I'd like to add either a laminate or resilent fiber-glass vinyl floor on an enclosed porch in Maine. The flooring on the porch now is 5/4" pressure treated decking built over a concrete wall and floor crawl space. I was wondering what type of vapor barrier is need or necessary to add before I put down a 1/4" luan subfloor before I install the finished product. Should I put the vapor barrier over the pressure treated floor or on the bottom side of the floor joist. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
A vapour barrier under the subfloor or laminate will trap moisture. A vapour barrier under the floor will not stop condensation on the ceiling of the crawlspace and movement of the moisture into the floor above. Converting the crawlspace into a conditioned space will avoid moisture problems. |

I'm married and a stay at home mom. My dad was a caterer, and loved to cook, making his own homemade Italian sausage several times a year. Our family has always been in the food business, and I have inherited his love of food and preparing it for my family and friends. I especially like preparing something outstanding for the kid's birthday dinners, and serving it up on the good china, crystal, candles, the works. They know that they can ask me to make anything for that night. I think it makes them feel very loved, and pampered. I enjoy doing different themed dinners for my family and friends, including adding special decor to the dining room to set the theme.

Step by Step instructions to download, install Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 10.3.5, and create a sample domain are described in this article. Well, What is WebLogic? WebLogic Server is a powerful Application Server to run J2EE Applications. This is pretty much equivalent to Oracle 10gAS OC4J server, but WebLogic is known for its rich features and great functionality. Since Oracle has acquired BEA, there has been a strategic shift in the Application Server technologies from OC4J to Weblogic Server. Oracle has moved most of the OC4J Applications to Weblogic in Fusion Middleware releases. If you see the tag, Fusion, you can guess that it is Weblogic Application. Other than directory structures, installation procedure, here are few key differences between OC4J and WebLogic Server.
OC4J uses AJP protocol between OHS and OC4J. OHS in front of OC4J is a must (as OC4J itself does not have a HTTP listener, so it cannot answer HTTP requests). This is quite different in WebLogic, as WebLogic has got a HTTP listener, users can directly access WebLogic port from the browser. Of course, it is recommended to front end WebLogic by a web server but it is not mandatory. Web Server is mandatory for OC4J.
OC4J is completely managed by OPMN. A couple of interesting features by OPMN, such as increasing no# of JVMs (numprocs in opmn.xml) for the OC4J are available. WebLogic is not managed by OPMN. So, WebLogic always runs out of only one JVM.
OC4J runs on wide range of ports whereas WebLogic runs everything on a single port by default, i.e. 7001. Here is an example of OC4J Port ranges:
ajp range=12501-12600
rmi range=12401-12500
jms range=12601-12700
Here is a quick installation of 10.3.5 WebLogic Server. I would create a quick Domain to demonstrate the config.sh:
Download Weblogic
Download Oracle WebLogic Server: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/wls-main-097127.html
Download 64bit JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u29-download-513648.html
wls1035_generic.jar: This is a generic file that can be used on any platform. It includes WebLogic Server and Coherence but NOT JDK. In most of the 64bit WebLogic Installations, I had to use this one instead of direct executable.
wls1035_linux32.bin: Linux x86 32-bit executable. It includes WebLogic Server, Coherence, Sun SDK 1.6.0, and Oracle JRockit 1.6.0.
wls1035_linux64.bin: Linux x86 64-bit executable, it includes WebLogic Server, Coherence, and Oracle JRockit 1.6.0. If you prefer to use Sun JDK for development servers, you got to install JDK first and then run wls1035_generic.jar instead.
If it's a executable, you can simply execute as:
$ ./wls1035_linux32.bin
But if you need to run with different JDK, run:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar wls1035_generic.jar
There is no straight 64bit JDK on HP-PA, HPIA, and Solaris64 platforms and rather it's a Hybrid JDK. In this case:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -d64 -jar wls1035_generic.jar
Preinstall tasks
We need to make a choice for JRockit or Sun JDK. JRockit is more meant to be for Production usage. It takes longer to start, needs more memory and runs faster during the runtime. Sun JDK starts faster, needs less memory heap, and is little slow during the run time. If you have a cap on Memory, better go with Sun JDK. I would prefer Sun JDK in non-production environments. I have already installed 64bit JDK on this Linux Server and called wls1035_generic.jar. Coherence is another new component that is supposed to speed things up using the cache. It's an optional component.
Here are basic requirements to install the WebLogic Server.
- Processor: 1-GHz CPU
- Memory : A minimum of 1 GB RAM, although recommends 2 GB is recommended.
- Lot of temp space is required as the installer extracts first and then starts the installation.
- JDK is shipped with a few 32bit WebLogic installers but we have to manually install the JDK for 64bit.
Post Installation
Create a new WebLogic domain using the Configuration Wizard:
$ /oracle/middleware/oracle_common/common/bin/config.sh
Development Mode: Weblogic User and passwords are stored in boot.properties in Development Mode. Again, I have selected SUN JDK for Development mode.
Production Mode: It does not store the user name and passwords in boot.properties by default. You can manually create boot.properties after the Domain Creation. You may want to select JRockit for Production. The user name and password will be read and encrypted by WebLogic Server during the startup.
$ cat /oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/IDMDomain/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties username=weblogic password=mypassword $
This is a place to change the default Admin Server Port from 7001 to something else. If you have got multiple domains, you would need to change this port for all domains after the first domain. Unlike Oracle Installers, Configuration Wizard does not check for the Active Port. So we got to check that ourselves.
Config.sh does not start the services. Start the Admin Server manually.
$ /oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/IDMDomain/bin/startWebLogic.sh
Problem: WebLogic server does not start as the port is occupied by other WebLogic Server.
Solution: If you did not change the port during the installation, there is a way to change the port from Admin Console. However, this does not even start the server to go to the Console. So, we need to change $DOMAIN_NAME/config/config.xml
. /oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/IDMDomain/bin/setDomainEnv.sh
<server> <name>AdminServer</name> <listen-port>7002</listen-port> <listen-address></listen-address> </server>
setDomainEnv.sh sets up all the environment variables and Java options for the entire domain including AdminServer and all Managed Servers. If you need to change JVM Heap Size, setDomainEnv.sh is the right place for you.

Not a Good Fit
I just got these Baya Lined Crocs today and have been wearing them all day indoors. The first thing that I noticed is that while they are the right length, they are a HUGE width and very ugly. The next thing that I noticed is that they are not as cushy as the rest of my 30 pairs of Crocs. At the end of the day, my arches ached and my toes were sore from wobbling around in these really wide shoes. The only things I can say that they have going for them is that the liner keeps those doggone "massaging bumps" (whose idea was that anyway? I hate those things.) from rubbing my toes raw, and they don't have any holes down at dirt level, so you don't get dirt and sand in your shoes when you go outside.
I am very disappointed in these Crocs and would return them if I hadn't gotten them on a BOGO for 1/2 off deal. It would cost more for me to return them than they cost in the first place, darn it! I have often recommended Crocs to friends who suffer from plantar faciitus like I do, but will not recommend THESE particular ones.

Dressy Clog
My selection of this shoe in black was aided by the fact that I had tried on and bought a pair of blue ones at the Crocs store in St. Augustine. The were dressy enough to wear to a class reunion event with a suit, and were very comfortable for standing around while socializing, even though I suffer from plantar fasciitis. I told my husband how comfortable they were, and he said I'd better order another pair before they discontinue them.
ALRIGHT!! I like the way the back comes up a little higher, making them a little more stable to wear, and the aggressive, non-slip sole. They fit a woman's foot well and are not quite so "clunky" looking as some of the other clogs, though I did have to go down a size from a usual size 10 to a size 9 to get this fit. I LOVE the way the stupid "massaging bumps" are smoother in these shoes so they don't irritate my toes when I wear them without socks. I wish they would make more Crocs with smoother insoles. I like the aggressive arch support. I really like the stylish silver decoration across the vamp --- makes them a little more dressy without going overboard. The suede-look decoration on the vamp of the other colors is also attractive. They are gorgeous----and very comfortable for standing and walking, even with a painful case of plantar fasciitis. I hope they don't discontinue them, as I will buy more of this shoe.

Really Comfy
I bought my first pair of the Skylar Flats in gray at the St. Augustine, FL Crocks Store in early October. When I told the clerk that I was suffering with plantar fasciitis she recommended that I try them or the Skylar clogs. I was amazed at how cushy the insole is and how comfy they are to walk in. This purchase on-line was for an additional pair in brown, and I think I may go for another pair in black. Because of the plantar fasciitis, Crocks are the only shoes I can wear for any length of time and not be in pain. The Skylar Flat is the best looking and most comfortable of all of the 22 pairs of Crocks i own.
Love This Sandal
I have had plantar fasciitis for a while now and it is extremely painful. I found that crocs were the only shoes I could wear and still walk, so I purchased Crocs Rx Relief Clogs. As summer got hotter, I wanted a cooler, nicer looking shoe to wear with capris and shorts, and this one fills the bill. The insole is really soft, and doesn't make my heel hurt. In addition, the 2 straps across the toe are in just the right place so that they don't hurt the knuckle of my little toe. Being able to wear the instep strap around the heel is a big plus too, as it stays on better that way if necessary. I have recommended these sandals to everyone I meet who has a foot problem. Very comfortable and very cute!

My Love Affair With the Spring Truffle
Italy is lucky to have wild truffles all year round. With impatience I've been awaiting the spring truffle or the Tuber aestivum, which grows here in the Sibillini Mountains of Central Italy. These truffles grow closer to the surface than the more expensive black or white truffle that are both harvested in the autumn and into the New Year.

Sounds like the eggs that come from the white "cabbage" butterfly. Those eggs will hatch, then you will have little green worms eating up your cabbage. I guess you could dump some kind of poisonous insecticide on the plant and kill them --- I am an organic farmer, so I would never do that, and don't know what to tell you to do now. But this is one of those problems that can be prevented in the future if you know how to do it -- you just grow the cabbage under floating row cover. If you seal that cover well enough that no flying insects can get in, then you will depreive the ability of the butterfly to reach your veggie. If the butterfly can't reach the veggie, then they cannot lay their cabbage worm eggs. You might consider growing under a floating row cover next year.
You can us bt on cabbage worms. It's organic. When you cut the cabbage you should be able to peel back the leaves and be rid of the worms. If you're growing broccoli and cauliflower you'll probably find them there also. You can soak those in salt water to kill most of them. The rest will die when you cook them, but watch for them while you're eating.
I grow organically, too, and have found rotenone to be very effective on cabbage loopers, as well as Colorado Potato Beetles and Japanese Beetles. It has a faster knock-down rate than Sevin. The warnings say not to use it near water source, such as lakes or streams, and not to apply while bees are active (I apply just after the dew falls). I have trouble finding some of the controls recommended on this forum (locally), but rotenone is widely available.
Work hard, play a little, eat well.
Yep, that must be what they are because I picked some broccoli today and there were green worms. I picked them off and am soaking in salt water. Thats how I always clean stuff. No poison here! I won't use the stuff. I would rather lose my stuff than use poison. I have a smallish garden, so the loss would be disappionting, but not devastating. I will have to get floating row covers next year. It's frustrating to see all those nasty eggs. Later today I am going to cut a head of cabbage and peel the leaves back to see how deep they go. Its amazing that I have gone this long without pests. My neighbor loses her cabbage every year so I will share all of your advice with her. She is organic too. Thanks for the advice everyone! At least now I know what the little buggers are and how to prevent them in the future.
Ok, I said that rotenone was an organic compound, which is true, however I just read an article that said it has been linked to Parkinson's Disease (which scientists have long-suspected was caused by pesticides) While the US government allows its use in organic crops, I don't believe I'll be using it anymore. Here is the link, if anyone wants to read it~http://s.o.w.tripod.com/rotenone.htm
Colleen, they were NOT eggs in your brassica plants. What you are seeing is the frass, or manure, from the worms. The cabbage butterfly usually lays only a single egg per leaf. She will land on the edge of the leaf and extend her abdomen under the leaf. The egg will be tiny and white or yellow. It is usually found about a half inch or so from the edge on that under side of the leaf. If you watch a cabbage butterfly in action, and observe her in action, you will learn to recognize the eggs and destroy them before they hatch. Rotenone is the accepted method of controlling them in our local organic community gardens. Although one may find fault with that, it is one which may be targeted for a single insect pest by applying it only where needed. Others, such as bt, will attack anything and everything over a wider area. To be frugal, I watch for combination Poultry and Garden Dust. Same good stuff but half the price! Rather than everyone in the garden complex having to buy a can for only a few plants, I'm charged with protecting a few of the plots. That way I can be assured that it's not being used willy-nilly on everything. So far, so good! Martin

Are you familiar with the emotional cocktail that is composed of equal parts fascination and terror?That's how I feel about volcanoes. My schizophrenia started in college during a trip I took to Edinburgh. When I learned that Edinburgh Castle sits atop a volcano, my brain sputtered: a volcano. In the middle of a city. With a castle on top of it. Ten years later, I spent a trip to Sicily staring down a smoke-billowing Etna, in awe of its brute presence and intimations of violence. So two years ago I finally decided to tackle the beast by climbing Mount Fuji. But it all went horribly wrong: a case of altitude sickness felled me mid-ascent—and I spent a teary night in a bodies-packed hut along the trail, spooning with an older Japanese man who looked like Ernest Borgnine.
Fuji had defeated me and exacerbated my fear, and now I needed to overcome this dread. If the volcanoes of my past had been extinct or inactive, what better way to overcome my fear than to visit the world's most active one—a firebox that daily oozes between 300,000 and 1,000,000 cubic yards of lava?Two and a half million people a year visit Hawaii's Kilauea, drawn to the prospect of seeing land being born. (As we know from the Discovery Channel, it's like watching an animal birthing, only the animal in this case is Earth.) Here was my chance to even the score. Fuji be damned.
Located in a 333,000-acre national park on the southeastern edge of the island, the awe-inspiring and ruggedly beautiful Kilauea is called the drive-in volcano because paved roads allow you to traverse it by car. So, on my first morning in the park, I eased myself into the volcano-viewing experience by driving the 11-mile road that circles the roughly six-square-mile caldera, or crater—a mostly barren expanse of rock dotted with steam vents. It's big and blackish brown and mottled, the world's largest pan of burned brownies. There's no molten lava in sight here—it lurks 300 feet below the surface—and so my psychogenic state was what health professionals might call "resting comfortably." My anxiety level ratcheted up slightly, though, when I pulled my car over to see Halema'uma'u, the quarry-like and sulfur-stained 300-foot-deep crater-within-the-crater where Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, is said to live. Light breezes bodied forth a fug of sulfur; by the time I'd walked the 200 or so feet from my car to the viewing area, I felt like I'd eaten a pack of matches. The rim of Halema'uma'u is ringed with offerings to Pele that visitors have brought: leis, rocks wrapped in ti leaves, bottles of gin.
Reaching into my jacket pocket, I pulled out my own offering: a sesame-seed bagel I'd bought at a deli back home. I placed the doughy orb near the rim and whispered, "For you, Pele. From your New York son." Positioned next to the giant circular fissure in the earth, the bagel looked like a tiny echo—a Lifesaver in front of the Astrodome, or an opera diva's nostril.
Having secured this strange form of life insurance for myself, I decided the next day to go on an 11-mile hike toward Pu'u O'o, Kilauea's currently erupting vent. But to allay my mounting anxiety, first I drove a half-hour to the farmers' market in Hilo—a waterfront town whose sleepy, down-at-heel center feels Caribbean. I mostly remember the speargun store and the tzzzt-tzzzt-tzzzt sound emanating from the tattoo parlor. Although the meals at Volcano House (think hunting lodge, but with a lot of carpeting) and at various establishments in the park-adjacent town of Volcano were serviceable, my best meals necessitated trips to the farmers' market or the Hilo Bay Café. Stocked with water, a four-cheese focaccia, a butter avocado, and four kinds of mangoes, I drove back to the park's visitors center. Here I told a friendly, mustachioed park ranger in his forties that I wanted to hike toward Pu'u O'o—a name I was unable to pronounce without sounding like a debutante lamenting the death of her small dog. Handing me a release form, the ranger told me, "This is the most eruptive part of the volcano. We might get two hours' notice and need to helicopter you out of there." I signed the form; it stated that no search party would be initiated upon failure of my return. After driving 20 minutes to the trailhead, I proceeded to climb for about an hour over volcanic rock that was by turns jagged and blobtastic, then for another two hours through a lush forest of 25-foot-tall tree ferns. The excitement of getting ever-closer to the vent was like a kind of voodoo, erasing all memories of Fuji: I got to a sign on the trail reading, "Danger: Do not pass this point. Trail undercut" and kept on walking. If I told you that feral pigs are said to roam these woods, but that this fact gave me no pause, would you think me too startlingly masculine, too Mennen for Men?Anyway, what was a little tussle with angry pork compared to being encased in white-hot magma?

Jordan Shipley May Hit the PUP List…
Posted by Scott Pashley in SPIN News & Views No Comments »
Shipley will be a full year removed from a ACL tear that ruined his sophomore NFL season in September but unlike some of the players who have managed to come back more quickly than expected, such as Wes Welker, the Bengals may take it slow with Shipley. Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com seems to think that the team is leaning toward putting Shipley on the shelf for the first six games of the year because of the depth they believe they have at the position.
ProFootballFocus projects 50 receptions for 573 yards and 2 TDs or Shipley. See their WR projections HERE.
The guys at FFToday, who always do a very good job, have Mohamed Sanu ranked ahead of Jorday Shipley heading into 2012. For Sanu they project 43/549/4 and for Shipley 38/455/3. Here are their projections.
Jordan Shipley had a very promising rookie season before going down with an injury after just 2 games in his second year. If he does start the season on the PUP list then he's obviously not worth drafting, but wise fantasy owners will consider picking him up before he comes off the PUP if it's clear that the Bengals need him. Either Mohamed Sanu or Shipley will make our sleeper list entering the season, a lot of that will depend on the Bengals decision with Shipley. Considering Jerome Simpson is gone and Sanu is a rookie we think the Bengals confidence in their wide receiver depth is a bit too optimistic.
Sanu will see his fantasy stock spike if it is announced that Shipley has been placed on the PUP list and it should benefit Jermaine Gresham as well.

Gay Spa
So I'm having a book launch next week and my brother blew into town from his home in Paris to be a part of it. He arrived with his French girlfriend who somehow knows more about what's hot in Los Angeles than I do. Not that I honestly care what's hot in Los Angeles, unless it's the weather.
But I digress.
She insisted that I needed a facial and a treatment from somebody called Helga.
"A.J." - she sneered in her French way my brother finds charming but reduces me to an insecure puddle on the floor - " 'ave you ever 'ad a facial?"
She skewered me with an indignant look and I heard her muttering "Neanderthal" as she pulled out her French cell phone and tapped away with her long fingernails.
While my brother got to go out and record his music, I was dragged to an apartment in Encino where I saw a young woman limping out of the building. She whimpered as she came down the stairs.
Hot tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Miracle worker,"she breathed. I was mystified.
Another girl followed also in a seemingly injured condition. As we sat waiting our turn, I heard screams and cries coming out of the inner recesses of Helga's apartment.
"She does this treatment that if you hate to exercise, but love food, she pounds the fat out of your body," one girl told me. I eyed her in a frightened way. She was skeletal. I'm thinking she could use a sanwich, not having somebody pound non-existent fat from her body.
My brother's girlfriend rifled through pages of Paris Match just daring me to make a run for it.
Women in immaculate shape would walk in, disappear to a back room with Helga, a tall blonde woman who was muscular and sweet until she got her hands on you.
These same women would then come out limping and sobbing and PAY the woman to toss them around the room.
"I want to go home," I hollered when it was my turn.
Helga pulled me along the corridor. I could smell melons...then chastised myself for my obsession with food.
"Take all your clothes off," Helga shouted, pushing me into a room and closing the door. It was a bathroom. I took everything off and the door flew open.
"Put your clothes back on!" another woman shrieked. She seemed really freaked out. I did as I was told and when Helga returned, I was petrified by the manic look in her eye.
I wondered how many bones I would break if I threw myself out of the bathroom window.
She didn't apologize when I told her what happened. She threw a robe at me and barked at me to take everything off.
From another room, I heard an ear-piercing scream and I ran from the apartment. I mowed down a money tree in the entrance - is this bad luck?? - and I did what any sensible man would do. Gay or straight.
I went to my car, fired up the engine and blasted the horn until my brother's girlfriend reluctantly joined me.
"Neanderthal," she muttered.
Damn straight.
Aloha oe,

sigh ... AJ my love come here to me and I'll teach you how to give HER a look that could turn her into a puddle of insecure goo on the floor LOL
I really need to come hang out with you. You know some of the strangest people LOL
Good idea on the running :) - November 11, 2008 at 5:43 PM
- Nitaelf said...
First off why the hell would you need to take all of your cloths off for a freaking facial?
And Second: AJ don't you dare let that French bitch make you feel less then you are. You are one of the sweetest guys I know, and just from your pics alone, YOU DON'T NEED A FACIAL! But if you do ever want to try it by a real expert, they are relaxing and soothing.
I've only ever had one in my entire life and that was done by a student at the Beauty College here in Klamath Falls, OR. And she nearly put me to sleep it was so damn good. BUT I didn't need to take all of my cloths off to do it.
You tell Frenchy to leave you a lone or I'm comin down there to give her a French Manicure she will never forget!

PCRI is dedicated to educating patients to allow them to communicate better with their physicians. We do this via this website, our PCRI Insights newsletter, our conferences and the PCRI Helpline. Selecting the best treatment requires an educated patient. It is essential to take whatever time is necessary to understand all aspects of your prostate cancer situation before an irreversible treatment decision is made.
Key Concepts:
Most medical treatment protocols are based on information published in peer-reviewed journals. If you are not familiar with PubMed, it is a great source to search for medical abstracts. Sometimes the full text is available free online or you can purchase access to the article. It is often possible to obtain the full text version from your local library (via inter-library loan), by emailing the author, from your physician or from the library at a local hospital. You can access PubMed at: www.pubmed.gov
A few resources to help you get started:
- Start with a good reference book on prostate cancer. See our list of books by Strum, Bostwick and others under "Learning About Prostate Cancer" at: Books on prostate cancer
- You will encounter many terms that are unfamiliar to you. Most of the articles on the PCRI website have terms hyperlinked to: The PCRI Glossary: A Tool for Learning About PC
- The Internet allows interested patients and their families as well as medical professionals to have up-to-date scientific information at their fingertips. Patients can learn about the latest scientific information regarding PC and various treatment options through Internet sites that cater to the lay public. See our article: E-Empowerment
- Not all published studies carry equal weight. The clinical trials that have the greatest validity are prospective, randomized and multi-center with sufficient size and duration to eliminate the element of chance. What might surprise many prostate cancer patients is the fact that little, if any, of the evidence used to recommend treatment for localized prostate cancer achieves the status of Level I "proof". To learn more, see: Levels of Evidence – August 2009 Insights

Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Grand Marquis Transmission/Suspension
fordtransman Posts: 2Is the bolt you found a "Torx" or "star" shaped drive? It is possible that the 2 bolts that retain the shifter cable linkage bracket at the back of the steering column have come loose, and one of them fell out. Simply reinstall them with blue loctite thread locker and the correct Torx bit driver and rachet. If the bolts are verified loose, this will cause multiple concerns with the trans linkage and your ability to put the trans in park. Good luck!! (an easy repair, if you have the correct bit and a flashlight) Just follow the shifter cable up the column, be sure to set the vehicles parking brake and be on a flat, level surface. It couldnt hurt to block your tires as well!!
sts_endeavour Posts: 2My poor cars rear diff spews silvery grey goo
It's all too evident what I need to do.
I open my wallet to part with my money,
My mechanic smiles and says "Thanks again, sonny!"
But before I do, I come before you,
and hopefully will walk away with a clue.
How much cash will I need in hand
before I go to mechanicland
for a shiney new differential, and some fresh fluid too
so my car won't spew that silvery grey goo?
(in regards to a 05 Grand Marquis LS) -
datadown Posts: 1fordtransman,
My shifter was loose on my 92 Grand Marquis so today I went under the dash and found the two torx bolts you talked about. They were lose so I tightened them as best I could without the correct torx driver. In looking for the correct size of these bolts I found your post. Do you know the size? My biggest is T20, way too small.
Thanks -
puccaducc Posts: 7I have a 92' Ford Crown Vic and just recently, I noticed that my car has started tripping! It gets first and second gear fine but it hesitates and sometimes never gets out of second gear. It's an automatic transmission of course, and before I let a mechanic rape me and tell me I need all this unnecessry stuff...I wanted to get some advice on what I should try to do. I was going change the filter and fluid, but I just wanted to get some advice on the matter first.
puccaducc Posts: 7I'm trying to see what would sound good as far as a system to put in my 92' Ford Crown Vic. I was just trying to see if there was anyone out there that had my type of vehicle and had a nice sounding system that could give me some ideas as far as what size speakers, what type, and how to set up the system. Hit me up with some suggestions please!
puccaducc Posts: 7I kinda figured and hoped that was the problem. I bought it from a place and I said that I probably needed to go ahead and change the filter and fluid anyway but you just gave me confirmation as to what I was thinking. I just drove it again a while ago and it was shifting into 4th gear a little hesitantly but it was shifting so that's a good thing I guess. Thanx for the input
dannyodoul Posts: 3You should first check if the overdrive (if is equipped) is not disengaged.
If working correctly, the overdrive mode will shift first through third gears and then into overdrive.
If, on the steering wheel stalk (on the right side of wheel)
is depressed, then overdrive has been de-activated and a light denoting this (usually in green) should be displayed on the dash, indicating OD/OFF.
It is possible that you are in OD/OFF Mode, and perhaps it is malfunctioning.
Good luck diagnosing.
Sincerely, The Legendary Danny O'Doul -
puccaducc Posts: 7It doesn't have an OD button, it just has the standard display and gear shift. I've noticed that at times when I am driving it gets all the first gears smoothly but on the last gear it hesitates to get that one and when it does get it....it is when I'm going at least 45 or 50 mph when it hesitates but then slowly shifts to the last gear. If I accelerate and the speed makes a sudden change it doesn't go back to that gear....it just sounds as if I am in the previous gear. Could that be the shift sensor?

puccaducc Posts: 7Hey thanks for the info...I read the owner's manual and it states that it is a automatic transmission with built in overdrive. It states that once the vehicle reaches a cruising speed it should shift into fourth gear but that is not happening. So, I was gonna take your advice and go ahead and get the filter, fluids, and torque converter fluid changed but do you think that it would be an issue with a shift sensor?
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,350Not knowledgeable regarding the shift sensor, however, after the fluid, filter change, see how it operates.
I've two Ford O/D's each with over 110,000 miles and haven't changed the shift sensors in either, just the oil and filter change in the transmission every 30 to 40 thousand miles. -
puccaducc Posts: 7I was wondering if you could give me any insite on the windows. My motors are functioning, but the windows down let up or down and as a matter of fact they slowly but surely fall. Would that be due to the plastic teeth in the window gear kit being worn or does that have anything to do with the regulator?

puccaducc Posts: 7To all that may know....please answer this question that I am not 100% sure of. I have a 92' Ford Crown Vic. I noticed that my speedometer needle had spuratic movement so I changed the speed sensor. The sensor is electronic and does not use a cable on this model car but after changing the sensor, the speedometer is not working at all. Do I need to have the system reprogrammed and if so, will disconnecting the battery cables reboot the car's system?
uzikan Posts: 1i have a crown victoria 2008 fleet car with 62 k miles and when i drive on roadways at between 35 and 45 miles per hour when i release the gas pedal all over sudden a second or 2 later as the gas pedal goes to normal the car will show speedometer self accelerating speed goes up by itself for 1 or 2 seconds and release itself by itself my question is what can be the exact problem as i took the car to a complete computer check up there is no codes in the data and no check engine light as this car is driven about 18 hours a day it happens about every 2 days about twice a day its very scary that all over sudden the car accelerate by itself at speeds between 35 and 45 miles per hour oh by the way there is no cruise control on this car i'm first owner i did buy car new with 4 miles from a new car dealer car never had as new nor now a cruise control may some 1 please help with an idea of what can this problem be, thanks in advance for all answeres . uzikan.
dj7trypp Posts: 3Ok, so at first all it was doing was slipping in fourth after 45mph. Then it only had second gear and I decided to start overhauling the drivetrain. I have replaced both control boxes under the dash, changed the fluid and filter, checked the shift linkages and made sure the transmission was fully engaging the gears. After I put it all back together it only had first. Then it had first and second, and then even third for a short period of time. Now it's back to just 2nd and it makes a slight grinding noise in reverse. I am looking at a master overhaul kit, shift kit, and torque converter from b&m. Anyone have any suggestions?? and how do I adjust the kick-down cable??
donavan2 Posts: 2As i was approaching a sharp left turn, i released the gas and car suddenly accelerated turning close to 4000 rpm. Applied the brake and it would not slow down the car and i went straight thru [ small country road] Quickly put transmission in neutral and engine slowed to normal. Went down the about 2 blocks and turned left into a driveway and this senerio repeated it self. Drove fine after that. Can anyone help me with problem. Thank you in advance,newbie Donavan2

lincoln7777 Posts: 4Hello, I am looking to buy a 2000-2005 Crown Vic RCMP car. I have heard that they have a strickt maintenance schedule which includes engine and transmission changes. Is there a preffered KM range where one should have a new engine and/or transmission, or is it basically the lower the KM the better? Are these good reliable cars and is there anything specific that I should looking for on these cars? I have owned a 1993 Caprice RCMP car, and that thing was incredible. I sold it around 400,000 KMS for something a little cheaper on gas and even at those KMS it still ran great. I am hoping that these police cars are as durable and reliable. Thanks for any information and help.
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,350Every police car has been treated differently & run in a wide variety of ways. When you choose a low KM car, you might be getting one with an engine with lots of hours on it due to long periods of idling. To choose the best, drive them all, but if you do purchase one, change all the fluids including the pinion housing & replace with Synthetics. If you are good at the Casinos, try your luck in Regina.

25th Hour Associates focuses on simplifying the lives of its customers by providing high-quality, time-saving services and mending rifts in the space-home continuum. 25th Hour's handymen can quickly and efficiently change light bulbs, unclog drains, dispose of garbage, hang mirrors and pictures of mirrors, and install home entertainment systems. But they can also complete larger jobs in the same timely manner, such as installing garage-door openers, laying down tile, drywall repair, door installation, and booby-trap maintenance. 25th Hour's services normally cost between $50 and $85 per hour.
Lots of people have leaky faucets, but most people don't realize that their faucets could be dripping up to 3,000 gallons of wasted water each year. The teams at Roto-Rooter locations throughout the county are brimming with this type of information, absorbed over more than 75 years in business.
The company began in 1935 thanks to the ingenuity of Samuel Blanc, who patched together his first sewer-cleaning machine from a washing-machine motor and roller-skate wheels. Today, armed with much more advanced technologies, Roto-Rooter's technicians tackle a full range of residential and commercial plumbing and drain services. The technicians are licensed, insured, and available 24/7 in case of unforeseen emergencies, such as extracting a 1,500-pound tree root from an underground pipe. And though the company dates back decades, it's still forward thinking—its ROTOGreen initiative includes the installation of fixtures that meet or exceed EPA standards.
Now carrying the torch that has burned brightly—and lit furnaces—for more than 125 years, the fourth generation of Geilers continues the family's tradition of flexible, professional service in everything from heating and AC repair to plumbing. Fully licensed, trained technicians tinker with furnaces, boilers, and air-filtration systems to fix leaks, swap out filters, and test for hazardous gases, and photographic inspections of ducts help diagnose blockages such as built-up dust and portly secret agents. On call 24 hours a day, emergency plumbers rush to the scene to fix faucet and pipe leaks, repair water heaters or underground pipes, and combat low water pressure.
In business since 1928, owner Kris Knochelmann and his team from Schneller Heating, AC & Plumbing have a strong history of appliance repair and installation. Available at all hours of the day, the team of technicians performs air-conditioner and furnace maintenance, cleans ducts, and fixes plumbing problems.
The licensed and insured craftsmen at Handyman Connection each have at least 10 years of experience in solving edifice enigmas and tending to the structural integrity of domiciles. A variety of services are available for your home-enhancement convenience and range from everyday repairs and installations to larger-scale projects.

Reviewed Mini Vanilla Scones with Vanilla Bean Glaze
Nov 11, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"This recipe is wonderful! I've been asked to make these for many parties. My one bit of advice is: stick to the recipe! The vanilla beans may be hard to find, but they make the recipe VERY special. I did make some batches cutting the scones in half again to make them more bite-sized. They don't have to be glazed, they're good as is, but glazing ""

The best EDM shows in Denver this weekend
Simon Green's Bonobo project has taken chilled-out downtempo on a meandering journey through complex syncopation, sweeping strings and heavy bass lines since 1999, when he released the single "Terrapin" on the Tru Thoughts label. Since then, Green has created four full-length albums for both Tru Thoughts and the epic Ninja Tune. His use of exotic instruments such as the sitar blended with soulful, funky horns and gentle cymbals creates a soundscape reminiscent of a laid-back DJ Shadow.

After finding acceptance on the DJ circuits in Ibiza and Europe, Bonobo took a few years off from production before releasing this year's excellent Black Sands, a work that proves he hasn't lost any of his sonic edge in the interim. Bonobo's albums are sweet, hypnotic and often melancholy; his live work kicks the energy up a notch while maintaining his signature blissed-out downtempo feel. (8 p.m., 16+, $25)

Thought I'd pop in to share the felt board story we've been using the past few years for Easter. This year I've updated with the corresponding Jesus Storybook Bible pages based on Luke 22-24 & Mark 14-16. Have your child place the pieces of the story and read along using the JSB or any Bible beginning in Luke 22 or Mark 14. Alternately, you could retell the story using the condensed summary see below.
Felt Resurrection Template <—-Click to download. Print & cut then trace onto felt (colors indicated.)
Note: Felt is ideal but you could also use construction paper or cardstock. I tried to make the templates as simple as possible and interchangeable for future Bible stories. For example, the Mary template could be used for other women in the Bible and the Jesus template could be used for other male figures in the Bible. Some glue may be needed to assemble pieces.

'Our Children' Trailer: A Classical Tragedy for a Modern Era
Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 1, 2013 | Comments (1)A regular family. One with hopes and dreams and new responsibilities. One with warmth and madness. One with a reasonable peace and an oncoming maelstrom of grief. This is Our Children from director Joachim Lafosse (Private Property). It was a favorite at Cannes, our own Daniel Walber loved it at NYFF, and now it's getting a limited release in NYC on August 2nd. Fingers crossed that it finds a few other theaters as well. The trailer is dripping with prestige and promise, and there's an odds on chance that it's a name we'll be hearing more of as we slink toward award season. Check it out for yourself:
Our 6 Favorite Films of the 2012 New York Film Festival
Features By Christopher Campbell on October 20, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThis year's New York Film Festival ended on Sunday night with the world premiere of Robert Zemeckis's Flight, a big Hollywood movie that many saw as too mainstream a selection for the event. But it's apparently decent enough to currently have a very high rating on Rotten Tomatoes — our own Jack Giroux gave it a "B" in his review from the fest — so it's not like they closed things out with Alex Cross. Other big movies that some didn't see as fitting were opening night film Life of Pi (review)and the "secretly" screened debut of Steven Spielberg's Lincoln (review). However, for the most part the 2012 programming was the typical New York cinephile's dream smorgasbord of highbrow indies and foreign films. And these seemed to mainly meet the approval of our two primary critics covering them, Daniel Walber and Caitlin Hughes (both of whom are new additions to the FSR team and did an excellent job). And all together, our 22 reviews of NYFF features averaged mainly in the range of "B" to "B+" grades. And the only thing to get less than a "C" was Brian De Palma's Passion, to which Caitlin gave a "D." We weren't only interested in new works, either. Caitlin had some fun with the anniversary screening of The Princess Bride, while Daniel had requested that one of his picks of the fest be an older film: "If I can say the new (Dolce and Gabbana funded) restoration of Satyricon that made its […]
NYFF: 'Our Children' Is a Quiet Tragedy of Expertly Wrought Tension
Movie Reviews By Daniel Walber on October 15, 2012 | Be the First To Comment"Bury them in Morocco." Our Children opens with a scene of despair, a mother (Émilie Dequenne) on a hospital bed deliriously asking her nurse if the bodies of her own daughters can be laid to rest on the far side of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a moment of primal fear and desperation. It is not, however, a moment of clarity. There is no context to be had; only the image a woman on a bed and the following shot of Tahar Rahim and Niels Arestrup running down a hallway. It is director Joachim Lafosse's opening salvo in a quietly violent film that will both assault and deeply move its audience. And then, just as quickly, there is tranquility. The film rewinds back to a simpler time in the lives of its characters, when Mounir (Rahim) and Murielle (Dequenne) had just begun their romance. She is a schoolteacher. He is a restless young Moroccan immigrant who will soon agree to a job in his adoptive father's medical practice. Dr. André Pinget (Arestrup) not only looks out for his protégé, but lives with him. He has effectively adopted Mounir's entire family, and is even married to Mounir's sister so that she can legally live in Belgium. Pinget's influence over Mounir is powerful, even a little unsettling.

AbstractThe Museu de Antropologia e Pré-História Mendes Corrêa at the Museu de História Natural of Faculdade de Ciências do Porto, which origin go back to the beginning of the XX century, has a collection that is largely unknown to a majority of the general public and even to academics. Nevertheless it has contributed to innumerable research works and has also been displayed at exhibitions both in Portugal and abroad. The permanent exhibition consists mainly of archaeological collections and is organised in chronological order enabling visitors to examine pieces ranging from prehistory to Roman times. At the storage facilities, which cannot be visited, are preserved Portuguese and foreign anthropological, archaeological and ethnographical collections, numismatics and a substantial photographic and documentary archive(Cunha 2007, 198). This project comprises studies that happen particularly in constitution of the collections through the identification and register of the objects, the history of the diverse collections; the evaluation of the state of conservation, considering the means adjusted to the effective control of the ambient conditions, such as light, temperature and the relative humidity; organization of the spaces and the collections; and the put into context the collections through its musealization valuing its function and place in the exhibition speech.

"Mad as Hell: Rise of The Young Turks" is a documentary that follows Cenk Uygur's transformation from an unknown conservative talk show host on Public Access TV to a progressive internet sensation with his show "The Young Turks," which has amassed over 800 million views on YouTube. On a self-imposed mission to speak the truth, Cenk attempts to fix the fundamentally broken system of politics and media in America, thus attracting a loyal audience and building the largest online news show in the world. Once Cenk ventures from the internet into national television and secures the 6 PM slot on MSNBC, his uncensored brand of journalism is compromised and Cenk becomes the nexus in the battle between new and old media.
DEAD DAD is a feature film created by friends. It was shot in the greater Los Angeles and San Diego areas over the course of one month.

Pies fly and elders die in this offbeat dark comedy presented in four short episodes - Pot Rot, Porn & Cigarettes, A Perfect Pan of Piping (hot) Pot Pie and The $#*!. Gary's Garden isn't your ordinary rom-com-horror-action-musical-Mormon-gardening flick. Ya dig?

There is voter fraud going on today, only it's not the kind Republicans keep clamoring about. The real voter fraud is the coordinated, national GOP campaign to disenfranchise voters who favor Democrats from participating in state and federal elections. This campaign shows no signs of abating – indeed, the two main combatants for the GOP nomination are both embracing it:
As Republican primary voters head to the polls in Florida on Tuesday, both GOP front-runners have endorsed a policy that would contradict existing law and could disenfranchise millions of voters across the country.
During a recent debate, both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney supported getting rid of bilingual ballots when the topic was brought up by the moderator. "I would have ballots in English," Gingrich said. "And I think you could have programs where virtually everybody would be able to read the ballots." Romney agreed. "I think Speaker Gingrich is right with regards to what he's described," he said.
That wasn't much of a stretch for Gingrich, who once called Spanish "the language of living in a ghetto." Yet their glib demand for English-only ballots would require amending the Voting Rights Act and doing away with hard-won legal requirements that have existed for decades. It's a sharp turn away from the Bush administration, which despite a spotty civil rights record filed more ballot access cases on behalf of non-English speakers than any administration had before.
"We used to have poll taxes, we used to have whites-only primaries, we used to not let women vote," says Myrna Perez, senior counsel with the Brennan Center's Democracy Program. "Policies that would make our ballots less accessible to Americans based on what language they speak would be at odds with that historical arc towards expanding the franchise."
I'm curious to hear Gingrich or Romney explain how cutting non-English speakers out of the political process altogether will result in more Americans speaking English. What is and is not the "official" language of the United States is a sideshow designed to deliver the GOP its resentment-motivated base, while preventing certain core Democratic constituencies from voting for the opposition — it's a non-serious answer to a serious problem.
Meanwhile, not to go all Tom Friedman here, but the current generation of American school children are growing up in a world where they have many inherent advantages over the global competition, but at least one serious disadvantage — they are not bilingual. Instead of demonizing spanish speakers we should be working to ensure our children are learning foreign languages the same way they learn English.
Coincidentally, the New York Times is debating this very issue on its Opinion page.

Jimmy Eat World
- Being dumped by their record label in 1999 may have been the best thing that ever happened to these guys. Since then they have broken through to the mainstream.
- Once on their own, they did a self-promoted tour of Europe using the van bought for them by the record company. They had never had records released anywhere but the United States.
- In 2000, they played Germany's two biggest festivals, Bizarre and PopKomm, and in 2000 their 1999 album charted there. That helped raise money for future recordings.
- Based in Tempe, Arizona.
- Signed to Capitol Records in 1995 after a mere few months of playing locally.
- Their debut album, Static Prevails, sold only 10,000, but it's just gone up from there.
- "Jimmy" is Linton's younger brother, who had a weight problem. Adkins' younger brother drew a picture on Jimmy's door of him putting a globe in his mouth, and wrote on it "Jimmy Eat World." That's how they got their name.
