This guide includes images from and suggestions for discussing and writing about the Tseng Kwong Chi Collection at the Center for Creative Photography. Its content complements study in many subject areas, including social studies, language arts, art, photography, American studies, Asian-American studies, architecture, geography, and history. Suggested issues include: the definition of national identity and stereotyping of ?outsiders;? how art forms are influenced by popular culture; and the ?truthfulness? of a portrait photograph. Related topics include: portraiture and self-portraiture in different art media; the many ways in which we outwardly express our nationality; and a comparison of the artist?s portraits of famous places to our own travel photographs.

Washington Capitals right winger Eric Fehr, who just last season played, was released, and then was brought back by the Caps, appeared in his 300th career Washington Capitals game and made it count. He scored the go-ahead goal in the third period to help the Caps prevail over the New York Rangers 3-2 after he was robbed for a goal in the second period due to video review.

Caps can't win shootouts without home ice advantage
Posted on 13 Dec 2013 by Brendan Keelan.
One of the reasons the Caps have been as successful as they have been is because of their good performances in shootouts. Coming into tonight their record in shootouts was 7-2 overall but the two shootout losses they have are on the road. This game wasn't any different for the Caps as they lose another shootout on the road, this time to the Florida Panthers, losing by a score of 3-2. The shooto...

I have two different varieties of rabbiteye blueberries growing in containers. This will be their 4th fruiting season. Last year, I had great fruit set but all the blueberries on both bushes tasted like nothing, no matter how long I left them on the bush to ripen. Should I be thinning out the fruit at all? I included a photo of the slightly smaller of the two to give an idea of the size of the bushes. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Rabbiteye in general aren't known as the best tasting blueberry. The only one I've heard good reports on is Brightwell. Overcropping will lower the sweetness and taste. On my southern high bush I usually remove about 30-50% of the fruit especially on ones like Jewel and Emerald that overset. Your bush is rather low in vigor. If it had more growth it could sweeten up more fruit. There are many threads on here about improving growth. In pots they need regular fertilizer. You might want to try some SHB varieties like Springhigh, Snowchaser, and Sweetcrisp. I think you will find them more tasty and they are well adapted to Z8. They do bloom earlier than what you have and may need protection on those cold spring nights. |

Thanks! Brightwell is one of the varieties I have. I can't remember the name of the other one. I just got whatever they had at Lowe's that year, and from what I remember all they had were rabbiteyes. I'll try removing some of the berries and see how that goes and if it doesn't help, I guess I'll be shopping for some high bush varieties. |
My rabbiteye are also pretty bland. I planted two more plants last year - Legacy and Chandler. Legacy didn't produce last year, but I got about a dozen berries from the Chandler. They are supposed to produce the world's largest blueberry, but mine weren't that big. However, by far the best blueberry I've ever eaten. Kind of a tangy sweet taste. Might be one to check out. |
- Posted by blueboy1977 TX9A/B (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 22:22
Just my two cents but I believe Rabbiteyes either need to be in a big pot or in ground for best results. They have a very large root system and need room to be productive. I had several 4-5 year old Rabbiteyes that were 6ft tall and 6ft wide and that's after pruning all the canes to 3ft after fruiting every season just to keep the size in check. They would have been well over 12ft tall and wide after 3 seasons if I didn't prune them hard. The fruit seemed to get better with age for me. Brightwell was good from the get go and Bluegem, Woodard and Beckyblue got better by year 3 and year 4 were actually a pretty decent berry. None compaired to a good SHB though! |

Hello gang. Quick question - I have several hoyas and epis that were purchased from HD (Exotic Angel). They are great hanging baskets, but look a little worn out and it just dawned on me that they are now going on 3 years in the original container and the potting mix is most likely exhausted. Do you think I can use the same container and replace the soil? I dont want them to get much bigger - should I also cut back stems since I might have to trim roots. The epis aren't terrible, but any ideas on the hoyas - the leaves and stems are so tightly packed in there, I am not really sure if I can get my fingers in between to replenish the soil. Most of my houseplants just get placed into bigger and bigger pots, but I kinda like the style and size of the pots these plants are in. What do you guys do? Suggestions appreciated. |

- Posted by plantomaniac08 8 (My Page) on Wed, May 25, 11 at 10:22
Personally, I would repot them in a larger pots to give them more "breathing room" (among other positive factors that can come with repotting) not to mention I'm not sure that by keeping them in the same pots, you will be able to replenish the soil as well as you would by putting them in new pots. I'm not sure about trimming back the stems, I've never owned a hoya or an epi (although I drool at the sight of both in bloom) so I can't really provide any advice on that regard. |

10 And they shall make an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. | 10 "Have them make a chest of acacia wood--two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. |
11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. | 11 Overlay it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it. |
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet thereof; and two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. | 12 Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. |
13 And thou shalt make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. | 13 Then make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. |
14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, wherewith to bear the ark. | 14 Insert the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest to carry it. |
15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. | 15 The poles are to remain in the rings of this ark; they are not to be removed. |
16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. | 16 Then put in the ark the Testimony, which I will give you. |
17 And thou shalt make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. | 17 "Make an atonement cover of pure gold--two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. |
18 And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shalt thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat. | 18 And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. |
19 And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof. | 19 Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. |
20 And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. | 20 The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. |
21 And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. | 21 Place the cover on top of the ark and put in the ark the Testimony, which I will give you. |
22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. | 22 There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites. |

The Rogue arrived somewhat quietly on the scene in late 2007 and has remained an afterthought for many people. Still, it's a solid entry in the cute-ute class, and a surprising 77,000 U.S. consumers purchased Rogues in 2009 (and after six months, the car is on pace for even better 2010 sales numbers). As opposed to competitors like the Ford Escape and the Honda CR-V, the Rogue's design takes more of a tall-station-wagon approach than a mini-SUV slant, which is a refreshing change.
It had been a few years since I'd driven a Rogue, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much room there is in the back seats and the cargo area. After driving a cramped Dodge Caliber the previous week, I felt like I was in a Rolls-Royce when I tried the Rogue's back seats.
As Evan pointed out, the Rogue is no sports car, but its steering is direct (though numb) and body roll isn't as extreme as I expected. Power from the big 2.5-liter four-cylinder is certainly adequate, and the CVT is well suited to this application. The sub-$24K price is also quite respectable. I must note, however, that I thought the driver's seat felt pretty flat and somewhat uncomfortable (our test car had manually adjustable cloth seats). Also, FM radio reception was really poor compared to most of the cars I driven recently.

Best Dressy Sweatshirts For Holiday Parties 2012
When Two (Style) Worlds Collide, You Get These 10 Dressy Sweatshirts
We'll tell you this right now: this is as close as you'll get to wearing your sweats to a party. Seriously. In the same vein as other punched-up loungewear, you get the best of both worlds. Let's be clear, though: this is kind of a harvest-moon situation. Yes, you can don these dressy sweatshirts year-round, but we find that these ultraembellished, lace-covered, bejeweled, and feathered iterations make the best statement during the holidays. Instead of opting for a festive cocktail dress, go with something that's fun, eye-catching, and that basically solves all your styling problems in one go. There's a 3.1 Phillip Lim sequined, colorblocked top (pictured here) that we're betting even the sportiest styler will fall for, but if you're not one for the sparkle, don't sweat it. We've got more subtle metallic foiling and houndstooth print where that came from. Ten, to be exact. Now, all that's left to do is add a slick pair of black trousers and pumps — or a pencil skirt, if you're feeling sexy — and you're ready to hit the holiday party circuit.

GUARDaHEART Invited To State Capitol In Sacramento To Support The California Master Plan For Heart Disease And Stroke Prevention
SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- GUARDaHEART, a non-profit foundation committed to raising awareness about Heart Disease prevention, held a heart health event on March 20, 2013 at the State Capitol hosted by Assemblyman Don Wagner, R- Irvine and Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R- Dana Point to celebrate the State of California's Master Plan for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention and Treatment.
The special event took place at the State Capitol, where medical doctors and staff were on hand to perform heart risk assessment tests for all Capitol staff and legislators. Douglas Harrington, MD, and CEO of Aviir and Americo Simonini, MD, Cardiologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center spoke about how this new blood test MIRISK VP™ may help save lives. After 10 years of research at Stanford University this new blood test is now available. The doctors used this as an opportunity to showcase lawmakers how simple the new MIRISK VP™ testing procedure is, and how quickly individuals can now be evaluated for potential heart risks.
"I am honored for the opportunity to present the new MIRISK VP™ test, a groundbreaking test developed by GUARDaHEART's research partner, Aviir Inc., by studying heart disease patients whose risks had gone undetected by usual testing methods," said Assembly Member Don Wagner, R- Irvine. "Heart disease takes the lives of hundreds and thousands a year. Developing innovative methods to detect and prevent heart disease is a bipartisan priority."
About the MIRISK VP™ Assessment The Aviir MIRISK VP test was developed out of research performed at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Researchers identified seven key proteins associated with the biological processes underlying formation and rupture of vulnerable plaque, which is the number one cause of a heart attack. MIRISK VP was shown to effectively measure these proteins in a patient's blood up to 5 years prior to an ensuing heart attack or unstable angina. Aviir's scientists developed sensitive multiplexed assays as well as a proprietary algorithm to detect those key proteins in an individual's blood and combines them with additional clinical risk factors to generate a more accurate 5-year risk score assessment for coronary heart disease (CHD). In an independent study, the MIRISK VP algorithm was shown to reclassify intermediate risk individuals as actually belonging either in a high or low risk group, significantly improving risk stratification (net reclassification index of 43%). By identifying patients who are actually at high risk, MIRISK VP assists physicians in developing effective treatment plans and implementing preventative measures to reduce the risk of a heart attack when they can be most beneficial. When used in conjunction with additional clinical information, MIRISK VP's easy to understand risk score for a 5-year horizon may motivate improved patient compliance with therapeutic lifestyle changes.
About Aviir Aviir was founded in 2005 by cardiologists and scientists from the Stanford University School of Medicine to focus on discovery, development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic tests. The company specializes in developing proprietary diagnostic tests that assist in identifying patients who are most at risk of a cardiac event, but who may be unaware of their true risk status. Aviir's proprietary MIRISK and MIRISK VP assessment tests objectively identify, by a simple blood draw, individuals who are at a high risk of a cardiac event over the next five years. Aviir's CLIA-certified laboratory ( Irvine, CA) complements these novel tests with a wide range of additional testing options for risk assessment and therapeutic monitoring of cardiovascular disease and related metabolic disorders – including pharmacogenomic and genetic tests. The company has adopted a unique clinical laboratory service model to provide physicians better diagnostic tools that improve the cardiovascular health of their patients. The company is privately owned and funded by leading life science venture capital firms. Please visit www.aviir.com for more information. About GUARDaHEART GUARDaHEART is a non-profit foundation dedicated to raising awareness of Heart Disease prevention by spreading the word to guard your heart and save your life. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. The good news is if individuals know their risk and take the necessary steps, most cardiovascular disease can be prevented and reversed if detected early. Although heart disease is typically diagnosed in adulthood, its roots are often found in childhood. Compelling research has shown that plaque buildup in the arterial walls begins very early in life and progresses throughout life. Intervention strategies and healthy lifestyle modification to reduce heart disease risk should begin early when reversal of the process is easier, not later in life when the disease is more developed. GUARDaHEART Foundation also provides assistance for individuals who are unable to pay for cardiac risk assessments. Please visit www.guardaheart.org for more information.

Staying at the Princess Anne Hotel was the highlight of our wedding anniversary celebration in Asheville. The staff was so friendly and helpful, the suite was beautiful and comfy and the food was wonderful! We will definitely stay here again!

We came to the Princess Anne for our honeymoon in Asheville, and we loved it. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, our room was beautiful and clean, and the food was delicious. Definitely a great experience and the first place we will stay when we return to Asheville. Its proximity to downtown Asheville was convenient and easy. We stayed one night at the resort down the road because everyone told us we had to be there, but once we checked in, we immediately wished we'd spent another night at Princess Anne.

Princess Anne Hotel provides a very attractive fusion of a vintage hotel and a charming bed and breakfast. The staff is small and very responsive and helpful as hosts. Breakfast offered a rotation of attractive choices for all dietary needs. Staff were also able to accommodate individual (Reasonable) requests. The afternoon reception was a perfect way to close a day of hiking and sightseeing. They hotel is placed in a peaceful and charming neighborhood. On top of all this parking is free and access to downtown Asheville and the Biltmore is both quick and easy. We hardly recommend you considering this hotel for your stay.

We enjoyed our stay and were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations, breakfast and afternoon tea. The only down side was that when the bathroom was cleaned the smell of the tile cleaner lingered throughout our stay. We would definitely go back.

We are so glad you were delighted with your visit and enjoyed wine and hors d'oeuvres as well as our gourmet breakfast! We take pride in our cleanliness and apologize that the aroma was strong, we will be sensitive to that in the future. Please return on your next visit to Asheville!

We had a wonderful stay at the princess Anne Hotel. Location was central to downtown yet very quiet. The staff was so helpful and gracious to our two small boys.

My husband and I were in town looking at real estate and chose to stay at the Princess Anne based on other travelers' reviews. Its location was ideal for us. We were amazed when we arrived to find a real jewel--the staff were gracious and helpful, the amenities were fabulous, and room couldn't have been more charming. We enjoyed wine and hors d'oeuvres on the deck in the afternoons and met other interesting guests. We've stayed at many hotels and B&Bs, and this was the perfect balance--privacy if and when you wanted it and the opportunity to meet other travelers. We will definitely be staying here again!

An absolute charming stay with such a friendly staff. The rooms were spotless, especially the sheets and towels and I'm very picky about where I put my tired body, honest. The afternoon drinks and hor'devours were fabulous as well as the breakfast the next morning. I would recommend this place to anyone.

This is a quaint B&B has an amazing staff and accommodations in a quiet neighborhood only 5 minutes from downtown Asheville - you can event bike there (very bike friendly city). Wine and hors d'oeuvres at 4:30 and breakfast was amazing! Plus we had mimosas while waiting for breakfast. Staff is truly friendly and helpful and care about your stay. Room was clean, quiet and very comfortable. Some reviews mention the beds, but our was perfect and slept great. We had a room on the third floor in front of the elevator and stairs and it was surprisingly quiet. Weather was amazing and sat outside on side patio and front patio. Will definitely be back on our next trip and highly recommend this hotel.

Nestle's Nespresso brand is known for its espresso-centric line of at-home brewers. In an attempt to appeal to folks who also like coffee, it recently launched VertuoLine, Nespresso's very first single cup espresso and coffee maker. Nespresso is targeting premium brew fans with its proprietary selection of barcoded "Grand Cru" coffee and espresso pods. At $299, VertuoLine machines aren't cheap, but they do offer superior design and usability, and Nespresso's signature crema layer that makes your daily dose of caffeine feel a bit more gourmet. Overall, though, this machine didn't yield significantly better coffee than what you can find from other, less expensive models and coffee pods. Still, if you're interested in a machine that strictly makes coffee and espresso, VertuoLine is a very good option.
Design and features
Nespresso's VertuoLine comes in chrome, black, or red. The machine has a retro vibe that I really like, especially since other models we've tested offer function, but very little character. The VertuoLine measures 8.32 inches wide by 11.91 inches deep by 11.93 inches tall, about the same as a standard K-Cup machine. It weighs 10.8 pounds, has a mid-sized 40-ounce water tank, and a 14-pod capacity disposal bin.
It offers three adjustable cup heights to accommodate small espresso cups, standard coffee mugs, and larger travel mugs. The machine defaults to 1.35 ounces for espresso and 7.77 ounces for coffee, although you can customize these settings to anywhere from 0.3 ounces to 17 ounces. A single button controls the entire coffee maker, and you can adjust the settings via a combination of different button presses. A latch at the top locks the pod into place and releases it smoothly into the disposal bin after it brews your drink.
VertuoLine takes 15 to 20 seconds to preheat. During the brewing process, the pod spins rapidly due to Nespresso's trademarked Centrifusion Technology. That tech is supposedly what creates the decadent crema layer of foam. VertuoLine will automatically power down after 9 minutes.
A sample pack of capsules come with your purchase, so you can taste test the various blends for yourself. And if you tire of plain espresso, you can add Nespresso's Aeroccino+ milk frother into the rotation for lattes, but that's it as far as accessories go. From here, the features are a bit of a disappointment. The VertuoLine is only compatible with Nespresso's own coffee and espresso capsules.
You can't add your own coffee grinds, you can't add a filter to make plain hot water for tea, and you definitely can't use another brand's coffee capsules in this machine. Nespresso designed its pods to ensure that. Each one is branded with a barcode that the machine scans to determine the specific brewing instructions. That's a pretty severe limitation when some other single-serve coffee makers come with so many accessories and brew options.
Take the $159.99 Bunn My Cafe MCU. It's smaller at 11.3 pounds and measuring 13.5 inches wide by 9.2 inches deep by 16.5 inches tall. It's also extremely versatile, offering a hot water attachment for tea or oatmeal, a pod attachment for tea bags, a third attachment for ground coffee, and another attachment for K-Cups or other coffee capsules. While it doesn't have a pod disposal bin, has a smaller 14-ounce water reservoir, and looks pretty utilitarian, it feels very durable and it can make pretty much any warm beverage imaginable.
Both the $179.99 Keurig K75 Platinum and the $149.99 Keurig Vue V700 have larger water tanks, but they are also bulkier, heavier, and flimsier than the Nespresso VertuoLine. The $149 Starbucks Verismo 580 measures 8.2 inches wide by 14.8 inches deep by 16.4 inches tall. It weighs 8 pounds has storage space for up to 10 coffee pods and a 33.8-ounce water bin capacity. Like the VertuoLine, it's limited to its own proprietary coffee and espresso pods. It looks very sleek from the front, but it's a very long machine -- 14.8 inches deep -- and that makes it look really awkward on a countertop.

Why are all TFT monitors widescreen? I want to get rid of the last of our CRTs, but would like to stick with 4:3 where possible, especially on those PCs which are driving projectors. Also, I conscious of the aesthetic effect in the IT Suites if some of the monitors are 19" WS and the older ones are 17" regular.
I can buy a 19" WS for £90, but would need to spend £107 if I want it 4:3 (which seems odd to spend 20% more on something which is smaller).

As a person who seeks to keep liver clogging fats to a minimum. I thank you for this recipe.
Yes, it's lighter than Mom's...but it lacks in taste. Maybe casseroles are not supposed to be "light"
It may be lighter than Mom's, but it tastes just like I remember from childhood (a good memory). Nothing special and not worth the trouble. I thought the flavor of thyme was predominant and would suggest reducing the quantity added.

Suzuki Vitara Maintenance and Repair
vitara4me Posts: 35Hello everyone. I called Suzuki of America corporate office to discuss my ongoing issues and I was told by a rather rude individual to "pound sand". In other words, Suzuki said that there is no way that they will buy back my vehicle, or give me another vehicle. :lemon:
Oh really? You sure about that? :lemon:
Well, I have found a very nasty Lemon-Law attorney that has dealt with Suzuki before, and told me to start looking for my next car, because Suzuki is at fault, and is liable for my loss. :lemon:
I'm sure glad I took pictures and documented everything, including all my warranty repair invoices, showing miles and date/time in service. I even recorded all my phone calls to Suzuki of America and all the dealerships I have dealt with. (four Suzuki dealerships in my area have gone bankrupt and shut down). I now have to drive 35 miles to the nearest dealership. :lemon:
I'll let you know how it turns out. :lemon:
Regards, Vitaranot4me :lemon:

tklovell Posts: 1I have a 2000 Suzuki Vitara that has developed two strange problems. 1st is it will not go into reverse. The second is electrical. The car sat for a while but when I tried to start it nothing happened. I changed the battery and still nothing, not even dash board lights or brake lights.Any advice?
cob Posts: 210The brake fluid is low so when you turn it moves to the side in the fluid reservor opposite where the level sensor is and makes the light come on. Check the level, but just remember it is a closed system and you should never have to add fluid unless there is a leak somewhere. The fluid goes down as your brake pads wear but, never below the level that sets the sensor off.
troyan Posts: 9My 2002 Grand Vitara is experiencing little or no heat. This is something new because it always had heat. The Rad is full and the overflow tank is at the normal running line hot... The local parts stores say the thermostat is an OE only part. This vehicle is 6 years old!!!!... How can something like a thermostat be a Dealer item only? Maybe it's not the thermostat?... I need help AND heat....PLEASE
grouse Posts: 1Don't know if you've been answered but - it has timing chains (2) not belts and they don't (shouldn't) need replacing at 62K. If you change your oil when it gets dirty - short trips do this- they should last at least 125k. Squeaky serpentine belts seem to be the nature of the beast, I changed mine recently around 60k and 5k later when I start it they squeak. It was the same with my 90, 95, and now my 03. They are pretty good vehicles but I can't brag about the dealers. My local one is a crook. Gluck.
ncjen Posts: 1My 99 GV 2x2 is ideling rough. Has 70K miles, have had for 5 years and had no previous problems. I do hear the timing tensioner rattle, but from what I understand it's a thousand I can save if I just put up with the noise. Any suggestions on what this roughness problem could be?
Thanks -
branwenw Posts: 3I have an '02 Grand Vitara. Recently took it to the mechanic to diagnose distinct ticking on the front passenger side of the engine. Was told it was the timing chain, that there are three, and anwhere from $800-1600 to fix. Under warranty, so took it to the dealer. They replaced the timing chain. 8 days later I'm back at the dealer, this time the ticking is coming from front passenger and driver side of the engine. They replaced the tensioner. All is well until the next morning, very distinctive ticking from the front center part of the engine. Drove it back to dealer. They now tell me this is normal for the age of my car and it's the valves and will go away when the car heats up. I asked how long that takes and was told a couple minutes. Well, I drove it to the dealership which is 45 minutes away, and when I got it there both the service manager and the mechanic at that point told me it was the timing chain, but the service manager I've been dealing with tells me this is no problem.
dlll Posts: 1Twice I had the problem with my 99 Vitara. On the control lever behind the dash the connectin has a very weak plastic ring/clip. It breaks easily. The first time the clip was replaced with multiple clips at a dealership. They lasted three years. This time I had the repair done with metal clips which were welded (non-dealership service). Hopefully your problem is as minor as mine. Just annoying.
chriscameron Posts: 1Wal-Mart broke off my dipstick when they changed the oil last and didnt let me know...I changed my own oil today and couldnt tell from the manual how much oil to use - it looks like 4.4 quarts. HERE'S the question: I have a 2000 Vitara 2.0 stick-shift, 4x4, soft top, 2-door with broken dipstick...How many quarts of oil do I use, and do I use one less iff putting SLICK 50 in it? Thanks.
jebeland0 Posts: 1I had the same problem with my 2002 Suzuki Vitara, when I brought it to the mechanic he said it was a cable that came loose, he put it back in place and it worked immediately. It did manage to come off within a week of him fixing it. He put it back in place and my heat has been working like new ever since. I noticed that it was not working earlier this year.
branwenw Posts: 3Two mechanics had told me it was the timing chain. The dealership replaced a gasket. Two days later it was back in. This time it was the tensioner. Two days later it was back in for the same noise. The third time they determined it was a generic oil filter. They replaced the filter with a Suzuki oil filter, and the noise appears to have disappeared.

tarub Posts: 1Hi, Im from the Philippines and I recently acquired a pre-owned vitara, 98 model auto trans. My concerns is that on idle speed, my dashboard vibrates terribly. It feels like your driving a worn out diesel engine truck.
What could possibly be wrong? does it have to do with my idling?
Also, the airconditioning is weak. Replaced my expansion valve, condenser and the sysyem cleaned too but its not cold enough. Any advise on what to do, thanks -
diamondsmama40 Posts: 1my 99 GV is missing while in gear and running down the road , it is also missing while idling now . up until today it wasn't a constant thing . I have changed the spark plugs , the fuel filter and added injector cleaner to it , to no avail . I am also getting a horrible rotten egg smell when it does this . help , it's the only transportaion i have and i can't afford to buy another vehicle .
kizzuki Posts: 3My lights began to pulsate more than usual and then the blower didn't work. I replace the blower motor less than a year ago , and thought it may be the resistor, so I changed it. That did nothing. Found the "defrost" fuse blown and replaced it and it began to work, but fuse popped after about 5 minutes. Checked the blower switch and it crumbled into pieces, so I unplugged it, put a new fuse in and still it POPPED! Lights got worst so changed the alternator and solved that light problem. Put another fuse in and all seemed good, but after about 10 minutes(you guessed it) POP! The trouble with this is, the same fuse controls the blower switch as well as the auto light feature. Need to fix, cold now and have no heat!! A :sick: ny answers????? Not an auto electrician by any means and like everyone else can't afford one either, so any help is appreciated!!!!
lonestarbob Posts: 1I have a 2006 grand vatara and the other day, I went to go from air conditioner to heater and it would not go to heater. Then I heard a noise under dash or somewhere and heat appeared. Now when we turn the air conditioner on no air just high heat. the little car on dash is blinking and all I have is high heat and no other control of heater or air conditioner. Can you explain and tell me how to fix this problem?

"Great gluten free cake! It turned out so moist and no would would ever know it was GF. In place of the rice flour mix I used 1 1/2 c Bob Redmill's GF baking mix, 1/2 c rice flour and 1tsp xanthan gum. I topped with a glaze made with powdered sugar, butter, milk and vanilla!"

In Roman times, there was a uncommon military discipline practice called decimation. Meant as a way to punish cowardly or mutinous soldiers, it was a brutal practice in which groups of ten would draw lots; one man would be selected to be killed by the other nine men through clubbing, stoning, or only with their hands and feet. This 'removal of a tenth' punishment sent a clear message to the survivors: your actions (or lack of action) put you at risk for a disgraceful death. It was warning to all, a vicious lesson that the cruelty of the battlefield is nothing compared to the cruelty of your fellow countrymen. -- Read More
On the whole, I'm not much of a book reader. Most of my reading is done online; I read a handful of books every year, mostly non-fiction, based on various whims. Right now, I'm reading The World Without Us, a captivating exploration about how the world would revert (or not revert) back to a pre-human emergence. Some of these things have been dramatized into a series on the History Channel by a different name, providing the added element of CGI to show how buildings would collapse, infrastructure would fail, nature reclaims the suburbs, and how all that would remain for future archeologists is our stainless steel cookware. For the scientist in me, it's fascinating to see everything humans have made becoming undone by the natural forces of this world.
So, in touching upon the premise of the book, I thought, "What would the world be like without libraries?" How would our demise come? -- Read More
Budget cuts seem the order of the day, this article in the Thursday edition of the Columbia Spectator gives librarians another grim look of what is ahead. Unfortunately, with state budgets still taking losses it looks like we could have to get used to more cutbacks in services, materials and staff. http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2010/02/24/recession-forces-new-york-city-libraries-check-o...
Last month, there was the widely reported story about a private school in Massachusetts that removed all of its books from its library. (I've written about it before here.) Later, it became clear that other departments had the chance to take books from the collection before the rest were removed. There was a lot of discussion in the online library community about the move and brought up the integral question: can a library exist without books? -- Read More
In hard times, they have become centers of access to information, communities, and jobs.
By Amy Dougherty
"A recently released report by the Philadelphia Workforce Investment Board, "Help Wanted: Knowledge Workers Needed," included a stunning statistic: Almost 50 percent of the citizens of Philadelphia lack the basic skills needed to perform in a knowledge-based economy. Given that, our state and city leaders have shown a remarkable lack of vision in threatening to reduce library services.
We need to enlarge our workforce by teaching workers the skills that will enable them and the city to make the transition to the new economy. And the infrastructure to do so already exists in our libraries.
Recent data show that Americans are flocking to local libraries, often waiting in long lines for help and computer time. They are searching for employment, job-training information, and, if they are able, rewriting their resumes. Librarians are the new career counselors, sometimes taking the brunt of patrons' frustrations and fears in these turbulent times."

Library of the future: $24-million Darien Library opens Saturday
"It's not just the construction and design that make this a library of the future — the building itself is impressive — but the attitude and new vision led by director Louise Berry. The Dewey Decimal system we grew up with is replaced by books organized by subject. There is no librarian stuck behind a desk to check out your books and media because there are four self-check-out stations allowing librarians to be among the stacks helping and talking to you.
***See a slide show of your new library***
The $24-million library opens to the public on Saturday with a 10 a.m. ribbon cutting followed by tours of the four-level building on the corner of the Post Road and Hecker Avenue. There will be special events for children and door prizes."

Library of the future: $24-million Darien Library opens Saturday
"People are flocking to Deschutes County libraries, and officials say the slumping economy may be bringing them business. From July through November, patrons checked out about 10 percent more books and other items compared with the same period last year."

Years ago the tech society predicted an end of the public library. Thomas Frey, Senior Futurist (Da Vinci Institute) notes that critics failed to predict the library's ability to reinvent themselves. Thus, libraries thrive well in our information environment. Cities across the continents are investing heavily in public libraries. These libraries contain opulent multistory structures, equipped with cutting edge technology.
Libraries have evolved into interactive research and leisure centers.
Frey further suggests that libraries can reinvent the information experience that could be added to a library.
Frey further prognosticates that library activities will be diverified and varied on a global scale. Frey further suggests that memories of a community should not disappear throughout time.

On November 8, 2008, four days after the election of Barack Obama, first year Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia announced the closings of 11 branch libraries as part of an attempt to balance the city budget in face of declining revenues.
Mayor Nutter has been met with determined resistance from the city wide Friends of the Free Library, led by executive director Amy Dougherty, and the Friends of the Free Library groups at each of the 11 branch libraries and at most branch libraries around the city.
While the Friends of the Free Library have made clear their strong preference was for no library cuts at all, they have announced that they would favor reduction of hours at all libraries as against shutting some down.
As a state legislator in whose district two of the eleven libraries shut down are located, I have been an active public spokesperson against the library closings.
One of the libraries to be shut down, the David Cohen Ogontz Library, is named for my late father, the longest serving Philadelphia Councilman at Large in the city's history. It is named for him because of his passionate activism for its creation over a thirty-five year period spanning six mayoral administrations. -- Read More
Traditional libraries live on in an increasingly digital world
"America's reading rooms have transformed into modern community centers offering shelves of newly released movies and music, digital audio books and free Internet access. Some, like the Oshkosh Public Library, even offer occasional teen Pilates classes and moviemaking workshops in addition to story times and book clubs. Even in the digital age, when some thought computer screens would supplant ink and paper, libraries are far from becoming extinct".

Gaza militants launched several rockets toward Israel's south on Thursday, hours after an Israeli air strike in central Gaza killed a Palestinian militant planning a terrorist attack on the Egypt border.
A Grad-type rocket exploded in an open field near the southern city of Be'er Sheva, with another Qassam landing in an open field in the Sdot Negev Redional Council. No injuries or damages were reported in either incident.
According to Palestinian medical officials, two men were killed as they were traveling on a main Gaza road on Thursday.
The car in which the two were traveling went up in flames on the crowded Omar al-Mukhtar street, medical officials said.
Palestinians reported several more casualties as a result of the explosion.
According to the witnesses and paramedics, it was the first Israeli strike inside Gaza City since the three-week Gaza war in 2008-2009.

Created in the Corridor: J-TEC Associates
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (CBS 2/FOX 28) - It's technology that produces winners from the race track to the battle field. J-TEC products can be found all over the world and it's a company Created in the Corridor.
They had been involved in the military side of Rockwell, says CEO Gary Roling of J-TEC founders Ted Johnson and Bob Joy who left Collins Radio in 1968 to develop an ocean current sensor for
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to help the agency forecast weather. It was the core technology thats (still used) in all these products today, says Roling.
The products Roling refers to are Blow-By Flow Meters which are purchased by a wide range of companies to increase fuel efficiency and power generation in their combustion engines. John Deere, Cummins,
Ford Motor and most of the automotive companies around the world use our products. Caterpillar is one of J-TEC's largest customers. They use the meters as lab tools to measure compression gases that escape
the piston rings into the crank case. We put our meter right on the output of that crank case, breather is what its called," explains Chief Engineer Dave Medin. "When that gas flow gets above a certain level that signifies that the engine is wearing out. Says Roling, Its important to know the health of the engine so you can catch a problem developing.
That's crucial for NASCAR drivers like Dale Earnhardt Junior who just took the checkered flag at this year's Daytona 500. We feel like were part of the winning team because we supply the product
to (NASCAR racing teams). Earnhardt's team is just one of them.
J-TEC also is the sole provider of air flow meters to the U.S. military. (The meters) measure the crosswind that is flowing across the muzzle of an M1/A1 Abrams tank, explains Medin.That wind affects the shell
that the tank fires and therefore the accuracy of the shell...and so (the air flow meter) sits on the back of every M1/A1 tank.
J-TEC employs only eleven people right now because its military business is down, but most the employees have been with the company for decades. We have a very tremendous crew of people here, boasts Roling.
This Spring, J-TEC will introduce a couple of new products for smaller, budget-minded shops that are roughly one third of the cost of J-TEC's standard products.
You can find a link to J-Tec's website in the News Links section of this site.

Follow through and ask if the full celiac panel was done. If the doctor has no idea what you're talking about, ask to be referred to a gastroenterologist. Alternatively, you can ask to be referred to a dermatologist and request a biopsy. However, the Kaiser dermatologists don't know that they need to biopsy the clear skin NEXT to a lesion and not the lesion itself. Good luck winning that argument! I have DH, and my skin is terribly scarred because the Kaiser dermatologists (lots of them) told me I just had a bad case of acne and treated it as such. If all fails, simply begin following a gluten-free diet, because you will probably regain your health if you do. And please continue to ask questions on this Forum--you'll learn a lot!

2. Tissue Transglutaminase
3. Gliadin IGA
However I did not receive numbers....just 'negative'. Is this the full celiac panel? I emailed my doctor and asked if there was a chance it was a false negative and she said yes and to follow up with a GI. I'm sick of feeling sick! Part of me wants to just eliminate gluten and see how I feel. I'm ready for this itchy rash to go away too!
