BOX 8-1 The use of a "split ballot" experiment embedded in a large-scale national survey enables researchers to draw inferences about the general population of responders to surveys with samples that are larger and more diverse than the student population in a typical laboratory experiment. Gilens (1996) used such an experiment within a sample survey to examine whites' racial attitudes and views about welfare using data from the 1991 National Race and Politics Study. The survey respondents were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: Half were asked about their beliefs regarding black welfare mothers and half about their beliefs regarding white welfare mothers. Under the assumption that the two groups are interchangeable—guaranteed (on average) by randomization—a difference in the evaluation of welfare provides an estimate of the degree to which race coding may be implicated in white opposition to welfare. The results showed that whites viewed black and white welfare mothers similarly but had more negative views of black welfare mothers when considering policies on welfare. As in laboratory experiments, there may be a difference between responding to questions in a survey and acting in a discriminatory fashion in settings that affect others. Yet as Gilens demonstrates, determining how such attitudinal differences relate to behavioral differences (such as differences in political choices) is important. |
dated measures of the occurrence of unequal treatment (see Smith, 2002). The most valuable of these items measures the level of discrimination experienced by individuals or the level of discrimination experienced by particular groups or venues. Questions about the overall level of discrimination without regard to personal experiences, groups, or venues are probably too general to be of much use.
Smith (2002:14) notes that "many of the questions on intergroup relations in the holdings of the Roper Center or on the GSS provide important information on the state of intergroup relations and help one to understand the context and causes of discrimination, public support for policies to combat discrimination, and related matters." However, relatively few surveys attempt to measure the incidence of discrimination directly at either the individual or the collective level. Smith continues: "Given that only a mod-

People who bought a home in Southern Chase with an FHA loan arranged by Beazer Mortgage paid higher prices on average than other buyers in the subdivision.
The contrast was sharpest with the prices of 28 homes bought with loans insured by the Veterans Administration. The price of homes bought with Beazer FHA loans averaged 6 percent higher per square foot than the VA homes, adjusting for the year of sale.
The prices have not held up.
In 2006, Cabarrus County assigned a lower tax value than the original sales price to two-thirds of the 229 homes purchased with Beazer FHA loans. The county assigned lower values to only a quarter of the 177 homes purchased with other kinds of loans.
Appraisers validated the higher prices.
Lenders rely on appraisers to confirm a property is worth at least as much as the mortgage loan. That protects the borrower and the lender: If the borrower can't pay, the home can be resold to pay the debt.
Intentionally overstating the value of a home on an appraisal is illegal.
When Beazer arranged an FHA loan, it hired the appraiser. But for VA loans, the appraiser is assigned by the government. That helps to ensure the lender doesn't influence the appraiser's opinion.
A Davidson appraiser, Elizabeth Smith, said she worked regularly for Beazer. She said she appraised 15 homes in the neighborhood in 2003, but she was not sure how many homes she appraised in earlier years. Beazer arranged 16 FHA loans in Southern Chase in 2003, records show.
Appraisal documents are not public records, but the Observer obtained a complete appraisal signed and stamped by Smith from a Southern Chase resident. It was reviewed at the Observer's request by Bob Ipock, a Charlotte-area appraiser who reviews other appraisers' work for lenders. Ipock, a state-approved appraisal instructor, has testified before the N.C. General Assembly that he believes appraisal inflation is a major problem.
Ipock documented two factual misstatements and also procedural problems, which he said raised the value of the appraised home. For example, Smith cited the sales price of a similar home as evidence of the appraised property's value. The price she quoted is 7 percent above the price listed in county records for the only sale of the same home.
The appraisal also misstates the description of a second home.
Smith said the first mistake was a typographical error. She said she meant to cite another home in the same subdivision. She said she was confident the second mistake was fixed.
Smith declined to identify the address of the other home, and the Observer could not identify any property that matched her description. Smith also declined to explain why both errors appear on a final appraisal provided to the home buyer, or why, if any corrections were made, they did not affect the appraised value shown in FHA records.
Smith said she is confident her appraisals are accurate and fair. She says she was never pressured by Beazer to raise home values, and never would have done so.
"I stand by my appraisals," Smith said. "They were underwritten. They met legal standards. They met FHA standards."

This answer is correct. Greater number, larger size, more rapid growth, and atypical locations characterize molluscum lesions in HIV-infected persons who have advanced immune suppression. Systemic complications, however, do not develop, even among HIV-infected persons with severe immune suppression.

The Order of Australia is an order of chivalry established on 14 February 1975 by Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia, to recognize Australian citizens and other persons for achievement or for meritorious service. Before the establishment of the Order, Australian citizens received British honours.
The Order is divided into general and military divisions, with the following grades in descending order of seniority:
Contents |
The Order was established on 14 February 1975 by letters patent of Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia, and countersigned by the then Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. The original Order had only three grades: Companion (AC), Officer (AO), and Member (AM).
On 24 May 1976, the further categories of Knight (AK), Dame (AD), and Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) were established by the Queen on the advice of Whitlam's successor, Malcolm Fraser.
Following his 1983 election, Prime Minister Bob Hawke abolished the Knight and Dame categories. On 3 March 1986, the Queen co-signed letters patent revoking the category of Knight or Dame. Existing Knights and Dames were not affected by this change.
The Queen of Australia is Sovereign Head of the Order[4] while the Governor-General is Principal Companion and Chancellor of the Order. The Governor-General's Official Secretary is Secretary of the Order.
The Order of Australia is modelled closely upon the Order of Canada. However, when compared with the Order of Canada, the Order of Australia has been awarded rather more liberally, especially in regard to honorary awards to foreigners. To date, only 18 non-Canadians have been appointed to the Order of Canada, while more than 275 non-Australians have been appointed to the Order of Australia, with more than 30 to the "Companion" grade.
The Order consists of four grades and a medal, in both general and military divisions. Knight/Damehood of the Order was made in the general division only.
While State Governors can present the Officer, Member and Medal of the Order of Australia to their respective state's residents, only the Queen of Australia or Governor-General can present the Companion grade of the order.[5]
The different grades of the Order are awarded according to the recipients' levels of achievement:
General Division - 'Eminent achievement and merit of the highest degree in service to Australia or to humanity at large'.
Military Division - ' Eminent service in duties of great responsibility'.
Excluding honorary appointments, no more than 25 Companions are appointed in any calendar year.
General Division - 'Distinguished service of a high degree to Australia or to humanity at large'.
Military Division - 'Distinguished service in responsible positions'.
The quota is set at 100 Officers appointed in any calendar year.
General Division - 'Service in a particular locality or field of activity or to a particular group'.
Military Division - 'Exceptional service or performance of duty'.
The quota is set at 225 Members appointed in any calendar year.
General Division - 'Service worthy of particular recognition'.
Military Division - 'Meritorious service or performance of duty'.
There are no quota limits on awards of the Medal of the Order.
Any person may nominate any Australian citizen for an award. The nominations are reviewed by the Council for the Order of Australia,[6] and then approved by the Governor-General. The Order is awarded twice annually: on Australia Day, and on the Queen's Birthday public holiday in June, when public announcements are made about new awards.
People who are not Australian citizens may be awarded honorary membership of the Order at either the Companion, Officer or Member level. All awards of the Medal of the Order are substantive, regardless of the citizenship of the recipient.
Appointments to the Order are not made posthumously; however, if a nominee dies after accepting an appointment but before the relevant announcement date, the appointment still stands and it is announced as having effect from no later than the date of the nominee's death.
The badge of the Order of Australia is a convex disc (gold for AKs, ADs and ACs, gilt for AOs, AMs and OAMs) representing the Golden Wattle flower. At the centre is a ring, representing the sea, with the word 'Australia' below two branches of golden wattle. The whole disc is topped by the Royal crown of St Edward. The AC badge is decorated with citrines, blue enamelled ring, and enamelled crown. The AO badge is similar, without the citrines. For the AM badge only the crown is enamelled, and the OAM badge is plain. The AK/AD badge is similar to that of the AC badge, but with the difference that it contains at the centre an enamelled disc bearing an image of the Coat of arms of Australia.
The star for knights and dames is a convex golden disc decorated with citrines, with a blue royally crowned inner disc bearing an image of the Coat of arms of Australia.
The ribbon of the Order is blue with a central stripe of golden wattle flower designs; that of the military division has additional golden edge stripes. AKs, male ACs and AOs wear their badges on a necklet; male AMs and OAMs wear them on a ribbon on the left chest. Women usually wear their badges on a bow on the left shoulder, although they may wear the same insignia as males, if so desired.
A gold lapel pin for daily wear is issued with each badge of the Order at the time of investiture; AK/AD and AC lapel pins feature a citrine central jewel, AO and AM lapel pins have a blue enamelled centre, and OAM lapel pins are plain.
The Order's insignia were designed by Stuart Devlin.
The category of Knight (AK) or Dame (AD) of the order was created by Letters Patent issued by Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia on 24 May 1976 on advice from the Fraser Liberal-National government and was discontinued by her on 3 March 1986 on controversial advice from the Hawke Labor government (the Australian Labor Party does not support the awarding of titles)[citation needed]. Existing knights and dames were not affected by the removal of the category from the Letters Patent.
During this period, twelve knights and two dames were created, of whom ten of the knights and both of the dames are now deceased.
This is a complete list of the knights and dames of the Order of Australia. It is shown in order of appointment; living knights are shown in bold:
Name | Known for | Date of appointment | Date of death | |
Sir John Kerr AK GCMG GCVO | Governor-General 1974-77 | 24 May 1976[7] | 24 March 1991 | |
Sir Robert Menzies KT AK CH QC | Prime Minister 1939-41, 1949-66 | 7 June 1976 | 15 May 1978 | |
Sir Colin Syme AK[8] | Industrialist | 6 June 1977 | 1986 | |
Sir Zelman Cowen AK GCMG GCVO QC | Governor-General 1977-82 | 8 December 1977[9] | 8 December 2011 | |
Sir MacFarlane Burnet OM AK KBE | Immunologist, Nobel laureate | 26 January 1978 | 31 August 1985 | |
Dame Alexandra Hasluck AD | Historian | 6 June 1978 | 18 June 1993 | |
Dame Enid Lyons AD GBE | Politician | 26 January 1980 | 2 September 1981 | |
HRH The Prince of Wales KG KT GCB OM AK QSO CD PC | Royalty, Heir apparent | 14 March 1981 | living (age 63) | |
Sir Roden Cutler VC AK KCMG KCVO CBE | Soldier, Governor of New South Wales 1966-81 | 7 April 1981 | 22 February 2002 | |
Sir Garfield Barwick AK GCMG | Chief Justice of Australia 1964-81 | 8 June 1981 | 14 July 1997 | |
Sir Charles Court AK KCMG OBE | Premier of Western Australia 1974-82 | 14 June 1982 | 22 December 2007 | |
Sir Ninian Stephen KG AK GCMG GCVO KBE QC | High Court Judge, Governor-General 1982-89 | 29 July 1982[10] | living (age 89) | |
Sir Roy Wright AK | Physiologist | 26 January 1983 | 28 February 1990 | |
Sir Gordon Jackson AK | Industrialist | 13 June 1983 | 1 June 1991 |
In December 2010 The Age reported a study of the educational backgrounds of all people who had received Knight/Dame and Companion level awards at that time. It reported that "An analysis of the 435 people who have received the nation's top Order of Australia honours since they were first awarded in 1975, shows they disproportionately attended a handful of elite Victorian secondary schools. Scotch College alumni blitzed the field, with 19 former students receiving Australia's highest honour".[11]
On 26 January 1980 recipients of awards in the Order formed the Order of Australia Association. This organisation seeks to aid the members of the Order in their pursuits related to the development and maintenance of Australia's culture and traditions. The organisation also attempts to increase awareness of those honoured by the Order, since many of their number are not household names, despite their contributions. Branches of the Association can be found in all the states and territories of Australia.
Awards in the Order of Australia are sometimes made to people who are not citizens of Australia, to honour extraordinary achievements. These achievements, or the people themselves, are not necessarily associated with Australia, although they often are. On 11 July 2010, the Australian Honours website listed appointments for 34 Honorary Companions, 67 Honorary Officers, 86 Honorary Members of the Order of Australia and the award of 88 Honorary Medals of the Order of Australia.[12] Notable honorary awards include:
Prince Charles was appointed a Knight of the Order (AK) on 14 March 1981. As he is not an Australian citizen, this would have required the award to be honorary. To overcome this issue, his appointment was created by amendment to the Constitution of the Order of Australia by special Letters Patent signed by The Queen. Hence, the Prince of Wales is a full member in the General Division, not an honorary appointment.[14]
The award is parodied in the play Amigos, where the central character is determined to be awarded the AC, and uses persuasion, bribery and blackmail in his (ultimately successful) attempts to get himself nominated for the award.[15]
During the 1996 season of the popular television programme Home and Away, the character Pippa Ross was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for her years of service as a foster carer.

Tebow is Number 2
Posted by Erik Manassy on May 29, 2012 in Main, Media, News | 0 comments
Tim Tebow is number 2. You have been hearing that he is going to be the 2nd QB going into the 2012 season but I'm not talking about the depth chart in this story. Tebow has the 2nd most selling jersey in the NFL. Are you surprised? It's nice to have a Jet in the top 10, even if it is Timmy. Off the top of my head, I want to say the last time the Jets had a guy in the Top ten was in 2008 when he signed that #4 guy…
Tebow had the No. 2-selling jersey in the league from April 1 to May 28, according to NFLShop.com. He's the only Jets player in the top 25, and only two Giants made the list — QB Eli Manning (No. 5) and WR Victor Cruz (No. 18).
Here's the top 10:
1. Peyton Manning, Broncos
2. Tim Tebow, Jets
3. Robert Griffin III, Redskins
4. Andrew Luck, Colts
5. Eli Manning, Giants
6. Aaron Rodgers, Packers
7. Patrick Willis, 49ers
8. Tom Brady, Patriots
9. Cam Newton, Panthers
10. Troy Polamalu, Steelers

The study also finds that black male infants less than 4 months of age are most affected by ASSB, for reasons Shapiro-Mendoza said are still unclear.
But what is known is that parents can take steps to reduce the chance that their baby will die from suffocation or strangulation.
"We recommend room sharing instead of bed sharing," said Laura Reno, vice president of public affairs for First Candle, an organization devoted to parental education. "[Parents need to] learn how to create a safe sleep zone, making sure babies sleep in a separate space on their back, on a firm mattress, free from any soft bedding."
She added that if parents do not want to sleep too far away from their baby, they can place that safe sleep space right next to their bed.
"It will protect [the baby] and promote breastfeeding," Reno said.
Dr. Suresh Kotogal, a professor of neurology and a pediatric sleep specialist at Mayo Clinic, agreed.
"[This study] will fuel interest in this area again," Kotogal said. "[Safe] sleeping environments need to be emphasized by all primary care physicians and at the time babies [are] going home from the hospital."

Southern Miss has had great success coming out of these big recruiting weekends. Every prospect coming out of their trips to Hattiesburg have raved about the time they have had.
Gordo, AL defensive lineman Greg Howard is no different. He is finishing up his recruitment, and had nothing but great things to say about Southern Miss.
"It just feels like a great welcoming environment," he said. "Everyone feels like family, and when I met the players it was just like I was one of them."
"They really took me under their wing," he added.
As always, the coaches had a direct impact on the weekend. "The coaches were straightforward with me," he said. "They didn't beat around the bush, and I really liked that."
"Overall, it was the environment that I really liked."
Howard said Ross Smith was his host for the weekend, and that he is not sure yet about where he may land. "I have not decided yet," he said when asked about his commitment status.
"Southern Miss has not offered me, but I feel that is a place I'd definitely like to play," he said, also mentioning Troy and Auburn as possible destinations.
Would he consider walking on at Southern Miss? "That is certainly an option," he said. "I will have to go home, talk about it, pray about it, and see what happens."
Howard said he'll have a decision before Wednesday.

Although all those higher end gaming and other high graphics laptop are launched every day, there is still a market for medium budget laptops with just basic features required for some basic function. Dell Inspiron 1545 is one among those and is best appreciated by most school students, as it fulfills all their demands. What features matter most for students? A large screen and more storage space right? Dell has exactly given those sacrificing high graphic adapters, so that they can be sold at a medium price. Although we appreciate that Dell has made it possible available at such a price, we are still wondering if the Dell Inspiron 1545 battery would be enough for daily tasks. The Inspiron 1545 battery clocks just three hours, which is a bit of a worry. The Dell Inspiron 1545 adapter (graphics component) also adds to the woes of bad battery life. The battery performance is discussed below in details. A point worth mentioning is that the laptop is also called as the MTV laptop as it sponsored the MTV music awards 2009. Design: Weighing at almost 6 pounds, it is not the heavy laptop or the opposite. Saying this, it sits right in between mainstream laptops and desktop PCs. The laptop features a 15.6-inch display, which is colorful and vibrant. The display can support a maximum resolution of 1366 x 768p. Dell did not fail to give it a glossy finish, which runs all around the keyboard except for the display and keyboard. The fingerprint issue is a point worth worrying but many out there do not consider it as an issue. Performance and Connectivity options: With a dual core processor under the hood, it clocked 2GHz speed. The Dell Inspiron 1545 adapter is impressive. The Nvidia CUDA works pretty well, despite the lack of a dedicated graphics card. The laptop has one of the worst battery lives with just three hours squeeze time. Adding to the woe, the CPU features a TDP of 35 watts, which means, Dell has clearly not built it as an energy efficient device. Dell has utilized all three sides of the laptop. The ports are all neatly arranged on the sides. It is good that the headphone and the microphone jack are upfront which makes it easy to access. The front portion is also utilized to for the car reader slot. At the sides are three USB ports, mini HDMI output and the Ethernet slot. Except for one USB port, all other are located towards the left side of the laptop. We have mixed feeling about the keyboard as well as battery for Dell Inspiron 1545. The feedback of the keys is not satisfying. The keys although having big enough, the straight laid design are what annoy us. Touchpad on the contrast is however satisfying. It supports multi-touch features and offers perfect resistance. We like that Dell allows us to customize the up down, left-right scroll area. The presence of multi-touch features also confirms that we can zoom in to web pages with just a pinch of the finger. Conclusion: Although Dell launched it as an entertainment laptop, its design and features clearly indicate that it can be best utilized by the students and can be used for nominal home purposes. If you could adjust with the bad Dell battery and the keyboard, it would be a good deal for you. We manufacture and directly export from our factory and pass on the saving to our clients. We boast brand new replacement laptop batteries for most of the top brands of notebooks, such as DELL Inspiron 1525 Battery. We own more than 400 various models or laptop batteries in stock and offer the perfect service to our overseas customers.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Softening a subject skin smoothes out any remaining imperfections and makes the subject look more pleasing overall. I've done a lot of retouching on this image which is now face_7.psd, and that means I have a lot of different layers here in the Layers panel. I'm going to soften this model's skin by applying a filter. I want to be sure to impact all of the different changes that I've made to the image so far. So I'm going to make a composite layer of all of the layers below and apply the softening filter to that composite, because a filter can only affect one layer at a time.
So I hold down the Option key on the Mac or the Alt key on the PC and I'll click and I'll choose Merge Visible, and that adds a layer above the top layer, which I had selected. The new layer I'm going to rename soften by double-clicking the layer name, typing in a new name, and pressing Return. I'm going to go to the Filter menu, and from there I'm going to convert the soften layer for Smart Filters. I like to use Smart Filters because when I do that, I can always come back in and reedit a filter.
This is telling me that the layer is going to become a Smart Object and that's okay, and now you'll see the Smart Object symbol on to the soften layer. Now I'll go back to the back to the Filter menu and I'm going to apply a Filter called Median, which is located in the Noise group. Filter > Noise > Median. In the Median dialog box, I'll choose a radius, which controls the strength of this softening effect. This looks like too much to me. Let's see how looks at 3. Still quite heavy. Let's try 2. I think I am going to go back to 3, exaggerating things, because I want to be sure that you can see it on your screen, and I'll click OK.
Now you can see that there is a new Smart Filter layer on the soften layer with the Median filter applied. By the way, there are other filters you could use to blur the image other than the Median filter. I like this one, because it blurs while retaining a little bit edge detail. Other possibilities are the Gaussian Blur filter or the Dust and Scratches filter. Now that I've applied this filter, I'd like to limit the areas where it appears on the image. To do that I'm going to use this layer mask that comes with the Smart Filters layer. I'll click on that layer mask.
Currently the mask is white, meaning you can see the filter everywhere in the image. Then I'll get my Paintbrush, I'll make sure the foreground color is set to black, and I'm going to come in and paint over the areas that I do not want to affect with this blur, in particular the eyes, and as I paint I'm bringing them back by hiding the Smart Filter in just these areas. I'll paint over the eyebrows, which I also want to be not blurry, and I might try the lips as well, and maybe just a click or two at the tip of the nose.
Now I want to blend this entire blurred layer in with the texture of the face underneath. So I'm going to go to the Layer Blending Mode menu here and I'm going to choose Lighten blend mode. In some cases, another blend mode might look just as good. You can try the Darken blend mode, but this one looks good on this image, and it brings a little bit of texture back into the face while retaining the smoothing almost glowing effect of the blur. So that's how you would soften a model's face. Applying a blurring filter like this not only makes the skin look smoother, it can also add a glow to the subject, which I think is the perfect finishing touch for any portrait.

St Minver (Cornish: Sen Menvra) is the name of an ecclesiastical parish, a civil parish and a village in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
The civil parish of St Minver is in Bodmin Registration District and is nominally divided into St Minver Highlands (to the north and east) and St Minver Lowlands (to the west).
The combined parish is bounded on the south and west by the estuary of the River Camel, on the north by the Atlantic coast, and on the east by the parishes of St Endellion and St Kew.[1] The population of the parish in the 2001 census was 2,474 (St Minver Highlands 1025; St Minver Lowlands 1449)
The principal villages in the combined parish are the churchtown of St Minver, Rock, Trebetherick and Polzeath. Other settlements include Tredrizzick, Penmean, Splatt, Porthilly, Pityme and Trevanger.
St Minver village is centred on a small square at the crossroads of two unclassified roads. It is situated 3 miles (5 kilometres) north of Wadebridge a few hundred yards west of the B3314 Wadebridge to Delabole road.
The village of St Minver and its surrounding area is dominated by the tall spire of St Menefreda's church (the parish church) named after Saint Menwreda (variously St Mynfreda or St Minefreda, the origin of the present day name St Minver) who was one of the 24 children of St Brychan, a Welsh king. In the church is the brass of Roger Opy, 1517.[2]
There are two other churches in the parish, both in St Minver Lowlands.
- St Enodoc church is situated between Rock and Trebetherick at grid reference SW 931 772. It was built on towans (coastal sand dunes) in the fifteenth century and gradually became buried by the shifting sands. It was restored in the 1860s and now stands incongruously in the middle of a golf course. John Betjeman, the former poet laureate is buried in the churchyard.
- St Michael's church stands on the south shore of Porthilly Cove, an inlet of the River Camel just south of Rock, at SW 936 753. This church was also substantially restored in the 1860s.
Quaker Meeting House and burial grounds[edit]
There was formerly a meeting-house in this parish, with a cemetery belonging to the Quakers. The walled Quaker burial ground at grid reference SW 955 778 near Treglines was used between 1665 to 1742 and twenty-eight burials are recorded.[3] The ground contains no headstones only trees. A small biographical tract was published in 1709, entitled " A Narrative of the Life and Sufferings of John Peters, a quaker, "who was buried in the quakers' burying ground at St Minver on 7 July 1708:[4] this person was steward to the Carew family at Roserrow.[5] The walls of the burial ground have been listed by English Heritage.[6]

Caravan/Voyager Accessories & Modifications
I need a hitch for my van, for simply attaching a bicycle carrier. The hitch needs to have either 1 1/4 or 2" opening. Any ideas for a good one? Very preferably, it will be fairly lightweight.
racingvan Posts: 2I have heavily modified my 94 voyager. it now has a 3.0 DOHC v6 twin turbo from a mitsubishi 3000 gt vr4. it is rated at over 300+hp. now that i have completed the drivetrain mods, i am trying to find the "convert-a-bed" rear seat to replace my original rear. i have found that this option was very rarely ordered, and it is hard to find used once (actually impossible so far). does anyone out there know of a company that sells these or if not the whole seat, a conversion kit to convert my original seat? I have loads of fun "destroying" the competition with a voyager. It is the ultimate embarassment to get your butt whooped by a minivan, especially when your driving a corvette. (i've done this twice so far). but i also use this van to camp and travel. any help would be appreciated!!!

jerrycari Posts: 3Recently I purchased a Dodge Caravan SE, without a roof rack. I think I would like to have one now, but don't know how to go about it. Any suggestions? Also, I am wondering if putting a rack on will greatly increase the chances of water leakage. By the way, what I want to do is haul a kayak.
Gerard -
pacosan Posts: 7I had a '97 Caravan I use to haul a kayak on it's roof rack (just bought a new '07).
I use foam bumpers attached to roof rack cross members to rest my kayak and never had any problems or rack/kayak breakage (my kayak weights some 50# ).
I don't think you will have any problems with water leakage, since rack mounts in roof channels designed for this.
You may find a new OEM roof rack at DodgeParts.com, or better yet , you may get a lot cheaper OEM rack at your local junkyard.
Hope this helps. -
pacosan Posts: 7I had a similar problem on my 3.0 V6. The tensioner spring relaxed and the main belt started slipping. I bypassed the tensioner by removing the pulley an installing a 1/2" shorter belt.
It worked fine... But be aware... Seen cases where too short a belt was used, inducing oil leakage at the crankshaft o-ring seal, cause the rubber o-ring have worn old, lost flexibility, hardening at the "relaxed" position. Also, this may happen with a new stronger OEM tensioner. It all depends on the car's age and your luck! But once this happens, you will have to replace the ring!!!
I can only guess that a worn 3.3 develops less "give" at the crankshaft o-ring.
Best of luck!

Why did you decide to have Lexi ultimately side with her human family, rather than use her powers for the Espheni's cause?
It just seemed like the show's always been about family first. I said when I was initially meeting with everybody about it, "It's a family drama writ large." Before you say it's sci-fi, before you say adventure, before you say action show, you say family drama, and it all emerges from there. So I feel like for Tom and Anne to have this daughter, I didn't mind putting them through hell and punishing the characters as ruthlessly as I could possibly think of, but I certainly felt that in the end we should continue to believe that family is the most important and most critical weapon and sort of ideal that fuels the show and Tom Mason. I just didn't want to see their daughter turn out to be something profoundly evil. She can make mistakes — she even killed somebody. But in the end, she opts for a choice that serves our larger theme of family.
What happened to Mira, the reeducation camp girl? Was she still alive on the ship when Lexi flew it into the Espheni power core?
I gotta imagine so. You didn't really see her except that she sort of scooted away. From my standpoint, because she was on that ship when the ship completely immolated, we've gotta assume that Mira is no more.
Let's talk about another character death — why did you decide to kill off Lourdes and kill her in that way?
Lourdes seemed perfect because she's likable, and also because between the eye worms from season 3 and her assassination of the president to her shifting to Lexi's side, clearly the character had a bit of a screw loose or a bit of a weak constitution when it came to influence, so I guess on that level she seemed like a fun one to kill too.
[Seychelle Gabriel] and I had a number of discussions about it, and of course she was upset and not happy 'cause she really loved doing the show. The most important thing for me was to make sure she knew it wasn't a cliche of "you're killing off characters because you don't like the actor." She was really one of my favorites in the cast. It was really hard. I can think of a thousand things I would have loved to do with Lourdes, but on the other hand, if all you do is kill extras, no one cares after a while.
I know before Lourdes' death, the show was getting some criticism that all the main characters in this ensemble cast seemed indestructible, that the Masons especially were escaping death too easily again and again.
I wasn't aware that that was a criticism, but to me, it seemed natural and obvious that when you're doing a war show, you gotta every year basically pick somebody and kill them. In sci-fi, in a war drama certainly, if you don't kill somebody meaningful and important from time to time, it starts to ring a little hollow. Certainly everyone involved in making an ensemble show with any kind of violence, anybody who saw the "Red Wedding" episode of Game of Thrones was inspired by that.
Fans are still waiting to learn why the Espheni really invaded. Is the answer to that question pretty much the same as it was when former showrunner Remi Aubuchon left the show, or have you expanded on it at all?
Remi and I know each other. Remi was involved in co-creating Caprica. So he and I have actually created a show together, and we spend a lot of time together. I had several conversations with him about the show and about that question. I would say we've taken the essence of the idea that was there from the beginning about what motivated the Espheni to invade, and we've now not just added to it, but reformulated the show to support a more specific take on the original idea, which is what any show would do as you got closer and closer to the end. You have an idea of how it ends, but you start lining up the specifics and making little tweaks and changes and asking, "What if this was really the secret reason behind the reason?" All kinds of subtext and layers can come into play, which is fun, and which I think the audience is sort of expecting. If if we just said, "They need our water," the audience would say, "Bullsh–."
What other teases can you give us about why fans should be excited for season 5?
The tease I will leave them with is that whatever reason they think is behind the Espheni's invasion is absolutely wrong. And I'm really excited about the depths that we're going to explore in the culture of the Espheni this coming final season.

This is my favourite...
Verified Purchase
This is my favourite drawing pen. I like it so much better than the Micron. The
tip is a lot more sturdy, and I've been using it daily for weeks. I'm
heavy-handed too, which usually causes problems when I use felt tip pens. The
Uni pin pens I've used through the years never get tossed because of a bent,
split, or short tip; these always run out of ink, and it's usually after three
months give or take. The ink is a nice dark black, very waterproof, and my
sketches from four years ago haven't faded or anything. I'd keep buying these
forever if possible!

After using the Alpha...
After using the Alpha gel tints for a while, my hands have been pretty
comfortable, but I still decided to buy the slim version because of how nice it
looked. The glossy purple, metal accents, and creamy grip convinced me. It's not
my favourite pencil, or even one I use pretty regularly. I guess I just don't
like how it feels when I write with it, even though the grip's not hard. It
works fine and everything, but I just never took a liking to it.
January 5, 2014
This was my first, and...
This was my first, and at the moment, only 0.3 pencil. I'd been curious about
them for some time, and thought why not try one out and I'm glad I did. I've
been using it with Uni Nano-Dia B grade lead, and it's been nice to write with.
The lead has never broken once, and that's coming from someone who's been called
heavy-handed many times. I didn't buy it because of the cooling effect it's
supposed to have. But if that's the reason why I did, it would only get three
stars from me because I don't notice any difference between the AirBlanc and a
regular pencil. My hands still get sweaty when I use it. But it works good as a

Verified Purchase
It's definitely not pretty or girly if that's what you're after, but despite the
fact that it's not a looker, I still find myself using it over some of the
fancier pencils in my pouch. It's very comfortable to write with over long
periods of time. I used it to write a two page essay and my hand didn't cramp or
get tired. The side click is pretty useful if you don't want to change your grip
and go through the trouble of finding the angle you were writing at. The colour
is a nice garnet red, but I wish I'd gotten it in blue.

I happened upon this...
I happened upon this pencil a while back, but it got stolen in school, along
with the rest of my pencil case. For the short while I had it, I really liked
it. It's got a good weight to it, and the grip isn't too wide for me. The bright
colours are what caught my eye, and they look really stunning in person. The
shaker mech works well, and I love the retractable tip because it lets you store
it wherever you want. It's a great pencil, worthy of addition to anyone's

I used to use these in...
I used to use these in school a long time ago, and they are one of my least
favourite erasers to work with. It's one of the hardest kinds, and it leaves
ugly smudges on the paper instead of erasing things completely. I don't know how
in the world someone erased an entire page of work leaving no marks at all. I
really like the white Pentel hi-polymer erasers you can get at Staples or Office
Max in the US. They erase so much more cleanly than the Mars plastic.

This is my absolute favourite pink pen---the shade is one-of-a-kind, closer to
red than pink but still very bright. The ink is smooth, and lasts down to the
very last drop without any skippage whatsoever.

I bought these in blue, green, pink, orange, and this color, and they're pretty
vivid and bright. They write well, 'juicy' like someone said, and it's nice to
write with them. But the tips of the 0.6 side dent significantly after writing
only a phrase or two.

These paper clips are too cute for words! The dog shape is so cool! They aren't

If I could give these...
If I could give these pens all five stars I would, but they have a major flaw
that I can't ignore: the tips dent way too easily. I'll admit that I write with
quite a bit of pressure, but still, I dropped one once when I was using it and
the tip split in two. I was so mad! Another time, I used it to write only half a
page and the tip got shorter and slanted because of the angle I was writing at
with it. The only real way to solve this problem would be to write with as
little an angle as possible, and that's hard. I bought these when I was little,
but I really regret replacing them!

White Hot Miley Cyrus Strikes a Pose in Rio (PHOTOS)
Blame it on Rio!
Fresh off her bikini romp on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, Miley Cyrus is back to being fully clothed as she attended a photo call before her concert on Friday evening. The 18-year-old superstar was all smiles in a white mini as the cameras flashed away.
Just the day before, she was seen with her mom Tish, and a group of friends while frolicking on the sand.
When you're traveling the globe on a tour, you've got to mix in fun somewhere, right?

Sonora, CA â November 2010⦠Stewart Audio, manufacturer of the finest quality American made power amplifiers and audio equipment for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications, is pleased to introduce the new IntraSound Audio System. Leveraging the benefits of CAT-5 cable for the transmission of both signal and power, a Class D Micro amplifier with selectable gain, the ability to daisy chain multiple hubs and nodes for system expansion, and ENERGY STAR compliance for efficient operation, the new IntraSound Audio System facilitates flexible system design and easy installation. The IntraSound Audio System is the perfect sound reinforcement solution that can be managed by corporate IT departments and school AV staff in addition to professional installers. With its rich feature set and the ability to function as a conventional 70-volt distributed system, the new IntraSound Audio System is ideally suited for classrooms, boardrooms, lobbies, corporate offices, and as a superior sounding alternative to conventional 70-volt distributed systems.
The IntraSound Audio System consists of two components: the IS-HUB4 IntraSound 4-Port Hub (the primary system component), and the IS-AmpNode-10 amplifier node. The IS-HUB4 incorporates four RJ45 ports for audio and power, RCA or 3.5 mm stereo inputs, and an included 60W, UL-rated external power supply (an optional 90W external power supply is available for larger systems). In addition to stereo audio, each of the four available ports supplies up to 20 watts of power via CAT-5 cable to the connected IS-AmpNode-10 amplifier node(s). The IS-HUB4 is Plenum rated and is designed to provide convenience and installation flexibility above the ceiling or in other environmental air spaces.
With its compact form factor, highly efficient class D design, and adjustable power output, the IS-Amp-Node-10 amplifier node easily converts any speaker into a powered speaker. The nodes can be daisy chained to other nodes to expand the system and each node can output Right, Left, or Mono audio. The IS-AmpNode-10 enables one to assemble an audio system that is perfectly suited to the size and typical usage of the space. Of particular note, the IntraSound Audio System can easily mimic a conventional 70-volt distributed system, but without the frequency loss inherent in such systems. As many as 20+ nodes can be interconnected, providing exceptional flexibility in terms of system design.
Brian McCormick, Chief Marketing Officer for Stewart Audio, commented on the companyâs new IntraSound Audio System. âOur new IntraSound System re-defines the landscape for installed sound reinforcement in a broad range of applications,â? states McCormick. âSince each port on the hub can supply upwards of 20 watts, anywhere from 1-16 loudspeakers can be attached. Hence, a full 4-port system can be significant in size. With the nodeâs ability to define Right, Left, or Mono output, the system not only provides excellent sound quality for classrooms and meeting spaces where video playback equipment is deployed, it also provides superior sound quality for conventional background music/paging systems. As CAT-5 cable is used to carry both signal and power, it eliminates the potential for interference that can arise with twisted pair cable and it is also a familiar item with IT and AV personnelâthus making the process of configuring a sound reinforcement setup far less intimidating.â?
In addition to individual components, Stewart Audioâs new IntraSound Audio System is available as a system package. Model description and pricing are as follows:
IntraSound System Packages MSRP Price
IS-20W System: IS-Hub x 1, IS- AmpNode x 2, IS-SP4 speakers x 2, PS-60W power supply x 1. Includes two 10W amplifiers $349.
IS-40W System: IS-Hub x 1, IS- AmpNode x 4, IS-SP4 speakers x 4, PS-60W power supply x 1. Includes four 10W amplifiers
Individual Components
IS-HUB-4: 4-port hub without power supply $179.
IS-AmpNode-10: node amplifier (10W) â mono or stereo $69.
PS-60W: 60W, 24V power supply for IS-Hub $55.
PS-80W: 90W, 24V power supply for IS-Hub $79
IS-SP4: one pair of 4-inch ceiling speakers $85.

(loved the Atlanta/Lake Burton setting), since lived in Vinings, spending weekends at Lake Lanier...and holidays at Lake Burton! Have read all his books and looking forward to his new release-Unwritten. You will want his the entire collection of his work to pass along to your children!" Charles is one of my favorite authors and everything he writes is a winner!" When Crickets Cry by Charles Martin; (5*) I love inspirational books but I do not being preached at. When I began this book I expected it to be a good story but I got much more than I bargained for. This book is one of the finer pieces of fiction I have read this year. It was so compellingly and beautifully written that I found it difficult to put down. This one will tug at your heart strings and make you look a little deeper into yourself; look at your life a bit differently. Perhaps make you count your blessings a bit more. I know I have. The story is about Reese, a man with trying to get away from his past. And it is about a little girl who needs a new heart. Reece meets her as she is selling lemonade at a street stand to earn money to help pay for her new heart. The people of the community know her and her story and are good to come and buy her lemonade. They become friends. It starts out so innocent and sweetly that you are taken for a ride along through this southern community and and before you realize it you are so deep into the story that you want to remain immersed in it. Reese lost his wife tragically and hasn't been able to find his way back to life's mainstream. His budding relationship with this little girl helps him to find his way out of the darkness in which he has been living and reminds him that life does continue on ever so sweetly and tartly just like a lemonade. When Crickets Cry is a beautiful testimony to one man's return to the faith that things can again be good and beautiful. I am happy to have found another author to read and recommend. I highly recommend this 5-star read of a book! It's a love story. No, I don't mean of the romance genre, though there's romance in it. It's a LOVE story -- with a lot of heart, literally, and on many other subtler but profound levels. It's a book, that in one story, paints a picture using the palette of the human condition -- of our ability to love, to alienate, to forgive, to punish (ourselves or others), to hope, to be frustrated, to have closure, and to begin anew. It's a story that will move you to tears or make you choke up, because something in you *will* resonate with the story, associating with one or more of the characters in the book. If you feel nothing (I don't mean that you share the same sentiments as I do for the story), if this story does not touch you in some way, read it again, for you really need a change of heart. Good story, a bit religious but heartwarming story. In order to add drama to the story the main character who was a heart surgeon left his extremely ill wife alone for 20 hours a day, everyday, while he was being a very important physician. What??? And we the reader are supposed to feel sorry for this "great" guy for all he has gone through. no reviews | add a review

Google Penguin Updates
SEO has been buzz this year with the latest update from the Google and it is named as Penguin. Penguin came on the tail of the latest Panda update. Google Penguin updates are launched on April 24 this year. According to the Google Blog, Penguin is an important algorithm change targeted at web spam. This change will decrease the rankings of the sites which violate the Google's existing guidelines related to the content publishing. Google mentioned that a site with black hat SEO for the link generating in concern of keyword stuffing would get a trouble. Link incorporating irrelevant outgoing links would also cause penguin to flag a site. Sites affected by this change would not be easily recognized as spamming unless deep and through analysis or expertise. But the common thing is that these sites are doing more than white hat SEO, we believe they are engaging with web spam tactics to manipulate search engine rankings. Unfortunately, Google has not yet outlines that which signals are picking by the Penguin. So many site owners that were negatively impacted are in dark for their wrong onsite SEO. Site owners should check frequently their webmaster account for the purpose of any messages from Google warning about your past spamming activity and potential penalties.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Shares of Martha Stewart Living surged to a two-and-a-half year high Wednesday after Kmart agreed to purchase Sears in a deal that could greatly expand the distribution of the home decor maven's signature brand.
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (up $3.20 to $20.60, Research) shares jumped 15 percent to a trade around the $20 level after the two retailing heavyweights announced the $11 billion merger. The last time the stock had touched the $20 level was in mid-May of 2002.
The stock had seen a strong run before the Kmart-Sears merger as Martha Stewart decided to serve her jail sentence before a court ruled on an appeal in her obstruction of justice case and reality TV show producer Mark Burnett agreed to make a show based on Stewart.
Even as Martha Stewart serves out her five-month sentence in a West Virginia prison, her namesake Everyday brand has remained a fixture at Kmart (Research), which emerged from bankruptcy protection in May 2003.
Analysts expect the new company, Sears Holdings, will provider shoppers a mall-based, low-cost option to leading retailers Wal-Mart (Research) and Target (Research).

1 dead, 5 injured in car crash
Seneca Falls, N.Y. - Leonard Fabian, 28, was pronounced dead at the scene of a car accident Friday evening.
According to the Ontario County Sheriffs Department the Baldwinsville resident was the backseat passenger in a vehicle that was struck at the intersection of county roads 4 and 20 in the Town of Seneca around 6 p.m.

Very easy to make, and not too expensive. I'm not that great with a lathe. I tried it a couple times but not too good. So I buy my table legs online through osborne wood company. These legs however, came from an old table that I got for free from an antique store. The rest of the table got cut up and used for 2 night stands, and this is what I used the legs for. I used pocket holes to attach everything. Support the middle with cross supports and there you have it. The benches are just 1x12x8's cut into shape and supported by 2 1x4's on either side.

Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland and Beyonce aka Destiny's Child "Say Yes" to reunion in new music video. Watch inside.
It was no secret that the group Destiny's Child had its rifts, but the most notorious of their quarrels were claims that Beyonce's father, who was also the group's manager, played favorites towards the budding young starlet. These allegations caused tension amongst the ladies and might have been caught on tape!
After watching their biopic last night, I'm convinced that TLC is the best girl group of ALL TIME.
One fourth of the original founding girl-group members of Destiny's Child, LaTavia Roberson, gave birth to her first child, a girl, last week (Aug. 21).
Kelly Rowland is ready to take over the summer, and she's getting a little help from Destiny's Child! But first, she had to release some negativity and hurt that she held in for too long! Watch the video and listen to the new song "You've Changed" inside.
Destiny's Child is one of the biggest girl groups in music history and perhaps deemed as the queens of R&B. Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams are not only known for their effortless harmonies
R&B diva Kelly Rowland is excited about her collaborative song with Beyonce and Michelle Williams for her upcoming album, 'Talk a Good Game.'
Beyonce is preparing an exciting performance at the 2013 Super Bowl in February. As we previously reported, Bey will reunite with her Destiny's Child songbirds Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Now the trio's set list for the event has been revealed.
Beyonce's halftime show at Super Bowl XLVII has scored a major coup in the form of a performance from Destiny's Child. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams will reunite with the R&B mom at the biggest football event of the year.
Beyonce is trending right now! As she should be. From the release of her sexy GQ Cover shoot, to the announcement of her performance at the Presidential Inauguration. But it is word that she is back together with Destiny's Child that really got folks going. Details inside.
