Howdy, folks. We often bring you a 12-pack of Knicks thoughts on Fridays, but we hear that portion control is a big thing these days. We won't deprive you, because that's not healthy either, so here's a 6-Pack to munch on before you head off for the weekend. Hope you like it.
1. ESPN's Marc Stein has a pretty interesting piece on why Mike Woodson has yet to be fired. The Cliff's Notes version is this: James Dolan needs an 82-game scapegoat so that he can sell to Carmelo Anthony that a coaching change is what will fix the Knicks. Now, this is not the way to do business–even if the season is all but lost–but what else should we expect from Dolan? Whether or not the prospect of a max contract, bringing in a new coach and a co-star in the summer of 2015 is enough to keep Melo around remains to be seen (personally, I think it is), but that seems to be the Dolan's tactic.
2. I don't think there's any doubt whatsoever that the Knicks will hire a new head coach sometime this summer. We'll have plenty of time to talk about this and speculate and ultimately complain about who the Knicks target and who they don't (because let's be honest, that's what most Knicks fans are going to do). But I'm most interested to see the amount of clamoring for, and ultimately whether or not he becomes a legitimate candidate is Patrick Ewing. He's surely paid his dues as an assistant.
3. Something for the "Meaningless Things That May Or May Not Be Interesting" file: This season, the Knicks went 4-22 combined in the months of November and February. They were 16-15 combined in the months of December and January. The successful months have just about flipped from last year. Also, the Knicks are 25-46 since "The Elbow".
4. This deep-dive into Sport VU's data on touches by Jared Dubin highlighted data that debunks one of the dominant narratives around NBA and Knicks talk, that Carmelo Anthony is a ball-stopper. According to Sport VU's data, Anthony averages 3.09 seconds per touch, which is about about average among the league's top 25 scorers. Dirk Nowitzki holds the ball least per touch at 1.53 (an outlier of course being his game winning shot against the Knicks last week where he seemingly held the ball for a minute), while names like LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and James Harden, on average, hold the ball longer than Melo. That doesn't mean Melo can't fall into bad habits at times. But it just goes to show how people often default to preconceived notions. And this does not only happen with the Knicks and Carmelo Anthony, even if it often feels that way.
5. It's understandable that people disagree with Mike Woodson when he cites injuries as a reason for the Knicks' struggles. But there may actually be some merit to that. Consider this: out of the Knicks' top five most-used 5-man lineups, three of them have positive net ratings. And, uhm, Andrea Bargnani is in two of those three. And one of them includes Kenyon Martin, too. Now, I don't trust Woodson whatsoever to properly choose lineups when he has a full deck. But it's true that the Knicks' currently can't play some of their effective lineups because of injuries.
6. While I want to see the NBA do something about tanking, I don't think it's the only problem the league has in terms of competition. The main problem, to me, is one that has plagued the sport for a while and it's the lack of parity and severe talent gap between top teams and bottom teams. (The two are certainly connected, though. Teams know they need a franchise player in order to contend, and one way of trying to get one is to tank and draft one). In every other major sport, multiple teams have realistic shots at winning their respective title. In a given NBA season, there are usually only, at best, a handful of teams with a realistic shot. There isn't much drama in who's going to make the conference finals, even. The Eastern Conference is essentially a 7-month waiting period to get to Heat vs. Pacers, and while the West is more competitive top-to-bottom, Oklahoma City and San Antonio seem the clear favorites to meet each other down the line. Of any sport, I think the NBA would benefit the most from the NFL's amount of parity.

Do you mix them with other bedding? Should they be refined in some way or used as they are ? Should they be wetted down or will they become wet enough with other materials. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mostly, I just dump them in and wet them down. I'd love to have a leaf shredder, but that's not in the budget, and I figure that the worms will know what to do. In fact, they DO know what to do, and in a few weeks, you'll have black, loamy bits for the worms to swim in. Whether you add water or not depends on your bin's current conditions. If it's kinda too wet, but 'em in dry. If it's looking for a little water, either spray the leaves once they're in the bin, or soak them down before you put them in the bin and let the water drip down. |
You can pretty much do whatever you want with them. Mixing them with other bedding will prevent them from clumping. Either way, they will be fine. |

The ocean tides that rise and fall along the South Carolina coast reach their peak twice within every 24-hour period. Using a maritime metaphor, the most recent low tide for Kiawah's real estate market occurred in 2009. Since then, the market's tide has been steadily rising – evident by the recent swell in ocean-oriented properties.
Lifestyle at Kiawah
Stay up to date on news about Kiawah Island Real Estate, the most recent real estate releases, and the latest happenings on Kiawah Island.
Klugh…and Cole…and All That Jazz
On November 6th, with the first shimmering notes of jazz guitar sounding along the shore, Earl Klugh's celebrated Weekend of Jazz returns to Kiawah Island. The five-star Sanctuary Hotel will play host to the Grammy award-winning guitarist and a shimmering roster of music's brightest stars for the 3-day event.
Your Beach House Beckons
As August draws to a close on the Island, the end of summer announces itself with a slight shift in the marsh grasses' golden hue, a nearly imperceptible hastening of sundown on the water.
This Fall, Island Athletes Tri Harder
With miles and miles of paved trails, a ten-mile stretch of powder-soft shoreline, and a state-of-the-art athletics center, Kiawah entices fitness fanatics with a call to run longer, swim faster, bike further. On Sunday, September 21, the second annual Tri-Kiawah triathlon will challenge the Lowcountry's most disciplined athletes across the magnificent land and seascapes of the Island.
Coming Attractions
Just as the bustle of summer events wind down on the Island, a wealth of exciting autumn activities begin to rev up. With its enviable climate extending sunny, warm days well into fall, Kiawah and the Lowcountry introduce a roster of inspiring outdoor events beginning in September. From family-friendly programming at Freshfields Village to the cultural offerings of Charleston, autumn promises to be a memorable celebration of the seasonal riches available to residents.
August Distinctive Properties
Each month, our KIRE Sales Executives curate a special selection of Island homes, homesites, villas, and cottages. Distinguished by factors including value, location, view, and architectural detail, each property invites new residents to the distinctive Kiawah lifestyle and reflects the quality standards demanded by our Sales Team. This month's notable offerings are showcased below.
Kiawah's Summer Heats up with Landmark Sale
On Tuesday, July 15, history was made on Kiawah Island when 99 Flyway, a seven-acre undeveloped homesite with 250 feet of Atlantic Ocean views, closed for $22 million. It is the largest residential real estate transaction in the Island's history.
Makeover Monday: 546 Oyster Rake
When Craig and Sandie Buffie purchased 546 Oyster Rake, it was a 1980's dark den with worn carpet, heavy oak trimwork, dated light fixtures and basic kitchen and bathroom amenities. Originally built by a highly respected Kiawah Island builder in 1986, the bones of 546 Oyster Rake were never an issue for the owners, but the interiors and the landscaping on this double lot didn't take full advantage of the key feature of the house: beautiful views of Kiawah marshlands.
So the Buffies teamed up with lauded interior designer, Dina Lowery, out of Charlotte, NC and put five basic makeover principles in motion.
Celebrate the Fourth of July Island style on Kiawah
Commemorate the Red, White, and Blue in Island style this 4th of July on Kiawah Island. With miles of paradisiacal beaches, nature trials, parks, and a variety of exciting Island events and activities, Kiawah Island won't leave you looking for more this holiday weekend.
Coming Attractions on Kiawah
A number of events this spring marked a bustling season for Kiawah Island Real Estate. We played host to 200 people at the Piedmont Driving Club in Atlanta for an evening of family fun, fine cuisine, and an informal presentation of Kiawah and its offerings. In April, KIRE opened the doors to eleven exceptional Island abodes during our annual Tour of Homes. The event entertained 400 people and was followed by a reception at our main sales office.
The summer months ahead will bring a host of activity to residents and visitors alike. We've listed just a brief sampling of the Island's terrific seasonal events.

Eli Lake Loses the Basement Dweller Vote
A C-SPAN caller gets an earful from the Daily Beast's Eli Lake
C-SPAN, which delivers joy to so many terrible callers, got dashed with a little hot sauce from Eli Lake after a caller charged that Israel controls the United States government.
A question that may be difficult for some to answer is whether Lake's response was fair or appropriate. A better question: Should Eli Lake host his own call-in show on C-SPAN? Obviously yes.

At press time, funding stands at $1.03 million from nearly 15,000 backers with 18 days remaining.
Now that Shroud of the Avatar has reached its funding target, developer Portalarium has put its sights on stretch goals. If funding should reach $1.1 million, the studio will add social and combat pets. At $1.2 million, weather systems will be featured in the game. Should the campaign receive even more funding, additional stretch goals will be revealed.
Shroud of the Avatar is due out for the PC sometime in 2014, though an alpha version will be available to backers by the end of this year. Portalarium recently welcomed Dragonlance and Deathgate writer Tracy Hickman to the development team. He joins the company as lead story designer.

Avnery – The War for Nothing
- The Zionists' usual PR defense tactic of "one dead Jew is a larger crime than 1000 Palestinians" did not get swallowed like in the past.

With the Israeli assault on Gaza in its third week and the amount of civilian casualties still rising relentlessly, Israel's ambassador to the US, Ron Dermer, had some warm words for his country's troops.

The Israeli military objective is obvious: saving Benjamin Netanyahu's political career.
"A lot of squaddies I've met think there's something weird going on between Bush and Blair.
Israel's elaborate hasbara (propaganda) machine has done a sterling job over the years of distorting the truth and re-framing the Holy Land narrative to make the regime in Tel Aviv appear blameless and its war criminals sweetly innocent.
- All that is required for a war is a target, a nation with something worth stealing and a will to steal it.
…and basking under the special protection of Her Majesty's Government.
Press TV has conducted an interview with James Fetzer, professor emeritus of the University of Minnesota Duluth (from Madison), about China releasing a report on human rights in the United States.
The genocide, massacring, torturing, raping, slaughtering, several hundred thousand of innocent Afghan villagers are war crimes and human rights violations.

The latest developments regarding Syria are not remotely encouraging. A thoughtful editorial by the President of Russia in The New York Times (11 September 2013) has been belittled and ridiculed by political leaders in Washington, D.C.
"Hypocrisy, double standards, and "but nots" are the price of universalist pretensions.
Age Of Drones Spells Deep Long Term Trouble for USA as Billions of Global Citizens Reject Murder by XBox. While the USA sells its global drone murder program as more humane than traditional boots on the ground killings, the reality on the ground is that the USA is murdering innocent peoples in sovereign countries violating international law subverting and demolishing the once great U.S. global standing in the court of billions around the world; not the best way to win friends and influence people, ya think?
Even though the American Group Mind (AGM) has been successfully "Hived", it's hard for the Big Lies of the US Government (USG) to last forever thanks to the advent of the alternative news provided by the worldwide Internet.
On April 5, 2013, a 14-year-old boy with American and Palestinian citizenship was arrested by Israel; on April 11 he reached the military court at the Ofer Prison. It was an event which this website wouldn't have missed the opportunity to comment on it; yet, that didn't happen. Three days afterwards, Al Jazeera came out with the story, titling it "Israel arrests 14-year-old US citizen."
Let the Occupy Movement emerge from its long winter hibernation and focus its admirable energy on our spurious media!
Yes, it looks like it could be a permanent good-bye to the City of London Bankster's worldwide web-of-debt, a system using the hijacked US Petro Dollar as the world's exchange medium.
Zionist hatred is a plague on the planet – but America's biggest "anti-hate-groups" love it.

The BBC is a terrorist, war criminal organization – not only in its complicity in 9/11, as demonstrated by Tony Rooke in court on Monday, but also in its Iraq war propaganda.

Well, it looks like Obama is going to attack Syria with at most token opposition by the national antiwar organizations, as was the case when he "phoned in" the order to bomb the crap out of Libya back on March 19, 2011.
Why stop at the post of Israeli PM? Netanyahu should run for Anti-Christ!
More than 30 top U.S. officials, including presidents G.W. Bush and Obama, are guilty of war crimes or crimes against peace and humanity "legally akin to those perpetrated by the former Nazi regime in Germany," the distinguished American international law authority Francis Boyle charges.
The Veterans Today-led psy-op campaign against Israeli PM Netanyahu is starting to draw blood.
Kenneth Katzman says he'll boycott Press TV if they keep featuring guys like me who blame Israel for 9/11.

"I also followed some of the suggestions, I used 3/4lb cheese, but also included cooked bacon. Also I put half in the blender and it made it so creamy, and yummy!! Its a fabulous soup that my Huband loves, and he is very 'picky' over what he eats. Will be using this recipe a lot more in the future."
"I have never made Lemonade before, I didnt realize it was simple.Loved the taste, will keep making it. Thanks for putting this one on."
"Summer Pudding is a traditional English dessert, and this is the nearest. I am English and have made this many times, I would use Strawberries, not cherries. But its all down to what you like! I also save some of the juice, because when you turn it out there maybe some white patches left in the bread, then you can just pour it over them. A love..."
"I followed the recipe exactly, using clam juice and chardonnay. I used ready grated parmesan and found I had to raise the heat to melt in properly. What a fabulous recipe, my Husband loved it and we will certainly have it again. Even though the sauce is quite rich, it seemed a light meal. Thank you for this one."
"I used Salmon, shrimp and tillapia, the tillapia broke up, but was still very good. I didn't have the bloody mary mix, so just added some vodka!! My husband loved it and wants it again, but it was just a bit too spicy for me. Thanks for the recipe, will certainly use it again."
"I have never made Crab Cakes before, I was pleased how easy it was. A great recipe, better than any I have had at the well known Restaurants. I also chilled them for about 2 hours before I cooked them, and they were just great. Thank you for putting this one on the site - Try it, you won't be disappointed!!"

Dog biting me - dream analysis
THE DREAM - I was on some stairs. There was a friendly pet like dog there and I was being friendly to it. It then turned vicious. It bit me biting deep into the hand.
THE REALITY The dreamer was extremely sensitive to the plight of a dog living nearby. It was obviously been neglected and was tied to a post all day and well past darkness. He could hear its whines. He had made an effort to be friendly towards it. He had been ignoring it at night time walking past it. It was difficult to hear the dog whining as he went up the stairs into his flat.
DREAM ANALYSIS Dreams can be about the strangest things. Often they will be quite literal. In this case its fair to assume that this dream was actually about a dog. Dreams can be about little moments of real meaning. If something happens and really sticks in our minds or really moves us then it can cause a dream.
In this case the dreamer felt really guilty the night before. He had been trying to be friendly towards a dog tied up nearby. He made a point of stroking the dog. It was obviously very lonely and starved of contact. It was probably been turned into a guard dog. The dog had a few weeks before been a normal puppy which seemed well treated. Now it was ignored and tied up all day only brought in last thing at night. This sudden transformation in the dogs life had really changed its personality. It was changing day by day. Each time becoming more agitated and strange in its behavior.
The dreamer had tried to be friendly to the dog. But he did not like to pet the dog during the hours of darkness. The dog was obviously distressed being left out in the miserable cold weather. He found it difficult to walk past the dog.
This dream seems linked to this issue. The dog bite seems to link to the dogs increasingly wild state. It was showing real signs of agitation. He did not like to go the dog during hours of darkness because he knew it would upset the dog leaving it just a few minutes afterwards. He therefore just ignored the dog but felt really guilty. But he could not untie the dog. So it was best to just walk past.
Dreams can capture really difficult moments. This dream seems to link to this moment the night before when he walked past this poor dog nearby. The stairs seem to point to that moment of real difficulty when he walked up his steps.
Symbolic Meanings
DOG BITE : " The dog nearby was showing real signs of agitation. It was now acting more and more like an abused dog. "
FRIENDLY : " The dog nearby was a very friendly dog yet its plight was changing its character - it was now extremely distressed. "
STAIRS : " This moment of real guilt the day before took place whilst walking up his own steps (stairs) to his flat. "
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I hate seeing this poor dog suffer. Its becoming increasingly unhappy and whining. I especially don't like walking past it at night. If I went up to it I would only have to leave it still tied to the post. Its not my dog. Instead I prefer to walk past it and feel guilty. It is upsetting to hear the poor animal though. Its showing real signs of mental trauma. "

Both cool designs! The Gamer Nouveau though is gorgeous & my sister in law will love it! Bought!
I adore the "Gamer" design so much, but my only complaint is that most of the games shown are Nintendo-centric. I've never played any of them, so I feel a bit odd about wearing a shirt with them so prominent.
Now, if there was a PC- or PS-centric version, or even just a more generic one, I would buy that in a heartbeat. The design is stunning and I love it.
Is the gamer one supposed to be Vivian James?
Gamer Noveau... want waNT WANT!!!!!!!!
Since Gamer Noveau is hard to understand... just search Alphonse Mucha ;)
You are welcome
Please please PLEASE make Gamer Nouveau available as a poster. I need this in my life!
Woohoo! I love the gamer design. Do I want it on a shirt or on shoes? I can't decide!
Seeing how I already have the Mario Yakuza shirt, I have to get Luigi. Been waiting a loooong time for this design. :)
Awesome! Got the Luigi to match the Mario I have. I really like the Gamer tee and all it's references but just not my style. Great job artists!
I love the Gamer Nouveau design! It fits my personality and style perfectly! It must be added to my Tee Collection! :)

Yeah, the only thing worth watching on that channel is cinematech, the rest of it is...horrible horrible. Arena? It's a freaking joke, the people there are amateurs and suck, why are people spending half an hour to watch these guys play?! Watching replays from youtube ore google videos is much more entertaining =_=.
Adam Sessler is the only guy on the channel who can crack a funny joke (but that's only because his voice is kind of funny sounding). The rest...including Morgan Webb just don't have this talent and I cringe whenever they try.
And their reviews are horrible, there is no point breakdown or anything. They try to give a funny summary of the game...but sometimes they try to stretch the funny and forget the summary. I recall one review being nothing but a series of grunts (Boring! Stupid! STUPID! MORE STUPID! Awesome! RETARDED)
But Morgan's hotness makes up for it at least. She's always wearing that lip gloss and it works for her <3.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.citizen.com Off the main road: Instruments at Ashland fret shop often tell a story
Sunday, September 28, 2008
ASHLAND — For many cultures, music is a form of storytelling and preserves the past for future generations to enjoy. It is fitting that one of New England's premier repair facilities for stringed instruments — Vintage Fret Shop — helps conserve the virtual voices of history.
Nearly four decades ago when he first started the business, Colburn recalled seeing a classified advertisement in a local newspaper offering several musical instruments for sale. He called about the ad and ended up traveling to Campton to meet with an elderly woman. During the visit he bought a number of guitars that had been stored in a closet and the woman told him there was another one in the barn that he could have because it "wasn't any good." Scouring the outbuilding, Colburn said, he ferreted out the "smashed remains and accepted it gratefully." Examining the pieces, Colburn said, he discovered the instrument maker has glued up Popsicle stick-sized pieces of wood to make the curved outside rim of the body of the guitar. Explaining that wood is typically bent to give the guitar body strength, Colburn said when this backyard builder first strung the instrument and began to tighten them "it imploded." He envisions the builder tossing the ruined instrument behind some bales of hay where it remained for nearly 100 years before he recovered it. As Colburn continued to examine the pieces he spotted an inscription inside the back of the guitar that read, "Made under Haley's Comet May 1, 1910 John G. Hayward." Scientists, Colburn recounted, had discovered that the comet's tail contained poisonous gases and some believed that as the Earth passed through Haley's tail people would die. "I imagine this guy rushing to get this guitar finished and rushing to play it. It is an interesting commentary on guitar building," he said. The back of the guitar is now framed and hangs in the shop that once was the town's blacksmith shop, overlooking the Squam River. Shortly after opening the business in 1970, Coburn said the daughter of one of the blacksmiths who worked at the shop brought in a photograph of her father Tommy Vaillant taken in 1924 as he was forging a pair of andirons for the Packard mansion. The Packard family opened the woolen mill in Ashland that employed generations of townspeople until it finally went defunct. Scot Maywalt is among the skilled staff that works at the shop and is possibly the only instrument repair technician in New England who can boast of a degree in Philosophy of Religion. Colburn said Maywalt is able to work wonders with string instruments of all kinds. His banjo restoration work is especially notable and he is a certified Fender repairperson. In addition to his repair skills, Maywalt performs everything from biker rock to international dance music and composes some very unusual works of his own. Among his prized possessions is a 1730 French-made violin that he purchased from a traveling Hasidic Rabbi. Maywalt said the Rabbi also happens to deal in violins when he is not working his full-time job in New York City inspecting commercial kitchens to assure they remain kosher. He laments that the history of the violin has been lost. The dealer bought it from a New York woman who told him it had been stored for a number of years since her fathers' death and that she knew nothing else about it. He secured the violin on a handshake deal, recounting once he saw it he announced he had to have it but would have to go home to get his checkbook. The dealer told him to take the instrument and that he would take payment the next time he stopped in. Maywalt said he walked on eggshells for nearly eight months before the Rabbi returned and he was able to pay for the violin. Maywalt explains that 18th century violins represent his collecting niche. Instruments made after this time during the advent of the soloist movement feature longer necks and other internal changes that made them sound more robust, he said. The shop offers a wide range of instruments from an extensive collection of acoustic guitars to the unusual such as a Ukrainian bandura, a massive 55-string instrument that combines the elements of a box zither and lute to a San Hsien or Sanxian Chinese three-string featuring a Cobra-skin body covering. Lifting a mandolin from a rack, Maywalt explains the Chinese make some good quality modern instruments, "The Chinese prejudgment is starting to go out the window. They make a good product unless you're buying milk," he said. Their staff specializes in appraising instruments and typically within a half-hour they can examine an instrument and use reference books and the Internet to determine its value and what repairs may be needed. The business prides itself on its friendly environment and customers browsing the shop are encouraged to pick up any instrument and give it a try out. "We try and carry a broad cross section with things that are both inexpensive as well as premium," Colburn says. While the shop is a Mecca for performers, Colburn laments that the name sometimes confuses the general public. During foliage season, Colburn said many tourists spot the "Vintage" in the sign and presume they sell classic clothing, walk in and quickly do an about face and walk out chagrined when they spot guitars hanging from the ceiling instead of racks crowded with clothing. "I hear people talk about (talent) a lot. I think it's really the ability to focus. I've been performing for 45 years and meet some teen that can play circles around me. What it means is somebody doesn't play video games," Colburn said. Musicians from all over the world have found great company, quality repairs and inspiring musical instruments at the shop and they keep coming back. And Colburn and staff hope that you will too.

Reconsidering history with jazz guitarist Nir Felder
At the time that guitarist Nir Felder was writing the music for his debut album, the world around him seemed to be in the midst of momentous changes. It was 2011, and headlines blared news of the global financial crisis, the Arab Spring, the Occupy Wall Street movement, and President Barack Obama's reelection campaign. The events couldn't help but start Felder wondering about the future – as well as the past. Continue reading →

Norco has achieved the holy grail of a mature design that lives up to marketing expectations ie a one-bike-does-it-all for a rider on a budget. The Fluid Two is very versatile and is at home in an exceptionally wide variety of trails and situations. It can be ridden in cross-country trails or multi-day epics yet can also handle more aggressive technical trails (short of massive airs, or dirt-jumping). Although Norco markets the Fluid lineup as more biased to XC trails, this bike can be more appropriately described as a competent downhiller that also happens to climb very well. Simply adding a heavy duty wheelset or a heavier set of DH-casing tires would expand the Fluid Twos range significantly .

Ford Windstar Transmission
hollowaytata Posts: 3My brake light has been on for awhile but now I have a loud humming or something the faster you drive the louder it gets and I don't know if it is the brakes or if it is something else cause my husband has already changed the front brakes not even a year ago and it sounds like it is coming from the front I just don't know what it is. I don't want to pay to have something done and it not be the problem. Any ideas please help. :confuse:
mfacdgba33 Posts: 19check the ball bearings, cv boots, and ball joints. it may just take some packing with grease or you may have a bad cv joint or ball joint. The ball joints and cv joints are factory sealed so you cannot add grease to these but you really must have the ball bearings inspected to make sure they are not broken or burnt up. If it is the ball bearings and they get worse you are risking the wheel to seize up. You also might also want to make sure there isn't a rock or a piece of metal from the wheel manifold isn't rubbing the disc. After all this is checked you should find your problem.
crs1890 Posts: 1hi i know it was 2 years ago but what was the problem with the transmission on your 98 ford windstar because the same thing is halping to me thanks you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Hello All;
My Ford Windstar (3.0L) has approximately 122,000 miles on it and has recently developed a serious transmission problem. The van will not start when Drive "D", or the first gear "1", or reverse gear "R" is selected. The only way it starts is to select the second gear "2" and move to "D" when it picks up speed. It then drives well and can even do reverse parking.
This causes probles at traffic lights, stop signs and other stoppages. I have to manually move the gear selector to "2" and then move it back to "D" when the van is moving.
It appears that my transmission is on its last legs. Any ideas/sugegstions for fixing this problem will be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance, -
07exlres Posts: 11Mine is a 1999 3.0L Windstar w/180,000 miles. Tranny runs fine on initial start, other than maybe a bit more than expected of a clunk upon shifting out of Park into Reverse or Drive when cold.
After a period of driving (usually 20-30 minutes -- possibly heat related?) the O/D light begins to flash. At speed, there is no perceptible change in transmission performance when the light begins to flash. As I continue driving with the light flashing, if I slow to a stop and/or start from a stop, the downshift to/upshift from 1st/2nd is abrupt, especially if accelerating briskly. Remaining upshifts/downshifts not involving 1st gear seem normal.
Shutting the ignition off and restarting immediately will turn the flashing light off for a while but the flashing returns shortly, unless the vehicle sits long enough to cool, in which case the 20-30 minute time frame reasserts itself.
From what I have read, this "sounds" like a Transmission Range Sensor issue. Anyone have an opinion in favor or otherwise? I assume an OBDII can't read tranny codes. Would a Ford dealer be able to confirm the TRS as the culprit by reading a code? Wonder what that would cost? Might be cheaper to just replace the TRS and see what happens.
Thoughts? -
moonie2 Posts: 3Well, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, I had the same thing happen right after I picked up my van after having the tranny completely rebuilt. Turns out it was a bad nuetral safety switch. Actually the OBDII can read it.
Since I just paid $2500 american to have my tranny rebuilt, they fixed it for free. I think it is around $100-$150 to have it fixed.
Good luck! -

dolvol Posts: 2I was driving my Ford Windstar and all was fine, no slipping no jerking, nothing. Today I went to the store and all of a sudden I went from Drive to Nuetral and it will not go into any gear other than park. The shifter moves normally but nothing happpens. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or similar problem.
Thanks :confuse: -
boss302j Posts: 15Sounds exactly like what mine did, splines inside the torque converter stripped out that drive the pump drive shaft. I put a converter in mine and has been fine. Find a reputable shop if you aren't going to check it out yourself. I have the feeling a lot of trannys get sold due to this problem.
bozie100 Posts: 1I am having the exact same problem with my trans. Was wondering what you found out also. Please email if you can email@example.com

windstarsle Posts: 2After driving for a while transmission disengages. Pull over turn engine off, restart, van drives normal. After few minutes or if speed slows down at traffic light or to make a turn, transmission disengages again. Engine runs fine. After restart engine and transmission run again after slowing down, etc.
seloo Posts: 606I have had my 00 transmission serviced every 30K or so.
Just before my last flush, at 130K miles, I noticed the TC shutter and a slight slip in OD when the van was under a load (mostly uphill in 4th gear).
After the flush, these problems disappeared. I am not sure how long this thing can go!
Maint Record:
30K drop plan and replace filter
63K Flush only
93K Flush and filter change
130K Flush only -
cdog707 Posts: 4I see that other people have similar problems to mine. The tranny seems to have lost 3rd and sometime 4th gear, I can start in 2nd, get enough speed going, and put it in drive, sometimes it slips and I have to slow down and do it again. I overloaded it with about 600 lbs or more of tools one day and it messed it up.
I was just wondering if anyone knows how hard it is to pull the tranny out, Ive done many others and I am a good mechanic but never pulled any front wheel drives, so I'm lacking some confidence. I can get it rebuilt for about $600. but I gotta remove and install it myself. -
conquest Posts: 4thought i would give this a shot here,see if anyone has any advice, besides dumping this 2000 Ford Windstar. It has a 3.8 in it too by the way. The transmission shifts fine,no clunking,between shifts,or hard shifts,just this whining all the way through all the gears. I took it to a transmission shop,they put it on the diagnostic machine,said it was the transmission range sensor. The odometer isn't working either or the cruise control. The transmission fluid is clean,no burnt smell to it. any help would be appreciated
theboss2 Posts: 1just looking around saw your problem. i just changed mine in the driveway.not to hard average skill in my opinion can do this.but take your time dont rush. i left motor in van. you will need a 30mm socket to remove axle nuts.and a 18mm for motor mounts all the rest regular tools will do it. make shore all harness wires are unplugged.one more thing it took me 3 jacks to lift and line it back up slowly take your time. i spent 800. to rebuild mine way better than a used one .van runs fine now.wifes happy again hope this helps . theboss2
mommabear21 Posts: 1I have a 1995 Windstar. The transmission has been good till about 3 days ago. I drove te 20 miles to pick my hubby up and it drove fine. I let t sit and idle while I waited on him because it was like 5 degrees outside. I sat there maybe 20 minutes. After we started going it wouldnt shift out of first. We drove 20 miles at 15-20 mile an hour because it wouldnt shift. We got home and when I went out the next morning it drove fine. I went to pick him up and again let it run while I waited on him and as soon as we left it started it again. I drove it yesterday and it was fine. Why would it not be shifting after I let it sit and idle?
mindy6 Posts: 2I JUST BOUGHT A 2002 FORD WINDSTAR SPORT VAN.WELL I STOPED AT A STOP SIGN THEN I WENT TO TURN AND ALL SUDDEN THE VAN MADE A CLUNKY CLUNKY NOICE AND NOW IT WONT MOVE.IT STARTS UP GOOD BUT IT WONT MOVE.WHEN I START IT IT MAKES A AWFUL NOICE .IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME PLEASE.NEED TO NO WHAT YOU THINK IT IS
hoppy2784 Posts: 2I am going to remove the transmission from a 99 windstar and would like to know about the best way, I have heard that you can take out from top with engine attache and also take out from the bottom with the engine being supported from above. I have removed front wheel drive transmissions before but not from any vans. any ideas will be appreciated.
jeffyscott Posts: 3,855
ecire425 Posts: 1I have a 2001 Windstar and yesterday went to city walk i started to see the check engine flash and the car was rattling like shaking a bit but doesn't get heated up or anything and the oil on both the transmission and engine are fine. When in parking its fine but when shifted to any other one it begins to shake a bit. Any info on what could it be would be great. Thank You
scott119 Posts: 3Our 1999 Windstar transmission began slipping today. It happens when we are accelerating from a stop, the engine revs as if the transmission is in neutral. If we back of the accelerator and try again, the transmission catches and goes fine. Again, but every time we stop it does it again.

I have a 2008 SR5 Access cab and I want covers for the front and rear seats (taupe). I am looking for a cheaper option than the wet oakle (sp). I know they are nice, but its like $400 for those. I tried the factory front bucket covers, and hated them (they wern't comfortable to sit in in my opinion)
Anyone have good luck on any other types? I want a complete set that also covers the back fold up bench seats. Thanks in advance

Diane's trip report day 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 & 8(going home)
Trip report day 1:
We got up at 4:30 a.m. and were only 10 minutes late leaving for the airport. Im told it was my fault. Oh well, we had a VERY short line at security so no problem. Our flight even left a few minutes early and with a strong tail wind, we arrived in Orlando nearly 30 minutes ahead of schedule! Since we only had one small carry on bag with our clothes, and a computer bag for each of us plus my oxygen machine, we were able to walk right from the gate and down to the National car rental Emerald Aisle. (thanks to Owners Locker) We checked in at OKW and learned we were indeed going to be in our preferred area of 45/46, so we parked our car down there after picking up our very HEAVY Owners locker and headed to the Studios. We were inside the park and headed for Toy Story Mania by 12:30! The board outside TSMM said the wait was 60 minutes, but in fact the line only took 35. That is the shortest time we have ever waited at that attraction! We laughed at how close our scores were. Dick had 130,000 and I had 130,400. I usually beat him by more than that! Oh well, its only the first game of the trip, so we will improve with practice. After leaving TSMM we went through the animation studio and did our first drawing of this trip .BOLT was the subject. After finishing our drawings it was around 2, so we called to find our room was indeed ready and we were assigned 4621. On arriving back at OKW and building 46, we discovered it was the exact same unit we had in January! How unusual is that??? We LOVE this location great view and its very quiet. Well except for the happy birds in the morning, but thats one kind of noise I enjoy. After getting our stuff put away, we headed over to the grocery store and then made our way to Wilderness Lodge for our dinner reservation at Artist Point. Dinner was wonderful as usual, and after a fantastic dessert of chocolate mouse, we headed over to Epcot to meet up with John at his Owners Locker meet in France. John is a great host, and we saw a lot of DIS/DVC folks whom we hadnt seen for several years. After Illuminations, we headed back to OKW and fell into bed!! Today is another day, and we arent even sure where we will go today. We thought maybe back to the studios and possibly AK later in the day. Who knows we might just take the first bus that comes along! So much for trip planning. I like these relaxed schedules! |
We just returned Friday from OKW and I am in such withdrawl - TRs always help!!! Thanks for posting!!!
Hey Dianne, glad things are working out so well with your trip so far. Can't wait to read more. It will bring back great memories of our stay at OKW last summer and get us ready for our upcoming trip back to The World.
Keep following that stress free plan you made and have a great time! Marvin |
Sounds like fun so far! :thumbsup2
What a wonderful start to your trip! Have a great time.
Bobbi:goodvibes |
Sounds like your trip has started out beautifully. Oh how I miss building 46 and that incredible view. Have the time of your lives!! :goodvibes
Glad your trip started out so well. Have a great time!
Diane, you're making me homesick! This Jun it's BWV for the most part but I did manage to get my waitlist for our 1st night of vacation at OKW.
Enjoy yourselves, while we live vicariously through your trip report until we can get there! :yay: |
Sounding great! Enjoy, look forward to reading more!
.....such a cute pic of Diane and Dick....hope you don't mind my sharing...

Sounds like a great start to your trip! Will you be at the OL wine event on the 12th? If so, maybe we'll see you there!

Queensborough Community College's program in Nursing was established in 1967 and is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN). Queensborough has enjoyed a long history of graduating competent, caring nurses. The program of study is offered in both the spring and fall semesters, with an evening program available in the fall. Because we believe that nurses must be well educated, Queensborough offers two dual/joint programs with Hunter/Bellevue School of Nursing and York College. Students may apply for these programs while enrolled in their first clinical course in Nursing, NU 101. These programs facilitate students moving seamlessly on for their bachelor's degree. CUNY also offers an online program for the bachelor's degree, through the School of Professional Studies (SPS) and students may apply before they graduate from Queensborough.

EN 101 | English Composition I | 3 |
PSYC-101 | Psychology | 3 |
MATH-119 | Math | 3 |
BI-301 | Anatomy and Physiology I | 4 |
Pre-Clinical Credits | 13 |
Cost: $65
Test duration: 4 hours (expect to stay for the entire 4 hours)
Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled exam start time
ONLY students attending Queensborough Community College are eligible to register
MUST have a CURRENT VALID Queensborough Community College photo ID (new Current student ID)
You will be required to present this upon entering the Testing Center
If you fail to meet this requirement – you will NOT be able to sit for the exam and will FORFEIT the testing fee
Prospective students must take the National League of Nursing Pre Admission RN exam - (RN PAX) at the QCC campus only. Exam scores from other institutions will NOT be accepted. REGISTRATION END DATE for PAX RN exam will be 2 days prior to TEST DATE. Recommended book for preparation: NLN Pre Entrance Exam 3rd edition ISBN #9781884826278: http://www.nln.org/testingservices/ns/ns_gs_studyguide.htm
Test Date: 10/30/14 - Thursday 5:30pm
All undocumented students who are interested in nursing are strongly urged to contact the CUNY Citizenship and Immigration Project which will provide free counseling and assistance to all CUNY students who need help with their immigration status. Their website is http://web.cuny.edu/about/citizenship.html. Students may also visit the QCC Office of International Students & Center for Immigration, Room L-431 in the Library, telephone 718-631-6611.
The Evening Program is only offered in the fall semester. Application forms for the Clinical Program are available in the Nursing Department office, Medical Arts Building, M-302. Consult the nursing website regularly during the semester to check application filing dates. The application form should be completed the semester prior to starting NU-101.
If you have previously made an application and have not been accepted or were unable to accept your seat, you can reapply for the next semester.
Optional - Preparation for the PAX Exam
NEW Nursing Pre-Admission (NLN PAX) Exam Prep
Charlotte Muller, RN
This prep course prepares the student for the National League for Nursing Pre-Admission Examination(NLN PAX), a standardized entrance exam for potential nursing students who seek admittance into Nursing Schools. The following three main areas of the PAX Exam are covered: Verbal Skills, which consists of both word knowledge and reading comprehension; Mathematics, which includes basic calculations and word problems; and Science, which reviews general biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science.
This course is offered under two schedules (see below) aligned with the Fall 2014 PAX Exam dates offered by QCC's Nursing Department.
Required Textbook: National League for Nursing, Preview Guide for RN Pre-Entrance Exam 3rd edition by Jones and Bartlett
NUX-195 | (20 hours)/$299. |
TR | 10 sessions/Tuesday and Thursday, 6:30 - 8:30pm, September 16 - October 23 (skip 9/23 and 9/25) |
SA | 5 sessions/Saturdays, 9am-1pm, October 25 – November 22 |
Admission to the Clinical Program is competitive. Eligibility for application does not guarantee admission. Results on the RN PAX will be reviewed in combination with the students GPA to determine a priority score for applicant selection. Applicants achieve a ranked score for PAX and GPA after all applicants scores are ordered from highest to lowest in each of these areas. The priority score for each student applying for admission during that semester is determined by the average of these two ranked scores. Potential NU-101 students will be identified based on this priority score and the completion of all other admission requirements.
The final acceptance of qualified applicants will be decided after assessment of each candidate's communication ability. Communication readiness for safe clinical nursing will be determined by Nursing faculty in collaboration with the Speech Communication and Theatre Arts Faculty.
Transfer students from other institutions must be in good standing. Students who are on academic probation, or have been dismissed from a nursing program at a previous school are not eligible for admission to the Clinical Program. No transfer credit will be given for nursing courses taken at another institution. All nursing courses must be completed at QCC. All non-nursing courses will be evaluated for credit by the College Registrar. Transfer students seeking entrance can be advised by nursing faculty during regularly scheduled advisement sessions. Consult the nursing website regularly during the semester to check for advisement dates.
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN's) currently matriculated at Queensborough Community College and who have been accepted to the Clinical Program may attain advanced standing into NU-102 by successfully completing the following examinations:
Students who have a current L.P.N. license and believe they qualify to take these examinations should contact the Nursing Department (Medical Arts Building, Room M-302).
Current laws generally permit a state licensing board or agency to deny a license to practice nursing if the applicant has been convicted of a felony or other specified crime. Like many state licensing boards, the Office of the Professions of the New York State Education Department requires that a criminal background check be conducted prior to granting a license to practice nursing.
The Department of Nursing at Queensborough Community College does not require a criminal background check for admittance, but the Department's educational requirements include placement at one or more hospitals or other off-campus clinical training sites, and these sites frequently require a student to undergo a criminal background check before the student can be placed for clinical training. If, based upon the results of a criminal background check, the site determines that a student's participation in its clinical training program would not be in the best interest of the site, the site may deny that student admission to the training program. Even if the student has already begun the placement when the results are received, the site may elect to dismiss the student, regardless of the student's performance while in the training program.
Each clinical training site that requires a criminal background check sets its own standards and procedures, and you may be asked by the site to pay the cost of the background check. You may also have to complete more than one criminal background check during the course of the Nursing program at Queensborough Community College, depending on the number of sites where you are placed and the requirements of each site.

Number Line
Writing numbers down on a Number Line makes it easy to tell
which numbers are bigger or smaller.
The Number Line
Negative Numbers (-) | Positive Numbers (+) |
(The line continues left and right forever.) |
Numbers on the left are smaller than numbers on the right. |
- 5 is smaller than 8
- −1 is smaller than 1
- −8 is smaller than −5
Try this interactive number line (click to mark):
You can also try the zoomable number line.
An Example
Example: John owes $3, Virginia owes $5 but Alex doesn't owe anything, in fact he has $3 in his pocket. Place these people on the number line to find who is poorest and who is richest.
Having money in your pocket is positive.
But owing money is negative.
So John has "−3", Virginia "−5" and Alex "+3"
Now it is easy to see that Virginia is poorer than John (−5 is less than −3) and John is poorer than Alex (−3 is smaller than 3), and Alex is, of course, the richest!

Absolute Value
Absolute Value means to think only about how far a number is from zero.
For example "6" is 6 away from zero, but "−6" is also 6 away from zero.
So the absolute value of 6 is 6, and the absolute value of −6 is also 6
