Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis Maintenance and Repair
When the climate control is in the "Floor" position, air does come out from the floor vents. However, as a move the temperature lever from cold to hot the air no longer comes out through the floor vents but instead comes out hot from the upper air conditioner vents. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thank you
Thank you

Hello My Friends,
I am about to buy a Ford Mercury Grand Marquis.
I already know one to buy, but theres a problem with the fuel pump. Of course i could buy a new one, in case. But i think its possible that the emergency shutdown was activated for some reason.
Does anybody know how to reactivate the fuel pump in this case?
I changed the blown gaskets.It still leaked water into the oil. I took the heads off again, and had them resurfaced. I physicaly checked the cylinders when I had the heads off. They seemed fine with no cracks or scratches I put them back on wtih new gaskets. It still leaks water into the oil. I have heard that the intake manifold may need to be resurefaced also?
Car sat for several months. Worked just fine. Now, no start. Engine cranks but no fire. I suspect it's not getting fuel. Fuel shutoff is NOT tripped. Fuel pump fuse is NOT blown. There is NO spark but I suspect that's because there's no fuel pressure.
Another weird thing is the ODB2 code reader produces "Error" after trying to read any codes.
Any Ideas out there as to where to look?
How charged up is this battery, or are you just jump starting it after a long sleep?
If you haven't done so, charge up this battery fully on a charger before you start diagnostics.
Here's a good TUTORIAL on no-starts to give you some ideas:

sprint230 Posts: 2Does your Grand Marquis have an oil cooler in the lower radiator hose? It is a metal tube in the lower hose that runs parallel to the radiator and is connected to the oil filter base by two rubber hoses. If it does you should check or replace it. We had quite a few Police cars with oil in the water and vice versa in the mid to late '90's due to leaks in the cooler.
shawman26 Posts: 2My 1997 Crown Vic had the ignition switch replaced/ repaired by adding an auxillary push start button instead of stock replacement.
The "economical " folks that did this gig returned it to me so that now the w wipers only work on one speed, reverse lights out, blinks dont work, and climate panel is knocked out.
Ive tried a new blinker stalk to no avail. Someone told me the actuator rod is not coming far down enought to activate these functions. Help, diagram, anything wld be great..
MY LUCK WILL RUN OUT! I'VE GOTTEN 3 WARNINGS SO FAR BY LOCAL PDs. Help!
Have it fixed properly. They obviously cut into the wrong wiring.

I have a 1993 grand marquis, it runs fine but the shift lever will not go past N into park or reverse. When you try to do so it makes a hissing noise. The car will however shift into drive 1st, and 2nd. I have the complete repair manual for the car but cant seem to figure out the cause is or how to fix it. PLEASE HELP! Ionly have tomorrow and tuesday off to fix it and need all the advice/help and instructions I can get ASAP! I need all the help o I can get as this is my daily driver and need it to get to work! Thanks
searchlight7 Posts: 4I have a 2000 Mercury Marquis LS with 70k miles on it that I purchased used.
Recently since the winter weather became colder, I noticed when I cold start the car in the morning, that after a few minutes of idling, I hear a loud fog horn type of noise eminating from the engine compartment. After I drive away, the noise disappears, and then may not reappear until a day or two later. The noise does not emerge when the engine is warm or hot.
I opened the hood, placed my ear against the air filter housing, and heard the sound coming from inside, along with a vibration.
I researched on the internet, and many people with the same problem on this model recommend cleaning or replacing the IAC valve.
I went to my local AZ, and picked up the part there, and replaced it myself. Replacing the two screws that hold the valve to the throttle body was a pain because the valve is mounted horizontally at the rear of the 4.6L engine. The top screw was easy to remove but the bottom was difficult because I had trouble manipulating my ratchet in that tight space. With the help of the AZ manager, we removed it to uninstall the old valve, and were able to retighten it for the new.
Today, I started the car and no noise, so I am hoping this was the solution to the problem.
Anyone had similar experience with their Marquis or Crown Vic?
shrimpsalad Posts: 1Just got bad news that my frame on my 1989 Crown Vic is rotting out, I saw it. Like Filo dough after its in the oven near the driver side. the mechanic says the car is unsafe to drive...although the car runs great, and I dont FEEL like the car is unsafe what is the options to having this fixed, if it can be. Hope so, I pray it can be. I had it at a Ford shop, but they are are a dealership too. Should I bring it to a body shop to have a second opinion???

swschrad Posts: 2,171there is no practical fix short of a total rebuild of the car by a specialty shop.
Hi. I bought this LS with 25K miles recently in mint condition, very well maintained. I put new Michelin Symmetry tires (same as original) all around on the first day, just because of the age of the originals.
The problem is that I hate driving this car. It's like walking with a drunk. You have to constantly make corrections, nudge it this way,nudge it back the other way, stop at a light and start through it again- you have to make two corrections before you get through the intersection.
I had an alignment done. Everything was in order and very tight (as you'd expect with this mileage).
I read some reviews from 2001 and I read "handles like the USS Nimitz" and other derogarory comments, and I see that Ford spent millions upgrading to rack-and-pinion in 2003, so they must have been quite aware of the problem.
Do others experience this problem? Is there a solution? Maybe a steering geer from one with the handling pkg? Different tires? Change the alignment Caster or something?
Best car I've ever had but unfortunately I really hate the way it tracks! Thanks- BA
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,425Is there a solution?
Yes - it is driving & trying the car out BEFORE you pay for it.
I'll tell ya, if you've always driven rack and pinion cars a recirculating ball is a lot different. A problem? Cars have been using recirculating ball style systems since forever.
I've got a 03 and a 85 and the 03 is much tighter, but actually feels like it needs more correction at highway speeds. It's an impression thing - because there is a bit of slack in the old system, and very little in the new, the new feels twitchy. I can see why a younger driver would find the 01 a bit barge like. It is.
The only things I can think of is, you can have a Ford mechanic check the lash adjustment on the steering box (don't overtighten it!), or the big one - have a box from a P71 (police package) Crown Victoria fitted on it. The police steering boxes are a LOT tighter, and bolt right in (you might, might, need a fitting on the fluid lines, I can' t remember, but no big deal).
Most rebuilt boxes are NOT police package so be careful if you decide to go this route. It appears ACDELCO 360816569 *might* be correct - I'd call to verify. Iirc the police package boxes do not have a snap ring holding the output shaft seal, and the regular ones do.
It's possible that a loose suspension is adding to the slop impression as well. KYB gas-a-just shocks will stiffen these cars up nicely, and for a bit more use the P71 ones. I've also used cargo coils (variable rate) rear springs (very easy to change) in all my full size Fords, they really help flatten them out on long turns, like highway ramps. You can also swap police package front and rear sway bars onto it (they're bigger). To go whole hog have your control arm bushings upgraded to Energy Polyurethane
It's a great car. Good luck.
Ah. MOTORCRAFT Part # STG35RM, and I caught reference that these folks know the time: http://www.redheadsteeringgears.com/
no affiliation etc.
I really appreciate the info Bart. I may try the steering gear.
The thing is I don't remember this during the brief test drive and I replaced the ancient tires the first day. I've added a few pounds pressure (39 lbs front)and that seems to help a bit.
My first car was a '64 Galaxie with 32K and I've had a 75 Olds Regency (455 ci) and never noticed this type of problem. But for the last 12 years I've been driving a Toyota Cressida Wagon that handled like it was on rails so maybe that "spoiled" me, haha. This Merc. is like a brand new car and the ol' lady is tickled pink with every aspect of it (she doesn't drive), so I will follow your suggestions and upgrade the shocks and maybe the gear. Thanks- Brian
You've had some nice cars!
Just a note - the suspension will make it feel tighter perhaps, but the only thing that will actually tighten it up is the box.
Also, upgraded rear control arms are available for the WATTS rear end and are supposed to make a HUGE difference - I'm looking forward to changing mine. When James May said it handled like it has a hinge in the middle, it's supposed to fix that.

Dams and Levees
Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. The average age of the 84,000 dams in the US is 52 years old. The nation's dams are aging and the number of high-hazard dams is on the rise. Many of these dams were built as low-hazard dams protecting undeveloped agricultural land. The average age of the 84,000 dams in the country is 52 years old. The nation's dams are aging and the number of high-hazard dams is on the rise. Many of these dams were built as low-hazard dams protecting undeveloped agricultural land. Both are in sad shape and rated a D for dams and a D- for levees by the American Society of Civil Engineers who are the engineers who build them. If they go, homes and vast stretches of land will be flooded and the environment literally drenched.
Luckily dams and levees are built and designed to last a long time but the key issue is that they be well maintained in that time.
Dams are classified based on their hazard potential, or anticipated consequences in the case of failure. The failure of a dam that is classified as high-hazard is anticipated to cause a loss of life. As of 2012, there are 13,991 dams in the United States that are classified as high-hazard, showing a continued increase in the overall number of dams with that classification. The number has increased from 10,118 high-hazard dams just ten years ago. Another 12,662 dams are currently labeled as significant hazard, meaning a failure would not necessarily cause a loss of life, but could result in significant economic losses.
Repair funding needs are significant, and vary according to who owns and operates the dam. The Association of State Dam Safety Officials estimates that the total cost to rehabilitate the nation's non-federal and federal dams is over $57 billion. To rehabilitate just those dams categorized as most critical, or high- hazard, would cost the nation $21 billion, a cost that continues to rise as maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation are delayed.
Levees play a critical role in reducing the risk to public safety from potentially devastating flood events throughout the United States. Levees are man-made structures designed and constructed along the water's edge to contain, control, or divert the flow of water in a flood event.
Levees maintained and operated by the USACE receive federal funding through the USACE Civil Works budget. However, the majority of the nation's levees are not owned and operated by the federal government, and therefore must rely on cash-strapped state and local governments for investment. Currently, rough estimates put the cost to repair and rehabilitate the nation's levees at more than $100 billion.
Annual floods can increase these costs. For example, after severe flooding in the Midwest in 2011, the cost to repair damaged levees on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers is estimated to be more than $2 billion. On average, levee and flood control facility damages average $4.2 bill ion annually for Corps levees.
The primary effects of flooding include loss of life, damage to buildings and other structures, including bridges, sewerage systems, roadways, and canals. But this is not all that happens. The whole environment changes. Both animal and plant life changes with the water level. The whole local ecology may well be ruined.
Drinking water treatment and water supplies will be affected. It may also cause the loss of sewage disposal facilities. Lack of clean water combined with human sewage in the flood waters raises the risk of waterborne diseases, which can include typhoid, giardia, cryptosporidium, cholera and many other diseases depending upon the location of the flood.

The best way to help inner-city high school students is to offer/encourage them the opportunity to graduate as Juniors. Taking courses in the summer to get ahead.
I went to a suburban HS and saw a lot of students graduate as Juniors and looking back I wish I did the same thing.
I hated HS because I was bored to death. It's just too freakin' slow and too freakin' long. Same thing for college. I started taking college courses in the summer and LOVED it! I got a lot done quick!!

It's gonna be very interesting seeing STAT in the post it's probably gonna be rocky, and it's good some coach is finally demanding that he operates down their even if it is like 9 years into his career.
Maybe Amare will finally learn how to play defense...I dont think id be looking to go to him that much though, we'll see what he does against the Pacers
Sorry to hear that.
While I'm cool with keeping Amar'e around, Melo is dead for me.
His reaction to D'Antoni's demission was the reaction of a selish and arrogant ******* imo.
It's obvious to me that he pulled the strings in the background that led to D'Antoni's exit, disrespecting his coach and co captain Amar'e (who's a huge D'Antoni supporter and friend of him) in the process.
I also remember the trash he talked about George Carl and Denver after the trade.
Melo is a snitch and a cancer to any team he's on.
I wish we had never traded for him, but Deron Williams or signed Amar'e AND Joe Johnson in 2010 to form a very nice 1-2 punch.
Melo is basically Kobe without the skills, talent, work ethic and success that Kobe has.
Carmelo said all the right things but before the game while every Knick looked a bit upset he looked like a five years old kiddo right before the Christmas, smiling and joking around.
Media got rid of D-Antoni. Stephen A said a few days earlier that If Dolan wanted Phil he could have him and that he must go.
`Melo didn`t get rid of Dumbphoney. The media didn`t get rid of Dumbphoney. The only person who got rid of Dumbphoney was Dumbphoney.
His terrible coaching, his ridiculous arrogance, his complete inability to draw up plays, his inability to use the talent at his disposal . . . I could go on and on and on all day about how pathetic a coach Mr. Pringles is.
Stop keep deflecting the blame onto an individual player or the media or the fact that the popcorn in the garden wasn`t warm enough or the rains didn`t come and the crops failed. FFS.
He is gone because he is a terrible coach. Look at his record since joining the Knicks. Look at him sitting on his arse every game and only getting up to clap and say let`s go let`s go.
Who cares about what Stephen A says? It's a shame that screaming puppets like him are considered as NBA specialists.
There are numerous factors that forced D'Antoni to leave. Dolan rejected D'Antoni's application to extend his contract. Walsh left. Knicks struggled (swept in the playoffs, 18-24 record this season). Players unwilling to ajudst to D'Antoni's system and MDA unwilling to adjust the system. I think Carmelo intentionally stopped giving any effort to force MDA to leave. However, when the media turned against Anthony he had to step up and do something quickly, so he spreaded the rumor that he'll demand a trade if D'Antoni's still in charge after the season and few hours later MDA resigned after Dolan forced him to do so. But it's still MDA's fault, as an HC you can't ignore your owner's favorites.
The coach is suppose to lean on his stars. Only a arrogant dunce will try to win a battle without using his best weapons. Any star and real fan will be heated to see their team not being used to its best potential.
I'm not even sure D'Ant will get another gig in this league after he was expose so often in the bright NYC lights. When the team starts winning like they were built to do....the memories of pringles will fade away...along with his already depleting fanbase.
Lol @ people on here.
Paying more attention to politics than the actual team.
I guess MDA's decision to force the man who is considered our most talented player...to fit into his system, and make not a single ****ing adjustment, when it wasn't working...was what...good coaching?
Then when Melo, who hasn't been coached by MDA virtually his entire career like Amar'e, shows signs of frustration, and I can reasonably assume he also spoke to Mike about it....we look at Melo like "yo, what gives? BUY IN!!"
Another media term bandied about that people pick up, and regurgitate like a bulimic getting rid of that food.
I'm sorry...when you're doing exactly what you're told...and it's not working, at what point do you say "nah, let's try something else."
As much as people don't wanna hear it, or agree with it...that's actually more of a sign of leadership as apposed to some slap dick ******* that's gonna be a yes-man with the "ok, mhhmm, yep, you want me to....yeah, ok, no problem, yep, ahhhh well if it doesn't work I'll just do it again, yea, fine, no prob."
A star player not being utilized properly in the offense for the sake of an ideology, and "system"; yet he's somehow wrong to be upset...because...I dunno...he's either not meeting some contrived standard that's been set only in the minds of a small faction of people, or because the media keeps saying "let's talk about Carmelo?" So you get people ranting about his FG% without the slightest idea of what's causing the drop in FG% other than "his shots aren't falling, and I can't believe he's not buying in"
Like it or not, you gotta build your team around your stars. When you acquire a star, there's a reason why it's called a "franchise changing move." Hell, the best coaches just switch it up on the fly to accommodate the talent they have, like Greg Popovich. Spurs went from a defensive stalwart, to an up tempo, 3-point shooting, juggernaut last year.
Rosters cultivate your team's philosophy, and identity. You might have your own beliefs, and want to run a different kind of system, but if you don't have the players for it, you have to work with what you have -- even if that means changing your MO for the time being.
Melo is one of, if not the most important component on the roster, once you have him, love it or not, you gotta work with what you have -- not despite what you have.
MDA has his MO, philosophy, and team identity set before he even has his roster. That's ass backwards.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.

i like the intact penises the best. they just look beautiful. ugly and traumatized the circumcised ones.
I can't believe the lack of jizz some guys put out here. I would spray the load of my life on these sexy, gorgeous faces...
Dakoda is wonderful. I like the second chick too. Amagad.
3rd girl = Courtney James aka Jessie Alba
Man was that hot. The third girl, Courtney, is so damn cute the way she trembles as she masturbates. The last girl is hot too and I like the way the sperm runs down her and into her pubic hair.

Jenna Haze bukkake is awesome waiting a long time for it before this , Bobbi and Rebecca are appreciated aswell
Sam No and Mason are the same person...
Rebecca looks really cute at exactly 8:00
I'd give anything to eliminate these goddamn idiotic giant, ridiculous-ass false eyelashes they love to stick on porn starlets. NORMAL false eyelashes look stupid enough in a close-up, these goddamn showgirl style things just make them look like fucking Bozo.
5 stars for the second scene, with Rebecca Linares, ALONE. (I'll be so glad when porn gets over the giant false eyelash kick. That may be ok on a showgirl 30 feet away, but up close it just looks retarded.)
Very good quality mix. Hot chicks, all talking hot the whole time, while begging for more loads. Hearing the director slut in the background was even hot.
Sasha Grey is absolutely not afraid of cum! Bless her heart. Surprised to see Jenna Haze in a bukkake. Happy i did!
kidddz: i was thinking about MASON voice. She was director in last two year (i think). She do : Dirty Trixxx 1 and 2 and many others.

i agree, can anyone post more courtney james? i cant find her anywhere
All scenes are from Elegant Angel's "Massive Facials"
Can someone post some more courtney james videos? I cant find any on spankwire or youporn.
which film set are these from? who is the girl commenting? i like it
The sluts in order: 1. Jenna Haze 2. Rebecca Linares 3. Courtney James 4. Bobbi Star 5. Dakota Brookes 6. Sasha Grey
These carpets have so much stories to tell... OH, One of the best facial compil here, for sure!!

Hey M Girls,
Whenever we see Debby Ryan, she's always decked out in the cutest outfits -- so we were super-excited when she announced she was started a new web series all about fashion called RyanStyle!
Check out the first episode, FASHIONSCOOL here for back-to-school pointers from Deb herself:
So helpful, Debby!
Let's dish: -What do you think of Debby's new web series? What are you wearing on the first day of school?


text: YOu simply can never go back--what made originals appealing were due to a combination of factors unique to a certain point in time and in the viewers' lives. That is why so many resurrections/reboots fail. Viewers think they would love an old show to come back or have a reunion but it never is the same and they are left feeling like it would have been better just to leave the series dead and have that pining but it never being fulfilled. It also doesn't help that they usually just have the old cast as props and not the focus.

As frustrating as you were to watch at the defensive end, I think everyone can appreciate the effort and team play you brought every night. All the best.

He was a good ambassador for the ball club and he had some wonderful games for the Raps in recent years. He'll get a standing ovation with his first game back in Toronto - you watch. He deserves it too. Best of luck Jose!
Fellow Rap fans, I really hope we didn't jump the gun on trading this guy, ...but I will grant you that contract was a little rich.
"Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon."
I'll miss him. Played with passion, great teammate, great shooter, ran the offense fantastic. best of luck in Charlotte!
Uh...I think MJ just screwed the Raptors
I really hope this deal goes through...
Come on Jordan get er done!!!
Goes to show you how amateur Jordan is when it comes to managment.
One player that I know who will be thanking Jose a lot is Amir. Jose made him look good during his contract year with those alley-oops.
Jose is hating being traded. I'm sure he loved living here in easy peasy un-American Toronto.
The Raps without Calderon? That's like Miami with three ego maniacs who it seems would rather look at each other in the mirror than play real competitive, professional basketball. I'll miss the old days, that's for sure.
I'm a huge Calderon fan, and he will be missed.
Good guy. Enduring memory: the clip played often on Raptors TV with him ready to throw the ball inbounds and going "Joey, Joey, Joey....I throw you the ball...". I always wondered whether the play got intercepted!
Absolutely. Jose endeared himself to fans through constant hard work and he always wore his emotions on his sleeve. The guy really cared about winning and took responsibility for the team. Defensive liabilities aside, Calderon was the epitome of offensive efficiency, particularly when his shot was falling.
MLSE, retire number 8!
This is bullshit. Jose is the last real Raptor. I'm disgusted for Jose.
I always liked Jose, even when he couldn't lob it to Bosh and let Jefferson intercept the game winning pass in the playoffs.
I will miss him - though it looks like the deal might be dead.
Yep: dead.
Ohh give me a break...his still here...sucks!!!
Welcome back Jose .... OLE, OLE Ocho is hard to get rid of, LOL!
Saying goodbye to Jose seems a bit premature

I mentioned in my previous entry about a special spring break trip. For about two month now my buddy Andrew and me have been planning a trip to baseball's most hallowed grounds. The National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
This will be my second trip to the Hall. My first came in 1997. My dad, aunt, both my grandfathers and myself made the trek up during the last week of August of that year for the annual induction ceremonies.
Phile Niekro, the famous knuckleballer is a very distant relative of my extended family. It was a neat experience although I never formally met Phil. My house is filled with autogrphed memorobilla Mr. Niekro was nice enough to sign for us.
Now mind you I was just eight years old in '97. I do not remember a thing about the weekend, the Hall or Cooperstown. Let me just say that I am pumped beyond belief for this special baseball moment. There is not one person I'd rather share it with than my buddy Andrew either. He and I appreciate baseball more than anyone I know. The history, the passion and the overall fun of the game is what we both live by.
I anticpate having the time of my life through the hallowed halls. I have been researching the exhibits and cannot wait to get started. I will be like a kid in a candy store.
I have also heard the city of Cooperstown is a baseball lovers paradise. The quaint little town offers themed restaraunts and shops. I'm stocking up on cash to bring along because I am a free spender when it comes to baseball related items.
FINAL FOUR UPDATE: In my last entry you got a peek of my elation after West Virginia played their way into the Final Four. If only you would have seen me a few hours later. I recieved an e-mail regarding student tickets available at a first come-first serve basis. I am the lucky owner of one of the available 600 tickets given to WVU students. At a miniscule price of just $25 dollars we are able to catch WVU's game as well as the other game on Saturday. Also, the championship game Monday. It has potential to be a fantastic weekend, which I already have a gut feeling that it will be. My and five of my Mountaineer friends are eagerly searching for hotel rooms and other travel plans for Saturday. It is hectic, but so much fun at the same time.

Matthews out indefinitely with injury
Veteran outfielder continues to deal with ailing left knee
By Mike Scarr / MLB.com
The Angels outfielder met with team orthopedist Dr. Lewis Yocum to discuss the results of an MRI taken on his ailing left knee, and the exam revealed a tear but no other structural damage to ligaments or surrounding cartilage.
Out since Sunday, Matthews was not immediately sent to the disabled list, but he was uncertain when he would be able to return to the field. One thing he ruled out was surgery, unless the procedure is a last-ditch effort to get him back into the lineup.
"The plan for now is to continue to treat it and strengthen it," Matthews said. "We'll probably be a little more aggressive with our treatment, maybe a little bit different medication and try to figure a way to make it feel better and manage it until the offseason."
Matthews has suffered with patellar tendinitis since last September, when he missed the Angels' first-round postseason loss to the Red Sox. The 33-year-old is currently hitting .235 with seven homers and 34 RBIs while posting a .310 on-base percentage.
"I have my good days and I have my bad days, and you get to the point where you're not getting the results that you want," said Matthews, who feels pain particularly when he bats from the left side. "Now we know what we've got."
Matthews signed a five-year, $50 million deal in the offseason prior to 2007 to play center field. He held that position last season, but he has been supplanted by Torii Hunter, whom the Angels signed to a five-year deal in November.
Through 89 games this season, Matthews has rotated through all three outfield slots and designated hitter. If the Angels opt to place him on the DL, Matthews would be nearly halfway through the minimum downtime.
"It is something that has been bothering him since last season," Angels general manager Tony Reagins said.
The recent surge of Juan Rivera, who has three homers and eight RBIs in nine starts in July, has allowed the Angels to take a slower approach with Matthews.
"When you have surgery, you're talking four to six months, and I've not even discussed that; I wouldn't entertain it," said Matthews, adding that Yocum did not recommend surgery. "Hopefully, in the offseason, I can stay healthy and it continues to heal, and I can get better."

Sherrington: Jerry Jones won't hire Lovie Smith because 'he might be bigger' than Jason Garrett
Catch SportsDay On Air twice per week on Fox Sports Southwest, when Dallas Morning News experts discuss hot sports topics from the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, Rangers and colleges (check our TV listings for air times). Here are a few highlights from Monday's episode featuring Barry Horn and Kevin Sherrington:
On the Cowboys firing Rob Ryan:
Sherrington: "I don't have a problem with the move as long as (Jerry Jones) makes a good one now. That's always problematic with Jerry. If he hires (Monte) Kiffin, which that's on the hot river right now that Kiffin is going to come here and they go back to a 4-3 instead of the 3-4, which seems to me that maybe that helps some their personnel, then it's a good move."
Horn: "This defense was not as great as people thought it was even before all the injuries. There were some issues with the defense. I think Jerry looked at the assistant coach with the biggest name out there, and he went right after the assistant coach with the biggest name. I'm getting rid of him, and I'm going after the biggest guy on the street and also the biggest name. He's the guys everybody knows. He's the guy the camera focuses on. He went after him."
Sherrington: "With Jerry, you can't rule out bringing in (Dave Wannstedt). I suppose Mike Zimmer is a possibility. Lovie Smith is a distant possibility. I don't see him doing a Lovie Smith because the guy has been a head coach. He's been a powerful head coach. He's not necessarily a big personality, he's a very big presence. Players loved playing for him in Chicago. I don't see him coming here anyway. If you bring in a guy like that, he might be bigger than your head coach."

While I'm talking all about paint and stain in Atlanta for the next two days, I have a few special guests coming up, and my first is my friend Myra from My Blessed Life. I met Myra at the Blissdom conference over a year ago, and we've been friends ever since! Since I'm touring the south this week, I'm excited to begin this "Summer Is…" series with this sweet southern gal, please give Myra a warm welcome!
Hello, hello fabulous Centsational Girl readers! I'm thrilled and honored to be visiting with you today. Summer is such a beautiful time of year, although in Alabama it is very hot and humid. But I embrace the beauty and stay as cool as possible. Here are a few of my favorite things about Summer in the South…
Porch Living: My family and I live in the oldest house on main street in our tiny town. We enjoy spending our mornings and evenings on the front porch reading, watching the cars go by, waving to neighbors and sipping on a glass of cold {sweet} iced tea.
Farmer's Market Produce: Each weekend, I stop by the farmer's market to get fresh produce for the coming week. My favorites are cucumbers, yellow squash, zucchini, strawberries, peaches and blackberries. I've made delicious cobblers with fresh strawberries, peaches and blackberries in the last few weeks.
Backyard Hydrangeas: The huge bush of blue hydrangeas growing on the side of our house just takes my breath away. I love cutting blooms and adding them to a vase on the table. They cheer a room up so quickly.
Seabrook Island, South Carolina: My very favorite destination to visit during the Summer months is Seabrook Island. It is a private, quiet community with beautiful white sandy beaches, gorgeous trees and marshes. Bike riding is peaceful and a multitude of deer come out to play at dusk. Seabrook Island isn't far from Charleston which is definitely another perk!
Thanks so much Kate for having me today! I hope you and your wonderful readers have enjoyed reading about my Summer favorites. I would love if y'all stopped by for a visit anytime.
Thank you Myra for sharing your definition of summer, I'm putting Seabrook Island on my list of places to visit!
What's your definition of summer?


text: According to Memory Alpha's article on Kira Nerys, Kira was 26 years old during Season 1 of DS9 (you have to do the math... it isn't specifically stated on that entry). Does that seem realistic to you?? Apparently she got her start with Shakaar's resistance cell when she was 12. It just seems kinda crazy to me that the Bajoran militia would give the post of DS9 Bajoran Liason / First Officer to a 26 year old, but I guess you could argue that after 50 years of the Occupation they didn't have many "qualifed" people to give the job to. Or would you try to argue that she distinguished herself so much as a resistance fighter that she deserved the post? That thought brings to mind a conversation that Kira had with Dukat (I believe it was him) when he said that the Cardassians considered her a minor member of the Resistance. Of course, he probably said that just to annoy her. I'm guessing that the producers / story writers didn't really take Nana Visitor's looks into account when they came up with these figures. She didn't look like she was 26 during Season 1.

I found this moth in Marojejy, Madagascar at an elevation of 1250 metres
Please could you help with the ID.
Yes, hawkmoth (Sphingidae). Try Project Noah for an ID.
Thanks for the great advice Florin. I joined project Noah and within a day I received lots of feedback. The Hawk moth has been identified as Sphingidae rhagastis lambertoni, I've since been reading about this species online. I'm already hooked on project Noah's brilliant website.
Kind regards
it's a Hippotion sp.
From the species known from Madagascar, I can exclude: H.celerio, H.eson, H.gracilis
but don't know the most of the other species of that genus.
Also note the NHM's Alessandro Giusti's mammoth task of rehousing ~289,000 hawk moth specimens

Reid: Prostitution may hurt RNC bid
Nevada's legalized prostitution industry may be an impediment to the state's pursuit of the Republican National Convention, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
In an interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal, the Democratic leader said that the state's prostitution industry contributes to Nevada's poor national image, in a way that gambling no longer does as it has spread across the United States.
Story Continued Below
Reid said he is supportive of Las Vegas in its bid to land the RNC in 2016, but predicted that prostitution "would be an issue," even though it is banned in Las Vegas and several other densely populated areas of the state.
"There are people who don't come to the state of Nevada for a number of reasons, like our education system and the image that we have," Reid said. "And one of the images we have had, gambling, has long since [passed] as a negative. But prostitution hasn't."
Reid addressed the Nevada legislature in 2011 to portray the state's prostitution industry as an impediment to job and economic growth. He said then that the time had come to "outlaw prostitution."
This week, he admitted to the Gazette-Journal that particular speech "didn't go over very well."

Regular Cheesehead TV reader (and all-too-infrequent commenter) "Paul Ott Carruth", a former player and coach who wishes to remain anonymous, breaks down different aspects of the Packers from an X's and O's standpoint. Today he takes a look at some of the issues surrounding the offense and its failings against the Giants this past Sunday night.
Situational football is an important aspect of the game. Philosophies are like…..well you know. Every coach has one. Some have the same and others go a different route. In the end, I appreciate the Herm Edwards philosophy…."you play to win the game……Hello!" McCarthy and Co. didn't appear to take this approach. Yes, I understand McCarthy likes the vertical passing game. I get it.
However, sometimes your philosophy needs to be one of matriculating the ball down the field as Hank Stram used to say. Bill Walsh would attack all areas of the field, width wise and length wise. He would take his shots of course. He loved to go for the endzone when he got to the opponent's 25 yard line because the field would be compressed at that point and the defense was sure to pull out their blitzes, leaving single coverage on the outside. But philosophies aside, you play to win the game and that means being judicious with the ball so your team can keep possession. I've taken the liberty to assess 4 plays in the game. Two show poor play design for the situation. The other two show how a 3 step drop can result in a 10-15 yard gain. Let's begin.
At first glance this looks like a 3-4 defense (3 DL & 4 LB). By alignment it may look like it is. In fact, it is not. Take a closer look. The player circled in yellow is Justin Tuck. The other three players in their 3 point stances are defensive linemen. The Giants have their 4 defensive linemen in the game. Additionally, there are not 4 linebackers. There aren't even 3 or 2. The lone linebacker in the game is circled in blue. The defenders in the red circles are the two deep safeties. The remaining defenders the Giants have in this situation are corners and safeties. The Giants are in Dime personnel (6 DBs). The player circled in orange is indeed a safety.
The Packers are in 11 personnel (1 Back, 1 TE). Finley is aligned as the TE to the right of the formation with 2 receivers to his right. To the left off of the picture is a lone receiver. This is a trips formation commonly known "Trey." The game is tied at 7 and the Packers need 3 yards for a first down.
As Rodgers receives the snap we can see the Packers are in a 6 Man protection (5 OL plus Kuhn). The two deep safeties (in red) gain width and depth off of the hashes. The linebacker (in blue) opens his hips towards the 3rd receiver (Finley). Justin Tuck jams Finley as he tries to release up field. The safety (in orange) opens to the single receiver side with his eyes on Kuhn. Should Kuhn release, he would be responsible for man coverage on Kuhn. Immediately you can see that this is 2 Man coverage. Rodgers is looking "down the pipe" at that linebacker to see his drop.
Tuck has done a nice job of disrupting Finley's release. Pay particular attention to the depth of the defenders. The safeties (in red) are 15 & 20 yards from the line of scrimmage. The linebacker in the hole is almost 10 yards from the line of scrimmage. The green line represents the line to gain (1st down). The protection is solid. Notice Kuhn on his double with Newhouse to the left in the picture.
Rodgers now comes off to the right to see if he can hit Cobb who has run a "whip" route. Cobb is covered pretty well as he makes his break to the outside. You can see Kuhn releasing out after his chip with Newhouse. Again, the protection isn't the issue. Rodgers has time and a clean pocket. Notice Tuck? After jamming Finley he inserts himself in to the rush late. You can see Saturday leaving EDS to pick up Tuck.
No longer does Rodgers have a clean pocket. Saturday does a horrible job of picking up Tuck, forcing Rodgers to flush to his left. Again, notice the line to gain. Do you notice anything else? More on that in a minute.
Rodgers is now trying to escape to his left. He could take a chance and throw it to Kuhn but he tries to rely on his athleticism to buy some more time and possibly run for it. Ultimately he gets tripped up by Canty and the Packers attempt the 55 yd. field goal which Crosby promptly misses. Would Kuhn have picked up the first down had Rodgers thrown it? Who knows. At this point in the play progression it really doesn't matter. The problems with this play occurred in the heads of McCarthy and/or Rodgers.
In slide number 5 I asked if you noticed anything. Do you see it now? Look at the open area in the short middle of the field between the hashes. My major complaint with McCarthy has always been his proclivity to want to push the ball down field and not take what the defense is giving him. The Giants are telling the Packers to take the first down. The red dot represents where Finley was initially aligned. A simple 5 yard route to the middle (Hank route in WCO lexicon) of the field (red line) would have picked up a first down and kept a drive in Giants territory going with the score tied at 7. Simple pitch and catch. The only defender Rodgers and Finley would have had to worry about was the backside shallow safety checking on Kuhn. This is where Finley would have to sit hard and not drift to give Rodgers a clean window.
Instead we see Finley 15 yards down field with a linebacker giving him a cushion of 5 yards. The other receivers were canceled so Rodgers was left to scramble to buy time. In short, this play took too long to develop. This miscue was not on the offensive line. It was in the play design and play call for that situation. Why the Packers insist on throwing in to the teeth of 2 Man time and time again is beyond me.
The ball is on the Packer 39 yard line. Again we have a Trey formation with Finley now in a flexed alignment. The Giants are once again in Dime personnel and the coverage is 2 Man. Notice the red lines? Rodgers is 5 yards from the ball. He will be much further than that after he receives the snap.
Rodgers ends up taking a 5 step drop from the shotgun. This is the equivalent of a 7 step drop from under center. The red line at the bottom of the screen shows where his back foot hit at the top of his drop. In the picture Rodgers has taken the first of his two hitch steps to step back up in to the pocket. The protection broke down as Newhouse whiffed on the block. Now, even if the block is made, Rodgers will either have to scramble or hit Kuhn on the checkdown.
My issue with the play is the design and decision to call it in this situation. The Packers had 1st and 10 with 1:24 to go in the 2nd quarter. They were down 24-10. Another key fact is that they had 2 timeouts. But yet again, McCarthy and Rodgers insist on taking a shot down the field and throw in to the teeth of the coverage. It just doesn't make any sense ladies and gentlemen. A simple 3 step drop from the gun to hit Kuhn on the checkdown might have avoided this situation. This is Mike Martz style passing. …hold the ball and hope something develops. I just don't understand this.
The Packers are in a Trey left formation with Finley aligned in a flex position and Cobb to his left. The Giants are in dime personnel and 2 Man. The ball is on the 24 with 1:45 on the clock. It is 2nd & 10 with the Packers down 24-10 in the 2nd quarter.
Rodgers takes 1 quick step and a balance step and fires the ball to Cobb who has run a 5 yard "Stick" route along with Finley.
You can see Cobb has caught the ball and has room to run up field. He gains an additional 10 yards in RAC, making this a 15 yard gain. Imagine that ladies and gentlemen. …15 yards from a simple 3 step drop 5 yard stick route. This is the essence of the West Coast offense. The fact Cobb was off the line of scrimmage did not enable the Giant defender to jam him and instead the defender had to sink. The defender guessed Rodgers would through the stick to Finley and this left Cobb with plenty of space. This is a simple but as you can see, effective read.
The Packers are initially aligned in a 2 x 2 formation. However, Cobb (in yellow) motions to the left to make this, once again, a Trey formation.
At the snap, Cobb runs a shallow cross under Finley who is, you guessed it, running vertical up the seam. Here you can see Cobb just as he's about to break underneath Finley.
TJ Lang breaks down in his protection and Rodgers is able to avoid JPP and move to his right. You can see Cobb (in yellow) moving across the field at the 27 yard line. The ball was snapped from the 32. This is a simple 5 yard shallow cross.
Cobb is now picked up by Chase Blackburn on the shallow. Can you say "mismatch?"
Cobb has caught the ball and turns up field for an additional 6, giving the Packers another 1st down. Ultimately, the Packers kick the field goal on this drive to score 10.
Closing Analysis
Did the OL play poorly? Yes. Was this all on the OL? Not for even a second. The two bad plays I showed you were not solely the fault of the OL. The play design and call doomed the team from the start. Should we be surprised? I say no. McCarthy and/or Rodgers just seem to believe they can force the ball deep against anyone regardless of coverage. The Giants, 49ers, Bears, and Lions have proven they can't, yet they insist on doing it. Packer fans had better hope that McCarthy and Co. are just testing things out in the regular season and will call a more effective game in the playoffs because if things don't change the Packers will be "one and done" in the post season should they face a team that plays Cover 2 or 2 Man.
What's even more baffling is the fact that, on occasion, McCarthy and Rodgers attacked the short to intermediate zones and let their play makers make yards after catch in space. So is it really a question that they don't know how to attack this coverage or is it pure stubbornness and holding on to your philosophy come hell and high water? They say patience is a virtue. Somebody had better tell that to the Packer offense and tell them fast. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words and the film doesn't lie.

"This is a great opportunity for us to continue to give back to our community. Church's strives to create opportunities for families in these areas, and that is important to us. This is a solid business decision for us—and one that also will enable us to provide jobs in the communities. We are thrilled to be a part of the Church's team," said Gwynn, who is on his way to becoming the third player in baseball history to reach the 4,000 "hit" mark.
The Gwynn franchise partnership is among the largest franchise development agreements for Church's Chicken.
"We are thrilled to have Tony as a new franchise partner and look forward to a long and successful relationship with him and Alicia," said Hala Moddelmog, president of Church's Chicken. "It's also a great business opportunity for the Gwynns and fuels our growth in this key market. We are researching locations with Tony and Alicia now."

text: This course explores the moral foundations and justifications of controversial claims about civil rights and liberties. Our approach will be twofold. First, we will examine both real and hypothetical cases in which (putative) rights (and their undergirding values) conflict with other (putative) rights (and values). Among the real cases will be constitutional cases involving free speech, pornography, flag-burning, public funding of parochial schools, and abortion. Second, we will evaluate these cases in light of basic principles in political philosophy and jurisprudence. Throughout the semester, we will focus on the political and moral challenges of justifying civil rights. No prerequisites.
