Truck Shakes during Regen
So after months of arguing with ford about the black tailpipes and smoke under accelleration the hotline begrudgingly let the tech(who is a great guy btw) replace the dpf.
The pipes are now spotless, and instead of regenning every 1500miles or so. It goes into regen about every 400.
Here's the deal. He says he did not reflash the truck. Mine had the current flash as of august when this was all done and the regen message dissapears from the display.
I noticed the other day while stopped that the truck would start shaking at an idle, almost like a miss or something. Didn't think much of it. Now I have figured out that during regen it does this every time I have to stop and it is in a regen process. (you can hit the info button and run a system check and see that it is in regen). It is annoying as hell as it literally rocks the truck back and forth. (right to left). If I am idling through a parking lot the truck literally lurches.
I know you are supposed to keep the speed above 30mph during regen, but that is not a realistic answer as I have no control over the regen process and sometimes it happens when I am in the city.
I love the truck, it is completely stock, if it were not for the fact that I owe more on the damn thing than I do my home, I would say the hell with it and spartan it. But god forbid with my luck something major would go wrong and I'd be stuck with a 20K repair bill and no warranty.
FWIW, I am one of the lucky ones who vented a block on a stock Lightning because ford was too cheap to put decent rods in the truck, like they did the cobra. They argued that I had to be modded. I was not, and told them to pound sand and prove it. We went through arbitration and Ford bought a new block. They put the 4 thread heads on it and it spit a plug so we got to fight about that as well. I don't even want to talk about the **** I went through with my '06 six leaker which is how I ended up in the '09 6.4
My blood is ford blue, but god damn I have bad luck. I wish honda made a 1 ton diesel truck ()
Anyway, anybody have any ideas of what the hell is going on now and any possible suggestions. Tech is a great guy, hotline is stating normal behavior, no codes. I'm just frustrated and looking for some reasonable answers.
Sounds like ford won't honor their warranty get a lawyer.
Nah, I don't need a lawyer yet. Lawyers cost money. I'm just looking for a decent answer. I've already got enough invoices and time in the shop for a lemon law case if I pursue it through the AG's office here. It will end up in arbitration and they will do a buyback. That's what happened with my 6.0
The trouble is what do I go to next? The 6.7 isn't proven. The 6.0 was a POS, they bought one of those back which is how I ended up in this '09.
I'm a reasonable person, I happen to believe the 6.4 to be a decent engine.... it's the ****ing EPA that has created the problems.
I agree with the epa causing issues, I think the main issue is new emissions requirements and new ways of dealing with them. Once the automakers have a few years of figuring out the best way of dealing with them I'm sure the trucks will get better. I like the 6.4 too.

The lake-effect storm that has pummeled Jefferson and Lewis counties for more than 24 hours has raised havoc with transportation.
Numerous roads had to be closed because of motor vehicle accidents, according to DOT Region 7 public information officer Michael R. Flick.
If you dont have to travel, dont, he said. Stay home.
State officials barricaded Interstate 81 from Mexico, in Oswego County, all the way north to Exit 48 Tuesday night.
Troopers are now getting remaining vehicles off I-81, said Trooper David D. Delgado around 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Counties kept no-unnecessary-travel advisories in effect. For residents of the village of West Carthage, the decision whether to travel was out of their hands, as Mayor Scott M. Burto issued a state of emergency, a travel curfew and a parking curfew. During the curfew, which began at 7 p.m. Tuesday, all travel except for essential emergency vehicles and personnel is barred until 6 a.m. today. Parking on village streets also has been prohibited during the same period.
Residents who did venture out Tuesday encountered multiple road closures.
Route 11 northbound in the town of Adams was closed for 2� hours, and reopened at 1:15 p.m. Route 193 in Ellisburg between Hammon Road and Allerd Road was closed for nearly six hours, and reopened shortly after 6 p.m. Mr. Flick said Route 283 southbound between Route 342 and the Watertown city line and Route 12 between Lowville and Watertown remained closed as of Tuesday evening.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo declared a state of emergency for several counties at 8 p.m. Monday in anticipation of the arrival of the worst of the storm, and Interstate 81 from Exit 31, Brewerton, to Exit 45, Watertown at Arsenal Street, was closed then.
State Department of Transportation officials initially called it a soft closing, meaning that exits were not blocked. As a result, some drivers still took to the road throughout the day Tuesday. Trooper Warren R. Johnson with state police in Watertown said some on-ramps were blocked but not all of them.
However, Jefferson County Fire and Emergency Management Director Joseph D. Plummer said the soft closure was not successful in keeping drivers off the road, so the closure was changed to a hard closure, leading to onramps being barricaded in the stretch of highway between Exits 34 and 48.
A multicar accident in the northbound lanes south of Exit 44, Watertown Center, and worsening conditions north of Watertown during the morning Tuesday led DOT to close that section of highway. The Jefferson County Highway Department pulled all of its plows from the roads just after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday because of heavy snow and poor visibility. The plows returned early Tuesday evening.
The towns of Denmark, Rutland and Champion, at minimum, also made the decision to stop plowing until visibility improves.
Its difficult for everyone out there, Jefferson County Highway Superintendent James L. Lawrence Jr. said.
Rutland pulled three of its four plows from the road, town Highway Superintendent Claude E. Phelps said. There was still a plow operating in the afternoon in the Felts Mills area, but all roads from about Rutland Hollow Road to the Lewis County line were sidelined.
Champion Town Highway Superintendent John F. Sech said the decision was made to pull plows at 10 a.m. Tuesday, with little improvement in conditions as of about 2 p.m.
As soon as it lets up, were ready to go, he said.
Travel on any road parallel to I-81 was difficult throughout the day as drivers sought an alternative north-south route. Between heavy snow buildup and intermittent but persistent whiteouts, speeds on Route 11 rarely reached 15 miles an hour, making travel to and from Watertown both tedious and dangerous.
Travel was expected to be difficult and dangerous as long as the storm persists. The National Weather Service lake-effect warning is in effect until 1 p.m. today. People who have appointments scheduled for today or who were planning to go to an event should call ahead to make sure the appointment or event is still scheduled.
Information on the storm is available at: National Weather Service: http://wdt.me/Dzs7pV. Information on road conditions is available at: http://511ny.org/mapview.aspx.

Va. court overturns verdict against state in massacre on Virginia Tech campus
The Virginia Supreme Court has overturned a jury verdict in the wrongful-death suit filed against the state by the families of two students who were killed in the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre.
In a decision released on Thursday, the justices wrote that "there was no duty for the Commonwealth to warn students about the potential for criminal acts" by student-gunman Seung-Hui Cho.
Jurors in Montgomery County Circuit Court ruled last year that the state was negligent in the deaths of Julia Pryde and Erin Peterson, two of the 32 people killed by Cho on the Blacksburg campus. The jury panel awarded the parents of Pryde and Peterson $4 million each, although the amount later was reduced to $100,000 per family.
Harry Pryde, whose daughter Julia was killed in her advanced-hydrology class on the second floor of Norris Hall on April 16, 2007, said Thursday that the families are "deeply saddened that the court was so dismissive of assigning responsibility and was so protective of the commonwealth."
The lawsuit focused on accountability, not money, Pryde said in a telephone interview.
"We still take a good measure of satisfaction that the jury listened to all of the evidence and decided as it did," he said. "We don't feel at all that the Supreme Court can take that away from us."
Brian Gottstein, director of communications for Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II, said the court's ruling affirmed the state's position.
"While words cannot express the tremendous sympathy we have for the families who lost their loved ones in the Virginia Tech shootings of 2007 — including the Prydes and the Petersons — the Virginia Supreme Court has found what we have said all along to be true: The commonwealth and its officials at Virginia Tech were not negligent on April 16, 2007," Gottstein said in a statement. "Cho was the lone person responsible for this tragedy."

Maine Medical Center's parent company, MaineHealth, has partnered with Anthem to offer a new online insurance product as part of the Affordable Care Act. The plan was under scrutiny at a public hearing at the Bureau of Insurance today, because it excludes six hospitals. Officials from those excluded hospitals are crying foul, saying if the proposal is approved, it will force thousands of patients to switch doctors. Patty Wight has more.
Julie Rioux (left) and Brenda Weeks fear they will have to switch doctors under Anthem and MaineHealth's insurance plan.
These new insurance "products," as they're called, are targeted to individuals and small groups - the people who currently either don't have insurance or who pay a lot of money for it. The details of Anthem's proposal, including the cost, are under wraps. But one thing is clear - 32 of Maine's 38 hospitals are accepted providers.
"It's a very broad, it's a very deep, it's a very experienced network that we're affiliating with, and we're very confident that this more than meets the state standards for adequacy," says Chris Dugan of Anthem.
All of MaineHealth's hospitals and affiliates are included, as are Eastern Maine Healthcare's. Central Maine Healthcare's three hospitals are out, as well as Parkview, York, and Mercy Hospitals. Dugan says it's nothing personal - it's about costs.
"In this instance, we have chosen a network for this one particular product that services a very specific group of our members, because we feel it offers the ability to have affordable choices for some of these new plans that are coming out," he says.
It's called a narrow provider network, where insurance companies strike a deal with select hospitals who agree to lower their payments in anticipation of gaining new patients. But Central Maine Healthcare spokesman Chuck Gill says there's more to Anthem's narrow network than affordability.
"Every hospital from Waterville north is in it. Only when you get south of Waterville do you start having this narrowness occur," Gill says, "and it just happens to be those hospitals that have opposed MaineHealth in the past."
Gill says Central Maine Health has over 300 primary care physicans who serve 18 communities. But under Anthem's plan, he says thousands of patients will be forced to switch doctors.
"We're having a hearing today for two reasons: a grab for marketshare by MaineHealth; and some type of discounting that Anthem thinks they've achieved," Gill says. "What they've achieved is a lot of anger on the part of everyday Mainers."
"They're about to turn my world upside down by what they're doing," says Brenda Weeks. Weeks has had an Anthem insurance policy for 29 years. She has multiple sclerosis, and has always received care from Central Maine Healthcare.
"I've worked for 20-plus years since the onset of the chronic illness to get a healthcare team to best meet my needs, and I am where I am today because of the care that I receive," Weeks says.
Julie Rioux from Minot has a small group Anthem plan through her husband's employer. She says she's worried, not only about losing a trusted family doctor, but about logistics. "I don't want to have to travel - I don't want to travel to Portland with a sick child," Rioux says.
Chris Dugan from Anthem says customers like Rioux will only have to switch if her husband's employer decides to purchase a plan on the exchange. As for customers like Brenda Weeks, Dugan says Anthem will grandfather individual plans purchased before March 23, 2010. That accounts for 50 percent of the 18,000 current customers with individual plans.
Weeks says she appreciates the gesture, but isn't convinced it will last. "I don't have trust that they would just continue on their merry way and say, 'You're grandfathered, you're fine, nothing's ever going to change.'"
At the hearing, Anthem officials repeatedly emphasized that they are merely presenting customers with a choice, and that in this network, the maximum distance between a patient and primary care provider is 30 minutes. For a specialist, it's 60 minutes.
Now it's up to the Bureau of Insurance to decide whether that's adequate for the Maine insurance marketplace.

The Crime Writer's Cat
By Rhys Bowen
Caroline had never thought of herself as a cat person, but when the large gray tabby appeared on her doorstep, looking miserable and bedraggled during a storm, it seemed only natural to take it in, dry it off, and offer it a saucer of milk. Once its coat had dried, the cat was revealed as an attractive beast with long, silky fur and the most interesting green eyes that regarded her with almost human intelligence. It appeared not the least bit shy or aggressive and allowed her to stroke it before settling on the rug in front of the fire.
As she watched the cat resting peacefully, she decided that it was exactly what she needed to complete her image. She was, after all, a crime writer. Crime writers were supposed to have cats. And she realized with a little thrill of pleasure that the timing could not have been better. The reporter from People Magazine was coming with photographer to do an interview with her at the end of the week. What better than a picture of the writer at her desk, her cat at her feet, or maybe even curled on a pillow beside her computer? Women readers would certainly go for that, she knew.
"What am I to call you?" she asked.
The cat turned to her, lifting its large gray head and regarding her with its green eyes. The look was so withering that all thoughts of cute names were banished straight from her mind.
"Caroline McKenzie and cat," she said and came to a decision. "I'll call you Cat for now, or maybe Kat with a K, to make it different."
The cat sighed, and lay down again. Caroline practiced a gracious smile. "Yes, I live alone here. Just me and my cat. A lonely life but rewarding. She could see the article now. She could picture women rushing out in droves to buy her new book. People Magazine no less. Success at last.
She grabbed a tablet and started jotting down witty answers to all possible questions. Of course I owe it all to Olivia. She was the one person who believed in me, who saw my potential. Dear Olivia. How I miss her. Her passing has left a gaping hole in the middle of my heart… no, too graphic an image. Has left a gnawing emptiness in my heart. A gaping emptiness? A gnawing something or other?
She put it aside. There was still plenty of time to work on it. Outside the storm swept in from the ocean, peppering the windows with rain and howling around the chimneys. It was the first time she had fully appreciated how isolated the house was. The storm suddenly felt menacing and she decided to go to bed. Snuggled under the covers she'd surely feel safe—well, safer. She looked down and was surprised to find Kat was no longer on the hearth rug.
When she went upstairs she was even more surprised to find it blissfully asleep on her own pillows. She removed it and found a spare quilt to make a bed on the floor beside her. Kat allowed itself to be repositioned without comment, but as soon as she climbed into bed and turned out the light, it jumped back onto the bed and settled against the small of her back. Its warmth and presence were so comforting with the storm still howling outside that she allowed it to stay.
The reporter from People Magazine came on Thursday afternoon. The weather was still blustery and unsettled and as she got out of her car a great gust of wind snatched at the large purse she was carrying and sent her flying toward Caroline, standing at the front door ready to receive her.
"Goodness, what a day," she said breathlessly. She was middle-aged, with a pleasant, almost scholarly-looking round face and not at all what Caroline had expected. She had equated People Magazine with glamour and hip. "I'm Terri Furness. I take it you're expecting me." The woman extended a large hand.
"Indeed I am," Caroline said. "Come on in. Beastly weather, isn't it? I've made coffee but I can easily do tea instead."
"Coffee would be lovely, thank you," Terri replied and shook off her overcoat. "I hadn't realized how remote you are here. It must feel quite lonely at times."
"Oh, it would be, if I didn't have my cat," Caroline replied, smiling fondly at the gray tabby who had made an entrance exactly on cue.
"Isn't she adorable," the woman said and Caroline realized that she had never considered whether the cat was male or female. "What's her name?"
"Kat with a K," Caroline said as the animal went over to rub itself against Terri's leg.
"Kat with a K!" Terri smiled. "I love it. You writers are so creative." She followed Caroline and the coffee cups into the living room. A fire was burning brightly in the grate and the room looked warm and inviting. "Delightful room," she said, still smiling. "Is this where you work, or do you have an office?"
"I have an office upstairs," Caroline said. "Would you like to see it?" She led Terri up the staircase to an attic room, lined floor to ceiling with books. A desk looked out over the ocean. "Perfect," the woman said. "Just how I imagined it. Tell me, did Olivia Whiting also work here, at this desk?"
"Yes, she did," Caroline said. "It seemed only fitting that I should follow in her footsteps, as it were. Keeping her memory alive."
She started as the cat leaped up onto the desk, scattering papers. "Get down, you awful creature." She laughed as she lifted it to the ground. "Obviously wants to be the center of attention today. She probably thinks you've come to interview her, not me."
They turned to go downstairs again. "Watch your step, please," she said. "As you notice the stairs are rather steep and narrow, like a lot of these old New England houses. I wouldn't want another accident."
Terri paused at the top step and looked back at Caroline. "Oh dear. So this was where…"
Caroline nodded. "I found her," she said. "I'd been out in the garden. I came in and there she was. I'll never get that scene from my mind."
They took the stairs slowly and cautiously, one hand on the banister, one on the wall, then went back into the living room. The cat trotted ahead and immediately settled itself on the rug. Terri took out a notebook and pen from the large purse. "I'm still the old fashioned type. Never could get used to recorders. Not much use with computers either."
Caroline nodded with understanding as Terri took the cap off the pen. "Olivia had on ongoing feud with computers as well. She used to sit and shout at the screen sometimes."
"You must miss Olivia terribly," she said.
"Oh I do. Every day. It's like a gnawing emptiness where my heart should be."
Terri scribbled down the words. "So tell me how you first met."
"At a writer's conference—where else?" Caroline laughed again. "Olivia was on the faculty. I was a hopeful, unpublished writer. Olivia was assigned to give my manuscript a critique. She was so kind and insightful and we established a connection right there and then."
"And did the manuscript sell?"
"It didn't, but of course I now know why. We writers all have those first pitiful attempts shut away in a drawer somewhere, don't we?"
"So you kept in touch with Miss Whiting?"
"We kept up an email correspondence. Then she had her fall and I volunteered to come here to look after her."
"That was kind of you." There was a hint of what could have been sarcasm in the words and Caroline looked up at the other woman's face. But it seemed as serene and pleasant as ever.
"Not at all," she said. "I needed a part time job. I loved the area and what could be more delightful than to spend my days taking care of my mentor?" She made it sound so natural when in fact it had been so perfectly orchestrated: reading about the fall in the newspaper, joining the home care agency and appearing on Olivia's doorstep with new hair color and new name. "By the time Olivia recovered, she had grown so used to having a companion and secretary that she asked me to stay on, and of course I was overjoyed to comply. It was a wonderful relationship, something I'll treasure for the rest of my days."
"Her death was definitely ruled to be an accident, was it?" the woman asked suddenly.
Caroline's coffee cup rattled on its saucer. "What do you mean by that?" she demanded.
"The first fall, I meant," Terri said serenely. "The time she broke her hip. Was it judged to be an unfortunate accident or was there already an undiagnosed medical problem even then?"
"Ah." Caroline paused to regroup. "Yes, I'm afraid she had dangerously low blood pressure. She was supposed to rise slowly from sitting or lying or she became dizzy and passed out. But Olivia wasn't the type who did anything slowly, I'm afraid. She would jump up from her desk and go rushing downstairs when she saw the mailman coming. She was like a little child about getting mail. She must have blacked out on both occasions, and unfortunately the second time it wasn't just her hip." She turned away, her hand to her mouth. "You must excuse me. It's still painful to talk about it. I feel responsible, you see. I was there to take care of her. I can't shake off the feeling that I should have done something."
Terri nodded sympathetically, then reached out to stroke the cat as it got up from the rug and came to rub against her. "Was the cat originally Olivia's?"
"No, it arrived quite recently. Showed up one night in a storm, poor thing. I hadn't the heart to turn her away and I must say I now welcome the companionship, although, as you know, cats can be willful."
"Oh yes," Terri said. She sipped her coffee in silence until Caroline said, "I presume you came here to talk about me, not my cat or Olivia."
"Yes, of course." Terri smiled. "But I always like to make my victims relax first before we get down to the nitty gritty."
"I don't think there's much nitty gritty to get down to in my case," Caroline said. "My story is quite straightforward. In fact I've led a horribly boring life. I'd be quite delighted if you'd spice it up for your readers. Invent me parents who abandoned me in the arctic, or a mafia connection by all means."
Terri chuckled. "I think our readers will be quite taken with your Cinderella story. So your first real success, Tower of Storms, was actually Olivia's book, was it?"
Caroline nodded. "The first half, anyway. Olivia died, leaving a half-finished manuscript. We had discussed how the story should end many times. She liked to use me as a sounding board, you see. So it suddenly came to me that I should finish it for her—as a tribute. I got her editor's blessing and wrote the second half. It came to me easily, as a matter of fact, because I knew Olivia's thought process pretty well by this time. I sent it off, the editor was delighted, and, as you know, it became an enormous best seller."
"Was that actually your first book?"
"My first published work. That's not the same thing for most writers, myself included. One learns ones craft through rejections. I also learned mine by living with Olivia."
"And you've written two books since?"
"I have. On the basis of Tower of Storms, Olivia's old editor gave me a very handsome contract, and I didn't let her down. Both the books have sold phenomenally well."
"They're calling you the next P.D James, the next Olivia Whiting. That must be very satisfying, after your previous rejections."
Caroline nodded. "But I'll tell you one thing—I'd give it all back willingly, the fame, the money, everything, to have Olivia here and alive again. She was more than just a mystery writer. She was an icon, the likes of which only come around once in a generation. And she was a wonderful human being too. The world is a poorer place without her."
"I'd say you'd stepped into her shoes rather well," Terri said. "So tell me about yourself, your childhood, when you started writing…" She looked up from her yellow pad. "I gather Caroline McKenzie isn't your real name?"
"No, my real name is Dee Dee Hartman. Hardly a name for a serious crime writer, is it? I always hated it. My mother was the sort who fussed and spoiled me and tied ribbons in my hair. Adorable little Dee Dee." She shuddered.
"Your father?"
"Was absent. Walked out when I was two. I was a lonely child and I invented wonderful fantasy worlds for myself. The writing came quite naturally."
She talked on. Terri nodded occasionally. When she fell silent Terri said, "And what next? Can you tell us about the next blockbuster?"
Caroline flushed. "I'm afraid I can't. I'm still in the throes, as it were. But it will be a kind of Tower of Storms Two. I'm bringing back the policeman."
"And do you plan to go on living here, in Olivia's old house?"
"I think so, for the time being," Caroline said. "Olivia was kind enough to leave me the house in her will, and I feel her presence strongly when I write here."
Terri rose to her feet. "I think that will do for now. It looks like there's a lull between storms so I think I'd be wise to make a quick getaway. I'll call you if more questions come up. And the photographer will probably be out tomorrow, so choose something stunning to wear and give Kat an extra brushing." She looked around. "Where has she got to now? I should say goodbye to her too."
They went back upstairs and found the cat lying in the bottom drawer of the desk.
"Would you look at that," Terri said. "Aren't cats amazing? They always find the most uncomfortable, impossible places to take naps. Mine likes to sleep in the Scrabble box lid every time we play."
Caroline stared at the sleeping animal. She was sure the bottom drawer had been closed earlier. How could the cat have managed to open it? It didn't stir as she accompanied the reporter downstairs and waved goodbye. As she closed the door again, she let out a huge sigh of relief. She had gotten through it and it had gone well. People Magazine here I come, she said. On my way to being a literary icon. She poured herself a glass of shiraz and when she carried it through to the living room, the cat was stretched out on the hearth rug.
By late afternoon the next wave of rain swept in from the ocean with the promise of a stormy night ahead. Caroline prowled the house, unable to settle. She had never heard the wind howl like that down the chimneys, sending out great billows of smoke from the fire. When the phone rang, her heart almost leaped from her chest.
"Hello?" She could hardly form the word.
"Caroline? Terri Furness here. Sorry to disturb you again, but I told you I'd call if any more questions occurred to me and a couple have."
"Oh? I'd be happy to answer them." Caroline tried to sound light. "Fire away."
"I realized that I forgot to mention one thing this afternoon," Terri said. "I'm an old friend of Olivia Whiting. We were college roommates, in fact. We kept in touch from time to time, and I interviewed her for People about five years ago. I remember asking her what she'd do if she ever dried up and got writer's block. And she laughed, that wonderful deep laugh of hers, and said her publisher would only let her publish one book a year, but she wrote faster than that, so she had a couple of manuscripts tucked away in her bottom drawer, for a rainy day—or a dry day, as she put it. I just wondered if you'd ever come across them."
"Manuscripts? I never heard of any manuscripts..."
"I'm sorry. I can hardly hear you," Terri said. "The line is terrible. It must be the weather. Look, would it be all right if I drove out again this evening? I was planning to spend the night at the inn in Roehaven anyway so that I could accompany the photographer tomorrow. But now the photographer has called to say he's not going to be able to make it, I'm afraid—he's been sent off to cover storm damage—so I might as well take some candid shots myself. If that's all right with you," she added.
"Fine. Fine with me," Caroline said.
"Great. Then I'll hop in the car and come right over. The rain seems to be easing here. See you in about half an hour then."
Caroline put down the phone and stood staring at it, willing her frozen brain into action. Think, dammit. She started to pace. She knows. That's why she came here, not because she wanted to interview me, but because she knows. Blood pounded through her head. She looked around wildly, as if planning a flight route. Call her back, tell her it isn't convenient. Tell her you've just come up with a fabulous plot idea and she'd be disturbing your writing.
She picked up the phone but the line was dead. Relax, she told herself. Deep breaths. You have nothing to fear. They can't prove anything. They did the autopsy. They noted the low blood pressure and the previous fall. Case closed.
Darkness fell quickly and she went around the house turning on every light as the wind picked up again in intensity. As she was about to enter her office and glanced at the desk another, more disturbing, thought entered her head. Those manuscripts, those ones in the bottom drawer—old friends confided in each other, didn't they? Was it possible that Olivia had shown her friend the manuscripts and she had recognized the similarities?
Cold fear gripped at her. A public expose. Ridicule. Doomed forever in the literary marketplace. She couldn't let that happen. She stared out of the window into the blackness of the night. "See you in half an hour," the woman had said. She had less than half an hour to think, to plan. Another fall down the stairs would certainly arouse suspicion, and she'd already warned the woman to be cautious. Too bad she knew nothing about poisons. Only cyanide came to mind and she didn't have any.
A thought came to her: a car accident—slick roads, blustery winds—but how did one arrange a car accident? She could hardly hope for a chance to cut the brake cables or wreck the steering, even if she possessed the expertise to do so, which she didn't.
Then she had a brilliant idea. There was a sharp bend where the road swung away from the coast. If she could remove the warning sign, that stand of fir trees would hide the actual bend in the road. With no warning the woman would not brake in time and would drive over the cliff, a good fifty feet drop. Caroline's heart raced as she peered out of the upstairs window. No headlights were yet visible. She'd have to hurry but she could do it! She had to do it!
The house lights flickered. God, don't say the power was going off! She'd better grab a flashlight before it was too late. She ran to the stairs. As she went to put her foot on the top step, the cat rose up with a fearsome yowl. Caroline screamed, fought to regain her balance, clutched at air and went tumbling down the stairs.
Terri gripped the steering wheel of her car, her face grim. Was she running a risk, going back to see the woman alone, on a night like this? Who was to say that she wasn't dangerous, deranged even? She would have to tread carefully, not alarm her, but she had to get a feel for the truth. When she had noticed that cat, lying in the bottom drawer, it had awoken a memory of a conversation with Olivia. During that same conversation Olivia had mentioned a writer's conference she had just attended.
"Absolutely hopeless, most of them. There was this awful little woman called Dee Dee who pestered me the whole time. She had written the most frightful drivel and she wanted me to say it was War and Peace." And she had laughed, her deep, comfortable chuckle.
Lights were on in the house but nobody answered the front door. Puzzled but rather relieved Terri drove away again. Her subsequent phone calls went unanswered too and it was a week later before she found out why. When firefighters broke into the house, they found the body, lying at the foot of the stairs. There was no sign of a cat.

I've noticed a lot of people pick a secondary school so they can use the damage spells from it.
I'm not saying it doesn't work, but as you get to a higher level and you get more and more power pips, it becomes less effective and using the damage spells from your own school ends up being better.
It seems like it makes more sense to put points in a secondary school for specific spells, like Reshuffle, Feint, Tower Shield and Satyr.

This Silicon Alley Insider Chart based on the latest Comscore U.S. search engine market share results says it all… Yahoo is on its way out as a search leader and none too gracefully. If I were a Yahoo executive it would hurt to see this no matter what future plans they had for Bing to take over. Scary stuff!

This is not surprising at all. I think Bing is slowly making it's way up that chart which is kind of surprising.

Bing has put so much money in their marketing efforts I'm not surprised at their increase. I just hope that the momentum in constant after the marketing blitz.

Chilly Cheeks
It was recently announced that the Pabst Brewing Company, makers of Pabst Blue Ribbon, has been sold to a Russian company, a clandestine way for the U.S to get back at Russia for all the bad things they have done in the Ukraine. Pabst is the maker of 14 different brands of beer. These include many brews so "nasty" that they could not stay in business when operating on their own; such as Piels, Schlitz, National Bo, Schaefers and Old Milwalkee Light & Not-So-Light. During periods of shortages in the embalming industry, many of these same brands have been used as substitutes for that essential fluid. Pabst's also produces 40 oz. legends such as Colt 45 and St Ides; drinks that no sane person would EVER be seen downing on the streets without it being covered with a brown paper bag. Many drinking these products also cover THEIR face with a brown paper bag, just in case the bag around their beer breaks instead. The irony of this situation is that with this lineup of swamplike liquids, Pabst Blue Ribbon (not exactly the champagne of bottled beer) appears to be the PREMIUM brand that comes with this acquisition. Amazingly, IT IS! The moral here is that ALL assessments are RELATIVE to their situation. Take the Chilly Cheeks 7M Trail Run. RELATIVELY, it is the HARDEST trail run that Pretzel City Sports holds on a "per mile" basis. It has more hills than any of our races, just as many rocks and roots, bone chilling temperatures as a rule, a crawl up Mt. WhaDaFug II and on-course obstacles covered with snow during certain years (as in 2014) that you ONLY know are there once they cause you to end up face first on the terra firma. But while it is tuff RELATIVE to our other races, is it REALLY that hard; like being in labor for 19 hours, sitting thru a Sarah McLachlan concert or solving a 23 letter Wheel of Fortune puzzle with only 1 vowel showing?? It can't be all THAT hard since as many as 400-600 people have conquered it each year for the past 8 years. And it can't be THAT hard when the finishers still have the energy to stay around for hours afterwards to enjoy the free breakfast we provide and frequent our cash bar. It can't be THAT hard since some people that watch The Biggest Loser and refer to the contestants as "Tiny" have finished this event before the month has elapsed, just by taking their time and persevering. The Chilly Cheeks is a true test of your mid-winter fitness. Bring your RELATIVES as well. Come join us to see if YOU and THEY can finish this race before your cheeks get chilly too; all 4 for them! LEGAL LINGO: You race at your own risk; you alone are responsible for your welfare at all times!! This race has occasionally been held on ice and snow, which makes it easier to find your footprints but harder to find your corpse. So, if dinged, drag your OWN frozen butt back to a spot that we can drive to; to bring you back in. If you get lost (you WON'T), please find the Liederkranz before your scrambled eggs & pancakes get even colder than you are. Since the race is quite tuff, we only let those enter that are 18 or over (16 & 17 yr. olds can too but ONLY if they have a parent at the race). We also turn away people who think that Rosie O'Donnell "is", "was" or "ever will be" funny and anyone who doesn't spit or get mumbly-mouthed when they say "Susie sells Sushi & Cinnamon down by the seashore" fast three times.
REGISTRATION/ENTRY: Reading Liederkranz German Singing & Sports Club, 140 Spook Lane (off of Hill Rd), Reading, PA (same place as most Pretzel City events). Reg. opens at 9:45 a.m., we race at 11. Fee is $34 w/ long sleeve tech shirt if postmarked by Wed, Jan 7th. Afterwards, $39 while shirts last (inc. day of race), $30 when gone. NOTE: LONG SLEEVE TECH SHIRT ONLY GUARANTEED FOR ALL THOSE REGISTERING BY THE PRICE BREAK; THOSE REGISTERING AFTER THAT DATE MAY RECEIVE A LONG SLEEVE COTTON SHIRT INSTEAD OR NO SHIRT AT ALL. If you fail to pre-enter, you'll regret that you have no other reminder of this race other than frostbite, the sniffles, sore quads from the uphills, shin splints from the downhills and a chipped tooth from the frozen water at the aide station. Even if you register in the post-reg period but before raceday, you're almost surely guaranteed a shirt of your preferred size and type. (optional on-line reg on pretzelcitysports.com will close at Midnight of the Wed before the race) We race in rain, snow or bitter cold; in fact, damn near anything! Call 610-779-2668 after 6 AM the day of the race ONLY if roads are pretty much impassable that day (not just a little "sub-par"). An email will be sent to all entries too, the minute we decide to postpone but if we only have your work email, you're screwed. If postponed, it will be held the following Sunday; same time, same place, better weather. No refunds, no mailed shirts or awards; no pets allowed on site, no outside alcohol allowed on site, no whiners, no wheelchairs (at least on the course) & no people that think that snow on the ground is any reason to cancel a race. 'Cause we won't!. Also, bring extra shoes for going inside! ATM on site; works most of the time.
registration not required
but always encouraged!
(small service fee applies, closes at midnight on Wed the week of the race)
YOU GET: Long sleeve Tech shirt with a memorable design, hot breakfast, indoor registration & toilets, free snacks at the finish line, suds/chilled Jaegermeister/strange Germanic meats available for purchase thru the club, WELL marked course, 2 water stops, live band, finish place posted immediately & results on www.pretzelcitysports.com in 1-2 days, unique aide station fare & other surprises not yet finalized.

Lower Manhattan Hospital
Coordinates: 40°42′37″N 74°0′18″W / 40.71028°N 74.00500°W
Lower Manhattan Hospital is a not-for-profit, acute care, teaching hospital in New York City and is one of the few hospitals in Lower Manhattan south of Greenwich Village. It is part of the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System and one of the main campuses of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
The Lower Manhattan Hospital operates 170 beds, and offers a full range of inpatient and outpatient services, as well as community outreach and education. It is also a leader in the field of emergency preparedness and disaster management. The Hospital serves the area's diverse neighborhoods including Wall Street, Battery Park City, Chinatown, SoHo, TriBeCa, Little Italy, and the Lower East Side. It is the closest acute care facility to the Financial District, to the seat of the City government, and to some of New York's most popular tourist attractions.
The name and location of the hospital have gone through several changes since Elizabeth Blackwell founded the New York Dispensary for Poor Women and Children in 1853. In 1857 she opened the hospital under the name of New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children[1] at East 7th Street near the present day Tompkins Square Park. As the hospital required more space it moved in 1858 to Stuyvesant Square. Finally in 1981, merging with the Beekman Downtown Hospital, it relocated to its present site in Lower Manhattan under the name of New York Infirmary-Beekman Downtown Hospital.
In 1991, the hospital was renamed New York Downtown Hospital. In 1997, after three years of affiliation with NYU Medical Center, the name was changed to NYU Downtown Hospital. In 2005 the affiliation with the NYU Medical Center ceased and the hospital reverted to the name New York Downtown Hospital. Following a full merger in 2013 with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, it was renamed New York-Presbyterian/Lower Manhattan Hospital.[2]
In 2005 the hospital discharged nearly 12,000 inpatients. The hospital, an affiliate of Weill Cornell Medical College, provides approximately 100,000 outpatient visits and 6,000 surgical procedures annually. In addition, as lower Manhattan's only emergency department, the hospital treats 32,000 patients annually in its emergency department and provides more than 5,000 ambulance transports.
In 2006 the hospital introduced a new decontamination unit built as part of the $25 million Lehman Brothers Emergency Room. The project was begun after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, when the hospital treated about 1,500 victims. Before construction of the new facility the hospital's small decontamination unit could handle about 20 patients an hour. The new unit can treat between 500 and 1,000 patients an hour. The design is based on the decontamination unit at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel.

I Put together a new system. After putting it together, the fans run and the lights are on but it doesn't do anything else. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
it could be a lot of different things, but you're not gonna get an answer if you don't provide any info.
This space for rent
What info do you need? I try and tell you.
Is it a prebuilt or did you build it from scratch? If you built it, why did you put, "System Manufacturer: Hewlett Packard"?
How about listing your complete system specs? motherboard, CPU, RAM, video card, power supply, etc...make/model for each
This space for rent
When I had a previous problem, it was with my HP PC. I am now working on a system I am puting together myself. It has a biostar P4M80-M4 mobo with an Intel celron 340 processor. It has 256MB ram. 250W power supply. If there is any more info you need please let me know.
You didn't fully answer my questions, but this would be the 1st thing I'd look into:
"250W power supply"
This space for rent
I tried the mobo with everything in it on a pc with 350w power supply, same results as 250w power supply. video is built into mobo.
What other info do you need?
If you have a video card trying putting that in. Does the harddrive spin when you turn it on?
at this time I'm just trying to get to post and maybe the bios screen. It seems I can't even get that far. Just fans and lights, thats all I get.
Try reseating the ram and/or using only one stick.
I only have one stick of ram (256MB), and I have reseated it many times.
Are you sure your front panel switches (on/off)are connected to the right headers on your motherboard? With the correct polarity. Consult your MB owners manuel.
I'm not sure of anything. All I know is that nothing happens. I'm about to throw the thing in the trash.
hey man u got to be patient .if u r not sure of anything than try out few steps that can help you.but before this you need to tell me that r u sure of all the fixtures you have made on your mobo??
if not than first use a good psu(350w)than seat your ram in the slot next to the processor.properly fix the connections and than try starting your machine(withou any expansion cards).
reply if it works
good luck
There is a post below yours "New system wont boot-like dead". Read that!
It's good to know a few things:
"Bad" motherboards are rare, unless they went bad from mis handling, electrical shorts (in the case) or electrostatic discharge.
Is it possible that you bent a pin(s) on the CPU? Are you SURE that the CPU cooler is installed correctly?
(Modern CPU's, with their very small surface, take just seconds to overhead with no sink properly installed.)
Are you SURE you have the proper kind of RAM, and that it is good? Do you have another computer that you can "try" the RAM in?
Carefully check the "manual" to be sure there are no CPU/RAM voltage or speed jumpers to set.
I would DEFINATELY try "resetting" the bios. Refer to the manual, there may be a jumper. If not, what ALWAYS works, is to remove the "coin" battery for a period of time, to be sure, wait 15 min or so. Do this with power OFF.
Also, hook this up as follows:
On a SAFE TABLE, NOT in the case, hook up ONLY
The power supply, motherboard
RAM, CPU, and VIDEO
and the keyboard.
THAT'S IT, nothing else.
I ended up returning the cpu and exchanging it for another one. I did get it to work briefly before the exchange, but I think I burned up the cpu. Therefore the exchange. I'll try to keep you updated as to what happens when I get the replacement cpu.
I got a new cpu and put the system together and now it's up and running.

A Nice "Geographic" Surprise!
While I was there (on Google) I thought I'd nose around a bit and see what people were saying about me and where I've ended up over the past few weeks and months. It's always interesting to see because the various magazine articles, newspaper interviews and other media appearances are now frequently shared in digital, online formats and you never know for sure who's going to pick it up and print it in another part of the country or world. I've been amazed at some of the places I've found myself! All good, mind you.
Much to my surprise I saw a headline that said something about "National Geographic". I immediately dismissed it as another Troy Marden (oddly, there are a couple of us running around) and went on. About two pages later, though, I saw a second headline that said "National Geographic" and had my name in the bylines, so I thought I'd better check it out. I'm so glad I did! National Geographic magazine has an online photo forum that anyone in the world can join--professional or amateur photographers--and post their photos for ratings by others AND the opportunity, just maybe, to have your photo selected as "Photo of the Week".
Needless to say, I clicked on the link and the surprise that awaited me was that TWO of my photos had been selected to run in an article for National Geographic Traveler magazine. What a nice surprise! Between that and the absolutely stunning weather we're having right now, it has been a good week. You can see the National Geographic Traveler piece here:
The opening shot of the gazebo at Longwood Gardens is mine, as is the photo on page 2 (scroll to the bottom of the page and click "next") of the oval spiral staircase at Winterthur.
Coming next week--"Bluebird Blog"!!! I've had a pair of eastern bluebirds nest in an open box atop the potting bench and there are four beautiful eggs. While staying away as much as possible, I can't help peeking from time to time. I'll post some photos of the babies as they grow and develop!

Hey what a great surprise! I wonder that they didn't notify you though. And, btw, it is a lovely photograph.

Congrats on your photos in National Geographic. That's quite an honor.
Congrats on the bluebirds too. I'd love to host some bluebirds but since there are so many English sparrows in my barns I don't attempt to attract them anymore. What a joy when they hatch and begin to fly.

Feds to stress safety to hikers after deaths at Arizona-Utah border
SALT LAKE CITY — Federal land managers are stepping up warnings to reduce
the death toll at The Wave, a hiking destination on the Utah-Arizona border that
requires survival and navigation skills.
In July, three hikers with lottery permits to visit The Wave succumbed to
brutal summer heat and disorienting open country.
The Wave is a richly patterned swirl of
sandstone. The 3-mile hike starts in Utah before reaching the formation in
"We're putting a greater re-emphasis on safety," said Rachel Tueller, a
spokeswoman for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's Arizona Strip district.
The agency planned to post a new trailhead sign, step up warnings on a BLM
website, share a safety video with the Kanab Visitor Center and translate safety
brochures for foreign visitors.
Officials already give a safety orientation at the Kanab Visitor Center, where
they dole out 10 hiking permits to walk-ins on a daily basis. The BLM uses an
online lottery to award 10 other daily permits.
Tueller said the BLM management team was considering a wider range of other
steps the agency might take to ensure hiker safety at the remote location, which
has spotty cellphone coverage.
A maker of a signal booster has offered to donate a transmitter that could be
installed on a ranger station, providing better coverage.
Tueller said the BLM has yet to accept the offer from Sanford, Mich.-based
Cellular Solutions. The agency has tried to preserve a sense of wilderness at
the location — the reason it leaves the cross-country route to The Wave
unmarked. The BLM gives hikers pictures of landmarks to guide themselves along
the way.
The BLM's main emphasis is getting people to think harder about whether the
hike is something they can handle, Tueller said.

The champ is here!
You can`t see me!
Word Life!
Whether fighting or spitting, my discipline is unforgiving!
If you want some, come get some!
I haven`t backed down from a fight in my life, and I won`t start tonight.
Kicking ass and taking names. Making checks and breaking necks.
I never back down, I never quit!
I regret nothing and fear less.
Live fast, fight hard, no regrets!
so you can go ahead and blow me.
I want to get people back on records that have been out of it for a little while, that still got crazy skills that are out there. There`s a ton of people out still out there that can rip the mike and they need to be heard.
A lot of the artists that are coming out right now are sticking to the formula of guns, drugs, money, all that other stuff. I`m not from the `hood, I`ve never been arrested, I never shot anybody, I never sold drugs,
Kickin`, ass takin` names, cashing checks, and breakin necks, the champ is here.
Trust me, ... I know where my heart is and my heart`s right here. I`m going to keep doing everything because I love to do it, but I will never sacrifice my time between the ropes. That`s no shot to anybody. Everybody`s got different career paths. This is mine.
This is why it was a great day. No. 1, Snitsky didn`t kill anyone. No. 2, Coach didn`t win. No. 3, Coach didn`t win. And No. 4, Coach didn`t win.
The Champ is here.
What I want to do is, I want to put together a nice list of those guys who I really did admire when I was growing up, listening to names like Lord Finesse,
(Recorded in 2004 at Chaos and Order Basscamp Studios during Cena`s rare breaks from the ring, YOU CAN`T SEE ME features 17 original tracks. Paying tribute to the classic two-man rhyming crews of the past, Cena and Tha Trademarc (Marc Predka) nimbly trade verses throughout the album.) You almost never hear a rap crew today working like EPMD or 3rd Bass, ... I wanted to bring that style back a little and get away from one MC up there doing his thing. Working this way let us attack a song from different directions and create a more dynamic flow.
MTV don`t play music no more, so I don`t know if we can do that, but we`re going to really try to knock it down with this one, ... It`s a great song, it sends a good message. It sends that message to people that you always don`t have to be a gun-totin`, mean mother ... we`re all human beings.
