Helen Reddy – Laissez les Bontemps Rouler – Louisiana Cajun Song – New Orleans
I really enjoyed making this video. I was born and raised in New York City, so my knowledge of Louisiana Cajun culture was very little at best when I was a young lad. When this song was released back in 1977, I was a mere 17 years old. When I first heard the song, I didn't think it quite belonged on the "Ear Candy" album–and further, what the heck does this song mean? Well, now that I'm older and more appreciative of various cultures, I've come to learn more about Louisiana Cajun culture and cuisine and that knowledge put this song into perspective.
This song was the only Helen Reddy tune to make its appearance on Billboard's Country chart–albeit at an abysmal No. 98. "Laissez les Bontemps (sic) Rouler" (the correct French spelling is bon temps [two words]) was released as the B side of "The Happy Girls". "The Happy Girls" was a huge disappointment for Helen Reddy–it only peaked at No. 57 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1977. "The Happy Girls" charted a bit better (No. 14) on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart–a chart that was very good to Helen whenever the pop chart wasn't.
I hope everyone who enjoys Cajun culture, crawfish, étouffée, and country music will also enjoy this video.

text: Constructed in 1891 as the university's main library, Zimmerman currently houses the department of psychology, one of Wittenberg's most popular majors. Throughout the years, Zimmerman has undergone several transformations. In the 1920s, the library was running out of space, so the Zimmerman family added an addition to the building. The newer section, constructed in the same grey limestone and in the same style, includes three rectangular windows and a hexagonal tower. In 1957, when Weaver Chapel and Thomas Library were completed, Zimmerman was no longer needed as a library, so work began to transform it for the home economics department. A two-story brick addition to the rear of the structure was part of this conversion. Since the closing of the home economics department, Zimmerman Hall first housed the history department and currently houses the psychology department. Each year a number of students join with faculty members to conduct cutting-edge research in Zimmerman. Psychology students also have an opportunity to present their senior projects at an annual conference in Chicago.

Hi everyone, messaback ;)
As many of you may already know by now, I obtained the rights to Natty15d's original works about 6 months ago. With Natty's blessing, I took on the task of further
improving upon an already exceptional piece of work.
This helmet is larger in some areas, however, it is smaller in
other areas respective to the new shape proportions. For all intents
and purposes, it has been reworked from every possible angle,
so it should be considered a resculpt.
The overlay pictures below, are approximations only. We all know
it's extremely difficult to take pictures of the exact angles that
have been captured in exhibits or film stills, but these can
surely give an idea of the level of accuracy that's been achieved.
This has been a long time coming. Without the talents of the original artist (Natty15d), in all likelihood, this would have never made it past the contemplation stages. His works are indeed as pioneering, as they are innovative, especially in the Fett community. This new helmet is only as good, as the base I started from. Thanks Nathan ;)
Although I've had other projects in the works for sometime, I've had to overcome a number of obstacles on this one, for one, a broken hand that I've only recently recovered from. It would have been done long before now.
A few points of possible interest about the helmet.
The helmet is indeed larger in some areas, and smaller in others, however, not in a purposeful attempt to change the dimensions of the original sculpt, that were painstakingly researched. The differences here, come from redesign in perspectives. It is my understanding that a great many sources were used in the original production of this piece, many of them being "Exhibit Photos", such as The Magic of Myth and The Art of Star Wars. Although I used many of the same references, as the pics indicate below, I put more of a focus on original movie stills this time around, for the simple reasoning that most fan captured reference pictures can appear distorted or somewhat out of proportion because of the many different camera's used, whereas (I've been told, not claiming to be gospel as I'm in no way an expert in these matters) that film stills, or film reference in general, could quite possibly give a more accurate representation of an original item because film production equipment and film quality camera's capture at a different shutter speed, with different exposure boundaries, capturing more of what the human eye sees, as opposed to a lower quality camera iris. Again, I claim no expertise where this is concerned, and it can be up for debate, but it made some sense. The overall look I was trying to achieve, was the film appearance. An example shown below ..
One could also argue that there were more than one ESB helmet used, I'm sure we've all seen the pics of the mutiple helmets sitting on tables at ILM, and of course there are the stunt helmets. It was my goal to try and average the look between them all.
Although it is a rescullpt, here are some of the more points of possible intereset that have been changed..
The key slots are pretty self explanitory, but note that the correct bevels immediately above and below the actual key openings.
The Dent is smaller, repositioned.
A new RF Earpiece "mounting pad", for lack of a better term. This is a tapered plateau added to side of the helmet itself, it ca be seen in the last pic. I can put a comparison shot up later to the original if there is enoug interest. The RF earpieces has been redesigned with crisp seems on the earcap as well.
The non-rangefinder earpiece is shorter
Cheek greeblie is added to moldm however it can be drilled out for mounting the brass fittings.
On with the pics ...

The 2013 2nd Annual H2Oi Beer Swap is tentatively planned to take place @ Northside Park at 7PM.
Address is:
Northside Park
125th Street
Ocean City, MD 21842
Please keep it mind this is public/city property, so NO open containers. OCPD no doubt frequents these forums and will know we are there so please be mature, courteous, and respectful.
Threw together this little shindig at SoWo this year and it was quite the hit. Instead of thinking of some other witty way to introduce the concept, I'll just copy my previous post. So here it is...
I, like I'm sure many of you, love beer. So I came up with what I thought was a pretty damn brilliant idea. Year after year I see posts in this forum asking if someone will bring them a particular brew that is not offered in their area. So why not expand upon that?
The concept is simple: Bring your local microbrews or area favorite and trade them for something new and tasty. I see it as a great opportunity to try new things, meet some people, and of course, have another reason to delicious beer.
The swap will take place on Saturday in the parking lot of Roses on 94th street at 5PM.
To ensure no run ins with Ocean City's finest, NO OPEN CONTAINERS! Bring some solo cups, or if anyone is good with graphic design make us up a logo and I'll purchase some cups for us.
And to ModestGirl for kicking me in the ass to get this thread started.

There is obviously still high demand for tickets to games – in terms of fan segmentation, what is your thinking about ticket entry points?
In our lower tier, there are currently only 2 price points – behind the goal and along the side. What that means is that there are other people who would be willing to pay more for certain locations and those who would like to pay less for other locations. We understand that our fan base want and expect different experiences and how much they are willing to pay for the experience. Our aim is to match those differing demands more closely in the future – giving as many groups of fans as possible the match experience they are looking for. If we match this more effectively in future, then this gives us greater flexibility in meeting the needs of fans who are more price sensitive.
Red members can't always get seats with their Junior Gunner children (as they go on sale earlier) and then have to pay full price for both tickets – can this be looked at?
We have increased the size of the family enclosure since we've moved to the Emirates and this season increased it to 5,000. There are some tickets set aside for Red Members and Junior Gunners and we will obviously need to look at this number again. The numbers applying in this category varies match to match and week-night to week-end fixture and we'll try and introduce some more flexibility for this category of ticket purchase.
Can the club give an indication of season-tickets prices for next season?
In terms of background, there has been 1 price increase over the last 5 years of 2% and other comparable clubs over the same period have increased prices by an average of 20-25%. We haven't as yet come to a decision on next years' General Admittance prices but we have announced our club level prices for next season and there is a weighted average increase of about 4%. We want to find a sustainable balance with the relationships with our fans.
Unlike other clubs, we have created a sustainable financial future for ourselves but understand that our fans are frustrated at the lack of trophies over the last few years. All the money we make, apart from debt repayments for the Stadium is re-invested in the club over the long-term. We are looking to be less reliant on stadium/match-day revenues as the main source of our income in the future, so that we can offer more segmented and competitive prices and we are looking to diversify our revenue streams e.g. global branding and new commercial partnerships. We as a club want to compete at the highest level and we know our fans also want this. We are able to compete with the other top clubs by not spending as much money as them and being sustainable in our finances. Our decisions are not driven by short-term thinking.
Do you think that we have settled for financial responsibility as opposed to aggressively going out to market ourselves and take some risks in investing in our player base?
We look at it in a different way. You can chase short-term success by financially stretching yourself and enjoying the glory whilst it's there. We take a long-term approach and are looking to build sustainable success. Our relationship and emotional connection with the fans is not purely based on winning trophies and we think our fans' relationship with the club is also not purely driven by success. That's not to say that being successful is not critical for a club of our size.
What was the policy in relation to the allocation of Carling Cup Final Tickets?
We reviewed the allocation of Cup Final tickets after the Champions' League final against Barcelona and liaised with numerous fan representative groups on this.As you can expect, there are many competing demands on these tickets, including long-term season ticket holders, Club level members, fans who travel to many away games and so on, so we had to come up with a fair policy of allocating Cup Final tickets. For those who went to 3 or more away games, you automatically qualified. 2 or less you had to apply. There were a significant number of people who were successful who didn't ultimately purchase so we then contacted some people who were on the standby list. We will also look at the allocation of disabled tickets for cup finals as well.
There was a game recently where the announced attendance was obviously a lot more than were physically at the game.
The numbers announced are those of ticket sales and season ticket holders who don't attend are counted in that figure. This is an issue that other clubs also face and we will take a look at it at the end of the season.
It was great that we were able to unfurl our 15 metre flag at the Carling Cup Final and that it was allowed to be moved throughout the lower tier. We asked about doing the same at the Emirates and were told that we could not move it.
The reason for this is the policy of different local authorities i.e. Brent & Islington. Islington's view is that it is potentially dangerous. We are talking with them and trying to get them to change their opinion. We have made progress with the council in that up until a couple of years ago we weren't given permission for any large flags. We understand that it's not really a viable option in the upper tier, but we are with the fans in allowing it to move in the lower tier.
Have there been any developments in terms of having some seating in the Upper Tier concourses?
We are constrained to a large extent in terms of the construction of the stadium, which does limit our options in the Upper Tier and why there hasn't been any seating in the past. We are looking at connecting some seating to the railings but at this stage we can't promise anything. Any seating, due to Health and Safety regulations would have to be hard fixed.
Is it not a human rights contravention to not be able to drink alcohol whilst watching a game – in most other sports fans can freely consume alcohol?
There were discussions about changing the ruling on this had England won the 2018 World Cup bid. As that didn't happen,it is very unlikely that the legislation surrounding this topic will change any time soon. Similar to the issue around standing areas, no government wants to change the rule on these and then be directly associated with it if something happens. However, there is a Parliamentary Select Committee looking at the Standing and Drinking topics, amongst others, so it is something that will continue to be looked at. There are also licencing implications and costs. It would cost the club £750,000 every three years for our stewards to be able to fully perform their role in the seating areas if fans were allowed to drink there. The rules are slightly different in Europe, in so far as any drink with less than 3% alcohol is deemed non-alcoholic.
In terms of seating arrangements more generally, we are re-looking at how the stadium is orientated around our differing groups of fans (e.g. family enclosure, elderly fans). The ultimate aim is to have a stadium that represents all sections of our fan base, including factoring in the price-sensitivity and age profile of people who come to the ground. Our challenge is to create and maintain a responsible and sustainable business model in the fervent world of football finance as well as ensuring that we're not in danger of losing our fan base and our ability to continually compete on the world stage. Our ultimate ambition is to give pride to our fan base without ignoring the environment that we find ourselves in. We're in favour and support the process of Financial Fair Play in football. A lot of clubs may have lost the focus as to what their role is and who they exist for. The current financial culture in football is in all probability to the detriment of the long-term interests of the game, but it is the climate that we currently find ourselves in and have to work within.
Undoubtedly, the Premier League has been successful in the quality of the football, the players it attracts and the global fan base that it now has. It's generated revenues have grown substantially over the years, but it will find it increasingly difficult to maintain that growth rate in the future.
There is probably room for some improvement in the lost property procedure at Arsena.lA mobile phone was recently lost and the customer service from the various organisations in terms of where it could have been lost (Arsenal and travel providers) was better with other organisations than with Arsenal.
Our standard procedure is that after every game, our stewards will walk through the terraces and collect any items that may have been left behind by fans. We make a log of everything that has been recovered and we take the details of any items reported lost. If there's a direct match then we get back in touch with the person. We appreciate that this particular instance may not have been handled ideally and we'll review our procedures surrounding lost items.
Inter-relationship between fans and clubs
Can the club talk to the players in terms of acknowledging fans after the game?There was no player appreciation of the fans after the Cup defeat at Manchester United. We appreciate that they're disappointed as well as we are, but it is something that needs addressing. It does seem to be a particular problem at this club more generally in terms of references to fans in relation to this and after-match interviews. In a lot of cases, fans travel long distances to watch the team and it does get annoying when they're not recognised after the game.
This is a valid point and is something that we're aware needs working on. In interviews on Arsenal.com for example, there are frequent, glowing references to fans by the players and the manager. Some players are really good and natural at it but we're aware that it is something we need to re-inforce. Other players communicate with fans in a different way using different electronic media e.g. posting on Twitter. There are numerous ways that players can connect with the fans and we'll be doing some more work in this area in the near future.
We understand that this is very important for our fans and it will be led from the captain downwards. It's not a case of the players actively not doing this. We know it's not ideal that our players clap from the half-way line and then walk off. We have to say that the support at the Old Trafford game was unbelievable and we know that it positively affected the players, even though we didn't ultimately win that game.
In the past, there has always been a tradition that when we reach the Cup Final, players wore suits during the pre-amble to the game – this time around players were wearing tracksuits for the Carling Cup Final. Is this relaxed attitude reflected on the pitch?
We've has similar comments in relation to how players turn up to away games. Ultimately, we want our players to feel as relaxed and prepared as possible. Our approach is to try and minimise and limit the pressure players feel and we are most successful on the pitch when the players go out in a relaxed, comfortable but passionate frame of mind. We wanted the build up to this game to be as normal and relaxed as possible.The players were more than aware of how important the game was. We know that some fans think that some of our players don't care – but we can assure you they do and taking the pressure off them prior to such important games helps them enormously.
It's a shame the players feel that much pressure. They are not far from being at the top and this season(apart from the Carling Cup) have only really come short against Barcelona and Manchester United in the quest for honours.
We have the youngest set of regular first team players in the premiership with an average age of 23 years. We are aware that currently, we are not the best team in England and we are constantly assessing our squad to see how we can improve it. If we fall short at key moments during a period of time then this is something that you need to address. There are different ways to address this issue but please be advised we are always conscious of it.
In terms of next season and inter-communication between forum members and fans, we will look at setting up a web/forum based system

KTRK 13 scores Greg Bailey from WCNC
The station says Allen will remain on staff as Sports Director Emeritus until his retirement at the end of the year. Allen has been with the station since 1974.
"I'm thrilled to come home to Texas and join the team at KTRK," Bailey told mikemcguff.com. "I look forward to working alongside Bob Allen and the great group he's assembled in the sports office."
Bailey has been with WCNC since 2007.
Before that he was:
- Weekend sports anchor/reporter for KING-TV in Seattle from 2000 to 2007
- Sports director/anchor at KAKE in Wichita, KS
- Weekend sports anchor/reporter at KLBK-TV in Lubbock, TX
- Sports anchor/reporter at KBTX in Bryan, TX
"Houston's such a great city and I really look forward to getting started and catching up with so many friends back home," Bailey added.
Bailey is a 2011 Emmy winner. He has also won an Edward R. Murrow and honors from the Texas Associated Press.
According to his bio, Greg likes to say he grew up "skinny and ugly" in Texas.
He is a graduate of Texas A&M. No word on what he thought of the Welcome to the SEC video the Aggies produced.

Having sampled this guy, he blows. All the other sports directors in the market are billion times better than Bailey. He is too serious and too robotic. I'm done watching 13 when he comes on the air. Mark Berman gets the majority of the exclusives in this market as it is.ReplyDelete

wish they would given position to Melton...even though, he is ill at this time. He is most deserving.ReplyDelete

Greg Bailey is just as good. Melton can't even work due to his illnes. So he can't possibly do the position. He acts like he's shy to be on TV, which is probably why you hardly saw him on the news. He's been gone for quite sometime. Who knows he may not even come back if he does not recover anytime soon. Slovak is great. It's just too bad they didn't give him the position. Maybe he didn't want the position.ReplyDelete

This guy is so awful. But maybe that is a good thing, no one was going to fill Bob Allen's shoes very well. So after we deal with Greg for a year or so they can find someone else that might be able to stick around for the next 25 years.ReplyDelete

Web browsers aren't just about navigation anymore. A decade ago, Internet Explorer was pretty much the only game in town and browsers were simply a way of getting around the World Wide Web, as it was called. Today, a web browser is much more than that; it's a center for your most crucial information and day-to-day activities. You can store your passwords, shop, catch up on the news, share links (with your other devices or friends) and download (or upload) your essential files. Used on our phones, tablets, laptops and desktops, our choice of web browser is critical to our daily lives -- and, increasingly our privacy.
The good news is that browsers are faster, boast more features and are safer than ever before. Internet Explorer was the first major browser to hit the market (remember the little "e" icon in every PC and Mac?). After losing market share to rivals like Firefox and Chrome, it has seen a resurgence of positive reviews in recent years thanks to its stellar privacy and security settings. For the past several years IE has captured well over 99 percent of malware, blowing away its competitors. Internet Explorer 11 is commended as having the fastest and most secure version in the browser's long history.
For the last several years, Firefox has been stealing away increasingly more of the browser market and is a reviewer favorite. Reviewers say Firefox isn't the fastest browser out there (that title usually goes to Chrome), but it is a great performer and boasts better customization options than other browsers.
Google Chrome, launched in 2008, is Firefox's main competitor. Like Google's search engine, Chrome is simplistic in appearance and efficient in function, but the browser has made serious strides in features and performance. Despite concerns about Google's respect for privacy, most reviewers say Chrome is now the best browser on the market.
Apple's Safari and Opera web browsers are less well known, but reviews reveal them to be somewhat worthy adversaries. Aside from Apple enthusiasts, however, reviewers are not exactly in love with Safari, and Opera has a very small share of the market. Social networking browsers like Rock Melt (which Yahoo bought and sunsetted) seem to be a thing of the past, with more and more focus being placed on mobile browsers for smartphones and tablets.
When it comes to the top-performing browsers, many Internet users won't notice small differences in page-load times, but speed is still a major factor in choosing the best browser. Not surprisingly, features like customization, tabbing, security and privacy -- and of course design and user interface -- are just as important as performance.
The browser wars have mostly boiled down to a heated competition between two industry leaders: Firefox and Chrome. Both have been updating their web browsers at breakneck speed -- as of this report, Firefox was on the beta version 29 and Chrome was up to 33. Chrome is currently on top in terms of overall positive reviews thanks to its superior speed and performance as well as an impressive array of features (among them syncing browsing history, bookmarks and tabs via a Google account; easy tab management; and voice search). Chrome, the Best Browser Overall, is very stable -- even when it crashes the tabs can be easily restored.
Chrome's rapid rise to the top of the pack isn't surprising, given Google's dominance beginning with its ever-popular search engine. Chrome is a tribute to minimalism in web design that dominates web browsers today; users want a simple, fast, no-fuss browsing experience and will pull up or add on additional features if they choose.
Firefox isn't as fast as Chrome in nearly every test, but leads the browser wars in available add-ons and extensions, reviewers say. The most popular is the security feature Adblock Plus, which filters out unwanted advertising pop-ups and various forms of malware. (Firefox is our pick for Best Customizable Browser.)
Reviewers praise Firefox and other browsers for taking a page out of the Google playbook by replacing its clunkier, busy design with a clean, simple interface. And not surprisingly, many open-source advocates and techies want to make a statement by using non-profit Mozilla's Firefox vs. Google's profit-driven Chrome -- even though Firefox receives most of its revenue from Google by making the Internet giant its default search engine.
Beyond Firefox and Chrome, a popular "alternative" browser is Maxthon. Developed by a Chinese company, Maxthon Cloud Browser offers an impressive array of features including cloud syncing between your devices.
Opera is another smaller browser that is known for speed. It has an "Off-Road" mode that compresses pages and uses cached versions of sites, which is very useful for users who don't have broadband. It's our Best Reviewed browser for slow Internet connections.
Privacy and security are becoming increasingly important for Internet users, and browsers are seen as a key in protecting user data and information. In terms of security, Google uses a technique called "sandboxing", which means, essentially, that applications and processes run separately from each other, limiting a computer's exposure to attacks. This also means Chrome won't crash if you visit a website that's unstable or has features that overload your system. You can close the tab that's causing issues or use the Chrome Task Manager diagnostic tool to close just the part of the site that's causing the overload -- a media player, for example.
But Chrome's convenient features (like syncing via your Google account or returning to relevant sites based on your search history) don't sit well with skeptics who note that the browser isn't the best for privacy. As a PCMag.com editor remarks: "If you're paranoid, you won't want to have software on your computer from the company that makes its living by profiling users for targeted advertisement. Nearly every feature added to Chrome gives the company (Google) another way to keep tabs on you, even the spell-checker!"
In one unscientific poll, users chose Firefox as their preferred browser for trustworthiness; Chrome did not score well. (Google has shelled out millions in lawsuits for ignoring user demands not to be tracked.) But while Firefox is friendlier than Chrome in terms of private browsing and stopping third parties from tracking your browsing history, Firefox performs poorly in catching malware in independent tests.
The most highly recommended browser for privacy and security is actually Internet Explorer. Microsoft's browser may not be the most obvious choice for privacy given IE's parent company and its reputation for hardball business practices, but Internet Explorer has made privacy and security its calling card. It consistently catches over 99 percent of malware threats in NSS Labs tests (an industry benchmark) and sets private browsing and Do Not Track as defaults. (The privacy settings can be changed.)

|Wheels & Tires The place to go for answers on wheel types, tire sizes, offset, wheel patterns and more.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
yeah that's what i was thinking as well but they put the stock tire size in the computer and asked what i put on and said that there was only 1.5" difference and wouldn't cause a problem as the car came with 205/50r16 tires and alloys as an option so that would not cause a lack of power.
After i got home from the dealer i looked at the tires and noticed that one looked practically brand new and the others had a little wear on then so the 1/4" thing made perfect sense to me
Actually my first guess from bumping the size up that much was that the trans. might have been the signal for the "limp" mode.
1 size larger tires, and 1"" larger wheels.... Kinda like putting "mudders" on a Jeep..
would make it work a bit harder, depending on driving conditions might have heated it enough to start "limping"
That's not a problem i just wish someone would have told me before i went and bought rims and tires that they all had to be within 1/4" of each other as i thought that the advanctrac was only on 4x4's and all wheel drives but to put it on a FWD car seems kind of pointless. then again i guess FORD has an "IN" with the tire companies so we have to buy 4 tires at a time so if we have a blow out on one tire and instead of replacing ONE tire we have to replace ALL 4 tires i can only say the consumer is the one getting Screwed over.
But this is just my opinion and my mounting Hatred for some things car companies do to nickle and dime us to death
|Thanks for sharing the information. I was not aware that the AdvancTrac was so sensitive (maybe a little too sensitive based on your discussions with the Ford people). Others will benefit from this info.
Ok so after a little searching and all i made it back to ford and i guess they answered my question better than i could find on the internet. on my 2008 ford focus it has the TPMS, AdvancTrac Traction Control( i didn't think they installed this on a FWD car ) but after about 45 mins sitting with the service advisor he couldn't give me an answer other than the TPMS wouldn't put the car in limp mode then he pulls my vin and after searching the data base he goes "Huh, this car has advance trac traction control and if the tires were used they have to be within 1/4" difference in total circumference between all 4 tires measured at the center of the tire or the car would think the car was spinning and activate the traction control which would put the car in limp mode to try and regain traction(which would cause the lack of power).
So instead of hit and missing i sold the rims and tires and will just look for a set of new ones and be done with it
If i would have known about all the little things that cause problems i would have just bought a different style of car this one is really starting to annoy me
since i had my PCM updated i have noticed my Low fuel doesn't Ding and i know that the TPMS doesn't DING either so i am not sure what all was written in the updated pcm from ford but it cost me 80 bucks and my mileage seemed to have gotten better as well maybe the 80 bucks was worth it only time will tell, Just watch out for the windshield sprayers that attach to the hood as mine broke and sprayed the motor with windshield washer and shorted out one of my coils (wasn't a needed expense when i was on holidays) but these are known to break down and shatter which is why i couldn't understand why i was charged 10 bucks for a new one(if something is known to cause problems ford should have put out a recall notice and replaced them with something other than plastic which doesn't deteriorate over time)
So maybe the update in the pcm was written to add the tpms limp mode (I don't Know) they don't say anything they just say oh you have an update for the pcm and update it without an explanation of what it includes:Even updates for a computer tells you what has been changed!!!!
|I know my moms 2008 didn't throw a fit when she it a pot hole and destroyed her tire, but TPMS dinged the same second we hit the pothole. But I don't remember her being restricted....
the car had 195/60r15 and i put 205/60r16 car drove good for about 20km then the light came on and i guess it went into limp mode..
My guess is as soon as the light comes on the car detects a flat tire and instead of letting you keep traveling at freeway speeds it will slow the car down gradually and safely so the problem can be addressed . i know that DODGE does the same thing i talked to ford they won't give me any info on it other than buy another set of sensors..
the tires i know were too big as after the purchase i went online and found that 205/50r16 were the biggest i can put on it so it isn't the 205 or 16"wheel that was the problem in was tire height. oh well i will just wait on them till it gets really ugly for weather here in BC,Canada then i will make my money back plus.
apparently the wheels had no issues or problems on a 2007 focus which is what the guy i got them off of had them on
|This is the first time I heard of TPMS sensors working with the control module and putting the car in what sounds like limp mode. I wasn't aware the system was designed to do that. What size tire and wheels did you upgrade to? What was your original tire size.
|ok the light finally came on and right off the bat i noticed major drivability issues. right after the light came on i had no throttle response and i couldn't get the car over 60km/h or approx 40 mph and my gas milage dropped like a rock the tire shop i went to said there would be no problems but i guess that might have been the older models and or the canadian standards have stiffened up alot put my original tires back on milage went up and no problem getting to freeway speeds now. so i am selling my new (used) rims and tires and going to look at getting some rubber to replace the stock tires

Brian Wilson's Lost Rap Recording: Smart Girls
This is just a hearty head scratcher to send you off into Thursday night fun times. Seems like ol Beach Boy buddy himself, Brian Wilson, went and recorded a rap track in 1989 and it's done up and surfaced, so sure, we gave it a listen. Let the hilarity ensue.
Got this info from some pals, so it's a copy and paste job we'll do, simply because they explain it much better than we ever could. (via Mixpak via WFMU)
In 1989 Brian Wilson began recording "Sweet Insanity", an album that was due for release in 1991 but was rejected by Sire. The album was made during one of Wilson's supposedly troubled periods when he was under the influence of psychologist Eugene Landy (who was listed as a co-producer) and included guest performances by both Bob Dylan and Weird Al Yankovic. The album has long been available as a bootleg and four of the songs were subsequently released on later albums.
"Smart Girls" was produced by Matt Dike, the co-founder of Delicious Vinyl who was also part of the production team behind hits by Tone Loc and Young MC. By varying accounts Dike was at one time a member of the Dust Brothers and responsible for a some of the production on The Beastie Boy's "Paul's Boutique" which was recorded in 1989 (roughly the same time as Wilson's album). You can actually hear some vague links as "Smart Girls" employs a similar cut-and-paste sample aesthetic (to far worse effect) as bits of past Beach Boy hits are chopped up and sprinkled throughout the song. "Smart Girls" was supposedly released as a promo to radio stations and Wilson played the song on the air during an interview on Dr. Demento's show in 1992. The LA Weekly dug up this "Brains and Genius" J-Card at a used record shop which may be the radio promo or something else entirely.

Hi all,
I would like to recommend a Free MMORPG caled Voyage Century Online.
I started the game about 3 years ago and it is just GREAT .
I'm a big fan of Pirates and ships and the open sea. The game is a composition of Land Battles and Sea Battles. There are skills and professions for sea battles and for land battle. When you play on land the game is like any other mmorpg ... monsters, quests gold (in this chase silver ), instances, dungeons and PVP. But then when you start to sail of to the open sea that is when it starts to be unique and interesting. The best thing is that they compiled the two aspect of the game in such a great way that the player is able to decide what he will do and when will he do it. Example : if you like the land battle more then sea battle you can chose a profession that grants you that bonuses and if you don't want to do open sea gaming well you don't have to. The game will newer, except the tutorial , MAKE YOU do some aspects of the game you don't like. Many players play the game just for the action or for the trading or robbing ships and selling their goods ... and they are never forced to do anything else. SO if you like how it sounds give it a try and it is 100% free. There is an Item Mall for those who like to spend money on games I'm not one of them , but the Item mall items can be bought in game from other playes so i newer felt like i needed IM.
You can sign up and download the game here : http://buzz.igg.com/vc/3368046
P.S. : for those ppl out there who liked : Pirates(AMIGA) High Sea Traders(AMIGA) , pirates of the caribbean (PC), Age of Pirates (PC),Port Royale (PC) IS A MUST TRY GAME !

And is it the more the merrier when it comes to decoys on open bodies of water?

Just be SURE to use the right temp catylist for the ambient temp when you shoot it. Using the high temp when it's around 80-85 will slow it down a little more on the dry time which can be a big help on the flow out so don't be afraid to use it.If it's 75 or under,go with the next lower catylist. I think they only have 2 temp's for that clear,ask your supplier and make SURE it's for the 3:1 clear.
Lay you 2-3 initial coats of clear and color sand it out being carefull to recheck for any odd scratch patterns with a grease & wax remover or the 50/50 alc.water spray. Resand where needed to straighten it up.
Shoot your last 2-3 coats of clear,reduce each batch 10% with Nason reducer,proper temp of course,and shoot the final coat's of clear.
I have not used the Endust wipe's,just the spray on plain cheese cloth and it does work BUT,and I say BUT, Don't spray it on heavy,just dust the cloth and let it air out for 10 min. or so before LIGHTLY tacking the car off.
Or, Just drag out the chain out of the 4X4 and connect it to the BODY someplace out of the way and let it lay on the concrete.
Do the clear EARLY in the morning,like shortly after daylight,and the bug/trash factor will be at it's lowest of the day.
Take a box fan and set it up on a step ladder or such,secured of course, at the frount and set it on LOW and have a light breeze to help push out the fumes towards the open end of the carport.
|ok, thanks.
|No sealer should be needed, urethane primers will keep your fillers from bleeding. Most sealers are just a reduced urethane primer anyway, some are epoxy based. You'll get better results without using a sealer.
thanks for the suggestions
I'll try and answer your questions.
1. you definately need to apply some primer over the metal glaze and filler areas and sand it one more time. Paint can't be applied directly over fillers.
2. you can wetsand your clear and apply more, if it's a 3-1mix I would keep the ratio the same and air pressure.
3. you shouldn't need to wetsand your basecoat between coats, if you like you could just knock any nibs off between coats if you let the paint flash long enough but there shouldn't be any need to sand the whole car if the paint is going on alright.
4. I don't know what your carport is like to spray in so I really can't make any suggestions there but watch your health and make sure you wear a good mask with the door open and or fans to get the fumes out.
5. no experience with endust yet.
Couple of paint questions
Im about to paint a car next week and I got a couple of questions before I do. Although I have done repairs's and partial painting, this will be my first ever complete paint job.
1. My hood was in very bad shape. After days and days of working it, I got quite a bit of metal glaze in it were it was wavy and a few spots of regular filler. Should I use a sealer on this before my base coat? (BTW, I have a quart of sealer left over)
2. Does wet sanding after the 2nd coat of clear with 600 grit and then laying down a third runnier (flow) coat of clear make it extra smooth as suggested? DO I just use more activator or do I use reducer in the clear and by how much? (Nason 3:1 clear) Do I turn down the air pressure on the last coat of clear?
3. What about the base coat. Is there any advantage to wet sanding the base coat between coats with some 1500-2000 grit? (It was mentioned to me, but I don't think there is any advantage)
4. I will be painting this in a kinda small carport (20 x 12). It is alot cleaner and less dusty than any shop I could use. I was gonna use plastic sheeting to seal the one open side and the open door off, but Im worried about the overspray floating around in the somewhat small area and landing on the fresh paint. Will it be ok to go ahead and seal it off an maybe use 2 or 3 fans to help pull the overspray out? Or should I leave the door open and wet everything down real good?
5. I read about people using the Endust cleaning wipes as a tack rag and some said it was better because it took the static out of the panels and keeps dirt and bugs from sticking to the car. Does it leave anything behind on the paint or is it just alcohol that evaperates? Do you tack rag it after you use the endust wipes or just the endust wipes?
Thanks for you help and any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

President Laszio Solyom of Hungary was criticized by Liberal legislators for blocking legislation that would have placed new curbs on those guilty of domestic violence. The president argued the proposed law defined the meaning of "relative" and "violence"too loosely. He claimed the measures would "disproportionately limit the freedom of movement of the accused." It appears Solyom is more concerned with the rights of people who threaten and abuse than with those who are subjected to ongoing domestic physical and verbal abuse. According to sponsors of the bill, Hungarian statistics indicate the first request by a victim who has been subject to domestic violence only comes after years of such attacks.
If President Solyom believes the current legislation violates the Hungarian constitution, he might offer corrections to the measures to ensure they are legal. In the absence of any action on his part to reach out for legislation to protect those being abused in marriages, it certainly raises questions as to what he regards as important in the area of domestic violence.

How do you feel about women giving their man an ultimatum, like an engagement proposal deadline?
I am all for women standing their ground and putting down their foot. I know one woman who after a year asked her man where it was going. He said "what do you mean? I thought we were having fun" she told him if he didn't know now, he never would, and dumped him. Three months later he showed up with a ring. Ten years later, they are still happily married. I don't think a man should waste a woman's time. If you need to kick his ass to the curb to get him to commit, then do it. Just be prepared that he may commit to a life without you. But, better to know now than three years from now.

How To I Fix My Credit
Are you worried that your credit is taking the wrong course by the day? Perhaps there are things that you are doing which are hurting your credit. In most cases, credit deterioration is not triggered by any other person apart from the account owner. In this regard, you might find it necessary to scrutinize your financial behaviors and see if they have anything to do with your bad credit situation.
There are so many ways you can use to rectify your credit and bring it back on its feet again. It all depends on the kind of approach you give the entire quest. You will be amazed to know that the deal is not daunting after all.
So, which are some of the best ways to fix your credit?
Narrow Down Expenses
If you are the kind of person who lives a life of indulgence and unnecessary expenses, then your credit might be on the verge of collapsing. It is important to note that expenses will always be there. However, there are expenses which you can live without. Such kind of expenses should be reduced unconditionally. That way, the larger part of your credit will be repaired.
Use Credit Cards Wisely
The fact that you have all your credit cards at your disposal does not mean that you should use them the way you feel like. You should understand that inconsiderate use of credit cards are a core cause of bad credit among people. You must therefore learn to use the cards only when need arises. That way, your credit will be kept on the safe side.
Consult A professional
There are times when fixing your credit might seem too tough for you. If that is the case with you, it is advised that you consult a professional in the financial divide. This is one of the best ways to get ideas on how to fix your credit effectively.

The romance of the FA Cup survives. Wigan Athletic, a non-League club until 1978, won it on their first appearance in a final yesterday in a dramatic last 10 minutes during which the hot favourites, Manchester City, had Pablo Zabaleta sent off and conceded the only goal to Ben Watson. The former Crystal Palace midfielder, on as a late substitute, headed in Sean Maloney's corner just as four minutes of added time were announced.

Fears that the final would be the most one-sided since Manchester United beat Millwall in 2004 proved happily unfounded. Indeed, Wigan, 40 points behind their opponents in the Premier League and still in serious danger of relegation, could have won more decisively had their finishing been more clinical. It was their one fault, as it had been in the recent 1-0 defeat at the Etihad.
City, apart from a spell on either side of half-time, were as disappointing as in their defence of the League title this season, and if the board were waiting for this result before deciding whether to dispense with Roberto Mancini he can expect to receive a thumbs-down.
The manager was in defiant mood afterwards, but he has clearly received no reassurance about his future. The Community Shield will be the only trophy in the Etihad cupboard this year, which is not what the Abu Dhabi owners signed up for, committing sums enabling a team to be fielded yesterday that cost 10 times as much as Wigan's.
The latter's impressive manager, Roberto Martinez, will also face questions and decisions about his future this summer, especially with Everton looking for an accomplished successor to David Moyes. Before contemplating anything personal, however, Martinez must attempt to bring off another supreme achievement by taking enough points from Arsenal on Tuesday and Aston Villa next Sunday to avoid becoming the first team to win the Cup and be relegated in the same year.
An optimist by nature, he was forced to concede that although this triumph would help "emotionally", he did not know how quickly the players would recover physically. "It's a shame the Cup final could not be the last game of the season so we could celebrate properly," he said. "But we face adversity and we don't moan about it."
The Wigan faithful had chorused "I'm A Believer" before kick-off in the knowledge that it was going to take a leap of faith to end a run of seven successive defeats by City in which they had not scored a goal.
A defence missing four players was grateful that Antolin Alcaraz was able to start, which he did as one of three centre-backs who City found difficulty in bypassing. James McArthur and Roger Espinoza operated effectively as wing-backs, leaving Callum McManaman and Arouna Koné out on the flanks.
McManaman came to prominence only after scoring in the quarter-final against his boyhood club Everton, a feat that he repeated in the semi-final against Millwall. Although there has been criticism about playing the semi-finals at Wembley, it helped the much less experienced Wigan team.
City may have made the first chance of the game but were unable to establish the domination that the League table suggested might have resulted. The incident in the third minute, when Carlos Tevez's free-kick came back off the defensive wall to Yaya Touré, bringing a low save by Joel Robles, proved to be no precedent. Soon afterwards McManaman checked inside Matija Nastasic and curled a shot wide of the far post.
He waited a fraction too long, and the same point applied later in the half. Alcaraz, romping boldly forward from the back, set him away in the inside-left channel. Forced wide, he doubled back but could do no more than hit a shot that would have defeated Joe Hart but was blocked by a retreating Zabaleta.
Hart had been brought back for the final after the unfortunate Costel Pantilimon played in every other round, conceding only one goal. Wigan also changed their keeper from the semi-final, Robles replacing the occasionally erratic Ali Al Habsi and saving them when City produced their most fluent move on the half-hour. Samir Nasri sent Sergio Aguero to the byline, from where he pulled the ball back for Tevez. The Argentinian must have felt he had scored, but looked on in disbelief as Robles saved with his foot.
It was an expression of Mancini's dissatisfaction that within eight minutes of the resumption Milner was on for Nasri, soon to be followed by Jack Rodwell for Tevez. The underdogs kept yapping away, and after Zabaleta received his second yellow card for crashing into Maloney, Wigan were on their way to making history.
Red cards in FA Cup finals: Zabaleta joins unwanted group
Pablo Zabaleta's was the third red card in an FA Cup final, but the previous two finished with the 10 men lifting the trophy. In 1985 Kevin Moran became the first man to be dismissed in a final when he was sent off for a professional foul – bringing down Peter Reid – playing for Manchester United against Everton. Twenty years later in Cardiff, Jose Antonio Reyes was dismissed for two yellow cards but his Arsenal team went on to beat Manchester United on penalties.
Zabaleta's two cautions both came for second-half fouls on the game's outstanding player, Callum McManaman. The first was needless. It was one of those increasingly common counterattack-disrupting tugs at a player who is breaking free, but McManaman was a long way from goal and no real threat was apparent. The second challenge, though, had to be made, it being a desperate lunge as the youngster ran clear.
Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Hart; Zabaleta, Nastasic, Kompany, Clichy; Y Touré, Barry; Silva, Aguero, Nasri (Milner, 54); Tevez (Rodwell, 69).
Wigan (3-5-2): Robles; Boyce, Scharner, Alcaraz; McArthur,McCarthy Maloney, Gomez (Watson, 81), Espinoza; McManaman, Koné.

The men's team claimed fifth place while the women's team finished in sixth place in the meet with strong fields on both sides.
For the men, senior Alexander Kimble (Green Bay, Wis.) and sophomore Dalton Woodworth (Sparta, Wis.) both crossed the finish line in 20:16 as the top-four Phoenix runners were within eight seconds of each other. Kimble just edged Woodworth for 23rd place and the duo was followed immediately by junior Andrew Sorenson (Onalaska, Wis.) and freshman Eric Bilitz (Fond du Lac, Wis.) in 25th (20:21) and 26th places (20:24), respectively. Another freshman – Austin Gokey (De Pere, Wis.) – rounded out the scoring for the Phoenix in 31st place (21:24).
The host Badgers had the top-four finishers in the meet and took first place with 25 points. Loyola (38 points), Marquette (62) and DePaul (119) were second through fourth in front of the Phoenix.
On the women's side, sophomore Sarah Mauel (Green Bay, Wis.) paced the Phoenix in 30th place, crossing the finish line in 15:17. Freshman Breanna Suess (Luxemburg, Wis.) had an impressive Green Bay debut, taking second on the team and 35th overall (16:05). The Phoenix, competing without injured junior Nicole Will (Luxemburg, Wis.), had junior Sarah Frelich (Denmark, Wis.), sophomore Rachel Crites (Dousman, Wis.) and senior Kristi Petasek (New Franken, Wis.) round out the top-five runners.
Northwestern (45 points) won the team title on the women's side with Wisconsin (57), Loyola (61), Marquette (66) and DePaul (154) also finishing in the top-five.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
On June 29, 2011, Washoe county commissioner Robert Larkin attended Reno Library's dedication and recognized Multnomah Reno-Tahoe as the first theological library in the state of Nevada. He will be introducing a proclamation to the county commissioners in August to officially recognize Multnomah's library.
This is one of the first steps toward being able to offer a full 4-year degree in Reno without students needing to travel to the home campus in Portland, Oregon. The library also serves as a resource to local pastors and theology researchers.
Administrators and faculty from the Portland campus joined the administration and faculty from the Reno-Tahoe campus to welcome local pastors and current students to this momentous dedication.
Special guest Betty Squires and her late husband, John Squires, were recognized at the dedication for their lifetime commitment to Christian education. Betty donated a portion of John's books to Multnomah and pledged her continuing support. A plaque will be hung in the library to recognize them.
Visit the library dedication blog post for photos of the event.
"The Library Dedication last June on Multnomah's Reno-Tahoe campus marked a significant milestone in the growth of this important teaching site," Dr. Lockwood said. "Through the generosity of a committed donor and the hard work of the Reno staff, the library was dedicated with almost 6,000 volumes catalogued and shelved in an attractive and inviting library space. This propels us a long ways toward our goal of 10,000 volumes, an important benchmark in preparing the campus for a future accreditation site visit. There was a great sense of excitement among the forty guests at the dedication. I believe the Lord will use Multnomah's Reno campus-and its growing library-to impact the church and community of the greater Reno-Tahoe area as men and women are trained in God's Word."
For more information about the Reno Library, contact John McKendricks at Multnomah's Reno-Tahoe campus at 775.849.4983 or E-mail email@example.com.
Multnomah University is a fully accredited, private, non-denominational, Christian institution of higher education, located in Portland, Oregon, with teaching sites in Reno, Nevada, and Anchorage, Alaska. Made up of an undergraduate Bible college, a biblical seminary, graduate programs, an adult degree completion program, and an online distance-learning program, Multnomah issues bachelor's and master's degrees, and professional certifications and endorsements.

Lukasz Fabianski admits that Poland's Euro 2012 group "is not the worst ever" but he believes every team in it will be confident of progress.
The co-hosts open their campaign on June 8 against Greece, before facing Andrey Arshavin's Russia and then a Czech Republic side captained by Tomas Rosicky.
Fabianski sees Russia as marginal favourites to win Group A, but says Poland can be confident of making it through to the quarter finals.
"I was watching [the draw] and before the last team was drawn for our group, I was texting Tomas Rosicky and we were saying, 'get us Russia' and we got Russia. We were laughing about it afterwards - it's not the worst group ever in the history of the Euros!" Fabianski told Arsenal Player.
"Maybe Russia is a bit more above the other teams, but not much, and every single team has a chance to go through. The teams that don't go through will be really, really disappointed because that is a group where everyone can beat everyone.
"Now in the Czech Republic, in Poland, in Russia they are all saying, 'you have to go through to the next round'. That may be the worst part of that group!"
While Fabianski does not expect Poland to win the European Championship, he believes anything could happen once the tournament starts.
"Realistically, it will be hard to win it. Optimistically, the quarter finals is the main target for us," he said.
"When you remember Greece in Portugal [at Euro 2004], they were not favourites but they won it. You never know in competitions like that, every game can help you get to a higher level, so hopefully it will be like that [for Poland].
"Obviously Spain and Holland [are favourites]. Italy have a good record when you look at their qualification games. Okay…England too! All those big teams, I don't think it will ever change when it comes to Europe."

Quilts Show Alzheimer's Patients Appreciation for Study Participation
Quilters have long known that a quilt is a loving homage that bonds quilters with recipients across time, across generations and across vast distances. A quilt has a unique nurturing effect that comforts and soothes the soul. The warmth of a quilt and its patterns frequently suggest a simpler time that resonates with Alzheimer's patients.
Since January of 2010 the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) has been giving newly-made quilts to patients enrolled in Alzheimer's studies affiliated with the ADCS throughout the United States. The quilts have been made by countless, selfless quilters throughout the country. Many of the quilters have or had family members with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Others simply want to do good or find a loving home for their cherished work of art. When quilts arrive at the ADCS they are often accompanied by letters detailing memories and stories of why people have chosen to make and donate a quilt to the project. Just as touching are the stories from the research sites of how grateful study participants are who receive the hand-made quilts.
If you are interested in donating a new, lap-sized quilt it should be approximately 45-50 inches wide and 50 to 55 inches long, and made of 100% cotton or flannel. A little larger or a little smaller is fine. You can use any design or pattern. The study participants are both men and women therefore a variety of colors work best. Or you can make a "themed" quilt specifically for a woman or a man. We've received very feminine pink and flowery quilts that the women adore as well as quilts featuring trucks, cars, golfing, and plaids that appeal to the men. There is no deadline. Whenever you can make and send a quilt will be fine. Some quilters have put a label on the back with their name and city. Other labels thank the recipient for participating in AD research. But labels are optional; they are neither necessary nor required.
We receive the quilts here at our office and distribute them to our research study sites located throughout the U.S. when they notify us of newly enrolled participants. We acknowledge the receipt of all quilts. Should you decide to make one or more for our study participants, in advance, thank you from the depths of our hearts.
Please mail the quilts to the following address:
