Has anyone used a wedding guide book you have liked? I'm not sure about a lot of the traditions, who pays for what, etc. |

I like the books Weddings for Dummies and the Idiots Guide to Planning a Wedding. Both contain good, common sense information about planning a wedding, unlike some of the books out there that are geared to the $50,000 wedding. To answer your question about who pays, today most weddings are paid for by the couple and both sets of parents, though not necessarily equally. If parents want to help, they volunteer and they decide whether they want to give the couple a sum of money or pay for certain items, such as the photography or the food. If parents don't volunteer, then it is the responsibility of the couple to pay for their wedding. |
DON'T rely on books to tell you "who pays for what." Your personal circumstances, your families' and communities' customs, and who is hosting and making the decisions are what should dictate who pays for what, not some "rule," which by the way doesn't exist anyway. More people have gotten themselves into more trouble -- often poisoning important relationships at the worst possible time -- by informing their parents/in-laws/attendants that they "have to" pay for, plan, or do something and shoving a book under their noses as if that made it a law. Don't you fall into that trap. A wedding reception is, after all, just a party. So, like any other party, the hosts pay. That may be the bridal couple, one or both sets of parents, someone else, or some combination. Often, of course, someone else will offer to the hosts to contribute something -- a dollar amount, the liquor costs, or whatever. How that all plays out depends upon your circumstances. Say the bride and groom are planning and hosting the wedding. Their families may offer to contribute, especially if they are requesting to invite more guests than the couple had budgeted. Or say the bride's parents are hosting. They may tell the couple something like, "We are happy to spend $X on this wedding. Now you decide what you would like (e.g., more people and less expensive arrangements, or fewer people at their dream reception)." The groom's parents (or the bridal couple) may offer to contribute, or not, or they may decide to host some other event. Do you see why there couldn't possibly be a "rule" about Who Pays that would be one-size-fits-all for the financially independent older couple, the young bride and groom from wealthy families, for the bride from a huge, local family and the groom from a tiny, distant one -- etc.? The same is true for what I think you mean by "a lot of the traditions." Books can give you interesting and useful information, of course. But no book can tell you what YOUR families' and communities' traditions are. If they are different from what is in the book, you aren't going to get anywhere by insisting "But it's in the book!" if someone is unhappy that you are flouting their tradition. |

No need to demand a refund from Athlon or Lindy's because those preseason magazines failed to pick football winners this year for the Western Athletic and Big East conferences.
Football, in those leagues, has gone to the Big Coffin Corner Kick in the sky.
These represent the most dramatic changes in the ongoing onslaught of conference reconfiguration.
The good news is the Centers for Disease Control may finally have a handle on the exodus epidemic that has plagued college football since Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College bolted the Big East for the Atlantic Coast nearly a decade ago.
"Do you really think it's over?" San Diego State Coach Rocky Long recently wondered.
Yes … maybe … one can only hope.
The epitome of absurdness occurred two seasons ago when Syracuse played a cross-country game at USC.
Syracuse boarded the plane as a member of the Big East and landed as a member of the ACC.
In significant off-season news, though, all ACC schools agreed to a "grant of rights" arrangement. That means the ACC gets to keep the television money of any team that leaves for another conference.
This was a major move to protect the ACC from any further raiding, which is ironic given the ACC started all this realignment nonsense.
Not that the Big Ten had its eyes on Georgia Tech, or anything.
There is still a lot to keep straight:
Maryland leaves next year for the Big Ten. What? Yes, that deal was made before grant of rights. So Maryland is a lame turtle until 2014, when the ACC will add Louisville. The ACC this year adds Pittsburgh and Syracuse from the old Big East.
Big East
It fell apart and then reformed as a basketball league built around the Catholic schools. Basketball gets to keep the "Big East" name while football loosely reconfigured as the American Athletic Conference. The AAC keeps its automatic bid in the last year of the Bowl Championship Series, and it's fitting that outgoing Louisville is heavily favored to claim it. Rutgers plays one last year here before moving to the Big Ten. This year's 10-team league also includes Connecticut, Cincinnati, Central Florida, South Florida, Houston, Southern Methodist, Memphis and Temple.
Big Ten
It remains 12 teams this year and moves to 14 next year with the addition of Rutgers and Maryland.
It picked off two more bodies from the defunct WAC in San Jose State and Utah State. The Mountain West also caught a huge break when Boise State and San Diego State pulled out of planned moves to the Big East.

Your dog is being submissive towards a predator that is larger then him. If you want to train him out of that, contact your local hunting trainer.7/15/2014 1:47:49 PM
He needs to go to a vet within 3 days of getting him. Make sure he is approved from a vet for being in a home. If the pup is raised with the cat, then the pup should be fine. But remember to allow the cat to have as much space high above to get away from the pup when he/she wants too.7/15/2014 1:49:16 PM
As long as the pup is on leash and you don't let him eat anything off of the ground then he is fine. Remember to wash his paws after as well and to make sure he drinks water only from your home until he has the rest of his shots. If he is to interact with any other dogs, ask and make sure they are up to date on their vaccinations.7/15/2014 1:50:32 PM
He is marking his territory. Make sure you clean it up with an enzyme cleaner. As for the training with your children, you must train the puppy that it is not okay to jump up on the kids. Once the kids say no to the dog, you must go over and reinforce the behavior to show the dog that the kids are above the dog as well. Contact your local Positive Reinforcement trainer for more help/advice.7/15/2014 1:52:22 PM
Yo have to correct your pointer every time. Use positive reinforcement when she doesn't nip you. Lavish her with praise when she is good. Give her a firm no immediately and consistently when she nips. 7/29/2012 10:24:49 AM
Contact your vet, he/she can give you some milk replacement.7/15/2014 1:52:47 PM
Puppies explore with their mouths. Contact your local positive reinforcement trainer for classes and advice on puppy training.7/15/2014 1:53:28 PM

It's been a month and he and the kittys play....if you're consistant with a dog, they know how to act. All I do is say easy and he plays with not tries to "hunt" the kittys.2/7/2012 5:28:28 PM
I have to disagree, I adopted a full grown pointer 2 years ago that had been severely neglected. We have 3 cats and she never harasses them. Obviously not all dogs will be the same. But you must use positive reinforcement when your dog acts accordingly around your cat. I will say that my Pointer is a smidge possessive but I make sure to praise her and pet her with my free hand when I'm loving on my cats. If your dog makes any unwanted gestures towards your cat or rough houses, correct quickly with a firm authoritative no. Pointers can be bossy if you are not a firm yet gentle leader. Best of luck! 7/29/2012 10:30:43 AM
I think it should be easy, I'd follow the basic "come" command at close range with a dog whistle-and if you choose you could use a remote collar to later allow the dog to be able to run off-leash using the dog whisle(collar if necessary) to call the dog back. -my pointer really needs to run quite a bit off leash daily. 12/23/2011 5:33:14 PM
HI, I have a 1 year old pointer and yes when he was a puppy he had little spots but now he has alot of spots.2/29/2012 7:38:36 PM

I have very dry lips that flake very easily. If I don't have some kind of product on them at all times, they feel very uncomfortable. No product ever fixes the problem, but does work as a band-aid approach, and this is one of the best I've tried. I apply it at night since the texture is too gritty to use during the day (plus the glass pot is heavy and I don't want to carry it around). In the morning, my lips are softer and the dry skin is much easier to exfoliate off. In other words, instead of forming a barrier on my lips like most other lip balms, this works to soften the lips and thus get rid of dry skin. I won't say that it's some kind of miracle since my lips are still dry and this doesn't 'cure' that, but its a handy product to have in my struggle against annoyingly dry lips. For reference, other helpful lip balms I've tried are weleda's Everon, Aquaphor, and Lansinoh.
I can certainly appreciate some of the less than positive reviews of this product; quite frankly, it took me a bit of trial and error to get it working for me. I did not care for the product at first, but it has become a winter staple. It is a really thick and gritty formula, and can feel quite unpleasant on the lips initially. However, I have found that if you spend a some time working it into your lips, as the product warms, it spreads and sinks in much easier, and the grit dissipates. I usually spend 30 seconds or so working it into my lips, and the results are then worth all the fuss. I only use this at night, usually during the colder months when my lips are dry, and by morning, everything is smooth, supple and plumped. I've had my tub for awhile, so I figure the cost is justified by how long the product lasts.

I brought this lip balm on my Paris trip for 7! Sadly I live in the US & it retails at $19 here, it became my favorite lip balm. I've tried many classic favorites like: Kielh's #1 (too shiny), Fresh sugar lip treatment, Philosophy Hope in a Stick & Burt's Bees(too waxy), Maybelline babylips & EOS balms(not moisturizing at all), Ettusais lip essence (good but expensive & hard-to-find), I finally settled with the good old Carmex (a bit slippery) & Elizabeth Arden 8 Hr Cream (amazing but smells weird), these 2 works wonder if worn by itself, but they are not ideal under lipstick, because they both make my lips slightly too glossy/ slippery for lipstick application; Nuxe moisturizes by penetrating in, but without the scent & glossiness (male friendly), which makes my lipstick stay much longer & more vibrant with less product. Only issue is: If you store it in cold temperature it gets harden, and therefore difficult to scoop up the product & apply on lips. I love this lip balm & wish I've stocked up more from the French pharmacies.

Awesome stuff! A friend got this and the tube version from Paris and I prefer the jar because it's multi-purpose. This stuff makes my lips so incredibly soft. I just pat on a little bit onto my lips in the morning and before bed and my lips stay soft all day. I also use a small amount of this on stubbornly dry patches on my body before bed like around my fingertips. It is a little bit sticky on the skin, which is why I use it only at night. But when I wake up in the morning, the dry patches are no longer dry. A little bit really goes a long way so I probably won't have to repurchase!
Hi everybody - My name is Sanja and i am a lip balm addict! I have purchased almost anything that has balm in the name and if its French and its got "baume"...then its going in the cart regadless of anything....Yes i have a serious problem BUT products such as Nuxe Reve de Miel are plain enablers since this purchase has proven to be nothing but a positive influence in my beauty routine :)
I love this balm because its different than anything else i have. Its a balm and its moisturizing but its also dry and matte; all at the same time...I know - its a contradiction! Reve de Miel is absorbed into the lip and creates a dryish matte finish but your lips still feel nourished and protected. Girls who hate the gloss finish and the sticky aftermath WILL LOVE THIS! The initial grittiness will also helps exfoliate the lip surface as an added little bonus.
The texture is a little off putting at first but once you are used to it this will be a necessity. The scent is mild to me and comforting to say the least - nothing too sweet or heady like some other honey-scented products.
This is becoming a pattern for me - yet another product that is HTF but definitively worth the hunt :)
6 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'll keep this short and sweet. This product is amazing!! It's so thick but doesn't feel heavy on the lips at all, you can feel it moisturising within seconds of putting it on. It has a very slight gritty texture which sinks in not long after but you can feel this exfoliating your lips as you go. In terms of longevity, this knocks the socks off any lip product I've ever tried, if you put this on before bed you can actually feel it when you wake up in the morning, incredible!
I've gone into further detail on my blog here:
In short, you'll struggle to find anything as nourishing, healing and smoothing as this. And if you...let me know! ;)

A lip balm that is not glossy or waxy. Finally, a lip balm that sits naturally on my lips and hydrates them the way a lip balm should. Its matte so I can wear it underneath any lip stick/stain without it making an awful glossy, slippery mess!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product is proof that I am still a sucker for a really good review. I still have no clue what I was thinking when I shelled out the cash for this, because it is ridiculously overpriced. The little glass jar is neat, and it has a stuffy sounding French name, and it's not that common here in the US, so one can feel really rich and European pulling it out of their bag. Personally, I like applying lip products with my fingertip, so there's that...and it's also a very dense formula that stays on your lips really well...but that is probably because it is full of super grade bees wax or something.
I really don't find it all that luxurious or comfortable to use. It's...grainy. Kind of rough. And sticky. Sort of suffocates your lips. And it does not moisturize any better than other less expensive lip balms I've used. The scent is just okay, nothing special. I won't be buying again when this runs out, as I am sure I can find many other better and ridiculously overpriced things to blow my money on next time.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Rarely do products live up to the hype - for me, this one does. It is a thick, heavy, waxy balm that sticks to your lips and lasts through a whole night of sleep - even if you are a mouth breather. Although it doesn't feel lubricating - in fact you don't want to rub or smack your lips together with this on - In the morning, my lips are soft and plump. I don't know if it adds moisture or just keeps it from evaporating, but it works. Although I am not particularly fond of the plastick-y/rubbery feeling of it on my lips - and it seems to have some particles or clumps in it, too - I can't deny that it gets the job done. The scent is sweet/citrus rather than the honey one would expect and I have not noticed a taste. As others have noted, this is matte, like a Chapstick, not glossy at all It comes in a heavy glass pot and costs too much but it works better than anything else.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like this lip balm, it smells very nice and stays on the lips for a very long time, hours for sure if you dont eat much... It is hydrating and prevents the lips from being dry.
Not sure if I like the matte effect it makes on the lips - dont use a lipstick usually so I dont mind a bit of shine... It feels a tiny bit sticky maybe as well.
But overall a very good product, a lot of product in the jar, it is going to last me for ages!

Welcome to SEMCOG's Think Regional/Act Local blog! SEMCOG is the only organization in Southeast Michigan that brings together all governments to solve regional challenges and enhance the quality of life for the seven-county regions 4.7 million residents. With this regional perspective in mind, we work with member local governments to sustain our regions reputation as a great place to work, play, and do business.
Our panel of SEMCOG staff bloggers will post daily to this blog, discussing SEMCOG's data, federal and state legislative issues, and environmental and fiscal sustainability best practices for local governments all with the goal of creating a successful future for the region.
June 18, 2012 — You know, I think it is really hard to strike a deal with someone after you have called them militant, radical, and extremist. Yet that is exactly what a democratic senator called conservative house republican members of the conference committee trying to develop a 15-month transportation bill. There are now less than two weeks remaining in the current short-term extension of SAFETEA-LU. The legislation either has to be extended or a new bill developed and passed prior to June 30, or the bill and funding lapses – in an election year, no less!
This is beginning to sound like a new chapter of the blame game. Each side blaming the other for stalled negotiation, negotiating in bad faith, and just not willing to go as far as the other side. Republicans want to ease environmental and regulatory review and want to restrict the use of the transportation enhancement program. Republicans also have tied the Keystone pipeline to the reauthorization proposal.
Democrats have threatened to just pass their Senate bill and count on the fact that it received strong bipartisan support in the senate. Many think if it gets introduced to the House, it will pass.
And so it goes. Fourteen days and we are still name-calling with a long-term solution out of sight. Sometimes, I hate it when I am right and this looks like one of those times. Look for a six-month extension to the end of the calendar year and then another one until early 2013. This Congress can't get it done – let's hope the next Congress can!

A couple new reports shed light on where the U.S. housing market is headed and what a recovery may look like. Last week, I had a chance to sit in on a webinar sponsored by S&P Indices where the panel believed a housing recovery could still be a few years off. That being said, recent indicators suggest the stage is being set for a recovery to take hold. Housing affordability is near record highs and the job market is growing (although slowly). Excess housing supply is falling and so too are the number of foreclosures.
With a healthier national market, what does this mean for Southeast Michigan? I think what I said in our 2011 Community Fiscal Capacities still holds true. We are certainly affordable; however our job market needs to improve. Our state's foreclosure inventory is dropping and recent home price indices show the region's prices close to a bottom. Prices will rebound (slowly) once there is sustained job growth and there is further decline in negative equity rates and foreclosures in the market.
So what may a recovery look like? That leads me to the second report. The Demand Institute just published "The Shifting Nature of U.S. Housing Demand" and they have some intriguing findings. They believe the recovery will be led by demand from buyers for rental properties. More than 50 percent of people planning to move in the next two years intend to rent – young people and immigrants especially.
The Demand Institute also believes the recovery will not be uniform across the country. Factors like foreclosure inventory and unemployment rates will have a major impact on how local and state markets perform. Additionally, they believe local amenities – like accessibility to public transit - will influence prices.

United States of America.
Introductory intertitle reads: "Using specially designed equipment these unusual pictures were made of the discovery of prehistoric Mastodon fossils, in the depths of Wakulla Springs, Florida." L/S of the Springs. M/S of a man having diving helmet placed on his shoulders. He is lowered into the water. Underwater shots of the man at the bottom of the Springs, he picks up a large bone. The man is then helped to the surface. Another underwater shot. The bone is raised up out of the lake. Shots of the diver are intercut with shots of the men on the surface wakpulling up the bones.
"Mr C. Ponton, the well-known American Geologist, explains the unique collection." Four men stand on a dock looking at the very large dinosaur bones that have been salvaged. Mr Ponton speaks about the finds. Closer shot of the men who look at one of the bones.
Note: this is the first item on the reel - there is no opening main title sequence. Sound on the first section of this film is rather poor. It is probably integral sound filmed at the scene. Men shout things like "That's a big one!" as the bones are lifted from the water.

For a fast-track bankruptcy review case, Hudson was asked to perform both first and second level reviews under an extremely tight deadline – five days for approximately 30,000 documents. With an equally tight budget and little time to prepare, corporate counsel did not have a clear view of the task at hand, and 60 reviewers were lined up to start immediately. However, Hudson''s project manager quickly sized up the situation to create a practical, yet expedited, action plan.
With a detailed process architecture in place, Hudson was able to analyze true resource needs, taking the review team down to 30 highly-productive professionals. As is typically the case with discovery consulting engagements, "slowing down to speed up" paid tremendous dividends.
Even with significant redactions, the results of this bankruptcy review case were powerful: an on-time, successful production completed using only half of the client's initial estimated resources.

"I made these with 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour subbed for flour. Very good and moist. Used lemon zest instead of orange because that's what was on hand. Microwaved the butter, added the milk and proceeded with recipe."
"Nice moist cookie. I had trouble with the glaze hardening in seconds. I think it was probably user error. I barely managed to get any on the cookies. In the future ill use a smaller saucepan. I'll definitely be trying the recipe again. Even though the glaze is a little hard it has a great sweetness that complements the buttery pumpkin pillows."
"I ended up having to cook these for 18 minutes to get a crisp top and condensed milk just ran out the sides of it. They were salvageable, but I ended up having to do surgery and cut off a substantial amount of runny, raw batter off the sides. I'll keep looking for a better recipe."
"This recipe is great! I mixed the strawberries, lemon, and sugar and mashed it up a bit before chilling it. I didn't pulverize it, I just mashed it enough that there was plenty of red liquid to color the ice cream pink. Because I use a kitchenaid attachment, I didn't add the strawberry mixture to the rest until the cream mixture had already been i..."
"These were pleasant tasting, but a bit too thick and heavy for my taste. I felt as though I'd eaten a hockey puck, the way it sat in my stomach. I may try them again with a bit more moisture. Thanks for posting."
"I left out the carrots, added some thai basil and substituted one of the potatoes with a sweet potato. Also I used yellow curry paste since I already had a container open. cubed my taters and boiled them for 5 minutes. The potato was a teeny bit undercooked, but the sweet potato was just right. Overall it turned out very well, especially cons..."
"I added deseeded cherry tomatoes, feta, and spinach. I think you could get away adding a variety of ingrediants and still have it taste outstanding. I give it my highest recommendation, everyone at the party loved it! Thanks for sharing this :)"

Gaston Leroux
Gaston Leroux, born in Paris in 1868, was a French journalist, playwright, and detective/thriller writer. Beginning his career as a crime reporter and war correspondent, he lived an adventurous life that took him to Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and even into North Africa disguised as an Arab. His high-spirited, often dangerous, escapades and questioning nature provided much of the background and plot material for his sensational mystery and adventure stories, particularly those starring his reporter-sleuth, Joseph Rouletabille. One of his most famous detective novels, The Mystery of the Yellow Room, was published in 1907, and his works have been called "among the finest examples of the detective stories we possess." But Leroux's best-known story is The Phantom of the Opera (1911), whose macabre hero has been played in film by classic horror film stars Lon Chaney and Claude Rains. Leroux died in Nice in 1927.

Lexus RX 300
bobgail Posts: 12My rx300 has 155k miles on it. At 80k I changed the transmission oil using T-4. On the dipstick there is a tag that says "no need to change the transmission oil under normal driving conditions. On awd, change the transfer case oil according to schedule" I changed it anyway. The transmission is really working great, but with all the postings lately, I looked at the oil on the dipstick and it was "kind of black". I brought the car to my new local mechanic and asked him to do an oil change. He refused saying that with the amount of miles on the car, it may never run after the oil was changed. I now post this to get you opinions regarding the advice I received from a certified (ASC) mechanic.
wwest Posts: 10,706Something is seriously wrong within the transaxles of our RX300's. Whatever it is results in the fluid being burnt appearing and smelling burned. Mine at 38,000 miles.
But the shorter term problem is that the fluid is becoming highly contaminated with debris from the inordinately high clutch frictional surface wear. This contamination is preventing the fluid from functioning properly in its primary functions as a simple hydraulic fluid and lubricating oil.
Last July I contacted Lexus directly twice via email and both times they sent me to the dealer for an answer. The dealer assured me that Lexus was now recommending fluid flushes at each 15,000 mile interval.
That was at 38,000 miles. I changed out the fluid myself, 4 qts.
About 2 months ago during my 45,000 mile DIY oil and filter change I checked the fluid again. Dark and odorous.
So I changed it out again, 4 qts.
Checked a week later and the oil appeared just as dark, again.
Discovered that the diff'l, but not the PTO, also runs in transmission fluid and holds about a qt. unless drained via the separate drain plug. So this time I not only drained the diff'l I dropped the sump pan and cleaned about 1/8" of what appeared to be ground up pencil lead from the bottom of the pan. Installed 5 qts this time. ALL fluid came from Lexus.
Three magnets in the bottom of the sump pan had a few metallic particles attached but in my opinion not enough to indicate any serious problems.
Bellevue Lexus service manager has now informed me that the factory has come down on them about undue service recommendations so now the recommendation for our transaxles is not to flush but to inspect and only flush if the inspection indicates a need.
Yours indicates a need.
Were I you I wouldn't put any further trust in that particular ASE certified mechanic. -
bobgail Posts: 12After the local guy refused to change out the transmission oil, I took it to my local Lexus dealer. They took care of the service without a "hesitation" and charged me $129 for the procedure. (12 qts of oil, filter clean out, etc) Not too bad. Car still rides great after 155 k miles.

ayh55122 Posts: 2Both my 200 ES 300 and 2002 RX 300 have this frequent noise that occurs when AC is on. It is not very loud but certainly audible. It may reoccur in short intervals ( less than a minute) and last a few seconds. The noise sounds like air discharging or something. Just wondering if any other owners have the same experience. Is it a problem? :confuse:
lordkama Posts: 23
pschiffe Posts: 373See messages 8526 and 8529 above. I removed the wiper motor and with some diligence found that the problem was corrosion where the shaft passes through the bushing in the door. I disassembled that portion, cleaned, lubed and put it back together. Motor was fine, works like new, took about two hours total. Dealer probably would have just replaced the whole assembly for only about $200-$300! BTW, inside panels just snap in and out using "xmas tree" type retainers.

jlem Posts: 1I am looking at a 2002 Lexus rx300 at a local used car dealer. It looks great and drives like a dream and is fully loaded with a sun roof, CD changer, leather seats, etc. The dealer has put new Michelin tires on it. It has 70,000 miles which is somewhat of a concern to me. I have talked the dealer down to $23,000. The Blue Book shows about $25,000 retail. CarFax says there has been no damage reported. It was apparently on lease to one owner in Pennsylvania. Does being under a lease give one a warm feeling that the proper maintenance has been done to this car? What sort of Lexus recommended maintenance items will I be in for with this car at this mileage? Plus, I don't know how long things like hoses, shocks, wiper blades, fan belt, etc. will last on this car. Overall does this car sound like a good buy? Thanks in advance for your response.
lmoon Posts: 1Hello - I am new to the forum but I am hoping to get some good advice on the problem I am having with my RX300.
Starting in 2004, for about a year now, my car has stalled (just goes dead when coming to a stop or when turing into a driveway) five times so far. The dealer has told me that I need to use premium gas, which I have started to do at the beginning of this year. But my car has stopped 2 or 3 times more since that.
What happens is that the car just goes dead with all the panel lights coming on. I then simply turn my engine off and restart the car. And the car starts fine after that. So I am not overly concerned but it is still bothering me this happens and it is happening more often now, it seems. I have only about 33K miles on the car.
Any advice??? would be greatly appreciated. -
wwest Posts: 10,706A fellow teamseattle member drove his brand new Ferrari Scarletti(SP?) to Daytona for the 24 race. It stalled in SFO and went to the shop for a few days. Again in LA, to the shop again. He went to dinner on Sunday evening after the race and the car wouldn't start when he came out.
Flatbed to Orlando where they discoverd that the battery connection at the firewall was loose.
Check your battery, battery connections, both ends, thoroughly. -
pschiffe Posts: 373Just got these quotes from irontoad.com:
right rear taillight assembly (lift gate portion only) P/N 81580-48010 $150.34
driver side wiper blade P/N 85222-50040 $22.46
passenger side wiper blade P/N 85212-36030 $18.81
rear wiper blade P/N 85242-48010 $23.98
Yes, these are genuine Toyota® parts and supposedly Irontoad allows a 20% discount, but these prices seem usurious. Anybody know of a more competitively priced supplier?
Pete :confuse: -
lordkama Posts: 23Hello!
I have had a few instances similar to you regarding the stalling issue and with the dash lights all lit up. It occurred when I first bought the car and it again a year or so later. In my instances, the car seemed to be jumpy and rough sounding prior to the stalling. I attributed to possibly bad gas---automobile gas, of course.
This has not happened to me while turning or braking. -
rugmankc Posts: 133My 2002 RX does fine on regular, I don't think your problem is gas. Have a 98 Windstar with a similar problem. The problem was a component on top of the engine, which I think was the throttle positioning sensor. Someone else may be able to confirm that. Ford has a TSB on it. It died only when making slow turns. It was allowing the rpm's to drop too low and the engined stalled. Replaced it and no problems. Maybe you can leave the car with the dealer for a few days to see if they can duplicate the problem.
Good Luck! -
parocker Posts: 2I have a 1999 RX that I bought as soon as they were available in June of 1998. Love the vehicle and plan to keep it til it dies, which could be some time. My question revolves around when to replace the timing belt. The manual for the 99 says replace at 90K if you drive in certain strenuous conditions, which I do not. Otherwise there is no recommendation for replace with just normal operating conditions. Does anyone have any experience with timing belts and when to replace. Local Toyota (no Lexus in Charlottesville) quotes about $450 to do the job.
mikey00 Posts: 46200 and 01 RX owners manual says change timing belt at 90K. Nothing about strenuous driving. From reading posts here and on other RX forums it looks like most play it safe and have it done at 90K, which is a good practice. I will most likely play the odds a little and have mine done by the Toyota dealer at 120K and have him do the plugs at the same time.

duane3 Posts: 7I just came from the Lexus dealer. My check engine light came on shortly after I left a gas station (I checked the gas cap and it was on tight) - car runs perfectly, but I felt I should have it checked. Dealer found code P0171, said I need to replace the Mass Airflow Sensor - $300.00. I told them to forget it for now. Is this really the problem? Is the cost appropriate? can I do this myself?
Thanks -
wwest Posts: 10,706If you remove the gas cap and do not fuel up then you will get an engine check light becuase the system thinks the gas tank vacuum was lost due to "other' causes. Same thing can happen if you start the car first and then put the cap back later.
When the fuel tank level increases (enough??) coincident with a loss of vacuum the diagnostic is cancelled.

The front of the pain cardboard with blue printing on it displays the company and chassis name at the top, followed by a rendering of the front of the chassis along with features like noise reduction, the HDD trays and native USB 3.0 are all covered.
Spinning the box you now see both names again at the top, but this time they are followed by a specifications chart that matches the one we just covered.
Around back there is a look inside the chassis with five key features listed around it. They also give you an idea of the underside of the chassis with its large feet and the ventilated area for the PSU that comes with a dust filter.
On this side, it is very much like the opposing panel we looked at, but this time there is a pair of boxes under the chassis name. This is to show if you received the CSAZ-920B in black as I did, or the white version, the CSAZ-920W.
Going with what has worked for years, AZZA employs the same plastic liner and Styrofoam caps that have worked very well in most instances for any manufacturer. In this specific instance, the box was a little worse for wear, but the foam and plastic did their job and there were absolutely no damages to my Silentium 920B.

― Joyce Carol Thomas
Poet, playwright and author
(b. May 25, 1938)
From, "Skins: Poems"
Word on the street is the flockers are back.
Efforts to confirm said rumor with Flamingo Queen Zandra Whaley, aka The Pink Lady, who likewise is a top-notch civic servant by anyone's standards, have met with less success than a three-legged tortoise running Lane 3 against Usain Bolt.
For the innocent who are not privy to such shades of pastel skullduggery, I speak of the "Flamingo Flock," an odd ritual whose popularity over the past two years has exploded across the yards of even good people throughout Cleveland proper.
Yet, proper is hardly a word to be used in the same breath as this 2-year-old mayhem in pink feathers.
The Flamingo Flock is a cold practice best left to angels of the night who feed on the unsuspecting by leaving an army of flamingo figurines in the lawns of those whose "friends" have paid for the service. It is an overnight assault conducted by teams of spirited volunteers whose sole purpose is to spread awareness of breast cancer during this tell-tale month of October.
It's all a part of Volley for a Cure 2012, so I am told.
As far as good causes, they come no better than Volley for a Cure. Yet, as with all things pretty, look deep and one might find its counterpart — the ugly.
Assuredly, the sight of 20, 30, 40, 50 or more pink flamingoes at one's front steps at the crack of dawn will shake the coffee cup right out of a nervous hand. Those who place these pink puppets of prey under the cloak of darkness are the midnight legions known to the knowing as "flockers."
It is not a practice for the weak. The task of the wayward flocker comes fraught with great risk.
What if a porch light flicks on smack in the middle of a midnight flock? What if piercing headlights shine an unexpected path into the driveway of a flocking victim? What if Neighborhood Watch squeals "pink" to a 911 dispatcher? What if such shades of pastel are not the passion of the pretties at home?
These are but a few of the questions I had always wanted to ask of a confirmed flocker. But never have I met one; at least, not of my knowledge.
But most will say, "Flockers can be fiends."
It is why mine was a coup in pink the night I stumbled upon a verified flocker. I didn't recognize her face. We spoke in hushed tones in the still of a frosty night. Her testimony came unforced, her presence an unspoken surprise. She wore pink sweatshirt and black pants. A short and somewhat round girl, her pink turtleneck offered her the appearance of ... a pink turtle.
I didn't speak my mind. I was too polite. And Mama didn't raise no fool.
Fumbling with my reporter's pad in the dark and struggling to control the ball-point pen in the cold air, I asked her name.
She refused.
I said "please."
She refused again.
"Pretty please," I added.
"Not even with sugar on top."
We settled on ... Deep Flock.
I had dreamt of this moment. I have slept with visions of triple bylines ... Woodward, Bernstein and Norton. Can anybody say, "Pulitzer?"
"OK, Deep Flock," I began. I was cool, calm, perhaps even smooth. "Why do you ... flock?"
She smirked under the dim light of the streetlamp. Why she chose this clandestine setting I had no idea. The street was quiet, the sidewalk barren of all life. Our meeting was arranged by a third party. I didn't know the caller's name ... Pink somebody, I think. It wasn't Floyd.
"Why does anybody flock?" she responded to my first blistering question with one of her own.
"I don't know," I answered. "It's why I asked."
"You like pink?" she quizzed.
"It doesn't complement my skin tone, if that's what you mean," I said. "Not to worry, though. Black, blue, green, yellow, red and white do little for me as well. But this is not about me. I want to talk about you. Why ... flocking? Why not, say ... walrus wrestling?"
"Do I look like I give a hoot about walruses?" Deep Flock asked.
With a thoughtful ponder, I answered, "No, I guess not. Walrus wrestling takes a special breed. And you're just ... a flocker."
Fearing I had crossed the unseen line of trust between dastardly reporter and anonymous source, I quickly redirected.
"So this flocking ... does it go back to your childhood?" I asked. "Did you hate your parents?"
"Huh?" Deep Flock asked. "Get a grip, Lois Lane."
"Excuse me?" I asked. "Was that ... some kind of shot?"
"Never mind," she continued. "So look ... you want to know why we flock?"
"I want to know why 'you' flock," I corrected, further creasing the furrow between my brows. In the day before social media answered all questions of life, we called it reportorial intimidation.
"Something wrong with your eyes, Sherlock?"
"Er ... no," I stressed. "Just a little strain. Long day in the newsroom."
"I'll bet," Deep Flock chuckled. She reminded me of Roseanne Barr. I wondered if she could sing.
She continued, "Look. You seem like a decent enough guy. Get your pen ready and I'll tell you the whole sordid truth about flocking."
"And ... and you're going to tell me why you do it?" I beamed, my smile piercing the dark.
"Kolchak, I'll tell you anything you wanna know," she said. "But one warning ... it ain't pretty."
I could feel the lump rise in my throat as her story began.
I gulped.
And Deep Flock talked.
The sky seemed darker. The stars grew dim. And the night stood still.
Next week, folks.

In Friday's showdown at Enid, Okla., Boggs put his name in the record books as he went 4-for-4 to bring his series hit total to 14, which tied an NJCAA record for the most hits in a Division II World Series. Boggs also drove in two runs and scored twice against the Wolfpack.
Boggs got his first of the game with a lead off single in the bottom of the second. He came up to bat again in the bottom of third as he stroked a RBI-single for his second hit. In the bottom of the fifth, Boggs made two trips to the plate. He walked in his first appearance and roped a RBI-single for his third hit of the game in his second trip. The RBI-single was part of an eight-run rally that put the Eagles up over the Wolfpack 12-3. In the bottom of the eighth, Boggs stepped up to the plate for the fifth time of the evening. Boggs put bat on the ball again as he spanked a single to left field for his record tying hit.
Boggs said he didn't realize he was in pursuit of a record until it announced that he tied it at David Allen Memorial Park.
"The announcer said it after I got my fourth hit," Boggs said Saturday morning. "I looked around, and I saw these fans cheering me on. It really meant a lot."
The biggest thing that Boggs' performance did was help Hinds defeat Madison 12-6 to put the team in the national championship game against top ranked Mesa tonight at 7 p.m.
Boggs was excited about the chance to play in the title game.
"Words can't explain," Boggs said. "We just worked hard all year and worked through a lot of adversity with people being injured and fighting through the pain. Blood, sweat and tears and we've made it this far."
For the series thus fa, Marshall was hitting .583 (14-for-24) with two home runs, nine RBIs and six runs scored.
One person that has been important for Marshall in his life is his brother Taylor. Friday night was also Taylor's 24th birthday. Marshall was excited to tell Taylor about the record.
"It gave my brother one heck of a birthday present," Boggs said. "He's always been behind me and always supported me with whatever I've done."

Muang Tam Temple, Buriram
The Angkor-period temple of Muang Tam in Buriram province is closely associated with neighbouring Phanom Rung. Prasart Muang Tam lies four or five kilometres as the crow flies on the plain beneath the extinct volcano on which Phanom Rung is sited.

Spiritual Guidance: Dispersion just wants to love you {WoW}
Nov 3rd 2008 10:39AM Just for starters i'm originally a holy/disc priest and enjoyed that a long while untill blizzard decided to make both of them pretty useless with pointless talents like penance(which is in no way good for pvp as i really have to survive myself 95% of the times and guardian spirits which is nice but is impossible to time and you'll find yourself stupid wasting it on times it wasn't needed. now i went shadow because well, i heard some good things about upgraded damage. first of all let me tell you the mana regeneration is rubbish, a paladin will always do more damage then a shadowpriest and has exactly the same buff for mana regeneration. dispersion as the main part of this topic is my least favorite. the 6 seconds of doing absolutely nothing in pve is useless as you couldve chosen something that increases your damage or makes you last longer doing it. a real long time raider will always agree that there is simply no room for mistakes and only for doing more at what you're good at, doing damage. priests have no other thing anymore then doing damage and you'd hope they're good at it now. from a pve standard i'd say yes, its not bad but personally i'd like to see it get better, i wouldnt head for dispersion but yeah i like the shadow tree it's just disapointing we never get these ''woops we gave you too many good things lets nerf you'' situations we had at paladins(yes i got one too). now in a pvp situation, this is my least favorite and i would absolutely render it useless. it protects you from 90% of the damage which obviously needs a power word shield to absorb the 10% of lol damage they do. but while you use this it will only be in a situation of pure dots and overal too much damage. not only do you just delay your death by 6 seconds you can't do anything to save yourself in that time either. the only situation where it would help is if you had a healer... but you never do! we don't team up with healers because we're absolutely not a class that's remotely rendered to be compatible with one due to the fact we have no mana regen, our dots are all dispellable, mind blast and shadow word death(which backfires) are our only dps means because we cant use mind flay since were always target #1! so everything in a nutshell this makes you survive for 6 seconds to die afterwards, even if you had a healer they would CC him and you couldnt do a thing... why? cause you have a skill that makes you as agile and responsive as a rock.
The Light and How to Swing It: Uncle {WoW}
Nov 1st 2008 6:35PM Anyone currently making a joke of quotes from GC yeah but i find it a rather serious issue now that these nerfs keep coming at us and this one indeed hit the spot, personally i only ONCE saw the possibility of using them together and it wasnt in a pvp situation since global cds are still fighting us. now i cannot ever use it as it will simply fill up the forebearance spot forever. there is no room for a bubble in between and frankly im already resorting to my other 70s cause i don't feel like bothering i liked my pally first and now its getting worse and worse and my re-found fun in the class is gone just as fast. also i would like to use this post to point out HoF(hand of freedom) doesn't remove all stuns, sap seems to persevere.

Using many of these strategies, entrepreneurs have racked up numerous victories in China. Kushner says his company has been profitable every year since 1997. NewTone Communications expects to be profitable by the beginning of 2003, less than five years after the company was founded; by comparison, nearly all U.S.-focused communications companies that got their start in the late 1990s have gone bankrupt or continue to struggle. Chic Logistics has reached profitability and expects to become the major national logistics provider by 2005: The company has already beaten out international logistics players like Maersk for several contracts in China. Phoenix Tech-nologies has signed major deals with several of the largest Chinese computer firms, including Legend Computer, and expects China to become one of its two main sources of profits within five years.
Despite successes, smaller companies are not breathing easy. "When I first [began] going to the mainland 20 years ago, people would come up to you and touch your skin to see if you were real," says Peter A.J. Gardiner, executive chairman of the board of directors at Zindart Ltd., a Hong Kong-based toy manufacturer. "Now, Chinese [people] in most cities are more comfortable dealing with foreigners and have brought some private businesses up to foreign standards." Indeed, the number of private local companies in China rose by 15 percent in 2001, and these firms will increasingly dominate the economy as the hulking state enterprises-vestiges of Mao's era-are downsized and eliminated. In November 2003, the Chinese goverment announced that it was accelerating the privatization of thousands of state-owned businesses.
Adding to small companies' worries has been the SARS virus that hit China over the past year. Although there's little evidence that SARS has made it harder for companies to recruit employees or to manufacture and ship goods for export, several economic studies have estimated that, by scaring consumers, SARS will shave at least one percentage point off China's annual growth, potentially depressing the market for many goods.
Meanwhile, the prolonged boom in China, which has posted economic growth rates of more than 7 percent per year for more than a decade, draws more foreign competitors into entrepreneurs' industries. Since China entered the World Trade Organization in 2001, committing itself to further liberalizing its economy, investment into the country-already the second-largest recipient of foreign capital in the world-has actually increased. Nomura Securities, a Japanese research firm focusing on Asia, has predicted that foreign trade with China will double by 2006.
And entrepreneurs, who typically have fewer resources with which to defend themselves, are not immune to piracy and graft. A 2000 PricewaterhouseCoopers survey of 35 countries found that only Indonesia and Russia boasted more corrupt government officials than China. Even Chinese leaders recognize the extent of the problem. Huang Jianping, a former top official at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Co-operation, admitted that it is cheaper to pay off bureaucrats in China than to spend money on law and accounting firms that would enforce trademarks and rigorously audit operations and balance sheets.
"If some kind of [intellectual property] theft happens, what are you going to do?" says Gardiner. "The court system is improving, but you are still not going to go there with a serious intellectual property claim."
Kushner agrees: "My products usually get knocked off by local competitors in about two months-three months, tops." Despite the potential hazards, though, China still promises to be fertile ground for entrepreneurs in search of new opportunities in an untapped market.
Trekking Into New Territory |
If you're considering taking your business to China, here are some strategies to help ensure your success: 1.Wear out your shoe
leather. 2.Learn the lingo. 3.Pay managers a high
wage. Kushner agrees, saying: "You have to pay managers top dollar, and you also should pay the inspectors at your plants well; otherwise you'll wind up with too much of your product going out the back door, and one day, you'll see your items for sale in the local markets." |

A Lakemore man moved out of his foreclosed house several weeks ago, leaving more than 50 cats behind. The entire linked article is below.
Here's the part that makes me so angry, a few bucks to have the cat spayed, and the problem would have been avoided. The former homeowner told Schickendantz that the problem began with one female cat he had four years ago and never had spayed. |
Here is a link that might be useful: More than 50 cats left in forclosed house
Follow-Up Postings:
It is easy to judge people for their indiscretions especially when innocent animals are involved. However there may be that the former homeowner had some sort of emotional or mental inbalance and became overwhelmed into inaction. This happens all over the world, some people actually end up moving out of their homes and into their garages, leaving the poor animals to go feral. It is a shame and it is a testament to the need for more public education and outreach |

isnt it awful. 50 more cats now that need new homes and many may even be euthanised before then, especially if they have any health problems. my husband used to work with a fellow who was always taking in stray cats and never had them sterilised so when a dumped kitten just showed up at his work, this guy was going to take it in, and I couldnt bear the thought of it so even though at the time we didnt want a cat we took her in instead. she's a cranky old lady now but she's had a good life and never had to fight it out with a bunch of others just to get a feed. I guess some people think they're doing the right thing but when it's like that they arent doing the cats any favours |
I am working with a man who is rounding up and euthanizing about 100 cats. He and his wife had started to care for a couple of strays, and before long, a couple turned into over 100. None are vaccinated and all I have seen are infected with herpesvirus, causing severe respiratory infections and many have non-healing ulcers in their eyes. Some are blind because of it. His wife died a couple of years ago, and he was trying to keep up the work in her honor, but they didn't have enough money for basic healthcare so things got out of control very quickly. Herpesvirus is very contagious to other cats, so rehoming these poor things is not an option. They are all going to the shelter to be humanely euthanized. It's better for the cats, all the ones I have seen are suffering greatly. But I do feel really bad for the man because he feels like not only did he fail the cats, but he failed his deceased wife. He's taking it really hard. Luckily his church his helping him on that aspect, because it is really tearing him up. You never know the whole story from the media. |
Meghane, our local TNR deals with this all the time, elderly people who try to help strays by feeding them without spaying/neutering, and are soon overrun with cats. It's a sad situation for everyone. |

I suspect that by the time the first litter comes along the cost of just getting up to 6 or 8 cats sterilised has blown out beyond a lot of people's budget and add to that food costs and vaccinations and it just doesnt work. I dont for a minute think these people realise they are doing any harm and Im sure they genuinely care for the cats but in most cases the animals do suffer from health problems etc and end up being euthanised eventually anyway. it's just a shame that they dont realise from the outset how important sterilising is until it escalates to an overwhelming situation. |

"You never know the whole story from the media." Amen to that. I'm really cynical about the media on this & other topics; |
Some people DO realize it and just don't give a flying rats tail...I have a neighbor who just had to let her oldest daughter get a kitten..female of course, well then a few weeks later the youngest daughter just had to have a kitten. Now 2 females..told friend get them spayed..Aww no they are house cats.. Yes so are mine..Get them spayed.. I can't afford it... Get them spayed!!.Fast forward a few months, female cats are driving her crazy and she throws them outside..Now both are preg...she was planning on dumping them at the pound and telling them they were dumped at her house.. I don't think she has taken them in yet. So our neighborhood is going to be over run with cats. All becausse she couldn't say NO to her children, she knew when she got them she couldn't afford to have them spayed. littlebit |
I know a seemingly educated person who criticized me for having my pets spayed/neutered, declaring that I was depriving them of a s*x life. Can you believe that? I know an older lady who worried about the expense and left her two cats unfixed. She wasn't aware that that she could qualify for low-income spay/neuter vouchers. She ended up with fifteen cats in her one-room apartment. A friend and I helped her get them all fixed. The lady chose three to keep and the others were placed with volunteers for a foster group. This whole process took several weeks, and months later only eight have found permanent homes. I can't imagine what time and effort dealing with 50 would take. Those rescue folks in the news story have their work cut out for them. |

What I find amazing dealing with people like that (which I had to do plenty times)...is that they do not get it, it is much cheaper to fix one or two, than feed 10-15! |

Ford F-Series 4x4 Problems
dbweaver Posts: 88I had the same problem with my '99 F250 with automatic locking hubs. Are you sure the hubs are locking? Mine stopped working on auto, I haven't had any more trouble with the A/C but I have to lock my hubs manually when I want 4 wheel drive.
There is a big yellow O-ring on the bearing assembly that makes the seal for the vacuum. You can take the bearing assembly off clean it real good, replace the O-ring and that will fix it for a while. If you use your truck off road alot it won't last long. I suppose it don't take much dust or dirt to break the seal of the vacuum.
I personally would rather get out and lock my hubs as to change those O-rings again! Good luck -

I am in Buffalo, NY. I used my 4X4 High to maneuver through snow yesterday. The temp was 18 degrees with lake affect snow and blowing wind. After getting home, I tried to turn off the 4X4 shift on the fly, nothing happened. So I read the book and followed it and nothing. So, I then placed it into 4X4 Low Range, it locked in, dash light is on. I believe my transfer case is locked in Low Range. Because I stated sliding while trying to get the 4X4 to unlock. So I got out and locked my front hubs and I had tracking to the front. What is going on? I am afraid to drive it to the dealer as I am in 4X4 Low Range and can't get the transfer case to disengage. :mad: -
mstrm3 Posts: 2i had the same problem with my 250 sd... in the middle of the 4x4 low and hi points on your stick theres a neutral. put your truck in drive and just drift. put pressure on your 4x4 stick until you slip into neutral. stop your truck, put it in park, and turn it off. from there you should be able to put in 4x4 hi or 2x4

whitemfox Posts: 6My 96 Ford 150 charges just fine until I turn the heator or lights on then it discharges the battery., but if I shut them off the battery charges rigth back up now the strange thing is when I shut it off and if I leave the battery connected it drains theg battery dead but if I disconnect the battery cable and hook it back when I am ready to go it will fire right up.. I am confussed by that part of it

bkakam22 Posts: 1I have a similar problem with my 06. with 17K miles, they replaced the 4x4 "electronic motor selector" to make it work. I used it about a month ago before a snow to ensure it worked. I tried it yesterday and it doesn't make any noise and will not change out of 2H. I checked my local dealship. Motor system is $150.00, Another $150.00 to repair. If you find out any different, let me know please.
frog12 Posts: 3Well Folks, This issue has been present on my F-350 '03, '05 shtbed & '05 longbed. An engineering flaw that is keeping dealers in business with the recent economic dump. It seems to me that somewhere along the line Ford would have researched the problem. I had a similar problem with my 2000...that was built and having problems long before the others were made. I have been a Ford man for 60 years...that may change SOON!!
