Question about 1995 Toyota Camry
Car running rough and check engine light was flashing with 54K miles. Autozone checked it with engine analyzer and said spark plugs were miss firing. How do I replace spark plugs on a 2001 V6 Toyota Camry
Posted by brownbustr on
Codes were as you listed above ... the 300 series. Car has difficulty accelerating at times and is sluggish with full throttle demands.
My 1995 Toyota Camry V6 is also doing the same thing, it runs rough and I have changed the oxygen sensor on both banks. I also put in the required spark plugs for a 1995 Camry and set the gaps. Each of the coils have also been checked and still to no avail...
Here are the codes:
1. Weak/missing spark
2. Plugged fuel injector
3. Engine mechanical fault
4. Large vacuum leak specific to cylinder
Any ideas?
Looks like it is time for a set of plugs. What you need to do is go to a Toyota dealership, and purchase the correct plugs for your vehicle. Plugs other than the correct ones seem to make the cars run worse, as the plugs are specifically designed for each engine application. The front plugs are easy to remove, all you need is a spark plug socket and a10 millimeter wrench. The down side is that the rear plugs are difficult to change, as the intake plenum is in your way. If you want to change the plugs, it would be in your best interests to remove the intake plenum, that will give you better access to the back side set of plugs. Just be careful, whilst removing the plenum, that you do not damage the plenum gasket. If it tears, you are going to have to replace it. Get back to me after you get the plugs in.
Please give me the actual DTC codes from the autozone scan. Are they P-0300/0301/02/03/04/05/06 or other codes?

Removal of the plenum is pretty straight forward. You will need to replace the plenum gasket after you remove it; the gasket is not reusable. Personally, if I was going to take the trouble to remove the plenum, I would replace the plugs and wires back there, also.
I know, I have a 93 Camry V6, and it is a real pain to do the plugs and wires with the plenum on. There are no secrets or great tips on the plenum removal, just take your time. Remember that there are different size bolts, and where they go. Please get back to me if you need any more info...Hope this helps, and thanks for choosing FixYa to resolve your issue.
The graciousness of a FixYa rating for my assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Under the engine in the front you will see an aluminum cover.There is a square hole that fits a 3/8 ratchet remove this first.The new filter comes with a drain adapter that snaps in the hole under the cover.This lets the oil in the housing drain.Then take a oil filter cup wrench or a big channel lock to twist of the larger portion.Then change the filter and o-ring and reinstall.Make sure the o-ring on the square drive cover is there also

The Japan Times' Jason Coskrey reported today that Chiba Manager Bobby Valentine, with whom we were lucky enough to have a chat back in July, told reporters on Tuesday that a Marines official asked him to resign back in late July.
Valentine broke the news while chatting with the reporters about the possibility of his managing Japan's national baseball team in the World Baseball Classic. Of the top spot at Team Japan, Valentine said:
If I knew I was going to be in Japan for many, many years to come, I would be pursuing that job very fiercely.
Because I think I can do a good job. But as many of you know, there's some people in our organization who want me to resign. You know it wouldn't be good (to manage the WBC team) if I wasn't going to be a Japanese manager for a long time.
He reiterated his desire to stay with the Marines, though, saying:
As I mentioned, I'd like to manage here for a very long time. That's my desire. Everybody knows how much I love Japanese baseball, how much I love my team and how much I love the fans of the Chiba Lotte Marines, but of course that's not my decision.
However, Chiba's acting owner, Akio Shigemitsu, reportedly told Valentine to stay on.
The Marines may be having a lackluster season, but Bobby Valentine is clearly a valuable commodity beyond the on-field performance of his team. Perhaps only Rakuten can boast a skipper with the celebrity or popularity of Valentine. Few, though, have done as much for the Japanese game in recent years.
With sclerotic business practices and the continued stranglehold of Yomiuri over most of NPB, a figure like Valentine is absolutely necessary to keep baseball vibrant, growing, and improving in Japan.
If he's unable to stay on at Chiba, we here at the Tsubamegun would be positively gleeful to see Tokyo sign him up. Chiba Marine Stadium is out in Ichihara – not exactly accessible and the Chiba Lotte Marines are relatively new (in this incarnation), yet the team has a strong following, steadily increasing attendance, improving TV deals, and is on the up overall. While this might not all have come straight from Bobby, he's the driving force out there. There are not many managers who will even know how to go about trying to fill his shoes. Here's hoping he sticks around in Chiba (or gets a good, multi-year offer from the Swallows.)
And, yes, for those of you who are wondering, we did record interviews on July 17th and we will release them soon.

Spencer Hawes has spent seven times as long in the NBA as he did at the University of Washington, where he starred for one season before becoming a lottery pick in the draft.
The Clippers forward-center was on campus so briefly he didn't even choose a major. He later discovered the classes he took didn't help him make three-pointers or defend All-Star big men.
"No offense to some of the sciences and humanities and whatnot," Hawes said, "but it's not really my passion or proved to be that helpful later on in life."
And yet, there is something tugging at him to complete his coursework.
He promised his mother he would do it.
Hawes isn't an anomaly in the Clippers locker room. Each of the 11 players who have not obtained their college degrees said they planned to do so.
Of the four who have graduated — J.J. Redick, Ekpe Udoh, C.J. Wilcox and Dahntay Jones — Jones has already started work toward a master's degree in business and Redick said he would like to get an MBA once his playing career ended.
It would be easy for NBA players to major in indifference about their college degrees when they already have millions in the bank and futures as secure as a brigade of armored trucks.
They rarely have a day off during a season that can last eight months and they like to spend summers training and traveling.
"It's just so hard to do it," point guard Austin Rivers said of going back to college, "because you're so busy during the season and when you finally get time off, it's like, do you want to go to school or actually spend time with your family?"
A degree would take some extra doing for Rivers because he spent only one year at Duke. He said he would prefer to take courses in the summer, meaning it could take seven or eight sessions to get his diploma.
The upshot to all that work would be a degree from one of the top schools in the country, which could lead to a job in broadcasting and later coaching.
A template for that path was created by Austin's father, Doc, who returned to Marquette during summers early in his career with the Atlanta Hawks to finish his degree. Doc Rivers went on to become a broadcaster and now coaches the Clippers.
"I went back my first two years in the NBA," the elder Rivers said. "Everyone told me, including my professors, 'If you didn't go back right away, you're probably not going back,' so I went back."
Another avenue for back-to-school specials could open in the summer of 2017 if there's a lockout, as widely expected. Udoh, the Clippers' backup center, used the last work stoppage in 2011 to complete the final semester toward his degree in general studies from Baylor.
Udoh said the classes he needed were paid for by the school as part of his basketball scholarship. It wasn't that odd being an NBA player on campus, he said.
"Shoot, I was another regular guy driving a nice car," Udoh said.
The big debate among players who choose to go back to school is to be or not to be on campus. Many like the convenience of online classes but others have picked majors that lend themselves to more direct interaction with classmates and teachers.
"Drama major is kind of hard online," point guard Nate Robinson said. "It doesn't really make any sense."
Robinson needs to finish one more year of coursework toward a degree he hopes would help him develop as an actor. He has already co-starred in the "Uncle Drew" Pepsi commercials alongside Cleveland's Kyrie Irving.
Veteran forward Hedo Turkoglu is unique among his Clippers teammates because he never spent one day in college. Having started his professional career in Europe when he was 16, Turkoglu was ineligible to play collegiately in the United States because of amateurism rules. He said he would like to eventually get a degree in business management.
"Hopefully," Turkoglu said of going to college, "it will make my transition a lot easier when I stop playing."
That Jordan Hamilton was able to attend college at all was a massive achievement considering he was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and received 22 F's from seventh to ninth grades. The forward took medicine to help him combat the disorder and was accepted to Texas, where he spent two years before turning pro.
Now Hamilton hopes to complete a degree in communications that would allow him to become a television host after his NBA career.
Some might wonder what's the point of twenty- and thirty-somethings giving it the old college try when their bank accounts rival the endowments of their respective schools. Clippers point guard Chris Paul has made roughly $116 million in salary alone during his 10 NBA seasons, not to mention the financial haul of imaginary twin Cliff through all the State Farm ads.
"A wise man once told me, 'If you've got money, you don't need a degree,' " quipped center DeAndre Jordan, who was drafted by the Clippers after one year at Texas A&M.
Jordan then turned serious and said he would like to finish college to appease his grandmother's wishes.
Paul said he intended to take classes at Wake Forest in the coming months because he expected to spend the summer at home in North Carolina. He needs mostly electives to finish his degree in communications after completing much of his coursework in his major during his two years on campus.
"I've got to take like golf and all that," Paul said.
His resolve to get his degree may be topped only by his determination to win an NBA championship.
"I told my mom, even if I have to walk with Little Chris," Paul said, referring to his 5-year-old son, "I'm going to get it."

. . . to get a hair cut. I'm very excited.
In the chapter on hair in my book, all the hairstylists said there are no longer rules about hair length after a certain age. In theory I agree. In practice, as in chez moi, I don't. At the moment my hair is as long as it was in my 20s. I can have the cutest high, long ponytail you can imagine and oh, do I love scooping my hair up into a ponytail.
|This times three I'm afraid.
However, I think I must get back to my personal golden rule which is: No breaking at the shoulders. The woman who cuts my hair is a genius so I'm sure we'll come up with something easy and pretty and I'll still be able to have a little ponytail when the spirit moves me.
I'll give you a report.
am very much a wash and go girl but lucky enough to have hair that is sort of self conditioning……my fab cutter is brilliant too and has actually just given me a cut that makes it look longer…..handy for cold winter days!!
This is going to sound totally random, but this is the only French blog I read, and somehow on another blog it linked to this one: http://cookinginsens.wordpress.com/2013/12/18/our-daughter-jade-mullally-missing-how-you-can-help/
She's a french blogger whose daughter has gone missing. She's asking people to share that info on facebook (which I have) but I don't think I have a single friend in Europe on my facebook–and then I thought of you. Maybe you have some people in your circle that are different than this bloggers and maybe you having the info will help?
Or then again, maybe you'll just think this is spam–which I could understand, of course. But I figured that it was worth a shot.
I'm SOOOO jealous!!!!
Tish I do love to pull my hair back into a ponytail, however do keep it at shoulder length. How dreamy to get your hair done in Paris!
The Arts by Karena
A good stylist and colorist can give you the best advice (as well as the best cut). IMHO, your stylist is almost as important as your doctor.
That's my personal rule, too — there must be some "air" between the shoulders and the ends of my hair. I toyed with longer hair this summer, but just had it cut on Saturday and after the six or seventh time someone told me I looked ten years younger, I figured I had done the right thing!
I'm eager to see your new style and cheering you on! A great cut is the most important "accessory" we can wear.
Me too, me too! Plus nails/toes and the buff & puff. My own Christmas gift to myself. Send us a pic when it's done! xx's
I better get a haircut.. 😉 😉
So envious! I'm struggling with changes in my hair (thinning, and changing texture) and it's really hard to deal with styling my "new" hair. Not that my old hair was a picnic, as it was very thick and wavy with tendencies to frizz. Now I don't have the thickness, but I still have the frizz! Sigh.
Wish I had a genius stylist! Anybody in Houston, TX know a genius stylist to recommend?
—Jill Ann
I had a great, cool, haircut today.
(and color).
If there is one thing about hair that I can't deal with it's having to put my hair up or wear a headband,clips or anything to keep my hair in place. I prefer a great
cut that falls into place and keeps it shape for weeks. Maybe I have a sensitive head or find it annoying to deal with extra bits for my hair.
Tish, I so wish that you would respond to some of the comments.
Anon 12/18
Dear Anon,
You are absolutely right. I have been terribly remiss in responding to comments and to tell you the truth I am ashamed of myself.
I promise to be better.
Now, regarding my hair — and I say this in all modesty. . . I look so adorable (context, context) that I cannot stop looking at my new cut — and new me every time I pass by a reflective surface.
It's all light and layered and well, gorgeous. All the long weight is gone and I swear it makes me look younger. If any of you come to Paris I'll give you the contacts for Estelle. She is brilliant.
mine is curly + short, I adore it!
Can't wait to see yours Tish. xxPeggybraswelldesign.com
Oh, Tish! Just read your comment- how I wish you'd show us your haircut! As someone struggling with what to do with my at-shoulder-hair, I would love to see it get a description of the cut. Of course, so much depends on the artistry of the stylist, but it would give us a starting point. At least, until we can get to Estelle.
Tish – need your stylist's contact info please as I'm headed to Paris in spring and am purposefully letting my hair "go" until my trip. I've also been told that Christophe Robin is wonderful, but would prefer a recommendation from someone I "know" (or at least follow). How best to connect? Merci!

Our higher education system plays an important role in workforce and economic development. That's why Jim Mathias fought to improve the alignment between our public schools and our colleges and universities, to hold the line on tuition increases and for strong state investments at schools that serve students on the Lower Eastern Shore.
Every student who graduates from a public high school and wants to attend college should be prepared for college level learning. Unfortunately, many students graduate from our high schools unprepared for college level work and spend their first year playing catch-up with their peers. Jim voted to improve the alignment of our public schools and our higher education system, so that our graduates are prepared to succeed in our public universities.
As a product of a Maryland public university, and as the father of a student currently attending a Maryland public university, Jim believes we must contain the cost of tuition so that middle class families can afford to send their children to our public universities. Jim voted to freeze undergraduate tuition for three consecutive years, so that a college education is affordable for all Maryland families.
Jim also helped secure state investments in our local institutions of higher education, including $17.6 million for the Allied Health Building at WorWic Community College, $2.5 million for Worcester Hall renovations at University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and $69.5 million for construction projects at Salisbury University.

What is the purpose of qualitative analysis in a lab experiment?
- print Print
- list Cite
The purpose of conducting an experiment is to generate data. This data can be analyzed to see if the experimenter's hypothesis was correct and can be accepted or incorrect and rejected. Data that can be precisely counted or measured is known as quantitative data. Data that is more descriptive is called qualitative data. If a data table measures the growth of a plant, on days one through fifteen, each day the height is measured in centimeters, will be adding to the quantitative data. However, if the experimenter notices a trend, for instance, the plant seemed to be growing rapidly between days ten and fifteen, this is an example of qualitative data. If one says, the plant seems taller, more robust, greener--these are more examples of qualitative data.

If you're a Highly Sensitive Person, becoming an entrepreneur can be the best way to really thrive. And it can also be a challenge, at least in the beginning. Because HSPs get overwhelmed easily and take quite some time to recover from a negative experience ( such as a critical person offering unsolicited advice), it's super important
The Ups And Downs of Being An HSP
I'll never forget the time I bumped into a former teacher of mine and the only thing she said to me ( after not seeing me for 20 years) was ' You were always too sensitive.' No hello, just her attempt at insulting me. Because to many people in society, being 'sensitive' is considered a bad thing. And in her mind, I shouldn't have complained when kids bullied me or were unkind. Strange, but that's honestly her mentality, and sadly the mentality of most of the teachers at that particular school.
Let's face it. Being a Highly Sensitive Person in our world can be really rough. In order to thrive we need to stay true to ourselves and protect our feelings.
I'm not particularly proud of the fact that it takes me days or even weeks to recover from something negative that has happened, or that I actually have a physical reaction to stress. Nor do I feel happy that I overreact at times. But this is nonetheless how I was made, and I'm still happy to be me, and work hard at accepting that my nervous system and overall being is extremely sensitive to both environments and people.
As Highly Sensitive People, we shouldn't be ashamed to be different. It's society that should be ashamed for not making room for the artists and changemakers that see and feel things differently. Although things are changing!
But the good news is that even for introverts, HSPs, and vanguards, we can have the type of freedom & ease we so crave, thanks to the good ol' internet making working from home and entrepreneurship easier than ever!
Know Yourself
The best thing that HSPs can do is really get to know themselves, and to embrace who they are. There are a few tools that can help you do that, and that can also help you structure your coaching business around your sensitive nature.
Living Forward by Michael Hyatt helps you create a life plan so that you only do things that are in alignment with your desires and goals. This is so crucial because HSPs get extremely unhappy when they're doing things that don't feel right. And as a Life or Health Coach, you need to find the best business model for your HSP nature so that you're not only taking on the right kind of clients but working with them in a way that doesn't drain you.
Another great book is Life On Purpose by Victor Stretcher. This book had such a tremendous impact on my life and I recommend it to everyone. It will help you see the importance of finding & following your purpose, and dives into studies done on how purpose-driven people do in life & business. There is also a free app available that helps you stay in alignment with your purpose, but I suggest downloading it after you read the book.
Highly Sensitive Entrepreneurs may also benefit from doing Myers-Briggs and enneagram assessments, which are available online.
Knowing yourself well takes time and being gentle on yourself!
Set Up Nourishing Routines
It's integral that Life & Health Coaches set up nourishing routines, and even more so if you're an HSP. But I know what you're thinking.
Elizabeth, that sounds great and I agree. But after a day of trying Momming and trying to grow my coaching biz and doing Discovery Sessions, I barely have time to do the things I need to do as a parent & coach.
I feel you. I really, really do. Back when I had my very first blog ( a family travel site), I was in a very similar season of my life. Things were actually very rough, financially, for our family. We had just moved to Phuket from Italy, and my husband's job opportunity had fallen through. I took initiative and hustled my butt off at doing the only thing I knew how to do: write.
And I wrote about family travel, homeschooling, and holistic health.
I tried hard to grow my blogging biz in an attempt to sustain us while my husband was seeking employment, to no avail. I was consumed by trying to make ends meet and to take care of my then 3 year old.
But as busy as I was, I should have taken as good care of myself as I do now because I can almost guarantee it would have helped me to be more productive as a writerpreneur.
The types of nourishing routines you set up to help yourself as a highly sensitive entrepreneur may be very different than what I do, but consider the following:
+ Take 20 minutes to meditate/pray
+ Read a book that isn't related to your biz
+ Make yourself a hot cup of tea and savour it!
+ Take some adaptogenic herbs each day to help you feel more balanced
+ Nap when the kids do
+ Journal for a few minutes each day
+ Watch a movie or new TV series ( like Stranger Things on Netflix)
+ Go for an evening walk
+ Listen to a podcast while doing the laundry or cleaning
+ Diffuse calming essential oils
Be Selective
When I say you need to be selective, I mean about everything you do.
Be intentional about who you choose to hang out with, both online and off. I'm a Highly Sensitive Extrovert and very careful about how much time I spend at events or with large groups of people. I have a zero tolerance policy for hyper critical people who give unsolicited advice that's really just insults painted with an air of it's-for-your-own-good. Anyone that's a negative nancy that just haates the fact I'm an entrepreneur or homeschooling Mom or whatever else they deem isn't good enough is just not welcome in my life. Period. I'm uber accepting of people and their lifestyles and expect them to be the same with me. I want to lift people up, to the best extent that I can.
You know how our world teaches us to suck it up and deal with negative people and co-workers because they exist and we need to just take the blows they deal us? That's total BS. If you have a co-worker or boss at your 9 to 5 that sucks big time, you need to get out of there. You can't change a jerk nor should you have to be around them. Maybe I'm being harsh and I feel so much respect for people like my husband who don't take anything personally and can deal with mean people with ease, but that's just not me. And if you're an HSP, it's not you either.
This is why entrepreneurship can be a great thing for the sensitive woman: you can build a business around the people who lift you up and by doing the things you enjoy doing.
Think long and hard about what types of services you will offer as a Life/Health Coach ( or freelancer) and make sure both your Ideal Client Avatar and the way in which you deliver your services are a perfect match for you energetically.
Do you feel good when you work one on one with clients, or does that overwhelm you?
Would you prefer working with your Ideal Client for a 6 month period, or maybe only short term?
Or would you like to only do small group coaching or online workshops?
It took me about two years to realize that while I love working with my VIP coaching clients, I prefer to work only with a few at a time. I'd rather spend the bulk of my time creating content and doing freelance writing projects. This is the perfect balance for me.
An excellent, must-read book about doing less is Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Doing Less by Greg McKeown. This book is soooo good because it stresses the importance of doing work that matters, and to eliminate that which is meaningless or doesn't amount to much.
Establish Work Hours
Entrepreneurs can hustling their lives away, if they're not careful. Remember that while you're trying to grow your coaching biz, you also need to have a life. A great way to find that work-life balance so many of us struggle with is the set specific work hours for your biz, then let your family & friends know you can't be disturbed during those hours. I happen to work best in the evening, when my daughter is in bed. I do coaching sessions in the early evening my time, or late afternoon. The rest of my day is devoted to my family and to self-improvement/study and my nourishing routines.
As I mentioned above, I have had various seasons where I worked more and was in full on hustle mode. I'm now using an 'essentialist' approach and try to get super focused on what will help me grow my biz, and avoid overwork by limiting how often I'm on time/energy zapping sites (like Facebook).

In a nutshell, I want to live and work abroad (spain for the time being) and have a career which would allow me to work almost anywhere I like and that's where web design/maintenance comes in. I've read quite a few threads on various forums which have proved invaluable but I still need HELP! due to the mass of info out there. Basically, as I travel and work abroad often, I'm looking for a classroom based course where I can learn the basic ins and outs of web design/maintenance. I'm guessing here but a course of 1,2 intensive months would do the trick. I presume the course/courses will be costly but worth it in the long run! I realize that this course would just be the begginning of a long and continuous learning process but I already have the possibiltiy of 1 or 2 internships in Barcelona once I have the basics. I know the certforums peeps are friendly and helpful bunch so your knowledge and advice would be dearly appreciated!!! Cheers, Shaun

EAT LANSING, Mich (WLNS) – There is good news for college graduates who expect to be looking for jobs in the coming year.
According to Michigan State University's Recruiting Trends hiring is expected to jump 23 percent next year.
Driving that increase is a projected spike of 19 percent among companies hiring graduates with bachelor's degrees.
That number is nearly doubled, to 37 percent, by companies looking to hire graduates with associate's degrees.
Phil Gardner, survey author and director of MSU's Collegiate Employment Research Institute says "the college labor market has enjoyed six years of steady improvement since the depths of the recession between 2009 and 2010."
The report gathered information from 4,350 employers at companies of all sizes in all major industries.
Hiring is expected to climb for graduates at all levels with the lowest hiring percentage, 12 percent, for doctorates.
A majority, 70 percent, of the employers surveyed said growing business is behind the hiring surge.
The heaviest growth is expected in the hospitality and food services; finance; real estate and leasing; arts and entertainment; transportation; and retail and wholesale trade.

Tag Team Tech: Wrestling with Teens and Technology December 2013
The Paid Apps Teens Will Love in Winter 2013-2014
Sarah Ludwig
Teens often get iTunes gift cards at the holidays (and you might, too). According to teens, tech editors, and librarians, these are the best paid apps for teens this winter, from games to social media to education and more.
Minecraft Pocket Edition (4+; $6.99)
For the iPad or the iPhone, this app allows the Minecraft addicts in your life to continue playing wherever they are. Players do not need to have a Minecraft account. The game is less expansive than its PC or console equivalent, with fewer available resources, but all the essentials are there. Players can play on either creative or survival and can join each other's worlds if they're on the same WiFi network. Every single one of my sixth grade students has and loves this app.
Flow Free: Bridges (4+; $0.99)
Flow Free was introduced to me last year by two students who had become completely obsessed with it. I couldn't understand the initial appeal, but this soothing puzzle game is addictive. Players must connect colored dots on a grid without lines overlapping. The new version allows players to jump over lines using bridges, which adds to the challenge and the appeal. You may spend money in the game as well, for hints and for unlocking themes and levels.
My Talking Pet (4+; $0.99)
This silly, fun little app was recommended to me by a teen. Users can either snap a photo or choose one from their camera roll of an animal. Then they identify the mouth, chin, and eyes of the animal, speak into the microphone, and watch the pet recite back the words. The voice can be changed from deep (a big dog voice) to high-pitched (a mouse or a kitten). These images can be shared via social media or sent as a video to anyone. You can imagine the fun that teens must have with this.
Ultimate Guitar Tabs (4+; $2.99)
For the budding guitar player, this app offers the tabs and chords for over 800,000 songs, everything from the Beatles to Miley Cyrus. In-app purchases up to $10 include a tuner, instrument tracks, and the ability to customize the look and feel of the app, print tabs, and export tabs and chords to Dropbox. The most recent version of the app also include ukulele songs. For teens who are learning to play or who simply want to increase their repertoire, this is a great app.
Fruit Ninja (4+; $0.99)
The classic game was recommended to me by several teens who still play it frequently. In it, users try to slice as many fruits as they can using a samurai sword. There are different modes of gameplay, including arcade mode, zen mode, and an online multiplayer mode. There are numerous opportunities to purchase in-app features and players can be ranked on a global leaderboard.
Impossible Road (4+; $1.99)
This "minimal arcade game" asks players to guide a cart down a twisting, turning track that's no unlike a roller coaster. Each time you pass through a gate, your score goes up. Plus, the game actually encourages cheating. Teens can either compete with friends or try to beat their own high scores. Users who rate the game call it addictive, challenging, and "extremely fun."
Pandora One (12+; $3.99/month or $36/year)
This in-app purchase in the free Pandora radio app allows users to listen to music ad-free and skip an unlimited amount of songs. Teens can either pay by the month or spend big bucks on the annual fee. There are benefits to upgrading on the website version, as well–users can have custom skins and a higher sound quality.
Tetris (4+; $0.99)
This classic arcade game is still a hit with my 21st-century teens. The iOS version offers three modes: marathon, rank, and galaxy. The latter is multi-level. Players can join the T-Club for $2.99 a month to get "extra benefits" when they play–things like earning more T-Coins. (T-Coins can be spent on power-ups.) In-game purchase include T-Coin bundles and T-Club memberships.
Tiny Wings (4+; $0.99)
This game, which has been around since 2011, has over 16,000 reviews in the iTunes store. It features a bird with tiny, ineffectual wings who must launch itself from rolling hills in order to "fly." The game is extremely challenging, but players feel compelled to keep trying to beat each and every level. The graphics are charming and two game modes, Flight School and Day Trip, allow players to choose how they want to play.
Notability (4+; $2.99 on sale)
This best-selling note-taking app isn't as fun as some of the games written about here, but it's incredibly useful for any student who works on his or her iPad. Notability allows the user to annotate documents, create sketches, and import documents like books, PDFs, and PowerPoints. Students can also create audio recordings and record lecture notes. All of this data can be organized neatly by subject or any other taxonomy, making Notability the go-to app for teens who want to stay on top of all of their schoolwork in one powerful app.
Pimp Your Screen (4+; $1.99)
Users can completely customize the look of their iOS devices, including backgrounds, icons, and app shelves. Multiple skins are optimized for the most recent retina displays. You'll find seasonal content; categories like cartoon, sports, and animals; and home and lock screen themes. New content is added daily, allowing teens to have completely unique-looking phones and iPads that they can change whenever they want.
Twitteriffic (4+; $2.99 on sale)
The new version of Twitteriffic is designed for iOS 7, with the ability to view multiple timelines: mentions, direct messages, and your feed. Users can customize the display theme and filter out certain content from their feed, like hashtags, users, or URLs. With numerous features that go far above and beyond the native Twitter app, Twitteriffic is powerful, lovely, and intuitive, allowing for easy sharing, searching, and communicating.

but there were plenty of Summerhill type free schools around back in the
early seventies. Those have now gone. It is difficult to judge if
things are now moving further along or if they are only catching up to
where things were back then. From the Southern California perspective,
things are still going downhill.
Thank God for Unschoolers! In fact the rather large number of
unschoolers I've found has basically removed any desire I had to try and

Most years I make the mistake of trying to ride all four horses throughout the fall and winter, running into trouble, and then hiring a professional horse trainer in the spring, only to have the horses sit all summer. This year I decided to just get a head start by having the professional ride my horses first thing in the fall since they are out of practice between not being ridden much last spring due to the presence of the power company along the trails, and not being ridden much all summer due to the extreme heatwave.
I've already ridden Rock, and he seems to be fine. I don't want to ride Lostine much anymore since she stumbles and falls on her face. So, I just asked the horse trainer to ride Bombay and Gabbrielle. That way if someone comes out to look at buying one or both of them, the horses will have at least been ridden regularly and recently between both the horse trainer and I riding them.
He rode Bombay out alone first, and about the time he was heading back, I led Gabbrielle out onto the trails so that he and I could work on keeping both horses focused on us when they spotted each other. I'm tired of my horses getting hyper-excited over seeing people, horses and dogs on the trails. I want them to learn to focus on their rider/handler. Nothing worries me more than when the horse I'm riding forgets that I am on its back.
Bombay was perky, but wasn't acting out of control or dangerous like he has with me at times in the past. The horse trainer said he was fine. He crossed the busy road twice. He just had to hold him back on the way home, because Bombay wanted to walk right out in front of a truck. I was glad to know that Bombay behaved himself, but I always have to remind myself that however he behaves for my horse trainer, he's always going to be worse for me.
Then the trainer rode Gabbrielle out alone on the trails. She flunked the mounting process right away, which was upsetting. She's the one horse who always holds still for the mount and waits for her cue to move off, but on this day she took off and the trainer had to pull her head around and circle her. She balked at the gate, like she always does, but he got her through it pretty quick.
I led Lostine out onto the trails to meet them on their way back. Gabbrielle popped her head up when she saw us, but didn't balk like she usually does. I don't think Lostine could see her, because we were looking into the sun. I led Lostine up a different trail and let her graze, because there was no point in continuing on the head-on course since we'd end up meeting in a mud puddle.
Lostine wasn't paying attention and when she heard Gabbrielle's hoof beats, she jumped and ran until she hit the end of the rope. That spooked Gabbrielle, who took off running too. The horse trainer had to pull her head around and circle her several times to get her to settle down. I felt bad, because though I wanted the horses to practice meeting up with other horses along the trails without having freak outs, I didn't mean to cause Gabbrielle to spook while the trainer was riding her.
She was dripping with sweat after only being ridden at a walk for 45 minutes. The trainer said it was mostly nerves on her part. He had a few disagreements with her, because she wouldn't walk across ground that was darker in color due to being recently wet. He said that she took him through the middle of some bushes and trees, knocking his hat off his head twice. I was shocked. I know she spooks at stupid things, and I know she likes to scratch her rump and belly on bushes, but this sounded like she was trying to lose her rider.
I figured that riding her out without a buddy horse would be difficult, and I figured she'd balk at rain puddles, but I didn't expect such bratty behavior out of her. Obviously, she needs work. The good thing about this horse trainer is that not much scares or intimidates him, so he was happy to come again next week to do it all over again. Yeehaw!
However, the horse that really surprised me was Lostine. I've been leading and riding her out on the trails more consistently than the other horses, and she's usually calm and easy. After being spooked by having Gabbrielle come up from behind her, Lostine could not settle down. Leading her back to the barn was like leading a race horse. She was jigging sideways and throwing her head around. I had to choke up on the rope, because I felt like if her hind end got close enough to me she would kick me.
I was baffled by her behavior. I know it was near supper time, and thought perhaps Lostine was worried that Gabbrielle would get fed first since she was ahead of us. The herd dynamic always takes over at feeding time. I tried to talk the trainer into coming earlier so that the horses wouldn't be so anxious about eating, but his schedule is very limited. He was able to make an appointment a half hour earlier. I might just give the horses a snack before he arrives.
Anyway, I noticed that Lostine was wheezing. She doesn't have any nasal discharge, but seemed to have labored breathing during our walk. I'll have to keep an eye on it. It feels like she is aging fast this year. She's at a point where all she wants to do is stand in her favorite corner of the barn with her head hanging over a water trough. She was super annoyed with Gabbrielle when we cut everyone loose in the paddock. She kept chasing her around and biting her. I wondered if Lostine could tell that Gabbrielle had been a brat and treated the horse trainer poorly on their ride. If she was disciplining her, I was okay with that, because I think it's about time that someone deliver Gabbrielle's butt on a platter. She needs to be taken down a notch before one of the geldings or a rider gets seriously hurt.

Ugh. I'm so glad you have the horse trainer to help you out with them!! I wouldn't be worried about causing Gabrielle to spook. Wouldn't you rather he be the one to discipline the behavior than you having to do it? If she was perfect for the trainer that would defeat the purpose of hiring a trainer lol. So don't feel guilty. :) That's weird that Lostine wouldn't settle down. I think the herd dynamics just has everyone a little out of sorts. Hopefully selling Gabrielle will help some of the issues.

Argent Energy Trust has delayed promoting its $325-million initial public offering amid market turmoil that has weakened investor appetite for new energy products.
The company, which had planned to begin marketing early next week, has delayed that by a week, after oil plunged nearly $3.50 (U.S.) a barrel Wednesday, The Globe and Mail has learned.
The continued uncertainty in Europe and concerns about growth in China and the United States have also led to more challenging market prospects.
Argent still intends to wrap up its two weeks of marketing by the end of June, sources said.
The company is bidding to become the third new energy trust to trade in Toronto, following a model that has seen companies look to start trusts with foreign assets, shielding them from the taxation increases imposed by Ottawa in 2006.
But a roller-coaster ride in markets, and oil in particular, have made that a challenging venture. After hovering above $100 for months, oil has been plunging, touching seven-month lows this week. Crude inventories have been declining, and gasoline demand has been weak.
Those obstacles have tempered the outlook for new foreign asset income trusts, which have attracted substantial new interest in the oil patch. Entrepreneurs looking to capitalize on the investor thirst for yield have contemplated a series of new trusts using the model, some using energy assets, others using infrastructure assets from across the globe.
Those new trusts require substantial capitalization, however, which has been difficult to procure in difficult markets. Argent, for example, pulled back on an IPO attempt last year amid a declining market outlook. Another would-be entrant, North American Oil Trust, failed to raise the $375-million it was looking to raise for an IPO last year.

Distribution, Ecology and Habitat Use Of Otter Species in Oil Palm and Forest Estates in SAFE Project, Kalabakan, Sabah

Data use
Masters Project
Only a handful of studies have been made on otters in Malaysia. Whereas in Sabah, published information on the occupancy or habitat usage of otters is absent and accurate distribution of otter species is not well known in Borneo. Therefore, it is vital for researchers to focus on the study of otters in Sabah especially in their distribution and ecology as healthy river system and riparian reserves across the state play an important role in their survival. In Southeast Asia, the ecological function of riparian reserves is not precisely recognized (Gray et al., 2014). There are several studies done demonstrated how riparian reserves are able to serve as crucial environment for terrestrial invertebrates (Gray et al., 2014; Gray et al., 2015), fish (Giam et al., 2015) and aquatic invertebrates (Harding et al., 2006) as well as fundamental habitats and corridors for seed-dispersing forest birds (Şekercioğlu et al., 2015).
Out of the 13 species found worldwide, three reside in Borneo with certainty; they are Asian Small-Clawed Otter (Aonyx cinereus), Hairy-Nosed Otter (Lutra sumatrana) and Smooth-Coated Otter (Lutrogate perspicillata). The IUCN Red List classifies both A. cinereus and L. perspicillata as 'Vulnerable' while L. sumatrana as 'Endangered' (Wright et al., 2015; Aadrean et al., 2015; de Silva et al.,2015). L. sumatrana is the rarest and least understood among the three species found in Borneo and it is also endemic to Southeast Asia (Aadrean et al., 2015). All populations are declining due to various pressures, mainly the loss of habitat through anthropogenic destruction, pollution and illegal poaching (wildlife trade & product). There is clear evidence that all three species occupy separate niches in the ecosystem yet they do occur sympatrically (Kruuk et al., 1994). The species that is most likely to be found at the study site is A. cinereus as it has a wide range of habitat preferences.
This project will explore up to 18 streams located within primary forests, logged forests and oil palm plantations to investigate the distribution, habitat use and ecology of otter species in the study site. Apart from areas under SAFE, supplementary sampling will take place in riparian areas of adjacent oil palm plantations which are under Benta Wawasan Sdn. Bhd. and Sabah Softwoods Sdn. Bhd. Data from otter sign surveys through this research will be compared between riparian zones in areas currently being cleared for oil palm plantations (R0, R15, R30, R30N, R60, R120), established riparian reserves in oil palm plantations outside SAFE (RR2, RR3, RR7, RR12, RR14, RR16), forested control rivers (RLFE, RVJR, LFE) and control rivers in oil palm plantations with no riparian zone (ROP2, ROP9, ROP10).
Two techniques will be used in the observation of otter occupancy in the study site which includes: visual sign surveys and habitat characterization. Visual sign surveys through opportunistic observation will be carried out along stream banks to verify the existence of otters and to compare the differences in habitat use intensity between forested areas and oil palm estates. Each of the streams will be surveyed on two occasions by utilizing a 500 m walking visual sign transect carried out on each site. The visual signs comprises of direct encounters, spraints (faeces), foot prints and dens which will be documented. Spraints and prints will be aged (> 2 days, < days) to prevent repeated samplings.
Habitat characterization will be determined by the attributes of streams and shorelines, recorded at regular intervals along each transect to predict otter occupancy through the establishment of potential habitat covariants. Physical habitat data will comprise of stream type (run, riffle, pool and cascade), width, depth, and stream and shoreline substrate. Stream types are categorized as: run (smooth, non-turbulent flow), riffle (turbulent flow over rocks), pool (no flow) or cascade (vertical drop in flow). All refuges for instance boulders and logs will also be recorded. Vegetation of banks will be categorized by height, canopy cover and distance to stream edge. A 5 x 5 m vegetation plots will be applied in each riparian site to determine the degree of disturbances through the characteristics and condition of vegetation at the river bank. Altitudes of all areas will be verified by a handheld GPS (Garmin) while canopy cover will be distinguished by collecting photos of the canopy in each segment using a digital camera and then transferring the image wirelessly or by physically moving the memory storage card from the camera to the computer. The images will then be analyzed using the software ImageJ.
Site occupancy and detection probability of an individual will be by applying the modeling approach based on Mackenzie et al. (2006) which accounts for the likelihood of an individual inhabiting the area and being detected during a survey. The presence of otters dependent on habitat covariates will be modeled by the program PRESENCE (Hines, 2006).

Although associate degree programs provide students with adequate nursing training, a bachelor's degree provides greater clinical exposure and a stronger general education. A 4-year BSN program allows students to study specialized areas of nursing, including pediatrics, geriatrics and mental health nursing. An RN has to cope with more responsibility, and must oversee the work of LPNs and CNAs under their supervision. If you wish to continue advancement, a masters degree and several years of experience as a nurse, may qualify you for the Nurse Practitioner (NP) credential. Nursing job openings are projected to grow 16 percent over the coming decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. The average salary for nurses with an Associates degree was $43,700 in 2017, while nurses with a Bachelors degree earned $67,490 per year.
Certification requirements include board certification by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). The license period varies by individual state, but is usually valid for either two or three years, at which time you'll need to renew. Registered nurses (RNs) are not required to be certified in a particular specialty by state law. For example, it isn't necessary to be a Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN) to work on a hospital Medical-Surgical (MedSurg) floor, and most MedSurg nurses are not CMSRNs. To keep your license current, you must take continuing education courses, and renew your license every few years. There are a fixed number of credits that each state requires, and if you work in a hospital facility, these courses may be offered on-site. Beyond major requirements within the RN department, you may consider Bowie State University health information technology as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

I'm often asked by the uninitiated, "How can someone afford to eat your chicken ?" Well here's an excellent post by one of my favorite bloggers on how she feeds her family of three for a week on one pasture raised bird. I don't know the financial particulars of each household that consumes birds raised on our pastures, but I know that they all budget tightly for their nutrition. For them, the healthiest food has the highest priority and they know that we strive to produce the healthiest food possible. So if you are trying to work out how to make nutrient dense food fit your kitchen, start with pasture raised, non-GMO, soy-free chicken and take a read.
I used to teach a quilt class called Make Color Work for You, to show that the sky is the limit once you start manipulating the goods you have on hand. These two quilts use the same concept of the basic Barn Raising setting. One is an actual Log Cabin quilt the other is a Lady of the Lake using the barn raising setting of the blocks. Color did all the work.
I know you're wondering what in the heck do quilts have to do with chicken, but every Sunday I take a basic chicken and turn it into a lot of food for the week. I'm manipulating the goods to take an expensive bit of meat and turn it into meals for work, broth, dinners and dog food. Food patterns if you will. Despite what goes on at the supermarket with cheap subsidized chicken, chicken is not a cheap…

'I plan to present a sequence of sound scores I developed while studying 'Lishi' a Chinese Taoist MindBody/BreathEnergy practice in Davis, California. For this program I will focus on a series called "duets with non-humans" in which I co-create with entities and locations which generally fall outside of the boundaries of what is called human or sentient. My intention is to develop clear structures for training the movement of breath-sound-energy in collaboration with the natural world. These scores continue to change as my practice deepens, and as I share them with others.
Invited local accoustic musicians will join me for a group improvisation during the second half of the performance. Please contact below if you would like to be involved. The public are welcome to immerse themselves in listening during the event or join in vocally, energetically or expressively as felt.'

These scores emphasize listening practices and can be accomplished with any combination of instruments and sounds. Participants are encouraged to bring instruments to experiment with, although nothing but your own voice is required and simply listening is always a welcome form of participation.'

MinuteHack's marauding gang of frothing hacksView Author Profile
Tennis champ has built a portfolio of 17 UK start-ups via strategic partnership with a crowdfunding website.
Tennis champ has built a portfolio of 17 UK start-ups via strategic partnership with a crowdfunding website.
Tennis ace Andy Murray has dipped into his considerable career winnings to invest in two fast-growing UK tech start-ups via the Seedrs crowdfunding platform.
Murray's latest investments, the value of which were undisclosed, add to his growing portfolio of investments in promising British tech firms, which now total 17 on the crowdfunding site alone.
They include Perkbox, a perks and benefits scheme, which surpassed its £1.5 million target on Seedrs and at time of writing was overfunding by 270% with more than £4 million raised through 230 investors in four days.
Murray joins VC firm Draper Esprit which led the round with £2.5 million investment, alongside Zoopla's Alex Chesterman.
The start-up, which launched in January 2015 and has more than 300,000 paying members including British Gas, BUPA and Deliveroo, has generated more than £14 million in revenues.
The company bills itself as the go-to solution for combatting staff turnover and low productivity in the workplace, encouraging managers to reward team members.
WeSwap claims to be the world's first peer-to-peer travel money platform and has so far raised £1.8 million from over 2,200 individual investors including Ascot Capital, overfunding by 185%.
In the past 12 months the start-up has grown by 204%, with more than 200,000 new users joining the WeSwap community.
Dubbed "the people's currency exchange", WeSwap exchanges currency directly between real people, so users receive the fairest rate by cutting out the middleman.
Talking about his new investments Murray said: "I'm continuing to grow my portfolio through Seedrs and have tried to choose companies from different sectors as much as possible.
"I was interested in Perkbox as I employ a number of people through my own sports management company, the 77 Group, as well as a number of independent contractors like physios, coaches and trainers.
"WeSwap was interesting to me because I travel so much around the world. I thought this was a really clever idea and could immediately see the gap in the market for this business to work."
Murray is not the only famous sportsman to back UK start-ups, however. In August, former world champion boxer David Haye revealed an investment in Syft, an app allowing people to apply for work in hospitality and events organisations.
The app is used by candidates to agree dates and specify the number of shifts they want to work.

Welcome to the new Crafty Games forums! - same great content, new forum smell. New Members: You must post 5 replies to existing threads before you can create new threads.
Some quick feedback on the races (which look very good to me, having not looked at the rulebook in a while):<1>- I'd be a bit more generous with those attribute bonuses. I have admittedly never tried to create a race with the FC guidelines, but I think a conversion should at least try to hit all of the bonuses. The stat differences in SR are large (I mean, come on, a Troll gets a CON bonus that's almost as large as the regular human maximum; that'd be +15 in FC). They don't have to be as large, since the game balances differently, but if you keep the straightup numbers from SR3 I think you have a good starting point. <2>- The races in SR are not balanced per their overall bonuses. Balancing happens through the point cost/priority cost. I think it would be perfectly fine to either create base races that achieve SR heights only by adding a feat (eg, base troll is +3 CON, +2 STR, and with feat becomes +5 CON, +4 STR), or by losing an action dice (the latter route balanced races in the somewhat related Earthdawn)<3>- I don't think the dwarves' wounds should be adjusted for height. Dwarves are among the tougher things in Shadowrun, and reducing their wounds to 2/3 CON makes them squishier than humans.
1 - While I understand what you are saying, you would loose the ability to give them anything BUT stat bonuses if we try for the heights presented in the source material. While we are approaching it from different directions Mr. A and I agree that getting the feel of the race is more important than a literal conversion.
Give dwarfs Rock Solid. then their wounds level up with them.
Another thought for you, this time on a new Wealth stat:ChromeYour Chrome score summarizes your transition away from the flesh to the technological. As your Chrome increases, so does the amount and complexity of your cybernetics, as well as your distance from the unaugmented. Your Chrome score may ordinarily never be higher than your Prudence+1, and you may only purchase Chrome if you have the cybernetics interest.Additional Prizes: This is the number of additional prizes you may hold, provided they are in the form of a cybernetic upgrade.Error Range: While the use of cybernetics is increasing, it is a sad fact that some people respond poorly to visible prosthetics. Each time you make a Charisma-based skill check targeting another character, your error range increases by this amount when your Chrome score exceeds the target's Wisdom modifier or they do not share your cybernetics interest.
Body | Agility | Reaction | Strength | Charisma | Intuition | Logic | WillConstitution | Dexterity/Defence | Reflex/Initiative | Strength | Charisma | Wisdom | Intelligence | Will/Resolve
Here's another take on the various species. I think we are getting closer:
Spoiler: Dwarf showDwarfType: Small Folk (1x1, Reach 1). Your maximum wounds are equal to your Constitution score x 2/3 (rounded up).Attributes: +1 Strength, +1 Constitution, +1 WisdomBase Speed: 20 ftCrunch!: Your Strength based damage rolls inflict an additional +1 damage.Darkvision II: You gain the darkvision II quality.Improved Stability: You are considered 1 size category larger for the purpose of carrying capacity, trample attacks, and resisting Bull Rush and Trip attempts so long as you're standing firmly on the ground and not climbing, flying of riding.Iron Gut: You gain an insight bonus equal to your Constitution modifier with saves against disease and poisons (minimum +1)[/spoiler]Small bonuses across the board better reflect the source material.
Once we get the races sorted out, we need to fix one of my pet peeves: Ammo. Dammit, all heavy pistols don't use the same ammo! Submachine guns use pistol ammo! WHAARRGRBLE! Anyway, we can fix that later.
I assumed that the setting had an implicit "in the future weapon calibers are agreed upon" sort of thing. Like NATO rounds, but more so. So everyone uses ".45ACP" for their "heavy pistols" and so on. SMGs are a different matter, but that was my in-setting assumption on the other one.
I'm going to do a final review this afternoon and then make some decisions.

It's day two of Ali Edwards' Week in the Life project and let me tell you, it was a long day.
I took a total of 5 photos today. I can't share one of them because it has to do with a project I was working on at work, and it's pretty boring.
One thing I wanted to do today was take a few photos of my morning on my way to work. Yesterday, I got a photo of walking up to my building so today I tried to fill in the gaps of what I do to get there. It was very dark when I got up, so my photos of getting ready didn't work out, but I did get a photo of the overcast skies and my coffee for the day.
I don't always stop at Starbucks, but I do it often enough that including it in this week's stories was natural. I'm stopped at a stoplight in the photo, I don't take photos while driving.
One photo I try to take a few times throughout the Week in the Life project is my desk at work. I sometimes use my timer and take a photo of me working to get me in the photo and to show how my outfits change throughout the week.
I'm 2 for 2 on getting an elevator selfie this week, so I think I will try to keep getting those photos in order to show what I'm wearing to work. I took two elevator photos today and decided this one is the winner. My early morning photo was had me looking a little rough around the edges and was very similar to yesterday's photo. This photo includes something I work with on a regular basis and I know I will recognize this orange folder in the future as I look back on these photos.
Things I didn't get to document today:
- Listening to a podcast as I got ready this morning
- Lunch with Ben and Carolyn at Rubio's for Taco Tuesday
- The big red mark on my left cheek from leaning against my wrist for too long while reading reports
- Starting The Handmaiden's Tale as soon as I got home. I'm just over halfway through the book. (Amazon Affiliate link. If you're a Prime member, you can get this book on Kindle for free this month. If you're interested in getting even more titles, check out Kindle Unlimited)
- Making dinner (simple pasta), watching basketball, checking in for a flight for my boss
