Another Reason to Be a Vegan. ~ Andrea Devon Bertoli
…at least some of the time
As a long-time vegetarian (almost 20 years now), I have learned quite a bit on this long, green path. But the most important lesson I learned is that everyday there is another reason to surrender the animal foods in our diet in favor of plant-based goodness. Not only is animal agriculture devastating to our environment, it is by every definition cruel to animals of every stripe and it's pretty bad for our bodies too.
Today I learned that the fats of animals (including humans) have the tendency to collect the bad stuff in our environment, and if you eat animal foods, you are taking in the pollution that the animal may have acquired.
Did you know that animal fats can concentrate things like PCBs, dioxin and heavy metals? It has been repeatedly found that meats (including chicken and fish) significantly increase the risk of bladder cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Additionally, dairy products double our risk for Parkinson's disease, heart attack, and many types of cancer (prostate cancer, colorectal, testicular). This information is from Industrial Carcinogens in Animal Fat.
If you are interested in nutrition and food, NutritionFacts.org is a site you should check out as soon as possible. Dr. Michael Gregor, a general practitioner with a focus on clinical nutrition, is the smarts behind the site. He currently serves as the Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at the Humane Society. The website is super valuable because it distills all the jargon of current peer-reviewed medical research and turns it into short videos about everything health topic imaginable.
Best of all, all the videos are available for free on the site. Dr. Gregor advocates for a vegan diet, and after watching a few of his videos, you might find a new reason to decrease animal foods in your diet too.
Andrea Devon Bertoli is a vegetarian chef and cooking instructor based on the gathering isle of Oahu.

Thanks Andrea. Don't forget about the environmental destruction: Animal Agriculture is the number one Cause of Global warming. Watch this 5 minute video to learn the facts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwSO7qqgHa8
You are absolutely right, Kim. The animal agriculture has a devastating effect on our natural environment- it's impossible to forget about that. It definitely deserves an article all its own- thanks for reading.

[…] Transitioning to a vegan dietary lifestyle does take some work. It is not for the weak of heart or the person only willing to go halfway into this transition. Many vegans enjoy just as many benefits of healthy living, if not more so than their traditional vegetarian counterparts. Choosing this path will be very rewarding in all the ways mentioned, as well as cleaning out years of processed, packaged, and nutrient-deficient foods. Veganism is here to stay. […]

A proposal released Thursday by two education groups contends that all 3- and 4-year-old children in the state should be guaranteed access to full-day prekindergarten programs.
The proposal by the Campaign for Educational Equity and Center for Childrens Initiatives would enable districts to offer two years of full-day prekindergarten. The reform is designed to be phased in over eight years, starting by enrolling 4-year-olds during the first five years and 3-year-olds during the following three.
The state attempted to implement a universal prekindergarten program for 4-year-olds in 1997, the groups point out, but funding was discontinued after many districts didnt participate. The groups say the state initially should pay for the program but local districts eventually should contribute funding in accordance with their wealth.
The proposal is available at http://wdt.me/4xVBuS.

Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant nutrient. It is necessary for the building of collagen, maintaining teeth and gum tissue health, and normal functioning of the body's natural defenses.
Carlson Mild·C contains Calcium Ascorbate, a buffered form of Vitamin C that dentists prefer in chewable Vitamin C supplements. There is evidence that teeth may be harmed by chewing Vitamin C tablets containing ascorbic acid. The acidity of ascorbic acid can leach Calcium from teeth causing gradual dental erosion. Ascorbic acid may also be difficult for a sensitive stomach to digest. Calcium Ascorbate is a non-acidic form of Vitamin C that is gentle to the teeth and mild in the stomach.

Kendrick Lamar's rapid rise to the top shows no sign of letting up, dropping the first video from his major label debut good kid, m.A.A.d city for the second single Swimming Pools (Drank), an introspective look into society, his father and his own dependence on alcohol.
With the amount of hype surrounding Kendrick right now compared to a a year ago, or even just a few months ago, and still another two months until the album's release, I'd be very surprised if it's not one of the biggest hip-hop breakthroughs of the past five years or so!
Not much has been confirmed for the album to date but if Wikipedia is to be believed, it will feature a Dr Dre produced Eminem collaboration by the name of Her Will, which if true, is something to get very excited about!
For now though, check out the Swimming Pools (Drank) video below, which is a very bold choice for an introductory mainstream single but hopefully a perfect choice and let me know your thoughts!

Training Classes in Detail
Time Management for System Administrators: Work smarter, get more done
instructor: Tom Limoncelli
Note: This is an all-day class, which takes two class sessions.
Tom Limoncelli is on a mission. He wants to see System Administrators work 40 hours a week (not 70), be more relaxed (not stressed), and still get all their work done. It isn't easy.
Most time management talks are useless for people with hundreds of screaming users.
His first tip will save you an hour each week. Seven more like it and you have gained a day each week!
Some of his tips will include:
* How not to get interrupted by users
* What to do when users interrupt you anyway
* Avoid the "Todo List Of Doom"
* How to go home at 5pm every day
* Places to find "hidden" free time
* Precompiled routines are better than ad hoc
* When automating is a waste of time
* How do you get more "face time" with your boss? (or less, if you prefer)
Tom Limoncelli has been teaching his Time Management for System Administrators Tutorial for 3 years. His new book, "Time Management for System Administrators" from O'Reilly has been published recently.
Change Management: Why suffer the paperwork?
instructor: Jesse Trucks, GCIH, GCUX, Sr System Administrator/Team Lead, IT Convergence
This class covers both the conceptual and practical aspects of Change Management. In this class you will learn what Change Management is within the context of System Administration and IT operations. You will learn how to take the concepts of Change Management back to your own operations to improve change control and documentation procedures. The goal of Change Management and this class is to improve IT service by reducing surprises, reducing Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), establishing and improving documentation standards and incorporating practical change management methods into the daily practice of IT groups.
Communication for IT: A broad spectrum analysis
instructor: Jesse Trucks, GCIH, GCUX, Sr System Administrator/Team Lead, IT Convergence
This class covers all manner of communication techniques for IT professionals, with an emphasis on the particular struggles facing system administrators today. The class covers the wide range of communication styles and how to more effectively utilize those styles. You will learn how to use the different forms of ancient and modern communication methods, such as face to face meetings, email, instant messaging, and teleconferencing (audio and video). The goal is to provide better understanding and more effective tools for communicating with management, peers, and clients in the workplace.
Disaster Recovery: Will you survive?
instructor: Jesse Trucks, GCIH, GCUX, Sr System Administrator/Team Lead, IT Convergence
Every IT operation eventually faces a disaster on some scale. Despite most disaster based damage being avoidable, the result is usually catastrophic in some way or another. In this class you will learn how to mitigate risk of disaster through a variety of methods. This class covers Disaster Recovery (DR) as a discipline and the low level mechanics of evaluating risks and developing mitigation or reactive disaster plans. All system administrators, regardless of the size or scope of their operation, will benefit from a more in depth understanding of DR taught in this class. The goal is to provide skills and knowledge that allows immediate changes to the disaster readiness of your own operations back at the office.
Advanced Security: A self-assessment study
instructor: Jesse Trucks, GCIH, GCUX, Sr System Administrator/Team Lead, IT Convergence
This class takes an unconventional approach to advanced security for system administrators. The approach is based on the idea that we can usually figure out how to secure something once we know what needs securing, but the difficulty is usually in enumerating the things that require security. In this class, you will learn how to perform a comprehensive evaluation of your workplace security. This encompasses any organizational policies, applicable government regulations effecting system administration, network topology, personnel involved, systems, and other areas requiring evaluation to understand the full spectrum of security issues at a particular workplace. The goal is for you to take home a detailed list of questions to answer and risks to evaluate, as well as the tools to answer those questions, evaluate those risks, and propose solutions to meet the security needs of your organization.
Compliance For System Administrators
instructor: George Toft, CISSP, MSIS, My IT Department
New document: Compliance for System Administrators
HIPAA, GLBA, FACTA, PCI, Oh My!
This class will cover a lot of topics that System Administrators need to be aware of to comply with various external requirements, including:
* Just what are the various regulatory and psuedo-regulatory compliance requirements?
* Common Business Errors
* What System Administrators need to know about compliance requirements
* Requirements For Business
* Risk Analysis
* Information Security Plans
* Testing of Controls
* Requirements for Support Personnel / Service Providers
* A.R.S. 44-7501 (Arizona State Law)
Developing IT Policies
instructor: David Parter, LOPSA
Policy is critical for the evaluation and even survival of any IT shop; it provides critical protection to users, managers, and most of all the sysadmins themselves. However, the process for drafting IT policies is often difficult and murky. This class will focus on the process from beginning to end. We'll look at identifying what policies are needed, how to include everyone who should be involved in drafting policy, getting approval from management, crafting sensible policies in difficult environments both political and technical, and finally implementing policies once they have been drafted and approved.
Ethics and Professionalism for System Administrators
instructor: Esther Filderman
The profession of System Administration frequently requires ethical decisions with which to deal with our day to day situations -- accessing others files, email, and other confidential data, as well as longer term issues, such as retention policies and vendor biases. How we deal with these decisions affects our profession as a whole.
We'll discuss the System Administrators' Code Of Ethics, and along the way various scenarios of possible ethical quandaries will be presented. Feel free to bring your own issues to share and explore, and be prepared to argue and discuss various ideas. Ethical decisions are not always simple and you may find yourself exploring the many shades of gray that these issues can raise.
Data Centers, Server Rooms and Server Hosting
instructor: Michael T. Halligan, BitPusher
Who should attend: Systems Administrators evaluating commercial datacenter providers, who want to learn more about the state of the colocation market, or who are considering building their own datacenter or server room.
Today's datacenter market is a vast, and convoluted space. Ask ten different colocation providers a question, and you're sure to get ten different answers. The dot-com crash left a lot of cheap space in it's wake, most of which has not kept up with the times, creating a myriad of new problems and considerations you'll face when choosing a facility to house your infrastructure. This class aims to help guide sysadmins who either haven't dealt with the task of specifying and procuring commercial datacenter space, and those who haven't done so in a while. The same evaluation criteria and considerations can be applied to an in-house datacenter or server room.
instructor: Bob Plankers, University of Wisconsin - Madison
This class will get you up to speed on virtualization and evaluation
or deploying virtual systems for your site. Topics include:
* What is virtualization, and what is the terminology around the topic?
* A brief history of virtualization
* Types of virtualization (paravirtualization vs. real virtualization), virtualization vs. emulation
* Why virtualization is cool (encapsulation, security implications, ROI, ...)
* Why virtualization is a pain (harder resource management, slower,
troubleshooting is more difficult, chargebacks ...)
* Pros and Cons of the different types of virtualization
* Virtualization offerings including both open source, free, and commercial, including Xen, VMware ESX and VirtualCenter, VMware Server, Mac OSX Parallels, IBM Dynamic and Micro LPARs, and Solaris Zones
* Pros and Cons of the different offerings
* What CPU vendors are doing to help with virtualization
* Performance implications of virtualization, troubleshooting
* Hardware consideratios
* Enterprise storage and its role in each offering, including storage virtualization.
* Role of virtualization in disaster recovery plans
* Licensing issues
* Management issues: chargeback methods, return on investment, what upper management needs to know
* Futures: Linux hypervisor compatibility & paravirtualization, global schedulers like VMware's DRS, etc
Introduction to Telephony and VOIP
instructor: Stacy Bowdish,Google, ACD/IVR Systems Administrator
Ever wonder what happens when you dial a phone number? How about the inner workings of the oft-dreaded customer service IVRs? Curious about VoIP? In this session we'll explore the history and future of telephony, as well as demystify some of its core technology.
Get Ready for Perl 6
instructor: Trey Harris, LOPSA
Perl 6, the completely revamped version of the most popular scripting language among system administrators, has been in development for over five years now, so you'll be excused for thinking it's vaporware. But development has continued, and greatly accelerated over the past year. It's now possible to download tools that let you run Perl 6 programs today; an official beta release is likely in 2007.
Perl 6 is a complete rewrite of the language, with hundreds of exciting new features. Your Perl 5 scripts and programs will continue to run under Perl 6, but to make use of the new features, you'll need to learn the new language. This tutorial will give you a head start so you'll be ready when Perl 6 is.
Topics covered will include:
* An overview of Perl 6's design
* Its compilers and runtimes (yes, plural)
* Language changes:
- New/changed syntax
- Junctions
- Subroutines
- The MAIN subroutine and command-line arguments
- Objects, classes, roles and traits
- Modules and packages
- Regexes, rules, and grammars
* Downloading and installing Perl 6 tools so you can experiment with Perl 6 today, including backports of Perl 6 features to Perl 5
Live demos will be run, too, so you can see Perl 6 in action!
Administering a Mac OS X Environment
instructor: Jim Foraker, Carnegie Mellon University
The Mac OS X operating system is a huge advance of what came before, but many IT shops and IT professionals still regard Macs as toys, not serious computing platforms for a total installation. This course will cover concepts needed to either create an entire network of Mac clients and servers, and also how to integrate Mac OS X clients into existing networks securely and safely. Topics include binding to NIS/LDAP and NFS, Active Directory support, software updates and management, security, Mac OS X Server and OpenDirectory, command line tips and tricks, and more.
Automate Windows Administration
instructor: David Lundell, Mutually Beneficial Inc.
Learn how to use the Windows Script Host and Windows Management Instrumentation (focus on VBScript, with a Jscript and Perl example as well) to make better login scripts, and automate some of your administrative chores.
PHP for System Administrators
instructor: Eric Thelin, President and founder of AzPHP
People attending this class will learn not only how to configure PHP
servers but diagnose common errors. Attendees will learn many of the
"tricks of the trade" for getting PHP to scale to the enterprise level.
Individuals are encouraged to bring specific "real world" problems to
discuss and should feel free to bring any apps they as admins find useful.

Employers moot move to 'living wage' pay plan
The head of NHS Employers has suggested introducing a "living wage" – calculated according to the basic cost of living – for health service staff as an alternative to the annual review of basic pay.
Dean Royles also floated the idea of multi-year pay deals. He put forward the ideas in an article in Nursing Times' sister title HSJ, in which he called for a debate on how to ensure a "smooth exit" from the era of health service pay restraint.
Later this month the NHS Pay Review Body is expected to make its yearly recommendations to the government on changes to basic pay for health service staff, which is expected to be around 1%.
Mr Royles repeated claims this would cost £500m, which he said was equivalent to the salaries of 15,000 nurses. He said employers could not go on asking for pay freezes but instead needed to be "creative and bold" in tackling NHS pay.
"Let's explore options for multi-year deals. Or let's explore how we could move towards the 'living wage'. Surely it's right to explore and test out assumptions, to see if it will help us contain costs, secure jobs and allow a smooth exit from a period of pay restraint," he said.

But unions have highlighted the real-terms fall in incomes over recent years following two years of a pay freeze, higher pension costs and a 1% pay rise in 2013.
Readers' comments (12)
1% "maybe" for us....11% for MP's...we are all in this together though!!!
Never mind 1% , the "creative and bold" comment is code for regional pay, non-AFC pay and salaried posts!
I wonder how much Dean Royles earns per year. What will be his pay rise? What is the size of his pension pot?
It is amazing how the people earning six figures salary do their best to deny the low paid of a decent pay rise.
I suppose the lower the pay rise for the staff the greater his bonus.

Put every CEO on a band 2 for a year and see how quickly a living wage for all staff. Pension contribution increases have eroded any pay rise to a net pay cut.
A living wage sounds like a minimum wage. A wage cap. if i am good at my job am i aspiring to earn a minimum wage? Not much of an incentive.
if you want the best you pay a premium not a minimum.
A 'living wage' ! I have seen my take home pay rise by £20 a month in the past 3 years, working as a clinical nurse specialist. There are staff who have been in the NHS for 20 years who are leaving their jobs, enough is enough.. Along with staff shortages, moral at an all time low and no investment in staff.Who would choose a nursing career in the NHS?
I agree with the above comments... Also would they actually spend the £500m on 15000 new nurses, I dont think so ...
I wouldn't like to see this happen, if the state pension is anything to go by, the basic pension being under £6000. That is considered living wage. On the other hand others (non-pensioners) are receiving £29,000, that would be more attractive as a newly qualified nurse, but we have no chance. We wouldn't fit the criteria.
I smell a rat! Race to the bottom! As if there's no vested interest or agenda. Don't trust you as far as I can spit. Pull the other one.
'creative and bold'. I am so fcoughing fed up with all the spin (lies).
Seems we are all singing from the same book!! More and more nurses will seek to leave the NHS and work abroad where they will have to do less but get paid more :-)
I note MP's gave themselves a lovely payrise, maybe if they were not so greedy and didnt take a pay rise then maybe those who do actually save lives and look after other people's poorly relatives (no one appears to look after the nursing staff!) they will get the pay rise they deserve!!

Man and Woman Sit Next to each Other With a Pile of Money in Front of Them, Woman Looking Jealous at Man's Pile

MURFREESBORO - Those taxes you paid to the federal government in April are coming from less and less pretax income, and change is not in the offing, according to an MTSU economist.
Jason DeBacker, an assistant professor in the department of economics and finance, is the co-author of a new report that shows income inequality in the United States is more permanent than it is subject to periodic fluctuations.

"Fiercely honest.… Intrigues and intoxicates like a David Mamet stage play.… A riveting portrait of a towering and polarizing man. It's also great fun!"—Asawin Suebsaeng, Mother Jones
Former New York Mayor Ed Koch, who died in February, was ferocious, charismatic, and hilariously blunt—in other words, the quintessential New Yorker. He ran New York from 1978 to 1989: a decade marked by near-bankruptcy, rampant crime, a municipal corruption scandal, and the burgeoning AIDS epidemic. Through candid interviews and rare archival footage, first-time filmmaker (and former Wall Street Journal reporter) Neil Barsky has crafted an intimate and revealing portrait of this intensely private man, his legacy as a political titan, and the town he helped transform.

Georgia 2nd Infantry Battalion
The Georgia 2nd Independent Infantry Battalion was assembled at Norfolk, Virginia, in April, 1861. It served in North Carolina, then returned to Virginia during the Seven Days' Battles and fought at Malvern Cliff under General J.G. Walker. Transferred to A.R. Wright's Brigade, the battalion was active in the campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from Fredericksburg to Appomattox. It reported 2 killed and 26 wounded at Chancellorsville and lost more than forty-five percent of the 173 engaged at Gettysburg. The unit surrendered 8 officers and 74 men in April, 1865.
Majors Thomas Hardeman, Jr., C.J. Moffett, and George W. Ross.
This battalion contained four companies; two from Macon, one from Columbus, and one from Griffin.

Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, Cindy Barshop & Alex McCord Axed From 'Real Housewives of New York City'?
HuffPost Celebrity's Rob Shuter is reporting that Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and Alex McCord were all let go from 'The Real Housewives of New York City' on Thursday, and that three new ladies will be added to the cast for its new season. Us Weekly claims Cindy Barshop is also off the show.
The 'Housewives' housecleaning leaves Ramona Singer and former Countess LuAnn de Lesseps as the only original cast members remaining. Sonja Morgan will also be staying with the show. No word yet on last season's new addition Cindy Barshop, although it's been widely reported that she will also not be returning.
Bravo has yet to release an official statement about the casting shake-ups, and it's unclear why these three ladies in particular were let go. It's possible that as original cast members, their salary demands were getting too high for Bravo's liking. As we saw this past season, all the women seemed very concerned with their own fame, personal branded products and endorsement deals.
Another possible cause is that the network, like many viewers, was getting tired of Jill's bossiness, Alex's constant need to start fights and one-up her fellow 'Housewives' and Kelly's increasingly erratic behavior.
There were also rumors that Jill was looking to do her own spinoff, a la ex-BFF Bethenny Frankel, including a possible 'Real Housewives of London' offshoot.
Either way, rumor has it that Bravo is trying to keep the ladies on the line, just in case their new crop of 'Housewives' hopefuls don't pan out.
What do you think of this news? Will you watch 'RHONY' without Jill, Kelly and Alex?

I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but lately I've been wanting to be more philanthropic. I don't have a ton of extra money to throw at causes I care about, but I've been looking for non-monetary ways to donate my time and … materials?
I cut off all of my hair and gave it to Locks of Love. Because the more I thought about it, hair's just hair.
I'm not going to lie, I feel like a shaved sheep or something. I don't hate my new 'do, but let's just say I would never ever choose it over my formerly long and lovely locks. It takes so much time to do stuff to it in the morning, whereas formerly I'd just kind of dry it and think about some hairspray.
But hey! Hair always grows back, and I'm always grateful for a non-monetary opportunity to help out.
So here are the shots:

7.3 wont start in cold anymore!
So heres the problem. Its been cold here for a few weeks now, lately been getting down into the teens, and even single digits. When I last fueled up (about a week ago) only put a half tank in. I didn't put the dieselkleen additive in (blew it off because it was starting fine lol) I sometimes plug it in, sometimes not it depends where I end up parking when I get home.. Either way plugging it in usually helps but now nothing. Anyways, I went to start it yesterday morning with a little bit less than 1/4 tank and it was plugged in. Started up fine, let it idle for about a minute (late for school haha) Took off, went down the end of my road and around the corner, stepped on it alittle to get up a hill and it kind of lost power and started loping, shut off. I let the GP's warm back up and tried again. It loped for about a minute straight and i tried keeping it at 1000rpms, warm it up a little bit more and it finally started running fine and by the time I got to school it was up to temp and running perfect.
Now, when I left school It was of course cold, started fine and then the exact same thing happened. So I poured about an OZ of the dieselkleen in the tank and got it to idle some how, eventually warmed up and I got home. Started it a few times when I was home and it was normal, fired up no problems. Eventually went out and filled the tank up and put the dieselkleen in.
This morning I went to start it, not plugged in. Cranked and got nothing. Waited for plugs to warm up a few more times. Fired up and idled for a few seconds, then started loping and died. Tried a few times and said F it and took my dads chevy to school. Got home and tried again.. same exact thing happened. It will fire after cranking for a while and run really rough, sometimes idle normal and then eventually die. I pulled the fuel filter out to check if it was gelled inside there (recent filter) and it was not. I tried the trick of putting cables from the positive terminal on the battery to the GPR, and it didn't do anything..
I'm thinking that its either gelled fuel or GPR/GP's.. What else could it be? Its been just plain cold here lately and it's been starting and running absolutely fine until these two incidents.
Anyone got any pointers..? Thanks
Re: 7.3 wont start in cold anymore!
I'd follow the instructions here to see if you have any bad glow plugs or a bad relay, which may help with the starting.

But if it dies after you start it sounds like you may have gelled fuel as well. You can pull the fuel filter and have someone turn on the ignition key (don't actually try to start it) to see how quickly the fuel pump fills up the bowl.

Re: 7.3 wont start in cold anymore!
My truck is doing the same thing. I'm lucky that it's not my daily driver because I haven't been able to bring myself to work on it in this cold...
Definitely do the cold start problem procedure already posted. Also, have your batts load-tested as these motors can do funny things if they are weak; make sure you split the batts and check them individually. If you still have the problem then I think the next possibility is a sticky injector or two that doesn't like the cold.
I'm not sure where you live, but #2 diesel shouldn't start to gell in temps warmer than -10*F.

Re: 7.3 wont start in cold anymore!
i had it plugged in all night, cranked it this morning and it loped alittle and died. tried again and it ran rough but eventually evened out and warmed up. let it get to temp, drove it to school and it was fine. left it up on a hill at the parking lot in the sun all day (35 out today) and when i got back in it fired up right away but began loping and died. eventually got it going and got home..
than i let it run when home and took it for a spin around the block and noticed that the oil pressure gauge shot down when i put it under load quickly.. which means the HPOP correct.. now i kind of got nervous because thats really not to good of a sign. checked the oil and im really low.. probly 3-4 quarts low. noticed the oil cap was leaking and i last checked the oil about 1k miles ago. so im definitely low.. i know oil makes or breaks an engine and im kicking myself in the nuts for not checking that more frequently (but im used to gas engines... it doesn't smoke or leak so i didn't even think about oil..and it has low pressure because the gauge hasn't moved at all.. im going to do an oil change on it and put maybe the 5w30 or whatever you guys run in the cold with a new filter and all.. im guessing this is my problem.
i feel as if i ruled out the gelled fuel because i let it sit in the sun all day, and it did it.. plus, just because i plugged it in last night doesn't mean that heats the fuel either and it started this morning.
Re: 7.3 wont start in cold anymore!
I'd change to a lighter weight oil and get the correct amount in there. Maybe check the hpop resevior before you cold start the truck and see if it's low, could have a drain back issue or even a weak hpop.
Sounds oil/ injector related based on your symptoms. Loping and dieing after its already started doesn't sounds like one of the two of those if a fuel issue is ruled out.

Glow plugs are touchy if they have been abused i.e. batteries without enough juice also they need AMP's around 1750 thats alot of juice for plugs and cranking just plugging in for a couple off hours is enough to help. Also try using power service instead of diesel clean I've used powers service for years in all my big rigs, and ultra low sulpher fuel can't be cut with kerosine anymore.(you can yourself get five gallons of CLEAR kero don't use dyed add it to your tank) good luck
Re: 7.3 wont start in cold anymore!
Follow the suggestions above.
Make sure your gpr and glow plugs are working
Your fuel should be alright, if it was gelled it wouldnt have any power or simply wouldnt start.
Make sure your block heater is working, should just tell by touching.
I use 5w-40 Rotella synthetic in the winter and starts like its 70*out.
3-4 qts in 1,000 miles? To me it seems like alot. Hows your blow by with the oil cap off and engine running?

110 volts
Easy to use, this roaster makes an excellent gift!
Notes from Casey "The Coffee Guy":
You have probably taken a look at all the different roasters we offer and your brain is spinning looking at all the features and options. I'll make it simple on you. The Nesco roaster is a nice little unit. It takes a little more space on the counter and takes a little longer to roast (about 20-30 minutes as opposed to the i-Roast's 10-20 or the Freshroast's 10-15), but it doesn't produce any smoke. It's a bit quieter too. I recommend this if you are getting it as a gift for someone who has never roasted before, or if you like the idea of having no smoke in the roast - just wonderful roasted coffee aroma in the air. One downside is that a little chaff (a fine paper-like skin that comes off the bean as it roasts) is left in the roasted beans. You can get it out by walking outside and blowing into the roasting chamber after a roast. The chaff comes right out.

By Aris Barkas, Niki Bakouli/ email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Simone Pianigiani decided to leave Siena in the summer in order to build a winning team in Istanbul for Fenerbahce/ Ulker. That was the plan, but it didn't work. Fenerbahce just managed to qualify to Euroleague's Top16 and started the second phase of the competition with a 0-4 record.
Pianigiani's team can't live up on the court to the big expectations of the front office, doesn't produce attractive basketball and the match of the Italian coach with the Turkish club is clearly not made in heaven. The fans want him removed and that possibility can't be excluded. However, the 2+1 years contract of Pianigiani is a big obstacle in such a decision, since he has to be paid handsomely in order to leave and also it's a risk to sack without having found a replacement in the middle of Euroleague's Top16. On the money issue, according to his contract Pianigiani at this point has to be paid 4 million US dollars in case of a premature termination. As Eurohoops learned, the team was willing to compensate him by instalments, but he wants his first payment to be one million US dollars.
According to Eurohoops sources all around Europe, Fener during the last days contacted at least three coaches, but none of them was ready to take over the team under the conditions that were proposed. So, until further notice, Pianigiani stays on the bench of the team.

Government agencies brace for Holy Week exodus-A A +A
Friday, April 11, 2014
THE government placed agencies responsible for maintaining peace and security on heightened alert in anticipation for the influx of travelers this Holy Week.
In a media briefing, Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson, Chief Superintendent Reuben Theodore Sindac said around 148,000 PNP personnel were deployed nationwide to ensure the public's safety most especially in the places where large number of people are expected to flock during the Lenten season such as in parks, malls, churches and transport terminals.
"They (PNP personnel) were not allowed to take a leave unless for an emergency reason," he said.
The police personnel will also roam around the villages and residential areas since families are expected to "go out of town for a vacation."
The Filipinos take advantage of the opportunity to go to their provinces or to go on a vacation during the Holy Week.
Sindac said police will conduct mobile and foot patrol in the areas identified the "place of convergence."
He also advised the public not to update their whereabouts on the social networking sites to avoid being tracked by the criminal elements.
"I-post nalang nila after their vacation or pag pauwi na sila kasi mamaya kapitbahay lang naman nila ang mga balak na masama sakanila lalo na pag iniwan nila ang bahay nila na walang tao. Maaaring magtake advantage ang mga masasamang loob ngayon na karaniwan ng mga pamilya ay aalis sa kani-kanilang mga bahay para magbakasyon," he said.
PNP Public Assistance Desk (PAD) will be available in places such as churches, malls, plazas and transport terminal while Motorists Assistance Desk (MAD) will be installed in the roads wherein most motorists are expected to pass through such as in North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and South Luzon Expressway (SLEX).
PNP Highway Patrol Group spokesperson Senior Superintendent Elizabeth Velasquez said 80 percent of their members will be deployed to take charge in assisting the travelers during and after the Holy Week.
Velasquez, however, reminded the vacationers, particularly the drivers to always check "B.L.O.W.B.A.G.S." which means brake, light, oil, water, battery, air, gasoline, and self.
"Ang pinaka-mahalaga diyan ay 'yung 'self' kasi for example mainit 'yung ulo nung driver or nakainom, more likely na maaksidente sila kaya dapat nasa mabuting kondisyon ang isang tao particular na ang driver kapag mag-babiyahe," she said.
For motorists' assistance, the public may contact PNP-HPG through 090637445375 or 092057844305.
The PNP will be on heightened alert until after the Easter Sunday, April 20.
Meanwhile, amid the series of road mishaps which usually involve passenger buses, Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) Undersecretary Dante Lantin said they are doing their best to inspect and strain the buses, particularly those travelling to the provinces before passengers continue to grow in numbers in accordance to the occasion.
Earlier, Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas II directed the provincial governors, city and municipal mayors and barangay chairmen to come-up with proper courses of action, as early as possible, in order to anticipate the expected heavy movement of people from different places, "putting their safety as a top priority."
Roxas also ordered the deployment of barangay tanods (village watchmen) who can serve as force multipliers and assist the members of PNP in keeping peace and order in their areas of jurisdiction, as well as in making sure that traffic is well-managed, clean-up operations are being conducted in all recreation areas, religious locations and transport terminal and to manage well the collection and disposal of garbage before, during and after the season of lent.
Meanwhile, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) placed all its units on heightened alert as shipping passengers start troop to major ship terminals across the archipelago for Holy Week vacation.
Commander Armando Balilo, Coast Guard Public Affairs chief said that their security personnel and their medical teams were placed along the passenger's assistance booth on Thursday in anticipation for the influx of sea passengers.
Balilo said that it is customary for the agency that they beef up the security less than a week before the said occasion.
"Coast Guard units are also advised to ensure that all maritime activities are monitored 24/7 and that all PCG personnel and assets are ready and prepared to respond to any maritime incident," Balilo said.
He added that they have directed ship inspectors and Coast Guard K-9 teams to exercise extra vigilance in ports with random checks on passengers and luggage more than the usual. He also appeals for the patient understanding and cooperation of the passengers with regards to the tighter security steps enforced for the Holy Week and summer exodus to ascertain their travel safety.
The Coast Guard spokesman mentioned that as per coordination with the ship owners and operators, passengers should be at the seaport at least three hours before departure time, avoiding restricted cargo such as flammable liquids and solids, corrosive materials, toxic and infectious substances, compressed gasses, radioactive materials and explosives to avoid search delays and inconveniences.
Passenger Assistance Center booths will be manned jointly by teams from PCG, DOTC, Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), and the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA), also with close coordination with the PNP.
The PCG, however, warned and discouraged the shipping passengers from patronizing "fly-by-night" or also known as "colorum" inter-island shipping vessels this Holy Week season.
Coast Guard commandant Vice Admiral Rodolfo Isorena, on Friday, advised the public especially the local and foreign tourist that will spend their summer break and Holy Week festivities on the provinces and major beach resorts across the archipelago on the risk of riding in an unregistered shipping vessels especially that huge volume of passengers are already pouring along the different port and ferry terminals since last week.
"We are monitoring the situation right now especially that thousands of passengers are already pouring along the port terminals to be with their love ones this summer season" he said.
The PCG chief said that this activity by some "opportunist" operators shouldn't be tolerated especially that there are risking the lives of their passengers.
"As far as we are concerned, those fly-by-night inter-island shipping vessels didn't have any insurance for their passengers and most of them have defective life rafts and life vests," Isorena added.
The PCG expected that these unregistered vessels will definitely appear this season because this is an opportunity for them to earn since major shipping lines now have a hard time in accommodating the huge volume of passengers rushing along the different port terminals in the country.
"Most of the shipping lines reported to us that they are now already starting to accommodate high volume of passengers and based on data they have submitted to us yesterday, around 40 to 50 percent na ang itinaas ng mga pasahero nila ngayon bakasyon," the PCG chief said.
For any questions or urgent emergency calls during a certain voyage, Coast Guard Action Center (CGAC) hotline 0917-PCG-DOTC is open 24/7. (Sunnex)

(Jun 30, 2009) On May 8, 2009, Vietnam's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Pham Binh Minh, presented a report on the country's human rights status to the United Nations Human Rights Council. The Council, which met in Geneva, Switzerland, from May 4 to 15, conducts periodic reviews of human rights in each U.N. member nation. At the time he presented the report, Minh said that the Vietnamese government always protects and promotes human rights, and it views people as the ultimate objective and the driving force for national development policy. (Vietnam Makes Human Rights Report, VIETNAM LAW AND LEGAL FORUM, June 25, 2009, available at http://news.vnanet.vn/vietnamlaw/service.asp?CATEGORY_ID=1&SUBCATEGO
The report also stated that Vietnam took the obligation to prepare documentation for the Council seriously and intended to fully ensure human rights and extend international cooperation in the field. The report discussed Vietnam's achievements in establishing a full legal system to guarantee human rights. (Id.) Compiled over a period of two years, this was the first such report presented by Vietnam to the Council. Minh pointed out that since 1986, about 13,000 laws and related legal documents have been issued to protect civil and political rights in Vietnam and that the country has become a party to almost all existing international conventions on human rights as well as the 17 conventions of the International Labor Organization.

Development authority eyed in Grantville
by W. Winston Skinner
The possibility of a development authority for Grantville — one that might help spur development along U.S. Highway 29 — is being discussed.
Royce Bemis, a member of Grantville's Downtown Development Authority, talked with the city council about the concept. He said inspiration for the idea came both from a conversation he had with Councilman Barham Lundy and from a visit to Manchester in Meriwether County.
Many towns use development authorities to issue bonds and to undertake projects that create economic growth. The current Grantville DDA is limited in scope to projects that primarily impact downtown.
Bemis recalled talking with Lundy, who reminded him U.S. Highway 29 is the main corridor through Grantville — pointing out that development there would help the entire town.
Bemis also talked about a recent trip to Manchester and his visit with development authority officials there. Manchester's authority has bought, rehabbed and sold at least one building.
"It's making the town grow, and it's generating revenue," Bemis said.
Bemis said he sees great potential for Grantville. "Grantville has a big secret, and that secret is strategic location," he said. In addition to Highway 29, the city has an Interstate exit and a railroad line in the city.
The town offers great options "for jobs and for industry," he said. "Very few people have gone out and tried to promote Grantville."
He noted Senoia has set up a citywide authority in addition to their downtown board.
"Senoia is bringing in jobs. They're bringing in commerce, and they're bringing in a lot of traffic," he said. There is no reason Grantville should not "be able to compete with the Hogansvilles and the Senoias," he added.
"The more we draw attention to Grantville, the more people will" visit the city and "see Grantville has potential to develop," Bemis said.
"The idea of getting the community more involved in the development of our city is an element we need to add," Councilman Johnny Cooks said. He said he would like to see a community advisory board comprised of residents from throughout the city to advise the council on public safety and possible improvements.
"I'd like to commend the council for their approach on the citywide development authority. We need to be focused on more than just downtown," Mayor Jim Sells.
Several items on the agenda related to the DDA:
• DDA member Robert Allen talked with the council about a commemorative brick project that would be modeled on a similar project in Manchester. The council approved the proposal.
• Councilwoman Rochelle Jabaley encouraged attendance at the Big Band Barn Dance on Saturday. The event, sponsored by the DDA, will be held from 7-11 p.m. at the historic freight depot.
Night Train Swing Band, featuring soloist Karin Williams, will be performing. Tickets are $10 for adults, and children are admitted free.
Tickets may be purchased at Z is for Zombies and Grantville Package Store.
Jabaley said music from the 1940s-1980s will be featured. "I hope this will be well attended," she said. "It will be a good time to sit down and have a good time with your friends and neighbors here in Grantville."
• Rebecca Campbell of the DDA presented a check for $1,200 from the DDA to officials from Glanton Elementary School. The money — for school art program supplies — was raised at the Kid-A-Palooza event on Aug. 3.
The size of the gift is "a testament to what the community thinks about Glanton Elementary," Sells said.
Cooks told DDA members, "I'm very impressed with the things you're doing."

Many celebs are known for being covered in tats -- Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, David Beckham and Rihanna all have obvious ink -- but did you ever think prim little "Rachel Berry" would have 14 tattoos?
"Glee" star Lea Michele dazzles on the cover of the March issue of Prestige magazine, sporting a sexy bejeweled jumper, windblown hair and smoky eyes. The 24-year-old star admits in the mag that she has 14 tattoos, but goes on to dispel the notion that this fact makes her a badass.
"I do have 14 tattoos, but I also do come home every single night and watch reality TV with my cat," she jokes.

Is it OK to clean dog toys with bleach?
- Deb F.
Just like virtually any chemical, natural or man-made, bleach can be harmful if used inappropriately or if an exposure to a large enough concentration occurs. Because of this, Deb, it is important to follow instructions for use in order to help avoid damage to what you are cleaning, and to ensure that a potentially harmful exposure does not occur.
The bottom line is this—disinfecting your nonporous dog toys with a properly diluted bleach solution, followed by a thorough rinsing and airing out to remove any residue, would not be expected to cause harm to your pet. However, if you prefer to use an alternative without the potential for harsh fumes, you can try using hot water along with a mild liquid dish soap, such as Dawn or Palmolive, to clean your dog's toys.

Jess is not capable of staying in one place for long. She stayed in Texas until graduating high school. Upon graduating she moved to Vermont. While in Vermont she attended Norwich University, the Military college of Vermont. While she was there, she met her two bridesmaids. After that first year, she transferred to University of Texas in Arlington for a semester followed by the University of Massachusetts Lowell for the rest of her college career. Upon graduation in May of 2009, Jess began her Masters of Education degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston. She is now working at the West Suburban YMCA in Newton, MA as an Assistant Aquatics Director.
Schoon is a free spirit working in the entertainment industry. After finishing up a degree in Computer Science and Music from Bucknell University, he moved to San Francisco to work for the "great" Lucasfilm. He realized that neither the company nor being that far from home were all that great, and decided to move to the Boston area. He now works for 38 Studios, a video game company in Maynard, MA.
Jess and Schoon started out talking online in February. Neither was interested in a long term relationship, each having come out of one recently. A mere week after they started talking they were set to have their first date, but… Schoon was stood up. Another week after the supposed-to-be first date, Schoon had another date with another girl on Friday night, and Jess had another date with another guy earlier in the day.
Their first date was a drizzly February night. Jess walked up to Schoon with his unnecessarily large umbrella, meeting up for a dinner of Korean food, followed by a long walk through the bustling metropolis of Maynard, MA. The date continued with a walk about the town, culminating in Jess conquering the Mighty Snow Hill of Monster's Parking Lot (complete with Schoon throwing said umbrella as a javelin – show-off). Once the walk conquest had been completed, they decided to take in a movie and part ways.
Upon arriving to her apartment in Boston, Jess found a message already waiting for her on the interwebs. She had been invited on another date with him the next day. Cooking was the goal of that day. Since then the two of them have gone as few days as possible without seeing each other at all, nigh inseparable.
After having both come out of long term relationships that ended due to differences in thinking, the important conversations began nearly immediately. The church hunt started two weeks into the relationship, philosophical theories, money mindsets, and life goals were all discussed.
It was not all a serious matter though. Walking around Quincy, walking all over Boston, work outings, and rock climbing were all activities the two shared. Goofiness was in abundance between these two. Both were becoming more of themselves than they had been in a very long time. The ability to truly be themselves was a strong contributing factor to how well they meshed.
At five weeks and three days into the relationship, Schoon asked Jess a few questions and summed them up with, "I guess that leaves only one question". Jess being impatient and nosy, pushed for more. "Will you marry me?" was the response. After an immediate response of yes, Jess just-as-immediately retracted her answer until approval from her father had been received.
Eventually, a ring was chosen while the two were in North Carolina at the Schoonmaker clan's beach house for 4th of July. Following this the ring had to be made, and once it was received the planning process began. The first step that was decided upon was the pastor from the church they had chosen together would be the one to marry him if he agreed.

American guitar maker Paul Reed Smith will present a custom-made electric guitar to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in The Sackler Wing's Temple of Dendur, followed by a demonstration of the instrument by legendary guitarist John McLaughlin.
In 1985, Paul Reed Smith founded PRS Guitars, and in that time his instruments have become well-known for their beauty of finish, as well as the high-quality wood used to build them. PRS has become one of the most successful and influential guitar companies in the world, and Smith's instruments have been used by many of the most prominent electric guitarists of the last quarter century.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is pleased to add this guitar—representing one of the most important contemporary guitar makers—into its encyclopedic collection of musical instruments.

How EDI ASNs Enable Direct Store Delivery (DSD)
Just as with the Cross-Docking and Drop-Ship processes described in earlier posts, the ASN document is an important component of successful direct store delivery (DSD) programs.
In the highly competitive retail market it is vital that there is always stock on-hand to meet consumer demand. The direct store delivery (DSD) model, which is seeing increasing adoption, enables a retailer to order goods for delivery directly to its stores, bypassing the retailer's distribution centers and thereby shortening delivery time. This is especially important for perishable items, such as fresh produce and bread, when delays in shipment may mean shorter shelf life. It is also heavily used for items purchased on impulse, such as sodas, wine, snacks and crackers. The use of electronic communications between the retailer and its DSD suppliers helps ensure the smooth flow of accurate and timely data along with fast product delivery leading to an overall efficient DSD process.
So, what is the role of the ASN in the DSD process and how does it help?
Let's use the example of a soda company that delivers pallets of soda to its retailers using DSD processes.
First, the soda vendor picks an order at its warehouse and prepares the pallets for shipment. Next, the vendor affixes a UCC-128 barcode to the pallet. This is a code that provides information about the items, quantities on each pallet, as well as the number of pallets to be delivered. Then the soda vendor sends an ASN document containing the details of the shipment – including all the data from the barcode – to the retailer's headquarters business system.
Headquarters immediately forwards the ASN to the specific stores, enabling the stores' receiving systems to "know" about the deliveries in advance of their arrival. Use of the ASN is ideal for vendors whose goods are not highly perishable, are shipped in full cases and can be pre-ordered. (The ASN is not used in "spot-sale" DSD scenarios in which the truck driver for the DSD vendor has inventory on the truck and determines what merchandise needs replenishment based on what's left on the store shelf.)
The use of the ASN streamlines the efficiency and accuracy of the receiving process at the retailer's back door. Instead of having highly-paid, hourly employees perform a slow, error-prone, manual check-in process in which they verify the quantities of items received, identify any discrepancies and record them, the receiver can simply scan the barcode on each pallet and confirm that it matches the ASN. This reduction of receiving time by as much as 60%, according to a study by the Grocery Manufacturers Association, "Unleashing the Power of DSD," is a win/win for both the retailer and the DSD vendor. Now, the goods can be delivered to the store shelf much faster than ever. This in turn provides better customer service, reduces the likelihood of lost sales due to stock-out and increases turnover. That means more revenue for both.
So, how do you optimize ASN's and DSD?
- Electronic Purchase Order Collaboration – enable 100% of DSD vendors or distributors to receive electronic purchase orders. Large companies may be enabled via traditional EDI, while small and medium-size businesses may be enabled using other technologies, like web forms.
- Advance Ship Notice (ASN) and Bar Code Labels – enable 100% of DSD vendors or distributors with the capabilities to send ASNs via EDI or web forms. Look for solutions that also allow you to generate and print the bar code labels for shipments.
- Data Quality Management – The ASN is one of the most complex supply-chain EDI transactions. Look for a service that includes configurable rules that can ensure that every message is validated for both standard- and customer-specific information.
