LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Singer Mary J. Blige will serve as a guest judge on "American Idol" for its upcoming ninth season, a source with the U.S. TV series says.
An unidentified show source said Blige, 38, will help judge "Idol" auditions in Atlanta with regular series judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi, People.com reported Friday.
The source said singer Victoria Beckham was a guest judge for the Fox reality competition during auditions in Boston that ended Friday.
"The judges and production team have been having a lot of fun with Victoria," the source said. "She's had a great response so far, and has been really warm with the contestants."
The guest judges are taking the place of singer Paula Abdul, who left the series because of a contract dispute and has since been mentioned as a possible addition to ABC's "Dancing with the Series."

Check out which Seahawks players still have a rooting interest in the 2017 NCAA men's basketball tournament that's down to its final 16 teams. View
Seahawks defensive end Tylor Harris was a guest speaker at the 12th Annual Celebration of Youth Luncheon in downtown Bellevue. View
In 2005, Marquand Manuel stepped in and helped the Seahawks reach the Super Bowl.
Now, the former free safety is stepping in as the assistant special teams coach on Pete Carroll's staff. Manuel replaces Jeff Ulbrich, who left to become the special teams/linebackers coach at UCLA.
The club also announced four other moves Tuesday: Keith Carter has been added as an offensive quality control coach; Rocky Seto's title has been changed to defensive passing game coordinator; John Glenn has been hired as a coaching assistant/special teams; and Kenechi Udeze will be a coaching intern/defensive line.
Carter replaces Luke Butkus, who left last month to become offensive line coach at the University of Illinois, his alma mater. Seto had been a defensive quality control coach (2010) and assistant defensive backs/safeties coach (2011) in his first two seasons with the Seahawks.
Glenn was a quality control coach at the University of Washington the past two seasons, while Udeze was an assistant strength coach with the Huskies the past three seasons. Udeze was the 20th pick overall in the 2004 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings and played four seasons, but he was forced to retire in 2009 after being diagnosed in 2008 with leukemia. He started 47 games for the Vikings, recording 117 tackles and 11 sacks.
Manuel, 32, started 58 games and made 332 tackles in eight NFL seasons, playing for the Cincinnati Bengals (2002-03), Green Bay Packers (2006), Carolina Panthers (2007), Denver Broncos (2008) and Detroit Lions (2009), as well as the Seahawks (2004-05).
He entered the league as the Bengals' sixth-round draft choice in 2002 and was claimed off waivers by the Seahawks in 2004. When starting free safety Ken Hamlin was placed on injured reserve midway through the 2005 season, Manuel stepped in and tied for third on the team with 71 tackles in 11 starts as the Seahawks compiled a franchise-best 13-3 record.
Manuel also started all three postseason games – including the victory over the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Championship Game, when he intercepted a pass and returned it 32 yards to set up a touchdown – but was sidelined early in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL because of a hip injury.
He jumped to the Packers in free agency in 2006 and produced 81 tackles in 16 starts and then had a career-high 83 tackles while starting 14 games for the Broncos in 2008.
Manuel was a coaching intern at the University of Florida last season.
In his second stint with the Seahawks, Manuel will assist special teams coordinator Brian Schneider in handling the units that feature punter Jon Ryan, who holds the franchise records for average, net average and longest punt; returner Leon Washington, who was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2010; kicker Steven Hauschka, who scored a team-high 109 points in 2011; and coverage units that were led last season by linebacker Heath Farwell, who had a league-high 21 special teams tackles despite playing in only 11 games.
Manuel is the ninth of 18 children in a family where the gap between the oldest and youngest is 25 years. And what was life in that extended – and extensive – family like?
"It was fun, man," Manuel said at the time. "That's the only way to explain it."
Carter, 29, spent the past three seasons at the University of San Diego and was the running game coordinator/offensive line coach last year. With the Seahawks, he will help assistant head coach/offensive line coach Tom Cable and assistant offensive line coach Pat Ruel.
Before going to USD, Carter spent two seasons as the offensive line coach at University of Redlands and one season as the tight ends coach at Wagner College. He played four seasons at UCLA as a fullback and tight end.
Carter is the grandson of Gino Marchetti, a Hall of Fame and 10-time Pro Bowl defensive end for the Baltimore Colts from 1953-64. Read

Your fabric line is so pretty; right up my alley!
When my parents' house sold, it was a mixed blessing. Glad that they had the income from the sale, but also, other people would be living in the only home I had known, growing up. My mom is gone now, too, and I sure feel for people going through the losses and changes in life. Don't think I realized what it would be like until I experienced it. In other words, I'm thinking of you, and wishing you well.I LOVE Catherine's Courtyard--the colors are wonderful. I am also finishing up new grandbaby projects. Bumperpads and dust ruffle are done and now have curtains and pillows to make. It is so fun and I love being surrounded by PINK!
We're looking forward to having you in Tyler next week for the Quilter's Guild of East Texas program. Some of my friends have been working hard on your Gone to Texas quilt, so I think you're going to see some great show and tell. Just think of coming to Tyler as your little "get-away" to beautiful East Texas!

According to the document, people willing to serve on public bodies in future must be prepared to help ministers in the drawing-up and implementation of government policy.
Last month, Anthony Merifield, director of the Public Appointments Unit, which is run from the Cabinet Office and maintains a 5,000-strong central list of 'the great and the good' - candidates for posts on bodies ranging from health authorities to consumer councils to education boards - issued a circular detailing the selection criteria.
First on the list was the question: 'Would you like to assist ministers and departments in formulating and applying their policies, or could you recommend someone else? The Public Appointments Unit is seeking names of individuals who would be willing to be considered for selection for public appointment.'
Disclosure of the circular comes against a background of growing dissatisfaction with political patronage being brought to bear on of traditionally non-political jobs.
At the weekend, a new row erupted with the news that Beata Brookes, chairman of the Welsh Tory party, had been reappointed for a second term as chairman of the Welsh Consumer Council - despite opposition from the National Consumer Council.
Lady Wilcox, the NCC chairman, had suggested that while she had a high regard for Mrs Brookes's ability, there was a case for replacing her with a less obviously political candidate. Rhodri Morgan, Labour MP for Cardiff West, has tabled an Early Day Motion, challenging Mrs Brookes's appointment. In reply, the Department of Trade and Industry, which selected Mrs Brookes, insisted her political persuasion had not been a factor in her reselection.
Attached to the circular are details of the sort of jobs recently filled by the Public Appointments Unit. They include a similar part-time post to that held by Mrs Brookes with the National Consumer Council, paying pounds 4,600 a year; membership of the Police Complaints Authority, full- time, pounds 38,020; Remploy, part- time, expenses; Education Assets Board, part-time, pounds 24,000; Transport Users' Consultative Committee for the Midlands, part-time, expenses.
In his covering letter, Mr Merifield admits that while there are 5,000 names on his database, only '36 per cent of them are women and a small percentage from ethnic minority communities'.
The purpose of the circular, Mr Merifield writes, 'is to seek your help to ensure that the datatbase remains as widely representative as possible of those who might offer their services in public appointments.'
Each year, on average, the Prime Minister makes 200 appointments drawn from the list, which is also used by government departments making other appointments.
Stephen Byers, Labour MP for Wallsend, who disclosed the Cabinet Office circular, said public appointments should be made on a non-party basis. He asserted that first asking potential applicants if they were willing to assist ministers 'will put off anyone not susceptible to the Government's thinking'. The first thing they saw, he said, was the question, 'do you want to help ministers with their work?' 'It is deliberately worded to put off people critical of government policy.' He intends to ask John Major to withdraw it.
A Cabinet Office spokeswoman replied: 'That phrase has been used since 1992. Ministers have made it clear, applications are welcomed from all parties.' The political affiliation of 87 per cent of those on the database was not known.

Former Tottenham striker Jurgen Klinsmann has ruled out returning to White Hart Lane as a replacement for Harry Redknapp.
With Redknapp favourite to be named England manager ahead of the European Championship following Fabio Capello's departure, United States boss Klinsmann has been linked with taking his place.
But the 47-year-old quoted in The Sun as saying: "It's just a wonderful club. But I am extremely proud and privileged to be US national team coach."
He added: "Hopefully we will have, after qualification, a great World Cup in Brazil.
"Then, in soccer, just like in any other environment, you never know what will happen."

Jenna tells Emily to be careful with whom she spends her time with, Spencer is suspicious about Paige, and someone grabs Hanna from the back.
There's a new suspect in the Liars' search to find "A". In the next episode of "Pretty Little Liars", Emily feels like her relationship with Paige is going in the right direction, but at the same time Spencer learns about Paige's violent past.
Spencer knows about a blood feud between Alison and Paige right before Alison disappeared, and she can't stand by to let one of her best friends get close to a potential enemy. However, Emily is not ready to heed her friend's warnings when Spencer comes to her with a sordid tale about Paige's history with Alison.
Spencer may not be the only one who is suspicious about Paige since Jenna even warns Emily to be careful with whom she spends her time with. Meanwhile, Spencer and Hanna get in trouble when they're alone as the former finds snakes in her room, and someone grabs the latter from the back.
As for Aria, she feels she has to help Ezra move on from his past if their relationship is to move forward, but what she finds may be more than she expected.
"Single Fright Female" will air Tuesday, August 21 at 8 P.M. on ABC Family. A week later, the show will air its midseason finale, which has been said to unveil who's Maya's killer.
Photos from the upcoming twelfth episode of season 3 hint that there will be another crime in Rosewood as the girls are featured standing outside a police line in one of them. Another image shows Spencer hugging Hanna with bloody hands.

The battle over the future of Elian Gonzalez retreated from the streets and back into the courts yesterday, as government lawyers sought to reverse a ruling that could keep the six-year-old boy in the United States for another month.
In the Little Havana quarter of Miami, the salsa-dancing and honking cars that had greeted news of the ruling on Thursday had given way to a cautious vigil by no more than 20 or 30 people, many of them praying, outside what is now known as "Elian's house".
In the courts, two separate claims were in progress. The US government presented documents in the early morning in the hope of getting the previous day's emergency injunction withdrawn. On Thursday, as government action to remove Elian from his relatives' home by force seemed inevitable, a single judge had granted an emergency stay, instructing that Elian must remain in the US until the outcome of his relatives' appeal for an asylum hearing. A lower court ruled against them last month, but the case is now awaiting the decision of an appeals judge.
The emergency injunction did not expressly prohibit officials from removing Elian from the care of his relatives and handing him over to his father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez. But it did prevent Mr Gonzalez from taking Elian out of the country before the judge has ruled.
What is more, the US Attorney General, Janet Reno, reportedly gave the Miami relatives an unofficial undertaking that the child would not be forcibly removed over the weekend. As she made clear before the court-ordered deadline for his handover expired on Thursday, she was prepared to allow more time for the two sides of the family to agree a solution between themselves.
This view, however, was contradicted by a Washington Post report, citing an unidentified senior official in Washington as saying that Elian was expected to be in his father's custody "in the next day or so" and strongly implied that the stand-off would not be allowed to persist through the weekend.
The head of the US immigration service, Doris Meissner, said that legal action would be taken against the relatives for disregarding Thursday's deadline. She said: 'There will be action taken. We are now in a situation where we need to enforce an order and a family is not in compliance with the law."
Spencer Eig, one of the relatives' large team of lawyers, immediately rejected this characterisation of his client, Elian's great-uncle, Lazaro Gonzalez. Mr Eig said: "He's not a law-breaker. He's a patriot."
As Elian's increasingly impatient father waited in Washington for the long-promised reunion, controversy continued to rage over the videotape of Elian saying that he did not want to return to Cuba. While Elian's words, "Papa, I don't want to go to Cuba", have become a rallying point among the Cuban émigré campaigners in Miami, their impact elsewhere has been quite different.
A succession of child experts, psychologists and others, denounced the recording as evidence that the child was being manipulated. The consensus among them is that what Elian most needs is a speedy reunion with his father and evidence that "adults in his world can work together in his best interests".

The Llano Desktop Preview: AMD A8-3850 CPU & GPU Performance
by Anand Lal Shimpi on June 14, 2011 12:00 AM ESTGPU Performance: Between a Radeon HD 6450 & 5570
I grabbed some of our most recent GPU testbed data for the Radeon HD 6450 and the Radeon HD 5570, the latter of which is architecturally most similar to the Sumo GPU in the A8-3850. If you're wondering how much sharing memory bandwidth between the GPU and four CPU cores impacts performance, it's pretty significant. The HD 6450 only has 160 cores compared to 400 on the 6550D, while the 5570 has 400 cores running at 750MHz.
Note that these scores are taken with DDR3-1333, however if we push the memory bus all the way to its limit on desktop (DDR3-1866) you end up with performance that's somewhere between a 6450 and a 5570. AMD's branding makes sense in this case (6550D).
Overall the Radeon HD 6550D in AMD's A8-3850 APU performs a lot like a discrete Radeon HD 6450 card. For a GPU that ships integrated with all high-end A8 APUs, I really can't complain. The real question is how does it stack up when compared directly to Sandy Bridge, which brings us to our next page...

It's good enough for the era of PS3 and XBOX360 console ports but AMD is way behind Intel and that gap is growing day by day. Reply -

Llano isn't meant to compete with the high-end Sandy Bridge, it's a low-end/mid-range chip, wait for Zambezi to see AMD's answer to the Core i7. Reply -

what charrts have you been looking at? did you check any gaming performance or multithreaded apps?? Reply -
milli - Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - link
Yes bc we all run 7Zip 24/7 ... right?
I'd rather have an i3 2100 + HD6450 if the leaked price of $170 is anything to go by. The i3 combo will be much more responsive. Reply -
duploxxx - Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - link
first of all there are no leaked prices since they refer to SKU that never exist.
Secondly the A8-3850 has more then CPU power enough, if you want a more responsive system invest in better HD RPM or SSD, general apps perf difference with just a few MHZ and Intel arch is whishfull thinking.
third: Intel boards have always been more expensive, the FM1 boards have better specs thx to USB3 and you have additional cost of the GPU and powerconsumption. You from a fanboy perspective might think that way (i would never select a 6450 low budget in the first place for a GPU board but anyhow) but OEM think different and focus on general consumers.

Well you're talking to a SI here with 14 business experience, so i'm no fanboy.
My info comes from here:
All the SKU's mentioned there do exist.
50% performance advantage on a single thread is nothing to scoff at. That's something you will feel no matter your IO. Since we're talking sub-$500 systems, i don't understand you bringing up Raptors or SSD's.
Actually Intel H61 MB's (with USB3) are very very cheap. Something like the MSI H61MU-E35 costs $80. If you think FM1 boards are going to be a lot cheaper, then you are wrong.
I hope you know that an A8-3850 has a TDP of 100W. Power consumption? i3+HD6450=92W. Reply -

170 for the chip is outrageous, given the underwhelming performance in CPU and GPU. If they can drop the price to ~200-220 with the mobo, I'd pick one up for HTPC. The chip seems much more "exciting" on the mobile side, even then it is more of a snooze. Reply -

"50% performance advantage on a single thread is nothing to scoff at. That's something you will feel no matter your IO."
Really? What are you doing with your computer which actually relies so heavily on its single-threaded performance? Even if you can name something, try to name something which is the sort of application this solution is aimed at. My nearly six years old Athlon 64 X2 4400+ is much slower runing single-threaded stuff than this new chip, but can run all the typical apps fine and only really struggles when I task it with HD video work, work which really could benefit from more than two cores (which the A8-3850 has). In that respect, more cores is what I need, and it provides that.
Having said that, Ivy Bridge is probably what I'll buy as I build a new box rarely, but when built, is something I expect to last (just like this one). AMDs high-end offering due later this year should be interesting and provide just the push needed to both companies, to make 2012 the ideal year to build a new box (with either an Intel or AMD CPU depending on which I consider best) which will see another few years through.

Are you serious? Single threaded performance defines the CPU experience for probably 95+% of the apps most people use. I'm talking poorly GPU accelerated flash, firefox, the entire Windows GUI , and most of Microsoft Office for that matter. Try updating a bunch of cells in a complicated excel spreadsheet with a quad core CPU and watch in pain as your spreadsheet (and now every other excel spreadsheet too) freezes up while your CPU chugs along at 25% to update your cells. While complex calculations are multithreaded, it's easy to push excel into single threaded mode with a bunch of dependencies.
Oh, and once you do have a SSD, watch your CPU usage as you install a bunch of Windows Updates... yep, that's single threaded too for the most part. Apart from high end multi-threaded applications that only a small percentage of users even use, the biggest benefit to a dual core CPU, for example, is making faster threads rather than increasing the number of cores.

Description: | Jackie Robinson made history as the first African-American to play baseball in the Major Leagues when he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946. Mr. Robinson was never the subject of an FBI investigation; however, his name came to the attention of the FBI as a result of his National Association for the Advancement of Colored People membership. In 1949, he testified before the House Committee on Un-American Activities during the hearings regarding Communist Infiltration of Minority Groups. The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata. |

Heat streak snapped by Bulls in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) — With two-tenths of a second left, LeBron James took the final inbounds pass in his own end, dropped the ball to let time expire, turned and walked toward the exit.
No buzzer beater.
No fourth-quarter rally.
No record for James and the Miami Heat, either.
The Heat's bid for NBA history ended Wednesday night when their 27-game winning streak was snapped by the Chicago Bulls 101-97, setting off a raucous celebration inside United Center.
Miami finished six shy of the 33-game record held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.
James said there was no shame in falling short.
"It's one of the best that this league has ever seen," James said, referring to the streak that began on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3. "We recognized that and rightfully so."
James tried to spur yet another comeback in the final minutes, getting mad after a rough foul. But the reigning MVP could never get the defending champions even or, more importantly, ahead.
Luol Deng scored 28 points, Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 17 rebounds, and the Bulls brought the Heat's stampede to a screeching halt.
Miami's superstar did all he could to keep the run going, scoring 32 points and even collecting a flagrant foul during a physical final few minutes.
"We haven't had a chance to really have a moment to know what we just did," James said. "We had a moment, just very fortunate, very humbling and blessed to be part of this team and be part of a streak like that."
The Heat hadn't lost since the Pacers beat them in Indianapolis on Feb. 1. But after grinding out some close wins lately, including a rally from 27 down in Cleveland, no one counted them out until the final buzzer.
For the better part of two months, they were the NBA's comeback kings. They erased seven double-digit deficits during the streak. They found themselves trailing in the fourth quarter 11 times, and won them all.
Not Wednesday.
"We understand, probably more so later on in our careers, the significance of that. And then that was it," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We took that moment to acknowledge it, to acknowledge each other, that experience, but it was never about the streak. We have a bigger goal, but also right now, it's about 'Are we getting better?'"
They walked off the floor stoically, not exchanging any handshakes or pleasantries with the Bulls. James slapped high-fives with a couple teammates and coaches, then glared at a fan who grabbed his head as he headed toward the tunnel leading to the visitors' locker room.
James was frustrated on the court at times, and showed more of the same in the locker room afterward with regard to how he's officiated.
He cited two instances from Wednesday alone — a play where Kirk Hinrich took him down with two hands in the first quarter, and Taj Gibson appearing to make contact around his neck with about 4 minutes remaining — where he thought the contact was excessive. Referees reviewed the Gibson hit, but did not award a flagrant foul. So, seconds later, James tried to barrel through Carlos Boozer on a screen, and got called for a Flagrant 1 himself.
"Those are not basketball plays and it's been happening all year," James said. "I've been able to keep my cool and try to tell Spo, 'Let's not worry about it too much,' but it is getting to me a little bit."
The Bulls, meanwhile, whooped and slapped hands with anyone they could reach after clinching a playoff berth.
"It's a five-second moment of reflection before we move on to the rest of the season," Dwyane Wade said. "In here, it didn't feel like we were on this amazing streak."
What a run it was, though.
It will go down as the second-longest winning streak in the history of American major pro sports. And some of those Lakers believed their time would pass as Miami's streak rolled along, with Jerry West among those saying that he believed the reigning champions had a real shot at pulling it off.
"It was more important to everybody else than it was to us," Chris Bosh said. "We never cared too much about talking about it. It wasn't a subject of conversation until (others mentioned it)."
The Heat now sit atop the overall NBA standings, gained 12 games over New York in the East entering Wednesday.

Being unhappy with the type of work of you are doing can impact so many areas of your life. Through Career Counseling, we can explore what aspects of your work are related to your depression. We can look at alternatives, whether that means staying with your current job, but seeking better ways to adapt, or seeking a new job within your career field by using more effective job search strategies, or looking into alternative career options that you might find more rewarding.

Ready for change? Let's Get StartedDecatur, Georgia 30030
I have helped clients who have been told they have "treatment resistant depression" and clients who have tried many approaches to reduce depression. The root cause of depression is often upsetting experiences like criticism, rejection, embarrassment, job loss, relationship endings, emotional neglect, childhood abuse, midlife career transitions. These events diminish how we view ourselves and our ability to get what we want in life. Client review: "I have struggled off and on with depression and have seen numerous counselors over the past 15 years. Working with Kalpana, I made significant progress in a relatively short period of time and years later my depression has not returned".
537 Linwood Ave., NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30306
Depression is a peculiar experience. While some people experience it as a sudden and unmistakable thing, more often it creeps in gradually, sucking the joy out of life. It damages our ability to maintain perspective, which is one reason it sometimes seems so overwhelming that it is hard to imagine life without it. Therapy can help identify the sources of depression and empower you to move beyond patterns that keep you stuck and unhappy. My clients often want to change their lives and rid themselves of depression without the use of antidepressant medication, something I support when possible if they are willing to commit to other ways of caring for themselves.
2784 N. Decatur Rd., Suite 145, Decatur, Georgia 30033
When we are depressed, we usually feel stuck, helpless, and hopeless. My approach is to help you realize or remember that you have options, and to help you determine what those options are. When we can see our options, we feel better because we feel more in charge of our lives. When we remember our power, we do not need to feel depressed any longer.

To continue the theme of iconic stamps Australia celebrated the anniversary of the first western Australian stamp in 1954. The history of modern Western Australia started with the Swan River Settlement which was established in 1829, every pre-federation issues featured the Black Swan with variously different surrounds. The last stamps were issued in 1902 some of which still featured the Black Swan which is still the symbol of Western Australia.
Another symbolic bird on a stamp of the Italian occupation of Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somaliland from 1936 until 1942. This features an Italian Eagle attacking the Lion of Judah. The eagle was one of the symbols of the Italian Fascist Government and the Lion of Judah was the symbol of Haile Selassie, king of Ethiopia. Fascists - never the most subtle of organisations - were also coincidently rather fond of black.
Just to bring a splash of colour a blackbird on a branch.

Shoes play an important part in synchronizing one's style. A classy suit, an expensive watch, a trendy belt will just not be enough if you are going to miss out on those shoes that furnish the complete look. Men seldom think too much unlike women when comes to footwear but at times they do get indulgent in buying a couple of pairs.
If ever there was a controversial question amongst the hordes of digital camera enthusiasts, it has to be "What is the best digital camera brand?" With so many brands presently in the market with so many different models and attractive offers on them from time to time, the race is as tight as it can get. We take you on a journey of some of the major camera brands out there.
Organised mobile retailing is set to become talk of the town with big corporate houses chalking out aggressive plans to tap the Rs 70,000 crore market. Players like HotSpot, Mobile Store, RPG Cellucom, Subhiksha Mobile, and many more now enjoy 12% market share which could swell to 40% in the next few years.
Cricket and Bollywood attract the maximum attention of the young population of our country. No surprise why so many cricketers are promoting top brands as their Brand Ambassadors. With the recent ramp walks done by Dhoni, Bhajji, Yuvraj and the like, cricket is much more than cricket these days. Read on

2000 blazer doesnt hold fuel pressure :confused:
I have a 2000 zr2 blazer with a 4.3 It has been really tricky to start ever since I got it. If you let it sit for awhile and try to start it it turns over a couple times before it fires. If I turn the key on and let the fuel pump run for 2 seconds, then start it , it seems to start better. Sometimes it will fire right up, sometimes it turns over 1 or 2 times first.
I know its not the fuel pump. The pump runs just fine. I put a fuel pressure gauge on it yesterday and it shows 55-60 when the fuel pump is running, but the second the fuel pump stops running the pressure drops to zero. So I am wondering why the pressure keeps dropping and if it suppose to or not. When running the blazer runs just fine and has 55 psi or so. Gas mileage has also been consistently getting worse. I used to get 19, now I get 16. Whats the deal? |

Most likely a leaking fuel pressure regulator. Remove the air intake tube and open the throttle plate all the way with engine off use a flash light to see if the floor of the intake is nice ands clean if it is or you smell alot of fuel replace the fuel pressure regulator. The other option is to use a fuel pressure guage ont the vehicle and turn the key on after pump stops runningpich off bothe the return and the feed fuel line if guage holds the pressure steady the problem is the pump. If it doesnt hold pressure it could be an injector or regulator most likely the regulator. My .02$

It is quite common for the regulators to go out on those, do the above check for fuel, if bad you have to pull the top half of the intake manifold. The regulator is inside with a spider looking injectors connected to it.

Vanessa Hudgens's former attorney can proceed with his lawsuit against the actress over $150,000 in fees she allegedly owes him, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Superior Court Judge Tricia Ann Bigelow in Los Angeles said a jury should decide the case, the Associated Press reports.
The lawyer, Brian Schall, filed a breach-of-contract suit against Hudgens in September. He claims Hudgens agreed in October 2005 to pay him 5 percent of her earnings in exchange for his legal work. She earned more than $5 million with his help, Schall alleges in the suit.
Hudgens disavowed the agreement on Oct. 9. Her current attorney argued California law provides that a contract with a minor can be voided before the person turns 18 or "within a reasonable time afterward."
Hudgens will turn 19 on Dec. 14. The jury will decide whether she acted within a reasonable period of time in voiding the contract.
Another hearing in the case is set for Jan. 15.

Cukes, Gourds and More!
Don't you just love these cute curly tendrils? It amazes me how plants can be so clever.. when I go up the garden some evenings, I will help 'weave' my cukes and gourds through the supports, but by the next morning, the tendrils have taken up the task and are tightly curled around anything they can grab!
I noticed that one of our gourds - perhaps the speckled apple gourd? - is starting to form small fruits.. I should know what it is, but the tags have disappeared! I'll have to sneak up and take some photos this morning and post them..
After 3 deer visits in 4 days - ARGH!! - I spent about 2 hours reinforcing the fencing last evening with my 8 year old.. he was super helpful and discovered a 'deer-sized' slit in the back of the mesh fence.. he then cut himself a large piece of garden twine and 'weaved' it between the two sides of the slit, sealing it..
I also remembered that last year I obtained one of those Scarecrow motion activated sprinklers from Contech.. so, we set it up (ok, my son set it up.. I'm not so technical!) and it worked like a charm! The kids tested in out by running around in front and along side of it and each time, it squirted a 20+ foot hard burst of water at them.. We nestled it beside the bean A-frame trellis, which is also only 10 feet from one of my (now eaten) pole bean teepees and this morning, the garden looks like the deer didn't manage to get back in! Success! I'll snap some photos of my little Scarecrow too.. he's already like a member of the family..
Anyway, time to grab my camera and head up for the garden..
Happy Gardening!

Morning Niki,
The endive looks delectable, especially for someone whose 'roots' are Italian - Moi!
Tendrils ... well, I'm mad for them! My first email address: 'tendrils' ...and my blog: Bay Area Tendrils .. I guess it's obvious. Clematis and climbing vines are faves.
Our veggies are grown at T's allotment in town, while my garden is ornamental. Will I see you on Blotanical? Found your blog there

Read what others are saying about NYRR's Running Start.
"This is totally what I've been looking for, something not out of a book, but visual for me as a coach and for my runners. It has all of the features I sometimes feel my program lacks from time during the season. Has everything from what to do to keep them running, healthy, and happy in being a part of the team."
..."A Running Start is the most thorough video resource I have ever seen for the introduction and implementation of training for young runners. From games to keep training enjoyable to the proper stretching techniques for young runners, A Running Start is a must-use resource for all those who work with our young athletes."
...A Running Start is a great resource because it promotes activity and healthier living while also helping parents understand how to work with their children in the activities that keep them strong. Studies have shown that a more active child is more likely to perform better in school as well.
Curtis Granderson, New York Yankees Outfielder and Founder of the Grand Kids Foundation
"A Running Start is an excellent and exciting resource for anyone interested in spreading the joy, fun, and benefits of running to youngsters of all ages. As someone who is very passionate about passing onto youngsters the very many advantages I have discovered through running, and ensuring that they discover the fun, love, and joy of the sport as well as the increased self confidence and health benefits...
"Ok, your site has got to be the most comprehensive and informative running site for a coach!! It gives me ideas when needed and basics that the students can understand. THANK YOU!!!"
Mike Prutz, Cross Country Coach
- Lowell HS, San Francisco, CA
"New York Road Runners has done a wonderful job with the A Running Start video series. It is important to keep training both educational and fun for runners of all ages. This new program will instruct runners on the fundamentals of our sport while keeping it interesting and entertaining."
"If we can all get out and challenge ourselves to learn something new while testing the limits...
"A Running Start is an incredible source for athletes of any age and level. Keeping running fun and teaching the basic fundamentals is key to an athlete's success and enjoyment of the sport. A Running Start does just that. It educates athletes on important basics in a manner that will keep them motivated and give them an understanding of what they are doing."
..."Wow! Checked out your website today - I LOVE IT! I have a middle school running club and will be using your site often!! Thanks for making new, exciting plans for the club so much easier!"
Annette Kenealy,
Rockingham County MS, Wentworth, NC

- Support I am not a speaker of Tarifit but i believe a Tarifit wiki version would be a very good idea and an interesting challenge. The language is spoken by around 4 million people around the world and for all these people a Tarifit encyclopaedia would be one of their main sources of knowledge and information. I do believe that Tarifit varsion would be a big asset to wikipedia. -- Szvest 18:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support It has a valid iso code and a sufficient number of speakers, I'll help this project to success even though I don't speak this variety of berber but another.Toira 20:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support Great idea! I hope I can crimp some Dutch Berbers for this. Steinbach (formerly Caesarion) 23:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support I also find it a good idea! Now that the neo-tifinagh is the official writing for berber languages in Morocco which is developed by IRCAM, Tarifits written letters will be therefore standardized and will not make use of the many (various) complicated latin letters Hussa 23:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support, if tarifit contributors are enough. Ayadho 13:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- Support Tarifit is spoken by 4.5 million people and there are numerous websites which promote the language. If there are more native speakers who are willing to contribute, then I believe it has the potential to grow like Kabyle Wikipedia. --Jose77 05:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Support, Tarifit is a living languange and i beleive that a wikipedia in tarifit will give a good resource of informations and knowledges to its native speakers.--Zanatos11 23:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support,Tarifit is spoken in North Morocco by some 5-6 million people. From the late sixties onwards, Rif Berbers migrated in considerable numbers to the Netherlands and Belgium. In the Netherlands the estimated number of speakers of tarifit is 350000 Dutch citizens from Moroccan origin.The Netherlands is home to the largest Rif Berber population outside of Morocco. Amsterdam is the third largest Rif Berber city in the world after Nador and Al Hoceima.In the academic year 2003-2004 tarifit courses are offered at Leiden University by dr. Mena Lafkioui or by Prof. Harry Stroomer.--agzennay 12:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

- We Have to Give Birth to Wikipedia Tarifit and bring it to the world , its a beautiful language , and it has many native speakers who are using wikipedia either in arabic or in french ! then why not using it on their own language ? Syphax
- Wikipedia would get more visitors if the Riffian language is added. It would gain more popularity among Moroccan people ( 5million Riffian speakers). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk)
- I'm demanding Wikipedia to urge the adoption of the new Riffian language into its languages. Kabyle people, who got theur language added, now all visit wikipedia as their main source of knowledge. I'm native Riffian and I demand to add this language. PS: I can contribute in all the editing and stuff.
Arguments against[edit]
- none.
General discussion[edit]
- In the arguments there is some discussion about the script that is to be used.. What script will be used ? GerardM 02:16, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Tarifit is mostly written in latin script in Morocco ,France , Netherlands and Belgium and this is what we will do .--agzennay 18:59, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- I do prefer that we'll write in both scripts, after all Tifinagh is the historical script of all Berber (Tamazight) languages, but , in order to make it clear and understood for everybody , we shall write in Latin script too... Syphax 16:45 , 22 Aout 2011 (UTC)
- Fortunately , Now all Wikipedia Users all over the world can have their keyboards on Tifinagh Script,[[1]] :
Localisation update[edit]
- On Betawiki the required number of localisations have been done .. congratulations.. Another requirement is a few months of activity .. So please keep up the good work both for the localisation and the creation of new content. Ask me again in a month, and with sufficient activity, I will start looking for verification. Thanks, GerardM 13:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- Currently 98.13% of the most used MediaWiki messages have been localised. Localisation of these messages is a requirement before your request is finally assessed. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM 13:04, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Trophy Ridge introduced its brand new Trophy Ridge React sight at the 2013 ATA Show in Louisville, Ky. With its innovative Smart Pin Technology, which allows the sight's pins to react to each other—once one pin is sighted in, the others are too. The React is 100-percent tool-less, and once calibrated at 20 and 30 yards, it becomes mathematically impossible for 40-, 50- and 60-yard pins to be inaccurate. With a polymer-based frame that's lighter yet durable, this right- or left-hand specific sight features a reversible sight mount to aid with high or low anchor points along with multiple mounting holes. The Trophy Ridge React is available now and retails for $149 in black, and $159 in camo. Check out the video straight from the 2013 ATA Show.

Copy-wrong! Unpacking the $1.92M Downloading Verdict
In any event, we left the office Thursday of last week feeling uneasy; we just didn't understand how or why someone could get hit so hard for illegally downloading two dozen songs. With that in mind, we went back and checked in with Fred von Lohmann, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation out in San Francisco, to bring us up to speed.

My New Obsession...
I captured this images from the Smithsonian National Zoo Panda Cam. This is Mei and her female cub. |
Only 5 zoos in America have panda bears and they're all on loan from China for reproductive purposes. A specialist from China monitors all efforts. It's quite an operation they've got going on. Lun Lun has been interesting to watch and learn about because there are twins. I learned from their informative site, Atlanta does have the better site for information and updates, that pandas really only know how to take care of one baby. In the wild, one will most likely not survive if there are twins. So the Atlanta team switches out the cubs every 4 hours. So while Lun Lun takes care of one, the zookeepers care for the other. Or as they refer to them, Cub A and Cub B. Pandas are not named until their 100th day which is Chinese tradition. Of course, the naming contests are underway! And yes, I did enter to win the trip to Atlanta to be a part of the party. The twins are a month older than Mei's little girl cub. I'm just glad there's a girl this time. San Diego had a boy last year.
These cubs grow so fast! I check every morning and throughout the day, and then again when I'm home. Told you, I'm obsessed. When I'm feeling overwhelmed or frustrated, I switch over to the cams. I feel so much better. The National Zoo has good camera work. They zoom in and even have sound. Oh my goodness, that's so much fun to listen to. These babies are very vocal. I can smile and laugh at Mei's cub for hours! She's a talker that girl. The Atlanta zookeepers say the twins are too, but I don't know since they don't have sound. Now for Atlanta, their camera is alright. The dens tend to be pretty dark. But I've seen some pretty cute moments. Both cameras are black and white unfortunately.
Hope you learned a little something and thank you for humoring me while I talk about the babies! Please hop over to the sites and learn more about the species, raising cubs, and what you can do to help their survival. On those sites you'll see official color pictures.

Within the arts, there has always been a tension between ornamentation and simplicity. The good artist is one who can execute a technique exceptionally, but the great artist is one who knows when to hold back.
I myself love a good grilled London Broil. But whenever I make it myself, it tastes like pencil erasers. I learned that I was adding way too much oregano to the marinade, and it was overpowering everything. If a little is good, how can more not be good-er?
It's like Reinhardt said, "The more stuff in it, the busier the work of art, the worse it is. More is less. Less is more." Data science is a young occupation that could stand to take from these older pursuits. Whether it's writing, cooking, or painting, editing is a core component of becoming a master of the discipline. Knowing when to hold back. The same is true in analytics. Oftentimes, a data scientist can build a better model, a more complex model, a more accurate model. But that doesn't mean they should. |
Do I really need to build this model? Can I do something simpler?
If your job is building models, all you do is try to build models. A data scientist's job should be to assist the business using data regardless of whether that's through predictive modeling, simulation, optimization modeling, data mining, visualization, or summary reporting.
In a business, predictive modeling and accuracy is a means, not an end. What's better: A simple model that's used, updated, and kept running? Or a complex model that works when you babysit it but the moment you move on to another problem no one knows what the hell it's doing?
Robert Holte argued simplicity versus accuracy in his rather interesting and thoroughly-titled paper "Very Simple Classification Rules Perform Well on Most Commonly Used Datasets." In that paper, the *air quotes* AI model he used was a single decision stump – one rule. In code, it'd basically be an IF statement. He simply looked through a training dataset and found the single best feature for splitting the data in reference to the response variable and used that to form his rule. The scandalous part of Holte's approach: his results were pretty good!
And so, Holte raises this point, "simple-rule learning systems are often a viable alternative to systems that learn more complex rules. If a complex rule is induced, its additional complexity must be justified…"
Complexity must be justified. Stop and think about that a moment.
If I'm working on a high frequency trading model, additional complexity in an AI model might mean millions of dollars in revenue. And I've likely been hired to gold-plate an AI model where there is no other end user beyond myself and a few other PhDs.
But I don't work in high frequency trading. I work at a much more fun company. That means that while some of my models are mission-critical, i.e. revenue is on the line and every bit of accuracy helps, other models are less important.
Recently I needed to build a model that classified users into three groups: paid, likely-to-pay-in-the-future, and will-never-pay-us-a-dime. I could have built a highly complex model. There were many weak predictors at my disposal ("have you generated an API key in the first 30 days?") that would have worked great in an ensemble model. But I stopped myself.
This was a model that no one would have the time to babysit. And our business wasn't on the line. It just needed to be something that worked better than checking "free/paid" within an account.
Holte argues in his paper that often datasets used in predictive modeling have relatively few features that really stand out as predictors. Investigating my data, this was the case. There was one feature that was highly predictive of likely-to-pay-in-the-future. And there was a second feature that was almost as powerful. Other than that, the other features boosted accuracy marginally.
So rather than build a full-fledged AI model, I handed an engineer an IF statement: "Check this and this in a user's account. If those two things are true, they're likely to pay us in the future."
Now, I still let the business know the FPR and TPR of this simple model. You've gotta let people know what they're sacrificing by going with a simple approach. Because whether or not you increase complexity for additional accuracy is not a data science decision. It's a business decision.
So keep in mind that as a data scientist you're a technical person, but there's also a bit of artistry in your job. You are an editor subject to the needs of the business.

John Caldwell Holt (April 14, 1923-September 14, 1985) was an American author and educator, and a pioneer in youth rights theory. At the urging of his sister, Holt became a fifth grade teacher. After several years of teaching in Colorado he moved to Boston where he met fellow teacher Bill Hull, and they decided to start a classroom observation project; one would teach, while the other would watch.
The notes and journal entries Holt accumulated during his first eleven years of teaching formed the core of two of his most popular books How Children Fail and How Children Learn, as well as his less-known and more radical work, Escape from Childhood: The Rights and Needs of Children. These three books detailed the foundational ideas of Holt's philosophy of education. He held that the primary reason children did not learn in schools was fear: fear of getting the wrong answers, fear of being mocked by the teacher and classmates, fear of not being good enough. This was worsened, he maintained, by children being forced to study things that they were not necessarily interested in.
The above information was taken from the Holt article on Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, based on the GNU Free Documentation License.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

First off, the gauge is junk. I sell gauges, lots of very cheap gauges, and I could not sell this gauge to any of my customers. Way off. So I changed to a better gauge. Tested my outboard cylinders to get information to sell a boat. Never used again. Picked it up today to remove the better gauge and the pressure relief valve just fell off. Just junk.

Comments about Actron Compression Tester Kit:
i bought this tester around 2 years ago. i have used it on 4 vehicles with ok results. although i did notice that it didnt give the most accurate reading unless you cranked it down as hard as you could. but then on the 5th vehicle i used it, when i went to remove the tester from the spark plug hole, it would not unscrew. turns out the hose was just spinning in the fitting. i had to cut the hose off as close to the fitting i could get it, then shave down a pair of needle nose pliers to be able to reach in and grabe what was left and turn it out. huge pain. i am lucky that i did get it out and didnt have to remove the head. i would recomend that you buy a better quality one than this if you are going to use it more than once or twice...

Works fine, but you might need to get a tube extention if your spark plugs are resesed at all. Otherwise you might have a problem treading it in and getting a good seal.
Best Uses
Comments about Actron Compression Tester Kit:
This product is absolutely spot on accurate. It's extremely durable as well. The hose construction is nice, and the o-rings are well fitted. A dab of loctite blue on the threads of the adapter to hose connection, left to cure for about two minutes, eliminates the possibility of the connector becoming stuck in the head. It's the best out there, especially in this price range.
Best Uses
Comments about Actron Compression Tester Kit:
Got into trouble with Toyota engine with plugs buried deep in heads, 6-8" down a hole. Kick the engineer that thought that was a practical idea. Gathers oil, water, dirt down the hole from which you pull out the plug.
But this compression tester had no way to tighten in the plug hole except by twisting the hose - not much torque there. Good seal? I hope so.
Oh but if you didn't connect the extension piece on good, the extension stays firmly in the hole but the hose comes undone. Took :25 frustrating minutes trying to figure out how to get the extension out. Finally found a socket that would barely grab it to unbolt, then still had to fish it out. Nearly had to remove the head.
Again: bad engine design, plus barely-passable tool design. We were lucky (creative). Warning: be sure the extension is on tighter than you expect the tester-in-the-plug-hole will be. Is it really that hard to design an engine where the plugs are accessible?

where can I get a replacement soft-spring schrader valve?

Hi folks, I'll be spending the week of the 4th at Bumping Lake Campground with family. I know that the lake is stocked with fingerling rainbows and has kokanee (and bull trout). Any words of advice for this specific lake? Any hope for catching kokanee on the fly? Full-sinking line? [I actually did catch a kokanee on a royal coachman while fishing Mountain Lake, Orcas Island, 25+ years ago. But let's put that in the fluke category.] I've fished the Bumping and Naches Rivers in the past and will probably organize an expedition there for a day or two. But with the lake right there, it seems like a great opportunity. Steve
Steve Everytime i go there, the wind is moving pretty good. The power boats are out in full force if the weather is nice. I don't have any fishing advice since i didn't go too far past the boat launch and the couple inlets on the right hand side with no luck in getting a fish to strike. Good luck.
bumping lake can be fun. for trout the best bet is to go up to the top where the inlet of the river is. ive tried for koke's there on the fly but never got any. i rowed my pontoon across that entire lake one day and caught 2 bull trout and a rainbow on a small streamer. if you got any more Q's about the area feel free to PM.
