Telephone Etiquette and Social ChangeEveryday Sociology Blog11 Mar 2015 | 3:09 pmBy Karen Sternheimer In the second grade, I remember seeing a film in school about how to appropriately answer the telephone. This was way before cell phones came on the market and the phone we learned to answer was presumably the family's main phone line. I can still recall some of the lessons. Be polite—say hello first, and allow the caller to introduce himself or herself. If they do not do so after the hello, it is okay to say "who's calling, please?" The answerer was never to pick up the phone and say "who's this!?!" as it would sound rude. Interrupting was very bad;…

Magical Thinking vs. Sociological Reasoning25 Mar 2015 | 11:42 amBy Karen Sternheimer A student of a colleague had failed a course after rarely attending and not completing several assignments. The ones he did complete were poorly done; he did not see the instructor in office hours despite repeated invitations to talk about improving his grade during the course. He earned 25 out of 100 points in the course, and perhaps unsurprisingly, an F. But to my colleague's surprise, the student emailed after seeing his final grade, asking if there was any way he could earn a C in the course (which typically requires 70%, well above his 25%). Maybe the instructor…
Why is the World so Screwed Up?19 Mar 2015 | 10:09 amBy Peter Kaufman The title of this post may seem like a rhetorical question but I am actually quite earnest in asking it. Each day, we hear about countless instances of greed, hatred, violence, and destruction, and all of the pain, suffering, and sorrow that ensues. Although the ubiquity of these problems makes them seem so normal and ordinary that we may not even question them, I don't think it's possible to be a sociologist without wondering why these horrible social ills exist. The list of "screwed up" things is a bit overwhelming to comprehend because there are so many…
Debates Surrounding Gentrification16 Mar 2015 | 12:00 amBy Teresa Irene Gonzales Recently a friend asked me if gentrification is ever a good thing. The question arose from a conversation regarding the ongoing gentrification of the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago; a place where I grew up and where much of my family still lives. In answering the question, I realized that sociology helps to both make sense of this changing neighborhood and also consider how Pilsen relates to other communities across the U.S. that are also dealing with the effects of gentrification.The Pilsen neighborhood has historically been home to waves of working-class immigrants.

The data consists of 943 articles in total: 353 published in Acta Sociologica, 277 in Sosiologia and 313 in Dansk Sociologi over the period 1990–2009. We distinguish between three main types of article: those having no or very little empirical content; empirical articles applying qualitative analysis; and empirical articles…
The Hidden Internationalism of Elite English Schools30 Mar 2015 | 3:45 amAnalyses of UK higher education have provided compelling evidence of the way in which this sector has been affected by globalisation. There is now a large literature documenting the internationalisation of British universities, and the strategic and economic importance attached to attracting students from abroad. Within the schools sector, it has been argued that parents are increasingly concerned about the acquisition of valuable multicultural 'global capital'. Nevertheless, we know little about whether 'internationalism' and/or the inculcation of 'global…
On Ambivalence and Hope in the Restless Search for Community: How to Work with the Idea of Community in the Global Age30 Mar 2015 | 3:45 amSociologists have been debating the idea of community for over a century with some continuing to suggest that it has no relevance in the contemporary world. Attempts to turn to other terms – such as 'social capital' – have not worked and many scholars have suggested that the desire for community has increased in a world of global insecurities. Gerard Delanty's work on the communicative construction of community is the best attempt to unpack the contemporary meaning of the word yet he underplays the dangers of community and he stops short of contemplating the…

Are we more or less honest than a hundred years ago?12 Mar 2015 | 12:49 amAre the citizens of the U.S. more or less honest than a hundred years ago? Is there any longitudinal research that explores this question? I'm always hearing people decry the corruption and dishonesty of people in general, but from what I can tell, we have always been ripping each other off. Is there any solid research, like a workplace integrity test or something, that has been consistently administered over the last 50-100 years that could answer this question meaningfully?

Can you recommend one that covers these main ideas, frames them in terms of contemporary theorists, and is fairly accessible?
examples of technologies or social institutions that are "stuck"9 Mar 2015 | 7:52 amHIVEMIND! Does anyone know of any examples of technologies or social institutions that are "stuck" at some sub-optimal state, where we recognize that there are better alternatives out there, but everyone is just used to the current situation and coordinating a huge shift is just too difficult? The clearest example I can think of is having the Qwerty keyboard instead of the Dvorak, where we know that one is better but instituting it would require massive coordination and huge startup costs.

My Stepfather ( who has raised me since I was two) suffered during his upbringing. He never met his father and his mom neglected a lot of her motherly duties. In a lot of ways he raised himself. I believe that his upbringing had everything to do with why he could never display signs of affection towards me growing up. I received the material satisfactions from my father but emotionally…

Mobile Phones and Enforcement Retreat6 Mar 2015 | 6:43 amBy Adam Snow, PhD student, Criminology According to reports out recently we are in the midst of a retreat from road policing enforcement of mobile phone use behind the wheel, although some novel ideas (ironic font) are being used. I leave aside the serious claim made by Suzette Davenport, the Chief Constable of Gloucestershire, that enforcement is being back peddled due to the upcoming election.

What is the Meaning of Syriza?28 Jan 2015 | 3:17 amBy Dr Mark FeatherstoneWhat is the meaning of Syriza, the big winners in the Greek elections earlier this week, whose rise to power led the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, to warn against increased economic uncertainty and turbulence? The root of Cameron's concern is clear – Syriza are against austerity and want to renegotiate the terms of Greece's bailout package with the EU and centrally their German creditors. It is well documented, by writers such as Costas Douzinas, that Greece's debt repayment plan has effectively destroyed the country's social structure and left…

New paper by Ala Sirriyeh on class and the new UK family migration rules14 Jan 2015 | 4:30 amIn July 2012 the Conservative–Liberal Democrat Coalition government introduced a new set of family migration rules. These rules set a sharp increase in the minimum income threshold for people sponsoring partners and children to join them in the UK. Consequently, there has been a significant reduction in the number of visas granted through the family migration route. The journal Critical Social Policy has just published an article I have written which examines these new rules. The article is called ''All need is love and £18,600': class and the new UK family migration rules' and…

Partly just acknowledgement that many of them, as well as many of the students, had personal ties to the young man who was killed, or personal reasons to feel close to the matter. And partly advice and teaching resources for being ready to deal with both the…
academic hot takes17 Mar 2015 | 7:21 amA post over at orgtheory reminded me of this nice bit by Jeff Goodwin: Hypothesis number one: For any book to become widely cited today, let alone to influence how people think, it must be reducible to a few general and easily grasped formulations. Many texts are "formulated," furthermore, not by their authors, but by more or less officially designated readers (call them DRs), including reviewers for academic journals. Books that cannot be formulaically summarized by DRs, accurately or otherwise, are unlikely to generate much discussion, let alone change minds. The process of…
what are we measuring when we measure behavior? elementary school edition12 Mar 2015 | 1:26 pmOrganizations (and/or authority figures within organizations) are frequently called on to make consequential decisions about individuals. These decisions range from who to admit to a selective undergraduate institution or graduate program to which mortgage applications to accept to which prisoners should be paroled. The organizations and individuals have at their disposal varying kinds of information, which are perceived as being differently valuable in making those decisions. For example, in undergraduate admissions, we may know a student's GPA, their SAT score, their class rank, the…
the society of exit26 Mar 2015 | 3:50 amIf death used to be a 'great career move' for rockstars - if only that were still the case - it is hard to escape the sense that being axed is now a 'great career move' for the mega-celebrities, who occupy the intermediary space between the secretive private jets of the billionaires and the spectacles of broadcast media and major sports. In the UK, Jonathan Ross and Kevin Pietersen are two examples of this. Jeremy Clarkson is clearly another. These individuals represent a particular class of celebrity: hugely rich, 'talented' in the sense of willing to 'be…

the seduction of behaviorism13 Jan 2015 | 5:05 pmI have a piece in The New Inquiry, entitled 'The Data Sublime', exploring the strange everyday appeal of technologies of surveillance and control.

Here's a chunk: The notorious Facebook experiment on "emotional contagion" was understandably controversial. But would it be implausible to…

Normally, when we think about why successful firms exist, we think that they have a unique product, fill a niche, or have some sort of incumbent advantage. Or just overly aggressive management. But in a world of Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, it's difficult to understand what Sears does well. Why aren't they gobbled up by Lowes or Home Depot? Or dismembered by selling off its prime real estate holdings? You see the occasional article on the topic. Forbes in 2011 claimed that it was…

One of the privileges of being in the dominant group is that you don't have to worry about how…
To Kindle a Fire22 Mar 2015 | 5:42 amMarch 21, 2015Posted by Jay Livingston"Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day" (Exodus 35:3). Orthodox Jews extend this prohibition to electricity. No flipping that wall switch or pushing the start button. But Jews have figured out ways of getting around this restriction – keeping to the letter of the law without having to endure the least inconvenience. Last June, I blogged (here) about the shabbos goy – the gentile you pay to come in and light the oven. ("Hey, God only said that I couldn't start the oven. He didn't say anything about…
Freedom and Freeloaders11 Mar 2015 | 2:41 pmMarch 11, 2015Posted by Jay Livingston A Wall Street Journal op-ed heralded Wisconsin's "right to work" (RTW) law that Gov. Walker signed earlier this week. The column carried the byline of Luke Hilgemann and David Fladeboe of Americans for Prosperity, which gets a ton of money from the Koch brothers, so their support of the anti-union measure is no surprise. One of their arguments is that RTW states see a greater growth in jobs and income. Or put another way, capital will move to where labor costs are low. If a corporation shifts its work to a…

Paddy O'Carroll21 Mar 2015 | 5:00 pmThanks, Paddy. I'm very sad to hear that Paddy O'Carroll died this weekend in Cork. He was one of my first teachers in Sociology, and a man of deep intelligence, humanity, and insight into Irish society and especially its political community. Famously disorganized in lecture, he was nevertheless sharp as a pin in conversation. I can't count the number of times he brought me up short with some observation or anecdote that I'd spend the rest of the day thinking about. He taught me each of my three years as an undergraduate, he supervised my M.A. thesis, and he urged me…
Gender and Citation in Four General-Interest Philosophy Journals, 1993-201324 Feb 2015 | 4:00 pmLast Thursday I gave a talk at the American Philosophical Association's Central Division meetings about patterns in publication and citation in some of the field's major journals. I have a more extensive analysis of the data that's almost done, but that deserves a paper of its own rather than a post. Here I'll confine myself mostly to descriptive material about some broad trends, together with a bit of discussion at the end. I examined patters of publication and citation in four high-prestige, nominally general-interest journals within Anglo-American philosophy. The…
Another Look at the California Vaccination Data2 Feb 2015 | 4:00 pmUpdate: Updated to identify Catholic schools. (And again later, with more Catholic schools ID'd.) I took another look at the vaccination exemption data I discussed the other day. This time I was interested in getting a closer look at the range of variation between different sorts of schools. My goal was to extract a bit more information about the different sorts of elementary schools in the state, just using the data from the Health Department spreadsheet. As we saw before, the smaller the unit of observation the more variability we are likely to uncover. So, looking at the rate of…
Vaccination Exemptions in California Kindergartens28 Jan 2015 | 4:00 pmCalifornia Kindergarten PBE Rates by Type of School, 2014-15. (PDF available.) I came across a report this afternoon, via Eric Rauchway, about high rates of vaccination exemption in Sacramento schools. As you are surely aware, this is a serious political and public health problem at the moment. Like Eric, I was struck by just how high some of the rates were. So I went and got the data from the California Department of Public Health, just wanting to take a quick look at it. If you want to follow along, I put up a github repository with the data and R code for the plots. I'll just confine…
American Movie19 Jan 2015 | 4:00 pmUpdate, January 22nd: Now with plots standardized per thousand films released that year. It's time for another episode of Data Analysis on the Bus. This one follows from an exchange on Twitter, prompted by the coverage of American Sniper about the tendency to use the word "American" in film titles, especially when you want things to sound terribly serious. This led to a bit of freewheeling and it has to be said perhaps tendentious cultural theorizing on my part. Rather more usefully, it also prompted Benjamin Schmidt to send me some IMDB data containing film titles with the…

Reading Social Science for Dummies27 Mar 2015 | 7:23 amHere is a crash course in how to wade through the headlines in a not-so-foolproof list of steps. A) When you see "study says" or "a new study…" in the headlines, remember that it is most likely one of several studies and likely not a definitive result. B) Note the news source you are using. If it is on Fox News, Huffington Post, or MSNBC, the probability is high (but not 100%) that the results might be misrepresented. C) Google or find a link to the original article and read the abstract (at least!). It's one to two paragraphs but can definitely tell you a…
New Pub on Phenomenologies of Racial Power, with Jennifer Correa27 Mar 2015 | 7:19 amMy colleague and dear friend, Jennifer Correa, and I recently had our article on Latino border patrol agents and the dynamics of racial power published in the new American Sociological Association journal, Sociology of Race and Ethnicity. Entitled, "The Rebirth of the U.S.-Mexico Border", in it Jennifer and I expand upon Nick Crossley's "phenomenology of power" to articulate the dynamic interplay between race, space, and power as it's practiced in the policing of brown bodies by brown bodies along the U.S.-Mexico border. We describe a phenomenology of…

Family income, parental education related to brain structure in children and adolescents30 Mar 2015 | 11:32 amCharacterizing associations between socioeconomic factors and children's brain development, a team including investigators from nine universities across the country reports correlative links between family income and brain structure. Relationships between the brain and family income were strongest in the lowest end of the economic range -- suggesting that interventional policies aimed at these children may have the largest societal impact. The study, led by researchers at The Saban Research Institute of Children's Hospital Los Angeles and Columbia University Medical Center, will be published…
Damselfly war games27 Mar 2015 | 12:41 pmBefore a male damselfly hot-headedly enters into a duel of aerial sparring, it first works out its strategy. It gives its opponent's wings a once-over to assess its strength, knowing that more transparent wings and larger red spots generally show a stronger rival. Those who then decide to engage in long fights either try to wear their opponent down, or dazzle them with brilliant aerial moves that are too hard to follow. These damselfly war game strategies are set out in a study published in Springer's journal The Science of Nature -- Naturwissenschaften. Two research groups united forces to…
Intergenerational transmission of abuse and neglect more complicated than previously believed27 Mar 2015 | 10:35 amA study led by Cathy Spatz Widom, Distinguished Professor of Psychology at John Jay College, found that offspring of parents with histories of child abuse and neglect are themselves at risk for childhood neglect and sexual abuse but not physical abuse.

Le Palais Idéal29 Mar 2015 | 6:41 pmFerdinand Cheval was a French postman who dedicated 33 years of his life toward building a castle out of stones that he collected and molded together with lime, mortar and cement. One day while delivering mail he tripped over a rock and recalled a dream that he had years earlier of himself building a palace with caves. Picking the rock up he put it in his pocket and set out to bring his dream to life. The end result was Le Palais Idéal (The Ideal Palace) in Hauterives, France. He originally wanted to be buried inside his palace but that was illegal according to French law so he…
Aniyunwiya26 Mar 2015 | 10:06 pmThe word Cherokee is actually an English variant of the word Tsala'gi (Cha-la-gee) and meant "Mountain People". On some of the earliest European explorers' maps of the U.S. the Spanish and French labeled the Cherokee lands as "Chalaqui" and "Chalaki", names that they had gotten from surrounding tribes they encountered first. Other tribes referred to the Tsala'gi as the Rikama'gi (Rick-ama-gee) which meant "Mountain Water People". In 1776 when Tsiyu Gansini (Dragging Canoe) formed the Tsikama'gi (Chickamauga) in…
Abstract Nudes20 Mar 2015 | 8:20 pmEarlier this week I began working on a new style of abstract nudes with a friend of ours. The idea that I have is to drip different colors of hot candle wax onto the model's body in different patterns, shoot photos of her body and then edit the images later in Photoshop. I'm not sure if this is going anywhere yet. The concept that I began with will probably evolve over time through trial and error, but these are the first two images that I created with her.
My First Model: Kaci14 Mar 2015 | 6:08 amDuring college I met Kaci in a class when we paired up together to work on a project.

Over the next couple years we worked together on numerous shoots ranging from suggestive nude portraits to more X-Rated photos. Hundreds of images, some of the best shots that we took together, were lost forever when my detachable hard drive crashed but among those that remain these are some of my favorites. Oddly enough they were the first ones that we took together. Having her willing to pose for me whenever…

Roethlisberger wedding reception held in hall without restrooms
PITTSBURGH, PA - After a quiet, private ceremony, Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his new bride Ashley Harlen held a wedding reception in a hall devoid of restrooms. The decision to make the reception restroom-free was reportedly made by the bride, though everyone on hand agreed it was a good idea.
Arrangements were made to have the restrooms off limits to all wedding guests and a guard was posted in front of the doors specifically to keep the groom from entering. Organizers also went out of their way to ensure that any and all restrooms within a four block radius of the 'Spirit of Pittsburgh' event center were closed off. "The new Mrs. Roethlisberger wanted her wedding day to be perfect," said wedding coordinator Katie Anderson. "And having the groom wander off into a restroom with one of the bridesmaids falls short of perfection."
In lieu of having available restrooms, each table at the reception was provided with a gatorade bottle and a Terrible Towel. Guests were also encouraged to go outside and relieve themselves on the side of the building, which also happens to be a Pittsburgh tradition employed by the natives to help the general aroma of the city.
Wedding guests report that the reception was a beautiful affair, marred only slightly when Ben spent several minutes fondling the plastic bride figurine on the cake before ceremonially slicing the first piece to share with his new bride.

ABR Innovative Marketing
Instructor: Matthew Rathbun
Duration: 8 Hours | VREB Hours: 6 CE – 3 PL
One of the reasons why licensees fail or only achieve modest success is their inability to focus on the consumer's needs and to market their services accordingly. In the past, marketing courses have dealt with marketing the seller's property as opposed to marketing to the buyer. Structured to inspire novel marketing approaches to create a personal "brand" this course encourages students to look everywhere for differentiating marketing opportunities that grab the attention of buyers.
Registration will end three days prior to class Classes with fewer than 8 people pre-registered may be cancelled Agents missing more than 10 minutes of any CE/PL class can NOT receive credit All CE, PL and Designation Courses are presented and processed by Four Pillars Education, Inc. a licensed real estate school in Virginia.

Nice Alexander! Welcome to the world of stabilized wood, nothing better for me. Stag is high end and hard to come by for the good stuff. The woods are affordable and easier to work with. The varieties are endless
Chris, thanks for the pointers. I had planned on using 1/4" mosaic pins mostly and maybe some tubing with flared ends. If I do small pins I will drill them as needed either before or after heat treat. I just didn't have carbide bits in the larger sizes so I elected to drill my big holes up front. I may do some Corby's or Loveless bolts too. I kind of do whatever strikes my fancy at the time. If I decide to go with small pins I will drill them undersize as you suggested then hand auger the holes before I pein the pins.
Nice work Tom. What size diameter pins are you using? The holes in the tangs seem rather large for pins. I found that the pins for a handle for me work best at just about 0.001-0.009 (a few Thousandths of an inch) smaller than the hole in the tang. The more space around the pin against epoxy rather than metal is more chance for the Pin to Fail holding the Scales. Epoxy or any Adhesive should never be the Primary means of Handle Attachment. That is why pin holes through the Tang should be as close to the Diameter of pin as possible so when the Pin is hammered it makes a Metal to Metal bond with the tang.
Thanks Jan! Maybe if I live another 50 years I may get to be good at this! I wish that I could interface with other makers - preferably nearby - to learn from them. Learning is soooo slow when it's by trial and error and from making mistakes first! I did run into a couple of guys at the Gator Knife Club show recently over in Lakeland (the first real knife show that I have attended). I'm hoping to get together with one or more of them to help speed up my learning curve! I have a bunch more knives sketched out but have been somewhat limited by funds to buy steel, etc. to start on more knives. Plus I really am trying to stay focused and not start too many new projects until I get this batch of knives off to HT. I'll start the next batch while this one is getting tempered. I've got a big box full of exotic woods, another with micartas and different colors of G10 just waiting for the right knives and I've been collecting (my wife would say hoarding) leather and exotic leathers such as elephant, sting ray, ostrich shin, crocodile and cape buffalo for when I get to that point with this batch of knives and subsequent ones. I'm hoping to get set up to etch my logo on my blades as well as do Kydex sheaths fairly soon. All in due time...hopefully!
WOW have you come a long way! These are not only looking good but I like the diversity!
Hey Alexander,
I had them all ground to about 220 grit or so I believe and did hand sanding higher but then decided to drill holes in handles to lighten them up and allow epoxy to flow from side to side. Drilling the holes left some burrs that I knocked down with a file so the handles still are a bit rough in places. I will probably block sand them by hand again before I send them off to heat treat. I still have some work to do on the stick tang blanks and the two big knives that still have the paper patterns on them before sending off to HT too. Thanks for your comments.
They look good to me. On some of em the finish looks a bit rough. But I suspect that's mostly the light or something.
All in all everything looks fine and clean.
Forgot to ask - any comments? I'd appreciate any constructive criticism from any of you more experienced folks. I've learned just about everything on my own from trial and error (lots of errors) and hopefully learning from my mistakes! Thanks in advance!
I haven't been able to devote as much time as I'd like to finishing the batch of knives that I'm working on to send to heat treat. I did spend a small fortune on Cobalt bits and drilled out epoxy bridge holes/lightening holes recently and this past weekend I spent several hours putting thumb notches on most of these knives (after these pictures were taken). Thankfully my thumb notches are improving markedly but unfortunately everything that I seem to learn I learn from making mistakes first! Oh well, those lessons aren't soon forgotten...Someday I will actually put handles on these knives and then start making sheaths for them!

Mexico's anemic banking industry is back in shape and ready to grow, possibly at surprising rates. One bank in particular is especially well positioned: BBVA Bancomer.
Bankers, as BBVA Bancomer Chairman Hector Rangel wryly
remarks, are not popular anywhere. In Mexico, they have had to
tolerate years of abuse from politicians, the media and
ordinary Mexicans. Banks would not lend, service was poor,
interest rates were high and fees were outrageous. The bailout
of 1995, when the government indemnified banks for their losses
despite evidence that part of those losses were due to wrong
decisions and related-party lending, added insult to injury.
The bill for the bailout will reach about $100 billion.
Those years are far behind now. The Tequila Crisis happened
a decade ago, and the bankers involved have (nearly) all left
the scene. Foreigners took control of Mexico's big banks,
recapitalized them and overhauled their management. In 2001,
Spain's second-largest bank, BBVA, took over Bancomer, Mexico's
biggest bank, and turned it into a fearsomely efficient
machine - spewing profits and conquering market share.

Four Things a Brow Stylist Knows Best
There's an art to creating flattering eyebrows. Here are some of the guidelines a stylist follows to get brows looking full and natural.
1. The eyebrow shape should follow the natural brow line. Be it straight, curved, or arched, your original brow shape will be the one that works best with your facial structure and any accessories you came packaged with. Of course, that doesn't mean all hairs are where you want them. A brow stylist will often begin by getting rid of any hairs that fall below that line before they continue shaping.
2. Brows' starting and ending points are set in bone. The inner edge of your eyebrows should start where the outside of your nose meets the brow bone. Plucking too far in makes brows appear too short, a common at-home mistake that can take weeks to remedy. To get a preview of where your brows should end, place the tip of a pencil at the outside of your nostril and angle it so that it touches the outer corner of the eye. Where the pencil touches the brow bone is where the outer brow edge should stop.
3. Your brow artist will look you straight in the eye. That's in order to pinpoint the outer edge of your eye's iris. The highest part of the arch should hit right above it, and everything beyond that point begins to taper off.
4. Plucking isn't everything. After the shaping is done, it's time for a different kind of artistry. To create a full, smooth look that eliminates any suspicion that your brows got in a fight with each other, the stylist may go back in to sharpen or soften angles or fill in thinner areas with a brow pencil or powder.

Northern California gas prices up, except in San Mateo
- Steven E.F. Brown
Gas prices rose a nickel on average in Northern California over the last month, except in San Mateo and Santa Rosa, which saw their prices drop.
Prices in South Lake Tahoe (where they were already pretty high) also fell during the month between April 13 and May 11, according to AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah, which tracks such things.
Prices rose 3 cents to $3.23 per gallon in San Francisco, rose a nickel to $3.19 in Oakland, rose 7 cents to $3.23 in Pleasanton, rose 8 cents to $3.21 in San Rafael and rose 4 cents to $3.11 in Fremont.
But they fell 3 cents to $3.14 in San Mateo, fell 3 cents to $3.08 in Santa Rosa and fell 14 cents to $3.16 in South Lake Tahoe.
Around the nation, prices rose, too: up a nickel to $2.94 a gallon in Las Vegas, up 4 cents to $3.14 in Los Angeles and up a whopping 13 cents to $3.14 in New York.
Walnut Creek-based AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah didn't give specific reasons for the local drops in price. But it said prices normally move up as the summer driving season approaches.
Nationwide, the average price for a gallon of gas is $2.90, up 4 cents from a month ago. California's average price rose 4 cents to $3.15.
Prices haven't risen as rapidly as usual this spring, AAA said, because of the Greek credit crisis putting pressure on the euro and high unemployment in the United States.
Tracy has the cheapest gas in Northern California at $3.05 a gallon. Eureka's price of $3.29 is not only the highest in California, it's the highest in the lower 48 states. Wailuku, Hawaii, beats Eureka with an average price of $3.93 per gallon.
The lowest price in the United States is in Springfield, Mo., where it's $2.64 per gallon.

Day Five of my Wonderful Adventure in Japan
First we went up and up and up (it was a really long way up) in a lift to level 45 of Tokyo Municipal Government Observation tower. Here are some of the highlights of the view: Fuji-san (Mount Fuji to you and me), Tokyo Sky Tree, Tokyo Tower, a domed building which is a school, and even a mini version of the Empire State Building! Then we went to Shibuya crossing, it's the busiest crossing in the world! In ...

... the lots are moved to the buyers who themselves then move the fish to the next station.
We walk out of the building onto the whole fish market area. This is potentially a dangerous place as hundreds of trucks, carts, bicycles, bikes, and other vehicles drive through the various buildings.

In japan truck stops are a huge thing. they aren't just like a little park, they are massive food/restaurant shops that put most of our supper markets to shame. How ever this one became so popular it became a tourist spot/family activity. It is called Umihotaru (海ほたる), it means "sea firefly". It is an artificial island ...

If you have a question about this talk, please contact philosoc.
In 1809 William Smith collected some fossil bones from a quarry at Cuckfield (W. Sussex) while he was surveying and preparing the first ever geological map of Britain (1815). These bones lay unrecognised in the collections of the Geological Museum in London but much later could be demonstrated (by the speaker) to belong to Iguanodon, one of the three founding members of the Dinosauria.
The history of this animal proves to be fascinating and insightful because its discovery and subsequent study, by a variety of luminaries, charts the evolution of our ideas about how best to interpret such animals (given that there are no comparative living templates to work from). It also offers insights into the work of palaeobiologists who are trying to unravel, in an almost forensic manner, how such animals lived in a time, place and world that was so different to that of today; such work can also inform aspects of our understanding of the present day. Given the amount of time that has elapsed since its original discovery it is almost shocking to discover that much is still being revealed about Iguanodon (even its scientific name and what the animal – or animals are is a matter of some concern).

It is possible that you will only need a sensor such as TCC. How ever it sounds more like the clutches, or other internal problem. We would only be able to guess here without checking it out. I believe you are going to have to take it in for diag. and repair.
