Precautions After Total Joint Replacement Surgery
Precautions after total joint replacement surgery are safety measures. Safety measures are guidelines to help your joint heal properly and help you avoid injury after surgery.
Weight on the new joint:
Right after surgery, your new joint is not able to hold your weight. Your primary healthcare provider (PHP) will tell you how much weight you can put on your joint. Over time, your PHP will increase the amount of weight your joint can bear. Your joint can loosen and move out of place if you put too much weight on it. Follow instructions on how much weight you should put on your joint. Use crutches, a cane, or a walker to help you move around more easily and help prevent a fall.
Climbing stairs:
Climb stairs one at a time. Step up with the same foot each time. Do not switch feet for each stair. You may need to use crutches or a cane to help you go up or down stairs. Always follow safety measures for climbing stairs.
Body positioning:
- Sit in chairs that have seats at least as high as your knees.
- Use a special seat extender to raise your toilet seat at least as high as your knees.
- Do not cross or twist your legs.
- Do not bend at your waist to pick things up. Use a tool to help you grab objects.
- Do not sit for longer than 1 hour at a time.
- Do not lie on the side of your body that had surgery.
- Follow instructions about using pillows to help position your body.
Ask your PHP when you can resume your normal daily activities. Ask when you can start to exercise and what exercises are best for you. Avoid activities and exercise that cause joint pain. You may need to see a physical or occupational therapist. These therapists teach you how to safely move with your new joint. They teach you activities and exercises that help make your bones and muscles stronger.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
Contact your primary healthcare provider if:
- You develop bruises.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
Return to the emergency department if:
- You fall.
- You have severe pain.
- One or both of your legs are red, warm, and swollen.

Got mower for free and had a go fixin, had been sittin ~ 2 yrs, sump full of fuel when I got it so I assumed needle/seat fouled and cleaned a little, drained sump, then tested operation by pushing float up with fuel in it. Sure enough fuel stopped and started with adjusting float level, so put it back together, fired it up and away she went!
It was very smoky but thought that was from sittin so long and let it run bout 20s, then, started to die down and all of a sudden oil and fuel starts sputtering out air filter intake and all over engine(had filter off to view inside for fuel leakage). So I'm a bit confused but came to conclusion musn't have gotten all fuel out of sump and it ignited from below and somehow pushed itself backwards??? So, oils down now and I top up oil, fire it up again - same S***! BTW, what's the little switch for below the carby reservoir housing the float? Extra info: MTD 155 1/C, 18 HP "Black Beauty" from Bunnings, 42" cut, Briggs eng 28q777, type 0624-01, code 960628zd, float had no holes, did valve clearances, new sparkplug, new oil (but when it pissed out new oil, I topped it up with 20W-40 car oil thinkin I would just get it running then drain it out later and put the SAE 30 in) I'm no mechanic and would appreciate any and all help - thanks! Anyone got a repair manual for one of these? |
Follow-Up Postings:
"what's the little switch for below the carby reservoir housing the float?" That is an electric solenoid valve that shuts off the flow of fuel thru the main metering jet to prevent "after fire" when shutting engine down hot. "1/C, 18 HP "Black Beauty" from Bunnings, 42" cut, Briggs eng 28q777, type 0624-01, code 960628zd," Someone has been having fun. A Model 28p777 B&S Engine would not be 18 hp. but that is not your problem. IF it has a fuel pump, it may be bad causing gasoline to leak into crankcase. Walt Conner |

Thanks Walt - appreciate your input - Was under the impression it didn't have a fuel pump as I figured it would be between tank and carby and I can trace line through to there without seeing any pump. Further, the tank is positioned above the carby so would think it wouldn't need one - Am I right? I'll check that 18 HP too... |
- Posted by farmerdilla (My Page) on Mon, Mar 22, 10 at 18:27
If it is pushing oil out through the filter, You have a pressure buildup in the crankcase. Could be as simple as overfilling or as complicated as worn rings causing excessive blowby. |
Check the float, to see if it floats. Sounds like that may be your problem. I remove the float and float it in some gasoline, for an hour or more. A teeny pin hole will cause a no-float position. Like the bottom of the bowl? Yep! And that will give you a lot of trouble. |

American Idols
The Colorado sunshine bathes red rock formations on the slopes surrounding Larry Crabb's house. Outside the living room window, shaggy deer nose sparse bits of grass. "Donkey deer," Crabb explains. "On the East coast, deer are very attractive. These are not the most attractive deer. They're probably eating my flowers right now."
They are.
One ugly deer peers in the window as the popular conference speaker, psychotherapist, and professor listens to a quote from one of his 16 books, a hopeful hypothesis about the church, The Safest Place on Earth:
"A spiritual community consists of people who have the integrity to come clean. It is comprised of those who own their shortcomings and failures because they hate them more than they hate the shortcomings and failures of others, who therefore discover that a well of pure water flows beneath their most fetid corruption."
Leadership: Have you seen such a place?
Larry Crabb: When Philip Yancey read the book, his comment to me was "It seems to me you've written about a place you've never seen but hope you will someday."
I've now seen it in a church we helped start back in Indiana. They are an incredible community of people who live in an ongoing brokenness with joy. And my wife and I are now in a spiritual formation group we started over two years ago with three other couples. We're close to it. I think in twenty years I'll still tell you we're close to it. Spiritual community is like a good marriage. It's good, but never ideal. We're getting closer to it.
Spiritual community as you describe it seems to be a place where we can be honest about our sins and open about our weakness. How does that include pastors?
I think the missing element in most pastors' lives is community. Pastors spend time in the Word. They're willing to spend time on their knees. At least some are not that willing to open up their hearts to another brother or sister and say, "Can you help me discern?"
Discern what?
Impotence, inability, that there's nothing of eternal value I can do apart from the Spirit.
On one level, brokenness is simply the release of spiritual power, the Spirit doing his thing and power coming out. It only happens through brokenness, which I think is the most underrated virtue in the Christian community today. But beyond the release of power, there's this deep understanding of our weakness.
Strength, then, is not a virtue to be cultivated. It is a reality to be released. It's something that is already there. It gets released increasingly over the course of your lifetime as brokenness becomes more complete.
Has that been your experience?
That's my testimony. Brokenness wasn't much a part of my life until the last few years. And it feels like it's an increasing thing. But I don't find brokenness to be a morbid thing at all. There's something alive in me that brokenness has simply surfaced.
The first of Luther's 95 Theses was about brokenness, that Jesus willed that the whole life of believers should be repentance. In other ...

NCAA Football
College Football Rankings 2014: Final NCAA Overview of Week 7 Standings
After one of the wildest weekends in recent college football history, the schedule for Week 7 has the potential to be just as wild with five games featuring two ranked teams going head-to-head on Saturday.
With Auburn squaring off against Mississippi State, Ole Miss going to battle with Texas A&M, Big 12 rivals TCU and Baylor in a marquee matchup and more, college football fans will be treated to an enthralling slate of action.
Here are the full rankings heading into Week 7 and the matchups college football fans can't miss.
*Full Amway coaches, Associated Press and Bleacher Report Top 25 polls found here.
Week 7's Top Matchups
There are several intriguing college football battles this weekend, but none have the mainstream appeal that the SEC meeting between Auburn and Mississippi State is garnering.
Auburn is one of the top teams in the nation. With a stellar defensive unit only giving up 14.4 points per game and an offense scoring an average of 42 points per game, it will be tough to stop the Tigers. Mississippi State won't be afraid of Auburn, though.
After beating LSU and Texas A&M in back-to-back weeks, the Bulldogs have confidence and momentum on top of raw talent. While Auburn has the defensive edge (Mississippi State allows 19.4 points per game), the Bulldogs have an offense just as talented compared to the Tigers, averaging 42.6 points per game.
Auburn defensive tackle Gabe Wright told the Associated Press, via the Washington Post, about the problems his team could face against Bulldogs quarterback Dak Prescott:
He puts a tremendous amount of pressure on you. He is a dual-threat quarterback and just saying that, I think that in itself already speaks volumes. Dual-threat means he can both run and pass. And he's mentally capable to run their offense now. I think he's more comfortable now.
The resulting war on Saturday could produce the most interesting game of the week.
Another SEC battle worth watching is the red-hot Ole Miss Rebels taking on the Texas A&M Aggies. After Texas A&M lost to Mississippi State last week, a second loss to a team from Mississippi may be too much for the Aggies to handle. The Rebels are coming off a huge win over Alabama and should be able to put Texas A&M away.
The next intriguing game will be the Big 12 battle between the Baylor Bears and the TCU Horned Frogs. The fast-paced, high-scoring offense of the Bears is the best in college football with an average of 51 points per game, but the defense is vastly underrated, allowing just 12.4 points per game.
Baylor hasn't played a team as good as TCU this season, though. The Horned Frogs took down the Oklahoma Sooners in Week 6, and their 12th-ranked offense and seventh-ranked defense will give the Bears the toughest test they have faced so far this season. The winner of this matchup will gain instant credibility among College Football Playoff voters.
One matchup not getting the love it deserves is the Oregon Ducks against the UCLA Bruins. The Ducks have been one of the best teams in the nation, but a tough loss to Arizona last week has many fans souring on Oregon's national championship hopes. UCLA is also coming off a loss to Utah, and the resulting matchup will be two ranked teams looking to rebuild their postseason resumes.
There are also several other marquee matchups fans can enjoy—including Arizona vs. USC, Georgia vs. Missouri and many others—but the aforementioned games will steal the mainstream spotlight this week.
With a serious chance of fireworks in each game, college football fans can't miss Week 7's action.

October 1, 1999, 12:00 AM
By Charles P. Pierce
The people in the country clubs bought up every last scrap of the old, weird America, to borrow Greil Marcus's vast and useful phrase. And now golf, even at its roots, even at its most primitive, starveling level, has a corporation to sponsor it, and that corporation uses sex to sell its seafood, a sailor's whispers transformed in- to a salesman's beery boasts. And the corporation drops a tournament into a place where gambling sings soprano now, where it has buffet breakfasts, forgotten lounge comedians, and valet parking.
Walk all the way out, however, and look at the people who play in the tournament, and you can catch just a glimpse of what used to be, like the lights of a juke amid the distant trees, where the glare of the neon doesn't reach. Maybe we'll all be saved from manufactured jackpot redemption. Maybe there's enough left of the old unshaven dreams. And maybe, just maybe, the presiding image of America as the millennium crashes down doesn't have to be a three-hundred-pound woman with oxygen tubes up her nose stuffing coins into the nickel slots at 2:00 a.m., wearing a T-shirt that reads, jesus solves my problems.
Slight, with a bit of a slouch to his walk, David Howser has overachieved at his sport ever since his father moved the family into the home along the course at Colonial, near Memphis. "When David was ten years old," recalls his father, John, a prominent Memphis neurosurgeon, "he'd go out on the practice tee and hit balls for two hours." One day, after a bad round, David laid his clubs down on the ground and cried.
"That was the proudest day of my life," John Howser explains. "He was crying because he couldn't hit shots that nobody could hit. I knew I had a winner then."
David moved on to the University of Arizona, where he played his way into a scholarship. He also met and married Ashleigh, a bright and funny art-history major from the University of Memphis. After they were married, in January 1997, David and Ashleigh decided to go out on the Hooters Tour together.
They put the Wanderlodge on the road, bouncing from Puppy Creek to Boonville, from the Delta Pontiac Performers Classic to the Jackaroo Steakhouse and Sauce Classic, from Missouri to Indiana by way of Florida and South Carolina. The Hooters Tour began in 1988 as the United States Golf Tournament. Three years later, a real estate magnate named Rick Jordan financed it, but Jordan lasted only two years. Hooters took over the sponsorship in 1993. One of the first things the company did was bump the total purse for each tournament up to $100,000, which is a considerable temptation for those players unable to land a spot on the Nike Tour, the official gateway to the Big Tour itself.
Hooters is a strange, suspended existence. Its tournaments in fact are a more accurate miniature of the PGA Tour than the Nike tournaments are. Hooters golfers play seventy-two-hole tournaments. There are leader boards. Yet they know that to win on the Hooters Tour means to have a chance to have a chance at the Nike Tour, which is a chance to have a chance at the biggest payoff of all. Hope's equations can be the most inexorable. That's why casinos and professional golf survive.
"How long have I been out here?" says Hooters Tour member Zoran Zorkic, who, for four straight years, has missed the final stage of the PGA's qualifying school by a single shot. "Too long."
David's father agreed to sponsor him on the tour. (Most of the Hooters players have individual sponsors.) "My dad was adamant about that," explains David. "That way, I could bypass a lot of the frustration you get by asking people to pay your way. Anybody I'd have asked would've been friends of my family, and that would've gotten complicated, too."
David and Ashleigh looked for a way to cut their expenses. Most of the golfers drove between tournaments, and the Howsers decided they'd save on motels and food. They set about looking for a motor home and found one at an estate sale in Union, Mississippi. (As is his wont, David methodically researched motor homes and found that the Blue Bird is known as the Cadillac of the form.) They bought it immediately, and the three of them--David, Ashleigh, and their boxer, Samson--took off for the open highway.
And then they broke down. A lot.
"It was in great shape to look at. We haven't done anything to the cosmetics of it," David explains. "But we've replaced the transmission, and the refrigerator, the air conditioner, the water pump, the engine-block heater, and it goes on and on." Their honeymoon was enlivened when the pumps froze and, when they got to a campground outside Oklahoma City and hooked up the water, the pipes exploded.
"I'm keeping a scrapbook," explains Ashleigh.
In the middle of the 1997 tour, they set out for a tournament in Sikeston, Missouri. Riding along with them was Casey Martin, who would become famous the following year for riding a golf cart in the U.-S. Open because of a rare circulatory disease that affected his legs. Martin is one of the Hooters Tour's most successful alumni. But after his ride in the Wanderlodge, Martin is lucky he lived long enough to become controversial.

Despite my insistence that the recessed lighting installed in my renovated kitchen have a baffle that is easily screwed out to replace the lamp, the electrical contractor installed a halo h7T can. As far as i can tell the halos will only accept a spring loaded trim baffle which has to be pulled down to change the lamp bulb. Does anyone know the name of a recessed lighting trim that includes a screw out baffle of whether there is such a trim kit for the halos. |
Follow-Up Postings:
actually its not the baffle i want to screw in, its the actual lens |
- Posted by Renovator8 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 3, 11 at 14:34
You should ask the electrician perhaps in writing this time. |
Your can use a few different types of baffles. You can use the old circular spring type, or the v shaped spring type. That can has 2 ways to install the baffled trim. You can pretty much buy any 6 inch baffle and it will fit. |

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Wear a life jacket, boat sober and stay alert during the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, urges the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division (WRD).
Lt. Col. Jeff Weaver says, "It is easy to get caught up in the holiday spirit, but do not let the excitement of being out on the water deter you from your responsibility. Be alert and prepared for the safety of your passengers and for others on the water."
So far this year in Georgia, 54 boating incidents have resulted in 22 injuries and five boating incident-related fatalities. Additionally, there have been 17 drownings on public waters. Conservation rangers have issued 63 boating under the influence citations statewide.
Following are some of the many recommended safety rules for boat and personal watercraft (PWC) operators:
PWC operators also should be aware of these additional safety rules:

After looking through these pictures I think it's safe to say that if Clueless was ever re-made, Cher would totally wear this! Come on, this mini gingham skirt (cough cough skort cough) is so 90s I can't even handle it. Okay, back up just a minute because what I really can't handle is me admitting to owning a skort. But if you think about it, it's kind of a genius idea. Combining the elements of both a skirt and short into one; you can still feel like you're wearing a mini but not be concerned about flashing your goodies to anyone. As if! Okay, well I guess this is my own personal take on the decade because even though there are some definite 90s elements in my outfit it somehow feels so me and relevant!

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 He said to me, "Human, stand up on your feet so I may speak with you." | 1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you." |
2 While he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and put me on my feet. Then I heard the Lord speaking to me. | 2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. |
3 He said, "Human, I am sending you to the people of Israel. That nation has turned against me and broken away from me. They and their ancestors have sinned against me until this very day. | 3 He said: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have been in revolt against me to this very day. |
4 I am sending you to people who are stubborn and who do not obey. You will say to them, 'This is what the Lord God says.' | 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.' |
5 They may listen, or they may not, since they are a people who have turned against me. But they will know that a prophet has been among them. | 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen--for they are a rebellious house--they will know that a prophet has been among them. |
6 You, human, don't be afraid of the people or their words. Even though they may be like thorny branches and stickers all around you, and though you may feel like you live with poisonous insects, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid of their words or their looks, because they are a people who turn against me. | 6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house. |
7 But speak my words to them. They may listen, or they may not, because they turn against me. | 7 You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious. |
8 But you, human, listen to what I say to you. Don't turn against me as those people do. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you." | 8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you." |
9 Then I looked and saw a hand stretched out to me, and a scroll was in it. | 9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll, |
10 He opened the scroll in front of me. Funeral songs, sad writings, and words about troubles were written on the front and back. | 10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe. |

New Google Calendar App
Google Calendar users rejoice! We just created a new app that lets you embed a Google Calendar within the Table. If your church uses Google Calendar—which is a great, free calendar solution—this could be a good way to tie your events and the Table together.
While this app does offer a quick, convenient solution, we understand that it's not ideal. Full integration between the Table calendar and Google Calendar is ideal and that's what we're working on. But that's a pretty complicated integration and we want to take the time to get right. We rolled out this embeddable Google Calendar app in response to customer suggestions, to give you something you can use right now while we work on the fully integrated calendar.
SuperAdmins can click on "Add Apps" and search for "Google Calendar" to add this app to your Church page. Group owners can also add it to their groups and Members can add it to their Me page.

Bean would know. Not only has he seen the moon firsthand; in his retirement he has become an acclaimed painter of moonscapes. "When I painted my first painting of space," he says, "I realized that I knew everything about it--like the way that a spacesuit wrinkle looks in the sun. I have a love for my subject that I wouldn't have if my subject were horses."
This brings us to baseball.
Specifically, it brings us to what, arguably, may be the only other major public event of 1969 that most people can now recall with a fondness untainted by revulsion: the 1969 World Series. Unless you're a Cubs fan, of course. Even if you're not, there is still plenty of revulsion to go around. This was the year in which the FBI was exposed for having tapped Martin Luther King Jr.'s telephones. Teddy Kennedy drove the family myth off the bridge at Chappaquiddick. The Manson family carved up half of Los Angeles. At White Lake, New York, half a million young Americans managed to convince themselves that tribal love and pride were rampant in the land. Soon afterward, the Hell's Angels, acting as security guards, stabbed a kid to death at a Rolling Stones concert.
Meanwhile, at the peace talks, the United States and North Vietnamese delegations busied themselves by bickering over the shape of the table to be used when South Vietnam and the National Liberation Front finally sat down.
Ah, but 25 years ago this October, the lowly New York Mets sprang out of the cellar and whacked the mighty Baltimore Orioles a fatal blow in the World Series. As the hopeful throngs out at Mile High Stadium can tell you, the Mets were the first expansion team to win a Series, and they did it in just their eighth season.
With that in mind, Dante, Charlie, Andres and assorted Rockies yet to be named or worshipped can take heart. So can the Colorado fans. One day a pennant will fly over Coors Field, and it might happen before it happens in, say, Seattle, or Arlington, Texas.
In troubled 1969, no one thought it would happen in Queens. When it did, my good uncle Jack came up with tickets through methods known only to him. These were not just any tickets, either, but sixth-row seats behind the Mets' dugout. Not only that, they were for all three World Series games scheduled at Shea Stadium. Uncle Jack gave the tickets to me and promptly went fishing. I called my friend X., and on October 14 we met in O'Banion's, a mile from the park.
This is what happened then:
The Series had come to New York knotted 1-1, and Gentry was going for the Metsies. But X., a lifelong friend, had other things on his mind. At 24, his joints still ached mysteriously from some crud he'd picked up over there and, truth told, he hadn't taken a real solid meal since he got back. In O'Banion's that day, he was firing down neat shots of Smirnoff--not with the showiness or the foolish nerve of youth, but with the joyless concentration of an old man who's peered over the edge. By noon, X. and I were cooked. You can't let your best friend drink alone. Can you? Course not.
Out at the ballpark, Tommie Agee ripped a homer in the first, and a couple of innings later he made the first of two spectacular, sliding catches in the outfield that are now encrusted in World Series lore. Swigging openly from a pint of vodka, X. stared dreamily at the sky and said something like this:
"Are you aware that the diamond Richard Burton gave Liz Taylor weighs in at 69.42 carats? Guy at Cartier's paid a million bucks for it the day before the sale. Says he made a profit on it with Burton. I like that. A profit. Cartier's made a profit on the diamond. That's great."
Out on the field, Gentry had just fanned Boog Powell. You know how you associate such things. At the precise moment X. was saying "profit on the diamond," I now remember with odd clarity that Boog Powell was striking out. And I remember thinking about the way X. used to play shortstop. The catlike grace moving either way. The soft hands. The smooth rifle arm. In high school and Legion ball, he had simply been peerless, and when he got to community college, the Yankee scouts had gone upstate to check him out not once but three times. They wanted to sign him. Definitely. He might have become a Yankee.
But X. did poorly in school. Not dumb. Distracted. So the draft board got him. Induction. Basic training. He was no hero, like the astronauts, he said, but a grunt. "A fuckin' grunt," he said later. Almost before he knew it, he was in the middle of the Tet offensive, shooting at guys in a bright wall of noise and blood and chaos. Guys getting killed all around him. Agonizing with the dysentery. Wondering about the strange aches in his joints. And keeping the Marlboros dry. Later he talked about that. You had to keep the Marlboros dry. In late 1968, he pulled two wounded buddies out of a ditch, and they gave him a medal for it. "Big deal," he said. By the time he came home, dazed and skinny, X. was already heavy into the Smirnoff. Now, sitting out here at the World Series (lean young Nolan Ryan had relieved Gentry, with the Mets leading 3-0), baseball was not on his mind.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Diary
The United States and Pakistan are developing a joint intelligence
apparatus designed to eliminate jihadist HVTs in the South Asian nation,
according to media reports on Thursday. The reported move, which comes
within days of a visit by U.S. secretary of State Hillary Clinton and
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Michael Mullen to
Islamabad, will involve a team of operatives from both the CIA and the
ISI. According to the reports, the team is assigned the task of hunting
down top al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders including, Afghan Taliban chief
Mullah Mohammed Omar, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the deputy of al-Qaeda founder
Osama bin Laden, Sirajuddin Haqqani, the leader of Taliban forces in
eastern Afghanistan, Atiya Abdel Rahman, purportedly the number 3 leader
in al-Qaeda, and Ilyas Kashmiri, the highest ranking Pakistani leader in
al-Qaeda involved in operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.
That the CIA and ISI have agreed to joint operations aimed at eliminating
key jihadist figures would be an extraordinary development considering
that U.S.-Pakistani relations are at an all-time low. Washington and
Islamabad were already at odds with each other over American efforts to
develop unilateral intelligence and military capabilities in Pakistan when
a task force of U.S. Navy Seals in a unilateral operation May 1 killed
al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in a compound some three hours drive time
from the Pakistani capital. The incident massively aggravated tensions
between the two sides given that the Obama administration clearly stated
that its decision to go solo on the Bin Laden hit was informed by concerns
that the leaks within the Pakistani security system would jeopardize the
So, the question is how a** a mere month later a** can the two sides come
to an agreement on joint operations against top jihadist figures? Some of
it can be explained by the fact that United States depends upon Pakistan
for its regional strategy and that despite all the problems, Washington
cannot simply afford to walk away from Pakistan and let it drown in its
own jihadist abyss. Indeed, Admiral Mullen today said, "I think the worst
thing we could do would be cut them off...If the United States distanced
itself from Pakistan, 10 years from now, 20 years from now, we go back and
it's much more intense and it's much more dangerous. We're just not living
in a world where we can afford to be unengaged in a place like this.a**
Accepting Pakistan for it is and trying to stabilize it means that the
United States cannot undermine Islamabad and thus needs to try and work
with the Pakistanis. Acting unilaterally is tantamount to contributing to
the undermining of the Pakistani state. This would explain the move to
engage in joint operations a** a long-standing Pakistani demand that in
theory is designed to shore up the sagging credibility of the Pakistani
government and its security establishment.
That doesna**t, however, solve the American problem where it cannot afford
to rely on a hemorrhaging Pakistani security system to fight jihadists on
Pakistani soil. Therefore, it is only reasonable to assume that Washington
will continue to work on the unilateral path while working with the
Pakistanis on the joint operations. In other words, the inherent problems
in the U.S.-Pakistani relationship remain as is.
Even if the Pakistani security system was not compromised, there is
another serious disconnect between the United States and the South Asian
country. Both Washington and Islamabad agree that there ultimately there
has to be a negotiated settlement with local Taliban forces and that there
are those that can never be reconciled. The problem is that there is a
disagreement on the definition of what constitutes reconcilable Taliban.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Clay Pell, the grandson of former U.S. Sen. Claiborne Pell is inaugurating his political career by making a run for Rhode Island governor. Part of the challenge of getting hired for the job -- as in any job -- is showing you have the right experience.
The issue came up during Pell's Feb. 2 appearance on the WPRI-TV WPRI-12 program "Newsmakers."
In response to a question from host Tim White about his lack of political experience, Pell argued that he has administrative experience, citing a previous post at the U.S. Department of Education.
White noted that, as governor, Pell would have to deal with an $8.5 billion-budget.
"What's the biggest budget you've ever managed?" White asked.
"The budget I managed at the Department of Education was more than $60 million," Pell said. "The International and World Language Education budget, which I oversaw, was more than $60 million."
PolitiFact Rhode Island examined Pell's claim and ruled it Mostly True.

Toyota RAV4 Extended Warranty
I'm about to purchase a Rav4 tomorrow and was wondering if I should get the extended warranty protection plan they push you to get? I got it on my Highlander and haven't used it, but I put lots of hard driving miles on it and know I will need it eventually. But the Rav4 will be for my daughter when she leaves for college in 3 years and then she'll be driving it 4+ more years. Dear old Dad will be driving it in the meantime, but it won't be accruing that many miles. Any advice? Thanks!

newfy2 Posts: 13I tried, but couldn't find anything about Toyota's. All I wanted to find out was if this would be a good deal for a car that would be older, but with low miles. And being a Toyota, better quality and reliability than the other makes. (hopefully) Need to know before Noon tomorrow. We are having t-storms and don't have time to search before getting knocked off. Thanks!
mexateck Posts: 9I hate to say it, but I would... but moreso out of paranoia than anything. Unfortunately, this vehicle (which is my second Toyota) does not at all live up to the reliability that it is generally stereotyped to have. Thus far I've had the following problems with my 2007 V6 4WD limited with ~7300 miles on the clock:
1) Display on the radio spazzes out and goes nuts at random
2) Knocking in the front end when making turns.
3) Transmission/throttle control trying to hunt for gears while cruise control is activated.
4) Clunking in the transmission when shifting to drive and when vehicle downshifts
5) At times, the vehicle bucks back and forth during normal operation and cruising at 50mph.
6) Ceiling falls down when driving with the sun roof open.
7) Fog lamps quit operating after 4K miles
8) Unexplained humming noise apparent after vehicle is first turned on.
9) Extreme throttle lag (which apparently is normal operation, but is extremely dangerous when attempting to make emergency maneuvers)
Considering the fact that I haven't even had this thing one year and it's given me this much grief, I don't see how it could make it to five years without something much more major going wrong.
Toyota is not the company that it was in the 90s. As I said, this is my second Toyota, with a 2000 Corolla being the other. Both have given me grief, while the two Hondas I had (01 Prelude and 05 RSX) didn't display such ridiculous behavior not once within a one year time frame. -
bigdadi118 Posts: 1,207You don't need to decide extended warranty when buying the new car. You have lots of time to shop around. The timing is buy it in 1 month before the standard warranty runs out.
Try google search : toyota extended warranty and you would find one with better discount. Dealer's bread & butter on financing, deal add-on options (rust proof, fabric protection), extended warranty, alarm & remote starters. -
andrelaplume Posts: 934I investigated and decided that the Toyota quality has continued to go down hill since I got my 02 Camry. There are whole threads on the topic on another website I can not mention here. Here are some deatils, call and find out for your self....I bought mine from this person.....I am not affiliated with him nor is he even in my state. He was reccomended in that other forum and after investigation he had the best price when I got one for our 06 RAV purchased new.
A friend tipped me off to Troy Dietrich of Toyota of Greenfield in Greenfield, MA. He offers Toyota's warranty heavily discounted. I purchased the above warranty for $805. I sent him a copy of my vehicle registration (to verify the VIN) and a statement indicating the current mileage. This warranty can be purchased anytime during the initial 3 yr / 36k period. BTW, one week later I received the official paperwork directly from Toyota, so it's all on the up-and-up!
Here's Troy's e-mail response to me when I first contacted him.
I am currently offering the Toyota Platinum 7 yr / 100,000 mile Extra Care plan w/ $0 deductible for $805.00 on the Rav4, which is the longest plan available in both years and mileage.
Most of the details on the Extra Care plans can be found directly at Toyota's website at the following link, including all the various terms and options available, just let me know if you would like a quote on a different plan. -

ajo2008 Posts: 1One year ago, my husband and I purchased a 2007 RAV 4 from a local Toyota dealership. At the same time, we also "purchased" what we thought was a Toyota-backed extended warranty. Just as a bit of a background, we were first-time car buyers and in a high-stress situation as my husband had nearly gotten killed in a car accident just a week before (that is why we were purchasing a new car) and I was 7 months pregnant at the time.
Just yesterday (more than one year later) we finally received the information on the warranty after asking the dealership for some kind of copy of the warranty agreement. We never had received anything from the dealership or from Toyota, and we thought it was a bit strange that we had absolutely no info on the warranty. Turns out that they had accidentally placed our copy in their files.
Well, lo and behold - it's not even a Toyota extended warranty! It's some kind of third-party agreement, and we never even signed the actual agreement (if we had seen this form, then we would've realized that it's not through Toyota).
Suffice it to say that I am extremely angry and feel that my husband and I were tricked and taken advantage of given our situation at the time.
What are our rights? We never agreed to this over-priced, "bogus" extended warranty, and we've been paying interest on it for a year now. Also, we will get charged a cancellation fee (and who knows what else) if we cancel it.
We did sign a general motor vehicle agreement form that states "Toyota service contract" and the price of the warranty contract. But we never signed the actual warranty agreement.
The person we dealt with was fired/quit.
What are our rights?!? Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. I want to be really prepared this time before talking with the finance manager about this mess.
Thank you, and apologies for the long post... -
andrelaplume Posts: 934many times these things have a buy back protection clause since the car comes with 3/36 anyway...its usually prorated. I would proceed to attempt to get you r $$$$ back and Buy a Toyota Platinum Plus zero deductible warranty. IT NEED NOT BE PURCHASED WHERE YOU BOUT THE CAR. Toyota of Greenfield (I think - Google it) was selling them at a great price. We bought a 7/100K warranty for around $700. The dealer originally wanted $1400! Good Luck.
tireguy Posts: 196I'm awiating delivery of a 4x4 v6 limited from Stevenson Toyota, Jacksonville NC. They provide an unlimited powertrain warranty with every new car. For $1600, you can get a lifetime bumper 2 bumper warranty. There is a $100 deductible. Sounds good to me. I still have a week or so to think it over. Can't buy it after I take delivery.
allg Posts: 3I got quotes from a few dealers for Platinum Coverage Extended warranty for my 2007 Rav4 (it is still under 3 yr 36,000 mile factory warranty) and every dealer's price is different.
Can I buy the coverage from an out of state dealer (specifically from some state which does not have a sales tax?) Does it cause any trouble while claiming warranty?
1. Is the warranty issued by Toyota?
2. how long do they take to send the coverage docs ?
3. Say after a couple of years just in case if my car is totaled, can i cancel the warranty and get the money back?
4. Is there any other details that I need to be aware of
I intend to take 7/75,000 platinum coverage with $0 deductible and the quotes range from $534 to $1,100. Toyota financial has the Retail price as $1,175. Since the minimum price is so vastly different from the highest price, I am wondering if it is too good to be true. I did verify the dealer who gave the cheapest price Midwest Toyota, KS is a Toyota Authorized dealer.
Thanks in adv for your opinions / suggestions. -
allg Posts: 3just an update .
for the extended warranty, All the dealer "Midwest Toyota" wanted was the vin # of the car and the number of miles driven. With the Vin# he was able to pull up my vehicles purchase date & etc.
I called up the dealer and paid the amount using the cr card, he said the warranty doc's will be sent to me directly from Toyota financial in 2 weeks time.
The plan that i took was Platinum Coverage with $0 deductible for 7yr / 75,000 miles. I think it is a grab for $534. (especially since the plan comes with roadside assistance, rental coverage & hotel accommodation & etc)
Will update the thread here once I get the documents from toyota. -
13toyotas Posts: 3I can get a great deal on a Certified used 2009 Pacific Blue Rav4 4-cyl base with 1205 miles on it.
Being certified, it comes with a 7 yr/100,000 mile power train warranty. The dealer offered me the Certified Platinum warranty that covers most of the car for 7 yr/100,000 miles, plus roadside assit., and rental car for $980. I've been told this protection goes for more than $1400.
Anyone have any input on this certified protection plan and if this is a good price? thanks -
texastrucker58 Posts: 2I think you could probably get a little bit better price from Midwest Toyota. You really don't have to buy it now, as you have until you reach 36 months, or 36000 miles. Im assuming that the 36 months is from the date of the original sale of the car. If you dont buy it within this time frame, you are out of luck.
disnee Posts: 2I read your message about Midwest Toyota. You have this [for real]Toyota warranty? Gateway Toyota, NJ gave me the following quote: 75,000mi @ $2000 for an extended warranty. How would I get in touch with Midwest Toyota?
These dealership people have me coming and going. Thrilled I decided to ck. out Edmunds.com and found your message/conversation.
Thanks for sharing and saving me $$$ -

disnee Posts: 2I spoke with some woman from Mid West Superstore yesterday [02-02-2010]
and I received a quote over $900.00 for 75, 000mi with zero deducible; yet, when I made my initial call in November the quote was much cheaper. Would mine sharing with me the name of your rep.? I am most interested in purchasing extended warranty insurance from a Toyota dealership; however, the quote I received yesterday has me re-thinking the warranty. -
bobwiley Posts: 241Folks--remember, when you buy a Toyota Extended Warranty on a new car, the warranty expiration date is the number of years you buy retroactive to the "in service" date of the vehicle. So if you bought a 7 year 100K mile warranty--in effect you're only getting 4 years--the first 3 years are "free" from Toyota. Wait until the car is about out of the mfg's warranty and then price the Toyota Extended Warranty remembering even though you buy the 7 yr 100K warranty you'll only really have 4 years. Still paying $900 for 4 years of warranty is a GREAT deal, I just got a 5 yr 60K mile extended warranty for my wifes 08 RAV4 Limited from our credit union for $1,000--it is Bumper 2 Bumper and started at 35K miles and goes to 85K miles or until 3 Feb 2015. If it were a Toyota Warranty it would have gone back to 8 Nov 07 when we bought the car. Good hunting!!

Now and Then
November 24, 2010 in World 016 News, World News
Hello readers. Sorry for the long delay, but I failed to get my blog out last week before I went on a trip to one of the few places left in the world with neither internet nor cell phone signal. Some may call it a myth, but it's there and I found it! Now for this week, a project that I've been thinking of for a while, looking back at the history of individual players throughout W16 who are still around today. Much to my surprise, part way through my work on gathering information, I received this very same suggestion from several readers as a possible topic, something that encouraged me to follow through with this idea.
For my interview this week, I chose three players who came to mind as having some interesting histories from what I knew. One was Adamjrose2, a player who I have been with from almost the beginning. Another was Macondude, a player starting with a humble beginning in the southeast and slowly working his way up. The last was Orel1, an outspoken player who may hold the record for most big accounts played as well as most major tribes that he was a part of at one time or another. Although starting in three separate corners of the world, their paths all lead them to their present home in C².
First is a short interview from Adam, who was kind enough to agree to do another with me.
Extra | SelectShow> |
Justin/Jurasu: Hi Adam. Thanks again for agreeing to do another interview with me. Adam / adamjrose2: My pleasure Justin. Justin/Jurasu: I'm looking back at player's histories to see what they went through on W16 to get where they are today. Where and when did you start W16? Adam / adamjrose2: I started in northeast K72, and as for when I would have to look it up. It was a long time ago. Justin/Jurasu: Do you recall what tribe you joined first? Adam / adamjrose2: I originally started because my friend Fug Nut (plays Lamarth now) got me into it. He had just joined and was in TIF, so I joined TIF within minutes of joining W16. Justin/Jurasu: Is that where you originally learned to play the game? Adam / adamjrose2: Yup, I learned the basics of the game in TIF, although I got many advanced courses once I joined C². Justin/Jurasu: Often times, players experience an event that sets them on a path they follow throughout the world. Can you think of any experience, or even experiences, that you think dramatically altered your course on W16? Adam / adamjrose2: It was probably during the TIF/C² war. I learned how real wars were fought and how much more I still needed to learn. Justin/Jurasu: So it acted as a real wake-up call for you? Adam / adamjrose2: It just introduced me to more of what TW is about. Justin/Jurasu: What do you attribute your success in this world to? Adam / adamjrose2: It was a lot of luck meeting the right players, both as allies and as enemies. Most of my closest friends in TW were at one point my enemies. Justin/Jurasu: Do you have any other funny or interesting events in your W16 career that you would like to share with the readers? Adam / adamjrose2: When dealing with the TIF merge into C², Fug Nut wanted to gift his villages only to former TIF members, and he had just killed one of Rag's noble trains at home. Rag wasn't super happy with the idea. Justin/Jurasu: That's all then. Thanks again for the interview Adam. |
Next is Macon, one half of the Robonot account.
Extra | SelectShow> |
Justin/Jurasu: Thanks for agreeing to do this interview with me. For the readers' benefit, would you please introduce yourself? George / macondude: Sure, my in game name is Robonot. The forum readers know me as Macondude, however. Justin/Jurasu: For this issue of the blog, I wanted to look back on the history of individual players who have been around for a long time in W16, and see what they went through to get where they are now. So do you remember where and when you first started on W16? George / macondude: Yep, I was in k69. However, I don't remember when. Justin/Jurasu: Did you start as Macondude? George / macondude: Yes. Justin/Jurasu: Do you remember what tribe you first joined? George / macondude: At first, I made my own tribe, "BOT". Then I joined a tribe called SEF, which I stayed in for a while. Justin/Jurasu: "BOT" didn't work out well? George / macondude: Nothing bad happened, I just got an offer to join a bigger, better tribe, and I took the chance. I did make sure that the recruits that were active came with me. Justin/Jurasu: Could you give me a brief lists of the tribes you went through, and what accounts you played on? George / macondude: Sure. I started in BOT, as Macondude. Then I joined SEF. Later, I joined =HRV= (which later merged with ~LS~ to form LSHRV). After the merger, I became friends with Robonot. He was offered the AxlTheCat account, and wanted me to start playing the Robonot account. A while after that, the C² war started and eventually I switched sides to join them. Justin/Jurasu: What made you decide to switch sides? George / macondude: I started talking to C²'s members more through the w16 skype chat, and got to know them more. I'd seen how they fought (as I sat frontline accounts at the start of the war) and, believe it or not, I knew some leadership in the old LSHRV that considered changing sides. A few friends helped convince me to change sides as well. Boredom played a large part in it as well. I had friends in C², and fewer and fewer in LSHRV. Justin/Jurasu: I would say that many people experience a major turning in their career that drastically alters the path they take in the game. Would you consider this to be one? George / macondude: Probably. I was so bored at one point that I thought I might quit the game. The move provided me with a lot of fun. Justin/Jurasu: Are there any other major events that acted as milestones in your W16 career? George / macondude: I would say the move to =HRV=, and switching to the Robonot account. Justin/Jurasu: Why were these two events especially important in your opinion? George / macondude: Moving to =HRV= sort of cemented my life in W16. It made sure that I wouldn't get eaten like many of the other players around me. It also provided me with other ways of growth and more networking opportunities. Moving to Robonot provided me with a larger account, and showed me what it was like having an account with a large front line during a fight was like. Justin/Jurasu: Are there any other interesting or funny events in your TW career that stand out in your mind? They may not be major events, but they may still be noteworthy to you. George / macondude: I remember my old tribe SEF being attacked by a few members from ~I~ and ~J~. That was interesting, as we were scrambling to get other tribes (such as *MK*) to attack them. Justin/Jurasu: How did you survive that experience? George / macondude: They never launched nobles at me. That, and I believe =HRV= declared war on them shortly afterwards (and the main person attacking us moved to them). I suppose the number of people telling me that I was a noob and going to get rimmed after I moved to C² was amusing as well. Justin/Jurasu: Do you have anything else you would like to add Macon? George / macondude: I can't think of much right now. I suppose that getting a co-play was a nice addition, and he tends to keep things interesting. Justin/Jurasu: He got his own special interview for this blog as well. George / macondude: Yeah, I remember that. Justin/Jurasu: If that is all, I thank you for your time Macon. George / macondude: Any time. |
Finally, we have Orel, the second half of the Robonot account.
Extra | SelectShow> |
Justin/Jurasu: Hello. Thank you for agreeing to do this interview with me. For the readers' benefit, would you please introduce yourself? Or-el: I'm Or-el, currently playing on the Robonot account in W16, and I coplay the account along with macondude. Justin/Jurasu: For this blog, I'm looking back at the history of W16, mainly the players and the paths they took to get where they are today. Where and when did you start W16? Or-el: It's been a while. Well, I began the world in northeastern K24 under the name "orel1″, around March of 2008 before I began the long trek that led me to my current and final home of C². Justin/Jurasu: Do you recall what tribe you joined first? Or-el: Well, not really, but with the help of my trusty twstats.com, I've found that my first tribe was *R*. Justin/Jurasu: Is that where you originally learned to play the game? Or-el: No, I actually only truly shed my noobish ways when I joined ORC, having come from the merge ORC had with ST. I then picked up skills along the way in ORC and tribes in W24 as well. Justin/Jurasu: Often times players experience one, or maybe more, major events that are defining moments in their game. Have you come across any in W16, and what would they have been? Or-el: I don't believe I've had any singularly defining moments in W16 history, though I can say that the closest to one would probably be the moment I quit under the u6s5l account. This was perhaps defining because it marked the height of my anger at the northern tribes, and was perhaps one of the few reasons I allowed myself to actually join C² at all, for I'd had no experience in the south of the world until that point. Justin/Jurasu: Personally, I know you went through several accounts and several tribes on this world, which is one of the main reasons I asked you to do this interview with me. Would you please briefly list off, in order, your accounts and the tribe you were a member of, and include anything you think important or interesting about each experience? Or-el: This doesn't include those I sat who were in enemy tribes, correct? Solely accounts I played? Justin/Jurasu: Correct. Or-el: Well, I played: orel1 – This was my first account, and I moved through *R* and other tribes until I reached ST, where I began to form friendships. ST then merged into ORC, where I left the account while learning to play more effectively. I had originally quit the world after the u6s5l account reached 20mil ODA, just as I promised. I just wanted to get the milestone, and then quit. After I quit, and the ex-ORC players went to Plight (the BANG!? split had occurred), however, I found myself yearning to be back among those in W16. Obviously, the most logical choice was to move to Plight along with the people I had once counted as friends. However, I realized that I held a lot of resentment towards those players at the time, because none had stepped up to defend me. So I decided to contact the only person I knew in C²'s council, which was adamjrose2, if I'm not mistaken. After speaking extensively to him, and after much questioning/discussion by their council, they deemed me fit to play in the tribe,and I joined C² as Stupsi. Shortly after I joined, however, I fell to near-inactivity due to a large amount of RL conflicts. I did my best to send out defense and nukes, but none of it was nearly as effective as it would've been had I actually been able to play. Nevertheless, not wanting to blow my chances with C², I persevered in playing as much as I could until I could no longer; as soon as C² found a new owner, I quit. By this point, I figured I'd blown my only chance to join a tribe that was GOOD. I enjoyed my time in C² more than my time in any other tribe, and I knew that they would go very far if they kept up their current pace (and so they have). So just as I resigned myself to being forced into resignation by a lack of return opportunities (I was unwilling to contact Plight, for I had learned of a few things in my absence that made my only remaining friend there, Gamecat, angry at the tribe), adamjrose2 contacted me at the same time as two other players. All three were in C², and all three offered me an account to play or coplay. I picked the one I thought needed the most help at the time, and I figured I'd be able to help one or two of the others that needed coplayers by sitting anyways (which I did). C² saw fit to give me another chance, and hopefully I haven't disappointed yet. 1) I'm terribly annoyed when the leadership is unstable and always shifting. I like to have a leadership that is clearly defined, works together, and knows its role. In that way, C² has been the most effective; each council member knows exactly what they do, how they do it, know how to play and analyze situations, and know how to effectively keep the tribe going. -BANG!?'s council arguing with me was hilarious. The sheer childishness of it and the fact that they let me troll them like that, despite knowing I planned to quit, was definitely one of the funnier moments I had. |
Thanks again to my three interviewees in agreeing to take the time to share their histories for this blog.
I hope everyone enjoyed reading this as much as I did. I plan to make a blog like this every month, spot lighting a few players each time. If anyone has any suggestions for players they feel may have an interesting history, please feel free to comment below or contact me in-game or on the PnP forums. Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how I can improve these articles, then again, please feel free to make your thoughts known in some way. I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing.
Thanks to all for reading again. Until next time, your W16 blogger and fellow spreader of carnage,
