"Dad, let's go to that other lot," the little girl suggests.
Our budget for the perfect tree is $60, but Posh spots one for $89 that she kind of adores.
"Can we eat it for Christmas dinner?" I ask.
"Then we're not spending $89 on a tree," I say.
When we get the $89 tree home, it turns out to be mounted poorly and doesn't sit straight up in the stand (an extra 7 bucks). At first, we bend it back straight, but once we get the 120 strings of lights and 48,000 ornaments on it, it begins to teeter again. A friend dubbed it the Leaning Tower of Christmas.
None of us has the energy or the time to de-decorate the tree, re-cut the trunk, buy another stand, then decorate the tree again (estimated time: 12 to 14 hours).
So we've started a pool on when exactly it will fall over.
The smart money? Christmas Eve.
Dear Santa,
Won't keep you long. You can cancel that Porsche I ordered earlier? Personal bankruptcy looms like one of Dickens' ghosts. I don't fear unemployment so much as I fear daytime television. That would very well do me in.
And I guess my request for peace on Earth will have to wait another year too -- there's no telling what those cowards with automatic rifles will try next.
So here, with a smaller and more-contented holiday in mind, is my revised Christmas list:
* A giant aspirin, big as a hockey puck.
* Two hours Christmas Day to watch the Lakers crush the Celtics.
* One honest moment.
And if you can't manage the other two, I'll settle for the one honest moment, where I have the courage to tell the ones I love how truly crazy I am for them. I am head- over-heels nuts for my wife, my mom, my kids and even my sisters (seriously).
Why I can't be more upfront about this is anyone's guess. It might be because I'm a dad. It might be because I'm originally from the Midwest. It might just be because I'm a notorious goof-up.
But if you can give me one honest moment over the holidays -- maybe two -- I'll tell them all how I feel about them, not to mention a few old friends whom I'm pretty loopy for as well.
Sappy? As a Fraser fir. Sensible? As a Sears sweater.
Welcome to California, Santa. Remember, clothing optional.

When you go to use your Keurig machine, you can't forget to use the k-cups. But, after you're done brewing your favorite coffee or tea, you have to throw it away.
Well, this may work a little better for you. It's called a café cup. All you have to do is put your favorite coffee or tea inside the little cup and put in the machine. But, will it actually help you make your favorite coffee or tea? Well, "don't buy it, until we try it."The smell of a freshly brewed cup of java coming from the Keurig coffee maker is all too familiar to some coffee lovers. But, there's one problem."We have to replace the k-cups a lot because you can only use them once. It's a single use thing," says Jordan Sampleton.And, over time, those single cups of coffee can start to add up."It is a little more expensive, but the convenience is also nice for our guests and things like that. But, we just don't know of any other option at this point," says Sampleton.So, we decided to put a reusable k-cup to the test.
The café cup sells for around $10, which is about the same price as a box of regular k-cups.
It's simple, really. Just open up the café cup, take the scooper, add one full scoop, and close it up. And then, put it in the Keurig machine."And, then, it will fit right here like the disposable one did," says Sampleton.
Just add a cup of water, and it's time to brew.
Within minutes, you'll have a fresh cup of coffee. "I thought they were really simple to use. For the two steps you added, which is the scoop and clean up, it seems very worth it to save that extra money. And you can also choose whatever regular ground coffee you want to use," says Sampleton.

BARB crews evacuating flood-hit families
5:04pm Sunday 9th February 2014 in News
CREW members from Burnham-on-Sea's BARB Search & Rescue have been helping evacuate residents from the flood-hit Somerset Levels this weekend.
Volunteers from the Burnham charity have been working alongside other organisations to help families in the village of Moorland, near Bridgwater, whose homes have been inundated by the floods.
These photos, taken from the BARB rescue boat, show the scale of the flooding, which has left the village's homes, church, village hall and vehicles under water.
"BARB is always available to help and our thoughts go out to all those affected by this terrible flooding," said BARB Operations Manager Mike Lowe.
One of those helped, Beverly Farthing, said: "We are very grateful to BARB's help in getting us safely out to a relative's home here in Moorland. My partner's cousin has stayed home in the village despite the flooding and we were able to deliver some essential food supplies."
BARB is a registered charity and is run entirely by volunteers and has helped and rescued hundreds of people over the past 21 years.
More details about to help BARB and get involved with fundraising and as a crewmember are available at http://www.burnham-on-sea.com/barb

Let Us Pledge Support For Harlem School of The Arts
attn: Harlem School of the Arts John W. Corwin Interim Executive Director email@example.com Greetings John W.Corwin, It's come to our attention that the Harlem School of the Arts is in serious danger of permanently closing its doors pending an April 10th board meeting.

Hey guys! Even though I post at least 2 videos a week on my website and youtube, I think I'm going to post here one vlog a week. You can always check my site for videos I don't post here. My...
Link is to a video from NFL.com... Brian Dawkins talks about various things including Jim Johnson and being a leader... and now a Bronco. Good vid, even if only to see all the highlights of B-Dawks when still in Eagles green, flying through the air hammering various offensive stars. Lots big names taking big hits. PS. Its a couple weeks old, but I didn't see it posted anywhere on BGN... sorry if it's a double.
I'm totally with you on all three. The Eagles D has gone through more major changes than any other D in the league. The platoon of safeties will offer them a similar skill set to Dawkins (albeit via 2-3 players instead of one) and Bradley can be replaced by Gaither (similar POA win totals for those two last year) but their margin for error is much thinner now than it was last year.KC Joyner from an ESPN chat when asked how the Eagles defense will deal with the loss of Johnson, Dawkins, & now Bradley.

Eagles players wearing "JJ" on their helmets.
The Eagles have painted this tribute to Jim Johnson on the field at Lehigh. I wouldn't be surprised to see them wear a patch like this all year.
"You look at the family tree, so to speak, that he's put out there, and there's a reason why we've been so successful, it doesn't all come back to us. Jim has imparted a tremendous amount of knowledge on his assistants, and there's a reason why we've all been successful up to this point in our careers."" ""It was interesting last night we got the word right before we had meetings, and by the time I got out of the meetings, I had messages from all those 'brothers' that we have if you will. John Harbaugh, Steve Spagnuolo, everyone was checking on everyone else to make sure everyone was doing ok, and that's the way Jim would have wanted it."" ""He demanded excellence, and that's what you want,"" said McDermott.Sean McDermott talks about the passing of Jim Johnson and how his proteges reacted.

While more sentiments are sure to be pouring in over the coming week, a number of important figures around the NFL released statements about Jim Johnson.

Gardner: Abound Solar's DOE reports shed light on bankruptcy
"It's information that will be used to not only defend the taxpayers of this country, but to really give answers to the hundreds of employees who lost their jobs in Northern Colorado," Gardner said in a phone interview.
Gardner, R-Yuma, and other members of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee have been investigating Abound Solar and the energy department's loan guarantee program.
The quarterly reports, obtained by the Northern Colorado Business Report from the U.S. Department of Energy, reveal a series of production problems and that the Loveland-based company's revenue and output levels came in lower than it had anticipated through much of 2011.
Abound's Chapter 7 bankruptcy in July resulted in the layoffs of 125 people, in addition to the 280 job cuts it made earlier in the year, and the closure of facilities in Larimer and Weld counties.
Abound, in media interviews and testimony before Congress, has blamed competition from the Chinese for its failure.
Gardner said he believes China's support for its own solar industry played a role in Abound's bankruptcy, but he noted that lawmakers were also looking into problems in Abound's products.
House Republicans have suggested that a report from an engineering firm commissioned by the energy department in October 2010 — two months before it closed on the loan guarantee with Abound in December — indicated performance problems with Abound panels.
"The question is why would DOE move forward with a $400 million loan guarantee if they knew those product defects existed?" Gardner said.
Just what the DOE knew and when it knew has yet to be established.
Taxpayers will lose $40 million to $60 million from Abound's bankruptcy, the energy department has said.
"We know, in businesses, that people take risks," Gardner said. "But when that risk is borne by the taxpayers, and the governing body responsible knew the risks were unacceptable, that's what this investigation is about."

Jones, Geithner & Rahm
by Jerome Armstrong, Sun Sep 06, 2009 at 06:26:46 AM EDT
It's not that I'm a Van Jones fan, but the way that the Obama administration buckles to the rightwing nuts over a few statements the environmentalist made. I can't help but see it in light of how, in the face of actual substantial issue (not paying taxes) that Timothy Geithner was "too important" to fail. It's a systematic failure of this administration.
Van Jones is probably just as important a figure to the environmental movement as Geithner is to Wall Street, and this dosn't bode well for progressive environmental policies.
Who knew that Obama was so wedded to Rahm Emanual? Rham isn't single-handedly making Obama a failure at this point, but it does seem like Obama has become a delegator to a staff that only views things through re-election & money.
In essence, this is the mindset of Rahm Emanuel, and its precepts are as toxic as they are familiar: The only calculation that matters is maximizing political power. The only "change" that's meaningful is converting more Republican seats into Democratic ones. A legislative "win" is determined by whether Democrats can claim victory, not by whether anything constructive was achieved. The smart approach is to serve and thus curry favor with the most powerful corporate factions, not change the rules to make them less powerful. The primary tactic of Democrats should be to be more indispensable to corporate interests so as to deny the GOP that money and instead direct it to Democrats. The overriding strategy is to scorn progressives while keeping them in their place and then expand the party by making it more conservative and more reliant on Blue Dogs. Democrats should replicate Republican policies on Terrorism and national security -- not abandon them -- in order to remove that issue as a political weapon.
If those Emanuelian premises are the ones that you accept, if you believe that Obama should be guided by base concerns of political power, then you're likely to be satisfied with the White House's approach thus far -- both in general and on health care specifically. That would also likely mean that you're basically satisfied with the behavior of Democrats during the Bush era, and especially since 2006 when they won a majority in Congress, since that is what has driven them for the last decade: all that matters is that we beat the Republicans and we should do anything to achieve that, including serving corporate donors to ensure they fund Us and not Them and turning ourselves into war-making, civil-liberties-abridging, secrecy-loving GOP clones in the national security realm.
But that isn't what Obama pledged he would do when he campaigned...
...Even for those of you who are willing to justify anything and everything in the name of "political pragmatism," betraying clear campaign commitments and constantly exhibiting contempt for core progressive values doesn't seem to be working very well as a political strategy, to put that mildly.

*According to a 2001 report in Statistics in Medicine, the day of ovulation holds only a 5% chance of conception, but the four days before hold a cumulative 80% chance of conceiving. These new findings demonstrate that a woman's highest probability of conception is on the 4-5 days before ovulation.^
- OV-Watch® - Advanced Technology
How does OV-Watch® find the 4 days before ovulation like nothing else can?
**The chloride surge is an earlier predictor of ovulation than the LH surge or temperature charting method. OV-Watch® is the only wristwatch-like device that detects the chloride iron surge.

OV-Watch® uses the most advanced technology available in fertility prediction.
Researchers in the 1960s noted that numerous salts (chloride, sodium, potassium) in a woman's sweat fluctuated in relation to the menstrual cycle. Using a patented biosensor, the OV-Watch® detects the chloride surge 3 days prior to the estrogen surge, 4 days prior to the LH surge and 5 days prior to ovulation, making it an earlier predictor of ovulation than any other chemical surge during the month. For women trying to conceive, knowing the days before ovulation not only lowers the stress levels for her and her partner, but may increase her chances of getting pregnant.^
There are no devices available that can guarantee success in achieving pregnancy. OV-Watch® has been designed to assist in family planning (conception). Women with regular monthly cycles lasting between 24 and 35 days are suitable candidates to use the OV-Watch® fertility predictor. Women whose menstrual cycles are anovulatory might get misleading results from this device. OV-Watch® can be programmed for use by women with cycle from 20 days to 39 days in length. Incorrect setup or incorrect wearing of the device, or missing days of wear, may lead to erroneous or inconclusive results.
OV-Watch® is not intended for contraception and should not be used by women who are monitoring their cycles for the purpose of avoiding pregnancy.

TECO has fully restored gas service to 25 businesses in downtown Naples. Wednesday night around 7 p.m., a construction worker hit a two inch gas line on 4th Avenue.
When the gas was shut off around 7 p.m. Wednesday night, everything stopped at Vergenia Restaurant on Fifth Avenue.
"We suddenly lost gas supply in the kitchen," said Manager Gligor Tuparov.
Without gas, the cooks in the kitchen couldn't make any hot food, so the restaurant had to turn customers away.
A total of 25 businesses were without gas service.
It took crews about seven hours to repair the broken line. Gas service was fully restored to all businesses by 5 p.m. Thursday.

good job, mvpd. mountain view is a safe town because of the hard work of the police. the residents should help mountain view by not sheltering criminals bothe undocumented and documented amongst us. the food vendors in street corners are a nuisance to the public. their food may be contaminated and the crown around them unnecessarity blocks cars from making turns to their complexes and houses. i wish the police would crack down on these people. i am aware that they are trying to make a living.life is hard especially in this economy. but it is their duty to obey city's rules if they want to make a living here.

You like using that phrase "these people" huh?
on Apr 21, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I have a bone to pick with those vendors too. Do you think they all have a license to sell whatever it is they are selling? I need a job and would like to start selling some home baked goods from a cart, do you think the Police would look the other way if I started walking around selling my goods? How about a hot dog cart, do you think I could bypass getting a license just like they do?

- 1 History
- 2 Episodes
- 3 Trivia
- 4 Jess in Fandom
Jessica Lee Moore was born January 24, 1984 and she also shares a birthday with Dean and the date of both of their birthdays happen a couple of months after Mary's death. She was killed on November 2, 2005 in the same manner as Mary Winchester. She shared an apartment with Sam in Palo Alto and was also a student at Stanford. It is not known what she was studying.
1.01 Pilot
It is Halloween and Jess is dressed up in a sexy nurse costume and goes out for drinks with her boyfriend Sam Winchester, to celebrate his good LSAT score which should guarantee him a place in law school. Later that night, she wakes to find Sam talking to his brother Dean in the living room. The brothers haven't spoken for some time, and Dean has only turned up because their father has gone missing on what Dean calls a "hunting trip." Sam leaves to help Dean, promising to return by Sunday night. When Sam returns he grabs a cookie from the kitchen. He lies down on his bed, and opens his eyes to find Jessica, eviscerated, and burning on the ceiling.
1.02 Wendigo
Sam has a nightmare where he is putting flowers on Jess' grave, and her hand reaches up from the earth and grabs him.
1.05 Bloody Mary
Sam sees Jess on the street, in a long white nightgown. It was unclear if this was a vision or a memory.
When the brothers are attempting to trap Bloody Mary, Sam volunteers for the responsibility of calling her due to his guilt at Jess's death; Dean argues that it won't work as he knows how Sam could have prevented Jess's death, but Sam simply tells Dean that he doesn't know everything.
1.09 Home
Sam reveals to Dean that he had visions of Jess' death weeks before she died.
1.22 Devil's Trap
The Yellow-Eyed Demon mentions that Sam was shopping for engagement rings and intended to marry Jess.
2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be
In Dean's wishverse induced by the djinn, Jess and Sam are engaged.
2.21 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part One
Azazel confirms to Sam that he was responsible for the death of his mother and Jess.
The cost of doing business, I'm afraid. I mean, sweet little Jessica –- she just had to die. You were all set to marry that little blonde thing, become a tax lawyer with two kids, a beer gut, and a little McMansion in the suburbs. I needed you sharp on the road, honing your skills. Your gifts.
4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book
While Sam and Dean are talking with the Publisher of the Supernatural series, she mentions that she found Sam's decision to shoot Madison - "the first woman since Jessica he ever loved" - to be a particularly moving part of the series.
5.03 Free to Be You and Me
Lucifer appears as Jess in Sam's dreams, trying to convince him that he will never change, and that those close to him will continue to die (an alternate explanation is that Jess is part of Sam's subconscious, i.e. a dream, which Lucifer then invades.)
5.20 The Devil You Know
Azazel was concerned that Sam was losing his potential, and so it was revealed that Brady introduced Sam to Jess with the plan that her death would drive Sam back to hunting. It was Brady who killed Jess, on Azazel's instructions. Clearly his instructions were to make it appear as though Azazel killed her so Sam would recognize the death scene and continue hunting to get revenge.
- Jess shares a birthday with Dean: she was born January 24, 1984 (a couple of months after Mary's death). In an interview Eric Kripke said the reason for this was "...not a creepy, mythology, conspiracy reason. January 24 is my wife's birthday, and it's kinda my valentine to her."
- The studio bosses wanted Eric Kripke to write Jessica as an ongoing character, but Eric just thought it wouldn't work, and he suggested to kill her off, which they liked. Then the studio urged Kripke to make Jessica an evil demon character, who was planted into Sam's life with purpose, and whose betrayal drives him on the road as he realizes, demons are closer to him than he thought.S1Com, p. 13

Tate Modern looks to reassess the work of a great modern artist with the ground breaking exhibition Henri Matisse: The Cut Outs.
More than 120 works by the colourful and innovative genius have been brought together for the first time, celebrating the period in Matisse's career when his spectacular cut-outs came into existence. A final chapter in a working life that spanned half a century, the cut-outs helped cement his place as one of the most significant colourists of all time.
Ranging from Matisse's first efforts, collected together in Jazz 1947, to The Snail in 1953, the works were brought about when ill health prevented him from the physical act of painting. One of the most memorable pieces of this collection is Large Composition with Masks, a bold effort that's over 10 metres long. Curated by Nicholas Cullinan, this landmark show is a brilliant display of pure, innovative talent.

Remember all that Super Fun Talk about the Red Sox trading for Bruce Chen, just in case they have to play the Rays tomorrow in a one-game playoff?
Apparently we're not going to be that lucky.
What does "from within" mean, exactly?
Josh Beckett, Erik Bedard and Jon Lester will all be unavailable. The Red Sox' other starters lately have been John Lackey and Tim Wakefield, both of whom have struggled badly in their recent outings. Other options include Alfredo Aceves, Andrew Miller and Kyle Weiland, with Weiland -- a rookie with a 7.66 ERA -- perhaps the longest of long shots.
Aceves is 10-2 with a 2.63 ERA, but he's started only four games all season and he threw 36 pitches in a long relief outing Tuesday night.
Given his lack of attractive options -- there was a reason for all the Bruce Chen talk -- Terry Francona will probably just toss all those names into a hat, hope for three or four good innings, then work through his bullpen and hope for the best.

The Istanbul Department of the German Archaeological Institute was founded in 1929. Its photo archive is made up primarily of black-and-white photographs of Turkey, its population, architecture and archaeological artefacts. Its holdings consist of approx. 212.000 photos from the period 1880 - 2011. In contrast to the historical photographs from the 19th and early 20th centuries, in recent decades the image collection policy has focused on building up a comprehensive a visual documentation of Turkey's archaeological monuments. The archives of the Department's major excavation projects are for the most part not kept in Istanbul but at the university and research institutes which conduct the ongoing work: images from the Miletus excavation (in Bochum), Didyma (Berlin and Halle), Hattuşa (only historical photographs in Berlin), Priene (only new photos in Frankfurt) and Aizanoi (only new photos in Berlin).
The photo archive of the German Archaeological Institute has the task of sorting and preserving the images it holds and making them available to the public. To this end, the DAI supplies researchers with image material, and grants commercial users the right to reproduce images.
The photo archive of the Istanbul Department contains photographs arranged in the following broad categories:
1. Archaeological finds in the museums of Turkey
2. Archaeological sites in the various regions of Turkey
3. Historical buildings of Byzantion/Constantinople/Istanbul
4. Population of Turkey and its way of life over the centuries
• dealing with requests (research and selection of images in accordance with orders)
• making prints and scans; digital image transmission (print quality) on request
• clarifying questions of copyright and exploitation rights

I trying to find out the name of a book i read a fair while ago.
The story basically goes like this -
A man is travelling in a one person spaceship between worlds looking for new technology to help in a war. They approach a world and the ship detects anti-gravitational anomalies and they go to investigate. The anomalies turn out to be magic but the ship doesnt understand this. It wants to open the head of a wizard to find the differences. After a while the man wants to stay on the planet but the ship doesnt want him to and threatens to explode a small charge in the back of his skull. The wizards help him out by getting the charge out but in the process turn him into a wizard too.
I know that description is a bit here and there but its the best i can do after such a long time.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

If you a are the owner or top manager of a business, you have delegated certain responsibilities to other worksite managers and supervisors. You want to avoid undercutting their authority since that would interfere with their ability to carry out those responsibilities. At the same time, you want to demonstrate your own commitment to reducing safety and health hazards and protecting your work force. How do you walk this fine line?
- Put a complete safety and health program in place.
- Hold your managers and supervisors strictly accountable.
- Encourage employees to use the routine systems afforded to them by the safety and health program.
- Forge a partnership with your managers and supervisors that encourages employees to speak out and use the system.
Each method you use to improve workplace safety and health protection will work even better if complemented by the other techniques of good management. While the chapters of this manual separate safety and health program management into component parts, a functioning program is the sum of all those parts. Therefore, it would be a mistake to allow managers to pick and choose, using some program parts and not the rest.
This manual describes ways to implement OSHA's Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines. If you are setting up some version of what is described in all 12 chapters, you are probably providing a complete program. If you have any doubt, refer to Chapter 1 which provides the full text of the Guidelines and summary of what each part means.
In providing a complete safety and health program, you give your entire work force -- managers, supervisors, and rank and file employees -- the tools they need to work with you in keeping the worksite safe and healthful. A complete program addresses the needs and responsibilities of all employees.
Managers and supervisors held accountable for their safety and health responsibilities are more likely to press for solutions to safety and health problems than to present barriers to problem resolution. They are more likely to suggest new ideas for hazard prevention and control then oppose new ideas. By holding your managers and supervisors accountable, you encourage their positive involvement in the safety and health program. Your own involvement then is less likely to undercut or threaten their authority. For more information on developing accountability, see Chapter 6.
You have a full program in place, and you are holding your managers and supervisors accountable for carrying out their responsibilities. The next step is to encourage the rest of your work force to use the system built into the program and to do their part.
Encourage employees to take full advantage of opportunities to become involved in problem identification, problem solving and hazard reporting. Then, when they do become involved, make sure they get appropriate and timely management feedback, including recognition and reward.
When your program's systems are working well, most safety and health problems will be resolved before your employees feel the need to approach you directly. Big problems may arise, however, that the normal systems cannot handle. Your supervisors probably will understand that these problems are not a reflection on them, and that you are the proper person to address these concerns.
What should you do when an employee brings a problem or suggestion to your attention? Listen carefully! Then tactfully ask what attempts have been made already to solve the problem or submit the suggestion. In other words, what systems -- safety and health program mechanisms -- have already been used?
Perhaps the employee will respond that he/she has spoken with the supervisor but has gotten no action. This may indicate a problem within your program. Although unlikely, the problem may be a supervisor who genuinely does not care about having a safe or healthful workplace. Rather than approach this situation as a personal matter involving this particular supervisor, focus on how the system is not working. Maybe the supervisor did not understand the issue raised by the employee or could not explain to the employee why no action was necessary. Make clear to the supervisor's manager that you want the problem within the system to be resolved. If the supervisor's attitude is at least part of the problem, give the supervisor and his/her manager a chance to work it out. It is not a good idea to confront the supervisor based on one incident.
Obviously, if your accountability system is going to work, any individual who continues to present barriers to effective safety and health management will have to be held accountable. It is important, however, to try to separate any accountability activity from your immediate response to employee-raised questions, concerns or suggestions.
Remember, too, that your safety and health systems not only encourage employee involvement in identifying hazards and resolving problems, but also protect those employees from retaliatory and discriminatory actions, including unofficial harassment.
Make sure your supervisors know you understand that not every safety or health problem can be solved at the supervisory level. Call upon your managers and supervisors to help make the employee input systems work. Think of your work units -- crews, department -- as teams striving to identify and solve problems throughout whatever system mechanisms are needed. Your managers and supervisors are the team leaders, working with you and the other players toward a common goal.
You may wish to reward or otherwise recognize the teams that report hazards or suggest new hazard control ideas. Recognition can be based on the submission of reports and suggestions or on the quality of employee input. Let your managers and supervisors know that when an employee brings a safety or health matter to your attention, you consider that a good reflection of the supervisor's leadership.

BMW Drive Belt Parts
BMW has set themselves apart with their passion for quality and great designs, all the while pushing their competitors by producing high level vehicles. BMW is one of Germany's largest auto manufacturers, along with Audi and Mercedes. They round out the three top tier luxury vehicle creators on the globe. Their standing is reputable, as well as their products, particularly their drive belt parts and components. One of the most vital parts of today's BMW's is the serpentine belt, which gives power to the engine pulleys, the alternator, steering, and air conditioning systems. The serpentine belt passes through these areas and will last up to 150,000 miles on average. Today's serpentine belts are made of EPDM or ethylene propelen dyeen monomer. This is made to last for the lifespan of your BMW, but older models do not hold this type of advanced belt. Later BMW make should look for warning signs of damage at the 100,000 mile marker. If you have questions about BMW's drive belt parts or components, the FCP Euro team and website are always here for you.
BMW Drive Belt Parts Online
Whether it is problems within your BMW Drive Belt Pulley or BMW Drive Belt Tensioner, FCP Euro has what you need in stock, daily.One of the first warning signs you may come across is the loud high pitched noise your serpentine belt makes when it is worn or cracked. It is like a whine or screech. It may only happen for a few minutes at a time when it first starts up, but will gradually become louder the more you drive. This noise is telling you that the belt is slipping off its set track due to the wear and tear. This also means that your belt needs to be replaced. It is a good idea to watch and see if the noise comes up only when your BMW is gaining speed or when the engine is started from a cool temperature. This also points directly to a slipping belt. Replacing a serpentine belt, fortunately, is not complicated, but it does necessitate some know how. If you do not have full knowledge of your BMW, as an owner, you can usually bring your vehicle to your trusted mechanic to have them install it for you. This is not a time consuming ordeal and they should be able to have this ready for you in s short period of time. Before making an attempt to install the belt yourself, make sure you are qualified to do so in order to prevent any further damage to your BMW. FCP Euro's experienced and expert call center staff is available to answer any questions you have or support you may need. If you are even a not totally sure about which drive belt part or component is obligatory for your BMW, FCP has a huge line up for the BMW brand. Check out the FCP Euro website for all parts, as well as our updated inventory. If you have questions, would like to put in a phone order, or just have feedback, do not waver in giving FCP Euro a call at 877-634-0063 to connect with our service friendly team.

Toby Faletau benched for Munster trip
9:50am Thursday 20th September 2012 in Dragons By Chris Kirwan
TOBY Faletau will drop to the Newport Gwent Dragons bench for Saturday's clash with Munster.
Tom Brown, who has been a replacement in all three games this season, will get the nod for the RaboDirect Pro12 encounter at Thomond Park.
So far this campaign Faletau has failed to hit the heights that propelled him to stardom in the Wales back row.
However, there were mitigating circumstances in last weekend's deflating loss to Cardiff Blues at Rodney Parade.
The 21-year-old suffered a dead leg and it is that injury that prevents him from being a starter in Limerick, although it was likely that Brown would have been given a chance anyway.
"There is no point having these guys playing half fit because you just don't get out what you need from them," said head coach Darren Edwards.
"Toby was good at the contact area against the Blues, and that's something that we have been working on with him, but everybody loves to see him making breaks and he is not quite at his usual level.
"His dead leg means that Tom gets a game and as a flat our ball carrier he is suited to what we are going to face in Munster. He is very abrasive and we will need that confrontational edge.

The Dragons adopted the same no-risk policy they are taking with Faletau when they headed over the Irish Sea to face Leinster a fortnight ago.
On that occasion Dan Lydiate, who was struggling with a minor chest injury, was left out of their travelling party altogether.

Police say a woman was shot in the stomach and a man was shot in the head on Monday around 7:30 p.m. near 25th Avenue and Ocotillo Road -- not far from Interstate 17.
Phoenix Police Sgt. Steve Martos says, "The suspect in this case is known to both victims. It is believed this incident precipitated with argument which occurred earlier in the day between the victims and the suspect."
Authorities say the suspect currently wanted by police is 24-year-old Jarvis Crush.
"Jarvis is wanted for 1st degree murder and attempted 1st degree murder. During the course of this investigation, detectives learned the argument between the victims and this suspect stemmed from a $15 debt," said Martos.
Both victims were hospitalized. The female sustained a non-life threatening injury. Police say the male, identified as 25-year-old Anthony DeMartini, died from the injuries he sustained in this crime.
If you have any information about this case, call the Phoenix Police Department Violent Crimes Bureau at (602) 262-6151 or Silent Witness at (480) WITNESS.

The Pearl is great for families and even though we went during spring break it did not seem to be to be out of control with college kids as I have read on other posts. Lots of activities to keep the kids busy and many nights they preferred to eat in the buffet or Blue Lagoon and we would meet up later for the show.
We found the main dining room service to be good, nothing wrong, just not outstanding service as we experienced last year in Alaska. You cannot go wrong with either the service or food at Cagney's or Teppanyaki's-simply spectacular. The buffet set up is much better on the Jewel. The Pearl buffet area is more enclosed and rather chaotic during busy times. Finding a seat can be a challenge as well but not so much that it wrecked our vacation.
Shore Excursion were great. Cayo Levantado was beautiful and would highly recommend, only thing that needs improvement is the tender process, simply horrible. Had to wait in line for a tender ticket only to have people cut in front of you and then find people who did not wait in line get on the same tender-Would highly recommend NCL get this process figured out-very frustrating.
Overall great ship and staff and plan to cruise to Alaska again in 2012!

While it was recently reported that Sam Raimi and Disney were fighting over a key female role in "Oz The Great And Powerful" -- the director wanted Hilary Swank, but the studio was looking at Michelle Williams -- another actress entirely has snagged the part.
Heat Vision reveal that Rachel Weisz has joined the film, marking a rare tentpole appearance. Starring alongside James Franco and Mila Kunis, the prequel of sorts follows Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmanuel Ambroise Diggs (a.k.a. Oz), a showman and magician at a traveling circus who flees in a hot air balloon after being caught canoodling with a customer's wife only to be swept away in a terrible storm to wake up in the magical land of Oz, which is run by two magical wicked witches. Weisz will play Kunis' older sister who intends to rule the land and tries to lure her sibling to the dark side.
It doesn't need to be said that Weisz is a fine "compromise" if indeed the director and studio were pushing and pulling over Swank and Williams. It's a great bit of casting and a nice change of pace for the actress. The film is gearing up for a July shoot with a release date yet to be set, but likely coming in 2012.

Patty | May 4, 2011 4:09 AM
I read that Blake Lively from that god awful show gosip girls has the part.
Cathy | May 4, 2011 3:43 AM
I actually did not care about this film but now with Rachel Weisz on board, i might actually pay to see it. She's about the best casting this film has in terms of real talent.
rodie | May 4, 2011 3:35 AM
So, wait, is Weisz the "Wicked Witch of the West" and Kunis is the witch that ends up with Dorothy's house on top of her, and the third witch cast will be "Glinda the Good Witch?"
Sammantha | May 4, 2011 3:33 AM
I would take Rachel Weisz over Anne Hathaway any day of the week, especially for Catwoman.
And yes, Rachel is a better choice than Michelle Williams & Hilary Swank.
sp | May 4, 2011 3:26 AM
Wow, people cannot stand Michelle Williams & Hilary Swank. Tony, I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I hear Anne Hathaway's screen test opposite Christian Bale was very good- that is why she got the Catwoman role.
Tony | May 4, 2011 3:22 AM
Rachel Weisz is hands down the best actress of our generation. She's amazing in everything she does. Compromise? she's an vast improvement over both Hilary Swank and Michelle Williams. Hell, Rachel should have been cast as Catwoman over Anne Hathaway.
Craig | May 4, 2011 3:10 AM
Aren't there still two more female roles to be cast? Sisters of the Kunis character? If so Swank or Williams could still be in play.
Dom | May 4, 2011 3:04 AM
Love Rachel Weisz, very attractive and sexy. I hope that she does more American mainstream movies from now on.
Lucy | May 4, 2011 2:48 AM
Yay Rachel Weisz is one of the best actresses out there and one of my favorites. This film actually sounds good and the cast is great so far. I'm glad that Hilary Swank didnt get it I just cant stand to watch her on film something about her really annoys me.
Linda | May 4, 2011 2:30 AM
A fine "compromise"? Rachel Weisz is a better actress than both Hilary Swank and Michelle Williams. Weisz has actually played different types of roles while both Swank and Williams seem to play the same role over and over again.

Some people tried to convince Charles Lindbergh that he shouldn't attempt his 1927 New York-to-Paris flight in an airplane with only one engine. His response was that two engines would double his odds of having an engine failure. In the graveyard humor of pilots, the saying goes, "The second engine will take you directly to the scene of the accident." So Lucky Lindy chose a single Wright J5 Whirlwind to power the Spirit of St. Louis, and the rest is history.

PEORIA, Ill. --- Area residents have a new place to get active.
Last October, the Peoria Park District acquired the old YWCA building next to Lakeview Park.
Since then, they have been working to turn the building into a new destination for recreation.
Activity is already bustling on the newly renovated floor of the Lakeview Recreation Center.
These pickleball players are competing in one of the programs already offered at the new facility.
"Plenty of playing room, it's a good court, good surface," said East Peoria resident Debra Dell.
Complete with two gymnasiums and several classrooms, the center is planned to be used for much more than just the sport of pickleball as time moves on.
"We have a youth basketball league starting at the end of January," said Scott Loftus, supervisor of athletics. "We have fitness classes. We're going to have a summer day camp, spring break camp, basketball leagues, open volleyball, open gyms, and different community classes."
Park district officials are hoping the new location will provide another option for residents.
"This is really something for us that is north of War Memorial that we think the residents around this area will enjoy," Loftus said.
"The area itself is pretty. You got the park out there, green area. You got the water park out there, the Owens Center," said Peoria resident Mike Mitchell.
The park district hopes to have the facility open seven days a week by mid-February but it is a non-membership based center, so expect to pay for individual classes or activities.
"This gives you an avenue to be active, to have a purpose everyday," said Mapleton resident Robert Mitchell.
Future plans include restoring a turtle pool.

Customer Testimonial
We built a home on the Mississippi River and see barges, Delta Queen, Mississippi Queen and other river traffic. It seemed appropriate to use turn of the century décor for the location, so used the Medallion tile edged with Stratford. I had too many Medallion and not enough Stratford to do the job. You exchanged the tiles with no questions asked. We appreciated working with you. We found the price equivalent to inexpensive big box store low-end tiles, but Ceilume tiles looked like tiles twice the price at the big box stores.

More reshuffling at post-security breach Y-12
OAK RIDGE — More than a month after a security breach shattered the aura of invincibility at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant, the government is still assessing blame, carrying out multiple investigations and evaluations in an intense environment, and shuffling key personnel.
Perhaps the biggest news of the week was the National Nuclear Security Administration's decision to relocate Dan Hoag, the deputy manager of the NNSA Production Office — which oversees operations at both Y-12 and the Pantex weapons assembly plant in Texas — and a prominent figure in the federal management of Y-12 for several years. Hoag was given a detail assignment to the U.S. Department of Energy's oversight office at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The assignment took effect early last week.
Initially, the NNSA and DOE refused to confirm Hoag's assignment, and Oak Ridge officials have yet to discuss the move. However, on Friday, NNSA Administrator Tom D'Agostino released a staff memo at agency headquarters in Washington, D.C., that said Hoag was being sent temporarily to ORNL while Brigadier Gen. Sandra Finan — the NNSA's principal assistant deputy administrator for military application — conducts a review of the federal agency's organizational structure for security oversight of the nuclear weapons complex and the chain of command in carrying out security operations.
In a similar move earlier at NNSA headquarters, Doug Freeman, the head of defense nuclear security, was reassigned to another position during the security review.
It's not clear whether these officials will be returned to their former jobs after Finan's review is completed. That, presumably, will depend on the outcome of the agency's assessment of how security was and should be managed.
According to the D'Agostino memo, Hoag will "provide senior-level technical support (at ORNL), filling a critical void for the Office of Science and enabling the Department (of Energy) to benefit from the experience and leadership of one of our executives."
In Washington, Jeff Harrell, director of the NNSA's Office of Secure Transportation, was tapped to replace Freeman on an acting basis as an associate administrator, heading up defense nuclear security. Kerry Clark, who had been serving as acting deputy of the Office of Secure Transportation, is replacing Harrell as director for the time being.
There's no firm timetable for completing the personnel shake-up. Top officials from DOE and the NNSA, which is a semiautonomous unit of the Department of Energy responsible for the nuclear weapons program, are scheduled to appear this week before a couple of congressional subcommittees to discuss the Y-12 incident and the actions taken since then.
In the predawn hours of July 28, three Plowshares protesters infiltrated the Oak Ridge installation and managed to reach the high-security inner core, where they spray-painted anti-weapons messages on the plant's uranium storage facility and splattered the site with human blood. The three are facing federal charges, including two felonies, with the trial in U.S. District Court set for Feb. 26.
Meanwhile, there are continuing personnel moves at the federal contractors involved in Y-12 security.
B&W Y-12, a partnership of Babcock & Wilcox and Bechtel National that manages Y-12, recently hired Linda Bauer as vice president of facilities, infrastructure and services. One of the big problems identified during the early investigations of the security incident was the failure of technology to work properly. Even though the security fences were supposedly loaded with high-tech equipment to help detect and assess threats to the plant's Protected Area, a lot of the cameras and sensors apparently weren't working — or at least weren't working as expected. There was a reported history of slow repairs.
Bauer previously was senior vice president of Los Alamos Technical Associates and earlier held management jobs at other high-security facilities. Steve Little, who formerly held the vice president's position, now reports to Bauer and will hold the title of senior director and deputy vice president.
In the days immediately following the July 28 break-in, some top executives at B&W Y-12 were removed, including President and General Manager Darrel Kohlhorst; Deputy General Manager Bill Klemm; and Butch Clements, the vice president for safeguards and security and emergency services. All three reportedly retired.
Chuck Spencer, who had experience in the weapons complex while working for URS before joining B&W, was named the new general manager at Y-12. Rod Johnson, who held a high-ranking position at Pantex, was brought to Oak Ridge to head security for B&W Y-12.
Gary Wisdom, the NNSA official in charge of security operations for Y-12 and Pantex, had been based in Texas, but since the security incident at Y-12 he's been spending his time in Oak Ridge.
There also was upheaval at WSI-Oak Ridge, which is the protective forces subcontractor at Y-12.
After the security breach, General Manager Lee Brooks and Gary Brandon, the protective force director at Y-12, were removed from their positions. Steve Hafner, a senior vice president with WSI (a unit of G4S Government Solutions), was brought to Oak Ridge from a position at Hanford, Wash., to take over as general manager. John Garrity was promoted to Brandon's position, but has since been "administratively reassigned" after questions were raised about possible cheating on security reviews by providing advance copies of tests to security guards. Bobby Mullins is now acting as Y-12's protective director for WSI.
John Burleson, who oversaw all of WSI's work for the Department of Energy, has also been removed from his job. According to WSI, Brooks, Brandon and Burleson are all awaiting other job assignments within the company.
The security company has not provided details on those reassignments, but WSI spokeswoman Courtney Henry said all of those jobs will be on company contracts unrelated to DOE and the NNSA.
