- The No. 11 seed is the team's lowest since the 2010 campaign, but Wesleyan's roster is very young and consists of four juniors, six sophomores and three freshmen.
- Sean Choi '21 has been a bright spot for Wesleyan as he's played all 17 matches in the No. 1 spot while boasting a 12-5 record.
- Junior captain Yahya Ladiwala has played every match in the No. 2 spot while sophomore William Bienstock '20 holds a 7-10 record in the No. 3 slot.
- At the bottom of the lineup, Kevin Le '19 has played well in the No. 7 position with a 6-5 mark, Will Coburn '21 owns a 5-6 mark in the No. 8 spot, and Premchai Bunsermvicha '20 sits at 7-9 in the No. 9 slot.

- Samy has once again been spectacular as she enters the weekend with a perfect 17-0 mark from the No. 1 position.

Prasad has played every match in the No. 2 spot and is 12-5 overall, while Vir is 10-6 in the No. 3 position.

Agyemang Badu bemused by Ghana's trophy drought
Since winning its fourth Africa Cup of Nationals title in 1982, Ghana has struggled to refresh its trophy cabinet with another trophy.
The quest to win a fifth AFCON trophy has proven elusive despite making it to the semi-finals of the continent's biggest football competition six times in the last ten years.
The country went a step closer to winning it in 2010 and 2015 but lost out to Egypt and Ivory Coast respectively under very painful circumstances.
Agyemang Badu is one of few experienced figures in the Black Stars who played part in both finals though their efforts on both occasions were not enough to land Ghana her fifth trophy.
The box to box midfielder who is well-known for his thrusting drives featured on GhanaWeb's Sports Check this weekend and the topic came up for discussion. Badu disclosed that he has been left bemused and perplexed by Ghana's unsuccessful attempts to win another trophy.
Badu who is saddened by the situation could not wrap his head around the fact that despite going two penalties ahead against Ivory Coast in the 2015 finale, the Black Stars still could not satisfy Ghanaians hunger for a trophy.
"It's difficult for me to understand what is really happening to us because 3 semifinals (4 actually) and two finals is really good thing for us to win something. Leading somebody two penalties and we still lost that game to Ivory Coast is something up to now I have been thinking about but I don't have answers to it. We did our best, went in strongly hoping that we will win something for the country but you know sometimes football can be like that. At times what you want is not what you get but that cup I knew we will win it after going two penalties ahead but unfortunately that is football", Agyemang Badu said.
Coach Kwesi Appiah returned as Black Stars coach in 2017 with a mandate to qualify and win the 2019 AFCON which will be staged in Cameroon.
The team is currently undergoing a rebuilding and Badu, like many Ghanaians is optimistic that the Stars will lift the 2019 edition.

CASTLETON, Vt. – The Castleton University athletics department gathered together Tuesday night, Dec. 6, at the Casella Theater for the Fall Athletic Awards Show, where the accomplishments of the school's 10 fall programs were recognized.
The event kicked off with the presentation of the President's Cup for Academic Excellence. This coveted award is given out each season to the team with the highest cumulative grade point average. The women's cross country team received the award from Castleton University President Dave Wolk after posting a team GPA just above 3.5.
Men's Cross Country
Castleton enjoyed a stellar season, finishing third at the NAC Championships, its highest finish at the conference meet since 2013, and fifth at the ECAC Championships. Grandon Smith won the NAC and ECAC individual titles and finished 32nd at the NCAA New England Regional on his way to the team MVP award.
Women's Cross Country
The Spartans kicked off the season by winning the Southern Vermont Invitational and capped the 2016 campaign with a second place finish at the NAC Championships, best for the program since 2009, and an eighth place finish at the ECAC Championships. Team MVP Kaylyn Crompton won the NAC and ECAC individual titles in her freshman season.
Field Hockey
Castleton improved upon the previous year's win total for the second straight season with six victories, including a 4-2 win over eventual NAC champion Maine-Farmington and a 5-0 victory over NAC West Division winner Wells. Haley Spittle earned team MVP honors after collecting seven goals and seven assists for 21 points.
For the third straight season, Castleton finished with a winning record within the ECFC at 4-3, including a thrilling Senior Day victory over ECAC Bowl participant SUNY Maritime. Wide receiver Soren Pelz-Walsh adds a second straight team MVP award to his expanding trophy collection, which this year features First Team All-ECFC and First Team Academic All-America honors.
Men's Golf
Castleton started the season with a team victory at the Johnson State Invitational, picked up a fourth place finish at the NAC Championship, and finished 10th at both the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Championship and the NEIGA Championship. Zach Temple collected First Team All-NAC and NEIGA All-New England honors in addition to the team MVP award.
Women's Rugby
Castleton faced some of the top women's rugby teams in the country during its initial season as an NCAA varsity program. Sophomore flanker Savanah Graves earned team MVP honors, scoring a try against Molloy College and making her presence felt as one of the team's tackle leaders throughout the season.
Men's Soccer
The Spartans finished second in the NAC regular season standings with a 7-2 league record and hosted a conference tournament semifinal. Alex McCormick was part of a defensive unit that allowed just six goals in conference play, earning First Team All-NAC, NSCAA Third Team All-Region, and team MVP honors.
Women's Soccer
Castleton once again advanced to the conference tournament with a 5-2-2 conference mark and reached the NAC semifinals. Team MVP Bri DiPhilippo was a solid two-way player in the Spartan midfield, helping guide a defense that allowed just seven goals in NAC action while scoring three goals of her own during the season.
Women's Tennis
The Spartans picked up seven victories during the season, including four wins in NEAC East play that allowed the team to participate in the conference tourney it hosted. Kayla Zsido was named to the NAC Sportsmanship Team and earned team MVP honors with seven singles victories, featuring a 5-2 mark in NAC play, and eight doubles wins.
Castleton finished the 2016 season with nine victories and qualified for the NAC Volleyball Tournament for the second straight year. Team MVP Cassidy Tedeschi was a Second Team All-NAC honoree after leading the Spartans with 192 kills and 22 total blocks, completing an outstanding career within the program.

Philly Inquirer's Review of Our Class
Howie Shapiro, Review in the Philadelphia Inquirer — October 21, 2011
One thought comes first about the overpowering Our Class: The cast and creative team at the Wilma Theater, giving the play a remarkable United States premiere, are serving more than audiences or even the notion of theater.
Their ample abilities strikingly honor the memory of 1,600 Jews who were marched by Catholic Poles - and not invading Germans - into a barn that their attackers locked and set afire in a drench of kerosene.
Our Class, by Polish playwright Tadeusz Slobodzianek, is running in Poland. In its English translation by Ryan Craig and a deeply considered staging by Wilma's artistic director, Blanka Zizka, it's tough, energized and revealing: extraordinary, provoking theater.
The play is inspired by historian Jan Gross' book Neighbors, an account of the murders in the hamlet of Jedwabne in 1941, after Germans took the country from Soviet occupiers. The town's name is never mentioned in the play, whose resonance flares far beyond any one town, one people, one massacre.
The playwright creates 10 fictional characters, classmates in the town — five Jewish Poles, five Catholic Poles — and traces them from childhood through life. The kids are, before the Soviets come, kids: They play, learn together, taunt each other.
As the Soviets invade, then the Germans, the kids grow, allegiances shift and Polish classmates begin to show two faces, beating up Jewish classmates in town, tolerating them in school.
Among Our Class' strengths is the way it lays out an acceleration of hatred, showing the driving forces: loss of Polish sovereignty, the attraction of communism as an equal playing field, acceptable anti-Semitism opened wider by German occupation and a constant feeling of entrapment.
Our Class is not for the meek; its rough violence -- in speech and action -- becomes constant, as it did in life during that time.
When classmates die and their ghosts begin to smother the living, Zizka sends the dead, one by one, into a harshly-lit glass house that may symbolize the death barn (Marsha Ginsberg's set); even the furniture they've been using is collapsed. Through the show, the cast delivers little songs, probably from their youths. The effect is confusing and the actors are so tentative, the lyrics can't come through — the sole discord in an exceptional night.
The play uses a roll-call of names to trace the town's murdered relations of a single survivor then, decades later, the several generations of that man's offspring. The first roll-call underscores the horror; the second, the hope. And so I offer, now, a roll call of the 10 actors who make this absorbing theater work:
Krista Apple, playing a Polish woman who becomes stygmatized for her bravery; Kate Czajkowski, as a Jewish woman saved by a compromising decision; Emilie Krause, as a Jew whose young marriage leads to naught.
Ross Beschler, playing the young Jew who embraces the Soviets and anything that suits him; Dan Hodge, as the Pole who drapes himself in the vestments of goodness; Kevin Meehan as a Pole who is tortured and tortures; Allen Radway, as a two-faced Pole in everything he does; Ed Swidey, as a Pole who saves a Jew but essentially destroys her; Matteo Scammell, as a Jewish scapegoat; and Michael Rubenfeld, a Jew who goes off to America.
All of these are classmates for life, in a world that never really learns its lessons.

The Beginning
After so long, my aunt met a man and they fell in love. She was happy to have a man in her life to help her with the kids and to grow old with. He was amazing with the kids, even us kids next door. Time passed and his beer with dinner turned into a six pack. Being so close, I didn't have to be in their house to know that things had changed. While over with my cousin, I noticed that he would sometimes snap at them for the stupidest things. Things eventually moved from rude remarks and uncalled for punishments to more serious things. Countless times, my cousin would run next door to my mother for help because my aunt's husband was drinking again and things got out of control. The cops were called but charges weren't pressed. The beatings would stop and then, not long after, they would start again. The oldest daughter finally tried standing up for her mother and instead of my aunt's throat, he turned to her oldest daughter. That time, my aunt didn't just let it go. She stayed with him and tried helping him by making him go to rehab. He stopped drinking for a long time and soon they were having a baby of their own. They added an adorable baby boy to the family. After a couple years they moved away. He started being rude to the eldest daughter and mother again. Luckily, it did not take long for her to leave him for good.
Obviously, there is more to this that story. But, this is about my story, not my aunt's. Growing up and seeing what they went through, I always told myself that I would never be in an abusive relationship. I would never be with someone who disrespects me and hits me. Seeing all that did make me stronger in a lot of ways. I never was in a relationship where anyone beat me. But, that's not the only type of abuse there is, which is something I found out when I was sixteen.
My Story
After him, my friend and I met these guys at the mall. For some reason, I liked one of them and we started talking. I was 16 and he was 20, or so he said. After a few weeks of talking, he informed me that he had lied about his age and he was actually 23. I already liked the guy, so I told him I didn't care. My parents on the other hand? I thought that what they didn't know wouldn't hurt them. After a couple months of dating and making out, we were at his mothers house where he lived and he didn't want to stop at that. I really didn't want to, but I also was kind of curious. I was 16, why wouldn't I be? So after much hesitation and a lot of convincing on his part, I semi-willingly/semi-unwillingly just did it. There after, it wasn't as awkward for me. I willing did it throughout our ten month relationship.
After awhile, he got very possessive. He would moan and groan, if I made plans to hang out with my friends without him. I had to report everything to him. Where I was when I didn't go to school. What I did after school. He even made me quit the after-school art programs I was in because he wanted to spend time with me. The relationship that I though was going great felt more like a prison. I thought I loved him and I wanted to be with him, so I did it. My days ended up consisting of school and him. The only people, he approved of me hanging out with, was my sister and only two of my friends. I have problems with migraines and I get sick very easily. When it came to me not feeling well, he would be angry with me because I did not want to have sex. I got sick with mono and was sick for two weeks and the main thing he cared about was me getting better because he wanted to have sex. It got to the point where the sex was no longer enjoyable and more of a chore. He had me convinced that it was cheating to simply talk to or hang out with any of my male friends. My best friend who I grew up with was seen as a threat to him and he got mad when I would talk to him, even though I saw this friend more as family than a male friend.
Near the end of the relationship, it felt like the walls were closing in on me. I was never allowed to do anything without him. I rarely wanted to have sex with him. I stopped kissing him because I could have sworn that I smelled other girls on him, and I don't just mean perfume. I was feeling worthless and he had me believing that he was the only one I should care about and be around. I rarely hung out with my cousins or best friend any more. I never got to see my older sister because he hated her. I saw my little sister because she would smoke with him. I saw my parents because I lived with them, but not as much as I'd have liked. I saw two of my friends: one of whom he was sleeping with during our relationship and the other one knew and wasn't telling me until after I had left him. I was depressed often and always stuck in the house. School and work were vacations to me. It was the only place I could be without him. After ten months of being with him, I finally got enough courage and strength to leave him. It hurt and it took everything in me, even though I did it through text. My friend had finally come to me and told me that I needed to leave him. She wouldn't tell me why, because it would hurt her friendship with another girl, but she didn't want to see me hurting. Even though I was angry for her not telling me why, that one step was what pushed me to end it all.
After I broke up with him, I thought that I was free. And yes, for the most part I was free. I no longer was chained down (metaphorically). I could finally see my friends again. But it took a long time. After I left, he kept begging me to come back and denying everything. When he wasn't doing that, he would be harassing me and saying rude and hurtful things. It took me until just a year ago to be able to even hang out with another guy, or talk to another guy while dating someone, because of how much he had it drilled in my head that, just because I'm talking to a guy, that I'm cheating. Six years later, it is still effecting me.
After dating him, I always said that I would never put myself in that situation again. If I ever got there, I would end it and get out before I got in too deep. And I did... try. A year after leaving him, I met someone else. We started dating and everything was great. Six months after dating him, I found out that he was snorting pills. I could tell when he was because he was so different. When he was clean, he was nice to me. Treated me like the world. He was the man I fell in love with and tried to stay with, for two and a half years. But after another year, things just got worse. I tried helping him through his addiction the best I could, but you can only help someone so much and then they need to help themselves. He did help himself. Sadly, he helped himself to alcohol and his mothers pills instead of rehab. He would leave me home with his family who found every reason possible to talk me down and went drinking. He wouldn't come home until four to six in the morning. One night he even stayed out until nine and came home with hickies all over his neck, claiming that he did not recall how he got them.
While on the pills, he was rude and hurtful. He never hit me but he didn't have to. I had gained weight after getting on the "depo" shot for birth control and he would always comment about me gaining weight and how maybe I should eat right and not just sit around, even though I worked 30 hours a week on my feet and would go hiking at least every other week with my mother. The pills made him disgusting to me and I stopped having sex with him as often. Who really wants to have sex with someone who is sniffing and drugged up all the time? Not me, that's for sure. He would always be losing his job, lieing to me and taking it out on me when we could not make ends meet with our bills. It was always my fault that I gained weight, and that I didn't make enough food for dinner for myself, him and his mother and three sisters, whom I kindly let live with us after they lost their home. Despite how they all treated me and earning only thirty hours a week, I still only made $175 a week. I rarely brought my friends around because I was so embarrassed by him and didn't want them to see how he treated me.
After two and a half years of helping him and it only getting worse, I had enough. I realized where this would be heading if I did not leave and knew I should not be depressed and miserable inside. The man who I loved was long gone and was replaced by this heartless pill snorting man. I remembered how I felt in the last relationship and what I had told myself. Knowing I'd ended things before, I knew I could again. I just had to wait for the right moment.
This time it was different. Different in the sense that I was living with him. Knowing his history of stealing and selling things, I did not want to leave him and leave all my things there. After a few months of waiting, we both lost our jobs. Never in my life have I been so happy about being fired. Due to losing my job, I had to move back with my mother. By this time, his family had moved out and he went with them. I took all the important items and sellables, that were mine, to my mothers with me. As for everything else, I claimed his mothers storage unit was too full and stored all my things in my own. Then I finally left him. Things were rough at first with him and his family harassing me. They were trying to say that I was only with him for his money and took everything. Keep in mind, I made more in one job, during the most recent year, than he did in the eight that he had managed to work at throughout the year. Everything I took, my family gave me, bought me, or I bought myself. They tried telling me that I was worthless and my mother was a piece of shit and I was just like her. They tried saying that my sister was nothing but a whore and we all are trash. They complained about how I took the car after everything that he had put in to it, even though my grandparents had bought the car for me.
But even after all that struggle, it was worth it. Even after leaving a man whom I was engaged to, I was happier. I was no longer feeling worthless and no longer was feeling the need to seek medial help for my emotions.
The Outcome
Even though this does not seem like much, it is still mental abuse. Mental abuse is serious and comes in different forms. Many people think that physical abuse is the only way you can be hurt. They are wrong. Mental abuse is real and not something that is shown by some bruises. It is something that hurts deep down inside. It is something people think medication can just fix. These feelings have long term effects on people and lead to a lot of mental conditions - depression and suicide are just some. Just know that you're not alone. You are the only one in control of your life. The only one who can control what you do and do not do. You control how you should feel and look. People who mentally abusive are nothing more than bullies. It's hard, I know. It took me until after the breakup to let anyone other than my mother in on what had happened in my second relationship. Most of my family were shocked and thought that we were doing so well. They didn't know about his problems, because I made excuses and was ashamed.
Don't be afraid to reach out to someone and find help. No one is perfect, but they don't deserve to feel like they are worthless.
It's been almost three years since I left him. Things have finally been back on track since those two relationships. I can finally freely talk to my male friends without feeling guilty, even though I've never cheated in my life. I still do have trust issues when it comes to dating, but nothing time can't help. I've learned, grew and got stronger from my past and it has made me who I am. Yes, I'd prefer it didn't happen because of how I felt then. But I still would not change my past. Without it, I wouldn't be the strong person who I am today.

More than a kvetch. WordPress developers are constantly making updates that when applied break my blog. Howsa?? It's not the basic site functions, but a huge range of plugins that frequently fail to work after an update, because the core changes some code. Many plugin developers can't be arsed or refuse to maintain their plugins to keep up with these irksome changes, so the plugin it reamains incompatible. This is no 'small fry' as many site developers rely on various plugins for major features and functions of their design. I dread every wordpress core update that comes out for fear that something else will break because of these code changes.
What to do? Other CMS platforms have run into similar probelms and one workable solution is to maintain a list of 'core plugins' that always get updated by wordpress developers to maintain compatibility with the latest version.
You guys do this already with aksimet and hello dolly, well, let's extend the list to mayby 6 other essential plugins, like contact-us, backup, etc. whatever gets voted as 'essential' At least we can be sure that these plugins will be maintained and reliable with every update.
Another option may be to require any plugin developer who registers here to be informed of explicit code changes whenever there is a new core release. Along with notes and API as to how these changes apply to functions. At least then there might be a kick start to consider how this might impact their plugins.
I know about the plugins compatibility list, but that's not much good if a plugin is already installed and broken.

- Has started to form sentences – although these occasionally still need 'Mummy Translator' to help out… (another one for my CV)
- Can count to ten.
- Is swiftly learning how to unscrew objects (uh-oh).
- Still suffers from CMPA and a soya allergy.
At two, H-Bear loves:
- Trains (or "gaaaain!"), tractors (or "gackgor!"), lorries (or "orry!"), cars (or "car car!"), and aeroplanes (or "aiiiiirgaaaaain!") – all said with much enthusiasm and gusto when spotted.
- Tomato ketchup ("dip-dip!") and sausages. I swear it's all he would eat if we let him.
- Hey Duggee – especially the train episode.
- Busby. He's going to struggle to adjust when she starts school in September. He currently copies everything she does, which is hilarious for us (but not so much for her).
- Counting.
- To say "whhhhhhy?"
My baby boy is still very much a Mummy's Boy – for which I'm (mostly) thankful. He also has a soft spot for Nick, and for his Grandad. I so love how affectionate he is; he's always up for a cuddle and read.
H-Bear is our explorer, who loves to climb, run and go on adventures. He starts at nursery (on a farm!) in September, and I think being surrounded by children his own age (without me around) will bring his development on leaps and bounds.
I can't wait to see where the next year takes us, although if it could slow down a bit… please?!

...so I had to find something beautiful enough for the first blog entry! This mindbender was produced in 1895 by the great Russian composer Alexei Troitsky.
(Didactic parenthetical: People who create chess puzzles are called "composers," just like composers of music. When the puzzle's condition is "White to play and win/draw," we call that type of position a study. Puzzles of the type "White to play and checkmate in three moves" are generally called problems. Studies are good practice for endgame players, problems are good practice for your calculation skills. Both types of puzzles can test the limits of your imagination!)
It's White's move, and we need to find a way for White to win against Black's best defense. It certainly would be nice for White to promote the pawn on g6. (Remember that when you see a diagram on the Web or in a book, White's pieces are generally moving UP, and Black's pieces are moving DOWN: this is a useful convention.)
The first thing I might look at is 1.gxh7, but then Black can simply play 1...Kg7 and eat White's last pawn for lunch on the next move.
The second thing I might look at would be 1.Bh6+ Kg8 (Black has to guard the h7 pawn; otherwise, White will play 2.gxh7 and queen the pawn with an easy win) 2.g7 Kf7 (or perhaps 2...e6+ instead). But it's not clear how White breaks through Black's fortress. (Do you see White's problem? If you don't, try making moves for both sides until White wins...or doesn't.)
Here's a hint: What is the best way for White to win the position below? Does it involve blackmail or gunplay?
If you give up, you'll find the answer on the Russian-language Wikipedia entry for Troitsky. But please don't give up too easily!

It has come to my attention that some think the last post is about my dad. Though funny, it is incorrect. My father, alas, is no philosopher.
Notes from the Underground is a brilliant piece of existentialist literature published by Fydor Dostoyevsky in 1864.
The text in the previous posts come from excerpts that my 17 year old self highlighted upon reading it for the first time.
It's a wonderful read and very short, about a hundred pages or so. Read it, you'll laugh.

Ken Watanabe due to return to 'The King and I' on March 17
NEW YORK (AP) – Ken Watanabe will return to his royal robes on Broadway in "The King and I" starting March 17 after he recovers from stomach cancer treatment.
Lincoln Center Theater said Thursday that the Tony- and Oscar-nominated actor will take over the role from Hoon Lee.
Watanabe, the 56-year-old Japanese actor, made his American stage debut last year, earning a Tony nod opposite Kelli O'Hara in the revival of "The King and I."
He was due to return to the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical March 1 but had to postpone after undergoing endoscopic surgery for stomach cancer in Japan.
The actor wrote on his Twitter account that the early stage cancer was found in a medical checkup. He wrote in Japanese, "I hate to worry you, but please wait."

Started September 15, 2010 - 4 hours so far
Needed a bit of a break from the fuel tanks, am also waiting for another batch of proseal from Vans. So I started to work on the empennage fairings.
Read through the directions and they seem pretty straight forward as far as getting them fitted. I am going to use the West Systems to fiberglass them so there a smooth transition from the fairings to the empennage parts. The only one that will be removable will be the bottom fairing on the rudder. This is just in case I need to get at the light and/or wiring.
Got all the fairings trimmed, fitted and sanded. Before I rivet them to the empennage, i will be using proseal to attach strips of aluminum to the insides of the fairings as a better support for the rivets. I do not want them pulling through the fiberglass.

The Mystique of the Battle of the Bulge
By Furano Yukihira
The Daily Magi
September 16, 2059
The Battle of the Bulge (16 December 1944 – 25 January 1945) was a major German offensive campaign launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in Belgium, France and Luxembourg on the Western Front toward the end of World War II in Europe. The surprise attack caught the Allied forces completely off guard and became the costliest battle in terms of casualties for the United States, whose forces bore the brunt of the attack. It also severely depleted Germany's war-making resources.
The battle was known by different names. The Germans referred to it as Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein ("Operation Watch on the Rhine"), while the French named it the Bataille des Ardennes ("Battle of the Ardennes"). The Allies called it the Ardennes Counteroffensive. The phrase "Battle of the Bulge" was coined by contemporary press to describe the way the Allied front line bulged inward on wartime news maps and became the best known name for the battle.
The German offensive was supported by several subordinate operations known as Unternehmen Bodenplatte, Greif, and Währung. Germany's goal for these operations was to split the British and American Allied line in half, capture Antwerp, and then proceed to encircle and destroy four Allied armies, forcing the Western Allies to negotiate a peace treaty in the Axis Powers' favour. Once that was accomplished, Hitler could fully concentrate on the eastern theatre of war.
The offensive was planned with the utmost secrecy, minimizing radio traffic and moving troops and equipment under cover of darkness. The Third U.S. Army's intelligence staff predicted a major German offensive, and Ultra indicated that a "substantial and offensive" operation was expected or "in the wind", although a precise date or point of attack could not be given. Aircraft movement from the Russian Front and transport of forces by rail, both to the Ardennes, was noticed but not acted upon, according to a report later written by Peter Calvocoressi and F. L. Lucas at the codebreaking centre Bletchley Park.
Near-complete surprise was achieved by a combination of Allied overconfidence, preoccupation with Allied offensive plans, and poor aerial reconnaissance. The Germans attacked a weakly defended section of the Allied line, taking advantage of heavily overcast weather conditions, which grounded the Allies' overwhelmingly superior air forces. Fierce resistance on the northern shoulder of the offensive around Elsenborn Ridge and in the south around Bastogne blocked German access to key roads to the northwest and west that they counted on for success; columns that were supposed to advance along parallel routes found themselves on the same roads. This and terrain that favoured the defenders threw the German advance behind schedule and allowed the Allies to reinforce the thinly placed troops. Improved weather conditions permitted air attacks on German forces and supply lines, which sealed the failure of the offensive. In the wake of the defeat, many experienced German units were left severely depleted of men and equipment, as survivors retreated to the defenses of the Siegfried Line.
The battle involved about 610,000 American men, of whom some 89,000 were casualties, including 19,000 killed. It was the largest and bloodiest battle fought by the United States in World War II.
Casualty estimates from the battle vary widely. The official U.S. account lists 80,987 American casualties, while other estimates range from 70,000 to 108,000. According to the U.S. Department of Defense the American forces suffered 89,500 casualties including 19,000 killed, 47,500 wounded and 23,000 missing. An official report by the United States Department of the Army lists some 108,347 casualties, including 19,246 killed, 62,489 wounded and 26,612 captured and missing. The Battle of the Bulge was the bloodiest of the battles that U.S. forces experienced in World War II; the 19,000 American dead were unsurpassed by those of any other engagement. British losses totaled 1,400. The German High Command's official figure for the campaign was 84,834 casualties, and other estimates range between 60,000 and 100,000.
The Allies pressed their advantage following the battle. By the beginning of February 1945, the lines were roughly where they had been in December 1944. In early February, the Allies launched an attack all along the Western front: in the north under Montgomery toward Aachen; in the center, under Courtney Hodges; and in the south, under Patton. Montgomery's behavior during the months of December and January, including the press conference on 7 January where he appeared to downplay the contribution of the American generals, further soured his relationship with his American counterparts through to the end of the war.
The German losses in the battle were critical in several respects: the last of the German reserves were now gone, the Luftwaffe had been shattered and the remaining German forces in the West were being pushed back to the defenses of the Siegfried Line.
Historian Patrick K. O'Donnell writes that on 8 December 1944, U.S. Rangers at great cost took Hill 400 during the Battle of the Hürtgen Forest. The next day GIs who relieved the Rangers reported a considerable movement of German troops inside the Ardennes in the enemy's rear, but that no one in the chain of command connected the dots.
According to Stanley Sandler, "The initial success of Hitler's Ardennes offensive, launched 16 December 1944, prompted Churchill to ask Stalin on 6 January 1945 for Soviet assistance to relieve the pressure, by way of an immediate offensive." On Friday, 12 January, the Soviets began a massive Vistula–Oder Offensive, planned to begin on 20 January.
During World War II, most U.S. black soldiers still served only as truck drivers and as stevedores (except for some separate tank, tank destroyer, and artillery battalions as well as in Army Air Force fighter units). In the midst of the Battle of the Bulge, General Eisenhower was severely short of replacement troops for existing military units which were totally white in composition. Consequently, he made the decision to allow African American soldiers to pick up a weapon and join the white military units to fight in combat for the first time. More than 2,000 black soldiers had volunteered to go to the front. This was an important step toward a desegregated United States military. A total of 708 African Americans were killed in combat during World War II.

Well, not much has gone on this week. Talked to Financial Aid yet again yesterday on discovering the possiblity that, if I go ahead with a 15 credit hour schedule I would run short on being able to pay the housing costs. I said, "Can I get a Perkins loan?", to which they said "We'll have to see if there are any funds left and we will let you know in about 7-10 days." Great. More waiting. Just what I need.
Well, there are three options here…
A) Stick the 15 hours out and hope for the loan
B) If I don't get the loan, drop down to 9 hours (dropping two classes)
C) Drop to 9 hours anyway even if I do get the loan
Maybe I should do option C, because think of it this way, I haven't been in class of any kind in almost four years. I need to ease back into it. And as my friend John puts it, maybe I should take an extra loan if I can get it to have a little extra in the kitty, just in case.
In other news… (god, this does sound like a newscast), I have started talking to a guy that has been interested in me for a while… who lives in Atlanta. I know what you're thinking, another long distance possibility? But this guy has been seeking me out, and he sounds very interesting. We share some common ground, and he loves my voice. Take it from a aspiring broacaster that one loves complements to their voice.
As I always say, "We'll see what happens."(TM)

Happy Birthday Houston Rocker!
Happy 3rd Birthday to Houston!
Houston's Mommy and Daddy have really lovely property that they've had Houston's parties on since he's been having parties, and it's BEAUTIFUL! Mommy loves all the trees and nature... it makes for some really nice photos. (Note to grandparents... if there are photos you like, you can click on them in the posts, right click once they are enlarged and save them!)Okay back to the party... there was tons of yummy food, tons of running around like crazy people, tons of presents to open, and some SUPER yummy cake. :)There was even a large tarp intended to be turned into a giant slip and slide. The kids were having so much fun running around on just the tarp without the suds and bubbles that we decided not to ruin a good thing. :)Thank you Bears for another lovely afternoon!

Fires, and Earthquakes, and Hurricanes... OH MY!
Rachel here. Virginia has had a rough ride the last few months. 4 months ago our area was hit HARD by tornadoes... which landed my girls and I under the stairs skyping with Bryan who was out of town. There have been fires burning in the Great Dismal Swamp. Last Tuesday our entire area was shaken by an earthquake... COMPLETELY shocking... it was nutso. And now today, while I hung out in the mountains, my entire family hunkered down in Tidewater to ride out Irene. So far all are safe and preparing for the surge. This what was we saw all day:... big, thick, crazy clouds... and it's just now starting to get pretty windy out. Mother Nature may have a few up and coming tricks up her sleeve, and frankly... I'm not amused. :)

Potty Training... the Next Generation...
Hello people! Emma Grace here. I'm proud to announce Baby is potty training! She's doing a great job too. Baby is very good at letting me know when she has to potty, I run to Mommy so she can help take her undies off, and then we run run run to the potty. What a good girl!I'm doing fantastically as well. I'm doing all my shenanigans on the potty and haven't had an accident all week! I've been dry during nap times since before I started training, but Mommy still makes me wear a pull up JUST IN CASE. My bedtime pull up is also almost always dry in the morning as well. SO EXCITING! :)

Just dance...
OMG ladies and gentlemen... I'm a ballerina. In hopes of keeping me normal, unvain (is that a word?), and in hopes I would have a healthy body image, Mommy and Daddy attempted to coax me to play soccer. I'm under the impression soccer is for boys and refuse. Instead I begged and begged and begged Mommy and Daddy to let me be a ballerina. Mommy is attempting to keep her wits about her and has decided to go with the flow, and she does admit that I look so cute she could eat me up in one little gulp. See...The two of them are continuing to attempt to talk me into playing soccer in the spring... something about me being well rounded... whatevs.
Oh and here is the baby sister... well, because she's a complete mess... in an adorable mess kind of way. Happy Thursday all!

No rhyme or reason...
... as in this post has no rhyme or reason to it at all... but since I'm not on facebook anymore, I feel the need to share meaningless things here. Awesome. Rachel here by the way. We've been up to a whole lot of nothing these days, and it sure is nice. By a whole lot of nothing I mean... playing outside, playing with playdoh, painting, taking extra long baths, and watching "Chockie Facky" (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) like it's going out of style. It's been nice to not have to get in the car... really nice. Things have been getting done around the homestead as well... slow and steady. Yesterday I was cleaning out the videos/dvds for the 300th time and decided to see what some of the little tapes (i.e. from the camcorder) were. One of them was tons of footage of baby Reese staring up at me, trying to sit up, and some from her first birthday. I have quite a bit of footage of the girls now from my Kodak, but I hadn't picked it up in a while. I got some funny footage of Emma Grace working on her flashcards with while sitting on the potty. Wouldn't you know I can't get the driver from the camera working on the computer?! Bastards of America! Yeah I just said that. It was the best 4.5 minutes you'd ever spend watching a video that's for sure. Until I can figure out that mess, I'll share some photos from the past week.
IF I were still on facebook, this would be my new profile picture because seriously... could you die right now? Emma Grace is being so cooperative when it comes to photos right now. "Emma Grace can I take you're picture?" "Sure Mommy." I take the picture. "Now me see Mommy! Mommy!" Instant gratification is this girl's motto for sure.
Editor's note... this helmet is nowhere near actually on this child's head. Let's hope this means her brain is extra absorbent... in a good way.Recent mornings routine... wake up, demand pancakes and syrup, go potty, get into undies, eat breakfast for 3.5 seconds, play dress up (hence this ensemble), eat for 2.5 more seconds, demand one of the following "Chockie Facky," "Itty Poppins," or "Chee Bang Bang." This morning... "Tangled"... Reese is Rapunzel because of her "long beautiful hair", Emma Grace is Tinkerbell wearing rain boots... what story doesn't need a fairy, and I'm Mother Gothel... probably because I haven't showered or brushed my teeth. And just in case this post was starting to make too much sense... we have critters. First... I found this praying mantis while pulling weeds the other day. Can you see him? He's brown with green eyes. And yes, I pulled weeds... I may never do it again, since we're on the subject, because now I have an itchy mess on my wrist covered in ointment (isn't that one of the most disgusting words?) and a Barbie band aid. And then we have Billy Murray... our latest resident groundhog. Would it kill the little guy to go eat the weeds? I mean seriously!Up and coming highlights... Reese has her "open house" for dance class Saturday AND preschool starts in 11 days! :)

PT update...
Rachel here. Our little Emma Grace is about 90% potty trained. :) She wears underpants now all day except for nap time and bedtime, and she uses the potty when she has to... on her own terms. We've run errands with her in her underpants (we do find ourselves asking her like every 5 minutes if she has to go though... just in case), and she wore them all day at Jackson's birthday party... nevermind her pulling them down in the middle of the animal show. :) She has an occasional accident... poop... due to stalling and then it being too late to make it to the potty. That'll come. Nonetheless we're so proud of our little Emma Grace!

Emma Grace here... I know right?! HELLO WORLD! :) I've been invited here to blog today about my lover Jackson. I love him. He's amazing. And did I mention I'm willing to push my sister down and pull her hair in order to prove my love to sweet Jack? I love him. He's 4 now. I love 4 year olds. Swoon. Oh wait... I better get to the point before they don't allow me to guest blog here anymore. ;)
We traveled to Maryland this weekend to help celebrate Jackson's (SWOON!) birthday, and we definitely did it in style. His mommy and daddy threw him a dinosaur party at their local nature center. It was awesome... there wasn't a detail left undone. Mere can throw a party... for reals. It's a constant inspiration to Mommy. Mommy may have finally decided to buy some super cute downloads, for Reese's Jessie cowgirl party in October, from Etsy... because seriously people... Jackson's (SWOON!) were cute! But more on those later... here are some of the yummy goodies we took part in...Check these out! Mere cut squeezed oranges in half and filled them with blue jello. Once they were solidified, she sliced them... so cute!Bug nets filled with goodies for our favors.Here starts the pdf downloads from Etsy Meredith found... so unbelievably cute! She had some really sweet banners as well.Look at our adorable party hats!
Party shenanigans.After some eating and running around, we gathered in a room to get some hands on time with various creatures. We got to touch turtles, bearded dragons, snakes, and hissing cockroaches... we also got to examine (but not touch) a tarantula. It was awesome!Time for cupcakes!
There was also a bit of time after cake to explore the nature center...... and pose for a group picture!Thanks Jackson for inviting us... we love visiting!!!! :)

I started blogging a few months ago.
It happened after reading one of Amit Bhawani's monthly income reports. By some stroke of luck, I read a great comment from someone named Harsh Agrawal. I clicked on his comment, and it led me to a fantastic blog called ShoutMeLoud.
Before reading SML, I was making small, insignificant websites for Orkut scraps, ringtone downloads, jokes, SMS features, and other useless things.
I was thinking that one day my websites would become very famous, and I worked really hard to get them to generate traffic. I started getting nearly 100K visitors per month, but still I was unable to earn any significant amount of money. I was using AdSense, but after researching, I realized that my niches weren't right for AdSense.
I started to become a confident and successful blogger
After reading articles on ShoutMeLoud, I realized that I was actually wasting a lot of time and money in these various entertainment niches. The main reason was because these niches required a lot of multimedia items, and that required really good hosting.
I was investing a lot, but I was earning nothing.
I was also a student at BITS Pilani. I developed a blogging platform (Bitsian.org) for students by using WordPressMU (a multi-user WordPress platform capable of running various blogs). The idea was a hit, and more than 1300 students registered as bloggers on Bitsian.org.
Bitsian.org was so rewarding because I put in a lot of effort, and a lot of people were getting great value from it. I was advertising it all around campus, and I even contacted the Dean of Student Welfare at BITS Pilani to send out an email to all students to let them know about the platform.
I had built a successful product, I had advertised it effectively, and I had a lot of happy users.
- This made me feel like a great entrepreneur.
But I had made several fatal mistakes:
I was investing more than $250/month on hosting (dedicated server to handle 1300 blogs and WordPressMU), but I wasn't even earning $10/month. After eight months, I had success in terms of # of registered users, but I was unsuccessful in terms of ROI (I lost approximately $2400), and I eventually had to close Bitsian.org.
I was also losing money in all of my other websites too. I was just about to leave all of my online businesses behind (all were unsuccessful), and then I found the monthly income reports of ShoutMeLoud. This gave me great hope.
I stopped all websites which were huge losses (because of dedicated hosting), and I concentrated on only blogging for MazaKaro.com (Maza is a Hindi word which means "fun" and Karo means "do", so MazaKaro means "do fun").
I decided to write what I learned from blogging, SEO, and WordPress.
I explored topics like how to become a confident and famous blogger. I read a lot of articles and learned a lot about SEO, blogging, social networking, writing, etc.
I learned about:
- Increasing Twitter followers
- Increasing Facebook fans
- Increasing AdSense revenue
- Increasing affiliate revenue
- Secret SEO tips
- Secret tips to increasing email subscribers
- Secrets of getting approval in the BuySellAds network
- Secrets to getting approval in Commission Junction
- …and a whole lot more.
I learned a lot from reading the secrets of pro bloggers. And then I began to implement these secrets.
Today, I am diligently working on becoming a confident, successful blogger. I am steadily growing my traffic and my revenue streams. With each passing day, things get better and better.
All of this happened because the more I triumphed over adversity, the more confident I became.
And where there's great confidence, great success is sure to follow.

Honda CM450 Bobber/Brat Bike (Making a Lower Shock Mount Bushing Puller.)
Deep Six Cycles
I have been working on modifying a Honda CM450 (Bobber/Chopper Custom thing). I am in the middle of mounting a fender to the Swing arm. I wished to weld the mounting bung for the fender struts to part of the lower shock mount on the swing arm. The only problem became the fact that there is a metal sleeved rubber bushing pressed into the lower shock mount. Heat from welding will absolutely result in this rubber catching fire. Since no reasonable amount of hammering with a punch or drift would budge the bushing I had to come up with another solution. I did not wish to take the swing arm off to press out the bushing in the H Press. Nor did I want to just weld it and have a melt down. Time to search through the scrap bin!
I was able to locate some 1"360 brass and a bit of 1-1/4 6061 aluminum. Game on! Please note some of the steps taken may have been skipped as this is not meant to be a tutorial for turning and lathe work. And some of the basic fundamentals were not photographed.
Here we have the 1" Brass and 1-1/4"Alum drops left over from another project.
I started with the brass first by taking a facing cut to true up the end of the part and eliminate saw marks.
Here is the finished facing cut.
The part was then Center Drillled.
Next drilling with a 5/16 drill bit in order to be threaded with a 3/8-16 tap later on.
Next I added a heavy bevel to the outer edge. This will help the puller enter and find center of the i.d. of the shock bushing mount as it begins to displace the rubber bushing . It reduces chances binding.
Counter sink before tapping to eliminate the bur caused by drilling and ensure the tap enters concentric and on center to the drilled hole. This can reduce tap breakage. Others may find the tap creates a bur and prefer to counter sink after tapping. Both ways have worked for me. Next I threaded the part using the slowest turning speed with the back gear of the lathe engaged. Unfortunately I was in a rush and failed to photo the tapping operation.
On to the aluminum. After facing, center drilling, I selected a W size drill bit. The letter size W bit is about .011 larger than 3/8. This will ensure that the 3/8 bolt that will be passing through the aluminum block will rotate freely with out binding or friction. Next I selected a large drill bit just under the od of the brass part I turned and began drilling the counter bore. Do not drill all the way thorough you only need the counter bore to be a little deeper than the lenght of the brass piece and the bushing you are removing. The goal is for the bushing and the brass to be able to enter the counter bore of the puller completely. The roof or ceiling of the counter bore will support a washer and bolt head on the other side (outside). This set up could have been done with the bolt passing through the brass and the threads in the aluminum or using a nut on the outside to draw the brass puller through the shock mount. But this would have required pulling the rear wheel to perform the work. Which I saw as an unnecessary step at this time.
Next I bored the counterbore out to .020 larger than the O.D. of the brass portion to allow for a nice friction free slip fit. This way I would not have to worry about the bushing binding and becoming caught inside the body of the puller once removed from the shock mount.
Here you can see the heavy chamfer entering the i.d. of the counterbore. This helps guide the bushing into the counterbore.
Here you can see the other side of the aluminum body a 3/8-16 bolt will pass through. The head of the bolt will ride against a washer on this flat surface. The bolt will pass through the aluminum puller body then though the rubber bushing and thread into the brass puller. Be sure you have the heavy chamfer on the brass puller facing the bushing. It is also imperative to make sure the bolt is long enough to thread all the way through your puller body before pulling begins. This will improve the wear of the threads in the brass and decrease the likelihood of damaging the threads. This tool is a great once in a while item. In daily use I would find another option for pressing a threaded top hat bung into the brass body of the puller. But I believe otherwise brass and aluminum are the perfect materials for this tool. They are soft and will not mar or score the shock mount itself. Aluminum could have been used in place of brass but you will likely have problems with the threads stripping. So if that is all you have on hand you will probably have to modify this design.
Here it is ready to extract the bushing. It worked great and did exactly what I needed it to. This tool could have been made a number of different ways. With the tools and materials I had on hand this was the easiest way for me to get it done. Hopefully this will spark an idea for some one that will help them out in a pinch some day. I am also aware that I could have bought a puller of some sort to do this or made a tool to work with my slide hammer. But again this took under 20 minutes and was completed with scrap and cheap material I had on hand.

Eventfinda tickets no longer on sale
The debut New Zealand tour by award winning UK quartet Simon Thacker's Ritmata, performing exhilarating music by the visionary Scottish guitar virtuoso, distilling the essence of his pioneering intercultural musical experiences and lifelong absorption in some of the most powerful sounds from across continents and epochs.
Simon's compositions for Ritmata source musical inspiration from every corner of the globe. As a group, they flit expertly between Middle-Eastern intensity, medieval meditation, Native American affirmation, the limitless expression of Indian ragas, pulsating rhythms from East Africa, the unbridled emotions of flamenco and the celebrations of Sephardic Judaism. Stunning original patterns are woven seamlessly into a new aural fabric, and the outcome sees Simon create his own tradition from his immersion in others.
Featuring soul stirring improvisation and a directly emotive compositional style, Simon leads a stellar lineup of some of Europe's most gifted musicians, consisting of Paul Harrison (piano), Mario Caribe (bass) and Stu Brown (drums/percussion). Experience brilliantly inventive musicianship in effortless meeting of styles, cultures and cultures.
"The leader of the pack clearly is Simon Thacker. His playing affects an ethereal beauty that is unsurpassed by most musicians today... Not only is Mr. Thacker a sublime technician but his artistry seems to soar above that of most mere mortals. His ability to extract such meaning and expression from merely six nylon strings speaks of true genius." The World Music Report
"You could call it soul music, though not in any conventional sense. As eclectically-inclined classical guitarist Simon Thacker explained, the aim of his Ritmata quartet is to take music from various parts of the globe, strip it down to essentials and render it new, sometimes echoing ancestral beliefs and emotions. This they do with surprising, often spectacular, results." The Scotsman
"British classical guitarist Simon Thacker is one of those well-travelled world citizens who has performed across Europe with various world music artists, leads his own ensembles which bridge the East/West divide, is passionate about Segovia, knows his jazz and is a thrilling improviser" Elsewhere
"Simon Thacker is, in my opinion, one of the most important musicians of his generation." Three Weeks
"In the world premiere of Asuramaya, the guitar's role in particular was full of rhythmic and tonal complexities, evoking the music's roots in the ancient Mayans of South America, the Middle East and the Carnatic traditions of South India."
The List
Note: doors open at 7pm, performance starts at 8pm, tickets on the door $25

See?! His toes, his fingers, his ears, his belly button…
And his parents!
Momma cuddles are the best.
Though Eric was not the biggest fan of Dad's new duck call!
Eric, I'm so glad I got some baby snuggles! Kane and Mav are really looking forward to meeting you!

if you're die hard fan of Sexy Venera (such as myself), than you probably know that other than hosting her regular shows @ SexyVeneraCam.com, she was busy lately with having new photoshoots for legendary DDFBusty.com.. so, knowing that all this was taking place like a week ago or so, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that her new outdoor strip pictorial/video was added on Friday @ DDFBusty.com.. and I usually dont have problems picking 4 photos that Im allowed to show you here on my big boobs blog, but picking ONLY 4, out of 130 pics, with all of them being fucking masterpiece of big breasts fetish photography, was seriously HARD task for me today.. I just didnt know if I should show you how cute and innocent she looks in this light summer dress, how fucking sexy she looks with those mega juggs spilling out of her bra, how unbelievable she looks from behind, how mouthwatering she looks playing with her shaved pussy, or how inviting she looks squeezing and licking those giant natural breasts.. Im hoping these 4 shots will give you a pretty good idea of what Im rambling about:
fucking incredible, isn't she!?.. seriously guys, if you're after slim babes with huge natural boobs, Im afraid Sexy Venera is the most ultimate babe of that kind you'll ever see.. so make sure you download this entire pictorial and the 20min video only @ DDFBusty.com… and if you were following closely what's happening, you might have noticed that she did a scene with magnificent Leanne Crow too, but I guess we'll have to be patient about that one (I can NOT tell you how fucking excited I am about that one)..
BooB ON!!!

CMS's lawyer is given extension to get license
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board has given its lawyer eight more months to earn a license to practice law in North Carolina, and held up her performance bonus until she does so.
Regina Bartholomew, chief counsel for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, was hired from New Orleans in July 2007. Her two-year contract called for her to be licensed in North Carolina by September 2008. But she did not take the July bar exam, blaming a staff vacancy that cut into her study time.
Her next chance will be in February 2009, and results generally take about six weeks. The board voted late Tuesday night, after a closed-door discussion, to give her until April 30 to become licensed or face firing.
Bartholomew earns $140,000 a year and is eligible for an annual performance bonus of up to 10 percent of that. The board voted Tuesday to give her 5 percent, or $7,000, payable only if she earns her N.C. license.
Bartholomew is still licensed to practice in Louisiana, a state with laws very different from North Carolina and most other states, legal experts say.
Board members Ken Gjertsen, Molly Griffin and Vilma Leake will work with Bartholomew to craft goals on which she'll be evaluated next year, when her contract is up for renewal.

When the weather is cold and the winter has set in there are some days still perfect for paddling and other watersports - you want good a thermal base layer though!
Lavacore tops have a three layer Polytherm construction to maximise warmth and protection from the sun and wind:
- Outer Layer: Flexible, durable and water repellant outer layer (DWF) that facilitates fast water run-off and quick drying. UPF 50+ for sun protection.
- Middle Layer: Windproof and breathable middle membrane provides anti-wind chill properties, that draws moisture away from the body on the surface and ensures warmth in cold conditions.
- Inner Layer: Warm, moisture wicking and anti-bacterial inner fleece layer minimizes odor and keeps you warm above and below the surface.
As well as being super-warm, the Lavacore tops are very comfortable. They have 4-way stretch, are extended at the back and have thumb loops to prevent ride-up.
The Lavacore range only comes in black (though the women's top has light grey side panels) - not really an issue in sea kayaking that it isn't in a safety colour as it will be under your paddling jacket / cag anyway.
Lavacore tops are great for any watersport where wind chill and splashing are a factor - they will keep you warm when wet and dry quickly - Kayaking, SUP, windsurfing, boating, kayak fishing. They are also neutrally buoyant and so are suitable as a thermal in ocean swimming.
To keep you warm top to toe, Lavacore also have long pants and socks (you can also get tops with a hood - useful for swimming or diving.

Mazda Remote Start Transponder Interface
Part #: 4107
Listing Price:
Selling Price: $25.99
Shipping Price: $10.00
Shipping details: Instock. Usually ships within 5 business days.
Installation info: Professional installation required.
Mazda Remote Start Transponder Interface
This is an interface for vehicles with OEM transponder / microchip keys. Vehicles that utilize a transponder key typically have a small dot on the metal portion of the key and/or the car may be equipped with a green or amber 'security light' on the dash board. This piece ties into your aftermarket remote start / security system to bypass that factory security when engaging remote start.
Use of this transponder bypass DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO LOSE A KEY. This piece simulates a key being in the ignition. It's not some cheap universal piece where you have to lose a factory key in order for it to work properly. You must however have two currently functioning keys in order to program this piece and prove ownership of the vehicle to your security system.
This is a universal piece which will work on any alarm system with a siren output. It includes detailed installation instructions in the box and is quite compact so it can be mounted or hidden away virtually anywhere. We recommend mounting it behind the radio or underneath the dash. Don't save a few bucks and buy a cheap imitation. These can also be used to bypass the OEM immobilizer bypass system so you can make generic non-transponder copies of the keys for your vehicle!

From the first few seconds on the phone with Brian we felt this overwhelming excitement and knew he would be a perfect fit. On our wedding day we felt as if we were on a beautiful, storybook adventure with two of our closest friends. Their work was so effortless and carefree."
– Dana and Matt
"Brian and Danica are upstanding professionals and delivered above and beyond quality work for our wedding day. It sounds superlative to say this but I really mean it -- BHP Imaging ended up being the BEST photographer we could have hoped for (and affordable too)."
– Beth and Bret Callaway
Brian Harrington grew up in Wyoming, where high peaks, meandering streams and vast plains formed his childhood playground and have since set the stage for much of his wedding photography. From stunning portraits to tear-jerking candids, Brian is personally invested in producing the images that will allow his clients to reminisce about their wedding day for years to come.
