text: [NOTE: To accommodate people who were busy submitting to ICFP/PPDP, the submission deadline has been extended through 26 March 2000.] Call for Papers Workshop on Intersection Types and Related Systems (ITRS '00) University of Geneva, Switzerland Saturday, 15 July 2000 http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~jbw/itrs/itrs00/ Co-located with ICALP '00, the 27th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (9 to 15 July 2000) http://cuiwww.unige.ch/~icalp/ IMPORTANT DATES/DEADLINES: Submission of papers: Friday, 26 March 2000 Notification of acceptance: Friday, 12 April 2000 Proceedings version: Friday, 28 April 2000 Workshop: Saturday, 15 July 2000 OVERALL TOPIC AND FORMAT OF WORKSHOP: Types support reliable reasoning in many areas such as programming languages, logic, linguistics, etc. A _polymorphic_ type is one that stands for some number of instance types. The use of type systems for non-trivial purposes generally requires type polymorphism. Intersection types, which were introduced roughly twenty years ago, provide type polymorphism by listing type instances. This differs from the more widely used universal types, which provide type polymorphism by giving a type scheme that can be instantiated into various type instances. (A similar relationship holds between union types and existential types, the duals of intersection types and universal types.) Intersection types were initially intended for use in analyzing and/or synthesizing lambda models as well as in analyzing normalization properties. Over the last twenty years the scope of theoretical research on intersection types has broadened (see possible topics below). Recently, there have been a number of breakthroughs in the use of intersection types (and similar technology) for practical purposes such as program analysis. The ITRS '00 workshop will bring together researchers working on both the theory and practice of systems with intersection types and related systems (e.g., union types, refinement types, etc.). The workshop will last one full day and will contain a long talk by each invited speaker, a panel discussion, and a short (approx. 25 minutes) talk for each accepted paper. The proceedings will be published by Carleton University Press in their International Informatics Series; copies will be distributed at the workshop. POSSIBLE TOPICS FOR SUBMITTED PAPERS: Researchers are invited to submit original papers on topics in the spirit of the workshop. Possible topics for submitted papers include, but are not limited to: * Formal properties of systems with intersection types: principal typings, normalization properties (for normal forms, head-normal forms, weak head-normal forms, etc.), type inference algorithms. * Results for clearly related systems, e.g., systems with union types, refinement types, or singleton types. * Connections with not-so-clearly related approaches such as abstract interpretation and contraints. * Applications to lambda calculus and similar systems, e.g., denotational semantics, analysis/synthesis of lambda models (domains), characterization of operational properties, etc. * Applications for programming languages, e.g., program analysis (flow, strictness, totality, etc.), accurate type error messages, increased flexibility with static typing, separate compilation and modularity, optimizing transformations, types for objects, etc. * Applications for other areas, e.g., database query languages, program extraction from proofs, type systems for natural languages. INVITED SPEAKERS (all confirmed): Mariangiola Dezani-Ciancaglini (Universitŕ di Torino, Italy) John Reynolds (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Adriana Compagnoni (Stevens Institute of Technology, USA) Maribel Fernández (École Normale Supérieure, France) Thomas Jensen (IRISA/CNRS, Rennes, France) Jean-Louis Krivine (Université Paris 7, France) Jens Palsberg (Purdue University, Indiana, USA) Simona Ronchi Della Rocca (Universitŕ di Torino, Italy) Betti Venneri (Universitŕ di Firenze, Italy) Joe Wells (Chair) (Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland) SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: TOPIC: A submitted paper must describe work that does not substantially overlap with work that has been previously published or is currently being considered elsewhere (e.g., another workshop, conference, or journal). Feel free to consult the program chair on the appropriateness of a topic or the possibility of conflict with another publication. PRINTED APPEARANCE: The paper must be written in English. The paper (including bibliography) should not exceed 15 pages. The paper should use reasonable font size and internal spacing. The printed area should be in one column occupying 130 mm horizontally and 200 mm vertically. (WARNING: the printed area size is small! Do not wait until the last minute to make this adjustment!) It is recommended to include full proofs of any theorems in appendices if they will not fit in 15 pages. However, any appendices beyond the 15-page limit should not be needed for judging the paper and will not be included in the proceedings. PAPER ELECTRONIC FORMAT: The paper should be in PostScript. Every effort should be made to ensure that only portable PostScript features are used (e.g., avoid using non-standard built-in fonts). For other formats, ask the program chair well in advance of the deadline. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION: The paper should include (1) the title, (2) the list of authors, (3) a brief abstract (fewer than 200 words), (4) a short list of key words/topics, and (5) the name, e-mail address, postal address, voice telephone number, and fax number of the corresponding author. All of this information should be repeated at the beginning of the submission e-mail message in plain text (e.g., no TeX codes). SUBMISSION E-MAIL FORMAT: The submission should be an e-mail message sent to the submission address (see below) to arrive no later than noon UTC on the day of the submission deadline (see above). This e-mail message should contain first the administrative information and then the paper. The paper should be included in the e-mail message either in uuencoded format or as a properly labelled MIME attachment. The name of the uuencoded file or MIME attachment should begin with the surnames of the authors, in lowercase letters, separated by "+".

"The Amazing Spider-Man" was the hero of the box office this weekend, swinging to the No. 1 position past a new documentary about Katy Perry and Oliver Stone's gritty "Savages."
The 3-D superhero flick starring Andrew Garfield debuted Tuesday and proceeded to gross $140 million during its first six days in theaters, according to an estimate from distributor Sony Pictures. The weekend's other debuts got off to less impressive starts: The drug cartel drama "Savages" collected a decent $16.2 million and "Katy Perry: A Part of Me" made only $7.2 million over the weekend.
The solid launch for the new Spidey flick likely eased any concern that Sony had about rebooting the popular franchise. In 2010, the studio scrapped a planned fourth installment starring Tobey Maguire that was to be directed by Sam Raimi. Instead, executives decided on a risky new creative direction that centered on the superhero's high school days -- a plot line similar to the one in the original "Spider-Man," which launched only a decade ago.
For more on how the web-slinger was received at the multiplex, check out this weekend's box office video report.

Visiting player taken away in an ambulance after attempting to make a tackle; game halted citing lack of players and safety concerns
Immanuel Christian School's game against Pilgrim High School came to an abrupt end on Saturday when Pilgrim running back Albert Park was taken away in an ambulance following a hard collision in the second quarter.
Park went down after colliding with Sterling Board attempting to make a tackle. The two hit, with Board falling forward onto Park.
The Patriots' workhorse didn't get up, complaining of a throat injury. According to ICS Athletic Director, Park was taken to Ridgecrest Regional Hospital as a precaution because the injury was in the neck area.
"Anytime there is a neck issue, it's best to take him in," Smith said.
Pilgrim started the game with just eight players and had already lost its quarterback in the first quarter with an apparent leg injury. With just six players available to play, both athletic directors decided it wasn't worth the risk to other players to keep going.
At the time of the stoppage, ICS was leading 22-0 with less than 9 minutes left in the second quarter. Both sides were already playing with seven players each.
The game will go down as a win for ICS, but it wasn't immidiatly clear if the stats would stand.

Djokovic hits top gear to destroy Ferrer
Novak Djokovic powered into another Australian Open final after crushing David Ferrer with what he described as "one of the best performances of my career".
The Serbian was in irresistible form as he swept aside the fourth-seeded Spaniard 6-2 6-2 6-1. He goes into Sunday's final against either Roger Federer or Andy Murray knowing a win will see him make history as the first man in the Open era to win three Melbourne titles in succession. And on this evidence few would back against him.
"It can only do positive things for my confidence," said the world number one following his 89-minute masterclass. "Playing against the world number four and someone I have great respect for... and to be able to play as well as I did was incredible. This was definitely one of the best performances of my career."
Asked if he can play better, he said: "I don't think so, I played incredible tennis. I felt very comfortable and very confident from the start. I don't expect myself to always play this well. But hopefully I can maintain this level in the final."
The five-time major winner will head into Sunday's showdown in better shape than last year when he had to battle through an epic last-four clash with Murray before going to on to beat Rafael Nadal in a final which lasted seven minutes short of six hours.
He added: "I prefer being fitter for the final (this year) than I was in 2012. It's quite different circumstances that I have to face this time."
Ferrer is regarded as one of toughest players on the ATP Tour to break down, yet he was swept aside by the world number one who was on top of his game from the outset. Blazing winners from all angles of the court, he made the fourth seed look like an also-ran.
The Serbian broke twice in the first set and maintained his level at the start of the second by establishing a 3-1 lead. Ferrer looked like a rabbit trapped in the headlights and double-faulted at break point to hand his opponent a 4-1 advantage.
Djokovic served it out, helped at 5-2 by a wonderful backhand winner which had the crowd on Rod Laver Arena gasping. It seemed his level had to drop; instead, he got better. He came out on top in a 32-point rally to set up another break at the start of the third and was by now in full flow, two more crushing backhands extending his advantage to 3-0.
Ferrer hit back from two sets down to beat Nicolas Almagro in the previous round but there was never any chance of a repeat as Djokovic broke once more to win a one-sided match. Ferrer said: "He played very well. Novak was better throughout. I got to the semi-final and it was a good three weeks. I am happy with that but not happy with my game."

The Monieson Centre for Business Research
Monieson Centre for Business Research in Healthcare
New opportunities for academics, business leaders and policymakers to develop research-based solutions to real-world problems
Queen's Health Policy Conference Series: Building a national strategy to transform Canadian Healthcare
Queen's Health Policy Conference Series
Managing a Canadian Healthcare Strategy, the third conference in Queen's Health Policy Change series, will be in Toronto, May 6-7,2015. Canadian and international leaders will come together to determine how to measure, monitor, manage and mobilize a national strategy to transform our nation's healthcare system.
Creating National Change: Lessons for Canada from Australia
Video interview with three Australian healthcare leaders
From the 2014 Queen's Health Policy Change Conference: an interview with three health care leaders from Australia. In 2013, Australia adopted a national primary care strategy. The panelists talk about the political and policy challenges associated with bringing about this system-wide approach. In recounting of the Australian experience it became apparent that Canada has much to learn from Australia's journey.
Monieson-CIHR Change Management in Healthcare Report
Mobilizing research to change our healthcare system
The Change Management in Healthcare Policy Workshop brought together healthcare and business leaders, policymakers, and researchers on January 8th, 2014 in Kingston. The one-day workshop featured an interdisciplinary panel discussion and an interactive, facilitated dialogue to outline the next steps for future collaborative research projects. The report outlines a vision for partner-oriented research on healthcare policy reform.
What is the Meaning of Strategy in the Context of Canadian Healthcare?
Backgrounder to Queen's Health Policy Change Conference Series
Skeptics might say that other than the Canada Health Act , we do not have an overall national level strategy per se and that the thirteen provinces and territories have their own strategies. Before addressing the issues of whether we should have a 'Canadian' strategy - what it would look like and who would hold the jurisdictional controls - we need to understand what a strategy is and how it could apply to our discussions. What follows is a note on the concept of strategy and its application to an integrated Canadian approach to healthcare.
What we do
Build Multi-disciplinary Research Teams
Engage business researchers, in engineering and the social sciences, to explore research questions that address the business aspects of healthcare theory, policy and practice.
Create and Transfer Knowledge
Support and produce whitepapers, plus academic and professional publications in select areas of business-related healthcare policy. The three-part Monieson led Queen's Health Policy Change Conferences Series will produce ten whitepapers by 2012 detailing a national healthcare strategy for Canada.
Support Services
Provide grant application preparation support, research project management and administration, and events structuring and management such as speaker series, conferences and workshops
The Monieson Centre augments its research mission with active participation, development and support of masters and executive programs in the business of healthcare.

mc-melon necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 59 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
We have built a framework for a motorcycle specific social network. It's a hub from which individual motorcycle social networks can be branched, yet all linked together in various ways for enhanced user experience and faster growth. think of it as a "niche ning" concept, but all the individual sites work together.
We need the logo for the main network hub, the place where businesses and organizations will go to inquire about joining our network and using our app to help their business go social.
Seeking a logo for "Ride Apps", which is the name of the application we've built for launching individual motorcycle specific social networks. We're going to use this logo to build a minimal / web2.0 page to explain our concept and accept inquiries from businesses wanting to 'go social' on our platform.
example of style of site we intend to use this logo on: boxee.tv
the logo will also be used on postcards and in some graphics placed in various print media.
Our platform will likely be extended to bicycling and boating next. As such, I'm seeking a logo style that is unique, but a plus is if it can be edited into CycleApps.com and BoatApps.com logos later with some design tweaks. For now, we just need a sweet logo for RideApps.com
Logo for RideApps.com, web2.0, open on color but suggest use of green or blue. not red, not purple/pink or girly.
the style of design we like is the logo at
http://3.cycleapps.com/ - clean, web2.0, unique.
our very temporary placeholder for the RideApps logo is at the bottom of that page... or at
http://3.cycleapps.com/img/fatmoto/powered.jpg .. do not let this little sample confuse, we do not want it to say "rideR apps" but instead "Ride Apps", also do not feel you need to have with a sprocket.. I'd prefer you did not actually. I'm NOT looking for a clone of this (we can do that), but it is simple and web2.0 ... hopefully you can replace this C- sample with an A+
An emblem or graphic that ties it to motorcycling is acceptable, but it must be modern/cool. don't put a motorcyle on it unless it just rocks, and a memorable logo that is simple will go a lot farther than some logo with a clipart motorcycle dude on it... I have a hard time seeing such a logo with all that graphic detail working.
Please show me this logo on a white, gray, and black background.
the logo must look good large, but must especially look good in both medium size (such as 300px) and small (such as 140px wide).
Legibile font is key. fonts that are hard to read will be quickly disqualified. The font needs sent with the logo please.
Unique and memorable, with a modern/clean style is the basis for selecting the new logo.
playing around on 99 designs, I liked these logos:
http://99designs.com/contests/18987…es/1495984 - so unique and well suited for them (great for tshirt or ad)
http://99designs.com/contests/18987…es/1506659 - clean/stylish
http://99designs.com/contests/18987…es/1501770 - clean/stylish and memorable!
http://99designs.com/contests/18917…#entry-170 - too perfect for the design spec!
Take a little leash, try something cool, but too much detail pls ... A great concept will likely win, not heavy artistic complexity.
If you were able to convey it was a social network within the logo, while keeping it clean/stylish, that's a nice bonus!
- no crazy, scripty, or "etched/grunge/etc" font types
- nothing really wild... no zebra, no high detail... clean, stylish, and memorable.
- don't feel pressured to put some motorcyle graphic on there, but if you can come up with a cool helmet or other moto related item to tie in the niche, or simply convey it's a social network, and it's unique/memorable/cool.... sweet.

I can't remember a front office doing a worse job than Milwaukee in assembling a NBA team. It was only a few years ago they had a good playoff run with the 'Fear the Deer' but that team has now self-destructed. The Bucks have been tanking for years, they just didn't realise it. I can see the Denver Nuggets heading the same way in a few years time after last years promising season.
10 in a row and 6 on the road! I know it is only the Bucks but a win is a win and the Warriors have been guilty of losing to the rubbish teams in previous times.
It sucks to be Gary Neal. I bet he wakes up every morning wondering why he ever left the Spurs.

God didn't create the hell for sinners, they did it themselvesThe Russian Orthodox Church's representative to the European International Institutions Bishop Hilarion of Vienna and Austria, on Interfax-Religion's request, commented on the recent suggestion of Danish Lutheran theologians to consider the hell and the devil a metaphor and to accept only existence of the paradise. Meanwhile, the Eastern Christian tradition has never considered the hell as created by God to punish sinners. God didn't create the hell, free will of people has created it. It exists not because God wants it, but because people keep it existing. They first create the hell on Earth and then carry it on to the afterworld.
Did not Jesus Himself say that hell was created for the Devil and his angels? So it's true that He did not create it for man but this statement certainly seems to indicate that God did in fact create hell.
Where do you see God being identified of the agent of creation in that sentence?

Based on the Greek mythological conflict between the Gods of the Olympus and the Titans, Legend of Edda takes players through a dynamic storyline divided into five unique chapters based on the conflict of two opposing factions.
Players will pledge their allegiance to Olympus or Titan from the beginning - prior to character creation - which will play a large role in upcoming PVP and RVR battles. Fast-paced PVP battles are the cornerstone of the game and will include intense personal battles, guild battles and player-killing (PK) where opposing factions can attack each other at any time. Additional PVP battles will include the Sacred Treasure Battle: a large scale RVR battle between followers of each god to obtain the sacred treasures and, lastly, the game features Guild vs. Guild mode, where players will battle within an enclosed battle ring.

An Exploration Into How Politicians Make Up Numbers; The Mythical 74,000 Jobs Lost By FAA Shutdown
from the who-did-what-now? dept
Trails point us to a similar analysis of the discussion over the recent FAA shutdown (which finally ended). If you read the press reports, you probably saw claims that 74,000 people lost jobs because of the shutdown. It was pretty much everywhere (here are
The 70,000 figure entered the public sphere when the FAA turned to Associated General Contractors of America, a construction industry group, to calculate the economic impact of the FAA funding impasse. The FAA had halted more than 200 construction projects totaling $2.5 billion.Now that does add up to 70,000 workers (plus the 4,000 directly furloughed by the FAA to get 74,000). Except... of course, that 46,000 of those jobs weren't actually lost. They were just impacted. The guy who actually did the study admits that those other 46,000 jobs were not construction workers out of work, but people like "drug store clerks and restaurant waitresses, who might see 'a tiny bit less revenue flow.'"
AGC dusted off the 3-year-old study conducted by Fuller. His research, designed to show the "multiplier effect" of the president's stimulus package, concluded in early 2009 that $1 billion in nonresidential construction created or supported 28,500 jobs and added $3.4 billion to the Gross Domestic Product.
An AGC economist applied Fuller's formula to the FAA's $2.5 billion construction halt and came to the conclusion that it would put "24,000 construction workers out of work." Another 11,000 workers in related businesses "are also affected," the AGC said, and "as many as 35,000 jobs will be undermined in the broader economy, from the lunch wagon near the job site to the truck dealership across town."
But that didn't stop the press or the politicians. In fact, many of them quickly started inflating the already massively inflated 74,000 even higher:
"Seventy-five thousand people are now over the precipice," Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, said at a Wednesday news conference.That this is probably more than three times the actual number... well, why let facts get in the way. And people wonder why no one trusts the AFL-CIO any more...
"We have 80,000 jobs at least on the line," said Majority Leader Harry Reid at one briefing Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the AFL-CIO Executive Council got into the action. In a news release, it said House Republicans "jeopardized 90,000 airport construction jobs." Two sentences later, it went for the brass ring: "Congress must (act) to preserve almost 100,000 American jobs," it said.

As all in one solutions go, you simply can't beat the 100W Amplified Bass Tubes by Bazooka. Designed to be a simple-to-install, yet effective upgrade to your car's existing mobile audio system, the 100W Bass Tubes feature a 100 watt, 2-channel amplifier built right in, coupled to a dual voice coil woofer. Since the amplifier has a built in crossover to remove the high frequencies the woofer cannot play from the signal, you get exactly what you need—crisp, clean bass and nothing more. When connected to your system, the end result is seamless integration, both electrically and audibly, yielding sound quality your factory autosound system simply can't touch.
The BTA6100 features a 6 inch dual voice coil subwoofer, and fits in places most subs can't. The 6 inch works great behind the seat of small trucks, the trunks of sedans or hatchbacks. Simply point it into the rear corner to take advantage of the Bass Tubes Enclosure , and you're rockin' in no time!
Use our F.A.S.T. harnesses to make installation even easier! At $49, they're an easy way to protect your vehicle's warranty by making installation a simple, plug-in process. The T-shaped harness has 3 ends: 1 plugs into your car's OE radio, 1 plugs into the plug you removed from the OE radio, and the 3rd end runs all the way back to the rear of the car and plugs into your Bazooka subwoofer. Great for leased vehicles, the our F.A.S.T. systems are available most popular cars.
The perfect accessory the BTA10100 is the RBCM, allowing you to control the amount of bass from the driver's seat, simply add the optional plug in Remote Bass Control Module (RBCM-100)!
As with all Bass Tubes Enclosures , the BTA6100 comes with straps to keep the sub securely mounted, while still making removal quick and easy if you need even more cargo room. Optional Chrome-Plated UMS Brackets give a flashier look, as well as a more secure, permanent mounting when removal isn't a problem.

CARSON, Calif. -- The United States Under-20's learned their opponents for the group stage of 2013 CONCACAF U-20 Championship in Puebla, Mexico, which serves as the qualifying tournament for the 2013 Under-20 World Cup.
The Americans were awarded the top seed in Group A for the tournament that takes place from February 18 through March 2 and will take on Costa Rica and Haiti. The top two nations in each of the four groups will reach the quarterfinals while the four nations that advance to the semifinals will move on to the 2013 U-20 World Cup in Turkey. (The complete schedule for the CONCACAF tournament can be found here.)
One player that is expected to be on the field for the Americans in Mexico is LA Galaxy forward Jose Villarreal, who is hopeful that he can become a key part of U-20 head coach Tab Ramos' squad.
"That's important for me getting to be with the Under-20s and getting ready for qualifiers and hopefully we make it to the World Cup," said Villarreal. "It's going to get me fitter and expose me to different players, different coaches, and different styles of play."
With World Cup qualifying in his sights, Villarreal admits that he's certainly learned a great deal during his U-20 experience.
"It's definitely positive in every way," said Villarreal. "It's a little similar to what the national team is like and it's always fun to be around a group of guys that are the best in their age group. It's just fun because you can learn a lot from them and we're all friends and it's always fun to play with friends."

More Patients Move From E.R. to O.U.
Are those chest pains a possible heart attack? Increasingly, patients who show up in the ER with complaints that can't be quickly or conclusively diagnosed are being shifted them to observation units that keep them an average of 15 hours. Emory University's Dr. Michael Ross and WSJ's Laura Landro discuss on Lunch Break. Photo: Brigham and Womens Hospital.

XML CSS = IFigure
I think everyone who comes across with GEF notices how is it difficult to create IFigure elements. A simple IFigure element which consists of other different Figure elements is often needed to be developed on Java. But there are more comfortable methods for solving this task. These are HTML and CSS. The goals of this project are: to create a library that helps a GEF user to make IFigure easier with the help subset of HTML and CSS.
- Student: Andrey Vakunov
- Mentor: Andrey Platov
To simplify a GMF/GEF/Draw2d user the creation of IFigure elements. To make a possibility to create IFigure objects with the help of subset HTML and CSS:
- the possibility to use div, table, tr, td etc. tags. (subset will be discussed with mentor)
- possibility to use basic CSS elements.
Current status:
- Define usecases with HTML and CSS.
- Define subset of possible elements that needs to be supported (use EMF model).
- Provide possibility to extend model. For example by SVG (use Apache Batik as renderer).
- Create renderer using created usecases.
Getting the source
- Buckminster configuration
How it works
- At the first step the set of XML and CSS go to the number of parsers. Particularly, there are XML and CSS parsers. Now, there is simple realization of XML parser. There has not been CSS parser yet (just a fake implementation), but its realization is planed with the help of org.w3c.css.sac and org.apache.batik.css bundles.
- The result of CSS parser's work is the styles' tree.
- The result of XML parser's work is one of the model objects (step 3). The model is built using EMF. There are such entities as Button, Container, Div, Image, Label, Rendereable, Table, TableCell, TableRow
- At the step 4 there is a creation of MVC controllers tree, that are called Renderer.
- At the step 5 the styles are applied to controller tree.
- At the step 6 there is a view presentation of model using IFigure elements.
- Element description consists of several parts:
- model element ( extends of org.eclipse.xmlfigure.model.Rendereable). Contains attributes, which may contain an element and relations between other model elements, and also an annotation which contains tag name
- parsing element (extends of org.eclipse.xmlfigure.parsers.ElementParser ). Describes the transformation of org.w3c.dom.Element to the model element. By creating the new element ElementParser may not be created, the standard implementation uses the information about EMF model.
- controller element(extends of org.eclipse.xmlfigure.editpart.CommonEditPart). Controller is the part of MVC pattern. It contains the relation between the model and the view. It is also responsible for applying styles.
- view element( standard org.eclipse.draw2d.Figure)
- Style description consists of several parts:
- Model element ( extends of org.eclipse.xmlfigure.model.Style)
- It is responsible for style model and parsing of org.w3c.css.sac.LexicalUnit elements
- Applying element( extends of StyleApply ). This class describes how the style works, how it applies to Figure, how it merges with other Styles.
- UI part consists of:
- New Xml Figure Wizard (File > New > Other... > Other > New XML Figure)
- Xml Figure Editor (standard WST editor with redefine OutLine View).
- Additionally made new contentType and new xsd are registered in Eclipse XML Catalog
org.eclipse.xmlfigure.XmlFigure class is a library entrance class. The example of using this class can be seen in org.eclipse.xmlfigure.ui.XmlFigureOutlinePage (method redraw).
What is planed:
- To extend XML parser
- the parser has to support the extension. Particularly, there must be the possibility to add some tags from SVG namespace in XML
- to use standard parser
- Usecases implementation
- Errors handling
- More styles implementation
Elements with attributes and applied styles:
All elements attributes: style, class
- table
- Styles: spacing, background, border, border-top, border-bottom,border-left,border-right
- tr
- td
- Styles: background, padding, spacing, border, border-top, border-bottom,border-left,border-right
- div
- Styles: background, padding, spacing, border, border-top, border-bottom,border-left,border-right
- Attributes:
- horizontal: boolean
- width : int
- height : int
- label
- Styles: background, border, border-top, border-bottom,border-left,border-right, font, padding
- Attributes:
- value : string
- button
- Styles: border, border-top, border-bottom,border-left,border-right, font, background, padding
- Attributes:
- label : string
- image
- Attributes:
- href : string
- Attributes:
User Interface
First you can create new figure file using wizard
Open XML Figure editor.
And start work with editor (Outline View shows result of XMLFigure library)

Proposed CSS styles:
Another ideas:
- Add Scripting functionality

NEW YORK (AP) - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has reinstated New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton following a season-long suspension for his role in the team's bounty scandal.
The announcement comes Tuesday, a day after Payton met with Goodell. At the meeting, Payton took responsibility for the actions of his coaching staff.
Goodell says Payton has "fully complied with all the requirements imposed on him during his suspension."
Payton says in a statement that he recognized mistakes were made "which led to league violations," and adds he's "excited to be back as head coach of the New Orleans Saints."
Payton, along with several coaches, the general manager and four players, was suspended in connection with the league's bounty investigation that found the club had a performance pool offering cash rewards for key plays, including big hits.

Colette Laurel: water on shale
Added Jun 6, 2013
by meggly
Portsmouth, Unit...
This was a wearable muslin for the new Colette Patterns shift dress pattern. I also entered it into the competition they were running.
I made versions 1,2 & 3 (4 is a top version) and drafted a peter-pan collar and cap sleeves (the pattern has drapey elbow-length sleeves).
The pattern has bust and back darts.
I acsessorised it with a broach inherited from my Nanny on the lapel as a necklace would have detracted from the neck-line.
I blogged it here: http://material-girl.org/2013/05/28/like-water-on-shale-reviewing-laurel/
Material Notes
The shell fabric is a very light-weight satin with a slightly off-vertical raggedy-edged stripe; I'm not sure about the fiber content. The stripe was horizontal, but I turned it 90o to give me a vertical stripe. The dress is interlined with muslin and lined with a Pierre Balmain remnant (apparently hidden in a Berlin warehouse for the last 30 years!). The sleeves and collar are a black raw silk.

thank you for your help
Yes. When I started to look into Theravada I tried to get exact definitions of terms. It prooved impossible because different translators and teachers would use different translations into english (or german at that) and tried to name different experiences and factors of experience by them.It's going to be difficult to start the discussion, even with that concession. We have quite a gap to bridge in terms of finding some common ground on the characteristics of a Jhana.
Take for example "samadhi". In yoga the term is translated as "collection". "Concentration" - the term translated as samadhi in Theravada - is "dharana" in yoga, literally "holding fast". In yoga samadhi/collection denotes a state with different possible objects, different activities, I think "flow" is what we use today:
That is why I compare it to how a horse is collected. Same name even. Collection, both in yoga (aka samadhi) and horses refers to a specific state the horse or mind can be in. What horse or mind DO during collection can vary widely. But in Theravada samadhi is just translated as concentration. Concentration is an activity, not a state. It is what is done, to hold something fast, not the resulting state of flow.Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person in an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
As Theravada seems to already use samadhi as the deed, rather than the state, thus jhana seemed the appropriate translation of "collection/flow".
To understand flow, collection, one has to experience it. In my experience, flow itself is not lucid. Meaning, there is no sati, no awareness of what happens while it happens. Only afterwards one realises one has been in flow. For becoming lucid during flow other processes need to awaken: sati and uppekha (looking on).
In yoga today the term "samadhi" seeems to always refer to a lucid state, a state with sati, while in Theravada it has several meanings http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/auth ... html#ch1.3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) . But - just for the sake of discussion - what if neither was the orignal definition, or the definition during the time of the Buddha? What if the original definition was "collection", aka flow? In this case "samadhi + sati + uppekha might be the definition of a lucid flow-state called jhana. Would this make sense in the suttas?
In my experience the iddhis do require a specific state of concentration but not absorption with it nor necessarily sati. There had not always been awareness when they happened but their appearance in general was more often when I would practice jhana. Also, all the traditions, Theravada, Mahayana, Hinduism, etc, agree that practice of a specific state of concentration leads to the arising of iddhis. So there is a connection.Personally, I believe that the samadhi from which the iddhis are accessed is probably that state denoted by the Commentaries as "upacara samadhi".
I didn't know that.Clearly, the Jhanas are not the only states that are free from the Hindrances, given the many "sudden stream entry" suttas using the standard pericope of the Buddha teaching the 4 Noble Truths when the listener was "free from the Hindrances".
Have you considered the Iddhipadasamyutta of the SN as perhaps containing the answer to your query? It seems to me that all the 4 iddhipada-s are based on certain samadhi-s with specific qualities.
Yes, but it seems just to describe that it is so, not the mechanism. Sort of "if the monk did that, this will happen." Without further information of the "that" in the "did that" - and there are after all several interpretations - it is not much of a help.
All I can be sure of is that if I practice the way I used to there is an increase of experiencing the iddhis. And not always due to my intent or even lucidity. This is why I search for a way to develop sati during their appearance.
I am of the view that the iddhipadas samadhi are not Jhana, especially when you consider the 1st and 4th iddhipada. The 1st samadhi contains "volitional formations of striving" (padhānasaṅkhārasamannāgataṃ), whereas DN 34 and the Samadhi Sutta (in AN 5s) specifically mention that the Jhanas are "na sasaṅkhāraniggayhavāritagatoti" (without being controlled by volition).
There is control during jhana, has to be, just as there is control during samadhi. But the authority that keeps control can differ. Using the horse-rider analogy, during samadhi (my speculative defintion above aka flow) the horse is in control, but during jhana it is the rider (a transcendental function based on sati). Samadhi is like a horse collecting itself (for fight or impressing another horse). Samadhi with sati is like a rider sitting on a horse that collects itself for it's own reasons - the rider has no control. Jhana is like a collected horse controled by the rider due to the "throughness" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throughness" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). The question is: what exactly is "throughness" in terms of Dhamma? Or to put it differently: what is the transcendental authority (in terms of a function) in control of the state of jhana when it is not volition?
Let me get this straight: you think that when Gautama moved through the levels of jhana he "sidesteped" fourth jhana and entered another samadhi to access the "recall all my previous lives iddhi"?This is further reinforced by the 4th iddhipada which is based on investigation (vimaṃsa). That is the function of the Enlightenment Factor of Dhammavicaya; see this post - viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7360&p=121106&hilit=vicarati#p121106
These are not states that can occur in a Jhana.
You provided me with a lot of new possibilites and links to search for a many-years quest. Thank you for thatSorry if I cannot be of much help.

Gonzales at the International Institute for Strategic Studies
LONDON, ENGLAND March 7, 2006
Thank you. It's a privilege to be here, and I appreciate the opportunity to exchange views about our shared struggle to keep our citizens safe in the face of the continuing threat of global terrorism. As democratic societies anchored on civil liberties and the rule of law, America and Europe face enormous challenges in responding effectively to the terrorist threat. And let us be frank: the United States and some of its closest democratic allies have disagreed on how to approach certain aspects of the struggle against terrorism. The war in Iraq and issues relating to the detention of terrorists and foreign fighters are extremely difficult and have caused particular concern. But I want to begin by underscoring that we are committed to working together with our Allies and partners, in full respect of our respective national sovereignties, and we wish to remain engaged in an open and constructive dialogue on these challenging issues. That is precisely what brings me here today. Although these issues are complex we must not let the consensus between the United States and Europe in fighting terrorism be weakened over differences in how we approach the fight. Prevailing in this global struggle is essential to us all – and only through a strong continued partnership between the United States and Europe will we be able to disrupt militant conspiracies, destroy their ability to commit terrorist acts, and give millions in a troubled region a hopeful alternative to the terrorists' ideology of hatred, fear, and repression. Freedom, after all, is not for Americans and Europeans alone, but is the enduring hope of all humanity. A close and united partnership between Europe and the United States remains vital to the security and prosperity of all our countries and, indeed, the whole world. I. Successes I think it's important to take a moment at the outset to reflect on what we have
achieved working together over the last few years in the criminal justice arena. It is all too easy to focus on the challenges facing the trans-Atlantic relationship without fully appreciating the massive amount of work – and the profound successes – we have achieved. Together we are confronting the reality of terrorism with a steadfast resolve – and we are doing so with remarkable effect in many areas. In the last few years, we have reached out to one another and secured unprecedented new levels of cooperation between our respective criminal justice systems. We are coordinating closely with the U.K. in support of its investigations into the July 2005 London attacks. In 2004, thanks to coordinated efforts by antiterrorism units on both sides of the Atlantic, we were able together to disrupt and prosecute plots to commit attacks in both the United States and the U.K. Another recent example involves the sentencing last September of British arms dealer Hemant Lakhani to 47 years in prison for attempting to arrange the sale of shoulder-fired missiles in New Jersey. New Scotland Yard and the Russian Federal Security Service were critical to the success of this investigation, and representatives of both services testified at trial. You will also recall the case of Richard Reid, the so-called "shoe bomber" who sought to blow up a transatlantic commercial flight. His plot was foiled by an astute flight attendant who saw him trying to light a match and ignite a fuse protruding from his shoe. After a fight, Reid was subdued and he was eventually prosecuted and sentenced to life in prison in the United States. What has received perhaps less attention is that Reid had a co-conspirator here in the U.K., Saajid Badat, who was uncovered thanks to the cooperation between our two countries. U.K. authorities arrested and convicted Badat after finding in his possession bomb components virtually identical to those Reid attempted to use. After his arrest, Badat admitted to police that, like Reid, he'd been asked to act as a shoe bomber. These are just a few examples of the string of antiterrorism successes we've achieved through criminal justice cooperation in recent years thanks to far greater coordination between our law enforcement agencies. There are many more like them. Our efforts at working together to uncover and foil terror plots through the criminal justice system has taken many forms and occurred at every level of our respective governments. We have posted to our Embassy here FBI attaches and a liaison federal prosecutor from the Department of Justice to aid in terrorism investigations and prosecutions. The UK, in turn, has posted similar liaison officers to Washington. I personally have met with the Home Secretary on three occasions within the last year, and I look forward to another such meeting at the EU Justice Ministerial later this spring. We have also signed many important agreements, foremost of which is a new extradition treaty – and I am hopeful that the United States will be in a position to ratify this treaty soon. We have also concluded new extradition and mutual legal assistance treaties between the European Union and the United States – the first ever treaties between the US and the EU. These treaties and others like them now being negotiated and implemented in the terrorism arena will ensure even greater coordination in combating the terror threat we all face.
II. Challenges While our recent advances in the fight against terrorism have been profound and all-too-often unsung, I am not here to deny that some points of tension have also arisen in our trans-Atlantic relationship. But, while we may take somewhat different approaches in the struggle against terrorism, we should not overlook the fact that we share a common objective and a common threat. The truth is that our enemy rejects as immaterial and even corrosive some of the most basic values both you and we hold dear. Values like the freedom of expression. The freedom of worship. The belief in the equality and inviolability of all human beings – regardless of gender, or race, or creed. This enemy's war is not just with America, or the United Kingdom. All freedom-loving people have a stake in this struggle. We should not permit our own healthy debate over approaches to this conflict to divert us from our shared objectives, or to disrupt our vital alliance in pursuing them. Just weeks ago, Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, emerged from hiding to describe new threats against both Europe and America, promising that attacks are being planned. Zawahiri went so far as to predict that we all face a future – quote – "colored by blood, the smoke of explosions, and the shadows of terror." And certainly the recent bombings here in London, as well as those in Bali, Spain, Jordan and elsewhere, belie any notion that we can dismiss such threats as empty rhetoric or write off terrorism as the problem of America or the UK alone. The convictions of the Yarkas group in Spain, the Beghal convictions in France, and the Badat prosecution here in the U.K. also underscore that the threat remains very real and worldwide. And, of course, we should remember that al Qaeda patiently waited eight years between its attacks on the World Trade Center, planning, training, and calculating death and destruction on such a massive scale. Citizens from more than 90 countries died on September 11, including some 67 Britons. Whether you accept that we are actually at war with terrorists worldwide, I hope you can appreciate our view that the United States is engaged in an armed conflict with al Qaeda – and that we are going to continue to use all available tools, including the traditional incidents of waging war, to defeat this enemy. I understand that our characterization of a "global war against terrorism" has raised some questions here in Europe: for example, does the United States really believe it is engaged in a state of war against all terrorists in all places? To these questions, I should explain what we mean when we use this phrase. On a political level, we believe that all countries must exercise the utmost resolve in defeating the global threat posed by transnational terrorism. On a legal level, we believe that the United States is engaged in an armed conflict with al Qaeda. They have attacked our embassies, our military vessels and military bases, our capital city, and our financial
center. On September 11th, they killed nearly three thousand people and the UN and NATO quickly passed resolutions acknowledging the right of the United States to self defense. It is appropriate and lawful to use all available tools, including our military forces, to defeat this brutal enemy. Some say that in pursuing the war on terror America has failed to respect human rights and the rule of law. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dealing with captured terrorists is a difficult challenge in this very different kind of war and we are constantly working to improve our detainee policies and procedures. But the United States, together with our European allies, has always been, and remains, a great defender of human rights; and the rule of law is an essential element of all of our democracies. We recognize that our military base at Guantanamo Bay has been a matter of particular concern in the UK and Europe. But not all of the facts about Guantanamo seem to be widely known. There are currently about 500 detainees there, including highly dangerous people – terrorist trainers, bomb makers, terrorist financiers, body guards for Osama bin Laden, and potential suicide bombers. The U.S. military has designed specific processes to ensure that we continue to detain only those who are dangerous enemy combatants. Indeed, the military screened more than 10,000 people in Afghanistan alone and determined only a very small fraction merited detention at Guantanamo. Even so, the United States Congress and the President have recognized the unusual nature of this conflict and, the wartime context notwithstanding, have provided additional and unprecedented legal protections to Guantanamo detainees – protections that seem to have received scant attention abroad. First, each detainee is provided not just the traditional assessment of his status by commanders in the field. He is also afforded a subsequent formal hearing before a separate, three member military tribunal to determine whether he is properly being detained as an enemy combatant. Then, if the detainee objects to the tribunal's conclusion, he may appeal to a civilian federal Court of Appeals and thereafter to the United States Supreme Court. In addition, every detainee is afforded an annual administrative review to determine whether he should be released – a process very much like a prison parole hearing. We are aware of no other nation in history that has afforded procedural protections like these to enemy combatants – including allowing access to civilian courts for those captured on the battlefield. In point of fact, more than 265 detainees have already been transferred out of Guantanamo Bay. Unfortunately, despite assurances from those released, the Department of Defense reports that at least 15 have returned to the fight and been recaptured or killed on the battlefield. As to conditions at Guantanamo Bay, detainees are permitted access to state-of-theart medical care, healthy meals consistent with their cultural and religious requirements, and opportunities to observe their religious beliefs. Now, I am
familiar with many allegations of torture, or cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment by US officials, both at Guantanamo and elsewhere. But on this point, let me be absolutely clear: The United States abhors torture and categorically rejects its use, as a matter of policy, as a matter of international obligations, and as a matter of US law. Likewise, US law forbids cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of detainees as defined by U.S. obligations under the Convention Against Torture, whether in the United States or abroad, whether at the hands of military or civilian personnel. When violations do occur, as they have, we investigate any credible allegation – and those found to have committed infractions are disciplined. Unlike our enemies who torture and decapitate innocent human beings to make their point, we are committed to rooting out and denouncing the mistreatment of human beings – even when it is committed by our soldiers against enemy combatants. The virtue of the rule of law is not that it eliminates all human flaws; rather, laws expose flaws, and address them justly. Our Congress recently passed and the President signed the Detainee Treatment Act, which included the well-known McCain Amendment. Contrary to press accounts, however, the McCain Amendment did not prohibit torture. Our federal criminal laws have long done that. Instead, the McCain Amendment codified in U.S. law the prohibition against cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment contained in the Convention Against Torture, making clear that the prohibition applies to the treatment of all detainees under U.S. control anywhere in the world. In the context of renditions – another matter that has raised particular concern in the UK and Europe – US policy is also clear. We do not transport anyone to a country if we believe it more likely than not that the individual will be tortured; and we seek assurances, where appropriate, that transferred persons will not be tortured. We do not use the airports or air space of any country in Europe or anywhere in the world for the purpose of transporting a detainee to a country where he will be tortured. III. Opportunities As I emphasized at the start of my presentation, I recognize that these issues are complex and challenging. The United States remains committed, though, to engaging in an open dialogue with our European partners about these issues and to work together to achieve our vital objectives. Indeed, there remains much we must do together if we are to succeed in our struggle against terrorism. I am convinced, for instance, that we can learn a great deal from one another by comparing how our different legal systems and cultures approach similar terror-related issues. At the same time, of course, we must recognize that our societies, while both firmly committed to the rule of law, will never be identical. Under European legal systems, you have tools at your disposal for combating terrorism that are not available in our criminal justice system; and, of course, the contrary is sometimes true as well.
Take, for example, the issue of electronic surveillance, which has come to the fore in the current debate over the U.S.'s terrorist surveillance program. Critics have expressed concern about civil liberties and privacy interests. As I have stated many times, the program is both fully constitutional and fully protective of civil liberties. And while such issues must be resolved under our own Constitution and laws, it is noteworthy that the practice of obtaining electronic surveillance without a judicial warrant has long been accepted in Europe as something that can be accomplished with proper respect for liberty and privacy interests. France, for example, allows public prosecutors to order wiretapping without judicial warrant if they believe doing so would be useful for determining whether a terrorist offense has occurred. Here in the UK, the Home Secretary has the same power, subject to careful checks. In a different vein, European countries have adopted an array of different preventive detention regimes not available in the United States. A French investigative judge may, for example, order an individual to be detained for as long as four years prior to trial if the judge has serious reason to believe the suspect participated in a major terrorist offense. German law makes membership in a foreign terrorist organization a crime and provides for the expulsion of non-citizens who engage in "hatepreaching" associated with terrorism. And here in Britain there is a lively ongoing debate over the length of time the government may hold terrorism suspects in order to gather evidence before making a charging decision. Meanwhile, prosecutors in the United States are far more constrained in this area – they may, for example, hold even those suspected of imminent deadly attacks only for hours or perhaps over a weekend (if a magistrate is not available) before charges must be brought or the suspect released. Now, to be clear, I am not advocating that America adopt a European model or vice versa. Instead, I seek merely to point out that we are all engaged in a difficult and ongoing dialogue over how to balance the civil liberties we all cherish with the need to protect against a secretive and unconventional enemy operating within our own societies. How to manage all this consistent with our unique cultures and legal norms is a difficult but necessary dialogue for us all. One area in which we clearly must do more to learn from each other involves the sharing of data regarding terror suspects. A central challenge faced by all our countries is how to ensure that data is gathered and shared in ways that maximize the safety of our citizens without endangering their legitimate privacy interests. In Europe, the EU Commission has advanced the "principle of availability" to encourage data sharing among EU countries for criminal justice purposes. Significantly, this principle would permit the sharing not only of traditional criminal justice information, but also fingerprint, DNA, and border control data. But there is a danger to be avoided here. Some contemplate erecting barriers against sharing data with partners outside the EU if their privacy systems do not precisely match the EU's. Yet some of these privacy systems, while not identical to the EU's, aim at very much the same result. The U.S., for instance, recognizes a right of
privacy. While we implement that right in a different fashion than the EU, the core principles and protections remain the same. It is for this reason that we have been able to partner in data sharing arrangements with Europol and to work with the EU to fashion data protection provisions for the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention. It would be a great loss to both the US and Europe if we were not able to do the same thing in the terrorism context. Neither side can afford to erect new walls that preclude us from sharing critical information about terror suspects. Closing In closing, I want to remind you that during the dark days of the Cold War many wondered whether the interests of Europe and the United States would remain aligned in confronting the Soviet Union. On a visit to the United States, Churchill addressed this issue head on, giving an impassioned plea for resolve and unity among our peoples. He reminded us that – quote – "our difficulties and dangers will not be removed by closing our eyes to them. They will not be removed by mere waiting to see what happens; nor will they be removed by a policy of appeasement." Instead, Churchill predicted that, in his words, only by joining Europe and America's "moral and material forces and convictions" will the "high-roads of the future be clear not only for us but for all." Churchill was right then; his words remain equally right today. As Prime Minister Blair has eloquently explained, our interests today are inextricably intertwined; interdependence defines the new world we live in. And so it is imperative that we remain united and resolute in our common struggle. And for that to happen, it is important that we continue to have opportunities such as this – opportunities to talk and listen, to enhance mutual understanding and work through our difficulties, and to reaffirm our common bonds. Thank you very much for your steadfast friendship in these challenging times and thank you again for the opportunity to speak with you today. ###

Wet rear footwell
Pogo replied to eggsy's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubSounds stupid, but does your rear washer work? If not how long has it stopped working for? It could be that if it isn't working and you keep operating the switch to try to get it to work, it could be leaking from the connector in the roof panel and seeping down to the carpet.
glow light flashing
Pogo replied to Cooky's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubI can agree with Eggsy, I cleaned mine out just before the cold set in, cleaned the black intake manifold too and made loads of difference. Messy, but a reasonably quick and easy job to do.
Mondeo 2.0 TDCI...
Pogo replied to Wozski's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubFord is probably cheaper on parts and servicing costs, but the build quality of a VW is probably slightly better. I have a 6 speed TDCI 130 Mondeo and it goes and handles really well, and is very quiet on the motorways with a 6 speed 'box
Embarrassed to ask...but need help
Pogo replied to InstructorPiggy's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubHave you checked the glow plugs are definately working? Could be a faulty relay?
Replacement for Pirelli P6000 Tyre (MK3 Mondeo)
Pogo replied to cholyo's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubI'm running 18" Kuhmo's on my alloys. They're a really good all round tyre and pretty cheap too.
Anti Roll Bar Drop links
Pogo replied to maslin4863's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubI had a knocking on the back end of my 03 mondeo tdci. It took very little time to change one of the link arms, but I also uprated the subframe suspension bushes to poly ones. This stopped all the noises at the back end, and there is no real difference in ride comfort, but they'll last loads longer.
Granada blowing its coolant
Pogo posted a topic in General Ford Related DiscussionsHi, I'm replacing the headgasket on my 1993 granada 2.0 DOHC, as the coolant is over pressuring in the header tank. I was wondering if there is a bimetallic strip in the heater that only allows water/coolant to flow through when the engine is warm or is it more likely to be blocked. I know it isn't passing through as I checked the temps of the inlet and outlet by touch and the outlet was still cold. Also I've tried to blow through the pipework and had nothing come out either. So is it a new matrix or is there a heat controlled valve? Cheers
Hi, Thanks for the help, I'll give it a try.
I tested this with a multi meter and when I operated the key it quickly flicked to 12v, but I've no idea how long its supposed to stay for or if the flick of the voltage is enough to operate the door lock mechanism
Done all that, motor doesn't move when I operate remote or the drivers door lock.
poor radio reception
Pogo replied to GrahamH's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubIf you wanted to change the head unit there are 2 routes you can take. 1. Replace the ford unit with whats called a double din unit, its the same size as a ford stereo. or 2. Fit a standard size head unit using a fascia plate that reduces the size old the stereo hole to a single din. Halfords will give you an idea of what to look for, although you may find better deals online
Mondeo Mk 3 Central Locking
Pogo posted a topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubHi, After some help or advice. I have a MK3 mondeo and the central locking has stopped working on the left hand rear door. Is this a common fault? Is it likely to be the door itself or the drivers door as I know this controls the whole system. Cheers for any help given
Headlight/side bulb replacement
Pogo replied to pmmcbl's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubI change plenty of headlights and bulbs on modern cars in my job and the Mondoe headlight is probably the easiest of the lot. Admittedly it isn't as easy as sticking you hand behind the light fitting and changing the bulb, but recent cars have better front end protection these days, not to mention aircon, inter coolers and all other mod cons, lol
Mk3 Air Con
Pogo replied to Pogo's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubIts the digtal system, so should only come on when the a/c button is on, but mine is still running with the button off
coolant fan
Pogo replied to togos's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubThe easiest way to check if the relay is faulty is to swap it with a similar one inside fuse/relay box. It does sound like a relay fault, altough it may be worth finding the temperature sensor and use a wire to bridge the connection there, that would tell you whether the relay was a fault as the fans should start up if the relay is ok. If they do start then the fault is likely to be the temperature sensor. Hope this may help Pogo
