Nurminen Logistics has provided M-real with services at its many locations for several years.
At Vuosaari Nurminen provides intermediate storage and containerisation services for M-real carton.
Nurminen stores the products at railway terminals for the time period required by the customer.
M-real's products reach Nurminen's logistics centre mainly by train.
Metsä Board is best known as the market leader in Europe for lightweight bending chip, but its products are also widely sold all around the world. Because its bending chip production facilities are located in Finland, supply chain management is an important part of Metsä Board's business operations. Nurminen Logistics has indeed provided Metsä Board with services at its many locations for several years, but cooperation with the Vuosaari logistics centre sprang into action in 2011. At Vuosaari Nurminen provides intermediate storage and containerisation services for Metsä Board carton travelling by ship all over the world. Metsä Board's products reach the logistics centre mainly by train, but road transport is used as well. Nurminen stores the products at railway terminals for the time period required by the customer, and subsequently containerises them so they can be loaded on the ship.
Before we started using Nurminen Logistics' services in Vuosaari we charted out the situation thoroughly: our options included all Finnish harbours and a couple of inland containerisation locations. There were two reasons we chose Vuosaari and Nurminen Logistics: the availability of containers and the price of the services. Furthermore, other factors in favour of Nurminen Logistics were previous experience and our trust in them. Nurminen has also proven to be worthy of our trust. Work has been organised well at the Vuosaari logistics centre, and the entire personnel see to it that matters requiring attention are dealt with in a reliable manner through to the end, regardless of their level in the organisation.
Anna-Leena Grönqvist-Hulbekkmo, Director, Logistics, Metsä Board plc
We strive to serve Metsä Board with as much flexibility as possible according to their needs, whatever they may be at any given time. The railway terminal at our Vuosaari logistics centre, wiath its blind track, is a perfect match for precisely this type of client, so the services can be carried out effortlessly thanks to our terminal and skilled personnel.

The biggest flash drive in the world
ViON have produced a 100TB DRAM solid state drive, which they claim to be the largest flash memory-based storage box in the world. The HyperStor-6200 uses both Hitachi Data Systems and Texas Memory Systems technology - think RamSan 6200 - and provides five million I/Os per second (IOPS) with 60GB/sec bandwidth. It is a monster …
>What else would need such an extreme of SSD design?
need <> want, and I suspect that it's a want, which someone has disguised as a need as in 'we don't want the terry-wrists getting hold of this technology first!'.
Backup of the Internet?
Back in the day we were joking about people trying to backup the Internet on their diskettes "to carry home" ... now these guys are trying to backup the Internet -- in real time :)
Have we abandoned Reg SI Units?
How many Wrists does all this translate into?
Can I...
order one of these, and one of the Jaguars made by Cray from the Top500 article please... you do take American Express don't you?
Hmmm.... Who'd need this?
A database with three billion records and multi-XMP processing... Just don't turn the fences off this time.
Flash forward 6 months...
What else would need such an extreme of SSD design?
Maybe they're testing a Beta of Windows 8 ?
It's a backup of there "Personal entertainment" cough cough :D 60GB/s Makes for perfect HD streaming if you ask me.
Maybe this is the next step towards a better backup solution as tapes and ordinary HDD just dont provide the bandwith or storage required. With this i could backup my PC in just over 30 seconds
@ Testing beta of Windows 8?
Or Orifice 2010!
I must be jaded
100 TB just doesn't seem newsworthy anymore, even for flash. It's big, sure enough, but not THAT big. Now, had it been 100 PB, then I'd think it was cool.
... or you are just not getting it.
Memory stick that you carry in your bag = 8GB. 100 TB = 12800 of those.
Of course if you can build a big enough USB farm, park some ZFS on it and actually get some USB bus speed that can drive it, and you remember that you don't have any moving parts, you'r right, it is just not that cool.
Tut tut...
Raid isn't about protection, it's about availability... However it does beg the question... How do you back this bugger up?!
How big?
Memory stick sized would ge good but micro sd would be even better.
In 10 years time we'll all be saying "Remember when they brought out that 100TB SSD that was the size of a wardrobe? Those were the days!"
Could be for the criminal DNA database
with so many law enforcement agencies looking up that info on a daily basis, this would help speed things along nicely and get the week to a month turnaround for queries down a bit.
Or they're playing nuclear wargames on it.
@Sly re: criminal DNA database
You've got it all wrong - in the US, we have a database for the DNA of criminals. It's you guys with the DNA database which IS criminal.
What the fup!
After extensive fine tuning, the darn thing only achieves a Windows Vista Experience index base score of 3.8...
turn it into a soho commodity
and then I'll be impressed.
Raid can be about protection
RAID 1(+) mirrors so it protects against hardware failure.
Sure saying RAID protection can be misleading as RAID doesn't always involve mirroring.
And of course mirroring is not a complete backup solution, but it does offer protection, protection against hardware failure.
And of course it is wrong to say that RAID is just about availability, in fact more often it is about performance, whether striping on flash memory gives performance is probably worthy of investigation.
So what
A number of techie types round here have been competing to build the biggest home NAS and there are at least two jokers with 20TB in their back bedrooms.
Ah, the old days
I unforget installing a 'ram disk' on Baker Perkins' IBM mainframe. It was the size of a couple of filing cabinets, and looked like a 10" removable platter disk drive to the OS, while being a hundred times faster.
It used about five horse-power's worth of electricity and contained something like 25Mb as I recall. Or would have done if the tight bastards had ordered it full.
At the time the streetlights outside were still gas-lit.
I don't understand.....
PCI Express 2.0 with the 32 relation is 32Gb per second. How i can use 60Gb/sec. ???
Now semi-soused civil servants can leave whole governments worth of information on the train on a Friday night

10.6: Enable native NTFS read/write support
I think there are good reasons... After doing some heavy copying my file system got corrupted. Windows' chkdsk /f could recover most files, but some directories were messed up.
Sure, maybe the disk is broken, or M-x butterfly flipped an unfortunate bit, but any NTFS problem Windows won't fix automatically seems suspicious to me. I'll return to NTFS-3G...

Democratization in the kitchen and production
2 Comments · Posted by Philip in Random Thought, The Business of Production
One of my non-metadata interests is in food, so I read a lot of food related articles, including this one where Anthony Bourdain talks about the foodie revolution. What stood out was this comment after discussing the traditional way a talented young chef might make their way through the kitchen hierarchy over decades, vs the modern "democratized" approach where a talented young chef just ups - maybe via a food truck – and gets their career started.
"A lot of old-school guys complain about this—you're not paying your dues. That's the downside. The upside is interesting people with something to say and a unique worldview can actually get their name out there and open a place with relative ease compared to the way it used to be."
This reminds me of modern production: it's been democratized to the point where, if you have an idea, you can make it happen.
Final Cut Pro X for (basic) Audio Editing.
11 Comments · Posted by Philip in Apple Pro Apps, Random Thought
Most of the episodes of The Terence and Philip Show are edited by interns at Alpha Dogs, and we're very thankful for their efforts. From time to time I edit a show and have always, until now, edited them in Soundtrack Pro. But I love the Magnetic Timeline in FCP X and thought it would be perfect for the audio editing. So this time I tried it, and was surprised at the results.
Why is making software smarter "dumbing it down"?
22 Comments · Posted by Philip in Random Thought, Technology, Video Technology
Shortly after I first arrived in the USA, I was teaching some Final Cut Pro classes for Intelligent Media. It was just before Final Cut Pro 2 was released, which I had been beta testing for some months, but 1.2.5 was the release version we were teaching. At that time it was challenging for new users to get settings right, particularly getting a good match between Capture and Sequence settings, so the first half day was dedicated to teaching settings and making sure they were right. It was personally frustrating because I knew that the about-to-be-releaseed version was much smarter about settings.
As it turns out, Final Cut Pro 2 was released early the next morning, so the first thing I had to do in that second day of class was tell my students that what we had learned the day before was no longer relevant for version 2 because the software had become smarter, and that made it easier for people to use Final Cut Pro and no doubt contributed to its success.
When Logic doesn't help
10 Comments · Posted by Philip in Apple Pro Apps, Business & Marketing, Random Thought
I was have a beer last night with my friend Joe B – @zbutcher on Twitter, follow him and check out his Final Cut Pro X curation site linking to all the stories he can find – and naturally the conversation covered the current Final Cut Pro X release and the consequent debate. In my mind, a good discussion is one I come away from with enlightened or changed thinking. And this was a good conversation. (more…)
What is creativity, art, Art and design?
3 Comments · Posted by Philip in Business & Marketing, Random Thought
Recent conversations – in person and on Twitter – have had me thinking about creativity and art: what are they and how do they apply to film, television and other production?
Most people associate "art" with the fine arts, but I think the term gets used without much real content. Most often "art" is conflated with "creativity". With the additional complication that most people don't understand what they mean by "creativity", once again conflating it with fine art.
How disaster proof are you?
7 Comments · Posted by Philip in Business & Marketing, General, Random Thought
After perhaps one tsunami video too many, we got to talking seriously about backup and how "secure we were". It was a disturbing revelation, particularly for people who live in an earthquake zone where the next "big one" is expected before I die!
Of course we both have dedicated drives for our Time Machine backups (being all OS X based here) but they're in the same physical space as our computers, so if for some reason that was destroyed, we'd be no better off than having no backup. Ditto the demonstration media and archives of projects. Locally they're stored on a RAID 1 drive for redundancy.
Having started raising the question, what are the answers? And that leads to the examination of what it is that you would need to get your "life back", at least close to where it is now. I thought I'd share our thinking to stimulate your thinking, not only about a total disaster, but an immediate smaller one.
Professionalism is for Amateurs
1 Comment · Posted by Philip in Business & Marketing, Item of Interest, Random Thought
Professionalism is for Amateurs http://tinyurl.com/45doktd
After making the case that "professionals" rejected the founders of Google, the founders of Apple and that amateurs created the "much bigger than the pro encyclopedia" Wikipedia, the article finishes with this clincher:
My reluctance to work with so called 'professionals' goes so far that whenever someone says "Lets do this the professional way" or "But that doesn't seems professional" I can't help but instinctively move in the other direction. If it seems professional to me it sounds boring and unoriginal.
Its the awkward people, the creative thinkers and the unconventional innovators that rule the world. Not the people who act 'professional' and follow the beaten path.
Re-invent the world; act unprofessionally!
But what really is a professional?
What do Cinerama and 3D have in common?
1 Comment · Posted by Philip in 3D, Interesting Technology, Random Thought
Was at the Cinerama Dome to view the restored print of Windjammer and it occurred to me that there's a lot of commonality between Cinerama (the three camera/three projector widescreen of the late 50′s and early 60′s) and 3D.
But first, a little back story. I have been consulting on the restoration of Windjammer as a technical consultant: making sure that the maximum amount of quality we could get from the print was available for the restoration.
I also advised on tools for the job. The Foundry's Furnace Core featured prominently as did Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro. I also helped set workflow and kept everything running smoothly.
Unfortunately the complete negatives for the three panels of Windjammer are not complete. In fact the only place the entire movie is available was in a badly faded composite 35mm Anamorphic print.
You can see the trailer, remastering process and how we telecined (Oh look, it's me in the telecine bay) online, but today was the only time it's likely to be shown in a Cinerama Theater.
David Strohmaier and Greg Kimble did a great job on the restoration – all on Macs with Final Cut Pro and After Effects.
Now this wasn't a full reconstruction so we worked in HD – 1080p24 – but used the full height during telecine and correction so we didn't waste any signal area with black. For the DVD, due in early 2011, the aspect ratio is corrected and a "smile box" (TM) treatment to simulate the surround nature of Cinerama.
Because we were working in HD, I was pleasantly impressed by how great it looked at Cinerama size on the Arclight Theater's Dome Cinema in Hollywood. (Trivia point: the Dome was built for Cinerama it never showed Cinerama until this decade.)
Another point of interest was that the whole show ran off an AJA KiPro as it did in Bradford earlier in the year, and Europe last month. Each Act of the 140+ minute show was contained on one drive pack. Can't recommend the KiPro highly enough.
So, there we were enjoying the story (and restoration work) and it occurred to me that there were strong similarities in cinematic style between "made for 3D" 3D and Cinerama.
Cinerama seams together three projectors into a very wide screen view that was the precursor of modern widescreen. The very wide lens angles favor the big, panoramic shots and shots that are held rather than rapid cutting. Within this frame the viewer's eyes are free to wander across multiple areas of interest within the frame.
Similarly, my experience of "made for 3D" 3D movies is that it is most successful when shots are held a little bit longer because each time a 3D movie makes a cut, it takes the audience out of the action for a moment while we re-orient ourselves in space. (Unfortunately there's nothing analogous to that in the Human Visual System, unlike traditional 2D cutting, which mimics the Human Visual System – eyes and brain together .)
Both Cinerama and 3D work best (in my humble opinion) when the action is allowed to unfold within the frame, rather than the more fluid camera of less grand 2D formats or 3D.
Since 3D had its last heyday around the same time as Cinerama, maybe everything old is new again? Digital Cinerama anyone? (How will we sync three KiPros?)
And one little vanity shot since today was the first (and likely last) time I've had my credit up on the big screen in a real cinema:
Why are most production workflows inefficient?
13 Comments · Posted by Philip in Random Thought, Studio 2.0, The Business of Production, Video Technology
In my experience few productions – be they film or television – are well planned from a workflow perspective. It seems that people do what's apparently cheapest, or what they have done in the past. This is both dangerous – because the production workflow hasn't been tested – and inefficient.
In a perfect world (oh *that* again!) the workflow would be thoroughly tested: shoot with the proposed camera, test the digital lab if involved; test the edit all the way through to the actual output of the project. Once the proposed workflow is tested it can be checked for improved efficiency at every step. Perhaps there are software solutions for automating parts of the process that require only small changes to the process to be extremely valuable. Perhaps there are alternatives that would save a lot of time and money if they were known about.
Instead of tested and efficient workflows, people tend to do "what they've done before". When there are large amounts of money at stake on a film or TV series it's understandable that people opt for the tried and true, even if it's not particularly efficient because "it will work".
Part of the problem is that people simply do not test their workflows. I've been involved with "film projects" (both direct to DVD and back out to cinematic release) where the workflow for post was not set until shooting had started. In one example the shoot format wasn't known until less than a week before shooting started.
Maybe there was a time when you could simply rely on "what went before" for a workflow, but with the proliferation of formats and distribution outputs, there are more choices than ever to be made.
Which brings me to the other part of the problem. Most people making workflow decisions are producers, with input from their chosen editor. Chances are, unfortunately, that neither group are very likely to truly understand the technology that underpins the workflow – or even why the workflow "works". They know enough of what they need to know to get by but my experience has been that most working producers and editors do not actively invest time into learning the technology and improving their own value.
And when they're not working, they're working on getting more work. Again, not surprising.
But somewhere along the way, we need producers to research and listen to advisors (like myself) who do understand the workflow and do have a working knowledge of changing technology that can be make a particular project much more efficient to produce, but I have no idea how to connect those producers with the people who can help.
We've seen, in just a little under two years, how technology can improve workflows, just with our relatively minor contributions:
Rent a couple of LockIt boxes (or equivalent) on set and save days and days synchronizing audio and video from dual system shoots;
Log your documentary material in a specific way, and take weeks off post production finding the stories in the material (Producers can even do a pre-edit);
Understand how to build a spreadsheet of your titles and how to make a Motion Template and automate the production of titles (and changes to same).
If you know you can recut a self contained file into it's scene components, how does that change color correction for your project;
Import music with full metadata.
These are all examples of currently-available software tools from my company and others that are working to make post production more efficiently. I wrote more about this in my Filling in the NLE Gaps for DV Magazine.
My question though, is how do we encourage producers to "look around and see what's available" and open up their workflows to a little modern technology. To this end, Intelligent Assistance is looking to work closely with a limited group of producers in 2010 to find ways to streamline, automate and make-more-robust postproduction workflows. So, if you're a producer and want to save time and money in post, email me or post in the comments.
If you've got ideas on how encourage producers move toward more metadata-based workflows? How do we get the message out?
How do we solve the problem of media piracy?
1 Comment · Posted by Philip in Business & Marketing, Distribution, Random Thought
So apparently some author comes up with a figure that online unauthorized distribution is costing the book publishing business $3 billion a year. (Once again repeating the totally bogus argument that each download is a lost sale but that's for another post.) One has to question the independence of the study when the writer works for a company presenting a "solution" to the problem they identify, but let's leave it for the moment.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. There's another industry that costs the book publishing business $100 billion a year in lost sales: libraries. Using the same methodology as the study in the cited publisher's weekly article above, this blogger calculates that libraries have cost publishers $1 Trillion dollars in the last decade.
So, if we're going to solve the book "piracy" problem in a way that really helps publishers, we'll have to close all the libraries. After all they're costing publishers more than 30x more than any unauthorized distribution does: even if you calculate that unauthorized distribution with totally bogus methodologies.
In fact, photocopying also costs the print publishing industry billions of dollars a year, so we should regulate their use. In fact, if the RIAA/MPAA want a "three strikes" rule, then it should be applied to everything.
A three-strikes rule (as introduced in France) would mean that if an unsubstantiated assertion from a record-company-appointed "watchdog" is made against an IP address, the account would be cancelled and the user taken off the Internet. (Note: this is without judicial process; without any proof that the account holder did the download; with a system that has accused dead people of "piracy" or any other legal process we normally hold as being important before issuing punishment. At least there has to be a trial!)
So, if this is a good idea for music or movies (like they're some "special" category) then it obviously should be carried through to protect print publishers as well. According to "Freedom to Tinker" it would work like this:
The government sets up a registry of accused infringers. Anybody can send a complaint to the registry, asserting that someone is infringing their copyright in the print medium. If the government registry receives three complaints about a person, that person is banned for a year from using print.
As in the Internet case, the ban applies to both reading and writing, and to all uses of print, including informal ones. In short, a banned person may not write or read anything for a year.
A few naysayers may argue that print bans might be hard to enforce, and that banning communication based on mere accusations of wrongdoing raises some minor issues of due process and free speech. But if those issues don't trouble us in the Internet setting, why should they trouble us here?
Yes, if banned from using print, some students will be unable to do their school work, some adults will face minor inconvenience in their daily lives, and a few troublemakers will not be allowed to participate in — or even listen to – political debate. Maybe they'll think more carefully the next time, before allowing themselves to be accused of copyright infringement.
In short, a three-strikes system is just as good an idea for print as it is for the Internet. Which country will be the first to adopt it?
After all, if it's fair to have people cut off the Internet (and their life) based on three unsupported, unproven assertions from anyone, it should apply to everything. Right? It should apply to the children of Record Company executives (who apparently only got a "talking to" from their father -wish I could find a link to that story).
This is, of course, after the RIAA and MPAA have totally failed to establish that they have had any loss from piracy. (The biggest grossing movies were mostly pirated before release from within the studio.) Study after study (sorry Adage login required) after study shows that those who download music are the biggest buyers of music, but facts have never gotten in the way of idiot assertions from these organizations.
So, either we apply "three strikes" under some reasonable regime that would require the record company or movie studio to actually do what the law requires and identify the person at the account and prove that they uploaded a file as "making available" is not established legal precedent in any jurisdiction; or we'll allow a regime where anyone can be accused of "piracy" by any other person without proof or the need to follow established law.
Which are you going to support?

APTA President William Millar Statement to the Senate
Millar gives APTA stance on rail security to Committee on Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs
Transit authorities have significant and specific transit security needs. Based on APTA's 2003 Infrastructure Database survey, over 2,000 rail stations do not have security cameras. According to our 2005 Transit Vehicle Database, 53,000 buses, over 5,000 commuter rail cars, and over 10,000 heavy rail cars do not have security cameras. Less than one-half of all buses have automatic vehicle locator systems (AVLs) that allow dispatchers to know the location of the bus if an emergency occurs. Nearly 75 percent of demand response vehicles lack these AVLs. Furthermore, no transit system has a permanent biological detection system. In addition, only two transit authorities have a permanent chemical detection system. A more robust partnership with the federal government could help to better address many of these specific needs.
We are disappointed that the Administration proposed only $600 million for a Targeted Infrastructure Protection Program in last year's FY 2007 DHS budget proposal, which would fund infrastructure security grants for transit, seaports, railways and other facilities. We are also disappointed that the Administration failed to include a specific line item funding amount for transit security. We look forward to working with the Administration and Congress to increase transit security funding and better address unmet transit security needs throughout the country.
APTA is a Standards Development Organization (SDO) for the public transportation industry. We are now applying our growing expertise in standards development to transit industry safety and security, best practices, guidelines and standards. We have already begun to initiate our efforts for security standards development and we have engaged our federal partners from both the DHS and Department of Transportation in this process. We look forward to working with the Administration and Congress in support of this initiative. Unfortunately, DHS has not agreed to provide funding to APTA in this effort. We respectfully urge Congress to provide $500,000 to the DHS so that it can in turn provide that amount in grant funding to the APTA security standards program which includes participation of our federal partners to assist with the development of such standards and practices consistent with what we have already seen through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Our efforts in standards development for commuter rail, rail transit and bus transit operations have been significant and our status as a SDO is acknowledged by both the FTA and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The FTA and the Transportation Research Board have supported our standards initiatives through the provision of grants.
We also would like to work with Congress and the Department of Homeland Security's Directorate of Science and Technology to take a leadership role in advancing research and technology development to enhance security and emergency preparedness for public transportation.
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, public transit systems across the country have worked very hard to strengthen their security plans and procedures. They have also been very active in training personnel and conducting drills to test their capacity to respond to emergencies. Also, to the extent possible within their respective budgets, transit systems have been incrementally hardening their facilities through the introduction of additional technologies such as surveillance equipment, access control and intrusion detection systems. While transit systems have been diligent, they have been unable to fully implement programs with the current levels of assistance from the federal government.

Necessary for cooling clippers
posted 5 years ago
necessary to have this on hand if you are clipping your own dogs. Amazing how it works. Have not used it in awhile because we are now using a professional groomer but did use it frequently in the past when we were shaving down OES.
Pros: Good for keeping clippers cool during long use
Cons: Fumes from spray

99 Taurus Duratec High Idle on Startup
99 Taurus Duratec High Idle on Startup
Normally, I wait for the idle to slow down when I start it up before I put it into gear, but if I'm in a hurry and have to put it in drive right away with the idle still high, it jerks and I'm afraid I'm going to break something. If the engine is warm, it starts and idles normally.
I don't know if this is connected or not, but I also have to turn the ignition to ON for 2 secs then to START, otherwise it doesn't start right away. If I go right from OFF to START it cranks longer than usual. Again, it only does this when the engine is cool, totally normal when warm.
I don't know if this is normal for the Duratec, but I had a 1996 Taurus GL with the Vulcan and I never had this problem.
I'd appreciate any advice/opinions.
Thanks in advance!
try cleaning the IAC and throttle body
for the having to wait to start it problem check for fuel pressure after the car sits overnight. Do this by going to the fuel rail removing the cap that looks like a valve stem cap and pushing a small screwdriver into it. if fuel sprays out your good if not then the fuel lines and pump are losing their prime.
My father's '99 Sable Duratec did this, but at 115K miles, lol. First of all I found a couple of vacuum leaks, one was the PCV U bend hose-it was collapsing and had a split in it. Also, the PCV hose where it connects to the oil separator underneath the LIM was shot. I found this while I was replacing the LIM gaskets assuming they were the problem-which they weren't, but performing that task allowed me to find the bad hose on the oil separator. Hopefully this'll help to either find your cause, or at least eliminate a couple of possibilities.
I checked the stem on the fuel rail a few hours after I used the car, and when I pressed on the pin nothing came out. Does this mean I'm going to have to replace the fuel pump?
As far as the IAC and throttle body, I've been told that you cannot clean the IAC, instead it must be replaced? I'm going to ask my parts guy tomorrow.
I also checked that hose on the PCV, and mine looks worn, I think I could feel a crack when I stuck my hand in there, so maybe I'll replace that too, just to be safe. Do you know if I'll have to get that from Ford, or is that just a generic hose?
I wouldn't condemn the fuel pump based off of your check. I wouldn't be surprised if the pressure bleeds off after sitting a couple of hours. Afterall, the fuel pump will reprime the system after only a few seconds of having the key off.
I'm not familiar with the PCV hose on the Duratech. If it's not an elbow or something that needs to be a formed hose so you opt for generic hose, you'll need to get hose intended for use with the PCV system so that it will not be deteriorated by oil and crankcase fumes and can also handle the pressure/vacuum.
when was the last time you had your fuel filter replaced (if ever)?
take your car for a drive then park it and turn it off look under it for any gas leaks anywhere under the car it is possible that a line is leaking or a connection is leaking.
having less than 100,000 miles i highly doubt your fuel pump is bad.
if you havent replaced your fuel filter within the last like 30,000 miles you should. its not very hard and can be done with the rear end of your car on ramps and the only tool you need is a screwdriver or a socket that will work on the clamp holding the filter.
also if possible get a pressure gauge and check the pressure to your fuel rail. should be around 45psi i believe.
Sorry I haven't posted, I keep forgetting I have this post...
Anyway, I replaced the fuel filter on Saturday, and the car seems to cold start much better than before, as in I can turn the key right away and it starts right up.
As far as the high idle, it hasn't stuck at 2300 rpm for awhile, but it only does it so often... If it comes down to the IAC, do I have to replace it or is there some way to clean it? I've heard it's a $90 part.
You can try cleaning the IAC, but since you experience a high idle, it would seem the IAC is letting too much air through rather than not enough, as would be expected due to a restriction from carbon. You wouldn't really be out much to try to clean it and the passages though. I've had good luck with STP Throttle Body Cleaner, it seems to cut through the carbon better than most.

Elk Recipes??
- janetofreno Dec 1, 2006 05:06 PM
My husband just got back from a business trip to the outback of California (extreme Northeastern part of the state) and his favorite customer there gifted him with some Elk steaks. (This is the same lady who gives him jars of her wonderful homemade plum jam every time and keeps offering to have me stay with her a week or two and "learn how to can -- every woman should know how to can!"). I am sure that it is very lean meat, and probably won't take well to grilling. I don't hunt, and am totally unfamiliar with cooking game. So anyone have any suggestions on how to cook it? I'm sure the next time he has a hankering for plum jam and heads up that way she's going to ask him how were the steaks.....
I have grilled steaks from: elk, moose, and deer with great results. I use a blend of spices in a dry rub for ~4-6 hours, then coat with olive oil and grill over direct heat, cook between rare and med rare, let rest, slice thinly. I often serve with a sauce made with onions, mushrooms, butter, Knor's Au Jus mix.
"Steak" is often a ubiquitous term, what cut did you get ?
My favorite "steak" from wild game is the tenderloin.
I'm not sure what cut; I'll have to ask DH if he knows. It looks pretty thin sliced though....
I have made chicken fried steak out of venison round steaks. Something to think about if you are concerned about drying out the steak.
My recipe is from Merle Ellis (a media chef/butcher). Use saltines, crushed. Place the steak (cut into smaller pieces if necessary) on a cutting board, sprinkle crushed saltines over and using the edge of a dinner plate, pound the saltines into both sides of the meat, adding saltines until the meat will not absorb any more. Fry in ~1/2" of fat, remove, drain pan, add some butter to the pan, add some flour to make a roux. Add some cream, cook cream, add chicken stock to make a cream gravy.
Moose is my favorite, next is elk, then venison, then antelope. Antelope ends up in chili.
re: HaagenDazs
have you got any good elk sausage recipes?
Elk is fantastic grilled, as mentioned, and also lovely braised or otherwise cooked slow and wet. Treat it as you would a prime rib, and you'll be richly rewarded. And if you're feeling super-adventurous, elk sausage is TO DIE FOR!
Here's how we prepare Elk/Bison Garlic Steak on the BBQ.
Remove the steak from the refrigerator one hour before grilling time. Pat the steak dry. Massage both sides of the steak with minced fresh garlic. Leave the garlic on the steak. Just before grilling, pat some dry mustard on both sides of steak. Then lightly oil both sides of the steak with olive oil and sprinkle with some sea salt.
For best results, lean and tender elk/bison steaks should first be seared over high heat for about a minute on each side. Then to avoid over cooking, the steak should be finished over medium heat with the barbecue cover closed. For a 3/4 inch thick steak, usually only another 3 to 4 minutes of cooking per side is all that's required for a rare steak. Medium rare will only take a minute or so longer.
For rare, when prodded with barbecue tongs or an inquiring finger, the steak should be just firm to the touch. A medium-rare steak will be slightly firmer.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My children have attended this school since we moved here in 2009. The staff has an exceptional way of ensuring that the parents stay involved. Even though it is a larger school. The principal ensures that she knows all of her students names and helps to ensure the quality of their education. The only downfall is the pta. As others have stated, unless you are the cool mom, or have money they want nothing to do with you. Which is a huge throw off to many parents who want to be involved. Other than the pta, this school is amazing.
The teachers are awesome and do their best with what they have. My child has had some fantastic teachers while attending HRES. It's a shame that parents are not kept in the loop unless it's with fundraising. A good chunk of the PTA is scandalous, snotty, and cliquey. If you aren't fortunate enough to be in the "cool mom" clique or have money, you are often looked at like you have a disease or just an inconvenience. I have so many new ideas to spruce things up but unfortunately I'm not cool enough to matter to them. Really sad because they preach anti bullying yet they bully other parents and make them feel inferior.
It's the school that my kids go to and the teachers and staff really work with to make sure that your child is getting the help that they need
My child was transferred to HR last year from Chancellor Elem. Chancellor was great, small, close-knit. HR has 2X the students and its hard to get to know the teachers & staff. I think the teachers/staff are doing their best, but the school should have a better website, more centralized and updated (current) activity calendar, and be more in the news/media. Many other county schools promote their activities in the local paper, but HR seems to struggle just to get the Honor Roll students listed. I also feel like if you're not a stay at home mom, and you don't volunteer in the classroom, or drop in, your questions and requests are not taken nearly as seriously as those who are there every day.
I'm afraid that our experience has not been the greatest. I too have found that parent evolvement is NOT encouraged. My daughter and son have both attended HRE for 3 years. My daughter has had an ok experience but my son has not been as lucky. The facilities are new and in very good shape but I have concerns about the staff and leadership. I do have to say that one bright spot in all of this has been a Kindergarten teacher named Mr Spears. You couldn't ask for anything better from him! Thank your lucky stars if you are able to get your child in his class.
Harrison Road has a saying 'Children First'. I love having my child go to this school. The staff is very friendly and they truly care about the well being of my child. When my child was having problems in reading they made sure that she received the services that she needed. I am unable to be involved as much as I would like but when I am involved the staff welcomes me. I have never felt as though they did not want me there. Harrison Road displays a positive attitude from the administration down to the support staff. They truly put Children First.
Harrison Road is a wonderful school. My daughter has been at Harrison Road since 2001 and has had great teachers each year. Our Principal and Assistant Principal are great and very involved. We have great activities for the kids. I have greatly enjoyed my daughters experience at Harrison Road.
Harrison Road School is not parent friendly. They do not encourage parent envolvement and prefer parents aren't invovled. What a shame! Additionally, the school buses take forever to bring the kids, home generally 20 minutes late.
quality of academics, I have a child who has struggled in school all his academic career. We moved to Spotsy in 04 and as a 5th grader he was on honor roll the entire year as a matter of fact between grade 3 and 5 about 97% of kids attending the school made honor roll the entire year. After seeing this I have very little faith in the teachers there and the education they seem to be overlooking and not teaching our children.

There are fundamental differences between mountains and skyscrapers.
You can drive up a mountain road with your little sister in the carseat next to you, and The Little Mermaid on tape blaring out of the stereo, and your mother screaming at your father from the passengers' seat, I swear to God David, just ask for the fucking directions. You can stand on top of a mountain with a pretty boy, and you can tell lies to one another while the moon paints his face a blinding white. You can climb a mountain in the dark after four shots of raspberry Smirnoff (don't worry, you can use your cell phone as a flashlight). You can sit on the edge of a mountain, dangling your feet over a man-made reservoir, and you can whisper secrets to the sky—you can rest assured that only the stars will hear them. And even from an endless stretch of highway, or an open, empty field, or the window of a yellow-painted bedroom, you can see the tip of a mountain, majestic and familiar.
It's difficult to locate the top of a skyscraper. You squint into the sun, but at around fifty feet it all begins to blur, and the top simply becomes "up." You ask yourself: when I'm at the top, will I recognize it? All I know are these wonderfully dirty sidewalks and these icy elevator conversations and the bass pounding through my veins. All I know is this little black dress. It's a whirlwind, where you have skyscrapers— a whirlwind of yellow taxis and high heels and congested air and electricity. Occasionally, a skyscraper will overwhelm you. You'll find yourself surrounded by strangers and hopelessly alone, without a clue what floor you're on, or how to get up or down, so you'll wish, quite briefly, for a stretch of highway, or an open, empty field. But then you'll look out a window and see all the rooftops, and the tiny people in their tiny cars, and you'll realize that you're farther up than you've ever been. You'll let out a surprised, yet triumphant laugh. Where you have skyscrapers, you have a hiccup of clarity, because you don't miss those mountains, anyway. You're taller here.
You can't compare mountains and skyscrapers, really. They're two separate states, Colorado and New York—two separate and particular states of existence.

Ping G15 tour issue 7.5 degree driver Rare x-stiff
This was a custom order from Ping and is not offered through Ping retail. This was ordered with the Serrano X-stiff 60g with 1" added length over the standard 45.75" I also ordered a I15 driver with the same custom specs and picked them both up today(7-20-10) I hit both in seperate sessions with a vector pro launch monitor and then took both out to the range. I have decided to keep the I-15 driver only because it matches the rest of my I15 irons. the G15 averaged 4 more yards in my session, but it wasn't a huge difference. My session ended with the following specs on this exact club. swing speed average was 112mph. carry average was 301 Total distance average was 312. Backspin was 2897rpm average. Launch was 12.9 average. Longest hit was 328 carry 338 total yards with 113 mph swing. Score average for swing was 91. I had a couple of mis-hits, and they were still 280. This club hits far and keeps the ball down for those of us that hit too high. You won't regret this club. I have listed this club as used because there was new sand down at the range and it put some superficial scuff marks on the club which you can see in the pictures. This hasn't played an actual round of golf yet. I guarantee this is authentic Ping and you can see the Serial in the pics and verify info with Ping if you wish.
