restaurants, bingo hall etc etc, sold the old ground at £6million profit after selling it to himself and once he had echieved his planning consents for the leisure park effectively ended any investment in the football club leading to it dropping out of the league.
Planning obligations mean nothing to this man many years on he has still not installed the public works of art and he ignored parking restrictions imposed, to boost the value of the cinema and then just appealed any planning conditions he didn't like whilst ignoring them anyway.
Their is only one motivation for this man and that is profit, he is not a fit and proper person to be involved in preserving any heritage.
If Kassam does to Alexandra Palace what he did to us in Oxford then God help you. He will steamroller local authorities and will ignore any restrictions placed on him.
This man's sole interest in life is making money.
You MUST stop him now before it's too late.
JH (Oxford
Dont be fooled by Kassam,he's an asset stripper and that is all he is….you have been warned!!!
Glad others are knowledgeable
about Kassam and about the value of preserving the BBC Studios and the value of the Palace. I hope there can be a suitable intervention before it is too late.
save it so kassam cant touch it! see how much he spends then.
I believe that the management of Ally Pally by Haringey Council has been an absolute disgrace, to have such a great asset, where is the arts cinema, the theatre, the art gallery, the heritage museum, the bars, jazz festival and cafes ? I would not be suprised if there were plans to turn it into a super casino. WHen Haringey council attempted outdoor cinema there one summer I realised how useless they were. It would have be so easy to get that right at Ally Pally but they still managed to mess it up. Also tarmac the seating space outside the pub, now that really in keeping with the architecture??!!! SO its not only the big decisions but the small ones as well. Thanks for trying to do something Lynne, you seem to have the local community at heart. Best wishes
Kassam was a disgrace and a disaster
in the way he "ran" Oxford United FC
treating supporters with nothing but contempt. He fails to comply with planning conditions and is a law unto himself.
This man should NEVER be allowed anywhere near a national treaure like Alexandra Palace.He is an asset stripper.
To change the subject slightly.It might be of interest to know that the BBC not only pioneered the early days of tv there but it was also the very first place where the early tv news broadcasts began and it was also where the early foundation courses for the Open university were made.Thats surely of great importance aswell.Whats happened to the idea a couple of years back of turning the old BBC end of AP into some kind of media training centre for budding tv directors etc.Surely this would generate some kind of income into the building even if a museum would'nt.

Sports Leagues Battle Pirates Showing Live Games on Internet
It's Saturday, Feb. 5, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, and 11,000 fans are watching as barefoot brawlers pummel each other in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the mixed martial arts league.
Edward Muncey is engaged in hand-to-hand combat, but not in the ring; he's at a keyboard in a room a few hundred feet away that reverberates with the roar from the arena. Dressed in a black pinstripe suit, the UFC's vice president of new media and technology pitches forward on a hotel chair before three computer screens, trawling the Internet to find and shut down unauthorized live broadcasts of the evening's matches, Bloomberg Businessweek reports in its Feb. 28 edition.
As the night progresses, unauthorized video streams of the event sprout across the Web. Although Muncey has contracted with several anti-piracy firms around the world, he identifies more than 200 illegal broadcasts of the fight playing on a single site: Justin.tv, the live video streaming service, based in San Francisco.
He's able to shut these down using a Web tool that Justin.tv makes available to copyright holders. He has less luck with videos of the event he finds on dozens of other sites and blogs. Muncey and his team fire off hundreds of threatening e-mails to the operators of these websites, demanding that they take down the illicit feeds. Many comply, but others respond slowly or not at all. "It's like someone stole your car and is celebrating by doing a doughnut on the parking lot next door," Muncey says.
A Safe Perch
Sports leagues once viewed the Internet's disruption of other entertainment industries from a safe perch. The Web was terrific for sharing digital music and television programs, but it wasn't really great for games in progress, when outcomes are still in doubt and fans are most interested.
Now the technology has improved and pirates can easily divert authorized broadcasts from TV networks onto their own websites. They have powerful computers, fast broadband connections and operations in countries such as China, Sweden, and the Netherlands, which have less rigorous copyright protection laws and anti-piracy enforcement.
This past National Football League season, for example, fans could find and watch almost any game they wanted to see, as long as they didn't mind inconsistent video quality and the occasional inconvenience of having to find a new stream when the one they were watching shut down.
"We all knew this tsunami was coming," says Eric Goldman, an associate professor of law at Santa Clara University and an adviser to Justin.tv, who does not speak for the company. "Some of the businesses that leagues had in the past are going to get much harder to control."
Previous Pirates
For years, bar owners purchased pay-per-view or satellite feeds and displayed them to their clientele without making the proper payments. But this new kind of Internet piracy could be far more difficult to stop and strikes right at the heart of leagues like the UFC, which asks fans for $45 to watch a night of action on pay-per-view television -- or via its own website. With thousands of Internet users able to watch an unauthorized broadcast and countless illicit channels springing up across the Web, the potential losses for leagues such as the UFC are devastating.
Leagues Vulnerable
The country's major sports leagues make billions selling broadcast contracts to TV networks and high-priced stadium seats, then go to great lengths to protect those businesses. For instance, in most cities, Major League Baseball does not allow fans to watch the games of their hometown team online, because local broadcasters fear it might damage the ratings of televised games.
The NFL blacks out games in the city of the home team if the stadium is not sold out. Piracy gives a fan interested only in the Baltimore Ravens, say, a reason to avoid paying $300 a year or more for satellite provider DirecTV's NFL Ticket package, which includes every game.
Conversations with representatives of MLB, the NFL, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League suggest that Internet piracy of live games is a growing problem. The NFL says it took down 4,130 unauthorized live streams of its games during the 2010 season -- a 67 percent increase from the total in 2009.
"It's a game of Whac-A-Mole," says Gary Gertzog, the NFL's senior vice president of legal and business affairs. "We tell them to stop, they agree to stop, we look later, and they are back at it. This is not where we want to see growth."
Fighting Back
To slow that growth, sports leagues, like media companies also tormented by digital pirates, are fighting back any way they can. They've teamed up in an industry coalition, they've filed lawsuits and they're lobbying for more aggressive copyright legislation. On Jan. 24, in a move reminiscent of Viacom Inc.'s unsuccessful 2007 lawsuit against YouTube, Zuffa, the Las Vegas-based owner of the UFC, sued Justin.tv in federal court in Nevada, alleging that the 4-year-old venture-capital-backed startup wasn't doing enough to keep infringing material off its website.
A Justin.tv spokesman would not comment on the suit.
Most intellectual property experts say Justin.tv complies with the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which says website owners are protected if they move expeditiously to take down infringing content when notified by a copyright holder.
That doesn't satisfy Dana White, president of the UFC, who is most critical of streaming sites that run ads alongside his copyrighted video. Says White: "The people I want to see obliterated are the guys making a business out of stealing our stuff."
U.S. Government Help
Earlier this month, the U.S. government jumped into the ring. On Feb. 2, federal investigators seized the domain names of 10 foreign-owned sites that had become hubs for sports fans looking for free sports broadcasts online. From that day on, when fans visited sites such as ATDHE.net, based in Sweden, or Rojadirecta.org, based in Spain, they were greeted by a Web page featuring the insignias of the Justice Dept., Homeland Security Dept. and National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center.
'This is a first step. It's a disruptive tactic,'' says James Hayes, special agent at Homeland Security, who led the operation.
It may also have been a symbolic one. Within a few hours the pirate sites had moved to new Web addresses, outside the reach of U.S. authorities. Their owners were openly sharing the new URLs with their followers on Twitter, and some were promising they would carry live feeds of the upcoming UFC fight. "What keeps us up at night is piracy," said Lawrence Epstein, UFC's general counsel. "If we have an Achilles' heel, this is it."
Meeting a Pirate
Last August, Muncey set out with a UFC colleague to understand the mind of the Internet pirate. The pair flew to Phoenix and met with Hazim Gaber, the former operator of the video site WatchTVSitcoms.com, who had recently been convicted of selling counterfeit cancer drugs and had agreed to cooperate with investigators and copyright owners as a condition of his 33-month prison sentence.
Gaber, 22, a native of Edmonton, Alberta, was led into a windowless room in the U.S. Federal Building wearing handcuffs. He immediately recognized the names of Muncey and his colleague from the cease-and-desist letters they had sent him over the previous three years, which he had ignored. In the ensuing discussion, Gaber gave the UFC officials a reason for optimism. He said the legal threats from sports leagues always felt hollow, and that he would have stopped posting unauthorized video if he had ever actually been sued.
Muncey says the league was emboldened by Gaber's insights. In addition to suing Justin.tv, it recently filed a series of other lawsuits against sites allegedly promoting unauthorized streams of its fights. Epstein hints that the company is currently busy preparing others.
Targeting Ad Networks
A second target could be the online advertising networks that display ads on video sites without regard for the legality of the material on those sites.
After Gaber suggested that the league "follow the money" and pursue such ad networks, the UFC met with executives from a Las Vegas online ad company called CPAlead, whose banner ads regularly appeared on martial arts enthusiast sites that hosted the league's copyrighted video without permission.
Since that meeting, the UFC says it has not seen CPAlead's ads. John T. Bryant, a CPAlead representative, says: "These aren't the types of things that CPAlead condones or supports."
Even after that success, the UFC faces an uphill battle. Many of these sites, based in countries with lax copyright enforcement, are unwilling to cooperate with U.S. companies. And given the decentralized nature of the Internet, they may be impossible to eliminate altogether.
Handy Menu
One variety of pirate video source, the so-called link site, does nothing but present a handy menu of pointers to other Web pages where Internet users can watch live games for free.
These sites, such as ATDHE, Channelsurf and Rojadirecta, do not host any video themselves, and their owners express indignation when asked about piracy.
"We just inform about sports events available on the Internet," writes Igor Seoane, the 27-year-old founder of Rojadirecta, in an e-mail to Bloomberg Businessweek. "Those events are there with or without Rojadirecta, most of them linked by any search engine. We do not think it is our responsibility to make even economical efforts to help copyright owners."
Seoane says a Spanish court dismissed a copyright case against his site in 2008. He also says that he links to 1,000 games every weekend.
Linking Sites
The operators of other linking sites are not quite as strident.
In January, ATDHE ranked as the 687th most popular site in the world, according to tracking firm Alexa. Its owners did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
On one recent evening, shortly after it had re-established itself at a new Web address (following the U.S. government intervention), the ATDHE site featured links to live broadcasts of every NBA and NHL game, in addition to several big college basketball games and international soccer matches.
NetResult, an anti-piracy firm based in the U.K., has sent numerous takedown notices to the site's Internet service provider, PeRiQuito AB, which also hosts The Pirate Bay, the BitTorrent file trading service, according to Christopher Stokes, chief executive officer of NetResult. The ISP declined to take action against ATDHE because it said no illegal streams were coming from the site.
Broadcasting School Play
Sites such as Rojadirecta and ATDHE would have nothing to link to if it weren't for the sites that actually host live video and allow it to be played by any Internet user. These sites, like Justin.tv, Ustream and dozens of others around the world, characterize themselves as "YouTubes of live video."
Many promote the ability of their users to broadcast, say, their child's school play, then stream it to relatives around the world, who can all watch at the same time.
But these sites are also magnets for users who post live copyrighted broadcasts such as TV shows and sporting events. This can be as simple as purchasing a $50 HDTV adapter, which plugs into a computer's USB port and allows the PC to receive live TV. Deploying so-called screencast programs that make copies of everything on the PC screen, a user can then capture a channel carrying a sports event and stream it over a live video site.
Some of these video hosting sites, such as Zonein.tv and vShare.tv, both based in Holland, appear to be oriented solely toward this kind of illicit use. They publish no contact information or details about their owners and are largely unresponsive to takedown requests, sports leagues say. (Muncey, of the UFC, says someone representing vShare.tv once wrote to the league demanding a payment of $5,000 per month to hire someone to scrub the site of the league's material.)
Tools to Help
The video hosting sites in the U.S. are generally more responsive to copyright owners, and most offer tools to allow leagues to quickly close down streams of their broadcasts when they find them. Sports leagues in particular praise Ustream, based in San Francisco, which they say has employees manually review channels that are suspected to contain copyrighted content (streams that suddenly attract large audiences, or are initiated by new users, are flagged).
Justin.tv, on the other hand, does not conduct such manual reviews and frustrates executives at the sports leagues, which say its users have gotten adept at quickly republishing unauthorized broadcasts as soon as they are removed.
Policing the Sites
All leagues say they actively monitor these sites for their content, but policing them has become arduous and expensive, and new sites are springing up all the time. Veetle, a live video startup run by former Stanford students and based in Palo Alto, California, pledges to abide by the DMCA by promptly removing infringing content whenever it is asked. During the UFC match, Muncey and his team identified 26 live streams of the fight on the site, and Veetle quickly complied with takedown requests.
"Our goal is to have content owners be able to identify potentially infringing content and take it down in an expeditious fashion," Bo Yang, chief executive of Veetle, said in an interview a few days after the fight.
Sports league executives naturally like to point to their limited victories in combating the pirates. A Chinese website called TVAnts.com once bedeviled MLB by posting live feeds of many games during the 2009 season. Officials from baseball's MLB.com subsidiary investigated the site and found that its domain name was registered to a computer science professor at Zhejiang University on the east coast of China.
When the site was unresponsive to takedown requests, the league wrote a letter to the university president. The school responded politely, disclaiming any involvement and offering assistance, and the site disappeared soon after.
Not Suing Fans
Still, sports leagues acknowledge that their own enforcement efforts will never fully vanquish the piracy threat. Executives at the major sports leagues also expressed little interest in suing the individual fans sitting at home watching these streams.
For one thing, this would require leagues to somehow force the video sites to disclose their users' identities. Instead, the leagues are leaning hard on legislators to increase the criminal penalties for copyright infringers and to improve the tools at the disposal of law enforcement.
One of their goals, to the alarm of advocates of an unregulated Internet, is to limit the safe harbor protections given to website operators under the DMCA.
"How does the DMCA even apply to live events?" asks Epstein, the UFC's general counsel, as he sips an energy drink at the fight in Las Vegas.
Taking Material Down
The DMCA calls for sites to take infringing material down "expeditiously" when notified by copyright holders. But, Epstein argues, that's meaningless for live sporting events, where people can get the full value of a match after watching only the final few minutes.
Sports leagues have recently offered their enthusiastic support for a bill, proposed by Senator Patrick Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont, in September, called the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, or COICA.
The law would give the Justice Department a new set of legal tools to go after "rogue sites" that are violating copyrights or facilitating the sale of counterfeit goods. Among the new tactics proposed, federal officials could compel Internet service providers to block U.S. Web users' access to overseas piracy sites and force ad networks and payment processors such as Visa to stop doing business with them.
The bill unanimously passed the Senate Judiciary Committee last year. A new version of it is expected to get a hearing by the full Senate this year.
Objections to Bill
Internet civil liberties groups have vigorously objected to the proposed law for a variety of reasons. They say it would undermine the world's trust in the U.S. stewardship of the domain name system and deprive websites of due process. The law, they add, would potentially harm all but the savviest Internet users, who would easily circumvent it by using foreign-operated Internet services to access blacklisted sites.
"The bill gives a tremendous amount of power to the government without the appropriate safeguards," says Kurt Opsahl, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights advocacy nonprofit.
Recently, opponents of the bill say, there was a fresh illustration of the futility of the bill's approach. "We've seen the problems the government has had in trying to shut down WikiLeaks," says Goldman, of Santa Clara University. "WikiLeaks has proved COICA is ill-fated."
Anti-Piracy Companies
Aside from backing new legislation, sports leagues are looking to new anti-piracy companies such as Vobile, based in Santa Clara, California, to solve their piracy problem. Vobile analyzes and creates a "digital fingerprint" of live broadcasts from TV networks and sports leagues.
Then cooperative websites and ISPs create their own fingerprint of the video streamed by their users and search Vobile's database, flagging any videos that generate a positive match and blocking any that are unauthorized by the copyright holder. MLB and the NBA have both used the service while the NFL has dropped it, because "the technology has not worked as well as they said it would," says the NFL's Gertzog.
That leaves the leagues, for the time being, with little recourse other than letters, lawsuits, lobbying -- and the kind of laborious and perhaps futile enforcement efforts of Edward Muncey at the UFC bout in Las Vegas.
That night, Muncey spends close to five straight hours at his laptop, which is so overrun with malware from visiting illicit pirate websites that it crashes frequently. As the night grinds on, the league's piracy problem grows worse.
Christmas Tree
When the main card begins at around 9:15 p.m., matching two middleweights, Brazilians Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort, Muncey grumbles, the Web "lights up like a Christmas tree" with unauthorized streams of the fight.
The fight, though, doesn't last long. The fighters circle each other warily for three minutes, and then abruptly, Silva delivers a single kick to Belfort's face, dropping him to the ground and ending the evening. The crowd erupts, but in the adjoining room, Muncey doesn't even look up from his computer. He's fixated on Justin.tv's website, where at the conclusion of the event there are still 17 live feeds of the fight listed prominently in the sports section. Although the point is now moot, Muncey keeps submitting takedown requests.
"This makes me sick inside," he says.

Sales (number) of iPSC research products worldwide have been growing at a rate of 14.7% per year for the past five years. In addition, 22% of all stem cell researchers now self-report as having used induced pluripotent stem cells within a research project. It is clear that iPSCs are a vital research trend within the scientific community. A distinctive feature of this report is an end-user survey of 293 researchers (181 U.S. / 112 International) that identify as having induced pluripotent stem cells as their core research focus. These survey findings reveal iPSC researcher needs, technical preferences, key factors influencing buying decisions, and more. They can be used to make effective product development decisions, create targeted marketing messages, and produce higher prospect-to-client conversion rates.
"Complete 2012-13 Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Industry Report" on market metrics, dynamics, and trends says continued research and experimentation has resulted in numerous advances over the last few years. In one example, the University of Michigan announced in "Circulation Research" (2012) that they had developed innovative methods for use of induced pluripotent stem cells derived from skin biopsies to create cardiac muscle cells. This accomplishment quickly fueled other research into the use of iPSCs for the reversal and repair of diseased heart tissue. Similar advances will continue to be perfected for use of reprogrammed adult cells in the treatment of other diseases and disorders. Original techniques for iPSC production, such as viral induced transcription processes, are being replaced with newer technologies as private industries join with the scientific community to develop safe and efficient methods of iPSC productio

1992 Mitsubishi Diamante • 4 cylinder 2WD Automatic • 110,000 miles
1992 Mitsubishi Diamante mileage: 110,000. I was told my car needed the valve seals in the engine replaced, and my husband wants to do the work himself. The problem is we can't find a repair manual or any other information to help him. Can you help us find any kind of manual, video, etc. For my car? Can you give me any advice on any of the above to replace the valve seals and/or rebuild the whole engine? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated, if my husband can do the work himself it will save us at least $1,500.00.
November 10, 2010.
November 10, 2010.
If you are considering rebuilding your engine, we would suggest getting an already rebuilt engine and swapping it for yours. To replace the valve stem seals, remove the cams and apply air pressure in the spark plug hole to hold the valves up. Next, remove the valve keepers and retainers to expose the seal.

To many toy companies, their products are simply a diversion, something to keep kids occupied. For MindWare, however, the toys it creates and distributes do more than simply pass the time. MindWare's line of educational toys help kids increase their brainpower and bring the entire family together. "That's really what we're all about," General Manager Jonathan Staruck says. "We are brainy toys for kids of all ages."
The Minnesota-based company has been fulfilling this mission since 1990, when founder Jeannie Voigt opened a small retail store in Minneapolis devoted to selling educational toys. Over time, MindWare has evolved into one of the largest catalog retailers in that segment. The company also has developed a robust line of its own proprietary products, which are distributed to more than 2,000 retailers across the country as well as through its catalogs and Internet sales.

People who live in large urban areas often take for granted the seemingly endless retail options near their homes or jobs. If they can't find an item of clothing or type of electronics or unit of furniture at one place, they can easily find another establishment to cater to their needs. Residents of smaller towns, however, do not have as many options, but they are still important consumers. With less competition, some small-town retailers might focus less on service and price – what is the consumer going to do? – but that is not the case with Michael Rossy Ltd.

The partnership of brothers David and Albert Maysles yielded classic documentaries like Gimme Shelter, Grey Gardens, and Salesman. Two decades after David's 1987 death, it's also produced a family feud. Celia Maysles, David's 28-year-old daughter, debuted a documentary about her late father at the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam last month. Wild Blue Yonder, which takes its name from a film David was working on independently when he died, shows that Albert (who controls the Maysles Films library) denied her access to the brothers' archives. I think, from bits of conversation that we've had before, you have some kind of a misunderstanding, he tells Celia on camera. Why the animosity? Because Albert is working on his own autobiographical project. We may have a problem with that competing with mine, he says in Celia's film, which ultimately used short fair-use clips from the brothers' films. I'm not happy Al did what he did, Celia says. But at the same time, it made my film better. And that would make my dad proud.

This week:
Jethro Tull vinyl you may not know from 25 years ago.
Gentle Giant
New releases from Kati Mac and Rodriguez
Laura Nyro
My favorite instruments are guitars and brass--and their forerunners from centuries ago. In this age - if we limit ourselves to circa 1969-71 - first thoughts gravitate to Miles Davis and the Allman Brothers. I had the honor of seeing the latter at the now defunct Fillmore East.
The bain of commercial music radio nowadays is the limited number songs forced in repetiton ad nauseum. No finesse. No sense of season. No poetry in programming. To borrow a phrase, it doesn't take a rocket scientist (or a PH.d in music) to understand that music is created with a certain mindset--in a certain time, space, intent and emotion. Its the reason we play Christmas carols in December--not August.
Going from the unofficial start of summer with Memorial Day... we time travel full tilt into Summer with The 4th!
Back when life was simpler and Mom was able to cook, I remember a holiday feast of barbecued spare ribs she prepared with onions/garlic/tomato sauce in the kitchen before I grilled them in the back yard.
Grandson of a Kentucky Governor. US Air Force Vet. Manufacturer of LSD. Pioneering Audio Engineer. Those are four titles that belong to Owsley "Bear" Stanley. Music history remembers him best for that fourth description. And it was this weekend–24 years ago–that he recorded Janis Joplin at the Carousel Ballroom--only recently released. In an age when concert sound was by and large lo-hi, Bear had radical approaches to changing the abysmal sonic scene.
As is the custom in Croudeland, I celebrate Mom's Day & Dad's Day on the show with a special CD giveaway (sonic not financial).
This week's show is something of a time traveling sandwich–the late 1990s surrounded by the 70's–and 3 different areas of the world to boot featuring our own South with Duane Allman, Scandanavia with Norwegian born Terje Rypdal, and Canada's six-string maestro Alex Lifeson.
As the years go by, I'm more conscious of linking certain albums with certain holidays. Listening to and broadcasting from my bedroom as a kid was challenging. Not like radio. Since the speakers were not directly positioned in the windows, lots of extra amperage was required to make sure the neighborhood enjoyed what I did. I had more direct feedback from the rest of the household downstairs.
On this first weekend of May... yes, there will be Beatles but not from that disc. Its a surprise. What isn't a surprise to me is how great my snap, crinkle & pop platters (a.k.a. LP records) sound. We have a saying in Croudeland. Be good to your vinyl and it will be good to you. There is a decidedly English edge to this week's assortment before we head back across the pond to the colonies. Part of a sonic celebration--WCVE Public Radio turns 24 years old this Sunday. And the Croude is now 27. No word on how old the Cricket is.
Who's next, Tommy? Ok. No more bad puns as we enter our concluding weekend of celebration with International Guitar Month (IGM).
If you are a player you'll dig this... Jimi Hendrix would have been 70 this year and Guitar Player magazine has the maestro as its cover subject for the May issue. A lot of what Jimi did has not been widely heard from across the pond but you will on this week's Croude--his BBC sessions.

"Real Housewives" star Melissa Gorga is following in Kim Zolciak, LuAnn de Lesseps and Danielle Staub's footsteps and releasing a new single. The New Jersey reality star/aspiring singer debuted her new single "On Display" on Ryan Seacrest's radio show Friday morning.
Listen to it below:
Fans of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" will recognize "On Display" as the single Melissa has been working on all season. Her husband Joe Gorga -- who's in construction management -- even built a recording studio in the basement of their home so Melissa could record her single at home.
Like her fellow Housewives' tracks, "On Display" features a heavy dance beat and generous AutoTune use. At least she's actually singing, unlike LuAnn de Lessep's spoken word "songs."
For the record, there's at least one "Housewives" star that can *actually* sing. Atlanta's Kandi Burruss was a member of the successful girl group XScape and penned many hits, including TLC's "No Scrubs," Destiny's Child's "Bills, Bills, Bills" and Kim Zolciak's "Tardy for the Party."
Which "Housewives" single is the worst?

"When you heat water above 705 degrees Fahrenheit under pressure, it becomes a 'supercritical fluid,' thicker than steam but less dense than water," said co-principal investigator William Jacoby, associate professor of biological engineering at Missouri and director of its Carbon Recycling Center. "When we add oxygen to the process, it quickly 'burns up' any carbonaceous materials, including human waste."
Jacoby said that the SCWO process has been used to treat hazardous wastes, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chemical weapons.
"In terms of human waste, the process is faster than other treatment methods, and it produces hot, and potable, water and excess energy in the form of heat," Jacoby said.
The reaction produces clean water, heat, carbon dioxide, benign salts and nitrogen, which can be used by the community or turned into business opportunities to support the system, the researchers said. For example, the water could be used in community showers or clothes-washing facilities and the heat could generate electricity.
While one team of engineers works on the technical aspects of the project, another will work in parallel on developing business plans to make the endeavor feasible not only economically, but also from a regulatory and cultural standpoint.
"The technology to treat the waste is not necessarily low-tech, but it is very sustainable, with no adverse environmental impacts, so our challenge is to make it cost-effective and self-sustaining," said co-principal investigator Jay Golden, who directs Duke's Center for Sustainability & Commerce. He is also on the faculty of Pratt and Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment.
"By working with people on the ground, we'll develop a plan for linking the system and its byproducts to specific community needs," Golden said. "More broadly

Gucci pour Homme by Gucci
I have read all the reviews about it smelling like pencil shavings, and I noticed that, too, but I don't that's a bad thing. This seems like a classy fragrance (or have I been fooled by the name?), although the drydown of musk and vanilla has too much vanilla in it for my taste. Either way, it's spicy and woody, and that's good. I would prefer it without the vanilla, but with cinnamon instead: now THAT would be masculine! --Allen-at-home

Beginning June 2009, Chalke will star in a series of Susan G. Komen for the Cure public service announcements dedicated to breast cancer awareness. She also will attend Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure(R) events throughout the year and will host her own "Passionately Pink" parties with her sisters in Canada and friends in Los Angeles.
In October 2009, Chalke will speak out about the cause in a new Hanes print advertising campaign created by The Martin Agency of Richmond, VA. The Hanes campaign website (www.hanespink.com) features highly interactive elements designed by Night Agency of New York City to inspire the public to make a difference in the breast cancer support community. Among the many features, visitors will have the ability to create their own T-shirt designs and invite friends to join the fight.
This effort is the next evolution of Chalke's continuing relationship with Hanes - she first became part of the Hanes family in 2008 when she was selected as the spokesperson for the wedgie-free Hanes No Ride Up Panty, which included a series of commercials directed by her "Scrubs" co-star Zach Braff.

- There were more than 250 Chelsea Fringe events last year
- Registration has just opened and early bird rates apply until 31 March but registration will continue right through the Fringe – 16 May to 7 June
- An estimated 200,000 people attended Fringe events over last year's three-week period.
- "Achieved 41% awareness of the Chelsea Fringe among Londoners in one year alone". Source: Fly Research, June 2012
- Projects ranged from community-garden events to avant-garde art installations, from walks, talk and performances, to workshops, dinners, demonstrations and on-street 'happenings'. Nearly all the events were free
- The Fringe, a community interest company (CIC), is almost entirely volunteer-run.
- Around 400 individuals created the events, while the Chelsea Fringe itself was run by a team of approximately 50 volunteers
- The Chelsea Fringe attracts national and international media coverage, including BBC and ITV television news, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio London, as well as articles/listings in all the major broadsheet newspapers. The Fringe was particularly well supported by The Daily Telegraph, the Independent on Sunday and The Guardian
- HRH The Duchess of Cornwall visited four Fringe venues/events in Hackney and Shoreditch across an entire morning in the middle of the Fringe's first year.
- The Chelsea Fringe is a true Fringe festival in that it operates on the Fringe of an established event or festival [in this case, Chelsea Flower Show], and it works on an 'open-access principle', in that if it's interesting, legal and on the topic of plants, gardens or landscape, it's in!
- Anyone can enter a project in the Chelsea Fringe; registration starts at £10 for a one-day event, while most projects pay £25 (volunteer/community rate)
- There is an increasing national and international component to the Fringe. In its first year a number of international artists participated, and the intention has always been to spread the Fringe ideal more widely. For 2015, 'satellite' Fringes will take place in Brighton, Bristol, Kent, Ljubljana, Norwich, Turin and Vienna
- The Chelsea Fringe operates with the blessing of the Royal Horticultural Society, organisers of Chelsea Flower Show– The Fringe does not last for just three weeks. We continue to encourage the spread of 'fringe gardening' (as we like to call it) all year round
- The Fringe was an original idea by founder-director Tim Richardson, a garden writer and historian
- Preparations for Chelsea Fringe 2015 are well under way, with the Fringe's project co-ordinators working to make ideas come to life
For more information contact founder-director Tim Richardson direct at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Military Challenge Coins - Awards - Gifts
Commemorate the military career of someone special with a gift that will be forever treasured. Our Coin Displays are the perfect way to thank them for their service to our country.
Gift giving is a fine art, especially when your recipient is especially deserving, but it gets easier when you take advantage of our 15 years of fine woodworking experience. Hand-crafted coin displays are excellent ways to protect and showcase your loved one's coin collection, and when you present a special coin in its own custom display, you elevate the moment for the worthy recipient.
Our displays showcase both sides of a challenge coin, instead of hiding half of the details that make it special. The Rotating Coin Displays allow you to switch the view easily while our Inkline Coin Displays allow a full range of adjustability, from an upright position, to a gentle incline. Give a personalized display to honor the end of a long military career, celebrate your loved one's personal achievements or simply to say thank you.
Thank military veterans
Challenge coins are collectible, tangible reminders of the debt our country owes to our most ambitious service members. Thank the veterans or current military members in your life by giving their achievements a classic, highly visible spotlight. A classic wooden display case continues a very American tradition of hands-on craftsmanship and natural materials, and best of all, it actually lives up to the duty of displaying such special coins.
Honor team players
If you're a manager, corporate buyer or business owner, you know that recognition is vital for employee morale. Loyal staff members who go above and beyond deserve your appreciation and respect, so spring for details that let them know they have it. Honor professional awards, achievements and milestones, such as 10 or 20 years of service, with this keepsake gift instead of generic certificates or useless trophies. Commemorative coins in customizable, contemporary displays are always hits as corporate gifts.
World-class woods
Each handmade coin display in our collection is one-of-a-kind, just like the coins that inspire their designs. Choose from a variety of exotic woods that range in color and grain, and enjoy fine woodworking details that bring out the natural textures without relying on any chemical stains or dyes.
Perfect finishing touches
Our attention to detail extends to your entire gift giving experience. Present your coin display in a high-quality gift box that does justice to its valuable, unique contents. Completing the gift giving experience, the detailed packaging will add to the present's wow factor and keep the display protected until it's time to be opened.
At Coin Displays, we're honored to be a part of so many memorable occasions. Our coin displays preserve the coins that commemorate your proudest moments and favorite places, and they're the perfect gifts for occasions that will eventually become fond memories too. Reward your favorite people with our handcrafted displays.

CHELMSFORD, Mass., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Magellan Biosciences, an emerging leader in systems for clinical-diagnostics, will receive the Frost & Sullivan 2009 North American Product Innovation Award for LeadCare II, a rapid, point-of-care test that enables children and adults to be screened for lead poisoning faster, easier, and more conveniently. Magellan's President of Clinical Diagnostics, James Whelan, will accept the award tomorrow night at the 2009 Excellence in Medical Technologies & Life Sciences Award Banquet in San Francisco, California.
"We are honored to receive this prestigious award, which recognizes both the technical advances required in achieving CLIA-waived status for LeadCare II, and the value of the point-of-care test in meeting a critical healthcare need," said Jim Whelan. "While there has been some encouraging news about U.S. progress in reducing lead poisoning -- this crisis is by no means over. Lead contamination remains a serious problem, and current send-out and prescription-based lead testing practices are missing the children most at risk for lead poisoning. While thankfully they are few and far between, we do get reports of isolated cases, often associated with home reconstruction, where a screening test during a routine check-up identifies a child with seriously high blood-lead levels. We had one as recently as last week. The good news is that in this case, as in all the others, the elevated results triggered an immediate and comprehensive response to attend to the child's health needs and identify and remediate the source of exposure. Unfortunately, despite its proven success in improving health outcomes, across the nation there are still barriers to widespread use of LeadCare II -- from the lack of Medicaid reimbursement to outdated regulations. We continue to work with local, state, and federal officials to ensure that all children have access to the point-of-care test."
Today, there
