I have an 09 with a factory radio with the ipod connection in the glove box. I have no manual on this setup in my truck documentation. I bought this truck new. The radio has been replaced one time due to another problem. The Ipod plays ok when connected to the radio, but does not advance to the next song without me using the advance forward button on the radio. I have no idea whether this is the way it should work or not. It is fustrating if this is all it will do.
Is this normal? If so, what can I do to get it to advance to the next song without my help. Nothing is wrong with the ipod. It shuffles without being connected to the radio.
Any help would be appreciated.

When Neil Friedenberg put out fliers and posters announcing a pickleball clinic at Kolbach Park in Port Washington, the first question some people had was, "What's pickleball?" "Some people say, 'Oh, that's when you're caught between two bases and the other players try to tag you out' or 'That's what we learned in grade school.' Some think it has something to do with Claussen pickles," said Friedenberg, a transplant from Seattle who grew up playing the game that most people here never heard of. But mention pickleball to the 33-year-old and his eyes light up. He's quick to point out it's the fastest-growing sport in America. People of almost any age can play it and be competitive, he said. "I love it," Friedenberg said. "It's very addictive. The great thing is you improve very quickly." The game is named after its mascot, a cocker spaniel named Pickles who loved to chase balls. The game supposedly was invented in 1965 by two desperate fathers who set up a badminton court for their bored children while vacationing near Puget Sound in British Columbia. Unable to find shuttlecocks or birdies, the dads substituted a Wiffle ball. When the kids complained they couldn't hit the ball far enough with the badminton rackets, the fathers cut paddles from plywood. They lowered the net so the younger children could hit the ball over, made up rules to take away age advantages, and the game was born. The kids dubbed it pickleball because Pickles kept chasing the ball. The families perfected the game and introduced it to their friends. It quickly took off in the Seattle area and soon spread throughout the state of Washington. It is popular in retirement communities in Arizona and Florida, where pickleball tournaments are held. Friedenberg was about 12 when his father Mark taught him to play. His father, a retired computer programmer in Seattle, started playing the game in the 1980s when pickleball courts were installed in his company's fitness center. He played with co-workers during lunch hours. His father took the game to a higher level, competing in and winning tournaments. He acquired Pro-Lite Sports, which makes paddles and other equipment, and built up the business, designing new paddles, experimenting with composite and graphite materials and different weights and shapes. The paddles are sold worldwide, Friedenberg said. "My father, who's 65, still beats the pants off me, and I'm a good player," he said. "He allows me one mercy point, then racks up 11 straight points (the number needed to win a game). I try to use my power, but he uses finesse." His father is the U.S. doubles pickleball champion and former president of the USA Pickleball Association, which sponsors tournaments and promotes the game. In August, Friedenberg opened Pro-Lite Pickleball Shop from his home, determined to bring the sport to the area. Friedenberg is a substitute teacher in the Port Washington-Saukville School District, the junior varsity tennis coach at Port Washington High School, teaches sand volleyball summer school classes at Thomas Jefferson Middle School and is a tennis instructor for the Port Washington Parks and Recreation Department. He convinced the department to install two pickleball courts at Kolbach Park. The USA Pickleball Association provided $250 to purchase two portable nets that can be used outdoors or indoors. Friedenberg provides the balls and paddles, which cost between $47 and $63. Friedenberg hopes to find a gym where pickleball can be played in winter. He didn't realize he was so addicted to the sport until he moved to Wisconsin to pursue a physical education and health degree at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. It is where he met his wife Carrie, who is from Port Washington. When he visited her parents Bob and Joan Priesler, he fell in love with the city. "I saw the lake and I knew this is where we would live," he said. "I've always lived around water." Carrie is a special-education teacher at Saukville Elementary School. She plays pickleball, but not to the extent her husband does. Her parents are learning the game. "It is fun," Mrs. Priesler said.
"You get quite a workout," her husband added. Port resident Karen Gazzana plays pickleball two to three times a week in Ocala, Fla., where she lives during the cold months.
"We stand in line to wait for a court," Gazzana said. "Most of our tennis courts have been converted into pickleball courts because it's easier to play. We sometimes shorten the games to seven points so more people can use the courts." Friedenberg, who puts on clinics throughout the area, said the most rewarding thing for him is to see people who are unsure of themselves gain confidence as they master the game. "As a phy-ed teacher, you emphasize lifelong sports, and this is an excellent lifelong sport," he said. "The other day I had a call from a guy in Colorado who said he played tennis for years but can't play anymore. He said, 'I played pickleball for the first time today and I want to play more. What kind of paddle do you recommend?' "I've had people say pickleball saved their lives because they had become so sedentary and now they're active again." Friedenberg wants to develop a program that pairs middle-school students with senior-citizen partners. "It's such a fun, social game," he said. "What better way to promote communication between generations than to play together?" A free pickleball clinic that was rained out last Saturday has been rescheduled for 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 30, at the pickleball courts at Kolbach Park in Port Washington. For more information, call the Port Washington Parks and Recreation Department at 284-5881 or Friedenberg at (262) 844-8236.

About the Manufacturer
Rogar was founded in Abilene, Texas in 1975. The goal then, as now, was to design, manufacture and market top quality products. By focusing on fine craftsmanship, unique products and innovative packaging, Rogar has become a leader in the sales of antique-style wine openers, hanging and wall-mounted pot racks and other fine products.Rogar International Corporation has been the premier name in speed wine openers since it's introduction of the solid brass Vintner in 1975. Like Rogar's current Champion and Estate wine openers, the Vintner was based on the "Champion Cork Removal System" made by the Arcade Manufacturing Company using Michael Redlinger's American patent of 1897. Even then, the Champion had the unique ability to uncork and recork. Rogar took the orginal's mechanical concept and has continued to enhance it with modern matierals. Although the Vintner is no longer inproduction, and has become a collector's item, Rogar's Estate and Champion wine openers are now the fastest, easiest and most stylish way to open a wine bottle. They are fast, simple, and foolproof.
As we enter a new millennium, Rogar has kept pace with the times. Although the inspiration for their wine openers comes from the past, the technology is 21st century.
All their Estate and Champion openers have been designed to work on the newest flange top wine bottles as well as standard wine bottles. They even can be used to open corked olive oil bottles.
All Rogar products are proudly crafted in Virginia, USA, and carry a one-year limited warranty.

Not a day goes by when bored corporates don't share an amusing or inflated cover letter or resume – now a simple, to-the-point email has made international headlines.
On Monday, one Wall Street banker received an email from a young applicant hoping to secure a summer internship – yet instead of flicking it straight through to HR or to the junk folder, the banker was struck by the applicants' refreshing and honest approach. Sending it onto some mates, the email has since gone viral.
It has been reported that people on Wall Street are calling it one of the best cover letters they have ever seen. As the cover letter was sent around to bankers via email, it becomes clear that numerous recipients are touched by the young man's honestly, and have intentions to hire him.
He acknowledged that it is highly unusual for undergraduates from "average universities" like the one he attends to get internships at such prestigious organisations – but hoped on this occasion they would make an exception.

I'd hire him in a heart beat!
fantastic. honest, down to earth, direct and without all the bull crap. this person is definitely interested in making a career for themselves. such an approach should be nurtured.
It is realistic, honest and yet his intentions are clear. He realises what starting at the bottom and working your way up means, rather than having an expectation to receive a high pay with little experience. Yes, when I receive cover letters like this, I would always have a conversation with the person to judge how genuine it is and then likely interview.
I would absolutely give this young man a call to follow up on wha the has stated in the letter. It is rare to find a young job applicant who doesn't have overinflated ideas of what jobs they will do and their salary expectations bring a smile to the face. Some even think they will be telling their boss how it will work and some actually will be clear that they are above any menial tasks. if he is for real hire him now.
The problem these days is that we are asked to sell ourselves (esp: skills) so that we stand out from our peers, so it is very difficult to actually be honest. Particularly as a graduate with the catch 22 situation it is almost inevitable.Truly this is the type of attitude we should be promoting. I remember how difficult it was for me as a graduate to get my foot in the door.I hope the person got the internship & wish him the best of luck.
Communication to a "t", honest, direct and simple.
So did he get the internship?
Fine for an unpaid internship although I wonder if he'd make the cull for anything else? Personally I like the approach but know that in order to 'stand out' for the right reasons, something like this approach may fall on the wrong side of the line all too often.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:Great Christmas gift! I bought one for a friend who's a real 'Nigtmare Before Christmas' fan and almost two months later, the little arms are still going great and the toy as a whole is still in good working order.
Cons:There's only been one problem with this gadget - once it's seen, everybody wants one! I'v had to pass on details of this website to all my co-workers so they can also order one. Surprisingly addictive action once the cord is pulled and his little arms start to wave.
OtherThoughts:Not suitable for very young children but would probably amuse most children over 6 ... and definately the majority of adults that have seen mine.
Bottomline:It's a great price for a fun little gadget. Next time I'm going to buy in bulk to take advantage of the great discounts.

When Derek Jeter retires at the end of this season, he will leave the major leagues as one of 37 players to appear in 2,000 or more games in a career spent entirely with one team, and the third player to join that club in as many years, following Chipper Jones and Todd Helton, with Jimmy Rollins still rolling along with the Phillies.Start Slideshow
The Yankees have a rich history of such players, as Jeter will join Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and Bernie Williams in the exclusive club to have played at least 2,000 games and only donned the interlocking NY.
What about the rest of Major League Baseball? Here are the all-time leaders in games played for each club by players who never suited up for anyone else. In the case of teams that have moved, records listed reflect current team names — for example, the Dodgers and Giants go back to Brooklyn and New York, while the Twins and Nationals records do not include Washington and Montreal. -
Drafted in the third round in 1989, Salmon played for the California Angels, the Anaheim Angels, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the 1993 American League Rookie of the Year had five 30-homer seasons in his career.Next
Active leader: Howie Kendrick, 1,053 -
A first-round draft pick in 1987 out of Seton Hall, Biggio collected 3,060 hits while serving as the Astros' catcher, second baseman and center fielder. He was a seven-time All-Star and should be bound for Cooperstown soon.Next
Active leader: Jose Altuve, 486 -
Billy Beane's era isn't the only time that the A's have been active traders, which is why the franchise's all-time leader in games played without ever suiting up for another team is an infielder who played in Philadelphia and Kansas City from 1941-55, with a career OPS of .627.Next
Active leader: Daric Barton, 551 -
Acquired from the Yankees' farm system in the 1976 expansion draft, Iorg had a .639 career OPS as a utility infielder, with his best season coming for the 1985 AL East champions. His reign as the Blue Jayest Blue Jay is about to end, though.Next
Active leader: Adam Lind, 929 -
The No. 1 pick of the 1990 draft was the National League MVP in 1999 and batting champion in 2008. There will be no controvesy about his hat come Hall of Fame time.Next
Active leader: Jason Heyward, 657 -
A first-round draft choice in 1973, Yount won the American League MVP as a shortstop in 1982 and as a center fielder in 1989 on his way to 3,142 career hits and the Hall of Fame.Next
Active leader: Rickie Weeks, 1,121 -
Stan the Man was MVP of the National League three times, part of three World Series-winning teams and a St. Louis institution until his death last year at the age of 92.Next
Active leader: Yadier Molina, 1,301 -
Mr. Cub twice was MVP of the National League, and twice led the Senior Circuit in home runs. He finished his career with 512 dingers, but never did get to the postseason.Next
Active leader: Starlin Castro, 733 -
An All-Star in 2011 and this year, the Venezuelan catcher is signed through 2017, having been in the Arizona organization since signing in 2001 as a 17-year-old.Next
Next on list: Paul Goldschmidt, 462
Inactive leader: Brandon Webb, 199 -
A ninth-round draft pick in 1966, Russell was an All-Star shortstop three times, and hit .294 in 49 career playoff games, including a .423 performance in 1978 that was not enough to get Los Angeles past the Yankees.Next
Active leader: Andre Ethier, 1,257 -
Ott debuted with the Giants as a 17-year-old in 1926, and remained with the club until 1947, hitting 511 home runs in a Hall of Fame career that saw him lead the National League six times.Next
Active leader: Pablo Sandoval, 841 -

Only two players have managed to stick around Miami long enough to play 1,000 games — Luis Castillo and "Mr. Marlin," Jeff Conine — although obviously both also played elsewhere. Stanton, the best power hitter in the National League, is subject to speculation about when that will pally to him.Next

Inactive leader: Reynel Pinto, 244 -

95 points and three stars from the Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines: "As if to prove that the winery can handle all sides of the Pinot potential, this wine is full and rich, deep and concentrated and simply loaded with sweet red cherry character. It is not overly heavy, but it makes a weightier impression than its mate above, and in so doing, invites service with substantial hunks of roasted meats from standing rib roasts to garlic-laden legs of lamb. And like the wine above, it is guaranteed to show great growth with bottle age." (10/08) 90 (+?) points from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Dark red. Youthfully brooding aromas of cherry and dark berries. Densely packed blackberry and bitter cherry flavors are slow to unfold, eventually offering spicier red fruit qualities and good spicy cut. The finish leaves chewy dark fruit notes behind and packs a solid punch. This needs decanting, or bottle aging." (May/June '09) And, according to the Wine Spectator: "A savory, herbal style, with tea, dried cherry and berry fruit and hints of sage and underbrush. This is supple in texture and gains complexity. Drink now through 2011. 257 cases made." (Web only, 2008) ETA: This wine is due in the first week of Sept 2009.

Welcome to the next installment of the .NET Nuts & Bolts. In this column, we'll focus on creating simple charts and graphs using the Microsoft .NET Framework. This will involve using classes in the System.Drawing namespace. Charts and/or graphs can be very useful in both Windows-based and Web-based applications for pictorially displaying information and statistics. There are tools such as Crystal Reports that can be used to generate reports. There also area number of charting tools such as Chart FX, Dundas Chart, and TeeChart that will allow you to create robust charts and graphs for display within your applications. However, it isn't always feasible to purchase licenses for these tools, especially if the application is relatively simple or is constrained by a low budget. Lucky for those with a shoe string budget, the Microsoft .NET Framework includes the classes in the System.Drawing namespace. Creating a chart or graph using the Microsoft .NET Framework is easier than one might expect. The degree of difficulty of the chart is based on the complexity of the information you are trying to display and the shape you are trying to use to display it. The basic steps of creating a chart or graph are as follows: The following sample class demonstrates how to create a dynamic image that contains a pie chart. It takes the background color, width, height, and an array of decimal values as the input. The PieChart object sums up the values and draws the pie chart for each value as a percent of the total. Each section of the chart will be drawn in one of the ten colors that have been set up. In the example above, we saw how to dynamically create an image that contains a pie chart based on our data. It is nice to have a chart as long as you can actually use it in an application. The following sample code contains a Web page that can be used to generate dynamic charts or graphs. The page uses query string values to indicate what type of chart is to be constructed and contain data points for rendering the chart. The page sets the content type to image to ensure the result is treated as an image. Using the Web page in the above example, we now have a Web page that will return an image when accessed. We will use this within a Web application to display the chart. The following code contains the code behind of a sample page that has an image control. We set the ImageUrl of the image to the URL of our Web page, including the appropriate query string values. This will cause the chart image to display in our application. Now we have built a chart generation tool that will allow us to return images that contain various custom charts. There are all sorts of enhancements that could make this even more valuable. Here are some ideas for you to consider. The next column has yet to be determined. If you have something in particular that you would like to see explained, please e-mail me at email@example.com. Mark Strawmyer, MCSD, MCSE, MCDBA is a Senior Architect of .NET applications for large and mid-size organizations. Mark is a technology leader with Crowe Chizek in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Canon's newest version of their wildlife staple lens, the 500 f/4.

Please let us know if you would like to have a Wimberley type plate included with the lens.

If it has been "tolled" does that mean the statute doesn't apply even if the case hasn't moved forward?
Tolled means something else. But, for the purposes of your question, once the case has been filed, the statute of limitations doesn't apply. However, you do have a right to a speedy trial. If you are waiving time, then you are waiving your right to a speedy trial. You can pull your time waiver at any time and have the case proceed much more rapidly.
I'm going to answer this a little differently. Sometimes, a case is filed within the statute of limitations but the defendant isn't served with it or is otherwise unaware of it for many years. Perhaps a warrant was issued and never served. Later, he/she is arrested on the warrant, or fimds out about the case and wants to get it resolved. In these situations the defense is not that the charges were not filed in time but that your rights to a speedy trial were violated. There are some foundational facts to establish, but if they are proven the case must be dismissed.
In other situations, as mentioned, such as sex and fraud cases, the statute doesn't begin to run until the date it is discovered or reported. This could be many, many years after the event is alleged to have occurred. It is a similar but different situation, and you may be arguing some of
the same principles.
If you are dealing with a case that didn't surface until a long time after it is supposed to have happened, you should consult with a criminal defense attorney to find and attack the case.
If the statute of limitations normally had run for the case for which you have been charged, then the time limitations MAY have been tolled. Certain crimes allow for tolling when the discovery of the offence or the reporting of it happen within a certain frame of time. Without more info, it's impossible to tell.
Statute of limitations = time within to file a complaint or charge against someone in court.
Misdemeanors - must be filed within one year
Felony - varies depending on case - some have no limit like murder but generally is the maximum prison sentence possible - most are 3 years.
Speedy Trial - If not brought to court within 1 year for a misdemeanor then presumed prejudice to the accused and Due Process is presumed violated. DA can sometimes get around this but hardly ever on a misdemeanor.
Felony is a bit different - mostly you have to show prejudice - like witnesses have died, memories have faded, the list goes on and on.

Europe is different from Afghanistan, North Africa is different from Afghanistan, The Nazi's are different from Afghanistan. Do you not get it? Afghanistan has faced foes more powerful than the US and they have always won. They NEVER lost a war and they NEVER give up. Staying there is only going to amount to more deaths.
That is .. completely incorrect. Alexander the Great conquered it. Gengis Khan conquered it. Chandragupta Maury, as well as the various times Afghanistan has been part of local empires. So I'm not sure where you get the idea that "they" have never lost a war. For that matter, who is "they"? The Pashtuns? Let's ignore the treaty of Gandamak where the Afghans ceded territory to the British so they wouldn't invade the rest of the country (sounds a lot like giving up); the Taliban is willing to enter into talks with America. Seems pretty odd for people who never give up.
Both the Macedonians and the Mongolians were fought off inevitably by the indigenous people of Afghanistan. Nobody has ever conquered that land and neither will the US.
By the logic that they were eventually fought off, no land has ever been conquered. What political entity has existed throughout the entirety of history? Protip: none. Nope, Afghanistan has been conquered many a times, and Afghans have surrendered plenty of times. Learn some history on the area.
There have been so many cases where land has been conquered indefinitely that your argument is incredibly moot. The UK for example is a nation where Vikings conquered the Saxons and that government is still in place. The people never fought off those invaders. even places like India and PNG gained their independence peacefully. Afghanistan, not so much. Macedonia and Mongolia couldn't win.
Ah, so England is still part of tribal confederacies of Celtic Britons? Or no, wait .. it's still Roman territory? Or no wait, it's still Norman territory? It's interesting because it only became a unified "England" of sorts in the 10th century, so how it's always existed is very strange to me. Oh right, Alexander couldn't win, which is why he founded Kandahar, and Genghis Khan couldn't win, which is why after utterly decimating Khwarezmia, he would later move on to invading the Islamic world and Eastern Europe. Yep, couldn't win. The Muslims couldn't win either, which is why the major religion of Afghanistan totally isn't Islam.

I may be wrong but does this not contradict the rulings in the Heller and McDonald cases? These regulations should not even be able to pass any preliminary reviews. Not that these lawmakers who push this crap care at all about the constitution!

ashe is quickly becoming one of the easiest champions to counter... anyone with a blink and burst combo devastates ashe. add CC and it's a certainty. XZ wrecks her.
Silent Reaper
Although your guide is okay...I really don't think anyone should have problems killing Ashe lol...
I play Ashe a fair amount. Ashe excels at harassing and kiting melee champions, but struggles against champions who can close distance, CC and burst. Tristana is sort of an Anti-Ashe. However the most important tactical counter is to keep a few minions in front of you. If Ashe wants to last hit (and she should), this reduces the effective range of her Volley from 1200 to basically her auto-attack range (600). From that range, Tristana's rocket jump (800), Master Yi's Alpha Strike (600), Katarina's Shunpo (700), Shaco's Deceive (500), Jax's (Leap Strike), Ryze (Rune Prision), etc. can all take her down. Distance closing or ranged CC abilities that are less effective are the skill shots that also target minions (Sticky Bandage, Rocket Grab, Infected Cleaver, etc.). As far as avoiding her ULT, keep moving, particularly when you are entering or leaving a battle with another champion. If you're tower hugging or tower pushing, don't stay in one spot too long. If you're fleeing a fight, don't run in a straight line. Banshee's Veil is pretty much a hard counter. Also - when I play Ashe, I like to drop a ward at some of the spots where champions like to pop into the bushes to recall. Don't be predictable. Easy kill.
Cloaked Figure
I should point out that Yi has an ability which makes him immune to slowing. This negates Ashe's trump card.
Any good Ashe wreaks melee champion that have no natural life steal/heal through CS or having vastly superior late game. Xin Zhao is probably one of the easier MU for Ashe as early game creeps deal to much damage and you have turrets for defense. Late game you have 4 allies to defend you. There really is no counter to Ashe that makes her useless or not worth (unless her team has terrible picks) . Even if you pick Kass, Olaf, Poppy you put so much into countering her that her team will roll you over while she still initiates every fight. There is a reason why Ashe is at least top 3 carry in the game currently.

Artemis Pharmaceuticals signed a research agreement with Merck & Co. to construct a large number of shRNAi-genetically engineered mouse models for the in vivo functional analysis of selected disease-related genes. The agreement represents a significant initiative to undertake a large-scale approach to gene-function analysis using shRNA knock down in genetically engineered mice as models for human biology.
Under the terms of the agreement, Artemis will generate genetically engineered shRNAi knock-down mouse models for Merck using its vector construction, ES cell transfection, and inducible RNAi technology. Merck will provide selected shRNA sequences that correspond to mouse genes that may also play a central role in human diseases. Artemis will use its technologies to achieve constitutive as well as inducible functional down-regulation of the expression of the gene targets provided by Merck.
Should bans on science education, of the sort imposed on Iranians hoping to study physics and engineering in the United States, encompass other nationals and other fields of study, including biotechnology?

Tommy Smith is hoping to prove that he is not a spent force after signing a one-year contract at Brentford.
The 34-year-old has been offered a 12-month deal by the Sky Bet Championship new boys after impressing in training over the summer.
Smith is determined to get his career back on track at Griffin Park, having endured a tough end to his time at Cardiff City.
Having tumbled down the pecking order in south Wales, the experienced forward spent the 2013/14 season in the shadows as he failed to make a single Premier League performance.
Smith was left disappointed at his lack of playing time, but is delighted to have seen Brentford take a chance on him and provide another opportunity to prove his worth.
He said: \"I had a great time at Cardiff but my chances were limited last year. It's a long season when you don't play.
\"I still think I've got a lot to offer and there's some running in the legs left.
\"In the summer I found myself in an unusual position where I was without a club, and you're constantly looking at the phone waiting for it to ring.
\"It was a worry because you want to be sorted somewhere and I missed the first few weeks of pre-season, which was tough.
\"I had to do bits on my own to try and keep myself fit but it's difficult to replicate what you would do in a group.
\"I know the manager Mark Warburton from my time at Watford and he let me come in and train. We spoke every day and after two or three weeks we got it sorted.
\"It's great to be part of a club that's going places. Everyone is hungry for success and looking forward to the future.
\"I want to play on as long as I can and feel as fit as ever. The aches and pains are worse in the mornings but I can still keep up with the youngsters.\"
