Wonder if anyone can help?
Noticed today on my 57 plate ranger that the blue main beam warning light has stopped working along with the sidelights warning light on the dash.
The side lights work fine and lights on reminder still works with keys out and main beam flashes and switches fine.
Could it be just bulbs?
Strange two have gone at the same time.
Does anyone have a wiring diagram?
Has anyone else had this problem?

So glad that I missed Coachella this year and ended up at Sasquatch Music Festival. If you have never heard of Sasqutach, it's an annual four-day music festival held at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington. With similar genres of music to Coachella, this year's lineup was amazing, just to highlight a few: Santigold, tUnE-yArDs (MUST CHECK OUT), Beardyman, Apparat, Tycho, Pretty Lights, The Shins, Beirut, Metric…
Besides checking out new music and some of my favorite bands, going to music festivals also becomes a great opportunity to showcase your personal style. Sasquatch had some amazing festival-inspired outfits! I curated a selection of different fashion essentials and I hope you find them helpful. What you can expect to see is a little bit of everything from trendy or vintage to hippie or dayglo. Before going to the music festival, the first thing people usually do is figure say "What The H*ll Should I Wear!?" Dressing up at music festival becomes a fun part aside from checking out the bands and hanging out with friends. Yes, you're there for another reason – people watching! It was so much fun!
Not all festival-goers like to dress up super fancy. If you are one of those people, below are some tips for you.
Be creative with what you have. During the event, one of the sponsors Kokanee beer was giving away free bandanas and festival beaded necklaces. As you can see in picture #1, the girl who was in a black tank top and blue jeans, by adding a pair of suspenders, a Kokanee bandana and necklace, you can look stylish and festival-spirited. Or you can wear something like the girl in picture #2 who's in a fringe shirt with beaded tassels. As long as you have a pair of scissors, you can cut off the bottom shirt hem and the sleeve hems then tie them into little knots. Here you go, hippie fringe 70′s style can never go wrong.
Prepare for the cold and grassy ground.
Even though the weather was nice during the day, it can get chilly when the sun goes down. If you head out around 4pm and plan to stay the whole night, you may want to bring an extra jacket or outwear. It could take 15-20 minutes to walk to get back to the camp site which you don't want to do because you may end up missing some shows and too tiring. Also, wearing pants, you will appreciate it so much when you sit down on the ground if you don't have a blanket, because the grasses will poke your legs like needles. (ouch, ouch, ouch!). If you wear shorts/skirt, bring a blanket so you can sit on the ground. Check out picture #3 & #4 for outwear style.
#3: From top to bottom: Leather and shell headband, layers of yellow glass beads and stones necklace, black Bikini top, a white/prints sweater, a pair of abstract mixed prints jeans, dark blue leg warmers, and a pair of brown moccasins.
#4: A pair of sun glasses, brown and white sweater, neon color beaded necklace, and a brown stripes blanket.
Tips #3: Think Bright/Fluorescent
During your whole time there, I guarantee you will run into someone who wears bright/fluorescent colors. It's the time to start the party. By having bright and fluorescent colors during the day time especially helps cheer up the atmosphere and remind us the night time party neon light feeling. Not to mention that by wearing these colors will give you high visibility and makes it easy for your friends to spot you in the sea of people.
#5 A brown straw hat, grey shirt, blue jeans, a pair of mineral washed color skinnies, and a Cambridge Satchel neon leather bag in fluorescent yellow.
#6 White top tee, blue ripped denim miniskirts, and a double folded hot pink scarf, with silver and black beaded bracelets.
#7 Fluorescent chartreuse (halfway between yellow and green) tank, and 70s inspired black skirt with beading bottom tassels.
Besides the bright colors, another most often seen pattern is vintage fashion. Vintage fashion gives you a wide variety of options, you can go from 1900s Gibson Girl and Post-Edwardian, to 1920s Flapper girls, 40s Pin-up girls, 1950s New Look, or 60s-70s Hippie/Boho. As you can see in pictures:
#8 Pin-up girls in red and black
#9 Charleston 1920s flapper girls
#10 Alternative (girl on the left) and Boho hippie style (guy on the right)
Instead of dressing up by yourself, it would be way more fun to dress up with your friends assuming you come with a big group of people. During the music fest, I ran into two interesting big groups: #11 Business Attire and #12 Slutty Seniors. What they are doing is being funny at the same time trying to confuse people.
Picture #11: Why would people ever want to dress in business attires and going to the festival, that's the last thing you would expect to see here? However, they did it. They highlight of this picture is the old big cell phone in the guy's hand which we haven't seen for ages.
Picture #12: I came across this group by walking down the main path through the festival grounds. The senior citizen from the far left approached me with a map and asked, "Excuse me, do you know how to get to … from here?" and pointed to the map. LOL. Yes, it's a trap. However, one thing I don't understand is why they called themselves slutty seniors – they don't really look slutty, do they!?
Tips #6 Dress anything you want!
See picture #13, 14 and 15 are some of my fashion styles at Sasquatch.
#13 Headband, Layered black net yellow amber dress, and crystal bow belt – with gold star hat (just kidding – it was a display at a booth!)
#14 Spring/Summer white with green print long skirt and simply white vest top and bright red braid scarf and colorful bracelets
#15 Sasquatch spirited toes!
Above are my take-aways from Sasquatch fashion. What do you think? Which one is your favorite fashion style at Sasquatch? Leave your answer in the comments and let me know.
Did you know:
The second largest attendees of Sasquatch besides American are Canadian. You surely have some chance to make some Canadian friends there.
Once you settle down, they won't allow driving out of the campsite to get more supplies, so prepare with the right amount or else you will end up paying over priced food and drinks .
It appears that Tycho (one of the bands I saw) was partying a few tents next to us on Saturday night. You can run into the bands anytime. You never know.

Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel.

Yemen ministry advisor shot dead |
2012-10-17 |
[Bangla Daily Star] Unidentified gunnies rubbed out a military adviser to Yemen's defence ministry, an Iraqi national, in central Sanaa yesterday, a security official said. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said the victim, Khaled Hatem al-Hashemi was killed when "two gunnies on a cycle of violence" fired "two bullets" into his head as they drove past him. It is believed that many Iraqi military officers who served under Saddam Hussein fled to Yemen after the fall of his regime and took jobs as military and defence advisers to the Yemeni government. So far, no one has grabbed credit for the killing but al-Qaeda has been blamed for a spate of attacks on Yemeni security officials, both in the capital and throughout the country. |

"Alasdair is another great signing for us," said Steve Diamond, Sale's executive director of sport.
"He has a very high work-rate and is a good scrummager. He will perfectly with what we are trying to achieve at the club."
Sale's 21-year-old centre Jonny Kennedy, though, has announced his retirement from the game after suffering a series of concussions.
Diamond added: "We are really disappointed for Jonny as he had fought his way back from a knee injury and was hitting form.
"His games in January saw him score three tries in three games, which deservedly won him the club's player of the month award.
"It's sad when a young player like Jonny has to leave the sport, but his health is more important and he has made the correct decision."
Kennedy, the son of Sale's millionaire owner Brian Kennedy, won under-20 international honours with Scotland.

It's a mystery why Blayne Beacham's monthly water bill has more than tripled in cost since July of 2011. Neither she, nor her Atlanta-area water company can pinpoint a reason for the unexpected increase. The realtor, who lives alone in a small three-bedroom home, has tried to appeal the bill at least twice but with no avail. As last fall and winter came and went, the tally reached nearly $800. Her meter was inspected by the district and a certified plumber inspected the property and found no leaks.
"This is absolutely absurd," she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I have no way of proving I did not get a leak fixed, because I did not have a leak. I expressed my frustration and asked if I could please just get a new meter." She was told no, Beacham said.
"Last night I opened my mailbox and got a bill for $9,224.40 — $2,638.68 worth of past charges, and $6,705.72 worth of new charges," she said. "The thing that is so frustrating is that if I had a leak, and if I had gotten it fixed, how would my bill be this high?"
The water department has decided to install a data logger on her meter which will measure hour-by-hour usage. The meter must run for 30 days to track her usage, meaning Beacham must wait until mid-July for answers. She has hired a lawyer and is awaiting her court date.
The operations manager at American Leak Detection of Atlanta has contacted Beacham to offer her a full home leak detection audit free of charge. We will keep you posted on the eventual outcome.

'Italy's best kept secret', so they say. And here's us thinking that Italy's best kept secret was why on earth Bud Spencer and Terence Hill films are so popular. Another story.
It's not unusual to see comments along the lines of 'Oh yes, Le Marche - like Tuscany was twenty or thirty years ago' and suchlike. The region of Le Marche - The Marches - is indeed a fascinating one, rich with glorious countryside and splendid architecture, and yet it does remain very much undiscovered in terms of tourism.
No bad thing, of course - emptier roads and beaches, quieter countryside and less packed restaurants, and prices that compare extremely well with other and better known regions.
There are numerous seaside resorts, some truly monumental castles, dozens of fascinating hilltop towns and villages, skiing and health spas and some beautiful natural scenery.

A sophisticated and entertaining debut novel about an irresistible young woman with outsized dreams.
About the Author
Amor Towles was born and raised just outside Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated from Yale University and received an MA in English from Stanford University, where he was a Scowcroft Fellow. He is a Principal at an investment firm in Manhattan, where he lives with his wife and two children.
Praise for Rules of Civility…
Praise for Rules of Civility
"An irresistible and astonishingly assured debut about working class-women and world-weary WASPs in 1930s New York…in the crisp, noirish prose of the era, Towles portrays complex relationships in a city that is at once melting pot and elitist enclave – and a thoroughly modern heroine who fearlessly claims her place in it." —O, the Oprah Magazine
"With this snappy period piece, Towles resurrects the cinematic black-and-white Manhattan of the golden age…[his] characters are youthful Americans in tricky times, trying to create authentic lives." —The New York Times Book Review
"This very good first novel about striving and surviving in Depression-era Manhattan deserves attention…The great strength of Rules of Civility is in the sharp, sure-handed evocation of Manhattan in the late '30s." —Wall Street Journal
"Put on some Billie Holiday, pour a dry martini and immerse yourself in the eventful life of Katey Kontent…[Towles] clearly knows the privileged world he's writing about, as well as the vivid, sometimes reckless characters who inhabit it." —People
"[A] wonderful debut novel…Towles [plays] with some of the great themes of love and class, luck and fated encounters that animated Wharton's novels." —The Chicago Tribune
"Glittering…filled with snappy dialogue, sharp observations and an array of terrifically drawn characters…Towles writes with grace and verve about the mores and manners of a society on the cusp of radical change." —NPR.org
"Glamorous Gotham in one to relish…a book that enchants on first reading and only improves on the second." —The Philadelphia Inquirer

These were delish and the bacon on top evens them out perfectly. I couldn't for the life of me find any phyllo tart shells, so I used a flat phyllo sheet and then cut these into small squares later on.

What's happening
Welcome to ballet to all students!
A helpful guide to our classes
Tiny Tots Classes (3 – 5 years) Fun, Fun, Fun is the aim of the Tiny Tots classes! Our classes contain steps little children know and enjoy. As well as Hi-5, Bananas in Pyjamas and nursery rhymes we have skipping, marching and running and include exercise for the hands and feet to incorporate basic ballet technique. Children start to develop their imagination with the creative use of movement.
Recreational classes – all levels Students can participate in all classes/levels for recreation developing fitness, a love of movement and an appreciation of all other art forms, especially music.
Pre-Primary/Primary (6 – 8 years) Ballet technique (gently introduced at a basic level) with the emphasis on creativity and imagination. Students start to gain muscle strength, flexibility and coordination. Students may participate in exams and medals.
Grades 1 to 6 Students develop an artistic and spatial awareness with good listening skills and critical thinking. As they get older students develop a sense of self discipline. Students wishing to sit exams should be studying dance for at least 2 ½ hours per week.
Seniors (Intermediate, Advanced 1 and Advanced 2) Students participating in examinations at this level are considered professional vocational dancers/teachers
Age recommendations are approximate. Please do not hesitate to contact Miss Gowers to discuss the best class for your child.
We are continuing to work out who goes where for all our classes and I thank you for your patience. Please call me on 9399 2473 if you wish to discuss any aspect of the ballet school. Thank you once again for all the lovely gifts and flowers for the concert and for Christmas.

The chairman of the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee, backed by a national coalition that ranges from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to the Gloucester Fishermen's Wives Association, is urging a shutoff to all funding geared toward implementation of a National Ocean Policy created by an executive order signed by President Obama, rather than congressional action.
Chairman Doc Hastings, R-Washington, has asked the House Appropriations Committee to freeze spending on the administration initiative, a piece of legislation has been perennially failed to launch.
Hastings and his committee have dogged the White House over its 2010 decision to create a National Ocean Policy without the consent of Congress and has presided over numerous hearings on the executive order which anticipates creation of a super bureaucracy to administer "marine spatial planning" — or "ocean zoning," as Hastings and critics of the concept prefer.
The White House has rejected the characterization, and Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey, the ranking Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee, scoffed at the idea of objecting to "ocean planning," asserting at a hearing last year that doing so was akin to opposing air traffic control.
But others disagree sharply, from Gloucester to the nation's capital and far beyond.
Angela Sanfilippo, president of the Gloucester Fishermen's Wives Association, said the policy was written without any input from or consideration for fishermen, leading to the worry that the industry would end up further marginalized.
"One more time, (from the) top down," said Sanfilippo. "I'm tired of it."
In an April 2 letter to Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, Hastings raised concerns about executive overreach, stultifying bureaucracy and job loss due to uncertainty about access to resources in the seas and far up into the nation's river systems, anticipated by the White House ocean policy.
A letter sent to Rogers Thursday in support of Hastings' request by a coalition of more than 80 groups across various economic sectors — mining, oil, recreational and commercial fishing, farming, ranching as well as commerce in general — cited "the risk of unintended economic and societal consequences remains high, due in part to the unprecedented geographic scale."
"The National Ocean Policy is just like catch shares in that it was done around rather than through Congress," said Jim Kendall of the New Bedford Seafood Coalition.
Hastings said that, despite repeated requests, Nancy Sutley — who heads the Obama White House's Council on Economic Quality and co-chairs the National Ocean Council, which wrote the policy — has failed to explain the source or anticipated need for implementation financing.
"The administration's efforts to impose this policy across the nation and mandate ocean zoning should be put on pause until the full economic consequences are known and direct answers are given on the specific statutory authority that justifies the construction of this new, regulatory behemoth," Hastings wrote to Rogers. "I respectfully request that the Appropriations Committee include language in each fiscal year 2013 appropriations bill prohibiting the use of funds to implement this National Ocean Policy."
Hastings' request to slice down budgets that might be used to implement the Obama oceans plan comes with the House returning today from spring recess and needing to cut many billions from the budget to negate automatic across-the-board cuts written into a compromise forged last year by a special budget committee.
Marine spatial planning is one of a handful of concepts — including marine protected areas — developed by NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco and her former colleagues at Environmental Defense Fund and other nonprofits fueled by philanthropic and industrial foundation funding.
EDF — whose 2005 plan for gaining functional control of the oceans was obtained by the Times in 2009 — has begun ramping up its staff assigned to marine spatial planning in New England and the Pacific coasts.
An internal memo by Jake Kritzer, EDF's director of spatial initiatives for the Oceans Program, announcing a job search for a spatial policy analyst to work on "groundfish closed areas" on both coasts, was obtained by the Times this week.
"The focus might evolve to other geographies through time," wrote Kritzer, who also serves on the New England Fishery Management Council's Science and Statistical Committee.
In the 1990s, Lubchenco did pioneering work on marine spatial planning, and began promoting catch shares and marine protected areas. Using disputed scientific theories — including one that predicted that overfishing would leave the ocean to nothing but jellyfish — Lubchenco and colleagues wrote a political policy manifesto for President-elect Obama urging the spread of catch shares across the nation's fisheries, then accepted his offer to join the administration.
In the second half of George W. Bush's presidency, she and an EDF protoge, David Festa, wrote a piece declaring Bush "the Blue President" after he used the Antiquities Act, in conjuction with work by the Pew Environment Group, to create three marine-protected areas around the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas in the western Pacific.
Residents of the westernmost U.S. territories complained to the Times that the government was acting with colonial arrogance treating residents like subject peoples. And two San Francisco lawyers, James P. Walsh and Gwen Fanger, writing in an American Bar Association newsletter, argued that Bush had misused the law and acted in a manner of dubious constitutionality.

Location: Residue Chemistry and Predictive Microbiology
Technical Abstract: We assessed the heat resistance of Salmonella in raw ground beef in both the absence and presence of sodium lactate or oregano oil, and with combinations of these two GRAS-listed ingredients, and determined their bactericidal or bacteriostatic activities during post-thermal treatment storage at 15C. A cocktail of 8 strains of Salmonella spp. was inoculated into ground beef supplemented with sodium lactate (NaL) (1.5% and 3.0%) and/or oregano oil (0.5% and 1.0%) to obtain approximately 8.0 log CFU/g. The ground beef samples (3 g) were vacuum-packed and heated at 60, 65, or 71C in a circulating water bath for selected times to inactivate approximately 5.0 – 6.0 log CFU/g of the pathogen, and then stored at 15C for 15 d and 30 d. Results show that especially at the lower cooking temperatures, addition of oregano oil increased the inactivation rate of Salmonella spp., whereas addition of NaL alone exhibited a protective effect against lethality and decreased the rate compared to the control. Addition of combinations of oregano oil and NaL overcame this protective effect. During subsequent post-treatment storage for 15 d, Salmonella populations in the controls and in samples containing 0.5% oregano (60 and 65C) or 1% oregano oil (60C) increased to 4.5-6.0 log CFU/g. The values for all other samples were at or near undetectable levels. Results from the 30-d storage study were similar. These findings indicate that lactate and oregano may be used to render Salmonella spp. more susceptible to the lethal effect of heat and to inhibit growth of Salmonella spp. that survive heat treatments.

Japanese youngsters sing their hearts out
10:30pm Wednesday 6th March 2013 in News
JAPANESE students learnt about Worcester's history when they visited the Guildhall as part of a cultural visit to the city.
A group of students from Rikkyo University, Tokyo, came to Worcester to stage a Christian concert at St Martin's Church in London Road. Forty of them impressed the congregation by performing a series of spirituals – songs created by enslaved African people in the United States.
During the trip they also toured the Guildhall and spent time with the Mayor of Worcester Councillor Roger Berry. He said: "They were an extremely impressive group and it was a pleasure to have them in Worcester.
"Obviously, they were very interested in the city's history and the high spot of their trip was the musical renditions."

JPS launches massive anti-theft drive in Western Jamaica
Utility company talks tough
BY HORACE HINES Observer West reporter
Thursday, January 31, 2013
MONTEGO BAY, St James — FACED with revenue losses amounting to more than US$24 million in western Jamaica last year, due to electricity theft, the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) Region West yesterday launched a massive anti-theft campaign in targeted St James communities. The drive is expected to spread across other western parishes soon.
Yesterday's operation commenced in the Hart Street section of the city where a number of the JPS's technical staff, who were accompanied by members of the security forces, swooped down on several premises in a bid to unearth illegal connections and instances of meter tampering.
During the drive in the densely populated Hart Street area a total of seven meters were removed and 10 illegal service wires disconnected.
The team then rolled into the nearby Railway Lane where they removed five meters and 23 illegal connections.
JPS Region West, which encompasses the parishes of St Ann, Trelawny, St James, Hanover and Westmoreland, reportedly recorded approximately 20 per cent in lost revenue during 2012, which amounts to roughly US$2 million per month in losses for the company.
The anti-electricity theft drive forms part of the light and power company's islandwide campaign dubbed "Take Back JPS", geared towards mitigating revenue losses.
"So we are on a campaign where we are going to be taking back our business. But it is not that we are taking back JPS, we are taking back Jamaica, too. While we are taking back JPS and Jamaica, legitimate businesses can compete with other businesses who are stealing from us," JPS' Western Regional Director Blaine Jarrett told the Observer West.
He noted that based on data collected by JPS personnel, a number of communities have been identified as having a heavy concentration of electricity theft. These areas, Jarrett said, will be among the first to be tackled during the anti-theft drive, even as opportunities will be extended to illegal electricity users to make arrangements to settle outstanding payments.
"We have identified certain areas where we need to attack first, so we will be sending a strong signal, but the important thing is that we are saying to our customers, if you know that you are stealing, come in and talk to us," Jarrett explained.
According to T'Shura Gibbs, JPS parish manager for St James, over 50 per cent of customers who were disconnected for non-payment of bills, mostly in Montego Bay, between October last year and the middle of this month, have failed to come in and settle.
"Those customers who were disconnected have not come back on the grid but they have electricity and they don't have generators; they haven't got solar systems. It says that something is wrong and we are going out there and we are taking back our company and we are very serious about it," rued Gibbs.
"Persons are going to get arrested — it is not what we want, but it is what we have to resort to take back this company and deal with this crime of electricity theft because it is a crime and people don't see it as a crime."
Meanwhile, head of the Police Area One, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Devon Watkis has signalled the police's intention to get tough on those persons illegally extracting electricity from the light and power company.
"We are in discussion with JPS, to help them with their mandate. The police has a role to protect our investing stakeholders. We want to encourage the law-abiding citizens who may at this time be in arrears, to go in, speak to JPS because if they are caught stealing electricity we will be prepared to implement the law," ACP Watkis warned.
Meanwhile, the JPSCo's western regional director expressed that electricity thieves run right across the social spectrum.
"Just about every sector one can think of — commercial, residential, industrial — there is no sector within our business that is not stealing," Jarrett disclosed.
He said a myriad of methods are employed to illegally extract current from the power suppliers.
"Apart from direct connection, people tamper with our meters — not just our meters but people tamper with our method of collecting data. Generally we call it bypassing the meter," he explained.
Jarrett revealed that electricity theft is so widespread islandwide that in 2011 the company was forced to spend about US$30 million "specifically in the fight against losses" and a further US$17million in 2012.
"In fact, two years ago the company established an entire division just to fight losses. Which other company, which other business establishes a security division which engages a significant amount of their staff towards managing theft,?" he asked.
"We are not a security company; we are a utility company and our mandate as a utility company is to provide a reliable supply to our customers so that that our shareholders can have a reasonable return."

Facebook is social net works. I helps to communicate each other and with friend. Text, photos and videos also shared with each other. One can also promote his personal and business website through Facebook.
Yes facebook is one of best social media now playing a vital role in our SEO section.
Yes indeed Facebook is one of the most effective modes of promoting business and also chat with your friends. Mostly Facebook is used for these to purposes, but there are many factor which can be targeted on Facebook, Out of all the most frequently is that it gives an interface like Live Support Chat, which helps businesses a lot!
Hi,guys I am also agree with all . Face book is popular and strong social network . It also play many important event at any moment or rapidly . Thanks all for this .
Unfortunatly its not so simple.
The amount of times that I have been on a facebook group and seen so much spam is unreal, sadly alot of the things being advertised are most likely relivent to what i'm looking for, But because there is just so much of the stuff I glance over it without reading.
What you need to do is give relivant content but make it personal (building a relationship with the people on these social media sights). For example if you wanted to post something about weight loss, write a quick line saying who you are and what you are doing, then offer a link to say a blog that you have started, from here thats where you advertise the weight loss products, along with more relivant content. It works alot better than simply spamming the hell out of facebook, hoping for the best.
Also there is a bootcamp thats free that I recomend, I personally found it rearly useful as it is basicaly facebook marketing 101.
If you guys are interested at talking about this topic more drop me a line and we share more ideas.
The best way to define social media is to break it down. Media is an instrument on communication, like a newspaper or a radio, so social media would be a social instrument of communication.
Social media is a great techniques by which you can get more traffic and business for the website.
Social Sites are one of Best Weapon to use over WWW for Marketing Business and Makes Business Strong Presence .
I think it would be a website that doesn't just give you information, but interacts with you while giving you that information.
Here's why it doesn't!

Bio-Chem Fluidics' Flow Selection Valves Control Multiple Fluid Paths
Valves eliminate need for tubing sets to connect individual valves
Boonton, NJ (July 27, 2012) – Bio-Chem Valve™ Flow Selection Valves reduce the number of connections and potential leak points in flow mixing and selection for highly aggressive and high purity fluid applications. Flow Selection Valves combine multiple valve actuators into a single compact unit around a central block, allowing mixing or selection of any combination of between two and eight individual source streams.
Flow Selection Valves use a flexible diaphragm that isolates the solenoid actuator from the fluid path. All wetted parts are constructed from highly inert, non-metallic materials such as PTFE or PEEK. Flow Selection Valves are available in a range of orifice sizes from 0.032" to 0.125", and power ratings from two to eight watts.
Valves feature a radial manifold block, eliminating the differences in flow path length and timing found in linear manifolds. Each solenoid actuator is individually adjusted by the manufacturer to ensure equal flow rates at the same pressure.

Week 9 - The Panthers stated their intent in the preseason to turn Greg Olsen into the next Rob Gronkowski, but so far that plan hasn't materialized. In week 8 Olsen caught just 3 passes for 23 yards. The only reason Olsen remains a recommended low end TE1 is the poor all around play of TE's all around the NFL this season. We still hold out hope that Newton will start looking Olsen's way more often in the second half of the season.
Week 6 - Greg is on a bye week for week 6, hopefully him and Cam spend their time off getting to know each other a little better.
Week 5 - Olsen is sneaking up on TE1 territory after a big week which saw him catch 6 passes for 89 yards and a TD in week 4. The coaches for the Panthers said that Olsen could be the next Gronkowski this year, and if they keep targeting him like this he will become a must start option. For week 5 he is still a TE 2 with a tough matchup against the Seahawks D.
Week 4 - Olsen gets a touch matchup with one of 2012′s best defenses in the Atlanta Falcons for week 4. While there is a chance this is a high scoring game, Cam Newton hasn't inspired confidence throwing the ball yet, so Greg should be considered a TE2 until the Panthers can get things straightened out on offense.
Week 2 – Week 1 was a positive sign for Olsen, as he caught all 6 passes thrown his way to the tune of 56 yards. Assuming that Newton will continue to favor his big tight end, which the offensive coordinator hinted at in the preseason, Greg will continue to impress this year. As it stands now, Greg Olsen is still a TE2 in most formats, but he could have limited value in deeper formats as this game vs. the New Orleans Saints should turn into a high scoring shootout.
Week 1 – Greg Olsen, another one of our favorite sleepers this season, is only a recommended play in extremely deep formats. If you play in a 14 team league, he could see decent numbers against the Tampa Bay Bucs, but chances are you have a better option on your roster.
Preseason Analysis
Greg Olsen came over to the Carolina Panthers in 2011 after 4 full seasons in Chicago, the change of scenery did him little good, as he put up numbers that were pretty much on par with his career averages. Turns out that Jeremy Shockey was the main guy holding him back in 2011, as Olsen and Shockey combined for 82 catches and 995 yards last season. Now with Olsen the go-to guy, he could surprise fantasy owners everywhere and be the breakout talent at TE this season. Target Olsen as a late WR1 or early WR2 in all formats for 2012.

Armed robbery in Ladbroke's, Sandy
Two hammer wielding armed robbers stole cash from a betting shop yesterday evening (Monday, March 11).
The masked men entered Ladbroke's in Sandy High Street at 9.35pm while the female cashier, 22, was working alone.
Having said goodbye to the last regular customer she had gone to check the toilets before locking up.
At the same time the two white men entered shop. One propped the front door open while the other went straight to the till and removed some cash.
When the cashier spotted the robbers she ran out of the shop shouting for help. The men fled in the direction of Bedford Road and Budgens.
The robbers are described as two white men, one wearing a red coat and the other a black coat with scarves wrapped round their faces.

What to expect from a Republican House
AP Photo/Alex Brandon
Ohio Congressman John Boehner is expected to be the next Speaker of the House. A panel of journalists joins Diane to discuss the challenges he faces within the Republican party and the possibilities for compromise with the Obama Administration.

Washington bureau chief for USA Today.

What do you think about the new House Majority Whip, Eric Cantor's new YouCut website, where, first on the list of government programs he'd like to cut, is federal funding for NPR?
It was a pretty laughable site when I last checked it out yesterday. Are we really to believe the republicans suddenly care about responsible budgeting, just two years after a near decade of debt-generating tax rates and rampant spending under Bush? The NPR part was especially corny if you understand how little federal funding contributes to most individual stations or programs.
The YouCut site is nearly the definition of "manufactured consent" with the top ten ideas being chump-change red meat for the republican base - along with anything about defunding the deficit-reducing PPACA. If they wanted to get serious about fixing the books, they'd raise taxes progressively and cut defense first, then look for savings in SS and Medicare, THEN sort other programs by total cost and potential practical savings. Considering that it's the republican party, they will argue that defense spending is a sacred cow which should only grow, while Medicare and Social Security can't be touched in any way which might have an effect on today's seniors.
After those four main items (Taxes first, then Defense, then SS + Medicare), we can talk about federal public transit subsidy and AEITC and all the other small-time items they want to gut.
Realistically though, big-ticket and popular programs are off the table for the republicans, so expect any "fiscal responsibility" to come in the form of deregulation by a thousand funding cuts to our agencies and their enforcement arms. Whee - I can't wait for our toxic consumables, toxic toys, toxic rivers, and toxic work environments to return. It's been a couple of years and I was starting to miss them! Good thing you all might possibly shave $200B off the deficit this year, guys! Thumbs up!
The back and forth about the budget seems to be more about punishing the Democrats for their political philosophy than about actually arriving at a sensible budget. The Republican party has become the party of retribution, losing all right to being considered the party of respected conservatism. Republicans have also been, of course, the party of the big spenders.
I wish there were a way to have these discussions be less "inside the beltway." We are a country in which only 1/3 the population is college educated, where over 40% do not speak English as their first language, and where people's reality is around (these days) which bills they will pay and which they can postpone. Washington feels irrelevant. A "bring in change" vote is not a mandate for any policy, but a sign of frustration.
The party that controlled the white house and had a rubber stamp congress for 6 years gave us 2 wars and the worst financial crisis will do what now? So now all of a sudden they are for the people! Gimme a break. Everything that is done for... the people by the dems is considered "hateful social welfare" by these demogogues. Now they are for the people? Excuse me!
This election was not won by the people. It was won by big businesses and the US chamber of commerce and for the sole reason that they were afraid that they would have to be accountable for their shenanigans if the government started probing deeper into their affairs. They could have avoided this in the first place if they had been more forthcoming and respectful.
And for those who toot their horns against social welfare (granted that not all of it is good) can you explain why you are not against corporate welfare? What has corporations trickled down on you lately that you like so much? High prices? Low wages? Scandles? Coming begging for money from the feds after screwing up royally?
Also for everyone who thinks that Obama and dems screwed up. You need to lighten up a bit. Obama is a leader in times of one of the worst ever turmoil that US has seen. People make mistakes doing mundane things. Running a country US is not a joke especially when the sole purpose of the opposition is to see you fail regardless of what happens to the country.
Obama should stay his course and only make changes that are really needed and appropriate without buckling down to pressure from the media loudmouths and right wing failures.
Finally if anyone expects anything different from the right they are really misguided because the right is still run by the same failures. To name a few Karl Rowe, Tom Delay, Dick Armey... They will pander to big money at the expense of the people of the USA...
As an Independent, I personally don't expect anything from the republicans….for almost two years they've shown nothing but contempt for the President, the middle class and this country. Unfortunately their politics of race baiting and fear mongering seems to work on an ignorant proletariat. These people are not serious about dealing with the real problems confronting this country. As an Independent I can never vote for a party that want to turn America into a third world country..nor could I vote for a party that's too spineless to stand up against republicans.
We need real leadership to deal with real problems…..not their typical rhetoric
If the Democrats call the Republicans on the tax cuts by for the very wealthy by banning those wealthy from taking big chunks of their tax cuts and just lending it back to the government--so no govt bonds for those who who get big tax cuts--, will the Republicans give up this ploy?
Daniel from Washington, DC
The Bush Tax Cuts need to expire; immediately for the wealthiest 1%, a year later for the next tax bracket, and three or four years for the next tax brackets. How many Americans would agree to keeping the tax cuts for the top 1% with the knowledge that we will borrow trillions to make up for the loss of tax revenue for the wealthy. I am sickened that I will pay for the wealthiest to acquire more wealth at my expense. The Republican are more focused on getting rid of President Obama and taking care of the rich that they will bring down the rest of us. I did not vote for one Republican this year because of my local Republicans allowing women's health care to be cut while sustaining tax breaks for the rich. The Republicans lost my vote because of their war against our President and the middle class.

How about a strategic review of government like New Zealand did in the late 80's; as did Sweden and the UK back then and then in 2010.
We need to think what are the core competencies of the USA government like:
- social and healthcare safety nets with corporate insurance / retirement above the safety net
- Justice
- Education
- Safety and defense
Any other items like R&D, NPR, etc. may need to be transitioned over time (5 - 7 years).
Items like Defense needs to be drastically scaled back, and we need China, India, Brazil and other countries to take a bigger stake in the UN and other global organizations, whether we like those political realities.
The number of American's who don't speak English as a first language is not 40%. Also, this number is different from the number of American's who speak another language at home.
Here's another DR Show with not one mention of corporate responsibility to do their fair share to help their country. What I hear is every panelist talking about jobs, but never one talking about corporate responsibility to put patriotism ahead of profits and stop firing people. There is a backlash against both corporations that don't do their fair share and media that won't talk fairly. Republicans - don't want the government involved? Good - then time for corporate responsibility to take up the slack and help their country.
The number of Americans who don't speak English as a first language is not 40%. I'm not sure what the number is, but it's lower than 40%. Also, the statistic of "Americans who don't speak English as a first language" is different from the number of "Americans who speak another language at home."
My husband and I live outside of Rochester New York. The most we ever made, as a teacher and cabinetmaker, was about 72,000. Instead of trillions, could someone break the tax increases down with real life numbers? I would happily pay a dollar or 2/day to help pay the debt down--EVEN though collectively we have both been unemployed for the last 3 years and are now seriously underemployed- How much are we talking-really?
Sorry about your situation. What angers me is that while you want to help out with the debt of the country, Republicans are making sure that wealthy people can lend money to the government to make a profit with money from the tax breaks. That is a major reason Republicans want deficits--it represents the money that instead of paying in taxes to get to a balanced budget, they just loan back that money to the government in the form of government bonds and T-Bills.
I would demand that wealthy getting tax breaks no longer able to invest any of their money in government debt. It is a sick joke on most people that Republicans always make sure that there are deficits no matter what they say. Bush did the tax cuts with Republicans saying we were paying down our debt to quickly. No wonder, the wealthy needed the safe investments for their portfolio.
I know this is a tired recommendation, however I hardly hear anything about it. Why not cut some, or a large portion, of the budget given to the "War on Drugs". Instead threatening people with cutting medicare, education, social security, etc., why isn't cutting funding to the DEA, DARE, NIDA, or Partnership for a Drug Free America. It has been shown many times over that many of these programs do not reduce drug usage, but bleed millions to billions of dollars? If we are seriously looking at cutting education (which has not been doing the best in this country), shouldn't we be looking at cutting education as an absolute last resort?
Every year, proposed changes are always the same. When is someone going to REALLY look at cutting wasteful programs? I know some people believe that the previously mentioned programs are helpful and important, but compared side by side with education and healthcare, the DEA, DARE, Partnership for A Drug Free America, and NIDA lose.
The drum beat of the Republicans is to cut spending, cut taxes and make permanent Bush's tax cuts. Couldn't you ask how the Republicans plan to pay for the tax cuts. Give concrete and specific plans for revenue to pay for the tax cuts. I support our President to allow the tax cuts to expire unless they have a plan for paying for the tax cuts. If that means he will be a one term president to work for the American People, so be it. Our President needs to stand up to the Republicans and their misleading statements, as Perlstein wrote this morning, that the mainstream media is not "correcting their misleading statements," and actually being co-conspirators, not unlike the mainstream media support for the run up to the war. Please NPR, can't you have stronger guests to stand up to the likes of a Major Garrett, or at least economic experts who can convince the American people of these huge errors, and allow enough time to adequately present the issues.
Lady Justice,
I agree with your point that the Republican doesn't make sense for fixing the deficit, until you realize it is in the benefit of the wealthy. Bush put in the tax cuts and the arguments included that the debt was going down too quickly. Remember the government needs to borrow money and that it create bonds and TBills to fund deficit spending. So the money that the wealthy do not pay in taxes, they can just lend it instead and make a profit on it. Just imagine if you could avoid taxes by just lending the government money. It is that simple.
So, where arguments about deficits loses is that the wealthy depend on government debt.
How to catch them in their lie is to just tell them, wealthy can not both get tax cuts (supposedly to grow the economy) and buy or carry government debt.
And I wish like you said that Diane Rehm would have a guest on that could actually argue rather than repeat same old stuff.
The rich pay big bucks to hire bright minds to work in "think tanks."
They buy up radio and television and newspaper media.
The think tanks are basically advertising agencies who develop strategies to manipulate the public, including producing the "talking point."
The talking point is short, catchy, and meant to arouse some primal emotion; for example: "Barak Obama is a Muslim" or "Don't allow medical socialism to take over." Or "The government is the problem."
These catch phrases are repeated ad nauseum until a majority believes them without thinking, just as companies try to make you believe Sprite is better than say Dr. Pepper.
Big money is spent finding and funding candidates that will mouth these jingos.
Then the corporate media belt out the slogans, and corporate money funds attack ads at anything they don't like, especially any politician who is for any kind of regulation or taxing (which gets in the way of making more money).
The issues get lost. Those who encourage public discussion are called "elites." Encouraging public discussion does not benefit the corporate interest.
Those who get in the way of the big green machine get eliminated. Casualties include Elliott Spitzer (whistle blower on fraudulent businesses like Enron), Russ Feingold (primary voice for campaign finance reform), and prospectively Barak Obama (proponent of national health care who threatens to cancel tax cuts for the rich).
Big money wants you to believe in privatizing... everything, and that outsourcing jobs ("free trade") will help our economy, and that government (that provides education and enforces environmental regulations, and offers retirement funds) is too big, and if we just get rid of government and let the rich run free that the profits will "trickle down."
And we're waiting, in the rain of soudbites, for just one drop.
Questions that I want the Republican party to answer:
Where did the money go?
1. on 9/10/01 Sec. of Defence Rumsfeld was being questioned by a committee about the missing 2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS of the Pentagon
2. 2004-2007 unaccounted 8.7 BILLION DOLLARS missing in Iraq.
3. we give 3 BILLION Dollars every year to Israel and they have Universal Health Care
4. 2008 it was reported that 1 TRILLION was missing in Iraq.
As Billy, said: "But WAIT! Theres more!"
Where did the money go?
It's clear that the Republicans only want the power in the United States and not necessarily to do anything more than enrich their bank accounts or those of their friends and allies. Karl Rove (Rogue) proved campaigning to win was all that he cared about within the Bush administration to satisfy the rich. Fellow Republicans are following suit.
Why or why do the media not challenge the idea of "how low" we have come as reflected in Mitch McConnell's declaration that his single most important concern is to defeat President Obama in 2012? McConnell was not elected a senator to do that! Yet, the press just "report" by repeating the low standards they see politicians practicing. I want a media that would investigate and expose how the self-serving politicians (and their corporate buddies) are destroying the U.S.
Am I exaggerating? Just recall who caused the financial meltdown and ask where the accountability is.
When those with the microphone, such as Diane's guests, defer to the unhealthy status quo, without question, they diminish the possibility for change and the opportunities for future generations, and they reduce themselves to puppets not press.
Hi. I'm Noton, and I'm a 2%er.
While my earnings are high, (.5mm+) so is my tax burden. Since I fall under the "minimum alternative tax" rule, my deductions all disappear. Without deductions, my effective rate skyrockets. My overall tax rate (fed,state,county,city,blah,blah,blah) is over 50%. That, by any measure, is a "fair share".
I think the ire I hear towards "the wealthy" and "the top 2%" may be misdirected. I drive a 2002 work truck. I buy my clothes at Wal-Mart. I think paying $4.00 for a bottle of Charles Shaw is an extravagance. Since I have a dumpster at my company, I haul the trash from home instead of paying for two pickups. My take-home pay is $500.00 a week.
So, If I don't spend the money, where does it go? In the bank? Under my mattress? No, it goes back into the company I've been nurturing for 25 years. Back into machines and people, wages and benefits, bonuses and paid time off. The company is now worth some real money, but unless I sell it before I die, it will be crushed by taxes, with the feds and county stepping in to demand half of the assets upon my death, and leaving many families without income.
The place to look is not at the high earners who pay tax on earned income. Look UNDER the rug at those (like hedge funds) who get taxed under special exemptions that allow them to earn billions a year in ordinary income and pay only 15%.
Nough said, ya'll can go back to trashing the rich now ;)

TOKYO — Japan's biggest mobile phone carrier NTT DoCoMo on Friday cut its full-year profit forecast and said quarterly net profit was down 13 percent owing to rising infrastructure costs.
For the fiscal year through March, DoCoMo cut its earnings forecast to a net profit of 507 billion yen ($6.34 billion), from its previous target of 557 billion yen.
The company also said it booked a net profit of 121.6 billion yen in the three months to September, down from 140.3 billion yen in the same quarter last year.
Revenue in the latest quarter rose 6.5 percent to 1.13 trillion yen.
Sales of handsets and data sharing services rose but the cost of its mobile phones also increased while the firm had to spend more investing in infrastructure, DoCoMo said.
DoCoMo, which has more than 60 million subscribers, is locked in a fierce competition with KDDI and Softbank, both of which offer Apple's iPhone 5.
