Hopefully the Demacians didn't confiscate his Chrome Skin. He'll need it should he fight in the match. Zaunite Bartender, Cid Emblem

Update: When asked, port officials said that the long delay was due to a combination of the Armordillo's faulty paperwork and a novice guardsman's errors in standard operating procedure. "The terseness of the subject certainly didn't help." However, many interviewees said that the guard looked: "like 'e knew exactly what 'e was doin'." Interviews with local merchants seem to dispel the rumor that aggression was shown to Rammus by the general populace. Locals and other disembarking passengers seemed upset at the long wait and were concerned by the Armordillo's detainment. "I thought champions had, like, diplomatic immunity or something," muttered Havoc Damspeese, a sixty year old cod fisherman. "I mean, champions are constantly walking around here after a fight. I've personally seen Singed in the Hanged Shark [a local tavern] and no [officals] seemed to give him no trouble." However, more sources have come forward to strengthen the idea that administrative interference was the reason for the canceled lunch appointment. Apparently another, unknown, League champion was supposed to meet with Rammus. However a mid-level government order was handed down to the maitre d' to cancel the appointment. The other champion was reportedly of a very short stature, but no more details could be found. No information has been given on whether Rammus recieved a refund.
"In hindsight, we're lucky we only blacklisted Rammus and not someone like Gangplank. Rammus is too nice of an individual to resort to violence at any sort of disrespect. Gangplank's idea of a response would be to simply drop a cannon barrage into the port." ~ Unnamed Demacian official
When I see this kind of discrimination against various people because of one action they did without even taking the time to wonder why someone would do such thing, it makes me lose what little hope I have for the people (and creatures) of Valoran to live together peacfully. -Summoner Deadeye Sniper ~Unaffiliated~
My, my, was that the Demacian Propaganda Office's day off? To have such news leak out without the "righteous" red tape, they must be really getting lousy. Or perhaps stirring rumors about Noxus planning to cheat in the upcoming match is taking all their efforts? Caelestes d'Escarde, N.S, A & S.F.E.
Rammus fought with all his might... he stared intently into space, and did everything he could to muster up the vocabulary to say what he wanted... he inhaled deeply, and looked at the Noxian asking him to help in the fight against Ionia... and simply stated: "Ok." Hours later, he could still be heard crying in his room, the poor little armordillo just needs to learn how to say "no."
Rammus, according to his lore, is indeed a benevolent spirit. He gets on very well with Blitzcrank instead of Twitch, even though Blitz doesn't share his background while Twitch does. Nevertheless, he, just like Sivir, is a mercenary who traded his muscles for anyone who can afford them. He couldn't care less about what atrocities the Noxian army had done to Ionians. His alignment is perfectly neutral. But clearly Rammus is not a heartless, coldblooded murderer deserving discrimination by Demacians. What if Sivir were hired by the Noxians to fight against Ionians during that match?

John M. Smith was born December 2, 1834, in New York County, the son of Harvey D. Smith and Miss S. Cook, of the same county. John attended public school until the age of eighteen years, after which he devoted himself to agriculture, until his twentieth year, when he became a frontiersman and spent many years on the Texas border. In 1857 he went to Missouri, and began the nursery business, and in 1866 moved to the Cherokee Nation, settling at Fort Gibson, where he was employed by the government as wagon boss. In 1868 he commenced the nursery business in Tahlequah, and carries it on until the present day. Mr. Smith has been known for many years by the title of "Apple Tree Smith," and has sold over 75,000 trees in the Indian Territory, and these of the very finest quality only. Mr. Smith married Miss Evaline Martin, daughter of H. Martin, and connected with many of the oldest Cherokee families. By this marriage he has nine children, five of whom are girls. These young ladies are all natural musicians; the eldest, Susie, as a musical genius is quite a wonder, and compares favorably with Blind Tom, the celebrated pianist. Mr. Smith owns a farm of 200 acres, 100 head of cattle and 16 head of horses and mules, eighteen miles from Tahlequah. He also owns 300 acres of land, 200 of which are in cultivation, within two miles of Tahlequah. Mr. Smith has recently commenced dealing in pianos and organs, and is doing a very fair trade, and dealing only in the best instruments. Mr. Smith is six feet high, weighs 175 pounds, and a strong, healthy man, being both active and energetic. Few men in the territory are better known than "Apple Tree Smith."

The Months of the Year
Everyone knows that February is Black History Month, when African-American heritage is commemorated and celebrated, but did you know that it's also National Care About Indoor Air Health Month? And we're sure you know that Monday is Presidents Day, but are you also aware that March 13 is Check Your Batteries Day?
We're guessing the answer is no. And for good reason: Neither of the niche holidays has earned official recognition like Black History Month, nor will they show up in any wall calendar you buy at a store. But these are only two among the hundreds of "holidays" that have been declared by interest groups and organizations hoping to advance a cause or product.
While anyone can theoretically "declare" a holiday and advertise in connection with it, only Congress can make it part of our official calendar.

Game reviews, as well as reviews for other entertainment mediums, are highly subjective. Instead of a game claiming "will not crash 99% of the time, will provide 8 distinct bosses, etc." and being judged based on what it claimed to provide, the majority of a game review is simply about whether or not the "game is fun". Sometimes reviewers throw in "value for the money" as well, but I think that should be a separate piece of information. A game (movie, or book) could be the most excellent piece of entertainment ever, but just be overpriced. That doesn't mean that it is bad, just that it isn't worth as much as it is being sold for.
Regardless, if you go to metacritic or any other review aggregator, you can see the reasons that were pretty much shared by all reviewers as to why Arkham Origins got a low score.
In short: - Gameplay elements weren't improved upon as much as they were from older Batman games (generally awful or mediocre) to Arkham Asylum, or from Arkham Asylum to Arkham City (adding double and triple counters, more gadgets, open world environment, etc.)
- The gameplay felt the same as the previous two.
If your enjoyment of a game comes from how much it improved over previous iterations, then yes, you probably won't enjoy Arkham Origins. If you enjoy a game based on its own merits and haven't grown tired of similar gameplay found in previous Batman: Arkham games, then it is a great game.
Simply put, don't let reviews change your opinion of the game. If you like it, then that is all that matters. Reviews are really only meant to (in some cases) give consumers an idea of whether or not a game would be something that they would like to purchase.

306 Broderick St. (near Oak Street)
San Francisco
Tel. (415) 437-0303
Now there are two locations of this Mexican restaurant, known for using organic, sustainable products - the original location on Broderick and an equally excellent outpost on Ninth Avenue. It's quite a success for Gonzalo Guzman and Jose Ramos, who started cooking at the sister restaurant, Nopa. Chef-owner Laurence Jossel was so impressed with their staff meals he knew they needed their own stage. With the second location they can do whole-animal cooking. Both restaurants have modern, comfortable interiors, but the food is the star, whether it's a simple panucho with black beans, chicken and cabbage, or seared trout with pumpkin seed sauce, butter beans and chile de arbol.
Specialties: Carnitas braised in beer; enchiladas with mole and chicken; posole rojo; caldo tlalpeño (chicken soup); tacos with fish seared in ancho chile adobo.
Open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.

Fast growing eCommerce business trend in every country. start cloning groupon websites and following the same business strategies to money. Now days instant websites also available in the market for grouponclone script. Groupon Clone
The context (Facebook addicts' behavior) was slightly different, but an apt metaphor came to mind recently: imagine a Bose-Einstein condensate of human protoplasm. We seem more like lemmings every day ... except that lemmings are slaves to "group think" only in myth.
Then again, while Italian Mafia and Japanese Yakuza shares the same "business model", their modes of execution are often quite different... Another case in point for the need to localize.
So by the perverse logic of the author if Mario is selling pizza down the street I can't open my pizza shop because I'll be "selling his ideas"? Well, in this case, I guess Italian mafia was a pretty sleek business idea and copyright enforcer.
Well, I guess - Differentiate or Die...
The fact that the 'clone' services can start up in another country faster than the original company can localize ITS services to the same country implies time-to-market advantage of the locals copying and adapting the original business concept instead of the original company trying to localize from the outside.
In some markets (most notably Japan), the degree of required localization is often so great that the original product is often rejected in favour of local clones purely because locals find the original too user unfriendly. (MS-IME is a case in point).
So you mean web-based businesses face competition just like any other business? Shocking!
The US Patent Office has nothing to do with it, as these clone companies set up their business in markets that are not the USA, i.e. Europe. Therefore, a US Patent would not help anyway, as it is only valid in the USA.
I'm surprised the white supremecist at the Economist chose to focus on Germany rather than China.
Microsoft and Google are also the Success story of Biggest Clones of all time.
What is the problem of taking some ideas and make it better? It is about satisfying consumer needs and the 4Ps paradigm.
Microsoft did not have the first PC operating system, Browser, Office software etc. Google did not have the first search engine, Phone software etc.
So what to do or What can be done for the Originators of the idea?
It is the Laws of the jungle operating within the IP gambit. Let the strongest fight to survive.
Ah, internet capitalism. Use it to achieve success, and then try to keep others from enjoying the same opportunities because they're threatening your business.
The final paragraph has it right: Deliver a better product, continue to innovate, and adapt your product to foreign markets, and the copycats won't have a chance. And it's a good thing that most European governments are highly skeptical about software patents. In this case, competition really is good for the consumer.
This Post should not be admitted on the economist. It takes a very narrow view, understands very little about the topic and covers very few internet businesses. I dont know where to start regarding clones in computing. Windows copied Apple OS. The ipod copied creative music player. Office is a copy of lotus 123 and wordstar. Google adwords was copied from Bill Joy - dont recollect the name of his search company. Now google+ which is basically facebook+circles but in google colors is a clone. So cloning has been around for ever and has been done by as many american companies as others.
Regarding foreign companies creating clones - here is another i can think of - infibeam.com in india which looks exactly like amazon.com including the arrow on the logo - no company can feel bad about a clone when they have made no effort to be present in that market. If you leave a large unserved market for years obvioulsy competitors will emerge. For some strange reason amazon has ignored the indian market. They ship to india at enormous cost. In any case these companies should be thankful to the clones - because when amazon enters india they have a ready set of professionals to hire, a set of customers qo know what the service is and can easily grab market share. So dont wring your hands about the clones. Embrace them - examples coke bought thums up in india, ebay bought bazee in india. The premium they pay is nothing compared to what they had to spend to build that business themselves in a foreign market.
Most importantly why should thousands of consumers in india or china or europe wait till some silicon valley kid gets approval from his VC and sets upshop in their country. The customer has to be served - if you dont do it someone else will
The ultimate American gift is not the internet start up culture, but the actual World Wide Web.
It was designed as a decentralized information storage network that could provide resilience in a thermonuclear war.
And it has catapulted English as the preferred technology lingua franca.
Keyboards are based on American Remmington typewriters.
Disk Drives and Hard Drives are still measured in inches not cm.
And English is the subtext to most computer programming languages.
Internet Protocol Addresses are abbreviations based on English..
And American web sites are still dominant, despite the turn of real world fortunes.
And American Silicon Valley high tech start up culture is the model for web based business.
But the last thing the Internet needs is the intrusion of the American Legal Culture.
American patent laws are remarkable for foreign high tech companies. Check out the background of the Swedish inventor Håkan Lans.
From Wikipedia about Lans "The past 10 years of his life has been spent on a complicated legal dispute concerning the patent on colour computer graphics. Several companies, including Compaq, Gateway and Hewlett Packard had not paid royalties, and allegedly infringed on the patent."
I hope one day 60-minutes will make something of his story.
More info in Swedish:
A history of Microsoft programs shows a similar development method. The battles between lotus 123 and excel and the various DOS versions were similar. Google+ vs Facebook is another. Even the word clone in computing refers to the huge array of IBM compatible PCs that embraced and extended the original. Of course many claims of being original and being innovative turn out to be spurious. In comouting one stands on the shoulders of giants almost always, giving credit is rare though.
American firms can blame their dysfunctional patent office, which is improperly self-conscious around the topics of business-model patents, user-interface patents, and software patents.
A patent should under law in the U.S., be issued for an invention which is "new, useful and non-obvious to one skilled in the art."
But the U.S. patent office is skilled in delay and acting in a thin-skinned and destructively defensive fashion when faced with criticism (e.g., the Amazon one-click patent). Their defensive over-reaction to criticism has helped to hurt American innovators, while shoveling money into the mouths of the copycats.
Another example of American legal "professionals" getting it wrong, dead wrong, and Americans paying the price.
Nothing wrong with healthy competition, as long as it's legal. I for one, am thrilled that alternatives to Kickstarter exist. Kickstarter may claim to crowdsource funding for arts and technology projects, but they declined to support kakool.com, a website (featuring a powerful ratings-based recommendations tool) that offers users a wide variety of personalized recommendations, including other members with similar tastes and/or personalities. Bring on the clones...
ah, in search of global IP solutions. i did't get disappointed by not seeing the last paragraph plugging a legal house spotting an opportunity. so, where are the trolls when you need them?

A June Miscellany
By Stephen Michael Kellat, MSLS
Head Writer, Erie Looking Productions
The Search For Studio Space
With the main move out of the way, we are kinda lacking in studio space. This is why the hiatus is running as long as it is. We are attempting to raise money and are looking at real estate. Three possible partners have been contacted but it is too soon to have heard back from them. There is a building previously used by a Charismatic Episcopal Church for sale that costs roughly ten thousand dollars in the Ashtabula Harbor Historical District. While the building is quite tempting and would make for a lovely base of operations, it is not yet economically feasible to purchase. The local real estate market is in fairly bad shape where there are an infinitesimal amount of properties for rent/lease compared to properties up for sale.
The World Radio Network
A private company based in England, World Radio Network provides transmission services for quite a number of content providers. Considering that some of the content they air is geekier and appeals to a narrower niche compared to LISNews Netcast Network programming, they've been contacted to see what cooperation is possible. We have not heard back yet if there are any opinions positive or negative about the programming we produce.
Voting & Intentional Self-Destruction
Over a year into the presidency of Barack Obama, the economy of the United States is hardly recovered. A meme on conservative websites for a while was to plot against the unemployment change projections of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act what the actual unemployment rate happened to be. That such diverged was mocked. When the divergence was significantly out of line from the projections used to sell what was popularly known as "stimulus", the laughter turned to grimacing.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was sold as a panacea. There were some fundamental kernels of nastiness deep within the bill that continue to produce unintended consequences. This has been clearly seen in New Jersey where Andy Woodworth has assumed a role akin to a minor prophet of the Old Testament documenting not the decline of ancient Israel but rather the decline of libraries.
It is without doubt that the Recovery Act disbursed money to put people back to work. A trip west from Conneaut to Ashtabula on Interstate Route 90 here shows in fairly graphic detail the impact of money as new lanes are added to the highway. The disbursement of money from the United States Treasury came with strings attached. As there are no free gifts from the federal government to grant recipients, it bears consideration as to the consequences of those strings.
The term "maintenance of effort" sounds more like a euphemism for benign accounting issues. That term is hardly benign. A key condition for quite a bit of education funding and funding for road works was that the states had to agree to sustain funding for those areas at or above a minimum benchmark. Failure to comply with funding above that benchmark would disqualify the state from receiving federal funding in that area for a set number of years. Maintenance of Effort, which a term of bureaucracy, would perhaps more appropriately be termed "Advance Commitment To Spend Certain Funds Without Regard To Changing Circumstances For A Fixed Period Of Years".
Considering the proportions of state budgets spent on education, road works, and the like it is hardly surprising that governors like New Jersey's Chris Christie have done what they have after their predecessors signed up for stimulus dollars that had strings attached. No powerful lobby acted to get provisions included in the Recovery Act to exempt entities like public libraries, parks, mental health care services, and the like from possibly being cut. With the top-down imposition of spending priorities with draconian penalties attached if a state made cuts, public libraries were among the targets set up with very attractive targets painted on them.
Until the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act expires, libraries are in a bind. Libraries are deemed from the top down to not necessarily be a funding priority. As education matters and road works gobble up quite a bit of state budgets, any growth in their funding consumption will threaten libraries. The Recovery Act insures education and road works will never be cut unless a state had almost a death wish to lose access to federal funding. There are no financial consequences if libraries are dealt budget cuts, though.
In the end, elections have consequences.

Strangely enough, this week's episode features appearances from all the air staff. We have an essay about practical electioneering with the New Jersey situation in mind that Andy Woodworth has written about. We also feature readings of a "DJ Read Script" that libraries can give to local radio stations to help keep the fire alive from National Library Week. An interview with the leader of Ubuntu Ohio is also presented as the Lucid Lynx release is discussed.
A production hiatus for LISTen is also announced. The target return date for the program is August 23rd. Special episodes will still be released as required, though. Advance warning of special episodes will be posted to the LISNews feed on Identica.

First we have a word from producer Gloria Kellat:
Folks! The team behind LISTen is getting set to bring you a print supplement to LISNews. Would you like to immortalize yourself in the very first LISNews Bulletin? Since we are trying to raise capital to cover printing costs so that we can give out the Bulletin as a free market test at Computers in Libraries 2010, we are putting together a patrons page. For USD$10 you can be listed as a supporter of an offline counterpart to LISNews. With just 10 patrons we can have 70-100 copies of the Bulletin to give out at Computers in Libraries 2010. For more details please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com before April 1st and make sure you put "Patron Page" on the subject line.
And now back to the regularly scheduled show post...
Recognizing that Health Care Reform is dominating the news in North America and squeezing out other news channels, we have a miscellany this week in addition to leaking more details about what this LISNews Bulletin is envisioned to be.

This week's podcast took a different operational stance in recording. Instead of the usual cassette deck, we shifted instead to a reel-to-reel system:
If you click the picture above you can see a larger version of that snapshot. The computer pictured functioned essentially as an overgrown cart machine. This week's episode was recorded on a 1978 TEAC 3340S deck at 7.5 ips on normal bias. The other deck we were working with was intended to give more of a 1970's audio vibe but the recorded results sounded like chipmunks on a methamphetamine binge.
News was slow this week and budget constraints dictated that South by Southwest Interactive was not happening for the air staff. A miscellany is presented as well as a zeitgeist review.

Colourful lights flicker across Jonathon Puckrin's face as he puts a token in a Walking Dead pinball machine at the back of Denizen Hall. The game table comes to life as the show's eerie theme song begins. The sounds of zombie growls mix with the clacking of the flippers as Puckrin hits the ball toward a hulking bloody zombie "bash toy." Each hit runs the ball up lanes, sends it reeling off bumpers and lights up the display as he scores.
The city is taking steps to tell drivers about danger spots on Edmonton streets in hopes of further reducing collision rates. A digital sign on westbound Whitemud Drive, near the Rainbow Valley bridge, warns about a high-collision area ahead. The sign went up in November.
1 hour agoA spike in Edmonton gasoline prices this week is the result of retailers reacting, or overreacting, to an increase in the wholesale price, an industry expert said Thursday. Average prices for regular gas in the city, which have been in decline since hitting 125.9 cents per litre last July, have increased the past couple of days from around 68.9 cents to 81.9 cents or higher, says gasbuddy.com and other price-watching sites.

Gamers Get Rapped
Mario Brothers, meet Wu-Tang Clan.
The Wu, Fatboy Slim, Metallica, David Bowie, and the Chemical Brothers are just a few of the dozens of marquee pop acts that amped videogame soundtracks in 1999.
With full-release soundtracks like "Duke Nukem: Music To Score By" racked on music store shelves for the first time in the United States, the bonds between gamers and musicians have never been stronger.
Last year, videogame software and hardware sales hit $7.2 billion (just shy of the film industry's $7.4 box office take). And gaming continues to evolve into a full-fledged entertainment industry, with more of the tie-ins, cross-promotions, and even the big-boob star glam (à la Lara Croft) that is taken for granted in the music and film biz.
For the first time this year, videogame soundtracks are even eligible for three Grammys: "Best Soundtrack," "Best Instrumental Composition," and "Best Song" in the recently expanded category, "Motion Picture, TV, or Other Visual Media."
The marriage between music and gaming, two of youth culture's strongest passions, is a natural fit, says Activison director of global brand management Will Kassoy.
"Often we look to cross-promote with that artist's record label and try to tie a game release to an album release," said Kassoy.
"Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style," a fighter based on the rap group, was one such cross-promotion tool. The game shared promotional material with Loud Records, the label that released solo albums by Wu-Tang members Rae-Kwon and U-God.
Big names may make for better promotions, but it's never certain that slapping together five mega-hits will work. Game designers are working harder to bring musicians into projects at the planning stages, in an effort to create a more cohesive gaming experience.
"Over the past few years, there's been a big difference," said veteran game music composer Tommy Tallarico, who just released his fourth videogame soundtrack album. He recorded the soundtrack for the playstation adaptation of the latest James Bond hit, Tomorrow Never Dies.
"In 1999 alone we've seen artists like David Bowie and Yes not just writing songs for games like Omikron and Homeworld, but being a part of the creative process, seeing a project through," Tallarico said.

Lok Sabha elections: TAMIZH TALKIES
Elderly voters discussing no more than Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa at a temple in Umarikadu, a village in Thoothukudi. (Cartoon by EP Unny)
Jayalalithaa started her campaign well in advance like good friend turned mid-poll foe Narendra Modi. For elections scheduled soon after this Easter, she positioned herself well before last Christmas.
December last, hoardings sprang up along the roads that connect the CM's Poes Garden home to Marina Beach. In hundreds, hailing Amma as PM, give or take a little election. Got many eyeballs in Chennai, then in the thrall of the music season. However, morning walkers from the neighbourhood, mostly NOTA voters, dismissed the whole thing as gimmick and walked on.
The big ticket announcement was primarily meant for party men who were readying to commemorate founder MGR on Christmas Eve, his death anniversary. The wayside visual overkill, an insider ventured, was also meant for the presidential eyes of Pranab Mukherjee who was visiting Chennai on December 20, 2012. In case of a hung Lok Sabha, the veteran would have a role.
Such display boards have since sprouted in places near and far — Delhi's Tamil quarters to a particularly colourful one at Palakkad in Kerala, whose only connect to the Amma legacy is that it is MGR's hometown. Also Prakash Karat's, a factoid that could have had some salience, had AIADMK's tie-up with the Left run half as long as an MGR film. That apart, come elections and the Tamil land was expected to bloom into graphic spreads.
A surprise was in store as you entered Tamil Nadu from Kerala. Narendra Modi waved you off, from a hoarding flanked by the most winnable candidates from the bordering states – O Rajagopal from Thiruvananthapuram and Pon Radhakrishnan from Kanyakumari. After which, it took miles on end to sight another poll image. The Election Commission's man in Chennai had struck. No visual splurge in towns. Only in villages. The EC went to the extent of covering the Chief Minister's face with paper and sticking tape on governmental displays.
Leaders' pictures are allowed at party events where Jayalalithaa outdoes the rest, celebrating with a vengeance. She tries out unconventional mounts to maximise appeal. Balloons carrying her picture set against Parliament House go up at her Pollachi rally. On the highway to the Nilgiris, you see her Red Fort in motion — a semi-knocked-down cut-out being carted to the next big do.
Between big events, it is a long spell of visual drought. In Kotagiri, the DMK tries to make up with audio. From a stationary jeep fitted with big box speakers, lyrics in a loop blare out in praise of 'Dalapati (Group Commandant) Stalin who arrives in leonine gait…' No patch on the visual morphing you see in a Rajini film, but the earworm stays.
In Nagercoil, the BJP candidate stops strategically at continued…

How to Skin Your PuppetOver time a lot of people have asked me what is the process for making a fleece skin for puppets.

I always love hearing about the inspiring efforts to build libraries or bring books to children in third world countries, such as the Donkey Mobile Libraries and The Camel Bookmobile (fiction based on a true story). Turns out a nonprofit group here in Arvada is doing the same thing. They are called SCOPE International, and among other projects, they develop school and community libraries in Kenya. They have an exhibit of bright and interesting photographs on the display wall at Standley Lake this month, and they are having a reception this Saturday, July 13 at 2:00 in the Standley Lake meeting room. Come learn more about their noble endeavors and adventures!
As a kickoff to our Dig Into Reading Summer Reading Club, a few employees of Jefferson County Open Space brought their very own backhoe to the Golden Library on May 31st!
The backhoe's bucket was decked out with a display of books and kids got to climb in and out of the seat where the operator sits! Open Space employees presented information about the kinds of things backhoes are used for and answered questions.
Check out these photos!
Benediction by Kent Haruf has been selected by Golden residents as this year's choice for the second annual One Book. 1 Golden. program!

"Turn the Other Cheek" Panel Discussion6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24 Location to be determinedJoin us as leaders from the local faith community hold a panel discussion on the idea of "turning the other cheek," its relevance in today's world, and its interpretation in various religious faiths and the teachings of Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Is there such a thing as a "just" war? Is violence warranted as revenge? A Q&A will follow the panel discussion. Free tickets will be required.
"Picture Golden" Photo ContestThe imaginary small town of Holt, Colo. is the setting for Benediction. Like any small town there are things that distinguish it from other towns. What is it about Golden that sets it apart, makes it unique? What says "Golden" to you? Take a photograph and enter it in our "Picture Golden" photo contest. The submission deadline is Sept. 21 and winners will be announced at a reception at the Golden Library on Sept. 29. Submission requirements and instructions will be available soon.
The goals of the One Book. 1 Golden. program are to promote a culture of reading and to bring the community together through a shared reading experience. This is the second year of the program. Growing Up True by Craig Barnes was selected in 2012.
Do you have kids who love to read? Then Young Readers' Fun club is the place for them! The Lakewood Library has a discussion group just for kids.

2005 PT Cruiser GT misfiring and bucking
I have a 2005 PT GT dream cruiser edition 4, today i was cruisin along at a normal speed and all of a sudden it started bucking and sputtering (this being the misfiring im told) so i pull over and turn it off. it wouldnt start back up right away, just kinda sputtered. i waited a few minutes and cranked it again and it fired right up, however the check engine light was now on. anyway it seemed to be driving fine so i drove off, but every time i got up to about 2.3 or 2.5 RPM it would buck around and misfire again. i took it to radio shack and they gave me a code reading for a cam shaft sensor. well i cranked it and drove off and it was completely normal. no bucking even at 3 and 4 RPM. i drove home, (which was a 45 minute drive) i got 5 minutes from home and it started doing it again! i have looked for the previous posts on this and it seems they have been removed. can someone tell me if this has happened to you? and if so what do i need to make sure the dealer does to it, my warranty is up very soon. thanks!
maiajoi Posts: 4well its at 58,000 and since i just got it a month or so ago i havent had th chance to do the maintenance (i thought it had been done since it was close to time for it and i would just think te dealer would make suer it was done before selling me the car). i called the chrysler place and they said i probably need a tune up. the check engine code said cam shaft, it threw the same code twice. i took it to the garage and they said i need a cam shaft positioning sensor AND a crank shaft sensor for $270. my husband changed the cam shaft sensor and all the problems have so far gone away. the guy at the parts store told him that the cruisers go thru cam shaft sensors like crazy, said he has one customer that has to replace his every 18 months or so! tune up is next, in a week or so since the dealer said they are due at 60,000.
herb50 Posts: 1My wife bought her 2006 PT Cruiser in Dec.2009. It has a 2.4 engine and has plenty of power. The problem of recent is driving at around 75 mph,it suddenly flutters and loses power. if you let up on the accelerator, it will sometimes clear itself up. It had 19000 original miles when she purchased it. It now has just 30000 miles. It has had no repairs to our knowledge. I put in some fuel injection cleaner and filled the tank with Premium. It ran great for about 300 miles and started again. What is puzzling is that their is NO engine codes or idiot lights when this happens. It is now becoming more regular. It will be purring along great and out of nowhere BAM it'll do it for a mile or so and almost quit and then perks up and runs fine like there never was a problem. Does anyone feel my pain?
ptcruiserntmre Posts: 1I purchased a 03 Pt Cruiser with a manual transmission in July 10, Well in Oct 10 the Timing belt had to be replaced along with the water pump. 700.00. In Feb 11 the fuel purge sensor had to be replaces 200.00, Mar 11 the clutch and pressure plate 900.00. Now I took it in for a oil change and fuel injector cleaning and approx 50 mi after that the engine light comes on and I take it to get the code read and it tells me its "running lean"now it's stalling and sputtering . I am so fed up with this POS anyone else having the same nightmares that I have been having ?????? :lemon: :mad:
tammiterrell Posts: 3Hello,
Just wondering if the changing the cam shaft sensor helped to stop the misfiring and bucking. I have the same PT Cruiser that you have and the same problem is happening. I've had the cam shaft sensor replaced once and then the timing belt went out. Got it fixed and now that car is continuing to misfire and buck. I am desperate to figure out what I must to due to fix this issue. Please advise. Thanks! -
sllackey Posts: 3We have a 2005 PT Cruiser with aprox 116,000 miles on it. Recently it starting having the same issues everyone else is having with it bucking, sputtering at low speed until i can pump the gas enough to get it past the issue and up to a better speed. It does this off and on and the engine light is on when it happens. We have replaced the spark plugs, the spark plug wires, the cam shaft sensor, the ignition coil and the gas cap twice. all these items are what come up the the little check engine light gadget is attached to the engine for a possible fix. It help for a little while and goes right back to doing it all over. sometimes i take the gas cap off and it get to where i need to go but it starts happening again. Yesterday we had a shop tell us it was the wiring harness and it will cost a years worth of car payments to fix it. The problem is that Chrysler has so many of them on back order they cannot not even tell us when we can get one. I am so depressed with this car right now, i also have a senior parent living with us who i need to be able to take places and this car is not dependable right now.
tammiterrell Posts: 3Im sorry to hear that you are having similiar issues with your PT that I had with mine. I wouldn't wish this on an enemy. With that said, I replaced the cam shaft sensor along with the crank shaft sensore and I have had no problems for 3 weeks (knock on wood). Try that and see if it works.
oemautosound Posts: 1pt cruiser gt 2005 55k miles same problem misfire check engine light on the next day is OK
3 day later check engine light is on again i turn on and off the ignition 3 times to get the computer codes and i got two misfire cylinder 1 and camshaft sensor
i purchase one form the auto parts and replace it my self problem solve for 3 months
doing the same again this time i purchase the sensor from the dealer is been 4 months
normal problem in our vehicles camshaft and crank shat sensors buy mopar only from the Chrysler dealer
don't lose money like i did -
sllackey Posts: 3Even after replacing our cam shaft sensor with a Morpar brand, it started again. This time we took it back and found out the timing belt had skipped a tooth and was causing all the issues. Sometimes it would run and sometimes not. Could only go about 10 miles before it would act up, now it seems i can drive forever, no problems so far. I have heard that it is a PT problem that hits about 100k miles, we made it to 116k.
Good luck, -
babyfer73 Posts: 1I have had the same problem and was told that it was the cam shaft sensor. The light comes on and stays on. Last night though it did something different. The car was cold (only 20 degrees outside) and it started up rough (no check engine light) and then the check engine light flashed 4 times and then went out. What worries me is that then the thermostat went up to the halfway mark (usually runs @the 1/4-1/3 mark when warmed up). There is no way the car was warmed up that quick. It was still blowing cold air out the vents too. Anyone else have this problem?
ptloser1 Posts: 1two days ago i was afraid to drive car because of performance. last night the temp got down to about 25 degrees here in tampa area. this morning check engine light was off and car ran perfectly seemed to have more power than ever. i noticed this last year when temp went down. maybe someone can use this info.
pt_gt_315000k Posts: 1This problem drove me nuts for almost 2 years the warmer the weather the worse it got. No one could figure it out! Lots of money wasted.
The solution was to apply conductive cream to the spark plug wire connections at the coil and the spark plugs.
I now do this at every oil change as the cream dries over time .
Never saw the problem again. -
delchar34 Posts: 1I have PT Cruiser 2005 GT.. w/85k ..getting code P171, have replace TIP , MAP, both Oxygen sensors, fuel line, thermostat, spark plugs and wires. Ran BG44K also replace upper and lower
intake manifold gaskets. took to dealer they not sure either . Was told might need a valve job
but not sure. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts. with all replaced and money spent not
getting any where.. could it be the turbo ?? thanks for any help -
sllackey Posts: 3After we replaced most of the same stuff you did and it was still doing it, we took it to an auto electrics specialist. It turned out to be the timing belt. Looking back on several of the diagnostics printout, it was listed at the bottem of the list as a possible. It was a little expensive but the problem has gone away.
grew Posts: 1We noticed that the check engine light stayed on and we had it checked out and they said the number 4 cyl was miss firing. We changed the plugs and checked the wires and that did not fix it so we took the car to the dealer and they said the problem was in the heads, possible cracked some placed. we have less then 100,00 on this car, why would the head crack with such less miles. Are there any recalls for this.
tammiterrell Posts: 3No recalls that I can find but this car is known for electrical problems. I brought my car in 2009 and I have had to replace the cam shaft and crank shaft 3 times due to the car misfiring when pushed to 2rpm. I still owe $5,500+ on the car. It is just not worth it anymore. I am ready to surrender the car to my finance company if I cant find a dealership to take it. I hate this car!~
ptlover45 Posts: 3MY 2007 PT non-turbo did the same thing at about 18K miles. It was the camshaft positioning sensor. It is a $65 part. I had it replaced under warranty. Knowing what it looks like and how easy it is to replace, I will replace it myself next time. It involved removing two screws and an electrical lead- no biggie. Do not buy after market replacements. From what I have read online, owners who have done that, got poor results. Get the part from the dealer- It is one of the cheapest and simplest fixes you can do to your PT. Good luck.
pbergeron Posts: 1I think most of you are right. It is the Camshaft Position Sensor. The reason if fails again after 3 to 4 months isn't related to it being aftermarket vs mopar auto parts.
There are two sensors the measure the position of the camshaft and crankshaft (they are not the same thing).
The upper sensor is the Camshaft Position Sensor and is located at the top of the engine beside the air intake box. The lower sensor is underneath the battery, battery mount and the starter. It is called the Crank Shaft Position Sensor if you don't want to take out the air box, battery, battery mount and starter to reach from the top, and if you have small enough hands, you should be able to reach it from the bottom of the car if you put it up on jack stands or ramps.
Replacing 1 alone will get you just 3-4 months of good driving. If you replace both the upper (camshaft) and lower (crankshaft) sensors at the same time they will work fine and get you several years of service.
It's the combination of the information delivered by these two sensors to the control module that helps control the fuel injection and firing of the pistons. So before you jump to an expensive fix like the timing belt. Since you can find each sensor from $25-$50 at the auto part store. Try replacing both sensors at the same time. If that doesn't work, then have the timing belt checked.
Although it sounds complicated getting to the lower sensor. It's just removing several bolts to remove each of the battery, battery mount and starter to get them out of your way. Took me about 45 minutes to replace both sensors. So far they have been running great for 2 years. Went through 3 Camshaft Position Sensors before I found out you really should replace both at the same time. Having two new sensors allows them to sync their info together better for the control module.
Hope this helps -
kaykeiser Posts: 12006 PT cruiser 2.4lt checked , had code for cyl 4 misfire found oil in spark plugs holes had good spark all cylinders replaced plugs wires and valve cover gasket with valve cover off found intake cam lobes on #4 cyl worn down replaced intake cam ran fine for 30 miles , misfire back on #4 rechecked vacuum,spark kv voltage, compression170to180 all cylinders, fuel pressure good, resyncked cam/crank and reset all adaptives still have misfire, Any ideas
mobile5 Posts: 22 things my 05 Pt cruiser also had the oil in plug wells. Required replacement of valve cover gasket kit, the entire kit not just the valve cover gasket. Seems to have worked... Change plugs before completing....2. Engine idling and running poor at different times usually after running at freeway speeds for awhile. Initially thought it was the throttle position sensor, replaced that and found one of the three wires on the tps plug to be bad. That was the real issue.... it was giving code P 0123 for high voltage detected. Using a scan tool I could see voltage fluctuate when returning to idle... It should be 13.7 then raise as you increase throttle position and come back to that when you let off... Mine would vary up and down widely if getting high voltage reading code try wiggling the top wire on the plug of the throttle position sensor or any for that matter. Good uck

I was curious why there isn't a powerlifting forum on here? Could we start one? Just a suggestion beings this is the suggestion box.
I was curious why there isn't a powerlifting forum on here? Could we start one? Just a suggestion beings this is the suggestion box.
this question was asked once before.
it is a BBing forum and Rob wants to keep that the main focus.
if you have questions about powerlifting, then just post them and people will help you. In my opinion, i don't see much difference in the trainign between BBing and powerlifting anyway.

Thanks guys just wondering. I have just seen them on other boards and was curious why there wasnt one here. I however do agree with both of you. Like you probably already know I am a bodybuilder and am just starting to do some powerlifting.
It would be sweet if this forum added a powerlifting forum. The training style is very different, but it seems most powerlifters are part bodybuilders too, and there are some that are pure powerlifters, the ones that don't really care at all about how they look
Just post it all in the training section.
There used to be a power lifting forum here. Nobody used it, so Prince just combined it with the training forum.

Determining the position of the robot Curiosity will be possible by studying the eclipses of Phobos, the larger of the two moons of Mars.
So far, locating the rover has been done using the data emitted by its antennae or by examining the images sent back to Earth by the probes orbiting the Red Planet.
A team from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, or UCM, developed a mathematical model designed to predict and be able to observe these eclipses from the surface of the Mars, a method that can be used to determine the location of the rover.
The work was published in Monthly Notices, the newsletter of Britain's Royal Astronomical Society.
The chance of the rover's antennae and other systems failing is very small, but if that were to occur an alternative for locating Curiosity would be to use the eclipses that it observed, as UCM's Gonzalo Barderas explained to EFE.
"The eclipses of Phobos offer an alternative method for determining the position from where the rover observed them," the scientist said, adding, "if it's known when the transit begins and ends, it can be determined where the robot is."
In Curiosity's case, with just two minutes of observations, using the data from the times of initial and final contact for the eclipses that it observed on Sep 13 and 17, it is possible to reduce the location error margin for the rover from kilometres to metres.
The mathematical model to predict the eclipses of Phobos was developed as part of the MetNet project, the aim of which is to deploy a network of meteorological probes over the surface of Mars.

We are hooked on this CSA. The quality of the food is great and all the people involved are knowledgeable and friendly. We've opted into the fruit share for two years as well and love it. Between our little patio garden and this share our kids know what real food is. They refuse to eat restaurant tomatoes. Wouldn't give it up for anything.

text: 5 Brilliantly camp nonsenseTruecolours | 07/06/2009 | See all Truecolours's reviews (45)Top 100 Music Reviewer This album will appeal to anyone who enjoys pure pop with a modern dance production sheen. Imagine Tight Fit taking part in Eurovision and you get the general idea of what to expect. Alcazar really 'sell' these songs - there's clearly a love for the genre and their enjoyment is infectious. Cleverly referencing the best bits of 70s disco (including the masterful Chic), the album feels more like a greatest hits collections that a debut. Standouts include 'Sexual Guarantee' and the hilariously melodramtic 'Crying at the Discotheque'. If your criteria for great pop is strong melody, amusing lyrics and uplifting chord sequences then this album is most definitely worth purchasing.
