It started as a really good cure for insomnia. A couple of weeks ago, unable to get to sleep, I tried all the usual things. I tried taking long deep breaths. I changed the pillow. I got up and poured a glass of milk. I did a bit of tapestry. In desperation, I rigged up a speaker so that I could listen to a recent podcast of Melvyn Bragg's In Our Time – and I chose my edition with care. It was the programme from May on the subject of Gnosticism, which you might suppose would be guaranteed to set you firmly on the road to Slumbertown. But none of it worked. The breathing gave me get-up-and-go; the pillow was no comfort; the milk was a stimulant; and as for Gnosticism, it turned out to be absolutely fascinating. I turned up the volume and listened intently for the full three quarters of an hour. All in all, it seemed I was never going to get to sleep.
And then I remembered an old game I used to play with a friend when we were doing cliff walks. Just take any pair of initials and think of all the people whose names fit them. So I set myself "B" and "W" – for no particular reason, and off I went. Billy Wilder came to mind. Bill Withers. Bill Wyman. Bradley Wiggins. Bob Wilson. Barbara Walters. Boo Weekley (American golfer). Billie Whitelaw. Around the time the name Bruce Welch came to mind (former member of the Shadows), I was drifting off. On the edge of sleep, I have a feeling I muttered "Betty Willingale" (legendary television drama producer), but by then I was in the arms of oblivion. The old initial game had done the work that no amount of milk, bickies, Victorian cross stitch and a set of keen religious historians had entirely failed to do.
But when I woke up, I was still thinking of people whose initials were BW – and two weeks later, my brain has refused to move on. I really wish I'd never started it now. Halfway through a conversation, I will shout (out of context), "Brian Walden!" and go off to write it down. It is amazing how one's subconscious finds these people – often offering them up without the name attached.
"Chap who directed the film Elvira Madigan?" it starts by saying, quite tentatively.
"But that was years ago!" your brain protests. "And he was Swedish!"
"I know that," says the subconscious, "but honestly, I think there's something there."
"You think it's a BW?"
"Yes, I do. Think! Come on, think!"
"Elvira Madigan – it might have been a Bo something."
"Well, there you are."
"Bo what, though?"
"Search me. You're the brain here."
"All right. How about Bo… um… Widerberg?"
"Yes, that's it."
"It is?"
"Bo Widerberg directed Elvira Madigan?"
It takes a bit of time for this information to sink in, and then the subconscious says:
"Now, what about that bloke who used to present Weekend World in the Eighties?"
I tried starting off with HM instead – to divert my subconscious from this obsessive interest in BW, but it didn't work. BW won't go away. BW has taken over my life. Woodward and Bernstein – wasn't the Woodward a B? Yes! It was Bob Woodward! Ben Whishaw took a ridiculous time to show up. But Benjamin Whitrow followed quickly on his heels. Barbara Windsor was a good moment, as was Bobby Womack (especially as I didn't know who he was). And then there were Brian Wilde, Bert Weedon, Bernie Winters, Bubba Watson (another golfer), Bernard Williams, Brian Wilson and Bruce Wayne.
This is no cure for insomnia. Quite the reverse. At 3am a couple of nights ago I sat up and said "Blay Whitby!" – which is the name of a philosopher at the University of Sussex I've met only a couple of times, but whose name (apparently) was filed away by his initials in some deep, deep quarter of my head. Will it ever end, this BW thing? Possibly not. With my dying breath I will utter the mysterious words, "Barnes Wallis!" And no one will know what to make of that, at all.

How do I create an effect to make my images look "old"?
Create a Vignette Effect – Sometimes your images may benefit from removing or toning down distracting backgrounds and enhancing the main subject a little, this is where Vignetting comes in.
You have probably seen the effect on old sepia images (or images made to look old) and noticed how it made the subject stand out. It is actually quite a simple process, but then isn't everything once you know how to do it?
Two points to make before I show you the process; firstly, don't overdo it! If you do, the image will look ridiculous and too obvious that you have overdone it. Secondly, it is all too easy to add Vignetting to all of your images. Save it for the ones that need it or would benefit from it.
What you want is an image that appears as though the viewer is seeing an old image or almost "spying" on the subject through an aperture like a keyhole or binoculars.
Ok. How to create a vignette effect.
Open your image fully and select the "elliptical marquee" tool (fig.1). Click and drag the size of oval or circle that you want around the subject. Don't worry if you can't get it in exactly the right place, just get the right size. "Unclick" and now you can click in the centre of the selection and move it into place.
Create a Vignette Effect – Fig.1
You now have the centre of the image, including your subject, within the selection, you need the outside. Go to select (fig.2) and select inverse, or simply right click on the image and select inverse that way. Now you can adjust and darken the surrounding area outside of the selection.
Create a Vignette Effect – Fig.2
If you were to darken the area now, you will end up with a pin sharp line between the adjusted and non-adjusted areas, we need to blur, smudge or "feather" the selection. This will make the adjustments look more gradual and pleasing to the eye.
Right click in the image, or go to select in the menu, and select the "feather" option. This will bring up a new box as in the top right section of fig.3, in which you must choose the radius or amount of feathering you require. For now, set it to 200 pixels and press OK.
Create a Vignetting Effect – Fig.3
Now go to Image – Adjustments and select the levels tool which you will use to darken the contrast around the selected area. Move the left, black slider towards the centre of the line as shown in fig.3. If you have the "preview" button checked, you will see the vignette appear as you do this. Find a suitable level for your image and leave it at that.
Don't overdo it like I have done here, "deselect" the area and save your new image remembering to keep the original.
You can add other effects such as sepia toning to enhance the aged look, but for now, I hope that this adds to your knowledge of Photoshop effects.

Jacket (here), Shirt: New Look, Jeans: JCP (very similar), Shoes: Jessica Simpson, Sunglasses: Quay
I've listened to a lot of country music this summer. It all started with a Blake Shelton spotify playlist I randomly clicked on during one of my walks. Soon after I was listening to Miranda Lambert (don't get me started on their separation!) Then I found the great George Strait, listened to his entire catalogue, and am still lamenting the fact that I missed his grand farewell tour.
That's a good example of how I fall into new interests.
Anyway, the Southern breeze, cowboy heartache, and steely (yet fragile) songstresses have inspired my style lately. Been wearing a lot of denim. Sometimes double denim looks like this one. Ankle boots. Then I found this amazing pink suede fringe jacket. It is me—in jacket form. I held off buying it for a while. But when I saw it on major sale, I scooped it up.
Someone take me to Texas, preferably if it's to a Miranda Lambert concert.

Despite a touch of paranoia and the inevitable lingering shadow of you-know-who, Julian Lennon looked impressive at the House of Blues, seemingly comfortable with himself, in control of his music, in touch with his heritage, yet determined to become his own man. But can he?
Few artists have as tough a double burden to bear as Julian Lennon, who not only has his father's canonized legacy looming over him, but also his own early success in 1984-85. On his first try, he scored a hit album ("Valotte") that produced two Top 10 singles — and then a quick followup was panned and unleashed a backlash. Now 36, he's touring after a seven-year layoff with a new album "Photograph Smile."
Despite the time away, the bitterness has not entirely dissipated; in an interview with Beatlefan magazine, Lennon accused his stepmother Yoko Ono of trying to sabotage his career in England. And even onstage, he couldn't resist needling critics for saying that he sounds like his dad, adding "Well, you know what? — yes I do!" It's time to move on.
On that count, Lennon's progress could be compared to moving from one tract house to another in the same neighborhood. With a solid, no-frills, '70s-style pop/rock band behind him, Julian's voice is stronger now, capable of more expression in his favorite ballad idiom. He sang a new autobiographical song, "No One But You," with assured power and fervor, sermonizing about being responsible for solving one's problems. On the new album's title track, a touching number about an unfulfilled long-distance relationship, he successfully pulled it off with only electric piano backing. Thankfully, he isn't content to recycle his own past; he completely retooled his biggest hit "Too Late for Goodbyes" into a Rolling Stones-style rocker and made it work.
As a writer, though, Julian still relies upon the idioms that his father knew — with familiar instrumental counterlines and those achingly nostalgic vocal harmonies cropping up — and has yet to take the next step beyond them.
Indeed, Julian is actually closer to his heritage now than he was in the 1980s: For encores, he offered a couple of rocking oldies, "Slippin' And Slidin'" and "Stand By Me," in nearly identical arrangements that John used. It was scary how close Julian came to replicating his dad's vocals. If he can have fun with this and hammer his own stuff into the repertoire, Julian Lennon may yet rate more than a rock history footnote.

Out-of-school care
At Partou you can count on excellent care of your child in a safe and loving surrounding. Personal attention and having fun come first. There is always a team member available for your son or daughter, even when the situation is a bit hectic. Partou is also the spot where fantasy and imagination are given a free rein. We inspire the children by offering them surprising activities, which help them to explore the world in a playful manner. Every day something special, that is Partou!
Partou's out-of-school care
is for children from 4 to 12 years old who attend elementary school:
- before and after school (pre-school-care and after-school-care)
- all day long during school holidays
- during school seminars
Does your working day start early or do you have to leave home at an early hour to get to work in time? Then may be Partou's pre-school-care is the solution for you. Your child starts his day in a relaxed manner playing with other children. And you can start your day without stress. A pedagogical employee accompanies your child safely to school.
Not everywhere
Not all our locations offer pre-school-care. Check the webpage of the location of your choice if pre-school-care is possible there.
After-school-care starts in the afternoon after closing time of the schools. Our pedagogical employees pick up the children from school and make sure that they arrive safely at the location. There the children can unwind after an intensive school day. In every Partou after-school-care location facilities are available to offer them a variety of programmes which are surprising and fun.
Care during school holidays or on days when the schools are closed for seminars
During school holidays and on school seminar days we care for the children on their contract days the whole day long . We create a downright holiday atmosphere by making music and going to the theatre, the zoo or a children's farm. Sometimes we organise activities which are both instructive and fun and based on a particular theme such as "foreign countries".
Transportation and costs
The pedagogical employees of Partou pick up the children from school and bring them to the location. Depending on the distance the go on foot, by cart or by taxi. The costs of transportation by taxi are not covered by the child care benefit of the government. You will receive a bill for it. This applies only to the first child of a family. More children from the same family travel by taxi for free. When your child is 8 years old and capable of going to school on his own (for instance by bike), he also does not need to be escorted from school to the location any more. Of course we need to get your permission for that.
Various conclusions of a contract possible
At Partou you can select from a wide range of out-of-school care contracts. Do you need care the whole year through, or just once in a while when circumstances require it. You will always be able to conclude a contract that answers to your wishes.
Do you need advice?
If you are not sure which of our contracts fits your situation the best, ask our customer service for free advice.

Driving home from Apalachicola we passed through Sopchoppy. Now there's a funny name for a town. And on our way to and from Jacksonville we go right by the Scrambletown general store on C.R. 314. That's an even funnier name, eh?
These names kept nagging like a hangnail. So, with some help from Google, Heather Ogilvy's team at the Freedom Public Library and a few other computer sources, I decided to hunt up the reasons why these and other such names came to be. My editor suggested sticking to Marion County names as much as possible to give whatever I found a local angle, so here goes – along with a few side roads.
Our forebears who came up with names for Marion County cities, towns, burgs and crossroads were not an especially imaginative bunch. They leaned pretty heavily on the local Indian words and names of early deep pocket settlers for inspiration. That may be one reason I veered off track a few times while researching these origins, finding myself fascinated by a few from other counties.
We'll start with our Marion County favorite, Scrambletown. Just drive east on C.R. 40, turn left just over the Ocklawaha Bridge onto S.R. 314 at Nuby's Corner and keep an eye out about 8 to 10 miles up the road. Here's what you should look for.
Scrambletown was first a quiet spot in the Ocala National Forest for folks who wanted to get away from it all. Realizing they had to produce something for income, in the 1930s many chose distilling moonshine.
The federal revenuers were about as determined as they come and finally decided to raid those stills. The locals got wind of the intended raid … and scrambled. That's what it says on the general store sign.
But another version just had residents scrambling for any way they could to make a living. Either way, they certainly did scramble.
Lest anyone feel I've played favorites … though I do have some … we'll try doing the rest of this on-the-road-review in alphabetical fashion. That means starting with Anthony, which suddenly became famous when the Travoltas moved in.
That sleepy little settlement was first known as Anoty Place. But a Col. E. C. Anthony got things rolling to attract orange groves, cattle ranches and lumbering crews to earn his immortalization.
Then we have Belleview, one of three Florida towns so named, and simply meaning beautiful view. Blitchton is next, named for a pioneer family who managed to supply two brothers serving the state senate at the same time.
Boardman goes back to 1863 to find another pioneer namesake. Bradley came along later in 1910, named for Mr. you-know-who, and made a big deal over now being Bradley Junction a few years afterward.
Let's start the veering business with Apalachicola, just beyond our state's Big Bend along the Gulf of Mexico. This Hitchiti Indian word means "people on the other side," but it also means "allies" to Choctaw Indians. To muddy the waters a bit further, the area was settled by the Creek Indians.
For me, Apalachicola really means "the tastiest oysters I've ever enjoyed."
Back to Marion County, we come to Burbank.. Best guess here is Luther Burbank, the horticulturist who befriended Thomas Edison and Henry Ford during frequent Florida vacations.
Candler earned another of those family names way back in 1881 and Citra was the brainstorm of the Rev. P. P. Bishop who talked four other orange grove owners into a unanimous okay.
Already slightly behind with the veering, let's look at Capone Island in the Intracoastal Waterway near Palm Beach. Infamous Al Capone supposedly bought it to build a getaway from his estate on Palm Island near Miami but, instead, relocated to another island called Alcatraz.
You know Cedar Key for its artist colony and seafood festivals reminding us it was once populated with fishermen and their families. An important Gulf port during the Civil War, it took three pencil factories to strip the dense cedar forests bare before they shut down.
I thought Chassahowitzka had to be a Yiddish name until learning otherwise. This swampy area in Hernando County is a Creek Indian combo of chasi for "pumpkin" and houwitchka meaning "to open," or "place where pumpkins are opened." I'm also told that "case o' whiskey" is the local pronunciation.
Okay, with that out of our system, back to Marion County names like Early Bird. Why? Nobody could tell me. But I couldn't leave a name like that out of this list, could I? A lumber company's railroad stop on the way to Archer, Early Bird residents tried for three times for a post office over 23 years before giving up in 1914.
Then we have East Lake, cleverly identifying a community on the eastern shore of Lake Weir. It was Greek to me but Eureka, perched on the Ocklawaha River in Ocala National Forest since 1873, clearly reflects the attitude of many forest residents. Translated to "I have found it!" this little settlement's name really does get the job done.
Fort King was the original seat of Marion County. Built next to a Seminole Indian agency established in 1825, the fort was named for Col. William King. It was here the Seminole War began when Chief Osceola's warriors ambushed Gen. Wily Thompson and four soldiers who had been lured outside the stockade.
A very early map of Florida I found in a Key West gold shop shows Fort King and Fort McCoy in much larger type … signifying greater importance and perhaps larger population … than early Ocala.
Fort McCoy was built a bit later during the Seminole War and included brick structures. Some remains could still be seen in the 1940s. It was also a station along the Ocala Northern Railroad line and boasted a large sawmill before welcoming the VFW home in 1985. But, I've yet to discover who was the real McCoy.
May I veer again over to Frostproof, please? Supposedly named by northern cowboys who herded their charges to this warmer spot between lakes each winter and noticed the lack of frost in the coldest seasons. Local Indian lore insisted Lake Clinch held an immense serpent. In 1907, residents reported the monster had indeed been spotted and "must be 30 feet long." I have yet to find evidence of any concerns over this competition from Loch Ness or Lake Champlain sources.
The shores of Lake George form part of Marion County's eastern boundary. This second-largest lake in Florida is really a bulge in the St. Johns River. While French explorers from up-river were probably the first visitors in 1564, it is assumed the name is due to British occupation of east Florida and stuck.
Another significant body of Marion County water is Lake Weir, apparently named for a resident, Dr. Weir. However, an 1839 map refers to it as Wares Lake and 35 years later is became known as Lake Ward. So, take your pick.
The name for Marion County itself was in honor of General Francis Marion, known during the Revolutionary War as the "Swamp Fox" by his grudgingly admiring adversaries. This choice was doubtless endorsed by the county's many early settlers who hailed from the general's native state of South Carolina.
We'll veer to Micanopy when Part 2 concludes this sojourn of oddball hamlets.

NASA timelapse: 3 years of the sun in 3 minutes
Here comes the SunThe sun, to many of us, is like water to a fish. Very important, but we kind of forget about it because it's always been there. But the great nuclear fusion reactor in the sky is a fascinating astral body that deserves our attention, not only because it powers almost all life on Earth (exceptions are some chemotrophs and such) and bathes us in enough energy to easily meet all the needs of our human civilization, but also because it is beautiful in its own right and a great playground for scientists.
The video below is a timelapse produced by NASA (Jaymi had mentioned it here). It shows 3 years of the sun in 3 minutes (a bit more in the version with the commentary track by heliophysicist Alex Young) in a way you've probably never seen it before. Highly recommended:
In case you just want to chill out while looking at the sun (without damaging your eyes), here's the same thing but without the commentary track:

That's my response to my first blogchat that occurred from 7pm-9pm on Twitter using the hashtag #blogchat. Although I have been blogging for a couple years and have always intended to participate, I just haven't set aside the time. Tonight was finally the night, and my only regret is that I didn't set aside the time prior to now. The online event garnered more than 765 posts and responses from 165 contributors (not including retweets) and was a great chat with participants with many different perspectives.
If you are a blogger and are interested in reading the transcript of the chat, you can check it out here.
Some key points from the chat included:
- Blogging is a way for faceless corporations to bring a human presence to the forefront
- Blogs my speak from the heart. Even if they're corporate blogs
- Comments MUST be enabled on blogs, otherwise it's just a one-way conversation. Moderation is okay, but must be quick
- Be authentic, provide value, DON'T sell
- If you build relationships…sales will come later
- Company blogs should not be marketing fact sheets
- Blogging is an effective internal tools, as well as a way to connect with customers
- A good blog profile should show a real person's photo.
- A team is important to good corporate blog. Multiple points of view are important
- One key to good blogging is to ask your readers to engage and influence the content
- Picking the right person/team to blog for you is CRITICAL. The wrong personality or voice can harm your blog
- Let the blog evolve. Get started, engage with your audience, allow the conversation to change…
Thanks to everyone for all the great tips! I'll be doing everything possible to attend regularly from now on! Special thanks to @MackCollier for putting this great event together!

Parks and Recreation Recap: Punch Out
"When I eat, it is the food that is scared."
Leslie Knope is elbows deep in her campaign, and we're getting to see what happens to a control freak when she puts herself up for public consumption, a situation that, as reading any selection of YouTube comments will indicate, is the definition of chaos.
We find Leslie and Ben watching focus groups about Leslie from behind a two-way mirror, and though she's getting a variety of critiques ("She's aggressively short!"), she fixates on one guy who says that she doesn't seem like the kind of gal you can go bowling with. She can bowl, just ask Ron! And there's the Leslie we remember, the manic, spastic, whirlwind of neuroses! By the time we see her again, she's compiled an enormous dossier on the "bowling guy," Derek, and she's determined to fix him by throwing a bowling social so she can let Pawnee get to know her.
Now it's time to check in with the rest of the team as they prepare for a phone drive for Leslie's campaign. (Champion sighting!) Everyone's in proper form — Jerry is giving out his social security number to callers, Donna is having phone sex, April is threatening people, and Chris is terrifyingly enthusiastic. Seriously, if he sat at your table at Starbucks, you'd move to another table, even if it meant giving up an outlet.
At the bowling campaign event, Leslie struggles to look laid back. Tom shows up in designer bowling gear and Drive scorpion jacket; Ron channels Chuck Norris in discussing bowling alley food — "When I eat, it is the food that is scared"; and Ann kinda seems to be there so that Tom and Ron can be funny at her. I usually see Ann as being "us" in Parks and Rec, the rational one among the weirdos, but more and more, I just want her to get weird too. The three of them bowl together, and Ron is horrified to find that Tom's little-boy style of bowling works better than Ron's techniques.
Back at the phone drive, Chris is enthusiastically racking up donations, so April decides that she must beat him in order to ruin his happiness. We are treated to polite April, Southern April, and Hispanic April, and they're all making bank for the campaign. Chris is so excited because he's going to ask Millicent to move in with him, which is when Jerry, out of earshot of Chris, reveals that his daughter is planning on breaking up with Chris. Bonus, she's on her way to the phone drive RIGHT NOW!
She arrives, and Chris and Millicent announce they're going on a walk. "Take a jacket" Donna says. "Millicent's company will keep me warm," says Chris. " … take a jacket." April, who wished for Chris's misery earlier, now thinks she might be a wizard.
Back at the bowling social, Ron is horrified that Tom's bowling method works, and then accidentally smashes Tom's finger, which elicits a lot of high-pitched whining about "hurt fingies" from Tom. And of course focus group Derek is at the event, and of course Leslie hones in on him in an attempt to win him over. They start bowling, Leslie charming him with wings and knowledge of Ice Road Truckers. Even after she lets Derek win, he says he won't vote for her because he "doesn't like her." She is enraged, screams that she let Derek win, and challenges him to another bowling match, this time for his vote.
Leslie wins this match and Derek responds by calling her a bitch, which makes Ben go all boyfriend and punch Derek out. Awesome! Leslie responds by making out with him, and that's when the press starts taking photos. I loved this as an introduction to how Relationship Leslie is going to deal with Workaholic Leslie and vice versa, and it's a struggle I hope we see more of in the future. Even when the cops arrive, Leslie defends Ben's actions, and better, kind of loves what he did.
Resolution time! April, who scored the most money from donors, goes to check on Chris the next day, and finds him heartbreakingly unable to say anything positive about the breakup. She awkwardly hugs him and offers to go with him to use the movie tickets she won from the phone drive. Aw, look at April being nice! We are then off to Leslie's press conference about the bowling debacle, and after starting a standard apology, Leslie decides she doesn't want to apologize for her actions or for Ben's, and if you don't vote for her because of that, fine ... but her boyfriend may beat you up. Look at this relaxed, charming candidate! Now focus groups are loving how ballsy and charming Leslie is, and hopefully we'll get to see more of this Leslie. My only request? More of Paul Rudd's Bobby Newport, and more Champion!

Bray Wyatt did tease something big for their Wrestlemania match and I hope that it's Sister Abigail.
Asuka is ready to be called up and she would suit as being Sister Abigail as much as I know. Either Asuka or even Ember Moon. I have waiting a lot for it since the mention of Sister Abigail came up.
One can always dream.
Sister Abigail should never be portrayed as a character IMO. For many reasons:
a) She's dead and it's not the 80s anymore. Her coming back as a dead person or saying that she never really died, won't do anything. These stories don't really work anymore.
b) She's better as an idea. Let's say Asuka becomes Abigail. Then what? She makes Bray stronger? She interferes in the matches? She wrestles? For what reason? What I'm trying to say is that her presence is not really needed. She will have the same role she already has, with the difference being that the audience will be able to see her.
Abigail works just fine the way she is right now. She is a chapter of Bray's past. I would accept Abigail appearing on TV in two ways only:
1) In a short film about Bray's past.
2) An angle where Abigail is supposedly ressurected, only for Bray to find out that she's a fake and the real Abigail is still dead. That would be a story to turn Bray face.
However, the real Abigail has no bussiness appearing on TV. It's the fact that she's dead that really keeps Bray going. (That could be used in the final stage of the "fake Abigail" angle)
This is how to end the Orton vs. Wyatt match.
Lots of near falls back and forth. And then Orton hits his 2nd RKO and the lights go out. Wyatt's music hits and walking out to the ring is The Wyatt Family (Rowan, Harper, B. Dallas - now Bo Wyatt) & Sister Abigail (Mika Rotunda) his actual sister very sinister looking clothing and makeup making her look very pale (almost corpse like). Orton is distracted and turns around into a Sister Abigail finisher. The Wyatt Family celebrates after the match and Bray announces to the crowd this will be the year of Wyatt!!! I had an earlier post thinking Ruby Riot from NXT would be a good choice but why not his actual sister???

An emergency flood notice listed 12 accommodation camps which were unreachable by road and 10 main entrance gates which had been closed after several rivers burst their banks.
Some towns near Kruger have reportedly received more than 10 inches of rain in the last 48 hours.
South African National Parks spokesman Rey Thakhuli said the military had now been brought in to help evacuate trapped tourists.
"Several camps are now totally unreachable. The tourists and staff in each are all safe and being looked after, but are effectively stranded.
"We have our helicopter airborne and the national defence force has also supplied a helicopter to aid the evacuation operation."
The famous park is the biggest game park in South Africa and one of the largest in the world.
It covers an area the size of Wales and lies in South Africa's north eastern corner, along the country's borders with neighbouring Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Kruger contains several rivers, many of which flow through the park from higher altitudes en route to the Indian Ocean.
The rescue operation was being run from a control centre inside Kruger's main Skukuza camp.
However a doctor who works at the site said the camp itself had been effectively divided into two after a river burst its banks, causing serious flooding.
Dr Gary Pieser said medics were flying emergency supplies to guests and workers in need.
"We are now totally stranded inside the camp – the only way to get in or out is via helicopter," he said.
"We have had some calls from tourists who became trapped in their vehicles in the park, and we're doing what we can to evacuate them.
"So far we have had no reports of serious injuries, but people have called requesting supplies such as insulin which we are trying to get to them."

error messages in one user profile
Im running Windows 7 with 3 user accounts. Recently when logging onto one of the accounts (happens to be the administrator and the one Ive been using most as of late) I encounter a series of problems. I´ve since checked on the other accounts and none of these issues are found outside of this one account
1) Every time I log onto this account I get the error message:
CreateDirectory() error!!!
2) I noticed the programs I had pinned to the taskbar had changed from their normal program icons to blank white icons, and no longer work as shortcuts to the programs they used to run
3) In the start menu the same thing has happened. Office programs I had in the start menu have changed to blank white icons and don´t run.
4) Also in the Start Menu the search function has stopped working. For example I type the letter a and wait, but no results are returned at all.
5) Also on the Start Menu, in the area on the right below the usrename (Documents, Pictures, Music). None of these links work. I click on them and nothing happens
6) When I run Word I get the error message:
Microsoft Word
The correction file MSO1110.acl could not be saved.
This file may be read-only or you may not have permission to change it
(not the exact words, I have Office installed in another language and Im translating)
I click OK and the same error pops up a second time. Click OK again and Word runs. However, it proves very unstable, frequently closing without warning, giving messages that Word stopped working correctly etc. Also, I am finding files called MSO1110.acl, and similar filenames being generated in various locations, on the desktop, in My Documents etc
7) When I run OneNote I get an error saying the files may be corrupted or there may not be space on the disk for them. Remember, this only happens in one user account. In the others OneNote runs without problems. I have transferred some of my notes to a removable disk and opened them from other user accounts and they open no problems
8) Internet Explorer has forgotten my most visited sites. When I open a new tab it should bring up a series of tiles representing my most visited sites, but these all went blank, and are now filling up wit the sites I have visited since, noit taking into account all the sites vistited previously.
9) I had a Sticky Note on the desktop which has disappeared. Indeed if I go to Start All Programs Accessories and click on sticky Notes, nothiung happens, the program doesn´t open but I don´t get any error message either. In other user accounts it works.
10) When I open Chrome I get the error message your preferences cannot be read. Some features may not be available. And changes to your preferences will not be saved
11) Opeining Skyoe also says files were not found and I should uninstall and reinstall the progtam to solve the problem
Well, I don´t know if this is specifically a Windows 7 problem but I´d be grateful if anyone of the knowledgeable contributors here could recognize the symptoms and suggest what the problem may be. I have obviously thought that as all these problemas are only found in one user profile, I could just delete it and use another profile, but I would be worried about these problems coming back in the future.

Hello tgv, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You might see if doing a system restore at boot using a restore point (if available) dated before this happened may be able to fix this for you.
Hope this helps, :)

Hi Brink,
Thanks very much for your reply. Sorry I´ve taken so long to post again.
Unfortunately I was running low on hard disc space a while back and deactivated system restore points! I subsequently discovered the windows old folder and deleted that to free up a whole load of space agaian. I was sure I´d then reactivated system restore, but unfortunately it seems not as I don´t have any restore points to go back to!
Well, this problem has an easy solution which is to delete this user profile and create anaother to replace it, so I guess that´s what I´ll do. I was sjust really after some idea of what might´ve gone wrong to cause this problem. I though maybe there could be a problem with the hard disc which had caused data to get corrupted or something, and as this is a new computer I´d like to know asap if that was the case as it´s under warranty.
Oh well, unless someone has a specific idea as to what might have caused it I´ll just go with deletoing the user profile in question and starting a new one.

Sancy >
Le Mont-Dore
At the sources of the Dordogne River and the foot of the Puy de Sancy, Le Mont-Dore is a large mountain village with a warm and lively atmosphere, as well as a renowned spa resort.
Architecture of Le Mont-Dore
Reflection of a rich past
- Capucin funicular: a historic monument, the oldest electric funicular in France (constructed in 1898). It climbs the heights to Salon du Capucin from May to October (altitude: 1,300m, many hiking paths, adventure trail in the trees). Presentation document in English.
- Thermal baths: behind the austere lava-coloured façade is the hidden flamboyance of a prestigious past. Listed in part as a historic monument, this is wonderful architecture in the Neo-Byzantine style. Framework in the style of that by Gustave Eiffel, vast rooms with painted ceilings, columns, domes, rose windows, stained glass, marble statues and mosaics, vestiges of the Roman baths, frescos from the XIXth century. Guided tour (information from the Tourist Office)
To discover
Enamelled lava workshop.
Neo-gothic church, atypical in its planning and aspect, the modernity and quality of its interior decoration.
Activities and leisure
Summer tobogganing
Adventure trail in the trees
Climbing, mountain climbing
Horseback riding
Bowling, ice skating
Mountain biking
Casino, pub, cybercafé
Puy de Sancy (1,886m)
The culminating point in the Massif Central
This is a stratovolcano (several volcanoes overlapping each other and whose eruptions did not happen at the same time). Its formation began 5 million years ago and ended about 250,000 years ago. We find all types of eruptive activity known throughout the world. The intensive volcanic activity that gave rise to the Massif du Sancy can be seen today in a vast wealth of geological phenomena and flora.
Access: after the ascent by cable car, continue your ascent to the summit (20 min) via the steps (viewing table). A signposted path crosses the Sancy ridges.
A plunging view over the valleys in the National Nature Reserves of Chaudefour and Chastreix-Sancy.
Big waterfall
One of the highest in Auvergne. The fall of 30m under the columnar basalt is particularly impressive (access via a path from the thermal baths: walk of 1 hr 30 min return trip, follow the yellow signs)
Springs of the Dordogne River, at the foot of the Sancy

Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: A lighter fare, gluten free quiche made with fresh garden veggies and a bit of cheese, in a brown rice crust. The crust is an adaptation of one found online (?), and tweaked from long grain to short grain rice with a change up of the type of cheese used in the crust to compliment the cheese used in the filling (my favorite is Gruyere or Jarlsberg). A small slice makes an excellent side to any meal. —lapadia
Makes: 1 - 10 inch pie
Nonstick butter cooking spray
2 cups cooked and cooled short grain brown rice
1 large egg white
1/4 cup gruyere or jarlsberg - or your choice
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 10 inch pie pan with butter cooking spray and set aside. Mix together, the rice, cheese and 1 egg white. Press mixture over the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake uncovered, 5 minutes.
- Cool while preparing the filling.
1-1/2 cups sliced leeks
1 cup carrot, peeled and grated
1 small zucchini, grated, peel on, excessive moisture pressed out (I use a potato ricer) or just take the extra time to cook the water out (step 4) - I have done it both ways.
1 cup vegetable broth
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 cup milk 1 or 2%
2 large eggs (for lighter option use 2 egg whites and 1 egg)
1 cup gruyere or jarlsberg cheese (or cheese of your choice)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (omit for lighter option)
Optional – a couple teaspoons pimento
- Add the leeks, carrots and zucchini to a saucepan with vegetable broth.
- Cook uncovered over medium heat for 15 minutes.
- Salt & Pepper to your taste.
- Increase heat to medium high and cook, stirring until all liquid is evaporated.
- Transfer to mixing bowl. Add in the pimento (optional) and toss. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- In the meantime: Whisk the eggs together. Whisk the eggs and milk to incorporate.
- Pour the milk/egg mixture into the cooled vegetables. Pour mixture into the rice crust. Add the cheese.
- Dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
- Bake until the filling is puffed and set (about 30-35 minutes). Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Spin Tokens are a type of collectible found in every run on Jetpack Joyride. Upon dying, obtained Spin Tokens can be redeemed with useful prizes through a slot machine, otherwise Spin Tokens can be cashed in for 50 coins, or 100 coins if Counterfeit Machine or Next Run Double is used. Spin Tokens are usually hard to obtain, especially when they zig-zag or curve dangerously close to obstacles, but this can be negated with the use of the Magnetic Tokens gadget. Its appearance is a medium-sized coin object with a beige-colored X on it.
Prize ListEdit
- Second Chance - Resurrects players that have just died. This can be useful for collecting more Coins and Spin Tokens and setting new distance records. If you're lucky enough to survive and get another spin token, you cannot get another.
- 750 M Head Start - Boosts players 750 M ahead at the start of a game.
- Next Run Double Coins - Doubles the amount of coins received in the next run of the game. This is useful for earning coins faster for buying items in The Stash.
- Blasts - Utilities that help players go to farther distances after dying.
- Small Blast - Blasts the player 100+ meters away from the point where he/she died. Its appearance is a stick of dynamite.
- Big Blast - Blasts players 200+ meters away from his/her point of death. Its appearance is that of a TNT ball.
- Atom Blast - Blasts players 400+ meters away from his/her point of death. Its appearance is a beige-colored atomic bomb with a "Radiological Hazard" sign.
- Coins - In-game currency that help players buy items in The Stash.
- Bonus - Gives players a bonus of 100 coins. Its appearance is a picture of a coin.
- Cash Prize - Gives players a bonus of 500 coins. Its appearance is a picture of three coins stacked together to form a triangle.
- Jackpot - Gives players a bonus of 1000 coins. Its appearance is a picture of six coins stacked up together.
- Tokens - 3 bonus Tokens will be added to the player to increase the chance of earning more rewards.
- Magnetic Tokens - Makes Spin Tokens easier to obtain.
- Token Gift - Gives a free Spin Token at the start of the game. It is automatically fitted with the "Magnetic Tokens" gadget. However, you might not collect the gift. If you do so, you will earn Rejected.
- Lucky Last - Enables players to always win a prize through the Final Spin Token.
- Spin Tokens tend to spawn when Lasers or multiple Zappers appear at once.
- It is even harder to obtain them when Spin Tokens zig-zag near the mentioned obstacles.
- A yellow trail appears to notify players that a Spin Token is close by.
- It is possible for two Spin Tokens to move close to each other, though this is quite rare for this to happen. They can even appear thrice at the same time. See Gallery.
- Spin Tokens are extremely useful when trying to obtain large quantities of Coins.
- It is possible for players to receive prizes consecutively, but this requires luck.
- It is impossible to predict when Spin Tokens will appear, as they appear randomly in each game.
- BUG:If you get a spin token right when you die and then you win a Final Blast, it will appear that the Text "X spin token" will flip repetitively without disappearing as if it is the Gravity Suit.
- If you get 3 spin tokens in sector 1, which mostly happens if the habitat section is the sea, then there is none in sector 2 or even 3.

A lot of people fantasize about having sex with a relative stranger while their significant other watches with pleased approval, perhaps while also fucking someone they too just met. Fewer people have actually played out this scenario in real life.
But not as few as you might think.
According to a study published last year in USA Today, there are roughly three million swingers in the United States. Todd Claxton knows better. As the owner of lovevoodoo.com, Claxton caters to a customer base of 400,000 and estimates that the actual number of American swingers to be closer to nine million.
Although still a relatively underground phenomenon, swinging, or "the lifestyle" as it's referred to by the people who do it, is a populous community composed of doctors, lawyers, school teachers, parents, young people, old people, middle-aged people, and yes, attractive people. Wealthy people. Interesting people. You know, people that you'd actually want to sleep with.
Although single folks swing, the vast majority of the population is composed of heterosexual couples that have decided to play outside the rules of traditional monogamy. Typically, couples get involved when the female partner expresses an interest in being with another female. The inclination to experiment generally grows from there, with most couples eventually participating in "four way matches," that is, sex with another couple.
Lifestyle websites like lovevoodoo.com, facilitate these matchups, as most newbies are unsure of how to actualize fantasy without the assist of a reputable resource. "A lot of the lifestyle is about casual sex," Claxton says. "If you are a single, you can be fairly confident that other singles are looking for some sort of sexual experience. However if you are a couple you wouldn't have any way of knowing what couples are interested and what couples aren't, so a site like ours can be a big help."
It was for Susan Lee, a Washington DC-based business owner who got into swinging seven years ago when her husband approached her with the idea. Although initially reticent, Lee says she "humored" the idea and in her research, came across lovevoodoo.com.
"We saw all the hot people on the guest list and decided to give it a shot," Lee says. "Just talking about it just heated up our sex life considerably. We talked more openly about our fantasies, and the pillow talk became reality when we went to one of the parties. "
Held in private homes and clubs, parties are a foundational element of the lifestyle, as they serve as meet and greets for swingers, most of whom have scoped each other out online before the event. Parties generally include ten to thirty couples and are often themed. (Lingerie, sexy school girl, sexy rock star, sexy you get the point....).
"At some parties, it's down and dirty by 9:30. In and fuck and run," Lee says with a laugh. "I wonder if they even find out the other people's names. But mostly, parties commence like any other cocktail party or gathering. The advantage is, if you happen to hit it off with an individual or a couple, the opportunity is there to take it a little further and hook up with them, but that doesn't necessarily happen every time."
"We have slightly different tastes," Lee says of the people she and her husband encounter at such events, "but at the end, before we act on anything, we agree."
Group vacations, cruises and swinger conventions are also popular ways for swingers to meet, greet and let loose. Such events happen internationally --cruises to the Galapagos Islands, trips to Jamaica's Hedonism resort, etc.-- with the number one lifestyle market in the US being Florida, "probably due to a large amount of people vacationing there and feeling open to doing something they may not normally do close to home," Claxton says. The Sunshine State is followed by Mid-Atlantic region, Texas and California. All regions of the country have an active swinger community.
The country's largest lifestyle convention, Naughty In Nawlins, (happening in NOLA this July 11-15), attracts a crowd of about a thousand swingers between the ages of 21 and their early seventies. Here, attendees immerse themselves in lifestyle culture and get it on with folks from around the world. Typical matchups include full swaps, (when a couple swaps partners, including intercourse), and soft swaps, (when the swap action is limited to oral sex). Girl on girl, the primary point of entry for most lifestyle neophytes, is where the women play but without any contact with other's male partner.
Claxton recommends that couples agree to set of limitations and expectations before jumping into bed, (or pool, hot tub, etc.), and sticking with them. "There will always be another opportunity to do more, but you cannot go back."
In the last seven years, Lee and her husband have gone from newbies to well-known members of their lifestyle community. "We've done cruises and conventions," she says, "and it's not unusual for party people to call and invite us to act as hosts and give us stuff to come. We've made a huge transition from putting our toes in it to being very involved. We hardly have any vanilla friends."
Still, like most swingers, they do have a reputation to protect among the often-judgmental non-swinging "vanilla" population. Thus, it's not acceptable to disclose anything about "fucking your friends" with people outside of the lifestyle. "Posting pictures isn't okay," Lee says. "Facebook isn't okay. I have two separate profiles, and I keep those very separate."
While swingers tend to keep their sexual habits separate from their daily lives, Claxton says that "surprisingly, most swingers are Republican, and in many ways very conservative. Sexuality is the one area most of them are liberal. Many swingers just want to go to a sexy place, dance flirt, have a good time, but at the end of the night, they just want to go home with each other."

Indeed, Lee says that swinging has actually strengthened her marriage "even just from the perspective of communicating and verbalizing fantasies. It made it okay for my husband to say that the girl walking down the street was hot, or vice versa, because we do it together. We really opened up to going at it as a unit versus doing our own thing."
Claxton affirms that most couples in the lifestyle have rock solid relationships. "Swingers," he says, "are normal folks other than two differences: They have marriages based on trust and honestly and are not running around behind their spouses backs so they rarely get divorced. They also just do not believe in monogamy. "
"If you are having marital issues, the last thing you need to do is get involved in the lifestyle. Without trust and a solid relationship, it's is not for you."

Grate Seal
Grate Seal prevents smelly drains, hazardous embarrassing odours, foaming suds, & vermin escaping from drains by creating an airtight barrier between the drain and the habitable area above. It is an innovative product that provides protection and improves hygiene in washrooms and has become an essential product for use in both new buildings and refurbishments.
The products were developed at the request of more than one of Sydney's major developers that experienced problems with odours escaping from the drainage system.
Grate Seal is now used in projects ranging from the domestic home through to hospitals, apartment blocks, office blocks, sporting complexes, airports and a range of other commercial premises.
Grate Seal is a specially designed rubber one-way valve that is made from a complex blend of chemicals that inhibit the growth of bacteria and microbes such as "Golden Staph" and "E. Coli".
Grate Seal is made from one piece and is a self cleansing design.

Toyota Corolla Basic Maintenance Questions
Tup, I've been hearing about Zaino recently. I think I remember it being popular in a Mustang board somewhere. I've also heard good things about Meguiars. Although, XR, I don't think you should have to polish it everytime. Polish contains abrasives. I would think you only had to polish on a paint job that needed fixing like your corolla did. On a brand new paint job I would think that it wouldn't need to be smoothed out, which is what polish does.0
The dealer told me that the curing time is more for non-clearcoated cars. he said that with the baked on paint from the factory and clearcoating that by the time you get it, you should be fine.
As for wax type....have you looked at Zaino?
I have some and will be putting it on our black Matrix soon....supposed to not leave any white residue.0
xr_matrix Posts: 96I use Mequiars 3 step system and it is awesome...step 1 is a cleaner, step 2 is the actual polish and 3 is the carnuaba wax. I like it and it easy to use for the do it yourselfer...my wife bought a 94 corolla which have never and I mean never been waxed. We spent a day on it including 2 steps of cleaning and you would not beleive it was the same car. Some people actually asked if it was new.0
deagled Posts: 20You shouldn't have to wait to wax a new car. The dealer was right about it being fine by the time you get it. Not many cars come without clearcoat now (a few VW's or Honda's with base colors i think).
just my $.02.0
I highly recommend Eagle One's Products - you can wax your car right away -0
Doesn't it have petrolium disstilates in it?0
I don't think it does - I looked at the label and it says it contains "sodium sulfonate" - but I think it's the best car wash I've tried and it's not expensive - I bought 64 ounces for $4.99 recently at Advance Auto Parts - their Wipe and Shine is also very good - I find these products are just as good as the "high end" stuff I ordered from car care websites -0
Why would you guys wanna wax a brand new car in its first day of life? I won't was mine for at least the first 3 to 4 months.
my 0.02 cents0
I have read conflicting opinions on waxing/polishing new cars - I read that it is not necessary to polish a new car within the first 2 years and yet somewhere else I read that it is good to polish it right away (using a mild polish) to remove any contaminants that may have bonded with the paint that a simple wash would not remove - I have not polished my 1 year old car - only washed & waxed - I find that keeping wax on it helps bugs and bird crap and stuff wash off alot easier...I have decided to polish my car once a year (when it's about 2 or 3 years old) and will continue to wash about every 10 days or so - and wax about 3 times a year - so far the Eagle One Wash is my favorite brand - just my 2 cents -0

potroast Posts: 13What have you guys and girls been told of when 2 get your first oil change,by the dealer ?Besides the different opinions you hear .?0
My dealer recommended every 3000 miles even though the manual for my '01 Corolla says every 5000 miles - I think I'll go with every 3000 just to be on the safe side0
Well, According to my dealer, our Matrix and all newer Toyota's are on the same schedule as with our previous Mazda....every 8000KM's. We used this interval for oil changes with our 93 Mazda MX3 and it was the most reliable vehicle we ever owned.0
The manual says every 7500 miles or 6 months. Remember, the dealer will tell you whatever he needs to get you in and payinfg for service more often. I plan to follow the manufacturer's recommendations, and expect to get 10 years and 100,000 miles plus.0
leafguy2727 Posts: 83Hey Tup. Got the same. 8000km or 6 months. I'm all booked in already for August.0
scott31 Posts: 292The owners manual lists the break in period at 1000 miles and says you need to stay under 55mph during that time.
The Vibe manual says that the break in period is 300 or 500 miles, and has no speed limitation (it says not to stay at the same speed for long).
If I go 55mph on the captiol beltway, I'll be killed.....
How religiously should I follow the Toyota break in? Can I subsitute the Vibe one instead?0
I think you're ok to drive over 55 as you won't be exceeding the 4000RPM's by doing so. Perhaps a good idea to vary the speed up somwhat though.0
Folks, here's some advice. For the first oil change, I'd recommend you perform it between 1600 & 2000 Km (1000 - 1250 mi). There is a lot of wear in the engine during this time and its best to keep your oil as clean as possible. Don't let a $20-$30 oil change get in the way of protecting your car. After your initial oil change, I'd recommend you perform regular 5000 km (3000 mi) oil changes, unless you're driving your vehicle over 80 km/hr (50 mi/hr) 80-85% of the time. Frequent stops and short trips don't allow your engine to heat up enough to clean out contaminant effectively. With regular oil changes, your Toyota engine should last well over 300,000 km.
I've managed to get over 375,000 km on all my japanese vehicles (all I've done is use a synthetic oil at 5000 km intervals religiously.
As for break-in of your engine, just drive carefully. Do not allow your engine to lug and do not tow heavy loads. Also, do not drive at constant speeds for long times. Most importantly, make sure you keep changing the load on your engine on a continous basis. Toyota's 1600 km break in is based on how much engine break-in is done during DVT (dynamic vehicle testing)at the assembly plant. GM plants always seem to cycle more during DVT, hence they call for a shorter break-in. I'm sure Toyota would rather err on the side of running a longer break-in. This is why Toyota car's last longer, they don't take as many risks as GM0
Consumer's Reports did a test using Manhattan taxi cabs (kinda the definition of severe service.) They changed some oil every 3000 and some at 4000, some at 5000 and some at 6000 miles. After 100,000 miles, they disassembled each engine and had their engineers go over them with a fine-toothed comb. The result, they could find NO significant difference in wear in any of the engines. There was also no indication that one group experienced more problems during the use time than any other group.
I tend to believe that these recommendations may have been valid at one time, but modern engine and oil technology have made them obsolete, unless you operate an oil change business.
Since I believe that Toyota has a strong interest in preserving their reputation and knows best what their engines require, I plan to follow their recommendations.0
I've read the Consumer's Report article on oil changes a while back and I agree with their analysis. The only thing you must consider when applying their recommendations is that the average car owner doesn't keep their car running for extended periods of time as do cabs.
The largest percentage of wear occurs during start up. While cabs start and shut down frequently (or in some cases just keep at idle when stopped), the regular public parks their car's while at work or over night when home. This allows most of the oil to flow down into the lower extremities of your engine. Thus you don't have the same amount of protection as a car which is run at frequent intervals. Also remember, oils main job is to keep foreign particles away from mating engine parts. Shut your engine for a long periods of time and you'll allow these particles to settle where they can do damage.
In my opinion, I just don't understand why anyone would want to take risks when there's only $20 at stake. Whether someone wants to spend $0.006/mi or $0.004/mi on oil is all up to them. Just remember frequent oil changes reduce the amount of time foreign material stays in your engine.
Good luck!0
num1willis Posts: 3got a quick one, i live on long island were theres too many cars and too few roads. therefore its highly aggressive on the roads. the other day i was driving and had no choice but to floor it. my matrix is at about 400miles. it tach went all the way aboove 6000rpm. i had no choice. what kind of damage is done when you have no choice but to gun it??0
I wouldn't worry too much about gunning your engine once in a while during the break-in phase. The key is not to keep it running at any one sustained speed for long periods of time. You also don't want to keep the car running about 6000 rpm for extended periods of time. The manufacturer's recommended break in is geared to keep us drivers driving conservatively during break in. Actually, if you read the owner's manual it will say that running at high rpm causes high wear. In reality, you'd have to consistently keep driving at high rev's to shorten engine life.
We must all remember to enjoy our vehicles (afterall I don't want to believe that you and I paid good money to [non-permissible content removed] foot the car around), and that sometimes means driving them hard for short periods of time.0
matrix123 Posts: 14Hello,
I just got my Matrix (5-speed, base) about a month ago, and I am having a problem which, I suspect, is related to the clutch.
About a 10 days ago, after I started driving the car, I could smell something like burning rubber. I asked the dealer about it and they told me that I probably burned the clutch and that I should stop riding the clutch. The problem is - I don't. This is not my first manual transmission vehicle and I never had this problem before. Ever since that time, once in a while I can smell burning rubber while I'm driving. Called the dealer - the same story: don't ride the clutch. Am I doing something wrong with the way I change gears (doing lots of city driving), or is there a mechanical problem with the clutch (or something else)?
Any answer will be much appreciated.0
I don't think even Click and Clack could answer this question as posed. IMO, the thing to do is to take the car in to the dealer and have them look at it. Don't accept "it's probably." Problem is, if the clutch is damaged, you may have a heckofa time getting it repaired under warranty. They'll claim you did it, which is probably true for 99% of these kinds of problems.0
8u6hfd Posts: 1,391The burned smell is from an overheated clutch friction material (basically burning the clutch).
What are your driving habits (how you drive, how you engage the clutch, etc)?0
tom3k Posts: 91I used Zaino from day one on my '00 Odyssey and the finish still beads after two+ years (just don't have the time like I used to ;-)). Plan to follow the same process on my Matrix (purchased yesterday) this weekend - wash, dry, clay, wash again (yawn), prep and Z2 (as many coats as time allows, hopefully two or three over the course of the first few days).0
plumberboy Posts: 1Matrix 123, I have also noticed the burning clutch smell with my XRS. Also, like you I have driven numerous vehicles with manual transmissions without incident.
I brought the vehicle back to the dealership and they looked over the clutch and brakes, both checked out fine. This weekend I smelled the odor for the third time while backing up. I plan to bring the vehicle back and get the dealership to look it over and document the problem once again.
There are several comments regarding this same issue over at MatrixOwners.com; http://www.matrixowners.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=65020
jeprox Posts: 466every new car i've owned always have that smell come out once. it's usually when i go uphill. makes no difference if it's a manual or automatic tranny. strange though that the smell only comes out once. no, i dont floor it going uphill or pull a trailer.
so far on my 03' corolla, no smell yet. just picked it up last week.
do any of you find the engine noise on the 03' corolla is a bit loud, specially during warm-up? sounds like an old car!0
vlanman25 Posts: 49I noticed the same smell once on my new 03 Corrola backing up with a high rev (stuck in a depression). Not sure what to make of it, should I be worried?
Engine noise is fine.. a lot more quiet than the Cavalier it replaced.
I do have an annoying little creek coming from the rear trunk area. Anyone else noticed this?0

ST. LOUIS, MO --This is why your mother says to wash your hands after handling money. An employee of DoodyCalls Pet Waste Removal in St. Louis says he recently found $58 packed in dog poop, then returned the cash to the pooch's owner.
But Steve Wilson says he sanitized the bills first.
Wilson says he wasn't sure what to do when he first noticed money sticking out from the doggie doo. But after pulling out the cash and cleaning it, he placed it in a plastic zip-locked bag and gave it back to the customer.
The Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists says Wilson is the first person in his profession to find and report money in dog poop.

Jazz Guitarist Jack Wilkins Plays Ella's (April 23rd, 2007) The lights dim, the audience waits with expectation, and then, those first magical notes. Jazz guitar master Jack Wilkins begins many songs with a carefully crafted intro using exquisitely tapped overtones before engaging the lead with a picked chord melody style that could only be called "plectricity".
Jack Wilkins on guitar.Wilkins gave a guitar seminar at Ella's in downtown Spokane on Saturday, April 21, followed by an evening showcase starting at nine and keeping time until one in the morning.
Having played with many jazz greats including Stanley Turrentine, Jimmy Heath, The Mingus Epitaph, and bassist Eddie Gomez, as well as with singers Mel Torme, Ray Charles, Morgana King, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett, The Manhattan Transfer, Nancy Marano and Jay Clayton, Wilkins has the chops. Brian Flick on bass. Tom Shagger on drums.
Playing his own Jack Wilkins Signature Model Benedetto, Wilkins was accompanied by Brian Flick on bass and Tom Shagger on drums. Flick is the Operations Manager and Jazz Coordinator for Spokane radio station KPBX 91.1 FM and can be heard live from 1-4 p.m. Fridays. Flick is an extraordinary bassist and made an excellent playing partner for Wilkins. Shagger's sense of timing was impeccable and there were many moments when he and his stagemates would engage in call-and-answer techniques. His creative use of brushes on cymbals made for a compelling sound like echoing rain.
The Ella's experience: Jack Wilkins on guitar, Brian Flick on bass, and Tom Shagger on drums were enjoyed by a full house of jazz enthusiasts.
Wilkins' music is sweet to the ears, but he's also fun to watch. It's easy to see what a good time he's having when he breaks out in a wide grin while he plays. There's a lot of eye contact between him and his stagemates, a lot of listening going on, and unspoken communication through gestures, nods and the music itself.
The songs included "Moon River", "The Shadow Of Your Smile", "Skylark", "All The Things You Are", and many others.
Wilkins made a good show of announcing each song and saying just a little about it, to help set the mood for the piece. He also joked a bit with the audience and let his personality show through.
"You know I'm from New York. I don't really sound like it, but I can lay it on if you want," Wilkins said. The audience wanted to hear the accent. "Fuhgeddaboutit," was the response. The audience had a good chuckle.
The show included a superlative solo playing on "Here's That Rainy Day", which strongly featured his incredible overtone work.
"People are really fascinated by the overtones," Wilkins said. "They really quiet down and concentrate on them."
Toward the end of the evening, Wilkins asked a couple guests to sit in. First up was locally famous classical vocalist Bob Roberts, singing "Someone To Watch Over Me". Although this was the first time Roberts had sung the Gershwin classic in public, he's no stranger to the genre. In 2000, Roberts sang Bing Crosby hits with the Spokane Opera Guild for a special event. The Lair at Spokane Community College was made up to look like an historic live radio broadcast from L.A.'s Cocoanut Grove nightclub at the Ambassador Hotel.
Wilkins' second special guest was the renowned Spokane guitarist Ken Luker. Demonstrating his Wes Montgomery influence, he played a Hofner Verithin with soulful depth on "Four On Six", a piece actually based on the changes to Gershwin's "Summertime". Luker played it with a passion that invoked the memory of Montgomery. Wilkins enjoyed the performance as much as the audience did.
When the evening was finished, the trio was saluted with a standing ovation. There were almost as many people still in the club at closing time as when the concert began, and that was a packed house.
Ella's Supper Club plays host to many jazz musicians, both local and visiting. They maintain a schedule of upcoming performances at their website. Ella's is located in downtown Spokane, Washington in the CenterStage building, 3rd floor. Wilkins' visit was made possible by the Jazz Guitar Society of Spokane.
