House Judiciary Committee Approves Radio Performance Fee
Washington, DC - May 13, 2009 - The House Judiciary Committee passed H.R. 848, the Performance Rights Act, by a vote of 21 to 9. This bill will remove the exemption from paying a copyright performance fee on music that terrestrial radio stations currently enjoy.
Voting against the bill were House Judiciary Committee Members Maxine Waters (CA), Lamar Smith (TX), Howard Coble (NC), Dan Lungren (CA), Louie Gohmert (TX), Jim Jordan (OH), Ted Poe (TX), Jason Chaffetz (UT) and Gregg Harper (MS).
The NAB has been pushing opposing legislation. A bipartisan group of 192 House lawmakers already support the Local Radio Freedom Act. The Local Radio Freedom Act (H. Con. Res. 49) was introduced by Reps. Gene Green (TX) and Mike Conaway (TX). In March, an identical resolution was introduced in the Senate (S. Con. Res. 14) by Sens. Blanche Lincoln (AR) and John Barrasso (WY).
The bill passed by the House Judiciary Committee will be passed to the House for its next action.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Fluff!
Facts about Fluff
- Breed: Maine Coon
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Fluff's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Fluff is a stunning, probably Maine Cook mix. She is as beautiful inside as she is outside. She loves to play and is quite bonded with her sister, Tiger.
Other Pets at Save A Kitty, Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fluff, a Canyon Country Maine Coon kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maine Coon for sale in Canyon Country, or seeking a Maine Coon kitten from a breeder in Canyon Country.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Canyon Country already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Canyon Country breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Maine Coon breeders who help with Maine Coon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Canyon Country paves the way for another one to be saved.

I say Ca-RIB-bee-an because it is named for the Caribe Indians. I keep the B with the end of the 2nd syllable because that makes the pronunciation more like Caribe. If I pronounced it "Car-i-BEE-an," it would be like it's the Cari Indians.

Chowder Bay - Mosman
Named after the whalers who made chowder from the bay's abundant seafood, Chowder Bay is located on the southern side of Sydney's Middle Head peninsula.
Nestled between stunning harbourside frontage and a steep expanse of natural bushland, Chowder Bay is the perfect spot for a family-friendly day trip. Wander around the historic buildings or spend the afternoon swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, or bushwalking. You can hire everything you need for a day on the water from Plunge Diving.
Chowder Bay offers some lovely waterside eating options. Stop by Bacino Bar and Kiosk for coffee or a light meal or indulge in fine dining at Ripples Restaurant on the deck of the former Submarine Miner's Depot.
A great way to visit Chowder Bay is to incorporate it into a walk between Taronga Zoo and Balmoral Beach. The walking tracks offer spectacular harbour views and scenic bushland settings.

Many people look forward to Thanksgiving each year since it is a holiday where family and friends get to spend time together and have a great meal. While it is such an enjoyable holiday, it does take a lot of work to put together (and to clean up once it's over!). So, why not do something fun with your family and friends after all of the Thanksgiving work is over this weekend? We have a great suggestion for you!
The Kennedy Krieger Institute is holding its Festival of Trees once again this weekend from Friday, November 26 through Sunday, November 28. The Festival of Trees will be held at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium from 10am to 9pm on Friday and Saturday and from 10am to 6pm on Sunday. This is truly an event that is enjoyable to people of all ages because there are so many different fun things to see and do. For children, there are carousel rides, train rides, "reindeer' pony rides, a train garden, face painting, different craft activities, and also a meet and greet with Santa Claus himself! There are also a large number of performances that will be taking place, like magic shows, celebrity book readings, dancers, musicians, and comedians. For a schedule of all of the performances that will be taking place, click here. For those of you who love to shop, there will also be an extensive list of vendors present along with silent auctions where you will be able to purchase all types of goodies. If you would like to see a full list of vendors, click here.
The festival costs $10 for adults, $5 for senior citizens and children between the ages of 5-12, and is free for children 4 and under. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or you can save $2 off the regular adult price of $10 if you order online here. The best part about Kennedy Krieger Institute's Festival of Trees, though, is that while you and your family are having fun at the festival, you are also helping a great organization since proceeds from this event benefit the children and families of the Kennedy Krieger Institute. So, after this Thanksgiving, come unwind and have a great time with your friends and family at this fun festival while supporting a wonderful cause!

A few of my container citrus trees have lots of ants in the soil, when I water, they come up. Is there any harm to the tree if I let them be? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Tue, Jul 19, 11 at 14:31
Well, where there are ants, so there are aphids :-) I would not want ants in my container tree, especially if you're over-wintering inside. Put out bait traps for the ants (Borax), and give your citrus a very good high pressure hosing off, focusing in on the newest flush and flowers, to remove any aphids. It is a bit of a fallacy that ants are good pollenators. They're not. Bees, butterflies, moths and even birds do a much better job. Ditch the ants. Patty S. |
I'll put out some traps. These containers stay outdoors year round. Thanks, |
Actually, ants and aphids aren't always partners. In other words, you can have a colony of ants in your containers and not have any aphids at all. And vice versa. It's also interesting to note that there are some plants are pollinated nicely by ants, though it's not that common. Check out your Sweet Alyssum, if you have any. But I agree that we do not want them setting up housekeeping in our containerized plants. They can create large air spaces around the root system, causing root dessication. Some ants will nibble on flower nectaries to get the sweet substance via a short-cut. This can harm the flower's chance at fruit formation. We also can't ignore the fact that some ants will sting, too. Some ants will protect aphids and scale insects from natural predators, that is certainly true. If you use the Boric acid ant bait traps, be sure to put them where nothing else can get to them. The ants need to have access in and out, but they need to placed where animals or children can't touch them. |
To go completely pesticide-free in warding ants, I keep water filled in a deep catch tray that I place potted plants in. The pot is raised above the water line using pot feet (don't let water touch bottom of pot!). I've kept my orchids (and now IML) completely ant and scale-free for years with this method. There's a picture posted in the start to my thread a couple lines down titled "Meyer lemon tree in 511 - any successes?" if you'd care for a look. |
Tim, do you put a few drops of dish soap in your water moat? I've seen ants float across water unless that dish soap was in there. |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Jul 19, 11 at 22:56
Rhizo...That is so true. I have actually seen them float across my pond in ant made canoes! Lol. No kidding, I watch them fall in and find a way to get to the other side before my fish and frog grab them..lol:-0))) I would keep them off my trees for sure. Good luck Mike |
Hi rhizo. The dish soap is a great idea (I'll have to gave it a try!), but no, I usually just fill with water which won't need topping off again for a couple of months. I find that as long as there are no ants in the pot to begin with, and given that the saucer is a large enough diameter, the ants really don't find great need to explore the (container) island. Just make sure that no ants to start are in the pot and that the plant otherwise does not touch the mainland (side of a wall, etc.) and you'll be ant- and scale-free! |
- Posted by laidbackdood auck NZ (My Page) on Fri, Jul 29, 11 at 7:48
Ants can swim! I have been using the pot on pot feet with big saucer full of water for ages and the ants come and go as they please! I have seen them swim the short distance over to the feet.However,I finally got them beat....spread vasaline around the lip of the saucer...they wont climb over that...to sticky for them and they dont want to get their feet dirty LOL |
The vasoline comes with its own problems. Beneficial critters can come into contact with it, for example. That's why the few drops of dish soap is so helpful. The ants will sink to the bottom like they're "swimmin' with da fishes", their little feet weighted down with cement. |
- Posted by laidbackdood auck NZ (My Page) on Sat, Jul 30, 11 at 9:48
Nice one rhizo i will try that then! do you need to lather it up a bit or just pour a drop or two of dishwashing liquid in it? |
A drop or two is all that is needed. What soap does is reduce the surface tension of water, allowing the ant to break through the surface of water, rather than float on it. |

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Moses climbed from the Plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, the peak of Pisgah facing Jericho. God showed him all the land from Gilead to Dan, | 1 Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the LORD showed him the whole land--from Gilead to Dan, |
2 all Naphtali, Ephraim, and Manasseh; all Judah reaching to the Mediterranean Sea; | 2 all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the western sea, |
3 the Negev and the plains which encircle Jericho, City of Palms, as far south as Zoar. | 3 the Negev and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. |
4 Then and there God said to him, "This is the land I promised to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with the words 'I will give it to your descendants.' I've let you see it with your own eyes. There it is. But you're not going to go in." | 4 Then the LORD said to him, "This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it." |
5 Moses died there in the land of Moab, Moses the servant of God, just as God said. | 5 And Moses the servant of the LORD died there in Moab, as the LORD had said. |
6 God buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor. No one knows his burial site to this very day. | 6 He buried him in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is. |
7 Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eyesight was sharp; he still walked with a spring in his step. | 7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. |
8 The People of Israel wept for Moses in the Plains of Moab thirty days. Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end. | 8 The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over. |
9 Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. The People of Israel listened obediently to him and did the same as when God had commanded Moses. | 9 Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the LORD had commanded Moses. |
10 No prophet has risen since in Israel like Moses, whom God knew face-to-face. | 10 Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, |
11 Never since has there been anything like the signs and miracle-wonders that God sent him to do in Egypt, to Pharaoh, to all his servants, and to all his land | 11 who did all those miraculous signs and wonders the LORD sent him to do in Egypt--to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. |
12 - nothing to compare with that all-powerful hand of his and all the great and terrible things Moses did as every eye in Israel watched. | 12 For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel. |

I have an old home that is shifting. Our porch has cracks in it as does along the stair and base. The cracks are about an 1/8 "
I want to seal them before the winter so the cracks dont spread. any ideas? thanks |

Butyl rubber caulk. This is what I Googled, "caulk for concrete and brick" |
If you can find gray polyurethane caulk it is way better then butyl. It also costs more. |

Nothing is going to work for long if you don't fix the problem of shifting. The cracks will keep getting bigger and anything you put in them will fail. |

Vaccarino V et al. - Women largely share similar cardiovascular risk factors for ischaemic heart disease (IHD) with men; however, women with suspected or confirmed IHD have less coronary atherosclerosis than men, even though they are older and have more cardiovascular risk factors than men.
- Coronary endothelial dysfunction and microvascular disease have been proposed as important determinants in the aetiology and prognosis of IHD in women, but research is limited on whether sex differences in these mechanisms truly exist.
- Differences in the epidemiology of IHD between women and men remain largely unexplained, as it still remains a question as to why women are protected towards IHD until older age compared with men.
- A better understanding of the processes and mechanisms may improve the prevention and the clinical management of IHD in women.

When a traditional NFL scout rolls the film of Alec Ogletree's games, he'll probably become quickly upset. Ogletree, an inside linebacker in Georgia's 3-4 defense, is somewhat allergic to physicality.
He's not particularly fond of offensive linemen combination blocking him at the second level, which is evident by his reluctance to use his hands to avoid the blocks. At times, he'll just stand and get blocked out of the play. Just watch the SEC Championship game against Alabama. On some running downs, it's like he wasn't even playing as he's moved out of middle of the field like a truck cleaning a snowy road.
Yet some consider him the top inside linebacker in this class. He's probably not for some scouts, such as the aforementioned traditionalists. They're looking for a certain toughness, a specific physicality, and most importantly, an all-in willingness to defend the run. He'll have to bring all three traits to the pros if he plans on making a living playing football.
Technique (or a lack thereof) like the following can't happen as often as tit did in college. When the play starts, quarterback A.J. McCarron hands the ball off to running back T.J. Yeldon to the left. On the back-side of the play, Ogletree is met by tight end Michael Williams, who is one of the best blocking tight ends in the draft.
When Williams nears him, Ogletree doesn't raise his hands, instead giving his inside shoulder up. By doing that he offers the tight end an opportunity to kick him wide of the ball-carrier, who now makes a jump-cut in the linebacker's direction.
Realizing that Yeldon is coming his way, Ogletree stands up, finally raises his hands, and disengages from the block. He easily does this with his athleticism and quickness, which are superior to every linebacker's in the draft, but he still misses the tackle. If he would have used his hands when he first met Williams, perhaps he could have eluded the block and made a stop at or behind the line of scrimmage.
Many will have concerns with Ogletree's lack of physicality. He's not quite lacking it, however; he's just lacking the willingness to be consistently physical.
There are times when he uses his hands to avoid trash at his feet or defeat single blocks and make a stop — he just doesn't do it nearly enough. When he has a clear path to the ball-carrier and isn't out of control (he needs to improve his discipline), he covers ground at an absurd speed and finishes violently.
What makes him a top-tier prospect is his speed. He has range unlike any other linebacker that has come into the league over the years. He has the straight-line speed to make up for any mistakes in reading his keys or when his teammates misread theirs. He bailed out his teammates on occasion by unfathomably catching up to and tackling ball-carriers a dozen yards downfield when he's on the opposite end of the field. What looks to be a sure first down can easily become fourth down when Ogletree is in pursuit.
Now what he has to do is use that speed and the previously noted quickness to beat heavy-footed, pulling guards and tight ends.
In recent years, prospects such as Derrick Johnson, Sean Weatherspoon, and Zach Brown have come out of the draft as one-dimensional linebackers with great speed and quickness, but they lack the physicality or girth to defend the run. In Weatherspoon and Brown's cases, they went to a 4-3 team and have been protected up front by one and three techniques. However, Johnson was forced to take on guards in the Chiefs' two-gap, 3-4 defense.
Today, Johnson is one of the best inside linebackers in the game. How? He used his quickness and speed to work around offensive linemen or lower his pads more than they do theirs. That's what Ogletree needs to do when he gets to the NFL. He just needs to be more willing to do it, unlike he was in college.
Will he? Nobody knows. That's why the criticisms of his run defense are 100 percent valid. However, one should also keep in mind that he can improve, like Derrick Johnson did.

Hospital's breast cancer treatment targets cancer, protects the heart
New Britain [June 03 2013] -
The Hospital of Central Connecticut (HOCC) is one of few area hospitals offering prone radiation therapy that treats breast cancer confined to the left breast while sparing and protecting the heart from radiation.
While radiation therapy has proven beneficial for some forms of breast cancer, such treatment to the left breast can increase heart disease risk.
That risk is reduced to zero with prone radiation therapy, a technique that emits no radiation to the heart and lungs during treatment and is appropriate for patients with primary left-side cancer, namely cancer that hasn't spread beyond the breast.
"Coronary artery disease typically shows up 10 to 20 years after radiation therapy," says Neal Goldberg, M.D., HOCC's chief of Radiation Oncology. "This is significant because many patients with primary breast cancer are cured and live a normal lifespan."
More than 20 patients have been treated at HOCC using prone radiation therapy since it became available at HOCC in 2010. During treatment a patient lies on the stomach vs. back. Aside from a different table top where the patient lies, prone radiation does not require special equipment. It does require some extra training for radiation therapy team members.
Doctors have known for years that breast cancer patients treated with radiation therapy while lying on their backs are at higher risk for coronary artery disease, Goldberg says.
Results of a study published in the March New England Journal of Medicine were more specific. According to the study, a 50-year-old woman with no cardiovascular risk factors has a 1.9 percent chance of dying of heart disease before age 80. Depending on how much radiation hits the heart, breast cancer radiation treatment increases that risk 2.4 percent to 3.4 percent. Researchers emphasized that the benefits of radiation therapy for breast cancer outweigh the risk of heart disease.
Goldberg agrees, but notes that with the prone technique the risk of heart disease resulting from radiation therapy falls to zero.
"Having the ability to provide effective radiation therapy in the prone position while sparing the heart is a wonderful advance for women with left-sided breast cancer," says cardiologist Heather Swales, M.D., director of the hospital's Women's Heart Wellness Center. Chest radiation treatment, particularly on the left side, she says, can damage lining of blood vessels that supply the heart and to the heart itself, leading to coronary artery disease, which can lead to heart attack.
Swales notes that women who have had radiation therapy to the chest should be particularly attentive to changeable risk factors that lead to coronary artery disease, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking.

Hints & Tips

Columns |
Never arrive at a restaurant hungry! Hungry people make bad ordering decisions. Eat an apple before you go out to dinner to help control your hunger. Savor your food rather than stuff yourself. By eating a little of the food you really love, keeps you from feeling deprived and makes you a happier person. Do not eat anything on your plate that you do not like! You do not have to clean your plate! Try to never finish everything on your place. Do your best to leave 1/2 of the food on your place. Either take the rest home or let someone else at the table eat it. Alcoholic Beverages - Alcohol can stimulate your appetite. Plus the calories (almost 200 calories per ounce) in alcohol can add up fast. Order a glass of wine and sip slowly on it through your dinner. Drink lots of water as your eat to quench your thirst and help you nurse your alcohol drink.
Eat the higher protein foods such as eggs, bacon, sausage, and ham. Soak up the extra grease on your plate or the entree with a paper towel or napkin. Breads: If you need some carbs, go for a slice or two of whole grain or rye toast. If you have only biscuits to choose from, eat half the biscuit. Fruits: As most buffets have fruit, choose the apples, pears, grapefruits, strawberries, and/or blueberries because they are lower in sugar. Avoid fruit juices because they are filled with excess sugar, calories, and sodium.
Coffee: Use only a little bit of real
sugar in your coffee and if you have to,
use a very little bit of creamer. Eating Lunches and Dinner Out Rule 1: Eat something healthy a short time before going out to a restaurant. If you arrive at the restaurant hungry, you'll be more inclined to overeat. Rule 2: Eat slowly and savor each bit. Enjoy the conversation at the table. Put your knife and fork down between bites. Don't pick it up again until you've completely swallowed the last bite - allow your body time to digest. Rule 3: Be the first to order at the table - This way you won't be tempted by what others order. Tip: Order from the appetizer menu. The appetizer plates are smaller than the dinner plates and you will eat less. If you are still hungry, order a side salad to help fill your tummy. Beware: Portion sizes in restaurants can be more than you need. If you receive too large a portion, eat only half. When you feel full, stop eating. You do not need to finish your meal. Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to eat it! Ask for a takeout box or doggy bag, and take it home for another meal. Keep your portions under control when you are out to eat. Try to never eat until full, but only satisfied! Drink Water: Good ways to avoid sugar-filled drinks is to get water and/or unsweetened tea. Drink a lot of water before your meals to make you fuller and less likely to eat too much. Alcoholic Drink: If possible, avoid alcoholic drinks as they are high in calories. If you want an alcoholic beverage, stick to moderation. That means, in general, one (1) drink a day for women, two (2) drinks a day for men. Start with Soup or alad: Filling your empty stomach with soup or salad before a meal is a good way to keep you from bingeing on your entrée later. Be selective. A clear, broth-based soup with vegetables is particularly good as an appetizer because soups in general tends to decrease your appetite. Most soups are low in calories and will fill you up, so you eat less. Soup takes a long time to eat, its filling, its low calorie, and it's good for you. Salads: A garden salad also helps hold you over until your entrée arrives. When you order a salad, go for the vinaigrette dressings or your own oil and vinegar dressing. Most restaurant carry a low-fat dressing. You can ask for dressings to be served separately or on the side, and dip your fork lightly in the dressing to eat with each bite. This way, you have control over how much or how little you add. Beware of the chicken Caesar salad, as it is often higher in fat and calories than a cheeseburger.
Appetizers: Healthy appetizers would be shrimp cocktail without crackers, stuffed
mushrooms, or a few broiled or baked chicken wings with a little hot sauce.
Main Entrée: When out to eat, usually the more expensive the steak, the less fat it contains. Avoid anything with "fried" or "creamy" in the name. They're a quick way to double the fat, calories, and even carbohydrates (especially from breading). Order grilled, broiled, baked, or boiled. Trim visible fat off meat and poultry. Remember, a 3-ounce portion of meat is about the size of the palm of your hand.

An alliance is rarely a match made in heaven. Misunderstandings, compromises and disagreements are natural. Developing methods for clear communication and conflict resolution will put you on the path to creating an enduring partnership.
Early on, establishing key objectives and goals that reflect what both parties expect to gain from the alliance is critical. Clearly outline your objectives. Be sure they are realistic based on the amount of resources both parties are willing to put forth, and make adjustments as necessary. When Liquid Audio first entered into an alliance with BMG Entertainment, the parties developed grand plans--one involving software bundling--that needed to be brought back down to earth. "We didn't want to create expectations that were too difficult to meet," says Flynn, "so we scaled things back to make sure what we were trying to accomplish was possible."
Disappointments and misunderstandings can be avoided by establishing an effective process for working with your partner. Assess each company's strengths, and define responsibilities along these lines--especially in the area of management. Many alliances fail because of poor management relationships, so clearly document what's expected.
Also consider all the accounting, tax and legal ramifications of the alliance. Form a game plan for how the alliance will operate from the beginning to the end of the relationship.
Strike a balance. Nothing sours an alliance faster than the notion that one party is giving everything while the other is getting a free ride. "I think both sides have to feel as if they're being treated fairly," says Flynn. "In some strategic relationships we've developed, there was the feeling we were getting everything we wanted, but we had to give up so much in return that we didn't necessarily feel good about the partnership."
This is particularly important when forming an alliance with a large firm. For example, when Liquid Audio began its relationship with Microsoft, it wanted to make sure its needs were considered. "Microsoft is a huge company that puts fear into some people's hearts, and when we negotiated the relationship with them, we wanted to make sure we didn't feel we were giving too much away," Flynn says. "So we kept renegotiating the deal until there was equal consideration. For everything we're giving them, they're giving back."
You need to keep the lines of communication open. McAfee, for instance, receives weekly sales reports from Macy's store managers and talks with senior management at Macy's headquarters each month to discuss important issues. The relationship must be developed to the point where both parties can be honest, regularly evaluate progress and offer recommendations for improvement. Moreover, when there are disagreements, resolve them as quickly as possible. Spekman says it's best to meet in neutral territory where both parties can speak openly and honestly. Then, focus on solutions rather than placing blame.
As is true of any good relationship, you can't measure an alliance's success by one incident or moment. The measure of any successful alliance is what you gain from the relationship over time.

Subject: Used Truck Purchase for New Steamer
We have finally taken possession of our new 2012 vapor steamer unit. This unit was purchased as a backup to our existing steamer unit which frequently cannot keep up with the workload that it is needed to be performed. We also found out last year how the community suffers when our only steamer breaks down as spring arrives.
This unit was intended to serve as a back up to our existing truck mounted unit. Public Works does not have a truck in which to mount the new steamer unit to allow it to be used. Based on the type of winter that we have had (extreme glaciation), and warnings that Homer should expect more winter rain and ice formation in ditches and culverts, a second truck mounted unit will be a great asset to the community.
Our existing unit is mainly used for fire hydrant steaming/thawing (preventative maintenance on the 370 hydrants on the system). To keep these hydrants from freezing and breaking our program includes the steaming/thawing of these (3) times each during the winter months. This is a full time job during the winter. Our steamer also is needed and used for thawing culverts and drainages and also thawing frozen water and/or sewer services which precludes it from fire hydrant steaming.
With our ever expanding infrastructure it would be of great benefit to City residents and this department to have two mobile steaming/thawing units available for use.
We have researched the availability of a used truck for this purpose and have not found a suitable one in the state of Alaska. We have identified several units in the lower 48 and one being in the Seattle area @ $27,500. Below is a proposed budget for the purchase of a used truck and associated needed appurtenances.
1. Used truck purchase $30,000.00
2. Freight to Alaska (est) 5,000.00
3. Fabricated 750-900 gal water tank 2,500.00
4. Side door purchase/install 1,500.00
5. Insulate/sheet interior 2,500.00
6. Work lights (interior & exterior) 300.00
7. Heat (interior) 500.00
8. Strobe light 150.00
Estimated Total Budget $42,450.00
The City Council pass an ordinance amending the 2013 budget to authorize the purchase of a truck and appurtenances as described above. As this equipment is used for both general fund and water/wastewater fund work, the Council should fund this purchase equally from the PW Fleet Reserve Fund, Water Reserve Fund & Sewer Reserve Fund @ 1/3 each.
• PW Reserve Fund 152-383 $14,150.00
• Water Reserve Fund 256-378 $14,150.00
• Sewer Reserve Fund 256-379 $14,150.00

Ford Explorer Maintenance and Repair
rphelan Posts: 32003 Explorer bigger V6, 86k miles.
for a few months now, we've noticed that there's a rattling noise coming from the engine area when we are stopped and in drive. The noise stops when we shift to neutral or park... but resumes when we move the gear back to drive...
also, something that just developed is severe oversteer (I guess that's the appropriate word). At speeds above 45mph, if we just move the steering wheel a little left or right, it feels like the truck will go out of control.
it's at the dealer right now ( we have 100k warranty).. but they're saying they're not hearing the rattling noise - i'll have to make sure they do b/c if it's the tranny, they need to replace it. -
electricdesign Posts: 680
electricdesign Posts: 680#1 - I assume the rattle goes away or lessens as you drive down the road. Does it sound like tin rattling? If so, there is a loose part that is vibrating, most likely a loose heat shield somewhere on the exhaust system. Loose heat shields on the cat converters are common. You can get them spot welded back on at any muffler shop, or you can tightly tie a stiff wire around the part to keep it from rattling (coat hanger wire is good for this, but the welding is a much better and permanent repair).
#2 - The steering problem sounds dangerous, any front end shop or alignment shop should be able to figure out what the problem is. It could be ball joints, bushings or steering components. You did not mention if it is 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. -

Thanks for the all the input that made me a better shade tree mechanic for my Explorer. After an initial rocky start the Explorer became a very reliable, family workhorse. It is in great shape so I have no problem selling it to a neighbor. It certainly does not qualify for the new Clunker Program.

falkfam Posts: 2I hope someone can help me out. I am new and have never posted before. To start out I recently took off and cleaned the idle air control valve, because my car is making a horrible groaning/gurgling loud sound, and also intermidently idling ruff. I thought it helped at first but now the sound is worse than ever. I am going to order a new iac, and put it on for this problem. In the process of trying to get this fixed my car has started making a clanking/tapping sound in what seems to be the bottom area of the engine. Only when the AC is running. Not when just the blower is on, but the actual AC has to be on for the noise to start. It is constant, and loud. I got under the car and it sounds loudest at the bottom/back area of the engine. When I turn off the AC it stops. I still hear that groaning sound although it is much worse when the ac is on also. Could it be a pulley, or belt? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I have had it diagnosed (read the code) which indicated a fuel injection issue which I was told could mean a fuel injection head is clogged.

dobbsa Posts: 3I have a 1998 Ford Explorer. The A/C works fine at idle up to moderate speeds. Once it is at highway speeds, then the A/C turns warm. When I slow down the A/C gets cold again.
I don't know if this is a vacuum leak under the hood somewhere, or if it is the under the dash door problem. Any help appreciated! -
electricdesign Posts: 680
electricdesign Posts: 680
electricdesign Posts: 680If the AC loses control system vacuum, in AC mode the interior discharge air will be diverted from the dash vents, and the cold air will blow out of the defrost discharge vents and/or the heater discharge vents. Check to be sure that the interior discharge air is blowing out at some point inside the vehicle. Look and observe if the air blowing out in the wrong place is what is happening in your case. If so, the vacuum could be lost at a connection under the hood or under the dash. Sometimes this vacuum leak can be heard as a hissing sound. I would listen for it while you are driving.
If the above conditions do not apply to your situation. then you may be losing cooling for some other reasons, which could be many. First check to be sure the AC system has the correct refrigerant charge, and check that the refrigerant pressures are correct under all operating conditions. Also check to be sure the condenser coil in front of the radiator is clean and unrestricted, and that the Condenser fan works correctly, pulling plenty of air through the condenser coil. If the refrigerant pressures are found tro be incorrect, they will reveal where the problem lies, as diagnosed by a knowledgable mechanic. -

electricdesign Posts: 680There is no easy way to replace the instrument cluster incandescent light bulbs. The entire instrument cluster must be removed, not an easy job, requires care and patience.
Once the instrument cluster is removed, I would recommend that you replace ALL the incandescent light bulbs, because it is too much trouble to remove the instrument cluster every time an incandescent bulb burns out.
They should have made those lights out of LED's. -

jsnyde45 Posts: 1Ok so I have many problem with this vehicle. First the back hatch is
Busted so it won't open or close. This presents a problem because it will not
Shut all the way leaving the door ajar and my interior lights on for half the night
Which obviously drains the battery. Second my security system is all messed up.
My four ways go off for no apparent reason which is s battery drain also, in order
To start the vehicle I need to turn the key like four times to disarm the system.
This is all killing my battery. My brake lights don't work but I still have turn signals
Among other things these are my most serious problems help please! -
jazzyman26 Posts: 18
askdon Posts: 1This maybe the resolution. Thought it might be the switch on the dash which controls the ac and heat and changed it out and that didnt solve it. So, then next thing I tried , I checked the blower motor on the passenger side firewall, underneath the hood and I pulled off the plug to the blower motor to see if it was corroaded and it was not. Then I used a tester to check to see if there was any power to the plug that plugs into the blower motor. There was power in all the positions for your ac and defrost etc. it had power and I turn it to off and it went off. At that time I knew that it wasnt the switch on the dash, and I plugged it back in the blower motor, becareful not to bend the prongs on the motor where the plug snaps in. SO I assumed then that the blower motor may be seized and I tapped on the blower motor and then everything worked. Solved the problem of not any blowing air through the vents. The blower motor may need to be replaced in the future because of corrosion inside. Can swap out the motor at a junk yard.
mitch2225 Posts: 1I have a 2000 Ford Explorer with a 4.0 Liter V6. The engine has approximately 145,000 miles on it. I have had no major problems with the engine until now. I was entering the interstate one day and the engine had no power. The check gauges light came on immediately. I was able to limp it home at about 10 miles an hour. The sound from the engine sounded loud and metallic. When I start the Explorer now it runs and shift like a dream. Even sounds perfect. After about 10 minutes of warming up I start to hear a fast ticking sound. Its quiet and power is normal. Then the check gauge light comes on and the ticking grows in sound and speed. The sound comes directly from the top on the engine. There is plenty of oil but it is very black. When I hit the gas the ticking sound comes on stronger and for a second or two the ticking sounds like it winds down when I release the gas. Can anyone give me an idea of whats going on? I would like to keep this vehicle but I need a place to start on fixing it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
electricdesign Posts: 680First things first: Go get the engine light read at Autozone of local Auto parts store, They do that for free. Write down the code number(s) They are usually referred to DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) stored in the computer memory, They will give you a CLUE as what to look for. Sounds like your problem could be in the valve train, Hydrualic Tappets, Rocker Arms, Push Rods, camshaft or timing chain.
Your Oil is too Black, How long did it take to get so black? Change oil and filter right away and monitor it closely. You might need a heavier weight oil or oil additive. Change it every 3000 miles, or sooner if it gets very black. To investigate the noise, you would need to remove the valve covers and check everything you see in there. Rock the engine crankshaft back and forth a little to check to see how much slack there is in the timing chain, Run the engine at idle with the valve covers off and observe to be sure that there is good oil flow to all moving parts, and listen for where the noise is coming from.
Good Luck,
E.D. in Sunny Florida

OMAR SOSA By MARIE ELSIE ST. LÉGER Published April 19, 2006 AyagunaOta/Harmonia Mundi
On 2001's Sentir, his Grammy-nominated album, the pianist and composer Omar Sosa wound his way through the traditional sounds of his native Cuba, as well as North Africa and South America, to create a web tightly enveloped around the listener. This time out Sosa engages in percussive conversations with his longtime onstage collaborator, fellow Cuban and percussionist Gustavo Ovalles. In this live performance, captured in July 2002 at Yokohama (Japan's Motion Blue club), the pair weaves intricate melodic and rhythmic patterns with astounding ease. Whether exploring turn-of-the-century danzón (a fusion of European and traditional Cuban dances, contradanza and the danza) on "Toridanzón," or paying homage to an ancient deity on "Africa Madre Viva," Sosa and Ovalles speak as one, turning up the heat on "Eleggua In The Road," offering a somber reverie on "Black Reflection," wrestling with emotional turmoil on "My Three Notes." While honoring their culture and religion, Sosa and Ovalles are never glib, inviting their audience to embark on the nearly wordless journey through an ever-intricate musical web. It's quite a feat, challenging and engaging the listener. Omar Sosa succeeds in doing both once again.

"Plans to ban the pint glass from pubs throughout the Highlands of Scotland have sparked outrage. The traditional vessel is already outlawed in nightclubs in the Highlands, which are forced to serve all drinks – including champagne, cocktails and the finest malt whiskies – in plastic containers after 9pm because of police fears over potential injury." The Highland Licensing Board is now proposing to extend the scheme further, against objections from pub owners as well as critics of the Nanny State generally. [Telegraph]

In British usage, to be "glassed" is to have a drinking glass or bottle crushed against your face or to have an already broken glass shoved into your face. The results are lacerations, bleeding, disfigurement and blindness. According to the Manchester Evening News, there are approximately 5,000 such attacks in the UK each year. Such mayhem is obviously illegal, but would the legal consequences deter a thug who acts on impulse while intoxicated?

In addition to the required core course in Global Economies and Markets, there are numerous elective opportunities for students to develop a deeper global awareness and mindset. These range from courses on strategy at the intersection of Eastern and Western business cultures to those on how business plays a role in the creation of opportunity and growth in emerging economies.
This course emphasizes the development of technical skills that enable students to improve their understanding of global financial markets including the key drivers of movements in currency, interest rates, and other financial markets around the world, as well as the important institutions and players that affect those markets.
This course explores audacious innovations in business and markets as viable tools in promoting human development and transforming societies. Students will create products, services, business methods, financial instruments, and/or market-based systems that address the socioeconomic and structural challenges faced by the underserved and disadvantaged. The course consists of one-on-one consultations, field work and class sessions.
This course is targeted at students who want to work outside of the United States in highly globalized industries or in positions where they will be responsible for the evaluation of investment opportunities across a diverse set of countries. The course explores the relationship between firms that operate internationally and economic development and focuses on the pursuit of continued economic development as the fundamental force driving change in the international business environment.
As economies and businesses become more global, companies worldwide will increasingly need to examine their economic practices and beliefs. The purpose of this seminar is to help participants develop a deep understanding of the strategic concepts and business models underlying foreign (in this case, Chinese) business; use this understanding to think broadly about global enterprise and future enterprise development; and develop a globally integrative perspective that enables them to conduct business in any part of the world.
