Pumpkin Casserole
Last year during the holiday season I came across the sweet potato casserole which I really enjoyed. A sweet potato casserole is essentially mashed sweet potatoes baked with a pecan and brown sugar streusel topping. I find that pumpkin and sweet potatoes can often be interchanged in recipes and since I enjoy both I was thinking that a pumpkin casserole would also be great. Normally the sweet potato is sweetened with sugar but I decided to use maple syrup to add a bit of extra flavour. This casserole is pretty easy to make, you pretty much just mix the wet ingredients and place them in your casserole dish and sprinkle on the streusel topping and bake. The pumpkin casserole turned out to be just as good as the sweet potato casserole, which is to say that it was great! It was nice and warm and creamy and sweet and the pumpkin flavour worked perfectly. I am certainly looking forward to making this again.
4 cups pumpkin puree
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans (chopped)
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons butter (softened)
1. Mix the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, milk, egg, vanilla and salt and mash.
2. Mix the brown sugar, pecans, flour and butter.
3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into a baking dish (or dishes) and top with the pecan mixture.
4. Bake in a preheated 350F until golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.

The report finds that without Medicaid reform in Missouri, cost shifting to cover hospitals' provision of uncompensated care could increase to $3.5 billion annually by 2019. This dramatic growth could occur at the same time as hospitals experience $4.2 billion in federal cuts to hospital payments through the Affordable Care Act, Budget Control Act of 2011 and American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Without the offsetting revenue from additional health insurance coverage through Medicaid reform, these cuts could lead to unprecedented growth in the "hidden health care tax" on business and individual commercial insurance premiums.

On the evening of July 2, 1949, the finalization of the IMPBA was presented to the then model boat representatives. Some of the organizers were: Barney Kiewicz, Ed Kalfus, F. Schneider, and a Mr. Sparr. The first draft of the IMPBA Constitution, By-Laws, and Racing Rules were presented. These original documents are now the property of IMPBA, and the boaters were strictly "tether" boaters. Tether racing was against-the-clock racing. There was a center pole in the pond and a 52'6" aircraft cable. Four laps on this circular course was a 1/4 mile, and the boats were timed for four laps and the top speed in each class was the winner.
The first president of IMPBA was Barney Kiewicz of Detroit, Michigan; thus the IMPBA was formed. The IMPBA presidents throughout the organization's history are:
Boating in the early formation days of IMPBA was that of tether boating racing. Tether boating was against the clock, and the procedure was as follows: The course was a 105' diameter circle with a center pole at a maximum of 36" above the water line. The center pole had a free turning pivot at the top and a wire cable running line which measured 52'6" including the boat running bridle. The running bridle had to withstand a 250 pound pull test before it was permitted for use in competition. Once the boat was fired up and ready to run, it was hand launched with a person manning the center pole to hold the running line above water level until the boat was up to speed so the running line would not drag in the water. The boat owner waited until he thought the boat was running at top speed, then he would call for time. The boat had to make four laps in order to be timed. Four laps of the 52'6" radius circle equaled 1/4 mile.
Some of the big names in boating at that time were Ed Kalfus, Joe Horvath (the only two tether boaters to exceed 100 mph), Roger Mathews, Bob Graham, Pete Yauczer, Bob Palmer, Bill Baughman, Max Beiderman, Charles Watkins, and Tom Perzentka.

Progress seen in last-minute 'fiscal cliff' talks
Monday, December 31, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) — Working against a midnight deadline, negotiators for the White House and congressional Republicans narrowed their differences Monday on legislation to avert across-the-board tax increases.
Though the tax hikes and budget cuts would be felt gradually, economists warn that if allowed to fully take hold, their combined impact — the so-called fiscal cliff — would rekindle a recession.
"This whole thing is a national embarrassment," Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said Monday on MSNBC, adding that any solution Congress would swallow at this late stage would be inconsequential. "We still haven't moved any closer to solving our nation's problems."
In a move that was sure to irritate Republicans, Reid was planning — absent a deal — to force a Senate vote Monday on Obama's campaign-season proposal to continue expiring tax cuts for all but those with income exceeding $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.
In one sign of movement on Sunday, Republicans dropped a demand to slow the growth of Social Security and other benefits by changing how those payments are increased each year to allow for inflation.
Obama had offered to include that change, despite opposition by many Democrats, as part of earlier, failed bargaining with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, over a larger deficit reduction agreement. But Democrats said they would never include the new inflation formula in the smaller deal now being sought to forestall wide-ranging tax boosts and budget cuts, and Republicans relented.
"It's just acknowledging the reality," Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said of the GOP decision to drop the idea.
There was still no final agreement on the income level above which decade-old income tax cuts would be allowed to expire. While Obama has long insisted on letting the top 35 percent tax rate rise to 39.6 percent on earnings over $250,000, he'd agreed to boost that level to $400,000 in his talks with Boehner. GOP senators said they wanted the figure hoisted to at least that level.
Senators said disagreements remained over taxing large inherited estates. Republicans want the tax left at its current 35 percent, with the first $5.1 million excluded, while Democrats want the rate increased to 45 percent with a smaller exclusion.
The two sides were also apart on how to keep the alternative minimum tax from raising the tax bills of nearly 30 million middle-income families and how to extend tax breaks for research by business and other activities.
Republicans were insisting that budget cuts be found to pay for some of the spending proposals Democrats were pushing.
These included proposals to erase scheduled defense and domestic cuts exceeding $200 billion over the next two years and to extend unemployment benefits. Republicans complained that in effect, Democrats would pay for that spending with the tax boosts on the wealthy.
"We can't use tax increases on anyone to pay for more spending," said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.
Both parties also want to block an immediate 27 percent cut in reimbursements to doctors who treat Medicare patients. Republicans wanted to find savings from Obama's health care bill as well as from Medicare providers, while Democrats want to protect the health care law from cuts.

I have a startling admission to make: Mad Men is no longer my favorite show on Sunday nights. Now, when I sit around in the sunshine on Sunday afternoon, I'm wondering what the hell is going to happen that night on Game of Thrones not with Don Draper and his clan of merry misfits. It's because Season 6 of Mad Men has been wildly disappointing. There are no surprises, no excitement, and no overaching structure to connect one episode to the next.
Look at last night, most of the really memorable things were nothing but distractions from the main theme. Peggy's Realtor served no real purpose but to get Peggy to realize she doesn't want to move to the Upper East Side. Ginsberg's date really doesn't go anywhere interesting. Don calls looking for Dr. Rosen instead of Sylvia, who he's having an affair with, hammering home the point that he'd rather be with Arnie than his wife (something we established three episodes ago). Harry Hamlin is there for no good reason.
Speaking of which, William Mapother, who played Ethan on Lost was there for no reason either. Well, he was playing an insurance guy and Roger's old drug buddy, Randall, (Roger says, "He talked me off a ledge once" and I can only assume from Randy's behavior that the two shared some LSD together) who had a crazy idea for an ad campaign with a Molotov cocktail. He was quirky in a way that a Boston Legal character is, just for the sake of being odd. Back in the day we had people like Miss Blankenship, whose quirks commented on the existential crises of those around her. This guy is just a pastiche of tics and jargon with a silly idea no one takes seriously. He's also an excuse for a silly joke when Roger says, "Make sure this guy doesn't get lost," an obvious reference to his past show. Between that, the joke about the Second Avenue subway being finished (New Yorkers know that it still isn't), and last week's gratuitous 30 Rock reference, the show seems content being amused at itself rather than working toward some sort of revelation or universal truth. Sure, that still makes it a decent show, but it's not the layers deep drama that I used to enjoy.
There were actually two themes last night, that of fathers and sons and the political turning personal, both brought out by the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. The assassination was reported at an advertising awards dinner (Megan won!). This shadowed both the award ceremony at the beginning of Season 4 and Roger's daughter's wedding in Season 3 that went on even in the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination. It felt like well-worn territory, that we had seen the pettiness of daily events in the light of historical tragedy before, so this was nothing new. Also the firm's bad seats and the fact that their only nominations were for work Megan and Peggy did and both are no longer at the firm only points to Don Draper and his decline, something that we have seen repeatedly since last season.
But enough bitching. In the wake of MLK's death, Don has his children for the weekend and he has a chance to be a spectacularly bad father once again. First he forgets to pick the kids up and then drives them through a riot to get to his house. Finally, when Megan is going to take the kids to a vigil in Central Park, Bobby feigns a stomach ache. He's not supposed to watch TV because he's being punished so Don gets around his sentence and takes him to the movies. After a matinee of Planet of the Apes, where Bobby is bowled over by the cruelty that men are able to inflict on each other and their world, he has a touching moment with a black usher, letting him know, in his own little 10-year-old way (he's supposed to be 10, right?) that "everyone goes to the movies when they're sad" and that he is sad about King's death.
Don can't do anything. He seems to have an inability to connect with his children and he wants to help Bobby, but all he can do is help him get his Milk Duds open. Don can't deal with Bobby's feelings and what appears to be like some sort of anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsion, or borderline personality behavior (as evidenced by his ripping down the imperfect wallpaper). When Megan comes home, Don is once again the sad drunk (because we haven't seen enough of that) and he tells her that he never really loved his kids, he was just acting, but when they did something good like that, his heart wants to explode that he's so happy. And still, because of his own loveless childhood, he can't find a way to express it. Boo-freaking-hoo.
When Don sees Bobby awake in the middle of the night (probably picking at scabs or something) he gets into bed with him and tries to make it better. Don is literally on his level and asks Bobby what is wrong, the first step to making some sort of emotional connection. When Bobby says he's worried that Henry is going to get shot like MLK, Don responds glibly (and hilariously) that Henry is not important enough. A kid doesn't understand that, and Don takes an opportunity and totally blows it, offering no greater solace. Instead he goes outside and listens to the sirens and the disorder raging below. The night is dark and full of terrors. (Sorry, had to get my favorite GoT in there somewhere.) But Don is in the same position Bobby is and is in at the end of the episode.
Just like MLK had a dream that his son would live in a better world, so does Don, but the world he is giving over to his son is awful and scary. He's handing him a future where the apes take over and the Statue of Liberty lies in ruins on the beach. He can't really do anything to change that, but he can try to make Bobby feel better about it and give him some insight no adult ever gave him. But he can't. Instead he just stands there, anxious and inactive, pondering all the darkness that lurks around the twinkling of the city lights.
While it seemed like Ginsberg's date was going to be about him meeting a nice Jewish girl and maybe, finally, losing his virginity, it was not. It was about him and his father. His immigrant father set up him on a date and Ginsberg even admits that it feels very old world. That seems to be the dynamic between them, which was hinted at before, but it seemed initially like Ginsberg's father was somehow mentally deficient or senile. He's not, he's just embarrassing to Ginsberg because he has not been able to assimiliate into American culture. The disconnect between the old and new society that this show is steeped in is especially powerful here, because there is an even larger gap between Ginsberg the older's culture and Ginsberg the younger's.
There is no progress or movement in their relationship though. It's just stagnant. Ginsberg says that he doesn't want his father meddling and he can meet his own girls, but that is obviously not the case or else, well, a handsome young man such as himself wouldn't still be a virgin. His father wants Ginsberg to have a better life than him and he seems to be working for it, but the two of them have different definitions of what is important. Ginsbert the son wants to focus on his work and Ginsberg the father wants him to focus on the family. But maybe the old way is the right way? All of this is "tale as old as time" stuff and we didn't get an interesting spin on it in the episode. Sure there was some excellent banter between Ginsberg and his date but, like so much else in this episode, it was just a distraction from a plot that didn't have much of a point.
Pete Campbell was also dealing with his own father issues and took the death of MLK very hard. This had more to do with Pete's situation than his love of civil rights however. We learn this when he has the hilarious fight with Harry Crane, who is more upset about work than the death, and Pete has an irrationally outrageous reaction. He ends the fight by telling Harry, "Let me put this in terms you can understand, the man had a wife and four kids."
Pete is really missing the loss of his wife and daughter and, in this time of uncertainty, he wants the love and comfort they bring him. When everything was normal and boring in the suburbs he wanted out, but now that the novelty of the single life has worn off and the only person he has to talk to is the silent Chinese delivery man, he wants back into the fold. Again, this is a story we've seen again and again on this show. Pete is just Don Draper from two seasons ago. This isn't interesting or revelatory. What was interesting was Pete's fight with Harry and Pete actually not being a jerk about the news. When King was shot, I figured Pete would be the one who would care more about work than his feelings, but he wasn't. Of course he only cares so much because of his personal situation, but whatever it takes for Pete to do the right thing. And thanks for being the only surprise.
The women got short shrift this week, especially our lovely Peggy. She starts out wanting to buy a house on the Upper East Side just blocks away from Don Draper, continuing her transformation into the man himself. There is all this drama with her Realtor who is trying to take advantage of the unrest to get Peggy a good deal on her apartment and she ends up losing it. Aw, sad Peggy.
But sad Peggy quickly turns into happy Peggy. Her boyfriend Abe, who is working hard on a story about the riots in Harlem, tells her that he doesn't want to live there, he wants to raise their children somewhere where there is more diversity. Peggy doesn't say anything, but she seems to agree and sits on the couch smiling, happy that her man is envisioning their future and excited about the possibility of going out and doing her own thing. That's the thing about Peggy, she always seems to need a little push. I'm glad that she and Abe are still together. When her boss Ted was giving him dirty looks at the ad dinner I thought for sure she was going to leave him behind in some West Village flat while she moved on up to the east side with the Jeffersons.
Like Pete Campbell, Betty Draper had a bit of redemption last night. She called up and harassed Don in classic Betty harpy mode, but he deserved it. He forgot his kids and didn't even call, no wonder she's laying on the guilt extra thick. I like my Betty like I like a hamburger, fat and juicy, but I felt bad for her after Henry's big announcement that he was going to run for State Senate. "I can't wait for everyone to meet the real you," he tells her, but she doesn't want anyone to meet her. This is what she always wanted, a powerful, rich husband who will raise her profile, but now that it's happening, her beauty is gone. It's too late. "This is what I always wanted for you, what I always wanted for us," she says, but it's what she's always wanted for her.
Later she stands in the mirror and holds up a dress she can't fit into anymore. She plays with her hair that is frizzy from dying it so dark. She's tried so hard to be her real self and she just can't. It's going to be back to "reducing" and pouring herself into those tiny chic outfits once again, polishing the glossy shell of her exterior so her man will have something nice to show off.
It's the little details like Betty pulling at her hair in the mirror that make this show, and there were some great details. We had Peggy showing genuine compassion when hugging her secretary and Joan showing icy concern about Dawn, which came off as nothing but tokenism. We had Dawn saying to Don, "Getting here, well, took some time," with a perfect line reading that gave us so much insight into her life and the character. There was Megan, freaking out slightly at Don and Sylvia giving Don the once over with her eyes that said just about everything. That is what keeps me watching Mad Men and will continue to keep it good. Now let's just work on getting everything else back in order to make it great.

A niche product that delivers on what it promises, but the price may put some folks off.
The ARC 100 is an affordable SSD that offers good performance, and a price tag that competes with some of the most affordable flash storage devices around.
Another 2TB portable wireless drive hits the market but is it competitive?
Samsung's affordable SSD range goes 3D, with performance and endurance boosts all around. The new budget SSD king?
Samsung's latest enterprise drive emphasises read performance and exceptional longevity, but it's expensive.
The Extreme Pro is SanDisk's answer to Samsung's high-performance SATA SSDs.
The 6TB version of Western Digital's Red hard disk is nicely priced, and bound to be popular as a result.
Crucial's MX100 is a 512GB drive that undercuts the SSD competition considerably.

I have decidedly mixed feelings about men in feminist spaces in part because they tend to dominate the conversation and everything gets steered to their needs. I think we're conditioned as a population to value them more than women value each other. They tend to argue things like the need to make decisions about whether they can be called feminists—frankly I don't care, but feminism isn't primarily about dudes. The fact that we've had to have a conversation about whether they call themselves feminists repeatedly is annoying. Social movements aren't about allies.
Or we have to talk about their sexuality. Their body image issues. Their stuff. Them. Them. Them. It's like we've grown up in a society where their needs predominate and there can be no space where they aren't the most important people there. They get to be the authority in every conversation. Their feelings are always considered above all others. Blah blah blah, fucking blah.
And I know when we've had these convos, then there are pictures threads where everyone can coo about how cool the guys are.
Thoughts, ladies?

Threads Across the Ocean
The Greater Journey
Appearing on nearly every list of the best books of 2011 is David McCullough's The Greater Journey.
We think of the story of America as the story of a westward journey, but McCullough has gathered an impressive array of Americans who travelled eastward to conquer their frontiers. Between 1830 and 1900, a constant stream of talented American painters, sculptors, physicians, musicians, lawyers, and writers braved the seas to complete their education in Paris, the City of Light, and expand their cultural horizons. For many, the exposure to the fine arts, old-world architecture, fashion, fine dining, museums and teaching hospitals proved transformative and had a corresponding impact on American life and thought.
Among the adventurers who flocked to Paris were Oliver Wendell Holmes (physician and father of the Supreme Court Justice), James Fenimore Cooper, Samuel F. B. Morse, George P. A. Healy, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathanial Hawthorne, Mark Twain, Henry James, John Singer Sargent, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. After an eye-opening experience with fellow black students in Paris, Charles Sumner became the U. S. Senate's foremost voice against slavery.
A few women were courageous enough to strike out for Paris, including Elizabeth Blackwell, America's first female physician, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Mary Cassatt, famed for her portraits of mothers and daughters.
Gifted storyteller that he is, McCullough draws us in to the lives of each of these talented Americans and shows us not only how they travelled to Paris, but also how they mastered their crafts and, in most cases, brought back to America a renewed energy for production, teaching, and sharing with others. Their greater journey was one of artistic and intellectual development that benefited America and the world.
McCullough tells story after story of Americans in Paris against a colorful and dramatic backdrop of French history from the revolution of 1848 to the Paris Exposition of 1889. Perhaps the most moving section is the account of Elihu Washburne, the only diplomat brave enough to remain in Paris through the bloody 1870s, the time of the Paris Commune, more terrible than the French Revolution. Washburne sheltered and fed many starving people, and found safe passage out of the city for Americans and others who could escape.
A Thread Across the Ocean
Samuel F. B. Morse was a painter of renown long before he became interested in telegraphy and developed the system of dots and dashes for which he is remembered today. McCullough's account of his painting "The Gallery of the Louvre" is most unusual—he was allowed to set up scaffolding for months so he could copy museum paintings for his own painting. Morse also appears in John Steele Gordon's A Thread Across the Ocean, about the laying of the transatlantic cable in the mid-19th century. Morse was, however, only one of many who promoted this enterprise to hasten the transmission of news between Europe and America.
In this age of instant communication, it is hard to imagine that news travelled only as fast as a sailing ship. Faster transmission would enhance business, finance, and political response to world events. Cyrus Field, a New York businessman, took on the role of promoter and organizer of a truly heroic engineering feat, probably the most significant of the 19th century. Field told one prospective investor, a beagle breeder, to imagine a huge dog stretching from England to the U.S. The venture was "just such a dog. If you pinch his tail in Liverpool, he'll bark in New York." Gordon captivates with his portrayal of the five attempts over twelve years spanning the Civil War, involving the best scientific minds and millions of dollars from both sides of the Atlantic, to lay the cable between Ireland and Newfoundland.
Devil in the White City
The Paris Exposition of 1889 and the daring Eiffel Tower, described in The Greater Journey, captured the world's imagination and admiration like nothing else had, and inspired American architects and engineers to their best efforts to "out-Eiffel the Eiffel". Chicago won the bid to host the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, as a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Columbus' voyage to America, and the push was on to show the world what American ingenuity could finally do.
Devil in the White City is Erik Larson's exciting story of the Chicago World's Fair and how it came together, in spite of incredible odds that it would fail, thanks in large measure to the untiring work of architect Daniel Burnham. And, as if the creation of the Fair were not enough, interwoven in its tale is the story of a psychopath operating on the edge of the Fair and of the many victims who came under his spell. This mix of magic and true crime will keep you on the edge of your seat.
When you have finished this book, check out the entry for the Fair at wikipedia.org and see the photographs in the article and several of the online references cited at the end. Do you recognize the likely source of Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom in these lovely images?

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) may function erratically or illuminate the warning light due a damaged wheel speed sensor. A wheel bearing and/or CV joint with excessive runout can cause the ABS trigger rings to rub against the ABS sensors and damage them.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Newest reported Geo Prizm problems
P0770/P0773 fault code at higher mileage due to failed 3-way lock-up solenoid
A transmission fault code of P0770 or P0773 may occur at higher mileages which indicates that the 3-way lock-up solenoid has failed and will need replacement.
ABS Light Due to Wheel Bearings and/or CV Joints With Excessive Runout
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) may function erratically or illuminate the warning light due a damaged wheel speed sensor. A wheel bearing and/or CV joint with excessive runout can cause the ABS trigger rings to rub against the ABS sensors and damage them.
Inspect transmission/fluid every 30,000 miles
You may be able to prevent automatic transmission problems by servicing the transmission and inspecting the fluid every 30,000 miles. If the fluid is dark or burned, the transmission system should be completely flushed.
Check Engine Light Due to Restricted EGR System
The EGR System tends to get restricted or blocked with carbon after 100,000- 125,000 miles which will cause an emissions test failure for NOX. If the EGR system is equipped with an EGR temperature sensor it will trigger a Check Engine Light for improper EGR flow. The repair is to clean out the EGR passages and the EGR Temperature sensor. Our technicians tell this repair is pretty straight forward and takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is also wise to verify the EGR system components i.e. the Transducer, EGR Valve and VSV Solenoid at this time.
Sound When Driving Over Bumps May be Struts/Bearing Plates
If the vehicle develops an annoying, clunking sound when driving over bumps it is usually the struts and strut bearing plates. These may need replacing at 100,000-125,000 miles or sooner. If the noise is a more of a squeak or groan, it can be usually be eliminated by spraying a light lubricant on the suspension bushings 1-2 times per year.
Check Engine Light on Due to EVAP Vapor Canister Fault
The Evaporative system may have problems with the vapor canister releasing charcoal pellets that plug the vent valve. Typically a Code P0441, P0442 and P0446 will be set. The key code is the P0446 which is a vent valve electrical failure. The proper repair is to replace the entire canister with all the valves as a unit. This is located on top of the fuel tank and is expensive. Our Technicians tell us that for awhile Toyota was covering these problems, but this may have changed. It would not hurt to call the dealer if this problem occurs to see if Toyota is still helping with these repairs.
Engine Mount on Passenger Side Can Wear With High Mileage
The engine mount on the passenger side of the car can wear out on cars with high mileage. This will put extra stress on the other mounts and the faulty mount will need to be replaced.
Engine Won't Crank Due To Starter
If the engine will not crank over, the most common problem is the starter. These will tend to go out at about 100,00-125,000 miles. Sometimes it is only the starter solenoid, but often the complete starter (including solenoid) needs to be replaced.
Worn Shift Bushings Will Cause Manual Transmission to Pop Out of Gear
On vehicles with a manual transmission, worn shift bushings can cause the transmission to pop out of gear, especially when coasting down in 1st or 2nd gear. Replacing all the shift linkage bushings is pretty straight forward and not expensive and will commonly correct this concern.
Loss of Power at Freeway Speeds
A loss of power on the freeway may due to an internally leaking fuel pulsation dampener. This commonly occurs on higher mileage vehicles.
ABS Warning Light Due to Failed Wheel Speed Sensor
At higher mileages, an anti-lock brake system wheel speed sensor may wear out and illuminate the ABS warning light. It is recommended to replace the sensor with a factory part and be sure to clean all rust and debris from the mounting area because the mounting distance is critical. Failure to do so may result in the new sensor setting false trouble codes.
AC Not Cold Due to Failed Compressor
Typically the AC compressor is worn out by about 150,000 miles in warm and/or humid climates. It is recommended to replace the complete compressor including a new clutch and rpm sensor, and to replace the receiver/dryer as well.
Service AC system at 150,000 miles or every two to three years
Usually by 150,000 miles the AC system will need some attention, especially in climates where it is used often. Our technicians tell us that it is best to service the AC system every 2-3 years. This keeps the moisture in the system at a minimum which extends the life of the components.
AC blowing Warm Air
The AC Expansion Valve may develop a very slow leak or allow too much refrigerant flow which reduces cooling. Our technicians tell us that Toyota makes an updated expansion valve to resolve these problems if and when they occur.

Drift City
Drift City Overview
Drift City has got to be one of the most original games I've ever played. Part racer and part RPG, Drift City is the only game that can be truly labeled a racing MMORPG. Besides a lobby based racing game, Drift City offers a huge persistent game world complete with 4 cities, each with unique missions, side quests and geography. Drift City even has a back story — a new valuable fuel source called mitron was discovered on an island in the Pacific. The island was named after the substance and quickly developed but mysterious unmanned cars began to appear and harass the inhabitants. Dubbed HUVs (High-Tech Unmanned Vehicles), they posed a threat to the island forcing all pedestrians off the roads. Expert drivers from around the world (such as yourself) were called in to deal with the HUV menace.
Moon Palace - This is where new players start their adventure. Moon Palace is a seaside metropolis with a wide open road system. The east of the city houses a portion of the island's industrial district where Mittron is refined. There is an airport on the west side of this city that is shared with Oros.
Koinonia - Mittron Island's industrial and commercial center, which also features a seaport.
Cras - A hilly city that is also home to the facilities where Mittron is mined. The city has a tunnel that leads players directly back to Moon Palace without having to pass through Oros or Koinonia.
Oros - A desert city that is a hot spot for Mittron development. Its main facilities are a space center and a secret military installation named "Area 71″ based on Area 51 in America. Released in November 21, 2008.

Drift City Review
By Erhan Altay
Drift City may look like just another racing game but don't be fooled, it's much more than that. Drift City has something no other racer does, a persistent world for players to drive around in. The graphics give the game a stylish cartoony feel, almost like a brighter version of Grand Theft Auto. The basic appearance of the cities and even the mini map in the corner of the screen look very much like GTA III. So if you're looking for a multiplayer racer with a ton of sandbox single player content, this is the game for you.
Welcome To Mittron Island
Originally published by ijji, Drift City is now published in America by GamesCampus. Once launched, players will notice that there is a single server but it has separate channels, each controlled by different crews (clans.) New players are greeted by a short intro movie explaining the game's backstory. Yes that's right, this racing game has a back story! Here's the gist of it; a powerful new fuel source called mitron was discovered on an island in the North Pacific which prompted heavy development of said island. Mittron City soon prospered but mysterious cars soon began terrorizing the streets. Labeled HUVs, these cars made pedestrian life impossible on the island and the government was forced to call in all willing drivers to help combat the HUV threat.
Pick Your Ride
New players have nine cars and four colors to chose from. Each car has a different distribution of four stats; Speed, Acceleration, Durability, and Booster. Leveling up doesn't give you additional points to allocate but car parts can be purchased and equipped to increase your current car's attributes. Don't worry too much about stats early on, just pick the car which looks the best to you and start driving. There is no tutorial per say but players start out with a mission to complete. Luckily, a green arrow and a line on the minimap guide players along throughout the game, making things much easier. Drift City can be controlled completely with the keyboard, movement is done with W,A,S, and D, boost with 'ctrl.' Even the interface is easily accessible through the function keys (F1-F8), tab and space bar are used to accept and scroll through mission text.
Now You're a Delivery Boy
After the first mission, players are lead to the first station of the first city. Each of the four cities has several stations which act as hubs for missions and gateways to the battledome where players shop and race one another. Players are free to simply drive around the city, drive over ramps, and accept the random side quests such as timed delivery missions, police patrol missions, and HUV hunting missions but the most fun and fastest way to level up is by completing the linear main missions. These involve very little thinking and most of the text can be skipped thanks to the friendly green path and arrow that lead you from one objective to the next. There is quite a bit of variation in the types of missions you'll be called to do — simple 'go here and come back' missions are, sadly, the most common but many involve delivering goods with a truck, stealthily stalking a mob boss, hunting (by crashing into) HUVs, and many others. Most missions are timed but the time limit is more than ample during throughout the first city. Time limits and crash limits become more restrictive later which actually helps keep the game from being too easy.
The Battledome
After the first 10 or so missions players will have access to the battledome where they can race against other players. This part of the game is very similar to other racing games like Trackmania. There is a lobby from which players can if they want to race in a solo or team match. Up to 16 players can participate in a race and the races are broken into channels based on engine size. This keeps high level cars with V9 engines in separate rooms from smaller cars. High level players can still chose to drive lighter vehicles and race with lower level players though. Racing in Drift City is nowhere as realistic as in Project Torque. There are no 'items' per say but special gates located around the maps give players random boosts which adds a large element of luck to the game. Driving skill is still the most important aspect, unlike UpShift StrikeRacer there are no offensive items like missiles or guns. Players gain experience and mito (the currency) based on their performance in races so it is possible to play Drift City for months without playing through any of the single player content.
A Third Way
Most people will probably spend their time switching between the multiplayer and single player aspects of Drift City. This is the most productive way to spend your time since missions are much better for earning mito and many side missions give you additional rewards for completing races. This mix between solo RPG style gameplay and standard multiplayer racing isn't for everyone, if you're just looking to jump in and start racing, Drift City isn't the game for you. But I personally enjoyed Drift City's gameplay more than any other racing MMO. Knowing there was a persistent world out there where I could go and spend a few hours gave me a purpose to stick with the game. I felt more of a connection with my character in Drift City than I did in most fantasy MMORPGs.
Shops and Coupons
New cars are purchased at the Dealership but have different level requirements, many also have coupon requirements. Coupons can best be described as achievements; they are earned by reaching milestones such as jumping off a total of 100 ramps or completing 50 races. Some of these coupons are easy to acquire but others such as the 1,000,000 combo coupon will take ages. Cart parts are earned by completing quests, destroying HUVs and randomly during races. Special items such as paints, decals, stickers, bumpers, wings, and boosters are available for either mito or real money. Some have complained that premium items unbalance the game but I found them reasonable, sure there are potions that increase experience rates and boost speeds but nothing was over the top.
Final Verdict: Great
Drift City is a remarkable game, the only racing game to date with a persistent world. Hundreds of hours of single player content are available on top of the enjoyable lobby based multiplayer racing. Almost all of the missions are optional which makes Drift City ideal for both the casual and dedicated gamer.

new to this and not sure what to do...
We had four fish in our tank, then - after a few months - added two more. One by one they all died off (except a snail, he survived). So, my husband went out and bought several new fish. He cleaned the tank thoroughly, then added the new fish. We've only had them for about two weeks, and almost all of them have died. I started noticing little white spots on the fish just a day or two before they die and they swim around a bit funny, almost like they're drunk. They swim sideways or just float to the bottom before swimming straight up again. We had Stress Coat, which we had added when we got the new fish, but someone told us that he believed the Stress Coat actually made matters worse. We don't really know much about caring for fish, but would like to figure this out. Any suggestions for 'fixing' the environment??

Do you have a good liquid test kit to test the water with? The white spots sound like ich that can be treated with heat and table salt.Bob

Logan punches ticket to state tourney
By CONOR NICHOLL
NATOMA – Logan High School senior setter Michaela Girard served with the Trojans down 20-17 in the third set against rival Almena-Northern Valley in Saturday's Class 1A Division II sub-state championship game.
Girard, who had played club volleyball throughout volleyball-crazy Nebraska the last couple of years, felt no nerves.
"I have had matches like that before," she said. "It doesn't bug me."
Girard uncorked her vicious jump serve with plenty of topspin, an attack that had given teams fits throughout the day. Girard served five straight points, including an ace. The run helped Logan earn a 25-20, 22-25, 25-22 victory and advance to this week's Class 1A
Division II state tournament at Gross Memorial Coliseum in Hays.
"She played really well today and that serve, when it's on, it's wicked," Logan coach Robin Van Laeys said.
Logan, the No. 2 seed, moved to 24-12 with a pair of three-set victories against Natoma, 25-14, 23-25, 25-23, and the top-seeded Huskies.
"Our serve-receive hurt us," Husky first-year coach Kirsten Baird said. "We shouldn't have lost four or five points there at the end of the game. That was the game right there. We've just got to play confident. We want to play to win."
The Trojans had lost to Northern Valley (28-9) twice in the last two weeks, each by three sets.
"We've just to got to stay focused," Baird said. "It's just disappointing. I think we are the better team. We have got better athletes. We really do."
After sophomore Christen Greving's kill clinched the state berth, Van Laeys let out a deep breath.
A few minutes later, she said in the team celebration, "I am exhausted."
"Nobody ever lost their cool," Van Laeys said. "It could have gone either way. I am tired. I know the kids were exhausted. The emotions of it, and the physicality of the game."
Northern Valley enjoyed a big turnaround under Baird, who coached the current high school group in traveling volleyball in fifth and sixth grade. She has coached junior high the last 21 years and is doing both levels this fall.
The Huskies had trouble with numbers in volleyball and girls' basketball the last several seasons. Last fall, the Huskies went 12-17, didn't make pool play in league tournament and lost in the first round of sub-state. Now, the numbers are back up.
"I am hoping it's a little bit more positive, and the girls want to be included," Baird said. "We have great participation now. I think it's just a different atmosphere."
The Huskies graduate just one senior, setter Brooke Hammond, a move-in from Logan. Van Laeys started crying when she discussed Hammond playing for Northern Valley.
"We miss her," Van Laeys said. "That's been very hard on us. There was a little bit with that involved. We wanted to win knowing we were without her."
Against Natoma, Logan won the first set behind 3-0 and 7-0 runs on Girard's serve. She collected four aces in the set. After the Tigers won the second set, Girard served a 4-0 run with two aces for a 10-5 third set lead. Then, Natoma won eight straight points.
Logan came back to tie the match at 15 and led 23-20 before it hung on.
Natoma enjoyed a strong first season under coach Chris Broeckelman. With just two players above 5-foot-8, the Tigers went 21-13, but 0-3 against Logan with all third set losses.
"As much as we want to say that we may not have been looking past Natoma, we were," Van Laeys said. "We wanted this match up against the green (Huskies), and so I think that was some of it. But that's where our eyes were really. We were ready."
With sophomore Makayla Hilburn serving, Logan reeled off a 9-0 run to start the final and never trailed in the first set. The Trojans led 17-12 in the second set before the Huskies battled back for the tie.
The third set featured 11 ties, including 15 all before Northern Valley went on a 5-1 run. A kill by junior Kodi Van Laeys gave Girard the serve.
Girard started her jump serve, rarely seen at the high level, her freshman year. She served on and off in matches. Finally, Coach Van Laeys told Girard this season to choose either the jump serve or the traditional serve from ground level.
Girard chose the jump serve for situations, including pressure moments. Girard's philosophy was simple: "I just get really mad, and then I just serve it."
After a Northern Valley attack error, Girard served an ace to cut the deficit to 20-19.
"It's hard to read," Baird said. "Sometimes, it has a little curve to it. … We have had servers like that before."
Another Husky error tied the match. Then, a Van Laeys kill gave Logan the lead from a free ball off a big Girard serve.
"We want to swing hard," Baird said. "At the end, when it's crunch time, you can't keep tipping it."
A long point led to a Husky error and a 22-20 lead. Northern Valley tied the match, but three straight kills, the last two from Greving, gave Logan the victory.
"We knew it was our turn to go get them this time," Greving said.

I have uploaded steam for linux here:

I found this bit interesting from the steam binary:

I have uploaded steam for linux here:
I have sorted the directories. Just run steam.sh
Trust Linux users to dissect an unreleased binary.
Valve is probably thinking to maintain their stranglehold on digital distribution. It doesn't mean they will release Linux versions of their games right away but it does mean that 3rd parties will be able to use Steam to deliver (commercial) software on all relevant desktop platforms.
I believe (and hope) that Valve will actually port their games over once Steam/Linux reaches some critical install base.
I wonder if there could be some kind of official steam livecd one day to make a kind of pc-based games console. Live CDs are very good at booting anywhere these days, valve could probably get nvidia/ati's blessing to bundle the binary drivers and then they could build some kind of horrible DRM mess on a strippped down linux to try and stop game hacks.....
I don't like this jumping to conclusions too fast. Remember where that got us with Unreal Tournament 3?
Maybe Valve is just keeping the option open until Linux has a decent graphics and audio stack (maybe two years from now)?
Also, Steam coming to Linux isn't a big deal at all. You would be stuck with the same games we now have for Linux. It would be different if they would port their source engine games.
Let's just hope ML's sources are right. Not sure I want to wait til June, but it's waay better than never.
Regardless, the fact that these files are there shores things up well enough.
They're working on it, at least.

Thank you!
I am back on. I am still waiting for new LTS.
Thank you!
I am back on. I am still waiting for new LTS.
Hello again,
When I was online last night, my wifi signal was lost and I couldn't get it back. It doesn't even show on the desktop. I called the service provider and everything is ok on their part. The lights on the modem are all green. so I suppose there isn't any problems there. Now I'm on ethernet. I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I keep on updating it, and maybe something isn't compatible. The wifi radar can't locate the signal...even though the modem is in the same room. I am patiently waiting for the new LTS, and am hoping these bugs will be solved. But in the meantime, is there something that I can do? Again, thanks in advance for any help.
Or maybe I can install 14.04 now, is it stable?
Hi again,
For the record the problem is solved. After changing frequency on wifi, there was no interference. Then the connection was reestablished... but there was a problem with the service provider and I was without any access what so ever. So I called then and they checked and fixed the problem from their side. Now all is well.
All in all, it was a real learning experience.
The response from launchpad was fast and immediate. Something that is rare these days.
Also, from service provider...
Hello again,
As an educator, I have always believed that knowledge is not a commodity that should be bought and sold(usually at high cost), but rather something that should be shared equally so that all may benifit.
That is what got me into open source and Linux. In that same spirit, I pass on the link to
my attempts to find a solution to my problem, with the help and support of the wonderful people in Launchpad. That way, everyone can follow and learn along with me. ( The brain is a muscle, and like all muscles must be exercised... or else it becomes weak and lazy.)
Fortunately, open source and Linux... allows me to exercise mine.
Thanks for reminding me.
I reported the problem on Launchpad.
Hello again,
So far tried removing everything except the wifi client, nothing there.
Then just removed and reinstalled wifi client, nothing.
Finally reinstalled whole OS, nothing.
Even tried creating new account, changing frequencies, running a diagnostic test of modem.
As far as trying usb again... everytime it says that there is not enough space. Even though it is empty. Maybe, I'll just buy a larger one, they're cheap enough.(Mine is old)
It could just be too much interference... it has happened before. But it solved itself,after a while. I'm in Greece.... we have this problem with infrastructure. The government hasn't done much to improve ISP service, which results in wired and wireless problems.. since practically everybody has some wireless device... they're quite affordable.
That however is an economic/ political problem.
Thanks anyways for all the help. Will let you know if I do find a solution. For now, will use ethernet... like my son suggests anyways.
Hi Izzy,
Thanks for replying. As far as I know, Ubuntu worked fine on Unity from the beginning.
The modem that I am using is a wireless adsl2+ T&W matr-X 4ew, at least that is what it says
on the manual. Other than Wifi Radar, I also use Windows wireless drivers and Broadcam STA
wireless driver. I updated them when reinstalling 12.04.
The whole problem started about 2 weeks ago, when spring break began. Then I begaan getting different signals on my wifi. There are many hot spots here, and almost everybody has an iphone or ipad.
Also, in an attempt to upgrade to 13.04 everything crashed because wubi isn't supported by 13.04 and I had to reinstall again on wubi. I'd like to try 13.04 first from a usb stick, but mine is too small and I'm looking for one compatable with linux that I can use for this. I have tried various tweeks that I have read on different forums. Nothing works.
If it helps... my laptop is a Samsung RF711. It has NVIDA Optimus , intel core i5. originally with windows 7. (here the problem started ) which is why I want to make a clean install.
I can't understand why wifi works with Windows and not with Ubuntu. Especially since it worked before.
I hope that this is enough information.
I have been using 12.04 happily since installing it. After a crash recently (from wubi) I reinstalled it with a usb stick. All works fine but suddenly, I can't use wifi. It recognizes the signal and shows that it is strong. But Wifi Radar also shows other signals. It just won't connect.
On Windows 7, however(which I also have for emergencies), all is well.
Is this an OS issue, am I missing something... that I also need to reinstall? Any commands that I could use? Or is it just that there is too much interference? (If so, why does it work with Windows?) Is there any way I could block these signals?
Also, I'd like to know which usb sticks are compatable with linux, and how many GB's are needed. I tried to load 13.04 on mine, 4GB and it wasn't eneough.
I know that these might sound like silly questions to those who are more experienced, but I would greatly appreciate any help. (My 60 yr. old brain is slow in learning )
I found this on another site and wanted to share it. A new market for Linux?
I recently discovered a different way to install Ubuntu desktops through the windows Ubuntu installer. It worked for the latest version... no need for iso disk or usb stick. Of course you must have Windows installed on your computer... below is the link.
Some may have already heard about this, but as usual I am late in learning.

In 1997, retail sales begain to slump for the Dairy Farm Group of Companies (DFG), a major food retailer based in Hong Kong with operations in many major cities in Asia Pacific. The Asian economic crisis of 1997 was one cause. However, another major cause was increasing competition from aggressive European and U.S. retail chains that were preparing to gain a foothold in the growing Asian market. DFG realized that to combat competition and retain its dominant position in Asia Pacific, it had to change its business strategy from that of "buying and selling" to "sensing and responding." The case investigates DFG's existing business systems and processes and looks at the possibilities of gaining competitive advantage, either by acquiring state of the art systems and technical infrastructure or through radical redesign of its critical business processes supported by technology.
learning objective:
To examine how organizations gain competitive advantage through business process reengineering (BPR), IT as a facilitator of BPR, and competitive advantage through supply chain integration and logistics management.
subjects covered:
Business processes; Corporate strategy; Information technology; Supply chain management
