The Best Films of 2014/
Hey, it's another best-of list! There are many such lists on the internet, but this one is mine and therefore the most accurate.
(Kidding, obviously. Something something taste is subjective.)
I saw a lot of movies over the course of the past year, and there are plenty of fine films that didn't make the list. Additionally, there are quite a few films I missed over the past year, because I am a mere mortal bound by the laws of space and time. All of that said, here are my picks for the twenty best films of 2014.
20. Force Majeure: Ruben Ostland's sly, expertly-directed film offers a tense relationship drama in the form of a nerve-jangling thriller. Gone Girl does the same thing, but this one achieves similar tension (and dark humor, for that matter) without murdering anyone. Smart visual storytelling, effectively surprising classical music selections, persuasive performances and lacerating dialogue join forces to deliver a riveting experience. The final reel or so struggles with murky symbolism, but this is one of the year's strongest foreign exports.
19. Listen Up Philip: At a glance, this looks like the ultimate "upper-class white male New York academia" movie, a category which already has too many entries. Indeed, that's the audience most likely to actually a watch a film like this, but the movie savagely bites the hands that feed it. It's a merciless deconstruction of a very particular sort of individual, effectively puncturing the self-sustained image of influential men who mistake cruelty for honesty. Jason Schwartzman (as the self-absorbed title character), Elisabeth Moss (as his long-suffering girlfriend) and Jonathan Pryce (as Schwartzman's Philip Roth-esque mentor) turn in terrific performances, and Alex Ross Perry's lo-fi direction favorably resembles the work of John Cassavettes. Plus, like so many other films featured on this list, it has a knockout punch of an ending.
18. Selma: All of the 2014 historical dramas nominated for Best Picture have been overpraised to some degree, but Ava Duvernay's passionate examination of the Civil Rights Movement is the best of the bunch. Like Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, it's an imperfect yet important film which provides an invaluable examination of a crucial moment in American History. David Oyelowo's portrait of Martin Luther King, Jr. is persuasive enough to be termed "definitive," while Duvernay's staging of the protest sequences demonstrate that she has a gift for maintaining intimacy and specificity in the midst of large-scale spectacle. It's a thought-provoking, relevant, soulful analysis of a cultural revolution.
17. X-Men: Days of Future Past: Is it possible for a single film to redeem an entire franchise? Perhaps not, but Bryan Singer's return to the X-Men series comes awfully close. Drawing assorted bits and pieces from the entire franchise's fractured history (even the cringe-inducing X-Men: The Last Stand), Days of Future Past builds on everything the X-Men movies have done right while avoiding almost all of the usual pitfalls. Singer pulls off multiple impressive feats at once: he successfully fuses his own somber, meditative voice with the energetic stylishness of Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class, he delivers a thoroughly satisfying adaptation of a beloved story, he fixes problems caused by previous installments and lays a strong foundation for the future. On top of all of that – and even more importantly – he delivers a surprisingly moving conclusion that made me realize how much affection I still had for these characters. At long last, this series has lived up to its potential.
16. The Homesman: Tommy Lee Jones' latest effort behind the camera quickly establishes itself as an amiably bittersweet western, but takes a sharp left turn once it enters the third act. Boasting Hilary Swank's best work in years and an atypically spry, lively performance from Jones himself, the film feels like the weathered antithesis to much of the blandly uplifting period drama fare currently populating the awards season landscape (a landscape that this film hasn't really been a part of). It's a challenging, occasionally wrenching film which once again demonstrates the actor/director's willingness to confront hard, relevant truths with clear-eyed honesty.
15. Gone Girl: David Fincher's latest is every bit as stylish and polished as his adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but this time around he's working with considerably stronger source material. It plays like a feature-length Twilight Zone episode – no, make that five feature-length Twilight Zone episodes playing simultaneously. Genuinely provocative in a way that mainstream thrillers rarely are, the film digs into uncomfortable, loaded territory and starts smashing things with frightening, hypnotic relish. I get why the film launched hundreds of think pieces - at the very least, it's a movie that picks at some open wounds - but it's hard to find thrillers as confident, nuanced and riveting as this one.
14. Snowpiercer: In so many ways, Snowpiercer feels like the antidote to the humdrum familiarity of modern summer blockbusters. Breathlessly inventive, refreshingly raw and candidly political, Snowpiercer stands alongside director Joon-ho Bong's The Host as a strong argument for the notion that big, action-packed tentpole movies can still contain big ideas, memorable idiosyncrasies and genuine substance. The movie isn't afraid to make bold, distinctive choices (Exhibit A: Tilda Swinton's gloriously loony performance), and it rarely misses.
13. Noah: It's no coincidence that the best Bible movies tend to be the ones people argue about the most, and Darren Aronofsky's latest certainly inspired plenty of arguments. Respecting the source material while simultaneously confronting the tale's challenging subtext, Aronofsky has made the all-too-rare Bible blockbuster which recognizes that pious reverence is the antithesis of compelling filmmaking. Despite some third-act missteps and a disappointingly hammy villain, Noah is the year's finest (and not coincidentally, most ambitious) big-budget spectacle. Plus, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more memorable, gloriously cinematic moment than this film's creation sequence.
12. A Most Wanted Man: Anton Corbijn's adaptation of John le Carre's tense, chilly novel may not offer the visual mastery and clockwork precision of his previous film (the vastly underrated The American), but it does offer an absorbing, moving, refreshingly complex tale of present-day global politics. The film's story is a strong (and angry) one, but the movie will justifiably be remembered as the film containing Philip Seymour Hoffman's last truly great performance. It's a painful thing to watch at times (particularly considering the way elements of the character unintentionally align with Hoffman's own personal struggles), but that was part of what made him great: he was one of cinema's most wondrously human actors. His agonized bellow from the film's climax still haunts me. We lost one of the greats, and we lost him while he was at the top of his game.
11. The Immigrant: James Gray's latest film does what a great historical film should do – providing us with an immersive trip into the past, and using the lessons of the past to inform the present. Handsomely crafted, expertly acted and thoughtfully written, the film offers further evidence that Gray is quickly transforming into a major American filmmaker (previously, he gave us the emotionally overwhelming Two Lovers). The film contains many treasures, including one of the year's most devastatingly perfect lines: "I hate him, and I hate myself. But he's the only one who can help me." It's delivered by one character referring to another, but it's also a line which perfectly summarizes the complicated, need/hate relationship between America and its immigrants.
10. The Babadook: Great horror films have a way of sneaking up on you. While certain favorite films of recent years are movies that I anticipated for months on end (A Serious Man, Tree of Life, Boyhood) due to a combination of festival circuit buzz and my built-in fondness for the filmmakers, most of the great horror films I've seen in the past decade (The Descent, The Orphanage, Let the Right One In) have sprung up out of the shadows like so many big-screen boogeymen. So it was with The Babadook, an Australian import which feels like an instant classic. Like so many great horror films, it's less about the specific onscreen evil (personified by an already-iconic figure with big teeth and a stovepipe hat) than about the metaphorical terrors that evil represents. It's smart, nervy, frightening stuff – doubly so if you're a parent.
9. Only Lovers Left Alive: Here's a vampire movie that reminds us of the genre's rich possibilities, and of Jim Jarmusch's considerable filmmaking talents. Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton do tremendous work as centuries-old bloodsuckers sharing a romantic reunion and seeking a state of existence that satisfies Swinton's joyful hunger for new experiences and Hiddleston's curmudgeonly yearning for days long gone. Likewise, the movie finds a fascinating balance between demonstrating an affection for certain bygone glory days and cautioning against needless (and dishonest) sentimentalization of the past. It's one of the finest films Jarmusch has made, and almost certainly the coolest.
8. Nightcrawler: Less an indictment of TV journalism and more an American Psycho-esque satire of modern business culture, Nightcrawler is one of the year's most squirm-inducing entertainments. Jake Gyllenhall does the finest work of his career to date as the soulless, hungry freelance reporter Lou Bloom, oozing a dangerous energy I've never seen from him before. Dan Gilroy's directorial debut (one of the strongest I've seen in recent years) is savagely funny, unnervingly familiar and mortifyingly gripping. It's funny – and scary – because it's true.
7. Under the Skin: Though Jonathan Glazer's first film in a decade is based on a novel, it offers a level of pure cinematic storytelling that no other medium could have possibly achieved. Stripping the book of most of its tone, dialogue and plot, Glazer delivers an insinuating, unsettling piece of Kubrickian sci-fi that feels as hypnotically alien as its central character. This is masterful audiovisual storytelling, with recurring musical and visual cues subtly underlining crucial ideas in an inventive manner – and yet the story the film tells is a fundamentally simple, affecting fable. The film often feels like a masterful episode of The Outer Limits played at ¼ speed. It's not for everyone, but those who tune into Glazer's wavelength will be rewarded.
6. Inherent Vice: Years from now, I suspect that I'll look back at this list and kick myself for placing Paul Thomas Anderson's stoner-noir-mystery-comedy-tragedy-Pynchon-thingum in this slot, as I'll undoubtedly think that it's either much too high or way too low. For now, let it be said that I'm more or less in love with this wondrous head trip of a film, which resonates strongly (if enigmatically) on a thematic level and which more or less pushes all of my buttons on an aesthetic level. The movie is many things, but like Anderson's last two films, it's largely the story of a complicated relationship between two men trying to find (for reasons which may or may not be pure) some measure of common ground within a vast ideological divide.
5. Whiplash: This is a roaring thunderstorm of a movie that plays like an innovative, musically-charged remake of the first half of Full Metal Jacket. J.K. Simmons delivers the year's most electrifying performance as abusive music conductor Terrence Fletcher, commanding the screen to such a strong degree that he remains a dominant presence even when he's absent. The film asks some thorny questions about the price of attaining greatness, and delivers some equally thorny answers. Damien Chazelle's direction is confident, quick and precise, ensuring that the movie has as much rhythm as the music. Whiplash doesn't just bring you to the edge of your seat – it grabs your throat and slams you against the wall.
4. Calvary: John Michael McDonagh's sophomore feature is one of the most deeply Christian films I've ever seen, which is to say that it embodies the spirit of Christ's teachings to a much greater degree than something like Left Behind or God's Not Dead. Centering on a gruff-yet-tender performance from Brendan Gleeson, the film offers a spiritually resonant parable in the form of an unconventional mystery. It's an imperfect film – it turns its supporting characters into broadly-drawn types for the sake of its potent metaphorical message – but it speaks the truth with empathy, humanity and love. It's the richest sermon I've heard in years.
3. Ida: Austere, quiet and brief, this Polish export strips its story down to the bare essentials and packs a devastating punch as a result. There isn't a single shot, facial expression or camera move that feels wasted or unnecessary – it's a movie that demands and rewards attentiveness and empathy. Its portrait of spiritual angst and doubt rivals that offered by the films in Ingmar Bergman's "Silence of God" trilogy, and it builds to one of the year's subtlest, most powerful conclusions. Ida finds a gentle, honest way to articulate something I have long felt but have never been able to adequately express.
2. The Grand Budapest Hotel: Wes Anderson's latest effort feels both familiar and fresh. Combining the frantic, bustling pace of recent efforts like Fantastic Mr. Fox and Moonrise Kingdom with the deep soulfulness of his earlier efforts, Anderson delivers what may well be his most assured film to date. Centering on a delightful performance from Ralph Fiennes (one of the actor's best, which is saying something), the film delivers so many joyful laughs and inventive sight gags that its fleeting, expertly-timed moments of genuine emotion blindside you. The film concludes with a series of brief shots – cut/cut/cut/credits – and each one contains a torrent of feeling. At a first glance, Anderson's movie looks like one of those elaborate little confections featured so prominently in several scenes - but as one of those scenes suggests, dig in and you'll find something of tremendous value and substance inside.
1. Boyhood: The fact that Richard Linklater's sprawling masterpiece took twelve years to create was a central part of its marketing campaign, but the movie is so much more than a lofty gimmick. With tenderness and precision, it captures every stage of a child's journey to adulthood by placing the emphasis on the sort of moments other movies ignore. Most of the "big" events - the first kiss, the first big mistake, the first day of the first job, etc. - happen offscreen, as we take a close look at the sort of mundane, everyday moments that often play a crucial role in informing who we are. Though this is a definitively male-centric story (hence the title), it's hard to imagine any viewer not finding something which feels painfully/beautifully/touchingly familiar here (not only in young Mason's life, but in the lives of his parents, so perfectly played by Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke). Combine the wildly ambitious nature of the project with Linklater's patience, creative stability and insightful honesty, and you have a movie which does something I've never seen another movie do: it captures time in a bottle. For the first time, I feel as if I've witnessed life flashing before my eyes - not my own, but one so masterfully captured that it might as well have been. There are other 2014 movies that come closer to "perfection," yet none quite match Boyhood's greatness.

Drake Well MuseumTitusville, PA
This site had oil seeps and pits used by Native Americans and European settlers until 1859 when Edwin Drake struck oil commencing an industry of profound impact. Existing structures included a replica of Drake's drill, vintage drilling equipment, the museum, and a gift shop. There is also a park connected to an operating railroad, bike and hiking trails. The PA Dept. of General Services and the PA Historical and Museum Commission asked PWWG to reorganize the 1964 museum including upgrades to offices, building envelope, and MEP systems. PWWG collaborated with a consultant on new exhibits and renovated the gift shop.
The new Entrance Building has a grand central lobby. An arced walk directs visitors to the new outdoor terrace with gathering space for groups and industrial objects. The lawn is cut in half with a wooden walkway, recalling walkways from muddy 19th century oil fields. Geothermal wells for the Museum's mechanical system are located in this central area. The forms and materials of the new construction draw from traditional 19th and 20th century wood and steel oil rigs.

When you use a weigh crate equipped with a Shearwell Static Reader, antenna and electronic weigh scales, animals are identified fast and weights recorded accurately without any manual input. The animal ID and weights are sent by Bluetooth to the Shearwell Stock Recorder.
The sheep weigh crate has been designed to maximise read efficiency by reducing areas that could cause interference. In trials, 400 more sheep per hour could be weighed and recorded using an electronic weigh crate fitted with a static reader than could be read and recorded manually.
The weigh crate is fitted with a Race Reader, antenna and switcher for fast, accurate automatic identification. It reads all ISO-compliant tags and boluses.
Other weighing systems use the weigh head itself to capture, display and download weight data to a PC. The Shearwell Stock Recorder is far more versatile as it will capture and record all of the information required for management of stock, including the weights. It also allows the user to look up information on animals and record comments against them. 8 week weights, 20 week weights and wean weights can also be recorded.
Together with the Handheld Stock Recorder, the weigh crate can also be used to record movements, treatments, tupping, and adding animals into management groups. Multiple actions can be recorded with one read – weighing, recording a treatment and recording a movement, for example.
FarmWorks by Shearwell Data uses this weight data to help you identify the most productive and efficient stock. You can generate weight gain reports to help compare dams, sires, breeds, management groups or the source of the stock.
Shearwell systems allow you to draft out animals based on any saved criteria as well as by the animal's current weight. The 'in' gate and the multiple 'out' gates are all fully pneumatically-controlled to provide the ultimate in automatic drafting.
Shearwell Data has developed this system using the Handheld Stock Recorder and FarmWorks by Shearwell Data to enable the farmer to identify and draft animals easily. You can draft animals by weight, management group, gender, health problems and breed. And there are many other ways in which animals can be drafted to enable productive animals, or animals with health problems to be selected automatically. These options include the ability to select ewes by the number of lambs produced or by selecting lambs that were one of a double etc.
Drafts are set up on FarmWorks by Shearwell Data and downloaded onto the Handheld Stock Recorder. This communicates with the race reader, the weigh head and the drafting controller by Bluetooth (wirelessly) and sends the commands to the drafting controller to open and close the relevant gates when a tag is read. Sheep can also be drafted by weight after setting up the parameters on the Handheld Stock Recorder.
The drafting crate runs off a compressor and can be powered by mains electricity or by a generator. The reader will read all types of ISO-compliant tags and boluses.
The crate can be supplied running from either left or right to suit your requirements.
Give us a call for more details on 01643 841611.
Shearwell has also developed a low cost drafting system based on the Stock Recorder. This unit uses Bluetooth to connect to a race reader and to Bluetooth enabled earphones. As each animal enters the race, it is identified through its EID. The handheld then sends an audible instruction to the operator who then controls manual gates in the existing race system to direct animals out of the appropriate gate
The handheld unit can be set up to direct each animal out of any of three gates based on any saved information such as animal breed, age, sex, breeding performance etc.
This low cost system enables you to draft out animals based on any saved criteria without the outlay of a fully automatic drafting system.

Qigong (also spelled 'chi kung') can roughly be translated as internal energy cultivation. It is a form of exercise that combines movement, breath and the direction of the mind that dates back more than 4,000 years. A major goal of qigong is the development of the nervous system, which is why it tends to be misunderstood when compared to conventional Western exercise. Typical outcomes from qigong training include improved health and strength, greater freedom of movement, tranquility, patience and happiness.
There are many different types of qigong though they can be broadly divided into three different categories; medical qigong, martial qigong and spiritual qigong. Medical qigong aims to help the body heal itself, martial qigong focuses on developing power whilst spiritual qigong aims to develop awareness and tranquility. A good example of medical qigong is the eight treasures qigong (also known as the eight pieces of brocade), an easy to learn set of eight exercises. Tai chi was originally created as a form of martial qigong, though these days it is practiced mainly for its health benefits.

Union Victory on Retiree Rx Copays
On Friday, March 20, 2015, the Union victory in the fight over raising retiree prescription drug copays without the authority of the Plan Design Committee was finalized.
In 2012, without a resolution of the State Health Benefit Plan Design Committee, the NJ Division of Pensions and Benefits unilaterally implemented increases in retiree prescription copay increases for 2013.
The unions took the state to court and on December 31, 2014 the Superior Court unanimousy ruled in favor of the unions.
On Friday, March 20, 2015, the State Health Benefits Design Committee unanimously voted for a solution that finalized the Superior Court decision that struct down the unilateral management retiree prescription copay increases in the years 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The committee was presented with three possible solutions to rectify the overpayment of copays in the aforementioned years. Unfortunately, the monumental task of calculating payments to each individual member would have resulted in another year of delay in payments to our retirees and owing to medicare regulations some members would have actually owed money to the federal government.
The solution approved provides compensation by reducing or eliminating Rx copays for retirees for the period from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.
Retiree Rx copays and out of pocket maximums will return to the 2012 level as a baseline for negotiating new copays for 2016.
The decision in superior court was a landmark decision, in that it clarifies the authority of the Plan Design Committee to negotiate plans going forward and cuts off management attempts to circumvent the Plan Design Committee.
The terms of Rx copays for retirees for the rest of 2015 are as follows:
For the period from now to June 30, 2015, copays will remain as they are currently.
For the period from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 copays for NJ Direct 10 and 15 (and their Aetna equivalent plans will be:

A Hut (model) – Valley Forge
Huts (model); into frame from Valley Forge National Historical Park, Pennsylvania, USA
This is a model hut (that was built 300 years ago to support army stationed) at Valley Forge National Historical Park >> – look for "The Log Huts from 1777"

Good to know history, isnt? I belive this would be a very good spot to enjoy fall season and would be good choice at short distance for people at New Jersey and New York apart from Pennsylvania. What do you say?

Motorola's big Moto X unveiling is now less than a week out, but anyone that's feeling impatient doesn't have to wait until then to get a look at what's said to be the final design of the new device. That's because @evleaks just shared what's said to be the "final" press images for both the black and white versions of the Moto X. The device itself doesn't look all that different from the one shown in previous leaks, but these new shots do have a bit more polish to them and offer a clear look at the front, rear and sides of the X.
There have been quite a few Moto X leaks ever since the device was first confirmed by Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside in May. The most recent reports claim to have pegged the full spec list for the X, which will reportedly feature a 4.7-inch 720p display with on-screen navigation keys, 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 10.5-megapixel rear and 2.1-megapixel front cameras, 2GB RAM and a 2,200mAh battery. The Moto Xs that've been in testing lately have been powered by Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
One of the main draws of the Moto X is expected to be its customizability. Motorola has teased that the phone is the first that users can design themselves, and it's rumored that consumers will be able to select the colors of their Moto X's front and rear plate and engrave the unit as well. One important detail that's still up in the air is pricing, but it's been said that Motorola is working to make the Moto X an affordable device. The good news is that it won't be long before all is revealed. Until then, go ahead and ogle the images above (with a larger version in the gallery below) to help you decide if you want your Moto X in black, white or some other color altogether.

My name is Eric and I really know very little about birds.
There, I've said it. Like a confession at a "name-your-additiction"anonymous meeting, it's said and done and out in the open. Now, let me explain a bit.
Backstory… (skip to This Site if you want the nitty gritty)
Born and raised in Southern Oregon my whole family loved the outdoors in various aspects. As I grew, my focus became mountain biking, hiking, camping, snowboarding and the like. My father was a hunter, sister a camper, mom a beachcomber, grampa a gardener and grannie a birdwatcher. I actually understood most of their pursuits except the birdwatching. I mean, how boring. Seriously, when you could be hiking or biking or actually doing something, why just sit there and watch for birds.
Then one day my dad mentioned to me that eventually, when the work of hiking through hill and dale and carrying whatever he managed to shoot got to be too much for him, he'd probably put down his guns and pick up a camera.
And I realized then that it wasn't the "doing" that was important, but the "being".
Just being outdoors, closer to nature in a quieter place than our modern world, left at peace with your thoughts. Doesn't matter what you enjoy doing, just the being in the outside that is important.
Well, my grandmother passed some time ago and I never got to spend time birdwatching with her, which I regret. However, I do run a number of websites, one of them which is MountainsToday.com, and when I saw that SiskiyouBirds.org was expiring and up for sale, I figured that it'd be a nice site to run that wasn't too far out of my realm of experience, my grandmother having been a birdwatcher after all. So I bought it.
And then I realized I knew very little about birds. Or birdwatching.
This Site…
I am not a scientist, botanist, naturalist, avian specialist or anything of the sort. I'm not technically adept at much of anything, including website work. However I am trying to educate myself about these things. I also feel that the Siskiyous of Southern Oregon and Northern California are a great place to live, visit and simply "be" in. My goal for this site is two fold. First, educate people (including myself) about not only the numerous kinds of birds that inhabit this wonderful area, but also about the area itself. There is much to see and learn if you only look around. Second I plan to develop this site into a resource for birdwatching in general with a focus on those new to the activity, but hopefully with something for everyone.
Feel free to stick around and check things out, leave a comment here or there or send me an email. I admit I'm not the best at replying to emails, but they all get read. I also admit that I am usually trying to juggle more than I can realistically deal with at one time, so if this site isn't updated as often as you wish, then I apologize. Gentle prodding works, ask my wife, but rants get iced out.
Finally, as I mentioned, I am an expert on precious few things in this world and birds and all things avian certainly isn't one of them. I am a budding enthusiast, however. Information from this site is going to be gathered from a variety of sources. It'll all get filtered through my melon head and then put down in my own words and with my own style. If I lift too generously from a source I'll attribute it, but otherwise not. (I'm a published English professor and hate it when others steal my work or when my students try to put one over on me, so I'll be pretty good about that.) Pictures will also be sourced from a variety of, well, sources and attributed as accurately as I can. If I end up using one of your pictures and didn't give you credit, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. If I use your photo and you'd rather I didn't, please let me know and I'll pull it down right away. I have no interest in theft of other's work and won't tolerate theft of my own.
Lastly, websites take time and money. I may have links to various commercial sites, primarily Amazon, when discussing commercial products. Many of these will give me a small percentage of the purchase price if purchased after clicking a link on my site. I appreciate any purchases made, but am not encouraging or begging you to do so. If I make no money from this site and it all comes from my own pocket, that's fine. If I make boatloads of cash, so much so that I can retire to Belize and watch amazing tropical birds the rest of my days, well, so be it. I'll invite you all down for my world famous pancakes when that happens.
But for now, back to the birds…
ps – my pancakes aren't actually world famous, but I have made them for people in more than one country on more than one continent. So, yeah, they're known world-wide.
pps – the "BirdMaster" title I've elected to give myself is really just a stupid joke (like all of mine are, my wife would say) that popped into my head when installing this site. Kind of like "The Beastmaster" the awesome 1982 movie starring Marc Singer, Tanya Roberts and Rip Torn. Which is really awesome simply because it is so bad. So instead of the Beastmaster, I'm the BirdMaster. Which I'm not. Which makes it funnier, right? I think my wife is right, my jokes are bad.

A cold case murder is just warming up
It's an ordinary day in Summer Breeze, Florida when a young, wide-eyed girl steps into I Saw It First, the trash-to-treasure shop Christy Castleman and her Aunt Bobbie have opened. Clutching a jewelry box, Zeffie Adams tells Christy she needs money to pay for Grandmother's medical bills, prompting Christy to offer this curious visitor more than the jewelry box is worth -- or so she thinks.
But complicated questions form when Christy rips out the box's lining and uncovers a clue to a cold case murder mystery from eight years ago. Despite caution from her family and handsome boyfriend Dan Brockman, Christy decides to do a little detective work of her own. After all, the infamous murder happened close to her grandmother's farm. How risky could it be to take the jewelry box back to Strickland plantation and ask around about it?
Soon Christy finds there is more to the small box than someone wants her to know. A jewelry theft. A mansion murder. Dangerous family secrets buried in history. Can Christy convince others to let go of the past before it's too late?
My Review:
published in 2008
My thanks to my public library for keeping me supplied in quality retro reads
An enthralling cozy mystery sweetened with faith and romance. Little Zeffie is a scene stealer all the way through. Absolutely love where this story takes her. And Christy has the perfect inquiring mind so necessary for an amateur sleuth. Yes, it drives her parents and boyfriend a little crazy, but they love her anyway. And so did this reader as I followed her exploits -- asking questions, chasing down clues, facing danger -- right along with her. The perfect page-turner of a mystery to curl up with on a chilly autumn evening (or any other time.)
When Zeffie Got a Clue is the third book in this cozy mystery series. Though it was preceded by When the Sandpiper Calls and When Bobbie Sang the Blues -- two books I haven't read -- I had no trouble following along with this one. Zeffie reads perfectly fine as a standalone -- other then the progression of the romance, I guess, which would have developed throughout all the books. But nothing to spoil this read.
If you would like a chance to win a copy of When Zeffie got a Clue, leave a comment below or email me at kavluvstoreadATyahooDOTca. If you add your email to a comment, remember to use AT and DOT instead of @ and . in order to protect yourself from spammers. If you enter the draw via email, please add the title to the subject line so it's easy for me to spot your entry. Draw will be held and winner announced on Sunday October 8 2017. Offer open to International Readers. Good luck!

'Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.' Benjamin Franklin
The best way to learn is through hands on experience whilst having fun! All sessions designed by dietitian and mum of four, Kate Wengier, so you can be sure it's healthy. But sessions are much more than cooking, they are about inspiring kids to enjoy healthy foods. It's the what and WHY of eating. Sessions are designed to engage young people to have fun through involvement in a multi-sensory, entertaining and educational experience of healthy food.
"The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience"
Sessions are great for kids 3-12.
Contact us for more information
Kate's ability to make cooking both FUN and EDUCATIONAL engaged not only our young students but adult staff as well. Kate is informative, colourful and hands on and the children were active and responsive participants. Thank you Kate. I highly recommended 'Foost'.
Elly Levis. Teacher.
"Today was great fun. All the kids had a ball and my son (who HATES veggies) was 'courageous' and gave them a shot. Thankyou so much to the colourful chef and all your helpers for such a great time."

Maui Kayak Adventures
Escape from the crowds, buses and tour boats to see Maui from an ocean perspective!
Maui Kayak Adventure Video
Discover Maui's best kept secret!
For your premier kayak, snorkel and whale watching adventure.
We take you to the best locations off Maui that are nothing short of spectacular!
Explore, connect, respect
In the heart of the Makena Coastline is the iconic "Maui Turtle Town"! As you can gather from the name this area, on Maui's southern shore, is very populated with Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles. However, Turtle Town is not one reef, its a several mile long stretch of ocean that encompasses more than a dozen reefs and snorkel spots. Most of the LARGE snorkel boats go to the same two reefs in Turtle Town, and we'll definitely keep you away from them!
On a kayak snorkel tour in Turtle Town your guide has flexibility to take you as far or close as you want to paddle to see Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles.
Kayaking at Olowalu beneath the back drop of Mauna Ka Halawai, or West Maui Mountains as they are commonly referred is a great choice year round. Enjoy views of Haleakala, Molokini Crater, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai and Hawaii (Big Island) on a clear day!! Enjoy secluded whale watching, away from the large whale watch tour boats and BIG group kayak companies swarming Makena and Wailea, during our winter months of December through April.
The rest of the year Olowalu Reef, or "Mile marker 14" as its sometimes known by visitors who are told to look for the marker to pull off the highway and snorkel, offers incredible snorkeling and is home to some of Hawaii's healthiest reef system. A turtle cleaning station is frequently visited by Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles looking to have their shells cleaned by the tropical fish and cleaner shrimp in the area. Large schools and a variety of colorful reef fish make this one of Maui's visitors favorite place to snorkel.
Available seasonally June – August
Kayaking in Kapalua on Maui's upper west side is like taking a step back in time to old Hawaii. We leave from Honokahua beach, commonly knowns as DT Flemmings, in front of the Ritz Carlton Kapalua. Limited development and the recent preservation of coastal land has left the rugged coastline of Kapalua nearly untouched. As you enjoy a strong paddle through headwinds to Mokuleia Beach and bay, commonly known as Slaughter House, you'll find sea turtles popping up along the way to warm their shell in the sun or eating algae from the lava rock outcroppings.
Spinner dolphins also sometimes join us for our paddle around the corner to Honolua Bay, translated as "Two Bays", which was designated as a Marine Life Conservation District in 1978. Enjoy an abundance of tropical fish while snorkeling in these protected bays, tucked away from the wind. Speaking of the wind, we won't shy away from the fact that this isn't the ideal location for everyone.A strong head wind makes for a challenging paddle to Honolua Bay, but if you can make it there you'll definitely be rewarded with a marine life along the way and while snorkeling.
Available seasonally January – March
Everyone knows that when it comes to the best whale watching in the world Maui is the top of the list. However (fortunately for you) only a select few know the best way to get you there is on a self-powered kayak! No engine or crowd noise, no diesel fumes…. just you, the swoosh of your paddle through the water and the Humpback Whales! There just isn't a comparable experience to seeing a humpback whale up close and personal on an ocean kayak. Sometimes you can even hear their singing echoing through the hull of your kayak. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you in the right direction, based on current weather and whale sightings, for the best location of your kayak whale watch adventure. Our passionate ocean guides are marine naturalist certified and have a ton (pun intended) of information to share with you about Humpback whale migration, population, behaviors and more.
Took the 3 hour group Makena landing tour. We also did the road to Hana, Feast of Lele Luau and Pearl Harbor tour, All fantastic. But all these activities did not compare to the Makena Landing tour. This is a must do. Your guide will be lead you on a great adventure/ education of marine and Hawaiian life style.
My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic time with Curtis at Maui Kayak Adventures. We always felt safe and never rushed. Curtis took his time with us, explaining about some history, landmarks, and, of course, the sea life. He made sure we saw the turtles, some great reefs, and colorful fish. He is also a photographer and took some awesome pictures of our trip…
My wife and I were celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary on the islands of Kauai and Maui. It has always been her dream to come during humpback whale season to see these majestic mammals. I booked a private sea kayaking tour through Maui Kayak Adventures, and I am so glad that I did. They were outstanding…

Multiculturism is a luxury, especially to immigrants, to whom being assimilated and accepted in the adopted land is often a far cry. The melting pot in Ha Jin's new collection, "A Good Fall," resembles a simmering Chinese hot pot, where varied ingredients complement each other in flavor, yet each keeps its distinct taste, rather than a smooth and well-blended broth.
All 12 stories in the collection unfurl in the United States – mostly in New York – and explore Chinese immigrants. His characters span a wide range: men and women, young and old, intellectuals and blue collars, rich and poor. Despite contrasts in status and background, these people, unmoored and often lonely, face equally the precariousness of life and clashes between the past and the present, familial duties and personal desires, and the Chinese-ness and the American-ness.
For some of Jin's characters, taking root in America is the top priority. In "Shame," Mr. Meng, a Chinese professor, decides to stay in the United States illegally because he believes "a human being should live like a bird, untrammeled by any man-made orders." To earn a living, he becomes a busboy and, when tracked down, he escapes to Mississippi, resolving to "live in complete obscurity, dead to the world." In "The House Behind a Weeping Cherry," a garment worker and his lover, a prostitute, run away from pimps and gangs, dreaming of starting their life anew.
Some other characters are more socially and economically established yet cannot seem to shake off their cultural baggage. In "Choice," when Eileen Lin must choose between a lover and her jealous daughter, she picks the latter because she simply cannot let her down. A similar dynamic plays out in "In the Crossfire," in which Tian Chu sacrifices his lucrative accounting job to stop the endless squabbling between his carping mother and his wife, instead of confronting his mother, who once shouts at his wife, "Don't ever talk back to me in front of others!"
In tackling the cultural awkwardness immigrants often experience, Jin is straightforward at times, subtle and ironic at other times. In "An English Professor," Rusheng agonizes absurdly over the misspelled word "respectly" in his report to the college tenure committee. Dreading humiliation among his colleagues and the Chinese community, he considers becoming an encyclopedia salesman, even a monk. When he finally gets tenure, he goes berserk. Is he simply paranoid or do apprehension and uncertainty haunt the edges of an immigrant's subconscious? In "A Composer and His Parakeets," the love-deprived and lonely Fanlin seeks comfort in a dumb parakeet. When the bird dies, Fanlin's grief inspires him to write an emotionally fraught opera.
Although Chinese-ness rules throughout this collection, Jin emphasizes Americanness, a seeming homage to his own 24 years of observations and ruminations as an immigrant. His characters, regardless of their miseries and misfortunes, are eager to negotiate with the threatening situation and to take advantage of the newly discovered freedom in America at all levels – financially, politically, socially and psychologically. The narrator in "A Pension Plan" says, "I'm not sure if I'll be able to learn enough English to live a different life, but I must try." Her statement echoes the author's sentiment in a 2000 interview: "When I made the decision to write in English only, I was determined to travel all the way, no matter how tough, how solitary it was."
In embracing Americanness, Jin occasionally stumbles into pedantry, heightened in the title story when the protagonist is told that America is "a land ruled by law, and nobody is entitled to abuse others with impunity," and also in "Temporary Love," when Panbin, preferring a Ukrainian woman he barely knows over his old lover, declares that he won't date a Chinese again because "every Chinese has so much baggage of the past," too heavy for him to "share and carry."
"A Good Fall" is a departure, in terms of setting, from Jin's three earlier collections, which focus on the Chinese people before the 1990s, when China strengthened its openness and reform efforts. But his masterful storytelling persists – meticulous, droll, convincing, populated with memorable characters – not to mention the indelible portrait of an immigrant life he gives us. What is also consistent is his prowess to study and reveal, often with heartfelt humor, the compromised and damaged heart and soul, and the impact of time and history on ordinary people.

Meet Sydney Michael, 7 days old. She is the daughter of my good friend Jessica and I literally could not wait for her to be born! I was so thrilled to meet her and even more excited to be able to capture her most precious moments while she was peacefully asleep. Sydney is absolutely beautiful and cuddly (just like her Mama) and it was so fun to dress her up. She was so easy to work with – very moldable and that is not easy to come by.
I spent a couple hours the night before the photography session custom designing some hair accessories just for her (I seriously have the best job!). . .
Thanks so much Jess for giving us the opportunity to have a photo shoot with your little angel. XO

The following is a letter from a man named Mike Parker whose daughter, Heather, received 3D Lasik from Dr. Ming Wang in late June. The surgery was a success and Heather now has near perfect vision after being legally blind all of her life.
It is now 2:00 PM 6/27/17. Twenty-three hours ago my daughter, Heather, was and had been since birth. as far as we know, legally blind without optical help. Today, after your 3D Lasik Laser surgery, she seems to have near perfect vision. You, Sir, are undoubtedly one of the most amazing individuals that I have ever met. Your life story is incredible. God seems to put a few of you guys here on earth from time to time to help humanity along. You have the most wonderful job. You are able to help people in the most graphic of ways. To clearly see the world around them, even sight from total darkness.
As my daughter and I were talking with your front desk receptionists a voice was heard to cry out in your surgical room. We all looked at each other and wondered what that was all about. Was someone in severe pain? I looked at my daughter to see her reaction to the scream. She looked frightened as she was already apprehensive about having the Lasik surgery. Suddenly your office door opened and this lady came bursting, screaming with joy, into the reception area looking for her loved ones to tell them the news that her prayers had been answered, that God had restored her sight. She was beside herself!!! Again I looked at my daughter and this time she was crying… Tears of joy for this lady who also had the blessing of meeting Dr. Ming Wang and was healed of the affliction of blindness. She claimed it to be a miracle and after thinking about that situation for almost 24 hours, I agree with the lady. It is, you are creating miracles every day, affecting millions of lives in a wonderfully positive lasting way. You have seemingly tried to be your very best in life, in God's eyes, and you are a blessed man. As my favorite pastor, Allen Jackson, loves to say " God is Great ALL The Time", I agree.
Heather and I looked into other offices that performed Lasik. We looked you up on the internet. Heather asked her friends and mother about who would be the best doctor. Heather's mother even works for an Optometrist that performs Lasik procedures in another city where we could get a greatly discounted price, but we both felt that you, Dr. Wang, were the doctor we wanted. I was introduced to you originally back in 2005 by my good friend Barry Dotson. Little did I know what that meeting with you would turn into for me later in life. You and God restored my daughter's sight and I will not be bashful to let anyone know how wonderful this is. You have my greatest respect.
Heather and I had a wonderful experience with your entire staff. It could not have been better. Totally professional in every way. Your offices are beautiful, neat and clean.
I will be on vacation with Heather for the next few days visiting our family in Texas. I am so confident in your skills now that I would like to have you correct my only good eye, as I lost about 90% vision field in my fellow eye 11 years ago, removing a cataract and performing your miracle on me as well. I can't wait.
You, sir, are a work of art and I thank God for a man like you.
Mike Parker

Recognize the hand that drew that cartoon? What's that about? What's it mean?
So here before you is HK's case that FDR was this brilliant leader who changed the course of the country more than anyone but Lincoln, taking his isolationist people into the recognition of the need of war.
"perspicacious". How many of you looked that one up?
The analysis of the isolationists vs. interventionists, at beginning, is interesting. They basically agreed the Monroe Doctrine gave the US control over the western hemisphere and the League could not require the US to engage in any military type of activity outside of the west.
FDR here, is interestingly not compared to the Bismarcks and the Disraelis in Kissinger's Realpolitik Hall of Fame. Why not?
You would do well to do a timeline here. The Quarantine speench, the Neutrality Acts. Anschulss with Austria, CZ… how does he react? What evidence does HK use to show FDR was really, by a certain time, clearly an interventionist? And why is he not (or is he?)apparently in HK's "Realpolitik" Hall of Fame?

For the final "Education Day" matinee of the season, the Lexington Legends solved a math puzzler Wednesday.
When does zero multiplied by three and divided by nine equal one?
When three Legends combine for nine innings of walk-free baseball, paving the way for one big win — 6-3 over the West Virginia Power.
A crowd of 6,502, mostly school kids, came to Applebee's Park for a 10:06 a.m. start.
Robby Donovan (5-4) gave up two runs, one earned, and six hits over six innings. He struck out four.
Arcenio Leon added 12⁄3 innings of one-run, three-hit ball and two strikeouts.
After a 39-minute rain delay, Kirk Clark worked a perfect 11⁄3 innings, fanning two, to earn his ninth save.
Donovan, who is 4-1 over his last five starts, settled in after giving up a run in each of the first two innings.
"He didn't have a good warm-up just prior to the game, and (Rick) Aponte, the pitching coach, was telling me that (Donovan) was a little up," Manager Rodney Linares said. "But he made adjustments, and baseball's a game of adjustments, and he did a fine job for us."
Held to an infield single through three innings, the Legends broke loose against Brandon Holden (0-4) to plate two runs in the fourth and three in the fifth. Lexington finished with 13 hits, led by Jonathan Meyer with three. Jose Altuve, J.D. Martinez, Jake Goebbert and Grant Hogue each had two hits.
"Get a guy on, somebody gets a hit, the next guy's most likely going to get a hit on our team," Meyer said. "When we're having fun, nobody can stop us. We're a great team."
Trailing 2-0, Martinez started the fourth-inning rally with a single high off the right-field wall.
One out later, Goebbert lined a run-scoring double down the right-field line.
Meyer brought Goebbert home with a single to right.
By then, Donovan found his groove, "settling down, throwing the pitches where I need to throw them and getting outs."
"The fastball's working good," he said. "I'm hitting the inside corner a lot, and my sliders have all been (spotting), so that works, too."
Altuve led off the fifth with a double, and Miguel Arrendell bunted for a single.
When Arrendell stole second, the throw by catcher Patrick Irvine carried into center field. That allowed Altuve to score. Arrendell took third and kept going when center fielder Evan Chambers air-mailed a throw to third base.
Martinez then singled, later scoring from second on Meyer's base hit.
Altuve added a solo home run to left in the eighth.
The Power scored once in the eighth. Aaron Baker doubled, then moved around on a pair of groundouts.

It's been many years since I have been "alone". Recently my wife decided she was no longer in love with me, as well as telling me she wanted off the Rhys roller coaster. I told her from the very beginning how I was and what to expect, I even went as far to tell her that she would not be able to handle me. Somehow she convinced me that she in fact would be and could handle me and all of my "crazy". We got married, and a year and a half later she dropped the 'I cannot live like this' bomb. So that left me here, alone.
I first moved in with some friend as far as I could get away from her, but that didn't pan out too well so I ended up moving home with my family. That being said, I like to say that I'm alone, but when it comes down to it, am I? Sure I'm single, but am I really alone? I don't really think so. I keep myself busy and I keep myself feeling needed by meeting everyone in the houses needs to the best of my abilities. So, no I don't think I'm truly alone, I don't know how to be. The longest I have been single since my first girlfriend was 3 years, but even then I wasn't alone. Then like now, I moved home to be with my family. So I have to face fact and admit, I cannot be alone. That doesn't mean I can't be single, although I hate it with a passion. For the first time since my dating career started, I have no interest in a relationship, casual or serious. I am not sure why this time is different but it is, and my mental health is caught in limbo because of it. Part of my brain is slightly relieved the other is causing serious panic and stress. I'm not fully alone, but at the same time I am very alone. There is no one around who can relate or really understand what my brain is doing. No one to really talk about it with or bounce my irrational thoughts off of.
Right now I'm without a therapist or real mental health help, and that it making it more difficult. I feel very alone and isolated even when I don't have much time where I am by myself. The worst time and the time that makes me really feel empty and alone is when it's time to go to sleep. There are times where I lay there for hours upon hours while my mind thinks up insane thoughts and takes over all of my emotions and send me into panic attacks when I realize I'm the only one laying in this bed, in the dark. So as much as I am not alone physically, I feel completely and utterly alone and isolated from the world. No one to understand or relate to what I am feeling or going through. No one to talk to or make a connection with, just me and the darkness.

Rufous Hummingbird & Fireweed
(Nature Studies series)
9″ x 12″ ink, pencil & paint on paper. 2015.
This original mixed media artwork on heavy watercolor paper showcases two of my favorite summer visitors. I once lived in a cabin perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. The kitchen window faced the mountainside, where there was a thick patch of these fireweed flowers in July and August. I'd linger at the sink under the window just to watch the hummingbirds zipping among the flowers, enjoying the nectar.

With the relaunch of the website, TaroWorks' branding is rejuvenated and targeting more qualified leads. TaroWorks CRM software is built with the aim to help nonprofit organizations with field teams working in remote areas. Their mobile app allows field teams to efficiently collect data and process jobs while staying connected to the global headquarters. We're excited to partner with TaroWorks and help spread the awareness of their advanced tools in the nonprofit world.
Rooted in social entrepreneurship
TaroWorks is bridging the gap between the nonprofit and tech sector, by providing a mobile CRM software. TaroWorks began as a startup initiative within the Grameen Foundation, the nonprofit dedicated to helping the world's poorest people reach their full potential, connecting their determination and skills with the resources they need. They saw a lack of technology infrastructure within the nonprofits and social enterprises. Launched in 2013, TaroWorks has now reached more than 90 social enterprises and nonprofit organizations across 30+ countries, supporting over 200,000 micro-entrepreneurs and improving the lives of over 3 million of the world's poor. With their advanced and robust CRM software, TaroWorks hopes that nonprofits will let data drive their operations decisions.
Rebranding TaroWorks
The TaroWorks team wanted to refresh their branding and use less technical jargon when discussing for their robust software. Verbal+Visual refreshed their logo by brightened their brand colors and created custom iconography to explain their unique features and applications.
Generating more leads
Additionally, TaroWorks wanted their new site to attract more qualified leads. With a built-in application within Salesforce, new clients have to subscribe to the Salesforce program first as well as have the budget for tech software. To tackle the challenge, Verbal+Visual designed a dynamic pricing page that includes animation and breaks down the custom pricing tiers from small to larger organizations. Also, we included a contact form to every web page to ensure an opportunity to reach out to leads as they browse the site.
We are very proud of the end result. Check out the new site at taroworks.org!

And MAVEN is off!
MAVEN is on its way! Although it was touch and go with the weather as the start of the launch window approached, the Atlas V rocket carrying NASA's next Mars explorer blasted off exactly on time. The sky was cloudy but calm at 1:28 PM EST as the spacecraft hurtled towards space to the cheers of the thousands of supporters with whom I watched.
We'll have more coverage of the mission in the coming days (once I get real internet access again!), but watching today's launch made me think about human achievement in broader terms. While today's events were by no means routine, they are a far cry from the world-gripping spectacles of the past. And even though rocket launches may never truly become mundane, many of the technologies that make them possible certainly have.
It was barely 50 years ago that early Atlas rockets carried some of America's first astronauts to orbit. Now we have all but perfected the design. Today's launch marked the 41st successful Atlas V launch in 41 tries. And, it was only 115 years ago that James Dewar first liquified hydrogen at the culmination of a multinational race to chill the lightest element. Now we can pump tons of the stuff into a rocket even on a hot Florida day.
MAVEN, like all modern space exploration, is built upon thousands of these breakthroughs. Our progress has reduced once Herculean accomplishments to mere steps on a checklist. It's exciting to think that one day those things which challenge us now will seem but single cogs in the ever-expanding infrastructure of our exploration.

Hello, my name is
and I'm the owner of From the Sea by the Sea Designs. Both myself and my husband Marc design, create and handcraft all the From the Sea by the Sea treasures.
From the Sea Design was created from our love of PEI, beach combing and sea glass. Ever since stepping foot on the red sand back in 2010, our lives have changed. We knew then that we couldn't walk away from this beautiful province. Walking the breathtaking beaches of Prince Edward Island and being mesmorized by the sea consumed us. So we made a life change, moved from Ottawa to PEI and we've enjoyed collecting sea glass, and shells ever since. We have spent many hours walking the beaches in search of these beautiful gems and
treasures we use in our creations.
Finding sea glass, and beach treasures is our passion. We imagine the story behind each piece that we find and wonder how it traveled to a particular beach and what the origin of that piece could be. Was it perhaps from the sailing ships visiting the island from the 18th to the early 20th century?
From this love, we decided to handcraft sea glass jewelry, jewelry and beach inspired decor. These beautiful handcrafted pieces all are made with items we've been collecting from the beaches of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Our designs allow us to showcase and share these ocean gems that have been sculpted by the waves, tides and sand of the sea.
My favorite quote "DO MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE".

Brake Fluid re-fill
MM92 replied to MM92's topic in Ford Focus ClubGreat, thanks! Haven't had a look, I'll check tomorrow but due for an MOT in about a month so will get a once over then anyway.
MM92 started following MK1 - Heavy steering and pedals, Brake Fluid re-fill, MK2 revs and and 3 others
Brake Fluid re-fill
MM92 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi, Just checked my oil and noticed the brake fluid container hidden at the back under the windscreen was low. It's very close, if not on the Min line. Brakes, clutch etc still running/feeling fine and no lights! I've downloaded a Focus manual but not 100% its correct for the UK spec as it has a lot of US references. Does anyone know what type/level/grade of brake fluid I'll need for a 06 plate MK2 1.6 petrol Focus LX. Thanks!
What's the best/simplest way to take out one of the blank cover plates?
MK2 revs
MM92 replied to MM92's topic in Ford Focus ClubSorry, typo. 3,200 RPM
MK2 revs
MM92 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi, I've recently got a MK2 1.6 LX and I'm not sure if the revs are high or standard. When I'm in fifth doing 70 it's at 3,200 which is about 2-300 more than my old 1.6 MK1 Zetec did. Is this at the right level or does it need adjusting?
Thanks for that. Is there a panel/plate with just a aux input so I can put the aux into the back and then plug in via the panel? Can only see Aux and USB combos. Or can I use that without any USB plug in required?
MK2 centre cover
MM92 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi, Got a MK2 a few days ago and haven't yet found anything to get this cover open. It's an LX model. Does anyone know whats in there? If it's worth opening? A second cig lighter would be ideal like the MK1. Not seen anything online or in the handbook but don't know what search term to be using! Thanks!
Hi, I know this thread is old but just got a MK2 and looking at adding a aux from my CD6000. Does anyone know the part number for a cover plate with an aux input to replace one of my blank covers, next to the rear window button? Rather than plugging into a loose cable. Thanks!
MK1 central locking
MM92 replied to MM92's topic in Ford Focus ClubI'll try the battery tomorrow. Radio code in hand!
MK1 central locking
MM92 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi all, A couple of mornings ago I tried unlocking my car with the remote button and nothing happened. Tired a few times and then it finally unlocked (thought the fob battery might be running low). Got to work and it locked fine. Fast forward to the next evening (yesterday) and when I went to lock the car it would automatically unlock itself. (Was over 30C here yesterday - linked?). Then move forward to this morning and it stays locked when I press the fob, all apart from the drivers door. Same when I unlock. I have to put the key in for the drivers door, which doesn't do the other 3 doors. Some random events over the last 3 days. Not sure if there's something linking all of these or what. Ideas? I'm thinking of disconnecting the battery and resetting the car this weekend. Is that worth while or completely useless for the above? Thanks in advance!
Thinking about it, would a slightly sticky brake cause something like this? I had sticky brakes before and replaced the pads, discs etc (no heavy steering from what I remember, though).
In that case it maybe just a me being paranoid. I can't feel anything by the pedals, seems as clear as normal.
MK1 - Heavy steering and pedals
MM92 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi all, As of yesterday the steering in my MK1 Focus seems to have got a a bit heavier. I'm not having to put much effort into turning, pretty much the same as usual but there's definitely a weight on it. Also, the pedals seem to feel heavy as well. Not sure if that's the correct way of mentioning it but they seem harder than usual. I checked my power steering fluid level, that's right at the top. The car still drives in a straight line and breaks in a straight line. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
I did a dash test yesterday (while idling) and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. No DTC codes etc. A couple of years ago I did have a cluster issue with the needles but WD40 worked a treat since. Do you think it may need re-doing? I'll get the battery checked in a day or two when possible and check any connections.
Did it match all of the above? And did you have a battery check before changing?

This command starts a Buck daemon process for the current project in the current working directory. When running other commands, Buck first checks for a running daemon process and if found uses that daemon to execute the command. Using a Buck daemon can save significant amounts of time as it avoids the overhead of starting a Java virtual machine, loading the buck class files and parsing the build files for each command.
The buck daemon writes its port, process id and log output to a
.buckd directory it creates inside the project root directory. Subsequent buck commands use these files to find the daemon process and the buckd command uses them to kill any existing daemon process for the project when it is run.
It is safe to run several buck daemons started from different project directories and they will not interfere with each other, making buckd suitable for use in shared server environments or where several projects are being worked on concurrently.
Buck daemon processes monitor the project file system while running and invalidate cached build rules if any non source files are changed. Subtrees within the project file system that are specified via the "ignore" setting of the "project" section of .buckconfig are excluded from monitoring. Adding project-specific output directories and source control directories like .git can significantly improve performance and may be necessary to avoid file change overflows when buck daemons are being used to build very large projects.
By default, Buck daemon processes ignore changes to editor temporary files.
A buckd process will be killed if:
- The buck config (e.g. the contents of .buckconfig) changes unless that change is to a config option whitelisted in this file
buck cleanis run
- The daemon has been idle for 24 hours
- The .buckd directory in the workspace is deleted
buck kill.
To disable the daemon from starting, set the environment variable
NO_BUCKD to
