Mother's Day is a month away. Prevalent stereotypes notwithstanding, some nerds are of the female persuasion, some of them are not :foreveralone:, and some have contributed human life to the population of earth. It's true–some nerds are moms.
For those readers who expect to shop for nerdy mothers, below is a list of items to provide inspiration, as well as a list of items to possibly avoid. Be thoughtful in your selections, because as someone–probably the Bard of Avon–once said, "When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."
10 Nerdy Mother's Day Gifts
1. Princess Leia Hoodie – $50.00 (Amazon.com)
May is perhaps a bit warm for a hoodie, but no weather is too warm for a Princess Leia hoodie. It has buns.
2. Mutewatch – $259.00 (Amazon.com)
What appears to be a trendy, minimalist band becomes a touch-screen watch, responsive to different types of taps and swipes. When the battery is depleted, the watch may be recharged via USB in about 2 hours.
3. Floppy Disk Sticky Notes – $12.00 (Amazon.com)
Sticky notes make the world function more smoothly. Sticky notes that look like floppy disks make the world more nerdy.
4. Smartphone Joystick – $6.99 (Amazon.com)
Smartphone games with direction pads are impossible to play. The slightest bit of sweat or skin oil can render the screen unresponsive, stealing your shot at a new high score. If your mom enjoys a little smartphone FPS action, this suction-cup joystick may be her new best fiend.
5. Molecular Mojito Set – $30.00 (Amazon.com)
Mojitos are awesome; molecular mojitos are epic.
6. Social Media Icon Pillows – $18.00 to $28.00 (Craftsquatch on Etsy)
Craftsquatch makes really amazing pillows styled after social media icons. Be careful with the Instagram pillow, though: any dreams experienced while sleeping on the pillow immediately become property of Instagram.
7. Comic Apparel – $2.00 to $80.00 (Customcomix on Etsy)
If your mom is into comic books, Customcomix's Etsy shop may seem like heaven. They offer rings, bracelets, earrings, and even shoes, and all of their work is artfully done.
8. Pixel Heart Mug – $11.99 (ThinkGeek)
Legend of Zelda style. Adding coffee or another warm beverage to the mug causes the heart to refill. Do you take your health potion with cream and sugar?
9. RPG-Scented Oils – $13.49 to $17.99 (ThinkGeek)
Does your mom host late night D&D events? Here's her chance to add a new level of sensory engagement to her dungeon master skillz. With these scented oils from ThinkGeek, she can make your home smell like one of the following: cleric, fighter, mage, paladin, ranger, rogue, neutral, lawful, chaotic, good, or evil.
10. Baby Buffering T-Shirt – $21.99 (CafePress)
Here's a special one for expectant mothers, who also happen to be nerds.
5 Mother's Day Gifts to Avoid
1. DIAF Thong – $12.50 (CafePress)
Or any type of thong, really.
2. Mouse Cursor Oven Mitts – $7.31 (Amazon.com)
The subliminal message: get your nerdy self in the kitchen.
3. Freudian Slippers – $25.99 (Amazon.com)
No. What? No. Not for your mother, not for any mother. Ever.
4. DYI Last Will and Testament Kit – $19.99 (Ebay)
Whomever presents this gift is sure to be written out of it.
5. Baby Buffering T-Shirt – $21.99 (CafePress)
. . . when presented to mothers who are not expecting.

Ex Recovery System Review
"Ex Recovery System" is no longer for sale.
You can read my other reviews.
The person you love most in the world has just walked out of your life and you're really struggling to deal with that. You've invested a lot both emotionally and personally in this relationship so seeing it end is, no doubt, absolutely devastating for you. You're probably reading this review because you're wondering if there's any hope of you ever getting your ex back.
The good news is that there's a very good chance that you'll be able to not only patch things up between you and your ex but also build a new and stronger relationship as a result of that – all with the help of the Ex Recovery System (ERS) of course!
About The Program Creator - Ashley Kay
Ashley Kay is an online dating and relationship expert who shares her knowledge, experience and suggestions on everything relationship with men and women from all walks of life and from all over the world. In a very short space of time Ashley has created a larger-than-life social media presence and has produced dozens of YouTube videos to help lots and lots of people with their relationship problems. The Ex Recovery System was created by Ashley to help as many people as possible simultaneously with their relationship problems.
Is The Ex Recovery System For You?
The first thing I need to mention here is that this infoproduct is suitable for both men and women so you won't need to worry about that. The Ex Recovery System has proven to be a very popular relationship self-help program since it was released. It continues to gain fans from all over the world, due to it's success in delivering on its promises.
The actual eBook itself is a downloadable PDF that's 130-pages in length and is split up into 4 different sections to guide you through the process of getting your ex back. This isn't just your standard type of "get your ex back" infoproduct. The eBook encourages you to assess your progress as you're working through it so you can see where you're making progress and basically that it's checking you're understanding what Ashley Kay is trying to "teach" you about relationships.
How The eBook Breaks Down
Sections 1 & 2 – Understanding And Analysis
- These sections explain why the breakup happened and how to deal with both your feelings and the pain of loss afterwards. Really understanding what went wrong in your relationship is obviously the first step in making things right with your ex and stopping those mistakes from every happening again.
Section 3 – Action Plan
- Here is where you get to create your very own step-by-step action plan to get your ex back – you won't be just using some generic one-size-fits-all plan to achieve this. Your action plan is customized just for you and nobody else.
Section 4 – Taking Action
- This section is self-explanatory but you do need to follow each of the steps carefully for the whole plan to tie together.
You will also get these bonuses:
Bonus #1 - The Ex Recovery System Video Course
- Ashley will personally step you through each module of the system. She handhold you through the strategy that goes perfectly with the main eBook guide.
Bonus #2 - The Secret Ex Code Video
- You will be able to break into his/her mind unsuspectingly and read his/her most private thoughts. You will have a naked look into what he/she is really thinking and feeling.
Bonus #3 - The Facebook Magnet Effect
- How do you communicate without communicating directly? You use the inbuilt tools within Facebook to send subliminal messages and do the seductive dirty work for you. This handy guide will show you how.
Bonus #4 - 7 Deadly Persuasion Secrets
- Some of the most advanced and deadly secrets that will trigger his/her desires completely under the radar.
- What I really liked about the Ex Recovery System is that Ashley Kay has obviously taken her time in dealing with men and women in a different way and taking care of their specific emotional needs while using this program.
- It also delves deeply into the actual psychology involved in relationships so you'll learn a lot from just studying the material Ashley presents you with and the eBook is so clear you'll never find yourself getting lost.
- What did bug me though is that the information for men and women is kinda muddled together so you have to skip over entire sections only dedicated to men and vice versa.
- I also didn't like the section about how to get your ex back even if they're with somebody new – that's a little bit seedy and I would never encourage anyone to try to break up what might be a perfectly happy couple.
All in all Ashley Kay has created something very unique in the Ex Recovery System. I feel it can definitely be of benefit to anyone struggling with the after-effects of a breakup and, of course, a desire to get back together with your ex.

Each night after I eat dinner around 9:30 p.m. I am ready to sleep. I become so stuffed I can't fathom doing anything but star-fishing on the bed and relaxing for a bit, but I can't. I have to be strong willed and complete more homework and items on my to-do list. After being here for the semester my body has adjusted to eating late in the evening, except the longing to face plant on my bed has not disappeared. At first I was alway starving by 7:00 p.m. and thought I would never be able to adjust to eating so late, however my body has shocked me by its ability to adapt and now I have found that I love eating later in the evening, even when I have more work to do after. I will miss the late night dinners and having a nice study break around 9:00 each night, but I will be taking this Spanish custom back to the U.S. and can't wait to eat later in the evenings, around 7:30 or 8:00, each day. It's a great way to avoid the cravings for a late night snack and munching.
Mid-terms in November
Oofta-weefta, I am exhausted. These past two weeks have been nothing but studying, reviewing, creating power points, writing essays and more for my mid-terms in all five of my classes.
Whoever said there was no studying while you study abroad had it wrong.
Last Friday was a day filled with two exams, one covered Hispanoamericana literature and the other was on old Castilian and mid-evil literature. If your mind just exploded trying to figure out what constitutes being either of those that, try studying it for five days straight.
The weekend provided a little break but consisted of more studying in order to prepare for my midterm in Spanish culture on Monday, and theology on Tuesday, but nothing prepared me for advanced grammar Tuesday afternoon. That was just brutal and worth 40 percent of my grade. Can't wait to see that...
Wednesday was a recooperacion for last weeks Theology classes where we presented a power point presentation on a book in the Bible. It was a grand three and a half hours straight of Theology. Judith, my assigned book and biblical figure, and I are now best buds after all the time we have doesn't together this past week.
I will admit it is a little aggravating seeing all the photos and hearing all the stories of people studying abroad via other programs through Marquette that do not have as heavy of a course load it would seem. The students here in the Marquette en Madrid program and I have all expressed the desire to be able to travel for a week and not have to worry about the repercussions of missing classes, or being severely behind on assignments and material but unfortunately we can't so we take it with a grain of salt and use the three day weekends to our advantage. After these mid-terms I could use a vacay and look forward to Barcelona and Brussels in the coming two weeks. For now, I will just live vicariously via students studying in the King's College program in London, England or the John Cabot University program in Rome, Italy.
Christmas wreath outside Starbucks entrance.
Sitting in a Starbucks is far from what I would call a cultural experience, but sometimes you need a little taste of home. So as a treat from studying since nine this morning at the apartment (it is now 7:30 p.m., almost eleven hours of straight studying) I decided I needed a pick-me-up and a Starbucks apple crumble latte sounded like it would tickle my fancy.
After walking around the neighborhood for a bit and printing some things for class I ventured to the Starbucks a block away from the apartment in Arguelles and saw my first Christmas wreath in Madrid hanging on the door. I entered and what greeted me? "Jingle Bells," possibly my favorite Christmas song ever. OK, maybe not ever it's a close call between "The Christmas Song" by James Taylor, "All I Want for Christmas" by Mariah Carey and any version of "Jingle Bells."
I know, I know, it is not even Thanksgiving, but it's midterms and I love Christmas because it is the one time my whole family is together and the bickering is at a minimal. Sorry mom, it's true.
Now, back to Starbucks.
If you have never had an apple crumble latte you absolutely need to try one. It's everything about Christmas in one sip: the apple, the cinnamon, the whipped cream, a smile can't help but spread across your face when the hot milk reaches your tongue and you taste the delicious taste of, dare I say it again… Christmas.
As I type this The Beach Boys's "Little Saint Nick" just came on and another smile can't help but creep onto my face, you can't not be happy during the Holiday season. Music tells you to be joyful (and triumphant), you are close to spending a nonstop, possibly too much, amount of time with your family and you get to eat delicious food. That all sounds incredibly wonderful, I don't know what there is to be grumpy about.
Currently, my cute, red, Christmas Starbucks coffee cup that contains my delicious apple crumble latte, is sitting on the table next to my computer as I plow away on Theology. My once disgruntled face is now relaxed as I recall all the unforgettable holidays I have had in my life and the fact that I am very lucky to be abroad and to have had the experiences I have had in my life. It was almost a year ago to this day that I was processing my visa applications to go to India with Diederich College of Communication, and now after a great journey there I am here. It is crazy what the world has in store for you.
I leave you with a question posed by the great Charlie Brown: "Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?" I know what my answer is, but do you?
That being said, as I take my last sip of the Christmas-in-a-cup-latte, I sign off from this blog post and wish you a happy start to the week. Christmas countdown: 37 days.
Fiesta de la Virgen de la Almudena
When people say they are bored in Madrid, Spain my nose and lips become scrunched together and my eyes become a little narrower, it's a look of confusion and wonder. I ask myself, how do people get bored in Madrid?
Last Friday I was guilty of being bored. I was tired of studying, I was sleepy and I really just did not want to learn anymore about the book of Judith in the Old Testament. I'm all for an empowered woman, but three hours was enough time with her for one day. Luckily, it was puente (an official three-day weekend holiday) for the Festival of the Virgen de la Almudena, the female patron saint of Madrid, and two other girls and myself decided to immerse ourselves one step further into the Spanish culture and see what a religious festival in Madrid was like.
Virgen de la Almudena exiting the Catholic cathedral.
The Virgen de la Almudena (Virgin of Almudena) is the icon of the Virgin Mary and is the image of the advocation, or summoning, of the Virgin that also is the patroness of Madrid. The devotion to la Virgen de la Almudena began in the 11th century and is celebrated every ninth of November.
According to the history of Our Lady and the history of Spain under the ruling of Dom Alfonso VI it was when Alfonso reconquered Madrid in 1083 from the Moors, who conquered the city in the eighth century, that Almudena made her presence known in a rather spooky manner. King Alfonso VI wanted the Catholic cathedral, Santa María la Real de La Almudena, to be purified after being neglected and misused by the Moors. The statue of Our Lady, placed by the Apostle St. James in Santa María, had disappeared and the King, along with other religious administrators and powers, held a procession to find the statue. They walked throughout the city and around the walls praying to God for help in order to find the statue of Almudena. They sang and prayed while waving scents along the way until at one point part of the wall fell and they found the statue of la Virgen de la Almudena, which had apparently been there, hidden, for over 300 years. The even more spooky part is that next to the statue were two candles that were still burning. At this point in history the statue was named Our Lady, not Almudena. It was when Alfonso and his religious authorities found the statue that they named her Almudena, meaning market or granary, because she was hidden near the Moorish granary.
Madrileños watching the procession in front of Santa María.
When we arrived at the metro stop Ópera the number of people walking around the area was greater than usual. The holiday was only for Madrid and with a number of banks, shops and museums being closed as well as schools and other employees being off for the holiday the streets were buzzing with traffic.
We headed to Santa María la Real de La Almudena next to Palacio Real where the mass, celebration, and procession were taking place. Along the way were vendors selling flowers, people young and old, the occasional newborn babies dressed in all white and bonnets on their heads, and whole families in tow were at the festival. I had never seen so many Madrileños in one place, except for a Real Madrid game.
When we arrived at Plaza de la Almudena the square was full. The service, traditionally held outdoors at Plaza de España, was moved inside the cathedral due to the rain, drawing even more people to the plaza. We ventured towards the end of the square farther from the busy streets to watch the offerings of the flowers and listen to the service. Though none of us in our group of three are terribly religious, we found it nice to follow the service while standing in the crowd and take in the aroma of the thousands of flowers that were continuing to fill the temporary wall that was built for the holiday. As we stood for an hour or so we watched people pray, sing, gab and really just be happy to pay respects to their female patron saint. I was in awe with how many people were coming and going, if they had to work they paid their respects to the Virgen de la Almudena and quickly left after saying a prayer, others arrived before us and left after listening to the mass over the speakers.
After watching the flowers multiply we moved closer to the cathedral to watch the procession that would begin soon. I am not sure what I expected, but seeing hundreds of people exit the cathedral in black dresses and vales, alter boys and priests in white cloaks and superbly dressed people of importance (though we couldn't tell you who they were or why they are of significance) was not what I was expecting. I was thinking it would be an intimate crowd that would exit the church and that maybe they would also say a few words to the crowd outside in the rain, and even walk over to the wall of flowers and give an offering, but none of that happened. I'm not saying it is good or bad, it's just not what I expected.
Following the beginning of the procession and the first round of incense being swayed into the air and wafted by the public the heavily decorated gold wagon with a statue of Almudena was brought out from the center isle of the church and down the red ramp for the Madrid community to see. Suddenly the crowd began to clap, then the clapping turned to singing lead by the priest inside the cathedral. While the singing continued the clapping regained momentum and I watched as people in the crowd began to radiate happiness with their smiles. Those who were close to the ramp stretched out their arms to touch the flowers on the wagon and reached further to wards the top, as if every inch that was closer to Almudena would change their lives. The passion during the entire festival was profound. I have never seen so many people in one place to pay respects to a patron saint, or any saint for that matter. At this point I felt really lucky to be a part of a community celebration that I would never get the chance to experience in the United States or possibly ever again.
The statue of Our Lady and the entire procession then left the Plaza de la Almudena and walked through the streets of Madrid. The street procession went through the standard route of Puerta de Sol, Plaza Isabell II, and the Plaza Oriente. As we left the streets were beginning to become less crowded but people followed the patron saint down the street at a gradual pace. One last glance behind me showed the flowers adding a brilliant hue to the overcast sky and an aroma that reminded me of newly blossomed flowers in my garden at home. All I could wonder right then and there was , Who could ever be bored in Madrid?
Studying turns into finding memes
As I study for the three exams and two papers I have this week I can't help but get distracted. You check your Facebook, look at Twitter and see if Ted has posted anything funny lately, drink the tea your señora made you because you're sick, and then you wind up looking at memes.
I don't know who created memes, how they became so popular or why I find them so amusing, but the other students and I have been studying all day and I decided to bring a little joy to them by posting a meme in our group page on the fact that you only live once, more commonly known in it's acronym form: YOLO.
We all thought it was work a chuckle, hopefully you do too.

Washington (ANI): Singer Stefani Germanotta, aka Lady Gaga, has struck up a provocative pose in the nude for style magazine V. She was seen sporting a curly, Pamela Anderson-style hairdo, posing among sand dunes, wearing bondage gear and a see-through lace mini-dress, reports Contactmusic.
In one of the candid photos, she is pictured wearing a breast-bearing bra under an off-the-shoulder shirt, and, in another saucy shot, she arches her back in a figure-hugging black leather corset.
This is not the first time Lady Gaga, 23, has posed naked for a magazine shoot, she recently appeared on the front of Rolling Stone wearing nothing but heavy make-up and a see-through bubble corset.

Dummy's guide to wiring your home internet. The alternative to home WiFi for under $10
I have a wireless router and it functions just fine, but I need to get the most out of my internet's potential bandwidth, and WiFi just won't cut it especially when transferring large files to-and-from FTP's or playing First Person Shooters on a consistent basis.
I've heard of a lot of cases where someone's wireless router is too far from their laptop, XBox360, or PS3 to get good WiFi reception. Instead of calling an electricion, drilling holes, trying to manage with Wifi extenders, or just waving your laptop around in the air to get better reception, I always give them this list of items to get off of Amazon to remind them that wired internet is insanely better and still an option.
Here's what you need to run a cable across your home.
- 100ft ethernet cable – RJ45 CAT5 CAT5E Ethernet LAN Network Cable 100ft White
- Clips for ethernet cable – Gardner Bender #PCS-100 1/4″100/BX Coax Staple
- Run your new 100 ft cable across the house, and into your gaming console or PC.
- Use a hammer to mount your clips and ethernet cable up walls, along the ceiling, floor, door frames etc. to keep things tidy, and prevent people from tripping over cords on the floor.
Depending on your situation.. You also might need:
- A hammer to nail clips into the wall – 8-oz. Tubular Steel Claw Hammer
- Another small cable or two – Ethernet Cable, CAT5e – 25 ft White
- Cable extender (in case 100 ft isn't enough) – RJ45 Coupler F-F Straight
- A Router – Cisco-Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router
- A Hub – NETGEAR FS605NA 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch
- A Hub will let you split the signal once again into 4. So if you have multiple devices across the house, you can run your 1 long cable into the hub, and plug everything else into it to prevent having to mount a ton of cords across your home.
- Cable modem in living room
- 5 ft. ethernet cable from Cable Modem to Router IN
- Three 5ft. ethernet cables from Router OUT to PS3, Macbook, and PC
- One 100 ft ethernet cable from Router OUT, across house and IN to a HUB
- Four 5 ft ethernet cables OUT from HUB and IN to Xbox360, Mac Pro, and PC.
- The router also supports WiFi for laptops, iPads, and mobile devices around the house so I can be disconnected if I want.
Here's how my cable flow goes.
Hopefully this helps someone.
I know I've had to gather these links for a few people, and it'll be nice to just give them this post instead.

It's not even funny that they keep letting him through, but don't let through people who actually have talent are serious about what they do.

text: I was wondering how you guys handle those customers who always have toys, bikes, hoses and you name it all over the lawn. I always ask my customers to pick-up before mowing day, but some never do. Do you charge extra for having to stop the mower 20 times? Do you write a clause in your contract? Where do you draw the line? I'm tired of spending more time cleaning up than mowing. Thanks

Some of you guys know, I'm in the process of relocating to Denver at the end of August. I'm completely broke thanks to my last job laying me off after my month long tour with Arliss Nancy. Okay, they didn't lay me off so much as they just stopped scheduling me… But that's pretty much what happened.
Anyways, we've finally broken even on the WHITE Mostly Harmless #2 shirts. What a bad idea that was. They look great, but no one wants white T-shirts. Anyways, to celebrate and to help fund the upcoming move to Denver, we've decided to offer FREE SHIPPING on those bad boys in our store. We're out of Mediums, but we have plenty of the rest. We're also down to the last handful of Koala bear shirts. Those are on sale for $6, but still have shipping and handling. If you want to buy both, we'll make it work!
So if you are a fan of the show, this is the easiest way to help me out and make things happen!
Check out the webstore at: http://mostlyharmlesspodcast.bigcartel.com
Thanks so much for your continuing support!

No backtracking needed for this endeavor for Ashlee Simpson. Acid reflux or not Ashlee has decided to cut out the singing and take on Hollywood to become an actress.
And Simpson isn't going to take just any role offered to her – she wants "indie-style" and "quirky characters". Simpson tells VH1: "Those are the ones I know I'll have to stretch out of myself to become. That's what I want right now. But I'm not necessarily jumping into one certain role. I want to have a more diverse career."
Stretch herself with the quirky roles? What the fuck is she smoking? Did she see her reality show on MTV, her spaz out on VH1, or her singing during that bowl game? You want to stretch Ashlee why don't you try being a real singer!
This was a great acting job!!

Former San Francisco 49ers receiver Dwight Clark announced Sunday that he was diagnosed with ALS. Clark is well known for his epic catch that led to his team winning the 1982 NFC Championship game. Clark earned two Super Bowl Rings while playing with the 49ers, and later became the team's General Manager.
Clark wrote an open letter sharing his story. You can read his letter here. (http://debartoloholdings.com/dwightclark.html)
Clark wrote in his letter: "I've got to devote all my energy preparing for this battle and I would hope you can respect my family's privacy as I begin this challenge. My ultimate hope is that eventually I can assist in finding a cure for ALS, which disrupts the lives of so many and their loved ones."
Our thoughts and prayers are with Dwight Clark and his family. The ALS Association Greater New York Chapter is fighting alongside Clark and all our PALS to help find that cure.

Every day we confront choices that have been quantified for us - expressed as probabilities. Little choices like do you take an umbrella or do you buy a lottery ticket? And big choices - imagine facing this kind of choice - do one thing and it might mean you will die very soon or it might mean you'll live for decades in good health. Do another thing and it might mean that your health will decline and you'll die in a few years. And to each of those possibilities there is a percent likelihood attached. That's the kind of choice Brian Zikmund-Fisher faced.
BRIAN ZIKMUND-FISHER: My story begins with being discovered while I was in graduate school actually with a blood disorder called Myelodysplastic Syndrome that causes your body to fail to produce blood cells the way it should and in my case, made me be much more susceptible to bleeding. We found it because I got a huge bruise up and down my left arm after I was playing racquetball.
SIEGEL: Brian was 28. For months he got platelet transfusions every eight days. That helped but the benefit was limited without major treatment, Brian was told, he had about 10 years to live. At the time, his wife was pregnant with their first child. The major treatment he could take was a bone marrow transplant and his doctor said the probability was good that the transplant would cure him.
ZIKMUND-FISHER: And that that good probability was about 70 percent chance. So if I did the transplant I would have a 70 percent chance of having a long life but the transplant itself - because of the chemotherapy, because of the infection risks - had roughly a 25 to 30 percent chance of killing me within six months to a year.
SIEGEL: At the time, you said you were a graduate student.
ZIKMUND-FISHER: Yes.
SIEGEL: Your field of study?
ZIKMUND-FISHER: I was a graduate student in social and decision sciences, studying how to make complex decisions.
SIEGEL: Brian Zikmund-Fisher says he applied his own intellectual discipline to the biggest choice of his life - with all the numbers in-hand.
ZIKMUND-FISHER: But even with those numbers it was an incredibly difficult task. It was going to be decided based upon truly understanding my own values and whether I could live with the possible outcome of having the transplant not work.
SIEGEL: And his dying within a year. Brian Zikmund-Fisher decided on the basis of factors that you just can't quantify - it was all about his family. He concluded that with no transplants and 10 years of life he would get to know his then unborn daughter but to her he would likely be an invalid - a father in and out of hospitals and those weren't the 10 years that he wanted. So rather than the sure but unsatisfying course, he chose to gamble. He had the bone marrow transplant 15 years ago.
ZIKMUND-FISHER: My experience, my outcome has been very positive. I was on a hospital floor with 20 other patients going through very similar procedures. Four of them never left the floor, I was one of the lucky ones.
SIEGEL: That experience drove home the reality that probabilities while useful are limited in their ability to predict what will happen to any one person.
ZIKMUND-FISHER: We're never 90 percent alive. We either live or die. We experience outcomes. On a population level, of course, I can have 100 people in a room and some will have something happen to them and the others will not. And so it's that population level idea of risk that we try to apply to an individual when we talk about probability.
SIEGEL: Which as you say is essentially ill fitting at some level since I am not a population.
ZIKMUND-FISHER: No you're not. And that's the hard part because if you happen to be the unlucky one who has that rare event happen to you, you still have the bad thing happen to you in its full awfulness.
SIEGEL: Regardless of whether that was a 2 percent chance or an 80 percent chance.
ZIKMUND-FISHER: Exactly, right.
SIEGEL: All this week, we're going to explore question - how well do we understand and act on the probabilities we're presented with? Can numbers have a president make a life or death policy decision? Can they help us weigh medical options less drastic than one Brian faced? Brian Zikmund-Fisher now teaches about risk and probability at the University of Michigan school of Public health. The influence of his personal experience on his own academic work...
ZIKMUND-FISHER: Oh, I think the first thing it left me with was an understanding of how challenging it is for a doctor - who is by their very nature playing with risk over time - right? A doctor doesn't see one patient, they see hundreds of patients, thousands of patients over their career. And we want doctors to make choices that give all of their patients the best possible outcomes regardless of whether that particular choice turned out well in the last time they tried it or turned out poorly. We want doctors to take the long view to give us the best chances of success knowing that sometimes it's going to work well as sometimes it's not. I also took away from it the reality that I only have one handedness poker game. I only get one life and I can play the odds. I can try to give myself the best opportunities - but risk is a part of our everyday life. And rare things do happen. And we have to accept that.
SIEGEL: That's Brian Zikmund-Fisher of the University of Michigan. Tomorrow, what does it mean that there's a 20 percent chance of rain?

text: Effect of Race on Colon Cancer Treatment and Outcomes in the Department of Defense Healthcare SystemHofmann, Luke J. D.O.; Lee, Sukhyung M.D.; Waddell, Brad M.D.; Davis, Kurt G. M.D.Diseases of the Colon & Rectum: January 2010 - Volume 53 - Issue 1 - p 9-15 doi: 10.1007/DCR.0b013e3181bdcdb2 Original Contribution Abstract Author Information PURPOSE: The increase in mortality noted in African Americans with colon cancer is attributed to advanced stage at presentation and disparities in treatment received. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of race on the treatments and survival of colon cancer patients in an equal-access healthcare system. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included African American and white patients with colon cancer treated at Department of Defense facilities. Disease stage, surgery performed, chemotherapy used, and overall survival were evaluated. RESULTS: Of the 6958 colon cancer patients identified, 1115 were African American. African Americans presented more frequently with stage IV disease, 23% vs 17% for whites (P < .001). There was no difference in surgical resection rates for African American or whites (85.8% vs 85.5%, respectively; χ2, P > .05). There was no difference in the use of systemic chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer (73.5% for African Americans vs 72.2% for whites; χ2, P > .05) or stage IV colon cancer (56.3% for African Americans vs 54.4% for whites; χ2, P > .05). The overall 5-year survival rate was similar for African American and white patients (56.1% vs 58.5%, respectively; log-rank, P > .05). After adjusting for gender, age, tumor grade, and stage, African American race was not a risk factor for survival in Cox proportional hazard analysis (hazard ratio, 0.981; 95% confidence interval, 0.888–1.084). CONCLUSIONS: In an equal-access healthcare system, African American race is not associated with an increase in mortality. African American patients undergo surgery and chemotherapy is administered at rates equal to whites for all stages of colon cancer.

The Loire: Bringing Nostalgic Dreams of France to Life
The way the baguette rips apart, its weightless white inside and the shattered crust that hurts the roof of my mouth. The purple jam, the wavy lettuce, the red chequered cloth that lines the breadbasket (heck, even the fact there is a bread basket.) The red diamond above the yellow poste, blazing the word "tabac."
These are the symbols of France, to me, of being there, living there, breathing there. They're lifted straight from school textbooks as much as true memories of my own, from the era of gym skirts and pen friends, whose curling handwriting seemed so exotic and so foreign, and which still decorates chalkboard menus in France today.
They're my daydream of France and it is on finding these things, of tasting them, seeing them, feeling them again that I know I'm back on French soil.
For this Brit at least, France combines the joy of travel – the discovery of something new – with the thrill of returning home, to bask in beloved routines and to bathe in the scene of the familiar.
So in that light, this trip to the Loire feels more family reunion than voyage to a faraway land.
No wonder it seems so familiar, even though it's my first time here. The half-timbered streets of Le Mans featured in Cyrano de Bergerac, The Man in The Iron Mask and even The Three Musketeers. And, as it turns out, for centuries Anjou belonged to England – or was it the other way around?
The fertile land of the Loire produced the Plantagenet dynasty – a regal line responsible for as many as 14 English kings. Richard the Lionheart was actually Richard de Coeur de Lion and his wife lies buried at the cloistered beauty of the Abbaye de l'Epau (which, incidentally, in the summer of 2015 hosts an abstract photography exhibition with a Victorian themed circus.)
The squat, slate-tinted castle at Angers has an astounding medieval tapestry. In translucent threads woven onto midnight blue, it depicts the end of the world as told in Revelations and stretches across cavernous castle walls.
It also depicts the devils as English. So much for the family reunion. There's even a petition for the Queen to "return" theb Crown Jewels to compensate for executing Edward Plantagenet, the Duke ofb Warwick and last "pretender to the throne."
But away from the blood, murder and betrayal of historical family life, the Loire has a gentler, slower side: botany and the love of flowers.
The Chateaux d'Angers whets the appetite with its geometric lawns. The Donjon de Ballon expands on the idea by having them encircle a refurbished medieval residence. And the dedicated cycle tracks along the thick green rivers further emphasize this French region's fertility.
But it's the Terra Botanica that really puts the pollen among the stamen, so to speak.
"It's difficult to explain the concept in a single sentence," says Boris, a young man dressed in an apron and a straw hat who greets me at the entrance to this educational plant amusement park.
He's not wrong, as we hop on an automated wooden boat that glides beneath magnolia while a Disneyworld-esque voice explains the story of tulips and the resulting financial crash.
Within the hour, I've raced to the centre of the earth on a 4 dimensional Hollywood mine cart, survived a shipwreck en route to South America and waded through the steamy swamps of the dinosaur hinterland before the meteor struck and obliterated most of life as we knew it.
All surrounded by immaculate flora and fungi.
Somewhere between the ice wall tundra and the arid heat of the cactus room, I wonder about the phrase "Green Disneyworld without the mouse."
It's not ideal, but it will have to do for now.
Another place that struggles with descriptions is a renovated farmhouse called La ferme aux histoires. Here, children's author Nadia Gypteau along with her husband have fashioned a literary conservatoire where old children's books and toys live alongside a traditional farmhouse café.
A little further into the country, a riverside mill has a second life too. Eric Gérard upgraded his laminating business into a funky art deco shop where patrons can sip old-fashioned cider while watching water tumble over stone.
It's a fantastic place to sit and watch the world – and water - go by. With quotes from Churchill and de Gaulles on the shelves, my mind returns to those schoolbooks and my schoolgirl thoughts of France.
The Loire indulges my sense of nostalgia. But it's also shown me innovation that manages not to erase the past. The restaurants may serve sushi, and wasabi-flavoured snacks alongside organic calamari and soupe à l'oignon.
But there's one "grand family tradition" that France has yet to change.
The baguette. And the way it rips apart.

There is a category to indicate you are a "proud parent", "don't want kids", or "maybe someday". That's it.
How many parents aren't "proud" parents? Would it be ok to smear someone who's kid went on a rampage, look at the adults' websites and express "shock" that they are "proud" about what their kid did?
This myspace thing is so stupid to be considered a DNC talking point.
I have a myspace account that says I'm single. Everyone who knows me on that profile knows I'm married. I just never bothered to mess with the info. So, even if it were a real profile (which I heard it wasn't), that doesn't make any difference.

What Is A Non-Occupant Co-Borrower?
Days of stated income mortgage loans and no doc mortgage loans are long over. Income is the most important factor in qualifying for a residential mortgage loan. Mortgage lenders want to know that the mortgage loan borrower can afford to pay their new home loan. Only documented income can be used to qualify for a mortgage loan. Cash income does not count. Part time income, bonus income, and overtime income can be used only if the mortgage loan applicant had bonus income, part time income, and/or overtime income for at least two years and the likelihood is likely to continue for the next three years. 18 months of part time income, bonus income, and/or overtime income does not count. Needs to be a minimum of two years.
Adding Non-Occupant Co-Borrower
The Federal Housing Administration allows mortgage loan borrowers to add a non-occupant co-borrowers if they do not qualify with the income. Non-occupant co-borrowers is only allowed with FHA loans and Freddie Mac conventional loans. Fannie Mae does not allow non-occupant co-borrowers to be added to the mortgage loan. Freddie Mac will allow non-occupant co-borrowers only if the home loan borrower puts down 5% down payment of their own money and no gifted funds for the down payment. Non-occupant co-borrowers need to be family members or relatives and be associated with mortgage loan borrowers by blood, marriage, or law. For example, parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, children, step children can all be a non-occupant co-borrower for a mortgage loan applicant. Non-occupant co-borrowers will go on the mortgage loan but not on the title to the property. A non-occupant co-borrower will need to provide all income, liability, and asset information to the mortgage lender.
Who Can Qualify As Non-Occupant Co-Borrower
To be qualify as non-occupant co-borrowers for a mortgage loan borrower, the non-occupant co-borrowers needs to be a family member and/or relative to the mortgage loan borrower by blood, marriage, or law. In order to qualify as non-occupant co-borrowers, they need to have rental verification and/or history of mortgage. For example, if the non-occupant co-borrower is currently living with family and/or friends and is living rent free, that person will not qualify as a non-occupant co-borrower. Rental verification is only valid if the non-occupied co-borrower pays their landlord with a check every month and provides 12 months cancelled checks paid to the landlord. Bank wires from the non-occupant co-borrower to the landlord is allowed as long as the non-occupant co-borrower can provide 12 months bank statements of funds being withdrawn from their bank account to the landlord's bank accounts. A verification of rent, also known as a VOR, is required as well which is a statement signed by the landlord attesting that the tenant has been paying rent timely in the past 12 months with no late payments. If the non-occupant co-borrower is renting their home or apartment from a registered property management company, a letter from the property management manager is sufficient as proof of verification of rent in lieu of providing cancelled checks and/or bank statements.
Will being a non-occupant co-borrower affect debt to income ratios for non-occupant co-borrower?
Being a non-occupant co-borrower will not affect the non-occupant co-borrower with their debt to income ratios after 12 months. For example, if the non-occupant co-borrower is a renter and wants to qualify for a residential mortgage loan after one year, the non-occupant co-borrower needs to provide 12 months cancelled checks from the main borrower proving that he or she is not responsible for the mortgage payment. The risk that arises from being a non-occupant co-borrower is that if the mortgage loan borrower is late on his or her mortgage payment, it will affect their credit payment history and credit scores on their credit report.
Can You Add More Than One Non-Occupant Co-Borrower?
The Federal Housing Administration allows for more than one non-occupant co-borrowers to be added to the mortgage loan borrower's mortgage loan to qualify for income. You can have both parents added as non-occupant co-borrowers to qualify for income or you can have a brother and/or sister as well as their spouse as non occupant co-borrowers.
What If I Am Self Employed And Show Negative Income?
If you are self employed and show negative income on your tax returns, the negative income WILL NOT be offset by the postive income or the non-occupant co-borrower or non occupant co-borrowers. On cases such as these, the negative income main home buyer will not be used. The main borrower's income will be zero and the income that will be used will be only the non-occupant co-borrower.
Which Credit Scores Will Be Used?
If you have a non-occupant co-borrower, the lower of either the main borrower or the non-occupant co-borrower middle credit scores will be used. Every consumer will have three credit scores. Mortgage lenders use the middle credit score. For example, if borrower A has a Transunion credit score of 500, a Experian credit score of 600, and a Equifax credit score of 700, the 600 middle credit score is the credit score that the mortgage lender will go off with Borrower A. If Borrower A is using non-occupant Co-Borrower B and Co-Borrower B has a Transunion Credit Score of 600, a Experian Credit Score of 650, and a Equifax credit score of 700, the credit score that Co-Borrower B will have for qualifying purposes is 650. Since Borrower A has the lower of the two borrowers credit scores, 600, the 600 FICO credit score will be used for mortgage qualification purposes.

May just started! Summer are you there? To all the people who need some pre-inspiration…We've created a soft summer color palette of our beautiful designer fabrics. refreshing greens, clear light blues, shadow greys and lemon yellows :). A mix of bright designs and soft velvets, for the more classic, contemporary interior designs…
We saw these nice summer pic's coming by on Pinterest that fits very well with our soft summer colors; an unusual green texture of an active geothermal area in New Zealand and a lemon, honey thyme sorbet, hmm!
If you're living in the Netherlands, or have a similar climate as we do, you'll have your interior more adjusted to cold and dark days instead of the sunny ones…But in summer we all would like to have a more bright and light interior, without redecorating the whole house, aren't we? So how do you get the summer outside, inside?
1. Choose the room with the largest windows, highest ceiling or garden doors. that catches the most sunlight and make this the lounge room for summer days (like the picture: top and bottom left).
2. Make sure you'll have a large bouquet of fresh greens or flowers (like the picture: bottom right)
3. Take one large furniture object that's ready for an upholstery make-over. Choose soft fabrics that are nice and cozy at winter days too, but select more soft summer colors which connect with the outside, like; light blues, greens or yellows (get your inspiration from the moodboard below!)
4. Serve cool drinks in stylish cocktail glasses!
Fabrics in moodboard: 1. Light blue velvets Pierre Frey (4x in white, blue and green), 2. Floral velvet Fadini Borghi, 3. Mustard silk Rubelli, 4. Geometric viscose Pierre Frey, 5. Grey silk dots Dominique Kieffer, 6. Dark green velvet Dedar, 7. Woods silk Donghia, 8. Dark green velvet Lorca
Clear blue water, cucumbers and mint…can't wait for the hot sunny days, can you?! Hopefully this inspiration motivates you to make your home interior ready for summer, because everyone deserves a place that feels sunny ;).
In this picture we used the same fabrics as the upper moodboard: Light blue velvets Pierre Frey (4x in white, blue and green), Floral velvet Fadini Borghi, Mustard silk Rubelli, Geometric viscose Pierre Frey, Grey silk dots Dominique Kieffer, Dark green velvet Dedar, Woods silk Donghia, Dark green velvet Lorca

With the growing controversy over anti-Book of Mormon figures like Grant Palmer, Murphy and others, I feel I should weigh in.
The doctrine must be protected. To write and publish a book where one questions the veracity of the restoration of the priesthood or the translation of the Book of Mormon is the basis of apostasy.
Signature Books has added greatly to our understanding of church history. The journals of Wilford Woodruff are a truly impressive work. However, the company has in the last few years gone on a course of attacking the revealed nature of the Book of Mormon. They seem to want us to follow the course of the Community of Christ (formerly RLDS) and stop viewing the Book of Mormon as the actual word of God.
Faith not blood gives one right to the gospel. A new convert from Mexico who speaks no English but has a strong testimony that the Book of Mormon is the word of God is the true heir of the pioneers, not some professor whose ancestors have been members since the time of Joseph Smith and who wants to denounce the Book of Mormon as not an ancient text.
The Book of Mormon is true. Jesus Christ is the only way whereby salvation cometh.Everything else is secondary.

This is our truth, tell us yours
CN; contains discussion of child death and suffering.
My Twitter timeline is noisy this morning with those who think they have to protest about the sharing of pictures of a dead Syrian refugee, a child, alone and drowned on a beach, and those who think I need to see a picture of a dead Syrian refugee, a child, alone and drowned on a beach, to understand the crisis we face in Syria, and elsewhere in the world.
The tabloid press, all the press, have long used pictures to shock as a component of news coverage. My mother and father argued over whether I should have been allowed to see the 1970s equivalent of this picture, just as they argued over whether we children should be allowed to see the eharse that came to carry away a neighbour. You could not close the curtains to a picture on the front page of the Daily Mirror in quite the same way though. It was a photograph of a Vietnamese child, a girl, her skin on fire after US aircraft napalmed her village, running down the road, screaming. You could see, even in low res monochrome, the pain, the fear, the anguish, the horror, and the mind numbing atrocity that was civilized men remotely torturing civilians in pursuit of a war they could not win.
That picture was my personal Guernica, and remembering it now, my eyes are full of tears.
The idea that we can pass by on the other side, averting our eyes, as if we are not accountable for the things that we choose not to see, has never been tenable. To paraphrase John Donne, by considering the dangers faced by others, we understand better the dangers we face. The danger that we become so hardened to the suffering of others is that we, in turn, will find no-one to stand with us when we suffer. Donne, of course, beloved for his language, was a christian who believed that our sufferings could bring us closer to God. I know nothing of that, but I do know that if we turn our heads away from the suffering of others we come another step closer to evil, not the personified caricature evil of the devil and all his works, but the creeping atomized evil of a society where will no-one will offer us a hand when we fall, but will instead take all the steps necessary to pass by on the other side of the road.
The same logic that says we cannot afford to accommodate refugees from Syria says we cannot afford a National Health Service or life saving drugs for cancer sufferers. In other news, a house in London is up for sale for £250million pounds; its ownership is concealed behind a company in the British Virgin Islands so that the owners can avoid paying stamp duty or taxes on the profits they make from the house.
I have some sympathy with those who say that they do not need to see that picture, that Syrian child, alone on that beach, to understand the depth and reality of the suffering that is at the heart of the refugee crisis. My problem is this. When members of my family were dying, not so many years ago, I did not look away. I sat by the bedside, talking, holding hands, remembering the person and sharing their suffering, not flinching from the waxpaper thinness of their skin or the way the cough, the convulsing death rattle cough shook their spine like a bronchial tsunami. I was always conscious of the last lines of Evans, by R S Thomas
That Syrian child, stranded on the vast and lonely shores of our continent, as much deserves my unflinching gaze, my unconditional love, as the parent who left me behind to try to be, as they were, an activist for a better, more kindly world, where the tolling of the bell is a call to action, not a reason to close the curtains in case the children be scarred by the sight of the hearse.
While we have plenty, while we have empty offices and second homes and houses bigger than football pitches owned by tax avoiding offshore companies, we also have room for the dispossessed, the frightened, the scared, the scarred and the exiles. If we choose to look away, we will become exiles from ourselves, abandoning humanity for the cold, sterile comfort of our possessions.
Beautifully said.

Gerrit Meijer is professor of pathology with a special interest in gastrointestinal oncology and translational research. After finishing medical school at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam he completed his PhD on "Cancer Risk Assessment in Adenoma Bearing Patients". He had his training in pathology at the VU University Medical Center (VUmc) where he continued to work as a pathologist and from 2009 as chair of the Department of Pathology. Since March 2015 he is head of the Department of Pathology and Group leader at the Netherlands Cancer Institute/Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. Professor Meijer leads a translational research group that focuses on gastrointestinal cancer, especially biomarker development for early detection of colorectal cancer, as well as definition of molecular intermediate endpoints for screening. This work is a.o. funded by a Stand Up To Cancer & Dutch Cancer Society "Dream Team" grant for early detection of colorectal cancer. Next to that he is involved in the development of (inter-)national research infrastructures for biobanking and research IT, including the Dutch national personalized medicine & health research infrastructure Health-RI, BBMRI, EATRIS, tranSMART foundation as well as AACR GENIE. Gerrit Meijer has been and still is closely involved in the development, implementation and execution of the Dutch national colorectal cancer screening program, serving on several program committees.
Title: AACR GENIE for sharing real life clinical and genomics data in oncology
AACR Project Genomics, Evidence, Neoplasia, Information, Exchange (GENIE) is a multi-phase, multi-year, international data-sharing project that catalyzes precision oncology through the development of a regulatory-grade registry that aggregates and links clinical-grade cancer genomic data with clinical outcomes from tens of thousands of cancer patients treated at multiple international institutions.
AACR Project GENIE fulfills an unmet need in oncology by providing the statistical power necessary to improve clinical decision-making, particularly in the case of rare cancers and rare variants in common cancers. Additionally, the registry will power novel clinical and translational research. The data within GENIE will ultimately be shared with the global research community after defined periods of time. The project will also serve as a prototype for aggregating, harmonizing, and sharing
clinical-grade, next-generation sequencing data obtained during routine medical practice.
The registry already contains more than 18,500 of the existing CLIA-/ISO- certified genomic data obtained during the course of routine practice at multiple international institutions, and will continue to grow as more patients are treated at the participating centers. As a result, the registry is derived from a variety of cancer types, including rare cancers, and will be enriched in examples of late-stage disease, providing a "real world" dataset. Additionally, the registry only contains primary data and is not dependent on the curation of the published literature. Finally, unlike some health IT platforms and other large-scale projects, GENIE does not seek to improve the quality of routine cancer care or to assign
patients to clinical trials as primary objectives.
The eight founding members of the consortium and phase 1 participants are:
The Center for Personalized Cancer Treatment/NKI Utrecht/Amsterdam, Netherlands;
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston;
Institut Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France;
Johns Hopkins University's Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Baltimore;
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York;
Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto;
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center; and
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, Nashville, Tennessee.

An Australian study, published in the journal American Academy of Ophthalmology, has found that one in three persons living with advanced retinitis pigmentosa (RP) had symptoms consistent with CBS (O'Hare et al, 2015).
This is the first known study specifically exploring CBS in relation to the RP condition and is a welcome addition to the overall CBS picture. The found prevalence rate of 37.5% is appreciably higher than most previous CBS studies. Even accounting for the fact that this study focused on RP at its advanced stage, the findings remain telling. Often erroneously labelled as a rare condition, perhaps the true prevalence rate of CBS is just starting to come to light. Consider too, that just two years ago, a large UK study found a CBS prevalence rate of 39% (Cox and ffytche, 2014).
Both these studies also found that roughly a third of all those living with CBS experienced distress or anxiety due to their symptoms, which counters the widely held belief that the syndrome is benign. With such prominent figures now emerging, it begs the question: how much longer can clinical disciplines continue to turn a blind eye to CBS?

Question about Mitsubishi Eclipse
Posted by bekkibb on
Well I haven't tried any of that yet because I have been so busy and since I have another car it just hasn't been a priority...Here is a longer version of what happened...While driving home the dash lights came on and the odometer stopped working, or it was working on and off. After driving about 25 miles, the car just died on me and would not jump. I could start it up with the jumper cables, but as soon as I removed them the dash lights came back on and then the car just idled down and died. Finally pushed the car home...was just around the corner, and hooked up the jumpers for about 1 hour to charge up the batt. Then checked the voltage on the batt and was 11.3. The next morning car started fine except for a slight idle up and down (barely noticeable) and was ok. Only drove about 2 miles to work and then that night on the way home (2 miles) it dies on me again. I got it jumped off and 35 feet down the road it dies on me again, this time I could jump it off but of course would not stay running. So, I wound up pushing it to a safer place than the side of the road and leaving it for now. I haven't had any trouble with the starter and it seems a bit strange that this would happen without any previous problem of this sort anyway. I am thinking...could it be the alternator? The sad thing is I don't have a lot of time right now to be working on it and dont really trust many people working on it.
If it's any help it is a 95 Eclipse GSX AWD Turbo and it seems these cars were made with a million problems. Please postg back and let me know if you have any additional advice/solution.
Check the starting solenoid (most likely) and/or the starter (likely).
The starter system is initiated at the ignition switch when the key is turned to start. At this point, the ignition switch then provides +12VDC to the staring solenoid. The starting solenoid then performs two (2) functions. It provides the switching action (hundreds amps) from the battery heavy cable to the actual starter motor. The solenoid likewise pushes a small pinion gear along the shaft of the starter motor to engage the ring gear. The ring gear is of course on the edge of the flywheel which in turn is attached to the crankshaft.
Starter system problems could be corrected by:
1. check battery, battery cables and connections;
2. charge the battery if required;
3. clean brushes and guides of brush holders of the starter motor;
4. clean the commutator and commutator segments;
5. check/replace the armature or field coils if determined to be defective;
6. in some extreme cases it could be the drive pinion or the flywheel gear ring is defective.
7. often it is the big switch that the solenoid activates that looses contacts causing no +12V internally to the motor.
8. It could possibly be a defective the IGN switch itself. Relative to this, you might try and check the connectors/terminals and electrical joints.
In the picture below, the upper portion is the starter solenoid while the one below it is the actual starter.
Given the amount of work to overhaul a starter, you might consider just replacing it. On the otherhand, a solenoid is repairable except when burned.
This of course assuming that all other vital components of the car are working.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Appreciate the postback and substantial additional information.
Initially (and should not take you more a few minutes) check the battery terminals (loose or corroded tighten or clean with hot water). Another to check would be the fusible link.
Since there would only be two terminals on the battery + and you would have
checked/confirmed that the negative is body grounded, it would only be
the positive terminal. The positive terminal has two (2) connections; 1
would be very big and would go to the starter, another smaller would be
the systems B+12. Often this 2nd B+12 wire passes through a fusible
link which looks like a wire but is really a big fuse. It would
likewise pass through a connector. based on this, you may want to check
this fusible link and/or its connector. When in doubt, you can always
temporarily replace this with ordinary automotive electrical wire to
verify. Should this checkout OK, the next step would be to look for a
master/main relay or a master fuse/circuit breaker.

Second-Grader Pepper Sprayed Following Classroom Tirade [Video]
LAKEWOOD, Colorado —- Police in Colorado pepper sprayed a boy in the second grade following a tirade in which he damaged school property and threatened teachers and fellow students with a sharp piece of wood.
Aidan Elliot, 8, became enraged while at his Lakewood. Colorado elementary school on Feb.22 and began threatening, spiting and throwing chairs at students in his class. He also threw a television and threatened to kill his teachers.
When Lakewood police arrived at Glennon Heights Elementary, Elliot had broken off a piece of wood trim from the wall and held the sharp piece of wood like a knife while threatening teachers and students.
Teachers at the school barricaded themselves in a room away from the unruly student.
"I wanted to make something sharp if they came out because I was so mad at them," Aidan Elliot said in a police report. "I was going to try to whack them with it."
The report goes on to say Aidan, "was holding what looked like a sharpened one foot stick, and he screamed, 'Get away from me, you fuckers.'"
Officers ordered Elliot to "drop the stick," and when he refused authorities sprayed him with pepper spray twice until he dropped the piece of wood.
A police spokesman said, they felt they had no option but use the pepper spray on him.
Aidan told local 9 News, 'It burned my eyes, and I couldn't see.'
He was then handcuffed and later treated on the scene for "a red, irritated face."
Mandy Elliott, Aidan's mother believes the police could have handled the situation differently.
Police, who had encountered the bratty 8-year-old on two separate occasions in the past, were able to calm the boy down.
"I want them to get training like other local police departments in our area Mandy said Wednesday on NBC's Today show."I don't think its right for an eight-year-old to get pepper sprayed."
Tell us what you think, Did the Lakewood Police Department handle the situation correctly?

These Pens are great for stamping (Clear) and rubber stamping. I alsao used these for coloring in simple lines and drawing and they were perfect. I wish they come in the hole set instead of buying some on the pens a la carte.
Love using these. So versatile and so easy to use!
Great for stamping, cards, mixed media and art journaling.
First of all I would like to mention that the service of this store is excellent. The product came to Greece really fast and with a great price. These markers are very useful in creating canvas projects!!
This F&C gift set contains 15 Big Brush pens whereas the entire number of markers available (at least to my knowledge) is 18. Scrapbook.com sells individual sets of 3 BB Pens each for $14.99. The total cost for 18 is thus $89.94. The cost of 15 markers at $14.99, assuming you don't buy them as part of the gift set, is $74.95. So this offer saves you a few bucks but it's not a huge discount. That's why I gave the product 4 stars.
The pens are wonderful, however, and well worth the price whether you buy this "gift set" or buy the color sets individually. As I indicated, the cost of each individual set is $14.99. I am wondering, however, which of the 6 sets is missing?

This year we are seeking to produce and publish audiobooks based on works in a variety of genres. We will be accepting submissions for consideration of short stories (20k or less), novellas (20k - 40k), and full-length novels (40k up to 90k). We will be publishing 40 to 50 audiobooks this year. Multiple submissions are acceptable. Series books are acceptable. Read below for important information.
Have you published a novel--either through self publishing or through a traditional publisher--and still control the audio rights? Are you interested in seeing your novel get an audio edition? If so, we can help you out using Amazon's ACX and Audible platforms.
Producing an audiobook from your work isn't as difficult as you might think, particularly when utilizing the ACX platform. And you can do so with no out-of-pocket expense when you choose to accept a royalty split deal with a narrator, which is what we at AAP will be doing (***see below for an alternative option***). The process of audio narration is time consuming and this is, we believe, why many choose not to exercise their audio rights and produce audiobooks of their works. You can do this on your own and earn a higher royalty rate than you would if you allow us to do it for you. That's the simple truth.
If you'd rather let us handle the process for you, we would be glad to. Under the current royalty structure at Audible, they take a 60% cut of the sale price of each audiobook. That leaves 40% which is then split between the narrator and the audio rights holder (20% for each party). The publisher's take is then split with the author 50/50. So you, the author, end up earning a 10% royalty as opposed to a 20% royalty if you were to invest the time to work with a narrator on your own. You also have to take into consideration that Audible/ACX require a 7 year contract which in turn means that we will ask for an 8 year contract (since it can take anywhere from a few weeks to months to produce a quality audiobook). Amazon/Audible also set the retail price of the audiobook and we as the publisher have no control over that whatsoever. The audiobook will be available for purchase via Amazon, Audible, and iTunes.
If after the full disclosure here you are still interested in working with us to see your work get an audio edition, please email us at email@example.com with the Amazon link to your book so that we may evaluate whether it would be a good candidate for us or not. If we think it's something we can work with to create an outstanding audio edition, we will offer you a contract. You have the option of receiving a small advance ($25 or less, depending on length of work) or forgoing the advance and receiving royalties from day one of sales. We generally pay advances in the third week of the month; if you choose to forgo an advance you'll be offered a contract immediately.
***Alternative option for audiobook production with AAP***
Since we've had a number of inquiries regarding this option, we've decided to include it here for those who may be interested. If you would rather not work with a royalty split deal but instead pay a narrator a per-finished-hour rate, we can also do that. Doing this raises your royalty rate from 10% to 35% (since the narrator isn't working on the royalty split deal, their 20% comes to you). We at AAP will cut our royalty percentage from 10% to 5% so that you earn a bit more for going out of pocket.
The per-finished-hour (PFH) rate would be $250 - $300, depending upon the length of the work (6 hours or below = $250PFH; 7 to 10 hours = $275PFH; 11 to 15 hours = $300PFH; longer than 15 hours requires consultation). You can determine the length of an audiobook by dividing the total word count of your manuscript by 9,300 (this is the number of words per hour Amazon/ACX have determined a narrator should be able to read). For example, if your manuscript is 70k, you divide that by 9,300 and determine that your audiobook would be just about 7.5 hours long and would cost $2,062.50.
If you have questions about either option available for audiobook production through AAP, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here are a few samples of the audiobooks we've published. Links to the books on Amazon are included below each sound sample.

New Poll Finds Majority of Nevada Voters Support Legalizing Cannabis
New polling shows that a majority of voters in Nevada are in favor legalizing cannabis. The poll's release comes less than 50 days before voters will get their say on Question 2 to legalize recreational cannabis for everyone 21 and older.
According to the new KTNV-TV 13 Action News/Rasmussen Reports poll, 53% of voters in Nevada support legalizing cannabis. Just 39% oppose the move, with 8% undecided.
The results mark a modest but steady increase from a KTNV-TV 13 Action News/Rasmussen Reports poll released in July which found support for legalization to be at 50%, with opposition at 41%; the percentage of undecideds was roughly the same, though slightly higher, at 9%.

Juicy Fruit (Hybrid)
Juicy Fruit is a sweet smelling strain of Thai origin that is usually bright green in color with lots of purple and orange hairs embedded into the bud. Juicy Fruit smells most strongly of fruit punch and lemons, and when the bud is ground up it releases a very strong skunky smell. The taste of Juicy Fruit is surprisingly less fruity than one might expect, leaning more towards creamy flavors like pina colada and vanilla. The high produced by this strain has a lot to do with its popularity. The most immediate effect of Juicy Fruit is a floating feeling that is a little psychedelic. This is a good strain to share with friends because it makes one feel very uplifted, giggly, and chatty. Juicy Fruit has a clean come down with no lingering after effects and would be a good choice for patients suffering from depression, anxiety, mild pain relief and those in need of a creative boost.

Inside NFL's Backwards Marijuana Policy
At the conclusion of North Dallas Forty wide receiver Phil Elliott, played by Nick Nolte, gets blackballed by his team owner for "smoking a marijuana cigarette." After being presented with a photo that shows Elliott toking up, the team owner patronizes Elliott and says, "Illegal drugs are forbidden by the league rules Phil, you know that." To which Elliott replies: "Jesus, smoking grass, what are you kidding me? If you nailed all the ballplayers who smoked grass, you wouldn't even be able to field a punt return team. Besides that, you give me the hardest stuff in Chicago just to get out of the goddamn locker room. Hard drugs!"
