#Google Panda, Everything You EVER Wanted To Know [Infographic]
I have been talking about Google and their move to Social Search with their push of Google+. A huge part of their strategy involves Google Panda, so take a look at the Infographic below so you gain a better understanding of the Google Strategy.

Let Your EGO HIT The Floor: #SocialMedia and YOUR HUGE EGO is Not A Good Mix
I wrote a post quite a while ago and one of the responses accused social media peeps of having huge egos and that they were narcissistic. At the time I didn't really agree, nor did I even see any of the behaviors that this person was referring to.
That was then, this is now because I've recently notice a lot of chest beating, inner fighting, people trying to control others and pettiness. This is really a direct polar opposite of what social media is suppose to be about. I believe this is due to a lot of postering, chest beating and the inability to put ones ego aside. #FAIL
Social Media is geared toward engaging, interacting and having open dialogue, NOT about YOU, YOUR EGO, BULLYING and CONTROLLING OTHERS. Handle Your BIZ!
I think there needs to be a lot less EGO and a lot MORE focus on providing quality content for followers, containing ones ego and LESS minding the business of others. Focus on Content, Curation and Clients..Rant over!
On a final note…Let your EGO Hit The Floor…singing that to music below.

It's ALL About Your FOLLOWERS, SO ADD Value To Your #SocialMedia Channels
As Internet Marketing and Social Media peeps we can get caught up in the excitement of the industry and sharing what we know. We can also blab about what we do excessively because this is such a cool new industry and we are really excited about it.
As Social Media people we are excited about all of the new channels that we are signing up for and how many beta's we can be a part of. These are things that social media people talk about among themselves because so many of us travel in packs like wolves :-) and are all inter-connected.
One of the things that we must be congizant of is that our social media friends are just a portion of our followers. So we must remember that although we may be excited about the next hottest social media platform, that may not necessarily be the case for those that follow us that ARE NOT heavily involved with social media. Followers that are clients or potential clients will not gain the same amount of exitement about a new platform as our social media friends.
When considering the content that we provide we must make sure that we provide information of value to all of our followers. This will of course involve being aware of the likes and dislikes of followers based on feedback and insights. So if you are aware of what your followers like make sure you provide content that is of value to them as well as your social media friends.
For instance, although my focus is on providing social media content I realized that there is a huge foodie demographic on my Facebook page . So I make sure I provide content about food that appeals to their foodie senses :-) I am a bit of a foodie so this is really no sacrafice for me at all. So my goal is to provide information about social media AND other information that is of value to them.
One of the things to remember is that your followers know what industry you are in, they know that you love social media so add content that is of value to them because frankly they probably don't want to hear you blahh..blahh..blahhh about social media all the time. I'm sure my followers don't either, so I talk about mobile plan pricing, social good, business start up, food, cool apps and anything else I think would be cool. My goal is to supply information that makes their life easier, saves them money or makes them laugh and overall add values to the channels beyond just social media.
So, Rock on but don't blah..blah…blah..unless it is providing value to your followers….

World Bank President Robert Zoellick. (AP/Carlos Osorio)
SINGAPORE: The World Bank on Friday said the world's oceans were at risk and called for a coalition of governments, NGOs and other groups to protect them, aiming to raise $1.5 billion in five years.
"The world's oceans are in danger," from over-fishing, marine degradation and loss of habitat, World Bank president Robert Zoellick said. "Send out the S-O-S: We need to Save Our Seas."
About 85 percent of ocean fisheries are fully exploited, over-exploited or depleted, including most of the stocks of the top 10 species, he told the World Oceans Summit in Singapore.
"The facts don't lie and the statistics are we are not doing enough, we are not accomplishing enough and the oceans continue to get sick and die," he said.
Zoellick said there were already "considerable resources devoted" to restoring the planet's oceans, but a huge, coordinated global effort was needed.
He proposed several targets for the Global Partnership for Oceans to achieve in the next 10 years, including rebuilding at least half of the world's fish stocks.
Marine protected areas should be more than doubled, he said, noting that less than two percent of the ocean's surface is protected compared to around 12 percent of land.
On the economic side alone the implications are enormous if little is done, he told the gathering.
In developing countries, one billion people depend on fish and seafood for their primary source of protein and over half a billion rely on fishing as a means of livelihood, Zoellick said.
For developing countries, including many island and coastal nations, fish represent the single most traded food product, and for many Pacific Island states fish make up 80 percent of total exports.
Zoellick described the initiative as a "new approach" and said the coalition "will bring together countries, scientific centers, NGOs, international organizations, foundations and the private sector to pool knowledge, experience, expertise, and investment around a set of agreed upon goals."
He added: "To make our oceans healthy and productive again, we need greater cooperative action and integrated action around the globe, so that our efforts add up to more than the sum of their parts."
As a starting point, the partnership is committing to raise at least $300 million in "catalytic finance", meaning funds that would be used for technical assistance for key governance reforms, he said.
Another $1.2 billion would be raised "to support healthy and sustainable oceans," he added.
"This would total $1.5 billion in new commitments over five years," he said, adding that the World Bank would convene the first meeting of the partnership in Washington in April.
NGOs already spend about $100 million a year on oceans and the Global Environment Facility has invested as much as $600 million to fund coastal and marine projects.
The World Bank is also investing $1.6 billion in coastal zone management, fisheries, and marine protected areas but "the scale of the challenge is that these singular efforts are simply not enough," he said.
The partnership should also aim to "increase the annual net benefits of fisheries to between $20 billion and $30 billion" from the current net economic loss of about $5 billion a year.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Apple isn't the only stock benefiting from itsblowout second quarter, during which it sold many more iPhones than expected. Shares of companies that make chips or accessories for iPhones also rode the good-news wave.
Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) shares jumped 10% in morning trade Wednesday, after the company said late Tuesday that it nearly doubled its profit last quarter. The most striking data point: Apple handily beat analysts' expectations for iPhones, selling 35.1 million during the first three months of the year.
Several players in the iPhone ecosystem also got a boost on Wednesday, including several semiconductor makers. The smaller companies in that bunch gained the most: Cirrus Logic (CRUS) added more than 9%, Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) was up more than 6% and Triquint (TQNT) rose 5.5%.
Two bigger semiconductor companies also rose solidly: ARM (ARMH) gained 3.6% and Qualcomm (QCOM, Fortune 500) was up 2%.
But Wednesday's action wasn't all about the semiconductors. Shares of Omnivision (OVTI), which makes camera sensors for the iPhone, jumped 6.2%.
Even one company that doesn't make parts for the iPhone is often able to coast on good news from Apple. Zagg (ZAGG), a popular maker of iPhone accessories like cases and screen protectors, added almost 5%.
The next earnings report could be a different story. Apple expects iPhone sales to fall in the current quarter compared with last quarter — though it predicts sales of its iPad tablet will rise.

Reflecting on 2011 this week, so far we have looked at Joplin's devastation and restoration as well as Gabrielle Giffords amazing story of love and strength. Today we remember the horrible tragedy that took place back in March when an 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. Villages, towns, cities, ports, boats and houses were destroyed. Lives were lost and all of Japan was impacted.
Although there was so much destruction something great took place. Several people and organizations stepped up, came together, just to help. Among the organizations was World Vision, Compassion International and Convoy of Hope. These organizations helped create several relief effort needs with fundraising, sending people and supplies. It was amazing to see so many organizations come together to support one tragic cause. We asked you to pray for everyone impacted by this tragic event and you stepped up in a big way.
"'Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord who has compassion on you." --Isaiah 54:12
In 2011 we discovered that every day over 4,000 children are dying of water-related diseases due to unclean drinking water. We took this cause head on with Compassion's Water of Life, a safe water system that protects a child from life-threatening diseases for life. With your help we were able to send out several thousand Water of Life systems. It was a great moment for us in 2011 to see your response to such a great need.
We have shared two more of our highlights of 2011. Share your highlight or your personal moment with us here or on Facebook.
Thank you for making 2011 such a great year, looking forward to what God is doing in 2012.
Looking back on 2011 we remember Gabby Giffords' story, one that begins with destruction from a single gun shot in a Safeway parking lot in Tulsa, AZ. To a story of love and strength born from a difficult journey of rehabilitation. Her husband, Astronaut Mark Kelly, stood by her side consistently pouring out encouragement to lift up his wife and love to carry her through tough trials. In Mark's love for Gabby we see scripture come to life, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her," Ephesians 5:25. God also tells us, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." John 10:10. We have learned that with love we gain strength to overcome difficult situations together.
Absolutely an amazing story as we look back on 2011. What was something that happened in your life in 2011 that has prepared you for this coming new year? Share with us here or on our Facebook Page.
Looking back on 2011, we spent some time reflecting on some of the stories that touched our hearts. On May 22nd, a tornado ripped through the city of Joplin, Missouri, claiming 162 lives and completely leveling the city. In the aftermath of the destruction, K-LOVE artists MercyMe, Mandisa, The Museum and held "Restore Fest," a concert with ticket proceeds benefitting Convoy of Hope and Samaritan's Purse, two organizations assisting in the recovery efforts. It proves that even in the midst of life's hardest trials, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Orange discusses LG Touchscreen Watchphone
21 August 2009 — 10:25 AM
Those who are recycling mobile phones to purchase a device that offers something a little different may be interested in the latest comments from Orange.
Following its announcement earlier this year that it would offer the LG Touchscreen Watchphone as a limited edition option for UK consumers, the network has outlined some of the gadget's features.
Also known as the LG-GD910, the model goes on sale next Thursday and, for £500, buyers can expect access to a 3G+ mobile with a scratch resistant front panel, integrated media player and video calling.
Voice activated command will allow users the full Dick Tracy experience, while a VGA camera and Bluetooth support mean the item is as well equipped as other traditional handsets on the market.
Francois Mahieu, director of devices at Orange UK said: "The device really is highly original and exclusively limited - so you'll be the envy of all your friends if you're fortunate enough to get your hands on one."

Well, the day had arrived, sunrise, and I heard the starter pistol, man, I was out of the freakin blocks like Usain Bolt. Ya see, after much consternation and delay, I was finally departing for Paris. The details and logistics were a little fuzzy, but Monsieur Nix, my traveling companion, riding under the nom de guerre of dljocky, assured me that he not only knew the way, but was also fluent in French. I know a little French myself, but prefer not to use it since fistfights usually are quick to develop. When encountering linguistic difficulties, Ive found it best to start speaking Spanglish, heck, just about everyone knows that language, so if ya dont, it aint my problemo, amigo, whatever. See what I mean.
Figured I better let dljocky know I was leaving, Paris in my sights, and I caught him on the cell.
Got the boat all set, see ya there.
Huh boat?
Yeah, boat, ya know, Paris, gonna meet the captain and load the bike on the boat in 30 minutes.
WTF you talkin about? and the connection was dropped, oh well.
The captain was on time, and I met him in the parking lot, young feller, didnt look too salty, and I said
Wheres the big ass boat you said you had ready to go?
Tied to the pier right over there.
Hows that boat supposed to get me and the bike to Paris, its the size of a freakin dingy.
Paris, like Paris, France?
Is there any other?
How the heck do I know, except you be wastin my time, and thats when dljocky called back, turned out I didnt need the boat after all. At least I got the captain to take a photo. He made a motion like he was going to chuck my camera out into the saltwater, lucky he was mostly just kidding around.
I had the camera zipped into the tank bag when I said You sure that aint a dingy?, kicked it gear, got the heck gone. As for the captain, he must be native Italian, at least he was communicating in Italian sign language. I was watching in the mirrors, paying close attention, now Im multilingual, easy, didnt have to pay for those expensive tutorial CDs either.
All news to me, but instead of heading east, now dljocky has me riding northwest to Paris. Hope it all works out, Id like to try some of them snails, sample the foy grass.

With the route and schedule all topsy-turvy, I was on the road to Paris, Monsieur Nix to follow in a day, camping along the way somewhere, and we were to meet in front of that famous Paris church first thing Friday morning, cant miss it. Say what, had to be a bunch of churches, and that was my final thought as I drifted off to sleep, wondering where dljocky was camped, heavy rain and hail pounding on the roof.
Friday dawned misty after an inch of rain, sun just might break through any minute, and I expected the arrival of a very soggy dljocky in front of the church at 8AM, but no, he was dry and chipper, camped out on the floor of a flea bag motel just up the road instead. He would have used the bed, but his aversion to bugs prevented it. Dljocky was riding a DR650, yeah, I know, he done switched koolaid flavors and didnt change the name.
My first thought was, man, this Paris place is way smaller than I thought, and where the heck are all the Parisians?
Dljocky was admiring the church Gosh darn, Notre Dame de Paris, never thought Id get a chance to see it.
Something wasnt right, the damn sign on the church said Trinity United Methodist Church, and I dont think there are supposed to be any Methodists in Paris, cause I think theyre all still loyal to the old guy with the beanie, ya know, the Pope.
Got to clear this up, and dljocky flagged down this Parisian dude, our first encounter in Paris, and launched into his very best French to no effect, the guy was goofing around like he couldnt make out a single word.
I yelled over something in Spanglish, the goto language, and surprise surprise, the man didnt understand the Span part, but was fluent in the glish part. Ok, now I got it, the guy had to be an American ex-pat living in Paris, although I have to admit that my interest sort of waned when he said he was a Cowboys fan.
After a short conversation in glish, he explained in somewhat terse language where our plans had gone wrong, all the time looking like he would like to exit our company on a dead run, dog in tow. He was a little fidgety when we asked him to take our photo, and thank God for image stabilization, the camera was shaking all over the place, dont know whether he was scared to death or laughing. By that time, he was lookin at us like we were 100% freakin nuts.
I put my helmet back on real quick to conceal my identity, we were near Washington, DC and well within the blame-game boundary, yup, I intended to blame dljocky for this entire Paris fiasco. It was all his fault, I had nuthin to do with it.
Thank goodness we were nothing less than resilient, and although disappointed with Paris, the weather was improving, the bikes were fueled, and we were headed into the mountains, three states included. On the bikes and we were gone down the road, a first taste of gravel only minutes away. Vroooom, vroooom, that was my bike, Monsieur Nixs DR sounded a little more like putt-putt.
Trouble was, we were about to vroooom and putt-putt right off the freakin maps.

Gosh, oh golly . . . I've never been to Paris, France (only a short, rather inebriated port call in Touloun in about 1986 or so . . . .) but them there furrin' street scenes are almost familiar . . . . .

i probably shouldn't let the cat outta the bag, but Monsieur Nix forgot to pack a shirt with one of those little ponies or something embroidered on the pocket, and we missed out on a big damn opportunity. i was good, had a shirt with one of them alligators.

I was all wound up, kinda like the mainspring in one of those old grandpappy clocks, man, we had some roads ahead of us, conditions uncertain, a flat out long way to go and no positive place to stop. It was an example of my flying circus methodology in the realm of routing, a few unplanned Immelmanns, snap roles, and tail slides, acrobatic maneuvers although unchoreographed, optimistic of a safe landing, at least as much as could be guaranteed in these endeavors.
Monsieur Nix was the one thing Id neednt worry about, a very experienced rider, likely unfazed by the 101 different road conditions we would encounter, smart and safe on the moto, important ingredients for back roads travel. We had ridden together before, he knew the protocols, no additional words on the subject were necessary. If there was a guy more anxious to get started on a trip than Monsieur Nix, Id like to meet him. Geeez, between the cartwheels, backflips, hand springs, and such, it looked like an Olympic gymnastics floor exercise. Had to hold him down, or he would have jumped clean out of them riding boots. Calm down there, buddy, we got places to go.
We had to get around Winchester, first on the list, dont want to ride through that city in rush hour, or any city for that matter, and we were speeding west on VA17/50, hoping the popo were into the donuts and wouldnt pay any attention to a blur of HIVIZ. I wanted to cut through to VA7 along the Shenandoah River, so when I saw the turn onto Mt. Carmel coming up, I downshifted a few times, letting the revs build to 9000, then let the return spring snap the throttle bodies closed. The sound was ZZTop on roids, flames like a freakin rocket exhaust and the last little pieces of the cat converter shot out of the pipe and over the road. Man, it was like hitting the zero button on a calibrated instrument, the underpinning of the day, sinuses cleared out, body buzzing, stone freakin deaf might have singed dljocky a little, he was right on my tail. Face it, ya got places to go, heck, might as well sound like ya mean it.
Mt. Carmal is paved, although somewhat narrow, and a good twisty warmup to start, but with loose gravel on the surface from the previous nights rain. Man, it was good to be underway, hearty fall aroma in the air from the hardwood forest. This road takes you past Mountain Lake Campground, commercial, beautiful setting, but so poorly maintained that you could easily mistake it for permanently closed. As dljocky reported, dont bother.
We had be riding parallel to, but out of sight of the Shenandoah, and the turn onto the Frogtown gravel would take us north where we would eventually intersect with the river.
Two signs, and Im positive well like this little section of road, unless the meaning is someones sinister joke, and that does happen too.
Once through the creek bottom to the east, the road climbs the mountain before dropping back into the river valley beyond. The road in the lower section was in good shape, but washed and rutted on the up and down grades.
Feltner, then a turn onto River, and were at the Shenandoah. Id seen the river a day or two earlier and it was low and bony, now up several feet and running muddy and fast. Private camping spots along the river, some well maintained, others not at all. This guy wanted to make sure his candidates signs were safe from Barack Hussein backer vandalism, so he hung them 15 in the air.
This fella had an armed guard behind iron gates hefty enough to be installed at Camp David, so if ya mess with his signs, ya might hear gunfire. We didnt linger, or at least I didnt. When I saw the guy flick the safety, dljocky was still foolin around with the camera. Sorry about the roost.
Obama/Biden signs were a little scarce out here, the whole allotment for Virginia must have been used inside the Beltway. If we had seen one, I might have talked dljocky into getting the shot. Id woulda done it, but damn, dont want to smoke my camera.
Winchester has become a bedroom community in the DC metro area, generally heavy traffic on the east/west roads, so it wasnt surprising to find heavy traffic westbound on VA7, not insane, just annoying. We needed a scoot around the north side, and ran hard to the I81 intersection, a quick salute to all my friends at Starbucks, north on I81 for a few minutes, then off at the VA11/37 exit. Thats my idea of riding the superslab, youre back off the stupid thing before ya kick it into sixth gear.
VA37 takes us to VA522, and northwest, clearing the traffic and sprawl quickly. VA522 to Gainesville, then north on Siler where we would climb up to the north/south mountain ridges, riding a combination of paved and gravel roads. Small creeks cross the road frequently, low water bridges everywhere.
We were into good leaf looking color now, maybe a few days off prime depending on elevation, but still gorgeous riding country. When we rode up on this sign, we would be transitioning back and forth between gravel and pavement for the next 25 miles.
The road followed a small creek, enough leaves still on the trees that the canopy was intact, now we were enveloped in color, pretty cool.
I like to try to capture a frame of these old buildings, dljocky was being patient with some stop and go riding.
Adams to Brush Creek, back on pavement, a little sun, then mist, partly cloudy, you choose, it was all good.
At Packhorse, we climbed up to the ridge on poorly patched pavement, a ragged looking job, and somewhere along here crossed into West Virginia. Many of these roads were still shown as gravel on the maps, the transition to chip and macadam moving forward at a furious pace in some areas.
We were riding a series of roads, mainly CR17, across the ridge with pasture and orchards, ok, there was some redneck hoohaw too. Pick your throne, watch the ballgame.
Down the road there was another junk TV with a coat hanger antenna bent into a very artistic rendition of rabbit ears, shoulda stopped, there had been a pretty literal translation when someone said Pitchers all screwed up, yall need some of them rabbit ears on that thang.
Color across the pasture, you cant just ride on by.
Up on top, middle of nowhere, we found the Troubadour, a combination café, beer joint, dance hall place. There is absolutely nothing else out there for miles in any direction, man, I can only imagine what its like around the place on Friday and Saturday nights. Dljocky wanted to hang around since it was Friday, dance the salsa with wild abandon, but I didnt have all my tactical Kevlar with me no espadrilles either. Mucho disappointment, I could have practiced Spanglish for the second time today, damn, we had to move on down the road.
Dljocky did get a photo out of the deal, now he can at least claim hes been there, cross it off the bucket list.
Off the CR17 series, now onto the CR8 roads, and we transitioned to gravel at Posey Hollow, which runs generally north for miles, the first of dljockys several favorites.
Well graded, and also well used, although we saw just one vehicle, dont get caught on the wrong side of the road.
An old riveted iron bridge at the bottom, straight approach from this side, but a curving downhill lefthander from the other, must be some interesting interactions at this one lane bridge from time to time.
We were on CR8 pavement and needed to make a little time riding down to Berkeley Springs. Dropping into the Potomac River valley, it got a little misty again in spots, the weather remained changeable.
CR8 intersected WV9, and we were riding a direct route back west towards WV522. A pair of old service stations at the top of the last hill on the grade down into Berkeley Springs, long in disuse, still some value in the sign in front of one.
Berkeley Springs always seems to have a crowd of visitors and shoppers, same today, and had that dysfunctional flash mob look, a desperate quest for the sublime artisinal foofoo. We could have come straight up 522 and reached this exact spot in less than 30 minutes. Our route was better, way better.

2002 Volkswagen JettaVisitor, Parkersburg, WV, June 19, 2012 23:32i stumbled onto my jet and was very happy until a few days of driving . the car had 67,000 miles on it but it has many problems, it uses oil ,the speedometer fluctuates so i cant use the cruise controll .the ac fan wont work , the check engine light stays on even if you fix the problem . broken interior plastic, the suspension sqeeks ,and it smells like crayons when it is hot outside .how did this car become so popular ? i now have 84.000 miles on it and am looking to ditch it.
2002 Volkswagen JettaVisitor, Beverly Hills, CA, June 10, 2012 17:52I have a 2002 Jetta 1.8t, it's been chipped since birth, turbo upgrade, way above stock horse, and runs perfict. I guess some get lemons and some don't.
2002 Volkswagen JettaVisitor, Bellingham, WA, May 02, 2012 14:11I have a 6 cylinder wagon with sport suspension/package. At 80K it started making a noise at idle, like a chka-chka-chka-chka fast, not real loud. I mentioned it before an oil change today and the mechanic heard it as well. Said it's the upper chain drive that is slipping and can cause serious engine damage if not fixed. To get to it requires removing the transmission so while they're in there may as replace the clutch, and check the cooling system. Now it's at 90K miles and I feel like I'm driving a ticking time bomb, it's over 2 grand to repair, but I will do it because I'm not up for buying someone else's problem when I've maintained it for ten years.
2002 Volkswagen JettaVisitor, Palmdale, CA, April 14, 2012 13:05Ughhh, where do I begin.. So I bought my used 2002 VW jetta from the Hawthorne dealership for $5000 cash, they told me it ran perfect, nothing was wrong with it, I loved it when I bought it...So that was a month ago, I had my fiance change the oil, and when he looked under the car everything was totally rusted, and there was chunky oil and fluid all dried up all over under the car.. It is an automatic, and all of a sudden when i try to leave to go anywhere, my car wont shift, it stays in first and will not go into second and just rev's the RPM so high, so I have to pull over and let my car warm up for about 10 more minutes, very embarressing, and now they say there is nothing they can do about it, im a single mom and this totally sucks, cause it is so exspensive...
2002 Volkswagen JettaVisitor, Anderson, CA, December 03, 2010 00:31I bought my Jetta used with 125k miles on it . who ever had it never took care of it . it's engine at idle sounds like a old tractor, but runs like a race car , very zippie . the water pump went out , the plastic impeller broke . I found a new water pump with metal impeller at my local NAPA store and Gates makes a timing belt kit . it was using oil when I bought it and I changed it to the10w 30 snythetic blend and my oil use dropped from 1qt in 5k miles to 4 oz in 5 k miles . I am very happy with this car now. I put a few dollars into it but feel it will go for another 125k miles before I retire it . any car is as good as the care and maintence given it .

2002 Volkswagen JettaVisitor, Clinton, NC, May 11, 2010 18:21I have a 2002 VW jetta 1.8T. Have already put in another motor.Now the sorry thing has a leak somewhere.All the antifreeze blowed out of it all over the hood,engine and wherever else it could go. Try to put water in it just to see where the leak is coming from. The water will not stay in the reservoir. It cranks but won't keep water or antifreeze in it long enough to see where the leak is. This car costs too much to keep running. I won't buy another one.
2002 Volkswagen JettaVisitor, Saint Paul, MN, April 08, 2010 02:33Ok i got this 2002 jetta 1.8T and it makes this loud knocking noise when I'm sitting but when i start to drive it stops WTF???

2002 Volkswagen Jettarandyg, Mount Airy, GA, March 14, 2009 05:18just had problems with engine studdering turns out vw doesnt like e3 sparkplugs and the electrical system SUCKSRookie
2002 Volkswagen Jettaray.chad, Caledonia, MI, December 22, 2008 09:00The car burns an excessive amount of oil (a quart every week or two). There are many problems wrong with the electrical system, recently the brakelights turn on by themselves after the car is shut off and it has killed the battery. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR EVER!Rookie
2002 Volkswagen Jettakmccormick, Austin, TX, November 19, 2008 08:11CONS: - Body style with low clearance front bumper is easy to tear off and not easy to repair - Interior hardware is flimsy. Passenger and driver side chairs have both broken in the past. Dashboard knobs have fallen off. - The car has its own smell that has changed over time. Friends have told me my car smells like crayons (especially when it's hot outside), and that it could be due to the disintegration of the tint glue. PROS: - For the most part, the car has been reliable in the areas where it really counts - I like the Monsoon default sound system - It's small and nimble and is easy to park and driveEnthusiast

Welcome to the Pelham City Schools Website! I am thrilled to start my second year in Pelham as your Superintendent. After only a year living in Pelham, it has become very evident to me that the Pelham Community is serious about supporting the boys and girls attending Pelham City Schools. I believe that your support for our educational programs, athletic programs, band, cheerleaders, FFA, and other extra curricula activities and your support and attendance at the Community "Working Work Sessions" have been catalysts for us to implement some of the changes we have made during the previous year. As we go forward, we will continue to improve on existing programs and activities. We will work to be the school system in South West Georgia where parents want to send their children, "The School System of Choice." We will work toward a community slogan where parents will say, "If you are not going to Pelham, you should be."
As your Superintendent, I take great pride in welcoming everyone back to school for the 2014-2015 school year. This year, we have several new staff members that I want the Pelham Community to welcome to our Family including, three new principals. During the summer, our Board Members, Administrators, Teachers, and Staff have been working tirelessly making plans to prepare for the new school year. We are working to fulfill our mission "A Commitment to Educational Excellence Every Day in Every Way." I believe that if our entire community, faculty, staff, and students commit to the mission then we will truly see Pelham City Schools reach its full potential where every student will graduate ready for college or a career. Working together as a family, we can and we will make this year a very special year for all of us!
Everyone should remember that Pelham IS a "Special Place!" Going forward, I will strive to do all I can on behalf of the Pelham City Schools to make Pelham even more special in the eyes of our Community, the Region and the State. Again, our goal is to make Pelham City Schools the School System of "Choice" for this entire area. We will strive toward improving our academic success and continuing to offer a wide array of athletic and extra curricula programs.
The opportunity to be here in Pelham is an honor that my family and I cherish. I can assure you that the education and welfare of your children will always be my priority. I look forward to another great year here in Pelham City Schools. Please use this website to find out more about your schools and upcoming school events.
If ever I can be of assistance, do not hesitate to call upon me. Go Hornets!

Star Tribune reports,Steven James Carroll, 28, of Anoka, was found hanging by a sheet from a metal seam in the frame of his cell window Thursday afternoon, according to Cmdr. Paul Sommer. The area was in lockdown at the time, and jail personnel had been checking on inmates every 15 minutes. Carroll had been checked on and "was fine" at 2:30 p.m., but minutes later was found hanging from the sheet, Sommer said.
According to chanel 5 Eyewitness new Carroll had been in jail since Tuesday on charges including felony domestic assault and second degree burglary. He had also been wanted on a warrant out of Florida.
Sheriff officials said ,he left a suicide note in his pocket. His death is still under investigation.
Harry, 26 who graduated from Britain's prestigious Sandhurst military academy in 2006, was also awarded an Apache Badge on Thursday after completing an eight-month course to fly the helicopter without an instructor, St. James' Palace said according to CNN.
Prince Harry who has been speculated as preparing for a wedding with girlfriend Chelsy Davys will have a new title to his name, and that is captain.
There's speculation that Harry's outfit at the big nuptials will be the gold-brocaded state ceremonial uniform of the army regiment he originally joined when he left Sandhurst military academy. But palace aides will not confirm what the best man will be wearing until the day of the wedding, reports the Daily Beast.
Harry's elder brother Prince William serves in the Royal Air Force as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot off the coast of Wales , according to CNN.
Michele Dufault was a senior majoring in astronomy. She died Thursday night " in what appears to have been a terrible accident involving a piece of equipment,'' school officials said. The school said the accident took place inside chemistry lab machine shop but didn't say what the machine was.
On Tuesday, just weeks from graduating, she toiled late at night inside a machine shop in a chemistry lab, as she had for weeks while working on her senior thesis: investigating the possible use of liquid helium for detecting dark matter particles. Ms. Dufault, 22, was killed when her hair became caught in the lathe, whose rotating axis is used to hold materials like wood or metal being shaped, reports NY Times.
Dufault was active in many areas including working on underwater robotic vehicles at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. She also traveled to Houston as part of a team of undergraduates chosen by NASA to perform a plasma physics experiment in reduced gravity.
"She was simply brilliant. Her mind , her sense of curiosity,her perceptiveness, her sensitivity," Noble and Greenough head of school Robert Henderson said according to Minnesota Daily.

The much talked about duet have been serenading the internet with their single "The Moon and the Sky."
According to The Young, The Black, and the Fabulous, Sade has dropped the first single from The Ultimate Collection disc and it features rapper Jay-Z. We all know Sade doesn't do many duets or collaborations so this really was a big "win" for Roc Nation.
Many people are curious to hear what this Duo will bring to the table, and some have even dubbed it as an awkward Hip- Hop Collaboration.
MTV News reports,Sade and Jay-Z does seem like an awkward pairing, however. While we don't doubt that he's a fan, Jay-Z has never struck us as the smooth jazz/soft rock type of guy.
The song "Moon and the Sky" is set to drop May 3.

Hard Times Cafe , located on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Campus was temporarily closed after a car plowed into its outer wall .
According to Minnesota Daily, a car rammed into the side of the building April 3., shoving the restaurants dishwasher and pluming off the wall by nearly 6 inches.
Hard Times Cafe is usually opened 22 hours a day and closes only two days of the year for cleaning and repairs, so being closed for almost two weeks was a change for the owners as well as patrons.
"Doing all the repairs at once makes the cafe' look new again," co-owner Merle-Smith said.
Now that the renovations are near complete, patrons will be able to frequent the local cafe again.

Many people know Knowles as the father and ex-manager of Beyonce Knowles.The recent split between the father and daughter duo has fans wondering what happened.
In an interview with Knowles Black Enterprise, asks ;As her father and manager, will not having her under your wing be a difficult transition for you?
"Interesting enough, the transition started way before the official announcement. If you're strategic, which we are, you don't make a decision like that before you start dialogue. That dialogue started nine months ago. At the end of the day, I'm Beyonce's father first and her manager second," said Knowles.
NBC Bay Area reports,A statement previously released by Beyoncé said there was no bad blood between Beyoncé and her father, who had been her manager since her Destiny's Child days.
Moving forward, Matthew and Beyonce Knowles have big entertainmentl plans, and although separate by management, they will continue to leave their mark in music history.
Book dealer Ken Sanders examined what was a very antique book for $2 dollars , but had not idea the history behind it.
KPLC reports,"A gentleman walked in and said I've got a really important book here and I'm sitting there rolling my eyes and think, 'yeah, sure you do,'" Sanders said. "Then he opens it up and it's a Nuremberg Chronicles from 1494."
Sanders first guess was that this book is well over 100,000 dollars.
The owner of the book said he does not plan to go for top dollar, and just wants to make it available for the public to see, reports KPLC
The 11 hour budget agreement which took place on Thursday had many people anxious about what is next step for federal programs that are already in debt.
Wall Street Journal reports,Republicans signaled they would support an increase in the debt ceiling--required by law to avoid a government default--only if deep and long-term spending cuts are introduced. Democrats, in contrast, are trying to shift the fight to certain industry subsidies and proposed Republican tax cuts.
Both parties have different outlooks on the current debt concerns but came to a tentative agreement.
According to the Los Angeles Times ,The deal( on Thursday night) was not final, but the two sides have agreed on cuts of $38 billion, up from $34.5 billion being considered a day earlier, the official said, discussing the negotiations on condition of anonymity.
Americans will have to wait for the final results over the next week .

On the morning of March 10th, a burglary at the Five Guys fast food restaurant located in Dinky Town occurred during the morning police shift change.
Apparently, police heard the building alarm sound at 6:30 pm, but when they arrived the building was secure.
Minnesota Daily reports, a lurker slipped into the building while the door was propped open during a morning deliver. When employees came in for work around 7:15 , they noticed money missing from the register.
Dinky town has had its share of car jacking and burglaries in the past. One year ago, a student was stabbed and robbed in the neighborhood.
According to he Star Tribune,a stabbing just a few blocks off campus sent a student to the hospital and added to a string of high-profile attacks in and around the University of Minnesota in recent months.
These reports have caused a continuous concern about police availability and police shift changes that have recently make police less accessible during certain hours.
" I think the problem is that you've got the wily criminal who knows his timing and takes advantage of an opportunity," Said 421's Jim Sander, reports Minnesota Daily.
Moving forward, Five Guys will now be more careful when closing at night.

According to FindLaw,The Department of Public Safety reports that more than 100 people have died in auto accidents so far in 2010 -- exceeding the number of drivers killed last year for the same time period. An estimated 421 people died in all of 2009, when the 100-death mark came in May .
Unfortunatley, teenagers make up the majority of individuals involved in fatal car accidents because of resistance to wearing seat belt.
Drinking and Driving is also another result of fatal accidents in Minnesota . Golden Valley Patch reports that, One in Seven Minnesotas have a DUI.
According to the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety, in 2009 32,756 motorists were arrested for DWI; That averages out to about 90 DWIs issued per day throughout the state of Minnesota. 41 percent of those arrested already had one DWI on their record, reports Goled Valley Patch.
Minnesota Daily Reports,After struggling to find consistency through much of the rain-shortened and road-heavy non-conference slate, Minnesota (9-8) scored nine runs to close the West coast road trip. They followed that up Friday by scoring nine more runs and beating Purdue 9-5.
The Minnesota Gophers definitely showed up in Indianapolis .
According to NBC Sports, Minnesota's coach won a national championship at Kentucky and has 450 career victories, yet no half of basketball he has coached in 18 years could top what his Golden Gophers did to Purdue on Saturday. Minnesota held the No. 6 Boilermakers to the worst first half in Purdue's record books and rolled to a 69-42 victory in the Big Ten tournament semifinals
At one point in the game, Purdue went eleven minutes without scoring, which did not help the outcome of the game.
Starting Point Guard Lewis Jackson went on to say, " We did not have anything in our tanks today, obviously Minnesota did."
Many underage prostitutes in India enter the sex trade industry between the ages of 12 and 15.
A study done by the Government Commission said that two million sex workers in 1997 has risen to 3 million by 2003-2004.
BBC also reports that the study conducted by the NGO interviewed a dramatic 9,500 prostitutes in 31 countries. Of these prostitutes the majority were poor and illiterate.
Over the past seven years, prostitution has even transistioned to the internet .
The Times of India reports that , on Tuesday Police busted a national level online prostitution network.
The police found the pimp who was one of the main players in the internet prostitution scandal and arrested him .
Fortunately, the police were able to rescue a few of the women being held under the pimps control.
"The pimp allowed his customers take the girls out, and asked them to treat the women like their wives," assistant deputy commissioner of suburban police S Jayakumar said. He charged `15,000 for a day. The girls worked for a monthly salary, reports The Times of India.
On Valentines Day, Barahona was found dead covered in chemicals in the back of her fathers pesticide truck on I-95 in West Palm Beach, FL.
Victor Barahona the brother of Nubia , who was also soaked in chemicals in the same truck survived the awful indecent.
msnbc reportsJorge Barahona, dressed in a green suicide watch vest exposing his bare arms, wept as he was led handcuffed into the courtroom. He sat several seats away from his wife, Carmen, who looked composed but frail.
Apparently, there had been accusations of child abuse before the murder occurred according to neighbors of the Barahona's.
A Florida prosecutor told the court she intends to seek the death penalty in a case, reports CNN Justice.
The parents of Barahona have also been hit with eight counts of aggravated child abuse as well as 8 counts of child neglect. Jorge Barahonna is charged with an additional count of mutilation or abuse to the dead body.
According to CNN justice, jail is where both Jorge and Carmen Barahona will be staying, since they were denied bond, awaiting a resolution of their case.
On Wednesday, a bomb threat and a suspicious package was enough to cause French officials to take action and protect the safety of everyone in the tower.
According to sify news ,No explosives were found, and the site in the French capital was reopened to visitors more than two hours after the original warning, said a Paris police official.
The Eiffel tour is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, and millions of people visit every year, but it is not stranger to bomb threats.
The Eiffel Tower was last evacuated on Oct. 10, 2005, due to a bomb threat. Before that, the landmark was last evacuated on July 22, 2003, due to a fire, reports msnbc.
sify news reports that France is currently at the forefront of an international military operation against Moammar Gadhafi's forces in Libya. It has received general, unspecified threats from extremists in the past related to its troops in Afghanistan and a law banning Islamic face veils in public.
The bomb threat is still under investigation, and the Eiffel tower has since been opened back up to the public

I'm feeling a strong pull towards working larger and spending more time on my paintings. The "Daily Painting Movement" has overall been good to me, but I do believe it's time to start moving on. In fact, I'm so excited about some plans for larger paintings that I've been having trouble sleeping!
Here is an aerial view of a still life that I carefully set up on my little blue table. I like all the circles; the circle of the table, the cloth, the lemon and the roundness of the vase. I also like the way the seashell in the distance looks like it's torpedo-ing towards it all, hoping to create some chaos.

About Travelfish.org
Samantha Brown and Stuart McDonald came up with Travelfish.org as they sunned themselves on an eastern Thai beach in 2004. They wanted to use the internet to better provide travel intelligence to independent travellers, to help them find more interesting destinations, to get off the beaten track and to find little-known places to stay. They also wanted to help little-known places to stay find people to host.
What began as a collection of their favourite spots in Thailand has developed over the years into one of the largest independent travel guides dedicated solely to Southeast Asia. Researched and written by a team of writers who live in the region, Travelfish.org today contains independently researched and written coverage to Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. It includes anonymously written reviews by our researchers on over 4,500 places to stay and over 500 destinations in the region.
If we've written about a place on Travelfish.org, we've been there in person. There are no exceptions to this. Not one.
Our team of writers live in the region, research in person and as far as humanly possible, work anonymously. Travelfish.org operates on a strict "no freebie" basis, so what you read on Travelfish.org is our own unvarnished opinion on all things Southeast Asian. There's no outside influence you need to worry about.
Travelfish.org has an active community travel forum where you can ask and answer all manner of Southeast Asia travel questions. Download free PDF travel guides and browse our feature stories and general travel planning advice to get you out and on the road.

Santa Anita pick six pays $244K after Majestic City upsets Big Bear
ARCADIA, Calif. - Breeders' Cup week at Santa Anita began on Thursday with a rich pick six that paid $244,604.
Bettors added $1,901,413 to the pool in pursuit of a carryover of $439,664 from last Sunday.
The winners of Thursday's pick six races were Sinfully ($7.40), Kristo ($3.20), Koast ($8.40), Majestic City ($32.40), Heat du Jour ($18.60) and Bright Town ($18.80). Kristo was the only winning favorite.
The Breeders' Cup races will be held at Santa Anita on Friday and Saturday. Sunday is the closing day of the Santa Anita autumn meeting. If the pick six is not hit on Saturday, the carryover will be forwarded to Sunday's program.
Majestic City won his first stakes since July 2011 in the $77,560 Big Bear Stakes over a mile.
Ridden by Edwin Maldonado, Majestic City led throughout and held off a stubborn threat from Rousing Sermon to win by neck in 1:35.20. Rousing Sermon, the 8-5 favorite, finished a half-length in front of Drill, who was followed by Soi Phet and Rail Trip in the small field. Summer Hit was scratched on Thursday morning.
Owned by Bloom Racing Stable, Majestic City, 4, won two sprint stakes for 2-year-olds in 2011 – the Willard Proctor Memorial Stakes and Grade 3 Hollywood Juvenile Championship in consecutive starts when trained by Peter Miller.
Ron Ellis began training Majestic City at the beginning of the colt's current campaign in May. Majestic City was fifth in the Grade 2 Pat O'Brien Stakes over seven furlongs at Del Mar on Aug. 25 and last of 12 in the Grade 3 Eddie D Stakes on the hillside turf course here on Sept. 27 in his two starts before the Big Bear.
"I've wanted to go a mile," Ellis said.
"The mile is what he wants to do. The middle distance may work for him."
The win in the Big Bear Stakes could lead to a start in the $100,000 Berkeley Handicap over 1 1/16 miles at Golden Gate Fields on Nov. 29, Ellis said.
Looks like they have the track set for speed for the Big Days
I thought that was a brilliant ride by Maldonado - he used the horse's speed to make the front and then he rode the hair off the horse through the lane. Acknowledge a job well done.

"War is the supreme failure of bridging the differences between nations," according to the creator of a social model called "the Venus Project" – American futurist and inventor Jacque Fresco.
Fresco also thinks a resource-based economy is the key factor to preserving world peace.
"Democracy is a con game, it is a word invented to outplay people, to make them accept a given institution. All institutions sing 'we are free'. The minute you hear 'freedom' or 'democracy' – watch out, because in a truly free nation, no one has to tell you that you're free," Fresco said.
He believes "It is not that people are good or bad, they are raised in an aberrant or twisted environment."

(CNN) -- When SpongeBob SquarePants skips onto shelves in boxes of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese next year, he may be a little less, well, yellow than your kids are used to.
Kraft has revamped its character-shaped product line for 2014, according to company spokeswoman Lynne Galia. The new versions will have six additional grams of whole grains, be lower in sodium and saturated fat, and will use spices instead of artificial food dyes to recreate the pasta's famous yellow-orange color.
"Parents have told us that they would like fun Mac & Cheese varieties with the same great taste, but with improved nutrition," Galia said in an e-mail.
The company will remove Yellow No. 5 and Yellow No. 6 from boxes containing pasta shaped like SpongeBob SquarePants and those with Halloween and winter shapes. Two new shapes of the popular pasta -- Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and "How to Train Your Dragon 2" from Dreamworks -- will also be free of food coloring, Galia said.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest hailed Kraft's decision on Friday. Michael Jacobson, the center's executive director, said he is pleased with the announcement but is "puzzled" as to why Kraft would not change its iconic elbow-shaped macaroni product as well.
"As Kraft has today shown, it is clearly possible to make macaroni and cheese without these harmful chemicals," Jacobson said in a statement.
Yellow No. 5 has been linked to hyperactivity, asthma, some skin conditions and cancer, but larger scientific studies have proved inconclusive.
The Food and Drug Administration must approve color additives in the United States; Yellow No. 5 and Yellow No. 6 were approved for use in foods in 1969 and 1986, respectively.
