Top 20 Songs: Week of February 3-9, 2013
Volbeat's 'Heaven Nor Hell' had a brief two-week stay at No. 1, but the band is giving up the top spot on this week's Loudwire Top 20 Countdown to All That Remain's steadily climbing single, 'Stand Up.' After hovering in the Top 5 for the last few weeks, the track finally reached the apex of the countdown, where it hopes to remain for a little while.
Rounding out the Top 5 this week are Deftones' 'Tempest,' which climbs a notch from No. 4 to No. 3; former No. 1 Avenged Sevenfold, whose 'Carry On' flip flops with Deftones to fall back from No. 3 to No 4; and Alice in Chains, who crack the Top 5 at No. 5 with 'Hollow.'
There was some major movement in this week's Top 20 Countdown. The biggest riser of the week was Halestorm's 'Freak Like Me,' which leapt up from No. 13 to No. 9. Meanwhile, Chevelle's 'Same Old Trip' took a fairly big tumble, dropping eight notches from No. 5 to No. 13 this week.
As for new songs, Hollywood Undead liven things up with their latest single 'We Are,' which jumps into the countdown at No. 18. In the process of making their debut, the track knocked out former chart-topper 'Absolute Zero' from Stone Sour.

text: Buddha, (also known as Siddhārtha Gautama) was born around 566 BC to a King and Queen of a small village in Nepal. At 29 years of age, having never left the kingdom Buddha realized that wealth and materialistic possessions did not guarantee happiness - so he set out to explore different philosophies, and ways of life outside his royal compound. After six years of exploration, self-examination, and meditation, Buddha went on to discover the "Four Noble Truths" which are the basic teachings of Buddhism. Although immortalizing the Buddha as a tattoo has long been discussed, his peaceful and serene image lends itself well to those who appreciate religious art.

Carl C. Icahn, the Chairman of Icahn Enterprises and the holder of approximately 93% of the outstanding depositary units, has indicated that it is his present intention to elect to receive the increase in the Company's cash distribution in additional depositary units for the foreseeable future.Mr. Icahn stated: "I'm very proud of the performance of Icahn Enterprises. Since Icahn Enterprises adopted an activist philosophy, the trading price of Icahn Enterprises' depositary units has risen from $7.625 on December 31, 1999 to $59.95 on February 8, 2013, the last trading day before this announcement – an increase of approximately 817%, which translates to an annualized return of approximately 18% for those who owned the stock through that period (including reinvestment of distributions into additional depositary units and taking into account in-kind distributions of depositary units). Comparatively, the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial and Russell 2000 indices increased only approximately 32%, 66% and 116%, respectively, over the same period, which translates to an annualized return of only approximately 2%, 4% and 6%, respectively (including reinvestment of distributions into those indices). Over the last few years, we have had substantial earnings and cash flow. We believe that our strategy will continue to produce strong results in 2013 and into the future, and that belief is reflected in the Board's decision to increase our quarterly distribution. We believe that the strong cash flow and asset coverage from our operating subsidiaries will allow us to maintain a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity. We have provided unit holders with a choice between taking distributions in cash or in additional depositary units so that those who wish to increase their participation in the future of our business may do so." Additional information regarding the distribution election will be mailed to depositary unit holders of record as soon as practicable after February 21, 2013. A properly completed distribution election form must be received by Icahn Enterprises' transfer agent prior to 5:00 PM EST on March 14, 2013. For shares held through a bank, broker or nominee, questions should be directed to such bank, broker or nominee. Registered depositary unit holders with questions regarding the dividend should contact Registrar and Transfer Company at (800) 368-5948 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Icahn Enterprises L.P. (Nasdaq:IEP), a master limited partnership, is a diversified holding company engaged in nine primary business segments: Investment, Automotive, Energy, Railcar, Food Packaging, Metals, Real Estate, Gaming and Home Fashion.

Discussion in '2 smokers' started by sjc56, May 21, 2010.
Rebuilt the carb, added gas ,new plug. Starts 1 or 2 kicks
I know I'm bumping an old thread but hey! Not quite a year later how's that little bike treating you? My girlfriend just bought a 75 F7 175 it's her first bike. . It runs good but we are in the process of getting the lights and such to get it back on the street. A PO removed all these goodies at some point to use it on a farm. I just pursing thread to gleam all the info on this bike that I can.
Last time I tried to take it for a spin back in the fall it didn't want to stay running, I haven't gotten back to it yet while I get my 74 Guzzi back together.
I want to pull the motor apart and put in new seals maybe a new piston from what I have read mine is way down on power, given enough road it should do 70 mine struggles to get to 55. A friend suggested I go up on the main do to the alcohol in the gas. 2 strokes don't like it.
The F7 is still one of my all time favorite bikes. tourquey little suckers. great to ride.
I keep hearing that and mine will not even lift the front wheel my old 80 XT250 had no trouble getting a wheel up makes me think my bike needs something.
Sounds like it needs a rebuild, gotta love the old bikes for running even when a rebuilds needed lol. If you like it now, youll love it after the engines back in.
Looks like a nice bike though, my brother almost bought one a few weeks ago, had we seen this thread we might have been more inclined to get it. Ended up with a TS185 that was a bit closer to home.
I had one of these back in the day. Bought it with 500 miles on the clock and sold it with 15000. I rode the snot out of it and it was reliable as the sun coming up. In good running order they were very strong 175's and could give 250's fits. I often wondered what ever happned to mine and I love to see people restore them. Mine was a 75 model in green with the black hash stripe.
I wish we could still buy bikes like this new. Mine topped out at the time at an indicated 80 running just over the red line. I only weighed 130 lbs back then. I could cruze at 50 and road it back and forth to college which was 75 miles away. It never dawned on me at 18 it was too small for that. My how times change. These were very very good motorcycles for their time.
USe dto ride one of these when I was a kid as well and it was a great bike for the day. My father in-law has one that I ride once in a while now and it has never been rebuilt after all these years and still has great compression and gobs of torque for a 175.
But there is no way they ever weighed anywhere near 130lbs. More like 330
I've got a new-to-me 74 F7, and am glad to find an active thread here in the 2 smokers subforum. Actually landed a pair of bikes, a 1975 KE125 in amazing shape (cosmetic *and* mechanical) for my wife, and a 1974 F7 for myself.
Hers starts right up, mine is a bit more finicky. If I get it to fire on the first kick, I can ride all over and it'll start right back up when warm; but if I miss it on the first kick, I've gotta let it sit for a few hours. I've got a few bits and bobs on order for it, including a new inlet tube gasket. The old one is being spit out. The previous owner also lost the little rubber plug over the air mixture screw, so It's got duct tape covering the hole. Anyone know where I could get that plug, so I don't have to screw around making one? Couldn't even find it on the parts fiche!
Runs great, when it runs, and has a fair bit of power. Bike has ~2000 miles on it; wife's bike has ~3000 miles on it.
While doing some maintenance, I think I've figured out that either the choke cable is seized or the choke mechanism in the carb is; her bike has a lot more movement in the choke lever. I suspect thats partially whats preventing mine from starting easily, along with probably a few million air leaks! The inside of the tank on mine has been treated with Kream (Cream?), but it looks like a nice enough job was done. Tank cap was lost and replaced with a car oil filler cap, which leaks a bit. Brake light switch broke and was replaced with a hackish little pushbutton on the lever itself (ebay perch/switch on the way), Tail lens is broke but usable for now, petcock was a bit leaky and PO put an inline shutoff just below it (forgot to thank him for this one.. ) and a few other issues, but so far so good. Doesn't help that its only 40F around here the last few days.
Having had a bit of sun today, though ~40-45F, I got the F7 out and fired up on starting fluid. Seems to idle way high, and not want to come back down. I noted that the air mixture screw on the carb was set at 5.5 turns out, anyone know what the baseline setting should be for that screw? Its usually more like 1.5-2.5 turns, so I'm guessing that mine is leaned way the hell out due to air leaks, and someone tried to 'fix' that with an adjustment. Anyone have some thoughts on where to start tracking down air leaks that would cause high idle on this bike? I'm sure the answer is "replace everything rubber", but .. c'mon, gotta be some biggest offenders
The rubber connecter for the carburetor is a good place to check also the shifter shaft seal.
I picked up a 76 125 with 800 miles on it. Rode it about a 1/2 mile changed all the gears. Got it home, ride it 2 miles, it wheezed and died. i can let it sit and warm for 15 minutes with no issues, but riding it always kills it.
Well, the clutch was shattered, I guess from the original oil and 35 years of sitting. I also replaced both crank seals and cleaned the carb, which was pretty darn clean. But I still have the same issue with riding it. It goes about 2-3 miles boggs down sneezing, sometimes it backfires. Pulled the plug each time, its not getting fuel. But it won't start again until its cooled. I did note that while the carb cover was off and I was rotating the engine w/o a plug in it that the fuel air was spitting out the side of the carb. And every time I opened the carb cover its coated in fuel oil mixture.
It has to be a seal? but I am running out of ideas.
I am currently about to change the oring in the rotorary valve, and hope thats the culprit.
OK so I am jumping on here now :) A couple of weeks ago I bought 1972 F7. I know next to nothing about this bike. I have replaced the coil (old one was cracked and done) and cleaned the carb. Shot some ther in carb and it starts so that is a plus. I have a ton more questions about bike. I have gadgets on there and not sure what their functions are. can someone please help???
What do you mean by gadgets? Ad on's?
I have a 71 f-7, let me know if you have questions about the bike.
hey all sorry for jumping on here, but thought all you f7 owners may be of some help. I have a '71 f7 that has been tough to get going, I had it going right after i installed the rebuilt carb, needed to squirt gas in the spark plug hole but got it started relatively easily, but after about 4 min it just died. Haven't been able to get it started since. during that initial start i had a ton of exhaust leaking out where the exhaust meets the engine, so i tightened that up, then realized that the exhaust may actually be plugged so loosened those bolts up and it sounds better like it want's to start again but still won't. I am not sure if i have the carb hooked up right tho as the previous owner must have tried to convert the petcock to manual, as the vacuum line going into the carb case is plugged. So I should then plug the vacuum line on the carb correct? just wondering if someone has a picture of a correct setup of the carb they could send me? also it seems to be flooding the carb really quickly, so not sure if the needle jet or something in the carb is plugged up already. I installed an inline fuel filter but not right away, so i'm sorry to say some crud from the fuel tank may have clogged up my nice new carb. Other than that i am thinking maybe an air leak, compression test is at 120psi with cold engine so adding the 5% to compensate makes it 126psi which i know is a bit low, but when gauge is attached it doesn't seem to drop at all so am i in the clear for a leak in the cylinder? maybe a loose connection on the carb holder? also the rubber cap on the carb is so hard to get on, not sure if mine is on far enough? I'll try to attach a photo.
last thing- carb is making a hissing sound when i am at zero throttle and push on the kicker, sounds like air is going out of the carb, what does this mean?
thanks so much and sorry for long message.
Well, it sounds like you've got enough compression for it to run.
I don't remember the petcock setup, it must be vacuum operated. If the PO tried to convert it to manual it probably wasn't working so yes, I'd plug the vacuum line.
The carb flooding means your needle valve is almost certainly dirty or the float is not set at the right height.
The exhaust being plugged is a possibility. That happened to mine back in the day. It would start and run but was way down on power, it would top out around 35mph. I took it to a great independent mechanic who was able to cut the exhaust open, burn out the packing/ oil that was plugging it, and braze it back together.
From the looks of that carb I would say it needs a good going through, There is a o ring on the main jet that goes away with age that will cause you problems.
Did a 50 mile ride this Sunday bike ran fine though I blew out my home made exhaust gasket. Other two bikes are a XL175 and a DT250.

Traffic Control Devices
Why are there not more stop and yield signs in my neighborhood?
One of the most common requests received by the City of Amarillo Traffic Engineering Department is for the installation of STOP or Yield signs at residential neighborhood intersections.
Many intersections in Amarillo have no STOP or YIELD signs. They are regulated under the Transportation Code of Texas Traffic Laws Section 545.151(D)(1) which states that: A vehicle operator approaching an intersection not controlled by official traffic control devices shall stop, yield and grant immediate use of the intersection to traffic approaching the intersection from the operator's right.
This is commonly referred to as the "Yield to the Right Rule".
There are two exceptions to the rule: A "T" intersection where through street traffic has the right-of-way, and the intersection of a paved and unpaved roadway where the driver on the paved roadway has the right-of-way.
Low-volume residential streets operate best using the state's yield-to-the-right rule stated above. This rule forces drivers to approach the intersection with more caution than would be necessary at STOP or YIELD controlled locations.
YIELD signs are considered at residential intersections where visibility is limited or accidents indicate a need to assign right-of-way, but vehicles do not have to stop at all times. Ordinarily the signs are placed on the street with the lower traffic volume.
STOP signs are considered at residential intersections where one or more of the following conditions exist:
- The intersection of a less important road with a main road where the "yield to the right rule" may be unduly hazardous.
- A street entering a through highway or street
- Where a combination of speed, restricted view, and accident record indicates a need for traffic control by STOP signs.
In most cases, two-way stop control is sufficient to define right-of-way. Four way stops are helpful only when traffic volumes are high and approximately equal on all 4 approaches. Locations that experience traffic volumes of at least 500 vehicles per hour for at least 8 hours of an average day may benefit from 4-way STOP control.
STOP and YIELD signs are used to assign right-of-way. They are not installed to divert traffic or control speeding. Studies have shown that the use of signs to control speed does not have the desired effect. Speeds may be reduced in the immediate vicinity of the signs, however speeds are usually higher between intersections than before the signs were installed. Unnecessary STOP and YIELD signs also increase air pollution, waste fuel, and create more neighborhood traffic noise.
Under the right conditions, STOP and YIELD signs play an important role in neighborhood traffic safety. However, the misuse of them as a driver nuisance, speed break, or traffic diverter causes drivers to violate them and develop a disrespect for all traffic control devices…resulting in more traffic accidents overall.
If you feel there is a residential intersection which may need additional control based on the criteria listed in this pamphlet, please call the Traffic Engineering Department at (806)378-6294 or e-mail us. You can also visit our offices in Room 238 of Simms Building at 808 S. Buchanan St, or write us a P.O. Box 1971, Amarillo, Texas, 79105-1971.

Ford Ranger Maintenance and Repair
montess2k4 Posts: 6I have a 2001 ranger xl 3.0 longbed. I recently put new plugs, wires, pcv valve, fuel filter on the truck. Before i did all this i was at 17 mpg. After all the work i am still sitting at 17 mpg. What gives? Can anyone help? Thanks!
My 2001 Edge, 3.0 v6 has a problem I can't find any information on. Fuse #2 blows every time I shift out to drive or reverse. The airbag light comes on, I have no overdrive, the A/C - heater fan won't blow and I have no reverse lights. The manual says all of these are functions fall on Fuse #2. Someone suggested changing the reverse switch on the transmission. I did that and it did nothing. Whenever I put a new fuse in it everything works fine until I shift.
I called a dealer and the service guy said he saw this once before and it was a wire that ran from the overdrive button on the gear shifter to the column. He said they sometimes short out and it could be it. Of course without looking at it I really don't expect an instant answer.
If anyone out there has had an experience like this or is more knowledgeable about this stuff than I am (it doesn't take a lot) PLEASE give me some input :-) I don't want to start tearing more crap apart if it isn't really needed. The service people here in Germany charge an unreal amount of money to do anything so I want to avoid them if at all posible.
Turns out the wire running from the overdrive button had a bare spot on it from rubbing against metal in the column. Easy fix and I'm glad I didn't end up taking it to a dealer and getting hosed.
Ok all, I have a problem. I have a 2K4 3.0 v6 ranger misfiring, i think on cylinder 2. I had a valve job done on both heads, cylinders 5,6 had burned exhaust valves, and pounded seats, and cylinder 2 had burned exhaust valve and pounded seat. No one is driving it like a maniac either. It is my dad's truck, and he drives it just like any regular person.
It has 80K ish miles on it. I replaced the throttle position sensor, plugs, wires, coil pack, valve job on both heads, all new gaskets, checked the fuel injectors with the ohm meter, and they are reading 13.5 ohms, which is within tolerance (12-16 ohms), fuel pressure is up, no codes are coming up on my code reader. I am running out of things that can be wrong with it, and still am not figuring it out.
Here is the kicker... I can unplug the wiring to cylinder 2 fuel injector, and the truck starts running worse, but if i leave it hooked up, i can unplug cylinders 1 + 3 fuel injectors, and the truck doesn't notice a difference. Ok, so i switched cylinder 2 and cylinder 3 injectors, and still, cylinder 2 is the only one to have an effect on the engine.
I have been working on this truck for a while now, and still, no progress. The misfire is slight, but still there, if you listen closely, and when you are accelerating on the freeway, it gets BAD. I hooked up the plug wires to the coil pack, according to my Chilton's manual, but when i do that, the truck will NOT run. AT ALL!! I can get it to spin over a couple of times, but the engine is trying to jump out into my neighbors yard. I hooked the wires up according to the firing order rather than what the manual said, and it runs well, but still has that little misfire. Any help would be nice.
kennyb2 Posts: 1I have a 1999 Ranger 4X4 XLT Ex-cab V6 4.0. The left side directional light seems to get stuck on at random. Any ideas? The right side always works.
it could be the actual blinker box thing
There should be a little square box under your dash that has some prongs sticking out of the top of it, that hook up to some wiring. That box is what makes your blinkers work, and that is the sound you here when it is on. To find it, turn your blinker on, and follow the sound
mpwbw Posts: 7My last two rangers did the same thing. I had a 4*2 Ext. Cab 3 liter V6 and now a 4*4 4.0 liter V6. I too had the tranny fluid changed.
The problem comes and goes. I keep up with maintenance and only go to major gas stations like Citgo, Shell, Sunoco. The problem comes and goes.
If it is low fuel pressure -- how does one correct this? I already had the fuel filter replaced, which didn't look terrible, even though it was rusted somewhat on the outside and the truck only had 30,000 highway miles on it.
Any input would be appreciated.
jimlab Posts: 5I have a 96 Ranger XLT, 4wd, 4.0L auto. It recently started draining the battery down overnight.
So far I have swapped the battery out with a known good battery. Pulled the alternator and taken it to the local advanced auto and auto zone for testing. Pulled the hood light, glove box lights and dome lights. All of which have made no difference.
I then measured across the battery under no/full load conditions with the car idling and I get about 14.2 volts. I also revved the truck up to 2-3000 rpm, and the voltage remained steady.
I then went and pulled each of the fuses in the cab fuse box and measured across each location in the fuse box to see if I could find a short (if the circuit is complete (or shorted) you'll measure voltage across the fuse location). Most of the locations measured 0 volts except for the following:
Location 21 Hazard Lamps
Location 24 Starter/Anti-theft
Location 25 Speedo/GEM
Location 27 Courtesy Lights
Location 28 GEM
I can see how the antitheft and GEM can draw power all the time, but the courtesy lights and hazard lamps kind of threw me.
Anybody have any ideas other than pulling fuses everynight and seeing if I can isolate the current draw that way? Is it possible for the alternator to test out OK, but have leaky diodes that can cause this problem? I'd also be interested in knowing what the typical current draw from the battery is with everything off- I think I measured something like 200 milliamps.
frohrs Posts: 17Thanks Bolivar you share some good info!
I agree change all three. I have a 95 2300 Ranger & the fuel pump just went out. Turn the ignition to "ON" you can't here the pump:( Original Ford pump $200.00 at the dealer. Car Quest Air-Tex pump with hanger $179.00. Looks like I'm heading to Car Quest for a pump & than changing all three relays.
As some of you out there might know I have had intermittent problems with my Ranger starting. Well I originally swapped my relays and then I replaced them altogether. Well I was going home on monday and the thing was dying and sputtering all the way. Like before I would wiggle my relays and get it to start. Well I took it to the shop on tuesday and had them look at it. It was the pin connection underneath the relay box. They changed my pins and tightened them up and the problem has been fixed. $103 wasn't too bad of deal I thought!
landdriver Posts: 607Not positive but 200 mA seems way high to me, corresponding to 2.4W, about the current drawn by a map light bulb. It probably accounts for the battery draining overnight.
The voltage you read across the fuse contacts is explained if the switches that control the corresponding devices are semiconductor-based, not mechanical. Semiconductor switches, when "off," do exhibit some leakage resistance which, when in series with the device being controlled, for example, a light bulb, completes the path needed for the voltmeter to see the battery voltage.
A better test would be to put an ammeter across the fuse contacts and measure the resulting current. Hopefully this will help isolate the current leak. Equivalently you can keep the ammeter connected in series with the battery and pull fuses/disconnect connectors until the 200 mA current draw disappears.
jipster Louisville, KentuckyPosts: 5,441The truck just rolled over 110,000 miles and to date the only problem I have encountered is a bad U-Joint that was replaced with about 60K on the odometer. The front wheel bearings and clutch will have to be replaced sometime in the future but all things considered this has been a dirt cheep truck to own. It returns 26mpg in mixed driving consistantly. I am looking at replacing the truck in the next year or so but havent found anything out there worth the money. shopped toyo, nissan, gm and nothing stands out as being any better for my needs. I am starting to look more closely at the explorer sport trac though.
exploder750 Posts: 159You have a Ranger setup that's famously bulletproof. Mine's a '96 4WD standard cab 4.0 5MT, and has been pretty good, 115,000 miles. Pulling down only 20mpg tops, but what can one expect for 3.73 gears, even with overdrive. I'm looking at the Sport Trac as well, but it seems a bit upscale for my needs. Too bad smaller engines and a manual transmission aren't available.

i have a 97 ranger i was driving it a few days ago went to throttle down because of trafic and it quit pulling in drive and had no reverse i can turn the O/D switch off and works fine in forward gears and will go into overdrive when i am moving but when i stop i have to turn it off to move again and still no reverse this was an instant thing the trans had been working fine before and the O/D light was flashing after i let it sit for a few days the light quit flashing but still have the problems. any one got any ideas of what the problem is?
The sensor in the rear differential.
called the dealer parts dept. they don't have a clue about a sensor in the differential for the trans.
copperwind1 Posts: 1Your ABS control box may be dead??? My dad had his go out in his 92 4X4 and it had to be replaced. Same issues... ie. ABS light on all the time. Breaks work fine. Still, the ABS does not and you won't know it until you have to slam on the brakes. I think it was around $300 for some one to stick a new one in for him? Not cheap, but you want to get your ABS fixed... IMO.
The sensor drives the ABS and cruise control. Your problem may be this sensor, or some other part of the ABS, as the other poster also said.
You might should pay the money and have the ABS error code/s read. If the ABS light is flashing, I would think there should be some codes being set. Reading the ABS codes is not as simple as reading out the 'check engine codes'. I think this system even has a plug separate from the plug where you plug in to get the check engine codes.
So, either take the vehicle to a good mechanic, one that knows how to work on ABS brake system (which is much more complicated than non-ABS), or throw parts at the problem, such as the sensor in the differential or the ABS control box......
it's not my ABS light flashing, it was the O/D light but it's not flashing anymore and my truck does not have cruise control my problems are in the transmission as i stated in my origonal post, not brake problems
several years ago i had a garage in indiana i was a first class mechanic and never shortcut anything, and had been working on vehicles for more than 30 years and i also rebuilt transmissions then i became disabled and lost track of the new computerized vehicles. so i am not entirly stupid about cars and trucks. with help from one of my neighbors with the heavy work i rebuilt the engine in mt 97 ranger. the head is from a 93 i had to seal up a water port under the intake but it works fine.
i will try to explain the problem once again!
with the O/D switch off i have forward gears and it shifts fine, but in reverse it will not move or slips badly--- with O/D switch on it will not move in drive or reverse i can pull the shift lever in 2nd it will move, it was an instant problem. the O/D light was flashing at one time but is not flashing at all now.! can any one tell me if the sensor on the drivers side of the transmission cause this problem? any help would be greatly apriciated!!!
cerich Posts: 9I had the same on my 2000 B2500 Mazda(same truck) it kept pinging like you describe from ~80K to 128K when it was always pinging and then threw a CEL and shook like a wet dog, #3 cylinder was bad so new engine went in. It's been good now for 12K in 12 months, of course I also got a new vehicle at the same time so the B2500 doesn't get as many miles anymore (did another 26K on the new jeep and another couple on the wifes car on weekend getaways).
That and a tranny solenoid are the only issues in 140k.
BTW, I change oil and used synthetic 5-30 every 2500 miles since day one. I never expected a lower end problem! I figured it was the upper end at first....
i believe the first thing i would do is change the oil filter just to make sure you have good circulation before i go to extreams, there has been times i have had to change even new filters because they were defective.
Where is the inertia switch (fuel pump shut off) on a '94 Ranger with a 3.0 liter V-6. The Ranger was in a collision and I believe this has been tripped so that the vehicle doesn't want to start. I heard it was under the kick panel on the passenger side so I pulled that off and haven't been able to find it. :confuse:
ballpeen Posts: 8I just scanned through all of the posts for the last year to find out about a pinging problem with my 3.0L. This site has answered a lot of questions, so I guess I should give something back. Anyway, I came across post 2285 (RE: Tranny Problems) that you might want to look at. I couldn't find the original. Hope this helps.
It's behind the upper edge of the carpet, on passenger side, but near the 'tunnel'. There should be a button to push to reset.
codek289 Posts: 2I just started having the same problem. I know that the unlock feature is supposed to be disabled after the truck is off (anti-theft) but mine has quit unlocking the doors altogether at anytime. However the passenger side still works. Have you found a solution yet?

I suggested Lycopodium 200 for two weeks for a patient complained of over sexual stimulation (male 42 years married), every other girl he sees attracts him, fond of masturbation when alone and watching erotic movies etc. He also sleeps very late (by around 1 am after midnight) but wakes up by 5.45 am. He gets some sleep around 11 am. But, still no improvement after a month. Silicea, Nat Mur and Sulphur were also tried earlier in various degrees but of no remarkable improvement. Will you please advice where I went wrong?
Couple of questions-
Why Lyco 200? Why not Acid flour, Avena sativa, Caladium, Acid phos or something else. The point is that there are many other possible remedies.
Why Lyco 200 for two weeks? Why do you need to repeat it so frequently. It is well known that dry dose should not be repeated frequently otherwise the medicines often stop working soon. It is preferable to give a dose or few doses and then wait for body's reaction. If you remedy is right, he body will definitely respond.
The 4 remedies that you have used – 2 our thermally Hot and 2 are cold. The mental makeup of all four is very different. This indicates a deficient case taking on your part. Take a more indepth case, prescribe for the 'whole' person and not just for the sexual sphere and you would get better results.

Peter MacKay has to share his Defence portfolio with Julian Fantino now, a move revealed in a cabinet reorganization that's fuelled speculation about his relationship with Stephen Harper.
It's no secret that Mr. MacKay, who once led the Progressive Conservative Party, is not exactly best friends with the Prime Minister. Indeed, he has been gradually losing his powers.
After the 2008 election, the regional development agency he headed, ACOA, was taken away. And then at Wednesday's swearing-in, Mr. MacKay found himself still at the helm of the Department of National Defence but with a seemingly lesser role after Mr. Fantino was named Associate Minister of Defence.
Dimitri Soudas, the Prime Minister's director of communications, explained that Mr. Fantino - the former top cop in Toronto and Ontario - will be responsible for defence procurement. It's a huge responsibility given the National Defence budget is about $22-billion and between 14 and 16 per cent is for procurement.
Later, however, Mr. MacKay made it very clear he still remains the chief, telling reporters that Mr. Fantino reports to him.
"He'll be reporting up through me on these procurement files and Julian has tremendous experience within a chain of command, as you know, having worked in law enforcement," Mr. MacKay said.
Steven Staples, a defence specialist who is president of the Rideau Institute, says this new appointment could be a "good thing" as it makes someone "responsible for minding the store on all this."
The left-leaning think tank argues there needs to be greater ministerial accountability on defence procurement. "If this puts it in one person's hands that's not necessarily a bad thing," Mr. Staples said.
He notes that defence procurement is currently handled by three different government officials: the defence minister, who deals with the requirements; the public-works minister, who handles the procurement process; and the industry minister, who looks at the offsets or the investment requirement in Canada.
"When something goes wrong they can all go, 'well it's his fault or her fault,'" Mr. Staples complained. For this reason, the Rideau Institute has said the buck should stop with the defence minister.
In addition to the assigning a new minister, Mr. Staples argues that there should be a Commons committee or sub-committee looks only at military procurement. "All they do is monitor the progress of procurement. And then at certain points when cost schedules go up alarms go off and people are invited in to explain the cost overruns."
He theorized that Mr. Fantino was given this new role to "reset the debate" over the F-35 jet purchase. So far, he noted, only Mr. MacKay's parliamentary secretary, former fighter pilot Laurie Hawn, has been out there defending the controversial deal that the Liberals had tried to make into an election issue.
"We haven't seen MacKay really do much on it since he climbed into the cockpit last July and Hawn has been out there strafing all his critics," Mr. Staples said. "... I've felt it go up the backside of me on more than one occasion."
So where does this leave Mr. MacKay?
Mr. Staples suggested he will be overseeing the operational side, which may be reduced because "they are also projecting there is going to be an operational pause so that we will see a little less missions going on."
He mused that this actually could be a plum for Mr. MacKay, who could then travel around and announce major contracts "particularly in places like Atlantic Canada, which heavily rely on defence spending."
That leaves Mr. Fantino with a potential "hot potato," given the number of costly projects he will have to defend. On top of the F-35 stealth jets, there's about $12-billion for frigates and Arctic offshore patrol vessels in the offing.
Perhaps Mr. MacKay won't mind sharing.

HP OpenVMS Systems
HP Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS
Always read the product documentation prior to using the software. This
chapter describes additional guidelines for using the Advanced Server for OpenVMS
3.1 Changes Introduced with Version 7.3A of the Advanced Server for OpenVMS
This section covers changes to the latest release of the Advanced Server for OpenVMS that you might notice and which are not listed in Section 2.5, New Features Provided by Advanced Server V7.3A for OpenVMS.
Beginning with OpenVMS Version 7.3-1, an option for case-sensitive lookups of file names is supported. Case-blind file name lookup is the default behavior for OpenVMS and the Advanced Server. As reported in the OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-1 Release Notes, case-sensitive file name lookup is a very significant change in behavior and cannot be expected to work seamlessly with existing applications. Likewise, command line processing of case-sensitive commands might result in unexpected behavior. HP recommends that you do not enable this feature on systems that run the Advanced Server. For more information, see Section 13.4.17, Case Sensitivity.
The installation software calculates the system disk space required for installation.
Table 3-1 lists the approximate amount of free disk space on the OpenVMS system disk that is required during the installation procedure.
|Free Disk Space
|Complete Advanced Server
|Standalone License Server
|Standalone external authentication images
|Standalone License Server and external authentication images
Note that if the available space is barely enough to install the kit, you might see messages similar to these during the installation:
%PCSI-E-WRITEERR, error writing DISK$AXP072:[VMS$COMMON.][SYSEXE]DEC-AXPVMS-VMS- V0702-1.PCSI$DATABASE;1 -RMS-F-FUL, device full (insufficient space for allocation) %PCSI-E-CLOSEOUT, error closing DISK$AXP072:[VMS$COMMON.][SYSEXE]DEC-AXPVMS-VMS- V0702-1.PCSI$DATABASE;1 as output -RMS-F-FUL, device full (insufficient space for allocation) %PCSI-E-S_OPFAIL, operation failed %PCSIUI-E-ABORT, operation terminated due to an unrecoverable error condition
The software installation procedure (PCSI) has completed its task of
installing the product, but does not have space to record its success.
HP recommends that you make additional space available and install the
product again.
3.3 Server Installation
Advanced Server for OpenVMS provides a single installation procedure, using the POLYCENTER Software Installation (PCSI) utility, that allows you to choose one of the following installations:
The Advanced Server for OpenVMS requires an OpenVMS Alpha operating system, Version 7.3-1 and Version 7.3-2.
Consider the following restrictions related to server installation:
Before attempting to install the Advanced Server, HP recommends that you check your system for the SYS$UPDATE:PWVN$IVP.DAT file and remove it. Previous versions of PWVN$DEINSTAL.COM failed to remove the file. If SYS$UPDATE:PWVN$IVP.DAT is present, the installation assumes that Netware is still present and fails.
Refer to the HP Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.
3.3.2 Upgrading the Server
This section provides several guidelines for upgrading your server that
are not documented elsewhere.
22.214.171.124 Upgrading Your Server and OpenVMS
If you plan to upgrade an OpenVMS Version 7.2-1x system to Version 7.3x, and that system is running an Advanced Server for OpenVMS version prior to V7.3, first upgrade the Advanced Server for OpenVMS to the latest version before you upgrade the OpenVMS system.
If you are running V7.3 of the Advanced Server for OpenVMS on an
OpenVMS Version 7.2-1x, then first upgrade the OpenVMS system
to Version 7.3x before you upgrade the Advanced Server to its
current version.
220.127.116.11 Upgrading a Server with a Large Share Database
If your share database is extremely large, see Section 13.2.2, Upgrading Large Share Databases, prior to
running PWRK$CONFIG.COM to perform the upgrade.
184.108.40.206 Upgrading an Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS Member Server
As with Windows NT workstations, the Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS member server supports the Power Users group, which includes more privileges than the member server's local domain User's group, namely the privilege to share and stop sharing directories and printers. On a fresh installation of the Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS, the Power Users group is included in the member's local domain database after changing the server's role to member server. However, when upgrading an Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS member server to Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS, the Power User's group will not be included in the member server's local domain database. To add this group to the database, do the following:
If you currently have Version 7.3-ECO1 or 7.3-ECO2 of the Advanced Server for OpenVMS installed on your system, then when you install Advanced Server V7.3A for OpenVMS or any ECOs to V7.3A, the PCSI installation procedure displays the warning messages such as the following, which you can ignore:
%PCSI-W-VERLOW, you have selected a lower version of an installed product -PCSI-W-VERINS, the installation of product CPQ AXPVMS ADVANCEDSERVER V7.3-A -PCSI-W-VERREM, will remove current product CPQ AXPVMS ADVANCEDSERVER V7.3-1 Do you want to continue? [YES]
As you can see from the warning messages, PCSI translates the Version 7.3-ECO1 kit version string (V0703-1) to V7.3-1, which is higher than V7.3-A, the translation for the Version 7.3A kit version string (V0703-A). Of course, in actuality, the Advanced Server V7.3A for OpenVMS is higher than Advanced Server V7.3-ECO1 for OpenVMS.
Ignore the warning messages and continue, as indicated by the following message that displays prior to PCSI's warning messages:
******************************************************* You will soon see a warning message claiming the version to be installed is lower than the version already installed. Disregard that message. It is safe to continue with the installation. You are installing a higher version. *******************************************************
The Advanced Server provides several configuration utilities:
The PWRK$CONFIG.COM configuration procedure allows you to:
You run the PWRK$CONFIG.COM configuration procedure after installing
the Advanced Server. You may run it again at a later time if you want to
reconfigure the Advanced Server. For more information about installing
and configuring the Advanced Server for OpenVMS software, refer to the HP Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Installation and Configuration Guide.
For restrictions regarding member servers joining a domain, see
Section 13.10.4, Member Server Role Restrictions.
3.4.2 Configuring Your Server to Participate as a Browser
Beginning with Version 7.3A of the Advanced Server for OpenVMS, the server uses the OpenVMS Registry value MaintainServerList to determine whether your server participates as a browser (when set to yes, your server participates as a browser; when set to no, it does not participate as a browser).
By default, this parameter is normally set to YES. However, if you have upgraded your server from Version 7.3-ECO1 or earlier, the previous server might have automatically set the MaintainServerList registry value to NO. The earlier server still participated as a browser because it ignored the MaintainServerList value. Alternatively, you might manually set the registry value to NO on your current server.
In any case, if the PWRK$CONFIG.COM configuration procedure now detects that the MaintainServerList value is set to NO, it will prompt you as follows to give you a chance to change that if you intend to have your server participate as a browser:
Currently this server is not configured to participate as a browser. This server will not gather information about other computers in the domain because the registry value MaintainServerList is set to No. This setting of the registry value may have been made inadvertently in previous versions of the Advanced Server. Would you like your computer to participate as a browser? ([Y]/N)
To manage server-specific configuration parameters that determine the system environment in which the server operates, you can use the Configuration Manager, a character-cell user interface. These parameters are, for the most part, directly or indirectly related to the environment in which the Advanced Server operates, such as the server's usage of OpenVMS system resources and physical memory. Examples of these parameters include the server's client capacity, the size of its data cache, and which network transports it should use. The parameters modified by the Configuration Manager are not stored in the OpenVMS Registry.
The PWRK$CONFIG.COM configuration procedure gives you the option of invoking the Configuration Manager. After installing and configuring your server, you can also invoke the Configuration Manager at the OpenVMS DCL ($) prompt as follows:
Refer to the HP Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Administrator's Guide for more information about using the
Configuration Manager.
3.4.4 Modifying Server Parameters Stored in the OpenVMS Registry
The Advanced Server for OpenVMS software relies on the OpenVMS Registry to store and reference server parameters. The OpenVMS Registry is similar to the Windows NT Registry.
To manage server-specific configuration parameters that are stored in the OpenVMS Registry, you can use the PWRK$REGUTL utility. These parameters affect the behavior of the Advanced Server but not, for the most part, file server resource consumption. Examples of these parameters include the name for the Advanced Server on the network, its cluster alias, values that specify how the Advanced Server deals with Browser activity, values that affect network logon, and values that define the shares created automatically by the Advanced Server.
The PWRK$REGUTL utility is available to use after you install the Advanced Server software. The program is found at:
If your process has included the Advanced Server command definitions in the PWRK$DEFINE_COMMANDS.COM file, or if you have defined the REGUTL command, you can start the PWRK$REGUTL utility by entering the REGUTL command. To define the REGUTL command and start the utility, enter the following commands at the OpenVMS command prompt:
As shown, the PWRK$REGUTL utility responds by displaying the REGUTL> prompt.
To use PWRK$REGUTL to access the OpenVMS Registry, your process must have one of the following:
You can use the OpenVMS REG$CP utility as well as PWRK$REGUTL to manage parameters in the OpenVMS Registry. However, HP recommends that you use PWRK$REGUTL to manage server configuration parameters, because it has built-in knowledge of keys and values used by the Advanced Server, including the attributes of the data, such as minimum, maximum, and default values.
For more information on the OpenVMS Registry and how to manage server
parameters, refer to the HP Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Administrator's Guide. For information on starting the
OpenVMS Registry, refer to the HP Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Installation and Configuration Guide. For more information on
setting up and managing the OpenVMS Registry, refer to the
OpenVMS System Manager's Manual or the COM, Registry, and Events for OpenVMS Developer's Guide (included in the OpenVMS
Documentation CD-ROM).
126.96.36.199 LANMAN.INI Parameters Are Migrated to the OpenVMS Registry When Upgrading from PATHWORKS for OpenVMS
If you are upgrading a system from a previous PATHWORKS for OpenVMS product to Advanced Server for OpenVMS, the parameters and settings in the existing LANMAN.INI file are migrated to the OpenVMS Registry when you run the PWRK$CONFIG.COM configuration procedure after installation. In specific, the PWRK$CONFIG.COM procedure invokes the SYS$UPDATE:PWRK$MIGRATE_INI.COM file to perform a "one time" setup of the registry and migration of the parameters. After the migration is complete, the LANMAN.INI file is retained but not used. A parameter is set in the OpenVMS Registry indicating that the server parameters have been migrated. As long as this parameter exists and has a non-NULL value, subsequent invocations of the PWRK$MIGRATE_INI.COM file will skip over the migration process.
You can view this parameter in the registry using the following commands:
$ REGUTL :== $SYS$SYSTEM:PWRK$REGUTL $ REGUTL SHOW VALUE * LanmanIniMigrated
The Advanced Server startup procedure records a list of all Advanced Server parameters that are set in the OpenVMS Registry. You can use this list as a reference if you should ever need the latest parameter values. The list is stored in the following location, where nodename is the name of your server node:
The Advanced Server requires that the following server configuration parameters, which are stored in the OpenVMS Registry, always match the corresponding information in the Advanced Server Security Account Manager (SAM) database:
These parameters are initially defined when you run the PWRK$CONFIG configuration procedure, as described in the HP Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Installation and Configuration Guide. The configuration procedure stores the information that you provide, both in the OpenVMS Registry and in the SAM database.
If the information stored in these two locations becomes inconsistent, the Advanced Server will not operate properly, and the following problems can occur:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:PWRK$CONFIG.COM Advanced Server V7.3A for OpenVMS Configuration Procedure . . . Enter disk device name where the Advanced Server data files will be stored [PWROOT:]: Checking to see if OpenVMS Registry Services are available... Verifying SAM database files... The SAM database is too corrupt to check or repair. %PWRK-F-SAMCHECK Error initializing Sam database files
$ @SYS$STARTUP:PWRK$STARTUP.COM The file server will use DECnet, NetBEUI, TCP/IP. Advanced Server mail notification will use DECnet. Process NETBIOS created with identification 00000143 Process PWRK$NBDAEMON created with identification 00000145 Process PWRK$KNBDAEMON created with identification 00000147 Process PWRK$LICENSE_R created with identification 00000149 Checking to see if OpenVMS Registry Services are available... %PWRK-F-INCOMPLETE, Advanced Server for OpenVMS has not been completely configured -PWRK-I-CONFIG, please execute @SYS$UPDATE:PWRK$CONFIG.COM
To solve these problems, you must modify the data settings for the mismatched parameters in the OpenVMS Registry to match the corresponding information in the SAM database.

How to Speed Up Lightroom Loading Times
How to speed up lightroom loading times in develop module.
I have to admit it took me a few years to finally move over to Lightroom for my editing. Prior to Lightroom I had used Adobe Bridge and although it didn't have all of the tools Lightroom had it was much faster. There have been improvements over the years every time Adobe releases a new update and with some tips you can speed up how quick Lightroom loads your photos in the develop module. Since I mainly shoot weddings and have to process thousands of images a week speed is key for me. Here are a few tips on how to speed up Lightroom.
First off lets start with why things render at different speeds in the Library and Develop modules. In the Library module you are only seeing previews that are showing up from your preview cache, since these are small files generally they load up and show very quick. In the develop module though Lightroom will first show the preview but then you will see the dreaded "Loading" icon come up while it reads the full RAW image and sets the sliders so you can start editing. Depending on how you set things up this can take a second or two which can be frustrating while going through thousands of images.
So how to speed that process up? Before we get into that a few quick things to note. While the "Loading" overlay is showing you can begin work on the image. Also if you find this overlay message distracting, you can turn it off by going to the Library Module and then going to View –> View Options –> Loupe View –> 'Show message when loading or rendering photos'.
The first step of speeding up how Lightroom views images from your Develop module is to set the previews that you import to Standard size. This does take more time then while Lightroom is importing your photos so you have to take that into consideration. What I generally do is load up a shoot in Lightroom at the very end of the day or before I have to do something else and just let it run. If you already have imported your images and want to re-render the previews that can be done by going back to the Library Module and going to Library –> Previews –> Render Standard-Sized Previews. This might take a little bit of time to process but by the time it's done the Develop module should be processing your images much faster.
Another thing that can help to speed up Lightroom is the Camera Raw cache. By default the Camera Raw cache is only 1gb in size. With only 1gb of space you can fill that up very quickly and then aren't seeing the full benefit of having the cache. This can be changed to an amount up to 50GB. Just go to Lightroom's Preferences dialog and click on the File Handling tab. The bigger the cache the better so if you have 50GB of space then I would use all of that. You can also change the location and with the speed of SSD drives now it might be a good decision to use a SSD drive. I haven't made the conversion to SSD other than my main drive for apps but will be changing my working Lightroom drive over shortly and report on the difference. If you don't want to go SSD make sure you have a 7200 rpm drive which should be pretty fast.

I'm taking a short break from blogging here. For a week, at least, and then we'll see. Maybe I'll post a thing or two, maybe not. I'm exhausted, and depressed, and worried sick about certain family issues, and about to move back to Moscow, which is both good and bad, for a number of obvious reasons. Writing in my Dear Diary would be the right thing for me to do now.

I just requested you as a friend on facebook. I hadn't read your blog in quite awhile except just quickly. I'm so sorry about your last months and my thoughts are with you right now. When you're in Moscow if you ever need to get out of the city, Yaroslavl is 4 hours away and I have some great friends with great dachas and banyas and superb conversations.

Have Boat Questions? Ask a Boat Repair Expert.
Hey Tan,
Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the problem. Let me explain. I see how the upper and lower shift shafts are suppose to engage. The upper shift shaft, #25, has a channel that is machined inthe bottom of the shoe that is facing forward. The lower shift shaft runs mostly vertically, but has a short(about 3/4 of an inch) 90degree bend that also faces forward and fits into the machined channel in the shoe of the upper shift shaft. If the shoe is facing forward, then the bent part of the lower shift shaft can slide through and out with the sterndrive, but if the upper shift shaft is rotated, say 90 degrees, then the bent part of the lower shift shaft cannot slide through the channel of the shoe of the upper shift shaft and the sterndrive cannot be slid back and off. I think that I understand all of that.
My situation is that those two shift shafts (upper and lower) are already completely disengaged. The bent part of the lower shift shaft is already completely out of the channel and behind the upper shaft...thus it should not offer any resistance to removing the sterndrive. Yet, we cannot get it to move any farther backwards. Any other ideas?
Well you really haven't given me any new information, but you did verify that that it SHOULD come off. This gives me the confidence that I can use more force to pry it off without ruining an expence part by doing something stupid. Although I haven't gotten it off yet, I am going to go ahead and accept your answer so you can get paid. Thanks.
Oh, since I am a man of my word, if you give me an email to send the promised pictures to I will do so...enjoy.

Landscape and Warfare in Early Medieval Britain
The study of early medieval conflict landscapes has hitherto been largely driven by the traditional research agendas of military historians and battlefield archaeologists who have sought above all to precisely locate battlefields and reconstruct narratives of engagement. The deeply problematic nature of the source material for reliably identifying sites has, however, resulted in the locational significance of battlefields remaining under-researched. My thesis approaches the subject from a different angle and takes its theoretical perspective from anthropological and archaeological approaches that identify symbolic expression in the practice and idea of violence. In particular, I question interpretations of warfare that regard this activity in purely instrumental/material terms, and seek to bring the study of organised violence into the orbit of other social phenomena of the early medieval period (assembly, execution, burial, religious practice etc) that are seen as imparting and deriving meaning from their landscape contexts . By focussing on the description of battlefield locations in a comprehensive survey of historical sources, I seek to identify patterns in the types of landscape considered appropriate to warfare. In doing so, I am less concerned with whether locations can be identified (or even the historicity of the events themselves) than with how landscapes of warfare were imagined in different times and places; the association of battle with specific landscape types has the potential to reveal much about how these societies responded to and constructed their environments, and how violence was conceptualised in relation to place.

Carbon Nanotubes: Making your water drinkable
by Nojh on Jun.01, 2011, under Articles, News, Science
New desalination process uses carbon nanotubes [Kurzweil AI]
So part of the problem with water is that the majority of it on Earth is full of salt and drinking that much salt just isn't that good for us. So we came up with the word desalination to describing removing salt from water. Too bad most desalination processes are very energy intensive. However researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology have some up better process using carbon nanotubes that requires less heat and produces more drinkable water!

So, I was always going to go to medical school. After spending a large amount of money on the application process, I was wait-listed at two medical schools and never received a call. At the same time I went through the application process, my fiance was applying for graduate school. He was going to be a science professor, do primary research, and I was going to be a pediatrician. We were married a week after graduating from a private California university, and had had an on-going conversation about what professional life for both of us would look like—with children.
Since I didn't get into medical school, I put my biology degree to good use working as a cardiology tech while he started graduate school in a snowy east-coast state. I was disappointed but felt I could revisit the medical school question in a couple of years. Since I was working in hospital, taking call for interventional cardiology and working 60 hour work weeks, I started to "understand" what medical school and residency would have looked like.
Three years after we married, I became pregnant with our first child. We were ecstatic, but I soon started to wonder what full time work would look like. I realized that I felt like I could not mother and breastfeed the way I wanted to working MY full-time job. I spoke with my supervisor and said I would either find another part-time job in the university or I needed to be able to work 20 to 25 hours per week, and I could take call on weekends. Because I was a good employee and had investiture, I maintained my full-time benefits, working 20 to 30 hours per week. My husband took care of our baby one full day per week and she went to a babysitter for one full day per week, and then he covered the "call hours" I worked each week. It worked well for the better part of a year. As his studies became more lab-oriented and less academic, it became clear that he needed to spend more time on campus, and an opening with our care provider became available for one more day per week. When she was one, I worked three days per week. Since breastfeeding was very important to me, I was able to breastfeed her and pump on the days I was at work.
Shortly after she turned one, I became pregnant again. We were happy about this! But as I approached my eighth month, I found it harder and harder to work and take care of a toddler. When I sat down and "priced it out," the cost of childcare for two was going to eat up all my wages. So we took a really good look at our "lifestyle" and realized that we should go down to "graduate student stipend only." I mourned the loss of my job for three years, and it took those three years to learn to love being the at home parent.
After seeing the lifestyle of doctors in hospital, I no longer wanted to be a doctor. I did want to do something to do with health care, and considered several options—nursing, speech pathology, physician's assistant, and finally midwifery. Once my husband finished with graduate school (and we added another kid), he was burned out on academics, and found a job working for a company that serves the taxpayers in a larger suburban region of the country. After buying a home, and having two more children, both birthed at home with a midwife, I found the right role for me.
I began as a student midwife in 2010. This role will continue until mid-2014. I am also starting to teach childbirth classes. We have five children now, actively engaged in the community and church activities, music lessons, etc. While not always seamless, we have arrangements that allow me to cover my prenatal appointment days and one or more days in a row when I am attending a birth. We have some weeks where we are too busy and barely see each other, and we spend a lot of time discussing the schedule and who needs to be where. We also actively support each other when we are there. I cook better than he does, and try to do so when I'm home. He balances the checkbook better than I do, so I try to turn in receipts and be on-schedule for those responsibilities. He is as likely to go grocery shopping as I am, and can take all our kids to all their activities as well as I can. We use an online calendar system to make sure we are on the same page. Sometimes I work 12 or 14 or 24 hour days, and sometimes he does. We trade off responsibilities.
It does help at this point that we have two daughters old enough to babysit, but we try to minimize that during the school week. We make this work for us, and appreciate that it is a balancing act. Since we did it this way, I was able to breastfeed and mother my very little children.
The most important thing I have learned is that my husband doesn't always want to go to work. He LOVES his job. He gets really fulfilled. But more than one day per week, he'd rather stay home and read Percy Jackson with his kids, talk about science, and listen to them debate which flavor of ice cream is best. And sometimes I DON'T want to go to a birth, no matter how much I love doing it, like when we were setting up for Settlers of Catan on New Year's and I had to leave. It was a beautiful birth. But it was not with my kids.

Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, including the full original text by Lenin (Annotated) (Illustrated)
Lenin wrote "Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism" in the spring of 1916, though it was not published until the summer of 1917. The timing was fortuitous for what had been a minority view of interest to few when he wrote it had come to be a powerful message with resonance with many by the time it was published. So, although one of Lenin's shorter works, it is widely recognised as being one of his most immediately influential. The work marked a new turn in Lenin's ideology and in his understanding of economics. For most of his life, Lenin had been concerned with events and conditions in his native Russia, but now he looked at events beyond the borders of the Tsarist state and sought to find confirmation of his politico-economic views in the world of colonial superpowers. The version published here is the original 1917 version, translated from the Russian edition of Zhzni Znaniye Publishers, Petrograd, in June 1917.The introduction by historian Rupert Matthews sets the book in its historic setting and explains why it was such a profoundly influential work when it first came out.

text: Reading lots of opinions and the Pros/Cons of this new software. I've been using Logic Pro 9 for a few years now and love it. Only major con I have with Logic 9 is it is nowhere near as easy to cut/paste/edit audio tracks in multitrack as it is in Adobe Audition CS6, so I don't use Logic for radio imaging. The new software looks slick, easier to edit audio in multitrack and the mixer looks gorgeous. The Drummer plugin looks great despite me already having Drumagog, but the samples I heard sounded awesome. Here is my MBP system info. It's an early 2011 17 inch model I just purchased the 16GB RAM upgrade to speed up memory sucking apps like Logic and Premiere Pro. I guess my questions are: - Since I purchased Logic 9 from the app store, is there an upgrade price that isn't 200 bucks? Couldn't find a clear answer. - I am purchasing a new interface to work with newer versions of OSX because the one I have now sometimes chooses not to work properly with 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard is last supported OSX, interface is 5 years old). Is it worth upgrading to Mountain Lion to get Logic X? - If I do upgrade to Mountain Lion, will my system stats even with 16GB RAM work smoothly with Logic X? - Should I just purchase a new machine entirely? Eventually planning on getting a new iMac or if the new Mac Pro isn't an arm and a leg to buy, but I don't have that kind of money now. - And final question is has anyone used this and can give an honest user review? I don't use synths that often. I mostly deal with Rock/Punk/Metal bands. Thanks a lot guys. Cheers!

OLYMPIC sailing gold medallist Andrew "Bart" Simpson died as a result of an accident, a coroner has ruled.
The world of sailing was shocked when the 36-year-old from Sherborne in Dorset died in San Francisco on May 9 last year.
Mr Simpson suffered fatal injuries when his AC72 catamaran capsized during training with Artemis Racing for the America's Cup.
Loading article content
The father-of-two was performing a "bear away" manoeuvre - turning downwind - when the catamaran's port-side hull dug into the water, causing it to capsize.
Dorset Coroner's Court heard Mr Simpson was left trapped under the vessel for 10 minutes and sufferedblunt trauma to his head, neck and chest.
Members of the Artemis Racing team, who had been following in a chase boat, managed to pull Mr Simpson from the water.
However he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Richard Middleton, assistant coroner for Dorset, reached a conclusion of accidental death following a 15-minute inquest in Bournemouth.
"I am sure that it is probable Mr Simpson's cause of death arose as a consequence of a deliberate human act which has unintentionally and unexpectedly taken a turn that has led to his death," Mr Middleton said.
"Mr Simpson died as a result of an accident."
Mr Middleton offered his sympathies and condolences to Mr Simpson's wife Leah, mother to their two young sons, and his family, who attended the inquest.
"From the numerous tributes I have heard, it is clear Mr Simpson will be a tremendous loss to the sailing community," he said.
Mr Simpson won gold alongside his best friend Iain Percy at the Beijing 2008 Games, and won silver at the London 2012 Olympics.

Auckland Council workers are being told avoid the city centre if they can during demonstrations against the TPP.
Several protests and hikoi are expected to march up Queen Street and end at SkyCity, where the agreement is expected to be signed.
Auckland Council has advised staff that if they can work somewhere other than at their headquarters near SkyCity, then they should.
Police are being brought in from other districts to boost security before the official signing of the trade deal on Thursday.
An official briefing this afternoon gave scant fresh information about what was going to happen with arrangements for the signing at SkyCity.
No details were given on when the signing would take place.
Earlier a business near the venue for the signing was advised to close for the day because of threatened protests.
A barista at Tevita, opposite the Sky Tower, said SkyCity staff had advised them to close the cafe for the day of the protest and take furniture inside.
However he said they would stay open, as protests tended to be good for business.
"It does make a little bit of a distraction, you can hear them banging away and being a bit of a nuisance, but it doesn't affect us much."
Security guards working for SkyCity said plans were in place for the day, and police said that they were planning for every eventuality.
Auckland Council chief operating officer Dean Kimpton said workshops for 21 councillors and support staff may be moved to Manukau to avoid disruption, but that decision had not been made yet.

Shringar House of Mangalsutra
It started way back in 1963 when with a bagful of dreams and an extraordinary craft, Mr. Natwarlal K Thadeshwar, popularly known as 'Natubhai', travelled to Mumbai, like a million others, looking to make a name for himself.
Come 2013, "Shringar" is celebrating 50 glorious years of enhancing the bond of marriage of thousands of couples through a special jewel which holds an emotional value in every Indian's heart.
A 'Mangalsutra' enhances the aesthetic bond of marriage. The excellent skill and admirable fine art showcased in Shringar's work, they earned for itself a title "The House of Mangalsutra" in the mangalsutra industry. The mangalsutras are symbolic not only of the institution of the traditional Hindu marriage, but the sanctity of an eternal bond. It is the one that lasts seven lifetimes after being consecrated in a sacred fire and immortalised by ancient shlokas.
'Natubhai', was from 'Vichhiya' a small town in Gujarat, from a community renowned for its skill at the art of crafting exquisite gold jewellery, the 'Sonis'. With time and great talent his workshop gained renown and a loyal clientele, eventually evolving into what it is today, a thriving business with international acclaim - 'Shringar'.
A couple of decades later, in 1981, Natwarlal's son, Chetan Thadeshwar joined the business. He decided that Shringar would specialize in the art of Mangalsutra Design. He conducted extensive research and studied the history and origins of this sacred ornament to come up with the best forms possible. And soon from the traditional, simple rnangalsutra came hundreds of new designs, each unique, each an amalgam of the old and the new. In 2001, in yet another insightful shift, the business evolved from being a manufacturer to a wholesaler, exclusively selling mangalsutras.
Shringar had become a name to reckon with all across the country. By the start of the new millennium in 2010 came the next generation, Viraj Thadeshwar son of Chetan Thadeshwar, expanded their horizons even further and conquered foreign lands. Enquiries had already started flowing in from USA, UK, Dubai, New Zealand, Australia, SL, Fiji.
In 2003, with some apprehensions, but always ready to experiment, Shringar participated in IIJS a landmark event in the jewellery industry. And not unexpectedly received an overwhelming response from the visitors.
And yet, this is only the beginning, Shringar has already made its mark in the mangalsutra industry, with much more to follow.
Wishing "Shringar" and it's 50 successful years of making the bond of marriage special a very happy and even more successful future!

While the usual cast of great lines covered by Selectism are showing at Pitti Uomo this week, we're going to mix it up a bit by profiling a range of fashion brands that may or may not have been profiled. Many of them will be names familiar to our Italian readers, as well as fresh faces from our Europe.
We start it off with an Italian firm Altea, who back in 1892 started their company by producing neckties for the local market. with the necktie form pretty much solidified in premium silks, Altea put their focus on color first. Today, the same holds true in their full collection that begins with color palettes which garments are then designed around. The Altea offering is a large one with men's garments ranging from their necktie roots to knits and beyond.
View a wide selection of looks from Altea's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection in our gallery.

Not Cook's night in Boston
Not Cook's night in Boston
"His ball was dancing around, and it kept guys off balance," said Cook, who absorbed a 2-1 loss at Fenway Park in front of a sellout crowd of 37,008.
Cook (4-3) did everything an ace of an up-and-coming squad should do in the opener of a three-game Interleague series against baseball's best team, outside of the result.
Cook held the Sox to two runs on seven hits in 7 1/3 innings, escaped two-on jams three times and received polite hand claps from Fenway fans behind the Rockies' dugout.
"It was very comfortable -- it was actually one of the funniest places I've pitched," said Cook, who forced 12 ground-ball outs, which included two double plays.
"It's always hard when somebody goes out and gives that kind of effort and he gets a loss," said Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, whose club missed a chance to rise to .500, but is 3-2 on its current road trip and has won 14 of its last 22 games.
But Wakefield (6-7) limited the Rockies to one run on four hits in eight innings. Only twice did he face a runner in scoring position.
The Rockies' run came in the top of the eighth after Brad Hawpe led off with a double.
"He throws strikes and has it moving in any direction, so I closed my eyes and hit one on the barrel," said Hawpe, who scored on Yorvit Torrealba's RBI single.
Just one player in the Rockies' lineup, Todd Helton, had previously faced Wakefield, and the unfamiliarity showed.
"I didn't know the guys, [but] I know they have a pretty good lineup over there," Wakefield said. "I was just trying to get our offense back in the dugout as soon as possible."
With the game tied at 1 and David Ortiz standing at the plate in the eighth inning, Hurdle replaced Cook with left-hander Jeremy Affeldt.
Even though Cook was rolling and felt strong after 119 pitches, the move had plenty of justification. Ortiz had two singles and a walk against Cook, and Affeldt had dominated Ortiz to the tune of 0-for-12 with four strikeouts and no walks.
"We felt like it was the proper time," Hurdle said.
However, Affeldt left a 1-1 pitch over the plate that Ortiz drove to right-center for a double.
"I put it on a tee for him; it was the pitch he was looking for, and the pitch I didn't want to throw," said Affeldt, who wanted to entice Ortiz to swing at a pitch outside the strike zone.
After an intentional walk, J.D. Drew lifted a sacrifice fly for the go-ahead run. Jonathan Papelbon, who picked up his 15th save, protected the lead with a perfect ninth, which he finished with a strikeout of Helton.

Verses with the word shined in the New Testament (3 verses):
Acts 9:3
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Acts 12:7
And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
