Prior to today the only problem I had with my car is the starter and tuneup issues. Sometimes I would have to hold down on the key in order to get it to turn over. Okay, I put the key in the ignition switch, then when i try to start it -> I turn the key it "cough's", then while i'm still holding on the key there's a long quiet pause for like 5-10 seconds and then it will turn over and run perfectly fine. Now When i turn the key the lights come on and every thing but it wont start. I replaced the battery because it was faulty (had it tested at autozone and they gave me a brand new one because it was covered under warranty) You know how when the battery is dead it *click click click's* well its acting like a dead battery without the clicking. Is it the starter? how do I replace it? Do i have to disconnect the ac line in front of the radiator, pull the exhaust manifold and pull the radiatior? I have a 4.9 8cyl? Please help.

This sounds like it's the starter or the starter solenoid. You need detailed step-by-step instructions for completing this repair. Try one of the resources below for that kind of help, but just a warning--this may not be the problem, and I'm concerned to may create more problems or not solve the problem without a detailed diagnosis by a professional. http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info http://bit.ly/alldata_repair_manuals http://bit.ly/mitchell_repair_manuals_online

Every day, or as close to every day as she can manage juggling a busy teaching schedule, Alix Ohlin sits down to write. For the last several years, she's been hard at work on Inside (Knopf), a novel, and Signs and Wonders (Vintage), a short story collection, both released this month.
They are already generating noteworthy buzz. Canada's The Globe and Mail newspaper hailed its native daughter as a "writer who should be famous," and earlier this month O Magazine featured Inside as book of the week on its website.
Inside tells the story of three people whose paths cross over a period of 10 years. Each of them is driven to help someone in trouble. In some cases, years later, a person who gave help now finds him or herself in need of it.
Alix Ohlin Nominated for Two Major Canadian Literary Awards
"It's about the imperative to help other people, why helping has value, even though we may not always succeed," explains Ohlin, associate professor of English.
For Inside, Ohlin enlisted the help of Jenny Boyar '08, who graduated with an A.B. degree with majors in psychology and English. Boyar worked with Ohlin as an EXCEL Scholar, researching the lives of therapists and actors, who both play a role in the novel. She also conducted interviews and read textbooks for professionals in those fields. Her findings helped Ohlin add greater texture and authenticity to Inside's characters.
The stories in Signs and Wonders are mostly about relationships between people: men and women, parents and children, workplace colleagues, and friends, "all the intense and sometimes fraught connections that make up our ordinary lives."
While Ohlin doesn't use her own materials in the classroom, she does treat her classes like a circle of writers. She shares works by other writers, hoping they will excite and inspire her students the way they did her. She also shares her own process.
"It's important for students to know that everybody experiences doubt and struggle in writing, as I do," she says. "It takes many drafts and a lot of revising to come up with something that you're happy with."
If students are intimidated about taking a class with such an accomplished writer, they shouldn't be. Ohlin views all of her students as writers; she just happens to be a little further along.
"I can share what I have learned in a practical sense along the way," she says. "I didn't take any writing classes as an undergraduate [at Harvard University], but I try to teach the way I would've wanted to be taught, which is to break writing down into a set of concrete skills, and then give students the freedom to experiment with those skills as widely as they can."
Each student is a unique writer, with an individual voice, experience, and talent. No two classes are ever the same, which Ohlin loves.
"I feel very lucky that now, as a professor, I can share my passion for writing with students," she says. "It's very exciting to help them discover what they want to say and how to say it."
Ohlin previously published a novel, The Missing Person (Knopf, 2005), and the short story collection Babylon and Other Stories (2006).

Nevaditas De Senkata Group
The loan will benefit all these micro-entrepreneurs, Maricela included. She says that she joined Pro Mujer 7 years ago on the invitation of her mother who is a member of the institution. Her business is selling clothing. She learned about this business observing the products that were being sold in the markets.
The loan she is requesting is to increase her capital (buying clothing wholesale) which she will buy in the markets of the city of Oruro and later sell in her commercial space. This form of work allows her to generate resources to support her family as she lives with her common-law partner and has a child. When asked what she liked about Pro Mujer she replied that she enjoys the loans that the institute's personnel offer.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Maricela es integrante, ella indica que hace siete años que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por la invitación de su madre que es socia de la institución. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio venta de ropa; da a conocer que este negocio lo emprendió por iniciativa al observar que los productos que tiene son comerciales en las ferias.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de ropa por mayor) que adquirirá de las ferias de la ciudad de Oruro y posteriormente lo comercializara en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para apoyar a su familia, ya que ella vive en concubinato y tiene un hijo.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta el crédito que ofrece el personal de la institución.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Hi I found 2 vintage bikes in the thrift store- I paid for 1 but they are holding both till I can get back with my truck. (I was on my bike when I found them)
They are....
#1 - Apollo Custom Sport
* Tange double butted Mangaloy magnesiam alloy tubes
* Diacomp brake handles
* Shimano tourney brakes
* Super chromix steel rims (pretty darn true)
* Deore shifting items
* Tourney ST Cranks
* front and rear rack mount holes
* 33" floor to top tube.
* made in Japan by Kuahara
* Aluminum bars - no suicide brake handles
#2 Araya R200
* uni stem
* uni aluminum bars
* Diacomp brakes and handles (including suicide handles)
* Shimano shifting items
* Suzue sealed tech hubs
* araya alloy rims
* Tang 5 - chromo stainless tubing
* Front has only fender mounts, I don't see rack mounts
* 33" floor to top tube
Sorry no pics, and I won't have time to snap any before I return to pick one up
Araya has rear tire very close to seat tube, so I gather it's more of a road geometry than the apollo.
My riding wishes are more for pleasure, training, and possibly tours.
Don't race or ever wish to.
I'm leaning toward the apollo thinking the rack mounts are better for me, and maybe the seemingly more relaxed geometry. I just wish it had the alloy rims/quick release.
Please give me some tips/advice on deciding with the info I have captured.
PS as mentioned I have about 45 minutes before I leave the house.

The Obama Effect
By ABRAHAM KATZMAN:
When an Orthodox Jewish, kippa-wearing Democratic candidate might lose a congressional election in the most Jewish (and 75% Democratic) congressional district in America – a seat occupied by Democrats for nearly a century – to a non-Jewish Republican, something significant is going on. And Golda Koppelman knows what that something is.
New York's 9th Congressional District (Brooklyn and Queens) is gearing up for the September 13, 2011 special election to fill the seat vacated by disgraced Democrat Anthony Weiner. Koppelman, a Holocaust survivor who has lived her American life in the district, is a devout Jewish mother and grandmother, with family in both Israel and America. Like many of her generation, she's also a devout Democrat. Until now.
"I have never voted for a Republican in my life" she says. But in this election, "I don't even care who the Democrat is; I am voting Republican to show Obama I am upset with his policy on Israel."

MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
I was recently forwarded a copy of Sony's MLB '08: The Show for review. I have to admit I was a bit giddy over getting a free copy since I grew up on baseball video games, starting with Hardball on the Commodore 64. Up until about three years ago, I would still pretty much play a full season out on EA's MVP Baseball 2005. This was my first games since then, so pardon me if I'm a little behind the times.
I requested a PS2 copy since I've yet to take the plunge for a PS3, and quickly popped in my copy when it arrived via FedEx. The intro montage that is common with all video games was as snazzy as ever, highlighting the milestones over the past year. Thome, Thomas and A-Rod hitting 500, Sosa hitting 600, Glavine's 300 and so forth. Noticeably missing was Craig Biggio's 3000th hit, something that gave me a smile. I imagine it had more to do with a contract with the players union which he is no longer a member of since his retirement, but I still appreciated the slight of a long-term Cubs nemesis.
The menu screen popped up and you have all your expected features, franchise and season modes, exhibition, home run derby, manager mode and so on. I went with the "Quick Game" just to get started and picked the Pirates versus the Cubs at Wrigley.
There's quite an extended intro if you want from the announcers as they set-up the game and go through the lineups. The ballpark render looked decent, albeit unspectacular. I do imagine they look better on PS3 version. I studied up on the basics and was ready to play.
Naturally I had Zambrano take the mound and I threw the first pitch - a 4-seam fastball that ended up about 5 feet outside. It was nice to see that they decided to make the game realistic. Of course, I just wasn't use to the pitching interface, but as the game went on I was actually impressed by the realism. One of my all-time favorite baseball video games was High Heat for the PC, and one of the main reasons I liked it was for how well it balanced simulation with arcade play. They did a great job of making it difficult for certain pitchers to throw strikes and as they got more tired over the course of the game, their control went with it. It was nice to see a game pick up on that feature. By the 6th inning I was already up to 100 pitches on Zambrano and I don't think you can get more realistic than that.
I won't bore you with the rest of the details of the games I played. I'll just outline what I feel are the pros and (very few) cons of the game. I didn't get into the season or franchise modes, but I imagine those are pretty standard by now. I do know it has online element where you can play a single game or join leagues. More importantly, you can download the latest rosters as the game was missing Kosuke Fukudome and featured a lineup of Mark DeRosa in right field and Mike Fontenot in second. That should be corrected right after Opening Day I believe.
I thought the game play was fantastic except for a few exceptions which I'll explain in a minute. The game felt pretty real. You really needed an eye at the plate and could work the count when you were batting. On the pitching side, they didn't make it too easy to throw a strike. It seems to me that most video games get that wrong and most AB's only last a couple of pitches. The player animations felt pretty natural, the baserunning was simple enough, although there were a lot of extra features that I didn't even get into on running the bases. They have some intuitive features to analyze your swing and timing as well, and some quick menus to help get the bullpen going, visit the mound or set your infield.
My two chief complaints were that the ballparks could have looked a little better and the pitchers were way too slow between pitches. There was nothing that glaringly stood out in the ballparks that I checked out, unlike EA's MVP 2005 which featured fireworks at Wrigley Field. But the scoreboard graphics on some of the parks looked a little off and the crowd animations were pretty weak. A minor detail, but the kind of stuff you'd like to have for the full experience.
The pitchers though took way too long between pitches, either when I was controlling them or waiting for a pitch. There was quite a delay between picking up the sign and the windup. Even worse, the pitching meter in the wind-up had a completely different timing than in the stretch. I imagine that was on purpose to further enhance the simulation experience, but I had a much harder time in the wind-up than the stretch...and it should be the opposite. There is a "Fast Mode" on the game, but that just seemed to cut-down on extraneous cutaways and waiting for the ball to get thrown back to the pitcher. The pitcher still took forever to get the sign, get into the windup and throw a pitch.
Not to end on a downer because I really did enjoy the game and will likely try to play a season this year (with lots of simulated games). This was probably the closest game I've seen to High Heat and there's a good chance that my memory of High Heat is better than it actually was. If you want a realistic feeling video game with some neat features, I don't think you can go wrong with MLB '08: The Show.
I happened to receive 5 PS3 copies of the game as well and wanted to give them out in a contest that would wrap up around when the season started. If you'd like to enter, follow this link and answer the questions. Each question is weighted equally and the top 5 finishers will win. If you don't have a PS3 or just aren't interested in the games, you should still enter. You can always sell your copy on Ebay or a local video game store. And you still don't want it, I'll donate it to a local children's charity by my neck of the woods.
You have until Friday 11pm CST to enter and we should have the results by Opening Day. Of course, if you don't want to wait for that, consider buying it through us via amazon.com and we make a buck or two to help pay for things around here (PS3, PS2 and PSP from left to right).

Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
got friends in the military as im sure many of you do as well, but jeez those guys play the SHIT out of mlb the show. for some it takes over their lives! (when theyre not playing madden or tiger woods golf that is..)
as you were.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
oh and i forgot to mention something.
worst game ever has got to be tommy lasorda baseball for the sega genesis circa 1989. can anybody back me up here??
you gotta love "baseball" for the original nintento though.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
My gaming experience pretty much stops at the Super NES. For
Nintendo, I still have "baseball" and play it maybe once a year, when
I'm really, really bored. And yeah, I love it. The "Y" team
is the best!!!!
Sadly, I never owned either baseball stars or rbi baseball. Ken Griffey Jr.s Winning Run for Super NES is ok.
and nice review rob. I also LOLed at the "realistic" line.
How long would you say the pause between pitches was? I'm so used
to being able to chuck a video game pitch like every 5 seconds, I
wonder if a "natural" pause of 15-20 makes it feel ridiculously
long.... Or are we talking something trachsel-esque?
Re: MLB '08: The Show - From a Mets blog
Not that a Mets fan's opinion is worth anything, (~grin~) but here's another review for anyone interested.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Baseball Stars for the original NES was the best. It was the first game to track stats and let you pull manuevers that still werent available in some games for years to come.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
I got the mlb 2k8 for my Wii.
My arm hurt for a day from the throwing and batting.
I can't find away to shut off the announcers...Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
I can't find away to shut off ... Joe Morgan
lol... This isn't '08 The Show, right, or is it? Is it realistic? Fun?
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
This is different from the Show, but same idea.
Witht he Wii, you have to flick your wrist with a timed pitch. And when you bat you swing the remote like a bat.
I made Wood my closer, and he has the Bugs Bunny curve ball that he had 1998. Hopefully I don't blow my wrist out.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
We'll know it was a bad idea if you end up under the knife for arthroscopic surgery in a couple months.
Really, though, I'm toying with the idea of getting one of those Wiis. I don't usually get the latest game consoles, but that looks like fun.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
if you can find one I recommend it. I really love my Wii. Its great for when you have people over. The bowling game that comes with wii sports (included with the wii) is really fun. 4 people can play. The thing I love is you can literally hand it to someone and say lets play. They don't need any video game experience to jump in and play a round of bowling.
Other games I've found to be really fun.
Resident Evil 4 wii edition
Zelda crossbow (comes with the gun like device. Very fun. My wife loves this game)
Zack & Wiki - another game my wife and I play together
There is another baseball game called MLB Power Pro. Stores in my area (dallas) don't carry it for some reason even though a few reviews I read said it was perhaps the best baseball game in years. I need to order it online i guess.
There are a handful of games I want to play that I haven't been able to buy yet. Mario Galaxy, medal of honor, no more heroes, bully, ea's playground, Battalion Wars 2. those just off the top of my head. all have had great reviews. And the Wii Fit that comes out i'm hoping in May.
There is also the very large library of nes, snes, n64, gamecube, genesis, turbo graphix 16, neogeo games you can download for around $5 a piece. (some go to 8-10) Baseball stars and Baseball Stars 2 are available. Of course, playing old sports games to me is fun at first and then you realize how nice the progression of games has been.
Re: Wii
I have a Wii and love it. I mostly play Guitar Hero 3 but have played my share of bowling and Madden as well. Mario Galaxy is also very cool.
It also plays Gamecube games (with a regular controller) so there are a bunch more games to choose from (though without the cool interface).
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
I miss some things about EA Sport's MVP baseball. I played it on PC so I could update rosters whenever I wanted, they had some really cool mods you could download. Also, you could play a whole season and manage the entire organization from single-A to MLB level. MVP wasn't nearly as realistic as the show, though.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Cubs may only go with Eyre in the pen, and Chad Fox not surprisingly will probably start the season at extended spring training.
Re: From Trib Article
"We don't really have to [have a second lefty]," he said. "We'll try to take the best pitching staff we can. If a second lefty wants to grab a spot, that's fine with me. But we're not necessarily looking for a second lefty."
I wish he thought the same thing about the offense and not being pigeonholed into a lefty.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
This 2008 "The show" game is totally consuming. The Road to the Show mode is Much better this year than in previous years. You design a guy that can look spookily like yourself. You join an organizaton and participate in only the plays your guy is personally involved in. I created a SS and am currently toiling away in AA Knoxville. Only action I have to deal with are Batting and Various defensive situations (pickoff throws,Stolen base attempts,Pivoting on the DP).
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Dr. aaron b:
You design a guy that can look spookily like yourself.
You mean a 30-year old, 5'6", nearly 200 lbs rookie in AA? Sounds like a promising career.
Any chance I could make myself taller, younger, and... uh... black?
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Well, I did make myself 18. But other than than I made myself look like myself. 5'8 180 AA Shortstop. 29 wouldnt really make me a prospect.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
BLACK!?!?!?! Make me Dominican!!!!
Minor league camp
AZ Phil,
How are things looking at minor league camp? In particular I've been interested in 2 guys, Samardzija and Larry Suarez, the bonus baby we signed last year.
Has Samardzija been pitching well against the minor leaguers after starting out at MLB camp? Is he getting polished enough to the point that he could make an impact at the MLB level this year or next?
And, what's Larry Suarez looking like? I remember they made a decent deal about the bonus they gave the guy, but we haven't heard much about what he's actually like as a pitcher so far.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - FUKUDOME
Fukudome apparently has to play one MLB game before they can put him in the video game.
However, in rivalry and season modes, you can add his surrogate in Tom Jung, who appears on the Cubs' minor league roster.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - FUKUDOME
He's Kyle Furanato on MLB2k8
Re: OFF TOPIC
Yeah, I didn't find it funny either, but I don't find a vast majority of these stupid "Onion" like comedy articles funny.

That's pretty terrible.

The Onion is generally funny. This was just stupid. I checked out some other articles on the website and they all suck. I think perhaps the key to their problem is their mantra: "The Serious Sports News Network is, generally, willing to accept contributions from anyone willing to submit them - as such, we have printed a variety."
Maybe Rob should start accepting "anything" and see what happens...

We do - it's called the comments section. ~grin~
Re: OFF TOPIC
It's not you, it's not all that funny.
BTW -- The Onion staff put an inordinate amount of time into developing their satire. It's not something that's just thrown together as this piece appears to have been.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Of the many reasons that's not funny, the article has no context.
Now, a funny story could be written about Pie's, uh, problem, in theory.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
How can they do an entire lame article on separation anxiety and not even mention Soriano? I was waiting for the punchline that never came. You're right, it's jokeless without context. That is so NOT Raven.
By the way, what do you guys think of our keeper league? Just kidding.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Are you guys telling me they've made a new video game and "Home Run" for the Atari 2600 is outdated? How have the graphics for the stick figures improved?
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
I've been doing the home run derby on Super Smash Bros. Brawl... 1250 feet with Lucario!
Yeah, it's a stretch to stay on topic. Awesome game, though.
I'm still throwing MLB Power Pros in from time to time. Amazingly fun and deep for a game featuring big head character models.

Well executed!
I've been wracking my brain to work a "Room With a View" reference in there but I just haven't gotten it to work.
Bryant might be playing SS during an infield shift, no? Usually he is moved to 2B but it could happen.
I won't really be happy until I see Bryant at shortstop.
Yeah, Underwood impresses the internet scouts more than the opposing hitters. Blackburn and Williams have pitched well but they would be more interesting if they missed more bats.
Myrtle Beach has a couple of guys--Trevor Clifton and Jake Stinnett--worth keeping an eye on.
South Bend has the best record in the Midwest League but it's more about their bats than their starting pitching.
Thanks Steve, I always forget about that.
Maddon spins the wheel-o-lineups and Bryant is playing 1B.
The line-ups, by the way, appear in the Twitter box on the left and usually very soon after they are made available.
Looks like no Heyward or Rizzo in the lineup today.
HAGSAG: Kevonte Mitchell has shown some improvement in 2016. He takes a lot of walks, shows occasional power, and he's an athletic defender capable of making the big play in the OF.
However, he strikes out way too much, he doesn't always take the most-direct-route to get to balls hit into the air, and he sometimes runs himself into outs on the bases. He is still very raw.
E-MAN: I don't think Dallas Beeler has a long-term future with the Cubs, but (when healthy) he has gotten the call over the past couple of years as the "26th man" when the Cubs needed an extra starter in a doubleheader.
PHIL: Thanks for the wrap. A 2010 early-ish round Hendry draft pick, why do you surmise the new management team just doesn't cut bait on Beeler? Not shown that much as a starter. Does he have a power arm when right? Is he another Schlitter? Or, is he rosyer filler while the org waits out the lower-level arms to surpass him?
Ryan Kellogg is still a fringy prospect despite being very old for low-A. He's putting up very good numbers no matter who he's facihg.
Great article on Yosh and Nobe. Thanks for including it Trans.
Phil, it looks like Kevonte Mitchell has made some progress this Spring. Your thoughts please, thanks.
so far ryan williams (AAA) is the only system prospect on the "could be ready soon" horizon doing well...that said, he's not very exciting and he's assumed to be an end-rotation talent at best.
paul blackburn is getting great early returns in AA, but he's getting surprisingly low K numbers doing it. he throws lot of low/sinking stuff with good control...also assumed to be an end-rotation guy, but he's got room to be better, especially given his control as base to build on.
Speaking of pitching -- another ugly outing for Underwood at AA. Through 6 starts: 5.19 ERA, WHIP 1.69. Yikes!
Man, do we need starting pitching depth. Our best hopes are still hanging with AZ Phil in Arizona. Very scary.
jeebus... that's terrible.

Paul Smith's
Cycling Scrapbook
Were it not for a serious crash in his teens, fashion designer Paul Smith might have become known as a successful racing cyclist. His cycling career cut short, and after a six-month spell in the hospital, he opened a small boutique in England in 1970. Today, Paul Smith is one of the UK's most successful exports, with over 350 shops worldwide. It was only relatively recently, however, that Smith publicly returned to the world of cycling. This lively scrapbook illustrates Smith's favorite people, races, and places in the cycling world through the images and ephemera that inspired him. From his collection of cycling jerseys and his extensive library of cycling publications and brochures of the 1950s and 1960s to the inspiration he has found in his cycling heroes (Coppi, Anquetil, Bartali) and his collaborations with bike-makers (Mercian and Pinarello) and race organizers, this is a personal and highly visual journey that connects Smith's love of cycling with his love of design.

A Dog
Named Jimmy
On Rafael Mantesso's thirtieth birthday, his wife left him. The only thing she didn't take was their bull terrier, whom she'd named after her favorite shoe designer: Jimmy Choo. With only Jimmy for company, Rafael found inspiration in his blank walls and his best friend and started snapping photos of Jimmy Choo as he trotted and cavorted around the house in glee. Then, when Jimmy collapsed in happy exhaustion next to the white wall, on a whim Rafael grabbed a marker and drew a new world around his ginger-eared pup. Suddenly, Rafael felt his long-dormant inspiration—for drawing, for art, for life—returning. The result? Hundreds of charming and cheeky images chronicling the owner and dog's relationship and adventures, including poses in a Star Wars stormtrooper helmet, passed out with liquor bottles, and as the shark in Jaws. Mantesso presents a definitive selection of new and classic images of Jimmy and includes the backstory of how the two became such great collaborators. As heartwarming as it is hilarious, A Dog Named Jimmy will delight animal lovers everywhere.

They should be able to take scuffs and knocks and to be part of a community, whether in a Chicago skyscraper or on Australia's sunshine coast.

Mapplethorpe Flora
Robert Mapplethorpe (1946–1989) is one of the twentieth century's most important artists, known for his groundbreaking and provocative work. He studied painting, drawing, and sculpture in Brooklyn in the 1960s and started taking photographs when he acquired a Polaroid camera, in 1970. Beginning in 1973 and until his death in 1989, Mapplethorpe explored the flower with extraordinary dedication, using a range of photographic processes — from Polaroids to dye-transfer color works. In carefully constructed compositions, he captured roses, orchids, snapdragons, daisies, tulips and other species — both common and rare — and forever transformed the way we perceive a classic and familiar subject. The result — a stunning body of work — is collected in this elegant book, Mapplethorpe Flora: The Complete Flowers.

A Life in Fashion
From the moment Cecil Beaton arrived at Cambridge University in 1922 wearing an evening jacket, red shoes, black-and-white trousers, and a large cravat, to his appearance nearly forty years later at Truman Capote's Black and White Ball, Beaton expressed a flamboyant sartorial nonchalance. He had accounts with the best Savile Row tailors; he bought his shirts from Excello in New York; and his clothes from Lanz of Salzburg now reside, along with other elements of his wardrobe, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. A Life in Fashion is a lively and informative study of Beaton's style, which kept evolving over the decades, driving and reflecting the transitions in men's fashion that followed the Second World War. Drawing on unpublished records and interviews with Beaton's former tailors, Benjamin Wild delightfully scrutinizes Beaton's approach to fashion as well as his influence on designers such as Giles Deacon and Dries van Noten.

Season Three
Juergen Teller &

This, the third book in the celebrated series by Juergen Teller and Nicolas Ghesquière, artistic director of Louis Vuitton, proves that their audacious collaboration is as alive as ever. Perhaps more explicitly than its predecessors I Just Arrived in Paris (2014) and THE FLOW (2015), Season Three tells the story of a fashion collection as it evolves through photography (in this case Ghesquière's creations for Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2015/16). Divided into named chapters, the book shows the changing guise of the collection as Teller photographs it for different purposes and in individual moods: be it presskit photos, streetscapes and still-lifes, candid bathroom scenes, backstage and runway shots, a fashion editorial for AnOther Magazine, or the advertising campaign. As ever with Teller, his photos reveal an irreverent, sometimes brazen take on the world of luxury, and rethink the line between fashion and life.

Taking The Obliteration Room as its centerpiece, this catalogue reveals, in vivid large-scale plates, the transformation of the space from a clean white interior to a stunningly saturated room, with ceilings, walls, and furniture covered in myriad multicolored stickers put there by viewers over the course of the exhibition. The catalogue also includes beautiful reproductions of Kusama's new large-format paintings from My Eternal Soul series. Texts include a "Hymn to Yayoi Kusama" by art critic and poet Akira Tatehata and a poem by the artist herself.mask

Outpost Gallifrey Presents:
Doctor Who: Podshock - Episode 157
Running Time: 1:26:39
Quasi-live coverage of San Diego Comic Con 2009, 11th Doctor's New Threads and New TARDIS, Special Reports from Tara Wheeler at SDCC, Jarrod Cooper of Hurricane Who interviewed, and more.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Part Two
After the Doctor Who panel ended, I hauled butt over to the Sails Pavillion, where my Darlng Husband had run through multiple lines to get me a ticket for the autograph session and saved me a place in line.
There were wild rumors that David Tennant would take part in this session and Murray Gold had hinted on Twitter that he might also take part in it.
But no. Euros Lyn, Julie Gardner and Russell T. came in after about an hour's wait.
Thanks to the DH, I was right up in front of the line and had a moment or two to trade comments with RTD.
Of course, I have my own agenda, and asked him, as he'd just claimed that Four was *his* Doctor, why the BBC no longer distributes Doctor Who Scarf patterns.
He'd had no idea and offered to look into it. I gave him my card.
Actor Harry Towb Dies
British actor, Harry Towb has died at 83 on Friday after briefly battling cancer. Born in Larne, County Antrim, grew up in Belfast, and moved to England in the 1950's, has passed away peacefully in his home in London.
Although his career spanned the stage, television, and film with roles in everything from Little Shop of Horrors (stage), The Avengers (TV), and The 39 Steps (film), for Doctor Who viewers, they may recognize him as Osgood in the 1969 story, 'Seeds of Death' with Patrick Troughton or as McDermott in the 1971 story, 'Terror of the Autons' with Jon Pertwee.
Beginnings and Endings
Please Note: There will be spoilers in this blog entry if you haven't seen the UK press in the last week, or the reports out of San Diego Comic-Con.
The last week has been a fantastic time to be a Doctor Who fan - and the proof of how great this show is, could be seen in the thousands of screaming fans in San Diego yesterday morning, as the celebrated the coming end of an era - And what a ride that ending looks like its going to be. Frights on Mars with water and who knows what else, and then "The End of Time" itself, with Wilf, Donna, the Master, Timothy Dalton and the last days of Planet Earth!!!! It all looks very dark indeed! Whatever happened to Russell's promise not to scare the kids on Christmas Day??!!!!
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Part One
I'm so sorry I didn't post this earlier.
I was sooo exhausted and I'm still knackered today.
Sunday was amazing.
I had trouble sleeping and got up at 4:30. I was down at the Convention Center by 5AM.
Out in front of the Con was the 'God Line'; everyone with a pass that wanted in, needed to be in this line.
When I got there, there were about five hundred people in line in front of me. Some were there to get onto the Expo floor, some were there for gaming, some were there for the Supernatural panel, some for other panels and then there were all of us in line for the Doctor Who panel.
When my Husband had come in at midnight, he had gone by to see if a line had started. He saw about seventeen people in line. I spoke to one of these people hours later and she said there had been about five people who started the line at 8PM. So, some people had been in line over 24 hours to see the Doctor Who panel
Hand-Held "Corrected" Video of the 'End of Time' Promo
This promo for the End of Time presented at San Diego Comic Con this past weekend was shot by someone in the audience. The hand-held shaky video uploaded to YouTube by safia43 was then stabilized and cleaned up a bit by colonelbarker to the give you what you see here below. It features an element that would had been considered a spoiler before Comic Con, but now is not as the BBC has already announced it. Hopefully a better version of this promo will become available on the net soon, in the meantime, here below is probably the best version of it on YouTube (catch it while you can).
Officially Announced - Spoiler No More? (We'll let you judge)
A returning character and actor to the upcoming Doctor Who specials that until now has been regarded as a spoiler has been officially announced by the BBC. There's no avoiding it now. You will know for sure now as 'the cat is out of the bag' with this announcement. Having said that, we will still let you decide. Click the "Read more" below to find out.
New Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars Trailer (YouTube)
As just reported, the BBC has made a new trailer for Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars available for the UK only. For everyone else, there's YouTube (watch it while you can):
If for some reason it is removed from YouTube, here is the BBC America version of the promo trailer as well:
New Trailer for Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars for the UK Only
The BBC Doctor Who website has made a new tailer of Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars presented at San Diego Comic Con available on their website. Unfortunately, it is available for the UK only.

This Week In Doctor Who - July 25/August 1, 2009
This Week In Doctor Who
July 25/August 1, 2009 - Vol 12, No 29
The weekly guide to Doctor Who broadcasts worldwide since 1998.
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Due to extraordinary circumstances, the TWIDW columns could not publish last weekend. This edition covers July 25 through August 7. We hope to return to a regular schedule on Saturday August 8.
Nothing Major Announced at SDCC So Far
No movie or other big news coming out of San Diego Comic Con 2009 relating to Doctor Who to report as of yet. Stay tuned to the upcoming Doctor Who: Podshock - Episode 157 in which we have quasi-live coverage with our correspondent Tara Wheeler of the events taking place today at the SDCC Doctor Who panel with David Tennant, Russell T Davies, and Julie Gardner and more.
With that said, it is still a very exciting convention with the guests on hand. We will have plenty to report in the next Doctor Who: Podshock.
The Mark of the Rani
Well I've always enjoyed this story and this watching just reinforced that. Yeah, there are problems but I've always tended to overlook them. Part one, as almost all Colin stories aspire to, is inspiring and very, very good. THIS is the way to introduce a new villain and THIS is the way to treat the Rani. Every other appearance by her tends to reduce her to the I want to rule the world villainess one dimensional charcter. Here, she's very much a 3d character IMO. She doesn't want to rule the world, or change time or do anything that fools like Ming the Merciless and the Master and Dr Evil want to do: she has reasons and good ones. She is amoral but not totally evil and not for evil's sake. I still hate her for what she does to Luke and the others but not as much as I hate the Master for killing the dog and the dog's owner. I hate when they have animals die in media but whatever...

I have stared riding again after a long absense.
My wife bought a bike in late August for exercise, I wasn't keen at the time but I dusted off a 1981 Panasonic Tourist I have had since I bought it new, thinking I needed to get out and do something, too.
I visited the local dealer where my wife bought her bike and talked to the dealer who checked out what I might be interested in and my basic "dimensions, then made some recommendations. I then "made the mistake" of taking a Trek Navigator 2.0 out. This was just to go around the block for a quick test with no serious intent to buy, after the first circuit, I went around the bolck again, then bought the bike.
I have been "training" to get accustomed to riding with the intent of riding the Friendship Trail and other nice trails in this area. I did get out on my first ride on the trail last week and did 25 km.
I am enjoying my bicycle and riding far more than I expected and will ride until the first time it snows and they salt the roads (corrosive ). I am having such a good time, I am riding my Nav. 2.0 more than my motorcycle, right now

Thunder acquires Tyson Chandler from the Hornets
The Thunder has taken a major step in its continued efforts of establishing a defensive identity. Oklahoma City acquired 7-foot-1 center Tyson Chandler in a trade with New Orleans on Tuesday, surrounding Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook with an anchor in the middle who's carved out a career through rebounding and shot-blocking. The Thunder sent Joe Smith, Chris Wilcox and the draft rights to DeVon Hardin, the 50th overall pick in the 2008 draft, to the Hornets. "We are pleased to welcome Tyson Chandler to the Thunder organization," said Thunder general manager Sam Presti. "We are excited to add a young, defensive-minded big man that we feel can help us now and in the future. Tyson has ties to the Oklahoma City community and we are excited to have him with us as we continue to build our organization." Chandler, 26, played one season as a member of the Hornets during the team's two-year stay in Oklahoma City in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It was during the 2006-07 season that Chandler blossomed into one of the league's best young defensive-minded centers, averaging 9.5 points, 12.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 73 games. Chandler averaged 11.8 points and 11.7 rebounds in 79 games with the Hornets last season but has been plagued by injuries this season. He's missed 18 games, including the past 12 because of a sprained ankle, and is averaging 8.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 32 games. In his first season with the Hornets, Chandler helped New Orleans go from a rebounding differential of minus-0.2 in 2005-06 to plus-2.3 in 2006-07 and increased the Hornets' blocked shots from 3.7 per game to 4.2 per game. The Thunder is now banking on Chandler growing with the current trio of Durant, Green and Westbrook and having a similar impact on Oklahoma City, which currently ranks among the league worst in several defensive categories. Chandler has two years remaining on his contract after this season worth $24.6 million but can opt out of the final year of his deal before the start of the 2010-11 season. Despite adding Chandler's contract, which pays him $11.8 million next season, the Thunder is still in a good position financially moving forward. Oklahoma City could have $10 million in cap space next summer and Chandler's contract comes off the books one year before an extension would kick in for Durant and Green. New Orleans future cap situation isn't as promising, which opened the door for Tuesday's trade. The Hornets, with just the contracts of Chandler, Chris Paul, David West, Peja Stojakovic and James Posey, would have had more than $55 million in salary tied up for next season. The salary cap this season is $58.68 million and the luxury tax is set at $71.15 million. Any team above the luxury tax threshold must pay $1 for every $1 in salary they exceed that figure. In Wilcox and Smith, the Hornets get two contracts that expire at the end of this season and lower their payroll to $64 million in 2009-10. Wilcox fell out of the Thunder's rotation this season and did not play in nine of the team's past 17 games. He is averaging 8.4 points and 5.1 rebounds this season. Smith is averaging 6.6 points and 4.5 rebounds but had missed 10 straight games from mid-January to early February because of a knee injury. Chandler, Smith and Wilcox are all expected to be inactive tonight when the Thunder hosts the Hornets.

Just a stopwatch-like timer class
Stopwatch is a simple stopwatch-like timer that can emit events. It currently works only in seconds and will parse a string for seconds, minutes, and hours, and fractions thereof.
// Node var Stopwatch = require'stopwatch-emitter'Stopwatch;var stopwatch1 = '5m';var stopwatch2 = '30s'; // Browser var Stopwatch = '0.5h';
var stopwatch = '5m'; // Start stopwatchstart; // Stop stopwatchstop; // Pause stopwatchpause; // Restart from any spot stopwatchrestart;
Stopwatch implements a classic event emitter. The node version uses the node event emitter and the browser version uses Oliver Caldwell's implementation of EventEmitter (thanks!). All events have the same name as the method that invokes them. An additional event
tick is also available which, as you might imagine, is called every second the stopwatch ticks.
var stopwatch = '5m'; stopwatchon'start' console.log'Started!';; stopwatchon'pause' console.log'Paused!';; stopwatchstart; // Started! stopwatchpause; // Paused! stopwatchon'tick' console.log'Tick!';; stopwatchrestart;// Tick! // Tick!
Stopwatch also have a few getters for time remaining, current time, and the max time, all in seconds. It also has an isRunning() call.
var stopwatch = '60s'; stopwatchgetCurrentTime; // 0 stopwatchgetMaxTime; // 60 // Start and wait 20 seconds... stopwatchstart stopwatchgetRemainingTime; // 40 stopwatchisRunning; // true

Edmond retirement community members make blankets for homeless children
EDMOND – The Knotty Ladies at Edmond's Touchmark at Coffee Creek retirement community have been cutting up – all to benefit children at Positive Tomorrows. Positive Tomorrows is the only elementary school in Oklahoma specifically serving homeless children and their families.
The Knotty Ladies Cutting Up – yes, that's the name of an informal group of Touchmark residents – so far have delivered 17 handmade fleece blankets to Positive Tomorrows.
Organized by resident Louise Haaland, the Knotty Ladies make the 36- by 54-inch "Comfy Blankets" by knotting two pieces of fleece material together.
Up to 17 women participate in this ongoing volunteer mission. Haaland said they learned about Positive Tomorrows from an Oklahoma City businessman.
According to Haaland, the group could also make lap blankets for elderly people.
"We understand there is a huge need," she said. "The blankets are big enough that children can wrap their arms around and take comfort in the soft warmth, and that's why we call them Comfy Blankets."
The group has generated funds for supplies through various activities and has received some donations, as well.
The psychosocial and mental health benefits of volunteering have been studied for several years in regard to reducing risk factors for depression, loneliness and isolation. Now, though, there are known physical health benefits.
In 2013, Carnegie Mellon University researchers looked at the relationship between volunteerism and lower blood pressure. They discovered that as little as 200 hours of volunteering annually provided a dramatic lowering of blood pressure.
