2000 Mazda 626 LX 4dr Sedan
I bought my 626 (5 speed) used in 2003. It had 58K miles on it. Today, I've racked up 293,000 miles on it. Yes, 293K miles, and the only major repairs were: replaced the clutch ($400), replaced front right axle ($80 part), and did other regular maintenance, like battery, tires, oil changes etc. The rear spoiler did seperate about 10K miles ago and the headliner inside the car ripped and is sagging. But the car is 15 years old. This has been the BEST car I've ever owned. It is still my daily driver. It is still fast and fun. I don't what I'm gonna do when and if it ever fails me. It's been a super great car!
Manual 5 speed is really quick and fun to drive. Gas mileage is 32mpg. Roomy.
i bought this car new in 5/00 with 16 miles.
since then, i now have over 281,000 miles on it and it's still running strong.
A/C replaced 2 yrs ago, front axles replaced last year and transmission is going out (5 sp man), but with almost all highway miles, i'm going to drive it into the ground.
otherwise, runs smooth, good pick up, comfortableand gets me there and back reliably!
happy enough that we bought a 2009 mazda 6 that my wife now drives around!
has been very reliable, comfortable, easy to drive around, maneuver and park.
ride is smooth - fair pick up for only an old 4 banger
the newly remodeled 2009 mazda 6 is a much better improvement - more room inside, better engine, quieter ride
hi, i had a 1993 mazda 626 a few year ago, i have to say it was a brilliant car, i had it 2 years and i never had any trouble with it.
I recently purchased a 2000 mazda 626 , which is about 10 year old.
I didn't expect to get a perfect car second hand , i knew it needed some work, i got a set of spark plugs, rear right hand brake caliber and an altenator belt.
I feel the same about this car as i did about my first one, its like a big tank, a big bird on the road, u really get noticed in it.
Its quiet, comfortable, and reliable.
I always wanted another 626 after my first one.
interior comfort , easy access to controls, pure luxury interior and exterior, love the power sunroof, , engine is very quiet, , just a good high spec car.
It doesn't look over fancy, which is why it looks classy on the road.
I recently bought this used car in February 3rd, and I drove till the 5th and the car broke down. Having no Acceleration when i was driving and when i pulled up to the side trying to re-start the vehicle it won't start. So i brought it to the Mechanics to repair the problem, they found out that the "Fuel Pump" was broken. So I got it repair and drive it for another 3 days the same problem appear. So I think this is not a good car unless you want to have as a back up. Right now if the car is fix, I'm still worry about driving this car around. Its like wasting money to buy a car that cannot drive.
The Aircondition is good...it cools in a minutes.
The car itself. The Machanics area.
This was my first car. My dad bought it new at the dealership and when he got a altima he gave this car to me. It is a very solid car. It has solid acceleration and good handling. I like to push this car to its limits. I have hit 120 in this car! Anyway the seats are very comfortable and supportive. The air conditioning works well and I think every single person that has been in my car has commented on the rotating air vents! The transmission is ok (I wish I had a manual). The design of this car is ok, I think its a little too round. The newer sixes look a lot nicer, but obviously this car is nine yrs old. Overall this is a good car
rotating air vents, reliability, seats, engine noise above 4k
more hp and torque!! obviously they did that in the new ones. i like the new design better too

Prezza looked like he was going to punch him…
Prezza looked like he was going to punch him…
Perhaps the most cringe-worthy moment, from a crowded field at Labour's manifesto launch, was when Ed had to beg members not to jeer and boo journalists:
It didn't work though, they were soon jeering Sky News.
Yet Ed confirms he would legislate to gag the press:
Presumably it means they will break up the BBC…
Gary Gibbon points out that Miller was pushed after her PPS's multi-vehicle pile up on Sky News. MacLeod went to pieces when confronted with her text message, revealed exclusively by Guido, citing a Leveson witch-hunt:
"I was told by one government source that Maria Miller's PPS's appearance on Sky News and her text message to Tory backbenchers saying the attacks on Maria Miller were a media witch-hunt were "the final straw." This "should never have been said," another government source said."
The wheels were off by the time discipline had collapsed and anger led to leaking.
Once again Maria Miller has tried to use the threat of the post-Leveson age to shut down her expenses scandal. Mary Macleod, PPS to the fatally wounded Culture Secretary, today texted Tory MPs begging for support. Again Miller's people have cited threats to press freedom. Mary Macleod said:
"I believe there is a media witch-hunt on Maria due to Levesen [sic]. How do you feel about it? Happy to answer any questions you may have. She would really appreciate your support. Many thanks Mary"
Too little too late, Guido fears.
Craig Oliver is in full denial mode after former Telegraph editor Tony Gallagher went after him on the Today programme, suggesting that the Downing Street spin boss cited Leveson when trying to shut down the Maria Miller story:
"It is entirely false to suggest that I tried to threaten him with Leveson in any way. The conversation I had with him was about the inappropriate doorstepping of an elderly man (Maria Miller's father)."
Gallagher has hinted to the Daily Politics that he has a tape. Craig emailed the show live to say "Tony is talking rubbish about me, and you can use that".
This is getting serious…
UPDATE: Gallagher has hit back: "it's almost as if Craig wants to make the story about him. It isn't. He is a human shield for Miller. He adds "Incidentally, I note there is no denial coming from Jo Hindley."
UPDATE II: No tape.
The Council of Europe has sent a delegation to the UK to monitor our "democracy". Embarrassingly the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities feel the need to talk to our very own press-gagger. At 16:30 this afternoon Sir Brian Leveson will meet a representative from Putin's party and a German socialist, who will no doubt love picking his brains. That's right, the delegation consists of Mr Alexander Uss, the United Russia Chairman of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Legislative Assembly and German Socialist Party Mayor of Rheine Angelika Kordfelder. Statutory legislation of the press has caught the eye of some interesting characters…
Sir Brian Leveson's clever strategy with his committee appearance was to stand on the Fifth (see Quote of the Day).
For the first long sequence of answers to Tory questions he confined himself to variations of "Quod dixi, dixi." In English, "Read the report, you lazy tossers!"
But he was happy to answer Labour's Ben Bradshaw as though he was being paid by the word.
Labour heads nodded sagely as he repeated his owlish judicialisms, and a chorus of Core Participants in reserved seats (two thirds of the public seating) chuckled supportively.
Tory Conor Burns wished the Inquiry had never been constituted. The criminal law could have cleared up the evils complained of.
Tory Tracey Crouch struck a spark. The three existing media regulators all had a different definition of "public interest". So, was it possible to design a regulatory regime without a single definition of this important principle?
We had got along for years without such a definition, Sir Brian observed.
Yes, but we'd also got on for years without a Leveson-compliant regulatory regime.
Sir Brian's decision not to engage in the cage-fight of public debate started to look understandable. He's not very good at it.
Philip Davies' audience enjoyed his impression of examining magistrate with his full array of contemptuous insinuations, nasty innuendoes and (best of all) insolent incredulity. Sir Brian didn't like it one little bit.
The details are too many for this sketch but the general idea was that their Bonking Barrister's Crafty Counsel's Plea was for More Sex, We're Solicitors! And Brian, the innocent old booby was in it up to his apricots.
Sir Brian doesn't realise how these things work. If politicians are given a stitch they'll eventually make a net.
As for not adding any kind of gloss on his report: "I should like to think the general public is sufficiently sophisticated to know what the general issues are."
Of course he'd also like to think the general public reads Le Monde, eats Sartre sandwiches and is saving up for a Chagal.
Rolf Harris was in the dock this morning, He was bailed and indicated he will be pleading not guilty, but had nothing to say to the media on the way out.
The trial starts in two weeks…
One for the diary.[…]
John Whittingdale has called Brian to give evidence as a witness to his CMS select committee. According to the Sun he's been kicking up a fuss about turning up, arguing that judges don't have to explain their position to MPs. […]

is this your first child? I think each is very different, with my first I had a smooth preg but with this one, I feel sick most of the day. I dont like the feeling at all but I keep telling myself as long as my baby is healthy I can make it through
I feel your pain...! At just under 7 weeks I'm throwing up more and more. But if its a good sign that the baby is doing well I will take as much as it can throw at me (which doesn't mean I won't complain about it!)

In an article to mark the start of Seachtain na Gaeilge (Irish Language Week) on Monday the Irish Times has asked ten people to describe their lives as Irish speakers. They include journalists and students drawn from places as far away as Ethiopia and Holland. The most interesting, and in a way the most honest, contribution is from the television presenter Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh who gives an insight into the experiences of a speaker of the indigenous Irish language in contemporary Ireland:
"I came to Dublin when I was 15 from a small Gaeltacht in Meath, and the Irish language wasn't cool at all. Then, crazy as it may sound, the Hothouse Flowers came on the scene, and it became cool – and then became uncool again when I was 18.
When I was a teenager the reaction was, and still can be, "Stupid language: what's the point?" Then the adult versions: "It was beaten into me"; "you're all mad 'RA-heads"; and my favourite, "You get a grant for everything."
My response is: I am so sorry, and that is all terrible, but guess what – I am the minority here, and, however difficult it was for you, it has been and still is a struggle just to respond to all of you. At times it's racist. Nobody ever calls it that, but no other culture would tolerate it. There has been a huge demise in the promotion of our language and Gaeltacht existence. I heard Paul McGrath during the week on radio, talking about the Irish language, and he was inspirational. Yet I would be scared to ask the people of Ireland [if they were] for or against the language. I fear it would be against. But, hey, I will battle on and wait for the next wave."
The irony that in modern independent Ireland the racism and discrimination that was once applied by our former English (and English-speaking) colonial masters to the Irish people as a whole is now applied by the English-speaking Irish against those they perceive as being Irish-speaking Irish.
Speak English, read English, write English – and apparently think English too…

"Absolutely, amazingly beautiful in every way."
As you approach the house, you are welcomed by an abundance of trees, hydrangeas and a feeling of calm and tranquility. Keriou is warm, welcoming and has a magical feel of that perfect holiday. Equipped with everything you need, from a terrace perfect for breakfast, a late lazy lunch or dinner, to a large dining area inside for those cooler days where you can light the wood burner, grab a book and relax. With the pretty coastline of Brittany a 20 min car ride away, you are never short of things to do with so many places to explore. Child friendly, home from home feeling, keriou is a must for all future family holidays!
So glad that your stay was everything you had hoped!

WIP: Winter Wolf by skulldogWatch
©2014-2016 skulldog
A little WIP of a series of paintings I'm picking out over the last week. Winter wolf..any guess on the theme, hint I have three other animals in the set...
This may be waaaaay off target, but are you doing the major Game of Thrones house icons as the seasons?
You would be dead on! Surprised that so few people caught it. ;D
Hehe... I'm a bit addicted to that world right now, and just finished the books, so even if it had nothing to do with the picture theme, I'd probably have thought it did.
So will the Lion or the Dragon be summer?
So will the Lion or the Dragon be summer?
I love your traditional art. Keep it up.
Quite rugged
So cool!
Friggin' beautiful! Your sketch marks are so pretty, I really love the way you draw paws.
You just made traditional art way cooler

Graff'01 by TheArtofBlouhWatch
©2012-2016 TheArtofBlouh
I was immediately drawn to the fonts and the colors of this when I was looking at the thumbnails of work by this artist. Each font works well for the texture of the background it's been painted on. The omission of purple and neon yellow from the dots below is both a question and a relief -- why were those colors not included in the dots? and thank god they weren't because it would be kind of trite. Tagging the wood pallet (I think that's what it is) with a repeating stencil is a stark contrast to the very slick design on the wall. For some reason the two contrasting painted surfaces make me think of the contrasts in dub step. Nice!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
1 out of 1 deviants thought this was fair.
yeah mate I really like this style too its quite similar to some of mine , great paint
Thanks man, but your style is unique ! Great work btw
this piece is dope really great style
Hey thanks, as you can see I'm not a writer, but because I like graffiti I started to make some sketches (Somehow 50 sketches x) ), and one day I finally decided to do one for "real" (I'm not a self confident guy), posted it here and never had any feedback about it, so I just tought it wasn't my thing. All that to say that your comment really matters, your canvases are awesome and you got a really great great style !

The method for repairing a connecting device for the electrical connection and for supplying and carrying away the coolant to and from the hollow conductor elements of the stator winding bars of electrical machines includes removal of the existing connecting device (2) from the bar end by inductive heating; cleaning the bar end in the region where the new connecting device is intended to be mounted; material-cutting machining the end surface of the bar end; introducing narrow slots (7) between adjacent conductor elements (1) into the end of the bar in the transverse and vertical directions; pushing on a first connecting part (2a) which is made of copper and completely surrounds the bar end; filling remaining gaps between the first connecting part (2a) and the outer surfaces of the bar end with copper foil and/or solder foil; filling the narrow slots (7) with copper foil and/or solder foil (10) or a combination of both; inductive heating of the first connecting part (2a) and of the bar end and soldering with the addition of solder; inspecting the solder joint thus created; fitting a second connecting part (2b) made of copper to the free end surface of the first connecting part (2a) by soldering; and testing the sealing of the resulting connecting device (2a,2b).
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a method for repairing a connecting device for the electrical connection and for supplying and carrying away the coolant to and from the hollow conductor elements of the stator winding bars of electrical machines, in the case of which connecting device the hollow conductor elements and, if appropriate in the case of a stator winding which also comprises solid conductor elements as well as hollow conductor elements, all the conductor elements are surrounded by a metallic component and are soldered thereto and to one another, which component overhangs the conductor elements forming a water chamber and ends in a connecting fitting for coolant supply and carrying the coolant away.
2. Discussion of Background
In the stator winding overhang of water-cooled electrical machines, the coolant is supplied from annular header lines via insulating hoses to the so-called water chambers at the end of the conductor bars. The water chamber is formed by a connecting device in which the hollow conductor elements are surrounded by a metallic component and are soldered thereto and to one another. The metallic component overhangs the conductor elements to form this water chamber. It ends in a connecting fitting for coolant supply and carrying coolant away. The connecting device is at the same time also used as the electrical connection.
The connecting device is subject to high mechanical loads (vibration) during operation. Even very small leakages lead to consequential damage to the electrical machine. If such damage occurs, the solder joints--if at all possible--must be replaced. In general, only the removal or even the complete replacement of the stator winding remains. There is thus a major requirement for a repair method which can be carried out without removal of the stator winding.
Accordingly, one object of the invention is to provide a novel method for repairing a connecting device of the generic type mentioned initially, which method can be carried out easily and manages without removal or even replacement of the stator winding, but at the same time makes possible leakage-free solder joints.
This object is achieved according to the invention by a repair method which comprises the following steps:
The invention is in this case based on the idea of managing with a minimum of modifications to the existing connecting device and at the same time retaining inspection of the quality of the repair measures at any time. This includes, inter alia, the deliberate creation of clean, defined, comparatively large-area solder points and the capability to fill the resulting gaps with filling strips made of copper and solder, or a combination of both, such that only extremely small gaps still remain which are later filled without any residue during soldering, as a result of the capillary effect. Furthermore, the splitting of the connecting device in two is to be emphasized, which allows accessibility, and thus the capability to inspect the solder joints to be created, at any time. This splitting in two furthermore makes possible great flexibility in the design of the two connecting parts, particularly with respect to their separating surfaces, as well. The latter can be designed such that, on the one hand, the soldering/testing of the first connecting part can be carried out easily whereas, on the other hand, the second connecting part makes possible the connection to the existing coolant lines as well as to the electrical connections virtually "seamlessly".
Exemplary embodiments of the invention and further advantages which can be achieved thereby are explained in more detail in the following text, with reference to the drawing.
A more complete appreciation of the invention and many of the attendant advantages thereof will be readily obtained as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, the object used as the basis for the repair method which is to be described in the following text is a known connecting device for the electrical connection and for supplying and carrying away the coolant from the hollow conductors of the stator winding bars of an electrical machine, as is illustrated schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2.
The stator winding bar which, in the case of the example, is constructed only from hollow conductor elements 1 is provided at its end with a connecting device in the form of a metallic component 2. The latter surrounds the totality of all the conductor elements 1, overhangs them externally to form a water chamber 3 into which the cooling channels 4 open into the conductor elements 1, and ends in a connecting fitting 5 for coolant supply and carrying the coolant away. The conductor elements 1 are silver-soldered to one another and to the metallic component. The solder gaps, which are illustrated excessively large in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 and are filled with solder are designated by 6. The electrical connection S (indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 1) of the connecting device is located in the case of the example on the outside of the water chamber 3, and has been omitted in FIG. 1 because it is not necessary for understanding of the invention.
After the machines have been operated for a relatively long time, leakages can now occur at the solder joints. The wall of the water chamber 3 itself can also become unsound if--as is normal in a large number of relatively old machines--it is made of cast copper. The consequence is that cooling water passes into the winding overhang space or--as is far more dangerous--into the conductor bar, which must be avoided under all circumstances. Because of the confined spatial conditions in the winding overhang space, the replacement of such connecting devices is extremely tiresome. As a rule, removal of the stator winding is not possible, for economic reasons. The invention now comes into play here.
The repair method according to the invention is presented in summary form as follows, and comprises essentially the following method steps:
In step a), the metallic component 2 is heated by inductive means to the melting temperature of the solder and is pulled off the bar end. Devices for deliberate local heating of components and solder joints are covered by the prior art and for this reason are not explained in more detail.
This is followed, as step b), by the mechanical cleaning of the solder points, which can be done, for example, by brushing or polishing. In this case, the exfoliated material and porous old solder are removed down to the bare copper or bare solder.
After this--step c)--the end surface of the conductor bar is machined by metal-cutting machining, preferably by milling, until a clean copper surface is achieved.
In step d), narrow slots 7 having a width b.apprxeq.0.5 mm and a depth t.apprxeq.10-15 mm are introduced into the former solder gaps between mutually adjacent conductor elements 1, as is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. This can be done using a side-milling cutter which is mounted on an auxiliary device at the bar end. The essential feature in this case is that the width b of the slots is dimensioned such that the outer wall of the hollow conductor elements is also included in the milling process, so that the side wall of the slot 7 is machined, except for the conductor copper, as far as the crossing points 8 where four conductor elements abut against one another.
In step e), one half 2a of a metallic connecting part is now pushed onto the bar end which has been prepared in this manner. This half is manufactured from solid, rolled copper and is brought to the corresponding shape by metal-cutting machining; it is thus not a casting. The dimensions of the hole in this first half at the end of the bar side largely correspond to the original bar end. It overhangs the bar end by a certain amount s. Taking into account the subsequent fitting of the second connecting part 2b, the excess amount should be selected to be as large as possible, as will be explained later in conjunction with FIG. 10.
Gaps which possibly still remain between the inner wall of the first connecting part 2a and all the outer surfaces of the conductor bar are now (step f) filled with first filling strips 9. These first filling strips 9 have become known under the designation SILFOS and are offered in a wide range of compositions and thicknesses between 0.1 mm and 1 mm. If required, copper-foil strips can also additionally be used in order to fill relatively large gaps as completely as possible as well.
The slots 7 are now filled with second filling strips 10, in step g). Since the slot width b (to be filled) is now produced by the milling tool and is thus defined, filling strips 10 are preferably considered here which comprise a central copper layer 11 with solder layers 12, 13 arranged on both sides, as can be seen from the detailed illustration in FIG. 6. This results in the solder gaps being kept as small as possible, so that all the gaps are filled during the soldering process, as a result of the capillary effect.
The bar end prepared in this way with the first connecting part 2a pushed on is now inductively heated and soldered, with the addition of solder (step h). If carried out carefully, there is no risk of solder penetrating into the cooling channels 4 and solidifying there, since the bar ends run horizontally. This risk also therefore does not exist because the inner wall of the cooling channels would have been coated with an oxide layer during the preceding operation, which prevents wetting by the solder.
After the soldering of the first connecting part 2a, all the solder points are now inspected and investigated for freedom from porosity, in step i). A sealing test can optionally be carried out even at this stage, for example by provisional closure of the first connecting part and pressing off, for example using helium gas, for example from the other side of the machine.
After completion of the inspection and, if appropriate, after reworking of the solder points, the second connecting part 2b is now placed onto the first connecting part 2a, in step j), with the interposition of solder foils (not shown in FIG. 5), and is soldered thereto. Like the first, this second part is also manufactured from solid copper and is brought to the appropriate shape by metal-cutting machining; it is thus not a casting. For reasons of completeness, it should be mentioned at this point that the electrical connection is made to the second connecting part 2b in the case of this and all further variants, and the second connecting part 2b has been prepared with the first, even before the soldering. In order to enlarge those end surfaces of both connecting parts 2a, 2b which are to be soldered to one another, and in order to simplify the mutual adjustment, these connecting parts 2a, 2b are stepped on their end surfaces. The silver solder which is used for this joint can in this case have a lower melting temperature than that used for soldering the first connecting part 2a to the bar end, in order to prevent damage to those silver-solder joints. Silver solders having an increased silver content are used in this case.
Completion of all the solder joints is followed by final inspection according to step k), in which the test for sealing by pressing off using, for example, helium gas, is carried out as well as visual inspection.
In addition to the repair method which has been described in the preceding text and is at the moment regarded as being preferred by the applicant, modifications are possible without departing from the framework covered by the invention. One of these modifications relates in particular to method step g). It is shown, by way of example, in FIGS. 7 to 9.
After the first connecting part 2a has been pushed on, and any remaining gaps between this connecting part 2a and the outer surfaces of the bar end have been filled, "conventional" solder foil strips with a thickness of approximately 01, mm [sic] are inserted into the slots 7. The hollow conductor elements 1 are then widened at their end until the slots 7 which have been milled in step 4 are closed at the end (cf. FIG. 7 in which the slots which are illustrated excessively wide are already filled with silver solder). The remaining critical gaps 8 at the point where four adjacent conductors meet, which gaps 8 cannot be closed by this widening, are now drilled down to a depth of approximately 13 to 15 mm. It has in this case been found that it is sufficient to accomplish this using a drill of 1 to 1.5 mm. Pins 14, which are 13 to 15 mm long and are made of copper round material, are now inserted into these holes (cf. FIGS. 8 and 9), and the gaps are in this way closed. The purpose of this procedure is virtually to close all the gaps in order to create capillaries for the liquid solder into which it can flow and can also remain therein. Steps h) to k) then follow in the indicated manner.
As already mentioned initially, two soldering processes which are successive both in time and in space, must be carried out in the case of the repair method according to the invention. In the case of such a process, there is always the risk of the quality of the preceding soldering being adversely affected during a subsequent soldering process. In the present case, this risk can be avoided on the one hand by suitable selection of the melting point of the silver solder. Another possibility is to design the connecting device, more precisely the position of the separating surfaces of the two connecting parts 2a and 2b, such that the second solder point is as far as possible away from the first, that is to say to enlarge the distance s (cf. FIGS. 5 and 7). However, this is dependent on the structural characteristics at the site of the repair. In the case of connecting devices having a comparatively large extent, as is illustrated schematically in FIG. 10, the separating surface T of the two connecting parts 2a and 2b can be located a very long distance away from the end surface of the conductor bar and towards the connecting fitting 5. However, nothing is changed in the described repair method, at most with the exception that one and the same solder can now be used for both silver-soldering operations.
The repair method according to the invention has been described in the preceding text with reference to a conductor bar consisting only of hollow conductor elements 1. It is self-evident that the method is also suitable for stator winding bars which also have solid conductor elements 15 as well as hollow conductor elements 1 (cf. FIG. 11). In the case of such an arrangement, and following the teaching of the invention, after removal of the original connecting device, cleaning of the outer surfaces of the bar end and milling its end flat, narrow slots are introduced between all the conductor elements 1, 15, that is to say also between adjacent hollow and solid conductor elements as well as between two adjacent solid conductor elements 15. The alternative (filling the slots only with solder foil and widening the hollow conductor elements 1) indicated in step g) is admittedly possible here, but depends on the distribution of the hollow conductor elements in the conductor bar itself.
The essential feature in all the design variants of the invention is to ensure in each case that all the earlier solder points are machined down to a predetermined depth seen from the bar end, and can thus be wetted well by the "new" solder, and that all gaps which are too large for the soldering are avoided or filled (capillary soldering).
Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

The market liked the prospect of an auto bailout. On Monday, General Motors stock soared 21 percent; Ford's jumped 24.3 percent. Up shot the market as a whole. From the smoke and ruins came hoarse cheers. The sound of a bugle blowing "Charge" rode the wind. Hooray -- today's U.S. cavalry, wearing banker's gray and red stripes, had come to lift the siege of Detroit.
And so it may come to pass. And so may much else for which the general population may eventually show itself less grateful.
There comes to mind a cautionary slogan I first heard in the '60s: He who pays the piper calls the tune. Indeed, and why not? Is government, in the end, a philanthropic entity? For what it does, it wants a return. Taxpayers should expect no less.
The auto bailout is setting up the auto industry for what? Probably the reverse of success. Possibly its marginalization by Toyota and Honda and Nissan and Daimler Benz and Volvo. This is for sound reasons originating in that piece of wisdom about the piper and his tune.
The auto rescue bill sent to the White House for review on Monday predictably -- and you might say properly -- sets the federal government up as grand overseer of the auto business, with plenary powers to decide what the industry needs and what it should do.
The president (read: Barack Obama) is to name an executive branch functionary who will supervise the bridge loans to Detroit. By the end of next March, the industry will submit to this worthy a restructuring plan "for long-term viability and international competitiveness, including repayment of government financing, compliance with federal and state fuel efficiency requirements, achievement of positive net present value, rationalization of costs, capacity and proposals for restructuring existing debts. "
This functionary -- called "President's Designee" -- "will request from Congress additional powers and authorities he deems necessary to avoid disruption to the economy or to achieve a negotiated plan." Or he can submit his "own plan for long-term viability."
There's more to it than that. The proposal calls for a tight rein on executive bonuses; for a ban on so-called golden parachutes; for divestiture of company-owned aircraft. Ah. And "Presidential Designee will prioritize allocation of funds to Auto Manufacturers."

Victor Novak, the brew master at Taps Fish House & Brewery, has brought out several beers for the fall, all of them available now at his two restaurants.
I had the pleasure of sampling them with food -- each was paired with a different course -- and came away convinced that, yes, beer can be matched up with cuisine just like wine can. Traditionally, my beer-food preferences tended toward the salty, crunchy variety not recommended by the American Heart Association.
"Generally, the stronger flavors of fall suggest a heavier beer with more body and a higher alcohol content," Novak said during the dinner.
I also checked in with Placentia's The Bruery to see what they've come up with for the fall season.

Make a stop-motion animation using your DSLR and Photoshop
You don't need a movie mode function on your digital camera to make a motion picture. In fact, you don't even need additional movie-editing software, such as Adobe Premiere.
For this simple photography project we'll show you how to use nothing more than your digital camera and Photoshop CS to put together a simple stop-motion animation sequence, then save it as a QuickTime movie. And seeing as today is Easter, we thought what better subject than to melt a chocolate Easter Bunny!
Using the basic principles of animation, we'll take a series of images using our DSLR's Interval Timer set to take a shot automatically every seven seconds,
while the chocolate bunny is slowly melted by a hair dryer.
After making some global tweaks to all the captured JPEG images in Adobe Camera Raw, we'll use the often-overlooked Image Sequence check box in Photoshop's Open window to merge them all together into a movie that can be rendered and saved as a file that you can share quickly and easily.
The chocolate bunny we've used here works a treat, because the melting process is fairly fast, but there are many subjects that will work just as well. Try recording the movement of a bunch of flowers opening over several days, or shoot a sequence during a long walk. Want to see how it's done? Watch the video below.

Before the discovery of insulin, one of the most common dietary treatments of diabetes mellitus was a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet. A review of Frederick M. Allen's case histories shows that a 70% fat, 8% carbohydrate diet could eliminate glycosuria among hospitalized patients. A reconsideration of the role of the high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet for the treatment of diabetes mellitus is in order.

How did you first hear about Common Sense Media?
Submitted by johnwilliams on

Parents need to know that unlike the movie, the soundtrack has no frightening images to worry about. It's mostly well-composed, well-performed orchestral music.
If it takes nothing short of a phenomenally super-hyped blockbuster fantasy trilogy to get your kids interested in orchestral music, so what? The soundtrack of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING -- number three in the Lord of the Rings trilogy -- evokes drama and passion through its intensely arranged musical instruments and choral vocals, and they are mostly wonderful (though some may consider it just a teensy bit tedious without the visuals). Annie Lennox closes the show nicely with an understated Celtic-style ballad. But mostly there are few lyrics to worry about, so this soundtrack is appropriate for kids of any age, although older kids are most likely to appreciate it.
The music on this soundtrack is beautiful, tasteful, and gracefully performed. It's also moody and magical, so will evoke remembered images and favorite passages. Perhaps children too young to see the PG-13-rated movie (which is quite long and far more violent than the music) will be able to make up their own stories to this soundtrack, or simply enjoy it on its own. The soundtrack will definitely be a hit with the true-blue diehard fans.
Families can talk about how the music soundtrack helps set the mood and enhance the magic of the movie.

The Original
This review is from: WAHL 4120-600
Pros: The original, a real classic. Amongst hand held massagers the Hitachi Wand in all the rage these days and while we have one and it's a fine product the Whal is better in many wayor perhaps better for certain uses. It's smaller, easier to handle solidly built and offers two unique setting rather that two speed.
Cons: Only one really, limited number of attachments. Unlike the popular wand units these days which numbers companies are making a wide variety of attachments the ones the unit come with are probable the only you ever find.

SUPER EGO The Bay Area nightlife community is pulling out all the stops (and the big guns) to aid the victims of that horrifying earthquake in Haiti this week. There already have been some stellar benefits at Afrolicious, Element, Levende East, and others — and even our local stars of comedy came together at Deco last week to lend support. Below are some more huge efforts, as our club kids continue to spread the love and funds.
It's a live global funk extravaganza, blending Afrobeat, Latin roll, street strut, and bhangra bang at the Independent, with 100 percent of proceeds going to the Haiti Relief Fund (www.haitirelieffund.org). Featured: Sila, Haiti's Kalbass Kreyol, Bayonics, Native Elements, DJ J-Boogie, Joe Bagale, Meklit Hadero, Aima the Dreamer, Thank You Julius, DJ Jeremiah & the Afrobeat Nation, NonStop Bhangra, DJ Felina, DJ Amar & Electric Vardo, Gibson Pearl, live belly dancers.
Wed/27, 7:30 p.m., $10. Independent, 628 Divisadero, SF. www.theindependentsf.com
Hey, even the fancy-pants crowd is activated (yes, bottle service and dress code is in effect). Harry Denton's Starlight Room, high atop the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, is hosting a shindig with Sebastien Presents featuring ambitiously facial-haired stripper-rock DJ Meikee Magnetic and live drummer Mateo G of Heroes, plus funk-rap DJs Nile and Big Bad Bruce. Did I mention this is for charity? All proceeds from Ketel One sales (and a portion of the door) go to the American Red Cross, so drink up.
Wed/27 8 p.m., $20. Harry Denton's Starlight Room, 450 Powell, SF. www.harrydenton.com
Surefire Sound, Big Up magazine, and YBR promotions offer up two big rooms and the Venus Tour Bus outside, bumping dubstep (DJs Joe Nice, Ultraviolet, Sam Supa, Blackheart, NTRLD, Dubsworth, Maneesh the Twister, Lud Dub), reggae (Green B and Daneekah, Stepwise, Nowtime Sound, I&I Vibration) and blunted breaks (Coop D'ville, Ripple, Bogl, Jon Holiday, DJ Cruz, General Nao).

Smashing DJ sets by Bad Neighbors, Eric Sharp, Disco Shawn, Jeffrey Paradise, Nisus, Omar, Richie Panic, Shane King, Sleazemore, Sticky K., and White Girl Lust.
