Turns out film star Kevin Hart actually has a heart. After winning the Sprint Celebrity Game MVP Friday night via the fan vote for the third straight year, the diminutive funnyman did the right thing and bequeathed the hardware to its rightful owner.
"Hold on, everybody," said the 5-2 actor, who, besides over-dribbling, only finished with 7 points and 4 assists. "You know what? I think this shows that I have fans that I love but unfortunately I can't take this one. I have to be a humble loser. Arne Duncan man, I got to respectfully give you the MVP trophy. Arne Duncan, phenomenal player, I'm going down as a loser this year but on the bright side, my movie About Last Night is in theaters this weekend. Go see it. Arne Duncan, congratulations man."
Secretary of Education Duncan, who dropped an impressive 20 points (a new record for the Celebrity Game), 11 rebounds and 6 dimes to seal the 60-56 win for his East team, schooled the entire West squad with his court vision and hustle. Case in point: his nifty behind the neck pass to a cutting Skylar Diggins was SportsCenter-worthy for sure.
In a losing effort, Fruitvale Station star Michael B. Jordan finished with 16 points and 7 boards. The New Jersey native was breakin' ankles and taking it the hole all game, forcing the East head coach Jalen Rose to command his players to hone in on him to stop the bleeding.
All in all, it was the most competitive contest in recent memory. Rap star Romeo Miller played well, retired NBA player Bruce Bowen played well and, let's face it, even Hart kept the game entertaining with his on-court banter and shenanigans. Hart riffed with the refs, went rogue on West head coach Bill Simmons, got into it with mascots, played to the capacity crowd and gave Bowen the business the entire game, getting tangled up with him on the floor and, before a jump ball between Bowen and Jesse Williams, yelled out that Bowen "had the knees of an 80-year old woman."
Other pleasant surprise included Snoop Lion, who hustled and dazzled on the court as a last minute entry. The "Nuthin But A 'G' Thang" MC played stingy defense, crashed the boards and even dropped a pretty J from behind the arc on 'em. Snoop is welcome back anytime.

Evelina London lands £2m LIBOR funding in Autumn Statement
We're thrilled to receive £2 million of LIBOR funding from the proceeds of banking fines, announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Autumn Statement.
This will provide funding towards both a new Fetal Cardiology Unit to diagnose heart problems in babies before they are born and Long Term Ventilation, Sleep and Neuro-rehabilitation facilities to provide care for children with complex, life-limiting conditions.
Redevelopment programme
The funds will go towards an ambitious programme of redevelopment at Evelina London. The £2 million announced means that to date, we've raised just over £7.5 million towards a fundraising target of £10 million to help expand the hospital's clinical facilities, to treat more children and to provide more specialist care.
Marian Ridley, Director of Evelina London, says: "We are delighted to have received this funding from the Treasury. The Long Term Ventilation, Sleep and Neuro-rehabilitation facilities will provide high quality care to families in a 'home from home' setting. Our new Fetal Cardiology Unit will help us provide specialist fetal scans to 2,200 mothers a year with high risk pregnancies."
Our Evelina London Zip event on 2 December will raise another £1m towards the £10m target, to help build a dedicated Clinical Research Facility at Evelina London. This new facility will allow vital research to improve treatments and cures for numerous conditions including autism, epilepsy, congenital heart disease, kidney disease and allergies.

My name is Sarah and I recently became a first-time chicken keeper.
Like most beginners to the hobby, I have scoured the web for information, hints and tips to ensure I was well prepared before bringing my feathered friends home to Aberystwyth. Many websites, forums and blogs share one thing in common – the fact that chicken keeping is addictive, which I completely agree with!
This blog will be a simple account of my experiences, good, bad and egg-ly…with possibly a few unfortunate egg-related puns thrown in for good measure.
My chickens have inspired me to craft and create a range of cards and gifts which can be viewed on my website: http://www.yellowchickenhouse.co.uk

I wish there were more quotes like this to
justify my lack of posting.
Well on to it.
Today I whipped up a few pairs of pants for my littlest monster. He just hit 6 months and has officially moved out of most of the clothes I have for him.
I get tempted to run out and grab him a few essentials & then I come back to my conclusion that the essentials are the EASIEST thing to make for him.
Why NOT just make it?
so i did.
Added a little button to the grey corduroys...
& a tiny tag for his black pants to show mommy made them.
have a great week!

"Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity."
King James Version (KJV)
1:2 Vanity - Not only vain, but vanity in the abstract, which denotes extreme vanity. Saith - Upon deep consideration and long experience, and by Divine inspiration. This verse contains the general proposition, which he intends particularly to demonstrate in the following book. All - All worldly things. Is vanity - Not in themselves for they are God's creatures and therefore good in their kinds, but in reference to that happiness, which men seek and expect to find in them. So they are unquestionably vain, because they are not what they seem to be, and perform not what they promise, but instead of that are the occasions of innumerable cares, and fears, and sorrows, and mischiefs. Nay, they are not only vanity but vanity of vanities, the vainest vanity, vanity in the highest degree. And this is redoubled, because the thing is certain, beyond all possibility of dispute.

Wyoming Chambers Health Benefit Plan
The Wyoming Chambers Health Benefit Plan was founded in 2007. Beginning with two participating chambers (Sheridan County and Campbell County), the plan initially included 28 employers and 184 enrolled employees and their families. Currently, the plan covers 11 chambers in Wyoming, 52 employers, and 355 employees. Since inception, membership grew substantially, retracted due to the economy and the 2011 rate change, and is now growing again. (In Sheridan County, the plan covers 19 employers and 118 employees and their families.)
The Health Benefit Plan offers employees a choice among seven different medical and two dental benefit choices. All of the options are being used, with almost half of the employees having selected medical option 2 – $1,000/year deductible and $1,800/year out-of-pocket limit (including the deductible) per individual.
The plan is self-insured, paying its own claims up to a stop-loss limit beyond which "excess insurance" comes into play. At the end of 2012, the plan had accumulated $1,201,273 in reserves (or an average of $3,384 per covered employee) – the cushion available to cover claim fluctuations as premium revenue and claim payments occur throughout the year.
Summary of the Enrollment Requirements
* The employer must be a current member in good standing of at least one of the participating Chambers of Commerce, for at least 60 days prior to applying.
* The employer must have a minimum of 75% of eligible employees participating, for groups of five or more; 100% participation for groups of four or less. Minimum group size is two employees.
* Completed Employee Enrollment/Waiver Applications are required from each employee in order to qualify. The entire employer group will either be accepted or denied coverage.
* The employer must contribute a minimum of 50% of the premium for employee-only coverage for one of the benefit options, or an equivalent dollar amount if the employee chooses one of the other benefit options (a "defined contribution" approach for the employer).
For more information on plan participation, click here for an overview booklet about the plan (or call the Chamber at (307) 672-2485 to have one mailed to you) or contact our local plan representative, Laurie Ross at (307) 674-6973, for more specifics.

Intercept Pharmaceuticals Inc's drug to treat liver disease caused by fat buildup was found effective in a trial, paving the way for it to become the first approved treatment for the chronic condition. Intercept said it had stopped the trial after the drug showed statistically significant improvement in patients, compared with a placebo, in a review by an independent safety committee. The trial tested the drug, obeticholic acid, in patients with non–alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a form of liver inflammation. Analysts said the news came as a surprise to investors, who had previously focused on the drug as a treatment for primary biliary cirrhosis, an autoimmune disease in which bile ducts in the liver are destroyed. The drug is being tested for the condition in a late–stage study. The drug's structure is similar to that of a naturally occurring human bile acid.

When the Emperor Nero causes the death of his parents, Gaius sees his future dreams and aspirations brutally shattered. Unexpectedly thrown a lifeline by Vespasian, his father's closest friend and a celebrated military leader, an offer of a role in the campaign for Judea, finds him playing a pivotal role in the epic battle for Jerusalem.
Summoned back to Rome by Domitian, the new Emperor and his lifelong friend, Gaius finds his friend a changed man, a man capable of cold-blooded murder, and Gaius is swiftly dispatched to distant Britannia with orders for the island's legendary governor, Agricola.
Forming a mutual respect with Agricola, Gaius embarks on a campaign that will end in triumph and terror, as with the opportunity to expand the Empire within their grasp, Gaius will find himself facing a choice on which the lives of his family and the fate of an Empire will hang.

Set Up Your Workplace For Good Posture
Get a Standing Desk
Research shows that sitting in one place for long stretches of time is harmful for your body's physical wellbeing. If you work at a desk, switching to a standing desk is a great option for you. Standing desks enable you to work on a computer while maintaining a good standing posture. An ergonomic workstation allows you to turn your desk into a standing desk from time to time and is a good alternative to the conventional desk and chair. While working on your desk, make it a point to switch to a standing posture once every hour and your body will thank you.
Take a Break
Taking a break to walk around the office or to simply stretch can help ease the discomfort of sitting for long periods. Your muscles and joints need the movement at regular intervals to prevent stiffness and aches in your body. Physical therapy services in Edmonton recommend taking physical activity breaks to keep your body fit and active. Taking regular physical activity breaks also boosts concentration and can help you perform better at work.
Get off that chair right now and go take a walk!
Sit on a Gym Ball
Switch out your regular chair for a gym ball to improve your workplace posture and to have an ergonomic workstation setup. Sitting on a gym ball instead of slouching in your regular chair can straighten out your spine and ensure a proper workplace posture. A gym ball also requires you to use your gluteal muscles and keeps your lower body in shape. This helps prevent a variety of health-related disorders and keeps your posture erect at work.
Choose the Right Chair
Pick a chair that is the right size in terms of your body height. Adjusting the chair height is essential to achieving an ergonomic workstation setup. Your chair should be at the right height to enable you to reach your keyboard with relative ease and allow you to work without needing to stretch in order to reach your keyboard and other items on your desk.
These are some key tips that can help you achieve an optimum ergonomic workstation setup to improve your workplace posture. In addition to these, your trusted physical therapy services in Edmonton can help you maintain the right posture at work. Get in touch with your physical therapist for more ways to maximize your physical therapy sessions in your everyday life.

Robot Vacuum Simulator 2013 is a groundbreaking simulator taking place in the incredible world of Robot Vacuum cleaners.
The simulator puts you in the shoes of a Robot Vacuum cleaner and sends you on a journey through an appartment cleaning up the dust of man.
- The most realistic robot vacuum simulator ever.
- Incredible single-player simulation
- Duel with your friends in 2 player mode
- A fully open world
- Fantastic music
- A main menu
- The first annual robot vacuum simulation prize
- Game of the year 2013
- Best simulator of 2013
- Best sequel awards
All prizes handed out by Stolidus Simulations.
We are in no way affiliated with any Robotic Vacuum Cleaning manufacturer.
One Reviewer had this to say:
"In 1947 the legendary general Forman swore to combat all who would dare create new fun games with the theme "simulation". While his efforts were largely conceived as honorable and patriotic, there were those who would create their games regardless of Forman's rule. Even though the ban on simulation games would be lifted in 2003 they were still regarded as low-class toys and shameless attempts at controlling the masses. People know to the public as simulation developers were shunned from society and declined their right to vote.
This all changed in 2012 when Stolidus Simulations released a game so superb, so innovative that it's release is commonly seen as the greatest moment in gaming history, in all of history. Robot Vacuum Simulator 2012 captured the imagination of audiences the world over. Its riveting story and enthralling graphics made the game an instant hit, and at the same time threw the simulation games into the mainstream, no longer would simulation developers be banned from voting and eating using cutlery, instead they would now be encouraged to vote, as their opinion meant more than that of the common man.
Many have tried and many have failed at reproducing the feel and social and political impact of Robot Vacuum Cleaner 2012, Microsoft Train Simulator and Farming Simulator have nearly single-handedly cast the simulation industry back into the shadows from whence it came. Was it not for Robot Vacuum Cleaner 2012's focus on replay value the world would not have survived the onslaught of terrible simulation games. Every attempt at recreating a game as tremendous as Robot Vacuum Cleaner 2012 has been futile… until now.
20th of May 2013 will go down in history as the day when Stolidus Simulations released their greatest creation yet: Robot Vacuum Cleaner 2013. Its gameplay is like nothing no-one has ever seen and will revolutionize the gaming-industry, if not the modern world. Stolidus has managed to create a game that will suck players into its massive world that encompasses several rooms, and on top of that tells the most spellbinding and creative story ever told. One may laugh at the idea of creating a game where the player is expected to sympathize with a robot and care for its actions, and struggles in the world, but Stolidus' extravagant game put's those claims to the test and proves once and for all that Stolidus is the greatest gaming-company the world has ever seen.

Fear of rejection.
Three words. Highly emotional, insightful and reflecting a pervading reality in global, national and local marketplaces.
This is a causal factor of sub-optimal performance, which outranks rampant competitor discounting, on-line intrusions and leakage, the omnipotence of substitute products and services and a decided lack of customer and client loyalty.
In business-to-business scenarios too many company representatives are currently identified to be and dismissed as "time wasters". The individuals are typically affable, courteous, ready to discuss the weekend sporting results and their latest achievements on the golf course. They are inevitably up for a good cup of tea or coffee. Sadly, few or none contribute to sales, profitability or productivity of existing and prospective clients.
When finally, like Elvis Presley, they leave the premises it is apparent to all who are left that there was no request for a sale or a contribution submitted to develop business, for mutual benefit.
Well, yes. That is all true. However, the representative who vacated the scene did so with his or her ego intact, not being "damaged" by rejection or failure! Hardly a measure of success.
Little wonder that management is so often advised by that same representative that it is increasingly harder to secure appointments with "difficult" clients who simply don't make themselves available.
Professional representatives are distinguishing themselves by formulating and presenting specific, client benefits during their contacts.
Inter-firm comparisons and analyses of individual performance levels for particular products, services and categories are usually welcomed, beneficial and income-generating.
Few, if any clients or their staff members will be totally familiar with an entire product range of a supplier or distributor. Therefore, appropriate education during visits can and will stimulate enthusiasm, sales and purchases.
In life and in business, it is better to give than it is to receive. It is a sound philosophy for all representatives. The more they give to clients in terms of ideas, insights, suggestions, care, attention and time the more orders they will receive.
At the conclusion of each visit to a client and customer it should be mandatory for each representative to undertake a critical and objective evaluation of just what they offered in the contact.
Manufacturers, distributors and agents have at their disposal invaluable information and data which can be insightful and beneficial to each client. Sharing such in a respectful manner fosters confidence, loyalty, preference and motivation. Today, information and sharing these is all powerful.
Consultative selling is a much prompted philosophy which is, regrettably, poorly implemented.
Consulting is a widely practised art-form. It influences, provides differing perspectives and can be instrumental in enhancing performance standards.
Professional consultants do not sell products or services. Their expertise and experiences are sought, used and happily paid for because their input is valued and valuable.
Hence, the input offered can be and is processed internally, to effect incremental output. As a consequence, products and services are bought, not sold.
Accordingly, appropriate and astutely deployed "consultative selling" opens opportunities rather than closes sales.
An integral component of the philosophy is the need to invest sufficient time in the relationship for there to be ongoing value accorded to the clients and customers. Time is the differentiating element between marketing and selling.
True and good consultants value their own time and that of their clients. Appointments are made, specific time allocated and desired outcomes outlined at the outset of meetings.
That is a refreshing and welcomed philosophy, so different from statements like:
"My name is Kevin, I'm from Queensland, represent the government and I'm here to help."
Sadly, all too often they help themselves to time, revenue and resources. That is not consultative.
The mark of a good consultant and representative is the ability to ask succinct questions and to listen. In fact, the ratio of words spoken by a consultant/representative to those heard should be around 1:5.
Interestingly, the more one listens, the more one learns and therefore, the greater one is able to share and to benefit others. It is a valuable adjunct to specific product knowledge.
Active listening is a skill set that enhances the worth of a representative in the field. Recognition of one's capacity for active listening facilitates the securing of a more, productive appointment.
I'm sold on the idea. I hope you will be too!

A horse running wild on the road was killed this morning after it was struck by a van on the outskirts of Leighton Buzzard.
The horse was one of around 12 spotted flygrazing in an unsecure field off Mile Tree Road for weeks.
An eyewitness said: "The poor mare was hit by a van whilst running loose on the road.
"She has left behind her little filly foal aged only a few months old, who tried to get through the hedge to her and didn't understand where she'd gone.
"The police officer in attendance was absolutely brilliant at trying to get the situation sorted as quickly as possible."
Several horses had escaped from the field yesterday and local volunteers are still monitoring their activities.
Police managed to contain two runaway horses in a field near the narrow gauge railway using police tape, but it is understood they have since escaped.
The volunteers claim to have raised the issues with police and the RSPCA for several weeks without any success.
Regarding this morning's tragic incident, a Beds Police spokesman said: "We were called at approximately 7.10am today to reports of a horse that had been hit by a car.
"Police and a vet attended but sadly the horse had to be put down.
"A number of other horses in the same field as the horse have been seized by police under our stray horse policy and will be rehomed unless the owners come forward."
An RSPCA spokesman added: "We were contacted about three abandoned horses in Vandyke Road, Leighton Buzzard, on Monday. An RSPCA officer attended with the police and checked the horses, which showed no signs of injury or ill health.
"As they were abandoned, they come under the Control of Horses Act 2015, which the RSPCA does not enforce. As part of the act, abandoned horses are the responsibility of the landowner or the local authority. We understand people's frustrations, but the RSPCA must work within the law.
"Horses being left to fly graze has been a huge problem across England and Wales and this specific law was introduced with the aim of deterring people from leaving their horses in this manner.
"Sadly, the RSPCA and other equine welfare charities have been picking up the pieces of the ongoing horse crisis for many years, rescuing sick and injured horses who have been left without appropriate care. Quite often, their owners are almost impossible to trace.
"As a welfare charity, we have to prioritise our time for sick and injured horses and are already well over our capacity for horses - with stables for just 120, we have over 500 in our care, which are stabled through private boarding yards at a great cost to the charity."

Is plastic surgery in your immediate future? There are millions of people who decided to undergo plastic surgery at some point in their lives. You will find great information that may provoke key questions for consulting with your surgeon in advance.
Make sure to ask any doctor you are considering to see a portfolio of past clients to look at. Ask your doctor any questions you have, and look to prior patients for their feedback. This can help you in deciding if that surgeon is the success rate of your doctor.
Find out from your doctor if he plans to start you need to take any antibiotics. You probably have to be taking antibiotics weeks prior to the surgery to reduce your risk or complications and infections. Get another opinion if your surgeon does not plan to prescribe anitbiotics.
Always consider alternative options before choosing cosmetic surgery. You may be able to find a solution to your problem without resorting to surgery. You may be able to resolve problems by visiting a dermatologist, going to a dermatologist or developing a better beauty regimen.
While you don't want to be stingy when getting surgery done, there are legitimate ways to reduce the costs involved. There are some foreign countries that have reputable surgeons for much less than doctors in the United States would. While this is not always an option, it is a feasible cheaper alternative.
Make sure to review the credentials for the doctor and clinic you are working with. Just like you want to know the details of your doctor, you shouldn't accept a clinic or hospital without knowing the details about it. This includes things like past problems at the facility that your doctor experienced in the past.
Talk about the costs with your surgeon to get pricing details. You will also need to decide on a payment method, or you can even set up a payment plan. It is important that you reach a payment agreement regarding your surgery.
You need to realize there will be some pain and the scarring with any cosmetic surgery procedure. A lot of people do not know how painful it will be in during recovery. You can help to improve your healing time post-surgery by mentally prepared for the expected pain.
Before you decide to have cosmetic surgery, try to fix any issue that makes you unhappy. Cosmetic surgery is generally safe, but they are still risky. Many issues you may have, like being overweight, can be changed in different ways.
Don't ever feel pressured into something you don't feel you are ready for. Many cosmetic surgery are fairly simple and can be performed quickly. Keep tight control of yourself and your own decision-making process. Don't allow anyone who is trying to get you to rush to a decision.
Individuals all across the globe are making plastic surgery decisions. If you are one of them, we hope this article was helpful. You should be able to partake in an educated and informed conversation with your surgeon about the procedure that you are considering and feel confident that you made the correct decision when you decided to have the surgery.

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 8, 2009: Dr. Hikmet Akin, President of Aldridge Minerals Inc. ("Aldridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has received a 176-page-report from Corem in Québec City, Québec, Canada, titled "Feasibility-Scale Gravitational Pre-Concentration Testwork on a 2.4-t Bulk Sample from the Yenipazar VMS-Project, Central Turkey". Interim results from this testwork have been published previously, with the best result being:
Total recovery (%) in 60.5 % of the original feed mass:
Further to this, a different route for gravity pre-enrichment has been followed, with total recovery in 64 % of the feed mass:
The second set of results comes from a feed of 3 grain size fractions, whereas the first set has only 2 grain size fractions. It has been documented that the middle size fractions (-212/+53 micron) has the poorest recovery, whereas the coarser (-850/+212 micron) and finer (-53/+10 micron) material have excellent recoveries, all three together yielding the second set of results.
Testwork has further shown that it is possible to recover gravitationally about 1 % of the total contained metal from the –10 micron fraction, in particular gold. The –10 micron fraction is commonly removed to improve performance in both, gravity pre-enrichment and flotation. This additionally recovered material has been added to the second set of results, but not to the first as reported above.
Re-grinding of only the middle size fraction is expected to yield better liberation and overall higher recoveries than any of the results reported here. This will be applied to preparation of a large sample of gravity pre-concentrate for ensuing flotation testwork, targeting the best possible overall recoveries.
Gravity pre-enrichment is the preferred route for the Yenipazar Project to yield better flotation parameters (higher feed grade, elimination of sheet silicates). The mass reduction leads to an ensuing smaller mill/flotation circuit, and to better milling properties. All this should result in lower capital and operational cost.
The Yenipazar project is subject to an earn-in agreement with Anatolia Minerals, wherein Aldridge can earn a 100% working interest, subject to a 6 % net proceeds interest ("NPI", revenues less operational cost) until revenues of US$ 165 million are generated, and 10 % NPI from there on.
Martin S. Oczlon, PhD Geo, a director of Aldridge and Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101, has reviewed and verified the technical content of this press release.
About Aldridge Minerals
Aldridge Minerals Inc. is mainly focused on mineral opportunities in Turkey where the Company is conducting an ambitious exploration and development program at its flagship Yenipazar polymetallic VMS project. Aldridge has also identified several other prospective opportunities in Turkey and Papua New Guinea, and has amassed a large property position where a systematic exploration program is underway.

My A160 has done 67000km and has just blown its ECU unit. This caused the vehicle to run roughly, stall and blow black smoke and deposit exhaust soot on the driveway. I am advised the unit must be replaced at $AUD2500 (July 2005). I have chosen to have the ECU repaired ($AUD1200 with a 2 year warranty).
Previous major problems include
- brake failure, repaired under Warranty.
- Replaced steering column ($AUD1600), just out of Warranty. The car had been serviced a few weeks previously and no problem found. The local petrol station mechanic identified the problem whilst reversing the car. Not impressed with MB quality or servicing.
25th Jul 2005, 23:16
As a follow up to my original post, I later found out the alternator became intermittent in my A160. Sometimes it would charge the battery... sometimes it would not. The car was stranded with a flat battery more than a couple of times.
7th Sep 2005, 08:33
Hi, I have just bought a second hand A140 with 45k. I only had it two weeks when the timing chain snapped. Luckily I had bought it from a reputable dealer who had given me a six month's engine and gearbox warranty. The engine had to be stripped and pistons replaced etc.
This seems to be a serious design flaw. Disappointing for a supposedly quality brand!
7th Nov 2005, 05:35
I bought a A160 and had it for 2 days and the steering felt VERY heavy all of a sudden... I took it off to my mechanic who said it could have been something minor, however, it turned out to be the power steering itself ($2000AUD for a replacement) I have now been told, that apparently this is a very common occurance in these cars.
I am so sorry I have bought this total lemon, now we re just trying to get rid of it... cheaply made!
15th Nov 2005, 00:19
Hi All.
I've bought 2000 A-Class Avantgarde in 2001… very much happy with the car until now. But lately, the car is jerking whenever I slowdown from speeding… and the worst part is after it jerked for a few times… it will automatically shift the gear to 1st…
Anyone of you ever experience this?
16th Nov 2005, 20:52
Our 2000 A160 has done 55,000Km and now needs the Engine Control Unit/Air Sensor replaced at a cost of $1,740 yet this has no moving parts!
I am claiming through the small claims court under NZ consumer Guarantees Act, as it obviously should have lasted longer than this.
20th Dec 2005, 03:30
My 1999 A160 Avantgarde has been having trouble with the auto transmission. It will sometimes display 'F' on the dash and will not go into gear or will 'thunk' out of gear. they have replaced the ignition unit, but are now saying it could be the engine control unit which is about $2000. Has anyone else had a similar problem. It tends to happen after the car has been running for some time. It has only done 36,000 kms.
28th Dec 2005, 02:17
Hi yes I have had the same problem with my A160 gearbox. It comes up with a 'F'. I have no idea what this is. I'm getting it into the service centre soon. The gearbox went into F in the middle of me waiting in the McD's drive through. I had to wait for 1 hour before it went normal again! I am disappointed with A160. I still love it and I think Merc has obviously turned into money hungry company. Where's there promise for quality gone? I paid a price to have a quality small car. I might as well buy a Toyota. I've been to the service people 4 times this year. My rear view mirror Dropped off! and my rims actually cracked and they told me I had hit something. I was on the freeway in traffic! where was this A class made in!?
3rd Jan 2006, 22:17
Re 20 and 28 Dec comment: I have finally got them to find the fault with the transmission - it is the selector unit which is costing $1800 installed! Has anyone had any luck with going to small claims? My car has only done 36,000 kms!
10th Feb 2006, 08:12
I have had my A 190 since 2000. There have been numerous problems like, the seat handles broken off, the fan belt broke, the 'BAS ESP' light came on last year for new brake bads and now this year again. I'm told this is a electrical fault? The power steering has failed and the steering wheel, when turned sounds like the window wiper's are on, but on a dry window screen, so you get that awful squeak as you turn the wheel. In cold weather it gets worse. I am also told due to this electrical fault, I may need a new part in the engine which will be very costly.
Does anyone have this problem?
14th Jul 2006, 16:30
I purchased an 1999 A160 Avantgarde six months ago at 87,000kms. Now at 97,000kms the transmission control module has apparently decided to supply damaging fluid pressures to the trans and stuffed the first gear (just spins). At an estimated repair cost of $7,500 (new control module and trans repairs) I have decided to stick to Toyota, though I am seriously looking at the new Suzuki swift. After paying $11,500 initially and $900 on repairs before this, if I paid for these repairs I could have bought myself a brand new Swift for about the same money! I have pulled the TCM fuse out to drive it in F (second gear, 4500rpm@62km/h). I am thinking about controlling the trans solenoids manually to give me the other good gears (2-5, who needs 1st anyway). Has anyone had any success or tech knowledge on how this can be done? Other than all the faults I think the A class is a good looking fun car to drive. Maybe the new A class doesn't have all these problems.
20th Aug 2006, 14:00
I have an A160, year 2001, with 80000 miles.
I have had numerous problems with mine also, but I am hoping someone can advise me on the current problem, which no garage including Mercedes is able to find the solution to.
When I turn on the ignition and put my car into reverse, it cuts out immediately. If I turn the ignition on with the car in neutral or a gear other than reverse, it will most likely work, but on occasions the ignition will not turn over at all for a period of time with either of the above situations. It eventually corrects itself and the car will start working again after a period of 5 to 10 minutes.
The car has been stripped from a wiring perspective to see if there is a wiring fault. No fault is ever found. One day it works perfectly, and the next day the fault may occur on each drive.
If anyone has experienced this problem, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
12th Jan 2007, 06:45
To the previous poster, indicator stalk, seat height handles, alternator... this sounds just like my car (I'm the original poster).
The alternator is worth replacing as it will go intermittent and leave you stranded when the battery goes flat. I chose to sell my car after all the repairs were done (under extended warranty) and let someone else deal with the quality and reliability hassles.
An expensive Mercedes lesson well learned.

Why Authors Need to Do the Marketing
With the advent of social media, the way products and services are promoted has changed. It's not just the publishers who expect us authors to get out there and make ourselves accessible, the readers expect it also.
A publisher could fake a twitter account—and they have been known to this for some authors—but it doesn't work because it comes across as either fake or as spam. No one likes either.
Authors can't afford to be shy anymore. People want to get to know us and have some connection with us. The happy by-product of this is that the authors also get to connect with their readers. How awesome is that?
As a reader, how has social media helped you connect with your favourite authors? As an author, what part of social media do you enjoy best?
Thank you to Precy Larkins for the Booker Award. Please pop in to her blog and say hi to Precy from me.
I've been meaning to say that the Make Believe anthology is on Goodreads. It would be awesome if you could pop on over and mark it on your to-read list.

I really love using social media as a way to connect with other writers, and with people who read my blog (and hopefully my books when it's published!). I like to show that I'm not just some robot looking for followers. I WANT to interact with others. :DReplyDelete
I like social media, but I detest the constant spamming. Jesus H.ReplyDelete
My choice is generally Twitter. Facebook is going to go the way of MySpace eventually, thus while I still use it, it is mainly to chat or message my author pals and/or interact with readers.
But back to the marketing. Some people do not realize that while spamming may indeed sell some products, they are a total turnoff to most. I delete or unfollow people that fall into the spamming category.Replies
I agree with your opinion on FB. I think it's already starting to go that way. And yes spamming is bad.Delete
I think social media is awesome for connecting authors and readers but it does get exhausting trying to buy/read/review so many books. Where would we be without it now?ReplyDelete
yeah, I know what you mean. I've bought a bunch of books to support fellow authors and I'm struggling to find the time to read them all! Eeek! Slowly but surely, I guess :)Delete
I definitely prefer blogging. Still haven't figured out Twitter although it's helped. But it seems that's where some authors do nothing but send out links about their books.ReplyDelete
I can see why it's important to be online and let readers get to know us. I'd much rather be here than out doing physical appearances. And for me it's grown far beyond promoting my books - it's about supporting others. That is the real joy.Replies
The authors that spam their books don't understand what social media should be--a way to connect rather than a way to sell.Delete
And yes, being able to help others is the true joy
I enjoy meeting new people regardless of the platform but it's usually through Twitter or blogging!ReplyDelete
social media do help, I had cases of writers coming to my site and saying hello because they saw me tweet about their books or movie adaptations of the same....ReplyDeleteReplies
That's got to be awesome.Delete
I'm totally old fashioned. I like my favourite authors inaccessible and mysterious! I like social media for fun! LOL! Take careReplyDelete
I enjoy social media, but it's a real time-sucker. And I'm with Alex--it needs to be about more than just tweeting one's new releases.ReplyDelete
Interesting. I bet the best writers are the shy type, people who pay attention and notice details and communicate best on paper. I wonder how many great writers will get bypassed in this new world?ReplyDelete
You're absolutely right. I'm still trying to break into the social media. As a member of a group of writers at the World Literary Cafe we tweet about one another instead of promoting ourselves. But if you don't make connections that are "organic" and about you, readers will not find you. Reaching out to readers directly is best, without trying to sell them. Again, making the connections...ReplyDelete
About five years ago, I connected to one of my favorite YA authors through her blog on LiveJournal. It was something very new at the time and I remember I advised her on how to handle the onslaught of baby books -- she was pregnant -- and she mentioned me in a later post. That was a very cool experience.ReplyDeleteReplies
Your story made me smile. That's a great connection you made with that author and it was possible because she made herself accessible.Delete
All such valid and true points, Lynda. It's a tricky balance... coming across as real, making real friendships, and promoting... I'm glad I just get to enjoy the easy part right now ;)ReplyDelete
I have actually connected with some of my favourite authors this way. It's been awesome. Great post.ReplyDelete
I don't read social sites for my favorite authors. I do go to their website to see what they are working on next and when they anticipate releasing it.ReplyDelete
In general, I prefer blogging. It's more connection with readers or authors than other types of social sites.
I hadn't really thought of it that way before but readers do expect to be able to find their favorite authors on the internet. In this day and age if they can't make themselves available the readers will find someone who can.ReplyDelete
My preferred method is through blogging and websites. I'm still too chicken to tackle twitter and I don't care for facebook.Replies
And it's not only that, but it's the way information is found and shared in today's world. The connections make it important because it turns the authors into real people, which when done right will create reader loyalty.Delete
We always must be careful out there. We've got spammers trying to hack us with their enticing links.ReplyDelete
I like fb the best. Seems I can relate more on a one to one.
Great post.
As a writer, I believe I enjoy blogging the best, and the reader in me loves to get a comment back from authors.ReplyDelete
I love being able to tell an author directly "Hey, I love your book!" and for them to be able to say "Thanks!". It adds that level of connectivity and familiarity that allows them to properly connect with their fans.ReplyDelete
I like blogs and Twitter best. I'm on FB, but am a terrible FB pal. Twitter is great for target marketing, but you can't sell, you have to be sociable. Like on the blogs.ReplyDelete
i am really enjoying blogging too---always good advice :)ReplyDelete
As a reader, without social media, I would never have connected with some of my favorite authors, especially the ones who are now reading my ARC for an author blurb. So it directly benefits me.ReplyDelete
As an author, the same goes, but even more so is the fact that I've connected with so many others who've helped me on my journey. This is kind of what my own post is about today.
I'm already seeing authors who are traditionally published marketing their books, but they don't need to put in the amount of time and energy that a self-published author must.ReplyDelete
From a reader's point-of-view I like to Google a favourite or new author, bookmark them and keep up to date with their latest works – book launches, festivals, reviews, writing advice etc. (many trad. published authors are starting to do this now).Replies
I think things have changed so much that traditionally published authors do need to put in as much energy in marketing as self-published authors now.Delete
I think I would still feel too shy to actually try to directly connect with authors that I hold in high esteem, lol. But it's nice to know the possibility is there nowadays.ReplyDelete
I use Twitter to follow leaders in the industry, both trad and ebook and those involved in marketing and social media helpful to writers. Their tweets lead me to interesting and helpful articles as well as connecting with writer friends. I also use FB, but I'm in closed groups that are around certain subjects. Some have strict rules about spamming. I also have a bunch of friends there. I try to do about a 1/2 hour when I get up, then wait until to check in again. I found many opportunities just because I do social media such as lit contests and scholarship. I'll be going off to an awesome writer's retreat in just a couple of weeks, all because I heard about the scholarship and applied. I won.ReplyDelete
You're right, with Twitter, there has to be a real, live person who can sustain a convo for the interaction to feel real. I'm not doing enough on the marketing side, but I try to do what I can each day.ReplyDelete
The advent of the internet has really made people of all walks of life so much more accessible. It's definitely changed the way authors life/write/market!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this. I hadn't thought about it from that angle, but it really makes sense. Now that I think about it; I'd not have connected with some of my favorite authors otherwise.ReplyDelete
Congrats on the award!

For me blogging and twitter have helped me meet people and keep track of the industry and what's going on... love it.ReplyDelete
As a reader, I love reading about an author's process and struggles, knowing that one day I'll get to read that book they were tweeting about.ReplyDelete
You make a valid point, Lynda. Today publishers are expecting us to actively market our books and connect with our readers. I prefer blogging to connect with other writers and my readers.ReplyDelete
Believable ordinary, with a surprise.ReplyDelete
I haven't checked Twitter in long weeks and doubt that I will any time soon. It's one promotional link after another. FB is too much sharing. I can't handle 200 family vacation photos. Think I'll remain with blogging and let the chips fall where they may.ReplyDelete
Think social networking needs to shake out. I need time for my husband, life's routine and responsibilities, and simply refuse to live at the computer at the expense of so much else. I'm still searching for that moderation.
Lynda, interesting post. I love blogging and will continue,(although blogger is driving me mad recently), it is where I set out on my journey to meet other writers.ReplyDelete
I use a FB account to connect with writers only. When my book was released I popped onto Twitter a couple of times, and found followers each time. Most were authors. I decided to up my game on there and have gained over 500 author followers in three weeks. Every day now I am meeting more and more. So I eased off of FB and spent the time on Twitter. They both help my platform building.
I like to blog, but it takes away from the actual writing of a manuscript. There needs to be more hours in the day or my kids need to learn how to cook:)ReplyDelete
All of the promotion tasks takes away from the writing time. My thought is you can't do everything-- well.ReplyDelete
Love the post.
Your question at the end made me scratch my head. I realized I only follow a handful of "famous" authors on Twitter. I actually left a comment on a famous authors blog the other day and was so nervous to hit "publish." I'm such a dork. I do think they checked out my blog after that comment though. :))ReplyDelete
i follow dan wells =) he's the best! and his bro robison. i always feel lowly when it comes to big authors...i dont really have to worry about promotion yet. get published, with all that work is next, then promote! i love the work! and no one will work harder for me than me!ReplyDelete
Social media can be intimidating. Especially Twitter.ReplyDelete
Most of these comments I agree with, but as an Indie writer I knew this was the path I would need to take, I am amazed to hear that with traditional publishing writers still need to follow this same pathway. Wow!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 28, 2012 at 12:25 AM
There are many books I buy without encountering the writers online, but I'm more likely to buy a book if I follow the author's FB page, Twitter, or blog. I feel like I "know" the person and I'm curious about their writing. Also, I like to support bloggers by reading their work.ReplyDelete
very interesting post..keep them coming dearReplyDelete
Tasty Appetite
Just added MAke Believe to my Goodreads to read.ReplyDelete
Learning a lot from this post and the comments.
I'm a big fan of social media to connect with authors. I like them all--published, not published, whatever. But I have to say that when I got 2 likes from two huge authors when I posted I finished my WIP, that was a big boost. Who knew they knew I existed?ReplyDeleteReplies
That's truly awesome. It's nice to know you exist ;)Delete
oh, yes. Social media is totally a great way for authors to connect with readers. It's also a way to connect w/friends and family who might not know what you're up to--LOL! I intend to use it, but you know, I've never actually used it to contact authors I like... hmmm... :o)ReplyDelete
My focus has remained on blogging. I find it limiting in many ways and probably more time consuming, but it has the potential for greater depth and intimacy. I haven't used Twitter or FB much for my own purposes or to connect with others. If I'm not reading these feeds I can only imagine that a lot of others aren't either.ReplyDelete
You make good points about the changing face of promotion not only for authors, but for all business.
Tossing It OutReplies
I'll be honest. I'm not totally convinced by FB especially now that only a small percentage of my followers and friends there see my posts. I have to pay FB for a higher percentage (which I refuse to do).Delete
I think we all have to find what works. We can't spread ourselves too thin, though.

NEXT SESSION: Tuesday, January 20
At Fleet Feet Sports, we want to insure that you meet your fitness goals without pesky pains and injuries standing in your way!
Dr. Kaylie Higgins from Kinetic Sports Rehab will be joining us on January 20 to offer free five minute Kinesio taping appointments. Whether you're coming to our Tuesday night run, No Boundaries practice, or just interested in seeing if taping can help an injury, sign up below for a free five minute appointment and taping.
"RockTape is a form of kinesiology tape, very different from a true athletic tape. The tape has a built in elasticity, that when applied correctly, helps to pull the skin away from the underlying soft tissue. This increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage in the area, resulting in an ability to IMPROVE FORM and WARD OFF FATIGUE. The continual force that is applied to the body with each foot strike, makes runners ideal candidates for benefiting from RockTape. Simply put: when runners fatigue, form is lost. When runners lose form, they compensate. Continual compensation= increased chance for injury. Enter, RockTape.
RockTape is useful for, but not limited to, the following conditions:
ITB Syndrome
Jumper's Knee (PFS)
Groin and Hamstring Strains
Plantar Fasciitis
Postural Corrections
Low Back Pain
Achilles Tendonitis
Shin Splints
Shoulder Impingement
Rotator Cuff
Carpal Tunnel
Tennis and Golf elbow
Last but not least, RockTape is available in an amazing array of colors- sure to match any outfit you throw at it, all while making your friends jealous!"
-Dr. Kaylie Higgins, DC
Kinetic Sports Rehab
Appointments will be taken on a first come basis and an email confirmation will be sent to you prior to the session.

The cold air biting at your lungs with every deep breath, the weight of the sled in your mitten-ed hand, the bright sunlight glinting off acres of hot white snow, there is nothing better than a clear sunny day right after a deep snowfall for sledding on Cape Cod.
Yesterday was just such a day — six new inches from Saturday's "ValenBlizzard," cousins visiting from Connecticut and a bright blue cloudless sky. We dressed the crew up with all the gear, grabbed every sled we could unearth amidst sails, paddleboards and other basement debris, and walked over to the Woods Hole golf course.
What vistas are to be had for the intrepid who wander its lush hills and valleys! In winter, this private club becomes our neighborhood sledding destination, with slopes varying from beginner to what locals call wicked steep. In a scene reminiscent of Bruegel, we trudged in a single line across the vast meadow of snow towards the peak, top of hole 8, slickest spot on the course.
There was little time to pause and see Buzzards Bay flecked with white caps in the distance, or look the other way to see Martha's Vineyard dancing across the Sound through bare winter trees — as we rushed to enjoy the epic Cape Cod sledding, the whoosh of speeding down, so exhilarating yet brief, followed by the epic march back up the hill.
Many laughs, selfies and snow heaps of exhausted children later, we piled back down the hill for cups of chowder and hot cocoa all around at the new Quicks Hole Tavern in Woods Hole. A great winter's vacation day, sledding here on Cape Cod.

Trainspotting. What a film. And after over 20 years, a sequel is finally on the way - but what the world wants to know is, can it possibly live up to the original?
Well, the early signs are good. It was announced in December that the original cast were all confirmed to return, with Danny Boyle at the helm, along with the welcome news that John Hodge would be returning to write the screenplay.
With production beginning in April, Vice spoke to Ewan McGregor, Kelly McDonald and Welsh, to discuss the original and plans for the sequel - and they got some seriously juicy quotes, including the revelation from Welsh that the sequel is based on Porno (the book sequel), but "it's also evolved. We've had to evolve past that, because the actors would have been ten years older when Porno came out, and now they're 20 years older. It has to take into account that reality."
In terms of the plot, he continued: "It's very much telling a story about Edinburgh as it currently is. The main element to the story is basically Renton, Begbie, Sick Boy and Spud getting back together again, and it tells the story of them getting involved in the vice industry in a very innovative way."
Meanwhile, McGregor sounds seriously confident, saying, "It's going to be incredible. It's a very beautiful, brilliant script – and it needed to be; I don't think any of us would have wanted to be involved in something that wasn't going to live up to the first film. That's the danger with any sequel, but especially this one and after such a long period of time."
Kelly McDonald, who played Diane in the original and had not been mentioned before in relation to the sequel revealed, "I'm in talks. I've read the script. I don't know how much I can talk about it, to be honest. It would be so interesting to work with the same people, and everyone will have changed, but I definitely know how to stand on a marker now. Trainspotting was my weird beginning, and I'm so grateful for it because that could have been it, but it's not, and now I'm actually getting to do this job that I really love."
Welsh gave some further revelations, saying: "I think it has some fantastic set pieces and great opportunities for the actors to knock it out of the park, so I'm very excited. I just know that Danny will come up with this amazing visualisation. I think it's going to be excellent. The thing that's going to be interesting is seeing how the young kids in the multiplex cinemas get on with it now, because they're older guys – it's not going to be a youth movie like Trainspotting was. It could be like watching your uncle dance at a wedding. Hopefully it will be fun and crazy enough. It's got the potential for some great, incendiary performances from the actors."
Talking about the most memorable scenes of the original, the two actors revealed their choices, with Ewan McGregor plumping for "the underwater sequences. I loved that. It's so un-busy and quiet, and you work with the camera in a very different way. I love that sequence – I love the idea of it and the sereneness of it. I loved all the scenes with Kelly. I loved the nightclub scene and outside the nightclub scene where [Renton's] trying to get off with her and gets in cab and all of that stuff. Snogging Kelly MacDonald in the back of a taxi, that was fun – I liked working with her very much. Kelly wasn't really an actress at that point; this was her first thing and she turned up and blew everyone away. The withdrawal scene was an incredible thing to shoot, with the extending room and Jimmy Cosmo playing my dad. The park scene with Jonny Lee Miller, shooting the dog – that was good fun. We didn't really shoot a dog, though."
Kelly McDonald explained her choice saying, "The club scene, coming out of it. I think it was my first day filming. That was a whole day and night shoot. All the boys were quite naughty and were drinking, so I was drinking... The sex scene was obviously quite nerve-racking. I was very sexually inexperienced at that stage and limited in that area, so it was all a bit embarrassing. I was so unthinking and so naive and young that that was the day I invited my mum and my brother to the set."
They must have enjoyed that.

For several months now, Boeing has acknowledged that it is looking at boosting production of its fast-selling 787 Dreamliner to more quickly get planes into the hands of customers starting in 2008.
One possibility is that Boeing will have a second assembly line at the Everett plant.
Craig Saddler, Boeing's 787 finance director, talked about this Thursday at a Paris news conference. Here's part of a report from the Wall Street Journal.
Boeing is aiming to deliver 112 aircraft during the first 18 months of the production cycle, he said, and the pace of production will be stepped up thereafter.
"If we take the production rate up even higher – and this is part of our studies with our suppliers – we would probably have to set up a second production line," he said.
