you must get your diagnostic trouble codes read, have manny moe or jack come out and scan the car, or do it yourself with your own scanner-
virgosa answered about a year ago
Thanks, will have to wait until it isn't starting in the drive way.
virgosa answered about a year ago
No check lites. Engine cranks, fuel pump works but no fuel to engine. Outside temperature 85 degrees. Drove home earlier, turned car off and waited 5 seconds, car started easily. Half hour later the car wouldn't start. Fuel pump working but, no fuel to engine. Five minutes later car starts easily.
judge_roy answered about a year ago
it is temperature related...no...therefore am going to suggest an ambient air temperature sensor....yes they exist~
virgosa answered about a year ago
Thanks, I'll check it out. Will get back when I'm sure of the solution.
judge_roy answered about a year ago
if it has fuel injection it need to know the ambient temperature, if it is a carb, there is heat-riser and stove-kit~
Michael answered about a year ago
You have the fuel injected 302 in this car. If the pump is kicking in, but no gas is reaching the engine, there are 2 things I can think of. The first is vapor lock. It is uncommon, but if the fuel line has been replaced, and not routed properly, it can happen that the gas boils off. The second is a defective regulator. It may be closing under certain temperature conditions.

Key-value caches play an important role in the infrastructure of many Web sites. Analyzing their workloads can lead not only to a better understanding of how these unique tools are used in production, but can also lead to better design decisions in future implementations. Abstract This paper analyzes the workload of Memcached at Facebook, one of the world's largest key-value deployments. We look at server-side performance, request composition, caching efficacy, and key locality. Our observations lead to several design insights and new research directions for key value caches, such as the relative inadequacy of the least-recently-used replacement policy.

Tradition, fairness and the big society – a new politics for new times?
I need to get back to regular posting. So I'm going to spend a few days exploring the contours of a new political framework….
After a difficult period it was a treat last night to settle back in the Great Room and watch The Flaw, a film about the credit crunch which numbers amongst its executive producers the RSA Chairman, Luke Johnson. It is a terrific film, intelligent and persuasive, but also entertaining, witty and at times moving. Most fascinating to me was its core thesis; that the biggest driver of the crisis was wage and asset inequality.
The period between the late 1970s and 2007 saw accelerating income inequality. This reflected, on the one hand, globalisation and de-industrialisation in the West, and, on the other, deliberate policies to weaken trade unions, liberalise labour laws and lower taxes on wealth. In essence, growing income disparity in the USA saw an extra trillion and half dollars flow up to the richest one percent.
But, while the rich and their banks were unwilling to allow middle and poorer workers to be paid more (over the last three decades wages for all but the rich have stagnated in the US), they were more than happy to encourage the poor to borrow money. Of the 1.5 trillion dollars that flowed up in wealth, a trillion then flowed down in borrowing, much of it, from the point of view of the borrower, very ill-advised. This was the cause of the bubble and the bust.
(By the way, here in the UK we are far from out of the woods. The fall in house prices reported last month by Halifax and yesterday's confirmation of disappointing retail sales both reinforce the worries of those who think we are in for a Japan-style long stagnation, or worse. As Paul Krugman and Robin Wells argue in the latest New York Review of Books, the problem is how to kick start an economy when deficits are already high and interest rates are close to zero.)
As I have written before (and at the risk of sounding self serving), I think one of the strengths of the RSA in comparison to other, more predictable think tanks is that we have a Chief Executive from a left of centre background and a Chairman who is an enthusiastic champion of competitive markets and private enterprise. It was fascinating that Luke should have been involved in a film which reached a conclusion so comforting to social democrats. In part, I suspect, this reflects Luke's commitment not to interfere with the film's creative team, but might it also be a sign of the changing contours of political debate?
I see a new political space opening up which combines three positions which have not traditionally cohered:
– Opposition to extreme, unmerited and destructive levels of inequality: 'fairness does matter'
– Scepticism about the central state as a direct agent of social change and a preference for models which are driven bottom up by citizen initiative and community action; 'a big society not a big state'
– Recognition of the importance to human functioning both of values such as respect, virtue, thrift, moderation and of the norms and institutions which embody these values: 'enlightened social conservatism'.
Fairness matters, big society not big state, enlightened social conservatism: do these ideas make sense and can we agree broadly what they mean? Are they philosophically compatible and is it possible to imagine a political and policy programme emerging from them?
This new framework doesn't dissolve ideological differences. Someone from a right of centre background might agree that inequality is excessive now but would be willing to go much less far towards egalitarianism than someone from the left. But practical politics starts from where we find ourselves now. It is the world after the credit crunch and facing such challenges as the relative decline of the West, population ageing and climate change, and that provides the basis for unusual alliances and innovative ways of thinking.
I would be thrilled if people could give me their thoughts so we could get this debate going for a few days.

I've had two kids within 4 years and I'm still a size 0 because I care about my body and what I put in it. Being over weight shows that you're lazy and don't care enough about yourself.
Bored huh? I'm not fat, but I've always led an active lifestyle. I can see how it's harder for people who didn't grow up that way. Metabolism changes in your mid twenties and then you can't eat the way you used to and you have to change your life. I can see where that can be hard. Or people gain weight for one reason or another and then again they would have to change their life to lose it.

Management Earnings Forecasts and Forward-Looking StatementsZahn BozanicOhio State University (OSU) - Department of Accounting & Management Information Systems Darren T. RoulstoneOhio State University (OSU) - Fisher College of Business Andrew Van BuskirkOhio State University (OSU) - Department of Accounting & Management Information Systems May 21, 2013 Abstract: Firms provide a significant amount of forward-looking disclosure to investors. Although quantitative earnings forecasts have been the overwhelming focus of prior research on these disclosures, they represent only a small fraction of forward-looking statements. We use textual analysis to examine managers' disclosures of forward-looking statements, looking at both earnings-related and non-earnings-related prospective statements. We find that earnings-related forward-looking statements are similar to traditionally-studied (i.e., First Call) earnings forecasts, in terms of both determinants and investor response. However, we show that the vast majority of forward-looking statements do not refer directly to earnings and, more importantly, are significantly different from earnings-related statements. For example, while managers are less likely to issue earnings forecasts and earnings-related forward-looking statements when uncertainty is high, they issue more non-earnings-related forward-looking statements when uncertainty is high. Our results suggest that, contrary to results in prior literature, managers may actually respond to increased investor demand for information by issuing more forward-looking statements, but do so in ways that prior research has overlooked. In short, the well-documented attributes of quantitative earnings forecasts cannot be extended to most forward-looking statements.

Africa turns the tide on doomsday predictions
A decade ago, doomsday forecasts asserted the Aids pandemic would sharply curtail African economic growth but two countries have forced a rethink.
A series of bumper maize harvests in two of the countries worst-hit by the disease, Zambia and Malawi, suggest the region's economies have not followed this script, thanks in part to treatment programmes and farm subsidies.
The predicted scenarios generally went like this: subsistence farming would be devastated because working-age peasants would sicken or die, leaving the back-breaking labour in the fields to the young and the old, with yields suffering.
Aids was seen as potentially a greater economic shock to Africa than the bubonic plague was to Europe centuries ago as the latter killed far more of the very young and the very old than it did those in the prime of their lives.
The examples of Malawi and Zambia may force a rethink of how the pandemic is playing out in African economies and suggests the continent is winning key battles against the disease.
A few years ago Malawi was gripped by food shortages and rural residents risked crocodile attack to scour rivers for plants that offered scant nutrition but prevented starvation.
But over the past several years, Malawi and Zambia have been reaping bumper harvests, boosting economic growth in two countries where small-scale farming still accounts for a big chunk of gross domestic product.
Record crops
Zambia's maize production in the 2010/11 season was a record of over 3-million tonnes, up from the 2.8-million tonnes produced in the 2009/10 season. This is over double what it was growing a few years ago, according to government data.
Malawi has also had record crops and its maize output has also more than doubled, from 1.7-million tonnes in 2003/04 to 3.8-million last year – an astonishing turn-around.
Both countries are expected to produce less this season than last because of weather-related factors but should still have more than enough to feed themselves.
This state of affairs has been mostly attributed to subsidy programmes in both countries that provide seed and fertiliser to hundreds of thousands of peasant farmers.
Yet it is perhaps no accident that, according to data compiled by UNAids, the Aids death rates for both countries peaked in 2004 and then started dropping off – a trend that generally coincided with increasing maize production.
In Malawi, the annual number of Aids deaths is estimated by UNAids to have peaked at around 70 000 in 2004 and fell to 50 000 by 2008. Zambia's situation has been similar.
Becoming incapacitated
A dropping death rate suggests less workers are being felled in the fields and also means they are not becoming incapacitated by the illness as fast.
This is in large part because of the roll-out of antiretrovital therapy and drugs which prolong the lives of those affected by the syndrome. In Malawi over 250 000 people have received such treatment.
The success of the drugs is underscored by the fact that while death rates are in decline, the sheer number of people in both countries with Aids has still been rising, doubling over the past two decades to around a million in each.
The prevalence rate among 15 to 49-year-olds also appears to have peaked though it remains over 10% in both countries.
According to the prophets of Aids doom, the consequences for African economies would not stop at rural fields. Consumer demand was seen depressed as workers died and families deprived of breadwinners struggled to cope.
An army of feral Aids orphans would fuel already chilling rates of violent crime, deterring badly needed investment, while sectors such as mining would lose vital workers and skills.
Case load
Things have not unfolded in precisely this manner.
Crime rates in South Africa, while still sky-high, have been falling despite huge numbers of Aids orphans, while the retail sector on the continent has blasted off.
The Economist last year calculated that from 2001/10, six of the world's 10 fastest growing economies were in Africa – the region which has a whole has the biggest Aids case load.
A lot of number-crunching and analysis still needs to be done on the role that Aids is playing in all of this and there are many unknowns at work here.
Fast-growing African economies and the harvests in Zambia and Malawi may have been even bigger were it not for burdens related to Aids.
Rural economies may be showing unexpected resilience in the face of the pandemic because of extended family ties. When the household head dies, a sibling or cousin may step in to help.
Aids is clearly an on-going human and social tragedy in Africa. But it does seem that the risks to economic growth and food security have not been as great as many had feared. – Reuters

Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre
A swimming and fitness centre
A tribute to one of Australia's most successful athletes, the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre was the last public building designed by the late Harry Seidler.
The facility has a distinctive wave-shaped roof and includes a 50 metre heated pool, a separate pool for more leisurely swimming, spa, steam room, café and fitness centre.
The Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre also features green initiatives such as hydraulically operable roof vents for natural ventilation, rainwater harvesting for internal amenities such as toilets and sprinkler systems, and automated lighting to reduce energy consumption.

From Conservapedia
Plato was a great Greek philosopher who lived from 428 to 347 BC. His family name was Aristocles. He was a friend of Socrates and founded the Academy, where Plato taught his philosophy, which entailed many separate disciplines.
Contents |
Plato is one of the half-dozen most influential philosophers in world history, and his work is studied today in every philosophy department. Plato's most famous work is The Republic. One of Plato's pupils was Aristotle, an equally important philosopher with a philosophy that grew out of Plato's school.
Platonism influenced Greco-Roman culture after Plato's time and was the most important philosophical influence upon the early Christian philosophers who sought to understand and defend biblical teaching.[1]
Plato's works are different from the majority of philosophical works in style and structure. He wrote dialogs which combined elements of both Greek tragedy and philosophy. His works are conversational dramas filled with irony and 'hidden' content which only the experienced reader will recognize and understand. And he did not write explicit treatises, instead slowly and indirectly revealing his ideas over the course of dozens of dialogues written across the course of his life through the words of his characters.
Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it.
Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.
As the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser.
Excess generally causes reaction, and produces a change in the opposite direction, whether it be in the seasons, or in individuals, or in governments.
Plato's Cave
Plato had his character Socrates present the myth of the cave in The Republic. In this myth there are men chained in a cave, with a fire somewhere behind them casting light and shadows on the walls in front of them. They cannot turn their heads and may only gaze upon these shadows. The prisoners establish a primitive social order in which respect is granted to those who can correctly predict which shape the flames random gyrations will next be projected onto the wall. In the myth one of these prisoners is set free, and eventually finds his way out of the cave into the realm of the sun and truth. In Socrates' thought experiment of a myth this freed man is then forced to return to the cave, where he tries to tell his companions of the truth he has seen, which they can only understand as the ravings of a madman.
The Soul
Plato had his characters take the existence of the human soul on faith, following the example of Socrates, who believed in the soul because a benevolent spirit spoke directly to his. In the Phaedo Socrates tells a myth where only as disembodied souls can we possess true knowledge of the Forms. The soul in a human body cannot obtain true knowledge due to the body's failings and distractions. However, by study of philosophy one can regain the path to the true knowledge of the Forms, and prepare oneself for the realm to come after death.

Overnight lows will settle in the low 30s, with more clouds moving in. A chance of rain arrives for the weekend, forecasters say, with highs in the 60s on Saturday and the 50s on Sunday.

New York Knick's Carmelo 'Melo' Anthony, one of the highest paid NBA players, is giving back to his community. Melo has returned to Puerto Rico for a fourth year to dedicate yet another basketball court to kids in the U.S. territory.
"I've been blessed to be able to do and create this platform this court for kids through my foundation ... To come back here in Puerto Rico to try and make an impact in each of these communities we pick every year - that's the easy part. 'Cause I kinda take being a role model to a lot of communities to a lot of kids - I know I have a lot of kids that look up to me - and that a lot of these communities and kids are looking for hope. And for me to be able this hope and belief once again -that's what I'm here for, just to spread the love and just to have some fun," the Knicks forward player said in a press conference with the media last week.
Watch the full conference here:
A day after the press conference, Carmelo Anthony hosted his first ever Golf Challenge, which he hopes to make an annual event in his visits in Puerto Rico. See the video here.
On Thursday, Aug 15, he played a game of softball with his friends, family and Knicks teammates for fans in the community.
Watch a clip of the game here:
A Very Melo Weekend indeed.
Carmelo Anthony, who escaped the harshness of a drug- and violence-ridden community through sports, has been involved in philanthropic causes since early 2000s. In 2006, he donated a whopping $1.5 million to the Living Classrooms Foundation - a Baltimore based non-profit organisation that aims to strengthen communities and inspire the youth to reach their potential by providing "hands-on education and job training, using urban, natural and maritime resources as 'living classrooms.'"

Tampa Bay Lightning GM Steve Yzerman came into the 2012 NHL Entry Draft armed with picks and many expecting him to use them in a potential trade.
On Saturday morning, that prediction came true.
Yzerman made the first significant move of Round 2 by sending Michel Ouellet and his fifth-round pick to Boston in exchange for Benoit Pouliot.
Okay, the rights to Benoit Pouliot.
Pouliot, 25, is an impending RFA coming off a deal that saw him make $1.1 million last year with the Bruins. The former first-round pick — Minnesota took him fourth overall in 2005 — had a decent-if-unspectacular 2011-12 campaign in Boston, scoring 16G-16A-32PTS in 74 games (career highs in goals and points, by the way.)
CSNNE.com's Joe Haggerty said the Bruins "had little intention of qualifying [Pouliot] as an RFA," so the deal gives Yzerman a head start on negotiating — within the parameters of restricted free agent qualifying offers, of course.
As for the fit, the deal makes sense given Pouliot's ties to the Lightning. He briefly played under head coach Guy Boucher with Montreal's AHL affiliate in Hamilton, along with Lightning forwards J.T. Wyman and Tom Pyatt.
- pastabelly - Jun 23, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Benoit is a talented player who lack hockey sense. He belongs on a fourth line and certainly belongs in the league. But the Bruins have a fourth line and there was no room for him. I wish him well in Tampa.
- sunking1 - Jun 23, 2012 at 11:58 AM
I'd love to have a 4th line filled with 16G-16A-32PTS guys.
- thesableo - Jun 23, 2012 at 1:17 PM
I would say consistency is Pouliot's problem, not hockey sense. He had 37 takeaways last year and only 8 giveaways, so clearly he was playing intelligently. At times he had trouble translating that into scoring chances (and at times he was f-ing brilliant). I think with the right linemates he can put up 2nd-3rd line points. There's no guarantee he will, but he's still worth a gamble.
- drewsylvania - Jun 23, 2012 at 11:27 AM
Pouliot might have turned a corner. But it makes just as much sense to trade him while his value is high. Plus, if the Bruins weren't going to qualify him, they're basically getting something for nothing.
Ouellet (I think this is the proper spelling, BTW–there's a Michel Ouelette but he appears to be out of hockey) looks like he might be decent if he returns from playing in Hamburg. And more picks are always good.
- lordfletcher - Jun 23, 2012 at 11:55 AM
his value high?
an AHLer and a 5th.
- odj810 - Jun 23, 2012 at 1:02 PM
I Don't like the move. Pouliot has unbelievable ability. He was turning a corner playing for the bruins. He would have cost 2m for this year and would most likely have signed a 1 yr deal. You have the cap space sign him. You got nothing in return. It would have been a low risk high reward move to see how he further develops under the coaching staff.
- pastabelly - Jun 23, 2012 at 6:28 PM
He's not good enough to play on the Bruins 3rd line. Peverley, Kelly, and Caron or Knight should get that spot.
- lsxphotog - Jun 24, 2012 at 1:22 AM
I think he'll be a good fit in Tampa. However, Ouellet was good as well, albeit less proven. Interesting move, let's see how it pans out. Hell, he may not even make it through camp! haha

R0cks0l1dd posted... Shadow_StarWolf posted...Bulba's news is wrong as expected. Well, with a title like 'Pokken Fighters', what am I supposed to assume? A fighting game is the first natural assumption I'd make, especially since 'ken' means fist in Japanese and that the title is similar to 'Tekken', another fighting game series. I don't think it will have to do with the TCG, since the Japanese trademark was filed under the video-game related categories. --- I am a Christian, and proud of it.

The granite would be great for petroglyphs! They are made by striking the rock many times to knock away the patina in a pattern, unlike pictographs, which are made by drawing on the rocks. There is an artist here in Arizona that I have seen do a demonstration with fourth graders on petroglyphs, during which time they learned the importance of original petroglyphs and how to preserve them. I unfortunately cannot remember his name. I will have to dig for it.

The number of people in Australia and around the world is increasing rapidly, particularly people over the age of 65. As part of the aging process, cases of dementia. cognitive impairment and mental iIIness become more prevalent. The issue of competence in this population has become more significant in recent years . Older people frequently face decisions that require the consultation of a lawyer, such as issues over wills and financial investments. Preventative law advocate lawyers act as therapeutic agents, preventing stress and discomfort in elderly clients making legal decisions. In order for practising lawyers to act as therapeutic agents, an ability to detect impaired decision making capacity in older adults is required. The present study explores this issue further.

Cyclist airlifted after collision with bus on Highway 305
POULSBO — A cyclist was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center after her bicycle collided with a Kitsap Transit bus on Highway 305 and Totten Road, May 7.
Washington State Patrol, Poulsbo Police, Suquamish Police and the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene—approximately 1.5 miles south of Poulsbo—shortly after 6:30 a.m. The cyclist, a 63-year-old Bainbridge Island woman, was transported by the Poulsbo Fire Department to the Bainbridge Island Fire Department where she was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Troopers with the Washington State Patrol are investigating.
Initial reports from the Washington State Patrol state that both the cyclist and the bus were traveling northbound on Highway 305. The cyclist attempted to turn left, crossing traffic, onto Lemolo Shore Drive and collided with the side of the bus as it passed her.
The bus had no passengers on board at the time of the accident. The bus driver, a 52-year-old Bremerton man, was not injured. The bus was driven from the scene.

LAST autumn, as Paul Martin prepared to replace Jean Chrétien as Canada's prime minister, the divided right-wing parties were gloomily contemplating a second decade in opposition. So much has the political climate changed that the hurried merger of the Progressive Conservatives (PC) and the Canadian Alliance into a single Conservative Party has created a credible alternative to the Liberals.
The turnaround is partly due to the bursting of a sleaze scandal from the Chrétien era, concerning a publicity campaign against separatism in Quebec which degenerated into a slush fund. That has damaged the Liberals. But it is also because the Conservatives' tricky merger went surprisingly well, thanks mainly to the negotiating skill of Stephen Harper, the Alliance leader. Despite his party's ties to social and fiscal conservatism, he persuaded Peter Mackay, the more centrist PC leader, that merger offered each their only hope of power. Mr Harper now stands a good chance of defeating two rivals to become leader of the merged party in a grassroots vote on March 20th.
Though he grew up in Ontario, Mr Harper's base is in Alberta and the west. But he claims his role in the merger shows that he is a bridge-builder; he hints that he would offer the deputy-leader's job to Mr Mackay, who is from Nova Scotia. An economist who speaks fluent French, Mr Harper has tempered his past support for small government and a reduction in official bi-lingualism. Though 20 years younger than Mr Martin, he already has much parliamentary experience.
All of that gives him the edge over Tony Clement, who as Ontario's health minister dealt capably with last year's outbreak of the SARS respiratory disease in Toronto. The third candidate, Belinda Stronach, is an elegant political oddity. The chief executive of a car-parts firm, she makes a virtue of being a campaign novice. Her photogenic features have embellished the front pages for weeks. She stands slightly to the left of the other two on social policy, while promising to spend heavily on the armed forces. She has spent some of her fortune on signing up new party members in Quebec, a province that controls a quarter of the convention votes.
Whoever wins, the Conservatives will focus on ethical government and an assault on Liberal sleaze. All three leadership contenders also agree on the need for an elected Senate and some private health provision, and that the emotive subject of legalising same-sex marriages should be put to a parliamentary vote.
This spirit of unity means that the new party should come out of the convention having lost only a few "Red Tory" MPs such as Joe Clark, a former prime minister, while having gained 110,000 new members—and public support. The latest poll shows the Conservatives at 26%; the Liberals, at 38%, have slid ten points from their January peak.
That is worrying for Mr Martin. He had hoped to call an early election in May, partly to catch the newly-merged Conservatives before their policies were settled. Those plans have gone awry. On current polls, the Liberals would be reduced to a minority government. Never quick to take decisions, Mr Martin has called a by-election in Ottawa Centre, a difficult seat, for the distant date of November 29th. That suggests he might also postpone a general election until the autumn, giving time for the polls to change. Mr Harper, if it is he, has an opportunity.

The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) will finalise its candidates for the Lok Sabha elections at its State secretariat meeting to be held on Monday.
Discussions at different levels have already begun within the party ahead of finalising the candidates.
IUML State general secretary K.P.A. Majeed indicated here on Saturday that the party would not have to change the incumbents in Malappuram and Ponnani.
Mr. Majeed's statement was in the backdrop of the demands raised from some corners for a young candidate in place of IUML national president E. Ahamed.
Sources close to Mr. Ahamed told The Hindu that he was willing to contest Malappuram one more time. Mr. Majeed said there was no question of replacing Mr. Ahamed unless he did not want to step down on his own.

The Air India flight for ferrying the first batch of Haj travellers from Delhi to Jeddah was delayed by over two hours on Tuesday morning because of some confusion between the Hajis and the Haj Committee members.
Flight KNE 8002 with 248 pilgrims on board was scheduled to depart at 10-20 a.m. but took off only around 12-30 p.m. because of some confusion in the security hold area of the Haj Terminal between the Haj passengers and the Haj Committee members about the Saudi currency, said an airline official.
However, Shakeel Saifi, a member of the Delhi State Haj Committee, claimed that the Air India flight was delayed as it was waiting for three Haj pilgrims who had not obtained their swine flu certificate in time this morning.
Akhlaquddin, a volunteer from a welfare society who was helping the passengers at the Haj Terminal, said: "The Haj Committee gives some money to the passengers for their expenditure during the pilgrimage. Instead of 2,100 riyal that they get every year, the pilgrims got only 1,600 riyal today. That upset the passengers who got into an argument with the Haj Committee members."
The airline also attributed the delay in departure to "commotion in the security hold area between Hajis and Haj Committee members regarding currency".
Mr. Saifi admitted that instead of 2,100 riyal, 1,650 riyal each were given to the passengers this time round, taking into consideration the increase in the ticket fare by Rs.4,000. But he categorically denied that there was any argument between the committee and the passengers because of this decision.
Meanwhile, Air India maintained that it had increased the ticket fare from Rs.12,000 to Rs.16,000 "much in advance" and that it was not an overnight decision as claimed by some passengers.

Jane Anne McDonald (born 4 April 1963 in Wakefield[2][3][4]) is an English singer, actress, media personality and broadcaster, who rose to fame in 1998 after her appearance on the BBC show The Cruise.[5][6] Known for her strong Yorkshire accent, she has since co-presented a number of daytime shows, including Loose Women between 2004 and 2014 and ITV programme Star Treatment in 2013.
McDonald toured many clubs in Northern England, with her father acting as her roadie. She provided all of her own equipment, which she had to replace after it was destroyed in a large bar-fight. McDonald's first position on a cruise ship was on the Black Prince, and following that, the Horizon. After her father's death, she returned to sea and began working on the Zenith. Later she was to work on the Century, where she met Henrik Brixen who was the ship's plumber. Her time on the Century was not a happy one, due to pay delays, technical difficulties, and stressful working conditions. After this she took some time off with Henrik, but was eventually tempted back to sea as a headliner on the Century's sister-ship, the Galaxy. Shortly after accepting the position, McDonald was contacted by Chris Terrill of the BBC, who asked her to be the star of his docusoap, The Cruise. The Cruise was watched regularly by 14 million viewers, and after years of hard work, she became a celebrity overnight. Her wedding to Henrik Brixen in 1998 was televised by the BBC and watched by a large audience, although the couple have since divorced.
After signing a major-label recording contract, McDonald began to carve out a mainstream showbiz career, first as a guest presenter on BBC's National Lottery and subsequently with her debut album Jane McDonald, which spent three weeks at Number 1 in the UK Albums Chart.[7]
In 2000, McDonald released her autobiography Follow Your Dreams published by Harper Collins.
In November 2006 she began a UK tour, which featured a number of special guests including the massed voices of Sing Live UK. The tour ended on 2 November 2006. In 2007, McDonald commissioned Yorkshire fashion designer and haute couture dressmaker, Kaye Heeley, of Angel Couture,[8] to help with the Jane McDonald Collection.
McDonald toured in 2008 beginning in Blackpool on 1 August of that year to showcase new songs from her Number 7 (UK Albums chart) album, Jane. This album was her first using her own record label.
On 9 May 2010, McDonald embarked on a 'one night only' performance at the world famous London Palladium, which was to be filmed for DVD. Among the public in the audience were Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page, Emmerdale's James Thornton, plus Loose Women stars Kate Thornton, Lynda Bellingham, Lesley Garrett and Andrea McLean. Also there on the night were Bananarama, three of the Four Poofs and a Piano from Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and stars of Through the Keyhole, Jonathan Morris and Roland Rivron. McDonald's family were also there to support her including her mother Jean, and her fiancée Eddie Rothe. Rothe had been a member of the '60s group the Searchers from 1996–2010, he retired to spend time with her. He, also in the '70s, was a member of Liquid Gold and appeared Les Gray's band Mud.
McDonald released a cover of Liquid Gold's 1980 No. 2 hit, "Dance Yourself Dizzy", on iTunes on Sunday 22 August 2010 and it then became available from other sites such as Yahoo from 5 September 2010.
Her 2011 UK tour began with a preview night at Potters Leisure Resort in Great Yarmouth on 3 April 2011. Official opening night for the 2011 spring tour took place at the Empire Theatre, Liverpool, and finished in Peterborough on 11 June. McDonald was due to tour Australia and New Zealand in the summer of 2011, however due to her extensive tour of the UK and an hectic schedule, the Australian tour has been postponed until future notice. The UK tour then continued into the autumn, beginning on 1 September in Milton Keynes and finished on 30 October at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton.
Unbeknown to many; Jane's first TV performance, was as a guest dancer on the 1983 Black Lace video for their hit single Superman which was shot at the Casanova's night club in Wakefield, where she worked as VIP lounge manager.
McDonald presented the television programme, Star for a Night, which helped launch the singer Joss Stone and also showed us the first glimpse of 2008's X Factor winner Alexandra Burke.
Since 2004, McDonald has been a regular presenter on the ITV daytime television programme Loose Women, appearing on the show three times a week. It was confirmed on 16 July 2010 that McDonald would depart Loose Women in the summer, taking at least a year's break to concentrate on her music career and to tour Australia and New Zealand. She left at the end of the series on 6 August 2010 and returned on 16 January 2012. She quit the series in January 2014 to focus on her music career.[9]
Since 19 August 2013, McDonald has presented the ITV daytime series Star Treatment, the show, which is made by Shiver Productions, aired for 15 episodes, airing weekdays at 12.30pm.
Guest appearances[edit]

She has also appeared on the reality shows, Have I Been Here Before, All Star Family Fortunes and Drop the Celebrity.
McDonald appeared in a documentary called Return to the Cruise, which celebrated the tenth anniversary of The Cruise finding out how much McDonald enjoyed her fame and success. This was shown over several nights of the week beginning 11 August 2008 on BBC Two.

Since 10 January 2011, McDonald has narrated all three series of the Channel 4 reality show Celebrity 5 Go to.... On 14 March 2011, McDonald reviewed the daily newspapers with Kelvin MacKenzie on ITV's This Morning. On 5 July 2011, McDonald appeared as a competitor on ITV's Ten Mile Menu. The show challenged two teams to cook a three-course meal using only local produce from a ten-mile radius. Each team was made up of a professional chef and a celebrity guest. McDonald's partner was renowned chef Jun Tanaka. McDonald and Tanaka went on to win the programme by out cooking actress Terri Dwyer and professional chef Aldo Zilli.
On 16 October 2011, McDonald telephoned into ITV's The Xtra Factor from a live concert in Bridlington to stick up for contestant Samantha Brookes after a cruise-ship slur to contestant Samantha Brookes by judge Gary Barlow. On 27 October 2011, a newspaper article evolving around McDonald was the "Subject Of Conversation" on that morning's episode of The Wright Stuff. McDonald phoned in after several members of the public to express her opinion about the article.
On 25 November 2011, McDonald was invited to perform at the David Foster and friends concert at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
McDonald appeared in the Wicked Women concert and sang "This Is the Moment" from the Broadway musical Jekyll and Hyde. In 2002, McDonald played the part of the Nurse in a run of Romeo and Juliet - The Musical at the Piccadilly Theatre in London's glittering West End. She has also performed in productions in Kirkby Lonsdale and Basingstoke.
On 22 June 2012, it was announced that McDonald was to star in the 2012 tour of the West-End musical Daddy Cool as Ma Baker. The tour was cancelled due to insufficient funds.
On 22 February 2012, McDonald hosted a Black Tie charity gala event at the Theatre Royal in Wakefield. The event was a sell out with fans coming from as far as Dunfermline and Aberdeen to the north and as far as Cornwall, Bristol, Bournemouth and Essex in the south. The evening was a huge success and raised £33,800 for the Wakefield Hospice.
On 13 November 2011, McDonald co-hosted the Paul O'Grady Show on BBC Radio 2 for a live "Music Juke Box" as part of 2011's Children In Need charity event.

Released: Apr 22nd, 2008
Running Time: 112 Min.
Directors: Anastasia Pierce, Liam Pierce
Company: Hustler Video
Marco Banderas, Christian (I), Shannon Kelly, Anastasia Pierce, Roxy DeVille, Ariel X., Evan Stone, Adrianna Nicole
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: BDSM
Taboo Taking Control is a mindfuck as well as a physical one, with each scene featuring power exchange extraordinaire.
Ariel X and Anastasia Pierce absolutely sizzle in their scene. Ariel looks particularly hot chained to a wall in latex, mouth spread wide open and waiting.
Also really good here is Roxy DeVille, who gives Christian a shave before giving him a rubber-gloved handie, complete with anal probing. It's hot as hell to watch her get all worked up, and work him up at the same time.
Through and through, Taboo Taking Control is amazingly fucking hot.
Retailing: Super hot power exchange makes this title a winner.

When you first meet me, I am totally shy, but I will open up to you and be LOUD. Just kidding. Just wait and see! I like fishing.. no I love fishing, I love country music, R&B, pop as well. I'm not outdoorsy, but I can try to go on hikes and outdoorsy stuff. I'm a Giants, 49ers and Warriors fan, love going to their games, but I don't mind watching it on TV either. I have to admit, I can't cook.. but I am slowly learning.. I make a good breakfast though! Hopefully whoever you are, we can be friends and then something more. ^_^

Four Things You Didn't Know About God and Same-Sex Marriage
SOURCE: AP/Steven Senne
Last week, Iowa and Vermont joined Connecticut and Massachusetts to legalize same-sex marriage. Progressive religious voices and civil rights groups worked hard to help achieve these victories, moving us closer to our nation's promise of equality and justice for all. Even so, conservative religious opponents are criticizing the victories, claiming that same-sex marriage violates the biblical definition of marriage. They are wrong, and here's why.
1. There are few biblical verses that address homosexuality at all, and most of those are not directed at homosexuality per se. Opponents of same-sex marriage routinely cite seven verses in the Christian Bible as condemning homosexuality and calling it a sin. But when taken in context, these lessons speak not against homosexuality itself, but rather against rape, child molestation, bestiality, and other practices that hurt others and compromise a person's relationship with God.
2. Jesus never said one word against homosexuality. In all of his teachings, Jesus uplifted actions and attitudes of justice, love, humility, mercy, and compassion. He condemned violence, oppression, cold-heartedness, and social injustice. Never once did Jesus refer to what we call homosexuality as a sin.
3. The Bible never mentions or condemns the concept we call same-sex marriage. Although opponents of same-sex marriage claim that lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender unions violate biblical principles, no verses in the Bible explicitly address gay marriage or committed same-sex relationships.
4. Those who claim a "biblical definition of marriage" as a model for today ignore various marital arrangements in the Bible that would be illegal or condemned today. The Bible is filled with stories of polygamy and husbands taking concubines. In accordance with the culture and laws of the past, women were often treated like property that could be traded or sold into marriage. Today we understand that these examples of marriage reflect the cultural practices of the time rather than a spiritual model for today.

The Gunslinger (I)
He came from the west with a cloud at his feet, Like death on a pale horse as white as a sheet, He stepped off the beast and down into the street, And walked up from the south side of town. His gunslinger's hat had a wide, blackened brim, He wore a black vest cut with red leather trim, He stood long and tall, he was handsome and slim, And his dead blue eyes scanned all around. He wore the blank visage of one who'd been hurt, His dusty coat draped from his neck to the dirt, Some mended up bullet holes criss-crossed his shirt, And a cigarette hung from his lips. His icy cold aura could almost be felt, Hell's fires would go out before it would melt, Cartridges filled up the loops on his belt, And the big guns hung high on his hips. He hit the saloon; they knew something was wrong, The jangling music box died in mid song, Surprised by this stranger who didn't belong, Stood in front of him twenty and four. The barroom was rank with tobacco and liquor, They'd seen many draw, but none had been quicker, Out came the guns from the tan dusty slicker, As he stood with his back to the door. Just blood covered walls, where once there were men, He emptied the guns and reloaded again, Now twenty, now sixteen, now thirteen, now ten, Like the angel of death he reached out. Amidst all the dying, the screaming in pain, The barroom was dripping with blood and with brains, And every man touched was another man slain, In the chorus of gunshots and shouts. He stepped from the barroom and holstered his guns, And as he rode off, with his back to the sun, He urged the pale horse to a three-quarters run; To the burning hot desert he stole. And not that it mattered how far he would ride, And not that he cared how many had died, For nothing could fill the great hole inside; Or repair the great tear in his soul. He'd come from a city, far off to the west, He'd once had a tin star pinned up on his vest, As some legends go, he was one of the best They say nobody knew how he fell, He'll ride in and slaughter, then to the next place, With ice in his veins and a mask for a face, He'll kill, he'll destroy, and he'll try to outrace The devil himself into hell. |

Prayer to The Earth
When first the wind blows Turn and bow to the east; With the rising sun bathe, Take its warmth as a feast. When next the wind dies Turn widdershins to the west; Let the dying sun bless, Seeing you at your best. When next the sun dims Turn again, widdershins to the north; Feel earth's pull, Power all feelings forth. When next the rising moon, If in the full; Widdershins to the south, turn again; Cleanse your soul with the tides Take it deep to each vein. When next you dream Sail deep through the night; Mother earth to one side Deep love to the right. Feel Earth's deep rhythm To the pores of your soul Helping you through the night; Keeping you whole. Look forward the birth, Of another day. When first the sun's rays shine, Turn widdershins again, And again. ************* Misused [An office where I once worked, as a shift worker, used to be located alongside the harbour. Ladies, young and old, often thin, cold, possibly drug-users, used to frequent the roads in the area starting as early as 5PM, standing at the pavements or sitting on walls no matter what the weather. Thankfully those roads are now cleared, but probably only to drive these ladies elsewhere.] Misused for pleasure, not hers. On roadside cold she stands, in dress too thin; and haggard looks, too old. Frost-bitten mite, she looks and hopes to save her stolen plight, youth long lost. At cost. Failed waif legal just, forced mature 'afore her time, she's aged and, in this theft of life, caged. Joy only for each moment short, the warmth of body close – or heat of car. Thrown, then, back to street. No change each night, she's used and misused, no one cares despite, poor quality of her wares. Misused for pleasure, not hers. On roadside cold she stands too tired; too thin; too hard and haggard, ever bought and over-sold. *************** Quaking Earth Without a thought the earth did roar; Two plates once bound for an age, or more did slip, and unwound. Distressed, at ocean deep Land once level, released, now sundered. Giants of waves no longer asleep, Delivered ashore, wild steeds, no mere white horses; we blundered. Galloping forth, unbridled, wanton, unchecked All in their path Were wrecked. What once was, now no more. Silence, Force now spent; But at deep it continued, defiant cadence. Until another, rent shook and earth did scream, again. |

Hell yeah, gonna clean my coffee table
Damn, I'll probably straighten up my desk I might even make my bed, a little I probably won't even stop to rest Take it from me, I'm not caffeine free I need a little boost, a little jump-start Give it to me in a little bottle, green Liquid in my belly, palpitations in my heart A couple little sips, with so much power They make my brain sizzle, my neurons They're fried, dredge my brain in flour Thermogenic missiles, twelve to a carton A raging wildebeest on a tight string, seeing The wilderness, through a thin wash of green |
