I love quotes. I am working on having a full Rolodex full of scraped quote cards. I love reading them and being inspired by them. A funny one can bring me joy and I love incorporating them into my layouts and cards. Here is one I made for spring. I simply cut my main card stock the size of a large Rolodex card or you can work right off a Rolodex card. I attached the pattern paper, did my typeset in Printshop Delux. I tore some paper for under the bow and punched some holes and added my ribbon. My butterfly is from a program from "Big Little Tree" called "Wings and Flowers" . The butterfly gives it a 3-D effect which I just love. I inked my card with the words and added a line of sequins.

I love color and my work usually has a lot of color in it. There are a lot of people out there really scared of color or scared of using too much or too many colors at one time. I say be adventurous! As long as you have a balance it works!
This layout was actually a challenge from a group that I am in a sb.com. We were suppose to use one thing out of the trash and up to five non-scrappy items and some bling (which is shiny in the scrappy world). My item out of the trash was a little metal handle that came off a plastic box. It is on the end of my tag that holds the hidden journaling under my top picture. I have placed raffia on it and gave it a unique look. I actually used 2 things out of the trash. My other item was a yellow circle I punched out of a gift bag that was in my daughter's trashcan from her birthday. I used it to make the center of my flower on the far right in the blue area. My non-traditional items were 1. Red bread twisty - holding my blue button on the tag 2. Yellow raffia - (on tag handle and sewn at the bottom of page. 3. Washers (I painted and then covered with Stickles) the red & blue ones are hidden within the flowers and one red one in the center of the yellow flower I made in the blue area and then the green ones are under those hard little yellow flowers w/ blue centers on the bottom right. Aren't they so pretty! :O) kind of hard to see those are washers! 4. Blue Grip-it Liner - it is the small scallop at the top of the title and also the blue strip at the bottom right that the green washers/yellow flowers are on top of. 5. Those hard yellow flowers on my green washers and one green & yellow at the top of the mix/trail of flowers... they were from the bead section for little girls. 6. postage stamp from Malaysia, from my friend Irene (thanks Irene). 7. Sequins .

Here is a close up of the beginning of the flower trail. You can see the postage stamp I added for interest (thanks Irene) and this also shows you the blue and red washers hidden amongst the flowers for interest too. Don't be afraid to add things just for interest!

I just loved how these washers turned out. These are the green ones. I placed plastic yellow flowers on top of them (the yellow flowers I found in the the little girl bead section of Wal-mart). The washers I painted, then covered them with Stickles of the same color once they were dry. My green ones I actually used a more clear glittery color. Once they dried they were so pretty. I will be using more painted washer with Stickles in future layouts.

Here is a closer look at the flower where I made the center from the yellow gift bag. I just punched a large circle, crumpled the paper, cut the petals and then I inked it with Tim Holtz's fired brick. The red center in the washer I painted red, let dry and then cover with red Stickles... gotta love that Stickles if you haven't tried them, you should. I used a beautiful babbled brad and then placed sequins around the washer, then placed it on top of a soft flower. I really like the exotic look to the overall flower.

If you see something on pattern paper that you just love, cut it out and use it like a die cut. That is exactly what I did with this flourish. I could have stamped this, but because the color matched the title colors so well, I just cut it out and jazzed it up with a white signo uni-ball pen. I love to doodle and if you have never used one of these white pens you must have one, they are really opaque and hold their white color; I would be lost with out mine!

OK.. so what is in your trash that you can use? Here is that metal handle that was in my trash that was on top of a plastic box. I took it off and now it has a great look to it as the pull to my hidden journaling tag. Here I took some yellow raffia and looped it around the handle part and then I attached it to the tag. Is that a bread twisty I see there? Yep, it sure is... strung it through my button and twisted it right onto my handle... now how cute it that? :O) Don't be afraid to try something new or pull something out of the trash.... LOL.. you never know how well it might look on your next layout!
Posted by Nina at 3:06 PM 0 comments
Sewing is such the craze right now, so why not think outside the box. Here I have pre-punched some small holes across the bottom of my strip of paper and then I sewed with yellow raffia. It gave me just the look I wanted. I taped the ends on the back of the paper to hold them in place then I attached the paper to my layout.

Gil(sorce: Iceberg Slim Pimp, The story of my life)
Now I am interested in the meaning of a complete sentence. I understand every single word in it but I still cannot decode the whole sentence.
It reads:
I had told the runt to check her scratch past fourty slats into the toe of my tan Stetsons.
I told the small person (runt) to check (to put) her scratch (money) (could this be forty?) any amount more than forty dollars into my tan (a color) boot (a Stetson is a western style boot worn by cowboys and those who like to pretend that they are cowboys).
I told the young girl to leave any amount she made over forty dollars into the innermost part of my boot.
Slim lets her girl (the runt) out to the street to work as a prostitute. Previously he told her some basic rules and instructions about how she must handle the money she earns.
So what does the aforementioned sentence mean?

Rangers race to eighth win in nine games
Six steals help Texas pile on without an extra-base hit
ANAHEIM -- Manager Ron Washington didn't want to hear about "small ball."
"I call it playing baseball," Washington said. "You can call it small ball, but I call it winning baseball. We play winning baseball."
He also didn't want to talk about the 8-3 victory over the Angels on Tuesday night illustrating on how the Rangers have to win while Nelson Cruz serves his 50-game suspension.
"What you saw tonight, you would have seen the same thing if Nelson Cruz was in the lineup," Washington said. "Our game is what it is, and we're not going to change. We've got different guys in the lineup, but aggressiveness has always been a part of our ballclub and we're going to use it."
What people saw on Tuesday night is the Rangers score eight runs against the Angels without the benefit of an extra-base hit. Instead, they parlayed 12 singles, six stolen bases, a sacrifice bunt and a sacrifice fly into their eighth win in their last nine games. The Rangers also took advantage of three Angels wild pitches and a crucial error in the eighth inning that led to a game-breaking four-run rally.
This was the most runs the Rangers scored in a game without an extra-base hit since a 9-2 victory over the Royals on July 30, 1999. It was also only the eighth time in club history the Rangers have scored eight or more runs in a game without an extra-base hit. It's just the fourth time since 1978.
"We don't have to get an extra-base hit to win," third baseman Adrian Beltre said. "We got singles when we needed them and we got the fly ball when needed it. We're playing baseball. We're just trying to do whatever we need to do to score runs. We don't care how we win games."
The Rangers made up for the lack of extra-base hits with their baserunning. Leonys Martin had three stolen bases, Elvis Andrus had two and Craig Gentry had one against Angels catcher Chris Iannetta.
After the game, Angels manager Mike Scioscia expressed his displeasure, not at his catcher, but at his pitchers and their inability to hold runners.
"This is not on Chris at all," Scioscia said. "Chris is throwing the ball well. This is about the inability of some of our pitchers to make the adjustments they need to make. The reality of it is, if this is going to become Instructional League, we need to make some changes because guys up here should be able to do a better job."
The Rangers' offensive work allowed Yu Darvish to earn his 11th win despite allowing three runs on eight hits, including home runs to Kole Calhoun and Mike Trout leading off the first. He walked three and struck out six. The eight hits were a season high and he allowed 11 baserunners for the second time.
"It was probably the worst outing I've had this year," Darvish said. "But I was able to keep the game close and contribute to the win."
The Rangers manufactured two runs in the first against Angels starter Garrett Richards. Martin led off the inning with a single, stole second and went to third as Andrus reached on an infield single.
Ian Kinsler followed with a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Martin. With Beltre at the plate, Andrus advanced to second on a wild pitch and then stole third. Beltre left him there by popping out, but Richards threw another wild pitch with A.J. Pierzynski at the plate and Andrus scored.
Darvish gave the lead right back with the two home runs in the bottom of the first, and the Angels took a 3-2 lead in the fourth on a double by Erick Aybar and a single by J.B. Shuck. But the Rangers had only just begun to run.
"This game was a lot of fun," Andrus said. "As a team, it's more fun this way in a game like this rather than hitting a lot of extra-base hits. We take pride in being able to do this."
The Rangers pulled even in the fifth after Mitch Moreland and Jurickson Profar led off with singles. Engel Beltre bunted the runners to second and third, and Martin brought home Moreland with a high chopper to second.
The Rangers went ahead against reliever Kevin Jepsen in the eighth. Andrus led off with a single, stole second and went to third on Kinsler's ground out. Beltre brought him in with a ground-ball single to right. The Rangers then broke it open in the ninth against lefty reliever Nick Maronde and closer Ernesto Frieri.
Gentry, pinch-hitting for Engel Beltre with two outs in the ninth, walked and stole second. Martin hit a chopper to Calhoun, the Angels' first baseman who bobbled the ball momentarily. That was just enough for Martin to beat the flip to Maronde as Gentry raced home from second.
"Two-out, nobody on in the ninth, they blow it open with a PFP play that we mess up and those guys took advantage of us not really giving Chris a chance to throw," Scioscia said, referring to pitchers' fielding practice.
After Martin stole second, the Rangers followed with four straight singles from Andrus, Kinsler, Beltre and Pierzynski that brought home three more runs.
Afterward, Washington smiled when asked if this was one of his favorite games played by the Rangers.
"Very much so," Washington said. "It was quite exciting."

OXFORD — Should the Clear Creek Amana School District (CCA) continue to spend money from a one-cent sales tax? Voters will decide in a Feb. 3 special election.
Voters approved a Revenue Purpose Statement in 2007 authorizing the district to use funds raised from a one-cent sales tax for infrastructure improvements throughout the district.
DES MOINES– On Monday morning, January 12th, I was sworn in as your State Representative for the next two years. I am deeply grateful to have this opportunity to serve, and I am humbled by the challenges currently facing Iowa and the new General Assembly. In this space, over the next two years, I will attempt to update you as to my activities as your State Representative, my legislative goals, and the week-to-week developments in the Iowa Legislature and State Government.
NORTH LIBERTY– The North Central Knights eighth-grade boys basketball team completed the season with a 9-0 record. They were also undefeated as seventh-graders so they completed junior high with an overall record of 18-0.
IOWA CITY– Nine straight losses to the Cowboys doesn't sound right so the Hawkeyes, wrestling without two starters, won six matches and righted the wrong with a 20-13 win over the Cowboys.
I don't know if head coach Tom Brands will be happy with four matches decided by less than three points but there is still time to improve.
I suppose you have to give Oklahoma State a little credit for keeping it close.
They used a smaller mat, which Mark Ironside (radio color man for Iowa) called a "junior high mat".
IOWA CITY– There has been some sad news from the women's basketball team, as Nicole VanderPol is calling it a career.
The 6-2 senior has been fighting injuries for most of her time at Iowa and the latest, poor circulation in her leg which gives her numbness, has made her decision to finish the season on the bench supporting her teammates.
I talked to her at the hospital when the women's basketball team visited the children and she said she was done playing.
IOWA CITY– Sunday was a great day for the Hawkeyes to open up the offense, make a close game a blowout and win their 11th game of the season, third in a row, against Northwestern, 74-46.
You have to start with Kachine Alexander. If she doesn't get some all-conference votes I want a recount.
The 5-9 junior had the first triple-double in eight years (all Big Ten Cara Consuegra was the last one in 2001) scoring 10 points, with 11 rebounds and 12 assists.
IOWA CITY– For the second week in a row, the Hawkeye men played a Big Ten game on Sunday morning and for the second Sunday in a row the Hawkeyes got smoked, this time by Purdue, 75-53.
The Boilermakers were picked to have one of the top teams in the Big Ten and they proved it with great outside shooting (10-15 from 3-point), great passing (19 assists) and tough defense (19 turnovers for Iowa).
One of the only bright spots was the play of seldom-used big man David Palmer.
Ginny "GiGi" York, 51, died unexpectedly but peacefully on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2009 at her home. A luncheon to celebrate Ginny's life was held Tuesday, Jan. 13 at Ms. Susan's Catering, 1215 Jordan Street in North Liberty. Memorial contributions may be directed to The Iowa City Animal Shelter. Lensing Funeral and Cremation Services, 605 Kirkwood Avenue, Iowa City, is handling the arrangements.
Bonnie R. Williams, 73, of Marion, died Jan. 13, 2009, at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City after a short illness. Funeral services were held Friday, Jan. 16, at Cedar Memorial Park Chapel of Memories in Cedar Rapids. Visitation was held Jan. 15 at Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home in Cedar Rapids. Private inurnment was at Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery, Meditation Wall.
Carol M. Strank, 62, of 3161 Sandy Beach Rd. NE, Solon, died Sunday, Jan. 18, 2009, at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics following a lengthy illness.
Funeral Services are pending at Lensing Funeral and Cremation Service,

However, I never stopped trying. Who knows how much pounds of almond flour/meal and powdered sugar I sieved. But, it was not in vain. I learned so much from all these failures, and I want to share my tips and tricks with you.
Today, I make perfect macarons every time. Not a single crack in any batch. Every batch has feet. They are perfect.
When I first started, I did use recipes that you find everywhere online. The ones that sift powdered sugar and almond flour together. The ones that get folded into stiffed egg whites. They failed me. I switched to recipes that used meringue powder. I even did Pierre Herme's recipe, that require boiling sugar and water to a syrup stage. I did everything.
The recipe that folds almond meal/icing sugar into stiffed egg whites never worked for me. I tried them a thousand times. What irony - they are now my favorite macaron recipe.
The meringue powder recipe was the first success for me. However, those produced hollows for me. Hollows are the air pocket gap between the shell and chewy center.
The recipe that requires the sugar syrup also worked. They also produced hollows and lopsided feet on the macarons. One side had more "feet" than the other. I had perfect ones in some batches. But I disliked making syrup. It was one step I wanted to remove. Making macarons is already tedious enough, I don't want to add another step that could go wrong.

As part of the Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion Program, the U.S. conducted extensive research showing that nuclear fission could power an aircraft. The research involved a series of Heat Transfer Reactor Experiments (HTREs), which tested if different types of jet engines could be run by nuclear power. In 1955, however, the project was cancelled, and a safe, operational prototype aircraft was never developed. In this 1988 photo, the two HTRE reactors are shown in transport to Idaho National Laboratory's EBR-1 visitor center, where they remain today.

What do butterflies and solar cell research have in common? Both have been developing tiny crystals that selectively reflect colors. Over millions of years of evolution, butterfly wings have developed the tiny crystal nanostructures that give butterflies their vivid colors. At Argonne National Laboratory, scientists are working to manufacture these crystals, which could one day be used to create "greener" and more efficient paints, fiber optics and solar cells. In this photo, the iridescent scales of an emerald-patched Cattleheart butterfly are magnified 20 times to highlight the crystals that selectively reflect green colors.

The VULCAN diffractometer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) was built to take measurements of engineered components like a jet engine turbine blade or the frame of a car. VULCAN can "see" inside the material and make three dimensional maps of the distance between atoms in critical sections. Scientists can use these maps to determine if the atoms are being squeezed together or pulled apart — signs of stress in the materials. This photo highlights the optical fibers of a VULCAN detector module. The fibers transmit light signals created by captured neutrons to photo multiplier tubes where the signals are amplified and then sent into a data acquisition system.

The James Webb Space Telescope is a large, infrared-optimized telescope that is anticipated to launch in 2018. The spider-like sheets and tubes of wires you see here are the Optical Telescope Simulator (OSIM) for the telescope itself. OSIM will help scientists prepare the Webb telescope for flight by generating a beam of light that the telescope optics will feed into its actual flight instruments. In this photo, engineers have blanketed the OSIM with special insulating material to help control its temperature while it goes into the deep freeze testing of the Space Environment Simulator at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The simulator will mimic the environment that the telescope will experience in operational orbit, more than 1 million miles from Earth.

While they might look like drops of water or soap bubbles, these colorful figures are actually photomultiplier tubes that line the walls of the Daya Bay neutrino detector. Neutrinos and antineutrinos are neutral particles produced in nuclear beta decay when neutrons turn into protons. This experiment aims to measure the final unknown mixing angle that describes how neutrinos oscillate. The tubes are designed to amplify and record the faint flashes of light that signify an antineutrino interaction. Lawrence Berkeley and Brookhaven National Labs and a number of physicists at U.S. universities played leading roles in the Daya Bay experiment, from designing the detectors all the way through to analyzing the data gathered.

For 35 years, the Energy Department has pursued an all-of-the-above energy strategy — and the critical work done at the National Labs has helped put America at the top of the global clean energy race. This photo from 1979 shows a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory employee opening the world's heaviest hinged door, which was eight feet thick, nearly twelve feet wide, and weighed 97,000 pounds. A special bearing in the hinge allowed a single person to open or close the concrete-filled door, which was used to shield the Rotating Target Neutron Source-II (RTNS-II) -- the world's most intense source of continuous fusion neutrons. Scientists from around the world used it to study the properties of metals and other materials that could be used deep inside fusion power plants envisioned for the next century.

Let's play a game of "what if." What if you got an e-mail or text message warning that a gang initiation would happen at a local Wal-Mart this week and it involved killing people?
a) Forward it to your friends and family in the area. b) Call the police. c) Realize it was a hoax and hit delete.
If you chose a or b, you're not alone.
In the last few weeks, this bogus warning about gang violence at Wal-Mart stores has spread like wildfire. Different versions have different targets: black women, white women, children or men.
It sounds crazy, but this mass e-mailing is being taken seriously by a lot of people. Police departments across country have been flooded with 911 calls. Many have issued news releases telling people these gang alerts are hoaxes.
"This thing was starting to get way out of hand," says Deputy Scott Wilson, public information officer for sheriff's department in Kitsap County, Wash. "Clearly people believed this." Some of the callers demanded a deputy come to their house. Others wanted to make sure the sheriff's department knew about the threat, so officers could stake out the stores.
According to the web site Snopes.com, a trusted authority on urban legends, the first e-mail about this gang initiation rite surfaced in July of 2005. It has come back in various forms over the years. For some unknown reason, it picked up steam again.
The fear factor
A lot of e-rumors play on people's fears. They warn that something bad is about to happen: the government is going to tax every e-mail; wireless companies are about to release everyone's cell phone numbers; carjackers are placing flyers on windshields to trick drivers into getting out of their vehicles. All of these "warnings" have been circulating for years. All of them are untrue.
"Even if people are skeptical about an e-mail, they will forward the ones that involve a threat or warning of danger "says Rich Buhler, founder of the web site . In many cases they'll put a note at the top that says something like, "I don't know if this is true but just in case …"
E-Rumors never die
"One of the most remarkable things is the persistence of these e-mail hoaxes," notes Steve Fox, editorial director at PC World. "It can disappear for years and then come back in a slightly mutated form."
Fox notes that one of the original e-mail hoaxes, Bill Gates will pay you to forward an e-mail, is still making the rounds. For 10 years now, news reports have explained that this message is bogus. And yet, it will not die.
How do these things get started? No one knows for sure. Sid Shuman, senior editor at GamePro magazine, has followed urban legends for more than a decade. He says there are "a lot of jokesters on the Internet" who love to fool people with their creations.
TruthOrFiction.com's Buhler agrees that some e-rumors are deliberate hoaxes. But he believes the majority of them are started with sincere intentions. The writer just had "limited or wrong information," he says.
Why do so many people forward these mass e-mail messages?
Gullibility has a lot to do with it. But as Shuman points out, "Some of the craziest ones are true."
According snopes.com the following are all real.
- Sesame Street character Bert appears on posters carried by supporters of Osama Bin Laden.
- Actor James Woods saw some of the 9-11 hijackers on a flight prior to the attack. They were making a trial run. His report to authorities was ignored.
Every week new e-mail hoaxes join the growing list of urban legends. Here are just a few of those recently shot down by Snopes.com:
Benefits for illegal aliens?
- Hoax: The U.S. Senate voted to give Social Security benefits to illegal aliens. You need to sign this petition to President Obama and forward it to everyone on your e-mail list.
- Fact: There was no such vote. Snopes points out that this petition began circulating in mid-2006 with people being asked to contact President Bush.
AIG-Congress connection?
- Hoax: Congress approved the bailout of AIG because the company insures the lawmakers' pension trust.
- Fact: The billions of dollars loaned to AIG came from the Federal Reserve. It was not approved by Congress. AIG told Snopes it does not insure the U.S. Congressional Trust. No private company does.
The bottom line
Many of these e-mail rumors are just silly. Others, if taken seriously, make people worry for no reason. Some actually provide dangerous advice that can get someone hurt. There's an e-mail that's been going around for years that says if someone tries to rob you at an ATM punch in your PIN backwards and that will summon the police. This is bogus.
Buhler of TruthOrFiction.com wants people to realize the power of the Internet. "When they click that mouse to send an e-mail they've become a publisher on the largest publishing machine that has ever existed," he says. "Even though they may only send it to 12 friends, they never know if those 12 friends will send it to their friends. It can become a multi-million circulated e-mail without them ever knowing it."
Before you forward a mass e-mail, check it out with a reliable source such as Snopes.com, or UrbanLegends.com.
These sites are simple to use and you can find out if the message is true or false in just seconds. Most have in-depth articles that explain the background of the myth. Please do this as a courtesy to everyone in your address book. If it's not true you don't want to forward it.
Note: Some of these hoax e-mails now say the sender verified the information with Snopes. Don't believe it. Check yourself. Trust no one. Verify.

Since the early 70's when Taco Tico was first introduced to Lexington, our goal was to bring our customers the finest and freshest of products, the best tasting food, and we wanted to install that "hometown feeling" in each of our restaurant's. Over the last several years, a couple things have ALWAYS remained the same, that "HOMETOWN FEELING", the "ORIGINAL TASTE" and the "QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE" that everyone loves. Matter of fact, "IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TASTE," has remained our motto and that will never change.
Now some 40 years later, Lexington's Taco Tico has become a staple in many people's lives. Let's keep it that way! People every day tell us about stories and memories they had and we want those stories and memories to continue to build and GROW. Our goal every day is to make sure that we continue to produce the best quality food with the freshest ingredients, create the best customer service of any restaurant EVER, and keep the same ORIGINAL TASTE we have always grown to LOVE throughout the past. There is nothing we want more than for every customer whom walks through our door to be greeted with a smile and when they leave know that they could not have had a better customer experience anywhere else.

A (more visible) general MOCs section might very well bring new, talented users to the site: But unless they convert to building castle because they joined - and I think very, very few will - what's the point? CC isn't a general lego site.
I've always considered posting non-castle creations in the General LEGO section something that we, the existing members, do to show other members "what else" we do with lego - not a showcase for people who aren't already castle-building forum members.

HI - my accord 90 ( uk model ) June 1990 - has the headlights as twin. ie one main H4 472 dim dip bulb - plus an extra main beam 60 watt ( which automatically comes on when on full beam ) ie dip beam - outer light dip - main beam - outer light main beam - and - extra main beam 60w
I have checked many versions of the workshop manual - and none of them give a wiring diagram for these lights - or show the unit that has two bulbs ?
Nothing is wrong as such - just I had a dodgey plug connetor I would like to change out - so started looking at wiring diagrams ?
The full 91 - 93 manual shows a headlight with one dim dip beam - and 93 is different again.
Is this a hangover from the 89 - that was ditched in 91. Odd ?
Any info much appreciated.
OK - mystery partly solved. I have only two wires to the H4 472 dim dip bulb - the Honda fitted plug is blank on the third lug ( right High ) -ie - I have Black ( -12v ) and Red/green stripe wires only. This is as the drawing for dim - and fits the H4 472 pinout ( ie neg left - high right - dim top )
So basically this set up is using H4 472 bulb - but only on dim - high beam is on the other bulb.
This clears my confusion - ie I thought when I was on main that - the dim dip bulb was going to main beam and the other was coming on.
It seems when on main beam - outer bulb stays on dip - plus the main beam as well - ie twin on main beam. The high beam on the H4 472 bulb is not used ? This figures - as the old blown bulb I changed was oddly pristine on one element - which at the time seemed odd.
I still have not seen a wiring diagram that shows this set up - and maybe it was used very briefly - so didn't get in the manual ? Certainly - the 91 shop manual show a headlight unit with one dim dip bulb only with three wires ?
I have two bulb in each unit - each with their rubber boots etc - each with two wires. I presume the other would correspond to the wiring diagram for main - ie one would be the relay switched neutral - and the other presumeably a spur off off the dim dip red/green +12v feed. ie - the other main bulb is live when dip is on - but needs the relay switched neutral circuit to fire on.
I was only changing a bulb - but like to know how things work ! Its confising to see a three pin bulb with only two wires to it !
Looking again at this 90 -93 wiring diagram - it seems to match my two bulb light set up - ie two bulbs each with two wires. How can this wiring match a single three wire bulb as is depicted in the illustrated headlight cluster of the same manual ? So its still a mystery to me ?

Knowing how the massive ice sheets atop Antarctica and Greenland work is key to predicting how global warming could raise sea levels and flood coastal cities. But a new study upends what scientists thought they knew. It turns out it's not just ancient snow that makes up the ice sheets, but water deep under the sheets also thaws and refreezes over time.
To put it in non-scientific terms, lead scientist Robin Bell told msnbc.com, the study redefines "how squishy" the base of ice sheets can be. "This matters to how fast ice will flow and how fast ice sheets will change."
"It also means that ice sheet models are not correct," she said, comparing it to "trying to figure out how a car will drive but forgetting to add the tires. The performance will be very different if you are driving on the rims."
Reporting in this week's issue of the peer-reviewed journal Science, Bell and her team described how ice-penetrating radar peeled back two miles of ice a million years old in the center of Antarctica.
The images show that refrozen ice makes up 24 percent of an area known as Dome A, a 13,800-foot-high plateau roughly the size of California. Much of the sheet and refrozen ice lies atop an underground mountain range.
Ice from that area "drains into all the major ice shelves of Antarctica," the researchers wrote in their study. "Processes occurring in the Dome A region have the potential to affect the majority of East Antarctica."
While the field work was far inland, Bell believes the same will hold true along the edges of the icy continent. "We believe there is this ice rimming the ice sheets at the edge so this will impact how they will change," said Bell, a geophysicist at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.
The Antarctic ice sheets, some of it more than two miles thick, holds enough fresh water to raise ocean levels 200 feet if it all melted. That's not expected but even if a small part did melt it could threaten millions of coastal dwellers worldwide.
Given already known melt in Greenland and parts of Antarctica, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change earlier estimated sea levels will rise between seven inches and two feet this century.
Bell said the study did not look at what kind of impact the refreezing would have. "We are not sure if it will make them go faster or slower," she said of ice sheets flowing into the ocean and thus raising sea levels.
How can water be sandwiched between the ice sheet and the continent?
"Deeply buried ice may melt because overlying layers insulate the base, hemming in heat created there by friction, or radiating naturally from underlying rock," Columbia University said in a statement along with the study. "When the ice melts, refreezing may take place in multiple ways ... If it collects along mountain ridges and heads of valleys, where the ice is thinner, low temperatures penetrating from the surface may refreeze it. In other cases, water gets squeezed up valley walls, and changes pressure rapidly.
"In the depths, water remains liquid even when it is below the normal freezing point, due to pressure exerted on it. But once moved up to an area of less pressure, such supercooled water can freeze almost instantly."
Ted Scambos, lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., told msnbc.com that the finding was "unexpected in its scope" but he also felt it would be limited to the interior of East Antarctica, not the more vulnerable coastlines.
"I think it is an astounding discovery," added Scambos, who was not involved with the study. "Who knew that a buried mountain range would let you grow the ice sheet from underneath?"
Bell said that "the important message" is that while ice experts have long known of underground water systems "greasing the bottom of ice sheets," and thus potentially undermining them, "we never considered that they might be important for the actual structure of the ice sheet."

The problem Perversity of Japanese Culture
Jezebel has a thought provoking article on the CNN and Rapelay cultural wars of pornographic and violent video games: In Defense Of Hentai: Is Rapelay Really Dangerous?. The most fascinating part for me is the claim that Japanese sexuality is so alien to Western morality, due to its heavily entrenched patriarchal roots, it is impossible to judge accurately, quoting from Kelleher's article:
Perhaps more interesting was the follow-up article, written to address the question: Why would Rapelay thrive in Japan [CNN report]? Kyung Lah interviews Kyle Cleveland, an associate professor of sociology who teaches at Temple University in Japan. Cleveland argues that Rapelay is the product of a historically patriarchal society. "It's no surprise that this is expressed in mass media and pornography. The moral entrepreneurs that are scrutinizing Japan have both a feminist history and cultural tradition that is simply not in play in Japan." He continues, "Japan has ways of expressing sexuality that are practically indecipherable to a Western sensibility but that are so normalized in Japan that the Japanese don't often understand or acknowledge the critiques that are made against them."
Once again we find ourselves on the curious ground of seeking universal principles on which to apply our distinct morality, no doubt a necessary precursor to the extension of our cultural expectations to subjectivities that lie outside of our scope and domain. The claim here is the there is a decipherability limit – I suspect in the manner in which affects are to be organized – when moral limits are placed on deep current flows within traditional Asian societies.
Katy Kelleher does a more than reasonable job in giving us the landscape of the debate, not to mention calling our attention to conglomerate vs. blog/artist ethical discourse (CNN vs. Takeshi/Tsurupeta).
The otaku blog tsurupeta calls the CNN article "a cultural-essentialist explanation of why Japan is so perverted" and argues that reporters for CNN were trying to "stir up gratuitous controversy." However, this criticism comes from the opposite end of the spectrum. Just to put things in context, it is interesting to note that Tsurupeta is a blog that places "particular emphasis on the central icon of contemporary Japanese visual culture that is the cute young girl." There is also an explanation of the name:
It is a Japanese portmanteau word combining two onomatopoeias: tsurutsuru [つるつる], which means smooth, polished, especially hairless; and petan [ぺたん], which means flat, devoid of bumps and holes. So tsurupeta [つるぺた] describes a female body that's flat above and smooth below.
But Tsurupeta only translated the open letter, which was originally written in Japanese by a mangaka (cartoonist). Nogami Takeshi takes CNN to task for trying to "stir up fear, prejudice and misunderstanding" with their take on Rapelay and hentai in general. He defends Japan against charges of sexism:
Men and women are equals in politics and in the law. Your society and ours are no different there. Moreover, the crime rate statistics for both general crime and sex crime in Japan are, with all due respect, several times lower than in the United States. Did you, for instance, fear for your safety while walking the streets of Akihabara, or Ikebukuro (holy ground of hentai books for women)? They're probably many times safer than the streets of New York, let alone those of the suburban housing districts around. (And guns are illegal, too.) Furthermore, in our Akihabara and Ikebukuro, there is no persecution of men or women alike, or of sexual minorities like homosexuals. We all live together in peace, expressing ourselves freely.
It also goes without saying that human trafficking and violence against women are serious crimes in Japan too. As a Japanese citizen, I am deeply offended by the insulting implications of that so-called expert who associates Japanese people at large with heinous criminals.
Unfortunately Kelleher, while grasping all the diverse strands of this question in hand – the need for CNN to trade on the normatives of behavior as a mark of their reporting honesty, the possibility that criticism of a cultural sexuality is indecipherable, the question of what is radical in the expression of tsurupeta interests as a perverse artform – Kelleher then drops all the threads so gathered and falls back upon the Western staid questioning of the "underlying problem", ultimately a self-question: why does this turn me on?
We may not be able to control everything we find sexually exciting, but through looking at the underlying causes, we can at least better understand sexuality and the relationship between our inner world and the real world. Although fantasies are not inherently dangerous, they can reflect a social trend that is far more threatening.
It is an implication that the Japanese hentai perversity phenomena is the result of, and more importantly can be reduced to, the inadequate self-policing of what one is inclined to feel, the inability to suitably place our felt things within the grid of expectation and proportion. One can admit that within our society indeed this is the regular mode of ethical normativity, where it is fought – often with more heat than light, more blood than bone – but when exported to other worlds it is a mistake to assume it as fundamental for either communication or ethical agreement.
To be abstract about it, I suspect that the smooth and the flat of hentai has something to do with the acceleration of affects across gender fields, the way in which surface becomes the signifier of the possibility of reaching certain timed thresholds, which would mean that "why" you are turned on by this, as a psychological investigation, is less important culturally than is what is being accelerated and how, through the intensity and smoothness.
I think indeed there are very important questions raised by the extremes of Rapelay, the practice of violenced preditory excitation against social kinds and types, room for outrage and critical social analysis, but in such cases but when we wade into those wider waters there is ever the temptation to essentialize and deeply misread what is being done. The fault is to return to what is the most easy and basic to think, that these people are simply feeling what is not appropriate to feel, enjoying what should not be enjoyed, putting a limit on what we can see when we look at the problem. Are the Japanese just more perverse than all others in the commercial world? The very sense of the question reveals the perversity in our own moral instinct.

A visit to 1881 Heritage will transport you to Victorian-era Hong Kong. From the 1880s to 1996, this was the headquarters of the Hong Kong Marine Police. Several buildings and artefacts of historical interest have been preserved and restored, and the site now features a shopping mall, a heritage hotel and an exhibition hall.
In a city that preserves its traditions while looking firmly to the future, 1881 Heritage fittingly combines historical attractions with more contemporary pursuits. Visitors can shop for international fashion brands and enjoy fine dining on the grounds where pirates were incarcerated and a daily signal was watched by ships in the harbour as they prepared for long and treacherous trans-global journeys. Tradition and innovation, past and present, 1881 Heritage is a real Hong Kong experience.
At the north end of 1881 Heritage stands the main building of the Former Marine Police Headquarters. It was built in the early 1880s in a combination of Victorian colonial and neo-classical architectural designs. Inside are the cells where pirates and smugglers were held. An elevated ground floor kept the building tolerably cool in the pre-air-conditioning era. The coops on the walls of the building's courtyard were for keeping pigeons, which were used to carry messages to ships in the harbour before radio became the main form of ship-to-shore communication.
Dropping of the Time Ball
The site contains a number of Declared Monuments, the most interesting of which is the Time Ball Tower. From 1885 to 1907, this tower provided a vital service to ships in Victoria Harbour. Many of these vessels had arrived in Hong Kong after long voyages, during which their chronometers would have lost accuracy. A one-minute error could result in a ship becoming lost, with dire consequences for the crew. The ball mounted on the pole in this tower was raised manually every morning and, with data provided by the Hong Kong Observatory, it was dropped at 1pm every day. The tower was in full view of the harbour and the dropping of the ball allowed ships to recalibrate their chronometers to an accuracy of one-tenth of a second, before they departed Hong Kong for other parts of the world.
Other features of note are the Former Fire Station and Stable Blocks.

Late last year, the people over at Manga Entertainment started putting out a series of animated shorts where they take a clip of an anime and replace the characters' heads (and sometimes bodies) with those of cats.
The latest of these "ANIMEOW" videos uses footage from homosexual love story anime Junjo Romantica—and really makes for an awkwardly hilarious watch. I must say I never expected to see grumpy cat feel up some guy.
The other two ANIMEOW videos add cats to a scene from Street Fighter Alpha and Dirty Pair, respectively. The Dirty Pair one with its cat with a human head is equal parts funny and nightmare-inducing—and easily my favorite of the bunch.
Check out all of Manga Entertainment's videos at its YouTube page.

UPDATE MARCH 1, 2010: New article with detailed information about the organ.
I have recently been hired as "organ consultant" - together with the organist of Jørlunde Church, Gunnar Svensson - for the construction of a new pipe organ. My job is to design the "list of stops" (disposition) and the tonal character of the organ, both overall and for the individual voices.
It all began when Gunnar Svensson asked me if I would like to join a competition held for the best disposition for a new pipe organ in Jørlunde Church. He had invited several organists (with special technical as well as musical knowledge of the instrument) to submit a proposition. I'm happy to say that he chose my suggestion A week later the Church Council asigned me as official organ consultant.
Jørlunde Church (Sjælland, Denmark) was build around the year 1100 and is world renowned for it's amazingly well-kept medieval church wall paintings (chalk paintings) as seen here:
Church Wall Painting in Jørlunde Church, anno 1150 (bad photographic quality)
It is expected that the organ will completed sometime late this year (2005) or in the beginning of 2006. The architects Johannes and Inger Exner (whom - amongst countless other projects - was responsible for the re-contruction of the castle Koldinghus) has been assigned the job of drawing the organ facade and housing, but an organ-builder has not yet been chosen. Gunnar Svensson and I has had some very interesting meetings with the Exners.
It has been decided that the new organ must be of the highest quality, using the finest craftsmanship and materials. The total budget will be more than 450,000$ (US) but the result will be one of excellence and the instrument will be constructed to last at least 300 years - possibly much longer.
I cannot yet post the final stop list, because there may still be minor changes, but I will post it as soon as the construction has begun.
For now I can tell that the current (and probably final) disposition consists of 19 voices, 24 ranks and 1292 pipes ranging in height from a few centimeters to five meters (approx .16 feet). The organ will have two manuals (Great Organ + Swell Organ) and pedal.
I'm looking very much forward to the completion of this project and will keep your posted on the progress!

Israeli military spokesperson Lt. Peter Lerner confirmed via Twitter that Israeli military aircraft had struck "four terrorist locations in southern Gaza," in response to rockets fired by armed factions based in the Gaza stip.
Residents of Gaza told Reuters that Israeli air force strikes targeted Islamic Jihad's training locations, which are developed on or near former Israeli settlements. The settlements were evacuated in 2006 when Israel withdrew from Gaza. Lt. Lerner charged on CNN yesterday that Hamas was ultimately responsible for all attacks originating from the strip. No casualties have been reported in Ashdod, Gaza.
"What happened yesterday (the rocket fire) goes against the interests of the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip and against our national interests," an unidentified Hamas source told Ynet. "We consider the rocket fire to be a dangerous thing."
Ynet reported that Hamas has arrested the militants responsible for the rocket attacks. Israeli media has reported speculatively that infighting between members of the Islamic Jihad movement may have precipitated the rocket fire which led to Israel's airstrikes.
Rockets have been fired from Gaza three times since the end a cease fire was agreed following Israel's 50 day war in Gaza last summer dubbed Operation Protective Edge. More than 2,000 Palestinians died during the war, most of them civilians, including 490 children according to Palestinian health officials. Seventy-three died on the Israeli side; a majority were Israeli soldiers.
The UN Special Coordinator (UNSCO) issued a report Monday saying the ceasefire that ended the latest war remains "perilously fragile," Ma'an News Agency reported.
Al Jazeera reports that two motors have been fired from Gaza since August's cease fire, and that Israel's retaliatory airstrikes Wednesday are the third since end of its Operation Protective Edge.
"It would be best for Hamas to work to rein in any attempt to fire at Israel or any provocation against Israel, otherwise we will have to act with greater power," Israeli Defense Minister told Ya'alon told Ynet.

Two Boots, Opening on the Upper East Side
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they would do—if I didn't live on the Upper East Side. As it stands now, I have to take a $15 cab for food that's popular, trendy, or otherwise "cool." So when I saw the windows of late-night, across-the-street-from-Dorrian's pizza place Mimma's all whitewashed, I was sad—for a minute.
Until I noticed what would fill its shoes: Two Boots, so named because the "Cajun-Italian" pizza combines flavors of Louisiana and Italy (the two boots).
As an Upper East Sider, I usually feel left out, but the neighborhood is finally experiencing a comeback. The sign on the 84th Street and Second Avenue entrance proclaims it wants us, the "friends and neighbors," to contribute photos to be eternally resin-ed into the pizzeria's counters, and ingratiate themselves with the community. Two Boots was made for walking (it is a "neighborhood" pizza place, after all), and soon we on the Upper East Side, can walk there.

Lately I've been thinking about forgiveness. More specifically learning how to love others in forgiveness even when the don't "deserve" it. As I've been thinking about this I was reminded of a song that I really loved a little while ago and I wanted to share it with all of you…
It's the hardest thing to give away and the last thing on your mind today. It always goes to those that don't deserve.
It's the opposite of how you feel when the pain they caused is just too real, it takes everything you have just to say the word… Forgiveness.
It flies in the face of all your pride. It moves away the mad inside. It's always anger's own worst enemy. Even when the jury and the judge say you gotta right to hold a grudge, it's the whisper in your ear saying 'Set It Free'… Forgiveness.
Show me how to love the unlovable. Show me how to reach the unreachable. Help me now to do the impossible… Forgiveness.
It'll clear the bitterness away. It can even set a prisoner free. There is no end to what it's power can do. So, let it go and be amazed by what you see through eyes of grace. The prisoner that it really frees is you… Forgiveness.
Show me how to love the unlovable. Show me how to reach the unreachable. Help me now to do the impossible… Forgiveness.
I want to finally set it free. So show me how to see what Your mercy sees. Help me now to give what You gave to me…Forgiveness.
You should definitley watch this video as it has a powerful message talking about the reason behind writing this song…

UConn men hold off Boston College
NEW YORK >> Ryan Boatright made two big free throws with 7.9 seconds to play and blocked a 3-point attempt at the buzzer, and No. 18 Connecticut beat Boston College 72-70 on Thursday night in the semifinals of the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project.
DeAndre Daniels had 23 points to lead the Huskies (5-0), who play the winner of the Washington-Indiana game for the title on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
Shabazz Napier had 20 points for Connecticut, which led most of the way. He made his first seven free throws but missed the second of two with 30 seconds left, leaving the Huskies ahead 69-67.
Olivier Hanlan of Boston College (1-4) missed a drive and the 6-foot Boatwright was fouled grabbing the rebound. He made two free throws with 7.9 seconds remaining to make it 71-67.
Hanlan, who finished with 19 points, hit a 3 with 3 seconds left to make it a one-point game.
Napier made one of two free throws with 2.3 seconds to go, and the Eagles' chance to win ended when Boatright blocked Lonnie Jackson's 3-point attempt a few feet inside midcourt.
Both teams had impressive games at the free throw line. The Huskies were 25 of 29, with Napier going 8 for 10. Ryan Anderson, who had 22 points, was 11 of 11 as the Eagles finished 24 of 25 from the line.
Boston College spread the court against the taller Huskies and went 8 of 25 on 3-pointers. The Huskies were 3 of 14 from beyond the arc but they committed just three turnovers.
The last time these schools met, both were members of the Big East Conference. Now, neither is.
Boston College beat Connecticut 75-70 on Jan. 5, 2005. Boston College left for the Atlantic Coast Conference after that season. Connecticut stayed as one of the powers of the Big East until this season when it left for the fledgling American Athletic Conference after the Big East split between its basketball-only and football schools.
