97 F350 Auto 4x4 Hub Problem
I have a 1997 F350 with auto locking hubs and the 4wd has never worked since I purchased the vehicle back in April of last year. This has become a major problem, since we have had ice/snow storms back to back all winter this year.
I was told that all that it needed was to probably pull the auto hub apart and regrease it, because the grease gets old and cakes into the hub so badly that it won't engage. Therefore, this week I did exactly that, I pulled the hubs into pieces cleaned them thoroughly and then regreased them. However, in this process, I noted that one of the pieces in the hub appeared to have abnormal amounts of wear. I have been calling it a cam, but I'm not sure if that is the proper terminology since I cannot find a parts breakdown anywhere for this particular hub.
The way that I understand the hub works, this "cam" is rotating all the time when the hub is not locked and then when the front axle starts rotating, it will push this "cam" backwards and thus locking the hub. If you know ANYTHING about these hubs, please look at the attached pictures and let me know if this is abnormal wear. I can't imagine that the teeth on this gear would be unsupported like this. I believe that this cam is so badly worn that the when it moves backwards, it will not push the gear below it into place. I can make them lock by hand by pushing on it hard, but feels like the gears are only barely grabbing. Could this particular part be my problem?
Also, what are my options? I know that 90% of the people I talk to will recommend chunking the auto hubs and going with a set of Warn manual hubs. I may very well do that, but are there any other cheaper alternatives? I've also heard the suggestions of finding some auto hubs at a junk yard and pulling the parts out of them (hoping they are in better shape...). Any other ideas?
Thanks for any advice,
I too had a problem with my 97 F350 auto hubs. One of them got water inside (probobly before I bought the truck) and rusted, destroyed one side of the auto locking hubs. I replaced them with manuals ($400). The other side however was in great shape...well greased. I looked everywhere to find replacement parts with no luck (Ford, internet). I still have all the parts from the conversion...if you are interested maybe we can work something out.
my .02...i think youd want to pull the hub assy off repack your bearings and clean out the inside of that hub before all them metal shavings get inside your wheel bearings....that could turn into an expensive problem
My hubs on my 97 250 went out over the summer and I replaced them with warn manuals. Superwinch makes a set for our trucks and they are a little cheaper if you want to go that route. I agree with powerstroker1488 that you could try and re-pack everthing and see how it works out. As for the wear of the gear it looks like there is some pretty good wear on the face of the gear but I cant really say for sure because I pulled the autos out and didnt really look at them. If there is wear in there I would be careful about them cause the small half moon shaped key in there and if it breaks there is nothing to prevent the spindle nuts from backing off and then you'll lose your tire. That's what happened to mine. The part of the key that goes in the slot on the spindle broke off and the spindle nuts were three threads from coming off before I was able to get stopped. Very scary.
I too had to do the Warn replacement deal...
I used the less expensive Warn Standards, instead of the spendier ones, only difference I could determine was the use of plastic for the part you actually turn to lock-unlock...I would have gotten the other ones, but thats all they had, and I needed them NOW, as the 5er was stuck inna sand wash ...don't ask....*SIGH* .....
straight forward change out, pull the old ones off, toss over right shoulder, clean gunk outta hub, do NOT grease the new ones, they come pre-greased ....install them /Per the included instructions (very good instructions) be sure to check the "In-Out clearance" ... mine had plenty, NO adapter needed, just the hubs....and away ya go... quit foolin' with those auto hubs, they are JUNK.
and if you want all the parts in your front end drivetrain to keep working, I suggest you get that thing into 4 wheel drive for about 15 miles a month ( on dirt or gravel road, not pavement ) this will warm up the u-joints etc and lubricate them...... now you have an excuse to go to the brush
I have never had or heard of a positive "Auto-locking" 4x4 experience with Ford factory hubs. there's a reason super dutys still have lock out and the smaller f-150 type hubs still have several reputable problems. my uncle's 2005 f150 this past summer had his front right hub engage at 60mph!!! obviously not such a common problem. nevertheless, upgrading to Warn lockouts eliminates for plastic components in the hub and overall have a longer life span than auto locks. hope this helps. good luck
Ford makes it. International shakes it!

The UK's largest stockist of artificial grass
Before ordering also consider any access issues you might have at the installation address, for example if access is through the house, can a 4m roll of artificial grass be carried through without being bent or folded?
The drawing above shows a typical lawn shape. The key to selecting the correct quantity of artificial grass is to understand that the pile of the artificial grass surface must always be kept in the same direction. The temptation to turn one piece of the artificial grass 90 degrees to the other is the most common mistake when ordering and fitting. If this was done it would cause you to have a poor join which would be visible from all directions. It would also show a colour variation.
As the drawing shows, for a lawn like this it would be best to draw the shape of the garden onto graph paper, drawing it to scale, so you are then able to work out the best way to lay the artificial grass. When you are working out your requirements try to keep in mind the widths of the artificial grass (2m and 4m) and decide which is the most economical way to cover the area, remembering that waste from some areas may cover small areas that extend away from the main area.
One thing you may have noticed is the white sizes are larger than the drawing measurements, as we would always recommend ordering slightly over your requirements allowing for minor size discrepancies and trimming for joins.
The two examples above are the same garden designs, the only difference being the left image has a cut out in the top left, this could be a shed, wall or steps. Although this area does not need covering in artificial grass you would still have to buy the same quantity as the image on the right.
One thing to note is that if the wall, shed or patio dropped below the red line in the centre of the garden (red line shows 4m mark from the bottom edge), you would be able to measure from the right hand side of the garden up to the edge of the patio, shed or wall, reducing the total you would have to order.
Also the drawing shows a pond but again this would be ignored when measuring the area. Only if the obstruction were a large proportion of the area would you work out each section around the obstruction. This would take extra time and use more adhesives with the risk of seeing joins, so always try to cover the area with the minimum amount of joins and when possible put the joins on the shortest lengths.
This area would require two pieces 4m x 5.1m and 5.1m of join tape. We would also recommend 2 tubes of adhesive to do the join. If you need help on deciding the quantity of adhesive and tape you require please contact our office on 01572 768208 or email email@example.com.
This next image above shows a lawn that looks similar to the image at the top of the page, but with one major difference. The piece at the top right is 2m wide and the lower piece is 3m tall, this gives you two options to lay this garden one approx 30sqm and the other using 28sqm.
The diagram shows the principle way to install the grass using a 4m x 5m and a 4m x 2m (28sqm) and having only one join. The other method is to use a 2m x 7m roll to run along the top, left to right and then a 4m x 3.9m roll to cover the lower section. Always ensure the grass is running in the same direction. This would need a 3.9m join and use approx 2sqm extra than the other method. This demonstrates how even on a simple lawn there could be a number of ways to install so always double check you have measured the best way for your project.
The drawing above shows a circular lawn area, this could be surrounded by soil, slabs or edging stones. To work out what you require, measure across the widest part of the circle to work out the diameter. This example measures 3.8m across therefore a piece 4m wide by 3.8m long would be needed as the rolls are only available in 2m and 4m widths. We would also recommend when you order to add a little extra on the length to ensure it fits.
If the circular lawn were a 6m diameter this would require a piece 4m wide by 6m long and a piece 2m wide by 6m long, this could then be joined on site. Note: when joining, measure the width of each roll delivered to ensure you know how much you have extra on each roll to allow for trimming when completing the join. You would also need to order 6m of join tape and 2 tubes of adhesive.
On a 5m diameter circle you have two options to cover the area. Either the method above using a 4m x 5m and 2m x 5m to make a 6m wide and you would have 5sqm of wastage (as a 5m width is only required), however this option only requires one join.
The other method is to purchase a 4m x 5m and a 2m x 2.6m this piece would then be cut down its length and joined end to end providing a piece 1m x 5.2m. This would then be joined to the 4m wide roll. This is the more complicated option to complete and relies on both joins being perfect. We would only recommend this on large circles where wastage can become costly.
This drawing shows a lawn that is very common in city terrace houses. Although the lawn has curves on both sides all you would do is measure the width at the widest point of the lawn (left to right) remembering to measure in a straight line even if the widest part is further up the garden.
As this lawn is under 4m in width you would simply order 4m wide x length, which in this case would be a 7.4m allowing for a little extra. If the widest point left to right were 5.9m you would order a 4m wide and a 2m wide roll by the required length of the lawn area.
Note: if the lawn was 5m wide x 7.3m long, we would recommend you use two pieces 4m wide by 5m long and once joined would provide a piece 5m x 8m. Although the joins would be left to right rather than front to back this would mean you have smaller joins and more manageable pieces to position in your garden.

How to: Give Boring Closet Doors an Inexpensive, Architectural Makeover
When Janet Lee first moved into her tiny studio apartment, it was a blank box of white walls and neutral parquet floors. As a renter, she wasn't able to add any actual architectural details for visual interest, so she faked the look by bringing plenty of depth to her bland folding closet doors, creating an inexpensive and removable solution that anyone can do at home. The trick? She used super low-cost canvas stretcher bars from the art supply store (30¢ a foot) and attached them with 3M adhesive strips ($3.99). Since the stretcher bars already come with mitered corners, building the frames is super simple, with no tools or sawdust required.
Janet's project comes from YouTube's SPACEStv home and design channel, and their new series called "Tiny, Eclectic, Amazing Spaces," which profiles people who are living large in small spaces.
In the first episode, Janet Lee, DIY interior designer and author of the recently released small space living book, Living in a Nutshell, shares her unique design solutions:

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Lee County Commissioner's private plane, which has been a source of controversy, recently flew to a city eight minutes away by air, Fox 4 has learned.
Lee County gained control of a propeller plane in a drug raid nearly 20 years ago. Since then, it's been used to shuttle commissioners and staff to meetings and events around the state.
"I think there are other ways to provide transportation," said Commissioner Larry Kiker.
Kiker thinks the cost of running the plane - $85,000 a year - is too steep. The majority of the other commissioners disagree and are keep the propellers spinning.
Fox 4 checked to see where the plane's been flying. According to flightaware.com the plane flew to Labelle which is eight minutes away. There were also two round trips to Tallahassee in 48 hours, a flight to Hollywood, Fla. all in the past two weeks.
Fox 4 reached out to the county and Port Authority.
"We're looking at the Flight Aware Web site," said Fox 4 reporter Warren Wright. "And we're just trying to figure out why the plane went to Labelle."
No one had an answer and said they would get back to us.
In the meantime, Fox 4 asked around and talked to commissioners and concerned citizens who attend commissioner meetings on a regular basis.
"I think people really want to make sure that we're spending every single penny and every single nickel in the the very best way we can," said community activist Paige Raush. "Because the money just isn't there like it has been in times past."
Kiker is also waiting to find out why the plane went to Labelle, along with the other flights for the past few weeks.
"It was a 3-2 vote to keep the plane at that point and time," said Kiker. "And, so, since I voted against it I won't be bringing it back up again. But I certainly hope someone does."
The county and Port Authority did not return our calls Wednesday regarding the eight minute flight to Labelle.
Fox 4 asked if it was maintenance, or an emergency landing, but couldn't get any confirmation.

According to the Wall Street Journal, New York City is on the verge of soliciting interest in some form of parking meter privatization.
In considering this, it is important to understand the nature of parking meters. Parking meters aren't a capital asset like a bridge or highway. Nor are they a real government service like garbage collection or parks. Rather, parking meters are an urban planning tool that cities use to manage access to precious on street real estate for the benefit of the city and neighborhoods. Because neighborhood business conditions are dynamic, and because the best rate to charge and even the best use of that real estate (which may not be parking) change over time, this makes parking meters an extremely bad fit for privatization in the style of Chicago.
Fortunately New York says that they are "not looking to sell the system" and that they will not relinquish control over setting rates. Those are both positives. While Chicago got it wrong, I think there is certainly plenty of scope for involving the private sector in the management of parking. For example, who cares who takes the quarters out of a meter? I sure don't.
Also, the private sector could potentially implement new technology better and faster. We are on the cusp of a sea change in parking management. One of the key rationales for parking privatization has been the political difficulty of raising rates. But a new system being piloted in San Francisco, embedding ideas from UCLA professor Donald Shoup, points a better way forward. The idea is to bring congestion pricing to parking, by letting the market decide the value of the spot. The computerized meters there dynamically vary parking prices to maintain 80% meter occupancy. People who want and need a spot can then always find one, but spaces don't go to waste. It gets the city council out of the business of setting parking rates, and depoliticizes them. There could conceivably be many other ways to both more efficiently manage parking and better deploy technology.
However, the devil is in the details. Private companies aren't in the business of making investments unless they get a return. So what do you promise them to invest in new technology? The WSJ quotes a NYC official as saying, "Our process has been to consider locking in the current performance, and, if it makes sense, transferring the risk to a third party." This sounds nice in theory, but to get someone to take on risk requires compensating them to do so. I always saw risk transfer as a key benefit of privatization, but through compensation clauses in contracts, it is clear very little risk is often transferred in these deals.
Thus beyond the concept of doing privatization right, there's the enormous focus that must be brought to bear on contracting. As I've come to discover, too many of these agreements are copy/paste jobs with clauses that really disadvantage the public. New York needs to do better. A key is to make sure the term is limited. I'd say anything longer than around seven years is inappropriate.
In that regard I'm sorry that former Deputy Mayor Steve Goldsmith is no longer around. He's someone who did many privatizations in Indianapolis nearly 20 years ago. While he's perhaps more favorable to parking meter privatization than I am, I think he appreciated the need to get the details right.
In any case, New York City is probably right to give this a look, but they should realize that they are playing with fire. More than anything else, the most important thing is to make sure the public of New York doesn't end up getting burned.

Catholic Preschool Boots Child Because Parents Are Lesbians
Mar 9th 2010 2:18PM You must be kidding. This is not a civil instance. It is a religious instance. Please remember that one of the basic tenants of our wonderful democratic republic is the separation of church and state...period! The Catholic Church's views regarding homosexuality have been clear for years, especially its views on homosexual unions (I did not say marriage). I agree with others like Cruisedoc who left responses to this issue. The child is a pre-schooler, not a regular school aged student. This is a private church-run school. If you don't like the religion, do not send your children to this school. If you want to send your children to an environment where homosexuality is precluded by civil law from being an issue, send them to public school. Boulder and Denver Counties are very liberal islands in an otherwise traditionally conservative state. There are plenty of opportunities for this homosexual couple to send their child to a public school when she is of age to attend Kindergarten. I also agree with some of the answers posted to the ignorant pseudo-Christian comments made. It is hard to believe that there are people so ill-read in the roots of their Christian faith that they consider the Catholic Church a non-Christian sect. This is just too much. The history of the Jesus myth and of the Christian tradition did not begin with the origin of the U. S. based Protestant groups. We all live here together. Let's celebrate the wonders of a country where we can all live in harmony and learn from one another.

Batang Pinoy: Moulic wins gold, Ryan takes silver-A A +A
Monday, February 3, 2014
HOLY Cross of Davao College (HCDC) chesser Ella Grace Moulic captured a gold medal while Fil-British wrestler James Ryan salvaged a silver in the just-concluded 2013 Philippine Olympic Committee-Philippine Sports Commission (POC-PSC) Batang Pinoy National Championships in Bacolod City.
Moulic tallied five points to rule the six-round girls standard chess event at the Masskara Hall, 3rd Floor, New Government Center.
The top-seeded Davao City ace survived past Samantha Glo Revita of Pangasinan in the final round.
"One pawn down ko, nakulbaan ko kay kung mapildi ko matagak gyud ko sa top three. Pressure ko mudaug, must-win gyud, gipilit nako. Nalipay ko nidaug ko sa last round (I was one pawn down, I felt nervous that I won't make it to the top three if I lose. It was a great pressure on me. It was a must win for me. I'm glad that I won the last round)," Moulic told Sun.Star Davao in a phone interview on Monday.
Moulic said she really felt the need to win against Revita to ensure that she brings home a medal.
Had she settled for a draw or eventually lost the match, Moulic would have landed fourth and Revita will pocket the gold.
She added, "Maulaw ko kung wala koy madalang medal kay gisuportahan biya ko sa Holy Cross ug ni Councilor Leo Avila. Maayo nalang gyud nakabawi ko sa standard kay wala gyud koy nakuha sa blitz ug rapid (It would be embarrassing if I don't bring home any medal since Holy Cross and Councilor Leonardo Avila III supported me. It's just fortunate that I recovered in the standard having not won any medal in the other events)."
She then thanked the Lord for giving her such a talent, Avila and the HCDC management for bankrolling her stint in the Games.
Moulic's other victims were Ira Jade Tenirefe of Bacolod City, Woman Fide Master (WFM) Marie Antoinette San Diego of Dasmarinas City, Jesca Docena of Bohol and Rica Rose Gabales of Bacolod City. Moulic lost to second-seeded Shania Mae Mendoza of Sta. Rosa, Laguna in their fourth round encounter.
Revita, for her part, edged fellow 4.5 scorers Mendoza and San Diego via superior tiebreaks to take the silver. Mendoza took the bronze.
Meanwhile, Ryan copped the boys -66 kgs bronze medal in wrestling competition.
Ryan's camp tried to contest the decision of his silver finish when he should have won the gold.
"Gitikasan daw sila sa point system. Nag complain daw sila pero wala nay mahimo kay puro taga Manila ang naa sa lamesa. A bit sad daw si James (He was cheated through the point system. They tried to complain to no avail since table officials were mostly from Manila. James was a bit sad)," Ryan's mother Fe, who was in United Kingdom during her son's competition, said in a Facebook chat conversation.
Ryan's parents funded his trip from the United Kingdom to Bacolod City. Davao City riders Brylle Chavez Cocjin and Jayson Caceres earlier won the gold and silver, respectively, in boys mountain bike event.

Focus on Treaties for Native American Heritage Month
FEATURE STORY During the month of November, the United States commemorates National Native American Heritage Month, which recognizes the rich culture and historical importance of the indigenous peoples who first settled this land. Many events taking place during National Native American Heritage Month, such as Minnesota's "Why Treaties Matter" traveling exhibit, honor the different tribes who have shaped this country while acknowledging the challenges that Native Americans have faced and their complex relationship with the United States. READ MORE NEED TO KNOW For nearly 100 years, from 1778 to 1869, the United States negotiated treaties with Native American nations. In this section, an introductory essay provides an overview of the history and significance of the treaty making process, and a large selection of supporting reference entries and primary source documents offer students a unique opportunity to enhance their understanding of Native American treaties. READ MORE EXAMINE In what ways do treaties negotiated long ago affect the lives of Native Americans today? Find answers to this question by exploring the ongoing case of the Cherokee freedmen, former slaves (and their descendants) owned by the Cherokee. This activity encourages students to test their knowledge of treaties and develop critical thinking skills by analyzing a key primary source document and reading supporting essays related to Native Americans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction.

You simply cannot get around in Holland without a bank account. Most importantly, you need one in order to receive your salary. Furthermore, you will need one to rent or buy accommodation, pay for gas and electricity, getting a phone line, and many other necessities.
EU citizens need a valid passport and "proof of address" in order to open a bank account. Some banks may, in addition, ask for proof of work and a Sofi-number (Social Fiscal Identification number), and even proof of "residence permit" application. Non-EU citizens are sometimes requested to bring proof of registration with the foreign police in addition to the above.
Choosing a bank
The largest banks in the Netherlands are the ABN-AMRO, ING, Rabobank, Postbank, Fortis and SNS. The Postbank used to be state owned, it was privatised and is now owned by the ING Bank, but you still find Postbank branches in Post offices.
Commissions are quite similar in all banks. The Postbank is slightly cheaper than the others, but you will have a lower level of service and longer waiting times as the branches are in the Post Office. Most banks have good internet banking facilities. Your best bets are ABN-AMRO, ING, Rabobank, and the Postbank.

Arthur L. Bloom
Geomorphology: A Systematic Analysis of Late Cenozoic Landforms
2004; Waveland Pr Inc; 1577663543
Geomorphology is an eclectic subject, drawing from geology, physical geography, soils and atmospheric sciences, civil and environmental engineering, and still other fields. The third edition of Bloom's outstanding, classroom-tested text reflects the diversity of geomorphology, synthesizing its principles to make them accessible to students and practitioners from all disciplines. Bloom covers all of the major constructional and erosional processes of landform creation and change with separate sections devoted to glaciation and coastal geomorphology. Each set of processes and the resulting landforms are explained in a separate chapter, providing a comprehensive, nonmathematical overview. Profuse examples and illustrations represent landforms from around the world, avoiding the regionalism pervading other texts in the field.

Editorial Illustrations
(Working Title) "Believing in It"
(Working Title) "Fox Trail"
"Pill Splat"
Here are three illustrations to an article I read in Narrative Illustration. The article was about how anti depressants and placebos often have the same effect on patients, and how it's possible the only thing treating these patients is the BELIEF that the medication is making them better. It was a really interesting article. My pieces don't quite fit the mood of the article, but that's okay. At this time, I was feeling kind of crazy and really, really inspired to make these images, so much so that I was willing to completely dismiss the point of the assignment. Either way, here is what each image means...
The first image is supposed to represent the basic concept of the article: placebos and anti depressants have the same effect on patients. The blob guy on the left is supposed to represent anti depressants, and the blob guy on the right is supposed to represent placebos.
The middle image is supposed to represent how anti depressant companies are aware of these studies, but don't say anything. Instead, they continue to prescribe the medications. This piece really doesn't work meaning wise. I think the foxes kind of work, since they symbolize deceit/trickery, but the pill part does not. It looks too much like the blob guy is vomiting pills rather than sucking them up from the fox's back. But oh well, that's okay.
The third image is supposed to represent how maybe it's better that depressed patients don't know the "truth" about their medications, because if they did, it might erase their belief that they're being helped, and cause them to become depressed again. I decided to put little happy blobs in the pill drops. When the pills hit the ground (a.k.a. "the truth"), the blobs are no longer happy. :|

Whoa, we chose the same exact article! That's crazy. :DReplyDelete
I think yours are amazing. You have such creative ways of showing your concepts. The blob guy in the middle image does look more like he's vomiting than sucking them up, but everything else about it works great. And I just love your blob creatures! :)
Wow Steph, these are amazing. You're an inspiration.ReplyDelete
;-; Thanks so much, guys.ReplyDelete
And yeah! That is crazy! It must be because we're both named Stephanie. :|

Garcia 'unlikely' to get TRO before Jan. 10-A A +A
Thursday, January 3, 2013
CEBU CITY (Updated) -- The Office of the President violated the law when it ordered the suspension of Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia and caused irreparable damage, her lawyers said Wednesday.
These were two of the reasons the Garcia camp offered in their reply to the Court of Appeals (CA), which asked them to answer the Office of the Solicitor General's (OSG) opposition to stop her suspension.
Court sources said the CA's 12th Division decided to set oral arguments at 10 a.m. of January 10. After the debate next week, the case will then be submitted for resolution.
Governor Garcia has not left her Capitol office since December 19, when the Department of Interior and Local Government left a copy of her suspension order for six months.
Lawyers of the Liberal Party (LP), in a press conference Wednesday, said there is no longer any use for a temporary restraining order (TRO) because the suspension has been implemented and Acting Governor Agnes Magpale is functioning in the governor's place.
"A TRO pre-supposes urgency. They could have acquired it early on," lawyer Orvi Ortega said.
But in a separate press conference, lawyer Christina Frasco, the governor's daughter and lawyer, said that in asking for a TRO, the petitioner only needs to show three things: her clear and unmistakable right to be protected; a violation of that right; and prevention of an irreparable damage.
As regards her right, she said, Governor Garcia was elected for three terms. Irreparable damage was done when barricades were put up around the Capitol, when Sugbu TV and Sugbu News were closed, and when Magpale stated that the Province is "bankrupt."
Sources said present in Wednesday's deliberation of the CA were Justices Vicente Veloso, Aurora Jane Lantion, and Eduardo Peralta.
Malacañang has denied the speculation that politics was a factor in penalizing Garcia. The suspension is the result of her hiring consultants in 2010 without the consent of the Provincial Board (PB) and her cutting the budget of the office of then Vice Governor Gregorio Sanchez Jr.
"There is no basis to find grave abuse of authority on the part of Governor Garcia for the reduction of the vice governor's budget, because said reduction was approved and carried out by the Provincial Board, through its passage of the appropriations ordinances enacting the annual budget," the Garcia camp said in their reply to the OSG.
120-day limit
Opposing Garcia's petition to restrain her suspension, Solicitor General Francis Jardeleza quoted two Supreme Court decisions in 2005 and 2009, which said that the death of a complainant does not extinguish an administrative case against a public official.
It added that the budget for the contractual employees under the Office of the Vice Governor was removed for unknown reasons, but restored after Sanchez's death.
"This evokes malice and bad faith," said Jardeleza.
Garcia's lawyers pointed out that the suspension violated, among others, Section 66 of the Local Government Code, which provides that complaints similar to what was filed against Garcia should be investigated within 90 days.
In addition, Rule 10, Section 1 of Administrative Order 23 gives the President 30 days to decide on an administrative case against a public official.
Despite that 120-day limit, the Garcia camp has pointed out, the suspension of the governor was handed down 474 days after it should have been rendered. It is also timed to remove her from office in the last six months of her final term.
"They keep on saying that the governor should follow the rule of law," Frasco said, but yet the suspension order itself violates the Local Government Code and the Rules of Court because it proceeded even after the complainant died.
There was no valid substitution after Vice Governor Sanchez died, lawyer Frasco said.
"Well settled is the rule that failure to make a substitution pursuant to Section 17, Rule 3 of the Rules of Court is a ground for a dismissal of an action," the governor's reply read, quoting the Supreme Court in Rodriguez vs Jardin.
Frasco said the six-month suspension is too harsh, as the case does not involve corruption nor moral turpitude, but differences in interpreting the law.
She compared Garcia's case with that of Governor Jocel Baac, a Liberal Party member in Kalinga Province who, caught on video, stormed a state-run radio station and hit a broadcaster in the head with a microphone.
The Office of the President suspended Baac for only a month. Governor Garcia filed a petition for a review with a prayer for a TRO last December 21, two days after a copy of the suspension order reached her office. (OCP of Sun.Star Cebu/Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

My name is Suzanne Tanner and I am on a mission from
God ;-)
For most of my life I didn't know God personally. It was though in 1995 where I begun to have an awareness that Jesus Christ is real and I entered into a relationship with Him.
|Happy in Switzerland in 2011.
Since living in the US the Lord has definitely expanded my tent pegs. He has let me discover a lot of joyful areas like writing, teaching, photography, arts, crafts and even baking bread.
Being incarcerated himself, Mark has had a heart for prison ministry for a long time. That is why he founded New Heart Ministries International and I have now come alongside him. Together we love to serve with music and word in the prisons and wherever the Lord sends us.
|I am a dog lover!!!
May God continue to bless you.

If you are looking for home accessories that have staying power, look no further than hurricanes.
Hurricanes can be used in pairs or solo, dressed up or down, indoors or outdoors, day or night (mood lighting anyone?), and on just about any piece of furniture. We like to place them on coffee tables, console tables, dining tables, outdoor picnic tables, mantles, bars ... you name it and a hurricane might be the perfect thing for that spot. And, they are ageless. Hurricanes will never be out of style in our book, and they are easy to change by adjusting the contents - whether with a candle, sea glass, flowers or even simply empty.
We carry a variety of styles and vendors - from Simon Pearce and William Yeoward to more affordable lines. We also have both traditional and modern styles. Below are some ideas of how you can incorporate them into your home!

American Academic Criticizes US Policy on Iraq
Canada AM, February 14, 2003
|QUESTION: Before we tackle the future, let's just
look at the last ten days if we can. Colin Powell becomes a hawk. Bin
Laden is back. Tariq Aziz has an audience with the Pope. And Home
Depot is teaching people how to make safe rooms in their homes with
duct tape. Can you help us make sense of all of this?
CHOMSKY: First of all, as far as Colin Powell is concerned, he always was a hawk and he remains a hawk. As far as the duct tape is concerned, I don't know what John Ashcroft knows. But it has been predicted by US intelligence and other intelligence agencies that an attack on Iraq, or a planned attack on Iraq, is likely to increase the threat of terrorism in the West -- for pretty obvious reasons. Either as a deterrent or later on as revenge.
So what was anticipated by the intelligence agencies and by independent analysts is that a war with Iraq is very likely to increase the threat of terror, maybe substantial terror. And this threat is taken extremely seriously.
QUESTION: Well, if you look at all the polls, can you help us understand why does President Bush have such overwhelming support here in the United States, seemingly, and such overwhelming opposition in the international community?
CHOMSKY: For one thing, he doesn't have overwhelming support from Americans. It's true that if you look at, say, the international Gallup polls -- which have not been reported in the United States, but they're very instructive -- they do show overwhelming opposition throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America particularly, all of Europe, in fact. And they do apparently show greater support in the United States and other English-speaking countries, higher in the United States than elsewhere.
But those figures are pretty misleading. Because there's another difference between the United States and the rest of the world. And one has to take that into account. Saddam Hussein is despised throughout the world, including the region. And everyone would like to see him disappear from the face of the earth. But there is only one country in which he's feared. And that's the United States. And that's, incidentally, since September. If you take a look at polls since the drumbeat of propaganda about Saddam being a threat to our existence it began in September. Since then on the order of two-thirds of the public in the United States does genuinely believe that if we don't stop him today he is going to kill us tomorrow.
QUESTION: Well, what if George Bush and Tony Blair are right? What if they are welcomed in Iraq as the great liberators? Then would it have been worth it to go in?
CHOMSKY: Would it be worth taking the risk of maybe killing tens of thousands of Iraqis and maybe destroying the country, maybe increasing terrorist threats in the West, because possibly a best-case scenario would work out? That's hardly sane and rational behaviour.
You have to have really strong arguments for the use of violence. The burden of proof for the resort to violence is very high. That's true whether it's personal affairs or international affairs. The argument that "Well, maybe it will turn out fine," that's not an argument for the use of violence.
QUESTION: Well, tomorrow hundreds of thousands of people really around the world, but particularly here in the United States, are going to be protesting a possible war with Iraq. Some of them have told us that they have been accused of being unpatriotic. So, if Americans don't support a war then they are unpatriotic. And if the UN doesn't support a war, it's irrelevant. So I wonder, where does this put the whole question of democracy in the United States?
CHOMSKY: First of all, the talk about patriotism is ridiculous. There are two kinds of patriotism. There is the kind of patriotism which says you follow the orders of your leaders reflexively. And that is one kind. And there's a kind of patriotism that is based on concern and care for the people of the country and of the society, their fate, what's going to happen to my grandchildren and neighbors and so on. That's another kind of patriotism. That's the sensible kind. And, in that sense, the protesters are the greatest patriots. They are the ones who are acting in the benefit of the country as they see it and, incidentally, as I see it, and as most of the world sees it.
As for the UN being irrelevant unless it follows orders, and Europe being irrelevant unless it follows orders and so on, that's kind of an interesting phenomenon. It's an incredible and maybe unprecedented expression of hatred and contempt for democracy on the part of the Anglo-American leadership for which it's pretty hard to think of an analog.
QUESTION: And they would say, "What are you supposed to do, ignore all of the violations that you've seen Iraq commit?"

More RNC Coverage:
Tampa, Florida-- The convention kicks into high gear today after taking yesterday off because of Tropical Storm Isaac, which has since taken on the title of Hurricane Isaac.
LIKE: Follow us on Facebook for the latest updates on the 2012 RNC
Tonight's keynote address comes from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, but before he could even take the stage today, Christie made the rounds of the morning talk show circuit, denying a report he turned down an offer to be Mitt Romney's running mate because he didn't think Romney could win.
The report was in the New York Post.
On the CBS This Morning, Christie told anchors Charlie Rose and Norah O'Donnell he was the first governor to back Romney, "the first governor in America to endorse him, run around the country to 15 different states campaigning for him and raising money."
Full Coverage on the 2012 Republican National Convention from 10 News
Christie continued, "I didn't do that because I had nothing else to do. I did it because I believe the guy's the best guy to be president and can win. I not only believe Mitt Romney can win, I believe he will win, and I'm here because I support him and believe in what he's going to do for our country."
Christie admits he has a tough act to follow with tonight's keynote address, Ann Romney.
It will be her job to tell Mitt Romney's story and humanize him, by presenting Mitt Romney as more than a successful businessman and former Republican governor of a Democratic State--Massachusetts.

Many Americans Know Little about Mental Illnesses, Most Agree Knowing Warnings Signs Would Help, New Survey Shows
"The consequences of this gap in knowledge are quite serious," said Carolyn Robinowitz, M.D., secretary-treasurer and 2006 president-elect of the APA. "About one-in-five Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder during any given year. This means few families are untouched by a mental illness. All families will benefit from understanding how these disorders can impact their lives."
The survey also showed that one-third of Americans mistakenly think that emotional or personal weakness is a major cause of mental illnesses and almost as many think old age is a major cause.
In fact, research shows the causes of mental illnesses are genetic and environmental factors, traumatic events, and other physical illnesses and injuries that have psychiatric side effects.
Robinowitz noted that advances in medical science have led to new and innovative treatments that help people live full and productive lives. "Today we know more than ever about how the brain works and how it affects overall health," Robinowitz said. "We need to make sure Americans get the benefit of these discoveries, and that means dispelling myths and providing the facts so that people get the help they need. We really can help Americans have healthy minds so they can enjoy healthy lives."
Indeed treatments for mental illnesses are effective. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) recently found the rate of successful treatment for depression (70-80 percent) compares favorably to the rate for other chronic illnesses, such as heart disease (45-50 percent). The survey showed that many Americans do not understand that common mental illnesses can be successfully treated most of the time.
"Left untreated, mental illnesses can take an enormous toll on family life, the workplace, and society as a whole," Robinowitz said. Mental disorders comprise four of the 10 leading causes of disability in the
Additional Findings
- Psychiatrists are uniquely qualified to help: Eighty-seven percent say it is important to have a medical degree when it comes to being able to diagnose and treat mental illnesses.
- Stigma persists: Thirty-one percent of adults surveyed say they would not seek treatment because they fear what others may think.
- Mental health groups and the media can help with positive images: Almost two-thirds of adults surveyed say positive stories in the news media about mental illnesses and positive portrayals of people with mental illnesses in television programs and movies would have "quite a lot" or "some" influence in overcoming the stigma associated with mental illnesses.
"The most important point is for people to understand that mental illnesses are real and highly treatable," said Robinowitz. "Through the APA's 'Healthy Minds. Healthy Lives.' campaign, we are providing the most up-to-date, science-based information on common mental health concerns, warning signs, where to turn for help, and treatment options."
For professional help, people can turn to their primary care physician or a psychiatrist. As medical doctors, psychiatrists specialize in how the brain works. They are the only mental health practitioners who are trained in the biological workings of the mind and body.
May is Mental Health Month. Learn more by visiting the APA's consumer Web site at www.healthyminds.org.

Next-Gen iPad Could Have Light Weight Carbon Fiber Body [Rumor]
According to John Gruber from DaringFireball, next-gen iPad could feature a carbon fiber body instead of aluminum body. He also added that he only half-sure of it, so don't take this rumor too seriously. John Gruber also said that Apple has not changed anything in iPad 2 since January, and that he highly doubts a higher resolution iPad and inclusion of SD card slot.
Apple will announce iPad 2 on March 2. So now it just a matter of days before we know the truth.
