At night Elsa takes refuge in her grandmother's stories, in the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas, where everybody is different and nobody needs to be normal. Elsa's greatest adventure starts when her beloved grandmother dies and she leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to those she has wronged.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is a remarkable true story about human inventiveness and its power to overcome crippling adversity.

Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz
February 26 at 7 pm
Paying homage to Agatha Christie in a chilling, ingeniously original modern-day mystery, this tale follows editor Susan Ryeland as she is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, believing it will not be much different from any of his others. She's already intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. Despite Alan's troubling behavior, his traditional formula has proved so hugely successful Susan must continue to forge ahead if she wants to keep her job. Conway's latest tale has Atticus investigating a murder at a local manor house. As expected, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more she's convinced that there is another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder. Already acclaimed, Magpie Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction in which the reader becomes the detective.
The Drifter by Nicholas Petrie
March 19 at 7 pm
Suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and "white noise," a buzzing claustrophobia, Peter Ash came home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. His illness has driven him to spend a year roaming in nature, sleeping under the stars. But when a fellow Marine commits suicide, Ash returns to civilization to help the man's widow with home repairs. Under her porch, he finds more than he bargained for: a large, mean dog...and a suitcase stuffed with cash and explosives. As Ash begins to investigate this unexpected discovery, he finds himself at the center of a plot that is far larger than he could have imagined...and it may lead straight back to the world he thought he'd escaped.
Set in Darkness by Ian Rankin
April 16 at 7 pm
John Rebus is kept quite busy at Queensbury House, the home of Scotland's new rulers, on the eve of the first Scottish parliament in three hundred years. Edinburgh is rife with political passions and expectations. But that quickly changes, however, when a long-dead body is discovered in a Queensbury House fireplace, a homeless man throws himself off a bridge - leaving behind a suitcase full of cash - and an up-and-coming politician is found murdered. Exploring the links between the three deaths lead Rebus to a confrontation with one of Edinburgh's most notorious criminals, a man he thought he'd put in jail for life. Someone is going to make a lot of money out of Scotland's independence - and, as Inspector Rebus knows all too well, where there's big money at stake, darkness gathers.
The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny
May 21 at 7 pm
A sleepy vacation destination, the peace of Three Pines is shattered as families prepare to head back to the city and children say goodbye to summer. A stranger is found murdered in the village bistro and antiques store, and clues point to the owner Oliver being the killer. The novel follows Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, who slowly is revealing the villager's secrets and follows a trail of clues and treasures into the woods and across the continent.
Huron Public Library is proud to present a monthly meeting of the grass roots community discussion movement, Socrates Café. The group is moderated by Jarret Pervola, professor of philosophy and the arts at Lorain County Community College. Pervola brought the concept to the Library in 2011. It is now entering its fourth successful year.
Summer Dates: Wednesdays- March 21, April 18, and May 16 at 7 pm
While dates are determined in advance on a season-by-season basis, discussion topics are not. Socrates Café is, in the spirit of its great philosophical namesake, concerned with allowing the participants of the regular discussions to determine the ongoing course of their conversations. Each month's topic flows out of the preceding meeting's conversation and hence the interests and concerns of those participating.

Andy Murray to face Jordan Thompson at Queen's Club after injury to Aljaz Bedene
Thompson, ranked 90, will face world No 1 for first time
By Raz Mirza at Queen's Club
Last Updated: 20/06/17 3:29pm
Lucky loser Jordan Thompson has stepped in for the injured Aljaz Bedene and will face defending champion Andy Murray in the first round at Queen's Club on Tuesday.
Bedene had been due to take on Murray in a repeat of their Aegon Championships meeting last year, which the Scot won in straight sets.
But the British No 4 has been forced to withdraw because of a wrist injury meaning 23-year-old Thompson will take his place.
The right-handed Australian is ranked No 90 and he reached the final of the Surbiton challenger last week. He lost to Frenchman Jeremy Chardy in the second round of qualifying on Sunday.
But he will now meet Murray, who is a five-time winner of the tournament in west London, for the very first time.
Bedene faces a race against time to be fit for Wimbledon, which starts in less than two weeks on July 3, but he is "confident" of playing at The All England Club.
"I'm still confident I will be able to play. Maybe I won't be 100 per cent," Bedene said.
"I had problems in the French Open. It didn't get any better so yesterday (Monday) I had an MRI scan, which shows an injury on the right wrist."
For those on the move, we will have Queen's Club, Halle and Wimbledon covered via our website skysports.com/tennis, our app for mobile devices and iPad, or follow our Twitter account @SkySportsTennis to join in the conversation. Can Andy Murray retain The All England Club title this summer? Have your say...

Read the comment from <stdarg.h>: /* Define va_list, if desired, from __gnuc_va_list. */ /* We deliberately do not define va_list when called from stdio.h, because ANSI C says that stdio.h is not supposed to define va_list. stdio.h needs to have access to that data type, but must not use that name. It should use the name __gnuc_va_list, which is safe because it is reserved for the implementation. */ Farid.

An exploration of the social aspects of race on the Williams campus is the focus of a project called "Introduce Race." Organized by members of this year's Gargoyle Society, the project centers around the community's experiences with and responses to issues of race. The students hope to "increase a culture of understanding and communication," as Jen Geiger '01 said in an opinion piece appearing in last week's Record.
Geiger is working on the endeavor with three other students – Royce Smith '01, Lesley Reith '01 and Dayna Baskette '03. The project is scheduled to continue through the year if response from the College community is good. "So far, the response has been very positive," Smith said, referring to students' thoughts on the project itself and to the amount and quality of responses that it has elicited.
"If we can get past the politicization [of race] then we'll be able to understand each other more," said Smith. "Race really is a social construct."
As the first part of the project, Smith and the other students have been requesting student and faculty responses for about a week. "We'll collect stories until winter study," Geiger said, so that Gargoyle can publish an anthology of responses by February. If the response continues to be positive, Gargoyle plans on staging another round of forums to discuss the results.
The first round of forums is running this fall. The first, which took place last Thursday, focused on Latino identity. Next Wednesday the project hosts its next forum – held in conjunction with the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender Union (BGLTU) – on "Coming out in Color."
Upcoming forums will include many groups on campus, including the Black Student Union (BSU), the Williams Christian Fellowship (WCF), the Newman Association, the Williams Feminist Alliance (WFA), Students of Caribbean Ancestry (SoCA), the International Club, Students of Mixed Heritage (SoMH), Williams African Students Organization and the Jewish Association. The sessions are being recorded on video and may possibly be used in future Students Promoting Awareness, Respect, and Community (SPARC) workshops.
The project coordinators said that the forum aims to help students of all backgrounds come to terms with issues of ethnicity. "Race is a phenomenon that people think of because they're forced to…and a lot of the time, the majority of the community doesn't have to consider it an issue," said Smith.
Any and all experiences with race are welcome, including "the recognition of the fact that you're white, rich and privileged," said Geiger – because this recognition is key to accepting other races and identities, according to the organizers.
However, Smith said, "it's not as simple as attending a forum…it's about sitting down on your own time, your own terms and reflecting what [race] means to you." All members of the community are welcome to participate, with the option of telling a story, responding to a question such as "reflect upon a situation that made you aware that someone close to you was a member of a different race than yours," or attending one or more forums. The fact that members of the community can participate in a completely anonymous way – sending submissions by e–mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or S.U. box 3180 – will hopefully increase responses, the organizers say, and allow people to write things they feel are relevant but do not want to have their name attached to.
Smith devised the project over the summer after Andre McKenzie '01, vice president of Gargoyle, brought up the issue of how to address race in terms of their group. Smith developed the idea, expanding it to include the Williams community.
Geiger said that if the project is successful, similar projects might be initiated in future years, addressing controversial issues such as religion, class, sexual orientation and gender. The organizers hope that the project will pave the way for future attempts to address social issues on a campus-wide basis.

Facing urbanization financing difficulty, unsustainable 'Land Finance' and massive government debt resulting from the local investment and financing, Public-Private Partnership (Hereinafter referred to as PPP) has been one of the most important alternative program of China future public goods. The application and promotion of PPP mode is regarded as 'the important mean of supporting the new urbanization construction', 'the important measure of improving government public services', 'the inner requirement of establishing modern financial system'. However, PPP mode is now facing series problems from legal system, financing channels, supervision and capability etc. At the meantime, systematically summarizing the experience and lessons learned from the PPP mode in the existing investment and construction of infrastructure, realizing resources sharing and promoting PPP mode application in China is looming.
Under these circumstances, establishing a PPP research platform, connecting the PPP practice experience and theoretical results, promoting and fostering the development of PPP mode in China are the important objectives of PPP Lab. Lab experts committee members include professor Junsheng Li, the vice-precedent of Central University of Finance and Economics, professor Haitao Ma, the dean of School of Finance, professor Fuguo Cao from School of Law, professor Peiyong Gao, the dean of Research Institute of Financial and Economic Strategy from Academy of Social Sciences, Kang Jia, the director of Finance Division of Ministry of Finance and other well-known experts.

L4-03 is a lock of the fusing motor. It's likely you need to have the fuser rebuilt. You can try resetting the error by turning off the main power switch (located behind the front door under a little plastic cover) and back on. It's likely the error will come back. There's a cleaning screen on the lower fuser roller which gets gummed up with toner and sticks to the lower fuser roller causing it to seize and the motor not to be able to turn causing the L4-03.
Posted on Oct 06, 2008
That code means you have a drum drive motor failure. The drum is the long, cylindrical green-blue tube you'll see when you open the left-side door.
Chances are some paper jammed up inside the drum process unit (that black frame that holds the drum) and it's keeping the drum from turning. Check the drum/process unit and make sure they are clear of any material that could cause a jam.

The effect of temperature on the loss of red dye from beetroot cells.
Extracts from this document...
The effect of temperature on the loss of red dye from beetroot cells Results table Beetroot Average % Temperature 'C A B C D Transmission 0 98 98 95 99 97.50 10 100 98 99 99 99 20 100 96 97 98 97.75 30 92 96 98 95 95.25 40 92 94 95 95 94 50 80 78 87 55 75 60 16 16 18 15 16.25 70 12 12 18 3 11.25 Interpretation of results: The cell membrane functions as a semi-permeable barrier, its function is to isolate the inside of the cell from its environment, allowing a very few molecules through it while keeping the majority of chemicals inside the cell. All cells have membranes, the beetroot membrane is made up of phospholipids, these phospholipids are arranged on the membrane along with the intrinsic and extrinsic proteins. Each phospholipid consists of a hydrophobic tail of 2 fatty acids and hydrophilic phosphate head. ...read more.
intensity of a red solution is proportional to the amount of red pigment diffused out which, in turn, is proportional to the number of cells damaged of the cell membrane. Trends and patterns: As temperature increased transmission decreased, this showed evidence that more dye is lost from the cells at high temperature this was due to the damage high temperature have on the plasma membrane as the proteins are denatured and there fore allows dye out of the cells, the higher the temperature the higher amount of denatured enzymes. At 0'c there was high transmission meaning little if any dye was lost, this is because the plasma membrane is not affected as the proteins are still intact and are concealing the dye, there is little energy within the water molecules to damage the membrane. There is little damaged done to the membrane up to 40'C, after 40'C the proteins became denatured and dye was lost, this is due to the loss of the tertiary shaped protein as hydrogen bonds were broken after 4o'C. ...read more.
Column D had a very little transmission at 70'c at just 3% unlike the others which were between 12 and 18 %, this brought the average transmission for 70'c down, this could of been that it was left in the high temperature for longer and so more proteins were denatured and more dye had been lost causing a low transmission. The main limitation was the lack of repetitions as more repetitions would of given a more accurate transmission recording for each temperature, and there fore would have been more reliable. To improve this experiment I would of increased repetitions for each temperature and had a wider range of temperature to experiment with. These results are representative as I expected them knowing that up to 40'c there was little dye lost, after 40'c an increase in dye was lost, this was due to the proteins becoming denatured above 40'c as hydrogen bonds are broken in the tertiary shape of the protein and so dye was able to leak out.

a school trip to forsythe farm
seba's dream fulfilled: a ride in a big, yellow school bus
mommy's nightmare actualized: it was damn cold
note to self: never volunteer for outdoor trips again... unless it's over 15C outside
this is missing a sentence
this way to farm n fun... but only if there's a big bright sun
of course i had no change
oh guys.. it smelled so damn yummy in this market
fresh pies, fresh pies, fresh pies
i was practically eating the air
when i see someone taking a photo i move out of the way
...apparently not everyone follows this rule
it's kinda like people that drive slow in the left lane
they just don't get it
the hayride
it was cold and this was the only photo i snapped before seba decided he didn't care for the hayride thing and the only way to express this was by screaming and squirming away from me as i tried to defuse the madness while other parents asked: is he ok? is he ok?
uhhh... does he look ok?
{world's worst question to ask when one's child is freaking out in public}
pumpkin party at aunty vicky and uncle phil's
vicky always knows how to bring out the motivated me that seems to hibernate 99.9% of my waking life
everyone else was clearly overjoyed and excited to start carving...
but i just sulked unable to tap into my creative dormant self
can you guess which pumpkin is mine?

David Blunkett wants secondary pupils to study the subject from 2002 despite headteachers' concerns that schools are already overloaded.
Ministers also want primary children to be taught (non-compulsory) lessons on such things as how to vote and freedom of speech.
The Education Secretrary is said to be unhappy with a report from the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority which calls for citizenship to be only an equal part of a mix including health, morals and environmental education.
One of the group which prepared the report said: "The QCA have not so much had their work flung back in their face, they have had it taken away from them."
Professor Bernard Crick, Mr Blunkett's former university tutor, is likely to be pleased with the proposals, which echo many of his recommendations.

Saturday Night we flew from Memphis to Orlando via Chicago and stayed in a nice Marriot near the Airport. Monday morning we rented a Toyota Camry at the Airport and began our drive south. We cut across to the ocean and drove all the way down route A1A which we loved.
We had a lovely walk in the Pelican Wildlife Refuge
Overall it was a great day!

I am considering the purchase of a Preston Cinema Systems 3 channel FIZ. I am a 1st A.C. working primarily on episodic television and smaller budget feature films. I was wondering what I could expect to earn by renting such a unit to production? What are some of the benefits and pitfalls I can expect? Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It was a very hot and humid day there, so I don't blame them for laying around!!! These 3 lions are siblings and were born last year. Very gorgeous animals!

Familia Zuccardi Malbec Santa Julia Reserva
Wine Details
Wine Description
Ruby red color with purple hues of good intensity. Complex aromas of ripe fruits like cherries, black cherries, plums, vanilla, leather, tobacco and spices including black pepper and paprika. The wine is full-bodied with sweet tannins, a good balance and complexity. Long lingering finish.
Expert Reviews
DecanterRating: 3/5 - As reviewed by Decanter. Zuccardi seems to be getting more fruit concentration into his reserva, perhaps with a bit of extra vine age. Certainly this well-crafted example with its spicy oak and fresh acidity suggests that's so.

Banking on a vibrant economy, states once reluctant to change their welfare systems are devising ambitious ways to push aid recipients into the jobs at the heart of the new welfare law.
Even states with strong liberal traditions, like West Virginia, Hawaii and Minnesota, and states that have long lagged in grappling with welfare policy, like Texas and South Carolina, are charging ahead out of concern that if they do not act now to shift people into the work force, it will be much more difficult later, when the economy turns sluggish.
The plans being drawn include offering employers wage subsidies and relocating recipients to areas where they can find jobs.
But critics say that many states, in their haste, are forcing people into dead-end jobs. They also say that drops in the welfare rolls resulting from a good economy will be precarious and that a downturn will make it even more difficult to find work for people now on welfare, who are often unskilled, uneducated and inexperienced.
And the critics still contend that the law is flawed in that it requires states to create new programs to encourage jobs without providing money for training or placement.Continue reading the main story
Many state officials continue to complain about the law's toughest provisions, including cutting off the Federal welfare benefits of people who have not found a job within two years, and of most recipients after a total of five years on welfare. And it is not clear how many of the new programs being devised will be certified by the Federal Government, a necessary step to get financing, or whether they will even work.
But interviews with dozens of state welfare officials at a conference here this week -- one of the first large gatherings of officials since the new law passed in July -- show that beyond Wisconsin, Michigan and Massachusetts, which have attracted wide attention for their efforts on welfare policy, many other states are now embarking on previously untried programs.
And, the interviews show, state officials have accepted the new approach to welfare: that the goal is to put people in jobs, any jobs, with less emphasis on whether they hold a future. Under this model, job training is secondary to job placement because the assumption is that working in itself helps people gain confidence, skills and good work habits.
Kentucky and West Virginia have begun offering relocation allowances to move the poor from Appalachia's pits of entrenched unemployment to jobs in cities. South Carolina forces people to move to where the jobs are. In Texas, Indiana and Mississippi, welfare officials scrutinize applicants to see if, with a little temporary help, they can be steered into jobs and never join the welfare rolls.
Welfare officials say they are tailoring their efforts to each individual's needs, a striking change from the old system, which, for example, gave every mother with two children the same benefits. ''Now they are asking, 'What is it you need so you can get into the work force and stay there?' '' said Elaine Ryan, director for government affairs at the American Public Welfare Association, which led the conference here. ''This has got to move states farther along.''
The welfare law took effect on Oct. 1. Most major provisions do not take effect until next July 1, which is also the deadline for states to submit plans explaining how they will comply with the law. But at least 38 states have already submitted plans to the Department of Health and Human Services and 18 have been certified by the Federal Government, which means they are eligible for block grants of Federal money.
Because of the way the welfare bill is financed, most states whose plans have been certified will get a windfall on their 1997 grant. Indeed, for the next six years, the grants will be based on years when jobs were scarce and welfare caseloads were high, not on how many aid recipients a state has on its rolls. So the grants remain the same, even if rolls fall because of a booming economy.
For big states, that can amount to hundreds of millons of dollars more than they would have received under the old system. That money can be used to meet the added costs of putting people to work.
Anticipating this windfall, even the poorest state, Mississippi -- whose plan has been certified -- has cobbled together a jobs plan that offers incentives for both welfare recipients and employers. ''We're providing child care benefits, up to $8 a day for transportation, extended Medicaid coverage'' for recipients who find work, said Donald Taylor, executive director of the state's Department of Human Services.
To induce employers to hire the recipients, Mississippi gives them the recipient's cash assistance, which the employers pay back to the new worker, along with some wages. ''The employer agrees to pay $1 an hour into an individual development account,'' Mr. Taylor said.
So in addition to their wages, the workers build up savings accounts that the employers turn over to them when they reach $1,000. ''It is our fervent hope,'' he said, ''that the worker will use the money to buy a better car to get to work.''
Mr. Taylor said 2,000 former welfare recipients were now working in such arrangements in six of the state's 82 counties. ''We'll go to the rest of the counties by July 1 of next year,'' he said.
In Missouri, welfare officials began experimenting with a different approach three years ago to encourage hiring in Kansas City.
Employers who hired a welfare recipient received a state check, typically $3.30 an hour, representing the client's cash assistance and food stamps. ''We're placing people there at $7.50 an hour,'' all of which the worker keeps, said Gary J. Stangler, director of the state's Department of Social Services.
As it expands the program to St. Louis and other communities, Missouri is redefining it.
Missouri now provides case management services -- like finding a baby sitter or a ride to work for a worker who needs one -- for half the 400 recipients employed through the program.
For all that, Mr. Stangler said the experiment had also revealed an ominous note for people who expect the welfare law to put most clients to work. In addition to the 400 who are working, Mr. Stangler said, 400 others have quit their jobs or have been dismissed.
In Maine, officials are trying yet another approach, which involves shedding some long-entrenched compunctions about intruding upon recipients' privacy
''One of the things we're trying in Maine is home visits for first-time applicants,'' said Kevin W. Concannon, Commissioner of the state's Department of Human Services. The point is not to detect violations of welfare regulations, Mr. Concannon said, but to ascertain the particular needs of the recipient. ''You can learn more looking around somebody's kitchen for 60 seconds than you can during 60 minutes interviewing someone in an antiseptic office.''
If the worker sees last night's dishes stacked up,'' he said, ''it's one thing. If she sees two weeks of dishes, it's a sign they need special help before they go looking for a job.''
Utah negotiates a self-sufficiency plan with each of its recipients, laying out steps to help the recipient get job training, helping with the job hunt and giving counseling on work habits.
''If they do not follow up,'' said Robin Arnold-Williams, director of Utah's Department of Human Services, ''we can reduce the grant $100 and, after two months, close the case.''
In South Carolina, said James T. Clark, director of the South Carolina Department of Social Services, new welfare applicants cannot get cash assistance until they prove that they have applied for at least 10 jobs.
Then, if they refuse or quit jobs, they and their children lose the whole check. ''Fairly immediately,'' Mr. Clark said. But, he added, the check will resume after 30 days of cooperation with the welfare office.
''It isn't that we're trying to be mean,'' Mr. Clark said. ''We want to set some standards for people who are poor that the rest of society lives by. I don't want to make an exception for them.''
In many states, having a baby no longer assures much of a reprieve from work. ''We used to exempt women with children under 3 years,'' said Michael Becker, administrator of the St. Petersburg-Clearwater district for the Florida Department of Children and Families. ''Now we exempt them with children under 3 months.''
Many welfare officials said they were worried that the law does not provide enough child care support. Officials are concerned about migrant workers in Texas and California, and seasonal workers in Vermont and Colorado ski resorts who are losing the food stamps that help keep them afloat in off-seasons.
Some big states, like New York, California, New Jersey, Texas, Florida and Washington, are lobbying the Government to restore the food stamps and disability aid that the law denies legal immigrants. But rather than let their differences stall enforcement of the law, some states are taking on such burdens themselves. ''We're going to continue to cover legal immigrants,'' said Susan M. Chandler, director of Hawaii's Department of Human Services.
She said that Gov. Benjamin Cayatano, a Democrat, was the son of legal immigrants. ''And he believes it's the right thing to do.''Continue reading the main story

Continental Bits offer the poll pressure and leverage of a Curb Bit, but do not restrict the jaw with a curb chain, making them less severe. Similar to a conventional gag, Continental Bits work by raising the bit in the horse's mouth. However this action is limited thus reducing the severity. They are useful for activities such as cross country as the poll pressure encourages the horse to lift its head after jumping.

Paradise FallsBook - 2012
Against her wishes, Detective Rayna Godwin must pair with her ex-lover, FBI agent Neal Cody, to investigate the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl, whose mother thinks that her stepson is responsible. By the author of The Next Victim.

This was my introduction to the work of Jonnie Jacobs and I found Paradise Falls a riveting suspense novel difficult to put down. A second teenage girl in five months goes missing in a small town usually noted for its low crime rate. The investigation seems to stall with no leads, no bodies, scanty evidence when suddenly everything seems to break and suggests a surprising criminal. The lead investigator finds herself more personally involved with the crimes and the families of the victims than she would like.
The plotting is complicated as are all the characters, their circumstances and relationships. Jacobs wraps up the case with an ending also complicated as well as surprising, but thoroughly satisfying.

Ravens WR Torrey Smith (thigh) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Smith looked great against the Chargers but isn't a good option against the Steelers, who held him to one catch for seven yards in Week 11. The good news is that he has scored six of his seven TDs at home and this week's rematch is in Baltimore.

Question about 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Posted by Anonymous on
Most parts stores offer at least three different grades of brake pad. The difference between them is generally related to their ability to dissipate heat and resist wear-out. For general routine driving, usually the middle grade is a good bet. If you are low on cash, you can buy the cheaper version but expect to change them much sooner. All pads must meet DOT specifications for minimum performance so all will work. Part # is determined by manufacturer and the parts store has a reference to match their products to your car.
For off-road use, you may want to opt for something different and more expensive like a ceramic composite pad but they are expensive and aren't really necessary for around town or "normal driving". If you can, always replace rotors with pads as the modern rotors are in no way as durable as those on older cars. Cutting them (re-surfacing) most times results in loss of performance unless it's an extremely light cut and only on the first service. Always change at least part of your brake fluid (either by bleeding or removing fluid from the master reservoir with a siphon or turkey baster) and make sure that all slides on the calipers are free and there is no rust inside the caliper piston boots.I likely gave you far more info than you need but now you know what you need to!!!
good luck!!

Presidential candidates' John McCain and Barak Obama have both agreed to speak at a forum sponsored by Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, a megachurch in southern California. The forum is intended to discuss faith, leadership convictions, values and character. Pressing issues mentioned include poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate and human rights.
It will be interesting to see how aggressive he is with the candidates and how he delves into their character and leadership convictions. Because these areas can be so general, I think it will be difficult to gleam a lot of insights from the candidates. Frankly, character and leadership are better ascertained by actions than words.
Regarding the issues mentioned, these are certainly important issues which need to be addressed. How one addresses them is critical. Everybody wants to address poverty but what is the most effective way to do so. By simply expanding government and raising taxes or engaging private groups, providing incentives through tax policies and not rewarding destructive behavior. Or HIV/AIDS. One approach says condoms is the answer, however, that's a shortsighted, disastrous approach because it fails to address the underlying destructive behaviors which treat sex or drug use as recreational activities. And then regarding climate, understanding what is the problem and deciding how it can best be addressed, re global warming, is important. One approach says shut down economic development through strict regulations and the other is encouraging conservation through market incentives. Or human rights. Do we let economics trump the dignity and protection of the individual or do we hold other countries accountable for how they treat people.
I think it's also important that Warren call on the candidates to discuss their views of government and taxes along with marriage and the life issues. These issues weren't mentioned in the above article.

I agree. I would love to hear both candidates talk about the sanctity of marriage and how they feel about divorce, adultery and re-"marriage" (I use quotes since remarriage gay marriage are both sins not supported by the Bible).

My bedside lamp has some sort of electrical ghost that turns it back on at random in the middle of the night, unless I unplug it. Kind of a bummer when you are 9 months pregnant and have to either get down on hands and knees to plug in or out, or put up with possible extra mid-night wakenings.
I have had a lamp in my basement that my sister gave me instead of putting it in the trash, and I've made various plans for it . . . the kid's bedroom, our bedroom, etc., but had yet to do anything with it. Then today I was thinking that I was feeling crafty, and as my friend Joanna reminded me . . . "I would rather work on what I want to, instead of what NEEDS to be done."
There has been a lot of doing what needs to be done around here lately, and not much "what I want to." So, today I refurbished a lamp. Granted, it is a bit makeshift, as I only had one spray paint color option on hand (guess that is not really an "option," then), and only two colors of ribbon. But it was fun, won't turn on at random, and looks better than I expected!
Time for some math to figure out what to cut for fabric . . . and it worked out! Whew!
Here's my one color of spray paint! Won't be short on drama . . .
I was going to use spray adhesive . . . glad I used a piece of test fabric first, because it leaked thru a brown color! Time to go back to the hot glue gun, which worked great.
Ribbon to cover where the fabric meets up. My only other ribbon was brown and pink!
And after! Note to self, tape the cord a bit further out next time I spray paint . . .
Get your craft on, people!!! And make it something you WANT to do!

Early moves
Mild pull-back in European equities
US markets closed for Independence Day
European stock indices were weaker first thing this morning. Investors seem unwilling to push equities much higher following yesterday's sharp gains, particularly as US markets are closed for Independence Day. On top of this, there's been a modest pull-back in crude and this has been the trigger for some mild profit-taking in the energy sector following last week's rally. Miners were also under pressure, thanks to a sharp sell-off in base metals such as copper, lead, nickel and zinc. On top of this, some of the heat has come off the banking sector. Banks have performed particularly well since the middle of last week following positive results from the Federal Reserve's stress tests.
Stock Index Update
US sector rotation continues
Dow hits fresh all-time high
Yesterday saw another bout of stock rotation in the US. Once again investors reduced their exposure to those stocks which led the market rally over the first half of the year, namely Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Netflix and Microsoft. This led to a broader bout of profit-taking in tech stocks which led to a lower close for the NASDAQ. On the flip side, there were solid gains for the Dow and S&P500 as investors shifted back into the energy and banking sectors. The Dow gained just under 130 points to close out at a fresh record high.
European stock indices stormed higher in early trade yesterday. Soon after the open the French CAC, Italian MIB and Spanish IBEX had all posted gains of over 1%. The UK's FTSE100 and German DAX also made solid, if less impressive, gains. Stocks in the energy and banking sectors were amongst the biggest gainers. Energy stocks were back in favour helped along by the recovery in oil prices. Meanwhile, the banking sector remains in favour following the positive outcome from last week's Federal Reserve stress tests.
Investors currently appear unfazed by the torrent of hawkish comments from central bankers last week. European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi and Bank of England Governor Mark Carney both suggested that tighter monetary policy could be on the way. This surprised many investors as Mario Draghi gave a very dovish press conference at the beginning of this month while just over a week ago Governor Carney said conditions weren't right for a rate hike.
Commodities Update
Oil posts eighth consecutive positive session
Precious metals continue to slide
Crude oil rallied again yesterday. This was the eighth consecutive positive session for Brent and WTI. Before this current rally, both contracts looked oversold after they lost around 18-20% in the month following the last OPEC meeting just over a month ago. Back in November OPEC and non-OPEC producers agreed to a 1.8 million barrel per day (bpd) cut to run between January and June this year. At the May meeting all parties agreed to extend the timeline by nine months to March 2018, but were unable to get approval for deeper output cuts. The resulting sell-off saw WTI hit its lowest level since last August. However, both WTI and Brent have subsequently bounced back, helped along by an uptick in US crude inventories last week. In addition, last week it was reported that US crude production registered its biggest decline since Aug 2016, dropping by 100,000 bpd to 9.25 million bpd. Also, the US oil rig count dropped 2 to 756, the first drop in almost 6 months.
Gold and silver fell sharply yesterday as investor risk appetite continued to soar. The first trading session of the second half of the year saw equities fly higher, a continued recovery in crude oil and a pick-up in the US dollar. These moves persuaded investors to shun safe havens and dump the two precious metals. Gold fell over 1% on the day, cracking through support, and now looks on course to retest $1,220 and threaten the lows hit back in early May. Silver's sell-off was even more precipitous as the metal fell over 40 cents on the day for its biggest downside move in two months. Silver is now on course to retest its lows from early May around the $16 level.
Forex Update
Dollar continues to recover
Cable retests resistance around 1.3000
The dollar rallied again yesterday continuing a recovery that began at the end of last week. The greenback fell sharply in the first half of last week in a move which saw the Dollar Index hit its lowest level since beginning of Oct 2016. At the same time the EURUSD broke above 1.1400 to make a 14 month high. Sterling also shot higher, at least against the dollar, as it retested resistance just above the 1.3000 level. The sell-off in the dollar, and the corresponding rallies in the euro and sterling, followed a clutch of comments from central bankers. In particular, Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank (ECB) and Mark Carney, Governor of Bank of England (BoE), were surprisingly hawkish. It was only a matter of a few weeks ago that both were talking down the prospect for tightening monetary policy.
The market consensus now seems to be that the Fed will pause in its tightening while the ECB and Bank of England take over the baton. Personally, I believe this is the wrong assessment and I expect the Fed to tighten further this year as they push towards normalising rates. At the same time, Draghi and Carney will continue to fight the hawks amongst their own rate setters. Sterling was firmer first thing. But it pulled back sharply from its best levels soon after the European open. The selling gathered pace following the release of the latest Manufacturing PMI update. This came in at 54.3, well below the prior reading of 56.3.
Earlier in the day the Japanese yen came under pressure. On Sunday, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party took a hammering in the Tokyo assembly election. This saw the USDJPY dip briefly below 112.00 on fears that the very fate of Abenomics was in question, as past Tokyo elections have been bellwethers for national trends. However, investors subsequently rushed to sell (borrow) the low-yielding Japanese currency and used the proceeds to buy up higher yielding equities. The USDJPY went on to trade above 113.00 for the first time since mid-May.
Upcoming events
Today's significant events and economic data releases include Spanish Unemployment, UK Construction PMI, Euro zone PPI and the Canadian Manufacturing PMI. US banks will be closed in observance of Independence Day.

And yet we are not like anyone else. Yes, we all have our trials and struggles, that is what this life is all about. But I also fight everyday against my own body and mind.

I hope and pray that we can find the charity we need to love each other, pray for each other and help each other.

9 Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life -

The Role of Caregiver Contingent Responsiveness in Promoting Compliance in Young Children
Schueler, Christie M.; Prinz, Ronald J.
Child Psychiatry and Human Development, v44 n3 p370-381 Jun 2013
The purpose of this study was to examine relations between parents' contingent responding and the behavior of their young children, in the context of other relevant parenting behaviors. Parents were observed interacting with their 3-6 year-old children during two laboratory tasks. Parent responses to child bids were classified into four mutually exclusive categories: contingent responses, non-contingent non-negative responses, negative responses, and no response. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to examine relations between contingent responsiveness and child compliance, after accounting for the quality of parent directives and parent negativity. Contingent responsiveness was uniquely associated with greater child compliance for mothers during both tasks and for fathers during one task. An interaction effect was found, indicating that fathers' responsiveness during the second task was associated with greater child compliance in older, but not younger, children. Implications for clinical practice and future research directions are discussed.

But with the right tools and preparation, internships can deliver a strategic business advantage. The key is advance planning -- a small investment of time to ensure that proper resources are allocated and that job requirements and goals are clear.
Newtown, PA (PRWEB) March 21, 2007
The time is now. Today The Internship Institute declares that it's 'open season' for businesses and non-profit organizations to recruit interns and plan ahead to make summer internship programs successful.
This purpose of this advisory is to ensure that 'host organizations' heed the easily-overlooked academic calendar and window of opportunity to reap the benefits of recruiting college students and other workforce talent and creating a successful internship program.
"What too few employers and organizations realize is that internships represent a tremendous untapped opportunity to create a strategic business advantage," explains Matthew Zinman, executive director and founder of The Internship Institute. "Companies and non-profits can infuse their bottom-line with valuable talent while addressing labor shortages, skills gaps, 'brain drain,' productivity deficiencies, and fulfill corporate social responsibility goals while yielding significant gains for the bottom-line."
The Internship Institute is the non-profit affiliate of the Z University (ZU) brand, which markets a turnkey internship system. This includes an instructional video on program management called, "The Blueprint for Internship Success" (DVD), and a comprehensive set of useful materials with Intern Toolkit™ which together provide every advantage for employer 'host organizations' to make their internship program the very best it can be.
According to The Internship Institute, those wishing to take immediate action to establish an internship program or improve an existing one should follow three key steps.
Recommended steps include:
1) Define internal needs and wants – Companies should develop a job description based on defined needs such as projects involving research, writing, planning and online/telephone outreach.
2) Ask those in the know – Contact the career services departments of area higher education institutions well ahead of summer to establish relationships and how to best recruit the right candidates based on defined needs.
3) Prepare Internally – Internship programs don't run themselves, but advance preparation is key. Resources such as Z University's Intern Toolkit will make intern programs as easy as possible to implement and improve.
Zinman notes that: "Any organization that hires college graduates or could benefit from an extra hand or second pair of eyes can turn an internship program to their advantage. All it takes is a little planning and creativity, and the interns can do the rest."
Organizations that are mulling summer internship plans in 2007 can take the Internship Institute's free Value-Feasibility Assessment, located at http://www.zuniversity.org/itk_is.asp. This assessment will qualify how valuable an internship program may be to the prospective organization as well as provide a sense of how feasible it is to manage the program effectively. Another free resource is an employer education series, located at http://www.zuniversity.org/education_series.asp, which features the value of having interns, a telling study capsule on intern productivity, and sample ideas about 'real work' interns can do.
Interns are highly capable, highly motivated and – if well managed – highly valuable," notes Zinman. The five core skills that bring value to just about any business involve: research, writing, planning, telephone and computer work." Examples among the hundreds of meaningful intern projects: having interns conduct surveys, perform competitive intelligence research, uncover and pursue marketing opportunities, develop and manage website content, write and edit articles for publication, plan events and prepare presentations.
For those considering whether to launch a new program or resume an existing program, ZU's Intern Toolkit™ is a resource designed to ensure successful results for both the organization and its interns. It enables employers and non-profit organizations to run an internship program in a way that increases productivity and raises the quality of the student internship experience. Available for purchase at http://www.InternToolkit.com, the Intern Toolkit is the most complete resource to convert student talent and skills into employer profit.
Internship programs provide a "win-win" solution for companies by addressing social concerns and boosting corporate competitiveness. Making internships available to candidates in the public workforce can also demonstrate a corporate commitment to underserved and underprivileged populations, while creating another talent pool of productive workers.
"A common misconception is that organizations and individuals don't have the time to run an internship program," Zinman adds. "But with the right tools and preparation, internships can deliver a strategic business advantage. The key is advance planning -- a small investment of time to ensure that proper resources are allocated and that job requirements and goals are clear."

It champions experiential education as an essential ingredient for college students to become workforce-ready. Initiatives to advocate, educate and collaborate continue to effect positive change for employers, students, non-profit entities, and academic professionals alike.

This blog documents the 7.30 AM to 3.30 PM day trips by a group from Mantri Classic (Koramangla , Bangalore) . We have been doing for the last 1 year – discovering amazing places in and around Bangalore. Energised ancient temples, architectural marvels – 1000's of years old, lovely ashrams, treks, nature resorts all packed with simple and tasty food makes for a great day trip. Its a Fusion trip and thats the name of the group. The trips are very cost effective and average Rs 500 – 1000 / head inclusive of breakfast, lunch and travel. We travel on a Wednesday most of the time – mid week when the places are empty , and because we lave by 7.30 /7.45 and are back by 3.30 we beat the crazy Bangalore traffic.
We started this about a year back – its been fun , in the last 12 trips we have discovered amazing places. This blog shares the itinerary of trip 8
- Trips 1,2,& 3 : https://vak1969.com/2017/09/13/day-trips-in-bangalore-7-30-to-3-30-trips-1-3/

- Trip – 12 : https://vak1969.com/2017/10/04/day-trips-in-bangalore-7-30am-3-30pm-trip-12/
Trip – 8 : Veena Stores – Malleshwaram temples – Kote Venkatramana Temple – Mahabodhi Society – Little Italy (7.30 AM – 3.30 PM)
As usual we started at 7.30 AM and headed to Malleswaram via MG Road and Windsor Manor and reached our breakfast point by 8.10 AM. Malleswaram is old age Bangalore – narrow well maintained roads , smells of jasmine flowers , dotted with temples – its a good mix of TN & Karnataka – full of great economical eateries – of which Veena Stores is amongst the best. Located at 15th Cross , Margosa Road Its a small 100 sft store which serves piping hot delicious food – take away only. Weekends can be a mad rush with waiting time of over an hr as Mercs and BMW's line up for pick up – but on Wednesday we were served in minutes. Kesari Bath, Idli Vada, Sweet Pongal, Kharabath, Filter Coffee and a few more authentic tasty dishes all of which cost 30 – 40 Rs a plate.
A few minutes drive from here is 15th Cross Rd which is home to 4 majestic temples – adjacent to each other. The Kaadu Malleshwara Temple, Sri Dakshinamukha Nandi Tirtha Kalyani Kshetra, Gangamma Temple and a beautiful Vishnu temple. The Kaadu Malleshwaram Temple dates back to 1600 AD – and was built during the period when the Marathas held sway over Bangalore and is said to have been built by Venkoji Shivaji's step brother who found a "Swayambu" there during one of his Tax Collection drives. its a well maintained beautiful green temple on a small hillock with lots of open spaces. There are 40 steps that lead to the temple top.
Diagonally opposite to this is a unique temple worthy of the UNESCO world heritage tag – The "Dakshinamukha Nandi Tirtha Kalyani Kshetra". Some say this temple is 1000's of years old and was unearthed recently. Water from the Nandi gushes on to the Shiva Lingam and then flows to a pond which some say is the underground source of the Sankey Tank. Of the 4 temples on this road – these two are outstanding and we spent most of our time here. But do visit the Gangamma and the Vishnu temple also. In all you can budget 90 – 120 minutes to cover these 4 temples. Right next to these temples is a Brahmins Coffee Bar – so if you want to grab a coffee before you head out – you can do that
Our next stop was another historical temple – Kote Venkatramana Temple. The 17th century Venkataramana temple is located near the old fort ("fort" is kote in Kannada language) adjacent to what was once the residence of Mysore Wodeyar royal family, and later became the palace of Tipu Sultan. Temple closes by 12 noon – and we made it comfortably by 11.15 AM . Its a 20 min drive from Malleswaram. The green lawns of the fort adjacent to this temple looked inviting but we decided to keep the forts and palaces visit to another day. You need a drive – as parking is an issue at all these places.
Keeping the Fusion spirit in mind our next stop was the Mahabodhi Society of Bangalore located next to Freedom Park. A 10 min drive from the Kote Venkatramana Temple.
A zone of peace and equanimity – the centre has a large meditation hall , a beautiful Pipal tree, a stupa and a small garden . They also have a lovely store. This is a residential centre for Monks in Training so keep the chatter low. If you are a meditative person you will love this place and can spend a few hrs here – but we had to move on keeping in mind our 3 PM return deadline.
It was 1 in the afternoon when we left the Mahabodhi Society at Gandhinagar and we drove past the tempting stores of Chickpet and Avenue Road heading back to Koramangla – on the way stopping for a roaring lunch at Little Italy ( Tavarkere Road near St John Woods apartment). One of the members of the group is a partner owner here and she magnified an already delicious buffet spread. The lunch buffet here is also a well kept secret – the variety of food is impressive , very tasty all of which is backed by excellent service. And to top it all its reasonably priced.
Home was a short 10 min ride from here and were back by 3 PM – we had seen some amazing places in the heart of Bangalore. This is an easy trip to replicate – packed with good food , history , architecture , mythology, spirituality and tranquility – the perfect elements for a Fusion trip.

Finally! I like many other parents have been on the hunt for this Spark Kitchen Sink. It's only sold at Walmart, in HIGH DEMAND and super hard to find.
The secret to my success was checking EVERY DAY (no joke!) at Wally World Clearance. SKU is 712227686. Finally my area was showing stock and just for laughs I headed over to Walmart.com and was able to order for store pick up. My daughter will be so surprised on Christmas morning – if I can hold off on giving it to her until then!
