Chevrolet Blazer GMC Jimmy Transmission Problems
bhumes Posts: 1My check engine light recently came on and i had it put on machine. It said it was my shift solenoid A in my transmission. Do you know what this is? My blazer seems to shift back and forth on its own and my tac. says about 2000 rpm when usually reads about 1500 when traveling about 50 mph. The mechanic said i need to take it to a transmission person. I got scared..This could be expensive. My question is what is a Solenoid A and is it difficult to fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. :confuse: -
jmccann Posts: 11The transmission in my Blazer was just rebuilt and the vacuum shifter on the front axle was also replaced. The problem I am having happened after a long 2 1/2 mile downhill in 4 wheel drive using high 4 wheel drive and second gear, when I reached the bottom of the downhill and applied power to start going up the hill I was approaching the transmission acted like it was in neutral and wouldn't drive in any gear. I stopped the car and checked the transmission fluid and it was full so I got back in and tried the gears again but still no drive, I was about to lock it up and walk when I pushed the button to get out of 4 wheel drive and the transmission immediately started working again and seemed normal so I shifted into 4 wheel drive again and everything seemed normal. The transmission worked fine getting out of the canyon later that night but did it again while going on a straight road with some moderate hills, after going down one I had to shift out of 4 wheel to get my transmission back.
gkite Posts: 11I have a 96 Jimmy with180,000 miles have always had a bad vibration/shake felt through out vehicle after 65pmh wich comes and goes. Usually just driven in town until recent (driving 160 miles daily on freeway). I have tried changing tires,wheels,several rebalancing,new shocks, new transmision mount. The jimmy has been lowered 2", but did used angeled blocks. Mechanic has told me that I have two bad motor mounts and that could be the problem. They want $400 to replace mounts. Please some one help advise on this matter. Vibration starting to get to me.
gkite Posts: 11This may help you, I had a problem with it not shifting and setting a check engine code. A friend of mine works for chevrolet we ended up replacing the wireharness from the fuse block or the connection block on the firewall, (sorry can not remember exactlly which one) to the transmission. The Dealer will know.This solved my problem. Hope this helps.
my97jimmy Posts: 15Hello gents,
Well...my tranny in my 97 GMC Jimmy finally went after 187,000 miles. It lived a good life. I've already ordered a rebuilt tranny and it's on it's way. My question is, do I need to lift up the engine to get it out? On some past tranny swaps like my Buick, I need to loosen and lift up the engine to drop the tranny. Just wondering if I need to borrow an engine hoist. Thanks for your help, Keith. -
gkite Posts: 11Hello Kieth,
Sorry to hear your tranny finally gave up on you, anyway no you do not need to borrow an engine hoist. You should be able to unbolt and pull back and drop it down. when I changed mine out on my 96 thats all I had to do, although the top bolt on the driver side was a chore. -
my97jimmy Posts: 15Thanks gkite, I figured there would be a bolt or two that would be hard to get at. Engineers design them that way on purpose just to make it interesting. A friend mentioned that there might be a star keyed bolt that would require a special socket. Did you find that to be the case? Thanks, Keith
my97jimmy Posts: 15gkite, I had an 89 jimmy and the vibration was horrible at 60 and above. So bad that I bought my 97 and used the 89 for off-road only. While going mudbogging one day I fell into a rut and busted the right front CV halfshaft. Since I had to replace it I decided to do both. Low and behold, no more vibration problem. Someone told me that their only good for about 150,000 miles anyway and I had 190 on it. I don't know if that's what's causing your vibration problem, but it solved mine. Keith
my97jimmy Posts: 15psycodad and bandgreen, This may sound to simple for you guys, but I had a similar yet maybe the same problem. I could shift manually through the gears and it worked fine, but if I put it in drive it wouldn't shift right. I went to Napa to get some tranny treatment fluid hoping I wouldn't need to replace the tranny. I explained my problem to a mechanic who was standing there waiting for a part. He said, "Oh, sounds like your computer has forgot how to shift the tranny." I said, "Huh!" He said, "Jimmys and Blaisers are known for that. All you have to do is disonnect the battery for 10 minutes to reset the computer. Then reconnect it and take it for a drive" Believe it or not, I didn't have a problem with the tranny for another 2 years. Until third gear went out just last week. Keith
foxracer1 Posts: 9hi my name is brian i have a 2000 gmc jimmy 4wd would u know what kind of Torque Converter, i have or what kind of stall it has theres three kinds low med hard i think mines a low because it use to pick up at 8to1000 rpms but i cant find what size i need and were i can get one i looked at auto zone but they have 2 kinds but couldnt help me it tells me to call some 1800 # and i did and no one ever picks up i was not sure if u could tell me what kind of Torque Converter, i could use thank you for ur help
jaredw Posts: 1I have a 1998 chevy blazer with 130000 miles, a while back (15000 miles ago)I changed my trans pan fluid and filter due to the same problem, and this fixed the problem until now, I was reading the earlier entries, do you think I should replace my converter fluid, will this help the problem, or should I replace the Tcc solenoid.
The problem occurs between 25-35 mph when it shifts into second, it gets all gutless acting like a slip, then when it does shift, it shifts fairly hard, 10 times harder than it used to even under hard acceleration, and if i stay in the 30-45 mph range it acts like it wants to upshift into third creating a lack of power problem cause the rpms are too low.
Does anyone have any Idea what this could possibly be?
Thank you
Jared -
rhtrans Posts: 84Well brian..it depends on the engine size and a few other factors. Typically a full size v-8 trucks will have a lower stall converter, around 14 to 1700. rule of thumb is the smaller the engine the higher the stall. if you have a 6 cyl then the typical stall is from 18 to round 2000...4 cyl are a little higher..2 to 2300. If you put a converter that is only a 100-200 stall difference you probably wounldn't notice much difference. 5- 600..yea you could tell...but it wouldn't be the end of the world.
jlflemmons Posts: 2,240How about this one? Transmission shifts great. Not too harsh, no slippage, shifts up, shifts down, no problem. Engages as soon as shifted into drive or reverse. No weird noises, no warning lights.
But wind it up in first or second gear and around 4500rpm ... Goes complete slip, as in shifted to neutral. Let off the gas, transmission hooks up and all is normal. The one clue I see is the fluid looks like it foamed.
Now, I just bought this car, and it does have a 12/12K warranty that covers the tranny if it is toast. But someone has recently service the fluid, and I am thinking:
1. Wrong fluid. Should be Dexron III, but no way of knowing what is in there.
2. Wrong filter/dirty filter
3. (and I am leaning toward this one) Whoever put the filter in didn't notice the o-ring missing. Under high suction this would really pick up air and foam the fluid.
Opinions are welcome!
Forgot to add, records show regular service, Blazer has 62K miles. -
jlflemmons Posts: 2,240Update -
Dealer checked for codes, nothing there. So, dumped the programming from the PCM and did a fresh upload with all the current updates from GM. Shifting is much crisper, but the engine went into rev limit just as the tranny shifts out of first under WOT. I think I will go ahead and do the fluid and filter change this weekend and go from there. The dealer checked the extended warranty and says if the tranny needs a rebuild, it is covered. Nice to have that safety net! -
jlflemmons Posts: 2,240All is happy with the tranny. Dropped the pan and found only the typical fine residue. The pan had not been off before, and the original filter was still there. One thing I found interesting was I expected to only need five quarts to refill. I know not to over fill, so I checked, rechecked, and checked again with the transmission warmed up and idling in park, and it took an extra 1/2 quart to put the level in the hash marks.
The only thing I could think of was that when I was under it, I had it way up on jack stands and may have gotten some of the fluid from the TC. Whatever, it shifts smooth as butter, with no slipping. -
jlflemmons Posts: 2,240
motoroller Posts: 1Keith, Your message was very useful and timely for me. My 99 Blazer had been experiencing shifting irregularities for several weeks, and today the problem became severe... when starting in 'Drive' position, the car would start out in 3rd or 4th gear, and continued to do so after repeated stops/starts. I assumed the worst, but did a Google search, found your message (first on the list), disconnected the battery, and 15 minutes later the transmission was operating perfectly.
Thanks for the tip

gmc94 Posts: 4Hi i recently purchased a 1994 GMC JImmy and have some Tranny problems with it, when i am excelerating up to highway speeds or trying to pass someone my engine will down shift into a lower gear trying to go faster then it will slip out of gear my father told me the guy i purchased it from had the transmission replaced 2 and rebuilt the 2 replaced tranny should i just buy a new one for 4 grand, get it rebuilt, or see if the previous owner has the warranty?
my97jimmy Posts: 15To bad it didn't work for you. It worked for me for about 2 years but with 180K it's time to replace the tranny. If you are mechanically inclined, you can get a rebuilt tranny (with 3 year warranty) for around $1200 and put it in yourself. That's what I did. If not, I would find a mechanic that will replace the tranny for you. I wouldn't recommend having a tranny shop repair it. Just read all the horror stories here about repaired trannys. Good luck, Keith
psycodad Posts: 5my jimmy has 168000 and sometimes the trans will shift perfectly and others it wont a trans repair shop said that it is an electrical prob. low voltage and i checked that out when it was acting up and i was definately under the 12 volts i was supposed to have i would like to try putting a jumper wire with 12 volts into the trans system and see what happens but i also hate to burn something out

I saved a hanging basket of wax begonias in a very pretty bright watermelon pink color and it has stayed green all winter and appears to be showing new growth now and has a few blooms too!
I would love to make/start more plants from this "mama" plant, but am unsure of the best way to do so. The foliage that I have right now is very short - probably no more than 5" long, so taking a bunch of cuttings would result in VERY short stubs left on the original plant. Should I wait another month or two and see if they grow longer, giving me more stem to work with? Would it be better to unpot it and see if I can break it apart into smaller plants? Suggestions? Thanks!

- Posted by hcmcdole z7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Feb 4, 10 at 10:03
If the stems are soft I would wait (they would probably rot if too soft), else snap or cut some of the stems off and either water root or start them in a sterile media. Wax begonias often come back from the ground but not always - therefore until you see new growth at the bottom it might be good to keep some stems and leaves. You can always divide and put the smaller divisions in an appropriate sized pot. |
- Posted by bettylu_zone6a (My Page) on Fri, Feb 5, 10 at 22:52
Thanks for the suggestions, I think I will wait a bit longer to let the plant get more growth on it. I see no reason I can't do both the cuttings, and later divide the plant itself. I am glad this begonia survived the winter, as I said earlier, I really loved the bright watermelon pink of the blooms! BettyLu |

Clellan Card is best-remembered today by Minnesota baby boomers who watched him on Axel and His Dog, a children's television program that aired on WCCO-TV from 1954 to 1966. However, he was an important figure in Twin Cities broadcasting from the 1930s to the 1960s, and his long career was studded with many notable achievements. At one time or another, Clellan worked on every major radio station of his era in Minneapolis/St. Paul: WCCO, KSTP, WTCN, and WDGY. He participated in one of the first -- possibly the first -- experimental television broadcasts in the Twin Cities in about 1933. In 1938, he hosted the first live program broadcast from WCCO radio's new studios (where the station still remains today). He appeared concurrently on competing radio stations in the Twin Cities during two separate periods, in 1944 (on WCCO & KSTP) and again in 1950 (on WCCO & WTCN), and quite likely was the only major local radio personality ever to do so. In October 1954, he was the star of the first local television colorcast in the Twin Cities, a special broadcast of Axel and His Dog. Clellan Card was arguably the single most popular radio personality in the entire Upper Midwest during the late 1930s. His "Doughnut Dunking Jamborees" (held each April Fools Day) regularly drew crowds of more than 2,000 people to watch a radio broadcast -- at seven o'clock in the morning. His recitation of a Scandihoovian lampoon of "The Night Before Christmas" was a beloved annual tradition from 1938 to 1965. Clellan attained immense local popularity again in the 1950s and 1960s as the children's television character Axel. The ratings for Axel and His Dog were often more than double those of all three competing programs combined. He was chosen "Best Children's Television Personality" many times by the local chapter of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA). The children who grew up watching Axel on television have not forgotten him. Even today, more than 30 years after Clellan's death, many Minnesota baby boomers can recite a "Birdie" (Axel's catch-phrase) at the drop of a hat. |

Hong Kong
Victoria Peak
This 1,800-foot mountain, whose looming peak is visible from almost all of Central district, doubles as the address for Hong Kong's wealthiest residents. The journey to the top of the Peak via cable tram is a blast, although not recommended for acrophobes; you head up the mountainside at what seems an impossibly steep angle. Once you've arrived at the summit and navigated around the requisite tourist crowds, you can stroll around the mountain via a pleasant, tree-lined pathway. Make time for the entire circular trip of about two miles or so, which allows you to peek through the trees at the splendid harbor below.
Insider's Tip: Try to visit in the afternoon before it gets dark, and then stay on into the evening (maybe for dinner at ). By day, the views hold their own against those in Sydney, Rio, and San Francisco—but when the nighttime neon show switches on, the Peak blows its rivals out of the water.

Honored for Extraordinary Efforts and Dedication in Meeting Residents' Needs
SPARTA, WI – JUNE 26, 2012 - - - USDA Rural Development Wisconsin State Director, Stan Gruszynski, announced the selection of Monroe County Housing Authority as recipient of USDA Rural Development's Award of Excellence, recognizing their continued dedication to providing affordable housing to the residents of rural Wisconsin.
"It is our privilege to recognize Monroe County Housing Authority for their contribution to safe, attractive, affordable, housing in Monroe County," said Gruszynski. "As a result of their initiative and investment, they have enabled numerous individuals and families access to a place to call home. All Wisconsinites deserve to have access to safe, decent, affordable housing. Since 1949, USDA housing programs have played a vital role in ensuring that rural residents enjoy the same homeownership opportunities that are available to urban residents."
Since 2009, the Award of Excellence is presented each year during June, in conjunction with National Homeownership Month, to Multi-Family Housing property owners and managers who continuously demonstrate their commitment to providing quality, affordable housing to the tenants they serve.
The Monroe County Housing Authority consists of 76 elderly and disabled designated units located in six communities throughout Monroe County; Sparta, Tomah, Warrens, Cashton, Wilton, and Oakdale.
The property has an impeccable history of providing quality housing at affordable rents to elderly residents. Theresa Burns-Gilbert has been the Executive Director, and manager, of this project for 24 years. She has a genuine commitment and dedication to improving the social and living conditions for the residents of Monroe County, and participates in several community committees that provide essential living assistance. In addition, four of the apartment sites served as a Monroe County Senior Nutrition site.
USDA Rural Development currently provides financing for 450 multi-family housing projects in rural Wisconsin. These facilities provide rural Wisconsinites with access to more than 7,000 apartments.
Apartment complexes play an important role in the sustainability of rural communities. They allow residents to continue to live in their home community, many times close to family and friends, and provide a great opportunity for young adults to build up equity so they can someday become homeowners.
This year, USDA is commemorating the 150th anniversary founding of the "Peoples Department." In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed into law an act of Congress establishing the United States Department of Agriculture. Since then, USDA has helped support the tremendous growth and success of American agriculture, drive economic growth, conserved natural resources and build stronger communities and a stronger nation. As we celebrate 150 years of accomplishments, USDA is looking to the future as we continue to help address the changing needs of agriculture and rural America.
During the past year, USDA Rural Development helped a record number of Wisconsinites receive funding for economic development projects and quality of life improvements. The agency's investment in Wisconsin helped create or retain more than 2,000 jobs; aided 2,900 families in buying their own homes; and assisted more than 200 communities in improving community facilities and upgrading local infrastructure.
USDA Rural Development has invested over $558 million throughout rural Wisconsin last year to improve rural housing, infrastructure, community facilities, businesses and renewable energy. To learn more about Rural Development, visit our website at www.rurdev.usda.gov/wi.

BANGOR, Maine (AP) — More members of Bangor, Maine's drug underworld are expected to testify in the trial of two men accused of killing three people who were later found in a burning car after a drug dispute.
Greenbush resident Katelyn Lugdon testified on Tuesday. The trial continues Wednesday.
Lugdon's sister, 24-year-old Nicolle Lugdon of Eddington, was one of the victims. Another victim, 26-year-old Daniel Borders of Hermon, was Katelyn Lugdon's boyfriend. The other victim was 28-year-old Lucas Tuscano of Bradford. Katelyn Lugdon said Nicholas Sexton — one of the men charged in the murders — demanded to know her sister's drug source prior to the killings.
Thirty-six-year-old Randall Daluz of Brockton, Massachusetts, and the 33-year-old Sexton, of Warwick, Rhode Island, are charged with three counts of murder and one count of arson.

the Black Man-O-logues 2
Check out this Teaser for "the Black Man-O-logues 2″ and let me know what you think.
We're back in Atlanta during Atlanta Football Classic Weekend with the Second Installment.
2 Responses to the Black Man-O-logues 2
This was an excellent show! The experience was AWESOME!
I attended the Black Man-o-louges 2 at the Historic Lincol Theater at 8:00 pm last night 4/2/11. The show was was very thought provoking and provided much food for thought. Not only was it entertaining, but it was empowering as well. However, prior to attending the show I submitted a request to receive 5 tickets and thenreceived an email confirmation, saying that my request was approved and that all I had to do was pick up the tickets from WIll Call from the box office at the Lincoln Theater. When I arrived at the theater it was disappointing to discover that the Lincol Theater would only give us 2 tickets and said that we would have to contact your organization to verify the other tickets. Even when I tried to show them the email confirmation they refused to honor the original number of tickets I originally requested. This was quite unfortunate, becuase from my party of 5 2 of us had to decide which 2 would enjoy the show. At the time I did not have an additional $150 to cover the cost of the other 3 tickets because after having dinner and paying for parking I was not prepared to cover that additional cost for my guests. This was not only an obstacle for me, but many, many people were turned away and disapponinted in this same way. After the show began, the theater was only half full and that didn't need to be. I originally invited 4 of my daughters and only one got to accompany me, but after witnessing all the empty seats that didn't have to be the case. The Lincoln Theater wasn't very cooperative in the matter and kept saying "you have to contact the person that contacted you in the email". Unfortunately, by that time the show was about to begin and I didn't have any contact numbers. To my understanding, the yound man that was selling the t-shirts (according to a woman behind me) was able to assist with securing 3 free tickets for a woman who got him to intervene, but that was after the fact and my party of three had moved on. Even though the show was fantastic, this was not a happy experience for many and it could even taint future opportunities when given a chance to view the production. The email asked us to "spread the word" about the show. I only hope this expereince doesn't smear the "word" of those that were inconvenienced due to a lack of cooperation on the part of the Lincoln Theater. Despite all of that, I'm looking forward into your return to Washington, DC. -arw

Nutclough Mill and Hebden Bridge – Part 1
Calrec, Featured — By Colin on October 24, 2011 09:45One of the nice things we are always told by our customers when they visit us for factory acceptance, is how much they like the astounding beauty of the local area, and the history in the walls of our Nutclough Mill factory.
Famously the first workers co-operative textile mill in England, Nutclough Mill was central to the development of local enterprise, international business and the establishment of a business stronghold in the Calder Valley. Foreign business delegations to nearby Manchester often made the pilgrimage to Hebden to study this innovative business centre.
Here is the first in our series of photo essays narrated by local historian and academic David Fletcher of Pennine Heritage looking at the history of Calrec's Hebden Bridge HQ, Nutclough Mill (pictured).
Part One explains the origins of the mill, when Hebden Bridge was the epicentre of the fustian cloth production industry. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks, including David's explanation of how it was the backdrop to the entire Industrial Revolution!

We're building an addition and the new family room will have access to a small "mud room" where we plan to store our son's outside toys, trike, sports stuff, snow shovels, etc. It will have an exterior door and an interior door into our family room. I was considering using a pocket door to make the most use of the small space in there, but I wasn't sure if it was smart to use a pocket door when going into an unheated room. we're in Pennsylvania, if it matters, so winters are cold and summers are hot! Thanks in advance for your opinion on this! |
Follow-Up Postings:
They don't latch as tightly, don't close against a stop, have a gap (usually not seen b/c top of frame is trimmed out) at the top where they hang from the track, and *may* have a bigger gap at the bottom than a hinged door (definitely true over carpet, if you want a hinged door tight to carpet you can manage to open and close it). So I'd say not a good choice if you are trying to built an "airlock". Then again, the door to my mudroom stays open, I'm considering removing it completely (but mine is heated). |
You can minimze the gaps if you want. While pocket doors do not normally have a 'stop' on the off-side jamb, they can be added (even a pair of them). Actually putting in weather seals is going to show more, but coupled with a stop on the off-side jamb a seal can be placed on the edge-face of the door to seal. The loss of insulation space in the pocket is also going to increase heat loss. A closed pocket door is still going to be better than no door or an always open door. |
- Posted by manhattan42 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 19, 10 at 5:45
Pennsylvania building and energy codes do not permit an uninsulated door in this location between conditioned and unconditioned space. You are required to install an insulated door with a U-factor of at least .35 or less unless you live in the extreme southeast of the state where you can get away with a minimum of U .40. No pocket door will achieve this minimum U-factor even if using an insulated slab. Bottom line: You will need to consider other types of insulated, non-pocket type doors between your conditioned living space and this unheated mudroom. |

Senate Passes Bill to Improve Drought Response
February 28, 2014
The Senate passed a bill Tuesday that reauthorizes a federal program aimed at assessing the effects of and responding to droughts. The measure was passed through a unanimous consent agreement.
Rep. Ralph Hall (Texas) introduced H.R. 2431, the National Integrated Drought Information Systems Reauthorization Act, which reauthorizes the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) through 2018. The House voted 365-21 earlier this month to pass the bill, meaning the legislation now heads to President Obama's desk for his signature before becoming law.
The bill requires the director of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to report to Congress on what it could do to reduce drought-related problems and cost in a timelier manner and create a drought early warning system.

Living in: Cape Town, South Africa
Practical info
The real estate market in Cape Town was less affected by the recession than other areas of South Africa and it remains a sought-after location. Housing stock runs the gamut — from large seaside houses to apartment blocks to family homes with a quarter of an acre garden. A typical, unfurnished two-bed flat rents from 8,000 to 14,000 rand, depending on the neighbourhood. The rental market is strong right now.
When purchasing a property, be sure you are familiar with sectional titles. "There is a healthy market in sectional title units at the moment," said Steward. A sectional title means you purchase a section of a property, but not the common property (ie stairways, halls, corridors). Sectional title owners pay a fee to maintain these and in this way are similar to condos and leaseholds.
The middle of the market, from two to eight million rand, is where the most movement is at the moment. Overall, "the market is showing more sign of activity, but the prices have remained flat over the past three years," said Steward. Take time to consider what suburb you want to live in and contact estate agents in that area. "The most important thing to know about Cape Town is that you are living in the best city in the world," said Henny.

25th Unity Dinner Bigger, Better
September 22, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Adil James, TMO
Detroit–September 18–The CIOM's annual unity dinner happened again for the 25th time, this time in a new venue, the Detroit Institute of Arts. Hundreds of Muslims attended, representing the majority of the Southeast Michigan mosques.
A full program welcomed the visitors, with a screening of "On a Wing and a Prayer," tours of Detroit's art gallery, a children's program, and speeches by many prominent people including the Muslim filmmaker Alex Kronemer, Archbishop Allen A. Vigneron, Dearborn Mayor Jack O'Reilly, and Craig Fahle of WDET. CIOM speakers included Dr. Muzammil Ahmed, Victor Ghalib Begg, and Dr. Abdalmajid Katranji.
Alex Kronemer spoke on the importance of communicating across boundaries of race and religion, and of the importance of being a positive force in the world while negative forces hold so much sway over the human mind.
Archbishop Vigneron spoke eloquently on the importance of cooperation across religious lines on issues where there is mutual agreement, and he emphasized those areas, namely that God is One, that He created the universe, that He created the human race, giving them reason and freedom, that He spoke to His creatures, teaching them, that all men and women will be held to account. He offered powerful arguments to show that despite popular wisdom to the contrary, faith and religion have always been powerful forces behind scientific inquiry.
CIOM Event September 18th
August 4, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By TMO Stringer, based on press release by Ghalib Begg
The Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan (CIOM), is based on a united Muslim community involved in the larger community through service and relationships with our neighbors, interfaith groups, government and media. Civic engagement is a critical component. The CIOM's annual Unity Banquet is being held at the Detroit Institute of Arts on September 18th, as suggested by our young leaders, is much in tune with helping mainstream our community. Institutionalizing the work of CIOM is critical and it needs your help and participation — physical, financial, moral and your prayers.
"Our faith teaches optimism in this life and in the hereafter. We are an ummah content with its surroundings with 'sabr', building a better society wherever we live, in spite of challenges we may face."

Hello all,
I am wanting to try starting a small container garden at my apartment so I am looking for seeds for food-bearing plants that will work for this situation. I happen to have a lot of yarn on hand and would be happy to make anyone a special homemade baby blanket in exchange for whatever they might wish to share. If anyone doesn't have the type of seeds I'm looking but could really use a blanket, other seeds would be ok too since I can probably exchange them for others I want. Please feel free to email if interested. Thanks :) Kris |

Christian Miller is a UT Austin Computer Science graduate student whom you may remember from awesome projects like the UberHoop. Aiming to impress his way into a sweet internship, he made a fancy business card that is a small portable video game system. nbd, just a retro game business card. *totallyabigdealy'all
For just over a century, amateur radio operators or "hams" have been working in basements and attics, taking things apart and putting them together to hear the crackle of a voice coming from the static. Austin's Amateur Radio Society shared the magic ranging from the simplest homebrew, basically the technological Victory garden for modern communications to the advanced digital high-speed multimedia capability (i.e., The Self Configuring HAM Network) in use around Austin.
Damien Di Fede (@ddifede) rocked the socks off of the Fantastic Arcade with The Dancingularity and was willing to show Dorkbot how he did it, including using Processing to write the software, the reason for running it in Linux, and the hardware (ahem, electrical tape) used to create the web of mats. If you missed the magic you can check out the sweet write up in the Kokoromi blog for more details.

Hi Sweetie
I like your blogs and your trials and tribulations. I know it's not easy there but I can also sense your excitement. Have you received any packages so far? Don't know how long it takes.
Summer is here and it's been quiet and peaceful. Am looking forward to the 4th of July.
Wonder if your brother is going to start a log for the summer?!
Love you honey,
Aunt Kathy
Sand, heat and bugs not dipped in Chocolate
Im still in Senegal. And some days its still hits me and I say "wow Im in Africa" this usually happens in the mornings when I wake up sweating because it is just so hot out; You can imagine that this does not lend itself to getting very much sleep and I think I will be getting a fan since I do have electricy and why fight the fact that yes I dint want electricity but now that I have it it would seem weird to my family if I didnt use it. So Im going to get a fan and Im really excited also the whir or the fan will drown out the sound of the crickets in my shower and the scurrying cochroaches the size of small kittens running around my room at night, also the various other creatures of notable size who may happen to be active as well.
So as you can probably tell its really hot and then when its compounded by the fact that we have sand storms! Oh my my� So picture this I'm sleeping outside witht he family where its cool and the stars are usually out, then we are all rudely awakened to blowing winds and with it dancing sand that gets in our faces, mouths and eyes. We all dash inside to our hot sauna-like rooms. I know I will not sleep, so I barr all the windows so the sand cant come in in full force and I strip down completely and take multipul bucket baths to help cool off. I pull out some modern technology an MP3 player and I relish the music the blowing winds like hurricane and the coolness of not drying myself off and using the hand held fan to bring a breeze. Also I'm texting my other friends in the area and we're joking about how nice the wheather is as if we might all meet up the club and tee up. It actually was a rather amussing night and in the morning we were all covered in sand and the day was speant sweeping ALL DAY LONG.
Ok soo Wolof speaking how is it going? Crazy how the days vary from awesome wolof talking and joking to my mind is completely dead tired and I cant even talk to myself in English. Its a rocking rollarcoaster this learning a new language shot gun style and I'll be honest, Wolof aint the prettiest language lots of "beggas" and "lacks"
Also Im eating Cebe u Jen EVERYDAY, and I like it becuase I can now taste the difference from day to day from household to household, the part thats tough is that I eat lunch at two and then not again until 9:00 and its usually not that good because there are no veggies and its lots of rice or millet and a sauce usually made with oil and maybe peanuts if Im lucky?*;
Ok but so for the most part I am good I like my family and Im meeting lots of people in my vilallage which makes it killer for remembering names and they like to quiz me often. Ive got lots of ideas and will tell you about them as they come to fruision because I know Im gonna need your help friends and family; Ok my brothers are looking over my shoulder asking if Im done yet and so I must go; love Desneige
I love hearing your accounts and experiences. What a trip. I am thinking of you often and wondering how are are faring. I know your positive attitude and happy love of life is going to help you on this journey. Which is a good thing, considering the cockroaches are kitten-sized. My arm hair just stood up on end.
I miss you and love you and am glad you are well.
much love
This is Michael Fox, finally blasting in from the Northwest. I have been reading and marvelling at all of your entries. Your adventure thus far sounds amazing, a new taste of the world, and an opportunity to add your Desneige brilliance in exchange. Of course I am amazed at what you are pulling off...and so proud. You are trully living a dream. So keep it up! Write again when you can, sending happy thoughts to you...

SOUTH WHITLEY — Whitko boys' basketball leading scorer Logan Irwin has gone all season known as a leading scorer in northern Indiana. All-Star selection committees recognized that when Irwin was named a North Junior All-Star. Irwin was one of six players across northern Indiana selected to play the senior all-stars on June 6 at a to-be-announced site. Irwin became Whitko's all-time leading scorer this season with 1,556 points and is on pace to become a 2,000-point scorer upon graduation.
CHURUBUSCO — Dylan Herendeen and Jordan Turner hung up their basketball shoes for bats and sunflower seeds, kicking off Churubusco's baseball season in prime fashion Tuesday. The pair of seniors worked together to post a 1-0 shutout against Leo. Herendeen controlled the defensive side taking Leo out of its offense. The senior lefty posted nine strikeouts and two outs by rundowns in the first and third innings. Herendeen threw a complete seven-inning shutout at the mound.
SOUTH WHITLEY — It's only March and Whitko track and field may have already had its biggest test in the Three Rivers Conference. Tuesday, the Lady Wildcats faced the team that has kept them from a TRC title the past two seasons. Despite winning eight events, Wabash couldn't match the depth of the Lady Wildcats. Whitko served up the first blow of the season beating Wabash 62-52 before the two teams meet again in the TRC meet May 12.
SOUTH WHITLEY — The best offense was a good pitcher Tuesday for Whitko softball. Opening the 2011 season at home, the Lady Wildcats took a 5-3 lead into the top of the seventh inning against Oak Hill. After the tying run reached base, Whitko's Karissa Olinske clinched the win forcing three consecutive outs. She had six strikeouts on the night. Olinske, or 'O' as they like to call her, added to the Whitko offense recording a triple.
SOUTH WHITLEY — It's baseball's opening week and Whitko had no time to warm up. Monday, the Wildcats faced the best class 3A has to offer in their season opener. Preseason No. 1-ranked New Haven traveled to South Whitley. For three innings, Whitko held its ground against the Bulldogs trailing 1-0. A four-run fourth inning turned the gears for New Haven. The Bulldogs went on to win 8-1, holding the Wildcats to two hits for the game.
Churubusco swept a home meet Monday night against Northfield. The Lady Eagles topped the Lady Norsemen 115--17 while the Eagles beat Northfield 98-34. Above, the ŌĆÖBusco hurdles crew take the top three spots in the 110-meter high hurdles. From left, Kyle Monk, Austin Boggess and the event winner Josh LeFever. Both Churubusco teams will host Heritage Wednesday for one final meet before spring break.

It's been three seasons since Churubusco baseball hoisted a trophy. Known for their dominance in the postseason, the Eagles enter the 2011 season with a chance to restore the black and gold image once feared by many in the class 2A sectional. A bit of that fear remains with a class of eight seniors back from the title days. Much of the Eagles power both with the bat and the ball come in the senior class. Along with it comes confidence from the Eagles.
There is one thing that comes up almost daily around Whitko boys track and field. Repeat. Not just any repeat but a fourth consecutive Three Rivers Conference championship. ItŌĆÖs a broken record that the Wildcats hopes stays that way for another season. ŌĆ£One of the things weŌĆÖre hoping to do is make it four in a row,ŌĆØ Whitko head coach Ron Cherry said. ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs our goal that the kids say almost daily. We get together and they yell ŌĆśfour-peat.ŌĆÖŌĆØ For eight seniors, a conference title is all theyŌĆÖve ever experienced. According to Cherry, the winning never gets old.
A lot of the time high school athletes are praised solely on what they do with a jersey on. Earlier this week, two Columbia City Lady Eagles basketball players were recognized among the stateŌĆÖs best for both their averages on the court and in the classroom. Seniors Maddie Hinen and Corinna Raypole were selected by the IBCA (Indiana Basketball Coaches Association) as IBCA Academic All-State Honorable Mention members for the 2010-2011 season.
It was all going according to plan for Mark Rickerd and Whitko girls' track and field team as offseason workouts continued through January. A good mix of seniors along with past conference champions joined a talented freshmen class. Atop the group of returners was hurdler Micaela Sylvester coming back for her third season with the Lady Wildcats. Sylvester made an immediate impact as a freshman and was Whitko's top points scorer in 2010 as a sophomore.

are these any good need a new battery but not paying 120quid 096 Enduroline Car Battery 75Ah 700CCA - Car Batteries - Enduroline Car Batteries
Why not go for E44 Varta Silver Car Battery 77Ah (577400078) - Car Batteries - Varta Car Batteries ? What engine in your car?
i only linked that one because when i put my car in it said that was a upgrade lol and its a 2004 audi a3 140tdi is that a good one then?
That's the battery praised by many members of this forum for our engine. I am fitting mine this week.
I got the e44 from tanyabatteries. Very fast delivery and local shops by me couldnt even get close to thier prices.
Can I just second this. Got mine from them last week. They supplied the E44 for LESS than local suppliers wanted for inferior batteries. A few tips if you are changing your battery: Before you change the battery, park straight with the steering wheel dead ahead. The E44 is larger than the stock battery but will require a little bit of shuffling to get it into the correct position. Remember your battery box will actually come apart so take advantage of that. Once I realised that life became much easier! When done just clip it back together. When you turn back on the car will start *****ing about faults. Let it settle down for 30 seconds or so then take it for a drive. Everything will clear. The one touch window closing & opening will have stopped working. Open each window all the way, and then close it again. You may need to do this a few times. One touch will now work. NB my passenger window remained stubborn but the next time I cycled the ignition I programmed it first time. Some people report it can take a few ignition cycles to work. And the car will forget what the time was but not the date! Bizarre! Finally, please properly dispose of your old battery by taking it to a council dump. I saw some idiot had dumped one in a local lay-by a few weeks back. May a pox fall on their household.
Just changed my battery to Varta E44. Starting the engine, even when warm takes less than half a second now, it's almost instantaneous. Money well spent.

China reneges, will censor journalists' Web access
China reversed its pledge to allow uncensored Internet access to foreign journalists covering the Olympics, dealing another blow to hopes that the Games would lead to political change.
The New York Times
BEIJING — The International Olympic Committee is not insisting that China allow fully unfettered access to the Internet for the thousands of journalists arriving here to cover the Olympics, despite promising repeatedly that the foreign news media could "report freely" during the games, Olympics officials acknowledged Wednesday.
Since the Olympic Village press center opened Friday, reporters have been unable to access scores of Web pages — among them those that discuss Tibetan issues, Taiwanese independence, the violent crackdown of the protests in Tiananmen Square and the Web sites of Amnesty International, the BBC's Chinese language news, Radio Free Asia and several Hong Kong newspapers known for their freewheeling political discourse.
The restrictions, which closely resemble the blocks that China places on the Internet for its own citizens, undermine sweeping claims by Jacques Rogge, the IOC president, that China had agreed to provide free Web access for foreign news media during the games. Rogge has long argued that one of the main benefits of awarding the games to Beijing was that the event would make China more open.
"For the first time, foreign media will be able to report freely and publish their work freely in China. There will be no censorship on the Internet," Rogge told Agence France-Presse just two weeks ago.
But a high-ranking Olympic committee official said Wednesday that the committee was aware that China would continue to censor Web sites carrying content that Chinese propaganda authorities deemed harmful to national security and social stability. The committee acquiesced to China's demands to maintain such controls, said the official, who declined to be identified because he was not the designated public spokesman for the International Olympic Committee.
It was not immediately clear if China had provided special Internet links for overseas journalists working at the press center in the Olympic Village, or if officials feared that relaxing its regular controls might allow some of its own citizens to obtain information that was normally banned domestically.
In its negotiations with the Chinese over Internet controls, the official said, the Olympic committee insisted only that China provide unfettered access to sites containing information useful to sports reporters covering athletic competitions, not to a broader array of sites that the Chinese and the Olympic committee negotiators determined had little relevance to sports.
The official said he now believed that the Chinese defined their national security needs more broadly than the Olympic committee had anticipated, denying reporters access to some information that they might need to cover the events and the host country fully.
This week, foreign news media in China were unable directly to access an Amnesty International report that detailed what it called a deterioration in China's human rights record in the prelude to the games.
"We are quite stunned by the decision but we will survive this mess," the official said. Sandrine Tonge, the media relations coordinator for the committee, said the organization would press the Chinese authorities to reconsider the limits.
Chinese officials initially suggested that any troubles journalists were having with Internet access probably stemmed from the sites themselves, not any steps that China had taken to filter Web content. But Sun Weide, the chief spokesman for the Beijing Olympic organizing committee, acknowledged Wednesday that journalists would not have uncensored Internet use during the Games.
"It has been our policy to provide the media with convenient and sufficient access to the Internet," said Sun. "I believe our policy will not affect reporters' coverage of the Olympic games."
The restrictions were the latest in a string of problems that have tarnished the prelude to the Olympics, which open Aug. 8. China struggled to contain an outbreak of ethnic unrest in Tibetan areas this spring. The global torch relay that China organized to promote the Games was disrupted by protests in several major cities. Air pollution in Beijing has remained severe despite efforts to restrict traffic and scale back factory production to reduce emissions.
In recent months, human rights advocates have accused Beijing of stepping up the detention and surveillance of those it fears could disrupt the games. On Tuesday, President Bush met with five Chinese dissidents at the White House to drive home his dissatisfaction with the pace of change. Bush, who leaves for the opening ceremonies in just over a week, also pressed China's foreign minister to ease political repression.
The White House also urged China to lift its restrictions on the Internet.
"We want to see more access for reporters, we want to see more access for everybody in China to be able to have access to the Internet," the White House press secretary, Dana Perino, said Wednesday. China has "nothing to fear" from Internet freedom, she said.
On Capitol Hill, Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., introduced a resolution on Tuesday urging China to reconsider what he said were its plans to force international hotel chains to track electronic communications by its guests. At a news conference, he introduced redacted documents that he said were provided by the hotels requiring them to install government software to monitor Internet traffic during the Olympics. Brownback said the hotels were worried they would be punished, or even lose vital operating licenses, for defying the orders.
Concerns about press access to the Internet intensified Tuesday, when Western journalists working at the Main Press Center in Beijing said they could not get to Amnesty International's Web site to see the group's report on China's rights record.
T. Kumar, Amnesty International's Asia advocacy director, said he thought the government was hoping it could dissuade reporters from pursuing stories about human rights issues by blocking their access to Internet-based information. "This sends the wrong message not only to journalists but to anyone on his or her way to the Olympics," he said.
It was not clear how hard Olympic committee officials pushed for open access to the Internet during negotiations with the Chinese, which dated back to the decision to award Beijing the games in 2001, or why Rogge, the Olympic chief, promised that the news media would have uncensored access during the Games when officials working for him were aware that China would keep at least some of its censorship policies in place.
Kevan Gosper, press chief of the IOC, was quoted by Reuters on Wednesday as saying that IOC officials had agreed that China could block sites that would not hinder reporting on the Games themselves.
"I also now understand that some IOC official negotiated with the Chinese that some sensitive sites would be blocked on the basis they were not considered Games-related," he told the news agency.
The senior Olympic committee official said the committee pressed hardest for unfiltered access to sites that sports reporters would need to cover athletic competitions. He said such sites included some that had been blocked in China in the past, including Wikipedia, but did not include political sites run by groups that the Beijing government considers hostile, like the spiritual sect Falun Gong.
Jonathan Watts, president of The Foreign Correspondents Club of China, said he was disappointed that Beijing had failed to honor its agreement to temporarily remove the elaborate firewall that prevented ordinary Chinese citizens from fully using the Internet. "Obviously if reporters can't access all the sites they want to see, they can't do their jobs," he said. "Unfortunately such restrictions are normal for reporters in China but the Olympics were supposed to be different."
ALSO: Beijing Olympic organizers said they were "disappointed" that rehearsals of the Aug. 8 opening ceremony were broadcast on South Korean television and were trying to find out how it happened.
Seoul Broadcasting System, South Korea's third-largest broadcaster, two days ago ran a two-minute item including images of people practicing for the opening ceremony.
Details of the ceremony are one of the most closely guarded secrets in the Chinese capital, with those involved having to sign pledges of secrecy. Unlike in Athens at the 2004 Games, none of the rehearsals are open to reporters.

Route #2) San Luis Peak - South Ridge from West Willow Creek
TH: | From Creede, follow main street North from town 1.1 miles to a fork. Take the left fork on the Bachelor Loop road up the hill past the old Commodore Mine complex. Continue 2.2 miles to the junction with the East Willow Creek 4x4 road. Stay left on the Bachelor Loop road. After 1.9 more miles, reach the juntion with the West Willow Creek road at a hairpin curve. Go north on the West Willow Creek road past the Equity mine and cross the creek 0.9 miles past the mine and reach the trailhead at the end of the road. |
Route: |
From the unmarked parking area, head northeast up an easy-to-follow old 4WD road for a mile towards a 12,300' saddle east of Point 12,540 for 1.6 miles. Photo #1 and Photo #2 show a view of the route up to the saddle. From here, an excellent view of the South Ridge appears. Heading north, cross the saddle (Photo #3) and drop 150' to meet up with the excellent Colorado Trail - Photo #4. Follow the Colorado Trail as it descends few hundred feet to a low-point of about 11,860' in a small forest - Photo #5. The total elevation loss is about 400'. Continue on the trail as it contours 1 mile around a basin, passing a sign marked "Bondholder Meadows" (half way around the basin) marking a few campsites, and climbs up to another saddle at 12,360' in the upper Spring Creek drainage (Photo #6, Photo #7, and Photo #8). |
Notes: |
IMPORTANT: This route enters the La Garita Wilderness area. Wilderness areas have special regulations and restrictions for party size, dispersed camping, campfires, etc. Also, dog owners should read the wilderness information carefully because some wilderness areas prohibit dogs to be off-leash and/or limit how close dogs can be to lakes and streams. If you have questions about the La Garita Wilderness area, please contact a U.S. Forest Service office for the National Forest(s) listed above. |
