Подготовка к Дню Святого Валентина
Published: February 2nd 2013Europe » Netherlands » South Holland » RotterdamИтак, подготовку к дню влюбленных считаю открытой. Пока что только забронировала дорогущий отель на день и думаю что надо брать на два, но дешевле. А вот и немного советов по теме: ... read more
I was in the cinema, watching So undercovr with Miley and when the movie was over, TOnny picked me up and took to the biking event. Unfortunetelly, I do not remember the name of the place but it was a big stadium, that I found impressive. Competition was still in action and I unexpectadly got a lot of pleasure watching. Noticed that i was also curious about rules and even picked team I liked the best.... read more
The place that confronted me 1,5 years ago with all sorts of problems and where I saw the meaninglessness of the path I was on in life, is the same place where I have managed to find the path toward becoming whole again. This is an unlikely story which still seems unreal when talking about it. Back then India managed to break down all of what I thought was my real personality, initiating a time of despair. The personality and the mask I was wearing back then was crushed into pieces, making the trip to India one of my last real attempts at seeking happiness in the external world. The same India is the 'place' where I have found meaning and joy in life, away from material desires and into the depths of inner wisdom. Inside ... read more
Last week someone said: "When death approaches we realize how powerless we are." I think there are two ways of approaching this. On the hand there is the external world, in which we can control things up to a certain point, give some direction to our life, but (in most cases) the major turning points in life are the ones which we have no control over. When death arrives, this powerlessness hits us. But it can be beautiful too, a time in which people open up, become more real, as if they take off the masks they have been wearing all their life. Somehow in my experiences with loss I always got this nice feeling of peace. Then there is the internal approach to death. I think here we can have a lot of control over ... read more
Floating on the 'Boom' Boat
Published: August 29th 2012Europe » Netherlands » South Holland » RotterdamBoom Festival in my words… ...an alternative reality …Europe's Goa …a result of the 60s flower power, sort of 'modernized' hippies …love all, exclude none …discovering a world of opportunities …unity …peace …creating, sharing, loving …nothing to do, nowhere to go, just be! Boom festival is a gathering of conscious minds. One week of expressing and experiencing the field of consciousness expansion. From Permaculture to trance dancing, from lectures to psychedelics, from Yoga to nutritious food, from natural medicine to meditation. This is Boom in a few words. When entering the Boom ground (in Portugal's beautiful, deserted, unspoiled mid-land), I had this immediate sense of something special coming up. Having never experienced a transformational festival before, the idea was just to remain open-minded and jump into the experience wi... read more
The Natural Tendency for Depth
Published: July 18th 2012Europe » Netherlands » South Holland » RotterdamIts been a couple of months since my last blog. The problem is that so much information comes in on a daily basis, so many different ideas and thoughts which are worth sharing. And its usually also not easy to transfer this wisdom into my own words. Sometimes I come across books, music and movies which can describe something so accurately for that particular moment, that it blows my mind. In one of the chapters of Aldous Huxley's brilliant book called Brave New World (written in 1932) the topic of religion is discussed. He uses a quote from another brilliant scholar William James: "They say that it is fear of death and of what comes after that makes men turn to religion as they advance in years. But my own experience has given me the conviction ... read more
Holland Again, and It's All Over Bar the Jetlag!
Published: July 4th 2012Europe » Netherlands » South Holland » RotterdamFabulous time back in Holland! Bit of a saga getting there, with track work which delayed us after Brussels, and involved two extra train changes and Will having to pick me up in a different city,... but I made it. He bundled me into the car and drove us (at breakneck speed, to make up lost time) to Zaltbommel Church, where he was rehearsing and then playing in a beautiful Bach Cantata. It was such a lovely church with great acoustics, and my brother was playing so wonderfully, that I was moved to tears. As usual! He makes me feel so proud, which is ridiculous really, because I obviously can't take any of the credit for his talent and success, but nevertheless, there it is! Pride is a funny thing... Monday we just ... read more
...y mi primero blog en español! Lo siento porque voy a hacer muchos errores! Héctor y yo tenemos muchos problemas con nuestros pasaportes. Yo no puedo vivir o trabajar en Holanda después de Julio. Tengo que volver a Inglaterra (o Nueva Zelanda). Él tiene que quedarse en Holanda porque está trabajando en un programa que tarda tres años. Pero no quiero vivir en Londres sola. Extrañaría mucho a Héctor. Creo que si no puedo vivir con él, pues voy a hacer el mejor de este momento, cuando no tengo un trabajo pero tengo un poco de dinero. Quiero hacer algo divertido, preferiblemente en un lugar con el Sol. (El verano en Holanda es un chiste). Me encanta viajar, y además me gustaría a poder de hablar en español.

The worst decision of my life????
Published: June 5th 2012Europe » Netherlands » South Holland » RotterdamSome might say I made a bad call when I accepted the job offer in Rotterdam last year. I had a very stable, enjoyable job at a large international company in London, one of the greatest cities in the world. I had friends and family, amazing colleagues, played sport, went out often, and lived in my own flat. In mid-2012 I resigned, and in September I made the move to Rotterdam, a port city in the Netherlands, to work for a local utility company. I couldn't speak the language making it difficult to integrate into the culture and make friends. I missed my colleagues, family and friends from the UK and NZ. The weather was even worse than in the UK (hard to believe but I swear it is true). My car was broken into. My ... read more
No, I didn't make friends with a local, but almost as good, one of my best friends from London came to visit for the weekend. Miss Sophie Beattie arrived early on Thursday afternoon, and after dumping her things at my place we headed out on foot to see the 'sights' of Rotterdam. Ten minutes and a few cube houses later, it was reassuring to note that nothing had changed in our respective behaviours and we were catching up over a beer in a cafe near the Oude Haven (it was raining honest!) We continued to sample Belgium's finest lagers and ales until hunger kicked in, and we headed home to cook up a Mexican burrito feast, accompanied of course, by nothing other than some home-made frozen Margheritas. This endeavour was further encouraged by our resident Colombian ... read more

Ohio State Football: Five Fall Camp Position Battles to Watch
By Will Frasure ,
The Buckeyes have most of their positions figured out, but there are still some leftover battles from spring carrying over to fall.
With fall camp only weeks away, these players know that they are primed for intense position battles once fall camp begins. After not distinguishing themselves during spring ball, these players will get a second chance in August.
Questions still remain at many important positions, especially left tackle and strongside linebacker. Other spots include receiver, Star (linebacker/safety hybrid), and running back.
Most of the pieces for a dominant 2010 Buckeye team are intact. Now, these guys will look to finish the puzzle.
Whoever wins this battle won't have a huge effect on the Buckeyes' success, but it will still provide an interesting competition.
Boom Herron and Brandon Saine will receive the bulk of the carries this season. The third running back will spell them and provide depth.
Right now, the front-runner has to be Jordan Hall, whose 248 yards last season were third among rushers on Ohio State.
Hall was a high school teammate of Terrelle Pryor and looked comfortable with his Jeannette teammate last season. He's an agile back with unexpected toughness.
Two rushers will come on strong against him, however.
Jaamal Berry was considered a better prospect coming into last season, but never recovered from a tweaked hamstring in fall camp. He never had a chance to make an impact in 2009, but is fully recovered this time around.
Carlos Hyde offers a bruising style, contrary to what the above runners provide. Hyde was supposed to come in last season but was held back due to academic reasons.
He and Jermil Martin are seen as darkhorses in this race.
It basically comes down to Hall and Berry. With his experience, you can't deny Hall the chance unless Berry has an amazing training camp.
Winner: Hall
The competition for third receiver got a lot murkier with the departure of Duron Carter.
Carter and Washington were primed for competition after the transferred receiver had severe academic troubles that kept him out of spring practice. Now, Washington is left to compete with speedster Chris Fields for the position.
Washington has been waiting for his chance at receiver after failing to secure the spot multiple times throughout his career.
If he can't get the job done now, look for Fields to get the nod. The receiver is a superb downfield threat and looked impressive in the spring.
Washington will get the initial look, but if he fades, Fields will be ready to make an impact.
Winner: Washington
No one will forget how gruesome and awful Moeller's freak head injury was last year.
But now, he has to chance to come full-circle. After almost being knocked out of football forever, Moeller has the chance to end his career as a starter.
With Ohio State using an extra defensive back on almost 70 percent of its plays last season, the Star position can be considered one of the most important positions on the team.
If Moeller can take the physical punishment of the position, he should secure it. He weighs around 215 pounds and possesses the combination of size and speed needed to succeed at Star.
Oliver will contest him, however. The athletic safety played Star throughout spring camp when Moeller sat out and looked adequate.
Moeller looks to have the position secured. If he's not ready to come back, Oliver will be waiting.
Winner: Moeller
Austin Spitler graduated, leaving a vacancy at one of the outside linebacker spots.
As it stands now, the two likely candidates are Etienne Sabino and Andrew Sweat.
Sabino seemed to pull ahead in the spring, when he made tons of plays from the spot. His inability to read and react was his biggest problem before, but it appears that he's loosened up and let the game come to him.
Sabino's athleticism has always been there. He's tall and possesses top-notch speed, which he showed by playing some Star in spring ball.
His athleticism could get Sabino more action during spread plays when the third safety usually comes in.
Sweat will challenge him, though. The hard-working linebacker missed spring camp due to ACL surgery, but will give Sabino a run for his money.
He definitely has fallen behind after missing the spring, but is known for his toughness and work ethic. He won't back down from getting the spot.
Sabino, however, brings too much to the table to deny.
Winner: Sabino
This will prove to be the most interesting competition of them all this fall.
Adams was a highly-touted recruit out of Dublin Coffman, but has never lived up to the immense expectations thrust upon him.
Last season looked to be the year that would come together. Instead, suspensions and injuries stunted his progress.
Andrew Miller subbed in efficiently for him until the flu marred him of weight and strength. Graduated Jim Cordle took over for the rest of the year.
Both had their struggles throughout the spring, showing some weaknesses against the pass rushers of the Buckeye defense. They usually rotated as starters each day, but it appeared Adams had gained some separation towards the end.
The separation wasn't big enough to rule Adams the starter for the fall, however. Offensive line coach Jim Bollman won't just be handing the starting position to him.
Watch for this to be a highly contested match in the fall. Adams is likely to win, but Miller can gain the upper hand if he falters, although he is best suited as a backup that provides depth at guard and tackle.
Winner: Adams

snowmobile insurance
Enter ZIP
Call 1-866-455-1980
Fast, fun, and frigid: riding a snowmobile can be a blast, but it can also be dangerous. That means risk of injury, property damage, and liability. A snowmobile insurance policy can protect you from those dangers — you'll just have to protect yourself from the ones out on those wintry trails.
Snowmobile insurance requirements vary by state. Some states, such as Vermont and New York, require minimum liability coverage to ride on public lands or roadways. But some states, such as Minnesota, don't require insurance at all.
If you just want to make sure you're on the right side of the law, check with your state's department of natural resources to find out whether you're required to insure your sled. But even if insurance isn't required in your state, protecting your snowmobile, your passengers, and yourself is always a smart move.
We work hard to customize a policy that suits your needs — whether it's from Esurance or through our partner. That means the coverages you want and need at a price you can afford. From the adrenaline junkie who needs a daily fix to the weekend warrior, we'll help you find the perfect protection.

Q:This year on my trail cameras I snapped a pic of a bachelor group of bucks still in velvet. A 8, 6, and a spike. I haven't seen the spike or the 6 point since. But on my property I've seen a button buck and a 4 point. Here's the question. The 8 point is still around because I run into him on the road sometimes still with the does. He's been with the well before the rut had even started the does come into the bait pile only after dark. How do I bring the big 8 into the property during the daytime? The four point comes in all the time during the day. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Each of the manipulatable members isformed at one end with a plurality of fingers defining a circle, and at the opposite end with a circular recess dimensioned to detachably and rotably receive the fingers of another like member, enabling a plurality of the members to be assembled by theplayer, according to any desired sequence, and to be rotated while so assembled to any desired angular position with respect to each other. Each of the manipulatable members carries on different regions of its outer face indicia representing one elementof a valid multi-element relationship produced only when the indicia of all the manipulatable members are aligned according to a predetermined sequence and predetermined angular positions with respect to each other. According to further important features of the invention, each of the manipulatable members is of hollow construction and is formed with a central opening circumscribed by the plurality of fingers in one end of the manipulatable member, and acircular recess on the inner face of the opposite end of the manipulatable member for detachably receiving the fingers of another like member. The two ends of each manipulatable member are formed with complementary retainer means to releasably retainattached members in their rotated angular positions. For this purpose, the plurality of fingers are configured such that when received in the circular recess in the inner face of another like manipulable member, they urge the two so-attached manipulablemembers axially toward each other. The complementary retainer means comprise axially-projecting projections formed in one end of each manipulatable member and complementary detents formed in the opposite end. Several embodiments of the invention are described below for purposes of example. In one described embodiment, each manipulatable member has "n" different regions around its outer periphery, the different regions of some of the manipulatable members carrying indicia representing the numbers 1-n, respectively, in differentsequences, and the different region of others of the manipulatable members carrying indicia representing various arithmetical operations, the valid multi-element relationship being a correct solutiong to an arithmetic equation represented by the indiciaon all the aligned regions of all the attached manipulatable members. In a second described embodiment, the different regions of the outer face of one of the manipulatable members carry indicia representing a plurality of different starting points, and the different regions of the remaining manipulatable memberscarrying indicia in the form of different arrangements of symbols selectively alignable with the symbols of adjacent manipulatable members, the valid multi-element relationship representing at least one continuous path of like symbols starting from atleast one of the starting points of the one manipulatable member. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention is herein described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: FIG. 1 illustrates a simple form of puzzle-type game constructed in accordance with the present invention; FIG. 2 more particularly illustrates the construction of each of the manipulatable members in the game of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 illustrates a more complicated game construction in accordance with the present invention; FIG. 4 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention wherein the indicia are in the form of alphabetical characters to permit the correct spelling of one or more words; FIG. 5 illustrates another version wherein the manipulatable members are of circular cross-section; FIG. 6 illustrates the construction at the two ends of each manipulatable member to enable a plurality of like members to be assembled by the players according to any desired sequence and to be rotated to any desired angular position; FIG. 7 is a sectional view illustrating the attaching ends of two like members; and FIG. 8 is a view illustrating a further embodiment wherein the indicia define a maze. DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The puzzle-type game illustrated in FIG. 1 includes five manipulatable members M1 -M5 attached to each other to form a straight line. The illustrated members M1 -M5 are of cubical or hexahedron configuration, therebyproviding four peripheral faces or regions 10 and two end faces 12 and 14 (FIG. 2). The end faces 12 and 14 are formed respectively, with a plurality of fingers defining a circle, and with a circular recess dimensioned to detachably and rotatablyreceive the fingers of another like member. The arrangement is such as to permit the manipulatable members to be selectively attached to each other according to any desired sequence and angular position by inserting the fingers of one into the circularrecess of another. As shown particularly in FIG. 2, end face 12 includes two curved fingers or ribs 16 lying on a circle. The circular recess 18 in the opposite end face 14 has a diameter equal to the radius of curvature of fingers 16. Thus, the two fingers 16 onone member (e.g. M1) may be received within the circular recess 18 of another member (e.g. M2) in order to attach these two members together, and also to permit one to be rotated with respect to the other to align any one of the four outerfaces 10 of one member with respect to any one of the four peripheral faces of the other. Each of the four peripheral faces or regions 10 of each member M1 -M5 carries indicia representing one element of a valid multi-element relationship produced only when all the members are in a predetermined sequence and angular positionwith respect to each other. In the example illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the valid multi-element relationship represents a correct solution to an arithmetic equation. Therefore, some of the members include indicia representing numerical characters, andothers include indicia representing arithmetical operations. In the example illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, members M1, M3 and M5 include the numbers "1-4", but in different sequences; and members M2 and M4 include arithmeticaloperations. In this example, member M2 includes the arithmetical operations: add ( ), subtract (-), multiply (×), and divide (:); whereas member M4 includes an equal sign (=) on all four of its peripheral faces 10. The five members M1 -M5 must be assembled in the correct sequence as illustrated in FIG. 1, and must also be rotated to the correct angular position so as to align their indicia carrying faces 10 in certain positions to provide acorrect solution to an arithmetical equation. In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a correct solution of the game or puzzle require that all four faces of the members define correct arithmetical relationships. FIG. 3 illustrates a more complicated version wherein the game includes nine manipulatable members Ma -Mi all of cubical shape. The indicia carried on the outer faces or regions 34 of members Ma -Mi are also in the form ofnumerical characters or arithmetical operations so that when the members are properly aligned and in the proper sequence, the indicia represent the correct solution of an arithmetical solution. As in the arrangement of FIGS. 1 and 2, some of the members(Ma, Mc, Me, Mg and Mi) carry the members 1-4; whereas the remaining members carry indicia representing arithmetical operations. FIG. 3 illustrates the members in their proper sequence and proper angular positions, wherein it will be seen that both lines of faces 34 seen in FIG. 3 represent correct solutions to arithmetic equations. Table 1 below sets forth the indiciacarried on all four sides of each member and there respective positions, both sequential and angular, to which the members must be manipulated in order to produce a correct solution to the game: TABLE 1 ______________________________________ Ma Mb Mc Md Me Mf Mg Mh Mi ______________________________________ (a) 3 × 2 ÷ 2 - 2 = 1 (b) 2 - 3 × 1 4 = 3 (c) 1 ÷ 1 3 ÷ 3 = 2 (d) 4 4 - 4 × 1 = 4 ______________________________________ One of the rules of play is that multiplication and division are performed before addition and subtraction. It will thus be seen that, in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, a correct solution of the puzzle requires that a correct arithmetical equation be displayed on all four sides of the members. The manipulatable members could include a different number of indicia-carrying regions or faces, and could also include other forms of indicia. FIG. 4 shows the indicia layout of one manipulatable member in the form of a cube having fourindicia-carrying peripheral regions or faces 42, and also having indicia in the form of alphabetical characters, rather than numbers and arithmetical operations as in FIGS. 1-3. Preferably, the game would include a larger number of such manipulatablemembers, for example 26 or more, and one face of at least some, or preferably all, of the manipulatable members would be blank, as shown by face 44 in FIG. 4, to signify the end of a word. FIG. 5 illustrates a game also including 9 manipulatable members, therein designated 51-59, but each being of hollow construction and of circular cross-section. One end of each manipulatable member (represented by the illustrated end of member51 in FIGS. 6 and 7) is formed with a plurality of fingers 60 circumscribing the opening in that end of the member, and the opposite end of each member (represented by the illustrated end of member 52 in FIGS. 6 and 7) is formed with a circular recess 62on the inner face of the member for detachably receiving the fingers 60 of another like member. The two ends of each manipulatable member are also formed with complementary retainer means to releasably retain the two attached members in each of their rotated angular positions. Such retainer means comprise an axially-extending projection 64integrally formed in the end illustrated by member 51, and a complementary detent 66 formed in the opposite end illustrated by member 52. Each of the manipulatable members has four indicia-bearing regions on their outer faces and is selectivelypositionable to any one of four angular positions; accordingly, there are four projections 64 formed in one end of each member, and four detents 66 formed in the opposite end. Fingers 60, and recess 62 receiving them, are both shaped such that when the projections are received in the circular recess, the two manipulatable members are urged towards each other by the inherent resiliency of the fingers. Projections 64formed in the end of member 51 is thus urged against the end of member 52 until they snap into the detents 66 formed in the latter to releasably retain the two attached members in their selected angular positions. For purposes of example, it will be seen that the indicia illustrated in the construction of FIG. 5 is the same as illustrated in the construction of FIG. 3. FIG. 8 illustrates a further variation wherein the construction of the manipulatable members is the same as described above with respect to FIGS. 5-7, but the indicia carried on the different regions of the outer faces of the manipulatablemembers represent a maze rather than arithmetical operations. Thus, the FIG. 8 game also includes nine manipulatable members 81-89 constructed as described in FIGS. 5-7 enabling them to be assembled according to any desired sequence and to be rotated to any desired angular position. In the arrangement ofFIG. 8, however, one manipulatable member 81 is formed with a plurality of selectable starting points, represented by arrows 90, and the remaining manipulatable members 82-89 are formed with different arrangements of various symbols. In the exampleillustrated there are three types of symbols, namely a circle 91, a square 92 and a triangle 93. The player assembles the manipulatable members according to any desired sequence, and rotates them to any selected angular position, in an attempt toprovide a correct solution represented by at least one continuous path of like elements starting from at least one of the arrows 90 in member 81 and continuing through the maze represented by the symbols in the remaining members 82-89 to the oppositeend. It will be appreciated that instead of, or together with, symbols of different configurations, there could also be used different colors. Many other variations, modifications and applications of the invention will be apparent. |

Free Press Staff Writer
Armen Abalian came all the way from his home in Warsaw, Poland, to the save Americas animals.
He began a three-month bike tour in South Hero this October to raise money and awareness for organizations and shelters that are working to reduce euthanasia rates for homeless pets across the country.
California native Abalain, 43, will bike 62 miles in each state, except for Alaska and Hawaii, in a tour he named Biking for Animals.
Self-proclaimed animal lover Abalian said he strongly respects other animals right to live.
Most people dont realize how many healthy animals are euthanized, Abalain said.About four million healthy pets are killed in American shelters every year, and Id like to help change the system, and since I enjoy cycling, I decided that this would be a perfect medium for my fundraising efforts.
Abalian set a goal to raise $1,000 for three organizations in each state he tours. In Vermont he is biking for Burlingtons Humane Society of Chittenden County, Vermont Companion Animal Neutering in Middlesex, and Homeward Bound Animal Welfare Center in Middlebury.
I have never done anything like this before, he said.I have rescued four cats and have helped many people financially over the years to adopt animals.
Abalian is a self-employed web designer.
After Vermont he headed to Manchester, NH, then to the coast. His final tour will be in Houston, Texas on Dec. 11.
I just want everyone to look at their pets and see how much they love them, and then to think about all of those pets who need a home, he said.

Riding the Virat tide - Infographic
Virat Kohli has had a dream run of sorts in all the three formats of the game. He has had a prolific season scoring 1733 runs in just 31 matches which include 8 centuries and 6 half-centuries. Undoubtedly he was the panel's choice for ICC's ODI Cricketer of the year award. After the departure of Dravid team India was on the lookout for a solid number 3 batsman, he has managed to fill his boots pretty convincingly. From a young U-19 player he has become team India's blue eyed boy by grabbing early opportunities provided.
His purple patch still continues in the T20 World Cup with scores of 40, 50 and 75*in the last three games he has played. Here's a small infographic which tells you more about his stupendous form this season.

Coolant System Services
Your car's engine is designed to run at a certain temperature, and not any hotter or cooler. That's why your engine has a cooling system. To keep the engine's temperature at safe levels, a mixture of engine coolant and water circulates from the radiator to the engine. If you think your engine is overheating, your cooling system may require service. The problem can be from low coolant levels, coolant leaks, or parts that need replacement. Speedy's certified technicians will inspect your car's cooling system to determine what needs to be fixed and get your car's engine back to its normal operating temperature.

Electrical repairs become more complex by the year as newer cars feature more intricate wiring systems.

Engine Services
You're driving along in your car and suddenly without warning, the "check engine" light illuminates. Seeing this indicator come on can be alarming as it doesn't tell the driver much about what's going on. If your car stalls or starts smoking, safely pull over and stop the engine. If your car seems to run fine even after the "check engine" light comes on, don't ignore it. Your car has an onboard computer diagnostic system that keeps a lookout for problems so the "check engine" light must have turned on for a reason. The certified specialists at Speedy have the expertise to identify and solve any engine problem you may be experiencing.

Full Service Oil Change
While every car's oil change schedule varies, the general rule of thumb is to have your oil changed every 3,000 miles to keep your car running smoothly. While all of your vehicle's parts are moving, they generate a substantial amount of friction, which causes your engine to get very hot. Engine oil lubricates the moving parts under your hood to keep the engine from overheating. Whenever you are due for an oil change, come by Speedy Auto Service Center and let us replace your oil. Our "Speedy" service speaks for itself and your car will thank you!
Services offered:
• Oil & Filter (Full Range of Lubricants)
• Chassis Lube
Exhaust Repair & Replacement
Exhaust systems are designed to reduce the amount of noise generated by your car's engine.

There are many factors that can cause your exhaust system to wear out over time.
Services offered:
• Complete Diagnosis & Repair
• Exhaust Pipes

For new tires or tire repair, visit your closest Speedy Auto Service Center and let one of our certified technicians assist you.

You may have a transmission problem.

OUR VIEW: Future in doubt, but United Solar made a difference
We're all hoping for the best, but the outlook isn't good for the future of United Solar Ovonics in Greenville. While we wish things were different, the fact is we are living in a time where nothing is guaranteed. That could be said for all the times we've lived in, but it is always more painful in the present. As for United Solar and Greenville, it hasn't been a bad ride at all. People who took advantage of the opportunity presented by forward-looking USO received invaluable screening and training with Montcalm Community College and even more by the company itself. The experience has spurred confidence and the desire to keep moving forward in folks who perhaps would not otherwise have been inspired to do so.

Town of Marvels
June 27, 2013 | by Rosecrans Baldwin
The boy and the girl were engaged, driving to California, where the girl wanted to make costumes for the movies. The boy planned to study Native American archaeology; he was just out of the Navy. They were the sort of young people I felt accurate calling beautiful—good-looking, around twenty years old, in love. But it was more than that. The fact is, it's sustaining, getting older, to meet young adults who are hopeful and naïve, just enough.
They had a car, a dog, a vision. But they didn't have a book. Leaving New England, they'd heard about a certain book on NPR, and the girl thought it sounded just right. The boy said they'd find a copy on the road somewhere. They drove for days, heading south from New Hampshire: Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee. No book. The girl pressed. The boy promised. Bookstores don't exactly dot the American highway in the grand manner of Sbarros. Finally, driving through Mississippi, seeing a sign for Oxford, the boy suggested they stop, stretch their legs, find the damn book. Oxford was a university town, there had to be a bookstore somewhere.
They parked in the tiny main square. A bookstore stood on the corner under a sign for Fortune's Famous Ice Cream. The girl walked the dog, the boy went inside. He asked, Do you have this book?
We do, the clerk said. And there it was, right next to the register, a stack of them. The clerk said, Do you want a signed copy?
I guess so, the boy said.
Wait, but you do know the author was here tonight, right? He just did a reading, the clerk said after a moment. It was about seven P.M., the verge of dusk. The boy was confused. Suddenly, the clerk was pointing out the window, saying, Wait, that's him going by right there.
No one really knows the value of book tours. Whether or not they're good ideas, or if they improve book sales. I happen to think the author is the last person you'd want to talk to about a book; they hate it by that point, they've already moved on to a new lover. Besides, the author never knows what the book is about anyway. Read More »
Faulkner, Cubed
June 11, 2013 | by Lindsay Gellman
Today, Sotheby's is auctioning off a collection of sixteen letters and ten postcards that William Faulkner wrote from Europe to his family in Oxford, Mississippi, chronicling his first trip to the Continent in the early fall of 1925. The collection of handwritten correspondence—which includes sketched self-portraits, as well as Faulkner's musings on growing a beard ("makes me look sort of distinguished") and dining alone in his hotel room ("here I sit with spaghetti")—is expected to fetch between $250,000 and $350,000.
The collection seems to provide glimpses of a relatable, human Faulkner: a twenty-eight-year-old who went to nightclubs, griped about money, and signed off as "Billy." Yet the letters also hint at the profound influence that this trip—specifically, the modernist painting Faulkner first saw in Paris—would have on his fiction. In a letter dated September 22, 1925, he writes, "I have seen Rodin's museum, and two private collections of Matisse and Picasso (who are yet alive and painting) as well as numberless young and struggling moderns. And Cézanne! That man dipped his brush in light …" Read More »

Southern Holiday, Part 3
March 20, 2013 | by Sam Stephenson
Mississippi and New Orleans were on my horizon. Light in August and Streetcar Named Desire were on my mind. That is to say, Gene Smith was back in the mix. The morality and narrative techniques of Faulkner and Williams influenced his photography: he taped the text of Faulkner's Nobel speech to the wall above his desk in his dilapidated Sixth Avenue loft and considered Williams's oft-maligned, rarely seen Camino Real a pinnacle of American theater. Plus, he once made a portrait of Williams in a pool, swimming the backstroke naked with an apparent erection (try that aquatic feat, literary lads). The fog of Smith had returned to my Southern holiday road trip.
After an overnight stop in Mobile, Alabama, my destination was Laurel, Mississippi, south of Jackson and north of New Orleans. Laurel was the fictional hometown of Streetcar's Blanche DuBois and her sister, Stella, and the site of their family estate, Belle Reve. It was Blanche's loss of Belle Reve after the war that sent her to steamy, bedraggled New Orleans to stay with Stella and her ape-husband Stanley Kowalski. The rest is theater history. I wanted to spend some time in Laurel and then follow Blanche's path into New Orleans. Read More »
Blue Eyes in Watertown
March 14, 2013 | by Matt Domino
No one under the age of fifty really listens to Frank Sinatra anymore. Like anything else, there may be exceptions to this fact, but overall it's true. Frank Sinatra is a legendary artist whose work will always be enjoyed and referred to. However, his era of direct relevancy is obviously long gone, and his era of anecdotal relevancy is starting to fade.
We associate Frank Sinatra with a bygone era of America, a time of guys and dolls, a time when people would swing and dance and when the lounge singer was king. Sinatra's unique talent was maintaining this vision even as it eroded away over time—to make you feel old-fashioned feelings in a modern era. Sinatra's heyday was from the late forties to the late fifties, yet he recorded "New York, New York" in 1977. And "My Way" makes you feel like a proud man looking over the skyline of post–World War II Manhattan, even in 2013.
Still, Sinatra's most overlooked achievement is perhaps the one album he made that did not feel as though it was evoking the era he loved or knew the most. In 1969, the same year that Frank Sinatra recorded "My Way," he released an album called Watertown. Chances are, even some of the biggest Sinatra fans—like my grandparents and great aunts and uncles—have forgotten about Watertown. But Watertown is Frank Sinatra's best album and his most enduring contribution to American culture. Read More »

can the erg valve cause my truck not too start. It will only make a clicking noise when I try to start it. Will not turn over.
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I can hear the clicking noise when i try to start my truck. If you feel the erg valve you can actually feel it each time it clicks when trying to start it. I have a new battery and have cleaned and checked all the battery terminals, etc. I feel confident that it is not battery related.

look for a starter relay. try tapping on it then try to start it.. if it starts then replace the relay..
Andrew answered about a year ago
A clicking noise when attepting to start is the starter solenoid clicking because it's not getting enough power. Check connections on the starter itself and all ground connections for the battery to the engine and frame. The EGR doesnt prevent the starter from turning. There is some problem with the starting system either a bad connection or solenoid. The relay will either work or not, if the starter is clicking the relay is working.

Supreme Court set to take up massive Wal-Mart discrimination case
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will decide whether 1.5 million women can form a 'class' that faced the same injury – in this case, gender-based discrimination by Wal-Mart – or not.
(Page 2 of 2)
"The class members – potentially millions of women supervised by tens of thousands of different managers and employed in thousands of different stores throughout the country – assert highly individualized, fact-intensive claims for monetary relief that are subject to individualized statutory defenses," said Theodore Boutrous of Los Angeles in his brief on behalf of Wal-Mart.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
He added that the claims made by the designated class representatives "cannot conceivably be typical of the claims of the strangers they seek to represent."
The women's lawyer, Brad Seligman of Berkeley, Calif., countered in his brief that Wal-Mart wants to break the class action down into store-level cases. "This outcome would not only waste judicial resources," he wrote, "it would deprive plaintiffs of the ability to challenge and seek relief from Wal-Mart's systematic, company-wide practices."
Mr. Seligman says that the average individual claim represents an annual wage loss of $1,100. Standing alone such a claim would be too small to pursue, he said in the brief.
Wal-Mart is the nation's largest private employer, with 41 regions, 400 districts, 3,400 stores, and more than a million employees. Each store employs from 80 to 500 workers. Hourly employees work in 53 departments and 170 job classifications. The company had sales of $405 billion last year and net income of $14 billion.
At its core, the class action suit accuses Wal-Mart's top management of fostering an old-boy network and a corporate culture infused with gender stereotyping. This culture existed company-wide and was evident in promotion and pay decisions made at the regional and store level, Seligman says. The result was that female workers companywide were treated as second-class employees, according to Seligman.
Female employees, on average, were better performers and more experienced than male workers, yet their pay at Wal-Mart "lags far behind" male employees in every major job, Seligman says.
"Women at Wal-Mart also face a classic glass ceiling," he wrote. "While women comprise over 80 percent of hourly supervisors, they hold only one-third of store management jobs and their ranks steadily diminish at each successive step in the management hierarchy."
Wal-Mart responds that its company-wide policies forbid discrimination and promote diversity. The plaintiffs' statistical analysis does not measure whether store-level employment decisions were, in fact, discriminatory, the company's lawyers say.
From 1995 to 2001, they say, women throughout the US were paid 77 percent of what men were paid. In comparison, the plaintiff's statistics show Wal-Mart paid women 85 to 95 percent of men's salaries during that same period, they say.
They say that at the retail store level, women comprised two-thirds of all managers and were two-thirds of all employees.
Wal-Mart's lawyers say the plaintiffs' case is built on a deceptive statistical analysis and anecdotes of "a smattering of isolated incidents dating back to the 1980s."
They say the plaintiffs are unable to prove that Wal-Mart maintained a company-wide policy disfavoring women and that the company's managers engaged in intentional acts of discrimination.

Review: Asus Eee Pad tablet transforms into laptop

Nexus 7 review
Posted on July 31, 2013 | No CommentsIn the 1982 sci-fi film "Blade Runner," there are hints that the hero, played by Harrison Ford, is an artificial human – an "android" or "replicant." His job is to go out and kill other, rogue androids. If he"s an android, he"s of the most recent model, Nexus 7. That"s likewise the name Google Inc. has actually chosen for the first tablet to bear the Google brand. Plainly, its objective...

The music of the Baroque Period is even more popular today than it was four hundred years ago. Its unique styles, textures, and forms enchant and delight millions of listeners each year. From Bach to Sammartini, each composer on this list greatly influenced the shape and course of classical music. And though I would love to include the many other Baroque Period composers because they, too, had a great impact on the music, there's just not enough room in a Top 10 list.
1. Johann Sebastian Bach
Coming in at number one is Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach was a genius keyboardist (mastering the organ and harpsichord) and brilliant composer. Bach brought baroque music to its culmination, writing music for nearly every type of musical form.Popular Works: Air on a G String, Double Violin Concerto, Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, B Minor Mass, and The Unaccompanied Cello Suites
2. George Frideric Handel
Born in the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach in a town fifty miles away, George Frideric Handel, who later became a British citizen, lead a much different life than Bach. Handel, too, composed for every musical genre of his time, even creating the English oratorio.Popular Works: The Messiah, Music for the Royal Fireworks, and Water Music
3. Antonio Vivaldi
Vivaldi wrote over 500 concertos and is believed to have invented ritornello form (a theme returning throughout the piece). However, much of Vivaldis music lay undiscovered until the early 1930s; this newly discovered music earned Vivaldi the title The Viennese Counterpart to Bach and Handel.Popular Works: The Four Seasons, Gloria, and Con Alla Rustica in G
4. George Philipp Telemann
A good friend of both Bach and Handel, George Philipp Telemann was also a distinguished musician and composer of his time. Telemanns incorporation of unusual instrumentation in his concertos is one of the things that that made him unique.Popular Works: Viola Concerto in G, Trio Sonata in C minor, and the Paris Quartets
5. Arcangelo Corelli
Arcangelo Corelli was an Italian teacher, violinist, and composer. Corellis mastery of the tone of the newly invented violin earned him great reviews throughout Europe. He is coined to have been the first person to create basic violin technique.Popular Works: Concerto Grossi, Christmas Concerto, and Sonata de camera in D minor
6. Henry Purcell
Within a lifetime of only thirty-five years, Purcell achieved musical greatness by being considered one of Englands greatest composers and the most original composer of his time. Purcell was extremely talented in word-setting and composed very successful works for stage.Popular Works: Dido & Aeneas, The Fairy Queen, and Sound the Trumpet
7. Domenico Scarlatti
Domenico Scarlatti, son of Alessandro Scarlatti (another well-known baroque composer), wrote 555 known harpsichord sonatas, of which, over half was written in the last six years of his life. Scarlatti made use of Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish dance rhythms throughout many of his works.Popular Works: Essercizi per Gravicembalo (sonatas for harpsichord)
8. Jean-Philippe Rameau
A French composer, Jean-Philippe Rameaus music was known for its bold melodic lines and harmonies. Aside from harpsichord, Rameaus greatest contribution to music was in tragédie lyrique opera. His wide use of moods and musical colors were beyond those of his counterparts.Popular Works: Hippolyte et Aricie and Castor et Pollux, Trait, and Les Indes galantes
9. Johann Pachelbel
Johann Pachelbel taught Johann Christoph Bach (J.S. Bachs older brother) music. J.C. Bach said that J.S. Bach greatly admired Pachelbels music. Pachelbels music is considered by many to be stylistically related to J.S. Bachs.Popular Works: Pachelbel Canon, Chaconne in F minor, and Toccata in C minor for organ
10. Giovanni Battista Sammartini
Giovanni Battista Sammartini is one of the earliest composers of the symphony (sixty-eight of them have survived). Many believe his symphonic works and thematic development are the precursors to Hayd and Mozart.Popular Works: Sonata No. 3, Recorder Sonata in A minor

Actually the Flames have quite a few interesting picks in the low minors. The last couple of drafts they've done pretty well, but it's just that most of the players are 2-3 years away (at least) from making a mark in the NHL. - Comment on About last night … (2013-02-20 08:28:36)
Many Habs fans are among the most fickle fans in any sport. Years of winning can do that to you. It was only a few games ago that many (yes including you Mr Boone) were pushing this team under the bus after losing three in a row - and that was after claimng how great they were for winning their first set of games. Now we're back to proclaiming the greatness of the team. Pick one side guys, and stick to it. - Comment on Liveblog: Leafs at Canadiens (2013-02-09 22:23:44)
What happened to all the praise you and others were giving this team? Big deal, they lost. I can take this for 40 games more than taking it for 80 games. If this is the way that it's going to be, give me a high draft pick. I'll take it. - Comment on Liveblog: Leafs at Canadiens (2013-02-09 21:41:28)
Mike, you've been singing this team's praises, and now suddenly they're "awful"? Pls don't be a bandwagon jumper like the rest. - Comment on Liveblog: Leafs at Canadiens (2013-02-09 21:25:37)
Aw c'mon Mike! A couple of games ago everyone is loving this team, now we're finding fault with all the players - "How much is left in the captain's tank at this point in his career?" - Comment on Liveblog: Leafs at Canadiens (2013-02-09 21:17:58)
So many fans / broadcasters jumping off the bandwagon. - Comment on About last night … (2013-02-08 10:44:50)
Blame White for the 3rd goal if you wish, but not for the 4th. That puck should never have been in our end for that length of time, and if nothing else, goalie interference should have been called. - Comment on Liveblog: Canadiens are 1-0 with Markov (2012-03-10 22:00:38)
You know Mike, there are many of us who follow these blogs who are in Western Canada. Therefore, it's still an early night for us and coffee is not required.

With recent revisions to its tie-breaker system, discounting the value of a shootout win in determining regular season standings, it's time for a refresher course in NHL tiebreaker rules.
First off, the top three spots in each conference are reserved for its division winners with the remaining five playoff berths going to the next highest ranked teams. And yes, it is possible for a division winner to have fewer points than any of the five wildcard teams and still hold third place in the conference for playoff purposes. Carolina did it in 1999.
Total regular season points rules the day in ordering the division winners among the top three spots as well as the remaining non-division winners below. When two teams collect the same number of points, the team with more regulation and overtime wins (statistically abbreviated as ROW) jumps ahead in the standings. Shootout wins are no longer counted for tiebreaker purposes.
If teams share the same number of points and wins (excluding shootout wins), then the one with more points in their head-to-head season series prevails. If an odd number of games occurred between the teams, points collected in the first game in the city hosting an extra match will be discounted in the math.
In the unlikely circumstance that the teams remained tied after calculating points, wins (excluding shootout wins), and the season series, the team with the greatest positive difference between goals scored and goals allowed gets the nod.
Points, wins (excluding shootout wins), season series, GF minus GA.
Now you know.

NHL Tiebreaker Rules and Conference Seeding

Wait, the Pens seem to have the same amount of points as the Flyers but with two more wins. Why do the Flyers get the #1 seed?
- April 10, 2011 at 6:22 PM
- MG said...
The Flyers had more regulation and overtime wins (44) than the Penguins (39) and that's what counts in the tiebreaker. Shootout wins are deducted from total wins for tiebreaker purposes.

I think it has since been taken off of YouTube, because it's too horrible to exist at all in a good world. It's probably been reposted somewhere else, so just make a search for a jeans music video.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Grumpy Monk is a Belgian IPA. The long held brewing traditions of Belgian monks arent meant to be broken. Yet, to the monks dismay, the distinctive character of Belgian yeast with its spicy clove and fruit notes can be reimagined when combined with the brazen hop character of an IPA. These hops impart a citrusy, piney, and earthy flavor thats balanced by a roasted malt sweetness for a complex and playful brew.

An historic document is included in the new Fall-Winter 2013 issue of ACU Today magazine.
"For Such a Time As This: The Identity, Mission and Future of Abilene Christian University" is a presentation of a Board of Trustees special report you should make time to read.
The board articulated "what it means for ACU to be a Christ-centered institution of higher education within the Christian heritage of the Stone-Campbell faith tradition, particularly as expressed in Churches of Christ. We strongly affirm the finest values of that heritage and will pursue a Christ-centered focus using the inspired Word of God to guide our decisions as an institution. Rooted in these values, ACU will pursue sound and innovative educational principles so our students will be fully prepared to live lives of Christian service and leadership. This document aims to be comprehensive enough to provide guidance in meeting the challenges and opportunities of the future, yet brief enough to be used readily in various deliberations throughout the university."
