Blond Brownies a la Mode Recipe
We have a lot of church socials and I'm always looking for something new and different to prepare. These brownies, drizzled with a sweet maple sauce, are a sure hit…with or without the ice cream. —Pat Parker, Chester, South Carolina
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- Vanilla ice cream and chopped pecans
- In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in pecans.
- Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
- For the sauce, combine syrup and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in milk. Cut brownies into squares; cut in half if desired.
- Place on dessert plates with a scoop of ice cream. Top with sauce; sprinkle with pecans. Yield: 20 servings.

Good, but this is really more of a cake than a brownie. I was looking forward to something gooey and brownie-like and got a cake. It is good, but not what I was looking for.

Election Day has passed, so I can skirt the political aspects of my story.
I'm one of those citizens who remains outraged by the New York Senate's refusal to even meet for a period of time last year. My wife, Marty, and I tried to put a different slant on things by visiting the Senate House Historic Site in Kingston.
Kingston's oldest residential area retains the street grid drawn by Peter Stuyvesant in the 1658. Because of fighting with the Esopus Indians, Stuyvesant ordered the community of 60 settlers to relocate homes and barns on a bluff overlooking their farmland. Board by board, brick by brick, these structures were moved.
A stockade of tree stumps, 14 feet high and with borders 1,200-by-1300 feet, was erected in a mere three weeks. Peace treaties were signed in 1664. Though no longer needed, the stockade stood intact into the 1700s. Segments were found during archaeological digs in 1971.
Kingston's early economy thrived on trade up and down the Hudson River. When the British took control of New York City during the American Revolution, however, merchants were left without avenues of commerce. And government had to move.
Kingston was designated the capital of New York state. Leaders, most notably John Jay, penned the state constitution in the local courthouse. George Clinton, New York's first governor and the person after whom Clinton County was named, had his offices there. The state's assembly convened in a local tavern.
The Senate wanted a more private place to meet. Abraham Van Gaasbeek, prosperous until Hudson River trade dwindled, offered empty rooms he once used for storage. That legislative body came together for the first time in September 1777 — at which time his home was already more than a century old.
During these early sessions, the 24-member Senate responded to a gubernatorial address, authorized pay for legislators (do priorities ever change—) and contracted for food to feed soldiers at Saratoga and Fort Montgomery.
British forces were sighted sailing up the Hudson River in October. State government quickly evacuated to Hurley then Poughkeepsie, where it remained until the capital was permanently moved to Albany in 1795. The British burned much of Kingston, but a tenacious population began rebuilding almost immediately.

- M&S 8/31/14 1800hrsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/31/2014Reservation online was handled well. The entire experience was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend M&S for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious Food; music not so muchViennaWeeneeVIPDined on 8/30/2014We had our usual delicious and reasonably priced meal. The background music, however, was more suited for a dance club than relaxed dining. I suppose we heard the music only because it was a very quiet night in the restaurant; other times we heard only the boom-boom of the bass -- not very relaxing either.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surf and TurfOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/30/2014This is the place to go for their occasional special of lobster tail and steak. Excellent. Service was great, and the gentleman was very knowledgeable about the entree choices. Also, the bar scene, especially just after work, is enjoyable with young professionals.Special Features:
- nice, okexperience1Dined on 8/29/2014The restaurant was VERY hard to find as it was in the fist floor of a hidden office complex. We were celebrating a special occasion and therefore wanted a "special" experience. We had excellent wait staff and our own private cubby hole with a curtain for dinner. I would say the food was good, but not spectacular. For an appetizer We had the calamari, which was "unspectacular" and included some other deep fried veggies?? I had crab cakes that were a bit too bready, lumps of bread actually. My husband had a combo platter with stuffed shrimp and salmon. The salmon looked a bit overcooked and the stuffed shrimp again were very bready instead of crabby. For a "famous" seafood restaurant, the food was just so so. This was my first time hereSpecial Features:
- CalvinnPiperVIPDined on 8/25/2014dinner is always good -- atmosphere is pleasant and appropriate for business meetings
- Excellent seafoodMikeDined on 8/23/2014McCormick & Schmick is always our first choice for seafood. This visit was like all the others: both of our meals were delicious. My lobster bisque contained a lot of lobster.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Landry ManagementGreybeardDined on 8/20/2014I used to enjoy the ambiance of M&S more before the Landry group purchased the M&S chain of restaurants. Landry has stripped off many of the decorative touches that made each place unique and now it looks just a like one of many of an indifferent chain of slop shops. The music used to be pleasant, unobtrusive background sound. Now it is more intrusive hip-hop kind of junk. As business investment decisions, these moves may make sense, but they have disappointed me as a loyal customer.Special Features:
- Pasta!shanksDined on 8/17/2014The restaurant is known for the steak and seafood, I would highly recommend the Cajun pasta!Special Features:
- Fine servicepaulieDined on 8/16/2014The extended family came for a dinner ranging all age groups and there was something for everyone. Appetizers for sharing came out and there was enough for all to get samplings. Ordered the main courses and overall everything was ok. In my instance the fish could have been cooked a minute less. I think the cooking technique of putting on generous amounts of butter mitigated that dried overcooked fish texture. Service was spot on as our server was very friendly, polite, and looked out for the kids. I have been there many times over the years. I think the main dining area could use a little makeover after all these years.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014My husband and I enjoyed the stained glass light fixtures and the decor- traditional, classy and "cozy feeling". The food was very good, especially the homemade sauces that came with the calamari. The only thing missing is that bread wasn't served before the meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- DisappointmentDisappointedDined on 7/13/2014I have been to the McCormick & Schmicks in downtown DC, Norfolk and now McLean. All have been a rousing disappointment. The menu basically has not changed in 15+ years. The food is tasteless and the décor is 1990s, at best. My salmon dish (a "special" for their 35th anniversary) was so bland and dry that I had to send it back to have it redone. Although the chef came out to explain the dish (basically admitting that they provide no seasoning), I was left underwhelmed. I can cook better salmon at home. As my husband said as we left "I guess this goes on the 'no list'."
- FANTASTIC!!!DianeDined on 7/12/2014Had dinner and it was wonderful!!! Salads were great and the seafood was excellent!!!! Will definitely be returning again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JohnDined on 7/11/2014The food was very good, as was the service. The window views are awful, overlooking a dreary grass, grating and concrete exterior.
- Ok restaurantDisappointedDined on 7/9/2014The food was mediocre and service was fair. The DC location is much nicer. Unfortunately we were disappointed and will not choose this location again.
- Quiet and relaxingRichDined on 7/4/2014we had a dinner here on july 4th with my family. --quiet-- easy parking--great food and service-- couldn't ask for more.
- Not Our Best ExperienceDoinwhatcomesnaturallyVIPDined on 7/4/2014Went on 4th of July. The Chef met us at the door and took us to our table, interesting touch, eh? After cocktails and an appetizers (both were great) the problem was a surf and turf special they had for the holiday. The steak was over-cooked and the lobster was bad (tasted like sulphur or iodine). Manager took the meal off the check (least that could be done) and comped us some after-dinner coffee. We are regulars and this experience is far and away the worst we have ever had here. Not sure if we will go back...it will be a while, regardless.Special Features:
- Great Dining Experience!kayceeintulsaVIPDined on 7/2/2014We always enjoy M&S for lunch and this was first dinner at Tyson's location. Service and food were both excellent. Started with ceasar salad and we had Salmon with roasted vegetables and blackened Cod as entrees. All were served hot and tasted wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surrounded with SerenityBruncherDined on 6/28/2014My guest and I were given one of the small alcove rooms that has a table for six. The room has beautifully paneled walls and even has green velvet draperies at the entrance. So we had perfect silence in which to enjoy the extraordinary chef's selection - salmon studded with crab, scallops, shrimp, and brie served over crisp broccoli and rich mashed potatoes. Superb!Special Features:
- dissatisfiedDined on 6/28/2014Not a good value. Seafood was on par with Red Lobster with a higher price. If the choice of french fries is McCormick or a fast food restaurant, I would go with the fast food choice. When you order a glass of wine, my wife expected more than a third of a glass. The waiter dispeared after taking the order and never returned until he was flagged down by which point we did not care to order anything else. Whatever your reason for going out to dinner, there are better choices.
- bethesdabobDined on 6/25/2014A GREAT MEAL AND WONDERFUL AMBIANCE. A LOT OF ATTENTION FROM OUR WAITER.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fit the bill for my wife's birthdayCharlieDined on 6/21/2014I took my wife here for her birthday. Food was good and the Heath Brownie was excellent for dessert.Special Features:
- McCormick & Schmick rocks 2014VoiceanpenDined on 6/21/2014FANTASTIC meal, service, and experience at the McLean, VA location!!! Exceeded expectations. Please extend our personal thanks to the Chef and staff for an absolutely unique and memorable experience.Special Features:
- Enjoyed our meal and the serviceLindaVIPDined on 6/15/2014We had the clam chowder which was very nice - not the best I've ever had, but nice. My husband had the fried shrimp which was ample in quantity and was nicely presented. My stuffed shrimp was nice - again not the best I've ever had, but certainly good. For folks wanting good food but nothing spicey or unusual, this is a good place. Our service was top notch. We ate outside because it was a lovely day but all you have to look at are the cars coming and going. The valet parking is certainly a nice perkSpecial Features:
- Great fishrwkahnDined on 6/15/2014The three of us had three different fish preparations and all were quite good. We did have to ask for bread (a good sourdough) and for refills of our water. It seems McCormick and Schmick is becoming less of a special place to eat, despite the $36.99 for simply-prepared halibut, and just another restaurant where parents don't monitor their children. The only way to have an enjoyable meal is to request one of the secluded (behind drapes) tables. That will be in our request if we make future reservations at the McLean M & S.Special Features:
- The Twilight ZoneAlessandroVIPDined on 6/14/2014We found McCormick & Schmick's in Tyson's to be a rather bizarre place - a single row of 5 tables arrayed down a corridor flanked by booths with drapes mostly pulled shut! The constant noise of waiters shuffling tableware to the left of us and a couple bickering behind closed drapes to the right of us! The slamon on a wooden plank was pretty good but the tuna steak was bone dry, just sucked the moisture right out of your mouth! Lastly, the location was strange, in the lobby of an office building in an area of office buildings. And the cost was rather pricey given the quality of the food and the dodgy ambience.
- Star AttractionChefBobVIPDined on 6/13/2014McCormick & Smick's new restaurant in Tysons corner is a real hit. McCormick & Smick's is one of our favorite restaurants, whether in Naples Florida, or South Beach Florida. Steaks are always some of the best in town, and seafood is always fresh and very appetizing. The appetizers are good and the drinks are fantastic. Valet parking is offered at this McCormick & Smick's so set your GPS as it is tucked away in one of the office buildings. The prices are reasonable, and the decor inside is absolutely fantastic. We had never had a bad meal at any McCormick & Smick's restaurants anywhere up and down the East Coast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

FORT WORTH — Back in February, Fort Worth started putting up new signs for commercial loading zones with 30-minute time limits.
Parking enforcement officers have been handing out warning cards to educate drivers on new loading zone rules.
Recently, the city increased the number of parking officers, and now they're handing out tickets.
Lots of them.
Tempers are rising; violating the new loading zone ordinance can be expensive.
"This is a $100 ticket?" A young waitress started to tear up as she clutched her freshly-written citation. That's a big chunk of a week's wages for a restaurant worker.
She had parked in a "commercial loading zone" for a couple of minutes to run into P.F. Chang's restaurant on Throckmorton Street. The manager said employees and carryout customers have always used the space for quick stops.
Increased loading zone enforcement should make life easier for delivery truck drivers who need the space; they can get in and out more quickly.
So we were surprised when a delivery driver rolled up and unloaded on us, and on parking officers who've been taking some heat for doing their jobs.
"They're harassing everybody down here in Fort Worth," the driver yelled over two lanes of traffic. "Nobody wants to come down here anymore. They're making it impossible for everybody to deliver. They're not helping!"
As the driver drove away, he screamed, "They're ticketing everybody!"
Scott Timberlake, the manager of P.F. Chang's, picked up the theme.
"All my vendors are getting tickets for parking in the same places when they drop stuff off for deliveries," he said. Timberlake believes strict enforcement will also hurt his carryout business. He said he'll take up the issue with city officials.
Part of the frustration stems from new rules on identifying commercial vehicles. Officials say delivery trucks must have a $75 permit or else be clearly marked with lettering in contrasting color at least 3 inches in height. The goal is to keep loading zones open so trucks won't clog up traffic lanes already squeezed by construction.
"We've given warnings; now we're actually giving tickets," said Fort Worth parking director Peter Elliott.
He said Fort Worth studied other big cities that have successfully used similar rules to improve parking, traffic and safety. Even city vehicles on non-official business will be ticketed.
In fact, one of the first tickets in the new effort was found tucked beneath the windshield wiper of Mayor Betsy Price's official vehicle.
She wasn't the driver, but she paid the ticket.

One man was killed when the high-end EF 3 tornado ripped through the close-knit town of Adairsville on Wednesday morning.
Anthony Raines, 51, died while in bed in his mobile home on Cass Street near the center of town where the storm left the most damage.
His sisters, Deborah Redd and Karen Davis, spoke exclusively to CBS Atlanta News on Friday.
"It's hard to believe that a little storm came through like that and a tree hit him so fast," Redd said. "I'm so thankful that he didn't feel none of that. The good Lord blessed us, it could have been a whole lot worse."
Redd said her brother spent most of his day in bed and that he was suffering from a chronic illness at the time of his death.
"I'm thinking he was a sleep that early - he's a daytime sleeper and up all night, playing video games," she said. "And when his son would go to school he'd go to sleep."
Davis said Raines, who was known by "Jody" to family and friends, left behind a 15-year-old son.
"He's in foster care right now," Davis said of the teen. "He's upset, understandably, but he's coping well with it; he's seen counselors."
Both sisters said they were devastated that their baby brother was the lone victim of the tornado, but are thankful there weren't more victims.
"I thank God nobody else was hurt," Redd said. "God done good. That's all I gotta say."
Raines' funeral is set for Monday from 12 to 2 p.m. at R. Dudley Barton & Son Funeral Home in Adairsville.

Blaze-hit Newport curry house to stay shut

The Georgia Institute of Technology first fielded a football team in 1892 as the Blacksmiths. Their first game against the University of Georgia resulted in Tech's first win, and the ire of the Bulldog's fans helped spark a rivalry known now only as "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate". The Yellow Jackets would have great success in the first part of the 20th century through to the '60s under legendary coaches John Heisman, William Alexander, and Bobby Dodd. With 3 National Championships and 13 Conference titles under these coaches, Georgia Tech then began to struggle in the '70s and '80s. Bobby Ross' arrival in 1987 would bring the Yellow Jackets back to form for another National Championship in 1990 and 2 ACC Titles. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football tickets.
Paul Johnson has led the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to five bowl games and two ACC Championship Game appearances in his five years as the head coach. However, after winning 20 games in his first two seasons that included an ACC championship, the Yellow Jackets are 21-19 in the last three years. The offense will continue to rely heavily on the run game with sophomore Vad Lee expected to be the point man in the triple-option offense. With Lee at quarterback, senior David Sims should lead a very deep group at the running back position.
The defense will return eight starters under Ted Roof, who took over as the defensive coordinator during the season last year. The Yellow Jackets will end the season by hosting state rival Georgia Bulldogs, with home contests also slated against Virginia Tech, Syracuse, and Pittsburgh.
Check out our Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Season Preview History page for previews of previous Yellow Jackets seasons.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets play their home games at the 55,000 seat capacity Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Attend a Georgia Tech home game and you'll hear the crowd sing "Up with the White and Gold" as they cheer on their beloved "Ramblin' Wreck". A game against Georgia is an experience every football fan should have. Who could forget the 1999 Georgia-Georgia Tech game, which the Yellow Jackets won in overtime after trying for a field goal on 3rd down, having it blocked, recovering it, and re-kicking it to win 51-48? The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets home bench is on the Bobby Dodd Stadium sideline with sections 101-111. Bobby Dodd Stadium parking information is covered in our Yellow Jackets event guide.
Georgia Bulldogs
It's just some "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate" but so far it's the Bulldogs that are coming out victorious most of the time. The universities were founded over a century apart, but the hate is embedded in everything, including both school's fight songs. If you're a Georgia Tech fan, you love to sign "To hell with Georgia!" and this game is the best place to do it. The Ramblin' Wreck season isn't complete without a win over Georgia.
The Yellow Jackets, aka The Engineers, have been winning games since 1892 and are still going strong today. With an improbable 40 plus bowl games under their belt the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have racked up eight conference championships covering the ACC and SEC. Ticketcity offers tickets to all college football bowl games and the ACC Championship Game.
Children under two years of age are allowed in without a ticket, but must sit on the lap of their parent during the game.
Gates open 1.5 hours prior to kickoff.
Yeah! Burger is just north of campus and features good ingredient burgers. Star Provisions has a huge menu of everything from sandwiches, to foie gras to lamb as is right by the campus as well.
The game was fantastic! I will use TicketCity again and tell my friends, that's a promise!Christal - Pflugerville, TX

logic gate
An integrated circuit or other device whose inputs and outputs represent Boolean or binary values as voltages (TTL uses 0V for False or 0, +5V for True or 1). Different gates implement different Boolean functions: AND, OR, NAND, NOR (these may take two or more inputs) NOT (one input), XOR (two inputs). NOT, NAND and NOR are often constructed from single transistors and the other gates made from combinations of these basic ones. These functions are all combinatorial logic functions, i.e. their outputs depend only on their inputs and there is no internal state. Gates with state, such as latches and flip-flops, are constructed by feeding some of their outputs back to their inputs.

Plaques and TanglesAlzheimer's disease is characterized by a build-up of proteins in the brain. Though this cannot be measured in a living person, extensive autopsy studies have revealed this phenomenon. The build-up manifests in two ways:
- Plaques – deposits of the protein beta-amyloid that accumulate in the spaces between nerve cells
- Tangles – deposits of the protein tau that accumulate inside of nerve cells
Scientists are still studying how plaques and tangles are related to Alzheimer's disease. One theory is that they block nerve cells' ability to communicate with each other, making it difficult for the cells to survive.
Autopsies have shown that most people develop some plaques and tangles as they age, but people with Alzheimer's develop far more than those who do not develop the disease. Scientists still don't know why some people develop so many compared to others. However, several risk factors for Alzheimer's disease have been uncovered.
Alzheimer's Risk Factors
- Age: Advancing age is the number one risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease. One out of eight people over the age of 65 has Alzheimer's disease, and almost one out of every two people over the age of 85 has Alzheimer's. The probability of being diagnosed with Alzheimer's nearly doubles every five years after age 65.
- Family History: People who have a parent or sibling that developed Alzheimer's disease are two to three times more likely to develop the disease than those with no family history of Alzheimer's. If more than one close relative has been affected, the risk increases even more.
Scientists have identified two kinds of genes that are associated with this familial risk factor. The first is thought to be a "risk gene," ApoE 4, that increases the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's, but does not guarantee it. In addition to ApoE 4, scientists think there could be up to a dozen more risk genes yet to be discovered.
The second kind of gene is a "deterministic gene" and is much rarer than risk genes. Deterministic genes are only found in a few hundred extended families around the world. If a deterministic gene is inherited, the person will undoubtedly develop Alzheimer's, probably at a much earlier age.
- Lifestyle Factors: Although age and family history are out of our control, scientists have also identified several lifestyle factors that can influence a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. A connection has been found between serious head injury and future development of Alzheimer's, so those who practice safety measures such as wearing seat belts and not engaging in activities where there is a high risk of falling are at an advantage.
Evidence is also mounting for the promotion of exercise and a healthy diet to reduce Alzheimer's risk. Avoiding tobacco, limiting alcohol consumption, staying socially active, and engaging in intellectually stimulating activities have also been shown to have a protective effect against Alzheimer's disease.
Finally, there is a strong link between heart health and brain health. Those who are free of heart disease or related conditions are at a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's or another kind of dementia than those who have cardiovascular problems.

Guide To Fixing Common Focus Bonnet Lock Problem.
Posted 07 August 2012 - 08:37 PM
As you may or may not be aware there is a big design flaw in the design of the Ford Focus bonnet lock mechanism.
If you remove the slam plate:
And this rubber boot:
You will see there is a cable connecting the key barrel:
To this white collet:
The idea is on the right turn of the key, this catch opens:
Like so:
Which releases the bonnet allowing you to lift it open.
Now this is not so much a flaw but actually a tamper proof measure designed in by ford. This lies with the white collet pictured above. Basically the back of this collet is part of a + shaped male and female key, these two parts need to be clicked in together for you to be able to open the bonnet.
The idea is if a would-be thief tries to break into your bonnet, the connection behind the collet will separate rendering the lock mechanism useless and they will not be able to open the bonnet.
However, this is actually flawed as it was generally new technology to ford and it was poorly designed as well as the actual connection being very fragile. Meaning instead of thieves, the actual owners of the car was getting locked out of they're own bonnets, because the slightest knock or bump, sometimes even taking a big speed bump too quick, or as I'll mention shortly changing the grill can dislodge the connection. Then as the owner was none the wiser to this 'security feature', when it came to opening the bonnet with the key, only to find nothing happened, they was truly in the shtuck.
I unfortunately discovered this design flaw first hand when I received some front end damage resulting in needing the bumper replacing, which meant removing the key barrel from the grill.
The 'mechanic' slid the barrel out of the grill and let it hang freely, removed the grill, removed the old bumper, fitted the new bumper, replaced the grill, replaced the barrel and finally closed the bonnet. He then tried to open the bonnet, only to discover that when turning the key left and right, nothing happened and the bonnet was jammed shut tight.
Now I must inform you that the lock mechanism is also very fragile and can easily snap or break, If this is the case then unfortunately you will have to smash your grill in, snap off the lock mechanism and buy a new grill and lock mechanism from ford or ebay and have the barrel built up to your original key by a locksmith, this will end up costing you around a £100.
You can also jack the car up, get on your back under the car and reach up between the radiator and engine block where you will have to go by feel and take a ratchet spanner to the 2 10mm bolts either side of the lock mechanism. By loosening these 2 bolts you will be able to prise the bonnet up with enough force. I did try this, but unless I just have really big hands, I do not see how anyone can reach up high enough to get to the bolts without getting they're arm trapped.
However you will most likely find you are in the same situation as I was and the connection had just become loose and not actually broken, in which case it is very easy to fix this yourself when you know how.
I actually joined this forum looking for an answer myself, a quick Google search will throw up loads of results with people in the same situation and some may mention using a long screw driver through the grill, but not in much detail so if you are not doing it right or hard enough you can waste all day with no result and end up thinking the grill needs to be smashed in when it doesn't at all.
The common cause of this problem is actually replacing the grill and not knowing about the problem until it is too late and you are faced with not being able to open your bonnet.
After managing to fix this problem myself with no mechanical experience, a fellow member of this forum fitted a nice new ST grill to his focus found himself in the exact same situation I was in only days before.
He tried the screwdriver trick himself with no avail and thought he would be faced with smashing in his nice new grill quicker than he had actually fitted it.
I managed to guide him through what he had to do so he was able to fix it himself too. So as this is a common problem I am writing this guide for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation or anyone thinking of swapping they're grill and doesn't already know about this problem.
Now after a load of waffle, very simply here is how to open your bonnet if you find yourself in this situation.
First off, brute force and position is key here, if you don't push hard enough it won't happen, if you have the screwdriver in the wrong position it won't happen.
First things first If you peer through the grill you will see the black rubber boot which you will need to pull off with some needle nose pliers (you may need a torch for this)
Once this is off you will be able to see the cable and the white collet:
Then what you need to do is thread a long enough screwdriver (about 300mm should do) through the grill directly above the ford swivel badge:
As I just said it is all about position. You need to position the head of your screwdriver on the face of the white collet, directly above where the cable meets the collet like so:
This had immediate results for me as soon as I had the screwdriver in this position and I opened the bonnet within minutes.
However to find this position I worked the screwdriver right the way around the cable with no avail, If you position the screwdriver to the sides or underneath the cable you won't have much luck:
It needs to be like this:
Once you have the head of the screwdriver in this position, you now need to put all of your bodyweight on the end of the screwdriver and push the white collet back in place, while in turn turning the key left and right as normal.
A tip is to get someone to turn the key left and right for you while you push on the screwdriver. I found it also helps to have whoever is turning the key to push it in in a straight in position while turning the key.
By pushing the white collet in with the screwdriver you are pushing the male and female connection back together and much to your joy the bonnet will suddenly pop. When pushing the screwdriver you should hear a click, this is the connection clicking back together, if you don't hear the click don't worry, as long as you maintain the pressure you will get the bonnet open and you can deal with getting the connection to click together after.
I must stress, when you find the correct position of the screwdriver and the right amount of pressure, the bonnet will suddenly pop on the left turn of the key, it is important to not get too overjoyed at this point and stop applying the pressure. If you do, you will lose the connection and you will have to start all over again.
So remember, when the bonnet suddenly pops on the left turn, make sure you quickly turn the key to the right and lift the bonnet before you lose the connection.
By doing this instead of a £100 ebay spend for a new grill and lock kit, all it cost me was 5quid for a long enough screwdriver which is one of the best purchases I've made and now lives in my boot should this problem happen again.
A final and critical tip, If you are planning on swapping your grill, very carefully slide the barrel out of the existing grill, and whatever you do, DO NOT let the barrel hang freely on the cable, this will almost definitely lose the connection causing you to find the bonnet won't open after closing it.
To avoid this problem in the first place all you have to do is balance the barrel on some sort of object, a can of pop would do for instance, this keeps the cable in position and prevents the weight of the barrel dislodging the connection when hanging.
If you do let the barrel hang however, it still isn't a problem, just make sure the key still does what it is supposed to do before closing the bonnet, if it doesn't, click the connection back together before you do.
If you've closed the bonnet and can't open it, follow the guide.
So there you go, my first guide. I hope it was as informative as it could be and not too boring. If it helps other people who find themselves in the same situation it will have been worth the read.

Excellent guide mate,
i may need this myself if i dont take due care and attention when changing my front upper grill.

Posted 07 August 2012 - 11:21 PM
Had a spare 5 minutes earlier lol so i darted outside and removed the slam panel to take a few quick snaps then come inside to type it up trying to be as detailed as I could.
My reasoning for doing this is when it happened to me I ended up driving the car around for close to a month without being able to open the bonnet so if I'd of broke down driving back from a night shift I'd have been screwed cause the AA wouldn't have even been able to get the bonnet open to jump start it or do anything to get it going again.
Searched all over google and couldn't find much detail on the matter, a few people mentioned a screwdriver through the grill, I tried it but it didn't work and again there wasn't much detail on what to do with it apart from stick it on the grill and push on the collet.
Found myself here seeking help, I got some great advice on the matter from the likes of yourselves but unless you experienced the problem yourself you wouldn't be able to advise on somthing you don't know much about.
I was determined not to smash my grill so I set about it again and kept at it till the bonnet popped and I found the bonafied angle to open it within seconds when you know how.
I found it strange how such a common problem (cause unless you know not to, anyone who has removed the grill for what ever reason, would have naturally let the barrel hang freely then found themselves in this situation when the key wouldn't open the catch to release the bonnet) wasn't discussed in more detail so that people would be able to find the answer easier.
Now if anyone comes to this forum looking for an answer they will find a guide telling them exactly what they have to do, so that they do not think they have to pay an extortionate fee to ford for a new grill and lock kit and having to smash they're perfectly good grill in when they didn't need to.
Read stories of people on google who took the problem to ford and the first thing they did is smash the grill in without even trying a screwdriver cause it's money straight in their pockets.

PS - On mine, I had to remove the rubber gromit in front of the white thing which others may have to do.

Oops sorry mate I forgot about that, I never put the rubber gromit back on after fixing the first time so I forgot to take pictures of it when writing the guide. I'll take a snap tomorrow and add it, nice one for reminding me lol

I'm pretty sure that the lock mechanism disconnecting is designed in as a tamper proofing measure.
It is mate tried to explain that by this 'The idea is if a would-be thief tries to break into your bonnet, the connection behind the collet will separate rendering the lock mechanism useless and they will not be able to open the bonnet'
But no one seems to know about it, even some mechanics. So every time anyone has work done on they're car or changes the grill, or even sometime a little bump to the front will dis-lodge it so then when people go to open the bonnet they ain't got a clue why it's not opening, then they take it to a mechanic and even they don't know and end up smashing the grill.
There is obviously method in ford doing this but at the time it was a pretty poor work around and they did make it rather fragile and is flawed, I believe they came up with a new way for later models but don't take my word on that. I can go into more detail on this after I did some research a while ago but right now I'm absolutely shattered lol and I my head don't wanna work

a very gratefull emlynkide
Thoughtso mate, so sorry I can't help. Just when I read about you trying to open the bonnet with the key I thought it might be worth a shot in case the mechanism is similar.
Posted 13 October 2012 - 02:51 PM
I have followed the guides posted here, but ... without results. All i managed was to take the grill lol
Still I am at the same point

By MONA NAIR6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) – Knoxville police are searching for the man behind a violent armed robbery Tuesday night at Indu Sai Store, a convenience store on Whittle Springs Road.
Lyons says just three weeks ago she was attacked by another armed robber. She was working the same shift at the same store, but the robber was a different person.
Overall, Lyons says, she is having a really hard time dealing with the trauma.
Less than 24 hours after Tuesday's attack, one of the victims in the attack was back on the job. Linda Lyons says she is traumatized and keeps reliving the incident in her head.
"He jumped over the counter, pointed the gun at me, and told me that if I moved anywhere, that he was going to shoot me," Lyons said.
Surveillance video shows the man dressed in black, pointing a gun at Lyons while grabbing money out of the cash register.
"I've been shaking. It's like a replay in my head," Lyons said. "If I hear his voice again I'll know it. It's something I'll never forget."
After taking money from both registers, while constantly threatening the clerks, she says the attack finally ended.
"As he put the money in his pocket, he said, 'I just want a little pocket change, but if you all move, I'll shoot,'" Lyons said.
While the armed robber got away on foot, police believe they have good evidence from the scene.
"At this point, we don't think he's responsible for any other robberies we know of," said Knoxville Police spokesperson Darrell DeBusk.
Lyons hopes he won't strike again.
"Because I don't want anyone to go through what me and that girl went through," she said.
Police say the armed robber was a black male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants, black, shoes, and a blue cloth over the lower portion of his face. He was about 6'0" and 250 lbs.
If you have any information on the robbery call the Knoxville Police Department at (865) 215-7212.

Britney Wins Worst Dog Owner
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 41 Reactions 1 Shares Print
Britney has made many concerned about the welfare of her two sons but now it looks like people are even concerned about her poor pets. She was named the worst celebrity dog owner for 2006 by both The Hollywood Dog and The New York Dog magazines. Her old friend Paris won the crown as worst dog owner last year. Poor Bit Bit.

I still think la Hilton is the worst. I remember vaguely a couple years back watching some interview and her saying something to the effect that she keeps her puppies 'til they're no longer cute little puppies, then gets new ones because she can and she doesn't see any reason why she shouldn't get a new one instead. Basically, the crazy bitch gets a dog for its baby years then throws it away to someone else when it's older so she can have a cute little baby pup again. Kinda makes me hope sincerely that she ends up on a pile of garbage.

I know this is shallow and off topic but, her shoes. The pair she has on in that pic, and the ones she was wearing every night a few weeks ago, with the little rhinestone hearts. They are both Steve Madden, and they are both from summer 2003. Why doesn't she buy some new ones??? If i can upgrade, I'm sure she would have no problem.

I think this is stupid, and I'm not a Brit fan. But what is this based on? I thought KFed had a dog, not necessarily Brit. Considering I've never seen her beating her dog or anything, I just don't get it. I also do not believe that Britney was ever "trapped". If anyone had the means and freedoms to get out of a bad marriage it would be someone like her. She made her bed, now she lies in it. ~Procrastinate Now! Don't Put It Off~ (Ellen)

Deba 7 years
I guess some people have read it, but this is really good, its logn but worht it" She is not worth $300 milliin. The most she ever had was about $150 million which forbes magazine and some other publications talked about (and they probably pushed it up a bit to make her look good at the time). She has not put out an album in years and has not toured in some time. She has been spending a lot of it for the last few years, K-Fed (cars, recording his CD etc), limos, houses, lawsuits, lawyers, managers etc. She also lost the lawsuit that she filed against the ten insurance companies that she was trying to get payment from. She wanted them to pay her when she canceled her last tour in the middle of it. She ended up having to pay major amounts of money for damages, cancelled arenas, promoters, investers etc. (in the millioins). Her perfume is not doing well now because of her image. Check the latest figures. Even Elizabeth Arden made comments in one of their recent bulletins. They have been cutting back on it and only realesing smaller amounts. There are also rumors that Elizabeth Arden are thinking of suing her because she has not been keeping up her part of the deal and done the amount of advertising she was supposed to do for them. She also has not keeped up the much better image of herself that she had years ago which DOES help sell the products she backs. Her trailor trash image has done major harm to her busnesses (perfume, CD's, tours etc.). She IS a business and needs to act like it with her image. Major magazines are not putting her on their covers all the time anymore like they used to which paid her big money. Now she is only on covers of the tabloids, which do not pay her at all. It also damages her career a lot, and her image to be in the tabs all the time and not in major, paying magazines (who make her look good). She sould have done Playboy if she wanted to show the wourld her privates. They would have made her look good and paid her a lot of money. Instead she did it for free to get attention which did a lot more damage to her image then any comeback help. With the C-section showing and rashes futher down (check the large images not the small ones that the net shows a lot). It looked really gross and is a turn off. And being with Hilton only made it worse. She does not have any professionalism to her tacktics and it hurts her image and business a lot. Everyone looks at a train wreck, but that does not mean anyone is going to pay cash to buy it. Her getting attention with such desperate actions does not help her image, sales, or comback (if there even is one at all). She tends to get suid a lot becuse she is unprofessional. Her restaurant NYLA went Broke. She was suid by NIKE some years back and lost. She was suid by a t-shirt company (the only one she won). She suid US magazine and lost. Suing, lawyers, and court cases cost a huge amount of money. She does not have a larg income at this time. She has been spending far more in the last three years then she has brought in. If you check all of her divorce papers and the other fillings, she only has about $32 million left. She has gone from $150 million about four years ago down to $32 million. You can check the documents and the other data out yourself. That is a loss of $118 millioin in four years. She is not smart, and I am sure a lot of people are taking her money, not just K-Fed, since she is always partying and going crazy. She may even loose her kids, which is up to the judge and not her fans or their oppinions. I work in the legal profession and see how the courts and judges rule all the time. She is not intelegent and does not know how to manage her money. The images that the tabloids constantley print of her and her actions can be, and will be, used in court. And it will damage her greatly. If she keeps going like this, she will loose the rest of her money in a few more years (around five years or so). The current Britney fans seem to only care about image (hair color, makeup, clothes etc.), and not substance (such as facts, or Birtnye's kids). And by the way, she is looking more and more trailor trash everyday. Check a bunch of her current pictures against the ones from years ago when she was doing great and still looked fresh and yound. She really was happy back then and her smile showed it. Now her smile is hidding a lot of pain and missery. Just look deeper and you will see it there. The problem is that she has caused this all on her own, with her selfishness and stupid tactics. She has gone crazy and really needs psychiatric care. I used to be a really big fan of hers. But the Britney now is literally someone completely different. This is not even the same person. I, and all of her past fans that have left, do not know who this woman is now. Britney left some time ago. Sad." Probably its going to be on E! True Hollywood Stories Next Year

I thought people were holding her up because she forgot how to walk in heels. Her face looks young again. Her legs look very shapely, but I don't want to see all the way to her crotch. I like the fact that she has clothes on. I think she took the bed head look WAY too far! They mean one day not 7 in a row. If I were her I would take the money I have and go retire.

Hmm. I see the heading: "Britney wins worst dog owner", and I think...didn't Britney kick K-Fed to the curb? Oh. I know. That was bad. Sorry. Couldn't help myself. But he *was* a dog. And not the good kind either. (I think you all know what I mean.)

Didn't they have a big dog or two when her and KFed lived in Malibu? Maybe that is what they are referring to. But hardly anyone I know in LA actually walks their own dog, so paying someone to come to your house to walk the dog twice a day is kind of normal there.

The girls are people that work for her. They are helping her bc have you seen some of those videos? She cannot MOVE with all the paps around as for the dogs brit isnt the first person that had to ditch a dog bc it didnt work out with the kids. TRUST ME. Paris is still the far worse pet owner. Brit had a legit reason. And she at least gave them proper homes. That I will defend. Im tired of thinking about her partying as someone said today Im desensitized by it all. I root so hard for her and I understand shes going thru alot of shiz but someone needs to wake her up and help her bc shes past helping herself. I can only feel for her when she realizes whats happened.

melissabritt 7 years
MBM She had a dog (bit bit) right when she got married & was in her major "I WANT A BABY NOW" mode. She carried it everywhere & had a lame-o pack & play to put the poor thing in when they went out to eat. I was embarassed for them!!! She ditched bit bit (dumbest name ever BTW) as soon as she had Sean P b/c she didn't feel safe having the dog & the baby. More like she got the real baby & no longer needed the fake baby. The dog is better off.
sashak 7 years
I think these pics are from the other night. She just put on a button-down over the lace "dress". IMO (& experience), the only way she can party that damn hard all the time is coke. I quit all that shit b/c I never saw the sun & she obvioulsy isn't seeing her sons. (see how I did that?! haha, :OY: )

"It was a difficult experience for the designers," reflects Pyant, who adds, "the scenic design changed a great deal in the process. We were there for six weeks, with nine days onstage." The end result was an interesting experiment, with two very different operas, each of which premiered in 1918, pulled together by the star presence of bass Samuel Ramey and certain visual elements.
The double bill was in repertory with Puccini's Turandot (lit by another British import, Alan Burrett) and, as a result, Pyant says there were three essentially separate rigs in the air. "The productions didn't really coincide," he notes, although the use of automated luminaires, including Vari*Lite® VL5s™, Coemar SuperCycs, and Martin Professional MAC 2000s, helped solve some of his design problems.
In Bluebeard (above), the sinister set was defined by two set pieces: an enormous spiral staircase, (inspired by Louise Bourgeois' 1999 sculpture "I Do, I Undo, and I Redo,") and an abandoned chandelier sitting on the floor. Judith, Bluebeard's new bride, arrives with her husband; she opens a series of doors, each of which reveals Bluebeard's bloody history. The seven doors were indicated by one large door upstage center. When it opened, Pyant used crosslight from ETC Source Fours placed downstage. No frontlight was used, as the entire production was played behind a black front scrim; four 19° Source Fours were used from above as followspots.
A series of strange images was rear-projected with two Pani BP4 projectors onto RP screens behind the door. Two additional Panis were used from front of house, for scenes including ghostly images of Bluebeard's dead wives (created by American photographer Rocky Schenk), projected on the front scrim. The constant stream of images was continually processed on-site by UCLA student Miko Nezu.
The cloak of darkness in Bluebeard was replaced with much cheerier lighting in Gianni Schicchi (bottom), a farce set in the bedroom of a dying, wealthy Florentine (this production updated the action to the 1920s). The large spiral staircase that was so ominous in Bluebeard was moved to upstage center, outside of large glass doors. The bedroom itself was an expansive, multilevel affair, with a large chandelier in the center, which recalled the ruined chandelier from Bluebeard.
Here, Pyant backlit the cyclorama using various cloud templates in different colors to denote the changes in the time of day. The basic rig included ETC Source Fours and Source Four PARs, and in this case he was able to use four HMI followspots from front of house. His color choices were wider and brighter than in Bluebeard, where he stayed in the blue range with Lee 200-202 color correction and L120, and L106 for a primary red. For Schicchi, Pyant describes the palette as "favoring the odd end of the range," with soft, subtle colors like pale amber gold and pink, as well as TV color correction filters (L232, L236, L238) with heavier color underneath (L120 deep blue and L134 golden amber). The opera house uses a Strand 550 Series control console.
Curry's puppets included fabric birds reminiscent of those he designed for The Lion King, as well as the souls of Bluebeard's murdered spouses that fluttered about the stage. At the opening of Schicchi, one of the souls escaped from Schicchi's dead body, eliciting a laugh from the audience and setting the tone for the comic half of the evening.
Other personnel on the production team included projection consultant Marc Rosenthal of Personal Creations, assistant LDs Lisa D. Katz and Casey Cowan, opera electrician Tony Bechtel, and assistant electrician Richard Hiner. Following this gig, Pyant returned to England, where he lit the new drama Frozen at the Royal National Theatre. Next up at the LA Opera is another Puccini, The Girl of the Golden West, designed by Michael Scott, with lighting by Alan Burrett.

Hotline offers advice on keeping cold at bay
2:00pm Monday 7th January 2013 in News
A HELPLINE is trying to make sure people in Oxfordshire faced with rising energy bills stay warm this winter.
The Affordable Warmth Helpline has taken dozens of calls since it was set up, offering advice on benefits, grants and energy efficiency.
It is part of the Government's Warm Homes Healthy People initiative and is staffed by experts who can give advice on coping during the cold weather.
Jessica Brooks, a specialist registrar in public health with NHS Oxfordshire, said: "Cold homes have a significant impact on people's health and one of the best ways of keeping well during winter is to stay warm.
"With the cost of fuel bills on the rise, however, we know there are people out there who struggle to keep the cold at bay and are at greater risk of getting coughs, colds and more serious illnesses, such as flu and pneumonia."
Dale Hoyland, project manager at the United Sustainable Energy Agency, which runs the helpline, said people should call and see what is available.
He said: "The number of calls that we have received shows there are people in the county who really worry about managing their fuel bills and are keen to find out how they can save money, make their heat go further and protect themselves from winter illnesses."
The initiative is funded with the help of more than £152,000 from the Department of Health.
Arash Fatemian, Oxfordshire County Council cabinet member for adult services, said: "Last year Oxfordshire benefited from a strong partnership that made a real difference to a number of people in the county over the winter. The Government's funding announcement allows us to build on that success and to enhance the lives of some of the county's most vulnerable people."
Call the helpline on 0800 107 0044.

All very well if you call from a landline but if a vulnerable person (or anyone) were to call that number from a convenient mobile, it is likely to cost them around 30p per minute.
This would mean that a 10 minute call could cost someone the same amount as it would to run a 750W oil filled radiator continuously for over 26 hours.

Two rural KOTA Territory schools, Spring Creek and Fairburn, will be closing next year to save the school district money, but another rural school seems to be in the clear thanks to an increase in enrollment and support from the community.
Edgemont is a small town with fewer than 800 people, "We have the railroad, we have the ranching, and we have the school," said Dean of Students Lane Ostenson.
So when the Edgemont schools started to struggle, the community opted to pay more taxes; adding about $150,000 a year to the school's general fund. "It's a very close knit community; I think they value the school," said teacher Scott Corbett.
But budget cuts still had to be made, "We cut when we need to and add when we can," said Superintendent Dave Cortney.
He says in the past they've had to cut staff and double teachers duties.
"Oh we're definitely busy," said Mr. Corbett.
He is a science teacher who also teaches Geography now, but his job doesn't stop there. "I've been class sponsor, science club sponsor; I'm currently student council sponsor," Said Corbett. "I started helping like run the clock and things like that for the different athletic events."
"Our staff really looks at what do we need and not necessarily what they want," said Ostenson.
Some cuts are still being implemented. For instance there aren't any school bus routes in the Edgemont area. "It came to a point when we were down to about 125, 130 kids and it became more economical to pay mileage to parents than run the bus routes," said Cortney.
But teachers and administrators say they have high hopes for the future. "I see an enrollment that continues to grow and a lot of our funding is based off student enrollment," said Ostenson. "I see us building back to where we were."
"We've got to hang in there as long as we can and hope that things turn around," said Cortney.

"We want to do something which is about fragility and beauty," said Maria Grazia Chiuri, "something light—a reaction to the time we're in." She and Pier Paolo Piccioli were working in the Valentino showroom on final fittings for their couture show on Wednesday. A girl stood before them in a long, full-skirted dress with delicate wrist-length sleeves and a high neck in yards of blurred, faded blue-and-yellow rose print. "I feel like a princess," she breathed, catching sight of herself in a mirror.
All the signs are that something extraordinary—even emotional—will take place between models and the audience when this collection hits the runway. It's based on the designers' research into eighteenth-century portraiture, the court of Marie Antoinette, the romance of Barry Lyndon and the outcome is exquisite in every detail of the multiple refinements of lace, tulle, and minute embroideries summoned by the Valentino couture ateliers in Rome. We are set to see lace slippers, cream embroidered tuxedos, high-necked ruffle-collared blouses, and any number of enchanting dresses in the kind of handwork rarely witnessed in the twenty-first century. Still, there is nothing Old World about the feeling of the clothes. Ornate as they sound, there's an overriding freshness and vitality in them which feels genuine to a young girl like that model. On rare occasions, fashion shows can be intensely moving, and this may well be one of them. Note to audience: Pack tissues, just in case.

The Food and Drub Administration announced last week that teething gels can cause oxygen deprivation, and in extreme cases, death. We aren't usually ones to freak out on things (okay, sometimes we are!) but this sounds pretty serious to us.
