My 9 month old high end Samsung dryer broke down again for the 3rd time this past week. Dryer guy came out and replaced the same board that keeps going bad but this time it seems the dryer overloaded and burned out the dryer plug and 4 prong receptacle and it's up to me to replace that (don't get me started on the Samsung warranty folks).
So, we checked the panel and the wiring there is fine. He told me to remove the old receptacle, strip back 8 inches of wire and start there to add the new receptacle. Issue is, I don't have 8 inches of wire to pull through the wall. My question is can I cut back the existing 10-3 wire, run it into a box and then pigtail in a new length (3 or 4 feet + a little extra) of wire to where the outlet currently sits OR do I (or, in my case, the electrician I hire) have to start new at the panel and run new 10-3 all the way to the laundry room? Thanks. Robert |
Follow-Up Postings:
How did the receptacle get damaged? Any current generating enough heat the damage the receptacle should have tripped the breaker. Nothing that you plug into an outlet should damage the branch wiring in your home. As for running a length of wire, you can use a junction box provided it remains accessible. You can't bury the box behind drywall etc. Really though, if part of the wire got hot enough to be damaged, I'd just replace the whole run back to the panel. Overall, I wouldn't trust the "dryer guy" for electrical advice. Get a qualified electrician out there asap. |

There's something odd going on. A dryer that blows out 3 controller boards in 9 months plus a receptical burning out smells of a wiring problem of some sort. Was the dryer set up for 4-wire or 3-wire? |
A loose connection in the plug could have caused the overheating. |

A junction box can be used, but it needs to be accessible. Double check all wiring for anything odd. |

Pablo Neruda
Neftali Ricardo Reyes, whose pseudonym was to be Pablo Neruda, was born in Parral, Chile, in 1904. He grew up in the pioneer town of Temuco, briefly encountering Gabriela Mistral, who taught there for a time. In 1920 he went to Santiago to study, and the following year published his first collection of poetry, La Cancion de la Fiesta. A second collection, Crepusculario, brought him critical recognition; and in 1924 the hugely successful Veinte Poemas de Amor y una Cancion Desesperada appeared. From 1927 to 1943, Neruda lived abroad, serving as a diplomat in Rangoon, Colombo, Batavia, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, and Mexico City. This is the period that saw the publication of the first two volumes of his celebrated Residencia en la Tierra. He joined the Communist Party of Chile after World War II, was prosecuted as a subversive, and began an exile that took him to Russia, Eastern Europe, and China. Already the most renowned Latin American poet of his time, he returned to Chile in 1952. He died there in 1973, having just seen the fourth edition of his Obras Completas through the press. In receiving the Nobel Prize in 1971, he had said that the poet must achieve a balance "between solitude and solidarity, between feeling and action, between the intimacy of one's self, the intimacy of mankind, and the relevation of nature."

He didn't even KNOW?
President Barack Obama didn't know of problems with the Affordable Care Act's website — despite insurance companies' complaints and the site's crashing during a test run — until days into its now well-documented abysmal launch, the nation's health chief told CNN on Tuesday.
In an exclusive interview with CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius admitted that there is concern in her department and the White House over the technical debacle surrounding the Obamacare website rollout, saying "no one could be more frustrated than I am and the president."
The site was supposed to make it simple for people to search and sign-up for new health care policies starting on October 1, but instead it's been clunky and, at times, inoperable.
"We're not at all satisfied with the workings of the website," Sebelius said. "We want it to be smooth and easy and let consumers' compare plans."
Okay look, I wasn't terribly surprised at the rollout of Healthcare.gov. What they wanted was complicated and from what I'm hearing from the contractors, multiple architecture changes were added at late moments, and many of the parameters for the system weren't delivered by HHS to the software coders until after the election, which seems ridiculous to me but evidently makes sense from a political standpoint.
But that's no longer even the issue. The issue is that Sebelius KNEW this thing wasn't going to work, and rather than go to her boss (who evidently prefers to read about his administration's screwups in the paper, rather than from the people responsible) she just went ahead and WENT WITH IT?
You are REQUIRING people to buy health insurance or they get penalized, and the place you set up so that they could do this doesn't even work? And you KNEW about it? Why isn't Obama's foot seven feet up Sebelius' ass? I've always known Obama's Administration is incompetent, but come on... can ANYONE BE THIS INCOMPETENT?
So... do we now put this on the list of other wonderful Obama Examples of Incompetence?
Balancing the Budget
Closing Gitmo
Foreign Relations with Egypt
Sodomized by Putin over Syria
Benghazi Security
Fast and Furious
and more...
UPDATE: Jay left an interesting comment. Here's my response:
Jay, once again you prove that you are a reasonable liberal. I like that. We're still figuring out what was going on with the White House, HHS, and the Healthcare.gov website. I've heard two speculative things - one was that the HHS wasn't as involved with the website as the White House itself, and two - that many of the specifics for the rules of getting insurance weren't disclosed to the software developer until after the 2012 elections (why I have no idea.) I find it more disturbing that this was a no-bid contract, to a company that had already screwed up not one, but two websites for the Canadian government.
I disagree with you on the legal limbo of the detainees, at least as you framed it. The legal problem is that these people are enemy combatants, not criminals. Which means you can't just shove them into our legal system. Not only that, but they aren't US Citizens, nor do the qualify as enemy soldiers by the definitions of the Geneva Convention. Bush and Obama have both proved that if you let them go, they start being terrorists again. I think the reason Gitmo is still open is because a bad case of reality hit the President.
Egypt - yes we did support a dictator for decades, because the enemy you know is better than the enemy you don't know. Frankly Mubarak kept the peace with Israel, maintained good control over his fundamentalists, protected the Suez, and basically worked with us to make the Middle East much more stable. And Obama threw Mubarak under the bus, knowing that the only political group organized enough and ready for elections was the Muslim Brotherhood. Brilliant plan.
Syria - Please don't tell me you don't think Obama's handling of the Syria situation was competent. First of all, we should never have been involved in the first place, unless we had done it two years before Al Queda operatives had gone in and gotten involved. Obama stepped on his own crank, shocking his OWN staff with his red line for chemical weapons attacks. Then after Assad actually did it, not once, but TWICE, Obama finally had to come forward and do something. And instead of actually moving quickly in order to take advantage of military surprise and keep Assad from spreading his chemical weapons assets all over the country to keep them from being destroyed or at least the delivery systems from being eliminated. And instead of doing what he did in Libya (violating the War Powers Act) he decided to announce to the world that he thought he should go in and do something (but not kill or attack Assad) but wanted approval from Congress - just like the law allows. Excuse me, don't get me wrong, I'm glad he FINALLY wanted to obey the law, but seriously? He wanted an excuse NOT to act. And even better, he could still blame those darn Republicans (who were the most vocal about NOT getting involved.) And THEN... then... Kerry stepped on HIS crank too! And in comes Putin, who calmly bends Obama over a barrel and...
Benghazi. No, we did not agree. There are still unanswered questions. 1. What was Stevens doing in Benghazi, without a full security detachment? 2. Why were there so many CIA agents on the ground in Benghazi? What were they doing? 3. What was the timeline of events at the State Department and the White House after the attack started? 4. Who gave the order for the security team in Tripoli to STAND DOWN, even before the attack ended? 5. Who arranged for US Military Rapid Response teams in the Med to head back to the States for TRAINING on 9-11? 6. Why on earth did the Obama Administration try very hard to change the narrative for this attack, blaming a stupid video that no one watched and only a half dozen had even heard of? Wouldn't it have just been easier to blame Muslim radicals hating America? It didn't even make sense! And the more we learn, the more I suspect that Obama knew what was going on and this is one of the CIA's big screwups.
Fast and Furious - You are incorrect about operations predating Obama's Administration. Yes, there was a similar program under Bush - but it was done with the Mexican Government's knowledge (Fast and Furious was not) and none of the guns made it across the border. We still don't know who came up with this program, much less decided to allow the guns to make it to Mexico. Was it just incompetence? If so, why not let us know the ATF made a mistake? But no... Obama declared we couldn't get the facts due to EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. Heck, even Jon Stewart went nuts over that.
Solendra - President Obama repeated multiple times during the campaign against Romney that Romney was evil for what he did at Bain Capital as a venture capitalist. Clearly someone needs to look up the definition of "venture capitalist" and then wonder what you call a venture capitalist using tax payer dollars to gamble on a business instead of investors.
Oh right... the NSA fiasco, and the IRS fiasco, and the State Department cover up of the US Ambassador to Belgium investigation where he was buggering little girls in a local park. Oh and don't forget the Lightspeed fiasco.
Jay, look... I admire your heart. I really do. I can even accept your opinion on the issues. But how on earth can you still support this man as President of the United States? Hell, as problematic as Bush was he didn't have even half this many scandals.

Ingredient Hysteria and Misconceptions
By: Carol and Rob Trow
Posted: January 2, 2014, from the January 2014 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 4
Some websites, blogs and brands indicate that vitamin A is a known human reproductive toxicant. Yet, much research shows that vitamin A is safe for use in cosmetics. In fact, vitamin A is alleged to be one of the most effective—if not the most effective—ingredient in anti-aging skin care.1 Like anything else, if you go to extremes and submerge the body in high doses of retinoic acid thousands of times the amount used in skin care products, it will harm you. But, is that reasonable? There is no proof, despite rumors and assertions, that the levels of vitamin A in cosmetics cause cancer or organ toxicity.
Propylene glycol. A much-maligned ingredient, propylene glycol is safe for use in cosmetics.6, 7 According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Cosmetic Ingredient Review's (CIR) National Toxicology Program, there is negligible, if any, concern related to its use. In fact, it is safe to eat. This ingredient comes in two forms: vegetable sources and synthetic sources, such as petroleum. It is safe in cosmetic use and no toxicity was found at dose levels used in skin care. The concentration in cosmetic preparations is normally under 2%. The CIR stated it is safe in concentrations up to 50%.7 There is no scientific evidence or truth to the assertions that, in the form and dose used in skin care, it causes cancer, or brain, kidney or liver damage. There are no histological refereed studies that prove the rumor that, in concentrations used in skin care, propylene glycol removes the acid mantle of the skin.
Parabens. One of the most controversial and researched preservatives are parabens. Health concerns include links to the development of breast cancer and reproductive toxicity, as well as immunotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Many are surprised to learn that parabens are nature's way of providing self-preservation for many naturally occurring fruits and vegetables, including blueberries, strawberries and carrots. Parabens have been deemed safe, after multiple studies by the FDA, the Japanese Ministry of Health and the European Commission. Published in the International Journal of Toxicity in 2008, the CIR reported on more than 65 studies by independent scientific researchers, documenting that exposure to 840 times the amount of parabens found in cosmetics caused no adverse effects. Further, parabens do not accumulate in the body and, if there are any excess parabens, they are easily eliminated from the body.
Parabens have been the subject of much misinformation, rumor-mongering and unfounded hype about their dangers based on a few poorly designed studies.8 The FDA reviewed 110 studies and confirmed that there is no basis for concern.9–11 Lastly, in order to claim an estrogenic effect from parabens, the dosage would have to be 25,000 times that found in cosmetics.12
Mineral oil. The highly refined, pharmaceutical-grade of mineral oil has been an effective ingredient in skin care.13 It has been proven that it has no adverse effect on the stratum cornium.14, 15 Mineral oil has been shown to improve skin softness and is a safe ingredient that removes excess oil and can help dissolve comedones. Its value in treating oily skin is unquestioned. The claims that today's pharmaceutical-grade mineral oil is carcinogenic are false with no data to support them.13, 15–17

@Sue: Some of those orchestral composers are really in a completely different league with regards to harmonization
My favorites are the Russians; Tschaikovsky, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff and Rimsky-Korskov. For example Tschaikovsky's Sugar Plum sounds so natural, yet it's quite complex.
Actually, it's possible to find some newer pop music that uses the "orchestral approach" with lots of monophonic instrument lines so the harmonies are more like "intersections" of those lines. I just can't remember any right now...
All the best,

Oracle Launches JRuby Website
Oracle has just released the first, major JRuby application, thus demonstrating the viability of the Java port of the Ruby scripting language.
Oracle's Web 2.0 platform, Oracle Mix, is the home of the first major JRuby application. JRuby is a Java implementation of the Ruby scripting language which became popular mainly due to the Rails Web framework. Sun took on the two JRuby core developers, Charles Nutter and Thomas Enebo, a year ago to promote development of the Ruby port.
The third programmer in the JRuby gang, Ola Bini, was a member of a team that completed the new Oracle site in just five weeks. Besides Bini, the team consisted of three colleagues from Thoughtworks and one Oracle employee. The new site is based on Oracle's database, application, directory server, proprietary single sign-on solution and JRuby on Rails. Oracle Mix will support communications between the company and customers in future, providing information to developers and giving them a platform to exchange information and views.

Dawan, who, at 21, is the oldest and shortest of the group, points to a couple of Lil' Wayne wannabes by the escalators and explains that the pair are loitering, because they look like they have nothing to do. "That's what you'd do when you were a kid," he says. "Now that I'm older, I'm able to go places that I want to go, but I come over here and buy stuff."
"We buy white T-shirts and black shoes. Over and over," Devon laughs. "Shoes, shirts. That's it."
But in between purchases, a man needs to relax, sometimes with friends, sometimes for hours at a time. Hence the lounge. The mall has changed a lot since Dawan first started coming here in his early teens, back when it was known as the Aurora Mall and many of the storefronts stood empty. A 2004 shooting near Champs Sports that killed nineteen-year-old Krystal Martinez was thought to be the death knell for the indoor mall, which had been losing business to the Cherry Creek and Park Meadows shopping centers. But a $100 million renovation spruced the place up with high ceilings, lots of tile and lick-and-stick flagstone built into the walls.
"It looks more professional," Dawan says.
"It doesn't look so beat," Devon, age seventeen, agrees.
"My mom, she didn't even used to come in here, that's how bad it was," Dawan says. "Now she comes in here all the time. My grandmother comes in here."
The fact that this mall is the most heavily secured in the state, with at least five private security guards and several Aurora police officers patrolling the interior at all times, does seem to bother them a little.
"You can feel them looking at you," Jaciani points out. "You can see their eyes just follow you around."
"That's why they got a police station in here," Devon says. "It's not a little security guard stand; it's an actual police station. After that happened, after that girl got shot, they put it in."
There's also the policy that prohibits anyone under sixteen from being in the mall without an adult on weekends. "To tell you the truth, the people, you've got to think about the people that live in this area," Dawan adds. "Because that's where their business is coming from — who's going to come in here. The way it was before, no one would come in here. I'm not saying that you got to get out of here, you sixteen, you got to get out is a bad thing or a good thing. But at the same time, it's sort of good because then they don't have to worry about it. To tell you the truth, when I was that age, we was bad. BAD."
"I'll tell you what the problem is, right there," Dawan says, pointing to a man, a white guy in handcuffs, being escorted out the door by police. They all laugh. "AAWWWWW!!!" yells Jaciani. "Damn, there he goes!" — Jared Jacang Maher
Expo Park
10955 East Exposition Avenue, Aurora
3:50 p.m.
The border between Denver and Aurora is a mass of jigs and jogs that, taken together, essentially runs along a roughly north/south axis. On Alameda, the dividing line is Galena Street, and a few blocks east is the 57-acre Expo Park. Its location, just inside the city limits in what city planners call the "Alameda corridor," makes Expo Park the perfect spot for a gateway monument welcoming people to the city.
It's an idea that's just taking shape, as a huge sculptural composition is erected south of Alameda at the north end of the park.
The piece, a cycle of interrelated sculptures, is titled "Aurora Akimbo," and it was created specifically for this particular spot by well-known Denver artist David Griggs. Over the past twenty years, Griggs, who earned his MFA at the University of Colorado, has made many sculptures and installations that are on permanent view — at DIA, on the viaduct near Coors Field and in other locales throughout Denver and across the country.
"Aurora Akimbo" is a massive conceptual piece made of molded and painted fiberglass. It's 22 feet tall and sixty feet long, and it takes the form of a giant tumbling letter A depicted in three separate monumental vignettes. The A's are surrounded by hoops further suggesting that the A is rolling away down the lawn, despite the fact that all the elements are permanently affixed to the ground. For Griggs, the A doesn't simply stand for "Aurora," but for a set of free-association words that start with A, including "Achievement," "Aspiration" and, though the artist doesn't say so, "Alameda."
Griggs is just the latest prominent regional artist to be awarded a commission in Aurora. The municipal government here sees public art as a vehicle for some badly needed city beautification, as well as a way to inspire some sorely lacking civic pride. And though she definitely has her work cut out for her, public art manager Deana Miller has done her part by recruiting the best local talent for the job. — Michael Paglia

She holds a Ph.D. and an S.M.Arch.S. from MIT, a B.Arch. from the University of British Columbia, and a B.Sc. from the University of Toronto. She is currently working on manuscripts, "The History of Early Team X Thinking, 1947-1962," and is editing a collection of essays titled, "Mies Re:considered." LECTURE "Beneath Ethics: Love, Understanding and Non-Action" Ethics, as a basis of correct action that allows us to live together, change with time and context. Based on the collective and variable nature of ethics, Pedret will argue two things. First, that they are bound to, and change with, our evolving conceptions of reality. Second, that in a mature state, action has to be integrated in human life which means that it must be balanced with both understanding and felt experience. Pedret will discuss that understanding, or understanding the essence of an 'other,' is an expression of love; and that we also accept a definition of felt experience as describing a state of non-action or being, then ethics as a basis for correct action that allow us to live together are based on love and being . This understanding of ethics, she will explain, puts into crisis modernism's avoidance of the spiritual dimension. More importantly, an understanding of the role played by love, understanding, and non-action allows us to go beyond the motivations, desires, ego, and attachments implicit in the process of making to an awareness of reality that is detached from wanting or not wanting. This in turn can lead to respect, dignity, generosity, grace, and even beauty. This lecture will be published in The Archeworks Papers Volume 1, Number Four which will be released in spring 2007. |

New instillation open for public viewing, will serve as reminder of research collaboration
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 8, 2013
(RENO) - In 2005 scientists from Reno's Desert Research Institute launched a joint research project with Chinese researchers to analyze indoor air pollutants and create sustainable practices to preserve China's ancient Terra Cotta Army from the impacts of air pollution, humidity and tourism.
Dr. Stephen G. Wells, DRI President, and air quality expert Dr. Judith Chow thank Tom and Mary Kay Gallagher for donating a replica Terra Cotta Warrior to DRI.
This morning an instillation showcasing the results of DRI's work and featuring a life-size statue of a Terra Cotta General was unveiled in the lobby of DRI's Reno campus by Dr. Stephen Wells, DRI President, Drs. Judith Chow and John Watson, internationally known air quality experts in DRI's Division of Atmospheric Sciences, and Tom and Mary Kay Gallagher, long-time DRI supporters. Mr. Gallagher is also a former Trustee and currently serves a Fellow on DRI's Research Foundation.
"This exhibit calls attention to DRI's international impact and its great working relationships with similar institutions in China," said Tom Gallagher. "It tells a tremendous story and highlights DRI's involvement in helping to solve the incredible environmental challenges facing China and the rest of the world."
"The General," replica statue stands nearly seven-feet tall, weighs over 300 pounds and was constructed from the same clay soil that ancient craftsman used to create Emperor Qin's army more than 2,000 years ago. It was donated to DRI by the Gallaghers, who purchased the replica from Emperor Qin's Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses Museum outside Xi'an, China during a visit last fall with Dr. Wells that coincided with Governor Brian Sandoval's trade mission to China.
"There's a metaphor for this story and this generous donation from Mr. and Mrs. Gallagher," Dr. Chow explained. "DRI researchers have and continue to create great things for their constituents - the people of Nevada, the U.S. and the world. We can't do this, however, without the continued sponsorship of these constituents, through their encouragement of government allocations for research and innovation, and through their direct contributions to scholarships and endowments."
Drs. Chow and Watson, who have collaborated with Chinese scientists for more than a decade on air quality issues and have generated a steady stream of Chinese graduate research students to DRI's Reno and Las Vegas campuses, plan to continue their efforts in restoring the ancient relics in Xi'an and lead additional efforts in atmospheric research throughout China.
Video b-roll of this morning's event and DRI's work on the Terra Cotta Army is available upon request.

Cowboys RB Dunbar could be out for a month with injury
AUG 19, 2013 10:44a ET
In this preseason, the smallish Dunbar has eight carries for 45 yards and six receptions for 83 yards. Up until the injury, his work is marred only by a fumble at the end of an explosive catch-and-run against the Cardinals on Saturday.
While Dunbar was slated to possibly earn regular-season snaps as a third-down back, Dallas does have depth at the position with fifth-round pick Joseph Randle and power back Phillip Tanner also available.

Next cut out the long piece that will form the interior of the central section. Fold the piece into a U-shape with the row of little windows facing the inside and the flaps folded back at a right angle.
Slide the U-shaped piece inside the box so that the rows of windows match exactly. Try test-fitting the piece before gluing it in place. Make sure the U-shaped piece fits snugly inside the box with its edges flush with the edges of the first piece, so that step #2 will go smoothly.
Glue the small tab at the top to connect the walls around and then fold down the roof, tucking the tabs inside the walls.
Then fold over the bottom panel and glue it inside the bottom part of the wall. Just like before, make sure the piece is glued straight and square.
With a very small amount of glue on the edges, slide the interior piece inside the U-shape down the middle. Match up the rows of windows upwards and downwards. If necessary, use a blunt toothpick or similar tool to push the smaller piece inward or outward to position it in the center.
At last your model of the Empire State Building is finished! You can find a tiny model of the U.S.S. Akron and scale sized King Kong on the Extra Projects page.

Gilbert JW et al. – The use of CT/MRI for evaluation of atraumatic headache increased dramatically in emergency departments (EDs) in the USA between 1998 and 2008. The prevalence of intracranial pathology (ICP) among patients who received CT/MRI declined concurrently, suggesting a role for clinical decision support to guide more judicious use of imaging.
Methods- Data were obtained from the USA National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey of emergency department (ED) visits between 1998 and 2008.
- A cohort of atraumatic headache-related visits were identified using preassigned 'reason-for-visit' codes.
- Sample visits were weighted to provide national estimates.
- Between 1998 and 2008 the percentage of patients presenting to the ED with atraumatic headache who underwent imaging increased from 12.5% to 31.0% (p<0.01) while the prevalence of ICP among those visits decreased from 10.1% to 3.5% (p<0.05).
- The length of stay in the ED was 4.6 h (95% CI 4.4 to 4.8) for patients with headache who received imaging compared with 2.7 (95% CI 2.6 to 2.9) for those who did not.
- Of 18 factors evaluated in patients with headache, 10 were associated with a significantly increased odds of an ICP diagnosis: age ≥50 years, arrival by ambulance, triage immediacy <15 min, systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg and disturbance in sensation, vision, speech or motor function including neurological weakness.

4.1 What does this Committee do? The Religious Education Credentialing Committee (RECC) is a Standing Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). It is responsible for all aspects of the Religious Education Credentialing program. As such:
4.2 Who serves on the Committee? The Religious Education Credentialing Committee is appointed by the Board of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Members represent various perspectives and aspects of congregational life.
A listing of current members of the Committee can be found on the RECC Members of the Committee page in the Governance section of the website.
4.3 What happens at the evaluative interview with the Committee? After introductions are made, a candidate conducts a brief element of worship and then gives a short presentation.
When the presentation is concluded, the interview begins. The Religious Education Credentialing Committee begins by asking a question chosen by the candidate, and for which the candidate has a prepared response. This is followed by a series of questions to the candidate from the Committee members. These questions may have been prompted by the candidate's portfolio or presentation or may be general questions related to religious education leadership in a Unitarian Universalist context.
When the Committee is done with their questions, the candidate is excused to the waiting area while the Committee deliberates on their decision whether to award a credential to candidate and whether any contingencies are associated with the award. At the conclusion of the deliberation, the candidate is invited back into the meeting space and is notified of the Committee's decision.
For more information contact recredentialing @ uua.org.

Chevrolet Cavalier anti-theft help
ckwwilson Posts: 7My 2003 Chevy Cavalier has begun to turn it's Passlock system on by itself. I have owned the car for 7 years and never had this issue until 3 days ago. Since then it has happened three times. I have done nothing different to activate it, and it's parked in my garage when not in use, so neither has anyone else. I tried the 3 times 30 minutes trick that I read online, didn't work. I tried starting in neutral, didn't work. What do I do now to FIX the problem permanently? I had it towed to a local repair shop the first time it happened which is how I knew what was happening. They killed the code with their computer, but I can't have my car towed every time I need to use it.
Kirstie_H Posts: 10,918I know it's a different vehicle... BUT, your problem sounds very similar to the one experienced in our Grand Am Security Passlock discussion. There's an easy do-it-yourself solution, so you might hop over there.
Need help navigating? email@example.com - or send a private message by clicking on my name.
Share your vehicle reviews -
ckwwilson Posts: 7Okay, I went ahead and read that thread. My cavalier does not have an electronic key though, and my security light is not staying on or flashing. The only reason that I know this is the problem is because the code came up after I had it towed to the repair shop. According to my research it has the Passlock II system though which is the same as the Grand Am and other cars close to that year, but they all have electronic keys. Do you still think that putting a resistor in will work in my case?
-Thanks -
cjblack1 Posts: 1I was driving the other day and my theft system light came on. I brought it home and took the cables off the battery to see if I could reset it. It did the same thing. Now when I start it, the Theft light comes on and when I put it in gear....it makes a noise and all the panel lights start flashing and stay on. I can still drive it, but something is wrong and I would like to fix it! Help!
lovemygrandam Posts: 330ckwwilson,
I'm afraid you misread the Passlock thread on the Grand Am. The Grand Am, Alero, and Impala (1999-2004) have ignition keys that are not electronic... same as your Cavalier. If you know that your car has Passlock II, then go ahead and do the modification described on my website.
Click on the 2003 Oldsmobile Alero Passlock Repair link, to learn how to make the repair at or near the ignition switch. You will probably need a shop manual to figure out how to access the ignition switch, but that's much cheaper than having the thing repaired at the dealer. -
ckwwilson Posts: 7Lovemygrandam: I wired in a 2200 ohm resistor that cost me 20 cents at Radio Shack and it seems to be back to normal. I've started it 15 times or so and no passlock interference as of yet. I have to note that one really should buy a Haynes manual for $25 so that if nothing else, they may follow the step by step instructions to get the dashpad and instrument panel covers off since you have to remove both to get at the radio. More importantly, the wires are not the same on the Cavalier as was described for the Grand Am and Alero. I'm sure that is because they are on a different chassis. The THICK ORANGE wire is the one you need to CUT because it is connected to the 'Multi Function Alarm Module', and the THICK BLACK wire is the one to STRIP and solder the resistor in between. There is a yellow wire, but it is a speaker wire for the left rear speaker, and another thin black wire that should also be ignored on the Cavalier. Other than that, I did exactly what you described on your website and it seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you very much for your help! You're a life saver!
ckwwilson Posts: 7cjblack1: Not sure if this is the same problem I just fixed or not, my Cavalier is a 2003 so it has the second generation Passlock II system, I believe from my reading that pre-2000 models have the Passlock I system, but if you are having the same problems as me, this fix should work for you as well. I didn't have any panel lights flashing, and mine happened when I went to start the car rather than while I was driving. The difference between generations of our Passlock systems may be the reason for that, I don't really know but it's worth checking out this guy's web page to see if it helps.
crielismi Posts: 1Hello, I have a 2002 Chevy Cavalier w/ a 2.2 OHV. My locking cylinder went out - and instead of paying $202 to the local dealership for a new cylinder I paid a local salvage yard $79 for a whole new steering column. Turned out I needed it anyway, because the key in the old column would not even turn to the "on" position to get the old cylinder removed and we actually couldn't even get it removed from the column - completely locked up! So, my father has successfully removed the old column and put the new one in - it has a key with it and a new remote. But now the antitheft will activate when we try to turn the car on and it won't start. How do I reprogram the system for my new column/key/remote? I am a single mom and can't afford a dealership!! Any help would be great!!
shadetreemac Posts: 2I have a 96 Chevy Cavalier. It sounds as though we are all in the same boat, here more or less. Being a former GM employee I feel it's shameful that the Passlock Security system supplies so many probems.
Okay off my soabox and on to my questions.
!. How do you determine is the Igintion Lock Cyl. is bad or if the problem is rather the Ignition Switch?
2. On my vehicle...attempting to run the bypass that "lovemygrandma" has provoided us, on my Cav. does anyone know what two wires I will be looking to use for the bypass?
There is on the year's car..and bypass procedure one can use. It is something that you have to use per start up though. It goes as follows;
Insert the key in the drives door lock.
Go to Lock
Back to unlock
Back to Lock
Back to Nuetral
Back to Lock ..hold in that position for 5 seconds.
then rotate back to unlock.
Your theft light should now have gone out.
You can start the car on a time per time basis using this procedure.
Please if someone could...enlighten me on the two above posted questions.

shadetreemac Posts: 2Being a former GM employee I think GM should cover this DEFECT IN DESIGN ...regardless of the year of the vehicle. We all wondered why GM continued to lose market share..then fall as they did. Things like this theft system issue is one reason so many people shy away from GM after having purchased one of the their products.
joe_payne Posts: 1What type of anti-theft system came on my 2005 Cavalier? I have read so many posts trying to find a solution to my problem that I am now totally confused.
My problem could be in the starter so here is what it is doing. Place key in the ignition and turn to on position and all lights and guages come on. Anti-theft lights for a couple of seconds and goes out. Turn to start and all the guages and lights in the dash go off and out. Car does nothing. No clicking or any other sounds. Would the anti-theft system cause this or am I looking at maybe a starter or starter solenoid problem?
Any help will be appreciated. -
ckwwilson Posts: 7Hey Joe. I forgot to get on here and retract my story about putting a bypass in at the stereo. Don't do that it won't work. Your cavalier will have the Passlock II system in it. The bypass idea does work but you have to do it in the steering column instead. Its been a while now since i did it and i just sold my cavalier so i cant go look at it for wire coloring so you'll have to look at past posts to be sure which colors to connect together. Take the three screws out of the bottom of the plastic covering on your steering column. Take off the top and bottom plastic pieces so that you can get to the wires underneath. There is a small wire bundle going directly into the ignition switch that you put your key into. You'll need to pull back the black tape to expose the wires. There should be a black, white, and yellow wire. Again you'll have to check that past post to read which to connect and how. Its the same process wire wise, just in the steering column instead of near the radio. Youll need to strip one and cut another and solder a 2200ohm resistor between them. Be sure that you solder it to the cut wire on the side that goes back into the dash, not the side that goes into the ignition switch. Once you have it bypassed unplug the bundle from the ignition switch and just leave it hanging when you put the column back together. You may have to do the passlock reset afterward to get it to start back up though. Turn the key to the on position withiut starting and leave it for just over 10 minutes. Do that three times and after the third time it should start whrn you turn the key. I hope this helps because i know how frustrating this problem is. Sorry for not knowing the color codes too. I'm writing this from my ohone so i cant look at the past posts.
kldenning Posts: 1So I just brought home my 2004 Cavalier. I love it overall, but the one pain in the butt thing with it is the little button that you have to press on the ignition to release the key. Sometimes it works fine..other times it's a two handed job. And other times still it's a mess with it for 5 mins thing. Really annoying. Is there some way to disable this button so that I don't have to deal with it anymore, or do I just need to deal, or get it fixed? HELP!!

Michigan Prosperity Initiative
Michigan Prosperity Initiative
- Summary of 2010 MPI Activities
- Follow-Up New Economy Training Opportunities Now Available
- New MPI Reports Now Available
October 7 Program at the Lansing Center: REDEFINING ECONOMIC STRATEGIES FOR THE NEW ECONOMY
- Survey Summary Report
- Appendices for the Survey Summary Report
- Final Agenda
- Presentations
- Draft State Strategies and Related Figures
Thursday, October 7, 2010, is a unique opportunity to join representatives of over 150 stakeholder groups at the Lansing Center in downtown Lansing for a special Michigan Prosperity Initiative New Economy Program. The theme for the event is "Redefining Economic Strategies for the New Economy." In the morning, registrants will learn about emerging opportunities for Michigan to better compete in the global New Economy. Michigan's Governor Jennifer M. Granholm and MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon will make presentations along with some of the state's leading experts on the New Economy. In the afternoon, participants will have the opportunity to gather in small groups to discuss and refine draft State Strategies to rebuild Michigan's economy.
The goal of the October 7 program is to discover strategies around which there is broad support that could quickly be implemented to rapidly move Michigan into a more competitive economic position.
The Michigan Prosperity Initiative (MPI) is an innovative effort by Michigan State University, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the Michigan Association of Regions, the Michigan Municipal League, the Michigan Townships Association, the Michigan Association of Planning, Michigan State University Extension, the MSU College of Agriculture and Natural Resources; the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station; Michigan Citizen Planner; and the Planning & Zoning Center to help return economic prosperity to the state. The MSU Land Policy Institute (LPI) is leading this effort.
The MPI provides the state of Michigan and its citizens, businesses, local governments and other stakeholders with information and training on economic strategy development. The training is based on MSU and other university and think-tank research that has the potential to return the state to a place among the most prosperous places in the world. Three separate levels of training programs led by LPI and MSU Extension educators were provided in 99 sessions between mid-April and mid-June, 2010.New Economy 101:
Fundamentals of the New Economy (Agenda and FAQs)
This two-hour program describes how Michigan's present economic circumstances developed, and emphasizes that because Michigan has many assets there is good reason to be hopeful about our economic future. Thirteen actions Michigan could take to move the state forward are also presented. This program is of interest to all audiences.
New Economy 201:
Place-Based Regional Economic Planning (Agenda and FAQs)
This four-hour program focuses on a simple common vision and basic goals for prosperity; it describes in detail Michigan's critical assets and then identifies place-based strategies to help us create new prosperity on a regional basis. This program is targeted to those that attended New Economy 101, and professionals and representatives of local government and other key stakeholder groups.
New Economy 301:
Strategies to Bridge the Gap (Agenda and FAQs)
This six-hour (all day) program addresses detailed economic analyses that can be performed to help inform regional strategic growth plans and the key strategies necessary to implement those plans. This program is intended for those that attended the first two programs, and planning and economic development professionals.
Host a Follow-Up Training in Your Region
Twenty-three trainers are available to repeat these programs to stakeholder groups or communities. Hybrid options are also available. A fee may be charged for follow-up trainings. To request a training in your region, download the request form or contact email@example.com or call 517.432.2222 for more information. A list of the different types of programs available is listed below:
- Repeat the New Economy trainings.
- Synthesis New Economy trainings (some combination of New Economy 101, 201 and 301 programs).
- Short introductory New Economy trainings.
- Out-of-State New Economy trainings.
- An online version of the program is under development by Michigan Citizen Planner.
- Cluster Analysis Report
- Gazelle, New Businesses and Resilience Analysis Reports
- Sister Region Benchmarking Analysis Reports
Cluster Analysis Report
One of the highlights for many attendees of the New Economy 301 program was information presented on clusters that LPI studied as part of a regional strategic planning economic development process in the mid-Michigan area in 2009. The study defines clusters as interrelated businesses that collocate regionally, feed off one another and compete effectively. Clusters are made up of many business sectors, which contribute all or part of their activity to that cluster, such as the auto cluster that is made up of:
- auto manufacturing;
- part suppliers;
- logistics companies;
- auto dealers;
- credit companies
- worker training companies;
- marketing and advertising;
- insurance companies; and more.
Cluster planning has been shown to be a powerful tool in developing strategies for prosperity. Frequently, clusters develop organically; however, they can be planned, nurtured, marketed and leveraged for regional prosperity. Clusters tend to share a specialized infrastructure, labor markets and services, and are faced with common opportunities and threats. Business clusters are a driving force in the New Economy. Examples of well-known clusters include:
- Information technology in Silicon Valley, CA.
- Wineries in Napa Valley, CA.
- Finance in New York City, NY.
- Auto manufacturing and distribution in Detroit, MI.
The Land Policy Institute has now completed a thorough analysis of 23 clusters that may present opportunities for economic diversification in many different regions in Michigan. The clusters studied include:
- Engineering Technology and Design;
- Construction and Deconstruction;
- Advanced Transportation;
- Arts and Culture;
- Advanced Waste Management;
- Fisheries and Freshwater Industries;
- Film;
- Tourism;
- Defense and Security;
- Finance and Insurance;
- Supply Chain and Logistics;
- Advanced and Flexible Manufacturing;
- Robotics and Automation;
- Mining;
- Forestry and Wood Products;
- Education and Knowledge Creation;
- Information Technology;
- Aerospace;
- Food Innovation;
- Energy;
- Environmental Technology;
- Life Sciences; and
- Healthcare.
Included in the 366-page report are maps and graphs for each of the clusters, showing national and state location quotient data, shift-share maps, tables and charts.
To make it easier to download the report, it has been broken down into several smaller sections. Visit Cluster Analysis to download the report. A copy of the report may be viewed at each of the 14 State Planning & Development Regions' offices located across the state.
In addition, LPI is working on a follow-up report that breaks down the energy super cluster into four renewable energy clusters: Biomass, Solar, Advanced Energy Storage and Wind Energy. Be sure to check future editions of "This Week at LPI" for updates on this report.
Sister Region Benchmarking Analysis Reports
In addition to the Cluster Analysis Report, LPI prepared 13 comparative regional analysis reports for the 14 State Planning & Development Regions. The Sister Region Reports look at close to 55 variables for each State Planning & Development Region and comparable regions around the country. Regions were selected as comparable based on area, population and rural/urban characteristics.
Gazelle, New Businesses and Resilience Analysis Reports
In addition to the Cluster Analysis Report, LPI prepared 14 comparative regional analysis reports for the State Planning & Development Regions. The Gazelle Reports focus on rapidly growing sectors and the relative success of traditional sectors in weathering the economic storm Michigan has faced over the last decade.

Pattaya is located on Thailand's Eastern Seaboard and at 147km or just over two hours from Bangkok, it is the closest of Thailand's major beach resorts to the capital city. Pattaya City is a self-governing municipal area, and is located within but not part of Amphoe Banglamung in Chonburi Province.
From Bangkok, buses leave every 30 minutes from Ekkamai Bus Terminal (near Ekkamai BTS), and the Northern and Northeastern Bus Terminal (best known as Mochit Mai).
A taxi from Bangkok to Pattaya should cost no more than 1,500 baht.
Pattaya is a year-round holiday destination, though the best time to go is between November and April. This is the tourist season and getting accommodation can be difficult, especially during New Year, Thai New Year (Songkran Festival, April 13 – 15), and at long weekends. A three-day Pattaya Music Festival is held yearly in March.
The three main areas in Pattaya are Pattaya Beach, Na Klua and Jomtien Beach, and each features its own unique charm and individual characteristics. High-rise-lined Pattaya Beach is more chaotic, packed with modern shopping malls, fine-dining outlets, and best known for its raunchy nightlife scene, while Na Klua is a quiet beach off the beaten path. Family-oriented activities and water sports can be found in Jomtien, only 10 minutes from Pattaya Beach.
The Sanctuary of Truth – This is an enormous wooden castle-like building constructed according to ancient Thai ingenuity and entirely covered with intricate wooden carvings. Here, well-trained and delightful dolphins put up a show twice daily.
Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum – Located on the second floor of Royal Garden Plaza, this quirky and world-famous museum features over 250 bizarre and almost unbelievable items from around the world that promise to thrill both mind and body. Nearby are the haunted house, a 4D cinema, and the latest Louis Tussauds Waxworks.
Pattaya Floating Market – Only a short drive from Pattaya, the market offers dining and shopping experiences in style. Hire a man-powered boat or walk through hundreds of shops and restaurants lining both sides of the canal. Admission is free.
Cabaret Show – Pattaya is where the very first transsexual cabaret in Southeast Asia was open. There are two main theatres: Tiffany and Alcazar. Let the professional performers entertain you with an impressive repertoire ranging from song-and-dance numbers in dazzling costumes to comedy impersonations.
Koh Lan (Coral Island) – Koh Lan is a little paradise! The beaches are clean and the water is always crystal clear. Snorkeling tours and daytrips around the island can easily be arranged. Ferries leave frequently from South Pattaya Pier.
Water Sports and Beach Activities – Jomtien Beach is one of the best spots for windsurfing and waterskiing. Prices are negotiable and lessons are widely available for beginners. The beach here is less chaotic than Pattaya Beach, making it an ideal place to sunbathe or relax.
Golf – There are over 20 professional golf courses around Pattaya and neighbouring Chonburi Province. Most courses are busy at the weekends and holidays when extra charges and member preference will apply.
Pattaya Park – Located on Dong Tan Beach, Pattaya Park features a massive seaside water-park, amusement park with roller coasters and other thrill rides, and a 240-metre tall tower with three revolving restaurants. The observation deck on the 55th floor has panoramic view and quite exquisite especially at sunset. Tower Jumping is also available.
Party – The fun in Pattaya doesn't end when the sun sets. In fact, things heat up when evening falls. Pattaya nightlife is pulsating with plenty of bars (including beer bars and A Go-go bars) and nightclubs serving drinks, food and fun until very late. Party animals shouldn't miss Pattaya Walking Street and the Beach Road. Hard Rock Hotel throws a pool-foam party every Saturday from 21:00 until late.
Pattaya Walking Street. This is one massive party zone, stretching from Pattaya Beach Road Soi 13 – 16, with endless beer bars, A Go-Go bars and discos. Even if you may not be interested in the 'Pattaya nightlife experience', visitors should visit this strip at least once when in town. Pattaya Music Festival held yearly in March. The festival goes on for three days, usually starting around 16:00 – after midnight. A few international bands attend with over 100 Thai pop, rock, and indie groups performing on three stages. Admission is free.
After white powdery beaches and clear water. Pattaya features neither. Koh Lan, with its beautiful beaches is an hour offshore, though it's more suitable for a daytrip as choices of accommodations and facilities are quite limited. Koh Samed and Koh Chang are more of an ideal sun-sea-and-sand getaway.
Seeking tranquillity and peace. Pattaya never sleeps. This is a place where fun, excitement and adventure come together in a tropical seaside hotspot.
On a honeymoon – the south of Thailand is more appropriate for newlywed lovebirds and couples.
A party animal. Pattaya has plenty of choices for partygoers. Most nightclubs stay open until the early morning hours. Pattaya is known as one of the best after-dark entertainment towns in Thailand.
Ready to experience Pattaya's legendary after-dark reputation. Beer bars, go-go bars and massage parlours, both straight and gay, are dotted along the main roads and side sois (street).
Short on time in Thailand, but still want to go to the beach and get a nice tan. Pattaya is only two and a half hours on a bus from Bangkok.
