I chose this rug based on the description of taupe/light grey, and the product image which looked (at least to me) to have a very subtle sheen to the yarn. In fact this rug is a light brown background favoring towards a pink-y brown, and the swirls are a light blue. It did not even come close to matching the navy blue and greyish taupe color palette I had intended it for, nor did it have any kind of subtle sheen that I thought I could see in the image, and I returned the rug. If you are looking for light brown and blue though, it appeared extremely well made, including a full woven backing cloth and hand-written manufacturing information.
Overall ordering and delivery was flawless as well as return process. So disappointed to have to return item but customer service was gracious and helpful. The color was indicated as gray/silver but was actually blue. I have order several times through Overstock and this was the first return I've made. I will buy other products in the future.
I lov the rug but now that I see the design in the 8 x 10 size, I wish I chose another pattern. I think it is perfect for the 5 x 7 or smaller size but I plan to keep it. It was a great ordering experience.
I purchased the rug for our dining room which is cool gray's. I thought the netural taupe with lt gray would look great, but the lt gray is actually an aqua color and it didn't go at all. Very nice, wool rug and would look gorgeous in another setting. I will look for a different color for our room.
I love this carpet and it was delivered very quickly. It is extremely heavy so make sure it is delivered to the address you want it to be in as it is awkward to move. No complaints with the transaction or quality of product at all...
This rug would be great for a contemporary styling. We have a craftsman with earth tones, so we were attracted to the slate grey. When we got the rug, the "light blue/grey" was a neon green. Sending it back.
Beautiful rug, excellent quality, not bad on shedding. I read the other reviews and it said the color was more of a blue than a gray. I'm an interior decorator and ordered this for a living room that had blues and taupes...but the rug is very much a green-based turquoise type color, not a gray blue. Beautiful (and popular) color combo, but not what I was wanting. Just know that! Otherwise the rug is great.
Beautiful rug. It is wool so it does shed a lot. Overall, good quality and beautiful rug
This is dark tan and baby blue. Taupe and Gray is an inaccurate description.
This is a beautiful rug. HOWEVER, it is NOT taupe and grey. It is rather a taup-ish, grey-ish color and turquoise blue. Not sure which of the actual colors are supposed to be the taup or the grey in the description, but it for sure is a grey-ish and blue rug. Incredibly soft though and overall a wonderful rug.

Ortiz and the team reached an agreement Friday night.
He batted .318 with 23 home runs and 60 RBI in 90 games. His season was limited by a right Achilles strain he sustained on July 16 and played only one more game after that.
Ortiz, 36, has a .290 average with 343 homers and 1,088 RBI in his 10 years with Boston and was key to helping the Red Sox win World Series titles in 2004 and '07.

Perl 6
SMOP: Revision 168
^ Simple Meta Object Programming / Simple Matter Of Programming
If you want to help SMOP, you can just take on one of the lowlevel S1P implementations and write it. If you have any questions ask ruoso or pmurias at #perl6 @ irc.freenode.org. The Slides for the talk "Perl 6 is just a SMOP"<http://people.debian.org/%7Eruoso/SMOP.pdf>""<http://people.debian.org/%7Eruoso/SMOP.pdf> are available, it introduces a bit of the reasoning behind SMOP. A "newer version"<http://www.yourcargo.org/SMOP.pdf> of the talk presented at YAPC::EU 2008 is available SMOP is an alternative implementation of a C engine to run Perl 6. It is focused in getting the most pragmatic approach possible, but still focusing in being able to support all Perl 6 features. Its core resembles Perl 5 in some ways, and it differs from "Parrot"<http://www.perlfoundation.org/parrot> in many ways, including the fact that SMOP is *not a Virtual Machine*. SMOP is simply a runtime engine that happens to have a *interpreter run loop*. The main difference between SMOP and Parrot (besides the not-being-a-vm thing), is that SMOP is from bottom-up an implementation of the Perl 6 OO features, in a way that SMOP should be able to do a full bootstrap of the Perl 6 type system. Parrot on the other hand have a much more static low-level implementation (the PMC) The same way PGE is a project on top of Parrot, SMOP will need a grammar engine for itself. SMOP is the implementation that is stressing the meta object protocol more than any other implementation, and so far that has been a very fruitful exercise, with Larry making many clarifications on the object system thanks to SMOP. * [SMOP Hacking] * [SMOP Debugging] * [SMOP Portability] * [SMOP Status] ^^ Important topics on SMOP * SMOP doesn't recurse in the C stack, and it doesn't actually define a mandatory paradigm (stack-based or register-based). SMOP has a [Polymorphic Eval], that allows you to switch from one interpreter loop to another using Continuation Passing Style. See [SMOP Stackless]. * SMOP doesn't define a object system in its own. The only thing it defines is the concept of [SMOP Responder Interface], which then encapsulates whatever object system. This feature is fundamental to implement the [SMOP Native Types]. * SMOP is intended to bootstrap itself from the low-level to the high-level. This is achieved by the fact that *everything in SMOP is an Object*. This way, even the low-level objects can be exposed to the high level runtime. See [SMOP OO Bootstrap]. * SMOP won't implement a parser in its own, it will use STD or whatever parser gets ported to its runtime first. * In order to enable the bootstrap, the runtime have a set of [SMOP Constant Identifiers] that are available for the sub-language compilers to use. * There are some special [SMOP Values Not Subject to Garbage Collection]. * A new interpreter implementation [SMOP Mold] replaced SLIME * The "official" smop Perl 6 compiler is mildew - it lives in v6/mildew * Currently there exists an old Elf backend which targets SMOP - it lives in misc/elfish/elfX ^^^ Other matters * [SMOP Autovivification]. * [SMOP Boot Sequence]. * [SMOP REFERENCE and RELEASE Policy]. * [SMOP Inter Continuation Communication]. * [SMOP Interpreter Implementation API]. * [SMOP Run Loop]. * [SMOP p6opaque Implementation] * [SMOP OO API and the construction industry] * "How To Fall Asleep"<http://sleepfixes.com> * [SMOP Specific Macros] * "SMOP Toners Cartridges"<http://www.tonerscartridges.com/> * [SMOP Default Metaclass] * [SMOP Lexical Scope Implementation] * [SMOP Code Implementation] * "SMOP Hp Q2612A Cartridge"<http://hpq2612acartridge.com/> * "Granite Countertops NJ"<http://granitemarblenj.com> * [SMOP Late Context Propagation] * [SMOPP5] - SMOP P5 integration ^ Roadmap [SMOP GSoC 2009] See the [Old SMOP Changelog] |

i have one question regarding the diagrams:
Why do you always connect the data points? This does not make any sense.
If you have a value for the resolution 800 x 600 and one for 1024 x 768. Its nonsense to connect the two. Simply because there is for example no resolution of 912 x 684.
IMO a histogram is the only feasible way of visualizing your benchmarking results.

Restaurant Kelly Liken in Vail will host its second annual "Fork to Pork" dinner and demonstration on Friday at 6 p.m. The event will feature special guest and master butcher Mark DeNittis formerly of Denver's Il Mondo Vecchio.
"Throughout the year we are always looking to offer a unique experience to our diners," Liken said. "The evening allows us to tell the story of the dedicated purveyors and people who make up Colorado's farming and culinary community and who continue to showcase the incredible products and meats such as those that Mark sources."
The four-course pork-centric dinner is $99 per person, excluding tax and gratuity. It will be paired with hand-crafted cocktails by Ben Pliska and Nate Michlitsch featuring spirits from Colorado distillery Leopold Bros, and a demonstration by DeNittis focused on butchery techniques, various cuts of the pig, and the versatile use of each cut for preparation.
A long-standing dedication to supporting the Colorado agricultural community, Liken is featuring a whole Blue Butt hog that was raised by Logan Story of Story Farms, a student of the local 4-H program. The program provides opportunities for students to learn within a hands-on environment while exposing them to new ideas in farming. The four-course menu will include seasonal-inspired dishes.
Valet parking is provided. Visit www.kellyliken.com for additional information. Interested parties may also keep up with the high-altitude happenings via Restaurant Kelly Liken and Chef Kelly Liken or by following Liken on Twitter.

Gallery: Gorgeous Green-Roofed Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama See...
A green roof gives it superior insulation
The gorgeous building holds a 450 seat chamber recital hall, a 180 seat theater, 4 rehearsal studios, an exhibition gallery, foyer, terrace, and a cafe bar. It was specifically designed to have excellent acoustics, but also to establish an iconic civic building for Cardiff.
Both the building's heating and cooling is sourced from the ground, significantly reducing its reliance on traditional energy sources, and it is well-lit and ventilated. A green roof that is not easily visible in the images has a great effect on the microclimate while adding insulation value, rounding out the qualities that are likely to help Cardiff's newest building achieve BREEAM Excellent.

For those that can read french a very interesting exposure of the whole rotten thing, which is more in a left wing paper. Situation is direst for Romania if you take into account the director of the IMF, the German influence and the UK so unsure about the EU.
Voting for those anti-romanians ex-communists is a form of suicide, that is sure without a single doubt!

So that L creature, the almost-middle child, she's apparently hell-bent on earning a Middle's reputation even before she's initiated into that club. To wit: she's decided she's potty-training. Let's review, or as my favorite recently-discontinued show's narrator always said, The Facts are These:
-she's not even two yet;
-there's a baby coming into our lives in two months;
-baby-arriving typically causes potty-training regression;
-why regress? why not just not start at all?
-potty-training in the season of Wearing The Most Clothing is Not Efficient;
-potty-training involves much extra bending and reaching, two skills that I don't currently claim amongst my strengths;
-can't we do this later?
Alas, despite my best efforts to believe her interest is Cute But Not Serious, she's defiantly proving otherwise. She spent all of Friday in a single diaper, start to finish, never befouling its Pampersy white interior. She did nearly that well throughout the weekend. She apparently means (ahem) business.
And this girl: she is Little Miss Independent defined. I go use the potty, she declares, and runs for the bathroom. You may turn the light on for her; you may do nothing else until asked. Stand back. She will lift the lid; she will lift her ducky insert seat from the floor to the toilet seat. She will position the stool. She will pull off her pants and her socks. She will remove or try to remove her shirt but only after she fails in the potential presence of snaps or other Toddler-Affronting Clasps will she ask you for help. (Yes, one must apparently remove one's shirt for pee-pees.) She will undo the tabs on her diaper and she will hold it to your face for inspection. This diaper OLD, she'll editorialize, and then I put it in the trash. If the diaper is still clean and useable and you're feeling the just-right combination of feisty-and-frugal-and-argumentative, act fast. "No, love, it's old but it's not dirty. Save it, okay? And you can wear it again." She may or may not acquiesce. She may look you square in the eye as she opens the cabinet door and dumps it in the trash can.
She will thump her chest and pat her thighs. I'm naykee! she'll point out happily (as if you couldn't see that she's naked) and then and only then will she climb upon her ducky throne. And then, the moment of triumph.
She's good with the post-game show, wiping well and washing well and shouting to the world I want my Ms! PINK! because she knows that pee-pees in the potty earn a reward of two M&Ms and since we took her to the M&Ms store in Manhattan at the beginning of the month, she believes that only the pink ones are worthy of crossing her lips.
And all this is lovely despite The Facts are These (see above) but here's where it gets tricky: you can dispense M&Ms or you can withhold M&Ms or you can pull out any other conceivable parenting trick but the child will not put back on one stitch of her clothing.
She will run circles around the house yelling I'm naykee! I'm naykee! I pee-pee and I'm naykee!
It does a mother proud.
Part II: Inverse proportions
L wakes up earlier than her sister. She is often fully dressed by the time E stumbles from her room. I was downstairs with L this morning when E made her first appearance so I gathered L up with me to return upstairs to E's room, so we could get her dressed for the day. As is custom, L selected E's unders, and then she sat down beside us. E de-pajamaed and began to get dressed as L wandered off. E got dressed incrementally, a little bit of just-woke-up coaxing necessary for each step. "Let's get your pants on…okay, let's get your socks on…good job…do you need help with the buttons on your shirt? Really, you need a sweater, too? Okay…the hood is stuck – let me pull it out for you…awesome. You look great! Let's go! L, where are you? E's dressed. It's time to go back downstairs!" I was ready to get this day on the road - to daycare and to work and to Onward and Upward. To Monday, ahoy.
I turned around and saw L in the doorway of the bathroom. For every item of clothing E had put on, L had taken one off. I go pee-pee, Mommy! she announced as she climbed on her ducky insert seat. And she added unnecessarily, I NAYKEE!!!!
Good morning, Monday. Here's to starting the week off right, and right on time.

Coriander Cordandrum sativum - aka Chinese parsley and cilantro, coriander is one of the oldest spices native to southern Europe and North Africa to Asia, and one of the first to arrive in the Americas. Coriander comes from the same plant as cilantro, but they are not interchangeable. Coriander is from the ground seeds and cilantro is from the leaves of the plant. Ground coriander seed is a warming and aromatic spice with lemon citrus overtones used in desserts, sweet pastries, salsa, and curry, in the curry spice blend, garam masala. It is especially suited to seasoning seafood, poultry, and lamb dishes. It can be added to soups, stews, bean dishes, and marinades. It is used in making curry powder blends along with cinnamon, cumin, cloves, chilies, turmeric, pepper, fenugreek, and other spices. Organically grown in India.

How to do a release of the Akonadi server? I ask that myself and then Tom every time I have to do it. So, finally document that here.
Contents |
Run the makechangelog script in the source directory (which either is trunk or branches/akonadi/<version> depending on if you are doing a major (pre-)release or a minor one):
sh makechangelog
That will add all revisions since the last time to the ChangeLog file.
Next step is to update the NEWS file, run svn diff ChangeLog and summarize the changes for that.
Finally, update the version number in the top-level CMakeLists.txt and commit all your changes.
Tagging a major (pre-)release, i.e. a release from trunk is done with the following (server side and thus fast) svn command:
svn cp $SVNPROTOCOL://$firstname.lastname@example.com/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport/akonadi $SVNPROTOCOL://$firstname.lastname@example.com/home/kde/tags/akonadi/x.y.z
git checkout master
git tag vx.y.z
git push --tags
Obviously, replace protocol, username and version with appropriate values.
For a stable release, that is a release from a stable branch, the command looks like this:
svn cp $SVNPROTOCOL://$email@example.com/home/kde/branches/akonadi/x.y $SVNPROTOCOL://$firstname.lastname@example.com/home/kde/tags/akonadi/x.y.z
It might also be needed to update the latest kdesupport-for-4.x tag with the new release. Use the following commands for that:
svn rm $SVNPROTOCOL://$firstname.lastname@example.com/home/kde/tags/kdesupport-for-4.x/akonadi
svn cp $SVNPROTOCOL://$email@example.com/home/kde/tags/akonadi/x.y.z $SVNPROTOCOL://$email@example.com/home/kde/tags/kdesupport-for-4.x/akonadi
A new stable branch is created by the following command:
svn cp $SVNPROTOCOL://$email@example.com/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport/akonadi $SVNPROTOCOL://$email@example.com/home/kde/branches/akonadi/x.y
Afterwards perform the following steps:
You need the tarball creation script from kdesdk for that.
cd KDE/kdesdk/scripts/createtarball
Next, edit config.ini to contain the following for releases from trunk:
mainmodule = trunk/kdesupport
submodule = akonadi
wholeModule = yes
version = x.y.z
docs = no
translations= no
remove = makechangelog
For releases from the branch, config.ini needs to contain the following:
mainmodule = branches/akonadi
submodule = x.y
wholeModule = yes
version = x.y.z
docs = no
translations= no
remove = makechangelog
Then, run the create_tarball script:
./create_tarball.rb -u $SVNUSER -a akonadi
Wait a bit and check the tarball created in the current directory. Should be akonadi-x.y.z.tar.bz2.
TODO: can we simplify this by e.g. using CPack?
Upload the tarball somewhere and notify Tom or Volker to move it to http://download.akonadi-project.org/ (unless you are one of those two, then upload directly).
Log into http://bugs.kde.org/, chose Edit Products -> Akonadi -> Add version and add the version you just released.
Update channel topic on #akonadi.
Finally, apologize to Dirk for being late again with the release ;-)

Walt Disney has released a new poster for their upcoming animated feature Frozen. They have also announced that a new trailer will arrive September 26th, 2013. Check out the new poster below. The buzz for this film is pretty good, which is surprising considering it features a talking Snowman.
The Pot: In "Frozen," fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) teams up with rugged mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven in an epic journey, encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf (voice of Josh Gad) in a race to find Anna's sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.
Frozen is in theaters in 3D on November 27, 2013.

Friday federal headlines - Dec. 28, 2012
Friday - 12/28/2012, 12:49pm EST
The Morning Federal Newscast is a daily compilation of the stories you hear Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp discuss throughout the show each day. The Newscast is designed to give FederalNewsRadio.com users more information about the stories you hear on the air.
- With sequestration budget cuts now a distinct possibility, the Office of Personnel Management has issued advice on federal employee furloughs. A 30-page online guide describes what OPM calls administrative furloughs, which are different from government shutdown furloughs. The White House says if sequestration occurs next week, agencies should not expect immediate changes. An administrative furlough can be planned long in advance if an agency anticipates budget cuts. Once furloughed, employees are not allowed to work without pay. (Federal News Radio)
- Most federal employees will get their first pay raise — 0.5 percent — in more than two years on April 7, according to an executive order from President Barack Obama. All General Schedule employees and about 41,000 other feds under special rates will receive the pay raise, according to new guidance from the Office of Personnel Management. Obama announced in August that he would lift the freeze. Military members are getting a bigger raise sooner. They'll see their paychecks go up 1.7 percent next month. (OPM)
- President Obama will meet with congressional leaders at the White House today. They'll try to come up with a last-minute deal to head off a scheduled jump in tax rates and automatic budget cuts. None of the players has expressed much optimism they can reach a deal. Yesterday, Democratic and Republican senators traded barbs. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has called his chamber back into session for Sunday night. Congress is also under pressure to pass a farm bill. Otherwise, milk prices could rise by two dollars a gallon. (Federal News Radio)
- The State Department has closed its embassy in the Central African Republic, and the ambassador and his diplomatic team have been told to leave the country. Rebel forces are advancing toward the capital of Bangui and violence is rising. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta ordered the African Command to evacuate U.S. citizens and some foreign nationals. A State Department spokesman says the United States still has diplomatic relations with the Central African Republic. He said the evacuation is strictly for the personal safety of Amb. Lawrence Wohlers, his family and staff. Other Americans in the country are urged to leave on commercial flights. (Federal News Radio)
- EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson says she's stepping down after nearly four years on the job. She didn't give a specific reason. Jackson, a chemical engineer, frequently battled Congressional Republicans and industry over the Obama administration's environmental policies. The GOP chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Fred Upton of Michigan, said last year Jackson would need her own parking spot at the Capitol because he planned to bring her in so frequently for questioning. Jackson pushed for new controls on coal fired electrical plants, and for preventing construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. (Federal News Radio)
- The head of the National Nuclear Security Administration is also stepping down next month. Thomas D'Agostino says it's a difficult decision to make after more than five years in the role — and 36 years in the government. But he says organizations are healthier when leadership changes periodically, and the time is right for a change. D'Agostino will leave on Jan. 18, when President Barack Obama's first term officially ends. CNN in 2010 called D'Agostino "undersecretary for saving the world," citing his leadership of top-secret missions to help former Soviet countries secure loose nuclear material. (NNSA)

I was at a meeting & the topic was, "What's different now that you're sober?
A woman shared, "Today, i can SEE the sunrise, the rainbow, the flowers and people."
When it was my turn to share, what came out was, "Today, I AM the sunrise, the rainbow, the flowers and people."
I realized that I was everything beautiful & was connected to everyone.
It was strange living this at first. Maybe it's something I need to grow into.
But I noticed everything looked different, like trees & material things, & then it came to me that it was I that was different!
I swear, it's put more of a bounce in my step than that morning cup of coffee!

Staff Profile
Career Summary
Kim holds the position of Conjoint Professor in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. She was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 1993 and studied restraint minimisation practices in dementia-specific units across the globe. Her qualifications and extensive experience are in the field of social gerontology and dementia. Kim's interests include collaborative and transformative practice development as a means of implementing and evaluating person-centred approaches to care practice - and particularly, the importance of gathering rigorous practice-based evidence with which to inform evidence-based practice during all research ventures. Kim also has considerable knowledge and experience using quality of life tools to develop better practice in the care of people living with dementia. Kim completed a PhD in 2001 which required continual observation over a period of one year in the clinical field with people with dementia. Observations involved the use of a specific quality of life tool used in research for the first time in Australia. During her research, she evaluated the outcomes of enriching the sensory environment of people with dementia. Kim's research interests and activities in the speciality field of caring for people living with dementia embrace interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly with psychologists and cover issues including chemosensory loss, sensory enrichment, pain, the person-centred approach, sleep hygiene, depression, behaviour as communication and the language of the profession of gerontology. Kim has studied internationally at the University of Bradford and was the first Australian to complete the Basic User Course in Dementia Care Mapping. She trained several hundred health care professionals across Australia at Basic and Advanced level in the application of this observational tool. Kim has published book chapters, refereed journal articles and a number of opinion pieces and articles nationally and internationally. She has also written numerous training packages about improving care for poeple with dementia for private industry and government organisations. Kim has been invited to present key note presentations in the USA and the UK and has also presented in several other countries as well as most states of Australia. She has studied and worked with colleagues in 15 countries over a period of nearly 20 years. She has taught at undergraduate level and at Master's level and frequently mentors students referred to her for assistance. In 2012, Kim provided pro bono assistance to several industry groups for example, the preparation of a major grant application for the Urban Indigenous Community aged-care (UICAC) Network and allied Indigenous organisations. Kim values opportunities to undertake HRD thesis examination.

Dakine Surfboard Bags
Dakine adds a little extra length to each bag so that your bag and board length should be the same. (i.e. an 8'0" board will fit in an 8'0" bag) If you are in between sizes, go up to the next length. If you are using your bag for protection while on the roof of your car, or in the back of your truck, one of our Daylight Bags may be all the protection you need. For more everyday protection consider one of our more heavy duty Deluxe series bags.

For many local growers, a lack of a significant rainfall sometime over the next seven to 10 days is going to be a make or break event.
Terry Erwin, Morehouse Parish agent for the LSU AgCenter, said Friday that about 25 to 30 percent of the 60,000 to 70,000 acres of soybeans planted this season in Morehouse was planted on "dry land," meaning little or non irrigation methods.

With the introduction of the Big Shot, KSwiss aims to please with speed. The shoe is not only lightweight, but also has design features specifically engineered to help players move faster on court. The shoe offers a familiar low-to-the-ground feel with a slipper-like feel on the foot for a lightweight feel. The Big Shot features a propulsion plate to help keep players on their toes, and KSwiss says the wider base in the forefoot enhances foot speed as well. Not fogetting durability, KSwiss equipped the Big Shot with a guaranteed Aosta 7.0 outsole and placed Dura-Wrap on the toe in key areas to protect the shoe against even the heaviest toe draggers. This blend of durability and speed features makes the Big Shot a good fit for competitors looking for the best of both worlds in one shoe.
- Fit: Length fits true to size. Width is medium in the forefoot with a snug fit in the heel. Arch support sits lower than medium. No break-in required.
- Upper: Leather and synthetic mesh with a heat-welded TPU midfoot support system to lock your foot in place. Dura-Wrap overlay in high wear areas to protect against court abrasions.
- Midsole: Superfoam foot bed offers resilent full-length cushioning. The Guideglide stability features supports the midfoot and wraps around the heel for comfort. The Ballistic Propulsion plate helps keep players on the balls of their feet during play.
- Outsole: The Aosta 7.0 high abrasion rubber outsole offers durability and long-lasting traction in a modified herringbone tread pattern. Outsole is backed by a six-month durability guarantee.
- Weight: 13 ounces (size 8.5)
- Color: White / Silver

Our technicians recommend having the constant velocity (CV) boots and CV joints inspected at each service. Servicing torn CV boots early can prevent the need to replace the CV half shaft or CV joint.
2001 Audi S4 Problem Reports
RepairPal Verified 2001 Audi S4 Problem Reports
Vacuum leaks, oxygen sensor failure, and catalytic converter efficiency faults can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Premature wear in various multi-link suspension components can cause noises that are difficult to diagnose. Worn suspension parts can also cause uneven tire wear and create steering alignment problems.
Engine oil leaks are common from the valve cover gaskets and camshaft chain tensioner gasket.
A problem with the torque converter can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate.
The water pump may fail resulting in engine overheating and possible timing belt damage. Overheating and/or timing belt failure can result in very expensive engine repairs. As a precaution, it is recommended to inspect the timing belt and water pump at regular intervals.
An ignition coil or spark plug may fail unexpectedly resulting in an engine misfire and possible illumination of the Check Engine Light.
Clogged drains can allow rainwater to accumulate in the plenum tray (at the base of the windshield). The water may leak into the vehicle's interior, brake booster, or electrical components, which can lead to major problems. Our technicians recommend keeping the tray clear of leaves, pine needles, and other debris.
A fluid leak may develop from the propeller shaft seal on the rear of the transmission. Our technicians tell us that replacing the seal will commonly correct this concern.
Erratic turn signal operation can be a result of a failing turn signal flasher relay which will require replacement.

E-books have been around since the early 1990s but have had a slow adoption by the higher education community. While e-books allow for the inclusion of richer media, providing a more interactive experience for the reader, the format, as well as access and copyright issues, are still currently evolving. Explore this resource site—a collection of all EDUCAUSE resources related to E-Books.
Articles, Papers, and Reports
- Cost Differentials between E-Books and Print in Academic Libraries, College & Research Libraries. January 2015. This article discusses how academic libraries face funding pressures compounded by the need to provide students with access to electronic resources, both in journal and book formats. Dealing with space constraints and the need to repurpose library space to other uses, libraries must carefully examine the move to e-only formats for books to determine if the format makes reasonable economic sense.
- The Current State and Potential Future of E-Textbooks, ELI Brief, November 5, 2013. The University of Washington conducted a pilot to investigate two leading e-textbook platforms to determine which platform participants preferred. Participating instructors taught with their choice of e-textbook and selected the platform they preferred; they were not required to use the e-textbook in a predetermined manner. This brief discusses the pilot and its findings.
- Understanding What Higher Education Needs from E-Textbooks: An EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Pilot, ECAR Report. July 2013. This pilot shed light not just on the usability of McGraw-Hill textbooks in Courseload but more broadly on the value of digital materials in higher education at this time.
- Stanford School of Medicine E-Book Pilots, ELI Brief, January 2013. This project focused on the authoring and publishing processes as well as the response of the residents who were to be the eventual users.
- E-books: Developments and Policy Considerations, OECD, October 2012
- A Study of Four Textbook Distribution Models, EDUCAUSE Quarterly, December 2011. In preparation for campus-wide e-text adoption, Daytona State College completed a two-year comparative study of four textbook distribution models: print purchase, print rental, e-text rental, and e-text rental with e-reader device.

People & Business :: Earnings/Finance Ferro swings to loss on drastically lower demand12:04 PM MDT | October 31, 2012 | Vincent Valk Ferro swung to a $316-million net loss for the third-quarter, compared with a $19.3-million profit in the year-ago period, on sales down 24% year-on-year (YOY), to $415 million. Results were impacted by a severe drop in demand in the company's electronic materials business, particularly related to solar pastes, as the solar end-market continues to be very weak. The company incurred restructuring and impairment charges of $199 million, mostly because of an impairment of goodwill in the company's electronic materials segment. Excluding those charges, Ferro's... This information is only available to Chemical Week subscribers. Forgot your user ID or password?

EDMONTON - Wanda Karstens met Kevin George when she was a mall rat at Bonnie Doon and he, the head of security and the object of Karstens' teenage crush.
George was a compassionate man, even at age 23, Karstens said: hard on shoplifters and drug dealers, but fair and friendly to mall rats like herself, arranging for an empty store front to become a teen centre.
George remained in the security world, eventually opening his own security firm and training guards, correctional officers and jail riot squads, but also training dogs to track criminals, and to find missing people as part of Alberta's first Search and Rescue team.
"He had an air about him and a walk about him that exuded authority, and yet at the same time he was very compassionate," Karstens said.
George, 67, died May 4 from a massive stroke, his health having deteriorated after several heart attacks and a battle with diabetes.
Karstens, who remained friends with George, took her first mutt, Wolf, to George's Sentry Dogs school for training, then worked at the school herself for 10 years, answering phones and occasionally teaching classes.
"He liked dogs because they're honest," said Karstens, 58. "With dogs, it's black and white. It doesn't matter what you do to a dog, they always have unconditional affection for you."
George, who was born Sept. 16, 1946, got hooked on dogs at the age of seven or eight, when his father suggested he help a blind man with a dog kennel full of Newfoundlands in the Mill Creek ravine, near George's family home.
Young George not only helped clean the kennels and feed the dogs, but also took the man's Irish wolfhound and greyhounds to hunt coyotes for bounty.
In 1979, George launched his Sentry dog school with Karstens' belligerent dog in the second class.
"(Wolf) tried to start a dogfight every week and he tried to fight Kevin every week," Karstens said. By the end of the course, Wolf finished second highest in the class and remained on George's demonstration team for life, showing off at Home and Garden shows or K-Days.
George worked with the Edmonton Police Service's K9 unit, and received awards for introducing RCMP Search and Rescue dog training standards to Alberta so the animals could help with ground, water and disaster searches. George travelled as far as the Netherlands and Iceland to share his dog-training skills.
Closer to home, he was the Grade 9 grad date for Karsten's daughter, Breanna Karstens-Smith.
"It doesn't sound like every 14-year-old's dream date, but I wouldn't have had it any other way," Karstens-Smith said in an email. She got into a hair-pulling fight with another girl that night, and while her mother worried she had dirtied her homemade crystal-embellished gown, "Uncle Kevin" correctly asked: "Did you win?"
George was also Karstens-Smith's biggest fan as she began her career in TV journalism. After his death, Karstens-Smith found a folder in his house labelled "Famous TV Star" which held a photo of her reporting in Medicine Hat.
"I know Uncle Kevin kept a roof over our heads multiple times," she said. "There were a few times when we couldn't afford all the bills on time, or groceries. … It was at that time he gave my mom a job at the dog school."
George was also a ju-jitsu master who taught self-defence classes to women at his own dojo or training school. He played conga drums in bands, was a magician and a rodeo clown.
"I made an appearance in that sport, too," said son Ryan George, 45. "As a small kid, I needed to go pee so naturally I hopped into the rodeo ring and headed to my dad. Problem was, he was facing off with a very large and angry bull at the time. The crowd roared with excitement, or maybe fear, but he made the dash to rescue me."
In the early years, George even trained the Edmonton Valley Zoo's Lucy the elephant to pick things up with her trunk or stand on one foot. When George visited her after a 13-year hiatus, Karstens said, Lucy "remembered him. She was all over him, loving him."
George always offered compliments for good work, and created "tiger claws" to rake through a dog's fur while offering praise in a high-pitched voice.
"Sheer ecstasy" for the dogs, Karstens said.
Cathy Kruschke, who grew up two doors down from the George family in the Ritchie neighbourhood, said he always looked after people, remaining for life in his family home to take care of his 94-year-old mother and his aunt. George regularly paid for the restaurant tabs of police officers, strangers and friends from across the room, including Kruschke and her mother.
"He was a very kind guy," Kruschke said. "He could be very gruff, as people in the security business can be, but inside, he was a real marshmallow."
George is survived by his mother, his brother, son, daughter-in-law and only granddaughter, 11-year-old Carmen.
