"If sportsmen and environmentalists worked together, they would be invincible" ~Ted Williams, outdoors writer
Anglers for Clean Water (ACW) is a new project from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Fisheries Program. Our aim is to grow and strengthen the natural partnership between environmentalists and anglers by reaching out each month to established angling clubs across the Chesapeake Bay watershed to inspire, educate, equip, and mobilize them to be advocates for clean water. Find out more.
This slideshow tells the story of the Chesapeake Bay oyster reefs as experienced by English colonists four hundred years ago. Huge reefs that grew up from the bottom, shell built upon shell over thousands of years. These structures placed the oysters high in the water column where dissolved oxygen was plentiful and currents brought plentiful food. Each year we learn more about how to restore these essential elements in the Chesapeake ecosystem. The presentation closes with suggestions for how to get involved in oyster restoration and how to incorporate restoration reefs into your angling season.

Around the Bay, in places like Virginia's Lafayette River and Maryland's Harris Creek, CBF and our partners are working to reestablish critical oyster reefs. A key element of this effort is placing large concrete reef balls, on which baby oyster "spat" are set, into areas designated as oyster sanctuaries.On May 6, 2014, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation organized an expedition to investigate the Somerset Oyster Sanctuary restoration site in Tangier Sound, one of three sites designated by the Maryland General Assembly. What researchers discovered about the value of reef balls for oyster restoration was remarkable.
Capts. Karl Willey and Dan Johannes smiled when they saw the sonar images. After all, they had planted most of those oysters. Their reef hosts a huge variety of critters, including anemones, marine worms, sponges, small crustaceans, and tiny fish. All which attract a variety of predators.

Careful anglers think about the fish they keep and the fish they release. Angling is a recreational activity done for fun and sport. One key to maintaining healthy fish populations is making sure angling is done carefully, legally, and in a way that helps them thrive.
A little TFC (tender fish-handling care) goes a long way toward preserving all species for future anglers. In this Angler's Almanac article, John Page Williams urges, "Let's Be Careful Out There."
One key to careful angling is planning ahead. Before putting a line in the water, decide what you will keep for trophy or dinner. Have all the tools and tackle necessary for properly releasing fish.
Catch-and-release fishing can be an effective way to conserve fish if certain precautions are taken. Check out these tips and tools.

Bush Administration Congress Executive Branch House Parties Public Policy Regulations Senate Taxes
Dennis Kucinich never doubted that millions of Americans had deep concerns about George W. Bush's ever-expanding war on ill-defined foes abroad and on civil liberties at home. But the Congressional Progressive Caucus chair admits he underestimated the depth of the discomfort until February 17, when he delivered a speech to the Southern California Americans for Democratic Action, in which he declared, "Let us pray that our country will stop this war."
Recalling the Congressional vote authorizing the President's response to the September 11 terrorist attacks--a resolution supported by Kucinich and all but one member of Congress, California Democrat Barbara Lee--the Ohioan thundered, "We did not authorize an eye for an eye. Nor did we ask that the blood of innocent people, who perished on September 11, be avenged with the blood of innocent villagers in Afghanistan. We did not authorize the Administration to wage war anytime, anywhere, anyhow it pleases. We did not authorize war without end. We did not authorize a permanent war economy. Yet we are upon the threshold of a permanent war economy."
Kucinich's "Prayer for America" speech was interrupted by repeated standing ovations. But the real measure of the message's resonance came as the text of the speech circulated on the Internet--where a genuine worldwide web of opposition to the Administration's actions led to the posting of Kucinich's words on websites (including www.thenation.com) and dispatched them via e-mail. Within days, Kucinich received 10,000-plus e-mails. Many echoed New Jerseyan Thomas Minet's sentiments: "Since the 'Axis of Evil' State of the Union Address, I have been searching like Diogenes with his lantern for one honest person in Congress who would have the guts to speak out about the attack on Democracy being mounted by the Bush Administration. It has been a frustrating search indeed, and I was just about ready to give up hope when I ran across 'A Prayer for America.' Thank God for this man's courage." Others simply read, "Kucinich for President."
For Kucinich, a former Cleveland mayor who led Democratic opposition to the US bombing of Yugoslavia and proposed establishing a Cabinet-level Department of Peace, speaking out against military adventuring is not new. But he says he's never experienced so immediate and enthusiastic a response. "We can't print out the messages as fast as we are receiving them," he says. "But I've read through a lot of them now, and they touch on the same themes: The Administration's actions are no longer appropriate, and it is time for Congress to start asking questions. The people understand something most of Congress does not: There is nothing unpatriotic about challenging this Administration's policies."
Kucinich was not the first Congressmember to express concern about Bush's plans. Lee cast her cautionary vote in September. In October, responding to reports of civilian casualties in Afghanistan, Representative Jim McDermott criticized the speed with which the Administration had taken military action and the failure of the White House to adequately consult Congress. In December, Kucinich, McDermott and Lee joined five other House Democrats in signing a letter to Bush, written by Representative Tammy Baldwin, which noted, "We are concerned by those in your Administration and among our own ranks in the Congress who appear to be making the case for broad expansion of this military campaign beyond Afghanistan. Without presenting clear and compelling evidence that other nations were involved in the September 11 attacks, it is inappropriate to expand the conflict." Another letter, by Representative Peter DeFazio, called on the White House to comply with the War Powers Resolution before expanding the war. In February Senator Robert Byrd said that Congress should no longer hand the President a "blank check." Senate majority leader Tom Daschle suggested the war "will have failed" without the capture of Osama bin Laden--a statement rebuked by Republicans, who want no measure of success or failure applied to this war.
But Kucinich's speech was a clarion call. "For most people, Kucinich's speech represents the clearest Congressional criticism they have heard about the conduct of the war, and of the Administration's plans to expand it. That's enormously significant," said Midge Miller, who helped launch Senator Eugene McCarthy's antiwar challenge to President Lyndon Johnson in 1967. "Citizens look for Congressional opposition to organize around--they look for leaders to say something. When I read Kucinich's speech, I thought, This could be a turning point."
It has certainly been a turning point for Kucinich. Overwhelmed by invitations to speak, he says his top priority will be to work with Baldwin and others to encourage a broader Congressional debate over international priorities, Pentagon spending and the stifling of dissent. Expect battles in the House Democratic Caucus, where minority leader Dick Gephardt has been more cautious than Daschle about criticizing Bush. But Kucinich thinks more Democrats will begin to echo Senator Byrd's challenge to blank-check military spending in a time of tight budgets. Kucinich plans to encourage grassroots activists to tell members of Congress it is not merely necessary but politically safe to challenge "the Patriot Games, the Mind Games, the War Games of an unelected President and his unelected Vice President."
Kucinich, whose working-class district elected a conservative Republican before him, is confident Democrats from even the most competitive districts can safely join him in questioning the war. "The key," he says, "is to recognize that there is a great deal of unity in America around some basic values: peace and security, protection of the planet, a good quality of life for themselves and for others. When people express their patriotism, they are not saying--as some would suggest--that they no longer believe in these things. There's nothing unpatriotic about asserting human values and defending democratic principles. A lot of Americans are telling me this is the highest form of patriotism."

The Bush Administration is turning into one big rehab center for the Iran/contra schemers of the Reagan/Bush White House. The latest case involves retired Adm. John Poindexter, who's been hired by the Pentagon to head a new agency, the Information Awareness Office. Created after September 11 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, it is developing high-tech systems to provide government officials immediate access to new surveillance and information-analysis systems. Its focus, of course, includes terrorist groups.
Poindexter certainly has extensive experience dealing with terrorists. As Ronald Reagan's National Security Adviser, he was a key mover in the Iran/contra scandal of the 1980s, when the Reagan White House tried to pull off a secret arms-for-hostages deal with the terrorist-supporting regime of Iran. Poindexter also was one of the few Reagan officials who, according to the available evidence, knew that proceeds from the arguably illicit arms sales to Iran were diverted to the Nicaraguan contras. He later testified that he had deliberately withheld information from Reagan on the diversion because "I wanted the President to have some deniability so that he would be protected."
After the arms-for-hostages deal became public in late 1986, Poindexter "repeatedly laid out a false version" in order to distance Reagan from the most questionable weapons transactions, according to Iran/contra independent counsel Lawrence Walsh. Poindexter, with his aide Oliver North, also attempted to shred and destroy records regarding their Iran/contra activities.
Poindexter was tried and convicted of five felonies, including obstructing official inquiries and lying to Congress. He was sentenced to six months in prison. But he walked. In a two-to-one decision in 1991, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overturned Poindexter's convictions on the ground that his trial had been tainted by his immunized Congressional testimony. (North, convicted of three counts, avoided jail for the same reason.) This was escape, not vindication. Since leaving government service, Poindexter, a physicist by training, has been active as a military technology consultant. But the record remains: Poindexter admitted withholding information from his boss, he destroyed government documents and he misled official investigators. Does that sound like someone to entrust with a new government agency?
No problemo for the Bushies. They have happily provided homes to other Iran/contra reprobates. Elliott Abrams, who as Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America in the Reagan years supervised contra policy, pleaded guilty to two charges of withholding information from Congress. Today, the fellow who downplayed reports of military massacres in Central America works for the National Security Council, overseeing human rights and democracy issues. (Abrams was pardoned by Bush I.)
Otto Reich ran a State Department office during the Iran/contra affair that "engaged in prohibited covert propaganda," according to a government inquiry. Now he has Abrams's old job at State. John Negroponte was US Ambassador to Honduras and facilitated a clandestine quid pro quo deal, under which the Reagan Administration sent aid to Honduras in return for Honduran assistance to the contras, at a time when Congress had banned the Administration from assisting the contras. Negroponte's embassy also suppressed information about human rights abuses committed by the Honduran military. Negroponte is currently our UN ambassador.
Perhaps the most significant Iran/contra rehabilitation concerns the President's father: "41" was an Iran/contra ringleader who lied about his role. After the scandal broke, Bush claimed he had not been "in the loop." But according to documents later released, he had attended high-level meetings on the Iran initiative and had participated in the Administration's quid pro quo with Honduras. It was only after Bush I was bounced out of office that his personal diary notes--long sought by investigators--became available. His entry for November 5, 1986 (two days after the Iran initiative was revealed by a Lebanese weekly), reads, "I'm one of the few people that know fully the details.... This is one operation that has been held very, very tight, and I hope it will not leak." That boastful note wins Bush the Elder a top spot in the roster of Iran/contra prevaricators. Yet he went on to become a rather important adviser to a high-ranking member of the present Administration.
There has been one exception to the all-is-forgiven rule at the Bush II White House. In October, Duane Clarridge, a CIA official involved in the scandal who was indicted for lying to Congress, was set to become an assistant in the NSC's counterterrorism office. But then the White House yanked the welcome mat. In speaking to one reporter, a disappointed Clarridge cited Abrams, noting that, unlike Abrams, he had not pleaded guilty. (Clarridge was pardoned by Daddy Bush before his case could be tried.) Poor guy, he does have a point. Why embrace Abrams--and Poindexter, Reich and Negroponte--but not Clarridge? Was secretly mining Nicaragua's harbor, a Clarridge initiative that earned a World Court ruling against the United States, worse than shredding, or lying to Congress, or covering up human rights abuses?
So is there anyone left to be rehabilitated? Oliver North has a good gig at Fox News, where he shares his expert opinions on how to deal with terrorists. (Sell them missiles and bring them a nice cake?) Richard Secord, the wheeling-dealing general-turned-arms-merchant who managed North's secret contra supply operation, may well be seeking business opportunities arising from the war on terrorism. Perhaps retired Gen. John Singlaub could be assigned a mission. Recently, at a conference of conservatives I bumped into Singlaub, who ran the World Anti-Communist League in the 1980s and plotted with North to raise money covertly for the contras from foreign countries. Are you active these days? I asked. "Yes," he said, adding no more. Same sort of stuff as always? "Yes," he replied and shifted his feet. Like what? I asked. He stalked off. The man can still keep a secret--sign him up. By the way, Robert McFarlane, Poindexter's predecessor as National Security Adviser and a co-author of the Iran deal and the contra policy, re-emerged in October as an adviser to an anti-Taliban Afghan fighter who was ambushed and killed during a botched operation. Maybe there's a spot available for him. When it comes to personnel, Iran/contra is no stigma for the Bush clan. In most instances, it seems to be a mark of honor.
Secrecy is the guiding philosophy of the Bush Administration.
Questions about Enron's links to the White House and Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force are reassuring. They mean that the nation, after the September 11 attacks, is now confident enough to focus on some of the more traditional threats to our democracy, like the corporate takeover of our political system.
Following the release of the White House energy plan last year, the Government Accounting Office (GAO) demanded the Energy Task Force's records, including any interactions with major Bush campaign donors like Enron's Ken Lay. The Vice President's office refused to release the documents, claiming that Congress was exceeding its oversight authority. One of the oil and gas men whose privacy the White House wants to protect is Cheney himself, who in 1999, as CEO of Halliburton, was a member of the Petroleum Council, an advisory group to the Energy Department. The council issued a report calling for the opening of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and of roadless areas of the West to fossil fuel exploitation, proposals incorporated into the White House plan.
The GAO was preparing to sue for the first time in its eighty-year history when the terrorists struck. It then put its suit on hold so it could focus on "homeland security" and let the White House do the same. With the collapse of Enron and the beginning of Congressional hearings on the largest bankruptcy in US history, that holding pattern appears to be ending.
Still, even as environmental groups backed away from criticizing the President after September 11, the White House continued to push its "free market" environmental agenda. This past October, Interior Secretary Gale Norton had to explain why she'd altered scientific data, in a letter to the Senate, to make it appear that oil operations in the Arctic would not harm hundreds of thousands of migratory caribou, when in fact her own Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) had provided her with data suggesting it would. "We did make a mistake. We will take steps to clarify and correct that," she told reporters in explaining one of the many discrepancies in her letter.
Norton has also concluded that drilling in the Arctic won't violate an international treaty that protects polar bears. The FWS, which has twice issued reports stating that drilling poses a threat to the bears, was directed to "correct these inconsistencies" with Norton's position. Polar bears can live with oil drilling, the FWS now tells us. They'll just look more like panda bears.
Ten years after President Bush Sr. pledged "no net loss of wetlands," George W. has signed off on an Army Corps of Engineers proposal that will make it easier for developers and mining companies to dredge and fill America's vital wetlands through a "general permitting" process that is rarely if ever challenged. Again, Norton failed to forward comments from her FWS to the corps, even though the FWS had written that the proposed policy change would result in "tremendous destruction of aquatic and terrestrial habitat."
Among the beneficiaries of the new engineer corps rules will be mining companies involved in "mountaintop removal" in Appalachia. J. Steven Griles, Norton's deputy, was a longtime mining lobbyist, and Norton herself lobbied for the lead industry.
Over at the EPA Christie Whitman won greenie points when she ordered GE to begin dredging PCBs out of the Hudson River. At the same time, the EPA has begun moving top career people (from the office of wetlands, enforcement, etc.) around the agency in a strange reorganization no one quite understands. "Are they purposely designing this to hamstring EPA for the next twenty years?" wonders a career employee who also complains that enforcement actions (as opposed to industry-friendly out-of-court settlements) are down significantly in the past year.
Under White House and lobbyist pressure, the EPA is also getting ready to relax clean air standards (that, as governor of New Jersey, Whitman supported) requiring old coal-fired power plants to shut down or significantly reduce gaseous emissions that contribute to acid rain and other forms of pollution.
Even Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham's recent Detroit auto show announcement that the government will work with the auto industry to develop pollution-free hydrogen-fuel-cell cars got mixed reactions. That's because he used the announcement to abandon a program aimed at improving existing auto fuel-efficiency standards. As usual, most of these environmental policy decisions are rife with corporate conflicts of interest, but conflicts that in recent months have gotten even less media attention than they normally would.
In her public appearances Whitman now emphasizes the need to protect America's water supply from terrorists (if not arsenic). Norton has been pushing the argument that drilling in ANWR can provide as much oil as we import from Iraq in eighty years (or the oily equivalent of sixteen years of Cheney's diet), and President Bush insists that Arctic drilling will make us "more secure at home." If nothing else, America's new "war on terrorism" is helping the Bush White House in its old war on the environment.

Germany to host 2015 Solheim Cup
Updated: October 29, 2012, 8:53 AM ETAssociated Press
DENHAM, England -- Germany will host the Solheim Cup for the first time after the St. Leon-Rot golf course was awarded the 2015 tournament on Monday.
The club, near Frankfurt, has previously hosted the European Tour's Deutsche Bank SAP Open, where Tiger Woods was a three-time champion. Woods made his European debut at St. Leon-Rot in 1999.
John A. Solheim, the chairman of golf equipment maker PING, said "the Solheim family is thrilled with the selection."

Volvo Car Knowledge Needed
Looking at buying a new to me used car or truch since I sold my truck. Really don't care to much which one I get.
I do have some draw towards the Volvo Station Wagons, my age is showing lol..
I'm a little nervous about getting one though, esp with turbo. I hear the turbo's go out and are very expensive to fix..
So, are my sources right? Should I run from a volvo, esp one with turbo.. How are the $'s on general repairs?
One I'm looking at is a 2002 Volvo V70 Turbo with 86,000 miles on it.. Thanks in advance for any info..

Only experience I have with a volvo is my buddies 03 s80 twin turbo.
In the year he has had it he has had issues with, vac lines, throttle body unit, axle, blinker housing, turbo inlet hoses, turbo oil line, power steering line, and oil around the top of the sparkplugs. Interior would have speaker grill falling off, buttons that are sticking, center console door issues and problems reading codes (attributed to the throttle sensor issue).
Now this could all be due to poor maintenance from the original owner, but its not my car.
Under 70k miles but it was cheap and it has not left him stranded yet.
I have always wanted an 850R wagon.

Volvo after Ford = bad news.
I've been involved in the car repair industry and so I get
to see more stuff than someone who just owns a car.
There are aspects of the design of newer Volvos which are appalling.
For example in some engines the valve cover is the upper cam bearing.
That's done to save money and probably also to make robotic assembly
more practical but it's just not good engine design. I would not want a Volvo
made since Ford became involved even though the R wagon is fun and definitely
quick for a wagon.
If you stated what you actually need the car to do it would be easier to
make a recommendation. But you do seem to want a wagon.
I love wagons. I think it's the most practical car design
ever, and I think it is pathetic that the SUV idiocy has taken
over to the extent it has.
If you have to get a wagon get a Subaru with a manual
transmission. They will do pretty much anything you need a
car to do and they are very reliable as long as you buy carefully.
Some of the 2.5 liter engines had problems with head gaskets so
you need to educate yourself before just going out and buying any
old Subaru. Best to pay a PRO who is very familiar with the make of car
you're interested in to do a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection before buying
ANY used car unless you are truly expert on the car on question. Asking questions on this
forum is NOT an substitute for a professional inspection.
I love German cars but if I had to buy a new wagon it would be a Subaru,
without question.
A newer Volvo ? No way. Now, the older Volvos ( e.g. 245 wagon ) were
super reliable tanks though they were pretty boring to drive. If all you need is two wheel
drive and you can find a solid 245 Volvo, that IS a car that was built to last and if
you take care of it the thing can be passed down to your children.

Thanks everyone for the replies.. Those were enough to scare me away from a newer Volvo.. I do like the older ones still and have known many to run forever and ever..
I do like the Subaru wagons as well.. Those are actually at the top of the list next to the Volvo wagons.. I must admit I know nothing whatsoever about the Subaru's in terms of longevity and cost of repairs.
I'm really open to my next vehicle. Basically, I'm looking for reliability, affordable repairs, and something that I can fit my wife, youg daughter, and sometimes the dog into. I would also like to be able throw some stuff from lowes in the back from time to time. However, I can work with that a little as I still have a little 4'x8' trailer that I use for little odd's and ends such as towing the Bike.
Also, what year did Ford take involvment within Volvo?
So, I need to be able to tow a little,m albeit very rarely. I would love an extended cab toyota but people are very proud of those with the prices I'm seeing. I'd rather not get something with 200k miles and would also like to stay in the $5k range.. I may be asking a lot but it is what it is.. Oh, and I do not want another V-8 for now.. Trying to get some better mpg's that the Hemi I just got rid of..

I have a 2003 wrx currently with 200K on it, I have had to replace the valve cover gaskets once and the oil fill tube gasket once. The rest, standard oil changes and the rest. I have owned 13, yes 13 different subaru's. Get an older outback or forester and it should treat you right, want more power and a manual, get a wrx wagon.
Repair prices are not bad, independent shops charge about the same as any import repair place. Parts are easy enough to get from the dealer or many smaller retailers, and the fan base/owners are rabid for the brand and have lots of forums for support.

You make for a tempting example of ownership :) I have always liked those as well.. If I do buy one it will be a wagon for sure. If you all can't tell I'm itching for a wagon. Sold the big truck and would like to have a good ol comfy long lasting wagon to replace it with. I'm on the serious look out and its just a matter of finding a non-abused decent priced one out there. Be it the older Volvo or a Subaru, although now I feel a slight lean towards the Subaru.

Ford no longer owns Volvo. They're owned by the Chinese...
My girlfriend owns a 2002 Volvo S60. T5, AWD, auto. It's a low pressure turbo and has no extra maintenance issues to be concerned with.
In general it's been a good car. Coming up on 180k miles it started skipping the 2-3 shift. A shop quoted her $5k for a transmission.
I looked around and found her symptoms, and they were the result of a servo cover failure. $30 part, with a bit of fiddling to get it compressed well enough to get the snap ring in.
Problem solved.
I've owned a couple of BMWs (3 series, perfectly reliable cars), and I've been driving a 2005 Subaru Outback XT (2.5 turbo), which I've bumped up to stage 2. Much higher risk of ingesting a turbo.
The thing hauls serious ass and is a freak in the snow and mud.

I don't want to be negative about any automaker but I am not too found of 4WD because my friend who has a subary legacy wagon had to replace the four tires because one went bad on him, it has something to do with the diameter of the tire and the computer sychronization of the wheels, or something like that, and he also had to replace a radio but somehow he could not use the same wire connector to the new radio and he had to wait for good while to have a COMPLETE wire harness to be sent to the dealer from Japan.
I have not needed a 4WD since I got my drivers license in 1974 it also has to do with no snow or muddy roads where I am.
My two wheel drive car seen to be just perfect for my needs.
Good luck.

I don't really need an all AWD myself. However, if I find a good car for the money I'm not to discouraged by it. Its weird to have to replace all tires if one goes out.. I do not know much about this situation but it sounds like a service station pulled some BS on him. . . As for the radio thing that's odd. I would've just cut off the old factory connection and wired a new radio in myself. We used to do that all the time growing up. That is only if there wasn't a factory plug made that would tie into the cars plug that was a direct fit for the new deck.. Just my .02 ..
Well, back on the hunt today. Seeing some decent deals out there but man alive there are folks in the market with high miles on their cars. I just can't see paying 7G's for a 12 yr. old Sub/Volvo with 250K miles on it.. I found one 97' Subaru Wagon w/ 130,000 miles on it for around 3K.. Thought great- as I read the add it had been sitting for a year and a half and looked like it had taken a beating. Flat tire, paint coming off, old fuel gumming things up??

Mr Canoehead.... " The only issue has been that it eats bulbs - seems like every couple of months, another bulb goes and I have become an expert at replacing them."
you need to get a meter on that soon. I had an '83 242 that had really nice bright lights... then it boiled the battery, and as they say.... the light went on (in my head). there is no over voltage warning on that car & the regulator was shot. long/short... I replaced bulbs left & right.... then the switches. headlight, ignition, etc.... when the car overvolts it also over amps & cooks the contacts in the switches
I learned to drive in a 1961 122... it was later to be my first car (in 1967). over the next 2 decades I owned half a dozen Volvos. the 242 was the last of the line... I bought it new (demo) in 84.

Are you going to maintain it yourself, or will you be bringing it to a shop?
If you're going to maintain it yourself, consider an early 90's RWD Volvo. There is simply not an easier car to maintain than a 740/940, period. Front engine, rear drive, solid rear axle, simple Bosch fuel injection. I own a '93 940 Turbo. We owners lovingly refer to them as Swedish Pickup Trucks.
I have 300K miles on mine. Doesn't burn a drop of oil. It's a magnificent trailering vehicle. I pull a 3000 lb camper with mine. Excellent rust resistance too: a rusted out 940 is unheard of.
I'm not crazy about Volvo's FWD format. I suppose it's no worse than anyone else's -- and probably better than some. But when my 940 needs to be replaced, I'll likely be switching brands. Probably to a Toyota Pickup.

When it was on warranty, the dealer replaced the bulbs for free, but when the warranty expired and I had them replace one tail light bulb, they charged me $27! After that, I went to NAPA and stocked up on $1.49 bulbs. I just replaced another running light bulb this morning - took about 5 mins.

My wife has an 01 S40 which she bought new. It's needed a few things in the last year, but heck it's a 12 year old car. At about 110k it needed ball joints and control arm bushings, also I've cleaned the vvt unit a few times and if the thermostat isn't perfect, it sets off the CEL. We will be replacing it within the next year or so with a V50, so yea, we've been happy with the Volvo ownership.

What is difference between SEP and SAVFL for Linux
Hello All,
I have coulpe of questions on SEP and SAVFL.
1. What is difference between these two?
2. Can we install these as standalone, I mean without need of each other?
3. Where to get installer for these?
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
1 What is difference between these two?
Symantec Endpoint Protection version 11/12 does not support Linux environment. There is no SEP for Linux. There is SAV for Linux (SAVFL) which is included on the SEP disk download
2. Can we install these as standalone, I mean without need of each other?
3. Where to get installer for these?How to obtain the latest release of Symantec AntiVirus for Linux

SAVFL is a standalone installation. SEP is require to manage
Where to get installer for these?
I have checked both of the client setup (AV for Linux and SEP client) is available in file connect.
It's worth noting that "SEP for Linux" is finally coming when SEP 12.1 RU5 ships sometime in the next few months.
Recommend you speak with your Symantec Account Manager, and request access to the current RU5 beta program.

Deeping St Nicholas, near Spalding in Lincolnshire, England is a village on the A16 road between The Deepings and Spalding. Unlike Market Deeping, which is in South Kesteven district, Deeping St Nicholas is in South Holland.
Deeping St Nicholas is also a South Holland civil parish[2][3] which includes the small settlements of Tongue End and Hop Pole, and a number of outlying farms. It has a total population of 1,323.
The village has a 19th-century stone church, the parish church of St Nicholas. The ecclesiastical parish is part of the Elloe West Deanery of the Diocese of Lincoln, and part of a group with St John's, Spalding. The shared incumbent is Rev Peter Garland.[4] The Chapel built in 1867, is still open under the minister, Rev. Ann Bossingham. It is part of the South Lincolnshire Circuit of the Methodist Church
At 7 miles (11.3 km) long, the village has the distinction of being the longest in the United Kingdom[citation needed].
The whole civil parish falls within the drainage area of the Welland and Deepings Internal Drainage Board.[5]
At the Western end of the village is a level crossing for the Lincoln - Peterborough railway line, the site of the former Littleworth railway station. The goods shed there was used for agricultural produce, including transshipment from the narrow gauge potato railway that also crossed the road.
A Primary School opened on 2 January 1877 with a roll of 5 under a Mr Hanley. The current head teacher, Anita Bandey, oversees over 50 children.[6]
In 2008, eight large wind turbines, the blades of which are 42 metres (137.8 ft) in length, have been constructed on land to the north of the settlement, causing protest locally.[citation needed] Proponents of the turbines, however, highlight the environmentally friendly nature of the energy that is generated by the turbines, citing strong winds and relatively small local populations as a reason for their construction.[citation needed]
In the 1086 Domesday Book, the village is written as "Estdeping".[7]
From John Marius Wilson's 1872 Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales:
- DEEPING FEN, a fen and a chapelry in Bourn district, Lincoln. The fen lies on the North Drove and the South Drove drains, between Market-Deeping and Spalding; and comprises upwards of 30, 000 acres. About one-half consists of enclosed commons, included in parishes; and the rest is extra-parochial. The chapelry comprises the extra-parochial part; was constituted in 1846; bears the alternative name of Deeping-St. Nicholas; lies adjacent to North Drove railway station, and 5 miles WSW of Spalding; and has a post office, of the name of Deeping-St. Nicholas, under Spalding. Acres, 16, 290. Real property, £27, 681. Pop., 1, 180. Houses, 184. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Lincoln. Value, £210. Patrons, the Trustees of the late W. Stevenson, Esq. The church was built in 1846.
The Church of St Nicholas was built in 1846, when a new parish was formed to supersede the former chapel of ease of Spalding. The church was built by Charles Kirk, an architect from Sleaford,[8] in Decorated style common in older surrounding churches. The Parish is, in modern times,[clarification needed] again managed from St Johns, Spalding restoring the medieval situation. The village name Deeping St Nicholas appears to date from this same time, explaining why the railway station is called Littleworth.[clarification needed][original research?]
Most employment remains in agriculture. Other businesses are:

No, but there is. However, if I was a 5th grader I would love any follow up books because, that is the type of hummor kids like.
I only got this book to see if I wanted to recommend it to my students. For a quick, fun read for kids its a decent book.

Spiced grilled chicken is a versatile summer recipe. Chicken breasts, thighs and drumsticks are generously coated in ground cumin, cayenne pepper and ground coriander before being charred on the grill. For this recipe, use the freshest spices you can get your hand on. Or better yet, grind them yourself in a mini food processor, coffee grinder, or blender. Spiced grilled chicken can be served with a variety of sides including a fresh green salad, grilled vegetables, rice, or even French fries.
2 ½-3 pounds chicken pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
¼- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Mint sprigs for optional garnish
* Note: Use chicken thighs, drumsticks or breast pieces with skin and bones.
Pat the chicken dry and put it on a plate. Combine the olive oil, onion, coriander, cumin, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Rub the mixture evenly on all sides of the chicken, and inside a whole chicken. Let the chicken stand at room temperature to marinate briefly while you heat the grill; or cover the chicken and marinate it in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
If using a charcoal grill, heat the coals until they're covered with gray ash and have only a hint of red; then move them to the edge of the grill. Preheat a gas grill for indirect heat according to the manufacturer's instructions, then reduce the heat to medium (350 to 375 degrees). For a whole chicken, put a drip pan in the grill's center so it will catch the bird's juices. If the grill grate is adjustable, set it 6 inches above the coals.
Brush off the excess marinade and bits of onion clinging to the chicken. Discard any remaining marinade. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and set it on the grill. Cover and grill, turning the chicken over halfway through its estimated cooking time. (Breasts take about 20 minutes, thighs and drumsticks about 30 to 35 minutes and a whole chicken about 45 to 60 minutes.)
Check for doneness: Whole chickens and dark meat pieces should measure 180 degrees at the thigh's thickest part and breast pieces should be 170 degrees. Or, with a thin skewer, pierce the thigh's thickest part near the bone; the juices running out should be clear, not reddish, and the meat should no longer be pink, but off-white. Breast meat should be off-white at its thickest part. To keep the chicken as succulent as possible, remove it immediately from the grill to a clean platter
Serve the chicken pieces with lemon wedges and mint sprigs. Let a whole chicken stand for 10 minutes before carving.

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 5/5/12
By Christopher DiMarino The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted a lightning bolt when they selected Chris Rainey in the 5th of the 2012 NFL draft. Harnessing that lightning will be an arduous task, but one that will also breed excitement throughout Steeler Nation. How better to forecast his potential as a Steeler then by looking into his past successes. He made his name as a Gator at Florida, and was a centerpiece for their team from 2008 to 2011 and had a couple years of grooming under Urban Meyer, who has produced a multitude of NFL stars. Combine that with the yards he accumulated over his career and Read more [...]

WIGS Premieres GUMDROP Short Film Today
Meet Gumdrop. A 27 year-old, 5' 6'' Bulgarian actress who loves to do "the Charleston," has a gift for vacuuming, is freaked out by drugs and has starred in films with Charlie Chaplin and Fred Astaire. Oh, and she's a robot.
Gumdrop, star of the latest short film (of the same name) premiering today, November 19, on WIGS (www.youtube.com/wigs), the #1 channel for scripted drama on YouTube, provides viewers with a quirky look inside a casting room.

Gumdrop was written and directed by Kerry Conran (writer/director of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow) and co-directed by Stephen Lawes (Creative Director of Red; Real Steel).

This would be so cute for an adult birthday, graduation or retirement party. Use pics of that person growing up, and marking the years gone by. Then they can put them into a memory book or scrapbook, to remember that occasion.

Polamalu, Kemoeatu ruled out for for Sunday
Steelers/NFL Videos
The Steelers will be without strong safety Troy Polamalu and left guard Chris Kemoeatu when they play the Ravens at Heinz Field.
Polamalu (knee) did not practice all week and will miss his sixth consecutive game. Kemoeatu (wrist) will miss his second consecutive game. The two along with cornerback Keenan Lewis (back) have been ruled out of Sunday's 1 p.m. game between the AFC North rivals.
Outside linebacker James Harrison has been listed as questionable against the Ravens.
Harrison, who leads the Steelers with 10 sacks, didn't practice today because of a biceps injury.
The Ravens (8-6) will likely have to beat the Steelers (7-7) without All-Pro safety Ed Reed.
Reed (groin) did not practice again today. He is listed as doubtful for Sunday.

CAPTION CONTEST: Tebow and the 'U'
Here's my entry for the newest caption contest:
Tebow: "Darn, I should've thrown up an "F."
In the backstory to the photo, according to the blog, The Daily Caneshooter, you see again why Tebow is considered such a good person. He takes it all in the good humor it was intended. The story:
"The photo of UM alum Molly Jones flashing "The U" in a photo with Tim Tebow has been making the rounds on the internet at lightning speed and the biggest question is "how did she pull this off?" Because Molly is a good friend, we were able to get the inside story of how the photo happened.
"Molly told us "I mustered up the courage to walk up to him. He was a very nice guy and a great sport about agreeing to snap a photo. My brother counted to 3. '1…. 2….' I threw up the U. BOOM! Tebow turned to me and said, 'Did you just throw up the U?' I smiled and nodded. He said, 'Aw, c'mon,' but was VERY nice about it. He really should have made me delete it."
"As for why she took the chance at pulling off such a ballsy move with the former Gators' star QB, Molly said "I love my alma mater way more than a person should."
"Look, ma, no rings!" -- Jessie Z

I have a Sony 21inch Trinitron which I like (nice for gaming too).
PLUS- seems to be very sharp, accurate, great color
MINUS- two grill lines, one at the top and one at the bottom of the screen. Hard to see but annoys some people. I find it highly annoying trying to get the screen adjusted (you go into the settings and make it more wide and high, to find one side is off the screen, when you adjust that then one corner goes off, you try to re-adjust everything using trapezoid, etc, and no luck. It seems almost impossible to get the screen the full width and height of the glass in a perfect square. I ended up having mine 1/4 inch from the sides and top to get a perfect square. It is also a VERY bright screen, I initially had mine turned all the way down and it was still way too bright, I then used my video card to dim it down a little and it's been fine. I'm dreaming of the day IBM's 300dpi flatpanel is within consumer reach (right now mostly for medical use).

Cuddling! It's often portrayed as something only women are interested in after sex or some kind of chore, but a new study out of the University of Toronto has found that cuddling is really the key to great sex.
After asking 335 people about their sex lives and habits, it was determined that the majority of people in long-term relationships identified post-coital cuddling as being essential to their overall sexual satisfaction and happiness. 138 men were just as likely to be into cuddling as the 198 women who participated in the study.
Of the people who participated in the survey, 84% were either married or living with their sexual partner. Of course, it's possible that these people are predisposed to say that cuddling is essential to their sexual satisfaction and happiness because they clearly are the type of people that value intimacy and stability, which is exactly what post-coital cuddling represents. Meanwhile, those of us who don't care for anything other than banging as many people as possible, of course we're not worried about cuddling because that's valuable time wasted cuddling when it could be better spent finding new people to bang.
So if your sex life has been slightly lacklustre as of late, try spending some time cuddling the one you love! You might find that it's been the missing ingredient all along for great sex.
