Patrick de Wilde is mainly known for his photographic work relating to Asian religions, vast expanses of wilderness, wildlife and ethnology. He studied briefly at the Beaux-Arts de Lille, then in Paris at the Ecole des Métiers d'Art before receiving a scholarship from the Ecole Supérieure d'Arts Graphiques, which he graduated from in 1973. He then joined the "Marie Claire Albums†group as artistic director, then in 1977 he created newspapers and magazines for the Hoche Courcelles Editions group. While he turned to international reporting in 1981 with the creation of his own studio, it was not until 1991, when he decided to dedicate himself entirely to photography by collaborating with media such as Grands Reportages, Terre Sauvage, BBC Wild Life, Geo, or Ushuaïa. His photographs have been published in over thirty books and have been the subject of numerous exhibitions in Paris (Maison de l'UNESCO, Chapelle du Louvre, Réfectoire des Cordeliers, Art Paris au Grand Palais) as well as internationally and notably in Italy or Qatar as part of the Doh'art festival in 2011.

Sable Cookies (French Buttery Shortbread)
Sablé cookies are very famous in Brittany on the West Coast of France. They are very similar to shortbread, except they are made with egg yolks. They also have a characteristic sandy outside edge and they are very rich in butter. Sablés have a mild sweetness that is a perfect complement for sweet mousses or parfaits.
These cookies take me back in time to my childhood. I remember coming back from school and inhaling them with a huge glass of milk.
Yields: 2 dozens2 egg yolks, at room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp fleur de sel, finely ground
1/4 cup sugar
6 Tbs superfine sugar
17 Tbs unsalted butter, (2 sticks + 1 Tbs)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 drops almond extract
Preheat the oven to 410°F.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/4 cup of sugar for about 4-5 minutes. You'll get a pale yellow foam and the texture of the egg yolk will be slightly denser. Add the vanilla and almond extracts.
In a bowl, combine the flour, finely ground fleur de sel and baking powder. Sift all the dry ingredients.
Cream the butter (2 sticks + 1 Tablespoon) with superfine sugar (whisk using a standmixer to get as much air as possible in the butter). Add the egg mixture and the dry ingredients. Mix well.
Place a silicon mat or a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray. Spread the sandy cookie dough onto the silicon mat. Place another silicon mat on top of the dough like a sandwich. Even out the dough using a rolling pin to about a 1" thickness. Plastic wrap the tray and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the first layer of the silicon mat. Get several cookie cutters and cut the cookie dough. Much to my chagrin, I found that using irregular shaped cookie cutters were more difficult to unmold. So either bake cookie-cutter-less or bake with a simple shape cookie cutter like circles or squares.
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes at 410°F.
Remove from the oven and let them cool down completely to room temperature before taking them off the cookie cutters. They will harden and get firm as they cool down.
Bon appétit!
Stay tuned and check back tomorrow and see what I pair this sablé cookie with.
Baking the sablé cookie dough in the cookie cutter isn't necessary but it gives a bubbly characteristic outside edge of the typical French sablés. If you bake them with the cookie cutters, do not butter the cookie cutter. Or you can simply form logs, place the dough in the refrigerator and cut as I would for the pandan pistachio cookies.
Sifting dry ingredients helps to get rid of nasty lumps of flour and aerate the mixture when liquid is added. It's very important for all your baking so you get a moist result.

text: With Nintendo DS sales slowing in Japan, could Nintendo have a successor waiting in the wings? Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter think so, telling investors in a note that Nintendo "has a new handheld device ready for launch in [Japan] before the end of the calendar year," according to a report from Edge Online. In fact, it's those cooling hardware sales on the DS that may force Nintendo to react, making an end-of-year announcement more likely, Pachter writes. The DS has been regularly outsold by the PSP for the past few months in Japan, with marquee software releases doing little to boost matching hardware sales.Sure, the company is still selling DS hardware at a massive rate in the U.S. and Europe, and it just announced a very, very profitable quarter, but the dates match up. The Nintendo DS Lite launched just fifteen months after the original, fugly DS, making the timing seem right for a hardware refresh. We'd heard just prior to E3 that Nintendo was planning on releasing a smaller, cheaper DS, one with a a built-in accelerometer. Obviously, that didn't happen, but that talk was based on an IGN rumor, citing "trusted insiders." Besides, Europe's shirtless models have become bored with the current DS. They need something desperately to reignite their passion for handheld video games. Won't someone at Nintendo think of the models?! Nintendo DS Successor Ready? [Edge]

BEIJING, May 7 (UPI) -- Chinese military experts expressed strong objections to a Pentagon report about Beijing conducting cyberattacks against the United States.
Separately, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying called the Pentagon report on the Chinese military, an annual document submitted to Congress, an unjust criticism of China's justified and normal military development.
The Pentagon report said China has stepped up its military modernization program and is building space and cyberspace capabilities.
David Helvey, deputy assistant secretary of defense for East Asia, told reporters this year's report showed China is increasing its military modernization program under the country's new leadership. He said the integration and overlapping nature of China's weapons systems into a regime can potentially impede or restrict free military operations in the Western Pacific.
"In addition, in 2012, numerous computer systems around the world, including those owned by the United States government, continued to be targeted for intrusions, some of which appear to be attributable directly to [Chinese] government and military organizations," he said.
Chinese military experts said the cyberattack charges are groundless and irresponsible, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
Wang Xinjun, researcher at the Chinese army's Academy of Military Sciences, said the Chinese government and armed forces have never sanctioned hacking activities, Xinhua reported.
He said both China and the United States are victims of cybercrimes and should work together to tackle the issue.
In her comment, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua said: "We firmly oppose (the Pentagon) report and have made representations to the United States.
"China's necessary and moderate military buildup, which meets the country's needs, is completely aimed at safeguarding the country's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity and part of the country's justified rights," Hua added.
In a separate article, Xinhua said the Pentagon report's reference to China's growing assertiveness of maritime territorial claims could "embolden countries engaging in maritime disputes with China, sowing instability in the Asia-Pacific region."

His name is Dr. Tohme Tohme, and although he has not taken the witness stand in the Michael Jackson wrongful death case, he was the center of attention Wednesday.
Tohme was one of Jackson's many managers, who seemed to come and go.
"With Michael Jackson and his advisers you needed a scorecard," testified Randy Phillips, chief executive of AEG Live, which was promoting and producing the singer's comeback concerts.
Phillips said he was introduced to Tohme in a meeting at the Century City offices of Colony Capital, the investment firm that held the mortgage on Jackson's Neverland Ranch. It was AEG owner Phillip Anschutz's friendship with a Colony Capital partner that led to the firm's promotion of the planned 50 "This Is It" concerts at the 02 Arena in London. Phillips said Tohme was an adviser to Colony Capital who had no background in the music business and represented no other clients when he began working with the singer.
PHOTOS: Michael Jackson | 1958-2009
Brian Panish, the attorney for Jackson's mother and three children in an ongoing wrongful death suit against AEG, asked Phillips what kind of doctor Tohme was, whether he was a physician or if he had a doctorate.
Phillips said that although he had met this doctor 25 times, he never asked him.
The jury was shown a June 17, 2009, email Phillips wrote to Tohme, eight days before Jackson died from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol. Phillips wrote him that he had an "intervention" with Jackson scheduled "to get him to focus and come to rehearsals…Getting him fully engaged is difficult and the most pressing matter as we are only 20 days from the first show."
Phillips said the intervention was not drug related.
FULL COVERAGE: AEG wrongful death trial
Panish asked the executive if Jackson had ever fired Tohme.
"It's not a yes or no answer," he said. "The answer is yes but he kept in contact with him." Panish later showed Phillips an agreement in which AEG agreed to pay Tohme $100,000 a month and asked if that was common practice, even though the manager is supposed to represent the performer, not the promoter.
"In Michael Jackson's case it was standard," Phillips said.
PARIS JACKSON: "Physically fine" after apparent suicide attempt
Panish persisted, and Phillips said AEG's payments to Jon Bon Jovi's manager were the only other time it had made a similar arrangement.
He also said two of Jackson's attorneys helped draft the agreement.
The Jacksons' attorney brought the courtroom to attention when he asked Phillips if he met with Tohme at the Polo Lounge recently. Phillips said they had lunch there about a month ago.
"And you were discussing his testimony in this case at the Polo Lounge with him?" Panish asked.
"I wasn't," Phillips said.
"You know there were witnesses sitting around you?" Panish said. "You know people took pictures of you?
Phillips said he didn't remember exactly what was discussed.
"I don't remember what I ate," he said.
"I didn't ask you what you ate," snapped Panish.
Phillips said the meeting had to do with the case Tohme filed against Jackson's estate with the state labor board for money he was never paid. Phillips was a witness.
Outside the courtroom, Panish said he found the meeting "very suspicious" and said that Tohme's AEG deal was one of the conflicts of interest "that are flying everywhere" in the case.
Marvin Putnam, AEG's attorney, who was also at the Polo Lounge meeting, said the money AEG was supposed to give to Tohme would have been an advance to Jackson but that no payments were made.
"It's not a conflict remotely," Putnam said. He also said Tohme's testimony was not discussed at the Polo Lounge, but there would be nothing wrong if they had.
The wrongful death case revolves around Dr. Conrad Murray. The Jacksons say that AEG negligently hired and supervised him while the entertainment giant says the singer hired Murray and that any payments it was supposed to make to him would have been advances to Jackson, just like those to Tohme.

Jack Scott, a veteran and popular educator who has headed the state's community college system during a period of brutal budget cuts and was often a voice decrying the impact on students, announced Tuesday that he will retire as chancellor overseeing the 112 campuses.
Scott, 78, became chancellor of the nation's largest community college system in January 2009 after a long career as a state legislator and college campus leader, giving him rare insights into both politics and academia. A Democrat, he served in the Legislature for 12 years until 2000, as an assemblyman and senator from the Pasadena area, and previously was president of Pasadena City College and Cypress College.
In an interview Tuesday, Scott said the last few years of budget battles in Sacramento had not been easy but he emphasized that he was not retiring because of discouragement with the funding of higher education in California.
"I figure 58 years of work is enough," he said. "I'd prefer a less demanding life."

The Obamacare fumble
It's the cardinal rule of marketing management: Under-promise and over-deliver. If the sign at "Pirates of the Caribbean" says the wait is 45 minutes, and your kids are floating along on the ride in half that time, Disneyland really is the Happiest Place on Earth.
So it's little wonder that the glaring contrast between the White House's perpetually optimistic talk about its health care plan — "Try it! You'll like it!" — and the messy realities of its rollout has sent President Barack Obama's job approval ratings to all-time lows, and for the first time left the public with a negative view of his honesty in some surveys.
Story Continued Below
From the start, the plan was more complex and unpredictable than Obama liked to acknowledge, reliant as it was on the profit-driven market forces of the private insurance industry, individually regulated in all 50 states. And his strategy for selling it was always based on an unspoken assumption that the public could not tolerate such unpleasant truths.
(PHOTOS: Obamacare online glitches: 25 great quotes)
To be fair, the all-out partisan war to pass the bill, and then to defend it in the courts and Congress, was hardly the time for the president to warn, "This might not work right away, folks."
But it is nevertheless Obama's own months of upbeat predictions that have now left a chastened president grappling to restore his credibility, as he did on Thursday by announcing he would allow insurers to extend by a year the substandard plans they recently cancelled to comply with the new law's demands for fuller coverage.
And it remains to be seen whether that attempted fix (which is voluntary) will satisfy the millions of Americans at risk of losing their current coverage — or stave off demands from restive Democrats in Congress for a legislative remedy. "I am confident that by — by the time we look back on this next year, that people are going to say this is working well, and it's helping a lot of people," Obama predicted.
(IN 90 SECONDS: Obamacare puts Democrats' credibility on the line)
Maybe so. But if not, Obama's latest claim will be just one more unmet expectation to be thrown back in the face of a leader who likes to tell his own worried aides when things are going badly, "I got this." Except when he doesn't.
"At every single point, they've over-promised and under-delivered" on Obamacare, said Matthew Dowd, George W. Bush's former pollster who grew so disillusioned with his old boss's performance that he voted for Obama. "And at every single point, they've chosen a short-term communications strategy, as opposed to a long-term governing strategy. And the short-term communication strategy was to put out the fire by saying 'It's all going to be OK."'
Daniel Pink, a former speechwriter for Vice President Al Gore and best-selling author of "To Sell is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others" and other books on business, said the administration had fallen prey to the age-old reluctance to deliver bad news to those at the top — and then failed to pass that news on to constituents.
(WATCH: 6 major players in HealthCare.gov debacle)
"They've endured far more long-term pain from their happy talk than they would have short-term pain from telling the truth," he said. "I fear this is going to go into the annals with George H. W. Bush's 'no new taxes,' and Bill Clinton's 'I didn't have sex with that woman.' It strikes me as something very sticky."
It's hard to know right now where the Obamacare mess falls on the presidential calamity scale. It's by no means clear that the health care debacle will be for Obama what Hurricane Katrina was for the second Bush: a management disaster from which his presidency never recovers. But it's an uncomfortable coincidence that Obama's latest approval rating — hovering around 38 percent — is just where Bush's was at this point in his second term, two months after Katrina devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
Ronald Reagan's nadir — the Iran-Contra scandal — came later in his second term. His presidency later stabilized after he apologized for denying that he had traded arms for hostages by saying, "My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true. But the facts and the evidence tell me it is not."
(WATCH: Nancy Pelosi admits Obamacare website "has to be improved")
Obama tried a similar — if wordier — mea culpa Thursday with respect to his repeated pledge that people who liked their current insurance plan could keep it, explaining: "There is no doubt that the way I put that forward unequivocally ended up not being accurate. It was not because of my intention not to deliver on that commitment and that promise."
And he repeated that the promise remained true for "the vast majority of Americans" who get insurance through their employers, and not in the individual insurance market, where plans change often, pricing is volatile and coverage is spotty. As recently as last week, the White House website itself was still pledging, "Nothing in the proposal forces anyone to change the insurance they have. Period."

Jaguar S-Type Climate Control Problems
For anyone else that may have a damaged/defective Air Conditioning Climate Control Module in a Jaguar S-Type, here are some guidelines and solution(s)...
1. Driver and/or passenger vent(s) blow(s) hot/warm air, even when the controls are set to max cold (or any other level). This may occur on just the driver side, just the passenger side, or both sides, and even intermittently.
1. Only the Heater Valve (or "Coolant Control Valve") is defective. After some time, corrosion and vibrations cause this component to fail, either mechanically and/or electrically (i.e. internal short).
2. Heater Valve + Climate Control Module are defective. When the Heater Valve dies or begins to die, it eventually takes the Climate Control Module with it to the grave.
3. Only the Climate Control Module is defective. Assuming the Heater Valve is good, this particular scenario is unlikely to happen.
Why the Heater Valve gets damaged:
Corrosion - not enough anti-corrosion additive in the coolant, or harsh weather conditions, or just old age? Vibration?
Why the Climate Control Module gets damaged:
There is no protection circuitry in the Climate Control Module to protect itself against damage due to failure at the Heater Valve.
How to diagnose:
1. Check the fuse for the Heater Valve. It may be labeled as "Coolant Control Valve" in the owner's manual.
2. Check the connection to the Heater Valve. Is the connector loose/corroded? Is the Heater Valve corroded? The S-Type is an always-hot-fuse system, which means that one wire to the Heater Valve is always "hot" (+12V), and it needs the other wire(s) to ground to chassis in order for the internal solenoid valve to work. Replace the Heater Valve first. If you have replaced the Heater Valve, but still experience the above symptoms, the Climate Control Module has probably been damaged already.
3. It is probably not the The Evaporator Discharge Temperature sensor(s) under the dash, but check them anyway.
4. If the dealer has replaced everything else besides the Climate Control Module for you already, then the last piece of the puzzle is probably the Climate Control Module. Gotta replace or fix it!
What I can do for you:
You send me your Climate Control Module (complete unit, inside the casing with front faceplate). If you cannot remove it from the vehicle yourself, I recommend that you have a qualified technician do the removal and later re-install for you. I will diagnose it at no additional cost to you (besides what you paid for shipping to me). Once I have confirmed the presence of repairable damage, I will give you a reasonable quote for the repair including return shipping back to you. Not only that, I will modify your module with protection circuitry that will prevent it from getting fried again in the same way (the next time your Heater Valve dies). If you happen to have the old Heater Valve ("Coolant Control Valve"), I can bench test that as well, but it is usually not repairable when the internal and sealed coils are damaged.

I believe you may be talking about the heater valve which opens and allows water to flow into the heater core, its probably vac operated. You will have to ask a mechanic.
Should be cheap and easy. They gum up on all cars after awhile.
I'm saying this because your air still works, its just your heat. The valve is only partially open.0
Thanks for your imput - Please note the air con DOES NOT work.
Regards Peter0
Thanks Jeffsl, this is exact problem on mine 05 s-type, I took it to dealership and found out the heater valves were bad, and leaking some coolant from one of the valve, got that changed and replaced with new heater valves, I thought that would fixed the problem, but the dealer tech came out and told me the Climate control module also bad, and they wanted $1195+tax for it, this is after I spend $285 on the heater vales and $220 on labor. I will contact you shorty once I take out the Climate control unit.0
Same problem with heater, started blowing hot air out passenger side vent
with semi cool air on drivers side. Dealer wants two hundred to look at the
car. Can anybody assist with instructions to get access to the motor control
valve?. And control panel?0
Had the same problem - It took Jaguar a little time to work it out - Over a day !! - Two split wires presumably to the censors / valves !! - Control valves were ok - They charged £185 incl VAT - which wasn't bad by their standards - Personally, they should have diagnosed problem quicker.0
Hi and thanks for your help!
Do you know if they removed any of the dash components.0
It may be a good idea to let the dealer (or a good jaguar mechanic) diagnose it. If you can use a multimeter i can give you some instruction with how/where to diagnose. e-mail me at: [email protected]0
wiring problems are some of the hardest problems to diagnose. happy to hear that you got it fixed.0
For those having same problem as I, give Jeff a try. I sent my climate control to him last week and got it back 2 days later, put it back in the car that same night, turn on the air cond, cold air on all the vents, problem solved after 2 months of holding back from $1200 dealer cost.
Jeff, you did great, really appreciated your help.

dehya Posts: 1Hello, i have a 2001 Jaguar S type that needs the front 2 left and right side lower ball joints replaced. I am thinking of ordering the parts from MacAuto parts (part number XR8041215J). They only sell the ball joints and not the vertical link. The dealerships only sell the ball joints with the vertical link, however I was able to find the ball joints without the vertical link. I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and if it possible to replace just the ball joints without the vertical link? How can I do this and do you know if the parts from Mac auto parts are any good?0
How did you determine that the ball joints need replacing?
You are allowed .8mm play in them. You raise the vehicle and put a jackstand under the lower suspension arm. Then wiggle the wheel at 12 and 6 o'clock and have someone note the play in the ball joint.
Also be aware that there was a recall on this car for loose ball joints because the joint nuts were not tightened to proper spec. You might get away with tightening them if they haven't been hammered too badly.0
modart Posts: 1I have a 2004 S type 4.2L with dual climate control. The Passenger side is stuck on heat. A local shop replaced the heater control valve which looks like a dual acting valve. I am guessing that it controls hot water to split cores one for the driver and one for the passenger. The valve does not look new so maybe they did not replace it like they said.
There are the following 3 Lines of data on the side of the valve:
1 147 412 175
My question is does the heater control valve regulate the heating temperature by turning on or off the flow of hot water to the coils. If so, then I should be able to apply 12V to the solenoid on top the coil and shut off the flow to the side of the core that is stuck on heat, or is the heat regulated by diverting air flow of the hot air to the outside of the car by some sort of vent damper. I have also read that there are some evaporator temperature sensors that fail and wont send the 12V to the valve. They are supposed to be easy to change and only cost about $20.00. I tried to remove one of them and could not get it out. Is there a special tool that is needed?
Thank You

Hi Dennis,
New valves should look "brand-spankin' new" and shiny. Let's hope your replacement valve is actually good. (don't worry, we can figure that out...see below for test procedure)
Unlike some other vehicles, the S-Type doesn't use a mixing door for AC/heater temperature control. All AC air always travels through the heater core.
*IMPORTANT* Do not blindly apply 12V to the valve's terminals. The valve control is an active ground setup. On a dual valve, the middle terminal is always Hot +12to14V, while the outer 2 terminals are either floating or grounded.
The Climate Control Module sends a ground "signal" to the valve(s), which closes it and impedes the flow of hot water/coolant to the heater core under the dash. For intermediate temperature settings, the module constantly cycles the signal to control how cold the AC blows out the vents. "Lo" temperature setting keeps the valve closed. "Hi" setting keeps the valve open. The problem with this is that as the heater valve ages (i.e. corrodes), it starts to pass more and more current back to the module. Even if the heater valve still works in that state, the board and components in the module, which aren't designed to handle this situation, end up getting literally fried by the high current. So, this heater valve control circuit just stops working, and the valve defaults to full open.
The evaporator temperature sensors -can- be -a- cause of such problem, but in most cases I've seen, this isn't where the problem comes from. To remove, just pull..harder. They are tight.
Chances are, the old valve had already damaged your module. So replacing the valve, although a step in the right direction, didn't completely solve the problem.
If you can use a multimeter to take voltage, current, and resistance measurements, you can follow my test procedure below to help us determine if the valve and/or module are good or bad:
1. Run the engine.
2. Set the controls to max "Lo" for both driver and passenger sides.
3. Confirm that the air is still blowing hot (take note which side blows hot or if it's hot for both driver and passenger sides).
4. Disconnect the plug from the valve and take voltage measurements at all 3 contacts in the plug. The middle contact should read 14v or so.
5. Take resistance measurements at the 2 outer contacts in the plug (measure between each contact and a chassis ground). The 2 outer contacts should read close to 0 ohms.
6. Jumper the middle contact in the plug to the middle contact at the valve. Jumper one outer contact in the plug to the corresponding outer contact at the valve using the multimeter to measure current. Be careful that you don't short anything with the middle contact in the plug (it's always hot +12v-14v). Repeat the measurement at the other outer contact after disconnecting the first outer contact (don't disconnect the middle contacts yet). Each measurement should read 0.9 to 1.1amps. If the measurement in step 5 showed a much higher resistance than 0 ohms, then the current measurement will not give a proper result.
7. With the middle contacts still jumpered between the plug and valve, jumper an outer contact on the valve to a chassis ground, while using the multimeter to measure current. Check to see if any vents blow cooler air during this grounding process. Repeat the measurement at the other outer contact and check the vents again.
8. Reconnect the plug to the valve.
9. Shut off the engine.
10. Report the results back to Jeff. e-mail to: [email protected]
Once we confirm that the module is bad, then you can decide if you want to pay a 4-figure sum to the dealer for a new module (only to have it die again when the valve goes bad again), or have me:
1. Repair the damaged module.
2. Upgrade the valve control circuit to protect against damage caused by a dying valve in the future.
vdsea25 Posts: 1Background:
I have a 2005 Jaguar 4.2 S-type. In Aug 09, my AC starting blowing hot air out the driver's vents and cool air out the passenger's vents if I closed the vents on the driver's side. Took the car to an air conditioning specialist and they told me it was the heater control valve that needed to be replaced for a total of $900. I delayed repairs why I tried to find the part on the internet to do the replacement myself. Not too long afterwards I noticed coolant leaking. I eventually had the heater control valve and the auxillary water pump replaced. No change to the A/C. Took the car to the dealer to find out the Climate Control module was shot and replacement would be $1,800+.
Solution: Two weeks ago I trusted the post from Jeffsl and sent my module to him for repairs. In less than 2 days he had it repaired and ready for return to me. I reinstalled the module and I've got my cold air back. That was the BEST $275 (I paid $25 for insurance) repair ever!! :shades:
If you're having A/C issues, give Jeffsl a try @ [email protected] thanks Jeff!!!0
I have a 1999 S-Type 3-liter.
When it rains hard, the inside of the windows get damped very fast.
I have to put the blower to HIGH and after some minutes the damp disappears.
During winter, defrosting the window took many minutes. It really take a long time to get warm air blowing.
Sometimes the airconditioning blows a stinking air into the cabin.
The air is not getting cold when it should do and and not getting warm when expected.
However, sometimes, I hear a clicking noise, and it looks like the airco start working. At the same time this stinking air is back..
But the next moment it does not work at all.
There are no leaks.
So, what can be the problem. Is it the A/C module of a fuse?0
calipso64 Posts: 4I had the same issue on my 2007 S type R...was lucky enough that it was still under warranty. Apparently the issue is common enough that a bulletin was sent out to the dealers ( # JTB00066 TSB. ?) . It turns out that the mysterious sounds comes from defective defrost recirculation door actuator servo motor (at least in my case) ...took dealer a good 3-4 hours to swap. So far so good...no more gurgling.0
Hi ,
I own a s type jag 2001 model...its only got 44,000 kms on it and runs brilliantly...recently i went overseas and when i came back found that the heater only blows air but the air is not hot so it does not warm the car...can anyone sugest what may be wrong with it/

jamal25 Posts: 1Hey Jeff how r u? I am having trouble with my AC. I have a 2005 Jaguar S-type. I took it to the dealership they said I need a AC Control Module, which costs $1600. Please help me if you can.
First thing I'd check is your coolant level.0
sdem Posts: 1Late build 2002 4.2L. Winter here, start car, takes ages before heat finally starts blowing. At random time, strange noise, sounds a little like when you just start to release foot brake on wet discs, then flow stops totally and restarts a few minutes later, usually. Very strange. Also initially no fan activity at all, even if manual mode is engaged. Can turn off unit, and back on, no change. I bought second hand a year ago and don't recall this type of behaviour then.
Thanks in advance for any advice.0
Yes I had a 04 4.2:L, they replaced what I remember was a heater control valve, not the control panel. That rattle, if it sounds like a gurgle once in a whileand a rattle other times , Well They replaced the vents in the center control , I knew it wasn't that! Comes and goes.
with or without the fan on. I believe howerver its an air bubble in the cooling system I heard you could burb from below. BMW , same thing. Love the car but got rid of it since they couldn't find the squeal in the tranny, Yes that new FX tranny crapped at 70k . It was reprogrammed repeadily and fluid changed at least 4 times, never help.
I think I had all the quirks, and didn't expect them being an 04 and all0
My problem is solved.
Problem was electronical.
The relais responsible for the AC in the fusebox under the motorhood was coroded and the contact points were burned in.
This is replaced (18 euro).
Furthermore the space between the magnetic plates on the airco pump was too big and was bought closer to each other.
Hope this will be of any help for you.0
katmandu3 Posts: 1Jamal: We had the same problem with our 2004 s type. Dealer wanted $1600 for part. I bought it on Ebay for $85 and paid the dealer to install it. You might want to check it out.0
johnny_lee Posts: 3Hey Jamal, the dealership gave me the same quote on the module, plus even more for the service. Mine was blowing hot on the driver's side. I google'd for the problem and found this website: jaguarclimatecontrol.com
There is a lot of good information there. I followed their step-by-step module removal instructions and got mine out in 15 minutes with no cursing. I had actually bought another module on ebay and found out it had the same problem, only it was hot on the passenger side instead! Go figure. Anyhow, I just sent my module in to them in hopes of getting it repaired. Crossing my fingers...0
cc1965rip Posts: 2I was wondering how you like your 2001 Jag. I am about to purchase one & am leary. Never owned one before. What do you think?0
bloggins Posts: 1I have a 2003 Jaguar S-Type and the check engine light has been on for a bit. The first time I had a problem it was the coolant reservoir. I had that replaced after ordering the item from Ebay and having it put in. I have been hearing a noise that sounds like trash or a piece of plastic underneath the car but when I checked it was nothing there. All sounds seem to be coming from the left front side somewhere. I took my car to my repairman and thought that the check engine light was on due to needing spark plugs and an air filter. My car only has 62,000 miles on it and I really like it. My repairman told me that it is misfiring or that is what the computer is reading. He didn't have a Jaguar software and he wished he knew someone that did. He told me to drive it and see if the spark plugs were all it needed. He erased the code and the light went off. My car was due for inspection and it passed. I need to change my oil, but it isn't bad, but will do on next week. Well to my surprise 2 days later my check engine light came back on and the Restricted Performance light came back on, which goes on and off at times and when it does there is no accelerated speed. I do know that often times my coolant light comes on saying low coolant, but when my husband checks it isn't really low but needs some coolant put in. Would anyone happen to know what is wrong. Have you had this experience with your Jaguar. I don't have the specific code but will check by Autozone for the code and let you know. Please help.0

Switch is a minigame on Poptropica, and unlike many of the other games, it is single-player only. It works much like the popular puzzle game Bejeweled. This is an example of what the Switch game card looks like:
Starting the Game
To start a game of Switch, go to your Games inventory and choose the "Switch" card. It is the second card listed. At the bottom of its game card, you'll see a white button that says "Play This Game". Click on it and the instructions will come up. Click on the green "Play Now" button to begin the game! 😀
- Note: You can play Switch anywhere, regardless of whether you're in a multiplayer room or not. The only place you can't play Switch at is in between places, because you can't access the Games inventory there. 😉
How to Play
Swap the position of any two adjacent fruits by clicking on them with your mouse. If you can connect three or more fruits in a row, the fruit will vanish, and you'll score points! The more fruits you can clear with a single move, the more points you'll earn!
Video Guide
For more Poptropica videos, please check out our YouTube channel, Poptropica Help Videos (PHV).
Different fruits are lined up in a 9 x 7 grid, which means there are 63 fruits on the board. The game is 60 seconds (1 minute) long. There are 5 different kinds of fruits:
- Orange
- Watermelon
- Strawberry
- Lime
- Lemon
Point System
Points are awarded depending on how many fruits you clear in a single move. Fruits must have at least 3 of the same kind in a row or column to be awarded any points. An example of being awarded points, as shown below, is by switching the places of a strawberry and another different fruit. This created a column of four strawberries together, which awarded +40 points for each strawberry in the column, or 160 points. Likewise, it would be +30 for each fruit (90 points) if they were in a group of 3, +50 for each fruit (250 points) if they were in a group of 5, and so on. 😉
Player Tips
- By Neat Whale: Try to find ways to make double switches. Also try to make them long.
- By Calm Spinner: When playing Switch, don't spend so much time solving what will happen after you switch one. If you find one, switch it.
- By Zany Dragon: Keep an eye out for fruits close to each other. Those can probably be made into a row. Also, keep an eye on the time and your score. If time is running out and your score isn't high, you'll need to hurry. Of course, if you're doing single-player, this doesn't necessarily count. Just rack up as many points as possible.
If you have any questions, feedback, or comments to add, feel free to comment below. Any tips for the game of Switch would be greatly appreciated, too, and if we add your tip on this page, we will give you credit. 😀

Health Care and Reality
The rising cost of health care insurance is no longer an academic, or political, discussion. The crux of the issue is economic and the need for a resolution is immediate.Health insurance costs soared by double-digit increases again this year, taking a typical family policy at the Addison Independent with MVP from roughly $9,800 per year to more than $11,000. If the employer splits the cost 50-50 (and more and more employers simply aren't offering the coverage) the cost is still a staggering $5,500 per employee; and the employee struggles to meet that $5,500 annual expense. As someone once said, "a thousand here, a thousand there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.�Well, it is real money because we're not talking about the federal budget or even the federal budget deficit; no, we're talking about taking $11,000 out of the typical two-earner family income in Vermont of about $45,000 to $65,000. You don't have to be a math wizard to understand that's a heck of a chunk coming out of the ole paycheck; and for a business paying for its employees' insurance (and his or her family), it's also one big bite out of the bottom line.That's to say that time is running out on political tactics that delay action, ask for more studies, or pursue half-baked measures. Significant reform is needed. The candidates who propose and support a substantial, well-considered plan that changes the status-quo in a significant way will be looked on more and more favorably for no other reason than the intuitive understanding by the public that the status quo doesn't work any more.

The Women Militants of Asgarda
IN THE UKRAINE, A COUNTRY WHERE FEMALES ARE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL TRAFFICKING AND GENDER OPPRESSION, a new tribe of empowered women is emerging. Calling themselves the "Asgarda," the women seek complete autonomy from men. Residing in the Carpathian Mountains, the tribe is comprised of 150 women of varying ages, primarily students, led by 30 year-old Katerina Tarnouska. Reviving the tribal traditions of the Scythian Amazons of ancient Greek mythology, the Asgarda train in martial arts, taught by former Soviet karate master, Volodymyr Stepanovytch, and learn life skills and sciences in order to become ideal women.

Last week, Troy Davis was executed by the state of Georgia. This tragic event, despite the longevity of the events leading up to its conclusion and the focus it has drawn from the media and pop culture, is not by definition an unusual one.
Despite the fact that most Americans like to think of our justice system as being very thorough, especially when it comes to something as final as the death penalty, the fact is that there are too many who have slipped through the cracks. Nationwide, 138 people have been exonerated after being sentenced to death, including six in Pennsylvania, and some have been exonerated after their executions.
During the prosecution process there are too many outside elements that can interfere with the jury's understanding of the case, leading to wrongful conviction. The largest of these interferences is eyewitness misidentification, which accounts for 75% of the wrongful convictions overturned through DNA testing, and played a major part in Troy Davis' prosecution. Social science research has proven that the human brain does not have the ability to record events like a camera and is often quite malleable. Thus eyewitness testimony is often extremely inaccurate.
Playing a smaller, though no-less important, part in wrongful conviction is that of Forensic Science misconduct, which, though less talked-about, is slightly more nefarious. Though DNA evaluation has been examined again and again to prove its truthfulness, many other techniques used in the crime lab, such as hair microscopy, bite mark comparisons, fire arm tool mark analysis and shoe print analysis, have received no such examination and are therefore subject to occasional tampering. Other tampering, such as contamination of a crime scene and the planting of evidence can play a part.
Another factor, which may come as a surprise, but plays a no less substantial role, is that of false confessions. People who are being interrogated may in fact have many reasons to confess to a crime that they did not commit, which for mentally-incapable adults may include extreme interrogation lengths and being placed under other forms of duress by law enforcement. However, children and those who are mentally ill are often more likely to falsely confess due to a misunderstanding of the situation or an attempt to please authority figures.
Aside from the transgressions that can occur during the prosecution process, there are several large issues outside the courtroom that must be addressed. The common thought is that it is less expensive to put a prisoner to death than it is to keep them in prison. Contrary to this thought, recent studies seem to show that the death penalty is much more expensive than even life without parole. The lengthy conviction process, the cost of keeping prisoners on death row, as well as that of taxpayer-funded public defenders, all add up to a hefty bill. In fact, the majority of prisoners on death row are among the population too destitute to afford a private attorney, which in addition to the cost to the taxpayer for a public defender, often adds up to a poor defense.
Finally, the last issue at hand is the toughest; that of race. In the state I live, Pennsylvania, nearly 70% of those sentenced to die are members of a racial or ethnic minority. Sadly, this is the case across the country. This is not a reflection of which races are more likely to commit violent crime. It is unfortunately a reflection of which races our justice system are more willing to prosecute and which races our juries are willing to sentence to die.
In a society oriented toward retribution, advocating for the abolishment of the death penalty can be extremely difficult. When presented with these facts, however, more way be willing to reevaluate their views and be ready to accept an end to this still-instinctive aspect of our justice system.

Below is the link to a parent training video we created at Gail Borden Public Library to introduce each skill. A Spanish version will be available soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtoFX62A1L4 Faith Brautigam email: fbrautigam at gailborden.info
Participants often ask for a list of books that are good for each skill. While certain books may lend themselves better to one skill than another, really it is how we USE the book that makes it support a certain skill. So, I developed this handout, which you are welcome to use or adapt as you see fit. Book characteristics File:Bkcharskill.doc --Sghoting 13:30, 13 December 2006 (CST)
I found this nice colorful crayon poster of the six early literacy skills was an eye-catching aid to put on the wall at the workshops (or in storytimes). It was developed by Multnomah County Public Library in Portland, Oregon. The website to order it is http://www.multcolib.org/birthtosix/ecr/products.html#posters This poster is nice and bright. Another one you can order, the one from ALA, is less bright but places the adult at the center, so the critical role the adult plays is emphasized. Here is the website to order it: http://www.alastore.ala.org/SiteSolution.taf?_sn=catalog&_pn=product_detail&_op=2168 or you can download this diagram: http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/ECRR/workshopsab/trainingmaterials/postersmore/eldiagram.pdf --Sghoting 08:40, 13 November 2006 (CST)
The City of Provo Public Library has put together a one hour consolidation of the ECRR workshops that may be helpful for others who are asked to do a presentation covering all the ages in a short period of time. Can be downloaded at this webpage: http://www.provocitylibrary.com/kids/forms/el_1_hour.doc

Cray doubles manufacturing capacity
Cray Inc. has doubled down on Chippewa Falls, and a tangible sign of that is now on display just off Seymour Cray Sr. Boulevard.
That's where a Cray sign in front of a building at 1955 Olson Drive signifies the company's new supercomputer manufacturing facility, just a couple of miles away from its original one at 1050 Lowater Rd.
Recent upgrades at that primary manufacturing site, coupled with the new facility here, have essentially doubled Cray's manufacturing capacity to approximately 213,000 square feet.
The move assures that Cray's supercomputers will be made for years to come in the city where Seymour Cray launched the company back in 1972.
"For more than 40 years now, we have enjoyed a proud and storied history with Chippewa Falls, and the opening of our new manufacturing facility affirms our commitment to building our supercomputers in a town that is synonymous with Cray," said Peter Ungaro, president and CEO of Cray.
"I am pleased our new facility is now up and running, and producing Cray supercomputers that are proudly made in Chippewa Falls."

Alessandro Tadini denied James Busby his first Challenge Tour title and Kristoffer Broberg a place in the history books after winning the ECCO Tour Championship hosted by Thomas Björn & Mercedes-Benz in a dramatic play-off.
After Tadini and Busby had shot respective rounds of 69 and 70 to finish level on 12 under par – one shot clear of the hat-trick seeking Broberg and his fellow Swede Klas Eriksson – the duo battled it out in a tense play-off, with the Italian eventually prevailing courtesy of a par at the third extra hole.
The victory was Tadini's fourth on the Challenge Tour, and propelled him to ninth place in the Rankings with season's earnings of €50,870.
The 38 year old can now start preparing for next week's limited-field Rolex Trophy and next month's money-spinning Kazakhstan Open safe in the knowledge that he has virtually secured a return to The European Tour already.
Tadini said: "I'm very, very happy. I played fantastically well this week, especially on the greens. The greens here are very difficult, so my putting won me the tournament. I kept the same feeling from the final round last week in Norway, where I shot a 64 which gave me so confidence. My irons were also fantastic this week, probably the best I have hit for a long time.
"Hopefully I can keep this feeling for the next few events and the rest of the season. When I arrived in Finland three weeks ago, my swing was very loose and I had no confidence at all. But slowly I've got my swing back after lots and lots of practice, so I knew I had a good chance this week. It really takes the pressure off me now, and hopefully I can now look to climb even higher in the Rankings."
Tadini had set the pace for most of the day at Stensballegaard Golf in Horsens, Denmark, picking up birdies at the first, third, fifth and tenth holes to race to 13 under par.
But a bogey on the 15th hole, where he drove into the water, combined with Busby's third birdie of the day, at the 14th hole, handed the Englishman the initiative.
He held onto his advantage until the final hole, but his wayward approach shot and subsequent failure to get up and down from the rough for par led to a play-off, which Tadini took at the third time of asking.
Busby said: "Obviously I'm disappointed, because I felt like I played well enough to win this week. But when I look back, I'm sure I'll take a lot of confidence from how I played, because I know I'm good enough to win out here. I got a bit of bad luck in the play-off, because my tee shot ended up in a divot on the second hole and then I had a bare lie on the third hole. You need a bit of luck to win tournaments, and today wasn't my day – but I'm sure it'll come soon enough."
Broberg, the winner of the Finnish Challenge and the Norwegian Challenge in the past two weeks, continued his astonishing run of form with a closing round of 71 for an 11 under par aggregate total, which was good enough to take a share of third place alongside the overnight leader Eriksson, who signed for a level par round of 72.
Broberg moves to fourth place in the Rankings on €69,280, having played just four Challenge Tour events this season.

The Baby Currently Known As "Prince"
Here at Cake Wrecks, we'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the royal family the best way we know how:
...in a barely literate, wildly inappropriate manner.
Plus - of course - with some really bad puns:
This egg-celent choice is sure to crack 'em up - no yolk!
We'd also like to share this time-honored wisdom:
Hey. You're welcome.
Hang on, I just realized we haven't actually congratulated the new parents yet.
That's better.
(Go Yanks!)
Or, for something a little more colorful:
(We can only hope.)
Now prepare for a full-frontal assault of celebratory cakeyness:
It's the DEAD-EYED MONKEY STARE... OF JOY!
Rejoice, I say!
As of this writing there haven't been any photos of the new prince released, but I'm sure the little tyke looks absolutely delicious:
Tell you what: maybe we should just keep it simple.
Anyone know how to grunt in a British accent?
Well, that's all from us, royals. Wishing you all many happy returns, and of course, hugs n' kisses!
Thanks to Lindsey J., Anony M., Amanda K., Keri K., Sarah S., Carrie, Erin G., Carly A., Kelly L., & Marla G. for helping us keep it classy.
