Allergy Testing: When It's Necessary, What It Involves
By Alicia PurdyOne of the worst things about allergic reactions is how quickly they can crop up. One day everything is fine and the next day, your child is covered in spots or rashes or can't stop sneezing, coughing, wheezing or itching. You're left trying to figure out what went wrong. Was it something she ate? Did he touch or play with something bad? » Read more
Allergies and What You Eat While Breastfeeding
By Alicia PurdyWhether because of misunderstandings, cultural differences or even old wives tales, your breastfeeding diet may feel like a long list of "don'ts." A lot of what you should and should not eat will depend on how your baby reacts during or after feedings. The foods you eat do affect the texture, makeup, consistency, quality, taste, and even the smell of your breast milk. » Read more

Our condo association property manager maintains that there are no assigned parking spaces in our community, which has led to parking anarchy. Some residents have requested signage that reserves their parking space (they do not say "handicapped", only "reserved.") The plat for my condo (downloaded from the county recorder of deeds) indicates by number that my condo has a specific parking space. Does this mean that space is deeded to me, or is it just an assigned common element for my exclusive use? Can it be taken away? Can I use it exclusively and prevent others from parking there? Since vehicle size has changed since 1985 when units were built, can the association redraw the parking spaces to make them bigger to accommodate the influx of extended cab trucks and large vans used as family vehicles?
Sorry for all the questions but this apparently is a thorny issue.

Our condo association had a construction company put in speed bumps on the road coming into our complex during the second week of September. We made arrangements during the construction period to stay in our second home in another city 105 miles from the condo. We left our 2001 Volvo S80 in the garage at the condo complex, and drove our Cadillac to our other home. When we returned to the condo, all the speed bumps had been put in and the blacktop had been seal coated. The speed bumps appeared to be very high, and were painted a bright yellow. Our Cadillac was able to barely cross the speed bumps without scraping. The following day we used our Volvo to leave through another condo complex exit gate so we didn't have to cross the speed bumps. We went to pick up our 9 and 4 year old granddaughters and return to our condo unit. Upon returning we had to come through our complex entry gate, because we don't have a number to come through the neighboring gate. We had to cross three new speed bumps that caused $1,400 in damage to our Volvo.
We notified the condo association management company right away and were told to send estimates and pictures, which we did. We also notified our insurance company who sent out an inspector to evaluate the damage. On the following Monday, the condo association had the same construction company remove the 4 to 5 inch speed bumps and replace them with 3 inch speed bumps. We filed a claim with our insurance company, and they have paid the claim minus our deductible. On Monday we went to the HOA board of directors meeting where we were told they are not liable for any damage, and would not let us talk because they were taking up board business and we can only observe and have no input. They passed a motion to not pay for any damage to our vehicle and quickly moved on to other business. The people who ordered the construction company to put in the speed bumps are the HOA president and treasurer, both elderly women who are unqualified and inexperienced to tell the road workers how to do their job. So they called the property manager and had him call the construction company and order them to make the speed bumps 5 inches high.
We were able to talk to the workers when they were removing the original speed bumps and replacing them with 3 inch bumps. They also told us that they had warned the HOA directors that they were asking for problems and they were called to come back and replace the speed bumps due to all the complaints. At this point our Volvo is in the body shop after the mechanic shop put in replacement motor mounts that broke going over the original speed bumps. Now we hear from the body shop that more damage has been uncovered. We talked to the insurance inspector, and he says he will make sure the car is repaired. Why doesn't the condo association have to pay for the damage since they had the speed bumps put in at a height they were advised not to?

Can a condo association in California tow your car for not having a parking permit? The condo association's rules and regulations do not mention that a parking permit is required. It also states that open spaces are for guest only. A sign at the entrance of my street states public parking is prohibited. If I am a tenant, would I be considered "Public"? The towing company that towed me is also not listed under towing information. Please advise.

I live in a condo unit with a single car garage. I have MS disease and cannot walk, so I use a power wheelchair. I have a handicapped-accessible van with a side entry that comes down so I can enter and exit the vehicle. My garage, however, is not big enough for the van.
A new condo association called Condo Care took over last year. They sent a notice to me stating that, if I don't park my van in the garage, I will be fined 50 dollars for every time my van is outside. The problem is, if I park in the garage I am stuck in the van. I do not park in front of the garage door, I use the parking space next to my sidewalk that has a wheelchair ramp leading to my condo unit entrance. They have not responded since I've explained my condition to them. Can you help me please?

I bought a 32 unit non-stock apartment cooperative condo 4 years ago. For 4 years now, I have been parking in a parking space the previous owner gave to me. Now I want to sell my condo unit and the previous owner called my realtor and said he is just "leasing" the parking space to me. I was in shock of course because we never had a lease agreement or spoke about me leasing/borrowing/renting a parking space. I never would have bought it had I known it didn't come with parking. The parking space is on the previous owners deed and not mine. The previous owner never told me it needed to be deeded over and he was still the owner.
I think this would fall under fraud or non-disclosure, correct? Also, there are only 28 parking spaces and 32 units so there are not enough spaces for everyone. Why would a developer make units with no parking? Does the HOA have to provide each unit with a parking space? I hear that is a California law now. Can the HOA be forced to create new spaces for unit owners with no parking? Thanks

Board of Directors in a New York Condominium are proposing a parking rule. That if an Unit Owner is in arrears with their common charges. The Board will revoke their parking spaces. Unless the Unit Owner makes a agreement plan. If not their cars will be towed and or booted. And no one is to use the parking spaces. 1) In our NYC Department of Buildings Certificate of Occupancy, notes that one off-street parking space is required for each dwelling unit. 2) Property valuation (tax assessments)in our Condominium New YORK(NYC)Also states that, one off-street parking space is required for each dwelling unit. 3)In our by-laws it stated the Board of Managers will have the right to reallocate parking spaces among sold units with the consent of the affected Unit Owners. 4)Another section of the Offering Plan states that that although the parking spaces are limited common elements the unit owner having exclusive use thereof. But, it is Board of Managers responsibility of maintaining and repairing the parking spaces, and the cost thereof will be included in the common charges payable to all unit owners. With the above mentioned 1 through 4. Does the Board of Managers have the authotity to adopt and enforce such a parking rule. The main question is it legal or illegal in the the State of New York..

Producer & Drake associate Boi-1da has clarified a recent remark he made on Twitter, singling out Kanye West out for making a career out of sampling other artists' music.
According to Boi-1da, his tweet was misunderstood by the public.
"The tweet was just speaking about the irony of Kanye West yelling at 40 for stealing his sound. People took it the wrong way, and thought I sent a shot. But I'm saying Kanye made a career off of sampling soul records. If somebody takes a sound that you started and runs […] and does their own thing with it, you should be flattered about that instead of being discouraged… He's a legend in the game, one if the best ever. People think I took a shot at him. I dont think that's a shot at all. I have the most respect for him." (Miss Info TV)
Earlier this month, Boi-1da tweeted his thoughts on Yeezy's utilization of music sampling.
"Lol @ Kanye West talking bout stealing swag, when hes made a career of sampling records SMDH #TheAudacity," Boi tweeted Friday (October 8).
"i mean dudes one of the greatest ever, but … smh"
"@ChristianoHo no beef, just speaking my mind" (Boi-1da's Twitter)
Boi is reportedly alluding to Yeezy's rhymes from the new "Deuces" remix which also features Drake, Andre 3000, T.I. and Fabolous.
I don't know exactly what Boi-1da is referring to but here are Kanye's lyrics on the 'Decues' remix. Anybody else know another story? "Girl seducers, they come in Deuces/when I cut 'em off they always become a nuisance/n***as take my old flows and they take my old swag/he just took my old b**ch and turn it to his new b**ch/hehe, I'm stupid." (Hip Hop N More)
As of late, West has been kept busy working on his upcoming new album.
Kanye West has given fans some extended (and sometimes unsettling) glimpses inside his psyche lately, from his decadent Dalí-esque video for "Power" to the pristine troupe of ballet dancers who surrounded him during his recent performances on "Saturday Night Live." So it's only fitting that the title of his next album should reflect the summation of his alternately playful and twisted soul: the record will be called "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," Mr. West wrote Tuesday morning on his Twitter account. Mr. West said the first song on the album would be "Dark Fantasy," a track produced by RZA and co-produced by No I.D. and Mr. West, and the next single to be released would be a song called "All of the Lights." (New York Times)
Check out Boi-1da's interview below:

- Such a disappointment.OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/15/2014This was my third time here and was a complete disappointment. I will not be returning.
- Waited too long for drinksADalDined on 11/15/2014I say I would recommend b/c I would like to think it was an off night. The drinks were good and the place is very cool. However, we were sat and then greeted by a hostess. After that we waited 25 minutes until she came back over to say the bartenders were busy so whe would take our order (this is a place with no drink menu so the whole MO here is the bartenders finding out what you like so they can created a drink). Once she took the order is was about 20-25 minutes more before a bartender finally came over with the drinks, said he was sorry and comped them. They said they were really busy but there were only about 10 people in the entire place...I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great idea, Poor ExecutionOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/15/2014The concept of the bar is great. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. Our first drink was great, our group was ready for a second, but had nobody service our table for over 45 min. We then asked for the tab - and got nothing after asking three times. We had to just leave money on the table and leave. It was really pathetic the lack of interest the staff had. There were only about 4 other groups of people in the bar at the same time and still couldn't accommodate us. I would NOT recommend trying this place out.
- Stood up for the second timetks99VIPDined on 10/29/2014This is the second time in the last few weeks that I walked up to Smyth and pushed the call button to get in but was completely ignored, left to stand outside, and could not get in. Do not make plans to go to Smyth -- they won't let you in!
- Incredibly DisappointingABCDEFGDined on 10/25/2014My wife and I have been to Smyth a few times in the past before the bartenders and ownership changed. Back then it was an experience going to Smyth and having a drink. You always felt well taken care of, and the drinks were top notch. Fast forward to the present..... I'm shocked at how much this place has changed. The first thing I noticed was the mountain of used glasses stacked on the bar that looked to have been sitting there for quite some time. Think frat bar Not speakeasy. The bartender was a nice guy and did the typical mixology thing which took about 15 minutes per drink. The drinks, unfortunately, couldn't have been more different than what we asked for. Mine tasted like gin mixed with lemon juice. This place won't last.
- "Speakeasy"CarterDined on 10/24/2014Was looking for a speakeasy for an end to a romantic date. The drinks were wonderful. The first drink they made for me was not up to my taste likes. They noticed and corrected it immediately. Next drink came quick and was great. Her drink was exactly something she likes. I loved the anonymity of the location, with no name on the door, or address. It felt real exclusive walking thru the hall and being met by someone ready to seat us. It was VERY LOUD. The music was so loud we could not hear each other talk. Chairs were big and separated by a table. Ended up moving the table out of the way and the chairs side by side. It takes a long time to get drinks. We didn't order a second because of how long it took to even order a secondSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding craft drinks!SFTSDined on 10/16/2014Incredible staff with true craft drink talents. Unique atmosphere creates a rememberable experience. We've gone back several times and will continue. The only watch out is it can take too long to receive your drinks sometimes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Intimate and quietTexasGirlDined on 10/11/2014As always, the drinks at Smyth were fantastic, their crew does a wonderful job of listening to the patrons and providing new, interesting drinks they can't get anywhere else. We had dinner before, and ended up not leaving on time, and when I called to push the reservation back, the team was very obliging. We arrived on time for the second reservation and were seated quickly and served water, but the first order of drinks wasn't ordered until 45 minutes in. I believe there was a big group in the other room, and only two people manning the bar for that time, and I don't know if they're sharing people with the restaurant next door or something, but they should just be very cognizant of the wait time between arriving and first drink orders.Special Features:
- Not as good as beforefoodiefunDined on 9/27/2014I've been here before and had a fabulous time! However, this time around we were stuffed in the back corner of some sitting room (The main room had like 7 empty tables!) and actually ignored until we waived down someone else's waiter for our check. One person had asked for a simple gin and tonic and got the fruitiest, weirdest drink of all time. While the ambiance was nice, it was just not up to par with how they usually are.Special Features:
- OverratedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014Smyth is located inside the Establishment (EST). While the atmosphere is a little different inside Smyth, you can get better service for the same experience by staying in the Establishment. The service was pretty mediocre and we were left feeling like we were an inconvenience to the bartenders, despite us being one of only a few tables on a Saturday night.
- Great cocktails!oldandwiseDined on 9/20/2014I love the concept of having a mixologist preparing delicious drinks based on your preferences. Great service, very private and romantic setup. I definitely will go again. Let me clarify that this website forces me to rate food and this is a bar only. I gave one star just to be able to complete the review.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place but Slow ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/5/2014The place is great and a lot of fun, but the service was really slow. It took them a while for them to get our checks. They might have been short staffed, but it was a Friday night. It was a fun place with custom drinks and the bartenders doing their thing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What are these guys smoking???Zreview4UDined on 8/30/2014We went to Smyth with high hopes of a sexy speakeasy ending to our evening... sounded like a cool concept ... we left feeling thirsty and violated ....meaning that they couldn't serve us what we wanted ... they thought they knew our palate better than us! They will not serve you your drink of choice. ... they want to spin it to a hand crafter 30 minute ordeal of something they think your would like. If you like your favorite drink... stay away!Special Features:
- Good concept, poor executionTy2dineVIPDined on 8/23/2014The place is setup like a revamped basement with no windows. The drinks are supposed to be custom based on a series of questions, but they don't listen to the answer. For example, I said I do not like gin... I can do any liquor but gin... They still put gin in my drink. When I said I don't like it, I received attitude to correct the drink. Also, for the price of the drink I would expect top grade alcohol. They use low grade alcohol.
- Speak easy style bar next to ESTOD3SoMoVIPDined on 8/23/2014Great place to meet before or after dinner!Rezervations are a must. Bespoke cocktails/drinks crafted without menu after a short discussion of what you enjoy/ are in the mood for. Fun conceptSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- High expectations not metSirSDined on 8/15/2014I was really excited for this place and the overall concept is very cool, but our initial drink was done incorrectly (they made a spicy drink when I answered "no spicy" in my interview) and after that they just seemed to have a bad attitude. Almost seemed offended that I didn't like their creation! For a place that projects such a high level of service I would have expected them to be much more accommodating.Special Features:
- Favorite bar in DallasDFWFoodieDined on 8/15/2014This place is so great! Amazing drinks, amazing vibe, low key, quiet...you feel like you are in another time. This place is by far my favorite bar in Dallas.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Smyth experienceJessVDined on 8/8/2014Great atmosphere with even better customized drinks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Didn't get inRealtalkDined on 8/7/2014We were a little late. They told us to go next door to the establishment and they would come get us within 30 minutes. After an hour, they never showed up so we left. This is ridiculous, especially for a Tuesday with a reservation.Special Features:
- The following 93 reviews are from the Smyth reviews archive.
- UnderwhelmedCricciDined on 7/25/2014The 'interview' process to find out what you like was not conducted well...they didn't ask enough questions to find out what you like. I didn't like my first drink, but it took over an hour for the waiter to check and see how the drinks were. They comped the drink, but I was very surprised they waited over an hour to come by. We were sat in the most awkward area- felt like we were in a waiting room. My husband and I each had three drinks; they were all average. The description of the drinks made them sound amazing and they do put a lot of ingredients and flavors into the drinks, but it didn't translate.
- Best cocktails ever!DoniusHCranberryDined on 7/18/2014Robert made amazing cocktails. The staff was very knowledgable and friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- COOL Secret SpotJenNBrettDined on 7/11/2014This place is pretty COOL because there is no signage or advertisement. It is a genuine speakeasy. You do not order a specific drink rather you answer a series of questions that the bartender makes a custom drink for you based on. The only downside is that they are expensive. $14 for a small mixed drink!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday night drinksZboikoDined on 6/14/2014Made reservations for a saturday night. Get there on time because they will cancel your reservation if you are late at all. The entire staff was extremely friendly, and the bartenders are amazing!!! They will ask you the elements of a drink that you want, and then create a masterpiece for you. Since drinks are individually created there will be somewhat of a wait to get your order, but its more than worth the wait. If you haven't been yet, it is a must go!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great drinksexplorerDined on 5/17/2014It is a bit hard to find if you haven't been there before, but it lends an air of exclusivity. We had no problem getting a seating time though, and there was no obnoxious door man to deal with. We promptly attended to and asked by our waiter what flavors we like. They made a terrific scotch drink for the wife and a great vodka/soda for myself. It is a small place, but very enjoyable. We had a great time. I only gave the food rating 3 stars because we didn't order any, and honestly I don't know if they have food on the menu, we were there for drinks. But I imagine if we did order something, it would be good, at the very least.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow and average at bestRudySTLVIPDined on 5/16/2014Nothing that special about the mixologist preparations - takes way too long for drinks and costs aren't transparent. Very poor service. If you have loads of time and are going for the atmosphere this place is ok, but otherwise save your time and money to enjoy drinks somewhere else.Special Features:
- JoJoVIPDined on 5/16/2014They do not serve food. I could not rate without including a food ratingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not my favoriteEthansmuDined on 5/2/2014The concept of this place is great. The drinks are surprisingly not anything special, they usually end up way too sweet or have some strange flavor. This was my second time there and it took FOREVER to get drinks both times. It wasn't just because they have to make each drink individually, the service was just slow. Both times the staff has been rude at some point which makes me dislike the place more. I won't be going back anytime soon.Special Features:
- SpeakeasydbloDined on 4/26/2014Secret Speakeasy! Bar with 1960's atmosphere -- no food. Also, no menu; ask you questions and make you a custom drink. Drinks run around $14 each.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow and Snobby ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 4/25/2014Upon arrival we were greeted fairly but the hostess' attitude was one of disdain, Unrightfully so. We were dressed well and had made reservations in advance. Once seated, we waited 15 minutes before approached by a bartender who we had to flag down. She asked for our 'flavors' but did not put much creativity into the drinks, that were average at best. The bar's exclusivity is it's mystique. They capitalize and succeed on having created a 'speakeasy', yet the service is snobby and slow. Very dissapointing. I had high hopes for Smyth and they were sadly not met.Special Features:
- could easily be my fav barNo32Dined on 4/23/2014this place could easily be my fav bar but without any class and quality drinks its not more than a pretentious bar. drinks were mediocre and below ...
- Smyths Bar was greatOpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 4/4/2014I was recommended by a friend to go online through Facebook and book a table at the Smyths Bar. It was a true gem in the back of a restaurant. Very good cocktail and excellent service. More people you definitively go here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great small plates, Oysters, DrinkspowerfilmVIPDined on 3/29/2014In soft opening phase. 12 small plates that each succeeded. Seafood, meats, cheeses, all for ten bucks a piece. Imported oysters for 2 bucks each. Good selection of wines by the glass, cocktails, drinks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great overallJulieDined on 3/21/2014We loved the place! What a wonderful change from your normal go to bar. The concept was executed very well. They were even able to accommodate a larger party of 6. Will definitely be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ruined since the old team leftfiiveDined on 3/8/2014I used to love this place when it first opened. Since ~Nov 2013, all the award winning mixologists are gone, the service is gone and the new owners are trying to milk the place for everything, rushing people through, the bar is a mess and the drinks are terrible. The service is awful.
- Great place to get speakeasy drinksChrisWDined on 3/7/2014Good atmosphere, hidden well. Bartenders are knowledgable and make great drinks. Small room but I like that about the place. Don't serve food only a bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bar Smyth exceed all of expectationSarahNL11Dined on 2/15/2014Bar Smyth exceed all of expectations for a speakeasy bar experience. The location and atmosphere set the mood from the get go and you can't help but go back in time. The bar is very nice and has a great set up. We were seated in comfortable chairs in the lounge area with a great view of the bar and the other patrons. The service was impeccable and was exactly the kind of cocktail "adventure" I had hoped for. Loved that were no menus and the bartenders concocted one of a kind drinks to fit your tastes. This really got my out of my comfort zone and I tried some fantastic drinks. I will definitely come again! Highly Recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Drinks, great serviceScottDined on 2/14/2014Roger, our personal bartender, not only treated us with kindness and respect but prepared the best cocktails we have ever had. He proves that creating drinks is an art. When we asked about his process he even took the time to give us a personal lesson on how to recreate some of his techniques at home. Great experience thanks to him.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No CCJTJTDined on 2/13/2014When me and my date showed up, we were told the credit card machines had been down all day and that they could only accept cash. What chaps me about this is that I had called only an hour before hand to confirm my reservation and there was no mention of this problem. Thanks for the heads up.
- The Purpose of a ReservationThirstyDined on 2/11/2014As they said in a Seinfeld episode, the most important part of a reservation is for the establishment to honor it (or words to that effect). I had an out of town guest and wanted to take him to the speakeasy. Made the reservation on Open Table for a Tuesday night. Showed up and rang the buzzer. Nothing. Called - no answer. Rechecked the reservation - still showed as good. Finally called the sister bar (Social Cedars) and they told me that The Establishment / Bar Smyth was not open on Tuesday. Be good if someone told Open Table. Oh well, I will try again - but I might have a drink first just to keep calm if it all goes bad again.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden GemnitoDined on 1/3/2014This bar is so unique, from making reservations under a secret bar name to the unique entrance. The bar and mixologists kept us guessing. We just told the mixologist what type of liquor and he came back with a magic concotion. He added in a few personal stories, but he was never overbearing or interrupted out convo. Definately coming back! =)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Comments about Bell Star/RS-1/Vortex Full Face Helmet Breath Box:
This breath box installs simply and easily. Fits comfortably and has some adjustability. However some air still escapes from the box and can fog up the visor in colder weather or at a stop. Still an improvement over normal though!

I bought this because my shield would fog up too fast, even with Bell's fog free shields. This does a pretty good job, now only a little fog at red lights.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Simple solution to get your warm exhaled air away from the visor. Similar to a foggy respro, but built into the built. The Bell helmets have air ducts and the breath box snaps into. Nose piece can be adjusted to fit anyone's nose.

So Occupy Wall Street has inspired some action - the creation of the "I'm Getting Arrested" app for Android.
"Alert your lawyer, loved ones, etc ... that you are being arrested with a click. I'm Getting Arrested enables anyone, with one click, to broadcast a custom message to SMS numbers in the event they are arrested," the Android Market description states.
While the Occupy Wall Street movement may need such an app given recent legal woes down at Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan, there really seems to be a use for this one. Maybe bail bondsman can have it installed on potential clients' phones.
Basically the app sends a pre-written text message to a set list of people - so it could be used for other important messages as well.
Jason Van Anden, a Brooklyn-based software developer, decided to build the "I'm Getting Arrested" app after a friend's girlfriend was about to be arrested at OWS. It will be available for the iPhone soon.
The growing protest movement over the past year makes this a timely app and one that could be used globally. Perhaps the guy who was arrested after police posted a security video on YouTube of him dancing through the store as he (allegedly) put a woman's dress under his shirt.

And the ECBuBa isn't subject to any meaningful oversight from any court of law. Central bank "independence," remember? Will you at least concede that this is a stupid doctrine that needs to be killed dead and exorcised with garlic and holy water?
Sure, if Trichet commits embezzlement or rapes his secretary, he might be prosecuted (or maybe not - bankers have done worse and walked away in recent times). That does not mean that the courts can in any meaningful way provide oversight and policy direction to the ECBuBa (nor should they - that should be Parliament's job, through the Commission).

9/7/2010 ShaiderYour blinker is not working because there must be a short in the wire and that is what is causing this. Shorts can often go off and on and that explains your problem.
Many vehicles have the hazard switch as a push-on push-off in the top center of the steering column. This is a good place to spray your WD-40 or similar cleaner as the contacts for this switch are often the problem, and being on the top side gravity will help the cleaner flow into the contact areas. Be careful if you use another product to be certain it doesn't contain alcohol or other solvent that can attack plastic. Such solvents introduced into any plastic switch component can destroy it rather than improve the fuctioning.
robert skinner - 2000 Chevrolet Malibu - Body & Interior - 9/5/2010

dez - 1995 Chevrolet Impala - Body & Interior - 9/4/2010power windows go down and up very slow passenger window in front has fallen down into door
As far as slow power windows it might be partly electric motor(s).
I've purchased a few electric remanufactured power window motors in the past & have found a few of those were a little slow also.
Falling window(s) in your vehicle, you'll have to take the inside door panel off & look to see what caused the window to far. Then repair as needed from there.

poarchman - 2007 Chevrolet Malibu - Body & Interior - 9/4/2010I am using blue painters tape to keep it from making noise. Is there any other products I can use?
8/29/2010 BlazerIf it is just the cowl that is making the noise, You might check for any loose or missing screws, bolts, nuts, etc. in the cowl area.
Also check for any material cracks in stated area.
9/3/2010 poarchmanThe wiper cowl was replaced several months ago. I have already checked it, the screws and bolts are holding it in place. The problem is where the wiper cowl touches the windshield, wind gets between the windshield and cowl.
So you're saying the cowl is hitting the windshield with wind?
You might try some felt: synthetic fabric underneath.
About the only way this can be done is by removing the cowl & installing a thin layer of insulation as felt & or other thin type of material, then reinstall the cowl.
Depending on insulation thickness it may be necessary to install longer screws.
Done properly this will assist in insulating, isolating/preventing any futher contact as you have described, cowl rubbing winshield.

Could this happen to you?
Someone in your company makes an erroneous entry in DNS. After a short time, some customers begin receiving 'Server Not Found' reports when trying to access your site. Email doesn't seem to be going through for some users. Help tickets start trickling in.
As your TechOps team attempts to troubleshoot, the error silently propagates through the Internet. The trickle of isolated tickets turns into a flash flood. Executives begin urgently texting to find out what is happening.
Eventually, someone on your team combs through the DNS file and catches the mistake. Instead of entering ".com" in the middle of the night, John must have fat fingered in ".con." The error is fixed! However, because your DNS is cached it could be a couple of days before service is fully restored for all users.
Customers and executives demand a root cause analysis. "How could this have happened? Why wasn't it caught earlier? What are you doing to prevent this ever happening again?"
No one can deny the importance of DNS in the Internet age. And to help you keep on top of it, LogicMonitor, maker of the popular automated IT performance monitoring platform, has just released its first free tool, the DNS Change Tracker™ as a free hosted tool. In the near term, we plan to release this tool's source code on GitHub so that everyone can make it even better.

[Written by Perry Yang, Technical Operations Engineer at LogicMonitor]
In recent years, Solid-State Drives or SSDs have become a standard part of data center architecture. They handle more simultaneous read/write operations than traditional disks and use a fraction of the power. Of course, as a leading infrastructure, software and server monitoring platform vendor, we are very interested in monitoring our SSDs, not only because we want to make sure we're getting what we paid for, but because we would also like to avoid a disk failure on a production machine at 3:00AM in the morning…and the Shaquille O'Neal sized headache to follow. But how do we know for sure if our SSDs are performing the way we want them to? Being one of the newest members of our technical operations team, it came as no surprise that I was tasked to answer this question. Read more »

If you are like us, you are running some type of linux configuration management tool. The value of centralized configuration and deployment is well known and hard to overstate. Puppet is our tool of choice. It is powerful and works well for us, except when things don't go as planned. Failures of puppet can be innocuous and cosmetic, or they can cause production issues, for example when crucial updates do not get properly propagated.
In the most innocuous cases, the puppet agent craps out (we run puppet agent via cron). As nice as puppet is, we still need to goose it from time to time to get past some sort of network or host resource issue. A more dangerous case is when an administrator temporarily disables puppet runs on a host in order to perform some test or administrative task and then forgets to reenable it. In either case it's easy to see how a host may stop receiving new puppet updates. The danger here is that this may not be noticed until that crucial update doesn't get pushed, production is impacted, and it's the client who notices.
Monitoring is clearly necessary in order to keep on top of this. Rather than just monitoring the status of the puppet server (a necessary, but not sufficient, state), we would like to monitor the success or failure of actual puppet runs on the end nodes themselves. For that purpose, puppet has a built in feature to export status info Read more »

Sample SAT question: xUnit is to Continuous Integration as what is to automated server deployments?
We've been going through lots of growth here at LogicMonitor. Part of growth means firing up new servers to deal with more customers, but we also have been adding a variety of new services: proxies that allow our customers to route around Internet issues that BGP doesn't catch; servers that test performance and reachability of customers sites from various locations, and so on. All of which means spinning up new servers: sometimes lots of times, in QA, staging and development environments.
As old hands in running datacenter operations, we have long adhered to the tenet of not trusting people – including ourselves. People make mistakes, and can't remember things they did to make things work. So all our servers and applications are deployed by automated tools. We happen to use Puppet, but collectively we've worked with cfengine, chef, and even Rightscripts.
So, for us to bring up a new server – no problem. It's scripted, repeatable, takes no time. But how about splitting the functions of what was one server into several? And how do we know that the servers being deployed are set up correctly, if there are changes and updates? Read more »

Our digs here at LogicMonitor are cozy. Being adjacent to sales, I get to hear our sales engineers work with new customers, and it's not uncommon that a new customer gets a rude awakening when they first install LogicMonitor. Immediately, LogicMonitor starts showing warnings and alerts. "Can this be right or is this a monitoring error?!", they ask. Delicately, our engineer will respond, "I don't think that's a monitoring error. It looks like you have a problem there."
This happened recently with a customer who wanted to use LogicMonitor to watch their large VMware installation. We make excellent use of the VMware API which provides a rich set of data sources for monitoring. In this instance, LogicMonitor's default alert settings threw several warnings about an ESX host's datastore. There were multiple warnings regarding write latency problems on the ESX datastore, and drilling down, we found that a singular VM on that datastore was an 'I/O hog' that was grabbing so much disk resource that it was causing disk contention among the other VMs.
Finding the rogue host was easy with LogicMonitor's clear, easy to read graphs. With the disk I\O of the different VMs plotted on the same graph, it was easy to spot the one whose disk operations were significantly higher than the rest.
We've seen this particular problem with VMware enough that our founder, Steve Francis, made this short video on how to quickly identify which VM on an ESX host is hogging resources: (Caveat: You must be able to understand Austrailian)
All our monitoring data sources have default alerting levels set that you can tune to fit your needs, but they're pretty close out of the box as they're the product of a LOT of monitoring experience. This customer didn't have to make any adjustments to our alert levels to find a problem they were unaware of with potential customer-facing impacts. The resolution was easy, they moved the VM to another ESX host with a different datastore, but the detection tool was the key.
If you're wondering about your VMware infrastructure, sign up for a free trial with LogicMonitor today and see what you've been missing.

We got a question internally about why one of our demo servers was slow, and how to use LogicMonitor to help identify the issue. The person asking comes from a VoIP, networking and Windows background, not Linux, so his questions reflect that of the less-experienced sys admin (in this case). I thought it interesting that he documented his thought processes, and I'll intersperse my interpretation of the same data, and some thoughts on why LogicMonitor alerts as it does… Read more »

Denise Dubie wrote a recent piece in CIO magazine about "5 Must-have IT Management Technologies for 2010", in which she identifies one of the must-haves as IT process automation. She quotes Jim Frey, research director at EMA: "On the monitoring side, automation will be able to keep up with the pace of virtual environments and recognize when changes happen in ways a human operator simply could not."
At LogicMonitor we couldn't agree more. It's true that, as the article implies, virtualization and cloud computing make the need for monitoring automation more acute than previously (which is why customers use LogicMonitor to automatically detect new hosts and newly created monitor Amazon EC2 instances – having dynamic system scaling without the ability to automatically monitor the dynamic systems is just asking for undetected service affecting issues.)
However, even in traditional non-virtualized datacenters (and despite the buzz, most datacenters and services are still built on physical machines), there is often so much change going on with systems and applications that non-automated monitoring has virtually no chance of keeping up with the additions and deletions. A typical example of an automated change report of one LogicMonitor customer from last night shows:
And that was just one day's changes. Imagine the staff costs involved with tracking and implementing all these changes, every day, in a manual fashion, that are avoided by the use of automated datacenter monitoring.
And more significantly, imagine the likelihood that one of more of these changes would NOT have made it into monitoring manually – so that when a production service has issues, there is no monitoring to detect it.
Having your customers be the first to know about issues is not a situation anyone wants to be in – and monitoring automation is the only way to avoid that. That's one area that LogicMonitor's datacenter monitoring excels at.

We like monitoring. We like Java. Not to slight other languages – we like Ruby, perl, php, .NET and other platforms, too, and like to monitor them, also.
However, unlike most other languages, Java provides an explicit technology for monitoring applications and system objects. JMX is supported on any platform running the JVM, but like most other monitoring protocols, there are lots of interesting nuances and ways to use it. Which means lots of nuances in how to detect it and monitor it.
We have quiet a few customers that use LogicMonitor for JMX monitoring, of both standard and custom applications, so we've run into quite a few little issues, and solved them.
One example is that the naming convention for JMX objects is loosely defined. Initially, the JMX collector for LogicMonitor assumed that every object would have a "type" key property, as specified in best practices. Of course, this is a rule "more honored in the breach than in the observance", as widespread applications such as WowzaMediaServer and even Tomcat do not adhere to it.
Another example is that JMX supports complex datatypes. We have customers who do not register different Mbeans for all their classes of data, but instead expose Mbeans that return maps of maps. Our collectors and ActiveDiscovery did not initially deal with these datatypes, as we hadn't anticipated their use. But, there are good reasons to use them in a variety of cases, so LogicMonitor should support the wishes of the user – that's one of our tenets, that LogicMonitor enables user's to work the way they want, instead of constraining them to a preconceived idea. So we extended our ActiveDiscovery to iterate through maps, and maps of maps, and composite datatypes.
This enables our customers to instrument their applications in the way they think is most appropriate, while automating the configuration of management and alerting. While we think we've got all the permutations of JMX covered, I'm not taking any bets that a new customer won't come along with a new variant that adds a perfectly logical use case that we do not support. Of course, if that's the case, we'll support it within a month or so – and all our customers – current and future – will be able to immediately reap the benefits. That's just one of the niceties of the hosted SaaS model.

Seahawks far different from 2010 playoff team
RENTON, Wash. (AP)
Pete Carroll was thrilled to be in the postseason but knew it was a mirage.
Two seasons ago, in his first venture back in the NFL from the college game, Carroll guided the Seattle Seahawks into the postseason with the dubious distinction of being the only team in NFL history to win a division title with a losing record. Seattle at least showed itself worthy of the playoffs by upsetting New Orleans, but was quickly dispatched at Chicago in the second round.
He knew the Seahawks needed to be younger, faster, more athletic and deeper. A makeover was needed.
''We're just so much deeper now and we've raised these guys in the program and I just think there's a common feel that we're on the same page,'' Carroll said Monday.
When the Seahawks (11-5) face Washington in Sunday's playoff opener, they'll do so with 33 new faces on the 53-man roster from just two seasons ago. The moves were drastic in some areas and subtle in others.
No matter what the changes were, it's made Seattle a far better and more deserving team for this postseason trip. Carroll said he believes the type of success the Seahawks found in reaching at least 11 wins for just the third time in franchise history should have come sooner.
Ultimately, it was the decision to draft Russell Wilson in the third round that finally made them a legitimate contender.
''I feel like I wish so much that we had got it done last year. We didn't capture it quickly enough. It just didn't come around like we wanted it to. But we'll take it. We'll take it where we are. It's been three terrific years for us in retooling the program and the roster and the staff and getting everything right. We really feel the momentum in the youth and the hopefulness for the future is there.''
When that 2010 playoff appearance came the Seahawks' way, they were a flawed team, fortunate to play in the worst division in football at that time. Carroll's defensive philosophies were still being implemented and the offense was a jumbled mess. There was little continuity on the offensive line. Marshawn Lynch had arrived in a trade from Buffalo but Seattle had yet to figure out the best ways to use its new bruising back. Most importantly, the quarterback position was unsettled with Matt Hasselbeck the entrenched veteran and Charlie Whitehurst the upstart.
They were rarely competitive, losing by an average margin of 21 points in their nine losses. Only one of their seven regular-season wins came against a team that finished with a winning record.
Fast-forward and while still having some flaws, this Seattle team is far more complete. The defense finished the season the No. 1 scoring defense in the NFL, giving up just 15.3 points per game. They were No. 4 in the league overall, the highest year-end ranking for Seattle in team history.
Offensively, the Seahawks have morphed offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell's system around what Wilson does best, using his athleticism and quickness as a threat to complement Lynch's violent running. Lynch's success is largely because of the zone-blocking schemes implemented by assistant head coach Tom Cable and finding linemen who fit what Seattle wants to do.
From the playoff win over New Orleans in 2010 to now, the Seahawks will have 15 different starters on the field against the Redskins.
''We're young and we're fast and we're tough and we've created a physical nature about us that we're really proud of. It goes from offense to defense to special teams,'' Carroll said. ''We're just going to try to keep getting better. We've got a long ways to go.''
Wilson tied Peyton Manning's rookie record with 26 touchdowns on a third-quarter scoring pass in Sunday's win over St. Louis. He had a chance to hold the record himself, but instead ran for a 1-yard TD with 1:39 left to give Seattle a 20-13 win over the Rams.
Wilson finished the season with a 100.0 passer rating, the highest in franchise history. He threw for 3,118 yards, added another 489 rushing, had 30 combined touchdowns running and passing, and became the first rookie QB in NFL history to go 8-0 at home.
''Did Peyton go to the playoffs his first year? No,'' Seattle fullback Michael Robinson said after Sunday's win. ''OK. Then you know who I think is better.''
Notes: Seattle placed CB Walter Thurmond on injured reserve Monday, opening a roster spot for the addition of CB Brandon Browner, who is eligible to return this week after serving a four-game suspension for banned substances. Thurmond started initially in place of Browner, but suffered a hamstring injury before Seattle's Week 15 game at Buffalo and aggravated the injury last week trying to get back for the season finale. ... Carroll said he expects LB Leroy Hill to practice this week and be available. Hill missed Sunday's game with a hamstring injury.

@Stronger: Yea he'd SMASH Rulk and Namor!
@Enosisik: answer me..
Does anybody have any of apocalypse feats? I am not extremely familiar with the character.

I thought Apocalypse's main power was manipulating technology so wouldn't Iron Man and Ultron be at an extreme disadvantage.
@Almighty_Darkseid: their cumulative strength exceeds street level.
Apoc cant beat Thor.
Red Hulk, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and Namor

@Dextersinister: Yes! That is a part of it. Iron Man would be screwed. Now Ultron is almost a stalemate. Very powerful. Ultron is practically indestructable. Apoc maybe able to survive even as small molecule, but Ultron can just strike powerfull blasts that would destroy every molecule of his body. Ultron would probably win if not stalemate Apoc.

1. Apocalypse was capable of withstanding a fully-powered telekinetic blast from Stryfe at the end Messiah War. It did not affect him at all. If Wolverine were in Apocalypse's place, then he probably would have been disintegrated or violently thrown against the wall. Also, Bishop and Stryfe were not able to even kill a weakened Apocalypse.
2. In X-Cutioner's Song, a weakened Apocalypse was able to defeat a team of X-Men in a minute, if I recall correctly.
3. He managed to engage Jean Grey on the astral plane for a particular period of time.
4. In The Twelve, he also managed to easily absorb Cyclops' energy blast, and Cyclops was enraged at the time.
I hope that helps. :)
@Edamame: Thank you!
